Mike Ammons, a friend of mine, just dreamed this dream…twice. He shared it with me and I helped him with the interpretation. Here’s the dream:
[saw] a camp inside a wall. On the wall were 7 men. In the center of the wall was a flame. All seven men were crouched walking as they all began to alarm the camp inside the wall. A figure walks from the flame and an arrow is shot at a pathway that is aglow and also illuminates around the wall of the camp exposing where they are.
I heard a voice say this glow will expose and direct a move. The voice continued to say that the camp will walk in power and opposition will come but there is always counterfeit to the real.
Interpretation:
The seven men on the wall represent the fulness of the church (Rev. 1:4, Rev 2-3).
The alarm signifies timing; a kairos “right now” moment is upon us.
Jesus is the center, the figure walking from the flame (Rev 2:1).
The men were walking. Jesus was walking, stepping forth. This speaks of a movement. Another great Jesus Movement is about to happen.
The arrow is fresh fire being released. Revival fire.
The path is:
This fire-shot of revival will illuminate, or bring us back to what we’re supposed to be walking in.
Thus says the LORD, “Stand by the ways and see and ask for the ancient paths, Where the good way is, and walk in it; And you will find rest for your souls.
Jer 6:16
Guys! This is an exciting prophetic dream that beautifully corresponds with biblical imagery. This thing has already been initiated in the Spirit. The fuse has been lit. The hour of revival is upon us. Are you ready for this? The street lamps along the highway of holiness are turning on. No more wandering in the deserts of confusion or the valleys of complacency. This is the hour to arise, come forth, and march with sanctified purpose and passion. -Shane
One morning I walked into my office. As I crossed the room, approaching my desk, a shattering noise grabbed my attention. I quickly turned to see a collectible bottle of soda that had just fallen off my bookshelf and shattered onto the floor. Soda from 1974 was leaking out. The bottle commemorated Secretariat, the 1973 Kentucky Derby winner. I was born in 1973 and the collectible bottle was given to me as a gift. I was sad that it had broken. However, I felt it had a prophetic significance. So, I investigated the situation a little closer. I thought I had placed the bottle in a safe spot where it wouldn’t be easily knocked over. And, sure enough, my intrigue spiked when I noticed the culprit. I had a few books on that shelf and a couple of audio teaching series. At the exact moment I was walking across the room, the books on that shelf lost their grip and started sliding. The end one was an audio teaching by Ray Hughes called The War Horse. That Warhorse had run across the shelf and it knocked off the Racehorse. The prophetic message I heard from that was: The racehorses here in horse-country Kentucky have been running well, but they’ve been running in circles and not really getting anywhere. Nevertheless, God is releasing the warhorses. God was ready to send help through a new and different way. The up-down, round and round cycles were about to be broken.
Since that time, I have had two different people give me an exactly matching collectible bottle to the one that was broken. Neither person knew the backstory. Each of these times, God has imparted a breaker anointing that releases folks from stuck cycles. These were interesting signposts that showed what God was about to do in a specific place.
I believe that God is more geographically minded than we realize. Places matter to God. So, begin to believe for regional breakthroughs. Allow your faith to call forth the mighty warhorses of God. No more running in circles. It’s time for change.
If you’re an intercessor, I believe God wants to take your faith and prayers to another level. I believe He wants to use you and your prayer connections to release and activate regional deliverance, salvation, and breakthroughs. So, arise and contend. Fresh oil is available for you.
The real prophets are now emerging. They’re coming to the forefront, the front, the platform, the microphone, and the stage. They’re coming to Carmel, and to the high places. Like Elijah and like John Baptist… they’re coming.
These are the not-for-profit prophets. These wild ones aren’t like those who are only playing the prophet with all the right, trendy catchphrases.
This sanctified brand of last days prophets don’t open their words by selling their products, or asking for support. Profit isn’t their aim. Ministry isn’t a business to them.
They don’t live for popularity. They know loneliness, and discouragement. They are sometimes misunderstood.
They are sometimes maligned. They are accused of being too much like John Baptist. But, the Lord says that’s a rightful label. However, Jesus loved John dearly and had nothing negative to say about him. Jesus also loves these firebrands that walk humbly with Him.
Their words get complaints for being too harsh, sharp.
God has baptized this new generation of prophets with His fire. They hate sin, lukewarmness, and lame religion.
A prophetic revival is upon us. Piercing words and unflinching faces will again make straight the way of the Lord.
This new breed will carry new wine with an impartation of the old wine. They will be a manifestation of the conjoined former and latter. There will be a fresh anointing on their words, ministry, and life. Yet, they will walk in a respect toward anointed voices of bygone years. Accordingly, that undead anointing they have honored will be activated in their own lives.
Watch. This is the hour. We are now witnesses to the emergence of God’s firebrands. The holiness preachers. The prophetic voices; instruments of revival.
Backsliding happens too often amongst believers. Sinning, as a result of giving in to temptation is something that all Christians might stumble into. Gradually losing that burning heart until the victor succumbs to a lukewarm existence is a sad outcome of many good people.
These are reasons that I staunchly oppose the teaching of exaggerated grace. This damnable, new era philosophy mixes Scriptures with doctrines of demons and gives folks an arrogant, deceived crutch to lean on. It justifies their weak, watered-down lifestyle.
1 Tim 4:1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons
This exaggeration of grace excuses them of feeling the need to walk in God’s power for themselves. Instead, they focus on verses about rest. So, they negate spiritual hunger and thirst. They frown on songs that uses language such as hunger, thirst, or being desperate. They’d rather rest in God.
