~ As is my custom as each new year approaches... I ask Father... "what are your plans for the future?" Just before the decade of the 1990's... in response to this question while in the middle of two 40 day liquid fasts, I began to receive this vision of the future of the church. It came through words I heard from deep within... scenes in my minds eye... and impressions I received... as the Spirit of God spoke to my heart.... that our hearts might become one. It came in the language of the Spirit... a language Jesus used and continues to use in my life... which for me is highly symbolic. May I suggest that you ask the Holy Spirit to give you Father's interpretation of it... as well as His spiritual discernment before you read on... if it is not your habit to do so already? That which you are about to read must be spiritually discerned.... for some it may explain what has taken place already ... or what is taking place... or soon will. Bless You Father for ears to hear... eyes to see... a heart to receive and the mind of Christ that we might understand and perceive through Your eternal Spirit. ~
While in prayer... theSpirit of the Lord gave me a vision of a Holy temple... fully destroyed, except for the foundation. The foundation that was left standing was the chief cornerstone... which I understood represented Jesus Christ and God's messages which came through Him. The rest of the stones which were left... was that which Almighty God had placed... through inspiring His Prophets and Apostles of old and through the outpourings of His Spirit since.
I was aware a spiritual tidal wave had come in... and wiped everything else out... as far as the eye could see... so that all which remained was God's work and not mans. I knew the temple represented the Spirit of Christ residing in the Bride of Christ... each individual believer. I was aware God Himself had swept His hand over His Holy Temple... His church... and in doing so... had knocked down that which was not in Christ's image.... but was a work of the flesh inspired by vain imaginations and inherited traditions, rooted in fear... legalistic teachings and not His love.
I was given understanding... the church as it was known at that time... would no longer exist in the future. Father was unfolding His eternal plan for her... and she was about to go through a season of weakness... even a sense of powerlessness for some, a time of fiery trials for many... so she might be emptied out to receive that which was coming... an outpouring of His Spirit far greater than man has known to date.
The Holy Spirit brought to remembrance... the time of Nehemiah... where the walls of the temple had been torn down due to idolatry... and were mere rubble... and I thought of Nehemiah having to access the damage... before the temple was to be rebuilt. I said... "Lord, the only protection we have from the enemy of our Soul is You." ... I understood, this was His intention.
It was then I heard: "The time has come for the Spirit of the Lord Himself to fill His Holy Temple ... His Bride ... that she might become one with her Bridegroom through their union. Judgment has come against her 'body'... to purify and transform her through fire. The season for her to grow as an adult has come... she is to put away childish things, of which many have become idols and hinder her growth.
No longer do I want to hear her cry out 'we need to get back to the way the early church was'... that was her infancy.. and those who have come before her are becoming idols in her eyes.... It is time for her to grow and become mature as the Bride of Christ, adorned for her husband. It became clear through the Spirit of God within me... that the ways we've seen things done in the past are over... for they are limited, compared to that which HE alone would bring into being. I understood HE would be bringing forth a new breed of Apostles and Prophets... for His purpose alone. I knew when those called to their roles were sent forth... after having gone through a time of consecrations and transformation... alone with HIM... it would not be in the ways we think... or have become use to. Even the mark of the Apostles and Prophets... signs and wonders and miracles... had not yet been conceptualized in the mind of man. Our limited concept of their office... their call... their function... will be changed ... such prevents a work of the flesh from arising in man's efforts to duplicate that which HE alone can bring into being.
In order for this to be brought about... His Bride was being called, like Nehemiah to look at the rubble before her... and to assess the damage and to pray and abide in His love... remembering His promises... which would bring her into HIS manifest Presence.
It was then... through His Spirit... I remembered Adam and Eve in the garden. I came to understand... through the nature of the fall... they and their descendants had built their own temple... which was tainted with fleshly understanding.... the nature of man. I was aware... that through the generations since Christ... His Bride had gone through a fleshy, so to speak, stage of building the temple... by faith.... she had done that which she thought she was supposed to do... with an earnest heart.
Through His love for her... God's Spirit had come... and by His Spirit HE was returning her to His enclosed garden. I saw she had been brought to maturity and was ready to be given to her Bridegroom that they might become one.
He showed me the garden she had been taken from... it was polluted. I asked, "Why is her garden polluted?"
He replied, "Her garden had been a public garden... exposed for all to come through. She has chosen to abide there... that others may partake of the work of her hands... rather than abiding in My garden that we may drink of living waters and flow together."
It was then I saw a great 'body' of people crying to the Lord for forgiveness for the sins of the world... abortion, drugs, porno and the like. This body was running to and fro... carrying many issues... making demands... pointing fingers... and commanding: "Keep God's Laws".
Grieved... Father spoke and said: "She has forgotten from where she came... she was saved through My grace. She has forgotten, I and I alone give her power to keep My law. How can she expect others to do that which she can only do through the grace of My Spirit awakened within her? She has forgotten only My Holy Spirit can convict someone of their sin and of My love. She has forgotten she is to preach the good news of the gospel of the Kingdom. She has forgotten, she is to allow me to raise up My standard through her lifestyle of my living through her as she dies to the old... that she might find a new life hid in Christ, through our union. As she does... those who are lost will see and be drawn to My love. She has forgotten she was created to walk in My love."
I saw deep within my Spirit... this 'body' was not yet fully separate from the flesh nature... from the world's way of thinking and being, as He said to me, "I hear many who cry from among them... repeatedly begging me: 'Lord, we've humbled ourselves and repented... Heal our land!' Yet some who cry out... are not repenting for their own sin... but for the sins of the world... of those they see as separate from themselves, they are afraid My judgment will come upon them... because of the sins of another.... they do not yet know Me in my fullness. Did I not protect my people in the land of Goshen when my judgments exposed the false God's of Egypt? Because this body cannot see... their own sin... I am exposing sin among their own.... through their leaders, for judgment begins in the household of God.... and if I do not bring in My light... the blind will continue to lead the blind. Come out from among them lest you become one with their sin."
Suddenly, His Spirit burned within me a greater awareness of... His desires to heal our land... our private lives... a greater awareness of His work which had already begun and would come to fruition through the ways He knew were best... ways we might not understand, but ways we could trust He would work out for the good in the end.
It was then I became aware of the sins of many... rooted in unbelief... which resulted in lies... abuse... perversion... hate... death... fear and other dark deeds of the heart and I heard the Lord say: "I have turned them over to their own will... to a reprobate mind, that they might come to the end of themselves and choose life and it more abundantly through Christ. I do not desire the generation of those who would remain in darkness... and inner turmoil to prosper in their present state. Do they not have a choice... is not my law written within their hearts... within their conscience... that they might discern good from evil? Can they not return to ME and My ways... and repent whenever they are convicted by My love... of the grace I offer them? When they do... My Bride must be ready... she must be a city of refuge... a city set upon My Holy Mountain for all to see my indwelling Presence... as I draw them back to Me and nurture and love them through my Bride."
The scene changed and in my spirit I saw His Bride was then brought to an enclosed garden... an abiding place, where she was separated... to become alone with her Bridegroom... so their love might grow... and transform her... and others through their union.
As she entered the garden prepared for her... I saw the Angel of the Lord standing there... guarding the entrance... with a fiery sword in hand. He smiled... and presented it to her.. and said: "Now the two shall become as one."
This garden instantly changed into a bridal chamber... it became a garden of life... where spiritual children would come forth through her time alone in intimacy with her spouse.... as they supped together on the food HE had prepared for her.
