His Irresistible Presence drawing many into the Kingdom

I have had a very profound experience with the Lord the last two days. His Presence has been so irresistible, so much like a peaceful spa, so full of love and kindness that all I have wanted to do is nothing but just experience being in Him, enveloped by Him, and hug Him back. To put it more simply, it’s likely being at Home and in Home and having His Home all around you. It’s another place than this world. A dwelling place full of peace and rest. A place of love not just for Him but immense love for others as well. A place of family. This is the true gift of Christmas, His coming to earth to make His home and resting place in human beings through the bounty of His Spirit which we simply receive and consume like food and drink into our beings through faith.
 
Then I became aware, as His Presence was so irresistible, comfortable, and loving that He is and will be drawing massive numbers of non-believers to Him. I was one of them, running away. Then one night He said, “You keep running away, We’ve missed you.” And waves of love and kindness overwhelmed me and I cried most of the night. I became an adorer of Jesus immediately. That night years ago I couldn’t read the pocketbook size King James Bible to figure out what happened to me. All I knew was I met Jesus, He wrapped His heart around my entire being and enveloped me into His love and I was a goner! Gone forever from the clutches of the silliness in this world and falling into His wondrous embrace of love. What happened that night gives new meaning to "falling in love." I did a free fall from all I knew and trusted in, all that had disappointed me, and fell into His warm ocean of kindness. Of course, after that I bought several different Bible versions so I could read and learn more. But that first night with my Creator brought me Home instantly. And I have never left Home since.

So it will be in the coming years for many, many, many, many. Many, many, many, many. Scores and scores and scores. Each and every child of God known and loved and called by Him and brought Home. The population of brothers and sisters finding family and Home will explode. The laughter will be immense. Don't children love to laugh? Let us laugh and celebrate! It's a family! It's Home!!

Waves and waves of His irresistible love and goodness, His palpable and heart-felt Presence.

The stiff in church will be shocked like the older brother who is jealous of the prodigal son who receives the lavish banquet celebrating his return. Or shocked like the laborers in the field who get the same wages, toiling all day in the hot sun, as those who start working at the very end of the day. God is truly that generous and that loving, and we sometimes forget that truth of His unquenchable and irresistible love. He can turn on the love faucet higher, the waves of love when He wants to. And He wants to. Even His Spirit fell on King Saul and Saul started acting like a drunkard and prophesying (1 Samuel 10). So it is when the Lord pours on the love through His Spirit. Yes, His love is always there. But there are times when He pours it on, like on Saul, and His Spirit falling in the upper room like fire (Acts 2). I can profoundly sense as well as see in 2012 the waves beginning of His irresistible love bringing many into His Kingdom – His Home - because that love is too pure, that goodness is too compelling, that Home is too comforting to resist. It is He who said, “on earth, as it is in heaven.” He desires to bring many into His Home here on earth.

Update as of February 17, 2012:
I have been feeling the love-drenched Presence of the Lord so heavily the last few weeks that many times during the day I will stop work and go outside to bask in His might and love and Presence and thank Him. I know this powerful anointing I have been feeling relates not to me but something much larger than me as I often spiritually and physically experience – live out, if you will – changes that are occurring especially in America. In speaking with another prophetic friend and trying to discern what I perceive and am peering into, I read this post to him starting at, “So it will be in the coming years for many, many, many, many.” The Presence of the Lord increased so strongly in and on me I could barely read, I was so completely caught up in His Spirit that it was if I was lifted into His “waves and waves of His irresistible love and goodness, His palpable and heart-felt Presence”. The best description is He lifted me into a place in Him where I lost contact with the ground and things in this world. All floated away like down feathers, beautiful to see but not tactile. I experienced a spiritual, an emotional, ecstasy of love, a love explosion pouring out from Him saturating all. I went outside to pray afterwards and to release this word of “His Irresistible Presence drawing many into the Kingdom” that will begin this year, 2012. May we all feel the lifting of Jesus’ wave of love, goodness and expansive kindness.  His compassionate and caring ecstasy will lift us higher in loving others and loving life He gave us.
 
