In the vision I was looking at crystal clear water. My viewpoint was parallel
to the waterline so that I could see both above and below the water. It was
as if I was looking through a glass because I could see clearly underwater.
The water was crystal clear. I could see the legs and feet of someone standing
in the water. The water level was exactly ankle deep.
POSSIBLE INTERPRETATION
From Pastor Dale: The present move of the Lord is still only ankle deep.
We have much to look forward to.
"And when the man that had the line in his hand went forth eastward, he measured
a thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the waters were
to the ankles. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me through the waters;
the waters were to the knees. Again he measured a thousand, and brought me
through; the waters were to the loins. Afterward he measured a thousand;
and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen,
waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over..." (Eze 47:3-5)
As Pastor taught this night, I was greatly impacted by "Jesus our Redeemer."(Part
of his teaching was on the silver in the tabernacle.) As the Holy Spirit
fell in the room I began to weep and I saw a vision of a large red and silver
banner unfolding over us. It said in large letters REDEEMER. As it unfolded,
silver rain began to fall from it. The rain turned to silver coins that began
to fill up the sanctuary. When I asked the Lord what this meant, He reminded
me that our church was a "redemption center" and that He had made provision
for the redemption of many here.
The Lord opened my eyes and the ceiling opened up so I could see the heavens.
Several trumpets pierced the clouds through the open ceiling. Then Lord opened
my ears I literally heard the trumpets play the most beautiful fanfare I
have ever heard. It was in perfect harmony. When they finished, the heavens
poured a huge torrential downpour of rain. Everything was totally soaked
inside the building.
DREAM: I drove up to a dark yard, straight to the sprinklers and turned them
on. I awoke singing, "It's beginning to rain, says the voice of the Father,
I'm going to pour My Spirit out on My sons and My daughters."
CONFIRMATIONAL SIGN
I had just finished transferring the above dream into my journal. When I
opened the door to the garage, my garage was flooded with water! Then I turned
in my Bible to 2 Kings 3:16! Thus saith the Lord, make this valley full of
ditches, For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye
see rain, yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink,
both ye and your cattle and your beasts.
His Still Small Voice given to Grandma Anna on 11/1/91
I heard the Lord say, "Taken and won. The battle is over. The victory is
Mine says the Lord. Watching and waiting at your post. Careful watch. Thank
you.
We won. Now comes the rain. It's a mighty downpour. Wet and thirsty, that's
My crop.
The weeds grow too. Watch it. Let them grow. I'll take care of it.
Nothing ventured. Nothing gained. In this case all. What a family to call
My own. Sons, daughters, all. Worth the trouble, worth the pain. Those teenagers,
what a gain! Listen. Listen to the rain.
A wonderful blessing. We sing for joy. The parents to the children, it's
a boy. A big boy. More like a man. Yes, I can. I can do anything.
Want to have a party? We will at the gate. It's coming. I'm never late. Bride
is on time, so is the Groom. Ruling and reigning, that's what we'll do.
There never is a finish. There never is a through. Gone is winter. Spring
too. Let's watch summer. Begin anew. That's a rare spectacle watching it
grow. Quick gain. Worth the pain. One big whoosh and he's out.
Glory. The glory begins anew. There is meat anew under the hill. For
it takes a battle to win a city. The work made ready under the hill. What
My Spirit is doing under the hill, soon you will know.
Lovely, a bride singing My song. Lovely tune. Songs of deliverance. Saving
the nations. Quiet and reserved, a bride dazzling white. Changed all at once
from the inside. Motives pure. Loves Me with her whole heart."
DREAM: There was a group called the Second Book of Acts on stage. They were
singing about the rain. I could hear thunder and see lightening. It started
to rain hard. I saw a girl totally drenched. When I awoke I heard the Lord
say, "This is that spoken by the prophet Joel. The second glory of God is
here."
Haggai 2:9: The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former,
saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD
of hosts.
The city truck arrived and flushed out the fire hydrant which deluged the
street with water. Then immediately a thunder storm hit and we were flooded
with a sheet of rain. The drops were two inches across. With joy I turned
to the Word and it opened to "Copious rains will insure plentiful harvests!"
His Still Small Voice given to Grandma Anna 1/16/89
I heard the Lord say, "Married. Soon. Worth waiting for. My own. A bride.
Seven complete. Lovely. Glorified. Dazzling. A rushing stream, straight from
the throne room. Healing the nations. Trees of righteousness. Stately tall
cedars. A branch of My planting. Will you not know it? A beacon on a hill.
Yes, this is the city I desire to dwell in, the mountain of Zion.
