So this section is not part of the narrative but I\u2019ll just now share a few conversations I had with the Lord during that hard time. Two are dreams he gave me interpretations of which were deep conversations letting me get to know him on a deeply personal level. The first is Fleeing their Habitations<\/i>, and the second is The Mountain Valley Vision. <\/i>Third I will share a prophetic teaching he gave me about, \u201cEmotions, Covering and Submission.\u201d <\/p>\n
A fourth conversation which I will share in the next chapter is about the Kingdom, the Model of Our New Life, from Isaiah 61, which literally changed everything!<\/i><\/p>\n
But first I\u2019ll share these two powerful conversations explaining dreams God had given me, one on the Great Falling Away and the other on Discovering his Kingdom and my calling, and his word on Emotions. <\/p>\n
<\/br><\/p>\n
#1: Dream of People \u2018Fleeing Their Habitations\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n
I need to forewarn you, we are in a serious time; this is a serious and heartbreaking word \u2026 the great falling away, an Exile of Christians, is upon us \u2026 not only an exile from churches, but people being driven away into the arms of their idols, away from the habitations God has made for them in his Kingdom \u2026.<\/p>\n
A few weeks prior I had five dreams in the same night again: A \u201cBull-Bear,\u201d a \u201cChicken Wake Up Call,\u201d \u201cFleeing from Paneled Houses,\u201d \u201cJerusalem My Friend,\u201d and \u201cIran is Doomed.\u201d I published the word on the \u201cChicken Wake Up Call\u201d and just after I saw a briefcase next to me and heard, \u201cYou already have the next word. When you are ready, open it.\u201d<\/p>\n
A few weeks went by and I felt the strength and peace to deal with the next message, although I had no idea what it would be, and so I told the Lord I was ready. That night \u2026 just in the morning in November 2010, I had this dream \u2026 It seems very similar in theme to the word I posted with the Chicken Wake-Up Call, about it not being time to build fancy houses since many people will not live in them but will have to flee from them instead \u2026 this was around the big housing crash. But this was not even close to the same idea, and I was not prepared for the interpretation the Lord gave me. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
People Fleeing The Places God Provided For Their Safety And Training \u2026 <\/b><\/p>\n
As the dream began there had been some kind of trouble that caused people to start to leave their homes. A few were very fast to react and quickly went to scout out a new place to move to and came back to pack up their things, but by the time they did the news had spread and almost everyone else started to just leave their homes. I looked and saw a line of people, whole families in fact, leaving their homes and walking away, but they were leaving empty handed without any possessions. They were leaving an apartment complex or housing development.<\/p>\n
God reminded me when he was giving me the interpretation that this line of people were leaving at night, or at dusk, and there were a few street lights giving light to their path as they left the complex.<\/p>\n
Then my vantage point changed, and I was on an upper floor of a university dormitory overlooking a kind of courtyard area or common area between a few buildings. I was looking into an apartment complex that faced the dormitory I was in; the wall facing me was all windows so I could see into all the flats and I realized all the people had already gone and they just left most of their things behind which were just scattered and in total disarray! At the far end of the courtyard above all the buildings was the steel beam supporting structure of some other urban infrastructure, like an overpass or a bridge. It was not open sky but was as if these housing units were in the shadow of a road or tall bridge, although it was not very clear or important or just not obvious.<\/p>\n
I said, \u201cLook! Everybody\u2019s gone!\u201d I was with a few people I knew but others I did not. And when we realized this, first we stopped preparing to leave and stopped packing our own things, and as we slowly realized there were HUNDREDS of apartments that were abandoned and everything was left behind, we started going through everything to see if there was anything of value left behind. It soon became fun and exciting in a way! So many nice things were just abandoned! Many of the people were obviously well-off and the kinds of things we were going through were expensive and in very good condition. I was seeing nice shoes, sweaters, etc.<\/p>\n
Then someone found a Pie, like an apple pie but with a kind of handle attached to it, and we said, \u201cGood, we should eat it soon!\u201d Next I found a Pink Computer Printer. My actual printer has been out of toner for more than a year and so I couldn\u2019t print anything for a long time, but this was the same model I previously had, only it was brand new and pink!<\/p>\n
Of the people I recognized I was with I saw TP, a lady youth leader in our community, and my wife, who had been upset with me and not talking to me for a while. I didn\u2019t recognize the other people we were with.<\/p>\n
The dormitory floor we were on was a boy\u2019s floor, so it was all boys\u2019 clothes, etc., and I told my wife that if she went one floor down it would be a women\u2019s floor and she\u2019d find things for her.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I can\u2019t call you; your phone doesn\u2019t work!\u201d she protested firmly. \u201cYes, it does. Call me,\u201d I said. She did, and it connected fine. \u201cSee, it works fine!\u201d We were back in communication after being estranged!<\/p>\n
I then heard TP say, \u201cThe people say CURRENCY has NO VALUE anymore.\u201d I suddenly realized and said, \u201cOh, then we should look for things that we can barter.\u201d \u201cYes, good idea!\u201d So we started looking for things to trade with others.<\/p>\n
As my wife went downstairs I saw a man in the stairwell coming up but he was in a state of shock. He was thinking of his wife and child and was hopeless and yes, in total shock. His hair and clothes were GRAY, and he was VERY THIN and his left hand was tightly clenched as if he was holding onto something tightly, but when I went over to talk with him and opened his left hand, it was empty\u2014he was very thin and even his hand was unnaturally thin, like he did not have a normal grasp, like he was missing a finger or just did not have a normal grasp.<\/p>\n
I led him up into my room and tried to comfort him and told him, \u201cYou know God told us this was going to happen,\u201d but it was no comfort to him. He was basically beyond help, beyond comfort right now. I was worried that he might SNAP and do something rash or harmful so I tried to keep talking with him. A man who is a caretaker for a church I used to attend but who is a little mentally challenged popped his head into my room and said to the man, \u201cGet some paper and write down what God will tell you,\u201d referring I think to the way we often lead people into Communion \/ prayer journaling and I thought, \u2018OK, we can try that,\u2019 but I said again, trying to get the Gray Man\u2019s attention, \u201cIt\u2019s all going to be OK. God told us and MANY PEOPLE that this was going to happen \u2026\u201d But he was just not able to listen to anything, and he could not even take this much in\u2014it would SIMPLY BE IMPOSSIBLE to lead him into a time of spiritual Communion with the Lord in his current state. He was too shaken, and there was too much to explain that he would not be able to understand right now.<\/p>\n
Then the Gray Man crawled into the closet and hid himself under the clothes and he was thinking about all the Christmas presents he had just bought, especially for his daughter, and that they were all now worthless. I saw one that had a cheaply done Santa image on the wrapping paper, which was green with some details and little poorly drawn Santa\u2019s on it, like they were cheap copies, drawn by someone who never saw a real Santa: it was skinny, his body was distended in a funny warped way\u2014a very poor copy indeed. And in LARGE letters suddenly on the box it read CHURCH. Like this fake \u2018Santa\u2019 was bringing a box of \u2018Church\u2019 or like \u2018Church\u2019 was the toy that you get at Christmas that fake \u2018Santa\u2019 brings. He was looking at this in BEWILDERMENT and said, \u201cHow can this FAIL?\u201d He was wondering how this \u2018Santa\u2019 and the Christmas \u2018Church\u2019 could fail.<\/p>\n
