A few weeks ago the Lord gave me a vision.  I was awakened 3 nights in a row with the same vision.  It is so encouraging that I thought you all might appreciate it.  It was definitely meant for more than just me.

     The vision of the Lord is this:  I saw many ministering angels hovering over the people of God.  Each one was ministering in some special way to individuals.  To one they grace, to another they ministered peace.  Unto yet another they poured out the oil of gladness and to one the purifying washing of the Word.

     Then God spoke, “When the prophet, Elijah, was hungry, I sent the ravens to feed him.  When the children of Israel were thirsty, I sent water gushing from the rock.  When Balaam wouldn’t obey, I spoke to him through his donkey.”

     “Do you think I do not see your need?  Do you think I do not feel your pain?  Do you think I do not understand your confusion?”

     “I tell you that I do.  I  know the condition of the economy.  I know the stress of your every day living.  I understand the unusual weather patterns that strike fear in your hearts.  I control the earthquakes and tsunamis of this world.  I see the floods and wild fires that devour your land.”

     “I am God!  I hold all these things in the palm of My hand and I hold all of you in the palm of My hand.  I will not fail you.  I am always for you.  I continually watch over you and protect you.  Even when you feel that I am far away, still I hold you close to My heart.”

     “Fear not My little ones.  You are mine and I love you with an everlasting love.  The things that surround you and the circumstances of life take you by surprise, but NOTHING surprises Me.  I am He that created it all.  I am He that holds it all in place.  I am He that controls all things.   There is no power in heaven or earth that I do not have and  NO ONE can touch you with out my permission.”

     “Do not fear the furture, for I am already there making a way for you.”
