AUSTRALIA THE CHARIOT OF THE LORD IS COMING

I saw the chariot of the Lord heading towards Australia, I saw the Chariot coming from the ocean on top of Australia heading and moving through our nation. I saw the THUNDER AND LIGHTENING and the noise of The Chariot and the Thunder was so LOUD.

I saw that wherever the LIGHTENING went it sparked FIRES, and the FIRES began to become greater. I felt that the Lord said “AUSTRALIA IS GOING TO BE A BURNING BUSH”

He said tell my people to get ready for as this chariot comes into the Nation it will cause not only fires but ripples, these lightening strikes will cause the Prophets to arise and proclaim the WORD of the LORD. The Chariot was so bright, the light that came from it was so bright, I could not even look at it. You could not see the Lords face because of the brightness of the Light that proceeded from this chariot. The Thunder and lightening was proceeding from the very center and they were all around it.

I did a short study on several words, to my amazement again, here is the Lord confirming the vision-

CHARIOT

Chariot in Hebrew- 4818,A Chariot 4817; A seat, a covering, A SADDLE. 7392 Hebrew; to ride n an animal or a vehicle, to place upon to ride, to dispatch, to bring on ( horse) , carry, to get one self up, on horse back.
7393; a team,a rider, the upper millstone,multitude, 7395; A charioteer, :- a Chariot man, driver of a chariot,horseman.

THUNDER

Hebrew; 6963, To call aloud, a voice or a sound:- bleating, crackling, cry out, fame, lightness, +hold peace, proclaim, proclamation, sing, sound, spark, thundering voice.

LIGHTENING

For His arrow shall go forth like lightening Zec 9.14
His face was as the appearance as Lightening Mat 28.3
They shall run like lightening Nah 2.4
There were lightening, and voices Rev 11.19

Hebrew ;1300; A flashing sword, :- Bright, glitter,(ing sword) 2385; to glare, a flash of lightening

So as this chariot comes into our lives and into the Nation we will see the flashing SWORD start to be released. In the book of Genesis, there were the cherubim in the garden protecting the east of the garden of Eden with a flaming sword which turned every way, to guard the tree of life.Gen 3.23.24

LIFE

Hebrew 2416; fresh life, fresh, plant, company, congregation LIVING CREATURES, THING, merry, multitude. 5315; a breathing creature,animal:- beast, man, me, mind,measure, own,person, self.

I started to see something here. The Lord actually placed the four living creatures here in the garden with their flaming swords to protect it. He drove out man and ensured that the four living creatures were protecting the tree of life.

I believe just as a few have had this revelation, that the covering will be in amongst those four living creatures. Their wings will surround us and protect us in a greater way. Boundaries were put in place at this point in the garden. I Believe this will also cause boundaries in a greater way to be established in our lives. God wants to protect what is sacred to him and bring us back in to the purity of THE GARDEN and drive out anything that is ungodly.

In the book of Ezekiel, the Lord takes Ezekiel to the bank of the river, 47.6. There he saw many trees on each side of the river. An interesting picture, as I looked back in th book of Revelation 22. In Ezekiel 47.8, the water flowed towards the eastern region, interestingly, the cherubim were put in the eastern area of the garden. The Lord says to Ezekiel, wherever this water goes every living thing will be healed, the fishermen will stand by it and there will be places for spreading their nets. Ezekiel 12, Along the bank of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food, their leaves will not wither, their fruit will not fail, they will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food and their leaves for medicine.

What a picture, I have never noticed this before. The Lord is showing Ezekiel his end time promise there and then I saw such a parallel between the book of Genesis and the book of revelation where the Lord is talking about his trees. In revelation 22, the Lord shows John a pure river of the water of Life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of God and of the Lamb, in the middle of the street and on either side of the river was the tree of life, ( cherubim), which bore 12 fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

The tribes on the east were – Dan ,Asher,Naphtali, Manasseh,Ephraim, Reuben, Judah.

Here we have seven different people the Lord positions

What came to mind here was where in Revelation the LORD addresses the SEVEN Churches and we also have the SEVEN BRANCHED CANDLESTICK.

In Revelation John hears the “TRUMPET” then he is called to send the message to the seven churches, and then John sees seven golden lamp-stands and then he sees “The Lord”. He had in his right hand seven stars, and out of his mouth went a sharp two edged sword and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. Rev 1.16

The Lord had been speaking to me about the “stars” for over a year. Esther means star and Australia has stars on its flag.

I thought again about how the Lord put the flaming Swords and the “Cherubim/four living creatures” towards the east of the Garden in Gen. The brightness of them would have blinded anything from seeing what was there. Nothing could enter in there.

Just as I saw the chariot entering Australia, I could not see HIS FACE it was so bright with the flashes of light that proceeded from it. My eyes were almost blinded. All I remember was the thunderings, the lightening’s, the brightness and the fire. I saw what also seemed to be a circle of color around the chariot like a rainbow, but it was not clear. I thought that could make sense too, I looked up the word Light in Hebrew, it means :- Worship, the word Color in Hebrew; 5869; an eye, a fountain, countenance, favor, presence.

When we go to the story about MOSES , Exodus 3.2 The angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire from the midst of a bush.The Lord speaks to MOSES in the burning bush, in the fire. He could not look at the Lord once he knew who it was speaking to him. MOSES, was a deliverer, and it also reminded me of Esther, and how she was for her people. He was so upset that the people were oppressed. God says to MOSES ” I AM WHO I AM”.

This is GODS word to AUSTRALIA ” I AM WHO I AM”, MOSES, is speaking to the Lord and then says, ” Suppose they don’t believe me or listen to my voice. Suppose they say the Lord has not appeared to you?”. The Lord then says to MOSES ” What is that in your Hand?” ” A rod” , This is the rod that he has given us to use. It was a rod of authority, also the rod of favor that Esther had before the King to have her people released from oppression. How many times have we felt like this and have asked the same question? There were signs that followed MOSES, and there will be signs that follow us too as we are obedient to the voice of the Lord.

I looked up the meaning of the word BUSH-

BUSH

Hebrew ; 5572, to prick Greek 942; a brier shrub

Dictionary-

THE BRIER PLANT

The brier plant is a tough little tree which the botanists call Erica Arborea, a member of the heather family. It closely resembles a dwarf tree, since it grows to no more than fifteen to twenty feet high.

Found chiefly on the shores of the Mediterranean basin, its development depends on climate and soil. Most plants flourish readily under abundant rainfall and in fertile soil. But the brier wood most suitable for use in meerschaum pipes is that which has to fight for its survival high in the mountainous Mediterranean country. There the soil is barren and rocky, rainfall is sparse, and growing conditions are among the worst in the world. Harsh winds tear at the hardy plant; the rocky soil resists its efforts to grow. But the hardy brier drives its roots into the smallest crevices, forcing the soil or rock apart bit by bit.

In fighting for a foothold in the arid soil so that it can nourish itself and grow, the little shrub develops a tight, hard-grained knob of wood just above its roots. This toughest portion of the plant, the brier burl, makes the brier plant unique in the plant kingdom, at least insofar as brier wood pipe smokers are concerned.

The burl found in most fully-grown brier bushes lies just below the surface of the earth, barely covered with dirt. Neither stem nor root, the burl is the meeting place of the roots which grow downward from it, and the trunk which grows upward from it. In fact, the burl serves as the bier’s shield against an unfriendly environment; it forces an opening in the hard rock or soil above the roots and anchors the plant against the wind that would bend or break it. Only the burl, often erroneously called the brier “root,” is used in making brier wood pipes.

VOICE OF REVIVAL

Our voices will play an important part in this move of the Holy Spirit, our voice is to proclaim the MESSAGE the KING wants us to Proclaim. He wants us to be the “PIPE” the “TRUMPET” and to usher in the “SOUND” of “HIS HEART BEAT”.

We are to stand to proclaim the word to a generation that cant use their voice, we have the authority through our father The God of Abraham,the God of Issac and the God of Jacob!

We have the ability through Grace to deliver his people and share the message he gives us to share. We are the VOICE IN THE WILDERNESS PREPARING THE WAY OF THE LORD!

Bless you,

Alexandra

Hallelujah! I release blessing and shalom to the members of the body. With great pleasure, I share with you what the LORD has been sharing with me at this time.

I believe that within this apostolic move that is now, and is coming will be a people that will manifest the fruits of the spirit and show fourth the light of the LORD to bring glory to the Father. This apostolic people will manifest the praises of the LORD in word (revelation) and in action (lifestyle of power). God is showing us the true meaning of what the highest praise or Hallelujah is.

The word Hallelujah means Praise the LORD, and it is made up of two words, halel (praise) which means to shine or to give light, and jah (LORD) which means the self existing one. Those two words halel and jah form hallelujah which means to shine, or to give the light of the LORD. That’s why hallelujah is the highest praise because it is manifesting the light of the LORD. Hallelujah is not just something we say, but is what we live by demonstration and by revelation that reveals the light of God in the earth so that those who are in darkness will come to that light! By our words and by our actions we are to manifest the light of the LORD.

John said that God is Light and in Him is no darkness at all (1 John 1:5). He said that was the message the early apostles declared, and it will be the same message that the Bride will manifest, “God is light and Him is no darkness.”

Ephesians 5:8-14
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light
9 (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),
10 finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
12 For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret.
13 But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light.
14 Therefore He says: “Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.”
(NKJ)

One thing I realized in this passage was that manifesting the fruit of the spirit is walking in the light. Jesus told the apostles to let their light shine so that men will see their goodness, good works which is good fruit, and glorify the Father in heaven. Meaning, when we manifest the fruit of the spirit it indicates that we are walking in the light.

The word spirit in this scripture is not the Greek word (pheuma) which is used in Galatians 5:22. This word spirit is the Greek word (phos) which is the word light. Very clear, Paul is saying that the result of walking in the light is in manifesting spiritual fruit: goodness, righteousness, truth, love, joy, peace, self control, kindness, faithfulness, longsuffering, gentleness and every characteristic that is pleasing to the LORD.

Since the Garden, spiritual death and resurrection life has always come by fruit (Proverbs 18:21). The fruit of those who walk in the light will bring life to those who see that light and it its fruit (Proverbs 11:30, Revelations 22:2)

Good fruit is characteristics of God Himself. It is God’s nature and that is why it is acceptable to Him for us to manifest them. Therefore, we cannot say that we have fellowship with Him, the Light, and still walk in darkness. (1 John 1:6 and Galatians 5:19-21)

According to the scriptures, the Father sent Yeshua (Jesus) as a light to bring revelation to the Gentiles (those who are darkness, no illumination) see Luke 2:29-32.

Isaiah 9:1-3
1 Nevertheless the gloom will not be upon her who is distressed, as when at first He lightly esteemed the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward more heavily oppressed her, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, in Galilee of the Gentiles.
2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined.
3 You have multiplied the nation and increased its joy; they rejoice before You according to the joy of harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
(NKJ)

Isaiah 42:6-7
6 “I, the LORD, have called You in righteousness, and will hold Your hand; I will keep You and give You as a covenant to the people, as a light to the Gentiles,
7 To open blind eyes, to bring out prisoners from the prison, those who sit in darkness from the prison house.
(NKJ)

When Yeshua appeared 2,000 years ago, He gathered men out of darkness, and he sent them as light to bring good fruit and resurrection life to the nations, those would be part of a greater harvest. Notice that as the light comes, which is resurrection life, we come out of prison (bondage to sin) we get eyes to see and ears to hear, we come out of darkness, (ignorance, sin, lack of understanding) and we come in covenant with the LORD.

Isaiah 42:16
16 I will bring the blind by a way they did not know; I will lead them in paths they have not known. I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things I will do for them, and not forsake them.
(NKJ)

The word way or (derek) in the Hebrew does not speak of a “way” as in direction, but as in a way of life and moral character. Jesus said that He is the way, the truth and the life, (John 14:6). The light of revelation brings us into the resurrected life of Christ and into good fruit. Resurrection life not only brings us out of darkness but gives us authority over darkness. The light of who Yeshua is causes the crooked place, (areas of perversity, disobedience to the word, areas of the flesh) in our lives to be made straight (righteous, producing good fruit) before the LORD.

That was the ministry of Yeshua, it was the ministry of John the Baptist, (John 5:35) it was the ministry of the apostles, (Matthew 5:14-16) it was the ministry of the apostle Paul (Acts 26:18) and now is the ministry of the apostolic Bride or Zion, (Isaiah 60: 1-6 and 1 Peter 2:9)

Isaiah 60:1-6
1 Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you.
2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the LORD will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.
3 The Gentiles shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.
4 “Lift up your eyes all around, and see: they all gather together, they come to you; your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be nursed at your side.
5 Then you shall see and become radiant, and your heart shall swell with joy; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.
6 The multitude of camels shall cover your land, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all those from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and incense, and they shall proclaim the praises of the LORD.
(NKJ)

Notice in verse 1, Isaiah says arise and shine. Why shine? Shine because the light has come into you! That is what praise means, to shine because your light has come! When revelation, illumination, good fruit and the resurrected life of Christ appears in us, we are commanded to let that light shine, so that those who are in darkness can be drawn to that light. They will be drawn to the resurrected life of Yeshua! That is giving praise to the LORD, Hallelujah!

2 Peter 2:9
9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;

We are this royal priesthood, we are the army of lights, the heavenly hosts that will shine fourth the light of God, and manifest good fruit. It is the holy spirit that gives us the ability to be a light that shine to the gentiles, to bring those who sit in darkness to light, to opened up the eyes of the blind and the ears of the deaf, to bring those who are imprisoned to sin because of lack of revelation, out, to manifest the praises of God!

The LORD wants us all to be part of this apostolic army of lights, but we must arise and wake up to receive that light of His life.

Psalms 115:17-18
17 The dead do not praise the LORD, nor any who go down into silence.
18 But we will bless the LORD from this time forth and forevermore. Praise the LORD!
(NKJ)

Why don’t the dead praise? Those who are spiritually dead cannot praise (let their light shine) because they have no light, they have no fruit, they have no illumination. They have no breath; therefore, the apostle Paul says, and I leave you with this…

Ephesians 5:14
14 … “Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.”
(NKJ)

I pray that the tithe of this word produces the harvest in you! Bless you.

I just want to encourage others as I have so much to be thankful for. Last week I was able to have family and friends over for a
bbq and I did all the cooking without having to go to bed for hours in between and feel terrible. God is giving my life back to me that I haven’t had for over 4 years. It felt so good to be able to do for others again because Yeshua is healing me. For years I have been in prayer lines asking God to heal me with very little results. Since I have been going to Forerunner and sitting under Pastor Mike I have been getting steadily healed more and more each time I go. The power and anointing that is there is amazing. I thank Pastor Mike for the price He had to pay to have this power from God. Blessings to all Lori

Blessings to all in the name of our Lord Jesus the Christ! I am extremely excited about the apostolic season we have stepped into and I am looking forward to the increase of Dad’s government upon the shoulders of those whose life has become a death sentence, so the life of Christ can be manifested out of them! The Lord has really been revealing to me what it means to be a witness, and this word has been increasing in my heart not to just release it, but to see all of us step into the demonstration of it. I am just going to share part the message now to bring you up to speed. What I can see in scripture through what the Lord has been showing me is that to be a witness is an apostolic call to demonstrate the very character of God in power and authority. There are a many scriptures that show this but here are a few:

Acts 1:8
8 “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

Acts 4:33
33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.

As you can see, the scripture says that they were to be witness’ of the resurrection power of Christ. The powerful truth here is that according to Luke 24:49 the disciples were to tarry in Jerusalem until they were endued with power from on high! When did this happen? Pentecost! The word endued means to sink into clothing which prophetically speaks of sinking into the image of the character of Christ. That is powerful in itself, but what is more important is how does this happen? Paul says in Galatians 3:27 those who are baptized into Christ put on (endued) Christ. Now, see this powerful connection Paul speaks of in Romans.

Romans 6:3
3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?

This is a powerful revelation here. Baptism speaks of being immersed into the cleansing water of the word but it also speaks of being overwhelmed by calamity! While the word is cleanses us is it also killing us! Baptism brings us to a death so that we can bury our old mindsets and be resurrected in thought and deed. We must take off our garments of flesh and darkness and put on garments of lights.  For us to be a witness of His resurrection power, we must die to our limited understanding. Now that I shared that, lets look at  the power of what it means to be a witness. The word witness in the Greek is where we get the word martyr from which means to die a violent death or to lose your head (mindsets). This word also means a witness in a legal sense! Hallelujah! It means one who testifies in court of what they SEEN AND HEARD! Wow! Jesus says in Matthew 13 if we had eyes to see and ears to hear the mysteries of the kingdom we would be made whole or come in salvation! When Jesus says in Matthew 13 to the disciples that it has been given to you to KNOW the mysteries of the kingdom the word know is not head knowledge. To know means to have intercourse or to experience the word. Consummation is when a man and a woman come together and the two become one! When we truly have eyes to see and ears to hear we are becoming one with what we see! John says in 1John3:2 when we SEE HIM WE WILL BE LIKE HIM! The Lord also says to Moses that no man can see God and live! When we truly see him in His glory it will kill us so that we can manifest His life and be a true witness…His life manifesting in us and testifying to the world that Jesus is not dead but alive and moving in power in us. Now see this scripture through new eyes…

Revelations 12:11
11 “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

They overcame by the blood (coming into the likeness of the Lamb) and word of their testimony! Testimony is the witness! They died to self and Satan was casted out of their way of thinking and they began to step into the likeness and image of Christ! The word overcome means one who goes to court and wins the case! The enemy can’t defeat a generation of over-comers because they are manifesting the image of Christ. He overcame so that we could overcome every plan of the enemy, every giant in the land and every religious system that would leave people in bondage instead of setting them free! Now is the time to step into Dad’s power and authority and set people free by the life of Christ manifesting through you and out of you! Shalom.

I want to tell everyone that sometimes the Lord will take away something that you are not aware of right away like ” Menopause.” I didn’t pray and ask Him to do it! He just did it !.About 13 years ago I had precancer cells in my uterus. Thanks to God it was caught and the cancer was frozen off. Then I started to have more female problems at the age of 48, so I had a full hysterectomy – after that the doctor gave me estrogen 1mg a day for the early menopause that I went into. That was not a good idea! After 2 years, I started getting lumps in my breasts. So, back to the doctors I went.  I praised the Lord because I was free of cancer, but I still had painful breasts. I really wanted to stop taking the estrogen.I tried the natural supplements, but they eally didn’t work well. The hot flashes, mood swings,etc., were just as bad, so I continued taking it, but not the full dose. I broke the pill in half.  The Lord decided to throw in a great big surprise that I didn’t realize right away. He took away the menopause! Yes! After the Lord healed my spine disorders, I continued  taking that pill every morning,  until one time when I forgot.  Because missed one dosage I decided to take a double dose the next day, but it did not turn out for my benefit. I didn’t feel well at all! Moreover, I ended up forgetting once more, so I thought, “Lord you don’t want me to take this anymore do you?” Then He caused me to  forget again and again and again! However the LORD was delivering me the whole time. Now, I am free of this cancer causing estrogen,  and I am free of the mood swings and the hot flashes! Thank you Daddy! I just love You so much. I love you all, and I love you Pastor Mike. May God bless each and everyone of you!

