[Please note, this was originally written on December 10, 1997 on an old software program: FrontPage. Some of today’s fonts (in Word Press) did not come out uniform; and some of the links will still take one to the archived works; and some links will not (hopefully in time this will no longer be the case). I have not had the time to upload all of the linked pages. The important thing is that this beautiful Vision and Prophetic Word by God, which is manifesting today, is available once more for His Children.
I want to make you aware that this “Sharon” is a Spiritual place, and has begun to manifest in the physical. The Biblical verses referred to below are spiritual and physical also. God is saying that He is preparing us NOW (in 1997) to enter into the Spiritual “Sharon”, the new Spiritual Promised Land; and that the “latter rain SHOWER” has begun.
Be sure and read the verses below. I had no idea why God insisted that I call this message the “Roses Of Sharon” until I began to research it with scripture. Without the scriptures we will miss the true Blessing(s) the Lord is PROMISING in this message. It is “showering”!! Hallelujah!]
ROSES OF SHARON PROPHECY:
As a (1)rose opens and blooms, now is the space marked in time for Mine to blossom, saith the Lord. The latter day rain begins with a shower and ends in a torrent, saith the Lord. Only the strongest of the flowers stand in a torrent of rain, and this is why only the strongest of plants stand/have been planted for this season.
I AM the master gardener who is/has both planted and groomed My plants, saith the Lord. They have been bred/cross bred for strength. I have planted them in the living soil, My Word; and watered them with Life’s force: My Spirit who is Holy. My Son Jesus Christ is the gardener; and all who are in Him are of Me and are Mine. This generation of plants has been saved for the last, and many generations of growth have gone into their strength (preparation time). These plants come from sturdy stock; they are plants that WILL STAND when the torrent begins. The latter day rain is like no other rain. It would destroy less than the most hardy.
The roots of this plant are the Son of God, and all shoots are from the one plant. Nothing grows in this garden, at the end, but those who will stand in the torrent. All tender baby plants have been removed. Only the hardiest of all My plants/vines are left, saith the Lord.
A new rain falls upon My plants of preparation: a rain, as no other rain.
ROSES OF SHARON VISION:
I, Chris, saw “THIS RAIN” mix with the soil {God’s Word}, and as both are sucked through the roots into the blossoming buds, (2)light is produced from the plants themselves. The rain itself is LIGHT. It is a “new” rain: a wet, very wet, REFRESHING LIGHT. Each drop is a stream/beam, tiny beam of light falling as rain. The smell in the garden is immense, and causes God GREAT pleasure. It is a smell of roses (a massive rose smell) mixed with refreshing, life giving, moisture, Amen. As the petals open they reflect God’s light until the individual flowers themselves are barely seen for the intense light. This garden actually sparks/sends sparks of life elsewhere, and other gardens begin and go through the same process Amen.
[God asks, “What else do you see”]
I see water and light become one in this garden.
[God says, “What else”]
[Chris] “Definite reproduction at the root level where the new shoots, from the same vine, emerge from the Blessed soil.”
[God says “And”]
[Chris] “New blossoms almost immediately as the new shoots rise. They grow ever so quickly, Lord.”
[God says, “The Latter Day Rain is Life itself, Amen. Life in every/all form in nature. It is Me expressed, Amen Amen and again Amen. Begin to see it; begin to expect it. Even now the shower is refreshing My most sturdy and hardiest of plants in My Son/My Garden, Amen.”]
(I GOT UP AND TOOK A SHOWER, THINKING THIS VISION/CONVERSATION WAS OVER. MUCH TO MY SURPRISE, AS I WAS SHOWERING [about 15 minutes later), THE VISION CONTINUED)
[God says:]
The petals on each flower are the reaching hands of My Beloveds, saith the Lord. They are reaching up to Me in Love, Chris.
[I again see:]
There is dew on the petals of the flowers, and even though it is raining I know that these drops are different. They are alive and iridescent with light/life [multicolored life]. The Lord tells me that there is life in these drops, and that they are the tears brought by each flower’s suffering [Fire Baptism]; these are the drops from which the “flashes of fire”, or “sparks of fire” come. Each tear produces a “spark” of fire that ignites another Rose garden in Christ’s Name. These tears are tears produced in the Glory of God, and they manifest Him and His Glory, Amen.
