"A Dream About the Snake and Witchcraft"
Megan Rotella with John Kilpatrick, Daphne, AL

Intro from John A. Kilpatrick:

I wanted to share a dream our children's pastor, Megan Rotella, recently had. We are in a strange season right now all over the world, but especially in America. That doesn't mean it is bad or even permanent. We are just in a different place.

I think every Christian realizes something has shifted, and this is encouraging! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"A Dream About the Snake and Witchcraft"
Megan Rotella, Daphne, AL

A Dream of Two Gates

On Sunday, January 20, 2019 at 4am, I had a dream in which I was inside a fenced backyard, and I saw a snake in the grass. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was the longest snake in the world—its length stretching for over one mile. It was moving slowly in the grass due to its size, therefore I felt no fear but I wanted to get out of the yard. The only way out was to go through a series of two gates. I went through the first gate and entered a holding area, which was in front of the second gate. I knew when the first gate finally closed all the way, the second gate would open.

As I stood waiting, I watched the first gate close. A voice then spoke and said, "Get rid of the witchcraft!" I found myself holding many trinkets, included jewelry and charms with elaborate designs. As I looked at them, I was trying to discern which objects were attached to witchcraft and which ones were not. I tossed away several, but the ones I was unsure of I held on to. The second gate then opened, and I exited the holding area.

It's Time to Kill the Snake!

The dream shifted and I was now in a house with many people. My family was there as well as people from the church. The snake which I had seen in the grass, had now come into the house and was slithering along the baseboards. It was so long that it simultaneously stretched throughout every room of the house. Upon seeing the snake, I felt regret toward the items I had not thrown away while waiting for the second gate to open.

Instead of killing the snake everyone went to bed. During the night, the snake continued to move throughout the house. As it stretched from room to room, its body became taut, causing it to pull away from the baseboards and cross my bed. I felt it bump into me, jolting me awake. While still in the dream, I yelled, "That's it! It is time to kill the snake!"

I ran throughout the house, waking everyone up to alert them. Several of us, specifically my father, went searching throughout the house to find the head of the snake. When we found it, we saw the snake shrink down to one foot long right before our eyes. Upon seeing how small the snake had become, we decided to let it live because we felt comfortable and complacent with its smaller size. Once we returned to our beds, the snake stretched back to its original length of over one mile. This entire process repeated several times before the dream eventually came to an end.

The Waiting Room

After I awoke from the dream, immediately I felt insight into the interpretation. The gated holding area is where the Church stands right now. Being in the midst of significant change, we have exited through the first gate. We are now in the waiting area, getting ready to go through the second gate—a new season in our lives.

In the brief transition from one gate to the next, the Lord is telling us to get rid of the witchcraft. This speaks to things we thought were okay to hold on to from our previous season, but we must get rid of them!

If we insist on holding onto such things, dragging them into our next season, it will be an open door for the snake to come into the house. Furthermore, we cannot become complacent with a snake in our house! We have to wake up!

Regardless of how small the snake may appear, we have to follow through and spiritually kill it. What is significant will appear insignificant to lull us back into complacency.

Lean into the Secret Place

In this hour, I sense a great stirring causing us to lean into the secret place, spending time with God. There is a new hunger for God, compelling us to "throw away" everything that carries no heavenly or eternal purpose. We are in a season where nothing else matters except Jesus! A new hunger is growing in us. It is essential to throw away the things that seemed okay to us in our last season: old thought processes, busyness for the sake of busyness, and meaningless things that consume our time. Some things we have allowed in our lives cannot stay with us because of where we are going. Many are realizing it is meaningless—all is meaningless—except for God! The only thing that matters is God!

"Pioneers Are Birthing - A New Path Is Upon You!"

Lana Vawser, Brisbane, Australia

I have had pioneers strongly on my heart and in this past week, the Lord has been showing me the "new paths" and the "birthing" that are upon pioneers right now. I saw a turbulence that many pioneers have been feeling. I saw a grief that many pioneers were carrying. I saw a restlessness and longing that many pioneers were sensing, and I saw the word "transition" over these pioneers.

I felt the Lord saying that many pioneers have come to the end of a season. The way that God has used you, the way you have pioneered, and what He has set up through you has been amazing. He has established much through you in the last season, but there is now a new season upon the pioneers. The new season upon the pioneers looks nothing like it has before. The Lord is about to move you in a way you have never moved. He is going to take you in a way that may seem bizarre to many.