When the scene changed before me... I became one with her in the spirit realm and I knew her heart; Upon entering... and taking sword in hand... she was impressed immediately how much she was not one with her bridegroom. In her passion to give Him her whole self she was grieved that she had not received more of Him in return.... So much love yet to be given... she thought. She had spent years with Him... yet... they were not as a couple who through years of intimately knowing one another knew the others next thought and intent, without having to ask. She had become aware of her need for their love to grow and mature.... through a deeper union. She recognized her love had been based upon feelings of excitement and delight in discovering His love... and all it offered... yet her sorrow quickly changed to joy and she understood... she had been brought to this place of abiding in HIS eternal love... by Him... and no matter what happened, all would be well with her Soul, for this had been a part of His plan all along.
She cried out, "If it pleases You my love... awaken our love anew... stir up our love my Lord... that the two of us shall surely walk as ONE through our union."
Immediately, I saw Him building His Holy Temple ... The Lord God Almighty and the Lamb as His Temple ... it soon became her abiding place of rest... His secret place of eternal light and love for her.
She was resting in His love... it had been His only requirement.
By His abilities... and His grace alone.. she would watch HIM build the temple, with complete trust... as only HE and HE alone knew it was to be done. Then truly... when the capstone was finally set in place... she would shout, "Grace! Grace!", for indeed with grace and grace alone it would be accomplished through the two having become ONE.
Next, I became aware... God Himself was raising up Apostles and Prophets... who would be going forth with His unlimited power... called like John the Baptist... and Elijah... as witnesses to His own.... and those who would respond to His love... calling for repentance... and openness... "The Kingdom of God has come... it is here among you... destroy your idols... open your Spirits to His love anew... a double portion anointing has been released... the early rains and the latter rains have arrived together. Receive that which His Spirit offers you... look no longer to man... Receive from His Spirit awakened within you."
It was then I understood His Bride... would answer His call to come away... so she could be alone with Him... that she would receive from His Spirit directly, no longer putting her trust in a man or man's system.
Through the uniting of their hearts... she would accept and embrace those who are lost... as seeds within the womb of life... yet to be brought forth... in His timing.... through His ways... birthed through love and a deep peace from within.
I knew... and understood.... Christ Himself... would be Lord with His Bride at His side... through their Spiritual union... for His Spirit had brought her to the place of wanting it so, through love... www.EnterRest.com

Here is another comment for your consideration before the Spirit of the Lord, It is an Angelic Visitation HE gave me...
I was terribly depressed one afternoon during the late 70’s; I was around the age of thirty. The cumulative affect of the negative realities of my life, present and past were overwhelming me; even in the midst of working with God's Spirit as He dealt with internal issues, enabling me to make healthier choices and to be healed within. While lying on the couch crying it occurred to me, giving into self pity and a victim mentality was not a healthy choice. Feeding such attitudes would only plant seeds of future oppression and serve to keep me bound to my lower nature. Rather than indulging in such, I chose to pour out my heart to Father God through my wonderings as to why my life was as it was, and my part in relationship to it all. I needed His understanding and peace within, to carry me through.
Would I ever reap the positive side of my new choices I wondered as I cried out... with a heart similar to the following words, tears still flowing, "Father, it is written, 'In righteousness shall I be established. I shall be far from oppression; for I shall not fear, and from terror; for it shall not come near me. You are my weapon of righteousness’. You tell me to ‘trust You with all my heart and to lean not to my own understanding. To acknowledge You in all my ways’ with the promise ‘You will direct my paths… and teach me Your ways.' I am choosing to listen and obey, and I try hard to apply that which I am learning daily, aware ‘I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, and You will work all things out for the good’. Thank You for Your anointing Jesus. I can see You are indeed directing my paths Father, going before me, yet my life feels oppressive and fearful sometimes as I listen for Your voice and follow Your teachings Jesus. Am I fooling myself? Do I understand wrong? Am I stupid? Where am I still off still? What am I still blind to? Is Satan deceiving me? Am I giving him power unaware, bringing a curse on myself and my family, if so I renounce and rebuke Satan once again, in Jesus’ name! Why is there so much oppression in our life still? Why is this all happening?’ ‘I do appreciate the prayers you’ve answered already… very much. Am I trying to rush things? Do I need patience? Are my expectations off? I admit... in recent days my life has changed for the better, especially who I am inside, but last evening was pretty terrifying. Even though I understand alcoholism is a disease, learning to deal with someone abusive when they are drunk … and even when they are sober, is hard! Thank You for Your strength, wisdom and words as I am ever so slowly it seems, becoming aware of my tendency to enable and give my power away, especially when others are attempting to control me… with their anger or manipulate me in other ways. Thank You for teaching me… and helping me to see the difference between what is my responsibility and another’s… for giving me the discernment of knowing when false guilt rather than love … even tough love when necessary is motivating me. Help me to love in healthy ways, please!!! Holy Spirit, please keep pointing out the old tapes when they are running in my head, or coming out of my mouth. Bless You for convicting me when it’s my fault and empowering me to admit it, and work on myself, rather than blaming others for my own junk. Father, I had no idea how sick my thinking has been… and still is in many ways. Please keep healing me… thank You for ‘meeting all our needs according to Your riches in glory’. I know I am getting better and I do not have to understand, that I am not to lean to my own understanding, but acknowledge You in all my ways... and I try to do so, daily but I would like to understand, from Your perspective if that be Your will.....' I continued praying in such a way until I fell asleep.
The phone ringing over on the top of our old player piano woke me up. I jumped up startled...
Standing over me was an extremely tall figure... It looked to be solid, but I walked right through it in my effort to get to the phone. As I did so, everything seemed to be happening in slow motion. It was as if time did not exist and I was seeing into a spiritual realm, and in the doing was able to see an angel. I remember saying, "Ohhhhh myyyyy Godddd!"
I was shocked, and in awe… but unafraid.
When I stepped into this figure, I felt its essence. Although it said nothing, I knew it to be an Angel sent by God. "The Angel of the Lord!" Love and peace which surpasses understanding began filling my soul anew, healing me from within.
I cannot describe the clothing it wore in human terms for I have never seen any garb like it before or since. I knew it to be a warrior's attire of some sort, through an inner knowing. Its Presence guarding me filled me with an ever increasing awareness all is working out for the good as God promised. I perceived through my union with God, He is fighting in my behalf.... as we stand together in Spirit and in truth, united through the faith He gives me to bring me through.
Immediately Father God's Spirit spoke to me. It was as if we were of one mind. I was given an instant awareness that fiery trials of faith... life's tribulations could both destroy our character and build it... and in some cases rebuild it. I realized... the inner transformations which took place through such events walked through with an awareness of the Spirit of God along side, and within, were a necessary part of spiritual development.... they were a spiritual gift. I understood everything which had happened, and would happen, was common to man... but in my case, I was told the spiritual ways and means of the workings out of such would someday become stories I would share with others, by way of encouragement, spiritual insight and awakening of faith. This has proven to be true.
I cannot say whether the Angel was male or female. It did not seem to be either... just complete ... nor did it matter. The emphasis was not on the Angel but on Fathers actions in our life and Who He is as our loving comforter and deliverer. This experience I was being given was one of knowing Angels are indeed with us... they come as messengers of love and bring His peace through representing and standing for His truth, made manifest through the life of Jesus and those who follow His teachings. I understood Angel's did not have a desire to be worshipped ... its desire was that we know of and trust our heavenly Father's intentions towards us as His family to be loving and devote ourselves to Him, and HIM alone.

I sense I am to post this now... as 2008 and beyond will manifest and give witness to this double vision in greater fullness:
In 1998, while going about my normal day... aware of Father God's Presence always comuning with me through our union... orchestrating our days... fulfilling that which He promised.... through the New Covenant He made with us... I was thanking Him as He revealed His mind and heart to me in the moment ... I was 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 an 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 is 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 brilliant 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 their hearts gathering together for a divine purpose not yet completely revealed. We were all under a spiritual dome filled with light and His power of 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. I came to recognize this later, as His eternal plan unfolding... manifesting His sovereign will to His body through a spirit of unity and power.
