Words From Dawn

Articles and prophetic words from Dawn

Dear Friends,

Friday, the Lord gave me a word for our congregation. I shared it with my husband. He then told me that he was planning to preach about fishing and overcoming failure. Then he asked me to share this word corporately Sunday morning.

After I shared the word this morning, a mom who was sitting directly in front of me handed me a drawing from her 10 year old son. He drew this picture before I spoke and before my husband preached. The picture was of a lifeboat with a very excited/happy captain and very nervous passengers. Everyone had an oar. They were in a life boat because their boat was sinking and pirates were coming. The most interesting part is they were casting a net off the end of the boat - in the midst of all the turmoil - they were fishing!

CAST YOUR NETS
Feb. 9, 2007

After work today I laid down on the floor next to my desk to pray. God took me into a vision of the time when the disciples were fishing and Jesus told them to cast their nets on the other side of the boat. I was in the boat with Jesus.

Then Jesus told me to cast the net on the other side.
I responded that we already went fishing over there.
He said cast your nets again.
Then He explained:

"I use nets for fishing. Hooks cause injury. But nets don't. Nets bring in mutitudes instead of just one at a time. Mend your nets so you can work together (unity). Mend the holes in your nets so they work properly and then cast them out again. Cast them even in places where there have been no fish, because I am going to use your nets to bring in multitudes (corporately and regionally.)

It's not about you. It's not about growth. It's about the kingdom and My will and your role and cooperation in my plan. Do not focus on numbers. Focus on my presence and my power and your purity and your passion.

Cast your nets again on the other side of the boat. And keep casting. You will bring multitudes into the kingdom.

This is the work of every believer."

I believe that this is a corporate message, for this season. Where the nets have come back empty in the past, God is going to fill them! Glory to the King!

THE FATHER'S HEART
January 30, 2007

I was praying alone on Tuesday afternoon in my 11 year old daughter's bedroom. I told God I wanted to be close to His heart, which has been a cry of mine for many weeks.

I was immediately taken into a vision of heaven. There was a Crystal sea. I passed through the water, over a large blue gemstone about 4 or 5 feet wide, a red gemstone of similar size, a green stone, a dark blue stone, and finally a huge white sapphire, all embedded in the bottom of the sea, reflecting the light that was cast upon the water. Then I was briefly taken up above the water where I could see the new city skyline in heaven - it was all lit up with light and had a golden glow. God took me back down into the water, deep beneath the city , into a tunnel, an under ground river, that ran directly beneath the city in heaven. At the base of the river was an anatomically correct heart, that stood about 10 feet tall. I was taken INTO this heart. At that point I God turned me into a red blood cell, and I was pumped through the heart and into the lungs where I was given oxygen. The oxygen was God's glory, and it was my job as one of many red blood cells in the body to carry this oxygen throughout the body depositing the oxygen/glory wherever I traveled. I traveled first to the hands, then the feet, then back through the heart and into the lungs for more oxygen, then traveled to the head, and then again back to the lungs for more oxygen. There was a blockage - like a blood clot - in one of the legs. There were other cells in the blood who had to come and remove the blockage so that the oxygen could be carried through once again.

I was made aware that all worshippers carry God's glory through the body of Christ, like a red blood cell carries oxygen. And that we have to pass back through the Father's heart and into His presence to receive the glory which we carry and disperse. If one part of the body is not able to receive the glory, then the block has to be removed in order again for God's glory to flow effectively. I was taken to areas of the body that had been shut down, including areas of brain damage, and given oxygen/glory to bring these areas back to life, as they were not cut off from the body, but were attached to the body - and part of the body.

After this visitation, I was reminded that we need to remain IN the Father's heart, and we make frequent visits into His presence (the lungs) in order to posess the glory which we are to carry and share with others. What a vivid picture! The Father's heart is the foundation under the golden city in heaven, and the river of God flows in and out from His heart! Oh Father, keep us very very close to your heart!
