“The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness” Matthew 13:41
The Thunderous Riders
While worshipping on the guitar, a deep thunderous sound comes forth that reminds me of the sound of many horses galloping. Putting my guitar back in its stand, I sit with my journal and instantly see myself walking down the path leading to the River. Suddenly, the ground beneath me begins to shake, and though I understand it’s not an earthquake, it’s still startling! The ground feels the way rolling thunder sounds, and I am not the only one startled; the whole forest is on high alert! In the clearing near the River’s bend, a troop of seven riders on horses suddenly appears and quickly brings their spirited mounts to a halt! They form a tight circle where their Captain awaits them on His white horse. The riders are there to receive orders and seem eager to put them into action.
Captain of the Heavenly Hosts
I recognize the Captain to be Jesus, Yeshua the Messiah. His majesty is bright and glorious; His splendor is everlasting. I see “KING OF KINGS” and “LORD OF LORDS” written on a banner draped down the side His of leg.[1] The material seems to cascade like a waterfall, and other names of God appear and disappear on it as it moves. They are names that I know well and bring me great comfort.[2] Amongst them I see “Savior,” “Deliverer,” “Healer,” “Shepherd,” and “Friend;” however, there is an unfamiliar name written in a language I don’t know.[3]
The Fear of the Lord
Yeshua turns and directs His gaze at me. At first, I am thrilled that He looks my direction until I see His face. The Lord’s appearance is shocking; His eyes are as fierce as a lion’s and in them, I see blood and fire.[4] Even though He isn’t angry with me, terror strikes my heart! The sound and sight of the thunderous riders has already deeply shaken me, so seeing the ferocity in my soon-coming King’s eyes causes my physical strength to fail me.
Even though I have experienced God’s love, and know there is no need to be frightened, I shake and cry like a terrified child. Unable to continue, I call out for help. The Holy Spirit infuses peace into my soul and strengthens me to write.
Commissioning the Riders and their Mounts
I look again and observe the Lord addressing His troops in a language unknown to me. The riders are attentive to His every word, and while I don’t know the exact strategies He is giving them, their demeanor tells me that what He is planning is imminent.[5] The Captain finishes His general briefing and then gives each one of the riders their specific orders.
What happens next is extraordinary, and I marvel as I watch it unfold. A sword comes out of Yeshua’s mouth, flies up into the air, spins end over end, and the intended rider catches it firmly in his hand! Each rider receives a sword in like manner. The weapons are unique, exquisite, and skillfully forged. Their sharp metal blades shine like rays of sunshine, and the crossguard on each handle has a unique design containing inlaid precious metals and jewels. These swords symbolically testify of the rider’s calling, history, and commitment to the King of glory.
Once each rider has received a sword, the circle tightens, and the horses bow their heads. Yeshua guides His horse’s head to touch the head of the horse to its right and then to its left. Those horses then turn and touch the horse next to it and so on around the circle. It would seem the Lord is giving them one mind for what lies ahead.
Seeking Interpretation
I ask, “Father, what does this mean?” His reply is firm and immediate. “You are seeing the gathering of the troops of heaven. This is not a natural army, as I do not do things the way mankind does. My ways are holy and right. We will bring permanent change in the earth.[6] The shakings have started.[7] At no time in mankind’s history has the earth shaken as it is doing in these days. It is in labor, crying out in pain.[8] I’m birthing something new and few will truly understand.[9] Some will even try to rebuke it.”[10]
Unexpectedly, He states, “We are finished here for the day.” Shocked, I protest, “But what about the troops?” The Lord answers with an uncharacteristically sharp reply, “What about them?”[11] Confused, I ask Him, “Isn’t there anything else You want me to write?”
Jesus fixes His gaze upon me to see if I have the faith to receive what He is about to say.[12] Evidently, He sees that I do, even though I have no idea of the seriousness of this moment. Yeshua delivers this meaty message with boldness, coupled with a spirit of love and mercy, and His words are direct and clear.
