Dear Beloved Revelation Watchers Community,
Today, we are thrilled to unveil the vision and messages that were disclosed to Crystal Shields, our prayer coordinator and leader of The Esther Call: Beauty from Ashes prayer team, as she guided our weekly meeting on January 15, focusing on the mission of Revelation Watchers.
This revelation underwent a process of refinement and expansion in subsequent gatherings, with further insights meticulously documented on January 29, and additional layers of understanding added on January 31.
God the Gardener: Impact, Ignite, Ablaze and Shine Brightly
Part 1: At 6:03 PM on January 15, 2024
The initial word received on January 15, 2024, served as a pivotal launching point, propelling us into deeper understanding and revelation. This divine message sparked a cascade of open visions and further insights during subsequent meetings.
The prayer team leader, Crystal Shields, shares the following thoughts:
“At 6:03 pm on January 15, 2024, I received a profound message from the Holy Spirit regarding the Revelation Watchers project. I distinctly heard Him say, "Impact, ignite, ablaze, and shine brightly." This revelation stirred a vision within me, envisioning a ripple effect of impact beyond just the confines of our mission. It echoed the unity and fervor experienced in the upper room, symbolizing a corporate anointing of unity.
Mrs. Heidi (Begley) has expounded on this theme extensively. She delved into the significance of the upper room, illustrating how the unity of hearts ignited a fervent blaze of spiritual awakening. This outpouring of the Holy Spirit was so contagious that it engulfed those present, leading to manifestations such as speaking in tongues and an overwhelming sense of God's presence. Inspired by this, they ventured out and left an indelible mark, setting ablaze the territories they encountered. I firmly believe that this is precisely what God intends for us here and now. While it may not be the sole location where He desires such fervor, it is undeniably where His voice is most resoundingly heard, guiding our actions and mission.
I believe that while the enemy seeks to unleash destruction and devastation like a nuclear bomb, God's intention is to release a spiritual explosion in the land. Recently, I had an open vision of the land being shattered, resembling a mushroom cloud. This symbolizes God's desire to ignite the Holy Spirit in the midst of our mission. His aim is to touch the world, open hearts, and break the ground to receive His truth.
So that it's contagious, and it spreads out and that the 10,000 supporting subscribers goal to me is God’s biblical pattern. He is coming with ten thousands of His angels. So, of course you know, we understand that God speaks through numbers throughout His Word. This is a gathering of His coming and we want to be ready and prepared for His coming. This to me encompasses everything that this mission stands for - the ultimate arrival and the goal is for us all to be shining brightly for Christ Jesus because this world is getting darker and grimmer. But we have hope.
We possess the truth, the light, the bread of life, and the breath of life through Christ Jesus. Regardless of the challenges we face, we remain within His timing, in His hands, and aligned with His will. This is an exhilarating time. Your actions have ignited even more faith within me, reinforcing the importance of focusing on God's movements rather than the storms around us. It's not a matter of God reacting to the enemy; rather, it's the enemy reacting to God's actions. I desire to flow with what He is doing, as Heidi often encourages us to do. Thank you, Lord! Despite the turmoil impacting the globe—wars and other crises—these are all overshadowed by what Christ is accomplishing and will continue to do. Our blessed hope lies in knowing that He will orchestrate everything for our good and His glory, as stated in Romans 8:28. It's akin to a dress rehearsal for eternity, reminiscent of Moses and the Israelites awaiting entry into the promised land. Through faith in God's promises, we are crossing over into His divine plan.
God is the gardener of both this land and the entire earth. In times of broken ground, there emerges space for seeds to take root. I envision God casting these seeds into the freshly tilled soil, knowing that some will undoubtedly flourish. Praise God, for we place our trust in the parable of the sower! Additionally, I feel compelled to share a vision I experienced several years ago—a heavenly explosion that symbolized an exuberant celebration of joy. From atop the mountains, I witnessed explosions cascading confetti-like gemstones of light. Amidst this spectacle, I distinctly heard the proclamation, "It's a celebration of joy."
Recent events such as the impact of Asteroid 2024 BXI in Berlin, Germany, on January 21, 2024, and the winter storm sweeping through Britain carry significant symbolism. Berlin is historically linked to the location of Satan's seat, referenced in the book of Revelation in the letters to the churches. Similarly, the Hebrew meaning of Isha as "woman or wife" hints at profound spiritual messages. These occurrences coincide with a time when God is speaking to the woman—the church, the remnant, the bride, and all those grafted into the commonwealth of Israel through Christ Jesus. It is a period rich with prophetic significance, urging us to remain vigilant and prayerful.
God the Creator
Part 2: At 6:00 PM on January 29, 2024
We recognize God as the ultimate gardener, a truth evident from Genesis to Revelation. This symbolism is particularly poignant in Revelation 22, where the trees for the healing of the nations harken back to the trees in the Garden of Eden and those envisioned in heaven.
Throughout Scripture, God establishes the tree of life as a representation of Christ Jesus Himself. Moreover, Psalm 1 underscores the importance of being like a tree planted by the river of life, drawing sustenance from its source. Indeed, Christ Jesus is the embodiment of this divine planting, as emphasized in Isaiah 61:3, which portrays us as the planting of the Lord.