I woke up, it was around 7 am and the Lord asked me to write the dream down immediately, and I heard Him say, \u201cThis is what will happen to my people.\u201d<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Interpretation: This Is What Will Happen To God\u2019s People!!<\/b><\/p>\n I figured I had a pretty good idea of what this dream was getting at \u2026 but when God began telling me his interpretation, I was shocked.<\/i> <\/p>\n First with what it means, and then He also had a few very stern things to say to me about how I was handling the message and my attitude in general \u2026 This is a serious word and a serious time and the Lord has some SERIOUS business to do with his people, <\/b>foretold in the Bible, and foreshadowed by the Exile of the Jews to Babylon \u2026 this is the Exile of the Christians to Babylon, but I am getting ahead of myself and need to let you hear the Lord\u2019s message, if indeed you can.<\/p>\n Me: \u201cWhat is the trouble?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cNews from a foreign land \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cAm I hearing this right? What does that even mean??\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cIf you don\u2019t want the yoke of the Lord, (the restraint and kindness of serving Me, a good master) then you will fall into the snare of working towards the enemy\u2019s plans. Did I not tell you that if you seek to gain your life you shall lose it? This is now coming upon all my disobedient house, for I will have my people be holy as I am holy, says the Lord. Do not forget that while in the wilderness I was with Israel every day of their short, pitiful, miserable lives, they murmured and complained about me the whole time not knowing what I was doing, I was doing for their good fortunes \u2026 now, have you been murmuring against me? And even yet condemning the ancient ones, who are just as much a part of your extended human family, who will also face my judgment \u2026 how do you think you shall escape the same chastisement and punishment of those who YOU condemned as disobedient and stubborn, when you are of the same ilk.\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cWhat is the news of the big trouble?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cI will cast their idols into the sea, cast them down to the ground, cast them into the flames, and they will see them no more. No more will they call this country (the USA) the land of prosperity, but the land of purposelessness\u2013vanity, vain ideas, vain people, vain pursuits, no longer the promised land but the land of woe.\u201d<\/p>\n Me: Having a very hard time bearing to hear his word I said, \u201cI am just trying to listen \u2026\u201d <\/p>\n The Lord, yelling at me: \u201cAND LISTEN YOU SHALL! I have raised you up to hear my voice and deliver my warnings to these disobedient and stiff-necked people and go to them you shall! Now listen to me, you have not lost anything you were not supposed to give up for my sake to start with, yet all you do all day long is moan and whine and complain about Me being a hard taskmaster! When will you discern right from wrong? Is what you do right as an example to my people? Do you encourage them to weather the storms by your steadfastness to my word, or do you gripe and complain about me?\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cYes, Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cNow let\u2019s have no more of this whimpering, I have GOOD Plans for my people and the sooner you realize it the better for all. Let\u2019s get back to the story I am telling you.\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cThey will hear the news from a foreign land and it will cause them to flee into the trees\u2014in the wilderness, deep into the trees, hiding from ME.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey are leaving their habitations, the places I chose for them as a sanctuary and a safe place to rest in my care I as train them for war! War on poverty, war on sales, war on merchandising my truth, war on fancy clothes that bring you no relief for your troubled souls, war on relief that is not of Me and that does not relieve. War on poverty of SOUL, of heart, of home. Oh my people you have learned heresy from people who have lied to you in my name. They think holding church services is playing a game; You think I have changed that I am no longer the same, as I was long ago, but it is YOU who have changed; I am forever the same. It is YOU who have changed, changed your name and changed your team \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Selah <\/i>[Then there was a long pause where He was just silent \u2026 I could feel Him there, looking at me, only he was not speaking, like He was contemplating what He was going to say! Although He already knows what He is going to say! I didn\u2019t understand. An angel who was sitting beside me, strengthening me said, \u201cHe\u2019s really upset.\u201d So \u2026 Selah<\/i>, a pause, a pregnant pause, then \u2026 ]<\/span><\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cI am pronouncing judgment upon you. <\/p>\n \u201cYou have NOT come to know Me or my ways, and it is all I can do to rescue you from the pit. DO NOT point the finger at the Jew, you Gentile, you believer in Yeshua as you say, for you will suffer the same fate on that Day. You have also fallen away. I will now purge my house as only I may. I will drive you into the arms of your lovers, you apostates, you lovers of wealth and pleasure, and you who choose YOUR OWN WAY \u2026 you mock Me? You laugh and say I am no longer the same, but just as they who fell away, you will laugh and will say, \u2018NO WAY! This is OUR DAY! Good times, great fun! Let\u2019s enjoy the well-earned fruit of our labors,\u2019 \u2026 but I shall take it all away.\u201d<\/p>\n [I was not ready for this and it was hard to pay attention. For some reason all I could think about was a stupid plant in my garden that I wanted to write about on my website. I\u2019m sorry, I was really not ready for this. <\/p>\n So at this point, He said I could take a break and go outside and take a picture of the plant I wanted to shoot for my blog \u2026 it has not rained in more than a month and things are dying back. Before I knew it I was busy cutting the wild Canna back. This plant has a very small flower on very tall stalks. It looks like regular Canna, which I thought it was when I found it, except the flowers are very tiny, unlike regular Canna which has HUGE beautiful flowers. It was the first time I have had to prune this planting back since I only planted it about 18 months ago \u2026 well, also the leaves died back as it grew, leaving a dried up brown mess on each stalk, and when the stalks get about five feet tall, after a few pathetic, minuscule flowers, they just die as well. Rather disappointing. Especially because like I said, when I found it down by the beach I thought it was real Canna \u2026 anyway the whole planting has begun to just look like a total mess, and I felt I should prune it today, right now \u2026 as I did so, I realized a few things. All the tall stalks needed to be cut right back to their bases, and when I did this I saw that there were many new shoots under the dead leaves that I could not even see before. Now these new plants are free to grow and all the old growth that was so tattered looking is gone. What to do with all the cut stalks I was wondering, when the Lord suddenly interrupted my gardening and said, \u201cBurn them.\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n And then I knew what He was talking about \u2026 this is the parable of the vineyard in Isaiah!!! Oh, no! I just looked it up and it\u2019s uncanny! This is Isaiah 5, coming not to the Jews in Israel but to the \u201cbelievers in Yeshua.\u201d I mean it\u2019s the people who THINK they are safe and secure in their religious lives but are not so in heart, in spirit and in truth, and so are simply not safe.<\/span><\/p>\n Here is an excerpt of Isaiah 5 with key highlights in BOLD \u2026<\/p>\n Isaiah 5:1\u2014 Now let me sing to my Well-beloved My Well-beloved has a vineyard<\/p>\n On a very fruitful hill.<\/p>\n 2<\/sup> He dug it up and cleared out its stones,<\/p>\n And planted it with the choicest vine.<\/p>\n He built a tower in its midst,<\/p>\n And also made a winepress in it;<\/p>\n So He expected it to bring forth good grapes,<\/p>\n But it brought forth wild grapes.<\/p>\n 3<\/sup> \u201cAnd now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah,<\/p>\n Judge, please, between Me and My vineyard.<\/p>\n 4<\/sup> What more could have been done to My vineyard<\/p>\n That I have not done in it?<\/p>\n Why then, when I expected it to bring forth good grapes,<\/p>\n Did it bring forth wild grapes?<\/p>\n 5<\/sup> And now, please let Me tell you what I will do to My vineyard:<\/p>\n I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned;<\/b><\/p>\n And break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down.<\/b><\/p>\n 6<\/b><\/sup> I will lay it waste;<\/b><\/p>\n It shall not be pruned or dug,<\/b><\/p>\n But there shall come up briers and thorns.<\/b><\/p>\n I will also command the clouds<\/b><\/p>\n That they rain no rain on it.\u201d<\/p>\n 7<\/b><\/sup> For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel,<\/b><\/p>\n And the men of Judah are His pleasant plant.<\/b><\/p>\n He looked for justice, but behold, oppression;<\/b><\/p>\n For righteousness, but behold, a cry for help.<\/b><\/p>\n 8<\/span><\/span><\/sup> Woe to those who join house to house;<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n They add field to field,<\/p>\n Till there is no place<\/p>\n Where they may dwell alone in the midst of the land!