Wounded Victors

Posted on Friday 6 March 2009 by Allen

Originally given to me on Feb 16 2009:

I see men (specifically from Destiny Church, St. Louis) being empowered with authority in unity. They are taking back ground that the enemy has been claiming as his. I see families restored, marriages mended, father’s and sons coming together in healed relationships , minds being restored and renewed in Christ Jesus. New men moving in power, love , compassion…..breaking chains of bondage that have plagued generations within their families.

I see a mighty army, slaying every spirit that would exalt itself against the knowledge of God. Wounded men healed to a much greater strength. With strong conviction and passion to see justice prevail. Holiness…Holiness…Holiness unto the Lord. True worshippers of God with clean hands and pure heart ascending unto the hill of the Lord before the King of Glory, the Lord of Hosts in complete victory in Jesus, Our Lord (Psalm 24).

Look Forward

Many times I go to the woods behind my house to get away alone with God. I listen for his voice and signs of his presence all around in his creation. Today, the Lord gave me a vision of myself standing in that woods. As I stood, I saw above me, in the sky, two streams of light converging in a v-shape towards me. One from the right and another from the left. The left was a dark light and the right a very white light. Within the streams of light I could see rapid movement. The two lights collided at the convergence point (which was me) and there seemed to be a commotion or some sort of fight taking place. I saw the white light was wrapped around me as if embracing me. It appeared to have a head that spoke into my ears. The white light engulfed my whole body except for the my head. This is where the dark light had an entry point. It was the only area the dark light was able to penetrate. I stood looking dumbfounded with a trance like expression not knowing what to think. I seemed paralyzed. From the white light, the shape of a head continued to gently speak into my ears. Yet, at the same time, the dark light continued, in what seemed like a very frantic pace, to pour into my head. However, the white light still wrapped itself around the rest of my body embracing me tightly and continuing to speak into my ears. The head of this light floated from one ear to the other ear constantly whispering words into them. I still stood in a trance like state, frozen in place.

Next, I could see what looked like a dark intimidating face screaming at me. I don’t exactly know what it was saying, but I had a sense that it wasn’t nice. It appeared right before my face. My gaze was fixed upon it not knowing what to think or say or do. Suddenly, it came to me to say to this being, “Get behind me satan”. At once, the figure started to move to my right and to the rear of me. Simultaneously, a very bright white light begin to move into its place. I looked into the light and heard it say, “Look to me, look forward! Fix your gaze upon me! Do not look behind you. Satan has obeyed. He is behind you just as you commanded him. But if you look behind, you will see him and he will have legal right to entertain your thoughts and move to block your view of me. Do not look backward, look forward. I am forward. Look forward! Do not give him any opportunity. Look to me! Forward! I am forward. Look and see me.”

Lord I pray that I would put my hand to the plow and go forward. Let me not entertain any thoughts of past failures or dissappointments. I close all doors to the enemy to come in and disrupt your plans for me. I believe the plans you have for me of prosperity and hope in You alone. I fix my gaze upon You Lord Jesus and you alone. Let your light be the guide to my path. Amen.

Trees

Posted on Thursday 21 February 2008 by Allen

On Tuesday, the 19th of Feb, at Kent and Carla Henry’s prophetic class, while worshipping, this is what I saw.

All I saw were tree branches, bare tree branches like in the woods. Snow and ice covered them. They were lifeless. I felt myself in the woods along with others, but I could not see bodily forms, yet I could feel and somewhat see motions within the branches as if they were human forms without a body. I tried looking at my hands and arms, however all I saw were branches moving in the form of an arm and as my hand. Initially, all I saw were branches but no tree trunks. But as I looked around I became aware that I had been viewing from high atop the trees and as I looked down I could see the whole tree. I was a tree and so were these others.

