I Told You I Was Going To The Very Root


I Told You I Was Going To The Very Root

Child, I told you that I was going to go to the very root of the heart of your nation, and that I was going to break forth and set My charges against her pillars and structures and that a great demolition would occur so that I could forth bring My renovation process. You are seeing the very beginnings of that phase. I am forcing to the surface every foul thing that is buried deep within your nation’s heart. Every work of darkness shall come into the light. Every evil intention shall be discovered and uncovered. That which has lain comfortably underneath shall now be pressed till it fully emerges and it shall be utterly undone. What I told you was true. I shall have My way, and I shall bring this nation to it’s knees before Me. It is My Day. It is a Significant Time.

You are not to fear, or to be dismayed at what you will see openly displayed. I told you that I was going to the root. I shall leave no stone uncovered. I am going to thoroughly expose, and to thoroughly deal, so that no man can say that they did not know, and that they were deceived. No! For every heart shall know! I know that which lies deep within. I know the truth, and I know the hidden lies. Every heart will see the depth of it’s own depravity, and when My Light shall come, I shall set free all that want Me to set them free. I have come to bring a great liberty!

You are seeing only the first layers beginning to come to the surface, much more shall come, it shall be a great unveiling. It shall then lead to great national travailing, and when you have birthed forth from within, then My new work shall begin. I have heard your prayers. I am answering every one of them. I shall have a People, which are called by My Name, and they shall walk in My Light unashamed. I have yet to reveal all of My Plans, but you must trust Me and know that I Am! I know what I am doing in your midst. I shall bring forth all that is ordained to be. The rest will be cast off as shameful iniquity. Such a dealing shall I do with you, that other nations shall reel with all that I do and reveal. They shall know that I shall also do it with them. It is time for My Harvest to begin!

You must walk even closer to Me. You must cleave to My Word even more. It is time to watch and pray as never before. For I shall rise and I shall roar, and all that is against Me shall be separated forevermore. I have drawn a line, and no darkness shall cross it. No compromisers shall walk it. No liars shall move it. No mockers shall disprove it. I shall arise and I shall bring forth My Justice swiftly. Men shall know that I am He, for they shall come face to face with Me. I am coming. My angels are ready, the charges are set, the explosions shall commence. No more riders sitting on the fence. My demolition has begun. My Hand has come. I shall show you what needs to be done. Set your faces into My Winds and know that it is you that I will send, for I will set your cities on end. Great displays of My Presence and My Power shall burst forth with every falling tower. You will see My Design and wonder at My Signs. For I shall cause all of Mine to understand, and you shall walk hand in hand.

The Rough Cut Stones Vision

The Rough Cut Stones Vision




On Saturday, 6-18-11, while at the Healing Rooms, we were all singing, “Amazing Grace”, at the beginning of the prayer time. As we began to sing the opening verse, I was caught up into a vision. I saw the room we were all in, but everyone was changed into a rough cut stone. A silver platter was suspended in the room and everyone was placed on the platter. Each person was a different colored stone, but their facets hadn’t been defined perfectly yet.  Then I saw flames descend from heaven and each stone was engulfed in a flame on the silver platter. After a period of time, the flames lifted and each stone was brilliantly glowing and had perfect cut facets etched into each one. Then I heard myself singing the last verse of the song, “Amazing Grace”, and the vision ended. I don’t remember singing the middle verse at all.

So, I went and looked up facets cut in stone:

Zechariah 3
1THEN [the guiding angel] showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at Joshua's right hand to be his adversary and to accuse him.  2 And the Lord said to Satan, The Lord rebuke you, O Satan! Even the Lord, Who [now and habitually] chooses Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this [returned captive Joshua] a brand plucked out of the fire? 3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments and was standing before the Angel [of the Lord]. 4 And He spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And He said to [Joshua], Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with rich apparel. 5 And I [Zechariah] said, Let them put a clean turban on his head. So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with [rich] garments. And the Angel of the Lord stood by. 6 And the Angel of the Lord [solemnly and earnestly] protested and affirmed to Joshua, saying, 7 Thus says the Lord of hosts: If you will walk in My ways and keep My charge, then also you shall rule My house and have charge of My courts, and I will give you access [to My presence] and places to walk among these who stand here. 8 Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your colleagues who [usually] sit before you--for they are men who are a sign or omen [types of what is to come]--for behold, I will bring forth My servant the Branch. 9 For behold, upon the stone which I have set before Joshua, upon that one stone are seven eyes or facets [the all-embracing providence of God and the sevenfold radiations of the Spirit of God]. Behold, I will carve upon it its inscription, says the Lord of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity and guilt of this land in a single day. 10 In that day, says the Lord of hosts, you shall invite each man his neighbor under his own vine and his own fig tree.

I Am The Giver Of All Wisdom


I Am The Giver Of All Wisdom

Child, I am the Giver of all Wisdom. I do not need a counselor, for all Council is found within Me. I need not any man teach Me, for I am the teacher of all men. I speak to man in various ways, but in every way, I can be seen, understood, and known. It is man that refuses to see, that refuses to understand, and that refuses to know that I Am. I created the earth for man. I created all things to be in harmony with itself and with each other. But this was severed forever, so the quest for knowledge began, and this has led to the destruction of all that was life, and harmony, and purity, and truth. Such is the result of rejection of Me. This you see all around you. With every generation it progressively worsens and darkens as men plunge themselves into their pursuits and passions instead of towards Me. I have wisdom available to each generation, but few avail themselves to lay hold of Me. This is why you see the severity unfold with each successive day. But this is not Wisdom’s way.

I have called you to not walk according to the ways and manner of this world. I have called you to set your eyes upon Me and upon the things that I have both spoken to you and have shown to you. I have called you to walk with Me. My Wisdom is to be found by you daily as you walk with Me in this earth. My Council shall forever stand, even though the days and years ahead shall increasingly deteriorate as will the hearts and minds of men. But you shall stand in My Council, as shall all that are Mine. You shall know what to do as I deal with the hearts of men, and as I realign. There are many changes ahead. Many things that will cause much fear, but not to those of Mine who draw near. It is a time to walk in My Ways and to walk in My Wisdom. It is a time to delight yourself in your God. For I know all things and I uphold all things. I shall reveal Myself to you each passing day, and you shall surely know that I mean what I say. My Words shall all come to pass.

Great are the days ahead for My People! For I have not only stored up Wisdom for you, but also My Goodness for you. I have stored up My Love for you, and My Provision for you. I have stored up My Strength and My Patience for you, as well as My Purposes. I have everything that you need. I Am everything that you need! I am well able to cause you to inherit the earth, even as this Age passes away, and you shall know what to do everyday. You shall guide many along the way. You are to keep My Faith, to keep My Words, and to keep Covenant with Me with all that you meet and see. For you are My Image to all that you will encounter. You are My hands and My feet in the earth. You are My Body, wholly purchased, and of great worth! I have long desired this hour when My People would not only give birth, but also when I could walk and live through them in full measure! Oh, the Hour of Wisdom has begun, when multitudes shall run across the earth in search of her, but who shall indeed find? Those who sincerely seek My Heart and My Mind! The lowly ones that have learned to surrender to Me, these are the Ones that shall walk victoriously! Oh, how wide and how vast and how deep are the Councils of Mine, opened to the seekers that have learned how to dine. I shall indeed open every seed, and out of My seeds I shall meet every need. Nothing is wasted, nothing is left over, but divinely tailored to each path and to each hand. Watch as I greatly expand across every land. My Hand shall prove, and My Hand shall remove, but My Hand shall also erect and shall re-connect. For I shall remove that which was, and I shall build that which is to be, and men shall see the utter rearranging of their history, and they shall see the unfolding of My Mystery. All things shall pass away as My Councils reveal that which lies even deeper still. To the very depths I will go, and the old foundations shall crumble and tumble as I realign and unfold My New Design.