<\/p>\n 9<\/span><\/span><\/sup> In my hearing the Lord of hosts said,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cTruly, many houses shall be desolate,<\/p>\n Great and beautiful ones, without inhabitant.<\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n * * *<\/p>\n 5:12\u2014 12 The harp and the strings,<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n The tambourine and flute,<\/p>\n And wine are in their feasts;<\/p>\n But they do not regard the work of the Lord,<\/b><\/p>\n Nor consider the operation of His hands.<\/p>\n 13<\/sup> Therefore my people have gone into captivity,<\/p>\n Because they have no knowledge;<\/b><\/p>\n Their honorable men are famished,<\/p>\n And their multitude dried up with thirst.<\/p>\n * * *<\/p>\n 15<\/sup> People shall be brought down,<\/p>\n Each man shall be humbled,<\/p>\n And the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled.<\/p>\n 16<\/sup> But the Lord of hosts shall be exalted in judgment,<\/p>\n And God who is holy shall be hallowed in righteousness.<\/p>\n 17<\/sup> Then the lambs shall feed in their pasture,<\/p>\n And in the waste places of the fat ones strangers shall eat. <\/p>\n [or NIV\u2014<\/span><\/span>17 <\/sup>Then sheep will graze as in their own pasture; * * *<\/p>\n 5:24\u2014Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble,<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n And the flame consumes the chaff,<\/b><\/p>\n So their root will be as rottenness,<\/b><\/p>\n And their blossom will ascend like dust;<\/b><\/p>\n Because they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts,<\/b><\/p>\n And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.<\/b><\/p>\n 25<\/sup> Therefore the anger of the Lord is aroused against His people;<\/p>\n He has stretched out His hand against them<\/p>\n And stricken them,<\/p>\n And the hills trembled.<\/p>\n Their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets.<\/p>\n For all this His anger is not turned away,<\/b><\/p>\n But His hand is stretched out still.<\/b><\/p>\n 26<\/sup> He will lift up a banner to the nations from afar,<\/p>\n And will whistle to them from the end of the earth;<\/p>\n Surely they shall come with speed, swiftly.<\/p>\n I never imagined that this is what the \u201cgreat falling away\u201d or the \u201cgreat apostacy\u201d or the \u201crebellion\u201d was talking about \u2026 it is the Exile of the Gentiles! Not from a physical promised land, but from the Lord\u2019s spiritual promised land, the Kingdom, his sanctuary for them \u2026 <\/p>\n 2 Thessalonians 2:3\u2014Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition ….<\/p>\n * * *<\/p>\n Hebrews 3:7-19 \u20147<\/sup> Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says:<\/p>\n \u201cToday, if you will hear His voice,<\/p>\n 8<\/sup> Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion,<\/p>\n In the day of trial in the wilderness,<\/p>\n 9<\/sup> Where your fathers tested Me, tried Me,<\/p>\n And saw My works forty years.<\/p>\n 10<\/sup> Therefore I was angry with that generation,<\/p>\n And said, \u2018They always go astray in their heart,<\/p>\n And they have not known My ways.\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n 11<\/sup> So I swore in My wrath,<\/p>\n \u2018They shall not enter My rest.\u2019 \u201d<\/p>\n 12<\/sup> Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from the living God; 13 but [b]exhort one another daily, while it is called \u201cToday,\u201d lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. 14<\/sup> For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, <\/b>15 <\/sup>while it is said:<\/p>\n \u201cToday, if you will hear His voice,<\/b><\/p>\n Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n 16<\/sup> For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? [Symbolic of going through Salvation.] <\/b>17<\/sup> Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? [Who fell away during purification and process of maturing.]<\/b> 18<\/sup> And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? [They who were hearers but not DOERS of his word.]<\/b>19<\/sup> So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. <\/b><\/p>\n At this point I realized a few things \u2026 first, as a Body we\u2019re fast asleep in our spiritual discernment and have no idea what is going on; we don\u2019t know God or understand Him at all, even though we assure ourselves that we do\u2014but really we\u2019ve just dug ourselves a great pit! I realized my initial take on this dream was just wrong! And God, the God who spoke through Jeremiah and Isaiah, has NOT changed.<\/p>\n Seeking further clarification of the rest of the symbols and events, this is what I heard the next day\u2026<\/p>\n Me: \u201cSo the people fleeing are Christians who are fleeing from your protection and family?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cYes, but it\u2019s not as simplistic as that. They may and probably will still call themselves Christians, believers in Yeshua, Jesus, Messiah, whatever, but their hearts have left and are far from me.<\/p>\n \u201cAs a man thinks in his heart, so IS he. They are far from me since their hearts are cold towards me. How can I train them, wrestle with them to expose and purge the dross of sin from their hearts if they will not engage me? I cannot do it on my own\u2013I CAN, but I will not supplant their freedom to choose whom they shall serve; I am a HOLY and RIGHTEOUS GOD and I will not do that to anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cCan we go on?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cYes \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cI saw people fleeing, taking things with them, first just a few, then EVERYONE \u2026 Who are the early people and what are they taking? I guess I saw them getting ready to pack but I didn\u2019t see anyone carry anything away\u2014in fact now that I think about what I saw, most of the people leaving took NOTHING with them \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cThey were trying to take the things they value from my Kingdom: salvation, peace, etc., but they left empty-handed because I AM the peace, and you can\u2019t separate it from me and take it away \u2026 it\u2019s all or nothing in a way.\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cBut the homes looked ransacked; they were in total disarray.\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cPeople don\u2019t leave in a good frame of mind. They are in a panic and in fear, doubt and unbelief \u2026 unbelief in my Goodness, not in the calamity they are hearing about. The homes reflect the unanswered questions they left behind. When they come back, as some of them will, they will have to face these scattered issues, but it will be with newfound insight and understanding and it will not be as they left.\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cSo the apartments and dormitories are the places you have provided for people in your Kingdom for their safety and training, education and in preparation of their callings, etc.\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cYes, but what\u2019s more it\u2019s not a \u2018place\u2019 but a \u2018mindset\u2019 in a way. The Kingdom is WITHIN you, <\/b>not a hotel you check into or a building you move into.\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cI lose sight of your goodness, Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cYou all do from time to time, but that\u2019s why I am here with you to the end of the age, to help get you back on track!\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cYou are much more calm and kind now than you were when you were telling me the first part of this word.\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cYes, well, I have much to show you that you do not know about me. Let\u2019s get back to the dream shall we?<\/p>\n \u201cThe lamp-post represents my light dawning on their conscience. (you forgot to add that in the writing up of the dream)\u2014it was dim, nighttime when the people were leaving. Their understanding is DIM, and I am the light guiding them, showing them the way they walk, even when it is wrong and the wrong way, they will know it later for what it was.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDo you know what the PIE was, with the handle? My PEACE (like a piece of pie) was left behind. It has a handle so you can GRASP it, although you never fully UNDERSTAND it, it passes or transcends your understanding, but you can still lay hold of it. Lay hold of my Peace! It\u2019s easy! A piece of pie! Yes, it was a whole pie\u2014it is my wholeness, my Shalom, my peace \u2026 sounds corny you know, but that\u2019s the way I am (when I am not upset : ) ).\u201d<\/p>\n Me: Wahhh!! \u201c<\/i>OK, the stuff left behind that we started to sort through?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cGifts, mantles, callings that are now being left undone. They will be given to the faithful few, a redistribution of wealth!