All Saints Day 2009

The following is the account of this All Saint's Day annual revelations for 2009. Thank you again to all who prayed and kept me in their hearts. I firmly believe your partnership is what has allowed this years revelations to be so markedly different than years past.

I have written not just an account of the experiences, but also my thoughts on what I feel God is speaking through them. Please feel free to leave comments or let me know what God is speaking to you through them. May we all be encouraged and built up.A Visit from Jesus.
The experiences began when I woke up with the awareness that Jesus was standing over me with his hands on me. He spoke many scriptures over me and although I heard them perfectly clearly and was aware that they were scriptures that he had spoken in the New Testament, later on I remembered only a few details of what he actually said. The details that I remember are that he spoke of busyness, inheriting his promises and he highlighted Sarah, Abraham’s wife in the bible.

As I think about Sarah's life I think about how Sarah tried to cause God’s promises to come about her own way. I felt that Jesus was emphasizing that patience was very important and to trust him to bring about his promises in his timing. All the while he spoke his hands were on me and power, like electricity and warm, hot love washed over my body again and again.

The Voice of the Holy SpiritA short time later I heard a voice say that each one of us should champion what God has placed on our hearts. This seemed to indicate not waiting for the church or others to facilitate a group to participate in, but instead taking the initiative of leading out in the things we are passionate about.

Here is one of those divine paradoxes that seem to abound so much in scripture. On the one hand Jesus is present and saying to be patient and trust him which is reflected in scriptures such as “be still and know that I am God,” and “they that wait on the Lord will renew their strength…” Then on the next hand through his Holy Spirit he is saying to move forward and champion the things he has placed on our hearts, which is reflected in scriptures such as, “do not grow weary in doing good” and “add to your faith, goodness (action)…if you possess these in increasing measure...” So which is it; patience and stillness or championing and action? How do we know when to move and when to rest?
I believe the answer is not so much a formula as it is a step of faith, because the righteous will live by faith. Because my sheep hear my voice, God intends on guiding us daily through the fruit of the spirit which is peace, love, joy, etc. If we are feeling condemnation, then we are probably striving. However if we are experiencing Godly conviction, then we will experience an empowering to change or act because godly sorrow leads to repentance. Remember, faith without deeds is dead, so there should be some action involved in our walk with Christ. The practical outlay of that usually first involves living a lifestyle of loving God, loving family, and loving those that are in our realms of influence. It is as we learn this dance of faith and relationship that we receive the empowerment that comes through the next scripture that I received…
God is looking for people to anoint and strengthenI heard the scripture, “For the eyes of the Lord move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely his.” ll Chronicles 16:9 God is actively seeking and earnestly desiring to find a people whose hearts are completely his. Why is he doing this? Because he is looking for those in whom he can trust the release of greater amounts of authority and dominion. Only those whose hearts are truly Gods can walk the greater paths of influence and ultimately not fall to the greater temptations and devices of the devil. We’ve heard it said so many times; greater levels, greater devils. This is why we mustthrough practice and use learn to distinguish good from evil. Practice perfects the things that concern us.
There is no formula to the Manifest Presence that is comingIn the next picture I became aware of a lot of smoke, but there was no fire causing the smoke. In this picture I was with several others and we were determined to find the source of the smoke. After looking around, our final determination was that the smoke had to be from a divine source. I felt like this indicated that over the course of the coming year we would be experiencing the manifest presence of God in our midst. As God moves and does things that we do not expect, the concern at times can be to figure out the source and what we are doing to cause God to move. I believe God desires to say very clearly that his move is something that is initiated by him and not a result of our actions. We have an opportunity to get on board with what he is doing in the earth and to celebrate his presence rather than create a formula, because there is no formula for what God is about to do. I believe this next experience shows why God is going to be showing up more and more…
I Adore...Mi Amor
I heard the chorus of a song being sung, “I adore, mi amore.” This is a secular love song that I believe communicates God’s heart of love and passion towards us.

Chorus
Dream on... Dream away
I think I'm gonna have to stay
Stay forever

I adore... mi amor
I adore... mi amor

You want to take her place
You say you'd treat me better
But, better I know for sure
You see she loves me
And I could never leave her (ooh yeah)
(Never baby, never)

She means the world to me
And I live for her
(Chica tu cres me vida la ternuda)

She's my destiny I know
(Y alegria amor)
Forever my love
(Y est sueno)
And I'll never let her go (oh no)
(Contigo sera verda) (yeah yeah)
Listen... my love, the girl of my dreams

And I will never leave
She's all that I need and more
I'll love her always
What more could a man ask for
(What more could I ask for)

You know that I really love my baby
She can give me everything I need
There is no one to take her place
She's got my heart in her hands
Baby, I adore

Dream on... dream away
I think I'm gonna have to stay
Stay foreverI believe the key phrase translates, “I adore… my love.” I get the feeling through this song that God is absolutely and incredibly in love with us. In that love he wants us to dream big dreams, know that he is never going to leave us, know that he lives for us and our destiny is wrapped up in him; all of this as we walk by the Spirit.

