Dark Threads
July 14th, 2008 1:42 am
“ Darkness comes on the wings of the wind beloveds. But I have you in My hands, just as I had My people many thousands of years ago in the land of Egypt. What has been written is for your edification, and comfort, encouragement and instruction. Have you not seen ? Have you not heard ? I AM the MIGHTY ONE OF ISRAEL. You need the bigger picture. You need to know MY PLAN over the plans of the enemy. Many are looking at the many plans of the enemy without really seeking MY plans for YOU. YOU are the apple of My eye ! You are My treasured possession. Just as I worked in Moses to confront the darkness of his time, I am going to work in YOU to confront the darkness of your time. Are you UNBUSY enough to hear ? Are you willing to get MY perspective on what is coming. For what is coming is more than all that the enemy could throw at you.
In any war there are casualties, and this spiritual war will bring MANY casualties. But the victories will be more than the casualties if YOU BELIEVE for My intervention on your behalf more than in the enemy’s plans for you. Many make me way too weak and impotent. They are unbelieving believers. I want you free from all unbelief, doubt, skepticism and bitterness. I am not looking for fearful followers ! I am looking for Gideons, for Elijah’s for Elishas for those who are willing to LAY DOWN their lives that they may pick up Mine. I am looking for the Moses’ that will rise up and do what I lead them to. I am looking for the Davids who will worship ME.
There have been plans being woven in darkness for a LONG TIME to eliminate many on behalf of the enemy of your souls. But I have MY PLANS. I have a plan that has been written from of old.
Isa 60:1-5 AMP
1 ARISE [from the depression and prostration in which circumstances have kept you — rise to a new life]! Shine (be radiant with the glory of the Lord), for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you! [Zech 8:23.]
2 For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and dense darkness [all] peoples, but the Lord shall arise upon you [O Jerusalem], and His glory shall be seen on you. [Isa 60:19-22; Mal 4:2; Rev 21:2,3.]
3 And nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising. [Isa 2:2,3; Jer 3:17.]
4 Lift up your eyes round about you and see! They all gather themselves together, they come to you. Your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be carried and nursed in the arms.
5 Then you shall see and be radiant, and your heart shall thrill and tremble with joy [at the glorious deliverance] and be enlarged; because the abundant wealth of the [Dead] Sea shall be turned to you, unto you shall the nations come with their treasures. [Ps 119:32.]
Rev 12:6 AMP And the woman [herself] fled into the desert (wilderness), where she has a retreat prepared [for her] by God, in which she is to be fed and kept safe for 1,260 days (42 months; three and one-half years).
Rev 12:13-17 And when the dragon saw that he was cast down to the earth, he went in pursuit of the woman who had given birth to the male Child. 14 But the woman was supplied with the two wings of a giant eagle, so that she might fly from the presence of the serpent into the desert (wilderness), to the retreat where she is to be kept safe and fed for a time, and times, and half a time (three and one-half years, or 1,260 days). [Dan 7:25; 12:7.]
15 Then out of his mouth the serpent spouted forth water like a flood after the woman, that she might be carried off with the torrent. 16 But the earth came to the rescue of the woman, and the ground opened its mouth and swallowed up the stream of water which the dragon had spouted from his mouth. 17 So then the dragon was furious (enraged) at the woman, and he went away to wage war on the remainder of her descendants — [on those] who obey God's commandments and who have the testimony of Jesus Christ [and adhere to it and bear witness to Him].
Can you imagine the surprise of the enemy when what I have written comes to pass ? Can you imagine your own surprise when I fulfill My promises to you ? Don’t you know yet, how much I love you ? I AM your Bridegroom, and I will fight with and for you !
I am a protective Husband, not a neglectful One ! I am not a man that I should lie, nor a son of man that I should change My mind. I will hide you in the wilderness, and I will keep you in the PALM of MY HAND ! NOTHING can snatch you from My hand.
The beast is not the victor ! The beast is not the winner! I AM GOD, and I AM THE SOVREIGN of the Universe ! It is I WHO HOLD THE KEYS TO DEATH AND HELL.
