“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the daystar arise in your hearts. ( 2 Pet. 1:19)

Recently while praying in my bedroom, I was shown two long white candles in candlesticks hovering side by side. They were positioned immediately below my ceiling light fixture in my dining room.  The fixture – completely white – is composed of 3 bright lights with 5 long fanning blades attached to its round base. (It bears noting that I recently changed the bulbs in this fixture from ‘Soft White’ to brighter ‘Daylight’ bulbs – it is exciting how the Holy Spirit uses things in the natural to reveal GOD’s Truth.)

From a biblical perspective, white represents the inner manifestation of Redemption and the outward manifestation of GOD’s Righteous works in HIS Saints.  (Is. 1:18; Rev. 19:8) The 3 daylights together represent the existence and operation of the most Holy Trinity – the Three in One – GOD the FATHER, the Son and the Holy Spirit. The 2 candlesticks represent illuminated Believers. And 5 is a biblical number affiliated with Grace.  

A prototype of the 2 candlesticks is discerned in Zechariah’s vision and brings to light their identities. (Zech. Chapter 4) One candlestick can be no other than Prophet Zechariah himself who heard the Word of the Lord and who delivered the message to Zerubbabel. “THIS IS THE WORD OF THE LORD UNTO ZERUBBABEL not by power, not by might but by my Spirit” says the Lord”. It follows that  Zerubbabel is the other candlestick fated to receive the Word and be fortified and guided by the Spirit to help build the Temple of the Lord. These are the 2 candlesticks symbolically seen by Zechariah and identified by a particular angel (more about this angel in future posts.)

“……Then the angel who talked with me answered and said to me, “Do you not know what these are?” And I said, “No, my lord.” So he answered and said to me: “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts. ‘Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And he shall bring forth the capstone With shouts of “Grace, grace to it!”  (Zechariah 4:1-8)

On one level of understanding, Zechariah’s vision presently typifies that it is the prophetic written Word of GOD that gives Light; that is to say, wisdom, knowledge and understanding to Believers on earth.  And it is the Holy Spirit – working in synergy with the Word – who prepares Believers to accommodate Him as He takes residence in their inner temples. (1 Cor. 3:16) Indeed, “not by might nor by power but by my Spirit” will the Lord build temples not pitched with human hands. Within the context of the Vision, the fanning blades represent the Wind of the Holy Spirit that stokes and fans the inner Light – the fire – of righteousness in Believers (an inworking manifestation of Faith). 

On another important level of understanding, the 2 candlesticks in the Book of Zechariah and in the Book of Revelation (Rev. 11) represent 2 actual individuals on earth. It follows that the candlesticks seen in the vision also typify latter-day witnesses chosen to testify. These are the planting of the Lord’s – chosen Trees of Righteousness carved into illuminating candlesticks! The oil that flows from them are gifts of the Spirit – of Prophecy – that have been ignited and fanned into their spirit man! Blades revolving at high speed are invisible to the naked eye. Not for them! They see and hear through the ordinary like Prophet Zechariah. They receive the Word of the Lord and it gives them strength and guidance like Zerubbabel! Their works of righteousness is an outworking manifestation of Faith! They will be empowered to accommodate even greater Light to help prepare (I am hearing “assist”) a people to understand GOD’S plan of redemption and salvation.  And as was the case with Zechariah, angels will be sent to help (seen in previous and recent visions). Grace, grace they will shout for they understand the plan of salvation. And for a time, mountains of obstacles and of obstructions will be flattened before them! Their strength is supernatural – not of this earth – they are anointed and they are ordained! Though their missions have been, is and will be even more increasingly difficult in coming days, they will be strengthened and refreshed by the guiding Light and fresh Winds of heaven! (The Light fixture). Praise GOD for HIS grace through His Son Jesus Christ!

