The Good of the Land

[vision/rhema] 12/28/11

SAW: I was in a land where there were large over-sized muffins and loaves of bread everywhere.  I literally kept running into them as I walked.

HEARD: Eat the good of the land.

^"7 For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; ⁸ a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; ⁹ a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. ¹⁰ When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which He has given you."(Deuteronomy 8:7-10) 

Strong's concordance: "Good" H2896 in v.7 means good, pleasant, agreeable; excellent; rich; valuable; appropriate; happy; prosperous; understanding; benign; kind; benefit; bounty; welfare

Strong's concordance: Bread H3899 in v. 9 can also be substituted for "provision", "Victuals", "meat".

Provision as defined means: "the providing or supplying of something, especially of food or other necessities."

A year ago this month the Lord spoke Deuteronomy 8 into my spirit.  And promised me that He was would provide my daily manna and would bring me into a good land.  Along with the promise of a good land He warned me to not forget Him.  I am literally in awe of Him bringing this vision to me at this particular time.  Reminding me once again of His faithfulness in never forgetting a promise.  As He has surely provided me with daily manna and now He says, "Eat the good of the land.'  enjoy all that I am giving you.  For you have been willing and obedient.  Enjoy.  For I am the Lord your God."

My Prayer: 

I kneel before You and am in awe of Your workings in my life.  I salute You Father for without You oh Lord I would not be able to partake of such goodness.  I love You Lord for it is by Your hands that I have all that I have.... it is by Your hands that I am what I am...It is by Your hands that I will continue to prosper for I will acknowledge You daily and with each blessing I will turn around and give it back to You.  Father for You are my daily bread.  

Mustard Seed Faith

[vision/rhema] 12/15/11

As I was getting out of bed one morning last week I saw this...

SAW:  I was cupping a feather in my hand

HEARD: Mustard seed faith.

As I saw this I was confused as to how the two went together.  How can a feather exhibit mustard seed faith.  All week Holy Spirit has brought this vision back to me and I have pondered it so many times.  However, tonight I read this scripture:

"Then He said, “What is the kingdom of God like? And to what shall I compare it? It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and put in his garden; and it grew and became a large tree, and the birds of the air nested in its branches.”(Luke 13:18-19)


...and then in Matthew: 
   

³¹ Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field, ³² which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.” (Matthew 13:31-32)

...and then in Mark:

^"30 Then He said, “To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? ³¹ It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; ³² but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.”(Mark4:30-32)

Strong's Concordance "Lodge' corresponds to G2681 which also means "to rest". 

How deeply profound.  The kingdom of God compared to a mustard seed, the tiniest of seeds.  How can this be?  As we know the Word says that without faith it is impossible to please God and that the tiniest of faith (the size of a mustard seed)  is quoted to be able to move mountains.  Just what is mustard seed faith?  I recently saw a video with Mike Rogers where he explained that the Lord showed him mustard seed faith is the faith it takes to walk across a room to pray for someone.  As I was pondering this and was seeking evidence of mustard seed faith in my own life,  the Lord showed me that mustard seed faith is also the faith it took for me to start a blog, to start a Facebook page, to write a book.  Wow!  These are avenues by which many people's mountains are being moved.  Sometimes it takes simply a Word of a testimony from someone who has walked where we want to walk to provide the seed to our mustard.  We know that the kingdom of God is accessed through faith.  Faith is the door that unlocks the habitation of rest.  Interesting how when we plant our faith, even when it's as small as a mustard seed we grow.   It is through our growth (as our seed flourishing into a large tree) that many others find rest as our tree provides the shade.. a welcoming habitation for the weary... a lodge... a nest.  Right now even in this moment, I am seeing branches of a tree shake as if a bird was taking off.  Through the shaking branches I see a single feather fall back into a nest.  This feather  falling back into the nest, is the feather I am cupping in my hands and is the evidence of my mustard seed faith.

