A Brother of India
Over the last many months many of you are aware that my night visions have been increasing in frequency and intensity and it is continuing as such. Last night again was an entire night of intense vision and again being engulfed in that compassion of Christ that is all Him and none of me. It is Compassion far beyond the natural and without words to come close to expressing or explaining. Much of my words in this may be directed to Priscilla because again this vision took me to India. Visions I use to get only a few times a year are coming to me almost nightly. What use to be a portion of the night spent in the vision is becoming an entire night without let up - even if I have to get up, the vision just takes up where it left off.
What I am writing I am aware is disjointed and without any real aim or goal of subject. I merely have a need to write and share these things. Maybe just for prayer as last night for the first time I was given some words by the Spirit in regards to these visions. Before I did not have any direct information or words or direction from the Spirit regarding these visions or prophecy with them. They were simply visions of the repeated Love of God and the Compassion of Christ with the same characters and same themes though in different places or settings. I was up at 2:30 AM and still "in the vision" while sitting on the couch with my eyes closed and the Spirit simply said - "These visions ARE leading you into something". For the first time the Spirit confirmed there was purpose, real purpose for me going through this series of visions that has a purpose beyond just the experience and the images and portrayals I am getting from them. The Spirit seemed to be implying they were preparing me for a particular place or position that is yet ahead. I know I write articles and sometimes visions that are edifying to the Body and of late much of that has to do with growing up and maturing and trying to ready the Bride, but this is about something yet ahead that I do not believe in any way, at least as I feel God saying this, - that it is in any way a SMALL thing. My aspirations is to have this Compassion of Christ in me around the clock in a wakened state. When I am covered in that I have NO thought what so ever about what I will eat, what I will wear, what I have to plan for tomorrow. It is ALL irrelevant and I want nothing more than to remain in that state of Compassion. It is what reaches out and heals anything and everything. It is what the real Power, resurrection power, flows through. And I am finding that it does not and will not flow through a "conduit" that is not a vessel of this magnitude of Compassion. Scripture nor the knowledge of scripture has any power in itself, but it is the compassion of Christ present which makes the difference whether in or through a vessel or direct from the Holy Spirit and Christ's presence. I wish with all my heart I could convey adequately this compassion, but unless you have encountered it there is no way, and if you have NOT yet encountered it I suggest that be your prayer that you might, because it changes your reality on everything. It opens your eyes to the inadequacies of "self" and the very need for Christ and nothing less. "Your old men shall dream dreams" is certainly becoming a tangible reality in my life. It is no longer a prophecy about the end times. It has become a reality in my life. These things are all building up more and more. I have had several letters from others who have been in ministry for many many years who have written me and said also they have only in the past few weeks had this encounter as well. And most say the same thing - "I HAD NO IDEA!". As I said, this is not an article with any goal in mind, but a letter to my friends. Last night the vision had to do with India again and is why I somewhat direct more towards Priscilla as she goes there. But I was taken there again and I saw that God was truly focused on doing powerful things there. In the vision I had met and had become close friends with all the top government officials, but it was accomplished in a way that was extremely important. I was directed by the Spirit in the ways I needed to respect them and not disrespect them as humans or even many of their particular beliefs whatever they might be. I was included after a short time as not just an associate or friend, but as a family member and toward the end of the vision was given a title that seemed official in some way and the title was "Brother of India". They came to trust me because I respected them and I respected them because I had that extreme compassion of Christ in me that did not and would not abuse the relationship. Because I gave them this respect I was in a position of trust so they would listen to me tell them of Christ and the Gospel. I will say here that my respect for them did not have anything to do with compromising the Gospel or the truth of it. I did not water it down. I was in a position of trust that few had or would gain. They came to trust me with their children which seemed to me, in the culture to be a high honor in itself. I have never been to India so I cannot state that as a fact I know. God is up to something and wants to bring His Gospel to the nations in it's pure form and that being that it might come through that Compassion that is Christ and that it should