“Then answered I, and said unto him (the angel) What are these two olive trees upon the right side of the candlestick and upon the left side thereof? ….Then said he, These are the two anointed ones, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth.” (Zech. 4:11-14)

(It is important to note that some candlesticks have lost their fire.  I cannot speak for GOD on this matter but HE is good and faithful to forgive and restore as HE sees fit.  But make haste carefully – to protract a great design is to put it in jeopardy.)

GOD’s Plan of Redemption through His Son is a work of unfathomable Love and of Grace for a humanity steeped in darkness and in need of salvation. Our Loving FATHER does not want anyone to perish but to live in freedom and have eternal life. To be prepared and ready for the great Capstone, the Bridegroom and bright Daystar, the Lord Jesus Christ.

Preparing the Way

I am hearing “Best Friend”.   “I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.” (Jn. 15:15)  Thank you Lord Jesus!

Keep the Faith.  It gives Light. It refreshes. It regenerates. It gives strength. Were Zechariah and Zerubbabel here today, they would both agree that it moves mountains! (Mk. 11:23)

From an aerial view and in a vision early this morning, an erupting volcano was shown.  Bright sparks of lava could be seen spewing out at the top as billows of black smoke mounted up in the air.

This vision is prophetic – it does not have a symbolic meaning. It is a warning sign of cataclysmic events which Jesus prophesied would take place in the last days.

This message is not posted with the intent of causing restlessness, fear and panic.  Instead, it is a message that confirms a latter-day timetable of unfolding events associated with the prophetic time of sorrows.  It behooves us to keep focused on the Lord first and foremost and have a plan of action in case of emergencies and/or evacuations. As always, we are called to stay attuned to the Holy Spirit for guidance.

“But when you hear of wars and commotions, do not be terrified; for these things must come to pass first, but the end will not come immediately. Then He said to them, “Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences; and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven  (Lk.9-11)

^“For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.  All these are the beginning of sorrows.” (Mat. 24:7-8)

I am hearing that it will “Happen”. A spoken confirmation.

Keep the Faith, it keeps all who are His,

“And where I (Jesus) go you know, and the way you know.” (Jn. 14:4)

A few days ago a bright blue pencil hovered above me in a vision.   A beautiful large Cross of crystal and silver appeared. Then a floor lamp that stands in my dining room was shown with bright light streaming through its white shade.

Blue is associated with the color of the spirit, the sky and heaven.  It was instantly recognized that the pencil was a call to write the vision – which is spiritual in nature – and to make it known. (Hab. 2:2)   The Cross represents GOD’s complete plan of Salvation. And the tall floor lamp is indicative of a Believer who is illuminated with the Light of Christ.

It was clearly understood that the vision related to the Kingdom of Heaven which was likened to 10 Virgins awaiting the arrival of the Bridegroom (Jesus Christ).  Because He tarried, they all fell asleep.  And when a shout went out to meet the Groom at an unpredictable time – midnight – only 5 of them had sufficient oil to light their lamps to meet Him.  The other 5 went their way to buy oil and in the process missed the ceremonious event.  Long story short, the foolish unprepared Virgins missed the wedding because they were not fit to populate the New Kingdom.

As shadowed in the Book of Leviticus, the number 5 is biblically associated with sin that was, at that time, atoned with animal blood, religious doctrines and rituals. It presently typifies the 5 foolishly unprepared Virgins who slumber in legalistic methods of non-redemption and religious doctrines. Contrariwise, 5 is also a number that is biblically associated with Grace.  It brings to mind that it is by Grace that we are saved through the Lord’s one-time sacrifice on the Cross. It is the blood of the Lamb that legally redeems earth-bound souls so they can be cleansed from sin, sanctified and ultimately glorified. Importantly, it is only through this one-time holy sacrifice that the ongoing and progressive sanctifying oil of the Holy Spirit was finally made available to Believers. (Heb.9:8) And this is reflective of the 5 wise Virgins.