What can I do for you Beautiful King. This is my testimony of my experience in the Glory of God.

As I sit here and write what I’ve seen and felt my Holy Father do in the last few days, I am worshipping him with my children.
The song I am listening to describes exactly how I felt at the service in California on Sunday.

“What can I do for you, what can I bring to you, what kind of song would you like me to sing. I want to dance for you, pour out my love for you, what can I do for you Beautiful King, because I can’t thank you enough, all of the words that I find, no matter how I try, I can’t thank you enough. And you sing to me. Saying,
“You, don’t have to do a thing, just simply be with me, and let those things go, because they can wait another minute, wait, this moment is too sweet, would you please stay here with me and love on me a little longer, because I like to be with you a little longer, I love to be with you a little longer, because I’m in love with you.” –By Brian and Jenn Johnson.

Saturday and Sunday service in the upper desert was amazing. Saturday was almost like the preparation day to prepare our hearts for what was ahead on Sunday.
I remember Saturday during worship I wanted to give the Lord more of me, but something was holding me back. I came in Sunday with the expectation to press the heavens, give him all of me, and receive all of him. Col 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: *this word hope means an expectation. Christ in you, EXPECT GLORY!

Now to describe what happened. I can only explain this through my own eyes and experience. The funny thing is for most of it I kept my eyes closed and just felt it. When I finally opened my eyes I could see that everyone was feeling what I was as well.

I started in the back of the theatre and decided today I should make my way to the front and worship in front of the alter. I wanted to be a willing sacrifice for the Lord.
Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.

I wanted so badly to press the heavens. The night before I kept hearing the Lord say, “my Glory will rip the roof off this place” That was exactly what I wanted to happen. So I violently pressed the heavens and worshipped my Lord.
Mat 11:12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.

I started my song and dance to the Lord with flags in each hand and my eyes closed, thankful that I didn’t wak too many people with a flag. I gave my all to the Lord. I shouted, I sang, I danced, I clapped, I spun in circles. I jumped up and down. I worshipped to the point of complete exhaustion, and as I pushed myself to give him more of me, I kept being pushed to the ground.
Rev 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:

So there I layed upon the ground. On my face at his feet. I saw the feet of the Lord. I let my tears wash his feet. I pressed my head upon them. I said, “Lord I want to be at your feet, my life is yours Lord, you are Lord of my life, it is yours.” I felt so strongly that I belonged at the feet of Jesus. That at his feet was where I would find healing, deliverance, and receive more of him. I cherished being there at that place with everything in me. I knew it was a prophetic act. That as I sit and learn the Revelation of Jesus from his Holy Apostles and Prophets, that I was really at his feet. The place of receiving the Word. The place of deliverance. The place of healing, and the place of true humility and teachable. A place of sacrificing and casting my mind before his throne.

Luk 8:35 Then they went out to see what was done; and came to Jesus, and found the man, out of whom the devils were departed, sitting at the feet of Jesus, clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

Deu 33:3 Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand: and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words.

Luk 10:39 And she had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus’ feet, and heard his word.

Rev 4:10 The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
Rev 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Next thing I knew it was like something happened to time. Whether it stopped or sped up, that I’m not sure. All I knew was I was there with the Lord, and the worship team was singing one song, and all of a sudden they were at the end of another song. I felt like the Lord wanted me to roll over on my back to receive what he was pouring out, and as I rolled over I noticed the majority of everyone at the altar was also on their backs, knees, or faces.

1Co 14:24 But if all prophesy, and there come in one that believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, he is judged of all:
1Co 14:25 And thus are the secrets of his heart made manifest; and so falling down on his face he will worship God, and report that God is in you of a truth.

I closed my eyes once more. I heard shouting, praising, crying, songs being sung from the hearts of the people. It was like at one moment, the Glory of God came down and touched everyone. I’m not sure if even one person was able to stand. As for me I was not. It was as if the message for the night was the message of his Glory, and it filled the whole earth, each one of us there.

Rev 18:1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.

It was truly  Pentecost. The Lord released his Apostolic Fire. The fire came down and the praised went up.

The word here for Paran speaks of the bull,ox, fruitful, also means to be glorified.
Jesus as the head Ox, or Apostle, was breathing out an apostolic breath into his people. This is the only way to explain the experience. Teman means his blood continues and also speaks of the mysteries. The Lord is the Mystery and he was revealing himself, covering us in his blood, the revelation of who he is. How are we ever to know who he is until we mature into his Apostolic nature. I feel like it was release of preparation. For the Bride to now mature in her Apostolic calling. There will be no more games. No more wasting of time or laziness. There is a people on Fire and hungry that are running with the horses and seeking his Face. Determined to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to Earth.

There I was. I tried to stand up in what formed to be a prayer line. Someone actually fell on me as I laid on the floor. I stood for maybe ten seconds and was bent over once more, pushed to my knees by the weight of the Glory that he released. As I sat on my knees with my face to the ground, I felt this intense heat through my stomach area. I soaked in every drop of what Dad was pouring out. I think I may have been the last person to stand up. I sat in the seat closes to me because I could barely stand, let alone walk.

Luk 11:2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.

We are the Kingdom of God. We are the Kings and the Priests. So when we overcome and step into what God has for us, we manifest his kingdom in the Earth because the King of Kings will rule in us.

God spoke to Apostle Michael and told him that this was just a scratch of what is coming.
What I felt was something I have never experienced before. This was no scratch to me, but it was a scratch to God. I believe that if he would have released the whole Glory I might be dead today. What I felt was so intense, the best way I could explain it is, “it was so strong.” The funny thing is, a few days before this, my children and I were worshipping the Lord in our apartment, and my son got touched, and started crying, saying, “Mommy all I can do is cry its so strong.” When I asked him what happened, he told me that Jesus touched him. When I asked what it felt like, he said it felt strong.

The Lord is our strong authority. He is the head Ox. He is Elohyim. Which actually means a strong authority.

I have been telling everyone at work about this amazing experience with the Lord. About the miracles he is doing in the high desert. How he is making the way straight. How he has another John the Baptist, one in the Spirit of Elijah, crying out, make the way strait. Apostle Michael Petro.

I am so thankful to be apart of this move of God. I am so thankful to be awakened to truth. To not just be watching from a distance of what is happening, but to be able to take part in it. I am excited for what is to come, and I am now in a state of serious preparation, prayer, and fasting. Its time to be fruitful and mature into what God has for us. There is a harvest ready to be reaped. I urge anyone reading this to check out the website www.forerunnertv.com, listen to some of the teachings, search out the Word, tithe into what Dad is doing in this ministry, and be overwhelmed by the Lord Jesus Christ.

Mal 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

Amen,

Blessings to the Body of Christ.  I am writing this to you all as a gift from my heart.  I cannot think of anything more important to bless someone with than the Word of God, the Perfect Life-giving Word that can transform you from the inside out.  I believe there is Eternal Life in his Word.  I want to start with why I believe that and move onto the proper foundation that the Lord Jesus Christ has established for the giving and receiving of the word.

Gen 1:1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

How did He create?  Through his Word.

Joh 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He is the word.  What is His name?

Rev 19:13  And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
Luk 24:27  And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

He is revealing Himself from the beginning of his Word til the end.  And that means He is revealing you as well.

Eph 3:9  And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:

So God was in the beginning, the Word, and all creation… And through the Word which created all, He is recreating us.  He is the head and we are the body.  And He is revealing himself and us through the revelation of his Word… He is revealing the mystery of God to us. Notice that what he is revealing has been hidden in him since the beginning.

Col 1:18  And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

So the church was dead, and now is being awakened, a new beginning, by His Word, which was hidden in Him.

Col 4:3  Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds:
Rev 10:7  But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

So now in just a few scriptures, if you take the time to read them and ask the Spirit to quicken your heart, you will see that since the beginning God has had things or a word hidden in Him, which He wants to reveal to us, and that word is Jesus Christ.  He is hidden all through the Word, He is the Word, and He is unveiling Himself to us, He is the mystery being revealed.  Now how important is it to us Body of Christ to understand these mysteries and find who is teaching them?????  It is very important.

1Co 2:7  But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory:

So now I hope these above scriptures have obtained a proper foundation so that I can build upon it with these next passages I plan to write to you.  My heart is to show you that the Lord does have a proper foundation in which He builds the church upon, and I pray all will come into alignment with what the Word of God says that foundation is.

I pray all can put away all carnal views of man, and when you see a person moving in the revelation of the mystery of God, despite your view on these people as merely human, you will say to yourself, though they may be still human (carnal), there is something spiritual, the Spirit of God, Life, speaking through them.  Choose not to dwell on what you interpret as wrong in moral character according to your perception, but choose to come into submission to the Will and Word of the Lord, the proper foundation, and realize that you may obtain Life through Christ Jesus by doing so.

A lot of people have a hard time submitting to authority.  Even if a man is speaking the hidden wisdom of God.  Usually this rebellion of authority has nothing to do with the man itself, but stems back to issues and rebellion with ones own natural parents or authority.  But when it comes to our salvation, it is time to put away child things, and move forward and come into alignment with the authority God himself put over us to lead us into life.  I personally believe God uses eldership just to reveal rebellion in us, for if their was no authority put over us, how would we even know we had rebellion in us.  Even as a mother I am put in a place to teach my children.  They see all sides of me.  They see me upset, mad, happy, worshipping, praying, preaching, crying out, living and dying.  They see the good, the bad and the ugly.  But no matter what they see, and whether they agree, like it or not, they are my children, they still have to listen to me, and I still know whats best for them.

I first want to point out a few things that the Apostles did when they opened their epistles written to the Body of Christ.

Rom 1:1  Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, a called apostle, separated to the gospel of God
Rom 11:13  For I speak to you, the nations; since I am the apostle of the nations, I glorify my ministry;
1Co 1:1  Paul, a called apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
1Co 9:1  Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?
1Co 9:2  If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to you, for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.
2Co 12:12  Truly the signs of the apostle were worked out among you in all patience, in miracles and in wonders, and by works of power.
Gal 1:1  Paul, an apostle (not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead),
1Ti 2:7  To this I am ordained a preacher and an apostle (I speak the truth in Christ, I do not lie), a teacher of the nations, in faith and truth.

Here you see in these scriptures that not only did Paul start his letters proclaiming his title, he also said where it came from, the Lord, not man! He stated that only through that did he wrought miracles, and he states that he speaks to nations.  He clearly made it known to the people at the beginning of his epistles the position he held, who gave it to him, and the power that came with it for miracles.

Was Paul bragging by doing this? Not so.  Did he do this for a reason, yes he did.  his messages following his opening statements are all apostolic messages.

Rom 16:25  Now to Him who is able to establish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery, having been unvoiced during eternal times;

He calls it “his gospel”, the revelation Jesus showed him was an apostolic revelation, from the Apostle Jesus Christ himself.

Heb 3:1  Therefore, holy brothers, called to be partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus,

So we see Jesus is an Apostle, so their must be an apostolic message to the body.  Meaning it has to come out of apostolic men and women.  Could this be the foundation the Lord builds his church upon?

Psa 118:22  The Stone which the builders refused has become the Head of the corner.
Mat 21:42  Jesus said to them, Did you never read in the Scriptures, “The stone which the builders rejected, this One has become the head of the corner; this is the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes?”
Act 4:11  This is the Stone which you builders have counted worthless, and He has become the Head of the Corner.
1Pe 2:6  Therefore also it is contained in the Scripture: “Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner Stone, elect, precious, and he who believes on Him shall never be ashamed.”

God is putting this stone in you.

Eph 2:18  For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.
Eph 2:19  Now therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,
Eph 2:20  and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,
Eph 2:21  in whom every building having been fitly framed together, grows into a holy sanctuary in the Lord;
Eph 2:22  in whom you also are built together for a dwelling place of God through the Spirit.

Lets see this one more time:
Eph 2:20  and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone,

So the Lord is clearly showing us that the church is built upon the foundation of apostles and prophets.  Not evangelists, pastors and teachers!  He said apostles and prophets.  And this speaks of Jesus Christ himself.  The scripture even says Jesus was an apostle and a prophet.  So the messages He is sending to build his church, should be coming through apostles and prophets.

How blessed are we that the Lord sent an Apostle/Prophet into our midst…  Michael Petro!  Like Paul, one who builds upon Jesus, the mystery, and the unveiling of Him (the revelation of Him).

Should we turn from this and go back into a dead religious system built on the wrong foundation that has no life to give us, or should we follow this narrow path, that only few find, that leads to life.

Heb 13:7  Remember those leading you, who have spoken to you the Word of God, whose faith follow, considering the end of their conduct:
Heb 13:8  Jesus Christ the same yesterday and today and forever.
Heb 13:9  Do not be carried about with different and strange doctrines, for it is good for the heart to be established with grace, not with foods, in which those who have walked in them were not helped.
2Ki 6:19  And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, nor is this the city. Follow me and I will bring you to the man whom you seek. But he led them to Samaria.
2Ki 6:20  And it happened when they came into Samaria, Elisha said, Jehovah, open the eyes of these men so that they may see. And Jehovah opened their eyes, and they saw. And behold, they were in the middle of Samaria.
2Th 3:6  Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you withdraw yourselves from every brother who walks disorderly, and not after the teaching which he received from us.
2Th 3:7  For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us. For we did not behave ourselves disorderly among you,
2Th 3:8  neither did we eat any man’s bread freely, but we worked with labor and travail night and day, so that we might not be heavy on any of you
2Th 3:9  (not because we do not have authority, but to make ourselves an example to you, to imitate us).

I want you to notice in the above scriptures Paul talks about that they did not behave disorderly and that’s why you should follow them, the Apostles.

Lets take a look at the revelation on order, because this will show you whom you should follow and whom you should not. Lets let the word interpret itself in these next passages I am writing below. But let me first throw this out there, that Paul states that anyone who does not come into the order he preaches about, should have no company with the Saints that are moving in that order.

2Th 3:14  And if anyone does not obey our word by this letter, mark that one and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed.
2Th 3:15  Yet do not count him as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

This reminds me of when Cain, a brother, received a mark.  Yet you are not to have company with them, yet this is for the greater good, for their salvation, so that they may not stay in their disorder, but that they may see the error of their ways, see the fruit in your life that is not manifesting in their own, and come and turn back to the way, the narrow way, in which God ordained to bring them into the Glory.

Lets just talk about this order first shall we.. this is the way which the apostles speak, bringing you into order.

The word for “word” in the Hebrew is Strongs number H1697. Here it the definition from the Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible:
Strongs #H1697: AHLB#: 2093 (N)
Order/Word: An arrangement or placement of something creating order. [from: rd - order]
Speak: A careful arrangement of words or commands. [freq. 1488] (vf: Paal, Niphal, Hiphil, Hitpael, Pual, Piel) |kjv: speak, say, talk, promise, tell, commune, pronounce, utter, command| {str: 1696}
Word: An arrangement of words.
Thing: As something that is arranged. In Hebrew thought words contain substance just as physical objects do.

I would like to highlight that this Word speaks of ORDER…

So God wants to put his Word, or Order into you.  That could be why Paul was so adamant about saying that anyone who was in disorder should have no company with the saints. For to eat of order (Gods Word), and disorder (mans word), would be mixing the seed.  Babylon means a mixture.  God does not want us partaking of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (a mixed tree).  He has so graciously placed a tree of LIFE in the center of the garden (us) for us to eat from.  The Spirit, the seed, makes that tree grow and produce fruit so we can feed others the fruit of our lips and give them life.

Your lips will either bring someone into order, or disorder… and God commands this:

1Co 14:40  Let all things be done decently and in order.
Psa 119:133  Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.
Ecc 12:9  And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
Isa 38:1  In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.
Luk 1:3  It seemed good to me also, having had perfect understanding of all things from the very first, to write unto thee in order, most excellent Theophilus,
1Co 11:34  And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
1Co 15:23  But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming.

Let this order, or word, produce Christ in us. So we may be partakers of the first fruits of many brethren, which is Jesus.

Now please lets take this concept of Order back to Genesis and see how we can have a “genesis again” (regeneration) by it.

Gen 1:1  In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
Gen 1:2  And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Gen 1:3  And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
Gen 1:4  And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
Gen 1:5  And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.

So we already know that in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and was God.  And it created all things (including us) by His word, and by His word He is recreating us into a new creation, one that looks like the bride groom, an equally yoked bride.  Only by a perfect word can a perfect bride be created.  But what is interesting here is that God divided the light from the darkness.  It brought me back to when Paul said have no company with those in disorder.  I will explain this more.  I just want to go to something John said first.

Joh 1:3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Joh 1:4  In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
Joh 1:5  And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
Joh 1:9  That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
Joh 1:10  He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
Joh 1:11  He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
Joh 1:12  But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Joh 12:36  While ye have light, believe in the light, that ye may be the children of light. These things spake Jesus, and departed, and did hide himself from them.

We see that the Light was a spiritual light in Genesis since it was created before the sun moon and stars were created. This Light, was the Word, was Jesus.  And when we are born of this light, we are children of light.

We are born by a seed, the seed is the word Jesus said, so this Word which was received should bring us into the light, to be partakers of the light.

What does light mean, because according to the above scriptures it has to have something to do with Jesus and the Word.
Keep in mind the word for “word” in Hebrew meant order. And Paul speaks of us coming into Order, by the Word and he himself makes that comparison.

I am showing you one part of the definition for light, Strongs number H216, from the Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible.
Strongs #216: AHLB#: 1020-J (N)
Order/Box: Boxes are used to store items and keep them in order. Light is also necessary for order.

It speaks of order.  Also a box.  I am not surprised.  In the Azusa street revivals in the 1950s the preacher would put a box over his head, and when he did this the glory would be revealed, when he stopped doing this, the glory left.

The Lord was showing us through even that parable, that he wants to put his light, his word in our head, our box.

The Hebrew letters for this word light are aleph (ox head) and resh (mans head).  Ox is not only symbolic of God, but of the apostle.

Deu 25:4  Thou shalt not muzzle the ox when he treadeth out the corn.
1Co 9:9  For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen?
1Co 9:10  Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope.
1Co 9:11  If we have sown unto you spiritual things, is it a great thing if we shall reap your carnal things?
1Ti 5:18  For the scripture saith, Thou shalt not muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And, the labourer is worthy of his reward.

