The Lord is Measuring His People    1/07/92

I saw the Lord with a measuring stick. He was measuring the ground, as if he was going to build something. He was measuring for the foundation first, then He measured for the height. I watched Him; then He turned to me and said: “Look at this height.” It seemed as if He were indicating a height of about 8 feet with His hand. He then said, “This is the height they should be at, but look where they are.” Then He brought His hand down to about 2 feet off the ground. “They have not sought to grow, to mature, and to become useful workers in the Kingdom of God.” Then the Lord showed me something that was almost comical, yet I knew it had a spiritual meaning. I saw a man lying on his back, kicking his feet, dressed in a diaper, with a baby bonnet on, drinking a bottle. There were others who looked similar to him. I could see how foolish this looked, but that is how they looked in the spirit world, babies in grown bodies. They should be full-grown, responsible adults, yet they continue to hold onto baby things and refuse to grow up, or to be responsible, ignoring the demands of growing up. Church, we are being measured up, and it is for a two-fold purpose. Are we measuring up as the bride of Christ, so we will be ready to go with Him when He comes? And are we responsible with what God has called us to do, until He comes? Surely He will ask us to give account as to why we refused to grow and why we chose to be self-centered little babies, looking to receive all the attention, rather than giving all to His service. Scrip. Ref: I Pet. 4:17-18

 

The Heart    1/08/92

The Lord showed me a box, and inside the box was a heart. I saw in the church, where people sat, that suddenly there were boxes in all their places, with hearts inside. I asked the Lord what this meant and He replied: “My people have shut their hearts inside boxes, guarding themselves from having to give all. They reserve a part for themselves; they have reserved a part for this or that. Some love their own life in this world, and that area of their heart is reserved in a box and not given over to the Lord. With some, it is a person in their lives that they have given their heart to, who occupies their time and leaves little left over for the Lord. For others it is the desire for a certain sin, but for one reason or another, they have not fully given their hearts to their Lord. They are not fully in love with Me; they share their hearts with other things. The more they fill their hearts with, the less they have to give to Me. They are not faithful brides, for they have other loves. They have forgotten that in the Word it says that their God is a jealous God. They give their hearts so easily, for a house, for a car, some flowers, some sweet words. So easily is a position in their heart paid for; but I did not buy their hearts with small gifts, but rather with My very life. With My very blood, I paid the price, in order to be the love of their hearts, the Lord of their lives. It is good that My people know this, that My Father will send Me for a faithful bride, a bride deeply in love and dedicated to her bridegroom. The unfaithful ones will not be accepted as brides. They will be rejected and left behind.” Scrip. Ref: Mat. 10:37-39; 23:37-40

 

Message to the Church    1/15/92

The Lord showed me a red rose, the reddest rose I have ever seen. It looked as if it had been dipped in blood. I saw some drops of blood fall from it. It was a living rose. I saw it at first, as a bud, then it bloomed and it was indeed a beautiful rose. But as it was there, fully bloomed, I began to see some petals began to fall, and the rose completely dried up before my eyes, until the wind blew it away. I asked the Lord what it meant, and He said: “This is how it is with many of My children, who are washed in My blood, saved from their sins, as they begin to flourish in My love, in My Word, until they are grown. But after a time, they begin to take their relationship with Me for granted. They no longer seek Me as before; everything has become a thing of habit to them, and they do not even realize that they have fallen away from their first love. The desire they once had has grown old and cold. The excitement they once had towards the things of God has changed and now they have become insensitive and indifferent before the Bridegroom comes for them. How can they believe that He will come for them then? Do they believe that this is the bride that the Father will send Me for? A bride that is indifferent, a bride that doesn't praise me, that no longer desires to go with Me, because she is too occupied with other things to pay attention to her groom? Do you think I paid such a high price to receive this treatment from My people? They have provoked the anger of My Father, because they have not appreciated the bridegroom and have not been faithful to Me. They will not be chosen; they will not be taken. Awake, My people! Awake before it is too late for you! Stir up the love for God in your hearts; repent and return and faithfully love your groom, that He may come for you as well! “ Then the Lord showed me a person, who had bathed himself and was dressing to go to church. The Lord said: “Notice how he fixes himself, putting on the best that he has in order to go to My house. Doesn't he understand that you are My temple, My houses? My people lift their hands and sing praises; they pray and cry out, “Praise the Lord!” but that is while they are in the house of God. When they return to their homes, many, who just as they take off their dress clothes and put them away, in the same way take off the praise and worship and put it away. The songs of praise, their prayers, are left hanging in the closet. Is this all that I mean to them? They return to their daily lives, to their sins and their disobedience, until the next service when they will bathe and put on their spiritual language and clothing to go to church. What? Do you believe that I am only in church buildings built by men? Am I not He who sees all and hears all? Am I not He who walks with you daily? Why do you cast Me aside, as if a relationship with Me is only for when you are in the church? Do they believe I close My eyes so you can ignore Me and sin freely? Do you think you can just close the door and turn out the lights and continue in sin and I will not see what you do? Am I real in your life? I am not just in one place, I am in all places; I hear all things; I see all things. Why have you made the Lord your God such a small god? Why have you made your God like a thing to be put on a shelf? I will not tolerate such dishonor! You are not worthy, says the Lord! You will have no part in My Kingdom unless there is a true, heartfelt repentance in your hearts and you return to the God of salvation with all your heart! You must learn to adore Me in Spirit and in truth at all times, in all places, for such worshipers the Father seeks after, and these are those who will have a place in His Kingdom.” Scrip. Ref: Isa. 29:13-15; Joel 2:12-13 ; John 4:23-24