Listen. The sound of many waters. Coming. Rain. The desert shall bloom. It
shall be saith the Lord your God, walking among you, unrecognized. I am a
God that hidest Myself. Fear not little one of the words you have heard.
Soon off comes the cover. Exposed. A city on a hill cannot be hid. A wondrous
work. Astonishment."
(I was awakened many times during the night hearing, "Door opened. Walk it.")
HEARD: "Rain water to my soul. Pain brings gain. I've got a river of life
flowing out of me. Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart
be acceptable in they sight. I can hear the sound of the falling rain."
SAW: An umbrella turned inside out by the wind. Then as the rain started
it was ok.
HEARD: "Hide not thy face from me. He restoreth my soul."
I heard the Lord say, "Coming. Can it be? Watch and see. A rain. A torrent.
Caught in the current. Strong strokes. Swimming well. You'll be with Him
little one. Fear not."
I heard the Lord say, "Raining hard. Cloud burst. Lots of bubbles. Blowing
everywhere. It's ok, carried by the wind. East they blow. Precious in My
sight.
Lots of rain coming. A wet summer. I've a song in my heart today. Double
portion ears are hear to stay. Double portion ears aren't going away. Hooray!"
His Still Small Voice given to Grandma Anna on 5/24/94
"A very special family. Lots of pain. Lots of strain. But watch it rain.
A downpour coming. Drenched. Over and over and over again. Upside down, right
side up. Cartwheels. Turning and turning. What joy. This family did it. Raising
My Boy. They are the womb. It's an earthly tomb. Lots of little Adam's growing.
Going to make a sonic boom.
Watch out it's catching. Such a noise you've never heard. It's coming from
the East. A huge bird. Called him to My foot. That's what it took. People
loving people. Willing to go all the way. Ready to greet the New Day. My
Day. Lots of fire and thunder. Cleansing as it goes. The earth in painful
throes. Groaning and yearning. When will it happen? Let it be. You'll know.
When you see him in the midst of the sea. Thank you dear ones. You did it
for Me."
"Is this you? Is this me? All others wait and see. You know. What's Coming?
Phew!. Mouth open. I will fill it. Fountain spewing. It's a geyser. Touches
the throne room. Rains downward. It's beginning to rain cries the voice of
the Father. I've waited long and hard for it says Father Farmer. My best
crop with a message."

A NEW DAY
Shout it from the house tops. Make merry and be glad! A new beginning do
I declare. For your shame you shall receive double of everlasting joy upon
your heads. Rejoice for I come to refresh.
Listen for the rain. Long I have waited to pour Myself out upon you. First
the fire, then the rain. I held back until the fire did its cleansing work.
As Elisha declared make this valley full of ditches in preparation for the
coming water, so I declared righteousness and mercy must be sown through
the breaking of fallow ground. Rejoice oh meek ones! The preparation is complete.
Your hearts are soft and I turn My face toward you.
I earnestly seek you. My heart is drawn toward you and I will draw your heart
toward Me. This is not a work you can do in yourself. I alone do the drawing.
Only be tender and soft to respond when I call. I shall woo your heart and
place My longings within you. I will create in you a hunger for My Words.
I have a hunger to hear you.
A new season is knocking on your door. Resurrection! Awake oh sleeping ones.
Open your ears and hear, open your eyes and see, open your heart and receive
the resurrection of My Spirit within you. Awake, arise. Stand to your feet!
Rejoice for it is the dawning of a new day.
Mercy, mercy. Declare mercy to My people. The burning of the fire, the sifting
of the plough, the dryness of famine, all shall be quenched as I pour Myself
upon you. Your ground shall be settled and planted with the rains. I will
confirm your way with the nearness of My Presence. Rejoice My fair ones,
for the drawing has begun.
Behold I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth...[Isa 42:19]
DREAM: Suddenly there was a downpour of rain. I have never heard or seen
rain so strong, so loud, so violent. It was almost a fearful thing, certainly
at least awe-filled. I wondered if the roof would hold.
DREAM: We were driving some visitors somewhere. It began to rain so hard
we couldn't hear our voices. I said, "Lord it's raining so hard we can't
hear!" Then it quit raining so hard. The visitors had never seen rain before
and were frightened.
HEARD AND SAW: I heard, "An afternoon fire caught in the showers." Then I
saw the rain pouring down and was suddenly drenched all across the front
of me.
EXPERIENCE: It looked as though it might rain while I was taking my walk.