not come through what is only our weak and fleshly attempts. In the vision I watched other come into India supposing to be missionaries, but who really were not working in this compassion and were bringing the Gospel in very manipulative ways and in ways that did not gain the respect of the people or the Government. And to try refute potential responses to this comment it was not about "Pleasing Men Above Pleasing God". They were not perceived as friends let alone like a family member. I was given respect, freedom and authority to do many things they were not given to do. One particular scene sort of revealed the images that told the story. I saw a group come over on the pretense of setting up business and helping the economy if you will by making a "Jordache jean factory", but in reality it was a manipulation attempt at preaching the Gospel as they would sew on each pair of jeans a cross to force upon the people the emblem of Christ hoping to gain advantage to then preach the Gospel. The "Jordache" thing simply implied the "Merchandising" of the Gospel and sewing on the cross to the jeans was all about covert manipulation and "trickery" upon the people to get them to hear the Gospel. And I thought - of all the places in the world to bring Jordache jeans how rude and out of place that attempt was. These really were people NOT called of God to be missionaries, but who were indulging in the idea implementing their own schemes and they were viewed by the people as simply being scheming people up to no good and also - the Gospel was not effective, but was damaging because it was controlling. There was so much more details to the vision than I will attempt to write or convey. It is the second powerful vision I have had of India in the last couple of months and I am being persuaded there is something very potent and powerful planned for those people. Whether I will ever get to go there will be a miracle.
In the vision I also had a weapon. It was a large knife. It reminded me of the very intimidating Bowie Knives, but in India I could see obstacles or shadows like spiritual enemy forces desiring to come in and do damage to what I was doing, but I could see these entities and I could wield this knife with unfaltering accuracy and with precise and instant effect in destroying any enemy attempts and attack. It was absolutely a faultless weapon in my hands and I used it to protect the government officials and often the children as I saw something approaching as it seemed only I could see. I remember one man asking me why I did not get a gun as he thought it would be much more effective, and I told him that a gun is and would not be an effective weapon against these things, that the knife I had was given to me from God and that God gives swords and knives for weapons and not guns. Guns seemed to be a symbol of carnal attempts at spiritual battle.
I had to come back to the United States for some reason and when I got here things seemed to be in a state of beginning chaos and anarchy. Society had had enough of this government and simply were not going to put up with any more (which also tells me of an article - short - that the Spirit gave me to write titled "America's Second Civil War" - which is coming, but which is spiritual). I had my knife and saw the enemy everywhere, but also found that my knife was NOT effective in this nation. I could not through it and have it hit it's intended target and the handle butt of the knife would hit instead of the sharp tip doing no damage. Then I had some evil entity get in my face and sort of heckle me that I could not use it here like I could in India (prophet is not a prophet in his own land). But in India I could throw this knife so I had power over distance in some way. When I got here I could not throw it and be effective, but as this evil was in my face heckling me about the fact I said "YES, but as long as I have it in my hand and you are close enough it is still effective". So I did not throw it, but I took it out of its sheave and stabbed this spirit through the heart and killed it. In that I guess he was simply stupid enough to get too close thinking my weapon was no longer useful because I could not effectively throw it and do any damage. These are some of the obscure things you guys can kind of mull around and write me. The gist of this letter is again just to say - that something is up, there is a climax point to these series of visions and to state that things are escalating which I believe you all sense and see in your own lives anyway and to say in particular to Pris that India I feel a great power of God rising up. When I was a young man I was asked by that most trusted prophet friend of mine (the one I have spoken of that has still remained the greatest and irrefutable prophet I have come across) to claim a nation. I picked India. Then some months later I had a vision of 2 million people in India come into a single place in a single day and were all saved at once - seemed to me it was New Delhi.
Well, the show isn't over yet and although I felt as though the last couple of years was going to kill me and even the attacks of the last couple of weeks I wonder how we are still alive at times, but these visions and having the compassion fill me and cover me tells me there is something in progress the enemy has so wanted to battle against and cause to abort.
