DREAMS OF FIRE/STORMS AND PROTECTION

Several nights ago, I had a dream that a fairly large body of believers were gathered on my property, having a camp meeting so to speak out in the back of the yard, preparing for a soon mission trip. I was facing the back of the property, and suddenly, without notice, in the blink of an eye, three of the four sides of the property were completely engulfed in flames, ablaze, with thick, black smoke bellowing around us and coming towards us. The shock at the fact that there was no warning, really caused me to immediately have anxiety. I mean, how could I be looking out one minute at trees and shrubs and the next blink of my eye I see a blazing inferno around me? I said out loud, "this can't be possible". I started shouting orders to several of the people to get the hoses, although my heart knew this would be futile against such a massive fire. Yet in my human nature, it was what I began to do. I started to run towards the north, the only side where there wasn't fire, feeling a trememdous fear try to overcome me. There's no way out of this I thought. "God! Where are you in this? Why is this happening? We are your people!!" As I came around the side of the house running, I was immediately stopped by what felt like two large hands holding me on my shoulders. I froze. Then I heard a voice speak, "I have told you that you have nothing to fear. Trust in Me and I will protect you." As I came around the front of the house, the most amazing thing about this was, there were firetrucks on the street outside the gate, but they were leaving! One of the trucks was finishing with wrapping up his hose, and as I quickly looked back to the fire, it was out, and there was grey smoke and nothing but charred trees and ashes on the ground. Faster than I or anyone could react to this fire, our Lord had already taken care of it, and we were under His protection the entire time. I had such a sense of awe and of peace, knowing that He actually GOES BEFORE US! This is the meaning for me of this dream. We will definitely be experiencing radical times, but we MUST know that He does have our backs, that we are nothing in our own efforts, that even when the situations present insurmountable in our minds, HE HAS SEEN US THROUGH! Hallelujah Yeshua, Keeper of our souls.

The very same night, my oldest daughter had a dream as well. In hers, she was walking somberly with head down through a beautiful tall, yellow, grassy field. She was watching from behind, as if watching herself. To the left were hills with many trees, the left sky filled with dark storm clouds, thunder and lightning. To the right were more hills with trees, but all on fire, the smoke just as black as the sky to the left. The scene then flashed white and came back, but this time, she was walking with a young man, who looked to be around 19 or 20, hand in hand, walking in the same somber manner with head down. He then turned to her and said "No matter how hard things get, I will never leave you." The dream then ended. My daughter is not sure whether this man represented someone, or something, but the message appears clear.

Our God is indeed with us, and will never forsake us, no matter how bad things get.

Genesis 15:1

King James Version (KJV)
15 After these things the word of the Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

Psalm 16:1

16 Preserve me, O God: for in thee do I put my trust.

1 Chronicles 22:18a

18 Is not the Lord your God with you? and hath he not given you rest on every side?
 
 

Deuteronomy 31:8

And the Lord, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.


NOTE ABOUT ATHEIST DREAM

Dear readers, I have temporarily taken the atheist vision of Heaven off the blog until I further research the author's forum. Questions have arisen from several readers concerning the author's belief presently. As with all posts from me and of anything I copy and post on my blog, I pray that you would always read with discernment and understand that I  always do my best to accurately represent the Word of God and matters concerning the Kingdom, and would never intentionally post anything contrary to what the bible teaches. Thank you for your understanding and prayers.

THE BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD

While praying this morning and asking Yeshua to remove the burden of anxiety that was attempting to distract me from Him, He spoke a few comforting words. I have been very aware of an increasing activity in the last few months in the spiritual realm, and He did confirm that conditions have indeed escalated. Situations and people are not always what they seem, and I'm beginning to understand that we must prepare not only for the expected, but for the unexpected. He spoke very recently about the enemy being so close, even at our doors, and I have heard from several close to me that indeed they are experiencing a level of evil like never before. We need to remember, that the division and strife will first begin with Yeshua separating the wheat and the chaff in the family and closest of friends, and then He moves out from there. The body of Christ is being cleansed and purged and refined. My prayer is that His words comfort you as they do me, and we all continue to draw closer to Him as a result.

