During the past 40 days I have intentionally entered into times of seeking more of God’s face and heart. God will often speak to me through visions or through His creation, but only on a few occasions have I met with Him in my dreams. During this time, I began to seek Him for more of His voice in my dreams. I was specifically asking Him to speak during my dreams and so when He did, my heart was SO full with joy and excitement.
Over the last year and a half or so, from around the end of 2017-2019 I felt the Lord has been very clearly speaking to my heart about His hand being on the winnowing fork.
“Even now the ax of God’s judgment is poised, ready to sever the roots of the trees. Yes, every tree that does not produce good fruit will be chopped down and thrown into the fire. He is ready to separate the chaff from the wheat with his winnowing fork. Then he will clean up the threshing area, gathering the wheat into his barn but burning the chaff with never-ending fire.”
Matthew 3:10, 12 NLT
I know these are scriptures that we often will glaze over or intentionally leave out or know are left out of messages purposefully. Yet, it is the Word of the Lord and though it seems quite direct and difficult to swallow, this is a day the Lord says is coming. So, what will we do with this if it is true? We should ponder the state of our roots. Are we strong, dug deep, sturdy, ready to bear fruit? Or are we shallow rooted, damaged roots, a system unable to establish depth that will not grow and bear fruit.
He has shown me He has been sifting our hearts, sifting out the wheat from the chaff, the sheep from the goats, the true Bride from the counterfeit.
“But when the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne. All the nations will be gathered in his presence, and he will separate the people as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will place the sheep at his right hand and the goats at his left. “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.’
“Then the King will turn to those on the left and say, ‘Away with you, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his demons. For I was hungry, and you didn’t feed me. I was thirsty, and you didn’t give me a drink. I was a stranger, and you didn’t invite me into your home. I was naked, and you didn’t give me clothing. I was sick and in prison, and you didn’t visit me.’
“And they will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous will go into eternal life.”
Matthew 25:31-36, 41-43, 46 NLT
Again, very difficult words to swallow and not very often that we discuss these truths because they may seem so harsh and almost upsetting. Yet in love, I share these truths, because to truly and unashamedly share the reality of what Gods Word says is in store for our future is the most loving thing we can do for our friends and family. Not to hide, hinder or muddy the truth to the comfort of tickling itching ears, but to be HONEST and COMPASSIONATE and share the cautions of the Word of God just as well as the JOY THAT AWAITS all those who come to Him humbly admitting their need for a Savior!
He has also really shown me that He is in the process of developing a HUNGER in His Bride. A hunger for more of Him, more of His Word, more of feasting upon Him and being
Filled
Fueled and
Growing
Than ever before!
He says in Matthew 5:6, “God blesses those who HUNGER and THIRST for righteousness, for they will be satisfied.”
NLT
It is interesting to me how much we LONG for and SEEK AFTER satisfaction. Job satisfaction, marriage satisfaction, academic satisfaction, accomplishment satisfaction, buyer satisfaction etc etc etc... yet all of these longings still leave us SO empty SO often! WHY?! Why do we give up so much for temporary satisfaction/fullness when the long term and eternal satisfaction Jesus talks about by being HUNGRY and THIRSTY and coming to a Well that never runs dry and a Feast that has all the delicacies is what will TRULY satisfy?!
I want to share this first dream during this special time of drawing in to Gods heart that He encouraged me with. Ironically, or should I say appointed by God, it “just so happened” that the same passage He impressed upon my heart when I woke that morning around 4 am was the same verse that YouVersion used later that morning as their “verse of the day”. I am always awestruck at how the Holy Spirit confirms and reaffirms His Word when God is speaking, by demonstrating repeated patterns throughout various sources! God is always speaking!! Are we attuned to His voice?
The dream...
11/13/19
I just woke from a dream that filled me with excitement...
My dreams final words: “This season” is about to come to an end. We are entering the new season. The season of
•The Rapture Is Coming Soon•
So I sought the Lord, God tell me more about this new season of •The Rapture Is Coming Soon• ... and He said to my heart
This new season is all about PREPARATION. He said, the Bride is called to be preparing herself for the coming of the Groom. Get rid of all the distractions! Set aside lesser loves! Yeild your heart! Draw in to My heart! Be about the WORK of PREPARATION! Buying the gown, dressing herself in the jewels, ordering the cake, BEING READIED!
Prepare your heart for the King of King’s and Lord of Lords, CHURCH! People get ready Jesus is coming soon we’ll be going Home!
“Ask me and I will tell you remarkable secrets you do not know about things to come.”
Jeremiah 33:3 NLT
May His spirit minister life, joy, peace, understanding and a hunger and thirst in your life like you’ve never experienced before!
