The Vision God Gave Me...(Part 4)......deno......please share freely.

        As I descended at an angle towards the pulpit praying or speaking in a language that I did not understand, that man behind the pulpit looked up and saw me coming. I was gazing at him and he was looking at me. Seeing me coming to that pulpit he took a step to his right and when he was moved to the right, the Lord flew me right behind that pulpit from that vaulted ceiling height, and  landed me on my feet perfectly facing the packed congregation that I was shortly before taken from in the beginning of the vision. Now remember, I was and had been watching all this take place from my Vision view point in the balcony. 
      After I landed behind that pulpit right next to that man that I knew not, God moved me from the balcony Vision view point. In the wind of His Power I flew from the balcony and ended up floating off the ground face to face to myself that was now behind the pulpit. About 15 to twenty feet away from myself behind that pulpit I was looking at me face to face. With the people in the balcony and with the people in that congregation I was watching and waiting to see what might happen next. It was then I heard coming out of my mouth behind the pulpit some alarming words that to be honest with you at the first I was not sure how to take them. Those 5 words speak volumes for the times we are in today. These 5 words came forth out of my mouth. Before God I lie not....They were ....THESE ARE THE LAST DAYS...Thats all I preached. It was short and simple but directly to the point of Gods purpose.
      After watching and hearing me say that,  God did something different. Remember how I am watching me face to face about 15 to 20 feet away? After preaching from behind that pulpit to myself and to those in the balcony and to those in the congregation that THESE ARE THE LAST DAYS, God took of His Wind and Power and flew me toward the me that I was watching in the vision behind the pulpit. In the power of God the Vision me entered the preaching me that I was watching that was behind that pulpit. We two became One.
       It was much later that the Lord opened my eyes and shared with me what that meant when the vision me became one with the preaching me in the vision and that by His Uniting POWER. He said, what you saw there and in that connection of the vision you, with the preaching you, was that there was going to come a day when you and that vision would become one and the same in real life.  Wait on the Lord for this. Preparation and purging's must be made first. This is not of you, but of Me. You will feel totally helpless without Me and My Spirit. Some are confident in themselves. Some are confident in their God.
         You see Jesus said the Holy Spirit would SHOW US THINGS TO COME. That means personal things as well as other things. God has always prophesied future things, and future events of His people and in the right time the prophesied event or thing, and the one the prophesy pertained to, they two, the word of the prophecy and the life and flesh of the one the prophecy pertains to, they come together and they are made to match as one so that the scriptures (the foretold thing) would be fulfilled and come to pass. I did not know or understand this at that time of the vision. It was later God opened my eyes to see it....scroll down.

        After the (vision me that was watching all this take place) entered by the Power of God into the (preaching me) that I had watched preach about the last days, another chapter of the visions purpose I entered shortly there after. God does these kinds of things of His Grace with purpose and with purposes. It is not to amuse or to entertain. God always has His Plan and His Purpose. ...I will continue this in the next writing in part 5...God Bless You in Jesus Name......deno.....please share freely.

The Vision God Gave Me (Part 3)......deno.....please share freely.

