On April 9th I posted my dream of two years ago for interpretation.  Joe Hoyle responded to it.  The following 2 days or so we sent each other a follow up note.  During those days I did not have time to read my email at work.  I have been busy working my unemployment cases, and so when I received my usual daily email from SEVEN LETTERS all I could do was to print them and stuck them in a file to read it later.  Today 04/14/04 I finally finished my cases and decided to read my email.
Lord God!  was I in for a big surprise with what I read.
Does someone else care to join me in what I did to resolve my dream?  Jesus promises it will be the best thing you ever did.  Perhaps your christian boots need some dusting off?  Will you please talk to Him?  How about now?
This is what I read.  And also please if you have time, also read my other post titled:
FISHER OF MEN.

In the Sea of Galilee…!!!

Suddenly, the storm is raging, the winds have shifted, temperatures have risen, pressure is elevated, waves are heightened…and Jesus spoke Peace, Be Still!! Even the wind and the waves and the storms obey HIM. Be not afraid. Do not doubt. I AM your strength, I AM your peace, I AM the peace that calms the winds and waves and I AM with you that you may overcome all that has surrounded you, come against you and troubled you. I AM THE GREAT I AM!! For if I am with you ; what can come against you? Think it not a strange thing that this has risen before you. If you will look at Me and to Me you will come through the waters that have risen up upon you and around you.

Through a prophetic vision; the Lord hath shown me a "body" of water that was calm and peaceful and shallow…like a sandbar. Suddenly, a there came a thunderous voice warning all who are in the water to make way to the shore for there are high waves rolling in. Within moments, as many run towards the shore the waves become intense all around as we can no longer run, but must swim in the waves making way to safety. As many are swimming now the waves become too intense to swim. Now, some are being thrown to the shore others tumbling in the waves. The winds, the wave are extreme and then…the waves are frozen still, as ice. Some are caught up and frozen in the midst of the now icy, frozen still waves. There are many casualties; I see the RED CROSS rescuing those on the shore, and those who were caught up in the waves that were frozen still. As if a picture was freeze framed. Selah…

We are the body. The body of water in this vision. God has shown me that when we are in Jesus and He in us; the water is still and calm and at peace as in the sandbar. Trials and tests and tribulation will come and have come in this hour in greater measure than we have seen in the past. In the Sea of Galilee, which is known for its sudden and violent storms that come without warning. There are three things that contribute to this happening. 1. shifting winds, 2. Temperatures 3. pressure. The combination of all three have caused a violent and sudden storm within the "body" of water; within the Sea of Galilee.

Please hear this. Lord, I ask you now to sharpen spiritual discernment and open the ears of your people to hear what You are saying and give the reader understanding of Your word. In Jesus Name. Amen

We are now past the sandbar. This word and vision is for all of us in the "Body" of Christ. The holy spirit is pressing upon me to simply share with you what He has shown me and give His written word and it will bring clarity to you in itself. Below, I will show you what He has shown me. This word is to simply say…you must be firmly planted in Him alone, grounded and know that God is God. He is the same yesterday, today and forever more. We must be conditioned in the spirit to run this race, swim through the waves. We are in the hour where we must be walking in His strength, His love, His peace, His authority. We must know that it is Jesus who calms the winds and waves of the sea. They obey Him. Jesus slept on the boat in the midst of the storm. We must truly rest in the peace He gives that surpasses all understanding. We must not lean on our own understanding but acknowledge HIM alone in all of our ways and through it all.

Are you in the Sea of Galilee? Jesus knew this body of water well. He traveled to and fro in this water. He ministered all around this body of water. He knew storms would come in this lake. He watched the disciples fear and doubt who He was even in their midst. Are you afraid like the disciples were on the boat? Are you doubting who Jesus is, knowing He will speak a word and calm the winds and the waves? Are you running to Jesus? Are you living for Jesus? Is He living in you? Has the pressure gotten to you? Have the trials worn you out? It is time to grab a hold of His hand tighter than you have ever held on. Hang on to Jesus. He is your life preserver. STOP…STOP…don't look at the storm, or how high the waves have gotten….Look, Look its JESUS….and He is reaching out to you. No matter what happens, we have JESUS. Peace, Peace unto this body of water Lord. Every thing and every name shall bow unto the name of Jesus Christ. Peace to the wind, Peace to the waves, Peace to the pressure, Peace to temperatures, Peace to all of us in the body as we endure and press through. Silence the accuser, the oppressor, the persecutor, the gossiper,the lying deceiver and any spirit that is not of You. I speak Lord in Your authority against anything that has risen up or that is trying to rise up against your chosen people. We speak life and not death...success and not failure. We are rich and not poor. We can see for you bring all things to the light. We speak directly to the opposing spirit ; I say to it…you are cast down, powerless and defeated in Jesus name. We walk in victory and overcome all things through the blood of the Lamb and we walk in the resurrecting power of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
 

Today, The Lord would say; Peace, Be still and know that I am God. For though the storm is raging all around you I AM still I AM!! When the winds shift and the storms come without warning, when pressures are upon you and temperatures are rising; know that I am God. I know the Sea of Galilee.
 
 

I stand for you and with you and never leave you nor forsake you. Who can come against you? I know the water, I know the storm, I know the winds, I know the pressures, and I know the waves. I am calling for a people, a chosen army that will rise up and come through. (We must know that to live is Christ and even to die is gain. Phillipians 1:21.) In this army will be those who have had training in the desert and training in the waters of the rough and violent seas. Those who know I am sleeping in their boat; they have not any need to fear, or worry or doubt that with a word I will rebuke the wind and waves and the storms. We have God almighty, Jehovah Jireh, Prince of Peace, the Alpha and the Omega. The beginning and the victorious end. Do not let one of you be against the other. Let it be all for One and One for all.

For someone reading this…the Lord is saying to you…

This is not about your ministry but Him ministering through you. It is not about what you can do, but what He will do through you. It is not how you can talk the talk but how you walk the walk with Jesus. If everyone leaves you will you still stand with Jesus? If all come against you will you still trust in Jesus? If the storm is the worst it could ever be would you surrender to the storm and its winds and it waves or will you fight in the Lord until the end? Put on your holy ghost scuba gear, wet suit, snorkel and get out your word and surf and ride the waves with the word. He will bring us through. Our reward is Him. He is our umbrella, He is our raincoat, He is our shelter, He is our refuge, He is our defense, He is our physician, He is our healer, He is our redeemer, He is alive within us. The boat may have filled up with water but the boat did not sink. We are crossing over to the other side in Jesus Name. We are coming out and moving in to receive the promises He has given. Yes, its been a long time, yes, well worth the wait, Yes, says the Lord, You are coming to the other side. The land filled with milk and honey. A place in Me that you have never been before. Watch for the warning, watch for the rain, watch for the shifting of the winds, watch for rising temperatures, watch for pressures, watch for ME; saith the Lord. Then.........in the midst of the raging storm and all that comes with it, you will swim smoothly and peacefully in ME and to ME.
