A Dream about a Wallet (05/29/2010)

I had a dream and in this dream a young woman, sort of attractive in an evil sense, had come to me and told me that someone had stolen my wallet. I told her that it was she who had stolen my wallet, and, as I went to get it back from her, she tried holding it up beyond my reach so that I would be unable to get it. Instead of giving me my wallet back, she offered me a black case of CD’s . I told her that I did not want the CD case but instead wanted my wallet back. It was then that I pinned her to the ground and took back my wallet. She was cursing me all the while I had her pinned to the ground and I continued to hold her thee until the police came to take her away. I was given a partial interpretation of this dream by the Lord but not the complete one. The rest of the interpretation came from a friend of mine in North Carolina and it was again confirmed by a member of our simple church.The fact that in my dream this woman was trying to give me the CD's in lieu of retrning my wallet tells me that she was trying to convince me that they had the equality of my wallet which they do not. My identity, credibility and life itself are hid with Christ. Teachings cannot replace going to the source of living water which is the Lord. To rely soley on teachings is equivilant to digging a cistern for yourself. I believe that your doctrine must be constantly evolving because the Lord is constantly showing us something new about His character. And, the only way we are abole to learn is to sit at the feet of Jesus for ourselvse.

What is contained in a wallet?

A driver’s license speaks to your identity. When Jesus was being tested in the wilderness, on of the first things that Satan tested Him on was His identity, "If you are the Son of God"

Credit cards speak to your reputation and credibility in other words, you hold fast to the Word of God and in His Word do you trust and base your life.

The cd case containing the cd’s represented false teaching that this woman was trying to give me instead of my wallet. She did not want me to have my wallet(the Word of God) because of what it represented and the power that comes from knowing the truth about who I am in Christ.

It is my  belief that one of the biggest hindrances today is that people have made the teachings of men equal to the Word of God in their lives. As a result, people are dependent on milk were they entrust others to digest the word for them(pastors and leaders) rather than learning how to eat the meat of the Word for themselves.One of the biggest reasons I have heard for people either leaving or joining a church is that they are/are not being fed and so  we have an entire generation of infants.

Another A Dream on Ezeliel 37, The Valley of Dry Bones

I had a dream, March 12, 2010, in the dream, I saw a human body laying on the ground. Ordinarily, this wouldn’t have been anything special except that the body was completely flat because it had no bones in it. What the Lord showed me was that the bones are representative of people and it is people that make up the structure of the church. this is what what the Lord had showed me in Ezekiel 37, “the valley of dry bones”. In Ezekiel’s vision, the Lord took him and made him to set down in a valley. The valley is symbolic of death and despair. There were many bones in that valley they were both very dry because they had no covering and they were also scattered, meaning that they were not connected(no relationship). When the Lord asks Ezekiel ,”can these bones live” , Ezekiel knew that bones, were without life and hope of ever having life. Yet the Lord tells him to prophecy to the bones and say,”hear the word of the Lord”. The Lord, through the prophetic word spoken spoken by Ezekiel brought the disjointed bones together,however, bones cannot attach themselves to one another, they need ligaments(relationships) to hold them together. However, the ligaments themselves do not posses the strength to hold the bones together alone. So, wrapped around the ligaments is muscle(representative of leadership), which brings me to the skin, which is the covering(representative of the church),which brings me back to my latest dream about the body with no bones. Everything heretofore mentioned is needed by/for the skin(church) in order for it to take shape. The skin will adapt to the structure it is covering. Even though Ezekiel saw the body formed, he notes that there is no breath in them. As James says, the body without the spirit is dead, so was the case here in Ezekiels vision. It looked like a body but it had no life because the breath had not come into the body. Again he is told to prophecy to the 4 winds and command breath to come into the body and it is at this point that they stood on their feet and became an exceeding great army. The point here that I feel that the Lord is saying is that every part of the body is needed for it to function properly. The body(church) is to be a living organism, not organization, made up of billions of individual cells. Eph. 2:22 says that we are built together for a dwelling place for God by his Spirit. Lastly, Col2:19 says that it is He who puts us together in one peice, whose very breath and blood flow through us. He is the head and we are the body. We can grow up healthy in God only as he nourishes us.

