August 20, 2001:

I see a meadow and in the meadow sits a large stone, a "rock." Beyond the rock, about 40 feet away, is a cave. Surrounding the cave, grass and brush have grown in thickly, but the cave can still be seen clearly from beside the rock. Standing in the meadow it looks as if it is pitch black inside the cave. I start sensing that someone is inside the cave. My focus moves back to the rock. Upon the rock someone is taking a heavy sword and hitting the rock over and over. A loud sharp ringing occurs each time the sword hits the rock. Later I see that I am standing next to Jesus, and we take turns hitting the rock. I realize that each time it is my turn to hit the rock, with the sword, that it is really the power and strength of Jesus within me that lifts and hits the rock with the sword. Then after we each take turns hitting the rock with the sword we both stand facing the cave waiting for the person inside to come out.

Later God shows me that inside the cave it is dark but the person inside has a lamp and as the lamp shines against the walls of the cave beautiful drawings can be seen. Drawings made years ago, very creative and the person inside the cave takes comfort at what they see.

God then takes me back outside the cave. One last time I see the sword rise and fall upon the rock. Then I hear the Lord say these two words: "Clarion Call."

Clarion - 1. A trumpet of the Middle Ages producing clear, sharp, shrill tones. 2. [Old Poet.] the sound of a clarion, or a sound like this - adj. Clear, sharp, and ringing - a clarion call - to announce forcefully or loudly.

"There are many of My children who have partaken of My light, My Son, but refuse to move out of the cave that they have allowed themselves to become accustomed to. Protective surroundings where they feel safe and secure. Inside the cave of familiarity, they have convinced themselves that just a little of My light shining upon their lives is enough revelation of My truth to satisfy their need and desire for Me. A little of My light shining within their lives is enough to sustain them. They have read of those who in years past laid down their lives and followed Me, but that was for another generation. For someone else. If anyone cares to join them in their surrounding they will be sure to shine the light for them. They will share the good news within the comfort of their cave. Only a small glimpse at a time, but it has brought protection to their lives, so they convince themselves that this will be enough for any one who may decide to join them.

Today I call you forth with the "Clarion Call." Today I loudly proclaim to come out of the cave. With the voice of the trumpet, the sound of My voice as the Sword of the Word comes into contact with the rock, faith in My Son, that now is the time to step out of your comfort zones. To bravely shine forth the light that I have placed within you. To go to places and into situations that you are not familiar with. To lay down your desires for security and to help those who need to know the truth. Who need to see that within the light of My Son is strength, truth, power to overcome all situations. I did not tell you the life you would lead would not include difficult situations. I did not tell you that the life you would lead would be safe from worldly persecutions. But I did tell you that I would be with you always. That I would place you on paths of righteousness. That I would give you the fruit of My Spirit which is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith.

I stand waiting for you to step outside the boundaries that you have allowed yourself to hide within. Others are standing with me. They are here to help you. To help you step into the fullness of all that I desire you to understand. Listen and trust. You know that I have much more for you to receive. Do not be afraid. Do not be bound by tradition. Allow yourself to step into the garments of praise. Allow yourself to "see" all that is around you. I am all that has ever been created, all that will ever be created. Give all honor and glory to ME. For I alone am God. There is no other that deserves your praise. All that you see will return to dust. Do not trust in that which will not bring you everlasting life. Put your trust in the living God. Have faith that I am with you always. Always give praise to the name of your God."

"Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer, their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar, for mine house shall be called a house of prayer for all people." Isaiah 56:7

"And David danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet." 2 Sam. 6:14

"The Ark of the Covenant has been brought home. My Son now lives within the home that is your heart and I want you to stand up and sing and dance and shout out this good news. I want all the world to take notice and to wonder at this new sound rising up from the earth. It is the sound of faith. It is the sound of freedom. It is the sound of victory. The enemy is being made to crawl within the dust of the earth because of the sound of joy that is coming forth from those who love and worship Me. He is being crushed under the heel of faith.

Do not wait for another day to give praise. Today the enemy of depression will try to overtake many. The blanket of praise coming from My holy mountain will sound forth as a trumpet to bring freedom to many who have allowed themselves to live in the valley of sadness and depression. Stand upon the mountain of praise and continue to trumpet forth this clarion sound of pure worship. Shout out the good news. Sing and dance along with Me in the beauty of private worship but also before others. Dance and sing in faith and boldness before others. Let them see and hear the good news that the ark has come home into your life and that now you have been freed from the enemy of death.

There is a fire of death that is burning out of control upon this earth. It is destroying the hearts and minds of many. As you stand upon the holy mountain of faith and continue to praise your God through all situations the lost will be drawn to My holy fire of righteousness that lives within My vessels of faith. The lost, the timid, the confused, depressed will be drawn to the truth as you continue to proclaim boldly that your God is the only God worthy to be praised. This holy fire within you will spread as a wild fire and consume the weeds that would try to destroy the fruit that I will bring about as you stay focused and faithful to My Word. Rise up the Ark has come home. Give praise, give glory, rejoice. The Lord alone is good and worthy of all praise."
