Last March God visited me with a very profound prophetic dream. I posted twice on injesus called 'Guarding Flame'. To read these posts visit:

Flame Of Revival Lakeland Florida

Prophetic dreams can have many levels and layers of meanings. God has been releasing even more revelation and understanding of my ‘guarding flame’ dream since my previous postings.
Sadly, in the midst of a great revival, a great ‘war’ has been also been simultaneously launched against ‘Flame’, and those who were entrusted to her care. In my dream the car we were driving was stopped and searched by demonic creatures, and we had to quickly move Flame to a place of safety. These demonic creatures searched our car from top to bottom, and even searched our trunk.
Three words can be used to describe the reasons for this ‘war’: jealousy, and a critical, religious spirit. The enemy has successfully used fear tactics such as ‘being deceived by false prophets’ and lying signs and wonders to discredit what God is doing. It seems like even well known Christians have been on a kind of witch hunt, in the name of ‘discernment’ to find any kind of dirty laundry in order to discredit all associated with Todd Bentley and the Lakeland revival.
Jesus said ‘narrow’ is the way that leads to salvation. (Matthew 7:14)
I think this is perhaps a warning for all those involved with the revival in Lakeland, leaders as well as those of us who are applauding and rejoicing with what is happening. We have to choose to take the NARROW way. We cannot get caught up FIGHTING unnecessarily with the enemy, even constantly debating in the flesh, that we loose sight of ‘Flame’; we must GUARD her carefully! The enemy would like to distract us by getting into one on one combat with each other, and thus contributing to the civil war in the church many have so wisely prophesied about.
In my dream ‘Flame’ was a child. She was not yet mature in stature. She was tender and needed protecting. I believe true revival is not yet mature, we have only just seen the beginning of the greater revival God has planned! Yet, it is OUR responsibility as the church to GUARD Flame. How good of a job are we doing? Are we nurturing, training her, building her up, or are we verbally abusing and criticizing her?
If this is revival is truly a move of God, (which I do believe it is) there is no need to DEFEND it! It grieves me when I see even the speakers at the revival using up valuable time (that could be used for ministering to the sick) during the meeting ‘striking back’ at critics or attempting to ‘defend’ what God is doing. There is certainly a place and a need for speaking ‘truth’ but, but we have to be careful and use wisdom, for the tactics of the enemy are very subtle. The world is watching…and they will know we are Christians by our love. If all they see is fighting, what will they think?
In my dream ‘FLAME’ was a very humble, quiet and meek child. She simply went about her work of quietly transforming lifeless objects into flaming jewels. She did not raise her voice or defend her work. There was no need to do so. Her miraculous works spoke quite well for themselves!
Now I, Paul, myself am pleading with you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ--who in presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you. 2 But I beg you that when I am present I may not be bold with that confidence by which I intend to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. 3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ

The Doors Of His Heart

Jul 14, 2008
Two weeks ago my husband and I attended the outpouring meeting in Denton Texas. 10,000 worshipping saints brought the glory of God! Whew!
During the meeting I had a vision. I saw His heart, and what looked like many successive doors, each with a lock on them. Saints were passing thru each door, one at a time. Each door got successively smaller and narrower.
God spoke theses verses n my spirit: "I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture" John 10:9: "...Narrow is the way that leads to salvation" Matthew 7:14.
As we journey on our walk with the Lord, He will ask more and more of us. He says to us 'will you go deeper into the chambers, the recesses of My heart today? Deeper than you have ever gone before?"
Often this requires sacrifice, often dying to ourselves, laying down our own lives. Often the farther down the road of the journey through His heart, the MORE he will ask of us, the more He will require. This involves not asking not our will be done, but THY will be done. The final act of Jesus was the ultimate decision to die on the cross, when in agony he prayed this very thing in the garden: 'let this cup pass from me, but nonetheless, not my will but YOURS"...
In my vision I saw some saints who were 'stuck' between the doors. They had stopped on their journey progressing deeper thru the doors of His heart, that ultimately lead to the Kings deepest chambers. I was grieved.
He said to me: "ONLY do you find SAFE pastures when you go through Me, through MY doors, in these pastures only will you find true peace and comfort, and clear conscience. For in these 'safe' pastures you will not only find My rest, but also I will truly hedge and hem you in."
Oh Lord, take us deeper into you heart! Help us choose the NARROW way, help us lay all aside for the joy of going into the depths of your heart!
THY kingdom come, THY will be done, on earth (IN ME!) as it is in heaven. Let your kingdom coming on earth begin with ME, today!
