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.

Jesus IS Lord!

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

Lord: Good morning son. Thank you for joining us this morning and for giving us your worship. We do love you with all our heart. Stay close to me.

Vision: The sky darkens and a storm is brewing. The birds hush their songs and the animals of the hedges run for cover. The clouds race to cover the moon and all is dark! As the darkness falls,so the noise of the wind becomes a mighty roar, and all that is in the open bends to its dance.

In spite of the wind, I hear a song, sweet and melodious, carried on the wind, yet rising above it. It is the song of the children of God, worshipping! So sweet, so beautiful. It is as though thee songs have take wings, and are flying above the storm, and rising to the very throne room of Heaven.

I looked and in the darkness I saw a light. It glowed with a bluish light which seemed to penetrate the darkness like a knife. It came from a ledge, protected by an overhanging rock on the sheltered side of a mountain. As I drew nearer, I could see that the light and the song both came from a group of people, who were totally at peace with their Maker, and unafraid of the dark or the storm. There was no fire around which they gathered, either for light or warmth, yet there was a warmth emanating from each of them, and they glowed with an inner light. In their midst, the storm made no noise and could not even ruffle a hair of their heads

As I listened, I heard the words of their song, for they sang with one voice:

    Jesus is Lord of all,
    Jesus is the King.
    Jesus the Son of God
    Died for you and me.
    Jesus I love you,
    Worship and adore.
    Help me to love you, Lord,
    More and more.

Then I was carried on the wings of their praise until I found myself in a great throne room, filled with living creatures great and small. The song I had heard was being sung by all the living creatures, and was directed at One who sat upon the throne. At the end of the song, a mighty shout was heard in Heaven, "Jesus IS Lord!" At the sound of that cry, the darkness lifted, and the Earth was bathed in light. I saw that from many places on the Earth, groups of people were coming out of their shelters and looking heavenward. Then they too, with a cry that shook the whole Earth, shouted with one voice, "Jesus IS Lord!" And the Earth was once again filled with the sounds of creation. The birds sang, insects buzzed and children laughed as they played. The trees rustled in the breeze, and the rivers sang as they flowed over stones and pebbles. The whole Earth was filled with the music of creation praising her Creator.

    Jesus IS Lord!

Go Where I send You.

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day. Thank you for your love to us and for holding us in the hollow of your hand. I love you Lord.
Lord:    Be still and watch. I am God and I accomplish what I desire. It is mine to work and mine to complete. Be still and watch as I work.

Vision: I saw what at first looked like a disc with a very bright centre. Then it seemed as if I was travelling towards the disc at great speed, and I saw that it was a huge crowd of people, all facing the centre where, one stood, who was clothed in raiment so bright, it shone like the sun, yet I was not dazzled. When He spoke to the crowd, everyone could hear him, even those who seemed so far away on the edge of the disc. Apart from the voice of the one in the centre, all was silent.

Lord: Children gather around, turn to me, and let me show you mysteries and truths to warm your hearts. I am in the midst of you, and while your eyes are focused on me, no harm shall befall you. I want you around me in a circle. I do not want you in rows of straight lines like soldiers on parade, where all you can see, is the back of someone's head. I want you around me, where, as you look to me, you can also see the faces of your brothers and sisters.

On the Christian walk you are not alone. You are part of a great multitude that no man can number, a multitude of those who all accept my Son, and know me, through Him. I know the name of, and everything about, all those who make up the great multitude. You are my children and I love you.

As you gather around, you will notice that even though there are so many of you gathered, you are always in the front row. You will also notice that I am always speaking as though you were the only person present. Yet it is the same for everyone gathered. Do not worry about the workings of it. Just accept that I love you, and you have a personal direct contact with me!

As I speak with you I want you to listen and feast on every word. I use that expression, 'feast on every word', because I want you to digest my word as though it was food. Let every morsel become a part of who you are. Take my word with you wherever you go, draw on the strength it gives you as you follow the commands that I give you.

There will sometimes be many days when all you seem to do is feast on my words, and action seems scarce. This is part of the plan. The work I am doing in these days requires that my children are well fed on my word, and well equipped with the armour and equipment of the Holy Spirit. So use these times to train, and become familiar with all the gifts of the Spirit. Watch me working through others, and observe how I have used my children in former generations. Watch and pray that you do not fall into temptation.