The Ox, the Apostles, are sowing in you Spiritual things.  What are they sowing in you?  The mind of Christ.  The Light, the Seed, the Word, Jesus.  God wants to fill your box with light, with revelation, and make you partakers of the Light, children of the light, sons of Light.

1Jn 1:7  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Eph 5:8  For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
Joh 11:9  Jesus answered, Are there not twelve hours in the day? If any man walk in the day, he stumbleth not, because he seeth the light of this world.
Rev 21:24  And the nations of them which are saved shall walk in the light of it: and the kings of the earth do bring their glory and honour into it.

When God said in Genesis the earth (you) was without form and void, that word “void” speaks of an empty box that needs to be filled. It is Strongs number H922 and here is definition from Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible:
Strongs #922: AHLB#: 1028-J (r)
Need/Box: An empty space needing to be filled.

and the word for “form” H8414 means confusion and waste:
Strongs #8414: AHLB#: 1488-J (r)
Ignore: To consider something of no value, a waste. [freq. 1] (vf: Hiphil) |kjv: limited| {str: 8428}
Astonish: A feeling of waste. [freq. 1] |kjv: astony| {str: 8429}
Waste: A barren place. Also vanity as a state of waste.  [freq. 20] |kjv: vain, vanity, confusion, without, wilderness, nought, nothing, empty, waste| {str: 8414}

1Co 14:31  For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
1Co 14:32  And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
1Co 14:33  For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Why is God not the author of confusion.  Because He does not want you to have an empty box or earth without form and void.  He wants to put His seed word, His light in you.

Heb 5:8  Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;
Heb 5:9  And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

God is an Author, you are the epistle He is writing His signature in.  His word, His light, is His name, and it is the name He is writing in you.

God does this through Apostles and Prophets.  They speak light, revelation.  Anything built on any other foundation is not God.  It is confusion, mixture, Babylon.  It’s a divided house that cannot stand.

So with this all said, I pray everyone can honour the Prophet the Lord has sent into our midst to bring us into order, light, revelation.  The Prophet sent to present us to the Lord as a perfect Bride.

Mat 10:41  He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.
2Co 11:1  Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me.
2Co 11:2  For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
2Co 11:3  But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
2Co 11:4  For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

Apostles present the Bride to Jesus.  Anything else would be them preaching another Jesus.  Lets get the confusion out of the Body of Christ.  Let a Bride rise up that will reveal the Glory of her husband Christ Jesus to the nations of the world.

Lets get Light in our box.

Now I just want to clarify all that I am saying with some more scriptures, line upon line and precept upon precept. I’d like us to take a look at the word “secret” which is the Hebrew word “sod”. I choose to look at this word, because Paul preached the secrets-mysteries, and that is the foundation he built the church upon, and the same one we should be building churches upon today.  I will also include the scriptures to show that as well if you continue to read below with wisdom and understanding.

Job 15:8  Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?

The word “secret” here is Strongs number H5475:
BDB Definition:
1) council, counsel, assembly
1a) council (of familiar conversation)
1a1) divan, circle (of familiar friends)
1a2) assembly, company
1b) counsel
1b1) counsel (itself)
1b2) secret counsel
1b3) familiar converse, intimacy (with God)

This is the same definition God uses for mystery in the New Testament in the following scriptures.

1Co 4:1  Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Luk 8:10  And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.

So we can clearly see if was a gift given to Paul to preach the mysteries, a level of understanding that comes by great intimacy with God, as you can see in the definition of sod (see 1b3).  What I really like about the definition of sod/mystery, is that in the Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible it speaks of a “field” and also “a foundation”.  Jesus said the seed is the word, so it makes sense that He is sowing it in a field.  Also that the foundation of the church is built on this concept.  Jesus sowing His seed word into us.  The light causing the darkness to flee, making us children of the Light.

Here is the Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible definition for secret:
Strongs #5475: AHLB#: 1326-J (N)
Level/Field: A level piece of ground for planting crops or setting up tents or structures. (eng: sod)
Stocks: A level beam for holding the feet prisoners. [freq. 2] |kjv: stocks| {str: 5465}
Foundation: A level place. [freq. 1] |kjv: foundation| {str: 4527}

You can go to that strongs number yourself to obtain the full definition.

So now we can clearly see why Jesus was talking and connecting his preaching of mysteries to foundations in the following verses.

Luk 6:48  He is like a man which built an house, and digged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock: and when the flood arose, the stream beat vehemently upon that house, and could not shake it: for it was founded upon a rock.
Exo 33:21  And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
Deu 32:4  He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
Psa 95:1  O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation.
Mat 16:18  And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
1Co 3:10  According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
1Co 3:11  For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
Eph 2:20  And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone;
2Ti 2:19  Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

The Rock, the Lord, He is our salvation, He is the Light, He is the Word, He is the mystery being revealed by the Holy Apostles and Prophets, He is the Chief Cornerstone the church is to be built upon.

Do not build on a false foundation, and if you have, pray for a prophet like Jerimiah to come and tear down and rebuild.
Jer 1:10  See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
1Co 2:16  For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
Php 1:27  Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
1Co 1:10  Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

I thank God for an Apostle/Prophet sent by God to raise me up as a symbolic son of the light, and a Bride to the Lord Jesus Christ.

With love to the body, blessings and Amen.

I’m writing today because I feel that what the Lord is releasing is a new season of transition to Apostolic government.  The season is definitely upon us, based on the type of revelation that is being released to the church around the world, and to those who are willing to hear and be part of this next mighty move of the Spirit of God.  As the Lord begins to show us things in the realm of His government we have two options; listen and move on, or be left behind like the stragglers in the wilderness that came out of Egypt.

What I’m about to share I’ve studied out and can see no other explanation than what I’m going to release. I’ve never seen a season in my life in all the years of ministry that so much information has been given to me from the Holy Spirit. This is only a small part of a much larger revelation the Lord is giving me, hopefully I’ll be able to let it out in the near future.  My hope is that not only will you see this but begin to adjust your life with what God is saying and releasing to the body.

Genesis 3:24
So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

The word “drove out” H1644 in the Hebrew means divorce and remove from a pasture. We can clearly see that because of Adam and Eve’s mistake they were driven from Eden or God’s pasture, which in reality speaks of a place to eat. This gives us a little insight about Eden. It was a pasture that as long as Adam and Eve were willing to eat what the Lord instructed them, there would be a continual marriage between them and the Father but as soon as they wanted to eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, a divorce occurred and YHVH put them out of the pasture. We can clearly see that the first divorce happened because of the knowledge of good and evil.

He places a Cherubim at the East side of the Garden to guard the way. I’ve been very interested in these Cherubim for some time now. They represent something that the Lord is letting us look at in the Spirit realm that will give us a clear picture into this next season of change. These Cherubim keep the way back into the garden… it doesn’t say they keep anyone out. These swords “turn every way” H2015 which means to convert. So these swords are used to convert people to keep the way to the tree of life. To go through these swords that the Cherubim swing, means you must be converted! By the way, Cherubim is plural so there is more than one.  So these swords of conversion “keep the way.” This phrase is interesting because when broken down it means to hedge or preserve a “narrow” road. So these swords that these Cherubim turn are to make the way to the tree of life a narrow road.

Matthew 7:13-14
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

Jesus clearly teaches about a narrow gate which must be the way back into the garden to the tree of life. He says “few there be that find it”, but Jesus is already giving us several clues to the way back to eternal life. The word “narrow” also means tribulation so the way back into the garden is for those who go through tribulation and its only for the few who are willing to pay the price. The word “few” is also used for the word “mystery”, which means the initiated of the few so we can see that those who are willing to dig deeper are the few that are chosen. Now when we look back at Gen 3:24 it also speaks of a “flaming” sword or a flaming word. This word for flame spoke volumes to me when I seen it so I will give the full Ancient Hebrew bible lexicon definition of it:

Flaming H3858 Strongs #3858: AHLB#: 1262-G (N)
1262) ac: Cover co: Veil ab: Secret: The pictograph l is a picture of the shepherd staff representing authority, the u is a picture of a basket or container. Combined these mean “authority contained”. The covering that covers and hides the face of a woman.

J) ac: Wrap co: ? ab: ?
V) Wrap: To cover something by wrapping it. [freq. 3] (vf: Paal, Hiphil) |kjv: wrap, cast| {str: 3874}

Notice this word for “flame” means something that is covered, veiled, secret, a veil that hides a women’s face. This flaming sword is that narrow way back into the garden. Meaning the only way back to the garden is through the secrets that are veiled to the bride, and these secrets must be unveiled. We can see this picture in the book of revelations.

Revelation 22:14
Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

Those that do His commandments are the ones who have the right to the “tree of Life” or have the right to go back into the garden through the narrow gate or the secrets. Notice that those who make it to the tree of life are those who have a right to enter into the city, the New Jerusalem. Jerusalem is made up of two Hebrew words: Yaru & shalom. “Yaru” is the root to the word Torah, and it means to throw or teach the rain and “shalom” means peace or restoration. We know in Hebrew that a name speaks of it’s function, so the New Jerusalem are those who teach the rains of restoration or the mystery of the kingdom like Jesus.

Revelation 2:7
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Notice those who eat of the tree of life are the ones that overcome from the church age, so these overcomers have gone threw the flaming sword, the hidden manna, or the secret words and have made it back into the garden to partake of the tree of life. We know those that overcome also get to eat of the “Hidden Manna” or the secret word or the mystery of the kingdom. We can also clearly see that the FRUIT on the Tree of Life is the mystery of Christ or the secrets (sod) of God. Who hung on the tree? Jesus was the fruit who hung on the tree or cross.

In Gen 3:24 again, the word for “life” also means living creatures.  Living creatures are another name for Cherubim in the book of Ezekiel. This must mean that the fruit from the tree of life must be distributed by these Cherubim. Fruit comes from a tree and a tree starts with a seed, and Jesus said the seed is the word of God. So these Cherubim are filled with a secret word and we must go through their flaming (secret, veiled) sword to get back into the garden. This word for “life” also means a stomach that is filled with food, as in an empty stomach is death but a full stomach is life. This word is also used for revival. Revival is when we have a full stomach. These Cherubim are bringing an end time revival and are feeding the nations from the tree of life, feeding them the mystery of the kingdom. They are feeding everyone to the full and preparing the overcomers to rule.

We can see these Cherubim are a people or ministry that is released at the end of the age to feed the nations for the last move of God. These Cherubim are the way back to the tree and they are swinging a big sword that we must all pass through to get back into the garden. The sword they swing are the secrets of God so now we can see just a glimpse of what ministry they are. They play a major part in the redemption of man.

Ephesians 3:3-5
3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote afore in few words,
4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ)
5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit;

The word mystery that is used in the NT is the equivalent of the OT word secret according to the Catholic Biblical Dictionary. We can see that the Cherubim and the Apostles both teach the mystery or secrets of the kingdom, the way back into the garden. Paul also says that the mysteries are taught by the Holy Spirit in  2 Cor 2:10 “the Spirit searches the ‘deep’ things of God” and that the Holy Spirit Reveals these things to the Apostolic ministry. Paul also says in 1 Cor 14:2 “For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.” The word “tongue” means language in the Greek so Paul is saying there is a language of mysteries. This language is God’s language and is learned from eating from the tree of life. Many in the church are waiting to partake of the tree of life but the time is now to eat from the garden. Many in this day and hour are already eating from the tree.

The foolish virgins said to the wise give us some of your oil but the wise said to the foolish go and buy it from the oil merchants. Oil is symbolic of the Holy Spirit who is the teacher and councilor so the foolish didn’t have enough teaching to get in and they wanted it too late but they still had to buy it, so it will cost you too. The oil merchants must be the Cherubim or the Apostles that have paid the price to bring everyone else into the secrets of the kingdom. Apostles are fathers or men of war. They command the armies of God, they have paid the price already in order to lead others into this new realm, so their fight is with the carnal mind. Those who don’t honor them, God will destroy according to scripture.

Exodus 21:15
And he that smiteth his father, or his mother, shall be surely put to death.

Mark 7:10
For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

These are the very ones that lead us back into the garden to eat of the tree of life… to curse them is to cut off the food supply from the tree of life.

I also began to realize that on the veil of the Holy of Holies is 2 Cherubim, meaning the holy of holies is also the garden of Eden. On each side of the Mercy seat there are also 2 Cherubim. The Mercy seat is considered the throne of God in the earth. When the Apostles asked who would be seated at the left and right side of the throne of Jesus they were also saying they were Cherubim. This truly is the way for church to come into perfection. I will be writing more on this subject to try to get everyone up to speed.

Also a special acknowledgment to Jennifer Rosenburg. She wrote a very good article on this same subject and really is tracking with what the Holy Spirit is saying right now. It’s a blessing to see your spiritual children taping into the flow that the Lord is releasing in season. I see so many being pulled in this last hour into the things of the world but I do see those sons and daughters moving toward the goal of the high calling.

Blessings

On the weekend of May 22 & 23, 2010, my son Brandon(age 5) was playing with his Tinker Toys along with another boy named Isaac(age 4) during worship in Victorville, CA. Pastor Mike’s worship team had arrived, some from New Castle, PA and others from Dallas, Texas  for Pentecost weekend. Worship was intense. The following Tuesday my daughter Sharon and I were pulling up pictures online that were taken during the previous weekend services and Brandon came up to us and started telling us about something that came out of his Tinker Toy canister while he and Isaac had been playing during worship. He described it as a bright, white, circular globe that rose up from the bottom of the canister when he opened the lid and said it floated down around the seats. He said they watched it float down over the seats and all the way up to the front of the church by Pastor Mike (they had been playing at the far back of the building). Sharon and I then pulled up one of the pictures and showed it to Brandon and he exclaimed “There it is!” while pointing to one of them. He then said they had followed it for a short distance before it headed to the front of the room. In the picture you can see a small bright, white circle about waist high on Brandon’s back and another bright one in the aisle close by. Actually, they were all over the room, but Brandon saw the brightest one!

A few years ago, my grandson Blake (13) was diagnosed with Aarskog Syndrome, a rare syndrome which has many effects one of which can be a loss of hearing due to the main hearing mechanism that goes to the brain. A few weeks ago Pastor Joey prayed with Blake. A few days later we were booked for another specialist hearing appointment in Cairns to see what avenue of treatment and devices they would use to help Blake with his hearing. The results of the test showed normal hearing!!! Blake has had many tests over the years and this was the first time that it had showed up in the normal range!!!! It didn’t even click with me at first that a miracle had taken place.  Praise be to our wonderful Father!!!

I am shouting! Jesus Christ loves you and me. Believe Believe Believe! He is so amazing, and glorious – He has healed me twice, first my neck, and now my lower back! On May 30th at Adelanto, CA the very special, Pastor Mike Petro asked me to give my testimony of how the Lord healed my neck, in April. After that, I had explained that I still had a lot of pain in my lower back. The reason’s why were from a degentive disc disease. The pads between the disc’s in several areas in my lower lumbar where gone.I couldn’t sit or walk for more than 20 minutes at a time; I felt my life had been destroyed. I used to love to dance, run on the beach, and take long walks. I loved life, but I had been so depressed, and  I was taking several kinds of pain medications, oxycodine, morphine, norco soma, and steriod injections! Then, my doctor had done a painful test to see if I was a canditate for surgery. During that test something went wrong in my back. I had to be hospitalized for two weeks due to the chronic pain. The Dr. said that a morphine implant would be better than taking all those oral drugs that I had been taking already. I cryed out to Jesus and He saved me 2 years ago, and now He has healed my neck and also my lower back! One might ask how do I know? I know because I am dancing and doing yardwork! I am doing the things I could never do before! PRAISE GOD!

There is no better place to be in this world, or in any other, than in Dad’s presence. His beauty is unmatched. His love is inextinguishable, and His grace (provision) is un-ending. There has never been greater evidence of this than the weekend of May 21st to May 24th, 2010. If you have never had a true desire to press forward in the Lord, or if your fire has ever gone out, then here a spark that I pray will ignite or re-ignite the flame in you.

Greetings: my name is James M Bolger, and this is my account of Pentecost weekend.

I had been looking forward to that weekend for over a month. I knew that Dad was going to do something during that weekend. All I kept hearing Him say up to that weekend during my personal time with Him was “it’s time to transition”, but how He was going to do it, and what it would be like I didn’t have any idea about, all I knew is that it was going to be major. People from all across the country, all across the continent were going to be there, and they didn’t care what the cost was, or what it meant giving up, it was like Dad was gathering us all to the upper room.

Saturday night was great. You could tell Dad was setting the stage for what he was going to do. Worship was great, and Apostle Mike was sharing on the Spirit of Elijah and its function and purpose. Being back in that atmosphere again was incredible; you could see the excitement in the people for receiving the word, and their desire to want more of it. It is one of the most beautiful things to see.

Sunday was POWERFUL!!!! Worship was going really well. We began to play “Rain Down”, and when we got into that song, everything began to break. I could feel it. (I’ve been sitting in my room for the past week writing this, and cannot figure out how to really express what I felt. The only words I can think of are strong, and powerful. ) I remember at one point in time I was sitting up playing the piano, and then when I felt the release my body was almost parallel to the piano keys. I knew I had to keep going, keep playing, but if my body would’ve gotten any closer to the piano I would have been laying on it. Dad was releasing a small taste of what He was going to release, and now I am an addict!!!! That is what life should feel like all the time… But I know that in order for Dad to release more of it we have to remain in a constant place of intimacy with Him, constantly being purified by the washing of the water of the Rhema Word!

When I finally had the courage to open my eyes and was able to at least sit (somewhat) up straight again, all I saw were people rejoicing in Dad, people who had been laying in His glory, and people who were in amazement at what Dad was doing. The sight of it was beautiful (for lack of a better word). Sunday was a day that you would want to relive over and over again, just to feel Dad at that magnitude. Dad truly proved two things: He releases on HIS APPOINTED DAYS (The feast days, with that Sunday being Pentecost weekend) and Dad is truly moving in California.

It was truly a blessing to be apart of, and I can’t wait to see what more is in store for this year. My desire, now more than ever, is to be fully prepared for the fullness of His glory, not just for the feeling of it, not just for the beauty of it, but to be a carrier, and a manifestor of it to the nations of the earth. No one, anywhere, should ever have to live without it. God Bless you.

Hello to one and all from here in Innisfail, Far North Queensland, Australia.

I’ve been a member of Forerunner Ministries here in Innisfail for just on 12 months now, and wow, the Lord’s blessings have been upon us all here.

The following is my testimony which I wrote as a poem to share with you all.

Gone For Good

Got prayed for on a Tuesday,
to break the rotten spell.
The alcohol and tobacco,
were my quick way to hell.

I lasted one whole day
without the need to light,
then I gave in to the devil,
lit up and got a fright.

The fear of the Lord is creeping in,
of this I do now know.
I’ve got to keep on pushing in,
this seed from God, I must sow.

