Dear GodSippers,
Here is the the dream I promised to share. December 31st was one of those nights where I heard the voice of the Lord saying the same phrase over and over again. I tossed and turned with it as He repeated these words,
THE END OF AN ERA ...
I was in and out of prayer in the spirit as I wrestled between hearing and sleeping for what seemed like hours. This is not a new type of experience for me, but it certainly was as intense as any time I’ve heard Him in the night. I struggled with bringing myself to an awakened state and finally said, “Lord, I’m sorry. I am so tired. Help me understand and don’t let me forget anything when I get up.” I will tell you I hate those times when I simply cannot gather the strength to overcome sleep and stay with Him. It is a battle of tired flesh and I fight by the Spirit, but I know He is patient with me and His training will be ongoing until I make it all the way Home. (If you’ve had it happen, you know. I’m sharing this for you. Forgive yourself, pray through, and have no condemnation for it. He is the Faithful One.)
Returning to sleep, I heard it again, THE END OF AN ERA. Suddenly, I saw two people. (This was probably more of a vision than a dream. Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference but I was in what I call ‘that in between place’.)
The two people I saw were a man, and immediately after seeing him, I saw a woman. Each of these had their right arm held out as if to show their muscle, but their arms were not fully raised in a strong position. They looked tired and their right arms had fallen down, but still with a fist turned and elbow bent in the ‘show your muscle’ posture. On the inside of each of their right arms I could see there were scars. They were like railroad tracks, parallel stripes, from the wrist to the upper arm.
Then I heard Holy Spirit say, DISAPPOINT. This strong word opened my eyes and sat me up straight. I asked Him, “Are you disappointed, Lord?” He said it once more, slowly and broke it into these syllables, DIS – APPOINT. I WILL DIS – APPOINT.
At this moment, I came fully awake with immediate understanding of what I had seen. The Lord impressed on me that we are in the END of the ERA where the people of God will rely on their own strength. In the church and largely throughout the body of Christ, we have been operating by our own strength which will certainly tire us and will not accomplish His will.
He says to us, NO LONGER will you operate by your own strength, but I will guide you by My MIGHTY RIGHT ARM.
I will DIS – APPOINT.
The Lord is DIS – APPOINTING those who continue to try to do their own thing and build their own kingdoms. He is coming to the rescue of His people, those sheep without a shepherd, and relieving us of disjointed bodies where Holy Spirit is not given FULL REIGN to operate. The End of the Era is here. The people of God will either get with His agenda or be DIS-APPOINTED.
The scars on the arms of the man and woman represent our efforts to ‘heal ourselves’ trying in our own strength to do works for our own salvation and transformation. Our own efforts are never going to be the stripes by which we are healed. ONLY BY HIS STRIPES are we healed and BY HIS DOING in all things, we do have healing, strength and wholeness.
Finally, I heard, REIGN SUPREME. I WILL REIGN SUPREME IN MY CHURCH and I WILL DIS-APPOINT them.
This is the Word of the Lord to His Church. Let those who would rule without Christ as Head of His body be dis-appointed. Let us turn back to HIS SUPREME REIGN as He IS the ONE WHO WILL REIGN SUPREME. This is a definite TIMING thing and came to me on the last night of the year of 2023. While many are speaking of WAR in 24, I am seeing the WAR being of many types of conflicts.
Possibly our biggest concern for conflict should be focused on praying through and in unity for the COMING TOGETHER in UNITY and COMMUNITY in the BODY of CHRIST. His MIGHTY RIGHT ARM will save and nothing we can do in our own strength will ever bring lasting gain. Let every other kingdom fall but let the LORD REIGN forever in HIS KINGDOM.
“Behold, the Lord God comes with might, and his arm rules for him; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms, he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are wth young.” ~ Isaiah 40:10-11 (ESV)
Clearly, the scriptures tell us of the strong and righteous arm of the loving Shepherd who is our Lord God. He will not let His lambs go. He will not allow the shepherds of His flock to neglect what He has entrusted to them.
“The strong right arm of the Lord is raised in triumph. The strong right arm of the Lord has done glorious things!” ~ Psalm 118:16 (NLT)
GLORIOUS things He has done by HIS STRONG RIGHT ARM! May we return to reliance on the Lord God alone. Pray this with me. Pray for the church and all the people of God. We must worship Him alone in Spirit and in Truth.
