FEAR NOT!......SHARKS in YOUR Water> a Vision/Dream

So I was busy moving around, working in this body of water.I was doing all kinds of work. Helps all kinds of people. Church going people and non church going people alike. I was helping build houses and giving people drinks of water and helping people cool off....a little bit of everything. The water had some shallows and some semi deep areas, but no water that ever was deep enough to go over anyones head. You could see your feet where ever you were. The water was refreshing, for the most part. I knew this in my spirit. Also because the people I was helping would come into the water. (the had to come into the water to get needs met) Some were thirsty, some were hot, or worn out. Some just needed a helping hand and they would get into the water and then they would be rejuvenated and their needs would be met.


Then there was this one person; the entire time I was helping others; the entire time, that just stood in the same place in the water. He stood there so long that water's became muddied. So much so that you could not see his feet any longer through the once perfectly clear water. He had a sniper riffle he gripped very strongly and a very serious, concerned look upon his face. Every few moments I would hear a gun shot and turn around and see him with his eye to the scope of the riffle. I would quickly make my way over to him; gently guide the riffle down and instruct him with these words,
"No...no....don't shoot! Those are live people over their! You may hurt or even worse kill someone."
I must have done this about five or six times. Each time this person would  respond,
"Oh, okay." but they would't move and they would become more stuck in the muddied water.


They were actually aiming at a city afar off. So far off in fact that they riffle could not reach, (thankfully) the shots were hitting the water.


About the seventh time, I went over this person, whose arms, at this point were weary from holding up this heavy riffle and whose face was riddle with fear. I asked them, 
"Why are you shooting at the city?"


They answered me, 
"I know there is danger ahead."


I told them again not to shoot at the city because their were innocent people that may get hurt.


I walked away...then turned around one last time....and with a sad heart said,
"Don't be so focused on the future that the present is stolen from you. Today is a gift from God and Satan, the deceiver is trying to steal your gift from you."

It wasn't ten seconds and I heard screaming and when I turned around I saw great white sharks surrounding the person. The sharks mouths were all open wide. Thee man was stuck in the muddied water and could not get free and  was attacked and eaten  alive. I turned and covered my face and began to weep.

How absolutely horrifying!!! I still remember this vision!!!

I had it last night/early this morning. 

How true is it for so many of us? In so many areas of our lives?

We are so focused on our tomorrows that we loose sight of our todays?

I have been thinking about this all day today. This is one of the enemy's #1 weapons at work!

-FEAR-

Do Not Worry

Matthew 6:25-34

    ²⁵ “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothes? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? ²⁷ Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?   ²⁸ “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. ²⁹ Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. ³⁰ If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? ³¹ So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ ³²For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. ³³ But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. ³⁴ Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."


Matthew Chapter 6

Question..........

 "Why is it that the vast majority of the body of Christ avoids dealing with the issue of holiness/ sin in the house...and continues only to teach preach on the mundane things of this world which we can pretty much find in motivational books sold at  1/2 price book stores or amazon .com? (minus the scripture refs of course.) ...**people get ready Jesus is coming.....

Lyrics to People Get Ready :

I can hear the rhythm

of the Lion of the tribe of Judah

He's doing a new thing

So we're singing a new song

He's not a baby in a manger anymore

He's not a broken man on a cross

He didn't stay in the grave

And He's not staying in heaven forever!

He's alive

He's alive

He's alive

He's alive!

People get ready!

Jesus is coming!

We join in the song of the ages

It's a new song

It's a new song

It's a new song

We say to the One who was slain,

"You have proven Your love,

And You have shown us, shown us

That You can be trusted."

So take the scroll and open

And open, and open the seals

We trust You, Jesus

And we want you to come back

So take the scroll and open the seals

So take the scroll and open the seals

I can hear the rhythm

of the Lion of the tribe of Judah

He's doing a new thing

So we're singing a new song

He's not a baby in a manger anymore

He's not a broken man on a cross

He didn't stay in the grave

And He's not staying in heaven forever!

He's alive

He's alive

He's alive

He's alive!

People get ready!

Jesus is coming!

People walking around

With their fingers in the their ears

Singing, "Da da da da da."

"I don't want to hear the sound of the coming King."

But He says, he says,

"Well, I have held my peace for

A long, long, long, long time

And in my silence you thought

That i was all together like you.

And in your heart you were settled in complacency

You said, 'He won't even respond.'

You said, 'He's not interested."

You said, 'He's dead and gone."

But I've been silent for such

A long, long, long, long time

But I'm about to gasp, to pant,

To cry out, to cry out,

I'm going to shout!"

Once again I'm going to shake

Everything that can be shaken

Once again I'm going to break

Everything that can be broken

Are you ready?

Are you ready for this?

Are you ready?

Are you ready?

People get ready!

Jesus is coming!

He's coming!

He's coming!

He's coming!

He's coming!!!

Sometimes.......