Many churches and denominations fail to teach that progressive sanctification is a critically important biblical truth. Although sanctification is instant when we come to the Lord, it is also a progressive process that helps the soul overcome the fallen nature. There is a false and lackadaisical belief rooted in religiosity that teaches that confessing one’s sin is sufficient unto salvation. GOD is all merciful and does forgive as HE sees fit but the sin nature has to be deactivated for the Believer to remain in victory.  It is a deep and inner work that can only be accomplished through the ongoing operations of the Holy Spirit (along with the Word) which gives the Believer knowledge, wisdom, understanding and strength to repent, truly repent. The Blood and the Holy Spirit are inseparable, we cannot have one without the other. And sin has consequences when the Cross is esteemed in foolishness!

It follows that the 5 wise Virgins are Believers who are redeemed by the Blood and who are born of the Spirit (oil).  Their oil cannot be purchased nor can it be borrowed, as the foolish Virgins attempted to do. Having had their consciousness awakened by the Holy Spirit, they abide by GOD’s plan of redemption through HIS Son at the exclusion of all legalistic religiosity and doctrines. The Book of Revelation recounts that 144,000 souls are prophesied to “follow the Lamb wherever He goes. ” As a firstfruits company who are meaningfully likened as redeemed Virgins, they will fulfill a particular eschatological mission. (I firmly believe the Lord is selecting those fit for that mission now and in coming days. )

There  is an idiom that conveys to not put off until tomorrow what can be done today. It is also said that time runs and waits for no one. The Church is called to understand GOD’s plan or redemption and the tenets of sanctification in relation to sin. It follows that all redeemed Believers that make their way through the separating chasm of darkness are and will increasingly walk in the Light of the New Kingdom. Ultimately, there will be a return to Genesis’ First Light and to our Bridegroom Jesus Christ. Indeed from Genesis to Revelation, the first shall be last and the last shall be first in these last days.

“Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.  But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.  (Mat. 25:1-13)

“These are they which were not defiled with women; for they are Virgins. These are they which follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were redeemed from among men, being the firstfruits unto God and to the Lamb wherever He goes.” (Rev. 14.4)

Keep the Faith – the Church is called to be prepared and keep their lamps lit.

Praise GOD and thank you Lord God Jesus Christ, Savior of all souls.

“Thou hast provided for me all things pertaining both to life and godliness, all things requisite both for body and soul, for time and eternity.” (1 Pet. 1:3)

During prayer this morning I asked the Lord if He had a message for His Church. The vision that followed points to this current prophetic time period when the Word of GOD is being witnessed around the world before the end comes. 

In this vision two identical bright silver lamps were shown on my living-room glass table which is positioned against a wall.   They were completely silver including their lampshades.  They were shown on the right side of a taller Lamp which, in real life, already stands on this table.  On the left side of all three lamps manifested colorful fruit.  And significantly on the wall beside the fruit is – in real life – a recently mounted picture of large green leaves which includes palm leaves.

The Holy Spirit reveals GOD’s truth in amazingly meaningful ways when considering the interpretation of this vision. In brief, the vision conveys that like-minded Believers are being gathered and paired – there is strength in numbers and together their lights shine brighter! As two identical silver lamps, they represent latter-day Witnesses who are fired up by the same Holy Spirit to speak the Word of GOD.  (Ps. 12:6; Zech.13:9; Ps.18:28)   I am hearing “Certain” in a particular language; in the English language it means “Definite”.   That is to say, there is no doubt about their identity and mission. They have passed through the purging fire that separates the silver from the dross. It follows that as “faithful” Believers, they are presented with a table of abundance because they persevered against extreme odds. They are blessed with the fruit of the Holy Spirit which also includes His gifts.  (Gal. 5:22-23; 1 Cor. 12:4-11)  It bears noting that the fruit were shown transposed on top of two candlesticks that – in real life – already stand on the table next to the leaves displayed on the wall. It means that their works (fruit and leaves) will help feed, heal and illuminate a darkened world with the word of salvation and the uplifting news of the New Kingdom. (Ez. 47:12; Rev. 22:2)