\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n Me: [Laughing in Joy!] \u201cI thought it was something bad that we were stealing things or something \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cNo, it is in my word. Those who have much will get more, those who have little will lose what little they have. Look it up!\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cMatthew 13:12, and oh, Matthew 25! Just after the parable of the 10 Virgins \u2026 The Master who gave his servants Talents \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Matthew 13:11\u2014 He answered and said to them, \u201cBecause it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. 12<\/sup> For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.<\/p>\n * * * and * * *<\/p>\n Matthew 25:28\u2014 So take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. 29<\/sup> \u2018For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. 30<\/sup> And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.\u2019<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cBingo! Read the whole chapter of Matthew 25 when you have time next. Let\u2019s go on \u2026 the rescue of the disciples was not by might, nor by human power, but by my Spirit says me, the Lord.\u201d <\/p>\n [Then there was a personal symbol, the Pink Printer; it\u2019s not embarrassing, but just personal. He said not to share that with everyone.] But what about sharing the other parts? <\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cYes, people need to see what is coming and already is beginning to spread upon the sea\u2014the people at large.\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cAre you ready for the rest?<\/p>\n \u201cOK, a seed is coming, to restore the captive Jerusalem, you are a part of that seed if the Holy Spirit ABIDES in you, that is, you are at home feasting with him in your presence. You abide, or live with him on a continuous basis since He is pleased to live with you.\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cStrengthen me Lord. What does it mean to see TP, the youth leader?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cIt is people like her, whose heart knows how to sniff out my way, even if they are slow, or it is closed to their clear understanding still. She is following Me as I lead you.\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cWhat about her being a youth leader?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cRelevant, but you are ALL youth leaders, you lead the youth of the Kingdom \u2026 let\u2019s go on. <\/p>\n \u201cOther people you did not know are other laborers of this harvest you have not yet met, but will work with soon \u2026 your \u2018estranged wife\u2019 are those who have been estranged from the promises of God, but they will return to Me, and you will suddenly be back in fellowship with them. A new level of understanding will be established or reestablished between you \u2026 they have already fallen away but will soon come back to the table and dine with the Lord of the feast. She had to go to a lower level to find the things she was comfortable wearing and which would suit \/ fit her, since she has been away and not growing as she ought so she will have to make up for some lost time in my service. You will help people like this get back into the swing of things wearing their mantles and gifts and callings again.<\/p>\n \u201cPeople think they cannot LOSE a gift or a mantle or a calling, but I say this is not so. You can lose anything I give you if you are disobedient, stubborn or unwilling to carry out the task you are assigned to. People say the gifts and callings of God are beyond repentance but search and see what this really means, that these things are not what you earn by your good deeds, maturity or your own spiritual strength.<\/p>\n \u201cThey are things I CHOOSE for you to do, regardless of your standing with me. I mean I choose them before you were born, before you know me, or before you walked with me. I can take them away just as easily if you prove to be unfaithful to yourself\u2014since I already know what you will be and what you are\u2014but I give you the chance to prove yourself. I won\u2019t judge you for what you do not yet do, either to punish or reward you for your calling, only until it becomes a present reality in your walk with Me do I have the ability to decide if you are faithful or disobedient, even though I know whether you will be or not before it happens.<\/p>\n \u201cSo these gifts are given not as a question of your right standing, but as a decision of my grace to empower you to serve me in one way or another. THEN you start the walk of repentance and learn how to serve me and how to operate in the gifts and callings of the kingdom\u2014if you choose to\u2014and that is the substance of the reward of your service to Me. People who unrighteously want to STEAL from Me, and claim an inheritance I have not approved or given them say these things that the gifts and callings of God are beyond repentance so they can continue to walk in them even if they are in gross sin, but this is not true. They only look at the gifts and talents on the surface, as man sees the results of their fame as it brings in the crowds, the music albums they can create, the books they sell as a \u2018best-selling author\u2019 or engagement fees they can command when they speak on the international preachers\u2019 circuit \u2026 but these are not the true measure of the gifts and callings of God, since the substance of what you build is in the hearts of man, not in the numbers of people who come to an event in your name \u2026 You can be famous in man\u2019s world because of the gifts I gave you even when you cease to operate in my Kingdom and stop building the lives of the saints in reality \u2026. Just leave such people behind \u2026 they are blind guides, clouds without rain, leave the dead to be buried by the dead \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cTP said, she heard that \u2018currency has no more value.\u2019 We started looking for things to barter and trade instead \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cYes, what does this mean but an end to merchandising in my house \u2026 I will no longer tolerate men who steal from me to sell to you \u2026 you have freely received the Wisdom of the Ages and yet you promise restoration only if people can afford your series on DVD \u2026 this is WRONG! I allow you to make money in so many ways that do not impede the righteous from finding their Lord and Savior but what have you done? That which you have not labored for you SELL? In MY NAME! To put a HUGE STUMBLING BLOCK in the path of my sheep who are too poor or too illiterate to know how to navigate the modern world of e-commerce and business trading\u2026 how many people I want to touch with what I have shown my people but who do not even know how to use a computer or who do not own one? E-commerce is meant to be a way to make a living for some of you but not for a way to sell on-line what costs you nothing to make another copy of at the expense of the lost sheep who cannot afford to eat every day \u2026 what am I saying? STOP MERCHANDISING MY TRUTH. LOVE the sheep but look to ME for your money! I\u2019ll give you ways and partners to help you along the way as you serve me, but stop trying to fleece the sheep! It was NEVER supposed to be this way that the Gospel advanced! This is wrong in my eyes\u2014it is evil, an abomination really! Stop doing it. Look to me for your support, provision and ways to make money if you need it. STOP LOOKING FOR WAYS TO FLEECE MY SHEEP!\u201c<\/p>\n Me: \u201cWhat about the man in the hallway. Gray hair, very skinny, a very weak grasp, grasping at nothing \u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cPeople who think the gospel is a means to get rich \u2026 that it is for carnal prosperity and earthly wealth \u2026 this is the result of his earthly wisdom, knowledge of the fallen realm that is used to define and decide what is going on with Me and My Kingdom \u2026 they simply do not understand it \u2026 this will be a hard shock on them, but do not worry, I know my own and will lead them beside streams of living water, into green pastures where they will find rest for their eternal souls \u2026<\/p>\n \u201cBut these paint the gospel with Christmas tree lights and narratives of donkeys and three wise men, and they just miss the point. The point is not to give them a warm, cozy tradition to worship and lie down on to sleep when they are weary working the year long for Mammon and Man\u2019s plays, but it is to DIE to self, to the FLESH, die to the nature in you that is an enemy to Me. Such people think all I came to do was to give them a holiday off from work, and a reason to buy things for their loved ones and families, and not to worry about the poor in the world or war or famine for a season but to indulge themselves, to go to their ancestral homes and drink wine and tell stories and live the high life. \u2026 I love your families and I want you to have good times with them, eating and singing, telling stories, enjoying each others\u2019 company before you die, but die you must and the sooner the better for all. Not physical death, I mean, death to sin and the sin nature within mankind that lies to you and hides you from seeing the truth of my ways \u2026<\/p>\n \u201cThey have trusted what they have poorly made, a sham and mockery of Me and my ways, and it\u2019s plain that it is fake and cheap and not worthy of my Divinity, not made by Me, but made by weak, stupid, fools in mock honor of Me \u2026 your Christmas traditions are vain attempts to satisfy your souls, decorated with chinsy painted images of a charlatan, a fake saint, a myth, a mask of deception. Led astray you will not fight for what is right and true and so you will neither see nor experience what I have told this story for.