AWAKENING IS COMING TO SLOVENIA

PART 1

My perspective on the condition of the churches in Slovenia changed a lot lately.


I have to admit I didn’t have the most beautiful picture. But one Sunday, when we were worshiping, I was taken in the Spirit and I saw that all the churches in the land were under the same authority of the victorious Lion sitting on the throne in heaven. He had many different books in his hands. The lion stood up. The books were opened. And there was no defeat. Only victory.


Jesus is a lion from the tribe of Judah, who has the books of the Slovenian churches in His hands.


He has a unique book for every local community in Slovenia. As churches begin to read from them, they will enter their own destiny, and will no longer compare themselves to each other because each has its own story, call, and vision, each has its own identity, different gifts, and authentic message.


These books will not only be open to pastors or leaders, they are given to the whole church. These books will not be open to guest preachers, no matter where they come from, or how powerful or anointed they are. We used to listen more to foreign prophecies and prophets who came into this land because it was as the churches in themselves were unsure about the access to God’s mysteries. They didn't realize that the servants of God who came, gave only fragments of the Word, the rest was waiting to be revealed in a personal relationship with God.


In some places, the smallest and outwardly insignificant will be the first to open the books and discover the treasures written in that particular book, they will enter into a new relationship with God, and this will open the door of destiny for entire communities. There are no rules for how communities will enter because each story is different and unique.


When local communities read from God’s books in Jesus ’hands and discover their identity, both spiritually and naturally, they will no longer hide, the authentic and autochthonous message of God will be seen and heard.


Growth will be organic and spontaneous.



PART 2


Two months ago, in the middle of the night, when I was waiting for some teaching online, I was surprised by a call from another continent. So far, with the lady who called me, I had only conversations regarding the organization of the online meetings that we do for Morningstar Ministries. She told me that she is sometimes taken to heaven, and she sees and hears strategies for national revivals. She said there is a great crystal tower in heaven with the inscription HEALING OF THE NATIONS. The tower is in the domain of angels, they are discussing strategies for healing nations. That evening she captured a fragment of the angels' conversation about Slovenia.


The nature of the conversation was partly confidential and partly open. She heard angels talk about strategies not proving effective in the past when power and anointing were entrusted to only one individual, they said that in this territory men do not know how to best manage the power when given to them by God. When they come to power or they are given any authority, they come out of the boundaries and abuse occurs. This is happening everywhere, both in the natural spheres of power and in the spiritual spheres, churches, and ministries. Therefore, they concluded, it is better for the power to be distributed and it will not be given again to just one person or church.


A new strategy has been adopted. MICRO CHURCHES.


Awakening is coming to the land. Small churches will spring up all over Slovenia, which will be strongly connected to each other. From the northern frontiers to the southern frontiers, from the eastern frontier to the western frontier, the whole land will be interspersed with communities, like bread spread with jam. Throughout the land, people will be touched by God's glory and power.


Angels also spoke of the need to repent for the abuses of past generations. If we want to see an awakening, we must repent for all the usurpation of authority caused by previous generations. it goes from the Counter-Reformation to Communism. When this, the last fortress, falls, we will be able to enter the beginnings of the national awakening.


PART 3


As I wrote down what the lady told me, I remembered a vision I had received exactly a year ago while praying in tongues at the house group.


I believe that Christians should stand together and pray because the work I have seen will be too great and too extensive for a single community. it will no longer be entrusted to a single person or community.


The Holy Spirit placed me on a very high plateau above Slovenia in an open vision.


Below me, I could see the whole landscape. I spotted a megalomaniac brown snake moving lazily across the land. Her head was so big that there would be enough room on it for a few basketball courts. The snake wore a giant white crown that surrounded it in front like a white marble fence, a lot of people were leaning on it, I think there were some 100 or 200 of them. It seemed to me that it was exclusive, influential, and important, for those who hold threads in their hands and consider themselves the elite of Slovenian society. Above the snake's head, they had a good overview of all that was going on in the country. The snake oppressed the cities with its body and distorted the landscape.


I was completely stunned by what I saw. I wondered if there was anyone in this world who could defeat such a large snake.


Can anyone do anything at all?


Then I heard the familiar voice of God behind me, and He reassured me quite a bit, and as if to go along with Him a little laughing. God told me to grab the snake by the head!


If I hadn’t had Alice in Wonderland in numbers like this, where it’s all a matter of perspective, nothing would have been clear to me at that moment. I stretched out my hand and the closer my hand got to the snake, the smaller her head became. Even all those people were getting smaller and smaller, small as fleas. When I touched the snake, it looked very helpless and did not measure more than 3 inches in width. I clenched her with two fingers and she was gone. Dead. All the fleas were scattered and disappeared.


As the serpent disappeared, people began to come from all over the land, talking about how God had visited them, as streams and rivers of water swarmed, coming and going. I saw pastors and other Christians calling from their local communities to other communities they had no contact with before, and asking if anyone could accept any more people. They were looking for where there was someone who could take responsibility for the groups to teach them about God because the rush on the churches was so great.


I have been praying for awakening for 25 years and “all together struggles I see little results,” so I almost didn’t dare believe what I was given to see.


But after that phone (or electronic) call, hopes returned and everything seems possible to me again, so I share the story.


"God, send workers to your harvest! Send those who will not care about ridicule and humiliation by the elite and the clergy clan who have maintained the appearance of piety but denied your power, roaring from their crystal pulpits but never content with your flock. Send your people who will have a different perspective. Send your workers to crush the snakes' heads."