Update as of February 19, 2012:
I believe Whitney Houston’s memorial service, the celebration of her and her going home to the Lord she loved dearly which was broadcasted by major networks over the world with stars also talking of her faith and their own love of the Lord, is marking the beginning of “His Irresistible Presence drawing many into the Kingdom”.  I also believe Lin-sanity – basketball phenomenon Jeremy Lin – giving credit to Jesus Christ for his stunning skills and winning streak that is exploding big smiles on so many including in China is also the beginning of “His Irresistible Presence drawing many into the Kingdom”.  I believe 2012 will be very, very different as I’ve blogged before.  God is loving, God is good, God is kind.  A child knows this about God.  Adults lose sense of the approachable and compassionate Jesus Christ who sat them on His knee and loved them.  Children understand who Jesus – God who walked on earth for a time – is.  Many, many, many, many are going to come back to that innocent understanding of Him, forgetting who we are and even forgiving our own pasts to see who He is.   His love will be so infectious, so intoxicating, that the stiff and ultra-religious will have jaw-dropping experiences.  I’m transparent on this blog.  You’ve seen where I’ve been too full of my own religiosity myself because “knowledge puffs up” according to the Bible.  I don’t hide it by editing it out.  But hopefully you will see the progression in how I’ve been blogging.  Thankfully because of Him, the prophesies have been almost all accurate despite my shortcomings needing growth.  I believe this particular prophesy, “His Irresistible Presence drawing many into the Kingdom,” is one of the most important prophesies to date.  Yes, the Dow will go to 14,000 (it is on its way with the DOW at about 13,000) and the economy will continue to warm and there will be positive changes in America’s leadership and there will be no European debt contagion to the US, as I have prophesied.  Even our national debt is not going to get out of control and create a devastating crash (see April 29, 2010).  But far more importantly, the waves and waves of God – of the Lord Jesus Christ and His kind face – will increase to overwhelm us and transform us all to appreciate Him just as children do.  2012 is going to be wonderful!! 

2012

For 2012 I see the market continuing its progress towards the DOW at 14,000. Towards 14,000 is the overall trend upwards and longer than a year according to what I heard from the Lord. I also see continued volatility, as in 2011, with a major dip in the first few months of 2012. Beyond that is a bit of a blur but I see an overall gently-sloping and bumpy upward trend. It is still the Little Engine That Could market, chug, chug, chugging along.

Below please find a few past prophecies that remain alive for 2012 regarding no market crashes so no catastrophes or major bear market, the US will defy sovereign debt crises, sifting of political leaders and then business leaders, Dagon has fallen, etc.:








http://hearthelord.blogspot.com/2011/04/usa-shall-defy-sovereign-debt-crises.html

You will see many of my prophecies may conflict with other published prophecies out there, sometimes 180 degrees. For more on my views about conflicting prophecies:


Update as of February 1, 2013 10:30am: 
The January 3, 2011 “Dow to 14,000” prophecy was fulfilled today, the DOW reached 14,000.See: http://hearthelord.blogspot.com/2011/01/dow-to-14000-rich-man.html

Please understand that when this prophecy was given about two years ago, the Dow had closed at 11,577.  Also, it had not broken above 11,600 since before the crash in 2008.   Throughout 2011 and 2012, there were numerous naysayers predicting collapse of America’s economy into another recession or depression.  There were those predicting an unraveling of the world’s global economy.  Neither happened.  And the Dow did chug, chug, chug along like that little engine that could.  It rose an impressive 21% in just two years, just like the Lord said on January 3, 2011, “Watch 14,000. Not soon, longer than a year. But that little blue engine with a noble heart chugged, chugged, chugged on. So no catastrophic crashes, no flash floods in the market.”

