For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, And do not return there, But water the earth, And make it bring forth and bud, That it may give seed to the sower.  And bread to the eater,” (Is. 55:10)

A couple of days ago in vision I was shown snowshoes.  Immediately in another vision, I was shown a forest during nighttime; I could see the tree line and that the trees (tall) appeared very dark.  But the sun was shining bright above this darkness in a bright amber-colored sky.  Its rays could also be seen shining in between these tall dark trees.   

These visions were clearly understood.  Snowshoes are worn to prevent a walker from sinking in snow.  Significantly, snow falls over and covers everything that has become dormant or dead in winter.  Briefly said, it calls for Believers to keep walking higher up in the Spirit in order not to sink down into those worldly things that are dead; that are without life, that are lifeless!  

“I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.” (Gal. 5:16-18)

“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” (2 Cor. 3:17)

That the snow was white is noteworthy because it biblically and symbolically represents the Lord’s Righteousness and the righteous acts of His redeemed saints.  (Mal. 4:2; Rev.19:8 KJV )  To keep within the scope of this message, the righteous acts of His saints were conveyed in the second vision.  These are they who have been and who are presently being equipped to go out into the darkness of the outside world with the mission of evangelizing the nations with the life-giving Gospel of Jesus Christ. Though they must venture out on lifeless ground in this thick darkness, they will walk above it.  They will be guided around obstacles and around tall and dark trees which are symbolic of worldly, political and religious affluence. They will walk above lifeless temptations and traps by the awesome Sun of Righteousness’ guiding Light, the Lord Jesus Christ. (Jn. 8:12)

“Because of the tender mercy of our God, With which the Sunrise from on high will visit us, To shine upon those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death, To guide our feet into the way of peace.”  (Lk. 1:78-79)

In summary, this is a time when the Lord is calling faithful Laborers to put on their snowshoes. To live an exemplary life of righteousness in Christ and to help spread His Word and Plan of Redemption which declares that though one’s sins are crimson red, they will be made white and pure as heaven’s snow through His finished works.

“Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool” (Isaiah 1:18) 

In brief, this vision is also a call to sow and to reap the Word so that both the sower and the reaper can benefit during this latter day harvest!

^“Do you not say, ‘There are still four months and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already “white” for harvest! And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together. For in this the saying is true: ‘One sows and another reaps.’ I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors.”  (Jn. 4:35-38)

“….My kingdom is not of this world….” (Jesus in Jn. 18:36)

In a vision a few days ago I was shown a scene of a king sitting on a throne.  The scene was set in an era of antiquity. There were wide stairs leading to this throne fashioned in a semi-circular pattern with several men standing here and there on the king’s right and left side.  He was looking to his right side where a man dressed in a long dark garment stood.  This man was the closest to the throne and stood more prominent than the rest of the men.

^“Every man is brutish (a beast Cf. Psalm 49:12) by his own knowledge (earthly knowledge) every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his melting is but falsehood, and there is no breath therein.” (Jer. 10:14)

“Then the king shall do according to his own will; he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the GOD of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done.” (Dan. 11:36)

I believe that this scene symbolized in whole the Image of the Beast; an earthly kingdom that will be set up in accordance with Daniel’s prophecies. The beast is an earthly king (a person of political-religious power) who has not been enlightened by the Holy Spirit of GOD available through the Lord Jesus Christ.  The man dressed in a long dark robe standing on the king’s immediate right side symbolizes a religious figure who is in close affiliation with him.  And one that might give breath to the Image of the Beast which is the system through which he will operate.

“And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed.” (Rev. 13:12)

“He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed.” (Rev. 13:15)

The other men surrounding this king on his left and right side symbolize men of worldly importance that appear to stand in support and service of him.   All seem to be pointing to a dark empire that is being set up in accordance with prophecies written in the Book of Daniel and the Book of Revelation.

The reason this vision was shown is to confirm that prophetic events will unfold and perhaps are even now being set up.  Believers are to recognize the times and to remain in the knowledge and wisdom of the Lord.  We are called to discern the influence of the beast and its image in order not to be deceived and to avoid its mark.

A Soothing Touch

A somewhat unusual vision this morning.   I was shown hands made of a cloud-like substance (spiritual hands) softly touching both sides of my cheeks.  I immediately understood that it symbolically related to the parable of being struck on the cheeks. As I specifically thought about the “cheeks”, the following Word of Knowledge was softly spoken: “Face”. It confirmed that both cheeks were involved and explains why the word “Face” was spoken.

