The "CANYON" VISION - by Pastor Matutis."


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  


I saw many, many people running through a deep and dark canyon,
left and right bordered with steep walls that looked insurmountable.
It looked like that they were fleeing from what appeared to be a terrible
calamity, or a powerful army chasing them. It seemed that they could
not take a lot of stuff with them.
There was only one escape route: The stampede ahead.


This image, that I conceived in my spirit became larger, stronger and ever
more powerful. It appeared to me as if the entire world was trapped in
this canyon. Every race on earth was there: mothers with children,
young people and particularly many well dressed people in suits and ties,
like they just had left the office. The weak, the older and handicapped were
falling behind. A lot of people gave up and were left behind.


These were the ones blocking the passerby that pressed ahead.
There were constant melees and tumults in the canyon.
Some of the folks were unscrupulous, trampling on others and killing others.
Everyone was only looking out for themselves and cared only for himself.
It was a horrific scene.


Here it was that I prayerfully asked the Lord, Lord what is this?
And the Holy Spirit said to me: "These are the peoples of the world, they
are all fleeing. There is no way out and hence they do everything to push
ahead. They are stepping over dead bodies and compassion is no more,
because seeking survival is what they all want."


I heard a voice from above, that said to me: "Tell it to your people and all
listen to you. Tell it to the ones that believe in Me, that they should step
aside, stop running at once and stay put at the wall, making way for the
runners. That's how they will safeguard them. Let these desperate masses
of people only pass you by. Let them run that run, you can not stop them.
They know not that they are all running into disaster. They do not know
what's ahead of them, what to expect and what it is that awaits them at
the end of the canyon and that it is a dead end with no way out.
It is more horrendous, more vicious than that what they thought they were
leaving. They all will end up in a mass grave.


I watched - as some of them that listened to me stopped running.
They clinged to the wall and waited until all of that was over.
I even cried out to the ones that ran by me: "Stop running, move aside.."
However, most of  these cries vanished in the melee.
The desperation of the people was  tremendous.
Nobody could stop these running masses. Everyone was trying to save
its bare life - countless masses of people, thrusted by its panic.


Some of the "storming troops" even resented my intervening and yelled:
"Don't stop these people!"


When finally everyone passed, I heard from the distance wailing,
moaning  and a flat roaring. Oh my god, what's that? I asked prayerfully.


I heard a voice, saying: "They have not listened to Me and followed their
own feelings and the masses and they all fell into the abyss where there
is no way out."


And God's spirit further said: "But you, my children, turn around and return
back to the things that you were running away from. All of that was panic
and sheer desperation. They have been created by rumors and lies and
you have fallen for these traps. "


"But you, that trust in Me", says the Lord, "do not have to be afraid about
nothing." Even in the most impossible situations will I be with you and be
of help. You are my "blessed" ones.


I have called you by your name and you are mine. I have called you from
out of these masses. You have listened to My voice and I am your caretaker
and provider. I want only the best for you. You belong to Me and you are not
supposed to become entangled by the panic making world.


Go back to your tasks and do what I have commanded you to do!
Live like I told you to live. Talk about Myself and not about problems! Rest
in Me and
keep staying with Me and do not run away from your problems," says the Lord.


And then the Lord gave me the words from Luke, 21.25-28.
Especially the Vers 28."When these things begin to take place, stand up and
lift up your  heads, because your redemption is drawing near."


The Lord is with you even in your dark valley. (See Psalm 23.4)


Yours Joh.W.Matutis