I was thinking about the last day ministry of the Elijah company of people
and trying to internalize it. At the one mile point I made the decision to
walk another mile and a half. I asked the Lord if He would please not let
it rain until I got home like he did for Elijah. It didn’t rain the
whole way although it looked as though it was raining all around me. As soon
as I returned home, I got my purse and went to my car. Just as I sat down
and closed the door, it began to pour! It really rained very hard! I sat
there laughing and thanking the Lord for the confirmation.

His Still Small Voice & Visions given to Grandma Anna on 10/2/89
HEARD: "Heed the cry of the trumpet. A long blast. A loud one. Unpleasant
sound. Heed it. For then comes what all heaven has been waiting for. The
beginning of Satan taken to the pit. Do you hear it? Listen."
VISION: Then I saw the word, "LISTEN"
HEARD: "A dissonant sound. But a clarion call. Blow the whistle kid. It's
time. Pain. Father. Pain. Yes, but listen to it rain."
VISION: I saw rain.
HEARD: "Fear not for the Kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent
take it by force. Heed the call of the trumpet. The Lord desires willing
vessels. He will not force you to respond to your call. But He desires you
to wake up. To make a decision. Will you or? All heaven awaits your answer.
Come on candle stand up. It's time. Do you hear it? It's a loud blast."
VISION: I saw the words, "WAKE UP"
HEARD: "It's time for the restitution of all things. It's time for the latter
and former rain together in the first month. How the husbandman waits for
the early and latter rain. It's time. Wake up you dry bones and hear the
words of the Lord. My army is coming and it's waiting for its Generals."
VISION: I again saw the words, "WAKE UP"
HEARD: "Heed the call of reveille. It's time to march. Awake, Awake O sword
of the Lord. Awake, Awake. It's time to put on your beautiful garments. Take
up the rod of Moses and stand before Pharaoh. Demand he let my people go.
Yea, ye shall deliver the captives. Home free. Will you say, "Yes, Lord?"
He waits for your answer. All creation waits and groans. Listen to the clarion
call of the trumpet. It's calling you. Rise up my fair one and come away.
Who is this that cometh out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke with

His Still Small Voice given to Sandy Warner Rhema 11/14/85
[Taken from the book, “101+ Ways God Speaks (And How To Hear Him)
When I went to sleep I had a strong yearning for Jesus. As I slept He came
to me and opened my eyes. I saw a huge, gigantic banner unfolding across
the sky. It said, “THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.” Suddenly I found myself
in heaven looking down upon a vast desert. It was dry, brown, flat, and immense.
As I gazed upon the lifeless desert, someone was standing above and behind
me declaring the scroll of Isaiah 35: “The wilderness and the solitary
place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as
the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing:
the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and
Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, the excellency of our God.
Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them of
a fearful heart, be strong, fear not: behold your God will come with vengeance;
He will come and save you. Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and
the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame leap as an hart,
and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break
out, and streams in the desert. And the parched ground shall become a pool,
and the thirsty land springs of water...” (Isaiah 35 KJ)
Behold, see the horizon! Bursts of amber appear before you, filled with the
glory of God. Did I not say a new beginning? Did I not promise the glory
of the latter house will be greater than the former? Look, for the glory
of the Lord comes.
Arise from your slumber My people! The rooster crows and the earth stirs.
Wipe the sleep from your eyes. For the skies are already filled with angelic
activity. They stir the winds and usher the rain of My Presence. Rise early
and you shall benefit from the first bursts of My glorious Presence. The
amber rods will penetrate your soul and give strength for a new day.
Listen to the stirrings. Whispers soon to be shouts. A new day arising! A
new day birthing. The earth shall be filled with My glory and all mankind
will behold the desire of all nations.
“And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall
come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts. The
silver is mine, and the gold is mine, saith the LORD of hosts. The glory
of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD
of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.”
(Haggai 2:7-9)
My message begins July 25, about 2:30 in the morning at Winnipeg, Canada.
I had hardly fallen asleep when the vision and the revelation that God gave
me came before me. The vision came three times, exactly in detail, the morning
of July 25, 1961. I was so stirred and so moved by the revelation that this
has changed my complete outlook upon the body of Christ, and upon the end-time
ministries.
The greatest thing that the church of Jesus Christ has ever been given lies
straight ahead. It is so hard to help men and women to realize and understand
the thing that God is trying to give his people in the end times.
I received a letter several weeks ago from one of our native evangelists
down in Africa, down in Nairobi. This man and his wife were on their way
to Tanganyika. They could neither read nor could they write, but we had been
supporting them for over two years. As they entered into the territory of
Tanganyika, they came across a small village. The entire village was evacuating
because of a plague that had hit the village. He came across natives that
were weeping, and he asked them what was wrong.