More than two thousand years ago, Jesus sent His disciples out two-by-two to preach the gospel and cast out impure spirits. So it is that the Spirit of the Lord is once again pairing faithful Witnesses to preach His Word and to cast out the impurities that beset unbelievers and Believers alike.  As recounted in the Gospel of Luke, the pairing of the Witnesses was for the express purpose of preparing a city and place where the Lord was about to visit.  In similarity, the works of these Witnesses will help prepare the way for His coming.  Notwithstanding that where two or three faithful ones are gathered together in His name, the Lord manifests Himself in the middle of them [symbolized with the taller Lamp positioned in the middle of the two silver lamps, fruit and leaves. ] (Mat. 18:20)  Clearly, GOD is intensifying HIS latter-day work of restoration, healing and salvation through this particular company of called out Witnesses.

“And He called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits.” (Mk. 6:7)

“After these things the Lord appointed seventy others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.”  (Lk. 10:1)

“But the one who perseveres to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” (Mat. 24:13-14)

I am encouraging all who have been called to witness to keep resting and persevering in the Lord’s Light even though the odds and obstacles might sometimes appear insurmountable. Much is expected out of whom much is – and will be – given.

Keep the Faith in the Lord’s finished works – it gives rest, strength and light to all who believe and who are called to witness. Visible signs and wonders are made manifest in His awesome Light – believe in the works that make the miraculous possible!

Praise GOD the FATHER through HIS glorified Son, our Lord God Jesus Christ.

“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.” (Rom. 8:11)

Sometimes I wish I could put into drawing some visions because words fail to express the beauty of what is shown and is discerned. This is the case with yesterday’s vision in which a beautiful bright gold butterfly with lights sparkling in its wings was shown hovering in the air.  

As a symbol the butterfly represents periods of incubation, endurance and change as it transits through different cycles of development to arrive at its final stage. Most importantly, from a Christian perspective a butterfly in flight represents freedom and resurrection.  As is the case with some visions, I am feeling a sense of freedom, resurrection and excitement!

Gold is known as a precious metal that is highly malleable; it is biblically associated with the divine; that is to say, the glory of GOD.  The Light sparkling in the butterfly’s wings represents the resurrection power made available by GOD through Jesus Christ’s finished works: He who is the Light of the world. (Jn. 8:12) The only One empowered by the FATHER to fashion and raise Believers to newness of life. It follows that these pliable ones embody God’s glory, resurrection and eternity!

Recently a shut door locked with a padlock bearing a keyhole was shown. Following this vision, open doors have been shown. So it will be that GOD will shut and lock negative doors that have kept some bound to the world in different ways. Having faithfully repented and persevered, they will be guided to fly with open wings through other doors of opportunities. And to be sure the most important door is the Door of Salvation. (Jn. 10:9-16)

For the faithful Believer, doors cannot be shut and locked nor are GOD’s doors opened by anyone who walks outside of HIS divine Will and who is led by the fallen nature. It can only be accomplished by He who holds the Key of David and is the Key of David: Jesus Christ. It signals the importance of being led by the Holy Spirit in all circumstances.

“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: ‘These things saith He that is holy, He that is true, He that hath the key of David, He that openeth and no man shutteth, and shutteth and no man openeth: (Rev. 3:7)

“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.”  (Jn. 8:36)

Onward and upward!

Keep the Faith in the Lord’s finished works, it gives wings to fly – it has resurrection power!

“Do not labor for the food which perishes, but for the food which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you, because God the Father has set His seal on Him.” (Jn. 6:27)

In a vision a few days ago I was shown open cupboard doors with shelves that were tightly stocked with grain products. Immediately I thought about Joseph who stored grain before the seven-year famine struck Egypt.  In doing so, he saved Israel from a certain death. 

To remain within the scope of the vision, the grain typifies the importance of stocking up for a coming spiritual famine.  The negative effects which are already so evident in a growing population. Countless have become increasingly anxious due to shortness of supplies here in Canada. There is apprehension and restlessness over banks hiking their rates. Multitudes are worried about the virus. Others are worried this year about an inordinate snowy and humid winter known to foster extreme power outages. The list of stressors too long to include in this post is getting longer with each passing day it seems.   And for sure there is merit in preparing for bad weather during these times of great and uncertain changes, of being cautious with financial investments and stocking up on provisions as moved by the Holy Spirit.

