Enslaved to Law of Reason

Back in October I wrote a post about lawyers, well God has continued that pattern in my life. Today I dropped my friend off at church and I headed to the park to spend time with God. However, I was either making wrong turns or the way I wanted to go was blocked off. I became really frustrated and settled with  taking the extra long way to get there. So I end up driving on University and a thought popped into my mind, "I can either see this as a coincidence, or I can believe God is doing something." I then remembered how I have always wanted to go sit by the Brazos behind the Law School Building. So I did. When I got there I was moved to go inside and for an hour God led me to pray for this building and for the law students. (It was pretty neat). I finally go and sit down to spend time with God. And when I did, this is what He showed me:

Law of Reason

There was a scroll unfolding before me and it created a path for me to walk on. I soon realized what this scroll represented: it was the laws that have been set before us, it was the laws that we lived under. When I started walking, it was like walking through a park with green grass and oak trees, but that quickly changed as I continued.  As it rolled, it led me into all types of evil and corruption. I knew that this path even led to hell. These are the things that I saw to my right and left:  women were being raped and abused, sexual perversion leading to death, I saw hunger and starvation, and babies being murdered. I saw chains being attached to people and then being chained to the ground. I saw huge cement blocks titled "labor,"  being forced onto the backs of men, there was incredible disease, and I saw the innocent being robbed and executed. 

What once was a nice delightful path with grass, trees, and life, is now hell on earth leading to eternity in hell. As I kept walking, I saw more and more demons chaining everyone to the ground. No one was free. When I came to the end of the path, I saw Reason- an idol, a goddess- that so many serve. She had the balance scales in her hand. She (Reason) laughed at all of the destruction that she had created. I saw the Overseers of the law, the people who had power and authority over it (lawyers, politicians, people of influence etc.). The overseers once thought Reason was serving them, but now they are chained to her. I saw her fall into hell, bringing all who were enslaved to her. 

Law by Faith

I was walking on a path of law again. It was not like a scroll unraveling, but it was a golden street. I saw these words on giant blacks suspended in the sky: JUSTICE, HOLINESS, RIGHTEOUSNESS, and PURITY. This was the covering of the law. All that did not obey the law could not survive under it.  like Everything that was evil that tried to walk on this path was weakened and died. Even the sin and evil that covered people broke off under this power and they became the way God intended for them to be. Their original design. The ground was stable and unmoved. It was unshakable. All who walked here were healed, restored and free. 

--

I came home thinking about all that God had shown to me. I decided to look up the word reason thinking I would find a picture of the balance or something. As I was searching through images, I found an icon called "Reason Rally." I discovered this event taking place March 24, 2012 in Washington D.C.. The fear of the Lord came upon me. Reason Rally is a gathering of "secular leaders" (atheists) empowering and encouraging for a secular movement. Their "intent is to unify, energize, and embolden secular people nationwide. Whether people call themselves atheists, agnostics, secular Humanists, or any of the other terms used to describe their god-free lifestyle, secularism is coming out of the closet." Supporters of this rally leaders are strongly against Freedom of Religion. They are radical people who have a loud voice. This is not okay.If you read this please please please start praying for God to Radically move among these people. That the Church would be awakened and stand up for our rights. Pray that God's love would fall among every person involved in this. Please don't become angry at these people. My heart breaks for them because they do not know God. We do not hate the sinner but hate the sin. God is inviting us into something great that He wants to do in our country. Let us not just sit back and hope for the best. We have a direct access to the living God, so lets pray!
Here are some prayer points:
That God's presence would fill up National Mall.
That every leader and person there would encounter the living God. That they would not be satisfied with the message being proclaimed, but they would be left asking more questions about Jesus than they ever have before.
 I would even challenge you to fast on March 24th. Yes.. Fast!

Below is a testimony I watched this morning that really speaks on the power of prayer and how powerful God is in situations like this... Go watch now!

America...