They told him of their mother and father who had suddenly died, and they
had been dead for three days. They had to leave. They were afraid to go in;
they were leaving them in the cottage. He turned and asked them where they
were. They pointed to the hut and he asked them to go with him, but they
refused. They were afraid to go.
The native and his wife went to this little cottage and entered in where
the man and woman had been dead for three days. He simply stretched forth
his hand in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and spoke the man’s name
and the woman’s name and said, "In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
I command life to come back to your bodies." Instantaneously these two heathen
people who had never known Jesus Christ as their Savior sat up and immediately
began to praise God. The spirit and the power of God came into the life of
those people.
To us that may seem strange and a phenomenon, but that is the beginning of
these end-time ministries. God is going to take the do-nothings, the nobodies,
the unheard-of, the no-accounts. He is going to take every man and every
woman and he is going to give to them this outpouring of the Spirit of God.
In the book of Acts we read that "In the last days," God said, "I will pour
out my Spirit upon all flesh." I wonder if we realized what he meant when
God said, "I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh." I do not think I fully
realized nor could I understand the fullness of it, and then I read from
the book of Joel: "Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the
Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will
cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain
-" (Joel 2:23). It is not only going to be the rain, the former rain and
the latter rain, but he is going to give to his people in these last days
a double portion of the power of God!
As the vision appeared to me after I was asleep, I suddenly found myself
in a great high distance. Where I was, I do not know,. But I was looking
down upon the earth. Suddenly the whole earth came into my view. Every nation,
every kindred, every tongue came before my sight from the east and the west,
the north and the south. I recognized every country and many cities that
I had been in, and I was almost in fear and trembling as I beheld the great
sight before me: and at that moment when the world came into view, it began
to lightning and thunder.
As the lightning flashed over the face of the earth, my eyes went downward
and I was facing the north. Suddenly I beheld what looked like a great giant,
and as I stared and looked at it, I was almost bewildered by the sight. It
was so gigantic and so great. His feet seemed to reach to the north pole
and his head to the south. Its arms were stretched from sea to sea. I could
not even begin to understand whether this be a mountain or this be a giant,
but as I watched, I suddenly beheld a great giant. I could see his head was
struggling for life. He wanted to live, but his body was covered with debris
from head to foot, and at times this great giant would move his body and
act as though it would even raise up at times. And when it did, thousands
of little creatures seemed to run away. Hideous creatures would run away
from this giant, and when he would become calm, they would come back.
All of a sudden this great giant lifted his hand toward the heaven, and then
it lifted its other hand, and when it did, these creatures by the thousands
seemed to flee away from this giant and go into the darkness of the night.
Slowly this great giant began to rise and as he did, his head and hands went
into the clouds. As he rose to his feet he seemed to have cleansed himself
from the debris and filth that was upon him, and he began to raise his hand
into the heavens as though praising the Lord, and as he raised his hands,
they went even unto the clouds.
Suddenly every cloud became silver, the most beautiful silver I have ever
known. As I watched this phenomenon it was so great I could not even begin
to understand what it all meant. I was so stirred as I watched it, and I
cried unto the Lord and I said, "Oh, Lord, what is the meaning of this,"
and I felt as if I was actually in the Spirit and I could feel the presence
of the Lord even as I was asleep.
And from those clouds suddenly there came great drops of liquid light raining
down upon this mighty giant, and slowly, slowly, this giant began to melt,
began to sink itself in the very earth itself, and as he melted, his whole
form seemed to have melted upon the face of the earth, and this great rain
began to come down. Liquid drops of light began to flood the very earth itself
and as I watched this giant that seemed to melt, suddenly it became millions
of people over the face of the earth. As I beheld the sight before me, people
stood up all over the world! They were lifting their hands and they were
praising the Lord.
At that very moment there came a great thunder that seemed to roar from the
heavens. I turned my eyes toward the heavens and suddenly I saw a figure
in white, in glistening white - the most glorious thing that I have ever
seen in my entire life. I did not see the face, but somehow I knew it was
the Lord Jesus Christ, and He stretched forth His hand, and as He did, He
would stretch it forth to one and to another, and another. And as He stretched
forth His hand upon the nations and the people of the world men and women
- as He pointed toward them, this liquid light seemed to flow from His hands
into them, and a mighty anointing of God came upon them, and those people
began to go forth in the name of the Lord.
