Waiting and Listening and Walking with God
I have been in a time of waiting upon the Lord for a few weeks now. There is so much activity and so much fear running loose everywhere I look, that it necessitated a seeking mode for clarity and sanity's sake. With all of the Prophetic stimulus and debates going on it seems that the winds of confusion have been stirred within the earth. This is a time when we must set our faces like flint to seek the Lord and to heighten our awareness to His Presence and to His Person within us, but also with us. That being said and done, there is such a refreshing flowing from the Father right now for His People. It is a Time of Great Clarity and Strength if we will apprehend it for ourselves. Let us shut off the distractions, the opinions, debates, news rampages, etc, and let us get our daily bread from the Source, from Jesus Christ, who knows just what we need and what we need to know. The Lord spoke to me as I rested and gave me the following vision. I pray it blesses you also.
In the vision, I saw the whole world as one massive surge of humanity. The people were going about their daily business, running to and fro in their differing affairs. The noise was deafening, as it seemed like I could hear them all talking at once. There was so much activity that it seemed like there was no stillness or break in the flood of movement. Then I saw their daily things being interrupted by weather and storms, by accidents, by sudden changes, etc. It seemed like anything that disrupted their normal flow of activity sent the whole mass of peoples into an uproar and panic. The masses then began to argue with one another, and some even blamed the other for their disruption. There was no order among them when they were all agitated. Some people tried to bring order, but they were accused of being controlling and were rejected. Finally, after they all were exhausted from fighting did they begin to settle down to their routines again.
Then I saw an amazing thing. I saw that above the masses was the Lord, and He was walking on air, it seemed, just above the masses. He was walking above them as naturally as they were walking on the earth. He was walking on a different plane or dimension than those who were below. He was watching the peoples, and He was trying to speak to them but they were not listening. He would speak to one, but the person would shake his head and move faster in his pace. Jesus would speak to another, and the person hesitated for a second like he heard the Lord and acknowledged it was Him, but they also just sped along in their affairs. He spoke to another man, and the man stopped. He looked up, and saw Jesus above him, and he reached up to Jesus and the lord lifted him up to where He was. The man was so relieved that he cried and hugged the Lord. Jesus hugged Him and then they both turned and He began to walk with him above the masses.
The Lord then did this over and over, till more began to rise up above the clamor and the busyness and their worldly pursuits to walk with Him where He was. In comparison to the amount of people below on the earth, there were not many, but from where I watched it seemed like a multitude. Then the Lord stopped. The group with Him stopped. He looked below and He wept. The earth began to grow even more erratic. The people's below were even more agitated and fearful. Greater storms raged across the planet and more severe problems broke out between groups of peoples. Groups began to blame groups and neighbors began to blame neighbors. Governments began to blame governments and so on. It seemed like the clamor had escalated in the earth till it was a deafening roar. I wondered how they could stand it watching from above.
The Lord then did a strange thing. He knelt down on the plane above the masses on the earth below. He whispered to them below. I thought to myself, “How can they hear a whisper?” But to my surprise, I saw some of the people below respond and look up. When they did, they saw the Lord. He lifted them up to where He was as He did the others, and they began to walk with Jesus above too. Jesus was smiling at them all. The people had a look of peace and contentment on their faces too. This continued for a period of time as I watched. The people walked with Jesus and began to be filled with a new purpose and they smiled and looked so happy and strong that their very countenance seemed to have changed and their bodies looked healthier too. Many were singing as they walked over the masses of people below them. It was interesting to watch because the masses below were not aware of those who walked above them.
Then the Lord began to tell them to descend below back into the throngs of humanity. They had to take their places again. There were things they must yet do. Alot of them did not want to go, but the Lord said they must go and be His Messengers to those below. So, one by one, they descended and began to live amongst the people's again. After a time, I saw pockets of peace open up in the earth. Little areas of peace, at first, where there was no fear or turmoil or agitations. It was like people began to go around those areas instead of going into them. But this actually caused the area of peace to increase. As the intensity of the earth's activity increased and the chaos below flare up, you could see the peace spread. Before long, the frustrated and confused peoples began to notice the small areas of peace. One by one, I saw some of the frenzied people begin to step over into the peaceful area to see what it was. When they did, I saw a great light swirl around that person and they began to weep and to cry out and the peace of God filled them too. Soon I could hear them shouting happily. The ones in the areas of peace rejoiced with them. Little by little more entered into these places and were made whole.
