During the January 23 2009 Friday Night Service in Syracuse, NY—the Lord showed me in a vision, that the whole area was like a place by a stream. On the side of where the stream was located, were many large boulders, smaller bushes, and areas of patchy grass here and there. But where the water’s edge was, I could see that there were many dried up smaller rocks and larger boulders, and scraggly plants, and some trashy debris that were washed up along the shoreline.

Out across the stream, I could see Jesus leaping from rock to rock in the middle of the stream. Some of the rocks that protruded outwards were large and some were barely above the surface, even so He knew just where to jump to land on the right ones to get Himself across the river stream.

Then He stopped at a certain point and stood in the midst of the river stream. He reached down and began to pick up some of the rocks that had lied submerged below the surface of the river water. I could see that they were about palm sized rocks, and they were rounded and flat. They were smoothed out by the water, and you could tell by their shape that they had been in the water a long time.

The Lord turned one of the flat rocks over in His hands, looked it over, and then He took it and flung it out across the river stream, and it bounced along the surface of the water several times, as it skipped along the surface. I watched to see how many times it would skip before it sank back into the water, but to my amazement, it didn’t. It never sank again, but kept going and then the rock changed, it grew legs and transformed into a very small person with legs and it was running on top of the water, and it kept on running till it got to the edge of the river and then the person still kept on going and ran onto the ground and speedily left the area. Where they went I do not know.

Then I saw the Lord do the same thing again and again and again. He kept picking up rocks, turning them over in His hands, and then flinging them across the water and He watched them as they skipped along the surface till they reached a certain point, and then each one sprouted legs like a person and then changed into a full fledged person who kept on running as before. Over and over, the Lord did this. Faster and faster He bent down and picked them up and then reached out and flung them, until soon He became a blur and the movements accelerated until He looked like a whirlwind in the water that was throwing the underlying rocks all around the stream, many of them still skipping and jumping and transforming and then running to their destinations.

Then He turned and looked at me and said, “I am jump-starting My Living Stones.”

End of the vision.

Further Understanding from the Father:

***Faith is being out in the flowing stream. Unbelief dries you up and you end up on the banks of the shore.***

(Jesus is wading out amongst those who have been waiting.)

(The exposed rocks and surface boulders are those people and ministries who have just begun or who have already emerged and those who have become various works and expressions of the Lord. Some were still in His flow that He moved amongst, but the majority of them lined the river banks instead.)

1 Peter 2:4-7 (ESV) ⁴ As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, ⁵ you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. ⁶ For it stands in Scripture: “Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.” ⁷ So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,”

1 Peter 2:1-8 (TM ) ^1-3 So clean house! Make a clean sweep of malice and pretense, envy and hurtful talk. You’ve had a taste of God. Now, like infants at the breast, drink deep of God’s pure kindness. Then you’ll grow up mature and whole in God.

(Remember: We are going from the chest down to the breast now, to be found drinking the deeper things of the Spirit.)

^4-6 Welcome to the living Stone, the source of life. The workmen took one look and threw it out; God set it in the place of honor. Present yourselves as building stones for the construction of a sanctuary vibrant with life, in which you’ll serve as holy priests offering Christ-approved lives up to God.

(The Living Stones are sources of Life. Jesus is approving of those who are now made ready, and He is thrusting them forth out into the places of fruitfulness amongst His House.)

^7-8 The Scriptures provide precedent: Look! I’m setting a stone in Zion, a cornerstone in the place of honor. Whoever trusts in this stone as a foundation will never have cause to regret it. To you who trust him, he’s a Stone to be proud of, but to those who refuse to trust him, The stone the workmen threw out is now the chief foundation stone. For the untrusting it’s ... a stone to trip over, a boulder blocking the way. They trip and fall because they refuse to obey, just as predicted.

(If you learn to quietly trust you will surely be forwards thrust; if you doubt you will find yourself out and drying up on the banks left to rust.)

To Recap:

Season of the Winds 2000 to 2008

Season of the 5 Rains 2009 to 2012

Season of the initial Launching Forth begins in 2009

Isaiah 33:21 But there the LORD in majesty will be for us a place of broad rivers and streams, where no galley with oars can go, nor majestic ship can pass.

Jesus is hand picking His Vessels, they are His Hand-sent Instruments. No more bulky man made ships (works), but instead God is releasing His ignited living stones!
