VISION: SONS OF GLORY (AND "PUSH CHURCH, PUSH!!)

Dear Steve,
This is the latest vision I received while praying for the youth.

Blessings,

VISION OF THE SONS OF GLORY

While in a time of prayer and worship, I saw a vision of the earth splitting wide open and one by one, young men and women were attempting to come forth from creation. As I looked more closely, I saw that there was a covering over the place where the young people were trying to come out of. It had the appearance of an amniotic sac and the young people were struggling to push their way out. I immediately was impressed by the Holy Spirit, that this was a birthing process and that it was also a difficult birth.

I heard the Spirit say "Push Church, Push".

The young people were growing so weary from the birthing process, that I sensed there was a possibility that some would be lost. I then saw a picture of birth and the head of a tiny babe was crowning and then receding. The labor pains were extremely intensive but the child was unable to stay in the position for birth, the head was going back and forth and back and forth and the baby was becoming exhausted.

I felt specifically this picture of birth referred to the vision of the youth coming forth as part of the Lord's end time army, with particular application to the late teenage years and the twenty's. Just like the image of the tiny babe, they too were spiritually exhausted and needed birth assistants to stand with them for a safe 'delivery'

OUR SUFFERINGS AREN'T WORTH COMPARING

"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us. The creation waits in eager expectation for the sons of God to be revealed." Ro 8:18

I began to travail and ask the Lord for strength for these young people and to cry out to Him and ask that He would give a similar burden to travail to the spiritual mothers and fathers in the Church.

The Lord instructed me that this travail would take two forms. One would be a travail that involved the intensive pains of labor, and the other would be a travail that used praise as a tool for the harvest. Great joy would be released to bring forth the sons of creation. Zion brought forth before she travailed, and the youth that I saw in the vision are already birthed in the heavenly places, but I believe the Lord is calling us to help Him birth these awesome apostolic young people and see them come forth in the natural.

"Before she goes into labor, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son." Is 66:7

TIME TO HELP IN THE BIRTHING PROCESS

We must take up our places in the birthing process and call out to God until these precious saints come forth. Like never before we are required to enter into the process of spiritual birthing.

"PUSH CHURCH, PUSH!"

The Lord's words "Push, church, push" will remain forever etched in my soul.

Simultaneously with this a vision, I also saw a vision of the Lord, and from the Center of His being, many young people were running out from Him. From the womb of the dawn the warriors came forth. This speaks of the absolute certainty that the Lord has purposed that young people have a place in Him and His purposes. They have an inheritance of Glory, just as the older generations do.

THE KINGLY ANOINTING

King David laid the foundations for the Temple to be built. He recognized the inexperience of his young son, and with great joy, he led the leaders of Israel in a time of sacrificial giving. Despite having used his resources to provide for the Temple, King David willingly gave from his personal wealth because of His devotion to the Lord. David moved in a 'kingly anointing', an anointing that is coming upon the Church today. What is evident from this passage (1 Chr 29) is that under the kingly anointing, the generations learned to work together.

THE OLDER GENERATION IS THE FOUNDATION

The experience of the older generation (David) laid the foundation for the younger generation (Solomon) to build upon. It was with great joy that this sacrificial giving was made. David prepared the way for his son to move into the fullness of all that God had prepared for him. In deep humility David paved the way for the next generation to step into the purposes of God, without any loss of his own authority, integrity or unique position in the Lord. The consecration of the Temple was carried out by Solomon, who lovingly embraced the mantle of his forefathers, which was passed from father to son. This coming together of the generations in complete unity preceded the GLORY falling upon the people.

"When Solomon finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the Lord filled the temple" 2 Ch 7:1

THE GENERATIONS MUST WORK TOGETHER

David of himself could not build a house for the Lord's Glory. But with his son, who understood that peace and rest are in the Glory, together with the worshippers, they saw God's Glory come down. This is a picture for the Church today. The generations must work together in unity if we are to see the Glory fall. The weighty presence of God will come through ascending the hill of the Lord, entering through the gates of praise, leading into anointed worship, to standing in the Glory. We are called to live in the Glory realm and to experience the atmosphere of heaven. In the Glory there is rest, refuge and protection, in the Glory God's presence is manifest; in the Glory there is ease, ease for healing, for resurrection power to flow. We must rid ourselves of every ounce of death in order that resurrection life and power will flow through the Church. In the Glory, there is holiness and sanctification. In the Glory, we see the manifest presence of God and we hear His voice. The presence of Jesus and the Holy Spirit bring the anointing and in the intimacy comes the Glory. In unity of spirit, the Glory falls.

"My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one: I in them and you in me. May they be brought to complete unity to let the world know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me." John 17:20-23

WE MUST HELP BIRTH THE NEXT GENERATION. EVERY WARRIOR IS NEEDED

Beloved, join with me in praying for the next generation. We so need one another. The Holy Spirit will teach us how to move forward into the Glory.

"But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you." John 16:13-15