As I observed through His eyes of eternity... I could see every possible scenario 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 all having something to add for the benefit of the whole.... no one person stood out among them.... all could recognize the Holy Spirit of 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 them according to His eternal plan and timing.... and they each recognized they were each only a small piece of a divine eternal plan.... the plan of the spirit of the resurrected Christ living on through them and others of a like mind... with an awareness we are a manifestation of the body of Christ... living in HIS Kingdom on earth in our now, bringing His light into great darkness. 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 necessity of the role of another, through the Spirit of Christ within empowering them. Some had abundance, talents, gifts they were offering ... aware freely they had received and freely they gave ... as 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 the Lord 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 world, only many were unaware of the magnitude due to not yet having been given His eternal spiritual eyes to see through. I knew we would all become aware of Him in our daily lives more and more through the divine sovereign coincidences He 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 miraculous degree before. I knew we His people.... His family were one, through Jesus our brother... whether we recognized it or not... and the time would soon come when we would each see the power of His resurrected Spirit everywhere and in the lives of all of us... in all of life... He having redeemed all for our now ... we recognizing His will being revealed in ways some had not previously recognized.... nor yet experienced... or had previously considered to be not 'of God'... having unconsciously judged through their natural understanding, limited 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 who is living in His Kingdom now... as His Kingdom is within... and in our midst now and is being established on the earth now ... I sensed this was an aspect of the promise He had given me earlier, that in my lifetime I would see the coming together of the body of Christ and the coming down of the walls of denominationalism which separated them. This would take place through the power of HIS spirit of unity and love... which would be made evident in due season... I understood this was a promise I was to receive by faith and was led to stand in faith for it's fulfillment according to HIS timing and unfolding of it.
After receiving the above awareness in the form of a living vision... I found myself 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 aware as one we are eternal spiritual Beings... and I sensed we were all gathered together worshipping the Spirit of the Lord in unison, aware of His completed work as one body... on the last day... so to speak. 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... having been reconciled to God through the Covenant He made with us through Christ. We were one... and everyone who ever existed knew truth through 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... understanding and a love inexpressible with words alone... filled our hearts and souls. With Jesus... through Jesus... as overcomers we were blessing our Father with our love in return ... with our entire being filled with gratitude and hope 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 Holy Spirit of love and truth ... filled with love... truth.... 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 the Lord 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, My unfolding plan and the faith I have given you, as you continue to follow after My spirit of love and truth... as you continue to commune with Me and I with you." www.EnterRest.com |

 I will check it out soon... found a link where, if I understand correctly, we can read in on line for free:
http://www.boisecentral.org/books.shtml
I am blessed when I discover those who offer that which HE offers through them, for free on line or in book form... as well the opportunity to purchase a hard copy.... whereby helping to support their endeavors to get the messages out... in other ways as well. It takes a lot of time, money and energy to write and publicize one's publications.

I was soon to be a new mom again... it was Mothers Day 1979... in the evening of what had been a fun packed day. I was in bed for the night, just beginning to pray.
"Oh my God!" I said, shocked and grieved by an awareness of my actions. "I am so sorry Father... I haven't talked with You yet today!!! That is not normal for me! Please forgive me, I really didn't mean to ignore You. I always begin and end my day with You and Jesus, and speak to You throughout it, how could this have happened? How could I have not included YOU in my day?" I could come up with no explanation.
Even so, I continued with immense love, joy and thankfulness in my heart, "It's been a exceptional day... thank You for this experience. I am so grateful for the gift of being a mom and a mom to be. I feel so loved and appreciated by our children. Thank You for our children, I love them so much, they are so very important to me. Thank You and thank You too Jesus for Who You are in my life as well. Father please....." and began to cry out for those in my life were did not yet have an personal, intimate relationship with Him... especially those who were trapped by Satan's snare.... and those who loved darkness rather than light. The heart of my message would have thanked Almighty God for breaking through the darkness with His light... and setting us free from sin... evil... all which once separated us from the unconditional love of God... renounced the works of the flesh which originated through my unredeemed nature and not through Father's leading. I acknowledged I rebuked Satan by turning from him towards God... and told Satan to leave me alone as I thanked the Spirit of the Lord for setting me free... released what I was convicted of... thanked Him for pouring out His spirit on all flesh at Pentecost... thanked Him for continuinig to set us all free, so we might become who HE created us to Be... as His creation... His spiritual family. Blessed Him for it... received the answer by faith in the name of the gospel of Father God and Jesus Christ.
Suddenly I was at Calvary...
Whether I was in my body or out of my body, I did not know, it didn't seem to matter. I did know, this was happening to me.... and it was unexpected.
Instantly I was aware... I was one with Jesus... we were hanging on the cross... in time and eternity. Pure love poured out of Him. Love for His ... our heavenly Father... love for mankind... love for....
He was looking down. I was seeing through His eyes, feeling some of His intense emotions, receiving some of His understanding and revelation knowledge, even though words were never spoken. Although there were many gathered there, they no longer seemed to matter at that moment in time and eternity ... His focus was on His Mother... Mary.
She was looking up... searching for the eyes of her son. I sensed her torment fade.... as their eyes met in this moment I was given the privilege of experiencing. I seemed to be sensing everything flowing through Him.
I am sure Mary was comforting and being comforted by those in grief and confusion around her.... their pain mixed with her own ... for I knew such was nothing compared to the affection and diverse emotions and understanding linking her with Jesus... as she watched Him hanging there, marred beyond belief. Tears on her face were marked by dirt from the dusty road she had walked upon, as she had followed the road to Calvary with Jesus... and others... some of whom were still gathered there, with various emotions of their own.
Although Jesus' flesh was tortured by pain... this pain was nothing compared to what they were experiencing within as their humanity touched. It seemed to ease somewhat as a Spiritual depth of understanding passed between them, an exchange words... mere words cannot describe.
Love for our heavenly Father and one another, HIS love for us... made their aching hearts easier to bear. Jesus understood all... was going to work out for the good and what was... must be. His inner strength flooded me as it seemed to pass on to her.
I with Jesus experienced their affection, their pain... their silent agreement as He communed with her. Their ... our hearts... minds united in time and eternity. Will I ever be able to describe the magnitude of emotion and revelation exchanged? ... I can say, it began with a mutual trust in the goodness of our heavenly Father and HIS eternal plan for HIS creation, HIS Spiritual Family, us ... it began through a united love in Who HE is and was to them ...and is now to us... through the Spiritual Life He ... HE offers ... HE imparts.
They shared this consciousness... of Father's eternal plan for HIS creation. A Spiritual connection and bond, neither suffering, sin nor death could break. A Spiritual connection His death and restored life was destined to offer others.... has offered me... all of us.
The endless love and gratitude in His heart... towards His Mother, for her willingness to surrender to Father's absolute will, Father's destiny for them both, for us all.... overwhelmed me. I realized His gift to each of us... of His bearing the consequences of sin and death through love... on a far, far deeper level within my Spirit, than I could have ever imagined or can attempt to express, even now.
As quickly as I had been taken, I returned ... instantly I found myself once again in my bed, my own face wet with tears... my eternal Soul ... Spirit changed forever.
I heard, "You have asked ME if Mary is to be worshipped as it is taught by some. Though she is not to be worshipped, she is indeed to be honored. All who choose to surrender to MY will ... will be honored by ME. Such are worthy of MY Name." www.EnterRest.com |

8:3 Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and (Spiritual Jerusalem is a term used for believers today) Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain. hosts.
