Dreams, Visions and the Times of the Harvest

Dear friends,

This is the time of the harvest. It is beautiful that the Heavenly Father has chosen to reveal himself to us, mere children in need of much grace. I'm so honored by Him for his love and revelation.  It is my privilege to share this testimony for His glory. I am praying during this season for MORE dreams, MORE visions and REVELATION to MANY of who Jesus (Yahoshua) is and what His role really means for us on earth. How beautiful to belong :)  May Jesus be glorified.

Joel 2:27b-29
  "...and my people shall never again be put to shame. It shall come to pass afterwards, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.29 Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit."

He has been kind and gracious, and He has promised that we shall not be put to shame, for we are His people.  Because of the kindness of Yahwah, of the Lion of Judah, Emmanuel... 

The Vision... 
--This past Sunday, June 21, I saw Jesus come into our midst during worship at a small group in Ozark MO. We were worshiping the Lord, and Jesus came and stood in our center.  I almost jumped out of my seat in excitement. I was awed by his presence, his warmth his goodness. You could just melt in the goodness of Jesus there is nothing like it!  He is SO WORTHY!
--Then Jesus transformed in our midst into the Lion of Judah, who He is. He is over all, He surpasses understanding. Jesus was the Lion of Judah and he began to walk around the room. He walked to and fro with the most piercing eyes. He was glorified and honored by our praises. He then began to roar, and in his roar souls were set free from the enemy by whom they had been bound. He proclaimed them his as He had bought them by his own blood. Jesus paid for our lives as the perfect SPOTLESS lamb of God. 
--Jesus then showed himself to me in this moment as the lamb of God. He continued to look at the people as the lamb... a mighty lamb he was...mighty, strong and pure white. He then was slain there in our midst and this was just a mental picture...then He spoke and proclaimed, I purchased them and they are mine. They are my inheritance, my birthright. They are mine. 

Let it be so Almighty God, that Yours are RIGHTFULLY RESTORED to YOU.  THANK YOU JESUS for claiming me as yours. 

If you hear his voice, He claims you as his own. He will claim you and release you from captivity because He created you and He Loves you.  

Jesus proclaims "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life and No man comes to the Father except through me." John 14:6

Jesus is the Way.  Friends, I believe that TODAY is the Day to turn to Him.  He looks for those who would seek Him and He makes a way to the Father. Our Father is the Creator God and He looked at His creation and said "it is good." He LOVES YOU!

Ask of Him, and He will be merciful and give you favor. He will show his hand and He will show you that the Time of the Harvest is NOW.  

I pray you are blessed and receive blessing from this testimony. May we always use wisdom in these things and be submitted to the Holy Spirit.  Be blessed friends.

Learning to Rest

Storms are bound to come, along with trials. God promises to work in our lives, and He gives us the ability to overcome trials and situations, conflicts, misunderstandings. He promises "Whether in plenty or in want, ... I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."  Phil4:13.

It has been wonderful to journey with God in these past several months and He has given me delightful opportunities.  It has been a growing opportunity to speak at a few different venues about stopping human trafficking and fighting against it on the local level. It has been delightful to go to Costa Rica and learn some new strategic methods of Spiritual Warfare, network with other leaders in the faith, make connections and receive instruction from the Lord.

Some of the instruction has been regretfully hard to bear.  I must admit that I have tended to be sort of a restless soul.  ... for those who know me, this goes without saying...

I like to work hard, to be ministering to others is one of my greatest delights and I love to helping people in general or giving to them.  I also become very passionate about justice, bringing justice to people...(not that I'm an expert at all.)

But a big thing that God is teaching me right now is to REST.  Rest is in more ways than one.  We face spiritual trials and adversity, but God has reminded me of my position in Him.

"I am the righteousness of Christ," "No evil shall overcome me which is not common to man" and
specifically that I am a daughter of the King of Kings...the King of the ages...which threatens the enemy.  Because it threatens Him, he fights, ... but I have the CHAMPION of champions fighting for me. THANK YOU JESUS.

God at times wants us to rest in him. To PAUSE, if you will and re-evaluate, stop what we're doing and make sure we are not doing it on our own, but that it flows out of what He has done in us.

REST:
1 Kings 5:4 "The LORD my God has given me rest on every side. There is no adversary or crisis."

Acts 9:31 "Then the churches had rest throughout..., and were edified, and walking in the fear of the LORD, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied."

Even Acts expresses that the church was multiplied through the comfort of the Holy Spirit, not of effort, but out of a time of rest and edification.

How AWESOME!

A while back, I believe God spoke to me that he was fully healing me of anxiety. At this time, I have been proclaiming and testifying that it is true. This Restfulness and peace has been given to me as a gift of God and I must practice it as a discipline, to be full of Him and not get caught up as it says in Isaiah 8 "Do not get caught up in the conspiracies of the world..."  

It is easy to grow fearful when we see all the evil upon the earth and to grow anxious, but we have a GREAT HOPE and I have CONFIDENCE in God because His word teaches that Salvation has come. He says in Romans 8:24 that we hope for what we do not see, but in this our faith is strengthened and we are not to throw away our confidence, knowing that we wait for what will certainly be ours through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I'm healed from anxiety.  Praise God for this, I have known and believe that God healed me. The burdens of this world might bear you down or hold you down,... but Jesus paid it all. He is my SUPERHERO.

May God richly bless you today.
May you have peace in your soul, in your steps where you walk and may you be clothed with all righteousness, faith and truth. May love be a spring of living water from within you and may your mind be graced with revelation of your standing before the Maker, who loves us more than we can possibly imagine, even when we least deserve it.

Yours for the kingdom.
