ACTS 29 Vision

“I could see that we were getting ready for a play, a production, or an ACT. This was going to take place quite soon. I sensed much excitement and anticipation in heaven over this ‘soon coming production’ because there had been sooooooo much preparation. The preparations were the revivals in the past, leading up to this day. I saw a beautiful huge velvet dark red curtain that was presently closed, but angels were standing off to the sides ready to draw it open; on cue. Our bible study was to be a part of this cast and there were many others being prepared for this theatrical production. In the back room behind the curtain to my dismay, I saw clothing lying all around on the floor and hanging over the furniture in the room. This clothing had been discarded by the owners because it seemed to be out of style; or they didn’t think it was suitable any longer; or it didn’t fit them just right anymore because their life circumstances had changed. It just didn’t seem to have a purpose any longer because of unmet dreams and lost hope. It almost seemed like the people in the cast were unaware of the hour and that ACT 29 was almost ready to begin. These garments needed to be picked up by their owners. Their scripts were written in these garments. All the people needed to do was just come and pick up their garments and put them on. There was a heavenly host ready to assist them in putting them on.” End of the vision.

When I got home that night, I wrote out the pieces of my life; hopes, dreams, gifting's God had given me, promises God had given to me and my own failures and difficulties. All these were written on a piece of paper and I laid it all before the Lord as on an altar. I had laid down my own garments because I didn’t know how all the pieces of my life fit together. I had read Psalm 5 and it said God can make something beautiful out of the pieces of our lives when we give them all to him as an offering. The pieces of our life are what we are wearing. It can be compared to our clothing. This begins in Psalm 5:1-3, “Listen, God Please, pay attention! Can you make sense of these ramblings, my groans and cries? God, I need your help. Every morning you’ll hear me at it again. Every morning I lay out the pieces of my life on your altar and watch for fire to descend.”

There are hindrances and distractions that will try to pull us away from God’s plans and purposes for our lives. This is in Psalm 5:4, “Don’t socialize with wicked, or invite evil over as your house guest. Hot air boaster collapses in front of you. You shake your head over mischief maker. God destroys lie speaker. Blood thirsty and truth bender disgust you. And here I am, your invited guest it’s incredible! I enter your house, here I am, prostrate in your inner room. Waiting for directions to get me safely through enemy lines.”

God wants to keep us safe in the world. He loves us and provide for us as a Father does. Psalm 5:11, “But You welcome us with open arms when we run for cover to You. Let the party last all night! Stand guard over our celebration. You are famous, God, for welcoming God seekers for decking us out in delight.”

These pieces of our lives that seem to be the broken parts of us, can be put together to make a beautiful garment. God can turn our difficulties into a testimony for us. We can look at these pieces as failures or we can look at them knowing God was with us through all of it and He felt everything we felt. Nothing happens to us without God seeing it happen. He has compassion on us through it all. God is in control of our life and we only need to listen to Him, follow and obey Him. This is what I felt God was saying to me in the vision I had while driving my car.

“I want you to pick up those garments that you laid down in the past because you thought you would not be needing them; because of the discouragements that came; and because you lost hope. I want you to pick up those garments that you put away in your closet because they didn’t seem to fit in the wilderness environment you were in. I want you to pick up those garments that you didn’t think looked quite right because the time had gone by and you thought you wouldn’t be needing those clothes anymore. I want you to put on these garments again that you laid aside because things didn’t seem to be turning out the way that you had expected. You laid down your testimony and doubted anyone would want to hear it. You said, “How could this be of any good to anyone? Where is the good news in this story? How can this bring any glory to You Lord because it is all so bad and full of pain?” You didn’t think you were good enough or your testimony was good enough. Well that was all a lie and you know who is the father of lies; Satan. For I tell you the truth. I have always told you the truth. I want to comfort you, in that I am the author and the finisher of your faith and the work that I have begun in you I am well able to complete, so pick up your testimony; for it is by your testimony that you shall overcome. My Son’s blood paid for that testimony in-full and there is a harvest waiting to hear your testimony and to hear it from your lips. Clothe yourself with ‘Heaven’s Hope’ and take a deep breath, for it is by My Spirit and by My Spirit alone. I want you to know, I saw every tear and I heard every sigh. I want you to know, I was there and oversaw all of those things in your life. Now, gather together your testimonies for there are those, who need to hear them. It is not the end; it is only the beginning. The ACT; you are in the ACT. Prepare your garments for ACT 29. I have been preparing you for this next ACT. I want you to gather all of your things together now, for the audience of the world is filling the room and the curtain is about to be drawn.”

Would you Pray this prayer with me;

“Father, thank You for all the people You have placed in my life and for all the plans You have for me. Thank You also, for the people that have gone before me to lay a foundation of Faith and Acts to build upon. Hearing their testimonies has stirred an awareness in me and has enlarged my own vision of what You can do through me. Father, help me to put my garments on and to get dressed. Show me which garments are best suited for what you have called me to do. As I pick up my garments, I give You all the praise for them. Thank You that Your Glory will fill my life everywhere I go. These garments are a type of heavenly covering You want me to have. Father, thank You for all of the testimonies You have given to me. As I share my life with others, I pray that it will stir up a divine hope in all those who hear and I pray it will cause many to be saved, delivered, and made whole. I ask that You would be present in my life every time I talk about Your goodness. I pray for suddenly moments, when the unexpected happens and You intervene, because I am talking about You again. There was a price I paid to walk these things out, but Your Son Jesus paid-in-full my own debt that I could never have paid. Thank You that You cause me to be an over-comer by the blood of Jesus Christ and by the Words of my Testimony.”
