A couple weeks ago we posted a short
article called Of Such is the Kingdom of God.
Later that day, Sandy sent us a longer version of what happened. Here
is the original piece and the follow up together. [Bill Somers]
"Dear Bill,
I just wanted to say thank you for your terrific prophecy web page.
For weeks I've looked at it often, and gained much insight into the corporate
move of the Holy Spirit. How wonderful it is to know that God's messages
to his prophets and his people are consistent, and that we can operate
corporately "in company" as prophets did during the time of Elijah and
Elisha. The words coming from other prophets have encouraged me, first,
because what they say is consistent with what I have seen (in dreams and
visions), and, secondly, because what they say completes the full picture
of the work God will accomplish (and is accomplishing) in the days to come.
It's almost like what I've seen is a few pieces of a puzzle. By praying,
reading the scriptures and by reading what God says now through the prophets,
I am able to see more clearly what the picture represents. If there are
yet a few gaps, well, God will fill them in His time.

Speaking of prophecy, my youngest daughter (3 yrs. old), came to me
about an hour ago, telling me that an angel had visited her. She came to
me because she thought I was calling her, and I hadn't. (ever read about
Samuel?) So I told her to say to God that she was listening, and she went
out sweetly saying that. Now, about an hour later, she just brought me
a picture she drew. "This is the world," says she, "and its shaking ALL
OVER ! And there's the star." So there ya go!"
Bill,
Before you post about my daughter's revelation, I should give you the
full account. It happened the day that I first e-mailed you.
My youngest daughter has been turned on to the presence of God in the last few weeks. She goes through her day singing little songs of thanksgiving, and I believe some are sung in tongues (sounds like nonsense syllables to me). She cutely says that Jesus is in her heart, and that when she eats the food falls on his head! :) She really loves God a lot.
That morning, she came in and told me that an angel had invited her to ride on his back, but that she had been too afraid. I encouraged her not to be afraid.
Later that morning, she came in to the office (I was typing), and said, "What, Mommy?" I said, "I didn't call you, Ina." She looked at her five year old sister playing at my side and said, "Evie called me." I said, "No, Evie didn't call you." Looking extremely puzzled, she said, "Terry called me, then." (Terry is our room and boarder) "No," I said, "Terry's at work." She looked frightened. "A monster called me?!"
At that point I figured out what was going on, being reminded of Samuel. "No, a monster didn't call you. But maybe GOD called you. You go tell him that you're listening." So she went out of the room, and I heard her sweetly say outside my door, "What, God?"
About an hour later, she came back with a drawing done with a green pen. It was a circle with green scribbles and spots all over it. Typical three-year-old illegible art! She took it and showed it to me.
"This is the world, Mommy, and it's ALL SHOOK UP!" she said with a big smile.
"Oh," I said, amazed. (I haven't even taught her that the world is round yet.) "And what's that?" I said, pointing to the straight up and down scribbles.
"That's grass, and it's all turning LELLOW!" (she's got a cute lisp sometimes).
"Oh," I said, nodding, then, on a hunch, I said, "and where's the star?" "It's right there!" she said, and she pointed to a starry scribble off the world circle, a little to the bottom left hand side. Then she ran out.
At about four o'clock, later that afternoon, after I e-mailed you, she came back again with the picture. I pointed to the other scribbley spots on the world circle. "What's that?" I said.
Those are houses, and they're all BLOWED UP! And the people are RUNNING, and RUNNING. They're running into the JUNGLE! And there's FIRE, fire EVERYWHERE, burning and BURNING EVERYTHING!"
"Oh!" I said, "That's a good picture! You did a good job!"
She nodded gleefully and ran away again. My husband walked in (back from work) in the middle of this last statement of hers, and he was sure amazed. It look awhile for it all to sink in for me, too.
I was strongly reminded of Revelations chapter eight. Look it up!
Love in Christ,
