Do Not Go Where I Have Not Sent You!

Hi Friends,

It is getting close to spring and there is a tiny bit of snow on the ground. After a mild winter, it appears that winter is trying to remember how to make snow. It is supposed to snow three more times this week. But we have been praying for a mild winter because of the threat of fuel shortages in Europe due to the globalists trying to shut off the supply. God is merciful. He knows what we have need of before we ask.

I have three visions to share with you today.

The Visions

The Stop Signs

On my way to Ohio last week to visit my family, I was praying in the car while my husband drove.  The Lord gave me a vision of an intersection of roads.  It was a view similar to the many intersections and on ramps of the interstate on which we were traveling.  In the vision, I saw perhaps 8-10 stop signs all at an intersection of roads.  

There is no doubt that the Lord was telling me to stop!  What was I doing?  I was going to see my daughter and her family, and my mother who was turning 92 that Sunday.  But what the Lord did not wanted me to do was to engage my brother or my mother in such a way as to turn them away from the Lord. This is exactly opposite of what I would want or intend to do.  I have always hoped that either or both of them would give their hearts to the Lord.  Perhaps this would be the weekend.  But I with this vision, I knew that now was not the time. The Lord’s ways are different than our ways:

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.”  Isaiah 55:8-9 

Jesus’ brothers, (Mary and Joseph’s sons) just like us, do not see time and circumstances like the Lord:

“So his brothers said to him, ‘Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing.  For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.’  For not even his brothers believed in him.  Jesus said to them, ‘My time has not yet come, but your time is always here.  The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil.  You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come.’  After saying this, he remained in Galilee.

But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private.”   John 7:3-10

When I saw the stop signs, I knew that the Lord wanted me to stop and check in with him.  The Lord had given me a vision years ago, about my sister’s business.  I wanted to let her know that what she was doing was practicing divination (witchcraft) in her “holistic health business.”  I prepared a letter, with supporting documentation and ready to send to her, when the Lord gave me another vision.  

A Black Wall

I saw myself driving on LaSalle Street towards Lincoln Park, in Chicago.  It was a gorgeous day and I had a sunroof on my car.  Suddenly a dark black wall went straight up into the air and far into the distance to my right and to my left.  I told myself while in the vision, “There is nothing that I need up there.  I’ll just turn around and go back.”  As I made a turn around at the median, I needed to penetrate the darkness just a bit.  When I entered the darkness, I saw two demons warming their hands at a fire, in a metal drum.

When the vision ended, I heard these words: “Do not go where I have not sent you.  Give her the same chance that I gave you!”  

I knew that I was not to send the letter.  Several years after that, both my brother and nephew worked for her acting as mediums, by testing themselves to find out what ailed a client several states away.  They are now terribly possessed. 

Now the Lord is giving me further instructions with the stop signs.  He does not want me to interfere with what he is trying to accomplish in their lives.  And of course, I do not want to set him back 5 to 10 years by getting in his way.  After praying more, the Lord gave me scriptures that confirmed his message to me.  The scriptures showed that my mother and brother are incapable of accepting anything right now, because they are spiritually blind.

“The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.   The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one.  ‘For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?’ But we have the mind of Christ.”  1 Corinthians 2:14-16

“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him.  And I will raise him up on the last day.”  John 6:44 

So it is important that we are obedient to the Lord.  We should not run ahead of him or fall behind.  We need to be in step and in agreement with what he wants to accomplish in the lives of those for whom we pray.  So I will not go where He has not sent me, and I will give them the same chance that the Lord gave me.  And, as I have been doing for many years now, I will continue to pray and believe in faith, that the Father will draw all my family and loved ones to His son, Jesus.

 The Shopping Cart

In this vision, I saw a shopping cart, which had a plastic basket and a typical chrome bar handle, metal frame and base with black wheels.  Inside the basket, there were many long stems coming from a plant below the cart, and penetrating the bottom of the cart’s basket.  The basket seemed to be filled with the plant’s stems, with one or more stems penetrating each small hole.    Each stem had pairs of leaves growing at short intervals up its length.  It reminded me of eucalyptus.  