The Wall of the Religious Dam is About to Burst February 12, 2010

In the original vision I saw a large dam, picture Hoover dam if you will. As you know, the wall of this dam and its height are enormous.In this vision, the dam served 2 purposes: 1. it regulated the flow of water and 2. it restricted the movement of the fish within the dam as they can swim no further than the wall of the dam. The next thing I saw was thousands upon thousands of fish at the dam wall wanting to go forward but were prevented from doing so because of the dam’s wall. The wall in this vision is a picture of the church, as it has restricted if not altogether stopped, the flow of water, the Holy Spirit, and it has restricted the flow of fish(people within the church) by erecting a wall called sacred and secular. As I said before, when picturing this wall, imagine Hoover Dam, and for a wall of this size and magnitude to be destroyed, it would be only by the hand of God. But that is precisely what I saw in the next part of this vision. I saw this wall crumble and a torrent of both fish and water came out with great force. Down stream there were, “fishermen”, these represent simple church pastors, holding a net. A key here is that they were holding one net not many. Each pastor had a responsibility for holding his part of the net. Secondly, the net was being held vertically, and its purpose was not to catch the fish that were coming but to 1. protect the fish from hurting themselves, because they were coming downstream with a violent force and 2. the net served as guidance to see to it that the fish bounced off the net and back into the stream. This net was not for catching and keeping fish, fish out of water will die. The fish, on their own, formed schools, house/simple churches, and went with the flow of the torrent. Rivers, as you know, flow into oceans and oceans touch nations. The reason this wall has not crumbled yet is because there are not enough, “fishermen” to hold the net and why it is so vital that they be raised up as quickly as possible.

Follow The Stream February 19, 2010

Eze 47:3 He walked to the east with a measuring tape and measured off fifteen hundred feet, leading me through water that was ankle-deep.

Eze 47:4 He measured off another fifteen hundred feet, leading me through water that was knee-deep. He measured off another fifteen hundred feet, leading me through water waist-deep.

Eze 47:5 He measured off another fifteen hundred feet. By now it was a river over my head, water to swim in, water no one could possibly walk through.

The Lord showed me a vision today based on these verses from Ezekiel. In the vision I saw a stream that was ankle-deep and people were crossing over the stream to get to the other side. The stream to them was an obstacle to be crossed that stood in the way of them and the other side(their ministry). Others walked in the stream for a bit and then got out because the water was only ankle – deep and it was easy to get in and out of the stream, Still others walked in the stream following the path of the stream faithfully wherever it went.

As this last group followed the stream the water began to rise and it became knee-deep, yet still easy enough for anyone who wanted to,  to get out of the stream and onto dry land.  Those who remained faithful and followed the path of the stream found that the water was now waist deep, and although a lot more difficult, there still exists a way out of the water for those who chose to get out. Finally, the faithful ones who followed the stream from the time it was ankle-deep water until it was waist deep find themselves in a river that was over their head and in water that no one could possibly walk through.

The explanation of the vision is this: The water is the Holy Spirit. There are those involved in ministry that see the stream as an obstacle to get to the bank on the other side(their ministry) rather than a path to follow. Then there were those who wanted to get their feet wet in the ankle-deep water and then quickly get out because their level of commitment was as shallow as the stream that they walked/crossed. They liked the idea of going along with the current of the stream (the Holy Spirit) at first but lost interest because the water was only ankle-deep( the miracles & signs and wonders weren’t enough to keep their attention)  Then there were those who pursued the water until it was knee-deep, a deeper commitment by those who pursued the stream when it was just a small stream and they are representative of those who have surrendered a greater amount of their will than those in the ankle-deep water. And, the anointing on that is on their lives shows it Then we have those who have followed the stream from ankle-deep to waist-deep. The deeper you go in the stream is in direct proportion to how much of your will is surrendered to God’s will. The deeper you go the harder it is to get out, although it is still possible to do so. The deeper the water, the greater the anointing, the presence, the power and ministry. Finally we see the faithful ones who have faithfully followed the stream from the time it was ankle-deep to where we see the that the water has become a river and  is over the heads of those in it  and no one could possibly walk through it. These 4 stages of water depth represent the ever-increasing presence and power and anointing that the Holy Spirit is , and will be poured  out. Those who are among those  who are in water over their head are those who have completely surrendered their will to the will of God and it is these who will walk in signs and wonders ministry such as not even the Apostles saw.

There is no short that can be taken here. In order for one to have the Spirit’s anointing, presence, and power , they must follow the path of the stream from within the stream and not on the banks. And, it must be followed from ankle-deep to the river that no one could possibly cross.

Also realize that it looks from a common sense perspective to follow a stream’s path from within the stream, very stupid and foolish. It makes much more sense to follow the streams path from the safety of the bank and on dry ground. Those who pursue the course of the stream from within the stream will be looked at as foolish and stupid.

