WE ARE VICTORS IN CHRIST! THE LORD MIGHTY IN BATTLE!

I had a series of 3 dreams last night that I feel led to share with you:
Dream #1 - Dreamed I was in a sanctuary where the True Gospel was being preached. Someone had brought his mother w/ him and I happened to come nearby. She was all huffy, b/c she deemed her religious beliefs more correct than what she'd just heard about confession of sin, repentance and then inviting Jesus into our heart and lives. And then I looked her square in the eye and said very firmly, "If you do not take heed to what you just heard, then you have sealed your fate in hell." And then I walked away.

Dream #2: I was standing in the hallway listening to a conversation w/ three other people, one of whom confessed to being a Christian. Then the topic of Darwinism came up for discussion, and I turned and left the group. The man who claimed to be a Christian ran up to me and asking why I left the group. And I just told him that I was not listening to that hogwash....And I knew in my spirit that he knew in his spirit that I was right; which led to this man's conviction and repentance before God.

Dream #3 There were two men, one with a gun who intended to shoot and kill me. At the end, the man without the gun had bowed his heart before heaven, repented and asked Jesus to be his Savior - while the man with the gun fled.

Saints, we ARE in the last days and we need to be fully equipped with the sword of the Spirit in season and out, b/c there is so much nonsense flying around out there.  And we MUST be prepared at all times to put the enemy to flight; binding him and casting him out by the power in the Name of Jesus Christ and by the shed Blood of the Lamb! And then to pray the Holy Spirit into that situation. We are to bind the spirits of darkness over the unsaved and situations where the devil and his demons are causing problems, stress and strife in another Believer. We are to PRAY THE PRAYER OF BINDING AND LOOSING BY THE POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH AND BY THE SHED BLOOD OF THE LAMB!

Sometimes it is easy to say, "I will pray for you", and then forget to pray for them...when what they really need is a Holy Ghost filled prayer right now in Jesus' Name. We are so in need of sharing a rhema word and power filled prayer from the Holy Ghost to our Brothers and Sisters in Christ to encourage their faith and intercede for them when they are exhausted and need our faith; for a strand of three cords is not easily broken.

One of my Sisters in Christ was at a retreat and the leader said, "Look at your neighbor and tell them 'You Are About To Come Out." So I turned to my Sister who was just going through so much hell at the time, looked her square in the eye, and proclaimed, "You ARE about to come out!" She began to tear up, b/c she needed that rhema word from the Lord. Then a couple months later as I was praying for her, the Holy Spirit said, "You tell her that her breakthrough is just around the corner." Another rhema word given to her. And do you know, I think it was about two weeks, when her burdens, shackles and chains came off and she was praising the Lord from whom all blessings flow. Now, after coming through all that fire, she is a powerful woman of God, filled with the Holy Ghost who is victorious in Christ!

Cast out and break off those demons in the power of Jesus' Name and by the power of His Blood! And if you need someone to pray for you, ask God to help you in your time of trouble. "Behold, the Lord's hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot hear." Is. 59:1
Listen to this Gospel hymn the Holy Spirit wants you to hear and take into your spirit. 
He loves you so much and lifts you this day in His love.
Jesus, before we close today, I ask You to lay Your hands upon each of Your servants reading this posting.  I pray You anoint each person afresh and send Your rhema word into their life.  Thank You.  In Your blessed Name we pray.  Amen and Amen.  And we vow to give You all the praise, honor and glory.
God's Blessings to you this day,
Crista~
Num. 6:24-26

TIME'S UP!

Dear Blog Readers,

This is a long entry today. It is so serious, and you may want to print it out. It has to do with how the Lord has been warning His Church about His impending judgment and being right with Him. Please know that this message is not written to one person(s) or group, but to The Body of Christ; for we all have a responsibility and an accountability to walk rightly and holy before the Lord. We will stand, individually, before the Judgment Seat of Christ. We are all called to work out our salvation with fear and trembling - not trusting in our flesh to do the work, but walking in His Truth and His Spirit.

Before we go on however, let me say this, I truly believe that for those who are truly in Christ, this is the Church’s finest hour…for the Lord promises in Isaiah 60 that when great darkness increases, then shall His light also increase. Also, be encouraged by Ps. 27:1 “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid.”

Many in the Body of Christ have either gone through the fire, been going through it or will go through it.

Why? It is preparation for what is to come. It is purging us of what is not of Him so that we will walk in the fullness of Christ. But with that comes also the tearing down of the Towers of Babel…places built by men to serve their own selfish purposes while all the time purporting to be from God. God has much to say about leaders who should be feeding the flock and instead feed themselves. We continue to see and hear this lust for earthly goods perpetrated in the “prosperity doctrine“. The prosperity doctrine in all of it’s various interpretations is the modern day Pied Piper of deceit leading God‘s people to the abyss. (See Ezek. 34) (We heard a pastor once say, “Wouldn’t you love to have so much money in the bank that you had to transfer it from one bank to the other?”….And I ask you, “Is this what God says our Christianity is all about?????!!!!!” GOD HAVE MERCY!….BUT HE’S SAYING: “Time’s Up!”

It was on Monday, Jan. 3, that I awoke at 5 AM to the following dream:

I “heard” my husband violently shaking the front door...because it was locked…

RATTLE! RATTLE! RATTLE!!!!...And then I "heard" Steve shout to me, "Crista! Crista! Crista!"

When I awoke, I really thought he was in the room with me and hadn't gone to work....It took me a little while to get oriented to the fact that he was not home....

Then, three days later on Jan. 6, ...I had another dream:

Steve and I were together and it was told to us that in 5 weeks (Feb. 10th) my retirement benefits would expire....I panicked...and Steve said, "We will have to trust in the Lord to provide."

Both of these dreams indicate His grace (5 AM and 5 wks)...and He's been earnestly trying to get His wife's attention, but she's been asleep. At first, the door was locked so He had to violently shake it open to get our attention...and then once in, He will be shouting to wake up His Bride....

The “5 wks and your retirement benefits are over” have to do, I believe, with the fact that He's saying His time of grace (number 5) is done....He's given The Church time to acknowledge her sins, repent and turn from their wicked ways (2 Chron. 7:14-16)...but now He's saying, "TIME‘S UP!".…

And in the following dream the Lord through my friend, Connie, He is speaking directly to leaders in the Church, because He holds leaders more accountable. See posting:

http://dinnerwiththeking.blogspot.com/2010/12/warning-dream-and-interpretation.html

We have seen and will continue to see the Lord’s exposure of dirt and filth within leadership.

It is His Word which states that that which is done in darkness will be brought to light. (John 3:20-21)

We know that God is merciful. He gives us time and time and time again to repent and walk rightly before Him. But when His mercy is continuously met with a rebellious heart, then there comes a time for His firm line in the sand to be drawn…And His firm line is termed “Judgment”….

