Dutch Sheets and Gina Gholston: Without Delay
Mar 27, 2026
Introduction from Dutch Sheets: Early Friday morning, February 27, 2026, the day before the war in Iran began, the Lord gave our friend, Gina Gholston, a fascinating, encouraging, and important dream. She actually sent it to me that Friday. She is a trusted prophet, teacher, and author. Her dream speaks of the impact our prayers are having and of strategic changes they are producing. Our appeals are accomplishing much. Here is the dream. A Dream of Prayers and Intercession and an Angel Saying, "Without Delay"!
"When we approached him, he extended to us a solid red card, maybe 12 x 12 inches. Written in white letters on the red card were the words 'prayers and intercession.' I reached out my left hand (palm facing upward), and he placed the card on my palm. I then placed my right hand (palm down) across the top of the card. I held the card in the same position as the man led us up a long, solid-white stairway. (Photo of Gina Gholston) "At the top of the stairway, we came to another long hallway extending as far as the eye could see, with doors on both sides of the entire length of the hallway. Once again, everything was white. In the center of the floor, just a few feet in front of us, was a box-like pedestal, maybe three feet tall. "Standing next to the pedestal was another man dressed completely in white. I walked up to the pedestal, and the man motioned for me to insert the red card into a slot located at the top. I put the card into the box, and all the doors instantly opened. People came through some of the open doors, and things I couldn't clearly see came out of other open doors. I am not sure what these 'things' were. "The man then said to us, 'Intercession has gone to another level, and your fervent prayers and intercession are unlocking things and people, replacements and additions. Now, without delay, people and things will be replaced, and people and things will be added for the fulfillment of purposes God has set for this time.' "After he spoke those words, other angels immediately came and removed the people and things, taking them to their rightful positions.

The men dressed in white are angels, sent to instruct and assist us. And the color red symbolizes the blood of Jesus, which produces redemption and purity. The words in white ("prayers and intercession") on the red card indicate that our prayers are releasing the cleansing, redeeming, transforming power of Christ's blood. Isaiah 1:18 tells us, "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" (KJV). Going to the second floor indicates that our prayers have matured to another level, as the angel confirmed, opening doors and creating the changes about to occur. The coming changes have to do with people and things. Gina was intentionally given no hint of what these "things" might be. They are most likely events or circumstances; we often hear the phrase "Things are about to change." The angel stated that people and things are about to be removed and replaced, then added the words "without delay." He then assured us that God's purposes would be accomplished. The heavenly messenger then repeated, as if to emphasize it, that this would begin "without delay," adding that we were not to mourn what is replaced or reject what is added. "God is at work," he assured us. The dream is clear and very encouraging: Our prayers are being used by God to create great change; it will happen quickly; we are not to fear it or reject it; and the purposes of God are being accomplished. There is no doubt in my mind that some of this refers to what is occurring in the Middle East.
Your Prayers and the Golden Bowls of Incense As I end today's post, I remind you that the book of Revelation tells us our prayers are stored in golden bowls in Heaven (Revelation 5:8). They are precious to the Lord and create a pleasant fragrance before Him. At the appropriate time, God pours them onto the earth where they release His great power. "And another angel came and stood at the altar, having a golden censer; and there was given unto him much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. "And the smoke of the incense, which came with the prayers of the saints, ascended up before God out of the angel's hand. "And the angel took the censer, and filled it with fire of the altar, and cast it into the earth: and there were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an earthquake." (Revelation 8:3–5 KJV) We are partnering with God... to change things on earth. Pray with me: Father, I thank You for the amazing army of intercessors You have raised up around the world. This company of Kingdom-minded individuals is being used by You to establish Your purposes on the earth. Thank You for their pure hearts and motives, pictured by the white colors in this dream. Encourage and strengthen them today. Let them know how much You appreciate them. We also thank You for the angels who assist us. Thank You for dispatching them to give us messages and carry out Your assignments. We know there are millions of prayers stored in the golden bowls in Heaven, bringing a sweet fragrance to You. This dream tells us You are now pouring out some of those prayers to bring about great change. We will do as You said and not reject or mourn the changes. We trust You. Bring forth Your purposes throughout the earth. And bring forth the great harvest of souls. We appeal to You for these things in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Our decree: We will continue to fill the bowls of prayer in Heaven, ensuring that God has the cooperation He needs from us. (Today's post was contributed by Gina Gholston.

"I dreamed that I was with a large group of people inside a building, walking down a long hallway. Everything in this hallway—floors, ceiling, walls, etc.—was solid white. At the end of the hallway was a man waiting for us, dressed totally in white, even wearing white gloves. 
"The man in white then said again, 'Without delay.' Then he added, 'Do not mourn what is replaced, and do not reject what is added. God is at work! He has worked to guide you in your prayers and intercession, and He will work to carry out His intended fulfillment of the prayers and intercession.'"
Keep praying in faith, friends, with the assurance that our appeals are not in vain. The effectual, fervent prayers of the righteous avail much (James 5:16)! Remember that our prayers are not frantic efforts to persuade God to move. Rather, they are responses to His promptings and leadings, partnering with Him to accomplish His desires. The angel in the dream actually emphasized that God has been guiding us in our intercession. (Photo via Pxfuel)
