“I have come to light a fire on earth; What would I rather want, but it was already burning! But I must first be baptized with a baptism; And how anxious I am till it is completed!” Luke 12:49-50
After writing the dream I had about revival fire spreading (see it here: Revival Dream), I heard the Lord say: “Will I build the ship without providing the crew?”
At first it was a mystery what He meant, so I asked the Lord if it was the revival that is coming and going to hit the earth. If all Christians must be “on deck” to bring in the harvest of souls, then indeed revival can be a “ship.”
There may be more meaning yet to be revealed, but here are some revelations that I’ve gotten so far.
Ship:
– The first verses about a “ship” in the Bible, were the instructions given to Noah to build the Ark (beginning Genesis 6:14).
– I have heard that the flood was a type of baptism or cleansing for the earth (and for Noah).
– Jesus told His disciples that the end times will be “as the days of Noah were” (Luke 17:26-27). If the days ahead are as those days, what type of “ship” will likely save the people now?
– The waters of the flood Noah and his ark passed through was a type of baptism. What type of baptism would purify us now?
– As I read the above verses: Luke 12:49-50, it occurred to me that perhaps a fire baptism, such as John the Baptist spoke about. “I indeed baptize you with water for repentance, but He that comes after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: He shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire” (Matthew 3:11)
– God’s Holy Fire will purify and burn away evil and wickedness (briars and thorns: Isaiah 27:4). This fire will be a cleansing for believers in Christ, but those who refuse to believe and repent will inevitably be burned up by the consuming fire. (Just as the flood killed the ungodly).
– Also, Peter, Andrew, James, and John used a ship or boat in the New Testament to haul in fish, and these men became fishers of men (Matthew 4:19) ! If we want to save souls from the impending “flood” we must cast our nets and bring them into the safety of the ship.
– (If I receive more revelation about this Word, I will update this post).
The Great Commission:
Other pastors and prophetic people have confirmed the Revival Dream I had: that revival will hit earth and spread, and we are conduits to spread it. Another significance of revival is the harvest of souls that comes with it. One such minister is Patricia King in her video Prophetic Word for Harvesters. She also confirmed what God has been showing me about inheritance.
“And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover” (Mark 16:15-18)
This was a command. It was not only for pastors and missionaries, but for everyone who claims Jesus as their savior. Thousands of people are dying and going to hell every day. If we want to have a home with Jesus in heaven, we must partner with Him to fulfill this command and bring lost souls the good news of Jesus and tell them they too can have a home in heaven.
So I wanted to encourage you to pray and seek the Lord on how to be a part of the end-time revival and also how I have been preparing. Hopefully it will help you. YOU were born for such a time as this, God has plans for you to fulfill!
Be Part of the Great Commission:
At the beginning of this year (2022), someone suggested a video called: How Fasting (Literally) Changed My Circumstances by Terri Savelle Foy.
She says in the video (I highly recommend you watch it) to write your dreams or goals, pray and fast over them, declare them, and sow a financial seed for them as well.
The Bible says: “Commit your works unto the Lord, and your plans shall succeed” (Proverbs 16:3).
I wrote down the dreams in my heart and committed them to God. Then, He began to show me about my inheritance.
Bible Verses about Inheritance:
“Ask of me, and I shall give you the nations for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession” (Psalm 2:8).
“Every place whereon the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours” (Deuteronomy 11:24 a).
Your Inheritance:
You may say: “those verses means Jesus’ inheritance.” Yes! His inheritance is our inheritance! Did you know that when you give your life to Jesus, you gain an inheritance in Him? That is why He told His disciples to store up treasures in heaven instead of on earth. However, He has everything we truly need on earth as well.
I first prayed Deuteronomy 11:24 a as I anointed my home and property. Then, I began to ask the Lord for other lands where the sole of my foot shall tread. I asked this because I want to win the souls in that land – for the Kingdom of God.
You may say you are not qualified, smart enough, outgoing enough, or able, but in reality you aren’t doing the work – the Holy Spirit is doing the work. (“Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, says the Lord of hosts” Zechariah 4:6 b). Also, see my post called: Be You! We must not try in our own strength but be an empty vessel for God to use! He will give you the right strategies and those strategies unique to YOU – which will also bring you closer to Him and bring peace and joy to your heart.
God has a plan for you for such a time as this (or else you would have been born at a different time in history).
Here are some prayers you can pray:
Ask God:
to let you be part of the end-time revival and harvest.
for SOULS, and be ready to gather them.
for strategies to reach people, and for the resources you will need.
to let others recognize HIM through you.
for His Holy Spirit to empower you and guide you.
for sensitivity to His Spirit, so that you know what He is saying.
If you pray for opportunities, go forward in faith and believe God is holding your right hand and helping you (Isaiah 41:13).
Declare these verses aloud:
You can write them in your own journal and say them in the mornings:
I dwell in the secret place of the most High, I abide under the shadow of the Almighty (Psalm 91:1)
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Philippians 4:13)
I receive 7 fold what every devil has stolen from me in Jesus’ name (Proverbs 6:31)
I possess my possessions, in Jesus’ name (Obadiah 1:17)
God will restore all the years the locust has eaten (Joel 2:25)
I will fulfill the plans and purposes God has for my life (Jeremiah 29:11) God will hold my right hand,
He will help me, I will not fear (Isaiah 41:13)
Let’s gather in the harvest – it is our inheritance!! The devil will not take it from us!!
