Remnant – A Swing and a Prayer

The Rain Vision – 9-18-19

foggy-1077725_960_720

I woke the morning of 9-18-19, and before I could open my eyes I was seeing a cluster of dark green leaves with green fruit. I asked myself was I seeing an olive tree? I saw what looked like either a fine heavy rain, sleet or snow on these leaves. I was trying to look closer when I saw a pane to my right where there were water droplets drizzling down so I knew it was rain. When those leaves with fruit were gone, I saw golden yellow leaves. I don’t know what kind the golden yellow leaves were, but there was no fruit. There was still the fine heavy rain. I asked the Lord to let me know what this means if it is important. I know any vision from God is important, and I know if it is from Him then He will give more information. It may not always be right away.

I went on with my day and the vision would come back from time to time. I couldn’t sleep the night of 9-19-19 so I got up and went out to the prayer swing. After an hour or so I found where Jeff Byerly was speaking on youtube and he gave verses the Lord gave him to read so we would know the time we are in. One of the chapters was Joel 2. As I began to read, it brought back the memory of this vision. I read the chapter but it was at the beginning of verse 19 that my spirit perked up. I believe the verses after that go with what I was seeing. God always sends words and pictures two or three times to go with anything He gives us.

Joel 2:19-32

Verse 19 Yea, the Lord will answer and say unto His people, Behold, I will send you corn, wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith; and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen;

Verse 20 But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.

Verse 21 Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things.

Verse 22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the wine do yield their strength.

Verse 23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for He hath given you the former rain moderately, and He will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.

Verse 24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.

Verse 25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.

Verse 26 And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wonderously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.

Verse 27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

Verse 28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:

Verse 29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

Verse 30 And I will shew wonders in the heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke.

Verse 31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of the Lord come.

Verse 32 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in the remnant whom the Lord shall call.

Treasures of the Snow – 7-26-19

The Treasures of the Snow 7-26-19

The first end-time dream, as I call it, was when I was in my twenties. It was actually more than one but they came together. After that I didn’t have one for about thirty years. I didn’t know much about God growing up other than what he put in my heart; he was with me.

At the time of this dream, I didn’t have much bible knowledge at all. I didn’t fully understand some of it, but as time passed I did. It is posted on this site as one of the first so you have to scroll way down to get to it. It tells of how, in the dream, I was in town with other people at night. I looked up at a huge tree and through its bare limbs I could see where a face had formed as I looked at the moon through the limbs. The face had a bald head. I started calling attention to it to first one person and then the other. No one seemed interested and no one could see what I was talking about at all. I knew it was the antichrist.

There were men that were very angry at what I was doing. I don’t know who these men were but they began coming after me. They chased me so hard I ran down a narrow dirt road and wound up crossing a fence and going into a pasture. One drove an old blue pickup truck and rammed through the fence and never slowed down. I finally made it to a small white church where I walked through the door to find people sitting on backless benches. They were mesmerized with their faces positioned straight ahead and their eyes wide open but not seeing. I was yelling so loud but they couldn’t see me or hear me.

I suddenly found myself with a group of women and children. None of us knew each other. No child knew any adult and no adult knew any child. We were in a metal-type building like you see the gyms at the churches now. There were troops outside that wore uniforms and spoke a different language. I don’t remember the uniforms or the language. We had two at our building. As the weather began to turn cold, I and other women began to gather sticks outside to place on the floor inside and start a fire to warm the children. The troops became so angry they slapped the sticks from our arms and yelled something in their language.

As the other women and I stood just outside the building, the Lord spoke to an older woman that was with us. I don’t know who the woman was, but I remember telling the other ladies that she said God told us to bring down the snow from the mountain. We didn’t question this at all. We brought down the snow from the mountain and we covered the floor of this metal building inside. As we finished covering the floor, we could feel that the snow had turned warm on the underside. As the troops continued to laugh at us for our crazy work we were doing, we placed the children and babies under this snow as a blanket of protection from the cold. The Lord had truly prepared a table for us before our enemies.

In the next scene, I was running from gunfire. I ran through the parking lot and was able to grab hold of a door knob on a vehicle and hang on with my feet suspended. The gunfire was all around, even coming under the vehicles. Suddenly, the sky lit up so bright in color that I looked up and saw Jesus coming down. I ran so fast and so hard toward Him yelling ‘Thank God, Thank God, Thank God!’. As His face turned toward mine, a feeling of love that I had never known came toward me from Him. It was an unconditional love so overwhelming that it took my breath away and woke me up in shivers and tears.

Over the years, I have found so many verses for so many scenes in this dream. Sometimes I will read a verse and know it goes with it. The most amazing connection was just a few months ago when I read a verse in Job that spoke of the treasures of the snow.

Job 38:22-23
Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? Or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail. Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?

I found a site called idahobaptist.com that speaks of these treasures where the author says the snow he was shoveling hit him in the face and prompted him to research the snow verses in the bible. Proverbs 25:13 – As the cold of snow in the time of harvest, so is a faithful messenger to them that send him: for he refresheth the soul of his masters.

Sometimes someone can point out something we missed. The author said that with the verses of snow in the old and the new testaments, the new shows the Lord’s glory. Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? The treasure isn’t the diamond, but where the diamond is kept.

