Open Doors

I’ve seen this vision for the past couple of days so I’m going to post it here. What I’ve been seeing is that I am looking upward towards the sky. Nothing special about that. Right? Then I noticed that there were doors, many doors being opened towards earth.

At this point this is what I am seeing. As I get further clarification I will add to this  post 

Revelation 4:1
The Throne Room of Heaven

4​ After these things I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven. And the first voice which I heard was like a trumpet speaking with me, saying, “Come up here, and I will show you things which must take place after this.”

The open doors, I feel, is an invitation being extended to come up higher. 

A Dream About The Cross

I had a dream05/15/2017 where I was standing on a cross that shone with a white light. Being that I was standing on the cross I too was in the light coming from the cross. I saw that all around me was total darkness yet, as I stated previously,  I was in the light because I was standing on the cross. As I continued standing there, I felt a powerful wind begin to blow at my back. I sensed its power but the wind did not knock me off the cross as this wasn’t its purpose. 

Standing upon the cross has to do with walking in the light and being in fellowship with Jesus. The mighty wind was the Holy Spirit and the fact that the wind was at my back and not in my face  tells me that I was cooperating with the Holy Spirit and not resisting Him.

Snatched Out Of The Fire

​Jud 1:22 — Jud 1:23

And on some have compassion, making a distinction; but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.

I was shown a vision this morning where I saw people standing on the edge of cliffs.  There was a divide between the cliffs. The people on the cliffs had the longest shepherd’s staves I’ve ever seen and each person was holding his staff upside down with the crook of the staff over the cliff. Far below I could see sheep who apparently had fallen over the cliff and there were trees growing out of the cliff, although not very big, that had kept them from falling further. Further down I saw fire burning, possibly a river of fire which I believed to be  hell. I then saw the people with the enormously long shepherd’s crooks rescuing the sheep by standing at the edge of the cliff, lowering their shepherd’s crook, place it underneath the sheep and begin the process of lifting the sheep back onto the cliff and to the safety of the mountain.

The tree stubs sticking out of the mountain represent God’s grace not willing any should perish. 

I noted that the lambs caught in the tree stub were not struggling but were still. 

The vision reminds me of a dream I had 7 years ago.

I had a dream in November of 2010. In this dream I was walking in front of a group of people, perhaps I was leading them. I was walking at the edge of a cliff and I was so high p, I couldn’t see the bottom. I do not in the natural ever remember being that high up let alone in the times when I am dreaming. I can remember being terrified and seemed to know that if I fell, it would mean death. I did slip once and was able to grab hold of a tree and pull myself back up onto the ledge. I was conscious of every step I took as I was walking in the ledge of this cliff.

My own personal interpretation of the dream is that it has to do with ministry. The fact that I was on a ledge meant that is was a ministry that could be dangerous if I did not watch my step. My not being able to see the bottom of the mountain tells me that if I fall, “sin”, there is no climbing back up onto the cliff where I fell from. I can remember awaking from this dream terrified.

My thoughts on the current vision and prior dream are that they are related to ministry of a dangerous nature. No one in their right mind would walk the edge of a cliff but would instead prefer the safety of having both feet planted on solid ground.

However,  Christ did not call us to play it safe but rather told us that He would be with us till the end.

Are You Known By Name

I had the following dream  in June of 2010.

The reason I post it again is because of a subsequent dream I had a few nights ago which I will post below the dream.

“Now there was a rich man, and he habitually dressed in purple and fine linen, joyously living in splendor every day. “And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores, and longing to be fed with the crumbs which were falling from the rich man’s table; besides, even the dogs were coming and licking his sores. “Now the poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham’s bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried. “In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and *saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom. “And he cried out and said, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.’ “But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony. ‘And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.’ “And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father’s house– for I have five brothers–in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ “But Abraham *said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ “But he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!’ “But he said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.’”

(Luke 16:19-31 NASB)

I had the preceding passage of scripture shown to me as I was waking up the Morning of May 31, 2010

Subj: Luke 16:19-31
The Lord revealed this to me as I was waking the morning of May 31, 2010. The 2 people that Jesus talks about here are actual people and the only parable told by Jesus where a person’s name was used. One of the people is simply known as, “a certain rich man”, while the other, a beggar, is known by Jesus as Lazarus. They both suffer the same fate that is common to all men which is death. However, here is where the differences are.

