And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers…… (Eph. 4:11)
In The Company of Prophets
In a dream this morning, I find myself sitting in a large Church with people from around the world. And with it, the keen awareness that I am in the company of true prophets. Suddenly, someone gives a prophetic word. Because it was recognized as a genuine utterance, my head bowed down in prayer. It was important that this Word was received with humility. After discerning the dream, it was recognized that the Word was a call to continue in prayer.
Urgent Call to Prayer
We are called to recognize the dark issues that are taking place in our nations from the highest political levels right on down to the grass root levels. Consequential events that are presently unfolding such as: increasing mistrust and wars between nations, famines, pestilences and diseases, lawlessness, immorality, earthly anomalies, deteriorating global financial systems and a looming falling economy are all markers relating to latter-day prophecies. Everyone will feel the consequences of these global events – no one will be immune. The devouring lion, the plotting devil, is in the works and even Believers are not always aware that they are being deceived and influenced by his powers and principalities – his “deceivers” ! (Spoken Word of Knowledge Cf. 1 Pet. 5:8; Eph. 6:12) Apart from all this, attacks can also take place even on very subtle levels. But those attuned to Christ and to His Word will recognize Satan’s dark agenda and will take the higher road, others the low road. It’s tragic, sad and true. But that is how deception works during these last days.
Secure Your Latter Day Armour
As always, the worldwide body of Christ who is unified in Spirit and in truth is called to abide in Him and to never doubt that the fragrant prayers of the faithful are heard. All parts of the warrior’s armor must be secured with prayer, vigilance and alertness during these critical days. (Eph. 6:10-18)
But the end of all things is at hand; therefore be serious and watchful in your prayers. (1 Pet. 4:8)
In an early morning vision a red moon, in a deep dark sky, was shown positioned in an eastern direction. (The picture above remarkably captures the resemblance of this moon.) Next, I was floating and saw down below a restless dark sea. Waves upon waves rolled and churned. Some waves crested with with white caps. Later while prayerfully contemplating these visions and wondering if they should be shared openly, the words “Shelter” and “Warn” were spoken.
These visions are significant considering previously posted messages relating to the spiritual ‘outpouring’ long ago declared by the Prophet Joel to take place at a specific time in human history. And being shown this latter-day red blood moon certainly is part of the same prophecies. (Cf. Rev. 6:11-13) In other words, the visions are being shown in biblical sequence:
And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, Your old men shall dream dreams, Your young men shall see visions. And also on My menservants and on My maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days.
And I will show wonders in the heavens and in the earth: Blood and fire and pillars of smoke. The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and awesome day of the Lord. And it shall come to pass Thatwhoever calls on the name of the Lord Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, As the Lord has said, Among the remnant (a people of the Lord’s righteousness) whom the Lord calls. (Joel 2:28-32)
Signs Before the Lord Returns
The Blood Moon is a celestial marker of things to come before the awesome ‘Day of the Lord’. (Gen. 1:14) The turbulent dark sea with rolling waves represents, not only the disturbance of earthly elements, it also symbolizes the restlessness of nations and a people caught in darkness, as declared by Prophet Isaiah. A mass of people who will not acknowledge Christ and who will do wickedly, as is certainly the case presently. Indeed as it was during the immoral days of Noah’s flood, so it is during these last days and with it so shall be the coming of the glorious Son of man! (Contrariwise, the cresting white caps represent a remnant and a people of righteousness who will emerge from these dark waters.)
But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest. (Is. 57:20)
But as in the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage until the day that Noah entered the Ark and knew not until the flood came and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the son of man be. (Mat. 24:37-39)
And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring. Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken. And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up and lift your heads for your redemption draweth nigh. (Lk. 21:25-28)
Comfort for GOD’S People
We are living in very prophetic days! If you haven’t done so already, you are greatly encouraged to repent and receive the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Savior while time still is a commodity. Receive deliverance and salvation! For others who are prepared, abiding in the vine and resting under the shelter of Christ’s wings, the following verses will provide comfort. Never doubt that the Lord is returning to restore order and implement His Kingdom on a new earth!
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth. indeed, he who watches over Israel will neither slumber nor sleep. the sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon by night. the LORD will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore. (Ps. 121:1)
GOD is confirming HIS Word. I am hearing “Obedient.”
Then GOD said let there be Light. And then there was light.