2 Peter 4:17-18 “For the time [has arrived] for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will [be] the end of those who do not respect or believe or obey the good news (the Gospel) of God? And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of the godless and wicked? [Prov. 11:31]

Now where is our Hope in all of this? It is in His righteousness…His holiness….allowing His Spirit to live and move and having His fullness in and through us; His vessels. Do we stand before Him in confidence; that our hearts do not condemn us? Or do we stand before Him knowing that we have been walking in rebellion? Are we seeking to justify our sin? Or are we asking Him to purge us of our sin? Do we want to be seen as holy and righteous before Him….or do we want to go out and partake of the filth and seek my own justification? Do we want to walk in the fruit of the Spirit….or the lusts of the flesh? Do we pray, “Lord, THY will be done, no matter what!”….Or do we pray, “Lord, this is what’s right for me…I know what’s best…Now, You do it.”

Beloved, hear the Word of the Lord:

Romans 13:11-14 “Besides this you know what [a critical] hour this is, how it is high time now for you to wake up out of your sleep (rouse to reality). For salvation (final deliverance) is nearer to us now than when we first believed (adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Christ, the Messiah). The night is far gone and the day is almost here. Let us then drop (fling away) the works and deeds of darkness and put on the (full) armor of light. Let us live and conduct ourselves honorably and becomingly as in the [open light of] day, not in reveling (carousing) and drunkenness, not in immorality and debauchery (sensuality and licentiousness), not in quarreling and jealousy, but clothe yourself with the Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) and make no provision for [indulging] the flesh [put a stop to thinking about the evil cravings of your physical nature] to [gratify its] desires (lusts).”

Determine this day….As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord! (Joshua 24:15)….For we are the house/the temple of the Living God.

I’ve included another dream and word received from the Lord from 2007 and 2008 that are appropriate to this message.

12/6/07
DREAM: House About to Be Brought Down:
Walking through this huge house which had the appearance of being very expensive, but in looking at the high ceiling I noticed that it appeared almost like a hard jell (one would think initially that it was glass), because it began to sag. Through the "jell" one could see all this crud crushing down upon the ceiling. Over to the left, one area gave way and a black trash bag emptied its contents of filthy clothes (rags) onto the floor. I watched as the high ceiling began to bulge even more from the weight of the junk piled high between the roof and the ceiling (that which was not visible to the eye). ~I was thankful that I was not in the market to purchase this home...but just going through it and looking....and I saw all that was about to "fall". ~Then I was in the basement of this same house (I think).....and I saw this older man (60-ish) doing something like working w/ tools....and then he made a comment about eating these white, fat snake-like things; kind of like "well, they're not to bad once you get used to them"....and not realizing that they were gross and NOT to eat them! And the basement was dark and slimy with bugs and snake things running around.

This is the condition of many churches today, and a soon coming "cave in" to the present "system"; people eating things that they have been programmed to believe are "good" for them when in reality they're harmful. The condition of this "house" was that the whole structure was about to collapse upon itself, because of what it had laid upon itself. It was its own "stuff" that was about to create the collapse. All the "stuff" is man's creation and the yokes put upon the sheep. They are the "programs" created by man in the name of the Lord to give the appearance of elegance and that all is right with the church, but in the end, they are responsible for its demise.

1/2/08 "Great Change Is Coming"
"Life as you know it is going to change. You are very comfortable right now, but I tell you the truth, Great Change Is Coming. I AM shaking all that can be shook. I AM shaking men's hearts. Who will trust Me to carry them through? Have I not said that judgment shall begin in the House of God first? Do not be surprised by what you shall see before you. I AM God! And men shall once again revere and fear My Name! Men shall fall on their faces before me. Yes, I am full of grace, mercy and compassion. BUT I AM ALSO THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE! My wrath have I reserved for those whom I have warned and yet have not heeded My warning! My wrath have I reserved for those shepherds who've abused My flock for their own gain; for greed in My Church is an abomination before Me. My compassion do I pour out on the unbeliever. Have I not said it is better to have a millstone hung around your neck and be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble? When those who are called by My Name cause the unbeliever, the little ones, the one whose faith is miniscule, to stumble because of their selfish greed, then My wrath is stirred!!
Then, I must take action where there is no repentance. I AM long-suffering, but enough is enough. I have seen the suffering of My People and the greed of the shepherds - the very ones who've been called to lay down their lives for My Sheep, and it causes Me to vomit! It is an abomination before Me! Think not that I do not see for My eyes roam to and fro throughout the earth to see if there is one righteous man/woman. Oh yes, there are many in My sight who are righteous, but it is not the ones who've been flaunted and do now flaunt themselves across the TV screen. Have I not said that I exalt the humble, but bring low the proud?
The proud are about to be brought low - in one sweep of My Mighty Right Hand. (In my spirit, I see God's hand sweep from left to right over America - from the southernmost tip of CA to the southernmost tip of FL.)
There are those who commit adultery with the world. My Church leaders have committed fornication with the political systems of the world! Take heed lest you fall! The time of My warnings have ended. Now, I shall bring vengeance upon those who have raped My Sheep for their own selfish gain and called it of Me."
(Ezek. 34:1-22, 1 Peter 3:12, 4:17-18, 5:2-3, 5-6, 2 Chron. 16:9, Matt. 18:6, Ps. 33:18, 34:15, Is. 65:11-15.

Over the month of December (2008) I have been receiving multiples of 7's in groups of 3's (Gifts of 21 candles total in Dec., Dinner bill of $17.77 and car odometer 166,777) I continue to seek the Lord for His message to me about this.

Be blessed in all ways as our hearts turn to Him.

Ever yours in Christ,

Crista

A Warning: Dream and Interpretation

A couple of weeks ago, a friend of mine (Connie Arney) shared the following dream that she'd had six years ago and asked if perhaps the Lord would give the interpretation as she'd been pondering this dream and had never received the interpretation. (The number six is significant, because it is the number of man/the flesh and reveals the prophetic nature of the Lord's message.)

I asked her for a copy of the dream, but by this time, Connie wasn't even sure if she'd written it down, much less find it in her journal....She told me that when she looked for it, the dream just "fell open in her lap". Praise God!

I'd written down her dream and was considering sending it on to another prophetically gifted friend..and went to bed; leaving my prayer before Him. In the morning when I sat down to have my time with Him, unexpectedly, He said, "Crista, I will give you the interpretation."

Connie wrote: I looked in my journal [skimpy as it is] and low and behold the dream was there. . . . .

We once owned a black lab [Katie] who loved to swim, jump off the dock with the kids, and retrieve to the shoreline anything thrown out into the lake for her [she would never bring anything to us--she had her own ideas].

