During a recent Saturday prayer time at The Covenant Center (Dec. 4th), a vision appeared in my mind's eye of a chess board with chessmen positioned. His hand appeared and began to move and reposition some of the chessmen on the board.
Then I heard, "I have been repositioning people. You will see some ministries moving to different locations and buildings/structures, even geographical relocation, as well as businesses, schools, individuals and families.
I am the Master Strategist and I will strategically place those in preparation for what I am soon releasing. I will guide and position those that I desire to elevate as well as those I will demote.
I will bring fresh alignment of ministries together, even finances, to support and compliment one another in the visions, call and plans I have assigned them to fulfill.
Do not fear the changes coming, trust me and know I am working on your behalf and will guide you - for it is written: 'Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purposes that prevail.'
I am a Father of great mercy and grace and will give victory to those in my covenant. Prepare your heart and you will see my plans and strategies unfold and rejoice."
This vision was very comforting to me, reminding me He knows the beginning and the end, and his vision and plans often are far more expansive than we can understand. I love and appreciate when God gives a glimpse of the future that helps us navigate life.
Then on the night of December 20th, he once again came with an encouraging dream. I was in a meeting with our Covenant Center family, when Richard called out,”It’s beginning to snow!” Now even in the dream I knew we lived in Florida and it was very, very rare to hear of this. I looked over at the large picture windows of our building and immediately saw large, plump, beautiful, hand size fluffy white snow flakes swirling about with some touching our windows and leaving their individual imprints, then floating to the ground.
I was so excited to see this most unusual phenomenon that I quickly ran outside where the dainty flakes enveloped me and others. Looking down at the ground which was almost covered, I realized I could build a snowman. I had never seen snow in Florida. Trying to catch some of the flakes in my hand I gleefully exclaimed: “It’s been twenty years since I have seen snow anywhere!”
In the next scene, I was sitting by a well known woman with a national prophetic platform, who I knew had recently declared that our nation would see snow in unusual places. There was another young man beside her and I spoke to them: “is it possible this is one of the signs you spoke of that snow would appear in unusual places where it doesn’t usually snow?” She responded with a sweet smile and I awoke, encouraged and curious to know more.
Our Father is bringing encouragement to us in this challenging season. What may appear dark and brooding, even invasive to our lives and our nation, is the perfect backdrop for the Lord to break forth in his majesty and glory.
In researching these visitations, here are some of the dream definitions and insight: Snow: is a symbol of a clean fresh start and purity; translucent or transparent; angels, clean heart, refreshing; and can represent the change of seasons. Twenty: which I yelled out as years since seeing snow represents: redemption; crowning achievement; divine order; completion for spiritual perfection; holiness; waiting with expectancy; number of recorded dreams; Jacob waited 20 years for possession; Israel waited 20 years for deliverance; the age of warriors.
Our Father is speaking releasing bits and pieces of the plans of heaven for you and your family, as well as this nation. The season is changing and his plans for redemption, aligning things back to his divine order, with a clean fresh start, and his spiritual perfection and holiness have arrived. The patience we have learned in waiting like Jacob and Israel will give way to spiritual completion to some in their assignments - some will even experience crowning achievements orchestrated by our King.
We of course must be prepared for the shifting and changing of the season drawing near. It will be important to keep our eyes and heart fixed on him, trusting him even when life seems dark. He loves you! He has a plan for your life! He is your greatest advocate and cheerleader, smiling and cheering you on toward your victories. He sends Holy Spirit, as well as his angel forces and heavenly hosts to guide, protect, counsel, give understanding, encourage you and gird you up with wisdom, revelation and understanding. His grace and mercy will wash away any moments of missing the mark as he walks by your side.
Darkness has come to the world but he desires for you and your homes to be filled with his glory and light. Egypt was very dark, a darkness that could be felt, but all the children of Israel maintained light in their homes. God desires for your home to be full of light, as well as joy and love.(Proverbs 3:33)
“He will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go and he will counsel you with his eye upon you,” (Psalm 32:8).
“The steps of a man are established by the Lord; and He delights in his way,” (Psalm 37:23).
“The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord,” (Proverbs 16:1).
“The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps, “ ((Proverbs 16:;9).
“And your ears will hear a word behind you, ‘This is the way, walk in it,’ whenever you turn to the right or to the left,” (Isaiah 30;21).
It has been a trying 2 1/2 years for everyone. But our Father is never without plans. You are always in my prayers that he will manifest himself to you, guide, protect, provide, bring health, joy and peace to you always. Let’s continue to place our trust in God, who is The Master Strategist, knowing that he desires to place a canopy of glory over your home (Isaiah 4:5), keep you in his health (Psalm 91:10, guide you and watch over you (Jeremiah 29:11), and give you the desire of your heart (Proverbs 10:24b).
“And let us not lost heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary,” (Galatians 6:9).
“And finally let’s not forget each to clothe ourselves in the armor of God: “Finally be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist on the evil day, and having done everything to stand firm, stand firm therefore, having belted your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having strapped on your feet the preparation of the gospel of peace; in addition to all, taking up the shield of faith with which you will be able to extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God,” (Ephesians 6:10-17).
Here we go dear friends! as we welcome 2022! God bless and keep you always - Onward!
In His Love,
