Lighthouse...Christian Dream and Vision Interpretation

[HumbleBee]

Given to Lillis Boyer

I was on the floor praying when suddenly I saw in front of me a beautiful turquoise/emerald pool. It was beautiful and its waters beckoned me. The Lord told me I needed to take a dip in this pool! He told me that there were many things in my life that He had forgiven me for, but I had not forgiven myself for. He told me that this unforgiveness had paralyzed my walk and faith. He told me that Sheep Pool, in John chapter 5, was a 'type' of this heavenly pool. According to the story, once a year an angel would come down and stir up the waters, and whoever was first to get in the water would receive healing. But there was one man who was lame, and had no one to put him in the waters. God told me that just like this man was paralyzed and couldn't move, so there were many in His church whose walks and faith were 'paralyzed' by unforgiveness, both towards others and themselves.

I crawled expectantly toward the waters of this pool, and as I did I could feel the warmth and steam coming from its surface. It was truly like a heavenly hot tub! As I plunged into the vibrantly colored waters, I felt a strong current, like a suction, coming from deep down somewhere under the waters. The Spirit spoke to me and said that the current I felt was coming straight from the Lord's heart, and it was His tender and holy forgiveness. As I lay there face down, I felt like His heart had magnetized my heart to His. My heart felt like it was literally 'glued' to His, and the two beat as one. Oh how sweet this feeling was...I wanted to stay there forever! Suddenly I saw a pure white foamy vapor arising around me, like a cloud. Instantly my spirit knew what this was...HOLINESS. The Spirit spoke to me and said ONLY MY HOLINESS CAN CLEANSE YOU FROM SELF-UNFORGIVENESS...FOR TRUE HOLINESS HAS TO FORGIVE!

Oh how I was undone! I began to weep, just to think that HIS holiness would be the very thing that could cleanse ME...a sinner, yet redeemed by the cleansing blood of Christ, through which His holiness and purity is manifest. God spoke to me and said DAILY come to Him, and let this pool of tender holy forgiveness cleanse me daily! And most of all to continue to allow my heart be locked and intertwined with His!

This from Yolanda Ballard...

I had a dream last night that many people were in a refuge type of place from the actions of war going on outside but there were many within the walls who had weapons of warfare upon them like grenades and they were threatening one another and people were becoming uptight even though they were in a place that was set aside for safety for them. When I woke up, the thought came to be that the people were antagonistic among themselves.

Antagonism - the state of being opposed or hostile to another or to each other; opposition or hostility. An opposing force, principle, etc; specifically, a mutually opposing action that can take place between organisms, muscles, drugs, etc. Enmity

Antagonist - a person who opposes or competes with another; adversary; opponent; a muscle, drug, etc. that acts in opposition to or counteracts another. Opponent

antagonistic - showing antagonism; acting in opposition

antagonize - to struggle against, to oppose or counteract, to incur the dislike of; make an enemy of

Do not become involved in antagonism from those in opposition to the Truth. Do not defend yourself. Let them talk and the Lord will vindicate you.

I will win them over by the love that will flow through you. For I am doing a mighty work within My body and those who are truly sensitive to My call will blind the enemy’s tactics by the love and glory that I will pour out through you. For these people who are opposing you are truly hurting within themselves and desperately need My love. They are trying to build themselves up by tearing down My own people.

Kristi added these verses...

Matthew 5:9-12 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for My sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

Ephesians 4:1-6 I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.

Colossians 3:12-17 Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

Romans 12:17-18 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men. If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.

2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.

Philippians 4:4-8 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

2 Timothy 2:1 You therefore...be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. (Read this means to be quick to forgive and impart blessings!)

1 Peter 2:19-24 For this is commendable, if because of conscience toward God one endures grief, suffering wrongfully. For what credit is it if, when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently? But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow His steps: “Who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in His mouth”; who, when He was reviled, did not revile in return; when He suffered, He did not threaten, but committed Himself to Him who judges righteously; who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness—by whose stripes you were healed.

1 Peter 3:8-9 Finally, all of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with blessing, because to this you were called so that you may inherit a blessing.

1 Peter 4:12-14 Beloved, do not think it strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened to you; but rejoice to the extent that you partake of Christ’s sufferings, that when His glory is revealed, you may also be glad with exceeding joy. If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you. On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.

Luke 2:10-14 Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"

Throughout this coming New Year, resolve that the surpassing peace of CHRISTmas be the melodic refrain reigning in your hearts and relationships!

By Bob Sorge

It's the secret place that lights our fire, that sets us burning. I'm talking about a white-hot fiery zeal for the face of Jesus and for the concerns of His kingdom. Jesus came to kindle a fire on earth (Luke 12:49) by which He intended to set us ablaze with His own fiery passions and desires.

To maintain its intensity, this fire must be constantly stoked by the intimate passions of the secret place. You are destined for fire. You will burn for all eternity--the only question is where. The longing of your breast is to be a living flame, ignited with the exhilaration of beholding His beauty, worshiping Him with uninhibited abandon, and deployed into the world with self-controlled, calculated zeal that does not love its own life even unto the death.

You have something to live for because you have something to die for. You long to be a firebrand of holiness, which is why you'll never be satisfied with status quo Christianity. God's word is a fire (Jeremiah 23:29), and His presence is totally engulfed in fire (Ezekiel 1:4, 27; Daniel 7:9).

When you approach God, you are drawing near to the great blazing inferno of the ages. To be set on fire, you must get close to God. When you feel cold, distant, and "out of it" spiritually, it's time to retreat to the closet, place yourself before the fireplace of His Word, and allow the intensity of His face to restore your fervency.

