Vision: The Valley of Megiddo

by Mitt Jeffords

In this vision, I saw a valley that was somewhere between 50 to 100 miles long and 20 to 25 miles wide. I observed what appeared to be this massive battle because there was a cloud of dust that stretched over the entire valley. I also heard much shouting, yelling, squeals, screams of agony as well as many other voices in distress. Then some how, this cloud of dust cleared away, and I saw what appeared like all of mankind in this valley; for there was every nationality, race, creed, and color. I then observed many arguments, and fights, and strife, and contentions, and even wars among the people in the valley. There was much trouble and unrest all through the valley. Then my eyes were opened and saw multitudes, and multitudes of demons, and a countless number of lifeless, dark spirits, and many small clouds of darkness; and all of these forces of Darkness were just pounding away against all mankind.

As I stood there observing this scene of pure chaos and madness, I was amazed to see that there was not one man that could see or discern that these forces of Darkness were the cause for all of the chaos and madness that was occurring throughout the valley. I saw clouds of darkness compass the bodies of men; I saw demons just stepping in and out of human beings as easy as one would step in and out of a shower; I saw wicked spirits just fly right threw the bodies of men; and I saw the darkness itself clinging as a tight fitting sweater to the souls of men. I observed that all of these things had great power to possess or to pass through the thoughts of men; and when they departed out of them, they left behind them many wicked imaginations and tormenting thoughts that peoples were powerless to resist. I observed that after spirits departed from a body, the person was left subject to think on and do the counsels that the Darkness had left behind; for all saw men subject to all manner of fears and paranoia; all manner of hatred and desires for revenge; all manner of bitterness; all manner of hopelessness; all manner of confusion; all manner of envy and jealousy; all manner of abuse and intimidation; all manner of frustration; all manner of loneliness; all manner of greed and lust; all manner of self-condemnation and guilt; all manner of arrogance and boasting; all manner of fornication and adultery; all manner of depression; all manner of malice; all manner of unforgiveness; all manner of anxiety and worry; all manner of theft and corruption; all manner of drunkenness and addictions; all manner of accusations and slander; all manner of agony and pain; and all manner of killings and murder. I also saw that the darkness that was clinging tightly to the bodies of men, it brought much sin with it as well as many kinds of debilitating sicknesses and fatal diseases. I heard many, many loud voices coming from this valley that were taking the Lord’s name in vain; that were cursing God, mocking God, blaspheming God, and that were blaming God for all that chaos and madness that had come upon them; yet, it was not the Lord in that valley that had brought these things upon them but the forces of darkness.

I then observed these forces of darkness attack the carnally minded church in a very vicious manner; like a pack of wolves completely overwhelming a defenseless sheep. As the attack grew more intense, I saw them become subject to the same chaos and madness that was in the rest of the valley, but they also were attacked with doubts, hypocrisy, fears, contentions, heavy burdens, divisions, strife, iniquity, and unbelief. I saw that there was no fear of God among these nor was there any of the faith that stands in the power of God to keep these sheep under the watchful eye of the Lord’s protection. This part of the church appeared as troubled and dazed sheep that had gone astray from the love of their God.

Matthew 24:19 “Woe to them that are with child, and to them that give suck (the carnally minded that only feed on the milk of the word) in those days!”

I Peter 1:5 “Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.”

Jeremiah 33:40 “And I will make an everlasting covenant with them so that I will not turn away them, to do them good; and I will put my fear in their hearts so that they will not depart from me.”

Isaiah 29:13 “The Lord said, “Forasmuch as this people draw near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me, and their fear towards me is taught to them by the precept of men.”

Malachi 3:16-18 “Then they that feared the Lord spoke often one to another: and the Lord hearkened and heard it; and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. And they shall be mine”, says the Lord of hosts, “In that day when I make up my jewels and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son that serves him. Then shall you return and discern between the righteous and the wicked (Luke 19:20-27), between him that serves God and him that serves him not (Rom.1:25)”.

As I continued to observe this attack throughout the entire valley, I perceived that all that which I was witnessing was that which Jesus spoke of when he said in Luke 21:25-26 “And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking on those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.” I observed that it was of these forces of Darkness that came forth all kind of natural disasters like floods, hurricanes, droughts; that these things increased in intensity as Satan’s wrath towards man increased in intensity.  

Revelation 12:12 “Therefore rejoice you heavens (the spiritually minded) and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and seas (the carnally minded)! For the Devil is come unto you having great wrath because he knows that he has but a short time.”

