January 2009

Three visions I had on water. The first one I had was about four years ago. They all occurred between 3 and 4 in the morning. They were all out of body and in the presence of the Lord. I was fast asleep and all of a sudden, zoom, I was on the beach. It seemed like Ocean City in my usual spot. A gorgeous summer day and as I looked toward the ocean I say this big huge tidal wave coming, getting closer, and closer, and closer. Then my dream stopped there. I thought this was going to be in the natural like probably a lot of other people think, but this is going to be a spiritual tidal wave. Four or five years ago when I first saw this I kept my flippers and snorkel handy when I went to the beach.

The second vision I saw the Lord showed me a spigot, the kind you have on the side of your house that you put the hose on to get water. Zoomed in close on the spigot and I saw drip, drip, drip. And the Lord said to me, I know it’s been like this, but it’s going to be like this. He showed me a set of sky scrapers and smaller buildings down to a ranch. He showed me the full scene from the big buildings to the small buildings and this big tidal wave just came over the top of them all in one big whoosh.

The third one seemed to be way above the ground, about ½ a mile on my left, I was on His right, He pointed and said, look down there, and I saw a couple of mountain type things and there was a valley down and we stopped right over the valley, straight down, and I said, wow there should be water down there. And the valley floor came up to right in my face, it was real close so I could touch it. I looked at it and it looked like if there was a pond in the desert some where and the sun had dried it up and it was all cracked and hadn’t had water for a long time. The floor went back down and the next thing I knew I was down in the valley. The Lord pointed to the trees. As I looked at the trees I noticed they looked like big oak trees. Every single one of them was pruned perfectly. Up the side of the valley from the bottom to the top there was about 10 rows or so, on the left and right they were as far as I could see in both directions so I couldn’t really give you a number on them. As I looked at the trees, the Lord on my left said, look this way, and as I turned left and looked down the valley there was a big deluge of water coming down the valley. I didn’t’ understand the interpretation of the trees until two days later I flick on Benny Hinn and he had the same exact vision and he said what the trees were, they were the saints that had been purified and had gone thru the fire, and they are perfect. Water obviously represents the lack of the Holy Spirit. Where there is no water the roots of the trees grow deep into the ground. So we are all set firmly on a solid foundation. Water is obviously an outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

The fourth dream, the Lord woke me at night and said the next big boom is going to be in L.A. , CA. Boom, what kind of boom? He showed me the twin towers getting hit by the planes. Snap, immediately, I was in California overlooking Los Angels. I saw a big flash and the city just exploded. Oh my gosh, an atomic bomb, no it won’t be atomic. Then He showed me a black ship, like an oil ship, I only saw the nose of it, and the writing on it appeared to be Arabic or Oriental. I didn’t quite catch it. In the background there were oil tanks, like a refinery. I saw three or four of them and just the nose of the black ship, it was all so black. And He said, from an unexpected source.

I would like to share one line that was given by Sharon Schmidt on the 25th of January. “The Lord was speaking about the glory, and the opportunity to for many people to enter into His glory in a way that you have never done before.” As we were praying over that this is the scripture that the Lord gave me: John 17:22 (Christ speaking) and the glory which you gave Me I have given them that they may be one just as we are one. I in them, You in Me, that they may be perfect in one”. When the presence of the Lord, that is the glory of God, the glory of God is here right now, and that glory, the first thing it wants to do is make a oneness in the Body of Christ. It says in Psalm 133, where the brothers are in unity that is where the blessing of the Lord is. And the glory and the presence of the Lord are here right now. And I am going to take a step of faith and if you have a need this morning come, gather, let the church gather around you for a couple of minutes, and pray for you that we might know what it is to flow in the glory of God, in the presence of our God.

I believe that Lord would speak to some others yet this morning in spite of all that has gone on and in spite of all that has been done, in spite of all that has been sung and all that has been said, I believe that the Lord has shown me that there are several here today that are bound up. You are still bound up. There is something in your heart that you are not releasing. I know one in particular. I believe He is speaking and saying you are forgiven. You need to understand that, you need to receive that. You are forgiven. All that has been done in the past is done in the past, and God would say to you this morning, I don’t know what you are talking about. And there are others here this morning and I saw you like this and outwardly it looks like you are in an attitude of prayer, but you aren’t. You are guarding your heart, trying to keep God from doing a work in your heart. And God would have you know, He could go through your arms, He could go through your back, but what He wants you to do this morning is open your arms and allow Him to come in and do something. But He wants you to receive it, He wants you to want it this morning.