        As I continued this upward flight, not knowing where I was going to end up in this, I became more and more aware of Jesus. I thought that maybe I was about to see the Lord even face to face. I did not know, but I did know that something of the Lord was happening to me, but where he was taking me in this I had no idea. I was not in control of any of this. The Father who lives within us-ward who believe, He was doing the work according to His plan and according to His purpose......
       As I was ascending upward in this what I thought to be was flight, I was crying out, Im trusting you Jesus, Im trusting you Lord. Im trusting you Jesus, Im trusting you Lord. Over and over I kept saying those simple trusting words. I had to trust Him. I was being lifted upward and I was not in control at all. My mind would think out loud and I could hear my thoughts so loud as I wondered about all this that was going on. You know it is strange how we can act all powerful and all in control as long as we are in control and as long as we are calling the shots, but friends when you experience something like what I was experiencing in this grace and you realize how totally helpless you are to do anything, you will either enter into the beauty of faith or the dread of a real FREAK OUT in fear. Well thank God the hidden man of my heart took me over and thank God when I was afraid, I was trusting in the Lord.
       Higher and higher I felt myself going upward. In the body or out of the body, as Paul experienced, I could not tell. It seemed as if I was in the body. As the power of God lifted me higher and when I entered the thought that maybe I was just about to see the Lord, suddenly I stopped going upward and I was in like a waiting there moment in the Power of the Lord wondering what was the next thing to happen. It was at that moment that heavenly type of veil that had been blinding my sight was taken away from my eyes and in as fast as the twinkling of an eye, I was in a VISION given me from the Lord.           As I said earlier I thought that maybe I was about to see the Lord face to face, but that is not what happened at that time.  When my eyes were opened to the Vision of the Lord of that which he wanted me to see, at the moment my eyes were given sight again, I found myself located in the balcony of a huge church. My vision sight position was this. If you were a preacher in the pulpit and you were behind the pulpit preaching a sermon, you would see me in the balcony to your right standing there looking at you.  So in the balcony I was on the left side looking at the people in the balcony to my right and I would look down at the people in the pews below. The church building balcony and below was packed. A preacher was behind the pulpit. A choir behind him. An organist and a pianist on both his sides. To me all of this was live. Everything I was seeing in this Vision looked as real as real life. It is amazing what the Spirit of the Lord can do. Those people in that balcony were to me real as cloths and all flesh and blood. Had I been able I could have pulled up the very hairs on their arms. That is how physically real everything looked to me as I gazed at them and at every material thing in that church building in the Power of the Spirit of the Lord that I felt all thru the Vision.
       As I was standing there pondering what all this meant I noticed also that the church had a high vaulted ceiling, very high vaulted ceiling. I looked at it. I looked at all the people. A church service seemed to be going on. That's when something strange took place. As I was looking at the lower congregational area that was filled with people, I suddenly notice a person floating up from within those people from the pews below. That person began to float up right out of his pew as if he was in slow lifting flight. Then it was then that I noticed who that person was, and to my own amazement I noticed that that person was me. I thought, Lord what in the world is going on here. Now this captured my personal attention as it would you as well if you had seen yourself in a vision doing that. I thought Lord what does this and all this mean?
       Friends I kept my eyes fastened on me as some how I was being lifted up from the congregation below upward until I reached the very top of that vaulted ceiling. I noticed when I arrived there that I stayed there for a brief moment. Then as I was watching this happen from the balcony view point where my eyes first opened in the Vision, another strange thing happened. I saw myself up there at the top of that vaulted ceiling turn and look down at the pulpit where that man of God was standing behind and below. Then I saw myself begin to descend at an angle from that vaulted height toward that pulpit. Folks before God I lie not. As I was descending at an angle towards that pulpit, this boy raised baptist began to pray or speak in a tongue that was not English. To me it was an unknown tongue/language but the way that I was praying or speaking forth that language you would have thought I knew that language. It was flying out my mouth like a machine gun targeted with purpose. But  even to this day I do not know what I  was praying or speaking as I descended at an angle from that vaulted ceiling to that pulpit that God was driving me to. 
    Note this......I assure that I was not driving myself there to that pulpit.  For since the day my mom told be at the age of 17/18 that one day in my latter years that I would preach the gospel folks I RAN from the idea of that in sweat and from fear and in trembling. I want go into all that right now for times sake. But to me, for me and myself to ever get behind a pulpit and preach in front of people folks it would have to be an ACT OF GOD and HIS POWER. Mom use to tell me my shyness in those days was because I had SHYBLOOD....I used to cry about that in those days. I use to say to God, God that is not fair. Mom and dad and others tell me Your going to call me to preach someday and you stick me with SHYBLOOD so that I nearly faint at the thought of speaking in front of people. I cried and cried about all that. Well more on that maybe another time. Back to the Vision....I will end this part 3 right here...Remember I don't want to lose this writing like I did earlier and have to go re type it all.....See you soon.....deno.....please share freely.

The Vision God gave me (Part 2)....deno.....please share freely.