1. Lazarus is known by his name and carried by God’s angels into Abraham’s bosom.
2. The rich man is not known by his name but by his sin and lifestyle and is buried.
3. The rich man realizes he is in hell and why he is there.
4. The rich man recognizes Lazarus
5. The rich man has concern for his brothers but is powerless to do anything about their condition and knows that if they don’t change, they will end up where he is.
6. In heaven you cannot sin and in hell, you can’t repent
7. In heaven you have no past and in hell you have no future

As I stated above I had a dream several nights ago. In the dream I saw empty sheep pens. Some had no shepherd while others had a shepherd who was standing but was standing watch over an empty sheep pen. I then saw the back of the Lord holding a shepherd’s staff in hand walking by the sheep pens. 

In the book of John it says the following:

Jn 10:1 — Jn 10:5

Jesus the True Shepherd

10​ “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.”

I do not know why some pens were empty with no shepherd while others were empty with a shepherd  standing in the doorway except to speculate that some were empty because the undershephered was a hirling and fled when the wolf came. While those standing in front of empty pens could have opened to Jesus realizing that the sheep belonged to Him or the sheep heard Jesus’ voice and left the pen to follow Him.

The tie in both dreams is the aspect of being known by your name and being called by name. Not having/hearing Jesus call you by name should literally scare the “hell” out of you.  

Nuclear War, Another Dream

I had a dream this morning before waking where I saw a mushroom cloud floating across the United States.  It seemed to be moving from east to west. As the cloud moved it blocked out the sun as would a rain cloud.  I am posting several dreams from a few years ago that I feel are pertinent to this dream.

I had a dream 10/08/2014 where I saw a nuclear tipped missile launch from North Korea and hit the United States.  I am not sure where it hit but I do remember it being the United States.  When the United States struck back then China became involved.  I don’t have any more details than this currently, however, it’s very foreboding, at least to me,  that I would have such a dream on the day of the 2nd blood moon of 2014.
Definitely something to take to the Lord in prayer.

I had a dream 04/03/2013 where I witnessed a nuclear explosion. I saw the flash and the ensuing mushroom cloud. I then heard Bora Bora being spoken. Bora Bora is in French Polynesia. That was the end of the dream. Not sure if this has anything to do with what’s going on with North Korea or not. Something for us all to pray about.

I had a dream 06/10/2012 . What I saw in the dream and am still seeing in my mind’s eye is a military commander raising out of the sea. At his command, as I saw him raise his hands from his sides, many, many missiles came up out of the sea. There were 2 particularly large missiles, much larger than the rest, they could have been nuclear missiles. If I had to guess, I would say that they were cruise missiles. If this attack emanated from the sea, then my guess is that the missiles came from a submarine. The warheads, in my dream were headed towards the United States. I do not know the specific ocean from whence the missiles were being fired but my guess is that these missiles were being directed at a military target(s) within the US.

This could make what happened on 9/11 like child’s play. If indeed the 2 large missiles in my dream are nuclear warheads, then the damage would be extensive and the lives lost would be catastrophic. I am still in prayer about this.

Pray that this warning dream does not come to fruition. Pray for God’s mercy and continued. Remember Abraham’s prayer , “would you sweep away the righteous along with the wicked? Remember, this would affect Christian and unbeliever alike.

I had this same dream again in August of 2012, however, this time I was telling the dream to a pastor that I know. The pastor paid no attention to what I was telling him. Instead, his attention was focused on fixing a toy for the children’s ministry.

The above  dream I first had in June of 2012. I had it again in August of that same year. And yet again in July of 2016 only this time it was in a vision and I find it no coincidence that the dream would be brought back to my memory after the dream I had the previous night entitled, “WAR”,. This is weighing heavily upon my heart because of destruction and loss of life that would be brought about by such an attack.

The “WAR” dream mentioned above is posted below.

I had a dream the morning of 07/25/2016. In this dream I found myself standing in the Oval Office in front of the president’s desk.  I remember saying the following words, ” Mr. President, war is upon you”, and then I vanished from his office. I am not sure whether or not this was the current president or not although it could have been. Secondly, I know that it was a man I was addressing. It seems that I was wisked in and out by the Holy Spirit. This is all I know at this point in time. As I receive further revelation, I will post it. As with all my posts I encourage readers to take this to the Lord in prayer and see what He says to you.

This is a time for prayer and fasting and not a time for gloating over the potential destruction and loss of life of a nation because, “God’s judgement has finally come”.  This is a time to be praying for our leaders that God would grant them wisdom to know how to act in this situation.

 

 

The British Are Coming!!

During the days of the revolutionary war this was not a good thing to hear but instead a cry to be prepared for battle.

Fast forward to the 21st century and I will post below a vision that started 04/19/201)7. In the vision I literally saw the red coats coming to the United States only instead of bearing rifles and other artillery the were carrying Bibles. I felt the Lord say that they will come with the anointing that George Whitfield had. Just as the red coats were not welcomed nor wanted by the colonists I sensed that these red coats carrying Bibles will not be welcomed by the churches just as Whitfield wasn’t.

