THE STIRRING AND HISSING OF THE OCEAN DEEP
“Therefore I inform you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. ” (1 Corinthians 12:3,BSB)
I will now share a dream I had about three times over the course of a few years. It was in 2011, whilst in West Palm Beach, USA that I had the dream yet again. It was poignant as I was alone on foreign soil and out of my comfort zone after a recent life change. Whilst travelling across states, I remember tearfully looking out of the window of the vehicle pondering the dream I had that night and its significance to my strategic prophetic healing call. Soberly I began receiving in my spirit the relativity of the vast country I was travelling through and the enormity of the global impact that the dream represented. At that time I had very little understanding of what a strategic prophetic remit on my life would entail and the chaos emerging from the stirring of the mantle in my obedience to the call. The fact that I had the dream at least twice before indicated this phenomenal move of the Spirit would definitely take place in time. “Moreover, because the dream was given to Pharaoh in two versions, the matter has been decreed by God, and He will carry it out shortly.” (Genesis 41:32, BSB)
The Dream
In my dream I was standing on a craggy piece of rock that jutted out to sea from the land. As far as my eyes could see, in all directions the wide formidable deep was before me. I was beholding the rising water levels around me as I walked along the flooding land mass. As I looked way out to sea I was in awe at the foaming white force churning ferociously on the distant horizon causing the rippling white surfs to reach the shores. What was striking in the dream, giving me goosebumps was the churning and hissing of the white foaming waters as of a steaming pressure cooker. In every which direction I looked I was moved and stirred by the frothing billows. The bubbling and steaming of the water around me was impactful and electric. From the vast open ocean to the shallow rock pools nearby, the waters were just surging white and hissing across the great watery expanse. Figuratively speaking, the vast ocean was boiling, tossing, swirling, sizzling and frothing. Just below the jutted out piece of land where I stood the rising frothy sizzling surge was enlivening even the shallow inlets and pools of water around the craggy rocks. Everywhere the great oceanic force trickled and flowed was being transformed into sizzling effervescence-like turmoil.
The Spirit then took me below the surface water and far, far out at sea, deep below the waterline depth I saw a dark disturbing force tearing towards land. It was moving like ‘the clappers’. The intensity of the force brought fear in me, contrasting the excitement I was feeling as I viewed the surface of the captivating white stirring of the deep. What I was now sensing in the dream was that no one else could see the evil force making its way to land. It was Spirit revealed to me that it was a subtle move of evil as I was taken some depths in the spirit below the waterline. Stirred with urgency I immediately turned on my heel and fled towards the beach where many people were sunbathing and frolicking in the sands. I was running around pleading with the people to move with me to the higher grounds in the distance. They stared at me as though I was a distraction. In desperation I fled to make my escape, leaving them content with their sunbathing. Only a few people followed me to higher grounds.
On reflection of the dream I am left with a lasting impression of the poignant moving scenes and sounds of the powerful motion of the surface waters. Ruach HadKadosh, the dynamic Wind of the Spirit, fearfully hover and dance over the ocean deep, receptively preparing for the ejaculation of the Word. The memory of this vivid dream and its chilling sounds are haunting, still sending shivers down my spine.
Dream Understanding
The stirring, churning hissing surface waters represents a phenomenal dynamic move of the Spirit. The sea indicates this move of the Spirit will be a global experience. The waters in small rock pools can be understood as even the inhospitable, secret and less known places on our planet will be recipients of God’s end time outpouring. The force under the waterline is clearly a move of evil as my feelings in the dream went from excitement and awe to fear and desperately urging the people to make their escape. My role in the dream is integral to the mantle given for this season’s move of the Holy Spirit. The call to higher spiritual grounds is pressing as the imminent Spirit-move of God will transform the spiritual atmosphere.
Sadly many will reject the call to higher grounds to escape the evil coming to mankind. The spirit of spiritual darkness pervades the nations lulling many into laxness, complacency, undiscerning to the evil moving through and strengthening in the deeps of life. “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.” (Matthew 7:13, BSB)
The Stirring of the Deep
The Spirit led me into Daniel 7 for a scriptural reference point for the dream. (2) “Daniel declared: “In my vision in the night I looked, and suddenly the four winds of heaven were churning up the great sea. (3) Then four great beasts came up out of the sea, each one different from the others:” (Daniel 7:2,3 BSB)
Ruach HadKadosh stirred the formidable deep in Daniel’s dream. The waters represent the nations and the breathed Word danced over the surging deep in the Wind of the Spirit releasing atmospheric change. Spiritually stirring up the nations for the next move of Yahweh for transformation and change. Daniel’s dream warranted him closing the Book of Time until the fullness of the word. I announce this to be the time of the fulfilment of Daniel’s dream.
My dream exposes the raging evil that is coursing through the ocean undercurrent. The barrelling force indicates a new level of demonic fury, now to be unleashed in the unsuspecting nations. The tormentor of the people has hatched his end time plan against our Lord’s Ministry of Reconciliation. The work of healing, restoration, reconciliation and salvation will not be impeded because Jesus is Lord in His universe. All power, authority and sovereign rule has been conferred upon Yeshua Hamashiach, the Anointed One. Whilst writing, it suddenly dawned upon me that any great move of God for healing and salvation unleashes the Molech spirit. A spirit that brings death to innocent children. Spiritually this spirits seeks to bring death to the children of God. We saw this ferocious spirit at work when Herod sought to trawl baby Jesus into his evil net. The spiritual war in the spirit has intensified for the souls of men.
