Sin and Corruption--God and Revival
Hi Friends,
I am writing today about a very serious topic. It concerns the circumstances that the people of our nation may face in the near future. This is a two part vision, so I will share the second part of this message in the next post.
The Visions
First I see a large group of people who are dancing or perhaps doing something similar to Tai Chi. They are in a square formation with rows and columns, and equally spaced, about 6’ apart. A young woman in the foreground, has sandy colored hair, with the top section pulled back off her face. She is wearing a long, slightly full skirt. She reaches up and out, extending her left arm with the palm up. She holds her right arm tightly to her body. Her hand is clenched over her chest. On her face is an expression of anguish. She appears to be pleading for help, but there is no one to help her. Her body begins to collapse, as if she can bear it no longer. She is dying without hope.
The scene ends. And next, I see another woman. She has medium length dark hair with a crown of white flowers on her head. She wears a white dress which is shoulder-less, reminding me of a young Queen Elizabeth. I noticed that she did not look forward, but kept her eyes lowered.
Most often in my visions, a woman in white with dark hair usually represents the church. But because her dress bares her shoulders, she cannot represent the church.
In the next scene, I see a third young woman. Her skin is black and her hair has been sectioned and braided as a young child’s hair. She is standing in ordinary clothing with her back to me, so that I cannot look at her face. She stands holding onto an empty grocery cart, looking into the distance.
These three women in the vision describe people and events that may soon take place in our nation’s future. These visions may also represent people and things that may take place not just in our nation, but around the world.
The Dying Woman
Even though the first woman in the vision is with others, she feels all alone. The separation between each person may represent the social-distancing that has been mandated by some governors and leaders in their attempts to “slow the spread” of the Corona-virus. This separation not only represents the physical distance, but the isolation that comes with these terrible authoritarian lock-downs. The emotional and psychological toll on children, adolescents, the elderly, and the general population is highly detrimental, much more so than the disease ever has been. Depriving people of fellowship with others, is a sure fire guarantee of depression and anxiety. Even now, New York and California are implementing additional lock-downs with restrictions that invade private homes. California prohibits Thanksgiving or Christmas feasts indoors. The use of the bathroom by guests is only allowed if they are highly sanitized several times within the 2 hours allotted for these gatherings. There can be only 10 people allowed in these gatherings, and comprises no more than 3 separate households. In addition to these restrictions, people are compelled to wear masks, and to not sing, shout or chant.
These dictatorial restrictions should raise an alarm with your patriotic sense to protect our American freedoms, as guaranteed by the Constitution. These rights were so important that several states would not ratify the Constitution until they were expressly spelled out in the Bill of Rights. If you would like to understand why these rights are so important, then I suggest that you read the Declaration of Independence. This document written to King George of England lists the many grievances that the colonists had regarding laws that were imposed upon the American colonies.
If you are even more interested in how our Constitution came into being, you might want to read the Federalist Papers.
“The Federalist, commonly referred to as the Federalist Papers, is a series of 85 essays written by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison between October 1787 and May 1788. The essays were published anonymously, under the pen name "Publius," in various New York state newspapers of the time. “ (The Library of Congress)
We have the right to speak freely, the right to practice our faith, the right to assemble, the right to carry arms, the right to a trial by jury….
The government does not have the right to restrict these things, yet where are the Americans standing up for these freedoms? How many people have fought and died to protect these freedoms? Are we not concerned that a Socialist agenda is diametrically opposed to these freedoms?
We must choose freedom. We must win this battle through prayer. And do our civic duty to vote, which we have now done, and are waiting in prayerful expectation of a victorious win for our nation. In God we Trust.
We are in prayer expecting that: “He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart.” 1 Corinthians 4:5
“For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish.” Psalm 1:6
We should continue to remember in our prayers the elderly and the residents of nursing homes that have not yet allowed people to visit, or residents to eat together. Depression and loneliness cripple people emotionally and lead to suicide. Pray that the government leaders and administrators will not only protect the fragile and infirm, but will show compassion and mercy to those who cannot speak up or defend themselves. Everyone needs love and acceptance.
“The Lord God said, ‘It is not good for man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.’” Genesis 2:18
We can all use a “helper” or a friend!
Returning to the vision:
The woman was reaching out for help, but there was no one to help her. She was dying, perhaps from sickness, or perhaps from isolation.
