Yes Indeed, It Won't Be Long Now!

I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your old men will dream dreams,
your young men will see visions. Joel 2:28

Do you dream?  Do you remember them?  Do you understand their meanings?  Most often dreams are symbolic in nature.  They carry a weightier meaning than what you saw.  What about a vision?  Visions can be both with your eyes open or closed.  These typically are more literal.  What you see is what God is actually wanting you to hear.  

Dream 

Noun 

1. a series of thoughts, images, sensations occurring in a person's mind during sleep.

Vision

Noun

1. an experience of seeing someone or something in a dream or trance or as a supernatural apparition.

    a.  a vivid mental image, especially a fanciful one of the future.

Verb

1. imagine.

Do you believe God can speak to you through a vision or a dream?  The Bible, shows that God spoke to people often through a vision or in dreams.  

the message of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open: Numbers 24:4

Here's a link that lists quite a few verses talking about dreams & vision - https://www.gotquestions.org/dreams-visions-Bible.html

Last blog I wrote about a vision/dream that I had and one that Ken had.  What I didn't share with you was that we are both experiencing such an influx of dreams and visions over the past few weeks.  The few hours I get a night are filled with very detailed dreams.  Ken is often having several dreams in one night.  We seek the Lord for insight into each dream/vision and then also submit to a few people we know and trust that have history of accuracy in dream interpretation.  These dreams have been coming fast & furious!  

When Ken & I started dating in 1984 there was a pinball machine called Eight Ball Deluxe. We used to play it together not in competition but together playing the same game. I used to play the left flipper and Ken played the right. It was a true sense of teamwork. 

Interesting that as the years together (now 33) our marriage and how God speaks to us is quite similar. I will often hear something and at the same time he will get a picture or vice versa. Over the past several years more & more prophetic words have been spoken over us about being a dynamic duo, powerhouse together, mighty ministry couple etc. We recently had a word that together we would walk in the office of a prophet. (Thats up to God and we are not striving for or need a title-but we do love being used by God to minister healing & encouraging words) It's kind of fun to get these but even moreso knowing that is how the Lord speaks to us and through us. 

Revelation & confirmations are happening so fast we can barely keep up. We are DEFINITELY in a season of Amos 9:13-15. This is a verse the Lord first gave to me last year to encourage me of things to come.....and has since repeated it to me multiple times (and many other prophetic voices) this year. 

So what's this have to do with Eight Ball Deluxe and a pinball machine. On the game you have to be paying attention...when you hit the ball with the flipper you aim to be precise, the ball bounces back & forth side to side. It's a game of strategy and positioning the ball just right. Kind of like being in the right place at the right time. So, I believe God is releasing strategies through Dreams & Visions so that we are where he wants us to be figuratively and literally for this next move of God. 

One more thing..... the Eight Ball Deluxe Machine has a saying it speaks out while you play "Stop talking & start chalking) meaning quit talking and take action. Or in baseball, they say let's play ball, in racing start your engines. 

I don't want God to stop talking however I do want to see ALL He has promised manifest soon!

These verses also speak to me the PROMISES He has spoken will come to pass.  It also speaks of our waiting season.  We wait and wait and wait and wait and wait.......... and then SUDDENLY God does the MIRACLE you've been contending sooooooo long for!  We've been in a wilderness season almost since our inception of becoming a believer in 2002.  He has been preparing us, grooming us, purging the old to prepare for the new!  The Lord willing, we feel we are ready to step into "destiny." 

The shift has happened, things are beginning to pick up momentum!!

 “Yes indeed, it won’t be long now.” God’s Decree.

“Things are going to happen so fast your head will swim, one thing fast on the heels of the other. You won’t be able to keep up. Everything will be happening at once—and everywhere you look, blessings! Blessings like wine pouring off the mountains and hills. I’ll make everything right again for my people Israel:

"They'll rebuild their ruined cities.

They'll plant vineyards and drink good wine.

They'll work their gardens and eat fresh vegetables.

And I'll plan then, plant them on their own land.

They'll never again be uprooted from the land I've given them." God, your God says so.  Amos 9:13-15 The Message 

(P.S.)  If you are waiting on God for something... I believe this verse is a rhema word for you!  Grab hold of it = contend for it!  It's yours! 

Rabbit trail, but bear with me...

There is a friend we met a couple of years ago.  He moved from KC to Eldo and lived here about a year.  We connected with him and instantly bonded both as a friend but also as someone we thought God may be connecting to us and our ministry.  We often prayed with each other, for each other & for Eldo and surrounding communities.  Our prayer times were powerful and filled with fresh revelation, power and breakthrough.  We saw answers to our prayers quite often.  Well, he moved back to KC and our relationship was still there, but obviously limited.  In January, he sent me a text with  something that really began a ball rolling in a direction we never imagined.  But, the funny thing is, that was the LAST communication we had for 6 months.  It was like he vanished off the radar.  In those 6 months, God has been speaking to us very specific things, so many things, that I had to create a folder in my laptop trying to keep everything somewhat organized.  (I could write a book with all of it). 

