I had a dream last night, April 19,2010. In this dream I was outside with family and friends having fun when I saw military planes flying overhead having wires attached to them that reached the ground and they were carrying a building. When the first building went up I commented to my friends that it looked like something out of star wars, this however, would be the first of many buildings that would be erected by the military. All the buildings seemed to be descending from the sky. In the next part of the dream we, including Debbie and me were inside the buildings that had been placed there by the military, We were in a room with other people and we were being held captive. We could not leave and any attempt to do so we would be facing guards with tasers. In one part of the dream I did try to escape through a doorway and as I jumped over the railing I felt a surge of electricity go through my legs and was told if I didn’t stop It would get worse. In the room that we were in there was a mother and daughter sitting next to us and the little girl had asthma. Her mother was out of her medication and was unable to get more for her. Debbie had a prescription that was not exactly the same as the little girl was taking but offered it to the mother. The next part of my dream I was in my kitchen of  the house in which I currently live only there were people there who did not belong there eating food that I had bought. I had no control over them being there. When we could go outside, it was much different than before. I saw statues of people  who looked like they had been shot. There was definitely the sense that we were no longer free. No one could leave. I then heard a voice saying, “America’s best days are behind her, she will be a weakened nation.

Yesterday, April 6, 2010, I had a word/impression that popped into my spirit. What I am feeling and I emphasize feeling at this point even though I  strongly feel that this is from the Lord, is that there will be 4 major earthquakes  soon to hit the state of California, and, they will be in sucsession. The damage will be great and the carnage as well will be great  like nothing ever seen before. What is happening in the physical, this shaking of the ground all over the world, is being mirrored in the heavens’. 

And His voice shook the earth then, but now He has promised, saying, “YET ONCE MORE I WILL SHAKE NOT ONLY THE EARTH, BUT ALSO THE HEAVEN.” This expression, “Yet once more,” denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
(Hebrews 12:26-27 NASB)

I saw a vision today. What I saw was out of Revelation 6:1-8. What I saw in the vision was the 4 horsemen as described in the verses I quoted. There were two very large angels facing each other each had a very long sword and their swords were touching each other. These swords were what I saw that was keeping the horsemen  from riding off. Of the four horsemen, the second one, the one riding the red horse who was given a great sword and to whom it was granted to take peace from the earth, stood out to me.

In light of recent events , I have been reminded of a dream I had approximately a year ago. In the dream I saw the United States as a puzzle board, like the kind some of us had when we were kids where we would start with an empty board that had the outline of the United states. Our parents would help us put all the states on the puzzle board until we had the continental 48 states. 

In this dream, I saw the United States in the form of a puzzle as mentioned above, I then saw states begin to disappear off of the puzzle board leaving a gap or space where the state had originally been which leads me to believe that civil war may be coming to this country once again.

Last year at the 4th of July celebrations, I had a distinct sense that this would be the last 4th that we would be celebrating as a United Nation.

Additionally, I have seen an angel with a drawn sword standing over the United States. My belief here is that this is a sword meant to bring division of the kind Jesus spoke of in Matthew 10:34-36 where He said , “   “Do not think that I came to bring peace on the earth; I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.
  “For I came to SET A MAN AGAINST HIS FATHER, AND A DAUGHTER AGAINST HER MOTHER, AND A DAUGHTER-IN-LAW AGAINST HER MOTHER-IN-LAW;
  and A MAN’S ENEMIES WILL BE THE MEMBERS OF HIS HOUSEHOLD”

 
We need to be praying for God’s mercy and grace in this hour like never before. We need to pray for our leaders that God would guide and direct them.

I believe that we are begining to see what was spoken of in Malachi 4:6 where the Lord said that the hearts of the fathers would be turned to the sons and the sons to the fathers, in other words, we are seeing the restoration of families which the simple church will facilitate. This is, I believe, the restoration of th…e family because it is the Father’s desire to save families. God said to Abraham, ” in you shall all the families of the earth be blessed”. When Jesus sent His disiples into a city, He said in Mat 10:12 “When you go into a house, greet the family” and again in Luk 10:5 “Whenever you go into a house, greet the family right away with the words, ‘May there be peace in this house.’” I believe that Jesus laid the groundwork for the day of Pentecost in the families He and His Disciples reached and these families provided the “netting” to catch the first 3,000 fish.

Mat 10:5 Jesus sent these twelve out with the following instructions: “Don’t go among people who are not Jewish or into any Samaritan city.
Mat 10:6 Instead, go to the lost sheep of the nation of Israel.
Mat 10:7 As you go, spread this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near.’
Mat 10:8 Cure the sick, bring the dead back to life, cleanse those with skin diseases, and force demons out of people. Give these things without charging, since you received them without paying.
Mat 10:11 “When you go into a city or village, look for people who will listen to you there. Stay with them until you leave that place.
Mat 10:12 When you go into a house, greet the family.
Mat 10:13 If it is a family that listens to you, allow your greeting to stand. But if it is not receptive, take back your greeting.
Luk 10:5 Whenever you go into a house, greet the family right away with the words, ‘May there be peace in this house.’
Luk 10:6 If a peaceful person lives there, your greeting will be accepted. But if that’s not the case, your greeting will be rejected.
Luk 10:7 Stay with the family that accepts you. Eat and drink whatever they offer you. After all, the worker deserves his pay. Do not move around from one house to another.
Luk 10:8 Whenever you go into a city and the people welcome you, eat whatever they serve you.
Luk 10:9 Heal the sick that are there, and tell the people, ‘The kingdom of God is near you!’
Luk 10:10 “But whenever you go into a city and people don’t welcome you, leave. Announce in its streets,
Luk 10:11 ‘We are wiping your city’s dust from our feet in protest against you! But realize that the kingdom of God is near you!’


