Bellwether

4-14-'08 In a sudden vision; I was shown a bell -- A bell on one of those buoy floats in the water (sea), and I could hear this bell ringing as the buoy swayed in those choppy waters I was seeing. I then heard this one word,

"bellwether".

I wasn't sure what this word bellwether meant, and so later I looked it up in an online dictionary:
Middle English, leading sheep of a flock, leader, from belle bell + wether; from the practice of belling the leader of a flock -- from the 13th century;
bellwether = one that takes the lead or initiative : leader; also : an indicator of trends

Jesus Christ our Lord, is our Chief 'Bellwether' -- He is our Shepherd and Leader. He alone has

given and gifted into His Body bell-sheep whom wear a spiritual bell, as it were -- they ring the true sound of direction: even as a bellwether leader-sheep.

Now wait, wait -- I feel impressed of the Lord to add this: a bellwether signpost-person may not alone be the person you and I are thinking of 'first-off' as 'leader'. Some bellwether-persons you and I should note carefully may be humble servants, even an unnoticed till now intercessor, a brother or sister fellow laborer in Christ, one's of varying gifts and ministries; One's whom are becoming fruitful sign[post]'s and are found as, '...a wonder to many...'. As David spoke of himself. - Ps. 71:7

We believers need to be listening and heeding into safe directions. Do we know Jesus' indicators, the signs and wonders and direction of our times, of our own lives,, now?

In the vast sea of humanity, even in choppy stirred up sea-waters, as in this brief vision I was given, there is the clear sound of bell's ringing direction for our safe passage, our way and walk In Christ. This sound speaks guidance to each believer individually, as well as corporately for HIS' Body, HIS' church in earth.

Look and listen for the bellwether's' ringing, even belwether brothers and sisters In Christ; watch and hear HIS' 'trend' moving, and then in your obedience follow Jesus; HIS' direction of safe passage and success; As we then will touch and affect nations (people's).

the prophecy;
" I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations for Your inheritance." - Ps. 2:7,8

prayer;
"For You are my rock and my fortress;Therefore, for Your name's sake, Lead me and guide me." - Ps. 31:3
