Firebird

Two weeks ago, I woke up to an image of an old blue firebird on an asphalt road. The bird spread out over the hood was white. I noticed a chunk of asphalt that had been torn out on the right edge. One would expect to avoid a chunk out of the road. Instead, the car purposefully headed directly towards it. I stiffened at the thought of the bumpy jolt that would occur upon impact, and the unknown beyond that point. I then thought, ‘It’s going off the road’, but was corrected, “No, it’s going off the grid.” I then noticed the metal grid lines over the road. When I asked God what he meant, I heard that we were going ‘off of the traditional setup’. When I asked why, I heard ‘for divine setup’.

            This morning I woke up to multiple images made up of roads or city streets, politicians, big city businesses, news media, cable wires, and reporters. I believe there were government buildings as well. In one instance, Bernie Sanders was the reporter. As I looked and wondered what this was all about, I saw a crisscrossing grid superimposed over the images. I heard something like ‘gridwork’.

            For clarity’s sake, light blue represents the presence of God. The white fire-bird is the ‘fire’ of the ‘Holy Spirit’ spread out over the church. We all knew before the election that the one thing that we could expect is the unexpected. Don’t stop praying. God isn’t done. When did Jesus go to Lazerus? Keep praying. The battle is always fiercest on the threshold. God is igniting his people right now. I have had multiple dreams of the church and fire recently.

It is important also to watch our words. I had to repent of my words towards our last president, Obama, and over this nation. Speak life! Especially when there is so much hanging in the balance. It makes no sense to pray for wisdom, and then prophesy or decree with your words that he’s an idiot. Not to mention that we do not see what goes on behind closed doors. Our words carry great weight.

Like when God got Moses’ attention (a divine setup) and called him out of a burning bush, he has his people’s attention.