My Prayer: 
Father, there are so many times that I stand before you speechless having nothing but praise on my tongue.  This is one of those times.  For I am truely nothing without you.  I love you and seek to honor and praise you with my life.  Thank you for being so faithful to me...for loving me...for saving my life....for giving me your kingdom.

2011

The last several days I have been in an awe inspired reflective state. 2011 has been a year like none other to me. For during this past year the Lord has birthed through me a blog, a website, a book---A ministry. And along the path of obedience He has blessed me with an incredibly beautiful relationship with Him. Wow, I see Him smiling at me right now. As tears flow down my cheeks, I am above everything else in my life most grateful for knowing my Savior and being able to call Him my best friend. 

Last December the Lord started beckoning me to a place I have never been before... the inner court to dwell in His chambers...to receive daily manna fresh from His table... He made me a promise that He would lead me to the good land...the land flowing with brooks and fountains...a land of plenty. But, along with that promise He gave me a warning to not forget Him. He gave me Deuteronomy 8. I received that promise along with the warning...For even in the warning I see the most tender heart of an absolute incredible God. And my God has been faithful...I have never known such love in my life. 

Father, I owe all that I am to you. You have established a covenant with me and have taught me how to be obedient to it... Father you reached down and drew me to yourself...You call me into the inner courts, into your chambers, you whisper in my ears, you give me visions and establish my dreams. Father, you created my blog and draw men to this page. Father you wrote the words of my book and even now you are penning my story... Father I am yours! Thank you for 2011 and now I look onward to 2012 with hopeful excitement~ I love you! 

Deuteronomy 8
Remember the LORD Your God

1 “Every commandment which I command you today you must be careful to observe, that you may live and multiply, and go in and possess the land of which the LORD swore to your fathers. 2 And you shall remember that the LORD your God led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not. 3 So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD. 4 Your garments did not wear out on you, nor did your foot swell these forty years. 5 You should know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.
6 “Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him. 7 For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; 8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey; 9 a land in which you will eat bread without scarcity, in which you will lack nothing; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper. 10 When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which He has given you. 
11 “Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today, 12 lest—when you have eaten and are full, and have built beautiful houses and dwell in them; 13 and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied; 14 when your heart is lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; 15 who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, in which were fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty land where there was no water; who brought water for you out of the flinty rock; 16 who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and that He might test you, to do you good in the end— 17 then you say in your heart, ‘My power and the might of my hand have gained me this wealth.’ 
18 “And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day. 19 Then it shall be, if you by any means forget the LORD your God, and follow other gods, and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish. 20 As the nations which the LORD destroys before you, so you shall perish, because you would not be obedient to the voice of the LORD your God.

OTC

[vision] 12/23/11

SAW:  I an angel standing with his arms folded with a very army general like appearance.  Very serious.  Very stern looking.  Behind him was a battle raging. (had the understanding this was Michael the Archangel)


SAW: OTC.


HEARD:  Over the border. 


Now to me "OTC" means Over the Counter (as I am a nurse) medications sold lawfully with out a prescription.   But "over the counter" also means unlisted on or not part of an organized securities exchange.  Such as the stock market.  


“At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, Every one who is found written in the book. (Daniel 12:1)


This could be a warning concerning our stock market.   It will be interesting to watch and see what transpires through our nation and across our borders in the coming months.  


Father, I ask for your protection, you hand to be on our markets...Father to shield and protect your children in Jesus name Amen. 

Professionalism

[vision/rhema] 12/22/11

Yesterday, I had to have a conversation with a patient who would continually use very disrespectful speech in referring to different races.  And this morning, I am thinking about this because in prayer I asked the Lord what He needed me to know...

HEARD: Professionalism 

    [Lord, what do you mean? Can I have a verse?]

SAW: Matthew 10:12

^"12 And when you go into a household, greet it. "(Matthew 10:12)

Strong's Concordance: Greet H782

1) to draw to one's self

a) to salute one, greet, bid welcome, wish well to

b) to receive joyfully, welcome

Professionalism defined:
The methods, character, spirit.