In June, I sensed the Lord prompting me to reach out to him again, so I did.  He responded....as if there was no separation at all.  Without revealing too much, we believe God kept us apart so He could speak to each of us separately.  What we didn't know during that time, was that God was speaking identical things to each of us.  When we reconnected, wow, things that we heard for the past 6 months, he was hearing exactly the same thing.  Every day now we connect.  It's almost creepy (in a good way), but I can message him something and he will be looking at the very same thing.  Or we've all been seeing numbers/having visions & dreams that have very specific biblical meanings that are applicable to what God is doing with the 3 of us.  What we see or hear from the Lord he is and vice versa!  It's amazing!  

Now back to Amos 9 - all these things - dreams, visions, numbers, times, prophetic words, posts, quiet time thoughts and impressions are coming so fast.  Literally, the 3 of us have often been overwhelmed in a good way.  But, as the verse says, so fast our HEADS WILL SWIM!  I can't keep up with copying and pasting and typing out what we're hearing.  I know I am missing key pieces.  Our friend is even trying to create/keep up a graphic for us.  

So that leads me to the title of this post.  "Yes indeed, it won't be long now."  We believe this verse is being played out right before our eyes.   We still don't now HOW or WHEN, but we are trusting God, contending, decreeing, believing and standing in FAITH!  

And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him Hebrews 11:5-6

Praise/Prayer 
-God is good and faithful to meet our every need.  This past weekend a friend of ours lives in a semi-nearby town which has an Aldi's (our closest one is an hour away).  We didn't want to go that far from home because Canyon was having a bad day and we weren't sure if we were going to have to put him down or not.  I called my friend and asked if he would mind stopping into Aldi and picking something up and bring to us the next day when he was coming for a visit.  He was happy to help us out.  He surprised us and blessed us by not only going to the store for us, but paying for it and not letting me reimburse him.  And he blessed us with 2.5 doz organic, non-gmo eggs & 3 cucumbers from his garden!  What a generous and kind man!!!   
-God is good and faithful - Canyon bounced back from a horrible few days.  We don't want him to suffer and yet we just don't have peace about putting him down quite yet.  It's very possible it could be any day.  Our prayer is that God would take him peacefully in his sleep, with no trauma to him or us.  We've been blessed that he's lived as long as he has 15.9 years (and his lifespan is only 10-12 years).  
- God is good and faithful - Ken somehow survives the limited sleep he gets on Monday and Tuesday nights mostly.  (Matter of fact he's trying to sleep now and since I can't, I'm in the other room writing this).  God's grace is sufficient in our weakness.  Please continue to pray for the grace to endure & provision to come forth.
-God is good and faithful - I'm thankful that even know my sleep is still not consistent or often, that somehow God's grace gets me through.  Pain levels are still high but I cope.  The enemy still often lies to me about the consequence of sleep deprivation and likes to attempt to put fear on me, but I am gaining strength and confidence in God's Word and believing what God said - HE WILL SUSTAIN me.  I trust that as we are stepping into DESTINY (soon, we hope) that my health will be fully restored.  I am seeing improvements. 
- God is good and faithful - our weekly meeting is still going strong.  Mostly our ministry in this season is to the Lord, in intercession and ministry to those He puts before us.  

Thank YOU so much for your ongoing support, love and care for us and our ministry.  We are honored to be able to pray for those who reach out to us.  Please let me know if you have any prayer needs.  

If you have been blessed by this ministry or feel led to support what God is doing through us - financially, below are a few options.  Your generosity and your prayer support is greatly appreciated and needed as we continue to walk in faith and God's calling.

Vision

God has given us a vision to build a retreat property along with ministry equipping center.  

The retreat portion of our ministry is to provide a safe place for pastors, lay leaders & other ministry folks to come and be refreshed & encouraged through prophetic ministry (if wanted).  We will offer private cabins with kitchens & full bathrooms, and plenty of places to roam on the property to get quiet with the Lord. 

We will offer other specialty retreats - marriage, healing, prophetic teaching & activating people into the world & health and wellness retreats and more.  

The Lord has graced us with the desire to come alongside the Church - to bring healing, deliverance & freedom to new/newer believers.  We are not wanting to replace their church, but better help them be ready to serve in their church. 

In our community building - we will eventually have a 24/7 prayer room, healing & prophetic rooms and a place for community worship services for those on the property.  

Our passion is to minister to a lost & hurting world.   To equip the saints to do the same and to be a blessing to our community and surrounding areas.  Our hopes are that we can pour out God's love in a mighty way to bring more and more souls into the Kingdom, get them discipled, called into their purpose & destiny and released to do God's business!!!!  We also have a passion to give generously to help those in need and to help others launch into their God given destinies.