“But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies do good to them which hate you.  Bless them that curse you and pray for them which despitefully use you.  And unto him that strikes thee on the one cheek offer also the other (the face – both cheeks)…..But love your enemies and do good and lend……and your reward shall be great and you shall be the children of the Highest for he is kind to the unthankful and to the evil. Be you therefore merciful as your father is merciful. “ (Lk. 6:27-36)

GOD Comforts

Jesus warns us about high condemnation of others.  Yet, neither is HE teaching us to be fanatically bound to the letter meaning of this commandment. This is discerned in our Lord Jesus Himself when He obviously did not want to be unfairly stricken again. (Jn.18:22-23).  But rather in the above verses, Jesus was employing an exquisite form of expression. He was conveying a rebuke for those who did the striking.   Nothing escapes GOD. All of us who belong to HIM and who are being struck have not been abandoned by HIM. A thousand times, no! Instead, HE wants us to be reassured that HE is the Avenger, and HE wants to comfort us. In this case HE sent the soothing touch of an angelic hand. And these are angels who obediently carry out GOD’S Word on our behalf:

Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.( Ps. 103:20)

For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.  You will tread on the lion and cobra; you will trample the young lion and serpent. Because he loves Me, I will deliver him; because he knows My name, I will protect him. When he calls out to Me, I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him and show him My salvation.”   (Ps, 91:11-16)

What Not To Do

When we are unfairly accused, betrayed or stricken in any manner by others, we are called not to be vengeful, nor to retaliate but to carefully discern the situation in truth and with Love – it is Jesus’ way. To engage the enemy without guidance and protection can prove disastrous. Our FATHER who created all things, knows everything, every little detail of these assaults. If the attackers would understand the full impact of their accountability and consequences, they would retreat instantly and fearfully. I would like to encourage those of you who are in such situations to not respond to their perpetrators in kind. Instead, realize and be comforted by the presence of the Holy Comforter in you, GOD’S Word and guidance and know that there are angels who are commanded over you. You might not see them with your spiritual eyes, at least not yet – but be reassured that they are there! Most importantly, never forget that because of Jesus’s finished works you are a child of the Highest! And great is your reward when GOD’S Word is fulfilled in you.

Keep the Faith in Jesus Christ’s finished works. Be encouraged and stay strong! Keep on keeping on!

While watching and listening to a panel of televangelizing Pastors discussing aspects of the New Covenant this morning, I was shown rich, gold-colored oil pouring out from a white scoop.

INTERPRETATION:

This is a visionary case of Spirit bearing witness with Spirit and with the Word. The white scoop symbolizes a vessel of righteousness and the oil symbolizes the anointing of the Holy Spirit.  By analogy, oil symbolizes the Light of truth that illuminates and gives a greater understanding of the Written Word.  Oil, is also symbolic of wisdom, knowledge, understanding, healing and sanctification.  And oil, when combined with fire, is symbolic of the Holy Spirit baptism by fire and the anointing of the prophetic office upon a Believer – a subject for another message. It is the golden essence and substance of GOD the FATHER, flowing through the Son, through the Holy Spirit on down to accommodating Believers on earth.

When referring to the Kingdom, Jesus spoke about the parable of Ten Virgins chosen to participate in a heavenly wedding.  Five were anointed and wise and five were foolish.  The latter had fallen asleep and had no oil for their lamps; they were not prepared nor ready to meet the bridegroom (Jesus). In brief, they had not been spiritually activated because they had no oil. Consequently, they missed attending the greatest marital invitation ever extended by GOD.  The parable conveys the importance of remaining awake in the Holy Spirit and in the Word daily! It is yet another important biblical marker of latter day events that ultimately lead to the marriage supper of the Lamb.

Praises to you GOD our loving FATHER for making it possible for your people to receive the Holy Spirit through your precious and most holy Son’s finished works on the Cross. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ for making it all possible at such a great and terrible cost to yourself. Amen. ~

Recommended Reading:  The Parable of the Ten Virgins: Matthew 25:1-13. 

We are witnessing awesome days of GOD’s latter-day outpouring of HIS Spirit as written in Joel 2:28!  Such an anointing oil of gladness!

After praying for a message for the Church two days ago, I was shown a couple of red onion rings with their skins floating in a sink containing water and oil. 

INTERPRETATION:

As I was thinking about these sliced red onions, I was told that they represented human attributes of the crimson sin nature.  A nature that can only be cleansed by the washing of the Word (Bible – Eph. 5:26) and by sanctification through the Holy Spirit (oil) made available to us by the Lord Jesus Christ’s finished works on the Cross.  I know, not a popular subject for many, right!  But considering the prophetic days that are looming on the horizon, it is a timely message for each and every one of us – believers and unbelievers alike.

“If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.” (1 Jn.1-8)

The call to repent, to be prepared and ready has been posted repeatedly in different messages on this blog.  I have never had revelatory visions, dreams and spoken words to the extent that I am presently experiencing.  And with it came a calling to let others know, to be prepared and ready for the coming changes.   In brief, it is the prophetic product of the latter day outpouring which calls for the repentance and conversion of the human heart. And it is by far the greatest healing miracle of all!

As I thought about the vision, another one was shown.  This time, I was shown 7 bibles; 6 in a circle with 1 in the center.  The bibles included: a Pentecostal expositor bible, a southern Baptist bible, a non-denominational bible, a spirit-filled bible authored by an evangelical Pentecostal Pastor (foursquare) and other nkjv and kjv bibles bearing no denominational affiliations.  It was clearly understood that this bible circle represented these churches, including Believers who do not belong to any denomination but who read the Word.  All are called to intently keep their focus – their center of attention – on the complete plan of redemption, as written in the Word. That is to say, on the Lord Jesus Christ who is the Word and who was represented as the Bible in the middle.  All are called to be washed by the healing water of the Word and be sanctified by the Holy Spirit. Again, a timely message.