Now let me explain my job.  I am a home health nurse.  I get to go into homes and help people where they are.   Many times I enter patients home who have very different values than mine.  Such as the one I was at yesterday.  The Lord is reassuring me that my job is to be His professional and in that I am to greet the home as I enter...Receive them joyfully, wish them well.  However, that is not all of the command.  To be God's professional, you must also present character and spirit that is reflective of the Father.  So, we are to greet new people with a welcoming heart, a joyful spirit, drawing them to ourselves with a welcoming character.

^"13 If the household is worthy, let your peace come upon it. But if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.¹⁴ And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet. ¹⁵ Assuredly, I say to you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for that city! "(Matthew 10:14-15)

What I feel the Lord is saying there is that after we have presented ourselves to whomever in the right spirit: joyful, welcoming, well wishing, etc. And we are not received as such then we are to leave them and shake the dust off our feet.  He is saying here, think nothing more of it...let it not trouble you any longer...Receive back your peace.  But, I want to look at the word "Worthy"  What is God considering "Worthy"?  

Strong's Concordance: Worthy G514

1) weighing, having weight, having the weight of another thing of like value, worth as much

2) befitting, congruous, corresponding to a thing

3) of one who has merited anything worthy

a) both in a good and a bad sense

Worthy: "having the weight of another thing of like value". This is very interesting to me because as soon as I read this I was quickened to Amos 3:3

"Can two walk together, unless they are agreed?"(Amos 3:3) 


Wow, so we are to present a certain professionalism.  We are His ambassadors  His professionals.  So go forth (where ever we go...whether it be in homes, in churches, etc) in the very nature of God.  Therefore, being the very "weight" (if we are looking at the word "Worthy" ) of God, when we are not received as such (being of like value) then we are to allow our peace to return to us and shake the dust off our feet...MOVING ON!!


*The thing we must remember is this.  When we are presenting the nature of God and we are not received...the ones not receiving us are actually not receiving God.  

MORE TO COME...

His Arrows

[vision] 12/11 


SAW: Standing before me was the Lord and to His right was a fiery angel.  As I watched the angel took from the Lord the fiery arrow and walked towards me.  As the angel got closer he held out his arm and handed me the arrow.  



"If he does not turn back,
He will sharpen His sword;
He bends His bow and makes it ready.
13 He also prepares for Himself instruments of death;
He makes His arrows into fiery shafts."(Psalm 7:12-13)

Propaganda

[rhema]12/19/11

Interesting. Yesterday as I was getting up from a nap I heard the word "Propaganda".

Propaganda:
Information ideas, or rumors deliberately spread widely to help or harm a person, group, movement, institution, nation, etc. 

Propaganda Cultural definition: 

Official movement communications to the public that are designed to influence opinion. The information may be true or false, but it is always carefully selected for it's political effect.  

As I am pondering this I am quickened to the date 1219.

Strong's Concordance H1219 corresponds to common, openly, or public:

1) belonging to the people or state, public

2) publicly, in public places, in full view of all

Verses with H1219 in them: 

^"18 and laid their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison."(Acts 5:18)

^"37 But Paul said to them, “They have beaten us openly, uncondemned Romans, and have thrown us into prison. And now do they put us out secretly? No indeed! Let them come themselves and get us out.” (Acts 16:37)

²⁸ for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ."(Acts 18:28)

^20" how I kept back nothing that was helpful, but proclaimed it to you, and taught you publicly and from house to house,"(Acts 20:20)


still pondering...

A Whisper

[rhema] 12/19/11

HEARD:  A whisper in the night.




This is referring to Matthew 10:17. But in this passage Jesus is actually teaching the fear of God. I wonder how


 often we listen to the voice in the night...the whisper in the ear as we are drifting off to sleep. There have been 


so many times when that is when I have received my greatest encouragement and revelation...Jesus commands 


us to shout it from the roofs.


