Pictures and Visions

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day. Thank you for your love and for allowing me to walk with you each day. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning son. Welcome to the club this morning and thank you for walking with us and sharing all your thoughts. We too want to share our thoughts with you, because we love you.

Children, I have spent time you talking about the need to be still before me and to wait and listen to me. Today I want to talk to you about seeing things with your mind's eye! Visions and pictures.

Visions have been a part of mankind's experience of me since the earliest times. If you look closely at your thinking processes, you will find that a very great deal of it is pictorial. Not many people think in words only, and amongst those who do, most are actually suppressing the visionary side of their mind! Visions and pictures are a very important part of human life, and are essential to communication. It has been said that, "One picture is worth a thousand words." Looking at it from another perspective, it could be said that, "There are not enough words to describe what you see in one glance."

In holy scripture, you will also find pictures and lots of visions. Both in the Old Testament and the New, visions played an important part in the sharing of My message. It wasn't just holy men and women, who saw visions and dreamed dreams. Indeed, I have often used visions and dreams to get through to people who don't know me. A vivid dream or vision is a very disturbing thing, for one who doesn't have the means to interpret or understand what he is seeing. That is why the great king of Assyria called upon Daniel to interpret for him, and Pharaoh called on Joseph. So ingrained into Peter's tradition was the idea of what is clean or unclean, he would not have listened to me if I had just told him to go with Cornelius; he would have excused himself, saying that he had just imagined that it would be all right. So I had to use a vision or waking dream to convince him.

There are other ways I use pictures. For example the stories that Jesus told all paint a picture in the mind, Indeed many of the events in his life are like a series of pictures. The feeding of the 5,000, the stilling of the storm, the lost sheep. This is why the world is full of beautiful art works depicting the events and stories in the life of Jesus. This is why you teach your children with pictures, before you clutter their minds with writing.

In your western civilisation, for the last few hundred years, as a child grows up, and moves into adulthood, he is encouraged, often forced, to discard picture books, and move on to the written word. He is almost encouraged to forget pictures altogether! This trend is slowly reversing with the increase in comics, glossy magazines, TV and movies.

Unfortunately, there are also a large number of such publications and media, which depict 'adult' and 'violent' themes, which poison the mind. Thus, the idea that seeing pictures in the mind and visions in the night, can be related to real life and be a means of communicating with me, is still largely taboo.

I used visions and pictures first. Indeed I invented it! Satan has dared to hijack my most vivid form of communication, and has frightened my people into being cautious. Children, I don't want you to be afraid of visions and dreams. I gave you inner sight and the ability to see life in pictorial form. I can, with one brief picture, flashed into your mind, tell you something that would take a whole book to describe in words!

In these days I want you to open your spiritual eyes and see the things I want to show you. By seeing, you will understand and so hear what I am saying to you, though not in words! So listen to me with both your inner ears, and your inner eyes. Do not be afraid to share what you see with others, that you may all come to understanding. I want you also to take very seriously those to whom I have given the gift of putting vision on to paper or into print. This is a gift from me, as important today as any other manifestation of Prophecy.

Children, learn from me how to see, hear and understand. Learn how to interpret what you see. This you can only do by staying close to me and waiting on my Holy Spirit. Let my voice ring in your ears, "Son of man, what do you see?" I love you children, stay close to me.

See Me at Work

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day. Thank you for all you have done for us and your constant love and guidance. I commit this day to you. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning Martin, thank you for your company this morning and for walking with us. We will always be there for you and will always love you. Stay close and watch me work. ............

.......... My children, lift up your eyes and behold what I am doing in this age. Open your spiritual eyes and see me, for I am working in places you do not think of or expect me to be working. Pray for spiritual discernment to see things not usually seen and invisible to secular man. I am working in people's lives in ways you never dreamed of, touching their lives with flashes of inspiration and revelation. I am teaching people to know me where other teaching methods have not touched them. I am working in the minds and hearts of young and old alike. I speak to those with little ability and I speak to the confidant and able.

As your open eyes behold those I am working with, be ready to build up and encourage all whom I send to you. I am starting with those around you, those whose lives are already touching yours. But as you grow more aware and more confident, I shall bring to you those whom you do not know, some from far afield and many from overseas. Treat them all the same, and share my love with them. Do not withhold the good news out of fear of rejection. Be bold and strong and very courageous, for the work is mine and I want you involved.

