“Zechariah and the Flask of Oil Filling the Lampstands with More”
On 09-05-25, during our corporate prayer watch, several people had gathered to pray. I saw in the vision, the prophet Zechariah walk into the church, and he had a big flask of oil in his hand. I saw him walk over to a lampstand in the vision and pour it into the top of the pipes in the lampstand. As he did this, I watched the lampstand grew and expanded to give off even more light. I also knew that this also meant that the expanded lampstand would not run out of the oil of God’s Presence in the harder seasons ahead of us.
The Holy Spirit is bringing the increase within the people of God and in the Places of Prayer that He has birthed so that their lights would brighten even more in their areas. I saw the many small lights (believers) and the remnant prayer groups everywhere, become very bright, and then the Holy Spirit breathed through them all and fanned them into a great corporate flame.
The people of continued prayer, and the faithful Houses of Prayer would bring forth the greatest prayer awakening that our generation has known. The Spirit of Holiness would be the flame that would transform entire regions and peoples with His Abiding Presence.
Excerpt from Bob Jones Prophecy from the 1998 Shepherd’s Rod:
THE EXTINGUISHING OF LIGHTS
Presently in the church there are many “lights” of the Spirit at work in a variety of different fashions in a diversity of circles within the church. All of these have been good and have served the purposes of the Lord. However, He is now saying that He is going to extinguish these little lights in order for a concentrated light to come forth that will shine much more brilliantly. One light with a consolidated source will shine much more brightly than that same amount of light divided into many numerous smaller lights. This will unveil the desire of the Lord for His emphasis to be placed upon the issues of paramount importance to Him.
The Lord is going to turn off the lights to the things that are not vital in order to fuel and power that which is vital. The good must make way for the best. Many “good” works that are presently in place will be discontinued to make way for the “best” purposes that the Spirit has for us in this generation. The anointing placed upon the good works will be lifted and an emphasis of the anointing placed upon the highest purposes that the Spirit has for the church.
The Lord is going to release great understanding to those willing to sit with Him in intimate relationship and learn from Him. The Lord is calling us aside even as he did His disciples to reveal to us His heart and His mind on how He would do things if He were living in the earth during this generation in human form. In essence, there will be a removal of the leaven in order to produce a more purified leadership accomplishing far more with less effort.
Having many divided works has not allowed the church to see the overall corporate vision that the Lord has for the end-time ministry. The Lord is promising that He will no longer leave His friends in the dark as to what He is doing. He will give them a “blow by blow” account of what He is doing. He will reveal what His priorities are, and the sequence in which these events shall take place.
Scriptures:
Zechariah 4:1 And the angel who talked with me came again and awakened me, like a man who is wakened out of his sleep. 2 And said to me, What do you see? I said, I see, and behold, a lampstand all of gold, with its bowl [for oil] on the top of it and its seven lamps on it, and [there are] seven pipes to each of the seven lamps which are upon the top of it. 3 And there are two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of the bowl and the other upon the left side of it [feeding it continuously with oil]. 4 So I asked the angel who talked with me, What are these, my lord? 5 Then the angel who talked with me answered me, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord. 6 Then he said to me, This [addition of the bowl to the candlestick, causing it to yield a ceaseless supply of oil from the olive trees] is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit [of Whom the oil is a symbol], says the Lord of hosts. 7 For who are you, O great mountain [of human obstacles]? Before Zerubbabel [who with Joshua had led the return of the exiles from Babylon and was undertaking the rebuilding of the temple, before him] you shall become a plain [a mere molehill]! And he shall bring forth the finishing gable stone [of the new temple] with loud shoutings of the people, crying, Grace, grace to it! 8 Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundations of this house; his hands shall also finish it. Then you shall know (recognize and understand) that the Lord of hosts has sent me [His messenger] to you. 10 Who [with reason] despises the day of small things? For these seven shall rejoice when they see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel. [These seven] are the eyes of the Lord which run to and fro throughout the whole earth. 11 Then I said to him [the angel who talked with me], What are these two olive trees on the right side of the lampstand and on the left side of it? 12 And a second time I said to him, What are these two olive branches which are beside the two golden tubes or spouts by which the golden oil is emptied out? 13 And he answered me, Do you not know what these are? And I said, No, my lord. 14 Then said he, These are the two sons of oil [Joshua the high priest and Zerubbabel the prince of Judah, the two anointed ones] who stand before the Lord of the whole earth [as His anointed instruments].
Revelations 2:1 To the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Ephesus write: These are the words of Him Who holds the seven stars [which are the messengers of the seven churches] in His right hand, Who goes about among the seven golden lampstands [which are the seven churches]:
Ephesians 6:18 Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty. To that end keep alert and watch with strong purpose and perseverance, interceding in behalf of all the saints (God’s consecrated people).
Luke 12:35 Keep your loins girded and your lamps burning, 36 And be like men who are waiting for their master to return home from the marriage feast, so that when he returns from the wedding and comes and knocks, they may open to him immediately. 37 Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are those servants whom the master finds awake and alert and watching when he comes. Truly I say to you, he will gird himself and have them recline at table and will come and serve them!
Psalms 23:4 Yes, though I walk through the [deep, sunless] valley of the shadow of death, I will fear or dread no evil, for You are with me; Your rod [to protect] and Your staff [to guide], they comfort me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my [brimming] cup runs over. 6 Surely or only goodness, mercy, and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life, and through the length of my days the house of the Lord [and His presence] shall be my dwelling place.
1 Thessalonians 5:16 Be happy [in your faith] and rejoice and be glad-hearted continually (always); 17 Be unceasing in prayer [praying perseveringly]; 18 Thank [God] in everything [no matter what the circumstances may be, be thankful and give thanks], for this is the will of God for you [who are] in Christ Jesus [the Revealer and Mediator of that will]. 19 Do not quench (suppress or subdue) the [Holy] Spirit;
Romans 1:3 [The Gospel] regarding His Son, Who as to the flesh (His human nature) was descended from David, 4 And [as to His divine nature] according to the Spirit of holiness was openly designated the Son of God in power [in a striking, triumphant and miraculous manner] by His resurrection from the dead, even Jesus Christ our Lord (the Messiah, the Anointed One). 5 It is through Him that we have received grace (God’s unmerited favor) and [our] apostleship to promote obedience to the faith and make disciples for His name’s sake among all the nations,
