What I’m writing about today may seem strange. It’s difficult to put into words the way that God works through me as His prophet.

Since Wednesday morning, God has been prompting me to express the importance of His presence. For these last few days, He has been making His presence known to me very strong. I wake up with a thundering heartbeat. At various times throughout the day, He makes His presence known through a rocking that I cannot settle. I know that sounds weird if you haven’t experienced it, but it’s usually what alerts me to Him making His presence known. He’s always with me but at times He wants to be more obvious.

Yesterday morning, I woke up from nightmares of violence all around me. The Lord wouldn’t say much except that it would not touch me and my children. So let me say again, that God works through His prophets in unique ways. Dreams and visions can just be to get us in a particular frame of mind. While I might tend to think that the dreams of violence are a near future event, it might be God’s way of pushing me to warn with a fervent heart. Think of when God sent Jonah to warn the Ninevites. The message was one of destruction but it caused them to turn away from evil and the promised destruction did not happen.

Last night I was sick with an upset stomach and bathroom issues. (I’m trying to express that it was unpleasant without being too explicit.) The entire time that I was feeling ill, the presence of the Lord was heavy on me. He told me that He wants me to understand that I am not in control. He wants me to know very definitely that I am not in control so that when His hand of wrath comes down on people that I don’t get a say or have a right to compassion on their behalf. This was a very important message from Him to me, and He had to make me feel the weight of it.

Overnight, I had a frustrating dream about trying to acquire a wedding dress. I can’t remember enough of the details but one stood out very strong to me. I was instructed to go to a store in the mall that was store number 10,### (I think it was 10,008.) I’m not certain about the number except that it was over 10,000. As a prophet, I’ve learned that when something stands out strong, it is a focused clue from God. I’m only surmising what this might have been about so remember that please. The wedding dress is possibly tied to the wedding of the Lamb. (I will add a few supporting Scriptures below.) The number could represent a time, for example 10,000+ minutes, 10,000+hours/days/months etc. I’m not one to calculate those things but to instead look at the bigger picture … that our time is numbered and limited.

This morning, when I got out of bed and looked in the mirror, I saw that I have a black-eye like I had been punched in the eye. Still feeling the presence of the Lord strong with me, I asked Him why the black eye? He said “You will understand when the time is right.” As you can imagine I questioned whether I had done something wrong. He said that I had done exactly His will. So evidently, I’m right where I belong doing exactly what I’m supposed to be doing.

In summary, something is up. I don’t have many details other than what I’ve relayed in this post. But God is leading me and making His presence known.

Matthew 22:2 NIV
“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who prepared a wedding banquet for his son.”

Jeremiah 2:32 NIV
“Does a young woman forget her jewelry, a bride her wedding ornaments? Yet my people have forgotten me, days without number.”

Revelation 19:7 NIV
“Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.”
