Vision Of The Today And TomorrowMitt Jeffords

June 01, 2007

I woke up one morning and almost immediately my thoughts were given overto much fear and anxiety concerning my present financial situation. I thenprayed and asked the Lord to help me believe that he was truly sovereignover my finances. I also asked the Lord to deliver me from these tormentingand troubling counsels of unbelief, doubt, and fear. I was in a great battle inmy mind, fighting against multitudes of lying counsels that were seeking tooverthrow my faith in the Lord. Satan was also continuously enticing me withcounsels that were tempted me to take control and become my own lord of

this matter, to taking it completely out of Gods hands. But after Iacknowledged the Lords sovereignty over my life and asked for him to helpme, he heard my prayer and came and quieted my soul. Then faith wasrestored and peace returned to rule over my thoughts. Oh how wonderful it isto know that he who has power to calm the winds also has power to calm thestorms in our mind.

II Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after theflesh because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty throughGod to the pulling down of strong holds and casting down imaginations, andevery high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing

into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ (The Prince of Peace).

Matthew 7:24-25 Jesus said, Therefore whosoever hears these sayings ofmine and does them, I will liken him unto a wise man who built his houseupon a rock: and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the windsblew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not because it was founded upon arock.

Mark 4:37-40 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat intothe ship so that it was now full of water. And Jesus was in the hinder part ofthe ship asleep on a pillow: and they awoke him saying, Master, do you notcare that we are perishing? And Jesus arose and rebuked the wind, and saidunto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a greatcalm. And then he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? How is it that youhave no faith?

James 1:6-7 But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers islike a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed; for let not that manthink that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

Psalm 34:4 I sought the Lord and he heard me, and delivered me from all my

fears.

Then the next morning, as soon as I awoke, the same battle began to rageagain in the thoughts of my mind. But before I could get out bed to pray, andworship the Lord by asking for him to help me, I heard the voice from the Lordspeaking to me that which is written Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren,whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things

are just, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; ifthere be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things. I thenhesitated and considered the counsel in this word, but almost immediately theattack in my mind started up again. I then realized that none of the thoughtsthat attacking me in my mind had any agreement with those things spoken ofin Philippians 4:8. I then just laid there trying to resist any thoughts fromentering into my mind that were not true, or honest, or just, or lovely, or of agood report.

It was then that the Lord gave to me this vision:

I saw a woman that at first seemed like she was standing on top of alarge wagon; and she was leaning forward and cracking the whip overa team of 7 horses, trying to get them to go as fast as they possiblycould. She held the reigns to all 7 horses in one hand and had the whipin the other; and she never stopped using her whip. When I focused myattention on this woman, I first noticed that she had a facial appearancethat was as ugly, as cruel, and as cold as a lot of the witches that Ihave seen portrayed in cartoons and movies. She was also dressedcompletely in black, from head to toe. It was then that I also noticedthat her attire was also exactly like the attire that you would expect tosee on a harlot, right down to the fishnet stockings; the only differencebeing that she was not as colorful in clothing as prostitutes becauseshe was dressed in all black.

As I said, I had at first assumed that this woman was driving a team of7 horses, but that was because of the large cloud of dust that wasbeing kicked up, I was only able to see seven heads. But when I hadtime to consider more closely what I was seeing in this vision, Isuddenly realized that these were not horses at all, but rather theyappeared to be like some type of dragons; and I then realized that thiswoman was not standing on top of a wagon, but she was standing on

the single body of dragon that had seven long-necked heads. It wasthen that the vision ceased before my eyes.

I barely had time to rest from what I saw in this vision when suddenly the Lordgave to me another vision.

In this vision I saw before me a large yard that greatly resembled thatwhich one might see at an old southern plantation. The yard was atleast 4 or 5 acres that gradually sloped down to a quiet peaceful covethat was just off of a very large lake or the ocean. The yard wascovered with a beautiful lawn and it was completely covered with these

very large oak trees that wonderfully shaded the entire yard. I then sawthis beautiful woman who seemed to be in her middle 20s, and she

2

was just sitting on the lawn leaning her back up against one of thelarge oak trees. She was dressed in a long, white cotton or linen dressand she also had on a large white floppy type of straw hat. She had themost peaceful and contented countenance that I have ever seen onanyones face. She was just sitting there with a very peaceable and

contented smile as she watched over 3 children that were playingbetween her and the cove. She appeared to be a stark contrast of thewoman who was riding atop the beast.

