TRANSFORMED FROM WEARY ONES TO WHOLE AND VICTORIOUS ONES
A Word through Lisa Cooke (lisaCooke888@aol.com)

Not long ago, I had an Angelic Visitation and I was taken into the Heavenlies to witness what the Lord has been doing and is doing in many individual lives and in the Bride of Christ (His Church). This experience forever changed me, and brought me to my knees in a new place of humbleness and utter gratitude, to the Lord for His mercy, love and faithfulness.

INTO THE HEAVENLIES

An Angel of the Lord took me into the heavenlies, where I joined hundreds of thousands of Angelic Hosts who were awaiting deployment from the throne room. We all eagerly looked to the earth and watched as the events unfolded below. Many Angelic Hosts were straddling horses, watching, waiting and standing guard, ready to move at a moments notice if the Lord so directed to help the Saints below.

These were the protectors and the warriors. They had seen battle before and had been well prepared for their next encounter with the enemy. There was a soberness amongst their ranks, as they knew that the next battle would be one of the biggest and one of the last battles they would ever fight.

I felt such peace in their presence, realizing the battle truly is the Lords, and continued my journey in an attitude of Great Expectation for the season we as the Church are moving into.


ANGLES IN CHARGE OF COMMUNICATION LINES

Other Angelic Hosts were busy working on communication lines both in the natural and in the spiritual.

These were kept very, very busy as the enemy was sending onslaught after onslaught against the Body of Christ in the area relationships, both individually and corporately. They had their own special window to the events below. They watched intently and purposely as the events unfolded below them. As the plans (disunity and offenses-often fueled by pain, hurt and emotions) of the enemy were launched against the Saints below, and the accuser of the brethren was released, these Angelic Hosts quickly moved into action.

Other Angelic Hosts were dispatched to divinely intervene to bring forth reconciliation and restoration while still others worked around strategy boards and began to rearrange events, circumstances and situations. Their mission was clear-- that ALL THINGS MUST WORK for good to those who love God and to those who are called according to His purposes ----and Unity was their main theme. All throughout their ranks, songs of restoration, reconciliation and redemption could be heard.

ANGELS IN CHARGE OF PRAISE AND WORSHIP

I then came to another group of Angelic Hosts who were in charge of worship and praise. I found it difficult to look upon these as they so glowed with the Glory of the Lord.

These Angelic Hosts were passionate and their mission was clear--- to restore the Heart of David (Davidic Worship) within the hearts of the Saints below. I was caught up in a vision at this moment and I saw church services and ministry gatherings going on throughout the earth. As these worship teams Ushered in the Glory of the Lord I saw Angelic Hosts appear and release a special anointing.

I saw a sword released and on it -- it said "Ark of the Covenant."

As this sword was wielded, through the power of prophetic intercession, it tore through the veil and revealed The Ark of the Covenant, and it was then that entire congregations were ushered into the inner courts, into the Holy of Holies. It was also clear that this new sound being birthed from Heaven would not look like anything that had ever been witnessed or experienced before.

THE SOUND OF DELIVERANCE!

This new sound would so carry the Glory of the Lord, that it would bring about healing, deliverance and wholeness, that even those just passing by a church service or gathering as they worshipped would be touched by the Lord and drawn in off the streets.

This new sound would so instantaneously change the hearts of men and women that many would get saved through an experience during worship, because they would have a face-to-face encounter with their Creator, their Lord. It was in this area of the heavenlies, that I wanted to stay.

I felt so peaceful, so joyful and so at rest within my soul. I could have just lain down and just soaked in the Sweetness and in the Glory of the Lord, but the Angel of the Lord who escorted me urged me forward.

ANGELS IN CHARGE OF PROVISION

The next group of Angelic Hosts I encountered, were those in charge of provision (God’s Economy) and spiritual gifting. They were extremely diligent in their endeavors and steady in their work.

From my viewpoint, I saw on the far wall of their area the Words - Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self Control and I knew that as they imparted God’s good Gifts and His provision, that they were also given charge over implementing the Fruits of the Spirit within believers lives.

They smiled as they disbursed provision and gifting, and I could hear the chorus being sung, “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory…” I could feel God’s love, mercy and grace exuding from this place, but I also felt a soberness come over me, as I knew the Lord was calling His Church to a new level of maturity, discipline and holiness.

ANGELS IN CHARGE OR WHOLENESS

The next group of Angelic Hosts I came to were in charge of Wholeness. This is where the Angel of the Lord I was traveling with stopped and stepped aside.

As the angel departed, Jesus appeared and joined me.

"This is the message I want you to share with my Corporate Body," He said. He then stretched His hand forward and revealed the earth and I looked with great anticipation. My heart began to beat faster and faster as Jesus pronounced, "I am releasing a Healing Wave of Wholeness of great proportion upon the earth that will not compare to anything my church has ever seen."

I turned and looked at Jesus with such awe and reverence and it was then when my eyes met His eyes, that I saw in a new depth the love He had for His Bride and the power and authority behind that love. I wanted to run, laugh, cry, shout for joy all at the same time and I touched every emotion known to me, but all I could do was turn and look down at the scene below in wonder and amazement.

This is what I saw...............................

"THE LORD CALLED THESE, THE 'WEARY ONES!'"

