“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. ~

“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!

“For You are my lamp, O Lord; And the Lord illumines my darkness.” (2 Sam. 22:29)

“For it is you who lights my lamp; the Lord my God lightens my darkness.” (Ps. 18:28)

Early this morning in a vision a clear glass of water appeared on one of my bedroom nightstands along with a cross and a lit salt lamp.  They were amazingly positioned.  The glass of water was placed on top of my bibles. The Cross was transposed on top of my crystal lamp. And the salt lamp was transposed on top of my radio/alarm clock.

Water represents the essence and operations of the most Holy Spirit available only through our beloved Lord Jesus Christ.  The glass of water resting on the bibles means that it is the Holy Spirit who fills and refills Believers with the understanding of biblical truths.  In turn, it behooves Believers to also share this water of truth with others who thirst.

“For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.” (Mat. 9:41)

The Cross represents the Lord’s finished work of redemption and so, so much more! It was transposed on top of the crystal lamp because it metaphorically represents the great and awesome Light of the world – Jesus Christ – who illuminates Believers.

Salt from a biblical perspective represents: a preservative, a disinfectant, a remedy; something of value, fidelity, permanency, loyalty, and purification.  It follows that the illuminated salt lamp is indicative of a faithful Believer who reflects the indwelling Holy Spirit and Light of the Lord – the crystal lamp. These enlightened Believers are, again and in turn, called to witness this remedial Light (truth) with others who are spiritually, physically and emotionally ailing.  

The radio/alarm clock – a means of communication by electromagnetic frequency – symbolizes the transmission and reception of the Lord’s Holy-Spirit inspired Word to “His People”. (Spoken Words)

Altogether, this vision displays the importance of recognizing that the good Lord calls, salts and equips Believers to live a sanctified life that is preserved and set apart from this darkened generation.  Very importantly, it also symbolically conveys that all faithful and loyal Believers are likened to salted lamps called to preach His Word and share His Light in fulfillment of ‘The Great Commission’.

I am hearing: “Occupy”

“And He (Jesus) said therefore, A certain Nobleman (speaking of Himself) went into a far country to receive for Himself a kingdom, and to return. And He called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds (talents, gifts, blessings) and said unto them, Occupy till I come. (Lk. 9:12-13)

^“Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures. Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And you are witnesses of these things. Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem until you are endued with power from on high.” (Lk. 24:44-49)

^“Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men. Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.  (Mat. 5:13-16)

Our King, heavenly High Priest, Beloved Savior and Lord Jesus Christ amazingly qualifies His people for ministerial work. I am encouraging Believers not to let their god-given talents, blessings and gifts go to waste – let your beautiful Lights shine!

We are called to keep the Faith and “Occupy” so the Lord’s work can be multiplied on earth. ‘Occupy Till He Comes!’

To GOD our FATHER of Lights be all the praise and glory in the most honorable Name of our gloriously-risen Lord Jesus Christ ~

“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” (Jer. 33:3)

Yesterday while listening to a Messianic Rabbi speaking on topics relating to the end times and the rapture, the following vision was shown:

As he was ministering the Word – at this point specifically on the subject of the rapture – I suddenly saw him shoot straight up into the air.  His face and head were visible but his body looked like the strong and bright emission of a rocket that was projecting into space.  His body from the neck down was bright white and like an explosive cloud.  The vision stunned me because I was not expecting to see that – even after all these years some visions are still surprising. 

Scriptures teach us that the Holy Spirit has been appointed to show us things to come. This was the case with this vision. (Jn. 16:13)  It appears that this Rabbi will be among one of those who will be “taken up” or “raptured”.   It is also possible that as a Jew, he symbolizes those who are redeemed in Israel at the time of the first resurrection. His body was shown transformed as a bright white cloud because it fits the description that when we see the Lord, we shall be like Him. (1 Jn.3:2) Like One who comes in the brightness of the clouds of heaven. (Acts 1:9-11; Mk. 13:26) That is to say, the clouds are indicative of His glorious incorruptible body.  The Rabbi’s head was visible because it symbolizes that he has the Mind of Christ and His authority is over him. Something that my Spirit recognized – it was a case of Spirit bearing witness with Spirit.