The secret to staying ablaze for Jesus is not in responding to altar calls (as good as they are); it's not in having someone lay hands on you and pray for you (as valid as that is); it's not in listening to a good teaching tape or the latest worship CD; the only source for staying white-hot is in devoting yourself consistently to the place-of-the-shut door. It's the place where "the spirit of burning" (Isaiah 4:4) ignites your soul as you gaze upon His glory with an unveiled face (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Do you desire a greater compulsion for the secret place? Invite the Burning One, the Holy Spirit, to ignite the eternal flame of His fiery jealousy in your life. The Scripture says, "The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously" (James 4:5).

The agenda of this yearning jealousy is that Christ's bride might be set ablaze with an exclusive and fiery passion for her Beloved. You can pray nothing more dangerously sublime than to say, "Holy Spirit, let Your burning jealously have its consuming way in my life, until every competing affection and false god is completely burned away and until one raging, all-consuming passion fills my entire being--love for the altogether Lovely One, the Man Christ Jesus!"

The book of Revelation describes the Holy Spirit in this way: "Seven lamps of fire were burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God" (Revelation 4:5). I have asked the Lord that the same might be said of me, that I might be described as " burning before the throne!"

As a man who longs to burn for God, I have looked at Proverbs 6:27-28 differently from the typical approach. Primarily those verses are describing the harmful effects of adultery, but its secondary application is actually descriptive of the secret place with God: Can a man take fire to his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? Can one walk on hot coals, and his feet not be seared? (Proverbs 6:27-28). When you draw close to the fire of God's word, you are actually taking the fire into your bosom--and the leprous, filthy clothes of your old life are being burned away. As you step into the fiery presence of His secret place, you are walking on hot coals--and your feet are being seared to walk in the way of holiness and righteousness and obedience. The answer to these questions is, "No! Take the fire of God into your being and everything about your life will be different!" It's impossible to embrace this living fire and not be changed!

Oh Lord, I pull Your fire to my bosom with fearful delight. John the Baptist was a man who burned for God! God took John into the wilderness in order to kindle a heavenly fire within him. When he was finally released into ministry, he was a living flame. Notice that in the following verses thrice Jesus asked, "What did you go out to see?" As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet" (Matthew 11:7-9). Jesus testified that the people didn't go to John primarily to hear something, but to see something. Jesus described John as "the burning and shining lamp" (John 5:35). John was a man set on fire from heaven, a man who incubated his love for God through a steadfast commitment to the solitude in the secret place, and thus became a shining lamp for the entire nation to behold. The people came from all over to see this fire. People are always attracted to a great fire.

Do something dangerous. Get alone with God! His "consuming fire" will burn away all from your life, until all that's left is love itself. This is our God, "Who makes...His ministers a flame of fire" (Hebrews 1:7). He'll make you one, too, if you'll let Him.

Hello,

I just wanted to put this up in case it may have meaning. In one part of my incoherrent dream I saw my self sitting on the floor wearing a black sneaker. My sister was angry because I was wearing her sneaker, I told her that sneakers are for wearing not for a displaying (I think that's what I said). Then I began to take it off. Pizza dream?

 

[HumbleBee]

Well, Missy...do you wear your sister's sneakers (or clothing of hers) without first asking her permission? If so, she would have a reason to be angry.

(God has been taking me on tours of His heavenly garden. Very soon I will start recording a CD where I will attempt to set these visions to music)

VISION OF THE TREE OF COMFORT AND COMPASSION

As I was basking in His sweet presence, I was suddenly aware of someone embracing me. The arms were not human, but they were more like translucent white 'wings'. It felt like they not only embraced my body but my entire being, inside and out. The Lord told me that this was the COMFORTER embracing me.

Suddenly I found myself in His heavenly garden. In front of me I could see a low tree or shrub, and it was loaded with giant blossoms of a buttery yellow color. The Lord told me that this was the tree of His comfort and compassion In between the flowers were an oval shaped 'fruit' The fruit was a lemon color, and was covered with a white fuzzy substance. The Lord told me that the flowers were flowers of His comfort, and the fruit was the fruit of His compassion.

God instructed me to stretch forth my hand and pick one of the fruits. Ohhhhh how soft this fruit was. It was softer than cotton, softer than the fur of a kitten. Instinctively I 'cuddled' this fruit over my heart. Instantly I felt Him say 'KNOW AND EXPERIENCE MY COMPASSION'. I cradled this fruit for a long time, and I could feel His compassion flowing, healing, soothing my heart. Then He instructed me to take a bite of this fruit. I squeezed it. It was soft, spongy, almost like a soft pastry. And oh the taste! It was sweet, and very delicate. He told me that comfort is the 'fruit' of compassion, and when compassion is fully mature it yields comfort. He also said that too many of His children are weak, impotent, lacking the strength of a warrior because they do not partake of His comfort daily. For until we are one with Him in eternity, our spirits grieve, and we need to daily let His COMFORTER comfort and strengthen us.

The shape of these flowers were a cross between a LARGE goblet and a magnolia blossom. The Lord instructed me to reach out and grasp one of these flowers. As soon as I touched it, it was as if magnitized to my hand. I couldn't let go of this flower, nor did I want to!! I could feel a warm strength flowing into my hands. The flower was like a giant bowl, yet there were wing like petals gently overlaying the 'bowl' shaped blossom. I could nearly put my entire face inside the center of this flower! As I did suddenly I could smell the fragrance of this flower. It did not resemble any fragrance on earth that I had experienced, but I can say it was clean, refreshing, warm and intoxicating. The Lord instructed me to spend a few minutes breathing it in, letting it 'soothe' my emotions. It was very healing.

I then proceeded to touch the inside of this flower. The inside of this flower was very smooth and soft. As my finger traced the contours of this goblet blossom sweet music came forth. In the center was a beautiful crystal like stamen. I cannot accurately describe the color of this stamen because it was unlike any color I had ever seen on earth. I could only see traces of violet, coral and pink in this heavenly color. But oh this stamen, it was pulsating with life! With every pulse there was not only gloriously sweet music that came forth but also a sweet liquid. It was as if the music was an announcement, a declaration that His sweeetness was coming forth! And as this liquid multiplied it formed into the fruit of compassion I described above.

