“For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places”. (Eph. 6:12)

I heard my name being called out – it was loud!  The Voice was standing on my right side and beside my head. Suddenly I felt an awesome feeling of exhilaration which I can only compare to myriads of refreshing invisible raindrops of Light touching every atom in my body.  It lingered for a while and dissipated leaving me with a beautiful feeling of peace and renewed vigor. Afterwards, I knew that this was the “refreshing” Apostle Peter had long ago declared in the Book of Acts.

INTERPRETATION:

Apostle Peter declared in the Book of Acts that this refreshing accompanies repentance:

“Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord, and that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things which God had spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.” (Acts 3:19-21)

The Greek word for “refreshing” means any kind of refreshment such as rest or deliverance from evils of any kind.  Repentance means to turn away from sin. It cleanses the heart; it illuminates the senses and it preps the human soul to receive the Lord. And yet there is so much more involved with repentance which is at the core of this message today.

The war in heaven is getting closer pending the fulfillment of end-time prophecies. Michael and His angels are cleansing the heavenly realms and are pushing the Prince of the air and His legions further down the heavenly hierarchies.  And it is here, in the 3^rd dimension, that the final battle for the New Kingdom will manifest in full force:

“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.” (Mat.11:12)

From the time of John the Baptist, the enemy has attempted to muddy the waters of salvation and repentance by causing confusion, discouragement, rebellion, misunderstanding and malaises in people, Believers included. Much of it being attributed to corrupted rulers in high places.  It is a modus operandi Satan has continuously used and is still using to reclaim his fallen kingdom.  Many are currently reporting feelings of depression, of hopelessness, heaviness and dread.  I was shown in visions that this is caused, in greater part, to this battle in the heavenlies. A battle so fierce and so increasingly near that its effects are trickling on down to earth and manifesting itself in the people below, including rulers in high places. (Rev. 12:12) A battle so fierce that only through repentance and continued faith can a Believer withstand its effects and feel the refreshing!  A battle so fierce that only the Lord and His Angels of the Light can overcome.   “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (Jn. 16:33)   “Thus says the Lord to you, ‘Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God’s.’” (2 Chr. 20:15)

Powers, principalities and rulers in high places are attempting to discourage you, to interrupt your repentance so that they can gain your soul for a fallen kingdom! And there are too many visions, too lengthy, to write about in support of this. They know that a new kingdom is being implemented and they are doing their utmost to stop this from happening. Do you see the ploy?!  Do you see the modus operandi?!

The inhabitants of the earth are in the dark Crosshairs of this battle right now.  I was literally shown this! But those who remain faithful and abide in the Lord and His plan of salvation will feel the refreshment which the Bible teaches comes from the presence of the Lord.  And this is the Voice of the Refreshing – of the Presence – that spoke to me this morning. I am encouraging you to shield yourselves with repentance, with the Word of God and with prayers. Continue to abide in GOD’s plan of salvation and in the fruits of righteousness.  There is a great battle taking place.  And I am often, often, reminded that to protract a great design is to put it in jeopardy.  It bears repeating not to put off until tomorrow what needs to be done today!

“And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,  but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.  Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” (Rev.12:7-12)

In a vision a few days ago I was shown my kitchen table.  It was covered with a table cloth or linen that had been lifted.  Every inch was covered with healthy and fresh food of all types. The Words “In Abundance” were spoken.

INTERPRETATION:

That morning while sitting at my table, the following verses were instantly brought to remembrance:

 ^“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. “ (Ps. 23:4-6)

While pondering these verses this morning, I suddenly and pleasantly noticed that my table was, in real life, surrounded with at least 5 NKJV and KJV Bibles, including commentaries and study guides. It brought a smile to my face because the most precious Holy Spirit always works in such wondrous ways!

The provisions on the table symbolized biblical truths and tenets.  And the Holy Spirit had shown me that it was the Lord who had set the table. The table was symbolic of the human heart whereas the abundant provisions symbolized His Word. In keeping with the above verses, it follows that when we ingest the Word – study and apply it – we are strengthened, emboldened and made more knowledgeable in discerning the ruses and attacks of the enemy.  Most importantly, we recognize that we have a Shepherd whose rod and staff comfortingly guide His Lambs in the right direction during times of darkness and who will protect them from the enemy.  And these are certainly times of darkness pending the return of the Lord to stake His claim on this fallen planet.  To be a Lamb in the flock means that darkness has no jurisdiction and authority in your life. The enemy has no jurisdiction and authority over the faithful Believer who abides in the finished works of Christ. And over the faithful Believer who partakes of His abundantly amazing, life giving Word.  Most importantly, no authority and no power over the Son! (Spoken Word) But, we must believe!  And we must have faith!