An Enlightening Vision
In a vision today my silver table lamp, that normally sits in middle of my kitchen table, was shown. It was shining super bright. Later, after examining it including its contents (three identical tea lights and one taller candle) the meaning was better understood. (The funny thing is that I do not remember having placed that many lights inside this lamp. But someone much Higher than me knew! )
Shedding Light on the Interpretation
Silver biblically represents redemption through Jesus Christ and the Word. The tall candle represents GOD the FATHER who is One over all. (Deut. 6:4) The other three represent the inseparable FATHER, Son and Holy Spirit. Together they form and emit One unfathomable Light.
On another level, the taller Candle represents Jesus Christ who is the Light of the world. And the other three identical lights symbolize Believers who are like-minded and who are at-One with Him! (Phil 2:2; Jn. 17:21) Today, I am left with an even deeper realization that we truly shine brighter together. Just think of the possibilities! My goodness! Praise GOD and thank you Lord.
Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life. (Jn. 8:12)
Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them. (Mat. 18:19-20)
The words of the LORD are pure words: As silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. (Ps. 12:6-7)
Keep the Faith. And keep your lamp shining bright!
Turn you at my reproof: behold, I will pour out my spirit unto you, I will make known my words unto you. (Prov. 1:23)
In an early morning vision today, water was shown pouring abundantly into one of my largest yellow earthenware bowls. Without doubt, the bowl symbolizes earthen ware vessels (2 Cor. 4:7) and the water represents the works and outpouring of the Holy Spirit (water). After getting up, the yellow bowl was pulled out from the cupboard and examined. I flipped it upside down to see if something might be written underneath. There was….and the vision was clearly understood.
China!
I am speaking to the large nation of China! To its Leader and its people! China you are being positioned for a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit! Praise the Lord! Position yourself to receive the Word! Position yourself to receive the Holy Spirit! We all have free will and the decision remains with you. But I caution this nation against rejecting heaven’s gift! Do not reject the living Word! Do not reject the works of the most Holy Spirit! Come to the Lord in full repentance and freely receive the greatest life-giving gift accorded to any human being on earth: the Holy Spirit made available by GOD through Jesus Christ because of His finished works! For those who will accommodate this holy outpouring: Prepare to receive the living word, prepare for cleansing, for fire and acceleration! Praise GOD and thank you Jesus!
And it shall come to pass afterward, thatI will pour out my spirit upon all flesh (in all nations) and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit. (2 Joel 2:28:29)
Last week I had a dream that is resurfacing and which might be pointing to a significant event. For this reason, I am taking the liberty of posting it in today’s blog. Until a confirmation is received, the interpretation will be withheld.
The Dream
In this dream I look in one direction and saw a number of unusual looking aircraft; they could have been military in nature. They were all moving in one direction while hovering above a large body of water. Next, I am sitting in a car of some kind (symbolic of a destination) with someone whose presence is related to New Wine. I tell this one to not let go of my hand and began fervently praying the Lord’s Prayer because I am aware that something big is about to happen. Suddenly, during the prayer I felt myself being lifted up in the air. It was so real, that I actually felt the movement of being lifted up in real life. And that is how the dream ended.
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. (Jn. 14:26)
This morning I was awakened with a strong remembrance of a message posted 1 year ago entitled: Waiting On the Sons. You can read about it here. Briefly noted, a young generation of Prodigal Sons (many yet unknown who are awake or who are awakening) will stand against the woke agenda. They have a timely song to sing and a mission to fulfill! Pray for these Sons! Pray for their protection. Pray that they will remain strong, humble and true to the Lord, the Holy Spirit and His Word. Support their cause for righteousness.
An extremely important message for Backsliders or for Believers who remain lukewarm! Also an extremely important message for Believers, for anyone and everyone!
RETURN TO THE VINE. I AM. (Spoken Words of Knowledge)
Affiliated Verse With Commentaries
I am the true vine, and My Father is the vine dresser. Every branch (Believer) in Me (Believers who have found salvation solely in Jesus Christ to the exclusivity of anything and anyone else) that does not bear fruit He takes away and every branch that bears fruit (every good action done in partnership with Christ because the branch is attached to Him)He prunes, that it may bear more fruit (Refers to a pruning process to stimulate the Believer’s spiritual growth with the Fruits of the Holy Spirit which promotes righteous actions and works. (Gal. 5:22-23) That noted, good works although rewarding are not requirements for salvation – it is a gift of the finished works of Christ. And yet, according to Apostle James, faith without works is dead and is important to help advance GOD’S spiritual kingdom. (James 2:14-26; Mat. 25:31-40; Rev. 14:13). We demonstrate our faith with works; it is a vindication of our claim to salvation.) You are already clean because of **the word which I have spoken to you.** Abide (The importance of the Word is highlighted in this instruction. Trough this spoken Word, Jesus was telling His ‘cleansed’ disciples to Abide – to remain – in Him) in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine(There is no worthy fruit outside of Christ. All selfish ambitions carried out by unclean people –erring Believers alike – are fruitless. Their work will amount to nothing that is worthy for the advancement of the spiritual New Kingdom. It contributes to self and at worse to the fallen kingdoms of this world that are ruled by fallen powers and principalities. ) neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.(!!) If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. **If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.** By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. (Jn. 15: 1-8)
(It is being spoken that this message is important for this hour. The Word Obedient is also being spoken.)
