VISION OF THE RUSSIAN BEAR

*Context: I’ve been closely following what Russia is doing prior to receiving this vision, including what their view of America and its actions would be (expansionist). I also recently read about how there had been somewhere around 66 or more close fly-bys of Russia military jets and the like in the last year, and just yesterday I read about how Russia had a submarine off of the coast of Alaska in America.

*I received the following vision on the morning of Saturday the 5^th of September, 2015:

2 John 1v3: Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

Matthew 16v2He replied, “When evening comes, you say, ‘It will be fair weather, for the sky is red,’3and in the morning, ‘Today it will be stormy, for the sky is red and overcast.’ You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times

It is very important that we do what the Lord called us to do and to watch, because the world is very quickly changing. Russia is now stirring and not only stirring but the world has already seen it strike out  and begin to reveal its power. We are very much mistaken if we think that Russia is just playing games. The following vision shows this. As always, let us keep watch by being on the lookout for world events that may come to challenge our faith and test our resolve to follow Jesus, because as we know, following Jesus, and continuing to follow Him, is really the only thing that matters at the end of the day. 

VISION: I woke up in the morning and saw a vision of a massive black bear (I saw this in front of my eyes while awake in my house). It was massive but also sleek and looked incredibly strong, and its facial features were very intricate and distinctive. When I first looked at the bear it had its front feet on the floor, but when I looked again, its left foot was up in the air like it was about to stamp it down. That left foot was HUGE- it was GIGANTIC (it was very wide and the circumference of it must've been very great).

In my opinion, I believe the Bear I saw was Russia and I saw it as black because it has very evil intent for destruction and violence. It is strong but it is also now sleek, denoting the ability to move and position itself and also to do this quickly and also to strike quickly and with great power. The paw was lifted when I looked at it a second time because it is now ready to stamp down to destroy something. The world has been witnessing Russia lift this paw up by what it has been doing these last couple of years with Crimea, Ukraine, the many fly-bys by Russian planes with American planes, and some off of American coastlines, and with its meetings and aligning’s with other nations, and even by what it has been doing in significantly building up and updating its military these last few years. This could mean that Russia is about to now stamp its foot down and cause some significant destruction even in the short-term. It is also probably referencing the fact that in the future Russia will bring down this massive paw to the earth and cause great destruction on a massive scale (i.e. large foot).

PREPARE AMERICA

Mena Grebin, a leader at Faithful Walk Healing Ministries in Chicago in America, received revelations from the Lord and from an angel about the trouble that is coming to America. She saw the Rider on a Black Horse riding across the months of September, October, November and December of this year ('A day's wages for loaf of bread'). However, she also saw that in this time of need many Christians would be greatly blessed. I have listened to her share the revelations she received, and while I haven't heard anything directly from the Lord about what she is sharing, I believe that she did hear from the Lord and what she heard was true.

I have also heard many other prophetic revelations that have lined up with each other and that point to the end of this year and next year and onwards as a time of great trouble. My conclusion has been this: 'Could these things not be from the Lord?' Yes, it is possible. 'Could the people receiving the revelations have misheard or misinterpreted what they received?' Again, yes it is possible. 'And could these things have been made up?' Yes, it is possible. However, the conclusion I have reached is this: if I was in America right now, based off the revelations this lady said she received and due to many other prophecies lining up and supporting each other, I would, if it was the will of God, prepare. I would come to the conclusion that it's better to be safe than sorry and do what this lady was told to do and prepare food and water for at least one year for myself and my family. If what Mena and others have said proved to be wrong, I would still be fine, albeit maybe a little out of pocket for a while, however, if I did nothing and did not prepare, I might not be fine, and instead might find myself in real trouble.

No doubt there will be many that the Lord will provide miraculously for if needed, just like when He rained down manna from Heaven for the Israelites in the Old Testament. However, the Lord often provides through what we have already and through what we do to help ourselves to the best of our ability. We see this in the fact that He provides for us through the work we do, and in the Bible this was seen through the small portion of loaves and fishes that were multiplied. It was also seen in the Word when Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding feast:

John 2v5: “His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”  v7-8: “Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.’