Further, my dream indicates the hissing, foaming white surges are evidently the enormity of the next move of the Spirit in the nations. We have entered into the culminating period of the Church age as the imminent return of the Lord bears upon us. God has a plan for His people. Be not perplexed at the uncertainty of the current world order. God is Creator and He will not be bound to work out of man’s set up. He will bring about His New Order. “See, I have appointed you today over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and plant.” (Jeremiah 1:10, BSB). Great civilisations and ruling kingdoms governing vast sways of the world have come and gone during the history of mankind. In the fullness of time they have crumbled with their ideological impositions and high rule. They are now pulverised to dust by the rolling ‘Stone of David’, cut out of the mountain of the eternal Kingdom of righteousness. A ruling spiritual entity reigning without end in the hearts of men. The creature-images in Daniel’s dream is that of the great empires that would come and go in time.
Ruach HadKadosh, the Ancient Wind of the Spirit that moved over the oceanic deep in Creation is about to move significantly for this end time. “Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.” (Genesis 1:2, BSB). The role of the Spirit of God is to work over a situation, a nation or people in preparation for the time when the Word is released to shift, move and shake for atmospheric and territorial change
Yam – Lord of the Deep
Baal, a Phoenician god is the collective name for many other heathen gods ruling over different entities in the earth. Strong’s (H1167) ,‘Baal’, interprets ‘owner’, ‘lord’, ‘archer’ or ‘husband’. It is thought that it was Jezebel who introduced Baal into worship in Israel in 9th century BCE. Strong’s H3221) ‘Yam’ gives the definition of ‘sea’, ‘ocean’. The original Hebrew letter for ‘Yam’ is ‘Mem’, the 13th letter of the Hebrew Alphabet . ‘Mem’ has a meaning of ‘King of Water’. We know that Jesus is the King of Creation. In Creation, Ruach HadKadosh, the Spirit of the Deep, with the Word enlivened and ruled over the watery abyss. In agreement with Yahweh, the mighty turbulent force was subdued by the Word. ((Strong’s (H4910) ‘mashal’ is to ‘rule over’ and have ‘dominion’, to ‘reign’. Ruach HadKadosh, the Spirit of God has dominion over the fathomless water kingdom. Since Baal interprets as ’owner’ or ’lord’, we can deduce that this spirit is without doubt counterfeit, usurping illegal right where Jesus is undisputed Lord over all realms, principalities and powers.
As seen in my dream, the evil spirit of ‘Yam’, detected by the dominant Holy Spirit is seen moving ferociously through the waters. Of course what is seen in my dream is what is being revealed in the spirit realm. As we are in the season of the stirring of the Wind of Spirit over the nations ,we are graciously forewarned of the evil force unleashed to deceive vulnerable unsuspecting souls. Those caught up in trying to live life as they had known before the pandemic should be spiritually informed that we are moving into God’s New Order. The world has changed and men’s spiritual understanding and perspective must change also. We have no more time to be aroused to spiritual alertness as our Lord lays bare the works of dark forces.
A Global Spirit Shift
The supernatural power of signs, miracles and wonders will accompany the righteous works of the Holy Spirit in this season. Can you feel the stirring power of Ruach HaKodesh emanating off this page? Indulge with me in anticipation of the imminent unfolding of this Spirit-revealing experience. It will be awesome, captivating, joyous and impacting. The waters of the stirring deep has begun frothing, bubbling and moving the murky dark depths in the spiritual ocean floor of nations. A violent strategic releasing mantle is forcing change, healing our broken world and undoing systemic boulders lain in the foundation of an evil world system. It is the stirring of the supernatural power of Ruach HaKodesh, bringing desolation, ruin and chaos to demonic principalities and powers residing over nations. Satanic forces are scattering in this season as the abodes and strongholds of evil in nations, manifested through strategic levels of unrighteous works, are exposed.
This overflow of the glory for this end time’s supernatural power will not be confined within the walls of the universal Church. Like a torrential flood the authority and force of the mantle will tunnel through diverse religions and social obstacles, surge over national restrictive covenants and global bureaucratic barriers. Ruach HaKodesh will blow over broken communities, hovering over their social, national and political deeps, to flood these dry dusty Arabah basins (Gentile nations), entrenched in spiritual darkness. “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”(John 3:16, BSB). This momentous imminent move of God will take place before the anxious watching world. “Tell the nations God has roused Himself from His Holy place” (Zechariah 2:13)
You will receive power when the Spirit comes on you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:4–8). The end time pouring out of the #NEWPENTECOST measure of Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit will be beyond our human comprehension. God has reserved the best tasting wine and its pouring out until the end of the long spiritual night. The authoritative power of the Holy Wind of the Spirit will be heaven’s best to counter the violent move of evil causing sickness, despair, isolation, fear, uncertainty and death in our world. This evil is a universal backlash against the global Spirit-move for this time. The thirsty yearning hearts of the weary world will be immersed and calmed in the long awaited healing flow to be poured out profusely by Ruach HaKodesh.