You know about a year ago I started paying attention to the whispers in the night... I started sleeping with a 


journal and a pen under my pillow so I wouldn't miss one single whisper... That's how important His words are


 to me.... So much of my blog comes from those whispers... Be encouraged, God is talking to you...and His 


Words are so important...These seemingly trumpeting whispers are so important that He tells us to stand on the 


roof and proclaiming them LOUDLY!! 






Jesus Teaches the Fear of God   

 “Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. ²⁹ Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will. ³⁰ But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. ³¹ Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows."(Matthew 10:27-31)

The Living Stones

[vision] 12/16/11


This morning drawn into prayer I just knelled in my prayer closet and began to worship as I did I had the following vision.


SAW:  I was standing on a golden rug before four steps and a glory light beyond.  The golden rug extended up the four steps and disappeared into the glory that was before me.  As I walked up the steps and stood facing this glorious light the light began to wrap around me engulfing me.  As it did, I was taken further into the light. I then noticed I was in a chamber standing on stones.  As I thought, "Father, where am I?"  I began to hear murmurings as it sounded at first as if hundreds upon hundreds of people were talking all at the same time.

^"4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— ⁵ you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 2: 4-6) 

           [Father?]


HEARD: My ears are always attuned to the cries of my people.


SAW:  A light shoot out from this chamber I was in  (as if it was a star leaving a trail) and enter into the earth's atmosphere landing in an Asian country.  I saw a mother on her knees crying out to God for her children.  Then I saw another light shoot out from the chamber and saw it land in another country where I saw a man in a business suit bowing his head in prayer. Then I saw another light shoot out and land in a home of a well known evangelist.  Then suddenly (while still inside the heart of God) I began to feel such an extreme sadness, an overwhelming longing.


HEARD: My Spirit is jealous.


SAW:  "Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?"(James 4:5)


All I could do at this point was pray in the spirit until I felt relief...

              ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A while back God gave me a revelation concerning this verse James 4:5.  But, to understand this verse I need to show you two other verses,  Psalm 139:13 and Jeremiah 1:5.

"¹³For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb."(Psalm 139:13-KJV)

Strong's Concordance: H7069 "possessed" means "create", "posses", "of  God originating", "possessor". 

Strong's Concordance: H5526 "Covered" means "To weave together". 

Now lets look at Jeremiah 1:5...

 “ Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; " (Jeremiah 1:5)

Strong's Concordance: H3335 "Formed"

to form, fashion, frame; of individuals at conception; pre-ordained; of divine activity; to be created

Strong's Concordance: H3045  "Knew" 

to know, be acquainted with; to know by experience 

Now let me ask you a question. At the time of conception when we are being 'made' where to you think our 'spirit' comes from?  Hum?  This was the revelation that God gave me several months back and then was confirmed by something I heard Kat Kerr talk about.  I will copy/paste and change the color of  that revelation below but here also is the link Knitted Together.


[start copy and paste]

Psalm 139:13-14

 ¹³ For you created my inmost being;
   you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
¹⁴ I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
   your works are wonderful,
   I know that full well."

This revelation is incredible to me. Kat Kerr reports of the the Lord telling her that at the time of conception the He sends, by way of the Holy Spirit, a little tiny spirit from within His being down and literally knits the spirit to the flesh of the baby inside the mother's womb.  This tiny spirit is and has always existed within Him.  So, He literally knew us before we were born because our spirit that He placed inside of each of us has always existed with in him. 'It' has always been and 'it' can never die.  When we die "it' (our spirit) either returns to heaven and lives forever with Him or goes to Hell and lives forever there...  


As I pondered and marveled at this revelation...I am quickened to the Lord telling me, "My words are literal." You know the Lord doesn't try to get one over on us... He is a beautiful wordsmith but he is so direct with his speech... Now, that I have said that let me say this... He is so direct with his speech at times that our minds just can't comprehend such incredible things... Therefore, he speaks also in parables...dark speech...Even the symbolic speech that he uses is literally translated.  


Hearing of this revelation the Lord quickened me to this verse: 

James 4:5
"Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us ?"

