WOMEN OF
COURAGE, ARISE
By Catherine
Brown
On Sunday 6th February, the Lord gave me a vision, which I believe was
for the women of Scotland, but also for women across the globe.
I saw a small group of women standing in a circle, holding hands.
They stood extremely close together and I noticed that they were very
different and I understood these women spanned the generations and the
denominations. This first circle was a forerunner - a statement of
unity in part that will come in full, to the Body of Christ.
The circle enlarged as I watched, and many more women came and joined
the original small circle. As the circle of unity was completed,
the women held hands and each of them pushed back their heads and began
to cry out to the Lord with all that was within them.
Immediately, a wall of fire surrounded the women. I heard the Lord
say "I, myself, will be a wall of fire around my people."
The wall of fire represented the holiness and fear of the Lord.
As I gazed on, the women ascended to heaven, still holding on to each
other's hands. An angelic escort received them in the heavenly
places, with many angels and chariots surrounding them. The main
host was a massive angel, whom I am certain was Michael. The sound
of thunder was all around, and this spoke of the coming of the Presence
of God. The sound became louder and louder, until it was almost
deafening and the fear of God gripped the women.
In a flash, the Lord Himself appeared in the midst of the women.
Each woman came before the Lord. Even although there were too many
to number, the women had a personal and intimate encounter with Jesus.
He cradled each woman's face in His hands and spoke "Well done,
good and faithful servant". On each cheek, he planted a
tender kiss. The favour of God was spoken forth over everyone.
Not one woman was missed by the Saviour; each was called forth and
commissioned.
To some women a beautiful garment was given. The garment shone
with the Radiance of the Righteousness of Jesus Christ. Each of us
receives the imputed Righteousness of Christ Jesus by faith at the
moment of salvation, yet as we are conformed and changed into His image,
as we walk the path of brokeness and sacrifice, I believe there comes a
point when the Garment of Righteousness is imparted experientially to
us. This was the garment that I saw. There were some that
had walked this path and these women received the garment from the
Lord's hand.
Each woman was equipped for battle. The angels were giving out
weaponry. The weaponry spoke of the nature and character of God.
The women received fresh revelation of the grace, of the mercy and of
the unchanging nature of God; the banner of Righteousness over them was
without blemish.
The women were then despatched to the north, the south, the east and the
west. They were equipped to wage war. There was a blinding light,
which was the Glory of God; His Shekinah was their hiding place.
The women entered the battle from a place of refreshing, hidden in the
Glory, equipped with strong armour, with a new revelation of their
authority in Christ Jesus. They had been called, commission and
sent forth.
I heard the sound of many horses, and the angels were released to fight
alongside the women. The sound of war was all around.
"Women of God arise. Women of weeping arise. Women of
courage and women of destiny come forth from thy hiding places, see thy
hiding place is now in My Shekinah. Your labours of love have not
been hidden from My sight. It is time to come out of your prayer
closets and to link up and to link arms across this land. Region to
region, My Spirit shall bring about divine connections and Holy
alliances. Many of you have felt as though My Spirit and My
Presence have departed from Your land, but see the season of bareness
has come to and end and the wilderness shall come forth from desolation
into fruitfulness. The spirit of Hannah shall release Samuel to
the nations. The spirit of Miriam shall bring forth the new sound
for revival. The spirit of Elizabeth shall birth many apostolic
sons and daughters who will prepare a people for the Lord, and the
spirit of Mary shall release faith and humble obedience as My Spirit
overshadow my children, to bring forth apostolic anointing. I have
not departed from you; I stepped back only in order that you might press
in for more of Me. See the wilderness shall bloom and you shall go
forth a mighty army in My Name. Women of courage arise, see your
Saviour goes before you and the hosts of heaven war on your behalf.
Take courage, humble yourself under My mighty hand and press forward in
faith for your destinies. Amen.
