THE FIRST TRAIN OF THE TWO TRAIN VISION HAS ARRIVED! The purpose of this writing is to reveal the essence of the FIRST TRAIN in my vision of TWO TRAINS. (For the full TWO TRAIN vision see the home page.) To assist in fully expounding this explanation of the FIRST TRAIN, I have below copied the portion of the TWO TRAIN vision pertaining to the FIRST TRAIN.   TWO TRAINS – Word spoken to Gale Maiden May 2009 The Holy Spirit told me that there are two trains coming to the Wilkes County, North Carolina region. One of the trains is a literal train and the second is a spiritual train. Some interpreters of dreams and visions say the following concerning the symbolic significance of trains. Train – Continuous: Unceasing work: the Church: connected; fast; continuous chain of events; staying on track; trains begin slowly but accelerate with great power transporting massive amounts of goods.   FIRST THE LITERAL TRAIN IS A… (1) SIGN OF PROSPERITY I do not have a complete revelation on the natural train. I feel that it is a train representing prosperity and will be a sign declaring the success of the second train described below. I recently dreamed that economic success was coming first to the northeast sector of Wilkes County which includes the Roaring River. This success will spread regionally. I have felt that the name “Roaring River” is by no means an accident to the area. I believe the name “Roaring River” is prophetic and describes the river of God’s presence. (See the dream “Tsunami” on www.fathersheartministry.com . Click on dreams and vision.}   (2) SIGN OF HEALING…HEARTS OF FATHERS (REGIONAL FIRST NATION PEOPLES) AND NEWCOMERS I also feel that this literal train has much to do with the healing of the atrocities committed against First-Nation peoples though I am not quite sure how this will work. This land and region is literally crying out from the earth for restoration and unity. I have experienced in specific locations in and around the Wilkes County area, the earth literally crying out for healing. I could actually hear the voices as I walked on the land. Again I do not know how God will facilitate this restoration; He will show us.   (3) SIGN OF GOD AND “THUNDERBIRD” THUNDERING THE GOODNESS OF GOD My wife Kay had an awesome vision having to do with “thunderbird”. Thunderbird is a “mythical” benevolent bird worshiped by many First-Nation people throughout North America and other parts of the world. I believe that the voice of God is now thundering releasing His goodness and healing. The essence of the vision of Thunderbird is that the goodness of God is going to awaken at least this region. God told us that He is going to get the attention of the church with a magnificent display of His goodness. It is the goodness of God which brings repentance. This goodness I believe will include a turning of the hearts of the children (We are the children) to the fathers (First-Nation Peoples). The “Iron Horse” of suppression is being replaced by the “White Horse” of freedom and release ridden by Jesus…King of kings and Lord of lords. Watch for the arrival of a literal train!   THE FIRST TRAIN HAS COME (EXPLAINED PRACTICAL USE) By Gale Maiden I was given this TWO TRAIN VISION in early May. (See TWO TRAIN VISION at www.fathersheartministry.com) As most of you know the last two weeks of May 2009 this region was inundated with thunderstorms, rain and floods. After publishing this vision, a dear friend contacted me and asked if I had heard the comments from WXII 12 TV weather reports in which the term “training” rains and thunderstorms was used. I had not heard. I was actually in Texas for two weeks and missed both the rain and the news reports. This dear friend had read the TWO TRAIN VISION and was quickened as she heard the weather reporters talk about “training” rains and thunderstorms. I knew that this weather report in which the term “training” rains and thunderstorms was used was a clue to identifying the literal train described in the vision. I emailed WXII 12 Meteorologist department in Winston Salem, North Carolina asking someone to expound on the “training” rains and thunderstorms. WXII Chief Meteorologist Lanie Pope answered with a complete explanation of “training” rains and thunderstorms. Here is the complete email received from Lanie Pope. I have emphasized some key prophetic phrases by emboldening them in this email so that your heart will be quickened to revelation knowledge. Gale,   “Training” thunderstorms happen when the winds in the middle atmosphere that steer thunderstorms blow parallel to a warm or cold front. The storms that form ahead of these boundaries will move along it, like the cars of a train. Such "training" thunderstorms, as they are known, often unleash their downpours on the same areas, triggering flooding. We often see this type of event set up in the spring when the fronts stall nearby, meaning that the winds "upstairs" are not strong enough to blow the front through and the temperature contrast between the two air masses is not large enough to move the front.  The front acts as a highway and when storms develop, they flow parallel to the front over the same area again and again.   I hope this is helpful. Thanks for watching WXII 12 News.   