      As I mentioned in the preface of the Vision in PART ONE, the Lord had opened my eyes and shared with me how that those 24 elders (that had built for them by God Himself) 24 thrones to sit upon round about the THRONE OF GOD, how that those people earned their places in glory thru choice, love, devotion, commitment, loyalty to the Lord thru the thick and thin, when it was popular and when it was not, THEY REMAINED STEADFAST AND SOLID IN SERVING THE LORD. In times of ease and comfort as well as in most trying times they served the Lord faithfully and did not deny His Name no matter the course of the world. 
     These 24 elders on those thrones of honor, their hearts affections were SET ON THINGS ABOVE where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Jesus and serving Him WAS THEIR FIRST LOVE and daily delight. They brought forth much fruit not of the will of the world, not of the will of man, but of God. Each one of them one day CHOSE, DECIDED to serve Jesus and commit their life and way unto him. They put their hands to the plow of that commitment and to the calling of God and stayed looking unto Jesus the author and the finisher of their faith. Friends you can do the same. It's a choice.
       Well as I was deeply that day pondering such things, I thought to go lay down on my bed and rest awhile. I got up from my study desk and stretch out on my bed lying on my back. I was thinking of those 24 elders and those 24 thrones and other similar things...Then it happened. That which I did not expect happened and when it did I found myself in the Spirit of the Lord and His awing Power.
       I was laying there on my back when all of the sudden the Power of God and His Spirit came upon me. It was the most powerful experience that I have ever had with God. I have had from time to time, had certain grace experiences with the Lord but this one topped all the previous ones to date. When Gods Power came upon me I suddenly lost sight of the room I was in. My eyes became full of the power of God. My whole entire being became full of the power of God so much so that it felt like my every single cell was fully baptised in the Spirit of the Lord with tangible to the touch Power. God was the one in the control of this experience and for His reason He made sure I felt His Power flowing thru me during the entire experience and vision that was just ahead.
      When I tell you that I could not see the room that I was in I was not kidding. I could not even see my hands 5 inches in front of my face. Me and my whole room was buzzing with the Power of God. It was the most awesome feeling. What I did see when His Spirit came first upon me looked sort of like a TV station when it loses its signal and all you see are those millions of beady looking things glistening on the TV screen. And as for as feeling the Power. Recall with me when the women with  the issue of blood touched the helm of the Lords garment. What did Jesus say of that touch? He said that HE FELT THE POWER OF GOD FLOW FROM HIM....Well for some reason God was allowing me to FEEL THAT VIRTUE OF HIS FLOWING. It was one of the greatest feelings in my life that I have ever felt.
        Before I go further into sharing this experience with you I want you to know that I just wrote a whole lot more of this grace to share it with all of you and my PC AGAIN went crazy and I lost all that i just wrote. (FRUSTRATING). Seems like every time I sit down to share this vision and grace some weird things occur esp to my PC.
        It is like several months ago a man was coming over to my house to set up on by website the way so that my verbal sermons could be listened to on my website by others. Well on his way here he was in a car wreck and his vehicle totaled.
       So here I go again to complete this writing. And please please remember that I am nothing and I am not writing any of this so that you might think of me above what I am. I'm a man who has sinned maybe as much as all the manifold common sins of this generation. But I do have this in me. A planted in me burning desire to understand what has happened to us as believers in Christ and to our nation America? 
      Why and how has the name of the Lord Jesus Christ that our dad preached for the last 50 plus years, become a name of offense for so many in this In God We Trust Nation when for centuries it was all together POLITICALLY CORRECT  to believe on and call upon the Name of the Lord in America in every town, city, village, government platform, and state. Did Jesus wrong us to cause us to turn away from Him as the government has in this nation? Why do so many now fight against His Name and good news? Why do people fight to keep the Name of the Lord from being spoken publicly and His ways shut out of the public squares and His commandments out of the hearts of the children of this generation, when for centuries it was a joy and an honor to do so even in EVERY SCHOOL AND MOST EVERY UNIVERSITY FOR GENERATIONS  in America? 
       Sinners are called by God to seek after Him. That qualifies us all (including me and those like me) to the calling of seeking and you shall find. Jesus said, WHOSOEVER will let them come and drink from the waters of life freely....Well whosoever means whosoever. You, me and everyone.
        Folks when you see that your in a moral ditch personally and nationally, it's time to cry out unto the Lord. It does not take an Einstein to realize our nation is in trouble, serious trouble, and see that our morals have become the way old Rome when Rome fail, and of the lovers of pleasures, and of the ways of darkness more than the ways of God and love for the Lord. 
         Well in this Power of the Lord I felt the Spirit of Gods power flowing all thru me. It was literally the feeling like unto a rushing mighty wind flowing in all kinds of directions thru me. Round and round, up and down. this way, that way. It seemed as if it was flowing even thru the circulation path of all my veins of flowing blood. As I was tasting all this glory and grace I never lost self consciousness so to speak. I could think with my own mind and ponder and reason everything that was happening to me with my own soul and heart.
                                        *   *   *   *   *   *   *
          As I was in the feel and the taste of the Power of the Spirit which taste lasted all thru the Visions duration, I was free to think for myself, however my movements were under Gods control. I could not just get up and take off running away from the Lord. God had gripped me. I knew I was in His Hands. With the Power of the Spirit of the Lord flowing all thru me in all kinds of circulating type directions I suddenly noticed that the Power that was flowing all over the places within me suddenly shifted and moved like gears of machinery suddenly engaged to cause purposed forward movement. When this happened, I began to ascend in an upward motion. I thought I was literally floating upward, higher and higher, being lifted up in the Hand of the Power of God. As I was going thru this ascending feeling I could see nothing. My eyes were still in this strange glistening sight similar to a TV that suddenly loses its signal and goes off station and all you see are those millions of beady glistening things floating all around. In this blind sight, and in this ascending movement these words came crying out of me from the child like spirit within my heart. I began to say out loud, Lord Jesus, Im trusting you Jesus , Im trusting you Lord. Im trusting you Jesus, Im trusting You Lord. That's all I was saying and in the Power of God, not knowing what was about to happen to me I kept crying out those child like faith words. (What would you have done?).
      As I continued this upward flight, not knowing where I was going to end up in this, I became more and more aware of Jesus. I thought that maybe I was about to see the Lord even face to face. I did not know, but I did know that something of the Lord was happening to me but where he was taking me in this I had no idea. I was not in control of any of this. The Father who lives within us-ward who believe, He was doing the work according to His plan and according to His purpose......Continued on the next part of this writing in Part 3. I don't want to lose this writing in my PC again. So I will go ahead and publish this part 2 now.....thank you for your patience.....deno.......share freely.

