A Dream Vision and a Word – April 2008
[Moses] Fear
ye not; stand still, and see the salvation of the Lord which He will work for
you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today; ye shall see them again
no more forever. Fear not [this
trial] [Ex 14:13]
With Jesus
Christ, my Lord and my God, I shall run.
I shall run as silently as the shadows at the setting of the sun and
with the speed of the four strong winds of heaven.
The harlot
is drunk with the potent wine of the blood of the saints. She is thirsty for
more. For now she sits as an arrogant and proud queen, insisting she has need
of nothing for she is “no widow”. Her
time will come when she will be no more. [Rev 18:7]
The serpent
bit the horse’s heel to cause the horse to stumble and for the warrior to go backward
off the horse and fall hard. Yea, he
did fall but he shall arise again, turn again and wait for the God of his
salvation.
(Dan shall be as a serpent by the way, an
adder in the path that bites the horse heels, so that his rider shall fall
backward. [Gen 49:17])
And a wolf
has hidden himself amongst the sheep, watching the dove that soars, waiting for
it to land close by. Yet the dove does
see the hidden foe and lands gently on the fallen warrior before he rises. Shaken but unhurt, the warrior delights to
see the dove resting upon his shoulder. He
is strengthened.
‘Truly the Lord is with me’, the warrior
thinks. He arises with new hope. He hears a sound likened to a shofar. It
echoed in his ears. The sound of the
shofar’s warning echoes throughout the land.
The four winds carry the deep
rhythm of the war drums. The sound is as
a thing sculpted, forming and revealing a message.
The holy
messengers (angels) hid within the
music that is carried by the winds that blow at the command of God, giving
understanding to the sounds that do speak.
From the throne
of the Most High God, the message goes forth.
He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit is saying…
Crossing the Jordan
Jordan [Hebrew – ‘yarden’, derived from root-verb ‘yarad’, root related to ‘rada’, meaning ‘to rule’ or ‘have
dominion’ [Nahar ha-yarden – Arabic]
Jordan
means: ‘to decline or descend; ‘to go down toward’; natural barrier; the
Lord held back the water (by means of the Ark of the Covenant) for Joshua and
the Israelites to cross over on dry land - (“to decline or descend” as one who is humbled; ’to go down’ as one defeated – defeat the past by leaving it behind
and looking ahead to the “cross” [of Jesus])
Arise! Go over! Possess! Go over the Jordan and possess the land which
God has promised to give you. Press toward the mark of the prize of the high
calling of God in Christ Jesus. [Phil 3:14]
Go
over! Just DO IT! (Obedience is better
than sacrifice…[1Sam 15:20] Come out of your comfort zone. Go after it. Press
toward the King. He awaits! Pick up your
cross with ready arms and the confident look that accompanies victory.
(We know
what OUR Jordan is and we know, in part, what giants we will face…)
You cannot
enter the FULFILLMENT of God’s promise to you UNTIL you GO OVER your Jordan and
stay there.
Go over and the Lord Himself
will subdue the giants. Face your Jordan
and cross over, for the bed of the river is now dry land.
You must
CARRY the ARK [Christ Jesus and His
presence, the Holy Spirit] with you. You must humble
yourself under the Sovereignty of the Most High God, a glorious King. Can you believe God?
Those who
did not ENTER His rest and attain their promises were those who were filled
with FEAR and UNBELIEF.
Although
beyond the walls of water in the Jordan, the sound of rushing currents is
heard, it is drowned out by the strong, yet gentle voice guiding you. “Come.
I am with you. Fear not; only believe (faith); only trust; only obey!”
Remember He
who walked upon the water, bidding Peter to come to Him. Remember He who extends His hand to you, as
you step out in faith. Focus on Jesus,
looking into His eyes and all else will flee away.
Look to the
cross of light. See the King of light
and glory, who rose again, standing beside the cross that you must carry, ready
to walk with you all the way, for you are not greater than your King and Lord
Jesus (Yeshua)…Saviour, Redeemer, Messiah. Stand with Him!
Your heart
will burn within you as you experience and learn of His deep love, His tender
mercies, His undeserved grace, His understanding and great patience
(longsuffering).
Obedience
brings its own rewards.
