For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled. (2 Cor. 10:4-7)

At the Bottom of the Sea

In a vision recently an old pile of trash, covered with barnacles, at the bottom of the seafloor was shown. It lingered a little and then faded out.

Biblical Interpretation

The scene was showing that strongholds – which is part of the sinful nature – is comparable to old trash that must be discarded! Strongholds can be anything that we hold on to and which avoids us from becoming Christ like. It can include unforegiveness due to bitterness, resentment and rejection; sins, negative thoughts and habits, emotional wounds of all kinds, false doctrines, fallen religiosity, and even persecution when it is not forgiven. But thanks be to GOD, the scene also displayed that sin and strongholds can be cast down through the Lord Jesus Christ when a Believer earnestly repents. It is all part and parcel of experiential and progressive sanctification; a process of perfection that incrementally changes Believers into the Lord’s image. (2 Cor. 3:18) When we earnestly and sincerely repent, God symbolically takes those strongholds and sins and casts them down into the deepest and darkest oceanic abyss, never to resurface again.

We cannot remove our sinful nature and strongholds by our own volition and power. It is the risen and indwelling Lord and merciful Lamb Himself who does this through His shed blood. The New Covenant Blood! Our role is to “look up” (Spoken Words of Knowledge) from where our help comes from; get ‘the self’ out of the Holy Spirit’s way and let Him do His awesome work of sanctification through repentance and the Word. Importantly, it is to believe that the Lord Jesus Christ not only deactivates sin and strongholds, He can remove them! It is He who puts underfoot powers and principalities in high places that can beset even the faithful here on earth! (Eph. 6:12; Col. 2:15-17) Jesus’ got this! He got this on a momentous Cross more than two thousand years ago.

Who is a God like You, pardoning iniquity and passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in mercy. He will again have compassion on us, And will subdue our iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. (Micah 7:17-19)

If you are struggling with iniquities and strongholds that keep you in bondage; I am testifying to you that the Lord Jesus Christ has made a way of escape from sin and death for you in a big, big way! (Rom. 23:6) Take care not to put off until tomorrow what needs doing today. Eternity and an awesome glorified body of Light clothed in white awaits you! Rejoice in this truth! Praise GOD and thank you Lord God Jesus Christ!

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, From whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the LORD, Which made heaven and earth. (Ps. 12:1-2)

For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. (Rom. 8:6)

A Particular Helmet

Simple visions convey meaningful interpretations. So was the case yesterday when I was shown in a flash vision a woman wearing a biking helmet. The emphasis was clearly on the helmet.

Interpreting the Vision

Briefly and from a biblical perspective, the woman represents Believers in the body of Christ whose headship and covering is the Lord, Jesus Christ. (Eph.5:23) The helmet symbolizes the helmet of salvation which forms part of the Believer’s spiritual armor, as described by Apostle Paul. It is analogous to spiritual head gear for the mind which protects the Believer from receiving and expressing negative and sinful thoughts, including wrongful doctrines. Importantly, it also protects the mind against adversarial attacks.

Narrow is the Way

The Word teaches that we are responsible to “take the helmet”. That is to say, it is our responsibility to yield to the Holy Spirit who opens our understanding of the Word of GOD. (Lk.24:45) And that from this point on, all instructions that fortify us to walk, or in this case ride, on the narrow road that leads to life will be given and will be understood! (Mat. 7:13-14)

 Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel. (Eph. 6:13-19)

In these verses, the great Apostle Paul also requested prayers from Believers to help him fulfill his mission for evangelizing. How much more should we, in the Body of Christ, who are called in the Lord’s service request prayers from the faithful to help us accomplish our own missions.

Just a quick reminder today for Believers to secure your armors including your protective helmets daily!

Therefore He says: “When He ascended on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts to men.” (Eph. 4:8)

In a vision recently an open bag containing bright white adult running shoes, with colored stripes, were shown. Suddenly, a scene on a GPS screen which displayed multiple roads and points of interest appeared in mid air. But my attention was drawn to a major highway which was marked with a large Sunflower. The scene changed and a separate vision was shown in which more bags were placed in front of Believers.