Be encouraged today!  Take out your holy bibles and ingest the nourishing truths and revelations which only the Lord can activate in you through the works of the Holy Spirit.  Believe that He will set the table! 

“Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross;  And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them openly (an open spectable) triumphing over them in it.” (Col. 2:14)

“Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war.  His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself.  He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.”  (Rev. 19:11-13)

I am hearing “Instructed”. 

Praise the Lord, and thank you Jesus!

“And Jesus said, ‘I tell you, unless you repent you will all likewise perish.’” ( Lk. 13)

In a vision this morning, I was shown a white bathtub containing dirty water.  Accompanying spoken Words of Knowledge:  “LUKE 13”.  While waiting to hear more, the Words  “THE CHURCH” were spoken.

INTERPRETATION:

This message is for the Church.  A message bearing a critical warning. A message that conveys judgement but at the same time calls to right what is wrong on so many levels. It is as much personal as it is corporate and has political and religious application on a worldwide scale.

The bathtub is a place of cleansing.  That the water was dirty symbolizes the importance of being cleansed from sin. It also conveys that it is time to pull out the plug, to let the dirty waters flow down the drain and let the bathtub be replenished with the clean unadulterated waters of the Word and the Holy Spirit! It is a time to be cleansed from the dirt of the world and it is a time to be rejuvenated and renewed in the healing waters!

From reading Luke chapter 13, it is understood that the waters of true repentance have been muddied for too long with the mixture and filth of the counterfeit.  It has been muddied by apostate, hypocritical, religious authorities whose false doctrines promote legalism. And whose earthly doctrines, laws, false prophecies and teachings are unable to cleanse – to heal – a Believer unto true repentance. Jesus also spoke about the influence of corrupted political authorities upon the church.  This is clearly seen when Pilate was singled out for having mingled the blood of the Galatians with the holy sacrifice. Pilate, it seems, had appropriated the treasuries of the temple for his own filthy lucre and profit. History repeatedly bears proof of the negative impact that corrupted religious and political authorities can impose upon a people. And history is fated to repeat itself until the Lord subjugates all powers unto Himself and returns a new Kingdom to His Father.  (Dan. 12:7; 1 Cor. 15:24)

In Luke 13, Jesus speaks of the narrow way that leads to eternal life and that few would find it.  In a dream a few months ago I was shown people waiting outside somewhere and standing at a gate.  But only one who had repented according to the finished plan of salvation was allowed through the narrow gate.  Those others on the outside recognized Jesus as Lord but they were still workers of iniquity.  To them Jesus will outrightly declare:

“….I tell you I do not know you where you are from.  Depart from me all you workers of iniquity.  There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth”. (Lk. 13:27-28)

In Luke Chapter 13, we importantly learn that all have sinned regardless of rank, authority and deceiving external appearances!  And twice Jesus declared: “Repent or Perish”.  The clarion call to repent is sounding louder because the Lord is separating His people from a corrupted society. And the people worldwide, including religious and political authorities have been given so much time and opportunity already to choose which side to stand on.  GOD has been unimaginably and mercifully patient.  Yet nothing corrupted; nothing with mixture, nothing with leaven, nothing with sin, can enter the New Kingdom!

It can be a difficult time for the repented Believer right now  – even if you are standing on the right side – because Satan knows his time is drawing short and he is intensifying his attacks on the remnant who keep the word of the Lord.  But those whose hearts have been renewed through repentance recognize the apostasy of our time.  And although GOD has been patient, Luke 13 clearly teaches that there will an appointed time when multitudes will be cut off. To the faithful, I encourage you to continue to abide in the Blood of the Lamb, in the fruits of the Holy Spirit and be those awesome and blessed holy trees of righteousness!  To those still on the outside: God is loving and merciful; there is still time for you but the hour is getting late.

“Come out from amongst them and be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean. And I will receive you. I will be a Father to you, And you shall be my sons and daughters says the Lord Almighty.” (2 Cor 6:17)

“And I heard another voice from heaven saying ‘Come out of her my people lest you share in her sins and lest you receive of her plagues’.”  (Rev. 18:4)

“Then the Lord answered me and said: Write the vision.  And make it plain on tablets. That he may run who reads it.”  (Hab. 2:2)

VISION:

In a vision during prayer this morning, a church bench made of wood was shown. It was as though I was standing in the aisle, looking on my right side and down the length of this bench.  The front bench ahead of this one, however, was not levelled to the ground.  It stood higher up in the air.  I had the impression – a knowing – that there were more benches in front of the previous ones that were positioned increasingly higher. Suddenly, a man wearing hiking boots comes running from the right side escalating the back of the bench and stepping on to the higher bench in front of it.  On and on he would hike and escalate these benches.   Immediately following the vision, the following Words were spoken:  “WRITE IT DOWN.”

