From 8 years ago

In the following days after my dream, the Lord told me that many would not believe what I saw.
He let me know that some saints would turn and get it right and some would be caught in their sin.
He told me some folk would be saved and that some eyes would be shut to the truth.
I was talking to my spiritual earthly father and I explained how the Lord allowed me to feel the grief, the pain, the heart wrenching heartache He feels about those who do not believe.
I think I cried for days every time I remembered how it felt and I asked Him to take the feeling away, I couldn't bare it anymore. Tears would fall from
my eyes even when
I had no emotion and it was like Jesus had borrowed my eyes to cry from... That's the only way I can explain it

When God takes you in the heavens and give you spiritual insight, what you see you really can't put into words.

After all that pain I went through in the 3 dreams God showed me. One day He allowed me to experience heaven..
...First let me say human words can not explain in actuality what you see. The colors are alive they have feeling so it not something you just see with your eyes, color is an experience.. and when I saw Jesus, it was as a light and I knew He was God and the trinity was then felt not explained. He was like standing in the sun because he was so warm and bright and in his presence you felt warm all over your body and the feeling was love alive and living... love was something not that you could just feel but see, touch, smell, hear. I could hear him audibly but not with my ears, with my heart... I could see the words...
I remember wanting to stay there. I begged Him and begged Him to let me stay not to send me back to my body. I had peace. But God said He needed me to go back because I had work to do....
I remember while I was there scrolls where opened that allowed me again to know everything I ever wanted to know about everything and every question..
and I remember hearing and feeling the most beautiful songs being sung to the Lord.... I remember trying to and wanting to remember the words but the words weren't in our language and it was described as a heavenly language. I remember trying to remember it when I came back to myself. I could not remember the song or the melody. I could not remember what I read in the scrolls either... The only thing that I remembered is that I needed to get things right so I could return..
I left there with a brand new and happy feeling of never fearing death again because I know I can not get there until I shed this body....

Take heed!!! The most important part to know is that there will be no crying or sadness in heaven. You'll be so glad you made it there that those who didn't God will wipe every tear from your eye and you won't even remember them...

Take heed!!!! Pay attention!!!! This is real... and many will look back and say I wish I knew all this I have said was real.... I'm telling you now. It is!!!

No one can take what I experienced an convince me it was anything other than what God showed me. Woe unto you who lessen the visions and dreams I have told you today. Woe unto all who do not heed the warning. Woe unto the saved WHO DO NOT REPENT!!! Do it daily!!! Every time you think about this repent again. Pray without ceasing! STAY READY!!! There was no warning on any of those days it just happened. And you were CAUGHT!!!!!! Don’t let this be your testimony of not being ready. STAY AWAKE!!!!

This ministered to me today….

Amos 3:7-8 says, "God does nothing in the earth unless He reveals His secrets to His servants the prophets"

Acts 2:16-21

this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17 In the last days, God says,
I will pour out My Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.

18 Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.

19 I will show wonders in the heavens above
and signs on the earth below,
blood and fire and billows of smoke.

20 The sun will be turned to darkness,
and the moon to blood, before the coming of the great and glorious Day of the Lord.

21 And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

Luke 21:5-36

5 And as some spake of the temple, how it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts, He said,

6 As for these things which ye behold, the days will come, in the which there shall not be left one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.

7 And they asked him, saying, Master, but when shall these things be? and what sign will there be when these things shall come to pass?

8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not deceived: for many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and the time draweth near: go ye not therefore after them.

9 But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by.

10 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom:

11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and pestilences; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.

12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name's sake.

13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.

14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:

15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

16 And ye shall be betrayed both by parents, and brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends; and some of you shall they cause to be put to death.

17 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake.

18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.

19 In your patience possess ye your souls.

20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.

21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.

22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.

23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.

24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

27 And then shall they see the Son of man coming in a cloud with power and great glory.

28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;

30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.

31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.

32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.

33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.