Where from here?  On towards 15,000.  See my August 21, 2012 tweet, “A few days ago saw in a vision DOW going to 15K after 14K. As approached 15K, sharp drop like a knife to ~12K. Saw same vision again today.” Also see my December 12, 2012 blog post:

I need to add that based on current, somewhat fuzzy visions I have of the Dow after it approaches 15,000 (please know it may not reach 15,000 but will be close), it will drop to the 13,000s and maybe not to the 12,000s.  I don’t have clarity on the extent of the drop.  However, it will be a sharp and strong correction.

Update as of April 15, 2013 11:30 am:  
I realize I was not clear in saying the DOW may correct into the 13,000s rather than into the 12,000s.  What I saw in the initial 2 repetitive visions 8 months ago in August 2012 (when the DOW was about 13,300) was a sharp correction into the 12,000s after the DOW approaches 15,000.  But later, after prayer, my understanding was it may correct into the low 13,000s instead, thus below 13,500.  The DOW rose to within 113 points of 15,000 a few days ago on April 11, 2013.  Based on the two August 2012 visions of the DOW approaching 15,000 and then sharply correcting, the correction might happen any day now.  Of course, the DOW may level out for a couple weeks before it sharply corrects, I do not know.  My gut feel based on the original repetitive visions in August 2012 and subsequent prayer the last few months (please know this part is not prophecy but my gut feel after prayer) is the DOW will correct to the range of 12,800 to 13,400.

Update as of July 31, 2013 1:00 pm:
The knife-life drop in the stock market which I saw and anticipated did not happen. So I believe the vision I saw was not from the Lord but from my imagination. We all have imagination. Differentiating between seeing through the filter of our imagination and seeing what the Lord sees through the pure vision from His Spirit takes spiritual sensitivity and discernment. Unless we are perfect, we make mistakes as I did. Making a mistake is an opportunity to do what is more important: seeking first intimacy with Him and love of others, which is His kingdom. In the clarity and quiet stillness of His Spirit, we will see, hear, and understand all He wants us to know and move beyond mistakes.

“Watch the rush as they come out as a royal priesthood”

I was a half an hour into a lovely prayer hike today when out of the blue the Lord starting speaking this word:

“Constantine! Constantine! Great you were to usher in My Kingdom but with princes and magistrates, pomp and circumstance.  My princes and princesses are in caves, like David.  Watch the rush as they come out as a royal priesthood, walking in My Spirit and freedom, prophesying and healing in My Son’s name.  The earth has shaken and will shake again as the glory and joy of My sons and daughters sweep over the nations like fresh waters on dry lands.  And there will be laughter and rejoicing because I am their Father.”

Underwater homes will begin emerging in 3 years

I had a very clear vision a few days ago of the Lord’s hands cupping a submerged home under water, I’m estimating ten or twenty feet, under an ocean’s surface but this is a vague guess. I saw the home gently rock left to right in his hands, as if moving with the rocking ocean. Then I could see people inside the home, there was light and air inside and they were enjoying their family life. They were living under water as if in a submarine home. The Lord never let go of holding and cupping the home under water. Then I saw the water level start to lower and brighter sunlight radiate above. I saw a large, distinct number three appear over the home, which I immediately understood to be three years, the top of the three stuck a little out of the water. Then the waters lowered slowly and the roof of the home emerged into air. I had the impression not all homes that have been underwater will emerge in three years but that is the beginning, when the waters that have submerged homes will begin lowering and eventually, over time, disappearing.

I heard this today in seeking more clarity from the Lord,
“In 3 years what has been submerged will begin to emerge. This is a comfort to trust in Me to keep you in your home with air to spare and you will live as if not under water. Breathe and live and know I am holding you in the palms of My hands.”