Like the servants, we are to do whatever the Lord tells us to do for the provision that we need. The servants filled the jars with water and it was only after this that the water was turned into wine. Likewise, perhaps the Lord is wanting some Christians in America to fill up their storehouses with what they can, then He will provide and multiple from there. The important thing is that if you live in America right now (and even if you don't), do what Jesus' mother said- DO WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU to in regards to preparations, because that is often the way that He provides for His people.

I do not share this lightly; I'm sharing this because I really care about all of my American friends on my friends list and other American Christians and Americans that perhaps may hear about this and so prepare if they feel led by the Lord. I have never shared something like this before in my life, and so hopefully that will tell you how seriously I'm taking this. Again, even if all this falls through, and none of it comes to pass (at least not in the near future), what is the harm in preparing? If I received this directly from the Lord, I would prepare and I would tell others to as well if that's what the Lord wanted, and that's what Mena has done. Mena Grebin was told to warn people, and I think the Christians in America, and in fact anyone in America would be extremely wise to heed what He said to her. Do not be afraid, but do not be unwise either. Hear what the Lord is saying to you at this time, and take action from there if that is what He wants.

The notes about what Mena Grebin received from the Lord are below and were taken from 'The Prophecy Club' website at http://www.prophecyclub.com/latest-prophecies, and were written by the head of The Prophecy Club, Stan Johnson. I would also recommend and urge people in America, and people everywhere, to go to http://www.prophecyclub.com in order to listen to Stan's latest radio broadcast entitled 'Stan Why GFC Will Happen in 2015' (find on that page at the top- it is the first radio broadcast).

Stan Johnson's notes about what he heard Mena Lee Grebin talk about regarding the revelations she said she received:

“A recession within a recession is coming.” The cities will burn. I saw riots in the streets neighbors were fighting each other. The LORD said, “The violence will increase due to fear.” Have at least one year’s food and supplies including water! Everything that needs to get done must be done by the end of the 2015 summer. Buy food and supplies.

Many Christians will be greatly blessed in this time of need.

Spring 2014: I saw the Rider on a Black Horse riding across the months Sept Oct Nov Dec 2015. A day’s wages for a loaf of bread. Many small businesses will fail in 2015. Those depending upon the government will fall, the housing market will crash again. Warn the people, those who know me will be sustained

As the nation is prepping for catastrophe, heaven is prepping for revival. The revival will start on the east coast and spread to the west coast.

The drought in California is going to grow worse and spread. Starting in Sept 2015 and carrying into next year it is a time of Jubilee.

2015 Vision: I saw newspaper “575,000 jobs lost.”

Angel visit: I ask the angel, “Will Hillary will win in 2016?”

The elections will be delayed there will not be a 2016 election! Obama will remain in the White House.

"JADE" ( Joint Assisted Deployment & Execution ) "HELM" ( Homeland Extermination of Local Militias ) is preparation for Martial Law and the disarmament of America and Texas is the primary target.

DREAM: MASSIVE TSUNAMI

2 John 1v3: Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

Proverbs 1v33but whoever listens to me will live in safety

                          and be at ease, without fear of harm.” 

Before you read this, please keep in mind that the Lord gives prophecy and prophetic dreams for the BENEFIT of His people. He does it so that we'll be encouraged to continue to follow Him, and stay on the right path, even when it is very difficult to do so. The Lord does not want us to become fearful in the wrong way, and He does not want us to freak out. His desire for us is to have us rest and be at peace with Him through being rightly related to Him. The Lord's people have GRACE, MERCY and PEACE to always greet them as they abide in Him! If you are His, and know it confidently in your heart, then let peace reign in your hearts as you read this, for the Lord is your defender, your shield and your shepherd! Know that you are part of His sheepfold, and He will lead you to safety, whether now or in the future. If you are unsure whether you are His or if you know you aren't right with Him, then get right with Him and become safe! He rebukes and disciplines us for our good because He loves us so much! Furthermore, if He wants you on the Coast for now, stay on the Coast! If He wants you to move at any time, then move! Above all, hear His voice and follow wherever He goes and wants you to be. However, know that He reveals these things for a reason, and that it is part of His plan in revealing such things as these to keep you safe in being with Him.

