An Esther Awakening

At one of our Furnace Room prayer gatherings, we were given a prophesy and prayer point that we’ve been utilizing in our prayer and intercession for two years now. By that prophetic word we have been waging battle. For the Esthers to arise and the prodigals to come home. Amazingly enough this word was not confined just to our group. But, afterward we began hearing many confirmations across the body of intercessors, abroad and at home. This article describes the company of Esther’s’ God is still raising up in the land, who are now manifesting like an end of days army.

The Esther Company Arising.

It goes like this: “She’s awakening to her destiny, it was all for an appointed time. The Esther Awakening, is a selected portion of  the bride of Christ (established in strategic positions) becoming aware that the controversy against her own, is with in her power to address. As she did in the book of Esther, in the Bible.  It is become evident that our modern day Esthers’ have a responsibility to step up and use their favor, position, and influence, to make known the enemy’s plans to those that are unaware, and have the power to stop it.  Men and women under a powerful revelation from God, rising up to the fact that this is their time to be bold, to be courageous, to enter the courts, to approach the bench, and set the record straight. These whom have offices and accesses in governments, from the school house to the White House, and everything in between. To stand up in the senator’s chamber, the executive board meetings,  in private and public hearings, all across this land, making their requests known and their petitions heard, against great controversy that is arising in America. This Esther (the Bride of Christ, who consist of believers of all kinds and gender) this American Esther, has stood in a bit of obscurity not knowing the power she has, until now …  but this epiphany, this awareness of duty, has begun to reveal itself in dreams, visions, and Holy Spirit encounters sealed for the political landscape we find ourselves in now.  A Journey of times.

Years of training and preparation, for some- master’s degrees, and doctorates. For others military advancements, and political appointments, and academic tenures … promotions moving individuals from one position to another, one place to another, one opportunity to another, that has really been His plan all along. Though it often moved the missionary minded heart farther and farther away from the missionary field, and the way of life from one’s own peers, (even as depicted in Esther’s own story) assignments and amazing doors for access, in this moment of time, was planned from the very beginning. To be a voice of protest, and exposure, with great power and conviction. To thwart Satan’s plans. The Esther company has been planted in High place as well as obscure places through out the governments of this world for such a time as now. Many are realizing the cost, at the same time they are beginning to understand, these positionings were ordained by God. Some have led to power, wealth, and privilege, existing only because the Father purposed it to be so.  An Esther company is coming into an awareness of her leverage and calling. No matter where she has found herself in this hour, the challenge is the same. The gears of oppression are turning and she is one of the few that can stand in the way, in her unique position and favor, and shed light on an evil scheme. Only because of where God has placed her! Will she be crushed, or will she be the one that makes Hamen pay? Either way, her reward is that she was not silent when silence was the easiest road to travel. Upon her gift, upon her favor; yet, limited access, she imposes herself (by faith) in that moment of opportunity, even stretching her scope of privilege, she pushes through an (otherwise) closed door, relying upon divine placement and her God, to prosper her in her way … The Esther company (responded to) releases a provision from heaven, a flood gate of wisdom, council, and might, to be the viceroy of sovereigns, the adviser to powers and thrones, in her wake when those powers yield to the request of Esther. To fill the vacuum of evil advisors and wicked policies exposed by her well selected script, by a modern day Mordecai. Where there is an Esther there is a Mordecai standing in the wings. While there is a company of Esthers stationed though out the Kingdom. From PTA moms to Executives, it’s the prophets, the Mordicais’ that advise and council this company to see the position that she has. Being in an historical place in time, that what she is a part of is bigger than the part she plays – but her destiny is to take center stage for one brief moment of time, to engage, and persuade the powers to be, to compel them to come, at her table, in the presence of her enemies, attended by those who stand polarized between two great powers. The power of good and the power of evil. Pray for the Esther awakening to have courage, pray her words will be anointed and irrefutable. As Esther of old understood her remarkable story was for the cause of her people, so now many in places of influence are understanding their own success or unique access was for the cause of Christ.  As Esther approaches, thrones, podiums, and microphones, all over this land, she will not be alone, the Body of Christ, (Him for Her and Her for Him, for she is not her own they are one …) we will fast and pray. Knowing the cost, for all that can be lost for her disclosures and requests. Now is the time in history, she’s been in the courts and palaces. She has had the freedom to run down the halls of privilege and power. Lo for seasons and times. But this story will fade, the voice of the bride and the bride groom will become silent in the land, if the Esther company fails her appointment with destiny.  We prophesy to the Esther company rise up and be brave, be courageous. As Esther of old understood the risk, she intrepidly laid it all down, if I perish I perish …  Esther 4:16, her famous words. So it is, this awakened Body called the Esther company, now rising taking  her place in American history, in the state of captivity she finds herself now in.  So very convicted, even now, by the ancient words of Mordecai: “How do you not know it was for this you were born?“”

A Word For America by Deana Barnes 9/4/2009


When time brings prophetic words in greater focus. Looking back on:

 

A Word for America 

(The Good Friday Prophecy.)

