The Lord spoke this phrase to me recently, and directed towards some things to look at to give context to what He wanted to communicate..
(Yes a lil lengthy for the big picture, yet actually still condensed! 😅 No rush, read when you're free lol, I promise it will/the Lord will bless you)
•Monument (Natural Definition) - A statue, building or other structure created to commemorate a famous or notable person or event. Synonym - Memorial
•The Latin word for Monument means, "to remind" (keep this in mind, pun intended, as we go along).
•Monument (Spiritually) A physical structure or marker that embodies sacred intangible truths, and acts as a gateway between the EARTHLY REALM AND THE HEAVENLY REALM; lasting reminders of God's faithfulness, divine protection, or significant spiritual events, that Anchors us in faith, hope, and devotion.
•Monument (Biblically) Monuments served as physical reminders of significant events, divine encounters, or newly made covenants between God and His people. These structures commemorated God's intervention, guidance, and promises.
He then highlighted 4 monuments for us to deal with/visit/look at/reflect:
Monument #1- "The Golden Calf"
Monument #2- "Lot's wife as the Pillar of Salt"
Monument #3- "The Bronze Serpent"
Monument #4- "The 12 Stones"
#1-The Golden Calf -And when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mount, they gathered themselves together unto Aaron and said, make us god's which shall go before us l, as for Moses, that brought us out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him. -Exodus 32:1
Often times, when we are waiting for the Lord to reveal something, answer something, move on something, or perform something, we can get restless. Sometimes we can take matters into our own hands..What the Lord is saying concerning this, is that it is representative of anything "we" have made an idol of knowingly, or unknowingly, and anything we have created, constructed, fashioned, built, or otherwise put together in our OWN strength, not by His Spirit..
The first week or two of March we all need to reflect to see if the Lord highlights any area like this in our lives. If so, the first thing we need to do is repent, but this is the critical part, we then need to give God PERMISSION to tear it down!😅 Crush it, dissolve it, burn it, do away with it however He sees fit! Sometimes before we can get to God having the space to build what HE WANTS, we have to be willing to Make Space, by removing what was built that We Wanted..🗿
Next,
#2- Lot's wife as the Pillar of Salt - But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt. -Genesis 19:26
What this represents for us is psychological and emotional monuments sitting in, lodged in, taking up space in our soul..examples of this could be death of a relative, a divorce, loss of opportunity, loss/dissolving/separation of Any relationship, whether friendship, business relationship, intimate relationship, ministry relationship etc..the Lord is saying, some of us can't see clear as to what's AHEAD of us, because we are too preoccupied looking BEHIND us, some of us may even unknowingly be longing for things that we have been separated from, and some of us are being "reminded" about too many thoughts from the past..What is Ahead of YOUUUU ISSSSS GREAAATTTRRRR!!! What we need to do if we find ourselves in this section of the bleachers😅 is ALLOW the Holy Spirit to DEEPLY IRRIGATE OUR SOULS! Spend time in worship, pour out your heart, Let Him drive OUT EVERY OLD THING, so the NEW CAN COME..🌱
#3- The Bronze Serpent - And the Lord said unto Moses, Make a firey serpent, and set it upon a pole, and it shall come to pass, that everyone that has been bitten, when he Looks Upon It shall live. -Numbers 21:8
What's powerful about this, is it was symbolic of Jesus being lifted on the cross, and the wholistic healing that He afforded into all who would look upon Him for such. So, this one is pretty deep..this is for any who have experienced long standing illness, sickness, ailment or disease..He is the God that Healeth ALL our diseases..the Lord would like to give you a divine encounter to look upon Him/Look into His eyes/Gaze into His Being..this is initiated and moved upon by Your Faith! Instructions are personal to whatever the Lord directs you to do! It does not have to happen IN March, you can have a testimony in April/May/June, but this is when the prophetic seed is being released, if this applies to you, Seek the Lord for direction! He desires to open a moment of Heaven touching earth for you!✨
Lastly,
#4- Monument of the 12 Stones at Gilgal -Joshua 4:19-23 Read on your own 😅
This represents for us the Lord bringing you OUT of Absolutely Anything that seemed to be a hard or impossible thing, and the testimony of that thing being a rock/a foundation for the conviction of your children's, and children's children(we will say as many generations until the Lord returns☺️)own belief and trust In God! In this we decree that the signs and move of God shall be so great in our lives, that it forever impacts the lives of our children, and that there REMAINS A LASTING IMPACT throughout every generation after us.
Father we thank You that Any way You desire to speak to us is profound, we thank You for giving understanding to the simple, we thank You for Your faithfulness towards us 🙌🏽 we thank you for loving us enough to correct us and giving us grace to align with You, we thank You that You will not leave any person faithful to Kingdom Lab or that receives this in want of You doing something Monumental for them in their lives, heighten our expectations and awareness of what You desire to do, and give us yielded hearts to embrace and cooperate with Your Spirit to see Your desires performed in Jesus Name!🙇🏽♀️
