Vision Received 22 September 1999

‘Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding banquet is ready, but those I invited did not deserve to come. Go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you can find. So the servants went into the streets and gathered all the people they could find, both good and bad, and the wedding hall was filled with guests. But when the king came in to see the guests, he noticed a man there who was not wearing wedding clothes. ‘Friend,’ he asked, ‘how did you get in here without wedding clothes?’ The man was speechless. Then the king told the attendants, ‘tie him hand and foot, and throw him outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. For many are invited but few are chosen.’ Mt 22:8-14

As I prayed for Guatemala City, the Lord showed me an earthenware urn poised over the city from which crystal clear water was pouring. I watched in awe as the water turned into wine and it was poured out on the nation. This speaks of the coming anointing of the Holy Spirit (new wine) in revival for the city; the urn speaks of preparation in prayer (the urns that Jesus used to turn water into wine at the Wedding Feast in Cana were for ceremonial washing. They would have been filled with water and were used for preparation and washing prior to prayer).

I saw multitudes making their way to a large banqueting hall. Some were ragged in attire and deeply impoverished, but this was unimportant for their hearts shone with the Lord’s anointing. They had heard the Master’s call and were responding to His invitation with joy in their hearts. I had such a tender revelation of the need to honour our brothers and sisters who are poor and destitute and to see them as magnificent jewels in the Crown of the One who lives forever and ever.

The Spirit shared with me that there are many in Guatemala who are to be invited wedding guests of the Lamb. He spoke, ‘Go and invite them to the Master’s Wedding Feast and make disciples of those in Guatemala.’

I then saw many people carrying an assortment of artefacts who were moving towards a huge bonfire. These artefacts included dolls, worry beads, ‘lucky’ talismans/amulets and armbands. All of these artefacts were being voluntarily thrown into the fire. This symbolised an end to the hold these items held on the lives of these new believers. Animism was being consumed by holy passion for Christ.

‘I am going to restore rest to this city and My beloved will sleep safely in their Saviour’s arms. My children weep from exhaustion and lack of sleep but they will receive joy and they will know My rest. I will break anxiety’s grip on this city’s heart and mind and I will replace fear with faith. Cast all your anxieties on Me because I care. Multitudes await the gift of Life. Go to these and deliver My salvation. Do not judge by outward appearances for many are called but few are chosen.

Amen
