The Armoured Dinosaur

I see the head of a dead dinosaur. Then I see the sun-bleached skeleton of the same dinosaur lying in the desert, surrounded by young people speaking to it. Their words appear to me like binary- computer coding. These streams of numbers are going into the dinosaur skeleton and it is coming to life. (I just so happened to be reading Ezekiel 37 today as well as seeing this vision.) The dinosaur comes to life, and it's an armoured dinosaur, programmed for warfare by the words the young people were speaking.

Then I see the young people running into a battle, but the dinosaur is left behind. They are coming up against serious attacks, and yet cannot overcome, because they've left this huge weapon behind.

I asked the Lord for confirmation of this word, and I very briefly saw a picture of a dusty cannon, locked in a shed.

The spirit of prophecy is being awakened in God's people, especially the young people. No great news there. That prophecy is given for a reason though. We are to build up the church. That's what Paul says in 1 Corinthians 14:4- Prophecy is for the edification of the church.
We can't use the gift of prophecy as a weapon in itself- to prophesy to the enemy is worthless! But if we use prophecy to edify the church, all of a sudden we have a armoured dinosaur with which to fight!

With this in mind, the Lord speaks further to to his prophets. Don't seek after a word. Don't seek after an experience. Don't seek after a vision. Seek my kingdom, seek the building up of the church. Then the prophecies will bear fruit. In a sense, the Lord's word (both prophetic and scriptural) is the new covenant law- He speaks, we do. Therefore, let's be doers of the Law, and not hearers only.

Remember the prophet's belt...