The Lord then told me to stand up and dance around, holding a compassion flower in each hand. I held them high above my head, and each of them emitted a soft golden glow. As I danced my arms felt infused with strength. It was as if these flowers of comfort were Divine weights, infusing my being with Divine strength and joy!! Then as my dance became more and more exuberant, the Lord told me to release these flowers into the air. As I did they flew! It was as if they were dancing, flying doves (though they didn't exactly look like an earthly dove). They hovered above me as I danced in the garden, as if they were guarding, protecting me, yet they were joining in the dance with me. And when I put my hands out they would return, and 'land' on my hands, if I beckoned them to.

The Spirit spoke. My compassion, My comfort is not a sad thing. It is sweetness and strength to your soul, to your emotions, to your very being. It's healing. It's My sweetness giving you life sustaining courage and energy, vibrancy. There is no shame in asking for My comfort DAILY. My comfort is not man's comfort. It goes beyond kind words and gestures, even warm and consoling embraces. As you partake daily of MY compassion and comfort no disease can reign or prosper in your human body. And just like when you released the flowers of comfort and they took to flight, so you MUST daily release My comfort to the world. For only My comfort brings true joy! Only MY comfort brings release to the captives, and brings healing to the lame, and causes them to leap and dance like a hart! And MY Joy is your strength!

Hello,

I just had a dream of playing a beautiful melody on the piano. The dream continued with me waking up and telling my sister that I dream that I was playing this beautiful melody on the piano. My sister said she witness me doing it. I ask her how did she know? She says she saw the expression on my face and saw my finger moving like I was playing the piano while I was still asleep. After that I see myself in my living room where there were two or three pianos and my brother was there and I was showing him the melody. The dream ended.


I wonder if God can let me borrow this melody to write a song for him. I am a musician who play the guitar and my brother and sister are also musicians. What could that dream be saying?

 

[HumbleBee]

Missyjojo88!

Am certain God gave you that melody as inspiration to write a song for Him! Perhaps to sing it with your sister and brother. How pleased God is when brethren dwell together in unity...there He commands His blessing...even more so in praising Jesus!

Ephesians 5:19-21 Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.

Colossians 3:15-17 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

I saw a vision of many male lions sleeping.These male lions represent men who have call of intercession on their lives. They had fallen asleep, for many reasons, including fear, apathy, and discouragement. But I saw them stirring. The Lord was awakening them, calling them forth. I saw the Lord releasing and awakening these male lions all over the earth, in every community, city or village, no matter how remote.

I saw God setting these male lions as watchmen for their cities, jobs, even countries. They were lifting up their voices, and discovering a supernatural ability to pray they didn’t know they had; it was the ROAR of the Lord! God was supernaturally joining them to other men in their communities, and together they were lifting up their voices, a corporate ROAR! This corporate roar was shaking the earth, and toppling strongholds of the enemy.

I saw them forming ‘packs’ and invading villages, towns and communities. Like blood-thirsty lions in the natural these lions were being spurred on by the fervor of the love of Christ, and were drawn to the scent of HIS BLOOD; the blood of the Lamb! I saw them running, jumping, and lunging upon their prey, all the works of darkness. They would encircle camps of the enemy, and strategize their ‘hunt’ as a unit. God was supernaturally directing these lion hunters. I saw their huge, ferocious teeth tear and rip to shred demons and rulers of darkness. They would lift up their voices and roar in victory! Oh what a hunger these lions had. Hunger for His righteous, justice and truth!

Not all of the sounds these male lions were making were roars of victory though. I also saw them lift up their voices in the most horrifying, gut-wrenching cry. This cry is hard to describe in the natural. I can only describe this as a combination between a cry of lament, a howl and a roar, all at the same time. These lions were weeping in anguish over the lost souls of the earth. They were going from house to house, and awakening sleeping male lions. In these homes, however, they were also finding many male lions, fathers, husbands, who were covered with wounds. God was directing the strong lions to lick and tend to the wounds of these wounded, frail lions, and nurse them back to health. In many cases the strong male lions would even remain in the home of the weak lion, and guard his mate and children from the enemy. For a season, he would become a ‘surrogate’ father and protector of the household.

God was giving these male lion intercessors great speed and agility in the spirit. I saw them leaping and bounding great distances, from one high place to the next. There were large groups of them standing on high mountains. In unity they were together lifting up their roars in ear-splitting and earth-shattering roars. This unified roaring was shaking the earth, and even government officials could hear it, saying ‘WHAT IS THAT SOUND?’

The Lord said this releasing, and awakening of the male lions is essential to the release of God’s end-time glory on the earth.

Over the last few months it has been a particularly “quiet” time for me in the sense of hearing from God. Prophetic vision, wisdom insights etc have been few and far between. I believe, like in the Song of Songs, that the Lord seems to distance himself from us at times, and in most cases and certainly mine, He calls, encouraging us to pursue Him to a greater degree of intimacy.


I have been teaching and acting upon the priority for my life, to seek greater levels and times of intimacy with God, simply being in His presence, listening, loving and being loved. It is a time of change and a process of learning for me that is not without its battles and struggles, but a time of increasing wonder and desire.



In a time of sitting with Him last night, at a church prayer meeting not a private time, God spoke to me through a vision, as he so often does, which I am released to share. It was a corporate time and this simple vision was meant to be a corporate encouragement to the body to edify the saints.



As I have said, it was a very short and simple experience that spoke a simple truth and reinforced God’s commandment to us as a body.



I was with 7 other people, a family of 5 and 2 individuals. The significance of that aspect I am unsure about, symbolic of the church perhaps. As a group we turned up at God’s place, knocked on the door politely and were soon ushered in to His presence. It was not in this instance a formal occasion but a joyous time as we sat down at his table and enjoyed a meal with Him. Conversation flowed freely as did the jokes and the laughter. It was like a casual dinner with good friends with the warm feeling of sweet friendship that we have at those times, only much richer and more wonderful.



