Yesterday I was shown a straight red line that extended horizontally and infinitely from East to West. While pondering its meaning, the word ‘gift’ was spoken. And then later the Word “Testify” was also spoken.
It was soon understood that this was a division, a separation and a protective boundary line which also, by analogy, represents the crimson bloodline of the Lord Jesus Christ. And it is a gift given by a loving and compassionate FATHER to the redeemed Church across the world: from as far as the East is from the West. That is to say, to everyone who has turned away from sin and has been pardoned. To the faithful who obediently endure and abide in the perfection of Christ and His New Covenant. To everyone who is justifiably reconciled to GOD through the blood of HIS living Son, Jesus the Christ!
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. (Ps. 103:12)

But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. (Rom. 5:7-9)
According to Strong’s #3709, the word Wrath is derived from oregomai; properly, desire, i.e., violent passion (justifiable) abhorrence); by implication punishment.
Then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment. (2 Pet. 2:9)
Make Haste Carefully
A powerful message! Encouraging all unbelievers and lukewarm believers during these latter days to seek and find the Lord of grace and mercy while He might be found. Praise GOD and thank you Lord Jesus.
(I am hearing a Word of confirmation on this message.)
Keep the Faith. And make straight the way of the Lord!
For I (Apostle John) rejoiced greatly, when the Brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you. I have no greater joy than this, to hear of my children walking in the truth. (3 Jn. 1:4)
Equipped
This morning I was instructed in the Spirit to post the following vision experienced a few days ago. A pair of well used and knee-high leather boots were shown. Both boots were separately fastened around the heel and ankle with a belt and gold buckle.
Truth
Based on scriptures, a belt and buckle symbolically point to truth. Meaningfully, it was the first item Apostle Paul noted when describing GOD’S spiritual armor. A belt symbolizing truth (worn around the waist) was needed to effectively battle powers and principalities in high places. (Eph. 6:14)
But to remain within the context of this vision, these belts were fastened around two separate boots. In this case, they symbolized Believers whose feet – or walk – are covered and buckled with truth. And because there are two boots, it follows that one boot represents the Word and the other represents the Holy Spirit of Truth. These two paired together are a match inspired from and made in heaven. (2 Pet. 1:21)
Why?
Believers are called to walk in truth for the purposes of keeping the plan of sanctification intact and to keep their walk secured in the Lord. Until we breathe our last breath on this planet and the Lord establishes His throne on a new earth, there will be attacks, challenges, tests and trials. But those who walk in truth will more effectively walk around and even above these minefields. Said in an oversimplified manner, those who walk in the Spirit will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh. (Gal. 5:16)

Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. (Jn. 17:17)
He who loves Me not keeps not My sayings (words) and the Word which you Hear is not Mine but the Father’s which sent Me. These things have I spoken unto you being yet present with you. But the Comforter which is the Holy Spirit, Whom the Father will send in My Name, He shall teach you all things and bring all things to our remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” (Jn. 14:24-26)
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me (Jesus) for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. (Jn 16:13-15 Cf. Jn. 14:24-26)
Teach me (through the Word and the Holy Spirit’s guidance and teachings) your way, O Lord; I will walk in Your truth; Unite my heart to fear your name. I will praise You, O Lord my God with all my heart: and I will glorify Your Name forever more. For great is Your Mercy toward me and You have delivered my souls from the lowest Hell….but you O LORD are a God full of compassion and gracious, long suffering and plenteous in Mercy and Truth. (Ps. 86:11-13)
Confirmation
This morning I received a daily devotional quote on my cell phone. And by no small coincidence it reads:
And as many as walk according to this rule (the plan of complete salvation through Christ Jesus’ sacrifice) peace be on them and mercy, and upon the Israel (includes in-grafted Gentiles) of God. (Gal. 6:16)
(I just now realized that the boots and belts were made of the same color and material as my leather-bound kjv bibles. It stands out that the Cross of Christ is the gold centerpiece, gold buckle and truth that holds the whole story of salvation and sanctification intact. No small coincidences, for sure! The Holy Spirit confirms GOD’S Word in wondrous, mysterious and uplifting ways!)

