Vision by Maurice Sklar

Dear Friends,

On this past Monday evening, I was listening to Rick Taylor preaching at the Healing Rooms.  Suddenly, I had a vision.  I saw us all pressing in with all our might in the Spirit in spiritual warfare.  We had our full armor on. Our shields of faith were flush together over our heads like a regiment of roman soldiers in formation. They were together so tight that it looked like one massive shield in front of us and over our heads like a wall of fire. Our swords were drawn and out in front of us. We were not many, but we were mighty before the enemy. We were gaining ground inch by inch. Satan was hitting us with all he had. His greatest principalities were hitting us. Arrows with flaming heads were raining down upon us like rain. I could not even see the air or sky...just what looked like millions of arrows. The closest thing I could relate it to was the siege of Minas Tirith in Tolkien's Return of the King movie.  The LORD spoke to me saying, for the past three weeks, there has been an all out attack against the leaders here, as well as all of those in the earth who are contending for the great end time revival/awakening that is coming.

The LORD said, "LOOK UP!!" So I looked up. Then, it seemed like I zoomed outward and I saw a band of darkness around the earth. Under it, looked like "all hell" was breaking loose, literally. Demonic assaults were raining down on all nations. But, I noticed that some nations had less oppression than others. Some looked like black holes, there were so dark. Others had points of light and fires shooting upwards. Then, I watched as I seemed to zoom in again to our ministry here in California. A column of what looked like liquid fire just shot up from us above where we were battling on the earth. This fire hit the band of darkness over the earth and began to bore its' way through it like a plasma laser! We were right at the edge! On the other side of that dark band was light that was so bright that I could hardly see for a time. Then, my eyes seemed to adjust, and I saw the LORD seated on His white horse. Behind Him were the armies of angels as far as I could see. Then, I saw the Heavenly Saints behind them on horses and chariots of Fire. They were all waiting for the moment when the columns of the Fire of God would break through that dark band around the earth.

Then the LORD spoke to me again and cried, "YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES CONTENDING TO BREAK THROUGH THE DARKNESS...BEHOLD MY BRIDE IS PREVAILING!!"

He opened my eyes and I saw millions of praying saints in many places praying together in unity and love throughout the earth. There were these same columns of white-hot fire ascending over them. Many hundreds had reached the band of darkness. About ten were already more than halfway bored through already. I saw that those prayer warriors that had hit the dark band were attacked so badly, that many were reeling back and some had fallen, because of the fierceness of the demonic attack. BUT, THEY WERE NOT RETREATING!! 

Then, the LORD spoke like a lion roaring, as He sat mounted on His horse in front of the Armies of Heaven, "I AM AT THE THRESHOLDS! HOLD FAST IN YOUR FAITH! I AM COMING FOR MY PRECIOUS BRIDE WITH TEN THOUSANDS OF MY SAINTS AND MY ANGELS TO BRING YOU HOME! BUT, WOE TO THE EARTH AND THOSE THAT REMAIN! 

"OH EARTH, EARTH, EARTH, PREPARE TO MEET THY GOD!".

Then, the vision ended.

Blessings,
