Written Version:
On 3:07 AM on December 19th I woke up from a vivid series of dreams. The series was just like watching a T.V. series, back-to-back, but on fast-forward. The locations were around the world, on-site all throughout Asia, Europe, North America, South America, and Africa. I saw scenes of people from every race, and they were jutting about, zooming ahead to buy and sell. Some were looking and chasing and inquiring, there were accidents, and just mountains and mounds of activities accumulating in a burst of acceleration across the seven continents of the earth. People were busy, caught up in their own things, pursuits, ambitions–and no one seemed very concerned or even aware of what others were doing unless it directly related to them.
Then in one of the scenes there was a large road accident in India and God just zoomed me in to this vignette. The accident involved people that had been traveling in all sorts of modes of transportation, just like normal traffic in India–cars and cycle-shaws and rickshaws and bicycles. One of the men had gotten really hurt in this sort of domino effect. So there was about 8 families waiting for the police to come, but the one man was laying on the side of the road, impaled by this large metal instrument that he was carrying on his bicycle. So I ran over to the group that was waiting for the police, and they all seemed disconnected from each other and they also were almost blind to the man that was dying from the impact of the accident. So I called out in Hindi “If there is a doctor, you please come quickly!” and one of the men jumped up along with one of women and said “I am a doctor!” and ran over to the man who didn’t have any time to wait for anyone to come to Him. Then in the midst of all this information, I was standing there, and I heard a voice saying “Don’t be distracted, don’t be distracted, don’t be distracted.” There was just this intentional urgency and it had to do with the imminent return of Christ and so as I stood there in the midst of all this information I was wondering “Well, then what am I supposed to do next?” Then I looked up into the heavens and there in the sky I saw the word ASK in three very large letters. So I took some time to ponder this before the Lord to find out the interpretation and this is what I believe the Holy Spirit is saying:
Number one: There is a sleep that comes from inactivity, but there is also a sleep and distraction that comes from too much activity. You can go on automatic, overload, get disconnected, and callused. You can be there, but not actually be present. We need to guard against this.
Number two: all the activity can sweep us up and forward along with everyone else and in the midst of that we can forget that we are citizens of the Kingdom of Heaven. We need to stay awake and be alert and not get distracted. We need to be intentional about His role for us and seeing His kingdom come and His will be done on earth at this time.
Number three: I honestly was surprised when the Lord said the answer to all of this is “Ask”. And so I shared the dream with one of my friends and she said “Well what is it we’re supposed to be asking for?” And I said “Well, ask what the bible says to ask for, His Kingdom to come, His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven, for the nations as Christ’s inheritance, for God himself to thrust out laborers into the harvest field, for the fields are ripe. Exercise your priesthood. I believe that 2010 is the year that we need to activate it and run forward unlike any other time before. Lay hold of your role as his ambassador. Take up prayer and worship in and over your areas of gifting and calling. Be alert, don’t sleep while you’re driving. Ask Him what He wants you to be asking for, and get ready because He might have a surprise for you.
1st Peter 2:5 “But You are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, and holy nation, a people belonging to God that you may declare the praises of Him who had called you out of the kingdom of darkness and into His glorious Kingdom of light.” And Matthew 24:37 “As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark. And they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them away. That is how it will be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man, two men will be working in field, one will be taken, the other left. Two women will be grinding with the hand-mill, one will be taken, the other left. Therefore keep watch because you do not know on what day your Lord will come.”
Amen?

Hallelujah!!!!!
Thank you!! and to Cynthing in Texas… Knowing who’s we are makes the asking easier….Blessings on you all for sharing!!!!
Thank you for sharing this vision. I too have felt an urgency to do His will now before time runs out. Too much activity can distract and this is somehting I must beware of in my own walk. Thank you for this reminder and being His faithful messenger. God Bless You and your family.
Thank you so much for this reminder. ASK. Ask Seek Knock to see what God is doing and what is my role in this.
Amen.
A friend sent me a copy of your dream—yes, I am in agreement that distraction is a huge factor in people’s lives today . Many voices are speaking to our minds and we simply must seek the Lord for what He has on our schedule for the day. I notice, even in conversations, that distrctions come so easily. Ephesans 5:8-17 has really been speaking to me lately. Wake up Your church, LORD! Thanks for sharing. Salli
I awoke early this morning sensing that I would hear from the Lord this morning. I had actually not connected the call to sit early this morning with your message as I read about our covenant making and keeping God. But then with great pleasure I heard Him whisper into my heart.
A S K Almighty Soveriegn King.
I think this fits perfectly into your message. Just look up and know He is…. A S K. When you ask, know whom you ask, A S K.
Accept with a joyful and obedient heart, the will of A S K.
How much I love the Lord and how blessed we are to be His. And I thanked Him today for your faithfulness to serve and not be distracted.
Praise His Holy Name!
Thank you for sharing the vision God gave to you.
The Body of Christ must awaken and awaken quickly.
Praying people may join Billye Brim along with people from over 50 nations who pray together via the internet for and hour every Wed. at noon for an Awakening to God in America and around the world.
Corporate prayer is powerful. May we pray His Kindgom come His will be done on the earth as it is in heaven.