A couple of days ago I had a dream from the Lord. In the dream I was at my house at Palm Beach and I looked out onto the beach to the right. What I saw amazed me. The surf had quickly picked up and seemed to grow by the second, so that after looking at it for a few seconds it was easily 6-10 foot shore break. It went from a wave of about 4-6 foot to easily 8-10 foot or bigger in a matter of seconds. I was amazed at this. However, at first I just thought it was big surf and getting bigger really quickly. So at first I couldn’t believe it and said, “Are you KIDDING me!” I was excited at first because it was big surf (I bodyboard in real life), but quickly became concerned when it grew extremely quickly into a monstrous wave. It started out a 4-6 foot wave, then grew to 8-10 foot, then just kept growing bigger and bigger very quickly until the wave was massive. The height of the wave (that was right on the shoreline) became a massive tsunami, the height of which seemed almost incomprehensible. In my mind in the dream I was thinking about and trying to estimate to myself about exactly how high the wave was. At first I was thinking ‘hundreds of feet’, then I thought ‘a thousand feet’. What looked to me to be about a thousand-foot tsunami wave started to curl over, and the barrel it started to form was almost incomprehensibly big. It threw out (curled) to such an extent that it seemed to cover most of Palm beach and the Coast. In my mind I knew that myself and others were as good as dead. However, I didn’t see it actually hit the Coast (actually break onto land).

In the dream I realised what I was seeing and that the Lord was showing me that this could happen in the future, and I said out loud, “When will this happen Lord?” I didn’t know if I’d get an answer, but I asked anyway. I was half expecting and hoping for a voice from Heaven to answer me, but it didn’t come. I won't reveal the rest of the dream for now. However, I will say that in the dream I believe it was revealed to me that this event can be stopped if God's people will pray as the words 'Mantle of Prayer' or 'Prayer Mantle' were revealed to me. Also it was revealed to me that while there are good things about Hillsong and God's people, there is also much that is corrupting both at the moment, to the point where in the dream I asked, "Whose are these children?" In other words, there are many of those who are a part of Hillsong and a part of the Church in general who, while having good things about them, also have things that are wrong and that are corrupting them, to the point where it is not certain whether they are children of God or children of the world and the enemy. I know this may be shocking to some, and it was certainly shocking to me, but our opinions about this don't matter, for our opinions are often just based off of what we see and the appearance of things, but God knows the true state of things as they really are. If we pray about both this tsunami and for Hillsong and for God's Church in Australia- that both will change so that both can be definitely classified as children of God and not children of the world and of the enemy, and through this and the power and grace of God, then I believe the Lord was saying in the dream that this tsunami doesn't have to come, and that He will stop it. No doubt not all of those that go to Hillsong would be classified like this, or those of the Church that we see on the Coast, however, I believe the Lord has revealed what is going on in a big way at the moment in both, so we need to pray. 

I believe that it would almost be beyond our ability to understand just how devastating it would be if such a tsunami would hit the Coast. I believe also that the tsunami would not necessarily have to be 1000 foot high (although Scientists agree that a long time ago in human history a tsunami very close to such a height took place on the earth) which is 304.8 metres, however it could be, and I believe the dream showed that if it does hit, it will be that height. It is important that we listen to what the Lord reveals, because through prophecy and prophetic dreams the Lord intends to keep us on the right path, and so keep us safe from such things:

Proverbs 1v33but whoever listens to me will live in safety

                          and be at ease, without fear of harm.” 

I will be praying that this tsunami will be stopped and that the Lord will spare many lives and that what surely would be so much of the Coast if it actually did hit in the future. I will be praying that many at Hillsong and many of the people of God change so that they'll definitely be children of God and so be able to be kept safe. Please tell everyone you know about this dream and encourage and warn about what the Lord revealed in it. Please encourage and plead with everyone to pray, and to continue to pray, for the Lord answers prayers!

James 5v…16: The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.

17Elijah was a human being, even as we are. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.

PART 1: HAVE WE BEEN PAYING ATTENTION?

Whether we realise it or not, all of the body of Christ are called to be watchmen to some degree. Jesus told us to 'watch' for a reason: Mark 13v35 Watch therefore, for you do not know when the master of the house is coming. v37 And what I say to you, I say to all: Watch!” We are specifically to watch because we do not know when Christ returns, and the Lord wants us to be ready when He does (not only ready in the sense of our following of Him and being rightly related to Him, but also in terms of our usefulness in our using of the talents He has given us, and not burying them in the ground).

