The prophet's sword
I see the prophet, wielding a sword. A disc is in front of him with the prophet's crest on it. He cuts the disc into two parts with the sword.
Pretty simple, but it speaks three things.
1) The prophetic gift comes with discernment, and we must use this discernment to decide what is from God and what is from man. As I read in a good article recently, the best way to get discernment is to spend time with God, getting to know his spirit.
2) The Lord is going to refine the prophetic gift in his prophets to make their words more powerful, as they become more concentrated with his words, and not man's.
3) The Lord is going to open his prophetic gift. The veil which has been keeping the power of his prophetic revelation largely untapped in mainstream christianity is being rent, just the like the veil in the temple. He is going to open up his gift to make it accessible to 'normal' christians. He's not going to dumb it down, nor is he going to devalue it, but he is going to destroy the self pride of his prophets, in order that his power might be undiluted in their prophecy. Remember that the prophet's crest bore my image? Well, no longer.
As the vision ended, the pieces of the disc came back together. They no longer bore my image, but that of Jesus. As God destroys the pride of his prophets, the prophetic gift will release more of his power, as people see Jesus in the prophets.
PS. It's probably not the time or the place, but my dad is the most awesome man in history, and I love him like you wouldn't believe. And I'm talking about Kenneth D. Brown, and not being overly spiritual and talking about God.
Alright?
In hindsight, that was pretty timely, this the start of the death to pride for me...
