Dream of Chico

In a trance I saw Chico before me. I heard someone say it was a peaceful city. Then suddenly a very vivid picture of a large military cannon and a troop of soldiers appeared before me. I knew that this picture represented the reality of the perceived peace of the city.

What the world perceives as peace is not the peace of the kingdom, but is actually aggressively antagonistic to it. God desires to bring true peace. His peace can only come as the prince of peace sits on the throne. There is a false peace movement arising in the earth, and despite its name it will be antagonistic toward the kingdom of God.

God has a true destiny for our cities. It will not be found in politics, science, or good intentions, but as the kingdom of God invades the earth. The only true peace will come from a revival of the reality of heaven on earth and the establishment of the throne of the Prince of Peace. The only hope for our city is for the people of God to awake to who they are called to be, and then to live that reality in every part of culture. You are the salt of the earth. You are the light of the world.
