So over the course of two to three weeks, the Lord kept highlighting the number 919 to me. After seeing it consecutively two times, I decided to look it up.
In Strong's concordance (Hebrew) the number 919 means a breach. Breach in its dictionary definition means: an act of breaking a law, promise, agreement, or relationship.
I was struggling with why the Lord showed this number to me, and what breach he was referring to, so I just left it, until it showed up again.
When it showed up and I took notice a third time, I phoned a prophetic friend, and she pointed out that 919 in the Greek strong’s concordance means “Bar-Jesus” or false prophet.
Right after that call, the Lord began speaking. He reminded me that the last time I saw the number, that in the evening I had a dream about a well-known prophet with a ministry that I was familiar with but not actively following. As I remembered the dream the Lord highlighted to me, that what he was revealing in the dream was a man who was outwardly prophesying, preaching, and in public ministry but was living a double life and secretly engaging in homosexuality behind closed doors. In this dream this prophet was getting married, but had no genuine feelings towards the woman he was marrying - it was a coverup for his true lifestyle.
As soon as the revelation hit I checked my subscriptions and realized I was actually following this man on social media. I immediately unfollowed. I also saw that there was currently controversy surrounding him and a ministry event he produced, as well as other prophets calling him out for potentially living a double life. I took note of the number of followers on the page on that day, and looked up the number 111 which in the Greek strong's concordance means: lawless, abominable, illegal, criminal. This confirmed for me further the Lord’s sentiment about the lack of repentance. We only get to the place of lawlessness when we are so consumed with our sin that our hearts no longer acknowledge the cry for repentance.
I had to then look up the story of Bar-Jesus. Bar-Jesus the name literally means “son of Joshua” or “son of the Savior”; and the meaning immediately confirmed for me that the Lord was referring to the prophet in my dream but it was also a call for all of us to search ourselves. Bar-Jesus, also known as Elymas was a "sorcerer, a false prophet," who, when Paul and Barnabas came to Cyprus, was found in the company of Sergius Paulus, the Roman proconsul or governor. Bar-Jesus got in the way of Paul’s attempts to preach the gospel and opposed Paul in his attempt to convert the proconsul. But then Paul, "filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him," and cursed him with temporary blindness, calling him "son of the Devil" ("Ben Belial"); and "immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness," and he had to be led by the hand. The governor, "when he saw what was done," was converted.
Then I heard the spirit of the Lord say: In this hour I am bringing forth the judgment of Bar-Jesus or false prophets, and I am calling my people to come out from among them. There is a great level of deceit occurring within the body of Christ, and I am revealing to redeem my sheep who have fallen for this deception and to win the lost that they are preventing from receiving a pure ministration of my gospel.
Two days later, the Lord highlighted to me the number 452, which means Elijah or "Yah is God." Immediately I sensed the Lord was using the prophet Elijah to bring a contrast to Bar-Jesus.
And I heard the spirit of the Lord say: “As I bring about the judgment of Bar-Jesus, those whom I call Elijah will be promoted and elevated but not without the potential for persecution.”
And we know that the prophet Elijah is an excellent example in the Bible of a prophet who was able to endure and be faithful through hard times. He consistently had to deliver tough words that were not celebrated or appreciated, instead they were vehemently opposed. He challenged the prophets of Baal and the Lord made him victorious, He challenged King Ahab and ruthless Jezebel exposing them and calling out their wickedness. When they tried to kill him, he again was protected by the Lord and emerged victorious. He also was the prophet that the Lord used to perform miracles of the multiplication of the jar of flour and jug of oil - the last food that a widow had for her and her son, and also the resurrection of the widow’s son when he unexpectedly died.
I began to ask myself: who does the Lord call Bar-Jesus? And realized it is those of us who are in breach of the convenant he made with them and the spiritual office they carry. Those of us who are willingly choosing to profiteer, to deceive, and bring forth our own private ambitions using our spiritually giftings instead of being obedient to the will of God and the mandate to shepherd his people well. And most importantly, those who were using a source other than the Holy Spirit (whether it be divination, sorcery, etc) to gain information they used as the foundation of their prophetic words. When I looked at their stories I saw that the end of Bar-Jesus was suffering a fate of falling into spiritual darkness and literally blindness, while Elijah was literally raptured into heaven to be with the Lord via a whirlwind.
In 2 Corinthians 6:17 it reads: Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
Right now, the spirit of the Lord is calling us all to examine our associations and ourselves. Examine the ministries we are attached to, the clergy, the prophets, that we follow and pray for discernment. We should always proactively intercede and cry mercy for any who have gone astray to come into repentance, the Lord is moving quickly and does not want any of us who innocently or blindly following these people to fall under the same judgment of spiritual darkness. He also needs us to search ourselves, and be willing to purge any wicked way in us, and come to Him quickly for repentance when he highlights things that displease him.
Here’s a prayer you can pray regarding this word: Heavenly Father, please reveal to me if there are any connections, ministries, groups, or people I follow that you want me to separate from. Lord give me a heart to intercede for those who have fallen astray and not accuse them. I repent and renounce all forms of idolatry, including making a woman or man of God that I follow more important than you. I repent of any sins that I have committed knowingly or unknowingly. I give you my full heart and full allegiance, and allow you to move me away from and towards anyone or anything as you will. Father please increase my discernment, and ability to discern teachings that are not biblically sound or could lead me astray. Lord I asked for your grace and mercy, and the boldness to quickly sever any ties that you call me out of in Jesus Name, Amen.