Your Own Unique Gift

The greatest gift ever accorded to mankind is salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ’s finished works on the Cross. But our Lord’s love and generosity for His people doesn’t stop there! After having descended on this planet and ascending back on high, He gave and continues to give Believers their own unique spiritual gifts for their own transformative benefits and for the purpose of harmoniously blessing others in the Body of Christ. (1 Cor. 12:4-11) So with that in mind, back to the visions and what it means to the Church.

What About that Sunflower?!

Well, my goodness! A Sunflower is a type of angiosperm plant which means, that although it appears to have only one large flower head, it is actually composed of thousands of tiny florets at its center. The word angiosperm which is derived from the Greek translates angeion to mean “vessel” and sperma to mean “seed”. And each of the tiny florets inside the Sunflower has reproductive capabilities of producing their own seeds? Altogether, the bright golden Sunflower can produce anywhere between 1,000 to 2,000 seeds.

A Home Run

The Lord, through the Holy Spirit, is gifting His mature saints with proper footwear for the purpose of evangelizing the good news of salvation (adult running shoes). White represents the Lord’s righteousness, holiness and purity appropriated by the mature Christian who abides in Him. And the colored stripes represent the Holy Spirit’s diverse methods of operations. The Lord is He who guides the Believer to where He must go as symbolically discerned by the mapped GPS. (Ex. 13:21-22) And each one who is genuinely called has a specific road he must travel.

Altogether the Holy Spirit is conveying that when the Lord calls a Believer, He will ensure that he is properly equipped to walk this earth in fulfillment of his earthly mission until He returns Home to Him. The “vessel” or the Believers’ responsibility is to continuously abide in Christ, who is the Head of the Church, in order to be transformed into His image and to propagate His Seed which is His Word. (Lk. 8:11; Mk. 16:15) It is by analogy comparable to the seed-bearing florets who abide in the Sunflower’s large Head. (Eph. 1:22; Eph. 5:23; Col. 1:18; 2:10). In brief, the Lord is the glorious Sunflower Head and we are the abiding florets!

Scriptures clearly teach that when the Lord resurrected, He gave gifts to men. That is to say, to those who believe Him, abide in Him and are called in His service! Do not doubt for one moment that you are gift..less in this respect! Keep the Seed in your Heart which is the Word of GOD! Let the transformative power of the precious Holy Spirit stoke you each day! Receive your gift with praise and thanksgiving! And then go out and claim the territory you have been assigned!

And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not worn out on you, and your sandals have not worn out on your feet. (Deut. 29:5)

Every place that the sole of your foot will tread upon I have given to you, just as I promised to Moses. I’m giving you every square inch of the land you set your foot on – just as I promised Moses. I have given you every place where the sole of your foot treads, just as I promised Moses. (Joshua 1:3-4)

Two Visions

I am moved this morning, after having been away on vacation, to share two consecutive visions that were shown last week. In the first one, a tall staircase suddenly appeared.  Almost immediately, a carpet roll appeared over the top step and unraveled on each step below until all the steps were covered.

In a second vision, people are shown running uncontrollably through an expansive area. As they are charging through, some people are squeezed – or they intentionally run – into a small alcove. Suddenly, a large steel scoop descended from above, picked up and elevated some of the people that had run into this small area.

What Does It Mean?