We, as trees, began to sway as if music were being played. We appeared to be lifting our branches in praise. A light wind was blowing causing more swaying motion. The more we sang and praise, the stronger the wind blew yet it didn’t cause any damage as it seemed to move around and through us. While this scene continued, the atmosphere around us began to change. It became warmer. Not that I could feel the temperature, but signs of a warmer atmosphere began to appear. The snow and ice melted from our branches. Our branches began to bloom with leaves, flower and fruit. Water began to flow between us.

The more we sang, the more we grew and matured. Our trunks and bark grew thicker and our branches became strong limbs. The water that flowed between us became a river that flowed with a strong current. As our singing continued, the wind blew through us not so hard now but as a light breeze gently blowing through our leaves and branches as if it were tenderly caressing us.

I then noticed a man walking in the woods. I really can’t give a description of what he looked like but I did know He was the Lord Jesus. He seemed to just like walking there and hanging out. Next, I heard these words in my spirit, “This is good. I like it here”.

Blood and Water

Posted on Sunday 17 February 2008 by Allen

Above the earth in the heavens, I saw a man rip open his chest and simultaneously cry out with a tremendous roar. When his chest opened his heart literally burst open and spewed forth huge amounts of blood that splattered over the entire earth. Gushing forth, the blood created deep rivers that flowed through cities through the streets, the alley ways, over the farm lands, covering homes, flooding entire cities. Some areas where covered in a sea of blood and water, yes, water too. It seemed as if this blood fell into the waters of the earth filling them to overflow causing a rushing current of blood and water everywhere.

This caused great fear and panic in many. Some ran into their homes hiding themselves in closets in darkness and fear rather than face what seemed to be imminent death by the blood and water. Others fled to higher ground thinking that the waters would soon recede therefore they would be safe, thinking if necessary they could stay there indefinitely if need be. Even others were on house and building rooftops, inside skyscrapers peering out of windows in shock and amazement wondering what to do. As some of the people watched the blood and water flow by they seemed to be drawn in and would suddenly jump into the current. It appeared that the ones who peered into the river and watched it flow would somehow see something in it. The blood and water seem to engage them. If they touched the blood and water, it seemed they could not resist the urge to go into it. Many where immediately washed away, however, it didn’t seem to be a bad thing for them. They had great joy and some rushed into the blood and water. You could see peace and calm on there faces as they just seemed to float through the river riding the current to whatever destination was in store for them. Others became totally immersed and disappeared below the waters.

As I continued to see, I saw the blood and water appear to flow into a mountain or base of some foundation that reached to the skies. Atop the foundation was a gleaming, glowing city of light. It was high up above the earth. I couldn’t see the details of the city, but I could see the outline of the structures. As the blood and water reached the base below the city, the blood and water began to steam with little crystal light like formations rising from it. The little crystals of light began to rise from the base up to the city. At first, just a few but then many crystals of light rushed up to the city. Upon further observation as I was given a closer view of the crystals, I saw that the crystals seem to move as if something living was inside each crystal. As I was given an even closer view I could see that the crystals were actually people. These people seemed to glow with light from inside that caused them to sparkle and glow with a very pure white light. They actually looked as if they were entirely composed of light. Their faces where filled with much joy as they seem to run yet at the same time float up to this magnificent glowing city of light.

I realized that these were the people who had been in the river of blood and water.

End of vision

The Stadium & the Treasure

Posted on Wednesday 22 February 2006 by Allen

This is a vision from February 22, 2006… God gave it to me. I used to get these visions while praying, and I was praying and once again I was pouring out my heart thinking and saying “I need You, Lord! I can’t turn to anything else.” So I’m praying and during that process some time has passed, and this is the way it usually happens – the thoughts just start to come and it flows and I just let it come. Sometimes it comes in pieces and then it finally comes together – I’m just going to give you an explanation of what happens sometimes with these visions – sometimes I have to let go and let it flow. Sometimes I stop the flow and I’m like “no no no no no that’s just my head!” – I can’t separate whether it’s from God or me, but I can figure it out when I stop and I don’t allow it to flow, but when I just let it go it tends to just come. I just say “ok Lord, if You’ve got something let it come” and then it just starts to come.

