Let Freedom Ring!

I am writing this message after much contemplation, trying to understand what the Lord is trying to convey from a dream I received early Saturday morning, January 22, 2022. I will begin with the dream and then attempt to share what I believe the Holy Spirit has revealed to me while in prayer and from scripture I was led to study.
THE DREAM:
I was standing inside a dark garage that I knew was not used for parking a car, but more for storage of things like tools, and ladders, and lawnmowers, and junk . . . very reminiscent of my old garage before it burned in a fire last year. I could not see what was in there with me, but I felt a presence and heard the ever so slight flapping of wings. I decided that a bird must have somehow gotten trapped inside, so I stumbled around trying to find my way to the roll-up door. After groping around in the dark, I finally found the handle that operated the door and began to raise it slowly. As light started to flood the space, I heard the very erratic flapping of wings behind me. Suddenly, this huge squawking eagle with a wingspan the entire width of the garage door opening flew out above me. I had to duck my head as it swooped past, determined to escape its captivity. I watched as it flew out into the sunshine and began to climb higher and higher, soaring majestically above the treetops. It was an awesome sight. Then I heard something at my feet. I looked down to find that a small fluffy kitten had also wandered out of the garage into the daylight. It was beautiful with big expressive eyes and a meow that let me know it was very hungry and needed my attention. In the dream, I remember wondering how such a tiny thing could have survived being trapped in a confined space with such a huge bird of prey. (End of Dream.)
SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE:
I thought about this dream all day but after writing it in my journal, I could not bring myself to any conclusive spiritual understanding. Yes, I could have just shared the dream only, but I did not want to cause any confusion in the body of Christ. I, myself, have been somewhat confused for months, as I felt like I was receiving conflicting messages about the destiny of America, which the Holy Spirit has shown me to be mystery Babylon (Rev. 18). God’s word is true. Mystery Babylon will fall! I have even been charged with issuing a declaration (published on this site) about God’s judgment coming upon America. I have also received dreams (again, published on this site) regarding the fact that God is not yet finished using President Trump for His end-time purposes. Even that was a bit confusing to me. However, I could somehow justify that in my own mind, not knowing exactly how God would choose to use DJT. It could be for our good or to bring forth judgment. God’s ways are not our ways! Who has been His counselor? Surely, not I. I am just going to trust that He knows how to bring about His desired plan to fruition.
I have heard other prophets give encouraging words about the ‘glory days’ that lie ahead for America. Believing that Jesus is coming very soon . . . even at the door, I had a hard time accepting this. How would there yet be time for such ‘glory days’ to occur unless there is a lengthy delay? I questioned in my heart the validity of these prophecies as I felt they did not line up with my own perception of America’s (Mystery Babylon’s) future as revealed in scripture, especially the book of Revelation.
NOW, with this dream, I am faced with the possibility that my thinking may be erroneous. So, I have diligently been seeking the Lord on this matter. If America is Mystery Babylon, how can she FALL . . . AND . . . BE SET FREE to experience those ‘glory days’? This became a personal conundrum, but I know God is not the author of confusion. Yes, the human mind may automatically come to the conclusion that only one of these scenarios could be true, but certainly not BOTH! I have sought with much prayer for understanding on this topic as it seems to more and more take center stage in my prophetic dreams. Today, after once again asking the Lord for insight, I was led to read from the book of Isaiah. I would hope you will take some time and read at least the first few chapters to get the gist of what I will now bring forth as what I have discerned from this study of God’s word.
I have been shown on other occasions that the blessings as well as the judgments meted out to the children of Israel or to Jerusalem has served AS THE PATTERN for both blessings and judgments upon America. Keeping this in mind, I knew the Lord was showing me something important about the future of America by reading Isaiah. Please understand that I am not saying that any of what I am sharing is ‘thus saith the Lord.’ This is just my feeble attempt to understand the puzzle pieces that the Lord gives me and try to put them into the big picture in the proper place. This will be an overview of what I see as a possible good fit for puzzle pieces received from this brief dream.
In the beginning of Isaiah, the prophet sees a vision concerning Judah and Jerusalem. The Lord had spoken saying, ‘I have nourished and brought up children, and they have rebelled against Me.’ They are called a sinful nation, a people laden with iniquity, corrupters; they have forsaken the Lord and provoked the Holy One of Israel unto anger, etc. etc. Their country is desolate, their cities burned with fire . . . except the Lord had left a remnant, they should have been as Sodom and Gomorrah (utterly destroyed). Their hands were full of blood. Yet the Lord admonished them to wash, get clean, put away evil doings from before His eyes, learn to do well, etc. etc. Then we read in Is. 1:18-20:
“Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient, ye shall eat the good of the land: But if ye refuse and rebel, ye shall be devoured with the sword: for the mouth of the Lord hath spoken it.”
This verse I believe is very important in understanding the two scenarios we looked at above as possibilities for America (#1 – FALL or #2 – SET FREE). In the verses in Isaiah we find TWO CAMPS with TWO DIFFERENT ENDINGS:
- OBEDIENT – EAT THE GOOD OF THE LAND;
- REBELLIOUS – DEVOURED WITH THE SWORD.