An Urgent Warning from the Lord to the Church
“Everything is already written and can clearly be read in the Holy Scriptures for those willing to see.[13] My people are lazy and want to be spoon-fed.[14] They want others to explain every scripture to them when I have made it clear they are to be workmen who can rightly divide the word of truth.[15] I Am the Teacher.[16] My Holy Spirit teaches what My word says and means.[17] My people perish for lack of knowledge.[18] They constantly engage in worldly and empty chatter that leads to ungodly pursuits.[19] Is it not written that foolish and ignorant speculations lead to arguing? My beloved has gone astray. My Church is filled with quarreling children who all want to be right while the lost look on and shake their heads. My people are called to be patient and kind to all, able to teach, and quick to forgive.”[20]
I stop and take a deep breath, thinking about what the Lord is saying to me. With the advent of social media, this issue has escalated to dangerous levels. As in the days when Jesus walked the earth, the Lord is most upset with those who should know better but instead lead people astray through vain imaginations and folly.
Drink from My Cup
He continues to reveal His heart in the matter, “Many who are called by My name are lukewarm at best.[21] They eat the bread that they want but spit out what I desire to feed them.[22] Though I have said there would be trouble in this world, many pray merely for Me to release them from it.[23] Few pray for MY WILL to be done in their lives; instead, they want Me to grant that their will is done. Few will drink from My cup or are willing to be baptized in the baptism of My suffering.[24] It is written, all who desire to live godly lives will suffer persecution.[25] My own fail to see the day and hour as one to be seized in My name. Even though My word states there will be an eternal reward for following Me, they fear retribution and loss of property.[26]
“My prophets refuse to rebuke and reprove with My grace, while hired hands invoke My name to beat and fleece My sheep.[27] This should not be so! Reproof and rebuke is never for the sake of shaming, reaping ill-gotten gains, or controlling people. Correction is for the purpose of giving hope and leading mankind to the truth of My love poured out for them.[28] As a result, My Church will be lifted and built up. You must root up and tear down ONLY for the purpose of BUILDING My kingdom – not man’s.”[29] ~End Encounter
Reflections:
This vision speaks of the urgency of the days we live in and the admonishment from the Lord not to be lazy believers. It is time to rightly divide the word of truth and sharpen our ability to discern a lie from the truth. We see daily where the line between right and wrong is being blurred, and need to be careful not to use the grace of God as an excuse to disobey His commands. We need to be gentle as doves yet alert and watchful for ‘wolves.’[30] Instead of looking for ways to comfort our flesh, we are to pick up our cross and follow Jesus daily. Let’s not consult ourselves about what offends us, but ask God what is causing us to stumble in His sight. It is time for the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, and teachers to equip the saints for the work of the ministry; it is time for all believers to realize God expects us all to be His ambassadors of reconciliation to those around us.[31] I pray that we will be people willing to do what the Lord asks of us, not out of a sense of duty, but out of a profound love and trust of Jesus – Yeshua our Messiah and King!
Concerning the appearance of Jesus, one time I asked the Lord why He doesn’t reveal Himself more as He really is. He answered, “If you saw Me as I Am, it would continually overwhelm you, and we wouldn’t get anything done.” He has proven this more than once! John, the Beloved, describes his reaction when seeing the Lord in the Book of Revelation saying, “I fell at His feet as dead.” He records that the Lord touched him and then instructed him to write.[32] While Jesus has revealed Himself as our Friend, He is also Mighty God, our Everlasting Father, the Lion of Judah, and the Creator of all things. Though He calls you and me His friends, I pray we remember the power and authority of the KING OF KINGS![33]
Praying about the riders in this vision, I believe they are the angels Jesus spoke of that gather the tares for the fire and the wheat for the barn.[34] He said of that day, “The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, and will cast them into the furnace of fire. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”[35]
[2] I have a special journal in which I write the names of God as I find them in Scripture. When I feel my faith waning, I will open that journal and read His names aloud. It builds my faith and trust in God, and I encourage you in this practice.
[11] The way Jesus speaks to the woman in Matthew 15:22-28 may seem harsh, but she didn’t get offended when He basically calls her a dog. (It is likely she had heard many such things from the Pharisees of the day.) After she tells Him that even dogs get to eat the crumbs, Jesus then compliments her faith and heals her daughter! This likely served as an indictment against the religious leaders to see Him have mercy on her.
And of the angels He says:
“Who makes His angels spirits, And His ministers a flame of fire.” Hebrews 1:7
Walking In the Darkness
It is very dark on the path to the River, yet I don’t stumble because my heart knows the way. There is no fear, because I know the Lord is near. My heart leaps at this revelation. Rejoicing, I jump up in the air, twirl around, and shout aloud, “The Lord is near!”[1] I observe that I am wearing a beautiful, mid-length, cobalt blue dress that twirls as I spin around. Though it may seem a small thing, the fact that my clothing is royal blue is an important clue. The Holy Spirit often uses blue in dreams and visions let us know something deeply significant is being revealed.
