“Behold the spirit of the crocodile”
On November 14, 2024, I had a vision where I saw two sets of images and knew at the time that there was more revelation to come. The first image looked like a crest of some kind; it had a large pineapple with its crown, flowers were on the right side of the pineapple and long green leaves to the left.
The second image was that of a crocodile which had something in its mouth, which I later realised was a key. It felt familiar at the time, but I also noted that the creature was facing downwards with a pose that signaled it was about to go for something, or go after something. The vision ended there.
- Wake up sleepy, sneaky church
The church in Jamaica is afflicted, infected, and restricted because we have accommodated and defended Jezebel, mixture, lawlessness, idolatry, and lukewarmness. Why does the church look and act like the world? “So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth.” Revelation 3:16 NKJV
But for the sake of His holy name and all the faithful saints, there will be a shaking, separating, and sanitizing of the ‘church’ as we know it today. Christ is building His church in Jamaica and He is bringing his faithful ones out of the woodwork and from other nations across the world. His word concerning this land will not return to Him void.
To Leaders of the Church in Jamaica
There is one Lord. Yet we have many servant-leaders who have abandoned their estate, taken up the role of God, and are interfering with the divine destiny of those they should be shepherding, preparing for ministry, and perfecting for the Lord.
“But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them. Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant. And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave – just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” Matt. 20:25-28 NKJV
Where is the fear of the Lord, that keeps His servants humble, sober, and careful?
And while all this goes on, so many mantles are abandoned and unclaimed, the nation’s gates are being overtaken by evil, and our children bear such a heavy weight. “Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.” Matthew 23:10 NIV
- The Appointed Time is at hand
On March 13, 2025, I had a quick vision. I saw a section of the Bible, but all I could recognise were the verse references: 7 and 9.
Going through my dream log the following day, I noted that I had previously recorded Amos 7: 1-9. While re-reading the passage, I had a fearful knowing that the third vision that Amos got applied to the Church-houses in Jamaica. The relevant verses are 7 and 9.
This is the Word of the Lord to the Church in Jamaica(Amos 7: 7-9 NKJV)
7. Thus He showed me: Behold, the Lord stood on a wall made with a plumb line, with a plumb line in His hand. And the Lord said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” And I said, “A plumb line.”
9. Then the Lord said: “Behold, I am setting a plumb line In the midst of My people Israel; I will not pass by them anymore. The high places of Isaac shall be desolate, And the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste. I will rise with the sword against the house of Jeroboam.”
To aid understanding, let me elaborate on some key words.
- Behold – This word alerts you to pay special attention to a significant event, statement, or revelation.
- Plumbline – a standard of measurement; in this case, God’s standard of righteousness and justice used to measure the moral and spiritual alignment of individuals or nations.
- I will not pass by them anymore –They will no longer be spared.
- High places – elevated sites like hills and mountains where Israelites and Canaanites would engage in ungodly rituals, and worship idols that the Israelites were commanded to destroy.
- Sanctuaries – sacred or holy places that serve as a place of worship, refuge, and God’s dwelling among His people. For the Israelites, at one time the sanctuary was the tabernacle, and later the temple.
- House of Jeroboam – The name Jeroboam means “the people will contend.” The root words speak to a people of unfaithfulness who contend with God. Jeroboam is known for setting up golden calves in Bethel and Dan, leading Israel into idolatry. Note, Bethel means ‘House of God.’
God is always so faithful to warn us and confirm His Word, but people of God, time is running out.
The crocodile with the key in its mouth is also coming to the church.
“For it is the time [destined] for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not respect or believe or obey the gospel of God?” 1 Peter 4:17 AMP
- Wait on the Lord
On March 9, 2025, I had a vision where I saw a light to the left of my mind screen. In the center, I saw what looked like a building icon with an extension on top. I realized it was a building with a cross at the top, so it represented a church building or church house. The building lit up, and then I saw it transform into a huge, beautiful eagle. Astonished and filled with admiration, I watched the eagle flapping her wings, and I could tell she was getting ready to lift and fly high. The vision ended.
The church as we know it today will be transformed into the beautiful beacon and eagle she is meant to be. She will rise.
“My church will rise in this time,” says the Lord.
“But those who wait for the LORD [who expect, look for, and hope in Him] Will gain new strength and renew their power; They will lift up their wings [and rise up close to God] like eagles [rising toward the sun]; They will run and not become weary, They will walk and not grow tired.” Isaiah 40:31 AMP
People of God, the answer of old is to actively wait on the Lord. When we are truly waiting on God, there are no contingency plans and no other option. Waiting on Him is remaining in His vine – this looks like full submission, complete obedience, and total dependence all in one.
It is by waiting on the Lord that we learn to overcome. It is by waiting on the Lord that His image we become.
It is by waiting on the Lord that Heaven invades our realities. It is by waiting on the Lord that we shine bright with God’s glory.
It is by waiting on the Lord that all of creation responds to us. It is by waiting on the Lord that we bear the treasurable fruits of purging and pruning.
Only those who discipline themselves to wait on the Lord will rise, transcend, and carry His end `time glory.
God’s judgement on the church is a measure of grace, so please don’t miss this.
We do not have much time to get this right.