       

The Vision God gave me beginning (Preface-Part 1)....deno....please share freely.

     During a time when I was spending much time seeking God and studying His word, I was hanging around the verses in the book of Revelations that spoke of the 24 elders that sat on thrones round about the throne of God (Rev 4:4). During this focus the Lord shared with me how these men EARNED THESE positions by their dedication, loyalty, and by their commitment to the works God called them to in Christ. All are called he said. The whole world has been invited and each persons response is fully noted and fully measured for the advantages of gain or for the discomforts of loss.  He shared with me how each one of them (each one of those 24 elders sitting on those 24 thrones of high in heaven honor) how they like all of us have,  had the freedom to follow the Lord, follow Him CLOSELY, whole heartedly,  fully devoted, near my God to Thee, or lukewarmly, slightly committed, at a distance or even to walk away. The choice like always WAS THEIRS. They chose to love, to serve, and to live SO SO SO CLOSE to the Lord while on the earth and that committed love life carried on into their eternity still so close to Jesus around the THRONE OF GOD.
      CHOICE, CHOOSING. It has always been that way, even from the beginning until this day, God says to us all, Choose, Choose, Choose you this day whom you will love and serve. They (those 24 highly honored elders on those thrones next to Jesus in glory....note the word seats there in the greek is the word THRONES) they chose life and blessing and not the path of death and of cursings. With all their heart, thru the thick and thru the thin THEY CHOSE to LOVE, SERVE AND OBEY GOD no matter what happened in this world. Hated or loved, their hands remained on the plow of their work and faith in the Lord.
         They to, by life or under drawing away alluring's of this world and life, they could have said the cost is to great and served themselves in this life instead of Jesus. Or in diverse temptations they could have resisted the devil and resisted the world and CHOSE to live all for the truth, or to hide their light under a bushel and just come out on Sundays or just on religious days, or that they could have in fear hid that which was invested unto them from the Lords hand, but instead they gave Jesus their all and fullest devotion and brought forth much much fruit that endured into eternities life and glory unto great reward. And that their thrones round about the throne of God signals to all for all their eternity of their great reward. For how they greatly loved and served God and men in His Sons Name Jesus Christ.
       Church, these 24 thrones, these positions Jesus wants us all to know THEY WERE EARNED. These positions were appointed to those who the Father said in His divine searching of what was in the hearts of men were worthy of such high honor and reward in the paradise of God. That each one of them on their own had to one day DECIDE to live and follow and serve the Lord so dearly. Friends God has proven and has always allowed man to choose for himself who he will obey and serve. This is truth. This is scriptural. This has always been even in the garden of Eden.
       Acts 2:17) And it shall come to pass in the LAST DAYS saith the Lord, that I will pour out of MY SPIRIT upon all those who believe in every nation on earth. By My Spirit saith the Lord, your sons and daughters shall proclaim my message. Your young men shall have VISIONS and you older men shall have DREAMS from the Spirit of the Lord.

