Army
Rising Up?
(this
is a dream from a long-time salvationist in a western
territory)
I went to a different denomination’s
gathering... The weekend was about returning to your first
love. In one of the meetings they gave words of knowledge and
were inviting people up to the front for prayer. One of the
woman said “broken heart”. I believed this was a word for me
so I made my way up to the front for her to pray with me. When
I met her, I told her the word “broken hearted” resonated with
me and she began to pray for me and my heart. She laid hands
on me and I felt a warmth/ heat coming from her hands. Then
she abruptly stopped and said she “saw” something. She said
she saw a small boat in a great ocean and God’s hand was
steering this small toy like boat through the waters. I told
her I paint and have painted a similar image. I wondered if
the boat in her vision was red like the boat in my painting.
She said the boat was not only red but red, yellow and blue. I
laughed and she didn’t understand that this was a vision of my
ministry and that it was the Army’s colors. I had been praying
and asking God if I was to leave the Army and I understood
this to mean, I was to trust God’s hand on my ministry in The
Salvation Army. I believe I went for healing of my heart in
one way and received a healing for my heart with The Army.
When I went back to my seat the worship
began and it was the song; break every chain. The second verse
says “There is an Army rising up”. I laughed because I was
still amused by the vision the girl had for me while I was
worshiping at a different denomination. I can’t sing “there is
an Army rising up” without thinking of our Army. So I sang it
with a healed heart and the Lord gave me a vision. Every time
the verse repeated “There is an Army rising up” I saw people
in Army uniforms being filled with fresh breath from the Lord
and rising like air rising in a chest.” First I saw it in the
United States (I asked God why and believed he said, revival
begins in individuals hearts, this vision is your vision and
you are in the US) the second place I saw the same rising of
the Army but it was in Australia and then Africa, then India,
Eastern Europe and then UK.
It eventually spread throughout the whole
Army world. Not just our Army Lord but fill all your people.
Cover us all.
When I sang and each time I saw this rising
up, my heart leaped and I would get more and more excited and
was saying “Yes!!! Yes Lord!!” When I spoke this word of
agreement the vision stopped immediately and I felt like the
Lord said “there you go”. I was confused but the Lord said
“You used to pray for revival but because of your broken heart
you lost the vision. Now that I have healed your heart, I have
returned to you the desire of your heart, pray for revival
again.”
