THE GRAPES 

First, I saw the Lord on a road in a little village.  The homes and the road were all made with beautiful cobblestone. It reminded me of something French even though I've never been to France this is the feeling that came with it.  As the Lord was standing on the winding road that sloped down between the cobblestone buildings; I noticed The Lord; his eyes were fixed as in a gaze of longing. What was he staring so intently at?  It was a beautiful vine of grapes they were so plump and full. They looked like they would burst and explode with flavor at the first bite.  As I was looking in on this scene, this is what came to me in the spirit, the understanding was, he looked at these grapes longing to taste them but he would not until he could share them with his Bride his true believers.

THE LION

The next vision I saw was a large male lion big, strong and beautiful. This Lion looked like he was ready to seek out his reason for being. He was in state of alertness.  He would not be stopped once he started his mission. The understanding came and it was simple, this represented the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.

THE GRAND STAGE

Next I saw the Lord walking, actually slowly pacing back and forth looking out from this grand stage that he was on. The understanding came he was looking intently for those that desired him, those who had their gaze on him. These are they who would give it all up, who would die to themselves and let him live through them conforming to his image.  Then I looked into his eyes they were flames and as I looked deeper into them it brought me to the next vision.

EYES OF FLAMES

The next vision came as I stared deep into the Lord's eye's they were flames of fire. I was taken into a room it looked as if the Lord was sitting on a stool or chair, leaning over a table of some kind. I noticed his face had a reddish orange glow to it. Then I looked to see what he was doing he was looking down at this sheet of pure fire it was like liquid molten lava, no flames only a pure sheet of fire. Then the understanding came, this is the refiners fire.  He desires to take all true believers through to remove the dross to purify us until we reflect his image. So he see's himself when he looks at us.

THE ARMOR

The next thing that happened was not a vision but a feeling on my physical body. As I stood there I felt physical weight and tingling on my head and then I realized it was all over my body.  I had my hands outstretched as to receive something, and then I felt it, something was placed in each one of my hands. After a few moments the understanding came of what I was feeling and what had happened I was physically feeling the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth and my feet were shod in gospel. In my left hand was the shield of faith and in my right hand the sword of the Spirit. I had for some reason just felt the whole armor of God placed upon me.

THE SHEPHERD

Then I had another vision it was of the Lord he was in a white hooded robe he was a Shepherd his face looked pale he looked very tired and worn with dark circles under his eyes. He was very sad with tears; he looked like someone who had lost something of great importance to them.  His concern was so much that he hadn't been eating or sleeping; this is the feeling and understanding that came with the picture. Then more understanding came to me he was the Shepherd who was watching his flock, many had strayed away.  He was searching and calling knowing that his sheep hear his voice, but after calling so long they would not come to him. They would listen to other voices meaning the enemy, but to his voice they were dull of hearing, this made him very sad.  They need a healing in their spiritual ears and I send the ones that will crack their hardened hearts, then they will hear me clearly says the Lord.

THE KINGDOM

Then again a vision came it was of a globe. The globe was a good looking light brown color the thing that stood out about this globe was the face of Jesus was on it covering the side that was facing me. And then the understanding came that the knowledge of Jesus would cover the earth and his Kingdom would be set on the earth. What a glorious day that will be, his kingdom come, first in the hearts of his true believers then manifested in the physical on earth. Amen!!!