When the vision was over, the Spirit of the Lord then quickened unto me thatthe beast and the woman that I saw in the first vision was the same beast andwoman that rides the beast that is spoken of in Revelation 17:1-5. Then theLord reminded me the things that he had previously taught me about the twowisdoms; the wisdom of this world, which dwells in the carnal mind, and thewisdom of God, which dwells in the spiritual mind. This whorish wisdom isalways desirous to direct the souls of men into misery and death, while the

wisdom of God is brings forth peace and life.

James 3:13-18 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you?Let him show out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and do not lieagainst the truth; for this wisdom descends not from above, but is earthly,sensual, and devilish. For where envying and strife are, there is confusion andevery evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, thenpeaceable, gentle, and willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, withoutpartiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown inpeace of them that make peace.

Ecclesiates 3:18 I said in my heart, concerning the estate of the sons ofmen, that God might manifest them and that they might see that theythemselves are beasts.

Then the Spirit of the Lord brought into my remembrance a word that he hadspoken to Debbie, one of the women who I had once fellowshipped with:

I desire to give to you the treasures of life; but you must first exchangethis hesitation and reserve, this lack of trust, this anxiety, and this fret

for my peace. Consider what the gift is that I have given unto you. Doyou no longer desire to be united to me in peace? Be assured that Iknow all about you. I have seen the beast within you.

I have seen the doubt. I have seen the rage. I have seen the scorn andthe spite that you have for me. I have seen the bitterness and the evilthat you think of me. I have seen the fear in your heart. I have seen theconfusion of your own counsels. I have seen your lack of faith in me, aswell as all of your unbelief. I have seen the lack of love that you havefor me, as well as lack of loyalty. I have seen your lack of patience. Ihave seen your depression.

Only I, the Lord your God, can tame this beast. Only through my lovefor you will this beast be tamed. Be not afraid, for my love for you isunconditional, and I am not offended by the beast within. I am here todeliver you and set you free.

But you have not received my love, for you have set aside my word,the very word that reveals everything that I said that my word could dofor you. You did not believe me when I said, I will give you assuredpeace in this place. I am asking you again to believe. I am asking youto set aside the pride, the hurt feelings, the fear of rejection, and thefear of suffering. Let your heart be broken (as a wild horse is broken).Let your feelings suffer. Let your mind go. Only trust in me. I am theone who will carry you through your trials. I do not allow for you to gothrough these trials to harm you, but rather to save you from your ownself, from the counsels of the beast that dwells within you.

Then the Lord said to me that the seven heads of the dragons are seven lyingspirits that Satan sends to in his attempts to turn our hearts away from theLord: rebellion, fear, scorn, pride, doubts, unbelief, and confusion; and thedesire to believe anyone of these counsels comes forth from the wisdom ofthis world.

I then asked, Lord, why was this woman dressed in the attire of whatappeared to be both a witch and a harlot? And the Lord answered me andsaid, Because she is the wisdom of man that both seeks to seduce andbewitch men with counsels that lead my people away from me.

James 1:14 Every man is tempted when he is drawn away of his owndesires and enticed. And when desire has conceived, it brings forth sin; andwhen sin is finished it brings forth death (the miserable thoughts of the carnalmind).

I Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaks expressly that in the latter days, someshall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines ofdevils.

Then I asked, Lord, where is this woman racing to get to as fast as she

possibly can?

The Lord answered and said, Tomorrow; for tomorrow is that place that Ihave given instruction to my people not go; for did I not say, Takenothoughtfor tomorrow. I am the God of today and the God of now. Today isthe day that my peace will rule in your heart and now is the place of mypresence. My peace rules in the now; my peace does not rule over theimaginations that yearn to take you into tomorrow. Tomorrow is a place of fearand dread, a place of anxiety and worry, a place of unfulfilled and failedexpectations and dreams; and a place of uncertainty. Tomorrow is the placewhere Satan loves to torment and trouble with thoughts of worst case

scenarios. I am with you now, at this very moment, and I yearn to give to youlife to you now; the abundant life that you desire. How can I give you life today

when you are seduced and bewitched to follow after those counsels whichlead you into tomorrow? In my presence is the life that you desire, and mypresence can only be found today, not in tomorrow.

Matthew 6:34 Therefore take no thought for tomorrow: for tomorrow shall

take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

James 4:13-17 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go tosuch and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit"; butyou do not know what will happen tomorrow. For what is your life? It is even avapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away. Instead you oughtto say, If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that. But now you boastin your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. He that knows to do good, anddoes not do it, to him it is sin.