Earlier in the year I was reading James and I stopped on this verse...

HEARD:  "Read it again."

So, I did.  I just couldn't grasp what the Lord was wanting me to understand... So, I read it again... and again... 

HEARD: "Why? Why do I jealously long for the spirit I caused to dwell in you"? 

He then opened my understanding and caused me to see.  Because the spirit he caused to dwell within us is His....It is part of HIM.  This spirit that was knitted together with our flesh at the time we were being woven in our mothers' womb came from inside of the God of this universe...Therefore, our bodies are literally the temple of the Holy Spirit...The Living God! 

1 Corinthians 6:19-20

^"19 Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; ²⁰ you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies."

Even before we accept Christ as our Savior, God placed part of Him inside of us...We are literally God's offspring and He longs, jealously, for that spirit that He knitted together with our flesh to return to Him when we die.  Wow~ Doesn't that give you a much deeper understanding of the call on your life to live holy and pure before Him? 

Father, there are so many times when I am speechless before you... Your works are so incredible... Father I praise you for revelations of your word... I give you all praise all glory... For I am fearfully and wonderfully made in your image... I thank you Father! In Jesus Name.

[end copy/past]

My Prayer: 
Father, I cry out for these souls to return to You. Father I command in the name of Jesus that these souls come into alignment with their creator...The One who knew them before they were known... Father, I command them to be obedient to Your commands Father in Jesus name. Amen! 

The Banner Raised....

[dream] 12/12/11

[start dream]
I was at home (but the home was not mine) with my family and I looked out my front door and I saw huge dogs of many different breeds ravishing the yard.  As I was watching the dogs ravishing the yard I started having chest pains...it was hard to stand up and hard to breath.  I checked my heart rate and it was only 9 then I watched the rate drop to 2 then 0. But I didn't die. The rate started all over again. First 9 then 2 then 0.  I walked outside to run the dogs off... After they had run away, still not feeling well I looked up to the sky and saw a chariot of sorts turn. It was very large.  It had five wheels (the wheels were turned sideways) and feather like flames trailing each wheel.  Then I looked back and saw two large white banners raised mounted on a "T" like pole.  At the top of these two banners were smaller banners (flags) of every nation.  I tried to read what was on the banners but there there was so much on them I couldn't focus on any one part... Then the chariot and the banners turned north.  A portal,  filled with light, opened up and the chariot and the banners went through the portal.
[end dream]

^"25 Therefore the anger of the LORD is aroused against His people;
      He has stretched out His hand against them
      And stricken them,
      And the hills trembled.
      Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets.
      For all this His anger is not turned away,
      But His hand is stretched out still.
       ²⁶ He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar,
      And will whistle to them from the end of the earth;
      Surely they shall come with speed, swiftly.
       ²⁷ No one will be weary or stumble among them,
      No one will slumber or sleep;
      Nor will the belt on their loins be loosed,
      Nor the strap of their sandals be broken;" (Isaiah 5:25-27) 

       "¹⁷ One thousand shall flee at the threat of one,
      At the threat of five you shall flee,
      Till you are left as a pole on top of a mountain
      And as a banner on a hill.
God Will Be Gracious
    ¹⁸ Therefore the LORD will wait, that He may be gracious to you;
      And therefore He will be exalted, that He may have mercy on you.
      For the LORD is a God of justice;
      Blessed are all those who wait for Him. " (Isaiah 30:17-18)

Imparting Boldness

[vision/encounter] 12/7/11

Tonight I was chatting with a friend Mike Rodgers and as we were conversing over the Warehouse of body parts in heaven.  He asked me to ask Jesus to show me the door to Revelation 4:1.