INTERPRETATION:

The Spoken Words “WRITE IT DOWN” means to let the vision be known so that he who reads it can benefit from it.

It is clear that this message is a call for the church to rise to higher heights of faith in the Lord and in His finished works. Many are unable to escalate and experience breakthroughs in the Church today because there is a lack of faith, unconfessed and/or unrecognized sin in their lives.  This is a time to fully recognize that Jesus Christ can forgive and redeem all sins for those who will confessedly come to Him seeking pardon.  This is a time to recognize that there exists a Holy Comforter and Counsellor who can help during times of doubts and duress.  This is a time to recognize that the written Word provides the blueprint to living life in heightened states of faith. And this is a time to clear and cleanse the mind and the heart!

Some in the Church today still have one foot in the world and are unable to climb higher. Some are trying to live their lives according to their own wills instead of aligning themselves with GOD’s Will.  Others are attempting to manipulate the Word to suit their purposes instead of allowing the Word to show them their purposes.  Some others are led astray by false doctrines.  Still some others are so saddled with the cares of the world, given to discouragement and so riddled with fear that it has paralyzed them. Some say they have faith and believe but do they really? Most are trying to escalate through the wide road of the world and of wavering belief instead of the narrow way which the Lord has made passable.

“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. “(Mat. 7:13-14)

We are living in awesome times of repentance as we await the return of the Lord to stake His claim in full in Believers’ hearts and minds. It is pouring rain but many are unable to hear it, nor see it, nor receive it because their minds and hearts are cluttered with too much debris.  It has deafened and blinded the wayward and sometimes even the unsuspecting Believer. There is an awesome Light of truth and of Love beckoning the faltering Believer to climb to higher heights of faith and belief in the finished works of the Lord Jesus Christ.  You can do this thing! You have been equipped with the proper footware! Some are already coming! I am feeling a sense of excitement about this vision!!

This is a time to take stock of ourselves! This is a time to get real!  It is high time for the church to come out of entrapments and make that hike onward and upward towards the Lord’s Light and receive the blessings!

A “prophetic” word this one!  (Spoken Word of Knowledge)

“The path of life leads upward for the wise. That he may keep away from Sheol.” (Prov. 15:24)

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. “ (Is. 60:1)

Keep the Faith!  Suzanne

“For God so loved the world that He sent His only begotten Son so that whosoever believe in Him will not perish but have life eternal.” (Jn. 3:16)

Prefacing the Message

The most sacrosanct historical event and doctrine of truth honored by faithful Christians worldwide is the sacrificial death of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Of all the visions shown, the Crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ is the one that I hold the dearest to my heart.   It brings memories of GOD’S extreme and unfathomable Love for fallen humanity and of a concealed and unique plan that had been orchestrated and spearheaded by the Lord Himself ages before.  A divine plan that originated in the garden many generations earlier began wending its way in the lineages of Adam, on through the Hebraic Age and to His ultimate advent amongst a chosen people over two thousand years ago. When Jesus advocated forgiving offenders 70 x 7 times, He was referring – on a higher note – to this long-time concealed yet prophetic plan of redemption that had been woven in the fabric of time and which culminated with His selfless Sacrifice.  Jesus paid a high price to succor us from entrapment under Satan’s authority and influences. And although it was my preference to keep this vision private, it was recently recognized that it was shown as a testimony for the world.

The Vision

I am suddenly being shown an aerial view of the Crucifixion scene; it was different from anything else I had seen in pictures and movies.  It was dark and I was aware that people had lit small fires here and there on a flat ground in the distance.  And it was by the glow, by the light,  of these amber-flickering fires that I saw Jesus. The bottom of the Cross on which He hung stood maybe only about 1 to 2 feet up from above the ground. The top part of the Cross was not as long as is depicted in illustrations or images- only perhaps one to 2 feet above Jesus’ head. I could see by the placement of His shoulders that our dear Lord had His arms over and around the horizontal bars, not straight out.  His head hung down towards his chest and veered to the left a little. His long hair dangled and fully covered His face.  Jesus, at this point, had lost consciousness I was immensely, profoundly, struck by His humanity. This mighty and holy Son of GOD – a Majesty in heaven – hung on that deadly Cross as a man. A man who felt all the pain associated with a human body.  And yet so, so, much more because He also bore humanity’s mental, physical and spiritual burdens.  No written words can make this scene justice…  Behind Jesus and not too far in the distance was a huge wall of rock, it could have been an escarpment, I am not sure.  I could not see the whole of it because I was too close to Jesus to peripherally see any further.  The vision lingered a little and then faded.  Amen.

