Prophetic Word: Time to Be Catapulted and Brought Online

The Lord has been speaking to me through the visual/analogy of a plane taking off for quite awhile now. In fact, He had me share a word about "takeoff" and "final checks" a few months ago. But, yesterday, He expanded on that message when He gave me a vision early in the morning of an aircraft carrier. That's all it was - just a picture of a large aircraft carrier sitting in the water - but when He had me look it up, He began to speak...

-Planes/jets taking off from an aircraft carrier get assistance (because of the short runway length) from a CATAPULT, which gets the plane up to high speeds in a very short distance.

-The carrier crew moves the plane into position and once all the FINAL CHECKS (see other word from September 22nd) have been made, the catapult officer opens valves that fill the catapult cylinders with HIGH-PRESSURE steam and the steam provides the necessary force to SLING THE PLANE FORWARD.

-The catapult officer carefully monitors the PRESSURE LEVEL so it's just right for the particular plane and deck conditions. If the pressure is too low, the plane won't get moving fast enough to take off and the catapult could throw it into the ocean. If the pressure is too high, the SUDDEN JERK could break the nose gear right off.

-The HOLDBACK keeps the plane on the carrier while the engines generate thrust.

-At the end of the catapult, the plane is RELEASED.

The Lord has moved his pioneers/forerunners into position. He has been running the final checks and HOLDING THEM BACK while He generates "thrust" in them (that feeling you have of feeling like you'll burst if you don't "get out there" soon!). As the "Catapult Officer," He uses PRESSURE to get you ready to "take-off." That's why things HAVE felt so intense and so pressure-filled. It is ON PURPOSE. God "turns up the heat" to create the "steam" pressure that will end up launching you into your purpose. And just like the officer with the planes, He is monitoring that pressure carefully. He is making sure it's not too low so you won't be me moving too slow, but He's also making sure it's not too high, so you won't "break" when you are suddenly "jerked" forward.

And now, He is about to CATAPULT you and release you. The meaning of "catapult" is "to hurl or launch something in a specified direction with great force, to thrust or move quickly or suddenly." Which is exactly what God is about to do with His pioneers - LAUNCH or SLING them forward with great force, suddenly.

The image of the slingshot also goes along with another word He spoke to me a couple years ago through the carnival ride by the same name. At that time, He had me watch videos on YouTube of people riding the Slingshot ride and pointed out to me how on almost every one, there were clearly two opposite reactions between the people riding it (it is a 2-person ride). Usually, one person was terrified, screaming and often, passed out entirely, while the other person giggled and smiled and wondered at the view from being up so high.

As you can probably already tell, the Lord was saying this will be the same case with the sudden and intense shaking He is about to do. It will be sudden, there will be great force behind it and it will feel like you are hurdling through the air with no safety net. But, for one group of people (those who are in alignment with the Lord), there will be joy, wonder and even laughter as they know it is His hand at work. While the other group (those who are not in alignment with Him - many of which, unknowingly) will be terrified, panicked and even faint at heart.

But, this word is specifically a word of encouragement and confirmation for the pioneers/forerunners. Because you ARE in alignment with God and He IS about to CATAPULT you into the destiny you have been waiting on.

IT'S TIME TO COME "ONLINE"

The other analogy/visual He has been speaking to me through is that of a computer that is about to be brought "online."

The expression "bring online" refers to any piece of equipment or functional unit that is CONNECTED TO A LARGER SYSTEM. Being "online" means that the subsystem is CONNECTED and READY FOR USE.

In "online operation," the input is communicated DIRECTLY and WITHOUT DELAY to the device. The operator and the device are in INSTANTANEOUS COMMUNICATION.

Also, in messaging apps, a person's AVAILABILITY TO RECEIVE messages is termed as "online" or "offline." And, in audio devices with a clock, an "online" device is one whose clock is UNDER THE CONTROL OF THE CLOCK OF A SYNCHRONIZATION MASTER DEVICE. When the sync master commences playback, the device AUTOMATICALLY SYNCHRONIZES ITSELF TO THE MASTER. A device that is "offline," however, USES NO EXTERNAL CLOCK REFERENCE and RELIES UPON ITS OWN INTERNAL CLOCK.

Again, you can probably already see where He is going with this. He is about to bring all of his pioneers/forerunners "online" - to where they are in perfect synch not only with Him, but also with one another. Where they truly have "one mind" - the mind of Christ - and move as one.

"Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind." -Philippians 2:2

"That together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." -Romans 15:6

"That they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me." -John 17:21

"They run like mighty men, They climb the wall like men of war; Every one marches in formation, And they do not break ranks." -Joel 2:7

These ones will not only be able to receive messages/input from Him clearly, but they will receive them instantly and without delay. They will be synchronized to Him and His timing and experience the "input" from Him about events in "real time" AS THEY HAPPEN.

"Real time" refers to a system in which input data is processed within milliseconds so that it is available virtually immediately as feedback. Where information is presented/communicated at the same time as the events actually happen, with no noticeable delay.

You are about to experience God's hand moving AS IT HAPPENS. In real time. No more delay. No more confusion or "static."

You are about to be catapulted and brought online!
