Today, 12/19/19, my friend Mary Beth told me of a vision that she had. She almost didn’t mention it because she thought that it might be insignificant. In her vision, she was sitting at the feet of Jesus, then He led her to an old Jewish house. They went up the stairs together to another floor. This floor was completely dark. She sensed that there were 7 candles spread in a circle on the floor of the room, though she couldn’t see them. All of a sudden, Jesus lit all of the candles at the same time and they began to burn. The whole room was still dark, except the light the candles were casting on one wall. Then Jesus walked over to that wall and with His finger He wrote something on the wall. Mary Beth told me that she wasn’t able to recall or see what was written. She said she thought about it all morning but didn’t know the meaning or if it was even significant at all. Immediately God started to give me the interpretation. I said “Marybeth! He’s activating the church again! The 7 candlesticks represent The Church (Revelation 1). You went into the upper room of this Jewish house. This represents the upper room where the Holy Spirit was poured out on the Church the first time (Acts 2). As the body of Christ as a whole, we have been in a period of sleep and darkness (the dark room/ unlit candles), but He is waking us up and lighting us up again. This has to do with the fresh anointing/ the latter rain Holy Spirit outpouring (Hosea 6 and Joel 2). This also has to do with the call at midnight and the wise virgins lighting their lamps to go out to meet the groom (Matthew 25). Jesus wrote on the wall because in the scriptures, last time God took His finger and wrote on the wall, He was signaling a fall of one empire and a rise of another (Daniel 5). The same is happening here. Jesus is getting ready to set up His kingdom after he tears down this one. Later at night. I prayed and asked Jesus to show me what He wrote on the wall in Mary Beth’s vision. Immediately I was caught in a vision, I was in the upper room with Jesus and the candlesticks. He looked at me very seriously, turned and wrote the word ‘Susa’, then the vision ended. I knew that Susa was a place mentioned in the Bible. So I looked it up. ‘Susa’ or aka ‘Shushan’ is mentioned in three instances. Susa is where Daniel lived when he was under the rule of Belshazzar (the king who experienced the writing on the wall). Susa is where Nehemiah lived when he had the call to go rebuild and repair the Temple of God. And Susa is where Esther lived and became Queen! In all three times, Daniel, Nehemiah and Esther fasted and prayed to see a major move of God. What is Jesus saying? He’s saying “Rise up my anointed ones! Be a Daniel, operating in the Spirit for you are precious and desired by God. Be like Nehemiah, rebuild my Temple, The Church for it has fallen down and fallen away from its former glory. Stand like Esther, be my Queen, understand your authority and favor with the king, save the people from destruction for you were born for such a time as this!! I will be with you in the darkness. Can’t you see the writing on the wall?” (I also found that ‘Susa’ means ‘Lily’) Then I heard “I AM the lily of the valley, the bright morning star. Though you may walk through the valley of the shadow of darkness and death, I AM with you.” And I heard “With great power, comes great responsibility. With greater anointing, comes greater persecution and greater need for perseverance. For my sake, are you willing to count the cost? Time is short. Will you put your hand to the plow and not look back?”

Some things to pray about. We must test the Spirits. I would ask the Lord for a conformation with Scripture!
I researched some things about seven circle of candles and the Occult. Many different religions do use the #7 in different ways for many different spiritual meanings or pagan practices. The seven candles aren't the issue but being used in a circle, I would question. The enemy likes to pervert the things of the Lord! Hear is one New Age site that goes into some is this:https://realityofone.wordpress.com/2012/05/11/the-religions-paradox-the-seven-candles-of-unity/
Here is some info regarding the significance of the "circle": A magic circle is a circle (or sphere, field) of space marked out by practitioners of many branches of ritual magic, which they generally believe will contain energy and form a sacred space, or will provide them a form of magical protection, or both. It may be marked physically, drawn in salt or chalk, for example, or merely visualised. Its spiritual significance is similar to that of mandala and yantra[citation needed] in some Eastern religions. Traditionally, circles were believed by ritual magicians to form a protective barrier between themselves and what they summoned.[1] In modern times, practitioners generally cast magic circles to contain and concentrate the energy they raise during a ritual.[citation needed]
There are many published techniques for casting a circle, and many groups and individuals have their own unique methods. The common feature of these practices is that a boundary is traced around the working area. Some witchcraft traditions say that one must trace around the circle deosil three times. There is variation over which direction one should start in.[citation needed]
Circles may or may not be physically marked out on the ground, and a variety of elaborate patterns for circle markings can be found in grimoires and magical manuals, often involving angelic and divine names. Such markings, or a simple unadorned circle, may be drawn in chalk or salt, or indicated by other means such as with a cord.[1]
The four cardinal directions are often prominently marked, such as with four candles. In ceremonial magic, traditions the four directions are commonly related to the four archangels Michael, Gabriel, Raphael and Uriel (or Auriel), or to the four classical elements, and also have four associated names of God. Other ceremonial traditions have candles between the quarters, i.e. in the north-east, north-west and so on. Often, an incantation will be recited stating the purpose and nature of the circle, often repeating an assortment of divine and angelic names.

The Lord can use many things. But you do find circles on the floor with candles used in so many different witch craft practices. With 7 being used with candles in Voodoo and Wicca to name a couple.