So three days later I go to camp
up amongst the hills,
Pastor Joey was talking about
nicotine, addiction and pills.

I penned a drawing of a cigarette
the devil as it’s face,
Don’t ever want to be bound again
and be a hopeless case.

After the lesson I went for a walk,
along the winding path,
A bonfire site I came upon,
a place for the aftermath.

Seven cigarettes I did have left
after lighting up just one,
“Now take the rest and rip them up,
go on and have some fun”

The words they were so loud and clear
from our good Lord above,
“Write satan with your cigarettes,
and burn them with my love”

But hang on Lord, just one more toke
and I’ll do it in the morn,
Yet when I went to walk away
The Lord he did loudly scorn.

The pain riped through my ankles
and up into my knees,
“DO IT NOW, with my love,
I dearly ask you, please.”

I turned around right then and there,
and went back to the fire.
I arranged those last filthy cigarettes,
the word satan, no more shall I desire.

I gathered twigs and pine needles
and did as I was told,
I lit that fire and said goodbye
the past habit, no longer shall hold!

As I walked away to leave,
I asked God for a sign,
to let me know I’d done the right thing
and all was now Divine.

No pain was there in my ankle then,
or in my leg at all,
I thank you Lord for all you’ve done
You catch me before I fall.

So there you have my testimony
on what the Lord has done for me.
Thirty seven years of addictions,
Now I’ve been set free.

Along with the nicotine, all desire for alcohol and pot has also gone!!

Ye Hah!!!!!! The Lord is amazing.

We is a shaking and a moving here in Innisfail. Praise be to our Glorious God!!

THE CROWN

Christ the Head Of The Church

I have been asking the Lord about the mind, probably one of the most complicated parts of the body that we have.I started to read about the mind and I found some of the most amazing facts that scientifically has proven to me yet again,that we serve one amazing God!

The mind and emotions stem from two thoughts “Love and Fear” and our brain actually grows branches and trees in the mind, so every time you think on the thought of fear/negative thoughts, a branch will start growing out in the mind and create toxic thoughts and emotions. Every time you think on Love or good things the trees branches will go down and you will experience less toxic thoughts etc. You will read more about this as you read further.

You might be saying “Yeah, I get that, that is obvious”,but actually the word says ” As a man thinketh
so is he.” Lets take another look at this on a deeper level.

I started to do further research and the Lord opened up to me a very interesting revelation.

The revelation is called “The Crown”

You will see the illustration of the Menorah next to this teaching, and you will notice the seven branches on the Menorah-

If we then go to the scripture Isaiah 11.1-2, we will see that it says

“There shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse and a branch shall grow out of his roots.
And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him. The spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit
of council and might, and the spirit of the fear of the Lord”

These are the seven spirits-

- Spirit of the Lord
- Spirit of Wisdom
- spirit of Understanding
- Spirit of Councel
- Spirit of Might
- Spirit of Knowledge
- Spirit of the Fear of the Lord

I then went to the scripture in-

Revelation 5:6

And i looked and behold, in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the elders, stood a lamb as though it had been slain,having seven horns and seven eyes,which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth.

What an interesting picture. The Lamb of God upon the throne as if he was slain having seven horns and having seven eyes!

HORN

The horn or trumpet has several meanings- Power, strength.

A hard, projecting, and usually pointed organ, growing upon the heads of certain animals, esp. of the ruminants, as cattle, goats, and the like. The hollow horns of the Ox family consist externallyof true horn, and are never shed.

Qeren Hebrew Strongs 07161
horn
horn
of strength (fig)
flask (container for oil)
horn (as musical instrument)
horn (of horn-like projections on the altar)
of rays of light
hill n pr loc (BDB)
a place conquered by Israel probably in Bashan

keration Greek -Strongs 2769

little horn, the name of the fruit, Ceratonia silqua or carobtree (called also John’s Bread [from the notion that its pods, which resemble those of the "locust", constituted the food of the Baptist]. This fruit was shaped like a horn and has a sweet taste; it was and is used not only for fattening swine, but as an article of food by the lower classes.

Keras- Greek- strongs 2768

A horn of animals since animals (esp. bulls) defend themselves with their horns, the horn with the Hebrews (and other nations) is a symbol of strength and courage, and used as such in a variety of phrases
a mighty and valiant helper, the author of deliverance, of the Messiah
a projecting extremity in a shape like a horn, a point, apex: as of an altar

The differnt things that the horns were made out of or used for-

- Blood
- Gold
- Iron
- Atonement
- Blowing/Sound
- Music

There were seven priests in-

Joshua 6.4

And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark. But the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.

And there were seven trumpets

Joshua 6.6

Then Joshua the son of Nun called the priests and said to them, “Take up the ark of the covenant, and let seven priests bear seven trumpets of rams’ horns before the ark of the LORD.”

Joshua 6.8

So it was, when Joshua had spoken to the people, that the seven priests bearing the seven trumpets of rams’horns before the LORD advanced and blew the trumpets, and the ark of the covenant of the LORD followed them.

Now lets go to the almond-

ALMONDS

The Almond, which needs little water, is the first fruit tree in Israel to awake from its winter dormancy and bursts into bloom, while the others are still bare and asleep. The Hebrew name for almond is “shaked’, meaning watchful,wakeful,diligent or alert.

In doing my researchIi found that there is scientific proof that the brain consists of what appears to be “two Almond” shaped pieces called the amygdala. These organs have a doubled almond shaped structure, that is designed to protect you from any threat to your mind or body-such as danger or stress. The amygdala deals with both positive love based emotions like joy and happiness, as well as negative fear based emotions like sadness,anger, and jealousy.

It is like a library that stores emotional perceptions that occur when a thought is built. In other words, every-time we build a memory we activate emotions. The amygdala deals with passionate, perceptual emotions attached to incoming thoughts and all the thoughts already in your head. It keeps your mind awake!

Again, we see the outworking of our Gods amazing ability to show us that nothing he designed is a mistake.

On the Menorah you will notice that there were little bowls, these had the almonds and almond blossoms encarved on them. The Menorah was used in the temple. The bowls would keep the oil in it and keep the wicks of the menorah burning continually. This brought light in the temple and the priests had to ensure that the wicks were trimmed and burning all the time.

I said “Lord, this reminds me of our mind”, I felt that the Lord then said ” Yes”.

Exodus 25:33
Three bowls shall be made like almond blossoms on one branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower, and three bowls made like almond blossoms on the other branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower—and so for the six branches that come out of the lampstand.

Exodus 25:34
On the lampstand itself four bowls shall be made like almond blossoms, each with its ornamental knob and flower.

Exodus 37:19
There were three bowls made like almond blossoms on one branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower, and three bowls made like almond blossoms on the other branch, with an ornamental knob and a flower—and so for the six branches coming out of the lampstand.

Exodus 37:20
And on the lampstand itself were four bowls made like almond blossoms, each with its ornamental knob and flower.

I began to think and then look and connect these all together, I felt that the Lord then started to open revelation on a different scale. I began to look at the Lamb upon the throne and the horns on his head, the horns are prophetic of power and strength. I then had a vision of the Menorah with the branches connecting to the horns of the lamb almost like a car with its leads. I then saw something amazing. I saw that the wicks needed to be trimmed just as our mind has to be trimmed by the word or the truth. The scull of your head is the alter, what you place there is just as important as your body placed on the alter.

I went to the book of revelation again-

Revelation 21.22

But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God almighty were its temple. The city 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.

So here we have the Lord saying in Revelation 21.9 that John was taken up and he saw the City “New Jerusalem” and then saw the most beautiful precious jewels and gems, he then goes on to say that the Lamb was its light. As you read on to Revelation 22 you will come to see more-

Revelation 22

And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal,proceeding from the throne of God and the Lamb. In the middle of its street , and on either side of the river , was the tree of life,which bore twelve fruits,each tree yielding its fruit every month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it,and his servants shall serve him. They shall see His face, and His name shall be on their foreheads. There shall be no night there. They need no Lamp nor light of the sun, for the Lord God gives them light. And they shall reign forever and ever.

What I saw here were several things, as I connected the branch’s of my mind to the Menorah and then to the horns of the Lamb, suddenly there was greater revelation that began to flow, just as this river in revelation. I started to see clearer not only in the natural but in the spirit of revelation and I found that things began to become more illuminated. There was so much that the Lord was showing me, however then the Lord directed me to-

Revelation 22.12-17

And behold, I am coming quickly, and my reward is with me to give to everyone according to his work. “I am the Alpha and Omega,the Beginning and the End, the first and the last”Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of Life, and may enter through the gates into the City. But outside are the dogs the sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves to practice a lie.

“I Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and offspring of David, the Bright Morning Star”

And the Spirit and the Bride say “Come” And let Him who hears say “Come” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires,let him take of the river of Life freely.

What the Lord was then saying was this- We are from the root of Jesse and the offspring of David. We are his branches and trees. The Tree of life is the way we think which leads us to Him, those that have a wrong mindset will not have the right to it or Him. The gate to the City is the mind and having the mind of Christ the Head of the Church gives us FULL access. He says “The gate will not be shut day or night”, this is the gate into “The Kingdom of Heaven”. We can have access to the heavenly Kingdom all the time through knowing the mind of Christ.

I believe that the “Crown” is given to those that come into this revelation in this season. Its where the Lord says ” For those who overcome I will give them the right”. We have the right to VICTORY. This is where we have life, this is where the fruit is.Hebrew 1556(galal). This word is where the Greek word Golgotha comes from. Golgotha means “the place of the skull,” speaking of the mind. This is where we need to have the mind crucified.

The book of revelation will be opened in a greater dimension and who you are in Christ.

As the Church changes “The Mind” we will partake of greater fruit and that fruit will enable us to be able to see others healed.

We will have “HIS NAME” on our foreheads, and see his face, and just as in Revelation 19. ” He had a name written that no one knew except himself” and so it will be with us. We will have “His Name” written on us and be branded.

We will have this same ability just as our LORD,to “Tread the wine-press in the fierceness and wrath of the Almighty God and be the rod of iron that we might rule the nations” We will have the authority through Him to conquer,to overcome, to see the treading of all sickness and disease and tread on these things with our feet, to see mighty healings. That all things will be possible.

The fruit on the trees in revelation were for the healing of the Nations, this is not just about you, it is about the Kingdom.

-The book of revelation will be opened in a greater dimension and who you are in Christ.

-The river that is running down from heaven is to cleanse us.

-This is where we come into the Holy Of Holies, the awe of The Lamb and the mighty King!

-This is where we reign as Kings and Priests with God and the Lamb.

-Where is your mind? What do you meditate on? Are you awake Church?

“COME” the Spirit and the Bride say “COME” your reward is “The Crown and the right to the tree of Life”

” I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIGHT/LIFE”

Jeremiah 1:11
Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see a branch of an almond tree.”

Job 29:19
My root is spread out to the waters,And the dew lies all night on my branch

THIS IS WHERE HIS CROWN MEETS YOURS

Genesis 41:32
“And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
(NKJ)

Blessings! A few weeks ago I had two of the same dream, one on a Tuesday night and one on a Wednesday night.

In my first dream I saw Prophet Mike. He had his bible opened up and he was unveiling things in scripture. The anointing behind the word carried such a weight of beauty and I could feel the purity of what was being released. There was also a high level of promise and confidence behind the word as well.

The next night I had the same dream. After the second dream, when I woke up, I didn’t tell anyone. I wanted to see if the LORD would give me a third dream; however, He only gave me the two. I wondered why the LORD gave me two of the same dream two nights in a row, but I realized that Dad was definitely showing me something that He is beginning to establish within His children.

2 Corinthians 13:1
This will be the third time I am coming to you. “By the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.”
(NKJ)

The two dreams were two witnesses of something that the LORD is getting ready to establish and bring to pass within His people. I began to see that the dreams were prophetically speaking of an apostolic generation that is appearing. The revelation that these men and women will release will be at its purist. They will be wholly yoked to Jesus and will have dealt with worldly desires that corrupt the bond, they will be fully dead to self because they will always carry within them the dying of the LORD so that His life and witness can manifest wherever they go! They will have their trust embedded in Christ. They will be a people of honor, loyalty and integrity, and they will prepare the way and bring the harvest into the fullness of Christ. Not only are they the bride, but they are also sons of God. What the bride is to her husband is what a son is to his father, and that is being a visible manifestation and glory of Him in the earth to bring all nations to Himself!

In the dream, the revelation that Prophet Mike was releasing carried the fullness of promise and confidence. When we move into that realm of the apostolic as a true son and a true bride, we will not speak on our own authority, but from the Fathers. We will give witness to the things we have heard and seen, not just because we want to share revelation, but because the Father has charged us to speak what He has given us. We will fully speak from what we see and hear from the Father and what is released will surely come to pass. The sign that we fully speak from what we see and hear from the Father will be that the LORD will not allow anything we speak to fall to the ground, but he will establish our thoughts and confirm the word that we release!

I also thought that is was significant that Prophet Mike was reading from an opened book (bible)

According to Revelation 5:1-10 the lamb that was slain (Jesus) was the only one worthy to loose the seals to unlock the things hidden with the books. We are those books! We are the living epistles to be read by all men!

We can see the ultimate example of what an apostolic people will look like within Christ.

John 12:49-50
49 “For I have not spoken on My own authority; but the Father who sent Me gave Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.
50 “And I know that His command is everlasting life. Therefore, whatever I speak, just as the Father has told Me, so I speak.”
(NKJ)

We also see it within Samuel

1 Samuel 3:19
So Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.
(NKJ)

1 Samuel 9:6
6 And he said to him, “Look now, there is in this city a man of God, and he is an honorable man; all that he says surely comes to pass. So let us go there; perhaps he can show us the way that we should go.”
(NKJ)

We also see this character within Moses

I Kings 8:56-61
56 “Blessed be the LORD, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He promised. There has not failed one word of all His good promise, which He promised through His servant Moses.
57 “May the LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers. May He not leave us nor forsake us,
58 “that He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, which He commanded our fathers.
59 “And may these words of mine, with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near the LORD our God day and night, that He may maintain the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel, as each day may require,
60 “that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD is God; there is no other.
61 “Let your heart therefore be loyal to the LORD our God, to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day.”
(NKJ)

Notice that in verse 57, the cry of the people was “May the LORD our God be with us, as He was with our fathers!’

And we see it with the apostles in Jesus’ day.

Mark 16:20
And they went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word through the accompanying signs. Amen.
(NKJ)

The Father wasn’t just working with such forerunners for no reason, but these men carried the witness of God. They were containers for Emmanuel!

Matthew 1:23 “Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.”

The privilege of  this end time people is not about attaining the title of an apostle or apostolic, but to be the true Bride and a true Son who will be a container that will carry Immanuel “God with (in) us.” This is not an overnight anointing. It is something that is appearing within a people who fully embrace the call of God in their life.

Proverbs 16:3 Commit your works to the LORD, and your thoughts will be established.

The word for commit used here is the word, Hebrew 1556(galal). This word is where the Greek word Golgotha comes from. Golgotha means “the place of the skull,” speaking of the mind. Christ was crucified at Golgotha and we are to take up our cross and do likewise. There has to be a crucifixion of mindsets that prohibit us from carrying the mind of Christ. There has to be a crucifixion of our agenda, our wants, and our desires so that His thoughts can be established and fixed within us. When the Body of Christ deals with her mindsets, she will move into that apostolic mandate to carry the mind of Christ and release His nature in the earth!

There’s going to be an eruption,
And you’d better be ready,
Standing on the Word,
Rock solid and steady.

You’ve had all this time,
To gather the information,
But information wont cut it,
It must now become revelation.

Like a waterfall erodes,
The earth as it rushes,
My Word cuts and cleans,
All that it touches.

And I’m now going to move,
Like I’ve never, ever done,
I’m ready to claim My folk,
I’m ready, to reveal My Son

Last month on April 12th, 2010, I received a phone call in the morning from my sister, and all I recall her saying was “Dad is dying and you better come. He might not make it by the time you get here.” At that moment all I could respond was, “I’m on my way.” which meant a two hour drive from downtown Pasadena to Victorville in the high desert.

As I grabbed my things, I remembered that nothing is impossible for the Lord and I said “God, if my dad doesn’t know you, please don’t take him home yet.” I called all the intercessors I knew from New York to California and we all began to pray. Some how I made it to Victorville in one hour just in time for my dad to go into a code blue status. But we all kept praying . It got very touch and go because my dad is 84 years old.

He made it out of the code blue but was now in a coma. They took my dad into ICU and said we don’t know if he’ll make it thru the night. They could not tell the degree of damage he had taken or if he would be able to speak or walk for that matter. So I called Pastor Mike and I asked him if he would come and pray for my dad. The hospital allowed him to come and pray and before he entered the room, I explained to Pastor Mike that my dad was in a coma state and that we were not sure if he could hear us. On top of that, I mentioned that my dad only spoke Spanish!

Pastor Mike entered the room in ICU at 10:00pm that evening and he began to pray for my dad in English. As he prayed, my dad started to move his body… this was incredible because he was in a coma state! Then Pastor spoke to him (in English) and said “Mr. Baro if you can hear me and you have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, squeeze my Hand.” And my dad squeezed Pastor Mike’s hand!

I was now busy jumping and rejoicing on what our Lord had done with my father. And the fact that my dad understood and doesn’t even speak English was unbelievable as well. My dad made it and is doing great today. The power of prayer when people believe and come together is awesome. God is still doing miracles. I thank the Lord for his faithful servants.

On April 3rd, my sisters in Christ car pooled to hear Pastor Mike speak. It was my first time hearing Pastor Mike and God was in the building! How great I thought! I wanted my very close friend Lori Larson to be healed, so I was really praying for her, as we stood together hand in hand while the Lord used Pastor Mike to see and heal people at the alter. Shortly after that, Lori’s leg began to shake! She said, “The Lord is healing my Leg” and it started to grow! (Lori has had multiple problems in her back, legs, etc.) We where all so excited. Tears of joy came running down my face.

Much, much later that night, after the service had ended, my two sisters ” Rose” and “Diana” where speaking to Pastor, and I was just standing back. It was so late and I didn’t want to bother this man of God with my wants. But I got up the courage to ask him to pray for my neck and my lower back. I had been in three car accidents, and I also had Degenerative disc disease of the cervical and of the spine, arthritis, and facet disease. Besides daily medications, I would get painful epidural injections and facet blocks 3 times a year. This was my life. I had a real hard time turning my head and trying to tilt it back and forth. What was scary was waking up in the morning and not being able to turn my head or lift it up off the pillow. I’d actually have put my hands on my ears to move my head! Well the Lord changed all that! As I said it was late, most of the people had left the church. I had asked Pastor Mike to pray for me, he placed his hand on the back of my neck, down I went. I got up but I didn’t feel anything, until 10 minutes later while standing in the back lobby… The Lord started to heal my neck! I said “Rose! I am in pain! My neck hurts real bad! I want to pop a pain killer!” She said,” No Jo Ann, it’s God!” I realized this pain was not the same pain that I was used to. It burned, it hurt, it was as though God was doing surgery on me and without the anesthesia. But God never gives us anything we can’t handle. We drove home, and the Lord let me fall asleep. I awoke without any pain. I am so thankful and grateful to the Lord and to you Pastor Mike.

