Faith in Prayer Creates Our Future

History is a revelation of the future, for {Ecc.1:9} That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

I dreamed that I was in a chamber in Heaven. I remember calling it the "history room" because when I looked around me, I saw things that had already been accomplished in history. {Isa 42:9} Behold, the former things are come to pass (history repeats) , and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them. (Why does Father tell us of the things He desires? So we will believe His promises and pray them into existence. The future wonderful things are written in history and the promises are written in history so that we may have faith to speak them into existence.)

When I looked about me, it was like I was down here on earth; the environment looked the same. It was like having a panoramic view of everything on earth. (Seeing things the way they are on this earth but not walking by sight but by faith to see a different future. Like our Father, we speak the end from the beginning and we " calleth the things that are not, as though they were". We are making our own wonderful future in this way: {Rom.4:16} For this cause [it is] of faith, that [it may be] according to grace; to the end that the promise may be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all {17} (as it is written, A father of many nations have I made thee) before him whom he believed, [even] God, who giveth life to the dead, and calleth the things that are not, as though they were. {18} Who in hope believed against hope, to the end that he might become a father of many nations, according to that which had been spoken, So shall thy seed be. {19} And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb; {20} yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God, {21} and being fully assured that what he had promised (in history), he was able also to perform. {22} Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. {23} Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him; {24} but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, {25} who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.)

As I was looking around, I saw a pedestal (meaning: our faith lifted up toward God) with a large bowl on top (full of the prayers of the saints about to be fulfilled because they speak their own future into existence. {Rev.5:8} And when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having each one a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. {8:3} And another angel came and stood over the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should add it unto the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. {4} And thesmoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.)

So, I walked over to the bowl and looked in, and the bowl had something written in it. I was not allowed to remember what I read, but one thing I was allowed to remember was that it wasn't anything out of the Bible or anything I had ever read before. It was definitely something from the third heaven realm that man does not know nor has never seen or experienced. (The prayers of the saints are not written in the Bible and no one has read them but they are in the third heaven, as we can see.) {1Co.2:9} but as it is written, Things which eye saw not, and ear heard not, And which entered not into the heart of man, Whatsoever things God prepared for them that love him. {10} But unto us God revealed them through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. {Eph.3:20} Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,)

I remember as I read what was in the bowl, I got so excited and I looked around for something to write it down on so I could remember it later. But as I turned away from the bowl (An exhortation to not turn away from the bowl or the prayer you have prayed, keep your eyes on them and God will bring it all to pass. What could be more exciting?), my dog barked and woke me up out of the dream. (The dogs or unbelieving are attempting to have us lose sight of the fact that God has provided everything through the rest of faith, for when we believe, we rest from our works. {Heb.3:18} And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that were disobedient? {19} And we see that they were not able to enter in because of unbelief. {4:1} Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. {2} For indeed we have had good tidings preached unto us, even as also they: but the word of hearing did not profit them, because it was not united by faith with them that heard. {3} For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.)

When I fell back to sleep, I was again back in the history room. So again, I went over to the bowl and looked at those words again and looked around for something to write them down on, and again I was awakened out of my sleep by some sort of noise. (The distractions of the world in the parable of the sower kept the believer from bearing fruit.) Then, for the third time, I fell back to sleep and again I found myself in the history room, so I walked over to the bowl again. I remember saying, "I must write this down so I can remember it later", but when I did, I felt something tap my hip as I was lying in bed and it woke me up. When I fell back to sleep again, I was no longer in the history room. (The Lord wounded Jacob in his thigh so that in his weakness God could be made strong.)

(The power imparted by God's Spirit will impart to us the life and walk of Jesus. {Act.1:8} But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.) I believe we are being encouraged to pray for the latter rain. {Zec.10:1} Ask ye of the Lord rain in the time of the latter rain, even of the Lord that maketh lightnings; and he will give them showers of rain, to every one grass in the field. Jesus, as the latter rain, is about to be poured out onto those waiting and asking for it. {Pro.1:23} Turn you at my reproof: Behold, I will pour out my spirit upon you; I will make known my words unto you. {Hos.6:3} And let us know, let us follow on to know the Lord: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth. (The overwhelming majority of God's people have rejected His power from Heaven that the early disciples received in the book of Acts, as they walked as Jesus did. {Joh.14:12} Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto the Father. {7:38} He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.)

Something else I remember while I was in the history room, was I remember seeing the people right before the flood. Right before the flood came, they saw something in the sky. I don't really know what they saw, but somehow in the Spirit I sensed they saw the Angel of the Lord. And for some reason that I can't explain, I don't think it was Michael or Gabriel; it was a much more powerful angel. It was like it was a very special angel reserved only for some extraordinary event; like an end-time event or something. I really don't know. (We have dreams where an angel of the Lord appeared in the heaven and called for the people to follow Him to the refuge in the wilderness.)

