Houses of light - Dream

January 3, 2012

It was very early in the morning and I had already been awaken at least three time since 2 o'clock am. Such urgency in my spirit. I can not pin point anything. Each time I wake up I feel  the over whelming need to pray for mercy. So I do and fall back asleep as I do. Each new sleep I am met with yet another dream impressing upon my heart the need for prayer. Personal prayer for me and my loved ones as well as prayer for the body of Christ as a whole. Time is running out.

Then - I have the dream. The dream that leaves it's impression on my heart. On my mind. On my soul. The dream I can not shake. I can not forget.
So simple. Yet so intense. Like all the other dreams lately that I have received form the Lord. It was short and straight to the point.

I was in this dream. At the same time I was not really a part of this dream. I was more of an observer able to move freely through this dream.

This dream was the last of three I had this night/early morning of January 3, 2012. The dream right before this one I was flying through the sky with many of my family (in Christ) and my blood family husband and children, we had been challenged in our faith; persecuted for believing on the Lord Yeshua/Jesus. (the short version) Along with many. many others. We chose to fly high up into the sky and far, far away from our oppressors.

The end of this flying dream brings us to the beginning of the dream I wanted to share. The "Houses of Light" dream.

Suddenly there was a great darkness all around. Like a blanket.The sky had become black. No stars. No moon. There was this horrible, loud noise. It sounded like screaming. A multitude of screams together all at once that just continued. It lasted for a period of time. Then, after a short time of complete darkness I could see very small houses begin to light up within the darkness. One right after the other. As I walked through this dream I could see that these houses, the ones with the lights on, were the homes where the believers were gathered together inside. Other than these houses with lights there was nothing but complete darkness.


The air was cold. There were distant sounds of voices crying out. It was so eerie.


Then...it was as if I was being drawn upwards and away and the land was becoming smaller and smaller.
I was now looking down on the earth from some where in the heavens. 
That's when I heard "His" voice.
 He said,
"Soon. Stay alert - be watchful."
Then I woke up.

A Prayerfully Personalized 3 Minute Scripture Lift

***

“I will extol the Lord at all times;

His praise will always be on my lips.

My soul will boast in the Lord;

Let the afflicted hear and rejoice.”

***

~ Promises ~

“The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;

he delivers them from all their troubles.

The Lord is close to the broken hearted

And saves those who are crushed in spirit.

A righteous man may have many troubles,

But the Lord delivers him from them all;”

“Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture.

Delight yourself in the Lord

And he will give you the desires of your heart.”

“Better the little that the righteous have

than the wealth of many wicked.”

***

“I desire to do your will, O my God;

your law is within my heart.

I proclaim your righteousness in the great assembly;

I do not seal my lips,

As you know O Lord.

I do not hide your righteousness in my heart;

I speak of your faithfulness and salvation.

I do not conceal your love and your truth from the great assembly.”

“I do not trust in my bow,

my sword does not bring my victory;

but you give me victory over my enemies,

you put my adversaries to shame.

In God I make my boast all day long,

And I will praise your name forever.”

“I waited patiently for the Lord;

he turned to me and heard my cry.

He lifted me out of the slimy pit,

Out of the mud and the mire;

He set my feet on a rock

And gave me a firm place to stand.

He put a new song in my mouth,

A hymn of praise to our God.”

“If the Lord delights in a man’s way,

he makes his steps firm;

though he stumble, he will not fall,

for the Lord upholds him with his hand.”

***

“Cast your cares on the Lord

and he will sustain you;

he will never let the righteous fall.”

Be Blessed with every good blessing in our Precious Savior and Lord Jesus!

Scriptures, in order in which they were written, taken from the book of Psalms:

Psalms  34: 1,2,17,18,19 -  37: 3,4,16 -  40:8,9,10, -  44:8,9,10  - 40:1,2,3, -  37:23,24  -  55:22

And He said to me...(A word from the Lord)

"Your greatest strength will become your greatest weakness and your greatest weakness will be your greatest strength.”

I have been thinking about this for a long time now. It's like one of those riddles that appears to be so complex but in the end is really quite simple. You see my greatest [natural] strength is nothing in the spirit world [or even in this world without Holy Spirit] I can not overcome anything on my own. However in the revelation of true humility and reverence, if I lay myself down [my strength] before G_d; I then become completely weak. I am no longer displaying a strength, but a weakness for all to see. Both spirit world and natural. Just as Jesus did when He denied His right as Lord and walked the road to Calvary. It is then that my strength, having become my weakness at this point,is now TRANSFORMED AGAIN INTO MY GREATEST STRENGTH!

