How God is using President Obama
What I am witnessing this year, in 2009 and 2010, is movement within God's people (finally!). As a political intercessor, I see the Lord using the political situation to stir up the people. No, they are not out in the streets praying for each other as they should be, but they are finally coming out of their houses, gathering together, and mobilizing.
The American people may be divided by denomination, but they are unified in their love for Country.
Historically, the church and conservatives in general have always been passive. They don't defend themselves, speak out, or participate in grassroots politics. That is why we have come to the point that the belief systems of such a small minority of our population have inundated our schools, our courts, and our government.
It took the current state our government, and their attitude that they can do whatever they want, to bring the conservatives to such a passion that they can no longer sit still and complain from the pews. They have MOBILIZED.
I see how God has used President Obama and his empowerment of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to legislate. God's hand was on it. He has used the situation to finally get His people moving. He knew what would finally get us mad enough to start activating our power. Rather than a street 'revival' which we pray for, it turned into a 'Tea Party'.
In the long run, I believe this political movement will turn into much more of Gods work.
He just had to do something to get the people 'activated'. They are not out on the streets prophesying and healing, but at least they are on the streets, standing up for the freedom and values God gave them, and speaking His name!
I received a vision, or encounter in the heavenly realms, in 2006 that exemplifies the past and current need for God's people to 'activate'.
A Word for the Church - Robin Rowan 2007 -
I was taken up into the heavens. I had left my body but I was aware at all times of what was going on around me. I focused my attention on what was before me and was seeking, thanking and praising Jesus in my spirit. Everything was dark gray. I thought maybe I was in space. I realized I was suspended just over the earth in the heavenly realms.
I saw a front coming, a storm front that stretched as far as I could see with dark swirling clouds. The tips and top of the cloud front was white and there was a lot of turbulent activity underneath. I saw no lightening and no rain, just a thick layer of these turbulent clouds.
Suddenly at the top of the cloud front appeared these huge warrior angels. They lined up along the edge like they were taking position to go into battle. The appearance of their size and strength was intimidating. I tucked myself a little further under the cloud edge so they wouldn't see me but I got in a position where I could see what they were doing.
They had large breastplates, bows and arrows slunk across their back and massive wings. They had very roman-like strong square faces and were very intense in their mission. There was a sense that they were on assignment and were ready to advance. They were looking down at the people of the earth. They looked for a few minutes and spoke to each other. There seemed to be hesitancy about them.
Behind them came a large warrior angel on horseback. He was a “General” angel, having authority over the others. He was on an enormous white horse with a flowing mane. I reminded me of the horse in Revelation.
The ‘General’ called out to the warrior angels perched on the edge of the clouds, “Why aren’t you going? Why do you not descend? You have your assignment!”
One warrior spoke up and said “They are not ready!” pointing down to the people.
I looked down and the earth was not far away, like a view from the airplane. People were going about their business, very slowly, many sitting a home. There were pockets and pinpoints of bright light coming up from some areas. Africa had a lot of these ‘spotlights’ shining up. Across America there were many little pinpoints of light, but no large concentrations, except some concentration in what looked like Northern California and the Northwest area. It saddened me to see so much darkness on the earth and such little light being given.
The General said “what do you mean they aren’t ready? They have been given what they need, they have been given the gifts, the prophets have been told and they are hearing the prophets, the revelation of the Word has been released!”
The warrior said “They aren’t moving!”
The General waved his arm and the horse reared back and all the warrior angels reached back for their arrows and put then in the bows. The arrows I noticed were not long, but medium in length, about 3 feet long. They pulled back the bows and started firing down onto the people.
These were the arrows of URGENCY. When these arrows struck they did not hurt or penetrate, but pricked the person and then fell away. When a person was pricked by one of these arrows they suddenly changed their stance. They stopped what they were doing and seemed to become more aware of others around them. Their step quickened and they changed their direction and refocused onto the Kingdom. I saw people come out of their concentration on their tasks at hand, look around and start laying hands on strangers around them, praying for them and ministering.
As I watched this it reminded me of our responsibility in the Kingdom. When a prophetic word is given to us over our life, so many people sit back and say “I wonder when my prophetic word is going to come true”, “So and so spoke a healing ministry over me, I am waiting for it to happen and telling all my friends”. Some say they have had many prophetic words spoken over them over the years, and they just sit around waiting for it to happen like it’s going to fall out of the sky! We have a responsibility to activate it. If you don’t go out and pray for people in Walmart or on the street and step out in it, it will never come to pass. You have to activate it.
I realized what I was witnessing in the heavenly realm was the same but on a corporate level. Everyone had heard this great move of God was coming and they knew they were in the End Times but they were sitting around waiting for it to happen. You can’t sit in front of your TV every night and go to bed wondering “when is the move of God going to start?”
It has to be activated on a corporate level by individual actions! We have the responsibility to bring it in!
Lord Jesus told us what to do. He gave us clear instructions. We must reach out daily individually to fulfill our commission and snap out of our ordinary lives.
We have been given Urgency from the heavenly realms…. now it is time for ACTIVATION ACTIVATION ACTIVATION ACTIVATION
"The Kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who arranged a marriage for his son, and sent out his servants to call those who were invited to the wedding; and they were not willing to come. Again, he sent out other servants, saying, 'Tell those who are invited, "See, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and fatted cattle are killed, and all things are ready. Come to the wedding." ' But they made light of it and went about their ways, one to his own farm, another to his business. And the rest seized his servants, treated them spitefully, and killed them. But when the king heard about it, he was furious. And he sent out his armies, destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city.
Then he said to his servants, 'The wedding is ready, but those who were invited are not worthy. Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.' So the servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man who did not have on a wedding garment. So he said to him, 'Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?' And he was speechless. Then the king said to his servants, 'Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him out into outer darkness, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
"For many are called, but few are chosen."
Matthew 22: 2-14 nkj
The Father is inviting us to the wedding of His Son to the bride (the church).
I am one He can pull off the street to attend the wedding.
I will prepared properly and put on my wedding clothes.
I will gratefully attend.
How about you?
It's time to snap out of our ordinary lives and get busy! To be here in such a time as this, with a hunger in our hearts, we have been chosen!
(This open vision was received by Robin Rowan on Tuesday Sept. 19th, 2006 in Foley, Alabama at a White Dove Ministries meeting with Shawn Boltz)