The interpretation was clearly understood.  The staircase is the passage to heaven which the Lord Jesus Christ has made available through His finished works. He is not only the staircase, He is the stairway! (Jn. 1:51) And…..He is rolling out the carpet for His faithful! There appears to be spiritual promotions, advancements and upgrades taking place. A particular group of Believers who have set themselves apart from the fallen herd mentality, will be lifted up according to a higher calling by GOD’S mighty arm! Countless others who are not vested in HIS plan of redemption which leads to the New Kingdom will continue to run aimlessly on a wide and lifeless road of destruction. The Words: “…many will be called but few will be chosen” echoed in my mind while contemplating these two visions.  (Mat. 22:14)

This post is witnessing that the Lord is calling, selecting and upgrading a people fit not only to populate GOD’S New Kingdom but to presently fulfill particular missions in accordance with HIS great master plan.   Despite the darkness of this fallen world, these are such great days to be alive! Let us take care not to miss such a great work that is taking place, not only on a personal level but on a higher level as well!  (Phil. 1:6)

But it is God who executes judgment, putting down one and lifting up another. (Ps. 75:7)

Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men. (Col. 3:23)

Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Mat. 17:13-14)

After watching film footage of unusual torrential rains pouring in the desert of Black Rock in Nevada during the Burning Man Festival, I was suddenly reminded of a past Vision accompanied with Words of Knowledge relating to this geographical area. You can read about it here.

The Outpouring of the Holy Spirit by Analogy

Although torrential rain is pouring down in the physical sense, the symbolic rains of the Holy Spirit will, by analogy, also pour in the spiritual sense in dry places. It will put out false and strange burning fires for anyone who answers the call of the One true GOD before the great days of tribulation. Strange fire is a counterfeit of GOD’s Holy Spirit. For those of you not familiar with this term, it also means offering strange sacrifices to GOD, disregarding HIS holiness and of the paramount importance of honouring HIM and HIS Son only. (Jn. 5:23)

Yes, the life-giving rains of heaven will pour out during these latter days from the true ‘Rock’, Jesus Christ, as the heavenly kingdom draws nearer! And with this outpouring, many will be washed, refined, purified and made white! (Dan. 12:10) Not only in Nevada but also around the world in preparation for a renewed people fit to populate GOD’S new kingdom in heaven and on earth! (Joel 2:23, 28-29; Mat. 6:9-12)

Affiliated Verses

Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven…..(The Lord’s Prayer)

And all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them, and that Rock was Christ. (1 Cor. 10:4)

More Words of Knowledge

After posting this message, the following Words of Knowledge and confirmation were immediately spoken: True and Precise. True: correct. ​ connected with facts rather than things that have been invented or guessed. Precise: exact, accurate, and careful about details. (Source: Oxford Language online Dictionary)

Tens of Thousands Stranded in Burning Man Nevada due to Torrential Rain – link:

Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert….(Is. 43:19).

To protract a great design is to put it in jeopardy. Are you beginning to feel heaven’s raindrops? The nudge of GOD calling you? If you are an unbeliever who feels estranged and alienated from HIM – this message is also for you to freely receive His transformative life-giving Spirit! It’s for all of us! Praise GOD and thank you Jesus!

While on vacation and taking time out to edit the blog, I came across another unpublished message involving a vision. It’s been sitting in my draft folder for over two years and it is a message that is too important not to publish. I pray that it blesses you today.

A Fruitful Vision

In this vision, fresh fruit was shown on my kitchen counter next to a plaque that was recently purchased. This is the plaque and this is what it reads:

I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; (1 Phil. 3-6)

Defining Perfection

The root Word of Perfection is Perfect which also means ‘Complete’. And according to Merriam Webster, Perfect means: a) Being entirely without flaws, faults or defects – flawless. b) Satisfying all requirements – accurate. c) Corresponding to an ideal standard or abstract concept. d) Faithfully reproducing the original – letter perfect. e). Legally valid. [Source: Merriam Webster Dictionary]

Interpreting the Vision

As Believers, are we already perfect?! Without defects or flaws like a perfect diamond? In brief, the vision conveys that we are called to perfection but that we have not yet been made perfect. It’s a process and it is accomplished though the Holy Spirit of GOD whose perfect fruit changes us incrementally ‘from glory to glory’ into the glorious image of the Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Cor. 3:18; Gal. 5:22-23) Christ is sinless perfection and is our righteousness unto GOD. And yes, we are certainly justified and even sanctified the moment we receive Him into our hearts and minds as Lord and Savior. But from that moment on, human life on this fallen planet still continues. And for this reason, the plan of redemption also makes provision for progressive or experiential sanctification. As the old nature continues to die off through tests, trials, temptations and experiences, we increasingly mature into the new man and we become more spiritually edified and fortified.