I then observed that as these fights and battles raged, it appeared as though they were being waged among men because of the hatred, the arguments, the corruption, the rage, the cursing, the fights, the accusing, the intimidations, the anger, the evil suspicions, the wickedness, and the accusations that men had towards one another, but in truth, all of these evil and wicked deeds were only those things that men did to one another as a reaction to the counsels that the Darkness was instructing their thoughts to do. I just watched as these demons, these clouds of darkness, and these wicked spirits took complete control over the hearts of all these who were carnally minded, directing their minds to do these wicked thoughts deeds. I just stood there mesmerized at the sight before me; completely astounded that no one could even hear my voice as I yelled to warn them. I was also amazed that no one could truly see that all of these deeds and actions of men were the results of the Darkness that had descended upon, seeing that at no time in the history of man were such evil and wicked things being done. Though it was not man that was the true cause behind all this evil and wickedness, men were still consenting and agreeing with these counsels that were entering into their minds. The Darkness appeared so strong that there was nothing any man could do to resist the move of these demons, of this darkness, or of the wicked spirits when it moved upon him. All of mankind was between a rock and a hard place; a really, really bad place for any to be.

Psalm 52:2-4 “Your tongue devises destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. You love evil more than good, lying rather than speaking righteousness. Selah. You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue.”

I then saw these attacks grow more intense upon all of mankind; and as these attacks grow more in intensity, many, many, including those in the carnally minded church, were provided with all manner of reasons to judge, to condemn, to hurt, to kill, and to hate others. Though no man is able to see these armies of Darkness, all will be able to see their effects in the actions and in the deeds that men will do to each other in response to the instructions left in their thoughts by these messengers of Darkness; it is these messengers that leave behind them, in the imaginations of men, counsels to hate, or to envy, or to accuse, or to intimidate, or to kill, or to lie, or to think evil of, or to slander, or to fight, or to be jealous of, or to judge, or to abuse, to gossip, or to condemn, or to find fault with, or to seek revenge, or to take advantage of, or to be evil suspicious of, or to point the finger at, or to strive and contend with so as to allow Satan to exercise his wrath upon the inhabitants of earth, using flesh and blood to satisfy his desires to steal, to kill, and to destroy other flesh and blood. I saw families, friends, and churches split apart and harmed because of the evil thoughts that one had one towards another. These messengers of Darkness not only provided multitudes of reasons to judge and hate others, but they also seemed to be able to take all of the reasons that a man as to love for; and suicides began to greatly multiply. I then realized the truth, that if any man thinks that his fight is with flesh and blood, then his eyes, his heart, and his mind is blinded by the Darkness.

1 Corinthians 3:1-4 “Brothers, I could not address you as spiritual but as worldly-mere infants in Christ. I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready. You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy, divisions, and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere men?”

Ephesians 6:10 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the Devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God so that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

Then, when all hope seemed to be lost, I was suddenly zoomed out to a distance where I could not only easily see this entire valley, but I could easily see all of the mountains that completely surrounded it. Suddenly I looked, and then I looked again, and there, just on the other side of the mountains, must have been the entire heavenly hosts; thousands, and thousands, and maybe even millions and million. They were all lined just at the outside base of these mountains and they were all faced towards the valley; row after row after row, like Roman legions waiting for their signal to enter into the battle. Then the Lord said, “This is Megiddo (place of troops): this is that place in the spiritual realm that Satan and all the forces of darkness have come down to exercise his wrath against the children of this world; especially against the church that has remained carnally minded. Woe be to the carnally minded who are not able to resist his attacks. Blessed be the remnant, those spiritually minded whom the Lord God himself protects; for neither Satan or any of these armies of darkness shall be able to find any place to attack them. This valley is also the place that I have dispatched the armies of my heavenly hosts. I have anointed and equipped all of them with my power for the battle that is before them.

I Kings 19:13-18 “Suddenly a voice came to him and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

And he said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek to take my life.” Then the Lord said to him: "Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus…. I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”

Revelation 12:12 “Therefore rejoice you heavens (the spiritually minded) and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and seas (the carnally minded)! For the Devil is come unto you having great wrath because he knows that he has but a short time.”

1 Corinthians 15:49 “And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.”

I then asked, “Lord, what are they waiting on? What is hindering your host from entering into this battle now?”

