When JEHOVAH SWIMS …

 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands. And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust. Isaiah 25:11-1

When I awoke, it was 2 a.m. I sat up on my elbows, listening and looking around the room. The dim light from the bathroom cast soft shadows against the stillness of the house.

The LORD’s voice broke the silence.

“ARBA! ARBA!”

I could both see and hear this word. I sat in silence listening intently.

“LORD, what does this mean?”

“You need to find out” was his reply.

I grabbed my laptop typing out in a search the word I had seen and heard.

The word was a Hebrew word. To my amazement, it is only used once in the entire Bible.

The word “arba” in Hebrew means treachery. deceit, spoils, lying in wait, or ambushment.

Seven days before, the LORD had told me to get up one hour earlier each day to pray before heading out to work. The instruction was to pray in tongues and spread my hands like I was swimming. So each morning, rising early for one hour, I would pray, swimming all the while. There was a specific worship song I was to listen to while I prayed. The title of the song was “Do It Again”. The song recounted the great deliverance the LORD wrought for Israel when He caused the walls of Jericho to fall flat.

When I turned to the scripture reference that morning, to my astonishment, the word “arba: was contained in the scripture text about JEHOVAH SWIMMING! I was amazed.

My eyes were tired; I lay back on my pillow to rest them and soon fell into a deep sleep.

During this time I had a dream.

I had a specific parking spot at the office. I parked daily in the U-shaped driveway at the stoop leading to the front door. In the dream, my car was no longer there. Where my car was usually parked there was a pile of dead bodies. These bodies were piled up like a cord of firewood. They were all dressed in black from head to toe. There were both men and women.

I woke up suddenly pondering everything I had heard, seen, and dreamed.

On the way to work that morning, I called my daughter. I began to tell her about all that had transpired. At one point she interrupted me.

“Mom! Mom! I need to tell you something! When I prayed for you all last week, I kept seeing you swimming! I saw you swimming. so much that I told my husband that I thought the LORD wanted us to buy you swimming lessons! “

I stood still in my spirit.

‘I think you saw me in the spirit realm praying and swimming as the LORD instructed.” I replied. “

When I arrived at the office as usual, I parked in front of the stoop leading to the front door. Getting out of my car, I was struck that the driveway was dirt. I remembered the scripture in Isaiah 25:12, where the LORD declares to the walls of the stronghold of the wicked that He would bring them down, lay them low, bring them to the ground, even to the dust.

Shortly after I opened my work computer, my cell phone began to ring. It was my daughter calling.

“Mom! I have something to tell you! Mom, I got a word in my Inbox this morning. It is a vocabulary word of the day. I haven’t signed up to receive any vocabulary words. The word is ‘NATATION“. Do you know what “NATATION” means?”

‘No, what does it mean?” I responded.

“Mom! It means “TO SWIM; SWIMMING”!

For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak. Isaiah 59: 17

THE COMMISSIONING: TO BE A WHISTLEBLOWER: TO BE A SON OF THUNDER

Part 3

Rosh Hashanah began on the eve of September 8, 2010. That Wednesday evening marked the beginning of the 10 Days of Awe. Those days of repentance and reflection would culminate on Saturday, September 18th; Yom Kippur-the Day of Atonement. I had been away from home since February traveling between Raleigh and Charlotte, North Carolina. Due to an allergic reaction to something in my house I had been forced to seek shelter with my children. I felt swept away; displaced-desolate.

During the Days of Awe, I had been invited to attend a conference in Durham, North Carolina at the Worship Center. Danny Steyne was to be the keynote speaker,  The meeting date had been set for Yom Kippur.

I had been sitting in a middle row watching people file into the vast room when a woman appeared asking me to come and sit with her at the front  The last worship song having ended, I looked up  to find that a young woman with tawny golden hair was sitting on the floor beside me where I had been kneeling in prayer. Her face was radiant as was her smile. She had picked up a single sequin from the floor- when I spoke to her she pressed it into the palm of my left hand.

