Journal Entry: Dream-Escape From Babylon
Date: 1-10-2010 – 3:30 AM
I saw a man sitting in a chair looking despondent when suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared before him. The man asked, “What are you here for?” The angel responded, “I am here to deliver you from the spirit of Babylon.”
The angel took the man by the hand and immediately they began to soar vertically at a high rate of speed into the air. I could hear demons moaning and shrieking as the angel carried the man upward while ascending through level after level of the demonic Babylonian kingdom.
As they climbed higher and higher I saw what appeared to be the top of a large dome made of reinforced concrete. The dome had rows of elongated slots which came to a point on the ends making the structure incredibly strong and prison-like. Each slot was filled with darkness and it was an impossible barrier to escape from- without the power of the angel to deliver the man. I heard the man say, “I didn’t even know I was in prison.” Then the dream ended.
I believe the man in the dream represented me being delivered from the religious system.

What spirit did the angel come to deliver the man from? It was the spirit of Babylon. The spirit of Babylon is the spirit which rules the world and the church system today. This includes all forms of religions which are made up of countless doctrines, creeds, separatism, denominations and non-denominational churches alike.
The word church in the Greek word ekklesia which basically means called out ones. It isn’t a church building, it’s believers in Christ.
Spiritual Babylon is the “institutional, organized” church system. In the church system people feel safe, sufficient, significant, assured, justified and secure. It gives forth status, position, reputation, security and identity to many all the while the institution itself grows in its power and importance. Many people depend on the church system for their livelihood, significance, preeminence, validation, power and recognition. The man in the dream was imprisoned by the system and didn’t even know it. This is the way millions of God-loving saints are today. They are imprisoned in a church system of man’s making and do not even realize it.
In fact, I find the comparison of prison and the church system very astute. Prison inmates are under the control of the warden’s rules and regulations just like the many people in the pews today are under the control of leadership’s rules and regulations of man’s own making. There is no freedom for the congregation in the church system today, just like there is no freedom for an inmate in prison. A prisoner doesn’t get to do anything unless someone “lets” him do it. I have heard leadership say, “let the people do this or let them do that.” The word “let” truly indicates control of the congregation and this shouldn’t be! If someone stays in prison long enough they become institutionalized. The same thing happens to people in the church system if they stay in it long enough. They become institutionalized or indoctrinated to what that particular church system believes.
I have watched the church system for sometime now with all of its organization, orchestration, formats which restrain the free flowing leading of Holy Spirit. However, I have upon a few occasions seen Holy Spirit move within in the confines of a man inspired church system. I had to know from God why Holy Spirit moves when He does.
Holy Spirit showed me a picture of a stake driven into the sand high up on a beach. There is was, a lone stake driven in the sand, far away from the surf. The stake represents the church system beliefs, what it is about, its creed, denomination, faith statement, doctrine, identity, etc. Then I was shown a picture of the ebb and tide of the ocean. The tide comes in and the tide goes back out, this cycle is repeated daily. Occasionally the surf is so stirred that the waves come up far enough to reach the stake only to eventually recede back out to sea. The Lord said, “I move upon my people like this in their personal time and occasionally during a meeting to soak them in My presence and to draw them unto Me, to teach them to follow after the ebb and tide of My Spirit. When I move on a congregation, I am not validating the church system as the religious think. I want to draw people out of it and unto Me, I want them to learn to follow the ebb and tide of My Spirit.”
scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.” Gen 11:3-5 NAS
When meditating about the dream of the angel delivering the man from Babylon, I asked the Lord if He had a scriptural example of what I had seen in the dream and immediately I was reminded of when Peter was in prison and the angel of the Lord appeared to deliver him. Once Peter was delivered from prison, he went to his fellowship made up of the people praying for him. What spirit was behind the imprisonment of Peter? Could the answer be the spirit of Babylon? Most certainly because the Babylonian spirit operates through the flesh (carnal man) and wants approval from man! Herod demonstrated both in Acts 12:1-3.
Observe the spirit of Babylon in operation in this verse:
”Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church (GK. ekklesia means “called out ones”), in order to mistreat them. And he had James the brother of John put to death with a sword. And when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also.” Acts 12:1-3 NAS
“For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” Rom 8:14-15 NAS
When I heard the Lord say to me a few months ago, “My bride comes not so much from the church as from the world,” I was somewhat taken back by this statement as to what He meant. I didn’t understand then what has now been made so clear to me now after much prayer, study and revelations.
The reason the bride must come out from the institutional church system is that the church system is incapable of preparing the bride of Christ. It can only institutionalize its congregants to be dependant upon the church system. In fact its interest is truly to grow the institution’s power and influence and not grow the people. In a recent Barna Group survey, 9 out of 10 pastors were surveyed and said that the church (system) was full of babies. However, each pastor commented that they had no babies in their own congregation.
The Babylonian spirit is a spirit that sets out to extinguish faith with false doctrine which leads man into works. For when faith dies there is no faith which leads people to ascend to God in their own way. It disrupts the plan and purposes of God by its influence of a non-God spirit.
The Babylonian spirit influences ministries to do works such as, let us build, let us make a name for ourselves, let us do great projects, let us be like God. It replaces the faith with works and does not follow nor seek the leading or direction of Holy Spirit.
