The Trumpet of the Lord: "The Deep Cries out"

Dear Beloved Readers,

It is again a pleasure to share another part of the "voice" crying in the wilderness, "prepare ye the way of the Lord." This young lady is a wife, mother and a true worshipper. She has ministered in our conferences and in our prayer center with her husband Brad on the piano to bring many in the deep presence of the Lord. To God be all the Glory. Her and her husband are part of the "fore-runner" generation God is rising up in this hour with the Spirit of Elijah as Malachi prophesied.

Her generation, the x generation has so much of the enemy go against them. In our nation, this is the generation that goes to church, bring their kids to Sunday school and does some ministry, but keeps the rest of their lives for themselves. They are content as Emily would put it to eat "cardboard cake." But in her generation, God is rising up a prophetic voice through her, her husband and others, "we don't want to eat cardboard cake." Cardboard cake means to their generation, the fake, phony, and what the hands of man can make.

They are the generation that is called to raise up the youth to possess the land, but many of them are caught up in the "American Dream Church." Everything is OK, God just wants you to be happy. Their is no sin, and no problems and you never have to suffer, God loves you.

It is not easy to break out of that "American Dream Christianity." Christian TV is full with this type off preaching with no conviction of sin anymore and a cross- less Gospel. But I thank God, that God has a remnant in them He is bringing to the front to begin to declare to their peers, prepare ye the way of the Lord, Repent. They are getting very much persecuted in this nation for going against the flow of the "bless me" all "about me" Gospel, but they are willing to pay the price.

Please read this precious sisters word of the Lord. I consider her a daughter and her husband as a son in the Lord to me and Donna and their beautiful prophetic son a spiritual Grand son. You will be blessed to hear the prophetic voice of this generation mixes all together with every generation.

Psalm 42:7
Deep calls to deep
in the roar of your waterfalls;
all your waves and breakers
have swept over me.

As I meditated on this verse, having heard it many times before, I asked the Lord, "what does this mean?" "Whats the difference between a wave and a breaker?"

Suddenly the Lord answered me in a picture story. First he showed me that the difference in a breaker versus just a wave, was that the breakers are the waves that peak and curl over, and sometimes a "tube" is visible as it is rolling over and rushing toward the shore.

Having lived in Hawaii for six and a half years, I have very fond memories of afternoons spent watching the awesome surf on the north shore of Oahu. On days when the surf is 15 ft plus, as the waves break over the reefs, you can feel the vibrations rumble you to the core as you watch from the safety of higher ground. It is of course a surfers paradise. The whole coast littered with amazing surfing spots, known to all the big time surfers around the world. In the winter months especially, it is awesome surfing conditions for the big wave surfers. Well known big wave riders from all around the world wait for a call, sometimes less than 24hrs notice, about a location having optimum conditions for catching a monster wave. Big wave surfers are indeed surfers, but not all surfers are big wave riders. Big wave riders are a class all their own. Brave? Yes. Daring? Yes. Crazy? Probably. High risk, high reward. Big wave riders have left mere recreational surfing in search of something more. The deep, we might say. They probably still enjoy playing around on the 7 footers, don't get me wrong, but they longed for more, the deep cried out to the deep within them, and called them to a place of higher risk, higher reward.

Being called to the "deep" for these surfers required training beyond what a recreational surfer might endure. It is absolutely necessary for their safety if they are going to attempt to ride a 30 foot wave. The waves they are after are absolutely "breakers" in every sense of the word. Imagine a thirty foot (or taller) wall of water staring you down, making you feel like an ant. When these waves tip over the amount of force coming down is enough to plunge you down deep into the water, and roll you over and over, onto reefs and rocks that chew you up and spit you out. You have to condition yourself to be able to endure these harsh conditions if you are going to be out in water like this.

In Hawaii, they train by diving down to the bottom of the ocean in ten feet or so water, and run across the seafloor as long as they can carrying a huge rock. In addition they build endurance by swimming in the ocean waves, for lengths of time, and swimming underwater as far as you can, to simulate wipe out conditions. They have to train their bodies, and endure the pressing and crushing that comes with this territory. The learned ones know how to paddle out into the water and evaluate the surf. To take note where the good spots are, where to paddle in to a wave set, and where to back off and get out before they get crushed. They look out for each other, and sometimes risk their own life to help out a buddy.

Beginning sometime after we left Hawaii, I was having these recurring dreams about me surfing these big waves, and how crazy it seemed that I didn't wipe out, and how exciting it was to look down the face of the wave I was riding. I didn't really know why I was having these dreams, because I never once surfed while I lived there, only elementary boogie boarding, and never in waves that were more than 4-6 feet! I really thought I was having these dreams because I missed Hawaii. But now I think the Lord was calling to the deep in me, to be drawn to the deep of Him. He was going to teach me to be a "big wave surfer" so to speak, and equip me to endure the place of high risk, (or high cost), high reward. He led me to a "brotherhood" of ones that were more learned than I to train with, who would watch out for my soul as well. Just like real life big wave surfers do.

Do you hear the Lord calling and drawing you to the deep of Him? You should respond. But know that it will mean endurance training, a crushing and a pressing like you haven't experienced before, and submitting to authorities who are more learned who have been charged by the Lord to look after your soul. It is high cost to leave "recreational" Christianity, but what you will receive is high reward, from the Lord himself.