And another testimony, Pastor Mike spoke a word to me from the Lord. He said that I would be coming into an “Oasis”. I really didn’t know what He meant. Until the Lord had brought Pastor John, sister Rose and sister Diana together at my home on May 1st. God refreshed and renewed us as husband and wife. Our little group was my Oasis! We all spent a beautiful day together worshiping and praising God. He also has started healing my husband “Tom’s” back too! Tom could not bend and touch his toes but now he can! My husband is doing better and better everyday. Thank You Father God.

The Innisfail group of Forerunners went on a weekend camp, with Prophet Joey Marinelli from the US, up into the high places to worship the Lord; and man, was it good or what!

The journey up into the Atherton Tablelands was enjoyable as we experienced the clean fresh air. But it was nothing compared to the experiences that started almost from the moment we arrived.

The first thing we noticed was an incredible sense of spiritual cleanliness. I actually felt as if a band of angels had gone before us to clean the place out ready for our arrival, and I voiced this to several people. And, surprise, surprise, many felt the same way. You will not convince me that this did not happen. The sense of angelic presence was beyond doubt or question for me.

And this was not our only encounter with angels. Many felt their presence throughout the camp. On the Sunday morning, during worship, the last session of the camp, I audibly heard angels singing with us. And, yes it’s true, many others did too. I’m not the kind of guy that gets carried away with this sort of thing, but I know I heard those voices and I sensed angels around me several times during this camp.

Another thing that happened several times were waves of spontaneous worship with an indescribable sense of freedom and joy. We would be singing along, worshipping and just loving God, when a wave of emotional love, joy and praise seemed to hit everyone at the same time. It was an awesome experience that I’ve only felt in worship a few times, but it happened at nearly every worship session of this weekend..

Now, of course, one can always argue that this was just emotional enjoyment getting carried away. But then, you’d have to argue with twenty five other people and you’d be arguing against the Holy God, who performed all of the other miraculous signs and wonders that happened as well.

Two people were miraculously delivered of nicotine addictions at this camp. And these deliverances within themselves contained signs and wonders. I’ll let them tell their own testimonies, but in one case an intense pain in the ankle was healed as the deliverance from smoking took place. If you don’t believe that cigarettes affect your ‘walk”, then maybe you’d better think again.

One young girl had a back injury that was causing considerable pain. Within ten minutes of being prayed for, all pain was gone. One young lady had bad migraines, and has suffered with them for years, and prayer relieved the pain and brought more improvement than she’s felt for a long time.

Another young girl was experiencing a high fever and was visibly quite unwell with pain and flu type symptoms. Prayer did not bring instant relief, but seeing as we were about to enter a worship session I felt the Lord impress something upon me. I shared that worship was a spiritual weapon that we could use to our advantage. I remembered Apostle Mike once telling me that if I wanted breakthrough in my life, I needed to dance before the Lord, so I encouraged all to keep this young lass in their hearts as they worshipped. In effect, let’s worship the miracle into place.

The girl’s dad checked on her a little later and reported her to be “A1 and full of cheek.” In other words, totally recovered.

And the greatest part of many of these signs and wonders was that they did not all come from the laying on of hands. They happened as prophet Joey released the Word of Truth.

Gold manifested on several people and there was an incredible sense of lightness, joy and freedom. To say that the attitudes and sincerity of the people was changed in a new and fresher way would just be a wild understatement.

Blessings

A quick message to share.

On Sunday the 2nd of May as I was in worship when the Lord showed me a vision.

I saw volcanoes and they were underground and around our nation and surrounding nations as well. The volcanic lava was boiling and very hot. I then saw that the points of these volcanoes started to pierce the top of the soil and were breaking forth.They were in strategic position.

The Lord said-

” Tell my people to get ready for there is about to be a volcanic eruption. There is about to be a breaking forth. Get ready for the ambers of the overflow, get ready for the charge, get ready for the prophetic voices for they are about to be released, and the Lord says, for surely they are about to be released.

“WHO WILL STAND AT THE SHAKING OF MY WORD?” “WHO WILL STAND AT THE PRONOUNCEMENT OF MY TRUTH?” I am calling forth the REFORMERS, I AM CALLING FORTH MY REFORMERS TAKE YOUR PLACE AND GET READY TO TAKE THE LAND!

Bless you,

Alexnadra

This is a testimony that fully confirms the prophetic Word released by Apostle Michael Petro on the 4 May 2010 (click here to read it).

I am writing this testimony on the morning of 5 May 2010, the morning after a breakout of perfumed oil and miraculous signs and wonders in our church; a satellite church under Apostle Michael, in Innisfail, North Queensland, Australia.

Last night, during our praise and worship, my wife, Pastor Giovanna, noticed what she first thought was large pieces of glitter on one of the brick pillars of the church. She went closer to have a look and saw that it was moist. She ran her hand over it and found it to be perfumed oil breaking out on the pillar. She called my daughter over to see it and in no time at all many were running their hands in the perfumed oil.

We know that pillars are the Apostles in the church and there is no doubt that this is full confirmation that as Apostle Michael was releasing his prophetic Word, God was confirming it supernaturally on the other side of the world. Taking time differences into account, as close as we can tell, on both sides of the world God was saying the same thing at exactly the same time.

But it gets better and even more confirmed as we look at the other events that happened last night, and during the few weeks preceding it.

Several weeks ago, Pastor Tim Duda, visiting Australia with his wife Kari from the USA, experienced a bout of illness that involved some quite intense pain in the digestive track. The Lord gave me a word to say that this was Him, telling us that the body was not digesting the food correctly.

Guys, we can read the Word from daylight to dark, we can get all the information that the Scriptures will willingly offer up to us; but if it isn’t changing us, we are just information gatherers not revelation receivers. The milk, bread and meat of the Word must be digested to the point of its nutritional value being absorbed into our spirits; bringing change, health and growth.

I shared this Word with Timmy, laid hands upon him for healing and he was instantly healed. We took this as confirmation that we had to start interceding for this body to start digesting the food, not just swallowing it whole. The digestive process starts with chewing the food properly in the mouth; rumination of the word.

Two weeks later, Timmy again shared with Giovanna and I that the discomfort in the digestive track had returned and had been upon him for a couple of days. Again I felt the Lord saying that we now had to take this to a new level and release a Word to the body that we MUST now come to the place of allowing ourselves to be cleansed by the washing of the Water of the Word. Again, we prayed for Timmy, who was unable to eat or drink comfortably and certainly had to avoid acid food or soft drinks, and he was instantly healed. We enjoyed a very unhealthy, junk food lunch (we were on the road and eating on the run) and he enjoyed a soda pop with his.

At the next Sunday service, Giovanna received a Word from the Lord that He was ready to start to bring deliverance and healing to the body. That Sunday was awesome as God used Giovanna to minister in His anointing and there were deliverances and healings happening right there and then. The process had begun.

The next Sunday, Timmy released a Word to the body from Hebrews 12 about receiving the chastisement of God as a good spiritual experience and I spoke to the body about digesting the Word in a healthy manner.

Then Prophet Joey arrived in Australia (from the USA), one week ago, with the Word of the Lord burning into him; “clean the house”. And of course, we all need to see that this is all happening straight after the Feast of Passover, the Feast of Unleavened Bread and Feast of First Fruits; a time during which the Hebrews remove the yeast from the house. And it’s during the time of counting the Omer when the grain and tares are separated.

We then spent a week where several things started to come to the surface within the body; including in the lives of Giovanna and myself. And here is a major point, leadership is not exempt; in fact, we come first. If the leaders of the movement are not prepared to be cleansed by the word, how can they expect anyone else to be.

A personal note here from Giovanna and I is that we rejoice and thank our Lord that Joey is here with us at this time. His spiritual leadership, his humble attitude and his fantastic discernment has seen blessing and deliverance start to break out in Innisfail, at exactly the same time that Michael starts to declare it over in America.

The long and the short of it all is that a spirit of disunity and division was exposed within the body and we were able to see that God could not move here as He desired. It’s no wonder Joey arrived in Australia with the God ordained task of cleaning the House.

Joey was then shown by God that there were problems in leadership on two faces. First, leadership was weak and in need of encouragement and building. Giovanna and I confess this to be true and submit to the process of having our house cleaned. Secondly, there was an undermining, a distrust of and even an active spirit working against leadership. Time to clean house.

Several things were addressed and there was an instant response from God at last night’s service. We’ve already told of the oil breaking out on the pillars, but there is more; much more.

As the praise and worship was flowing, and before the oil appeared, I felt the Lord drag me by my shirt collar out into the driveway of the church. The words that the body was singing were “You wont relent until You have it all.” And I heard God say into my spirit, “I will not relent, Graham, until I have it all.”

I believed then, as I believe now, that God was saying that the ‘all’ was Innisfail. I told Him I knew, but He pushed me further and repeated Himself, “I wont relent, Graham, until I have it all.”

I again told my Father that I understood that and I wanted that too.

But he confronted me again, “You don’t understand, I WONT relent until I have it all.”
I then understood what the Lord was telling me. Yes, He wants Innisfail, just as He wants Dallas and California. But what He is not going to relent on, is us. Our Father is going to push us relentlessly into a washing of the Water of the Word until we are clean enough for Him to use for His purpose of claiming these places. He will not relent on us in the purifying process until He has it all completed and can use us for His glory and Kingdom.

I returned from the outside driveway convinced of what I had just heard and was instantly told about the perfumed oil breaking out on the columns. The worship that followed was amongst the most joyous and wonderful worship I have ever experienced. My wife came over to me and said, “Now that we have started to uproot Jezebel in our midst, the Lord will give us breakthrough.” She was certainly right.

And so you could imagine the confusion when at the end of it, Timmy collapsed in great pain and discomfort grabbing his chest.

He called to Joey and said that he really needed prayer because he had pulled something in his chest and he was struggling to breath. I went over and the pain was written all over his face, the man was very unwell. Joey led Timmy over to a clear area and laid him on the ground while he kept praying for him. I followed, thinking that at any time now I would be ringing an ambulance (some of that weakness that needs cleaning from this leader).

As we knelt over Timmy, he was telling us that it felt like the artery was being torn from his heart. He was not talking with ease and he was looking as if he was in serious trouble. But our Lord is still the Lord of Lords and very much in control.

The Lord then reminded me of what Pastor Giovanna had said and He clearly spoke. I reminded Timmy about the digestive track and told him this was the enemies uprooting. I told him that the Lord was saying he no longer needed to suffer this pain because the enemy had been pulled out and he could rise healed in Jesus name.

As I write this I still can not believe the way that man came off the floor. Not only was he totally and instantly healed, but he was supernaturally hauled off that floor right before Joey’s and my eyes. He literally bounced to his feet faster than I could believe.

Please, after you have read this testimony, witnessed by the church of Innisfail, go back and see how it completely lines up with the word just released by Apostle Michael (click here to read it). And it was released in America at the same time all of this was happening in Australia.

Blessings

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has been telling me to get ready for the greatest healing movement ever to be seen! It’s at the door! In the Spiritual realm it will be like a tsunami that will sweep across the nations with apostolic miracles, signs and wonders. Nothing has ever been seen like it before and nothing will ever be seen like it ever again. Get ready, get ready, get ready!

Those of you who have been preparing your heart and seeing what is happening are going to come into the favor of God. Those who have had a mocking spirit will be ashamed for the words that have left their mouth. It will be like a snare that has trapped them in a place of destruction and persecution from the enemy.

It’s also time for the saints to cast their nets on the waters of harvest. For those who have been diligent with the Word of God they will see a great harvest with their families, loved ones and friends. It’s now time for the power, blessings and provision of God to be released on the faithful.

Deut 28:2 And all these blessings shall come on you and overtake you, if you will listen to the voice of the LORD your God.

The Lord is also telling me that there are those who are religious who will be turned over to a reprobate mind. They are un-teachable mockers who feel they are always right, when in reality they are self centered, selfish, and prideful. They are false apostles, prophets and pastors. There time is over and the Lord is saying “My Spirit will not always strive with man.” Dad is getting ready to send them a strong delusion. In 2 Thessalonians 2:11, Paul speaks of this delusion that God sends because of their hard hearts. These men will take God’s grace and try to use it to let everyone into the kingdom, but they will only lead the sheep who are lazy and not willing to pay the price. The foolish virgins said to the wise “give” us some of your oil, the wise said “buy” it! There is a price to pay for this last move.

We will also see some of the strongest demonic activity ever seen. Demons that have been chained will now be released for this great battle, but this battle will be with God’s Generals, His new Apostolic government. These Fathers have been built for war and will bring the war to the enemy. Get ready saints, you won’t get another chance, its all about to change!!!! The oil is being poured out on the sons of the prophets, so go and get the vessels… it’s time to fill them [2 Kings 4:3].

Don’t worry about the faith robbers or those who will try to steal your joy in this feast season; God is looking for those who are the sons of Issachar, they know that the time is now and want to step into this new season of Spiritual prosperity.

1Ch 12:32 And from the sons of Issachar, men who had understanding of the times…

Things will begin to intensify from Pentecost (May 23. 2010) until 2012 but in this time of change there is going to be a new anointing, a gold anointing for those who are selling out and preparing for this great harvest. New names will begin to emerge that will have a new trumpet sound, the mysteries and secrets of the Kingdom will begin to be released in a new dimension and those who fear will be rejected, like Gideon’s army. Mount up church, it’s your finest hour, with big battles come even bigger spoils of war.!!! The Nephilim know we are coming and will rattle there swords and shields. Rise up Joshua and Caleb for this battle is the test of our metal and our finest hour.

Eph 3:8-10 8 This grace is given to me (who am less than the least of all saints) to preach the gospel of the unsearchable riches of Christ among the nations,  9 and to bring to light what is the fellowship of the mystery which from eternity has been hidden in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ;  10 so that now to the rulers and powers in the heavenlies might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God…

Michael Petro

UPDATE: This word about oil pouring forth was confirmed within 3 hours of it being posted on our website, at one of our satellite churches in Australia. Here is what they said on Facebook (and note that Pillars speak of Apostles):

Amanda Heston said “And Pr Mike, guess what else!!! Guess what happened tonight!! As we were worshipping at the beginning of the meeting, Giovanna noticed something on one of the columns. It was OIL!!! and as we touched it, a beautiful perfumed aroma filled our noses… it was a sweet smelling aroma. We all had the oil on our hands from touching the pole. Perfumed oil. Amen!! Signs and wonders are happening again, just like when we first came out of TOYA. And I know they are going to increase… as the unity, love, submission, dying to self is walked out. Just wanted to share, as we were so excited!”

Giovanna Insley said “The droplets on the columns shined like large pieces of glitter I could see it from afar even without my glasses on lol!! so I went and had a closer look to see what it was, I then saw that it was like droplets of water, so I ran my hands over it and felt that it was oil, I couldn’t believe it, so I called my daughter over to feel it and she ran her … hand over it and yes it was oil, lol! oh wow just wonderful to experience it first hand… then many walked over to touch it and a fragrance was pouring forth, a sweet smelling aroma… needless to say an outbreak of absolute joyous worship broke out of the church..what a priviledge it was to be in the House of God…”

Graham Insley – Read his testimony here: http://www.forerunnertv.com/more/testimonies/890

As I have been going to hear Pastor Mike in Victorville California, each time I have been going the Lord has been healing me one thing at a time. I have terminal diseases as well as many other things wrong with me which have caused me to be very sick and weak. My back and neck had every disc damaged and I was looking at a life in a wheelchair. I also had scoliosis and my left leg was shorter than my right. The first time I went I started to feel stronger. The second time I went my leg grew! The third time I went my back was completely healed! And He continues to strengthen me as I read the Word. He doesn’t always heal people all at once. Sometimes it is a process. I have been sick for a very long time and on the verge of death more times than people would believe but I am hear to tell you Jesus is alive and working miracles. I am living proof!

THE GOLDEN BARLEY BOWL

Alexandra Bekiaris
Perth Western Australia
April 2010

I saw the angel of the Lord and he offered me a bowl. Inside of  the bowl was Golden Barley.

” Here, take this,” he said, “I am offering this to you.”

I stared at the bowl; it was Golden and full, so why was the Angel Of he Lord giving me this bowl, I thought? Was I to eat of it? What did it mean? Why the golden Barley? So I began my study. The Barley and the wheat represent two different things:

There is the harvest of Passover (Barley)
There is the harvest of Pentecost (Wheat)

Barley in the Hebrew is the word Orah. Here is the definition.

8175; sa ar; to storm, to shiver, come to take away as a “Whirlwind”, be tempestuous.

Numbers  5.15 Then the man shall bring his wife to the priest. He shall bring the offering required for her, one-tenth of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering of jealousy, an offering for remembering, for bringing iniquity to remembrance.

Deuteronomy 8.77 For the LORD your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills; 8 a land of wheat and barley, of vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive oil and honey;

Ruth 1.22 So Naomi returned, and Ruth the Moabitess her daughter-in-law with her, who returned from the country of Moab. Now they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.

2Samuel 17.27-30 Now it happened, when David had come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the people of Ammon, Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim, 28 brought beds and basins, earthen vessels and wheat, barley and flour, parched grain and beans, lentils and parched seeds, 29 honey and curds, sheep and cheese of the herd, for David and the people who were with him to eat. For they said, “The people are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness.”

2Samuel 21.9 And he delivered them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the hill before the LORD. So they fell, all seven together, and were put to death in the days of harvest, in the first days, in the beginning of barley harvest.10 Now Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock, from the beginning of harvest until the late rains poured on them from heaven. And she did not allow the birds of the air to rest on them by day nor the beasts of the field by night

2 King 4.42-44 Then a man came from Baal Shalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley bread, and newly ripened grain in his knapsack. And he said, “Give it to the people, that they may eat.” 43 But his servant said, “What? Shall I set this before one hundred men?”He said again, “Give it to the people, that they may eat; for thus says the LORD: ‘They shall eat and have some left over.’”44 So he set it before them; and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the LORD.

Revelation 6.6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four living creatures saying, “A quart[a] of wheat for a denarius,[b] and three quarts of barley for a denarius; and do not harm the oil and the wine.

Here are a list of Hebrew words that speak of wheat.

(bar) and it means  bar;borrowed, from 1305, in the sense of winnowing; grain of any kind(even while standing in the field)

(dagan) increase, grain ;- corn, wheat, corn-flour

(chittah) wheat grain or plant

(riyphanas) pounded;ground corn,wheat

(sitos) any hard grain in which is the hard seed of any cereal plant;especially wheat.

