PROPHETIC WORD RECEIVED 08/10/24 - FRESH MANNA, OIL, & BURNOUT
This week I had a dream that really spoke to me. In the dream, I am trying to make bread, but as I'm rolling out the dough, I have the feeling that something is missing, and I know it wouldn't be what it was meant to be without it.
I could feel the temptation to just get it done but I knew to wait for the missing ingredient to show up at my door, and I could sense it was nearby. While I was waiting I kept adding in a teaspoon of oil at a time to the mix. The dream ended.
When I woke up, I instantly had the revelation;
1). We can't rush the new bread, the new blueprint that is still forming right now. Our posture right now has to be in rest and receiving. Getting ahead of God will only build something man-made. Wait for the full recipe.
2) We are in a season of fresh manna, but there is a temptation to mix the old with the new. We need the fresh manna not yesterday's bread that is rotten!
3). Jesus is the bread of life (John 6:35), and He wants us to focus on our relationship right now above all else; otherwise, we will stay malnourished and have nothing of substance to give away.
4). This is the season for refilling our oil lamps, and God wants us to be in a state of overflow. You can never have too much oil!
I believe that In the next 5 months, we are going to see two extremes in the body of Christ;
-An emerging of people carrying fresh revelation, strategy, and the fresh manna of heaven that will lead us into days of great foresight and intercepting the enemy's plans.
-The mass burnout of those who have not sat at his feet in 2024/ascended the hill of the Lord, or filled their oil lamps. Instead, they have stayed in hustle mode and are rushing ahead with old manna.
Please let this be a reminder to make your focus all about Jesus and filling up your oil so you can run in HIS STRENGTH in the days to come! The manna will come. The directions will come. The dots will connect. Your steps will be sure. Just lean into His presence!
So let me pray for you;
Lord, there are so many who feel the tension of this moment where there is so much swirling around them in the world and personally, and it can be overwhelming. Many are wrestling with putting out fires or sitting at your feet, rushing ahead or waiting, and they need your peace and rest to make sure they aren't out of step with you. So Lord, I am praying that you would STILL THE STORMS of thought and anxiety trying to cause them to move in their strength this week and the months ahead so they don't create Ishmaels or burn out in the process. Sync them with your heart afresh, and as they read this, I pray for the peace and SHALOM of heaven to invade every situation they are facing and bring them back to receive mode with you again in Jesus name. We thank you in advance for the fresh blueprints and instructions.
"I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world." —John 6:48-51