Building the Temple, One Stone at a Time March 12, 2010

Exo 20:25 And if you will make Me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stone. For if you lift up your tool (key phrase) upon it, you have defiled it. (People are living stones from which the spiritual house of worship is built. To take a tool, i.e., mold them to fit what we think they should be and what we think that they should look like and where they should fit, is to in effect tell God how he will be worshiped in His own house.)

Eph 2:20 You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone. 1Co 3:11 For any other foundation can no one lay than the one being laid, who is Jesus Christ.(The foundation, like the church is a work in progress as the church grows the foundation is laid to support it. )

Eph 2:21 In Him the whole structure is joined (bound, welded) together harmoniously, and it continues to rise (grow, increase) into a holy temple in the Lord [a sanctuary dedicated, consecrated, and sacred to the presence of the Lord]. (the Temple is a work in progress and will continue to be so until the day we are all in heaven at the marriage supper of the Lamb when: Rev 21:22 And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, even the Lamb.)

Eph 2:22 In Him [and in fellowship with one another](here is the foundation of home groups/ the Simple Church) you yourselves also are being built up(a work in progress, not a finished work) [into this structure] with the rest, to form a fixed abode (dwelling place) (the goal of the work) of God in (by, through) the Spirit.

1Pe 2:4 Come to Him [then, to that] Living Stone which men tried and threw away(their attempts to manipulate and form the Stone into something that they wanted failed so they threw it away), but which is chosen [and] precious in God’s sight. [Ps. 118:22; Isa. 28:16.] (the temple will be built out of stones that the world/American Church considers worthless but are precious in the sight of the Lord. Here is a caution for all, make sure that we use no tool on these stones for they belong to the Lord and are chosen by Him and are precious in His sight)

1Pe 2:5 [Come] and, like living stones, be yourselves built(the stones are being fitted by the Lord one at a time. Care, forethought and divine purpose go into the placement of each stone. Each stone is just that, an individual stone with its own unique characteristics yet it is fitted and joined together by the Lord into His temple) [into] a spiritual house, for a holy (dedicated, consecrated) priesthood, to offer up [those] spiritual sacrifices [that are] acceptable and pleasing to God through Jesus Christ.( these home groups are meant to be discipleship groups and covenant-building relationship groups. These groups, although made up of individual stones, are in turn to be part of The corporate body, The Church of Jesus Christ, for it is only in the dynamic of covenant relationship with one another and with the Lord  that true worship will be experienced I saw in a vision,  many people and as they gathered they became like living stones in the temple wall. The wall did not keep people out, instead, as people came to the living wall, they became part of it. The building, if you will, had walls created by people joining together to worship the Lord, however, the building had no roof. Instead, it’s covering was the glory of God and it was His glory spilling out over the walls, because the glory of God cannot be contained, that was drawing people.

A Dream March 12, 2010

I had a dream . In the dream I saw a young boy and in his arms he was carrying 2 stone tablets much like the ones we all saw Moses carry in the movie The 10 Commandments. These tablets that the child was carrying were in fact the law of God. They were proportionate to his size. He had to carry them and had to speak to his father while holding them. As he grew, the tablets grew along with him until one day he could no longer bear to hold them and the tablets then became two stone doors with the law written on them and they totally blocked the access to the Father. In disgust and disappointment the boy stopped trying to pursue a relationship with his Father and went away.

It is said in the Talmud that the temple doors were 75 feet high and 25 feet wide and it took 25 men to open these doors. Yet after the death and resurrection of Jesus they are said to have  mysteriously opened  by themselves.

When the curtain in the temple was torn in two the way to the Father was once again  opened. Why do we, the church, stand in front of the doors restricting access when Jesus died that all may have access to the Father.  The Church has for the most part become a social club with its own set of rules for membership and acceptance. Christianity has gone from whomsoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved to whomsoever fits our mold, our lifestyle, and our interpretation of the bible will be saved. Since when is it necessary to join a particular church/denomination to become a Christian.

Luk 11:46 He said, “Yes, and I can be even more explicit. You’re hopeless, you religion scholars! You load people down with rules and regulations, nearly breaking their backs, but never lift even a finger to help.

Luk 11:52 “You’re hopeless, you religion scholars! You took the key of knowledge, but instead of unlocking doors, you locked them(I believe that the church are the doors blocking access to Jesus )You won’t go in yourself, and won’t let anyone else in either.”