The spirit of Babylon is found in the story of the Tower of Babel. “ And they said, “Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name; lest we be
“So Peter was kept in the prison, but prayer for him was being made fervently by the church to God. And on the very night when Herod was about to bring him forward, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains; and guards in front of the door were watching over the prison. And behold, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared, and a light shone in the cell; and he struck Peter’s side and roused him, saying, “Get up quickly.” And his chains fell off his hands. And the angel said to him, “Gird yourself and put on your sandals.” And he did so. And he said to him, “Wrap your cloak around you and follow me.” And he went out and continued to follow, and he did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. And when they had passed the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened for them by itself; and they went out and went along one street; and immediately the angel departed from him. And when Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent forth His angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.” And when he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John who was also called Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying.” Acts 12:5-12 NAS
Unlike the dream, Peter knew he was in prison but the man in the dream didn’t realize his imprisonment. Not knowing one is in prison is a far greater plight to a person because he is blind to his real circumstance.
It you are within the confines of the church system you need to stop and take “inventory” and weigh truthfully what has been written here before God and trust Him to show you truth. God has appointed some to work within in the confines of the church system for a season only for reasons known to God and the believer. Perhaps it is to observe and learn up close and personal what the church system is really about. My heart is for the people to be delivered from the prison of the church system and to be brought into a personal and intimate relationship in Jesus Christ.
“And as for you, the anointing which you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need for anyone to teach you; but as His anointing teaches you about all things, and is true and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you abide in Him.” 1 John 2:27-28 NAS
Bringing the bride of Christ out of the church system can only be done by the Spirit of the Lord because the church system is a stronghold in her mind through years of indoctrination. God has to take the church system out of the bride before she can ever be free and be presented to Christ as His bride.
By the revelation of the Lord, we are in the time in which the focus of the Lord is to “prepare” His bride. That’s it! Most in leadership of the church system won’t recognize the paradigm shift that has occurred in the Spirit, thus they will continue on in the confines of the system. As in the first century, the existing religious system (Pharisees, Sadducees, etc) didn’t recognize the time of the Lord’s visitation and so shall it be now.
The dream is a continuing theme which Holy Spirit keeps giving me to warn those who will listen and heed the warning of the committing adultery with the spirit of Babylon (church system). For more on this subject please read these articles. The Adulterous Church, The Preparation of the Bride Pt. 1 The Epoch, Jewels – My Bride, Vision of the Three Legged Donkey, Millions Will Perish.

“The Spirit and the bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who wishes take the water of life without cost.” Rev. 22:17
“I brought you through another year, I am faithful and true to My word. Be pleased in Me and know that all things work for your good because I have called you. In the midst of all the naysayers, doubters, scoffers and an obstinate generation, I do have some who blindly follow Me along the path I have chosen for them.
This is a quick and easy way to My glory even though to you it doesn’t seem easy or quick! The might of the Lord assures your safe arrival to the next destination in the Spirit; a level which is filled with intrigue, mystery and adventure. You say, “Lord what is all this about?” I tell you that the time of many mysteries are to be solved and it will play out as you seek Me. I will unveil even more than you can imagine.
Palaces are filled with the rich, powerful and influential people but they don’t have any influence with Me nor is their wealth impressive before Me. I say that the truly rich are the ones who pursue My heart and My ways with all sincerity. These are the ones that will inherit My Kingdom; never forget this.
The world you live in is upside down just as Satan has poisoned it with worldly thinking and worldly ways. This will blind all who pursue its wealth, its fame, its glory, come out of it all the more saints. Flee its influence for the day is soon coming when I will send forth My judgments upon the whole world and it’s evil. Submit unto Me, resist the Devil and he will flee from you; indeed he will.
Now you say, “I am ready to come closer this year, I am ready to come up higher in You Lord. I am weary of being where I am.” But I say My child come unto Me and I will show you that your victory and destiny lay in winning at the level you are at now for this is the mystery of contentment; the secret to being happy in all things says the Lord. Many saints want to hop from level to level as quickly as they can like in a Mario Brothers computer game, “Ha” I say, for life in Me isn’t that way. I’m in no hurry to see you gain levels, the next level only promises you more of the same. Am I not the same yesterday, today and tomorrow?
Here is the saint’s assignment in the coming year:
Come unto Me, forget your way, your understanding and come with a pure heart, with pure motives, come only to love Me and let Me love you. Come to My feet and weep and I will restore your soul, I will grant you the desires of your heart. My ways are not your ways so quit trying to figure Me out; you can’t! My ways are written in My word over and over again, My values have been clearly spoken. My plans for you are My plans are they not? So come to Me and I will begin to take you further along the journey into Me. Your destiny isn’t a place, your destiny is Me, I AM your destination. Just come unto your God and experience My depths and you will escape your world, your life and your understanding.
This is the year for the saints to ignore the world altogether. Why are you spending so much time in worry about a system that is passing away and passing away very soon? Don’t get involved in the debates. These things are better left to politicians, to leadership and to those whose steps are mired in that system.
