Bill Yount:The Jawbone of a Donkey
I sense this word is for all who have fought great battles and find themselves so thirsty for the Living God to be refreshed and revived. "A time of refreshing" is coming as a result of our intense thirst for Him in the midst of our battles.

Judges 15:15-19 And he (Samson) found a new jawbone of a donkey and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith. And Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of a donkey have I slain a thousand men." And it came to pass, when he made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi (the hill of the jawbone). And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, "Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?"

But God clave (cut open) an hollow place that was in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore (the spring of him who prayed), which is in Lehi unto this day.

A Fresh Anointing in Your Mouth

For God's people who have fought great battles, I sense new power coming upon your life and ministry. I sense you are going to find a "new jawbone" (a fresh anointing in your mouth) to destroy the enemies of God's people by the multitudes. The dryness will go as you seek a new, fresh impartation from the Lord for yourself.

God will be in your mouth teaching you to speak as though you have never spoken before, speaking His words with great power and authority. It will be known in many ministries.

John 7:46 "Never (a) man spake like this man" (women and children included).

Samson got so thirsty from fighting the enemy with that jawbone that he thought he was going to die. God cut a hollow place in that jawbone and water came out of it to give Samson drink to revive him. I see the Lord as though He is cutting a hollow place in your jaw (creating an empty place in our lives, giftings, ministries and good works).

When these even godly things begin to fill our hearts instead of Him, our mouths become dry and parched like Samson's did. But as we thirst for only Him, He satisfies our mouth with good things. For out of the abundance of a heart full of God, our lips become fruitful, releasing a "new jawbone" anointing!

God is creating a hollow (empty) place in us to increase our thirst for Him more than anything else. As a result of you opening your mouth wide with great thirst, He is going to fill you and give you a "new jawbone" that will revive many people and become a spring to multitudes. From the place of your "seemingly dying of thirst" will come forth rivers of living water right out of your belly!

I sense the Lord saying, "I will surely be in thy mouth. With a new jawbone you shall slay the enemy – heaps upon heaps! Get ready to kill a thousand Philistines!"
