“The Fountain, the Battlefield, and Golden Rain – 07-28-16”
I
enter the heavenly city, and right in the center of the square is the same
beautiful white marble fountain that I always love to see. I walk over and sit
on the edge of the fountain, and I wearily look down into the water. I just
absently run my hand in the water and absently smile. I hear a voice ask me,
“What do you see?” My attention is snapped back to reality and I look into the
water, and I see nothing. I say, “I don’t see anything.” The voice says to me,
“Good. When you finally come to the end of yourself, you are ready for
transformation. Its time for new vision to begin.”
I
look up to see who is speaking to me, and I see the form of a man but the light
is shining from his face from the angle that I am sitting from, and I cant
distinguish his features very well. Knowing my thoughts, he bends down till his
face is closer to me and he is also looking in the water now too. He is an
older man but with smooth skin, a red beard, and curly red hair. His eyes are
small, but kind, and he is interested in the water, so I turn to look at what
he is looking at.
As
I turn my head, I see his reflection in the fountain water. I look around and I
still do not see mine. He nods and says, “That’s because you do not yet see
your destiny in your heart. Without a vision My people perish or languish. You
must see yourself as I see you in your heart, and when you do, you will see
yourself in your true view.” I closed my eyes and prayed, “Lord open my eyes to
see my destiny. Open my eyes to see who I truly am, and who you have made me to
be. I want to clearly see all that is written of me. Awaken fresh vision within
Me, so that a full transformation will establish a true reflection of who you
are within.”
I
felt such a peace begin to flow inside kind of like a light breeze blowing
within. It felt very fresh and so light that I kept my eyes closed and just
savored the moment. I could feel myself smiling inside. It was like I was
gliding in my heart. I could feel my heart lift and float in the wind.
Everything seemed far away, and that I could rest here for a long time in the
sunshine.
Then
I heard a sound, and it sounded like a man clearing their throat rather loudly.
My eyes flew open and I was not sitting by the fountain anymore. I looked
around and I was shocked that I was now sitting in a field of green grass and
trees and flowers. I had been transported to this place and did not even know
it. The man who was clearing his voice to get my attention was not the same red
haired man as before. But this man was Jesus. He was laughing at my obvious
confusion and at my embarrassment. He did not wait for me to regain my
composure.
He
said, “Sue, you know that what you feel and see in your heart is real. You did
glide when your eyes were closed. You came here. That’s why you felt the wind
blowing within you. You are a spirit, and where your heart goes, you do go.
When you see with your spirit, you are actually engaging the true reality. You
must trust your spirit more, and trust your faith in Me, even more than your
natural reality. Confusion and discouragement sets in when you try to
accomplish your purpose in your flesh or with your mind. You will never be able
to change the natural reality from your outward senses and abilities. All true transformation
begins from within. When you strive to change the exterior without having your
vision renewed from within, all you do is wear yourself out trying to bring
agreement and purpose into union through the flesh. This is not My very best.”
“I
desire that all of My children understand what is truly born of and through Me.
When I build My House, every part that I build has a purpose. A lack of purpose
is what brings destruction even to a newly laid foundation. I want to strengthen
every aspect of My House so that it can house the fullness of My Glory which is
coming. So I am renewing the hope, the faith, and the vision of My people so
that they can see who they are, and who I am when they look within themselves,
and also when they look at everything in this life. This is not a time to lose
focus, or to lose heart, but it is a time to become invigorated in faith for
the destiny of your generation.”
“Come.”
He reached out His hand to me, and stood up and beckoned for me to come with Him.
I reached up and took His hand and just like a feather I was standing next to
Him, a little bit light headed, but now laughing beside Him. He began walking
towards some trees and He was holding my hand tightly as if I needed the help
to stay in step with Him, but I truly didn’t for it felt like I was gliding
next to Him even though my feet were moving. I laughed at this thinking it was
pretty hysterical.
Jesus
looked over at me and knew what I was thinking, and He laughed too, obviously
enjoying my silliness. Then He stopped and the moment stopped too, for right in
front of us was not a park like setting anymore, but a battlefield. I looked
and a battle was indeed being waged and it was very awful. The ground was not
green, but it was like beat up with potholes and big ruts, and not much
vegetation.
It
was a dismal place, and the people that were there looked like they were
engaged in combat with themselves and also with invisible opponents. I wondered
who or what they were fighting. The people were bloody, bruised, and dirty.
With not much vegetation around, the dirt just flew in the air as they wrestled
around, and the people were caked with dirt. They were disheveled and their
clothes were torn and many looked like they were not going to last one more
minute.
I asked, “Lord what or who are they were fighting?” The Lord grimly
said to me, “Themselves.” I looked again and the Lord nodded, “Yes, much of the
battles that My people face are fought mainly within themselves. The
battleground of most trials is found within the hearts and the minds of My people.
Without faith, and without a vision, most will not survive. This is why the
enemy defeats so many of My people.”
“It
is important to believe in Me, for that is where all faith is rooted, but you
must also have faith in the purpose that I created you for, in order to become
who I have made you to be. Many say they believe in Me, but they doubt their
destiny. They doubt in My ability to finish their transformation. I am the
Creator of all things. I know exactly how to relate to each of My Creation and
to each of My People. But it is hard for them to relate to themselves and to
each other.”
“Your
generation must change. Your hearts must change. You must believe, and you must
trust Me to bring life to your daily lives. You will see everything clearly
when you can see Me. I am going to open your eyes, so that clear vision,
purpose, and fruitfulness can flow again. I am here to transform your
generation, and it begins with you. Its time for the internal battles to end
and for life to begin.” With those words, Jesus raised His arm as if to motion
again, and the battlefield disappeared and the green hills, flowers, and the trees
returned. The air was fresh again, and the sun shone, and I felt light again. I
smiled and twirled all around Him.
Jesus
laughed and watched me for a moment, and He said, “This is how I like you the
most, when you are not burdened, and when you are not struggling. You must keep
your heart close to Mine all the time. Do not let your attention be distracted
with the cares of ministry, or of this life. Keep your spirit focused at all
times, remember that I am also within. There should be no battles raging
within, only abiding with Me. As your spirit is in tune with Me, then the daily
responsibilities will remain light, and so will your sight. You will always
know what to do, and My life will flow through all you do. That is My desire
for you, and for all of My People. Now follow Me.”
Suddenly
I found myself back at the city entrance sitting by the fountain again. Jesus
was sitting there too. He reached over to my shoulder and said, “Look Sue, look
in and see what awaits you.” I looked at His face, and I looked down into the
water. I could see a living scene flowing in the fountain. I saw myself in the
scene. I saw the sun shining then I saw rain. It was the same golden rain that
I have seen many times. It was raining everywhere in the scene. The fire was
golden but it was golden fire.
I
saw the drops fall all over me and they melted onto the outside of my body.
This looked like golden armor melting onto me, coating me with a liquid fire
that became a part of me. Then I realized that it was really happening to me. I
could feel it coating me from within. What I was seeing in the fountain was actually
happening within! I was being made new from within, and I suddenly realized
that I could now see myself! I was being transformed!
The
Lord smiled broadly, and said, “Yes. When you see what is true from within,
then it truly begins. This is how I am coming to all men. I am awakening man
from within, and each one will decide the reality in which they will reside. Those
who I can indwell, and those in whom I can abide, shall always come to know who they are,
and will walk in their true reality with Me. Those who will yield fully to Me will
also transform as they mature in Me, and they will reach this generation. Its time for clear identity and
purpose to return to your nation, and also to your generation. Rise up in your
faith and begin again, and you shall all fish in true joy with Me for all men.”
The
encounter ended.