Indeed, He is the Gardener, breaking up the ground, as illustrated in the Parable of the Sower and Seed (Matthew 13:18-43), and even recognized by Mary, who mistook Him for the gardener in John 20:11-29. His role in preparing the way remains constant, for He is unchanging—yesterday, today, and forevermore. This divine action extends beyond our joint mission, encompassing all the living words being sown into the fertile soil of hearts at this very moment.
Vision Explained
As I prayed alongside Anita and Shelley today, it became clear that God is indeed preparing the way for all of us. While I couldn't offer a clear response the other day regarding the Inspire Literary Group book Heaven’s Messenger, I now understand that God is revealing an order of events.
He is breaking up the ground so that the work outlined in Revelation 911, involving Heaven's Messenger and Your Mission in God's Army, can take root in fertile hearts. It's evident that spiritual dynamics are manifesting in tangible ways across the globe, signaling a profound alignment between the spiritual and the physical realms.
Examining the parable of the seed, we recognize that while some seeds may take root and flourish, others may perish or be scattered. We rejoice in those that take root and thrive, offering praise to God for His abundant provision.
As we look ahead to the bountiful harvest of the end times, we hold onto Revelation 14:12 and exercise patience during this season of waiting. We trust in God Almighty, who is sovereign over the reaping, the timing, and the ultimate harvest. This understanding becomes a focal point for our prayers, as we declare our reliance on His divine plan and timing.
We can discern these unfolding events and recall the teachings of John the Baptist, who exhorted us to be forerunners for God's work. His message emphasized preparing hearts to receive Christ and heralding the imminent arrival of the kingdom. This current sign is no exception; it serves as a call to align ourselves with God's unfolding plans, as something significant is on the horizon.
However, this doesn't imply that The Beach Boys book and film project is disregarded. Rather, it should unfold according to God's timing and divine order. I believe God is revealing the sequential nature of these events to me, as viewing them through spiritual eyes reveals a pattern of shadows.
Much like the sequence depicted in Revelation 1, where Heaven's Messenger conveys the heavenly message, and in Revelation 911, which heralds an awakening, these messages serve to awaken and heighten awareness. Yet, it's crucial to recognize one's place within God's army and to understand our identity as heavenly citizens. In navigating this valley, these messages profoundly address the choice between wisdom and disobedience.
We can observe how God is orchestrating the collaboration of these three ministries, forming a three-stranded cord to fulfill the clarion call of the end times. As I contemplated this vision, it became evident that there was yet another call, another net to cast into the sea. This spiritual move, characterized by The Beach Boys project, resonates like ripples on the water, gently touching the sands of the seashore.
Indeed, God guides us through both the waters and the fires of life, as affirmed in Psalms 66:12 and Psalms 23.
In Revelation 1, we witness Jesus imparting a vision to John, who then delivers the messages to the Church. Subsequently, the Church extends its outreach to the world.
Similarly, in Exodus, we observe God bestowing a vision upon Moses, who in turn conveys the message to Aaron. Aaron subsequently disseminates this message to the tribes of Israel.
God the Provider
It appears that God is orchestrating these events to guide our preparation. Just when we think we've grasped the connection, He presents another piece of the puzzle. Lately, He's been impressing upon me the significance of the seven letters to the churches. It's crucial because these letters highlight both the strengths and weaknesses of the church. We all need to heed these letters for encouragement, correction, instruction, and promise. They offer invaluable guidance to refine and bless us in these times.
God said, “Crystal, it has to be in order. Go back and read it.” So, I believe the missing component is Heaven's Messenger as it carries a powerful message that you are seen, heard, and known by God. When you read in Revelation 1, there is a pattern with God. He sent His Angel to testify to John and then sent that message to the seven churches. It's just amazing how God is bringing this wonderful group of ministries together for His purpose. It all touches the fields of harvest. Not only is it a confirmation to serve faithfully in God’s kingdom at our posts, but it also emphasizes the importance of being here at this prophetic time and hour. However, it's also highlighting the Your Mission in God's Army book.
That's it. He is revealing little pieces of what He is doing—a three-stranded cord that cannot easily be broken.
Part 3: At 7:00 PM on January 31, 2024
God is using this pattern to help us see that He is aligning things according to His divine plan. God gives vision to Heaven's Messenger to awaken the world to the reality of the God of Israel and His son Jesus Christ. God gives vision to Revelation 911 for the world to awaken to our Lord's return and prepare hearts. God gives vision to Your Mission in God's Army for the Church to rise and shine! May these spiritual fishing nets be abundantly anointed in Christ's riches and glory!
Bible Scriptures about the Parable of the Sower and Seed
Matthew 13:18-43
18 “Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19 When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in their heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20 The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21 But since they have no root, they last only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they quickly fall away. 22 The seed falling among the thorns refers to someone who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, making it unfruitful. 23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”The Parable of the Weeds
24 Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.
27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’
28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied.
“The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’
29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”
The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast
31 He told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. 32 Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches.”
33 He told them still another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds[a] of flour until it worked all through the dough.”
34 Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. 35 So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet:
“I will open my mouth in parables,
I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world.”[b]The Parable of the Weeds Explained
36 Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field.”
37 He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.
Bible Scriptures about Mary Mistook Him for the Gardener
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.” 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
Jesus Appears to Thomas
24 Now Thomas (also known as Didymus[a]), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”
28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed;blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
