Vision of Harvest

VISION OF CHESTNUT COLORED HORSE

                                                                Job Anbalagan

Sister Lousie Richard of Metairie, USA sent me e-mail about the following visions he had from the Holy Spirit during the period 3^rd to 5^th September 2002:

“Shortly after I received your letter, I was given a vision from the Lord through the Holy Spirit, but I knew it was not the whole vision the Lord had given me.

 So I wanted to make sure I was at one with the Lord.  I now feel I am.  The first vision I received through the power of the Holy Spirit was a large body of water,

very calm.  Then as I waited on the Lord, He showed me a large sword coming up from the water, a two-edged Sword.  The tip of the Sword appeared first

and then the rest of it.  I knew the water was the living water, and the Sword is the Word of God.

Tonight (5^th Sept.), I was shown the same vision of the water and the Sword and then the Lord showed me the rest of the vision.  I saw a transparent curtain,

which was then torn twain by Jesus, and an angel riding on a chestnut colored horse appeared, brandishing a sword.  At first I thought it was the archangel Michael,

but it was not; it was the angel Gabriel.  Jesus commanded this angel to “go forth” and the angel rode like the wind from the Heaven to the earth.

The angel was riding that horse.”

I know that the curtain I saw is the gate of Heaven being let open.  The Sword is the Word of God, and the angel is to bring the Word to us so that we might use the

Word to go forth, conquering the land before us. We should also both pray for the churches throughout the world and witness to these churches.”

Interpretation of the above visions:

In addition to what our dear sister has interpreted, I interpret the vision about the chestnut colored horse. The Lord had given a similar vision to Evangelist Steven Pyle i.e. vision of rainbow. Steven Pyle had also seen a chestnut colored horse about which I interpreted as follows:

The chestnut colored horse is figurative of the five-fold ministry of New Testament. Nobody is riding this horse. This shows that this horse does not represent an individual servant of God’s ministry. It is a body ministry of His servants with oneness of mind. The reddish brown color means that this five-fold ministry is the same type of the New Testament ministry, which turned the world upside down. It is the old wine in a new bottle. It does not have any new color but has the natural color of wooden furniture. The natural color of wooden furniture does not fade away with the passage of time, whereas the artificial color of paint fades away. The five-fold ministry of these servants of God will be very active and strong as a horse. The gates of hell will never prevail against the Church, which is ministered by the five-fold ministry of His servants.

Steven Pyle did not see any man on the horse. However, sister Lousie has seen the angel Gabriel sitting on the horse. Gabriel was the angel who interpreted Daniel’s vision and revealed the prophecy of 70 weeks in the prophetic book of Daniel (Dan.8: 16-27 & 9:21-27) and who announced the good news concerning the birth of Christ and of John (Luke 1:11-22 & 26-38). Gabriel also stands in God’s presence (Luke 1:19). Gabriel is symbolical of the prophecy and of the Gospel. The two important functions of this five-fold ministry are prophecy and propagation of the Gospel. This is the ministry, which is approved of God under the New Testament. It bears the seal of His angel Gabriel who stands in God’s presence.

Regarding the vision of the two-edged Sword, I have already interpreted it as follows, under the caption “the vision of rainbow”:

The giant sword is the two edged sword of the Spirit i.e. the Word of God. The servants of God fight the false prophets and teachers and anti-christs with the two-edged Word of God. While tempting Jesus, the Devil quoted the Word only. But, Jesus defeated the Devil in the wilderness by quoting the Word from its other side. God’s power is going to be poured out on this five-fold ministry in an amazing way from the Heaven. Amen.

Vision of Harvest

Bill Yount

In the Spirit I saw an unprecedented move of God like never before begin to sweep over multitudes that were lost. I saw the doors of their hearts opening up from the inside out and then these doors began to fall off as their hinges were being melted by the love of God! What was happening that finally was changing these hearts of stones to flesh?

It was like a video was rewinding and I saw a huge angel flashing a sword downward from the Heaven over the Body of Christ as we were crying out with fasting for the lost. I then saw this sword severe the jugular vein of a goliath "lying" spirit that had deceived many of God's people telling them - "Don't share Jesus with your neighbor! They are not really open and you will only turn them off more! This "lying" spirit had paralyzed many from reaching out to the lost and held them inside their prayer closets and solemn assemblies crying out to God to bring in the lost Himself.

As this "lying" spirit like a stronghold began to fall, the Body of Christ began to believe the opposite was true. Even as the gospel was hidden from the lost by a veil of blindness over them, we began to realize that the lost had been hidden even from us. For we had closed our eyes to pray for them so long that we had failed to really see them.

I then heard the Father in Heaven saying to a strong angel. "Tell them to pray for the lost with eyes wide open or they will miss opportunities that are coming right in front of them! The lost have been ready. My people just didn't believe it! The lost are so ripe for the harvest that you won't even need to carry your Bible. Let my word now be flesh in you. Your hands must be free to embrace them for just a hug of love will cause many in this harvest to literally fall head long into My Kingdom as I reach out through you. Even let your words be few and just listen as they pour out their heart for they are dying to be accepted and loved as I have loved you. Just be there for them!"

I saw like an automatic door that opens when you walk close to it. When you get so close the door automatically opens without pushing it or even touching it. You don't even have to ask the door if it would like to open up for you - it just does! I saw in the Spirit this same principle between the Body of Christ and the lost as we would just begin to walk and come near them. The doors of their hearts would just begin to open up to us and allow us into their lives as though they had been waiting for us to come to them for a long time. I sensed the secret of what was opening their hearts now was the unthreatening, loving way we came toward them. It was like all we had was the love of God flowing through us and upon them and they just simply started giving away their hearts and lives to the Lord totally!

I then heard the Lord whisper to us flooding our hearts with His compassion as we began to perceive the harvest all around us. He was bringing it to where we were. It was like we didn't even have to "Go" because it had now "come” to us so ripe and ready. The Lord whispered. "Walk softy for the harvest now is at your feet. It's that close. And they are ready and waiting for you!
