The Shocking Jolt

By Ron McGatlin

The thunder rolls out from the distance rumbling across the land. An eerie calm stills the trees. The brightness of daylight fades as skies begin to darken. Everyone knows that a storm is approaching. Even the animals seem to know. It is time to leave the gardening and begin to close the windows in preparation. But I really want to finish this project that is almost done. This is something that has some importance to me and my family in the scope of our lives. Our lives are filled with activities of home, school, business, and many pleasurable and productive responsibilities. I don’t have much time to do the gardening things and need to get finished. Besides, maybe the storm will go around and not come here, and it may not be severe.

As we busy ourselves with the gardening of our lives we don’t really notice the darkening greenish gray sky that is beginning to move over us. Suddenly we have this strange feeling and all the hair on our body stands up. Instantly we are knocked to the ground as an unbelievably powerful surge of energy explodes from the sky. In an instant everything changes. We realize we are still alive and mostly unharmed and lift ourselves up to see the big oak tree only a few yards away ripped apart and still smoldering from the massive lightning strike.

The garden project is no longer a priority. We leave our tools and run for the house. Inside we check on others and rush about securing doors and windows. However, even before we are finished the howling winds begin smashing against the house. The electrical power goes off, and we hear things hitting against the house. We gather the family and run to get into the basement. Nestled in a secure corner and wrapped in quilts, we hear the roaring wind and crashing and smashing above us. Suddenly, our number one focus is God. Prayer is urgent and with great emotion. We desperately need to feel close to God and know He is close to us.

After only minutes that seem like hours, the storm passes, and we emerge to find our house and all that was in it is now scattered piles of debris drenched with water. All of our hard work and all of our possessions are destroyed. Not even a change of cloths is left. We have nothing. Our priorities are now completely shifted. Some things that seemed very important to us only minutes ago mean almost nothing now.

We are all here and unharmed. We hold tightly to one another our hearts are filled with love and praise to God. Giving thanks to God is the number one thing in our hearts. Our spontaneous prayer is: “Thank you, God, that we are all alive.” The peace and joy of the Lord begin to fill our hearts. Tears fill our eyes as we realize that we have been too busy to commune with our loving God who is our only solid rock in this temporal life. We have missed living in this place of real peace and joy in intimate oneness with our Lord. Soon the family begins to repent to one another for our shortness and contempt with each other while we were so busy with the “good things” of this life. Soon neighbors and others come to help us and we are so thankful that they are alright. We also become very thankful for the basic things of life that they share with us. We thank God for the things we took for granted until a few hours ago.

Again we repent for always wanting more or better than we had in the past and not being thankful to God for what we had. We feel God’s love flowing through our neighbors as we give thanks to God for His provision. Truly we are gushing with love for God and for our neighbors as well as each other in our little family.

How could we have missed this wonderful life? How could we have drifted away from the really important things and embraced emptiness?

Our lives had been very busy with many things that seemed so important that we had missed life. When we thought we were rich, we had been truly impoverished.

Hours later we learned that the factory where we were employed with good pay for many years was severely damaged. The factory had been struggling in the poor economy and the strong competition from manufacturers who had moved their factories to other countries where there was less labor cost and fewer taxes. It is probably not going to be possible for the factory to rebuild and reopen.

Our prayer becomes, “Thank you, God, that we have you and that we are all alive and well.” We wonder if the Lord allowed the sudden storm of destruction to jolt us from our foolish life and turn us back to Him.

As I asked the Lord what He wanted to say to His people, I received the above in a vision like a dream while awake. I believe it speaks clearly of the current situation of many of His people, families, tribes, and nations.

For many a shocking jolt of destructive power will in one day change life as it was known before causing many to turn back to God. A series of destructive events are already occurring as signs or a foretaste of what is to come to shake all things that can be shaken.

At the same time that the thickening dark clouds are releasing their destructive power, a mighty surge of supernatural empowerment will come upon the sons of God to preach and demonstrate with great boldness the pure gospel of the kingdom of God to the entire world.

The fire of God will roll across the land dissolving all that is not of God.

A child shall speak to a nation.

A whisper shall become a mighty shout as thunder from God.