So this post may be more confusing and less organized than others so here is the layout... At the top are the scriptures that God had spoken, next are God's words that he spoke to me about the scriptures and then at the end are just some of my observations and side notes. Also, if you read this, I suggest that you pray about the words God has spoken, because I am only an imperfect person. God does speak through people, but it should all be tested and discerned. I pray that God would only highlight to you everything that is of Him and not of me.... So I was praying one evening and felt like God wanted to speak to me about America. He took me to 4 books and they all started at the same chapter and same verse. He wove them together to create an overall message. Once again, God is not distant from our country, in fact he is doing a mighty work. I pray that God would speak to you through this post in whatever way He needs to. Let it be a deeper revelation of his character, increase of the fear of the Lord, conviction, may it stir you to move and rise up etc etc... 

ISAIAH 2:10-21

Go into the rocks, hide in the ground  from the fearful presence of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty!¹¹ The eyes of the arrogant will be humbled and human pride brought low; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.¹² The LORD Almighty has a day in store for all the proud and lofty,
for all that is exalted  (and they will be humbled),¹³ for all the cedars of Lebanon, tall and lofty, and all the oaks of Bashan,¹⁴ for all the towering mountains and all the high hills,¹⁵ for every lofty tower and every fortified wall,¹⁶ for every trading ship^[b]  and every stately vessel. ¹⁷ The arrogance of man will be brought low  and human pride humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day, ¹⁸ and the idols will totally disappear.¹⁹ People will flee to caves in the rocks  and to holes in the ground from the fearful presence of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty,when he rises to shake the earth. ²⁰ In that day people will throw away  to the moles and bats their idols of silver and idols of gold, which they made to worship.²¹ They will flee to caverns in the rocks  and to the overhanging crags from the fearful presence of the LORD and the splendor of his majesty,  when he rises to shake the earth.

 HOSEA 2:10-15

¹⁰ So now I will expose her lewdness before the eyes of her lovers; no one will take her out of my hands. ¹¹ I will stop all her celebrations: her yearly festivals, her New Moons, her Sabbath days—all her appointed festivals. ¹² I will ruin her vines and her fig trees, which she said were her pay from her lovers; I will make them a thicket, and wild animals will devour them. ¹³ I will punish her for the days she burned incense to the Baals; she decked herself with rings and jewelry, and went after her lovers, but me she forgot,s” declares the LORD.¹⁴ “Therefore I am now going to allure her;  I will lead her into the wilderness and speak tenderly to her. ¹⁵ There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of Achor^[a] a door of hope. There she will respond^[b] as in the days of her youth,  as in the day she came up out of Egypt.

SONG OF SOLOMON 2:10-15

¹⁰ My beloved spoke and said to me, “Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, come with me. ¹¹ See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone.¹² Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves  is heard in our land. ¹³ The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me.”

   He

 ¹⁴ My dove in the clefts of the rock,  in the hiding places on the mountainside, show me your face,  let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet,  and your face is lovely. ¹⁵ Catch for us the foxes,  the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom.

PSALM 2:10-12

Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
    be warned, O rulers of the earth.
¹¹  Serve the Lord with fear,
    and rejoice with trembling.
¹²  Kiss the Son,
    lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
    for his wrath is quickly kindled.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

What I felt like God spoke concerning the passage of Hosea 2:10-15: 

No one will rescue her and the other lovers that were once her savior will abandon her. No longer will they cover her and all the things that once brought her joy from this world, I will take them away. This is my love. This is my jealousy. Reality and truth shall arise and deception will flee. As these things fade away, she will begin to see more clearly. She will mourn and weep because she doesn’t understand, but there is hope. I will expose her for all she had done. But I will restore her. I will rip things away from them furiously and my judgment will fall on them, but my mercy will quickly fallow and I will give back the things that were once lost overflowing from my love.

What I felt like God spoke concerning the passage of Isaiah 2:10-21 

The hand of the Lord will fall on the people. They will be brought down but not destroyed. For I am making a way for my glory to pass by. Because they have forgotten me, I will make myself known. The people who thought they could stand on their own will be tossed and brought low, for I will send my mighty wind. But I will not leave them or forsake them for I will be their healer and I will be their husband. 

Other notes from the passages: 

Song of Solomon is a scripture that describes His love and mercy. I think it is interesting (and not a coincidence that in Isaiah, he says to "go into the rocks" and "hide in the ground from the fearful presence of the Lord" and Song of Solomon calls us his dove hiding in the rocks and calls her to come out. This reminds me that his anger is only a moment but he is the father of everlasting kindness. Even though we will see his anger and fury, we will not be abandoned but restored to something even more beautiful. The passage on Hosea describes both his wrath and his mercy. The passage in Psalms is a warning and some advice! 