Together the Word and the Holy Spirit help to unpeel those onion skins – those fleshy and sinful attributes – that keep Believers shackled to sin – I am hearing ‘Darkness’. Together, they remove those layers and get to the core; to the heart of the matter.  They reveal those things that keep the human heart dark and hard.

There is danger to believe that we have attained to a state of perfection – of believing that we have arrived.  Even faithful Believers will never have fully arrived until that moment when we are transformed into our glorified bodies. Until that time when we are liberated from third dimensional laws.  A time when the corrupted body returns to the ground and the soul and spirit are lifted.  True, faithful believers have already risen to newness of life and stand at different levels of spiritual maturity and development; yet all will continue to undergo progressive sanctification.  Despite the level of spiritual maturity and development we might think we have attained – how sanctified we believe we are – life can still throw at us unexpected curve balls. And how we react when that happens always remains to be seen and experienced. But even those curve balls are life lessons and opportunities to rise to higher heights of sanctification. And yet, even that having been said and even though GOD forgives, sanctification is no excuse to sin. There can still be consequences because we risk having activated third dimensional laws. It is the penalty for having having strayed away – from not having abided in His Spirit.

We cannot hype ourselves into heightened states of self-righteousness and perfection – nor in name and claim blessings – nor expect great miracles when we are not in true covenant with GOD.  GOD is Love and is merciful and performs miracles as HE wills it but neither will HE be mocked (Gal. 6:7-8). That is to say, when unrepented sin has not been confessed; has not been effectively dealt with according to HIS plan of redemption through HIS beloved Son, Jesus Christ.

 ^“ O wretched man that I (Apostle Paul) am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God but with the flesh the law of sin.” (Rom. 7:23-25)

“Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.  Brothers and sisters, I do not consider “ yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead,  I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.  (Phil. 3:12-14)

The Word calls us to become Christlike and to be holy as GOD is holy.  And each and every day affords us the blessed opportunity to progressively reach into higher states of sanctification. The human heart can be deceptively unpredictable and hard (Jer.17:9)  But praise be to God that the holy blood of redemption, the cleansing water of His Word and the anointing oil of the precious Holy Spirit can change the human heart like nothing else!

“As for God, His way is perfect; The word of the LORD is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.” (Psalm 18:30)

In a vision early yesterday morning, I was shown a woman standing under a bright Light.  But as soon as she would step forward, her foot would be out of the Light’s parameters. She stepped back in and her foot was back under the light.  It was obvious that she was to remain under this Light until it was okay to step out and forward.

INTERPRETATION:

The woman symbolizes the redeemed Church who is in covenant with GOD our FATHER through the Lord Jesus Christ.  In brief, this vision illustrates the importance of waiting on God’s perfect timing.  Often as Believers, we are not sure what decision or direction to take.  Other times we want to step out and accomplish things out of our own misplaced will.  In all cases, it is always best to wait on the Lord’s guidance at the risk of being mislead by our own impaired intentions and desires into questionable circumstances and conditions.

During their arduous trek in the wilderness and enroute to the promised land, God under the form of a pillar of fire by night (Light) and a pillar in the cloud by day (shade) guided the chosen people.  When the pillar moved forward, the people of Israel would pack up their camp and follow behind it. And when the pillar stopped, the Israelites would set up camp with the tabernacle directly underneath.

“And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night.  He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night from before the people.” (Ex. 13:21-22)

“Because of your great compassion you did not abandon them in the desert. By day the pillar of cloud did not cease to guide them on their path, nor the pillar of fire by night to shine on the way they were to take.” (Neh. 9:19)

These Old Testament verses convey an extremely important life lesson.  Since the advent of Jesus Christ’s New Covenant, we have now become human tabernacles that house the Holy Spirit. (1 Cor. 3:16).  And as was the case for the chosen people during days of antiquity, so it is that faithful Believers continue to be guided during their earthly journeys by the same Pillar.  And this great Pillar, this great Rock in the Cloud and in the Fire was and continues to be our precious Lord God Jesus Christ:

“Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food,  and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ.” (1 Cor. 10:1-4)

GOD being ever compassionate and loving wants to guide and lead HIS people in the way shey should go. In the natural sense, we as Believers do not know what lies ahead or lurks around the corners of this fallen world but HE does.  And becauses GOD works on HIS own time and according to HIS own design, we are called to exercise patience; to wait on HIM and trust HIM. Until then, we are called to stay put. To abide with discernment in and underneath that great Pillar of cloud and fire – the guiding Light of the world – Jesus Christ. And to follow Him when He moves and wherever He leads. His plans, intentions, desires and timing for us is always perfect!

“Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (Jn.8:12)

“However, when He, the Spirit of truth (the Holy Spirit made available through the Lord Jesus Christ) has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will show you things to come.” (Jn.16:13)
