Let it Rain! ~ He will come to us like the rain!

"Let us acknowledge the LORD;
   let us press on to acknowledge him.
As surely as the sun rises,
   he will appear;
he will come to us like the winter rains,
   like the spring rains that water the earth." Hosea 6:3

I had thee  most wonderful ~ incredible dream last night!!!

It was raining!!

Now I know most everyone reading this is probably laughing at that statement. NOT because it's funny, but because I sound insane. Seeing that here in Cincinnati alone we have had over 13 inches of rain in one month alone! Unprecedented amount of rainfall for us!

However, in my dream I was walking TO church and though it was raining "a little" in the streets....(this is the exciting part!!!!)....when I opened the doors to the church and looked inside.....it was packed with people and pouring rain!!!! 

Yep, 

that's what I said!

Pouring rain ~ INSIDE the church. No hole in the roof either!...I looked!

It was the most blessed site! I just walked and walked and walked around.

People all around were lifting their hands high in the air, singing and praising God. 

Some were crying and others shouting thanksgiving. Some were dancing in the rain!!! Oh ~ and the church was huge. Much, much larger than it appeared on the outside.

It was absolutely thee most glorious site I had ever seen, ever!

I believe ~ that this was a dream of the rain of Holy Spirit upon the Church!!! ~ The Lord showing me what is about to take place... A great awakening in the body of Christ....possibly  what was  spoken of by the Prophet Joel ch 2~

"In the last days, God says, 

   I will pour out my Spirit on all people. 

Your sons and daughters will prophesy, 

   your young men will see visions, 

   your old men will dream dreams. 

 Even on my servants, both men and women, 

   I will pour out my Spirit in those days, 

   and they will prophesy. 

 I will show wonders in the heavens above 

   and signs on the earth below, 

   blood and fire and billows of smoke. 

 The sun will be turned to darkness 

   and the moon to blood 

   before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord. 

 And everyone who calls 

   on the name of the Lord will be saved."

"Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking." Ezekiel 1:28

Inside the Gate

Inside the Gate

I had a dream that I was driving along a road in my car and I went off the main road and went up a steep, steep, hill. A one way road. I was driving like I was on a mission. I passed a drive way about half way up the steep hilly road, and there were a good number of guards that were trying to get my attention, trying to get me to turn into a particular drive way that was half way up then hill.  (hinds sight - I think they may have been trying to keep me from reaching the the top of the hill) However I was determined to make it to the top of the hill, so I kept driving. I pretended like I didn't hear or see the guards trying to waive me away from the top of the hill. As I neared  top of the hill the road got steeper and steeper and I could see that the atmosphere was brighter and brighter. Which made me even more determined to get to the top.

And I did.

I finally made it...to the top of the hill......there was a HUGE gate at the top. One gate.

The gate only opened IN.

Now that I had reached the top there was no way for me to turn around...and...as I found myself at the top of the illuminated hill I also found myself a teeny bit afraid....a sort of "holy fear" came over me.

Then the gate opened up...and my teeny bit afraid became much afraid...in a good way....as a HUGE...I mean very, very tall...maybe 20 foot angel opened the gate; he didn't look too happy either. He spoke to me and said, "You do not belong here."

He pointed inside the gate. At that, I drove inside the gate just enough so I could turn around....and enough to see something I do not have words to adequately to describe. Then I drove back down the hill and the angel closed the gate behind me.

After I made it safely down the hill...a very large storm began to brew.
The Lord has been speaking to me allot about storms.

THIS was an AWESOME encounter!!!!!

Storm Warning....How many will it take?

I dreampt I was in my home during a GREAT STORM

This storm came suddenly.No one; the people of the town, the church, nor myself, were expecting this storm.
It was as if it woke us up in the middle of the night and wrecked havoc throughout the area.


By morning you see the wide spread but very specific damage. My house was untouched. 


The house next door to mine, belonging to "my family", (although I do not believe it was my blood family. I am inclined to believe it was my family the the Lord...the Body of Christ; the church)





That house, though from the outside looked fine, as though it had not been damaged by the storm. Inside it was totaled. Water and wind damage, both. It was so bad off that those who lived there were told they should no longer do so, for safety sake.