Some mess around with the clear reading of scripture and whether they intend to or not, rob themselves of an important calling which Christ Himself gave the whole body of Christ (believing they don't have to watch for the signs of the times or be ready for Christ's return). This 'watching' is a watching for the signs of the times by watching the world both for what men and Christ are doing, in order to be prepared for His return. And it is a watching so that we will be able to be the most effective for serving Christ in the hear and now (serving His specific purposes), and most effectively be able to respond to what Jesus is doing on the earth now:

Luke 12v54 Then He also said to the multitudes, “Whenever you see a cloud rising out of the west, immediately you say, ‘A shower is coming’; and so it is. 55 And when you see the south wind blow, you say, ‘There will be hot weather’; and there is. 56 Hypocrites! You can discern the face of the sky and of the earth, but how is it you do not discern this time?

Matthew 16v…3: You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.

Because the Pharisees and also many of the multitude that listened to Jesus in this passage did not rightly discern the time they were in, by rightly discern the signs of the times, they did not understand who they listened to in fact was Jesus Himself, the Son of God! Therefore, not only could they not enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but they stopped themselves from being able to learn from Jesus Himself face to face, and they stopped themselves from learning what He would have them do for Him and the Kingdom (robbing themselves of being able to live and serve to one day gain eternal fruit and rewards). Jesus was in fact trying to speak to the people about the most important things they would ever hear through the signs of the times, but many did not want to listen or did not have the wisdom to understand that they needed to listen or needed to interpret the signs. Often because we are living more fleshly than spiritually, we miss something crucial or at least extremely important that Jesus is wanting to say to us- not just to benefit us and secure us now, but also to benefit and secure us for eternity.

Other reasons God wants us to watch will follow, God willing, in Part 2.

NUCLEAR BOMB DREAM & RADIATION DREAM

2 Tim 3v1: This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

Acts 2v17“ ‘In the last days, God says,

I will pour out my Spirit on all people.

Your sons and daughters will prophesy,

your young men will see visions,

your old men will dream dreams.

18Even on my servants, both men and women,

I will pour out my Spirit in those days,

and they will prophesy.

19I will show wonders in the heavens above

and signs on the earth below,

blood and fire and billows of smoke.

1 Thess 5v3: While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

1 Thess 5v19-21: Do not quench the Spirit. 20Do not treat prophecies with contempt 21but test them all; hold on to what is good…

1 Cor 12v7: But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all...

On Sunday the 25^th of August, 2013, I posted a blog entitled ‘DREAM: NUCLEAR EXPLOSION OFF THE COAST OF AUSTRALIA’ in which I shared a dream I’d received from the Lord about a nuclear explosion going off a fair distance off of the East Coast of Australia (far out to sea). If anyone out there needs context, the the dream itself (in its entirety) is still available for viewing on my blog ‘Making Straight His Paths’ at the following address; http://futurezion.blogspot.com.au/search?q=nuclear. However, as a quick recap (I will get to the point of this post very soon), in the dream itself I witnessed a nuclear bomb exploding off of the Eastern Coast of Australia, out to sea (it seemed as though it was far out to sea). In the dream itself I quickly took cover in an underground shelter (it will be best to get underground as quickly as possible if possible when the nuclear bomb goes off), which turned out to be just a normal house in the dream itself (if going underground isn’t possible at the time, getting into a house and off of the ground will be the next best thing). I was shown a map of Australia and a picture of where the bomb had exploded. A news presenter motioned with his hand that the fallout would go North, towards North QLD from the Gold Coast (though I expected him to say it would go West- inland towards the Coast). It was clear from what I saw in the dream that the effects of the nuclear explosion reached the Coast (the land), especially heat from the bomb (so that it was important to get off of the ground). This leads me to what the Lord showed me recently in a dream, and the point of this post, which I believe the Lord is giving further direction as to what to do if you find that you are on the Coast when this event takes place (unless the Lord is merciful and protects Australia from this! May it be so!)