Lanie Pope Chief Meteorologist WXII 12 News     EMAIL FROM LANIE POPE WXII 12 NEWS CHIEF METEROROLOGIST EXPLAINED Wow! This email speaks volumes concerning that which is now happening in the Spirit of God. “Training” here means that the thunderstorms are demonstrating the likeness of cars of a train following the path of the train track. As train tracks are the boundaries of the train and determine the train’s path so do the winds of the middle atmosphere steer the rain and thunderstorms. These “training” thunderstorms have winds which move parallel to (along side of) a rain storm i.e. the same direction of the hot or cold front, providing a boundary for the thunderstorm. The parallel winds on each side of the thunderstorm become the “train track” of the storm.   VISION OF THE FIRST TRAIN IS A NATURAL PHENOMENON DECLARING FATHER’S HEART MINISTRY EMPHASIS This understanding of the “training” thunderstorms and rain is so exciting and confirming. Those of you who are familiar with the ministry of Father’s Heart are aware that the emphasis of our ministry has been “finding your measure (boundary) of faith”. Faith is from the Spirit or wind of God and guides each of us on a righteous path. Just as Lanie Pope has explained…it is the parallel winds which guide the thunderstorms and rain. Thus we see the work of the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of truth which comes along beside us guiding us into the rain of freedom in this natural phenomenon called “training” thunderstorms and rains. Thank You Lord!   PROPHETIC NOTES: BOUNDARIES OF FAITH ARE BEING ESTABLISHED (SPIRITUAL TRAIN TRACKS) This natural train represents the Spirit (Wind) of God (Spirit of faith) steering us into our proper boundaries. These winds as described above are not adverse to us but move parallel with us and establish our proper boundaries. Rain is symbolic of the water of the word and the spirit of God. Rain is symbolic of bountifulness and fruitfulness. The guiding winds of the Holy Spirit are establishing our boundaries of faith. God says that He gives every man a measure or boundary of faith (Romans 12:3). This Holy Spirit wind that is now blowing has come along beside us and is keeping us on “track” so that we do not have a train wreck. Everything outside of faith is sin. As explained in the definition of “training” thunderstorms and rain, the concentration area of the good rain is defined by the parallel winds i.e. our spiritual “train track”. We can trust the wind (Spirit) of God…the Spirit of truth to righteously position us in our place of maximum productivity.   OUR ROLE IN FULFILLING THIS VISION – SPIRITUAL ANALOGIES UNDERSTOOD FOR PRACTICAL USE We as believers must first identify our measure or sphere of faith. The Church has been unsuccessfully attempting to “do God” instead of God “doing us” (Philippians 2:12, 13). Faith is Spirit (wind) (II Corinthians 4:13) and is essentially our instruction concerning our boundaries from our Father God. God only knows the plans He has for us. God alone knows how our spiritual faith “train tracks” are to be laid. To those who love God and keep His faith, God will reveal every footstep in our destiny. As with the wonderful rains needed for growth and maturity of life in the earth, the wind of God will make us purveyors of growth and maturity in the church. This understood and practically applied essence of the natural FIRST TRAIN is paving the way for the SECOND TRAIN; the SECOND TRAIN which is a massive movement of faith will transport us into the victory which overcomes the world i.e. even our faith. The SECOND TRAIN cannot fulfill its full power purpose of overcoming the world until the FIRST TRAIN is in place. Unity of the faith will produce the power to overcome the evil world systems. Unity of the faith only comes as the wind (train tracks) of God directs each of us into our righteous boundaries (Ephesians 4:3, 13). In the same way that our physical bodies function in full power, each member of the body of Christ must heed the wind (directions) from our head. Our head is Jesus the Anointed. In the anointing, Jesus heard and saw everything which God His Father was doing concerning Him and went and did it. Jesus therefore in a full display of how to stay on “track” qualifies to be called the way, the truth and the life. Jesus is our prototype man and demonstrates to all how to stay on “track” in the faith wind of God and to produce the wonderful life giving rains unto the final harvest. As in natural weather phenomenon we will be known as both warm fronts and cold fronts. God will stall us out (cease movement) for a while and then again move us. Everywhere we go under the authority of the winds of God (faith) will bring great spiritual and literal prosperity. As you may know, this region of North Carolina has been at least in a moderate drought for some time. These significant “training” thunderstorms and rains have relieved us from drought. Only by allowing the wind of God as with the “training” rains to form our “track” will we not train wreck the plans of God; prosperous plans to lead us into world overcoming faith. You may not yet be convinced or understand that this vision is now in motion. Those of you who are reading this article already know that there is a “God tug” guiding you into your “safe harbor” i.e. your place of faith. Personally, Father’s Heart Ministry is experiencing a great harvest. By the grace of God we have discovered our measure of faith and are seriously walking with and growing in intimacy with our gifting. Since discovering our measure of faith we have been empowered to reach effectively more people than ever before.   HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM ON TRACK? Practical, practical, practical is the cry of a now somewhat frustrated church. Many are asking, “What do I do with visions, words, dreams etc.?” How do we know and follow these tracking winds (spirit of faith)? God has many ways of speaking to His children. First and foremost we must know that God has written our destinies in our hearts. As a child of God we are empowered to examine ourselves to see if we are in God’s faith (II Corinthians 13:5). Finding your measure or boundary of faith begins with a self-heart examination. What is causing your heart to beat so loudly? What is it concerning the Kingdom of God that occupies your heart and mind? This is God speaking faith placing you on the track designated for your life. If we search our hearts we will know the mind of the Spirit; the Spirit of God has already gone before God as your intercessor (advocate or attorney) and knows the will of God for your life (Romans 8:27). You no longer have a heart of stone but as a new creation you have a pliable heart of flesh. God is now able to reveal to you His plan for your eternal existence. I heard Pastor Myles Munroe (www.bfmmm.com) allude to this righteous place in the Spirit of faith as “our Garden of Eden”. It is a place where maximum rain (rain is good) can produce all the fruit of the life of God.   JOB SAW IN THE SPIRIT WHAT THE METEOROLOGIST LANIE POPE SAW IN THE NATURAL Job, before the days of meteorology (scientific meteorology), declared by the Spirit of God that God gives weight to the wind, measures out the waters, sets the boundaries for the rain and gives the course and direction for thunderbolts.  Meteorologist Lanie Pope of WXII 12 News through scientific methods becomes a handbook and proof of God as the Creator of all things and the One Who orchestrates all things. Lanie Pope has verified through science that Job was totally correct in His assessment of how “TRAINING” rains work. Note the following amazing scripture from the Book of Job: For He (God) looks to the ends of the earth, and sees everything under the heavens, when He imparted weight to the wind, and ·         meted (measured) out the waters by measure, ·         when He set a limit (boundaries or tracks) for the rain, ·         and a course for the thunderbolt, then He saw it and declared it; He established it and also searched it out. (Job 28:24-27, emphasis & parenthesis added, NAS)   REMEMBER THAT THE MANIFESTATION OF THE NATURAL TRAIN AS SHOWN ME BY THE SPRIT IS TO BE A SIGN OF THE FOLLOWING THREE THINGS:   (1) NATURAL TRAIN IS A SIGN OF PROSPERITY   Our inheritance is prosperity in every sense of the word. The FIRST TRAIN is an indicator of great prosperity. From the Book of Ephesians, the Apostle Paul prays to God that, “We may know what are the riches of the glory of our inheritance as saints of God.”   Note what the Prophet David scribed concerning rain as it relates to our inheritance.   Thou didst shed abroad a plentiful rain, O God; Thou didst confirm Thine inheritance, when it was parched. (Psalm 68:9, emphasis added, NAS)   Rain confirms our inheritance! If you can receive this sign you will begin to see great righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit pervade your life. Our testimony is that as we have allowed the wind of God to “track” us into our place of rain…prosperity has truly confirmed our inheritance. There is no greater joy than knowing that you are in the designated place of God.     (2) NATURAL TRAIN IS A SIGN OF HEALING…ESPECIALLY HEARTS OF FATHERS (FIRST NATION PEOPLES) WITH CHILDREN “NEWCOMERS”   Rain softens the ground and provides vital life giving water to undiscovered life hidden beneath its dry surface. I believe the “training” rains have naturally set in motion a profound spiritual impartation and empowering for true forgiveness between First-Nation Peoples and “newcomers”. “Newcomers” is my term for non-indigenous people i.e. those from other nations who now call America home. The softening of the ground by the “training” rains is symbolic of resurrection from the dead. The earth is about to release the spirits (the real personage / identity) of those unjustly murdered by “newcomers”.   The undiscovered life hidden beneath the earth’s surface alluded to above is the unique life and culture of a nation (First-Nation Peoples / Indian Nations) not yet properly identified. Everyone needs to be truly known by their unique God given identity. Murder through faithlessness steals away any hope of individuals to be fully recognized in their God given destiny. This is understood as we see the voice of the blood of Abel, who was murdered by unrighteous Cain, crying out from the earth. What is the cry of the voice of the blood (life) of Abel? I believe that Abel’s cry is, “Identify with me…I am righteous!” We know that the better blood sacrifice of Jesus the Christ has fulfilled Abel’s cry as Jesus has fulfilled all righteousness. Our identity in the righteous Christ has forever given believers a new name and true identity.   