I noticed that others in the earth that saw the peaceful areas did not like them. They cursed the peaceful areas and shook their fists at them and blamed the peaceful areas for their troubles in the earth. It seemed that if you were not miserable and troubled like the masses then you were a threat to them, even though you were the answer they sought. Fear drove them to reject anything that did not look like them. So, they avoided the areas of peace and congregated with others who also hated them instead. This caused greater upheavals to certain areas as these people then caused concentrated areas of hatred, jealousy and pride to flare up and rule them. Fear was so entrenched within these groups that agreed to oppose the peaceful areas that it became places of great hardness.
I watched as the two differing areas eventually separated and grew and strengthened in their opposing locations. In the midst of these opposing groups were the majority of the masses who were still oblivious to their choices and to their individual paths. This caused great swells of unrest and turmoil and confusion as the peoples could not seem to agree or to find a solution to their troubles on the earth. The areas of peace flourished and grew. The areas of hatred languished and dried up to a rock hardness. The areas of upheaval and troubles only continued on with each days events that came in it.
As the peoples descended, the Lord watched and nodded. He smiled and folded His arms. He then looked at me and said to me, “This is a picture of humanity lost without Me. They are bound by sin, and rebellion and fear. Until they turn to Me, their paths will never be clear. I call out day by day, to all who walk in the way. But few respond to Me, so they live on in their misery. I am now moving upon My People. I am calling them up higher. I will lift them up into My Place of Rest. I shall fill them with My Love and heal them and restore their souls. The effects of death and sin and rebellion has taken it's toll and even My Children are caught in the very same flow. It is time for change. It is time for My House to be a Place of Light, and of Peace, and of Rest, and of Healing, and of Strength. It is time for My House to grow. I am going to blow upon My House, and I will cause it to expand. I will cause Great Peace and Great Salvation to spread as My people learn to make Me their daily bread.”
“Learn of Me and walk with Me. I shall give My Wisdom to thee. I shall cause you to bloom in the turmoil, and you shall shine and draw many to Me. I have shown you the Key, it is walking with Me. There will be no lasting answers and permanent solutions to the increasing troubles in the earth below. You must rise up and learn to sit even more with Me and gain My Mind for the day and for the people that will come your way. Quiet yourself and listen. I am calling many in this Hour. Rise up and let Me life you to another level. You will no longer succumb to the worldly cares and to the wiles of the devil. You will instead begin to radiate My Life and My Peace and My Light to those I send to you. You shall increase and enlarge and grow in your areas. For I am Your Peace. I am Your Rest. I am Your Life. You are to become a picture of Me. You are to establish whole areas of Peace. Areas of Light. Areas of Rest. Areas of Healing. Just as the darkness is increasing, so am I. I will be seen through you, and those who are in great darkness shall see a great light, and they shall seek it out and come to Me. The more that you seek Me, and the closer that you walk to Me, the greater shall your peace be.”
“You are called to be a Region of Light. You are called to be a City of Healing. You are called to be a Place of Great Salvation. It starts with you. Respond to Me, and rise up, and come to Me. Let go of your fears, your busyness, and your cares. Climb My Heavenly Stairs. I have laid a path for you to walk. It is Holy, but it is also a Joy. My rest will bring the Truths you seek and the Wisdom you desire, and when you climb higher, you will be filled with Peace's Fire. You will do those things that I require. Turn away from the councils of men, and learn to walk in your true dominion. I have shown you this in this way, so that you would not allow others opinions to sway, but that you will draw from My Peace within, and walk in confidence in who I Am. My Peace will guide you. My Rest will strengthen you. My Word will teach you. My Hand will direct you. My Life will flow from you wherever you go. It is My desire to reveal Myself through My People. I want to be seen as I Am. So, I am bringing change, so that I can fully be seen. Take heed and abide in Me. I will be to you Living Reality. I shall increase and I shall flow and My Life will wage war in the earth even more. Death shall bow to My Name. Do not focus on the war, but focus on Me even more. Your delight shall be in Your God and in My Ways. My Peace shall lengthen your days. I am about to advance in many areas and great shall be the battle, but great shall be the Peace of those who walk with Me. Look at Me, listen to My Voice, and walk as I walk. More shall awaken to the ticking of My Clock.”
Genesis 6:11 AMP The earth was depraved and putrid in God's sight, and the land was filled with violence (desecration, infringement, outrage, assault, and lust for power). 12 And God looked upon the world and saw how degenerate, debased, and vicious it was, for all humanity had corrupted their way upon the earth and lost their true direction.
Hebrews 2:14 Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil, 15and deliver all those who through fear of death were subject to lifelong slavery. 16For surely it is not angels that he helps, but he helps the offspring of Abraham.
Colossians 3:15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful.
Galatians 5:16 But I say, walk by (in, with) the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
Acts 9:31 So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied.

Matthew 10:13 And if the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it, but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you.
Luke 10:6 And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you.