Jesus! Captain of the Angels
Reaching the base of the path, I see the Lord approaching. The Lord is wearing thick leather armor with a sword in its sheath. Though strong and fierce in appearance, it is also elegant and regal in its design. He’s taking long strides and there is an unusual urgency to His steps. As Jesus’ gait intensifies, the sword swings dramatically at His side in rhythm with His quickened pace. Beholding the glory and might of Jesus as the Captain of the army of heavenly hosts takes my breath away.[2] Following behind Him is a garrison of angels. I curtsey low at the sight of the King and this heavenly multitude approaching me and stay bowed. The Lord commands, “Arise, and come with Me.” I stand, take His hand, and Jesus escorts me to a place to sit, observe, and scribe as He addresses His angelic troops.
The Lord’s Orders:
Though He speaks in a language unknown to me, I understand exactly what He is saying to the angels and carefully record His words.[3] “This day marks a new day in the days of creation. Even rocks cry out for My return, but the time is not yet. Fullness must come to My own. They need time to awaken. They are sleepy as if drugged -- and drugged they are! Media has drugged them. Entertainment has drugged them. The world’s governmental issues have troubled the masses. They slumber because their hearts have grown weak from eating a continual diet of fear.[4]
“I Am sending you out in force to roust the saints of God, My chosen and elect. Call, call, call, beckon, beckon, beckon the sons of God, both male and female, to awaken to the revealing. Shake them out of their deep sleep and cause them to ARISE![5] Give heed to My orders and follow My voice. We will witness the great move you have heard of from old. Creation itself will also be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. Cause My Church, My believers, to awaken to the groaning that is deep within them for the fulfillment of their adoption as sons.[6] Tell them, ‘Your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is seen upon you!’ Yes, the light will shine brightly, even dim lights, because of the dark days that are upon the earth.”[7] Angels numbering in the thousands cheer the Lord. I jump up from my seat and cheer along with them. He is majestic; there is none like Him![8]
Instructions for the Day
One by one, the angels receive a rolled-up scroll containing their assignment from the Lord.[9] At the same time, they are dressed in attire that will allow them to move inconspicuously among the people they are sent to help. Some are in business attire while others wear uniforms or casual street clothing. After receiving their orders, each angel salutes Jesus. Every salute is unique and expresses awe, adoration, and obedience of heart to God while also conveying a private message relating to past missions in service to their Commander. Their level of respect for the KING of kings is incalculable. Jesus also takes the time to express His appreciation by returning a unique salutation in acknowledgement.
Given the multitude of angels and the sense of urgency in the Lord’s voice, one would think this extensive interaction between Jesus and each angel is taking far too much time. In an instant, I receive fresh revelation about time. God is Omnipresent: He is everywhere at once, as well as in all times. Jesus is not in a hurry because in God is the fullness of time![10] When the Lord completes His official business with the angels, these dedicated ones depart so fast, I cannot tell if they fly, run, or just disappear.
Jesus’ Heart for the Church
All the angels except mine depart. The Beloved turns to me, looks at the angel on my right and then the larger one to my left, and hands each a scroll. They acknowledge their Lord and Commander in a unique manner, just as the others had done, then move back and stand behind me. I am not allowed to see the instructions on their scrolls. Jesus then turns His gaze to me, saying, “Be excited, dear one! The days you live in are full of promises fulfilled. Many sought your day but never saw it.[11] Tell My Church to pull their hearts away from their own worldly pursuits that keep them from My Table of Blessing. They must seek My face. There they will find their daily bread and be sustained. There is where My kingdom will give them life that they may have it more abundantly! Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”[12]~End Encounter
Reflections:
The Father wants us to know that He has sent angels to help us accomplish His will on earth. I believe it is important that we each work in unison with them in this day and hour. Creation itself cries out for believers to rise up and be who they are in Christ Jesus, our Messiah and King. It was a great honor to see the interaction between the Lord and His angels! As with all these encounters, they are to edify, comfort, and encourage the Body of Christ.
