Nothing is coincidence to many here. I ride the fence on this topic, but yesterday morning before the eclipse, we picked up a dead lamb out of the field. This stuff happens from time to time with having many animals. Of course I was very curious about its eartag for record keeping, but also, would it be some bizarre coincidental number...
Its tag number was 17229...Now, I realize I am reaching here, but to me it reads, 17.22.9 meaning a day before 23rd of September. Then come to find out, the neighbor told me when he saw it, and that was Sunday evening. So it's death turns out to be 33 days before its eartag "date"...hmmm...
I then heard that there were 33 injured in a train crash last night...yet I do see they are saying it was after the midnight hour, and it would then be 8/22/17, and not on the day of the eclipse... Ok, I will stop now. It's best to leave this stuff up to the professionals to report or discover...
I think that dead lamb, that experience, it was direct from God to YOU! Little old insignificant you, at least that is how I view myself in comparison to the big picture. What is amazing though is that God doesn't view me that way, nor you that way, nor any single one of His Sheep (very cool by the way, that you raise sheep)! Each of us, irreplaceable to Him. Each of us with a special plan and purpose He has designed for us and that NO ONE but us can fulfill. All of us together fulfilling our purpose together = His Body. Anyways though, that was a "sign" He sent to you personally!
One that maybe He sent to me... As I was out in front of the condos we are staying at while on vacation and trying to see the eclipse through all the clouds, also admittedly being a bit selfish and of a complainer and just feeling completely bummed that here I had these glasses, this telescope, all this and I spent all the money on... and now I can't even see ANYTHING. So I put all the stuff down on the table and walked back towards where the beach is so I could brood and feel sorry for myself (they have walkways between the condo buildings). Well, I stopped cold in my tracks. Because there was a monstrous web on the side of the building and connected to the bushes... and also there was this HUGE spider (I'll try come back and post pics through the edit if I can figure out how to do from my phone).
Anyone who knows me knows that I HATE spiders. They scare me to death and I'd rather come across a rat, a snake, an alligator... anything BUT a spider. Seeing it caused me to stop my brooding, complaining, taking out my frustrations by my selfish grumbling, and so on... stopped cold... and like The Holy Spirit spoke to me and told me to quit it now and that I am missing out due to my 3 year old behavior. To take a picture of the spider and then go back to where I was and look up because there was MUCH to be seen; and not to simply look at the sun but to look up all around at what is happening around the sun; that there is a reason it is cloudy and so much to see but only if one has eyes to look with. (Want to make clear that I was not told this literally or audibly, but I truly believe when a person is a believer and living in God's Will as to the best of their ability; i.e. not intentionally sinning; I believe that when we do that and seek Him constantly as I have been doing lately... just that I feel this intense and very special closeness with Jesus and I think The Holy Spirit lets us know things. Speaks to us in many different ways, could be but not necessarily through words. There are many other ways of communicating and for me anyway, that is how I feel my relationship with Jesus, with The Holy Spirit is. And He was speaking to me through my spirit.)
I listened. I went back and was feeling completely different inside, peaceful. And it was so beautiful! I was out for over an hour taking pictures and videos of all the cloud formations (they were so amazing), the varying colors of the clouds and hues of colors in the sky. Also, I could look up directly at the sun because of the cloud cover. The sun was still bright enough through the clouds to see, and I could see the brighter crescent shape from where the moon wasn't covering (wish it would have come through in pictures but it didn't and looks like one bright blob).
What I saw in the sky, or what I thought of, was the war that is happening right now in the heavens (the spiritual side of things that we can not see because right now there is separation between the physical world and the spiritual world). It is kind of like when you are a kid and look up at all the clouds and can see different things in the shapes of the clouds. I saw like that... angels, demons, dragons, etc. Some where such a bright white color and some very dark. The clouds were just so crazy, the shapes of them, the formations, how some were way high and looked like behind the sun. Some very low, like touching the roofs of buildings.
It was almost 2:48 (totality where we were) and so I started taking a video. And I kid you not, right at 2:48 there was a rumble of thunder and I heard it audibly. I thought to myself... "Wow! And I even have this recording!" I've watched it back 3 times since, and I can't hear it in the video. I don't know if it is because of the wind sound that also came through in the video and so it covered it up (because it wasn't a loud thunder clap, just a rumble and only 1-2 seconds long). I don't know if anyone else also heard it because I was out by myself, my husband had gotten bored and gone up, my kids had long since gotten bored and gone up. So, I don't know. I do know that I heard it, without a doubt.
We are so close to going home. I'm so excited! I just don't get the majority of Christians who don't believe what is all around them right now, who scoff at the spiritual and supernatural world, and some of them who say that it doesn't even exist. Because of things that have happened to me personally, I KNOW it exists because I've SEEN it with my OWN eyes. God IS supernatural and He Does Exist. So do those who follow God. Other side of the coin, that which is evil DOES exist. It's real. Yet so many Christians, it's like they put God in a box. They say, yes, He is God, He is supernatural. But then when it comes down to it, they don't really believe He Is. They don't believe He shows us things through the sun, the moon, the stars. They don't believe in that which is spiritual... the good... and the bad. I mean, even the new agers believe in that which is spiritual. They are deceived, FOR SURE, and since they do not have Jesus they believe that which demons show them, demons quite capable of making themselves look "good", look like "angels of light". Only thing that protects us from being deceived like that, is The Holy Spirit which lives within the body of those who believe in and have accepted Jesus.
So many spiritually DEAD Christians out there and it breaks my heart. Because they have no idea what they are missing out on. He is so wonderful, incredible; He is Perfection! But nope, they want to sit on the sidelines straddling the fence and being lukewarm. "It is just an eclipse. It is just the stars and the moon and Jupiter happens to be in it right now. It is nothing and it means nothing. It is just a really huge spider. It is just a dead lamb and the number on the tag is what it is. There is nothing miraculous.There are no signs and if you believe there are you are practicing astrology and headed for Hell. Nothing is extraordinary. Everything is boring and it just is what it is. It was boring. It is boring. And it will be boring. Forever. Because that is what God created. Oh yeah, let me go to my mailbox as I'm waiting on my latest royalty check from this book I wrote awhile back in which I speak of the things happening all around me right now, but I don't believe them. I believe in the check though and I hope they are not right and Jesus doesn't come back because that is going to throw a wrench in my plans to buy that new beach house." Spiritually dead.
No thanks to that! I'd rather be watching, waiting with baited breath, preparing for when He Comes! And for those with eyes to see, for those with ears to hear, He Will show them things. Some things He shows us collectively, the entire Body of Christ. And some things He shows individually, I think as a reward for following Him, for constantly seeking Him, for loving Him with that longing we feel for Him in our spirit. I mean, there are things about this world, plans and dreams I and my family have for the future, and there is nothing wrong with that. But tell you what... I'd rather have Jesus. If I knew for certain I was winning $1,000,000,000 tomorrow and so I can do anything, go anywhere, whatever I want from this world. Or... Jesus will come and get us tomorrow, take us Home, and fix this completely messed up world and make it perfect and just like it was before Adam and Eve fell. No lie, I'd pick Jesus. I love Him so much! And I have the feeling that most members here would pick Him also. It's why I love it here so much.