Sometimes  life brings us to  places we never thought we'd ever end up. Life does, or is it the Lord? Or is it  us? I guess it could be any combination of the three at any given time of our lives. Point being we end up some place  we don't necessarily care to be; a place filled with sadness and regret; trials and challenges or just maybe a place of change. Either way it proves uncomfortable and unwelcome. Does that mean we aren't supposed to be where we find ourselves at that moment in time?....Hmmmmm...good question. I have spent allot of time on this one lately. The answer "I": have gotten from the Lord is, "Not necessarily." 


Well, I can honestly say I know the feeling well. Undeserved, unfair treatment from unknown sources.  Rejection and betrayal in return for unconditional love. No answers for questions I haven't even finished asking in my head about crazy doctor reports. Right now in my life I find myself facing some of the toughest challenges I have ever had to face. I have it coming at me from all sides. I am in the middle of a spiritual battle that is affecting me at home, at work and in my extended family and causing relational issues that should never  even exist.  Craziness. Sheer craziness.

You know the Word of God tells us in Psalm 34:19

"The righteous person may have many troubles, 

   but the LORD delivers him from them all;"

Also in the Gospel of Matthew 5:45 Jesus talks about the love of our heavenly Father and tells us how the Heavenly Father,

"... gives his sunlight to both the evil and the good, and he sends rain on the just and the unjust alike.

I have never been one to sugar coat anything....okay, well yeah, maybe I have...:)....but point being, life isn't a bowl of daisy's. 


Life can be and usually is....hard at times. If you are a person of character then you have been through hard times!


Below is a copy of  Isaiah 43:1-4 (the Message)


 I love this translation of  this verse......It is so passionate! I mean the scripture itself is passionate, but the Message translation puts it so plain and simple. I just LOVE it!

But now, God's Message, the God who made you in the first place, Jacob, 

   the One who got you started, Israel:

"Don't be afraid, I've redeemed you. 

   I've called your name. You're mine.

When you're in over your head, I'll be there with you. 

   When you're in rough waters, you will not go down.

When you're between a rock and a hard place, 

   it won't be a dead end—

Because I am God, your personal God, 

   The Holy of Israel, your Savior.

I paid a huge price for you: 

   all of Egypt, with rich Cush and Seba thrown in!

That's how much you mean to me! 

   That's how much I love you!

I'd sell off the whole world to get you back, 

   trade the creation just for you."

You know, I take time just about every day to write on my blog. I get quite a bit of feed back, private feed back, about it. I don't know why it is all private. That's okay. I have encourage people to post public comments in the past but for some reason people just don't feel comfortable doing so. That's ok. :)


What's important is that you all are ministered by what I share. BECAUSE I do this FOR YOU.


A while back, a year or so ago. A dear friend told me I needed to be more "bloggy" and transparent. Share my inner feelings and thoughts and stuff. You know, be "more real".


Well, let me assure you my precious friends everything I post is me and very real! :)


I am going through a time of trial and tribulation right now in my life.
At the same time I am head deep in love with my Master Yeshua  HaMashiach! He is my ROCK and he JoY of KnOwInG HIM gives me STRENGTH to carry on each day ! 


How? How do I find this JOY in Him? By spending time with Him....alone with Him....getting lost in Him....THAT is how I find the STRENGTH I need to make it through the tough times....the bad reports....the persecutions....the loneliness...the missing my kids...all the pain...the tears....all the misunderstanding through out all the years.....It ALL melts away just by being alone with HIM.

Lost in Him

Something I realized today...

The more lost I get get in Him ~ the less I find myself realizing that I am in another place ~ a distant place ~ a place many don't understand ~  some find odd ~ and some altogether completely avoid.

Still....I find it doesn't seem to matter to me that I find myself in this place, often times alone...with only my Lord by my side. I am completely satisfied....at peace....happy.

Lost in Him 






TRY IT....you may find you will never be the same again....you may never want what you didn't have before any more.


Get lost in HIM.

Alone with God

Quaking, shaking, crying

Sudden hush of glory

Peace, quiet, stillness,

On my face

Holy, holy, holy

Nothing else

Only holy, only holy

Nothing else

Only holy, only holy

Voice of God speaks

Small, quiet, mighty

Enters my soul

Heals, delivers, instructs

Heaven comes down

Humbled, thankful, jubilant

Angelic voices singing

Holy, holy, holy

Nothing else

Only holy, only holy

Nothing else

Only holy, only holy

I join in

On my face

Sing

Holy, holy, holy

Nothing else

Only holy, only holy

Nothing else

Only holy, only holy

Alone with God

And the Lord said....The GREAT Awakening....

This awesome ~ majestic, prophetic painting by Rik Berry, reminds me of an early morning prayer/vision I had...I thought I would share it with you here as it is rather wonderful!

Be Blessed!!

I woke up with the word "soon"  "BOOMING" in my ears......a large voice type of boom.

As I progressed to my prayer room the Lord spoke to me about prodigal not yet returned and promises unfulfilled.  

