The Awakening Has Begun

Susan Cummings

For the last couple of weeks, I have had a series of visions and they have been progressive and the Father has laid a base from which He will ultimately build upon in the days to come. He is speaking, moving, and breaking forth. The Hour is late, and we are changing. There are many that are in the Remnant also birthing forth in this hour who can add more to this than me, but I will share my portion as I received it.

Exodus 33: 7-11 In the vision, I am watching myself as well as participating in this experience.

I am sitting on the ground leaning my back against a tent wall. I am in a huge tent and it is dark somewhat. I realize that I am in the Tent of Meeting. I have been here before, but this time not as someone walking around and being shown things as before. But I am sitting at the wall edge and waiting. I realize that I am alone and that I am tired.

As I rest, I can feel the Lord’s Presence within the Tent. He fills the Tent with Himself, yet is also unseen. The eyes are only opened as he decides. To behold Him is to behold Holiness and Terrible Fear. For He is Holy and Terrible, and He is God. I remembered some of My times before the Lord, as I sit there, and my heart longs for Him again. I long for His touch and voice and His Love, yet I also tremble in His gaze, for His eyes look upon all humanity, searching for those with upright hearts. I shiver at the thought of failing Him. I become afraid.

My heart beats faster, and the fear rises up within me, as I search myself and cry out from within myself for mercy and for His cleansing fire. I could not bear to miss My Lord and be apart from Him. All I can do is sit by the wall of the Tent and wait upon Him. For I cannot go anywhere else. He is all I have. My thoughts were now in turmoil, and I shook myself within, struggling to pull myself together, for I knew the Lord brought me here for a reason, therefore I could not have missed him. I chided myself for giving in to the fears of the flesh.

As I was just refocusing, I heard a voice speak from within the Tent. It was very loud and powerful like a trumpet and it echoed all throughout the chambers of the Tent and beyond.

"The Awakening Has Begun."

I jumped up and shook, as it hit me. I looked around and searched for the Lord. He alone could have spoken like that, and I knew I had to seek Him out for the rest of the word. I began to hesitantly walk forwards into the Tent further. As I did, I noticed that it became increasingly harder to see. The Cloud of the Lord began to manifest, or to fill the Tent. I could see the thick Glory as it swirled all around me and I shook even harder. I tried to fall down, but I was held upright. I remained standing as the cloud was all around and I felt the terrible fear arise afresh, as I felt my Lord within.

"Lord," I called out, "Give me your Grace to stand here in your midst."

The Lord then stepped forth closer to me, and smiled. He held out His hand, and took mine. He said, "You have My Grace, that is what held you upright. I am with all of Mine, and My Grace is with you wherever you are. Do not fear. I wanted you to hear what I am doing, and understand, then I would show you."

"Many want to see what I am doing, and then they will trust Me. But I am raising up a people who will trust Me when they hear My Voice, without seeing. Men always want signs. They always want to see, touch, or do something, before they will believe. But I say unto you, that day is over. I will have a people who walk after My Spirit, who know My Voice, who will trust Me without ever seeing, and who also know My embrace. But it is not given to those who do not want Me."

"The Awakening Has Begun."

"I am bringing forth Mine who will rise up and stand with Me. I have told you this before. They are changing now, and are being trained, matured, and transformed right before the world’s eyes. I have wrought a great work, and no one saw it. For their hearts are hardened, and their eyes are dull, and their hearing has waxed shut. It will remain so. For I am raising up and sending forth new leaders and they will not be fearful, nor disobedient. The brokenness that I have accomplished within them, has now become the foundation and birthplace for their ascent. Now comes the next stage of events."

"You are to also begin anew. All that you labored over was brought to another breaking, for it had to pass, and be the new foundation upon which you will now walk. Do not grieve over the ruins that you see all around you, but rejoice that I have wrought a work, and move forth. For what was, could never compare to what will be. For it is all Me. I have been working a deep work and now it will break forth, and what was, will not even be thought of, for I have changed you. Trust Me to lead you further."