What I believe it all represents:

The shopping cart is of course used to carry goods in the store to the cashier and then to the car.  Without the shopping cart, shopping for many items at once would be difficult.  It is a necessary convenience to be able to carry a child, and an awkward or heavy item for purchase.  Shopping with a cart is more relaxed than otherwise, so that more time can be given to selecting merchandise.

But this shopping cart must have been retired or abandoned, for it has not been used as a shopping cart for quite some time.  It takes a while for a plant to grow its long stems through a cart. 

I believe that this vision speaks of an end-time event or an event that leads up to the end.  I believe that it has to do with the availability of goods.  We have seen over the past year or so, numerous news stories of food processing facilities suddenly burning to the ground.  There have been “avian flu” like illnesses killing chickens and diseases killing cattle, pigs and infecting dairy cows.  There have been shortages in fertilizers and other farm products that threaten this next harvest season.  In Europe, the farmers went on strike because they were told to reduce their farm production by one third.  How can they feed their populations and still make a living by reducing their production by one third?  

The chicken feeds used to support egg laying have been tainted, or engineered to stop chickens from laying eggs.  This story was featured on Fox News with Tucker Carlson.  I have a friend whose chickens stopped producing eggs for more than nine months until she changed to a local feed.  Now they are producing eggs again.  

Many acres of American farmland have been sold to foreign countries like China, which will effectively endanger our own food supply.

Just recently an egg production facility just lost 100,000 chickens due to a fire.  These “mishaps,” and purposeful events of sabotage are alarming.  But to those who want to reduce the population, it is a necessary thing.  They consider reducing the population as being “in the best interests of the planet.” 

The abandoned shopping cart with the plant growing inside, I believe represents an impending  food crisis.  We will not need a cart, for the shelves will be sparsely supplied.

There is something else that I would like to share with you regarding the shopping cart.  In the Book of Revelation, when the anti-Christ is revealed, he will make it illegal to buy or sell anything without the mark of the beast.  It is a mark that will be on the hand or the forehead that represents the authority of the beast (the anti-Christ).  The following is a passage of scripture regarding this demonic mandate.

“Also it (the false prophet, or second beast) causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the right hand or the forehead, so that no one can buy or sell unless he has the mark, that is, the name of the beast or the number of its name.  This calls for wisdom: let the one who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 666.”  Revelation 13:15-17  

If one cannot buy or sell without the mark, and we of course do not want to take the mark, then we will have to barter for food, work for food, or grow our own.  We will not be able to use any currency (a universally accepted medium of exchange) to make a transaction.  If you need eggs, you will have to have something that a person who has eggs wants in exchange.  Will a pair of shoes buy a dozen eggs?  Who knows?

Just in case you don’t know why the mark of the beast is something you want to avoid, here are  a few scriptures that will sum it up.

“Then another angel, a third one, followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.”  Revelation 14:9-10

“So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth; and it became a loathsome and malignant sore on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.”  Revelation 16:2

So it is time to prepare.  First and foremost, we need to know the Lord, and to be his, to be sold out to Jesus.  He is the author and finisher of our faith, and faith is the currency of heaven.  He will take care of us.  The Israelites were fed manna from heaven.  The Lord provided the prophet Elijah, food that was brought to him by the ravens. Jesus multiplied bread and fish to feed thousands.  And the widow’s oil did not stop running until the last vessel was filled. God will make a way.  We prepare ourselves by spending time with the Lord, knowing that every good thing comes from him.

We have to have faith and trust in God alone.  There is nothing in this world that is guaranteed.  We do not know where we will be a year from now.  We do not know what life will be like in the near future.  Times and circumstances change quickly, even overnight.  We simply need to know that God loves us and we can trust him.  This is a time to know him and know his Word.    

A Book 

The last vision that I wanted to share with you, I received Saturday.  I entered a room that was filled floor to ceiling with metal crates that were turned on their sides and stacked floor to ceiling around the perimeter of the room.  The open face of each crate faced into the room so that they appeared to be like cubbies, for shoes, or personal items.  But all of the crates were entirely empty.  

