Jackie, the Scripture that stuns me always is: John 18: 37b, 38 " You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I have come into the world that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice". Here's the verse that stuns me. vs 38 Pilate said to Him, " What is the truth?". Pilate was facing The Truth but could not recognize Him. How frightening. Yes, let us adhere to His Truth. Jn 14: Jesus said to him, " I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me". Praise God that we can come to our Father through Jesus Christ, the way, the truth, the life. Jn 16: 13" However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, H

Dear Nebula, yes me too, I have been feeling so grieved listening to some of the christian music and 'seeing' their performance. I remember visiting a church in Singapore once, where a christian worship leader on stage was upto all kinds of antics with the mike. I thought I was watching a Mick Jagger performance rather than being ushered into the Presence of God. Yes worship is for the audience of One. The Spirit of God helps us see and hear the brokenness in the worship. How people sing is irrelevant, but why and to Whom is important. I know a lady who sings (in house church) completely out of tune, in fact, when she starts, it's hard for the 'good' singers to catch up and set the tune right, but within seconds, all is forgotten. Her love, her joy, her fervour for the Lord, make you remember what a Mighty Glorious God we serve, Worthy! Worthy! Worthy! Worthy to recieve glory, honour and power. That it's not about our voices, but our hearts, are they moved? do they sing or remain silent when our lips move. The reason we live is to worship Him. love........in Christ swarna

Firstly I want to apologise to all, for the large lettering. I am a bit of a computer illiterate and messed up. It won't happen again. Micen2, I tried the url, but it does'nt seem to work. Actually it would be interesting to hear the sounds you describe. Thanks your sister in Christ Swarna Micen2, I heard you! The url worked. My internet connection is slow, so I mistook it as not working. Hey, that's good. I am not very good with music terminology, but there was what I'll call an 'interlude' ( correct me if it's the wrong word to use) a part that really sounded like a different sound altogether. It only seemed to last a few seconds, it was so wonderful. I liked all of it and will listen to it several times. Thanks again Swarna

Dear Windance, I have just visited WildernessVoice and read 'My People'. As well as the warning for America. These are powerful and solemn words. You wrote: 'The flocks of foolishness overrun the land." Truly, though warned, many refuse to listen. Is'nt it amazing. ..... ' Your prayers rise like a stench to Me and I am offended." reminds me of this verse. Proverbs 28:9 He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. kjv Thank you so much Windance your sister in Christ Swarna

Yes Amen. Thank you Jackie. Jackie, God has done a wonderful work in you. That's why you can minister to others. I just feel like singing " O the Blood of Jesus, it washes white as snow." Psalm 75:1b For Your wondrous works declare that your name is near. What a Mighty God we serve. your sister in Christ Swarna

Thanks Ben, it is about enhanced spiritual discernment. Yes, as your own dream warns, we can't eat without checking, what we are allowing inside us. As a lawyer in Bombay - India, I have to face very strange situations, when dealing with criminals in jails, or 'outraged' opponents in other types of cases. In my early days of law practise I was disgusted to see how easily I was led by my emotions. I begged God to give me the much needed discernment. This is a daily plea. There have been times when pastors/christians/others, have asked me to intervene in some matters, and God's Mercy has helped us to discern the deception/prematurity of action etc just in time. As I said, in my early days of practise it was not so. Only after I repented , and surrendered it to the Lord did I marvel at the divine discernment/protection I saw. By sharing, as you have rightly said, we encourage one another, so that together we can marvel at His wondrous works. For years, I thought I was some kind of spiritual freak, I could not understand why God gave me 'weird' visions. In my early walk, (I repent that now though), I tore up my note-book full of visions. I was afraid that I was 'opening myself up' to some 'weird' stuff. But God showed me over the years, the visions that did come to pass. You see the notebook was gone, but I could not tear up the visions that were burning in my heart. I could not forget them. Where there is the false, how else will we recognize it, but by God's gift of discernment? Hebrews 5:14 But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses excercised to discern both good and evil. your sister in Christ Swarna

Jackie, this is so very beautiful, enough to make one weep. Thanks for sharing. God was there Jackie, God was there! I was born in 1953, the third female child in a row. A brother born years before me had died of small pox. My grandmother was in a state of shock to hear that a third girl child was born. She sat in the pitch dark, would not even switch the lights on. She cooked no food, but sat lamenting and mourning. She commanded her son, (my father) to throw me in the well. My father who had imbibed the things that were good during the British Raj in India, refused point blank. He was not going to be guided by 'cultural shame'. My Aunt who lived in Northern Ireland, told me this story more elaborately years later. After me, my mother gave birth to four sons, so now I was considered 'lucky'. When I first believed in our Lord Jesus Christ in 1989 ( a shock to my hindu family), I asked the Lord about my physical birth, He showed me vividly that He was there. All the years of rejection I had carried with me fled, just knowing that He was there. And it is well with my soul........... Thank you for sharing Jackie. It has ministered to me. God bless you abundantly. your sister in Christ Swarna

VISION: MUSIC IN HIS EARS VISION RECEIVED IN GOA- India 31ST MAY 2006 10.20 P.M. Large giant sized brand new, shiny guitars, synthesizers, speakers, every manner of musical instruments and accessories from around the world, appeared before God. The Lord was angry and He was grieving. People had not played these instruments, just dedicated them. Even the eagles there could not understand exactly what it was that was grieving God, and disgusting Him. Nonetheless they told the people gathered before them that God was disgusted at the