The dream -

Katie was out in the water, not as far as to the end of the dock, when I threw a tennis ball for her to retrieve. She was fairly near shoreline--just far enough that she couldn't touch bottom. Katie was out a little further than where the ball landed and she took a couple strokes and grabbed for the ball when it suddenly sank [tennis balls don't sink]. I think she had the ball in her mouth for a second but then she grabbed for it again. She dove for the ball and never came up. I was in shock because she never came up for air or struggled and that she and the ball disappeared so fast. We searched the shoreline of the lake and asked neighbors if Katie washed up on their shoreline and there never was any sign of her ever again.

In the dream the way the ball sank seemed to be significant. It bobbed for just a second when it first hit the water but then sank so fast as Katie grabbed for it. I remember thinking in the dream, it was odd that I had a tennis ball and where did a tennis ball come from--maybe that was the wrong kind of ball to throw in the lake. And then Katie never coming up again as she was but a short distance out in the water when in reality labs are known for being water dogs, great swimmers--how could this be.

Interpretation received from the Lord 12/20/10 at 7:00 AM, EST.

"Crista, I will give you the interpretation....

Katie, her beloved - in this case represents My Beloved....All seemed safe - not too deep in the water....representing those who are in Christ, but not too deep...the dock nearby for safety...but docks are made out of wood. She was playing and running on the sand.

This represents those of My Beloved who think they are able to run on the doctrines of men (sand) and experience no consequences. All seems safe - a dock - but it is wooden - and I tell you the Truth, wood, hay and stubble shall be burned.

A tennis ball is not supposed to sink - but it represents those doctrines of men which are devised to be "played with" by My Church, but I tell you the Truth they shall return back to the pit of hell from which they came; for they come from the father of lies in the abyss.

As a dog returns to its own vomit, so does My Church who profess to be Mine return to their sins; thinking that I do not see - thinking that I Am not a jealous God; thinking that I condone promiscuity, homosexuality, gossip, slander, back-biting and the like; playing with My Word to promote their own selfish, perverted agendas.

But I tell you the Truth, they are lost and their lives spent on foolish pleasures shall be to their demise. It is not that I desire them to be lost - but it is that they prefer their play toy, their foolish idols to Me. They have been given over to a reprobate mind and are now lost dogs. There was a time they walked in the Light, but their hearts preferred the doctrines of men to The Truth of My Word and Who I Am.

I have said that he who is not for Me is against Me. Pastors today want to play with My Word and portray Me as Only Someone to make you feel good - Someone to bounce you up and down on My knee.

Yes, I love you with an everlasting love, but it is My desire that You present Me in the fullness of Who I AM.

I AM HOLY!

I AM HOLY!

I AM HOLY!

For I tell you the Truth, the reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord is the beginning and the principal and choice part of knowledge [its starting point and its essence]; but fools despise skillful and godly Wisdom, instruction and discipline. (Prov. 1:7, Amplified)

I tell you Truth, the role of the Holy Spirit is to convict the world of sin, and of righteousness and judgment (John 16:8) But I tell you the Truth, man has made Me into His image and it will bring many to ruin for only that which is built upon Christ shall last.

For Beware, the towers of Babel shall fall. Did I not tell say that judgment shall begin first in the house of God? (1 Peter 4:17-18 "For the time [has arrived] for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will [be] the end of those who do not respect or believe or obey the good news (the Gospel) of God? And if the righteous are barely saved, what will become of the godless and wicked?)

For I tell you the Truth, the time is NOW!

For I Am bringing My judgment upon the whore mongers. Pray that their souls will be saved."

Those of you who know me personally, know that primarily the Lord gives me words of encouragement. But there are times the Lord issues warnings and we do well to be wise and heed His warnings. This is not a game as some might assume it to be (indicated by the dog playing with the ball).

I heard someone say that a professing Christian that he knew was still justified before God even though this man was involved in fornication with prostitutes.

Church, God has never given us a license to sin in His Word! There is a penalty for sin and that penalty is death.

I commit to you that The Church today - especially in America is need of The Fire of God to purge the false doctrines of hell out of her!

Oh...that The Church would return to the holiness of God...Oh that we would be jealous for His Holiness and His Righteousness to abound!

Anyone can wear a T-shirt and a cap and a cross and paste a bumper sticker on their car...and sing, dance, raise their arms during worship...but it is what we do in our day to day lives that reveals the fullness of who we are in Christ and our relationship to Him...

James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ writes the following in Chapter 1:27 "External religious worship [religion as it is expressed in outward acts] that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction and need, and to keep oneself unspotted and uncontaminated from the world."

Abba Father, I come before You in the Name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. My heart is open before You. I stand naked before You in all things...heart, word, deed and motive. Lord, search me and know me, and see if there be any wicked way in me. Cleanse me of all unrighteousness. Forgive me, Father. Empower me, I pray, with Your Holy Spirit to live a life which is holy and pleasing to You.

Ever yours in Christ,

Serving Him by serving others~

I AM SHAKING ALL THAT CAN BE SHOOK

This prophetic word from the Lord came to me in February, which I originally posted on Open Heaven....It is now being posted here for others to be able to reference it. Many in the Body of Christ are experiencing this process in some way, shape of form....
No matter what we're experiencing, He Who Promised IS Faithful and True....and He uses all things together for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purpose.


2/28/2010
I AM SHAKING ALL THAT CAN BE SHOOK
Crista Simmons
I AM shaking all the can be shook. The earthquakes, the events occurring in My Body -
I AM shaking all that can be shook.

Did I not tell you this would happen? (Heb. 12:26-29, 1 Peter 4:17-19) And yet you think that you are exempt; that this is some strange thing happening to you. I tell you the truth, my true prophets have already gone through this time of testing and you esteemed them not; but I have. I saw their suffering in the wilderness. I was there with my prophets in their gardens of Gethsemane…many times over they have been to My Garden of Suffering. Yet, in My Garden is My stream in the desert; for I Who Promised AM Faithful and True. (Is. 58:11) I never leave you nor forsake you. (Heb. 13:5)

I Am telling you, the earthquakes in the natural are a manifestation of My shaking in the spirit realm. I told you that it would first begin in My House. Unless you go through the shaking yourself, how will you lead the unbeliever through their time of shaking?

How will you teach them to trust Me in the shaking yet to come if you, yourself, do not learn to trust Me even deeper in your own shaking? For I tell you the truth, I Am shaking you to your own nakedness in that you let go of all that is not of Me, and you will have a clearer, deeper knowledge of Me. (For My People perish for lack of knowledge.)