There was a message given at the convocation at CityGate Atlanta with Jacquie Tyre in June 2025 that has really stuck with me. At that gathering, Stephen Johnson briefly mentioned a vision that included a horse, which is linked below. The Lord showed me a number of years ago war horses represent the true apostolic and how it operates on the earth today. This part of his message really hit my spirit, and the Lord immediately brought to mind an encounter I recorded in "Jewels from the Harvest" called, A GATHERING OF THE TROOPS (pages 56-63).
Later, I reread it and then the Holy Spirit reminded me of a chapter in "Jewels from the River" called, AWAKEN TO THE REVEALING (pages 161-165).
The Lord then said, "This is happening NOW! Post this and let the Ekklesia know what I am doing in your day."
If you do not have my books to read these 2 urgent messages, I will email you the PDFs if you write me at thefatherslove@yahoo.com. There are many encounters not only in these two books, but in the 3rd one I just published called, “Jewels from the Garden.”
(All are available on Amazon. This is not a post to push books, but these encounters are resources and encouragement for the ekklesia.)
Stephen Johnson's message starts at minute 19 and the part about the horse starts at 1:34. His was a powerful message about the church (Oikos/Family vs Ekklesia/Troops) and how we operate. (Dutch Sheets and Chuck Pierce were at the convocation too. Jacquie’s apostolic message called SHIFT is one I also HIGHLY recommend. It was a vital kick off message for the whole weekend. All those messages are available on the same YouTube channel.)
“Do you know who you are, son? Man was created in My image, and in My image, you reflect My love or lack thereof. Do your children see My love, grace, mercy, faithfulness and patience through you? Or do they see judgment, condemnation, perfectionism, apathy, and anger? Whichever is witnessed by them (and others*) is seen as a reflection of My character.
Many of you believe you are ready for My coming, but you are not ready. The hearts of the fathers MUST return to the sons. The hearts of the children to their fathers. In the days to come My promptings will become very pointed and exacting. (*exacting: requiring great care, effort, or attention.)
“This will require fathers to humble themselves under My mighty right hand. Those who obey will be lifted to new heights that will astonish even the best of them. At risk are financial blessings, healings and miracles, salvations and wholeness; and more than the mind can conceive. Many have cried out to Me for healing and financial breakthrough, but what they do not see is their relationship with their families is first on My list. Warn the men, Judy, that because they reflect My glory on earth, it is time to align their will to Mine. The hour is late! It is much later than most believe. Let it be done on earth as it is in heaven. I Am praying for the fathers. I Am praying for the parents. I Am praying for you. Reflect Me well. Be who I called you to be - representatives of My love on earth. The Old Testament ends with this strategic information and the New Testament in the Gospel of Luke begins with it. Do you see how plain I have made it? May it be done on earth as it is in heaven. Selah”
Malachi 4:5-6 Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the LORD. He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse.
Luke 1: 17 It is he who will go as a forerunner before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, TO TURN THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS BACK TO THE CHILDREN, and the disobedient to the attitude of the righteous, so as to make ready a people prepared for the Lord." [emphasis mine]
In the Father’s Love,

Arise Esther!!! The Spirit of Haman must be Stopped by Spirit of Esther!
This was the first prophetic word the Holy Spirit gave me to release publicly to the Church in 2006. I was quite terrified! In our Christian walk we should recognize that we are indeed alive, called and placed by God where we are “for such a time as this” as Queen Esther was in the Book of Esther. This was the word the Lord gave for His Body and He has asked me to rerelease it (edited). I will highlight a few points.
Jewels from Judy: Arise Esther!
“Hear O Church! Arise and walk in the spirit of Esther! Beloved, you are to look at Queen Esther's example in her dealing with Haman to know how to deal with this treachery brewing in Iran. This wicked plot to destroy Israel has come up to your Father's nostrils as a stench! How foolish is this? This leader's pride is like Haman's in the book of Esther. He is of the spirit of Haman. Does he not know that the God of Israel's chosen people are hidden everywhere - even within Iran's own top ranks? Your intercessions will bring this man's plotting to ruin! PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF JERUSALEM!
“Go to this book, Church. Esther was a type and a shadow for you to follow. You are My lovely and chosen bride. You are the one who can turn My head with your beauty and your grace. Come and ask of Me now. Purify yourselves and come into My chambers. I will make known to you how to pray. This is a love story that I gave you for instruction!
