The Beasts

In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream with visions in his mind as he was lying on his bed. He wrote down the dream, and here is a summary of his account. Daniel said, "in my vision at night I was watching, and suddenly the four winds of heaven stirred up the great sea. Four huge beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other. Daniel 7:1-3

The first beast was like a lion, the second like a bear, the third like a leopard and the fourth was frightening and dreadful. We are not told what the beast was.

However, this dream seems to relate to the dream of Nebucahadbezzar. He saw a man made of four different parts, each representing a future Kingdom.

Daniel was unable to interpret his dream and had to ask what it meant. It greatly troubled him. He was a true visionary yet the impact of his dream troubled him and he was unable to calmly seek The Lord for its interpretation.

I have seen some terrifying things in the spirit, just for a season. I remember being in Houston when Gid showed me a vision that greatly troubled me. He told me to write it down and send it to a man he named.

I struggled with this but peace would not come until I had sent the letter.

This and other visions came in the period of time called the Toronto Outpouring. It was an awesome time. However, another time is upon us and great is this outpouring. I sense it, on the other side of the veil. It is gathering strength, the storm is building.

When God's spirit falls who can resist it?
Daniel saw the ancient is days. What a vision:
'As I kept watching thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of days took His seat.
His clothing was white like snow, and the hair of His head was white like wool.
His throne was flaming fire;
It's wheels were blazing fire.
A river of fire was flowing,
Coming out from His presence.
Thousands upon thousands served Him;
Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. 
The court was convened,
And the books were opened. '(9,10)

Our God is greater than any evil,
His glory higher than any man.
He is God, king of kings, Lord of Lords. Amen!

Who Rules?

The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers, I will pout out my fury on them like water. Hosea 5:10 World leaders of church and state are now all highly visible. When they are not open to consultation or do not listen they make judgements that are judged as foolish by both God and man. In Australia we just celebrated Australia Day and at this time various people are honoured for their contribution to society. Our Prime Minister, Mr Abbott, without consultation, conferred a knighthood on the Queen of England's husband, Phillip. Almost to a person, Australians judged this to be foolish. Even supporters have now distanced themselves. Imagine what it is like when church leaders follow their own emotions or the emotions of their people and change what is acceptable to God. For example, no longer considering adultery something that precludes a man from ministry. We might think we are clever, but actually going with a sinful flow. Where is God in all this? My emotions ar...

Know Your Sword!

So he took Him to Jerusalem, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "if you are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: 'He will give His angels orders concerning You, to protect you, they will support You with their hands, so that you will not strike Your foot against a stone.' And Jesus answered him, "it is said: 'do not test The Lord your God." And the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:9-11 In this third test Satan quoted scripture but Jesus knew His scripture and was not going to be deceived by his enemy twisting the truth. I am amazed at what Satan tempted Jesus with. He did not know Christ. He had succeeded in tempting the first Adam yet he was thwarted in this attempt. Jesus had lived 30 years and been tutored in godliness with contentment, he was prepared, baptised in the Spirit and sold out to the Father's purpose. Every time our enemy comes against us we ...

Little Things Grow

The boy's mother said to Elisha, "as The Lord lives and you yourself live, I will not leave you. So he got up and followed her. 2 Kings 4:30 The Shunamite woman had travelled to Mt Carmel to find Elisha after the death of her son. Although Elisha had sent his servant Gehazi to the boy with his staff the woman had come to find Elisha and was not leaving without him. I like this lady's spirit. I am sure The Lord God Almighty also valued her heart. She had a heart for God and made room for Him in her world. Now, having lost her son she knew what to do: find Elisha and not let him go until he came to restore her son. What made the Shunamite woman believe that Elisha could raise her son? Was it the same faith that made her provide him a place to stay in her home? I believe it was God working in her life. I am grateful for her faith, I can read and be encouraged. We do not know her name yet her story lives in scripture. What a little thing it was to feed Elisha and then provide ...
