A Vision of a Line in the Sand

Make No Room for the Enemy

At the end of the vision I heard the Spirit say that the distraction of accusing our brothers and sisters has made room for the enemy in our land. The enemy enters through breaches in the wall. When we are divided it creates opportunity for the enemy to strike.

I saw a wonderful story on the news this past week about a couple who were walking hand in hand when the young man was struck in the head by lightening. The electricity was transferred through his body, through both their hands, then down her body and out her feet. The doctors that treated them said that they were alive because they “shared the strike.” Had the young man taken the full force on his own it most likely would have killed him, but because they were joined, neither of them was seriously injured.

This is a beautiful picture of unity and our need for one another. When we stand in opposition to each other, we cannot withstand the strikes of the enemy; but when we join in intimacy and unity we overcome. We need one another!

Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up… Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. (Photo via Pixabay)

This is a truth not just for personal relationships, but also for the corporate Body. When we stand together there is protection and authority. The enemy knows this, which is why he works so hard at dividing relationships and severing bonds of love. He would rather we hold a stone that harms than hold a hand that heals. Our unity releases authority. This is why (in the vision) when the four men and the one being accused embraced they became ONE. They not only became one person, but they were now ready to face the giant. They were given the new stone with the Lord’s name written upon it and sent out to strike the enemy in the head with this stone.

Be Encouraged

This word is not meant for condemnation but encouragement! God disciplines those whom He loves. When He speaks a word of correction it is proof that we are His sons and daughters. If you have been holding stones of accusation, then be aware you can simply drop the stones and embrace your brother or sister and allow the Lord to restore what the enemy has stolen. Forgive as you have been forgiven.

If this is not directed to you, pray for the Body of Christ. Pray and don’t judge those holding stones – because that would be picking up a stone! Let’s bind together in the love of Christ and receive the stone with His name upon it so we might stand against the giants in the land. Let’s slay those giants that have come to oppose the Kingdom of God working through the Church to bless our families, our culture, and our nations.
