The Night is Over…..The Day Has Begun
June 10, 2001:
Last night was a strange night, but so have almost them all since January 1st. Somewhere in the middle of it I realized I was not sleeping. All I was doing was waiting for the night to pass. Yesterday I had been in prayer and meditation, struggling with a specific message I was to share. Please understand, THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT moved and SCRIPTURES flowed, but I struggled to understand. After many hours of prayer and 3-4 at the key board I attempted to e-mail everything. What I received was a return post titled MAILER-DAEMON.
In fact said DAEMON posted to me three times yesterday…..something that has not happened for years. Or at least not since I learned to put the whole and proper address on the emails I post. The last few days have been frustrating. This Daemon did not help at all. So it took a while waiting out the night for me to realize I had no drawing in my spirit to pray. To talk with ABBA. And this bothered me more than all the “stuff” I have contended with the last 6 months. I needed sleep but could not. I needed communion with my ABBA and did not. The sense of wrongness was intense. So I called upon THE LORD….and HE answered me….with an old question. Isaiah answered it 2600 years ago. About four years ago I had no answer. And what grieved me briefly was that I still had no answer when asked tonight.
ABBA ASKED….”WATCHMAN, WHAT OF THE NIGHT….”
One night long ago I received the first “PROPHETIC WORD” you might call it to be sent out. In it THE MOST HIGH dictated into my spirit and it flowed forth. Tonight was different. something has changed. it is hard to explain. It is beautiful and terrible all at the same time, but I understand.
“WATCHMAN, WHAT OF THE NIGHT? WATCHMAN WHAT OF THE NIGHT? THE MORNING COMES AND THEN ONCE MORE THE NIGHT. SO FEW HAVE LISTENED, SO FEW HAVE REPENTED, SO FEW HAVE COME† TO THE LIGHT.”
“SO IT WAS WRITTEN AS IT WAS SPOKEN FROM MY MOUTH, SO WATCHMAN WHY DO YOU GRIEVE? THE NIGHT IS FINISHED AND YOU HAVE STOOD YOUR WATCH. THAT IS ALL YOU WERE EVER CALLED TO DO. THE DAY COMES AND THE WARNINGS WERE NOT HEEDED. FEW HAVE PREPARED FOR THE STORM.
FEW KNOW THE NAME OF THE LORD AND HONOR IT ALONE. ONLY THIS REMNANT SHALL RUN TO THE TOWER AND BE SAVED IN THE DAY AHEAD.”
“FEW INDEED ARE THE CHILDREN OF TEMA, FEW INDEED ARE THOSE WHO I WILL POUR OUT. IN THE VALLEY OF VISION MANY NOW STAND ON THEIR HOUSETOPS AND REFUSED TO RUN TO THE MOUNTAIN AND THE PLACE PREPARED. SO MANY HAVE FALLEN AND WILL FALL, SLAIN BUT NOT IN THE BATTLE LINE. THEY WEAR NO ARMOR, HOLD NO SWORD. FOR THEY WERE NEVER BORN IN THE HOUSE OF THE GREAT FATHER.”
“I WEEP BITTERLY FOR THE VIRGIN DAUGHTER WAS RAPED AND PLUNDERED BY THOSE WHO WERE SENT TO PROTECT HER. THEY FORSOOK MY WORDS AND TOOK TO THEMSELVES THAT WHICH WAS NOT THEIRS. THEY LISTENED TO THE SILKY WORDS OF THE WANTON AND JOINED HER IN HER BED IN THYATIRA. THEY TURNED TO SERVE OTHER MASTERS BECAUSE IT WAS COMELY IN THEIR SIGHT AND RATIONALIZED IT IN THEIR MINDS”.
“THE NEW DAWN IS FOR A DAY OF TROUBLE AND GREAT DECEPTION. IT IS A DAY WHERE ALL THAT WAS BUILT UP WILL BE TORN DOWN, EVEN HERE IN THE VALLEY OF VISION. A DAY OF CALAMITY, A DAY OF CONFUSION. A DAY NOT TO BE IGNORED. A DAY NOT TO BE FORGOTTEN.”
“FOR THE WALLS WILL BE SHATTERED, THE HEDGES TORN AWAY. MANY SHALL CALL TO THE MOUNTAINS BUT WILL NOT BE HEARD. FOR I WILL NOT BE THERE TO HEAR THEM. THOSE WHO SOUGHT ME FOUND ME IN THE APPOINTED TIME. NOW THAT TIME HAS PASSED.”
MANY WILL CALL FOR ME TO COME TO THEM IN THEIR TROUBLES. IGNORING THE FACT THAT I SENT MANY TO AWAKEN THEM FROM THEIR STUPOR. IF THEY HAD BEEN FAITHFUL AND TRUE, AWAKE AND SOBER THEY WOULD HAVE HEARD THE TRUMPET AND FLED TO THE SAFETY OF MY PAVILION.”
“SO TURN AWAY NOW MY WATCHMEN, THOSE WHO HAVE STOOD IN THE COLD AND THE DARKNESS. TURN AWAY BECAUSE THE NIGHT IS OVER AND THE GREAT AND DREADFUL DAY HAS COME. YOUR DUTIES ARE COMPLETE.”
“YOU HAVE BEEN FAITHFUL IN THE SMALL THINGS. GREATER THINGS ARE AHEAD.”
I sit here spent and sore. ABBA in the midst of it all said it was okay to be worn down and to be worn out. It had been a long and hard “ride”. But He again said it was “GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.”, so I’m still TRUSTING….there is no other choice.
I hope all have found their MOUNTAIN and their place prepared. I have my cleft it seems.
peace to all