I listened to the Lord and felt the grief I had been carrying leave me, and the tiredness. I felt a sense of hope stirring, and looked up. The Lord was gone. I looked around, and all I could see was cloud. I did not desire for Him to leave just yet, and longed for Him. I cried out, "Lord, where are you?" I could hear only a light wind that blew ever so gently in the Tent. I strained to hear, and after a few moments, then I caught a still, quiet word, "Come."

I stepped forwards and could not see anything, for the Presence of the Lord’s Cloud was so thick, and it felt heavy now. I also felt the wind on me as I walked. I could smell the Lord though, and it gave me comfort. I could smell the sweet incense that burned somewhere. I felt with my hands out before me, and moved in the direction of the voice.

After a few minutes, I stopped, for I did not know how far I had stepped, or if I was near anything. I did not want to knock over anything in the Tent. I waited, and listened for the Lord. Nothing. I prayed and said, "Lord, I will wait upon you. I will not move until you say to, nor will I fear, for I know you will lead me." Then the Lord spoke, and said, "That is what I want. That is where My People will remain in Me. That is where Mine will abide and walk out the days ahead. Only at the sound of My Voice."

"The famine of the Word has come, but will intensify. Men will run to and from looking for the true Word from my lips, but will not find it. They will seek out the prophets and the seers, and try to access Me through them, but I will not be found by them. My Word has been profaned long enough, by men who do not treasure it nor reverence it. It will be removed and given to those who have hungered and thirsted after righteousness. It will be given out by Mine who love Me more than their own lives. It will be brought forth with Truth, and with respect. It will no longer be trampled on."

"My Presence will be within you, as well as with all who are called by My Name, but it will not be with those who do not love Me nor walk with Me. I will not abide with those who reject the Truth and love the lies.

Greater darkness comes. You have only seen a portion of the darkness, daughter. You have only seen what you could see when I am so near to you, but if I were to withdraw completely; you would be consumed by the total darkness that is truly present. I showed you this before, but now it is even more becoming a reality in your land. My Son also knew this darkness and separation when I withdrew from Him on the Cross. All who reject Me, will also know this darkness, for their choice will bring them fully into it, as I have told you."

"My Presence is always in the earth, for I uphold all things by Myself. But I am not striving with rebellious men anymore. For I am unfolding even more, as the days come, and their eyes will be opened whether they like it or not, whether they want it or not, and whether they are ready or not. For I warned and gave many years for men to turn to Me, and some did. Fewer allowed themselves to be broken and purged, and now they cannot come. For the hour of full travail has come. The breaking open has been initiated and now comes the harder choices."

"You have given what I told you to give over the years, and some listened and are now being birthed forth. Others are about to be, and others are coming into a state of readiness, as I have been bringing them through it. Each will be released in their stages."

"But the time of answering the call and coming to Me and of being purged, and for maturing as a vessel for My Use is past, for the greater darkness now comes. It is too late. The destroyer will reap, and great will be the outcry. I gave time to repent, and now it cannot be given anymore. The hour has begun and the black wind is beginning to blow. The black stream will flow unchecked. The black stream will flow alongside of the True, but who will know the difference between the two? You have seen it, and also have been persecuted for it, but the revelation is true and it comes. Men do not see what I see, it will not be as they think, but I will bring it forth suddenly."

"Go your way, and walk on. Do not carry the weights and expectations of others upon you anymore, and do not grieve, but only walk with My yoke upon you. For you are Mine, and I will set your pace and illuminate the way, as you listen for My Voice and obey it. My Sons and Daughters of Thunder will arise and utter My Voice, as they yield to Me, and I will roar in the earth. My Thunder and My Lightning will be heard and seen, as the black winds now increase and the darkness comes."

"I am awakening My hidden Vessels, and great will be the sound of the awakening, and the glorious company of the Righteous that now does My Will."

The Lord then lifted and the cloud ascended and I was sitting by the inside wall of the Tent again.

***I pray these revelations will encourage you, and strengthen you to follow His Voice, and to fully trust in Him.