These 2 verses describe the modern-day church. We have lost our first love, we have lost our passion for the lost. Instead of agonizers in prayer we have organizers instead of prayer we have programs, instead of repentance and deliverance we are taught tolerance. Anyone who is really pressing into a relationship with the Lord is labeled a nut and he/she is discouraged from becoming too fanatical.

I believe that we as a church need to return to our first love, as Jesus said to the church at Ephesus ,”remember the height from which you have fallen”. I believe that this is the first church mentioned both positionally and prophetically by our Lord.

In addition we need also to Heed the warning Peter gave to the Disciples in Acts 15.

Act 15:5 But some who believed [who acknowledged Jesus as their Savior and devoted themselves to Him] belonged to the sect of the Pharisees, and they rose up and said, It is necessary to circumcise [the Gentile converts] and to charge them to obey the Law of Moses.

Act 15:10 Now then, why do you try to test God by putting a yoke on the necks of the disciples, such as neither our forefathers nor we [ourselves] were able to endure? (Before the fall God had sole possession of the knowledge of good and evil. After Jesus death and resurrection it was returned to its rightful owner, the Lord. Why would anyone in their right mind want to carry this burden, and what’s more, why would anyone want to inflict it upon anyone else and force them to carry it ?)

Act 15:11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace (the undeserved favor and mercy) of the Lord Jesus, just as they [are].

We need to repent as a church, return to our first love , and, instead of being a hindrance to the sinner seeking Jesus we need to be the facilitator. We need relationship not rules and regulation.

A Prophetic Word about the Vally of Dry Bones (TUCSON) April 16, 2010

Here is a word once again using Ezekiel’s vision of the valley of dry bones. Tucson is surrounded by mountains on all sides hence it is in a valley. It is no coincidence , therefore, that the Lord placed the church in the valley. Eze 37:1 The hand of the LORD was upon me, and carried me out in the spirit of the LORD, and set me down in the midst of the valley which was full of bones, (The Church has been set down in the midst of the valley of death, discouragement, despair, loss, grief) by the Lord. Eze 37:2 And He caused me to pass round about among them, and behold, there were very many [human bones] in the open valley or plain (without a covering you will dry out ), and behold, they were very dry(beyond hope). (dry bones represent disjointed lives, people not connected. Here it is the Lord that made Ezekiel to “pass round about among them” , he caused him to take note of the dry bones. These “dry bones” pass by us every day but until the Lord causes us to take note of them we won’t be able to do so. The reason people come to the west is many times it is to escape. These “dry bones” are fleeing broken homes, divorce, abuse, hurt, molestation, some flee because of rebellion and some are fleeing the law, and some are fleeing their past. These “dry bones” do not want to be part of a community, because it was in community that they were hurt. These are the lone rangers , which by the way , is the attraction of the west,the attitude being that they will pull themselves up by their bootstraps and get their life together by themselves, they don’t need anybody. It is interesting to note, however, that Satan roams about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour. The Lion attacks the one who has strayed from the herd(family/community) because he knows that there is strength in numbers and the one that is alone is weak and easy prey. It also is worthy of note that in Genesis, from the very beginning, that the Lord said that, “it is not good that the man is alone” . So how do we reach these people who don’t necessarily want to be reached? Here is the answer: Eze 37:3 And He said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord God, You know! [I Cor. 15:35.] Eze 37:4 Again He said to me, Prophesy to these bones and say to them, O you dry bones, hear the word of the Lord. [John 5:28.] We must begin to declare the word of the Lord prophetically over the “dry bones” in Tucson. In the book of Amos it says the following, “Amo 3:8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear? the Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy? ” The word of the Lord has been spoken so who can but prophesy . Eze 37:7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; (key phrase)and as I prophesied, there was a [thundering] noise and behold, a shaking and trembling and a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. Act 16:25 But about midnight, as Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns of praise to God, and the [other] prisoners were listening to them, Act 16:26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the very foundations of the prison were shaken; and at once all the doors were opened and everyone’s shackles were unfastened. This is mass deliverance. It is the Lord himself coming to set the captive free and that which is hindering the “bones” from coming together will be taken out-of-the-way. Eze 37:8 As I looked, I saw that ligaments(relationships, home groups) were on them, muscles(leadership) were on them, and skin covered them.(the church) Yet, there was no breath in them. Eze 37:9 Then said He to me, Prophesy to the breath and spirit, son of man, and say to the breath and spirit, Thus says the Lord God: Come from the four winds, O breath and spirit, and breathe upon these slain that they may live. Act 2:2 When suddenly there came a sound from heaven like the rushing of a violent tempest blast, and it filled the whole house in which they were sitting. Eze 37:10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and the breath and spirit came into [the bones], and they lived and stood up upon their feet, an exceedingly great host.

