I have sensed the Lord this month directing me to the recent dust storms, particularly the first one on Wednesday 23rd of September. The Lord directed me to look up the meaning of Dry, Red and Dust. Prophetically these are signs to us as God’s people to look at what’s happening around us. I believe the Lord is saying to us that this Dry Dust Storm is a warning to us of what’s to come in the future. “It is a warning”.
Our senior minister of Forerunners, Apostle Lynne Hamilton, on the 19th September gave us a warning of something that was coming in the spirit and that she felt a dread in her spirit which she could not shake off that day, and from there it progressively grew becoming a greater burden. As a prophet myself I was getting a similar thing in the spirit during the week ahead, and I’m sure other prophets would have felt the same.
So let’s take a look at what the word dry means: without moisture; rainless; not yielding milk or other liquid; plain; unelaborated (dry facts); uninteresting; cold unfriendly; lacking sweetness; person or thing that dries up; insufficient rain; apparatus for removing moisture; Rehearsal in stimulated conditions. Dry run = rehearsal; Impassive - (incapable of or not showing emotion); unsympathetic; hard, cold. Of, or being, a political ‘dry’; politician who advocates (person who pleads for another) individual responsibility, free trade, economic stringency (of rules etc) strict, precise; leaving no loop hole for discretion (at the discretion of, to be settled or disposed of according to one’s own judgment; Greek- to discern.) etc, and opposes high government spending on social welfare; desert area; (of people) driven off drought stricken land. Become unproductive (of supplies) run out.
Also the dust storm was Red which means: of the colour ranging from that of blood to deep pink or orange; having to do with bloodshed, burning, violence, or revolution; in the red in debt or deficit.
Now let’s take a look at what dust means: cloud of this; Anything reduced by disintegration or decay; a dead persons remains; confusion; turmoil – meaning violent confusion; agitation. Din and bustle. (din meaning prolonged loud and confused noise; force (information) into a person by constant repetition. Gold dust; defeat thoroughly; hit the dust fall, or throw oneself to the ground. Take a heavy fall; be injured or killed; use again after a long period; create commotion or disturbance; make a fuss; throw dust in a persons eyes; confuse mislead or dupe a person. When the dust settles - when things quite down. Dust in the Strong’s dictionary means: Hebrew- daqaq, daw-kak; - to crush crumble: beat in pieces (small), bruise, make dust, (into) powder, (be very) small, stamp (small). Greek meaning is koniortos, kon-ee-or-tos; from the word ornumi (to rouse) ; pulverance (as blown about)- dust. Also from the word koniao, kon-ee-ah-o- to white wash; whiten.
The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; unfortunately this world is in fear of nothing, except itself. The meanings and description of these words state the condition the people are in - they are without moisture, uninteresting, a person or thing that dries up; cold, unfriendly, in the red in debt or deficit; impassive, unsympathetic, hard, became unproductive, having to do with bloodshed, burning, violence, or revolution; reduced to disintegration; confusion and turmoil, to be misled or dupe a person, (do we get the picture.) This is just a rehearsal of what’s to come in the future and God is sending us a sign of the state of our hearts towards Him. But God is warning us that things will come in the world to hopefully propel us into His plans and will for us. God is warning us to come into His ways and not our own ways.
The Lord also highlighted the number 3 to me. Ecclesiastics 4:12. The meaning of number 3 very significant: God head; Father Word Holy Spirit; Water blood spirit; body soul and spirit; 3 day; Dove; Sun moon stars; Rock; 3 witnesses; Breath of Jesus; 1Lord 1God 1Spirit.
The things that are happening in the world today is a sign to us. Look around it’s everywhere, through politics, government, pushing for a New World Order, global
warming, human rights, massive increase of violence, military - a financial sector which crashed and now they are trying to say it’s stabilising and is going well and gaining momentum. Things are not what they seem! Why does the voice of the world say peace when there is no peace? World leaders saying peace when there is no peace.
God is not happy with the way His people are distracted, confused and in turmoil - following something that is not real, which is leading His people into deception. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. If the world is so right, then why have we the issues and the problems that we have today? The reason is that man think that they can live without God in their lives and delete Him out of it. We so need a revelation of the Fear of the Lord in our lives today. More than ever we need a reality check of the state we are in and how fragile we are. Natural disasters and crisis bring a reality check and the need of salvation and our need for Jesus and our Loving Father and His Holy Spirit to help us. When a people are so hell bent on going there own way, He will not go against there will, but there will be consequences for that.
Can you imagine our Creator God Almighty Himself who created us and this world and the universe for us to live in, loving us and giving us commands to follow to lead a life of fulfilment and contentment with each other, to have a love for each other, free of hatred, crime, lawlessness, murder, jealousy, envy, lust, etc. - a world where we could walk anywhere, anytime and feel safe never looking over our shoulder? (Wow, imagine that!). Then having the very ones He made turn on Him, saying He doesn’t exist & crucify (a horrific death) His only Son who was in His likeness and then presume to think they know better. I don’t think so! Of course He, being the loving caring and patient God that He is, will let them have their way (as they know best) so hopefully they will eventually see that salvation and relationship with Him is the only way out of this world. There is no other way.
The amazing thing about this is that God always warns us ahead of time, and the positive is if we will obey Him we will be safe and come into His promises and we will come out of all those negative meaning words and come out as His gold dust.
I hear the Lord say to take a good look at what is going on around you, it’s as plain as the nose on your face that if my people would turn from their wicked ways (twisted and off track), and come out of confusion and turmoil, out of the world’s grasp, the grasping of what is not real and what is keeping you away from me. If you would seek me with all your mind, heart and strength and run into my commands and commandments that I have given you, My promises to you will come to you and you will stand and look at all that’s going on around you and you will not be harmed. You will be a sign to the people of this world that I am a loving and kind God and that I love you and that I will never leave you or forsake you. My word is truth and is Life to those who find it, hear it and do it. How can I help you when you continue to walk away from me and follow your own thoughts and your own ways? Please hear the cry of my commandments and hear the cry of my love for you. Oh my heart longs for you to dwell in a safe place, to protect and keep you in all your ways to give you a future and a hope. Run into the safety of My true house’s where I can be and dwell there with you. I will be your God and you will be My people. Hear what the Holy Spirit is saying to you, to comfort you to help you. He is the Spirit of Truth.
Jesus is saying to us – “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through ME.”
“If you love Me, keep My commandments”.
“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- the spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him or knows Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you”.
The things that are coming on this world and have already come upon it, you will be unable to stand without Me. Be aware of the false houses that are not of Me and the ones who declare a union of all gods together as one. “This is not of Me” say’s God.
