GOD in the Whirlwind

We just had an unusual weather scenario. Sunny, warm for this time of year (50 degrees). All of a sudden everything is dark - there was no rain in the forecast. The Lord had me look on radar and the size of the disturbance was a mere blip.

The Lord had me preparing to go out on an errand. He orchestrated every move including the time of my departure from my house. This is important and He will have me explain in detail.

First, however, Holy Spirit is orchestrating this dialogue so we will reveal it in His order (as always).

Earlier this morning when He woke me up He started showing me (literally in real time) an event that happened in earthly time around the year 2001. Not sure if He ever had me tell this story but it was supernatural and phenomenal and has direct relevance to what happened TODAY (October 29th, 2011) - wow - 10 years later (in world time).

NOTE: THERE IS NO TIME IN GOD - Jesus IS - He IS yesterday - He IS today - He IS tomorrow. Wherever Jesus IS it IS that time and that place and that moment - and it is always then - right now yesterday IS and tomorrow IS - time IS Jesus. Ask Holy Spirit for a revelation. When you "get it" you will be stunned.

In 2001 - I had heard a message by some television evangelists. They were talking about getting rid of the demons in your house. I was having enough problems in our lives to know that there was opposition to the Lord. (And truly there is NO ONE THAT TEACHES the true things of God - so if you've never heard this, pray and act accordingly). The female prophet at the church I was attending then made an appointment to come to my home in the evening one night. She and I then proceeded to literally throw away EVERYTHING that wasn't of God. From playstation games to movies to music CD's to books to drawings by my kids - any and all things that did not glorify God were put into this huge box (about the size of a stove). It took a long time but we gathered it all together. We also prayed and anointed each room as we finished.

We dragged the box out the back patio door. All of the street lights (it was actually a playground out that door beyond my fenced back yard) but all of the street lights were literally covered with haze. We dragged the box to a dumpster at the far end of the parking lot next to the playground - the lights and sky were still covered with haze.

We went back inside and closed the door. Prayed and were under the anointing and oil in the house, and the prophet had to go home. We went out the front door and up the steps - when we stepped out on the porch, the haze was gone. The haze was demons. As we went through the anointing and came out the other side, the demons fled.

Fast forward - same year - bright sunny day. My kids' friends were at our apartment. My daughter was sitting on the front porch. I went outside to talk to her. After a little while we noticed something out of the corner of our eyes - across the street (along side of the daycare center) a whirlwind started (nothing was there - it was an empty space). But the whirlwind started and it was full of papers - it was full of the papers that the prophet and I had thrown away. And it wasn't a day or two later - those things we threw in the dumpster were long ago gone to the city dump. But the LORD brought those papers back and He swirled them around in a whirlwind...it got bigger and higher....my daughter's friends and my son came outside and they also saw this - - - and the papers literally went up to the heavens - so high that you could barely see them (think of the highest airplane you've seen - way up there but still sort of visible). When those papers reached that altitude they began to glitter like gold. You could see gold sparkling all over the sky, reflecting brightly. ABOVE the glittering was a white eagle. Soaring above those things (disposed of for the glory of God, in obedience to God) - - - which was later explained to me in a book written by a prophet (the white eagle).

Back to today (Saturday October 29th, 2011). So the Holy Spirit takes me to that sunny day and shows me the whirlwind and the gold and the eagle - reminding me of the supernatural ways of God in my life.

And today, after talking to my daughter on the phone and getting dressed, etc etc etc and leaving my driveway at the EXACT moment that God worked it out for me to leave (because the errand wasn't really an errand per say it was the Lord saying "Go out there I want to show you something)....

I live at the top of a hill on a street that is no outlet - ends at a fence. As I am going down the hill, the sky changed from sunny and blue to dark and gray - one of the mean neighbors (in cahoots with the guy across the street AND a 'christian' with his own radio broadcast! that the enemy uses against me) was out in his front yard raking - and as I drove slowly past him (couldn't go fast as a car was coming toward me - also orchestrated by God to make me go slow so I would be at the exact spot at the exact moment) - God's whirlwind appeared to my right - it 'sucked up' a pile of leaves someone had raked - the whirlwind with the leaves went up up up, higher and wider - there is only one large two-story huge house on this street - and it surrounded that house and more - and was taller (at least three times taller) than that big house - and leaves were swirling like a tornado around and around - the entire area of 'air' was just filled with leaves! If the Lord had permitted I would have taken a picture but He said NO.