 

A Message to the Church   3/27/92

While at a church service the Lord revealed this vision: I saw a dove's wing at first, then I heard the sound of wings and I saw many doves. I knew the Lord was about to do something special. I looked again I saw a dove flying upwards in the sky. I saw flames leaping in the sky, in the form of two hands positioned as in prayer. I saw the dove go and take a flame in his beak but it did not burn him. He flew away with the flame. I saw him come down to earth and he placed it over the head of a person. Likewise, flames were placed over the heads of many people. Then I saw the dove fly up again and he returned with precious stones and laid them on the ground in front of a servant of God. He laid down first a ruby, then a diamond, then a sapphire, all in a row. Then he made a second row and he laid down a emerald, a topaz, and a pearl; he began a third row with an aquamarine, and another stone that looked like a diamond, and an amethyst; each row was further away; the fourth row he laid I was unable to see clearly. I heard the voice of the Lord say: “I will supply!” (I knew this was symbolic of the gifts of the Spirit that He gives to His servants). The Lord showed me the dove again going up into heaven and coming down with an engagement ring in his beak which he put upon a servants hand; the voice of the Lord spoke and said: “Thou art mine!” Then I saw a dove come down with a scroll in his beak, with the Word of God written on it; as the dove approached the earth, the scroll opened up and he flew around the earth with the scroll following him in the breeze, like a flag waving. When he had circled the earth once, the scroll rolled shut again, and he came to earth and gave it to a servant of God. I heard God's voice say: “Do ye likewise!” (I knew He meant we are to carry the Word all around the world.) Last of all I saw a dove come down with a wedding veil in his beak and he put it upon a servant. I heard the voice of the Lord say: “Prepare yourself, because the wedding supper of the Lord comes!” After the Lord showed me these things, He told me He was going to speak directly to His people that night. When I arose and went to the pulpit, I shared the vision, and then the Spirit of God began to speak. These are the things I heard Him say: “I am present in the midst of My people when they lift holy hands and praise Me; lo, I come, and I desire that it will not be as when I went to Jerusalem, when they waved palm branches before Me; rather, that now they would wave their hands in praise and adoration. The times of the gentiles is almost fulfilled; then will I once again turn unto My people, Israel, that they might know the Holy One of Israel, their Almighty God, and His Name. Before this, I will pour out My glory upon the gentiles to provoke even more to jealousy the people of Israel. My glory shall be poured upon them in great measure, like they have not seen. It will be a common miracle that legs that are short will grow out; a thing heard of far and wide of the deaf who now hear. I will create new organs, even where there is none. This power will I pour out upon My people who are faithful. If you can believe, you will see it. Three gifts I give to My people: power to overcome the enemy, faith to believe without doubt, and anointing to do miracles in My Name. Those who do not believe that which they hear, what which I am now speaking, shall be cut away from My people, put out of My flock for their unbelief, so that the rest be not contaminated with their unbelief; unless the repent quickly, I will separate them. For the time has come to separate the goats from the sheep; the goats are not fit and will have no part in that which I have promised.” The Lord showed me a flock, and I saw Him passing through and petting the sheep; He separated the sheep until He found the littlest, most timid ones, who were hidden among the others of the flock. These He took in His arms and held them to His chest. He spoke again: “I am the Good Shepherd; I pass through My sheep; I am in the midst of them: I will separate and seek out the smallest, insignificant ones and I will anoint them greatly and pour out My glory upon them, and I will be glorified through them. I will choose them, so that none can say it was by their hand, by their talent that these things were done, but by My Spirit. I shall pour out My Spirit upon the smallest, insignificant ones. I say unto you now, what is it to you? Should you not rejoice that My Name is glorified? For what does it matter through whom, only that I am glorified before the eyes of the world, that they might believe. And surely, when they see the great things which I shall do through those humble, small servants, they will say: “Surely the Almighty God lives”, and they shall know He who has come to save them.” Then the Lord showed me a pipe. It was dirty and old on the outside, but He broke it open, and inside I saw pure liquid gold flowing on the inside. “Surely”, said the Lord, “I will choose those that are not great in any thing, the small ones; therefore do not judge by the outer appearance, for you shall not know them by this. A great trial comes against My church like a dark heavy cloud, but I will put Myself in between those who trust in Me and this cloud, and I will rebuke this cloud of evil that comes against them. I have come to break chains, to untie ropes that bind, and to roll back the tide of evil sent against My people. As I was with Israel as a cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, so shall I be with My people in these last days, and the glory of these latter days shall be even greater, says the Lord.” I saw a great darkness coming towards the servants of God, from the left side, or the west side, and I saw from the right side a great, white glorious tornado spinning towards them. The tornado caught up the servants of God and spun them around in the Spirit with great glory and power; it covered them from the cloud of darkness, for it could not approach those that were caught up in the cloud of glory. The Lord said: “A great thing comes against My church, but those that are hidden in Me, I will cover them in My power and glory and they will not be overcome.” The Lord also said that a great fire would come to purge the earth, but those that are faithful and true would be taken out before the fire was poured out upon the earth. He also said to those that grieve over the death of their loved ones in Christ, to weep no more because soon they would be resurrected first, and then we also would be caught up with them, to be with Him. He spoke other things also, messages to individuals of the church, to the Pastor through me, as well as through my husband. Scrip. Ref: John 10:11-15; I Cor. 1:27-29