The Lord sums up the Book of Esther:
“Haman thought he was so high and so great that all should bow down to him. When My servant, Mordecai, refused to bow to him it made him furious. Haman learned Mordecai was Jewish and so he sought to kill them all because of his hatred for Mordecai. He wanted to purge the world of My people because one man refused to bow to him. So he went to the king of Persia, King Ahasuerus and received the king's permission to write letters to the entire empire stating the Jewish people were to be utterly annihilated. His empire had 127 provinces and stretched from India to Ethiopia.
“When Mordecai learned of the plot to destroy the Jews, he tore his clothes and cried out in sackcloth and ashes. He got word to Esther that even she would not be able to escape this evil. Then he relayed the famous words, “Who can say but that God has brought you in for such a time as this." The Jews all fasted and prayed for Esther to be accepted into the king's inner court so that he would intervene on their behalf. After the third day Esther put on her royal robes and in her beautiful and gracious way came to present herself to the king. The king's response to her was one of delight. Hear MY CHURCH! The king was delighted in her! He loved her and was so taken by her beauty he not only offered her his golden scepter, but also up to half his kingdom!
“Esther, in My wisdom, didn't yet speak what was in her broken-heart. She only asked the king and Haman to a banquet that she had prepared. As they enjoyed themselves, the king inquired of her petition. Her only request was for him and Haman to return the second night, and she would set another banquet before them. Haman had no clue what was awaiting him. He left that feast on top of the world.
“Then he saw Mordecai who refused to bow, and Haman's blood boiled within him. Haman was so filled with hatred that night he commissioned gallows 75 feet high to be built on which to hang Mordecai. However, the king's heart was stirred that very night and he was reminded of Mordecai's loyalty to inform the king of a plot against his life. The king sought to honor Mordecai and brought Haman in the next day to inquire what tribute should be paid to a loyal man who pleased the king. Haman smugly thought of himself - that it was he who would be honored - so he counseled the king. In every manner this man should be honored! He suggested a royal robe, a royal horse and a royal crown - all which had been used by the king! And the clincher was that one of the king's noble men was to escort him through the streets and shout before him saying, "This is what is done for the man the king delights to honor!" All this Haman said fully expecting he was to be the recipient! Then the king announced that Haman was to do ALL he had recommended, but to bestow the honor to Mordecai the Jew! Haman obeyed and did as the king commanded, but afterward he hung his head in utter humiliation and rushed to return home to hide his shame.
“Just that quickly he was summoned for the second dinner with Queen Esther where the king asked for her petition. She beseeched King Ahasuerus to spare her people from utter slaughter and annihilation. When he demanded to know who was so reprehensible to do such a thing, the Queen told him it was Haman.
“Haman was hung and died that night on the very gallows he had built for Mordecai and his 10 sons later followed him to that end. Read what is recorded in the book of Esther and pay close attention to what has been emphasized:
• 8:2 So the king took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai; and Esther appointed Mordecai over the house of Haman.
• 8:8 You yourselves write a decree concerning the Jews, as you please, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet ring; for whatever is written in the king's name and sealed with the king's signet ring no one can revoke.
• HEAR O CHURCH!!! The Lord your God is showing you something in this that needs to be applied to this Haman of Persia. Look at this carefully:
• 8:7 Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and Mordecai the Jew, "Indeed, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows because he tried to lay his hand on the Jews.
“Israel needs your prayers. Those who cry out for freedom in Persia - Iran - also need your prayers, as they are under the rule of this vile spirit. Make no mistake that this man's intention is to destroy all of Israel. That appetite for murder will not be satisfied by just destroying the one country (Mordecai). Haman's spirit is after the Jewish people wherever they may be. The decree will go out for all to be murdered wherever they may be because this spirit will not rest until it sees all Jews dead or itself is killed. Just as Mordecai warned Esther, so must My church take this warning:
• 8:13 "Do not think in your heart that you will escape in the king's palace any more than all the other Jews. For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father's house will perish.
“Make haste. Pray for the triumph of Esther and Mordecai to sweep through the Middle East. Write and declare My word over Israel. Pray for the peace of My city, Jerusalem! Write it and seal it with the signet ring that I give you. My third day has come and you may come boldly to the inner court to My Throne of Grace! The golden scepter is extended. So COME! You say to Me, "Lord, Come quickly!" But I say to you, "Esther, My Bride, My Church, COME QUICKLY!"
Scriptures to consider:
• Ephesians 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
• Matthew 5:43-45 "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust."
• 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ
• 2 Chronicles 20:14 "Listen, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem . Thus says the Lord to you: 'Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God's.