This is confirmation to what Bob just said. When we were singing, Jesus reigns in this place. The Lord said, He doesn’t reign in this building. It’s in our hearts. He said, there are people who are guarding their hearts from allowing Me to come in. He desires to reign in our hearts. Open your heart to the Lord and allow Him to come in. There is healing, there is refreshing, there is life. The Lord, showed me there are people just guarding their hearts, and He was doing this He said, go ahead go up and tell them open their hearts today to the Lord. Let Him reign there. He doesn’t reign in a building, He seeks us, we are the living temple of the living God.

God showed me that some of you think that God is like your earthly father. And when you did something wrong you expected the punishment, and he would whoop your butt. Be we don’t serve a father in heaven like that, our Father in heaven through His mercy and grace and His son Jesus Christ forgives our sin, and as my brother said, what is past you’ve ask is forgiven and is never remembered again.

After song – “Worthy is the Lamb’

Worthy is the Lamb. Worthy is the Lamb, of our whole heart. Of your whole heart.

From: Kathleen Lukas

Various times – submitted in writing

For all those in ministry:

It is the Love of God that heals. It is the Love of God that heals. It is not formulas; it is not trickery; it is not manipulation. It is the Love of God that heals.

Cleanse your hearts to make the way. Depend on Me.

For some men:

You let your wives tempt you from the path. They drip their poison (gossip/complaining/ accusations) into your ears (drip, drip, drip – as though this takes place over time) and your hearts harden, unable to perform My work or share My love as I need you to do. Beware.

Eve tempted Adam from Me. Use wisdom. Use discernment. If she (your wife) has strayed from the path, do not join her; call her to you. Call her to Me, to repentance. Love her and pray with her; always pray for her. If she will not repent, remove yourself from her company. (not a marital separation, just leave the room)

Some of you men are worse than gossipy, old women. In many words, sin is not absent.

Turn off the flow. Pride puffs up; love lifts up. Instead of gossiping, pray – Close the door and pray alone, without telling anyone else about it -- ever.

For other men:

Your wives call you higher, and you reject that call. They know how your serve Satan with your eyes (coveting, burning with lust, one man even calls it "enjoying the view" as though it weren't a vile and destructive sin.) and by this you serve Satan in your heart. Your wives know (experience intimately, passionately, painfully) and weep bitterly over your betrayal of your marriage bed (whether "just" in thought or in deed).

I weep for you!

You cannot serve two masters! Choose! Cleave to Me. Capture your every thought and offer it up to Me. Repent! Pray for the sanctification and purity of the women you've defiled with your lust, against Me. They are My sacred daughters, My beloved creations! Pray in appreciation of your wives or future wives (if not married). They are your blessing, My creation for your keeping. (Yuck, my flesh doesn't like that term, but that's what I keep getting an impression of. He corrects my thinking: not 'keeping' like an animal, but keeping like an exceptional treasure He wants back, entrusted and highly valued, like a responsibility He will take an account of with especially with you husband and father-folk, but to some extent with Brother-in-Christ folk re: Sisters-in-Christ, widows, orphans, innocents, etc.)

I am your God. I will fill you with My Power. Submit to Me, reject evil and you will break this (evil) power off of you, in My Name. BE SET FREE. Make no place for its return. CLOSE ALL THE DOORS. Do not sit (join in or even keep company) with those who strive to define their manly prowess by this sin. They don't know what a powerful man is. They don't know Me. Do not sit and listen to them give voice or be with them when they give unction (spiritual power radiating through – in this case -- active sin, lusting, watching women, etc.) to their evil desires. Get up and walk away. Remove yourself. Run. Reject. Flee sexual sin, lest it cling to you.Reject this sin and save yourself. Despise it to the core, for even a small amount will infiltrate your life. It will throw the door open to kill you and destroy your most treasured dreams. [I see Satan maliciously gloating and mocking those he has caught in this trap and destroyed in the past: men, women, children, God's work and reputation (witness that would have brought people to the Kingdom but was destroyed), but God will set you free of the evil one, if you will repent and trust//obey Him.] Do NOT take this lightly.Cut it off! Though you love it as your own eye or your own hand. Cut it off! Be set free! Receive My Forgiveness and My Love. Be set free, as you worship Me. Cleave to Me. Cleave to Me. Worship Me. Speak My Words and Love (Trust) Me.["Obey" is also implied in Love and Trust.] Worship Me and receive My healing love. I will replace that area of desire with something more satisfying. You will look back at what was with revulsion and look forward in freedom and joy.