A New Story

"This move of the Spirit will come through the family unit and will display the NECESSITY for healthy, strong, Christ centered family units. It will show the way to revival and a great outpouring of His Spirit—through the wineskin of FAMILY."

The Lord is accelerating things around you and within you because of the birthing that is upon you. I saw the pioneers taking new paths following Jesus. One thing I noticed about these new paths was that the paths were going against the grain. That's what a pioneer does: he pioneers something new. Yet, as the pioneers were following Jesus in the new path He was leading them down, I saw pages upon pages being filled with writing.

I then saw Jesus writing in this book as the pioneers walked with Him. Each step the pioneers took added another line to this story. I was surrounded by the sense of a new story that is being written through the pioneers right now.

I saw that forerunning spirit so heavily upon the pioneers right now. I want to encourage you pioneers: follow the way that God is leading. 

In the unexpected, unusual paths that the Lord is leading you down, you are going to see greater increase, favor, promotion and birthing upon what the Lord is doing in and through you than you have ever seen.

Confusion and Fear Hitting the Pioneers

I saw the whisper of the enemy coming against the pioneers saying, "That pathway...that can't be the pathway of God. That pathway isn't God." I saw many hearts and minds being hit with confusion and fear because of it.

However, I noticed there were angels on either side of the "new pathways" that the Lord is leading the pioneers down. The angels were declaring, "The pathway that makes the heart glad! The pathway of the King that refreshes the heart and refreshes the soul." I then heard excerpts of Psalm 18 exploding all around the pathway.

"When I was weakest, my enemies attacked—but the Lord held onto me. His love broke open the way and He brought me into a beautiful broad place. He rescued me because His delight is in me. He rewarded me for doing what is right and staying pure." (Psalm 18:18-20 The Passion Translation) (Photo via Wikimedia Commons)

"I have done my best to be blameless and to follow His ways, keeping my heart pure, I have kept my integrity by surrendering to Him and so the Lord has rewarded me with His blessing. This is the treasure I have discovered when I kept my heart clean before His eyes." (Psalm 18:23-24 The Passion Translation)

"What a God You are! Your path for me has been perfect. All Your promises have proven true. What a secure shelter for all those who turn to hide themselves in you! You are the wrap-around God giving grace to me." (Psalm 18:30 The Passion Translation)

Refreshing and Revelation Being Released

I saw the Lord releasing refreshing and revelation to the pioneers of the new pathways. Many of the pioneers have been in a place of battle for so long—breaking hard ground and stewarding what the Lord has asked them to steward. All the while the enemy has been coming against them relentlessly attempting to take them out. But faithfully they have sowed, over and over again.

They have maintained integrity and purity amidst the battle and amidst the onslaught of intensity of the past season. There have been many times they wanted to give up, but they continued to stay faithful for no other reason but their love and devotion to Jesus.

I saw that these pathways in this new season and new era upon the Church were such pleasant paths for the pioneers. It was bringing such refreshing and revelation but the pathway was full of hearts' desires and promises fulfilled.

I heard the Lord say:

"Pioneers, you have poured out and poured out and poured out for Me. You have remained faithful to Me. You have waited upon Me for your very own breakthrough and promises fulfilled while sowing into the lives of others and building My Kingdom. I am smiling upon you!

"You are now moving onto a pathway of a new season, a new assignment, a new mandate and a new pathway—but this pathway is full of reward. The enemy has been coming against you with confusion and fear, but this pathway before you has changed. It's a completely new place where you are learning to do things in a different way. Your heart shall overflow with gladness as you move into a season of greater ease where your hearts' desires and promises are FULFILLED.

"You will be carrying the harvest of the fulfilled promises and hearts' desires I have given you as you go. There are angels upon this path heralding joy, fulfilled promises, abundance and refreshing waiting for you in this new season. You are birthing something completely NEW but your heart will sing gladly in great joy as you see Proverbs 13:12 explode all around you. You will also see Proverbs 6:31 explode all around you as the thief that has stolen from you, is now commanded to REPAY SEVENFOLD!"

"Stay Hidden in Me and The Stones Won't Touch You. Keep Blessing Upon Your Lips and in Your Hands"

In this shift and new pathways upon the pioneers, I saw the enemy throwing stones and I saw words coming against the pioneers like stones from others. I felt the Lord say, "Stay hidden in Me and the stones won't touch you and keep blessing upon your lips."

