I stirred from a vision of a female immersed in
water, face up. I believe her eyes were open and there were flakes of some sort
floating above her eyes. The first thing that I thought of was when scales fell
from Paul’s eyes. This woman did not look like me. Could this be the church?
Could it be America?
What do you hear?
First, I will speak
of the woman. As I read this, I saw a
fully developed woman, just floating in the water, as if she was waiting or
resting. Immediately I saw a baby inside
a womb in the sac of water, totally immersed, awaiting its birth. When a baby is born, it does not have a say
in the place or the setting. For such a time as this that child is brought
forth. Who knows how that one will grow to touch nations. But God does.
Secondly, there were
flakes above her eyes. Distracted by the
flakes, that is where her focus was. The
enemy of us all, would have us to get sidetracked and focused on the wrong
things, so as to sneak by us. Also yes, they are blinders, blocking her vision,
blocking the light, from opening her eyes.
3rdly, Is this the
church? Is this America? Or is this the American Church? Yes, Yes, Yes! However, when she becomes immersed in the
Spirit (the water) and allows herself to be washed again by the water of the
Word, then revelation will come, her eyes will be opened and the scales and
blinders will fall off of her.
Upon hearing the
election results, an old protest song against the Vietnam war began playing
round and round inside of me: “Where
have all the flowers gone? Long time
passing. Where have all the flowers
gone? Long time ago. Where have all the flowers gone? Girls picked them everyone. When will they ever learn, when will they
ever learn?”
When will we learn
Lord to put You first in all we do?
Next it shifted into;
“I wish we’d all been ready” by Larry Norman.
Life was filled with guns and war
And all of us got trampled on the floor
I wish we'd all been ready
The children died, the days grew cold
A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
A man and wife asleep in bed
She hears a noise and
Turns her head, he's gone
I wish we'd all been ready
[ Lyrics from:

]
Two men walking up a hill
One disappears and
One's left standing still
I wish we'd all been ready
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
The father spoke, the demons dined
How could you have been so blind?
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
There's no time to change your mind
The son has come and you've been left behind
I hope we'll all be ready
You've been left behind
You've been left behind
You've been left behind
This is a reminder
and a warning. Jesus IS coming back! And,
if you think it is bad now, the world has yet to witness the depths of
darkness, depravity and suffering that will be.
So, we must resolve to preach Christ, no matter the cost and win the
lost!
And then it has
changed to:
We have overcome- by the Blood of the Lamb- By
the power of His Blood we shall stand.
We have overcome by the Blood of the Lamb- and He will bring the
victory!
No more to be
defeated. Our hearts are filled with His
praise For through the blood that Jesus shed for you and me We walk in victory
every day.
It seemed as though
Holy Spirit was taken me on a musical journey of emotions and thoughts and then
bringing me back to where lies our power and from whence comes our help.
While looking up
these lyrics I came across this video by Desperation Band. The lyrics cause you to refocus…not that we
can or should totally ignore our surrounding
situations,. Just that they should not
dominate us, but rather we should dominate them!
Notice the last
verse: “Power in hand, speaking the Father’s Plan
You’re sending us
out, light in this broken land. All
authority, every victory is Yours…
Here am I, send me!
Send me! Use my hands, my feet, and my voice.
Let me speak the truth in love!
Let me issue edicts from above.
Let me declare the manifold wisdom of God to the powers and
principalities. Let my voice, our
voices, be the voice of change, bringing back the nation from godlessness to
Righteousness. From liberality to morality!
From plurality to Theocracy! One nation UNDER GOD. And when God is running things there is no darkness
or shadow of turning, for in Him is Light and Goodness and Justice and Virtue
and Wisdom.
Speak the Fathers Plan. It has not changed! It is still the same! He still uses the weak, foolish and base things of the world to confound the wise!
Speak the Father's Heart. Do not lay blame and criticize or play that game. Do your part. Pray for Christ to be formed in our elected officials.
Pray, "Our Father, (oh that means we are related and family, so love each other and fight for not with each other!) which art in Heaven (and thus you have a much broader view than we, so help us to see)
Hallowed be thy Name. ( Your name is still tops Lord! There is none greater than you! And because there was none greater, you swore by your own name and made a covenant with Abraham- and thus with me and you)
Thy Kingdom come,(with its rule and its way) Thy Will be done,(without balking and reservation) in earth ( I am an earthen vessel, so In this piece of earth Lord!) even as it is done in Heaven...
Give us this day (following you one day at a time Jesus!) our daily bread. (You are our bread, our very life and sustenance! We need your touch upon our lives.)
Forgive us our debts, (we owe You so much! And we say thank you so little! We make so many mistakes...and lose our way. Thank you for coming to Earth to show us the way!) As we forgive our debtors. (Teach us how to forgive debtors without excusing sin. Loving the person, hating the sin. Help us Lord. Get the religiosity out of us, and bring on the real!)
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the Kingdom(authority) and the Power and the Glory! Forever and ever. Amen. So be it.