Looking at the tiny shiny in my hand and back into her eyes I said, “Thank you. What is your name?”

“Carolyn,” she smiled widely. There was a golden light all around her.

The preaching having started she rose quickly to her feet disappearing somewhere into the back of the room.

After preaching, the LORD led Danny to give several words of personal prophecy. When he got to me he said,

“You will be a carrier of God’s glory in the end days.”

Danny stopped and leaned his head to one side as if he were trying to hear something clearly.

“This is what the LORD says, You will be carrying His Glory into both legal and illegal places!” He looked at me again and repeated it with intensity, “Lady, did you understand what I just said to you? The LORD will be sending you into legal AND illegal places with His glory!”

I nodded and stepped back to my seat pondering.

The meeting closed I gathered my things in my arms to leave. As I was midway down the long aisle that led to the Exit I heard  a voice calling out to me:

“That was an awesome prophetic word that he gave you!”

When I turned to see where the voice was coming from I saw Carolyn waving to me motioning for me to stop. I stepped past the seats and met her midway in the row.

” Could I ask you something? If you don’t mind, would you pray for me?”

“Certainly,” I replied. ” I would be glad to pray for you.”

I sat the bag and notebook down in a seat. When I looked into her face the LORD said, “You need to lay your hand on her shoulder”.  When the LORD said this I asked Carolyn if it would be okay. She nodded yes. As I began to pray I began to see the missionary Amy Carmichael and all these little children.

“The LORD says that He is calling you to a ministry like Amy Carmichael. He is calling you to help the little children.”

As soon as these words left my mouth Carolyn bent over weeping. The LORD  instructed me to wait. When she was able to compose herself she said,

“I have the autobiography of Amy Carmichael in the back seat of my car! I have prayed and prayed that I would be used by the LORD like Amy Carmichael!’

A burst of fresh tears streaming down her face, she bowed her head again lifting the palms of her hands towards the LORD.

As I began to pray again I had a vision:

In the vision, I saw a great Asian seaport. There were many large cargo ships and many crates and containers. To the right, the face of a man appeared. His eyes were angry fierce; murderous. He was looking towards the West.  Suddenly I saw Carolyn appear. I could both see and understand that she had come to rescue children from sex slave trafficking. The man was about to lift his hand against her when the heavens opened. I heard a ROAR come out of the heavens. When I looked up I saw the  LORD HIMSELF as the LION of the TRIBE OF JUDAH rising up, ROARING over Carolyn; when the LORD ROARED confusion took hold of the evil man; he fled in terror.”

As soon as I began to share the vision with Carolyn there was a loud shout from the far end of the other side of the room; a woman had begun waving, jumping, moving – running towards us.

“I am her mother! I am her mother! I heard what you said! I am the one that needed to hear that! You see she is scheduled to leave tomorrow to train to rescue children out of sex slave trafficking. I have had so much fear. I didn’t want to let her go. But she says the LORD has called her.”

The woman paused and bowed her head weeping.

“What you said is the same prophecy that our pastor gave to her. It is the same word. It is the same word. Now I know she will be okay.”

The ACME Thunderer was housed within the zipper pocket of my purse. The LORD said,

“I want you to give it to Carolyn. I want you to give it to her-NOW.”

I retrieved the Thunderer and pressed it into Carolyn’s open hands.

“What is this?” she inquired. I recounted to her the testimony of the call to be a Whistleblower-the call to be a Son of Thunder.

“I can’t take this from you,” her eyes moved from the whistle back to my face.

“Yes you can, ” I said. “JESUS says it’s your turn now. He will go before you. He will always be with you. Yes, you can.”