And Samuel said,
Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying
the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen
than the fat of rams. [1Sam 15:22]
This, My
child, is…
A test of
love
A test of
faith
A test of
trust (hope)
A test of
obedience
A test of
patience
A test of
perseverance
A test of
endurance
A test of
purity
YOU CAN DO
THIS!
In
obedience, misery will flee away powerless as the healing and restoration
begins. Step by step. I will reverse that which has hindered. I will bring forth all that I promised you.
You cannot
grab the outstretched hand, if you will not let go of that which holds you
back. You cannot put your hand to the
plow and go forward, if you continue in looking back.
Let go of
fear and unbelief for it leads to rebellion and disobedience. Go forward in
faith and trust which produces obedience.
Flee lusts
[appetites of the flesh],
fornication, adultery, perversions [both
physical and spiritual] - all impurities, for these are not of God. The adversary will bring these forth.
He will
bring his strongest temptations, but you shall overcome him by the blood of the
Lamb and the word of your testimony (speak
life – My word), and love not your life unto death. [Rev 12:11] Sweet surrender!
(End message)
All things
that lead you away from God are as an idol, a false god. God is a jealous God – He will not be mocked
by the enemy or by disobedient children.
He is a righteous King who brings forth judgment and justice in
righteousness.
Walk before
your God in broken humility and repentance. Yea, God is love but He hates sin
and everything that opposes Him. He is
longsuffering, yes, but He is no fool. Humble yourself before Him. Understand that He
is God.
Tremble
knowing He is all-powerful and that your very life and next breath are in His
hand. Yea, it is He that created you and knew you in your mother’s womb.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom: and the knowledge of the holy is understanding. [Jer 1:5; Prov 9:10]
Go slowly
but confidently toward the Lord God, step by step; it is a process. God knows
how to lead you, teach you and bring you through and up. He is a good Father
and Creator that can be trusted! Pure is His love for His creation.
He arises
in His wrath at the vanities, lies and deception of the adversary. The Lord God warns us about the lust of the
flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, for out of these things
comes forth all manner of evil. These
things are of the world, not of Him. [1Jn 2:16]
God is not mocked, but whatever a man
sows, that shall he reap.
[Gal 6:7]
Turn away –
turn away – turn away from that which will destroy you – from that which REBELS
against a holy Creator and Lord. Confess
to an understanding and compassion King who will then show you undeserved
mercies and great grace.
He IS
faithful and true, mighty and strong, just and holy. Come, stop any rebellion. Let go of pride. Let go of fear. Let go of unbelief.
For
without faith, it is impossible to please Him: for he that comes to God must
believe that He is, and that He is a
rewarder of them that diligently seek Him.
[Heb 11:6]
How dare we
defy our loving Creator? ; He whose thoughts are far above ours; He whose ways
are higher than the highest heavens.
Come. Come,
before the door of the Ark closes – the strait gate. Enter in, enter in, enter in whilst there is
still time. Must He listen to your cries
and screams, as the waters of judgment come and pass over you because you
refused to listen or believe?
Have you
not understood longsuffering (His
patience)? Have you not searched the
breadth, height and depth of His great love?
There is no searching of His understanding. He knows that we cannot comprehend His
vastness.
All He asks
is that we seek Him, pray and repent (turn
from all evil, sin and unrighteousness).
He will answer us but we must wait upon Him.
You will
not be able to say that no one told you.
He has many voices that He uses to speak His word, but His most Holy Spirit alone reveals the
power in the spoken word. His word is
living and it is Spirit and truth.
Christ IS the word which came (and
comes) in the flesh. All that God speaks forth becomes a reality.
So shall My word be that goes forth
out of My mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that
which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. [Is 55:11]
For just as
many streaks of lightning crease across the sky, so shall His judgment go forth
in the light of all His power and glory!
You know not where it goes; neither can you take hold of it and subdue
it.
You cannot
control the power of it. For His voice
is as many thunders that resound deeply throughout all of His creation – as a
roar that makes all flesh melt at its authority and power. Yea, God is God and there is no other.
Yhvh, Yhwh
Elohim, Jehovah, El Shaddai, El Elyon, Yeshua, Jesus – call Him as you
will. He knows who you mean. He knows
every heart. Yea, and He knows who He is.
