RHEMA 9/01/08  LEVI PARABLE & HURRICANE GUSTAV

 

HEARD:  We know all things works together for good to those for those who are called according to His purposes. 

 

HEARD:  New Orleans.  You want it?

 

HURRICANE GUSTAV – New Orleans

Today the post about the a wall of tide coming in was sent out onto my email list, in chronological order to my rhema. 

 

VISION:  The tide was rolling in and it was a huge amount of water.  I climbed up higher on the stairs to get away from the water.

 

rest of word posted at the forum

 

I realized it was related to Hurricane Gustav that will hit land today, onto New Orleans, the same town that was flooded by Katrina. 

 

At the industrial canal, there is some small street flooding, a couple inches.  This is on the upper 9th ward where the water is gushing over the top.  It is the old part of the levee that they did not rebuild during Katrina.  There are over 350 miles of levees.  No homes are being flooded.  It dissipated to a category 2 storm.

 

WARNING TO THE CHURCH:  INTERCESSORS TAKE YOUR PLACES ON THE WALL  9/01/08

 

WAYNE WORD:  Wayne was thinking about the Mississippi river at New Orleans and then heard the Lord say, “This is a warning for My church.”

 

SANDY INTERP:  Today’s media has been focused on the levees holding and not flooding New Orleans.  I was thinking that the levee was a parable of the wall of intercessors taking their places to preserve the world from judgment.  When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord raises a standard against him. 

 

The parable of the levee is that it is not tall enough, nor strong enough, but needs more work and greater reinforcement.  We watched the waves and wind splash over the levees during the whole storm.  They appeared very vulnerable in memory of Hurricane Katrina that occurred 3 years ago.  Katrina caused 3 levee breaks that put more than 80% of Orleans Parish under water.  An estimated 200,000 homes in New Orleans were destroyed or damaged by Katrina.  According to one census, Orleans Parish lost 62% of its population (171,133 people displaced)  that never returned to the area. 

 

So far Katrina has cost the government about 200 million, with more expected.  Katrina started as a category 5, winds of 175 MPH, then downgraded to category 4 with 150 MPH.   One of the ways they are upgrading and rebuilding the levees is by driving 79 feet deep sheetpiles down into the earth and these are replacing the old ones that are 22 feet.  That was quickened to me as the “pillars” in God’s temple, which are intercessors who are stable in their authority and long time obedience and faith.  Much infrastructure is integrated into their “stand” in the Lord’s Word.

 

Another part of New Orleans collapse was the collapse of the Interstate 10 twin span bridge which was the major supply route into the city.  It was built with sections connecting to sections, and over 400 sections collapsed by the water moving up under the sections creating an air pressure that caused them to bump up and off their place. 

 

As I was seeing the rebuilding of the bridge on Modern Marvels, I suddenly had a vision of 2 prophetic camps connecting prophets together as a bridge for God’s people to travel safely.  Each section of the bridge is one prophet. 

 

It was quickened to me that when they rebuilt the bridge, they took sections from one twin and inserted them into the other bridge which allowed 2 way traffic.  Then in rebuilding the second one, they inserted different kind of sections that do not allow air pressure to build underneath them when water rises.  The 2 camps are the sons of thunder and the sons of nurture.  (Can be found in the QW search engine.)  One camp focuses on warfare, the other on the Presence of the Lord.  Right now the Lord is moving prophets from one position to another and rebuilding boundaries to keep traffic moving forward through transition. 

 

They are considering building flood “gates” that protect the amount of water going into the canals.  I was reminded of the spiritual position of being gatekeepers, or judges in the entrance of city.  These are spiritual fathers who exercise their spiritual authority to open and close doors through decrees and judicial justice. 

 

HOW TO STAND IN THE GAP:  Intercessors stand in the gap and take their places through prayer, decree, sacrifice, repentance, obedience, abiding, importunity, intercessions, fasting and more.  We are to be the salt of the earth, to preserve her and steward her. 

 

Luke 14:34-35  NKJV

"Salt is good; but if the salt has lost its flavor, how shall it be seasoned?  It is neither fit for the land nor for the dunghill, but men throw it out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!" 

 

Matt 5:13 NKJV

"You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men.

 

Isa 59:19 NKJV

When the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the LORD will lift up a standard against him.

 

QUICKENED MEMORY: I remembered an old prophesy by Bob Jones about an old Madrid fault line opening up causing large flooding with the Mississippi river being 100 miles across. If that were to happen, it has the potential of dividing the USA in half, where it becomes 2 land masses, divided by a body of water. Intercessors need to pray that the division among the body of Christ will be healed.