At the end of the meal, finding a rare lull in the humorous banter I sat back with a feeling of contentment as one does following a satisfying meal, and asked “Well, what shall we do now?”



“Let’s go fishing!” came the reply from our host.



With that, we all stood and were each supplied with a fishing rod. In single file we marched out of the house and over a grassy hill, each with a fishing rod slung over our shoulder. The remarkable thing about this scene was, that we had not waved goodbye to the Lord in order to go fishing. He came too, in fact He led the way. Thus endeth my visioneth.



I learnt from that that times in God’s presence are meant to be for fellowship with Him and we are meant to enjoy His presence as He enjoys our company. The response of spending time with Him is to witness for Him. Fishing for souls will always be, in this life at least, the response to having spent time with Christ. It is natural and enjoyable and the best part, the Lord goes fishing with you.



God bless you as you feast at His table, then learn how to fish.

FISHING IN THE MIDST OF THE STORM!
Snuggled deep beneath a warm comforter, I am sound asleep in my bed in Moravian Falls, North Carolina. The covers are pulled tight around my shoulders because of a sudden cold snap as the first prophetic event begins to unfold.

I was awakened by the sensation that the covers were being pulled away from my shoulders. Half asleep, my first impression was that my wife was trying to rearrange the covers. However, she lay quietly sleeping by my side. Quickly I turned to the other side of the bed, and it was at this point that the Lord spoke to me in a very firm yet gentle voice, "Get up! It is time to go fishing!"

STANDING IN THE STORM
The time was exactly 2:22 A.M. In this prophetic experience I was transported by the Spirit of the Lord from the comforts of my bed to an enormously large body of water.

Standing at the edge of this massive sea, the sky was awfully dark. The clouds were violently turbulent and the winds were swirling and blowing incredibly strong. Lightning flashed across the darkened sky and illuminated the storm-tossed sea. This was clearly not a tranquil, peaceful, serene setting but rather unsettled, troubled waters.

The waters were extremely stirred, with waves mounting high with white caps and foam. The raging wind caused the rain to sting against my face. As the lightning flashed and the thunder was crashing, the sound rolling across the waves seemed to be amplified. I shivered as the wind drove the rain deep into my clothes. It was one of the most tempestuous times I've ever experienced, but I could feel that this storm was more than just a natural storm. I could not explain it, but I could sense that this was a very unnatural disturbance I was
beholding.

MEAT FOR THE MASTER
Standing at my side, the Lord said, "I am hungry! You are to catch supper." Intensely, He was steadfastly gazing over the troubled waters. I knew He was expecting me to catch some fish, but I was thinking how hard it would be to fish in such a violent storm. It was difficult for me to even stand in the strong gusts of wind. Although I did not voice my thoughts out loud, He reassuringly said to
me, "This is the best time for fishing. Fish are more easily caught at this time."

A PLACE OF PERFECT PEACE
Then I looked more closely at Him and noticed that His hair was not being blown about by the wind. Neither were his clothes wet and flopping wildly in the wind, as mine were. Christ, knowing that I was now observing Him, said, "Come closer to ME."

As I moved ever closer to Him, the winds became calmer. When I came near to His side, there was a place of perfect peace and protection from the storm. He smiled, saying in a most comforting tone, "Yes! I am still the PRINCE OF PEACE."

Even though the situation with the wind and weather had not changed, there was a quiet, calm confidence in the Lord's presence. I wondered why I didn't come closer sooner. Looking deep into my eyes, I knew that He was expecting more from me than just standing by. I could sense that He expected me to get busy obeying His command.

THE HEART OF THE LORD
I was extremely ill-prepared to fish, so I said to Him, "I don't have anything to fish with...I don't have any bait."

He said, "You still don't understand. I AM the bait." He then slowly placed His right hand over His heart. Holding it there a moment, He extended His hand out from His bosom. I was not prepared for what I saw. There in His hand was a part of HIS HEART, and it was the deepest crimson red, almost purple. He placed it in my hand.

I was overwhelmed with the immense worth and value of just a tiny piece of HIS HEART. I could feel its eternal worth and value, and I knew at that moment that what I had in my hand was most precious. The statement of 1 Peter 1:18-19 filled my heart:

Forasmuch as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible
things, as silver and gold, from your vain lifestyle but with the
precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without
spot.

Truly God gave His very best to ransom and redeem fallen mankind. Christ Jesus is the ETERNAL LAMB without blemish or spot. He is the sinless perfect sacrifice. Words cannot express the worth of one single drop of the precious blood of the Lamb.

I could not think of casting this portion of His heart into the dark, troubled waters that were raging and roaring at my feet. Yet He instructed me, saying, "Cast this upon the water."

Now I was openly weeping, saying, "No, Lord, no! This is far too precious to cast away."

He said, "What you feel is right. Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy!" He filled my heart with the promise of Psalm 126:4-5: "Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him."

I looked at the part of the Lord's heart in my hand, and it now appeared to be a very bright orange, almost illuminated or glowing. He said, "Cast it out upon the water."

This portion of the Lord's heart was attached to His heart through my hand by a very thin, yet bright, scarlet line. I knew that I was to throw this as far as I could, with all my might.

THE HUGE SILVER FISH
I released it into the air. Because of its bright orange glow, I could see it clearly as it flew through the gusting wind. At the instant it came in contact with the water, an extraordinarily large shiny silver fish leaped out of the water, taking the object in its mouth. This was a magnificent, brilliant, beautiful fish, and the
lightning flashed against its shiny silver body. There was no fight or pulling against the line in my hand, but this enormous fish quickly swam to the shore at our feet.

This huge fish was extremely beautiful—solid silver. However, as I looked closely at the fish it appeared almost transparent. You couldsee into the fish, and it was filled with untold numbers of smaller precious fish.

