Uncommon Seed - Uncommon Blessing

The end of 2012 brought to completion a word my pastor released to the church out of Isaiah 37:30-32 that would span over three years.

This shall be a sign to you: You shall eat this year such as grows of itself, and the second year what springs from the same; Also in the third year sow and reap, plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them. And the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah Shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward. For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, and those who escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.

I personally can say this word has come to pass in my life and the lives of many others that I know personally. I believe it has been a church wide happening, the body of Christ.

Enter 2013…

I’m at home first Saturday of the New Year and decide it’s time to go outside and rake more acorns. Yes, acorns. I have three oak trees on my property. I bought the home three years ago, but this was the first time the trees put out acorns that seemed to be endless. I’m not talking about a few acorns here and there. I’m talking about acorns falling all day and all night for months! I could hear them falling in the middle of the night on the roof of the house, bouncing off the vehicles in the driveway and raining down on the concrete. It became a very common thing to get hit in the head with acorns if you dared to go outside…but the sky was not falling. Ha ha.

The acorns were so abundant that it was killing the grass in the back yard and the driveway was just blanketed with a sea of acorns. Our vehicles left a trail of cracked acorn shells out of the driveway and down the road…no joke. So I started raking them up and sweeping the driveway and patio, but as soon as I gathered them up, the ground was covered with them again, and again, and again… I put out so many bags of acorns over several months for trash pick up that I stopped counting at 80 bags.

So now I am going outside again to gather them up…again, but this time as I am walking down the driveway to work my way from the front of the property to the back, I see the sea of acorns and in my heart I feel a rumble to grumble rising up. I am about to start complaining about how I hate acorns, but what came out of my mouth was, “No, this is the blessing of the Lord!” The Lord immediately responded and said, “Yes it is My blessing and it represents the completion of the three-year prophecy out of Isaiah:

…also in the third year sow and reap, plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them… and the remnant who have escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward…

I grabbed a few acorns off the ground to put them on the desk in my prayer room to be a reminder to me. As I was looking at them, he spoke these words:

Many are experiencing abundance in many ways, but some are not able to overcome their complaining to see the blessing I have released and rained down on them. Complaining about the work required to gather the blessings has blinded some and caused them to become envious of the blessings others are walking in. They see the blessing in the lives of some around them, but are blind to the blessing in their own lives. Regardless, many are taking root down deep and bearing up much fruit. The acorns you hold in your hand now and have been raking for weeks represent the abundance of seed to sow, which I have prepared for my people in this New Year. I have already provided it and I have already blessed it…it will come to pass. It is very important this year not to confuse your seed for bread. Your seed is to sow and your bread is to eat. Practice asking me about your finances and resources, how much is seed and how much is bread. If you eat your seed you will eat your blessing, but if you sow your seed you will become a great blessing to many. The seed I give this year is an uncommon and powerful seed. When you ask and pray to me for something always ask – Now Father, what’s the seed and where should I sow it? Then trust and obey.

So I am looking at the acorns in my hands wondering if these represent abundance and 2013’s seed is uncommon and powerful, what does that seed look like? I purposed in my heart to sow more and in many ways. The very next day my mother said she wanted show me something my sister from Dallas sent. She opened a bag and pulled out a couple of acorns, but these were not normal acorns. It was obvious they were very abnormal or uncommon acorns. I began to laugh so hard and the Lord said, “This is what 2013’s seed looks like Samuel so don’t confuse your seed for bread.”

He gave me these verses to confirm his word.

Haggai 2:19 NLT
I am giving you a promise now while the seed is still in the barn. You have not yet harvested your grain, and your grapevines, fig trees, pomegranates, and olive trees have not yet produced their crops. But from this day onward I will bless you.

Zechariah 8:12 NIV
The seed will grow well, the vine will yield its fruit, the ground will produce its crops, and the heavens will drop their dew. I will give all these things as an inheritance to the remnant of this people. 

Sow uncommon seed and be an uncommon blessing!

