A Prophetic Declaration over Australia
by Glenice Mills
Sometimes the Lord brings immediate understanding to what He is showing and other times it unfolds over a period of time. Everything is in His perfect timing and that timing can be down to the tiniest split second. That is when you know He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords and the awe and fear of Him takes a deeper and more profound revelation in the depth of your being.
The Lord has spoken to me in years past through the fireworks held in Sydney on New Years Eve. It is His personal word to me and also a prophetic declaration of what He is wanting to say and do over Australia. Last year was a serious year and He showed the idolatrous worship of false gods and religions as the declaration ‘Awaken the spirit’ was emblazoned on the harbour bridge. Sadly Australia is now reaping the consequences of this bowing to false idols. So it was with some trepidation and concern that I was feeling coming into this new year.
I did not feel like putting the television on and was happy to pray and wait on the Lord for what He wanted to reveal if He so felt to. It was seven minutes to twelve and the Lord said put the television on NOW! I put it on and that split second the commentator said, “The theme this year is MAKING YOUR MARK!!!” and at that moment a large red exclamation mark lit up on the Sydney harbour bridge. It was a revelation that was personal but over the ensuing weeks the Lord has been speaking to me about the significance of this declaration.
We are only in week seven in this new year of 2011 and what a year it has been so far!
Who would have thought as we ushered in the new year, there would be so much devastation and destruction happening in many parts of Australia? However, there is a reason for this.
The statement ‘make your mark’ is saying you have been hidden but it is now time to be made known. Making your mark is like a ‘dada!’ moment. It is a coming into prominence. Australia is in a ‘dada!’ moment. It has been divinely thrust into a high profile. The world is hearing of and seeing the scale of the floods, cyclones, and fires as the damage done is shown on the television and through the internet. Australia has been under the radar as far as world events go but the Lord is now exposing and highlighting this nation. It may not be how we would like it to be, however it is by the divine hand of God that we now come onto centre stage in world events. We are making our mark, as the Lord moves mightily. We have seen His might in recent times as the largest cyclone seen in Australian history formed out in the Coral Sea and hit Queensland and is now affecting other states.
It is now time for this nation to make its mark, positioned in prominence for the world to see. We have seen signs in the natural, however there is greater depth of meaning. It is also a sign in the Spirit. There are ones in Australia, particularly His apostles and prophets who are now going to make their mark on the world stage. No longer hidden! It is time for prominent positioning for your voices to go out to the nations!!! There is a reverberation sound echoing around the world that is saying: ‘Arise, the time is now for the apostles and prophets to be heard!’ There is an Australian sound going out, with an exclamation mark punctuation at the end of every statement being spoken! This exclamation mark is a crying out, a declaration of war!!! The exclamation mark is a seal, a seal of the Holy Spirit, of His endorsement that says: it is done!!! It is a unique war cry coming from a nation that knows what it is to endure trials and its sound is the sound of a warrior. It is also about the bigger picture of other nations also coming into position, however, it is critical that Australia go first. It is a forerunning nation, and the unique cry from the heart of God’s special forces in Australia must be positioned first! This is the arising of the true apostolic/prophetic that will walk with others from other nations to advance the kingdom of God in this hour in history. It is not only men who are being activated but a great arising of women who are positioned, ready to confront evil and to speak truth.
This is the arising of an Australian army, ready for battle. They are ones who know their authority, and their position in this great and mighty army. They are at action stations ready for the call to arms, ready to go as the Lord leads. It is no longer time to hold back but to stand ready for the assault forward.
It is interesting to note that at the fireworks there was also another prophetic sign, a confirmation of what the Lord is saying and doing. A few minutes after the exclamation mark, in the middle of the fireworks, a large hand was emblazoned on the harbour bridge. This animated hand was moving to the beat of the music and its movements were exact, each finger moving one at a time in clear defining actions. At times the thumb was moving and joining in with a finger. This hand is symbolic of the five fold ministry. Each finger represents one of the five fold ministries. The thumb represents the apostle, first finger the prophet as it points the way forward. The large middle finger is the evangelist reaching out to the unsaved, the ring finger is the pastor who love and care for the sheep. The little finger is symbolic of the teacher. The thumb is able to move to each finger representing the apostle who has oversight of all the other ministry gifts.
Ephesians 4:11
"And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to a measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting, but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head - Christ - from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love."
There will be a bringing out of ones who have been hidden but who will now be used mightily. They are ones who have yielded their lives to the dealings of God. All ambition, and self promotion has been killed in them so the pure word of the Lord will come through. They are ones that the Lord can trust to carry the true word of the Lord and preach it without fear and without succumbing to man’s agendas. They will not be bought, but will speak and confront and also train and equip the saints, encourage God’s people, and bring ones into greater maturity in Christ.
It will NOT be the arising of the false and proud caught up by the supposed spirit of the great south land of the Holy Spirit, but rather from the broken, contrite, humble ones who have endured and passed many tests in God as they have yielded to the leading of the precious Holy Spirit!!!
This word is a declaration, a declaration that says “It is now time to MAKE YOUR MARK!!! Do not tarry, do not hold back, but take your position in Me. Follow My leading, obey what I instruct, and I will position you to take back land the enemy has had personally and in the greater picture, the nations. You are part of My mighty army and it is now time to stand, hold your position and wait for the command to GO!!!”
Isaiah 55:11
"So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth;
It shall not return to Me void,
But it shall accomplish what I please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it."
It is interesting to note the Bible italicises ‘in the thing’ because it is in the thing that He is planning that He will put His seal upon.
The ‘thing’ at this time is the warrior cry that is to come out of Australia by the Lord’s chosen vessels, ones He can trust.
So MAKE YOUR MARK! MAKE YOUR MARK! MAKE YOUR MARK!