Because it is in my weakness that G_d's power is made perfect! Oh Halleluia! 2 Cor. 12:9

 It all started while I was sitting with the Lord, talking about the current condition of the church. I was feeling so over whelmed with the directive I had received from Him as well as all the love I was feeling for the lost. I was feeling so small, so very incapable of accomplishing all that had been divinely set before me to do. I just melted in my seat and began to weep. Holy Spirit...continued on speaking to my heart.

Shhhhh Still your soul and wait
Know that I am God
Know that I have your life in the palm of my hand
Know me. Trust me. Believe me

Come now ~ come now ~ come now away with me
To our place
Come now ~ come now away with me
Let the worries of this world fall away and sit here with me
Just sit here with me
Do you hear the rain? See the snow? Feel my Glory?
Let it embrace you ~ Let go of all that hinders you
Let my presence over come you
Let my love sweep through you

Haaaa haaaa haaaa hear the laughter
Hear the songs of angels singing
Come dance with me now,
Come away ~ come away ~ come away with me now
Still your soul ~ come away ~ and know that I love you

Oh Taste and see that the Lord is Good!!!

3:30 a.m. God's Calling

The house is quiet with the the exception of the heater kicking on and off every so often; and the tick-tick-tick of the kitchen clock. I find myself in an oh so familiar place; tossing and turning in bed unable to fall asleep. On one hand I want desperately to fall asleep, on the other I know deep down inside that the Spirit  of God is calling me for some. one on one, time. I am - facing - the ultimate battle. Flesh/vs/Spirit. Thankfully, tonight my spirit man won!

I honestly don't know why it's such a struggle. I know how amazing these midnight - one on one times - are, with the Lord. Still....It can be such a struggle sometimes to get out of bed.

Tonight my time has left me with an acute sense of time. "Life - time." The kind of time that is person specific.
None of us really knows when "our time" here on earth is through. I mean it could be any moment. I am sure all of us would like to think it isn't "any time soon". However, let's be real here, it very well could be. Only God himself knows when.

My blog today isn't so much about touching on getting ready or being ready for our destined - unknown time. ( although that is a good idea!)  After my midnight date with the Lord I just wanted to share with you all  little something I wrote. Something about making the most out of life or out of each day. Remembering to take the time to do the important things.

I know life can get hectic and try to convince us we don't have the time to take for the smaller (most  important) things in life. I am going to change my way of thinking.

Hope you enjoy the following!

********************************************************************************

Today is the day to live my life.

Not yesterday, not tomorrow.

One day at a time to it’s fullest for me.

For I know not what tomorrow holds.

Today, I shall live abundantly!

One day at a time; yet making the most of it.

Being extra careful about what I say;

Thinking of others; remembering to pray.

One day at a time, seizing every moment;

Listening closely to hear the softest spoken word

stepping lightly to meet other’s needs without being heard.

One day at time, looking forward to eternal life;

Sharing the gospel with everyone I can.

Loving and caring for every race of man.

Yes

One day at a time; I will live my life.

For the one who gave his life for me;

So that I could learn to grow and be;

And live this life I now live;

One day at a time.

Taking Time to Pray

Sunday Morning Traffic Jam

Up and out of bed

Before the sun is up

“I should pray before I wake the others, but I am late and no time today.”

Start the coffee brewing

We need that to start the day

“I should really pray before I wake the others, but I am late and no time today.”

In the shower for me

Before the others get up

“I should really pray before I wake the others, but I am late and no time today.”

I will start the breakfast

Have it ready when the others get up

“I should really pray before I wake the others, but I am late and no time today.”

I will go wake the others now

So they will not be late

“I should really pray before I wake the others, but I am late and no time today.”

I have waken the others

Everything is ready

“I should have prayed before I woke the others, but I was late and had no time today.”

The others got up

Chaos ensued

A Traffic Jam in the House, who knew?

Just like that

The peace disappeared

I knew I should have taken the time to pray, but I was late, I only missed one day.

I went back to the bedroom

Fell down on my knees

I knew we were late but I wouldn’t leave ~

Until I took the time to pray.