A Dream I had about the United States March 23, 2010

 I had a dream approximately a year ago, June 7, 2009  to be exact. In the dream I saw the United States as a puzzle board, like the kind some of us had when we were kids where we would start with an empty board that had the outline of the United states. Our parents would help us put all the states on the puzzle board until we had the continental 48 states.
In this dream, I saw the United States in the form of a puzzle as mentioned above, I then saw states begin to disappear off of the puzzle board leaving a gap or space where the state had originally been which leads me to believe that civil war may be coming to this country once again.
Last year at the 4th of July celebrations, I had a distinct sense that this would be the last 4th that we would be celebrating as a United Nation.
Additionally, I have seen an angel with a drawn sword standing over the United States. My belief here is that this is a sword meant to bring division of the kind Jesus spoke of in Matthew 10:34-36 where He said , “   “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.  “For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW;  and A MAN’S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD”
We need to be praying for God’s mercy and grace in this hour like never before. We need to pray for our leaders that God would guide and direct them.

Famine/The Mark January 2, 2012

I had a very frightening dream Monday, April 25, 2011 and the Lord basically told my wife the same thing this morning.In my dream, I was in a very large grocery store and there was an overabundance of food everywhere the eye could see. And then I felt the Lord say that there is a very severe famine coming that will test the faith of all believers.If you remember the 70′s when Gas was rationed and you had to go get gas on the day assigned to you according to your license plate number so will it be in this famine. Money will not be in short supply, food will. Many believers’ stomachs rather than their faith will dictate their actions in this time. This I believe is how the mark will take hold. Money is not the issue here. If you remember in revelation no one could buy or sell without the mark When the shelves are empty, we must realize that God, and not our money or jobs is our ultimate provider. I believe that right now is a time of abundance but as in Pharaoh’s dream that Joseph Interpreted for him, there were years of abundance followed by years of famine in which the abundance was quickly forgotten.This is why the simple church is so important. Acts 2 will begin to play out here.
All the believers kept meeting together, and they shared everything with each other. From time to time, they sold their property and other possessions and distributed the money to anyone who needed it. The believers had a single purpose and went to the temple every day. They were joyful and humble as they ate at each other’s homes and shared their food.
(Act 2:44-46 GW)

A Dream about America and the End of Freedom April 20, 2010

I had a dream, April 19,2010. In this dream I was outside with family and friends having fun when I saw military planes flying overhead having wires attached to them that reached the ground and they were carrying a building. When the first building went up I commented to my friends that it looked like something out of star wars, this however, would be the first of many buildings that would be erected by the military. These buildings were being erected right were we were standing. All the buildings seemed to be descending from the sky. In the next part of the dream we, including Debbie and me were inside the buildings that had been placed there by the military, We were in a room with other people and we were being held captive. We could not leave and any attempt to do so we would be facing guards with tasers. In one part of the dream I did try to escape through a doorway and as I jumped over the railing I felt a surge of electricity go through my legs and was told if I didn’t stop It would get worse. In the room that we were in there was a mother and daughter sitting next to us and the little girl had asthma. Her mother was out of her medication and was unable to get more for her. Debbie had a prescription that was not exactly the same as the little girl was taking but offered it to the mother. The next part of my dream I was in my kitchen of  the house in which I currently live only there were people there who did not belong there eating food that I had bought. I had no control over them being there. When we could go outside, it was much different from before. I saw statues of people  who looked like they had been shot. There was definitely the sense that we were no longer free. No one could leave. I then heard a voice saying, “America’s best days are behind her, she will be a weakened nation”.