Rainbows of Living Color

When I was praying yesterday, I saw a picture of Jesus. He was clothed in a robe of rainbow and it was alive? (Yes, I just realized that this is in Revelation Song, “Clothed in rainbows of living colors” which is also in the book of Revelations) As he walked grass and purple flowers grew on his right and left. They became huge fields of tall grass. There remained a dirt path where he walked and wherever his footsteps were, fire was left behind. He stopped and held out his hands in front of him and rivers and oceans came forth from his palms. When he looked to the sky, light was formed. Then heavenly songs started falling from the sky like rain. Angels came down and landed in the fields then a mighty wind came. The angels started to raise/ lift people up from the ground. They started to have life. Once they were awake, they ran and grabbed the soil from the path and washed it over other people who were not yet fully alive. It was like once the soil was on them; they could fully see the majesty and awe of the King. Jesus had a lightning bolt in his hand and he struck it into the ground. It sent power through all of the land. I knew that this meant that wherever we went, the power of God was given to us.

God didn't really explain any in depth the meaning behind this vision, I think for now it is something to just marvel at and enjoy. He is Awesome.

Messengers, Warriors and the Battle for our Nation

Ephesians 6:12- For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

I was taken in a vision to heaven where armies of angels were preparing. They seemed really busy so I asked God what they were doing. They are preparing for battle against the forces of darkness. I saw swords, bows and other weapons being made. The strongest weapon was the sword. It was also the most powerful. He said that they were going to fight for America, against the dark rulers and against Sin. I saw that the sword could destroy the schemes of the enemy. He said that they were not fighting against small demons, but the strongest rulers and kings. When you fight against the weaker ones, even just the presence of God on the angels will make them powerless and flee. But the rulers you must fight. He said some of these will even be in human form (people who are being used by darkness). ((This reminds me of Daniel 10: Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them. ¹³ But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia. ¹⁴ Now I have come to explain to you what will happen to your people in the future, for the vision concerns a time yet to come.” The angel speaking is Gabriel, the angel fighting is Michael and the Prince of Persia is a demon. It took him 21 days to fight!)) ((and literally right now as I am reading this scripture, there is confirmation about the vision God had given me and how it is a reality.)) (((This is crazy))).

                Next I saw a room filled with even more angels than the one with warriors. And I saw God releasing a message to each one. These are messenger angels. They deliver them to the prophets. I asked why there were more messengers. He said because revelation breaks the power of the enemy and even allows a quicker connection to me. I am going to release prophecy over this nation. It is better for prophecy because it opens the eyes of my children. If it is just the warriors fighting and darkness is overcome, their eyes are still shut.
            Next I was in a court room and our American forefathers were on the floor appealing to the heavenly council. People that I saw were Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, and George Washington. There were also soldiers from many different wars present. And many that were there were people from our nation’s history that were never recognized on this earth. Behind them was a crowd that was interceding for America. Here are some of the people I recognized on the heavenly council: Moses, Abraham and Israel (Jacob). There were also heavenly beings. The room was anciently beautiful and Jesus was the Judge. I thought I would feel him opposing the pleaders (because that is what we experience on earth in the courts) but I felt that Jesus was for their case. There was so much love coming from Him for our nation, but I also felt a holy anger (but at the same time there was love in that anger. Hard to describe) Then everyone became silent. And Jesus spoke, “It must get worse before it will get better. I have handed them to Satan so they will return to me. My glory will be revealed.” Unexpectedly, I felt FAITH, HOPE and even CELEBRATION rise in the room. And they all started worshiping Jesus. 

Here is some of my commentary:

It was interesting to feel my worldly perspective collide with the heavenly reality, especially in the courtroom. When I expect our forefathers to be begging and pleading with Jesus, really Jesus wanted everything that they were asking for. He answers their prayers, but he ultimately decides HOW they will be answered. A second time was when Jesus delivered “the plan” faith and hope was everyone’s response. If I had a say I would have probably become sad and defeated. But thank goodness that “his ways are higher than our ways and his thoughts are higher than our thoughts.”