Live at peace with all those who are called by my name. Let there be no strife among you. Unite in my name to share the good new and gather in the harvest. Divisions are part of the world. You are a part of my family, part of my Kingdom, where all are brothers and sisters and all are united in me. Just as the Godhead is one in unity, so too my church shall be one in unity and love.

Vision: I looked and I saw that the multitude had turned from the centre and were moving out from that place. The bright one was no longer in the centre, but before every person in the gathering. Where he went they followed, each in their own direction.

Lord: When I spoke to the multitude I was giving instructions to each individual at the same time. To one it was to go North, to another South. Each one has a unique and special mission and ministry, which will take them all in their separate direction. But they do not go alone, neither are they separated from their brothers and sisters. I go with them and lead the way, and always the rest of the Church, my body is supporting and upholding them. In their turn they too uphold and support the rest of the body.

Each ministry and mission of my choosing is upbuilding for the whole church. Each word of mine spoken by groups or individuals is like a brick laid in the wall of the city of God. Each word must be delivered in love, as it was delivered to each person by me. After each mission, and constantly throughout each ministry, return to the centre for refreshment and a fresh word. This is not your work, to be going off where you want. It is my work, and is to the people I send you with my word for them. Speak only the word I give you for each situation.

Rejoice and be glad as you watch me work. For, in the days to come you will all see many mighty and mysterious things, as My Holy Spirit works amongst you. I love you my children.

As I looked, I saw...

Me: Good morning Lord. Thank you for waking me this morning and for this new day you have made. Thank you for your love to us. I love you Lord.

Lord: Good morning Martin. Welcome to the club this morning, and thank you for walking with us. We love you too.

Vision: I saw a multitude of people dressed in loose, ragged clothing, with their wrists tied together with rope. Around them were an equally great multitude of people running here and there in seeming bewilderment, not knowing what to do. At first I thought they were those who had bound the multitude, but then I saw that they wanted to do something to set the others free, but didn't know what to do! Then I heard the voice of the Lord calling, "Unbind them and set them free!".

Then I looked again and I saw one dressed in white. His robe was shining with a brightness that lit up all those around him. His face shone like the sun, and many  turned away, unable to gaze at his brightness. Around him was a large group of people, also dressed in glorious bright robes, and carried over their arms a great quantity of white sashes.

Those who were bound with cords held up their hands to him, and as he reached out and touched each one, their bonds fell to the ground and turned to dust! Then those who followed bound one of the sashes around the waist of each of those set free, and as the sash was tied, the ragged clothes they wore became shining white, and their faces shone like the sun.

When all those who had been bound were set free and dressed in shining white, the one who had set them free turned to those who were milling around, not knowing what to do, and he spoke to them, saying.

"Where were you when I called to you from the midst of my needy people? Where were you when I wanted hands and feet to carry the good news? Why did you not respond to the call of my prophets? The reason is that you would not leave the shelter of those gloomy places you call my house. All your energy has been spent on things I did not call you to do, and you never called on me to help you or empower you. All around you were those who needed me, and you did not enlighten them. Without realising it, you too were becoming bound and enslaved. Repent and turn to me that I may set you free."
   
Even as I looked, many fell upon their knees and held up their bound wrists to him, with tears in their eyes. Others, however, were turning away from him, their faces cast down, and were moving out and away. Some of those who were dressed in white went to them, to turn them back, but were pushed aside. Only a few turned back and joined those on their knees.

Then the one who had spoken to them breathed on them, saying, "Receive the Holy Spirit of My Father, and be set free." And as one, the bonds of those on their knees fell to the ground, and they were all clothed in bright white, with a shining sash around their waist. Then, with one voice the whole multitude raised their voices in a hymn of praise, glorifying Jesus the Son of God. So great was the noise of the song of praise, that even those who had turned away looked back, and a few ran towards the multitude. As they ran their bonds fell off and their raiment turned white as snow, and they too joined in the hymn of praise to God.

Lord: Lift up your eyes to the fields and see, they are already white and ready to be harvested. Pray therefore, the Lord of the harvest, that he send workers into the fields, that all may be gathered in. Go where I send you. Speak the words I give you. Heal the sick and raise the dead and proclaim, "The kingdom of Heaven is at hand." I love you.