Only when we honor (receive) from our hearts the seemingly less honorable will the schism and division of broken hearts be healed. Biblical honor is receptivity…receptivity of the uniqueness of God’s creation.     WHAT DO FIRST-NATION PEOPLE DEEM AS THE PRIORITY ACTION NEEDED FOR HEALING?   I recently talked with a gentleman who has extensive expertise concerning the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation. This gentleman told me that he had interviewed the chief of the Eastern Band of the Cherokee Nation and also other leaders and members of this nation. I asked him to identify that which would be considered the number one action required for healing from First-Nation Peoples perspective. From this man’s response, I concluded that the overriding desire of these peoples was simply an acknowledgement of their own unique identity.   We all have a God given right to our unique identity and for that identity to be recognized universally. Dishonor of this God given right to our unique identity constitutes murder. Scripture says that those who hate or dishonor their brothers are murderers.     CRIES FROM THE GRAVE – “LOOK AT ME…IDENTIFY ME! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?”   As I have said even as the blood of righteous Abel, murdered by his brother Cain, cries from the grave longing to be properly identified as a testimony to righteousness and so do the spirits of the true fathers of this land i.e. First Nations People. I for years have been crying out from “my grave” of “lost” identity only to fairly recently begin to discover my unique oneness with my Creator. Only in the sureness of our identity with Father God will we be empowered to see others as God sees them (II Corinthians 5). This is our Father’s heart!   God created us to know who we are in Him and in every creature there is a God given desire for identity. We must begin to declare our sin and the sins of our fathers asking God for forgiveness (empowerment) so that we may walk in the path of righteousness bringing reconciliation with God and man. We must know that every human being is created by God and is unique, special and of great value. We must search the Spirit of God for empowerment to know and appreciate the marvelous uniqueness of every individual created by our Loving God.     IS HEALING NOW POSSIBLE?   Is it really possible to bring healing now after so many generations of hatred and murder? Yes, in the Spirit of Jesus the Christ is found the end of all controversy. Adam and Eve’s son Abel, though murdered continues to speak. Abel’s righteous sacrifice of the firstling of the lambs which God required for worship (Genesis 3:21), pre-typed the once and for all sacrifice of Jesus, the Lamb of God; the sacrifice of Jesus the Christ on the cross and His resurrection has forever obtained an identity in and testimony to the righteousness of our God.   The sin offering sacrifice i.e. the firstling of the lambs (the shedding of the blood) given by Abel, again was a pre-type of the better blood sacrificed for sin by Jesus our Lord (Genesis 4). The writer of the Book of Hebrews points us to the better testimony of the blood of Jesus than that of righteous Abel and tells us to come, “to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than {the blood} of Abel.” (Hebrews 12:24, NAS)   What is this saying to each of us? First, all types and shadows in the Old Covenant point to Jesus. Notice in the verse above (Hebrews 12:24) that Jesus is the mediator of our New Covenant. This means that with the victorious Jesus as our New Covenant mediator (attorney / advocate) we can rest assured of righteous resolve to the murderous atrocities committed against innocent peoples. Our failure to properly bring forth from all peoples their God given unique identities can only be reconciled through a proper identity with God through Christ. Jesus Christ is the ONE NEW MAN and in Him we are uniquely and properly identified.     GROUND (LAND) NOW CURSED?   What is the evidence of unresolved sinful and murderous atrocities against mankind? Does the ground from whence Abel speaks remains cursed? Could this healing which God desires between First-Nation Peoples and the perpetrators of injustice begin to heal our land (earth/ground)? What happened to the ground when unrighteous Cain refused to honor the needs of righteous Abel thereby committing murder?   The Lord said to Cain, "Where is Abel your brother?" And he said, "I do not know. Am I my brother's keeper?"   