Today is Good Friday, and we went for a drive to pray. We did this because we were staying in a hotel and didn’t want to think about whether or not we were being too loud.

As soon as we hit the freeway we felt the Spirit rise and anointed prayer began. After awhile we felt the glory and heavy anointing as we parked to pray. It had been a stormy day. As we prayed it began to rain, and the sound of the rain paralleled with our praise. The intense portion of praise was matched with a heavy pouring rain, and as the praise began to subside so did the rain, until we went into a stillness in the Spirit and it stopped. And this is what I heard the Lord say:

This is going to be a Passover for you. This is going to be a Passover for my people who have taken hold of me. This thing going on in America, is an answer to your prayers. Because I told you that if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked way, that I would heal their land. And don’t you know that before the healing their must be a purging, a cleansing, and a washing? And you know what you see is the wicked getting his belly full of everything that he has wanted, it is given to the wicked that they can have it to the hilt. And I have moved back to let them have it. But the nation will vomit it up, and those who have not stood as they should have, will be sickened by it, and they will vomit it up, while it is yet in their teeth, and in their mouths, and they will hate the thing that is happening in their land … And this is like that when one is given over to the destruction of the flesh so that they can have their belly full of it, and the consequences, that they may see what they really don’t want before the soul dies … For America is backsliden; a prodigal …

Because America belongs to God.

And America has had her full revolution of 400 years and she was dedicated for the Glory of God and she was raised up to be a place of refuge; her foundation was planted in the kingdom, however, that which has been built upon her has been mixed with the works of men. But now the shaking… and their is turmoil in the atmosphere, and shaking in the ground, and winds and sea that is raging against her border, wars, and rumors of war; economic woes. But all this is going to be as the Passover to my people who know the power of the blood; who apply the Blood and the Word over the door post of their mind, heart, and souls, and in all their strength; who trust in me. For this nation will be shaken down to her Godly roots. Those things fastened into the foundation will hold, but the rest will be removed to the base. And what you see is the answer to your prayers. America will not be forgotten by God, a little while I will turn from her, but with everlasting kindness I will draw her to myself. And she will be built back up in the Spirit, and this nation will return to the God of it’s fathers. And they have raised a hedge, says the Lord, but it has been a hedge of gold, and they have thought that their money would help them. And they have been like the church in scripture that has said, ” We are rich and have no need of anything, but they are poor, blind and naked. And I told them to purchase of me Gold refined and tried by fire…

Revelation 3:14-18

To the angel of the church in Laodicea write:
These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God’s creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth. You say, ‘I am rich; I have acquired wealth and do not need a thing.’ But you do not realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind and naked. I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see …
America’s darkest night will be her greatest moment.

Watchman of the NIght

Now I want to talk to you about this place of the Watchmen. This prophetic intercessor whose life has been a complete surrender to the will of God; where few have understood them. There is a place in the Spirit where the Wall Prophetgoes, where they see impending judgments in the land. In so much that they themselves, at times, stand in the place before it comes, where circumstances in their lives serve as an object lesson … This is a mystery, and is similar to Ezekiel chapter 4. Where God had Ezekiel lay on his side for an appointed time, and he laid out the great siege as an object lesson before they went int Babylonian captivity. So I have those who have been walking out the things to come, in the Spirit … And they have been despised, and their lives have been making no earthly sense to those who should have discerned them, and stood by them, for some have suffered reproach; wounded by friendly fire … These are are those who have gone into the furnace, and have come out with out the smell of smoke upon their garment, their lives have been a wonder, but this is the outcome of the faithfulness of God to his people. In the worst possible circumstance they went into Hallee-igh.*

*When plots to destroy the saint, ushers them in to the presence and glory of the Fourth Man.

Now let me tell you this thing about Mordecai and Esther, for they also were the first fruits into the hub of the battle, before the rest of the Jewish nation could know the plot of Hamen; Mordecai counseled Esther to walk out the design of God, to stand in the gap and turn the plot around. From the high place (position) they could see the plot from where it came; from the secret place, they began to understand the plan of God. And they discerned their place, their destiny. Mordecai’s word to Esther: ” For this you were born.” The plot of death became their deliverance, their promotion. So is this, for those who stand upon the lonely wall; by word, by prayer, by obedience, by sacrifice; their prophetic intercession carries them through intervals of Hallee-igh.*

In the secret place Mordecai spoke the Word of the Lord to Esther the Warrior Bride, the grace full, favored one, who was made ready for Her day of destiny. So it is now; the Word of the Lord from the Prophet to the Bride, “For this you were born!” As hell itself breaths down upon them … But now, the Wall Prophets (who braced the front of the storm) are beginning to rejoice for they are seeing it … The Watchman on the wall have long warned of the PLOT, but now they are seeing the Plan of God! And it is always REDEMPTION- for the Testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of Prophesy!

