The Three Visions of Love and Anguish

July 14th, 2003

I feel compelled to share three visions I had the night before last. They are so stirring still within me that I have had little to no sleep tonight. More than the imagery and symbolisms within the visions was my response to them. Over the years God has given me a series of repeated visions of the same settings and the same content, scenes and scenarios and they have not been dreams. I cannot stress that enough. They were outright visions full of the power of God that I have seen only a couple of times in the natural and manifested in the real.

I have always thought these visions were foretastes of what was coming and I have thought that the scenes were those areas God was going to pour His Spirit out upon, but again – there is more to the point of my reaction this time than to the imagery of these three visions I just had. Let me first say that over the years each time these visions were given to me I was engulfed in the total Love of God and the Compassion of Christ and I cannot stress enough that I do not mean an anointing, I do not mean a double portion, but I DO mean the full measure of Christ as He walked this earth. Each time in the past when I awoke from these visions I would lie still and bask in the Love and Power for as long as it would linger upon me. Sometimes that was only for moments, but I have also had it linger for as long as a couple of days. I would only bask and marvel in that covering.

The first vision July 14th, 2003

I was walking home through what was a suburban neighborhood and I had a couple miles to walk to get to my apartment, but I became drossy and so sleepy I could not continue even for those couple of miles. I somewhat slumped onto a man’s lawn for rest and he simply said “You must come inside for some sleep. You should not try continue and you are welcome in our home.” It seems he must have carried me in and put me in a bed. When I woke I found I was in a very large house – actually huge with it seemed hundreds of rooms.

What I found was this house was for disabled and disadvantaged children of every form you could imagine and this man who had taken me in was the head of it. I drew near the children and that is when that Love of God and that Compassion of Christ came over me. When I use that term I am also implying the full and complete measure of the power of Christ with it. For when the full presence of the Love of God and the Compassion of Christ is present there is full power with it.

It does not seem they are separate, but are by nature inseparable. In this dream it was the first time I was not watching them all be healed, but it was such that the Love of God was so intense upon these children that healing was not a concern, yet at the same time I found I was gifted to do things with the children that others were not able to do. There was one autistic boy who no one could communicate with and I went to him and as I touched him we could both communicate to each other telepathically. It was not at all a problem. He could tell me his needs and I could supply them.

Another little girl was in leg braces and was crippled and could not walk, but as I took her little hand to braces fell off and she could walk fine, but it seems as long as she was holding my hand it was all fine so it seems I did not let go, but it was this indescribable Love of God and Compassion of Christ that was the healing power that simply flowed through me and did it and I had no misconceptions about it being from or of me. I knew it was God and it was not a hard task to NOT steal His glory in the matter.

It was just to obvious that it was not of me and nothing I could take claim for. But this intense love was flowing out of me for these many children. There were hundreds of them. Then I found myself on a top bunk sort of playing with the kids and a little girl about 4 years old got up there and we were just playing doing kid things, but she had a little bucket, like kids play with at the beach and it was full of ice chips. She climbed up there and she just wanted to pour the ice chips over the edge of the top bunk to the floor just to watch the ice chips fall. That was not a problem, she was curious and she was experimenting, but she got to close to the edge and so I wrapped my arm around her while she got close to the edge to pour out her little bucket and I let her. No big deal, so I could clean up the ice and water from the floor when she was done – what was important is she was wanting to learn and experiment, I was just keeping her safe while she tried her little experiment and, like I have no words to say that Love of God so intense human words fail to describe I was filled with in full measure.

Then the scene started to fade. I thought I was going back to sleep with the groggy feeling again. Then I began to wake up and thought I was again in the bed the man had placed me in the first time. It took a couple of minutes trying to recognize things, but then I did. I recognized it was our bedroom and I was awake from another vision of God’s Love and Compassion, but this time my reaction was totally different than it has been over the many years I have had these visions. Instead of basking in that Love, Compassion and Power I was still feeling filling me I broke out into uncontrollable weeping and sobbing and crying out to God because it had only been a vision when I knew too well now how the world needs that now to deliver the many, many, many souls from so many various bondages, sicknesses and diseases. This was the difference I wanted to drive home to all who may read this.