I do not know how long I watched it. It seemed it went into days and weeks
and months. And I beheld this Christ as He continued to stretch forth His
hand; but there was a tragedy. There were many people as He stretched forth
His hand that refused the anointing of God and the call of God. I saw men
and women that I knew. People that I felt would certainly receive the call
of God. But as He stretched forth His hand toward this one and toward that
one, they simply bowed their head and began to back away. And each of those
that seemed to bow down and back away, seemed to go into darkness. Blackness
seemed to swallow them everywhere.
I was bewildered as I watched it, but these people that He had anointed,
hundreds of thousands of people all over the world, in Africa, England, Russia,
China, America, all over the world, the anointing of God was upon these people
as they went forward in the name of the Lord. I saw these men and women as
they went forth. They were ditch diggers, they were washerwomen, they were
rich men, they were poor men. I saw people who were bound with paralysis
and sickness and blindness and deafness. As the Lord stretched forth to give
them this anointing, they became well, they became healed, and they went
forth.
And this is the miracle of it - this is the glorious miracle of it - those
people would stretch forth their hands exactly as the Lord did, and it seemed
as if there was this same liquid fire in their hands. As they stretched forth
their hands they said, "According to my word, be thou made whole."
As these people continued in this mighty end-time ministry, I did not fully
realize what it was, and I looked to the Lord and said, "What is the meaning
of this?" And He said, "This is that which I will do in the last days. I
will restore all that the cankerworm , the palmerworm , the caterpillar -
I will restore all that they have destroyed. These, my people, in the end
times will go forth. As a mighty army shall they sweep over the face of the
earth."
As I was at this great height, I could behold the whole world. I watched
these people as they were going to and fro over the face of the earth. Suddenly
there was a man in Africa and in a moment he was transported by the Spirit
of God , and perhaps he was in Russia, or China or America or some other
place, and vice versa. All over the world these people went, and they came
through fire, and through pestilence, and through famine. Neither fire nor
persecution, nothing seemed to stop them.
Angry mobs came to them with swords and with guns. And like Jesus, they passed
through the multitudes and they could not find them, but they went forth
in the name of the Lord, and everywhere they stretched forth their hands,
the sick were healed, the blind eyes were opened. There was not a long prayer,
and after I had reviewed the vision many time in my mind, and I thought about
it many times, I realized that I never saw a church, and I never saw or heard
a denomination, but these people were going in the name of the Lord of Hosts.
Hallelujah!
As they marched forth in everything they did as the ministry of Christ in
the end times, these people were ministering to the multitudes over the face
of the earth. Tens of thousands, even millions seemed to come to the Lord
Jesus Christ as these people stood forth and gave the message of the kingdom,
of the coming kingdom, in this last hour. It was so glorious, but it seemed
as though there were those that rebelled, and they would become angry and
they tried to attack those workers that were giving the message.
God is going to give to the world a demonstration in this last hour as the
world has never known. These men and women are of all walks of life, degrees
will mean nothing. I saw these workers as they were going over the face of
the earth. When one would stumble and fall another would come and pick him
up. There were no "big I" and "little you," but every mountain was brought
low and every valley was exalted, and they seemed to have one thing in common
- there was a divine love, a divine love that seemed to flow forth from these
people as they worked together, and as they lived together. It was the most
glorious sight that I have ever known. Jesus Christ was the theme of their
life. They continued and it seemed the days went by as I stood and beheld
this sight. I could only cry, and sometimes I laughed. It was so wonderful
as these people went throughout the face of the whole earth, bringing forth
in this last end time.
As I watched from the very heaven itself, there were times when great deluges
of this liquid light seemed to fall upon great congregations, and that
congregation would lift their hands and seemingly praise God for hours and
even days as the Spirit of God came upon them. God said, "I will pour my
Spirit upon all flesh," and that is exactly this thing. And to every man
and every woman that received this power, and the anointing of God, the miracles
of God, there was no ending to it.
We have talked about miracles. We have talked about signs and wonders, but
I could not help but weep as I read again this morning, at 4 o'clock this
morning the letter from our native workers. This is only the evidence of
the beginning for one man, a "do-nothing, and unheard -of." who would go
and stretch forth His hand and say, "In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ,
I command life to flow into your body." I dropped to my knees and began to
pray again, and I said, "Lord, I know that this thing is coming to pass,
and I believe it's coming soon!"
And then again, as these people were going about the face of the earth, a
great persecution seemed to come from every angle.
