"A Journey Into Understanding The Deeper Artesian
Springs - 08-26-13"
For the past 2 days, I have been reading out of my
Message Translation Bible that I keep by my bed for times when I want to read
for devotional purposes. I picked it up and read Isaiah 28. I was astounded by
the time I got through the chapter. The Lord has not let me get out of this
chapter ever since. So this morning, I sat on my couch and asked the Lord to
give me more understanding on this chapter for our days, and for what we need
to know to walk with Him in it all. For clarity sake, I will post the chapter
below first: (I underlined the parts that stood out to me)
Isaiah 28:
1-4 Doom to the pretentious drunks of Ephraim, shabby
and washed out and seedy—Tipsy, sloppy-fat, beer-bellied parodies of a
proud and handsome past. Watch closely: God has someone picked out, someone
tough and strong to flatten them. Like a hailstorm, like a hurricane, like a
flash flood, one-handed he'll throw them to the ground. Samaria, the
party hat on Israel's head, will be knocked off with one blow. It will
disappear quicker than a piece of meat tossed to a dog.
5-6 At that time, God-of-the-Angel-Armies will be the
beautiful crown on the head of what's left of his people: Energy and insights
of justice to those who guide and decide, strength and prowess to those
who guard and protect.
7-8 These also, the priest and prophet, stagger from
drink, weaving, falling-down drunks, Besotted with wine and whiskey, can't
see straight, can't talk sense. Every table is covered with vomit. They live in
vomit.
9-10 "Is that so? And who do you think you are to
teach us? Who are you to lord it over us? We're not babies in diapers to
be talked down to by such as you—'Da, da, da, da, blah, blah, blah, blah.
That's a good little girl, that's a good little boy.'"
11-12 But that's exactly how you will be
addressed. God will speak to this people, In baby talk, one syllable at a
time— and he'll do it through foreign oppressors. He said before,
"This is the time and place to rest, to give rest to the weary. This
is the place to lay down your burden." But they won't listen.
13 So God will start over with the simple basics and
address them in baby talk, one syllable at a time—"Da, da, da,
da, blah, blah, blah, blah. That's a good little girl, that's a good
little boy." And like toddlers, they will get up and fall down, get
bruised and confused and lost.
14-15 Now listen to God's Message, you scoffers, you
who rule this people in Jerusalem
We're advised by the experts. We're set."
16-17 But the Master, God, has something to say to
this: "Watch closely. I'm laying a foundation in Zion
18-22 "Then you'll see that your precious life
insurance policy wasn't worth the paper it was written on. Your careful
precautions against death were a pack of illusions and lies. When the
disaster happens, you'll be crushed by it. Every time disaster comes,
you'll be in on it— disaster in the morning, disaster at night."
Every report of disaster will send you cowering in terror. There will be no
place where you can rest, nothing to hide under. God will rise to full
stature, raging as he did long ago on Mount
Perazim And in the valley of Gibeon
23-26 Listen to me now. Give me your closest
attention. Do farmers plow and plow and do nothing but plow? Or harrow
and harrow and do nothing but harrow? After they've prepared the ground, don't
they plant? Don't they scatter dill and spread cumin, Plant wheat
and barley in the fields and raspberries along the borders? They know
exactly what to do and when to do it. Their God is their teacher.
27-29 And at the harvest, the delicate herbs and
spices, the dill and cumin, are treated delicately. On the other hand,
wheat is threshed and milled, but still not endlessly. The farmer knows how
to treat each kind of grain. He's learned it all from God-of-the-Angel-Armies, who
knows everything about when and how and where.
So, after I prayed about more understanding, I go and
lay down on my bed. I then have a vision of the following scene:
I am with a group of people, and we are all living together
in a place. We have some crops growing, and houses, and the usual things. But
there is no water for people to drink in the whole area. So I prayed to the
Lord in the vision and asked Him to open an artesian spring for us from under
the ground so we would all have water to drink. The Lord then spoke to me to
walk over to where a rocky area was on the property. It was a hilly part with
big boulders and bushes. he said to me to look, and I would find an opening,
and to go in there and I would find the spring. So I did, and there was a
room-like opening within the boulders, and there was a bubbling spring flowing
inside. I went and told the others and we all drank from that spring, and used
it to water our crops and for bathing.
One day, an angel came and told me to tell everyone to
come into the room-like opening because He wanted to talk to us, so we all
gathered there. He had a long robe on, and a long staff in his hand. He began
to talk to us, and as he talked, the ground shook and all of the rocks outside
fell down and closed the opening of the room and we were shut inside with the
angel. His staff then lit up with a reddish glow which filled the area with red
light for us all to see by. He then talked more to us and we listened. I could
hear sounds of things happening outside but they seemed far away in comparison
to the angels words being spoken to us.
After awhile, his staff started to change colors and eventually turned to blue. When that happened the rocks that had blocked the entrance to where we were just disappeared, and bright sunlight from outside streamed into the area. The angel then said to us, it has been 6 years since you entered here with me, so when you go outside things will be different. We all looked at each other because we thought it was only hours or maybe a couple of days. We all then began to go back outside into the brilliant sunlight, and things had changed everywhere, even the area we were at was now overgrown with thick greenery, as no one had tended it for 6 years. Then I was back in my bed.

Then I was back in my bed.
I laid there praying about the interpretation, and the
Lord then said to me:
"I have been calling My people into deeper levels
of intimacy with Me, but most have not been listening, so they are like errant
children with no sense of direction, and are unbalanced in their walks with Me.
