"2008 - Year of the Sheep"

May I be so bold as to speak of an inner witness to the words you have been given... having heard similar and stepped out as the Spirit of the Lord has led.

In having heard similar... may I also offer by way of encouragement and possible confirmation one of the many ways this is beginning to take place as He brings forth the fullness of HIS heart: Daily ... the Spirit of the Lord is urging me to work along side others HE is drawing together... others who hear the current call of the Spirit of the Lord to 'Feed My Sheep', spirit soul and body in our local community. Thus far, we come from various Christian backgrounds and gather together in numerous ways and different places to offer free meals and offer free community exchanges of goods and services, some of which are donated specifically when the need presents itself. Those who gather with us as led, are being added to daily ... we feed the hungry, clothe the naked, take in and care for those in need, as Father networks, unites and empowers us ... giving us the opportunity to fulfill Jesus urgings to us all to do so ... such an urging is written of in Matthew 25:31-40. We recently bought the domain name www.FeedMySheepGlobalOutreach.com and hope to gather and publish testimonies of the goodness of the Lord there when it is up and running.

In the meantime it is being linked to www.EnterIntoGodsRest.com with a short testimony of what is taking place in our local community, by way of encouragement, with a sample flyer.... (near bottom of web site) We hope it is indeed the Lord's will for others to be drawn to read and link to www.FeedMySheepGlobalOutreach.com ... and it will be a place where the public will desire to go to read 'good news' and find informative links that will help them to find HIS truth, and grow through the power of HIS having gathered us, united as ONE body.... who follows HIS Spirit... in Spirit and in truth! Such... seems to be one of the ways His Spirit is removing the walls which have sprung up between those who call themselves by His name.... as HE causes us to become mature sons and daughters of 'the most high' ... glorifying our Father, through the witness of HIS family of love and truth. Bless You Father... for such as this....

It is my belief that which is currently taking place spiritually world wide is a partial fulfillment of an encouraging vision which I received and hope will witness to others:

In 1998, while going about what had become for me a normal day... The Holy Spirit having made me aware of Father God's Presence always with me communing, orchestrating my days with continual miracles, fulfilling earlier promises of complete restoration .... thanking Him as He revealed His mind and heart to me ... still in awe of just how very much HE is continuously manifesting His Spirit in each of us and our daily lives.... I was filled with even more love, joy, peace and faith than I lived in only a moment before. Greatly desiring this for all mankind... for His sake as well as ours... I was given awareness... an inner vision... of two hearts knit together as one through a mutual love......... The love of a father for His children...The love of a lover and His bride.... love meant to increase for each other and for their spiritual offspring as well. The Spirit of love... which originated through the Spirit of God Who is love... a love which was imparted and returned 100 fold on multiple dimensions .... as perfected.

The two hearts of love suddenly became a door through which people would walk ... and I was standing before it in what I discerned to be a living vision. I was drawn through the doors... at first I was aware I was alone... in the midst of a great energy of light... which I knew to be Father God's loving Presence... gradually I became aware there were others coming in too... aware He had drawn each of us. We were delighted... and surprised... yet not surprised to see so very many who loved Almighty God with all our hearts gathering together for a divine purpose not yet completely revealed. We were all under a spiritual dome filled with light and divine energy ... HIS Holy Essence ... a universal dome not like any man has ever created or could... it appeared to be immeasurable once inside. Upon entering in... each person found themselves drawn on... as if by an unseen force to meet who they had been brought there to meet... hear or see... speak to... give to or receive from... for a purpose the Spirit of God Himself had predetermined at the foundations of the world.