Remember when Peter and Silas were in prison? I brought the earthquake to open the jail cells, and I set them free. (Acts 16:25-26) That is what I Am doing, My Beloved. I Am Is Shaking you loose! I Am exposing and uprooting the foundations upon which you stood that were not of Me, so that when you get through all this, you’ll proclaim, There is Only One on Whom I stand - JESUS CHRIST - MY ROCK!”

Beloved, you cannot stand on your positions in life. You cannot stand on your rank or bank account or the things I’ve allowed you to have over the years. No Beloved. I Am stripping you bare that you stand on Me and Me, Alone.

Why do I allow the fire? To purge away the chaff and the dross. To purify and cleanse you even more than you are now. Remember that I Am in the fire with you as I was with the three Hebrew young men. (Daniel 3:19-28) Remember also that I allowed the fire to be intensified seven times hotter, but it did not singe a hair upon their heads…and there was one who appeared as the Son of Man in there with them. I have not left you nor forsaken you, Beloved. All of this is for your own good and for My glory. For have I not said that all thing work together for good to those who love Me and are called according to My purpose?

I shall never leave you nor forsake you; for I love you with an everlasting love - with a love that goes deeper than your deepest trial. Try Me in this and see if I Am not deeper still. Deeper than your deepest perceived need. I Am deeper still. I AM YOUR DEEPEST NEED.

Beloved, I AM the plumb line by which everything else is measured. (Zech. 4:8-10)
It is I who established the very foundations of the earth. It is I Who said, “Upon this Rock shall I build My Church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.”

Unless the Lord builds the House, they that labor, labor in vain. (Psalm 127:1) So in your desire to build My House, I Am shaking loose everything which is not of Me so that what is left is pure Rock. I have said that My House shall be a House of Prayer. I AM THE LORD, and I change not. My Word is from everlasting to everlasting.

Do not be surprised at the fiery trial which you are now experiencing, but rejoice in
My Glory which shall be revealed and rejoice that you are partaking of My sufferings.
(1 Peter 4:12-13, Romans 8:17-18)

As I allowed Satan to try Job (Job 1:6-12), so do I allow the trials to draw you deeper into Me. I Am the cleft in the Rock. Hide in Me, Beloved. (Song of Solomon 2:14)

Come to Me all who are weary and heavy burdened, and I will give you rest. (Matt. 11:28-30)
Come, My Love. Come and find Me Deeper Still. (Job 42:5, Rom.8:18-39, Eph. 3:16-21)

THERE IS A CHANGING OF THE GUARD

THERE IS A CHANGING OF THE GUARD!
This past Sunday while changing my clothes after church, the Lord spoke and said, “There is a changing of the guard! The old is gone, the new is come.” (Is. 43:18-19)

“I’m changing leadership and bringing forth the new guard - not because the old guard did a bad job, but now it is time to bring forth the new with renewed and fresh anointing for all I have in store. This new guard; birthed of The Spirit - not by might nor power, but by My Spirit. Birthed for such a time as this.

Let me say that everyone has their place in My Body. All are precious in My sight. But I Am speaking specifically to leadership - those whom I’ve called and anointed to lead - clothed in My robes of righteousness to lead in this final hour. These leaders shall be clothed in meekness and humility; gentleness and love. They will have My Shepherd’s heart; yet be bold as a lion. Out of their meekness, mercy, gentleness, love, compassion, humility and kindness they extend to others; especially to the lost and the least esteemed of society, they shall be ministering unto Me - for My yoke is easy and My burden is light.

What is holiness and righteousness? It is loving as I Am Love. Yes, I call you to be set apart; to be set apart from the world - to love your enemies, to bless those who curse you, to love the lost - for how will they know unless you show them My love?

Remember those to whom I said were white-washed tombs were also the very ones over whom I wept - O Jerusalem, Jerusalem.

On the Cross I asked The Father to forgive them for they knew not what they did. I said this to show you the Way of perfect love which casts out all fear. I spoke this out loud so you would hear and know The Way of Love; My Way.

You know that I was as a Lamb led to slaughter and opened not My mouth. But on the Cross, I cried out. I cried out, “Father! Father! Why have You forsaken Me?” I know what it is like to feel forsaken, and I tell you the Truth, I shall never ever, no not ever, leave you or forsake you. There is no pit too deep that I am not deeper still.

I cried out, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” And I cried out, “It is finished.” I had shown you THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. For My Way is the Way of the Cross. Lay it all down for the sake of your enemies. Love and forgive as you have seen Me do. Bless your enemies, I say. Bless them - for by so doing, you do not know who shall be compelled to come to Me and be saved from the pit of hell. My Children, love not only in word and tongue, but in deed and in truth.

These are the leaders I am raising up today - The ones who’ve been the least esteemed, because they know My love for the lost. They have been forgiven much, and they extend My love, mercy, forgiveness and redemption to a lost and dieing world. They have My Shepherd’s heart to go out and find the one who is lost, so that which is lost shall be found. And Beloved, I tell you the truth, there are so many who are Mine who are lost right now. Wandering aimlessly….hurt and wounded. It is My love, My compassion and My mercy which shall bind up their wounds as The Balm of Gilead.

Yes, I AM changing the guard to those who walk in My Love. Beloved, I love you with an everlasting love, and I desire no man be lost, but all come to repentance and restoration to Me. But how will they know unless they hear and experience Me through My Body? I tell you, My People perish for lack of true knowledge of Me as Redeemer and the Lover of their soul.

O Beloved, I AM changing the guard to those who love out of a pure heart for:
Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God;
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God;
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth;
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy;
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Amen.

His Encouragement - His Promises

Sometimes we all just need encouragement don't we? Me, too~

My heart was so blessed by what the Lord shared with my friend Becky,

that I pray you are equally blessed.

Only the Lord knows what each one of us faces...day to day...and all the dry, dusty deserts we've crossed by His Spirit...and the tempests He's taken us through...

I don't know what you're dealing with in your life,

but I know the things I've been through in mine lately...

and the Lord's word and encouragement through Becky made me cry....

There are two postings...so please be sure to read through to the end.

From His heart to yours~

Love always,

Crista

I AM About To Give You Your Portion
By Becky Porter

As you align with My will, you will begin to see My blessings unfold in your life.

Rejoice, for your deliverance is at hand. I have some mountain peaks for you to climb, and I will be waiting for you at the top, with flag in hand, proclaiming your victory and rejoicing with you for all that you have accomplished and overcome.

You have had much sadness and sorrow in your life, but I am about to give you beauty for ashes and joy instead of mourning and praise instead of heaviness. The mountains in your life will become as plains – I will level all that stands in your way. Rejoice, for your heart’s desires are about to unfold – ALL of them! Begin again, anew and afresh – a new page in life. Turn the page and don’t look back - old things have passed away, behold, all things have become new.

