RHEMA 6/06/12:  FISHING FOR TREASURES IN THE STORM 

VISION:  I saw many piers extending out into the ocean.  Then I saw angels leaning down and placing shoes on them.  The shoes where mostly youth shoes and each pair was facing OUT towards the ocean and there was no space at all between each person’s pairs of shoes.  The rows of shoes went on for miles on each side of each pier.  I understood in the vision that these were evangelists sent to be fishers of men. 

The Lord is going to send His youth out to become fishers of men and bring in the second wave of the harvest.

Mark 1:16-18 NKJV

And as He walked by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 17 Then Jesus said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men."  18 They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

The photo also had this caption:  Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. —Psalm 139:23-24 (KJV)

rhema 11/17/00  RAINING FISH A HARVEST OF SOULS FROM THE OCEAN

VISION:  I was looking out the dining room window of the Hefley street house.  Suddenly it started raining fish from the sky.  They plopped into a huge heaping pile, flopping around.  Then I saw them stop moving and appear lifeless.  I saw little fish and big fish.  I wondered if it was raining fish other places, but there was a pile right in front of the window and it was as though they were sent there.  I yelled at Wayne to come see this amazing sight and mentioned we should probably take a picture.

HEARD:  That was so exciting.  Where did they all come from?  From the sea.  Harvest of souls.

BOB JONES 3 FISH REVIVALS COMING

www.bobjones.org

NOTES FROM CONFERENCE 12/19/00

There are three coming revivals shown to Bob as three fish when God took him fishing in a vision.

1) God told Bob "throw in your line" and he caught a large fish.  God is about to begin a new youth movement along the coast, much like the Jesus Movement in the 70's .  The timing would begin when the "teenagers are dressed in skimpy clothes."

This will touch mainly "mom and pop" churches that are willing to take in the youth.  The ministries God will be blessing this year will be those focusing on the youth.  This revival will fill the mom and pop churches.  We must not be critical of this generation.

2) God told Bob to throw out his line again.  He caught another fish that was 10 times the size of the first one.  This is the second revival.  The denominational churches will be hungry for this as they will have seen the mom and pop churches having been filled the first time.  This revival will fill the denominational churches.

3) God told Bob to throw in his line again and this time there was an incredibly big fish.  This revival will see 1 billion people be saved.  God told Bob to offer this fish to the denominational churches.  When he did so, they said, "We will take the prime cuts, the doctors, the lawyers, etc".  God said, "No you either have to take the whole thing or none at all".  They chose none.  When this happened the people who had been saved in the first revival stepped forward and said, "We will take the whole fish".  Those who are to be saved in the youth movement will be leaders of the third great revival.

BOBBY CONNER VISION FISHING IN THE MIST OF THE STORM!
by Bobby Conner

From Bobby’s Shepherds Rod 2002

"Snuggled deep beneath a warm comforter, I am sound asleep in my bed in Moravian Falls, North Carolina. The covers are pulled tight around my shoulders because of a sudden cold snap as the first prophetic event begins to unfold.

I was awakened by the sensation that the covers were being pulled away from my shoulders. Half asleep, my first impression was that my wife was trying to rearrange the covers. However, she lay quietly sleeping by my side. Quickly I turned to the other side of the bed, and it was at this point that the Lord spoke to me in a very firm yet gentle voice, “Get up! It is time to go fishing!”

STANDING IN THE STORM
The time was exactly 2:22 A.M. In this prophetic experience I was transported by the Spirit of the Lord from the comforts of my bed to an enormously large body of water.

Standing at the edge of this massive sea, the sky was awfully dark. The clouds were violently turbulent and the winds were swirling and blowing incredibly strong. Lightning flashed across the darkened sky and illuminated the storm-tossed sea. This was clearly not a tranquil, peaceful, serene setting but rather unsettled, troubled waters.

The waters were extremely stirred, with waves mounting high with white caps and foam. The raging wind caused the rain to sting against my face. As the lightning flashed and the thunder was crashing, the sound rolling across the waves seemed to be amplified. I shivered as the wind drove the rain deep into my clothes. It was one of the most tempestuous times I’ve ever experienced, but I could feel that this storm was more than just a natural storm. I could not explain it, but I could sense that this was a very unnatural disturbance I was beholding.

