From my bed, I looked over and saw my bedroom closet door—seemingly shut—yet, bulging open about half a foot with fish sticking out of the gap. The whole closet was crammed full of fish that were medium in size (like Pompano or Tuna), so much so, that the door could not be closed.

Instantly, I knew the Lord was "luring" me to that closet, which happens to be my "prayer closet." I knew He wanted to meet, and I knew He wanted to talk about money.

This closet is fairly large—about the size of a small bedroom. It's where I often pray and read, and write things the Lord shows and tells me. It's a place where I almost always sense His presence. It's a place where you'll often find me…early in the morning, or late at night.

So, I got up and went into the closet. As I walked in, I saw and heard in my spirit the two incidents involving the Apostle Peter (and others) and how their boats almost sank under the weight of all the fish they had caught at Jesus' prophetic direction.

As the Lord revealed this to me, I knew He was saying the same would manifest in my life and in the ministry He had called me to, and that He was wanting to do the same for the Body of Christ. I knew He was wanting to do just as He had done in the life of Peter and the other disciples. I also knew that it would be imminent.

Then the Lord opened my mind to the fact that both times this happened in the lives of the disciples, as recorded in the Gospels, it was just prior to "seasons of intense ministry" [that's how He said it]—the first, right after Jesus called Peter to "follow" Him. The second was just before Jesus departed the earth, and just before Pentecost.

In both cases—in the natural sense—these disciples would need "money" (a surplus) to sustain them during the seasons of ministry that followed, or at least to help them get started.

So, as I walked into the closet, I knew this vision was far more than just about money. It represented going into the presence of God, into His excessiveness, into His abundance.

God is wealth. He is resource. He is supply. And that wealth and resource and supply is in our relationship with Him. It is in our relating to Him, and His relating to us—each from our heart.

That closet represented the many deposits and exchanges that have already happened between us. It represented the "richness" I have walked into—and come out with—countless times before.

That closet also represented the riches of God's glory with which we are about to be dressed—with which He wants to dress the Body of Christ. We will go in one way and come out another.

It represents God wanting to clothe us in Him, clothe us with Himself, clothe us with His character, His nature, His glory, His abundance, His wealth.

Finally, that closet represented God's excessiveness toward us—yet, beyond us. It would be too much for us. It would be for others, as well.

Because the "fish" represent resources, such as money. Yet, the "fish" also represent souls, which are the ultimate purpose of those resources.

That closet—the place where you meet with God, the place where you lose yourself in Him—is a "storehouse" of provision for what is to come, a "storehouse" for which we will all need His wisdom to manage and direct.

That closet represents God wooing us—wooing us to Himself, wooing us to His resources, wooing us to His purposes and plans.

After I wrote out this vision and prayed over it, the Lord had this to say about it:

It's time to wake up—oh, sleeper!

It's time to wake up—oh, slumberer!

It is time to wake up to Me!

Come, meet Me where we've met before. Come, meet with Me once more. Yes, meet with Me in the familiar. But know, the familiar is coming to an end.

For I AM preparing a new place for us to meet. I AM preparing a bigger place, an expansive, more established place. But you will only find this "new" place as you open your heart even wider to Me. (Find the end of you, and you will find the beginning of Me.)

Be quick, for I AM waiting. Be quick, for I can't hold out much longer. Be quick, for I can no longer hold back My resources. The "catch" is too heavy and burdensome on My heart. Be quick, for generations of souls are crying out to Me. Be quick, for this "move"—My move—is already beginning.

Be quick. Yet, be wise.

Yes, come for wisdom, for I do not want this "move" to end. No, I want it sustained—and I want you to sustain it. No more, "Here a little…there a little." No, this "move" is forever…until the end.

Therefore, you will need all that I have. You will need all that I AM. You will need all that I offer. And I AM offering all of Me.

Can you believe Me for that?

Jesus says, "Yes!"

Can you say, "So be it!"?

Before you answer—know, it will require all of you.

 

.   .   .

 

Now, as you read this vision and this prophecy—as you consider it and pray over it—know that this kind of supernatural provision from God typically comes on the tail of instruction from Jesus, just as He instructed Peter and the disciples to "Let down their nets for a catch…" And it is often instruction that is against all logic, against all reason, against all experience, against all "rules" of fishing.

Furthermore, in the case of Peter and the disciples, God's supernatural provision came on the tail of Jesus' instruction that required of them a swift response, a swift obedience—swift faith…faith that is already in place…faith that is ready to respond, ready to take action.

So, I encourage you to receive this vision and prophecy coming to pass in your life according to 2 Corinthians 1:20 [NIV]:

 

            For no matter how many promises God has made, they are "Yes"

            in Christ. And so through Him the "Amen" is spoken by us to the

            glory of God.

 

Jesus says, "Yes!" to all of God's promises, thereby bringing them into our world.

We say, "Amen [So be it]!" in response to Jesus, thereby bringing them into our life, bringing them into manifestation.