Keep the Faith. The grace, mercy and peace of our Lord Jesus Christ – who is the way, the truth and the life – be with you in Word and in Spirit.
At about 3 am this morning, a page being flipped was shown. On the page a newscast of Hurricane Fiona on track to strike eastern Canada was shown. The words: message, urgent and share were spoken. With the vision came the awareness to let friends and acquaintances, all people who live in that region, know about the importance of not only preparing for this coming hurricane but most importantly to humbly turn and pray to GOD in the name of Jesus for divine intervention. Pray that the mighty Hand of GOD will grab this thing by its tail and cast it away into the deep sea where it will dissipate into nothingness. And because there is strength in numbers, I am kindly soliciting readers to join in prayer.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Phil. 4:6-7)
The Lord rebuked the wind and the sea and restrained a mighty storm more than two thousand years ago, He can certainly do it again. I am encouraging you to get into the boat with Jesus – with Him there is peace, security and comfort in all storms. Peace, be still.
It bears repeating to not put off until tomorrow what is in your power to do today. Believers are encouraged to enter their prayer closets and follow the guidance and lead of the Holy Spirit during these latter days.
Always be, first and foremost, prepared spiritually. And then prepare physically as moved by Him and by common sense of what is happening in the world today.
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart! (Ps. 32:11)
A Photograph
In a vision a couple of days ago, I was shown our beloved Lord Jesus. Although His presence has been experienced in different ways throughout the years, this was different. His face was shown in a photograph. How can I describe Him in words that capture this vision? The Lord was wearing a crew-neck robe that appeared pearl-like in color. And, yes, Jesus is beautiful. But what stood prominent was His warm, welcoming, lovely and familiar smile. His dangling shoulder-length and chestnut-colored hair previously shown on that dreadful Cross many years ago was no longer covering His anguished face. The appearance of Jesus’ face was one of radiance, light and joy!
A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
A photograph allows us to capture memorable moments in time and preserve them for years to come. It allows us to see multitudes of things even when we are miles and miles apart. Without delving into complicated and technical issues, it bears noting that a camera primarily needs light and lenses in order to produce photographs.
To remain within the scope of this message, the Bible definitely teaches that the Holy Spirit has been appointed to show us things, even things to come. It follows – by analogy only – that He is the Master Photographer. A Photographer who, through the light of truth and the lenses of spiritual eyes, was showing this Believer a snapshot of a joyful Jesus. It is my belief that this was the physical resemblance of Jesus when He walked on earth as a man and perhaps even in glorified form. (But the latter is so, so, much more explosive and powerful….) And yet some have described seeing Him bearing Jewish traits with dark hair, eyes and olive skin. Without doubt, we will better understand these differences when we are vested in our glorified bodies with the help of heavenly faculties. We have vastly so much more to learn!
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. (Jn.16:13)

Purpose in a Vision
Briefly, I had been shown the joy of the Lord in photographic form.
We keep photographs of loved ones as cherished remembrances. Especially so if they are gone physically and have crossed over into eternity. (A photograph of a dearly departed loved one was shown a couple of years ago displaying the same joyful state and radiance as Jesus). It was a reminder that we will be like the Lord when the body is glorified and that there is joy in heaven, for sure! (1 Jn. 3:2)
Although the world is increasingly being steeped in gross darkness and so many difficult challenges come against Believers, Joy can still be experienced when we keep – like a photograph – the reassuring remembrance of the Lord in our hearts. And, my oh my, all that is experienced on this old earth – from the lowest lows to the highest highs – will certainly pale in comparison to what awaits the faithful Believer in the new heaven and on the new earth. Praise GOD and thank you Jesus!
And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away. Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” (Rev. 21:4-5)
Keep the Faith. Keep your eyes intently fixed on Jesus. And keep heaven in your heart. 🙂
‘Soon after the telegraph was invented the term ‘grapevine telegraph’ was coined – first recorded in a US dictionary in 1852. This distinguished the new direct ‘down-the-wire’ telegraph from the earlier method, which was likened to the coiling tendrils of a vine.’ (Source: phrases.com)

