Lies, Judgment and a Seal

Hi Everyone,  

Finally, an answer to prayer! After four years of constant prayer we can say, Hallelujah!  God is faithful!  Perhaps many of you have been grieved over the constant onslaught of  lies and false accusations against our president. I have literally been praying everyday that “Whatever is hidden in darkness be brought to the light!”  

The Lord hates lies.  He has said in his word that all liars will be punished:  “But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars—they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur.  This is the second death.”  Revelation 21:8

Please understand, I am not seeking anyone’s harm.  I do not want to see anyone go to hell.  But this lying must stop.  There is an obvious lack of integrity within the governmental bodies and the various governmental agencies and departments. There is discord and dysfunction in both chambers of Congress. There are constant attacks on the Constitution and the Bill of Rights as they were written.

Lying is one of the greatest sins, because it does so much damage.  It is a powerful tool in the hands of wicked men.  Too many people are under wicked regimes like China, and North Korea.  These governments have total control over the news media.  They maintain order through fear, and lies, using the police and the military to strong arm the public. No one is told the truth, propaganda is all that the people know. No one is allowed to question the authorities or exposed the truth.  The news broadcasters only read the narratives given them by the authorities.  No other opinions are tolerated.  

Here in the United States, our freedoms are constantly under attack. Those who hunger for power are continually seeking to restrain or even remove our freedoms. The recent events have shown us how some government officials are excessively controlling, ignoring the rights of its citizens. These power hungry politicians, have had the mainstream media running interference for them.  They are never questioned about their motives or the lies that they put forth.  The media’s agenda is perfectly matched, with these politicians. Journalism is no longer about covering the news in an objective way. The goal is to slant the news and misrepresent the facts in order to promote their favored party and its ideology. These so-called journalists filter the news and refuse to report any events which might validate the current administration. 

There is nothing wrong with competition, for it encourages one to do one's best. But lying is wicked, and God will punish those who engage in it.

Today, I have four visions that I would like to share with you.  The first I received on April 11, as I was praying for our nation. I asked God once again that every lie and evil intent would be exposed.

Vision

I saw a man in a tightly rolled up body position doing many somersaults in mid air.  When he stopped, I noticed that he was wearing boxer shorts.  One entire side of the shorts were removed or cut away so that one side of his buttocks was completely exposed.

What I believe to be the interpretation:

THEY WILL BE ‘TURNED ON THEIR HEADS, AND THEIR LIES AND WICKEDNESS WILL BE EXPOSED.

Hallelujah! The truth will be made known and those that have fabricated lies to the detriment of our nation will be ashamed.

Now before we go any further, please remember that we are not to celebrate over the demise of another person—that is as wicked, equally sinful, as the deeds for which they will be held accountable. Our enemies are NOT people, but they are powers residing in the spiritual realm.  “For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”  Ephesians 6:12

We may think that our enemies are people who have diametrically opposed views and priorities to ours, but in reality our foes are unseen.  They operate supernaturally to influence people, and entice them to do wicked things.  We as Christians are called to love all people:  “But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.”  Matthew 5:44

“If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat, if he is thirsty, give him water to drink.”  Proverbs 25:21  

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness.  Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”  2 Peter 3:9

So our job is to pray and believe that the Lord will move mightily on our behalf.

So we pray:  

Dear Jesus, have mercy on our fellow countrymen, who have been led astray by their own quest for power and influence.  We know that there is no sin uncommon to man, and that we all can be guilty of the same offenses.  We ask that you forgive them and lead them into all truth.  We ask that you reveal yourself to them.  You  said, “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him, and I will raise him up at the last day.”  John 6:44

So Lord, help them to find you.  “I was found by those who did not seek me.”  Isaiah 65:1

We know that you love all people and that you will search for those who are lost.  We want no one to go to hell, for it is a place of eternal torment.  There is no one on the face of the earth that we would like to go there, so please, Lord, in your mercy, lead them to repentance.  “And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto me.”  John 12:32

We would ask you to forgive them just as you forgave those who nailed you to the cross. For you said, “Father, forgive them, for know not what they do.”  Luke 23:34  

We love you Jesus.  And we know that you love our  country, for our founders dedicated this nation to you.  We ask that you bring peace to our divided nation, health to those who are sick or suffering, and your blessings and provision to those who have lost their jobs. We pray for a revival to come to our nation, and that those who do not know you will give their hearts to you, making a commitment to serve you wholeheartedly.  

