AN ARMY OF ANNA'S

This Article was taken from Trumpet Wind email list. TrumpetWindList@TrumpetWind.
While staying in the home of an older lady (age 63) this
weekend, I heard the Lord begin to speak to me about an army of Anna's coming
forth......This is what I heard..
Luke 2:36-37, " There was also a prophetess Anna, the daughter of Phanuel,
of the tribe of Asher. She was very old; she lived with her husband seven years
after her marriage and then was a widow until the age of 84. She never left the
temple, but worshipped night and day, fasting and praying."
AND YOUR OLD WOMEN . . . RISING UP OUT OF OBSCURITY
And I heard the Lord say, "An Army of
Anna's".....And your old women will dream, dreams and upon my handmaids I
will pour out my spirit.! For God is renewing a work in the midst of the years.
I see an army of older women....60 and above who are rising up out of obscurity
and taking their places in the house of the Lord. Once again the scripture is
coming to pass that the older women will teach the younger. I see a releasing of
women who were once bound by circumstances, both physical and spiritual coming
into their destinies of extravagant worshippers. These are those who have stood
the test of time and endured many hardships. The limitations and the hindrances
are being taken off and the wisdom of God and the discipline of a set apart life
is coming forth! The desire for worldly entertainment is being removed and
instead they will fill their days and hours with the Word and the presence of
God.
PERFUME FOR THE MASTER'S FEET
For their greatest desire and fulfillment will be to pour out expensive perfume
on the feet of the Master. And I see a great healing because of this and order
returning to the house of God. I see religion and tradition and the mindsets of
men falling off and true worship returning to the House of God.
MINISTRIES NEVER BEFORE CONSIDERED
I also see these women being released into ministries they would have never
before considered. They will move out of their comfort zones and move into the
harvest fields. For I see the glory of God on their heads and I see that through
their touch, many will be saved and healed....!!!! Hallelujah.....Jesus, release
this and let it come forth! Amen....
HANNAH'S WOMB AND THE BIRTHING OF MANY SAMUEL'S
by Sis. Ching Co, Cebu City Philippines (ching@GSILINK.COM)
SPIRITUAL HANNAH'S
There are many people within the body of Christ that have
been called spiritual Hannah's. God has used your lives as spiritual wombs where
the Holy Spirit has planted heavenly visions and dreams. You have carried these
visions and allowed them to grow deep within despite the outward signs of
barrenness and seemingly fruitlessness in the past years. And like Hannah, year
after year, you did not stop crying out to the Lord to bring to life all that
you've sensed growing inside of you. You have faced provocation, you have cried
bitter tears. Like Hannah, you have been mistaken for a drunk because of your
desperate cries for help.
THE MOMENT OF BIRTH
The Lord wants to announce to every one who has walked this path that your
season for birth is at hand. As the Lord remembered Hannah and in the course of
time she conceived and gave birth to Samuel (1 Samuel 1:19-20)-- So your time
for giving birth to your Samuel has also come and is now at hand.
WHOLLY DEDICATED TO THE LORD
But like Hannah who brought Samuel to the house of the Lord and gave him to the
Lord and he worshipped the Lord there-- So many of the Samuel's that will be
birthed in the coming days will belong totally to the Lord.
LIKENED TO ABRAHAM
Like Abraham, your Isaac will soon be born to you. And in the same way that God
instructed Abraham to offer Isaac as a burnt offering-- So you too have to offer
your Isaac to God. (Genesis 22:1-2) "Even now, prepare your hearts"
says the Lord. "Learn to let go even before You received them [your Isaacs
and your Samuels]. Take hold of them lightly for they belong to Me."
APPLICATION
Many visions that God has planted in the spiritual wombs of His people are about
to come to fullness. However, like Hannah everyone of them will belong to God
from the moment of birth. He will raise up others to care and make this vision
grow-- and like Hannah, many who have carried them will have to watch their
spiritual visions grow from a distance.
The Lord is saying today that we must not be afraid to let go of our Samuel's
once they are birthed-- No matter how young they look and regardless of the
surroundings where they will grow. The Lord will overshadow these visions
and--just like Samuel, God's hand will be upon them and He will not allow these
visions to die but will fulfill the purpose for which they have been birthed. (3
Samuel 3:19-20) Even now the Lord is speaking to many of the spiritual Hannah's
and encouraging us to lay our spiritual Samuel's to Him. He wants full control
of how these visions will be fulfilled. He will determine and chart the path
that they will take to grow. He may choose to call and appoint others to do
this, or He may, in due time return stewardship of these visions to us.
However the Lord would choose to do this, He desires for His children to have
that assurance that our coming Samuel's will be in GOOD HANDS -- HIS HANDS.
In the same manner that the Lord was with Samuel as he grew up , and he let none
of his words fall to the ground-- and Samuel's words came to all Israel (3
Samuel 19-20)-- So the Most High God will do the same with every one of our
spiritual Samuel's.
May the peace of the Most High God flood our soul as we choose to walk the path
that Hannah did. And may these words from the mouth of Hannah becomes ours too
as we rejoice in the victory that the Lord will bring to those who love and obey
Him all the way.
HANNAH'S PRAYER: ( 1 Samuel 2:1-12)
Then Hannah prayed and said:
"My heart rejoices in the Lord; in the Lord my horn is lifted high. My
mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your deliverance. "There is
no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like
our God. "Do not keep talking so proudly or let your mouth speak such
arrogance, for the Lord is a God who knows and by him deeds are weighed.
"The bows of the warriors are broken, but those who stumbled are armed with
strength. " Those who were full hire themselves out for food, but those who
were hungry hunger no more. She who was barren has borne seven children, but she
who has had many sons pines away. "The Lord brings death and makes alive;
he brings down to the grave and raises up. "The Lord sends poverty and
wealth; he humbles and he exalts. "He raises the poor from the dust and
lifts the needy from the ash heap; he seats them with princes and has them
inherit a throne of honor. "For the foundations of the earth are the
Lord's; upon them he has set the world. "He will guard the feet of his
saints, but the wicked will be silenced in darkness. " It is not by
strength that one prevails; those who oppose the Lord will be shattered. He will
thunder against them from heaven; the Lord will judge the ends of the earth. He
will give strength to his king and exalt the horns of his anointed." Then
Elkanah went home to Ramah, but the boy ministered before the Lord under Eli the
priest.
