I have seen TWO dead crows in the past 24 hours.
A crow has always represented (to me) death, the demonic, and darkness. Several of my prophetic interpretation books say that crows (which are in the same family as the raven) prophetically signify “takers of spiritual sight.”
“The eye that mocks a father and scorns to obey a mother will be picked out by the ravens of the valley and eaten by the vultures.” (Proverbs 30:17)
The crows that try to hang around our yard are constantly chasing away the birds that we actually WANT here, such as the joyful kookaburras and numerous songbirds that live in the field and trees behind our house.
While I was a short-term missionary in a Muslim nation, the crows used to circle the Islamic mosques’ minarets at night, over and over again, in all types of weather. The missionaries there knew that this was a demonic sign. Even the memory of this creepy picture sends shivers down my spine.
Last night, after having seen both dead crows just hours within one another, my husband and I watched the movie “The Fellowship of the Ring.” There was a scene where the spies of Saruman (the evil one) were out looking for Frodo and the ring, and they came in the form of (you guessed it)…crows.
There seems to be an increase of these “spies” of the enemy as of late. These demonic spirits are sent on assignment to watch for any opening they can squeeze through, causing so much distraction, and in some cases disruption, that they actually end up stealing our spiritual sight and chasing away our joy and peace. These spirits do everything they can to abort the new song of joy that the Lord is wanting to put in our hearts!
If given the opportunity, they will offer an invitation to operate out of a worldly, fleshly spirit instead of a Kingdom spirit. They are on assignment to keep us from seeing the way the Father intends for us to see in this season.
My husband and I went for a walk yesterday, which is when we saw our first dead crow, and he jokingly made the statement, “Look at that… I guess the prophets have been around.” My husband is a recognized prophet, so although he was making light of this difficult scene, he fully understood the weight of what he was saying about this dead crow.