A couple of weeks ago I had another dream that seems obviously connected to the nuclear bomb dream. I dreamt I was at Rainbow beach in Tweed Heads with a friend. Across the road from us was another group of friends. It was a beautifully sunny day and really pristine conditions (perfect for a day out at the beach). All of a sudden, the friend who was with me told me that he had to leave soon to go to a talk/lecture about Radioactive Gas (but he didn’t say it in an alarming way, but just like it was something that wouldn’t surprise anyone). I had to ask him a few times to repeat himself because it didn’t fully register what he was saying, and I also couldn’t believe or understand why he would be going to such a talk. His responses included words like ‘Yellow Cake, Radiation, Radioactive, and Gas’. I was trying to get my head around why he would be going to such a talk, and I said, “Why are you going to a talk about that?” Although I can’t remember perfectly what he said, I believe his responses were along the line of: ‘We might need to know about this for what might happen in the future’, ‘It’s something to do’ / and another response I won't publish here.

When I woke from the dream, it was fairly obvious to me what the Lord is saying. In the present time, to say that a nuclear bomb is coming and radiation is coming seems, in the natural, to be absolutely ludicrous. After all, we are definitely in ‘sunny’ times right now, and it really doesn’t seem like anything is going to go wrong (really that nothing could disturb this ‘beautiful day’ we’re in at the moment). However, it seems that before too long we’ll need to know how to survive what’s coming, including the radiation that will come to the East Coast of Australia. This may even be something that Christians and even people in general will realise is just a reality of what we should be prepared for, as my friend was in the dream, as perhaps world events will warn many of what could possibly happen anyway (think what Russia and China is doing at the moment- Russia building up and updating its military and China building military bases out to sea). The best thing would be to start becoming knowledgeable about these things now. I have to admit, I have to look into these things more myself, and especially how I would prepare for radiation and nuclear fallout.

In the natural, I feel as though myself, plus everyone I know should move away from the Coast and the East Coast of Australia (either going as far South as possible or moving far away/ for myself I personally feel as though the Lord will be moving me on anyway in the next few years). In the natural, I feel as though the Lord is giving His people ample warning about this for a reason, and that reason is so that they will be able to escape what’s coming well in advance. However, I also realise that spiritually speaking, first and foremostly we must be led by His voice and be where He wants us to be. This may involve staying where we are permanently, or staying where we are for now and then moving later. Or it may involve staying where we are and preparing as best we can for what’s coming, so we can ride it out. However, if we don’t believe what the Lord is revealing here, then we may not prepare in any way, and that will not be a good or Godly thing to do, and we will most likely pay the price for it. Also, if we are not following the Lord at the time when this all takes place, we could be in very great danger.

For now, my recommendation would be to pray about what’s above and so test it. Yes, the Lord is the one who guards us, but often how He does this is to speak to us and have us act in some way in regards to what He says, and I believe the two revelations above are Him speaking to us and also wanting us to prepare. For now, while I have the time, I’m going to be praying and also doing as much research as I can about these things, and pass it on as I’m able. I’m going to be researching about the effects of nuclear bombs and the effects of radiation. I believe the Lord is encouraging all of us out there to do the same thing. My prayer is obviously that these things never happen, as it would be an obvious tragedy. However, with the world as it is at the moment and with the way things are headed, even in the natural I don’t think many would think that these things wouldn’t be possible. I fully believe that the two dreams the Lord gave me are from Him, and that we need to pay attention to what He is revealing in them. These things are not a reason to become afraid, as the Lord is our Shepherd and our defence. But we should take notice of them, pray about what the Lord would have us do in response to them, and act according to what He says to do.

Psalm 91 New King James Version (NKJV)

Safety of Abiding in the Presence of God

91 

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 

I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in Him I will trust.”

3 

Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler[a]
And from the perilous pestilence.

4 

He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.

5 

You shall not be afraid of the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

6 

Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.

7 

A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.

8 

Only with your eyes shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.

9 

Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,

10 

No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;

11 

For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.

12 

In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.

13 

You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.

14 

“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My name.

15 

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.

16 

With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.”

