I’ve written of how people hear from God in a variety of ways. Our newsletter of October 2013 dealt entirely
with that. It is of course a subject of
great interest to all believers. People
hear from God directly sometimes in a still small voice or even an audible
voice, or in times of prayer, or through reading and focusing on certain
scriptures, or through a dream, or a vison, sometimes through other people, or
circumstances, and more.
Over the years I have at times openly spoken of some specific
revelation or word of guidance I have received from the Lord that I know is to
be shared broadly. Many of those in
recent years have related to the imminent return of the Lord.
Well, in the wee early hours of May 2, just a few days ago, I had a
dream that was so clearly from God. It
was a message that must be shared. I sat
up in bed, got my writing tablet, and wrote all down the Lord had shown
me. This I pass on to you now, because
surely it is for everyone.
In this dream, I saw the action before me. I was not actually a character in the dream,
just an observer.
As the dream began, the scene was in Congress. Three men were walking pointedly down a
corridor, very purposefully, determinedly.
One was a senator and was carrying a briefcase.
In the dream I saw as if from behind, and I saw these three
walking. To the left of these along the
corridor was an area that continued the length of the corridor. It was full of people watching and murmuring. Murmuring.
There was a sense that the senator and Congress don’t know what they are
doing.
The senator was walking to vote on a very important matter –
environmental, economic, something like that, something important.
And this murmuring from the crowd continued.
Suddenly the senator turned to the crowd and spoke:
“Yes, we don’t know what to do.
But here’s the truth.
You don’t know what to do either.
None of you.
No one on earth knows.”
And in the background these three words came forth:
“Only God knows.”
And then this message: People
have to get on their faces and ask God – all people!
And the dream ended.
That was a direct message from God.
The key of the whole thing is obvious:
This situation we the people are all in now cannot be solved by
people. The people do not know what to
do. The organizations and the world
systems just are not working well.
Obviously for any believer, the only one who does know is God, and then
anyone to whom God reveals his guidance and plan.
God.
There is that wonderful scripture in 2 Chronicles 7:14 that “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” (NIV)
That’s it. That’s the message
God just gave me for the people. For all
of you. For everyone.
The last message of the dream is that people have to get on their faces
and ask God – all people. That is
humbling themselves. That is praying and
asking God.
We know we are so close to the return of the Lord. We know the vast majority of humankind in the
world and in America is as lost as skunks and not at all ready for the events
soon to unfold.
And yes we serious believers – ministers, pastors, teachers, everyday
people – try to do all we see and understand and are led to do. But as of now, the vast majority still does
not hear.
Get on your faces and pray! Seek
God and ask! The Bible talks in
Philippians about how at the name of Jesus everyone will be on their
knees. Well, in this dream from the
Lord, he wants us on our faces.
Now look at this! I today
watched a video of Jonathan Cahn speaking on May 5, just three days after my
dream. As I watched I was amazed by what
he said. He called on everyone to fall on their faces before God! Again, the guidance to get on our faces. He heard the same thing I did! Cahn went on to call for the Holy Spirit to
fall, for a revival in the land.
Add to all this another dream: A
few days ago my wife Cathy had a dream clearly from God. In it people sat in a theater watching a play
about a fire burning a building. All the
while, the theater itself was on fire!
Can you think of a better description of our situation in America
today? People all the time watch movies
and programs and activities with violence, mayhem, wild disasters, immoral
behavior, and more, all the time they themselves are living in the midst of and
at risk of that very thing in this society.
My message to you: It is
time. Now is the time. Help us people. You are the people. Newsletters and services and preachers and
such can only reach so many. Help us.
Pray for God to remove the veils from the minds of the people, that
they will be able to see and to receive and to understand the truth – to
understand who the Lord is and the times we are living in and to receive the
Lord as their savior, their King. Pray
for revival. Pray for the Holy Spirit to
touch everyone.
Help yourselves and us people!
Yes, the Lord is coming soon. But
surely we don’t have to sit by and let America totally fall to shreds before he
comes. Certainly we can be out there
striving to do all he has asked.
We all do have to answer to the Lord too.
Keep Your Eyes on Jesus!

2016)
