During these cavernous months, it seemed like I was climbing
out of a life-time of darkness. When the Lord shined His light of Truth in the shadowy
recesses, I didn’t recognize myself! This is what stale grief and keeping parts
of your soul in darkness can do. It steals part of who we are. Kind of like the locusts in the Bible.
“So I will restore to you the years the swarming locust has eaten,
the crawling locust, consuming locust, the chewing locust… .” Joel
2:25.
The Arabs call locusts the “darkeners of the sun.” I found
some interesting correlations with these buzzing darkeners:

Biblical
Truth
|
Correlation
|
|
They occur in great number and literally obscure the sun (Exodus 10:15, Judges 6:5).
|
They block Truth (Son).
|
|
They make a fearful noise in flight (Joel 2:5).
|
They distract.
|
|
They enter dwellings and devour woodwork (Joel 2:9-10).
|
Consume destiny and gifts.
|
|
Water and sea destroys them. (Exodus 10:19)
|
Anointing breaks the yoke.
|
Did you know locusts cannot guide their own flight? They are
literally at the mercy of the wind. So I proclaim this day that these locusts
that have obscured the Light of Truth in my life are at the mercy of the Wind
of the Holy Spirit.
When the locust is blown by His Wind, we are promised new grain (provision), new wine
(joy), and new oil (a new anointing), and we will be satisfied (Joel 2:19).