"After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.” (Revelation 4:1)

I closed my eyes and asked Jesus to please show me the door to Revelation 4:1.  Immediately, I saw a door fling open.  I could see inside the door stacks and stacks of containers on tables...As I walked through the door I saw Jesus standing on the left...I walked over to Him and He began to tell me that this was the "Lab".  But, then immediately I was taken to the banks of a river.  I was standing with my back to the river and was facing a green hillside.  On the hill immediately to my left was this huge oak like tree with huge orange/grapefruit like fruit on it...  It was really loaded down with this fruit. Directly in front of me but away from me (in distance) was another tree with smaller purplish fruit.  And then off to my right in the distance was a third tree with a crowd of people conversing.  They all were wearing white robes.  I had the understanding that the first tree was a tree of knowledge and the second was a tree of wisdom. I started describing what I was seeing to Mike and just as he said, "Ask Jesus if you can eat the fruit of the first 2 before you walk over to the 3rd tree?"  The first fruit was presented to me, already sliced open.  The fruit was extremely juicy and sweet.  The texture was such as an avocado.  The second fruit had a harder outer covering and was more like actually fruit on the inside, not as sweet.  Then I noticed a man from under the third tree was walking towards me.  He looked familiar.  He was wearing a white robe and had dark hair and dark beard.  Huge smile on his face.  As he got closer he opened his arms and said, "Welcome" back.  I then knew it was Joshua. ( This was my second encounter with Joshua. Here is the link to the first encounter An Elevated Place.) He placed his hand on  my shoulder and walked me back to the first tree.  As we walked he said, "The second fruit from the tree of wisdom,  you really have to acquire a taste for wisdom."  Just then, Mike stated, " I am standing by a tree, I see you all, does he have his hand on your shoulder?" (Okay, just and FYI this was a first for me...someone seeing me in heaven...Holy laughter broke out.) Then Mike says, "Listen to his counsel".  I literally can't take my eyes off of Joshua...He has got the most welcoming countenance.  Then Joshua begins praying for me.  Mike  said, "He is imparting boldness to be brave to go forth in your call." When Joshua finishes praying for me he turns me around and I see over the river way off into the distance a tremendous city.  A golden city with elaborate buildings.  Very shiny...sparking in the light.... As if you were shining a light on millions of diamonds.  Mike asked if there was a gate.  But, I didn't see a gate and the city was far away.  Just then the vision ended.  

²² But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, ²³ to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, ²⁴ to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.²⁵ See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven," (Hebrews 12:22-25)

"Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for medicine.” (Ezekiel 47:12)

^'"5 No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you. ⁶ Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I swore to their fathers to give them. ⁷ Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. 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. ⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.” (Joshua 1:5-9)

One Bite at A Time

[vision] 12/8/11

SAW: My daughters heart plate with crumbs on it.  As I watched I saw two hands.  One was holding a knife and the the other was holding fork with a piece of meat on it.  The hand holding the knife slid the meat off the fork on the child's heart plate.

HEARD: Placing bites of meat.

"But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." (Hebrews 5:14)


"For everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness, for he is a babe." (Hebrews 5:13)

~But Wait, There is a Prayer~

HEARD: Suddenly, the fight is not as hard when you realize your not alone.

~But Wait, There is a Prayer~

Right now in this day we are surrounded by darkness.  There seems to be a dark cloud that just sits and waits...hovering over every city and town in America.

The stage has been set.  The game has begun.  The battle of good and evil; the final showdown.

And as we watch nation rise against nation, the darkness seems to loom.  Creeping across large bodies of waters.  Crawling over hills.  Seeking whom next it will devour.

But wait, wait there is a flicker.  A shining light.  Ever so dim at first.  But watch, watch as it grows stronger and stronger...brighter and brighter.

It's spark from a prayer of a wounded warrior.  On her knees crying out to the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY.

Though surrounded by darkness the light with in…The light of the Lord God Almighty is gleaming and it sparks and it ignites.  It is now a flame and it's roaring.

As it’s light pierces the darkness, the darkness scatters.  Scurrying away in fear and trembling.  Yes, judgment is coming.  Judgment is coming and no one can hide from the eyes of the Judge.