I gazed into the face of Christ Jesus, and His face was radiating the most satisfying, pleasant, joyous smile. He spoke with great compassion saying, "For this cause I came into the world: the seeking and saving of lost mankind. This is the reason I've established my church on the earth—to reach mankind with MY HEART."

THE MULTIPLYING FISH
He questioned me, asking, "Do you know how big this fish is?"

I somehow knew this was a 55-pound fish. I said, "Yes, it weights 55 pounds."

"Yes," He replied, "but it is 55 X 55." At these words, the fish would multiply in size each time it was touched.

THE MASTER'S MEAT
He said, "Pick up the fish and place it into MY HANDS." When I placed the fish into His hands, Christ placed the fish into His heart, saying, "This is the meat I have to eat of."

I was thrilled and sad at the same moment—thrilled because of the immense pleasure the Lord was having, yet sad at the thought that I didn't have any more of the "special bait." Knowing my every thought, He said, "You will always have MY HEART from MY HAND if you will come to Me. The more you give away, the more you receive."

Words could not describe the contentment I felt as I stood on these shores with Christ. I could see, without a doubt, that bringing people to Christ is the highest calling one could ever undertake. Nothing we do will bring more pleasure to Christ than presenting to HIM the souls for which He died. These are the most brilliant crowns that we will one day lay at His feet.

Now is harvest time! Only as we follow Christ can He make us to become true "fishers of men"! This is the greatest task one could ever give himself to.

Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters, for after many days you will find it again.

Isaiah 9:6-7 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.

Isaiah 26:3-4 You will keep in perfect peace him whose mind is steadfast, because he trusts in you. Trust in the LORD forever, for the LORD, the LORD, is the Rock eternal.

Isaiah 53:3-5 He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces He was despised, and we esteemed Him not. Surely He took up our infirmities and carried our sorrows, yet we considered Him stricken by God, smitten by Him, and afflicted. But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed.

Matthew 4:19-20 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him.

Matthew 9:36-38 But when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith He unto His disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that He will send forth labourers into His harvest.

Was ministering to a Swiss lady online and she has just gone through Divine relational pruning. People were openly envious of her prophetic giftings, so she ended those friendships. I offered that they weren't rejecting her, but it was Christ in her they were spurning. Also that a bad tree bears bad fruit and one bad apple would rot a whole box. Therefore the disintegration of her relationships is Jesus and His great love protecting her harvest of fruit and even making room in her life to be more fruitful, as well as for Him to bring her enjoyment with others that bear more sweet fruit! As we chatted, the Great Gardener gave her these heartening visions...note His intentness shows His lovingkindness towards tender sensitive 'plants', as the more 'beautiful' they are, the more 'delicate' they are.

The Intent Gardener

I have a vision of a Gardener pulling up the weeds in the most shady and beautiful place. It is cool and there is a very light breeze blowing through the leaves. The Gardener is bent over and intent on cleaning the earth. There is a lot of greenery and freshness in that place where one can rest in heavenly delight! The boughs of a huge tree reach to the ground almost. It is so beautiful and peaceful this place and we are being called into a place of rest. The glory of the Lord hovers there and it is not long before we shall be enveloped in it, totally! Forgetting about the past, and yielding to the moment of His transforming presence!

1 Kings 5:4 But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side, and there is no adversary or disaster.

Matthew 13:24-26 Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

John 15:1-8 I am the true vine, and My Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in Me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit He prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing...If you remain in Me and My words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be given you. This is to My Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be My disciples.

Isaiah 43:19 See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the desert and streams in the wasteland.

Philippians 3:13-14 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

The Whistling Eagle

I keep seeing a high mountain, with steep rocks, and the peak is not far away, but it is nothing like the vision I had in the garden before, no greenery is there. It is lonely and asks a lot of courage from the one who is climbing. Just above there is an eagle soaring and whistling with its wings spread out. It seems to be watching and talking in some strange way to the climber.

The eagle could represent Jesus with a reference to Isaiah 40:31...as altitude for mountain climbing is tough on the heart, so living as a prophetic person with much unjust persecution can weigh heavy on one's heart...knocking the wind out from underneath their spiritual wings. Hence the eagle's whistling an insistent urging for one to wait on the Lord for their renewal of strength and spiritual bearings...rather than to trudge on higher and higher while already wearied and wounded...endangering themselves and becoming an easy target for more attack.

Isaiah 40:25-31 “To whom then will you liken Me, or to whom shall I be equal?” says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and see who has created these things, who brings out their host by number; He calls them all by name, by the greatness of His might and the strength of His power; not one is missing. Why do you say... “My way is hidden from the LORD, and my just claim is passed over by my God”? Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall, but those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

A wonderful read indeed! Learning to trust God even and especially in the midst of turmoil!

(For several months now the Lord has been catching me up into the third heavens, and showing me His heavenly garden)

I was on my face before Him, praying in my heavenly language and waiting on Him. All day long I had been engaged in heavy spiritual warfare, and I lay there feeling totally helpless and crying out for Him to come rescue me. Suddenly I was aware of large satin-like white ripples of liquid streaming toward me. This satin-like liquid was unlike any kind of 'water' I had ever seen before. It was not transparent like water, and it gently flowed from high above somewhere, almost like a waterfall.

This liquid felt soft and smooth and warm, and it flowed to me in large ripple-like waves. They pulsated in a rhythmic flow, and were evenly spaced. They almost looked like liquid ribbon candy.

These satiny ripples seemed to take direct aim on me. I suddenly felt them cover me like a blanket, and wrap me tightly up like a cocoon. They wrapped me so tightly I could not move, and as this satin 'blanket' engaged me, forming my body in a fetal position. I felt like a baby wrapped in a security blanket. The texture of the satin liquid changed after it had wrapped me, for I could feel its softness touching my face. It felt like the softest cotton I could imagine.

