The Wall Will Fall!
One day while in prayer, I had a moment of inspiration,
“The wind blows on both sides of the wall, the rain fall’s on both sides of the wall, God is not bound by walls or barriers, I may not get through, but nothing can keep the work of God out.”
It was quickened to me that God can and will use those held inside the wall to tear down the wall. Walls of tradition, walls of false doctrine, strongholds of sin, strongholds of deception, God will use those behind the wall to tear down the wall.
One fateful day, President Reagan declared, “Mr. Gorbechev, Tear down that wall.” Not many days passed before the youth of communist Russia began to dismantle the barrier that had separated east and west, freedom and communism, hope and hopelessness. How many stories were we told and heard of people smuggling the word of God behind the “Iron Curtain”. The wall fell because a man was willing to declare what it really was, “The evil empire.” The power of words called into focus the contrast and this contrast worked as a powerful wave that slowly caused that wall to come tumbling down. Today, you can go to ebay and buy pieces of the wall that fell.
The wall fell.
Most people today in areas of ministry and purpose find themselves banging their head against a wall. The tension, stress and strain that compounds itself in our lives can be at times frustrating beyond explanation. We pray. We fast. We pray. We fast. We pray some more. We weep. We intercede. We pray some more. And often the in midst of our struggle we wonder, “Will this wall ever fall?”
The wall will fall.
Keep pushing against the wall. Keep pressing.
I am reminded of a story. One day an angel appeared to a man and told him, “Tomorrow, there will be rock in front of your door, push the rock. So the next day, true to the command pushed the rock. From sun up to sun down, he fulfilled the command. Everyday after that, he pushed. Week after week, month after month and year after year, the faithful man pushed. Years later, he began to complain, “God, you told me to push the rock, and I have been faithful. But it has not moved.” The devil began to put his two cents worth in and accuse him of his failure. “See, you are a failure, the rock has not moved any.” So the man, weary and tired from a day of pushing the rock, went to bed discouraged and down. That night the angel returned and said, “Look at your legs, they are strong and powerful. Your hands are hard and calloused. Your back is broad and full of strength. Your obedience is seen in the strength you have acquired in the pushing. God only wanted you to push the Rock. The Lord never told you to move the rock. He told you to push the rock. God will move the rock.” The next morning, with one push, the rock rolled down the mountain. The process that we all find ourselves in the middle of, is building a reservoir of strength.
The cold war, is responsible for America becoming the Super Power she is today. If there had not been a wall, America would not have had the will to strengthen itself.
The interesting point is the wall was not run over by the tanks and was not bombed by the planes, but it was tore down by the people that were confined by it. Today we are not on a mission to destroy the sinners, but to fight against the evil strongholds of iniquity that hold them bound. We are not fighting people; we are fighting against a spiritual reality that is bent on the destruction of the souls of men.
We have a purpose. Prophesy against your wall. Proclaim the message to those behind the wall. The wall will fall.
In the days prior to the liberation of the slaves, there was what came to be called, “The Underground railroad.” Many people found freedom from slavery, because someone would come and guide them through to a place of freedom. The sacrifice and effort made was all focused on helping people escape the tyranny of slavery.
Today, our job is much like that. We are trying to help those that are willing to take the step, trying to bring them to a place of freedom from drugs, alcohol and all the degrading works of the flesh that the devil uses to imprison them. The captives always build the wall. The wall is built by those held bound. Just as they build the wall, many things are going to have to be torn down with their own hands. Jesus will give the power, but people must exercise their will to stay in a place of victory.
We are quickly approaching a time of unprecedented harvest and miracles in America. People are tired of commercial religion. People are tired of preachers that are only in it for the money and prestige. People are tired of seeing ministers and leaders also being adulators, cheaters, molesters, rapist, liars and drunks.
A day is coming and now is that people are revolting from the religious walls that confine them in tradition led by men driven out of the desire to please the people that precipitates the fall to their own carnality.
The world needs an uncompromising prophetic voice to highlight the contrast of sin and righteousness, holiness and carnality. The heaven and hell concepts of right and wrong, sinner and saint. When the ministry begins to pander to the concepts of comprise to please the crowd, they are steps away from moral failure.
Just as Gorbechev did not tear the wall down, the people did. What God is going to do will not be propagated in bulk by leaders of the failing establishment, but it will be propagated by people hungry for freedom and finding revelation.
Where will they Go? Where the Ministry stands for integrity, preaches truth and has been prophesying, praying and pushing against the evil empire and it's walls.
Prophesy to your Wall,
Engineer an Underground Railroad, Push your Rock,
The Wall Will Fall!
In Him, By Him, Through Him,
Scott Phillips