Natural will be swallowed up in supernatural and restored as a garden of life.

Nothing shall stand before the Son of God manifesting Himself into the world. Every person yet alive on earth will worship the Lord God Almighty. Every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Christ Jesus is Lord. The whole earth will be filled with His glory.

This kingdom of God is now, always was and forever shall be.

It shall be fully manifested in the earth as it is in heaven.

Considering all these things what manner of person ought we to be?

Father God we bow before Your Majesty. Jesus, you are Lord of all and King over all the earth. Fill us, oh Lord, with Your strength, Your courage, Your boldness, Your love, and Your wisdom. Explode Your life in us that exceeds all that is in the world. Let the lightning of Your loving presence be a shocking jolt to blast us out of our mundane life of self concerns and into Your heavenly supernatural life in the Spirit. Open our mouths, oh Lord, to speak Your heavenly words and proclaim Your magnificent glory into the world. Fill us, oh Lord, with Your boldness that flows from purity of holiness and Your strength that flows from pure love. Let Your supernatural life rise up in Your people. We open our hearts and empty ourselves; fill us Lord. Let us lose our life to find it. You are worthy oh Lord.  Amen

Keep on pursuing love. It never fails
and His kingdom never ends.

Ron,

I had a recent dream where I was looking at a tree. As I was looking
at it I realized it was very large. Not "Avatar" large, but larger than a
normal tree. Instantly I saw the left side break off and fall to the
ground. Very quickly after that I saw the right side split and fall to the
ground. I don't know how muchntree was left after these two events. I
have been seeing two events like this in multiple dreams. I believe the
tree speaks to either the nation or economy. There will be two shocks
in quick succession. I expect these to be validated with the stock
market if I'm seeing correctly. I see this beginning very soon.

Hello Jim Reeve, Welcome to OH Forums. I had an interesting dream several years ago also about trees crashing down. I wrote a chapter on it in the Basileia Letters book. Here is a portion of it below. - Ron

The Loftiness of Man And The Kingdom of God

Have you ever experienced the serenity of walking in a beautiful

forest of majestic tall trees on a warm sunny day? There is a

feeling of security and comfort in the cool shade of the huge trees.

One feels at ease and protected by the canopy of giant branches

meshing together far overhead. You tend to feel small in the presence

of the giant trees, and may have a worshipful respect for the

magnificent, stately, ancient trees.

This is how I felt as God recently spoke to me in a powerful

prophetic dream. I walked about in the most beautiful oak forest I

have ever seen. The trees were huge and over one hundred feet tall.

They had magnificent limbs growing this way and that, forming

unique patterns high in the trees. The tree trunks were very large

and covered with distinctive rough oak bark. The trees were some

distance apart but they were so large that they all entwined together

forming a beautiful green canopy high overhead.

Beneath the trees, the floor of the forest was open and free of

brush. There were no pesky briars or thorny berry vines, no small

growth to make walking difficult. I strolled about with ease admiring

the awesomeness of the giant magnificent trees. I felt they must

be hundreds of years old. There was a sense of strength and personal

protection realizing they had stood against the elements with

no apparent damage for centuries. Though I could catch small

glimpses of bright sun light through the canopy it was wonderfully

shady and comfortably cool. There was no concern for heat or sunburn

in such a protected environment. It seemed it would be a good

place to remain forever and enjoy its comfort and protection.

I was well into the forest when I stopped short. The sound of a

rushing strong wind came to my ears. Instantly I looked up toward

the north from which the sound came. High above the earth one of

the trees was being thrashed about by a strong wind from the north.

Suddenly I heard great snapping sounds as the high limbs of the

great tree began to break and started falling. Then the giant trunk

snapped and the whole tree was crashing toward the earth. I turned

quickly to the east and started to run when I saw that the entwined

trees were being broken by the first falling tree. The trees were

crashing in the east and I could not run in that direction. Instantly

I turned to the south and started to run. But again the trees in that

direction began to be broken by the others and were falling. By

now the sound was horrendous as a great roar of snapping and crashing

was everywhere. I turned to the west and it was crumbling as

well. As a cloud of thick dust began to rise and fill the air around

me, I instinctively ran a few steps and dove to the trunk of one of

the great trees. I wrapped myself up against it and nestled up against

the huge trunk as the roar of crashing continued and the dust boiled

covering the entire scene.