Excerpt from my website www.EnterIntoGodsRest.com of a vision I received where the spirit of the Lord brought me into the City of Truth. Current update follows:
During 1982-1986, through an answer to prayer... I was led to various groups of people, as well as individuals… who called themselves Apostles… Prophets and Messianic Jews, because they has accepted Jesus as their Messiah. On one particular occasion in 1986, we had gathered together and we were all singings songs of adoration to God... during a worship service.
A few years before this… I told Father I am not going to believe everything I heard about Jesus just because everyone tells me I should... I wanted to know from HIM why the Jews denied Jesus and wondered about all of the other religions in the world. Shortly after, God’s Spirit opened up the Old Testament to me, causing me to understand… how Jesus was foreshadowed throughout the entire Old Testament… as the Hebrew Messiah. He gave me the understanding the Arabs were descendant of Ishmael and revealed to me the prophecies regarding both Nations and their descendants, natural and spiritual. I was given the understanding… God in His wisdom had blinded the eyes of the Hebrew religious leaders during Jesus’ day… so they might not recognize their Messiah. This was done, so those outside of Judaism…. Gentiles… could come to know of God’s new covenant with man… through the events, which would follow…. the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ Jesus. I was made aware… a time would arrive when the time of the Gentiles would draw to a close… and God’s Spirit would open the eyes of the Hebrew people once again… that they might receive Jesus … Yesuah … as their promised Messiah. Historical events… were indicating this season of transition had begun. Messianic Churches were beginning to spring up all over the world… and many converts were being brought across my path. From what I was beginning to see… since around 1948, Jews were starting to return to their homeland from around the world as well and things were beginning to intensify once again between the descendants of Abraham.
I felt honored to gather with these converts and religious leaders during this worship service…. as they taught me how to celebrate their feasts…. a foreshadow which the life of Jesus fulfilled… first hand. I considered it to be a privilege… to be invited to join with them in their established traditions and I was keeping them the best I knew how as I submitted to their spiritual authority…. believing it was God’s will that I do so.
As I sang with them... eyes closed, I shut myself off from all distractions... and as is my habit... began meditating on the words I was singing having taken them to heart…. expressing them with love… to God .... to Who He had revealed HimSelf to be to me up until then.
Without warning, I found myself standing before a magnificent wall... whether I was in the body or out of the body, I do not know. This wall was taller than any ancient ruin in height… the wall in the movie King Kong comes to mind and it does not even begin to describe the height of this wall I found myself standing in front of. Compared to the stature of a man, it was enormous. I heard a voice speak, 'Enter into the City of Truth'... and I agreed to do so, fully 'expecting' to see a door, which I could not find, open up mysteriously.
Instead, I was astonished, to find myself looking at the stones of a foundation. I knew I was looking at the foundations of the temple of God… which man had build. The founding stones were built upon the teachings of and about Jesus Christ.... and early prophets, apostles and later disciples, which had been passed down since days of old... to the present day. As He showed it to me... I was given much understanding. I understood I had been worshipping there. Details stood out to me ... there were stones missing... some were cockeyed... some were out of place... some should not have been there at all... yet many were firmly rooted and established by His Spirit alone, Jesus Christ being represented by the chief corner stone. I understood the time had come for God alone to build the temple I was to worship in and He would not need my help… but before He could do so… He would have to destroy this one.
Again I heard, "Enter into the City of Truth". Instantly I understood.... if I did so, I would be going through a dark night of my soul and spiritual senses. I knew if I chose to accept this invitation, I would go through a time of great trials and tribulations, that I might come to the end of lies which ruled my thinking and tainted the truths HE desired to speak with me about, through His Spirit of Truth. I understood, much of what I had learned in the past… needed to be unlearned… because it was contaminated, through vain inherited traditions and historical tampering with the words of the Lord, which had been passed along with His truth. I knew the time would come when I would not know what to believe and then, He would restore all... that I might walk in a 'double portion anointing'. This double portion anointing was a power He had spoken to me of on numerous occasions, which would be necessary for that which was to come… during a supernatural spiritual outpouring greater than man has known to date... worldwide at a future date. I could only imagine how this would manifest itself... even so, I agreed to enter in… supposing it would not take that long. I was wrong *smile Once again I found myself standing before this majestic wall... immediately I heard for the third time, "Enter into the City of Truth".
Again... I agreed to do so... fully expecting a door to open. Instead... I watched in amazement... as a hand larger than what our natural mind could comprehend, reached down and picked me up. I saw myself in the palm of this hand… a perfect fit. I marveled as I realized I was a naked baby and God Himself was bringing me in.
Unexpectedly I found myself back where I had begun worshipping God... having been tapped on the shoulder... that I might take communion, and was offered bread and wine... as part of the worship service I was attending. With a greater awareness, I understood this offering of communion was only an acting out of a much higher spiritual truth... a true communion in the spirit… which could be done anytime and any place… when one chose to be alone with Him for a time of intimacy. I was grieved that I could not have stayed longer and seen the City. Then I understood, He had brought me in... and He alone will keep me there, through His ways, in His timing, according to His plan for my life. I only needed to be willing to come… leaving all else behind!
As He brought me into the city of truth... through circumstances of my daily life after this, He has revealed to me how powerless the arm of the flesh is to save... and attain audience with Him for fleshly or religious purposes.... such only offers spiritual famine or a false concept. He has shown me why indeed, Jesus needed to die for man... why we must join with Him in that awareness and in the death process... as living sacrifices... in our union with Him in life and death. I have been shown a need for a remnant of people... those HE has called… and ordained to be set apart for a work of sanctification and reconciliation, as living intercessors alone with His Spirit. He has given me a taste and a deeper understanding of a depth of His love I never knew existed and would have been unable to contain when I first began this spiritual journey of faith, due to my carnal limitations. Experientially, He has caused me to know… truly, when one is forgiven much... they indeed love much. He has caused me to experience... His unconditional love and mighty power to save through ways not previously concieved, He would take me… as He has taught me to trust Him completely... through the gift of surrender and obedience. As I have continued to grow and mature spiritually, to become the person I was created to be in Christ, through His power to keep me... He has given me the privilege of seeing my perverted heart... my ego… with no condemnation. He has also caused me to begin to see who He has created me to Be instead... without pride… as I gradually find myself becoming hid in Christ, through Father God…. a mystery revealed.
After this experience I came across a scripture which spoke of the city of truth: Zechariah 8:3; 3 This is what the LORD says: "I will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD Almighty will be called the Holy Mountain."
(believers are often referred to as spiritual Jerusalem)
If I may keep you just a bit longer... may I offer one more word… for encouragement purposes? During one of my times alone with him, in later years, I heard a voice deep within say.... "Close your eyes..." I did. Then I heard, "I am describing to you, a house, a tree, and a horse. Now, if you were born blind... do you think you would have seen the true image or only a concept of what you imagine them to be?" I said, a concept....
The voice continued.... "Due to the flesh nature, man is born blind to spiritual truths... until I open their eyes through My Spirit. The Kingdom of God is not like anything man has yet imagined for they have not yet conceived that which I alone can reveal. Let go of ALL of your concepts, your perspectives... ALL vain imaginations... and traditional thinking, as you identify with my Son at Calvary and beyond... that I might reveal to you My simple truth... and My Kingdom, it is not how you first perceived it to Be. Continually let go… and be transformed."
This reminded me once again of something He had told me in earlier days… ‘In order for me to come to a place of deeper understanding… I needed to lay down that which filled my hands already, so I could be given something new, or I would be in danger of creating a false God and momentarily loosing sight of Him, following after that which is a distorted image.” Having experienced all of this… He has caused me to understand… if I truly desire to continue to grow through His Spirit, I must put away childish ideas... and youthful treasures…. because His Spirit within is calling me to grow with a greater awareness than when I first began.

