Category: Visions (Page 43 of 43)

In a vision this morning, I was shown white shoes on a white shoe rack in a closet. They were a man’s shoe. Upon closer examination, a little dirt and small scuff marks could be seen.

The reason I am moved to share this vision is because it points to the very important doctrine and manifestation of justification and sanctification. In brief, when we contritely accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, we are instantly justified. That is to say, justification is GOD’s righteous and graceful act of removing the condemnation and penalty of sin through faith in Christ’s atoning sacrifice. And although sanctification is also instantaneous, it is a continuous process by which the Holy Ghost gradually changes the Believer into the image of Christ.

All of us as Believers are positioned at different levels of progressive sanctification. It is important to keep this in mind as there ought to never be judgment in this regard – sanctification is a personal and unique work the Lord is doing in each and everyone of us.  And so the vision is not one of condemnation but rather one of encouragement.

INTERPRETATION:

White symbolizes purity and holiness and is biblically synonymous with righteousness. In this vision, the white scuffed shoes symbolize a Believer’s walk. A walk that has taken him to places where experiences have left their marks. And one that has consequently caused him to shelve his shoes. The walk has stopped. Life can become so arduous and the world so alluring sometimes that even a Believer can become tempted or discouraged. Evenstill, you matter so much to the Lord that you are called to come out of the proverbial closet, square your shoulders and get your shoe back on so that the precious Holy Spirit can continue to do His awesome work of sanctification. You will be immensely blessed, your light will shine bright and you will be a blessing to others!

This vision fits in meaning with another vision from years ago. A horizontal grid with square blocks ranging in color from a deep black on the far left, to a gradual gray in the middle, to a gradual bright white on the far right, was shown. At that time, the Holy Spirit was showing me where I fit on this palette.  It was an “ouch” moment and one to be taken very seriously. The Holy Spirit had more work to do in this Believer. Yes, no one is perfect, we are all into this thing together and we must persevere in the Faith!

We are living in very prophetic days when we are called to live righteously through Christ. The Lord revealed to Prophet Daniel that many would be made “white” in the latter days; it certainly points to where we are approximately situated on GOD’s timetable.  And with that I am often reminded that we ought not to put off until tomorrow what needs doing today and that to protract a great design is to put it in jeopardy.

“Although I (Prophet Daniel) heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?” And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end, Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand. “(Dan.12:8-10)

“Therefore, as through one man’s (Adam’s) offense judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s (Jesus’) righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so also by one Man’s obedience many will be made righteous. “ (Rom.5:17-19)

“For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.” (Heb. 9:13-15)

“The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. ” (Songs 2:12)

In an early morning vision, the picture of a woman whose identity will remain concealed was shown. Next, I saw cloud-like hands pin the picture on a large bright colored painting of vibrant flowers in bloom that hangs in my Dining Room. Most specifically, the picture was pinned directly on top of one of the flowers. All the flowers are plum and rose like in color and all have varying hues.  A Word of Knowledge was Spoken:  “CONNECTED”.

INTERPRETATION:

Flowers in my dreams and visions can represent different meanings.  But within the context of this vision, this bouquet in bloom represents a particular body of spirit-filled Believers who have attained to spiritual maturity. The same color symbolizes similar beliefs and the different hues point to unique gifts of the Spirit.

The woman being pinned on top of one of the flowers represents someone who has been Hand picked to become part of that bouquet. It fits that the Word “connected” was spoken because it confirms this one’s connection with the other flowers – other Spirit-filled Believers – by the Holy Spirit made available through Christ.  

That the flowers were shown on canvas rather than real flowers means that they will not wither like the flowers of the field! They were created by GOD’S paintbrush and have been tempered for endurance because not all will receive them! To some they will be a fragrant aroma and to others they will have the scent of death. Like flowers carved on the golden lamp stand in the tabernacle, they will persevere over obstacles and offenses to help shine the Lord’s Light and Word into a darkened and desperate world.

A fragrant gathering has been selected to sing a unique song!  A gathering is being orchestrated in the invisible realm for the Lord’s service.

Truly, a beautiful vision!

“Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place. For we are to God the fragrance of Christ among those who are being saved and among those who are perishing. To the one we are the aroma of death leading to death, and to the other the aroma of life leading to life. And who is sufficient for these things? For we are not, as peddling the word of God; but as of sincerity, but as from God, we speak in the sight of God in Christ.” (2 Cor. 14-17)

“Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit all. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit: To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another diverse kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these work that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. For as the body is one, and has many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.”  (1 Cor. 12:4-13)