Hearing the Word
I enjoy listening to scriptural verses on you tube; often they are accompanied with soft relaxing background music. Such was the case a few days ago when suddenly deep, rich green foliage appeared in my field of vision. In the middle of these bright and dewy fruit leaves an ear was shown.
Spirit Bears Witness
Clearly, the ear symbolically conveyed that this was a case of Spirit bearing witness with Spirit. (Rom. 8:16) Like the coiling tendrils and leaves of a grapevine, the living Word had traversed space, time and the electronic media to confirm GOD’S written truth. I was being shown that when the unadulterated Word is preached and it is received with faith and belief (heard) wonderful things are brought to fruition. Not only is faith increased, so is wisdom, knowledge, understanding, healing, comfort and so, so much more!

Related Scriptural Verses
And we continually thank God because, when you received the word of God that you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as the true word of God–the word which is now at work in you who believe. (1 Thess. 2:13)
But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. But I say, Have they not heard? Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world. (Rom. 10:16-18)
For we also received the good news just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, since they did not share the faith (belief in the Lord Jesus Christ’s finished works and all that it contains) of those who comprehended it. (Heb.4:2)
Be greatly encouraged in the Word today. Pick up your Holy Bible and get into the grapevine with Jesus! (Jn.15) His soothing and healing leaves will bless you in ways you cannot even imagine! If you will believe.

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season;his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. (Ps. 1:1-3)
Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast (a red sacrificial bull?) that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. (Rev. 17:3)
As I thought about the following article released today concerning red sacrificial heifers and the warnings that have been given to Israel, the following Words of Knowledge were spoken: Post It
The stage is being set as latter-day events are underway in preparation for the building of the 3rd temple in Israel. All pieces are increasingly being strategically placed on the checkered chest board of the world as Israel anticipates the first ever appearance of her Messiah. She tragically and blindly still fails to recognize that the sacrificial Messiah already came to save her from the laws of earthly entrapment more than two-thousand years ago.
For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins. (Heb. 10:4)

** Recommended Reading: Hebrews 9:11-28
Keep the faith in the Lord’s finished works. Only He can pardon and purge humanity’s sins through the shedding of His blood. It was a one-time sacrifice!
In anticipation of things yet to come it would behoove, not only Israel, but everyone everywhere to turn away from the fallen things of the world, pray and spend intimate time with the Lord.
And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. (Mat. 4:18-20)
Small Fishermen
I was reminded this morning of a vision from years ago in which a fisherman was shown casting his fishing line towards a computer. As I thought about it this morning, the following Words of Knowledge were spoken: “A Small Fisherman But A Fisherman Nonetheless.“
Keep Casting!
This message is a word of encouragement for all of you who have been genuinely called to serve in small online ministries or any other small ministries. Know that your work is being acknowledged! Whatever sphere of influence you have been given, you are making a difference in fulfilling the Great Commission. Let His unadulterated Word and true Doctrine of Salvation be the jig of righteousness that is cast out (a small fisherman can draw loads of fish if he has the proper fishing gear when he casts in the ‘right’ place.) Follow the Lord and He will lead you. Always let the precious Holy Spirit be your Teacher, Guide and Comforter. Be wise as serpents but gentle as doves. And take care never to forget the valuable lessons learned along the way; they will serve you well.
Be reminded never to despise small beginnings. After all, look Who and what came out of Nazareth. (Jn. 1:43-46) 🙂
And he (Jesus) said unto them, Cast the net on *the right side* of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. (Jn. 21:6)
Keep the Faith. And keep casting in His righteousness!
I was eyes to the blind and feet to the lame. (Job 29:15)
After having prayerfully inquired if the Lord wanted to send a message for the Church around the world, the following vision unfolded. Prescription sunglasses were shown with heart-shaped frames. The heart on the right side of the frame, interestingly, appeared more pronounced.