For My people, I am opening up My Kingdom and giving access like never before, come and see if this isn’t true. My bride will begin to assemble herself in her courts; the court of My Presence. Her garden is empty of her presence at this moment, desolate, gray and flowerless, dry, dirty and contemptible because her garden is not kept.
But now I am calling her out from the world, from the harlotry that she is doing. I am calling her out of her playing and adultery with foreign spirits, unclean spirits, which have caused her devotion to Me to be small. Her shame is great, her values are not mine. Her priorities are not Mine nor is her heart and the lover she has chosen has done nothing but abuse her.
Now I say I am calling her out, I am moving upon her heart to set her free, I am calling her to Me. I am breaking the chains of her adultery, her addictions, and her fornications. I am calling her unto Me; to her garden, a chaste garden for only Me. I am calling her to her garden of preparation, for the Lord says, come to Me and I will give you garments of white linen to cover your nakedness and I will clean your heart, I will put My heart in you.
This is the year…Come!”

In fall of the year things go dormant. They change and evolve from life to deadness as it so seems to the casual observer, but life abounds in the tree absent of foliage. There is life even in death; for if only my people understood this. For there to be more life there has to be more death.
Now and going forward you will begin to come out of darkness into the light and see that truly it is day, a day like no other; for I am the one who molds and prepares the chosen few in the secret place.
Limelight is for the self-promoters who flail away trying to get to the top of their precedence. Little do they know that the mountain of prominence which they climb will soon be leveled by the breath of My mouth.
Come to Me. This is a time of great joy as I transition the body of Christ around to their places. You will see new faces appear that have My heart. A heart to follow Me to the end; the expected end that I have chosen and fashioned, a glorious end where I AM. Am I not the Omega, waiting for the culmination of the age? You are closer now that ever, closer now than most think.
Now, I say raise your voices and rejoice for I give you life, liberty and the ability to find happiness in Me.
For I AM Ever Faithful,
Your Loving Father

Update: – In the night after I published the blog below exposing the Dagon spirit, God allowed me to encounter the Dagon spirit as if to confirm its existenance and power.
Jounal Entry: 12/18/2009 1:15AM
I was in a dream where the spirit of Dagon was trying to over power the leadership and the saints. Dagon appeared to be suspended on the wall like a picture. When I passed by it I felt its power and I fought to resist it because it is powerful. Dagon can subdue nations, governments, religious minded souls and indeed wants to for the purpose of warring against God’s people. Right at the peak of resisting the spirit’s power I heard three powerfully loud knocks in the spirit that came from the direction of under my pillow, directly to my head, startling me awake at 1:15 AM. I had just been rescued and defended by Holy Spirit from the power of Dagon. The reason behind this is I just released a new blog exposing the Dagon spirit and it is obvious that the evil Dagon didn’t like it. This isn’t the first time I’ve encountered a ruler spirit. They rule over cities, regions or nations and each encounter has ended with Holy Spirit coming to my aid. I love Holy Spirit!
The Spirit of Dagon
I received a phone call from a brother in Christ one afternoon; he named a preacher and wanted to know what I knew about him. I told the brother that I didn’t know anything about the preacher nor had I heard of him, but I would check and see what he was preaching and let him know if it seemed safe to listen to him.
I searched YouTube and quickly found his sermon part 1-8 on the “Ecstasy of God.” I began watching and listening as the man took terminology of the drug / alcohol world and incorporated it into his sermon. Repeatedly he demonstrated that “if you do this” or “you do that” in your spiritual walk with Holy Spirit you would “get high and God would promote you to the next level in the supernatural presence of God.” He used terms like the godka of God, the Crown Royal, the Jehovajuanna, Ecstasy of God, drunken glory of God and so forth in his message. As he taught, he walked around acting like he was high on God.
The large auditorium where he was preaching appeared to be filled with many young people who were taking notes and listening intently as he carried on and on with his drug phrased preaching. He mentioned many well known classic saints from the 1600s who had many supernatural experiences but failed to mention that their experiences came out of the death of self and an enduring love relationship with Jesus Christ. Such saints as Brother Lawrence, Madame Guyon, Saint John of the Cross and Saint Teresa of Ávila were not seeking an experience; they were deeply in a love relationship with Jesus Christ. The preacher’s message glorifies the seeking of God for the experience rather than seeking God for relationship.
It was very disturbing to me and I began to ask God to show me what spirit was behind this man’s preaching. After continued persistence to understand, while in quiet time the next morning, I heard the Lord say one word, “Dagon!”
It is the spirit of Dagon; Dagon was the principal deity of the Philistines and was imported to the region from Babylon. What Dagon looked like is truly not known to us today nor is it important; however, what the Dagon represents does matter. Dagon was primarily worshiped in Gaza and Ashkelon regions as the God of war. This region was known to have many giants in it. The spirit of Dagon is at war with the saints and wants to subdue the holy things of God.
“Now the lords of the Philistines assembled to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice, for they said, “Our god has given Samson our enemy into our hands.” Judg 16:23 NAS
“ The Philistines took the ark of God and brought it to the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. When the Ashdodites arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD. So they took Dagon and set him in his place again. But when they arose early the next morning, behold, Dagon had fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of the LORD. And the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off on the threshold; only the trunk of Dagon was left to him. Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor all who enter Dagon’s house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.” 1 Sam 5:2-5 NAS
The Philistines captured the ark of God and placed it in a submissive place in their temple of worship before Dagon as a gratitude offering and as proof their god was greater than the Hebrew God. God showed the Philistines that their god Dagon couldn’t stand over Him. God will not be manipulated by man; God will not be subservient to man’s will or his desire. God will not be reduced to a crazed drug culture comparison of being bonged out into drunken glory all the time.