     That evening some of that scripture we just covered in Acts was going to come to pass in my life. Why me? The Lord only knows. There certainly is nothing special about deno. I'm as strange as they come yet so accustomed to the sins and the ways of our nation today. I to have often strayed off the path of righteousness. I to have been tempted and many times fallen in the temptations. My life has been a life of almost dabbing into everything just to see and experience it's high or it's common thrill. Yet this one thing I did have going for me. I had two believing Jesus loving parents that loved me and prayed for their son often and that in tears. Plus God, the God we all in Christ are in awe of and more learning to love and to serve, HE HAD HIS AGENDA and PLAN. He has His plan for me. He has His plan for you, and He has His plan for us all as One in Christ.
     That evening He was going to do something of His grace that would be sown in me until the day of it's showing in accordance to His divine timing and plan.  Truly I can say, I am nothing without Christ and if I do become anything for His honor and glory in this generation I am what I am and I become what I become ALL BY THE GRACE AND SPIRIT OF THE LORD. For folks I do not have anything naturally special in me. I have to have Gods grace and power and He working in me mightily or the tree is less barren of  the fruit. 
      Grace, Grace Gods Grace, Grace that is greater than me and all my sins....It is not those that commend themselves who are anything, but those whom the Lord calls, the Lord qualifies, and the Lord himself commends and anoints. Remember with me when it came Moses' hour, Moses did not want the job. God had to encourage and convince Moses that he was the man.
       Friends so often it is men and women like that that spring up amongst us in this world who by God are full of grace, full of Gods power, gifts, talents,  and gospel message. God chooses these type of people so that the excellency of the Power would clearly be of God and not of the natural talents in men....Friends I still tremble at the thoughts of this vision...deno....well I wrote this much thus far to hopefully let you see some of this grace and light i will be writing about of the Vision....stay tuned. I will continue this writing soon in part 2....deno...Jesus Is Lord and He is the reason for this season.....please share freely.

In the midst of the Crosses Pain......deno.....please share freely.

        In the midst of all the crosses pain, Jesus not once complained. When they spat on him and mocked him, he opened not his mouth. When they were driving those nails into his hands and into his feet Jesus never said please stop. When they hated him so much as to whip him and beat him unrecognizable and crucified him,he never doubted his calling, he never doubted his sonship place, for he cried Father. When all had forsaken him and when all the world stood before his blood pouring out all over the place and said to him, He saved others, let him save himself now. If he be the son of God let him now come down off the cross that we may believe. Jesus never looked to others to assure himself of who he was in God and in all that pain and suffering Jesus never doubted nor questioned the fathers love. But he did say Father, forgive them, they are blind. They have no idea what they have done. They are the lost...Forgive them....
      When Jesus came into our world he knew the world would not know him and that his own flock were blind to who he really was. He knew that most of the world would despise and hate him, yet he gave his life for their salvation anyway. Friends as rewarding as it is for us to submit and to serve God, following Jesus in this world will have its positive and negative prices. For three years Jesus rejoiced and laughed often in the Holy Spirit with his disciples. But the persecution was also a thorn and the day of the Cross like fire.....deno.....please share freely....

        Always remember the positive and the negative prices in following Christ. That way when the thorn that persecutes appears and the Cross comes, you will be mentally prepared and you know that it is all together (in this life) included in the cost for submitting and serving Jesus in this present evil world that is more and more being filled up with the spirit of AntiChrist...

Of Jesus they said....Behold, the whole world has gone after him......deno.....please share freely.

       As much as the left strive to silence our Constitutional and Biblical Voice they cannot. They tried to silence Jesus by the way of a Cross and he rose back up and was heard by ALL THE WORLD. His Truth and Voice went from that Cross in Jerusalem to the ears and hearts of billions and billions all over the 4 corners of the earth. 
      Just like those that opposed Jesus in their day. They tried and tried and tried to shut him up and silence his message and stop his influence in their society....But eventually they thru up their hands in defeat saying, Behold, the whole world has gone after Him.

       God in Jesus Name, make it so again in America.....with repentance and faith in Jesus Christ no matter how the left and no matter what all Christ enemies strive to do to silence his voice, his message,  and his influence in our hearts and in this nation, cause this whole nation to go for Jesus Again and find Him afresh and new in their hearts and lives and having fresh free course in our nation unendingly..Heal us and our nation Father in Jesus Name Amen.

A lesson from Babe Ruth......deno.....please share freely

      Just because we strike out from time to time does not mean we are not Home Run hitters. Babe Ruth like struck out more than anybody but he did not let those strike outs discourage him from going at it again to hit the BIG ONE. Because of that he is remembered for leading the league in HOME RUNS season after season for years.
      So you have struck out a few times. That same bat is going to hit you a HOME RUN soon. One is just around the corner. Get back up, be filled with hope, and swing having faith in God WHEN YOU PRAY......Jesus loves you.....deno.

Jesus said, Men should always pray and faint not. We having a real and living hope in Christ Jesus. BATTER UP.
