The Trial of Accusations:

I saw a platform type area, all covered in black fabric. As I kept looking, I could see that the platform went all the way around a small room and formed a sort of circular amphitheatre. It was full of seats, and each seat had a microphone at it and like a placemat in front of it. The seats were mostly full. As I saw this, I knew the seats were full of singers and that this was a court and the singers were trying or judging someone or something. The room had rows all the way up towards the ceiling and the thing on trial was at the bottom of the room on a small stage. I asked to go inside the vision and then I was sitting at one of the seats. There was like a desk cubby underneath the placemat in front of me and in it was a Bible, a pen, and a legal pad. Of all the singers, some were sitting on their chairs and some were passed out/curled up on the floor behind their chairs, and I knew they were encountering the Lord.

Different people were singing phrases from their encounters, and the things they were saying were the evidence trying what was on trial, which I felt like the Lord said was sin, disease, and death, but I also felt like what was on trial was “accusations” and looking at what was being tried, it was a dark creepy looking blob thing that was projecting outward. At first I thought it was accusations against the singers in the room and against each of their own hearts, but later I understood that it was also representing accusations against the Lord, and that it had first been called sin, disease, and death because those are all things in the world that accuse us of not really having a heavenly identity and accuse the Lord of not being who He says He is.

As the singers were all having encounters with the Lord, they would come out of their experiences and sing the things they had seen or experienced. They were all singing about the beauty of Jesus, and light was being produced in the room and fighting back the blob of accusations. As they were singing phrases about who the Lord really is, some of them were standing up declaring the truth emphatically.

Seeing this made me realize that declaring the reality of who the Lord is in worship is the only way to combat any accusation against Him or against yourself, because we have been born again in the Spirit of God(John 3:5-6) and accusations from the enemy can only really stand against our old nature, but when lies are being told to us about our new man, we have to answer from the reality of who Jesus is because that is the righteousness that we have now put on(Romans 3:21-22). I also realized that the only way to be able to declare this reality against the enemy is to encounter the Lord and allow Him to speak into your life, declaring who He is. Then you can take the knowledge of God that you have come face to face with and speak it out against the enemy.

At some point, I turned around and there was a bin inset into the wall behind each singer. In the bin there was a blanket and a pair of headphones. I asked the Lord and I felt like He said the headphones were for hearing the sounds of heaven, and I was confused because I didn’t understand why anyone would ever want to take them off, but I felt like He was saying it was too much to always hear. And I felt like the blanket was for either sleeping or for covering up with during the encounters.

At some point, I went outside and there was a table with clipboards on it, like what someone would have for sign-ups. I felt like the sign-up table was there to indicate that this reality of prophetic worship was available for anyone who is willing to say yes, or “sign up”.