The presence of God is wonderful. A new believer will encounter it for the first time and their flesh may shake, spasm or fall-out during the experience. However, the more time one spends soaking in the presence of the Lord, the more adjusted you become, in other words, the anointing that knocked me down yesterday will not knock me down today. How can we ever minister under a strong anointing if we are prone to falling-out or rolling on the floor? When we come into the presence of the Lord, we should be eternally changed. God can over power any human with His unveiled holiness; just read the book of Daniel to get an idea.
Dan 8:17
“So he came near to where I was standing, and when he came I was frightened and fell on my face.”
Dan 8:27
“ Then I, Daniel, was exhausted and sick for days. Then I got up again and carried on the king’s business; but I was astounded at the vision, and there was none to explain it.” NAS
Know that yesterday’s miracle; yesterday’s manifestation doesn’t carry me through today trials and tribulations. I must have a real relationship with Him and a fresh anointing of grace each day to fulfill what he has called me to do. I love the tangible presence of God but I don’t seek God for it. I seek God because I want to be known of Him and have an intimate relationship with Him.
Matt 7:22-23
”Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness.’”
There are many false and counterfeit anointings in the world. Some pulpits are occupied by imposters who preach under a false anointing and do not lead people to a relationship with Christ but rather to themselves and the church system. How can they lead someone to a place they haven’t been themselves?
In my early days after repenting and rededicating my life to Christ, I experienced His Holy anointing that would settle on me so heavily that it was awkward for me to stand at times. These experiences came out of an ever-growing, intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, not from seeking the experience. He was washing me, He was soaking me in His love, He was filling me full of His Holy anointing and immersing me in the Holy Spirit.
These experiences weren’t about growing in Christ as much as establishing a love relationship with the holiness of Christ. It was out of the excitement of getting to know Jesus that these experiences kept coming on me. After a period of several months the season ended and God began to grow me up in the things of Christ. I would never mature in the things of Christ if I was seeking Him for the feelings of His presence. He purposely will remove them to teach us to walk by faith and not by our feelings.
We mustn’t seek experiences or the “high” but we seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and then all these things are added unto us. To seek God for any reason, other than to know Him and be known of Him, is no different than the crowd who followed Jesus for the fish and loaves.
Matt 6:33-34
“But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added to you. Therefore do not be anxious for tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” NAS
Dagon is the spirit behind this man’s teaching and yet I can honestly say that I felt a sincere love for the man who was preaching. He did not set out to deliberately deceive people, in all honesty and truthfulness, he is deceived himself. He has been beguiled by the spirit of Dagon and doesn’t even know it. Deceived people don’t know they’re deceived, if they knew, well they wouldn’t be deceived. The Merriam Webster dictionary defines deceived as, “to cause to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid.” We need to pray that his eyes be opened to truth and that Satan’s kingdom no longer blinds him from the truth.
The Dagon spirit is at war against God and His saints and wants to take them captive. It is fleshly, sensual and filled with the acts of human accomplishments. This Dagon spirit wants to make Holy Spirit respond to the believer based on seeking the experience just like an addict which seeks to get high from taking a drug. An addict isn’t seeking relationship with a drug but only to get high. I don’t doubt the man is under the influence and is feeling high but the high is not coming from Holy Spirit but from the Dagon spirit.
Unfortunately, in these last days many false teachers will emerge in the body of Christ. They will most likely have had a history of teaching sound doctrine, but now due to impure motives and unresolved character issues, they have been deceived by false a anointing.
False Teachers -
“But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves. And many will follow their sensuality, and because of them the way of the truth will be maligned; and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.” 2 Peter 2: 1-4
“ For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires; and will turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths. But you, be sober in all things, endure hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry.” 2 Tim 4:3-6 NAS
Deception –
“ See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.” Col 2:8 NAS
“ And then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truthso as to be saved. And for this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they might believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness.” 2 Thess 2:8-12 NAS
“But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them; and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for every good work.” 2 Tim 3:13-17 NAS
“ To the pure, all things are pure; but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure, but both their mind and their conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but by their deeds they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient, and worthless for any good deed”. Titus 1:15-16 NAS
I pray you will be studying the word and praying for discernment in the things of God.
Be Blesses In Your Service To Him,

Sunday morning I entered quiet time with a heavy heart, He had been quiet for so long. I needed to hear from Him and asked the Lord, “What have I done that so offends you? Are you not still my Lord? Do you not still have my heart?”
Then the word of the Lord came to me saying, “Come let us reason together, for I have graced you in many ways and indeed you truly walk in them. Although it isn’t understood by many, my paths are difficult to tread, even on a good day.