Bless our leaders, and fill our Congress and Senate with God-fearing men and women who will make laws that align with your will.  We pray that every lie and every evil deed will be exposed.  We pray that corruption, and wickedness will not be given room, as it has in the past.  And those that have used their positions to gain  power and amass wealth, at the expense of our nation, will see the error of their ways, acknowledge their sin, and experience godly sorrow. We pray for your mercy over them. 

We know that without repentance, there can be no forgiveness of sins. So we ask you Lord, please send your Holy Spirit to bring conviction to the hearts of men and women living in error.  We want them to have every opportunity to repent and receive forgiveness and reconciliation with the Father.  Thank you Jesus!  Thank you for your everlasting love and mercy.   Amen!

   

Visions of April 19, 2020

While praying on a Sunday afternoon, I received three visions all within a few minutes of each other.  First, I saw a portion of a woman’s face—just the left eye.  The eye was beautiful with long, full, dark lashes.  She did not look at me directly, but kept her eyes looking downward.  

Next I saw a large white plastic bucket with a handle.  The bucket was tilted towards me, so that I could see the interior and the bottom surface.  It was entirely empty, and clean.  If it were filled, it would have held about 3 gallons.

Then I saw an emblem, or metal stamp.  It was circular like a coin, with a lion’s head in a raised design.  There was a rectangular base tangent to the edge of the circular stamp.  The emblem or stamp was about the size of a nickel and the base was about ⅛” x ⅞”.    

What I believe the visions mean:

The Woman’s Eye

At first I thought that the eye of the woman represented the church, but after prayer the Lord showed me this passage in scripture that confirmed the other notion I had. This is the passage:

“With persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk. All at once he followed her like an ox going to the slaughter, like a deer stepping into a noose till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life.” Proverbs 7:21-23

The woman in the vision had a gorgeous eye with long full black lashes. She was looking down. The eye lashes were so dense that they were not natural. The eyes were made to look innocent, for there was no heavy eye makeup to make one think otherwise. Nonetheless, the eyelashes were false.

Her eyes looked down, not directly into my eyes. This is an indication that she was hiding something. When the Lord shows me angels speaking to me in visions, they look directly at me, eye to eye, for there is nothing false with them. This was a woman’s eye failing to look at me directly, she represents a demon.

She is a seductive spirit. She entices with her sensuality. She appeals to a man’s weakness, his ego, his masculinity and his innate drive for the forbidden. She entices a woman to become like her, leading the woman into sexual promiscuity and adultery. She is the spirit behind abortion.

This seducing spirit is also behind pornography, drug abuse, alcoholism and human trafficking.

This is our real enemy - it is God’s enemy as well. We need to protect ourselves and our loved ones by praying, and guarding our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus. We are to take every thought captive, for this spirit works in the mind. “We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” 2 Corinthians 10:5

We have to fortify and cleanse our minds with the word of God: “Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.” Ephesians 5:25-27

If we fall into sexual sin, or any other sin, it is important that we confess that sin so that we can become free. A sin that remains hidden, causes the person to become spiritually bound. The person finds pleasure in the sin but helpless to overcome it. The person feels guilty for the sin, but continues to repeat the sin. Sin that is unexposed creates an open door to the seducing spirit. This person becomes tormented by their thoughts and passions. They become trapped and cannot break away easily. Because the demonic spirit is ever present, they continue to succumb to the temptation over and over again.

“Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.” James 5:16

“Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.” Ephesians 5:11

When there is godly sorrow and the sin is confessed, a person can be set free. Sin needs to be exposed for the sinner’s benefit, to be spiritually free of bondage and to have a right standing with God.

If we know someone is struggling with a sin, we need to help him. “Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.” Galatians 6:1

God wants everyone to walk in the freedom that he provides. It begins with a repentant heart. To repent means to change your mind and to go the other way. When a person wants to be free of the besetting sin, we need to help him by doing the following:

  • Confess the sin.

  • Renounce the devil and his demons.

  • Renounce the deeds of darkness.

  • Come out of agreement with the lies of the devil.

  • Ask the Lord for forgiveness and reconciliation with the Father

  • Ask the Lord to take away any desire for the sin, as well as anything or anyone associated with the sin.

  • Break off any relationships that caused the sin.

  • Break off any soul-tie created by having a sexual relationship, in the name of Jesus.

  • Ask the Lord to fill (you/him) with his Holy Spirit and to write (your/his) name in the Book of Life.

  • Read the Word of God, pray and seek the Lord everyday, to get to know him and understand his ways.

