I had a vision this morning (Feb. 5th, 2000; Saturday; approximately 11 am). Afterwards, I was overwhelmed with a feeling of uncertainty and fear that maybe what I had seen wasn't really of the Lord. I wasn't sure at all how to proceed with this possible vision. 

When I began to pray more about it, and seek the Lord about it, this is what I felt He replied (please judge it for me in your own spirits, whether it is of the Lord or not and let His Spirit either confirm or not confirm it to you) 

"This is of Me. Take it and run with it." 

Then, a hand with something that looked like a rolled-up book resembling a baton that racers use in races, was extended to me. Reluctantly, I took the baton. 

"What do I do with it now, Lord?" I asked.

"Take it and run with it. For some, it is already almost too late."

I stood still for a moment; feeling very afraid and uncertain. Then, the hand touched me, and I felt the fear leave me. I began to run. I would run up to men, whom I somehow recognized as men of God. To each man of God I ran up to, I would extend the baton to them. 

Some of the men of God took the baton from me, and they also began to run with it. Other men of God, laughed at me and refused the baton. 

Each time, after I would either give the baton to a man of God, or have the man of God refuse the baton, I would once again take off running.

(Here is the vision I had on Feb. 5th, 2000; at approximately 11am) ~~

"Attack Against Wives in The Ministry And Against God's Bride, The Church"

In the vision, I was in a church. The pastor was standing on the platform, behind the podium. His wife was standing next to Him. She was dressed as a bride. They were holding hands. 

The ministers and their wives in this church were circled around the congregation. The ministers and their wives were holding hands and were praying in their spirits for the congregation. The ministers and their wives were all holding hands; so that the congregation was completely enclosed in the circle of the clasped hands of the ministers and their wives. Each of the wives, was also dressed as a bride. 

The pastor was preaching, and exhorting the congregation. He was looking beyond the walls of the church. Beyond the walls of the church, the pastor could see a field. Angels were in the fields, harvesting. As the angels harvested, they would reach down and scoop up what they had harvested. 

Each time the angels did this, their arms would be filled with a newborn baby. The baby would be crying. The angels then would turn to men standing next to them, place the babies in the arms of these men, and tell them to take the babies to their mothers. Then these men who were holding the newborn babies, would quickly head for a church.

The pastor could see this transpiring beyond the walls of His church. He was telling the congregation, "The babies are coming !!! The babies are coming !!!! Prepare for the babies !!!"

People in the church busily began to prepare a nursery with which to receive the coming newborn babies. While the nursery was being prepared, I noticed that the pastor's wife began to have many people start coming to her. She was being asked all types of questions.

Demands were being made of her. She began to appear overwhelmed, confused and dismayed. She let go of her husband's hand. Slowly, the press of those crowded around her began to push her back and away from beside her husband.

The pastor's wife began to try and retreat and withdraw herself from the press of the crowd around her. Finally, she was in a corner up on the platform. She was crying and seemed very upset. Even though there was a crowd around her, there was a space between her and the crowd. She appeared isolated and alienated.

The pastor had been preaching and exhorting the congregation to prepare for the babies. At first, he hadn't noticed that His wife's hand had slipped from his. in fact, he appeared at first to have greater freedom to preach and exhort His congregation after His wife's hand slipped from His. For now, he could use both His free hands to gesture as he preached, without being weighted down with having to hold onto his wife's hand. 

But then, he heard his wife cry out. He glanced over his shoulder to his left and saw his wife weeping and alone, yet surrounded by a clamoring crowd, in a corner of the platform. He began to call to her to come back and join him. She only shook her head helplessly. She couldn't get through the crowd around her. She began to appear ill, and continued to cry.

As the pastor took his undivided attention from the congregation and began to be distracted by what was happening to his wife, I saw the same thing beginning to happen to the minister's wives who were holding hands, and standing in a circle around the congregation. 

The wives also began to slowly let go of their husband's hands and slip further and further away from their husbands. It was like something was causing them to become apart from each other, and isolated and alienated from each other. 

