Tornado.

Two nights ago, in the moment between complete sleep and being delirious, I saw something.  There was a vast plain and in the near distance, about a mile, there was a huge tornado.  A small family frantically prepared for the tornado to come, yet there was no fear.  There was almost this inner good anxiousness expressing, "It's coming! It's coming!"

Before a tornado touches down there is usually a tornado warning which means the conditions are right for it to form.  God gave a great Book of His warning system. According to the times we live in, and because His warning is already in place, we are to expect it to come.  Usually when a real tornado touches down there is little warning as to where and when it will come, but those who have prepared are in greater peace then those who have not. 

Immediately I felt that we needed to prepare for the things that we do not see.  The things we do not see are already coming and in part, are already here.  I feel the Lord is saying that there is an expectation which draw it closer.  It is a great and glorious thing but just like a tornado, disastrous.  Those who are in the Lord will remain in perfect peace through the storms.  Calamity is the avalanche for the Lord's outpouring.

"You will keep in perfect peace those whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in You." Isaiah 26:3

The Fireplace

I saw a large flame. It was a collection of smaller flames. Then I saw these flames contained in the fireplace. The fireplace was restricting the flames from growing.

I felt this fireplace represented us, our will and our flesh, and the flame, the Sprit in us. Oh flesh, oh soul submit to the life of this Flame, Your Spirit. How strong our fire place is, built to last in the world, summoned to be a protector but instead being a prisoner to the Spirit.
