84. The Sword



I was on the road the other day and I was daydreaming at the clouds. This particular cloud caught the corner of my eye. I did a double take. I was instantly reminded of our country in my spirit. I was then hit by sadness, fear and urgency. As I was trying to figure out what all of that meant...I noticed how dark the area was that appeared to be the USA. It was like a foreboding hit my spirit. It felt sinister and to be honest, it almost made me sick. It had been bothering me for a few days, trying to pray and think about what it could be. As I was praying today I saw a vision of the country. There was a dark cloud across the entire country. It was thick with every negative feeling that we are going through right now: fear, loneliness, isolation, desperation, envy, suspicion, anger, hatred, sin, evil. The thickness of this dark cloud almost tasted like a dry, bitter ash in my mouth. Suddenly the negativity faded into hope. I saw His hands gripping and guiding a giant sword down to the earth. The strength and determination of His grip were a comfort. As it swiftly cut the cloud of darkness that spanned across the USA, it reminded me of the fluent ease of cutting a ribbon. Just like that the darkness was severed. Almost like cutting a pizza in half, but in one swoop, with a sword. The purity of the metal, the strength and peace in His hands, the Perfect Love that shattered all Fear, it was remarkable. The clouds parted, the foreboding vanished. The clouds parted, the foreboding vanished. The sun was able to shine down again. Hang in there. He’s coming, but it’s going to get worse before it gets better. Repent, Pray, Seek the Lord, Seek Relationship, Worship, Have Hope, Have Faith. Those of us who know Jesus should have FAITH. It’s all in the book, these things have to come to pass and they are. This is the Good News!! He’s coming because He LOVES us. He wants nothing more than our love in return.

Romans 10:13 (KJV)
13 For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Isaiah 66:16 (NKJV)
16 For by fire and by His sword
The Lord will judge all flesh;
And the slain of the Lord shall be many.

Matthew 10:34-42 (KJV)
34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me.
38 And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
39 He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.
40 He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet's reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man's reward.
42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.


Philippians 4:4-9 (NKJV)
4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I will say, rejoice!
5 Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Meditate on These Things
8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 9 The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

258. Is Jesus Enough?

Is Jesus enough for you? What if we never arrive? What if like Moses you wander in the desert for years only to have the Joshua generation be the one to enter the promised land? The land that was originally promised to Abraham 42 generations prior. 42 generations it took to fulfill that promise.  What if you’re generation 37, or 16, or 5 or 41. What if your family is this close to the breakthrough of the promised land that you’ve been praying for, and you give up now? What if you take the bait of the enemy and quit before you reach the finish line? Or worse yet, you give up, erase the efforts of every generation before you, and your kids or grandkids never meet Jesus at all.  This is your reminder…don’t fall for it. Same evil tactics different worldly package. All designed to kill, steal and destroy.  Satan doesn’t have to take your life if he can take your peace, wrap you in groundhog’s days, and have you spread that woe is me, lack of joy under a “Christian” label, like...

240. Back together again

  You know, it's hard when you're growing and walking things out in this life. We look at the world and we point out what's wrong, or what needs changed but we don't realize that the change within us is the most important change needed of all.  The Lord took me to a hallway today. The rooms were all white. In the first room I saw myself about 5 years old. I had crayons and paint and I was dancing to music, painting and coloring these beautiful pictures on the walls. I was praising the Lord and singing as loud as I could. In the second room I was a teenager. I was sitting at a desk. I had colored pencils lined up distinctly in a row, sorted by color. I was coloring on a piece of white paper making a neat picture of a hillside. On top of the hill sat a small white church with a view of the sunset. I had head phones on, jamming out the inside while my composure was quiet and still. In the third room I was in my 20's. I was seated at a dining table. I had a canvas and p...

120. Don’t get Distracted by the Shiny Things

I was listening to a bethel podcast this morning and I was blessed with a vision of a brick road. I’ll get to that in a bit but first I’ll brief you on the podcast. (link in the comments) The podcast had referenced the difference in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd heavens. It focused on making sure that we understand that we can view and discern all three realms. We are not meant to see only this one dimension. It was an eye opening teaching about making sure you ascend into the third heaven, seated with our Heavenly Father in order to find the right direction needed to conquer the battles in the other realms. That happens in prayer, if you let it. The three realms are this natural world (1st heaven), the spiritual warfare realm where the demonic dwells (2nd heaven), and the Lords kingdom (3rd heaven) where the enemy and all demonic forces have lost all authority have have zero power. I’ll have to learn more on all of that before I can actually elaborate in teaching, but I’ll tell you how this vi...