It shall not be made after the manner of men, for every council of the human heart shall fail. Every plan and plot and scheme will all seem as fleeting as their dreams. Nothing shall stand nor be able to take root, except for that which is grounded and rooted within Me. I am the Sustainer of all things. All life comes forth from within Me and through Me. That which gives birth from My Wisdom shall have eternal and lasting value. That which is birthed from man’s reason and from the human heart shall quickly pass and depart as the earth waxes ever dim and the foundations quake and stumble. I alone shall stand, and so shall those who have placed their trust in Me. For, I, Wisdom give Light and Life to all that lay hold of Me. Trust in Me. Lean not to your plans and ways. Search Me out and walk with Me the length of your days. I shall sustain you and guide you and live through you till the end. Let not your heart be troubled, for you live within My Light, and you were born for the greater Fight. You must strengthen your heart in Me, and know that I am your Liberty. I have come to set men free. Even to the masses this is still a mystery, but no longer, for there is no other salvation but through Me. This shall be very plain as the days ahead go by. For multitudes shall run and seek and cry out, “why?” Every false idol must fall and every hardened heart must be broken, so that My Wisdom, as true bread, can be broken. So shall Wisdom come, to those who seek Me as their life. But to those who reject it, it shall be a very sharp knife! Woe to those who reject My Truth and who scoff at My Wisdom offered to them; for famine of soul and spirit and of the flesh shall follow them. Blessed shall they be, those who sincerely seek and follow after Me, for their eyes shall be opened and they shall walk joyously after Me. I shall manifest My Kingdom through them liberally.

Heavenly Pearls Vision and Experiences 6-11-11




6-10-11 The Heavenly Room of Fire Vision

When we entered the church tonight to get ready for church. I saw that we had stepped into a vast room full of fire. The walls and ceiling, and floors were all burning with fire. I knew that something significant had occurred. We definitely had transitioned into deeper things now as a church.

After worship I saw the Hand of the Lord come down from Heaven and He was holding a massive pearl necklace in His Hands and it was suspended in the midst of all of us. Each pearl was at least 3 feet in circumference wide. We knew that the Lord was extending an invitation to us all to become one of His Pearls.

(The meeting was so powerful and many in the church were repenting and were experiencing great personal breakthroughs and visitations by the Lord. So many are experiencing awesome changes in their lives right now. They are giving personal testimonies of the Presence and Person of God being revealed to them in a deeper way. A vibrant, healthy, burning people are merging right now in our midst. God is so awesome! We all left the church changed even more….)

6-11-11 Jesus In The Winepress Vision

About 2:00 am, we had lain down to go to sleep and as soon as my head rested on my pillow, I felt the Presence of the Lord. I then saw a vision of the Lord and He was stomping grapes in a huge winepress all alone. I was standing at the edge of it looking at Him slowly and steadily mashing the grapes with His feet. He was smiling at me, but He offered no real explanation. I wondered if He was making wine? Maybe the “New Wine” that would come, waiting to be poured out again? The vision ended. So I got up and began to look within the Word for references to times when He stomped grapes alone. I found:

Isaiah 63:1WHO IS this Who comes from Edom, with crimson-stained garments from Bozrah [in Edom]? This One Who is glorious in His apparel, striding triumphantly in the greatness of His might? It is I, [the One] Who speaks in righteousness [proclaiming vindication], mighty to save! 2Why is Your apparel splashed with red, and Your garments like the one who treads in the winepress? 3I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples there was no one with Me. I trod them in My anger and trampled them in My wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon My garments, and I stained all My raiment. 4For the day of vengeance was in My heart, and My year of redemption [the year of My redeemed] has come. 5And I looked, but there was no one to help; I was amazed and appalled that there was no one to uphold [truth and right]. So My own arm brought Me victory, and My wrath upheld Me. 6I trod down the peoples in My anger and made them drink of the cup of My wrath until they were intoxicated, and I spilled their lifeblood upon the earth.

Joel 3:9 Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare war! Stir up the mighty men! Let all the men of war draw near, let them come up. 10 Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, I am strong [a warrior]! 11 Hasten and come, all you nations round about, and assemble yourselves; there You, O Lord, will bring down Your mighty ones (Your warriors). 12 Let the nations bestir themselves and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, for there will I sit to judge all the nations round about. 13 Put in the sickle, for the [vintage] harvest is ripe; come, get down and tread the grapes, for the winepress is full; the vats overflow, for the wickedness [of the peoples] is great. 14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. 15 The sun and the moon are darkened and the stars withdraw their shining. 16 The Lord will thunder and roar from Zion and utter His voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth shall shake; but the Lord will be a refuge for His people and a stronghold to the children of Israel. 17 So shall you know, understand, and realize that I am the Lord your God, dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain. Then shall Jerusalem be holy, and strangers and foreigners [not born into the family of God] shall no more pass through it. 18 And in that day, the mountains shall drip with fresh juice [of the grape] and the hills shall flow with milk; and all the brooks and riverbeds of Judah shall flow with water, and a fountain shall come forth from the house of the Lord and shall water the Valley of Shittim. 19 Egypt shall be a desolation and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness for their violence against the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. 20 But Judah shall remain and be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. 21 And I will cleanse and hold as innocent their blood and avenge it, blood which I have not cleansed, held innocent, and avenged, for the Lord dwells in Zion.

Revelations 19:11 After that I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse [appeared]! The One Who was riding it is called Faithful (Trustworthy, Loyal, Incorruptible, Steady) and True, and He passes judgment and wages war in righteousness (holiness, justice, and uprightness). 12 His eyes [blaze] like a flame of fire, and on His head are many kingly crowns (diadems); and He has a title (name) inscribed which He alone knows or can understand. 13 He is dressed in a robe dyed by dipping in (sprinkled with) blood and the title by which He is called is The Word of God. 14  And the troops of heaven, clothed in fine linen, dazzling and clean, followed Him on white horses. 15 From His mouth goes forth a sharp sword with which He can smite (afflict, strike) the nations; and He will shepherd and control them with a staff (scepter, rod) of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath and indignation of God the All-Ruler (the Almighty, the Omnipotent). 16 And on His garment (robe) and on His thigh He has a name (title) inscribed, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

Jeremiah 25:29 Starting with my own city of Jerusalem, everyone on earth will suffer from war. So there is no way I will let you escape unharmed." 30 The LORD told me to say: From my sacred temple I will roar like thunder, while I trample my people and everyone else as though they were grapes. 31 My voice will be heard everywhere on earth, accusing nations of their crimes and sentencing the guilty to death. CEV

Serious, serious dealings of God with those who will not obey God nor listen to Him.
But great protection and provision is given to those who are His.