 

The Time of “Religion” is Over   4/12/92

“The time of religion is over, for I do not come for a religious people. Religion is of the world; one of man's attempts to justify themselves before God. I have no part with religion, rather, I call men to know Me, and to live a new life. They have not understood this. They have a false security in themselves and their religion, but it will not save them. I am the Living God, who calls those that are Mine, to Me, to a new life, a real life, and not a religious facade. Of truth I tell you, that if they could but see how the first church walked in faith, they would see how far they have gone away from the truth. These, who call themselves servants in these times, have no idea what true faith is. Their root is shallow, as are they. They have not the faith to withstand a storm, not even a small shower of trials. They have not the faith to overcome sickness, neither persecution, for religion is what they have, and not the overcoming power of God that comes from confidence in Me. They have loved this world and are tied to this world. They are not strong in faith, neither in their relationship with Me. Wake up! There are hard times coming and many will fall away because their religion will not be enough. Only those that have their life hidden in Me will stand and overcome. Look! Look at what you have; is it truly a relationship, a friendship with Me? Where is the fruit thereof? Where is the results in your life? There is none, or very little. Come, while you can, and cast off the old for a new living way.” Scrip. Ref: John 4:23-24

 

The First Church   4/12/92

The Lord gave me this vision of the first church: I saw a group of women entering a home. They were excited. They were talking about the great blessing they had received through the message they had just heard. They smiled and laughed as they talked, working quickly together to put food on a wooden table. It was near dark and they were serving a meal. I saw a group of men arrive and they entered and sat at the table on wooden benches. One man appeared to be older, a leader, a special guest. He was the one who brought the message. He might have been Peter or Paul, or one of the disciples, I do not know, but everyone was eager to hear his words. They gave thanks to the Lord and ate, listening all the while to what the man said. Some would ask a question from time to time. Darkness began to fall and candles were lit. Others arrived and entered in quietly so as not to disturb, and before long the room was filled with people sitting or standing everywhere. On a large stone staircase leading up the stairs, I could see mothers sitting with babies and children in their laps; looking down and listening to the man who spoke at the table. Their was such hunger to hear, such a love and joy among them all. The candles were burnt down far, when the man stood; they all prayed and began to leave. They hugged each other and left with such peace and joy in their hearts, as if they were sorry that it had to end. Then I saw a man and wife with a small child working with a donkey and a plow out in a field. It was just a little outside of a town. The man was plowing, the woman and small boy were planting seeds in an open field. Close by there was a small dirt road that led to town. There were trees along the roadside. I could see a man coming down the road. The wife looked up and saw him, and called to her husband. She ran and got water and food and the husband called out to the man. They went and sat on a rock near the roadside and served him food and water. It was obvious they just met and did not know each other, for the man said, “Friend, you look tired and hungry; sit and eat, and rest awhile. We have plenty to share.” The man gladly accepted. Then the man and the woman began to tell him about the meeting the night before and all the things they had heard. They spoke for a long time; the traveler said he did not wish to take so much time from their work in the field, but they told him not to be concerned, there would be time to plant later. They invited him to come and stay at their house for the night and to meet the others and the “teacher” who had come. It amazed me, the looks upon their faces, all of these first Christians. They were full of love, eager to learn, eager to share. Their normal work was somehow not as important as looking for a soul to share Jesus Christ with. They were together, sharing what they had, caring for each others children, like one big happy family. The Lord spoke to me and told me how far the church of today has gone away from the first church and I could see what He meant. He told me many have changed a relationship for a religion, a dry tradition, that has no life in it, where church is an obligation and the first priority of life is ourselves, our money and our time. No wonder we lack the faith and power of the first church. We lack their love for the Lord and for each other. Script. Ref: Acts 2:44-47

