AMAZING PARABLE: THE Fear of God and The BEAR MARKET

3/05/08:  This year I received an email with some photos of an amazing bear rescue that happened in September 2007. As soon as I saw this I knew it was the Word of the Lord as it was a confirmation to several Words He had given me about being divinely rescued.  

In the bear story, he was on Rainbow Bridge at Donner Summit near Truckee, California. Cars were coming at him in both directions and he became scared and jumped over the edge of the 100 foot bridge. He was literally hanging in the balance on a ledge and managed to pull his 250 pounds up onto the ledge and go to sleep. The next day help arrived in the form of some compassionate helpers, a tranquilizer gun and netting. He was safely planted on the ground 21 hours after the incident.

 

At the time it was strongly quickened to me because I had been getting bear rhema, including dreaming of one in the middle of the road with traffic going in both directions.  Whenever the Lord gives me rhema about bears, it has always represented the fear of the Lord to me.  Also within a short period of time prior to this, I had several visions all with the same identical theme:  I saw someone being airlifted by a giant crane and moved to another place.  I saw a whale being air lifted.  I saw a person being catapulted and hurled away from a flood.  Those would be enough, but none of those compared to the following visionary experience I had during the same time period. 

DIVINE RESCUE: ANGEL OF DELIVERANCE  11/04/07

VISION: I was nestled in the crevice of a very tall, narrow pinnacle rock overlooking a river. I bent over a couple inches and looked straight down, to see if there was a way down and I gulped. No way! So I turned around and looked straight down the other way and it was identical. I just stayed put in the crevice because I knew I was safe as long as I waited on the Lord to deliver me. Suddenly a deliverance angel showed up. He was massive, about 3 stories tall. He cradled and carried me off. In a deep, deep base voice he said, “It is a pleasure and honor to serve the Lord’s bride.” I felt very safe even though he was so massive. So I started asking him a pile of questions and he took much care in answering each one with a lot of patience and sincerity. As I listened to him, I knew English was not his normal language because he spoke with a deep accent.

When I came out of the vision, I laughed delightedly because I remembered his size, his face, his kindness, the depth and accent of his voice. But I didnt remember one question I asked him or any of his answers. That is SO much like God!

Although the bear Word and all rescue rhema was relevant for me at the time I now realize that all the Words about being rescued also apply to the Bear Market we are facing today in the world economy.  It is important that if you are being directly affected by this in your personal life, that you stay safely put until the Lord delivers/moves you.  As you call upon Him, He will bring you the help to carry you to a safer place.

One day as I was in the middle of crying out to the Lord to be rescued, someone sent me the following photo: 

THE BEAR’S PRAYER

To me, the bear has always represented the fear of the Lord.  In the world it is just plain fear.  In the Lord, it is fearful honor of Who He is...that He is Boss and His Word is True.

As I was pondering this attentive bear sitting at the table, here is the Word that came to me as the bear’s prayer:

“Dear God, I have walked upon the bridge spanning between the past and the new day.  I could not help the mounting pressure from opposing traffic in the world, but I can help to do my part to be in the right place with You.  I did not respect Your warnings and could not make a holy commitment during that span.  When I gambled with presumption in spite of the warnings, I found myself hanging in the balance, waiting to be divinely rescued. 

Somehow You heard my cry and help came, and I landed on my feet.  With lessons fresh in memory, wobbly knees and little strength, I headed straight for Your table.  Having learned my lessons about going outside of Your scriptural boundaries, I am now waiting at Your table and ready to eat.  I am ready and willing to obey.  I fear You God and I honor Your Word.  I am committed to stay within the boundaries of Your Word and not gamble against scripture or my conscience any more.”

Amen, go bears!

Heb 12:4-13 NKJV

And you have forgotten the exhortation which speaks to you as to sons:  "My son, do not despise the chastening of the LORD, Nor be discouraged when you are rebuked by Him; 6 For whom the LORD loves He chastens, And scourges every son whom He receives."   7 If you endure chastening, God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom a father does not chasten? 8 But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. 9 Furthermore, we have had human fathers who corrected us, and we paid them respect. Shall we not much more readily be in subjection to the Father of spirits and live? 10 For they indeed for a few days chastened us as seemed best to them, but He for our profit, that we may be partakers of His holiness. 11 Now no chastening seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.  Therefore strengthen the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees , 13 and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be dislocated, but rather be healed.