We already have very good therapies to fight Covid. And the mortality rate is now extremely low, having dropped by 85%. For those 70 and older, who contract the disease, the mortality rate is 5.4%, (according to the CDC). And of those under 70, who contract the disease, less than 1 in a hundred die from it. And for those 19 and under who contract the disease only 3 in 10,000 are likely to die from it. In fact it is said that the incident of covid in Africa is nearly non-existent due to the very young population of the continent. (Why Africa has seen such low Covid-19 death rates)
I believe that the lock-downs are by far worse than the sickness. There have been tremendous increases in suicide, alcohol abuse, drug use, depression, anxiety, and child abuse. All people, children, adolescents and adults are harmed by lock-downs. Many small businesses have closed permanently—destroying the dreams, hopes and livelihoods of owners and their workers.
If we do not pray, and repent for our sins and the sins of our nation, we can expect that more authoritarian governors and mayors will continue their use of lock-downs to control the people. They want to create a national mandatory mask policy and a national lock-down policy that infringes upon the rights of American people to assemble, to work, to own a business, and to worship our Lord, as guaranteed by the Constitution.
Shame on us, if we allow wicked people and their plans to prevail.
The Wealthy Woman
The second woman in the vision represents the wealthy, those who have political clout, the liberal globalists whose agenda is to do anything and everything necessary to regain the white house and to hold power over the citizens of the United States.
The woman in the vision looks regal, beautiful, elegant, but her eyes she keeps lowered. She does not want to see those who suffer. She cannot look them in the eye, for she is the cause of their suffering. She does not want them to see into her soul, for it is dark.
She represents the “beautiful people”: the extremely wealthy and highly influential social elites, the Socialist/Marxist intellectuals of the universities, the egotistical media personalities, and the arrogant, above the law, politically correct, power-hungry bureaucrats. These are ordinary people who have become corrupted by the love of money, power and self.
We are all capable of sin. “If we say we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.” 1 John 1:10
“The love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.” 1 Timothy 6:10
“You cannot serve both God and money.” Matthew 6:24
But we are told to not let sin master us:
“Sin is crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it.” Genesis 4:7
What is our responsibility? How do we influence these powerful individuals, corporations, the social elite and the “big shots” of government?
The answer is always prayer, and we can also go the extra mile and give financial support, and practical support to the champions in our nation who are fighting for the American people. Let’s do our part to serve God and our fellowman! Let us pray and be available “to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” Ephesians 2:10
The Poor Woman
The third woman in the vision is suffering. She represents the poor, the lowly, and the homeless. Her spirit is broken. She feels hopeless. Her cart is empty. Does she have children at home who are hungry? How can she feed them, clothe them, or shelter them? She represents true misery and despair.
If we do not pray and repent, on behalf of ourselves, our families and our nations, our land will not be healed. This is what may become of us: a nation that suffers sickness, depression, poverty and moral decline because we chose to serve ourselves, instead of God.
We must fast and pray now, for our nation is at a crossroads. Will we return to the Lord and receive his forgiveness, his grace, his mercy and healing for our land? Or, will we continue to do things our own way, and incur the loss of God’s favor, his blessing and his provision?
The Lord has asked us to pray for our nation, its leaders, and for a spiritual revival. We know that there are many issues, problems and difficult circumstances, yet we are encouraged to “pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:17
I have two additional visions that I would like to share with you, for God is giving us a “heads up,” regarding our prayers these past few days:
Vision 1
I saw a man or creature that had the upper body of a man, and the lower body of a deer. Unlike a Centaur, who has the four legs of a horse with a human upper body, or the faun who has the legs of a goat and the upper body of a man, this creature’s lower body had just the two hind legs of a deer.
I saw the man/creature stagger forward and fall upon the ground. As he fell his head turned to face me. His arms were bent at the elbow with his hands near his head. As he landed on his stomach, his legs splayed apart at the groin.
I believe that this man/creature represents a man who has become demon possessed. The deer legs represent the presence of a stronghold or demonic spirit. The upper body is what remains of a person who is no longer in control of himself, but has been given over to sin. This terrible condition of the soul comes with unrepentant sin that is allowed to continue. When someone becomes insensitive to sin, he gives place to the devil, and becomes bound spiritually.
This is a very important passage in the book of Romans:
“For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.”
“Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator – who is forever praised. Amen.”
“Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.”
“Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.” Romans 1:21-32
I believe that the Lord is showing us that our prayers have been effective and have caused this man/creature to fall. The people of our nation who have opened the doors to greed, lust for power, immorality and sin in all its forms, will be brought down. But remember that it is not that God hates these people--No-- in fact he loves them, and wants them to come to repentance. He wants all people to be saved, that not one should go to hell.
