Walking Through Fire - Vision from June 2020

 Walking through fire – Vision – 6/14/2020

 Vision I had during 1^st service worship on Sunday morning, June 14, 2020.  This was approximately 5-months ago.  At the time of this vision our church was doing 3 services due to COVID-19 social distancing.  All staff and volunteers were wearing masks.

 Vision:

 During worship the sanctuary around me faded away and now all I see is an inferno.  Not just one inferno, but every city across the nation, and possibly the world, is engulfed in an inferno of fire.  And this is not just any fire, but it is HELL FIRE.  It is consuming, hot, and destructive…

 Then I see believers begin to become small individual bonfires.  Not the same fire that is in the cities, but Holy Spirit, heavenly fire.  As more believers begin to ‘catch on fire’ we begin moving toward each other and unite by joining hands, linking arms, or putting a hand on another’s shoulder.  I notice that as we link up to one another our small individual bonfires become a raging, consuming fire.  I saw our Pastor front and center of this local group of consuming fire believers. 

 We began to walk in one accord, and with purpose through the cities of hell fire.  As we purposefully walked through the hell fire our Holy Spirit fire began to consume the fires of hell so they had no more power, and our Heavenly fires grew larger and more powerful. 

 I noticed that this was not easy work.  It was hard, hot, sticky and purposeful, but we were not harmed or burned. 

 

End of Vision

 

 The amazing-ness of this vision reminded me of movies where you see a fire or explosion and you are holding your breath wondering if the ‘good guys’ survived, then just when you think all hope is lost the ‘good guy’ comes striding out of the fires holding the baby or child or whomever needed rescuing.  

This is a call for Believers both around the world and in the United States to UNITE in prayer.  The hell fires of Satan desire to consume, but we have the true Consuming Fire of the Holy Spirit inside us.  Let us ignite through prayer, worship and unity and watch what the Lord can do as we fall to our knees.  It is not easy to wage a spiritual battle, but it is worth it as we know that the Victory is the Lord's.

Freedoms Lost and Restored

 For lack of a better title I called this dream: Freedoms Lost and Restored

I had this dream just over 1-year ago on the night of September 15 / morning of September 16, 2019.  I have shared this dream with a handful of people over the last year, and they can vouch for the fact that I had it BEFORE this election and the time we are currently in.  

I tend to lean toward this dreaming being for now, but as I do not know the future it could certainly be for another time.  Time will tell, or you can feel free to ask God yourself.

 Setting:

A beautiful white sand and blue water beach on the shores of the USA.

 Dream:

As this dream begins I am standing alone on the beautiful white sands of a beach somewhere on the shores of the USA.  I can see the crystal blue water, feel the soft gentle breeze and even taste the slightly salty air.  It is pristine and peaceful. 

 As I stand there I begin to look around and notice very specific items dotted around the beach.  The first thing I see is the Bible lying on the sand.  Then I see the American flag.  As I look more I see prayer, then the Ten Commandments, marriage, food, money, homes, jobs, the justice system, law and order, and the white house. 

 As I spy each new object I realize two things.  One, these are our freedoms; and mostly freedoms that we take for granted like food and prayer.  Two, these freedoms had been gathered and placed in this one location.

 While making these observations I begin to notice other believers popping up all over the beach with me, and each of them had the same bewildered expression on their faces as to say, “Why have our freedoms been gathered here?”  There were hundreds (maybe thousands) of believers dropped onto this beach at this same place and time.

 While we were all standing, pondering and observing the waters began to rise like a high tide and covered all of the freedoms set about on the sand.  The water rose until every last freedom was under the water, but as we stood on the sand above we could still see our freedoms just under the surface of the clear blue water.

 Then a thick, putrid, oily sludge began to move across the waters starting from the horizon line as far as the eye could see and moving toward the shore.  This foul smelling toxic sludge was thick and sticky and moved to the shore to cover every drop of water, quickly burying our freedoms under it until they could no longer be seen or felt.

 The believers gathered there on the shore began to weep, mourn, wail and cry out to the Lord in deep groaning prayers to restore our freedoms to us.  We cried out in unison as one loud wailing voice of a mother that had lost her child, full of grief.

 While the believers were falling to their knees weeping and praying, a riotous mob formed in the distance on the dry land behind us.  They were screaming and uttering foul and diabolical threats while charging toward us to kill us and make us stop praying.  As they ran toward us in one evil accord the large hand of God slammed down in front of them creating a wall between them and us.

 We were unmoved and continued to battle in prayer on our knees.  The more fervent and united we became the more I saw what looked like a sweet smelling incense rise off of us into the heavenlies above. 

 Once this fragrance reached a thick cloud a strong, fresh wind began to blow across the face of the water.  The wind pushed away every last speck of that thick putrid sludge and restored the beautiful beach and clear waters.  The wind also brought the water level back to normal and exposed our once hidden freedoms. 

 We praised and thanked the Lord that our freedoms had been restored, but then I had a deep internal knowing that the restoration of those freedoms was temporary.

 

The dream ended.

To me, this is a call to prayer right now.  Believers, call out to God for our freedoms to remain on earth as it is in Heaven.
