Repentance Is A Door
Sandy Warner
Dec 19, 2003
I always provide a way out. For now, the door is called repentance. Many blessings that have been stopped up will spring forth upon true repentance. The gift of repentance is like a cork in a bottle. Can you hear My voice? Pull the cork out of your own ear through repentance. Can you feel My passion and Presence? Pull the cork out of your heart through repentance.
Repentance really is a gift. It is impossible to repent when surrounded by a dark and blind world where each man's standard is right for himself. It is only through the standard of My Word that blind eyes open to the truth. Yes, when the truth is manifest, it produces godly sorrow, but this sorrow leads to salvation and deliverance from evil. Open now the door of repentance and close the door behind you as you walk away from your past life.
2 Tim 2:24-26 NKJV ".in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will."
2 Cor 7:10 AMP For godly grief and the pain God is permitted to direct, produce a repentance that leads and contributes to salvation and deliverance from evil, and it never brings regret;

Experiences In His Cloud

Grandma Anna’s Experience In His Glory Cloud
On 4/7/77 I had a very amazing experience with God's glory cloud while attending a Charles and Frances Hunter conference. This conference was giving me my very first experience in seeing people "slain in the spirit." I was very afraid of it and had no intention of having them pray for me. However, I suddenly developed an excruciating headache. I had a choice of leaving and going back to my motel or receiving prayer. I found myself going forward and got in line to ask for healing before I even thought much about it. Suddenly, Frances Hunter was in front of me and asking my need. Coming out of my mouth with no premeditation at all was a shocking request, "I want God's full anointing for ministry." I didn’t say one word about my horrible headache!
She touched my forehead with one finger and said, "Lord, this gal wants everything you've got!"
I felt myself float back and I literally landed on a white puffy Cloud. The Cloud began to love me. I can't explain how a Cloud can love, but it did. It was a force of love all by itself and in the experience I knew it was God's glory cloud. Never, before or since have I experienced anything exactly like it. My head was aching terribly and I cried out to the Lord to take the pain away. God’s voice spoke out of the cloud and said, "Does that headache really matter?" Then the Cloud loved me again and again. I kept crying out for Him to heal me, and He kept asking me if the headache really mattered. Each time He increased the strength of His love for me which penetrated my very being. I can’t explain the feeling, but it was wonderfully comforting. Finally, I felt His love so intensely that it equaled the pain. Again He asked me and increased the intensity. I was so caught up in His love for me that I wasn’t even thinking of the pain and I said to Him, "No, the headache really doesn't matter."
I slowly came back to conscious awareness of things around me. I felt glued to the floor and had great trouble getting up and walking back to my seat. My head ache was still there and pounding furiously. My friends could hardly believe I still had the headache. They prayed for me and it slowly left. They said I was out cold for at least twenty minutes.
I learned a lesson and have applied it many times. No matter what the circumstances are, the Lord will love us through it. We will know and experience His love in some kind of a tangible way. I also know that I know that I know, that His glory cloud is LOVE.
GRANDMA ANNA EXPERIENCED GOD’S GLORY CLOUD
VISION: Suddenly before me I saw a cloud of tiny little bubbles that were enveloped in a foggy mist. The mist swirled in front of my eyes. I knew it was His glory cloud.
SANDY VISION: I saw the mist of the Lord’s cloud moving upon the hill. Then I saw someone sweeping their hand over me as though to stir the wind. I shook under the Lord’s Presence as I saw this.
HEARD: You are anointed Sweetheart. Endued. [Then I shook again]

SELAH WORD BY GRANDMA ANNA
Precious one of Mine, in all your circumstances, I AM with you. I AM with you when you are worshipping, and when you are being endued with anointing. I AM with you when you are joyful and also in suffering. I AM even with you when I AM the farthest One from your mind. Nothing about you ever escapes My watchful eye. It is as though you are the only one in the world that matters to Me. I love you that much. I never leave you, nor forsake you. You may be in the worst of circumstances, but I AM always there loving you through them, even when you are not aware of My Presence. When you call out to Me in painful and fearful circumstances, I AM there to embrace you. I will keep increasing the intensity of My love until you are comforted. You may not visibly see Me, or smell Me, but I AM there comforting you as a mother does her weeping child. So, rest in My loving arms, dearest one, and know you are loved and safely kept in My Cloud of Love.
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort," (2 Corinthians 1:3 NKJ)

The Power Of Holiness
Sandy Warner
Dec 15, 2003
All hell trembles before a holy vessel. Not sinless in nature, but one who chooses not to yield to sin. A holy life is one that is dedicated, consecrated, and set aside from carnal mixture and the pleasures of sin. A holy heart is one who seeks to please Me in everything.
A holy motive is your pursuit of what I hold most precious, that of laying your life down for others. As you make holy choices, it helps safeguard those you protect. Remember that, the next time you are tempted.
"But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy." (1 Peter 1:15-16)