But anyway, this is what happened, I saw what appeared to be a little child in what looked like an expanse of space in the heavens. It resembled when you see someone in a stadium singing the national anthem standing in the middle by themselves and there’s a crowd round about in the stadium observing. It seemed as if angels were there in the stadium and I was in the middle of it but in the front portion… in front of me was a presence I could feel; I believe it was God. And the Lord was there… it was an intense flow. But His presence was also all over the place too but it was at the same time concentrated in that one area.

I was singing – I knew it was me looking and feeling like a little child. It was a haunting tune. I felt complete dependence on God, feeling my heart cry out, “Help me God!” and “Praise You!” I don’t even know what I was saying it was in another tongue but I could feel my spirit pouring out to Him, “God I need You and You’re the only One who can help me!” Also a singing angel chorus accompanied me. The angels would join in with me – where I would sing a part, step back and they would sing the chorus and then I would sing my solo and they would sing the chorus. It was as though they were worshipping and I was worshipping with them …. as though they were helping me to communicate to the Lord. It seemed I was giving my plea and they were right there saying, “Lord, help him!” and they were singing with me assisting me before the Lord. It was a powerful!

So, as I was singing a door opened up. It was just like a door within… imagine if you were outside and you saw a door open within that area you occupying – that expanse – a door just opened to my right and you could see a glow coming from the door.

All of this communication went on – not really speaking – more as if we felt each other’s thoughts. And I could sense God say… or let me correct that, I asked Him, I said, “What? Do You want me to go through the door?” And I could sense God say, “Yes, go ahead.” It was odd I don’t know how to explain it. Anyway, He said, “Go through the door. That door, I opened it for you.”

So, I went through the door, and as I peeked in – It looked like a treasure chest. It seemed as if a ship had sank and spilled its treasure – gold and all kinda things. I was just amazed and asked “what is this? Is this for me?” And God said, “Yes.” He said, “Go ahead.” He was like a Father, and He came down from the throne – and I took His hand – and He led me in to the room.

He took me inside and I was a little kid holding His hand looking up to Him thinking, “This is for me??” But I was overwhelmed, I thought “What do You want me to do with all this? I don’t need all of this. Why would You give me all of this? If You’re gonna give this to me You will have to help me because I don’t know what to do with all of this!”

He was like a kind Father saying to me, “I’ll help you. Don’t worry.” I thought, “Man, please! Cause I don’t know what to do with all this!” I was panicking saying, “Don’t give all this to me! I don’t know what to do with it! Just give me a little bit and let me be ok.”

As we were having this exchange, a happy little girl comes skipping into the room. She was just skipping and singing, “la da da da da da.” Suddenly, she sees the treasure, runs diving into it wallowing in it yelling, “OH YES!” She just sinks in to it and is so happy screaming, “Look! Just look at all of this! Look! Look at all of this!”

I turn to the Lord saying, “Let me get her!” And I grab her and tell her, “Look look look – calm down!” And at that time I realize that the little girl is Meghan. I continue to tell her,”calm down! calm down! God has given us this but He’s… we’ve gotta be responsible. We’ve gotta be good stewards of this. And I’m trying to find out what He wants us to do with this – so I can do this right and we won’t mess up with it – this treasure He’s given us. Because I don’t want Him to give us this and we just blow it.”

So, I tell Him, “You’re gonna have to help me Lord.” The Lord tells me, “Yes, I’m giving you this but it’s going to be your responsibility.” Which He pointed to me “it’s going be your responsibility to make sure that it’s well taken care of, that you do what you’re supposed to do with it.”