As we move into Chapter 2 of Isaiah, verse 2 says, ‘And it shall come to pass IN THE LAST DAYS . . .’ which gives a time frame for the events spoken of. We see from the rest of Chapter 2, during the end of days there will be two types of people. The first group will say, ‘Let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob, and He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths . . . O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.’ The second group will worship the works of their hands (idolatry). They are mean men, proud, lofty & haughty. They don’t say ‘Let’s go up to the mountain of the Lord’. Instead, they enter into the rocks and hide for fear of the Lord, and for the glory of His majesty! Again, we see the pattern of TWO CAMPS with TWO DIFFERENT ENDINGS (Is. 3:10-11):
- THE RIGHTEOUS – it shall be well;
- THE WICKED – woe, it shall be ill with him for the reward of his hand shall be given him.
If you continue reading Is. 3:12-15, you may agree with me that this certainly fits a pattern that is presently being repeated in America: “. . . O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people. The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients (elders) of His people, and the princes (leaders) thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses. What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? Saith the Lord God of hosts.”
Folks, I don’t know exactly what the dream interpretation is, but I believe the Lord has shown me that there are TWO CAMPS in America:
ONE CAMP includes those who are now controlling our government (whether openly or behind the scenes) and are doing everything in their power to take away freedoms from every American by enslaving them to the Beast System which is most probably ‘Mystery Babylon.’ This CAMP, though headquartered in America, has its evil tentacles and agenda spread throughout the globe. This is the ‘Babylon’ whose ‘merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries, were all nations deceived’ (Rev. 18:23). All in this CAMP will be exposed. There will be no place for them to hide from the coming judgments. In due time they will receive their just recompense for rebellion against the One True God. This is the ‘Babylon’ that will FALL.
The OTHER CAMP, I believe, are those who are part of the Bride of Christ, or those destined to be part of the Lord’s End-Time Harvest in the not too distant future. The Lord knows who are His, and not one will be lost. Yes, our homeland will see great judgments with much death and devastation. But this will also be a time like no other. A time of signs and wonders, a time of greater works even than what Christ did while walking the earth. Our God will show Himself mighty to save. This CAMP will experience much suffering, but also ‘Days of Glory’! Not ‘America’s glory’ but the ‘GLORY OF GOD’ will be manifested upon the earth through His mighty works upon the children of men. I pray God will use me as one of His instruments in this great work. Perhaps God has reserved President Trump as one of His instruments to purge this country of the evil that has it ensnared. I don’t know! I wasn’t given a copy of the Master Plan. I don’t think anyone has a copy. We all just have bits and pieces. I have recently become aware of a movement you can research called ‘An Appeal to Heaven’ (Dutch Sheets/Give Me 15). It’s amazing that this information was never taught to us in our American History classes. American was founded as a nation under God and our God honors His covenants. When we as His people appeal to the courts of heaven, we have an advocate with the Father who will stand and plead our cause just as we learned in Isaiah chapter 3. Our God is a just God. His mercy is everlasting.
One other thing I’d like to point out from the dream. The scene started out in a DARK garage. It is a high probability this was a reference to the time-frame referred to as the 3 days of darkness. (You can research that topic on this site).
The three characters in the dream were
- myself (representing the end-time army/first-fruits/harvesters);
- the huge eagle (representing, I believe, God’s people in America who are facing captivity by the growing beast system); and
- the hungry kitten with the big expressive eyes. I believe the kitten represents another group of people that for whatever reason are under God’s protection – perhaps the lost or wandering sheep that will come into the fold at a later time, or the poor and needy – those we need to teach about Jesus and care for their physical needs in times of trouble.
I know other prophets have given words that speak to the fact that at the end of the 3 Days of Darkness, the Harvesters will be called forth and the Great End-Time Harvest will begin. I find it interesting that I encountered many verses which speak of the days of darkness in my study in Isaiah . . . Is. 5:30, 8:22, 13:10, to name a few.
MY CONCLUSION:
There are TWO CAMPS in America. Those who continue to REBEL against a Holy God will receive just recompense, and those who choose to OBEY God and listen for His instructions will be set free. At the appointed time, our Lord will make Himself known upon this earth in ways we can only imagine. “IN THAT DAY shall the branch of the Lord be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth shall be excellent and comely for them that are escaped of Israel (Is. 4:2).” “The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined” . . . “For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder: and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon His kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this (Is. 9:2, 6-7).
My prayer is that all who read this post, will seek the Lord. If you are living in rebellion against God, as long as breath remains in your body, it is not too late to repent. Turn away from your sin and ask God for forgiveness. Though your sins be as scarlet, He will wash you white as snow! He does not want anyone to perish and receive the recompense that awaits the wicked. He is waiting for you with open arms. He wants to spend eternity with you! No one will ever love you like Jesus does! If you already belong to Him, I encourage you to stand firm, hold fast to Him and don’t let go. He will never let go of you! Yes, we surely have some hard times still to go as satan makes war with the saints, but just remember this – he that endures to the end shall be saved. It is always darkest just before the dawn! And when the darkness is past, we will be like that eagle . . . ready to get out of captivity. Hallelujah to our King, LET FREEDOM RING!
Yours for the Harvest,
Averine
