Lights and Phones and Comets, oh my!

The Lord spoke to me through a parable today. This morning John's cell phone was stuck in silent mode and would not ring. We both know how to set the ring volume, but neither of us could make it work. It remained silent and as a result he missed several important calls. Nothing we tried would work, so we laid the phone aside and muttered that we would have to locate a 5th grader to show us how to fix it! Suddenly this evening the phone rang and we just stared at each other. How did it get fixed? No one had touched it!

I went into the kitchen to make dinner and my kitchen light would not come on. We tried turning it on and turning it off several times, but to no avail. I left the switch on, but began cooking in the dim, fading light from the window. Suddenly, as I was setting the dinner plates on the table, the light came on. No one had touched it! Incredulous, John asked, "What is going on?" It came to me immediately: "It's a parable. The Lord is saying to us, 'For the revelation waits for the appointed time. It speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it, it will come and will not delay.'" (Habakkuk 2:3)

Our Father delights to rescue us! He led the Israelites to the edge of the sea with the Egyptian army right behind them, the situation seemingly hopeless. And then He rescues them with a miracle, in order that HE might get all the glory! I am convinced that He loves this more than anything - allowing His children to come to the end of their abilities and self-sufficiencies so that He can rescue them and receive the glory. As things grow more and more difficult in these "end times" and the painful birth pangs increase in intensity, our God is calling us to WAIT on Him and trust Him for our deliverance. Unable to make the cell phone ring or the kitchen light come on, HE came in His own timing, and did not delay! It is in these small ways that the Spirit speaks to us and brings encouragement and understanding.

In the midst of all these recent earthquakes and the impending impact of Hurricane Irene, I've been studying the effects of a comet named Elenin. According to the most knowledgeable NASA scientists, the alignment of Elenin with several other planets (as well as sun and moon) has clearly caused the intensity of earthquakes and volcanoes to rise significantly in the past couple of years. Now in the coming months of September and October - not surprisingly near and on the Feast of Yom Teruah (the Blowing of Trumpets) and the Feast of Tabernacles - Elenin will be perfectly aligned within the constellation Virgo with the sun, the moon, Venus and Saturn, to perfectly fulfill the vision in Revelation 12:

"A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon at her feet and 12 stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth. The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth so that he might devour the child as soon as he was born."

I strongly encourage you to watch the video from this web link, if you can. It is only about 15 minutes long, and it will astonish and bless you! This vision given to the Apostle John on the Island of Patmos about 2000 years ago will appear in the heavens in our day, and ON the day that will be fulfilled when the Lord returns! God's Word does not return to Him void, and He watches over it to accurately perform it. Who could not believe in YHVH, the King of the Universe, the One True God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?! For the revelation waits for the appointed time. It will not prove false. Though it linger, wait for it; it will come and will not delay!

Wise as Serpents

I had a dream a few nights ago that the Spirit has continued to interpret for me. At first it seemed somewhat disjointed, but as He has given me understanding, I see the whole picture and the message He wanted me to get. Now I feel led to pass it on, as it is something we must ALL get! Matthew 10:16: "I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be as wise as serpents and harmless as doves."

In my dream John and I were leading a Shabbat service in a big park with large, green rolling hills, a couple of sheltered picnic areas and a BBQ pit. Our usual small congregation was present and we had just begun setting food out on the tables to share, when I looked over the hill and saw hundreds and hundreds of people approaching. My heart leapt with joy! In my great excitement I felt that surely the time had finally come when many would be seeking truth and would come to celebrate the Sabbath and learn of Yeshua, the Messiah. How wrong I was! In our "harmless as doves" state, we forget the Lord's caution that we must also stay fully alert and be "wise as serpents." I suppose you could say having a serpent's wisdom is to be "street-smart," aware of the wolves around you, discerning who really desires truth and who is operating in deception.

As these crowds began to swarm around our tables, we were offering food to the first few who came, and I began teaching from the Word of God. In a loud voice I was sharing verses of Scripture, feeling certain I must be fulfilling the prophecy of Amos when he said, "...there will be a famine, not for food, but for the Word of God." But the food on our tables quickly ran out and the people became angry. They mocked me and derided me, shouting, "We don't want your God! We want real food!" Some threw things at us, others just turned around and left.

Just after this my ex-husband came walking up to our congregation and bitterly scorned me, telling the people, "She is a murderer! She killed my son!" His horrifying lie and the mocking of the crowds was almost more than I could bear; and then I woke up.

Over time the Lord has spoken to me about this dream and said, "You need to be prepared for these days. Do not be so innocent as to think that all people will want to know Me and know the Truth. Narrow is the way to salvation and few will find it; this is because few will even desire it. Do not throw your pearls before swine, and do not give away food that will sustain My family to the enemy's family. Be wise. Be discerning. Listen to My Voice. For many will mock you, and persecute you, and say all manner of evil things about you. But you hold fast to the faith and do not be moved. As the days grow darker, you will receive more light."