The Importance of Obedience & Continuity
To abide in the Vine means to obediently remain in the Lord and in His Word continuously! If you have strayed, fallen away or have become lukewarm, you are being called to repent and to Return To The Vine! In this secret place, the Great I AM will meet you wherever you are, prune you and bless you. There He will supply you with the bread of Life, His revivifying water, new wine, strong meat, oil of anointing and the fruit of His Holy Spirit. (Gal. 5:22-23; Jn. 4:14; Jn. 6:35) And there He will reveal things to you! When you abide in Christ and are obedient to His Word, you will never hunger nor thirst! (Jn. 14:15-17) The supply will never run short! His Word revealingly teaches that only then will faithful Believers be able to ask whatever they will and He will answer them! It is the type of heavenly fruit and food that will help you retain your salvation; help you fulfill your GOD-ordained missions, execute works and even greater works that are moved by genuine faith, truth with love, and all other Fruit of the Spirit. (Gal. 5:22-23; James 2:14-26; Jn. 14:12) And all this has been made wondrously possible because of Jesus Christ’s finished works on the Cross for us. Praise GOD the FATHER and praise and thank you Lord God, Son of GOD, Beloved Jesus Christ, Savior of the world.
My goodness! I am really feeling this message. It’s another Jeremiah 20:9 moment!
RETURN TO THE VINE. I AM.
Keep the Faith. And be blessed with the fruit of His holiness and righteousness.
Trust in the Lord, and do good; dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him, and he will act. (Ps. 37:3-5)
Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Prov. 3:5-6)
For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. (1 Thess. 2:13)
Keep the Faith and keep trusting GOD, you will never be disappointed! With the help of the Holy Spirit, the measure of our faith grows even more when GOD’S Word – HIS truth – is believed, received, understood and solidly implanted in our hearts and minds. Praise GOD and thank you to infinitum Lord!
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named. That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man. That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love. May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height. And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God. (Eph. 3:14-19)
Words of Knowledge and Wisdom
It was 12 o’clock midnight last week and I was reading a small booklet purchased years ago at a second-hand bookstore while vacationing out of town. Its title: ‘The Mysteries of the Kingdom.’ After having read a particular paragraph on page 7, the following Words of Knowledge were clearly spoken: “The Love of GOD”. Immediately, I thought about GOD’S Love and compassion. Affectionate thoughts about GOD loving us so much that HE sent HIS Son to redeem us from sin primarily came to mind. What a profound demonstration of HIS Love when HE sent us Jesus Christ! I also thought about how experiential godly Love really is and how it often grows, perseveres and endures through adverse and challenging circumstances. So much more could be written about GOD’S Love; about our relationship with HIM and with others, individually and collectively. And yet the Love of GOD is so glorious, immeasurable and profound that we have yet to fully understand it with our finite human minds and hearts. After prayerfully asking GOD to teach me to know HIS great Love in deeper ways, I finally fell asleep.
GOD’SLove Revealed
Fast forward to this morning when again thoughts about GOD’S Love came to mind as I went about my day. At one point, I approached my living room cabinet upon which rests one of my Bibles: ‘The Jewish Study Bible’. A personalized bookmark that was subtly sticking out suddenly became very visible. I flipped the pages and found the bookmark resting on Psalm 136: A chapter that is entirely dedicated to GOD’S steadfast and eternal Love!! Coincidence? No, no! How awesome that the Holy Spirit chose to show me a bookmark that had previously been placed there without even so much as a thought about where it would land! And how appropriate that He would show me truths about GOD’S Love in a specific Bible where the word ‘Love’ is otherwise interchanged with the word ‘Mercy’ in Chapter 136 of my other KJV Bibles. My prayer has been answered.
