Straight away I was given a picture of Australia full of sheep. I mean it was just an overview of Australia absolutely full of sheep. Then the picture zoomed in and I was at an Australian sheep station. Jesus was there and He was standing in front of a very large mob of sheep. He at first whistled to them, then I saw Him calling to the sheep and beckoning to them - but I couldn't understand what He was saying. I also noticed an Australian sheep dog running across the backs of the sheep, and behind them, helping Jesus round them up as sheep dogs do. (I believe this was symbolic of the Holy Spirit).

The sheep were all facing Jesus and looking at Him, but nothing seemed to be happening. The Spirit said to me "look closer". I then saw many black sheep in amongst the mob, and individually they started moving out as Jesus called and stood beside Him.

The scene then changed and I saw Jesus in a fenced yard pouring a liquid over these black sheep who had moved out of the larger mob. I thought "Oh, Jesus is washing the sheep with water." Again the Spirit said "look closer" and I saw that it was not water but a red liquid Jesus was pouring over the sheep - I knew it was His Blood. As He poured the Blood over each sheep, they changed from black to white. Even though they changed to white, there were still burrs and crawly things in their fleece. Then I saw that after this each sheep walked to a typical Australian sheep dip, where one by one they were caused to be immersed in a deep trench of water and come out the other side. The Spirit said to me "this is the washing of water by the word." I noticed that after the sheep went through the water all the burrs and lice etc, were gone and their fleece shone brilliantly white. These sheep were then separated off into a separate flock.

Then I was taken back to the scene of the large mob of sheep. Jesus was again standing in front of them, but He had stopped calling, He was just watching. I saw wolves move in on these sheep. They attacked the flock, ripping and tearing at them - many were killed, many were left wounded and bleeding. The wolves were doing what they wanted - there was none to stop them. I cried out to Jesus and said "Lord, do something - these are your sheep! Why aren't you doing something? Aren't they all your sheep?" Then I heard the words "they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto death."

He again showed me the smaller flock which had been separated. They were grazing in a separate fenced paddock where the pasture was green and lush and rich. They were feeding on this pasture, and all around the outside of the fence there were large angels with drawn swords. Then Jesus said to me "This is My flock - the sheep who are being attacked are those who refused to respond to My Voice when I called. These are the sheep who recognized My Voice and responded to it. I am separating the sheep from the sheep."

He then told me He was presently visiting every church and assembly of believers across Australia - every single one where His Name was named, and He was calling His sheep. I saw Jesus standing at the door of a church - I have no idea where - calling the people. Certain individuals got up and came to Him. He was not calling them out of the church - He was looking for a response. I knew this was happening in every church He visited. He then said those who knew His Voice and responded to it would be His next generation church in Australia. He said they were His true flock.

At this point I said to the Lord "Lord, I know you said you would separate the sheep from the goats, but I am not sure about separation of sheep from sheep. (I was feeling the seriousness of what He was showing me).

I asked Him to give me Scripture so I could understand and believe this was Him. He told me to go and read again John 10:1-16. He also led me to Ezekiel 34:11-24. Then He said "Speak it" ... and that is where the vision ended. I then went to the above scriptures and felt the Holy Spirit was specifically emphasizing the following scriptures:

John 10:3 "He calls His own sheep by name and leads them out."

John 10:14 "I know the sheep, and am known by My own."

John 10:16"...there will be one flock and one shepherd."

Ezekiel 34:11 "Indeed I myself will search for My sheep and seek them out."

Ezekiel 34:20 "Therefore this is what the Sovereign LORD says to them: See, I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep."

Ezekiel 34:22 "therefore I will save My flock, and they shall no longer be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep."