Shelter in the Wilderness 2-10-19

IMG_5987 (1)

As soon as I woke this morning and went to the kitchen window and this tiny house in the woods drew my attention. There is always shelter in the wilderness-whatever our wilderness is, and the door is always open.

Ezekiel 34:25 – I will make with them a covenant, and will cause the evil beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell safely in the wilderness, and sleep in the woods.

Romans 8:38-39 – For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

It is time – reminder of Sept 2015

untitled

I’m reminded this morning of September 2015. I woke to hearing the congregation in my grandmother’s church singing. Their sweet voices singing this beautiful song that they sang when I was a little girl sitting on the pew with my Bigma, waiting to eat the chicken pot pie in the picnic basket. We would get in Grandaddy’s old blue truck and he would gently place the picnic basket in the back.

When I first started hearing the singing, I wasn’t sure what they were singing but I knew I remembered that tune. Then I heard, ‘Count the milestones one by one, Jesus will forsake you never, it is better farther on’.

Why would I hear that song at that time was my question. I soon found out the milestones leading up to us going home were quickly passing by. Notable signs to getting us there – just flying by as we watch.

I looked up the definition of milestones –

a stone set up beside a road to mark the distance in miles to a particular place.
an action or event marking a significant change or stage in development.

New York’s approval of aborting a baby at full term if it means trouble for the mother if the baby is born made no sense whatsoever. Oh they explained it in terms to make their decision to protect women viable in anyone’s eyes that are closed. Mine are open, and so is my heart. This is not right in any form you put it. You can’t make a word that justifies this. You can’t explain it away.

So this milestone in our country’s history is one that draws attention to the fact that we are in the times when the Christian has to stop and know that Jesus will forsake us never and it is better farther on.

I woke the morning of the blood moon and knew there were two standing by my bed. I don’t know if they were angels or what but one said ‘we are waiting for her to choose Jesus’. I didn’t understand that so I prayed about it and got the answer while working at my desk a couple days ago. It shocked me when I realized that I will soon be brought before governors and kings for Jesus’ sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.

But take no thought how or what thing ye shall answer, or what ye shall say. For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.

This grandmother that I sat beside in church is the same one that talked to me when I would stand behind her and comb her long gray hair. She gave me a warning. She said ‘one day they are going to try to put a mark on you, don’t take it, don’t let them do that’.

So stand bold saints. This is not our home. We have an eternal home bright and fair, and our rooms have been prepared. God bless and keep the faith. Hold on to what you know, and not what you feel. Stand firm on His Word. Know it in your hearts. And pray one for another.

There’s another scripture that tells us to go inside and shut thy doors until this indignation pass. These are things coming to me this week. It is time. Cover your doors, cover yourselves and your families. It is time.

Higher Love – 1-10-19

img_5748 (1)

Words can’t do this justice but I’ll try.

There are so many broken. I asked God was there anything that can be said to those that are hurting so bad for so many reasons.

I had a dream in the night that was so precious. I can’t think about it without the tears flowing down my face.

I was watching plates and cups that were like fine china. Their colors were a brilliant blue and bridal white. I didn’t see God but I knew the light shining on all this fine china was Him. The light was coming from my right from up high.

All the china was in awe, very still, and silent in His presence. There was so much peace and love.

Then the light focused on a cup in the back. It was so broken and shattered. It’s beautiful brilliant blue colors were laying close by, and one by one they began to find their place as the cup was so lovingly put back together. The Father gently and lovingly said ‘you are so beautifully and wonderfully made’.

As the pieces kept being put back together, the Father said ‘I know everything about you…and I still love you’.

I hope this brings comfort today. It’s not the first time I’ve seen a fragile dish used to show how God works.

Psalm 139:14 – I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.

Psalm 63:7-8
Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. My soul followeth hard after thee: thy right hand upholdeth thee.

Jeremiah 17:14
Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved, for thou art my praise.

Haggai 1:13
Then spake Haggai the Lord’s messenger in the Lord’s message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the Lord.

Jeremiah 31:3
The Lord hath appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn thee.

This morning the song ‘Higher Love’ by Lilly & Steve Winwood got stuck in my head. I haven’t heard it in years. It reminds me of needing God’s love.

Out of the Darkness – 12-11-18

IMG_5376 (1)

Out of the darkness a great light dawned on this earth. A light to live in us and shine for others to see, for the darkness could not overcome the light. He said ‘I am the light and whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, for he has the light of life.’ We fell to our knees and confessed as we had lied and claimed to fellowship with Him, but yet walked in darkness. He was just to forgive, so whom shall we fear? The Lamb at the center of the throne is our Shepherd; He leads us to springs of living water.
We now walk with the light, and even in our darkest hour, He lights the way. Now the unfolding of our words give light and are not changed by shifting shadows. Our faith knows there is a place that needs no sun and no moon, for the Glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. It’s a place where the sovereign Lord wipes away the tears from all faces there. He removes His people’s disgrace from all the earth.
And in that day through the narrow gate we will say, His word was fulfilled just as He told it and inspired the prophets to tell. We will take our places at the feast in the kingdom of God. Though we were last, we will be first in our Father’s house of many rooms. So set your hearts and minds on things above as the wrath of God is for the dark and the things of darkness. He will make everything new as His word is trustworthy and true. He is the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End.
