God
showed me a river of humanity and they were singing and dancing
along, lost in their merriment all headed together yet apart in the
same direction. A part of me wanted to join with them but My Lord
and My Love reminded me that I used to be part of that river but He
had called me out.
The
river flowed on with each one dancing, singing and throwing their
hands in the air. Each one was part of the river but they also moved
in their own way.
The
noise they made was very loud and was so diverse that it became
madness and some fell but they gradually rejoined the river along its
path.
Some
fell into this huge pit and for a while they stayed there dancing and
singing as though to hide from themselves the tears flowing like a
river down their cheeks and over their body. They were sold by
others around the pit to others who would stop for a time to use and
abuse them.
Some
got pregnant and their child was ripped from their arms and sold to
others as they danced and sang by. The women sang louder and danced
harder to cover their own screams and tears.
Some
became so drugged that they couldn’t sing or dance but they were
drugged so they couldn’t see what was happening to them. Others
questioned and were told they didn’t dance correctly so they
deserved what happened to them. They believed and rejoined the
dancing and the singing. Eventually they would rejoin the river.
The
river continued to flow and then My Love showed me others who stood
on the side of the river and shouted for people to come out of the
river and to go a different way. They shouted and tried to grab
those within the river to come out and they could be free.
Some
came and listened to them and stopped dancing and singing and then
they could hear the voice of My Love and of those who stood on the
side of the river.
Some
returned to the river at first putting their fingers in their ears
and then returning to their song.
Some
stayed and at first they cried harder and even reached into the river
to try to pull those they knew out of the river. If they were not
careful they would rejoin the river and be washed away from their
Love and their Lord. Others pulled many from the river.
The
number of those who called out grew and grew until all along the
river there were people calling out trying to be heard over the
singing and the sound of a multitude of feet dancing.
Even
as He was with me My Love called out to them with a song so light and
beautiful yet which still could be heard over the terrible sound and
noise of the river. Some heard and came out of the river and others
stopped to listen to those beside the river.
Then
I noticed that those beside the river were singing the same song
though not as beautiful as My Love. There never was such singing
heard before! The song at first made you cry as you realized what
you had done to try not to hear the beautiful song. But then the
song so filled you with life that you began to sing and you joined
those along the river singing so others would come out.
But
still the river flowed on and on. It seemed to go nowhere but still
it flowed on its course. Some in the river fought among themselves.
In fact many of them did but still they sang and danced harder even
as they screamed at those who didn’t dance like them and sing the
same song even though their song was disjointed and not united.
Many
tried to kill others in the river and especially those alongside the
river who called out. Occasionally they would kill those alongside
the river but those they killed actually rose over the river and
joined in the song of My Love from there.
I
realized that the song of those beside and above the river was the
same as the song My Love sang! The song of My Love was so beautiful
that at times I laughed in joy and at other times I wept that those
in the river could not hear. My Love told me that though He wanted
all to hear and for the river to disappear many would not hear and
did not want to hear and that is why they danced and sang so hard!
I
wept and I wept and as I looked at My Love I saw a stream of tears
that flowed to the river but many in the river built walls so the
tears would not reach them. Then I noticed that the tears were mixed
with blood and those touched by it fell to their knees and wept at
first and then shouted for joy and began singing with My Love.
For
the first time I realized I was singing the same song and My Love
showed me myself along the river crying for those in the river to
come out and know My Love. Some listened and we wept together and
then they joined with me singing the song of salvation and joy!
The
river kept flowing and even when they were weary those in the river
flowed on and on. If someone fell down from weariness those around
them kicked and beat them until they once again rejoined the river as
it flowed along. Each singing their different song louder and louder
as they once again danced.
My
pain became unbearable as I watched and My Love took my tears and
they flowed with His toward the river to bring healing. Then I
realized that my tears were my prayers as I cried, no screamed out to
My Love to please do something! “Can’t You stop this evil and
horrific river My Love?”
My
Love replied, “I cannot stop the river without destroying those in
it. So I call out to them with My song so many will join with Me and
My song!” Then He and I wept together and the tears flowed toward
the river.
Then
I noticed that sometimes my song was my own and was about My Love and
then my tears flowed for Him. My Love told me that this was when I
loved and worshiped Him! I then saw that I could sing both songs at
the same time! Then I saw that I sang the song to those in the river
even better when I sang the loudest to My Love.
So
I sang louder to My Love and more came out of the river to wonder how
I could sing two different songs at the same time. Many joined with
me casting off their old song and slowly began singing both of the
new songs. My Love sang to them that they had been made new and so
they could sing the new songs.
As
I looked at the river again I wept for joy at those along the river
and realized the song to My Love encouraged them so they could work
harder and sing louder!
But
still the river flowed on and on. They told themselves they were
singing a newer and better song but to me it was the same song. I
was amazed that they could deceive themselves so much. As they
flowed along soon their lies made them a lie and they could say
opposite things and believe they were the truth. It became their
truth even though it remained a lie!
They
so deceived themselves and then turned to deceive others, especially
those who headed toward those alongside the river. They were the
ones who screamed at those along the river and even killed those
alongside and made a lie that those they killed were dead and could
never be alive again! Many believed their lie and laughed even as
they too became a lie.
I
became so weary seeing what I never saw. I was seeing not with my
eyes but through the eyes of My Love. I cried out “My Love I
cannot bear this! Why are you showing me this?”