Revelation of this intriguing and fascination type of love is going to be important due to the spiritual warfare that will be rising up in our days.
What will sustain us in War?
I saw in the spirit, “Witchcraft is calling forth people to rise up.” I felt that even as God is raising up his spiritual army of light and love, the army of darkness is not passive, but is actively equipping and raising up people of darkness.

Understanding the depths of this spiritual conflict we are facing in the days ahead is important because when the going gets tough, only love will keep us through. Hired hands tend to leave as soon as the pay seems to be drying up and situations get tough, but a lover will fight with passion to the bloody end. In the midst of conflict there are going to be times when the outcome of events we are closely watching or participating in won’t turn out the way we expect which leads to the next experience.

In believing for Breakthrough
I heard a desperate voice weeping that was saying so and so or something wouldn’t change. I think that in the days ahead there are going to be some situations in our lives, in the economy and throughout the world that are not going to change as quickly as we would like. In some circumstances there will be even greater shaking before there is outward improvement. The impression I received from this experience is that our peace is not to be conditional on circumstances. When our emotions are conditional on what other people or other circumstances do, then those people and circumstances have power over our lives and the Lord desires that He and He alone is our peace.

Words of Life
I saw what looked like a scroll or parchment paper in which the writing on it was written in blood. I saw the numbers 13:09 and 10:1-9. Later I felt God said these numbers represented verses in the book of Mathew.

Mathew 13:9 He who has ears, let him hear.

Mathew 10:1-9 He called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out evil spirits and to heal every disease and sickness. 

These are the names of the twelve apostles; first, Simon (who is called Peter) and his brother Andrew; James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John; Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Mathew the tax collector; James son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus; Simon the Zealot and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. 
These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: “Do not go among the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, preach this message; ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’ Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give. Do not take along any gold or silver or copper in your belts;”

As we learn discernment by trusting God above our circumstances, we will be given ears to hear what God is saying and as we take to time to listen to God, he will give us specific instructions. Whoever would have suspected that Jesus, the son of God would have said not to go to the Gentiles or to Samaria? Heavenly wisdom is not the same thing as earthly wisdom and as we learn the difference we will be anointed with power and sent out to heal every disease and sickness, deliver people from demonic oppression and see God’s Kingdom forcefully advanced.
Making the Shift
A voice said we have not yet made the shift to judge things after the Spirit and see things as they really are. As clashes between light and darkness increase, the spirit of discernment will grow increasingly important in our daily walk with Christ. Again heavenly wisdom and earthly wisdom are not the same things and we have got to learn to make the shift by hearing God’s voice. Remember, my sheep know my voice.

World Events
I saw a wave that was underground that went throughout the earth shaking foundations. This wave ended when it flipped one of three Pyramids.

I believe that there are various foundations throughout the earth that will continue to be shaken. Past experience from Halloween night visitations dictate that about a year from now we will be able to look back and see what the practical outlay of this vision means.

The next and last experience was one of the more unusual and enjoyable experiences I have had.

Our Tunnel of Solidarity
In this experience I walked down a tunnel whose scenery completely changed every so often. First it was as though I was out in outer space and there were asteroids all around me. Then I was in different places throughout the earth. At one point it seemed that I was on the edge of hell and there were many demonic things about. Through the entire journey down the tunnel, the tunnel itself never changed and I heard the word “Solidarity.” I felt God was saying that no matter our circumstances or what we see around us he is the same yesterday, today and forever and we can always rely on him. Our God is the rock on which we can stand.

Whether we are walking in a realm of great beauty and revelation as is depicted in the first celestial environment around the tunnel, whether we are walking on this earth through the practical’s of everyday life or whether at times it seems that we are on the edge of hell itself through things happening in the economy, the world and our lives, God is our rock; our sure foundation in which we can trust.

The God who is in charge when we are surrounded by beauty and revelation is the same God that is in charge when everything seems to be going wrong. God desires that we be set in such a way that we will not be shaken, no matter what is happening in our environment. Again, God is our rock, God is our rock, GOD IS OUR ROCK!