I AM that I AM. I AM that I
AM. Unsearchable…
Bow before
His holy magnificence; bow humbly, bow deeply.
Wait there – wait in that humble position with fear and trembling and I
tell you, He WILL lift you up.
In the
spiritual, you will look into His flaming eyes, yet your eyes will not fully
see Him, for no flesh can behold His brilliant splendor and still live.
Yea, but in
His presence, you shall behold the glory of His purity and the beauty of His
holiness! And no flesh – no flesh – no
flesh shall glory in His pure love – all-powerful holiness, breath-taking
purity. Yea, no flesh shall glory in His
magnificent presence.
Now is the
time! Take your stand and make your
calling and election sure. Let His
all-powerful, flaming light that penetrates all darkness, all unrighteousness,
consume you and burn out every impurity, every spot, every blemish, all wood,
hay and stubble, for He will have a holy people.
No, your
flesh will not like it. It will cry out
with great resistance. Silence your
flesh by rising up strong in your spirit man to bow down meekly before a holy
King and Creator, in humility and obedience.
You shall
never be ashamed or confounded, for truly those
who wait upon the Lord shall RISE UP with wings as eagles; they shall run and
not grow weary; they shall walk and not faint. [Is 40:31]
He spoke
and it is written: Be still and know that
I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen; I will be exalted above all the
earth. [Ps 46:10]
Know
therefore that the Lord your God, He is God, the Faithful and True God, which
keeps covenant and shows grace and mercy to them that love Him and keep His
commandments to a thousand generations, and forever.
Cross the
Jordan. Carry the ark with you (Christ Jesus)…
Or shall it
be said to you this way –
Enter into
the ark (abide in Christ), for the
day comes where the door soon closes and great judgment such as the world has
never seen before, nor shall ever see again, will fall upon all the earth and
every nation…
If you do
not know God, then you shall not fear that statement of truth, but scoff (calling it gloom and doom or fearmongering),
as surely as they did in Sodom and Gomorrah and as they did in the days of
Noah…until fire fell in the former, and the rain fell unto the great flood in
the latter.
If you know Me, you will have peace
for you will humbly walk in obedient faith, trusting in your King and Lord God,
who loves you with everlasting love.
The steps of a righteous man are
ordered by the Lord, and he delights in his way. [Ps 37:23]
When I was
weak, the Lord defended me, then, He strengthened me. He listened to me when I prayed to Him. When I read His word, His fire purified this
clay. He makes vessels and vessels unto dishonor, yet shall He be glorified.
But in a great house there are not
only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to
honour, and some to dishonor. [2Tim
2:20]
His
strength gently lifted me. When He sang to me, His gentle melodies stroked my
mind and soul, bringing the peace that passes all understanding. It soothed my soul and penetrated my very
heart.
He sent His
holy warrior angels, who stood obediently as a protective wall. They line the narrow path that leads to the
tent of the Holy King. My King waited
patiently whilst I slumbered as one in a coma.
I was gravely wounded, as though dead. In the time of my healing (a process), He protected me.
I will rise
up as Lazarus. These dead bones shall
live.
He will
hide me in the tent where the Ark (Jesus/Y’shua)
rests. When the time is right, He shall
bring me forth for His glory. I abide in
Christ and He abides in me. Greater is He that is me than he that is in the
world.
You are of God, little children, and
have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in
the world. [1Jn 4:4]
No weapon
formed against me shall prosper and every tongue that rises up against me in
judgment, I shall condemn (it will have
no power over me), for this is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and
my righteousness is of Him. [Is 54:17]
It has all
been planned by the King, for such a time as this. There is a great stirring. I have arisen, boldly taking a stand. Now I wait for the King. At His word, I shall come forth just as
Lazarus did, healed and restored, re-created.
My very
life is in His competent hands.
Others
shall come forth also as Lazarus did, healed and restored. These are brethren
and we are the body of Christ, and Jesus is the Head. For we are in the very last of the last days
and greater works must we do.
The
labourers [the remnant] are few and they must go forth to bring in the harvest.
The power and strength and authority is Christ’s alone who abides in us, and He
works through us.
Selah
for His glory
