America: From Shakespeare to Psalm 126
From Shakespeare to Psalm 126: The dream God just gave me for America
“To sleep, perchance to dream,” — is one of the many often quoted lines.
When Shakespeare penned the immortal words of Hamlet, the main character in his famous play, many stage actors have quoted Hamlet’s ‘To be or not to be’ soliloquy (Act 3, Scene 1). “To sleep, perchance to dream”
The Voice of God in a Dream
Last night, March 1, I awoke long before dawn with a strange Dream.
As The LORD has taught me to do, I just lay still, let Holy Spirit ‘brew’ in me, grab pen and paper to jot down the main points.
Once a cup of coffee fires up the brain, it’s time to sit in The LORD’s presence, listen to see what He will say, and pen what He tells me.
I too sit at my ramparts [watch tower) to see what He will say. (Habakkuk 2:1)
I’m chuckling as I write this — because He just whispered something funny in my ear.
The LORD’s saying…. “Tell them it’s not Rocket Science! I AM here to speak to ALL My Children. They just haven’t been taught correctly how to hear My Voice!”
That welcome ‘commercial’ was how The LORD speaks to me. He’s impromptu — you never know when or how He will speak.
I’m really just a simple girl, from a simple tribe, on the back side of a cornfield. I jokingly tell The LORD that all the time. He laughs.
I know I’m not a rocket scientist — I couldn’t even pass algebra or chemistry in school. Loved the theories of it, but, could never figure out how to do the equations and I froze a test time.
Isn’t it just like God — now — decades later — that He shows many of us His Glory — at this time of our life?
All science is really just God’s ‘show n’ tell’ — He is telling us Who He is. I AM!
He chooses the simple to confound the wise. Always! The Holy Spirit finds pride obnoxious — He loves transparency. He is attracted to our weakness. The helplessness of our humanity draws Him — like a bee to sweet nectar.
I figure if He spoke through a donkey, a cloud, the weather, why should His voice seem foreign to us?
The key is learning through The Word — how to listen for His anointing. His anointing in you — will teach you all things. Like how to discern between ‘our’ souls voice, and ‘others’ voice.
The anointing will teach you when it’s the enemy voice talking too. But God’s voice is so unique. There’s a knowing, a certainty, a weight to it.
Like 24 carat gold, it looks and feels different than gold-plated. Voices are like that. The real prophetic will stick to your spiritual ears.
Like a great steak — your tummy is full. Satisfied. A real Word from God goes deep into your belly. Don’t know how — it just does. We just need to believe Him.
Each voice has its unique pattern and through reason of use — Hebrews 5:14, you learn to discern clearly who is speaking.
But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” Hebrews 5:14
I think The LORD’s wanting to encourage many to pay attention to your Dreams.
Too many Bible-dream references to list here, but ask God to show you. God owns time, space and matter. He’s creative.
Don’t limit how He chooses to call you. Just pick up the phone when He calls your name.
“Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.” Jeremiah 33:3
We are all perpetual students in the school of The Holy Spirit.
We can never know everything there is to know about God — but we can know Him. He wants to be known.
Since God has no beginning and no end, He always was and always will be! There’s no such thing as a limit or a measurable quantity.
So how can we know everything about someone who can’t be quantified?
“When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that is done on earth, even though one sees no sleep day or night, then I saw all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. For though a man labors to discover it, yet he will not find it; moreover, though a wise man attempts to know it, he will not be able to find it.” Ecclesiastes 8:16-17
Yet He deeply desires our love and worship and He ‘died’ to show us Himself. Gives more weight to that expression we’ve heard ‘oh they’re dying to know you’.
Well — Jesus did do just that! He died to know us, have us, hold us, keep us.
God wants us to recognize the whisper of The Holy Spirit into our Spirit, awake or at rest.
The LORD prefers to whisper. He’s a gentleman. He’s discreet. He’s intimate. He’s exciting. He only shouts and moves like a bull in a China shop when His people won’t listen.
Think of a couple on their honeymoon. It’s intimate, a place for two. What’s more alluring to a bride, a husband who whispers in her ear, His love, or a husband who screams at his wife for attention?
Think of how our God creates life. The most intense and brilliant science happens whenever a baby is in the womb.
Those nine months are stellar, more magnificent, than all the creative engineering God worked in the galaxies of heaven.
God spoke to billions of DNA molecules each have their own software each have their own job to do — and God does it all in secret. He Not only loves a mystery. He is a Mystery!
That’s what means the scripture ‘His ways are past finding out’.
“Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!” Romans 11:33
No one can ever say, “I know all there is to know about God!” Impossible!
Yet — He can be known. It will take eons of what we call time — and we who belong to Him — will be there — to partake of His eternal glory, love, supremely perfect kingdom.
So, if your life at times seems like a dream — it’s suppose to. This span of time is more like the Dream. The real existence begins when we are one with Him.
At the honeymoon, the consummation which commences when we put down our fork and spoon at The Wedding Feast of The Lamb — we will see — this is the awake part. Oh, what He has planned for those who love Him.
“When The LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream”. Psalm 126:1
Now — here’s last night Dream — sharing just the pertinent part:
……. “And then I was in this big field outside — and it reminded me of a Military Cemetery, an official lawn where dignitaries were buried.
