As I was laying down in bed last night, it suddenly became darker than normal. The air began to feel very dry, as I looked around I realized that I was in another vision. It looked like I was in a pit, the ground was dusty and dry, like it hadn't rained there in ages. It was dark and I began to hear a slight rustling and then a hissing. I began to see snakes emerging from the darkness around me. I was surrounded by them. They were vipers, arching up and hissing. Their teeth were gnashing and biting at me from all sides. It was hot, dusty, and dry. They seemed to be so large and tall as I was laying on the ground, but as I gained my perspective, I was able to stand to my feet. As I rose up, they began to shrink back to a normal size in my view. They were still hissing and biting at me but for some reason, they couldn't harm me. They weren't able to do anything but scare me. Once I realized that they couldn't hurt me, I heard the Lord speak "there are vipers surrounding my children". I didn't quite know what that meant.
As I looked to the right, I saw a sword leaning up against the side wall. I reached for it and grabbed it, holding it with both hands. As I picked it up, the vipers began to attack harder, striking at my legs and feet. As I swung the sword to protect myself, I realized that all of the vipers that were struck down with the sword, were cut in the jaw so that their mouths couldn't close. One by one, they fell to the wayside cut by the sword. This went on for what seemed likes ages, one after another, they just kept coming out of the darkness. They kept attacking and hissing, striking and biting. Then all of a sudden, as quick as it started, they stopped coming. I looked at the mess surrounding my feet, the slain bodies of these serpents laying all around. I kicked through hundreds of them as I took my steps. Then, the next thing that I knew, I was back in my bed. It all faded away.
As I asked the Lord for clarification on what all this could be, he put it in my heart that we, the true spirit filled believers, are surrounded by vipers daily. In our churches, at our work, in our homes, in our families, in our daily activities. The enemy has a brood of vipers unleashed upon this earth. The ever increasing evil that we see daily, is just the tip of the iceberg as to the persecution to come. We must remain armed with the sword of the spirit, the word of the Lord to defend our beliefs. Soon we will even see Christians turning against Christians, divination against divination, calling good evil and evil good. We will see a great revival but not without a great opposition. As the spirit is unleashed in revival across the nations, it will not look the way the spirit of religion demands it to look. It won't feel like the same church you have been to year after year. There will be a shift in the pouring out of gifts upon the believers and that will bring forth the hidden demons that many Christians cuddle themselves to sleep with every night. There will be a time of consecration for my true believers, they will begin to be blessed beyond measure. Others will not recognize this for what it truly is and jealousy and those stiff-necked and envious will come against you. Even those we considered closest to us will be biting at our heels. Remain rooted in the word, remain steadfast and kingdom minded. Yield the sword of the spirit. Practice it daily. You never know when you'll be forced to pick it up and use it in battle. Be ready my beloved for there are vipers among you.
Matthew 12:34-37 34 You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. 36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Luke 3:7-9 7 He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’ For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. 9 Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”
Matthew 23:33-39 33 You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell? 34 Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will flog in your synagogues and persecute from town to town, 35 so that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah the son of Barachiah,[a] whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. 36 Truly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! 38 See, your house is left to you desolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Revelation 2:16 16 Therefore repent. If not, I will come to you soon and war against them with the sword of my mouth.
Ephesians 6:13-20 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.
Isaiah 11:4 4 but with righteousness he shall judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall strike the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips he shall kill the wicked.
