While praying the other morning, the Lord showed me a snake and this snake had two heads: One appearing female and one male. It's tail was coiled and gripping tightly to something too dark to distinguish. As I stared at the snake I noticed upon the snakes neck was a thick chain and on it was written "lies". As I looked at it for sometime I asked the Lord, "why are you showing me this, what does this mean and what is this snake, why is it both male and female?"

He said to me "Denise, sin has no gender partiality and this snake is a representation of what the deceiver has done. He takes My creation and chains them with lies of separation and coils his tail to grip the things of the world so that they cannot see reality and truth for what it truly is. This snake is bound to a spirit of perversion. It has caused My creation to wonder if I, the Almighty God, had made a mistake when I formed them in the womb. The deception has been grounded in the things of the world, the lies have kept them separated from Me and this will not do! Now watch!" As I watched I saw two huge hands reach down and begin to rip the snake in two as to separate the male and female parts and in doing so, the chain of lies was ripped from it's neck and fell. As the chain of lies fell to the ground and the tearing apart of the two heads became complete the heads began to receive new bodies and they were both dressed in the brightest white I had ever seen. I watched as they were completely formed. The female looked so beautiful and the male looked so strong. The Lord said "I have told you the prodigals are coming home and these, too, are prodigals, some who have earthly parents who have been held by guilt and shame weeping over their children but now they will rejoice with Me as the lost are found and the dead are brought to life. Many have fell prey to the perverse spirits of homosexuality and pornography and every kind of perverse sin but I am in this hour causing them to come back to Me. I am drawing them with a spirit of purity and you must receive them with open arms and the spirit of purity in you. Many will come seeking the truth and they must see it in My church." My word says that Love covers a multitude of sin. Let My love in you cover these multitudes that are in sin. Prepare your church houses to receive this harvest. It is time to draw in the harvest and separate the wheat from the tares of this world. Open up the gates let the King of Glory come in and He will bring with Him a great wedding party for the wedding feast that is soon to come. Prepare the way of the Lord."

I cried as I realized God was doing far greater things then I had imagined, yet had desired for so long. My idea of prodigals had limited God to children, lost sheep and leaders who had walked away but never had I dreamed God would call the perverse whose life did not meet my expectations. I then remembered my time in prison and how so many had fallen prey to the lies of the enemy and how narrowly I escaped the lie myself, but God is merciful and He is calling us to lay down our thoughts and ideas and show mercy not judgement (you know, love the sinner but hate the sin) and in so doing we show purity and truth which is what will ultimately cause those who have been in bondage to desire to be free in Christ Jesus.

Last night as I was ministering in the county jail a woman who lives the homosexual lifestyle who previously wanted nothing to do with us, our beliefs or our ministry came to us with the confession that she did not even know why she had come but wanted to know more. We sat and listened as she poured our her heart and defended her lifestyle. In that instant God said " Do not defend Me or my word just give the purity of word and truth with love." So we did just that; we shared with the most incredible amount of love that God graciously poured through us and she allowed us to pray for her for the very first time in her life. God moved mightily and although she did not accept Christ as her saviour right then she took a bible and promised to read the scriptures we had given to her. I have no doubt in my heart that she is coming home.

On Sunday evening as my husband shared his heart with the congregation through tears I watched as the spirit moved on him with a new compassion and love for those who are bound in this perverse spirit and as he shared intercession fell upon the church as others felt the same need to be ready for what is coming. One woman shared her heart for those lost in that lifestyle and she prayed accordingly for an increase in love and not judgement from the body of Christ. We knew God was pleased that night. It was amazing as is our God.

Beloved, I sense in the spirit this harvest that is coming is one that will cause us to reach into the depths of our soul and pull out of us a love that only God can give and one that will truly test us in that "greater love hath no other than a man (or woman) lay down his life for a friend." These are friends of God and chosen of Christ and He is calling them home to Him. How will we receive them? With judgement, offense and disdain or with Honor, Love and Purity...It will require us to get real and be totally grounded in the Rock of our Salvation. Jesus the Christ.

It is with love and respect that I submit this to the family of God and ask that you seek our Father for His truth in this because whether we like it or not nor if we are ready or not God is bringing them home and we must be prepared.
