Prepare the Way

Re-ignite the flames in the watchtowers, plant torches along the path. They will walk in the Spirit and walk in their inheritance, the children of God, His princes and princesses. I see them mounting up on their horses, horses clothed in royal colours with royal emblems, battle ready. they ride out through the gates. They have been sent with a purpose, equipped, fully dressed with sharp weapons that reflect his glory. No-one can stop them. the Father's royal banner is over them. his love moves in them, through them, with them, around them. release the eagles. the holy Spirit causes a wind to lift the eagles higher. They are above us but we can see through their eyes. Prepare the way of the Lord. every now and then the royal riders take a banner and plant it along the road. A torch that is with each banner ignites into flame. Looking out from a watchtower I see a road appearing as banners and torches are planted lighting up a way through the darkness to the city gates. Royal riders have gone out from every side through their gates to light up the way to the city. The time of fulfilment draws near, a road in the desert on which the righteous shall walk. Yes, here they come from all sides, first in small groups then further back a multitude. Our hearts are broken as we look out, our hearts are one with His heart. Look at them Lord, they are weeping, lost and broken, the open wounds of battle are still on them. A great cry goes out for they are hungry and thirsty. They have come to finish the work, the restoration of the city walls. How awesome is your love for these people Father. We stand here with our hearts burning with the passion of His heartbeat. His pulse is like rings of fire proceeding from the throne in the city centre. Waves of love, huge indescribable waves of jealous love for His people. O Lord, You have held back your wrath and poured out mercy apon mercy for this day so that these people may be restored and take their rightful place amongst us. You show me that in just a little while they will stand here on the wall, a mighty army. Amongst them, men of great stature and valor. If you see them coming through the gate you could never imagine that these broken ones are the same warriors who will stand in that battle as heroes, princes of valor. It is the Father's pleasure to establish them in this way for he is the source of Life. Open the gates with joy and singing, the King Himself goes out to greet them.
He runs out and embraces them, once you were lost but now you are found

  1. Good word Brian, how important it is to know that when the Kingdom advances there is a battle going on in the heavenly realm and that we must always be battle ready... and that ultimately love conquers all!