Whereas before my heart had been overwhelmed with much turmoil and worry, suddenly I realized my heart was at complete rest! I felt totally cradled in His love. I felt total peace. All fears were completely gone. In fact, I wondered if I had entered eternity, because my soul felt so utterly at rest! Oh how I wanted to lay there forever, and never get up! Then the Spirit spoke and said THIS IS MY GIFT OF CHILDLIKE TRUST. WHENEVER FEAR, WORRY OR DOUBT WAGE WAR AGAINST YOUR SOUL, LET MY RIVER OF TRUST OVERTAKE YOU AND ENFULF YOU, SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY.

Psalm 37:3-7 Trust in the LORD, and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass. He shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him; do not fret...

Psalm 46:1-5 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her, just at the break of dawn...Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth! The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

Psalm 91:14-16 "Because he loves Me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges My name. He will call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him. With long life will I satisfy him and show him My salvation."

Psalm 131:2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul, like a weaned child with his mother; like a weaned child is my soul within me.

Hey, Humblebee. The Lord's put it on my heart to start recording any dreams I have and then bring them here, so I'm going to. It's a shame - I've had dreams in the past I KNOW meant something, but I've since forgotten them. If I remember any of them, you can be sure I'll bring them here...

Last night my dream was fairly simple. I dreamt I was a Jedi padawan learning to build my lightsaber. My master was explaining to me that when a lightsaber is built correctly, the energy blade will actually rotate in place (though this cannot be seen). He explained that the rotation of the blade gave it the stability to be weilded. Then, he went on to tell me that if the blade does not rotate, it would become "locked" and unstable, causing the blade to trail behind when the blade was swung. My master warned me that if the blade was locked, I risked injury when weilding the blade and that my lightsaber would likely explode, taking my arm and possibly the rest of me with it.

The strange thing is, I've never heard anything like this about a lightsaber in real life (if you can't tell, I'm a bit of a Star Wars buff.) Only thing I can think of is a slight connection with my friend Preston, with whom I've played a number of Star Wars related games, in fact we're about to start a new roleplay set in a Star Wars campaign. Any thought of Preston has significance because he's a Pagan, and I've been praying for his salvation for some time now, and praying that if I am to have a hand in it, I'd do it and do it well.

What do you think?

 

[HumbleBee]

Hey there IonHelen,

Believing your dream an exhortation to ensure that your life has a firm foundation built upon the principles of the Word of God, the True Sword of the Spirit! Hiding the Word of Truth in your heart will help give you emotional stability, keener discernment for wise decision making, and a stronger witness. If your life does not revolve around Christ and His Word, meaning much affected by His Commandments, living the Word, then you will spin out of control. The warning would be you must learn to yield and submit to the Holy Spirit's leading, especially when witnessing, otherwise you may risk causing unnecessary friction and conflict. No one likes to be force-fed the Gospel. The Spirit knows best how and when to woo each person to Christ. Also practice what you preach. Avoid the 'do as I say, not as I do' syndrome. Preaching to others in pride, yet not holding oneself accountable will explode, causing much offense and divisiveness in friendship.

The most effective way to witness to a friend is by making them thirsty for Jesus by how you treat them.

Feast upon these Bible verses:

Joshua 1:8 This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success.

Psalm 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Isaiah 33:6 Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, and the strength of salvation; the fear of the LORD is His treasure.

Matthew 7:24-29 “Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock. “But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them, will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand: and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell. And great was its fall.” And so it was, when Jesus had ended these sayings, that the people were astonished at His teaching, for He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

John 12:49-50 For I did not speak of My own accord, but the Father who sent Me commanded Me what to say and how to say it. I know that His command leads to eternal life. So whatever I say is just what the Father has told Me to say.

Colossians 3:16-17 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

1 Timothy 4:12-16 Let no one despise your youth, but be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attention to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all. Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

James 1:22-25 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does.

Micah 7:4 ~ “…the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation cometh…”

Luke 17:26 ~ “And as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be also in the days of the Son of man.”

In a vision, I was standing in a group of people. We were laughing and talking together. I sensed that the Lord was standing next to me.

“Child,” I heard the Lord say to me, “what are you doing here?”

I was surprised by the Lord’s question. “I am visiting with my friends,” I replied.

“This is not what I have called you unto,” the Lord said to me. “Why are you not up in the tower where I have called you to be?”

I saw that the Lord had turned from the group of people, and was pointing upwards. I looked up to where the Lord was pointing, and saw a very high tower.

“Because it’s lonely in the tower,” I said to the Lord.

“Return to where I have stationed you,” the Lord commanded me.

I slowly began to climb my way back up into the high tower. When I arrived back into the tower, I saw that the entire tower was open on all sides and that I was able to look out easily into all directions.

I looked down and saw that the Lord was walking in and out of the crowds of people spread out below me. At intervals, He would stop and speak quietly to certain people. These people would then also separate themselves from the crowds and make their way to where the Lord would point for them to be.

I saw that some of the people were positioned on rooftops. Some were positioned on walls that ran around the perimeter of the city. Others were in groups of twos and were walking around the city together. Still others were also up in high towers such as the one I was in.

I then sensed the Lord’s return next to me.

“Why am I here, Lord?” I asked.

“To keep watch,” the Lord replied.

(Habakkuk 2:1-3 ~~ “{1} I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. {2} And the Lord answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it. {3} For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.”)

So, I watched. For quite some time, I continued to watch. Yet, I saw nothing.

I noticed that the Lord was going from watchman to watchman, speaking to them. I saw that some of them had fallen asleep on their watch, and that the Lord appeared quite displeased by this.

(Isaiah 56:10 ~~ “His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber.”)

Suddenly, I saw something bright falling from the heavens. When this brightness struck the earth, I saw what appeared to be a mist. From this mist sprang forth spirits, some type of angelic beings. Yet I felt tremendous and immense fear and unease as I viewed these spiritual beings.

(Luke 10:18 ~~ “And he <Jesus> said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.”