Although I have had these visions over the years, this was the first time I burst into tears that God no longer just be visions to me, but that I will not be at peace until what I know to be God’s Love and the Compassion of Christ is become manifest in the flesh and in the natural world. Throughout the day I would break into tears and am still doing so.

It is NO longer acceptable to be to only know this power in my dreams and visions. I cannot look on a world of millions in bondage and NOT cry out for what I KNOW is reality in God to NOT come into the natural and perform what I KNOW to be true of His Love and His Compassion.

With all my heart I would desire that God would grant that I might be a vessel of His choosing that He would indwell with this much of Himself and that He would grant that I might see those delivered and healed as I have seen, but if it is not His will that I am allowed to be such a vessel I can only pray that He raise up those who are.

Once you come to know a real encounter with God and His Love and His Compassion such as this you come to know how much it is lacking in the Christian world. There are those who claim to have a healing ministry and it comes nowhere close to such a thing as is from God, and in many – all too many cases are false placebos from worked up emotions. Once you come to know an encounter with God and Compassion such as this that I know you quite readily know who is not working in God power and who are simply merchandizing the blood of Jesus Christ.

Once this encounter has touched you and the reality of it enters your heart you are aware that the Church is far too full of fakes and charlatans and those who seek their own glories. But I wish to be clear here to say that in most of the church they have done the best they could in trying what they could with what they understand. But the power of God has never come from a book, it has never been developed through seminary training, and the Love of God and the Compassion of Christ has never been and automatic granting at the finish of anyone’s achievement in the pursuit of a degree in divinity. It is not learned, it is not bought, and it is not owed to anyone who thinks they have it coming.

It is God and God alone and it is the only thing that is going to heal and break the power of the enemy that we have seen take over the church and has taken over our children. SO then I cry out because of knowing this. I cry out in aguish because I KNOW that with nothing short of what I know will bring any form of true deliverance what so ever. It will not bring healing and what we mostly have now is only placebo and it must stop if we are to have hope. The disunity in the Body must stop.

The silliness and the fighting and our personal petty little ideas about God are no better nor are they any more mature than the thoughts of a two year old. It MUST stop. Those I have seen say they cast out demons are not casting out anything. Those I have seen say they have healing ministries while forcibly pulling people out of the wheel chair to embarrassingly hobble across a stage as though healed is not the truth, it is not the truth of the Power of God. I have seen the true power in the natural only a couple of times as I have many times been given visions of in my sleep. They were instant and they were complete and they were not reversible placing responsibility upon the person that it is his duty to maintain his own healing – this is only placebo manipulation.

I would not be able to say this or to tell the difference if I did not know real encounters of God as I have. I would be following the best thing I could just as so many are doing, but I now insist and proclaim that NOTHING less than what I have known in my visions are acceptable to me. Nothing less the that Love of God and that Full Compassion of Christ is acceptable to me. Anything less than what I know from that is fake and from the flesh or at best is a mix of a little bit God and a whole lot of ourselves.

There are many, many, many dear people I love deeply and have lost as friends. There are those who stand by us I love deeply – they are few, but I am not attacking them when I say that what was before is no longer acceptable, we have all done the best we could in the ways we thought were good or were trained in. There are simply far to many formulas out there and theorems on how to apply the correct spiritual applications to any given situation. There is no power of God what so ever involved. If you have this sickness you repeat this scripture. If you are being attacked by spirits then you renounce generational curses. If you want something you bind together in agreement and it will be done for you.

We are doing what the Pharisees did. They bound up their souls in the idea and the pursuit that scripture in themselves is Life and Power when it is NOT. Jesus stood and said to their faces. You think you have life from the word, and here I stand before you and I AM THE WORD AND I AM LIFE. And the religious held so tight to scripture they missed the Son of God and the Creator of the Universe who desired to take them under his wings in His Compassion and Love. And now we are Christians and we are full of scripture. We are full of theorems, and tactics, and ways to apply an exorcism, and how to do this and how to do that and how to do everything – EXCEPT HOW TO HAVE A TRUE ENCOUNTER WITH THE GOD WHO CREATED US AND THE SON WHO DIED FOR US.