I was unharmed and crawled out after the dust settled through

the mass of tangled broken limbs to view a totally new scene. Not

one tree, not even a very high trunk, or a very large piece of a tree

was left. The entire magnificent forest was only a huge area of

broken smashed pieces fit only for fire wood. It was still a bright

sunny day with only a few wispy white clouds in the sky but all the

sense of protection and comfort no longer existed.

As I awoke from this dream I was very moved and somewhat

afraid. I knew beyond any doubt that the dream was a prophetic

word from God and could instantly think of many negative fearful

possible interpretations. But I am not usually used as a prophet of

doom and was afraid to ask God the meaning. I really was not ready

to know the full meaning of this dream and waited a day before

asking God to reveal the interpretation of the dream to me.

I cautiously approached God with questions like, does this

involve religion? I heard “yes”, but with a sense that there was

more. I asked, “does this involve the economy and political governments”?

Again the answer, “yes”. Knowing I was now ready

God spoke on and said, “It is the pride and loftiness of man”.

For many days since this dream I have been consumed with it.

Many questions have arisen as I went to the word and continued to

seek God’s guidance in more fully understanding the meaning of

this word. What exactly is the pride and loftiness of man that has

stood majestically for centuries and is now coming down? Why

were trees used to represent the loftiness of man as opposed to

great cities or tall buildings etc.? How does this relate to the glorious

revival and the establishment of God’s kingdom on earth now?

When is this great crashing fall, which takes away the sense of

security and comfort of many people?

Isa 2:17-18: The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, And

the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; The LORD alone will

be exalted in that day, But the idols He shall utterly abolish.

The loftiness of man makes a great covering for evil works of

spiritual harlotry and adultery. Under the canopy of the lofty pride

of men and their mighty works is a comfortable place for sin and

evil works to prevail.

Hosea 4:13: They offer sacrifices on the mountaintops, And

burn incense on the hills, Under oaks, poplars, and terebinths,

Because their shade is good. Therefore your daughters commit

harlotry, And your brides commit adultery.

Now is the time of great transition from the ways of fallen

man to the ways of the kingdom of our God. The lofty pride of

mankind is being exposed and soon will be brought down to nothing.

The greatest crash ever is eminent as the prideful works of

man come crashing down that the works of God’s kingdom may

flow through humble men and be established upon the earth. The

lofty works of man in which we have trusted will crumble before

our eyes.

Zec 11:1-2: Open your doors, O Lebanon, That fire may devour

your cedars. Wail, O cypress, for the cedar has fallen, Because

the mighty trees are ruined. Wail, O oaks of Bashan, For

the thick forest has come down.

In the figurative language of the Holy Spirit in Scripture, trees

often represent the life structure of a man. Different types of trees

have different characteristics and represent different qualities in

man. The oak represents strength and long lasting stability. The

oak grows slowly but makes a very strong hard wood and is therefore

a picture of strong stable men.

Amos 2:9: "Yet it was I who destroyed the Amorite before them,

Whose height was like the height of the cedars, And he was as

strong as the oaks; Yet I destroyed his fruit above And his roots

beneath.

It is vitally important for us to know the difference between

the works of the pride and loftiness of man and the wonderful works

and blessings of God. It is possible to come to some very frightening

and unreal conclusions if we do not discern the blessings of

God and the prideful works of man. We must consider carefully

what is crashing down and what is being established on earth.

Isa 2:12-21: For the day of the LORD of hosts shall come

upon everything proud and lofty, Upon everything lifted up; And it

shall be brought low; Upon all the cedars of Lebanon that are

high and lifted up, And upon all the oaks of Bashan; Upon all the

high mountains, And upon all the hills that are lifted up; Upon

every high tower, And upon every fortified wall; Upon all the ships

of Tarshish, And upon all the beautiful sloops.

The loftiness of man shall be bowed down, And the haughtiness

of men shall be brought low; The LORD alone will be exalted

in that day, But the idols He shall utterly abolish.