As with anything I post, take this to prayer and see what the Lord speaks to your heart regarding it. 

Something’s Missing

In  October 2010 I had a dream and in the dream I was in a different
house  than the one I currently live in now, in fact, it
looked a lot like the house that my family and I lived in when
we were living in North Carolina except that it was in a
neighborhood and had a huge back yard. As I was saying when I
woke up, in the dream, I felt very weak and noticed that my right thumb, I
write with my right hand, had been slit lengthways and that
blood had  drained out of it. When my wife, Debbie, awoke, in the dream, she
too had the same slit in her thumb and blood drained out and
she too was very weak.

The thumb is an integral part of the hand and it’s very hard to do a number of things without the aid of the thumb. 

Fast forward 7 years and my wife has the following insights on the dream. 

However,  the slit, I believe, relates to the Apostolic gifts –
represented by our thumbs, are bloodied by the ‘church” trying  to cut it off from the church and that God is now in the process of restoring the 5 fold ministry (INCLUDING YOUR PROPHECTIC GIFT).    The old walled church will be knocked down and our backyard
ministry will be beginning. 

This now coupled with the recent  posting by fellow blogger, Richard Barker, where he posts a dream by Simon Braker. I have included the link below for viewing. 

Simon Braker: A new season and restoration of the Apostolic Church – http://wp.me/p1Y1yB-9yW

As the thumb is definitely needed in order for the hand to function properly So the thumb, i.e., the apostolic is needed for the church to function properly. 

 

Sifting of the United States

Before fully waking I had the following vision where I saw a giant sieve in the form of the United States being held by 2 hands and it was being shaken back and forth. I saw quite a lot of what I will call dirt fall through the sieve but there were things that remained. I remember seeing church buildings sitting on top of the sieve crumble when the hands holding the sieve began to shake it. I saw much fall through the sieve, in fact, what was left after the sifting was unrecognizable as one would normally be able to identify a church building when looking at it.

What comes to mind here is the verses from Hebrews.

Heb 12:25 — Heb 12:27

Hear the Heavenly Voice

See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” Now this, “Yet once more,” indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.

Terrorism in America, A Dream Revisited

I had a dream 07/04/2014 where I was walking along, not noticing anything out of the ordinary, when my attention was drawn to an area where I was that did not look any different from my surroundings. However as I went towards where I was being drawn, I saw a slit as in a curtain. Had my attention not been drawn towards this, “slit” in material, I would have never seen nor noticed it, it was that well camouflaged. I stuck my head in the slit and saw a big table and there were men dressed in black, some without turbans, but most with. There was an individual in the middle who had a large scroll and when he unfolded it on the table, I could see that it was a map of the United States. I then could see various colored push pins being placed on various locations on the map. I noticed a large amount of them, all of different colors were placed in northern California. That is just what stood out in the dream, although there were these push pins in other parts of the map as I stated above. I did not hear any of the discussions that were going on, however, I got the sense that these were attacks that were being planned against the United States. When I pulled my head out of the slit in the fabric I had stuck it in, there was an angel standing with a scroll in his hand which he handed me and I was told to go warn the others.

So, as I was directed by the angel in this dream, which, by the way was on the 4th of July 2014, I am again posting the dream.

I would encourage all who read this to take it to the Lord in prayer and see what He speaks to you.

Wolves in Sheep’s Clothing

I had a dream where I was standing on a platform overlooking a crowd of people. The platform in the dream was not for the purpose of exultation but rather observation as it enabled me to see above and into the crowd. What I saw was a group of pastors and/or church leaders wearing sheep skins but they were not covered completely as I could make out who they were in the dream. I believe this to be the case because I was being shown by the Holy Spirit who these people were and not who they purported to be. What is sad is that each of these sheep skins came from a living sheep who had to be slaughtered in order for the sheepskin to be worn by the pastor/leader disguising himself/herself as one of the sheep. I remember seeing some skins with blood still dripping from them. This could have been a pastor/leader who had just recently  decided to turn to evil.

Jesus told us in Scripture to be wary of those who come in sheep’s clothing but inwardly were ravenous wolves.
Mat 7:15 — Mat 7:16

You Will Know Them by Their Fruits

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
The Apostle Paul gave a similar warning to the Ephesian elders when departing for Jerusalem. 

Act 20:29 — Act 20:30

For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock. Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.

Note that one of the characteristics that Paul points out is that these wolves speak perverse things in order to draw disciples after themselves. 

Paul also said the following:

1 Corinthians 11:1

11​ Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.

The goal here is for the leader to model Christ and to draw one’s attention away from himself/herself and towards Christ.

This should be the litmus test as to whether or not a leader is godly or a wolf. Is he/she pointing you to Christ or to themselves?
