VISION: RAZOR SHARP

VISION: RAZOR SHARP


29th November 2007


As kids many of us loved to gather around this man who frequented our area, carrying a table on which was a small device that sharpened knives and scissors. The sparks of fire that came from the sharpening used to fascinate us.

Such salesmen would travel around the streets and the lanes and by-lanes of Bombay, calling in a loud rhythmic tone, asking householders to bring out their blunt instruments to be sharpened.


Last year, in a vision flash:


I heard the voice of a man, calling the people in the vicinity to bring their blunt instruments. I saw that not many came to him. It appeared that they thought their instruments were sharp enough. But there were those who were eager to get their instruments sharpened.


Yesterday, 28th November 2007, I was reminded of this vision flash.

Today, in another vision flash, I saw that those people who had continued with due diligence to have their instruments periodically sharpened, now had instruments with pin-point accuracy.

I saw that their sharpened instruments had so grown, that they could be standing in one country, but the instrument they held out reached world-wide.

Then I saw a strange thing. The super sharp pin-point of their instruments which at the tip looked like sharp needles, were being aimed at others and the needle was piercing various parts of the upper body of such people.

Those who were being pierced by these razor sharp needles were deeply offended. They felt victimized. They could not see that it was the Hand of God that was Guiding these people with sharp instruments. I then saw a glimpse of where the needle was touching. Though they had on shirts, I was given a glimpse, and saw to my surprise that all had band aids on various parts of their front upper body.

Upon the skin colored band aids was written the malaise these suffered from. ............. REJECTION, PRIDE, EGO, REBELLION, GREED, PUFFED UP WITH KNOWLEDGE, BLIND, DEAF, and so on.............

The pin-point razor sharp edge was lifting off the band aids and exposing the boils and blisters beneath. These who felt that they were in the 'victimized' group were outraged. Some did not stop to think, they just ran away, they did not want to be exposed.

'The enemy sent you to do this to us," they shouted as they ran as far as the could from the sharp needle points, " call yourself Christians? God would never never never set brother against brother, sister against sister, you heard from the enemy, not the Lord."

These ran far off and hid themselves. They would not allow the sharp instruments to touch them.

Others, though offended, stood where they were, and appeared to be trying to cover these exposed areas, with their hands. They were embarrassed.

But as they took their eyes off their self-inflicted wounds, and looked up, they saw a Bright Light before them. When they realized that the Lord's Hand was Guiding those pin point sharp instruments, they fell to their knees and repented.

As they rose up, they saw that there were no more band aids on their upper bodies, and their skin was as smooth as a baby's.

As they stood there examining their skin, a gusty wind blew up dust, but the dust did not affect them. In the wind, they briefly saw the band aids fly away, and were able to see what had been written upon the band aids.

"PRAISE GOD, FOR HE IS GOOD, HIS MERCY ENDURES FOR EVER! PRAISE GOD FOR HIS SHARP INSTRUMENTS! JESUS CHRIST THE SAME, YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER, HE IS FAITHFUL, HE IS FAITHFUL, HIS MIRACLES TO PERFORM," they shouted in joy.

And their thunderous sounds of rejoicing were heard afar off.

29Seest thou a man diligent in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.