Eyes and Ears of the Spirit

Me: Good Morning Lord. Thank you for a good nights sleep and for waking me this morning.

Lord: Good Morning son. ... ...

This one is for my Church. Share it.

Yesterday I talked to you about trust, this morning I want to talk about using your gifts especially the gift of sight and hearing. Yes, both are gifts I have given you! you have two sorts of sight and hearing. You can see and hear the world around you with your eyes and ears, and both those organs have multiple uses. The ear can listen out for an unseen danger or can listen with delight at beautiful sounds and music. The eye beholds beauty and can be used to search out and find. It can detect the merest flicker or movement and thus warn of danger. Both can be used for communication and understanding. But in order to benefit from having eyes and ears you must practice and use them. So from a very early age children learn to look and see, to listen and to hear.

When I made man in the very beginning, I made him body, mind and spirit. His eye and ear organs relate to his body and mind, enabling him to live in, and relate to, the world around him. I also equipped him with an inner eye and inner ears. These relate to the spiritual world of which he is also a part. Just as it is important for a man to use his eyes and ears to get around in the world and to communicate with his fellow travellers, so it is important that man learns to use his spiritual eyes and ears to see and hear what is going on in the heavenly places. When I communicate with man through visions and prophecy, I don't use the physical eyes and ears; I use his spiritual eyes and ears. Many people I speak to, and show visions to, do not fully understand what they are seeing and hearing, because they are unaware of this other facility I have built in to them. That is why I find these times in the early hours with you so fruitful. You are wide awake but are not distracted by sounds and sight so you can concentrate on the inner eye and the inner ear. I long for all my children, both young and old, to listen with their inner ear and hear me speaking to them, and to look with their inner vision and describe what they see. For I long for my Church worldwide, to become a visionary, prophetic church that can speak My Word, and share My vision with a world, that has been fooled by the evil one into shutting me out. For too long now the churches have been the blind and deaf, leading the blind and the deaf! I long for My body on earth to be good listeners and visionary.

As you have discovered over the past year, my voice is plain to hear, and with your inner eye, you can see truths hitherto kept from you. You are learning to look and to see, to listen and to hear. I have shown you how, and explained ways to exercise these gifts, Now share it with others, so they too, may look and see, listen and hear, and so come to know the voice of God.

Keep Jesus, My living word, at the centre, focus on Him and allow him to speak to you. Hear Him as he cries out to all people, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear. He who has eyes to see let him see." Listen with open ears and eyes to the word of my prophet Isaiah chapter 42 verses 14 - 17:

For a long time I have kept silent, I have been quiet and held myself back. But now, like a woman in childbirth, I cry out, I gasp and pant. I will lay waste the mountains and hills and dry up all their vegetation; I will turn rivers into islands and dry up the pools. I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them. But those who trust in idols, who say to images, 'You are our gods,' will be turned back in utter shame.

Open your eyes to me, and your ears to hear. Trust me, and I will lead you down paths unfamiliar to you, and I will turn the darkness into light before you. Through the rough places, I will make a smooth path for you to walk, and I will guide you, because you trust in me.

I formed you out of the clay of the earth, and it will be I, who redeem you, and call you by your name. I will call you and say "You are mine, and I love you."

When I am lifted up from the earth

2010
Sunday, 7 February
04:59:20

Lord: Come up here son, for there are things that I want to show you. What do you see Martin?

Me: I see a lonely Cross, high on a hill. The sky is clear, and the sun is high. The birds are singing, and there is a buzz of insects. There is a feeling a little like being in a churchyard. but it is a hill in a wide open countryside, with a view for miles in all directions.

Lord: Look to the horizon Martin, and what do you see?