Where are your accusers now beloved ? Where are those who know as much as I know? I AM the great I AM. There is nothing hidden from My eyes. I see the dark threads trying to integrate themselves into My church and My kingdom, unhindered. But I am not Blind as you are. I am not impotent as you make me out to be. I don’t NEED YOUR HELP TO ERADICATE DARKNESS. I AM YOUR INVINCIBLE ARMY !
There is NOTHING TOO HARD FOR ME TO HANDLE. I tell you to WAIT, WAIT, WAIT on ME. Do not run out ahead of the team that is to accompany you on your journey. I am assembling yet My army, My air force, My navy, My marines. I’m not frustrated as you are ! I AM LOVE. I am a patient Father. I am a patient Lover. My Spirit will not strive. HE will help you to OVERCOME if you LET Him have rulership over you. GIVE HIM PERMISSION to do what He wants, and watch !
I have LOTS OF SURPRISES I am sending out NOW. Be ready beloveds as the ride is getting faster. MY GLORY IS COMING TO TRANSFORM YOU. I AM AT HAND.
BE EXPECTANT ! ARISE AND SHINE FOR YOUR LIGHT HAS COME !”
I also feel to post the following vision I had in 2003:
Deer Vision
5/13/03
Priscilla Van Sutphin
tearsofthefather@sbcglobal.net
During Patti Liu playing piano, and Gail Marinello playing flute
at our Songs of Solomon study.
It was if the music itself was telling a story.
I saw a female doe standing in a brook taking a drink of water
and she looks up and sees coming out of the forest on the left
bank of the stream, a very regal looking stag deer.
He's like inviting her to run and play and they romp
and leap in and out of the stream and grassy areas
and it is so beautiful there.
Then she is looking at His face...staring at Him...
then...
She looks up and there is an eagle flying, and she wants to fly
with the eagle and it's like for a time she is given wings
and the form of an eagle to see what it feels like.
And the eagle is flying with her, and they float, and fly,
and do turns and go up and down, and fly in the shadow
of the sun.
Then she is on the ground again near the water with HIM.
And another stag comes out of the forest.
He is black, not the color of deer normally.
And the regal one spars with him and pins him with his antlers
to the ground and that one retreats.
At this point I got a prophetic song
a response to this vision about running with Him.
There was a pause, then as they picked up playing again
it began again...
I saw them again romping upstream, then there was a waterfalls
and they go behind the waterfalls, and there is a bed of grass .
He has prepared for her to rest in, and they lie down together
necks enfolded together .
Later I see Him going and getting grasses and other plants
for her to eat, and I sense it is the things she likes most to eat
and I see that she is pregnant and time keeps going like that,
for a long time.
There are other animals going to and fro from the stream
during this time that I was aware of, and through the bushes
and fields ,
but the couple is hidden from view behind the waterfalls.
~~~~~~~~~~
I know that deer stand for overcomers and the whole scene is about the hidden place of intimacy with the Bridegroom represented by the brown regal stag.
The counterfeit stag, that is black, is of course the enemy.
It may even stand for the antiChrist.
It was so beautiful being lost in this vision that I just wanted to stay
there and I believe it speaks of the hidden place in HIM
when we have union and communion with Jesus.
And that this place is important for us to be in right now
...to live and breathe and have our being in HIM.
And the place behind the waterfalls is a place of protection while she is growing and pregnant with HIS purposes and about to bring forth new life.
I also thought it might be representing the hidden place in Rev.12
where the woman hides when satan pours out his wrath.
Song 2:10-17 NKJV
10 My beloved spoke, and said to me:"Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. 11 For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. 12 The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land. 13 The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grapes give a good smell. Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away!
14 "O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your face is lovely."
HER BROTHERS
15 Catch us the foxes,The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines have tender grapes.
THE Shulamite
16 My beloved is mine, and I am his. He feeds his flock among the lilies.
(TO HER BELOVED)
17 Until the day breaks and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag upon the mountains of Bether.