The Lord answered, “You/my church! Remember that which I spoke to you in Houston when I told you that you could throw every book that has tried to interpret the book of Revelation and throw it out of the window because not one of them has been able to show the impact that the sons of God are going to have during these times? I will now show you the impact that my sons are going to have in the days to come. Did I not say that whatever you loose on earth, it shall also be loosed in heaven; and that whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven? I have loosed my armies in heaven and they are now upon earth, but my church has yet to loose them on earth. I have anointed my heavenly host with power to fulfill only my will on earth, but you/my church have not yet fully understood my will. Therefore that which I have loosed from heaven cannot yet be done on earth until that which is on earth, my church, comes into agreement with my will. The armies of my heavenly host cannot be loosed to perform your good intentions, only to perform my will. I am waiting for my church to come into agreement with my will; for when heaven and earth agree, then my kingdom shall come, and my will shall be done on earth as it is in heaven; and the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of God. I have anointed my armies with the power of my word; and my word always accomplishes that purpose which I send it to perform. When you/my church comes into unity and agreement with my will; when heaven and earth agree, then I will surrender my authority into your hands; and when I render my authority into your hands, then shall you/my church be enabled to summon all of my armies into the battle. All things in heaven are now waiting on you/my church! While heaven waits, the children of this world shall suffer great tribulation, like the world has not seen. I do not tell you this to bring any heavy burden upon you, but I tell you this because it is simply the truth.

(That which was spoken in Houston can be found in the word given to me entitled “First Love Versus First Born”  Page 35)

Romans 8:19-22 “For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, because the creature itself shall also be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.”

Matthew 6:10 “Your kingdom come; your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

Matthew 16:10 “And I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

Amos 3:3 “Can two walk together (or in the case, fight together) except they agree?”

I then asked, “Lord, what are we lacking to come into agreement with your will?”

“Love”, said the Lord. “I am love. I am a living love. I am a living giving love. I am a living passionate love. I am a living merciful and forgiving love. I am a living intimate love. I am the love that makes all things one. I am the love that thinks to do no evil. I am the love that does not judge, or accuse, or condemn, or that keeps account. My love is pure. I love you, and my love for you is pure. My love for your family is pure. My love for all of your brethren is pure. Until now, you have only tasted of the love that I have for you; that is, you have experienced and received my love when you allowed for me to correct you; as well as when I blessed you; when I saved you; when I forgave you; when I delivered you; when I worked in your heart; when I showed my favor towards you; when I showed you mercy; when I cast out your fears; when I taught you; when I gave you gifts; when I answered your prayers; when I multiplied and increased you; when I worked all things for your good; and when my presence is with you. My will is to be your Lord and your God. My will for you is that you allow for me to be the Lord and God who loves you, for the truth is, there is no other who does love you. My will is that allow for my love to supply for all that which you lack and to provide for all of your needs. My will is that you allow for me to be the loving Father who will care for you and protect you. My will is that you allow for my love to perform great and mighty works for you. My will is that you abide in the presence of my love so that my love will be able to abide in your presence. Those who love me with all of their heart, with all of their mind, and with all of their soul are those who have received my will. I love you with all of my heart, with all of my mind, and with all of my soul.

Philippians 4:19 “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

Matthew 6:31-33 “Therefore take no thought saying, “What shall we eat?”; or, “What shall we drink?”; or, “How shall we be clothed?” (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek for:) for your heavenly Father knows that you have need of all these things. But you seek first for the kingdom of God and for his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”

1 Peter 5:6-7 “Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God so that he may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon him because he cares for you.”

Matthew 22:36-40 “Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”

Know this, except for that one taste that I gave to you, you have only experienced my love in your own relationship with me. You have my love in your own box; a box that only contains your own experiences with my love. My love towards you is pure, and so also is my love towards all of my creation just as pure. I am love; therefore my will is to love and to be loved; and my will for you is to love and to be loved. My will is the key that opens the doors of my love that will then allow for you go outside of your box so that you might experience my love for this world. Yield your heart to my will and I will tear down the walls of your box; and I shall make you to be a partaker of my love; a love that does not have any width, or length, or height, or depth; for there is no box that is able to contain my love. Ask for my will to be done in your heart as it is done in heaven, and I will remove the limitations and boundaries that you have put on my love. If you will allow for me to tear down the walls and remove all the boundaries and the limitations, then shall you love the world of my creation as I love it.

O, did you not know that all those which sin against you, which hate you, which offend you, which persecute you, which slander you, as well as all those who account themselves to be your enemies, they are all a part of my creation? My love is pure towards all those who have sinned against you. My love is pure towards all those who have offended you. My love is pure towards all those who have persecuted you. My love is pure towards those who slander you and speak all manner of evil against you. My love towards all of your enemies is pure. My love towards the entire world is pure; for the world is my creation. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, and the sons of God so love the world that they love their enemies; they bless those who curse them; they do good to those who hate them; they forgive from their heart all those who sin against them; and they pray for those who use them and who slander them. Blessings, not cursings, are the words that come forth out of the mouths of my sons towards all men; blessings that know no boundaries or limitations. I hear the prayers of my sons who call out, “Let your kingdom come so that your will/love be done on earth as it is in heaven.” All of my thoughts and purposes are compassed in love; and so also are all of the thoughts and purposes of those who have been perfected in love; for love makes two to become one. I am love. My will is love; and when my kingdom comes on earth then shall my love be done on earth as it is in heaven. Love is the key that brings forth the kingdom because love is that which opens the door to my heart.

