I have had the privilege of being a part of Jill Monaco's prophetic journey. I have witnessed her maturity, accuracy and character to carry the revelation God is giving her.
I endorse Jill Monaco as a gift to the Body of Christ. I know her prophetic word here will really speak to your heart and draw you closer to God in fresh new ways. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)
The Lord spoke to me in a dream about what is dividing the Body of Christ and how we are to recalculate, so as to be wise to the enemy's schemes.
I had a dream where I was on the phone with a good friend, but we got interrupted and cut off. Then I got a call from the operator who was sent to give me a message from my friend. He said a few things at first which seemed OK, but one stood out and caused me to get angry. He said, "She won't listen to gossip anymore, so don't gossip." I was so angry for two reasons: First, that she would send a difficult message like that through someone I didn't know instead of telling me herself. Second, because I wasn't gossiping.

I went across the street to her house to confront her on this. I told her she didn't have reason to send me the message because I wasn't gossiping, and she should have told me the message herself instead of going through someone I didn't know. I also said that I'd worked on this issue in the past and was doing well. She was relentlessness and didn't apologize. She said she was getting ready to go on a mission trip overseas, and needed to set herself apart by going higher in her character. Then some other friends of mine came into the room and they heard both of our sides.
The Enemy Operator
The Body of Christ has been allowing the enemy to be the operator in our communication. The enemy has cut off communication and wants to communicate on our behalf. There are people who have been wronged or accused by a close friend; a friend who has allowed the enemy to communicate for them, to you, and you've felt the need to defend yourself. They are operating in a religious spirit that says in order for them to do ministry, they must cut you loose. They see themselves as better than you and you want others to take your side. This has caused great offense to come up in the Body of Christ.
Reconnect to God's Line – 3 Problems and 3 Solutions
Here is what has happened and how we can come back into agreement with God:
1. We've stopped talking to one another about grievances and allowed the enemy to carry and communicate for us. The operator in the dream is the enemy. He is the master operator of confusion and disconnection.
Our personal convictions end up becoming a tool to point fingers at one another. In other words, we've taken our personal convictions about sin and accused one another. We must take the log out of our own eye first. This isn't being done in secret or behind our backs. Rather, we've invited the enemy to communicate for us. The religious spirit blinds people to the sin of blame-shifting and not taking responsibility for oneself.
SOLUTION:
Instead of using non-confrontational and passive-aggressive ways of pointing out sin, we need to get close and communicate in a way the other person knows that they are still loved and valuable. We must recognize our own frailties and humbly admit we need help.
Sometimes we are struggling with things and someone we walk with makes it harder for us to get out of that habit. God wants us to know that the person is in your life on purpose. He put us together so that we would be like iron sharpening iron, and not one trying to hurt the other. The answer isn't to avoid that brother or sister but to help them.
The Lord wants you to know that when He shows you something like this in yourself and you start to notice it in others, come alongside them and pull them up with you. But all this is done when there is no middle man, and no opportunity for the devil to put his spin on it. We must get back to talking face-to-face. We can say, "Hey, I know we've done this (gossiped) together in the past but I want to go to a higher level and honor God and our brothers and sisters in Christ. Will you go with me?"

2. We've ghosted one another instead of embracing one another and thus have given power to a religious spirit.
