Hi Everyone,

I have so much to share today and so much for which to be thankful.  We should all be thankful that the Supreme Court ruled in three cases just recently that upheld the Constitutional rights of our citizens and interpreted the Constitution as it was written.  That is something to be joyously celebrated.  Let’s shout a big “Hallelujah” to the Lord Almighty, for He is good!

Today, I have four visions to share with you.

The Visions

The Tarp

In the first vision, I saw something like a tarp suspended in the air by some means, perhaps a rope.  A person kneeling on the ground was pulling the lower edge of the “tarp” to the ground to seemingly to create a tent, or lean-to.  The amazing thing about this vision is that the tarp was not a tarp at all, but a very thin layer of moss and lichen.  There were large holes, about 12-15” across and very fragile.  It would hardly make a suitable shelter.

When I saw this vision, I saw the futility of using such a “fabric” to weather a storm or provide shelter.  It was not structurally sound, the the large holes would let in anything. As the woman tugged on the hem to pull it close to the ground, I was surprised that it did not fall apart.  It was obviously worthless for any purpose.

I believe that this vision is about the need for shelter.  It is proposed by some that many people will become homeless because of the break up of the global network of nations and their interrelated economies.  When people lose their jobs in a downturned economy, they will  no longer be able to make payments on their mortgages or rents and people will lose their homes.  The vision shows that there will be difficulty finding suitable places to live.  

This is a very grave vision.  There are already housing issues in many states and communities where the cost of housing is more than the average person can afford.  Even now many single adults live with their parents because the jobs that they do have, will not support their independence.  As a recession deepens, more people lose their jobs.  

I hate to have to bring a message like this, but I believe that the Lord gives these visions so that we can understand and pray for our nation and the world. 

Judgment, Mercy

Years ago, the Lord gave me a vision of an inflatable toy “happy face.”  It was rolling down a hill as I heard the words:  “Judgment, mercy, judgment, mercy, judgment, mercy….”  The Lord was showing me his very heart, and why judgment comes.  Judgment comes in order for a person to come to repentance.  When people’s hearts change, then he is able to show mercy.  The Lord wants none to be lost.   He wants us to change our ways so that he can bring restoration and healing.  Our job is to be true to the Lord, to acknowledge his ways and to be obedient to his commands.  He has offered us a solution to our problems: 

“If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people, and if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”  2 Chronicles 7:13-14

Let’s pray for our nation for its healing.  The familiar passage above, tells us that we are the ones who need to repent.  It is not profitable to simply point the finger and blame the leaders in government and people of wealth and influence.  

“For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who disobey the gospel of God?  And, “If it is hard for the righteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”  1 Peter 4:17-18

But at the same time, we have so much for which to be thankful. As I mentioned before, we should all be thankful and elated that the Supreme Court handed down three decisions just recently that upheld the Constitutional rights of our citizens and interpreted the Constitution as it was written.  That is truly the hand of God at work on our behalf!  Let’s shout another “Hallelujah!  Praise to the Lord Almighty, for He is good!”

The first ruling that the Supreme Court made was in regards to the average law abiding citizen to be able to protect himself by carrying a concealed weapon.  The State of New York wanted to make a citizen first prove that he needed to protect himself, before he could carry a gun.  This is a big win for us as citizens not only to protect ourselves from attack, but to protect our nation’s people from a tyrannical overreach of government.  Recently, I saw on the evening news that the IRS has been collecting guns and ammunition over the past few years.  The IRS has a stockpile of ammunition worth 11 million dollars!  Why would the IRS need to amass such an arsenal?  Is it possible that the government expects an uprising?  Is it possible that the government wants to disarm the American people so that they can take what they want by force?  Just a thought. 

“For the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil.”  1 Timothy 6:10

But, Hallelujah! Our Supreme Court has stood with the American people and the Constitution to uphold the rights of its citizens to protect themselves!

The Raven

In the second vision, I saw a forest floor covered in dead leaves.  The scene panned from left to 

right showing more and more trees and more and more dead leaves.  Finally, the scene stopped.  In the foreground was a large black bird that stood upright on the forest floor, standing among the dead leaves.  He was in profile, looking straight ahead.

I believe that this vision concerns the Spirit of Death, the devil, represented by the raven.  The fallen dead leaves represent the innocent who have died because of abortion.  

Just a few days ago, the Supreme Court struck down the former ruling on Roe vs Wade that legalized abortion.  I believe that the issue will no longer be a federal issue but must be decided by the individual states.  There is much protesting and even violence from those who believe that they have the right to kill a life in the womb.