So if you read this and become frightened because of the statement “I have handed them to Satan,” I would say do not be afraid! The powers of darkness are literally like a speck of dirt on the ground compared to the universe of God’s kingdom. That is not an exageration Often times we see battles of good vs. evil as equal, but reality is the victory of God tremendous! He will never be defeated. So there is no need to be scared, but what you could do is start praying for our nation! Our prayers are more powerful than we even know! God has spoken to me a few weeks ago about America and I have debated on if I should post it or not, but I most likely will eventually. Also, you might be wondering, is handing a nation over to Satan even Biblical, and the answer is yes. 1 Corinthians 5:4-5 says, “When you are assembled in the name of our Lord Jesus and I am with you in spirit, and the power of our Lord Jesus is present, hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature may be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord.”

Thirdly, how cool is it that even Daniel experienced the power of revelation from a messenger angel while there was a warrior angel fighting the rulers of darkness. They have been doing this forever! Cool. That was just confirmation for my heart as well as scriptural evidence for you!

Angel and the Sword

I had this vision (more clear than ever before) of this angel. I first thought it was Jesus and wanted to worship him right then, but then I noticed his wings. (Now I understand how many people in the Bible have a tendency to want to worship angels.) But I knew he was an angel commissioned by God to encounter me. He was golden color and absolutely glorious by nature. He was dressed for war with Giant wings. And for some reason I remember his sandals clearly. He came to me and was carrying a sword. He took his sword and struck it through my heart. This was not to harm me, but to empower me. The moment he did that in the natural I literal began to shake and tremble by the power of God. It kind of felt like I was going to die haha but at the same time I felt very much alive. God then brought Revelation 12:11 to my mind. We will overcome him (Satan) by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. He highlighted the second part. He also reminded me of Ephesians 6:17 (Declares that the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God). I can’t really explain what happened spiritually, but something great took place. I felt like God spoke that the Word of the Lord (which is life) has pierced me and there it will remain. Something has to died. For I have died and the Spirit has brought me back to life as a new creation. We must die to our flesh in order to become alive in the Spirit.

Faith

Matthew 14: 28-33 (you can read it at the bottom of this post if you would like!)

"I am the Lord your God and I go before you." He is calling me saying "Come." And with no hesitation or resistance in my spirit, I go with delight. Where exactly am I going? Does it really matter? My husband calls and I must go! All I know is that I am leaving the familiar places and stepping into the unknown. I know that this is the safest place I can be because his eyes are upon me and mine on Him. Oh his eyes- the most beautiful eyes. When you gaze into the eyes of our savior you are overwhelmed with the depths of his love it would be almost impossible for me to look away, but somehow I do. I look to my right and to my left and discourage and doubt hit me like a rock tied to my ankle. I start to sink. But even before I begin to cry out for my savior, he yells, “Grace! Grace! Grace to you my dear!” And everything that was bringing me down disappears and loses its grip on me. Somehow I am even stronger than I was before. With each step closer I am strengthened. I started running and what once was water is now a concrete path set before me. This must be what faith is.





Matthew 14: 28-33
²⁸ “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
 ²⁹ “Come,” he said.
   Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. ³⁰ But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
 ³¹ Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
 ³² And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. ³³ Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”

The Glorious Robe

Jesus gave me a beautiful vision , so I thought I would share it with others…

This took place this morning during worship in Elevate class. I was in the throne room of God and I noticed the train of Jesus’ robe. It reminded me of what Isaiah saw in Isaiah 6:1- In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. The robe in my vision was composed of many flags- all the nations that are, were and are to come and it was so beautiful. Jesus took it off and put it on me. It was too big, but I wore it anyway. I could feel the presence of these nations and God’s Glory that filled this robe. I could feel every people group even though very different, reflected God’s heart fully and equally. It was powerful, overwhelming, and brilliant and I knew this was real. Then I saw a picture of me taking a pure white sheet and running around the world. This sheet clothed the earth and wrapped around the whole globe, covering it completely. Then it started soaking up colors and mountains and trees started to tear through it. And Jesus gathered this sheet and dressed himself in it. It was dirty and torn apart. Then I realized what just happened. The white sheet represented his love and he soaked up the sins of the world. He took away all of my sins and wore them on himself. Not only that, but when I deserved to wear that filthy sheet, he gave me his glorious robe to wear. And all I heard him say after is, “Alyssa, you are worthy of this love.”
