The Lighthouse and the Coming Storms Encounter 8-3-25
I was walking along this cliffside. Off in the distance, I saw there was a lighthouse. It was very windy, like most seaside places are. I walked towards the lighthouse, and I saw that it was getting dark. It wasn't lit up yet and the bottom door was open. I wondered why it was not lit, because I knew there was a big storm coming. I walked up to the lighthouse and looked inside. It is empty, dirty, and vacant, no one had been in here for years. I walk up the stone stairway all the way to the top. It wasn't lit, but I had matches in my pocket. So, I lifted up the glass thing and I lit it. There was fuel in it still. I was amazed that it still lit after many years of non-use. A man appeared and came in the door at the bottom of the lighthouse and he says, "Oh good, I'm glad you're here."
I turned around and looked down to where he was standing and I said, "What?" And he said, "I'm glad you're here. I've been praying to the Lord for a watchman to come and light the lighthouse.” He was the lighthouse groundskeeper. I said, “well, why didn't you light it?” He said, “because I don't have the matches. I don't have a way to light it. I'm responsible for the grounds, but I'm not responsible for the lighting it, that's not my job, but my job is to pray for the grounds here and I pray for the lighthouse. My name is Andre.” I said to Andre, “Why is there no one in the town nearby that will come to watch over the lighthouse?” He said, “They all left. No one wants to watch over the seas. No one wants to stay on the watch. The town hates this lighthouse. No one will come here and light the fire. They all quit being the caretakers here.”
Then the Lord appeared inside the Lighthouse. He said, “Ah, there you are, Sue. Andre here is My groundskeeper, and he prays for the watchmen to answer the call. He was crying out to Me for this lighthouse by the sea to be lit again because there's a storm coming, and so I sent you.” I said, “Okay, well, I'm willing to stay here tonight, but I said, aren't there other prayer towers and things that also need to be manned? He laughs at me and said, “Yes, but right now I want you here.” I said, “Okay.” Andre then brought me coffee and sandwiches because I'd have to watch it all night in the storm, to make sure the fire stayed lit, and he brought his little dog named Gorgo to stay with me. Gorgo was a funny little wiry dog who ran around jumping and barking and playing happily with his ball.
The wind was blowing outside powerfully. You could hear the waves on the sea were being stirred up. Suddenly, I saw this huge bat-winged demon fly up to the top where I was standing by the lit fire. The black bat demon flew by and says, "What are you doing here?" And I said, "The Lord assigned me this post." He snarled and said, “Well, I rule this lighthouse and I rule this town and you can't be here.” I said, “Well, then you take that up with the Lord. He told me to man this post, and if you don't like it, then you talk to Jesus. I said, what's your name? He said, “Curse.” I said, “I knew then that because of the disobedience of the people to obey the Lord, and to come here and keep the lighthouse lit, and to watch and pray. Disobedience empowered this curse.
I said to the demon, “Oh, I see why everyone hates this place, because you attack the people in the town. You rule this area.” The demon smiled and said, “Yes, I have the right to rule over them.” I said, “Well I'm staying here and there's nothing you can do about it. If you don't like it, talk to the Lord. Then he says, “Oh, you won't last long.” The demon angrily flew off. There was a curse on their land and on their town. See, and that's what scripture says. When you disobey the Lord, you are under the curse. If the church and God's people in that town were being disobedient to not watch and pray and to govern their areas through prayer. Then the influence of this demon would rule over the watchman. That's why there was no protection from the storms and no one to watch in the lighthouse.
Later, I saw this massive wave come towards the lighthouse to destroy it. I gasped. I then heard the Lord whisper to my heart, “Remember, I put you here. You'll be okay. That wave is named “Illusion.” This is what caused all the other lighthouse keepers to flee in fear, and abandoned their post, they even left the door open and ran away. No one wanted anything to do with the lighthouse because of satans lies and illusions, which is not the truth, which causes you to fear. Because in the Presence of Truth, there is no fear. When people don't want to obey and willfully walk in disobedience the enemy will cause fears, delusions, illusions in their lives to keep them under deception. Men will have many excuses to run away and to not obey.”
I said out loud, “Well we will not fear. We will stand our ground in the Lord's safety all around. His hand keeps us in our commands!” Suddenly, in that moment, I knew the curse over the area was broken. The Blessing was established because of my obedience to stay and the act, it broke the curse here. Obedience will bring God’s blessing. I then felt everything begin to shake really hard outside. I grabbed the walls to steady myself and tried to look outside but it was still dark outside. I said, “Lord what is happening? The Lord said, “The harder shakings will be all around you in the lands, but they will not have the ability to harm you here. Through the coming storms ahead, people will begin to look up and see the light of the lighthouse and they will come to the safety of the lighthouse, but the shakings ahead will cause people to look and to see Me in the midst of it. I will shake them all fully out of their sleep.”
Andre then said, “What are you going to name this lighthouse Sue?” I said, “What do you mean? Doesn't it already have a name?” He said, “All buildings have names.” I said, “Well, what was the name before?” He said, “That doesn't matter now that you're here. So, what are you going to name it?” I thought, that's kind of crazy, and my mind was trying to think of different names, and I finally just patted the wall of the lighthouse, and I said, “Okay, Mr. Beacon. Let's do our job in the call, whatever it is. I called him Mr. Beacon because I know a beacon is a light house. But...I know there's more to this than that, but he was really targeting something by naming it ...why there's not a care about prayer in the church.
I said, "Well, the lights on. Now what do I do about the ships caught in the storm?" Andre said, "Nothing. Your job as watchman is to keep the light on. Keep the prayer going. That's your part. The people at sea have a choice to take the warning of the light so they can navigate right or they're going to crash, and you're not responsible for that. You're just responsible to obey and to pray and keep that light going.” I said, “Yeah. The prayer. The light is prayer. The light of revelation.” Then the Lord said, “What people will choose to do with My warnings is up to them. The lighthouses keep people from shipwrecking, but Sue, you're not responsible for their choices if they don't obey the warnings. It's up to people to seek Me for wisdom for the days ahead and then to obey Me.”