Dream: Dutch Sheets taking photo with ministers

04-01-13 Dreamed - Dutch Sheets taking photo with ministers...a call to intercession

I dreamed was with Dutch at a gathering of ministers from all denominations. Every denomination was represented and I seemed to be an assistant to Dutch. The ministers were brought together for a group photo to be displayed for all to see. The photographer was positioning the ministers on a stand much like you see a choir stand on. He started by positioning ministers on the last row, which was also the highest, and he worked his way down until the entire rack was full including the floor level in the very front was full of ministers standing shoulder to shoulder. The photographer looked over at Dutch who was standing alone, the last one waiting to be positioned for the photograph, but there was no room so he told Dutch to sit on the floor in the front. Dutch sat down on the floor, but then the photographer told him he was still too high up. He told Dutch to lean to the right a little. Then he told him to lean more and more until Dutch was almost laying flat on his side. The photographer said that looks about right and told them all to get ready to take the picture. At that very moment all the minister countenances changed and what they truly believed and were teaching manifested on their faces and their positions on the stand changed and took on the form of the Hindu goddess Durga, which has eight arms. The minister standing the tallest and at the very top manifested homosexuality and then there were two ministers on his left and right and they manifested faces that represented various sins and iniquities. Dutch immediately shouted, “Wait, we cannot take this picture!” but no one paid attention to him. Then he said, “Don’t you care everyone is going to see this picture?” but no one paid attention to him. He said, “We have to be careful!” but still no one said anything except motioning to him to get down as low as he possibly could get to the floor for the picture. Obviously, they were bothered by him and did not want him to be in the picture. Dutch began to weep uncontrollably for the condition of the ministers with a deep sorrow and could not be consoled. I placed my hand on his shoulder from behind and attempted to comfort him, but he would not be comforted. The grief woke me from the dream. It was 3:33 am this morning.

End

Here is what the Lord said to me about the dream. The picture represents the spiritual condition of our country and the forces behind it that we must stand against and defeat through fasting and intercession. There is much ungodliness being preached through various forms of media and even from some pulpits in America today. At the top, the head, if you will, is homosexuality, an unclean and perverse spirit. The spirits that followed after were positioned in a way to give the appearance of the arms of the Hindu goddess Durga, which has eight arms. Her name means, a fort or a place that is protected and thus difficult to reach. These spiritual forces seemed to have an unbreakable hold on the country today, but God is about to do something about it. 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. 

He said, Dutch Sheets represented the true intercessors of God who are placed in strategic places. God trusts His prophets and intercessors with His secrets and reveals them before He does them. Amos 3:7

Surely the Lord GOD does nothing, Unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

Amos 7:1-6

Thus the Lord GOD showed me: Behold, He formed locust swarms at the beginning of the late crop; indeed [it was] the late crop after the king's mowings. And so it was, when they had finished eating the grass of the land, that I said: "O Lord GOD, forgive, I pray! Oh, that Jacob may stand, For he [is] small!" [So] the LORD relented concerning this. "It shall not be," said the LORD. Thus the Lord GOD showed me: Behold, the Lord GOD called for conflict by fire, and it consumed the great deep and devoured the territory. Then I said: "O Lord GOD, cease, I pray! Oh, that Jacob may stand, For he [is] small!" [So] the LORD relented concerning this. "This also shall not be," said the Lord GOD.

He said just as the revealing of coming judgment produced godly sorrow in Amos, so will the revealing of God’s judgment coming upon sinners today produce godly sorrow through the intercession of the prophets and intercessors today. God revealed coming judgment to Amos because He knew Amos would cry out to God with godly sorrow and plead for mercy on behalf of the people. 2 Corinthians 7:10

For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation, not to be regretted; but the sorrow of the world produces death. 

James 2:13

For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. 

Let’s us not forget that we were once sinners and lost without hope and God showed us mercy instead of judgment because of the prayers of loved ones on our behalf and because of His intercessors that sacrificed themselves to the Spirit of intercession for our salvation. God is saying to us today, it’s our turn; we are up to bat and the bases are loaded with souls. Today, now at this present time, we must not procrastinate and put off intercession with “fasting” when the Spirit calls. The grace for that is gone, but the grace for intercession with fasting is being poured out without measure to all that will yield and answer the call. God is ready to bring in the greatest harvest of souls and you and I are required to labor with Jesus.

The hand of the Lord is about to come down heavy on His prophets and intercessors with a burden for the lost and backslidden like never before, which will bring forth Godly sorrow and repentance in order to stay the hand of the Lord and his judgment. God desires mercy over judgment and it is His desire that not one soul should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

2 Peter 3:9

The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 

As for the time when I woke up from the dream this morning…3:33 am…

Ezekiel 33:3 - 9

when he sees the sword coming upon the land, if he blows the trumpet and warns the people, 'then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his [own] head. 'He heard the sound of the trumpet, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his life. 'But if the watchman (intercessor) sees the sword coming and does not blow the trumpet, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes [any] person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at the watchman's hand.' "So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear a word from My mouth and warn them for Me. "When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked [man], you shall surely die!' and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand. "Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

   

Father, grant us grace to yield to Your call to intercession with godly sorrow, which leads to true repentance. We ask for our inheritance, the heathen. We call Your quiver full!

In Jesus name