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. Psalm 2:4-5

A king that sitteth in the throne of judgment scattereth away all evil with his eyes. Proverbs 20:8

The LORD thundered from heaven, and the  most High uttered his voice. And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them. 2 Samuel 22:14-15

 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world. James 1:27

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: John 1:12

Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.  Luke 10:19

Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place. Job 27:23

When I went out to the city gate and took my seat in the public square, the young men saw me and withdrew, and the old men rose to their feet. Job 29:8

THE CALL: TO BE A WHISTLEBLOWER: TO BE A SON OF THUNDER:

WILL YOU TAKE YOUR SEAT AT THE GATE?

PART TWO

It was 2005; the LORD sent me to Charleston, South Carolina. A local assembly was hosting a conference.  I packed my bags and began the journey south. The ACME Thunderer whistle housed within a zipper pocket deep inside my purse.

On the last day of the three-day conference, I was invited to join the intercessors who prayed each day before the services began.

A  hazy yellow light enveloped a circle of empty chairs which had been placed in the middle of a small square room. One by one the empty seats were finally filled with- a company of women. Two women came in just as the door was being closed for prayer; they sat down facing me in the circle.  One of the women was slight of build with bright eyes that brimmed with fire -combustible.

Towards the end of the prayer time, this same woman was asked to share about her recent trip. She told us that she had just returned from Ireland. She began to share a scripture from the book of Job about clapping and whistling the wicked out of their places.

“Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss (whistle) him out of his place.” Job 27:23

“I think we ought to just do it!” someone shouted.

The scripture was read- then prayed. Suddenly all of the intercessors began to clap their hands and whistle. The clapping was loud and strong, but the whistling was not. As I was taking it all in the LORD reminded me of the ACME Thunderer hidden deep within my purse.

“Take it out now!” the LORD said. “Take it out NOW!”

I reached down for my purse, unzipped the pocket and took the whistle out. The silver glistened in the hazy light. It was swinging on the end of a long black lanyard.

“I have a whistle; I have a whistle?” I lifted the whistle up above my head.

The lady from Ireland put both hands on her knees leaned forward with a huge grin and proclaimed,

“Well get up, girl! Get up! Blow it, girl! Blow it, girl! Blow it!”

With that exclamation, she jumped up out of her chair; she began to clap her hands violently with joy.

At the sound of the whistle, the entire room exploded in prayer and praise.

The tears streamed down my face once again as I blew the Thunderer as a prayer for all who needed deliverance out of the hands of the wicked. I remembered the crossroads; the hard red bricks; the woman’s eyes of desolation.

I also remembered the unexpected call about the wicked being exposed and apprehended.

The Bible tells us that there is a  SOUND OF DELIVERANCE. In Psalm 89:15 it is written: “Blessed is the people that know the JOYFUL SOUND: they shall walk, O LORD, in the LIGHT of THY COUNTENANCE.”

The word “joyful” means literally “blowing, loud noise, a blast, a war cry, a cry with applause- a signal for war“. The “joyful sound” is the SOUND of the LORD’s DELIVERANCE.

The word “hiss” in Job 29:23  means literally, “to hiss, whistle, pipe- as a signal”.

In Job 29, Job recounts the days when he “took his seat in the Gate”.  

“The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me: 

Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him. The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow’s heart to sing for joy.

 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.

 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame. I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out. 

And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.”

If silence is complicity, can we be silent anymore?

In Tuam, Ireland 800 mass graves of babies and young children were uncovered. These children died at the hands of those who said they were of GOD.

“More than five decades after the Home was closed and destroyed — where a housing development and children’s playground now stands — what happened to nearly 800 of those abandoned children has perhaps now emerged: …forgotten, with neither gravestones nor coffins. ” (June 3, 2014: Terrance McCoy)

The abuse and trafficking of children is a devastating reality in our times. It is not just the outlying unbelievers and pagans, but just as in Josiah’s time this sin is rampant in God’s House among many who call themselves His ordained leadership.

If silence is complicity, how can we continue to name the Name of JESUS and keep silent anymore?

Will you take your seat at the Gate? Will you be a Whistleblower? Will you be a Son of Thunder?