Breezes blow and then they’re gone. In the wind there is hope for a season of change. Light will once again shine upon you from out of the darkness; you will come to see more light. Dark times are necessary to teach you to appreciate the good things of life all the more; few can truly understand this principal. For to be able to see light and glory and hope while in the darkest of times, will be essential in the days ahead. It is vital to have “hope” when it appears to be hopeless.
Trust in Me and I will deliver you from the hands of those who are at odds with you, they are as a vapor to Me and will not stand in truth before Me. Between now and tomorrow I will deliver you from them. It will occur and the wind will cover your face. Let the word settle in your heart.
I am able to deliver you. I have a plan. I have a purpose. Come let us reason together. Light comes to you in the darkness. Light covers you in darkness. It is the way of the Lord.” -Journal Entry End –
When my wife and I entered this season of walking blindly in the darkness, it just seemed crazy to think of God and to think of darkness. What was God saying to us…see in the dark!?
His Glory -
“Clouds and thick darkness surround Him; Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. Ps 97:2 NAS
“He bowed the heavens also, and came down
With thick darkness under His feet.
And He rode upon a cherub and flew;
And He sped upon the wings of the wind.
He made darkness His hiding place,
His canopy around Him,
Darkness of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
From the brightness before Him passed His thick clouds,” Ps 18:9-12 NAS
After entering into this season of testing, while in my quiet time, my eyes were closed and I was meditating on Him. I saw a dark shadow in a robe, shaped like the Lord, slowly pass between my head and the lamp sitting on the table to the right of my chair. After He passed, I opened my eyes and saw nothing nor did I sense anything there. I believe it was God showing me that His glory and presence can be as thick as darkness.
Then the LORD said, ‘Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand there on the rock; and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by. Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen.’” Ex 33:21-23 NAS
“Then Solomon said, “The LORD has said that He would dwell in the thick cloud. I have surely built Thee a lofty house, a place for Thy dwelling forever.” 1 Kings 8:12-13 NAS
“I will go before you and make the rough places smooth; I will shatter the doors of bronze, and cut through their iron bars. I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden wealth of secret places, in order that you may know that it is I, The LORD, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name.” Isa 45:2-3 NAS
Our God is ever teaching those who will follow Him in truth, new dimensions of Himself. Paul’s prayer in Ephesians 1:17 “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him.”
I pray this often, and I like it when God is revealing more knowledge of Him to me in dreams, visions and prophecies. I like serving God when His glory and His tangible presence are upon me. I like it when He seems so near to me and the anointing of God is so strong that I feel purposed in Him for great things. Who wouldn’t love that?
However, God wants us to see another side of Him that is vital for the days and the years ahead and it is vital for the Bride of Christ to arm herself with this knowledge. God wants us to learn about seeing Him in the darkness. I know what you’re thinking that God is light and there is no darkness in Him, which is true but I’m talking about finding Him in the trials, insults, distresses, persecutions and in the most difficult of times, in the delay, in everything! We must learn to see God where He can’t easily been seen. As it is said, “There is an appointed time for everything, and there is a time for every event under heaven.” Eccl 3:1 NAS
Paul wrote, “Therefore I am well content with weaknesses, with insults, with distresses, with persecutions, with difficulties, for Christ’s sake; for when I am weak, then I am strong.” 2 Cor 12:10 NAS
“Not that I speak from want; for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am in. I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need. I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” Phil 4:11-13 NAS
Paul said I have learned the “secret,” …which was seeing God in the darkness! He could see God when in abundance or when suffering need or filled and going hungry, he was content because he knew how God saw it, He allowed it.
Its human nature to want things to be easy, but God knows that isn’t the best thing for us. How can we learn to trust God unless we are placed into situations where we (or anyone else) are unable to deliver us? Years ago, I was in the attic of our home, when my eye caught some weight lifting equipment lying on the floor. I heard Holy Spirit say, “It’s the resistance that makes you strong.”
God allows the darkness to come with the trials and the testing. Jesus told Peter that Satan had demanded permission to test him and it appears that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit agreed it was a good idea. Peter was tested, and even denied Jesus, but He had already prayed for Peter’s faith not to fail.
“Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has demanded permission to sift you like wheat; but I have prayed for you, that your faith may not fail; and you, when once you have turned again, go and strengthen your brothers.” Luke 22:31-33 NAS
When I asked, Lord how do we learn to see You in the darkness? He reminded me that the human eye must acclimate when going from light to dark or visa versa in order for us to be able to see. During times of adjustment, we are helpless and feel vulnerable until our eyes have fully accustomed to the situation. Fear desires to grab hold of us when we can’t see. The correct thing for us to do is to walk blindly and to trust the fact that your steps are aligned with God and knowing that He sees clearly.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will overwhelm me,
And the light around me will be night,”
Even the darkness is not dark to Thee,
And the night is as bright as the day.
Darkness and light are alike to Thee.” Ps 139:11-12 NAS
Thinking too Much -
Don’t think too much, it is possible to think ourselves right out of the plan of God. God is working on our behalf whither we realize it or not and regardless if it’s day or night. When we are in the period of darkness, God is working.
Find Contentment -
When we are in the darkness, we must become content with the darkness of unknowing and obscurity. We must learn to walk in pure child-like faith, relying on the Father and the fact that He is extremely aware of our plight. Eventually we will move from unknowing to knowing. We don’t have to understand why, we just have to believe!