The Heavenly Room of Fire- Part 2:

I then laid back down at 3:15 am, and immediately as my head hit the pillow I was in a vision again. This time, I was in the same heavenly fiery room that I saw when we went into the church earlier tonight. I saw myself entering the great massive room that was made of fire. The room was massive, it’s walls were fire, the floor and ceiling was fire, and the fire was running everywhere. The Fire was moving and fanning and flaring and making rushing noises as it burned. It was quite fearsome. I was overwhelmed by the fierceness of this room. I knew I was in the throne room again. In the vision I was about an inch tall in height, and the room was like it was miles big in comparison to me. I literally felt like I was an inch tall, it was so massive. All of a sudden I heard a loud booming voice that spoke and when it did the voice literally shook the fiery room and the flames that burned were stoked up even more. The voice blasted, “Who is it that fears Me? Let him come unto Me.”

All of a sudden, I knelt down and said, “I do, Lord.” The voice thundered, “Come.” So I began crawling towards the front of the room. I really did not know where the front was, but I just started crawling anyways, because all I could see was fire. As I crawled slowly forwards I was shaking because of the flames all around me. I felt them passing over my back as I crawled. I did not get burned, but I felt their intensity. I could not even look up, I only kept crawling and pressing forwards as hard as I could as I inched myself forwards. The closer I got, the fiercer the fires around me got. Once, I looked over to my side as I crawled, and saw the flames rushing up the walls and along the floors. The atmosphere of the room was so intense that I shook even more. I have been to the throne room before, but it was nothing like this. All I knew was that I wanted more. If I perished, I perished. As I approached, I began to hear the faint sounds of the Cherubim wings. I could hear their distinct sound they make as they hovered by the Throne. I could hear the sounds of muffled voices. I also heard something else. At first I did not know what it is, but then, I knew! It was Breath! I heard breathing, not wind blowing. All of a sudden I felt His Breath blow upon me, and when it hit me, I fell apart. I mean, literally. I exploded into a million little particles, or so I thought. All of a sudden, I felt really funny. I  knew instantly that I had changed! I did not know what I was, but I felt different. Then, I heard the Lord say, “Oh, there you are.” He reached down, and I saw His Hand come out of the fire towards me and He picked me up. When He did, I saw myself, I was a beautiful pearl! I was transformed into a pearl! His Breath had changed me! I was shocked! He smiled and looked at me sitting in His Hand.      –Then the vision ended.

I got out of bed again and looked up the word “Breath” and I was amazed that I found scripture that describe the temple, the Lord, the fire around Him, the cherubim, and the breath and the Lord reaching down and picking someone up:

2 Samuel 22:7 "In my distress I called upon the LORD; to my God I called. From his temple he heard my voice, and my cry came to his ears. 8"Then the earth reeled and rocked; the foundations of the heavens trembled and quaked, because he was angry. 9Smoke went up from his nostrils, and devouring fire from his mouth; glowing coals flamed forth from him. 10 He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet. 11He rode on a cherub and flew; he was seen on the wings of the wind. 12 He made darkness around him his canopy, thick clouds, a gathering of water. 13 Out of the brightness before him coals of fire flamed forth. 14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice. 15And he sent out arrows and scattered them; lightning, and routed them. 16Then the channels of the sea were seen; the foundations of the world were laid bare, at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils. 17 "He sent from on high, he took me; he drew me out of many waters. 18He rescued me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me. 19They confronted me in the day of my calamity, but the LORD was my support. 20 He brought me out into a broad place; he rescued me, because he delighted in me.

So then I looked up the phrase, “Come Unto Me.” I found:

Matthew 11:27All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

Matthew 19:14But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

John 6:64But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. 65And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. 66From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

John 7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

The scriptures above did not have the fire in them, but He did say “Come unto Me”, and they did talk about heaven.

Then I looked up scriptures on the Pearl:

Matthew 13:45Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: 46Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it.

Revelations 21:9 Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last troubles came to me, saying, "Come with me, and I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."10 And the angel carried me away by the Spirit to a very large and high mountain. He showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.11 It was shining with the glory of God and was bright like a very expensive jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. 12 The city had a great high wall with twelve gates with twelve angels at the gates, and on each gate was written the name of one of the twelve tribes of Israel.
21 The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate having been made from a single pearl. And the street of the city was made of pure gold as clear as glass. 22 I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the city's temple. 23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, because the glory of God is its light, and the Lamb is the city's lamp.24 By its light the people of the world will walk, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it.25 The city's gates will never be shut on any day, because there is no night there.26 The glory and the honor of the nations will be brought into it.27 Nothing unclean and no one who does shameful things or tells lies will ever go into it. Only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life will enter the city.

The above scriptures mention the walls, the light or fire that comes from God, the pearl, the ones that enter into it.

Proverbs 25:11-13   1899 Douay Rheims Version
11 To speak a word in due time, is like apples of gold on beds of silver. 12 As an earring of gold and a bright pearl, so is he that reproveth the wise, and the obedient ear. 13 As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to him that sent him, for he refresheth his soul.

We are also likened as unto being a pearl ourselves, if we faithfully speak forth His Words to those we are sent to, so that they hear the truth and are saved by it. We must fear the Lord and come unto Him. We must love Him more and be faithful.

Well, here we go again……as I laid down, the Lord spoke to me and asked me, “Do you understand the significance of your sleeping in your living room these past 3 nights?” (Patrick and I had inflated our airbed and had slept in the living room because it was so hot out lately and our little air conditioner could not keep up in our apartment). I thought, well, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday- the 1st and 2nd night it was too hot in our bedroom and the 3rd night, I was just too tired to deflate it and put it away. The Lord said, “Yes. You slept in here because it was hot in your bedroom, but it is also hot in My ‘Living Room’ too.” -Then I got it!!!  He even uses these simple things to speak to us of His Greater Things!  -Finished at 5:11 am…for now….
So then, just when I thought it was safe to go to sleep, the Lord interrupted me with a final statement….He said to me, “What day did it become unbearably hot for you?” I said, “Wednesday.” The Lord said, “Yes. What was Wednesday?” I thought, “Oh, it was Pentecost.” The Lord said, Exactly, when My Fire fell.” Glory!!!!!!!  Friday night was the third night of Pentecost…….
Lord, you are so awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! -Susan I give up writing what time it is now……to be continued……..guaranteed!!!


Paul said in Colossians 2:16-17 that the Jewish feasts and celebrations were a shadow of the things to come through Jesus Christ. And though as Christians we may not commemorate these holidays in the traditional biblical sense, as we discover the significance of each, we will certainly gain a greater knowledge of God's Word, an improved understanding of the Bible, and a deeper relationship with the Lord.
Pentecost - Shavuot - Feast of Weeks: Pentecost or Shavuot has many names in the Bible (the Feast of Weeks, the Feast of Harvest, and the Latter First fruits). Celebrated on the fiftieth day after Passover, Shavuot is traditionally a joyous time of giving thanks and presenting offerings for the new grain of the summer wheat harvest in Israel. The name "Feast of Weeks" was given because God commanded the Jews in Leviticus 23:15-16, to count seven full weeks (or 49 days) beginning on the second day of Passover, and then present offerings of new grain to the Lord as a lasting ordinance.