Each plant begins to glow. As the glow intensifies, all light becomes one and consumes all in/into it’s light. The flowers are actually singing for the Joy in this new life/light, Amen. All death is burned from these flowers. Nothing grows on these plants but the light which continues to intensify. Everything that might infect or harm these most precious of plants is burned away in His Glorious Light as the plants are consumed into Him, Amen.

(1) “rose opens and blooms”:
ROSES Of Sharon:
Sharon Is Like A (1h)Wilderness At First:
(Isa 33:1-24) “Woe to you who plunder, though you have not been plundered; and you who deal treacherously, though they have not dealt treacherously with you! When you cease plundering, you will be plundered; when you make an end of dealing treacherously, they will deal treacherously with you. O LORD, be gracious to us {Israel; Christians}; we have waited for You. Be their arm every morning, our Salvation also in the time of trouble. At the noise of the tumult the people shall flee; when You lift Yourself up, the nations shall be scattered; And Your plunder shall be gathered like the gathering of the caterpillar; as the running to and fro of locusts, he shall run upon them {see Rev 9:1-11} . The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; he HAS FILLED ZION {God’s Spiritual Kingdom, Spiritual Church/Congregation, Spiritual Wife/Bride, the Heavenly Jerusalem (Heb 12:22; Rev 14:1; Sion/Zion [Nelson’s]} with justice and righteousness. Wisdom and knowledge will be the stability of your times, and the strength of Salvation; the fear of the LORD is His treasure. Surely their valiant ones shall cry outside, the ambassadors of peace shall weep bitterly. The highways lie waste, the traveling man ceases. He has broken the covenant, he has despised the cities, he regards no man. The earth mourns and languishes, (1c)Lebanon is shamed and shriveled; SHARON IS LIKE A (1h)WILDERNESS, and Bashan and Carmel shake off their fruits.
Taken from “God’s Latest Prophetic Word”; Chris Williams {Web} Ministry; August 2007 [no longer available]:
Jesus said that I/we were leaving the dessert/wilderness… He said now we will begin our 3 year ministry…”
[UPDATE 2011: In the Revelation, “January 16, 2007; 3 ½ Years Are … The Final Harvest As You Know It”(Revealed Knowledge)” God said,” He had completed the foundation of the remnant/offspring spoken of in Revelations 12. God has confirmed that this is why He gave His people/Wife the 3 ½ years spoken of in this final harvest AS WE KNOW IT. This is the same 3 ½ years God spoke/wrote about through the Apostle John in Revelations 12.
Sometime between 2008-2009 God told me that some of His people {offspring/remnant} began leaving the (1h)“wilderness”; the main portion left in mid-2010.
Then Sharon Blooms:
{Isaiah continues} “Now I will rise,” says the LORD; “Now I will be exalted, now I will lift Myself up. You shall conceive chaff, you shall bring forth stubble; your breath, as fire, shall devour you. And the people shall be like the burnings of lime; like thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire. Hear, you who are afar off, what I have done; and you who are near, acknowledge My might.” The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness has seized the hypocrites: “Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?”
He who walks righteously and speaks uprightly, he who despises the gain of oppressions, who gestures with his hands, refusing bribes, who stops his ears from hearing of bloodshed, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil: HE WILL DWELL ON HIGH; (1a)HIS PLACE OF DEFENSE WILL BE THE FORTRESS OF ROCKS; BREAD WILL BE GIVEN HIM, HIS WATER WILL BE SURE. YOUR EYES WILL SEE THE KING IN HIS BEAUTY; THEY WILL SEE THE LAND THAT IS VERY FAR OFF.