Also, I remember, as I was falling back to sleep for the fourth time, I heard these words in the Spirit: "The world has never seen the nakedness of luxury". (I believe the inference is that they soon will see the nakedness of luxury.) {Pro.23:1} When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, Consider diligently him that is before thee; (2) And put a knife to thy throat, If thou be a man given to appetite. (3) Be not desirous of his dainties; Seeing they are deceitful food. (4) Weary not thyself to be rich; Cease from thine own wisdom. (5) Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? For riches certainly make themselves wings, Like an eagle that flieth toward heaven. (6) Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, Neither desire thou his dainties: (7) For as he thinketh within himself, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee. (What is a luxury? Something we cannot afford to do or to have. Our race is against the flesh. We cannot afford to give into it or the spiritual man, Christ in you, will lose ground in our promised land. We cannot afford to live in sin or we will miss the boat. We cannot afford the prosperity life of the flesh that loves the world and the lusts of it and robs the soul. {Mat.13:22} And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. Why does luxury make us naked? Because we are to put on the works of Jesus, like clothing, to cover our sinful works. {Rom.13:14} But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof]. {Rev.19:8} And it was given unto her (the Bride) that she should array herself in fine linen, bright [and] pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. {2Co.5:3} if so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. Jesus and His disciples had no time or desire for luxury; they desired to do their Father's business. Look at the luxury preachers running after the Pope.)

Excerpts from The Shepherd of Hermas on luxury:.

Eighth Commandment: Restrain yourself, therefore, from all iniquity, and do that which is good". "What, sir", say I, "are the evil deeds from which we must restrain ourselves?" "Hear", says he: "from adultery and fornication, from unlawful reveling, from wicked luxury, from indulgence in many kinds of food and the extravagance of riches, and from boastfulness, and haughtiness, and insolence, and lies, and backbiting, and hypocrisy, from the remembrance of wrong, and from all slander. These are the deeds that are most wicked in the life of men. From all these deeds, therefore, the servant of God must restrain himself. For he who does not restrain himself from these, cannot live to God.
Twelfth Commandment: Foremost of all is the desire after another's wife or husband, and after extravagance, and many useless dainties and drinks, and many other foolish luxuries; for all luxury is foolish and empty in the servants of God. These, then, are the evil desires which slay the servants of God. For this evil desire is the daughter of the devil. You must refrain from evil desires, that by refraining ye may live to God. But as many as are mastered by them, and do not resist them, will perish at last, for these desires are fatal. Put you on, then, the desire of righteousness; and arming yourself with the fear of the Lord,
Sixth Similitude: And he said to me, "Do you see this shepherd?" "I see him, sir", I said. "This", he answered, "is the angel of luxury and deceit: he wears out the souls of the servants of God, and perverts them from the truth, deceiving them with wicked desires, through which they will perish; for they forget the commandments of the living God, and walk in deceits and empty luxuries; and they are ruined by the angel, some being brought to death, others to corruption:" I said to him, "Sir, I do not know the meaning of these words, 'to death, and to corruption'". "Listen", he said. "The sheep which you saw merry and leaping about, are those which have tom themselves away from God for ever, and have delivered themselves over to luxuries and deceits [of this world. Among them there is no return to life through repentance, because they have added to their other sins, and blasphemed the name of the Lord. Such men therefore, are appointed unto death. And the sheep which you saw not leaping, but feeding in one place, are they who have delivered themselves over to luxury and deceit], but have committed no blasphemy against the Lord. These have been perverted from the truth: among them there is the hope of repentance, by which it is possible to live. Corruption, then, has a hope of a kind of renewal, but death has everlasting ruin".

Do you believe that your faith and prayers toward God, Who wrote His promises in history, will make a glorious future for you? Listen to what He said: {Jas.4:2} Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and covet, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war; ye have not, because ye ask not. {Mat.8:13} And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; as thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee... {9:22} But Jesus turning and seeing her said, Daughter, be of good cheer; thy faith hath made thee whole ... And the woman was made whole from that hour. {29} Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it done unto you. {Joh.15:7} If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you. {Mar.11:22} And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. {23} Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. {24} Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. {25} And whensoever ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any one; that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.

What is it that you need, saints? Ask and believe you have received until you see it. Keep your eyes on your request and the fact that you have been answered according to the promises. Be patient as your faith is proven in temptation to believe otherwise and God will answer all. {Jas.1:2} Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations; {3} Knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience. {4} And let patience have [its] perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.

Are you believing for a healing, deliverance from sin, a child, wife or husband to be saved? {Heb.10:23} let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised. . . . Listen to Belinda's testimony, who held her confession for her husband to be saved -- and he was ... in his final minutes.