DECREE:
This decree is written this day February 11, 2006 Gregorian calendar; 13 Shevat 5766 on the Jewish calendar. This date is also known as the 27th anniversary of The Revolution of Iran. I write not on my own authority but on the authority given to me by my Father and through the blood that was shed on the Cross at Calvary by His First-born, Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ. Through His resurrection and by His Holy Spirit, He has given me the directive to make plain this decree. My credentials are listed in the Lamb's Book of Life. I am His possession and have been marked with His seal. It is His signet ring which seals this decree. The Father I speak of is the God of all creation, the Maker of the heavens and the earth. This same God, whom I call Father, has called Israel His own.
Psalms 135:4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob to be his own, Israel to be His treasured possession.
God Himself named Israel.
As it is written in Genesis 35:9-12 After Jacob returned from Paddan Aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him. God said to him, "Your name is Jacob, but you will no longer be called Jacob; your name will be Israel." So He named him Israel. And God said to him, "I am God Almighty; be fruitful and increase in number. A nation and a community of nations will come from you, and kings will come from your body. The land I gave to Abraham and Isaac I also give to you, and I will give this land to your descendants after you."
The LORD will not forsake Israel.
1 Kings 6:13 "I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel."
God does not take back His calling or His gifts.
Romans 11:29 For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
This decree is written by my hand without prejudice or malice to warn to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has openly called for Israel to be "wiped off the map," to repent for making this threat. (6/3/25 And all who followed after him who held to this axiom.)
May the global authorities which police these policies enforce them. By making this death threat against Israel and those who align themselves with her, he has placed himself in the same shoes of Haman as well as the 10 sons (nations). Repentance must be forthcoming. Haman suffered the death that he himself had devised for Mordecai. The very weapons devised against the Jewish nation of Israel will come back on President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his own house if he does not turn away from his course of action. There is time for repentance and it is NOW. Comply with global authorities and repent to the Lord of hosts for launching threats against His treasured Israel - the Apple of His eye. You are in His hands. The Lord God is faithful and just to forgive all sin and to cleanse you of all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9
Right now I launch prayers of peace over Jerusalem. I release a shield of faith over Israel. I pray for the strengthening of Michael - the great prince who stands watch over Israel - and all who are within his ranks. Israel, you who are great beloved by the Lord, see to it that your names are written in the Book of Life. Daniel 12:1
I pray for the redemption of the Persian people. Look up O People of Iran! Your Help draws near! I pray for those who are in captivity, especially the woman who have endured great torture at the hands of the wicked. I launch peace-seeking missiles into Iran! I pray for the Prince of Peace to reign in Iran. I sign this and take the signet ring given me and seal this decree now in the Mighty and powerful name above all names, Jesus.
“Write this concerning the gross darkness blanketing this rising generation: There has been unleashed upon the earth a brutal spirit of cynicism as never seen. What once would have been unheard of to speak to another out of concern for the other’s well-being is now being shouted without restraint throughout the global internet community.
“Words (spoken or written) bring life or death, correction or rebellion, encouragement or discouragement. You can cause another to stumble and live in darkness because of your words, or you can lift others up and bring the light of hope back to their eyes. Remember, you will be held accountable for every word uttered.
“This rising generation is being bombarded with words that do not edify, comfort, build or instruct. These words wound their souls beyond recognition and cause heard-heartedness; they defame and undermine one’s future and hope. Without vision my people perish and what many are listening to on a continual basis is bringing their hearts down in fear, discouragement and depression.
“The enemy of your souls is attempting to unleash a spirit of death, suicide and murder over this generation like the world has never seen. For an example, he is using the words being broadcast throughout the internet in the form of comments to unleash great harm. Many of those words are in agreement with his plans. This is why your willingness to continually release My words of life are so vital at this time.
“Those who eat at My Table of Delight will share the hope, joy, peace, compassion, edification and love that is given there! However, those who eat at the table of Continual Discontent will ingest the putrid meal of blame, contention, gossip, slander and death. They will vomit it out on everyone near them. I Am your Shield and in My presence I will keep you from being defiled.
“I have set a table before you of hope and blessings. It is served in My presence. You are not to get into agreement with what the enemy is saying, but what I AM saying! Do not clamor and say, “It is a conspiracy!” Have you not heard, “Come, let us magnify the Lord and let us exalt His name together”? Wait for Me even if it seems I Am hiding My face from you; for I shall surely move on your behalf if you wait.