A man in the room gave a woman, also in the room, a small thin book about 8” wide and 6” high.  She took it from him and held it in front of her body like a sign.  I read the cover; it said, “DAD.”

The man represents men or fathers.  The woman represents women or mothers, and the book the man gave her, perhaps represents the seed that he would give her, to make her a mother and himself a father.  The book also represents the child’s story.  Would this child be one that is aborted?  Neglected or abandoned?  By whom? By the father?  The title on the cover is “DAD.”  

The crates that looked like cubbies were empty.  There were no personal belongings.  These children never took their first breath.  There are 62 million babies that have been aborted.  That is a lot of empty cubbies, with no little shoes, and no teddy bears.  It is sad.  This grieves the Father in heaven.  This grieves his son Jesus, and it grieves the Holy Spirit.  It is a wicked thing to kill a child.

I have written about this same topic, in my last post, entitled “Lord, Protect Our Children and Heal Our Land.”  

There is an attack on the nuclear family.  Men do not want to marry and make a commitment to one woman. They want to be eternal bachelors.  Many do not want children.  Some men just go from one woman to another, and if the woman gets pregnant, the man is nowhere to be found.  We see that our culture no longer supports marriage between a man and a woman.  It seems that “anything goes.”  We are in moral decline.  Who suffers?  The children.  They grow up with no father in the home.  Some children become pawns used by one spouse to destroy or slander the other spouse.  The children become lost, without a foundation to stand on.  No wonder in our sin-driven, no holds barred culture, suicide is so prevalent among our youth.

But what do we do as believers?

We are to be people of faith.  We are to be volunteers of the Lord’s power in these last days.  We need to pray without ceasing and to be seeking the Lord for his forgiveness on behalf of our nation.  Too many of our nation’s leaders, and those of power and influence are spiritually lost.  They need the Lord’s salvation.  We need the Holy Spirit to come with his fire to cleanse, to heal and to restore.  We believers need to be strong in the Word of God, and strong in Spirit.  We must be willing to stand for righteousness in spite of adversity.  

Prayers for Our Nation

Let us bless our nation through our prayers of declaration:

We declare, acknowledging the sovereignty of God Almighty, that we, as the people of the republic of United States, are “one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.” (The Pledge of Allegiance)

We dedicate our nation to God the Father, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords and renew the purposes that the framers of the U.S. Constitution, set out in the preamble: to serve God and our fellow man.  Let the laws of our land reflect the Lord’s goodness and his unfailing promises in the Word of God. 

“We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”  (The Preamble to the Constitution)  

Lord, we look to you to empower us to do your will.  We pray that all churches will be open to receiving the power that comes with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.  Lord, I pray that people put aside traditions, doctrines and unbiblical practices that work to put out the Holy Spirit’s fire in people.  Lord, I also pray that everyone who calls himself a believer,  would truly know you personally.  

Lord, we pray for repentant hearts for all who sin, and especially for those who have undergone an abortion.  We pray for doctors, nurses, technicians and anyone who performs, facilitates, or funds  abortions.  We pray that their hearts would be filled with godly sorrow and remorse over this terrible sin.  

We pray for the leaders of our nation and the activists that promote abortion for a complete change of heart.  We pray that they would repent and have a desire to work to change our laws to align with God’s laws.  We pray that marriage would be declared by law to be a covenant between one man and one woman.  And that the laws of euthanasia would be overturned and declared unconstitutional.

Lord please show mercy to our nation; forgive our sin and heal our land.  We want wickedness restrained, and righteousness and justice to prevail.  We know that you are returning for a spotless bride.  Help the church to seek your face.  We need a revival in our country.  Lord help us to seek you, today and until you come for us.  Amen! 

You will seek me and will find me, when you seek me with all your heart.”  Jeremiah 29:13

Please share this post with others, we need everyone to know and appreciate the day in which we live. And please know that prayer is powerful and effective. Let’s pray without ceasing!  Come Lord Jesus!
