'Prepare the people to hold the gates.' - the wind whispered to me with power and purpose.
This voice echoed through the realms of light in the midst of a surreal dream given to me last night.
In the brilliance of THIS LIGHT, an expanse bathed in warmth and radiance, a fence with myriad gates enclosed the space. Beyond these gates lingered a haunting DARKNESS, where people sat motionless.
SUDDENLY, THE WIND BLEW, UNLEASHING THE OPENING OF GATES.
Individuals, each with a unique role, rushed to their designated gates, holding them wide for those trapped in darkness:
A gatekeeper, a teacher, holding books and pencils.
A gatekeeper, a businessman in a polo, navigating prosperity.
A gatekeeper, a mom, balancing nourishment and refuge.
The Holy Spirit spoke again: "I SEND GATEKEEPERS INTO THEIR MONDAY MISSION.
NOW WATCH WHO WILL STEP THROUGH THE GATES!"
We are called to OCCUPY until His return, not as mere spectators, but as active participants in God's grand plan.
"Occupy" translates to pragmateuomai - engage in constant, fruitful transactions; leverage your existence.
Identify the gate, the territory, the space meant for you to OCCUPY.
The Kingdom of God resides within us, and the Holy Spirit yearns to breathe the west wind into the realm you are destined to occupy.
"Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in." (Psalm 24:7)
The Holy Spirit declares, "As the gates lift their heads to look at me, I will use their lives as platforms for my glory." People from all walks, in diverse roles, will become vessels of God's power in unprecedented ways!
He proclaims, "I will pour out upon businesses new vision, strategies, and divine ideas, unleashing the power to create wealth." (Deuteronomy 8:18).
As leaders, we embody the role of gatekeepers -
The door holders -
Whether a teacher or a business professional, you are a gateway!
The Lord whispers in this season, "As My people embrace My dominion, it shall be as the land of Goshen. 'You shall live in the land of Goshen, near Me, your children, your flocks, and all you possess.'" (Genesis 45:10)
Goshen was a sanctuary in times of judgment and famine, symbolizes God's protection, empowerment, and prosperity. It is where we encounter Him as Provider and Protector, tapping into the heavenly economy.
Share and declare - "The gates are open, and the glory is pouring in!"