Genesis 30.14 Now Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.”

Exodus 34.22 “And you shall observe the Feast of Weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the year’s end.

Ruth 2.23 So she stayed close by the young women of Boaz, to glean until the end of barley harvest and wheat harvest; and she dwelt with her mother-in-law.

2 Samuel 17.28 Now it happened, when David had come to Mahanaim, that Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the people of Ammon, Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo Debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim, 28 brought beds and basins, earthen vessels and wheat, barley and flour, parched grain and beans, lentils and parched seeds, 29 honey and curds, sheep and cheese of the herd, for David and the people who were with him to eat. For they said, “The people are hungry and weary and thirsty in the wilderness.”

Proverbs 27.22 Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with crushed grain,Yet his foolishness will not depart from him.

Joel 2.24 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat,And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.

Revelation 18.13 The threshing floors shall be full of wheat,And the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.

When Israel entered into the promised land they were commanded to keep the “Feast Day Of The sheaf Of Firstfruits“. It involved the harvest period under passover and Penticost. It could not be kept in the wilderness as that was a place of wondering, and feeding on the manna from heaven. It was not a place of harvest or feeding on the fruit of the land (Joshua 5.10-12)

The Custom-

The standing ripe harvest,barley and wheat, would soon be reaped. A person would go to the standing harvest,take one sheaf and bring it to the priest. The lone sheaf was called ” the sheaf of First fruits” The priest would take the one sheaf and wave it before the Lord in his house. A sheaf in scripture is generally used to typify a person or persons. Joseph dreamed a dream where he saw sheaves bow down to his sheaf. This was a prophetic picture of the days ahead where his brothers would bow down to him in repentance in the appointed time. (Genesis 37.5-11)

In Psalm 126 it speaks of the sower going forth to sow in tears. He then comes back in the harvest time bringing his sheaves with him. This is a prophetic picture that could be applied to the Lord Jesus Christ himself. He is the Lord of the HARVEST. In HIS first coming he went as the weeping precious seed and in his second coming he will rejoice in the harvest time bringing all his sheaves with him. These are the redeemed souls which bare fruit.

The first fruits were the BEST, and the first fruits were Holy unto the Lord (Exodus 13.12)

A. The firstborn of both man and beast were sanctified and presented to the Lord.

B. The First fruits of all the earth were to be presented to the Lord at His alter in Praise and thanksgiving.

Christ died and ROSE again!

He is the Firstborn of Mary (Matthew 1.23-25)
He is the First- begotten Of the Father (Hebrews 1.6)
He is the Firstborn from the dead. (Colossians 1.18)
He is the Firstborn among many.(Romans 8.28)
He is the First fruits of the resurrected ones. ( 1 Corinthians 15.20,23)
He is the First and the Last (Revelation 1.18)
He is the Beginning and the End (Revelation 1.8)

He was the firstborn and the “First fruits” unto the Father, he belonged to God, He was the sheaf of the first fruits!

The urgency of change

Dad I want to be running
with every awaking thought of you
with every breath Your on my mind
becoming what is true

Dad I want to be ready
running the race
not running in vain
but You leading my pace

Dad I don’t want you ever to leave me
I want every moment full of thoughts of You
I don’t care if I’m alone or lonely
because I know that you’ll pull me through

The more I seek Your face
and Your presence surrounds Me
I feel Your sweet embrace
and Your love, it astounds me

Oh! I feel like I’m not doing enough
for the love You deserve is what I want to show You
break through for the meat of the flesh is tough
and there’s parts of me that still don’t know You

Holy Spirit I need You like air
the urgency amongst my insanity
feeling a little bit of a scare
I don’t want to be running in vanity

The things of this world I hate
the snares and their traps anger my soul
yet parts of me still get entangled
in some ways I’m still a fool

Oh Lord come speak to the desolate places
rain on that land inside of me
I want to see everyone of your faces
full of holiness and purity.

Please in these next days and hours to come
fill me up more and more
in your heart I belong, the place that I’m from
I’m longing to now explore

take me back to what I once knew
to be within the Great I Am
I want to roar with the Lion of Judah
so I sacrifice my lamb

DADDY please love on your child
there are many You can send me to
kill the nature in me that is yet still wild
and try me in the fire just and true

refine me oh Holy Refiner
purify my heart
because if You are going to send me out
I need You in every part

every hidden place in me
deep calling unto deep
encircle me in your purity
in ashes and sackcloth I weep

Afflicting my soul to touch Your hand
dying to see Your face
in the hidden places I’ll find You
climbing Your staircase

I know I need to be giving more
doing more and dying more
oh help me my flesh is weak
the Spirit is willing, so Spirit please come
I’m lowly and I’m meek

Humble me, do whatever it takes
I won’t despise the days of small beginnings at hand
cause my earth to tremble and quake
and like an oak or a pillar, I’ll stand

yet like wheat bowing before you
for the time of harvest is near
the beginning of wisdom I desire
for only You Lord do I fear

Teach me more about your Glory
show me how to endure your kiss
yoke me with your holy staff
called to the mark, I do not want to miss

let every sunrise reveal your nature
and every sundown leave me in your rest
gather me like a hen gathers her young
and raise me up in your nest

feed me from your hand White Eagle
turn my feathers to gold
teach me to fly over the land
as my destiny is told

place the living water inside me
let the fire cause it to roar
and now like you White eagle
teach me how to soar.

Amen

Canaan – The Promised Land

Out of the desert and through the deep water

By faith and My Spirit, in truth will you conquer

Not looking back and with each step ahead

With strength through My word and courage you’ll tread

Out of the desert and onwards to Canaan

This time that befalls you is just for a season

They’ll be times when you’ll doubt what your eyes can’t yet see

But don’t be disuaded, just keep trusting Me

Out of the desert and through the deep water

Remember there’s nothing my Word cannot alter

When the wall seems too high and the water too deep

When the challenge too hard and the mountain too steep

Remember my Word which fashioned the earth

Which created your frame and predestined your birth

Remember there’s nothing that I cannot do

Just trust and obey and I’ll make a way through

Out of the desert and onwards to Canaan

Let steadfast persistance remain your companion

With eyes fixed towards the land filled with bread

Take heart my dear child…

That the best lies ahead

I pray you have a powerful transformation in this feast of Pentecost season.  I’m asking the churches and the saints that support this Ministry, to move into a season prayer and fasting as it is Pentecost season (please click here to read CORPORATE FAST EVERY MONDAY on our events page).  Why?  Because I believe we are moving into a critical transition into the next season of God’s plan. We are getting ready to see a major move released into an apostolic generation.

Recently I was reading a book by a Jewish brother on apostolic succession and I can see that the Holy Spirit is saying that the time is NOW. We will see the release of a new age, the age of the Kingdom of God.

Last week while I was shaving the Lord spoke to me the words ‘first fruits’.  I didn’t understand but then He gave me the interpretation.  “Tell my people this is a ‘first fruits season’ for the next move and I will honor those who bring me a First Fruits Offering of their best seed.”

I was excited by this but before I was done the Lord spoke to me again and said, “Wayland has something to ask you.” So I called my assistant Pastor Wayland and said to him, “The Lord told me you have something to ask me.  What is it?” His response was ‘Wow, you’re really hearing from the Lord!’ Then he told me that the Lord told him to ask me for my mantel, just as Elisha asked Elijah for his mantel.  He then went on to explain that the Lord told him that I was being taken up to the apostolic mantel and that my prophetic mantel would fall on those who were prepared. The Lord also spoke to him about bringing a ‘first fruits offering’ to receive the mantel.

I saw that this was a confirmation for what is getting ready to be released and to get as many people in as possible while the door is open.

So many things are happening this Pentecost season.  I’m seeing the anointing increase in waves of anointed power that are pulsing out of my hands during the praying for the sick.

I’ve noticed the miracles in the California meetings are at a different level and happening fast. Paralyzed and crippled saints are being healed by the power of the Holy Spirit! I’ve also been more aggressive to “work the miracle”.  In one such instance, this saint was resisting the prayer (because this individual had been prayed for previously and nothing had happened).  But I kept insisting that God wanted to heal this person.  Then the power of God hit and the healing miracle took place.  Hallelu-Yah!  No faith was involved on their part.

On another occasion I was asked to pray for a sister’s father who was in the hospital in a coma.  I went to the hospital and prayed.  He came out of his coma and woke up during the prayer!  He had just been in a code blue (cardiac arrest) a few minutes before. They expected him to die as the family was there paying their last visits. But when he woke up from the coma he got a visit from Jesus because he gave his life to Christ with me. These are great and powerful miracles and they all happened during the last 2 weeks; there is a ramping up and its moving fast.

I was just contacted by a Pastor friend of mine who told me that God spoke to him that revival is getting ready to hit the US shortly.  He told me he wants to come and stay for the next 6 months.  This man is married and has children.  The family is in agreement that he should come because they feel it also. As a matter of fact, a lot of people I’m coming into contact with are telling me ‘something is getting ready to happen’.  I would be afraid for you if you’re not hearing it!  This says something, for a brother to leave his family for 6 months. Another Pastor from Europe called me yesterday and also a bishop from Africa all with the same word… they want to come to the USA.  God is getting ready to do something with this Ministry that is big.

The Lord also said to me He is pruning the tree.  I thought initially that this was a cleansing process.  But He kept saying it to me so I realized a pruning also means the cutting off of a branch that is sucking life from the rest of the tree.  This pruning refers to people who aren’t willing to sell all to come into the kingdom.

James 5:1-5

1  Pay attention to this if you’re rich. Cry and moan about the misery that is coming to you.

2  Your riches have decayed, and your clothes have been eaten by moths.

3  Your gold and silver are corroded, and their corrosion will be used as evidence against you. Like fire, it will destroy your body. You have stored up riches in these last days.

4  The wages you refused to pay the people who harvested your fields shout to God against you. The Lord of Armies has heard the cries of those who gather the crops.

5  You have lived in luxury and pleasure here on earth. You have fattened yourselves for the day of slaughter.

I feel that now is the time to move into this next level of release and bring everything into the store house. The Bible is filled with examples of how God required His people to help in the release of His grace.

When grace (God’s provision) is released, so are His judgments! – Noah builds the ark (grace-God’s provision) and the people that get in are saved and the people that don’t get in are destroyed!  But those that got in, first needed to listen to the words of the prophet!

-        Moses tells God’s people put the blood of the lamb on the door posts. Those that did put the blood on the door posts were saved (grace-God’s provision) by the blood, but those that did not apply the blood were removed and killed!

So those that hear the prophetic word will be saved, but those that do not hear it (or obey it) will be judged.

Those are two major events but there are also minor ones and the pattern is always there in scripture.

Eph 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

Heb 4:2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

In both these scriptures we see that God’s provision must be acted upon! That is why I believe that when the Lord spoke the word ‘first fruits’ to my assistant Pastor and to myself, it is the ACTION ‘faith’ for the next release.

Another confirmation was the Lord woke me up the other morning and said, “Omar” so I was thinking ‘who is Omar?’ Then Pastor Jeff sent me an email (literally minutes later) saying that it was the beginning of the ‘counting of the omer’ in Israel. This word ‘omer’ also speaks of the 50-day countdown to Pentecost and also means the separating of the sheaves. The Lord is separating those that will come in and those that won’t, just like the parable of the wheat and the tares.

We are receiving a new release of what the Lord is saying in this new season. I know the time is now because the Lord is confirming so many things and quickly.

What the Lord is saying to me is this: “It’s time to bring a first fruits offering before the Lord, for a release of the prophetic mantel that is going to fall on those who will be released into this next season of ministry.”

The first fruit to the Jew’s and to the early church was for increase in blessings, health, and prosperity.  If the church would practice this offering it would keep the saints of God prospering in the things of God’s kingdom and in their personal life.  I also feel it will protect the saint and keep prosperity over the individuals in this very hard financial season that we are in.

I believe there will be those who will be moving into a prophetic anointing they never believed possible for themselves in these next few months.  The Lord is going to prepare the church over the next couple years until 2012 for the greatest move ever seen! Now is the time for the first fruits to join in by faith to show they are going to help build this last phase of the journey.

We are going to open a page on our web site called “Pledge Page” (Click HERE to visit Pledge page).  This is for those of you who want to be part of this offering. You will be able to put down the amount you want to pledge and the time frame.  I feel it’s important to have the pledge in before Pentecost.  But for those who need more time, I believe God’s grace is there.

The early church pledged 3% of the yearly harvest offering.  I feel this should be the minimum for those who want to be part of this release. The harvest was the yearly income of those who gave, so this would be 3% of the yearly wage before taxes because the Lord said that first fruit was the first part!  I also know for those who give more there will be a larger release for them.  We reap what we sow, and if we sow much then our harvest is larger. So please sow based upon the harvest you are expecting.  I know everyone is going to receive a harvest.

Most of you may know that I was in a car accident this past week.  I appreciate all the calls and prayers of those who have been praying and I want you all to know that Kenny and I are fine, thanks to the ongoing prayer chain.  It was just day break, early in the morning and we were driving from Dallas, Texas to Los Angeles, California for our weekly meetings, when Kenny fell asleep at the wheel.  We were both tired from the work that is going on right now.  The car went into the middle of the highway and hit the guardrails at 70 mph (112 km/h).  I woke up to see the metal and wires flying all round the car, windows busting and metal being ripped off the car.  I reached over and grabbed the steering wheel and pulled us out of the middle of the road back onto the highway and on to the other side.  I asked Kenny if he was alright and he was shaken but only with a few little scratches.  I didn’t even get a scratch in the whole incident! As a matter of fact everything slowed down for me and all I could feel was the peace of God.  I know that we were in the palm of His hand and that after looking at the car I could see Jesus kept us alive for something that is yet to come.  I felt the presence of angels around me as I stood in the middle of the highway.  Cars passed us and looked but no one stopped to help.  God was the only help we needed.  I felt the world pass us by – too busy to help those in need; but I also knew that God was my provider.  Soon the ambulance, fire trucks, and police came. They looked at the car torn in pieces and just shook their heads that we walked away.  I told the police officer I was a man of God and he smiled and said to me “you must be because you were protected”.

After walking away from that event I realized that if the Lord would have taken me home, the work I’ve been asked to do would have stopped.  Our time is so short on this earth.  I also realized that we need to accomplish as a body what the Lord has entrusted us with before we go on to be with our King. “To whom much is given, much is expected.”

This week has been extreme for me in the words that God is speaking and the finality of life. We are on the verge of doing so much.  I know we are being tested with our faith; do we really believe it’s time or are we going to be separated out (grace – separating of the sheaves).

The television in the next few weeks will begin to expand into the nations as well. Everything is coming at one time.  Please consider you’re offering prayerfully, happily, and generously, because you can never ‘out give’ DAD.  I know it’s a Jubilee for you and your family.

Blessings and Shalom,

Mike

I say greetings to all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. We are in exciting times in anticipation of the coming glory and I hope this letter finds you in preparation for it. I have been in a time of deep prayer and consecration and Dad has been revealing things to me that I believe are essential for us to understand in this season. A few years ago Dad revealed to me the transition of The Spirit of Elijah and what that would mean for our ministry. In 2 Kings 2 Elijah is making transitions in preparation for the time when he would be taken up to heaven in a whirlwind. Every place that Elijah came to he tells Elisha to stay there, but Elisha’s response was, “As the Lord lives and as your soul lives I will not leave you”. When you understand this in Hebrew he essentially said “As long as revival is in you I’m not going anywhere!” Then the scripture says, “And they both went on!”  WENT ON in Hebrew means they both began to walk out a message until they became the manifestation of that message! We must also remember too that when Elijah first came and threw his mantle on Elisha he was plowing his field with twelve teams of oxen and he was with the twelve! Twelve is a symbolic number of apostolic government, meaning Elisha was already preparing his field (heart) for the apostolic! When he became Elijah’s servant it means he became yoked to the spirit of Elijah that would take him to his apostolic destiny! Many of us who have become yoked to this ministry was because our destiny wasn’t to just move in the prophetic anointing of the spirit of Elijah but to also to lay hold of the apostolic anointing that would lead us to becoming the bride! Now we come to the final transition before Elijah is taken up. 2 Kings 2:7-8 reads like this:

2 Kings 2:7-8
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood facing them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan.
8 Now Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the water; and it was divided this way and that, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.

Here we find there are the sons of the prophets who watch from a distance while Elisha is transitioning with Elijah. We must ask ourselves where do we stand?  Will we be the sons of the prophets, those who are under the prophetic teaching of the spirit of Elijah but watch from a distance because they like the message but are not willing to pay the price to become the manifestation of the message? Elisha is a true son who not only follows a man, but understands that where the Spirit of Elijah goes is also his destiny as well. These are those who are willing to go the distance no matter the cost. Are we those who stand at a distance to see what will happen with Elijah or are we those who will stand the test and follow wherever the Lord will lead? When Elijah and Elisha arrived at the Jordan it was a place of transitioning over and taking dominion over sin. The point that is powerful here is that the word crossover is the word for Passover! That means that they transitioned at Passover! Passover was the time of being birthed out of limitations by dying to carnal mindsets. It’s an exodus out of one place and preparation to enter into something else. What happens next is the thrust of the prophetic decree The Lord would have me to release now.

II Kings 2:9-12
9 And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?” Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”
10 So he said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.”
11 Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” So he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces.

When they experienced Passover together, is when Elisha asked for the double portion of the spirit of Elijah. The firstborn sons are those who receive the double portion! Elisha was asking for his birthright! Elijah’s response was this is a hard thing, but if you see me go up then you can have it! To see in Hebrew doesn’t just mean to see with your eyes but to experience what you see! That means when the Elisha generation can enter into the same experience of Elijah they can receive their birthright. When Elijah was taken up by a whirlwind in a chariot of fire it is a picture of the prophetic mantle of Elijah transitioning to an apostolic mantle! When Elisha saw Elijah go up he called him father, father! He saw the transition of his spiritual father transition into an apostolic father. This Passover season The Lord said to me now is the time to ask for the double portion! I knew that meant that Elijah was going from a prophetic to an apostolic mantle. Pentecost was the release of the first apostolic mantle in the Book of Acts and this Pentecost will be the release of the next apostolic mantle. This time between the Passover to Pentecost is called the counting of the omer. It’s the countdown to the Feast of The Firstfruits Harvest (Pentecost)! The apostles were the firstfruits or the firstborn of the first apostolic movement and this Pentecost will be the release of the next apostolic release. The double portion goes to the firstborn and firstfruits comes from the word firstborn! This is for those who are willing to pay the price and step into their birthright! The firstfruits was the lump that was symbolic of what the whole harvest is to look like! What is coming is a preview of what the whole body will look like! Hebrews 12 lets us know that the church is the firstborn so this is something that we  all have to step into. It’s time for the church to arise to her birthright and claim back the authority in the heavenly realm that was given to us by Jesus.

