The Vision

Hurt. There is so much grief around me right now sometimes it gets difficult. It’s a storm for many people. It is not just a little rainstorm but a down pour; one that is truly taking people’s lives.  This has been very challenging to watch. I hate seeing people I love hurting.  Circumstances lately have cut me to the core. So much so, I don’t know how to pray about it. Praise God that the Holy Spirit intercedes for us.

I was crying before the Lord one day when He showed me a vision; I was in a place like the Antarctic. It was icy everywhere and my friends and close families were standing on the ice and it was breaking and dropping them into the freezing water. I cried out saying “Help, Lord I don’t feel safe!” God heard my cries and showed me that although I thought I was standing on the ice as well, I was actually standing on Rock. He told me that I was safe because my foundation was built on him and that I was to pull people out of the water and bring them up onto the Rock; Jesus of course.  Matthew 7 tells us that a man who builds on the rock will be the only ones standing when the storm comes.  He showed me that the ONLY FOUNDATION THAT WILL STAND IS HIM. That’s it. Sadly, it’s easy to build foundations on things we think will hold us, our job, our spouse, ect. But everything except Jesus can fall.  He also showed me that I have to make sure I am grounded with Jesus to be any help to anyone. If I am also standing on ice it does no good to grab someone just to take them down with me.  I have to have Him as a firm foundation.

This storm has brought up hurt and fear in me but God has reminded me where I stand. He loves me so much and as long as I cling to him, my foundation won’t crumble.  The circumstances haven’t gotten any better. In some cases probably worse but I am going to keep grabbing people and pulling them onto the Rock, pointing them to Jesus!
