He Hideth My Soul In the Cleft of the Rock

 Spiritual warfare: Are You Ready? 

Lately spiritual warfare has seemingly increased in my life [perhaps some of you as well] and my family also, and just to share a few, for your own evaluation, consider these things: [all during 4 yr period moving here... I know God moved me here and I love my house, community, and this rural area] Also Christina had a warning dream [added at the end] that prepared us, warned us!

Isaiah 43:2 KJV — When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

• I've had three stoves, 1-came with house, [electrical fire in oven burnt a hole inside bottom back of metal oven wall] 2 were brand new Samsung, purchased 1.5 yrs apart.  #1 glass top had a gouge of glass out of one back burner, not covered by warrantee, cost to repair was high. #2 is five months old and oven keeps shutting off saying "bad line". Power checked 3 times by professionals and outlet is good. 
• My icemaker broke and had to be replaced at cost of $400
• My favorite dog, a border collie: Hannah, had terrible seizures even on meds under Vet care and died from one that lasted an hour that killed her, broke my heart. 
• All grass died, disappeared from my back yard and now it's a barren waste land of slimy mud.
• My washer and dryer both broke same time and had to be repaired
• Hot water heater had to be replaced.
• Dishwasher had to be replaced.
• Pipes busted, flooded during sub temps, Christmas eve
• My house had, suddenly an infestation of hundreds of mice eating everything and Orkin came and got rid of them at cost of $6000l
• My Honda CR-V had to have brakes, all 4 at cost of $1000. Ouch!

Sometimes I feel like Job but... The Lord has kept me safe, provided for me, and kept me in perfect peace as my mind was stayed upon Him and in all instances it was as if I was not even going through these firey trials. Also for past two and half years the Lord has had me walk early morning and intercede for the Body of Christ as if I am the only one offering up prayers for Him to work with, so since 2016 I have done this each day, but when I moved here to Temple, GA I started walking first light with Him, doing a prayer walk [doing a spiritual recharge]. In two and a half years I have only missed three days, two, it was icy and I couldn't get out of my driveway or streets as they were solid ice. I prayed inside, and one Elena my daughter, here with me prayed: "God if you love me let it rain hard and long... He did. 

Today while Nanci and I were praying about all the spiritual warfare we were all going through, and Nanci was praying, the Lord showed me a vision, and it reminded me of a song, these lyrics: "He hideth my soul in the cliff of the rock and He covered me there with his hand".  I saw a vision of the Lord with His hand covering a cleft in the rock and us in there. I was reminded of Moses asking to see God's glory...

Exodus 33:18¶And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.

19¶And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.

20 And he said, "Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live."

21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:

22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

I felt the ones that are in an intimate relationship with Him, those "Phillidelphian church of brotherly love" will be the ones in the cleft of the rock and when His glory begins to manifest and appear, those in the cleft of the rock covered by His hand will be safe, but those outside will not be able to withstand His presence or manifested glory. There will be a separation, and this will expose those that are His and those who are not as they will not be able to withstand this manifestation of His glory.

Also Sunday after church the Lord showed me a different perspective of Daniel and the three Hebrews the King threw into a furnace, seven times hotter and it killed the three men who threw them into the furnace... for not bowing before the golden statue.  The Lord showed me this was His Shekinah glory like Moses and Israel witnessed in wilderness, and Moses alone could handle that presence. The King saw a fourth man in the furnace, like unto the Son of God. That glory struck the three men dead that tossed them in but the Hebrews survived! 

The Lord revealed to me this is the way things will begin to manifest before our removal. God's glory will begin to manifest to everyone. [Isn't it interesting that the king recognized the other man "like unto the Son of God", and not an angel... how? Must have been the manifested glory of God!]

Christina's Dream [a warning from the Lord]

Elena and I were in what looked like a hotel with a lot of other people. I saw with Elena a lot of demons (not clear but I knew they were there) and one other "being" that was different and more defined than the other "lowly" demons. He stayed right next to Elena all the time. I rebuked them all in the name of Jesus and with the blood of the Lamb and as they left they blew up the stove on their way out in anger. Later, I was in bed and they were back and I rebuked them again in the same way and they left again but one of them came and attacked me this time and I started to make a growling sound and I said through the growl "GET OUT!" and it left. Then I was out in front of the building and the main guy that hung around Elena said to me, "You know they'll just keep coming back." I KNEW we were going to win and I knew he didn't know what I knew. We were going to do a 3 day fast and we were going to be successful.

Dream in 1990: Soldier Attack

1990 Dream: Military takeover [Marshall law?]

(Time was approximately when my girls were in elementary school – Christina was around 9 years old).

I dreamt I was at work and about to go to lunch and as I stepped outside I saw strange soldiers (not American) coming down the street, marching in such a way – as if they were on an urgent quest. They looked angry or very serious about their mission! I heard the Lord tell me to go get my girls – quickly! I started running down the street to the building where the girls were, but somehow I knew I would be entering the building under great risk – my life was in great danger and if I were discovered, I would be killed. I also knew the soldiers were on their way and very near. I felt the Lord tell me to just go into the building and trust Him – He would be there to “cover” me. I ran into the building and as I was running, I passed an area with glass windows, sort of like a hospital newborn nursery, with windows all in front – you could see lots of women working in there, preparing some type of food for people, like a school cafeteria. The food, I remember, was weird stuff – unrecognizable but I remember thinking, “They cannot see me”! I remember running down the hallway looking for my girls and I passed people but they did not see me either – it was as if I was invisible!  

I remember passing an area, again, that was like a shopping mall store window display, but there was nothing in the store window except two beauty parlor chairs and Christina and Elena were in the two chairs with covers over them, getting a “makeover”, but I felt the makeover was not physical but spiritual. I felt like the Lord was trying to warn me that I had to spiritually prepare my children because the world was going to change and brainwashing was going to begin among our children – we had to give them a firm foundation so they would not – could not, be brainwashed!