\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cThe man was thin and had a weak grasp\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cHe cannot grasp the truth, underfed since he does not seek to know Me, so he is barely alive. Grasping at thin air, which is all he has left after the news has come to shatter the illusion he took for truth. He calls the fake, toy \u2018church of man\u2019 my plan, so wrong! So wrong, man.<\/p>\n \u201cWhy not come up higher and I will tell you my real plans, but alas you are too weak, too stubborn to change, too weak to renew your heart\u2019s thinking and you cannot bear what I have to say \u2026 it is so against all you do and believe so you cannot hear Me when I speak \u2026 I say, lean NOT upon your own ways, O man! Your own judgments will prove to be a snare to you in the day of calamity. Turn to me and live, before it is too late, I say; before That Day catches you like a thief in the night. You still have time to repair your ways, O man, but not many days hence you shall say, \u2018Woe is to me, I am undone! All I care to do or say is stubble like hay burned up in the Fire of that Day! Woe is me! I ate the fast food of the people who told me they knew the way but it was all lies: hay, wood, stubble and hay!\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cPrepare yourself for this is going to be a taste of that day!\u201d [End]<\/p>\n <\/br><\/p>\n #2: Dream of \u2018The Mountain Valley\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n This dream started with my wife and I, and I think we may have been near the place we lived a few years before this dream. We ended up at the edge of the forest going up THE MOUNTAIN where I used to prayer walk often. But it was overgrown and the path was not clear. <\/p>\n Me: \u201cWhat is the mountain?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cThe mountain of the knowledge of the Lord\u2014something imparted to you as you climb \/ ascend\u2014it is not Me or You but Me IN You, (to John M., you should know this).\u201d<\/p>\n Dream: My wife was driving a car, I was in the passenger seat, and we started to drive up the hill. My wife was not focused on driving but was DISTRACTED by something and kept looking back instead of forward. I recall something about a baby doll in the back seat \u2026 and we passed by some plant shoots, some young bamboo, and when the car was coming to a small dirt mound, SHE JUST STOPPED THE CAR AND GOT OUT. <\/p>\n Me: \u201cMy wife was driving the car?\u201d <\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cPeople can\u2019t see Me, only the forest\u2014she can\u2019t see Me\u2014sidetracked\u2014distracted\u2014not real obstacles stopped her. She gave up too easy, too soon. <\/p>\n \u201cIf she had known my heart, seen my face through the trees (the obstacles) if she would have chosen to see Me through the obstacles, she would have continued, pursued me. <\/p>\n \u201cBut not a problem, no loss\u2014I\u2019ll get her on the rebound.\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cWhat do you mean, will she break up with me (divorce me)? Why the \u2018rebound\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cOn the rebound of My love, not the divorce of your marriage\u2014but that is for another talk, another time. \u2026\u201d <\/p>\n Dream: I got the machete out and chopped the first bamboo or branch I came to but it was so flexible it just bent back\u2014it was like grass or something. I went to the dirt mound that she stopped at, and hit it and it crumbled away. It seemed to be like natural chalk\u2014it was mainly white dirt, and had the consistency of an ant hill and it just crumbled apart, very soft. <\/p>\n THESE WERE NOT OBSTACLES THAT WOULD STOP THE CAR AT ALL. In fact we only had gone a few feet, when she stopped, got out and gave up.<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cShe stopped at what was not really an obstacle \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cWhat is the car?\u201d <\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cYour teaching and training of her\u2014imparted knowledge of Me. You were in the passenger\u2019s seat coaching her.\u201d<\/p>\n Dream: There was a sense of urgency for me, since there was a WEDDING PARTY up the hill that people were already gathering at. I don\u2019t know who was getting married, but it was like a group wedding, like we were all a part of the wedding and I knew many people there were already wearing wedding dresses. <\/p>\n Me: \u201cThere was a wedding party, people were already there.\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cA meeting of the Bride, in true spiritual communion\u2014a meeting of the MINDS and HEARTS of those truly devoted [As he spoke I heard the song: Hopelessly Devoted To You … <\/i>] to ME and My Ways. My Life. My Breath. … the Saints, a peculiar people.\u201d <\/p>\n Dream: I saw my wife walking around back where we started from, and she was wearing an old fashioned HOOP DRESS, like a wedding dress but it was LIGHT BROWN, BEIGE OR TAN, NOT WHITE.<\/p>\n Me: \u201cHer dress wasn\u2019t quite a wedding dress?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cShe can\u2019t wear what SHE wants to, to the wedding.\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cI think my wife will have to go through \u2018tribulation\u2019 to be corrected. Is this the Anti-Christ\u2019s reign of murder or not?\u201d <\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cShe will turn around in time to avoid the Great Persecution.\u201d <\/p>\n Me: \u201cThe Hoop Dress?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cVanity, puffed up; circular reasoning in her thoughts.\u201d <\/p>\n Dream: There was a SWAMPY AREA near her that I told her to be careful of. She walked to where the car had stopped going up the hill. <\/p>\n Me: \u201cThe Swamp?\u201d <\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cFalling back into the Flesh … she\u2019s never really left.\u201d <\/p>\n Dream: I told her we can keep going up over here\u2014there is a wider path, A MORE DIRECT WAY (over to the right). <\/p>\n Me: \u201cI saw the other path; it looked more straight.\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cA more direct path, being more direct, seeking directly.\u201d<\/p>\n Dream: I saw what looked like a more straight path going up\u2014My old Pastor PATRICK from New Hampshire opened the path up with his jeep. <\/p>\n Me: \u201cPastor PATRICK from New Hampshire opened up this path?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cHe was a seeker of divine truth. You may not like him for what he did to you, but he opened up the way for you\u2014before you, he opened up your way. <\/p>\n \u201cHe forgave those who stood in his way\u2014he forgave you.\u201d <\/p>\n Me: \u201cLord, I don\u2019t know where I stand with these people who hurt me: my own dad, Pastor Patrick from New Hampshire, Pastor Mike and Henry from the Tree of Life Church, Jun from the Filipino church\u2014please lead me to love and forgive them all.\u201d<\/p>\n Dream: And MY MOM\u2019S station wagon (a large family car) was parked at the base of the wide path as well.<\/p>\n Me: \u201cMy Mom\u2019s station wagon?!\u201d <\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cShe is also climbing the Hill of the Lord.\u201d<\/p>\n Dream: My Wife WOULD NOT GO UP ANY MORE<\/p>\n Me: \u201cMy wife would not go up the Hill any more.\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cShe is Stubborn\u2014I\u2019ve told her this, made her to see it \u2026. Carry on \u2026\u201d<\/p>\n Dream:\u2014so I got into a special double caterpillar-track tractor (it had tank tracks, and was in two sections joined together) that I called a \u201cWEASEL\u201d which was something like a WWII-era military truck tractor with tank tracks \u2026. I GOT INTO IT AND WENT STRAIGHT UP THE HILL THROUGH THE FOREST. <\/p>\n I kept climbing and climbing and saw a DIRT TRACK I was following, that was a rough road few people ever used. I WAS NOT THE FIRST, BUT ONE OF THE FIRST TO GO HERE. <\/p>\n The weasel as I call it had a left and right tread. I was driving it by pushing a left and right pedal forward\u2014it was not a steering wheel. <\/p>\n I saw a kind of BUG, like a stick bug \/ praying mantis in the way \u2026 I used the left track to nudge it; it jumped out of the way \u2026 <\/p>\n Then I was trying to see how to make the machine go faster, if I pushed down harder, or if I let up a little would I get more traction \u2026 I tried it and it didn\u2019t seem to make much difference. <\/p>\n Me: \u201cI got into the \u2018Weasel\u2019\u2014what is that?