Cities of God

I can at times, see in the spiritual realm.

For a year or so I saw chariots pretty frequently. What does that mean? It means I would be sitting on my porch and see spiritual chariots ‘driving’ down the street. One time when I was driving in the late evening on the highway, there were so many of them, I actually braked to avoid hitting one! Its appearance was sudden and it seemed to come from nowhere.

They were chariots like the ones used in the Ben Hur movie and some would be driven by angels and some empty. They had fierce, strong horses pulling them at speeds that overtook every car, probably traveling in excess of the highway limit! I did not understand it at all, it just seemed random.

But a few months ago I felt I had some insight into the reason for the chariots…

I felt that God was saying He was looking for leaders, a people that could run with the horses.

The scripture in Jeremiah 12:5 came to mind, “If you have run with footmen and they have tired you out, then how can you compete with horses?” The sense I had was that God is raising up a new generation of leaders who had the drive and determination to stay the pace, to carry what has been passed on, and take it farther than we can imagine.

But these last few months I have ‘seen’ something entirely new to me, it’s difficult to explain. I have been in a large room and saw a city being built. It has roads, buildings, and infrastructure and it was filling the room.

At the same time, every piece of furniture there was a city being built on it! Again with roads, buildings, and infrastructure. The buildings were intriguing. They are almost medieval and high tech at the same time. They tower higher than any building built on earth and glisten, making a melody together. The builders are angelic, meticulous in placing the city pieces together. It looks a little chaotic but is perfectly beautiful in its design and placement. It was strange.

From what I saw, I began to sense that God is preparing His church for a new thing.

It will be a mixture of old and new, taking the best of what He has been doing through His church over the last years and blending it with what is emerging. There is a significant repositioning of leaders and people around the world. God is moving them from previous positions and postures and positioning them to govern territory.

It feels like a tectonic shift in the spiritual realm and I bet a LOT of people are feeling the unsettling nature of the shift and are not totally aware of what is really happening.

During times of great repositioning remember that the enemy will not be any more creative in his attacks against you. If your marriage is always what he goes after, guess what, this is probably where you will feel the sensitivity of this shifting going on. If it is your finances that he always goes after, same thing.

Just remember, God will not let you be put under anything you can’t handle and if it isn’t good, it isn't the end! I hope what I saw encourages you.