Shortly after I had the first dream after waking and then falling asleep I had another dream.


I was in my home. It was a trailer that was attached, permanently attached, to the sanctuary of a HUGE cathedral.
My two daughters and I were sitting talking amongst ourselves and we felt and we felt a "pre" tremble. (a small earthquake)...and then another one. We felt several very small trembles. We all looked at each other and said about the same time,
"What IS this?"
Then the earth began to ....ShAkE........I said, "It's an earthquake. Come close."
My one daughter came to my side and my other daughter ran towards the church grounds with tears and concerns in her voice she said,
"What about our brothers? They need to be safe too!"

I went to her and touched her arm. I thought for a second,
"Maybe she's right, "Maybe it's safer in the big cathedral than in the small trailer."


Then I saw a man walking walking towards us, from the cathedral, he just gently shook his head and I knew we needed to stay put.

It was Jesus, and it was His peace I felt. More was coming we knew we needed to stay close to each other and to Jesus.

I Can't LIVE without IT!!!!!!

Hello everyone. :)
Or at least everyone who ends up reading this. I am sitting here at Starbucks with eldest daughter just passing the time as she is working ever so hard studying  for one of her college finals. I am here with her, not because I can help her, because  I can't. I don't know the first thing about the subject she is studying. I am here simply to be near her....AND....at her request I might add. She simply put, just wanted to spend time with me. :)

That in and of itself made my heart jump with joy! I don't think I could ever adequately express to my daughter just how wonderful just having her desire spending time with me makes me feel....and I am perfectly happy just sitting here being quiet, doing my own thing, while she does hers. No conversation to speak of really; between the two of us.
Oh yeah, maybe an occasional, "Oh my goodness did you see that cute little boy and his father?" Or maybe and panicked, "I am starting to stress right night! Help me PAAAALEASE!!!! Will you promise to make me finish this home work?"
But aside from that, we are just sitting here enjoying each others company.

You know, I can't help but think that must be how our Heavenly Father feels when we desire to be in His presence.

Just think about it for a moment ~ how often do we - wait - until we feel -that everything is just right - just perfect - we have all our ducks in a row.........before we ask G_d to come spend time with us?
I don't know about you but with me nothing is ever just right - nothing is ever perfect - and I never have all my ducks in a row. If I wait for that to happen I would never have quiet time with Abba Father...

And I could never LIVE without my time alone with G_d! 


All this to say and encourage all of us to not put off for even one moment spending time alone with our Heavenly Father. The moments we spend or give up rather, spending alone with our Abba Father are moments that can never be regained. They are lost forever......Just the same as moments we give up spending with each other or our own children.


Each moment in time has it's own  special divine purpose. If that divine purpose is not recognized and embraced at it's G-d given point in time, it is then passed by until the net moment in time. At which point we have the opportunity to recognize and embrace that moment and it's divine opportunity and purpose and so on. 


Life is full of divine opportunities. They just aren't all the same.


Please know my intention in the post is to encourage not to discourage you...and to remind us all what Jesus said in the book of Revelation 3:20 


"Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with person, and they with me."

I encourage each and everyone of us to answer the door when we hear the Lord knocking...no matter the time of day or night. I have lived through seasons myself where the Lord has awakened me in the middle of the night for months on end. I will admit, it wasn't easy [in the flesh] at first to get myself out of bed at 2:30 am and go out to the living room to just sit there in the quiet and wait on the Lord....when I knew I had to get up and go to work the net morning.....but it also didn't take long for the presence of Holy Spirit to greet me in my obedience and the Glory of the Lord and the peace of his majesty, Yeshua to fill not only my heart and soul but the entire house. Those were some of thee most incredible times I have EVER had with my G-d! Bar none!


So....when will you hear the voice of the Lord.... answer like Samuel did...."Here I am Lord!. Speak for your servant is listening."  [1 Samuel 1:1-21]


Shalom!
