Whirlwind

Two weeks ago, while praying with several friends about a ministry we know the Lord is about to birth, I found myself prophesying the following:
Ezekiel 37:9 - "Thus says the Lord God, 'Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they come to life.'"

I immediately saw a whirlwind in the atmosphere above our church, and I knew that the four winds of the Spirit had come together to form it. A "whirlwind" is defined by Webster's Dictionary as "a small rotating windstorm marked by an inward and upward spiral motion of the lower air and usually a progressive motion at all levels". A whirlwind is typified by a "rising up" and a forward motion, in addition to speed and force.

Today, as I was praying for a new business endeavor the Lord has birthed, I once more found myself prophesying, "Thus says the Lord God, 'Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they come to life.'" I feel the Lord is indicating a work of the Spirit in this hour with regard to the new place He is wishing to take each of us.

Chuck Pierce, in his most recent word entitled "Cut Ties, Cut Losses, and Position Yourself for the Wind of the Future", says the following: "You must bring forth the wind and create the road so you will end up where I have called you to be - new businesses, new alignments, new assignments.......The intensity that is behind the word is pushing you forward at speeds and levels that we know not of...." Sounds like a whirlwind, doesn't it?

Nugget of Gold: Prophesy over the new ministry, assignment, or business that the Lord has put on your heart. He has already birthed it in the Spirit and now is the time for it to manifest in your life. Prophesy over it! Call for the four winds of the Spirit to come and bring breath to it! As you do, you will begin to see "sinews and flesh" come to your business or ministry as it forms in this natural realm. ACT NOW by faith!
