Monday, December 01, 2008, 10:40 p.m. – The Lord gave me a vision in a unique way this evening, so I’m going to share it just like he gave it to me:
I saw the face of Anderson Cooper (CNN). Then the Lord put this song into my head:
Our God Saves / by Paul Baloche / from the album Our God Saves
In the name of the Father
In the name of the Son
In the name of the Spirit
Lord we've come
I heard someone say: “He (or we) thought you were (or he was) going to kill her.” The song was playing all during this, which is why I’m inserting it into the song.
We're gathered together
To lift up Your name
To call on our Savior
To fall on Your grace
Then, I saw the face of a horse facing straight ahead and then I saw the face of Anderson Cooper (same as the horse and as though the horse became him).
Hear the joyful sound of our offering
As Your saints bow down, as Your people sing
We will rise with You, lifted on Your wings
And the world will see that
[Til the world will see that
Til the world will see that
Til the world will see that]
Our God Saves, Our God Saves
[Our God saves, Our God saves
Our God saves]
There is hope in Your name
Mourning turns to songs of praise
Our God Saves, Our God Saves…
I spent some time in prayer down on my knees for my family, the church, our nation and the world for salvation. I was praying, “We need you, Jesus,” when this song came into my head:
Have Thine Own Way, Lord / Adelaide A. Pollard, 1862-1934
George C. Stebbins, 1846-1945 / Tune: ADELAIDE, Meter: 54.54 D
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Thou art the potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Search me and try me, Savior today!
Wash me just now, Lord, wash me just now,
As in thy presence humbly I bow.
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Wounded and weary, help me I pray!
Power, all power, surely is Thine!
Touch me and heal me, Savior divine!
Have Thine own way, Lord! Have Thine own way!
Hold o'er my being absolute sway.
Fill with thy Spirit till all shall see
Christ only, always, living in me!
I sang those words in prayer back to the Lord and then he gave me this song:
Search me, O God / James E. Orr 1936
Search me, O God, and know my heart today,
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts, I pray;
See if there be some wicked way in me;
Cleanse me from every sin, and set me free.
Lord, take my life, and make it wholly Thine;
Fill my poor heart with Thy great love divine;
Take all my will, my passion, self and pride;
I now surrender, Lord, in me abide.
O Holy Ghost, revival comes from Thee;
Send a revival, start the work in me;
Thy Word declares Thou wilt supply our need;
For blessings now, O Lord, I humbly plead.
I sang those words back to the Lord in prayer. This was a very worshipful time with the Lord in prayer and in just sitting quietly before him and hearing his voice speak.
Then, I saw what looked like a mechanical (or robotic) ant. It was sitting or standing in an upright position just like a man. It was eating something – I could see it chewing on something. Then it must have put something larger in its mouth, because I could see the shape of the object as it went down its throat. It reminded me of how it looks when snakes swallow objects or animals whole.
Reprise: “Our God Saves.” The image of Santa Claus is fading in and out of my mind. Then, I heard this song: We Need Jesus / Petra
When will the world
See that we need Jesus?
If we open our eyes
We will all realize
That He loves us
When will the world
See that we need Jesus?
When our hearts are as one
And believe that He's the Son of our God
The Lord is our God
And we shall never want
The Lord is our God
And we shall live forever
When we share the love of Jesus
See each other as He sees us
Then His love will see us through
His love will see us through
When will the world
See that we need Jesus?
When sister and brother
Love one another as one
When will the world
See that we need Jesus?
Will we ever understand
Jesus is the Son of man?
We must live in the shadow of His love
Then I saw Barack Obama and then Michelle. They were smiling. He was waving his hands high up in the air to the crowds. I heard the word “bomb.” Then someone joined hands with him and there were two arms and hands joined together in celebration of victory.
Then, I heard what sounded like a gun shot and then it appeared these arms of victory had been hit, they were down on the ground, and people were covering over them (probably Secret Service). People were running and scrambling everywhere.
Til the world will see that
Til the world will see that
Til the world will see that
Our God saves
Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening. I read Psalm 11:
In the LORD I take refuge.
How then can you say to me:
"Flee like a bird to your mountain.
2 For look, the wicked bend their bows;
they set their arrows against the strings
to shoot from the shadows
at the upright in heart.
3 When the foundations are being destroyed,
what can the righteous do ?"
4 The LORD is in his holy temple;
the LORD is on his heavenly throne.
He observes the sons of men;
his eyes examine them.
5 The LORD examines the righteous,
but the wicked and those who love violence
his soul hates.
6 On the wicked he will rain
fiery coals and burning sulfur;
a scorching wind will be their lot.
7 For the LORD is righteous,
he loves justice;
upright men will see his face.
