Two Great Wings

After returning from living in Jerusalem for six months in 1997 I was given a vivid prophetic dream by the Lord. At that time we were wondering which local church God wanted us to be a part of in the city of Perth as we had met and married in a different location. In the dream I knew that I must choose to go into the wilderness rather than be a part of the church He showed me in the dream.

I stood alone out of view of the crowd. I looked to my left and as far as I could see were dunes covered with salt bush–wilderness…to my right was the curved earthen natural amphitheatre filled with people hanging on the pastors every word.

I knew in my dream I had to choose one direction or the other. I knew I had to choose the wilderness path…but I wondered if I would survive out there.

You can read the full dream here.
The point is that I have noticed over the years that many brothers and sisters have also been called out of church into their own wilderness where the Lord has sustained them and taught them. In fact I believe there is a whole company of such people – called out – in the wilderness – for a purpose in God.
Revelation 12:6
Then the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days.
There is a place prepared by Father for Jesus’ bride. In that place she shall be fed through the prophetic flow of Jesus-words from Him within that wilderness company. (Rev 11:3)
The long years of being outside the camp –the purpose for which has been hidden from most — shall be revealed at last. When it seemed that God had all but cut off these ones from Himself they shall  be caused to stand for His Bride in her hour of great travail and trouble.
Those ones in the wilderness have thought they were a dry tree….But God shall cause the dry tree to flourish!! Ez 17:24
Also those dry trees —(which were in actuality not dry at all) have a part to play in God’s house of prayer for all nations! These are the “THEY SHALL FEED THEM THERE” company…

Isaiah 56:1 Thus says the Lord:

“Keep justice, and do righteousness,
For My salvation is about to come,
And My righteousness to be revealed.

Declare and Walk in symmorphic union with Me through the doing of faith.

2 Blessed is the man who does this,
And the son of man who lays hold on it;
Who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And keeps his hand from doing any evil.”

The man who walks in this UNION WITH JESUS AND FATHER…who does not defile this REST OF UNION by HIS OWN SUFFICIENCY/DOINGS.

3 Do not let the son of the foreigner
Who has joined himself to the Lord
Speak, saying,
“The Lord has utterly separated me from His people”;
Nor let the eunuch say,
“Here I am, a dry tree.”

You are joined as ONE with Father inside Jesus–you are NOT A DRY TREE at all..but flow inside of rivers of living water from Jesus in your heart.

4 For thus says the Lord:
“To the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths,
And choose what pleases Me,
And hold fast My covenant,

Yes!! Those who DESIRE HIM ALONE..To be in union with Jesus alone…who hold fast to the NEW COVENANT UNION INSIDE JESUS.

5 Even to them I will give in My house
And within My walls a place and a name
Better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name
That shall not be cut off.

A place I have prepared for you…in ME!! A new name!!

6 “Also the sons of the foreigner
Who join themselves to the Lord, to serve Him,
And to love the name of the Lord, to be His servants—
Everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath,
And holds fast My covenant—

Everyone who walks in this REST OF UNION WITH JESUS CHRIST and not in the power of their own hands…

7 Even them I will bring to My holy mountain,
And make them joyful in My house of prayer.
Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices
Will be accepted on My altar;
For My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.”
8 The Lord God, who gathers the outcasts of Israel, says,
“Yet I will gather to him
Others besides those who are gathered to him.”

Great pressure comes upon His people to help them give birth to a son. The trouble is many want to give birth to their own creation, through their own strength and not the son of God dwelling inside their heart. So God shall see to it that their own strength is shattered, broken, dashed, beaten in pieces even pulverised!
Such is the meaning of the Hebrew word nâphats in Daniel 12:7.
Daniel wrote that for a time, times, and half a time, such pressure would continue UNTIL HE ACCOMPLISHED TO SCATTER..to pulverise, to break in pieces the power of the holy people.
SHATTER THE POWER? WHAT POWER?
It is the Hebrew word  H5310 יד
1. hand
a. hand (of man)
b. strength, power (fig.)
THE HAND OF MAN is what needs shattering – our own self sufficiency.

 Dan 12:7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power(H3027) of the holy people has been completely shattered/H5310, all these things shall be finished.

This is what He is doing in all those He has set aside already….and what He will yet do in those who are still going on in their own “power” – which is delusion really.

I spoke a message into my microphone and Google typed it out the other day… In that message I said:
“Our hearts need nurturing. Our hearts so much need the love of the Lord personally from him within ourself. Our hearts need tenderizing not pulverizing from those who would give us knowledge, and even within ourself, there’s a temptation because knowledge is abounding and increasing to go that way, and to increase our store of knowledge in all kinds of things and to neglect the heart and so men’s Hearts fail them in the these days for fear. Yes because they do not know the Lord.. that the knowledge of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom… the knowledge of the Lord… and because men are bereft of the knowledge of the Lord, because people do not know the love of God the Father Who carries them. who lives inside of them. who Bears them up from conception. who loves them intimately… because we don’t know him and we lean on knowledge our hearts fail us.”
When He gave me that word He quickened to me a verse in Daniel 12. And now I find Him speaking more clearly from it and Rev 12. Yet I know it is also connected with Romans 8 and the birthing of the sons of God. (It is also why NASA is talking about aliens a lot lately! They lose. Jesus wins.)
I did not realise that I spoke of NURTURING OUR HEARTS –which is what “THEY shall feed them there” Rev 12:6  is….and it is a TENDERISING of the heart….not a pulverising…which is what Daniel 12:7 speaks of when it says ‘scatter the power of the holy people’. To soften the heart of the people who walk in their own power they must come to the place of NO VICTORY THROUGH THEIR OWN STRENGTH. We must have no sufficiency in ourselves for anything.
This is what THEY shall feed them to tenderise their hearts –JESUS AS HE REALLY IS!!
This is what they shall feed them in that place prepared by God for them — FATHER AS HE REALLY IS!!

1 Cor 2:9 But as it is written:

“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

God has PREPARED FOR EVERY EVENTUALITY ….(Spoiler alert!! if you have not seen the Hobbit- this is a clip from the near the end)

When all our strength is exhausted and we cannot help ourselves – TWO GREAT WINGS ARE GIVEN US TO LIFT US UP INTO WHERE WE DWELL – INSIDE OF JESUS INSIDE OF FATHER.
