Early the morning of December 31, I woke up an hour and a half before my alarm went off, and I received a powerful prophetic word from the Lord. As usual, I went to my prayer chair and began to inquire the Lord about the word he gave me which was, to pray them through.
As I was praying, the Lord placed it on my heart to pray for some people that we had done ministry with over the years who have backed up in their faith a little bit. The Lord was telling me that when I pray for them, I need to pray them all the way through. The Lord said, “Everything that you are praying for right now, pray it through. Everything I have shown you in ministry, pray it through.” This made me so excited because my favorite place to be is in prayer and the presence of God.
The Lord came upon me again and showed me that when we pray, we are building in the spirit more than we could ever imagine. The first scripture that came to my mind was Matthew 6:6. It says, “But when you pray, go into your room, close the door, and pray to your heavenly father who is in secret. And your father who sees you in secret will reward you.”
As I continued to dive deeper in the place of prayer, I closed my eyes and I had a vision of a wooden structure being built piece by piece. More structures began to rise up and every time I turned a new direction the structures were expanding and being built. The Lord was saying that as fast as I was seeing the structures being built by the spirit, is how fast things are going to move in this new season.
Right at that moment, I saw myself in a water well made of bricks. I started to pray into it more, and I saw that as I began to rise higher I noticed the water levels were rising. The interior of the well was being built as the water was rising, and as I got higher more light started to shine over the well. There was a prophetic word spoken over me that the Lord reminded me of where even though the water levels would rise, I would also rise by the spirit. That is why when I was younger, when I would leave a church, I wouldn’t worry about anything because I have that prophetic word to hold on to.
There was a church one time that decided it would be best to release my wife and me because we were fostering a move of God, but that was not the direction the church wanted to go. Instead of worrying and questioning about what was going to happen next, we prayed and listened to the Lord, and our ministry started to grow. This is why that vision was so special to me.
Our church has received words that it is going to be like a watering hole, where people are going to come and gather to get encountered by God. This comes back to the word “Pray it Through.” The Lord was showing me that there are people who used to be in our ministry that are going to come back through the spirit. Let’s make this about you. Are you going to pray it through? What prophetic words has God spoken over your life that you haven’t fully stepped into? This is the season that we are going to step into all that God has for us and pray every situation through.
