In the midst of my day, I thought, I am going to take the time to bring a little fresh light on my blog.
Blogging can be so difficult when you feel the force to write. I applaud journalist who must meet a deadline and who feel the sense of urgency to come up with some 'news' to write about every single day. Something I need to discipline myself to do.
While it is on my mind, I thought I would write. I felt the sense of 'urgency' not because someone told me to do it, but because I thought I might one day forget.
Have you ever seen a vision? You know, the vision that you just can't explain, because you are wide awake but all of the sudden you see, like a dream something before your eyes? Well, I have. Once on a walk, I saw and 'heard' ten warrior type angels marching directly behind me, and I literally heard them come from the air above me, in a swift motion and took their position. It was truly amazing and not many people would ever believe it was so, but I do know that angels wait to hear from us. There are too many scriptures that prove they are given charge over us. When we pray, when we give, when we fast. I have sensed them all in these three areas. Just recently when I was praying at the end of my home Bible Study with 8 women I saw yet another vision.
My eyes were closed, but suddenly I saw people standing behind each of the 8 women in my living room. The visual was not the most comforting of visions I have had in the past, but I know the significance is more important than the actual picture I saw. The people who were standing behind each of my friends, were all dressed in dingy white clothes and the lines faded in the distance. It's as if they were all dressed alike and they were not cleaned up at all. In fact they looked as if they had come from a concentration camp or something. It was sad, what I saw.
I realized almost immediately that they were needing something that each of the women had. They were waiting, forlorn and a very sad countenance.
Now let me explain that when you are in Bible study you are in direct connection with the WORDS of God. (II Timothy 3:15-16 ALL scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness.= (right standing with God.) So that the man of God may be perfect thoroughly furnished unto all good works.)
What I realized is that God was certainly showing me characteristics of people walking this earth. Most have no hope and they are aimlessly wondering around looking for a light or a place that can possibly clean them up or aid in helping them to feel alive again.
The difference in my visual and the actual story I have witnessed of Corrie Ten Boom, who's story has touched thousands for centuries, after her horrific experience in Hitlers concentration camp. The people in Hitlers camp were not free to walk about and find hope. Cory and her sister found hope only in the faith they had and kept in the sight of the Lord.
The people in my vision were free to walk about. I knew this because they were there standing behind my friends. Yet, sadly, they were not truly free.
It amazes me how the heart of God can be shown through us if we are willing to just sit, take the time to study His word and pray.
When Jesus was teaching, on the mountainside, in Matthew chapter 5 he says these words in verse 5. "When God blesses those who are gentle and lowly, the whole earth will belong to them." verse 6: "If they are 'hungry' and thirsty for justice, they will receive it in full.'
Many mission minded evangelist appreciate this scripture particularly because it reaches the heart of the viewer and quite possibly grabs at their pocket book, in order to give to their foundation or ministry...which is not a bad thing.
But when I saw the dingy grey disheartened wanderers, all I could sense was that they were everywhere walking like zombies.
These types of people according to my vision are not just in the homeless shelters and or the drug addicted facilities or even in halfway houses. They are actually your co-worker, your neighbor or even the woman you have a scheduled appointment with every six weeks.
What ever the status and successes of women and men, there are many who are identical to the dead walking. WE have all at some point of our lives resembled this vision of people.
We are to reach these people. Furthermore, we are to most certainly turn around and see that they are there and that they have need of something we have.
True and pure success on this earth is to help people find ways to lead.
When a life is placed in your path, Jesus said; "The Kingdom of Heaven is given to them."
Don't you want the people following after you to be with you in finding personal victory?
Jesus said; "FOLLOW ME" .....therefore, that's all I have to offer.
Teaching Truth as I was Taught
