THE VISIONS OF HARVEST ARE MY MOST VALUABLE TREASURES



It is often the case that God surprises you with the greatest promises

in times of greatest darkness and uncertainty.


INTRODUCTION TO THE VISIONS AND PROPHECIES ABOUT THE COMING AWAKENING AND HARVEST OF SOULS


When I received the vision that perhaps most shaped my general view of the times we live in and gave me a completely new perspective, I was in a crisis and I was not aware of it. I was so busy doing everything that other people thought I should be doing that I lost sight of my calling.


When I was converted shortly before entering the new millennium, I believed that we are on the threshold of a new wave of awakening, which goes beyond personal awakening or the localized movement of God in the Church or a nation.


I believed that the time of God's visitation was coming to the lands that had not seen God's awakening for 500 years. Over the years this vision died down and seemed almost madness to me because when I looked around there was absolutely nothing to indicate that anything was being prepared, just the idea that we could witness the greatest awakening Europe had ever seen since the Reformation gradually become foreign to me.


At a time when a lot of Christians that I personally knew, barricaded themselves in their imaginary fortresses in anticipation of the greatest persecution and deprivation the world has ever seen, I came to a very radical realization that God has great and wonderful plans for individuals, communities, and nations if we just let Him be for us what He is. YHWH. The great I am. He is nothing that He wants to be because He is omnipotent and omnipresent. He can’t say I want to be that and that. He is. The wannabees would not like Him.


God needs someone to believe in Him, for Him, now in this frame of time, when the cult of one's own self and one's own image is probably the most widespread world religion, which has also crept into all branches of Christianity under the guise of excessive preoccupation with oneself and one's spiritual state. At this time, devote yourself to God for His sake, when everything around us is screaming SELF, SELF, SELF.


A person can become numb by focusing only on personal consecration to God or personal benefits given by God. Both extremes are narcissistic in nature. So we close doors on others. There is a subtle line between seeking God because of whom He is and seeking God so we can get better or higher.


“For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it” (Mt 16:25).


And out of this mental frame we get the worldview that many leaders are teaching. Instead of setting the thermostat to the Living and Working Word of God, many of those whom God has appointed to lead His flocks are more comfortable with reading the temperature of the environment.


You can’t say they are wrong. But you can’t say they are right either. God wants to invade our present state.


God pulled me out of my latent soulish state, as in a scene of the Matrix movie, me being quite comfortable. Man is a triune being. He has a soul, a body, and a spirit. A lot of what we think are spiritual experiences can be just images that our soul projects. If we had met God in the past and don't maintain an everyday relationship with Him, our souls will project memories of those experiences and we can become quite happy. Thank God He will not leave us in that state. He will send Wake UP! calls. Not once, but many times, until we don't respond.


"For God does speak

—now one way, now another—

though no one perceives it.

In a dream, in a vision of the night,

when deep sleep falls on people

as they slumber in their beds,

he may speak in their ears

and terrify them with warnings,

to turn them from wrongdoing

and keep them from pride,

to preserve them from the pit,

their lives from perishing by the sword."

Job 33,14-18



And then, when we open our eyes, everything changes.


He opened the windows of heaven to me and showed me things that cannot be seen with natural eyes. And He can do it for you. He wants to do great and marvelous things for us. One little step of faith will do. You come up, and He comes down. Simple. After my renewed hunger for God's presence, but not just mine, my husband and I spent hours in God's presence, worshiping Him in our home together.


And then suddenly they came. The Fiery ONES. And again, everything changed. Angels that look like the fire that no one has seen here before. Jesus told me when I asked Him what they were, that no one in this region had seen them yet. They came and set in order new protocols for approaching God. They came with the greatest purification I have ever witnessed in my life. Nothing is pure until the fire purifies it. I will write about them when God would allow me, but I can sense He is so pleased that people will know them and there will be dance and worship like never before. Angels and men will camp together. Here. Now. Not in another life.


I was seeing angelic activity like never before. There were not just 3 or five angels but choirs and camps. And they stayed and camped around my house. But. "If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you about heavenly things?" (Jn 3,12).


There were more and more new spiritual experiences and visits to God's glory. That birthed a holy fire in my heart to pursue Him. With what I saw, everything settled in me. My spiritual navigation system received new coordinates that were so different from the drought I sensed in others around me that it became almost unbearable.


But only as long as I was torn between the old, familiar Sunday Christianity and the new, completely unknown territory, the spiritual vastness, where people do not fight over the crumbs that fall from the Master's table. When I decided that it was worth following God, everything in me calmed down, only my old Christian mold fell apart. You can’t have both, the new and the old together. It will crush you and it will crush others around you. What you feel are thorns, they think is their nest. You are tearing their nest apart and is not fair.


So I encourage you. Go, pay the price, take God by the hand and He will show you great and marvelous things.


“Listen, O daughter! Consider and incline your ear: Forget your people and your father’s house, and the king will desire your beauty; bow to him, for he is your lord.… (Ps 45:10).


VISIONS OF THE COMING HARVEST OF SOULS


Why is the harvest vision so important to me personally?


Because in difficult times, when I despaired of myself, and even before I met Jesus personally and even began to believe in the existence of God, I was driven by curiosity and the desire that there is something good out there, behind all the darkness and human selfishness, that there something much bigger. Here on earth. But if I knew of Heaven and God’s grace in those days, I would leave immediately. It was a strange belief about treasures hidden in plain sight covered by a veil of darkness of thought and compassion that I had. A hope.


Before my conversion, I had a near-death experience and left my body. I found myself in the wheat fields and realized that it is not yet my time to leave this planet. The vision of a field ripe for harvest kept me alive. Something that is here on earth, but hidden from my eyes. Something worth fighting for, something worth staying for. Until recently, I had no idea what this grain field was supposed to mean.

Now you are welcome to read harvest visions.


I'm still working my way through my notes, but I'll try to put together the other visions and workable strategies in the foreseeable future.