I saw the saints of God below at various stages of their journeys, but the Lord was identifying a particular group of Saints to me.

The Lord called these the “Weary Ones”.

These were individuals, churches, and ministries who had been hit hard in many areas by the enemy, by life’s circumstances, by poor decision making, by the refining fire of the Lord, etc. They were physically, emotionally and spiritually drained.

They were so weakened by all that life had thrown their way that they had lost their vision, their faith and they had fallen into places of fear, hopelessness and despair, doubt and disbelief and in many cases death was knocking on their door (physical emotional, and spiritual breakdown). Many had fallen from the ranks altogether. Others had lost some of their positioning and still others were on the verge of just lying down, too weakened to continue.

HIS LOVE FOR THESE WEARY ONES

I began to weep at the sight and the pain of it all. I then felt the Lord's gentle hand touch my shoulder. I turned and looked to Him for comfort and for a solution to this painful situation that so many were facing at this given point in time.

What I found in His face was peace and in His eyes love for these weary ones. A warming smile appeared on His face and He said, "Now look below." As I did I saw the Angelic Hosts being released to divinely intervene on behalf of these weary ones. They carried provision, healing, miracles, deliverance, and yes an overwhelming Love from the very Heart of the Father.

FIVE SWORDS RELEASED FROM THE THRONE ROOM

I saw five swords released from the throne room and they were called Truth, Grace, Mercy, Love and Redemption, and when all these swords were brought together and positioned just right they created a large, extravagant and powerful sword labeled "Wholeness."

As these swords were released, I witnessed mighty new waves of healing and deliverance beginning to flow throughout the earth. Long-term illnesses and diseases were healed as well as may other conditions, emotional and spiritual root issues that had plagued individuals for years were being exposed and healed instantaneously. Delays in financial provision ceased and God’s economy was released and realized in the natural, generational curses were broken and generational blessings were released and realized in the natural. Spiritual gifts were cleansed, restored, activated and well as an impartation of new spiritual gifting.

TRANSFORMED INTO WHOLENESS!

One by one, I saw these individuals transformed and brought into physical, emotional, and spiritual wholeness. Their vision was restored, provision was released and they were equipped and networked back into position.

Some were positioned back into the same positions, never missing a beat--- and in some cases with new, fresh increased authority and responsibilities.

Others were repositioned to new church homes and new ministries. Some moved to new geographic locations. Whatever the situation was, in each case the words the Lord kept proclaiming from His mouth were Truth, Grace, Mercy, Wholeness and Redemption.

As the Lord spoke these words and they passed His lips, I then saw these words take on shape and form and they became as banners over each of these saint's lives. Then these banners became anointings over these Saints, their households, their churches and their communities……………

TRANSFORMED FROM WEARY ONES TO "WHOLE AND VICTORIOUS ONES

Theses Saints were transformed from the weary ones and became known as the ‘Whole and Victorious Ones”.

Many of these Saints now known as the Whole and Victorious Ones, the first fruits of this Mighty Healing Wave of Wholeness, were then catapulted to the front lines to help minister, facilitate and usher in this mighty move of God.

These were one’s that had truly captured the Heart of Father. He had seen their suffering, enduring years of pain, trauma, sickness and disease, facing hardship after hardship, experiencing seasons of testing and trials, and the Lord was well pleased with them for their faithfulness and obedience (although many felt less then faithful and obedient).

From my vantage point, I could see that their hearts were now beating in unison with the Father’s heart, and these Whole and Victorious Ones now carried mighty gifts of healing, deliverance, signs and wonders, empathy, miracles, mercy, grace and yes the Love of the Father.

I again looked back to the Lord and was greeted with a warm smile. An inner knowing rose up from within me and I smiled back. I turned and looking back down at the scene that was before me and I realized that this "Wave of Wholeness" was only part of the Great Anointing that was coming from the Throne of God (the Heart of the Father).

This Wave of Wholeness was sent by the Father to bring Wholeness to His Saints in preparation for the Great Harvest (Bride of Christ) of lost and wounded souls who are waiting for a new revived and strengthened church to receive them unconditionally through the Love of the Father.

And with this understanding birthed within me, the vision began to fade, and I once again found the Angel of Lord next to me. He simply looked to me, with a smile on his face and said “Wholeness” and with that the visitation ended.

THE LORD WANTS TO SHOW LEADERS THAT MANY ARE JUST WORN OUT

Along with this promise of wholeness, I believe there is a warning in this and that the Lord wants to open the eyes of Pastors, ministry leaders, and the Corporate Body at Large. Some of the God’s Kids, many of them chosen leaders for this time are plain worn out.

Clearly, one of the plans of the enemy is to try to beat down, wear out and take out God’s leaders, those currently in leadership and those being prepared, promoted and launched into it.

I believe there is a call to us as the Body of Christ to begin to take a physical, spiritual and emotional inventory of our pastors, ministry leaders, church and ministry staffs, and congregations ---and begin to implement a healing plan of Wholeness in those individual lives that the Lord is directing you to.

Let us not lose any more of our leaders or sheep to weariness, death, hopelessness and despair. But let us embrace this Wave of Wholeness the Lord is releasing into His Body and partner with the Lord to help facilitate the transformation of the weary ones into the Whole and Victorious Ones.
