In 2012 — a friend of mine, Karen Holland, shared this on her Facebook page.

“A few days ago, I saw in a vision a sea shell that was closed, that looked just plain from the outside.

As I looked, I could then see thru the shell and saw a beautiful priceless pearl.

Gradually the shell began to open and what was inside then became evident to everyone..

We have the pearl of great price Jesus living in us. A living risen Saviour. Because of this we too are the same pearl in Christ because we are one in Him.

The LORD gradually is making us beautiful no matter what our physical appearance is like.

That beauty in all it’s content is now being revealed to the world for others to see and recognise.

The pearl hasn’t done anything special to be what it is.

It is The LORD who has and will do everything for us, naturally and spiritually because of who He is . And that is what matters and is important to remember.

Amen.”

Recently, I re-read this, and I realised that for many days now, The LORD had been bringing something back to mind.

Maybe as long ago as 15 years earlier, The LORD showed me Billboards, that had been erected all over the country, all over The United Kingdom 🇬🇧 — exclaiming, heralding in, a new car to be revealed, the latest model of the fastest version of a supreme sports car.

You know, like the Italian super cars — Lamborghini, Maserati, Ferrari and Pininfarina.

Yet this car, this brand new, latest model, was only to be revealed at a certain time.

The Vision continued — and I saw, that next to our main health centre, of a rather impoverished northeast English town, was a large car park, a flat rectangular, piece of ground.

And it was made known that the Unveiling the Revealing, the Opening and launch of this great new model would take place on a certain day, in a certain place in this very same car park.

As that day approached thousands gathered from far and wide, around this rectangular piece of ground, often 6 or 7 deep.

There was an air of expectation and the buzz of excitement, as the people shared views on what it would look like.

The car had been placed, unseen by anyone, overnight in the middle of this parking area and a thin covering, a covering, was splayed over it — hiding the true shape and detail of the vehicle.

Then almost unnoticed, out of the surrounding crowds, a rather squat, anonymous looking person walked out without any human announcement, toward the covered car and with a single yet strong tug, pulled the covering off the car completely. The crowd seeing this at the last moment, held its breath in a hush.

And, as the shape underneath was revealed — the only thing that stood there, under the place of the Uncovering — was a single person —- a person not of any great physical note or presence — and next to it, stood the person who did the uncovering, with the covering still in his hand.

And a gasp and murmur went through the crowd — “What is this?” they say, “This is not what we expected! This is not what we come to see!”

But the person who almost silently uncovered the car — said, almost without words, announced — “This is MY Model, this is MY Creation, this is MY Body, this is MY Church…” — and fellow believers, brother and sisters — THIS is also YOU!

He is at the point of uncovering His Creation, you — you the Car, you the Pearl, already covered in shell — you are being opened, you are being presented, you and HIS Handiwork in you is being revealed.

He always had this day in mind, he always had you in MIND — and he will reveal the inner beauty within its outer shell. And you will be, and you are, ready in the day of his power.

“And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, “What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft [clothing] are in kings’ houses.”” Matthew 11:7-8.

It’s the month of August 2022, and my mind is often wandering to this unveiling. Today the 26th of that month. He reminds me of a Vision he gave about 7 years ago.

I was on my way to Bible Study. As I’m walking down the street, towards its house, all of a sudden I went into Vision.

I say into Vision, because the Vision included the very street I was walking on, going to the Bible study. So I couldn’t tell if it was the real thing, or a Vision.

But I’m in England, and I was walking forward on the left hand side of the road. And I hear the rich purring of a car. This sleek, bright red sports car pulls up beside me, and the left side passenger door swings open level to me.

This low, sleek, beautiful modeled high-performance car had a driver in the front right side driver’s seat.

I have to stoop my head low to look inside. It’s Jesus at the driving wheel!

He has one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the gear stick to his left. He looks at me and says … “Get in!”

So I get in, kinda perplexed and awed. He says, whilst his hand is on the gear stick, “Get in, strap yourself in, because we’re not stopping till the end!”

So with that, I clamber in, I shut the door and no sooner had I done — whilst clipping into the car belt — that His Hand shifted the gear stick and His Foot went flat to the floor on the accelerator.

We shot forward, the wheels screamed and I was jolted back into my seat.

His Hand has set things into motion, the place of His Feet will be glorious

The Unveiling is at hand.