The Purpose –
I believe that God is preparing people to train the bride of Christ. In order to properly undertake this responsibility, we must be purged, purified and refined just as the bride of Christ will be. The darkness and its process is part of God’s greater plan. The darkness is full of tilts, of topsy-turvy and of rollercoaster events which are meant to bring the believer into a place of insight, humility, and child-like faith. The darkness is cleansing and gives us the ability to see God in the darkest of times. The coming years will be full of darkness and the greatest of evil is at the threshold of time now. Revelation 12: 7-14 (War in Heaven).
Many church leaders around the world are reporting that the things in ministry that used to work are no longer working. Many ministries are struggling to make sense of it all. Attendance and offerings are down and the ones who are coming to church are perplexed as well. All the programs, sermons, praise songs, offerings, etc, aren’t able to keep people in church today. Many in leadership are frustrated and are making the mistake of brainstorming for new ideas to keep the people from leaving. They fail to recognize there has been a paradigm shift in the Spirit and that is the “Preparation of the Bride” has begun. The answer (insight) will be found when the church goes through a great period of darkness.
“And some of those who have insight will fall, in order to refine, purge, and make them pure, until the end time; because it is still to come at the appointed time.” Dan 11:35 NAS
And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time. Many will be purged, purified and refined; but the wicked will act wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand”. Dan 12:9-10 NAS
I pray this brings as much healing to you as writing it has to me.
Be Blessed In Him,
Bro. Bill Nelson

On March 2008, while I was in quiet time with the Lord, I suddenly saw myself in a vision. In this vision, I ran forward with my right arm raised up high and was holding a spear in my hand. I built up great momentum as I paced my steps like a javelin thrower while getting ready to release the spear at the exact moment with maximum power.
As I looked to my immediate right I saw a muscled-up Olympian athlete running beside me mimicking my every motion. He was the most ripped up, powerful athlete I had ever seen. His right arm was raised as he paced his steps carrying a spear just like mine. As I released my spear, the Olympian released the spear he was carrying with a mighty thrust.
However, I saw one spear going out from me headed into total darkness and heard a powerful metallic sound “whing-ching,” as the spear divided into hundreds of spears with such force. The spears hurriedly flew off into the darkness of the vision. I said, “No one could resist such a weapon!” The vision ended.
A day later my wife was sitting in her office on a Sunday afternoon and calmly said to me, “I believe you’re to start a blog.” I knew her anointing, I knew her walk with God and I trust her explicitly in these matters. (She’s able to recommend a book for someone, and the reader will know she’s heard God in the matter. She’s done it for me many times over the years.) So, when she said this about me creating a blog I began immediately to seek God as to what the blog should be about. I sensed I was to write about the supernatural side of God, which so many want to know more about and so little is truly written on it. So that is how “Walking In The Supernatural” came into being.
A year later I still didn’t know the meaning of the vision. I thought of it often and kept seeking God for the meaning but had no understanding. I am confident if I ask God for understanding about a matter, He will answer me at some point in time and He will tell me what He wants me to know. He does this because He wants us to know His secrets, He shares secrets with His friends but not His servants (slaves).
”No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.” John 15:15
“Call to Me and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” Jer. 33:3
About a year after this vision, while writing a blog, God revealed to me the meaning of the vision with the spear. The vision of the spear represents this blog; it was God’s certification for me to write the blog. He knows I don’t want to do things just for the sake of doing them, I want God to show me what He wants me to do and then do it with all my heart.
For the blog, God gives me dreams, visions, prophecy, revelation or I pull from my journal and events from my past which I feel inspired to write about. When I publish an article it goes into all the Earth. Each blog is read by hundreds of people, which is represented by the spear (whing-chinging) multiplying into hundreds of spears. Today, Walking In The Supernatural is read by people in all nations around the world, God is faithful and yes God is Supernatural!
In Christ Name,

In a dream, I was riding a small motorcycle (250cc) which was light, agile and able to turn on a dime; It could go slow are really fast. It seemed odd to me being on it such a small bike, almost uncomfortable, since I am accustomed to riding larger Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
I was cruising downtown one of the main streets, made a right turn and on the left corner of the street was a large, stone church with a massive columned porch with many stone steps leading up to the door. There was a large church choir wearing scarlet robes and were assembled on the steps. They were singing proudly as they stood in a stoic posture.
The pastor of the church was wearing a plan gray suit as he walked up and down in the middle of the street in front of the church and preaching his sermon. He was manipulating his voice, breathing and snorting out the words, it seemed so phony and was a big turn-off to many. I thought of all the preachers that preach in this manner. I drove by really slow trying to sense any anointing coming from this great display of religion and there was absolutely none, I sped on down the road.
I looked behind me and saw a one-ton truck pulling a flatbed trailer loaded with lumber, I sped up to keep it from running over me. I made a sharp a left turn onto a side street so fast that the keys in the ignition of the motorcycle flew out into the air landing inside of another church located on the right side of the street.
I got off the bike and walked in the church to find my keys. I looked down the left side aisle which was overflowing with people sitting in chairs, most of them were teenagers. I didn’t see my keys there so I went around the center aisle, looked into the back pews into an unoccupied area.