The vision is a reminder for all of us to partake of the Word that feeds the mind and the heart during these days of uncertainty. To digest it, put it into application daily and be fortified (Spoken Word) now and for coming days. Look not on those things which rust and which moths eat but store your treasure in heaven, said the Lord. Give no anxious thought for tomorrow for today is sufficient unto itself, the Master instructed.  And the sparrows!  If our FATHER cares for them, how much more for those who are HIS. What a tragic fate for those who are prepared to survive the elements; are physically stocked with food and supplies but are spiritually emaciated and starving to death.

Joseph’s name means: “he will add” or “he will increase”.  As a type and shadow concealed in the Old Testament, his name parallels the role of the Lord Jesus. He is the One who will establish in full His kingdom on earth and it is Him who adds and increases. The Lord over all the earth is the One who provides in accordance with His promise of restoration and of provisions for His people, regardless of what happens in this temporary fallen world.

“And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.” (Joel 2:25-26)

With praises to our ever loving GOD of grace. And with thanksgiving to you First Begotten Son and Lord God Jesus Christ, eternal Word and Food of Life. I pray that this merciful reminder blesses others as much as it is blessing me. ~

Keep the Faith – be prepared spiritually and also physically now for coming days. Most importantly do not let your hearts be troubled. Abide and trust in the Lord.

“Then those who feared the Lord spoke to one another, And the Lord listened and heard them. So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the Lord And who meditate on His name. “They shall be Mine,” says the Lord of host “On the day that *I make them My jewels.* And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him.” Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God. And one who does not serve Him. (Mal. 3:16-18)

During prayer yesterday something was shown gently falling from above.  At first I thought they were raindrops.  But then I saw that they were pearls; an abundance of beautiful, white and lustrous pearls. Some were free falling whereas others were falling in long strands.  It was raining pearls!

The creation of a pearl in the natural begins to shed light on the kingdom of GOD in the spiritual.  A true pearl is produced when an irritant (such as a grain of sand) works its way inside an oyster shell. Stressed by the foreign object, the oyster secretes layers upon layers of Nacre (a crystalline liquid) on the irritant until finally it forms a radiant iridescent pearl.  

This shower of pearls is indicative of the latter-day outpouring of the Holy Spirit on Believers.(Joel 2:28)  The crystalline fluid, the transformative agent, represents the latter-day rain which is the essence of the Holy Spirit. Like the gradual layering of Nacre on irritants, it is line upon line and precept upon precept that the Word of truth, with the guidance of the heavenly Holy Spirit, is deposited inside accommodating hearts and minds of human shells.  It is a process that transforms irritants – the hardships, adversarial attacks and travails of life experiences – into something very valuable. It is the kind of beauty that comes out of the fire and rises out of the ashes. A restorative process that crystallizes the overcoming Bride of Christ with Light, Iridescence and with Splendor. (Spoken Word)

The Lord continues to transform and beautify His Bride with jewels of consolation, of wisdom and of righteousness. It is a short latter-day work that is accelerating for those who will receive it while it is available! Prophet Malachi foretold that a chosen people likened as latter-day jewels will be gifted to discern between the good and the wicked; between those who serve GOD and those who really do not. Watch for them, they will shine! (Dan. 12:3)

It follows that these jewels are likened to pearls of great price fit to dwell in GOD’s New Kingdom that is presently spiritual in nature (the gradual experience of eternity in human hearts and minds). It is heavenly and it will be implemented on earth at the time of fulfillment. To be sure, these pearls are only shown as a metaphor of a work that is not man-made and is so great and so precious as to defy human intellect. It is the recompense of New Kingdom seeds sown and harvested in human hearts. A restorative work of a loving and merciful GOD on a people in the stages of being transformed into the glorious image of Her Bridegroom. ( Rom. 9: 25-28; 2 Cor. 3:17-18)

“I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.” (Is. 61:10).