 

Message to The Church   4/25/92

In a service a few weeks ago, the Lord spoke directly to the church, and He did so again in a service today. This is what He said: “I have promised My people for a time now, that I would pour out of My glory upon them. I promised them fires of revival and great power, signs and wonders, that have not yet been seen by them in such a way. I have spoken of these things for some time now, but now I say to you that it is not coming, but rather, that it is here; it is time! I will fulfill the promises I have made. I will show forth My glory upon My people who have truly separated themselves unto Me. I am wearied of the testimony that My people have given upon the earth. I have been mocked and despised, rejected and offended, because of their testimony. But no more, says the Lord! I will not be made as a thing of reproach before the eyes of men. I will cleanse My Name among them; I will clean My testimony and bring forth great glory and power. Surely, they will know that I AM the same. I AM He who changes not, the Almighty, the Everlasting, the Holy One of Israel. I will be glorified through those faithful who will humble themselves and allow Me to glorify My Name in them. I will pour out of My Spirit and do mighty things through them, and all will know it is I, and not them, who do these things. I will leave this world without excuse,for they shall see My glory arise and great healing and salvation poured out. Those that believe not, or have fallen away, will have no excuse for rejecting so great a salvation. I come to take My people soon, but I will not take them away defeated like a dog that runs with his tail between his legs. I will not take them out of this present shame, without glorifying My Name throughout the earth. I will take them then, in victory, as the triumphant bride to meet their beloved bridegroom, leaving behind a testimony that is powerful as fitting of the King of Kings, without spot or blemish, as befitting the bride of such a king. They shall be raised in victory like this generation has not seen; I shall manifest that I am He, the Holy God of Israel, and My mighty arm of salvation shall be seen. Believe, My people, for this is the time of great steps of faith, not small ones. You must believe and receive by faith that which has been told you, and you shall surely see it.” Scrip. Ref: Joel 2:28-32

 