Here, a preacher was speaking to the congregation and his annunciation of words was like that of the other preacher I had just left. He would speak a short sentence, and then suck air back in gathering his breath as he held the microphone close to his mouth so you could hear the fervor in his voice. Each sentence ended with him adding “hah” and “ehh”. He’d practiced his technique for years and now had truly mastered it. The people seemed to be impressed by him, mistaking his technique as inspired by God. As I listened, I continued my focus on finding the key to my motorcycle.
I spotted my keys in the unoccupied seats in the next to last row of pews. I reached down and picked them up, turned to leave only to see the preacher standing right in front of me. He was much shorter than me, an unhandsome man with a round face and bad complexion.
I knew he wanted to say something to me but he just stood there staring up at me. Feeling awkward, I stuck out my hand and introduced myself to him. We shook hands and he introduced himself with the name of a very famous preacher, yet I knew he wasn’t that preacher. Then he told me what his father’s name was and said, “Maybe you’ve heard of Him? He’s going to give me a congregation someday.” I turned and walked away and said in disgust, “That is just what we need…another congregation.”
Meaning:
These men were imposters; the word “Imposter” means: One who assumes false identity or title for the purpose of deception.
Imposters are no more than performers and they lead their church with great emotional sermons that have no long lasting impact on the lives of the hearers. Men like these are occupying a place reserved for only the God seeking, God fearing minister. Many (thousands) of pulpits are occupied by people who aren’t appointed.
The dream represents what the church (organized religion) has become today. They are self-serving and without a true anointing from God. Sadly, they are no more than hirelings.
“He who is a hired hand, and not a shepherd, who is not the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep and flees, and the wolf snatches them and scatters {them.} “{He flees} because he is a hired hand and is not concerned about the sheep. JN 10:12-13
There are many preachers who operate in a false anointing. They get in the pulpit and preach away, all the while their walk with God is superficial if not non-existent. They have evolved the church system into a business in every sense of the word. Many in leadership make decisions based on how it will affect the business side of their church more that what God wants, if God’s direction is sought at all. The imposters are more interested in making a name for themselves in building a bigger business and expanding their business so they look successful rather than focusing on God’s Kingdom purposes. Read The Adulterous Church
The people are the Lord’s sheep, they’re not the property of a pastor and they must be treated that way; Jesus Christ is their pastor. Their lives are not to be controlled by any man or should anyone in leadership usurp (commandeer) authority over them in a controlling manner.
“For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.” Jude v.4
“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy and say to those shepherds, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD, “Woe, shepherds of Israel who have been feeding themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flock? “You eat the fat and clothe yourselves with the wool, you slaughter the fat {sheep} without feeding the flock. “Those who are sickly you have not strengthened, the diseased you have not healed, the broken you have not bound up, the scattered you have not brought back, nor have you sought for the lost; but with force and with severity you have dominated them.” Ezk. 32-2-4

I dreamed that my wife and I were standing in the foyer of a country style restaurant, facing the double entrance door. Michelle Obama and another lady, whom I recognized as a past acquaintance, entered the doors and walked up to me. I said, “I would like to ask you a question in private if I may?” She responded with, “Let me pick out a private table where we can talk.” She led us to a totally empty section, selected a table and sat down directly across from me. The woman, which accompanied Ms. Obama was a former business acquaintance which had a Jezebel spirit, she sat down across from my wife.
Right in the middle of an empty country style restaurant the stage was set. Then Ms. Obama said, “What is your question?” I said, “If it can be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that North Korea did this terrorist act, will President Obama do anything about it?”
Her countenance changed, she got an angry look on her face as well as her companion, the woman with the Jezebel spirit. I waited for her answer as their facial expressions indicated growing anger and intimidation for my asking such a question! The power of a Jezebel spirit brings intimidation and an ever increasing intensity of the Jezebel spirit attempt to stare a person down. They did everything they could to make us feel uncomfortable, but we waited quietly for her response.
Michelle Obama didn’t have the answer to the question, she knew the President probably wouldn’t do anything decisive to retaliate against the North Koreans. The dream ended there but it is a revealing and a foretelling of some interesting issues.
The first issue is that the dream prophetically reveals that she is under the control of a Jezebel spirit.
The second issue is that it’s highly possible that North Korea is planning to attack this nation with a terrorist act.
The third issue is that President Obama will not act decisively enough or perhaps at all when he is tested by a nation that truly wants to destroy us. In the dream, I felt sad for our nation. Appeasement to rogue nations will never bring peace, it will only incite them to do more evil acts against us. They perceive the President as weak and untested, and he will be tested.
People can be delivered from the Jezebel spirit as prayers are made on their behalf and as that spirit is spoken against and commanded to stop manifesting itself in the person. People who have this spirit operating in their life don’t even realize it because often they have been this way since their youth. We as believers need to pray God will move upon the Obama’s hearts and that they will surrender to His leadership.
Bro. Bill Nelson
This dream was submitted by Andrew which I believe is a prophetic for what God will do if we will pray for our first family and nation.