Here’s what I am seeing here, Jesus sent his disciples into houses not synagogues. They were to say that the kingdom of God is near. They were to stay with any family that would receive them and were not to move around from house to house…thus they were building relationship. I believe that Jesus was laying the ground work for the day of Pentecost when the church would be born and why there was 3000 people saved and why they were able to meet in homes and have the Lords supper. Also I noted that Jesus said to his disciples, “when you go into a home, greet the family. Which is why Paul said to the Jailer that if he accepted Jesus he and his house would be saved, God moves in families.

Act 2:42  The disciples were devoted to the teachings of the apostles, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer.
Act 2:43  A feeling of fear came over everyone as many amazing things and miraculous signs happened through the apostles.
Act 2:44  All the believers kept meeting together, and they shared everything with each other.
Act 2:45  From time to time, they sold their property and other possessions and distributed the money to anyone who needed it.
Act 2:46  The believers had a single purpose and went to the temple every day. They were joyful and humble as they ate at each other’s homes and shared their food. This kind of unity happened because Jesus had laid the groundwork during His 3 years of public ministry instructing His disciples. This unity among believers was possible because whole families were saved and the believers were meeting and eating house to house.

Act 16:13 On the day of worship we went out of the city to a place along the river where we thought Jewish people gathered for prayer. We sat down and began talking to the women who had gathered there.
Act 16:14 A woman named Lydia was present. She was a convert to Judaism from the city of Thyatira and sold purple dye for a living. She was listening because the Lord made her willing to pay attention to what Paul said.
Act 16:15 When Lydia and her family were baptized, she invited us to stay at her home. She said, “If you’re convinced that I believe in the Lord, then stay at my home.” She insisted. So we did. Notice again that Lydia and her whole family were baptized and Paul and Silas were invited into her home, God’s desire is to redeem families. Remember that he said to Abraham, “in you shall all the families of the earth be blessed.

Jos 9:1 WHEN ALL the kings beyond the Jordan in the hill country and in the lowland and all along the coast of the Great [Mediterranean] Sea toward Lebanon, the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites heard this,
Jos 9:2 They gathered together with one accord to fight Joshua and Israel.
Jos 9:3 But when the people of Gibeon heard what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,
Jos 9:4 They worked cunningly, and went pretending(these are the people that need to be watched, they come looking like the real deal, know all the right things to say and, know the right people to talk to(leaders) and get close to) to be ambassadors and took [provisions and] old sacks on their donkeys and wineskins, old, torn, and mended,
Jos 9:5 And old and patched shoes on their feet and wearing old garments; and all their supply of food was dry and moldy.
Jos 9:6 And they went to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal and said to him and the men of Israel, We have come from a far country; so now, make a covenant with us. (Deu 7:2  And when the Lord your God gives them over to you and you smite them, then you must utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them, or show mercy to them. (so there was no need for a discussion nor an examination of the evidence presented by the Gibeonites . Because they choose to not obey nor inquire of the Lord concerning the Gibeonites they in turn were deceived and the deception led to rebellion )
Deu 7:3  You shall not make marriages with them; your daughter you shall not give to his son nor shall you take his daughter for your son,
Deu 7:4  For they will turn away your sons from following Me, that they may serve other gods; so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you and He will destroy you quickly.

Jos 9:7 But the men of Israel said to the Hivites, Perhaps you live among us; how then can we make a covenant with you?
Jos 9:8 They said to Joshua, We are your servants. And Joshua said to them, Who are you? From where have you come?There should have been no dialogue with these men it should have been simply stated ,”the Lord Said/ it is written/ Moses commanded us ” and that would have been that)
Jos 9:9 They said to him, From a very far country your servants have come because of the name of the Lord your God. For we have heard the fame of Him, and all that He did in Egypt, Jos 9:10 And all that He did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon king of Heshbon, and to Og king of Bashan, who lived in Ashtaroth. (Pro 26:28 A lying tongue hates those it wounds and crushes, and a flattering mouth works ruin. ) THIS DISCUSSION SHOULD HAVE NEVER TAKEN PLACE!!!!!!