Tomorrow is that place where the unbelievers, the fearful, the disobedient, the

proud, the doubters, and those who have no hope that they can find any life intoday are enticed to go to, Many come tomorrow because they are hopingthat they will find a better day and a better life than that which they areexperiencing today. The truth is that tomorrow is nothing but a lying illusion, amirage of dreams, expectations, and plans that appear in the imaginations tokeep one from going mad today. All who surrender to believe these illusionsabout tomorrow will only find that when tomorrow comes, they are stillhopeless in today and hoping that tomorrow will be a better day. I do not rulein tomorrow says the Lord. I rule in today, in the now, and in the present.

Proverbs 27:1 Do not boast about tomorrow because you do not know whata day may bring forth.

Those who walk in faith and believe my word resist the imaginations thattempt them into going into tomorrow because they are finding life in today. Iam faithful and true to all those who have asked for and received my wisdomto believe and hold to my words. I have been waiting patiently in the NOW;waiting for my people to come believing that I ready to fulfill my promise of lifetoday. This whorish wisdom also waits for my people; always waiting at thevery beginning of the day to take them into tomorrow. It is when my peopleare overcome in these temptations that the true nature of the beast is

revealed; and that nature is the death that inhabits the carnal mind. Only thelight of my life is able to reveal the truth about that nature that is hides in thesecret places of the heart and in the dark places of the mind. It is only whenthe soul of a man believes and yields to the desires of this worldly wisdomthat authority and power is given to her rule over the beast with all kinds ofimaginations that bring forth either fear, or confusion, or worry, or depression,or scorn, or unbelief, or stress, or failure, or despair, or anxiety, or evilsuspicions, or uncertainty, and many other such like thoughts that only deathin those who receive and believe her counsels. She races to bring the souls ofmen into that place of tomorrow; that place where she rules over the thoughtsof those she hates with misery and torment. Tomorrow is that place where the

wisdom of this world sits as a queen over the kings of your heart, ruling overthem with unrest, strife, and trouble.

and your seed may live. How hard is it for you to make a choice? Are youafraid to ask of me to give you life today? This day, I have set before you lifeand death; that is, I have set before you a choice between the wisdom thatdwells in the carnal mind or the wisdom that comes from above; the wisdomthat gives life to the spiritually minded. I have given a choice unto you this day

to see whose counsels you are going to choose to believe and serve. If youchoose to believe the counsels of that come forth from the wisdom of thisworld, then death shall surely follow after you: trouble, uncertainty, worry,bitterness, misery, stress, depression, confusion and unrest. If you choose notto believe that I am willing to freely give unto you my wisdom, then I swearyou shall not find any rest because you have put a stop to the river of life thatflows from my heart. If you do not ask for my wisdom today, then the wisdomof this world shall quickly take your heart captive to those places wheredarkness and death reign. If you choose life for this day, then ask for me togive unto you my wisdom; the wisdom that is freely given to those who ask forit. If you delight in me, then I shall give unto you the life that your heart so

desires. Those who walk in my wisdom are those who choose to walk in mypresence, says the Lord. I am life.

Romans 8:5 (AMP) For those who are according to the flesh and arecontrolled by its unholy desires set their minds on and pursue those thingswhich gratify the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit and arecontrolled by the desires of the Spirit set their minds on and seek thosethings which gratify the [Holy] Spirit. Now the mind of the flesh [which is senseand reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all themiseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy]Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever].

Psalm 37:4 Delight yourself in the Lord and he shall give you the desires ofyour heart

Stir yourself up and let not your heart forget that I am the God of today andnow, and not the god of tomorrow. My wisdom is as river of living water thatflows continually from me in the hearts and the minds of all those who ask forher. Today, my wisdom thinks on those things which are true. Today, mywisdom thinks on those things which are honest. Today, my wisdom thinks onthose things which are just. Today, my wisdom thinks on those things which

are pure. Today, my wisdom thinks on those things which are lovely. Today,my wisdom thinks on those things which are of a good report. Today, mywisdom thinks only on those which pertain to life. Today, my wisdom is as ariver of abundant life that is ready to flow from my heart into your heart; a riverthat flows anew every day with life. My wisdom does not wait until tomorrow tothink on these things.

II Timothy 1:6 Wherefore I put you in remembrance that you stir up the gift ofGod

Today, the wisdom of this world is ready to worry and stress about tomorrow.