Shavuot was originally a festival for expressing thankfulness to the Lord for the blessing of the harvest. And because it occurred at the conclusion of the Passover, it acquired the name "Latter First-fruits." The celebration is also tied to the giving of the Ten Commandments and thus bears the name Matin Torah or "giving of the Law." Jews believe that it was exactly at this time that God gave the Torah to the people through Moses on Mount Sinai.

Time of Observance: Pentecost is celebrated on the fiftieth day after Passover, or the sixth day of the Hebrew month of Sivan (May or June). • See Bible Feasts Calendar for the actual dates of Pentecost.

Scripture Reference: The observance of the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost is recorded in the Old Testament in Exodus 34:22, Leviticus 23:15-22, Deuteronomy 16:16, 2 Chronicles 8:13 and Ezekiel 1. Some of the most exciting events in the New Testament revolve around the Day of Pentecost in the book of Acts, chapter 2. Pentecost is also mentioned in Acts 20:16, 1 Corinthians 16:8 and James 1:18.

Jesus and Pentecost: In Acts 1, just before the resurrected Jesus is taken up into heaven, he tells the disciples about the Father's promised gift of the Holy Spirit, which will soon be given to them in the form of a powerful baptism. He tells them to wait in Jerusalem until they receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, which will empower them to go out into the world and be his witnesses.

A few days later, on the Day of Pentecost, the disciples are all together when the sound of a mighty wind comes down from heaven, with tongues of fire resting on them. The Bible says, "All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them." The crowds observed this event and heard them speaking in different languages. They were amazed and thought the disciples were drunk on wine. Then Peter got up and preached the Good News of the kingdom and 3000 people accepted the message of Christ! That same day they were baptized and added to the family of God.
The book of Acts continues to record the miraculous outpouring of the Holy Spirit that began on Pentecost.

Once again we see the Old Testament revealing a shadow of the things to come through Christ! After Moses went up to Mount Sinai, the Word of God was given to the Israelites at Shavuot. When the Jews accepted the Torah, they became servants of God. Similarly, after Jesus went up to heaven, the Holy Spirit was given at Pentecost. When the disciples received the gift, they became witnesses for Christ. Jews celebrated a joyous harvest on Shavuot, and the church celebrated a harvest of newborn souls on Pentecost.


Jewish holidays 2000–2050 (Interesting, because Bob Jones gave a 100 year prophecy that goes till 2050.)



I laid back down after writing all of this above, and it was 6:00 am.

The Lord then showed me the vision of the pearl again. I was still in His Hand and I saw Him then reach over and open a very beautiful carved chest that was sitting near His throne. He then placed me within the chest. Inside the chest were multitudes of other pearls. We were all resting in the chest. He smiled and placed His Hand on top the chest. –The end.

So I got up at 6:11 am to write this last entry into this journal…………

Exodus 19:5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine;

Deuteronomy 7:6 "For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

Malachi 3:17And they shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, in that day when I (act) publicly recognize and openly declare them to be My jewels (My special possession, My peculiar treasure). And I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him.

1 Peter 2:9  But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own (treasured) possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

When I Speak My Word, It is To Be More Than Just Heard

When I Speak My Word, It is To Be More Than Just Heard!

When I speak My Word, it is to be more than just heard. When I speak a Word to My People it is because I am addressing something of importance to them and I want their full attention. But most do not pay attention to My Word beyond just reading it or hearing it. When I speak, I expect My Communication to be not only heard, but also to be understood and to be fully responded to. I expect a response from My People. I expect an adherence to My Words! But most do not go beyond hearing, they do not move into responding or adhering. This must change! I do not speak to you for My benefit. I speak to you, for your benefit! I speak to you to help you, to guide you, to instruct you, and to relate to you. I watch over My Word to perform it. I watch over it, but not much of it gets performed in My People’s lives because they do not engage the Word I give to them, nor do they live by it. I cannot override your wills. I will not override your wills! I want your hearts! If I do not take the primary position within your hearts, then My Word cannot be planted within it, nor can the Word that should be sown deep in it, become full grown. So, unfruitful lives and leanness of souls are the result. I do not take pleasure in your leanness or in the barrenness in My People! I do not take pleasure in My Words being casually dismissed and treated as familiar to those who receive them! My Words should be new to you everyday, fresh from My Mouth! But you discount them continually and do not walk or live by them!

There shall not be a barren Word within the lives of My People! My Word is alive, and it is not barren, but it is vital and it is full of Me! This cannot continue to be! I am angry with My People that so casually treat Me, and treat My Word casually and even flippantly and as an after thought in their busy days. Do they not know that My Word shall judge them in the end? My Word has a voice, and it speaks eternally. When you refuse it or misuse it, then you shall reap from that choice. I desire that My People would be Lovers of the Truth. I desire that you would live by My Truth, and not by what deem to be the truth for you. Much around you is not the truth, but only the truth that you have erected around you, the truth that you love more than Me. I am going to bring down every false wall of lies that has been disguised! I want you to see the error of your ways, because I want to bring Truth and Life to you and to your walks with Me. So, watch for My Word to now make things clear!

Children, take heed to My Words, for they are your life! I feed you everyday. But you do not always listen, and you do not think that they are for you, but for someone else. The things that I speak to you are for you to apply to your own life first, and then they are for others to also eat. When I speak, I feed My People the same food, not strange food. I do not soften My Words just for you when I speak. I speak what is in My Heart to you. I want you to realize that when I speak it comes from My Heart to yours. You are to treat Me as Holy and as Vital to your life! How you treat My Word is how you treat Me, for I am the Word. When you refuse to hear My Word, or to accept it or to live by it, then you are also denying Me entrance into that area of your life. You cannot walk with Me and also reject Me. Repent, for I shall not always strive with you and continue to call out to you! I want you to live with Me fully and to know Me! I am My Word, and I cannot be separated from it. If you reject a portion of My Word, then you are rejecting Me. This cannot be! Believe in Me!

Embrace My Words as they come to you. Seek My Face for the meaning within My Words that are given to you, for I will show you what to do. I will reveal My Will to you. I will make Myself plain to you. My Word is only hidden from the proud and from the wise in their own eyes, but even a child can clearly understand it. Do not think that you are exempt from My Word? For even Creation and the Heavens itself are subject to My Word. All things were created by My spoken Word and all things are still being upheld by Me today. I cannot, and I will not fail you either. You must learn to trust Me when I speak to you, and let My Words go deeper into you. Eat them, think on them, search them out, and then know Me within them. Then you shall live by them. My Words are Life to those that find them. I desire to raise you up even higher- Higher in understanding and larger in wisdom for the days ahead. But I cannot, if you will not even live by them today. You must walk with Me everyday. Then I can bring you into My High and Holy Way where you shall abound even as you walk on troubled grounds. I tell you that Great Troublous Days are just ahead. Do not continue to think with your head, and try to plan and plot your course by your own reasoning and by earthly preparations. But seek that which is Higher, and you will know that what I require, and what you should do as the days unfold all around you. I have a detailed plan for your life.

