I can recall years ago during the summer, working all day helping José dig a hole on our property to install an electrical telephone pole. As the day progressed, I kept looking anxiously towards the clock. I had an appointment at 6 p.m. to go and present the Ministry of United Intercessors to some Prayer Warriors who were interested in starting a "Prayer Troop" in their church. I had spent most of the day in mud up to my knees. I got home late that afternoon and still needed to take a shower and get ready to go to the meeting. I sat down on the edge of my bed and began to cry, “O Lord, I feel so inadequate, after working all day I feel as though I have nothing spiritual to give to these ladies.”
In His loving mercy, He gave me a quick and short vision to Encourage Me – I saw a fireplace with some ashes, but underneath the ashes there were still some small sparks of fire smoldering, then I saw this big hand pick up the fire poker. The poker had a golden handle, and that handle was shaped like a horse’s head. The great big hand holding the poker began to move towards the fireplace. It began to stir up the ashes and the smoldering fire that was about to go out. Small little flames began to shoot up. As the hand continued to "Stir Up The Ashes" with the poker, more flames came forth, and soon a Fire Was Burning. Then the hand took the poker from the fireplace and set it down!
I said, “Lord, what are you saying?” The interpretation came immediately. The Lord said, “Hilda, you are as the fire poker in My Hand, an instrument for my use and purposes. The "Ashes Represent" the "Fire Of Revival" and prayer in this country which have almost gone out, but, underneath those ashes are still some burning coals of fire that need to be stirred up. The burning coals represent the Intercessors. (Praying People) All I Need Is A Vessel To Work Through. You’re right, there is nothing that you have in yourself to do this work for me, but in MY STRENGTH you are to go and do my Commission of Prayer.” I quickly remembered the fire poker was shaped like a horse’s head. The Holy Spirit reminded me that the horse is a strong animal, and does exactly what his master instructs. He further said, “In this hour, I need strong people such as the workhorse, those who are willing to plow in my kingdom and I have chosen you.” -- Go and plow was my commission! He offered me no monetary reward, just His Encouraging Words and Much Labor. As I understood the vision, I got up from the bed with Great Joy, that my Father had chosen me to plow in His kingdom and of course, someday my plowing would bring "Great Fruitfulness" and, of course, I would also reap of my labor. It is so wonderful to know that we have a Merciful Savior who hears and Answers Prayer! To God Be The Glory!