My daugher, you are experiencing a level of intensity not previously felt. The battle in the spirit realm rages on, and many, many of My saints are feeling the seriousness of the times in which you live. Yes, the enemy has gotten extremely close with some of you, and it will take all of your focus on Me for you to stand in the midst of the throngs of wickedness thrown at you and your loved ones. I come not as the lamb for slaughter this time, but as the Lion of Judah who will conquer with the Sword of My Spirit. If your house is built upon Me, your Rock, you will come through each attack victorious. But woe to those who are lukewarm and believe in their own power and strength to endure. They will find very soon that they are nothing in their own abilities, and they will fall. I have given you the tools you need to endure. It is up to you to obey, study My Word daily, and look to Me for everything. I alone can sustain you through any trial, and I have given you the power to repel all evil. My blood, and My name is all you need. Remember My beloved, when attacks come at you, you need to plead My blood covering over you and those you love, pray My name, repeatedly, and the enemy must flee. The battle is not yours to fight, it belongs to Me. I have conquered sin and death and sickness and all forms of evil for ALL TIME. The battle is won! Guard your hearts and your minds. Of this I can not stress enough. The enemy is very cunning, and so many of My people are falling into his traps. He seeks to devour and destroy you as he whispers in the dark, but I will always come as truth and light. You are experiencing a great, great shifting now in this earth, and My people shall rejoice as My Kingdom becomes manifest once and for all. Expect the unexpected, and do not rely on anything to remain constant other than Me. In your world, there are no constants, and so it is I alone you must seek. There will be great upheaval, and you know not when I will call upon you to do mighty deeds for My Kingdom, and so you must remain prepared in your hearts. Do not sway, do not doubt Me. You will see miraculous events amongst the tribulations. I will be known on this earth and My voice will be heard. Do not underestimate the seriousness of the times in which you live! Ready yourselves, for My Kingdom is come! I wish that it would be on this earth as it is in Heaven. Heads high My chosen ones, I do not tarry much longer! Remember you follow the only true King!!

Yeshua, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah

1 Samuel 17:45,46

King James Version (KJV)
45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied.
 47 And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give you into our hands.

I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded (equipped) thee, though thou hast not known me:

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.






UPDATE ON PRAYER REQUEST

I wish to extend a very sincere thank you to all of you who have been praying for the young man with the blood disorder. He is now at home resting, and in improving condition. Thanks be to God. The power of our prayers is evident in this situation.

URGENT PRAYER REQUEST

I would ask that all my readers please lift up and pray for healing for a young man named Noah. He is 13 years old and has been diagnosed with ITP, a blood disorder in which his body attacks his own platelets and destroys them. His condition is quite serious at this moment, and he is in the ER for internal bleeding. Please pray for our Jehovah Rafah, the ultimate Physician, to restore his body to it's perfect health, and also to cure his diabetes. Pray also for his mother and father, for their strength and faith.  The family are believers and know that Yaweh is holding them in His Hands. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

THE POINT OF THE SPEAR


I would pose this question to those who say they walk in My footsteps. When faced with trials and tribulations, when seemingly overwhelming situations come your way, when those you love offend, betray, insult, and condemn, when the point of the spear penetrates your heart, of what do you bleed? Do you respond with bitterness for bitterness? Anger and envy in retaliation? Insults for each injury incurred? Biting remarks for hurtful unsolicited opinions? Do you bleed poisonous responses and remarks as it has been done to you? Or do you exhibit grace, mercy, kindness, compassion, and unconditional love? I realize what I have asked of you in not easy or natural in your physical realm. You must remember however that I am the perfect example in that I have showed you these things, these acts of kindness and mercy that can and must be shown. I came to show you that there is a way. It is My Way. And yes, it is not how you on your own accord would respond. I have called you to be My heirs, My brothers and sisters. I require a life set apart from the world. I have told you time and time again, this world is not your home. In this, I wish that you would find comfort. When you choose to retaliate evil for evil, you only assist in perpetuating the darkness that is encompassing the world. I have called you to be My lights. I have called you to be something different. I have called you to bring about My Kingdom on this earth. Show these lost ones that there is hope, that all is not lost. You, many times, are the only lights they will ever see. Yes, I have allowed their hearts to become hardened, but no one is beyond My mercy and My salvation unless they have pledged allegiance to the dark one. If you truly wish to walk with Me and have prayed to be My disciples, then do not pray selfish prayers. Pray the will of the Father. Pray that I would send tests for you to strengthen and increase your faith. Pray that you would be made strong in Me through these tribulations, do not pray to be removed from them, for it is in these tests that you will grow and mature in your relationship with Me. I speak in My Word of My Way as the narrow way. Following Me will never be easy. Just as I did, you will always have adversity. You must expect this, and prepare your hearts each day in your time alone with Me for these such situations. I will arm you, and equip you. Trust Me in this. And know that when they persecute you, they first persecuted Me. Turning the other cheek is contrary to what the physical mans' response would be. But I am calling you to operate from the spirit, not the flesh. This is so very important. You have also been told in My Word that I came to create division, and it will start in your families. Choosing Me and Me alone will often result in separation from your loved ones. My will is that you would master these principles for the coming ensuing darkness, the darkness that is already upon you. My Way, My Spirit, My Blood, My Sacrifice. It has been accomplished for all time. Realize this, and realize how much My heart has bled unconditional love for each one of you. At the point of the spear, bleed love. 

The Lamb that was slain

John 13:34-35

King James Version (KJV)
34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another


Matthew 7:13-14

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Isaiah 41:10

10 Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.

Isaiah 43:2

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.


John 16:33

33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.


John 15:18-19

18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
19 If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you

Luke 6:29

29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.


Luke 12:51-53

51 Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:
52 For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three.
53 The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.


Proverbs 18:21

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.


James 3

My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.
Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.
18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
