Vision of the ox
David Balestri
This prophetic vision was spoken out at the “awakening business seminar” in Melbourne 4th of August 2018.
“I believe that this is a prophetic vision for the marketplace ministry here in Australia
I saw I saw a black ox with a crown on its head and a gold river pouring out of its mouth, the river that was pouring out of the mouth of the ox was landing into the hands of men and women.
As soon as I saw this vison, I intuitively knew a couple of things.
I knew the ox represented the marketplace ministry, as a matter of fact the image of the ox is found in scripture as one of the faces of a heavenly creatures.
Ezekiel 1:10 New King James Version
10 As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle.
The ox dimension represents an ability for industriousness, a type of strength that I believe has actually been missing in a large part of the church.
One of the reasons for this is because we had a false mindset of the sacred and secular divide for too long and so we disempowered the church when we did that.
This black ox had a gold crown which spoke to the kingly ministry that the marketplace ministry will restore to the church.
Revelation 1:6 New King James Version
6 and has made us [a]kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
The golden river represents resource and affluence
The river was landing in the hands of men and women, I knew that these men and women were actually leaders and heads of ministries in the body of Christ that would be equipped and empowered, and fuelled to get on with the work that's in front of them
I think sometimes the church gets in trouble with all its schemes of raising money because the marketplace ministries having taken their place yet or they weren't allowed to take their place.
I think that works both ways!
Then what happened was that I saw this ox was given wings, which I believe speaks to the maturing of the prophetic in the marketplace ministry
It began to fly to different major cities and find leaders and people that were on kingdom assignment and began to pour this golden river over them.
As this happened, I saw was that these regions started to come on fire
It was everything was ready, but when the golden river hit them it just made everything come alive, I believe that that's a picture of the assignment of why God is maturing and raising the marketplace ministry in this nation.”
I want to give you another scripture.
Psalm 92:10-15 Amplified Bible
10 But my horn [my emblem of strength and power] You have exalted like that of a wild ox; I am anointed with fresh oil [for Your service]. 11 My eye has looked on my foes; My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me. 12 The righteous will flourish like the date palm [long-lived, upright and useful]; They will grow like a cedar in Lebanon [majestic and stable]. 13 Planted in the house of the Lord, They will flourish in the courts of our God. 14 [Growing in grace] they will still thrive and bear fruit and prosper in old age; They will flourish and be [a]vital and fresh [rich in trust and love and contentment]; 15 [They are living memorials] to declare that the Lord is upright and faithful [to His promises]; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
Response to this word:
· Much of this current word has now been established and is being outplayed in Australia and the nations.
· Some of the world leading marketplace champions are currently serving the body of Christ in Australia, many leaders believe that this move of God will expand exponentially over the next decade.
· Churches ministers are awakening to the mobilisation and activation of kingdom businesspeople in their midst
· Specialised training ministries are flourishing in this marketplace space. Unfortunately there are opportunist ministries that are also popping up that look like a spiritual amway program.