I then heard the words of Jesus from Luke 6:27-28:

"They have maintained integrity and purity amidst the battle and amidst the onslaught of intensity of the past season. There have been many times they wanted to give up, but they continued to stay faithful for no other reason but their love and devotion to Jesus."

"But if you will listen, I say to you, love your enemies and do something wonderful for them in return for their hatred. When someone curses you, bless that person in return. When you are mistreated and harassed by others, accept it as your mission to pray for them." (The Passion Translation)

In the throwing of the stones by the enemy, stay hidden in the secret place. Stay in that place of deep intimacy, asking the Lord for strategy and for protection. Delight in Him. Feast at the table set before you in your communion with Him. The stones won't touch you! You will be hidden and protected as you stay deep in the secret place!

In the place of negative words spoken against you, in the place where others may speak negatively of the new pioneering pathway, bless them in word, prayer and deed.

He is Bringing the Focus Back Upon Family

Another thing I saw in the midst of the pioneer pathways was the Lord breathing upon FAMILY. The Lord is bringing the focus back upon FAMILY—family units and the family of God. He is highlighting the need for healthy, whole, family units and communities. The new wineskin God is birthing is all through FAMILY.

Where the enemy has come against family with his relentless opposition, watch the pioneers and watch the move of the Spirit. These pathways the pioneers are creating and forerunning are for the greatest move of the Spirit of God we have ever seen. 

This move of the Spirit will come through the family unit and will display the NECESSITY for healthy, strong, Christ centered family units. It will show the way to revival and a great outpouring of His Spirit—through the wineskin of FAMILY.

I believe that the Lord has showed me 2018 is the year of family. 

So much of what God is going to do is in and through family. His heart is FOR family and the family unit and He wants to display the beauty of how He created it. Many pioneers are already birthing and walking in new vision and strategy of what God is doing in and through family. (Photo via Free Great Picture)

Chains Are Breaking, Things Are Changing and Breaking in the Spirit – Heaven is Coming Down to You!

In these new pathways, the Lord is breaking the chains that have held you down, pioneers. The chains of limitation are breaking off you and you are about to soar like you have never soared before.

Things are changing and breaking in the spirit and in this new pathway of following Jesus on this pioneering track, you are making room for Heaven to come down. The turbulence and the thundering in the spirit is making room for the new.

There are going to be unprecedented demonstrations of the favor of God, the provision of God and the smile of God over you for following Him. For choosing obedience over opportunity. For choosing obedience over expectations of others. For following the leading of the Holy Spirit.

Do not be afraid, for the Lord is sending to you those with wise counsel and supernatural confirmation. They will continue to come to you time after time as you move down this pathway. God will do this so that you will know that you know you are on the right path.

The "out of the normal" pathway of pioneering is upon you. The change is going to delight your heart and you will receive a DOUBLE PORTION of increase, favor and creativity. You are going to see Him in a whole new way. You are going to receive His heart in a whole new way. You are going to receive His strategy and blueprints for this new pathway in a whole new way. This new season upon you is going to delight your heart and it will be CLEAR TO ALL that you have followed the pathway of God.

"Prepare your hearts...for war is coming." Maurice Sklar - prophetic word - Israel & His Bride - 10.15.15

"The LORD says, "I have made My nation of Israel like a mousetrap, and My city Jerusalem is the cheese. All nations much choose to either bless her or curse her. But, doesn't my Word say that every nation shall turn against her in the Day of the LORD? All nations shall finally wind up in the valley of Megiddo (the battle of Armageddon) to try to stop My Glorious return and to set up My Kingdom? 

I have told you so clearly in My Word the end from the beginning. I sit in the heavens on My Holy throne and laugh at My enemies in derision. Oh My people, hide yourself in My secret place, for the day of My Holy Judgment is here...prepare your hearts, for war is coming. I must allow peace to be removed from the nations, for the first seal is broken. 

I am taking back the earth, for it is Mine. Behold, you must choose now! It is harvest time. I am gathering the wicked in bundles to burn them. My harvesting Angels have been released into the earth. I will gather my people to Me. You must choose! Separate from Babylon and the darkness of this earth! I am coming for My Bride."
