Yesterday while prayerfully asking the Holy Spirit if He had a message for the Church at large, the following Words were spoken: “FEAR THE LORD.”

The Lord is our “friend” in so many ways and is approachable at all times, yet too many Christians do not have, and/or have lost holy reverential fear of Him. Many even try to mold Him to their own fallen image instead of molding themselves to His. It’s tragic and very sad.

“For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.” (Ps. 103:11)

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge but fools despise wisdom and instruction.” (Prov. 1:7)

In Christ, SilverRose

APOSTLE PETER:

I was next drawn to read into the Book of Peter on the related subject. This Apostle speaks of the importance of being regenerated through the Word of God. In his exhortations, he provides important prerequisites to receiving Jesus’ revelations. He explains the requirements of discipline and conduct. He calls us to be mindful, sober, hopeful, obedient, and holy. He goes on to explain the importance of drinking scriptural milk like a newborn Christian. With that in mind, I am moved to share the following vision. In this vision, I see someone wounded and in a hospital bed. In real life he is intelligent and is well acquainted with the meat of scriptures. But in the vision he could not hold down the milk, it went right through him like an open faucet and spilled to the floor (Heb. 5:12-14). He looked up and lamented: “I don’t want to die!” Without doubt, this poor man desperately needed to get back to the basics of salvation in order to avoid spiritual death. I felt moved to post this vision because many are in this dangerous predicament. In brief, we learn from Apostle Peter the importance of walking the walk before we can run and soar with the Lord’s Revelations:

 “Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST. As obedient children not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance. But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation. Because it is written, Be ye holy, for I am holy. And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of person judgeth according to every man’s work, pass the time of your sojourning here in fear. Forasmuch as you know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your Fathers. But with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world but was manifest in these last times for you. Who by him do believe in God that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory, that your faith and hope might be in God. Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. For all flesh is as grass and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withered and the flower thereof falleth away. But the Word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the Word which by the gospel is preached unto you. Wherefore laying aside all malice and all guile and hypocrisies, and envies, and all evil speakings. As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby. If so be ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious. “ (1 Pet. 1:13-25 Cf. 2:1-3)

Like Apostle Paul, it is essential that we remain true to the calling of the Lord’s revelations despite all the conflicts, persecutions and situations that may arise. Like Apostle John we also need to remain receptive [and discerning] to revelations not always disclosed in Holy Writ. And as Apostle Peter disclosed, it behooves us greatly to adhere to proper conduct that is expected of GOD’s servants. The Lord has generously stacked the grocery shelves with fresh revelations. And as His servants, it greatly behooves us to partake of these divine revelations for GOD’s glory, not ours, and for the edification of His Church. Importantly we need to remember that we are first and foremost the Lord’s servants, and that we are accountable to Him before anything and anyone else. It’s a long and difficult marathon of a race but we should be heartened knowing that He will give us all the equipment and provisions needed to complete it when we respond to His call.

In Christ, SilverRose 

In a vision early this morning I saw suspended in the air a white sign with the following written Words:  THE REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST. Next a supermarket aisle appears. As far as the eye could see, food and grocery items are stacked on the left and right side. A sign hung overhead; it read:  SERVANTS OF GOD COME HERE. [End of vision]

The first sign confirms that GOD’s divine will and truth is disclosed or revealed to His servants through the Lord Jesus Christ, and the second sign confirms that GOD’s servants recognize Him as the Word and only source of all revelations and provisions. While thinking about the vision some more this morning, I opened the good book and was drawn to the writings of Apostles Paul, Peter and John.

APOSTLE PAUL:

 Apostle Paul often affirmed in his letters that he did not receive his gospel from man, he confirmed that it was divinely disclosed to him by the risen Lord:

“But I certify you brethren that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. For I neither received it of man neither was I taught it but by the REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST…..But when it pleased God who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace. To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen, immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood: Neither went I up to Jerusalem to them which were apostles before me, but I went into Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. (Gal. 1:11-17)

The dramatic Damascus experience which resulted in Paul’s powerful and miraculous conversion was the rich fertile road that paved the way for his convictions, qualities of his faith and his gospels.  Many theologians and bible scholars have difficulty understanding Paul’s experience because there hardly exists other parallels involving such a sudden and complete personal and spiritual reversal. This explosive experience changed Paul or Saul so dramatically that many remained at odds with him. He knew the importance of listening to the Lord’s utterances rather than to confer with “flesh and blood” and continued pressing on. He found himself in untoward, hostile and dangerous situations with the Jewish and Roman authorities, Jews and Gentiles, including his contemporaries, but still he pressed on. This dedicated Apostle, who was born out of time, was in the world but was no longer of it. In him, we see the importance of hearing and listening to the Word and Lord against all odds, and to press on!

APOSTLE JOHN:

In the Book of Revelation, Apostle John also declared receiving “REVELATIONS OF JESUS CHRIST”.  The symbolism and content of his work involves freedom of expression and symbolism beyond what is written elsewhere in the New Testament. In John we learn, once again, that divine revelations are disclosed through Jesus Christ. In one of his earlier epistles, he taught that the world itself could not contain all the books that should be written of Jesus’ accomplishments on earth. (Jn. 21:25) Consider how awesome and enlightening it would be if these missing works were disclosed to the Lord’s servants! With the Lord, all is possible.       

“THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass: and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John. Who bare record of the word of God and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.” (Rev. 1:1-3)

“GO BEYOND THE CLUTTER”   [Spoken Words:  March 26, 2009]

Love In Christ, SilverRose 

Message for the Church:

I feel moved to post the following vision as it complements what was spoken this morning.