Eat My Words that come from My Mouth. You must understand that which I am saying to you. You must embrace Me and know that I see your hearts intent. I see you when you turn away because you are too busy, or when it is not what you want to hear. Child, I see it. I know your heart better than you! Turn around now! Embrace Me now! Reach out to Me now, and know that I can quickly restore to you even more! I want YOU! I want you to make Me a priority in your life above the other things that you do. You must not use My Word as a second opinion rather than a final solution for you, because if you do, then you truly do not want to change within. My Word must be final in your life. You must fear My Word and have a respect for it, just as you must fear me and have a respect for Me, for I am the Word. When you disregard My Word, then you are disregarding Me. I will not allow this to continue to be reality, if you are truly going to be walking with Me. Know that I am going to bring troublous times to the earth.

In troublous times, many things will give birth. The first thing that gives birth is the deep wickedness that lies within men’s hearts. For when I trouble them, then that which is darkness and is comfortable and is secure within men begins to be troubled and it manifests in reaction to My Hand dealing with it. Prepare yourselves for the deep hidden things within to burst forth on the scenes! For that which truly lies in the hearts will begin to be forced to the surface and so that your eyes will know the truth. I do not want My people to die in their sins and to live unfulfilled lives because they only walk in disguise. No, a great revealing and deep heart disclosures will be widespread in the days ahead! Troublous days will birth forth the deep roots that have hindered you, and hindered your families, and even hindered your nations, and yes, even the earth itself. Oh yes, I am going to the very depths, for I want to bring healing but it can only come forth in the revealing! So My Word will go very deep and bring to full fruition the Works I sent it forth to do.

Know also that My Word will also reveal all that love it still! In these shall I thoroughly delight! In these shall My Hand save and I shall strengthen and bless in the greater fight! I shall stand guard over those that heed My Words and that love them more than their lives. I shall be their Life! Know that My Word brings down and it also raises up in the earth. I shall quickly raise up those that live by My Words so that they can be a Standard in the earth, as those that must go through the troubles give birth. I am faithful to My Word, and I am also faithful to those that will cry out to Me. I shall answer those that cry out sincerely. I shall not hide from those in whose hearts My Word abides. No, I shall rise up quickly, and ride! I shall mount up and shall move in response to their prayers! I am the God that does indeed care! But I shall also respond only to that which is in line with Me, so check your hearts in all sincerity and look and see if you are in the faith. See if you indeed believe in Me. You must believe that I Am, and that I and My Word agree! Step out My Words with Me, and you shall see the things that I see and you shall understand the fullness of My Plans for you. For My Word has already been spoken to you. My Word is at work in the earth. But you alone will choose how you will participate, and you will decide what will be your manner of birth!

I am indeed removing the veil, but will you be among those that will truly prevail?

A Full Separation Is Coming

A Full Separation Is Coming

This morning before waking up, I had a series of short dreams but all in a recurring theme and sequence. The Lord speaks to us in dreams and He often uses our pasts or present lives as examples of what He desires to do in us now. I pray this will help many of you who are going through this process in your lives right now, or who are about to. For the Lord is doing it now.

In one scene, I was with others in a very large building, it was like a big warehouse or business park type setting. There were various things going on in many sections. But in the one section that I was in, as i was leaving, I saw the people that I used to be a part of years ago in ministry. (I havent been a part of them for years.) I saw them gather around a table getting ready for a staff meeting or such. I saw one of them that I knew and she had an empty seat next to her, so I said great, I will go and sit next to her. When I did, she interrupted me and said, this seat is for xxxxxxx. Immediately the other person then appeared and sat down. I was shocked that there was no seat for me. So I gathered my things and left.

Another scene was I was outside of a town and I was driving a van that was a conversion van. It had blue and white stripes and it was similar to one I had years ago in MN before I moved to New York. Anyways, I had pulled over to the side of the road and had walked over to talk to someone on the other side of the road. As we were talking I looked back over to where the van was, and it was gone. I could not find it anywhere. No one took it, it was just gone.

The Lord spoke to me regarding these dreams, and it is a message for His People:

"It is time for a full removal of all that still lingers in your lives that is causing you to look backwards, or that causes you to try to bring what is finished in your life into the future of what I have for you. I will not allow anything that is dead to be resurrected or to be added to that which you shall enter into. What I did within you in the past was only to make you into who you are today. It is not for you to try to isolate it and to hang onto it. I have told My People so many times to let go of their pasts, to let go of their former works, and to crucify their fleshly desires. But most have not obeyed Me. So I will begin removing them from them. I will utterly remove all that is not to remain."

"For some this will cause great pain, but this shall show you how much of your heart was attached to it, and how this has caused you to miss My will for you. You will then understand what I require for you to fully walk out My Plan for your life. I require everything."

"For others, this will bring complete joy to you, for you will finally be free of the old memories and thoughts that have plagued you even though you tried to remove them and couldn't. I will do it for you. You will understand this is My Grace to you in this and you will rejoice."

"I am going to utterly sweep all of your closets in your lives, and the chambers within your hearts, and your basements, and your secrets, and everything. I want you to be totally free to walk with Me. I want a full commitment from you, with nothing attached to you or within you. I want all of you. This is all a part of the work of My Great Scissors Vision that I gave to you. I am going to do a very thorough and complete realignment of everything, so that when I am done, I will see Myself within you and your life. Do not try to look for that which I will remove. For it will be gone. Rejoice instead that I have made you free. It’s time to move on with Me."

"Today is the Day of Total and Complete Liberty for those that will embrace Me in it."

The Great Scissors From Heaven

The Great Scissors From Heaven 6-6-11


Today while we were relaxing outside with a friend in the summer sunshine in our apartment’s pool, I saw a vision of a great pair of heavenly scissors come down and a large hand was holding them. The scissors began to rapidly snip and cut like a whirlwind all over America. It was cutting so fiercely and so rapidly that our nation looked like a great cloth and the scissors was swiftly cutting it up into small squares and pieces of fabric. Its work was so strong that I was shocked, because the scissors wasn’t being gentle about it, but it was being very precise in each cut.

As I watched, I noticed that many angels then came down and gathered above the giant hand that was cutting up the fabric of our nation. The other angels waited, and as the fabric pieces flew into the air from the cutting process, the angels caught them and took them and began to sew them into patterns and blocks. Then other angels took those completed pieces and sewed them into larger whole sections. As soon as the giant hand and scissors had completed its task of cutting up the entire fabric of our nation, it went back to heaven. The other angels remained sewing the pieces that were left and added them to each others parts. Soon, the entire fabric they were working on was finished.