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cMy Hand, carrying you up my Hill as you step, walk, stand in faith. (Faith like the previous \u2018motorcycle\u2019 vision, it\u2019s a machine carrying you up without you having to do anything but hit the throttle\u2026)<\/p>\n \u201cFaith carries you up into my purposes. <\/p>\n \u201cI may train you while you are within the world and subject to the pull of its ways \u2026 but faith will not carry you further away from Me. <\/p>\n \u201cFaith will produce works of my Spirit, My Kingdom, My Father\u2014not works of the flesh\u2014it is not outwardly seen but by a few men (people) who have eyes to see\u2014Do YOU see? That is the eyes of faith operating in you, my son. <\/p>\n \u201cFaith without works is dead\u2014so man without faith just \u2018works\u2019\u2014he is condemned in a way to work, labor, strive at his own initiatives, according to his own will, to work at his own plans and schemes devoid of the work of My Presence\u2014yes, I can be called to come into the world of man, and asked to build the works of man, and all who avail themselves of Me earn My Peace, BUT I WILL NOT BUILD THAT WORK WHICH IS CRUMBLING DOWN IN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THOSE OF MY BELOVED WHO LABOR AND TOIL AMONG THOSE NOT SAVED BY GRACE, BY FAITH, BY THE WORKS OF ME, OF MY SPIRIT ON THEIR BEHALF \u2026 Come I say, come and let us reason together. <\/p>\n \u201cYou can call on Me from within the works of Man but I will not partner to build Satan\u2019s kingdom of darkness, slavery and bondage over your everlasting and precious souls which I came (manifested) to save you out of and save you from. <\/p>\n \u201cSo yes, I can be called INTO the works of Man, the flesh, ambition, lust of the eyes, pride of life\u2014yes, I can be called on to help you build the kingdom of ruin, but I will not be a partaker in the realm of death\u2014are you trying to revive a \u2018dead\u2019 system by bringing My Presence into it? I said Come Out Of It! Come out of her My People!! Babylon is the religious system of slavery to Mammon\u2014not just \u2018church\u2019 or \u2018false\u2019 church, or what have you, but ALL church NOT of the SAINTS, ALL Congregations of the Dead: companies, businesses, spiritual clubs.<\/p>\n \u201cHow can that which NOW LIVES partake of the fruits of death without dying once more to the rudimentary principles of life? <\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t go back to what I delivered you from!\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cSo the weasel?\u201d <\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cYes, the weasel, an articulated crawling machine that CLIMBS over every obstacle in the fallen realm\u2014it is MY SPIRIT. <\/p>\n \u201cYou could not see behind it, or understand its workings, or what it was made like\u2014SO IS MY SPIRIT! You can \u2018see\u2019 or realize it is there, but not really ever \u2018understand\u2019 it (Him) \u2026 and so you just need to trust Me, take it by Faith, Relax \u2026 and enjoy the Ride up the Mountain of the Kingdom of the Intimate Knowledge of the Lord \u2026 <\/p>\n \u201cI may train you by teaching you with the basic principles of the earth realm: eat food, drink water, seek clothes, but doing so by My Spirit \u2026 but these things Life is not made of. They are only tools of commerce, craft, handiwork, etc.\u2014what I have prepared for you is of far greater worth and value than these things. So while I may train you within the confines of your earthly existence, I have much more for you that I am training you for \u2026 So I may start your basic training from within the world system, meaning while you are still subject to its realm of carnal, human, ordinary wants and needs \u2026 Faith, walking, standing even crawling, yes, being in faith will not carry you away from Me. <\/p>\n \u201cFaith cannot do this\u2014it only produces righteousness in my sight, behavior that is attuned by and to my Holy Spirit at work within you to draw you and bring you to myself.\u201d <\/p>\n Me: \u201cAnd the Bug?\u201d <\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cYou didn\u2019t squash it. More later \u2026\u201d <\/p>\n Me: \u201cThe dirt track \u2026 the way of life few find?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cYup. Yessiree.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/br><\/p>\n Entering a \u201cWorks\u201d Zone\u2014the Works of Faith<\/b><\/p>\n Dream: I kept climbing through the forest and then suddenly I saw a man by a small stone wall with some working tools who was building something. I asked him what he was doing and he said to look to the right.<\/p>\n Me: \u201cFirst man with a wheelbarrow?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cYou were entering a Works Zone, the works of the Spirit of Faith.\u201d <\/p>\n Dream: I was then up on a hill overlooking a WIDE MOUNTAIN VALLEY spread out before me that was CLEARED OF TREES and I saw men getting ready to make a CONTAINER STORAGE AREA (for ISO shipping containers) way up here on the mountain! <\/p>\n I wondered if I could help them build since I had the weasel, although I saw they were government engineers and I was not needed.<\/p>\n Me: \u201cIt was in the Mountain Valley. A Valley on the Mountain of the Lord. A Valley of Zion. It was being made into a Shipping Container Storage Area!\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cA storage yard for \u2018GOOD\u2019s\u2019\u2014a place to play.\u201d <\/p>\n Me: \u201cLike a storehouse?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cThink of it like that \u2026 a place where \u2018good\u2019s\u2019 are stored.\u201d<\/p>\n [He said good\u2019s like \u2018good things,\u2019 like his GOODNESSES in the plural sense. His \u2018good\u2019s\u2019 \u2026 are stored there.]<\/p>\n Me: \u201cWhat \u2018Good\u2019s\u2019?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cKingdom wealth, riches. Do you not value them? <\/p>\n \u201cJOY, PEACE, LOVE,<\/p>\n \u201cHOPE, PATIENCE, PERSEVERANCE<\/p>\n \u201cFAITH \u2026 these are my Good\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n Me: [I couldn\u2019t hear any more that day and I needed to rest and the next day I had a meeting with a man about supporting us and our work for the Lord, and instead of helping me he was very rude. I got back home, upset, tired, but sat in God\u2019s presence to finish with the interpretation but was still upset and was unable to be happy about these \u2018good\u2019s\u2019 at the moment \u2026] \u201cLord I am so sorry\u2014I am so carnally motivated \u2026 My heart \u2026\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cHush\u2014sleep off the disappointment of that man\u2019s snub\u2014he\u2019ll wake up soon and know what true riches are\u2014He\u2019ll invite you back, invite you in. <\/p>\n \u201cNow let\u2019s get back to the story! The good parts are just ahead \u2026.\u201d <\/p>\n Me: \u201cWorkers \/ workmen?\u201d <\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cYes, they are angels and saints (some saints) building My Kingdom on your behalf\u2014since what you are doing is on the behalf of others (these are Kingdom riches as well\u2014reciprocity), OK, OK, leaving the mundane principles of life \u2026\u201d <\/p>\n <\/br><\/p>\n Mountain Springs: Higher Springs of Discernment<\/b><\/p>\n Dream: I saw A STREAM at the base of the hill I was on, and wondered if the mountain fish would die because of the construction, and if I could help protect them, but finally I just wanted to go into the stream and look for minnows for fun and curiosity. <\/p>\n I looked more closely at the stream and saw it was in two sections with a rocky sand bar between them. <\/p>\n Me: \u201cTrees Cleared? Obstacles removed? <\/p>\n \u201cMountain clearing? Higher realm?<\/p>\n \u201cMountain Stream? Refreshment?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cHigher springs of discernment. Mountain water is different in more oxygen and more swift\u2014more fun but \u2026 more challenging\u2014than lower rivers. <\/p>\n \u201cAs I start to teach man I use the things he is familiar with\u2014the principles of the lower order, the Earth realm\u2014sowing, reaping, harvest and toil, labor and strife, combat, war, poverty, slavery, etc., to teach him about the true riches, real possessions, real eternal wealth (Me!). Anyway, all he wants is money, fame and security for himself, for that is all he sees and knows of that will last upon the earth\u2014man\u2019s kingdom. But what a chimera they are, all those earthly riches!<\/p>\n \u201cBut that is what he knows so I use that to help instruct him away from dependence on man\u2019s system of wealth accumulation. HOW MANY TIMES DID I SAY IT?