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!

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.”

Unique. Unique. Unique. Unique.



How is it that in this world sin is exalted and holiness is looked down upon? How blinded we have become! Inward beauty is of little worth and outward beauty (which is hardly achievable by the standards set before us) is what we seek after to attain. If only the world knew that the most-high God sees you as His masterpiece, something that cannot be replicated. You are the one and only, the most beautiful of its kind. You are a reflection of God’s heart and creativity; something beyond wonderful. But “they” say we must conform to look like “that”.. We must look the same. It ROBS and STEALS so many of knowing their true value, brainwashing us to believe we are worthless and less than pleasing. Woe to the ones who lead his little ones astray; who guide them into the lies of the evil one.

This was stirred by a dream I had. I walked into this makeup store and there were different things being offered. Lady GaGa was there and she was promoting a lipstick/ nail polish product. It was gaudy and glamorous and took over the entire room. I remember her influence and pride, knowing she had the power to turn others to her product. My friend was also in the store selling clensing face wash and makeup remover. No one noticed her, nor did they was her product because it was less appealing. It reminded me how people would rather put makeup on than take it off. Outward appearance is greater than inward holiness.