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil”- “God will not hold us guiltless”.-
“Not to speak is to speak”.-
“Not to act is to act”.
Attributed to Dietrich Bonhoeffer.

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 
 This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 

On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. 

Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come: but woe unto him, through whom they come! It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones

The Lord thundered from heaven. The Most High made his voice heard 2 Samuel 22:14

Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins. Isaiah 58:1

WILL YOU BE A WHISTLEBLOWER?  WILL YOU BE A SON OF THUNDER?

Part One

The morning of Memorial Day, Monday, May 31, 2004, I sat on the side of my bed. The entire night had been fitful.  I was exhausted.  A magazine cover caught my eye.  I picked it up. It opened to a page with a photo of a young woman standing in front of an institutional type red brick building; her profile was stark, disturbed and forlorn. To my horror, the article was about 76 children that had been abused by priests over four decades. I sat in sickened silence. staring at the bleak figure framed by the hard red bricks.

The LORD spoke to me and said, “I need you to get a whistle”.

“But I don’t have a whistle, LORD. Where will I get one?”

“Ask your husband.” the LORD replied.

I heard my husband heading out the door for work and shouted at him, “Hey, I need a whistle! Do you have one? ”

“Yes, I do. I will leave it on the kitchen counter for you,” his voice echoed back down the hall.

The whistle lying on the counter was silver. When I picked it up the florescent kitchen light flashed against the metal. It read: The ACME Thunderer MADE IN ENGLAND. Then the LORD said,

“I want you to blow the whistle on all the child molesters and pedophiles. I want you to do it today.” I picked up the whistle and headed out the door.

The LORD directed me to a particular crossroads. I did not know it at that time but later learned that it is the logistic center of the county. A dilapidated cinder block building stood where a once thriving filling station had been.  After parking the car I had to wait for the traffic to clear.  Other than the old station, the crossroads bordered woods and open fields. There was a man across from the old station out in a field feeding his goats.  He looked up once or twice when traffic passed.

The LORD had instructed me to stand in the center of the crossroads to blow the whistle.

I prayed,  “LORD, please clear the way for me to do this.”  As soon as the traffic cleared I walked to the center of the crossroads.

For some reason, my gaze was southward and then upward toward the heavens.  I remember looking down at the ground. I remembered the red brick building. I remembered the stark young woman. I gripped the whistle in my right hand.

As I stood there praying a deep unspeakable anguish overtook my heart. I could hear the cries of innocents; the muffled screams of little children.

“Save the children, Father God. Save the children! Save them out of the hands of the wicked wherever they are LORD! Only YOU can do it! Let this whistle be heard in heaven and in the earth in JESUS NAME. Breakthrough for the children, LORD! Breakthrough!” I could not stop blowing the whistle. I could not stop the river of tears streaming down my face.

Miraculously no traffic interrupted that time of prayer.

About thirty days later I received an unexpected call from a close friend.

“You won’t believe what happened!” she said.  “You know that crossroads where the LORD told you to blow that whistle? Well! What you don’t know is this!  Listen, within walking distance of that crossroads where you were the SBI and the local authorities busted a child pornography ring. The man was sentenced to prison!”

His last name was the name of the crossroads and the old store where I had parked.

October 5, 2016; I was walking one morning when the LORD spoke to me suddenly again.

“I hate Chemosh! I hate Chemosh!” At the moment that the LORD spoke this to me I saw a chariot of fire in the heavens and I felt the fury of the LORD. I hurried home to search out who this was.

Chemosh was the pagan god of child molesting worshiped alongside Molech the god of child sacrifice. When Solomon was King because his heart was turned away from the LORD by pagan wives (unholy alliances), he began to build pagan temples. He built temples to both Chemosh and to Molech. The mountain where the Israelites sacrificed their children was named The Mount of Corruption or literally, The Mount of Offense or Desecration. These sins were not just being committed by the outlying pagans. These sins against children were being committed by God’s own people.