Then the giant hand came back down from heaven and took the completed fabric from the angels and shook it gently so that it spread out, then the hand lowered it back down gently to rest upon our nation, covering it completely. Then the giant hand pointed downward towards the fabric as if it wanted me to see something. So then I found myself suspended above the nation. When I looked down, I could see that our entire nation’s fabric had been transformed and all I could see was Jesus face in the tapestry below me. Every thing within our nation had been re-positioned in such a way that when we were re-fitted, we fully reflected Him. We had been thoroughly renovated and were rewoven into a beautiful workmanship. Then the hand left and the angels were all in awe at what the Lord had made.

Then Jesus spoke to me. He said, “I have shown you in many visions and what I have told you in many words, are all things that will be accomplished in your land. Many think that what I will do will not happen to them, but only to others, and in other areas. But know this, that I require absolute change in order for you to be fully transformed. It is no less for any individual, or city, or nation on the earth, for all of the earth is Mine. What I require is all of your heart and not just partial or false devotion. Every persona and every land will choose if they will walk with Me or not. It is time for great change. So I have begun to rearrange across the globe.”

“Many do not realize that I mean what I say, or that I mean what I say I will do. In this vision, I am showing you that I am not only going to deal with your nations heart as a whole, I am also going to bring utter change and I am going to re-weave or re-build your nations very fiber or the fabric of it’s being. I demand change if your nation will be called by My Name. No more can darkness abide in what is Mine! Either you will be full of darkness or you will be full of light! At this time, when I look upon your nation I only see your pride and your desires, and your strength, and your accomplishments. I do not see My Face reflected within you as a whole anymore. There are some areas that are reflecting Me in various measures, for they have sought Me. But even this cannot remain as it is. So, I shall increase the national dismantling of your fiber and very fabric to bring forth a new revelation to you. In this process, I shall re-align your national sight and then I can begin to re-work that which must be changed, so that when I am done, I can see Myself within you and within your nations very being and core. It is time to get used to being uprooted and to be more yieldable and fully supple in My Hands.”

“I told you the Season of Stretching had begun. I warned you all to let go of things, so that I could bring forth more of My Life into yours. Now, it unfolds more. I shall greatly magnify the process and it shall accelerate, but with every precise cut I make, know that it is in My Plan for you, and that I will complete that which I have begun. You must trust in Me, that I know what I am doing concerning you and also in your nation. Remember, that when you can surrender to Me fully through it all, you will fit right into that which will come forth when I am finished. You will be filled with such a Joy and Liberty that you will be grateful that I did it in this manner, for this is My Grace to your nation. This process has already begun. I have shown you in so many ways that I am at work. I will not stay My Hand in any land, until I am finished for this must come, for the sake of My Harvest that must be brought in. You know what to do. Strengthen the brethren, and determine to stand, for My Scissors are in My Hand.”

Fishing With The Master - Parts 1 & 2

1-20-10

Thought you all would enjoy my visionary experience with Jesus earlier today. It is still so real, it is burned into my memory forever. It was more than a vision. It was an encounter. I love it when I am where reality truly is with Him! God is so awesome. He loves to make His Word alive to us and through us!

-Susan


“Fishing With The Master”

The air was warm and inviting. It was so surreal, listening to the water gently lapping at the boat as I leaned against the side of the railing. I could feel the wind gently brushing my face and I smiled as I felt it’s sweet embrace. The water made lapping sounds as it gently sucked at my feet in the bottom of the boat. I wriggled my toes in my sandals and the water ran between my toes as it gently poured up and over my toes and then around my feet. “It was good to be here again,” I smilingly thought to myself.

I felt a gentle tugging, and my attention was abruptly brought back to my task in front of me. I looked and I had a fishing pole in my hand. It was not mine, but a borrowed pole. There were many poles lying unused at one end of the boat, and I had been given this one to use. It was long and slender with many carved joints placed at various intervals in the tan pale shaft. I was gazing at the pole when I suddenly felt another jerk on my pole. I jumped and sat upright and shook my head fully alert.

Jesus was laughing at me. I looked at my pole and there was a fish on my pole! I was so astounded that I gasped and I fumbled to pull it in. Awkwardly at first, I jerked the line and slowly I methodically started to pull it in. As I drew the line in, I could feel the weight of the fish as it tugged resistingly at the end of my pole. Excitement stirred within me as I felt the shiver of a thrill of having caught this wonder. I laughed with joy at the feeling of awe, at this unexpected moment and the rush of anticipation swept through me over the new catch for the day!

Jesus laughed even more. I looked over at Him and He was so full of joy watching me and my bumbling progress. He seemed to be enjoying me more than my first catch! His beard was gently moving as he laughed and the breeze caught it just so, so that you could see the gold’s and the brown’s light up his face when the sun’s rays caught them in their light. His eyes twinkled at me and he was enjoying both my awkwardness and my wonder. I then laughed with him and relaxed. He then pointed towards my pole.

I looked back at my pole, and I quickly caught myself for not paying attention to my task at hand. I reached down and began to hurriedly pull the line in more. I was getting wet as I did, and the water was running down into my sleeves. I hurriedly pulled my sleeves up jerkily and grasped the pole even tighter. Soon, I could hear the splashing of the fish as it neared the surface of the water and I quickly leaned forwards to get a better grip on the boat. I brushed my knee on the seat and slid my arm over the side of the boat.

Out in the water ahead of me was a splashing frenzy. I pulled the line in more and began to see the head of the fish as it emerged from the water. I t was a big fish. It was a fighting and tugging at my line with all it’s might. A thrill shot through me as I watched it’s chaotic approach, and I shrieked with delight. For a moment I didn’t know what to do next. But then, I gasped, and oh, oh yes, I remember. I grabbed my net. I reached for my net and lowered it under the fish. I was getting all wet as I brought the fish in further into the boat. It was splashing me and my tunic and my hair. But, I was determined not to lose this fish!

With all of my strength, I gripped the net firmly and pulled the fish onto the ledge of the boat. I then gripped the side of the boat with my other hand and jerked the net over the side of the boat fully into the bottom of the boat. I sat down heaving and gasping with triumph and shrieked with delight at my catch. Jesus eyes were twinkling and he was grinning with his hands raised. The sun was shining behind him and as I looked at him, it looked like the sun was radiating all the way through him. I gasped at the glory of him. He smiled and said, “Let’s see what you have caught.”

I jerked back to my self, and looked down. “Oh, Yes”, I said, fumbling. I looked down and saw that I had caught a big round flat fish. It was heaving and jerking in the bottom of the boat. It was brownish and flat and had silvery grey scales and it had bulging eyes and pinkish gills. Some of the scales shimmered with pinks as the sun caught the silvery scales in it’s light. There were spots on the fishes scales here and there and it had scars on it’s body. It was very large and it protested wildly at it’s being taken from the water. Jesus reached over and took it from the net and he lifted it up into the air to look at it. It flopped around suspended on the line. Then it suddenly relaxed and it rested. I gasped, and wondered, “How can a fish rest on the line out of the water?” Jesus smiled.