Here is an update ... what has taken place since the above vision:
It has become my understanding that when we are born from above.... we become new creations in Christ... our entire nature changes through having received HIS Spirit... His word of truth ... our desires change with the nature change ... and thus the war between the flesh and the spirit within us intensifies.... this is something to rejoice about, and not something to despair over. Seeing and experiencing the carnal nature reveals to us the nature Christ died to set us free from and our need to grow spiritually. Daily we are becoming Overcomers through the power of the indwelling Spirit of the resurrected Christ within us! Our heart is willing but another part of us (our carnal nature) wrestles against His truth and holiness, as it does not want to die to it's own desires and ways (comfort zones) ... The carnal nature does not want to let go of it's control, it's ambitions, surrender it's will to become a new creation in Christ.... it is self centered and selfish by nature... and thus it's first motivation is self preservation... not selflessness, not unconditional love... love of the truth... love for our Father and His son... love of/for that which HE loves.... it is at war with the Spirit of God... .that is why we often find ourselves at war within... we experience a dual nature... and grieve... we do not want to identify with our carnal nature... we want to identify with Christ within. Bless the Lord... Father looks at our heart... (which we cannot see) not our outward man (carnal nature's ways) and raises us in the way we are to go bringing to light that which we can understand at our level of maturity, urging us to let go of the rebellious nature and all of the lies we have seen previously as truth ... HE exposes such through our union with HIS Holy Spirit of truth as we come into HIS fullness and gives us the choice/power to let go... and surrender our will to HIS ... so we can receive what HE offers in it's place... reminding us... Jesus surrendered and trusted in Father's revealed plan... Jesus knew He could not nail HimSelf to the cross... for one hand would always be free.... but by surrendering to our Father's will... HE could trust in the unfolding of HIS plan, in Father's power... for all of His creation (the earth groans and travails for the mature sons and daughters to come forth)... a plan which was established in our behalf at the foundations of the world... a plan, He knows through His wisdom is necessary so we can receive eternal life... redemption, reconciliation, inner transformation, restitution and the like through His life giving/breathing Spirit.
As I grew spiritually under His loving care ... Father gave me further insight that the entire old nature (carnal man) has to die... (actually He revealed to me, I/we died with Christ already according to Romans 6 and need to recogn ourselves dead to the old.. but alive to the new by faith). The good and bad as we judge it to be through the flesh nature, our judgments made by looking at the external, our immaturity, wisdom, understanding and the like taints His truth and must be released to HIM, because it is a mixture of flesh and spirit ... It is a mixture of what/who we were before we were born of His Holy Spirit and who we are becoming since being born again/anew of His Spirit. We are to die to: preconditioning, limited concepts, misconceptions, preconceptions, fleshly perspectives, carnal truths taught as truth, falsehoods and inherited traditions passed on, distorted perceptions we interpret life through, understanding which is limited and fleshly, presumptions and the like, should's, ought too's, suppose too's, ungodly expectations, selfish desires and motivations ... Our natural way of thinking and being has to be transformed through the renewing of the spirit of our mind with HIS revealed truth and a intimate relationship with HIM one on one... hence this is why it is with MUCH tribulation we enter into the Kingdom of God... (His Kingdom rule rises up from within through our union with the Holy Spirit... who leads us into all truth and .......................... and empowers us to overcome through the Holy Spirit of the indwelling Christ manifesting Father's will to us). This is a process which changes us from glory to glory to glory to glory as each new day dawns... and comes with NO Condemnation, it is something we can rejoice over... as we let patience have her perfect work and draw nigh to our creator through this miraculous gift. Father is in control... and His timing is not ours... so we need not despair but rejoice in the knowing what HE has begun HE will finish... all is His working our will as He wills it, our having heard and surrendered.
We each grow at different rates... and are brought into HIS light according to the unfolding of HIS plan for us as A aspect of His body/bride, a paradox. We need not compare ourselves one to another... for each is a unique aspect of the Spirit of the resurrected Christ... and we all come from a carnal nature.... but we can encourage one another to be who each is created to be in Christ... as we learn to let go together as HIS body/bride... as a member of the family of God.
Fiery trials and tribulations are a spiritual gift.. they expose that which is attempting to rule us and shakes loose, or burns off that which still rules us to some degree, from glory to glory.... as we grow in spirit and truth. We were made Holy and righteous through Christ the moment we were born anew and that is how Father sees us... and are being conformed to the image of Christ as His inheritance through this gift of life eternal... our God/Father is a consuming fire and we are messengers of fire... flames of fire He sends forth for multiple purposes! All according to His unfolding eternal plan. We have nothing to fear... and much to gain, (it is through loosing our life we find it), as we go through these fiery trials ... we can count it ALL as joy... knowing HE goes before us, lives through us having already made the way through love and righteousness. We can rest in the awareness that there is no condemnation because through His Spirit within we have all already been made us victorious and we are walking out our victory daily, even when we think this is not so because another aspect of our carnality has been brought to light, (it was His plan since the foundation of the world and was made evident through the life/death/resurrection of Christ... our brother... the firstborn of the family of God), and through HIS unfolding eternal plan HE brings such to pass in HIS timing and HIS way, with His understanding not ours. (It seems to be... This is one of the reasons we need not judge ourselves or another harshly, discern through His eyes of eternity yes, judge/condemn the flesh ... only if you desire to be judged in return and to the measure you judge another you will be judged.... forgetting there is NOW no more condemnation for those who are In Christ... who are Hid in Christ through God. We are One body.... when you judge His body you judge yourself/Him within you according to fleshly understanding, condemning without mercy ... forgetting the flesh was condemned and redeemed through Christ.)
I sense today, Father urgently desires for us to seek HIM for HIS truth afresh and obey... letting go of what we hold dearly which may not be His present truth only our limited concept of it, depending upon the level of light we have been brought to (remember children grow UP in their understanding, as they mature they leave behind childish ways and thinking and EACH has a unique call IN HIM)... We let go so HE can resurrect HIS truth... spiritual understanding in it's place. We LET GO... when we are given eyes to see and ears to hear that which HE desires to deal with in our present... when we see through HIS eyes of eternity.... HE lays an axe to the root of every ungodly tree (seed) which has been planted before we were born of His Spirit anew...HE is in control... He is faithful to finish the work HE has begun... and HE will present us before His Throne of Grace... spotless... because He promises such.
Today I am led to post a vision I was given while in a worship service. Lord willing this vision (excerpt below) of His calling me to and bringing us into His City of Truth... will speak to those HE intends to do the same for in due season ... thanks for considering it...
Father... Thank You we can see and hear and be open to letting go, moment to moment while receiving all YOU offer in it's stead, from glory to glory... as we take up our cross daily... and follow Your leading. Bless YOU through Your overcoming power rising up from within through our union, we are becoming, without condemnation, who YOU created us to be in Christ as Your Family. Thank YOU we can rejoice with You as we see all aspects of the carnal nature exposed showing us who we are hid in Christ through the works of calvary and who we are becoming by way of contrast through the resurrection which followed. Bless You we are becoming conformed to the image of Christ with the awareness You give 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.
Thanks You for the gift of faith... of life eternal through the eternal Spirit of Your Son ... for Your Kingdom which is established within our soul in our now.... through our union with YOUR Holy Spirit of love, truth and more......... Bless You for translating us OUT of the Kingdom of Darkness into Your glorious Light... Bless You for the assurance... Your light will shine brighter as each new day dawns. Thank You for such as this and so much more... Thank You we can love You with an ever increasing love... not for Who we think You are... but for Who we experience You to Be... through Your abiding Presence.