Why then do I cry out in anguish. Why have I spent now a couple of days bursting into tears because I know now the clarity of what is needed and I know too well the difference between that which pretends to be God’s presence and that which truly is God’s presence. I have been in far too many churches where I could feel The Holy Spirit starting to flow in, only to be pressed out by the many and various exuberant expressions of the flesh to where my wife and I now refer to them as no revival but simply and spiritually exhausting “flesh fests”. And such things were encouraged above and beyond the Spirit of God have place to be head of the body. We have sat and watched while those we knew to be called, chosen and gifted were told to be quiet; that they were not yet mature enough to minister and needed to sit under more training while those in authority granted every form of expression of flesh and insanity to come into the body with increasing delusions coming through prophetic plants from the enemy.

I am not satisfied. I am in total aguish of soul and this has been increasing over the last couple of years to a breaking point where now it is in the natural I am breaking out into uncontrollable sobbing, and weeping and crying out.

I have been giving many prophetic visions over the years. They have been written and published, but God seldom now gives me words of prophecy. He has me stepping into different shoes. The prophet in me is still there and it is the anger that rises up in me at the principalities that have tried to kill and destroy us and it is a principality that I have seen first hand kill and destroy close friends and family members, but now my attention has been turned by God to issues or order in the Body. It has been turned to proclaim the true God and the true Nature of God and the True Nature of Christ and it is set to proclaim what is good for the Body and what is NOT. I will set myself against anything I have come to know is killing God’s people or is serving to cut short what more could be theirs – and there is a world more to bring into the Body of Christ then it has any idea of at this point.

There have been little outpouring here and there as samples of things to come. God has given his chosen vessels visions and insight into those things that will come. And what will come is the temple of God in order and filled with Himself and not with ourselves.

My soul shall NOT rest until I see in the natural what God has shown me in vision. My soul shall not be at rest until I see flesh removed from the house of God and that I can see and know it is My God that fills the temple and that it is my Lord and Christ whose compassion is flowing. There have been a few sample poured out in a few places of just the taste of God and what He may bring in.

Currently I am getting reports from Tulare, California where it seems what is going on fits more the picture of what my visions have been about than anything to date. Brownsville and Toronto may have been examples leading up to more of these things as well as Smithton, but having my associations and connections with those in the past I have also seen much of this go the way of the expression of flesh and not the expression of knowing the presence of a Holy God.

There is a lot of all programming that needs to come out. It is the old computer adage, garbage in – garbage out. If you were brought up in certain ways of spiritual expression it is just part of your nature and I am not persuaded God is aggravated at that knowing we have tried what best we could mostly, but what I think will gain his more Fatherly sternness is if we do not cease our childish ways and rebel against the maturing he wishes us to come into. For the many of us who were saved and came out of the Jesus Movement of the late 60s and 70s there have been enough years behind us now where we should have come to some state of maturity.

I heard a wise comment come out of the mouth of one not too many weeks back and he said – “If you are acting and doing the same thing you were doing just six months ago then you aren’t growing and that is not God’s plan. I have sat in churches and have watched the antics that have not changed in more than 30 years. The same yelling in tongues, jumping around and screaming to such a degree that I watched (and I mean this literally) people come to the door to be saved and walk away scared at what they saw.

Gandhi was walked into a Church to give his life to Christ. Before he could do so he was asked to leave because he was not white. Who shall enter the kingdom of heaven? Matt 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called sons of God. (ASV) . Since Gandhi was a peacemaker I am more persuaded that he shall enter the kingdom of heaven before I am persuaded that those who called themselves Christians who drove him out of their church will be. And of course the excuse I was given for this was that there would be NO quenching of the spirit in that church… I submit to you that when we act in such a way that scares people away from salvation that it is NOT quenching any spirit that is from God.

I have moved from the prophetic into trying to work in what I perceive to be apostolic efforts. It is my heart and my desire to see order. It is my heart and my desire to see God allowed to flow and not the flesh. It is my desire the Body of Christ come into maturity and wisdom. I don’t see any Biblical example of Christ doing any works in the absence of wisdom, understanding, and knowledge – yet we expect we can work in the power of God throwing all common sense to the wind and calling that “freedom in the spirit” – rubbish! Christ confounded the Pharisees with WISDOM – NOT STUPIDITY! – My wife just asked me if I was writing another “tirade” and I guess I had to tell her yes.

