When you know that you know and you really didn't want to know that much

I have always had some level of prophetic vision.  I didn't understand it. I don't claim anything.  It just has always been there.  Even when I was very young I remember instances where it manifested.

I think most people have some prophetic vision but it is often repressed by culture, peer pressure and educational bias as they grow older.

I remember the first time I was shocked with a vision.  I was 14 years old.  I was helping out at the store. A man and his two sons came in to get parts for a piece of farm machinery.  He was always a kind decent man.  I waited on him.  Got him what he wanted..  Then I looked at him and it was like looking at a corpse.  Vacant. Not there.  I didn't say anything.  I was 14.  He didn't seem unusually unhappy nor different.  Just a decent farmer.  I just knew inside that he was about to die.  The next day he went out to the field and hung himself by a piece of rope suspended from the auger of his combine.  It was horrid to think about and I felt so bad for his sons.

I never told anyone what I saw that day.  Not anyone till writing it now, here.  It is memorable because it was so clear.  Had I said to him (as I would today) to encourage him to look beyond his present pain (debt) and that life was worth living for himself, his boys and his wife and brothers, but I was 14 years old. 

That's why it's so hard to lay hands on someone today and have their whole world open up to my spiritual eyes.  Not always, but sometimes.  Then what to do?  When I see impending disaster, like a few days ago, I must say something.  It has demonstrated the importance of the Gift of the Prophetic vision in the lives of God's beloved. 

The same is true when God gives a vision of the future.  The response must be sharing it with people that need to know.  I try to put in print to help others get a grasp of what is about to happen. When I say about to happen,  there is no timetable.  It's never certain, just WHAT not WHEN.   That frustrates many..  but it's how the prophetic works.

There is a yet unfulfilled vision that was given me several years ago after Barack Obama was elected. I saw him no longer in office.. before his term was up.   The circumstances of his absence not seen.  Yet he was gone.  I know many would say that this is wishful thinking on my part since I have had disdain for the job he is doing as president.  Yet I know how divisive this would be in our country.  It's already become a huge issue dividing the nation right in half in response to what he is or has done.  Nothing happens in a vacuum and this will not. It is not in the best untruest of the USA for this to happen.  Believe me, we would have serious repercussions.

I reveal this vision because if it comes to pass, I am hopeful that those who might be affected will use restraint in response to this event.  I hope and PRAY that he completes his term and is retired quietly on January 20, 2017.  

Yet to deny the empty chair is to deny the reality of the vision.  If I saw rightly, God save us, if I didn't -- Pick up a stone and be the first to cast it.