Vision of The End Times   5/10/92

As I was praying, I looked and saw a dark cloud in the sky; it was the blackest, thickest cloud I have seen. I saw a poor humble neighborhood below. I saw Jesus walking through the streets. It looked like night time because of the dark cloud. He was looking up and down the streets at people. He paused from time to time to collect His little sheep. When I looked I saw that the people appeared as animals. Some were pigs, others were goats or rams. Some were sheep, but they were not very clean. Jesus was collecting the little lambs. He stopped at a house and went in. There were goats in the house and one little lamb, which He picked up in His arms and carried out. There were now quite a few little lambs following behind Him. He stopped and looked up at an apartment building that had several floors. He went up to the top floor and into an apartment for a little lamb that was all alone. When He was done gathering the lambs, He led them out, up into a mountain, and there He taught them. When He finished teaching them; He spoke to them saying: “Behold, I give you My power, My authority to go and to do likewise.” Suddenly, they changed from lambs to people dressed in white robes, like the Lord, shining in the same glory as He had. They had their hands raised in praise and worshiped the Lord. He was taken up from them and they went down, back into the city and began preaching everywhere, and gathering sheep. Soon, I could see that the fold had multiplied to the extent that they no longer fit in the street. They were over-flowing onto the sidewalks and into the grass. It was a great multitude of sheep which they had gathered. As they continued on down the street, suddenly, there was a person dressed in black in front of them, who had others dressed like soldiers, like knights in black armor. I saw that they were blocking the road so the sheep could not pass. Suddenly, I saw blood running in the street. They had wounded or killed some sheep that were on the outskirts of the flock. The sheep were packed close together, so they could not penetrate the flock, but they were able to harm the ones which were on the outer edges. At this point, I heard the voice of the Lord say, “I will not permit My sheep to suffer this, I will take them with Me.” Suddenly, they were all gone. Then I saw this great hall. It looked like a medieval hall, which had stained glass windows and religious relics, like an old church. I saw a knight in black walking down the hall. Sitting upon a throne at the altar, was a person dressed in red, who looked like Satan. As the messenger approached, his form changed into a woman dressed in scarlet and black, like a queen. She was very angry. The messenger told her: “We cannot find them.” She became even angrier and shouted at him: “What do you mean, you can't find them?” He replied: “We have looked everywhere, but they are not anywhere, they have disappeared!” She replied: “Don't be foolish, that is what they want you to believe. They are hiding somewhere. Get out and find them, and don't come back until you do! Search everywhere! Find them!”, she screamed; “And if you don't, you'll pay with your head! Is that clear?” He nodded his head and dismissed himself. She began to pace back and forth in anger. Soldiers were sent out all over the earth. Then I saw that soldiers were searching in a mountain area. They found a few Christians that were hiding. The soldiers questioned them, and tortured them. I heard the soldiers saying: “Tell us where they all are! Where have you hidden them?” They had one man on his knees. He had been badly beaten. Holding a sword to his throat, they questioned him. He said: “We told you, they are not here. They were taken up with the Lord!” The captain of the soldiers replied: “Lies! All lies! Do you think we are stupid? Come on now, where are they?” The man said: “I told you. I cannot tell you anything else. It is the truth, they were taken with the Lord!” At his reply, the captain signaled his soldiers, who in turn began kicking the man. He fell forward, but they grabbed him back up by the hair of his head. The captain said: “We know you have them hidden somewhere, so why do you continue to suffer? We will find them anyway. And the children, why are there no children among you? Where are the children?” The man replied in tears: “They were all taken when the Lord came.” The captain said mockingly: “If that is true, why are you still here then, Christian? You lie!” The man replied sadly: “We were not ready when He came, so He did not take us to Heaven with the rest.” The captain was impatient and angry, and said: “Well, you shall go with Him there now then!” And at that, he thrust him through with his sword. Then he began questioning the others that had been captured as well, who were made to watch what had just happened. The vision ended. This message was clear to me. It was confirmation of the words the Lord had spoken recently concerning His coming and of how He would first separate the small simple lambs to teach and would endow them with His power and glory. He will send them forth in His glory and they will do the things He did, and even greater things will they do. They will have His authority to find His sheep, with great power, and many shall be saved. God's testimony will be made clean, glorious, before the eyes of the world. They will know that He is the true Almighty God, for His glory will be seen in His servants. There shall arise persecution, but the Lord will come to take His true sheep with Him, those who have obeyed until His coming. Those who have gone astray, will run and hide, knowing what has happened. Many will be convinced finally to serve the Lord, whom they abandoned. The devil will rise up against them; the whore of Babylon will seek to destroy them. The world will rationalize the disappearance of so many by attributing it to aliens or some other thing. They will refuse to believe or acknowledge that the Lord Jesus came, as He promised He would. They will seek to destroy those who remain, those who have repent and return to serve the Lord, and they will seek out those who they believe they are hiding. This message is a warning to repent and seek the Lord that you might not be left behind. Scrip. Ref: Matt. 24:21-22; 24:36-44

 

