1st word I heard

VISION

I saw whole cities being dropped down from Heaven. The cities did not look like anything on earth or man – made. These cities looked like castles. The falling cities from Heaven fell on top of all the cities on earth. Earth’s cities were completely covered by those from Heaven. Not one man –made city was visible.

And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever. Revelation 11:15

Then I heard the Lord say,

Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and shew thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not. Jeremiah 33:3

I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. Psalm 81:10

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalm 34:8

Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. Psalm 100:4

16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Matthew 16:16-18

6 Mine eyes shall be upon the faithful of the land, that they may dwell with me: he that walketh in a perfect way, he shall serve me. 7 He that worketh deceit shall not dwell within my house: he that telleth lies shall not tarry in my sight. 8 I will early destroy all the wicked of the land; that I may cut off all wicked doers from the city of the LORD. Psalm 101:6-8

1 A Song and Psalm for the sons of Korah.
Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness. 2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. 3 God is known in her palaces for a refuge. 4 For, lo, the kings were assembled, they passed by together. 5 They saw it, and so they marvelled; they were troubled, and hasted away. 6 Fear took hold upon them there, and pain, as of a woman in travail. 7 Thou breakest the ships of Tarshish with an east wind. 8 As we have heard, so have we seen in the city of the LORD of hosts, in the city of our God: God will establish it for ever. Selah. Psalm 48:1-8

1 Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; 4 And patience, experience; and experience, hope: 5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. 6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. 8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:1-8

Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.
Matthew 7:6

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9

Note: The chordae tendineae ( sg. : chorda tendinea) or tendinous cords, colloquially known as the heart strings, are inelastic cords of fibrous connective tissue that connect the papillary muscles to the tricuspid valve and the mitral valve in the heart.

1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. Isaiah 60:1-2

1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh: 4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. Romans 8:1-4

My Thoughts

I felt led to share this word with the people of God. In 2016, I went through a transition of relocating from one state to another. I felt like a new born baby and a 99 year old woman at the same time.

I felt totally helpless to overcome my fears and inadequate feelings. My emotions were high strung. I dealt with pass betrayals and offenses going back to a place I hated.

The Lord gave me a new assignment and it was time to move. I came back to this reassigned place with regrets and hostilities. I was burdened and carrying every one cares. Then one day I cried out to the Lord. He heard and He answered.

The Lord was telling me how to fight in Spiritual Warfare. A war happened in the spirit but I tried to fight in my flesh. I had to get my mind off me and my desires and fight with all my might.

I think about Moses when he went through an unusual spiritual battle. He tried to defend his people incorrectly. After a log hard wilderness journey – the Lord showed Moses His Glory.

1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb. 2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. 3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt. 4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I. 5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off thy shoes from off thy feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground. Exodus 3:1-5

I believe the Lord redirected me back to this word for such a time as this. Learn from my mistakes. During a battle we cannot take the Whole Armor of God off. We have to sleep in fighting mode.

3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6

Often we fell demoted when the Lord works His perfect will in our lives. Starting over at a mature age is not something we relish with great pleasure. However, the Lord is ALL KNOWING. I have been in this reassigned place for ten years. Things have settled and resolved. But I am hearing another call to “Go to a place that I will show you”.

These words are to encourage people going in and out of transitions. The Lord has led me back to events happening in 2019. This is my new starting point. The Lord is showing His people there is no new thing under the sun. He is doing a check up to see if I am following His instructions.

Our Lord is a personal God. He knows the heart of His people. Let the Lord into your heart. He knows all about heart matters.
