Golden Seeds [dream] by Marjet Hoogendoorn

This time Golden Seeds about a dream I had a few days ago.
I saw an army, but not an army how you would usually see them: they were not armed to the teeth and full of tension of what is to come. The army was at rest: peace and joy ruled. When you looked at the faces, you saw a determination yet also relaxation. There was a deep joy in these people because they were part of this army, and that gave them satisfaction. There wasn’t a thing they would want more than to be part of the mission of this army.
When you would look at the people the world would definitely mark them as ‘nothing special’, but it wouldn’t insult them. They are not even concerned with that. They haven’t found their identity by the way they look, by their title or whether or not they would have a brave appearance. They know who they are and they know which place they fulfil in the army. That is what gives them peace and power. They are not aiming for the highest place, but to fulfil well the place they have been appointed to do.
If there is a mission the army starts to move. Every one of them moves in his own power, with a focus on collaboration: everyone works from his strength to serve and empower the other in their task. In this way missions are accomplished easily and effectively.
This army is the army of God. God is preparing His church for this new army for this new spiritual season. The soldiers will carry new swords, sharper than ever before. Old walls will fall, old armors will be taken off, names or denominations won’t matter much. A new church structure will arise. This army will be collaborating from a network type structure. Its mission is to see the Kingdom of light break through and occupy places of darkness out of love for God. The members of this army will not be selected by capacity, title or denomination, but by if they have written this mission in their hearts. Each one who has this mission burning in his or her heart, can join.
It is not a matter if you carry a title or even a mandate (prophet, teacher, pastor, missionary, etc). There are people in this army who have a large contribution without being visible or carry any title. There will be people who will provide in ways of transportation (for people, the Word, the prophetic), provide for equipment or buildings. There will be people who will practically establish missions, who care for the health of the army, etc. The army works in harmony.
Even though there’s no rush within the army, now is a good time to join the army. Whoever keeps doubting and gives way to his own considerations to join or not, won’t feel the wind of the Spirit to move. Leaders who are too concerned with protecting their church, organisation or status, will miss out on the network. They will become like vulnerable islands in the spiritual world. To join the army, the new network, will give strength and it helps people and organisations to a higher spiritual level with greater spiritual protection and influence. “Come, join My army and be part of the plans of Heaven for this time”, says the Lord of Heaven’s armies. “You were born for such a time as this.”
Be still…
And consider what your greatest mission is in life.
Prayer:
Father, I come before You. I want to be part of Your army. Forgive me where I have been distracted by issues that have no value. Forgive me where I have been busy with matters that have nothing to do with my place in Your kingdom. Give me clear insight in the place You have given me. Teach me by Your Spirit and surround me with the right people. Thank You, for You are the King of kings and the government is on Your shoulders forever and ever. You will always protect me. Amen.