 “The National Right to Life Committee (NRLC), the nation's oldest pro-life organization, estimates that 63,459,781 abortions have taken place since 1973. That estimate was gathered by tracking data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Guttmacher Institute, which previously served as a research arm of the nation's preeminent abortion provider, Planned Parenthood.”  (https://www.foxnews.com › politics › abortions-since-roe-v-wade)

The dead leaves on the forest floor are too numerous to count.  Sixty three million children  were denied the right to live. It is hard to believe that people can be so selfish and callus that they not only condone the act of murder, but that they give it no thought, and willing undergo an abortion.  

But thank the Lord that the Supreme Court just struck down the former ruling on Roe vs Wade. 

The raven in the vision represents the devil, who comes to steal, to kill and to destroy.  He is all about death and destruction.  Abortion is one of his major activities.  He is able to take many people to hell at one time.  The doctors, the nurses, the staff, the female clientele and their lovers who put them up to it, as well as the owners of these clinics, their administrators, and all those in government and business who promote this practice will all come under God’s judgment.  

The Forest of Deception

Years ago, I read a book called The Secret Place.  In the book it spoke of a forest, calling it “the forest of deception.”  Near that time, the Lord gave me a vision that showed me a very dark forest that was surrounded by a tall iron fence.  In the foreground was a woman standing in front of a closed iron gate which opened to the forest.  She was a beautiful woman, having long brown hair and wearing a full length white gown.  She had a look of innocence on her face as she held her hand out.  Across from her was a wolf standing on his hind legs like a man.  He held a key in his hand and was enticing her to take it.  

I knew that the woman in the vision represented the Bride of Christ, the church.  The wolf represented the devil.  The key was the temptation that was needed for the woman to open the gate and become lost in the forest of deception.  In a nutshell, this is how the devil works.  Everyone has a weakness that the devil will try to exploit.  He is the great deceiver whose plans are to ruin the creation that God has made, to torment people while they live on this earth, and take them to hell when they die.  Jesus said of the devil:

“He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not hold to the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.”  John 8:44 

The people who are in the abortion industry and all those who have participated in this practice, are deceived.  They have taken the key that the devil offered them:  money to those who own the clinics, money to those who perform and facilitate the abortions, and freedom from the personal “costs of raising a child,” for those who do not want to be inconvenienced by caring for a child.  As I wrote years ago, “They sacrifice their children to the ‘gods’ of convenience and self-love.”

As believers, we are to pray for those who are deceived.  We must also pray for the fifty states that will take their positions on this topic.  Our hope is in the Lord.  We hope that what the Lord has begun he will bring to completion.  We must pray that our nation will stand for life and to forbid abortion in any stage.  Life is a gift from God.  We are his creation and he has given us his mandate:

“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. And God blessed them. And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”  Genesis 1:28

So let us pray that the blinders will be removed and that people will see the sin of abortion as it truly is–murder.  God wants people to repent, to turn away from sin and live for him.  He wants all to be saved.

“Forgive them Father for they know not what they do.”  Luke 23:34

The Vinegar

In the third vision, I saw a bottle of vinegar poured over a salad.  Then I saw a second bottle of vinegar being poured over the salad.  I thought to myself, something is wrong, shouldn’t the second bottle be filled with olive oil rather than more vinegar?

I love salads, and I make them everyday.  But I would never use double amounts of vinegar and no olive oil.  I thought, “What is the Lord showing me?”

Suddenly, I understood the meaning.  Vinegar and Oil go together as a hand-in-glove.  They are meant to be used together.  Vinegar and oil merge together to form a salad dressing, they function together - as a marriage.

I was reminded of what Jesus said about the Lord’s design at the very beginning of creation.

“Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’?  So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”  Matthew 19:4-6 

The vision was showing something contrary to the Lord’s design.  The two vinegars represent two of the same thing, as two male or two female.  The Lord’s design created man and woman  and brought them together to form a holy union.  Marriage is a covenant made between two people, a man and a woman and their God.  Marriage was never to be between two people that are the same sex.  Marriage was God’s design to be the perfect means by which man was to fulfill the mandate given by God to “be fruitful, multiply and fill the earth…”  Genesis 1:28   

Two men or two women cannot propagate–there is no offspring born to two of the same sex.  This the devil exploits with the fear of over-population.  For those who want to control the population growth through abortion, wars, and disease are the very same as those promoting same sex relationships.  They know that by promoting the advancement of the LGBT movement, fewer children will be born.

When I was in high school years ago, the talk of abortion, the war in Vietnam, the “population explosion,” and even euthanasia, (mercy killing) were the topics selected for debate in our “English” classes.  Isn’t it amazing that each of these topics is really about reducing the population.  This is what was talked about, in the sixties and seventies.  