Share with others all that I am showing you. Build one another up in faith. Do not be afraid, for I am with you and cover all you do in my Son's name. Let your light shine and the gospel blaze across the land, as I fulfil my word and accomplish my work in your midst. I love you.

Risky Love!

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day. Thank you Lord for the birds waking up in the hedgerows and the dawn lightening the sky, for the peaceful business that starts each day. Thank you for our time together and for all you show me. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning Martin. Thank you for joining us this morning, and appreciating all the many things we have made for your enjoyment. We love you too.

Today I want to talk to you about my love for all people. People often ask, 'How can a God of love, love evil people as well as good? Is he condoning the evil as well as the good?' Or they ask, 'How can God love little me when he has so many others to love as well?' This last one is often linked with a disbelief that I can hear everyone's prayers all the time, even when people all over the world are praying at the same time!

We the simple truth is that I am aware of the heart beat of the tiniest creatures that I have made, and can hear their cry as clearly as the cry of the elephant or the roar of the lion. I am also aware of the sounds of a mighty star as it explodes into  trillions of tiny pieces, and I know where each particle of dust will eventually come to rest. The reason I know these things is that they are all a part of my creation.

I want you to think for a moment on this: When a man thinks he has created something it is because he has taken material, already provided, and has re arranged, joined and combined it. He has tooled and shaped and laboured until the original material is hidden by the new shape and purpose of 'his creation'! However, when I create I start with no material at all! Not even the smallest particle or electron, nothing! From the concept of the idea in my mind I begin creation of the very atoms and molecules I need. I create even the basic laws of chemistry, physics, mechanics and all the many other sciences man hasn't even begun to discover yet. My mind is always working on new ways to create and make new things.

Man was one of my earliest ideas. Put in human terms, so you can begin to understand it, I created man because I wanted to express the love that was welling up inside of me. What would it be like to have a created being that was able to love me back? Not because I made him to love, but because he wanted to love me of his own free will.

Mankind is incredibly complicated in every part. He is not just an animal, which is also incredibly complex, for he is able to be self aware beyond the capability of animals. He also has to contain and be totally integrated with the spiritual side of life where I live. Man is even more complicated than the angels, for they live totally in the spiritual world. The material world is not, as many suppose, separate from the spiritual world; it is contained within it. We are fully aware of the material world on a scale you cannot yet conceive, but we do not live within the material world as you do.

I do however know what it is like to be material, for I have placed myself in every man. And I came myself in the form of Jesus to dwell with you and be a man. In Jesus I experienced the full range of human experience and emotions. I felt all the things you feel, and was for a time limited as you are limited. Though in Jesus I was fully aware of the spiritual life, I was still tied to the body and the world, until released from it by my death and resurrection.

Every time you pray to me I am aware of your entire being. Not just the words of your prayer but all the emotion, love, and concern you have. I am aware of the chemical and electrical changes that happen in every cell of your body as you pray, and though you may not be fully aware of it, spiritually we become one.

Again, speaking in terms you can understand, every night while you sleep, your mind, which is like an interface between you physical self and your spiritual reality, downloads all the experiences and events of the day. Having deposited it with me, your mind then archives it in memory for later recall. At any time in your life you can recall that memory, but with my help you can also relive that day. Don't worry about this. It is far more complicated than I have told you and is securely in my hands. It all has to do with the simple law of nature that I created, where time is contained within creation. Yes, time is also a creation, and is bound by laws I created. I live outside of this restriction, so I am able to be aware of all time at once, and all people at once. Thus, when you pray I know your prayer even before (in time) you ask it.

Just as you get excited when something you make goes right, so I also am excited by my creation, especially when the freewill side of things goes as I longed it would. I get excited because I love creation and I love mankind.

You can't imagine the risk love took in providing man with free-will! Satan, who is also a creation of mine, provides the alternative to my way. But I have built into mankind the ability to resist him and make the right choices. Everyone has that ability, even those who do evil things. I love the person I made with all these abilities. I will always love them! I do not love the choices they have made or the evil they do. I will do all I can, within the restraints of the free-will I have given them, to bring them back to me, because I love them. I also love those who never do evil, and who love me back. They delight my heart always. Those who stay close to me and do my will, will begin to move on to the next stage, which is exploring all that is in my mind. Those who do evil cannot go down that road, for it is hidden from them by the blindness of their own eyes.