As a prophetic act The Lord has instructed me to give a firstfruits offering to be a part of what’s coming and I believe this is for all of us. This offering is not just your money but it’s all of you! We give in prayer, fasting, studying of the word and giving of our time, energy and money to see this next move be released. The Lord said to me this offering will brings us out of debt and I am not afraid to decree it! The debt isn’t just money it’s the deception and bondage that the spirit of religion has put many of us in. Exodus 22 says when a thief is found he must restore double! The word found comes from word unleavened bread, which is the bread that is eaten at Passover. The Lord is saying that He is getting ready to restore double of what was released to the early church because through the mysteries of the kingdom we will take back what the thief has stolen! Double, Double. It is the abundant, overflowing, more than enough, excessive life of God that Jesus was talking about in John 10 “The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy but I have come to give you life and life more abundantly!” Get ready for the transition!

Shalom.

Pastor Wayland Henderson

In this encounter, I was getting so lost that i was feeling almost frightened with what I was experiencing. Suddenly, even though I was unconscious, I was in a state of semi conscious, and could hear my mind thinking ” I’m scared, where am I?”

I noticed before I got scared enough, and I realized, that I was in what seemed an eye. The eye contained so much color that it was almost like a whirlwind of color, and my spirit was getting vacuumed through this vortex of a pupil of an eye. I realized I was not in a normal eye; I was in the “THE EYE OF GOD”.

At first, I did not understand what this really meant. I soon found out that this year is the year of “The Eye” in the Hebrew calender.

So what does that mean?

Here is the definition of the word eye or Ayin in Hebrew.

The word (ayin 5869 in the strong’s concordance) means eye in all regular senses, but also as means of expression (knowledge, character, etc). The word ayin also means spring or fountain. The eye is one of four bodily “fountains,” the other three being mouth, skin and urethra (and only the mouth is not supposed to produce water outwardly). Transpiration releases the body of excessive heat; urine evaluates toxins, and the eye produces water commonly when grief or pain is processed. All have to do with cleansing or purification.

Here are some figurative Uses Of The Eye In The Scriptures

“One Thing I Do Know, That Although I Was Blind Now I Can See (John. 9:25).

The Physical Eye

“Every eye will see him” (Revelation 1:7).

The first instance of the eye in Scripture is simply as a physical organ, the organ of sight. When Job laments his condition to his friends, he says, “My eyes have grown dim with grief; my whole frame is but a shadow” (Job 17:7). The eye here reflects the oppression that the body feels.

Likewise, Jeremiah laments the fact that Judah will not listen to the warning from God and heed the judgment to come. “I will weep bitterly,” Jeremiah says, “and my eyes will overflow with tears because you, the LORD’s flock, will be carried into exile” (Jeremiah 13:17).

In Job’s case, the dim eye reflects the physical suffering, and in Jeremiah’s situation, the tears signal the spiritual sorrow the prophet has over stiff-necked Judah’s rejection of God’s grace. When the psalmist considers the evil and arrogance of those who will not bow to God, he speaks literally of their eyes bulging with fat (Psalms 73:7.151 and the writer of Proverbs writes, a mischievous person “winks” with his eyes, causing harm to others (Proverbs 10:10).

Conversely, those who call out to the Lord for help remain awake at night, with their eyes open (Psalms 77:4). Finally, when Christ returns, “every eye will see him” (Revelation 1:7). Even in his despair, Job knew that he would see his Redeemer at the end of time, “whom my own eyes will behold, and not another” (Job 19:27).

The certainty of Christ’s return is attested to by everyone’s seeing him with the eyes of their resurrected bodies. These, and many other such references in Scripture, begin with the eye as the organ of physical sight, but they often are extended to express the moral or spiritual attitudes of those they describe.

The Eye As An Indicator Of Character

“Why do you seek the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to see the beam of wood in your own?” (Matthew 7:3)

Often in Scripture, eyes indicate people’s character. Included in these uses are personality traits people possess, as well as their moral condition. As we might expect, the book of Proverbs comments frequently on the character of godly and ungodly people alike.

It is the charitable eye of the generous man that indicates his liberality (Proverbs 22:9) On the other hand, it is the miserly eye of the stingy man that describes his parsimony (Proverbs 23:6). For in Hebrew, the eye indicates the character of the man—in this case, either his generosity or his stinginess.

The humble man who is brought low is described in the book of Job as having downcast eyes (Job 22:29). In contrast, the arrogance of the proud man is portrayed in his “haughty eyes” (Proverbs 6:17). Like the tax collector in the Gospel (Luke 18:13), the humble man acknowledges his humility by looking down toward the ground, while the proud man lifts his eyes up in arrogance.

Indeed, the day will come when the proud will be brought low. Isaiah states that “the proud men will be brought low (literally, the eyes of the pride of man will be brought low), arrogant men will be humiliated” (Isaiah 2:11), and the psalmist asks that he not have “haughty” eyes (Psalms 131:1). Finally, the lustful women of Zion are said to “flirt…with their eyes” (Isaiah 3:16), while Job in contrast declares, “I made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I look lustfully at a virgin?” (Job 31:1).

Indeed, Christ teaches that adultery rests in the lustful look even before the act is committed (Matthew 5:27). In the Scriptures it is often in the eyes that the character is expressed.

A significant part of a person’s character is his moral condition,157 and in Scripture the eye often expresses the moral attitudes of a man. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus Christ uses the eye—whether it is full of light or darkness—as the symbol of the moral quality of a man’s heart (Matthew 5:23-24).

In Mere Christianity, C. S. Lewis compares even our feeble attempts at virtue to light and our “indulgence” in sin to “fog.” Also, in Joseph Conrad’s novella, Heart of Darkness, Marlow travels up the Congo River to find himself and, when he does, he sees that his heart is evil—a “heart of darkness” within, a heart that no civilized customs can finally sugarcoat or conceal. In our moral lives, we either serve God (light) or Satan (darkness).

When Christ speaks of hypocrisy and lack of forgiveness, he references the eye again in a classic hyperbole from the gospels, “Why do see the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to see the beam of wood in your own?”(Matthew 7.3) Peter speaks of false teachers who infiltrate the church as having “eyes full of adultery” (2 Peter 2:14).

The eyes truly are the “windows to the soul” in Scripture, exhibiting the condition of people’s moral character, and Christ often fingers his hearer’s moral condition with the image of the eye.

A final way the Scriptures use eyes is to indicate whether a person is inclined toward God or away from him. When God confirms Joshua as Moses’ successor he tells Joshua, “This very day I will begin to honor you before (literally, in the eyes of) all Israel so they will know I am with you just as I was with Moses” (Joshuah3:7). In effect, God aligns the spiritual attitudes of the Israelites with his own approbation of Joshua and his anointing of him for his role as leader of God’s people into the Promised Land. Jeremiah uses the eye to confront God’s people when they refuse to respond to the Lord’s gracious invitations; Jeremiah indicts them as people “who have eyes but do not discern” (Jeremiah 5:21).

They choose not to respond to God. In the gospels, Christ meets the spiritual needs of people, sometimes accompanying the spiritual healing by restoring sight to the blind as he does with the two blind men in Matthew’s Gospel. We should not be surprised at the association of restored physical sight with spiritual healing, for that is exactly what Christ promised to do early in his ministry in Nazareth (Luke 4:18).

At times the Scriptures speak of God’s hardening the hearts of people and causing them not to respond favorably toward his grace as their being blinded by God. Immediately after Isaiah sees the Lord “seated on a high, elevated throne” (Isaiah. 6:1), God tells him, “Make the hearts of these people calloused; make their ears deaf and their eyes blind” (Isaiah 6:10).

Through His prophet Isaiah God dulls the people’s understanding so that they do not respond to him in faith. “For Isaiah to declare faithfully what he knew to be so would not result in an admission of guilt and a turning to God. Rather, it would bring about a more adamant refusal to recognize need.” Later, God speaks to Isaiah of his people choosing of their own free will not to respond.

“They do not comprehend or understand,” God declares, “for their eyes are blind and cannot see; their minds do not discern” (Isaiah 44:18). The blind eye in these cases refers to the spiritually-dead person who will not respond to God in faith and gratitude.

On the other hand, God often prompts his people to respond to him in faith. In the dramatic story of Balaam and his donkey, “the LORD opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the LORD standing in the way with his sword drawn in his hand…” (Numbers 22:31).

Likewise, the Lord opens Elisha’s servant’s eyes so that he might see the “chariots of fire” all around him, protecting them from the enemy (2 Kings 6:17). God’s grace is likened to his opening the eyes of his people so they might see what he is doing for them.

The eyes in Scripture represent variously the character of a person, his moral condition, or his disposition toward or away from God. The writer of Proverbs reminds us, “The ear that hears and the eye that sees—the LORD has made them both” (Proverbs  20:12). We are responsible for how we use our eyes—that is, how we live our lives before the Lord.

The Eyes In Reference To God

“Look, the LORD takes notice of (literally, the eye of the LORD [is] toward) his loyal followers, those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness” (Psalms 33:18).

God’s omniscience extends beyond seeing mere physical presence; however, God’s sight includes knowledge of the inner thoughts and motives of all people. He knows the nations; for instance, and foresees their plans  He does not allow the “stubborn rebels” to “exalt themselves” against him (Psalms 66:7). God superintends international affairs in his sovereignty, “watching” the nations throughout history. Likewise, he turns the king’s heart in the way he wishes, thereby effecting his sovereign will in international affairs (Proverbs 21:1). God’s eyes on the nations lead him to judge them and even affect and control their decisions.

As he knows the nations, God also knows individual people. God knows their innermost thoughts. “The eyes of the LORD guard knowledge,” the writer of Proverbs states (Proverbs 22:12), and He sees if there are any offensive or evil thoughts in us (Psalms 139:24).

In these illustrations, God’s eyes represent His righteous judgment of sinful people and nations. His eyes represent his pure justice in the affairs of men. The adulterer is foolish if he thinks God does not see him (Job 24:15), but the righteous enjoy God’s sight, for “Look, the LORD takes notice of (literally, the eye of the LORD [is] toward) his loyal followers, those who wait for him to demonstrate his faithfulness” (Psalms 33:18).

In fact, all living things—whether they know it or not—look to God for their needs to be satisfied: “Everything looks to you in anticipation, and you provide them with food on a regular basis,” the psalmist declares (Psalms 145:15). God’s providential care of all people is signified by His eye watching over them.

When it comes to discerning evil, it is God’s omniscient eyes that search it out. “The eyes of the Lord are in every place,” the writer of Proverbs states, “keeping watch on those who are evil and those who are good” (Proverbs 15:3). God distinguishes between right and wrong, and in His sovereign wisdom leads both evil and good people for his purposes.

From the beginning He knows the evil of His people. When He warns them not to turn to idols, He states, “After you have produced children and grandchildren and have been in the land a long time, if you become corrupt and make an image of any kind and do other evil things before the LORD your God (literally, in the eyes of the LORD), you will quickly perish from the land” (Deuteronomy 4:25). God searches out the evil of His people for their own good, that they may prosper in the Promised Land and enjoy His eternal blessings.

God speaks through the prophet Isaiah telling His people to “remove [their] sinful deeds from [His] sight” (Isaiah 1:16). It is His eyes that discern the evil and warn His people against it; He does not wish so much as to look on their sin. When God wishes to bless His people and forgive their sins, however, He promises that their past sins will be “hidden from [His] eyes” (Isaiah 65:16, MT)—in other words, forgotten entirely. Forgiveness is as if God cannot see the sins of His people; He removes His people’s sins from before His eyes and “sees” them no more.

God’s omniscience is associated with His eyes in the descriptions that Zechariah and John use to symbolize the glorious Lord, especially in His office as redeemer. When the Lord graciously cleanses Joshua to serve as high priest, he announces, “‘As for the stone I have set before Joshua – on the one stone there are seven eyes. I am about to engrave an inscription on it,’ says the Lord who rules over all, ‘to the effect that I will remove the iniquity of this land in a single day’” (Zechariah 3:9). The stone with seven eyes symbolizes God’s future promise of forgiving grace in Jesus Christ.

At the end of history, in the Apocalypse, John writes of a vision in which he sees the reigning Lamb with seven horns and seven eyes (Revelation 5:6-7). The Lamb symbolizes the victorious Christ who died for His people’s sins and now reigns as King of kings and Lord of lords. It is the eyes of these images that, among other attributes of God, underscore His omniscience. He “sees” all of history, all time, every event, individual human hearts, and He brings them all to the glorious foreordained conclusion. Nothing is hidden from His sight (Job 24:1; 1 Corinthians 4:5).

God’s Eye As Expressing His Love

“The LORD pays attention to (literally, the eyes of the LORD are toward) the godly and hears their cry for help” (Psalms 34:15).

The image of God’s eye of unfailing love toward His people Israel is often focused in His blessings on King David. When David’s men trap the sleeping King Saul in the cave and David spares Saul’s life, he says to Saul, “In the same way that I valued your life this day, may the LORD value my life and deliver me from all danger” (1 Samuel 26:24). The fact that David extends mercy to Saul reflects God’s mercy to David and the people of Israel in bringing them out of Egypt and establishing them as His favored people. David plays the godly man, created in the moral image of God, as it were, and shows mercy to Saul.

Through the prophet Isaiah, the Lord condemns Israel as being spiritually obtuse. “Listen, you deaf ones! Take notice, you blind ones! My servant is truly blind, my messenger is truly deaf” (Isaiah. 42:18-19). The blind eyes and deaf ears symbolize the people’s spiritual apathy indicating that they have intentionally turned away from God (cf. Romans. 1:18). In gracious response to their spiritual dullness; however, Yahweh (“the LORD”) promises to redeem Israel out of their sin, calling them “precious and special in [His] sight (literally, eyes)” (Isaiah. 43:4).

We still use the idiom of something or someone of value spoken of as esteemed in our eyes today, but how much more significant is this idiom when it represents God’s special love for his people and His willingness to pay to redeem them (Isaiah. 43:4-9).

The imagery of the eyes is used in Isaiah’s oracle in reference to Israel’s Messiah, the servant of Israel who will “restore Jacob to Himself [God], so that Israel might be gathered to Him” (Isaiah 49:5). In his role as redeemer, the servant-Messiah is “honored in the LORD’s sight (literally, the eyes of the LORD)” (Isaiah 49:5). The Messiah’s favor in God’s sight assures Israel of their favor with God as well. They too are approved in God’s sight, His chosen people who are the apple of His eye. So favored are they that even the deaths of His saints are precious “in His sight, (literally, in the eyes of the LORD)” (Psalms 116: 15, MT). God watches our birth and death, graciously considering the latter as important in His sight. God’s eye of chesed compassionate, covenant love is ever open toward His people because it is ever on their servant-savior, Jesus Christ.

The Lord sets His eye on Israel by establishing them in the Promised Land, driving out the pagan nations before them and settling the Israelites in their place. He watches over King David, through whom He blesses Israel in the united kingdom of Israel and Judah, and through whom Messiah will eventually come. Messiah is spoken of as finding favor in God’s sight, and His favor extends to the people.

A final way God shows His love toward His people is in His sheltering them from physical and spiritual troubles. When King Solomon, David’s son, finishes building the temple for the worship of God, he brings the ark to Jerusalem and places it in the Holy Place (1 Kings 8:1-13). Once the ark is in its position, Solomon dedicates the temple. Part of his prayer of dedication invokes God’s blessing. Solomon uses the image of God’s eyes when he asks for God’s favor to rest upon Israel. “Night and day may you watch over this temple,”

Solomon prays (1 Kings 8:29), and again he asks God, “May you be attentive to (literally, may your eyes be open to) your servant’s your people Israel’s requests for help, and may you respond to all their prayers to you” (1 Kings 8:52). God in this case because His favor toward the nation of Israel—is represented in the image of His eyes being open to Solomon’s invocation. They are fixed on the ark in the temple and hence on all the people who worship there.

The psalmist expresses God’s compassion for His people in their times of trouble with the image of God looking down upon His people with mercy. No army will save Israel, David warns the people, “Look, the LORD takes notice of (literally, the eye of the LORD [is] toward) His loyal followers, those who wait for Him to demonstrate his faithfulness” (Psalms. 33:18). Think of the sharp contrast between the frantic military preparations of a nation (vv. 16-17) with the simple declaration that God’s eyes alone are enough to rescue His people from their trouble (v. 18). The antithesis underscores the power of God which is available to help His people in times of trouble. Again the psalmist writes, “The LORD pays attention to (literally, the eyes of the LORD are toward) the godly and hears their cry for help” (Psalms 34:15). In both of these psalms, David rests secure in God’s protection because He “watches” over his people with his eye, and that is enough to protect them against any enemy who might attack.
Eyes And Believers

“Protect Me As You Would The Pupil (literally, little one, [the] daughter of an eye) Of Your Eye” (Psalms. 17:8)!

Scripture uses our eyes as indicators of our relationship with the Lord—whether we are believers or not and- and  if we are believers, whether or not we are living our lives for the Lord. Unbelievers have “undiscerning” eyes toward the Lord and are unable to “see” him (Jeremiah. 5:21) unless the Lord opens their eyes to see. Believers on the other hand have eyes that can “see” God—because He has opened their eyes by grace to understand their need of Jesus Christ as their savior. In his trial before Agrippa, for instance, Paul reports that the Lord sent him to the Gentiles in order to

open their eyes so that they turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a share among those who are sanctified by faith in me. (Acts 26:18).

Faith is likened to open eyes, and unbelief is likened to blind eyes. The gospel is likened to the light that shines in open eyes, and unbelief in the gospel is likened to the darkness produced by the power of Satan. Hence, eyes symbolize our spiritual condition before the Lord.

Considering, too, that strangely enough, one of the meanings of the eye is ” A fountain” I came to further study and understood too the significance on fasting as apart of this revelation. Fasting will cleanse us so the fountain of “Living Water” can pass through us. It is apart of our character building and coming into the Fathers will for our lives in a greater and closer way.

We are the “Apple Of His Eye”

Shalom.

There have been many misconceptions about judging or judgment now and in times past. However, as we prophetically understand God’s divine plan in righteous judgment, we will see that the righteous judgments of God are what bring us into life! The word judgment in the Ancient Hebrew Lexicon of the Bible means the “door of life.” Meaning, the function of righteous judgments is to bring one into life.

Rom 8:1-4

1              There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

2              For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

3              For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh,

4              that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

(NKJ)

Righteous judgments are not meant to condemn you, but to condemn the flesh. It is meant to condemn our flesh and bring us into Life with Christ, and to those who are dead in regard to the carnal man, but alive in Christ cannot be condemned. As long as we are not in the flesh, but in Christ,there is nothing to condemn. On the other hand, when we are in the flesh there will always be condemnation or a sentence of judgment against us.

