On June 1st this year, I had what I believe to be "a dream within a dream".
For the most part, I was only an observer, yet it was so vivid and real that I felt it significant to share with the Body of Believers. The time of harvest is quickly approaching and we must be ready. In this dream, the date was October 16th. I observed Kathryn Kuhlman standing on stage wearing her long, flowing white dress with her left arm outstretched. Her boney index finger was pointing at the audience as she began to prophesy:
"All those born on October 16th have a special anointing. And there's a special anointing being released to the Body and it's very powerful!"
The scene quickly changed and I was standing outside where I observed ancient, black wrought iron gates. They were rather scary looking because of their size and age. These ancient gates were perhaps twelve feet high and thirty feet in length. They were attached to a black stonewall on either side like a fortress. The gates had been closed and locked for many, many years.
As I looked closer, I could see thousands of people standing behind the closed gates. In fact I could see no end to this massive gathering of people. There were people from every tongue, tribe and nation. However in unity, as one Body, they all worked together to push open the gates. Then breaking through the darkness into the light, they all ran quickly to receive this anointing Kathryn Kuhlman prophesied and released. -End of dream.
A New Beginning
I believe this is an important date and new beginning for the Body of Christ. October 16, 2014 is a Jewish holy day called Shemini Atzeret. See below:
It directly follows the Jewish festival of Sukkot which is celebrated for seven days, and thus Shemini Atzeret is literally the eighth day; but it is a separate yet connected holy day devoted to the spiritual aspects of the festival of Sukkot. Part of its duality as a holy day is that it is simultaneously considered to be celebrated as being both connected to Sukkot, yet also being a separate festival in its own right. (Via Wikipedia.)
The Hebrew word "shemini" means "eighth", and prophetically the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles indicates a new beginning for the coming harvest. According to Jewish tradition, Shemini is the ending of the holiday of Sukkot and the beginning of "Time of our Happiness or Joy." It's the end of one season and the beginning of another.
In the week prior to Bob Jones' death, one of the prophetic actions he completed was defeating the enemy as satan was trying to steal joy and gladness from the Church. Now is time for the Church to rejoice and to be happy and strong in the Lord. He is our Joy (Galatians 5:22) therefore; the joy of the Lord is the strength of the Church.
"Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." Nehemiah 8:10
I believe the mass of people behind the wrought iron gates indicate the harvest ready for release. People that have been held in bondage for many, many years will now break forth from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of His glorious Light. They will know the Truth and be set free from the bondage of personal prisons.
These are people from every walk of life and every corner of the earth that had been held captive by the works of the enemy. But when they hear the word of God they will run toward the anointing, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against them. There will be such a revelation of the Son of God that they will not question or second-guess their salvation.
Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in Heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." Matthew 16:17-18
The Church Embraces Wisdom
Recently in two separate visions, I saw the Church awakening. Where she was presumed dead, new life was breathed into her. When she awakened, immediately she humbled herself and embraced Wisdom. The evidence of striving, bitterness, unforgiveness and jealousy quickly left her body.
Instead of being old and crippled she was strong, healthy and joyful. She was spiritually mature and led by the Holy Spirit of Truth. She embraced everyone with love and kindness, yet spoke with authority and everyone called her Blessed.
I believe October 16th is a significant date this year as the harvest begins in full swing. Christ in us (the Body of Believers) the Hope of Glory, will be evident in the Church. The whole earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord (Habakkuk 2:14) as the captives are set free from bondage and the Church embraces Wisdom.
For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14
