I recently had a prophetic experience where the Lord showed me a hand gun. It was a revolver with a spinning cylinder style chamber. On the barrell was written the word “ministry.” I watched as the Lord began to take people and form them into bullets and place them in the chamber of the revolver.
After the people had been formed into bullets and placed into the chamber, the Lord would spin the cylinder Russian-roulette style and point the gun into a group of people. When He pulled the trigger, the “bullets” would go forth and cause a revival to break out.
I believe that this vision speaks of ministry teams of several people. I believe that the Lord is saying that the days of the personality cult in ministry are over. The season of men building ministries in their own name has drawn to a close. It is my belief that the next generation of revivalists will not be well-known preachers with huge platforms, but rather teams of apostolic warriors who are submitted to the cause of Christ. They will be nameless and faceless and rather than ambitiously building a ministry will be committed to advancing the Kingdom.
I believe that the Lord will utilize different team members under different circumstances to effect powerful ministry. This is what the spinning of the cylinder symbolizes. I also received interpretations for the following components of the gun itself:
The sights: Control the direction of the bullets. This is the role of prophetic counsel to the apostolic teams of ministers who will take part in the next wave of revival.
The cylinder: This is the place of prayer. It is the sole abode, qualification, equipping center, and desire of those who will be endued with power from on high. It is the chamber in which the combustion will take place that propels people to their prophetic destiny.
The gun powder: This is intimacy with the Lord. This is the combustible force that will fill the place of prayer (the chamber) and propel the projectile (the spirit-filled minister) down the barrel and into the heart of the people where they will be a catalyst for revival on an epic scale.
