Last Sunday, as we prayed together, the Lord gave us some visions. There is one in particular I am fascinated by. That is the tuning fork.
I think brother John Cochran and Tim Pinson saw it at the same time. What Tim saw is the fork was transformed into a signet ring then into a golden crown. The Lord told John that brother Ben will have the understanding, which is an amazing one.
Brother John Cochran and sister Rachael Pinson saw a golden crown as well. She also saw a wooden door was burst open and great light flooded into a room where she was in.
Allow me to post in their stead of what is shared concerning this time of visions.
Visions Seen 5/15/2016
From Brother John Cochran
As we were praying today in our fellowship meeting I saw two visions:
- A tuning fork. I asked the Lord show it to me a second time to insure that what I saw was correct. It was shown to me again to confirm. Ben can expound a bit on the meaning of the tuning fork.
- Face of a golden lion that was alive. I saw it’s face moving slightly.
Vision of a spiral and thoughts on a tuning fork
From brother Ben Lowe
On May 15th while praying together during our Sunday teaching time, I had a vision. I saw a spiral or coil that was primarily white, but was edged in gold. It was not a particular material or common object, but seemed to exist to reveal or show a picture of something. It was a very simple picture, not with a lot of detail, but very clear.
John (and Tim too?) saw a tuning fork. I was struck by the nature of a tuning fork. It is a simple, usually two-pronged metal “fork” that is struck to produce a pure and unwavering tone. The pitch of the tuning fork will not and cannot change. This tone, or pitch, can then be used to tune other instruments. If you use a singular tuning fork, and you tune each instrument, in say, an orchestra to it, then each instrument will be perfectly in tune because they will all be in tune to this standard pitch. Indeed it is a standard. Conversely, if the brass section tunes to the piano, and the strings then tune to the brass, and then the woodwinds tune to the strings, there is a very strong likelihood that the ending pitch of the woodwinds may have slowly gotten away from being in tune with the piano. You cannot tune relatively like this if you want the entirety of the orchestra to be in tune. You must establish and adhere to a specific standard, in this case, a tuning fork.
A similar expression of this idea would be a plumb line for building. You only need one plumb line and you can make sure the walls of a building are all perfectly straight as long as they follow that plumb line exactly. If you start measuring things relatively to one another, things can get off by small degrees that will end up being quite a bit in the end.
The spiritual implications of both of these illustrations are quite striking. The result of a correct usage of the standard means straight walls and beautiful music. The result of incorrect usage results in crooked and uneven buildings, and out of tune music that sounds poor to the ear.
From brother Tim Pinson:
Vision Sunday 5/15/16
Ben was describing a vision about the tuning fork and I saw something similar or in parallel with it.
I saw three prongs rather than two and on the middle prong was a brilliant jewel. It then became a sword with the jewel in the center and the prongs on the side were the guards.
It then became a scepter on which the stone was just above the handle. A golden scepter… It was also like a ring on a finger.
It then became a golden crown with the jewel in the center.
Here the vision ended.
A few days later, I saw another vision.
I saw a man with beautiful long curly hair and understood the words “Hairy was an aura around the head of the man, like the presence of God” and then I saw a crown on his head.
At the same moment, I saw this man with the crown on his head kneeling on the ground with his hands raised and he had others holding his hands and pulling him up to stand. He had a huge smile on his face to be “accepted” or concentrated and raised up…. It was a joy to him to receive what was given or put on him.