\u2014over and over\u2014that if Man would but trust Me, then Unseen, then I would lead him to treasure. Not just mundane existence, but T-R-E-A-S-U-R-E-S above, and even such treasures below, for this is what they (you) are destined for\u2014<\/p>\n \u201cBut as Man reaches higher in his walk with Me, a kind of intermediate realm, they begin to see the Eternal hereafter, and begin to see it rightly, to see it as it truly is, my friend\u2014and THAT is where many of you are on your journey. Not quite high in the clouds yet, but getting there\u2014you are beginning to see that the way of eternal riches will kill you\u2014kill what is left of your carnal inheritance and as you begin to cast it off you become eligible to put on the New Self, made righteous, made in my image, above you\u2014work it through and you\u2019ll see where you were deceived into placing earthly wealth above my higher order …. <\/p>\n \u201cSo now that you do have eyes to see, you come above the trees and see Me. That is the mountain streams, or mountain springs as they are also called\u2014of course springs are better, cleaner, but still a mountain stream has a certain, je ne sais quoi<\/i>*\u2014peace, purity, tranquility \u2026.<\/p>\n \u201cIn the higher realm of teaching and training I can compare spiritual things to spiritual things \u2026 but it is the same with any learning. First, introduction, then basic concepts, then more advanced intermediate concepts, and then the real truth that the uninitiated cannot comprehend. <\/p>\n \u201cSo it is here\u2014My Mountain Stream will refresh those prepared for it\u2014others will simply avoid or miss it since they do not comprehend it. Yes, you know the verse that talks about this from what Paul wrote about Me.\u201d <\/p>\n 1 Corinthians 2:13-14\u201413<\/sup> These things we also speak, not in words which man\u2019s wisdom teaches but which the [a]Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14<\/sup> But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; <\/b>nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. <\/p>\n (*je ne sais quoi = French, \u201cI don\u2019t know what,\u201d which means to say it has a quality that can\u2019t be easily described; an indefinable quality. God obviously knows, but He used this idiom to me to say that it is hard for me to understand the qualities of higher revelation which can\u2019t be easily reduced to or expressed accurately in human language that I could understand. Incredible that he speaks this way!) <\/p>\n Me: Then the Lord explained the rocky patch between the two pools, the gravel, and likened it to the porous aquifer through which water flows and is purified. He compared this to small nuggets of truth in us \u2026 that also purifies the flow of the Lord\u2019s water in us, not that it needs to be more pure, but that we are polluted from the world and the flesh and this mixed understanding in us pollutes the Word in us. To the Pure all things are Pure, and this gravel, small fragments of the Rock in us, purifies the flow of revelation through us\u2026 <\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cThe fine gravel is a kind of purity filter\u2014small pieces of light, truth\u2014they purify the flow of water through the aquifer, so also my truth in you helps to purify the flow of My Spirit so it will not be polluted as it mixes with what is still in and around you of the flesh and the world.\u201d<\/p>\n Me: Clearly not that the Spirit would mix, but when the Spirit reveals things to us from the Flow of Revelation, we may mix what the Lord says and means with our natural understanding, our misconceptions, our flaws and so pollute the pure meaning of truth. <\/p>\n <\/br><\/p>\n Seeing God AS HE IS\u2014No Illusion<\/b><\/p>\n Dream: Then I looked to see what may be in the stream and saw VERY LARGE FISH: on the right side I saw a DOLPHIN!! And next to it was a large STURGEON!!! They were laying side by side with other large fish as well all lined up side by side.<\/p>\n But on the left of the rocky sand bar area I saw \u2026 a WHALE \u2026 it was pale or white, and thrashed in the water when it saw me notice it and blew A BUBBLE which floated up to nearly where I was\u2026 it had seen me and was sending me this bubble! <\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cVale above, sheltered canopy of my love and provision. My Kingdom for you, about me, for you! <\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s go on \u2026\u201d <\/p>\n Me: \u201cThe Whale?\u201d <\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cBIG REVELATION\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cMy presence brings you into my deep purposes. At this level (depth or height) you begin to see me as I am\u2014no illusion. It\u2019s the beginning of your life hereafter and evermore.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Fullness of Christ is attainable by you not under the operation of your will and being but by the law of the Spirit of Grace and Trust in you operating to conform you by my will and ability to my image.<\/p>\n \u201cNot the fullness of GOD, but the fullness of Christ\u2014my Son\u2014you can rise to maturity by my promises\u2014set before you\u2014my word spoken over you, in your hearing will draw you into Me so I can have my will over and about you\u2014<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t separate journey and destination (destiny) regarding my prophecy\u2014my prophetic, my spoken promises over you\u2014you\u2019ll soon come to see they are one and the same\u2014I AM the way (the journey, the path) and the Truth and the Life (or the purpose, plan and destination) of all I have for you\u2014I am the goal of your faith\u2014I Am the exceedingly great reward for you, unto you, and all who believe in Me and Call upon my name.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Whale is my calling of you, my destiny, my purposes, my plan, my endurance, my word of deep things too big and grand for your easy comprehension\u2014you can\u2019t swallow them. In fact, they have to swallow you. Being in the belly of the whale takes on a whole new significance now doesn\u2019t it? It\u2019s the place when you are arrested by my plans and purposes for you\u2014you\u2019ll be digested, transformed, changed\u2014renewed by my word spoken over and about and spoken concerning you.\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cThat\u2019s what I used to call an elephant symbolically.\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cYes, but you got caught up looking for a system of interpretation\u2014but I will not give my keys to strangers. You can\u2019t CRACK my Code, Edward\u2014don\u2019t even try\u2014Men cannot figure me out\u2014I resist their efforts to reduce me to a puzzle or a board game\u2014my secrets are reserved for those who fear me, not those who devise a better system of interpretation.\u201d <\/p>\n Me: \u201cThe Bubble?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cThe revelation bubbling up\u2014prophecy to others to manifest my deep hidden truths\u2014\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThe whale thrashed and made a bubble and gave it to you\u2014you reached out and laid hold of it\u2014laid hold of my purposes for you\u2014I am happy with you for that.<\/p>\n \u201cYou will go forth and prophesy to many people\u2014nations, languages (tongues), people groups \u2026 that\u2019s my will for you.<\/p>\n \u201cDon\u2019t worry about the false sheep, worthless teachers of Egypt and Babylon\u2014they have their place, their end, their doom is coming upon them lest they repent. Don\u2019t fret.\u201d<\/p>\n Dream: I slid down the slope and caught it (the bubble), and back up above me some people LOWERED A ROPE to help me get back up. It was \u201cMY HELPER\u201d and a few other people too\u2014I tried climbing the rope as they pulled it but IT WAS BETTER TO JUST HOLD ON AND LET THEM PULL ME UP! <\/p>\n At the top I saw \u2026 A ROBOT doing kitchen work, wearing an ELEPHANT-theme joke apron. When I saw it I said, \u201cI LOVE ROBOTS!\u201d<\/p>\n Then I saw a poster or display sign (maybe it was interactive) that had some kind of rough or mean spirited JOKES ABOUT OFFICE LIFE.<\/p>\n Me: \u201cWhen I reached for the bubble, I slid down the slope. Is this backsliding?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cNot really.\u201d<\/p>\n Me: \u201cWhy did I need help to get back up?\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cYou just needed help and I got you well looked after. Lifeline, a rope of helps.\u201d <\/p>\n Me: \u201cThe Robot, the Kitchen, elephant apron \u2026 I said, \u201cI love robots!\u201d\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cWhat happens when you enter my rest? That\u2019s right, you cease from your labor. This is my word working on your behalf.\u201d <\/p>\n Me: \u201cI LOVE ROBOTS!!!\u201d<\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cI knew you would\u2014I know this means a lot to you\u2014you work hard and are diligent and you will be rewarded richly \/ handsomely for it.\u201d <\/p>\n Me: \u201cWhy does it NOW work on my behalf and not before?\u201d <\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cBecause you are not in my rest, you are in reliance on your own energies and strengths, fueled by your ambitions and self desires \u2026 how do you know if you have entered my rest?\u201c<\/p>\n Me: \u201cI don\u2019t know \u2026\u201d <\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cUse your nose \u2026.\u201d <\/p>\n Me: \u201cMy nose?