Recently in a dream, the Lord took me into a hoarder’s home filled with rubbish, old belongings and piles of stacked boxes, filling it to the point that I could barely walk through it. Then I heard the Lord say, “Prophesy to the home. Prophesy to the four corners of the home exactly like it says in Ezekiel 37:4-5”:
“Then He said to me, ‘Prophesy to these bones and say to them, “Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD! This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life,’” (Ezek. 37:4-5).
Sweeping the Home Clean
So, I began to prophesy and speak to the home. I began to speak God’s heart and intentions over every room of the house until suddenly a torrential wind entered and started helping. It came through lifting up every box, piece of trash and piece of clutter and blew it out of the house.
Then the Lord said, “I’m sweeping out the home, I’m cleaning it out and I’m going to shut the doors on the enemy where he has ruled and reigned; because doors have been opened, and families have been left vulnerable and wide open to the attack of the enemy.
“This is an hour that I’m coming to heal and repair generations upon generations of damage. And I’m restoring families back to their original design that I intended for them,” says the Lord.
“For many years, addiction and dysfunction have been the legacy of families, but this will be a season that I turn the enemy’s agenda on its head and begin to shift families into powerful kingdom legacy instead of the addiction and dysfunction and endless cycles. These families will suddenly step into blessing, into favor and into health.
“In a moment, I’m coming to sweep out the issues and the constant sicknesses that have been pervading marriages and families for generations.
“I’m coming to establish My kingdom in homes where there’s been open reign for the enemy to come and plant cancerous weeds.
“Yes, I am pulling out the weeds that have been planted and have been growing in the dark, where the light has not been allowed to shine—the unspoken conversations where sickness has been allowed to fester and grow for years—and I am shining My light upon them so that the weeds can be pulled out once and for all!”
The Box of “Lost and Found”
I saw the doors of this house flinging wide open as the wind of heaven blew through it. Then I looked over at a corner of this home and saw a small box. As I came over to it, I noticed it said, “Lost and Found.” In this box, I found scrolls and deeds sealed with family crests and family names. Inside of them were homes, promises of prodigals returning home, finances restored and a full bill of health. I knew that this box was the redemption of the war on families. It was the place of restoration for things had been lost and stolen.
This box represented the Lord’s plan to turn every assignment of the enemy on its head and flip the script for families who have faced endless warfare and robbery for generations. In its place, God is giving the deeds to clean bills of health in every way. So many families have had endless sicknesses coming against them, with illnesses running in their family lines for generations. I saw that there had been addictions and perversions and many sins that had been handed down from father to son and from mother to daughter for many generations; yet, in a moment, they were completely severed, and God was restoring health and wholeness.
I saw there had been a poverty spirit over families for many generations, and God was healing them. I saw prodigals coming home. I saw husbands who were returning back to the Lord. I saw that this box represented the season we’re entering into—the season of restoration for the family of God.
Restorers of the Breach
You see, the enemy has targeted the family. More than ever before, he’s brought his battle to the family “living room.” He placed this war in the living room for a purpose, because he wants to destroy and crumble families from the inside out. But the Lord says, “In this hour, I am putting a mantle upon My church to be restorers of the breach, and they will expel the enemy. They will throw him out; they will cast him out into the darkness, and they will build up the foundations that, for many generations, have been torn down!” says the Lord. And that is what He’s doing.
“And it shall come to pass in that day, declares the LORD of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off your neck, and I will burst your bonds, and foreigners shall no more make a servant of him.” (Jer. 30:8)
As I write this, I’m hearing the Lord say that there is deliverance coming upon you. There is freedom coming upon you where your family has been in torment for many generations. The Lord says, “In this hour, I’m taking off the reproach of many generations from your shoulders. You’re going to feel a yolk break off of you that has been on your shoulders for many, many generations,” says the Lord. “I am breaking the heavy yokes that have been around your neck and you will no longer identify with them!”
“They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations,” (Isa. 61:4).
