Vision

[IainH]

Sunday morning, the Lord graced me with a vision. At this point I need to make clear how this works, for me at least. If you're still holding on to Westernism and you imagine Biblical visions to be literal, like maybe watching a movie, they're not. A vision is tailored to the recipient and is a revealing of God's truth to his child. If you are a parent of more than one child you'll know that each kid is different and are taught life lessons in a way geared to their personalities. For me it always begin with a brief shift in visual reality, an attention getter saying Prepare your heart. After that follows whatever He decides, it is a powerful sensation in the heart that flows into something the brain can understand. It is always right and just what I need. This covenant family that is spread out with only a handful today online will grow tomorrow into groups of people together in the real world from within and without. It is God's will and no power on Earth can stop it, our enthusiasm, our sheer Joy in the Lord will draw those whom He has chosen. We trail blazers may face genuine persecution, we may even lose our lives because the world always reacts in fear to what it cannot understand. I have sworn before the Father to defend to my last breath our Faith. As long as I am physically able, I will ride as far as I must to ensure no one here shall face the fire alone.
Shalom, brothers and sisters. Love too.
Keep on keeping on (KOKO)

Good to have you on board, Iain. You've been a blessing here on the forums.

Aw, shucks y'all are too nice. Criticism and put downs slide right off, it was mommas main control strategy to keep us off balance and continuously seeking approval and affection. My big brutha call it "the Golden Child, GC". He would be GC for a while and do no wrong "I don't have this out your brother, why can't you do like him". Then I would be GC and on and on it went, I hated my brother. We figured it out after we grew up and then we quit the hate. This makes me more comfortable with "you SUCK!" than complements , weird right.

Hey, someone has to treat you sort of normal so you'll know what it looks like.

Yeah, it sucks that you had to experience some decent loving behavior in a forum and not, you know, your childhood...although I assume in between here and life with Mom you had something good. Gosh, I hope so...