The Story of Lazarus and the Rich Man June 2, 2010

“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 I believe. 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

Walking in the Light January 2, 2012

Laodicea means peoples opinions. This is a generation that lives and dies by the opinions of what others think of them. We put pastors and other leaders on pedestals and then are devastated when they fall. What we all fail to realize is that an opinion is based on what we see and hear, in other words, the outward appearance. As the Lord told Samuel when anointing a new king, “man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. We have as a people who call themselves Christians neglected the very thing which the Lord weighs most which is the heart.
The way of wicked people is like deep darkness. They do not know what makes them stumble.
My son, pay attention to my words. Open your ears to what I say. Do not lose sight of these things. Keep them deep within your heart because they are life to those who find them and they heal the whole body. Guard your heart more than anything else, because the source of your life flows from it. Remove dishonesty from your mouth. Put deceptive speech far away from your lips. Let your eyes look straight ahead and your sight be focused in front of you. Carefully walk a straight path, and all your ways will be secure. Do not lean to the right or to the left. Walk away from evil.
(Pro 4:19-27 GW)
Proverbs, 4:23 says to guard your heart more than anything else, because the source of your life flows from it. In Psalms David says,”Teach me, O LORD, how to live by your laws, and I will obey them to the end. Help me understand so that I can follow your teachings. I will guard them with all my heart”.
(Psa 119:33-34 GW)
We wonder sometimes why prayer goes unanswered, take a look at what Psalms says about this issue, “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me(Psa 66:18 AMP)
No one being tempted should say, “I am being tempted by God.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, and God himself tempts no one. Rather, each person is being tempted whenever he is being dragged off and enticed by the bait of his own desire. Then, having conceived, the desire gives birth to sin; and when sin is fully grown, it gives birth to death. Don’t delude yourselves, my dear brothers.
(Jas 1:13-16 CJB)
We must never loose sight of the fact that the nursery for serving God and also doing evil is the human heart. It should not take us by surprise when a Christian falls into sin. Although he/she may have a very pious appearance, what is incubating in their heart will manifest itself. Sin begins in the heart .
that which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. If we say that we have fellowship with Him and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
(1Jn 1:5-8 MKJV)
For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who practices truth comes to the Light so that his works may be revealed, that they exist, having been worked in God.
(Joh 3:20-21 MKJV)
To walk in the light is to continually have your heart laid bare before Christ. To walk in the light means that we have fellowship with Jesus for God is light. And this is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all.
(1Jn 1:5 MKJV)
To walk in the light means that we have fellowship with one another. To walk in the light means that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. Sin must be brought to the light in order for it to be covered by the blood.
When Adam and Eve walked with God in the Garden, they had fellowship with one another and with God. When they sinned, however, they lost the ability to see because they were in darkness and they hid themselves from one another and from God. When questioned by God as to what he had done, Adam blamed Eve and Eve blamed the serpent. Neither one was able to see his/her sin. Which is all the more reason that since we have had the light restored to us, we must continuously walk in it.They both had something to hide from God, they were afraid of God because they were afraid of being found out, hence the reason they hid. We on the other hand have been forgiven, our relationship has been restored and therefore we must always walk in the light of his presence so that we may continually have fellowship with him and with one another and the blood of Jesus will cleanse us from all sin
Something else that the Lord pointed out is when Adam and Eve walked with the Lord, they were walking in the light of God’s presence and they were naked before him and each other. When they sinned, however, the hid from the Lord and from each other. It is worthy of note to point out that when they were confronted by the Lord, the accusations began. Because when a person harbors sin in their heart they hide from the Lord and from others but they are quick to sit in judgement of others and to accuse others so as to deflect attention from themselves.
When we walk in the light of God’s presence we have fellowship with God and one another because we are not trying to cover ourselves up in order to hide our nakedness that sin causes.
When we walk in the light, nothing is able to cause us to stumble.
This kind of closeness can only happen if we choose to walk in the light of His presence and to have our hearts willingly subject to the light.
“Hardly anything else reveals so well the fear and uncertainty among men as the length to which they will go to hide their true selves from each other and even from their own eyes.”

Row Boat Vision January 2, 2012

In this vision I saw a very stormy sea, at night,with no moon nor stars, and in the sea, there were people drowning. Also in the sea, were many rowboats with a captain in each and the captain, along with those in the boat were rescuing those who were in the sea. The boats would only hold so many and that is why many boats were needed. I saw that the boats all rowing to a light house. Also in the vision, I saw a very large ocean liner. It had a crew of thousands and it took every member of the crew to run the ship, no one could be spared to aid in the rescuing those who were drowning in the sea. Furthermore, the ocean liner was huge and very high so that it would be impossible for its crew to reach a hand into the water to rescue those who were drowning. As you might have guessed, the row boats are symbolic of home groups/simple churches. A rowboat can only hold so many before it begins to sink. The ocean liner is the mega church(machine) it has so much machinery needed to keep the vessel running that it can’t spare anybody. And when I saw the ocean liner steer toward somebody that was drowning in an effort to save them it ended up killing them. I believe that the Lord is returning the His church back to ts roots and to the simplicity of the gospel message from which it was birthed, I believe that the,”machinery” is being dismantled and the complexity of the machinery is giving way to the simplicity that is the Gospel pattern for church.