An image that immediately came to mind after I wrote the above is the following scripture. I had not remembered this event covered three days. I believe the number “three” is not a coincidence:

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward the sky so that darkness will spread over Egypt--darkness that can be felt.” So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and total darkness covered all Egypt for three days. No one could see anyone else or leave his place for three days. Yet all the Israelites had light in the places where they lived. Exodus 10:21-23 (NIV)

Update as of October 27, 2013 10:00am:
This prophecy, given as the market was declining and a half a year before the national real estate market fell to new lows, is already starting to come to pass this year. I took hope from the prophecy that real estate values would begin recovering from being underwater in a relatively short time frame of 3 years, by fall 2014, despite the widespread carnage of values nationally. Please note the prophecy stated, “what has been submerged will begin to emerge,” thus, it is not a promise that every single underwater home will emerge.  It is a promise, however, of a recovery and restoration for many if they hold on and trust in the Lord, “This is a comfort to trust in Me to keep you in your home with air to spare and you will live as if not under water. Breathe and live and know I am holding you in the palms of My hands.”

The S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index showed, “as of May 2013, average home prices across the United States are back to their spring 2004 levels…. The recovery from the March 2012 lows is 15.9% and 16.5% for the 10-City and 20-City Composites.”

Zillow writes in their August 20, 2013 press release, “All 30 of the largest metro areas covered by Zillow registered both monthly and annual appreciation in July, and all have hit their bottom and are expected to show appreciation in the next 12 months.”
http://zillow.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=159&item=371

Update as of November 22, 2013:

“Fast-paced price increases have helped bring many underwater homeowners afloat. In the third quarter, 1.4 million homeowners rose to the surface as their home values once again outranked their equity…. The negative equity rate now stands at 21 percent, down about one-third from its peak of 31.4 percent.”
http://www.themreport.com/articles/is-negative-equity-part-of-new-normal-2013-11-21

Update as of October 18, 2014: 

I thought it time for an update since it is 3 years from this prophecy.  “According to the second quarter Zillow Negative Equity Report, the national negative equity rate continued to decline in Q2 2014, falling to 17 percent, down 14.4 percentage points from its peak (31.4 percent) in the first quarter of 2012. Negative equity has fallen for nine consecutive quarters as home values have risen.”  Negative equity, aka homes under water, have fallen from 31.4 percent to 17 percent, almost half the homes have emerged from being under water. 
http://www.zillow.com/research/2014-q2-negative-equity-report-7465/

Update as of September 8, 2015: 

The word I received from the Lord on October 19, 2011 said that “In 3 years what has been submerged will begin to emerge” and I commented, “I had the impression not all homes that have been underwater will emerge in three years but that is the beginning, when the waters that have submerged homes will begin lowering and eventually, over time, disappearing.”

Here is a telling graph from Zillow that the percentage of negative equity (i.e. underwater homes) actually stayed high between 30% and 31% about 9 more months from October 2011 through the first half of 2012 (as nationwide home prices were still declining in value).  The percentage of negative equity homes didn’t start dropping substantially until the second half of 2012.  Negative equity (underwater homes) have declined from about 31% of all homes at the time of the October 2011 prophecy to 14.4% recently in the second quarter of 2015.  This Zillow chart shows the prophecy coming to pass.  God is good!

"Bible Belt" in San Jose, California and surrounding cities

Bible Belt! Bible Belt!” The Lord proclaims, “From San Jose [California] to Morgan Hill to Gilroy. Milpitas, too and Mountain View. But the heart will be San Jose. They will carry Bibles into public places and read. They will meet in homes and call it church where I dwell amongst my children and Jesus is their Lord. Where the walls come down in My church and there are no barriers between.

They will love each other. Love will overflow out of homes where the churches are, where all my children meet, and into the streets to feed the orphans, widows and hungry for Me. The South Bay [of the San Francisco Bay Area] is my Bible Belt in California,” says the Lord. Watch me do this thing. It will be a hot spot of love and grace and goodness as My people find each other and meet and love, love, love. You hunger for the first century churches in homes and will have it!

Peace-filled Defiance

The Lord woke me two nights ago that this year [beginning with Rosh Hashanah] is the year of peace-filled Defiance. We have entered this new season. Those who live completely in Jesus’ purchase of us by His blood, those who know our uprightness doesn't have anything to do with our good behavior or works but is attributed to us solely through Jesus' shining perfection, will be led by His peace and voice and, thus, become inseparable partners in revealing His mighty, miracle-working, dunamis power on earth. This understanding of us in Christ and Christ in us - one spirit born in humility and faith, transcending the grips of this world like a freely rising dove from glory to glory - will unleash the latter day supernatural power and toppling of the enemy's edifices that Jesus' own are seeking. In this place where we have the mind of Christ and not our own, there is stalwart, confident, prayerful, peace-filled Defiance in the face of the enemy's constructions.

