"Ascending the Ladder and the Preparations to Come Vision 5-8-12" I
was lying upon my hotel bed when I saw myself in the Spirit climbing my
familiar long white ladder into the heavenlies. As I waited at the top
of the ladder, my fiery eagle came flying by and I got onto its back and
he flew off with me riding upon him. We then began to fly upward into a
swirling massive whirlwind, steadily climbing higher and higher, till
we reached a heavenly summit. At the top was a platform and I saw that
there were also many other platforms just like mine all across the
heavenlies above the globe. Many other people had also climbed their
ladders and had ridden upon their eagles to the top of the summit too.
Their platforms were all in the heavens and each had their individual
landing area designated for them to come and go from. I looked, and an
angel was waiting for me to follow him. I walked over to him and we then
went to an area where there were many others waiting. We were led to an
open, circular, arena-like area. The seats were stacked in tiers much
like our stadiums on earth would be and we all took a seat nearest to
us. Our seats formed a circle around a platform below us. In the midst
of the platform was a model of the earth that was spinning in the air
above the platform. Off to the side of that was a large screen that was
attended by an angel. Whatever was shown on the model of the earth would
also be projected and amplified onto the screen so that all of us could
see what was being shown on the globe. The attending angel was speaking
and was pointing to various points on the globe. He then would transmit
the info onto the screen and it would be seen by us who were sitting in
the seats above. -Then I was transported to another scene. I
saw an angel dressed partially in mail and also in silver plated armor,
with a thin silver band upon his forehead and he had long blond hair to
his shoulders. He had suntanned looking skin. He was very regal looking
but also very resolute in his gaze. He was measuring me as I noticed
him. He had a long handled spear-like instrument in one hand and his
other hand was resting at his side. He seemed to be pleased to see me. I
waited for him to speak. He finally spoke after a few minutes. He said,
"I am a Preparation Angel, and my job is to prepare you and the Body of
Christ for the things just ahead of you. There is much more that is
about to break forth upon the earth and the majority of the People of
God are not prepared for these things sufficiently enough. I am here to
hasten your preparation." As
he spoke, my mind raced to think of what we have or haven't done yet. I
saw that he stopped speaking when I was thinking these things and he
sternly looked at me. I abruptly stopped and made myself focus more upon
his words. He nodded and continued. "You are all experiencing
breakthroughs in this season upon the earth, and this must increase. But
you must also realize that when breakthrough and changes come, so also
do the corresponding effects of those changes and breakthroughs. For
every spiritual event or movement, there is a natural effect. For every
natural event or movement, there is a spiritual effect. Many are being
caught up in the freedom of their breakthroughs, which is a joyous time
for them and it is to be rightly enjoyed; but too many are relaxing and
are becoming lazy in their prayers and watchfulness, so much so that
they are not alert to the nearing of the corresponding effects that are
soon to be upon them. Some of these effects are good because every good
thing produces good fruit. But this will also bring forth much upheaval
from the enemy who is seeking retribution and retaliation because of
your progress and achievements in the realm of the Spirit and in the
earth. You are not to be alarmed at this knowledge I bring to you, but
you are to be fore-armed for and with this knowledge. I have come to
prepare you and to arm you for the battles ahead." "You
have been given the right to fight in the battle for the harvest and
for the fields of the world. Many are being faithful as they labor and
many have fought bravely as they have learned to stand their ground and
to advance as they grow proficient in the use of their new weapons they
have been learning to use. But there also has been a degree of self
confidence that has set in within their hearts, and that has begun to
undermine their dependence upon Christ in the battles, and so they have
weakened without knowing it, and are in danger of falling to the
temptations that are coming shortly. The enemy sees this and is setting
up his ambushments. You must focus your faith upon Christ alone, and not
in yourself or in your achievements or spiritual successes. It is right
to rejoice as you gain ground, but you must never forget that it is by
His Grace that you stand and it is by His Power that you prevail. Many
are not attentive in their prayers and have not been building themselves
up in prayer before the Lord. You must strengthen yourself in your
inner man, and draw from Christ your daily portion and much needed
wisdom. You are entering a time of testing for all nations, and you must
build your endurance and patience upon Him to continue to advance." "I
am here to help His People to focus their faith upon Him and to remove
all that hinders your endurance and continued progress. Much of this
could have been done by them if they had prevailed and had not slacked
off, but now you must have angelic intervention to be able to maintain
your progress and to attain even greater advances. The enemy sees your
determination to learn and to grasp the truths necessary to proceed, but
you must remember it is more important to allow the Truth to be formed
into you, than it is to grasp it with your minds first. If you will
learn to become what He reveals to you, then the understanding will flow
forth from that revelation inside of you. Too many are seeking to
understand the deeper truths first, and are not receiving them into
their beings sufficiently enough to be changed by them. So they fail to
apprehend the necessary growth of the truths and are still lacking in
their maturity. This is why many will stumble in the battles ahead. You
cannot afford to try to reason your way through breakthroughs and
victories in the battles. You must win them through the Truth that
prevails within you, then you will automatically transform everything
around you by those truths that live within you." "It
is for this very reason that the enemy will rise up and retaliate
against the Lord's army, because of the great Light and Truth of His
Presence that is beginning to shine forth from them as they advance in
their prayers. The effects of His emerging Light is bringing changes to
the earth and to the heavenlies. You have begun to see this in the rise