Be cleansed. Be cleansed. Be cleansed, set free and sanctified wholly to Me Alone, and I will weep with joy for you!

For another specific man:

You have abandoned your position as sacrificial head of the house. You have thrown your wife away emotionally. You distance yourself from her (and your children and your responsibilities at home) and, by doing so, you distance yourself from Me. You seek happiness in the shallow (temporal) things of this world (pride, being 'cool', male-bonding) and put your home's responsibilities on her. She is not meant to bear all that you have burdened her with. Build your relationship with Me; let the Joy of the Lord be your greatest strength; share that Joy with your family. Yes, I want you to serve Me, but first rebuild your covenant with your wife. You cannot please Me and push her away. [You are allowed boundaries and even time to yourself, but not excuses to live the single life.] Love her (actively, sacrificially) and I will hear your prayers and work the changes you desire. Demonstrate to her the covenant I demonstrate to you: Truth, Love, Faithfulness. Joy will follow. Devote yourself to her as a man in the first year of marriage. [speaking of ancient Jewish custom, not necessarily how you behaved in your first year of marriage. Not abandoning all of God for her, but putting aside your own selfish/ego-centered desires and motivations, devoting yourself to meet her desires (household duties, other?)] Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Give her and your children your time, and I will soften her heart; I will take away her bitterness.

For another specific man in ministry:

I see your burdens. I see your wife's burdens. I see how she is tormented and in frustration, punishes and blames you unjustly, harshly, degradingly with her words. But I see the Truth, My Son. Those words are not from Me. I value you. I love you. You are My mighty and treasured one. They don't see you as I do, strong and set apart. You are blessed, My son. You serve Me diligently and with a whole heart, blessing many with your gentleness and humility, pouring My Love out to heal and nurture My lambs. I bless you, My son. Receive My love. Ask Me, and receive relief of your burdens and torments. Seek Me, and I will satisfy. Some men in your fellowship do not have pure, whole hearts, though you look up to them and fall in with them for fellowship. Keep your heart pure and safe from their influence. Look up to Me Alone, My son, My beloved son. Pray for humble fellowship.

The Lord has come to give you life and life more abundant that you might be free to walk in His presence. That glory of the Lord would come and fall upon you and lift you. That you might see His face to give the honor and the glory unto His name.

The Lord says, “Stir up that gift which is inside of you. Stir up that gift that is sitting down and that you have beaten down. With not having confidence in Him you have taken that gift and you have beaten it down. It is easier to be mean to your brother then it is to lift him up. It is easier to say to yourself, you are no good than it is to believe what God’s word says, that you are the head and not the tail. It is easy for your spirit sometimes to cast down your neighbor next to you and the people in your area and the people that you worship with and the people that you work with. The Lord says, stir up that gift which is inside of you. And He says that gift is love. He says you can vote you can march, you can picket but if you don’t have love you have nothing. You have nothing, nothing if you don’t have love. It is hard, think about it – the times when you are mean and nasty. Those of you who are a boss and are in charge or people think of how hard it is sometimes to be nice to that employee. Or you who is that employee how hard it is to say something nice about you boss, or about your spouse, or about your children who are on drugs, or about your daughters who are choosing a way that is not of God. But the Lord says, say yes to Me, say yes to Me, and say yes to love. Because if you are not loving them then you are in sin, says the Lord of Hosts. Stir up the gift of love, stir it up, stir it up.

I believe the Lord showed me both sides of a situation. I saw an employer or one who would head something up and an employee/someone helping to get a job or something accomplished.

As an employer or one who heads something up, the Lord showed me you're not to be so task oriented that you lose focus of what's really important - people - choosing love, like Brother Andy said.

As far as the employee or the one there helping, the Lord showed me that you are there to get a job accomplished. Standing around talking, diverting others from their job, is not pleasing to the Lord. The focus is to work as part of a team to get the job accomplished; doing this work as unto the Lord to please Him.

1st paragraph is against evil spirit(s). Paragraphs following are a warning to those who call and follow that spirit.

O Cliquish, Gossipy Witchcraft

be bound and made powerless,

be cast down

obliterated into dust

and blown away.

It is your insecurity that drives you.

You are threatened, and

your pettiness and envy set aflame.

You make excuses to disobey Me.

You manipulate and control your (man) puppets,

who do the same,

devising curses to satisfy your own base and carnal desires,

disguising them as My will,

but your heart is vile to Me.