After much reduction in the birth rate, the world will now begin to see its effects.  There will be starting this year, fewer people added to the workforce than those who are leaving the workforce.  The largest group of “Baby Boomers” retire this year.  This shift in the demographics is predicted to cause the collapse of many countries and their economies.  For the generations that are coming into the workforce will not be able to fill the jobs needed to support those that are retiring.   To know much more about this I would like to share a link: End of the World: How the Global Order is Collapsing by Peter Zeihan. 

 Most of us as Christians, understand the season in which we live.  We speak of this as the “beginning of sorrows.”  Just before the tribulation.  Many of the events and signs that point to “The End,” appear to be happening.  Because of the visions that I have received, I personally believe we are right at the door.  

Even so, the Lord has made it clear that only the Father knows when that day will come.

“But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.  But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.  For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.”  Matthew 24:36-39

What is so important about the vision, is the need to pray for these deceived people who believe that “God created them to be attracted to the same sex. That they were born this way.”  This is the lie that needs to be exposed.  We may know that it is a lie because of the word of God, but until they can see it as a lie, and embrace the truth, they will die in their sin.  We do not want anyone to go to hell for all eternity.  Some of these people may be our friends, relatives and even close family members.  The Lord loves them, but he hates the sin. This is an important passage of scripture:

“For since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities–his eternal power and divine nature–have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.  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 mortal man 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 of 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 relations for unnatural ones.  In the same way the men abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another.  Men committed indecent acts with other men and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

  Romans 1:18-32

These people are lost.  They do not understand nor appreciate the truth.  Let us pray for the Holy Spirit to bring the conviction of sin to their hearts, so that they will be moved to repentance.  We want everyone to be right with God and to experience his love and his salvation. We ask the Lord to save them!

There is a wicked agenda among the Left that wants to shut down everything that is good, holy, pure and of God.  They believe that everything and everyone can be manipulated with lies.  Money and power are their motives. They want to replace the knowledge of God with their own religion:  Climate Change and the Green New Deal.  As we seek God, they seek money and power.  They promote and someday may force everyone to bow down to their agenda, which they call “Science.”   They build their control and influence over people with the compliant media who supports the Left’s narrative.  It is through this propaganda that they hope to gain control over the lives of people.  Their plan is to indoctrinate everyone into the belief that climate change is a life threatening reality.  We can easily see that this is the worship of creation, the Earth, rather than the Creator, just as it was expressed in the passage quoted above: 

“They exchanged the truth of God for a lie and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator…”  Romans 1:25

Again, our responsibility is to pray for our nation and its leaders in every corner of life.  We need to pray for those in the government that they would be God-fearing people of integrity.  We pray that those who control social media platforms allow for differing opinions to be expressed rather than canceled.   We pray for those who create and spin the news, that they would instead report the news impartially, and that they would not hide from the public, news that might harm their political cause.  We pray that the largest corporations would be broken up according to the anti-trust laws that were established to protect smaller businesses from unfair advantage.

We want the laws and customs of our nation to reflect the wisdom, the ways and character of God.  Please pray and keep praying.  

“I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.”  1 Timothy 2:1-2

I have one more very important “Hallelujah!” to share with you:

“The Supreme Court on Monday ruled in favor of a Washington state football coach who sought to kneel and pray on the field after games — a decision he called “great news for the entire nation.”

The court ruled 6-3 along ideological lines that former high school football coach Joe Kennedy’s prayer was protected under the First Amendment.

“The Constitution and the best of our traditions counsel mutual respect and tolerance, not censorship and suppression, for religious and nonreligious views alike,” Justice Neil Gorsuch wrote in the majority opinion.

Kennedy, who was put on leave in 2016 after he continued to pray despite being told it was against the Bremerton School District’s policies, welcomed the news.

“I’m just so grateful that this long hard fight is finally over and we won,” he told Washington’s KING 5 news during an interview conducted alongside his attorney. “Thank God, [and] everybody that supported me throughout this. I mean it’s just great news for the entire nation.”

The district told Kennedy  his prayers could not be conducted alongside students, and that any of his personal religious observances needed to be done in such a way that they could not be seen as encouragement.”      NY Post - Evan Simko Bednarski - June 27, 2022

So let’s shout and praise the Lord! For He is good!  Thank you Jesus!

Please share this with others that will be encouraged by the great news and the Gospel which means “Good News!”  God’s message of love and his great salvation is the best news of all!

Be blessed!
