VISION: THE ALUMINIUM POT

VISION: THE ALUMINIUM POT

12th May 2009

I saw this vision last month.

Down below, I saw an aluminium pot. From a deeply dug trench, came a fire that was heating the pot.

People were going about to and fro from their work and daily routines.

It appeared that a long time ago, a group of people had dug a trench, and lit a fire. Upon the fire this group of people had placed an aluminium pot. Everyone down below for a period of time had forgotten about the pot. The group had long disappeared and now the people who remained on the ground, suddenly noticed the pot, as they went about their daily routines.

The people could not see where the fire was located, all they saw was an aluminium pot heating up. From down below, the aluminium pot looked the size of a domestic pot. None could see that the pot had grown into a giant size.

OTHERS MAY, YOU CANNOT - G. D. Watson

If God has called you to be truly like Jesus in all your spirit, He will draw you into a life of crucifixion and humility. He will put on you such demands of obedience that you will not be allowed to follow other Christians. In many ways, He seems to let other good people do things which He will not let you do.

Others who seem to be very religious and useful may push themselves, pull wires, and scheme to carry out their plans, but you cannot. If you attempt it, you will meet with such failure and rebuke from the Lord as to make you sorely penitent.

Others can brag about themselves, their work, their successes, their writings, but the Holy Spirit will not allow you to do any such thing. If you begin to do so, He will lead you into some deep mortification that will make you despise yourself and all your good works.

Others will be allowed to succeed in making great sums of money, or having a legacy left to them, or in having luxuries, but God may supply you only on a day-to-day basis, because He wants you to have something far better than gold, a helpless dependence on Him and His unseen treasury.

The Lord may let others be honored and put forward while keeping you hidden in obscurity because He wants to produce some choice, fragrant fruit for His coming glory, which can only be produced in the shade.

God may let others be great, but keep you small. He will let others do a work for Him and get the credit, but He will make you work and toil without knowing how much you are doing. Then, to make your work still more precious, He will let others get the credit for the work which you have done; this to teach you the message of the Cross, humility, and something of the value of being cloaked with His nature. The Holy Spirit will put a strict watch on you, and with a jealous love rebuke you for careless words and feelings, or for wasting your time which other Christians never seem distressed over.

So make up your mind that God is an infinite Sovereign and has a right to do as He pleases with His own, and that He may not explain to you a thousand things which may puzzle your reason in His dealings with you. God will take you at your word; if you absolutely sell yourself to be His slave, He will wrap you up in a jealous love and let other people say and do many things that you cannot. Settle it forever; you are to deal directly with the Holy Spirit, He is to have the privilege of tying your tongue or chaining your hand or closing your eyes in ways which others are not dealt with. However, know this great secret of the Kingdom: When you are so completely possessed with the Living God that you are, in your secret heart, pleased and delighted over this peculiar, personal, private, jealous guardianship and management of the Holy Spirit over your life, you will have found the vestibule of heaven, the high calling of God.

DREAM of the MIGRANT WORKERS

-by Bryan Hupperts.

bryanhupperts@hotmail.com


There is a huge immigration debate in America. Our borders are overrun with illegal migrant workers who are often depicted as: aliens, uneducated, dirty, fruit pickers, field hands. These prejudicial images and stereotypes aren't pretty.

Against this backdrop, I had a detailed dream where I was standing in a sea of people before the throne of God. I saw well known ministers, invisible ministers, people who had falsely accused me, people who had justly accused me, and many people I didn't know. Weird, but everyone had a black spot on their chest. The numbers were too vast to count. I was standing pretty close to a tele-evangelist known for $1,000 suits and for boasting of many healings. I had the distinct impression he was impatiently waiting for the Lord to finish speaking to hand him a microphone!

We were all wearing name badges and (like military insignias) badges of rank. The Lord spoke to this vast group yet we each heard him as if he were only speaking to us individually, "Lay down your ministry, your vision, your promises. I have new assignments for each of you." We all assumed a promotion. Then all went dead silent while the Holy Spirit ministered to each of us. To me he spoke, "I want you to become a field hand, a migrant worker. Go pick fruit."

I was horrified. What is lower than a fruit picking migrant worker?

I burned with shame wondering what my family would think. How would we live? What about my hard won education? I have struggled with Lupus for years and cannot stand being in sunlight for long stretches of time. Such a call to work in the fields would surely kill me!

Finally, I bowed my head while weeping and said, "Thy will be done." I stripped myself of my nice suit and donned the cheap clothing of a migrant worker. I told myself that if all I am capable of doing is harvesting fruit for the Lord then I would do it with all my heart. I felt something inside of me begin to shake violently, burn and finally die.

Though he slay me, yet will I serve Him, indeed! It occurred to me much later that migrant is just another way of saying "stranger and alien".