Revelation 9:1-3 ~~ “{1} And the fifth angel sounded, and I saw a star fall from heaven unto the earth: and to him was given the key of the bottomless pit. {2} And he opened the bottomless pit; and there arose a smoke out of the pit, as the smoke of a great furnace; and the sun and the air were darkened by reason of the smoke of the pit. {3} And there came out of the smoke locusts upon the earth: and unto them was given power, as the scorpions of the earth have power.”

Revelation 16:14 ~~ “For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.”

2 Corinthians 11:14 ~~ “And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”)

“What is happening, Lord?” I asked the Lord. “What are these spiritual beings?”

“These are the fallen ones,” the Lord replied. “This is the return of the Nephilim.”

I had no idea what these words meant, yet was filled with absolute terror at what the Lord had just said to me.

I then saw more spiritual beings descending from the heavens. Yet, even though I was afraid when I saw them, it was not with the same terror I had felt upon seeing those to whom the Lord referred to as the Nephilim.

“Who are these beings, Lord?” I asked.

“These are the Watchers,” the Lord replied. “The Holy Ones.”

(Daniel 4: 13, 17 ~~ “{13} I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven; {17} This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.”

Hebrews 1:14 ~~ “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?”)

I watched from my place in the tower as the Nephilim entered into what appeared to be laboratories. I saw as the Nephilim stood side by side with what appeared to be doctors and whispered into the ears of the doctors. These doctors were conducting what appeared to be some type of complex
experiments.

Here in the laboratories, I saw as what appeared to be humans were brought forth. Yet, something about these “humans” disturbed me greatly.

“What is transpiring here, Lord?” I asked the Lord. “Who are these people that are being brought forth?”

“These are the soul-less ones,” the Lord replied.

I felt a chill settle upon me at the Lord’s words.

“From the very beginning of time,” the Lord said to me, “Satan has sought to insinuate himself into the bloodline of men. He sought to taint the bloodline through which Messiah would come. Satan did this to prevent the salvation of mankind.”

(Genesis 3:15 ~~ “and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”

Genesis 6:2, 4 ~~ “{2} …the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose. {4} There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same
became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.”)

“The world was filled with wickedness and the bloodline became corrupt through the fallen ones,” the Lord said to me. “Until only one just and perfect man was left upon the face of the earth. Only his bloodline was free from any taint and blemish of the seed of the fallen ones. It was to be through the bloodline of Noah that My covenant would continue to be established. And it repented Me that I had made man, and it was determined to destroy man and the earth to free it from the taint of the fallen ones.”

(Genesis 6:9, 17-18 ~~ “{9}…Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God. {17} And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. {18} But with thee will I establish my covenant; and thou shalt
come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons’ wives with thee.

Jude 6 ~~ “And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.”)

I then saw as the Nephilim aligned themselves with certain people, and merged themselves with these people. I saw as they revealed themselves to these people as angels of light, as spiritual guides. I then heard as these people began to proclaim and speak of new theories and discoveries with which to explain the mysteries of the past, as well as forthcoming discoveries of the future. And their words were greeted and welcomed and believed upon by many.

(Galatians 1:8 ~~ “But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 ~~ “{9} Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, {10} And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish: because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. {11} And for this cause
God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: {12} That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

1 Timothy 4:1 ~~ “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils.”

2 Timothy 4:4 ~~ “And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.”)

“What is the purpose of these things?” I asked the Lord.

“This is a last effort waged by the enemy to destroy man’s ability to receive salvation,” the Lord explained to me. “The soul-less ones do not have the ability to become or to experience salvation; for they have no soul.

“Tell My children to watch, child,” the Lord said unto me. “Tell them to allow nothing to deceive them.”

“Who would believe these words, Lord?” I asked the Lord.

“Very few,” the Lord replied. “The words you speak will sound foolish to many. Yet the warning given to them now will become a seed planted in their heart. These words will be remembered by them when the need arrives. Fear not, child, to speak what I command you to speak.”

(Acts 18: 9-10 ~~ “{9} Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: {10} For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.”)

(For the past several months He has been taking me on 'tours' of His 'heavenly garden'...)

I was worshipping and dancing to Him in my prayer room. Suddenly the Spirit whisked me up into His heavenly garden. I found myself beneath a willow-like tree; it had 'weeping-like' branches that hung low. I could not see the top of the tree, but only the branches at my eye level. But these branches were glorious and intriguing by themselves! Each branch was covered wih beautiful jewel-like flowers jewels, that not only glistened like diamonds but also were like little chimes.

There were multitudes of other dancers dancing beneath this tree, weaving in and out between the graceful branches of this tree. As my body brushed against a branch, a beautiful 'twinkly' chime-like melody would come forth! This was not only a beautiful tree to look at, but it was also a muscial instrument! I began to whirl around faster and faster, each time brushing a branch with my hands, and 'playing' beautiful celestial melodies! No two melodies were alike; the possible melodies were endless. If I slowly brushed my hand through the branches, then a slow flowing twinkling melody would come forth. If I brushed fast and vigorously, then a stronger brighter melody would come. Oh how delightful it was to dance beneath this tree! Each dancer beneath this tree was making his/her own 'symphony' of praise to the Creator!

I noticed that everything in this garden was a musical instrument. Music was flowing from everything, and just brushing against a tree, flower, or even stepping on the foliage beneath my feet was like having an endless amount of heaveny melodic percussion instruments at my disposal.

The Lord then instructed me to come closer and observe the leaves on the branches of this tree of praise and worship. It's hard to accurately describe the color of the leaves, but they were unlike any leaf I had seen on earth. They were a purple-pink iridescent color, and on the surface I noticed a shiny glaze substance, that resembled a dew or frost. God told me to taste this heavenly 'glaze'. I touched a leaf, and scraped off a portion of the mysterious substance. I placed a small amount on my tongue! Wow! I had never tasted such sweetness! Incredible joy and thankfulness bubbled forth from my spirit, and I HAD to resume my dancing to Him! It was as if I had tasted 'heavenly manna' and this manna gave me divine energy and desire to worship Him with all my heart, soul, mind and strength!