“Do not be in fear of what others dread – as their food continually feeds their worst nightmares.
“Come My beloved, come and sit at My table and eat of life and light. Eat My bread and drink My wine. Fill yourself on the meat of My provision. Eat what is good and let your soul delight in abundance.
“Where you see others speaking death, you speak life. Where they speak judgment, you speak mercy. Where they speak ignorant opinions, you speak My mind in the matter and bring the word of hope I give you. (If there is not hope or life in your words, they are not from Me.) Bring the goodness of My hope and love to your conversations, and see what I do in your life in spite of the gross darkness surrounding you.
Be My salt
Be My light
Be My hands
Be My feet
Be My voice
Your Ever-present,
Abba

This morning, I was reading a post on FB that was referring to the April 8th eclipse and how the Lord reminded the writer of a word He had given him two years ago on April 8, 2022. I immediately thought that I need to check my journals to see if the Father had given me anything on that date; however, I did not have to search through my journals. The Holy Spirit instantly reminded me of the very first “Jewels from Judy” He had me write and send this both through email and snail mail. I looked it up and sure enough, I had this dream on April 8,2002!
After having this INTENSE dream, the Lord told me that if I would write it to the best of my ability, He would give me the interpretation. He also said He would do this with other dreams that I had journaled. He knew I had searched far and wide for their interpretation(s). This dream with the interpretation was not only the beginning of my writing career but was also the catalyst to The Father’s Love Int’l Ministries! I find it fascinating how the Lord’s Spirit will speak to us!
This dream has gone through several editing processes, but this is the link to the version that I shared in 2009:
Come and eat at My table of delight. Come find Me early, I will not hide from you when you seek Me. Do the things I tell you knowing they will produce the fruit you so deeply desire. I will bring understanding and revelation as you do. I will impart a great measure of wisdom but remember it must be coupled with knowledge and the fear of the Lord. Study yourself approved. Worship continually.
Rid yourself of the filthy clothes of hopelessness, self-criticism, and self-recrimination. You judge yourself through the lens of condemnation not the lens of My love and deliverance. My sacrifice was great. Pick up your cross and follow Me. The cross, as you know, is an instrument of death. The part of your flesh that needs killing is the part that questions My motives and the outcomes that do not go as you wanted or hoped for.
I asked Him, “How do I kill that in me?”
When you begin to question My motives, declare My word.
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9
“I do cause all things to work together for the good of My Kingdom, so if you are in My Kingdom, and you are, TRUST that I will cause all things to work toward your good. Have faith in My ultimate plan. I win!”
What do you think a sign from heaven would look like? Would it be a paraplegic walking or someone who is blind suddenly being able to see? Would it be finding jewels on your living room rug? Would it be a storm reversing itself or parting to miss your house?
While all these things could be signs from heaven, I find it interesting that in the story of Christ’s birth, THE SIGN from heaven was that the shepherds were going to find a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger. The sign wasn’t the angel of the Lord speaking or the host of angels appearing and singing. We’ve heard the Christmas nativity story so many times that it is easy to gloss over this remarkable SIGN from heaven. We need to think about this scene that’s recorded in Luke 2:8-20 more carefully!
Given the choice, everyone wants a clean environment for a baby’s birth. With that in mind, have you ever been to a stable or barn? They are stinky and dusty with a lot of grime and manure! A manger is basically a trough where farm animals are fed. If you’ve seen how filthy a dog’s dish can get, can you imagine the mess livestock make when eating? Yet this is the very place God chose as a SIGN of our Savior’s birth!
Something else to ponder is the social status of the shepherds. Shepherds in Christ’s time were nomadic gypsies who lived in shabby mobile tents. They didn’t have the facilities to bathe as would others who lived in a more stable environment. They were chided and looked down upon in those days. The Father chose the shepherds that society didn’t hold in high regard to be His witnesses!