6/18/2009 – Dream
There was this lady preaching on circle platform seemingly like a preacher. Barack Obama and his wife Michelle were in the audience in front of her standing up in the first row of people. The lady started violently praying over them with a microphone. Barack opened his arms and hands, closed his eyes as if he was receiving. Then the lady, who looked like Michelle, started praying over Michelle. She was getting hit by the power of God. The lady started praying for Michelle to receive wisdom. She started getting hit with the power of God so strongly that she couldn’t stand and men had to balance her from falling backward. She seemed to be desperate to receive from God. Then the lady looked in my direction as I was viewing the dream. She said something like, “Church, that’s what we need – Wisdom!”

It is said, that in the Great Plains, animals and people went missing and perished during the Easter Sunday Blizzard of 1873. Thousands of head of livestock were lost in central Nebraska, the largest relative amount of any blizzard. Most of the newly planted produce and trees died from the storm, wildlife was also greatly affected. After the storm the bodies of dead deer, antelope, and other animals were scattered over the prairie. Dead birds were found everywhere. Live prairie chickens were seldom seen in Adams County after this blizzard. It is not known how many settlers left after the blizzard never to return.
After that gruesome and devastating event, farmers at the first sign of a blizzard, fearing a whiteout, the possibility of vanishing and/or a slow death, would tie a rope from the backdoor of the house out to the barn. Each and every person remembered people who had wandered off and been frozen having lost sight of home while still in their own backyards.
Undoubtedly, we all face times when we feel, it’s just all too much! There were several times in my life just like that, things that used to work for me just didn’t work anymore, desires I used to have, seemingly faded away. The people I had grown to know and depend upon, well I didn’t anymore. Deeply planted roots in my life were being plucked up one by one at a very fast pace. The person I used to be I wasn’t anymore. All in all, I was lost and uncomfortable and I just wanted my old life back!
Four Separate Journal Entries:
Lord, it seems as if I’ve lost my purpose and meaning, it was there and then it was gone, how did I lose it? I feel so heavy, help me Father to hold on to and accept the plans You have for me. I heard my Father say, “Lay all the burdens that cause you to feel stressed or worried on the altar today and take a mental vacation.”
Who am I?!? That’s what I’m really wondering and I see my loved one’s wondering the same thing. Plain and simple – I’ve lost my identity. I feel like a sad faced clown in the circus; I should be happy and free yet truthfully, I’m sad and lost and it feels as if I’m merely putting on a good face for those who love me so they won’t be in pain over my feeling “lost.” Lord, I will rest in You until the dark passes and new Light comes. Don’t let me miss whatever this is about and I give You permission to work in me Your perfect will.
Lord, I’m lost in an unknown land! Let it be that when I’m found again, I won’t come back the same person as I was when I went “missing.” Change my life, change me, give me what I really want, not what I think I want. You know what’s best for me, You know Your will for me. I remain still, quiet and listening while I’m under the knife.
Holy Spirit told me today, “I’m putting down good, firm roots for you, you’re safe and secure in Me and in this place and time in your life. Keep your eyes on Me and you’ll not be blown away or felled over. These roots go down deep and are powerful and strong. Once you had roots, then for awhile you knew that you had none and how vulnerable and lost you felt. But I tell you it’s a new day and roots you shall have and these roots shall establish you and secure you.”
When you find yourself LOST in your own backyard, don’t die in the storm! Don’t lose sight of your Heavenly home, don’t pack up and leave or wander off! Tie your rope to Him, for He is able to save your soul. I gently advise you to bear the following in mind:
Keep hope,
Be joyful always,
Pray continually,
Give thanks in all circumstances,
Don’t lose heart,
Think on things above,
Peace is the will of God for you in every situation.
You can’t protect yourself, it is God alone who protects you so stop struggling, do not try to stop the pain, take a deep breath and be at peace, for this too shall pass.
I leave you with a quote from one of my strong and faithful mentors, St John of the Cross. “Do not forget that the purpose of your journey is to be with God – an audience of one with The One. For the riches and the glory you seek are with Him, not where you have been looking,”
Be Blessed,
Jae Nelson

I heard the Lord say, “The greatest changes are happening now.” Then I picked up my journal and He began to speak.
Give unto Me your up most attention now. Focus your mind on the things of God and you will rest in peace in the steadfastness of the Lord. For a great shaking is about to come upon the whole world, as a sieve you will be tossed about, but if you cling to Me you will not fall through the basket but will be the most prize choice harvest of the Lord.
Who is to say the Lord will do it this way or the Lord will do it that way? I tell you few of My people truly hear My voice and even fewer speak what I truly say. I am cleaning My house and restoring My house and I will have a people, a bride suitable for My Son, the bridegroom, to marry.
Make Me big in your life. Purify yourself. Your ways must become My ways and your heart must be single to Me. If you do these things you will stand before Me as Mine in whom I am well pleased.
Now cast aside all encumbrances, weights, sin and come and follow Me for I will take you to the High Mountain of the Lord. The highest of the Holy place and you will make your abode with Me forever. Indeed I come for a bride who is without spot, wrinkle or blemish. She is adorned with all beauty and loves Me with all her heart.
Now be of good cheer for the things you’ll discover along the journey will bring you into realms of My glory never imagined by man even to this day.
Church, you have much to discover about Me, much to learn. Now come, head your lives My way. Come, the Lord says come.
Bill Nelson