Suddenly there was another great clap of thunder, that seemed to resound
around the world, and I heard again the voice, the voice that seemed to speak,
"Now this is my people. This is my beloved bride," and when the voice spoke,
I looked upon the earth and I could see the lakes and the mountains. The
graves were opened and people from all over the world, the saints of all
ages seemed to be rising. And as they rose from the grave, suddenly all these
people came from every direction. From the east and the west, from the north
and the south, and they seemed to be forming again this gigantic body. As
the dead in Christ seemed to be rising first, I could hardly comprehend it.
It was so marvelous. It was so far beyond anything I could ever dream or
think of.
But as this body suddenly began to form, and take shape again, it took shape
again in the form of this mighty giant, but this time it was different. It
was arrayed in the most beautiful gorgeous white. It's garments were without
spot or wrinkle as its body began to form, and the people of all ages seemed
to be gathered into this body, and slowly, slowly, as it began to form up
into the very heavens, suddenly from the heavens above, the Lord Jesus came,
and became the head, and I heard another clap of thunder that said, "This
is my beloved bride for whom I have waited. She will come forth even tried
by fire. This is she that I have loved from the beginning of time."
As I watched, my eyes suddenly turned to the far north, and I saw seemingly
destruction: men and women in anguish and crying out, and buildings in
destruction.
Then I heard again, the fourth voice that said, "Now is My wrath being poured
out upon the face of the earth." From the ends of the whole world, the wrath
of God seemed to be poured out and it seemed that there were great vials
of God's wrath being poured out upon the face of the earth. I can remember
it as though it happened a moment ago. I shook and trembled as I beheld the
awful sight of seeing the cities, and whole nations going down into destruction.
I could hear the weeping and wailing. I could hear people crying. They seemed
to cry as they went into caves, but the caves in the mountains opened up.
They leaped into water, but the water would not drown them. There was nothing
that could destroy them. They were wanting to take their lives, but they
could not.
Then again I turned my eyes to this glorious sight, this body arrayed in
beautiful white, shining garments. Slowly, slowly, it began to lift from
the earth, and as it did, I awoke. What a sight I had beheld! I had seen
the end-time ministries - the last hour. Again on July 27 at 2:30 in the
morning, the same revelation, the same vision came again exactly as it did
before.
My life has been changed as I realized that we are living in that end time,
for all over the world God is anointing men and women with this ministry.
It will not be doctrine. It will not be a churchianity. It is going to be
Jesus Christ. They will give forth the word of the Lord, and are going to
say, I heard it so many times in the vision and according to my word it shall
be done.
Oh, my people. listen to me. According to my word, it shall be done. We are
going to be clothed with power and anointing from God. We won't have to preach
sermons, we won't have to have persons heckle us in public. We won't have
to depend on man, nor will we be denomination echoes, but we will have the
power of the living God. We will fear no man, but will go in the name of
the Lord of Hosts.
As I was reading the above Tommy Hicks vision I was shocked to see the part
about the liquid light. Why was I shocked? Just tonight, I saw while praying
in the prayer room, rain coming down that looked like droplets of light.
Then I saw it come down in sheets of light. Then the many different sheets
were brought together until they formed a great Niagara Falls of liquid light
coming down. The liquid light seemed to be some how liquid love. I then saw
the Niagara position itself directly over Cornerstone Church. The church
was dwarfed by the size of the Niagara.
I saw this picture of God and He surrounded the earth and His face was in
front of the earth. Then I heard these words...."I the Lord have taken a
big breath and we are in the time between the inhale and the exhale. I am
going to blow upon the earth a mighty wind those that are firmly rooted will
stand, those that are not will be like a tumble weed blown about." I saw
a picture of this dry tumble weed rolling over the land in the wind. Then
I heard...." I will purge My church in this way. "
Next I saw this picture of an intense rain, a deluge. I heard...." Then will
come a mighty rain, a flood this time not to destroy mankind but to redeem
it. There will be an outpouring of My Spirit on the earth. I will call all
men to me."
As I was hearing and seeing all this, I got this intense feeling of God pleading
with the church to come out of its complacency. To repent and dig those roots
down deep which only comes through intimacy with God. He loves us so much
and he wants us to withstand the mighty wind but it is our choice to press
in or be a dried out tumble weed.
I had a most awesome experience where in a vision I felt the Lord literally
fill my lungs with His breath. In the vision I took a deep breath and
could feel His mighty wind rushing past my nostrils and down my throat. He
opened my ears and I heard its very loud sound as it rushed into my lungs.
As my lungs filled, it took several minutes to fill them to capacity.
I could feel the Lord's Presence as this occurred and thought what
a mighty pair of lungs He has! When I finished inhaling, I held it
a brief moment. He opened my eyes and I gazed at multitudes of little
blue and pink baby carriages. Each baby carriage carried a baby wrapped
very snugly in a blue or pink blanket with a matching blue or pink milk bottle.