The Lord next said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to Me from the ground. And now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand. When you cultivate the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you; you shall be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth." (Genesis 4:8-10, NAS)   How important is the ground? Cain said to the Lord, "My punishment is too great to bear! Behold, Thou hast driven me this day from the face of the ground; and from Thy face I shall be hidden, and I shall be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth, and it will come about that whoever finds me will kill me." (Genesis 4:14, 15, emphasis added, NAS) Do you ever wonder why certain geographical locations seem so desolate and oppressive? Murderers in the image of Cain (the faithless way of Cain) have brought great distress to the ground. The healing of our communities and nation is contingent upon righteous people righteously identifying others by acknowledging the breath of God destiny hidden in every heart. The goal of satan is to isolate every human being from God. Satan succeeded in convincing Cain that he was not his brother’s keeper. In Cain’s failure to righteously identify Abel’s righteousness and identity in God, Cain actually murdered Abel and became an isolated vagrant and wanderer in the earth. Every time we dishonor another individual we are actually committing murder thereby stealing and destroying their God given identity! The way of Cain is a faithless way. The way of Cain denies the right of the breath (wind) of God to direct or “track” our life. Can we now better understand why the literal “training” rain visitation needs to be fully understood? As God desired to instruct Cain to walk in his proper boundary, so does He desire for each of us to hear and walk in the abundance of rain…rain directed by the wind (Spirit) of God.   DO WE HAVE TO LITERALLY KILL SOMEONE TO BE GUILTY OF MURDER?   The sin of murder has destroyed the strength of the ground beneath our feet and has separated the peoples of the world in an unrighteous manner. Do we have to literally kill someone to be guilty of murder? The answer is no. Scripture tells us that whoever hates his brother (as Cain hated Abel) is a MURDERER. I John 3:15 says, “Everyone who hates his brother is a murderer; and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.” (NAS)   The Apostle James says that those who fail to cry out to our Lord God Sabaoth, the Lord of Hosts are murderers. These are those who through faithlessness, unrighteousness and murder failed to labor in the harvest of God for others. These are those who did not allow the “training” rains of their lives to be guided by the wind (faith) of God.   Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, {and} which has been withheld by you (you did not mow), cries out {against you} and the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth. You have lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. You have condemned and put to death (murdered) the righteous man, he does not resist you. (James 4:4-6, emphasis added, NAS)   Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord of Hosts, is the Name of God which by definition amplifies the plurality (hosts) of the body of Christ. To righteously cry out to our Lord God Sabaoth is to cry out for laborers to the harvest of the many hosts (believers) of God. We as faithful believers are all called the hosts of God. When Joshua met the Captain (Lord) of Hosts prior to destroying the city of Jericho he was unsure whose side the angel of the Lord would take in the pending battle of Jericho. Joshua knew that he was a host of the Lord therefore when the angel of the Lord declared his title as the Captain of the hosts of the Lord, Joshua knew immediately that the angel of the Lord was with him and not with his enemies (Joshua 5:13-15). God is truly the LORD of the armies & of all hosts.   DISHONOR AMONG MEN LEADS TO DIMINISHING STRENGH AND SUPERFICIAL HEALING OF OUR LAND Look at America now to see that the ground is not yielding its strength and schism pervades the church and our government. We know that God wants to heal our land (II Chronicles 7:14) and I believe that this will happen. This region of North Carolina (my personal realm of authority), along with America and the world are witnessing a relentless spiritual attack against our faith by which we are empowered to access the wonderful provision (rain) of God. In the faith of God which honors both God and His created we can eliminate division and isolation leading to death.   The Apostle Paul wrote to a divided church in Corinth pinpointing the root cause of schism (I Corinthians 12:20-27). He wrote that we must realize that we are one body with many members. The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need for you”; or again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” Paul goes on to say that it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary and those members of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor. Paul says that God has composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member who lacks so that there should be no division in the body, but {that} the members should have the same care for one another.   All division among peoples is caused by failure to honor the God given uniqueness and individuality of each. As I mentioned before, the First-Nation Peoples expressed a desire to be healed when the righteous honor due them as unique individuals and as a nation is from the heart of God expressed to them.   In the name of “Christianity”, we have for the most part dishonored the uniqueness and individuality of other nations by forcing an identity on them that is not that which God created for them. In my studies of tribal worship and symbolisms, I see that without exception every tribal entity desires to please God. This desire to please a deity is expressed in unique ways yet symbolically and allegorically without a doubt will always point to our Creator and one true God; in some instances even clearly pointing to Jesus the Messiah.  