Jesus then said to me, “Take it off of the line.” I reached up and took the fish. I slowly opened it’s mouth to remove it and I was shocked to see that another fish was inside of it’s mouth. This big fish had eaten another smaller fish and I had pulled them both in together on one line! I laid the big fish down in the boat. I took the other fish out of the larger fish’s mouth. The smaller fish was just like the bigger fish but it was more colorful. The bigger fish must have watched the other fish bite my line and then the bigger fish swallowed the other fish. So I got double for my effort. “What a bonus!” I thought.

I reached out and began to take the other fish off of the line and as I opened it’s mouth, the same thing happened again! There was another fish inside of this fish! I was shocked. My mind reeled. I looked at Jesus. He was intently watching me. His eyebrow was raised and He was waiting on me. I looked back at my fish. I gulped and shaking I slowly took it off of my line. This next smaller fish was a different type of fish. It was a long slender fish with pink scales and a silver body. It’s scales gleamed in the sunlight. It has small white gills and sharp little spine things on it’s head. It’s eyes were looking at me. I gingerly took it and began to remove it from the line. I opened it’s mouth, and underneath it was a really small fish! I couldn’t believe it! This could not be real! “I must be dreaming”, I said. This little fish was a light reddish color with tan and whitish scales and pinkish gills. It was thrashing wildly under my fingers. It did not want to let go of my line. It was a feisty little fish.

I tightened my grip on it and opened it’s little mouth with my finger and pulled at my line. Out of it’s mouth popped my line. On the end of my line was a small bright light. It was brilliant and it flashed radiantly in the sunlight. I was astounded at it’s glorious brilliance. I reached out and took the line in my hand and I held the light in my hand. It was a living, swirling light. It looked like it was dancing in my hand. I looked at it and all of a sudden, I remembered! I had seen this before! I looked up and there was Jesus sitting in the boat, leaning towards me. He was watching me intently. The sun was still streaming from behind him, and it seemed to radiate all the way through him again! “This was the same light that was on my pole!” I thought, stunned!

He then reached out and took the pole from me. He smilingly took my hands into His and He looked deeply into My eyes and said, “I have many, many fish. I know where every one of them are. I know how and when to catch each one of them. But what is really important to me are my fishers. You asked me to teach you to fish for men. I am here to teach you to fish. You are to fish with Me. I am the Light that draws all men. It is My Light within you, and My Life and Presence emanating from you, that will draw those that are destined to be Mine.
It is with Me that you will cast forth your line.”

The Vision ended.

Matthew 4:18While walking by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19And he said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." 20Immediately they left their nets and followed him.

Mark 1:16 Passing alongside the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 17And Jesus said to them, "Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men." 18And immediately they left their nets and followed him. 19And going on a little farther, he saw James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, who were in their boat mending the nets. 20And immediately he called them, and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants and followed him.

Luke 5:2 and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. 4And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch." 5And Simon answered, "Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets." 6And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking. 7They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord." 9For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, 10and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men." 11And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.

John 1:
40 One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. 41He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which means Christ). 42He brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "So you are Simon the son of John? You shall be called Cephas" (which means Peter).

Matthew 16:18And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

1 Corinthians 1:12What I mean is that each one of you says, "I follow Paul," or "I follow Apollos," or "I follow Cephas," or "I follow Christ."

1 Corinthians 3:22whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or the present or the future—all are yours,

1 Corinthians 3:4For when one says, "I follow Paul," and another, "I follow Apollos," are you not being merely human?

Matthew 23:9And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven. 10Neither be called instructors, for you have one instructor, the Christ.

Matthew 13:47"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind.

“Fishing With The Master – Part 2”

The afternoon air was sultry and unbearably hot. I shifted uncomfortably on my seat trying to find a position that was less irritating, but could find none, so I finally gave up and sulked. Why was the weather so unbearable so early in the season? I mused. Alone in my thoughts, I winced as my thoughts drifted back to this morning. Surely there had to come a break in this soon, day after day, nothing gave way. The same result. No catch. No harvest. No good news to stir our hearts. Only work and heat and endless waiting, I thought. “Do you really want change?” I jerked at the sound of His voice. I sat up and blinked. I felt very foolish suddenly as I realized that the Lord read my thoughts. He only looked at me evenly, as He sat opposite me in the boat. I swallowed and said, “Yes, Lord. I do want things to change. It is tiring to fish all day and all night and not ever catch anything of merit.” He nodded and looked out at the sea. My eyes followed His. I scanned the sea but I could not see anything different than before. The waters were just as still. The air was just as hot and stifling. The day was just as long. There seemed to be no movement anywhere. The Lord just smiled and continued to look out at the sea.

I shifted in my seat and lifted up some trying to get some relief for my body as I had been sitting in this position for some time. My tunic stuck to me and I picked at it frustratingly trying to pull it away but it was no use, the damp air was in everything. This added to my misery even more, so I sat down again. I rested my pole on the edge of the boat and crossed my arms. I looked at the Lord who seemed so relaxed, that I suddenly sat up and asked, “Lord doesn’t it bother you that we have caught nothing?” He did not look at me, but He only said, “No.” I was shocked. I thought to myself, “He was the one that said we were to go fishing today. He was the one that said let’s go out in the sea. Follow Me, and I will teach you to fish for men. Now, here we are and no fish to be found!” I fumed. I fell silent. There was nothing to say. He didn’t care.

The Lord then turned around and looked at Me. His eyes flashed, and He sat upright in front of Me. He said, “I never said I didn’t care. I do care! I have always cared! But I have to wait until the fishing becomes more about Me, than it is about you. I have to wait until you finally realize that you cannot catch anything without Me. So, I have to wait until you understand that the harvest isn’t about you, or even about what you can or cannot do. It is about Me! I am the One that sets men free! I allow the adversity to burn pride out of you. For I cannot trust you until you are burned out and poured out, then I can fill you anew and finally use you. Many of My People make the mistake thinking that just because I call them into My boats with Me to fish upon My Sea, that it is about them, about their abilities and that I can’t bring in My catch without them. Every fisherman that I have ever called has had to be brought to the end of themselves, before I could ever show them where I have hidden My Folds. I have Great Folds hidden from men, for I know that which lies within deep them. I know the nature that lies within their hearts that has not fully died and that will seek to rise up even more in the end. So, I must wait till you have expended yourself fully and have wrought all of your works and have spent all of your wisdom. Then I can begin a great work. Such is the hour you now have come to. You are at the Helm of Great Change.”

“The Helm of Great Change?” I thought. “Yes,” the Lord said. I have allowed your catches to remain small so that you would seek after Me with all of your beings. Your whole desire must be for me and upon Me and not upon that which you will do for Me. When you desire what you can do for Me, more than you are desiring Me, then I cannot use you. I will not trust that which is precious to Me, to those who do not truly love Me.” This really hurt me to hear the Lord say this to me. I said, “Lord, you know that I love you, that I desire you, and that I do seek after you.” The Lord nodded, and said, “Yes, you do. But know that I am showing you something deeper here. Unless you are willing to fully die, to come to the complete and total end of who you are, then you cannot be Me to those I will send you to. You will not be able to draw them into My Nets. You will not be able to pull them into My Boats. I am the only One that draws men to Myself, but if I am not fully abiding and living within you, then I cannot draw men as I should. So, I have to wait till the process is complete. This is how much I love My People. This is how much I care about the lost and the broken. I will not bring them all in, until My Fishers are complete.”

