dirigible - a steerable self-propelled aircraft
Dirigibles, or motor-driven lighter-than-air craft that can be flown against the wind and steered, were first constructed in America by Caesar Spiegler.
I was asking the Lord if He would speak on all that’s going on, and I got the word DIRIGIBLE. [ more from encyclopedia below ]
I felt the Lord speaking:
“There are many in this nation who remember days of lack and tough times. There are many who have seen through hard times enough to be helpful in this hour. This nation will I yet have mercy on, and I call her a dirigible, not a sunken ship. The nation who clings to ME will have favor. This nation has strayed far from Me, but there are enough of you in this nation who have laid down your hearts and lives in prayer and fasting, and speaking forth proclamations, and who have spoken up. The winds have come, but if you cling to ME, you will be like a dirigible flown against the winds of adversity and I WILL see you through.
The times are tenuous, and there will be much turmoil THROUGHOUT the WORLD. I will still perform My words to you, for I have a good plan for those who have clung to ME. I have a good plan for the many yet who WILL COME through a great harvesting of souls. Be content with the things that you do have and be ready to give an answer for the HOPE that lies within you, no matter what the circumstances. SPEAK LIFE to the dead bones ! SPEAK LIFE to your unsaved relatives. SPEAK MY WILL in circumstances and speak My WORD to ward off the fear of the enemy, and all his intimidations. Ask Me to put a guard at the door of your mouth that you would not complain, to heal your heart of anything that would make you do so.
Perilous times only mean that you will see MY GLORY manifesting more often in situations as you STAND in FAITH. There is a little faith on earth in this hour. There is ENOUGH to move mountains. So speak to the mountains. Speak to the winds and storms. BELIEVE in My goodness towards you. STAND beloveds and do not fold. Do not give in to discouragement and hopelessness. Know that the hour is close at hand for My coming. Despite all the atrocities they will dredge up, and the onslaught of the enemy, I will perfect My bride and GLORIFY HER WITH MY LOVE AND POWER. Much of what you see will break your hearts, but I am greater than your heart. Cast all your cares ON ME. I AM MIGHTY in power and awesome in My wonders.
There is nothing I will cannot get you through. Many will see martyrdom, but not till I SAY.
Nothing can thwart the call I have on your lives. There will be much animosity against you in the coming days as men give all manner of reasons to hate you. The harlot church will hate the remnant as I pour out My glory on her. The beast will hate the harlot, and destroy her to fulfill My will. These things I have told you of long ago. The scriptures have prepared you, and you know where you are in time if you read them. Some of you are called to save one person. Some of you are called to save 10, or 20, or 50 or 100. Some are called to save thousands or millions. But I have assigned each of you a commission in this life. For some it’s your family. For some it’s your neighborhood. For some it’s a nation. For some of you it is just to love ME with all of your heart and soul and to worship ME. For some it is to pray and to have a life like Anna of prayer and fasting. It is enough to do this.
Cast off any selfish ambition and be willing to do what I want you to do. For I will use every one of you in the harvest to come. Live what you read and you will be of great effect. For the world is LOOKING at you. They are watching how you react in various situations. They are looking for LOVE. They are looking for what is REAL. LOVE your enemies. Be good to those who hate you. Pray for those who spitefully use you. Know that wickedness is on the rise, and chaos and bedlam, are arising with the antichrist spirit in the earth. Lawlessness is abounding. But MY LOVE abounds even MORE. MY GRACE abounds even MORE !
Fly in the face of the wind, like an eagle in flight !
Follow My lead!”

Dirigibles, or motor-driven lighter-than-air craft that can be flown against the wind and steered, were first constructed in America by Caesar Spiegler. His first dirigible made its maiden flight 3 July 1878, with the great American balloonist John Wise as its pilot. Thomas Scott Baldwin built the first dirigible for the government; it was 96 feet long and had a 20-horsepower engine built by Glenn H. Curtiss. Called the SC-1, it made its first flight at Fort Myer, Virginia, in August 1908.
When the United States entered World War I, the U.S. Navy ordered sixteen dirigibles of the nonrigid type. Developed from a British model the Royal Navy used for antisubmarine patrols, U.S. Navy personnel who had been positioned in England used the English nickname for the nonrigid airship—"blimp"—and the term subsequently came into common usage in the United States. By the end of the war the navy had twenty "B-type" blimps (77,000–84,000 cubic feet; single engine) and ten "C-type" blimps (182,000 cubic feet; twin engine). In 1919 the navy airship C-5 failed in its attempt to fly across the Atlantic, but nevertheless set a 1,177-mile nonstop distance record between Montauk, New York, and Saint John's, Newfoundland, where it was destroyed in an accident.