Today, the wisdom of this world is ready to fill your thoughts with fearful andterrifying things. Today, the wisdom of this world is ready to bring forth

7


8/10

reasons for you to hate and to scorn. Today, the wisdom of this world desiresto work sin and iniquity. Today, the wisdom of this world is ready to bring youinto confusion. Today, the wisdom of this world is ready to judge, to accuse, tofind fault with, and to condemn others. Today, the wisdom of this world isready to fill the thoughts of your heart with doubts and unbelief. Today, the

wisdom of this world is ready to overflow your thoughts with anxiety andimpatience, as well as any other thought that brings unrest. Today, thewisdom of the world is ready to entice you to walk in the way that seems right;the way that only ends in death and destruction. Today, the wisdom of thisworld, being allied with Satans lies, is ready to deceive you, to lead youastray, to turn you away from the my presence. Today, the wisdom of thisworld is ready to alienate you from life. Today, the wisdom of this world isready to glorify and exalt self. Do you not believe that I am sovereign overthis earthy, lusty, and devilish wisdom? Have I not asked you to allow for meto show you my judgment of this great whore? Did I not reveal my judgmentagainst this whorish wisdom when I declared through my prophet Isaiah

(29:14), Behold, I will do a marvelous work; a marvelous work and a wonder.I will destroy the wisdom and the wise and bring to nothing the understandingof the prudent. Do you not believe that out of my love for you that I would notdestroy for you this wisdom that comes forth only to bring death, separation,and misery upon you? I love you.

Revelation 17:1 And there came one of the seven angels which had theseven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come here; I will show untoyou the judgment of the great whore that sits upon many waters.18:4-8And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her my peopleso that you be not partakers of her sins, and that you receive not of herplagues; for her sins have reached unto heaven, and God has rememberedher iniquities. Reward her even as she rewarded you, and double unto herdouble according to her works: in the cup which she has filled fill to herdouble. How much she has glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so muchtorment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and amno widow, and shall see no sorrow. Therefore shall her plagues come in oneday, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned withfire: for strong is the Lord God who judges her.

I Corinthians 1:18 For the message of the cross (daily cross) is foolishness

to them who are perishing, but unto us who are being saved, it is the power ofGod. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and bring tonothing the understanding of the prudent.

Matthew 25:1-2 Jesus said, The kingdom of heaven is like ten virgins whichtook their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of themwere wise, and five were foolish.

It is now about the fifth morning since the Lord gave me this vision, and everymorning since then the Lord has allowed for me to ask for his wisdom withinjust a minute or two after my awakening, crying out, Lord, desire your life

today; and he came instantly. But this morning when I awoke, I realized that Idid not feel like there was any presence of the wisdom of this world trying to

8


9/10

take me away, but neither did I feel like there was any presence of the Lordwith me either. Even though I did not have any thoughts pressing into me, Istill called out on the Lord, asking for his wisdom; and almost immediately Ifelt the Lords presence come upon me as well as affection for the Lord andall things that pertain to the Lord. Glory be to our God for his faithfulness and

love.

Then the Lord gave me a vision and I saw in highway that seemed tobe weaving itself up a mountain. In the middle of this highway, I saw anold style suitcase that seemed to be at least 30 or 40 years oldbecause it was covered in a real fine burlap. I discerned that thissuitcase had been much used because there were a several places onit that seemed to be worn out; worn out similar to how a pair of jeanswill wear out in the knees.

I was considering what this suitcase represented when the Lord spoke to me

and said, You have my treasure in earthen vessels.I knew that the treasurewas the Lords wisdom and that the earthen vessel was this old suitcase; orrather, this old body of death. Then the Lord said, Though the world sees thatwhich is old and worn, I see that which is within. I see that by reason of mywisdom within you, you have walked the highway that I have set before you.This highway, though it has many twists and turns to is, represents the straitand narrow path that all who desire life must journey on; it is the one thatleads to life. This is the highway that you have journeyed on as you havesought for life; the life that comes to all those who desire to know me. Thereason that I have used this old suitcase to represent your earthen vessel isbecause it shows that by reason of my wisdom within you, you have beenwilling to journey as you have followed after me. Regardless of where mySpirit has led, you have followed me. Truly, that which a man treasures arethose things which his heart highly esteems and values.

Romans 11:33-36 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom andknowledge of God! How unsearchable are his judgments and his ways pastfinding out! For who has known the mind of the Lord?

II Corinthians 4:6-7 For God, who commanded the light to shine out ofdarkness, has shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the

glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ; and we have this treasure inearthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, andnot of us.

I am the life that is the hidden treasure in your heart. My wisdom loves meand delights in doing my will; and I know that you have sought for my wisdombecause of your desire to love me and to do my will. I know that you haveloved me because you have laid down the treasures that are of this world; thewisdom that only has affections and desires for self. I am the wisdom thatloves our heavenly Father, and I have no desire within me to go a whoringafter the treasures of this world. Out of affection, I am always mindful of those

things which please our heavenly Father. Our Father has made me to be

9

wisdom for you so that you also may be made to be partakers of the love thatour heavenly Father has for you.

Again, I have made you free so that you are now free to make your ownchoice: either choose this day to be the Beauty or choose to be the Beast.