O Cliquish, Gossipy Witchcraft,

Judge yourself.

Tongues … And the Lord would say, like the sea never loses its salt, like the sun never loses the brightness, I am always shinning, even in the darkness, you can see My light. Let Me drive, give Me a chance to drive, give Me the keys to the car. Tongues … Give Me the keys to the car, let Me drive. I promise I won’t disappoint you. I don have My license, I could drive, after all I run the universe, I probably could do it better than you. tongues … Let Me drive, let Me be the driver of your life.

I felt this morning, by the Spirit of God, that there is someone here, and you are wondering if God could sustain you. What is in question is the new creation. The Lord even before there was an earth, and even before there were the stars in the heaven and the moon at night. Even before there was a universe, even before there was the creation as you know it as. It was in the counsel of the Most High God that you might know this day. And even before, even before the air that fills your lungs, even before there was that air, saith your God, I knew and I understand. And even from the beginning of the history of man up until this day, everything that man has experienced and come to know with his intellect and with his knowledge, it is but one thought of you God. It is but one thought of your God. So the Lord would say unto you this morning, you decide, you decide, am I able to sustain you or not.

In worship I heard the Lord say, I am calling for a newness of God’s people. He is calling for newness. And He showed me a vessel in the hands of its maker being thrown down and being smashed into pieces. I heard the Lord say, He wanted clean vessels, vessels of honor, fashioned by the Holy Spirit. Not vessel fashioned by how we see them, pretty, shiny, painted up, nicely adorned that we can sit on the shelf and say this is our Christianity. God does not want that, He wants a vessel that is broken, that HE can mold and shape and fashion according to His word. And when that is done He wants to pour in His Spirit. He wants to pour out His Spirit on all of us but we have to be willing to allow the Holy Spirit to prepare us, so we have to be willing to take those pretty vessels off the shelf and be thrown down and broken into pieces, pieces that whereby we can’t put them back together. Broken into pieces and then built up. Earthen vessels shaped by the Masters hand, molded into honor. And then He showed me an old patch on a new garment, and He also showed me that new wine can’t be poured in old skins. So the Lord is calling for a newness today, He is calling for newness. Come to God and be willing to be broken, say Lord, here am I, and allow the Holy Sprit to show you those area in you life that you have adorned your vessel with that are not of God. Allow the Holy Spirit, we can’t do it on our own but we have to be willing.

The Lord keeps bringing to me “the core”. It’s the core group of Praise. He’s showing me that the core group of Praise is tired and weary. At sisterhood, the Lord confirmed this to me because the core people who came in, Joe saw that most of them were weary. I believe it has to do with the ones serving this body for about 20 years or so. The number of years is not the issue. It’s that the Lord want to totally refresh them and revive them for the next step in His plan at Praise. We are the prophetic group need to see and ask the Lord how to accomplish this.

I saw a vision this morning of somebody limping on one leg. And it is not a physical limp, it is a spiritual limp. This spiritual limping was with you for a very, very long time. He came by and He straightened you up and you started walking again real straight and nice and then you started limping again. And limping again. And then the Lord showed me that it wasn’t one person, that it is the body of Christ. The body of Christ has been limping and just being able to accept the limp instead of pressing in to things of God as a church and walking upright and not limping any more. It almost like the Lord was saying, My people have become so comfortable they like the little limp. They like the little limp that the body of Christ carries with them. He no longer wants the church, the body of Christ, to limp. He says, Be holy, for I am holy. And holiness is being set apart unto God and it speaks of purity. We come and we raise our hands, and it is an awesome thing to raise our hands before God. God showed me that when you raise your hands it’s surrender. When your hands are up you are surrendering, so He would like His people to surrender those things that are causing the body of Christ to limp, what ever those things are. If it’s gossip, or negativity, or sin, just plain old sin. Can we just call sin, sin, and the Lord says, be holy because I am holy. We need to be like Jesus, we can attain that, He says it in His word.

Communion goes both ways. We think of communion as we receive Christ, accept Him for what He did, His brokenness, and the blood that was poured out. And we receive Him and we say in this act we accept you as our savior, we accept what you have done. It goes both ways. He wants to receive our brokenness. To receive our lives poured out for Him, in commune of us and commune of our spirit. He said, it is not just you receiving Me, it’s Me receiving of you, it’s Me receiving of your life, or your heart. As you receive this communion this morning not only receive of Christ but give of yourselves.