I am briefly summarizing this Rabbi’s belief on the subject which might irritate, frustrate and perhaps even anger some Believers.  (The rapture is a subject that has this effect on some people.) 

The point of contention among so many Believers is the timing of this phenomenal event.  Will faithful Believers be taken up before the tribulations, during the middle of the tribulations or after the tribulations?  Consider the following verses as it relates to this unprecedented period also known as Jacob’s time of trouble:

“But woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!  And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation which God created unto this time, neither shall be except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved: but for the elect’s sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath shortened the days.”  (Mk.13:20)

This verse suggests that for the days to be shortened, the tribulations must already be in progress.  The Rabbi further taught that there will be 21 judgements contained in the 7 seals, 7 trumpets and 7 bowls.  But scriptures teach that the incorruptible transformation happens when “the rapture” takes place at the last trumpet which is the 7^th trumpet; a time before the great bowls of wrath are poured on earth:

“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep (be physically dead) but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” (1 Cor 15:50-56)

In brief, the Rabbi believes in a mid-tribulation rapture.  That the redeemed Church will be on earth for a period of time during the tribulations and before the bowls of wrath are poured out – a period of intense tribulation – is supported in scriptures.  And in the same manner that the chosen people were protected by the blood of the lamb when the Angel of Death passed over Egypt (the world); so it will be for the true faithful who are in blood covenant with the Lamb, Jesus Christ, during that shortened time.   (Some others will succumb to cataclysms or be martyred for the Faith and is the subject of another message.)

There will be a taking away; scriptures leave no doubt about that. Everyone must determine for himself/herself the timing by studying the Word.  We have the most wonderful and revealing sacred tool at our disposal: the Holy Bible.  We also have the Holy Spirit who opens our understanding and shows us things to come. And yet it behooves us to keep in mind that – regardless of the timing of the rapture – every day on earth could be our last one.  None of us are guaranteed to wake up tomorrow morning or see the end of that day.  Faithful Believers are called to be prepared at all times and live in the Spirit on a daily basis.  As Jesus would say, take no care for tomorrow because today is sufficient unto itself!  Have faith that GOD has it all under control.

From Dust to Light Link:

From Dust to Light

Quite a vision!  Praise be to GOD and thank you Lord Jesus Christ for loving us so much. Thank you GOD our FATHER for sending your Holy Spirit who shows us things to come. ~

Keep the Faith, it keeps all who are His,

Recently in a vision I was shown a white Chrysler Jeep Compass parked in front of what appeared to be some kind of invisible building.  The Word: “BREAD” written in large print appeared above this invisible structure.

The Word ‘Compass’ is significant because it reveals that this vehicle is calibrated for direction. And the name ‘Chrysler’, also significant, means “maker of earthenware – a potter. It is highly likely that its Progenitor came from a family of Potters. (Source: Houseofnames.com)

A motor vehicle symbolizes a Believer’s direction and destination in life. In this case, the parked Jeep represents a place of pause, of rest and of abiding.  And as recounted in the Book of Hebrews, the invisible building is indicative of a Believer’s inner sanctuary – the true tabernacle!   A sanctuary not built with human hands but with the mighty and fashionable Hands of our heavenly High Priest Jesus Christ. One who is also biblically recognized as “The Potter.”

Our heavenly High Priest, Jesus Christ, is the only One empowered and glorified by GOD our FATHER to administer the invisible Bread that gives Life. It is manna that gives wisdom, knowledge and understanding but most importantly that gives eternal life.  One cannot effectively be parked in this sanctuary and receive of this heavenly nourishment without having faith and belief that the Lord Jesus Christ is also the holy sacrificial Bread.

“Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;  A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer. For if he were on earth, he should not be a priest, seeing that there are priests that offer gifts according to the law: Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, that thou make all things according to the pattern shewed to thee in the mount. But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.” (Heb. 8:1-6)

“Then they said to Him, “Lord, give us this bread always.”  And Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life. He who comes to Me shall never hunger, and he who believes in Me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen Me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.This is the will of the Father who sent Me, that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day.   (Jn. 6:34-40)   I am the living Bread which came down from Heaven. If any man eat of this Bread, he shall live for ever; and the Bread that I will give is My flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.” (Jn. 6:51)

Israel, you are being called by your Potter and High Priest! (Jer. 18:1-7) Grafted Church, you are also being called! Everyone is being called! Each one of us is called to follow the directional arrow of our inner compass that leads to Jesus Christ and Him crucified. Each one of us is called to rest and abide in Him in the holy sanctuary. Each one of us is called to prayerfully partake of heaven’s manna from inside the Ark of the New Covenant located in this most holy place. (Heb. 9:4; Rev. 11:19) And, finally, we are all being called to recognize that through the Holy Trinity, our Beloved Lord Jesus Christ can fashion all earthenware vessels into His heavenly glorious image from glory to glory! (2 Cor. 3:18)

Keep the Faith, it is transformative, it is life-changing!

All glory and thanks be to you Lord Jesus Christ ~

“I have set the LORD continually before me; Because He is at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” (Ps. 16:8)

Yesterday evening during prayer, I asked the Lord that if He saw fit to send more visions, I would continue sharing them for the benefit of His Church and for His glory.  Almost instantaneously, the following vision manifested:

The night stand on my right side was shown.  At the bottom of my lamp – crystal in appearance with a silver base – rested a beautiful jeweled butterfly with unusual bright colors.  It was standing on its wings.

Before interpreting the vision, a small explanation about the butterfly’s colors is warranted.  Butterfly wings are covered with thousands of microscopic scales split into two or three layers and each scale has multiple layers separated by air.  When light strikes these layers, it is reflected numerous times.  It is the iridescent reflection of this light that creates the very intense colors; some extending even into the ultraviolet spectrum.  This is where it gets interesting – these magnified ultraviolet rays and colors are not visible to the human eye, only to butterflies and to each other.  It might even be surprising for some to know, that ultraviolet light is also emitted through their wings. And ultraviolet light is what guides the North American Butterfly (U.S. and Canada) to migrate all the way to Mexico each year.  The Monarch can travel an epic 3,000 miles with its small wings to arrive at its destination.

After the vision, I looked over at the night table in real life and observed how everything was meaningfully positioned. The butterfly stood between a salt lamp on one side and the crystal Lamp on the other.  And all were positioned on a fine white laced linen doily. The vision was immediately understood.

The Butterfly – through its stages of development- symbolizes the faithful Believer who undergoes stages of transformation to finally emerge as that magnificent new creature in Christ. (Phil. 1:6; 2 Cor. 3:18; Rom. 5:3-6; 2 Cor 5:7; Rom. 12:2). We are called to accommodate this divinely-appointed process until one day when the slightest tingling and movement of unfolding wings is felt and a butterfly is getting ready to fly! And because the Christ Light is reflecting on those faithful Believers’ wings, these prepared ones are able to illuminate the dark places of this fallen world. Rest assured that just as butterflies navigate by ultraVIOLET light that is detected only by them, so it is that new creatures in Christ uniquely navigate by a Light that goes way beyond the ultraviolet spectrum; to somewhere beyond space and time:

“Again Jesus spoke to them, saying,“I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will notwalk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (Jn. 8:12)

Butterfly, emit your Light and let it shine! Be the salt of the earth (salt lamp) in a dark world. You are securely positioned on His foundation of redemption and righteousness (the fine white linen doily). You are equipped!  As His precious jeweled work you are so, so valuable in the Lord’s sight. In the similitude of a butterfly who can detect ultraviolet-light effects, so can you detect and discern the Christ Light in different situations and in others – you have butterfly vision! You have iridescent wings of Light; so it is that you will effortlessly navigate to your epic destination: Home! You are no longer hidden, your incubation time is over, you are free, you have emerged out of your cocoon. It’s time to fly far and to fly high on the thermal winds of the Holy Spirit!

“You are the salt of the earth.  But if the salt loses its savor, how can it be made salty again?  It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.  You are the Light of the world.  A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket.  Instead they set it on a stand and it gives light to everyone in the house.  In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.” (Mat. 5:13-16)

With praises and all glory to our FATHER in the name of His honoured, beloved and glorified Son, Jesus Christ. ~

Keep the Faith, it gives wings to fly!