Religious terminology may differ but our heart expression comes from our one true God. Others nations are not coming forth in an expression of worship from some other god because there is only one true God.    I believe that great blessings are about to be released upon our land as faith rises as a result of truly listening to the voice of the blood of the innocent first-nation peoples. Let me say that not only will healing come to First Nation Peoples but to and between all ethnic groups. Jesus must be recognized and applied as the superior voice of faith. We must come to Jesus as the mediator of the New Covenant and healer of all schism in the hearts of men. Jesus the Anointed One is the bench mark by which we will righteously identify mankind. Jesus said concerning His identity, “If you have seen me you have seen the Father.” The attributes and characteristics of God are so infinitely unique that the many billions of His creatures can be one with Him yet totally distinct.     RIGHTEOUS IDENTITY…FATHERS AND CHILDREN ONE IN CHRIST BLESSING OF OUR LAND   "And he (Spirit of Elijah) will restore the hearts of the fathers to {their} children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and smite the land with a curse." (Mal 4:6, NAS)   This righteous identity of peoples is that which the Prophet Malachi meant when he said that the Spirit of Elijah wound turn the hearts of the fathers to the children and the hearts of the children to the fathers. The first-nation peoples are the fathers of our land…we are the children. Generational unity of the faith i.e. fathers to children and vice versa is soon to be reckoned releasing the curse off the land and bringing great restoration of God’s blessings to this nation.     (3) NATURAL TRAIN IS A SIGN OF GOD’S GOODNESS AND “THUNDERBIRD THUNDERING” THE GOODNESS OF GOD As I wrote in the original TWO TRAIN VISION My wife Kay had an awesome vision having to do with “thunderbird”. Thunderbird is a “mythical” benevolent bird worshiped by many First-Nation People throughout North America. I believe that the voice of God is now thundering louder than ever before releasing His goodness and healing. The essence of the vision of Thunderbird is that the goodness of God is going to awaken the church. God told us that He is going to get the attention of the church with a magnificent display of His goodness. It is the goodness of God which brings repentance. Romans 2:4 says, “Do you think lightly of the riches of His kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that the kindness of God leads you to repentance?” (NAS)  Our loving and good God is positioning us as with the “training” thunderstorms and rains to display through faith His loving kindness and goodness.   RAIN (AND SUNSHINE) ARE ALWAYS GOOD Perfection, which is the goodness and love of God, is vividly described by Jesus as the release of sunshine and rain on both the righteous and the unrighteous... the good and the evil. This is Jesus’ way of instructing all to honor all peoples as does God through love. Note this most profound scripture which vividly describes the God way of displaying His goodness and love in perfection: "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor, and hate your enemy. But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you in order that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on {the} evil and {the} good, and sends rain on {the} righteous and {the} unrighteous. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax-gatherers do the same? And if you greet your brothers only, what do you do more {than others}.  Do not even the Gentiles do the same? Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” (Matt 5:43-48, emphasis added, NAS) Job, a man of great prosperity, confirms the goodness and love of God’s heart in sending forth the rain and water upon the earth. "He gives rain  on the earth, and sends water on the fields, so that He sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.” (Job 5:10-11, emphasis added, NAS) Also Job said… Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; to cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; to satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew? (Job 38:25-28, emphasis added, KJV) The Prophet Hosea best sums up the essence of the natural FIRST TRAIN as it relates to the thundering goodness of the voice of God. "So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD. His going forth is as certain as the dawn; and He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth." (Hosea 6:3, emphasis added, NAS)   SUMMARY OF PRACTICAL REVELATION OF THE FIRST TRAIN Heed this vision and word of God. God is emphatically encouraging His people to earnestly contend for the faith which will bring about an awesome display of His goodness. Our goal of having faith thereby demonstrating the goodness of God is to bring repentance. The rain of God’s goodness can only occur when the winds of the Holy Spirit are allowed to “track” us to our proper boundaries of faith. God graciously gave us this vision and miraculously demonstrated its sureness by sending us “training” thunderstorms and rain during the spring of 2009; also by sending a Meteorologist to bring us natural understanding of that which God wanted us to see in the Spirit of God. Can you now see that in order for the SECOND TRAIN of faith to begin to carry the great load or burden of implementing salvation to a lost and dying world can only be realized as we seriously walk in our measure or boundary of faith? This walking in our God given measure of faith is called walking in the fear and worship of God.    