~With permission, I am posting a dream given to a family member and Brother in Christ, Dave Hiemstra. His wife, Kathy, sent it out yesterday. I pray your heart is encouraged in this. This really says it all....nothing to add.
I just wanted to share a dream that Dave had the other night. It was right after we had prayed and he was asking God to give us dreams and visions. Dave always said that he never dreamed at night but when he does dream, he has fantastic God-given dreams. (Me, I always dream but they usually have to do with what I saw or read before I fall asleep. Mostly they are just nonsense!)
In his dream, many of us were walking down a country road where the sky was huge above us and there were large hills on the landscape. He said gigantic figures began to form in the sky, one at a time and they were people. He said when the first one appeared, those on the road began to say “Look it’s John” or “No, it is Peter”. The figure would swoop over us a few times and we were fearful as it was so large and then it woould go down behind the hill and as we approached the hill, everyone was fearful, but the figure appeared up over the hill and had a loving and welcoming smile - Nothing to be fearful of.
Next Dave said a gigantic angel appeared in the sky and swooped over us and was so glittery and sparkly. It had gigantic wings. These figures would leave huge vapor trails and the whole world could see them. Next Jesus appeared in the sky in the same fashion. As He swooped by you could see two little girls in the trail of his vapor with their heads laid back and just enjoying riding in the wake of His passing. Dave said everyone started running after Jesus and wanting to join the little girls, everyone crying out to Jesus to carry them also.
Dave said he started to be lifted up in the wake but then began to doubt that it was real and felt himself hitting the ground. He said “Jesus, I want you to lift me like the others” and Jesus said, “Just let me!”, and then Dave was lifted and riding (floating) with the others behind Jesus. He said there was such joy and happiness and even a smell of what he described as mint all around. He said when he woke up he could still smell the fragrance and wanted to wake me up and ask me if I smelled it too. He said he just could not describe the beauty and splendor of it all.
I think what really stood out to Dave was that Jesus said “Just let me!” This spoke to us both about how we struggle and fight against all our thoughts and fears and Jesus is there just waiting for us to let go and let Him!

You Have Been Crucified with Me
~So, if you were with me on yesterday's post, then you read "Lazarus Come Forth"....You can only imagine my JOY in reading the following prophetic word I received through another ministry this morning!!!! I'm telling you, God WILL confirm that which He indeed, truly wants us to know and understand! That is His love, mercy, compassion, long-suffering and goodness to us. WE ARE TRULY BLESSED OF THE LORD~ Ephesians 1:3.

Child, you must realize that there is much that you have yet to understand about why I have prolonged your preparation and your emergence. With all that I have allowed to come upon you and to thoroughly try you, even in those hours of the deepest pain, I still had much joy as I watched you struggle to yield to Me. I know your heart and your deep desire to break free and to walk closer to me. I see your progress and I have noted your determination to establish My ways even more. For this I have waited. For this I have longed.
I have desired that you would remove the final barrier to the knowledge of the depths of My Heart. As you have begun to shed the last areas, you have begun to notice the new life that has begun to flow within your being. This is as it should be. For this is only the beginning of the transformation. I have awaited this hour, when My People would begin the transformation, and walk in My Reality. Such has been your awakening, and travail. But, Child, it has seemed to you that all of the waiting has been to no avail.
Oh, but you do not see what I see. You do not see what I have waited for, and what I have labored for, I have brought forth My Image within you. I have worked My work within you, it seemed to you that you had lost all identity. That you had lost all purpose, and strength. That you had lost all ability to function and to produce. And you were right, I brought you to the end. You have been crucified with Me. Now I can bring forth all that I have desired for you to now be.
Even in your struggles and in your tears, I worked. When you were screaming within and smiling outside for others, I knew the truth. I worked on. I watched as the days passed into weeks, and the weeks into months, and the months into years. Yet even in the passing of time, you pressed deeper into Me, and I reached deeper into your being setting you free. Child, I have given you the victory. I have removed the last wall in which you have repeatedly tried to scale on your own. I brought you to the end, so that now I could radiate fully from within. This is where My finest work will now transcend.
There is no depth into which I cannot see or into which I cannot bring forth total liberty, as I know what lies beneath and what men do not see. Your journey will reflect that which I do best. So, lay aside the concern for your current state and know that I am never late. I have brought you to the final gate and this will usher in what I have begun to divinely orchestrate. Do not judge by the outward appearances as there is much that will be swept away with the emergence of My New and Living Way. My Word was released concerning you, and that which has been prolonged according to My Hand, will now enlarge and greatly expand.
Much has been misunderstood and falsely determined by mere human reasoning's and opinions. But as I bring forth the radiant Glory, even the wisest amongst men will see that there is no depth to their human carnality. Even when men crucified me openly, they did not understand the depth nor the purpose that the Father had for them, as it was wrought within Me. So, now you understand that reality, for I have brought you to death in your humanity, so that now you can walk in My Resurrection Reality. I have brought you to completion, and now you will emerge as My friend, one in whom I can trust and also to lend. There is much for us to share now that I have removed the final cares and I am eager to make you fully aware of that which will now cause you to climb the golden stairs.
Look within and see the fullness of My Light that radiates within thee. I have wrought a great work and now I am emerging from within you and also through you as a reflection of Me. Oh, that more of Mine would be desire to be fully crucified with me, for then I could work My Great Work and establish My Reality Radiantly. Even so, I will show you My Faithfulness as I finish My Final touches and you will rejoice and break forth as My Radiance greatly rushes. Set your heart upon My Word and set your Feet upon My Path, for you know the Way that I have shown unto you would come, everything is ready, and the Fanning of My Radiant Glory has now begun. But men have no where in which to run. Yet, My Spirit calls out to those who will transform. It is time for your Radiant Garments to be worn.