Knowing this, we have been praying for God’s mercy to bring them to repentance, so that they will be delivered and set free of their bondages to sin. “For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul?” Mark 8:36
The Lord wants none to be lost: “The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but patient towards you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9.
I wrote in a blog post, “Judgment, Mercy, Judgment, Mercy…” about how God brings judgment on nations and individuals, so that some will turn to him and repent. In this way, God is able to then show them mercy and his salvation. This is his plan for mankind, that we would all walk with the Lord, that we would love and appreciate him and his ways.
We need to pray that those who have broken the law, who have lied, slandered, covered up, or conspired to undermine our nation, need to be brought to justice for these acts of treason. If we do not punish wrongdoers, then we will no longer be a democratic republic. We will become a lawless land with no morality and utter chaos. It is when justice is served faithfully and impartially that people can trust the government. Transparency is absolutely imperative to maintain our national identity, our freedoms, and unite us as a people.
So by this vision, we see that God is bringing judgment. Unless people are confronted with their moral failures and their sin, and are held accountable for their crimes against the nation and against the Lord, they might never reflect on their lives, experience godly sorrow, and repent. People that are forever getting away with their crimes, do not see the need to repent. There is no conviction of sin, and no fear of God.
However, when their actions bring punishment, then “godly sorrow,” may come to their hearts and they may turn to God in repentance. The ultimate goal is to see these people saved and set free of their besetting sins. And of course another goal is to see our nation living in peace and harmony with each other and with God.
The Last Vision
Just this morning, I received this vision: I saw a rocky mountainside that had been cut away to reveal a small channel or tunnel cut through the mountain. Suddenly a green ball in the tunnel begins to roll from my right towards the left. It stops suddenly, going no further, because the tunnel was blocked by rock.
The green ball was the only color in the scene. Green represents life, restoration, new beginnings, healing, hope, peace, and rest. These things are the very things that God wants to bring into our lives and into our nation. When we pray and seek God’s heart, asking him to forgive our sins and heal our land. He promises to do just that. I have quoted this scripture often: “If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
We have been asking the Lord for healing and restoration for our nation. We need a revival and a new beginning. He is our hope and the one who gives us peace and rest. Everything we need can be found in him. And it is his desire for us to have that.
The mountain that was cut away to reveal the channel, or tunnel was solid rock, in varying shades of grey. The color grey merely refers to old age in the Bible. Silver has wonderful meanings but they do not apply to this vision. The rocks are literally as old as the world itself. I believe that the rocks in their natural color of grey, provide a visual contrast to the green. But also there is a contrast in the meaning of green and grey. If green means life and new beginnings, the grey means old and unchanging. The rock is immovable, solid, lifeless.
I believe that the Lord was giving this vision to me this morning, because the enemy (the devil) has tried to block what the Lord wants to do. The tunnel is blocked by rock, the Lord is asking us to pray, to believe and to partner with him, to see that the Lord’s plans to bring life, a new beginning, and fresh start to the people of our nation. God wants to restore, and to revive the nation and and church. But if the devil has tried to thwart the Lord’s plans, then we must pray and expect that the Lord will send dynamite, as the power of the Holy Spirit to blow the tunnel open wide, allowing hope, peace, rest and refreshing to come to our spirits. We will have a revival and the Lord’s will will prevail. And the work of the devil will come to nothing.
What a wonderful thing it is that the Lord shares his plans with us. How wonderful that we can partner with him in all that he does. Jesus said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, the Son also does.” John 5:19
Jesus also said, “Very truly, I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.” John 14:12
The Lord wants us to do as he does. We are his disciples, so we show our love and devotion to him by being obedient and allowing him to use us as he will. “Do you not know that your bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies.” 1 Corinthians 6:20
Yes, Lord, we are not our own, we were bought by your precious blood, so have your way in our lives. We are pleased to do your will. Yes Lord, send us!
As the visions are seen together, we see that there is sin and corruption all around us. And the effects of sin is despair, loss of hope, fear, sickness, disease, poverty, moral decline, and chaos. Yet, God is also revealing his plans to thwart the plans of the enemy, and bring a revival to our nation, restoring hope, peace, new life, new beginnings and a new experience of the glory of God. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord!
We place our hope and trust in him, for he will bring things about as we do our part and pray for ourselves and for our nation. God bless America!
I hope you can appreciate what I have shared with you today. If God speaks to us, it is important that we appreciate his words and do what he is asking us to do. We want to be found faithful, so that someday we will hear him say, “Well done, good and faithful servant! You have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things. Come and share your master’s happiness!” Matthew 25:23
God bless you! And please share this with people who will pray. Again, God bless you and your families!
