This morning as I looked out my window the sun was shining, illuminating the foliage, bringing fire to the trees and their leaves.

I thought, “Lord, what do you have for me?”

I saw a few things.

I saw tanks pulling in across the horizon. The Lord showed me there was an all out attack on grace and it’s ability to change people…and to leave it alone. That He had it. Personally, I pretty much gave up being a grace policeman in the kingdom a while ago. People attack me and friends of mine. I saw the tanks go after people and men hunting the “perpetrators” of the message.I thought to myself, “wow, that sounds like Saul on the road to Damascus.”

Lately when I pray I see people getting wowed by the message of unconditional love and grace. My visions often have men from religion of Islam and Hinduism being converted by the one who sets free.

Only yesterday I listened to a radio station for a short time with a Christian speaker who was talking about the “rebuilding of the temple, the meeting between Putin and Rouhani, the world is going to end, get ready, get ready…” WOW! I forgot what that world was like.

Let me blunt. Anyone can “predict” the bad. It has been here a long time and until we, the salt and light, step up to the plate, who cares. Go hunker down somewhere. Hide from the boogeymen.

Ok, I need to stop. As Popeye says, I canst take it no more.”

I believe we are on the wave of an unprecedented move of God through His people in such a mighty way. Will we do it by chasing enemies? NO! We will do it by what a spiritual dad once said to me was “working in an opposite spirit.” Where there is hatred we will express love. Condemnation and legalism overcome by grace. Doubt replaced with wisdom.

In August of 1996 I had a vision that connected to a dream from 1989.

1989
I awoke from a dream-in that dream I saw millions of people leaving the waters of the ocean and coming up on shore. It was a long curved expanse, much like the East coast of the United States. In that dream I saw the sign Zebedee Fishing Factory.

1996 vision-Some years later while in our church fellowship, I saw Psalm 84 appear and the words Pools of Rain or blessings of the teacher. Shortly after that- I heard His voice declare a ministry that would enter into the supernatural workings of Him. Most recently I saw a church with much pain in the leadership and the marriages and the relationships of that church. Next to it a building had a single sign.

Rich Waters.

Part of that vision took me into the lower levels of a legalistic church. People were chained to walls, seeking food and water. The “priest” of the house told me “I do not know how to help them. Will you?”

People will come when “they know our love”.

Where is the power some might ask? This is a season where God is empowering ALL the people. As the message of grace and a finished work permeate the fabric of the nations, empowerment is coming.

Salt loses its savor when it no longer seasons and brings forth taste and flavor. We have become so used to bland, fast, unappetizing foods that many do not recognize or avoid good food. The same is found in the dulling of our spiritual taste buds. Real seasoning awakens us.  Mixture dulls us. It creates emotional instability.

You and I are called to be “salt and light” NOT “bland and dark!”

A few years ago a man told America business “if you have a business, you didn’t build that.” He was wrong. They had. But many believed the lie.

Thousands of years ago a snake told a woman you could build this. And he was wrong. But many believed the lie. And so they continue to “build” a kingdom not of God, but of works and religious trappings.

Folks, if we could build it Jesus wasted His time hanging on a cross. And none professing belief in Christianity believes that…Until you watch their actions!

Focus on calling out the goodness of God and His great love. Oh, it may take you a bit to realize that is the message of good news, but watch!