of the severity of your natural weather events and in the various
regional upheavals. This will only increase as the spiritual battle
progresses. You must not focus upon the earthly changes and even the
political changes, but you must press even more firmer in prayer and
deepen in your faith in Christ! It is your spiritual advancements that
have birthed the natural travails that have only just begun to go deeper
in the earth. You will see much more occur as the effects of your
prayers mirror the degree of the harvest that also unfolds. For the
earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, and so shall be the
response of the earth and also the response of the enemy. As his dark
forces are being driven back, the light and life is also increasing in
those areas. While other areas that are not moving with God will see the
effects of the withdrawing forces of the enemy as they go, and greater
warfare will result. I must awaken the Body and help to prepare them for
the coming counterattacks. You must also rise up and be watchful and be
diligent to pray and to guard each other as you progress in the Lord
each day. It is not a time to slacken and to let down your guards, but
you must strengthen your lines and get even more of the Father's
designs!" "The
Lord is calling many more of His People to now climb higher and to gain
understanding in this hour. It is time for the saints to seek the deep
things of God that have been reserved for your day, for in these truths,
you will find your daily purposes and your guidance for the very issues
that will rise up shortly before you in the earth. He has made
provision for you, but you must seek for it and strive for it each day,
and pursue His truth with all of your hearts. He will speak to you as
you seek Him, and He will show each of you just what you must do in your
area. You cannot copy the battle plans of another area, or do what
others are doing in their respective regions, for your area and region
is prepared just for you to reap it. Your battles will be uniquely yours
and your enemies will be those that you have been purposed for, and
have been anointed by the Lord to overcome. You cannot fight those that
you are not assigned to fight. You must focus upon that which the Father
assigns to you, and then you must be faithful and diligent to do all
that He shows to you to do. Those of you who are leaders, you will come
and go among each other in other regions to strengthen and to encourage
one another at times. You will also be sent to fight among those that
are weak or unprepared, when the Father deems it necessary. But you must
always focus upon that which the Lord sets before you to do. You have
been set upon the wall of your areas and you must all fulfill your
calls." "Prepare
your minds for action, and set your hearts to seek Him even more. The
Flooding of the Lord's Light has begun in the earth, and it will pour
stronger out of you as you progress, and this will only increase as your
prayers increase and as you obey His voice within you each day. Do not
fail to watch and pray, for this is your strength and your wisdom for
each day! Draw your strength from one another, and deepen in your love
for one another, for this will keep you in the bonds of peace, and the
Lord's Light among you all will ever increase! Watch for distractions to
increase in your areas and give them no place, but drive them out from
before you with haste! Give no attention those things that do not hasten
your knowledge of Christ and of His Word. Your Joy and Strength comes
from knowing Him and from Him being formed within you. The more He is
formed within you, the more His Light will flow out of you. As He is
lifted up and is seen through His People, then the Lord will draw men
unto Himself. You are His Instruments in which He reaps the fields of
the earth. You must not fail to bring forth the full measure and to reap
through your prayers the Fathers greatest Treasure! You must prepare
and prevail! This is the time to rise up and to set your sights on
things above and to receive even more of His Love. For within His Love
is all that you will need and out of the measure of His Love that you
receive and daily apply, your cup will overflow and will never run dry!
He alone can strengthen and satisfy! Get ready. Prepare to move greatly
in prayer, for you have only begun to climb the heavenly stairs. You
shall climb more, and go even higher each day. You come and go, and
grow, and flow. The more you increase in your ascent, the more His
strength and wisdom will never be spent! Remember these things, for I
shall hasten your training as you obey this Spring. Summer will open
with the changing of many tracks, and Fall will unleash new and greater
attacks. You must not be among those who spiritually lack. By winter, My
Church will be hitting the true center." Ephesians
2:10For we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in
Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God
predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared
ahead of time], that we should walk in them [living the good life which
He prearranged and made ready for us to live]. Colossians
1:10 so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to
him, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of
God. Isaiah 57:14 And it shall be said, "Build up, build up, prepare the way,remove every obstruction from my people’s way." Jeremiah
46:3 "Prepare buckler and shield, and advance for battle! 4 Harness the
horses; mount, O horsemen! Take your stations with your helmets, polish
your spears, put on your armor! Jeremiah 51:11a Make clean and sharp the arrows, take up the shields or coats of armor [and cover your bodies with them]! 2
Chronicles 26:11 Moreover, Uzziah had an army of soldiers, fit for war,
in divisions according to the numbers in the muster made by Jeiel the
secretary and Maaseiah the officer, under the direction of Hananiah, one
of the king’s commanders. 12 The whole number of the heads of fathers’
houses of mighty men of valor was 2,600. 13 Under their command was an
army of 307,500, who could make war with mighty power, to help the king
against the enemy. 14 And Uzziah prepared for all the army shields,
spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows, and stones for slinging. 15 In
Jerusalem he made engines, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers
and the corners, to shoot arrows and great stones for slinging. And his
fame spread far, for he was marvelously helped, till he was strong. Nehemiah 4:1 Now when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry and greatly enraged, and he jeered at the Jews. 2 And he said in the presence of his brothers and of the army of Samaria,
"What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore it for themselves?
