Prophetic
Vision: Are You With Me?
Spring,
2006 – Cindy deVille |
I saw a Great and Mighty Warrior,
He was very big and tall, and fully dressed and ready
for battle. I didn’t see His face as I was standing
slightly behind Him and off to His right. He was looking
with anticipation at a great land that stood before
Him and His people.
This Warrior was God.
He was ready to lead and take His people into
the Promised Land.
He told me that everything He had promised
His people was standing before them and that He longed
to fulfill every plan, every dream, every promise that
HE had placed in their hearts, beyond what they even
imagined. It was as though He couldn’t wait to
show them all He had in store. There was a great zeal
that seemed to consume Him and radiate from Him.
He then turned His head and looked
over His shoulder to His people and said:
“ARE YOU WITH ME?”
He was fully set to move quickly forward...but
then, for a moment it was as though my eyes and my heart
became His, and I saw what He saw and felt what He felt.
It was heart breaking and almost unbelievable. It’s
as though God was saying:
“Cindy, Look what they
are doing.”
Instead of His people standing with
Him ready to go forward, they all had their backs turned
to Him. They were about 10 feet away, and all crouched
down towards the ground. Each person had their arms
wrapped around something, holding it close and affectionately,
as if they loved it.
At first I couldn’t tell what
they were embracing, but God allowed me to see that
they were "idols" – other lovers, sins,
things of this world they loved more than God: wealth,
status, pleasures, possessions, fame, success, the praise
of man, the things of the world and of the flesh. They
had turned away from their first love and were embracing
idols.
I felt God’s heart as I looked
and I find it difficult to express the emotion and almost
brokenness and disappointment. Perhaps you could compare
it to a husband who loves His wife deeply and has laid
down His whole life for her, only to have her turn her
back on Him to chase after many other lovers.
2009 Note: I believe God has
begun working in His church, dealing with the idols,
and showing us the error of our ways. God wants our
hearts and our affections set on Him and not the things
of this world. |