When a car’s tires are out of alignment it affects many other parts of the car and causes it not to function at its best – things rattle and shake that are not supposed to, you may want to go one direction, but your car pulls in the opposite direction, so you are constantly battling to get it to stay in a straight line, your tires will wear unevenly, and your driving experience is just not as pleasant as it once was, but once things are brought back into alignment, everything flows and functions smoothly, just like it is supposed to, and once again it becomes a joyful experience to drive your car.

I am going to bring some things back into alignment in your life that have been misaligned. It is similar to when a person goes to a chiropractor for an adjustment when their neck and spine are out of alignment. The adjustment causes everything to once again function properly - nerves are no longer pinched and the pain ceases. When a chiropractic adjustment is first made there is often some temporary pain and discomfort for a day or two, and then you soon notice that all of the pain is gone and you feel wonderful again. Know that any temporary pain you may experience will be well worth it for the health and wholeness that await you on the other side of the adjustment and realignment.

I am about to take you on the adventure of your life. Enjoy the ride, for we will be traveling together and we are going to cover a lot of territory in a short amount of time. A year from now when you look back, you will be amazed at how far you have come in such a short time, for your life is going to look quite different than it does now.

I hear the Lord saying, “In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.”

Isaiah 30:15 NKJV

For thus says the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel: “ In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and confidence shall be your strength."

I am giving you revelation that you need. I am revealing things that you need to complete your journey and to help others complete theirs. There is much more to come, so buckle your seatbelt and enjoy the ride, for we are going to see many things on this journey – it will be like going on a safari – you will see all kinds of things you have never seen – it will be a very enlightening and enjoyable experience and you will learn MUCH along the way!

You are in a season of restoration and harvest. I am restoring all that the locusts and canker worm have eaten in your life, and I am going to open the windows of heaven and pour abundant blessings in, upon, and through your life. You will be as a never ending fountain of blessings for others to drink at – a well that will never run dry – for it is My Living Waters that sustain you and cause you to be a place where others can be nurtured and sustained. Keep loving them through Me, keep looking at them through My eyes and see the finished product, not where they are at right now. Love them to wholeness - don’t give up on them, no, never, never give up.

I will reveal the secret and hidden things to you – things that will astonish, mesmerize, and amaze you - nuggets of truth that I have hidden in My Word that you have never seen before – all will be laid bare as I make it known to you.

Your season of suffering has come to an end. It is time to rejoice for I am about to give you your portion – your long awaited portion that you have looked for and sought after and wondered if you would ever see – you will - you will! Even now I am clearing the path before you and moving rocks and boulders out of your way. Doors that have stood staunchly closed and frozen in place will suddenly swing wide for I have oiled them with My glory for this appointed time and season of your life. Countless lives will be touched, healed, delivered and set free as I do my work in, and through you. Get ready, for you are about to be launched into your destiny at full throttle.

Don’t look back – the past is the past - leave it there - it is dead and gone – you are entering into a new season of your life. The past is full of dead men’s bones, but the future I have for you is full of life and abundance - My Living Waters are full of life, liberty, health, wealth, and provision.

You will see things in your lifetime that you never dreamed would be possible, but you will be living it and experiencing it, and it will be YOUR life. Watch, as I unfold My Kingdom before you. Watch!

I have given you the keys of My Kingdom. Place the key in the lock before you and watch the door spring open – it has been waiting for you to place the key in the lock, and all of heaven will be rejoicing as you enter this next door I am about to open for you. One step at a time, one day at a time - let Me guide you every step of the way. Be in tune with Me and be in step with Me. Obey Me when I prompt you – don’t miss any opportunity I present before you. As you step into sync and timing with Me, you will be amazed at how everything falls into place so perfectly and smoothly, just like a syncopated clock or a beautifully choreographed and orchestrated Waltz. Let My music (the music of heaven), move you into new territories and domains, and take dominion, for I have given you all power and authority over the enemy. Use the keys of the Kingdom to walk in My power and authority. I have placed the enemy under your feet – walk in it and live it – it will serve you well - remember, you do not stand alone – I stand with you.

Isaiah 61:3 NKJV - To console those who mourn in Zion, to give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.

Luke 10:19 NKJV - Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

Joel 2:25 NKJV - So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.

2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV - Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.

Luke 3:5-6 NKJV - Every valley shall be filled and every mountain and hill brought low; the crooked places shall be made straight and the rough ways smooth; and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

My Long Awaited Promises Are Coming
By Becky Porter

Do you hear the rumbling? Do you feel the shaking? Things are beginning to shift and unfold all around you. Soon you will catch a glimpse of My long awaited promises coming into view, just like the first signs of life that come forth when a newly sprouted seed pushes its fresh green sprouts through the hard ground. It can also be compared to a woman giving birth who has been in labor for many hours and has been pushing and pushing, when suddenly she feels a great sense of relief when her baby’s head finally comes forth because the most difficult part is over, and the rest of the birthing process is very quick and easy as the baby is born moments after this occurs.

You have pushed and pushed until you felt you had no strength left, but your pushing will soon be rewarded when the beautiful, healthy baby arrives. Your baby will be sure to let you know it has arrived as it takes it’s first breath on it’s own and it’s first cry can clearly be heard. As with any new baby, there is some clean up required before the full beauty can be seen, and then it’s beautiful, fresh, soft and new baby skin is revealed, and a person can see all of the intricate, delicate, and wondrous parts of that baby, knitted together and functioning in perfection as God created it to do! And as any new mother knows - when her baby arrives she is required to spend quite a bit of time tending to her new baby, nurturing it, watching over it and taking care of it, but also enjoying the process of watching it grow and mature. As time goes on the baby becomes more and more self-sufficient and is able to do more on it's own, and it does not require as much attention, and eventually that baby grows to full maturity and becomes a fully functioning adult that can take care of itself.

Know that I am well pleased with you, and I say “Job well done!” Thank you for your obedience and sacrifice, and for putting My needs and the needs of others before your own. Your obedience and sacrifice are going to pay off in ways that you cannot imagine, and ways that will far surpass your deepest heart’s desires. Many are coming to stand with you – you will not stand alone. I am bringing many like-minded warriors and servants to stand with you. You will have more helping hands than you know what to do with, just like the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends of a new mother step in to help her with all of her newly acquired responsibilities. I will supply your needs even before you ask. You are entering into a “time warp.” Suddenly things are going to pick up speed, and what took months and years to complete in times past, will now take days and weeks, and what took days and weeks, will now take seconds and minutes. You will be surprised and amazed at how easy things are about to become, and at how much will be accomplished in a very short amount of time.

