“And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
Even on the male and female servants in those days I will pour out my Spirit.
“And I will show wonders in the heavens and on the earth,
blood and fire and columns of smoke. The sun shall be turned to darkness, and
the moon to blood, before the great and awesome day of the Lord comes. And it
shall come to pass that everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be
saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be those who escape, as
the Lord has said, and among the survivors shall be those whom the Lord calls. Joel 2:28-32 (ESV)
Nature and the cosmos have been very active lately, however, it's been pretty quiet lately on the dreams and visions front. And the prophets...I don't trust most of them. According to Rev. Tom Brock, we should always ask, "Was that revelation from God, Satan, or [spicy] pizza?" I concur with Tom. We are called to discern everything.
Please note that 95% of the prophets in our world, had a specific message from God in the 1970's or the 1990's, and they're still blabbing like they're relevant. Most modern-day prophets are irrelevant!
So, who do I trust? I trust David Wilkerson. Please read his book called "The Vision," because it is a picture of what to expect in our future. Most of the top eschatologists subscribe to Wilkerson's vision of the end of days. Rev. Wilkerson was raptured in 2011.
I trust Henry Gruver. I trust Mark Biltz. I trust Jonathan Cahn. I trust my Torah/Bible Study friends.
I trust many people that God sends my direction. God even uses bad people or bad situations to message me.
I trust Michael Boldea. I finally met him in Cresco, Iowa a month ago. Here is his most recent post from 6.1.2013: http://mikeboldea.blogspot.com/
The following is a dream I had three times over Memorial Day weekend. It is as it will appear in the next issue of the Hand of Help newsletter. It was a sobering dream in many ways.
Dear Brethren,
Over Memorial Day weekend I was scheduled to speak in
Lake Havasu Arizona. Since Las Vegas was the closest major airport and by far
the cheapest ticket, Gene and I flew there having planned to spend the first
night upon our arrival somewhere in the area, then make the drive to the
meeting the next day.
After a four hour flight, some misunderstandings with the
car rental agent, and a couple hours to get acclimated to the heat, we checked
into our room without further incident.
That night I had a dream.
I dreamt I was standing beside a path leading into a
forest, and although snow blanketed the ground, the path was still visible,
clear, and well defined. Although I wasn’t cold in my dream, I could seem my
breath and as I looked around trying to understand what I was seeing and why I
was seeing it a beautiful buck made its way up the path toward me.
Although I can’t say I’ve seen many bucks up close this
seemed like a fine specimen, regal in its bearing, almost prancing up the path
with its head held high.
I stood beside the path unmoving, not wanting to spook
the animal in any way. If it saw me it did not let it show as it passed by and
continued trotting down the path.
I continued to watch it follow the path toward the forest
until suddenly it veered off and began to make its way through the packed snow.
Although its pace slowed and it was having a difficult time making headway once
it veered off the path, the buck seemed stubborn in its insistence, and though
progress was slow, it continued its march.
I started to look around for something else, not really
understanding what I was seeing or why I was seeing it when a sharp crack drew
my attention back to the buck. Although the animal was a good distance from me,
I could see what had happened with great clarity.
The buck had stepped into a hole which had been masked by
the snow, and had snapped its front left leg.
I didn’t know what else to do, so I just stood and
watched as it forced itself up, and though evidently in great pain, it began to
continue on its journey away from the path.
Its progress was slow, and I could hear the echoes of its
bleating, but wounded as it was the animal was insistent in its purpose.
After some time the buck stopped suddenly and began to
sniff at the air. An instant later the mournful sound of howling wolves reached
my ears, and I understood what the buck had smelled.
With renewed vigor the buck tried to run, but hampered by
its wound, its progress was slow.
I was so focused on the buck that at first I did not
acknowledge the movement in my peripheral vision, but as they drew closer I
shifted my focus and I could see the source of the howls approaching swiftly.
At first it was one wolf, then two, then five, then an entire pack, all in a
semi-circle chasing down the wounded buck as it tried to flee.
I was anxious to see what would happen, I strained to see
every detail, but as the wolf pack drew closer and closer to the buck, I woke
up.
Troubled by the dream I’d had, I prayed a prayer and
tried to go back to sleep but no sleep would come.
The next morning we made our way to Lake Havasu, and
after having our evening meeting, and a late night dinner, I went to sleep only
to dream the exact same dream again. Everything was the same, from the path and
the snow, to the buck and its broken leg, to the howls and the wolves, and to
waking up fully alert just as the wolves were closing in on the buck.
Once again I prayed and tried to go back to sleep, and
once again sleep would not come.
The next morning we had church, then drove a couple hours
to a place called Aguila Arizona where we had some wonderful fellowship, then
drove back to Las Vegas where we would catch our flight home the next morning.
It was already past midnight when we got in, and having
preached twice and driven for about seven hours that day, I was as exhausted as
a man can get.
I was asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow, and once
again the same dream began to play out. Just as the wolves were ready to attack
and take down the buck I was awoken by a loud noise coming from the pullout
sofa in the room. It was Gene. He was snoring.
I was halfway to throwing a pillow at Gene and telling
him to roll over, when I saw the man standing at the foot of the bed, arms
crossed over his chest, and a half smile on his face.
‘Because it is inconsequential,’ he answered.
‘The instant the animal wandered off the path and wounded
itself, its end was a certain and foregone conclusion. It matters not which
wolf fells it. Once it is felled, they will all feast. The same can be said of
this nation with one exception. The animal had no one to help it, this nation
rejected the help offered it believing it could heal its own self of the wounds
it had inflicted upon itself. The wolves have gathered. They sense the
weakness, they smell the blood, and they are confident in the outcome of their
endeavor.’
In an instant the man was gone, and I found myself
standing halfway out of bed with a pillow in my hand pondering what I had just
heard.
We reject repentance at our own peril. We reject
righteousness, sanctification and the pursuit of holiness to our own detriment.
Though there is safety on the narrow path we’ve taken it upon ourselves to
blaze our own trail, indifferent to the untold perils and dangers awaiting
those who stray.
I wish with all my heart I could write happy things in my
letter to you today, I wish I could tell you the sun will come out tomorrow and
the storm clouds will pass, but our refusal to accept God’s help, our refusal
to submit and humble ourselves before Him only hastens judgment.
The wolves have gathered, the hunt begins, and this
weakened nation is the prey.
I will now repeat what I preached on during one of the
aforementioned meetings because I believe it is relevant, timely, and apropos.
The level of your relationship with Christ today, will determine whether you
stand or fall by the wayside tomorrow. Know that you are resting in Him, know
that you draw your strength from Him, and know that you have placed your hope
and trust in Him.
On Christ the solid rock we stand, for truly, all other
ground is sinking sand.
Psalm 124:6-8,“Blessed be the Lord, who has not given us
as prey to their teeth. Our soul has escaped as a bird from the snare of the
fowlers; the snare is broken and we have escaped. Our help is in the name of
the Lord, who made heaven and earth.”
With love in Christ,
Michael Boldea Jr.