We must no longer be watchers in the wings. We are being compelled to step out and display our faith and exercise our giftings. To say that we are called to intercede, or to evangelize, or to teach, or preach, etc. just does not seam to be enough. These things must be the very reason for our existence. There is no life outside of service to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Hallelujah!
Cool.
This is a timely message. We are in the last days and God wants His bride to wake up from her slumber and slothfulness. We as his bride need to do exactly what you was given in a dream for 2010. God is shaking and moving all that can be shaken to seperate the wheat from the chaff. He is also doing all this shaking to wake us up and to realize that He is our souce and that ALL THINGS ARE IN HIS CONTROL.
A Always
S Seek His
K Kingdom!!
Amen!
I have been sensing that the Rapture is near and our time is very short. We are to be about the family business (God’s Business). It is time to get serious about our relationship with Jesus; no longer as psudo-christians. The Lord is drawing us to Him for this TIME and this PLACE. We must SEEK HIM as a lifestyle full throttle. A passion is required and the Holy Spirit will give it to those who are serious about the CALL. His Church is being called to purify itself for this day and age.
Dear Kathleen,
Your word is remarkably similar to one of the first sermons delivered at our church this year. The basic theme was that, while we have “business as usual” that needs to be attended to, we need to do so with an on-going attitude of leisurely disengagement from this life. Otherwise, when the Lord comes for a visit, we could miss Him. The type was Abraham, the prosperous businessman, who included the right kind of leisurely disengagement in his life and so was positioned to see, recognize, and respond to the Lord when He came.
Thank you for the reminder. I needed it.
Blessings
If you are aware of Rapture Ready, it is an awesome website! I have learned much there!
When you said pray for ‘harvesters’, I was amazed, because God has put it in my heart to do this too just recently!! I also feel the nearness of the Lord’s return! The signs are everywhere that we are in the season of His return, what exciting times these are! Sometimes while watching TV I feel these signs everywhere. TV programing is so bad, full of these signs we are supposed to be watching for;eating, drinking, marrying(The Bachelor), children being disobedient to their parents(The Nanny)Nightline(”it’s a sign of the times”)and the list goes on! Plus we are seeing the One World government coming into being. Apostacy is everywhere in the church, people wanting their ‘ears tickled’, yes the false doctrines are everywhere(mega churches). We are seeing an increase in earthquakes, strange weather conditions. We have a president who wants abortion funded worldwide by America’s tax payers. PLEASE LORD JESUS, COME QUICKLY!
Thank you. Unless we are hearing from the Lord we will not have the answers the world needs at this time of Crisis. The purpose He has given me for this year is to get closer to the Lord and and help others do the same.
Scripture says we are to heed the prophets and do well. Paraphrasing that I know, but God has brought together the prophets and appostles adding them along side the pastors, teachers and evangelists to equip the saints.
War is war. not funny games, not ooey gooey spiritual experiences. it is a taking up of the word of God, and planting the heavens with the word of God. the “dirty Harry” prayers are some of the best to start with. (psalm 68 and several others like it). I hear in your depiction that the Lord is saying to war, daily, and not just over personal issues, but for the nations. For one thing, that they may remain individual nations. some things going on at this time in the earth would replace the individual nations with a man made world system. and the passage out of the scripture about the “giving in marriage” and such, but years ago the Lord pointed out to me the passage about Uriah who understood what it took to remain at war.
It is time for us to lay before Him, as did the people in the college in Wales during WWII, but because of their availability (they really couldn’t do anything else) God inspired them to pray that Hitler would turn, and God did it. and it was in the newspapers, Hitler Turns. I hear a call to this position of committment, in your word shared, and I know that I long to see it for it is a different attitude, a different way of interacting with the Lord. a place of standing, not going over to the field of Lord for a lark and some play on the merry-go-round and then off to market, or where ever. and another prophet specifically said he understood the Lord to be saying that we needed as the Body of Christ get a handle on what was happening during Noah’s day and not do it. then again, not everyone is called to war. blessings.
Thank you for sharing what the Lord has given you.
God bless you, Kathleen. In coordination with Billye Brim I believe one of the things we are to be asking for is an awakening to God throughout the world.
Amen and Amen! I know India has come to mind lately, I had gotten an email from a missionary working to save young girls that are sold into sex slavery.
Also coming to mind, how we really are not in touch with how the Lord is always there for us, working in us and through us. But we do not ask because we do not believe He walks with us. All across the world, many people are not aware or asking of God He is telling us/me. Thankyou and God Bless you Kathleen and Wayne!
Thank you Kathleen, for that wonderful word from the Lord that he put into your heart and your dream. I believe that the harvest is truly ready and so I ask that you might pray form me, that i will be able to stand strong for the Lord and be able to tell his children of his soon cooming, including my adult children and thier children. You truly are his messenger. To your message i say a big AMEN,and AMEN.
Oh what a word for today. Kathleen, your message spoke to my heart and I feel that this is exactly what the Lord is saying to me. The Lord is saying to me to get focused, pray, worship, and do daily what He has for me to do. These are the last days of the last days. Satan is at full speed dividing families, churches, and anyone who is trying to do the Lord’s will. We must look past those things and keep on keeping on stepping out on faith and do what we are called to do. I am convinced that we are in the ultimate battle and it is not against people but the powers and principalities of the devil. Thank you for reinforcing the Word of the Lord. God bless you.