Rejoice, for your heart’s desires are about to unfold! Shout, for I have given you the city!
I hear these words: “God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”

Hebrews 11:6 NKJV
But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Harvest Time

This year has begun with the gunshot at the starting line which marks our "off and running". The Lord continues to bring home His message to my heart that "It is Time". And He confirmed this by having my sons give me a new watch for Christmas....because He told my oldest son, "It is time."

My old watch is a "Relic"...and I like the interwoven silver/gold-plating on this watch. But it is symbolic in that a "relic" is out of the past...and definitely indicates the old, ancient things. The new watch is silver and is a "Caravelle" Bulova. What we didn't know was the meaning of "Caravelle" until Christmas morning when I opened my watch.

A "Caravelle" is a noun. Nautical Any of several types of small, light sailing ships, especially one with two or three masts and lateen (Latin) sails used by the Spanish and Portuguese in the 15th and 16th centuries. I cannot tell you all of the significance of this, but I can tell you that the ships represent ministry and movement on the seas which I believe are indicative of His ministry supported on the sea of His Holy Spirit. (Mid-December marked the submission to the IRS for our 501c3 ministry application.)

So, this morning during my time with the Lord, He answered a question of mine in this way. I know that it is not only for my husband and I personally, but how He is speaking to others who have been waiting and waiting for His Time.

May He bless your heart with His words.

"It is a new time for you. I have prepared you for this time. You have sown My Word into you and now it is harvest time, and I alone know where the harvest is ripe for harvest. Not every crop is harvested at the same moment/time. Everything in your life I am bringing together for such a time as this, and you shall be amazed, My love, for it is I Who do the work-not you.

I have orchestrated it all; for it is not by might nor power of your own, but all that I do in and through you.

Seek first My Kingdom, listen in ways which I will speak to you and obey as I tell you, and I shall bring the harvest.

Just as the farmer prepares the ground, plants the seed, waters the seed, removes the weeds and then waits for the fullness of the seed to mature, so do you and I do the same. You cannot make the seed grow. You can only provide the most conducive (best) conditions for its growth, but you cannot control the sun, temperature or rain. You do what I say and leave the rest to Me. And when the field is ripe for harvest, I will take you there for I know where the fields are ripe for the picking.

Some harvest will come as a result of My seed planted inside your own heart (that you've sown in your time with Me), and some of the harvest will be a result for see sown through your mouth and actions, and some seed will produce harvest from the work others have done. You shall Glory (rejoice) in My hand and heart.

Be of good cheer for I see every tear drop you have sown. I have heard your prayers. And I alone know THE TIME for what, all that I have ordained through you; My Precious Vessel; prepared by Me for such a time as this. I AM a REWARDER of those who diligently seek Me. It is not your words, but your heart that I desire. It is the integrity of your heart and life before Me; for I alone discern the motives of the heart; for what is impossible with man is possible with Me. Nothing is hidden from My sight. All is naked before Me. As Jesus hung naked on the Cross, so are you naked before Me. Every thought, word, deed and motive is naked before Me. I see the seeds inside of you and I see the fruit of that seed.

Bring your heart before Me, and I will root out all that which is contrary to My Spirit, My Word and My Will. And after I have removed it for you, then shall My love come and fill these places, too. All I do, I do for your good, because I love you with an everlasting love and My delight is in you.

The old is gone; the new is here. Rejoice and be glad in it. Your Redeemer draws nigh."

Matthew 5:5 "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth."

Psalm 66:10, 12 "For You, O God, have tested us; You have refined us as silver is refined."..."We went through fire and through water; but You brought us out to rich fulfillment."

Luke 12:2-3 "For these is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops."

Mark 4:26-29 "And He said, "The kindom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, and should sleep by night and rise by the day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. For the earth yields crops by itself, first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head. But when the grain ripens, immediately he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."

Genesis 14:18 "Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son."

Isaiah 18-19 "Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing. Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."

Deep Darkness and Then His Glory

The following is further revelation re: Dec. 13th dream posted on blog:

I was driving in my car and entered an area where there were no lights. I thought that it was just temporary, but soon realized that I was in a section of a neighborhood where there was absolutely NO electricity. The neighborhood was as black as pitch, and there were no headlights on my car. I was driving in utter blackness. I had no concept of knowing if I was on the right or wrong side of the road, and became afraid that I could be hit by an oncoming car; so I stayed as far to the right as possible...At times, I could see a faint hint of the outline of the road and almost a type of barrier between the edge of the road and the yards in front of the homes in the neighborhood. It seemed as if I drove for a very long time...and I was alone in the car. I slowed my car way down to a crawl, once I realized the blackness was continuing, but I continued to drive.
And then, as quickly as I'd driven into the black section, the scene changed to one of total light! It was a brilliant light...as if white Christmas lights sparkled from every house! White lights sparkled and even the sky was lit with the brilliance. End of dream.

In this dream there is a time of great, great darkness coming....and people will fear, because of the darkness and the great shaking. (Luke 21:25-28)
There are those who say they are Christians, yet they will shout in bitterness and anger at God, "HOW COULD YOU LET THIS HAPPEN? YOU ARE A LOVING GOD! WHERE ARE YOU?!

I HATE YOU! LET ME DIE!" There will be those, who take the suggestion of Job's wife, and will curse God and die.....And then there will be others, who will choose to look to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith...and will say, "No matter how deep You allow me to go, You are deeper still."

After the period of great, great darkness, will come His Glory for those who stay the course to walk in Him, in His righteousness (by staying to the right side of the road)....

Jesus questioned in Luke 18:8, "....Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?"

Faith in what/whom? Faith in faith?...or FAITH IN GOD THAT NO MATTER WHAT - HE WHO PROMISED IS FAITHFUL AND TRUE!

THAT NO MATTER WHAT - HE WILL NEVER EVER, NO, NOT EVER, LEAVE US OR FORSAKE US!

THAT IF GOD BE FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US!

THAT NO MATTER HOW DEEP AND DARK THE SITUATION/CIRCUMSTANCES OF LIFE BECOME - THAT HE IS DEEPER STILL!!!
There is a sentence from Corrie's book, "The Hiding Place" that jumped off the page while reading it, "But...if the Gospels were truly the pattern of God's activity, then defeat was only the beginning. I would look around at the bare little cell and wonder what conceivable victory could come from a place like this."

There is a perverse teaching that we can control our circumstances and the devil just through faith, and for a Christian to experience suffering and trouble indicates a lack of faith.

Brother, Sister...this is simply not scriptural! If we are walking in the Light as He is in the Light, then we can have confidence before Him that whatever He allows us to experience in this life that He will take us through it. His Ways are higher than our ways...His thoughts higher than our thoughts. Who are we to think that we have God's purposes and ways all figured out?