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls:  Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.” (Mat. 13:45-46)

The Great Merchant, our Lord Jesus Christ, paid the ultimate price for us at the Cross so that redeemed Believers can be gloriously transformed and be fit to populate His New Kingdom. We are indeed living in the last days of the latter days.

Praise be to GOD with infinite gratitude and eternal thanksgiving in the precious name of Jesus Christ ~

Keep the Faith, it’s raining white pearls. And look, the fields are white to harvest! (Jn. 4:35)

“Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou would believe, thou should see the glory of God? Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead (Lazarus) was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hear me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with grave clothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.” (Jn. 11:42-44)

Yesterday someone was talking on the subject of being raised from the dead from a spiritual and physical perspective.  Suddenly, a vision manifested.  A man lying on his back in the darkness somewhere began to move and was trying to sit up slowly.  Filthy bandage strips and material were seen slowly falling away from his face and head; I had a strong impression that they were falling away from the rest of his body as well. This was someone who had been dead and was wrapped in grave clothing.  He was sporting a modern-day haircut (indicative of present days) that was quite messed up from having slept for a long time. As he slowly moved his head to the right, his eyes squinted as they tried to open and adjust to the Light. 

The vision conveys that someone somewhere – even symbolic of a people – is now awakening from the grave of spiritual slumber and into the recognition of Jesus Christ as Savior. They are recognizing the awesome Voice that is calling them. That undeniable Voice of Light and of Truth that awakens and guides the sheep! (Jn. 10:27) I am hearing the Word: “Born”.  This is someone who, after having remained spiritually dormant, is in the process of being Born again in the Spirit and into newness of life. And also someone who will be raised up at the last day if he continues to faithfully abide in Christ. Notwithstanding, the vision conveys that those who genuinely hear and answer His call – even in our modern era – will be brought from the penalty of sin which is death and into the Light of Life. And there is no partiality with the Savior of the world, He calls the just and the unjust; the evil and the good. (Mat. 5:45) Yet…..GOD’s timetable is ticking and time runs for everyone; all are called to enter through the narrow gate while time permits.

“And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.” (Jn. 11:43)

 “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain (those who are spiritually alive on earth at that time) shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. (Takes place at the first resurrection) And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” (1 Thess.4:16-17)

“And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

Grave bandages are beginning to come off. The spiritual dead are awakening and are about to rise.  Some will emerge on the scene still sinfully bound in some ways as metaphorically discerned in the filthy vestiges of grave clothing still attached to them. These souls are, and will be, in need of spiritual guidance and encouragement to adjust to the Light and the newness of a resurrected life. “Unbind and let him loose,“ said the Lord to those who witnessed Lazarus arising. Jesus’ instruction typifies a call for prayerful Laborers of the Word to help Him by encouraging those who are coming out of the grave to walk unbound in His plan of eternal redemption.

Praises to GOD and thank you precious Jesus, Lord of Lords, God, Giver of eternal life and perfect Savior of the world for allowing me to see this glorious manifestation. May it witness to all who are being called. ~

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” (1 Cor. 1:18)

A few days ago the following Words were spoken: “Restoration  (pause) Repossession”.  The following night before going to sleep, I prayerfully asked for clarification of what I had heard. Sometime during the course of the night I was awakened. As I lingered there in prayer for a few moments, an extraordinary Cross suddenly hovered above me. It was made of fine crystal or clear glass. Flashes of Light and vibrant colors were seen softly exploding and streaming from its center.  Then the following Word was spoken:  “Investment”.

Restoration:  The act or process of returning something to its earlier good condition or position, or to its owner.

“Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit. Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee.(Ps. 51:12-13).

“The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life– of whom shall I be afraid? When evil men advance against me to devour my flesh, when my enemies and my foes attack me, they will stumble and fall.” (Psalm 27:1)

Repossession: The act of taking possession again over something when a buyer defaults on payments.