LOVING VOICE OF WARNING Remember that everything outside of faith is sin; the wages of sin is death. The Lord has for some time now been speaking consistently through dreams and visions concerning the need to allow the “training” rains and thunderstorms come forth unto our full inheritance and harvest. I have ministered the Book of Jude on several occasions recently. This epistle from Jude is a warning to earnestly contend for the faith or wind of God. Jude urgently warns that giving up the faith which God gives will lead to sure destruction. Jude gives specific historical instances of the people of God having begun in the faith instruction of God i.e. in their “training” rain or measure of faith but later betrayed or surrendered the faith only to destruct. For instance… the children of Israel, having been saved out of Egypt, died in the wilderness because they betrayed the faith given to them by the Spirit of God. Another instance of betrayal of the faith found in the Epistle of Jude is the angels who left their first estate (the place of faith) and are now bound in chains. This FIRST TRAIN from the vision given me must be seen as a loving and gentle nudge from God our giver of faith not to betray the wind of the Spirit. We must allow God’s breathe of faith to “track” us into a place of great rain unto our inheritance and provision. A failure to fear (have faith and trust) God and to worship God negates God’s privilege of giving provision and life to us.   HOW DO WE DO THE FIRST TRAIN? We seriously and earnestly contend for the faith which God has given to us. Remember that faith is simply your destiny being spoken to you by the Holy Spirit wind of God. The path of faith and righteousness is not hidden from us. In fact we do not have to go to heaven not under the earth to find it. It is nigh unto our hearts and in our mouths i.e. the word of righteousness through faith (Romans 10:6-10). The Apostle John by the Holy Spirit penned the following verse concerning faith: For whatever is born of (agrees with) God (in the heart) overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world-- our faith. (I John 5:4, parenthesis added, NAS) Let me say, “Get on board!” The SECOND TRAIN of faith has its diesels (engines) humming. It’s picking up speed…coast to coast. All you need is faith…don’t need no baggage…you just praise the Lord!   ARE THERE MORE RECENT NATURAL SIGNS INVOLVING TRAINS?  RECENT NATURAL TRAIN CRASHES INVOLVING TWO TRAINS  IS GOD SPEAKING? Note: It is most interesting that since the TWO TRAIN vision was given to me there has been several tragic incidents involving TWO TRAINS. I believe that the following train crashes are prophetically speaking a warning to the body of Christ concerning this season. ·         There has been a recent two train crash in Washington, D. C. where the D. C. Metro Line saw nine people killed as a result of an “old” train crashing into the “new” train. I believe that this train crash is prophetically speaking to the church in America and to this nation concerning a pending “train wreck.” Disaster will come to this nation if the church does not rise up and find the current wind (voice) of God. This wind must first be found for our individual lives. We the church must advocate before God, calling for hearing ears for our government so that the winds of God’s direction (faith) for this nation may be clearly heard and implemented. The number nine (number of precious ones killed) is the number of judgment or choice. I am not saying that the nine killed in this train wreck were judged worthy of death. I am simply looking at the number of deaths and hearing the Spirit of God declare the essence of the number nine as it relates to TWO TRAINS colliding. ·         There has been a two train crash at Disney World on the Monorail in which a young man was killed. ·         There has been a two train crash in San Francisco where approximately 40 people were injured. Consider the three locations i.e. Washington, DC, San Francisco, California and Disney World in Orlando, Florida! Is God lovingly warning us to find and occupy our measure of faith? Yes and I believe that as this message is heeded faithfully great and mighty things are in store for our region and this great nation. The FIRST TRAIN has arrived. Allow yourself to be directed by the wind of God so that you will release abundant rain upon our land providing a God harvest for precious people everywhere. Set your heart to be a “train car” on the TRAIN OF FAITH. Through this unity of the faith we will see great and mighty things which the Lord desires to show us. I declare in love that you will not allow your faith to fail and when (not if) you are victorious you will honor and strengthen our brethren!   Gale & Kay Maiden Father’s Heart Ministry an Apostolic Resurrection Company 222 Salem Drive, Moravian Falls, North Carolina 28654 www.Fathersheartministry.com office@fathersheartministry.com
