Across the street from where we live currently, is a house that recently sold, but has not yet been moved into. While walking the dog, I saw a raccoon in the yard of this house. I have lived in this neighborhood for two years and have never seen a raccoon, so I knew this was a prophetic statement of some kind, but I wasn’t clear what. I processed some ideas with friends, then this morning while walking the dog, the Holy Spirit spoke to me about this raccoon and vacant house.

Raccoon prophetically is a picture of an “opportunistic thief” according to the Divinity Code. I thought about this all day yesterday, wondering many things about this raccoon and where I saw it. Then this morning, as I walked by the house, the Lord said to me, “Opportunistic thieves take advantage of vacant houses.” Immediately the Holy Spirit reminded me of Matthew 12:43-45 “When a defiling evil spirit is expelled from someone, it drifts along through the desert looking for an oasis, some unsuspecting soul it can bedevil. When it doesn’t find anyone, it says, ‘I’ll go back to my old haunt.’ On return it finds the person spotlessly clean, but vacant. It then runs out and rounds up seven other spirits more evil than itself and they all move in, whooping it up. That person ends up far worse off than if he’d never gotten cleaned up in the first place. That’s what this generation is like: You may think you have cleaned out the junk from your lives and gotten ready for God, but you weren’t hospitable to my kingdom message, and now all the devils are moving back in.”

I was stunned by this statement and prophetic picture the Lord was showing me. Yet the truth of it all is undeniable. We are undergoing a drip drip drip of a national house cleaning, but we are about to experience a flush and fill of the likes that is going to blow our minds. The Lord is going to flush out the wickedness, clean the house of our nation and then fill us with the Spirit of God in a way we have never known before. All because He knows better than we do, an opportunistic thief is waiting to invade a vacant house and the Lord is not going to leave us vacant, He is going to fill us with the glory of God. We have been robbed long enough, it is time to be flushed and filled with the glory of God!!!!! We are the house of God as a nation, as a church, as a family.