Don’t know why I was there…. but, as I was walking through the field, all over — I was stepping on — but trying to avoid — what I thought was ‘huge mushrooms that were underground — right under my feet — that were trying to ‘pop up’ — springing up — they were under the ground.
Just the top head shown — and I saw a kind of tan — grayish color. They were almost alive.
As I was leaving the Cemetery/ fields grounds — I looked back around to see — to double-check — and they weren’t huge mushrooms! They were the top skins of ‘baby rhinoceroses‘. Hundreds of them!
Tiny. Buried Right under the ground — trying to pierce through, and they were talking to me. In a baby animal voice — they were saying, ‘ I want to follow you hold on — wait up’
I remember thinking … “I didn’t know they could talk!” And, “What are they doing underground?” And, “Why do they want to follow me?”
And all these thoughts came to me — but I quickly left cause I had to get somewhere in a hurry. (I went into another Dream scene, which isn’t germane to this Word.)
As I was walking away — I had this sense they wanted my help.
I didn’t know who they were — or what to do with them — or where to go — but I absolutely had to be at another event quickly, so I had to leave.
As I was leaving the Cemetery field (I’m still asleep)… I’m thinking, “Baby rhinos, baby rhinos….” and then it hit me: “Baby R.I.N.O.s” — Republican In Name Only = R I N O.
End of this dream segment.
See how The Holy Spirit talks?
He gave me many Baby Rhinoceroses (Rhino‘s) in a Military Cemetery — who wanted out!
They were wanting to follow me — The Conservative Patriot, which I knew I represented in the Dream.
God knows how to paint a picture.
Baby Rhino heads, buried in the ground — whose tiny heads were trying to burrow through to the light and air, above ground.
And like marching little soldiers — they were wanting to follow me. I sensed they felt they needed to follow where I was going.
The message was clear to me. Our Nation is like a Military Cemetery with hundreds at the top — heads of government in Congress.
Whether those at the top call themselves Republicans or not — their voice, their influence, on the Nation, is buried.
This Dream wasn’t about me. I was just the character in God’s night-time stage play.
God’s calling all who love America to speak life, intercede and pray the sleeping R.I.N.Os back to life!
Baby Rino’s were looking for a way out, a rescue, someone to lead.
I know that’s why God called many of us to intercede for President Trump — he’s a leader whom God chose, and many want him out — because he stands for the Constitution, the Amendments, the Founding Documents — everything that put the ‘military soldiers’ in those military graves.
He stands for the United States of America and for The Constitution!
Only God’s People — the praying Church — who will stay in the fight — in the night-watches — the Fasts, in action, in speaking up, in being a Patrick Henry or a Paul Revere, can shake the fear and passivity off the baby RINOs in the federal, state and local government of this Nation.
They are scared. Now’s the hour for the Voice of Jesus to be heard
Also — as I reflected on this — I heard: “There are Church R.I.N.O.s too”
Uh, what LORD? What do you mean? He said….. “Redeemed In Name Only!”
Church R.I.N.O.s. I sense that this is actually more dangerous than the Government R.I.N.O.s — as those who attend Church, feel they’re good with God, their names on The Church Roll — but — The LORD Jesus isn’t really first in their lives — they’re not truly baptized in The Holy Spirit or following The Word — and that’s a dangerous place to be!
No one who loves Jesus ever wants to hear these words, “Depart from me — I never knew you!” (Matthew 7:23)
Thank you all for your patience in reading this long Word. Shalom.
Jesus is King — we are His. Sleep well.
” When The LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream. Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among The Nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.” 3 The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad.
Bring back our captivity, O Lord, as the streams in the South. Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, Bearing seed for sowing, Shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” Psalm 126:1-6

Partly through reading your word, before I read the twist about Redeemed In Name Only, I felt God had given me a similar but different one: Prophets In Name Only! Haha.
At one point I called a section of the prophets “baby prophets” or “beach-ball prophets” but then I decided they were far too dangerous to be called that. Haha.
Elizabeth..all I can say is SO MUCH TO DIGEST here! Thanks for sharing I just got something about DJT that was amazing. I don’t count myself as POLITICAL but GOD called me as an intercessor for DJT..but the RINOS in the church…brave one you are. They are rampant in the church. I will have to go back and digest all this a bit at a time. Thanks for posting like 5 words in 1..lol! Love and blessings, my friend, Sandi
Elizabeth, oh my, as I just wrote Bro Chris, so many hindrances to respond lately to anyone on here.
Your article moved me deeply. Church Rino’s, how the Lord is coming out strong on so much!! The fear of God is being brought back to the church. May we grab a hold of the seriousness of the hour and never play church anymore. Love you sister.
Thank you dear Joyce.
Your comment so encouraged me today.
I was reluctant to even post this, as I wasn’t sure if some might see it as a ‘political endorsement’- it’s not. Nor am I lauding or dissing the human leaders. I truly felt the Lord’s heart ‘to pray in’ the scared & hiding ones. There’s so many.
As far as the rest- I want to be faithful to write/say what I hear, as His Word & spirit speak to me. There’s no flawless leader in scripture, or today,save for Jesus. Just broken and malleable vessels God wants to use. I look at the fruit.