Many have not grown up into maturity, and are still caught up in the world, and
in the daily affairs of the hour, and many are in stress, in fear, and are in
danger of hardening into unbelief. But you have the wisdom to ask Me for wisdom
for your day, you have sought for the deeper insights into your hour, and into
where I am taking you. You know that My Harvesting Wave has already begun to
come into your nation, and the water levels are rising, and I am pouring out
wisdom for all to gather and to get it from Me."
"I am opening up the hearts of men, and you are
beginning to gather the first phase of the harvest of the new babes in. I am
growing you up in the harvesting, so that you can effectively mentor them, and
not let them fall away as in the past harvests. But you will have to meet with
Me more, for the water is going to get stronger and will last longer, and I
will deal stronger with many, and will shake them to their cores, as I deal
with them in the hearts and minds, and as I deal with the sin in My House, and
the wickedness in the nations. You have asked me to take you deeper into My
heart and Mind, and to teach you so that you can walk as the 5 wise virgins
through your generation. So I have begun to gather you and to teach you to
function in the deeper truths of My Spirit, and this is seen by you drinking of
the artesian spring, but know this, that only the Remnant across the globe are
drinking out of it right now with Me."
"I have been calling the masses of My Church to
drink of it, but most still refuse to become a spiritual House for Me, but they
want to drink through their worldly glasses instead. So they will have no pure
water to sustain them or to carry them through the harder days ahead of you. They
are going to have a very hard time in the next 6 years, and many of My people will
perish in their disobedience to Me, and in their neglect of seeking Me, for
they will not have their inner selves built up to be rooted deep enough in Me.
For I am going to shake the earth like never before, and many nations will be in
uproar, and nations, entire races, and international borders will be radically
changed when I am through with this phase of global realignment and reconstruction.
I am here to harvest this generation."
"But to you who hear My Voice, I am now bringing
you into another deeper time of feeding, of learning to walk truer in the
Spirit with Me. I will give you hands on assignments. and I will give you more mature
experiences with Me that will be necessary for you to learn, to prepare you for
the full weight of My Wave that will hit the nations in 2020. I will shut you
in with Me corporately in deeper ways, and when you meet, I will take over and I
open My Word and give you the deep meat, the deep truths that I have reserved
for your generation to walk in. The others that disobey will no longer be able
to stay among you, for I will drive them out, and they will wander in a dry
condition, and will go through the great shakings and the severe events, and
the earth changes I will bring. It will be very hard to bear, for they did not
care, when I called to them to come and gather together with Me, and with the Corporate
Body when it was easy."
"You are each to know, that I will provide for
you in various ways in the coming days, and I will sustain you as I train you,
and I will enrich you with My wealth, and you will all glow with My health.
Those who come and learn of Me, will become the pillars of stability in your
days, and also in the coming years, and all throughout the decades to come.
There is still time, for there is yet much to be done. I will teach you all
what to do, and when to do them, as you all depend fully on Me. But you must
gather together in prayer more often in the days ahead, and seek My Face
corporately, and eat with joy what I give to you, and then obey what I say, and
as you all do, then you will come forth easily into the New Day, for I shall
realign the nations and the peoples of the earth, My Way."
"I am in control of the earth, not men, and I am
here to enter into a Season of Contention with them, and when I am through, the
nations will all know who I Am, and things will become more in line with what I
have ordained them to be, for the sake of the Global Harvest to fully be able
to be brought in, and for the newly saved children that will come in, to be
discipled correctly into My men in this generation. I will no longer allow My
Harvests to be wasted, nor corrupted anymore, so I am entering into men's and
international affairs in this hour, and I will have My way, and you shall see
much global change over the next 6 years, but you all will sow and reap My
harvest fields with thankful hearts and joyful tears. I am answering all of
your prayers, for I am your God who truly cares, and I will do it in surprising
ways in the coming days. Now, go on your way, and seek My everyday, for I am
with you all, and as you all pray corporately with Me on the Wall, you shall
fulfill your generational call."
Proverbs 18:4 Many words rush along like rivers
in flood, but deep wisdom flows up from artesian springs. TM
John 4:11-12 The woman said, "Sir, you don't even
have a bucket to draw with, and this well is deep. So how are you going to get
this 'living water'? Are you a better man than our ancestor Jacob, who dug this
well and drank from it, he and his sons and livestock, and passed it down to
us?" 13-14 Jesus said, "Everyone who drinks this water will
get thirsty again and again. Anyone who drinks the water I give will never
thirst—not ever. The water I give will be an artesian spring within, gushing
fountains of endless life." TM
John 7:37 Now on the final and most important day of
the Feast, Jesus stood, and He cried in a loud voice, If any man is thirsty,
let him come to Me and drink! 38 He who believes in Me [who cleaves to and
trusts in and relies on Me] as the Scripture has said, From his innermost being
shall flow [continuously] springs and rivers of living water. AMP
Micah 6:1 HEAR NOW what the Lord says: Arise,
contend and plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your
voice. 2 Hear, O mountains, the Lord's controversy, and you strong and enduring
foundations of the earth, for the Lord has a controversy (a pleading
contention) with His people, and He will [pleadingly] contend with Israel Jerusalem
September 1st marks the end of the crossing over, into
an intense serious time, and we must be correctly aligned now, and focus down
to learn more of the strategies of the Lord, and pray over His Words to us for
our coming days, to be able to lead the people through these 6 years of global correction,
and further into what the Lord has after that for the nations. We must grow up
in His increasing prayer flow, and birth the full weight of the Harvest, for
the Wave will be at the highest stage of crest in 2020, and we will all be
harvesting plenty! Dig in saints, and go deeper in prayer!