Sunlight and the Human Body
The human body needs sunlight for health and to function properly but too much of it can have adverse effects. It can damage the DNA of human skin cells that leads to cancer; it can cause dehydration, hyponatremia, heat exhaustion and heatstroke. But I digress – to remain within the scope of the vision it is noteworthy that too much sunlight can cause serious eye disorders that lead to blindness. Solar Retinopathy occurs when UV light literally burns a hole in the retinal tissues which results in a blind spot in the central vision. Wearing sunglasses is an important medium that help protect our eyes from bright sunlight and high-energy visible light that can discomfort and damage the eyes. They soothingly allow us to see and perceive objects more efficiently in bright sunshine. I really enjoy my brand of Eagle Vision sunglasses for long-distance driving as they allow me to see comfortably for hours without eye strain.
GOD’S Light & the Spiritual Body
Briefly, this vision symbolically conveys that when we as Believers walk in GOD’S Light, we are equipped with protective and corrective eye wear that allows us to perceive the things of this world through the filter of heart-shaped lenses: GOD’S Love. And the Light that we are walking in is the Word and awesome glory of the Lord. A glory so unfathomable that our physical bodies in the natural cannot completely and in full measure sustain it. A glory that can be likened to high voltage spirit energy that only the highest heavenly realms can accommodate. Consider Apostle Paul’s blinding experience when the Lord appeared to him on his way to Damascus! Albeit the Lord still lives in us and we in Him. And as we grow in Him, we are being uniquely transformed in proportion to His image from glory to glory until the day of complete transformation: glorification. And then we shall see Him as He is for we shall be changed into His likeness. (1 Jn. 3:2) Praise GOD!
I am not asking on behalf of them alone, but also on behalf of those who will believe in Me through their message, that all of them may be one as you Father are in me and I am in You. May they also be in Us so that the world may believe that you have sent Me. I have given them the glory You gave Me, so that they may be one as We are one. (Jn. 17:22)
The Right Side
I keep my eyes always on the LORD. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. (Ps. 16:8)
It is very uncommon not to have a dominant eye. In this case, it is appropriate that the heart (love) on the right side of the frame was highlighted because it is the side of RIGHTeousness. And this should always be the Believer’s primary focus: to Love GOD with all our hearts, souls and minds first and foremost! A very appropriate message during these latter days of the final harvest.
The LORD is thy keeper: the LORD is thy shade upon thy right hand. The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night. The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul. The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. (Ps. 121:5-8)
The LORD gives sight to the blind, the LORD lifts up those who are bowed down, the LORD loves the righteous. (Ps. 146:8)
Summing it Up
In brief, to walk according to GOD’S Love means that we are walking in the Spirit and are better able to discern the things of this world according to His Truth. GOD’S Love is immeasurable and is never without Truth. To remove these corrective metaphoric sunglasses – Love and truth – means that we are seeing the world with human eyes. That is to say with impaired perception; with earthly wisdom, distorted knowledge and understanding that ultimately will lead to spiritual blindness and a stumbling faulty walk. But praise GOD that Jesus came to bring illumination and restore vision to the blind! It is because of Him and His finished works in combination with the Holy-Spirit and His inspired Word that we can keep walking in the Light securely until the last day.
The Spirit of the LORD is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed…(Jesus)
Keep the Faith. And keep focused on the Lord because His Love in us never fails!
On August 28, 2022, Israeli news reported that hundreds of Jews were led by the police to enter the Temple site through a different gate: The Gate of the Tribes which is located in the northeastern corner. Its name refers to Israel’s 12 tribes. It is a first time event since 1967 for the Jews and it has significant meaning for those knowledgeable with biblical prophecy.
After reading the article, I understood why a moat of some kind and a bridge leading up to the gate had been shown. In retrospect, it is prophetic of significant latter-day events. (I had not seen this picture of the temple and its bridge until this evening.)
Jesus answered and said to them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” Then the Jews said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days? But He was speaking of the temple of His body. (Jn. 2:19-21)