We are all growing or ‘ripening’ to perfection at different levels of spiritual development until “the day of the Lord.” And until then if and when we have occasion to sin, there is forgiveness for the genuine repentant soul through Jesus Christ. Does this mean we have carte blanche to sin, at least occasionally or at the very least just a little bit? No, it does not. But praise GOD that we have the indwelling Holy Spirit including the Word that helps us recognize sin; that strengthens us during moments of temptations; that helps us retain our salvation and that moves us to holiness. And thanks be to GOD that we have an Advocate in heaven who hears our earnest confessions!

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. (Jesus in Mat 5:48)

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us. (1 Jn. 8:9-10)

A Christian Controversy

This is a controversial subject for many Christian denominations and Believers who claim having already attained to perfection and holiness. To justify this belief can adversely stunt spiritual growth. At worse, it gives the old nature carte blanche to sin which disables the Holy Spirit to do His wonderful work of transformation and glorification through repentance. To every action there is a reaction and to every unconfessed sin there is a consequence. At worse, sin is detrimental to salvation.

That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour. (1 Thess. 4:4)

Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. (Phil. 2:12)

By The Way

About the pineapple in the picture – it has a label attached to it that reads: Gold. Yes, the sanctifying Law of the Spirit is perfect and makes perfect like gold. It purges the soul from all impurities and set us free from the penalty of death which is the consequence of sin. (Rom. 6:23; 8:2). It is incredibly amazing how the Holy Spirit communicates with us by interfacing, in this case, visions with real-life objects and the Word of GOD. What an unfathomable, wonderful gift the Lord Jesus Christ gave us with the Holy Spirit! Thank you to infinitum resurrected Son and Lamb of the living GOD for having paid the legal debt on our behalf through your finished works. It was and is a work of Love and Perfection.

Not that I (Apostle Paul) have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold for me. (Phil. 3:12)

 But I (Apostle Paul) see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I 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)

Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. (Mat. 26:41)

(The following message relating to a vision had been left in my draft folder.)

In a vision a woman sitting down at a table and writing was shown. Below her appeared the following Words: The Eagle Writer.

The Eagle In the Bible

The Eagle is, at times, biblically emblematic of God; of His strength and protective nature. It is notably in the Book of Exodus where we learn that He bore Israel on His wings when He took them out of Egypt enroute to the promised land. (Ex.19:14) The vision presently parallels Believers who have come out of the world, who have been redeemed, and who are protected under the Lord’s powerful wings enroute to their ultimate destination. All are assigned particular duties fit for a peculiar people whose roles will have a great impact now in helping to advance and populate GOD’S New Kingdom.

Rewind

You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles’ wings and brought you to Myself.  Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people; for all the earth is Mine. And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.’ These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel.” (Ex. 19:4-6)

Fast Forward

But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. (1 Pet. 2:9-10)

Eagles are also emblematic of redeemed Believers in the body of Christ (the woman). And because Eagles fly, they can also symbolize Believers who soar in the prophetic heights to proclaim GOD’s merciful plan of salvation and chronicles what has been shown. Quickened Eagles appointed for a time such as these latter days! And within the scope of the vision, this particular Eagle symbolizes a people who write for the Lord to help people! (Spoken Words of Knowledge).

But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. (Is. 40:31)

A renewed Eagle has keen eyesight; by analogy, it prophetically sees beyond the ordinary. I believe we are positioned for such a time as this when a called out people will be given genuine insights into the revelation of Jesus Christ, which is the Spirit of Prophecy! (Rev. 19:10) And, in this case, their written testimony will come from out of this world! (Gal. 1:12)

Keep the Faith,

Suzanne