Message for Puerto Rico   6/17/92

The Lord gave me this dream, where my husband, Sergio, and I were in a convention of youth. It was a concert being transmitted by radio. The music was very secular, with only a few Christian lyrics. The youth were dancing to the music as they would dance in a party, in a very sensual way. There was nothing spiritual or reverent about the activity. When the music stopped, they called my husband to pray. He took the microphone, but instead of praying, the Spirit of God began to speak through him saying: “There is sin in the midst of you, and all types of immorality, says the Lord. Why do you ask My servant to pray? You pray, and repent of your evil ways! My servant cannot bless this activity, because I will not allow him to do so. This is not of Me! This is diabolic and endangers your souls!” The Lord then began, through the word of knowledge, to reveal the sins of those that were present. The Lord spoke to me in the dream as well and said: “You also will speak to this people and to this island, and I will speak through you.” I asked the Lord how, since I was not invited to preach. At that moment, Sergio finished speaking to the people and said: “Now, I want to call my wife to speak to you what the Lord has shown her.” I went up to the platform, to the microphone, and began to speak, saying: “Young people, what is this that you do? How can you say you serve Me and do such things? Says the Lord: Repent, for I made your bodies for My glory and not for this worldliness. Puerto Rico has fallen, says the Lord, for that reason your youth are as they are. My people have fallen away from Me, and now they serve their councils, their temples, their doctrines, their clock, but not Me. Not only have they hardened their minds against Me, but what is worse, their hearts have been hardened as well. How is it that you have forgotten that I am your faithful friend? You say that I Am, but you don't even speak to Me. I paid a high price for you, and I promised I would never leave you, yet not even for that reason do you thank Me. Your hearts have gone away from Me, says the Lord. You are far from Me; you are religious, but you do not know Me. And you, pastors! Do you think you are without blame? I see what you have done. I see how you steal from the offerings; I see how you abuse the sheep, and that you do not truly love them. What has possessed you to do so? There is no fear in you because you do not truly know Me. You think it is a business, but it is My work, and the hour has come that you will have to give account to Me! How can you say you love Me, whom you have not seen, when you do not love one another? You are in disobedience to My Word, and you have provoked My wrath against you, Puerto Rico! You judge the outer appearance, but not the heart, and in that, you judge in order to criticize and not in love. You keep holiness on the outside but there is no love inside. Your souls are empty even though you believe yourselves to be clean outwardly. You should be in remorse, crying out: “Ay, Ay, forgive us Lord!” Yet, you continue to do the same things without repentance in your heart. There will com an “Ay” over you, and it will come from the judgment poured out upon you. This land shall shake, and then will you bow your knees and cry out to Me truly, seeking Me with your whole heart. You are not under My wing of protection! You will see how terrible it is not to serve the Lord your God! Yet, he who trusts in the Lord shall not be ashamed. If you truly know Me, how can you continue in your pride and sin? How can you say you trust in Me when in your disobedience to My Word, you show that you do not even know Me, let alone love Me? A new commandment I give you, that you love one another, but for your lack of love, you shall be shaken as a sheet in the wind. Look how you have filled My church with demons, and your youth with worldliness and sin. They do not see an example in My people, nor in the pastors. They see that you do not obey My Word, so they do not obey My Word. They give place to the flesh, as you have obeyed your flesh, judging, criticizing, and angry one with another. Are those not the works of the flesh? You have forgotten your God! Oh My people, you have been unfaithful. You have filled your heart with materialism. You love this world, its money, and possessions, and you continue on without hearing Me. How is it that you have not repented? You reject My voice and harden your heart more and more. You will return and cry out to Me with your whole heart when you find yourselves in danger and anguish, for it is the only way you will awake. You are very indifferent and distant from Me. Oh, what pain to My heart you cause, says the Lord. You have provoked the wrath of My Father against you, and soon you will see it, unless your repent!” (This was the message I spoke to the people in the dream.)

 

Message for Puerto Rico   6/21/92

While I was at a church, the Lord showed me a dark, dense black cloud that moved like a black fog over the face of the land, throughout the island of Puerto Rico. All of the lights went dark when this cloud passed through. The Lord told me: “Light a light, because darkness is coming!” I said, “Lord, how can I light a light now, when I am soon leaving the island and will be away for some time?” He replied: “Light it, and I will watch over it!” I did not understand what He meant by this or how I was to light a light, but then He said: “The enemy has come in like a flood because My people have left the door open to him. The enemy has put My people in a state of numbness, indifference has entered their hearts. They have been attacked by this spirit which has them numb, as one who has been anesthetized before an operation, so My people have been anesthetized by the enemy in a way that they cannot see, neither are they aware of what is happening around them.” The church has been rocked to sleep and finds themselves in a paralyzed state, not because they are in rebellion against God's Word, but because of little things that little by little, very subtly have deceived them. Their jobs, their homes, the economy, their problems with their children, the problems in the church, have occupied so much of their time and thoughts, that they are completely distracted from what is going on in the world around them, because they are caught up in the small world around them. They are short-sighted, and can only see what is right in front of them. They are over-worked, weary from daily life, weary from the battles and the cares of this life, so that they are over-extended physically and emotionally, and are unable to see or receive from the Lord, what is truly happening. I saw this vision of this black cloud that moved through the island, but as I looked closer, I could see that the cloud was actually a cloud of demonic creatures that had wings like bats, and they flew all over the island. The Lord spoke and said: “These will penetrate the island, and things will occur that have never been heard of before, nor seen in the island. Demons of perversion, crime, and violence will cause a chaos of evil like nothing that has been seen before in this place. Until now, there has been violence between the unbelievers over drugs, crimes of passion, thefts, but this has not affected the church; because it has not affected their world much, Christians have been distracted with other things, and they have not paid much attention. They do not give much importance to that which is going on around them, neither do they pray for these things. They are too busy with the religious war between their own denominations. They have left a breach open in the wall, and the enemy has entered, and now even greater and stronger soldiers are entering through the breach and filling the land. These higher ranks of soldiers are much worse then those who came before them. Warn My people, yes, even My people, and tell them they must come together in love and in prayer, they and their families, and fight against this enemy in prayer, from the oldest to the youngest. Tell them to put on the armor of God and to prepare!” This is the light that must be lit, in order to overcome the darkness. Scrip. Ref: 2 Chron. 7:14