From the place where I am often taken with the Lord, high in the Heavens, I had a vision of the world covered in darkness with what seemed to be lights scattered around the darkness. Then a great rushing wind came from nowhere (that I could see) and blew on the lights which seemed small and they became connected to one another and the world became ablaze. 

(It was more than amazing!!! I do not have adequate words to describe what I saw!)

The Lord then turned to me and said,

"The great awakening is soon, and then I shall mount my stallion and bring justice to all the earth."

Boot Camp - Word from the Lord

The Lord has been  taking me through a season of obedience training....I guess that would be the best way to put it. At least that is how I am feeling about it. I guess you could say it is a sort of officer's training camp. I have already been through boot camp; when I enlisted ( gave my heart to the Lord about 36 years ago) Now I have been promoted and I am being sent to officer's training. Boot camp ALL over...Officer Style!...I keep getting this... sense of Déjà vu...as if I have already been through this and then that's when the Lord let's me know thing's are just a "little different" this time around.

And they truly are...It's all about obedience...in the small and the big things.

Obedience I have learned and now am being tested on....is the TRUE measuring stick of our FAITH and TRUST in our Lord.

Yes'em...If we can learn to be "obedient" in ALL things that the Lord has set before us...in HIS WORD....great and small...(and here is the key)...and with a peace that passes understanding, not having  to work at it, being it second nature...we will glide through this life like a hot knife through cheese cake.

I wanted to share this word that the Lord shared with me...I thought it was a word that many would benefit from...I also posted the scripture from Deuteronomy 28:1-14 where the Lord speaks directly about the blessings that will come from being obedient to his law.

It is my prayer that all who look upon these words are blessed!

Shalom in Yeshua HaMashiach

Obedience

In this season, obedience is everything for you. You need to heed my voice.

Listen and obey. Others may not understand ~ that’s okay ~ they may tell you otherwise ~ as what I say for you to do ~  but you must learn to obey my voice.

Do not be moved by your emotions. Obedience is far better than sacrifice.

Where I am taking you, you will need to be able to hear my voice and obey it without hesitation or wavering.

This is a season of the spirit man.

A season to see with your spirit eyes and to hear with your spirit ears ~ a season to walk in the spirit.

Remember  ~  the power of my Holy Spirit abides in you to my glory ~ the very power that rose me up from the grave and took me to my Father’s side in Heaven.

Obedience, sheer, obedience.

Deuteronomy 28

Blessings for Obedience

 ¹ If you fully obey the LORD your God and carefully follow all his commands I give you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations on earth. ² All these blessings will come on you and accompany you if you obey the LORD your God:

 ³ You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

 ⁴ The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

 ⁵ Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

 ⁶ You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

 ⁷ The LORD will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

 ⁸ The LORD will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The LORD your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.

 ⁹ The LORD will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the LORD your God and walk in obedience to him. ¹⁰ Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you. ¹¹ The LORD will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.

 ¹² The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. ¹³ The LORD will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the LORD your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. ¹⁴ Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them.

Deuteronomy 28:15-68 Curses for Disobedience

We're moving

Those of you who are discerning ....hear what the Lord has to say.

(I will share later what this means...now off to work!)

"I was in a house with several others. Some I recognized, some I did not.We were all of one accord. The Master of the house was with us. We were in the bedroom.

I was watching the others talk among themselves. They seemed serious and busy. Moving quickly; while at the same time, every time they walk past the Master of the house they would take a moment to stop what they were doing and just sit at his feet..just for a moment. Then they would continue on with what they were doing.

I was so curious....so I walked up to the Master of the house and asked,

"What is happening?"

This is what he said to me,

"We are moving tomorrow, we need to get ready."

I looked around again and saw that everyone around me was packing.

I looked at the Master and said,

"You mean, we need to pack everything tonight and be ready t go by morning?"

He smiled at me and said, "Yes."

I didn't speak out loud. I walked around the room in disbelief, as it was a huge bedroom. I thought in my spirit, 'How can we pack everything in one night and then travel the next day?'

Then the Master spoke again,

"Get ready tonight. There is no time to fall asleep. For tomorrow we move. Go out to the living room and show the new ones how to get ready."

At that I went into the living room and there were several visitors to the house sitting on the living room floor. There were packing boxes in front of them.

A Christmas tree fully decorated as well.

I introduced myself to them and said,

"Here let me show you what needs to be done to get ready for tomorrow."

Isaiah 40:1-5

Comfort for God’s People

 ¹ Comfort, comfort my people, 
   says your God. 
² Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, 
   and proclaim to her 
that her hard service has been completed, 
   that her sin has been paid for, 
that she has received from the LORD’s hand 
   double for all her sins.

 ³ A voice of one calling:
“In the wilderness prepare
   the way for the LORD;
make straight in the desert
   a highway for our God.
⁴ Every valley shall be raised up,
   every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level,
   the rugged places a plain.
⁵ And the glory of the LORD will be revealed,
   and all people will see it together.
            For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.”