Will they sacrifice? Will they finish up in a day? Will they revive the
stones out of the heaps of rubbish, and burned ones at that?" 3 Tobiah
the Ammonite was beside him, and he said, "Yes, what they are
building—if a fox goes up on it he will break down their stone wall!" 4 Hear,
O our God, for we are despised. Turn back their taunt on their own
heads and give them up to be plundered in a land where they are
captives. 5 Do not cover their guilt, and let not their sin
be blotted out from your sight, for they have provoked you to anger in
the presence of the builders. 6 So we built the wall. And all the wall was joined together to half its height, for the people had a mind to work. 7 But when Sanballat
and Tobiah and the Arabs and the Ammonites and the Ashdodites heard
that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem was going forward and that
the breaches were beginning to be closed, they were very angry. 8 And they all plotted together to come and fight against Jerusalem and to cause confusion in it. 9 And we prayed to our God and set a guard as a protection against them day and night. 10 In
Judah it was said, "The strength of those who bear the burdens is
failing. There is too much rubble. By ourselves we will not be able to
rebuild the wall." 11 And our enemies said, "They will not know or see till we come among them and kill them and stop the work." 12 At that time the Jews who lived near them came from all directions and said to us ten times, "You must return to us." 13 So
in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in open places, I
stationed the people by their clans, with their swords, their spears,
and their bows. 14 And I looked and arose and said to the
nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, "Do not be
afraid of them. Remember the Lord, who is great and awesome, and fight
for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives, and your
homes." 15 When our enemies heard that it was known to us and that God had frustrated their plan, we all returned to the wall, each to his work. 16 From that day on, half of my servants worked on construction, and half held the spears, shields, bows, and coats of mail. And the leaders stood behind the whole house of Judah, 17 who
were building on the wall. Those who carried burdens were loaded in
such a way that each labored on the work with one hand and held his
weapon with the other. 18 And each of the builders had his sword strapped at his side while he built. The man who sounded the trumpet was beside me. 19 And I said to the
nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, "The work is
great and widely spread, and we are separated on the wall, far from one
another. 20 In the place where you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us. 21 So we labored at the work, and half of them held the spears from the break of dawn until the stars came out. 22 I
also said to the people at that time, "Let every man and his servant
pass the night within Jerusalem, that they may be a guard for us by
night and may labor by day." 23 So neither I nor my brothers
nor my servants nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us
took off our clothes; each kept his weapon at his right hand. Job
4:3 Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the
weak hands. 4 Your words have held firm him who was falling, and you
have strengthened the feeble knees. Hebrews 12:1 THEREFORE
THEN, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses [who
have borne testimony to the Truth], let us strip off and throw aside
every encumbrance (unnecessary weight) and that sin which so readily
(deftly and cleverly) clings to and entangles us, and let us run with
patient endurance and steady and active persistence the appointed course
of the race that is set before us, 2Looking away [from all
that will distract] to Jesus, Who is the Leader and the Source of our
faith [giving the first incentive for our belief] and is also its
Finisher [bringing it to maturity and perfection]. He, for the joy [of
obtaining the prize] that was set before Him, endured the cross,
despising and ignoring the shame, and is now seated at the right hand of
the throne of God. 3Just think of Him Who endured from
sinners such grievous opposition and bitter hostility against Himself
[reckon up and consider it all in comparison with your trials], so that
you may not grow weary or exhausted, losing heart and relaxing and
fainting in your minds. 12
So then, brace up and reinvigorate and set right your slackened and
weakened and drooping hands and strengthen your feeble and palsied and
tottering knees, 13 And cut through and make firm and plain and smooth,
straight paths for your feet [yes, make them safe and upright and happy
paths that go in the right direction], so that the lame and halting
[limbs] may not be put out of joint, but rather may be cured. 14 Strive
to live in peace with everybody and pursue that consecration and
holiness without which no one will [ever] see the Lord. 15 Exercise
foresight and be on the watch to look [after one another], to see that
no one falls back from and fails to secure God's grace (His unmerited
favor and spiritual blessing). 1 Peter 1:13 Therefore, prepare your minds for action, keep sober in spirit, fix your hope completely on the grace to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. -Susan O'Marra http://intheimageofhisgloryministries.blogspot.com/2012/05/a scending-ladder-and-preparations-to.html