Me: I see a great multitude of people streaming from all directions to the Cross. People of every age, and nationality. The rich and the poor, the strong and the weak, all walking together. It seems as though the Cross itself is giving them strength to keep moving. There are lots of different expressions on their faces. Some look really joyful, while others look bewildered. Some even look reluctant, but are still moving forward. At first, I thought there was no sound coming from the multitude, for all I could hear was the sound of the birds and insects. Then, as I listened, I heard a murmur. For a time it remained just a murmur, although the crowd had come considerably nearer. The level of the noise was not related to the distance, or the number. Suddenly I heard a shout. It grew to a mighty crescendo in a matter of a few seconds. Again it came, and a third time. The shout was a resounding "Yes! Yes! Yes!" The crowd surged forward and as they reached the Cross, it was as though the Cross itself absorbed them. For what seemed like a long time the crowd came forward, and the ringing echo of their 'yes' could be heard. Then all was still and there were no more people coming. The fields were empty and even the birds and insects were silent. Then a cold wind began to blow and the green of the hillside turned brown, and nothing would grow in the barren dryness. Dust filled the air and the sound of the wind drove out all other sounds. It was very bleak and very inhospitable.

Lord: Jesus said "...When I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself." The Cross of Jesus stands high on a hillside where all can see it. Many find the Cross an offence, the whole idea of a crucified God abhorrent to them. Many are fascinated by the Cross, and like Moses at the burning bush, have turned aside to see it. Whatever the reason for coming, the Cross is like a magnet that few can resist. Huge numbers of people come to the Cross in silence, not wanting to draw attention to themselves and be ridiculed by their fascination or interest. They are often unaware that others too, some very close to themselves, are also moving towards me. The nearer you come to the Cross, the clearer you see Jesus. The clearer you see Jesus the clearer you see me! The three times cry "yes" is the cry I want to hear: "Yes Jesus, you are the Lord", "Yes Jesus, Forgive my sins," and "Yes Jesus, come into my heart." The acknowledgement of Jesus as Lord, and embracing all three, by asking Jesus into your heart, moves you forward with a rush, and you become one with the Cross. You are crucified with Christ. Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."

When the full number have been saved, and I have gathered the church together, I shall take her to a place of safety. And the time of tribulation will begin. Those who are left behind will be given a short time to repent. Then shall the end begin, and the new age dawn.

Come unto Me

2010
Saturday, 30 January
04:49:31

Me: Good Morning Lord, Thank you for waking me this morning and for allowing me to be a part of you 5 o'clock club. I love you Lord. Help me to love you more.

Lord: Good morning Son. Welcome to our gathering this bright and cold morning. I love you too my son, and I treasure these times with you, when we can talk. But first let us love one another.

Lift up you head and open your eyes that you may behold my Son. So often Jesus stands with you, and you do not recognise him. After the resurrection Jesus came to his disciples many times, and many times they found it hard to overcome reason and unbelief. Reason told them people just don't rise from the dead, and unbelief dragged them down to the level of reason by saying, "Unless I see and touch, I will not believe". Jesus had risen from the dead, because I am the Lord of Life. Jesus is a part of me, and death has no dominion over me. But it was necessary for Jesus to die, in order to take all the sin of Adam to the grave and enable mankind to be restored to me. The only way for this to happen was for me to take the sin away myself. Mankind could not let it go himself.

The same is still true today. Man cannot atone for his own sin, and is therefore sentenced to death for crimes against God. But there is a way out. Jesus! When Jesus went to the cross 2,000 years ago, he went once and for all time. Even 2,000 years later the children of men can still call on the Lord Jesus for help, and His gift to them is salvation. There is no other way to save yourself from the death sentence. No one, however rich or powerful, can escape the angel of death without Jesus. This is the message of the gospel. It must not be watered down, or compromised in any way. This message is life to those who hear and accept it, and death to those who reject it.

The desire of My heart, is that all men, women and children, come to accept this truth. The reality is that I have given mankind the ability and the free-will to say no. The enemy has a persuasive voice and seeks always to turn people from the path of salvation. He whispers into the ears of the unwary, and tells them that they can earn their way into my favour, through good deeds and being a nice person. But I tell you the truth when I say, there have been countless 'nice' people who have rejected Jesus who now lie for eternity in the dust. That grieves me, for Jesus died for all men and women in every age.