Matthew 5:43-48 “You have heard that it has been said, “You shall love your neighbor and hate thine enemy: but I say unto you, “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you so that you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and he sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love them which love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you salute only your brethren, what do ye more than others? Do not even the publicans do so? Therefore You be perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

No man shall be given the keys to my kingdom that is not willing to surrender to my love; for I only give these keys to all those who surrender their will into my hands; for then shall I surrender my will into their hands; and then shall they love and be loved. I am the Lord God and there is no other; I am the Lord Love and there is no other; I am the Love that has authority over my kingdom. I will not release my authority into the hands of those who desire authority to satisfy their own desires for authority. I will not release my authority to perform any of the purposes or good intentions of man. I will release my authority into the hands of all those who choose to know me; into the hands of those who have chosen to seek out and to know my love; the love that has no dimensions or boundaries; the love that the heavens cannot contain or limit. I will release my authority into the hands of those who lay down their lives for my life; for there is no life without love. I will release my authority into the hands of those who lay down their lives for their friends as well as for their enemies. I am love; and my will is love. Only love is able to unite your heart with my heart; only love is able to bring unity and agreement between heaven and earth.

Have you seen me? Have you seen my love? If you cannot love your brother who you do see, then how shall you love me who you do not see? He who sees my love has seen me. Did you see me when tears ran down my face towards those who persecuted me, who spit on me, who scourged me, and those who crucified me. Did you see me when the tears ran down my face for those who have rejected me, who have ignored me, who despised me, who mocked me, and who doubted my love for them. Did you see me when the tears ran down my face for those who delight in believing and trusting in their false religions, men’s traditions, vain opinions, and false doctrines; those lying words that shut the door on my love? Did you see me when the tears ran down my face for those who saw me naked but did not clothe me? Those who saw me hungry and did not feed me? Those who saw me sick and in prison, and would not visit me? Did you see me when the tears ran down my face for those who refuse to forgive and to forbear with the sins and the weaknesses of others? Did you see me when the tears ran down my face for those who people judge and accuse the prostitutes, the weak, the murderers, the addicted, the deceived, the poor and the needy, the adulterers, the thieves, the unlovable, as well as the rest of the sinners of this world? I so the loved the world that I became as the world.

1 John 4:8-12 “He that does not love does not know God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another. No man has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwells in us, and his love is perfected in us.”

1 Corinthians 13:4-5 “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up. Love does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, and thinks no evil…”

I told you before that I do not look on the evil or the wickedness that the children of this world do because I look only on the good that my love is able to perform for them; for my love is able to forgive, to change, to correct, to heal, to sanctify, to transform, to prosper, and to cleanse the most wretched and wicked of men. You watch or hear the news, and you see and hear of story after story of the corrupt, the wicked, the perverted, and many horrible things that man does to other men. When you look on the sins, the weaknesses, the faults, and the evil that men do, you think that you are discovering reasons why I cannot love and forgive them; and I do agree, they sin and they do wicked and horrible things, but I still love them. Do I not cause my rain to fall on the just and the unjust? Have you not also seen me bless the righteous and the heathen with your own eyes? Have you seen the tears run down my face for you because of your ignorance of how great my love is? With the eyes of your reasoning, you hide your eyes from my love when you see the forces of Darkness oppressing their hearts and the minds.

Matthew 5:44-48 “But I say to you, “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you so that you may be the children of your Father which is in heaven; for he makes his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love them which love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you salute your brethren only, what do you do that is more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Be you perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”

1 John 2:5 “Whoso keeps his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him.”

Hear me; I will not release my authority into the hands of anyone who judges other men, regardless of what they have done or who they are. I have told you before: “Love does not judge; love just loves”. The carnal mind looks for reasons to judge while I look for purposes to love. My love does not think evil of while those who judge do they think to do evil, just like the Darkness does evil to men. In the valley of Megiddo, you will find countless and endless reasons why my love should not come forth while I see countless and endless purposes for my love to come forth. You are inexcusable O man whoever you are who judges others; for only blindness judges, and when blindness judges, then all manner of reasons come forth to put a stop to the flow of my love, my mercy, my compassion, my forgiveness, as well as all of the works of my grace. If reasons could cause my love to cease, then I myself would have no purpose to continue. Do you see me? Do you see the tears running down my face for all those in the valley of Megiddo because my church does not know what manner of Spirit that she is of? Do you see the tears running down my face when I hear one of your brothers calling for me to send fire down from heaven to destroy and to kill? Do you see the tears running down my face for those who do not know my love and are bringing condemnation upon themselves by their own mouths? The doors are before you/my church; do you have the keys? You will not find any keys among those who see reasons for me to bottle up my love. Have you asked to know my love? Have you asked for the keys?