Right after coming on line in the late 90's, I met Ken Visscher, one of my friends here at mychurch.org. We connected in the Spirit... because independent of one another he and I had received similar messages from the Spirit of the Lord. He too had been called out by our Father, to be separated unto the Spirit of the Lord for a season of purification/harnessing/training... so we could have, in our case 'false religion' removed from us to be replaced with the truth of Jesus and the restorative, regenerative power of the Gospel of God... Who is to be worshipped in Spirit and truth. When I would read the writings Ken was given, they would confirm that which was already alive within... that which I believe the Spirit of the Lord had established in me as Father's truth. On numerous occasions, Ken's writings were used as milestones in my spiritual journey of faith, to encourage me that I had heard from HIM, that I and my hubby were still on the path HE has set before me/us to walk. The other day Ken sent forth the message prophetic below... and I would like to share it here, with a prayer I was inspired to pray after reading it. May you find comfort in and a witness to the truth which lies within it.... as HE connects you to those of HIS choosing, causing us to continue to follow His leadings and unfolding will: "....to join you to a company of those who would obey the Lord fully and who would not do their own will." quoted from Ken's writings below:
The Mystery Of Our Change – The Manifestation
 ....PDF Version
AS READ BY KENNETH B VISSCHER, WINDOWS MEDIA FILE
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. Hebrews 4:12-13 <David's Psalm of praise.> I will extol thee, my God, O king; and I will bless thy name for ever and ever. Every day will I bless thee; and I will praise thy name for ever and ever. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable. One generation shall praise thy works to another, and shall declare thy mighty acts. I will speak of the glorious honour of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous works. And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness. They shall abundantly utter the memory of thy great goodness, and shall sing of thy righteousness. The LORD is gracious, and full of compassion; slow to anger, and of great mercy. The LORD is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. All thy works shall praise thee, O LORD; and thy saints shall bless thee. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom, and talk of thy power; To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. Psalm 145:1-12 All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; nothing twisted or perverse is in them. They are all plain to him who understands, and right to those who find knowledge. Receive my instruction and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold. For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. I, wisdom, dwell with sense, and find out knowledge of discretions. The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil; I hate pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the wicked mouth. Counsel and sound wisdom are mine; I am understanding; I have strength. By me kings reign and princes decree justice. Princes rule by me, and nobles, all the judges of the earth. I love those who love me; and those who seek me early shall find me. Riches and honor are with me; enduring riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and what I give is better than choice silver. I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment; I may cause those who love me to inherit riches; and I will fill their treasuries. Proverbs 8:8-21 MKJV And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. For there shall be no more any vain vision nor flattering divination within the house of Israel. For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass; it shall be no more prolonged: for in your days, O rebellious house, will I say the word, and will perform it, saith the Lord GOD. Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Son of man, behold, they of the house of Israel say, The vision that he seeth is for many days to come, and he prophesieth of the times that are far off. Therefore say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; There shall none of my words be prolonged any more, but the word which I have spoken shall be done, saith the Lord GOD. Ezekiel 12:21-28 But man dies and is cut off; and man expires, and where is he? As the waters fail from the sea, and a river falls away and dries up, so man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more, they shall not awake, nor be awakened out of their sleep. Who will grant that You would hide me in the grave, that You would keep me secret, until Your wrath is past, that You would set me a fixed time and remember me? If a man die, shall he revive? All the days of my warfare I will wait, until my change comes. You shall call, and I will answer You; You shall have a desire to the work of Your hands. Job 14:10-15 Brothers, be imitators together of me, and mark those who walk this way, for you have us for a pattern. (For many are walking, of whom I have told you often and now tell you even weeping, as the enemies of the cross of Christ; whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, those who mind earthly things.) For our citizenship is in Heaven, from which also we are looking for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall change our body of humiliation so that it may be fashioned like His glorious body, according to the working of His power, even to subdue all things to Himself. Philippians 3:17-21 (3 Visions)(1st Vision)“Then the Angel which carried me holding me fast under my arm took me and brought me even to that place in the atmosphere above the earth wherein there was a great war. As I was held there I saw a huge beast with seven heads and ten horns and crowns upon the horns and much blasphemy against the Lord and against His anointed coming forth from this beast which did rage upon the earth. I saw that at this present time one of the heads of this beast was slain and his wound was even unto the death of one of these heads, and to that I saw that this was in current time, that this was even now in the world of men. My heart feared because of this beast and I feared that my feet would be entangled in the beast. Then saw I the captain of the Army of Heaven, even the Lord Jesus Christ upon a white horse and out of Him came forth a sword, the word of God and the purpose of God for this age which slew the beast and caused the beast in its entirety to be taken and slain by the sword which issued forth out of the King of Kings who did come to deliver mankind from the raging of this beast which did utter blasphemy against the things of the Lord and the name of the Lord in this very hour.”(End Vision)(2nd Vision)“Then saw I the Lord upon a white horse and following Him on white horses were the Armies of Heaven, even a great host which came unto the beast and slew the beast causing it to die. This beast was first warred against, then taken and slain out from amongst the nations and was taken and was cast into the lake that burned with fire and with brimstone. So then was mankind saved from the raging of the beast which had caused all men to fall down to worship it and to give obedience unto it with no mercy nor with any relenting of its power over the lives of men in their individual nations. The Lord was the deliverer of mankind from this raging beast as was the Army which was with Him, even so it was a work done by the Lord in this time.”(End Vision)(3rd Vision)“At that time also came forth a bright cloud of the glory of the Lord, even the presence of Our Heavenly Father which covered now the surface of the earth. I saw that the spirit of the Father began to brood over the earth as it once did in the beginning of this world’s creation. The Father thus doing so enveloped the nations and the kingdoms of this world in His great love and encompassed them and brought them unto Himself in full redemption. Within this group was the core element of mankind, a small number of those who were as their Father was, they were in the image and the likeness of their Father and they too were amongst the nations as shining ones to bring forth this love of the Father unto mankind and to bring mankind in peace into the Kingdom of God. In the midst of the cloud and in the center and the brightness of the cloud was a Throne set and one who sat upon the Throne, even the Ancient of days, and thus did He reign over the kingdoms of men and over the lives of men and over the lives of His elect. To this one was my eyesight now brought and near unto Him and to the holiness of His presence did I come and see and know that this was the Lord God Almighty, even He who will perform His entire will in the world of men.” (End Vision) (Prophecy)“Thus says the Lord God Almighty unto His own elect in this hour, even those whom I have chosen for my greater purposes. Behold, I do come says the Lord, to bring you near unto myself that where I am, there you may be also. I do come says the Lord Jesus Christ, to manifest in your flesh my full person and to glorify you, even in this hour that has come upon the earth. My people, know that in times past as my spirit drew you and brought you unto myself I became plain and real unto you and baptised you by full immersion into my love and more so, into the purpose which I purposed for this age. As you came unto me you were brought in greater and greater measures of growth and maturity as line upon line your understanding of me deepened and your love for me increased and your knowledge of me became more and more steadfast. I did manifest myself to you through your faith and gave unto you the understanding you needed, a bit at a time, until you would know me and would know what pleased me. Then as time went by in your earthly walk with me, I gave you promise and calling and unction so that you would learn that there is in the Kingdom of my anointing much more than what you knew before. When this first knowledge of me was replaced with a greater knowledge of me I also chastised you and brought you out from amongst all others to stand alone with me, aside from all the efforts of vain men to instead walk in the light of my word and the counsel of my wisdom. As you came aside I did set each of you apart unto me so that my judgments would correct you in a greater measure and in a greater light than what you did have before. So to this correction and instruction you became even more separated unto me