It was a warm afternoon and I was sitting out on the built-in bench that borders the deck, facing the mountain. It's not a large mountain but it forms a grand centerpiece for the view to the north of the property. As you can probably ascertain, I am again house-sitting two dogs and one cat on 7 acres of peaceful loveliness.
I was swinging my legs, as a contented child would in the summer sun, when I noticed a round portal in the white cloud before me. The message that quickly came to mind was: “The window of opportunity is quickly closing.”
I laughed and said to myself, “Okay, now you’re just making it up. A round portal, a window of opportunity? How obvious is that? Besides, how many windows are even round, right?”
Well, I guess Jesus took issue with my doubting heart because I watched as the round window suddenly became a perfect square. A moment later, the perfect square formed into a perfect rectangle. And when I say perfect, I mean the corners were perfectly squared; not a single rounded corner! That was certainly something I had never seen before.
As I watched this picture moving before my very eyes, the open portal closed and morphed into the shape of a bell. The words I heard next startled me. I sat there motionless for quite a while. No swinging of my legs anymore. The unmistakable message was different then all the rest in that this was the first time God had given me a command. A command to do something.
"Sound the alarm!"
I thought to myself, How do I do that?
I realized that whenever given the opportunity, I can tell the story of the messages God has given me from the clouds. I know to some it will seem as foolishness, but to me it couldn’t be more real or serious. I know the one who shared His thoughts with me, and I am most humbled to think He would share them with someone so utterly unlike Himself. And now I have shared them with you.
Please feel free to share these warnings with others. Time is short, and now is the time to come out of the shadows and voice a stand for Jesus. After all, He didn’t hesitate to give it all for us.
