In a vision, I saw land that looked as if a destructive fire had moved across it. There were charred, broken sticks for trees, and it looked like a gray ash covering the ground. Sadness and death seemed to permeate the atmosphere. Looming over the land was a hard, dark, black dome-like ceiling that wouldn’t let any light through.
All of a sudden, I heard a “whoosh” sound, and at the same time I saw this fire shoot straight up out of the ground. It was a big, round burst of fire—about six feet wide. Standing in the middle of that blazing fire, I saw Dutch Sheets. Again, suddenly, another fire shot up right beside him, and Chuck Pierce was in that one. They both started speaking—I could tell they were talking—but when it came out through the fire, I didn’t hear words…I heard a yell, a simultaneous war cry. They repeated this sound many times.
Suddenly, there were similar flames of fire that began to pop up, and in them, there were singers and musicians with their faces lifted toward Heaven. They were singing these words with great intensity: “Open up, open up, open up the door to Your presence! Come dwell with us! Come dwell with us!” Dutch and Chuck continued to roar their war cry while the singers and musicians sang. All of this was going on as one voice, a unified sound.
Then there were more blazes of fire, and they, too, joined in. These were intercessors, teachers, pastors, apostles, and prophets, all releasing the same war cry as Dutch and Chuck. The singers continued singing the same song: “Open up, open up, open up the door to Your presence! Come dwell with us! Come dwell with us!” All these ministers in the fires were making adamant, forceful, aggressive, synchronized movements as if beating the air with their fists and marching with their feet. Their facial expressions and actions conveyed, “IT IS ENOUGH!”
All at once, there was one shaft of light that broke through from above, causing a hole in black ceiling to form. That’s when I noticed that the hard blackness wasn’t as thick as it had appeared to be. As pieces of it fell from the hole that the light shaft had made, I saw that the dome was only about the thickness of an eggshell. The pieces floated down kind of like a feather.
After the first shaft of light broke through, I saw chains and shackles fall out of the black dome. All the while, the ministers continued to cry out, and the singers and musicians kept singing. They all remained in that same attitude and stance. The number of participants just kept growing and growing in the land. Even though there were now hundreds releasing their sound, it wasn’t confusing or distracting. It was like one, unified sound. As this sound went up, it was piercing that black dome. More shafts of light started breaking through from above, causing more and more of the black ceiling to crumble.
As the dome crumbled, more chains and shackles fell out of that blackness, and I knew that the principalities and wickedness in high places were being affected because I heard them moaning and groaning from that dome. Chains and shackles kept falling like rain, and I knew that they symbolized bondages and evils that were intended to be unleashed in the land. But the sound that was coming out of those flames was shaking the bondages/evil intentions loose before they could ever be used or put into effect!
Suddenly, after many shafts of light had broken through from above, there was a sound that then came out of Heaven above that black ceiling. The sound was as the voice of many waters, and it was accompanying the angelic host who were saying, “Heaven is responding to your sound! Heaven has been waiting for your sound! Heaven is responding to your sound!” That sound and voice met up with the sound of the flaming ministers, singers, and musicians on earth, and it all just became one. It all worked together and swirled around together, forming a tornado-like wind that moved back and forth across the land until that dark, black ceiling was completely demolished, shattered, and gone. Heaven and earth had now aligned, and instantly, the whole atmosphere was changed, leaving complete light and total restoration in the land.