Jos 9:11 So our elders and all the residents of our country said to us, Take provisions for the journey and go to meet [the Israelites] and say to them, We are your servants; and now make a covenant with us. (Those with bad spirits seek protection among leadership)
Jos 9:12 This our bread we took hot for our provision out of our houses on the day we set out to go to you; but now behold, it is dry and has become moldy.
Jos 9:13 These wineskins (bottles) which we filled were new, and behold, they are torn; and our garments and our shoes have become old because of the very long journey.
Jos 9:14 The men of Israel looked them over and accepted the evidence. But they didn’t ask GOD about it.
Jos 9:15 Joshua made peace with them, covenanting with them to let them live, and the assembly’s leaders swore to them.( In verse 14 it says that the men believed the evidence that was shown and Joshua (But they did not ask the Lord about it ) made a treaty with them allowing them to live . The Gibeonites played successfully upon the mercy & compassion of Joshua & the elders . )

Jos 9:16 Then three days after they had made a covenant with [the strangers, the Israelites] heard that they were their neighbors and that they dwelt among them.
Jos 9:17 And the Israelites set out and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kiriath-jearim.
Jos 9:18 But the Israelites did not slay them, because the leaders of the assembly had sworn to them by the Lord, the God of Israel, [to spare them]. And all the assembly murmured against the leaders. (these people were present when Moses spoke to the congregation of  Israel and gave instructions pertaining to the nations that the Lord was about to give them. The leadership brought this upon themselves by rebelling against the command given by the Lord through Moses)
Because they choose to not obey nor inquire of the Lord concerning the Gibeonites they in turn were deceived and the deception turned into rebellion . Furthermore, because this happened in the leadership , the principle of binding & loosing was in effect . They being leadership loosed the spirits of deception & rebellion into the congregation of Israel . This is evidenced by the fact that the nations that Israel was told to destroy they let live and these nations in turn enslaved Israel.
Jos 9:19 But all the leaders said to all the assembly, We have sworn to them by the Lord, the God of Israel, so now we may not touch them.
Jos 9:20 This we will do to them: we will let them live, lest wrath be upon us because of the oath which we swore to them.
Those the Lord places in positions of leadership have an awesome responsibility/accountability in that what they allow, they loose, and what they don’t allow , they bind. In any event, it is the congregation for whom they are held responsible by the Lord which will ultimately be affected.

2Co 11:3 But I fear lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve in his craftiness, so your thoughts should be corrupted from the simplicity( haplotēs- 1) singleness, simplicity, sincerity, mental honesty 1a) the virtue of one who is free from pretense and hypocrisy 2) not self seeking, openness of heart manifesting itself by generosity) due to Christ.

2Co 11:4 For if, indeed, the one coming proclaims another Jesus, whom we have not proclaimed, or if you receive another spirit, which you did not receive, or another gospel, which you never accepted, you might well endure these .
Is it possible that just as the bride of  Adam was deceived by the serpent, that the bride of Christ is being deceived by that same serpent.   Could it be as in Eve’s case that in her quest to become God Like and the Brides of Christ’s quest to become Christ Like that both have been deceived?   The result was that the knowledge of Good & Evil , a knowledge  that resulted in neither a knowledge of God nor did it make one God like. What it did was to enslave Adam & Eve into a system of rules, right and wrong, do’s and don’ts . The knowledge of Good and Evil does not give one life, it takes it away. To constantly be striving to do what is right and  so win the Father’s approval is the very thing that Christ abolished on His cross. Gal 3:13 Christ redeemed us from that self-defeating, cursed life by absorbing it completely into himself. Do you remember the Scripture that says, “Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree”? That is what happened when Jesus was nailed to the Cross: He became a curse, and at the same time dissolved the curse.   Gal 5:14 For everything we know about God’s Word is summed up in a single sentence: Love others as you love yourself. That’s an act of true freedom.
Gal 5:15 If you bite and ravage each other, watch out—in no time at all you will be annihilating each other, and where will your precious freedom be then? (remember, Galatians is about a people who began in the Spirit but quickly got sucked into the bondage of good and evil. Biting and ravaging is the result of the attempt to attain right standing with God through obedience to the law and through good works.Eph 2:8 For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God;
Eph 2:9 Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.] Eph 2:10 For we are His workmanship(poiēma-1) that which has been made
2) a work 2a) of the works of God as creator. Poiema is where we get our English word, “poem”, from. So, we are His poem.) , created in Christ Jesus to good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them. 
This is not only a hindrance to our relationship with God but with one another.We condemn ourselves for not measuring up and we condemn others for not living up to our standards.This guilt that we lay upon ourselves and others does the opposite of what we want it to do in that it drives us further from God and not closer to Him. Where we are deceived is that we fail to grasp/accept/believe the fact that God’s love is unconditional. There is nothing we can do to earn it and nothing we can do to loose it.Rom 7:22 For I delight in the Law of God according to the inward man;
Rom 7:23 but I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin being in my members.
Rom 7:24 O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? (we need to know that the answer to this question is Jesus and only Jesus. Paul realized that there was nothing he could do to change himself and that his only hope was Jesus.)
Rom 7:25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then with the mind I myself serve the Law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. It is in the knowledge and security of God’s unconditional love for us  that will ultimately change us and not our trying to earn it through works.)Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Rom 8:39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Gal 5:16 My counsel is this: Live freely, animated and motivated by God’s Spirit. Then you won’t feed the compulsions of selfishness.