Which immediately brought back the images of His taking me earlier this morning (literally) to the moment in 2001 when there was the OTHER whirlwind -

In Job, God spoke to him (Job) out of the whirlwind (Job 38:1; 40:6). Elijah was taken up via whirlwind (2 Kings 2:1; 2:11). In one scripture it says out of the south came the whirlwind and out of the north came the cold (and when this event happened today it dropped from 50 degrees to 39 degrees)(Job 37:9).

Other interesting whirlwind events in His Word (as Holy Spirit points them out):

Proverbs 10:25

As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters: but God shall rebuke them, and they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like a rolling thing before the whirlwind.

(NOTE: ALL of the leaves in the whirlwind were amber in color)

Zechariah 7:14

But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was desolate after them, that no man passed through nor returned: for they laid the pleasant land desolate.

Zechariah 9:14

And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the LORD God shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.

(NOTE: The disruptive weather that followed the whirlwind lasted for 40 minutes - it stretched about 10-15 miles in size and produced something called "graupel" (that's what one meteorologist is saying) - I was out in it - it started as sleet and then turned to hail-like masses - every car and every street was covered in icy mess....it was very cool. AND there was blue sky and white clouds beyond the dome of gray - truly have never seen anything like it.)

TRULY the day of the Lord is upon us - truly it is the hour of judgment. He is very plain in His speaking and has always shown unto me His signs and wonders.....discern via Holy Spirit - ask Him if you are ready for Him. We must all daily submit ourselves to His judgment - DAILY - that we may stand wholly holy before Him in humble obedience.

In my weakness HE is strong!

The Lord rarely has me speak about myself. It is no secret that I am an imperfect vessel. That the Lord would do such great and mighty miracles through such a broken vessel just proves that it is the greatness of God and has NOTHING to do with us - it is Him THROUGH us - and He truly uses the weak to confound the wise. (How many have bypassed His glory, His power for judging with natural eyes that THIS vessel isn't something God would use...they know not what they do).

The Lord sent me to Chicago last Saturday. The trip included my brother and sister. My son wanted to do something special with us - he chose a boat tour on the Chicago River.

We parked in a parking garage....it was very difficult for me - much walking from the parking garage to elevator to us getting off on wrong floor and walking far, then turning around and finding the right floor, to street level then across the street. Looking down two stories from street level to river's edge, the stairs and the distance to the pier. Once at the pier having to stand in line waiting for our boat....

In and of myself I could not do it. BUT GOD...enabled/strengthened me to make it that far - AND He sent an 'angel' -

There was a woman named Anita who worked for the boat line. She came up two stories of steps to talk to me and assure me that if I could get down the steps, she would take care of the rest.

As the Lord helped me down those stairs....she met me at the bottom with a wheelchair! She rolled me to the dock, let me sit right in front of the line, then arranged it so that myself and my family could board FIRST, picking a good chair, good view.

The tour was 90 minutes and shared the architecture of the Chicago skyline. When the boat returned to the dock, Anita came once again (true to her word) with the wheelchair. I thought she was going to wheel me to the stairs that I would have had to struggle to climb - but I had great peace and assurance from the Lord that all would be well.

This wonderful humanitarian didn't let me walk up the stairs...no, she rolled the wheelchair (and me!) past the stairs, probably about 1-2 city blocks to a cement ramp - then proceeded to push me up that ramp (two stories height/length) to the top (street level)!

THAT WAS JESUS! Sometimes I am sad that my physical body is the way it is. The Lord has permitted me to exercise in the water for over one year - for over 6 hours per week - yet my physical body seems to have changed very little. Sometimes I wonder what He can do through me with such seemingly severe limitations. But He has done oh, so much through me - through this broken vessel. Miracle after miracle. Not only for others, but always showing His love for me personally. Always. He has permitted me to read about the lives of other imperfect yet wholly-His vessels, including Mother Teresa. She stresses so much that it is in our weakness that HE is strong. Never allowing us to rely upon ourselves in ANY aspect of our lives - always needing Him - AND never being let down. He ALWAYS comes through, NEVER leaves us stranded. For truly when we are weak it is ALL HIM - as it must be with each and every aspect of our lives - ALL HIM and NOTHING of self.

I hope this encourages you today. He is amazing. He will never let you down. And He can work through any - no matter what- as long as you are yielded. Yielded to Him wholly.

God bless you.

His Messenger