34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

————————————————————————

God said it through His prophets. Take heed! Though many shall prophecy in the last days (Acts 2:17) they will not be all prophets, but will flow in the gift.
Stay prayerful. Stay fasting. Stay ready and stay blessed.
Jesus said His sheep would know His voice and a stranger they would not follow.
Know for yourself the voice of the Good Shepherd.

Just me thinking 🤔 💭 again……

People are being carried away with the cares of THIS world. Stay focused. This world is passing away……
1 John 2:15-17

15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.

17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

In conclusion…….
1 John 2:6

He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

Selah…..

Matthew 11:28-30 AMP
Again …. (Learn it His way)

"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavily burdened [by religious rituals that provide no peace], and I will give you rest [refreshing your souls with salvation]. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me [following Me as My disciple], for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST (renewal, blessed quiet) FOR YOUR SOULS. For My yoke is easy [to bear] and My burden is light."

———————————————-
Take my yoke upon you and learn of me ……..

Once you learn who Jesus is, the burdens of how you see/view things will become lighter because the future of the load will be your goal….

Read with me….Matthew 25:14-30 KJV

For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey. Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents. And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two. But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them. And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them. His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into
the joy of thy lord. Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed: And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine. His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed: Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury. Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents. For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath. And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Can I point out a couple of verse? Glad you said yes….

Vs 24- 27

Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man,

reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that



I reap where I sowed not,
and gather where I have not strawed:



Thou oughtest therefore to have put
my money
to the exchangers, and then at my coming
I should have received mine own with usury.



The one who had received one talent also came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a harsh and demanding man, reaping [the harvest] where you did not sow and gathering where you did not scatter seed. So I was afraid [to lose the talent], and I went and hid your talent in the ground. See, you have what is your own.'
"But his master answered him, ‘You wicked, lazy servant, you knew

that I reap [the harvest] where I did not sow and gather where I did not scatter seed.

Then you ought to have put my money with the bankers, and at my return I would have received my money back with interest.

Verses 28-30 gives the out come…..

So take the talent away from him, and give it to the one who has the ten talents.'

"For to everyone who has [and values his blessings and gifts from God, and has used them wisely], more will be given, and [he will be richly supplied so that] he will have an abundance;
but from the one who does not have [because he has ignored or disregarded his blessings and gifts from God], even what he does have will be taken away.
And throw out the worthless servant into the outer darkness; in that place [of grief and torment] there will be weeping [over sorrow and pain] and grinding of teeth [over distress and anger]. 😳

🫣 Can I ask a question?

Whatcha’ doing?

(Don’t answer me here please. It is for introspection. It is setting in motion what the kingdom of heaven should look like)
Refer to the first sentence at 24:14

Just me thinking on scripture again….

Matthew 11:28-30

28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.

30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

What’s on my mind:

John 5:1-17

Later on there was a Jewish feast (festival), and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
Now in Jerusalem, near the Sheep Gate, there is a pool, which is called in Hebrew (Jewish Aramaic) Bethesda, having five porticoes (alcoves, colonnades). In these porticoes lay a great number of people who were sick, blind, lame, withered, [waiting for the stirring of the water; for an angel of the Lord went down into the pool at appointed seasons and stirred up the water; the first one to go in after the water was stirred was healed of his disease.] There was a certain man there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus noticed him lying there [helpless], knowing that he had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, "Do you want to get well?" The invalid answered, "Sir, I have no one to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up, and while I am coming [to get into it myself], someone else steps down ahead of me." Jesus said to him, "Get up; pick up your pallet and walk." Immediately the man was healed and recovered his strength, and picked up his pallet and walked.
Now that day was the Sabbath. So the Jews kept saying to the man who had been healed, "It is the Sabbath, and you are not permitted to pick up your pallet [because it is unlawful]." He answered them, "The Man who healed me and gave me back my strength was the One who said to me, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk.'" They asked him, "Who is the Man who told you, ‘Pick up your pallet and walk'?" Now the man who had been healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had slipped away [unnoticed] since there was a crowd in that place.
Afterward, Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "See, you are well! Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you." The man went away and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well.
For this reason the Jews began to persecute Jesus continually because He was doing these things on the Sabbath. But Jesus answered them, "My Father has been working until now [He has never ceased working], and I too am working."
———————————————————————

