The Vision of The Lord's Ships
(How it came to be - updated 02/20/09)
Jehovah Nissi Banner
This Banner will fly atop of the masthead of each ship when they are launched and we will have several replicas to fly over the ships during their missions. Praise the Lord! . Since receiving the Jehovah Nissi Banner back, I have planted her in the sands of the west coast at Bodego Bay, Throne Rock To Dallas Texas, to Charleston, SC on the eastcoast.
THIS BANNER WILL FLY OVER HIS SHIPS AS THEY SAIL OVER THE SEAS OF THE WORLD!
Jehovah Nissi: "I am your banner, I am your banner of VICTORY! When my banner flies all others recognize that the property under it, is owned, protected, and set aside by God"
******************************************
On the 2nd of Feb 1992 I was just getting out of church in Anaheim, CA when I felt the urging of the Spirit to go to Newport Beach.. And so ... on my trusty $400 Kawasaki 450 I rode to the corner of Bayside and PCH (Pacific Coast Hiway) and pulled over at a small yacht club. Getting off the bike, I felt an unchion to go to the Paddle Wheel Restraunt that was tied up there. I stood there watching the yachts and sailing boats upon the harbor and just relaxing in the So. California sun. Then.....
"James, where do they go to church?" I paused and looked around a full 360 degrees and said to the Lord, "Lord, they don't go to church." and relaxed, wondering what kind a question was that? About 1 minute later I heard the voice of the Lord again saying, "Then, take my church to the people". This shook me just a tad, and for the next full week I dreamed of how I could, "Take His Church to the people" I have to admit, it was fun but I also knew that after the week was over with, I really didn't have a clue how I was supposed to "Take His Church to the People".
The
Date: Feb 9,
1992 ... a day that I will never forget as long as I live.
{ "Feb 9, 1992
....(Hoag Hospital, North Newport Beach) the Lord again spoke
to
me and said, 'James,
take my church to the people' This
time I answered
and said, 'Yes Lord, I want to take your church
to the people but you are
going to have to show me how you want
me to do it.....' Then HE spoke
these words that shook me in the
spirit from head to foot...
'James,
build
my ships... to show you that it is I the Lord thy God that
speaks this thing
to you, I will give you 7 confirmations. Here
is the first ... LUKE 5:2'"
Oh Geez! I was shaking like a leaf all over inside and out... didn't even know if I could ride the bike, but I did. I went home to check out the scripture He had just given me. and I shook even more after reading it! Luke 5:1 (The Identifier of who the scripture was about .. The Lord) "AND it came to pass, that, as the people pressed upon him to hear the Word of God, he stood by the lake of Gennesaret, (It was the Lord, on a mission to preach and HE was taking his church to the people , oh.... Lake Gennesaret is another name for The Sea of Galiliee.. it depends on from what area you are from ) and now here it comes.. the witness from the Holy Spirit like I have never felt in my life and probably never will) and saw two ships standing by the lake: but the fishermen were gone out of them, and were washing their nets(Here He gives the number of ships to me which has never changed in 14 years).
And look what he was doing in verse :3 And he entered into one of the ships, which was Simon's, and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. And he sat down, and taught the people out of the ship.! And look what happens after HE is done and asks them to go out in the water a bit and cast out their nets! The Lord has shown me that the fish represents the many peoples from out of the world that will come to Him thru this ministry! and here he gives the ministry of the Ships. "Taking His Church to the People!" Now, when He said, "James, Build MY Ships" I took that literally, hence they are called, "The Lord's Ships".
Then in 1998.....
"In
the 6th year of the waiting upon the Lord He brought me to Dan 11:30
and asked me this question...'What
nation would send their ships of war
against one who comes
against the Holy Covenant?'
I
answered '"None
Lord, for no country would send their ships
against another just for their
religious beliefs" Then He
said, 'Then
who's ships are these that defend
the Holy Covenant?'
...
I knew the Answer...'They are your
ships Lord,
your
ships that are sent to defend the Holy Covenant!'" }
What
was even more astounding was this.....
"2/2/2000!!
Exactly 8 years to the day (Feb 2, 1992) when the Lord said,
'Take
my church to the people.'
...
I saw the concept plans, sketches for
the Revelation and the
Revelation II. WOW!!!!" }
And here is the Naval Architect's Rendering of The Revelation and The Revelation II
When I completed my first rendering of the Revelation in March of 1992, The Lord spoke to me and said,
"These Ships will be known as the Ships that Love Built"
Please take a moment and check out the status page for the ships at "Ships Status"
That
was almost 17 years ago, February 9, 1992 and now 17 years later Feb
9, 2009 things have changed a bit, but only to qualify, expand upon
the vision, to make it clearer. The vision is still very much alive
in my heart, I know that in time he will fulfill what He said to me
that day in 1992, "James,
Build My Ships......"
If You would like to
read about the whole story and all the different "coincidences"
that happened along the way over the past 16 years you can read the
whole Story at The