MEAT FOR THE MASTER
Standing at my side, the Lord said, “I am hungry! You are to catch supper.” Intensely, He was steadfastly gazing over the troubled waters. I knew He was expecting me to catch some fish, but I was thinking how hard it would be to fish in such a violent storm. It was difficult for me to even stand in the strong gusts of wind. Although I did not voice my thoughts out loud, He reassuringly said to me, “This is the best time for fishing. Fish are more easily caught at this time.”

A PLACE OF PERFECT PEACE
Then I looked more closely at Him and noticed that His hair was not being blown about by the wind. Neither were his clothes wet and flopping wildly in the wind, as mine were. Christ, knowing that I was now observing Him, said, “Come closer to ME.”

As I moved ever closer to Him, the winds became calmer. When I came near to His side, there was a place of perfect peace and protection from the storm. He smiled, saying in a most comforting tone, “Yes! I am still the PRINCE OF PEACE.”

Even though the situation with the wind and weather had not changed, there was a quiet, calm confidence in the Lord’s presence. I wondered why I didn’t come closer sooner. Looking deep into my eyes, I knew that He was expecting more from me than just standing by. I could sense that He expected me to get busy obeying His command.

THE HEART OF THE LORD
I was extremely ill-prepared to fish, so I said to Him, “I don’t have anything to fish with...I don’t have any bait.”

He said, “You still don’t understand. I AM the bait.” He then slowly placed His right hand over His heart. Holding it there a moment, He extended His hand out from His bosom. I was not prepared for what I saw. There in His hand was a part of HIS HEART, and it was the deepest crimson red, almost purple. He placed it in my hand.

I was overwhelmed with the immense worth and value of just a tiny piece of HIS HEART. I could feel its eternal worth and value, and I knew at that moment that what I had in my hand was most precious. The statement of 1 Peter 1:18-19 filled my heart:

Forasmuch as you know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain lifestyle but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.

Truly God gave His very best to ransom and redeem fallen mankind. Christ Jesus is the ETERNAL LAMB without blemish or spot. He is the sinless perfect sacrifice. Words cannot express the worth of one single drop of the precious blood of the Lamb.

I could not think of casting this portion of His heart into the dark, troubled waters that were raging and roaring at my feet. Yet He instructed me, saying, “Cast this upon the water.”

Now I was openly weeping, saying, “No, Lord, no! This is far too precious to cast away.”

He said, “What you feel is right. Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy!” He filled my heart with the promise of Psalm 126:4-5: “Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.”

I looked at the part of the Lord’s heart in my hand, and it now appeared to be a very bright orange, almost illuminated or glowing. He said, “Cast it out upon the water.”

This portion of the Lord’s heart was attached to His heart through my hand by a very thin, yet bright, scarlet line. I knew that I was to throw this as far as I could, with all my might.

THE HUGE SILVER FISH
I released it into the air. Because of its bright orange glow, I could see it clearly as it flew through the gusting wind. At the instant it came in contact with the water, an extraordinarily large shiny silver fish leaped out of the water, taking the object in its mouth. This was a magnificent, brilliant, beautiful fish, and the lightning flashed against its shiny silver body. There was no fight or pulling against the line in my hand, but this enormous fish quickly swam to the shore at our feet.

This huge fish was extremely beautiful—solid silver. However, as I looked closely at the fish it appeared almost transparent. You could see into the fish, and it was filled with untold numbers of smaller precious fish.

I gazed into the face of Christ Jesus, and His face was radiating the most satisfying, pleasant, joyous smile. He spoke with great compassion saying, “For this cause I came into the world: the seeking and saving of lost mankind. This is the reason I’ve established my church on the earth—to reach mankind with MY HEART.”

THE MULTIPLYING FISH
He questioned me, asking, “Do you know how big this fish is?”
I somehow knew this was a 55-pound fish. I said, “Yes, it weights 55 pounds.”
“Yes,” He replied, “but it is 55 X 55.” At these words, the fish would multiply in size each time it was touched.

THE MASTER’S MEAT
He said, “Pick up the fish and place it into MY HANDS.” When I placed the fish into His hands, Christ placed the fish into His heart, saying, “This is the meat I have to eat of.”

I was thrilled and sad at the same moment—thrilled because of the immense pleasure the Lord was having, yet sad at the thought that I didn’t have any more of the “special bait.” Knowing my every thought, He said, “You will always have MY HEART from MY HAND if you will come to Me. The more you give away, the more you receive.”

Words could not describe the contentment I felt as I stood on these shores with Christ. I could see, without a doubt, that bringing people to Christ is the highest calling one could ever undertake. Nothing we do will bring more pleasure to Christ than presenting to HIM the souls for which He died. These are the most brilliant crowns that we will one day lay at His feet.