They shall go into the holes of the rocks, And into the caves of

the earth, From the terror of the LORD And the glory of His majesty,

When He arises to shake the earth mightily.

In that day a man will cast away his idols of silver And his

idols of gold, Which they made, each for himself to worship, To the

moles and bats, To go into the clefts of the rocks, And into the crags

of the rugged rocks, From the terror of the LORD And the glory

of His majesty, When He arises to shake the earth mightily.

This is not doom and gloom! This is a marvelous outpouring

of the glory of God!

Yes, it is an awesome shaking! But only those things that lift

themselves against God are coming down. God is being exalted

above all else in the minds and hearts of man and in the entire

earth. It is the manifest glory of God that is coming forth in the

earth. It is the terror and the glory of God from which man is fleeing

into the caves, and that causes him to cast away his idols.

The LORD alone will be exalted in that day, But the idols

He shall utterly abolish. (Isa 2:17b)

i had this dream in Feb. of 2007..

This was as seeing a scene yet being a participant. I seen land or a field of tall trees. These trees were dark and in darkness. Standing beside me was a man in white with white hair, a watcher, and was showing me this..pointing it out. I then was the one in a bulldozer doing the uprooting. The bulldozer was huge and uprooted these trees which then fell to the ground. Suddenly fire fell everywhere and began to consume the trees. It fell as well upon the bulldozer. But in the bulldozer was safety, the fire did not consume but overwhelming peace flooded, knowing he, the watcher, was my rescue.

"You are My battle-ax and weapons of war: For with you I will break the nation in pieces; With you I will destroy kingdoms;" Jeremiah 51:20 (NKJV)

I wasn't sure if the trees were representing leaders or nations. After reading this, it comes to me, it represents the loftiness and pride of man, nations and the fire of God consuming `them'...who are exalting themselves above Him. The Kingdom of God is the ark of safety and is also that which uproots, being demonstrated in power..cleansing the land. The fire of God, His Soveriegn Rule, Righteous judgment upon, unto purification of the land. [ this latter portion was in response to a word shared the same of Feb.2007]

________________________

how subtle is self-sufficiency, having a form of godliness but denies the power thereof.  and how Good He is in His Great Mercy, to lay the axe to the root of , simultaneously revealing I AM..there is none beside Me. He is Lord of heaven and of earth and beneath and all that is within them..and there really is no place one can run or flee, where He is not there. He casts down and out the inquititous man( that which is anti-Christ within the soul/s of men)..the thoughts, imaginations, emotions, intellect producing ways that exalts itself against God.

the only shelter, the only refuge, the only strong tower is the Kingdom of our Father of which Christ Jesus is King and Lord of, the Chief  Corner Stone.

just as He is, His Kingdom is pure, holy, undefiled..altogether Lovely, Brilliant..Brilliant Glorious Light, nothing of this earth/world compares too and indeed is a Consuming Fire and a Mountain Rising( increasing) laying waste to every other kingdom. and the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of His Christ and He will Reign forever. the New Jerusalem, the Holy City of God is come down and will rule and reign..to God be the Glory!!

there is a call going out, in demonstration of Spirit and power...what will you adhere too? chariots and horses?( self-sufficiency, men's own strength)...or put your trust(adherence) in Him. ~Now unto the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible(Alpha and Omega), the only Wise God be honour and glory forever and ever..Amen!  : )

~"Father God we bow before Your Majesty. Jesus, you are Lord of all and King over all the earth. Fill us, oh Lord, with Your strength, Your courage, Your boldness, Your love, and Your wisdom. Explode Your life in us that exceeds all that is in the world. Let the lightning of Your loving presence be a shocking jolt to blast us out of our mundane life of self concerns and into Your heavenly supernatural life in the Spirit. Open our mouths, oh Lord, to speak Your heavenly words and proclaim Your magnificent glory into the world. Fill us, oh Lord, with Your boldness that flows from purity of holiness and Your strength that flows from pure love. Let Your supernatural life rise up in Your people. We open our hearts and empty ourselves; fill us Lord. Let us lose our life to find it. You are worthy oh Lord.  Amen"~

yes Lord!..amen!