Oh I do love you all so much!

Me: Thank you Lord. I love you so much too!

The Gifts of My Spirit

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new and beautiful morning. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning Martin. Welcome to the 5 O'clock Club this morning and thank you for joining us on our tour of the estate. We love you too.

I want you all to get to know My Spirit, for in the days to come you are going to need My Spirit with you all the time, working closely with you, and directing your pathway. It is through My Spirit that you are able to take up the battle cry Jesus is Lord! Let My Spirit be in your speaking. Commit every word you say to me and let My Spirit put the words into your mouths. As you allow the Spirit to speak through you, you will begin to notice the prophetic nature of your words. It is the prophetic word, the word from me, that will break down the barriers the Evil One has built up, that keep the children of men from hearing me speak to them. The prophetic word will smash through those barriers and speak comfort to those who tremble and are afraid.

It is My Spirit who gives you all the gifts and tools that you need in ministry. It is My Spirit who equips you to walk the Christian walk. Out of my store house He gives the very latest and most advanced tools to help you break down the works of the Evil One, and build up and strengthen the faint hearted.

It is through My Spirit that I dispense wisdom and knowledge. Notice how I group those two gifts together! Wisdom gives you the ability to use knowledge and to discern truth. When mankind stretched out his hand and took the fruit of the tree of knowledge, he acted without wisdom. Wisdom helps you to use and understand knowledge. The gifts that I give through My Spirit are very special and the wisdom I give is not worldly wisdom, but divine. Into a specific situation I will drop a word of wisdom or a work of knowledge. Use them carefully and in a timely way. By that I mean use them when I direct. Speak into the appropriate moment, for my words are spoken into the 'now!' An undue delay can mean that the word loses its power, because the moment has passed. So exercise wisdom as you speak the word of knowledge.

My Spirit also distributes the gift of faith. Now here I am not speaking of the faith to believe in Jesus, although that is also given by me. No, this is a specific gift, given by My Spirit to those who already believe in me. It gives to the receiver the ability to hold on and believe for, the things he cannot see, the things others hold as impossible. That is why I am linking faith with  gifts of healing. One of the reasons the church does not see as much healing as I want to perform, is that it lacks the faith to ask! I want all my children to have the faith to ask me, and to believe that I hear every prayer, for it is when the church believes that I am Almighty, that miracles and healing follow.

Healing is a special gift. Those who deliver the gift of healing exercise faith, while not being the recipient. The gift is specifically for another, the one who needs healing. It is wrong to think of one person as a healer. Jesus is the healer, the Holy Spirit is the bearer of the gift, and one with faith delivers it. Sometimes it requires faith on the part of the receiver, but that is unusual. The main requirement of the one to be healed is that they are open to the love offered as the gift is given.

The ability to speak in other tongues and to interpret them is also a gift of My Spirit. Once again this should not be confused with the natural ability to speak in foreign languages. Speaking in tongues is directly related to speaking My Word. It may be used in prayer, or to deliver prophecy or wisdom, or on rare occasions it may be used to preach to a congregation who speak a different language. The gift of interpretation is specific to prayers and words given in tongues, and is not just the ability to translate other languages.

I want to deal lastly with distinguishing between spirits. The western world has largely ignored the spiritual realm for so long now, that it has forgotten that there is a battle going on all the time between good and evil. This battle takes place in the spiritual realm, because there are spirits of evil as well as the Spirit of God. Many things are spoken and done, not by the Spirit of God, but by the Spirit of Darkness. He can be very hard to distinguish because so much of what he says is lies that tickle the fancy. Some of his lies are what people think they want to hear. Distinguishing  the spirits is therefore a vital tool for all believers. When a voice inside you says, "Hey, hang on, that doesn't feel right," that is the moment to stop and re-evaluate the situation. You may think that sounds like conscience. Well it is. I put man's conscience there in the first place when I breathed into him the breath of life, so the God shaped bit of man responds to the gift of My Spirit.

In the coming months as I work in the world, all the gifts which My Spirit has distributed amongst believers will be needed. Accept them thankfully and learn from me how to use them. They all require an element of faith to use, but I have already supplied you with enough to use what I am giving. Be bold be strong, and be courageous. I am with you, Jesus is with you, the Holy Spirit is with you. We love you.