Psalm 34:8 Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

Mark 12:29-31 Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”

John 4:23-24 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.

Revelation 22:1-7 And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb. In the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and His servants shall serve Him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. There shall be no night there: They need no lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever. Then he said to me, “These words are faithful and true.” And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place. “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”

I had a vision of a person stamping their feet and remaining in the same spot. They stamped long and hard and the ground was hard beneath them. The arms moved as if in a march. I wondered why they never moved forward. As I looked, I noticed that they stamped in a rhythm. Then the Lord spoke this to me:


This is YOUR year. This is the beginning of the start. You still are at the starting line, you are still preparing. Victory and victorious are the words I give you for this year. Soon you will march forwards, with determination, with success, for am I not at your side and did I not say that I am with you ALWAYS, even unto the ends of the earth.


You have been prepared for a time such as this. While you wept as one forgotten in the shadows and others succeeded before you, while you walked the lonely and cold places and while you searched with wet eyes for a place for you, I watched and I fed you, I clothed you, I called you mine, and I had a plan, always, I had a purpose. How can you know pain is over if you do not experience it first? How can you know the wonder of restoration if you have not suffered loss? Even in those sad times, I was working to turn everything into good. Listen and remember that I am the one who restores all that the locust has eaten. All! I say all! The small and the large things, they will be restored, everything will be new.


This is the year. This is the year that the Lord hath made! Go forwards in strength, in power, blessed by the mighty God who you have looked to and waited upon. I am He who comforts, protects, blesses and I call you ready. Now you will march forwards in power, anointed. Clap your hands and rejoice. Rejoice in the morning, rejoice at midday, rejoice in the evening, always, let there be rejoicing on your lips for I have set you aside and called you by name.


Isaiah 61:1-3 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me, because the LORD has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor and the day of vengeance of our God, to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion&#8212; to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of gladness instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of His splendor.

2 Corinthians 6:2 For He says, "In the time of my favor I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you, now is the time of God's favor, now is the day of salvation.

 

[Richard56]

I had a Bizarre deam today, and I have not had one like it.

I was in some strange place, a evil place I think, reminded me of some Egyptian ruins. I was with my Cousin Joey (who I have not seen for a long time) and some other person who didn't appear to be all there in the head. We were walking along, and there was a pit of what looked like quicksand, for some reason Joey and the other guy jumped into it, like they wanted to play... I was pretty sure they were going to die in it.

When they jumped in, I saw two spirits, like children come out of it and disappear. They both then came out, as if ignorant of what had happened, and they were having fun. When they came out, the sand and water drained away and I could see Egyptian artwork. I began to explain to them that these were not Spirits of people, but either Devils or Angels. We walked into another room, and another person appeared, a boy, only he was having some sort of a Demonic attack.

I think I assured the two (Cousin and Stranger) not to be afraid, and I grabbed onto the boy and began saying "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ, depart!" (or something like that). Horns were growing on his head, and they would go away, and then come back again, and I would repeat "Depart in the name of Christ!". I realized that I had actually lifted the boy by the throat high into the air, so I let him down and held him firmly by the shoulders, and gently made the sign of the cross on his forehead and commanded again, "In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to depart from him!"

It seemed to have some effect, but the Demon would not depart. I stepped back wondering what I was doing wrong, and I prayed to God within myself, "Please do not Forsake me!", then these words came to me "This kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting." I said, "But there is no time for it!" The boy was transforming into a monster, the Devil was at the door, I felt it had to be done now.

I turned back to my Cousin and the stranger, and began preaching to them. I was under the impression that now that they had seen this, they would easily believe, and that seemed to be the case. I think my motives were not that great however, since I remember thinking for a split second, "Perhaps my lack of works are what keep me from casting out the Demon?", and so I think I may have been preaching to them not for their souls, but for myself. I wonder if that is always the case?

Either way, I now had need of a Bible, and there was one nearby, out of it came Roaches (these things I really hate), and I crushed them. I remember thinking, "Jesus does not like roaches either", or that Jesus had crushed roaches also, and had rebuked his disciples for not doing so. Finally they were all dead, or most of them, and I opened up the Bible... But it seemed to be written in ancient Egyptian, but I saw a familiar verse in English written at the bottom of the page. "So it is of some use" I said to myself.

However, I think I ignored it, and simply used those verses I have always in my memory. John 3:16 and Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9Not of works, lest any man should boast.

At around this point the dream ended. Very strange! Before I went to sleep, I asked God for a dream, could this be the answer of the prayer? Would God send such a bizarre dream? Perhaps some of you can offer an interpretation?

The above could symbolize that sin is not somtin to play around in...nor to handle carelessly...it is like quicksand and the Bible surely admonishes the wages of sin is death.

This seems a lesson in maintaining one's Christian walk for the Suddenlies of God. A person who has spiritually coasted for awhile, even backslid, then really gets into trouble and yet with presumptuous authority makes demands on Jesus? Somehow fully expecting Him to just come to their rescue, because of the urgency of the moment?

"But there is no time for it!" Seems to speak about not previously making prayer and fasting spiritual priorities that are obviously very necessary disciplines for effective witnessing and spiritual warfare.

The Bible with roaches seems to imply a Bible that hasn't been opened nor read for a long time. The longer it goes unread, the tougher it will be to understand and live its principles and will further void one's spiritual authority. Using only your memory verses signifies depending on self and 'stale bread'...rather than on God and eating fresh manna...receiving fresh revelation (wisdom) from and empowerment through His Word.

Upkeeping one's relationship with Christ is the best preventative maintenance and will surely help one to be ready for anything! Readily endued with wisdom and power from on High to effectively meet the needs of even and especially an urgent moment!
