Scribes of History

A little over two weeks ago I had an experience that has really made and impact on me. I feel that I need to share it not just to be able to say look what happened to me but because I know that the Lord is speaking to us loud and clear that we need to be about the Kingdom's business. The Kingdom of Heaven has been "at hand" for a long time now, but we have only barely touched what is available.

Scribes of History
While I was worshipping Jesus I began to see a faint vision of a room that had started more and more to eclipse the room that I was in. Before too long I was in a room that was huge and book shelves lined the walls, all full of old leather bound ancient looking books. I also noticed four angels were in the room as well. Two of the angels were on opposite walls pulling books out of their shelves and reading excerpts and placing the books back where they got them. As they reached for a book they knew exactly what book they needed to find what ever it was they were looking for and they also knew exactly where to turn in the book. The angels were doing this constantly. The other two angels were seated at desks made of wood and covered in Gold. In their hands were quill pens and they wrote in these ancient looking books constantly. I approached on of the desks to read what was being written. These Angels were writing out History. They were writing down everything that has ever happened from the smallest little ants to the World powers in government, every movement and thought. Every change in the wind, everything was being recorded and that includes every tree and star as well. They were writing with incredible speed.

Words Released to the Earth
I also noticed that the Angels that were reading excerpts were releasing words of knowledge and wisdom into the Earth. As the children of God desired words of Knowledge or wisdom from History the Angel would read the excerpt that would release the knowledge needed for that occasion.
There was something peculiar about the way the two angels that were at the desks were writing. They skipped a lot of small spaces. It reminded me of "mad lips" from when I was a kid. "mad libs" were pre-written stories that had spaces left out and under each space there was a clue on what type of word need to be in that place. You got to pick what word went into that spot. If the clue was adjective you would put whatever adjective you like in that spot. In Mad libs this was done before ever reading the story. It was quite hilarious to read the story after all of your nouns and adjectives were put in their place and the stories became very silly.
These Angels weren't skipping places to come up with a silly story, they were actually writing out history before it was even happening. Remember there is no time in the Spirit. The places they were skipping were areas and events that had not yet been decided on their outcome. The spots were left open because there was an opportunity for the children of God to speak the kingdom of heaven into each and every moment in time. I looked back through the pages and though the angels never went back to fill anything in the spaces, they were filled automatically with the words need to describe which of the two kingdoms had effect on that situation. For instance when the space was blank about the day Mary was sick it could have read that she got healed by a son of God who prayed for her and spoke life and the kingdom into her or because there was no one to pray she was left to the kingdom of darkness and soon died. (that is just an example) Everything throughout the world was written in these books.

The Future
As I read I noticed two major things. The words didn't come to me as words only but as visions. I saw a part of Asia right on the India Pakistan border and I saw a battle taking place. The battle was with old weapons like swords and Shields. Then I heard the Lord say it will be very quick and very fierce many people will die in an instant. Four days later a major earthquake hit this exact spot where I saw this battle and many people died. Though I saw a battle I knew after this had happened that this is what I saw. It was already written in the book. I know it is easy to say that you saw something before it happened, especially after the fact, but I shared this with a few people the night I first saw it.
There was something else I saw. I saw a sickness hitting the aborigines that was associated with a high fever and it could potentially kill many in Australia. If you know me you would know that I am not a doom and gloom guy. Though I did see this I also saw that there was a space left in the book where heaven could invade or the kingdom of darkness. I pray that someone take action and speak life to that area of Australia. Someone who lives there who can minister the Gospel to these people. If in intercession we decree it and in life we live it, pray it and preach it, heaven will take over.

Our Part
What does all this mean? God is giving us the opportunity to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to the Earth. Many people across the globe will die and burn in Hell because there was no one there to stand for them to intercede for them. In my opinion intercession has taken some weird roads in the past. I am not talking about begging God to do something for these people, for your neighbor, for your dog or even your finances. God is giving us the authority to change the worked around us. Job 22:28 "You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And light will shine on your ways. Proclaim the rule and reign of Jesus over a situation and watch heaven invade. Don't beg God to do what he has already done as if he is a mean old man taunting you. Stand believing and proclaiming that Jesus is King and the Kingdom of Heaven is on the Earth.
I will also encourage you with this, no army has ever occupied an area and actually taken it over without having men on the ground physically there to enforce their rule and reign. Intercessors you are awesome!, but we also need people who are there enforcing what the intercessors have decreed and spoken over an area. Jesus said pray that the Lord send laborers then he himself sent laborers. We must not only pray but be ready to GO as the Lord has commanded us.
Mat 9:36-38 Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd. (37) Then He *said to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. (38) "Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest."
Mat 10:1 Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
Mat 10:5-8 These twelve Jesus sent out after instructing them: "Do not go in the way of the Gentiles, and do not enter any city of the Samaritans; (6) but rather go to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. (7) "And as you go, preach, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.' (8) "Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. Freely you received, freely give.
