During the last week of July, there were two occasions where I was given dreams and visions throughout the night. They were very specific and the Lord’s shown them to be an urgent warning to the Church.
The first night I saw demonic entities laying out all kinds of traps. They were being put everywhere; some inside homes; and others outside in yards or open fields. The traps were in various sizes and being carefully disguised and hidden. Upon awakening the Lord said:
“The devil is laying snares for the Saints!”
A couple nights later, all through the night I would suddenly see a big black microphone appear out of nowhere in my dreams. Each time the mic appeared someone would be standing and speaking directly into it. As they began speaking, the Lord would say, “The devil’s microphone.” After hours of seeing and hearing this, the last thing the Lord said was:
“These are the devil’s mouthpiece!”
What was being said through the microphones was from one end of the spectrum to the other. The speakers presented themselves as speaking on behalf of God. There were pastors, teachers, as well as regular lay members, all known by those around them as being “Christians.”
Some of the speakers were as smooth as butter. Listening to them, you’d never know anything out of the ordinary was going on in the world. They were not preparing their congregations for the days ahead; no calls for repentance and turning to God; no warnings to get their spiritual houses in order – nothing. Everything was status quo. Their message was to encourage everyone to listen to the governmental experts, that all would eventually settle down and be as before. God showed they were in fear of losing their position and status, as were the religious leaders of Jesus’ day.
Others came from an opposite direction, speaking of all things coming upon the earth. The messages focused on everything the kingdom of darkness has planned for Christians. A spirit of fear was going forth from them.
What the Lord’s showing is; the devil’s laying snares around every member of the Body of Christ, the likes of which we’ve never seen. These snares vary and are specifically designed for each one of us. But one trap in particular is being laid for all.
Head’s up! The devil desires to use YOU as his mouthpiece! It’s a double-sided trap; one for the speaker, the other for the hearer.
As we know, mouthpieces of the devil are used in general to deceive. Currently, we’re seeing a huge thrust to either lull to sleep; or for those already awakened, to paralyze with a spirit of fear. What’s especially effective for the latter are, “Look what the devil’s got planned for YOU!” messages (see ‘Prepare for the Fight’).
Do not misunderstand; there’s a definite distinction between those God’s called to be pastors, watchmen, prophets, etc., and the mouthpieces of the devil described above. When Jesus began His ministry, it says in Matt. 4:17, “From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” Jesus spoke of coming judgment, the need for repentance, and preached the good news of the coming Kingdom of God – as do His true servants today.
The Lord’s showing the same traps the devil laid out in an attempt to catch Jesus, are even now being set up again for His Saints.
“They sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to catch Him in His words” (Mark 12:13).
“The scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him…laying wait for Him, and seeking to catch something out of His mouth, that they might accuse Him” (Luke 11:53-54).
We are entering a critical time. Most have never encountered this level of spiritual warfare. I mentioned earlier how this is a double-sided trap. Not only do we need to guard our lips so as not to be used as a tool of the enemy to project fear, doubt, or anything not of our God; but of equal importance is the need to guard our ears.
Each of us has a microphone. Whether our audience is on the other side of a pulpit, or friends and family; words flowing from our lips, or being received through our ears from others, will either bless, or act as a toxic venom from the bite of a viper (Ps. 58:4).
Personally, I’ve recently been going through such severe testing in this area, that I can understand why some might choose to isolate themselves from the world and take vows of silence… But God’s plan is not for us to withdraw, but to follow the example and instructions of our Lord and Savior.
Jesus said He could do nothing by Himself, but only do what He saw His Father doing, and could only say what He heard the Father say. The night before His crucifixion, Jesus stressed over and over to His disciples the need to abide in Him.
Saints, abiding in Jesus is the ONLY WAY our words and actions will in fact be His. It’s the only way for there to be nothing in us the devil can use against us – or anyone else.
The Lord gave me a beautiful example of abiding in Him, which I plan to cover in a subsequent post (part 2). As we abide in Him, the rivers of Living Water Jesus spoke of will begin to flow into us, and then outward touching others. Suffice it to say, the kingdom of darkness trembles at the thought…
To Be Continued…
Please pray over this message for confirmation and further revelation.
Lord, help us see the urgent need to press in to You as never before. Help us see the need to come into the secret place to Abide with You forever. May we only say as we hear You say, and do as we see You do! In Jesus Name we pray. Amen!

Diana Pulliam has been a Christian since the age of 22, but it wasn’t until 2008, while going through an especially trying time, that she asked God what He intended for her life. She told Him she wanted her life to give Him glory, but didn’t see how it was making any difference at all for His kingdom. She asked Him to not hold anything back, she wanted everything He intended for her, and was willing to do whatever He told her to do.
