I see an earth digger – the kind with the big arm that has a shovel that closes in the middle. It has two sides that clamp down together like jaws. It is digging into the earth. There are huge chunks of ground coming up. It actually spits the dirt out and then takes another bite.

All the snakes and critters get yanked out of their homes and are thrown to the side. Great light bursts up from the ground as the mask is pulled away.

Sometimes, we have so much junk covering us that it takes heavy lifting to reach the real self. But, once the work is done, the light shines forth.

I see a freight train steaming down the night-time tracks. It is moving with great speed as if nothing will stop it. Suddenly, I see a second train come from behind it. It is bigger and faster than the first.

As it approaches the first train from behind, the second train changes into a big snake. And, the first one changes into a little snake. The second then eats the first, and it grows into an even bigger snake with much greater speed.

But, I see a change up ahead. There is a shift in the tracks. The snake is moving at such speed that it has no intention on paying heed to the signs on the tracks. It’s pride and arrogance say that it can head straight down any pathway that it wants. So, it goes full speed ahead.

But, the fall is coming and soon is. The bridge is out, and the ravine is deep. The size and speed with which the snake operates will carry it past the warnings and through the barricades until it finds its death in the valley below.

The LORD will let pride grow and gain momentum until its own velocity becomes the greater momentum necessary for the break to occur.

Proverbs 16:18

¹⁸Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before stumbling.

America, repent.

I see a big boulder lying across the pathway on a hill. Jesus is trying to push it over – to get it rolling. The stone looks as big as a car. He is pushing and pushing. There is sweat rolling down His face, and His shirt is sopping wet.

I walk up to Him and ask what He is doing. He says that the rock of offense is in the way. He is trying to remove it, but unforgiveness provides deep roots and makes the boulder several times heavier than it really is.

Jesus is at the fair. He likes the shooting gallery. Mobs are all around Him as He knocks down all those critters going back and forth. There is a great time being had.

Even in play, He is excellence. yet, purity and holiness are still His nature.

There are all kinds of snakes crawling around the fair. Yet, this phases the LORD not. For, even when He is about to speak or do something, even the snakes stop to watch and listen. Everything is under His dominion.

Every knee will bow and every tongue confess…

There is no need to be concerned with the distractions of the enemy. They try to steal you of your destiny and take the joy out of life.

But, I say to you, “enjoy those around you right where you are.”

All are fair game to Him.

I see a deer running and leaping through the woods. He is hunted by three men. It’s Elmer Fudd, Brutus and Richard Nixon.

Every time the deer looks back, fear comes across his face. But, as he moves forward, his leaps take increasing ground. He runs until, at last, he reaches a pond by a waterfall where he lies down.

The hunters reach him there but are unable to shoot for the light reflecting off of the pond blinds them. The sounds of the rushing waters make it too loud to talk. The hunters simply turn around and walk back to where they came from.

There are many things in our past that we think want to come back and hunt us down. Most of that stuff needs to be let go. Forgiveness has already occurred. Those that still need to be dealt with in the natural should be dealt with. Make the call. Send the note. Have that lunch. For, the window is closing.

“I shall rise upon you in great glory, and when I make you free, you are free indeed. Do not let fear or your enemies keep you from moving into all that I have purposed for you.”

John 8:36
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

I see a lot of bulldozers. They are all moving forward, but no one is driving. Jesus had gotten out of the seats a long while back and desired to turn the keys over to the saints. But, the saints are not driving. They are gathered around the campfire exchanging “God is my copilot” stickers for their hardhats and singing and having a big time just lounging around.

The bulldozers kept going, however. They wandered aimlessly until they all came to a big cliff and just drove right on over the edge to the bottom below and accumulated in a big, broken pile.

The LORD has placed calls on many lives and is getting ready to turn the keys over for the forerunners to clear the pathways. It is coming, and soon is. We must answer the call and obey what He tells us.

Romans 10:14-15

¹⁴How then will they call on Him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in Him whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher?

¹⁵How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!”

The LORD says, “I shall pour fourth knowledge. For My people perish for the lack of it, and they are captive because there is lack. Bondage is no more. Bondage is no more. And, I shall bring forth a heart of humility – one that carries knowledge without puffing up. It is time that My people take their places. It is time. My Spirit shall be poured forth, and no longer will you be called disgrace. You will no longer be rejected.”

1. Isaiah 5:13
   Therefore My people go into exile for their lack of knowledge; And their honorable men are famished, And their multitude is parched with thirst.
   
   
2. Hosea 4:6
   My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge Because you have rejected knowledge,I also will reject you from being My priest Since you have forgotten the law of your God,I also will forget your children.

I see Jesus riding a big wheel through the Hispanic part of town. The wheels have those chrome thingies on them that keep spinning even when the wheels are stopped.

The LORD has on a red bandanna on and winks and smiles at you as you stare at Him. It is some kind of spectacle. He even has a tattoo of Himself on His forearm.

And, God says, “I am making a spectacle of the ways of man. Become like a child to enter the Kingdom. I am invading the lands and all peoples – even those that would bring offense to you. My son came to everyone, not just you. Humble yourself. My love is for all. Now, go out into all nations and make disciples.”

I see oil rigs in Texas. There are one, then three or four and then a bunch – too many to count. Oil comes up from the ground. It pools up.

Knee high!

You can walk in the oil.

It comes up neck deep!

You can swim in the oil.

It is summer as this happens. There is an outpouring coming. The oil will flow without measure. God is pouring out His Spirit. Texas will be instrumental in the release.

Joel 2:28-29 (New American Standard Bible)

The Promise of the Spirit

²⁸“It will come about after this
That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind;
And your sons and daughters will prophesy,
Your old men will dream dreams,
Your young men will see visions.
²⁹“Even on the male and female servants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days.

Yup, it would be repulsive to walk down the street and see some woman breast feeding her teenager. You have to figure that by that age, the kid is ready for a meal.

But, many in today’s church are still attached to the breast, and we are OK with that.

LORD permitting, it is time for us to mature into our identity in Christ and for us to switch from milk to meat. For, the LORD is pouring out His Spirit on all mankind, and soon we will be shepherding a whole bunch of new believers. And, babies who teach babies make more babies. Some of us shall see a quickening into maturity to help lead the charge and grow up generals.

Hebrews 6

¹ Therefore, leaving the discussion of the elementary principles of Christ, let us go on to perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, ² of the doctrine of baptisms, of laying on of hands, of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.