I would suppose that I have overstated my point as is the usual case with me. I know my anguish now will not let up until I see results and I see change, and I pray that it does not. It is not an anguish I want delivered or released from. It is an aguish that adds substance to my prayers. My prayers are no idle words. They are of and anguished crying out from my spirit and the deepest parts of my soul.

The point has been made here that it is no longer a substantial thing to discuss or write of the images of visions and the power of visions. It has reached a point where it is only now acceptable to see these things start to manifest into the natural. It is no longer enough to have visions of thousands delivered in that power of God and awake to find that no one yet is being delivered because that power is not yet given precedence.

The information of the other two visions I will include, but are not the point of this writing. They have information in them I believe.

The second vision – I was told I should go to a convention center where there were conventions going on of many various professions. I went thinking only to observe which I did at first. When asked by someone what my profession was I did not even say I had been in ministry. I said I had been and actor when young and had for some years done some writing, but felt at this time I was in transition. I just walked around observing and went into a room of what seemed to be a gathering of “physics” professionals. The leader asked me a question, but I had no physics training – never the less at the instant he asked the question the power of God hit me and super-natural knowledge filled my being and I stood in front of them all correcting those things that were wrong and out of line and giving encouragement and proper praise to those who were on the right track in their theories. Maybe the simple thing to learn in this vision is that as God comes it will not matter if we have been trained in something or not – the job and the super-natural presence of God will enter in and the problems will be resolved. This is inevitable as Christ comes back to rule – think of it that way.

The third vision – I was told I should go down town as there was going to be a parade and I should be there. I went and found that the floats were covered with those children from the first vision – those disabled and disadvantaged children I had so loved. Again, I thought I had come to observe and to watch, but a lady who was a helper of the children jerked me onto the lead float and told me to lead in song. I was stunned as I was jerked on so quickly I was up there before I could flinch. Then she said for me to lead the parade in song. This was not good. I knew I had a voice like a frog, although I could sing when I was young. I let out a few notes and thought – well that was good enough so I cut loose, but it was NOT just me singing, I brought everyone on all the floats and everyone watching and on the streets into the same song all singing un unison and it was praise. These were the three visions from July 14th, 2003.

The following 5 visions were repeated many times over a period of about 25 years, but I will just capsulate on these to try give you grace from my ramblings, but I believe again the represent some categories that are in store for the move of God that is maybe now at the very door.

– I am levitated in a courtroom and I am giving stern warning from God to the Judge and all surrounding authorities that they must put justice right or suffer the consequences. I am levitated in all these visions as it is what get everyone’s attention and shuts them up to listen – I am levitated in a bar, but full of compassion and mercy and non-judgmentalism toward all present and simply give an invitation into Heaven through Christ. All put aside their drinks and all accept the Lord without exception – I am within a prison and I blow the gates and fences off their hinges to set everyone free, but before they are let out the gate they are all healed and delivered of demons – again, there is no exceptions and there are none left un-healed or un-delivered and all are freed from the prison – I am in what seems to be an open park meeting. Everyone sick, oppressed, or possessed are all healed and delivered without exception and I am giving some kind of sermon of encouragement while not just I, but others throughout the crowd are ministering with complete and instant results.

I am in a hospital that was secretly created for a specific time. No one knows it was being build and equipped with every bit of equipment to heal every known disease and it has been staffed by those fully trained on all of the equipment. There is no one who does not know what there job is and there is no one that does not know how to run the equipment they are assigned to and there are no mistakes going on. This is all brought to perfection before the doors are opened. All the time the hospital was being build next to an amusement park that was getting most all of the attention of society and in particular those professing to be believers. They should not have been seeking out this amusement park. They should have been seeking out this hospital that was being built. Anyway, the day came and the decree to throw open the doors was given and as soon as all the sick and crippled people came in the door they were healed or immediately taken to the equipment and person that did the job. There was no messing around. The was no paperwork there was simply get them in and heal them now – period.

So – is short capsulation those have been the 5 repeating visions over the years and in each of the I had what I refer to as the full Love of God and that Compassion of Christ is full measure and not in part. It has only been with these visions of the last couple of days have I exploded into tears that it is not yet in the natural when it is now so much more critical than it was before that it be so. Now I will give you peace from another article of mine.