RHEMA 12/08/10 THE BEAR MARKET

HEARD:  Dont be caught off guard.

I heard this after hearing Rick Joyner's warning about the Bear Market.

RICK JOYNER NOTES FROM VIDEOS

·       2011 is going to be one of the most challenging years in our lifetime.  ... We need to be prepared for these times.

·       2011 is going to be a year of incredible crisis. 

·       Deep darkness and God's glory.

Isa 60:1-3 NKJV

Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; But the Lord will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.  The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.

·       He is going to double the anointing on the prophetic this year.  Prophetic revelation.  It is because we are going to need that kind of guidance to go through the times.

·       You dont have time for that, get your wife and get your hose.  Wife represents the church, the hose is the pure water of the Word.

·       The only hope for our country is that the church wakes up and starts telling the truth. 

·       We are going to have an economic shaking in 2011 that is going to shake us to the foundations.  It may not come to the place where the dollar melts down and all.

RICK JOYNER:  BEAR MARKET POSSIBLY 2011

http://www.morningstartv.com/prophetic-perspective-current-events/god-we-trustnot-government

In this video Rick shares back to back what Bob Jones said about the stock market and also his friends dream that was doubled about the Bear Market.

Around 18 minutes into the video:

Rick's prophetic friend had a double dream on Oct 29 and then again on Oct 30 where he saw a huge bear devouring people that was a bear market.  The bear could swallow a man whole.  The Lord stood beside him and said, "Come with Me."  The Lord showed him the great bear of 1929 as a trophy.  This was a much smaller bear than the one he saw devouring people.  The man who shot the bear shot it with a gun that had Matt 6:33 and Matt 6:10 engraved on the gun.  The same gun that killed the little one can kill the big one.

The bear speaks of fear and also bear market.  Fear is what drives bear markets.

Matt 6:33 NKJV

But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.

Matt 6:10 NKJV

Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

BOB JONES

Bob came up to Rick on Sunday morning and said, "You know we are going to the bargain basement, don't you?  The stock market, it's going down." It's going to the basement, it's going to the low places.  But that's where the bargains are.

Rick said he pulled out everything he had in the market and is sitting by with cash and ready to invest in the bargain basement... "I believe we are getting ready for the most intense year, certainly in our generation, in 2011.  We are in for some very intense times." 

========

PRAYER:  Lord, this news is very sobering and disheartening.  We earnestly ask and plead that You will somehow turn the tide of financial meltdown in the world and USA and bring Your mercy, provision and deliverance to the situation.  Please deliver us from those who would seek to destroy our Godly freedoms of blessings and increase and bring the righteous to the forefront to lead us out of financial bondage, in Jesus Name.

Ps 111:4-6 NKJV

He has made His wonderful works to be remembered; The Lord is gracious and full of compassion.  He has given food to those who fear Him; He will ever be mindful of His covenant.  He has declared to His people the power of His works, in giving them the heritage of the nations.

ANNA RHEMA (SPRING OF 1982) vision of RESTORE THE BEAR

DREAM VISION:  I was in a large cave open on both ends like a tunnel filled with many people.  One side of the cave faced a bleak, rocky steep hill with no vegetation.  The other opened onto the dense greenery of a lovely forest as though near a mountain stream. 

I was on the bleak side and as I looked out the cave entrance I  saw a bear clambering along the rocky slope appearing to be going away from camp.  I immediately thanked the Lord for removing the bear from camp!"   (I don't like bears - too many bad experiences with them!)  No sooner had I prayed than I looked and the bear was on the other side of the cave peering in through the leaves at the opening.

I heard Pastor softly say to the bear,  "Don't be afraid,  I want to help you.  I want to restore you."  I had a very fast conversation with the Lord!  "Lord, that bear looks like a perfectly healthy bear to me.  Please get him out of here!" 

Just after I said the above I heard the voice of the Lord say very forcibly and loud to me,  "You also will restore that bear!"
