The Saints and the Seeds of Restraint Vision- 04-20-16
During
the prayer watch at church, I saw a vision. In the vision, I was standing with
the Lord and we were looking at the earth, and I saw massive movement across
the nations. As I looked even more intently, I could see the movement was the
saints. The saints were all running around and they were scattering seeds of
light everywhere into the earth. I wondered what they were scattering. The Lord
just smiled and nodded, so I continued to watch.
As
the saints dropped these seeds of light, the ground would immediately open up
to receive them, and when the ground received them, everything below that was
of the darkness would immediately be expelled up to the surface. This caused massive
upheavals and chaos within people as the darkness was not only being uprooted
but I watched as it was also being destroyed. This sowing of the seeds of light
also brought a release of light, freedom, and deep health, wherever the saints
would cast them.
The
Lord then turned to me and said, “The seeds you see the saints sowing are
called “Seeds of Restraint.” My people have the authority upon the earth, but
not many use their authority wisely. There is a time to act and there is a time
to rest. This is not a time to remain complacent in your generation. This is a
time to act, to rise up, and to restrain all of the works of the devil that
have been entrenched in the earth. It is a time to speak destruction into all
that wreaks havoc in the lives of people. You, My Church, are My restraining
force in the earth, for My Spirit dwells in you. I sent My Spirit to dwell
within you, and to teach you how to rule and reign in the earth, but not many
are ruling and reigning well. Most of My People are struggling, worn out, and
are having little effect, because they are not fully restraining the works of
the darkness. I desire that you all rule well, that you reign well, and that
you restrain well.”
“It
is time to restrain and to destroy the works of darkness in your day. You shall
decide the future, by how much of My daily instructions that you obey. I am
here to teach you higher and more effective ways. My Word is Light and it is a
Seed. As you speak forth My Words in faith, you are also releasing My Light,
which sows My Righteousness deep into the earth, which restrains and breaks the
powers of darkness that are operating unchecked in the earth. My Church is a
powerful force in the earth, but if she doesn’t see herself as that powerful
Spiritual Force, then she will not rise up to release My restraining authority
into situations. It is time to see the greater weapons that I am giving you
understanding of, so that you can redeem the time that you have in this Season.
You have all authority in the earth, for I gave it to you, but you must use it,
and sow in into the earth, to see life and righteousness give birth.”
The
Seeds of Righteousness:
Romans
1:17 For in the Gospel a righteousness
which God ascribes is revealed, both springing
from faith and leading to faith [disclosed through the way of faith that
arouses to more faith]. As it is written, The man who through faith is just and upright shall live and
shall live by faith.
Isaiah
45:8 Let fall in showers, you heavens, from above, and let the
skies rain down righteousness
[the pure, spiritual, heaven-born possibilities that have their foundation in
the holy being of God]; let the earth open, and let them [skies and earth]
sprout forth salvation, and let righteousness
germinate and spring up [as plants do] together; I the Lord have created it.
Luke
8:11 Now the meaning of the parable is this: The seed is the Word of God. 15 But as for that [seed] in the good soil, these are [the people] who, hearing the Word, hold it fast in a just (noble,
virtuous) and worthy heart, and steadily bring forth fruit with patience.
1
Peter 1:23 You have been regenerated (born again),
not from a mortal origin (seed,
sperm), but from one that is immortal by the ever living and lasting Word
of God.
Restraints operations:
Isaiah 23:9 The Lord of hosts has purposed it [in
accordance with a fixed principle of His government], to defile the pride of
all glory and to bring into dishonor and
contempt all the honored of the earth. 10 Overflow
your land like [the overflow of] the Nile River, O Daughter of Tarshish;
there is no girdle of restraint [on you] any more [to make you pay tribute or
customs or duties to Tyre]. 11 He
stretched out His hand over the sea, He shook the kingdoms; the Lord has given
a command concerning Canaan to destroy her strongholds and fortresses [Tyre, Sidon, etc.].
1 Samuel 3:12 On that day I will perform against Eli
all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end. 13 And I [now] announce to him that I will
judge and punish his house
forever for the iniquity of which he knew, for his sons were bringing a curse
upon themselves [blaspheming God], and he did not restrain them. 14 Therefore I have sworn to the house of
Eli that the iniquity of Eli’s house shall not be atoned for or purged with sacrifice or offering
forever.
Proverbs 29:18 Where there is no
vision [no redemptive revelation of God], the people perish; but he who
keeps the law [of God, which includes that of man]—blessed (happy, fortunate,
and enviable) is he.
The Identity of the
Restrainers:
Genesis 1:1 In the
beginning God (prepared, formed, fashioned, and) created the heavens and the
earth. 2 The earth was without
form and an empty waste, and darkness was upon the face of the very great deep.
The Spirit of God was moving (hovering, brooding) over the face of the
waters. 3 And
God said, Let there be light; and there was light. 4 And God saw that the light was good
(suitable, pleasant) and He
approved it; and God separated the light from the darkness.
Isaiah 51:14 The captive exile and he who is bent down by chains
shall speedily be released; and he shall not die and go down to the pit of
destruction, nor shall his food fail. 15 For I
am the Lord your God, Who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar and Who by rebuke restrains it—the
Lord of hosts is His name. 16 And I
have put My words in your mouth and have covered you with the shadow of My
hand, that I may fix the [new] heavens as a tabernacle and lay the foundations
of a [new] earth and say to Zion, You are My people.
1 John 3:8 The reason
the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and
dissolve) the works the devil [has done].
Matthew 28:17 And when they saw Him, they fell down
and worshiped Him; but some doubted. 18 Jesus
approached and, breaking the silence, said to them, All authority (all power of
rule) in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. 19 Go then and make disciples of all the
nations, baptizing them into the name of the
Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
Luke 10:19 Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents
and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the
power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.
2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of lawlessness (that
hidden principle of rebellion against constituted authority) is already at work
in the world, [but it is] restrained only until he who restrains is taken
out of the way.
If we give up, or
spiritually lay down, or are unfaithful, the works of darkness will continue to
be free to destroy and to increase. We are the restrainers, and we are the
deliverers who will bring many people and nations into Gods full release. We
will not be removed or taken out of the way, but it is the darkness and its
evil works that will be taken out of our way! It is Harvest time, and a great global Harvest of Righteous is about to come forth!
