SPIRITUAL LEADERS EMERGING
The
other day the Lord showed me a picture of a lioness nursing her cubs. I
understood immediately that He was showing me that He is raising up
women as well as men to be mentors to the next generation. Some of you
are being groomed for ministry to nurture the younger believers into the
calling that the Lord has for them. Those of you who are grounded in
the word, know how to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit, and are able to
discern that which is spiritual from that which is carnal will mentor
these young cubs.
To
those of you who are in your “golden years”, the Lord has not forgotten
you. You will release the wisdom and revelation that He has imparted to
you to the younger generation.
After
I received this word I did a search on the lioness and her cubs. The
cubs will go on to eat meat after a few months but remain dependent on
the mother’s milk for up to two years. The mother protects them as they
are vulnerable to predators and other lions who may also be a threat.
The lionesses will fight back when anyone tries to attack her cubs.
I
also came across a story that happened last year of a lion that was
found nursing a leopard cub. They said that it seems as though this
lioness’s aggressive instincts have taken a back seat to her maternal
ones. Lions live in groups called “prides” which means that this leopard
cub would need to be welcomed into the lion pride after it matures. The
Lord showed me something interesting as I read this. There are those of
you who will be also mentoring others who are outside of the lion’s
pride. They will come from other tribes and you will welcome them, take
them under your wings and council them.
Jesus
is looking for mentors will reach out and rescue those who are in
desperate situations because they know what it is to pay the price as
they have overcome through grueling trials. They are mature believers
who will train and equip the young ones for their assignment ahead. They
will explain the battle plan and teach them how to be tenacious in
spiritual warfare and how to be strong and very courageous. They have
been more than conqueror's in every battle and will train others to be
the same. They will encourage them to pursue the plan and calling on
their lives and never retreat in battle. They will teach them how to
walk and train them how to be led. They will teach them when to war, and
teach them when to stand.
He
is looking for those who will help them to discover their purpose for
their lives. They will not mentor from natural knowledge, but they will
teach what they have learned through divine revelation of the Word of
God. They will advise them on righteousness and teach them to live with
clean hands and a pure heart. Demons tremble at the sound of their voice
because they carry an anointing and understand their Covenant rights.
He
is looking for the prophets to teach the younger ones how to be used in
the gifts of the Holy Spirit. To show them how to be used in miracles,
signs and wonders with respect and reverence of the anointing on their
lives. They are those who know their authority in Jesus name. They will
be those who mentor not only through sound doctrine but in wisdom and
love. They will mentor not just with persuasive words of human wisdom,
but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power
Matthew 28:19-20
Go
therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them
to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you
always, even to the end of the age.” Amen.
1 Corinthians 2:4 -5
And
my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human
wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith
should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God.
Hebrews 5:14
But
solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by
reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