The scripture says that when King Josiah cleansed the Temple he also destroyed these pagan idolatrous sites. Josiah had to start in GOD’s House FIRST.

And he brought out the grove from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the children of the people.  2 Kings 23:6

Please note: Josiah cast the powder upon the graves of the “children” of the people.

And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the abomination of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the abomination of the Moabites, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.  2 Kings 23:13

JESUS said:

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 18:10

‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.’ Acts 13:22

It is 4:33 a.m. It is July 17th. Seventeen is the Hebraic number of Victory.

This journeying to  Zion has been stretching long; foamy fraught with emotional violence and spiritual perils. This world’s waves have pushed crashed shattered everything except our ROCK and HIS eternal everlasting Word that HIS LOVE NEVER FAILS.

This morning, also the last few days, when I look up I see a boat in the night surrounded by blowing mists against a starless sky; waves splashing beating creating echoes; rhythms; the soundings of destinies. Just when we thought everything was winding DOWN instead, everything is winding UP. HIS HOLY winds are being sent to carry us into GOD’s DEEP. In our weakness, HIS STRENGTH is made perfect. It was so much more comfortable when I was young and strong. This crushed broken place seems so scary hard.

This morning I hear the word “culmination” remembering the headlights shining against the highway to the hospital the day my son was born. It was a sudden night. For days I had moaned “I am so ready for this baby to be born! I am so ready!” In the backseat of the car that night my tune changed; I cried, “I am not ready for this! I am not ready!” It feels like that again.
My doctor told me when my daughter was born, ” There comes a time in the delivery of a baby that a woman’s body takes over. The more you fight and resist it the longer it will take and the more pain it will create. You have to flow with it; work with it.”  It feels like that now.
The other phrase I hear is “locked and loaded” a strange turn of phrase remembering a birthing. However, upon reflection, a full term woman in labor is both-locked and loaded For some reason, it feels like that too.
Since the day I cried out, “LORD I want YOU to love me the way YOU loved David“; ever since that day each time the LORD gives me a page number to search out in my Bible it is always something about David. Yesterday it was about King Josiah, the one prophesied and called by GOD to cleanse the LORD’s House and His people from idolatry.
And he did that which was right in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and declined neither to the right hand nor to the left.  2 Chronicles 34:2
How David must have loved the LORD. David loved GOD’s HEART.
God testified concerning him: ‘I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do.  Acts 13:22
THIS MORNING when I looked up I heard the LORD say, ” I want you to love ME  the way David did “. HIS WORDS  pierced my heart.  Obedience is the highest form of worship.
This morning my prayer/tune has changed.  I am asking the LORD to help me love HIM the way David did; to help me be a woman after GOD’s own heart; to do whatever HE wants me to do.
Heaven’s headlights are shining out against the weary winding tracks of Time; GOD’s HOLY WINDS of destiny are blowing strong. Can we know when we are ready?  Are we?
There is a PLUMBLINE descending from heaven upon the hearts of HIS chosen at this time. HIS PLUMBLINE weighs the motive of our hearts; it weighs the way we love.
Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.  Matthew 22:35-37
This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.  Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are My friends if you do what I command you.  John 15:13-14

… and terror and dread will fall on them. By the power of Your arm they will be as still as a stone until Your people pass by, O LORD, until the people You bought pass by. Exodus 15:16

And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.

 For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak.

 According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompence to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompence. Isaiah 59:16-18

Recompense for the LORD’S people will fall like rain on parched ground. For the LORD’s people, they will receive a double portion of healing and restoration for all that they have suffered, lost and endured.

 For your shame ye shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be unto them.

 For I the Lord love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them. Isaiah 61:7-8

Song of Deliverances 

Crossing Time is here

The Voice of Heaven clear

The enemy is sinking

Like a stone

Now he’s gone

We’ll  never have to see him again