My heart was filled with such tender feelings and a great nurturing
for these babies. I started to exhale upon them, gently at first.
Like feathers in the wind, these babies arose and were carried upon
the breath of God. Still exhaling, I watched them with float ever so
gently upon the breath of God. The breath grew stronger and they flurried
around like snow flurries in the wind. This vision seemingly lasted
a very long time as His exhale continued to blow.
When I came out of the vision I understood these were the children of the
great harvest yet to come. When these people are "reborn" of His Spirit,
He will raise them up, feed & nurture them, cover them with the protection
and warmth of His Presence, and carry them above the surrounding circumstances
by pouring out His Spirit. He has such great love for us!!
A few weeks back, I had a full colour, full motion, open vision of rain.
The rain was coming down so hard that the water had no chance to drain away,
and the force of it was such that it appeared to be "boiling" as the drops
hit the standing water. There was such a wonderful sense of cleansing and
refreshing, like the rain had been falling for quite a while, and where it
had no place to run away to, it was pouring like rivers down the streets.
There were great gouts of water coming up from the drains as they had been
flooded, and the water was clean and pure, with none of the expected mud
and debris that you would expect.
What I sensed God saying is that He is going to pour down such a measure
of His cleansing anointing and refreshing presence that it will overflow
every obstacle, will cleanse and purify every place, including the deep,
hidden ones in the church where harmful deposits have built up unnoticed
and ignored, then it will flow into the streets, to the broken, the prodigals
and the unsaved, and it will be clean, no longer tainted by man's religion
and unholiness.
Since being on the ministry team at a Paul Cain conference in Jan 98, there
have been several times that I have experienced the Lord's anointing in an
unusual way. When I am walking, my legs feel like they are literally
walking through water. I used to do water aerobics, and I know the
muscles and feeling of what it is like to walk through water. Several
times, including another Paul Cain conference on 11/5/98 and then again at
a Reed Grafke (Paul's assistant for many years) conference in Grants Pass,
Oregon, I have experienced this exact thing. It is as though
my legs are plunging through water in order to move forward. My leg
muscles really labor and I can hardly walk, but I manage to eventually get
where I want to go! This is an actual literal experience.
Because this has happened several times, and this last time it was even harder
to walk in this "current", I began to question the Lord what this occurrence
was as I had not heard of anyone experiencing this. The Lord suddenly
quickened Ezekiel's vision to my heart and I understood that I was literally
experiencing the river of God. When I thought back in hindsight, I
realized this was exactly the case as each time I had experienced it, it
was more and more difficult to walk through this "water" and seemed as though
the water was deeper each time. My last experience on 1/14/99 there
were moments it increased to thigh deep waters. I believe the Lord
is using this as a sign to tell us where we are at in the going forth of
His Spirit, according to Ezekiel's vision.
NKJ Ezekiel 47:1 Then he brought me back to the door of the temple; and
there was water, flowing from under the threshold of the temple toward the
east, for the front of the temple faced east; the water was flowing
from under the right side of the temple, south of the altar. 2 He brought
me out by way of the north gate, and led me around on the outside to the
outer gateway that faces east; and there was water, running out on the right
side. 3 And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand,
he measured 4 Again he measured one thousand and brought me through the waters;
the water came up to my knees. Again he measured one thousand and brought
me through; the water came up to my waist. 5 Again he measured one thousand,
and it was a river that I could not cross; for the water was too deep, water
in which one must swim, a river that could not be crossed. 6 He said to me,
"Son of man, have you seen this?" Then he brought me and returned me to the
bank of the river. 7 When I returned, there, along the bank of the river,
were very many trees on one side and the other. 8 Then he said to me:
"This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the valley, and
enters the sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed. 9 "And it
shall be that every living thing that moves, wherever the rivers go, will
live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters
go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the
river goes.
UPDATES
HEARD 2/01/06: Commitment. It’s
beginning to rain.
============
2/05/06 We attended a conference
where Mahesh Chavda delivered a corporate Word.
Mahesh said that he felt the Lord
told him that this year, 2006, would begin a special 100
year visitation, because He comes in various seasons or
cycles, or periods of time. In context, Mahesh said
that he believed we were going to have a re-visitation
of the Azuza street revival from 1906, only this time it
would be a double portion. As Mahesh asked the Lord to
confirm him that he had understood correctly, the Lord
brought him some interesting confirmations, as follows.
