I had a vision of something in the heavenlies over your land. What I saw was a great harp over the country. I knew it was in the heavenly and not in the realm in which we live our day to day lives in the natural. Immediately I felt that there was a specific song being sung in the heavenlies over your land and that it was very important for you to know this song and to enter into it, as that is where the Glory is released… if we enter into what is going on in the heavenlies. It had something to do with the harp.
I know it is very dark there now and there are some major strongholds over the land but it is interesting to note that when a people group is in total captivity then no song is heard or sung. Therefore, it encouraged me to see that the music of heaven is still being released over you all.
The key is entering into it, and so for that there needs to be some understanding of it. All day this vision was heavy on me and so I took some time, went to the Lord, and asked Him about it and did some research into the Word about it. I know the song in the heavenlies changes with the seasons, and we must change with that and not be caught up with just singing the Song of the Lord or the song of the Bridegroom…. there are many songs.
Because of the times in which we live, I was drawn to the Book of Revelation. First of all to Rev.5:8-10.
Here you see the 24 elders around the throne with their harps. They sang a new song, declaring to God who He was and his worthiness to open the scrolls and by doing that, setting in motion all that was to come. Then I went to Rev.14: 1-5 where it talks of the 144.000, the pure and undefiled and separated unto God worship around the throne. The sound came as many harps playing. They were a pure and honest people.
I was then drawn to Rev. 15: 2& 3 which is what I will call the Song of the Overcomers. This is a combination of the Song of Moses and the Song of the Lamb. These people also ministered using harps given to them by God. As they sang these songs, the seven plagues were released upon the earth. As they sang, from out of the glory came the release of all that was to happen on the earth. From studying this out and sensing the moving of the Spirit of God, I believe this is a strategic picture for you and maybe a key.
In Biblical times, the harps used were not the great ones that we see in the orchestras of this day. They were small, hand held items that were used when walking or dancing. I believe that God wants to release this kind of harp to your nation, to the believers there. I do not necessarily believe the song played will be a song of rejoicing, although God does give rejoicing to counter mourning and death as the Kingdom of God is an “Upside-down Kingdom.”
I believe that the song being released over you has to do with the end times and the greater plans of the Lord. It is for Papua, but it is bigger than that. It is to do with releasing the unlimate plan of the Lord, which involves the seven plagues. This is a hard word for me to share. However, if we truly want the purposes of God to be released then we must go with Him and what He has said from the beginning.
Our lives here are all about Him and his plans and He states very clearly of difficulty and suffering. However, there is tremendous glory that comes upon the saints only with suffering. A special glory.
Like I said before, there are many songs that are sung, but from this I would encourage you to take what I see before the Lord and ask Him for the song for your land. Although you are sensing the warfare even over your own team, there is something that is higher, and that is what God is releasing over you.
I must tell you that what I saw was gold in colour…depicting the glory, and also depicting only what is allowed to enter the Holiest of Holies in OT times. Now of course, grace and mercy enter the picture. But we are being called again to enter into Glory of the Lord and to move into that realm and then also to minster out of that realm.