Lazarus, Come Forth!
~You know the waters have been beyond rough of late...and there didn't seem to be any answers...and the Lord was quiet....Is that not THE WORST silence of all?!?!...Hurting beyond hurt - physically, emotionally spiritually; bloody knuckles from pounding on Heaven's Door, and still God is silent....And yet, He was teaching me and showing me....Allowing me to have my "Peter Moment" (Matt. 26:74)....It wasn't pretty....It wasn't living a victorious Christian life....It was a nuclear meltdown.
~Sleep helps...and I truly think the Lord "knocked me out for the count" on the couch yesterday...2 hours of blessed sleep on an icepack. Praise God there wasn't any freezer burn! ~Three very dear friends wrote to me - ministering the Lord's comfort. (You know how it is when you know you've just won the spiritual brat contest, and yet your friends still hang with you!)....Three friends...God's three....Thank-you, Lord!....And through it all, my husband's prayers.
~And then this morning, in the quietness and stillness of the morning, 2 Corinthians 1:8-9 blazed across the page...."For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia; that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead."
~Beloved, there are simply those things that God will bring the sentence of death upon within ourselves so that we do not trust in ourselves, but in Him. And just when we think that we've learned to trust Him in one area - He will bring another area to the Cross for crucifixion. Why? Because when He crushes the flesh out of us - the centrality of the flesh that thinks it is self-sufficient - when there is nothing left upon which to rely but Christ, Himself, then we are at a point of crossing the Red Sea, because then we do not trust in ourselves, but in God who raises the dead. It will be that point in our lives when the answer will be Only One - Jesus Christ, the Glory and Lifter of our head...My God in Whom I put my trust. My God Who IS Faithful and True. My God Who will NEVER leave me nor forsake me.
~I will not be able to say, "Look at me. Look how faithful I was. Look how hard I prayed. Look how much I fasted. Look at this or look at that. NO! It will be - LOOK TO THE CROSS, AND YOU WILL FIND YOUR ANSWER! LOOK TO THE EMPTY TOMB, AND YOU WILL FIND HE IS RISEN! NOW, LOOK TO THE LAZARUS WITHIN YOUR OWN TOMB, AND YOU WILL HEAR HIM CALL YOU...."LAZARUS COME FORTH!"
~Beloved, please let me remind you...Lazarus had NO FAITH TO BE HEALED!!!! Lazarus was D-E-A-D!!! DEAD!!! That which is dead has NO faith! It's dead! But then, Jesus shows up outside our tomb...and tells us that His Glory will be revealed if those OUTSIDE the tomb will believe. He didn't tell Lazarus if he believed. No! He told Martha that if she believed she'd see the Glory of God!
~Beloved, we're either in a Lazarus situation, or we're Martha - called to believe to see the Glory of God revealed in someone else's stinking stench of flesh death. It is tortuous at times to stand by and watch the flesh be killed in someone we love....but as we do, we are to believe for them that the Glory of the Lord will be revealed.
~What is the color of Glory? I think it is pure gold..."that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ." 1 Peter 1:7
~Suffering is one area that we just don't want to deal with...and yet, it is just as much a part of our Christian walk as servant hood and laying on of hands. Suffering kills the flesh, and it stinks! But Beloved, we are called to partake in not only His sufferings, but in His consolation to those who ARE suffering.
~In verse 7, the Apostle Paul writes: "And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation." Is this what Jesus meant when He said, "Unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you." (John 6:53)....and in v. 60, "Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this, said, "This is a hard saying, who can understand it"....and then many left Him....but Peter answered Him in v. 68 "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life."
~John 6:63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life."
"Lazarus, Come forth!"
~Sleep helps...and I truly think the Lord "knocked me out for the count" on the couch yesterday...2 hours of blessed sleep on an icepack. Praise God there wasn't any freezer burn! ~Three very dear friends wrote to me - ministering the Lord's comfort.

~John 6:63 "It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life."

