"The American band of martyrs"
[ spoken audibly by an angel of the Lord. ]
I went into a vision. I was standing in a crowd of 20 or so, gathered around a small platform. On that platform, there was a skid: the exact same type as you'd see on skid row; the kind that fork lift drivers lift up with stacks of product & boxes in a ware house; made of cheap frame wood, small, maybe 4 or 5 feet square.
Everyone was staring at that skid with a holy fear, with Godly apprehension...with an awesomeness of something to come....& then I understood why. A group of 4 or five men & women crowded on that skid, & they were instantly transported to foreign shores, & began ministering the Gospel...& soon afterwards, I watched as they were slaughtered, cut up & butchered by murderers who hated the Gospel.
There blood was all over that skid, red & wet. Then I watched as a hose, just like your lawn hose at a typical American house, appeared, an began to wash that skid clean, & it was instantly transported back to the meeting.....in the same place.
The solemness of the situation was overwhelming....a very holy time, & I could see that another group was deciding whether or not to commit....somberly, & consciously, they all decided to go. They too stepped up on that platform skid, & they too were transported to another land, where they began to spread the Lord-Ship of Jesus & His Salvation, & they too were slaughtered by wicked men who despised Jesus.
Then the water hose appeared again, & there blood was cleansed from the skid, & it too returned back to that holy meeting. This happened again & again & again.....over & over, with different groups setting foot aboard the Martyr Skid....going....knowing what awaited them.
Finally, a musical Gospel group gravely decided to do the same, & fearfully stepped up & waited for their fate, & they too were taken. Then , from behind my shoulder, an Angel of the Lord...or the Lord Himself spoke: "THE AMERICAN BAND OF MARTYRS!"
The Vision ended.
Ideas & Implications. We are in the End-Times, & the Spirit of Holiness is being poured upon the True Church like fire, like hot coals from the alter of God. Those that truly belong to the Lord are suffering, being constantly constrained by the Lord, as He secures their calling and status as a holy, obedient Nation of Priests : MALE & FEMALE .
In this holy apprehension, the Lord is giving us the strength to DO what we cannot; Walk in sacrificial, Divine Love, no matter what the cost to us! He possesses us, claims us, & is able to give us a measure of His heart for the lost: TO GO!...carrying His Heart & His Gospel...no matter the personal cost to us. He did this with all of His early Apostles & Disciples; Remember Peter:
..."He said to him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, do you love Me?” Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, “Do you love Me?”
And he said to Him, “Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You.”
Jesus said to him, “Feed My sheep.
Most assuredly, I say to you, when you were younger, you girded yourself and walked where you wished; but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will gird you and carry you where you do not wish.”
This He spoke, signifying by what death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, “Follow Me."
Peter got onto that skid....girded by ANOTHER...the Lord Himself, & not wanting to be butchered......but wanting to love & feed the sheep & wanting to be obedient to His Master....got on board...& was indeed martyred.
Many, many of those reading this will also be called to do the same...& God will give Grace.
Remember Stephen: the first witness. There will be millions, ministered by the sword of Islam...& many in Islam, & paganism, will be converted to believe, & will be saved in Heaven forever....
Jesus was our forerunner....who willingly laid down His life for them, & for us....& we must follow Him wherever He goes....& we will.