  • Surround (yourself/himself) with good Christian people who will help and encourage (you/him) in (your/his) walk with the Lord.

  • And trust in him - “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6

The White Bucket

A bucket is a useful container.  If you were to go camping, you might use the bucket for carrying water, or firewood. In that same bucket, you might transport the fish that you caught, back to camp. If you needed to wash down a canoe or the car in your driveway, the bucket could be filled with soapy water and a sponge.

The bucket in the vision was white, and the color white represents purity. I believe the bucket represents a true believer in Christ as “a vessel of honor.“

“Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from what is dishonorable, he will be a vessel for honorable use, set apart as holy, useful to the master of the house, ready for every good work.” 2 Timothy 2:21

If we are born again, then we have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus, by his blood that was shed upon the cross. And as believers, we want to be used by him, in any capacity that he so chooses.  “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.”  John 14:12  

The white bucket was empty, and tilted towards me, not only to show the interior of the bucket, but also to demonstrated the act of pouring.  The act of “pouring out” can describe a deep and sincere emotional response, as pouring out one’s heart in love or devotion to the Lord.

When we intercede, we pour out our hearts to the Lord on behalf of others:  “My eyes fail from weeping, I am in torment within, my heart is poured out on the ground because my people are destroyed.”  Lamentations 2:11  

“Arise, cry out in the night, as the watches of the night begin; pour out your heart like water in the presence of the Lord.”  Lamentations 2:19

“For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure has come.”  2 Timothy 4:6

As the bucket is multi-functional and highly useful, we are to be useful to the Lord, “prepared for every good work.”   To be fit for his use, we need to be cleansed, purified, and made holy unto him.  Following the Holy Spirit’s leading, we are to pour out our lives before him as a drink offering, holding nothing back.  There is a truly beautiful song which expresses this very thing—being devoted to the Lord, and holding nothing back. “You can have it all Lord, every part of my world....”  It is a love song unto the Lord, a promise from us to him.  I hope you will listen and be blessed!  “Have it All”

The Lion Emblem

In this vision I saw a circle with a lion’s head in the center. It was like a coin, made of metal, with a raised design. I immediately thought it was a stamp used to seal a document or letter with wax.  A seal is an identifying mark. Many kings throughout the centuries used the lion to represent their position and authority as ruler of the kingdom. When a document had the king’s seal, it carried the full authority of the king himself.

This part of the vision represents so much.  The lion is a symbol of the Lord, for he is called “The Lion of the tribe of Judah.”  He is the King of kings and the Lord of lords. “Then one of the elders said to me, ‘Do not weep!  See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed.  He is able to open the scroll and its seven seals.”  Revelation 5:5

What seems very clear to me, is that the Lord is showing me once again the seals on the scroll, in the book of Revelation.  Perhaps you would like to read my recent post “The White Horse and the Antichrist. “ It speaks of the first seal that when broken, will introduce the Antichrist. I have no doubt that we are coming into a very important time that was prophesied in the book of Daniel and in the book of Revelation.

I believe that if God has shown me now, three times that  the Antichrist will soon be revealed, then it would behoove us to take notice.  We are living in unprecedented times.  Even this lock-down has been in preparation for the events ahead.  I have an important vision to share with you, but it will have to wait until another time, for it is about a future event in our nation. 

God wants us to be prepared:  “When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your head, because your redemption is drawing near.”  Luke 21:28

In Summary

We must be prepared.  Keep watch with the Lord.  Pray without ceasing.  Keep your armor on, and guard your heart and your mind. 

  • Vision 1 The Lord is bringing correction to those who are deceiving the American people:

  • THEY WILL BE TURNED ON THEIR HEADS, AND THEIR LIES AND WICKEDNESS WILL BE EXPOSED.

  • Remember not to gloat over our enemies, because this is offensive to the Lord, and counter to true Christian character.  Pray for these people that they do not respond with hardened hearts, but instead show genuine, godly sorrow and turn to the Lord in repentance.  

  • Vision 2 Be aware that anyone can fall prey to a seducing spirit. Expose and confess any and every sin. Do not fall into bondage by concealing sin.

  • Vision 3 As vessels of honor, we are to be poured-out as drink offerings unto the Lord, not caring for our own lives, but living everyday as it belongs to the Lord.

  • Vision 4 And we must be aware of the times, for the Antichrist may soon be revealed.

  • So—Keep the Faith!  Stay strong in the power of his might!  Be blessed and share the gospel!

I hope you will also share this message with like-minded people who are waiting for the Lord’s return!  Be blessed!
