A Time To Cross Over…

Posted on by Dr. Meri Crouley

This is a season when everything is going to shift suddenly.    Last year an amazing thing happened to me on 4/4/11   I woke up from a sound sleep and looked at the clock.  It was 4:20 a.m. (on my clock it said 4:4).  I heard the Lord speak to me almost in an audible voice, “You are crossing over a threshold – I am greenlighting your movie.  Things are going to suddenly change!”  It was April 4th and the time was 4:20 a.m.   

I have been in development on a movie about Lonnie Frisbee for almost five years.  There had been many delays and difficulties the last few years.  When I heard the Lord speak to me about this I was instantly awake!   Wow!  God was going to greenlight the movie!  The bible says, “Unless the Lord build the house, they that labor, labor in vain!”.  (Psalms 127:1). 

Hold on – it’s time for the ride of your lives!

It was a week later that we did our first Frisbee event and raised enough money to hire the writer and move ahead.  Now the script is done almost a year later.  But God is doing things so suddenly now that I hear Him saying, “Hold on – it’s time for the ride of your lives!”. 

On April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King was assassinated.  This year it will be 44 years since Martin Luther King was killed.  Four is the number of earth and  44 together is  8.  Eight is the number of new beginnings.  But I also believe that 44 is significant of  Double Portion  or the spirit of Elijah.  Look at Malachi 4:4 and it says, “Remember you the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded to him in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.  Behold I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.   And He shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the heart of  the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse. 

Restoration to our Families – Isaiah 61

God is going to bring restoration to our families and everything that was lost will be recovered (Isaiah 61).  God is doing this in my own family.  My daughter, Christina, has been miraculously delivered from a spirit of anxiety and is now over in Japan and then going to Thailand to work with victims of human trafficking.  My son, Jason, is at the Dream Center and growing strong in the Lord every day.

Don’t ever quit on your Dreams!  The Lord told me the end of last year that “He was going to make our dreams come true”.  This coming Easter Season just know that God is going to roll away the stone and the things which seemed dead in your life are going to be resurrected.  Don’t lose heart….don’t lose hope.  The Lord is going to greenlight your projects and give you favor.  JUST BELIEVE!

“I Have A Dream”

Posted on by Dr. Meri Crouley

Last night I had a dream which startled me awake!  I was sitting on a hill with many young people waiting for an event to start.  I noticed there was a young man carefully walking around and putting his hands on some of the young people’s shoulders.  It was as if they were being targeted for something.

All at once I noticed there were tankers off in the distance!  As soon as a hand was put on their shoulders and they were “picked” – the tankers then fired a silver dart at them.  I knew that these were darts from the enemy!

I tried to hold up my hands to shield these darts from them.  But I noticed that I did not have my shield to protect me.  My shield of faith was down!  I awoke and realized that God was trying to speak with me through my Dreams.

Today is the birthday of Martin Luther King.  He was probably most known for one of his most famous sermons “I Have A Dream” which he spoke during the march on Washington in 1963.  There were many injustices taking place in our nation.  Dr. King spoke to them to rise up above these injustices and believe that we can change them. 

His voice was made silent on April 4, 1968 when he was assassinated.  Many people were shocked and outraged at this senseless killing!  But his voice is still heard today.  God is awakening a whole new generation to a cry for freedom against injustices.  At the end of the sixties there was a slogan circling that said “God was Dead”. 

 Also, in 1967 there was a 17 year old hippie who went up to a mountain named Tahquitz near Palm Springs.  He dropped LSD and cried out in the canyon, “God if you’re real – REVEAL YOURSELF TO ME”.  All of a sudden the atmosphere of the canyon started to change.  Jesus appeared to him and told Lonnie that a light was being put on him to reach lost people.  His name was Lonnie Frisbee.

At the same time in history, there was another man who was crying out to God.  His name was Chuck Smith and he had been pasturing a fledgling little church in Costa Mesa, CA named Calvary Chapel.  He used to go to Laguna Beach with his wife and watch all the hippies lining the streets.  He would shake his head and say, “Dirty Hippies, why don’t you take a bath”.  His wife, Kay, would shake her head crying saying, “Chuck, don’t say that!  We have to pray that God is going to reach these kids!”. 

God caused these two men’s paths to intersect and the Jesus Movement was birthed.  Thousands of young people getting baptized in Corona Del Mar, CA at Pirates Cove.  Time magazine made Jesus “Man of the Year” – a Movement had begun. 

Another movement is here right now!  This is a movement of the Fathers.  It will be Faith of our Fathers to see the next generation birthed.  Injustices done will now be forgiven.  The Lord is going to “turn the hearts of the Father’s to the children, and the children to their fathers”.  Malachi 4

Pastor Chuck Smith recently informed his congregation on January 1, 2012 that he has lung cancer.  He has never smoked and didn’t understand how this could happen.  Because of this many people are looking back to the roots of where the movement all began.  God is going to breathe new life into a new movement and resuscitate the church.  They will be kissed to wake up to their Destinies.   The dreams where the enemy has tried to target and destroy will now be birthed again. 

The Lord is bringing forth His light to the lost!   On April 4th, 2012, it will be forty-four years since Martin Luther King was assassinated!  God is bringing forth the double portion.  The spirit of Elijah is being sent.  Even as thousands of people were baptized during the Jesus Movement so has another baptism begun.  It’s time for the new wave.

Get your boards and get ready for the ride of your life!  Surf’s up dude!