Praise the LORD; for He is good, His steadfast Love is eternal. (Ps. 136:1)
I encourage you today to read Psalm 136. It will help you become more acquainted with GOD’S eternal Love. It will bless you. Love and truth is GOD’S Kingdom currency that flows through faithful Believers and it is steadfast, unchanging and eternal! May the Love of Christ continue daily to dwell, to grow and fill our hearts during our earthly sojourn on this planet. Praise GOD and thank you Lord for your ‘forever‘ Love.
Parts of the following dream have been posted previously in this blog. But the dream, in its entirety, was not. Yesterday it was brought up for discussion and I felt moved to publish it again, but this time, in its entirety. So much could be said but for the sake of brevity, only salient points will be addressed.
Looking Out Of A Window: 1996
In this dream, I am standing inside a house which intersects at a corner of a street called 7th Street and another one called Balsam. It has a large window through which I am looking. It is dark outside and it is getting increasingly darker. A snow plow could be seen traveling from a western direction to the east on 7th street and plowing what appeared to be snow. At one point I heard a voice say: “Close the Curtains.” I do so. A little time later, light is seen filtering through the white curtains. As though it was my cue to do so, I return to the window and open the curtains. But this time there was no more darkness. Instead I saw the most spectacular scene. My entire field of vision was bright blue – the deepest neon blue as far as the eye can see. A herculean size and brilliant cross of bright white light intersected the sky from all directions. It intersected in the middle and reached infinitely from left to right (east and west) and infinitely again from top to bottom (north and south). If you can visualize it, the cross squared what appeared to be the sky into four perfect blue squares.
Connecting the Interpretive Dots
Looking through the window is symbolic of seeing through the lens of the Spirit and in this case, it is also seeing real events taking place in the outside world. The snow plow might or might not be symbolic. It could point to a season. And it could represent evangelistic ministries working through the time of the last and final harvest (7 is a number biblically associated with completion.) My favorite part: the brilliant white cross – it symbolizes redemption and its light symbolizes truth and resurrection power. It represents a work that will affect everyone at the four corners of the world. It is primarily indicative of the Lord Jesus Christ Who is the Light of the world and Who has overcome the works of darkness through His shed blood on the Cross. Indeed, He came as a Lamb to destroy the works of the devil on the Cross and He will return like a Lion to expel satanic darkness from this fallen world. Isaiah prophesied that darkness will cover the earth. (Is. 60:2). So much so that seeing the gross evil that will manifest in coming days in the world will not be fit for the saints of GOD. Remember Lot’s wife!
Arise and shine, for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold the darkness shall cover the earth and gross darkness the people; but the LORD shall arise upon you, and His Glory shall be seen upon you. (Is. 60:1-2)
Is this Cross of Light “the sign of the Son of Man” prophesied by the Lord to appear in the sky at the time of the great ‘Harpazo’ ? A term which has been coined in more modern times as ‘The Rapture’ ? (Lk. 21:28; 2 Thess. 4:16-18). Or is this related to the timing of Jesus’ Second Coming after seven years of tribulation when He establishes His millennial reign? I cannot ascertain. But one thing is certain! The Lord is returning and He is coming to establish and implement His Kingdom on earth!
Clues in Matthew 24
Immediately **after** the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. **Then ** the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven (Is this the Cross that was shown? It’s very possible!) and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds(4 corners of the world) from one end of heaven to the other (Angels of His Light traveling from east to west and north and south forming this great Brilliant Cross? ) (Mat. 24:29-31)
What To Do Now
My goodness! If you are not a Believer, I invite you to give your heart to the Lord, to repent of all sins and live a holy and righteous life without which no one will see GOD! If you are a Backslider, it is never too late to ask the Lord for mercy and forgiveness. Scriptures teach that GOD sometimes seals His instructions in dreams. (Job 33:15-17). And this dream is not just happenstance; the Lord is confirming His Holy Spirit inspired Word.(1 Cor. 12:7-8) We are living in precious days of grace. And the gospel of salvation and deliverance must be preached to prepare the people before the Lord Jesus Christ returns. Until such a time, it behooves us to occupy and fulfill this mission in whatever ways we are called and guided to do. Praise GOD and thank you Lord.
More Scriptural Clues
And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. (Lk. 19:13)
Watchtherefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat (spiritual food/provision/freely we have received, freely we are called to give) in due season? Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods. But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming; And shall begin to smite his fellow servants, and to eat and drink with the drunken; The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites. (Mat. 24:42-51)
Because this dream was shown in such amazing living colors and in an indelible fashion, I believe this great cosmic and supernatural event is to be shared as a testimony. (It is noteworthy that something took place this year which points to an occurrence in the dream that would place the timing just before I am told to close the curtains. )
