The Bear Will Lie Down With the Dog ?

Today I got photos from a friend in Oklahoma of a Polar bear encounter with a sled team of dogs.  She said, when she sent it, she felt God would give me a word.  As I received it felt it was prophetic, but needed to ponder it.

Tonight as I looked at the map , it took place in Hudson Bay in Canada at a place called CHURCHILL, Manitoba. Seeing the name, set off my curiosity.  Church – hill, and in it, the beast of a bear, a polar bear, not known for their friendliness in the wild, greets the sled team of dogs, with joy, and friendship gestures rather than fighting. It stunned the man who owned the dogs to say the least, I’m sure.

In the first photo you see the bear approaching and the dogs are guarded and ready to fight, but in the second you see the bear playing with his paw with one of the dogs. In the third, they actually are like hugging each other !  In the 4th photo the bear nudges a dog, and in the 5th one, they are like hugging again, cuddling. And in the last one, the bear is rolling on his back with the dog standing over him, like they are playing. The caption under the last photo it says “The Polar Bear returned every night that week to play with the dogs.”

Bear – is a symbol of evil, cunning and cruel men, or some nations
Dog – is a symbol of unbelievers, and Pharisees/religious hypocrites

Although the photos are an amazing unnatural happening.  There is a warning within. We go AHHH because it seems so unlikely and seems so nice. But in the spiritual this is speaking of the harlot church lying down with the beast system - Two natural enemies befriending each other.  The polar bear lies down with the dogs.  Then the Lord showed me another application tonight in a time of worship and repentance.  The last photo shows the polar bear on his back, the dog playing with him.

And I felt the Lord was saying …
“There is NOTHING I cannot change, and no one’s heart I cannot change.  It is so hard for you to see that sometimes with all the evil around you, but there is nothing impossible with me. Even those who seem like beasts before you are capable of being subdued by My power and majesty.  Trust in Me to show you who to pray for and who not. Do not go by your OWN
opinion or what YOU think. Seek Me for MY OPINION and WHAT I THINK.  Don’t waste your time praying for the unregenerate hearts who will NOT turn to ME if I don’ t lead you in prayer, then you are spinning your wheels for nothing.  ASK for My wisdom and understanding in prayer.  And just because I can do this, doesn’t mean I will do it in those YOU think I will.  I will have mercy on whom I’ll have mercy.

I know the heart that is weak and the heart that is strong.  I am greater than your heart.
1 John 3:20 NKJV  For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart , and knows all things.

Through My Spirit, many nations will be birthed in a day !  Many abrupt changes in leadership will change the fates of many nations.  Although most now are arrayed against ME and My servants, yet I will have a great harvest of souls before the great and terrible day of the Lord.  The dark continues to get darker. But the light that shines in you will explode into greater proportions of My glory, that will be SEEN on you.

Isa 60:2 NKJV For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you.

I am loosing the chains on My beloveds, I am loosing the voices of My prophets who have been in the wilderness. I am pouring out My glory in measures to those who are faithful, but soon it will EXPLODE and you will see many who have resisted repentance turn and repent of their sins, and transgressions and publically confess, and as they do, be sure that you do not judge unrighteously what I have righteously judged !  There are some who have been in the wilderness so long they have become hopeless and in a weakened state. PRAY for these, that they will be strengthened and renewed.  Many of those who are now in prominence have walked on the feet of those who have not been recognized in the church. But I tell you they are NOT beyond MY hand touching them.  So repent for any judgments you have made, and
Resist NOT My Holy Spirit.  For I’ve told you that if ANY MAN be in Christ, he is a new creation.

2 Cor 5:17-18 NKJV  Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation ; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation,

Are you walking in a ministry and heart of reconciliation that longs for that one who has failed to reach a place of repentance ?  Watch now, as I touch one, and then another, as I bring cleansing to My threshing floor !  For I am a GOD of RESTORATION, not destruction! I am not willing that ANY should perish.  How much more those of the house of the LORD – those of My heart ?  I know it’s a mess.  I know there is such perversion in the camp.  I know there is greed, lust, apathy and complacency.  BUT I AM ABLE.  I AM ABLE to change the hardened heart and to make them a softened heart.  Many will come under My judgment and go into wilderness times.  But be sure your OWN HEART stays pure and without condemnation of them, that you will not fall to the same chicanery of the devil !

I have MANY ELIJAHS in the wings, I have many GIDEONS that will bring down the powers of darkness that rip up the lives of people and steal from them.  I have many MOSES’ that will lead many into safe havens, and teach them the truth. I have TOO MANY CRITICS and too many spiritual cannibals that want to rip and tear at anyone who does wrong.  It is good to recognize error, and to discern.  It is good to know the truth from a lie, and who is teaching truth and who is teaching a lie. It is good to avoid the whoremongers, and deceitful liars.  I want you to PRAY, PRAY, PRAY - To WORSHIP and declare My rule and reign in the church. To bring down the GLORY till it overtakes you and overtakes those around you. WAR WITH WORSHIP !  DANCE and SING, AND DECLARE MY WORD !

Acts 15:16-17 NKJV
16'After! this I will return and will rebuild the tabernacle of David , which has fallen down; I will rebuild its ruins, And I will set it up;  17 So that the rest of mankind may seek the LORD, Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name,
Says the LORD who does all these things.'  

For as the glory is released, then I will have you CONFRONT the darkness and as you do it MY WAY, it will have tremendous effect - but not before I tell you !
I will use My prophets & true apostles to tear down the idols in My house, to restore the presence, to convict, to bring healing and deliverance to those who have been taken captive !  The enemy is raging because HE KNOWS HIS TIME IS SHORT !”

Rev 12:12 NKJV
Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time."
