I am reminded of the Lord of The Rings volume: Return of The King. In this book Gandalf, previously known as Gandalf the Gray, returns from a time of great trial. All of his friends had thought he died as he confronted the monster of the pit. But he had passed through the caverns of fire and returned far stronger than ever before. No longer was he Gandalf the Gray but now he was clothed in bright white garments. There is a dramatic scene as he marshals an army to come to the aid of Helm's Deep which was besieged by a large army. As he stands he holds up his staff and begins a charge towards the enemy. When he charges down the hill, a mighty army under his command, a bright light is revealed and blinds the enemy army.
This story is an allegory of what is going on within the spirit realm at this time. God has been working on His servants. The apostles, prophets, the miracle workers of our generation have been going through their time of testing and trials so that they might be prepared for the coming war. The time of revealing is now. We have passed through the places of death and trial so that we might have authority over them. God has raised up the leaders- it is now time for us to gather the armies. It is time for us to declare our victory and speak into the atmosphere. It is a time of beginning as we step into the final season. This is the time for us to avail ourselves of the angelic armies that we have at our disposal.
Will we see things as they appear in the natural or as Heaven sees them? Will we see the opposition or the might of God that is all around us? This is the time to arise and throw off the shrouds that have kept us hidden and safe during this current season. It is time to cross over and reveal our true power to the world. It is time! It is your time!
The Lord is raising up those to ride into the most dark places of this earth. It is our job to shine God's light into those places so that we might defeat the armies of darkness. This is a time to set the captives free. Christ did not come to this earth so that we might sit around and sing Kumbaya. He came and died to defeat the power of death. It is our job, as His ambassadors, to do the same. We must lay down our lives so that His light might be revealed through us and proclaim liberty to the captives.