DREAM: GET READY FOR PERSECUTION

The Lord put it on my heart to pray for what we, as Christians, need to be warned about and prepared for regarding what is coming in the future. In light of that, I woke up from a dream today and dreamt of persecution that is coming to Christians because of our belief in God’s Word that says homosexuality is a sin. Because of this belief, in the dream law enforcement authorities set me up as a criminal and false evidence was planted against me in order to bring me down. I was framed, and was shown that this was

because of the gay pride movement.

It seems that many that stand by the Bible and all of its truth, including God’s view about homosexuality, will face this kind of persecution in the coming days. While authorities may not be able to charge and arrest Christians based off of their belief in homosexuality as a sin, they will try to make up charges against us by setting us up and making up evidence against us.

I am thankful that God loves all men, no matter how lost, and that this is the day predominantly of His grace. I am thankful that God came to love mankind (for God so loved the world that He sent His only Son!) and that God calls all of His people to love ALL mankind as well, no matter how sinful, as even Christians are sinners. But I am also thankful for God’s truth and the gospel, by which men might be saved through His love, conviction and new life! I’m also thankful that it is by truth that men see Jesus and also their own lost and evil state, and so are led to a heartfelt repentance of their old life and sins, and an acceptance as Christ as their Saviour. Now, as always, Christians must love the unsaved and that includes those that are homosexual. And that love for both the unsaved and the homosexual remains the same- we must not only be kind to them, but we must also show them (with our lives and words) and preach to them (with our lives and words) the gospel, which includes the whole truth about sin and the judgment of sin which we deserved but which was placed upon Christ in our place, and the grace and life that comes to those that repent and turn to Him. If that brings persecution, then so be it (and Christ will take care of us through that anyway). For our first concern must not be for ourselves, but for His Kingdom (seek first His Kingdom and His righteousness) and for His lost creation.

Now, more than ever, Christians need to stand for the truth in love, and speak the truth in love. Just like we preach about love, sin and forgiveness to the lost, so must we do to those that are homosexuals in their lost state- for both camps are in need of a Saviour. If we water down the gospel and water down the truth, we water down the very medicine that Christ has specifically chosen for lost mankind:

Romans 1v16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile.

Luke 5v29Then Levi held a great banquet for Jesus at his house, and a large crowd of tax collectors and others were eating with them. 30But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law who belonged to their sect complained to his disciples, “Why do you eat and drink with tax collectors and sinners?”

31Jesus answered them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 32I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”

So get ready, persecution is coming, but that doesn’t mean we should not shine His light before men:

Luke 11v33“No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light.

The light within us will shine anyway if we are living for God but we should make it shine in every way we can (not just by a life lived but by words spoken). Even if we are only Christians and never speak of homosexuality as a sin, it is very likely that when the world sees Christians as those that believe in what God says about it, that we will be persecuted anyway, as we will be seen as hateful and as those that are detrimental to society and its wellbeing. While this is sobering, we should not be afraid, for God is sovereign even over persecution, and will be with us in and through whatever we may go through because of what is coming. He will work His purposes through whatever persecution we go through, and as the Word says, Romans 8v28: ‘And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.’

VISION: TERROR

I had a brief vision of a terrified woman in pink yesterday morning. She was stricken with terror- pulling her mouth open wide with both hands. The look on her face was horrible as she was in great distress.Then in the evening there was the horrible news of the terrorist attack in France, and now today the three other terrorist attacks in three other nations. God warned of terrorist attacks that were coming to the world, and still is, because He is faithful in Shepherding His people.

I also believe the vision shows the part of the modern Church that is completely taken up with things to do with the senses and flesh (pink dress the woman had on), will experience great terror in the days ahead when the incredibly hard things that are coming take place (as they will not be spiritually minded but fleshly minded and their love will be for fleshy things rather than the things of God). It may also be showing that those that are sexually immoral will also experience this terror. As always, our safety lies in abiding in Christ (by grace) and following after the Spirit, as that is the path in which we follow the Lord- and if we are following Him, He will look after us by leading us.

Psalm 27v1:
The Lord is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2When the wicked advance against me
to devoura me,
it is my enemies and my foes
who will stumble and fall.
3Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then I will be confident.
4One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
5For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his sacred tent
and set me high upon a rock.
6Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his sacred tent I will sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the Lord.