Now is harvest time! Only as we follow Christ can He make us to become true "fishers of men"! This is the greatest task one could ever give himself to."

SIGN IN THE EARTH CONFIRMATION 6/07/12:  Today’s news says that yesterday a pier from the Japanese earthquake came ashore in Agate Beach Oregon.

Isa 54:11-14 KJV

O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. 12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. 13 And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. 14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

On June 6, 2012, a massive dock with Japanese lettering washed ashore on Agate Beach.  It landed on Agate Beach more than a year after the Japan tsunami ripped it from its moorings.  Japanese officials confirmed that the 3/11/11 tsunami washed the dock away after the devastating 9.0 earthquake hit Japan.

QUOTES FROM THE ARTICLE

"It looks like there is a very, very abundant community of Asian organisms that have been floating in the ocean for a year and are intact and alive on this float." … They include oysters, mussels, sponges, worms and lots of crustaceans, some of which have already been introduced in other places such as the East Coast where they compete with native organisms…"The other thing astonishing to us is that they should have died or starved to death, but are obviously in very good shape. They did very, very well floating across the ocean on this thing. They didn't die, they thrived," Chapman said.

TREASURES REVEALED AFTER THE STORM 3/01/12

Today I turned with anointed hands to the following Word to Ponder:

WASHED ASHORE 6/10/06

Yes, beloved one, callings and gifts took a strong hit when you were in the midst of the storm. Deep into the heart of the matter is that even if you denied My calling in your life, you are who I have called you to be. Remember how Peter denied even Me, but after he was sifted, I went after him and brought him back from the sea of life.

The pages have turned and there is a whole new day. Your life is washed white and clean as an unwritten page in history. New things are waiting for you. Washed ashore from the storm, are many treasures just waiting to be found. Lost, stolen, and buried at sea, they have surfaced onto dry land. My son, believe Me. Nothing is to be lost. The sands of time yield great wealth yet to be discovered.

Isa 45:3-6 NKJV

I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places, That you may know that I, the LORD, Who call you by your name, Am the God of Israel. For Jacob My servant's sake, and Israel My elect, I have even called you by your name; I have named you, though you have not known Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other; There is no God besides Me. I will gird you, though you have not known Me, that they may know from the rising of the sun to its setting that there is none besides Me. I am the LORD, and there is no other.

CONFIRMATION 3/11/12: I found a birthday card today that was quickened to me as a Word of the treasures that are washed up after having gone through a storm. The above graphic is what I created from a couple scenes from the card.

CONFIRMATION 3/19/12

NOTE FROM QW ROUNDTABLE MEMBER: The Lord is so amazing Sandy! Today, as I read this post from you, it was exactly the "picture" the Lord gave me Friday night at our home group. The Lord showed me the "sea of humanity" being washed up on the shore after the waves had over taken them and beat them down with life's trials and tribulations. We were to meet them with Grace and Mercy because the Lord wants to heal and restore. One person in particular, who is very close to my heart, was shown to me as actually being in the belly of the whale, and now, after many years, has been thrown out of the belly of the whale and washed ashore. (I am now reminded of the natural phenomenon of all the fish being washed ashore in different places.)

These "gems" after being tumbled around in the storms of life, are being washed ashore.  Thank you Lord. It is time to bring your treasures into the Kingdom of God!

WORD TO PONDER:  FISHING FOR TREASURES IN THE STORM  6/06/12

Yes dear ones, the great worldwide storm is here, as prophesied for decades.  Even as it has been spoken over and over again, I AM shaking everything that can be shaken so that which cannot be shaken shall remain. Only My kingdom shall remain and it cannot be shaken. 

I AM drawing many precious souls to Me and they will be plucked out of the stormy seas, ripe for harvest.  Like agates, many of these children will be washed ashore from billowing waves.  I AM sending masses of blessed feet to carry My good news, and they shall be My fishers of men.  They shall search for My treasures and pluck them from the nations of turmoil and give them the good news of My love and salvation for their souls.

Isa 54:11-14 KJV

O thou afflicted, tossed with tempest, and not comforted, behold, I will lay thy stones with fair colours, and lay thy foundations with sapphires. 12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleasant stones. 13 And all thy children shall be taught of the Lord; and great shall be the peace of thy children. 14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.

Isa 52:7 NKJV

How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"

Heb 12:25-29 NKJV

See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven."  27 Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.  28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear. 29 For our God is a consuming fire.
