PROPHETIC WORDS
RESTORATION OF BROTHERHOOD, LOVE AND UNITY

The Dream
I was flying over New Zealand, Australia and the great South Pacific and I saw heaps of soldiers standing. Each one was holding a sword in their hands, but they did not have any eyes or ears.
There were patches of soldiers that had eyes and ears, they were more like snipers, and they were shooting down the enemy that was trying to attack the other soldiers.
The snipers were calling out to the soldiers for them to stop swinging their swords as they were cutting down and injuring one another, but as the soldiers did not have any ears, they couldn’t hear the snipers.
Then I saw a gigantic angel descending from the heavens holding a massive shofar, landing with one foot on the land of Australia and the other foot on the land of New Zealand. Then the angel lifted the shofar and blew it. An enormous shock wave shook the ground on both lands and beyond.
The shock wave was so strong that it woke me and I could physically feel the tremors in my body, but I stayed in the vision.
As the wave spread, the sniper’s mouths started to grow larger than before, and words were coming out of their mouths creating a new thing.
As the words developed substance they began to hit the other soldiers, causing their ears and eyes to grow. They started to see what they had done to one another and they put down their swords, allowing new limbs to grow where they had been cut off, and wounds began to heal.
A new restoration of brotherhood, love and unity was created.
Interpretation and Application
As I have been thinking and praying about the meaning of the dream, I sense an urgency from God to do something. To call up my fellow believers into LOVE and challenge ourselves to start to speak life and love over one another.
Jesus says, ”Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.” John 13:35 (NLT)
I believe God is calling us into action in this season and to prophecy a new alignment where there has been strife and quarrelling amongst fellow believers.
As we are the mouthpiece of God I feel God is calling us to speak and declare love and joy over the masses and for us to prophecy and command us to have ears to hear what the Lord wants to say in this season.
The joy of the Lord is our greatest weapon. The key to love and warfare is found in the Joy of the Lord, as that is where our strength is found. (Nehemiah 8:10)
I believe that every person has been given a sword (our mouths) and that sword needs to be handled carefully.
“The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.” Proverbs 18:21 (NLT)
I feel for us to prophecy over every wounded solder that has lost their limbs, or been wounded by the careless swinging of a soldier’s sword, to be healed and as Ezekiel spoke to the dry bones in the valley, so should we speak to the limbs to grow out and be complete again. (Ezekiel 37)
As I have been praying and asking for wisdom regarding the angel of the Lord having one foot on the land Australia and the other foot on the land of New Zealand I sense God is saying that He wants to build a new interconnection between both lands. I feel new connections linking both countries together will happen in this season. God is working in the same way in Australia as He is in New Zealand. We are Australasia, we fought together in the war and developed ANZAC in the past. I feel that God is awakening the ANZAC spirit to rise and once more for us to fight together as one. I feel that God is calling each believer up into prayer and to speak life. For us to start declaring over both our governments and land wisdom and life in this season. It is time for us to take our rightful place; they will know that we are Christians by our love. For us to humble ourselves and wield the sword (our tongue) in the right way so that we speak life and wisdom over our government and land.
“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Saviour.” (2 Tim 2:1-3)
“Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.” (Rom 13:1)
I feel that God is challenging us to:
Choose to see though lenses of Love when we look at one another.
Speak life and declare love over one another.
Remove preconceived ideas of one another.
Calling one another to a standard of love.
To have a heart to understand one another which overrides our own need to be understood.
To walk in humility shoulder to shoulder with one another.