They don’t like talking about working, running, chasing, or reaching. Rather, they have been tricked into thinking that 1) Christ did it all, thus we don’t have to do anything but rest. 2) we have all of God; He doesn’t give Himself to us in pieces. 3) the water He gives will cause us to never thirst again.
As you can see, all of these diluted points have a little bit of Scripture in them. And, many that specialize in these erroneous beliefs are fairly skilled with the Word. Hence, any disagreement with them will become a contest of tossing Scriptures back and forth at each other. Truth be known, Most of these exaggerated grace proponents have actually fallen and no longer hold to the truths they used to value and cherish. They are backslidden and have tapped into their intelligence to further deceive themselves and others. It seems we are rarely as creative as we are when we need to justify our sin or lukewarmness.
Certainly it is true that Christ won the victory at Calvary. But, don’t forget He told us to pick up the cross and follow Him. He promised that the works He did could be even greater in our lives if we get filled with the Spirit. His commission is for us to go. Christ calls us to action, not a resting vacation.
It sounds clever when folks say things like “we don’t fight for victory; we fight from victory.” But, that doesn’t really make sense, nor does it align with a full context of Scripture.
1 Corinthians 9:24 Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may win
Truth is: fighting, striving, wrestling, racing, praying, contending, fasting, and hoping are all things that the New Testament has taught us to engage in.
Rarely will you find someone involved in the exaggerated grace movement who is seeing real conversions. They don’t seem to like altar calls because they think they’re too emotional. They don’t approve of the sinners prayer. Basically, this is just another trick of the enemy to dumb down and soften the salvation experience. “Just believe” sounds good, and it even comes from pieces of Scripture. Nevertheless, it excludes other Scriptures that require something of the convicted person. And, it keeps the experience limited to an intellectual one.
Also, it isn’t easy to find a strong grace specialist who sees signs, wonders, miracles and healings.
2 Tim 3:5
holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.
Some that are involved in this move began with goodness and zeal. But, somewhere along the way, they sank down into an inferior gospel, an exaggeration of grace.
In their beginning, they had a beautiful conversion where they fell in love with Jesus. At the same time, they fell out of love with sin and the things of this world. Unfortunately, years later, they have migrated into this grace cult, and they’re not even the same person. They now practice and condone sins and habits that God had previously delivered them from.
I have kindly, privately asked some of them to stop openly being permissive toward alcohol and other sins and habits. But, they have declined my requests. Thus, they continue to empower others to live these compromised lives…in the name of grace.
It used to be that all the glory and focus went to Jesus, but this cult has put grace on the throne that Jesus alone should hold.
Jesus saves
Saved by grace
A twisting of the Scriptures has become a false gospel that has led many into deception, compromise, and lukewarmness.
Frightening lifestyle changes I have noticed coming from those in this cultish grace exaggeration include: permissible pornography, raunchy movies, they listen to more secular music than Christian music, alcohol consumption and occasional drunkenness, marijuana, cbd, thc, cussing, not tithing, not attending church.
True believers have the Holy Spirit that leads them onto the highway of holiness. Furthermore, sanctification is still a relevant, Scriptural experience.
On the other hand, those following the exaggerated grace ideologies have demons lying to them and telling them: A) that spiritual discipline is just religion B) all things are lawful and permissible to you C) nothing you take into your body is wrong D) marijuana is natural, God made it, it’s good E) Jesus drank, and wine and alcohol are ok according to the Bible.
Revival will look like John the Baptist and the axe is now being sharpened. Change is coming. We must weep for those who are deceived.
Eph 6:12a reminds us that our struggle is not against flesh and blood
These people are not our enemies. The enemy is the devils that are whispering the exaggerations of grace into their minds and into our culture.
The younger generation has something that has been lost by so many others. They have feelings. And, they’re brave enough to alert us when someone or something has wrongfully trespassed their sensitivities…or what is obviously inhumane or criminal.
They’re not always right. They’re young, immature, and inexperienced. Still, quickly dismissing them would be a naive mistake. And worse yet, distancing ourselves from them would be callous and cruel. They’re our sons and daughters, for crying out loud.
Calling them snowflakes, millennials, or other such spitefully soaked propaganda tags will only pollute our prophetic destiny. The enemy has enacted a plan, a diabolical plan to highjack an end time revival.
It seems the generation now entering adulthood has been filled with an innate gift of discernment. When sanctified, their gift could be remarkably transformative for individuals and even for entire countries.
But, if we —the older, wiser ones—allow the deceiver to continue to pit us against them with growing distrust and disdain, then we’re going to mess up what should be a double portion outpouring.
We are on the brink of a mighty move that should unite the wisdom, gifts, experience, hearts and dreams of the fathers with the revelation, gifts, zeal, hearts and visions of the sons. The Old Testament closes with this prophecy (Mal. 4:6). Joel also foretold of this momentous day (Joel 2).
So, let’s not mess it up or miss it. Let’s see through the enemy’s schemes. Let’s overcome satan’s divisive devices with the love of God propelling us toward each other… and towards the promises of God.
For now, let’s listen to them. Let’s allow our eyes to be healed of dryness. Let’s allow God to soften our aged, stubborn hearts. Let’s allow ourselves to feel again. And to be offended.
Racism, sexism, extremism, perversion, violence, and hate of any type should offend us.
For them, let’s pray they are washed in the blood of the Lamb, sanctified, and curbed from going too far in any particular emotional tangents.
Let’s pray that we can begin to run and work together. I truly believe the promise of the former and the latter are now swelling over our heads.