Anyway, I looked up and saw a great separation take place. I realized that the Lord had whispered this exact same calling to everyone there. We were all being called to be migrant fruit pickers. This vast company were all ministers of the Gospel. The hard shock was that the great majority of those standing there heard this call to go be migrant laborers and had said, "No."

I could hear the angry complaints: I built this church. I am too important . This ministry cannot survive without my leadership. If these fruit picking fools actually succeed, send the tithers to my church. and on and on. I could see sheep being culled from goats. It was like watching the birth of Gideon's Army. Our ranks were greatly thinned and we were an unimpressive, motley lot. There was not a name tag, title, or rank insignia to be seen.

So there we were in our migrant worker clothes like people you would glance at and turn away from uncomfortably pretending that you did not see them. I noticed we all had a dark hole burned in our chests where the black spot had been and someone called out and asked about it. The Lord of the Harvest replied, "That thing that burned and died in each of you was your blinding pride." And he breathed on us and the hole was filled with a kind of liquid light, His abiding Presence and glory!

I thought, "Oh, you cannot fill that which is full. You can only fill a vessel that has been first emptied." I looked back at the great company of ministers who had disqualified themselves from their true callings and was suddenly glad to be in ragged clothes and holy company. The black marks on their chests were like a plague infection that suddenly began to ooze and spread. I thought, "They're dead already and they don't even know it."

God is looking for those who will faithfully laborer for him to bring in the great harvest of souls that the seed of His blood had spilled into the earth to bring forth. Faithful Labor: There is no other qualification.

The Lord told us, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. Go forth. Be fruitful and multiply my Kingdom!"

As our company marched off into the harvest field to be inglorious, nameless field hands, I could hear those left behind sneering in contempt, shouting out catcalls about what fools were all were. They seemed oblivious that the Lord of the Harvest was standing in their midst watching, listening, weighing their every word. And his eyes burned with holy fire.

As a man with Lupus, I have to be very careful about where I go, what I eat, how long I am outside. Sunlight can kill people like me. I often get accused of being a hypochondriac because my symptoms change like the tide and I was ill for years before I got the correct diagnosis....

Anyway, in my dream, I realized I was - surprise! - standing with a few who had harshly judged me and realized that I had, in anger, turned around and done the exact same thing to them! I repented deeply. As I stepped into the harvest field and felt the sun beating down on me, I realized I had just joyously accepted a death sentence. I suddenly felt a surge of healing power flood through me and I was instantly made whole! Funny, but the power did its work and then stayed pulsating in my hands.

Rev. no, Evange. no, Pasto. no,

Just a happy fruit picker,

Twisted Clergy, Deception and Abortion
By: Bill Muehlenberg

EXCERPT
Let me mention just one example (of many). I was recently informed of a certain Rev. Katherine Hancock Ragsdale, an Episcopal priest who seems quite representative of her denomination. Her website features sermons on “gay pride” and all the usual trendy topics this ultra-liberal denomination is into.

It seems that last year she delivered a sermon on the “blessings of abortion”. Yes you heard me right. This religious leader told her congregation that abortion is a great blessing from God and we must continue to work for abortion.

NEW PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
Written by a 15 yr. old School Kid in Ohio :

Since the Pledge of Allegiance & The Lords Prayer

Are not allowed in Schools anymore

Because the word 'God' is mentioned...

A Kid in Ohio wrote the attached...

.

NEW School prayer :

Now I sit me down in school

Where praying is against the rule

For this great nation under God

Finds mention of Him very odd.

.

If Scripture now the class recites,

It violates the Bill of Rights.

And anytime my head I bow

Becomes a Federal matter now.

.

Our hair can be purple, orange or green,

That's no offense; it's a freedom scene.

The law is specific, the law is precise..

Prayers spoken aloud are a serious vice.

.

For praying in a public hall

Might offend someone with no faith at all.

In silence alone we must meditate,

God's name is prohibited by the state.

.

We're allowed to cuss and dress like freaks,

And pierce our noses, tongues and cheeks..

They've outlawed guns, but FIRST the Bible.

To quote the Good Book makes me liable.

.

We can elect a pregnant Senior Queen,

And the 'unwed daddy,' our Senior King.

It's 'inappropriate' to teach right from wrong,

We're taught that such 'judgments' do not belong.

.

We can get our condoms and birth controls,

Study witchcraft, vampires and totem poles.

But the Ten Commandments are not allowed,

No word of God must reach this crowd.

.

It's scary here I must confess,

When chaos reigns the school's a mess.

So, Lord, this silent plea I make:

Should I be shot;

My soul please take!

Amen

.


If you aren't ashamed to do this,

Please pass this on.

Jesus said,

'If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.'

Not ashamed. Pass this on.