 

The Army of the Lord      7/07/92

The Lord showed me a vision of a great army dressed in white running up a wooded mountainside. They had banners in their hands. They began to tire on the way up; some slipped and fell, others were wounded by the enemy and fell. There were many casualties along the mountainside, with their white banners laying on the ground beside them. Suddenly, I saw a second group come running up. They shouted out a cry, like a cry of victory, and ran very hard up the mountain. When they reached the fallen ones, they picked up their banners, lifting them high, and continued up the mountain, taking the place of the fallen ones. Their assault up the mountain was successful. They planted their banners at the top, and rejoiced. The enemy had obviously fled before them. The Lord showed me that this was a picture of His church. Many who had gone up against the enemy, many of the older ones, the leaders, have fallen. They have lost the victory while only having reached half way. But the church of the Lord will not be stopped because many have fallen; the Lord will send in others in their place, to lift up the banner of Christ and proclaim victory in faith, and continue on where the others left off. This church will be built, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it! A worthy bride shall come forth to conquer in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, endued with power and glory, and they shall overcome by the blood of the Lamb and by their testimony! They are those who live this gospel as well as preach it, and the Lord shall be glorified in their victory. The Lord spoke to me later on, telling me that the soldier that is faithful is also the bride that is faithful, and the bride that is faithful, is the faithful soldier. They are one and the same. The Lord told me many wish to be the faithful bride, but few wish to be the faithful soldier. War does not appeal to them, but a wedding feast does, a crown of glory does, eternal life does. There is a price to be paid. He who wishes to reign in glory with the Lord must also be willing to suffer with Him. He who wishes to put on the bridal gown and the crown of eternal life, must first put on the armor of God, the sword of God, and fight the good fight, in order to obtain the crown. The kingdom of God is taken by force, by fighting the enemy, and the valiant ones are those that obtain it. The Lord showed me a lion roaming around with thin, sharp teeth. His teeth had blood dripping from them. The Lord showed me that the victory is ours through the blood of Jesus Christ, but the lion, Satan, goes about looking to steal it from us, to destroy us before we can reach the victory. There is a war, but many will not fight until they are forced to, having no other choice. Persecution forces the servants of God to put on their armor, to bend their knees and intercede. The Lord said: “I would that it were not so, that they would hearken unto Me and be obedient, but they will not. They are too concerned with their own selves and their life to see the numbers the enemy leads astray. Until it comes close to them, they will do nothing. This has been their choosing, not Mine. Let he who is wise hear and respond to the call. Let him put on the armor and fight in the spirit and gain the victory. Let him prepare and go forth in faith, for I go with My army, therefore, fear not!” Scrip. Ref: Eph. 6:10-18

 