The Prison of Religion

On January 11, 2010 I had a vision. In the vision I saw a prison and all the prison doors had been opened and the prisoners chains had been loosed and each of the prisoners were standing at the entrances of their individual cells. However, they were frightened to venture out for fear of being thrown back into the cell again and having the door shut. This is because they had been deceived by the spirit of religion into believing that the one who came to set the captive free, Jesus, was in fact, their jailer. What a horrible view of a loving savior and yet it is a view many hold onto.

The End of Church As We Know It May 4, 2010

Let me share a dream I had. In the dream, I saw a wooden coffin and inside the coffin, I saw a church with 2 very large pillars outside. also saw the lid of the coffin resting on the knuckles of 2 hands like one would do just before nailing it shut, and there were also hands  resting on the coffin lid. So, as you can imagine, there was very little light left in the coffin because of the lid of the coffin being almost on the coffin. Getting back to the church I saw inside the coffin, I saw thousands of people coming out of the church and jumping out of the coffin as fast as they could. However, there were 2 groups of people who refused to leave, in fact; they had their fists held in the air. These 2 groups were standing by the 2 very large pillars I had seen earlier in my dream. These pillars had names. The name of the first pillar was religion and the name of the second pillar was politics.
The interpretation of the dream was given by Pastor Guy Walton of True Life Ministries and is as follows:

A coffin is what you bury the dead in. The coffin in your dream is
religious tradition holding the church (the people in the church) in
captivity from following Jesus. The two large pillars outside are the
gods of the church. The hands belonging to the knuckles in which the
lid of the coffin rested on were the hands of the Lord holding the lid
from closing all the way till those who were going to leave this
traditional church made it out.
The hands which were resting on the coffin like they were about to
shut it was the hands of the spirit of anti christ who was shutting
out the light through lies and deception. This will be a time as the
parrabel in Matt 25 of the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten
virgins.
The foolish virgins will be those remaining in the coffin and refusing
to repent from their gods of religious politics and accept the life of
Christ. Those coming out of the coffin are those who recognize the end
is here and they came out from among them as God said to do in 2 Cor.
6:14-18. The door is about to shut and be sealed.

The Mall-ification of the American Church(Babylon)

All the nations fell because of the wine of her sexual sins. The kings of the earth had sex with her. Her luxurious wealth has made the merchants of the earth rich.” I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of Babylon, my people, so that you do not participate in her sins and suffer from any of her plagues. Her sins are piled as high as heaven, and God has remembered her crimes. Do to her what she has done. Give her twice as much as she gave. Serve her a drink in her own cup twice as large as the drink she served others. She gave herself glory and luxury. Now give her just as much torture and misery. She says to herself, ‘I’m a queen on a throne, not a widow. I’ll never be miserable.’ For this reason her plagues of death, misery, and starvation will come in a single day. She will be burned up in a fire, because the Lord God, who judges her, is powerful. “The kings of the earth who had sex with her and lived in luxury with her will cry and mourn over her when they see the smoke rise from her raging fire. Frightened by her torture, they will stand far away and say, ‘How horrible, how horrible it is for that important city, the powerful city Babylon! In one moment judgment has come to it!’ “The merchants of the earth cry and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargo anymore.
(Rev 18:3-11 GW)
Aren’t people bought and sold and traded as commodities in the American Church, They are used for their gifts and talents and then, when they have nothing left to give, they’re discarded like one would throw away a chicken bone after the meat had been stripped off the bone.(Bones, however have value to God, as Adam’s bride came from a single bone And, let’s not forget Ezekiel’s valley of dry bones that he was told to prophesy over) Doesn’t a church’s attendance depend on the popularity of the pastor and the quality of the worship band. How many people attend because they are sold out to Jesus and they long for His presence. Of all the services that people will attend, the prayer service is the least attended.
I saw a vision a little while ago. In the vision I saw many pulpits and preachers in the pulpits. Some were in robes and some in suits. These were well respected, very learned men. They were all preaching to a very large congregation and the eyes of everyone in the congregation were riveted on the pastors and their ears were attuned to every word that was being spoken by them. In back of these pastors I saw Jesus on the cross. Not once did any of these pastors mention Jesus or the cross and not once did the people look past the pastors to see Jesus on the cross.
Another vision I saw was that of a man and a woman at a table in a restaurant. The man had taken the woman to eat but the purpose if the meal was for him to have sex with her, thus gratifying only himself. As they were talking and eating, I saw his head turn and lust after every other woman who would walk by and wonder what it would be like to have sex with them. Then I felt that the Lord say that this is His people. They don’t seek after Him but after Holy Spirit orgasms. They go from church to church and person to person until their flesh is satisfied.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires, and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
(2Ti 4:3-4 NASB)
The Greek word for tickled is: knḗthō; fut. knḗsō, a later form of knáō (n.f.), to cut, scrape, scratch, tickle. In the NT, only in the pass. meaning to be tickled, to feel an itching. Metaphorically in 2Ti_4:3 meaning being tickled, itching referring to the ears, having an itch to hear something pleasing.
This is what I feel the :Lord saying to me.