and you learned to not quench my spirit by joining in with the throngs of those who attempt to know me by saying words with their mouths, but having hearts that are far from me. You learned to be open unto me by this chastisement and to seek me in your quiet times in your closets of prayer and in the secret places in your hearts where you would seek to know my presence. It was there, in those secret places that I allowed your pride and your haughty hearts to be dealt with and to be exposed and for humility to be taught unto you through waves of deception that I allowed to take you and to deceive you and to make you fall away from me. There was always a great war in the spirit over mine elect because I allowed the enemy of your souls to take you, commanding these forces of darkness to capture you and hold you captive. All of this so that your hearts could be tried. The trial of your hearts was important to me so that you would learn that loving my truth is the most important thing a person can do with their lives, so that their lives would never be taken up with futility or foolish jesting, but rather with the knowledge of your Heavenly Father’s wisdom and understanding and the truth of His word in your inner man. As you did allow this love for the truth to emerge from your faith you would repent of pride and your own way and you would overcome deception by learning to love my truth and to walk by my spirit. These were the lessons that I brought to you. Now the time had also come wherein you learned that there was upon you individually and apart from all others that which was not based on your pride or the haughtiness of your flesh, but upon my very person and upon my motive to capture in my love all of mankind. So my spirit brought understanding to you and gave unto you wisdom to know that my heart and my purpose was to join you to a company of those who would obey the Lord fully and who would not do their own will. As The Lord Jesus Christ was obedient to take up the cup of suffering in His garden of Gethsemane, so you partook in the fellowship of His sufferings being made conformable unto His death. It was there that I tried you even more to see that your hearts loved my truth and would remain steadfast unto me when all around you the world was taken up with their own cares and riches and easy words and lives that know not this fellowship. As such you were separate first so that you would not be caught up in man’s prosperity but rather that you would know the true riches that comes of my Kingdom and of knowing me. I became to you your source and fount of life. Yet this calling upon you to be part of my special purpose for this hour was still frustrated by the power of your own iniquity which would war against your will to obey me. So it was that I would teach you patience in your tribulation, the long drawn out process of walking step by step, day by day into that realm of spirit which was obedient unto me. That you would not fulfill the lusts of your flesh birthed in iniquity but would rather walk with me in light and in the council of my word and not in that which you would think with your natural thoughts. You learned to seek my mind and to know my word in your hearts so that you would please me in all things. As you did this obedient walk you found that there was still in you a great war. Your flesh which some declare as dead was still very much alive and tormenting you and seeking to make you fall away from me and from the spiritual walk which I met you in daily as if I were walking with you in the cool of the day as did I with Adam in the Garden of Eden. So you had this war and along with this war great accusations would rise in your minds and you would think evil thoughts about yourselves which I did not think towards you. As this war continued in you and as you sought me out day by day so too would your own iniquity war and seek you out and contend with you to make you fall away from me. There were some of my Sons and Daughters who at this time learned how to walk continually in my spirit and thus not allow their flesh to fulfill its lusts upon them. Others who were weaker this way would not learn this until I had gathered in them all realms of rebellion to judge it by a quick motion of my spirit in them. At this time this gathering of these things which are wild within my people is still happening by my spirit and it is still bringing forth this fire and this judgement, but there are some who are mature and who have entered rest and who do not contend with this war of flesh verses spirit in the lives of my people. I do say unto you my dear children that for those whom I have counted as Overcomers, for them, this war is now drawing to a close. I am about to bring great peace to this entire company of those whom I will raise from the dead at my coming. Not only will the mature ones be continuing in this rest, but those who yet war will enter into the same for my resurrected company will be one in purpose and in place when I appear. Yea, I do say unto you, that this is the hour in which I will come and will set up and establish my Kingdom in the earth. All nations shall flow unto you dear ones upon whom this word is sent. I bid you to not regard the falling systems of man, but to see me in my coming and to see me in greater and brighter revelations of glory and power and honor and in the promise of my coming. There are some who mock my coming stating that I have already come, that the resurrection is past. For these my coming will be as much a surprise as to those who through religion thought they would know me and my purposes. Nay, my coming is as sure as the sun does rise upon this new day, I will come and I will manifest my Sons and my Daughters in bodies made new and in lives that will live eternally as one with me upon my Throne. I am coming, it is not a picture, but a soon to be fact, and the entire world will see my coming not just in my person which was raised from the tomb, but also my person in fullness in the life of each one who has come through their years of growing and of tribulations. My coming will be precluded by your entering great peace and the cessation of your spiritual war. When you notice that the war is ceasing and peace is reigning in you my people, then that will be the sign of the coming of the son of man. It is not the collapse of the world’s systems that signals my appearing. It is not the wars that one nation would wage against another. It is not man’s carnal wisdom by invention or by fleshly wisdom of words that signals my coming. My coming is signalled to those of my Kingdom who will take part in the first resurrection by one thing. And that is by the increase and establishment of my everlasting love and peace within them. My own, who are called by my name, will manifest MY LOVE in themselves and all about them. It is my love that the world will know, my love that will show forth my Army. My love which will deliver mankind from their own way. It is my love that my Army will reveal in the greatest of measures. My love is the power of my person, and my love will carry you through to this manifestation. Know this, for it is the fragrance of great grace upon you that my love would be revealed. My Army will destroy anything that is in opposition to my love and will cause it to cease and will bring it to naught. My love will bring the nations that have been and are now into my Kingdom which I am bringing to this earth and I do say unto you that the earth will in that day only be able to hold my love and my Kingdom, all other things must come into it. This is my word to you. So then my people, I will come, and I will glorify your flesh that you die not, and I will reveal my love through you and the world of men will stop right where they are to view and to see my love in such a wondrous display. I AM The Lord Jesus Christ. I AM THE LORD.” (End Prophecy) To be continued…………………..Kenneth B Visscher http://overcomers.ca/Epistle_Mysteries/The_Epistle_Mysteries.htmlCopyright

Thank You Father, sweet Jesus for giving Brother Ken these visions and word of manifestation from You:
"..... in the atmosphere above the earth wherein there was a great war"
"...... blasphemy against the Lord and against His anointed coming forth from this beast which did rage upon the earth"
"..... I saw that this was in current time":
"...... saw I the captain of the Army of Heaven, even the Lord Jesus Christ upon a white horse and out of Him came forth a sword, the word of God and the purpose of God for this age which slew the beast and caused the beast in its entirety to be taken and slain by the sword which issued forth out of the King of Kings who did come to deliver mankind from the raging of this beast which did utter blasphemy against the things of the Lord and the name of the Lord in this very hour."
Thank You Father... according to this present hour vision, the Spirit of Blasphemy which raged against the things of the Lord and the name of the Lord has been slain! Thank You for the victory You have empowered us to receive as we follow You into battle as overcomers by faith!
"...... saw I the Lord upon a white horse and following Him on white horses were the Armies of Heaven, even a great host which came unto the beast and slew the beast causing it to die ..............was taken and was cast into the lake that burned with fire and with brimstone."
Thank You Lord... for the awareness You give us that as we followed You into battle... the beast died.... Thank You for Your Sword of the Spirit which overcame the beast. Bless You Jesus... the battle has been won the beast has been taken and was cast into the lake that burned with fire and with brimstone. Thank You for those You separated unto YourSelf to be an overcomer with/through Your power within"
"........... mankind saved from the raging of the beast which had caused all men to fall down to worship it and to give obedience unto it with no mercy nor with any relenting of its power over the lives of men in their individual nations. The Lord was the deliverer of mankind from this raging beast as was the Army which was with Him, even so it was a work done by the Lord in this time."
"At that time also came forth a bright cloud of the glory of the Lord, even the presence of Our Heavenly Father which covered now the surface of the earth. I saw that the spirit of the Father began to brood over the earth as it once did in the beginning of this world's creation. The Father thus doing so enveloped the nations and the kingdoms of this world in His great love and encompassed them and brought them unto Himself in full redemption."