Your heart will meditate on terror: “Where is the scribe {writer of God’s Word; writer for God}? Where is he who weighs? Where is he who counts the (1b)towers?” You will not see a fierce people, a people of obscure speech, beyond perception, of a stammering tongue that you cannot understand. LOOK UPON ZION, THE CITY OF OUR APPOINTED FEASTS {including the Wedding Feast}; YOUR EYES WILL SEE {New, Heavenly} (1b)JERUSALEM, A QUIET HOME, A TABERNACLE {Temple} THAT WILL NOT BE TAKEN DOWN; NOT ONE OF ITS STAKES WILL EVER BE REMOVED, NOR WILL ANY OF ITS CORDS BE BROKEN. But there the majestic LORD will be for us a place of broad rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars will sail, nor majestic ships pass by (For the LORD is our Judge, the LORD is our Lawgiver, the LORD is our King; He will save us); Your tackle is loosed, they could not strengthen their mast, they could not spread the sail. Then the prey of great plunder is divided {also Isa 53:12; Matt 25:31-46}; the lame take the prey. And the inhabitant will not say, “I am sick”; the people who dwell in it {(1dNew Jerusalem; Zion} will be forgiven their iniquity. (NKJ)
(1a) “HIS PLACE OF DEFENSE WILL BE THE FORTRESS OF ROCKS; BREAD WILL BE GIVEN HIM, HIS WATER WILL BE SURE. YOUR EYES WILL SEE THE KING IN HIS BEAUTY; THEY WILL SEE THE LAND THAT IS VERY FAR OFF”:
[1 Peter 2:4-6] COMING TO HIM AS TO A LIVING STONE, REJECTED INDEED BY MEN, BUT CHOSEN BY GOD AND PRECIOUS, YOU ALSO, AS LIVING STONES , ARE BEING BUILT UP A SPIRITUAL HOUSE, A HOLY PRIESTHOOD, TO OFFER UP SPIRITUAL SACRIFICES ACCEPTABLE TO GOD THROUGH JESUS CHRIST. Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, “Behold, I lay in Zion {new Heavenly Jerusalem} a Chief Cornerstone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.” NKJV
( 1b) “YOUR EYES WILL SEE {New, Heavenly} JERUSALEM, A QUIET HOME, A TABERNACLE {Temple} THAT WILL NOT BE TAKEN DOWN; NOT ONE OF ITS STAKES WILL EVER BE REMOVED, NOR WILL ANY OF ITS CORDS BE BROKEN”:
[Rev 21:22-27] But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its Temple {Tabernacle}. The city {new Heavenly Jerusalem} had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light. And the nations of those who are saved shall walk in its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory and honor into it. Its gates shall not be shut at all by day (there shall be no night there). And they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it. But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life. NKJV
(1b) “towers”: “A tall building erected for defense. Some landowners used towers to protect their crops (Isa 5:2; Matt 21:33; Mark 12:1). In the (1h)wilderness, towers were used to watch for approaching marauders (2 Kings 17:9; 2 Chron 26:10). In cities towers were part of the walls built for defensive purposes (2 Chron 14:7; Neh 3:1). They were erected at the corners of the wall, beside the city gates, and at intervals along the walls (2 Chron 26:9). Watchmen secured the towers (2 Kings 9:17), and military machines which threw arrows and stones could be mounted on the massive structures (2 Chron 26:15). The defensive nature of a tower led naturally to figurative references in the Bible. God is pictured as a high, strong tower sheltering His people from the enemy (Ps 61:3; 144:2; Prov 18:10).” (from Nelson’s Illustrated Bible Dictionary)
(Isa 65:9-19) I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and from Judah those who will possess my mountains; my chosen people will inherit them, and there will my servants live. SHARON WILL BECOME A PASTURE FOR FLOCKS {we are flocks of sheep}, and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds, for my people who seek me.
“But as for you who forsake the LORD and forget my holy mountain, who spread a table for Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny, I will destine you for the sword, and you will all bend down for the slaughter; FOR I CALLED BUT YOU DID NOT ANSWER, I SPOKE BUT YOU DID NOT LISTEN. You did evil in my sight and chose what displeases me.” Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says: “My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; my servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; my servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame. My servants will sing out of the joy of their hearts, but you will cry out from anguish of heart and wail in brokenness of spirit. You will leave your name to my chosen ones as a curse; the Sovereign LORD will put you to death, but to his servants he will give another name {we are in Christ’s name: Jn 20:31; Acts 4:12; Rev 2:17; Rev 3:12}.
Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the GOD OF TRUTH; he who takes an oath in the land will swear by the GOD OF TRUTH. For the past troubles will be forgotten and hidden from my eyes. “Behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind. But be glad and rejoice forever in what I will create, for I will create {New} Jerusalem to be a delight and its people a joy. I will rejoice over {New} Jerusalem and take delight in my people; the sound of weeping and of crying will be heard in it no more {also see Rev 21:1- 8}.
SHARON BLOSSOMS AS A ROSE:
(Song 1:1) “The song of songs, which is Solomon’s. Let Him {Christ; God} kiss me with the kisses of His mouth: for thy {God’s} love is better than wine. I AM A ROSE OF SHARON, A LILY OF THE VALLEYS. (NIV)
(Isa 35:1-10) “The (1h)wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, and THE DESERT {WILDERNESS} SHALL REJOICE AND BLOSSOM AS THE ROSE; IT SHALL BLOSSOM ABUNDANTLY AND REJOICE, EVEN WITH JOY AND SINGING. The (1c)glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the LORD, the excellency of our God. Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are fearful-hearted, “Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; he will come and save you.
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing. FOR WATERS SHALL BURST FORTH IN THE (1h)WILDERNESS, AND STREAMS IN THE DESERT. THE PARCHED GROUND SHALL BECOME A POOL, AND THE THIRSTY LAND SPRINGS OF WATER; in the habitation of jackals, where each lay, there shall be grass with reeds and rushes. A highway shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, shall not go astray. No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it; it shall not be found there. But THE REDEEMED SHALL WALK THERE, AND THE RANSOMED OF THE LORD SHALL RETURN, AND COME TO ZION WITH SINGING, WITH EVERLASTING JOY ON THEIR HEADS. THEY SHALL OBTAIN JOY AND GLADNESS, AND SORROW AND SIGHING SHALL FLEE AWAY.” (NKJ)
(1c) “Lebanon; glory of Lebanon”: “…Lebanon is used to symbolize that which is great, strong, beautiful…” (from The New Unger’s Bible Dictionary…)
(1d) “New Jerusalem; Zion (Wife/Bride/Spiritual Church)”:
[Gal 4:21-31] Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 23 But HE WHO WAS OF THE BONDWOMAN WAS BORN ACCORDING TO THE FLESH, and he OF THE FREEWOMAN THROUGH PROMISE, 24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar — 25 for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children{offspring} — 26 BUT THE {new} JERUSALEM ABOVE IS FREE, WHICH IS THE MOTHER OF US ALL. 27 For it is written:
“Rejoice, O barren, you who do not bear! BREAK FORTH AND SHOUT, YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR{See Rev 12:17}! For the desolate has many more children THAN SHE WHO HAS A {Christ/God}.” 28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, ARE CHILDREN {offspring} OF PROMISE <Acts 2:33; Gal 3:14; Eph 1:13-14>. 29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted HIM WHO WAS BORN ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT, even so it is now. 30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? “Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for THE SON OF THE BONDWOMAN SHALL NOT BE HEIR WITH THE SON OF THE FREEWOMAN.” 31 So then, brethren, WE ARE NOT CHILDREN {OFFSPRING} OF THE BONDWOMAN BUT OF THE FREE {Spirit; vs 29, above}. NKJV
(1h) “Wilderness”: Early in 2012, before April, God taught me that it is as He changes His people back into His image, from our fallen image, we are literally TRANSFORMED / CHANGED from the dry WILDERNESS INTO THE SPIRITUAL PROMISED LAND – WITHIN OUR HEARTS.
You may want to read all of Revelation 12 (complete Chapter in the Bible)
(2) “light is produced (from the plants themselves)”: You may want to read February 11, 2007 “Repetitive Vision With Jesus & Chris Walking“.
For example, in the Vision February 11, 2007 “Repetitive Vision With Jesus & Chris Walking“ we are shown the Bride’s assent into heaven with Her Groom, as Jesus and I left the physical and walked up the hill towards New Jerusalem. My/our eternal life, the Tree of Life, moved to either side of our walkway, from right to left and vise versa. In these visions, we saw Jesus go from Groom to Husband, and His Bride, New Jerusalem became His Wife. We saw the “Tree of Life” position Himself in the middle of New Jerusalem, His Wife; while New Jerusalem became a golden wedding ring. A covenant of completion became apparent.
