I had a dream that I was informing the military officers to have their troops gather and process the locusts that were causing the current famine. They would provide clean protein sustenance during the next phase when the enemy would attack with war, thinking the armies were weak with starvation. While the population was looking at the locusts with horror and hopelessness at the decimation of their provisions, I saw the soldiers studiously spread out over the face of the land gathering the locusts like an army of ants and frying the locusts, freeze-drying them, grinding into powder for protein shakes, and a myriad of other forms of food processing and preserving from sunup until sundown. When the enemy attacked later in the season, thinking he had the strategic advantage, he was caught off guard by the robust, clear-headed troops and was swiftly overcome.
Identify your devouring locusts. Discern how they are actually God’s provision in disguise. Then get to work gathering the harvest and processing them into your provision for the next phase! Now is NOT the time to be sitting on your butts, but to be wisely processing your provision that will give you victory in the next phase.
Prov 6:3-11 AMP – Do this now, my son, and release yourself [from the obligation];[a]Since you have come into the hand of your neighbor, Go humble yourself, and plead with your neighbor [to pay his debt and release you].4 Give no [unnecessary] sleep to your eyes, Nor slumber to your eyelids; 5 Tear yourself away like a gazelle from the hand of the hunter And like a bird from the hand of the fowler. 6 Go to the ant, O lazy one; Observe her ways and be wise, 7 Which, having no chief, Overseer or ruler, 8 She prepares her food in the summer And brings in her provisions [of food for the winter] in the harvest. 9 How long will you lie down, O lazy one? When will you arise from your sleep [and learn self-discipline]? 10 “Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to lie down and rest”— 11 So your poverty will come like an approaching prowler who walks [slowly, but surely] And your need [will come] like an armed man [making you helpless].
Prov 13:4 NLT – Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper.
Prov 12:27 NKJV – The lazy man does not roast what he took in hunting, But diligence is man’s precious possession.
Prov 10: 3 The LORD will not allow the [a]righteous to hunger [God will meet all his needs], But He will reject and cast away the craving of the wicked. 4 Poor is he who works with a negligent and idle hand, But the hand of the diligent makes him rich. 5 He who gathers during summer and takes advantage of his opportunities is a son who acts wisely, But he who sleeps during harvest and ignores the moment of opportunity is a son who acts shamefully.