\u201d <\/p>\n The Lord: \u201cYes, what do you smell around you? Sweat? What do you hear? Panting? Then labor to enter your rest, not to complete your labors.\u201d <\/p>\n And then He said the Mean Office Jokes represented the meanness of corporate office life that I faced for a time, contrasting it to God\u2019s fun and refreshing \u2018robot\u2019 where we enter his rest. <\/p>\n And there was more to the dream but it was very tiring to sit so high in the Lord\u2019s presence to hear him talk like that and so I took a break and didn\u2019t get any insight for the rest of the word. It was a lot of symbolism which seemed to refer to Jesus and people he would send to help with worship ministry, but I don\u2019t want to share confusing dream symbolism without a clear interpretation. So I\u2019ll wrap it up here. [End]<\/p>\n <\/br><\/p>\n #3: Prophetic Word: \u2018Emotions, Covering, Submission to False Authority\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n When I published a public version of the vision of the Abusive Gorilla in HKI I added a teaching Jesus spoke to me about several topics, including ‘Emotions, Covering and Submitting to False Spiritual Authority.’ It\u2019s a lot of powerful revelation that will purify your mind and ideas on these commonly misunderstood topics. It really didn\u2019t fit thematically in that chapter so I am including it here. This is the word Jesus taught me: <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Emotions\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cPeople say when you warfare to \u2018sow in the opposite spirit,\u2019 but if that were always true then your warfare is sown against what demonic environment? Peace? No, I tell you to put on your armor every day.<\/p>\n \u201cInstead of merely \u2018sowing in the opposite spirit,\u2019 I tell you today I want my chosen vessels to \u2018flow in the Holy Spirit.\u2019 That will lead you to victory in all warfare, not just being able to respond with a calm demeanor when someone comes against you in impatience or anger. For I tell you, not all anger is from me, but not all \u2018peace\u2019 is from me either. If you want to pacify people, be wise in handling your emotions. And if you want to be victorious in your warfare, then \u2018flow in the Holy Spirit\u2019 and you will conquer the forces of darkness that seek to enslave your soul\u2014which is what you really want, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n \u201cI want you to read my Word carefully, and understand who I AM. I also have \u2018emotions\u2019 for I am an emotional God, and I am the author of your capacity for emotions. I do not function emotionally entirely as you do, you who are still subject to the chaos and confusion of the fallen world, but through my redemptive purposes of the Son of God dying in your stead, you have been made free from the hold of confusion and corruption. Don\u2019t trust all of your emotions, but don\u2019t discount all of them either. Sometimes your passionate emotions are from Me too you know, from my Spirit into your inner man, such as compassion, the bitterness of grief [at sin, injustice, etc.], and the hunger of longing that my holy apostles and prophets such as Jesus displayed with such fervency.<\/p>\n \u201cI want you to be clear in seeing that I get upset at people. It is not a cover to the flesh emotions, but I got mad enough at Moses to want to kill him and all the people more than once.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is dismissed by people nowadays saying, \u2018But that is the God of the Old Testament\u2019\u2014Am I two different God\u2019s? This is a false teaching. I AM the same Yesterday, Today and Forever.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Covering\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cSecond, about \u2018covering\u2019\u2014this means control\u2014and where the Spirit of the Lord is there is FREEDOM\u2014so where is there room for control? The only control I do is through you to be conformed willingly into the image of My Son who is One with Me\u2014we, you and I, are or will be One as well\u2014so where is there need for me to control you and FORCE you to become like me, follow my plans, or play \u2018follow the leader\u2019?<\/p>\n \u201cThink long and hard about this the next time some man or woman tells you to \u2018submit\u2019 in this forceful way\u2014I do not force my way\u2014I am God, and yet I invite you to come and reason with Me. You can come to me with any question you might have and I am good. I am your Father. I know your thoughts. I know what you are going through. I know what you are dealing with. I will love. I will understand. I will help. I will guide. I will teach. I will instruct. I will explain. I work with infinite patience and mercy. I am slow to anger and I do not control like man controls. My heart is to set you free, not to force my way. Herein lies the difference.<\/p>\n \u201cI love you\u2014what reason could I give, what possible justification could I give to MYSELF for wanting or trying to control you by shouting SUBMIT! There is a creature that seeks to control you who shouts like that from every lofty hill\u2014his will is to steal, kill and destroy the sheep of my pasture. But I cannot let him for I Am perfect and that would be wrong of Me to violate the trust of innocent lambs who\u2019ve placed their trust in Me after I told them I would protect and provide for them.<\/p>\n \u201cThis is what a covering actually means\u2014it is a wedding song\u2014a bridal veil\u2014a delicate embroidery that touches your head with love, joy, singing\u2014and more love! It is a JOY to wear the wedding gown!\u2014it is never a burden to have to submit to wearing the garment of praise! Who has led you astray by speaking counsel without wisdom or proper enlightenment?<\/p>\n \u201cYes, anyone can give you their reasoned opinions\u2014but they can still be dead wrong, and I don\u2019t use that term lightly\u2014dead wrong, as wrong as death, do you get it?\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Submitting to False Spiritual Authority\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n \u201cAgain I speak to you My Bride, DO NOT SUBMIT TO FALSE ANYTHING. Did My Son submit to those under the influence of the religious spirits? People say submit at all cost to your leader even if he\u2019s dead wrong\u2014why do they say that? Otherwise you will be labeled a rebel? Yes, there are rebels, but do not entertain every accusation against yourself. They called my humble servant David rebellious, and even my son Jesus\u2014yet did they worry about their reputations? What is the worst that man can do? Slander you, cast you out, stone you, kill you? Do not fear the one who can kill the body and after that do no more\u2014for the time has come for them to fear the God who has the power to cast into hell. The time has come NOW to choose whom ye shall serve: Me, or Baal, Mammon and control spirits of wickedness that afflict my people. Where the Spirit of the Lord is there is Freedom!<\/p>\n \u201cAnd where do I ever say submit to Satan? [James 4:7, 1 Peter 5:8-9] Where do I ever say to submit to false prophets who say, \u201cPeace, peace\u2014there is no need to fight or struggle. There is no need to pray or fight the enemy or loose your sword!\u201d NO, do not submit to them but defy them to their face! [Ezekiel 3:8-9] Stand like a Lion that I AM in and through you to tear down the works of the enemy and deliver my weak, humble people from these devouring jaws that cry out \u2018peace\u2019 when there is no peace!\u201d [End]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So this section is not part of the narrative but I\u2019ll just now share a…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":132,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-53","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chapters"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prayermountainbohol.com\/8plussplash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prayermountainbohol.com\/8plussplash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prayermountainbohol.com\/8plussplash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prayermountainbohol.com\/8plussplash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prayermountainbohol.com\/8plussplash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=53"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/prayermountainbohol.com\/8plussplash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":417,"href":"https:\/\/prayermountainbohol.com\/8plussplash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/53\/revisions\/417"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prayermountainbohol.com\/8plussplash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/132"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prayermountainbohol.com\/8plussplash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prayermountainbohol.com\/8plussplash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prayermountainbohol.com\/8plussplash\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=53"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