The
kind voice of My Love calmed my soul and replied”My child, come and
sit in my lap.” I did and I felt so loved and grew stronger by the
second. My Love spoke to me but I am not allowed to repeat what He
said. But I was loved as I had never been loved before and I wept
for joy!
I
so much wanted to stay in His lap but soon My love asked me to go
back alongside the river and cry out to those in the river to come to
Him.
As
I returned I noticed something strange. Some within the river called
for people to come to them and be saved from the river. I cried out,
“But you are still in the river!” They shut their ears and told
those who followed them that I was a heretic because I did not agree
with them. I wept!
The
river kept flowing along in the direction and I wondered where it was
going. My heart thought it was all going nowhere together but My
Love wept and told me it was going somewhere that was nowhere! I
wept.
Then
My Love showed me that every people, tongue and nation flowed in the
river. They stayed together even as they fought among themselves to
be the leader even though they didn’t lead but just followed the
river.
Some
would say they sang a different song but it all sounded the same
because everyone sang a different song even as they claimed to sing
together.
Then
I saw another horrific sight. Many in the river killed those within
the river! They killed them to gain power, they killed others for
the rags and trash they carried and some killed because they enjoyed
killing and seeing others suffer!
Those
they killed still flowed in the river but they moved along faster and
faster and soon were out of sight! I did not know where they went
but I felt a heavy burden for I realized they could no longer hear
the song of My Love! I wept and I wept.
My
Love called me to rejoin the singing and because of the pain I felt I
sang louder and tried harder to pull others out of the river.
But
still the river flowed on and on singing louder and dancing harder in
spite of the weariness they felt.
Those
along the river grew weary but My Love would let them sit in His lap
for a little time and they were refreshed and returned to sing to
those in the river.
My
Love told me that I could tell part of what He told me that renewed
me! My Love wanted all those alongside the river to know that one
day they would sing over the river even as they sat in His lap
forever and ever in love and joy! I wanted to go right then but He
reminded me that He wanted me beside the river for now so others
could sit in His lap forever.
I
loved My Love so much that I would do what He asked even though I did
not want to leave Him.
But
He wanted me to see one more thing. Something I DID NOT want to see,
something that brought a stream of tears from me.
First
I smelled an evil and horrific smell that made me gag and throw up.
My Love had to breathe into me for me to even be able to see what He
wanted me to see.
The
singing and dancing grew louder and more frantic as the river flowed
faster and faster as it approached its destination. Some cried out
in pain, some in despair but many cursed My Love and to the end their
hatred grew and grew. I wept and wept and could not hate those who
cursed My Love because I knew He loved them!
The
smell grew and I was amazed to see that to those in the river it was
like pure air. They drank it in and those who feared soon became
comfortable.
Then
I was amazed! I was even more amazed then at anytime during my
journey! Before me, or should I say before those in the river was a
massive hole. It was not a cave as much as it was a hole. I cannot
explain it but it seemed like a door without a door.
Those
in the river flowed into it faster and faster and the noise from the
hole and from the river made it very hard for those singing out to
those in the river to be heard, but they would not give up and sang
out all the louder.
Soon
I realized that those at the mouth of the hole were singing to those
they knew and loved! Their desperation was a reflection of My Love’s
heart and of His song!
Then
I saw the hole and that there were those who led others to the hole
and those who dwelt within the hole pushing the river of those
dancing and singing into the hole. I expected to hear screaming but
most continued to sing their song for awhile and only later would
they scream! And their screams were to blame My love for where they
were!
I
could feel their hatred of My Love like a force and it actually
knocked me back. I was shocked to realize that the terrible smell
and the horrific heat came from the pure hatred for My Love!
I
wanted to defend My Love and sing out to them but I felt His hand on
my shoulder and He said, “I have already come here and sang My song
here to all who would end up here. They did not and will not listen
anymore. For them it is finished.” And I wept!
I
wept for them but most of all I wept for My love because I
experienced a small part of his anguish and pain. The scars He bore
stood out more then I had ever seen them before and I loved Him for
them.
Those
who dwelt within the hole laughed and shrieked that they had hurt My
Love by stealing from Him those He loved! And then those they
deceived joined in the celebration of hurting My Love. This time I
vomited! From me flowed all my hatred and anger at those who reviled
My Love and I loved them with His love! I sang my song of joy and
those in the hole shook with fear!
I
wanted to join those above the river and be with My Love, but with a
kindness and sadness He asked me to please go back. I knew it was a
command but His love for me made it a request.
As
I prepared to go back My Love asked me to write this down. I told My
Love that it would be hard since my fingers do not work well and it
is hard for me to type out so much. My Love laughed at me and said
“My child, I made your hands and they are weak for My glory! I can
make them do what I want when I want. Out of love do as I ask and
all things will be possible.”
As
I got out of bed and I fixed some coffee and then I typed this out!
My Love brought all of this back to mind and yet there is so much
more I saw but all I can tell I have told.
Many
will say I am fool. Some may say I am deceived. Some will sing and
dance louder and harder so they will not hear. But some will listen
and hear not my words but the song of My Love! I rejoice at that.
This
was not given to me because I am special but because I am weak. This
was not given to me because I am good because I am not. I truly do
not know why it was given to me except that My Love wanted to and to
me that is enough.
I
share this with you as showed to me December8, 2017 at 5634 Kalispell
Way Knoxville, Tennessee. May My Love through this sing His song
into your heart and life! That is my prayer and song to you and for
you.
To
My Love be all glory and honor and as I serve Him may I make Him
smile!
Yours
in Christ, Ronald Ramsey
