Catherine Brown: "A VISION FOR AUSTRALIA--THE HOLY FIRE OF JESUS' LOVE IS A CATALYST FOR REVIVAL"
"Rend your heart...." Joel 2:13
 I was recently taken into several visionary experiences regarding Australia, leading to God's promises of revival for the land downunder which I share below.
A Vision of Compromise
In the first part of the vision, I saw the Lord holding a crystal pear. Jesus lifted it up and it glistened with transparent purity. Holiness emanated like fire from the Lord, and the pear became engulfed in the white hot flames of Jesus' love. He then spoke to me saying:
"My child, My precious child, this pear represents Australia and the Kingdom fruit that she is bringing forth. My holy fire has become a catalyst within her land for the seeds of revival to bud and flourish. I am sending holy fire to judge and to save. I will not allow My Australian bride to be robed in compromise."
As soon as the Spirit spoke the word "compromise," I saw a picture of a huge gathering--a Mardi Gras type of event at which homosexuals and lesbians were congregating in large numbers. They were blatant and crude about their sexuality in the public arena.
I believe the Lord's word with reference to compromise, in part refers to the gay/lesbian Mardi Gras parade that takes place each year in Sydney. The Bible demonstrates that a sexual relationship outside of a monogamous covenant marriage relationship between husband and wife with God, and each other, is a sin and compromises a person's integrity before the Lord (Ephesians 5:31).
Jesus loves all sinners, but as a holy God, He cannot condone sin. In mercy, we cry out to God to deliver those who are caught in homosexuality and lesbianism into the purity and safety of a loving relationship with God. We pray that Australian Christians will be given wisdom and grace to love homosexual and lesbian people into the Kingdom and help them to rebuild their lives on the blueprint Jesus has prepared for each soul. At the same time, we pray for holy boldness and courage to stand up for Jesus' values in the public arena without individuals or groups being labeled as homophobic, religious fundamentalists.
The History of Sydney Mardi Gras
The Sydney Mardi Gras march first began on June 24, 1978 as a protest march and commemoration of the Stonewall Riots. (The Stonewall riots were a series of violent conflicts between New York City police officers and groups of gay and transgender people that began on June 28, 1969, and lasted several days. Also called the Stonewall Rebellion or simply Stonewall, the clash was a watershed for the worldwide gay rights movement.)
Although the organizers for the Sydney Mardi Gras had obtained permission, this was revoked, and the march was broken up by the police. Many of the marchers were arrested. Although most charges were eventually dropped, the Sydney Morning Herald published the names of those arrested in full, leading to many people being ousted by their friends and places of employment, and many of those who were arrested, lost their jobs as homosexuality was a crime in New South Wales until 1982.
The Sydney march is often attended by conservative Christian activists bearing signs with messages such as "Jesus still loves you." A 1999 economic study showed that Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras added AUD9 million (Australian dollars) to the New South Wales economy. Thereafter, the Mardi Gras organization struck financial trouble, nearing a permanent end until an anonymous benefactor arose to provide financial support.
A Joel's Army Vision of Praying Children
After the vision of the Mardi Gras event, the vision changed to a different scene where I witnessed many children around Christ. The children were hugging Jesus, and as He spoke with each one of them, their faces were exquisite with joy. Moments later, the children kneeled down with the Lord to pray, and I saw them becoming part of a "Joel prayer" army that was arising and going in and out from Australia.
I also saw a center for children's training and equipping being raised up. Australia is going to become known in the global arena as a forerunner for the equipping of younger saints. Seeds have already been sown in this regard, but much fruit is about to come forth in the end time harvest.
A Vision of the Aboriginal People
Aboriginals are one of the original or earliest known inhabitants of a country or region, and in the next part of the vision, Jesus was holding an Aboriginal man and woman with much tenderness. He spoke to them saying:
"I am your Father; I am your Brother; I am your Source. Release My people from their oppressions and the fear of what they do not understand."
The aboriginal couple wept tears of healing and received an impartation of the Father's love to fulfill the divine mandate they had received from Jesus. I then saw images of the Sydney Opera House with a message stating that there will be a "cross-cultural, indigenous tribal gathering" of significance held in this place.
 A Vision of Coral Reefs and Fish
Suddenly, the imagery switched to the Australian coral reefs. Tragically, I saw the reefs and many types of fish dying at an unprecedented rate. The Lord spoke to my heart and uttered these words:
"My people must pray. I am granting a 10-year window of mercy to avert global climate disaster in the pacific rim." (This would be in the context of the coral reef and fish.)
It is my understanding that warmer sea waters make corals suffer thermal stress, eventually making them bleach and die. Climate change such as increased sea temperatures bleach the coral reefs and as a result, smaller fish which normally feed on the coral, die off. Organisms reliant on coral could become rare or even face extinction.
God's word regarding a 10-year window of mercy, exhorts us to pray for the supernatural aversion of global climate disaster in the pacific rim and for preservation of the coral reef and fish that they support.
A Vision of Heavenly Music and an Open Heaven
The vision ended with a beautiful picture of musical notes coming out of the area of Perth. Their sight and sound was truly Heavenly! I saw angels, a Jacob's ladder, and the lovely worshipping face of Darlene Zschech. Hillsong church is based in Sydney, not Perth. However, this does not detract from the symbolic use of Darlene and Hillsong Church to point us to the interpretation that Jesus is building a platform of praise and worship from which He can release the sound of Heaven.
 This last vision speaks of an open Heaven and the promise of a glory visitation to Australia.
We bless Australia in the mighty name of Christ and rejoice in the promises of the Lord's visitation in revival to its land!