As the Holy Spirit tells us through James 1, we are to count it all joy when we fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of our faith produces patience, and that through the trial we are to ask for His wisdom in how to get through it...asking in faith, knowing that God will give us His wisdom. I tell you the truth, without trials and suffering, there is absolutely no depth to the message...It is empty and superficial and hits the heart with hardly a discernable "tink".

But where there's been darkness and brokeness, oh my! An arrow from God pierces our heart! For out of the greatest brokeness and darkness comes the greatest of God's glory.

There is a time coming, where deep, deep darkness shall cover the whole earth...and it will seem as if God has removed Himself from our very person and fear will try to overtake us...but we must set our faces like flint...to walk in His Righteousness and choose every minute of every day, WHOM we shall serve....for when we do...and go through this earthly death....HIS GLORY SHALL ARISE WITH HEALING IN HIS WINGS! As we go through these end times, we are to seek Him first and foremost and to love Him and do what He commands us and to love as He is love. Faith and love work together.

Isaiah 40:5 "The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of the Lord has spoken."

Malachi 3:16-18

"Then those who feared theLord spoke to one another, and the Lord listened and heard them, so a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the Lord and who meditate on His name. They shall be Mine, says the Lord of hosts, on the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him. Then you shall discern between the righteous and the wicked, between the one who serves God and one who does not serve Him."

Malachi 4:2-3

"'But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings;

and you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves. You shall trample the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day that I do this', says the Lord of hosts."

Looking unto Jesus, my Friend~

Jesus-The Lion of Judah Fights Against His Enemies!

Beloved,

I rec'd the following from my friend, Pris. This is a message the Lord gave Dieter who lives in Germany. What is important to understand is that Mr. Obama is bringing God's judgment against the U.S., because of the choices he's making against Israel. God was serious when He said He would bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse her. Gen. 12:3

The Lion of Judah fights against His enemies!

Zech 12:3 And it shall happen in that day that I will make Jerusalem a very heavy stone for all peoples; all who would heave it away will surely be cut in pieces, though all nations of the earth are gathered against it. NKJV

Loved brothers and sisters in Yeshua, Today I received several revelations from GOD, about which I may only publish however the latter. I saw Yeshua standing in the sky as a the Lion of Judah with the Scepter of His rule as the true King of Israel before me. HE roars against His enemies, particularly against those, which are against Israel & approach to suppress her and to make her bend to their dictates.

Joel 3:16 NKJV The Lord also will roar from Zion, And utter His voice from Jerusalem;

The heavens and earth will shake; But the Lord will be a shelter for His people, And the strength of the children of Israel.

Afterwards I saw clearly president Obama on a high wooden stilts with a Staff & saw, how the Lion of Judah with a blow of His right paw, which smashed Obama's right stilt, so that the stilt broke and president Obama broke away from being on the right page . Thereupon I saw a large and majestic white-headed eagle, which represents the coat of arms animal of the USA in the sky.

The eagle tried to fly as it used to, into the heights. On its flight I saw upward the fact that the wing of its right side was injured, and was carried like a brace. Thus it was weakened and did not achieve dominating strength and flight altitude, like it was used to doing. Where it went he could not control. With each new flight test, at a height to try to win, it stopped after a short time on the right side, in order to float in circling flights downward & again downward. Its strength was broken.

Ezek 30:6 NKJV 'Thus says the Lord: "Those who uphold Egypt shall fall, And the pride of her power shall come down. From Migdol to Syene those within her shall fall by the sword," Says the Lord God.

This revealing says: GOD does not support the USA any longer through

Obama's reign!

I heard a voice say: "In such a way it is issued that each nation against Israel and its true ruler rises!" And to the USA: "Also you, who were large and feared in the nations of the earth, will become strengthless now. Because of your constant pride and arrogance you are made small!"

He will no more support those, who strike holy Israel, only those who will rely in truth & on the Son of Man, "

Written, 31 July 2009

Isa 10:20 NKJV And it shall come to pass in that day that the remnant of Israel, And such as have escaped of the house of Jacob, Will never again depend on him who defeated them, But will depend on the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

President Obama's cometful high-altitude flight is stopped first! Instead of "Yes we CAN" He must admit now "Yes we can't!" Whoever attacks the existence Israel, in the long run through GOD's intervention will be stopped. An important excerpt from revealing me GOD gave here again: His right paw, smashed the right stilt of Obama's so that the stilt broke and Obama broke away from being on the right page as president".

Read the cutout of an article of of FOCUS ON-LINE ONES from 17 August 2009 as its one which GOD confirmed to me on the 31. July 2009. The health reform was one of the stilts (the domestic large-scale project of Obama's) which now literally away-broke - As I was seeing , it was allowed.

FOCUS ONLINE vom 17.8.09: "Health reform: Obama nicks!"

"The health reform is the domestic large-scale project Obamas. But it becomes ever more questionable, how much of the noble plans remains. Now the US president under the pressure of his opponents had to bend ."

Von EIP (European Info press) On August - 5 - 2009

JERUSALEM - in Israel hangs a poster with the text: "Obama! Let My People Grow. "With this modified sentence from the Bible opposite the Egyptian Pharaoh "Let My People Go! " (Let my people pull) too "Let My People GROW! - let my people grow!" protests one in Israel against the demand of US president Obama to impose over the Jewish settlements a suspension of growth and building work. Netanjahu protests always again for wanting the American pressure to stop, for not giving way, and the building of apartments in the settlements. But the numbers of the Israelis, which will live in Judea and Samaria was reported, & the fact that Netanjahu introduced unofficially a suspension of building work because new building licenses are not being given, & this is why new projects remain unbuilt.

The Time Is Short

Dear Saints,
On May 2nd, I posted another storm dream. It was within one month of the previous dream and the storm was closer.

Since posting that dream, I have received an interpretation which I believe is accurate. However, there are some issues that I'd like to review:
1. God promises to protect those who are His. Psalm 91, Psalm 23
2. This is a message to The Church to wake from her slumber. There are those in the church who are oblivious to the present times, and we are to warn The Church.
3. God warns us for our protection. Just as we watch the TV weather reports regarding approaching storm information for our protection, the Lord gives us warnings in the Spirit so that we are able to prepare and be about His Kingdom business and we make spiritual preparations.
4. The recurring message is this: THE TIME IS SHORT! I have heard this expressed through other ministries and prophetic words. Our pastor said the same to our congregation during his message yesterday. Saints, THE TIME IS SHORT! Saints, the Lord could return to rapture His Church at any moment. All has been fulfilled for the rapture of the Church to take place.
5. God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. Therefore, our response is not be be fear, but to walk in the Spirit...warning the Church and sharing Jesus with the lost.
6. God states that the shaking of all things will happen, but that there is one thing that shall not be shaken - His Kingdom! (Hebrews 12:26b-29) And saints, we continue to look to Jesus, the Author and Finisher of our faith.