Then He looked at Meghan (but still speaking to me) “You’re going to have to sometimes reign her in. You’re going to be in charge of this.” I answered, “Ok, I can do this.” Meghan was willing to go “ok that’s fine with me, I’m going to trust whatever you say do” because she could see that I would be getting my instructions from the Lord and she was in full agreement, “that’s ok – that’s ok – just tell me what to do! Tell me what we’re gonna do! Just come on let’s do this! Come on, come on!” She was just so excited… I knew it was Meghan, she’s always excited… that’s just her. I should have known that from the beginning. She stood there so excited and the vision ended.

Ok there you go.

Diving in the Blood

Posted on Tuesday 21 February 2006 by Allen

The vision began as I was pouring my heart out to Jesus asking Him for his help. I was feeling at my wits end and I didn’t know what else to do but just cry out to Him. And as I cried out – it was intense – I was also looking at my bible in the book of Philipians 4:4-6:

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

The portions that stood out to me were rejoicing, the Lord being near, and not to be anxious for anything.

So then I saw myself crawling on my hands and knees towards the cross and Jesus was there, but I could only see the bottom half – I could only see His feet. I could see the nail through His feet and the blood, and I went and I crawled and I was crying… I was weak – I could barely crawl, almost beaten down.

And I began to pull myself up the cross and grabbed His foot and hung onto it and was like, “Lord, help me!” I was like ‘You always say bring it to the cross – well, I’m at the cross!’ And His hand came down – He extended His hand toward me and at that point He came down off the cross, but as all this is taking place His blood is showering down – it’s almost like raining.

So He came down off the cross and is standing beside me and there’s a lake of blood up to my waist. Jesus is standing beside me, but He’s not saying anything – He’s just there.

And I’m taking my head and dipping it in the blood – almost as if to cleanse my mind from thoughts that I can’t control that are coming. I keep dipping my head in the blood, but it seems as if my head was almost like it was waterproof where water rolls off of it – like that except it was blood-proof.

I could see on the other side of the blood standing on the edge of it - but not in the blood – was satan (or at least I believe it was satan), it was evil. He was laughing at me and was calling me names. Like saying, “You’re stupid! You must be some kind of idiot to stand off in that blood and dip your head in it. Do you know you look like a fool!” I wasn’t about to listen to him.

I looked to Jesus and I said, “what am I doing wrong? I’m missing something here. Lord won’t you help me?” But it was like He was looking at me as though I knew the answer – He wasn’t saying anything He was just letting me go through this process of figuring out what I was doing wrong. He wasn’t going to help me.

I looked at Him and said, “I’m no fool. I’m not getting out of this blood. I know I’m in the right place, but something is not right. I’m not doing something right.”

And I started to get really frustrated because I’m thinking, “I’m in the blood – I’m dipping my head in it trying to clean myself!”

And then it hit me. If you’re going to be in the blood – get in it.

And I just thought, “I don’t care anymore – this is not working with my head dipping in and out of the blood, I’m just going to dive in and I’m going to stay under. And if I drown in Your blood – that can’t be so bad! I’ll just drown in it because I know I can’t survive outside of it. And that guy over there has nothing good for me. He’s laughing and making fun of me, but I know if I give up, he is going to eat me alive!”

So I dove into the blood and went underneath. And I intended to stay under it until I was clear and felt like everything was alright. But as I dove underneath it, I could see! When I dove under the blood, everything was clear – it wasn’t like it was red in there – it was clear I could see. I could also breath. And my thoughts were clear.

At that point I could hear Jesus say, “See? See I got your back.” And He said just like He was one of my friends long ago when we used to hang out.

“I got your back! You don’t have to worry about a thing. As a matter of fact, I don’t have just your back, I have your front, I have your side, I got your bottom, I got your top – I got you covered! I got you covered. You got that? Trust me. Trust me!”

And then I got it. I have to stay under His covering. His covering is His blood. I have to stay in that blood and under it and it has to be all over me. I got it and it was like, “OH! I see!”

I could feel Him smile at me, and that was it.