There is so much in this account but I wanna share what I thought about.
The man had been sick 38 years and was waiting for an event to happen. What did he do before the 38 years? He probably may had a life before this but now he was so sick he couldn’t even get himself to get in the water before someone else.
Jesus noticed him and like the woman at the well knew all about him. Jesus asked him, “Do you want to want to get well?” Seemed strange for Jesus to ask this man that seeing he had been trying to get in the water for so long and never made it. 365X38= 13,870 days he laid there trying to get in the pool and never once made it. Now Jesus, who has water that will quench his need offers it to him.
First, can you wait on the Lord for 13,870 days (38 years) to get an answer? How about 13,870 hours? (577 days) can you wait 13,870 minutes, 231 hours? How long are you willing to wait? What if when you get to your 577 days the Lord ask you is this what you really want?
Would you like the man blame other people (for stepping in your way) , or tell him about the lack of you being able to do it by yourself or the inability to find someone to do it for you? I noticed he didn’t come right out and say yes I want to be healed. 🤔 Selah

Will you be obedient and just follow His instruction when He tells you how to rise up out of your present state or circumstances?
How about when people around you tell you that you’re not doing it right? Especially the church folk…..Hmmmmm…….
Will you even know it was Jesus who answered your prayers? Or will you not know because He came in a small still voice and not a neon sign.

I’m going back to the beginning….. vs 1
Are you in the right place for Jesus to even find you…

So much meat to chew on here….. I’m going to examine some more, like Jesus in the end told him to stop sinning or something worst may happen than what you just went through for all that time….. wow!

(Just me thinking out loud)

Matthew 3:11-12

11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall BAPTIZE YOU with the Holy Ghost, and with FIRE:

12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will BURN UP THE CHAFF with unquenchable fire.

———————————————————————

Let the FIRE PURGE YOU and burn up ALL the stuff that is not pure or glorify OUR FATHER.

Wake up.Don’t sleep and hear the parts you want to. Wake up and eat the WHOLE SCROLL.

Luke 9:1-6

Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

2 And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.

3 And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.

4 And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.

5 And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.

6 And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
——————————————————

This morning let me bring your attention to this thought. Take nothing for your journey.

A few things come to my mind in these scriptures as I considered it;

- It over all is the journey God gave me.
- I will not need to take anything ( nothing I need to put on, nothing I need to spend, nothing I need to write or remember for later, nothing will happen I need to protect myself from, my appetite will not need attention) on the assignment that God has for me.
-Everything I think I need God has already taken care of.
- Many things (or people) I think I need to take will only be cumbersome and in the way.
- My faith will determine the authority.
- There will be people along the way who will not be in acceptance of my journey. Don’t let it slow you down to consider them.
- I won’t be gone on this journey long (We are on God’s time not our earthly time schedule)

* These are my thoughts for me in this part of my journey. God said these things in scripture and brought it to my attention today so that I can realize that it should not be a heavy journey. If I find that the journey has become heavy or cumbersome, I need to go back and see what I picked up that I was not intended to carry.

Even when it said in the scripture “And whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two”. (The Roman soldiers of that time could ask you to go one mile with them and carry their stuff. ) It was required of you to do so. Going the extra mile, will humble me but also showed me that even that 1 mile had an end point. Hallelujah.
Going the extra mile is not for me, but in order to give them time by my humility to change them and see Christ in me…..

Colossians 3:23-24

And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;
Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.

Maybe my thoughts today can help someone else. ❤️🌹 Shalom Shalom

Matthew 5:41

And whoever forces you to go one mile, go with him two.