“That Which Can Be Shaken Will Be Shaken” April 15, 2010

Heb 12:26  And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN.”
Heb 12:27  This expression, “Yet once more,” denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
Heb 12:28  Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe;
Heb 12:29  for our God is a consuming fire. .
I saw a vision 04/15/2010 of people carrying packages, so many packages that they could barely see where they were going.  These represented who they were and all that they possessed on this earth. Then I saw the earth begin to quake violently and the ground  begin to open up. The people who were carrying these packages began dropping them so that they could maintain their balance and ultimately, they dropped all of them because the ground was opening up all around them and now they were  more concerned about preserving their lives and not the things that they had to accumulated. Like the word says, ” all that can be shaken will be shaken  so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.”

A Vision of Preachers and the Cross of Christ

I had a very tragic vision July 25, 2010. In the vision I could see many preachers, their pulpits
were lined up next to each other,they were very learned men, some were in suits and some were in robes,and they were preaching to a very large …congregation . The eyes of everyone in the congregation and their attention were on these preachers. In back of these preachers I could see Jesus on the cross. Not one of the preachers ever mentioned the cross in his preaching and no one in the congregation ever looked at the cross, their eyes were on the preachers and they were attentive to the “wisdom” that was being taught by them.

"The Church has surrendered her once lofty concept of God and has substituted for it one so low, so ignoble, as to be utterly unworthy of thinking, worshiping men. This she has not done deliberately, but little by little and without her knowledge; and her very unawareness only makes her situation all the more tragic.”

The Lord has heard Hagar’s Crys for her Children and Seen her Tears

I had a dream 12/23/2010. In the dream I saw a desert and in the desert I saw a woman who had covered herself with a blanket to protecting herself from the sun’s heat. I also saw a bush and I could make out a person in the bush but I could not see who it was. I heard a voice in the dream describing for me as in a narrative what I was seeing. The next thing I saw was an angel of the Lord appear and then I saw the woman, who turned out to be Hagar, uncover her head because she perceived that she wasn’t alone. The angel spoke kindly to her and then pointed with his hand to a place in the desert and I then saw a gusher of water come out of the desert sand. Remember, Hagar thought that she and her child were going to die. The next part of the dream I was thinking about the Tucson Refugee Ministry and that they are ministering to a great many of Hagar’s children who have come to Tucson, a desert, seeking refuge.
Remember Hagar and her son were cast away because Ishmael was not to be a co-inheritor of the promise with Isaac.However, Peter says in
Acts, “For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all
those afar off, as many as the Lord our God shall call”.
(Act 2:39 MKJV)
Also, the water in my dream is symbolic of the Holy Spirit, and I believe that a revival is coming to the children of Hagar who dwell in desert places.

Coming Wave of the Holy Spirit to the US

I had a vision on the morning of 9/3/2010 , I kept hearing the word, “wave”, and wondered as to its meaning. I was then shown a wave the size of a tsunami and I was on a surf board riding the wave. The Tsunami was heading for the United States, and, as you know, A Tsunami is caused by an earthquake in the sea which indicates to me a shaking, a great shaking. This tsunami is a move of the Holy Spirit of gigantic proportions that is coming to the United States. It is my belief that it will impact the west coast first as this is where surfing is
popular. In order to be a part of this you have to ride the wave.
Those who are foolish enough to oppose the wave and stand in front of it will be destroyed. Those who are cowardly and run to higher ground to get away from the wave will miss the move altogether. The wave will be stirring up things that have been buried for a long time and bringing them to the surface, i.e., like when the demon possessed man shouted at Jesus in the synagogue, “I know who you are, you are the Son of God” . This man had been there for a while and the demon was comfortable and thus quit. All that is about to change in a very big way,