So, here we are in the Secret Place. The world’s 911 is 91:1 (psalm), for the child of God. As the blood drips down the door posts, and the faithful sit and eat the feast of passover, a cry shall be heard in the Land. But he that dwells in the Secret Place of the Most High shall abide in the Shadow of the Almighty… as the enemies of God’s people, PLOT… They plot that they might be driven into the Red Sea and drowned, but instead, the Red Sea divides, and the children of the Most High, walk into the place where their enemy will be destroyed, and once again, as it has been, always; God’s people enter into the place called Halle-igh!

And in this the Saints shall rise up and do exploits, for with it comes an exodus from the house of religious bondage, and the reliance of the strength of Egypt. Our worship and service to the Lord will be surrendered to the full pattern of the tabernacle, for they that worship Him, must worship Him in spirit and in truth. And is not the contrast of the tabernacle against the wilderness so much like the days we are in? For the world has nothing for us, but death. Yet, in the midst of this death, we are in the camp of God who dwells in our midst, and is in Us! And His glory is seen by the eyes of those who are in the Spirit by the Spirit, as the cloud that leads by day, and the pillar of fire that illuminates by night. And so it is the hour where gross darkness covers the earth, and a great darkness the people, who are far off. But they will see the evidence of His favor, as it is written, “Arise and shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord is risen upon you and his glory appears over you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. Isaiah 60:1-3

* Hallee-igh- [phonetic]  When plots to destroy the saint, ushers them in to the presence and glory of the Fourth Man.

The Kavanaugh Effect

Isaiah 55:6-7 Seek the Lord while He may be found. Call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

The Kavanaugh Effect.

The Kavanaugh effect is the rising concern among professionals pursuing careers, that past behaviors will come back to haunt them, whether real or exaggerated. What does the bible tell us that we can do about our past? Join Deana today while she shares insight on the Kavanaugh effect, a warning in regard to our elections, and testimony of God’s faithfulness to His prophetic word.

 

Clearing The Debris Field

Clearing The Debris Field

It was a quiet evening at sundown as I walked around the corner of my house. When I looked up towards the western sky I was startled to see our willow tree sorely pruned. I looked at it wondering if it would ever grow back to its original stature. All of its delicate branches curled down ward were gone. Could it ever be beautiful again?  I felt a little sadness, somehow I knew it had to be this way. The tree was cleared of every pest infested, diseased, and broken branch. It was a clearing of the (would be) debris field before the storm.  Something caught my eye to the right, as the sky darkened. A movement towards me, I then realized a book was being placed before me. It was a teal colored, thin, book with a long title; embossed in gold lettering. I couldn’t make out the entire title of the book, but was able to see these words very clear as the gold lettering glowed in the twilight, the words read-

THE WINNOWED AND THE PRUNED.

Earlier that day I had literally drove past a tree much like the one I saw in this prophetic dream. It was located on the corner of Government and Sycamore. Immediately, when I saw the  tree pruned as it was, I felt the Spirit of God come over me and I knew a message would be drawn from what I seen, and one did. A recording of it can be found at Remnant Nation Radio with Newine Pouring. The Winnowed and The Pruned along with Clearing The Debris Field are two parts of a whole. One addresses Christian America, the other, all of those in Christ. To drive home the point, the city I live in had began to prune trees away from the power lines up and down the streets, they did this the entire week I was preparing to record the pod-cast. I could not help take from that, a parallel of how much our broken, pest infested, and diseased branches of government are needing this word regarding the winnowed and the pruned, in order to retain its power and influence in the earth.

Weeks later, when an ice storm rolled into the region our little community was the few that did not have power interruptions. The fact of the matter is that we will have storms, how we fare when we do depends on our preparation, and readiness to respond to the Spirit of God. God wills that NO MAN perishes, but that all come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.

Most of us understand the significance of the Sycamore tree explained very well in the book called the Harbinger by Jonathan Cahn. While we as a country have pushed upward and onward, endeavoring to rebuild where we have been broken, we have ignored the lessons of the kingdom regarding what it takes to become strong. Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up. To be God strong in America we must decrease, bow our greatness to the sovereign God in repentances, and become the people who are the winnowed, and the pruned. This in return will remove the debris field before the storm, rather than after, where time and chance takes its erratic path.

Clearing The Debris Field