The person through whom the Lord sent the dream interpretation is Sue Love, and I thank her for her allowing me to post what she sent. Her blog site is: http://www.christianforums.com/blogs/u158768/ and she posts her dreams and visions at: http://www.christianforums.com/f563/

DREAM:
~I was talking on the phone and looked out my back (south) window. Everything was calm around me at the time. The person on the phone was warning me about this storm. I couldn't tell from the stillness of the air. At first I had thought it was only black, thurnderstorm clouds, but the storm was so wide that I had to go outside to get a better view. ~It was then that I realized the magnitude of this horrendous, impending disaster - AN F-5 TORNADO! I knew I had to get down into the basement, but first had some work to do, and it had to be done quickly. I couldn't find one of my sons. Calling to my husband, I found him already in the basement, and joined him there. Our basement was stocked with supplies. ~All of a sudden, I heard the voice of my oldest son, and opened the sliding door above me to call out to him. He stood outside a friend's house talking to him; oblivious to the storm behind him. I warned him and then awoke.

INTERPRETATION:
"Oftentimes, talking on the phone has to do with communications with God, i.e. prayer. A window is often a symbol of revelation knowledge, so it could be that the Lord is showing you that is is Him revealing this to you as a result of your prayers to Him. God is definitely warning of a "storm" to come, but it could be in many different forms - financial, sichness, natural or unnatural disasters, war, tribulation and the one world order perhaps. Whatever it is, it is going to be of tremendous magnitude and it is going to take a lot of people by surprise because they are living at ease and don't think anything really bad is ever going to happen.

Air has to do with breath of life, so stillness can also mean that there is a deadness in the air spiritually speaking, which is why God is going to bring this "storm", i.e. this act of divine judgment against His people in order to wake them up spiritually. The work to do, I believe, is to tell as many people about Jesus. It has to be done quickly, because TIME IS REALLY SHORT (my caps).....

I believe the Lord is showing you that you need to warn the sons of our country; warn our brothers and sisters that God is going to judge America, that it is going to be widespread, beyond belief, and that TIME IS REALLY SHORT (my caps). God was having you warning your son in your dream and he was oblivious of the dangers ahead. This describes so much of America, even the church in America who has gotten lulled into sleep by the whole entertainment philosophy of how to do church. God is calling out for those who will stand up in these difficult times and will say "Yes" in being willing to warn as many as possible and to share Jesus with as many as possible before this "Storm" hits.".....

Shaking and Transitioning

Dear Saints,
God is indeed setting the stage for great shaking...a great "storm" of His choosing which shall cause all that can be shaken to be shaken. God is wanting His Church to be prepared and to warn others in the Church. Saints, we are indeed to be about Our Father's business and not let the little foxes spoil the vine. In the following word the Lord gave me in January of '06, I sensed He was revealing that particular year to us, personally and corporately to the church. I can tell you that for my husband and I, we encountered intense shaking for the next 15 months...and it happened on all fronts...church, friendships, family issues; both mine and Steve's....family deaths and a couple from the nursing home where we minister...6 deaths in 10 mos and family financial issues on both sides.
Are we ready Church for what God is preparing to take us through?
We need to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches and not what our itching ears want to hear....We are to seek His Wisdom...His Prudence....in all matters.

"There will be great shaking and transitioning (in 2006), but you shall stand."
Then I saw in my spirit what looked to be a miner panning for gold. God is shaking all that can be shaken, and the gold that survives are the ministries which have come through the time of testing. I could see all sand/gravel/dirt in this pan, and the gold began to rise; that which one could not initially see, was indeed among all the rest and began to rise to the top. These are the ones who have come forth as pure gold. They have been tried and tested, yet they have stood the test. This is the Pure Bride of Christ. These are they who've stood in the fire and allowed the Lord to do His Work in them. These are the one's who've gone through the Refiner's Fire.

Then the Lord began to speak again:

"The Lord says, I shall reveal them in (2006). There are those who think they are gold, but they are the tares. I have given them time to repent, for I Am Merciful. But now is the time for the separation, because I Am also Judge of the whole earth. I and I Alone judge the hearts of men; men who have called themselves Mine and yet seek after their own advancement calling it Me. This is a defilement before the Lord and My anger burns against them.

In this they have taken My Name in vain; calling what has benefited them as from Me, but their hearts are far from Me. I will no longer tolerate this in My Church. I have said, and I say now, Today is the Day of Salvation. Humble yourselves and repent for the Day of Judgment is at hand. Man no longer fears My fury. But I tell you the Truth, "I AM THE LORD! I AM THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE!

Let him who steals, steal no more! Those who call themselves my shepherds have stolen from their sheep, and I will no longer tolerate it; for My anger burns greater against them than against the heathen. For their perverse and selfish, greedy nature has turned aside the very ones I have been calling to Me. I have seen and I have heard the cries of My people; My sheep, and I will no longer tolerate the perversion which has continued in those leaders who continually harden their hearts before Me.

Know that I AM merciful. I have given them time to repent, but they have preferred earthly riches to the riches of My Kingdom and seeking My heart and My Ways. They worshipped Me with their lips, but their hearts have been far from Me. When I have manifested Myself in their midst, it was because of My great Love for My Sheep; for My Sheep hear My Voice, and I AM the Good Shepherd who laid down His life for His Sheep - My Sheep. I have heard the cries of My Sheep. My ears have been attentive to their call, and now I come like the deer on the hills. I descend like the eagle to pluck My Sheep from the jowls of the wolves. Let the Spirit and the Bride say, "Come, Lord Jesus, Come."

You shall see My Glory, for to those who do not glory in the flesh, but only in Me, shall I reveal My Glory.

I Am not slow to act, but it seems slow in men's hearts who yearn for Me, but I have given those who call themselves Mine time to repent. I have tried the hearts of men to see those who ARE Mine. Only those who are of Me will stand in this last hour. All others will fall away. I will only now reveal Myself and entrust to those who have stood the test, the greater works that I have promised.

In my spirit, I see an hourglass, and the sand has run through.

The time of My Mercy has ended regarding the leaders who've not repented. It is a grievous thing to fall under the judgment Hand of the Lord. Behold, I come with a two-edged sword in My mouth. My mercy and compassion have I reserved for My flock.

Jer. 23:18-20 (Amp) "For who among them has stood in the council of the Lord, that he should perceive and hear His word? Who has marked His word [noticing and observing and giving attention to it] and has [actually] heard it? Behold, the tempest of the Lord has gone forth in wrath, a whirling tempest; it shall whirl and burst upon the heads of the wicked. The anger of the Lord shall not turn back until He has executed and accomplished the thoughts and intents of His mind and heart. In the latter days you shall consider and understand it perfectly."
Ezekiel 34