Romans 2:1 “Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whosoever you are that judges: for wherein (of sin) you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you that judge do the same thing (sin).”

Matthew 16:18-19 “And I say also unto you, “You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it”. And I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.”

John 13:35 Jesus said, “By this shall all men know that you are my disciples, if you have love one to another.”

There was a young man who was brought before me that was being pounded on and beat down by multitudes of demons and wicked spirits; a wild man whose strength was so great that he frightened and terrified all those who came around him. He foamed at his mouth; he bounced off of walls; and he did hurt to his ownself. A wild man who so terrified others that they judged him to be beyond the help my love. How then could such a one come into my presence? Did his brethren bring him before me? Did the religious bring him before me? Did his neighbors bring him before me? No, for only a father’s love was able to bring him before me; and by the power and authority of my heavenly Father, love then cast out all of the demons and wicked spirits that possessed and tormented him. A father’s love working in unity and agreement with Father’s love cast out the forces or Darkness and allowed for a sound mind to be restored to him. Do you see how all of the powers and authority of heaven moved in accordance with my love. In the absence of love, many cry out, “Lord, I call fire down from heaven to destroy this wild man who threatens and terrifies me.” I so loved the world that I gave my only begotten Son. It is not my will that any should perish but that all should be saved. My will is to love. Will you receive a father’s love for wild men? Will you receive a Father’s love for all creation; a creation that is in bondage to all manner of demons and wicked spirits? Will you receive a love that will allow heaven and earth to come into agreement? My will is to save. My love yearns and desires to save; hatred yearns and desires to destroy. I am love; and I have called you to make you my sons; to be the sons of Love. Because I have called you to be my sons, you are indebted to love all men, even those who hate you. Is this impossible for you? It is not impossible for me to love any, and neither is it impossible for those who will receive my love to love any. How shall any satisfy his indebtedness to my creation unless he allows for me to fill him with the spirit of my love? To him shall I give the keys that will open the doors of heaven for others.

Romans 13:8 “Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loves another has fulfilled the law.”

Then the Lord ceased from speaking, but the vision did not end. I just stared at the valley, trying to comprehend and digest all that which the Lord had just spoken to me. Hardly a minute had gone by when suddenly I saw the arm of a man reach up and out to grab the rock that was at the top of the mountain that was before me. He came up from the valley side of the mountain and I watch as he pulled himself up to the top, and then collapse in complete exhaustion. He just laid there resting, very peaceably on highest rock of that mountain. It was then that I observed this same scene happening on all of the mountains that were surrounding the valley; for many others were also reaching the tops of the mountains that they had been climbing. There was not one mountain that had more than one climber on it; and I perceived in my spirit that each man has his own mountain to climb. They just all laid down on the highest rock of the mountain that they were on, and continued to rest very peaceably. Somehow or another, I perceived that all of these men were able to escape the wrath of Satan in the valley of Megiddo because they had ceased from judging others.

Then something strange happened to me in that I felt like time just folded around me like paper that is folded over and over; that is, I felt like only minutes had passed, but I also felt like hours, and days, and even years had also passed, until there was no way for me to determine just how long these men had been resting on the top of their mountains. Even so, my attention was still focused on these men when I heard a loud voice coming from heaven say. “Arise”. When they had all stood up, then came an explosion of light; and the glory of God shined upon each one of these men, and they were all transfigured into the children of the Light. Then, instead of the glory of God shining upon them, the glory of God, as a brilliant light was shining out of each one of them. The brilliance and the brightness of the glory that arose upon them was greater than that which was upon the heavenly hosts that was waiting at the base of the mountains. I then saw that when this explosion of light occurred, all of the men in the valley as well as all of the forces of Darkness, responded in manner that must have been similar to how the men responded who were with Paul when the light of God came to him when he was on the road to Damascus; for they all knew could see and hear that something big had happened, but there were none who could discern just what it was.

Matthew 17:1-7 “And after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, and brought them up into an high mountain apart. And there he was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was as white as the light. And, behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you are willing, let us make here three tabernacles; one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. While he was speaking, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them: and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him.

Acts 9:3-7 “And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven: And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” And he said, “Who are you, Lord?” And the Lord said, “I am Jesus whom you persecute: it is hard for you to kick against the pricks”. And he trembled and was astonished and said, “Lord, what will you have me to do?” And the Lord said to him, “Arise, and go into the city, and it shall be told you what you must do”. And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice, but seeing no man.”

Isaiah 60:1 “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.”