Thunder And Power

Dec 16, 2003
EXPERIENCE: HIS THUNDEROUS VOICE
One night I had a series of events take place. Here they are in chronological order:
1.) I had been thinking about Annie’s Vision where He dwells in His cloud, directly over earth and the people do not know He is so near. (Note, this vision was recorded in the last Ears2Hear post, titled His Cloud Descends.)
2.) As I was going to bed, Wayne said to me, "Fear not, God is with you." That was a very strange thing for him to say to me, as I was not feeling afraid of anything, and I am rarely afraid. Wayne has never said this to me before in our 27 years of marriage.
3) At 10:00 PM Wayne saw a huge lightning flash light up his window. Then the thunder immediately boomed directly over our house for a long 5 to 10 seconds without stopping. When it happened, he felt that it was significant, and not just a natural event. He also felt it was for my benefit, although he didn’t know why. He said it was only one very lengthy thundering, not a series building up to it, as in coming closer, and a series going away. There was only one flash and one thunder and it was all directly above our roof. It was extremely loud.
4) I was sound asleep at 10 o’ clock. I was dreaming and had just asked the Father in my dream, "What do YOU think about that?" (There was an emphasis on the Word You.) Immediately I heard a very HUGE, loud thunderous sound. It was like someone had spoken a sentence with words that were made from one long sonic boom, but with various degrees of emphasis within the boom! It was directly over my head and the whole atmosphere was filled with this sound and permeated my bedroom. I was very frightened. My heart was beating very fast as I awoke praying out loud, "In Jesus Name, in Jesus Name, in Jesus Name!!" I leaped out of bed and ran over to the window to see what had made that sound. I looked out the window and all was totally still. The rain finally came and I knew it must have been thunder.
5) I grew up among thunder storms; I knew this was very, very different. There was no thunder building up to it nor was there thunder leaving in the distance. I asked the Lord if this could possibly have been His voice answering me in a cloud directly above, for deep in my heart I knew I had heard the Heavenly Father. The Holy Spirit immediately brought back to memory that His voice sounds like thunder, and also that before bed I had been thinking about Annie’s vision where He was directly overhead. I was convinced the Father was there and He had answered my question.
6) I was totally undone by this experience. I kept saying to the Lord, "You are so awesome and I am so puny!" "You are so awesome and I am so puny!" I was overwhelmed by the awesomeness of God.
Job 37:1-5 NKJV
"At this also my heart trembles, and leaps from its place. Hear attentively the thunder of His voice, And the rumbling that comes from His mouth. He sends it forth under the whole heaven, His lightning to the ends of the earth. After it a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice, and He does not restrain them when His voice is heard. God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend.
WORD TO PONDER: HE LISTENS, HE ANSWERS
This night I, your Father, have visited you in My glory cloud directly over your head. You have heard My thunderous voice. Mark it well, for when you ask of Me, I answer. I come when you know it not, and I descend upon you when you least expect it. Remember every little thought you think is recorded and I listen. My voice is mighty and it shakes the very core of your humanity, and yet even in that, I tenderly listen to every care and whim of your heart. Tell My people that your Father is awesome and fearful, and very tender to those whose hearts are turned toward Him.
VISION: I saw the whole sky filled with thunder clouds that were part white, gray and dark. The sky was covered in lightning strikes that were horizontal.
HEARD: Struck by power.
CONFIRMATION: The Lord’s Presence was very strong today at church. When I prayed for a friend, she went berserk, and another lady said to her, "I saw a lightning rod go from the top of your head to your toes." My friend confirmed that is exactly how it felt, like a streak of power going through her body.
WORD TO PONDER: STRUCK WITH POWER
My voice is like thunder and when you hear My roar, know My power is near. The spiritual skies above your head shall fill with thunder clouds and suddenly My power will strike here and there. I will fill the atmosphere with positive charges. As you have climbed in pursuit of Me, it has taken you higher and higher to places you can not see with your natural eye. But I see where you are. Your heart’s passion is like a beacon that draws the power of My lightning to strike into your very being. You shall be endued with My powerful Presence. >From that day forth you shall have My rain cloud accompany you wherever you go. The same lightning that came from heaven will live in that cloud and that cloud will be upon your head as you come in and as you go out. As you reach out and touch others, I shall rain upon them and empower those who are parched and in need.
"The clouds poured down their rain; the thunder rolled and crackled in the sky. Your arrows of lightning flashed. Your thunder roared from the whirlwind; the lightning lit up the world! The earth trembled and shook." (Ps 77:17-18 NLT)

WORD TO PONDER: VISITATION FROM YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER
I have given you these glimpses of My thunder and power so that when I visit you, you shall understand. I AM coming in My thunder and power. My people have become acquainted with their Savior, Jesus Christ. They have become acquainted with their Helper, the Holy Spirit. They have yet to know their Heavenly Father. As I descend into their midst, their very beings shall rock and quake with the intensity of My tangible touch.
John 12:28-31 NKJV
Then a voice came from heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it and will glorify it again." Therefore the people who stood by and heard it said that it had thundered. Others said, "An angel has spoken to Him." Jesus answered and said, "This voice did not come because of Me, but for your sake.

In The Wrong Place
Sandy Warner
Dec 17, 2003
I have said to abstain from the appearance of evil. I have also said to abhor evil. Remember to follow your conscience at all times, and do not doubt. For whatsoever is not of faith is sin. The consequences of being in the wrong place is captivity. Great losses come from wrong choices and many suffer along with you. I suffer in your losses as well. When you come back to Me, you may have a pile of ashes at your feet, but I will give you beauty for all your ashes because I AM a good God.
"Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Abstain from all appearance of evil." (1 Thess 5:21-22 KJV)
"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." (Phil 4:8 KJV)
