To Sing in the Storm
January 30, 2000 @1500 hours….
I had just fallen asleep when I was standing in a “place” of quiet and darkness. As I stood and looked into “nothingness” I heard……
I HAVE CALLED MANY TO RETURN TO THE ANCIENT WAYS. I LOOKED FOR
SERVANTS WHO WILL STAND UPRIGHT BEFORE ME IN THE MIDST OF TRIALS
AND STORMS. LIKE JOB I ASKED FOR ”MEN” WHO WOULD STAND IN MY PRESENCE AND HEAR ME. TO RESPOND TO MY CHARGE AGAINST MANKIND AND BEAR WITNESS OF ME TO A WORLD THAT DOES NOT KNOW ME.
SO MANY FELL TO THE SIMPLE FOOTMEN AND COULD NOT RUN THE RACE TO
THE FINISH LINE. NOW THE HORSEMEN AND CHARIOTS ENTER THE PLACE OF BATTLE AND FEW STAND TALL BEFORE ME. OVER IS THE QUIET AND THE
DAYLIGHT. OVER NOW IS THE SWEET SONGS OF CHILDHOOD. BECAUSE THEY
CHOSE NOT TO SEEK ME WHILE I CALLED TO THEM, URGING THEM TO
FORSAKE THEIR REBELLION AND THEIR OBSTINACIES. I NOW CLOSE THE DOOR
NO MAN CAN OPEN. MANY WILL ARGUE AND DENY THAT I WOULD DO SUCH A THING. THEIR PROBLEM IS THEY WORSHIP AT AN ALTAR OF THEIR OWN
MAKING AND NOT MINE. THEY SALUTE ME WITH SWEET LIPS AND COLD, DEAD HEARTS FOR THEY ARE A DOUBLEMINDED PEOPLE COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THEIR REPROBATE STATUS.
THEY DO NOT KNOW MY NAME, MY WAYS, AND MY WILL YET SPEAK BOLDLY
OF WHAT THEY SAY I AM. THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN PRESUMPTUOUS SIN,
FOR IF THEY KNEW MY NAME AND FEARED MY NAME THEY WOULD BE SILENT
BEFORE ME. BECAUSE MY NAME IS JEALOUS AND I CLAIM THE SOVEREIGN
RIGHT OF VENGEANCE AGAINST MY ENEMIES I HAVE CLOSED THE ”DOOR”. I HAVE SHREDDED THE HEAVENLIES AND RELEASED MY GLORY UPON A CORRUPT AND DECEIVING WORLD.
THE TIME TO SEEK ME HAS ENDED AS YOU KNEW IT. NOW YOU WILL LEARN
THE SONGS OF WAR AND TERROR. THE SONGS OF EXALTATION AND WORSHIP
THAT I DEMAND ARE FROM THOSE WHO STAND UPRIGHT BEFORE ME IN THE
CENTER OF THE WHIRLWIND. THOSE WHO WORSHIP ME IN SPIRIT AND IN
TRUTH I WILL SURROUND LIKE THE MOUNTAINS SURROUND JERUSALEM. THEY
WILL SING MY SONG IN THE MIDST OF THE MAELSTROM, NOT IN THE “EYE” OF
THE STORM AS MANY HAVE BEEN LED TO BELIEVE. FOR THEIR IS NO CALM TO BE FOUND. THOSE WHO SING IN THE FIRE ARE THE ”APPLE” OF MY EYE. THIS HAS NEVER CHANGED FOR I NEVER CHANGE.
MY BELOVED SANG OF ME AS THE MIGHTY KING OVER ALL THE EARTH. THE GREAT AND TERRIBLE GOD, HIS ROCK WHO TAUGHT HIS HANDS TO WAR, WHO DESTROYED HIS ENEMIES AND EXALTED HIM OVER ALL THE NATIONS BECAUSE IT PLEASED ME.
SO LOOK FOR THOSE WHO STAND AND SING MY SONG IN THE MIDST OF THE DARKNESS THAT NOW COVERS THE LAND. CLING TO THEM AND ASK TO BEAR THEIR NAMES FOR THEY ARE THE PILLARS OF FIRE IN THIS NEW SEASON OF
UTTER DARKNESS AND PERVERSION. THAT IS THE CLEANSING FIRE SO MANY
HAVE SPOKEN SO LOOSELY ABOUT FOR SO LONG WITHOUT TRUE
UNDERSTANDING. THEY ARE MY SERVANTS WHO ARE BLINDAND DEAF TO EVERYTHING BUT ME, FOR I AM A JEALOUS GOD, A HOLY GOD, A GOD WHO WILL NOT SUFFER ANY LONGER REBELLION IN MY SIGHT.
With that I felt the wind tearing around me and was ”blinded” by the lightnings and “deafened” by the continuous roar of thunder. I feel like singing…..
No longer sure what my name is… but it does not seem important right now so….

Note: Please understand that this word is to the rebellious who continued in sin and refused to repent and come to correction, having been given ample time by the Master. They are those who have grown complacent in their own self-righteousness and personal idolatry whom God has given over to a reprobate mind (Romans 1:28-32).
