Monday, November 03, 2008, 11:31 a.m. – Over the past couple of days, the Lord has been showing me many things – private and hidden – about people, mostly those who are in the public eye, but also about some people I know personally. I have spent some of this morning praying and crying; weeping before the Lord over these revelations and asking that the Lord guard my heart and mind and that he not allow any outside influences to come into my mind while he is showing me these things. I pray that I will hear the Lord clearly. And, I pray for these people, too.
Last night I began to record yet another message from the Lord when I fell asleep, but the Lord picked it right back up where we left off last night. This is what he gave me last night and then this morning:
Bumblebee
Lindsay Graham
High heels
Martha Stewart
Mandy Moore
Little girl dress and toys
Will Smith
Ralph Waite
Reference to gay sex – shudder
I looked up “bumblebee” and learned it is slang for “a male lover”, “amphetamines” and “whisky,” among other possible slang uses. Amphetamines do show up often in relation to gay sex and/or to sexual deviations, I have learned.
I have done internet searches on each name the Lord gives me to see if there is anything that would connect them with the gay lifestyle, and every one of these people, with the exception of Ralph Waite, have come up several times in connection with allegations of gay sexual relationships. Yet, the Lord keeps giving me Ralph Waite over and over again, so I trust the Lord will reveal what is hidden in his time.
Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Daniel 2:24-49:
Daniel Interprets the Dream
24 Then Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to execute the wise men of Babylon, and said to him, "Do not execute the wise men of Babylon. Take me to the king, and I will interpret his dream for him."
25 Arioch took Daniel to the king at once and said, "I have found a man among the exiles from Judah who can tell the king what his dream means."
26 The king asked Daniel (also called Belteshazzar), "Are you able to tell me what I saw in my dream and interpret it?"
27 Daniel replied, "No wise man, enchanter, magician or diviner can explain to the king the mystery he has asked about, 28 but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries. He has shown King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in days to come. Your dream and the visions that passed through your mind as you lay on your bed are these:
29 "As you were lying there, O king, your mind turned to things to come, and the revealer of mysteries showed you what is going to happen. 30 As for me, this mystery has been revealed to me, not because I have greater wisdom than other living men, but so that you, O king, may know the interpretation and that you may understand what went through your mind.
31 "You looked, O king, and there before you stood a large statue—an enormous, dazzling statue, awesome in appearance. 32 The head of the statue was made of pure gold, its chest and arms of silver, its belly and thighs of bronze, 33 its legs of iron, its feet partly of iron and partly of baked clay. 34 While you were watching, a rock was cut out, but not by human hands. It struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and smashed them. 35 Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were broken to pieces at the same time and became like chaff on a threshing floor in the summer. The wind swept them away without leaving a trace. But the rock that struck the statue became a huge mountain and filled the whole earth.
36 "This was the dream, and now we will interpret it to the king. 37 You, O king, are the king of kings. The God of heaven has given you dominion and power and might and glory; 38 in your hands he has placed mankind and the beasts of the field and the birds of the air. Wherever they live, he has made you ruler over them all. You are that head of gold.
39 "After you, another kingdom will rise, inferior to yours. Next, a third kingdom, one of bronze, will rule over the whole earth. 40 Finally, there will be a fourth kingdom, strong as iron—for iron breaks and smashes everything—and as iron breaks things to pieces, so it will crush and break all the others. 41 Just as you saw that the feet and toes were partly of baked clay and partly of iron, so this will be a divided kingdom; yet it will have some of the strength of iron in it, even as you saw iron mixed with clay. 42 As the toes were partly iron and partly clay, so this kingdom will be partly strong and partly brittle. 43 And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay.
44 "In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever. 45 This is the meaning of the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain, but not by human hands—a rock that broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver and the gold to pieces.
"The great God has shown the king what will take place in the future. The dream is true and the interpretation is trustworthy."
46 Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell prostrate before Daniel and paid him honor and ordered that an offering and incense be presented to him. 47 The king said to Daniel, "Surely your God is the God of gods and the Lord of kings and a revealer of mysteries, for you were able to reveal this mystery."
48 Then the king placed Daniel in a high position and lavished many gifts on him. He made him ruler over the entire province of Babylon and placed him in charge of all its wise men. 49 Moreover, at Daniel's request the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego administrators over the province of Babylon, while Daniel himself remained at the royal court.
My Understanding: God is the revealer of mysteries. He is the God of gods and the Lord of kings. As for me, these mysteries have been revealed to me, not because I have greater wisdom than other living men and women, but so that we may all understand this truth:
Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will (Romans 12:1-2 NIV).
I believe, too, that the Lord is showing us our future – this fourth kingdom spoken of in the book of Daniel that is partly made of iron and partly made of clay. It will be partly strong and partly brittle. But, our future, thank the Lord, does not end there. God has set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end (thank you, Jesus), but it will itself endure forever.
"Only Hope" / Written by Switchfoot
There's a song that's inside of my soul
It's the one that I've tried to write over and over again
I'm awake in the infinite cold
But You sing to me over and over and over again
Sing to me the song of the stars
Of Your galaxy dancing and laughing
and laughing again
When it feels like my dreams are so far
Sing to me of the plans that You have for me over again
I give You my destiny
I'm giving You all of me
I want Your symphony
Singing in all that I am
At the top of my lungs I'm giving it back
So I lay my head back down
And I lift my hands and pray
To be only Yours
I pray to be only Yours
I know now, (Jesus), You're my only hope
