THE WOMBAT PROPHECY -THE PROPHETIC VOICE IN AUSTRALIA IS RISING
This may just be the strangest prophetic dream I have ever had, but also one that I feel is very significant for the Australian prophetic voice right now.
A few nights ago, I had a dream of a wombat leaning on my car by the wheel, burrowing itself into the ground.
When I woke, I heard the Lord say, “The wombat represents the Aussie prophets - burrowing and going deep; many don’t see them, they don’t make a lot of noise, but they are going deep to dwell. They are a different breed!”
THE SPOTLIGHT IS ON AUSTRALIA
As I continued to pray, I saw a spotlight over the earth, highlighting different nations; I saw someone move the spotlight to highlight Australia.
There is something fresh the Lord wants to do amongst our churches, and we have a huge part to play in unveiling this. I believe that the Lord has his eye keenly on Australia and that the Australian prophetic voice is in the spotlight in a more significant measure right now to build up the body and reveal the kingdom. I don’t need to be a prophet to discern this, and this is something that many people recognize in this hour. Still, I do feel an urgency for those of us who are Australians to become aware of this in greater measure and that the revelation of this will allow us to speak up with greater spiritual authority.
As I journaled this dream, I did a study on wombats, and here are some of the things I discovered:
GO DEEP!
They burrow deep – The Lord says, “The Aussie prophets know how to dig deep to mine the treasures I have for them. When others dig the topsoil, they go deep until they find the rich deep soil where the nutrients are – this is where real growth can occur”.
YOU ARE TOUGHER THAN YOU THINK!
Their hide is thick – in fact, it’s a form of protection because nothing can penetrate it! The Lord says, “You are stronger than you think; when you speak up, you will be protected, nothing will harm you – so step out with boldness!”
DIGEST THE WORD!
They have a slow metabolism – it takes them a long time to digest their food. The Lord says, “The Aussie prophets eat the word but digest it slowly; they take their time and allow the word of God to nourish their body for the long term – they are not interested in a quick fast-food fix.”
I WILL POSITION AND REPOSITION AND IT WILL TAKE OTHERS BY SUPRISE
They are unassuming. They are not pretty, like the kookaburra or the kangaroo – but they can suddenly arrive without anyone noticing because they don’t draw attention to themselves. The Lord says, “While many look for the seemingly ‘pretty’ things in the next move of God, I will position you in such a way that you will be at the right place at the right time. You will take people by surprise because I am the one who will position and reposition”.
NO ONE CAN BOX YOU!
Ok, this is a weird one :) - wombats have square-shaped droppings. I said to the Lord, “Lord, please don’t make me share this one!”, but I am being faithful to what He said to me. He said, “This represents that YOU CAN’T PUT A SQUARE PEG IN A ROUND HOLE. My Aussie prophets don’t fit the mould. They look different to the rest of the prophetic voices globally, and that’s just the way I like it”. No one can box you, so don’t box yourself. Be a unique imitator of Christ, and don’t try to be what you think a prophet should look like! You cannot be boxed!”
BE LIKE THE WOMBAT!
I also heard the Lord say, “Everyone wants to be like the kookaburra or the kangaroo because they symbolize beauty and strength; they are the emblems of Australia. But I am saying – ‘be like a wombat’! Do not try to fit the mould! Go deep, be strong, spend time in the word, and don’t chase the trappings of what a successful ministry looks like.”.
And the Lord says: “I am calling you to something much deeper; you are not to look like other international ministries. You must be uniquely you, and that will cause a ripple effect across the globe. My prophetic people, you have not missed the mark by being different and carrying a different expression. You are not behind the rest of the world - you have not failed! The voice of the Aussie prophets is rising according to my timing and rhythm, carrying my imprint on their unique voice!”
