"The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house" Haggai 2:9
Ancient Angels of Faith
I saw ancient angels of faith embedded in the walls of many churches. They are now being awakened and activated through the prayers of the saints of past generations - who were praying to see a great move of God in their day.
I sense that many saints in these churches may have felt like their fervent prayers were bouncing off of the ceilings and walls of their churches. They didn't realize that their eternal prayers were actually going into the ceilings and walls of their churches, which have been building up for a greater future last day outpouring!
These ancient angels of faith being awakened, have been faithful to their long-term assignments to these churches so that "the glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former!"
Angels who were summoned generations ago to many churches through tear-stained altars, but were stifled in their assignments through unbelief and strife, were now being called forth to complete their assignments - even in churches that people were thinking, "This church will never see a move of God!" But God was now honoring the prayers of many generations and a mighty breakthrough for so called "dead" churches was now inevitable!
IF THESE WALLS COULD TALK!
I guess if it were possible to hear the walls of our churches talk, we would probably cringe to hear what we think they would say or report publicly to the world. For we all are aware of the hurts and mistakes we have all made in the past and the present. But if you think the walls of your churches are thinking about your past and even present failures, you are wrong!
To my surprise, I heard in the spirit, the walls inside of many churches beginning to talk only about the good things that God had accomplished in the history of our churches - past and present. It was as though these walls had no remembrance of our defeats or wrong doings!
The generational power of prayer had broken through changing the atmosphere, turning mistakes into miracles and giving us grace to believe again for the greatest move of God in all of history - right where we live! These walls seemed to still believe when many people didn't.
These walls were not hanging by nails and wood, but were hanging on the very Word of God. They knew the finger of God had written all over their walls, generations ago: "I will pour out of My Spirit upon all flesh!" And they believed all flesh really meant all flesh, even the flesh that was still inside of these buildings today!
YOU MAY WANT TO LAY HANDS ON THE WALLS OF YOUR CHURCH TO PRAY A BREAKTHROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE!
The church where I have attended for thirty-five years (perhaps a world's record) is inside a restored theater. When we first moved into it, there was a Moose Club next door on the other side of our church wall. In the evening services, the music of the rock bands next door could be heard in our sanctuary seemingly disturbing us from worshiping the Lord.
One night after the service, one of our elders walked over and laid his hands on that wall where the music was coming through and prayed and claimed that building next door - for the Kingdom of God!
We didn't realize that it was really our music and worship that was penetrating through the wall and going into their club next door bringing conviction. We later learned that one of the town drunks who practically lived there got gloriously saved and became a member of our church!
About ten years ago that Moose Club moved out of town and our church purchased that building. Where the bar room used to be next door is now our church prayer room! When this saved brother passed away a few years ago, his family gave some of their inheritance to build the prayer room in the exact place where he used to drink! Also many pastors in our city pray weekly in that prayer room for a citywide revival and we are seeing God move! What a Redeemer!
"NO SPIRITUAL WALLS LEFT STANDING!"
I heard these ancient angels of faith decreeing to both ancient and newborn churches and to home group fellowships: "No 'spiritual' walls left standing. Every generational wall that separates you from one another is coming down!"
It's as though these angels were given a command for this hour to bring down every wall that has been erected between God's people over many generations. I heard a strong angel proclaiming: "No walls left standing! Walls are coming down!"
As these ancient angels of faith began to awaken inside of these walls and began stretching their wings, generational walls of tradition and division began to crumble as religious spirits were being cast out by the presence of God!
