In the vision I dreamt I was fishing, then God said, "bait not the
hook, but throw it into the water". I did, and I caught what was the largest fish I
could have imagined. It was a silver fish, very beautiful and very large. The
vision was very intense and not at all a dream... I have waited, and waited... and it
was the day before yesterday I was thinking of this vision again and I was asking,
when Lord, when will this "big fish" be. And with that vision I was standing by
the banks of a river seemingly in waters others did not want to be in, others meaning
people in the church.

They were making comments about the waters being polluted and they
would not go into it. But I merely reached into the first foot or two
by the bank and was feeling around under the soil beneath the waters and I felt
what seemed to be stones... as I raised them from the waters and found I had retrieved
a very precious jewel, then another, then another... every time I dipped into the waters
another jewel I would bring up and every one I brought up the Lord said "these are counted
unto you". I told the Lord, these cannot be mine. And again the Lord said, "these are counted
unto you". Then I heard a voice from The Lord from across the river and He called to me and
said, these are the waters I send my Josephs to, in these waters are placed the jewels of Heaven.
The Pharisees and the Sadducees would not touch these waters because they would not reach
into these waters to gather what was precious within them. Then I looked up and saw that those,
even some I knew became jealous that I had taken out treasure from these waters, but instead of
joining me they murmured and complained and some spoke of killing me. And I looked and I now
saw many taking these jewels from the waters, even children, small children... were reaching into
these waters and were bringing up these most precious of jewels... it seemed there was no limit to
the treasure that was in the waters... it was not a hard chore, it was not digging, and scooping... it
was simply reaching into the waters just off the shore beneath just a little soil near the surface and everyone was finding jewels and gems and were filling up their arms,... men, women, boys and girls...
and the church would not touch these waters... but the children of God continued to gather as religious leaders continued to grow more hardened and it was as if they were blind to the treasure that was being taken from the waters and were insistent that no one should be reaching into the waters at all because they said it was polluted.

They wanted to make laws to keep any from gathering any more gems.
They stood before God accusing all who were doing this, and they thought
they had God's ear in this matter, but I looked and God stood as though He did
not hear any words they spoke... God looked as though He were totally deaf as these
spoke to them.

I had not intended to be so detailed about this former vision but
as I wrote it I was again impressed to explain it more. This is again, as you must know by now...
a vision of the harvest. We shall gather gems from the waters the church has said...is too polluted
to even reach into. And again the Great Fish that was caught was the biggest Fish (biggest revival)
and was caught without baiting the hook,... this is for God to say... "No man cometh unto me, but
first the Father draw them" and it is to say, that without the bait then no man will boast of the catch saying, "this is the way I have caught a catch for the Lord, this way is a way I have done and God has blessed - "My Way"... no... it shall be the catch of the Lord and it shall be by the drawing of His spirit and none of us shall boast... we will not be able to look to our own actions and declare that it was anything we did to bring this catch in. We shall say, we were just feeling around in waters we were
told were too polluted to go near when we shall "feel something in the waters" and when we shall
bring out of those waters what we have felt in them we shall find the most precious of gems.

My soul waits and is impatient... yet for such a prize I should be
willing to wait as long as it takes. And the voice of the Lord came again and said, "I have said I have prepared many that hear my voice, many I have raised up and have taught myself, many that have not been taught by men, the doctrines of men, but many I have taught the words of my lips and the will of my heart. These I have brought up from the womb of their mothers... and there are many.

These are the ones I am calling out of obscurity into the light and it
is these that the Pharisees will again be Jealous of. I will turn none away that shall seek my face in this time. I have risen up and I walk the earth gathering these that I have appointed for this time. I am opening their eyes to know this time and to understand what I have called them to.

They are my chosen vessels and they did not know it... and those
arrogant that have called themselves chosen I will cast aside, these have offended me and I shall
not use them, unless they repent. They are liars that say my hand shall not be restored. My hand
shall be restored and the power and the strength of my arm shallgo throughout the earth. I am
closing the time of the Gentiles with a
gathering and with a gathering am I opening again the door to Jerusalem. Blessed are these that
I have raised and were not taught of men. These shall bring forth the jewels of the Kingdom of
Heaven... these shall be rich... everyone who reaches into these waters no matter their age.
Despise not these waters as the Pharisees for in them lie the jewels of the Kingdom. I say of
them as I said of those who prayed in public and made a show of their righteousness... truly
they already have their reward for they have surrounded themselves with riches and have
taken to themselves the praises of men... this is their reward, that they have lived in the love
of the world and surrounded themselves with riches and have made themselves fat from the
table of those who give them praise... all the while my children stood outside begging and they
heard not the cry and gave them not a crumb to eat... hear me, I have heard the cry of them
that have hungered and I shall answer their cry and I shall feed them with a feast and the
shepherds that have grown fat on the praises of men, shall the fat within them turn to a hunger.

And as I saw these things again I fall before the Lord now and cry
out, "When oh Lord, When will these things be?" And the Lord said again, "Gather
yourselves unto me in prayer and seek my face, my people must come unto me and be one
in spirit and in love" "Eyes have not seen and ears have not heard the glories I will do on
the earth in this hour". "In this hour shall I finish the time of the Gentiles and again turn
my eyes to Jerusalem"... "It is not by power nor by strength of any man, but it is by my
spirit, lest any man should boast".