II Thessalonians 1:10 “And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that do not know God, and that do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power, when he shall come to be glorified in his saints…”

Romans 8:18-22 “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God; for the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groans and travails in pain together until now.”

Then the Sons of God turned their faces towards the valley of Megiddo and looked upon all that which the forces of Darkness were doing to men. Then they all, in the very same moment, turned and summoned that part of the heavenly host that was waiting at the base of the mountain that each was standing on. Immediately the army of God raced into the battle. As they came over the mountains, brilliance of the light of the glory of God shined before them, and immediately all of the clouds of darkness just dissipated. It was not until the armies of God entered the valley that I realized that angels of God were much bigger, stronger, and faster than any of the demons or wicked spirits; and the armies of God seem to outnumber the armies of Darkness at least 10 to 1. It was not a battle of hours or days, but rather a battle of seconds and minutes. I watched as these angels of God swooped like eagles, and they were swinging chains in the same manner that a rodeo rider swings his rope just before he lassos a calf. These angels of God then bound up all of the demons and wicked spirits with their chains, and they carried them all away with them.

2 Kings 6:16 “And he answered, “Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.”

Mark 5:2-9 “And when Jesus had come out of the ship, immediately there met him a man with an unclean spirit who had out of the tombs, who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been plucked asunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man tame him. And always, night and day, he was in the mountains, and in the tombs, crying, and cutting himself with stones. But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshipped him, and cried with a loud voice and said, “What have I to do with you Jesus, you Son of the most high God? I adjure you by God, that you torment me not”. Then Jesus said unto him, “Come out of the man, you unclean spirit”.

Jude 6 “And the angels which kept not their first estate but left their own habitation, he has reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.”

I then perceived that there was not one person who was in the valley that had eyes to see what these angels of God were doing for them in the spiritual realm; only the Sons of God could see the forces of Darkness and the armies of God. Even so, every man was well aware that he was suddenly be made free from the miserable and tormenting wrath that Satan had been imposing on all. Then they all saw the glory of God in Jesus Christ manifested on and in the Sons of God; and they all knew that the Sons of God, through the love of God in Christ Jesus, were responsible for their freedom from the powers of Darkness. I then saw that each one of the Sons of God was now standing in the valley of Megiddo, at the base of the mountain that had just been standing on top of; and when the people in the valley saw them as the Sons of God, they came before them, shouting praises to God and giving the Lord thanks. And then a loud voice came from heaven, whether it came from God or from an angel I do not know, but it said, “It is done; now the rulers and lords of this world have been judged and cast out. Now the Darkness has been exposed as well as the wrath that it imposed. Now the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of God”.

John 12:31-32 Jesus said, “Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, I will draw all men unto me.”

1 John 4:16-20 “And we have known and believed the love that God has towards us. God is love; and he that dwells in love dwells in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the Day of Judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us. If a man says, “I love God”, and he hates (thinks evil of) his brother, he is a liar: for he that loves not his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?”

Isaiah 60:1-3 “Arise, shine; for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people; but the Lord shall arise upon you, and his glory shall be seen upon you. And the Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.”

When the vision was over, the Spirit of the Lord then brought into my remembrance a word that the Lord had previously spoken to me: “Fear not little flock, for it truly is the desire and pleasure of my heart to give my kingdom to you. But you think that you have been waiting on me to perform this when in truth it is I who has been waiting on you. I have been waiting for your brethren to come into the unity with my will; for it will not be until the brethren come together in unity that all of the powers of Darkness will be broken and pass away.” Then the Lord said, “These that you saw who continued and persevered to get to the top of their mountain, these are they who ran the race set before them, those who have sought diligently after my heart. They have suffered affliction, and persecution, and much tribulation, but they turned not aside. They have also received many blessings and gifts along their way, but even these could not satisfy the passion that burned within them to have a heart after my heart. These are they who took no thought for their own life but cast aside their own desires, their own affections, their own works, their own righteousness, as well as their own will so that they might win my heart.

John 14:26 “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.”

Luke “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.”

1 Sam 13:13-14 “And Samuel said to Saul, “You have done foolishly: you have not kept the commandment of the Lord your God which he commanded you: for now would the Lord have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. But now your kingdom shall not continue: the Lord has sought him a man after his own heart, and the Lord has commanded him to be captain over his people because you have not kept that which the Lord commanded you.”