Yes! I was reading in Acts 17:26-27 this morning and read something I had never noticed before: "From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us." God determines the times set for nations (beginning to end), so that men will seek him and reach out for him. From what I read in my commentary, the indication was that God determines the beginning and end of nations and the purpose is to turn hearts to him. I can't help but think this must mean that God allows nations to come to an end perhaps when they begin to get too big so that they will seek God's face. Another scripture the Lord has given me recently, I Kings 18:36-37: "At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed:

Thanks Windance. Yes God desires us to be humble and not lean on our titles. God will surely humble those who exalt themselves. your sister in Christ Swarna

13th May 2006 VISION: THE PEOPLE OF GOD WILL SNIFF I saw White Eagles wheeling in many believers into a hospital room on stretchers. These believers had cotton stuffed in their nostrils. This was removed on the operating table. An operation to enhance the sense of smell in these believers was taking place. All that was old within was removed. Dust and cobwebs had collected deep within the nasal passages. And a new smell sensitive self-cleansing filter was transplanted. This

I have experienced this before in my church. The brother who had rebuked me I have been fellowshipping for over a year now. I feel we would not be compatible if we were outside of the church (personality wise) but the Lord is definetely doing something with our fellowship together. I may have grown the most through this relationship. The eagles may get so caught up in their fulfilling prophesy that they forget to heed the warnings themselves. question: is this a judgement that is happening now or will be in the future? The area on the edge of a desert...this is the place where many Christians are not walking in the spirit and who don't know the Spirit. They persecute those who walk by the spirit. The hooded folk also are not true worships who worship in spirit and truthfulness. They read and receive the Word of God with human understanding and not with spiritual understanding. So this is the desert where they remain dry and thirsty inside. The judgements are prophesied on these people by the eagles. There are many people standing there with black hoods. Many Christians are standing with black hoods who have received judgement and are awaiting their verdicts. I have felt this way before. I have always known that God would be merciful to those wearing the black hoods but I would be annoyed to see so little judgement for their rejection of the truth and persecution of the messengers. The hooded folk did not suffer much discomfort so the eagles wanted to see more suffering put upon them. The eagles take it into their own hands to inflict the suffering which should be only in the judgement of God. I see that while the hooded folk have learned the truth and have been convicted of their error, the people who have prophesied on them (eagles) will want to remind them of their error and how they were right and the hooded folk wrong. In such a way, the hooded folk become scratched and bleeding.

Thanks Nebula. This vision is to remind us that the prophecies are a message from God. Prophets are messengers. They cannot have personal agendas. It is God who decides whom he will judge and upon whom He will have mercy. All a man's ways seem innocent to him, but motives are weighed by the Lord. God bless you your sister in Christ Swarna

Thank you for your insightful post. Yes Jackie, I believe many of us have foolishly 'put God in a box". The physical man wants to make 'sense' of everything. Reason everything, apply logic to the mysteries of God. Truly, if only we could see with our spiritual eyes, the multi-dimensions of God. Our God is an Awesome God. Thanks Jackie, your sister in Christ Swarna

7th May 06 VISION : GLOATING EAGLES : BLOODTHIRSTY EAGLES The Gloating Eagles It was late afternoon on a cold, icy autumn day. The skies were gray. Several Angels and White Eagles, had cordoned off an area in a large Christian cemetery, the type you could find in Europe or any western country. There were new graves, with headstones and each of them, had a shelf space, which held Judgment Decrees with seals on them. These decrees were final judgments. There was utmost silence. The execution of the Decrees was underway. The Eagle police were patrolling the skies, and issuing warnings to all eagles to keep clear from this area. But there were some young eagles, which could not curb their curiosity and sneaked into the cemetery, unnoticed by the Police Eagles. They hurriedly flew to the graves, to get a quick peek at the Judgment Decrees. To their utter delight, in the decrees were the exact same words that these eagles had prophesied, about the newly buried. Unable to contain their excitement they started to dance on the graves, boasting one to another that all their words had come to pass. They began gloating. They became rather noisy and even quarreled amongst themselves, as to who gave the word first. So great was the din they created (their words were heard in towns and certain groups began gloating too) that they did not care that the Eagle Police were demanding that eaglets report immediately to the detention center. The eagles despised being called eaglets and shouted back that they were eagles and not eaglets. To which the Police Eagles patrolling the skies replied that as long as they behaved in this immature manner, they would be addressed as eaglets. The eagles became so consumed with the noisy activity of dancing and gloating, they did not notice the angels and white eagles, silently walking around with a measuring line and without warning, the earth shook and split open, also there was a mammoth mud slide and the graves, along with the eagles were swallowed up. A new ground was created above them. The graves disappeared under the mud, but the eagles found little cubbyholes underground, to shelter in. There they kept reminding themselves of all that they had learnt from the

Amen. I think that applies to many areas in the faith. We get enamoured with programs rather than God EricH, you are right. It does apply to many areas in the faith. Sometimes we tend to treat our faith/salvation as a commodity, as a 'T.V.' set, which always seems to need upgrading and exchanging for a newer version......why? to ' keep up with the Joneses" We get so easily glamorized. So therefore let us fix our eyes on Jesus the author and perfector of our faith who for the joy set before him, endured the cross, and scorning it's shame sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. love...in Christ Swarna

Yes Nebula, when our flesh is not put to death, we are often times led by our senses. We seek 'thrills'. The '"grass always seems greener on the other side" . Never satisfied with simple truths we willingly submit to seductions. There is a dread in our flesh, that 'we might miss it'. That 'God will pass us by' . But those who believe and trust in God, will not make haste. They will not judge by mere appearances, but will make a righteous judgment. thanks Nebula love........in Christ Swarna