Every possible scenario was taking place... for HE had gone before us and directed our steps and had ordained the moments we were experiencing. As the number of people grew I became aware of a repeated pattern of different people being divinely networked together... some were worshipping... or praying... in pockets of small or larger groups, or alone... those who were alone eventually found themselves drawn to another and their hearts were instantly knit through His love and faith within... eventually forming another group. Some people were gathered around a person speaking.... listening intently... some were speaking as a group each having something to add for the benefit of the whole.... no one person stood out among them.... all could recognize the Holy Spirit of the resurrected Christ within the other. Some were simply meeting for the first time and seeing the Spirit of God's coincidences in their lives, as their hearts were knit and their faith increased... as an ever increasing awareness of HIS power and promises fulfilled, was manifested. These it seemed either had a need or a gift... and both recognized this is the person... or people God wanted to use to bring His vision... call ... further His divine purpose for their lives or another's... into Being. An understanding was given that One's call ... purpose would not be fulfilled without the other having divinely met according to His eternal plan and timing.... and they each recognized they were each only a small piece of a divine eternal plan.... of the Spirit of the resurrected Christ living on through them and others of a like mind. No one man was elevated above another, usurping the role of God in another's lives or mind... all recognized the uniqueness of their role and the role of another, through the Spirit of Christ within empowering them. Some had excesses, talents they were offering ... aware freely they had received and freely they gave ... as the Spirit of God revealed the need they could... would fulfill.... or in some cases confirmed why they had brought what they were led to bring, as they stepped out in faith, with an awareness the Spirit of their creator had gone before them making the way. Miracles abounded as Father made His Presence and will known... filling needs, empowering all according to the unfolding of His eternal plan and necessary timing.

I was acutely aware God's Spirit had done this... we were His people... His universal church... and this spiritual dome only represented what He was already doing all over the universe, only many were unaware of the magnitude due to not yet having been given eternal spiritual eyes to see. I knew we would all become aware of the Spirit of the Lord in our daily lives more and more through the divine coincidences Father would manifest. I saw the universal spiritual synchronicity He would continue to bring about.... to reveal His will and love to us in ways man as a whole has not known... experienced personally to such a degree before. I knew we His people.... His family were of one Spirit, through the resurrected Spirit of Jesus our brother... whether we recognized it or not... and the time would soon come when we would each experience His Presence everywhere and in the lives of all of us... in all of life... Father having redeemed all for our present ... we recognizing His will being revealed in ways some had not previously recognized.... nor yet experienced... or had previously considered to be not according to their understanding 'of God'... having unconsciously judged through their natural understanding, thinking and cultural preconditioning... and not through the Spirit of Father's love and truth and universal consciousness. I recognized through the Spirit of Christ Father had overcome and eternally redeemed all for us and Himself... at the foundations of the world... and He was exponentially bringing His will into Being according to His eternal plan and timing.... as I received His blessings ... recognizing further... my unity with Him and His Own... a work HE was revealing to me in my present eternal moment.... He having made me aware, as His offspring, I am an eternal Spiritual Being, one of many.

After receiving this awareness in the form of a living vision... I began singing in the Spirit and instantly found myself standing in God's Presence at another place. I was aware I was in an eternal sacred place and eternal moment... His great light and Essence was all around. It encompassed all... and I was not alone. You were all with me... we were eternal spiritual Beings... and I sensed We were all gathered together worshipping through the Spirit of the Lord in unison, aware of His completed work as one body ... on the last day...mystically speaking. A day when all of God's creation knew and experienced Father's love and truth as their own, with a depth of spiritual understanding not known until then. We all had the same spiritual understanding... we had the resurrected mind and life of Christ alive within opening us to that which was eternally ours. We were one... and everyone who ever existed knew truth through the resurrected Spirit of Jesus Christ... all knew and were experiencing the unconditional love of our Father... who created us for this eternal moment... and more... joy, peace... spiritual revelations, wisdom and understanding and a love inexpressible with words alone ... filled our hearts and souls. Our Spirits were blessing our Father with our love in return ... with our entire Being filled with gratitude, hope and understanding fulfilled ... great joy and peace filled us ... words alone cannot express the whole of that which was transpiring.

Suddenly I saw my body... as if through an opening in a spiritual window... down on earth... standing arms lifted in praise... singing through His Spirit alive within ... filled with love and wonder and more. An awareness entered my mind... "Oh My God... I'm going to fall down under Your power... and there is no one to catch me." Suddenly I was back in my body. At first I was angry at myself... for getting my eyes off of the Spirit of God and onto myself... thinking this had caused the experience to end... the anger and disappointment left as I heard: "Do not deceive yourself, it was I Who did that, not you. Always remember... I Am the creator and perfecter of each of your faith ... of your lives ... rest in My love, the truth of the goodness of My unfolding plan ….. the faith I have given you, as you continue to follow after My Spirit of love, truth and holiness ... as you continue to commune with Me and I with you." www.EnterRest.com