These are my Sons who did not waver nor turn aside, who hungered and thirsted only to have a heart that beat in unity with the beat of my heart; that is, when my heart beat in love, they desired for their hearts to beat in love; when my heart beat in righteousness, they desired for their heart to beat in righteousness; when my heart beat with desire to do good to all, they desired for their hearts to beat with desire to do good to all; when my heart beat with judgment, their desired for their heart to beat in judgment; when my heart beat with mercy and compassion, they desired for their heart to beat with mercy and compassion; when my heart beat in giving, they desired for their heart to beat in giving; when my heart beat with forgiveness, they desired for their heart to beat in forgiveness; when my heart beat with desire to save all men, they desired for their heart to beat with the desire for all men to be saved; when my heart beat in holiness, they desired for their heart to beat in holiness; and when my heart beat with abundant life, they desired for their heart to beat with abundant life. These who you saw resting on top of their mountain, these are they overcame the beat of their own deceitful and wicked hearts; hearts that had only beat to satisfy their own desires and pleasures.

John 17:20-23 Jesus said, “Neither do I pray for these alone but for them also which shall believe on me through their word so that they all may be one; as you Father are in me, and I in you, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that you have sent me. And the glory which you gave me I have given to them so that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them and you in me so that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that you have sent me, and have loved them, as you have loved me.”

Again, I say unto you: I am love, and my will is to love and be loved; and my will for you is that you love and be loved. My will is one with the beat of my heart; for my will cannot be separated from the affections and desires of my heart. I have put my kingdom within all who I have called, but only a few have been willing to crucify the beat of their own hearts; to mortify the life of their own heart. I have sought for those whose hearts have desired to walk after the beat of my heart; to walk in the love that makes all things one. My kingdom comes, and my will be done when your heart beats in oneness with the affections and desires of my heart. Those you saw upon the tops of the mountains, these are they who I have brought into my rest; who sought only after the beat of my heart. When my glory arises and shines upon them, then every beat of their heart shall be as the beat of my heart; and all the peoples shall see and know of the love, the mercy, the goodness, the truth, and the life of my heart. Just as they came to behold my wisdom when it was upon Solomon, so shall all come to my Sons, the firstfruits of the beat of my heart, for a greater wisdom has risen upon them. Again, I say to you this day, “It is I who has been waiting on a people who will walk in unity with the beat of my heart.”

Romans 8:13 “For if you live after the flesh you shall die; but if you, through the Spirit, do mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.”

Colossians 3:2-5 “Set your affection on things above and not on things on the earth. For you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, shall appear, then shall you also appear with him in glory. Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth….”

Galatians 5:24 “They who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and desires.”

When the Lord had finished speaking these things, I then understood that all things in heaven have truly been made ready for this time: the Lord is ready, the heavenly hosts are ready, and the kingdom of God is ready. The only thing that is not quite ready is the Sons of God. I then remembered that about 2 or 3 years ago, the Lord spoke the same word through many mouths saying, “My people are not prepared for my coming”. I now understand that those who are not ready are those who refused to give up their own righteous judgments of sinners and evil doers so that they could receive the love of God for all. Where are those who are ready; those who have fully laid down their lives as well as their reasons to judge others so that they might walk in the love of the purposes of God? In the word that the Lord gave to me entitled “The Secret Equation Of Life”, the Lord said, “I am love; and if I do not love, I have no purpose to exist. If you are not willing to receive my love, then what purpose will you have to exist?” Where are the children whose hearts beat in oneness with Father’s heart? Where are the children who are willing to lay down their reasons in exchange for God’s purposes? Where are those who are willing to lay down the righteousness of their own judgments of others so that they can receive the righteousness of God’s love? Did Father send his only begotten Son into this world because he  desired to judge the world or because he loved the world? Where are those who know what manner of Spirit that they are of? Where are those who know that they are the temple of God, and that the mercy seat of God’s forgiveness and love dwells with them? Where are those who seek not for reasons to call down fire and wrath but that seek out the purposes that will allow for God’s compassion and grace to overflow to all people?

Where are those who will lay down their self-righteous reasons to judge God so that they love God instead? Where are those who will lay down their self-righteous judgments of their brethren so that they may discover Father’s purpose to love them? Where are those who will lay down their self-righteous judgments of their enemies so that they may discover Father’s purpose to love them? Where are those who will lay down their self-righteous judgments against those who have offended them so that they may discover Father’s purpose to love them? Where are those who will lay down their self-righteous judgments of the poor and needy so that they may discover Father’s purpose to love them? Where are those who will lay down their self-judgments of the wicked so that they may discover Father’s purpose to love them? Where are those who will lay down their self-righteous judgments of the blind and ignorant so that they may discover Father’s purpose to love them? Where are those who will lay down their self-righteous judgments of those who have sinned against them so that they may discover Father’s purpose to love them? Where are those who will lay down their self-righteous judgments against those who abuse, who intimidate, who threaten, who bully, and who despitefully use others so that they may discover Father’s purpose to love them? Where are those who will lay down their self-righteous judgments of the unjust, the religious, the hypocrites, and the workers of iniquity so that they may discover Father’s purpose to love them? Where are those who will lay down the righteousness of their own judgments so that they may discover the love of God? Where are those who seek to walk in beat with Father’s heart; a heart that so loved this fallen world that he sent his only begotten Son into it? Love does not judge; love loves. If any man thinks that he is a new creature and does not walk in the love of God, then he has done nothing but deceive himself. Where are they who have sought for the purposes of God? They are on top of the mountains, sealed by God and set apart, protected from all attacks that come forth from the Satan and his armies of Darkness.

