VISION - WOMEN OF COURAGE ARISE

FOR THE WOMEN OF SCOTLAND AND ACROSS THE GLOBE...
On Sunday 6th February, the Lord gave me a vision, which I believe was for the women of Scotland, but also for women across the globe.
I saw a small group of women standing in a circle, holding hands. They stood extremely close together and I noticed that they were very different and I understood these women spanned the generations and the denominations. This first circle was a forerunner - a statement of unity in part that will come in full, to the Body of Christ.
The circle enlarged as I watched, and many more women came and joined the original small circle. As the circle of unity was completed, the women held hands and each of them pushed back their heads and began to cry out to the Lord with all that was within them.
A WALL OF FIRE
Immediately, a wall of fire surrounded the women. I heard the Lord say "I, myself, will be a wall of fire around my people." The wall of fire represented the holiness and fear of the Lord.
As I gazed on, the women ascended to heaven, still holding on to each other's hands. An angelic escort received them in the heavenly places, with many angels and chariots surrounding them. The main host was a massive angel, whom I am certain was Michael. The sound of thunder was all around, and this spoke of the coming of the Presence of God. The sound became louder and louder, until it was almost deafening and the fear of God gripped the women.
AN INTIMATE ENCOUNTER WITH JESUS
In a flash, the Lord Himself appeared in the midst of the women. Each woman came before the Lord. Even although there were too many to number, the women had a personal and intimate encounter with Jesus. He cradled each woman's face in His hands and spoke "Well done, good and faithful servant". On each cheek, he planted a tender kiss. The favor of God was spoken forth over everyone. Not one woman was missed by the Savior; each was called forth and commissioned.
To some women a beautiful garment was given. The garment shone with the Radiance of the Righteousness of Jesus Christ. Each of us receives the imputed Righteousness of Christ Jesus by faith at the moment of salvation, yet as we are conformed and changed into His image, as we walk the path of brokeness and sacrifice, I believe there comes a point when the Garment of Righteousness is imparted experientially to us. This was the garment that I saw. There were some that had walked this path and these women received the garment from the Lord's hand.
WEAPONRY FOR BATTLE
Each woman was equipped for battle. The angels were giving out weaponry. The weaponry spoke of the nature and character of God. The women received fresh revelation of the grace, of the mercy and of the unchanging nature of God; the banner of Righteousness over them was without blemish.
The women were then dispatched to the north, the south, the east and the west. They were equipped to wage war. There was a blinding light, which was the Glory of God; His Shekinah was their hiding place. The women entered the battle from a place of refreshing, hidden in the Glory, equipped with strong armor, with a new revelation of their authority in Christ Jesus. They had been called, commission and sent forth.
THE SOUND OF WAR
I heard the sound of many horses, and the angels were released to fight alongside the women. The sound of war was all around.
WOMEN OF GOD, ARISE!!
"Women of God arise. Women of weeping arise. Women of courage and women of destiny come forth from thy hiding places, see thy hiding place is now in My Shekinah. Your labors of love have not been hidden from My sight. It is time to come out of your prayer closets and to link up and to link arms across this land. Region to region, My Spirit shall bring about divine connections and Holy alliances.
Many of you have felt as though My Spirit and My Presence have departed from Your land, but see the season of bareness has come to an end and the wilderness shall come forth from desolation into fruitfulness. The spirit of Hannah shall release Samuel to the nations. The spirit of Miriam shall bring forth the new sound for revival. The spirit of Elizabeth shall birth many apostolic sons and daughters who will prepare a people for the Lord, and the spirit of Mary shall release faith and humble obedience as My Spirit overshadows my children, to bring forth apostolic anointing."
I have not departed from you; I stepped back only in order that you might press in for more of Me. See the wilderness shall bloom and you shall go forth a mighty army in My Name. Women of courage arise, see your Savior goes before you and the hosts of heaven war on your behalf. Take courage, humble yourself under My mighty hand and press forward in faith for your destinies. Amen