“Then all your people will be righteous; They will possess the land forever, The branch of My planting, The work of My hands, That I may be glorified.” (Is. 60:21)

In Obadiah 1:17-21, we learn about Israel’s call to holiness and final triumph in taking possession of the lands that are fated to become part of the Lord’s kingdom. A kingdom that the deceiver has been attempting to steal and establish for himself since the fall of the Adamic parents. The vision, along with the spoken words, typifies securing one’s holiness and salvation (restoration) in the Cross of the Lamb; the Lord’s finished works of redemption. Only then can one take possession in the lands that belong to the Lord! The enemy, very clever in nature, might have duped Believers in some ways leading them to question their salvation and position in His Kingdom. But do know that he cannot have and keep possessions (spiritual blessings) that do not belong to him – he can’t afford them!  He does not have the authority, nor the blood right, nor the legal right to steal the salvation of faithful Believers, nor hijack their blessings nor can he keep them out of the Lord’s Kingdom.

There is Restoration and there is Re-possession at the cross for those who – despite trials and tribulations – genuinely continue to abide in Jesus Christ. They have learned the painful consequences of dealing with the world. They have been strengthened by these life lessons and will not lower their moral standards. They will not compromise with the world, the flesh and the devil.   As shareholders of the Cross of Grace, these Believers are beneficiaries of an eternal and spiritual Investment that will have explosive dividends now and most significantly in the New Kingdom age. And just how exciting is that!

“All Your Dreams Will Come True As I Fulfill My Promises To You.” (Spoken Words)

“And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.” (Joel 2:25-26)

“And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus.  He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.” (Lk. 1:31-33)

Praises be to you GOD our FATHER and thanks be to you Beloved Lord and God Jesus Christ! How wondrous and awesome are your ways, great and holy Son of Righteousness, of Mercy and of Justice. ~

Keeping the Faith and Holding on to His Promises,

“And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.” (Gen. 1:29)

^“Since you have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit in sincere love of the brethren, love one another fervently with a pure heart, having been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible through the word of God which lives and abides forever. (1 Pet. 1:22-23)

In a vision this morning two vibrant green Christmas trees standing side by side were shown. Both were beautifully decorated, adorned with lights and topped with a star. 

From a biblical perspective, trees often metaphorically represent Believers of righteousness.  And because Christmas trees are symbolically used to celebrate the Holy-Spirit conceived birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, it was immediately understood that these two represented Holy Spirit born-again Believers. Two Believers into whose hearts the Lord Himself has sown the incorruptible seed – the unadulterated Word of GOD!

These trees have grown out of the world amidst many storms and tempestuous beating winds  – they have survived the outside elements of worldly traps, enticements and allurements! After much travail they have overcome, they have prevailed and have been found worthy! They are enveloped -streamed – with revelations of the Lord’s Light and of the Holy Spirit’s truth. They are crowned with a Star which makes them offspring of the great Morning Star, Jesus Christ!  Because they are aligned with the supreme Head which is Christ, they are anointed with His authority. And because they are coniferous trees their leaves will not fade; that is to say, their ongoing work will be used for the healing of nations!  The fruit of their work are cones containing self-propagating seeds (the Word). As witnesses for and co-laborers with GOD, their gifts will help fertilize and bless other hearts with the Word. Their work will help produce more trees of righteousness in the harvest fields of this darkened world! Importantly, their missions are not based on self-serving agendas, it will be all about glorifying GOD! Here come Pillars in the Temple of the Lord!

“To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified (Isaiah 61:3).

(Significantly, both trees hovered above in the air in a western direction. They appear to be positioned in North America where, indeed, coniferous trees grow abundantly.)

Praise GOD and thank you Lord Jesus Christ, Blessed and most Holy Sower of human hearts, Awesome Son of Light and Bright Morning Star! ~

Keep the Faith in the Lord’s finished works, it germinates seeds to grow into trees of righteousness – the planting of the Lord!