The Church is Not Prepared   7/09/92

The Lord gave me this vision while I was preparing to preach at a church. First I saw the presence of the Lord in the church. He said three times: “Awake, My people!” Then He said: “My people are not prepared for the days ahead. Great trials are yet to come, yet My people do not strengthen themselves for the battle that lays ahead. Tell them to be faithful to the end and not to surrender under the stress all around them; surely I am with them to deliver them. Lo, I come quickly, with a recompense for all those who have endured and remained faithful!” Then the Lord began to show me things of heaven once again. I saw heaven as if from outside the walls, as if I was up high, and I could see heaven as if I was looking over the wall at what was inside. I saw many streets of gold and mansions. The wall was made of solid pearl with a gold border. Then I saw from the inside, the New Jerusalem, the great crystal palace that I had seen once before, where the throne of God is. I saw a street of gold that came up, in a circular fashion, to the great door or entrance. I saw a golden cart arrive, pulled by large white horses. Inside the cart was were all types of beautiful flowers. I saw a second cart arrive that had all kinds of delicious fruits inside. The angels came and took these flowers and fruits inside. Suddenly I was inside the great banquet room, where the wedding supper of the Lamb will be held. I was standing in front of the great table. I looked directly in front of me at the fine white linen cloth covering the table and the settings on top. I saw a gold trimmed plate and silverware next to the plate. It was made of fine gold. It had such a delicate, ornate design, like nothing I have ever seen before. Tiny little flowers and leaves intertwined were on the fork, but not engraved in it, rather it looked as if they had been made and somehow put on top of the fork, raised from the surface about 1/8 of an inch. Each little flower was a small and intricately designed. I saw this goblet whose stem was of gold with the same delicate design in the gold, as if each had been done by hand. Inside the stem sat a pure crystal goblet that was cut with many facets, like a diamond, which sat inside the golden stem like a precious stone set in a ring. I have never seen anything like it before. I smelled this delicious smell of food cooking. It smelled like lamb roasting on a open fire, with a sweet smell, like the smell of honey. It was such a wonderful smell! I understood how soon this event must be if the food was being prepared. Then the Lord showed me a giant room that looked much like a bank vault. It was a crown depository. I could only focus on two of the many crowns in that place. One was round, made out of the thinnest gold threads I've ever seen, in a form like a golden spider web, with precious stones set inside the web. The other was a crown with a gold band around it and spikes which had aquamarines on the points pf the spikes. The base had what appeared as a golden braid, with aquamarine stones weaved into the braid. Then I was in another room where there were wall to wall wedding dresses. On one side were the more feminine looking dresses, and on the other side those that were more masculine looking. The dress I saw was like a bridal gown. In the back of the dress I saw this great bow, like a sash, with a long train down to the ground. The material was translucent, with precious pearl over the top. The bow stayed still, not loose, yet the material was so thin and translucent that I could see through it. The masculine tunics (robes) had gold braid around the border up through the front and around the neck, with precious stones embroidered into the golden braid. The Lord, who showed me these things, told me this is the reward that awaits the faithful ones who do not leave Him before the trumpet sounds. Those who remain faithful and true until that day, and have not fallen away into sin, in the trials, will receive this reward. Those who are found spotted and blemished, will be unfit to be the bride of Christ. Awake! Prepare now, for surely that day approaches faster than we are aware of. We still have a far way to go to be the Holy bride of Christ, that will go with Him! Scrip. Ref: Rev, 19: 7-9; 21:9-14

 

The Rapture of the Church    7/12/92

The Lord showed me that in order to be a strong, faithful, consecrated, fully motivated army, we must be aware of the goal which we are working towards. We must keep our reward before us in times of struggle, so we do not give in, no matter how hard we are pressed. He gave me this vision so the people of God will understand what is their reward, and what they are fighting for: I saw myself lifting up from off the ground. I was soaring up through the air. I was dressed in white and I passed through the clouds like a bird, going straight up. I saw others, shooting up into the clouds as well. The looks upon their faces were of exhilaration, overwhelming joy, as they realized this was the rapture! They had made it! They were faithful, found without spot or blemish at the sound of the trumpet. What a joyous feeling seeing the faces of these precious saints! Words cannot describe the feeling I felt or the expression I saw on their faces. There in the clouds was the Lord Jesus! He was waiting for us to reach Him. He began to go up at an incredible speed, with us following close behind Him. When we passed this earth's atmosphere, we entered a bright, shining tunnel of lights. It looked like a crystal tunnel with light reflecting from all sides (like a prism that reflects light), causing a rainbow of colors. As we traveled up the tunnel I could hear the echoes of praise, “Glory to God!”, “Hallelujah!”, “Praise the Lord!”, which came forth from us all as we ascended up in the tunnel. At the end of the tunnel we came to the great gates of heaven. They were open! Jesus was the first to step His foot upon the street of gold, which laid before us in that heavenly city. We were right behind, following Him! The streets were lined with multitudes; the redeemed of the Lord were there, awaiting us. As the Lord led us in, a great shout came forth in unison, a shout of joy and victory which thundered throughout heaven! Glory to God! It was so tremendous. Then I saw them all crowding in upon us to hug us and welcome us; such a rejoicing! The Lord then led us down the street to the Holy City. We entered into that great place where the throne of God is. When He entered with us, there in the distance of that great, enormous place, was the great throne covered in a cloud of glory and the Lord spoke and said: “Father, here I am, with those which you gave Me!” The vision ended there. Surely God's grace has revealed this to the church to encourage them in these hard days to continue on and not give up. Praise His Name! Scrip. Ref: Rev. 4:10-11; 5:13-14; 19:5-7