Interpretation

Golgotha means skull.  On that fateful and prophetic day, Jesus’ Cross crushed the summit of Mount Golgotha. It crushed Satan’s skull; dethroning him from all authority.  The life of the blood that flowed from Jesus’ veins and trickled down Mount Golgotha – also symbolic of the lost one’s kingdom – had the power to release lost souls who had been held captive under Satan’s authority.  The head of the serpent had been crushed and the supreme Head of the Church and of the New Kingdom took His place of authority.  Praise GOD! Praise the Lord!

Some time later, the following Words of Knowledge were spoken:  “Two Drops On the Cross.”  This symbolized that with the blood, water also flowed from our Lord’s side.  Because of His blood sacrifice, Jesus released the waters of the precious Holy Spirit.  I am hearing “gift”.  And what a gift it is! A gift that deserves the utmost honor and respect in our lives.

“Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” (Acts 2:38)

Because of Jesus’ Sacrifice, repentant sinners receive forgiveness and the gift of the Holy Spirit.   Because of His Sacrifice, repentant sinners become justified, sanctified (instantaneously but also progressively) and will ultimately be glorified. There is no one else on earth, below earth or above the earth, empowered to forgive and give Life – and life eternal – to the Lost. Jesus’ sacrifice was the final blow that defeated Satan, it was the final nail in death’s coffin! 

I pray that this testimony blesses you as much as it has humbled and blessed me for many years.  And even more now, many years later. Thank you GOD. Thank you Lord God Jesus. Sometimes, there are no human words to describe the gratitude of a saved soul.

“Oh Death where is your sting?  O Hades where is your victory?  The sting of death is sin and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God who gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.  Therefore my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. (1 Cor. 15:55-58)

Keep the Faith in the Lord’s Finished Works,

A couple of weeks ago during prayer, I suddenly had a strong feeling of an interior stretching. Something had taken place – in the spirit – that felt like an elongation.   An enlargment. And yesterday while reading the Word, the significance of what had taken place was too important not to share as a testimony.  It supports biblical tenets and it confirms the operations of the Holy Spirit during these latter days.

INTERPRETATION:

This interior stretching speaks of a transitional growth process that leads us to more mature stages of spiritual development in Christ.  In other words, we as faithful Believers are growing into His stature.  Those who have allowed this sanctification process to take place know that it is not always easy. And those who do the work of the Lord might feel this more on different levels because “much is expected from whom much is given.”

I am reminded of a vision from years ago in which angels were shown measuring me.  From shoulder to shoulder.  From the top of my head down the length of my back.  The vision ended knowing that I had been fully measured. This was interpreted to mean that growing into the stature of Christ requires that we will meet conditions in life that will cause us to stretch and grow beyond our fleshly comfort zone.   But those who abide in the Lord and persevere with faith; despite the complaints of the flesh, will be greatly blessed as declared by Luke in the following verse:

“Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” (Lk. 6:37)        

Nothing goes by unnoticed by Jesus Christ, who is the head of the Church and the New Kingdom. Consider also the following verse:

“Then I (John) was given a reed like a measuring rod. And the angel stood, saying, “Rise and measure the temple of God, the altar, and those who worship there.” (Rev. 11:1)

When reading and contemplating this verse, I heard in the Spirit “en dernier” which means “in the end”. This means that we will, in the end and at the time of fulfillent, have to give account for everything done during our earthly lives. Every situation and every condition we successfully overcome in this lifetime is bearing fruit for the Kingdom of GOD in heaven. It is already manifesting in the spiritual Kingdom!  If Believers could only see with their eyes the fruit of their labors, they would greatly rejoice even amidst earthly trials. And for those things in which we have sinned and fallen short, there is forgiveness in the blood of the Lamb for the contrite and repentant heart. We are being prepared to worship in the highest heavenly courts! We are being prepared for a final measurement! We are being measured to be custom-vested in a garment of the whitest fabric of righteousness that is befitting of the Bride of Christ.  The glorified body! Praise the Lord and thank you Jesus!

In summation of this post, I leave you with the following Word “PERSEVERE”.  It was a Word that was spoken to me many, many times.  And it is still a word of encouragement that keeps this Believer pressing on in the Faith regardless of setbacks, conditions and situations. And sometimes when we feel that we have stretched as far as we can, more stretching might be needed. We are being stretched!  But rest assured it is all for very good reason! 

“And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, ill we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,  but, speaking the truth in love, may grow up in all things into Him who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.” (Eph.4:11-16)

“But we all, with uncovered face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.“

Keep the faith in the Lord’s Finished Works!
