Break the Clay Pot

I walk when I pray, movement helps me focus my attention when I am praying. I have a circle I walk in every morning as I pray, it is around the chairs in our living room. I also hold a yard stick, this is new to my prayer time but it has proven to be a prophetic symbol of what God is doing as I pray, so I walk and carry a yard stick as I pray. I tell you that, because as I was praying this morning, I stopped at one point and had the yard stick above my head being held with both hands. As I stood in that posture, I saw a piñata above my head in the spirit. I gazed at it and as I did the Holy Spirit said, look up the history of the piñata.

What I learned about the piñata is its origin is not Spanish but Chinese. The Chinese brought the piñata to Europe and the Spanish grabbed on to it and brought it to Mexico where it really took off in popularity, henceforth, where America picked it up from. The Chinese piñata was a clay pot filled with seed and they would use it as a time of celebration at Chinese New Year (Gong Xi Fa Chai) which happens late January early February. They would break the decorated clay pot which was filled with seed and the seed would fall on the ground as a sign of a good harvest for the next season.

Revelation comes in so many ways, today it came through the history of the piñata as the Lord immediately brought me to 2 Cor. 4 which says, “We have this treasure in earthen vessels, so that the surpassing greatness of the power will be of God and not from ourselves.” The piñata I saw in the spirit is filled with seed for the harvest of the earth and as we pray we are breaking that clay pot open so the seed inside can come out and we can have a harvest on the earth. There is a piñata above your head filled with seed, as you pray it is breaking and God is about to seed you with everything you need to advance His kingdom on earth. Sling your words up to heaven, grab your yard stick, circle your chairs, pray my friends, pray, the broken pot is reason to celebrate 🎉!