A few months ago I saw Jesus standing above my headboard dressed in a long white robe. His beautiful brown hair with reddish, golden highlights skirted His shoulders.  What looked like vibrational rays of Light flowed from each of His hands.  Then at one point, He pointed up towards the ceiling with His index finger and said: “I HAVE TO GO UP.” After He left I wanted to shout: “No, Lord, please don’t go yet, come back!” but instantaneously understood that I couldn’t, that it was something He had to do.  

This morning the following Words were spoken: “GO BEYOND THE CLUTTER.” The Lord is calling His people to reach up to where He is by rising above the worries and clutter of this world. He wants us to “GO BEYOND” everything and anyone….. that blocks or stops us from going higher.  These words encourage us to go beyond the tripping and stumbling blocks. Nothing of this world is more important than responding to the call to go higher in Him.

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father’s house are many mansions, if it were not so, I would have told you, I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself that where I am there ye may be also. And wither I go ye know, and the way ye know. Thomas saith unto him, Lord we know not whither thou goest and how can we know the way? Jesus saith unto him, I AM the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the Father but by me. If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also, and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. “ (Jn.14:1-7)

To Be Continued…

The Lord is encouraging the Church Body to “SURRENDER” to Him. As One who has received GOD’s Spirit without measure, He wants, in turn, to quicken us to eternal life. No other has gone to the universal Cross of Redemption on our behalf but the first begotten Son. No other has been so unfathomably empowered by GOD the FATHER on earth, under earth and in Heaven but the Son. (Mat.28:18). No other can bring us into Oneness with GOD the FATHER but the Son. Certainly, there is no other but our Beloved Lord Jesus the Christ.

Time waits for no one. We are being encouraged and urged to give up, abandon and relinquish the strongholds of the flesh. Lets detach ourselves from all that keep us earthbound and lets become Kingdom bound instead!  

“The words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father the hour is come, glorify thy Son that thy son also may glorify thee. As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” (Jn. 17:1-4)

“All things are delivered unto me of my Father, and no man knoweth the Son but the Father, neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son and he to whosoever the Son will reveal him. “COME” unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me: for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. (Mat.11:27-30)

“SURRENDER.”  [Spoken Word: March 22, 2009]

In Christ, SilverRose 

During prayer this morning, I asked the Lord what message He would give to the Church at large.  Almost immediately I heard: “AWAKE.” While thinking about exactly what the Lord wanted written, the following Word was spoken: “THE BIBLE.”

The Lord wants His Church Body, on an individual level, to become introspectively aware and cognizant of that which keeps them asleep in sin, which is also biblically synonymous with death.  Studying “THE BIBLE” will help us zone in on our sinful errors so they can be corrected, to know GOD, to know Christ and to follow Him. The Holy Writ’s divinely-inspired Words will also provide us with the spiritual tools needed to effectively prepare and respond to the Lord’s AWAKEing Call. A call, that when sounded at the 7^th and last trumpet, will, in less than a nanosecond, transform our mortal bodies into glorious spiritual bodies so quickened as to defy the natural laws of this world:

“Awake to righteousness, and sin not: for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come? Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened except it die. And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain. It may chance of wheat or of some other grains. But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body. All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption: it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor: it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness: it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul: the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howebeit that was not first which is spiritual but that which is natural: and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of that earth, earthy. The second man is the Lord from heaven. As it is earthy: and as it’s the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say brethren that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, either doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I show you a mystery: We shall not all sleep but we shall all be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound and the dead shall be raised incorruptible and shall be changed. For this corruption must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. O death. Where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God which giveth us the victory through Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” (1 Cor. Chapter 15)

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first.” (1 Thess. 4:16)

“And I saw another mighty angel come down from heaven, clothed with a cloud and rainbow was upon his head, and his face was as it were the sun, and his feet as pillars of fire. And he had in his hand a little book open: and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth. And he cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth: and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices….But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets. (Rev. 10:7)

“LOVE THEM” [Spoken Word: March 19, 2009]

“But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again: and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. Be ye therefore merciful as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and ye shall not be judged, condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned, forgive, and ye shall be forgiven. Give, and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give unto your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” (Lk. 6:35-38)

“RETURN” [pause] “COME BACK TO THE LORD” [pause] “HEART” [pause] “OTHERS”  [Spoken Words: early morning hours of March 17, 2009]

The Holy Ghost is telling GOD’s people to not let themselves become distracted and misled by what is happening on “the outside.”  He is telling us to RETURN to the Lord, to “WAIT” [Spoken Word: March 16, 2009] for Him in the chambers of our HEARTs because that is where He will meet us.  He is also telling me to tell OTHERS to return to Him.

“And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy strength, this is the first commandment.” (Jn.12:30)

In a recent dream, I looked outside through a window  and saw a dirty red dragon ”hatching” eggs on an electrical power line. The first one disappeared and a second dragon (which appeared to have hatched from the eggs) emerged.

Interpretation:  Negative influences are being hatched and ”conducted” via the electrical/electronic power lines.  Beware!

“Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh, and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand. Stand therefore having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness. And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace. ***Above all taking the shield of truth, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation and the Sword of Spirit which is the Word of God. PRAYING always with all PRAYER and supplications in the spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.”*** (Eph. 6:11-18) 

“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan which deceiveth the whole world, he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” (Rev. 12:8)
