VISION: NATHANIELS IN AMERICA
6th January 2008
I shared this very briefly on the TRUNEWS RADIO interview, 2nd January 2008.

I saw this vision many months ago. I e-mailed it briefly to a friend in America on the 4th of October 2007, but I feel sure that I had seen it a while before that.
Vision:
I saw some men and women in America, going about their daily work.
These were like Nathaniel, very forthright and clear. These were people without guile.
They spoke boldly, in love and did not mince their words, or waste time in 'polite-ese'.
Though these Nathaniels lived in America, whenever they confronted people with the truth, they would invariably receive the same quizzical look and response, " You're not American are you? You don't sound American at all," they said this to those whose accents were American!
The Nathaniels challenged people's thinking, their views and opinions, and asked how what they said lined up with the truth, as the facts spoke otherwise. They did not argue for the sake of arguing, but when people they met spoke things of which it was evident the people knew little or nothing about, or had been deceived or misinformed about situations/public policies/events etc, these Nathaniels would in no uncertain terms step in with the truth, even if the truth sounded 'unamerican'.
These without guile were a strange breed and many in the nation thought them to be 'foreigners'.
These Nathaniels, because they spoke forthrightly, became as ' foreigners' in their own land.
They won no prizes from the people for speaking the truth, instead they found people giving them odd looks, as if these truth-speakers were from another planet. If they spoke against what was happening in the 'church', they were termed legalists and pharisees or as those with a 'screw loose', and when they challenged what was happening in the nation they were termed traitors.