============
In the spring of 2005, a headline read, “The 100 year
Bloom.” It was in Death Valley and was about the 100
year rain. They had so much rain that it brought out
flowers from seeds that had not germinated in 100
years. This was due to the rains penetrating down into
deeper layers before. This was particularly quickened
to me because I have been constantly hearing the Lord
tell me the Word "deeper" which I have tagged for 2006
and beyond.
Mahesh also mentioned a headline that read, “100 snow.”
I don’t remember where he saw that. I thought it was in
the North Carolina area, but not sure.
Someone else mentioned that we had a 100 year rain.
When my husband looked up the facts on the internet for
Oregon, 1996 was actually the 100 year rain and that was
the year the rivers flooded. If it had risen 11 more
inches, our home would have been flooded. We live right
at the mouth of where 2 rivers join. We received
promises at that time to wait for the huge spiritual
rain that would be coming.
Mahesh said that he felt Oregon would have a big part in
the second Azusa revival.
The next day as I was in line at the conference to be
prayed for by Mahesh, I heard the Lord say quite clearly
to me, "Oregon, I will be with you." It impacted my
spirit that this was His promise that He truly would
re-visit us with His healing and deliverance in a
massive wave that we have been standing for. He
reminded me that Katheryn Kulman’s roots were in Albany,
and in our town too, and in other parts of Oregon. It
was a encouragement to hang onto our promises and wait
for the healing and restoration that He has said would
come. In the mid 80's I had many, many visions of His
rain coming as in the book of Acts. For those who would
like to read that rhema, please see the following link.

portion rain coming, please click on this 21 page file I

PAST
WORDS TO PONDER ABOUT THE RAIN
RAIN 1991
Is My arm short that it would not
extend to perform My Word? Behold, I will do it. The
clouds are full and heavy laden... Suddenly, and all at
once, a mighty downpour. My Spirit shall gush forth to
those in waiting. I shall pour out My Spirit upon all
flesh. Those whom I have prepared and am now drawing,
shall receive My mighty anointing, and go forth as My
touch. I will rain on you, and I will use you to rain on
others.
Have you not read it? Have you not
heard it? My early and latter rain will come suddenly...
That which I have spoken in My Word shall come to pass.
This rain has long been spoken of. Indeed, since time
began I have prepared for this hour. I have long awaited
this generation. Those whom I have prepared are
prepared. You only await My filling, My Holy anointing.
Do not say I AM weak and but a child. I delight in weak
vessels. If you are willing, I choose you to fill. I
will equip you with purpose and with gifts to go forth,
to flow as water. You will be My arrow. - You will be My
mighty arm extended. You will be the army of dry
scattered bones, that only My resurrection power will
make to stand. A flowing army; one arrayed for My
purpose, for this hour.
Do not think "impossible" for I AM
the Lord your God, and I do valiantly. Wait on Me, seek
Me above all else. For when I rain, it will come in a
mighty gush. Prepare even now. I have spoken it.
"...His going forth is prepared
as the morning; and he shall come unto us the rain, as
the latter and former rain unto the earth." (Hosea 6:3)
NEW DAY 7/23/91
Shout it from the house tops. Make
merry and be glad! A new beginning do I declare. For
your shame, you shall receive everlasting joy upon your
heads. Rejoice, for I come to refresh.
Listen for the rain. Long I have
waited to pour Myself out upon you. First the fire,
then the rain. I held back until the fire did its
cleansing work. As Elisha declared make this valley
full of ditches in preparation for the coming water, so
I declared righteousness and mercy must be sown through
the breaking of fallow ground. Rejoice, oh meek ones!
The preparation is complete. Your hearts are soft and I
turn My face toward you.
I earnestly seek you. My heart is
drawn toward you and I will draw your heart toward Me.
This is not a work you can do in yourself. I alone do
the drawing. Only be tender and soft to respond when I
call. I shall woo your heart and place My longings
within you. I will create in you a hunger for My
Words. I have a hunger to hear you.
A new season is knocking on your
door. Resurrection! Awake, oh sleeping ones. Open
your ears and hear, open your eyes and see, open your
heart and receive the resurrection of My Spirit within
you. Awake, arise. Stand to your feet! Rejoice, for
it is the dawning of a new day.
Mercy, mercy. Declare mercy to My
people. The burning of the fire, the sifting of the
plow, the dryness of famine, all shall be quenched as I
pour Myself upon you. Your ground shall be settled and
planted with the rains. I will confirm your way with
the nearness of My Presence. Rejoice, My fair ones, for
the drawing has begun.
“Behold I will do a new thing; now
it shall spring forth...” (Isaiah 43:19)