For the darkness has been pierced.  God's messengers, His angelic hosts carrying His healing vials of oil to pour on his wounded warriors. Yes, healing has arrived.

The prayers. Even the slightest prayers uttered so quietly from a voice of a wounded warrior pierces the darkness creating a vast divide in which our Lord God Almighty dispatches his Angelic Host.

As the warrior utters simply the name of Jesus...Jesus....Jesus, an army is deployed and help is on the way.

Yes, help is on the way. For God hears every prayer uttered no matter how small the voice.  God hears every utterance and his ear is continually tuned to the cry of His people.

Cry to the Lord!  Cry to the ONE sitting on the throne for He hears your cries. HE IS MIGHTY AND ABLE TO SAVE...CRY TO THE LORD.

Look.  Look now, look around in the light shining as your engulfed by it's brilliance. Look and see your not alone.  Warriors everywhere.  Warriors on their knees.  Your voice has joined many.

Stand now.  Stand in the brilliance of the light as it shines all around you. Stand, for the Lord God Almighty has lifted you up. Stand now, for the Lord is holding you...sustaining you.

Draw now.   Draw now your sword and fight for the final battle is under way.  The Lord God Almighty is sustaining you and you are not alone!

Open now.   Open now your eyes and see for there are 10,000 upon 10,000 of angelic hosts fighting with you.  No.  No, you are not alone!!  The battle is ours and it has been won!!!! AMEN!

The Road Race

[dream/vision]

[dream 1]11/29/11
I was driving a car on a straight highway.  I noticed the car in front of me slowed down and we were almost bumper to bumper. Then the car darted off the road.  I stayed straight on the highway.  Then the same car darted back onto the highway. Still going very slow. Again we were bumper to bumper but I wasn't allowed to slow down. Then the car darted off the highway again.  Again I stayed my course straight on the highway.
[end dream]

[vision] 11/30/11
SAW: I was driving along the highway and noticed a car in front of me.  We approached a stop sign.  I stopped however the car in front of me didn't and it went over the hill and disappeared.

[vision] 12/1/11
SAW:   Someone working under the hood of a car.  I could only see the legs which were wearing red pants.   As I watched someone bent down and peered under the the car.

Fill Thy Cup: 
My child, I have you on a straight path.  An uncompromising path.  There will be many who try to cut in on you.  As they are unsteady and unfocused.  They will try to slow you down and discourage you.  However, I have created you to be strong and uncompromising-courageous!  You will maintain a straight path at a slow steady pace. Unaffected by those who dart in and out of your path recklessly.  For you my child, will see the warning signs.  I have caused your eyes to see the danger ahead.  You have noticed that I am making some adjustments to the way your run.  I am equipping you for the next leg of your race.   Preparing you for a higher calling.  I take great pleasure in your unshakable peaceable faith- For many aspire to have what you have- the peace that passes all understanding only comes from me.  You will be well adjusted to your new gifts shortly and off and running in no time.  We are enjoying watching you grow.

"You're blessed when you stay on course, walking steadily on the road revealed by God. You're blessed when you follow his directions, doing your best to find him. That's right—you don't go off on your own; you walk straight along the road he set. You, God, prescribed the right way to live; now you expect us to live it. Oh, that my steps might be steady, keeping to the course you set; Then I'd never have any regrets in comparing my life with your counsel. I thank you for speaking straight from your heart; I learn the pattern of your righteous ways. I'm going to do what you tell me to do; don't ever walk off and leave me."(Psalm 119:1) 

^"8 A highway shall be there, and a road,
      And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.
      The unclean shall not pass over it,
      But it shall be for others.
      Whoever walks the road, although a fool,
      Shall not go astray.
       ⁹ No lion shall be there,
      Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it;
      It shall not be found there.
      But the redeemed shall walk there,
       ¹⁰ And the ransomed of the LORD shall return,
      And come to Zion with singing,
      With everlasting joy on their heads.
      They shall obtain joy and gladness,
      And sorrow and sighing shall flee away." (Isaiah 35:8-10)