Zephaniah 3:14-15 “Shout, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem! The Lord has taken away your judgments, he has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst and you shall see evil no more.”

One might ask, “Why would the Lord call my judgments to be my enemy?”; and I say this because many years ago I asked that question of the Lord and he answered me and said, “Because you are going to be judged with the way that you have judged others. If you have judged without love and mercy, then you shall be judged without love and mercy”. It was at that moment that I made my own judgments to be the greatest enemy that I have ever known…and then I found out that it truly is not flesh and blood that we wrestle with, but it is the powers of Darkness that continually tempt us with reasons to judge others so that we might bring condemnation upon our own heads.

James 2:13 “For judgment is without mercy to the one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.”

Revelation 7:2-4 “And I saw another angel ascending from the east, having the seal of the living God: and he cried with a loud voice to the four angels, to whom it was given to hurt the earth and the sea saying, “Do not hurt the earth, neither the sea, nor the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God in their foreheads.”

Revelation 12:12 “Therefore rejoice you heavens (the spiritually minded) and you that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and of the sea (the carnally minded)! For the Devil is come down unto you having great wrath because he knows his time is short.”

Matthew 24:4-8 “And Jesus answered and said to them, “Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, “I am Christ” (or rather, I am a Christian); and they shall deceive many. And you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars: see that you be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.

I also saw that just as Satan and his armies of Darkness will greatly increase their hateful and malicious attacks in deceiving flesh and blood to judge and fight against flesh and blood, so also will their attacks increase in the imaginations of man to torment their thoughts with all manner of fears, or confusion, or distrust, or hopelessness, or depression, or anxiety, or loneliness, or worry, or whining and complaining, or stress, or weakness, or uncertainty, or despair. As the Darkness continues its attack, death will roar loud among the inhabitants of this world because death also knows that its days are numbered and that it is the last enemy that is to be destroyed. The blind will continue to see that all that has come upon man is the result of deeds and actions done by flesh and blood rather than the Darkness that rules the this fallen world. From where else would come the reasons for flesh and blood to judge other flesh and blood seeing that it only brings death and destruction on man? The children of the Dark see reasons to judge while the children of the Light see purposes for the love of God to come forth.

There will be no peace or rest in this fallen world until the ruler of this world is taken out of the way; the ruler of Darkness who has instructed all of his forces to continually supply the inhabitants of this world with innumerable reasons for one to judge, to accuse, to find fault with, and to condemn others. The Lord has now opened my eyes to see that the final battle, it will be the forces of Darkness with all of its reasons to judge, to hate, and to kill pitted against the armies of the Light that will be accompanied with the mercies, and grace, and forgiveness of God: Judgment against the love of God. Then, in the fullness of time, those who have come into agreement with Father’s love shall arise as the Sons of God when Jesus Christ comes to glorify them with his power, and his wisdom, and his love, and his strength, and his goodness, and his blessings, and his honor, and his name. These are they who will then come forth to perform all of the purposes that Father’s heart beats to: to love and to be loved. Then shall the kingdom of God come, and the will of God will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Then shall mercy triumph over judgment; life over death; and the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our God. I then realized that this spiritual Valley of Megiddo, wherever it may be, is the valley where it all ends as well as the valley where it will all begin. Glory be to God.

John 8:2-12 “And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came to him; and he sat down and taught them. And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, they said to him, “Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law (is there any thing more powerful to use to find reasons to judge others than a law?) commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what do you say?” This they said tempting him so that they might have to accuse him (for it was Jesus who had said, “Judge not lest you be judged). But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. But when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself and said to them, “He that is without sin among you, let him be the first to cast a stone at her.” And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself and saw none there but the woman, he said to her, “Woman, where are your accusers? Has no man condemned you?” She said, “No man, Lord”. And Jesus said to her, “Neither do I accuse you. Go, and sin no more.” Then Jesus spoke again to them, saying, “I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the Light of Life.”

Just when I thought that the Lord had finished speaking this word to me, he gave me this dream: I saw Jesus, as a doctor with a stethoscope around his neck, and he was going from saint to saint, placing his stethoscope over the heart of each one of us, and then he looked at me and said, “I am seeking out those whose hearts beat with the beat of my heart; those who are willing to do my will; to love and be loved”.
