LET YOUR LAMPS BE FILLED WITH OIL

During our recent prophetic conference in Nelspruit, South Africa, we had a visual prophetic message of the oil lamps of the five wise and five foolish virgins (Matt.25). It was noticeable how some of the flames were periodically blown out by the wind and had to be refilled with fresh oil and relit. Winds of adversity are going to blow stronger and we will have to tend our lamps continuously in order to keep shining brightly into the darkness around us.

This is a time frame in which those who belong to the Bride of Christ will find themselves being separated more and more unto Him – from everything that can contaminate or distract their attention from the Bridegroom, causing their light to go out. A fine-tuning and refining process is going on by which the flame of His fiery Love will burn away the dross until His image can clearly be seen in us, His voice be heard through ours and His touch be felt in a glorious love outpouring. Our lamps will constantly be filled with the fresh oil of His anointing as we spend time with Him, ablaze with His love and glory.

We need to be continuously filled with fresh in-breathings of the Holy Spirit. This happens when we are continuously tuned to Him, making time to listen for His whispers – the wicks of our lamps trimmed, soaked in the oil of His Presence.

Ephesians 5:18-20Amplified Bible (AMP)

18 “And do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but ever be filled and stimulated with the [Holy] Spirit.19 Speak out to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, offering praise with voices and instruments] and making melody with all your heart to the Lord, 20 At all times and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father.”

ROAD SIGNS
During the Festival of the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles, it is a time in which we need to be paying close attention to road markers on the way and more closely heed the whispers of the Holy Spirit to obey instantly, even to change course at a moment’s notice. This will cause us to come out of our comfort zones, giving up our personal preferences and pre-arranged plans, for our lives are not our own.
I sense that some will even be geogaphically re-located by the Holy Spirit’s instructions. Many will experience transportations, bilocations, as well as translations into heavenly places where much revelation is to be released.

INCREASE IN PROPHETIC REVELATION
There will also be a marked increase of prophetic dreams and visions, containing important revelation, guidelines and instructions (not only for personal guidance, but for specific people as well as for the body of Christ at large) to be acted out without delay. The more we take heed to these instructions, the more will be entrusted to us.

I also sense that the prophetic arts will flourish in greater creativity! New sounds are to be released in worship, more spontaneous dances will come forth and a general boldness in expression of the Bride’s love for her Bridegroom is going to burst forth in great passion in the fine arts.

Walking in the miraculous and supernatural favor of God under an open heaven will become the norm for those who walk closely with Him.

FEED AND TEND MY SHEEP.
For those in ministry the instruction is clearly, “Feed and tend My sheep”, as we reach out to people with the love-heart of the great Shepherd of our souls.

COME AWAY FOR PRAYER & WORSHIP

It is time to pray, time to call out for His grace over our families and over the nations (especially Israel) and time to worship Him in total union in order to hear His heart for every person and situation and country and then to declare it, fully persuaded that He will do what He says.

“Come away, My beloved. Come away into intimate communion-union with Me, your Creator, to be empowered with fresh fire, fresh vision and fresh instruction to pour out My glory everywhere you go – through the highways and byways, the train stations and travel routes, through the streets and shops. Wherever you may find yourself, be watchful and alert for the divine appointments I have pre-arranged for you, with My Word in your mouth to uplift the weary soul, to speak destiny into people’s lives and to be My vessel of glory to be poured out, for the Kingdom of God is at hand.”

Revelation 19:7 King James Bible
“Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready.”

If you have tasted of God’s glorious Love for His children, for the world, for sinners, for the lost and hurting, for backsliders and those who have grown cold, you will not be able to withhold yourself from being a co-laborer with Him in the end-time harvest! The passion of His love will burn in you for souls!

Blessings of His Grace and peace to each of you
