A Vision about Leadership

Disclaimer: The content of this post is based entirely on the vision of Shane Pippen and is shared here with his permission. It is not intended to accuse or identify any specific person or organization. The purpose is to offer this vision as a point of reflection and spiritual encouragement.

Shane Pippin shared his vision about a Christian Leader on FB on July 19, 2024. I asked him for permission to post this vision on my blog.

Last night, just minutes before midnight, I was pulled into a vision. I saw a prominent Christian leader. Then, as I was looking at him, his appearance changed. He was now wearing a Milwaukee jersey. Then, his head was transformed into a buck.

A buck is a male deer, antelope, or goat.

After seeing this transformation, God quickly began speaking clearly to me about goats.

These spiritual goats…

They have eyes but do not see

They have ears but do not hear (Jer 5:21, Ez 12:2 Mark 8:18).

They have been given over to a depraved mind (Rom 1:28).

Yes, they are sometimes seeing visions and dreams, and they are possibly hearing words, but they are mostly seeing what they want to see and hearing what they want to hear.

They think they are mighty lions in prayer and fasting. But they are really just goats, bucking and fussing.

They are proud, boisterous, and their lungs are filled with violence. Like Peter when he became suddenly filled with Satan, and he bucked against Jesus’ destiny. They are haters of God’s true will, His perfect way…they buck against His “cross” plan and command. These goats are frictional, and they house murder in their hearts. They have virulent tendencies. They’re dirtied by wickedness. They are distracted with their perpetual craving of this world, and their unethical perversions. They are mired in ever-increasing hypocrisy. They have become too earthly—dominion—minded to be any kingdom-of crosses good.

I heard God say, “I’m about to take the goats to court.”

Remember, the goats are the opposite of sheep, and sheep are what Christians are called to be (Matthew 25).

For clarity, I think the “courts” are both literal and figurative. I think many people that are being firmly separated into the goat community are going to also face many various legal issues as their crimes and sins are revealed and exposed. On the other hand, I think the “courts” will also be metaphorical, as in judgment is coming—they are being set aside for judgment. Jer 5:29a Shall I not punish them for these things?

Post script: 1.this morning I had an inbox message, inviting me to an upcoming event to be hosted by the minister I saw in last night’s vision. 2. I did not know until tonight that the Republican convention is happening in Milwaukee. Politics is the primary entanglement and sin of idolatry that has led many believers into ignorantly (unaware) becoming goats.