Add your prayers, insights, or confirmations in the comments. We can agree to submit to the Lord alone. In Christ.
Jill, is it possible this has to do with the great falling away?
Brother Randy! I hadn’t thought about that. It is quite possible, but I don’t know! Pray into it and let me know what more you receive. Thanks for your prayers and love.
He has us by His Righteous Right hand if we submit to him.🙏
Amen! He has us, no matter what. Love you, Sister Sherry!
💜💜💜
I almost forgot-beautiful picture!!
Kathy, Right up our alley… BEACH time. That one is from the Gulf and I have so many more! 🙂
Such confirmation to my spirit. All of it Jill thank you. Be encouraged nothing but the truth will set us free. We are either guilty or not guilty, no one is innocent. Love you.
Sissy, I miss seeing you! Your words have always been deeply affirming to me. Thank you for sharing and for continuing in all you are doing. LOVE YOU.
Amanda Grace is having a night of prayer on Sunday Jan 14. A prayer for the nation and President Trump and Family. Unity….the Lord wants us unified. Maybe we can do a night of prayer in the future and come together as one…..who knows maybe it can be a thing…coming together in agreement van certainly change things! Xoxo
Michele, I love this idea! Yes. Please let’s come together and pray. Text me for some prayer opportunities I’ve been enjoying lately. Love & Hugs.
I love this. The Lord has been teaching us more and more about walking in the Spirit and it’s been the subject of many thoughts, prayers and conversations recently. Seeking Him first, acknowledging Him in ALL our ways and He’s showing us that He WILL direct our paths. Being aware that it’s ALL spiritual. I heard this in a teaching and it resonated… Jesus is Spirit, but had to learn to be human. We are human having to learn to be spirit.
When you wrote this…
“relieving us of disjointed bodies where Holy Spirit is not given FULL REIGN to operate.” …it reminded me of a dream I had several years ago. I was on a train with a bunch of believers and we were all “sardined” in a, otherwise empty, train car. We were standing up, but most people’s arms were “disjointed” and they didn’t seem to mind it, even though it looked very uncomfortable.
Part of the lesson I’m getting, with what God gave you is, we can’t be comfortable with this type of scenario.
Love how God brings things full circle, while using His children, who are seeing in part, to work together to see more clearly.
Love you sister.
Wow. Michelle. This ‘disjointedness’ really strikes me and rings true as confirmation and as UNITY in what we are receiving as we operate together in the Body. SO good. Thank you for sharing and much love to you.
The Lord has told a scribe I follow that the great falling away is happening now not only in the church but also in the world. As we see so many in the world condemning Israel and cheering on Hamas we see scripture coming to pass that says they will call good evil and evil good. So let us all hold on tight to King Jesus for He will never let us go. The harvest is great but the workers are few so let us win them back to Him who is love. Love, Joyce
Joyce, I do see this. It seems to be at least the beginning of a great falling away, as we truly are watching biblical prophecy unfolding right before our eyes. YES! HOLD TIGHT to King JESUS! Thank you so much for sharing this encouraging confirmation. Much love to you.
Amen Jill! I opened my phone this morning to today’s scripture…
Isaiah 42:10 Fear not for I am with you: Be no dismayed, for I AM your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
This one is one of my favorites and one that the Holy Spirit called to mind over the last week as I have been spiritually battling. This IS His promise, to uphold with HIS righteous right hand!
Opening this vision/dream this morning which you were given is even more confirmation! Praise God for His faithfulness to us! Thank you for your obedience in sharing. Love you! Sharon
Sharon, I cannot love this enough. I had the same thing happen and then again from another source just before I came to respond to comments! God knows how hardheaded we (I) can be…Ha! Say that ONE more time, please! LOVE you so much. Your comments are always so helpful. Thank you.
Jill this word is in line with the prophetic word I have been hearing. The Bible clearly says our strength is from/in the Lord. Our part as His church is to pray into these things, pray the word of God because nothing we can do or say of our own will change anything. I believe He has put us in a position to really see we can’t do this on our own. We all need to pray and ask Him to show us where we are trying to do things in our own strength. Great word, thank you for sharing it.
Thanks so much for sharing this, Linda! We need to keep encouraging each other to stay on these things in prayer. Exactly this.