Thank You Lord Jesus, through that which You have revealed to me along the way... I have been led to stand in faith... seeing such as described above and below... being accomplished in due season ... bless You Father for giving these visions to Ken of such taking place, and it having been accomplished in current time.
"..... a small number of those who were as their Father was, they were in the image and the likeness of their Father and they too were amongst the nations as shining ones to bring forth this love of the Father unto mankind and to bring mankind in peace into the Kingdom of God"
Bless You for showing us, independent of one another... this is our role... for bringing us together.... with certainty. Bless You for conforming us into the image of Your Son... and the likeness of You, our Father, that we might be a light to bring forth Your love unto mankind.... and to bring mankind in peace, into Your Kingdom!
"................. thus did He reign over the kingdoms of men and over the lives of men and over the lives of His elect. To this one was my eyesight now brought and near unto Him and to the holiness of His presence did I come and see and know that this was the Lord God Almighty, even He who will perform His entire will in the world of men."
Thank You for eyes to see.... You, who performs Your entire will over the world of men... Bless You for eyes to see through the eyes of eternity.... there is Divine Order... in what to us has been chaos. Thank You for bringing us into Your Rest... where we may rest in Your finished work... hid in Christ through You.
Thank You Lord for coming and confirming... for sharing Your glory... may we wear it with a cloak of humility!
".... I do come says the Lord, to bring you near unto myself that where I am, there you may be also. I do come says the Lord Jesus Christ, to manifest in your flesh my full person and to glorify you, even in this hour that has come upon the earth."
".... My people, know......................."
Thank You for the knowing You give us.... our having been empowered to desire and experience Your truth!
"..... As you came unto me you were brought in greater and greater measures of growth and maturity as line upon line your understanding of me deepened and your love for me increased and your knowledge of me became more and more steadfast. I did manifest myself to you through your faith and gave unto you the understanding you needed, a bit at a time, until you would know me and would know what pleased me."
Bless You!!!
"..... as time went by in your earthly walk with me, I gave you promise and calling and unction so that you would learn that there is in the Kingdom of my anointing much more than what you knew before."
Thank You!!!
"When this first knowledge of me was replaced with a greater knowledge of me I also chastised you and brought you out from amongst all others to stand alone with me, aside from all the efforts of vain men to instead walk in the light of my word and the counsel of my wisdom. As you came aside I did set each of you apart unto me so that my judgments would correct you in a greater measure and in a greater light than what you did have before. So to this correction and instruction you became even more separated unto me and you learned to not quench my spirit by joining in with the throngs of those who attempt to know me by saying words with their mouths, but having hearts that are far from me. You learned to be open unto me by this chastisement and to seek me in your quiet times in your closets of prayer and in the secret places in your hearts where you would seek to know my presence."
Thank You for teaching us and causing us to learn.... with humility, and an awareness of Your grace and a knowing of Your Presence.
"....... All of this so that your hearts could be tried. The trial of your hearts was important to me so that you would learn that loving my truth is the most important thing a person can do with their lives, so that their lives would never be taken up with futility or foolish jesting, but rather with the knowledge of your Heavenly Father's wisdom and understanding and the truth of His word in your inner man."
Yes Father... as You know, such has been a struggle... dark nights within my soul, weakening of spiritual senses, even so, I have continued to seek You as to Your truth... to be released from fears... deceptions, illusions, fantasy's.... the mind of the unredeemed nature and the lies which keep it corrupt.. bound to sin and death and the weakness of the flesh. Thank You for the gift of faith.... of You!
"As you did allow this love for the truth to emerge from your faith you would repent of pride and your own way and you would overcome deception by learning to love my truth and to walk by my spirit. These were the lessons that I brought to you."
Thank You for Your lessons... and for imparting to us Your love for truth... and for giving us the power to choose to allow truth to emerge from faith, for the gift of repentance and Your overcoming power so we an walk by Your spirit... and not after the flesh.
"........ you learned that there was upon you individually and apart from all others that which was not based on your pride or the haughtiness of your flesh, but upon my very person and upon my motive to capture in my love all of mankind. So my spirit brought understanding to you and gave unto you wisdom to know that my heart and my purpose was to join you to a company of those who would obey the Lord fully and who would not do their own will. As The Lord Jesus Christ was obedient to take up the cup of suffering in His garden of Gethsemane, so you partook in the fellowship of His sufferings being made conformable unto His death. It was there that I tried you even more to see that your hearts loved my truth and would remain steadfast unto me when all around you the world was taken up with their own cares and riches and easy words and lives that know not this fellowship. As such you were separate first so that you would not be caught up in man's prosperity but rather that you would know the true riches that comes of my Kingdom and of knowing me. I became to you your source and fount of life. Yet this calling upon you to be part of my special purpose for this hour was still frustrated by the power of your own iniquity which would war against your will to obey me."
"...... I would teach you patience in your tribulation, the long drawn out process of walking step by step, day by day into that realm of spirit which was obedient unto me. That you would not........"
"...... You learned to seek my mind and to know my word in your hearts so that you....."
"...... As you did this obedient walk you found...." "...... As this war continued in you and as you sought me out day by day so too would...."
So true... so true!!!
".....At this time this gathering of these things which are wild within my people is still happening by my spirit and it is still bringing forth this fire and this judgement, but there are some who are mature and who have entered rest and who do not contend with this war of flesh verses spirit in the lives of my people. I do say unto you my dear children that for those whom I have counted as Overcomers, for them, this war is now drawing to a close."
Thank You Lord... of all that was... is and is to come... Father of all that is.... and is to be...
"...... I am about to bring great peace to this entire company of those whom I will raise from the dead at my coming. Not only will the mature ones be continuing in this rest, but those who yet war will enter into the same for my resurrected company will be one in purpose and in place when I appear."
"..... Yea, I do say unto you, that this is the hour in which I will come and will set up and establish my Kingdom in the earth. All nations shall flow unto you dear ones upon whom this word is sent. I bid you to......"
"...... my coming is as sure as the sun does rise upon this new day, I will come and I will manifest my Sons and my Daughters in bodies made new and in lives that will live eternally as one with me upon my Throne. I am coming, it is not a picture, but a soon to be fact, and the entire world will see my coming not just in my person which was raised from the tomb, but also my person in fullness in the life of each one who has come through their years of growing and of tribulations. My coming will be precluded by your entering great peace and the cessation of your spiritual war. When you notice that the war is ceasing and peace is reigning in you my people, then that will be the sign of the coming of the son of man."
".... My coming is signalled to those of my Kingdom who will take part in the first resurrection by one thing. And that is by the increase and establishment of my everlasting love and peace within them. My own, who are called by my name, will manifest MY LOVE in themselves and all about them. It is my love that the world will know, my love that will show forth my Army. My love which will deliver mankind from their own way. It is my love that my Army will reveal in the greatest of measures. My love is the power of my person, and my love will carry you through to this manifestation. Know this, for it is the fragrance of great grace upon you that my love would be revealed. My Army will destroy anything that is in opposition to my love and will cause it to cease and will bring it to naught. My love will bring the nations that have been and are now into my Kingdom which I am bringing to this earth and I do say unto you that the earth will in that day only be able to hold my love and my Kingdom, all other things must come into it."
Thank You Father for love. wisdom, righteousness, holiness and truth manifested.... through Your Son and those Who You have brought/are bringing to maturity to manifest Your love/truth/eternal purpose...
".... I will come, and I will glorify your flesh that you die not, and I will reveal my love through you and the world of men will stop right where they are to view and to see my love in such a wondrous display. I AM The Lord Jesus Christ. I AM THE LORD."
Thank You Father... for sending Your Son... with the promise of His returning as expressed through HIM and all which is manifested with/through such... Bless You we receive according to Your unfolding plan that which You promised to accomplish... that which will come forth in glory for all to behold ... receive as Your truth manifested!
