An Open Vision of the Rider and His White Horse
A couple of days ago, I was taken into an open vision. To be honest, it really messed me up (in a good way). Then during a time of prayer and soaking the next day, the Father took me back into it again! So, here it is unabridged, just as it came. I share it today out of obedience to the Father and with the fear of the Lord. I do not share this lightly whatsoever.
Vision received on April 19, 2026:
I was standing outside a massive fortress. It was constructed out of rugged stone and was very well built. In fact, it was in as good of shape as the day it was built. The walls were high and wide, with soldiers on guard, walking about and looking out over the ledge walls. There were tall towers on each corner standing tall over the structure. There was nothing that could get by these guys.
As I was taken in closer, I realized that this was more than just an ordinary fortress. This one was one-hundred percent Kingdom in nature, as there was an accompanying deployment—a massive angelic host that accompanied the boots on the ground.
Now, at first I was standing outside the moat that surrounded the fortress, but it seemed not only to be deep water, but moving water, like a river. It would be impossible for man to cross. I watched as the big, heavy drawbridge was let down. As it locked into place, the big steel bar gate was lifted, and the big, thick, heavy-duty doors swung wide open.
This is where it shifted for me. I suddenly found myself with the Lord inside the fortress. He handed me a bright, brand-new, polished sword that fit me perfectly, along with my new armor!
The next thing I knew, I was on a horse, and we were galloping across the drawbridge, and the Lord—the Captain of the hosts—was in front of me, riding a white horse!
The Lord was dressed in the finest of armor. He had a crown on His head and a scepter in His hand! With a big grin on His face, He looked back at us from over His shoulder, for pouring out of the fortress across the drawbridge was an army of riders and horses and the angelic host following Him!

As He rode and led the way through the forest, there were others coming out of the highways and byways to merge with us as we rode together at a full gallop, following the Lord. It was exhilarating! There was positive expectation and enthusiasm as we all fell into form and rode together. I knew by the Spirit that this was unto victory! It was unto triumph! It was about defeating the powers of darkness! It was a new day! I knew this was a major turning point for the nations. I knew He would conquer! I knew we would conquer.
New life and hope saturated the atmosphere. Men, women, and children were coming out of hiding—safe, secure, loved, and protected—ready to prosper in His goodness! It was very clear that hope, healing, deliverance, and freedom were being released throughout the nations. This is what we had been waiting for!
God's Hopeful and Victorious Words to Us
As I was journaling this out, the Father spoke to me. Here it is:
"Barry, tell My people I am the first and the last. I am the Alpha and the Omega. I am faithful and true. I am the one and only true and living God, and there is no other like Me or above Me!
"I am the Lord of hosts. I am the Great I am. I am the Creator of the universe. I knew each and every one of My children before the beginning of time! And oh, how I have longed to gather them under the shelter of My wings.
"Barry, tell My people not to give up hope! Tell My people, weeping may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning; for I know that it seems all you know is weeping. And you have sown in tears and you will reap in joy! (Photo via Pexels)
"Again, I say to you, there is a time for peace and there is a time for war. It brings Me no pleasure to take out evil kings and regimes. Oh, how I wish they would turn their hearts unto Me, yet they have given themselves over to evil.
"My dear little ones, you must trust Me in this hour, and trust that I still speak to kings. For I still have those called by My name to serve Me and to protect My children and to disciple nations, so be careful not to judge what I have ordained in this hour!
"Barry, tell My people that there is a great awakening that is upon you, and there will be shakings among you until every dividing wall is down, and you learn to love as I love! For I am coming for a Bride, a beautiful Bride without spot or wrinkle. I will settle for nothing less!
"Barry, tell My people to come out of darkness into My glorious light. It really is up to you—the choice is yours. Remember that you only advance at the speed of your obedience. Don't wait for tomorrow for what you can do today!
"Do not fear, for My ways are for you, not against you! It is time. Will you ride with Me today? I am ready for you!
Holy is the Word of the Lord.