The minister's wives also began to cry, and also began to appear ill. When their husbands noticed that their wives were no longer at their sides and holding onto their hands, they also took their focus from the congregation and began to look around for their wives. 

When the circle around the congregation was broken, and the attention of the pastor and the ministers of the church was diverted, I saw wolves begin to slip past the gaps created in the circle around the congregation. The congregation was beginning to become fearful, confused, and restless. 

When the wolves entered the congregation, they began to injure people in the congregation. Those who had been preparing the nursery stopped doing so. While this was happening within the walls of the church, I saw beyond the walls of the church. 

The men who had been given the newborn babies had finally reached the doors of the church. When they came into the church with the newborns cradled in their arms, there was chaos and confusion. The men with the newborns began to look frantically around the church, and cry out, "Where is the nursery? Where is the nursery? These babies need a nursery."

Then, the vision ended.

When I asked the Lord what this vision meant, I feel this is what He replied. I ask you to please prayerfully consider this, and to judge for yourself if you feel a confirmation.

What I feel the Lord answered me when I asked Him what this vision meant, was: 

"This is how it will be when I send My angels to reap the harvest. The souls are ready to be brought into My Kingdom. The men standing next to the angels, are evangelists. They will help to usher in My revival, and seek to have a safe place in which to entrust the souls which will be birthed during this time of reaping and harvesting and birthing.

"Many shepherds are aware in their spirits that this day is upon us, and are beginning to prepare for the harvest.

"The enemy is also aware that the time of reaping, harvesting and birthing has come to the church. The enemy is seeking to prevent a safe place for the newborns to receive nourishment. The enemy is doing this be attacking the wives of pastors, and by attacking the wives of ministers.

"Many pastor's wives and the wives of many ministers are already feeling overwhelmed with those things which are required and demanded of them. They feel isolated and alone and misunderstood. Many of these wives have been attacked with sickness, weakened health and emotional problems. Their marriages are being attacked. Their health is being attacked. Their emotional well-being is being attacked. Many of these wives are surrendering to being overwhelmed by this attack. 

There are some who have left their husbands, left their churches, left their faith. There are even some of these wives who have been hospitalized, who have died, and who have even attempted to take their own lives. The enemy knows that if he can distract the men through attacking their wives, there will be no nurseries prepared for the souls of those being born into the kingdom."

"What can we do?" I asked the Lord.

"Do it My way," the Lord replied.

"What is Your way?" I asked the Lord.

"The circle wasn't prepared correctly," the Lord replied. "I will show you how I would have the circle of protection to be in place correctly in congregations."

Then, I saw the same church once again. Instead of being up on the platform behind his podium, the pastor was in the midst of the church. His wife was holding his hand, standing next to him, dressed as a bride. Around the pastor and his wife, the ministers and their wives were gathered in a circle. They were then surrounded by the congregation. The congregation was surrounded by a circle of angels with swords. 

"When the ministry is in place correctly," the Lord said to me, "it will be well with the congregation."

"Why are the wives dressed as brides?" I asked the Lord.

"Just as these women are the brides of this pastor and these ministers, the church is My bride. Just as the wives of pastors and the wives of ministers are being attacked by the enemy, and the men rush to defend and protect their wives; even so is it with Me.

"The church is My bride. I will defend her and protect her. I gave Myself for her. I will not leave her unprotected or undefended. As it is in the natural realm, so is it in the spiritual realm. 

As the wives of pastor's and the wives of minister's are being attacked in the physical, even so is My Church, My Bride, being attacked in the spiritual. I would have My shepherds and those in the ministry to be aware of this, and to work at thwarting the plans of the enemy. 

The wives of pastors and ministers need intercessors to arise up on their behalf. This will enable the ministry to stay focused upon the vision I have granted unto them of a coming revival, and to begin to prepare for it. If the wives can be eliminated at the outset, the birth of many souls will be aborted and miscarried at the very beginning, and those brought to the actual birth will have no place prepared for them in which they will receive strength and nourishment. 

The attack is already being waged against the wives of pastors and ministers. They need to be shown what is actually transpiring in the spiritual realm so that they can work against this attack of the enemy. 

Take the vision, My child, and run with it."
