I saw a flock of sheep, which I felt represented the church. Then I heard, “The wheat and tares will grow together.” A shepherd came and began dividing the flock, separating sheep from goats. He placed a large gap between them and enclosed them in pens. There were six pens in a 3 x 3 grid, with sheep tagged with pink tags. Both the sheep and goats had one shepherd.
THE SEPARATION: SHEEP AND GOATS
When Sister Margaret began prophesying about us being few, I inquired because I had the impression that the sheep and goats seemed to be in equal numbers. Then I heard, “Have you seen the goats outside?!” That made me realize the sheep and goats represented those within our house.
THE PERSONAL EXAMINATION
I saw the sheep being examined one by one. The shepherd brought each one out of the pen and inspected every part of them. I felt this season involved personal examination and walking with God. I was reminded of the serious prompting I’d felt from the Lord to wake up very early to speak with the Breakthrough angel, but I didn’t. I had slept. I also remembered hearing, “Godly sorrow leads to repentance” and thinking about how Jesus was a Man of sorrows. The Lord pointed out that I could have repented before coming, had I only inquired.
THE OBEDIENT HORSES
I saw sheep that had been examined and deemed worthy being let out of their pens. They transformed into beautiful brown horses and ran in one direction without shepherds. I felt they were obedient enough to follow instructions without constant supervision.
JUDGMENT ON THE GOATS BEGINS
I saw the goats, and just as the prophecies of death began, a tough-looking shepherd arrived. He started slaying the goats and sprinkling their blood on the ground. When Pastor began singing “Burn, Lord,” I saw the goats’ blood being poured into a small fire, which I heard was a “sacrifice of fear.” The blood acted like kerosene but wasn’t strong enough. As Pastor continued singing and said, “Seven times hotter,” the shepherd smirked, hissed, and tossed the goat aside. He then picked up a small bucket of what I felt was his own blood and poured it on the fire.
THE FIRE AND THE SACRIFICE OF FEAR
This caused an explosion. The fire burned all the grass in the area, setting the goats ablaze. They became rams, and the shepherd made them pass through the now-enlarged fire. Another shepherd followed each ram, flogging it severely, even drawing blood. I was reminded of the scripture: “You have not yet resisted sin to the shedding of your blood.”
THE WHIPPING AND TRANSFORMATION
I saw one particular ram whose shepherd added blades to the whip and continued flogging. The ram bled heavily but kept running. The shepherd then smiled, drew a knife, and stabbed the ram in the stomach. The ram bled profusely but kept running, with its blood pouring onto the ground. From this blood, small sheep began to form, and they too started running. The shepherd seemed to enjoy this process.
THE GLORIOUS SCARS
I recalled a message from Pastor about going beyond shedding blood to resist sin to shedding blood for others. Eventually, the rams returned to their pen. They were tough, muscular, and covered in scars, which glowed golden. They were beautiful in a terrifying way. When released, the rams didn’t run with the elegance of the horses; they ran recklessly, as if still on fire. They obeyed their shepherds in extreme ways.
TWO REVIVALS IN THE LAND
I had the impression that the Lord approved of the two groups. He said, “Now, there will be two revivals/outpourings in the land.” I understood that the horses would teach men about the grace of God, while the rams would teach men about the fear of God. Both groups would be obedient to God and do mighty works. However, the horses didn’t endure the pain the rams did; they ran with elegance, while the rams were raw and unrefined. I associated the rams with John the Baptist and Elijah types. The horses and rams together would demonstrate the kindness and severity of God.
THE SONG OF THE ARMY
As we sang “The World Has A Hope,” I felt the first verse was sung by the entire flock together, the second by the horses, and the third by the rams. Together, the house saw themselves as the army of the Lord; the horses saw themselves as His servants, while the rams saw themselves as an offering.