The Essence of Worship Is Surrender
~My Love, the essence of your worship is to humbly bow your will, your life, before Me ~ To humble your heart before Me; to ask that My will be done in all situations; to walk before Me in the Way I have ordained for you in My Kingdom realm...not according to your own will and desires and plans, but according to My will for your life; in that I may accomplish My will through you from Heaven to the earth that My Father, Our Father may be glorified.
~This, My Love, is to seek first the Kingdom of God. (Matt. 6:33) When you seek Me, to request that My will be done, you are acknowledging that I have full knowledge of the situation and what I desire to be accomplished through it. ~For when you seek first My Kingdom, seek My will, My wisdom, My desire; for it is I Who see the end from the beginning and the way to get there.
~My Love, when I walked the earth, I sought The Father's will in all situations for I did not seek My own will but the will of the Father who sent Me. (John 5:30b)
~I tell you the truth, there are times when you have asked amiss so that you could spend it on your own pleasures. (James 4:3) Yet truly I say to you that "if anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it." (Mark 8:34b)
~It is in losing your life, My dear one, that you will truly know what it is to live and move and have your being in Me. (Acts 17:28)
~To worship Me is to adore Me. To adore Me is to love Me. To love Me is to keep/obey My commandments. To obey is to hear with compliant submission.
~My Love, think not that I do not understand, for I was tempted in all ways as you, but yet was without sin. I shall give you My power through the Holy Spirit to go through all to which I've called you, as I was enabled to endure the Cross for your sake; for pleasing and glorifying the Father for your salvation was the joy set before Me. (Hebrews 12:2)

(Hebrews 12:2)
"O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me;
nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will." (Matt. 26:39)
I SURRENDER ALL
v. 1 "All to Jesus, I surrender, All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him, In His Presence daily live.
v. 2 All to Jesus I surrender, Humbly at His feet I bow.
Worldy pleasures all forsaken, Take me Jesus, take me now.
v. 3 All to Jesus I surrender, Make me, Saviour, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit, Truly know that Thou art mine.
v. 4 All to Jesus I surrender, Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power, Let Thy blessing fall on me.
I surrender all, I surrender all, All to Thee, my blessed Saviour, I surrender all."
Winfield S. Weeden
I'm not exactly sure when this revelation hit me, but when the Lord brought this "home", His revelation hit me between the running lights! ~It was during my divorce that I allowed myself to be involved with another man. I was living in sin, and I knew it. Had I died, I know I would've gone to hell. I was weak in my flesh, and the enemy took full advantage, and I entertained his enticement. On Sundays, I would be singing up front in church with the Praise Team. I was living a lie. But God's heart was to deliver me. After four years of walking in rebellion, on one particular Sunday, our pastor preached a message straight from the heart of God. I was overcome with conviction. I knew I had to make a change and not wait. I confessed my sin to my pastor. And then I needed to walk it out with the Lord. In the meantime, God brought to light that which had been hidden in darkness regarding this man. I was ashamed and broken beyond broken. The Lord gently assured me, "Crista, my grace is sufficient for you." In the process, I began a faith walk like I had never before allowed the Lord to lead me. ~What the Lord showed me was that as in Isaiah 29:13, I too, had honored and praised the Lord with my lips, but my heart was far from Him. That truly, to honor, praise and worship Him, involved my total heart and obedience (surrender) in all matters. I could not stand in church and praise Him, and then live a life of disobedience to Him and His Word. ~I surrendered all. "Lord, do whatever it takes, to take me wherever You want to take me." That was the summer, I was "homeless".....more on that later.....

Yea, Though You Walk Through the Valley
The 23rd Psalm (Amplified) - Personalized:
~Yes, My Beloved, I AM Your Shepherd Who feeds, guides and shields you, You shall not lack.
~I make you to lie down in fresh, tender green pastures; I lead you beside the still and restful waters; for I AM unto you the River of Life, and I AM your Peace.
~It is I Who refresh and restore your life (your inner self); It is I Who lead you in the path of righteousness which is uprightness and right standing with Me - not because you have earned it, but for My Name's sake.
~Yea, though you walk through the deep, sunless valley of the shadow of death, you will fear no evil or dread no evil, for I AM with you and you are with Me; My rod protects you and My staff guides you, and in these shall I comfort you.
~It is I Who prepare a table before you in the presence of your enemies. It is I Who anoints your head with oil so that your brimming cup runs over.
~I have decreed that surely, only goodness, mercy and My unfailing love shall follow you all the days of your life, and through the length of your days, My house and My presence shall be your dwelling place.
~My Beloved Child, it is I Who take you through the valley. Why? So that your fleshly self may be cast off and laid at the foot of My Cross; for that which is of the flesh will reap decay, ruin and destruction. But that which is sown of the Spirit will of the Spirit reap eternal life. )(Galations 6:8)
~It is I Who take you through the Winepress of Heaven so that your fleshly desires are put to death; for it is then that I shall fill you with My new wine. As your flesh decreases, I shall bring the increase of My Spirit.
Galations 5:24 "And those who belong to Christ Jesus (the Messiah) have crucified the flesh (the godless human nature) with its passions and appetites and desires." (Amplified)
Father, I pray that You tie my flesh to the horns of the altar that I not crawl away. Lead me Lord. I put my trust in You and You, Alone.
~Yes, My Beloved, I AM Your Shepherd Who feeds, guides and shields you, You shall not lack.

"Have Thine Own way, Lord,
Have Thine Own way;
Thou are the Potter, I am the clay.
Mold me and make me after Thy will,
While I am waiting, yielded and still"
Geo. C. Stebbins
Lord, do whatever it takes, to take me wherever You want to take me,
and Father, may You and You Alone be glorifed.