Two weeks later, during her quiet time with the Lord, she heard the Holy Spirit say, “Clean your house and write.” The last few years, He has given her dreams and visions about the times in which we live. In 2011, she started the blog The Mighty Hand of God as a place to write whatever the Lord inspires.

Thanks for this critical warning. So much fear has been stirred up by the chaotic environment as well as biased prophecies. We need more microphones of the Heavenly Kingdom.
Just yesterday, an evangelist/preacher that I had respected was teaching that the future looks bright for America. The bad apples in our government are going to be indicted and righteousness will take hold. And he heard this message directly from Jesus. He claimed that Jesus said that there were good days ahead. We just need to be patient to allow this season of chaos to pass.
That message did not resonate at all. I thought that there was something really off.
Thank God for this word from Diana.
Sis.Diana,
This is such a confirmation of what I’m going through presently!
Praying for the Body of Lord Jesus Christ worldwide! Psalms 91:3!
See you in Heaven!
Isaiah 42:19 Who is blind but my servant,
Or so Deaf as My messenger whom I send?
Who is so blind as he that is at peace with Me,
Or so blind as the servant of the Lord? NASB
We are to see nothing but Jesus and hear nothing but the voice of Jesus, like Peter when he walked out on the water. The circumstances, no matter how strange they seem, become irrelevant in light of our relationship with the One True God.. As the old hymn states, “and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.” May we blind and deaf to all but Him.
Thanks for this confirmation, Diana. These same thoughts have been on my heart lately. May the eyes of our hearts be opened to the spiritual realities around us. May we not presume to know right from wrong decisions in a given situation unless we hear from the LORD. The apostle Paul did have Timothy circumcised even though he knew it was not effective for salvation. He actually taught the Galatians that “if you be circumcised, Christ shall profit you nothing.” (Acts 16:3; Gal. 5:2-3; Gal. 6:13). And the Holy Spirit forbade him to preach the word in Asia (Acts 16:6). One thing Paul did very well was hear from and follow the Holy Spirit. I desperately desire the same for myself, and all followers of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Again, thank you, Diana, for being faithful to the LORD.
Thank you for sharing this, Diana.
God bless you.
Yeah and amen sister. I find this especially relates to the work environment where a believer in Jesus may find himself/herself standing alone working only with pagans and unbelievers. One must be very wise and discerning as when to speak and what to speak. Just the other day I heard a fellow worker “trumpeting” the fact a guy who used to work in our group who was sent to another store had just be fired at that other store. I wonder why this was such a big deal, as if he was rejoicing over the fact this guy got fired. When I heard this I thought, my gosh how news travels in this chain of stores. Then I was thinking is this not possibly just gossip and hearsay, how do I even know its true? Then I grieved over this news as this guy who got “fired” had been a great help to me when I started working. Funny thing is the guy who was “trumpeting” the sad news has been riding a fine line himself and should count his lucky stars so to speak he himself hasn’t been fired! Take heart Christian when working in a work environment such as this, God can and will give you victory if you seek His face and pray to be victorious in this matter. A simple prayer like, God put a Holy Ghost inspired screen and guard on my lips here today, may I only speak when and what you want me to say! May I only speak words of life not death and may I not agree in any way with the evil one in and through the words I speak here this day.
Much wisdom in this Post to be aware of.. & seek the Father, Son & Holy Spirit in prayer.
Thanks for sharing Diana…look forward to Part 2.
You spoke of some pastors “smooth as butter’–saying everything is OK. There are several well-known TV “prophets” who do just that. They are part of Dominion Theology and say that the LORD will not return until believers worldwide take control of the seven “mountains” , or spheres of influence—business, education, politics. .etc. They have to get their people in control of every facet before the LORD Jesus Christ will return. this–of course–is totally against scripture—Matt. 24, Mark 13, Luke 21, the Books of Revelation, Daniel and others. They say Jesus will return AFTER the Millenium. Of course this is a total lie, but they are widely celebrated. And when Pastor Coverstone published his dream, different ones of those preachers analysed—and basically dismissed his conclusions. The one lady “Prophet” has the spiked blonde hair, and seems to be very popular.
I remember being taught about dominion theology back in the early 80’s as one of the last day’s theologies being taught. It’s been around a long time. But I think about Jesus saying in Luke 18:8 – when the Son of Man returns, will He find faith on the earth?
Sister Diana…peace/love of Messiah Yeshua… 2 Timothy 2:15…rightly dividing the WORD