I call my church anew to preach the Gospel of Jesus, and not to preach any distortion of it. I call my church to seek out the lost and lead them to Jesus. This is not just the work and calling of ministers and evangelists; this is the calling of every believer. Let the testimony of Jesus be on your lips every day, as you share Him with all those you meet. Do not listen to those who will say to you, it is not politically correct to put people under pressure. If that is what people need to hear, and it is, then the message must be shared. In every revival there are those who struggle and fight against my Spirit, but all will say it was worth the struggle, to come through to full salvation. There are still too many people in this so called Christian country outside my Kingdom, and that is unacceptable. For this reason I am going to break down the barriers the churches have made, which they self righteously call doctrinal differences, and I am going to call out my true church. The days are past when Christians say I am an Anglican, a Baptist, a Catholic or anything else. Those who love me and have received the Lord Jesus must stand together and proclaim with one voice, the truth of the Gospel without compromise. Then you will see not hundreds or thousands, but tens of thousands and even millions turning to me and receiving the salvation of the Cross.

Catch my vision, my children. Catch the vision, grasp it and hold it. Keep it always before you and thank me for it every day. The vision is the Gates of Heaven with a countless mass of people pouring into the kingdom, and as they pass through, a great shout is heard and all the earth is shaken. The people are of every race and tribe on earth, and come from every possible religion and none. The reason why they are entering through the sacred gates is simple. Each of them has heard about the saving grace of God through the cross, and have received the message with joy, and received Jesus into their hearts. No one who acknowledges from their heart, that Jesus Christ is Lord, will be left outside.

Dreams and Visions

2010
Friday, 22 January
05:00:36

Lord: Have you noticed, as you read the scriptures, even the hard passages, how I put pictures into your mind. All scripture is pictures, and your speaking and teaching is most effective when you use pictures. Visions or pictures bring light and colour to your mind as well as understanding. There are several things I want to say about visions.

Wait with them. Expect my word to conjure up pictures for you. As you read the Word or as you listen to me speak, let the pictures form in your mind and be displayed on the screen of your inner eye. Gaze on it, study it and recall it, so that its meaning can dawn on you. Vision and pictures are a common part of the learning process for children, but for some reason it is not thought appropriate for adults, who are encouraged to think in abstract thoughts and words. Adults also think using pictures, and behind every great writing is a picture. Make pictures in your mind's eye part of everyday life. Learn to read the picture, in the same way you take in any scene in life. Ask yourself what is happening in this picture, who is there and what are they doing. Draw your first conclusion from the obvious, then look at the detail, and see if that changes the meaning. If the meaning or the reason for the picture is unclear, then prayerfully ask for clearer vision or clarification. I give visions because I want you to understand something, or to hear what I am saying. If you don't see what it means, I will give you another vision. Those who focus on me and see their visions as coming from me, will learn to read them and understand them.

As you look at the pictures and begin to see what they are about, ask yourself two questions:

Does this picture apply to me? And if so how?

Does this picture apply to others or more generally? If so,to whom, and how?

Visions and pictures are, at some point, to share. When others hear about your vision their mind's eye also catches the light and sees the detail. It is good to share visions and pictures with other believers, so that they, prayerfully, can test out your interpretation and perhaps add to it. When others share their pictures with you, do not dismiss them but treat them as from me, and wait on the meaning until it is fully understood. Write them down or record them in some way.

In the coming months and years I am going to use the visual gifts more and more in revealing truth to my people. It will be both an encouragement to the believer, and a sign for the unbeliever.

The visionary and the dreamer of dreams are as important to the church as any other ministry, and should be prayerfully encouraged and listened to. I am already speaking to others about dreams and visions, as I am speaking to you about prophecy and preaching.

This sort of inspired sight should not be watered down or confused with people who are full of good ideas. Those gifts are good also, but are more a natural gift of seeing possibilities, and are the product of an active alert mind, not necessarily me speaking to the Church.

Where I give vision, I also give understanding. Sometimes it is important that the interpretation and understanding comes from another person, as with the gift of tongues, where one speaks and another interprets. This is not however a rule! Many of my visionaries understand and interpret themselves.

Be always open for the many ways I am speaking and teaching my people in these days, for I am doing a new work in your land. I am mobilising a might army and equipping them for action. Prayer warriors awake, Soldiers of Christ arise, Prophets listen and speak as the Lord leads, Visionaries and Dreamers open the eyes of your spirit and let me show you. My church must be ready to move when they hear My battle cry, Jesus is Lord!