“I am showing you this principle in this manner, because My People must understand that My delay is not due to My not caring, or about My not being able to do something about the world’s situations. It is more due to the lack of readiness and maturity in My Vessels. You are not ready. I have had to wait for you. So My Harvest waits. But it cannot wait anymore. The Hour is very late! The Waters shall roughen soon. I must quickly bring in the Catch before they are lost in the storms that will shortly come. You must rise up quickly now. I have waited till you were thoroughly frustrated and spent from your labors. I had to wait while you lost sight on the reason why you got in the boat with Me in the first place. Do you know why you forgot the reason why you are here?” I swallowed hard, and said no. He said, “It is because you took your eyes off of Me, and looked at yourself. When you do this, then you will think that you can fish without My help, you will then not know where to fish, so you will always bring in little.”

“This is why My Church is not bearing much fruit. They have taken their eyes off of Me. They have lost their passion for souls and for the broken and have become prideful of their abilities to fish, and of their techniques and their equipment instead. It is time to put these things aside, and to get My Heart. Then My real Fishing can truly start! I brought you here again to show you what I am about to do. It is time for a New Line to be drawn. It is Time for a New Net to be weaved. It is Time for a New Line of Sight to be established. It begins now.” He then stood straight up, and He walked over to the other side of the boat. “Come here,” He said. I got up slowly, stiffly. I walked over to His side and He pointed out to sea. My eyes followed His fingers. I strained to see what He was pointing at, but I could only see endless sea. There was nothing but water as far as the eyes can see. “Precisely,” the Lord said. “That is how vast My Mystery is. My Harvest, that I have patiently labored over and that I have brooded over all these years. I have nurtured every one. I know each fish by name. I know where each one is in My vast Sea of Humanity. I have tended to each of them lovingly. But I will not allow them to be brought in if they will not be loved and tended to as Me,” He said this angrily. I was taken aback by His anger and fervor.

His eyes flashed as He looked squarely at me. “I love My People. I died for all men. I will not bring them in only to be put to death at the hands of men again. No more! I will not bring them ashore! I asked you if you wanted change. I am asking this of all of My Church. Unless you are willing to change and to die to your desires, and to give birth to Mine, then I will not trust you with the New Wine. I will not pour out My Holy Oil on that which will only devour and spoil! I will bring sudden and intense change in this hour! For My Harvest can no longer wait in the Folds. I must bring them in to My House while it is still Day. So what I will now do, I will do suddenly and without reservation. A swift work will I now commence and I will initiate a new course correction that will test every heart. Only those which are wholly devoted to me, will take their seat in My Boats with Me. All else will sink in the coming storms and their vast shipwrecks will become the new norm. For I shall thoroughly cleanse My Threshing Floors, for great will be the Catch, so Great it shall be, that every Fisher will have to Fish as One Man in My Hand! Only as One Man in My Hand can the Fishing be now done. I am calling for My Fishers to come. I shall test everyone. Then the Great Fishing can begin, and My Vast Storehouse will be full again.”

“I have tested and have tried you, and I have brought you here, because I have planned for you to live more abundantly in Me and to learn to fish in My New Waters. What you used to fish in no longer produces. That Season is over. My People keep trying to do that which has passed away. They must get New Manna from Me each day, to be able to transition into the next day. I am not just moving in stages anymore. I have begun to flow. You must know My Flow. That is where you will find the Fish. Not in what you know! It is found in Me, in My Flow, of where I Am! Look out and see what I see.” I followed His fingers again with my eyes, and tried to focus very intently on the waters. At first, I still could not see anything different. But as I continued to look, I began to see a slight stirring. It was like little ripples began to form. Then bigger ripples. Soon, yes, I could see movement beneath the waters. There! I saw a flash! Something moved! Suddenly, the waters began to shake. Then the waters exploded before my eyes and fish were jumping everywhere! Multitudes were teeming all around the boat. I was so stirred, I could only weep. Jesus put His arm on my shoulder and said, “When you look with your heart, and not with your head, then you can see My Harvest and it will not be dead.”

“But anytime you are in your head, then to you My Harvest is dead, and the Seas will only be still with no fruit for all of your labors. There shall be no Vision within those who have not My Heart. Without a Vision My People perish. I will not entrust My Harvest to a People without My Heart or without My Vision. So when you truly look and see as I see, then you know where to cast your nets and you know where to drop your poles and you know where to turn your Helms, as you move with Me. To you I can trust My Rich Bounty. I told you in My Word that if you followed Me, I would teach you to fish for men. You cannot learn to fish as I fish from other men. You learn to follow Me, as you see others follow Me, but I am the Master, and I draw all men unto Me. I will draw them to Me through you, if you will be sincere and keep your heart’s focus clear. It is time that I become the Head again. The Time to drop your nets has come. A quick work shall now be done. My Fishers shall assemble one by one, and then together, a great work shall be done.”

“Reach out your hand,” the Lord said to me. I put out my right hand towards the water, and suddenly a fish jumped up out of the water and right into my hand. I shrieked with surprise and held the fish apprehensively. Jesus laughed, and said, “Did you do this?” I shook my head no. He said, “I did it. I placed the knowledge within all things of Me. This fish is ordained to be caught by you. That is why it came at this time. It is time. It is not so much about you as it is about Me. It was drawn to Me within you. When I became greater than you, inside of you, then they knew what to do, they will came to you. It is that simple. The more that I grow within you, the greater the flow that will be drawn to Me within you. It will come to Me, because I have become in you, the greater Reality. I have now taught you how to fish with Me. This is My Harvest. This one fish was ready. More will soon come. Soon it shall become a Flood. You must quickly gather the Fishers, for the Great Flood is upon you and your nets shall break if you do not all participate. It is even at Your Gates. Get My Heart. See through My Eyes. You will know where to look when you have truly died. When you do see, the Fish will naturally come to Me. Change is upon you. My Ripples are moving; the Shaking shall increase even more. For the Leaping shall increasingly become like a Roar, and you shall cry out, Come Boats! Come Fishers! Come Nets! Come more! This is what I have been waiting for!”

I then looked down at the shiny silvery fish that lay peacefully in my hand and I held it to my breast because I was so moved by the Lords words. As I did this, the fish just disappeared! I looked down and I looked around to see if it had fallen. The Lord shook His head. “No child, the fish fulfilled its purpose. It went right into your heart. When you held it up to your chest, and you treasured it, it was then that your heart asked for My Best. I just gave you more of My Love for My Harvest. This is what I desire! This is what I require! Only those that will change, can I trust with My Reins. What else do you see?” I looked out to the sea again, and it then hit me that it was no longer sultry out and I didn’t feel miserable and it wasn’t as wearisome in the boat as it had been. The Lord nodded, pleased. He then said, “You have learned well, My Test has served its purpose. It is now time to move on.”

The vision ended.

Luke 5:2 and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 3Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. 4And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch." 5And Simon answered, "Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets." 6And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking. 7They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, "Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord." 9For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, 10and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, "Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men." 11And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.