Why didn’t God send the angels to reveal the “sign from heaven” to the religious, political, or other influential leaders of Jesus’s day? Why didn’t He tell them that His Holy Child had been born and would be found in a manger? Would they have believed the Messiah would be found in an animal’s feeding trough? I think not. Nevertheless, the lowly shepherds did, and they went to investigate. They found the Christ and then spread the word. All who heard it were amazed! The shepherds then returned to their fields rejoicing and glorifying God. He does choose the foolish things of the world to confound the wise! (1 Cor 1:26-31)
Our Messiah being placed in a manger at His birth is not how we would have had His life begin, but then His torturous death on the cross isn’t the ending we would have planned for our King either! Just because something is difficult and makes no sense to us doesn’t mean that God is not in the middle of it. Scripture tells us that He will never leave or forsake us, so we should ask ourselves some questions when difficult times arise. How does God plan to use a trial or test? How can we stand in faith even when we cannot see His plan? We know it is impossible to please God without faith, so we must diligently seek Him! Perhaps we show our trust and faith in Jesus most when we are in confounding circumstances – especially circumstances that seem insurmountable. This is when we must discipline ourselves to declare our trust in Him and that He will work it all together for the good of His kingdom. (Heb 11:6, 13:5, James 1:2-5; Romans 5:1-5; 8:28)
It amazes me how God uses the most unlikely things to bring about the greatest and most remarkable miracles, and He is doing this even now in ways we can’t fathom! He is doing marvelous things that we too often fail to recognize are “signs from heaven”. We must learn to trust God no matter how a situation looks to our natural eyes. He has a plan!
Glory to God in the highest indeed!!!
I pray you have a very Merry Christmas (sharing the Light and everlasting love of Christ),
and a blessed and prosperous New Year, Judy A Bauman

The Lord led me to this word I sent out a few years ago because I have heard "Prepare, Prepare, Prepare" multiple times this week. I knew I had been given earlier words concerning this command from Him. This is one of them and I pray it blesses you.
An Exhortation from the Holy Spirit about a coming move of God
“Do you sense something BIG is on the horizon? Have you been hearing for some time now that you are to ‘PREPARE’? Many are asking, ‘What are we preparing for, and how do we do that exactly?’ Every answer to every question is in My word. Scripture holds your answers. Do you want gold? Dig for it in My word! Do you want gems set in antimony? Dig for them in Scripture![i]
“Many are looking for a ‘word for the day.’ Yet after they read a devotional or prophetic word, they often go on in the same way as before they read it. They do not take to heart what I say or have already said in the past. Instead, they tend to treat these readings like daily entertainment.” (As the Holy Spirit spoke this to my heart, I saw people online reading prophetic words and then picking out only what they wanted to hear. Others were reading godly words or teachings, but then went on to consult their horoscope or other such things. I felt a terrible sense of dread because of mixture.)[ii]
“Permit Me to make something practical for you. Because it is human nature to want the ‘big thing’ and yet not have any idea how to prepare for it, use these simple instructions to guide you:
Love God with all your heart! (Don’t mix the holy with the profane and call it good, I Am a jealous God.)[iii]
Love your neighbor as yourself. (Care for others and treat them the way you like to be treated.)[iv]
Forgive and do not allow offences to rule in your members. My peace must guide you. Forgive as I forgave you.[v]
Guard your words and your heart. The mouth speaks what is hidden in the heart, so hide My word there and you will not be separated from Me.[vi]
“I will trust you with the coming ‘BIG’ if you are faithful with the current ‘small’. Good stewardship is paramount in My eyes. Think about whom to touch with My love: your family, friends, your community (in life or online), your work, school, church, marketplace, etc… It is here where you show you are faithful in what I have given you. Let My words flow from your heart – not like memorized lines in a skit, but words you understand and practice yourself. It is in doing this that you PREPARE for the BIG. It is here that you show Me that you can be trusted with what is on the horizon. If you prepare, this will be a time of great outpouring for you.
“If you do not prepare by putting My word into practice, then you will be as the one who was given a talent (a large sum of money) and buried it. He counted his master a ‘hard man’ and openly said so. He reflects the embittered soul who is full of fear and distrust and isn’t afraid to vomit his complaints onto anyone within earshot. That master took the talent away and gave it to the one who had the most. Why? Because he was unfaithful with what was given him. The wicked and worthless servant was taken and thrown into the outer darkness.[vii]
“Be faithful with the provision given you. Be faithful with your gifts and talents. Be faithful to forgive so you can love as I do. Be faithful to prepare by walking in the truth of My word. Be a doer of My word![viii] Those who belong to Me will reflect My peace. I Am slow to anger, quick to show mercy, generous, loving, helpful, and faithful.[ix] Be the same, and in doing so, you will be PREPARING for the BIG that is on the horizon.”