Peace-filled Defiance couples with the humble and trusting Rest learned in the testing and trials that many have been experiencing.

“Are you a king in the cave [like David]? Are you a prime minister in the prison [like Joseph]?

“I created who you are. Do not lose sight of who you are in Me. You must know who you are in Me. You must know. David knew. Joseph knew. Moses knew. But they lived in tight cocoons at first, unable to expand their wings and fly in My might. David spent years persecuted and hiding. Joseph spent years as a lowly servant and in prison. Moses spent years tending sheep and not people. When you fly you will fly only for Me and in Me and not be caught in the spider web of this world. Stay separate from the world. Do not be of the world. You will be tempted and have envy seeing the world fattening its belly with delights you want to taste until you have no more envy. Separation can be painful until you experience what I have prepared for you. You have never been separated like this. You will taste of My table and see it is the most succulent.”

"The power of man will be inside her"

I am listening much more this year to Kim Clement's prophecies. I am aware of his prophecy that this is a year of woman. I believe the following is related to that prophecy, which I received this afternoon on a prayer hike.

"There is a new creature arising. She will wear pretty clothes. Grace will be on her lips. But the power of man will be inside her. A fire burns in her heart. She will take back that which has been stolen from her. I will do this thing and press into her bosom four times that which was stolen. She will no longer be humbled and low before man, her brother, her husband. But she will step into her own great inheritance. And her husband, her brother will admire her. And her children will call her blessed. You will know this is true when it comes to pass." says the Lord.

Update as of October 29, 2011:
Royal daughters no longer will have to go to the back of the queue when it comes to the line of succession in Britain. After centuries of sexism, Commonwealth leaders agreed Friday Oct 28, 2011 to the rule change that means if Prince William and Catherine have a female child first, she can now inherit the throne. Please see this great event after centuries of bias refers to royal daughters in the secular world. Watch the same occur in God's Kingdom.

I have a feeling, simply a feeling, William's and Catherine's first child will be a girl.

“In 2012 the Liberty Bell will sound ‘Dagon has fallen.’”

“In 2012 the Liberty Bell will sound ‘Dagon has fallen.’ In 2012 the Liberty Bell will sound ‘Dagon has fallen.’

“I will put my Spirit on the leader I choose who humbles himself before Me. Even if the youth show up at the polls, which they will not because they are distracted running after this and that, Dagon cannot be erected.


“What did Dagon lose? Yes, a head and even arms so he is powerless. I speak figuratively, not literally, so know I’m talking about power. I will render Dagon powerless.

“The youth who loved Dagon will be distracted and forget about Dagon running here and there. They have lost their Dagon but have each other. The adults who loved Dagon will cry and be angry. Their Dagon has fallen and can do no more.

“This is how I shake, so out of the rumbling my people will be made manifest. My people have been in caves and shadows and dark closets praying, praying, praying. No one sees them. They have been hidden for this time. Oh, I will be shaking even my church and those who have been last will be first. Watch the shackles come off! Watch your religious robes tear and split and fall off so you can run, run, run in my Spirit and my glory can arise. David didn’t wear much when he killed Goliath. He didn’t wear much when He danced for me. David became a king in a cave. A king in a cave. I have many kings and queens in caves and shadows and dark closets praying, praying, praying. They are about to spread their wings like Monarch butterflies and fly, fly, fly! Such glorious wings with splendid colors and brilliance and power! Watch the true power arise!

“Peace, peace, I give you. Not as the world tempts do I give to you. Your rest is coming. You will not have to hide in caves and shadows and dark closets. You will be in my light and see great and mighty wonders because I answer you.”
