Stand on the Rampart

I’m going to switch gears for a time as the Lord has continued to bring up an ancient subject and I’ve been prodded in my side (literally) to bring it into the forefront.  After extensive prayer regarding the issue, the Lord spoke: “You minister to Me.”  In other words, I am not to be concerned about anyone except Him.

It’s not a subject that I choose to take up.  In fact, when I started this website, I told the Lord this was not a topic that I would put on it.  However, best laid plans!  When God calls something forth, I will do it.  To me, this subject is a like piece of lint clinging to my garment…I keep taking it off and it gets stuck back on me again.  Regardless, I will be obedient.

If you have read my introduction on the website homepage, you understand I started this site because God was going to fulfill the promises that He gave me in my first book.  That is what is driving this ancient subject to be brought to the surface again.  And that is why I will take some time in the next few weeks to write about it.  So, I’m giving you a heads up if you want to take a vacation from reading about this I understand.  Nevertheless, I believe the Lord wants it on the site for His purpose and glory.

I confess I have a ‘hidden’ chapter to my second book Believe Miracles Are for Today ~ The Book (located in The Library on the homepage).  This hidden chapter titled The Promise I Doubt the Most is what the Lord wants revealed.  How do I know this?  God sent me a dream recently to kick-off the commencement of this venture called Dimon’s Prophecy ~ Sealed with a Kiss.  It is recounted in this Archives.

I started writing this post series in November 2021 after the Lord gave me the Dimon Prophecy. God told me to post on January 12^th, today.  

After the first month of writing this series, sad shocking news came that the head pastor (that I wrote about in My Sister’s Walk with God) had suddenly passed away.  Though this news is shocking and confusing, God has confirmed as He did a month ago, this information must go forth.  Saying that, know that the Lord will reveal a greater meaning to His unfolding prophesies in future postings.

After the lengthy prayer assignment for my old church and the head pastor ended, I rarely had dreams on those subjects.  Once My Sister’s Walk with God was published, I thought my job was completed.  Then, six months after the book was released, dreams of the head pastor began again.  Not frequently and definitely not asked for by me but, a handful.   

The themes of the dreams were telling, but puzzling to me since I thought my job was done.  The dreams mainly revolved around the head pastor making future plans, knowing about the book and the most recent, a looming financial crisis.  The last three included me trying to use the restroom but not being allowed to relieve myself.  This alone is obvious.  People clean themselves in private, using bathrooms, so a bathroom reflects prayer (such as confession/repentance) because that’s the way we dispose of the uncleanness. 

To have reoccurring dreams of the same subject matter while trying to use a bathroom is trying to clean myself of the subject.  It is quite frustrating.  But such is the life of a prophet, or one called with a prophetic anointing.  If God is not done with a subject, the prophet cannot move on without being in contempt of the Lord’s court.  God’s spokesman must continue on regardless of how they feel; they are not independent contractors.  They are inextricably tied to the subject once assigned.  There is no going back and no retreat.  I am one in such a predicament.

I’ve been told to ‘Watch’ and so, I will also be in agreement with Him.  I am transparent about this in order to find resolution, hoping desperately that by revealing this information God will bring this to fulfillment.  Most recently, He said to me “Stand on the Rampart”. 

Rampart: a defensive wall of a castle or walled city, having a broad top with a walkway and typically a stone battlement.  These verses were given Habakkuk 2:1-3: I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart and watch to see what He will say to me, and what I will answer when I am corrected.  Then the Lord answered me and said: “Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.  For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry."

The verses are related to a dream from October 2020 about the head pastor.  In the dream, the head pastor kissed me, and I felt his prickly mustache.  I felt it was a surprise kiss of agreement (yet, painful with the prickly mustache, ouch!).

To dream of a mustache represents the personality respecting itself never needing to be nice about what it says if it doesn't want to. Asserting yourself saying whatever you want to someone else. Not fearing what you say to anyone. Talking to someone else like they aren't a grown up.

I sensed my book was known to him (it was released in June 2020).  And a verse upon waking: Jeremiah 36:6 You go, therefore, and read from the scroll which you have written at my instruction, the words of the Lord, in the hearing of the people in the Lord’s house on the day of fasting. And you shall also read them in the hearing of all Judah who come from their cities.

As I concluded writing this article, the Lord gave me a powerful confirmation to move forward.  I was searching the internet for a picture of a ‘biblical watchman on a rampart’ to be this post’s illustration.  As I searched the page for a representative image, the head pastor popped up!  I’m not kidding, he was an image in the search I did.  See the page below.  All I can say is “Amazing”, only God could give me a slap-in-the-face confirmation that I was doing His will! 

And lastly a verse: Someone calls to watchman, what is left of the night? Watchman, what is left of the night? The watchman replies, “Morning is coming, but also the night. If you would ask, then ask; and come back yet again.”  (Isaiah 21:11-12).