According to verse 4, the carnal man cannot fulfill the righteous of the law; therefore, Yeshua had to set us free from the carnal man by bringing judgment against the sin that fuels it. When we are free from the sin that fuels the fleshly nature we can then walk blameless in the ordinances of God.

Luke 1:5-6

5              There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

6              And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless.

(NKJ)

I notice that sometimes a reason that some people may feel condemned is because they love darkness rather than light. It is because they don’t want their deeds to be exposed in the light.  

John 3:19-21
19 “And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 “For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed.
21 “But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God.”
(NKJ)

I believe that part of understanding our role in God’s righteous judgment is found in understanding our role and our function as kings and priests.
Revelation 1:6
6 and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
(NKJ)

We love to proclaim to be kings and priests, and that is beautiful, but do we understand the function of a king and a priest? It is much more than a scripture to proclaim. A king walked in authority and wisdom, knowledge, understanding and maturity was given to him by God to judge righteously.

Such is the same for a priest. The priest, specifically a high priest, also had to judge between good and evil. He had to make righteous judgments. The priest had to where the breastplate of judgment which was also called the breastplate of righteousness, of faith and of love.

Ephesians 6:14

14            Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,

1Thessalonians 5:8

8             But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.

All righteous judgment had to come out those attributes: righteousness, faith and love. NOTE: notice how judgment comes not only out of the realm of righteousness and faith but also out of love!

Inside of the pockets of the breastplate the priest would put the Urim and the Thummim. The word Urim means lights or revelation and the word Thummim means perfection or maturity. They would use those two stones, revelation and maturity in order to bring righteous judgments. They could not judge according to appearance but by righteous judgments. Their ability to bring righteous judgments of God through not only revelation but also maturity with the revelation could bring the people into life. But as I noted at the top, the goal of judgment was meant to bring a death to your flesh and life to you!

John 7:24
24 “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
(NKJ)

We must begin to see the necessity of God’s Righteous judgments in the church. Yeshua said judge not least you be judged first. His point in saying it was not to say you are not to judge. But He was speaking to those who judge according to appearance and not righteously. This kind of judgment is immature and of the flesh.

John 8:15-16

15            “You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.

16            “And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me.

(NKJ)

I pray that we would understand the beauty of Gods Judgments, to walk in them and come into life! Let the tithe of this word bring you into a harvest.

SPIRITUAL PERSPECTIVE

In the past, I’ve done my share of fasting, although admittedly not as much as I should have. One of the hurdles I always had a hard time overcoming was that I somehow felt like I was trying to negotiate a deal with the Lord, and that I was saying “God, I’m going to fast, so what are you going to give me in return?” I knew that God didn’t work on a barter system like that, but I also knew that scripture was full of examples of the power of fasting in many of the prophets and disciples lives.

So what was my problem? Why was I thinking the way I was about fasting? Well it boiled down to the fact that I had never really ’searched the matter out’ for myself, and my own misconceptions (my misunderstanding or my sin) was leading me to this false feeling about ‘bartering’ with the Lord.

John 8:32 says “… you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Well, searching out the truth about fasting has certainly set me free from feeling like I am playing “Let’s make a deal!” with the Lord!

I just finished reading “The Hidden Power of Prayer & Fasting by Mahesh Chavda (Destiny Image Publishers ISBN 13: 978-0-7684-2410-2)” and it was a great help in bringing clarity in understanding the subject of fasting from a spiritual perspective. Let’s take a look at some scriptures, so you can understand more clearly as well.

HUMBLE OURSELVES

The first thing I want you to see in Psalms 35 and Ezra 8, is that fasting is a way to humble ourselves before the Lord:

Psalms 35:13. But as for me, when they were sick, My clothing was sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting; And my prayer would return to my own heart.

Ezra 8:21. Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and our little ones and all our possessions.

Why is it important to humble ourselves? Because God says he will guide you and teach you His way:

Psalms 25:9. The humble He guides in justice, And the humble He teaches His way.

He says He will give you Grace:

Proverbs 3:34. Surely He scorns the scornful, But gives grace to the humble.

He says He will give you wisdom:

Proverbs 11:2. When pride comes, then comes shame; But with the humble is wisdom.

Jesus says you will be the greatest in the kingdom of heaven:

Matthew 18:4. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Those are all pretty significant reasons to humble yourself.  Do a search on the word ‘humble’ in scripture, and you will see that are many more as well.

STRENGTH

You probably don’t need scripture to tell you that fasting can make you weak and feeble, but here it is anyway:

Psalms 109:24. My knees are weak through fasting, And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.

Why is this significant? The Apostle Paul tells us what happens when we are weak:

2 Corinthians 12:9-10 9 And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  10 Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

So again, God promises us His grace, which will both strengthen us and perfect us.

ANSWERED PRAYER

If you read back up in Ezra 8:21 again, it tells you the reason why they were fasting… they were seeking the right way… they were looking for an answer. Daniel says the same thing:

Daniel 9:3. Then I set my face toward the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.

So fasting is way to get prayers answered!

POWER TO CAST OUT DEMONS

In Matthew 17:14-21 we have the story of an epileptic boy which the disciples could not cure.  Jesus tells them the solution though:

Matthew 17:21. However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

So Jesus Himself tells us that prayer and fasting is the only way we will be able to remove some demons from our own lives and from others lives.

NO MORE BARTERING

So now back to my original problem of always feeling like I was saying “God I’m going to fast, so what are you going to give me in return?” The revelation from all this, is that you don’t need to barter with God because He already promised you these things!

God says, “If you fast, then I will guide you, teach you, give you wisdom, grace, strength, answer your prayers and give you the power to cast out demons!” WOW… that’s amazing! He is a God of His Word, so if He said it, He will do it!!

But be warned… there is a right way and a wrong way to fast!  In Isaiah 58:3-4 God says that their fasting is unacceptable and He will not hear their voice. But starting in verse 5, He sets some guidelines on proper fasting methods, and IF we observe them, THEN in verse 8 He says “your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you; The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.”

So let’s fast with our hearts set on seeing transformation in our lives, as well as the lives of others, and in seeing a fulfillment of Luke 4:18-19:

Luke 4:18-19 18 “THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE HAS ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR; HE HAS SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKENHEARTED, TO PROCLAIM LIBERTY TO THE CAPTIVES AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET AT LIBERTY THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED;  19 TO PROCLAIM THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD.”

Shalom

P.S. – Below I have attached another article which looks at fasting from the natural perspective. I definitely recommend you read it as well before starting to fast!

FASTING – A NATURAL PERSPECTIVE
by Falcon Blanco

What is Fasting?
Fasting is a period of abstinence from all food or specific items. Fluids are consumed in sufficient quantity to satisfy thirst and physiologic requirements. During the absence of food, the body will systematically cleanse itself of everything except vital tissue. Starvation will occur only when the body is forced to use vital tissue to survive. Although protein is being used by the body during the fast, a person fasting even 40 days on water will not suffer a deficiency of protein, vitamins, minerals or fatty acids. In the breakdown of unhealthy cells, all essential substances are used and conserved in a most extraordinary manner. There is an unwarranted fear of fasting that strength diminishes from the catabolism of proteins from muscle fibers. Even during long fasts, the number of muscle fibers remains the same. Although the healthy cells may be reduced in size and strength for a time, they remain perfectly sound.

A. J. Carlson, Professor of Physiology, University of Chicago, states that a healthy, well-nourished man can live from 50 to 75 days without food, provided he is not exposed to harsh elements or emotional stress. Human fat is valued at 3,500 calories per pound. Each extra pound of fat will supply enough calories for one day of hard physical labor. Ten pounds of fat are equal to 35,000 calories! Most of us have sufficient reserves, capable of sustaining us for many weeks.

Rest is understood to be a big factor in enhancing recovery, as it is when the body is at rest that it is able to direct the most energy towards the various chemical and mechanical processes of detoxification. When fasting, a person experiences recovery at a rate that is swifter than normal. He is ridding his body of toxins and excesses; allowing the body to use its own wisdom to healthfully reorganize itself from the atomic level. As the toxic load is reduced, the functioning of every cell is enhanced. In the same way that vital nerve energy is accumulated during a night’s sleep, the faster builds nerve energy through rest, sleep, and detoxification.

The human body has many ordinary modes of achieving elimination: the liver, lungs, kidneys, colon, etc. When these are overloaded, the body will resort to “extra ordinary” methods of elimination: boils, mucous and other discharges, sweats, vomiting, diarrhea, and many others. Should elimination be impossible or uneconomical of body energy, the toxic overload will go into storage forms in the joints, vessels, muscles, organs; almost any tissue in the body. While fasting, the body is highly conservative of its energy and resources. During this deep and profound rest, toxin intake and production are reduced to a minimum while autolysins and elimination proceed unchecked. Anabolic processes such as tissue and bone healing also proceed at a maximal rate during the fast.

In the body, the first stage of cleansing removes large quantities of waste matter and digestive residues. The first few days of a fast can be rough due to the quantity of waste passing into the blood stream. The tongue becomes coated and the breath foul as the body excretes waste through every opening. After the third day of the fast, there is little desire for food. The second stage is the cleansing of mucous, fat, diseased and dying cells, and the more easily removed toxins. As the fast continues, the cleansing process becomes more thorough. The last stage is the cleansing of toxins that have been accumulating in your cellular tissue from birth, and the microscopic tubes that carry vital elements to the brain. Cleansing of the last layer is only possible through a combination of juice fasting, water fasting, and a healthy diet high in raw foods. To overcome a severe disease like cancer, it is important to continue through a series of fasts, to the point where the full scouring action of catabolism removes the disease from the tissue.

During extended fasts the body removes: dead, dying and diseased cells; unwanted fatty tissue, trans-fatty acids, hardened coating of mucus on the intestinal wall; toxic waste matter in the lymphatic system and bloodstream; toxins in the spleen, liver and kidney; mucus from the lungs and sinuses, imbedded toxins in the cellular fibers and deeper organ tissues; deposits in the microscopic tubes responsible for nourishing brain cells and excess cholesterol.

Nearly everyone who fasts, discovers the same thing, that when they fast they actually have no hunger and more energy than they normally have. It is indeed liberating to find out that if we let go and trust that we will be taken care of. Fasting is the simplest, easiest and most effective way to find out that we do indeed have the power and freedom to heal and take control of our bodies.

Why Fast?
Probably the most important reason is that the body uses quite a bit of energy to digest food, and when fasting this energy becomes available for other uses. In the fasting state, the body will scour for dead cells, damaged tissues, fatty deposits, tumors, abscesses, all of which are burned for fuel or expelled as waste. The elimination of these obstructions restores the immune system functionality and metabolic process to an optimum state.  Fasting restores good digestion and elimination, and peristaltic action is quickened. Fasting allows a deep, physiological rest of the digestive organs, and the energy saved goes into self-healing and self-repairing. By eliminating obstructions, by cleansing, detoxification, and purifying the intestines, the blood, and the cells, we can overcome many of our physical ills or handicaps as well as getting a boost in energy. Fasting not only removes obstructions and helps the body to heal itself, it is also rejuvenating and life-extending. These resulting benefits can have lasting affects in your mental and emotional health.

The other very important aspect is that your self-awareness will be elevated. If you are sick and depressed, then this might be the most important thing you can try in your healing program, because it gives you immediately an energy boost and increased awareness which might allow that you see things more clearly, allowing you the first step out of your sickness and onto the path of recovery. While fasting you become more aware of your body process, your life and with everything you are doing. It becomes a period where you can evaluate all that you’re doing more objectively, and you naturally have more time for contemplation because you aren’t using time amassing, preparing, eating, eliminating and cleaning up all which is used to prepare food. You become more aware of what your body likes and doesn’t like when you start to eat again. You gain self-confidence in your ability to control your life process, to set a goal and carry out an intention.

Fasting enhances mental acuity
Perhaps the most instructive testimony as to the acuteness of mental powers during fasting comes from Dr. Herbert Shelton who supervised the fasting of more than 40,000 people over a period of fifty years. His message is that the freer the body is of toxic materials flowing through the blood and lymphatic system, the clearer is the ability to think.

These facts are due to physiological causes. Large amounts of blood and nervous energies have to be sent to the digestive organs to digest a meal. If these energies are not required there, they may be used by the brain for better thinking. This increase in mental acuity doesn’t usually happen until after the first few days of a fast, because the body is busy cleaning out excess toxins and substances and so the first few days can be a period of depression, with headaches and various pains as this process is underway. This makes the first stage of fasting difficult but after the body has thrown off it’s load of toxins, then the brain is fed by a cleaner bloodstream and the mental powers and clarity of thought are extraordinarily increased and the other senses also become more acute.

One’s mind becomes clearer and one’s ability to think and solve intricate problems is enhanced. One is simply more alert, and one’s mind seems to open up into new fields. The mental and physical senses are heightened, and often there can be a feeling of euphoria, especially during longer fasts. Some, for the first time, will experience emotional stability. The reasons for this are multifold – the elimination of the emotional dependence on food, exclusion of stimulating foods like caffeine, processed sugars, recreational drugs, tobacco and trans-fatty acids, all of which can have a devastating effect on delicate emotions.

Dr. Ehret stated an amazing fact at the turn of the 20th century. He said that, for a water fast to awaken the higher mind functions, it had to be longer than 21 days. Fasting has a history of awakening intuitive senses, creativity, and deeper spiritual questions in those with enough determination to get past the 21 day mark.

Healing
During a fast, a metamorphosis occurs. The body undergoes a tearing down and rebuilding of damaged materials. For this reason, fasting is famous for its ability to rejuvenate and give the body a more youthful tone. Why does fasting have such a powerful effect in healing the body? Fasting dissolves diseased cells in a systematic manner, leaving healthy tissue. The result is a thorough cleansing of the tube, membrane and cellular structures. There is a remarkable redistribution of nutrients in the fasting body. It hangs on to precious minerals and vitamins while catabolizing on old tissue, toxins and inferior materials.

Each cell of your body is a complete living entity with its own metabolism. It needs a constant supply of oxygen and sufficient nourishment. When due to nutritional deficiencies, sluggish metabolism, sedentary life, overeating and consequent poor digestion and assimilation of food, lack of fresh air and sufficient exercise and rest, our cells are deprived… they start to degenerate… the normal process of cell replacement and rebuilding slows down and your body starts to grow old, its resistance to disease will diminish and you become ‘sick’.

Animals will naturally fast when they are sick or injured, and when we are ill, our hunger diminishes. If we get out of the way and allow nature to take its course, we will find that we can heal from any problem. Since the dawn of recorded time, in fact since before the word “doctor” came into existence, priests provided sanctuaries where people could go to fast. Whereas modern medical practitioners admit that they have no cures, only drugs that mask the symptoms while causing yet other symptoms to appear.

“I had a medical practice for 20 years in NYC, supervised hundreds of long fasts, and I found that the physical healing or weight loss was but a pleasant side effect. What really happened is that the person got in touch with their higher self, their true self, and came to the experience that healing can take place at every level, simply by letting go and allowing Mother Nature to do her work.” – Dr. Rai Casey

Fasting has been beneficial for these conditions:
Although fasting is not recommended in every situation, (cancer of the liver is one instance where fasting is contraindicated), in many situations fasting is the only known solution. Fasting has been beneficial for arthritis, asthma, high blood pressure, lupus, chronic fatigue, colitis, Crohn’s disease, diverticulitis, spastic colon, irritable bowel, cases of paralysis, neuritis, neuralgia, neuroses, and mental illness as well as many others. Fasting will also break down tumors and for this reason, many have overcome cancer with fasting.

Fasting decreases dependency on authorities
How many of us believe that when we get sick, that a doctor is going to save us from pain and death? We just assume that the technology is going to be able to repair us when we break down, by giving us a pill, a treatment or a surgery. We are so alienated from our bodies that we think that a doctor knows more about us than we do. The reality is that doctor’s don’t have the cures that we need, what is offered by the traditional system of healers is only the possibility to treat our symptoms never being able to cure us or root out the cause. When we take these kinds of treatments to suppress our symptoms then that cause, which is the underlying reason we are sick, goes unattended, then in fact our illness continues to grow. We will never be healthy until we take responsibility for our own health . We need to stop blaming the outside for making us sick, whether it is corporations, a person, our immediate environment or a government, and to recognize instead that our sickness is a symptom telling us something is inside needs to be addressed. For sure there are outside influences that we can’t control, but there is much that we can control by taking responsibility for ourselves and working to change our habits.

Benefits of Fasting
Mental clarity is improved and brain fog is lifted.
Rapid, safe weight loss is achieved without flabbiness
The nervous system is balanced
Energy level and sensory perception is increased. The longer the fast, the bigger increase in energy and vitality. You normally need less sleep.
Organs are revitalized
Cellular biochemistry is harmonized
The skin becomes silky, soft, and sensitive
There is greater ease of movement
Breathing becomes fuller, freer and deeper
The digestive system is rejuvenated and becomes more effective; the peristaltic action of the intestines (the cause of a natural bowel movement) is stronger after fasting.
Fasting retrains your tasting sense back to more healthy food as acute sensitivity is restored.
Fasting can increase confidence in our ability to have control over our lives and our appetite, and that our body is self-regulating and a self-healing organism capable or establishing balance when given the possibility to do so.
Normal metabolic and cell oxygenation are restored.
Detoxification – as soon as the body realizes that it’s fasting it will begin to eliminate those things that cause disease, such as fat cells, arterial cholesterol plaques, mucus, tumors, stored up worries and emotions.

One Day Fast
One way to start is to fast one day, working towards fasting regularly, one day per week or for longer periods of time. You can fast from all food, or only from solid food. You can choose a one day fast with only:

• water
• fresh fruit juice
• fresh vegetable juice
• raw fruit
• raw vegetables

Avoiding during the fast:
cooked vegetables, cooked whole grains, whole grain flour products, bread, pasta, etc. vegetable protein, soy products, etc.
dairy: milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream, butter, eggs, meats, fast food, junk food, prepared foods, etc., chemicals: sugar, caffeine, artificial flavoring, sweeteners, etc.
Not to consume any drugs, nicotine and alcohol during fast should be clear.

Water Fast
You can fast from 1 to 40 days. Try to drink 2 liters of water or more per day.

The ten day water fast has become a recommended number of days. Ten days on water will cause the same weight loss as 30 days on juice. But water fasting is far more difficult, especially if you have a fast metabolism. Water fasting cleanses the body aggressively removing toxins rapidly. Water fasting can be more beneficial than juice fasting in combating more persistent forms of cancer, cleansing the tissues more aggressively. Water fasting demands mental preparation, the less pressure and responsibility you have during a water fast the better. Think of it a holiday away form the normal patterns of living. Some recommend that the week before your fast, you drink fresh juices and eat mostly raw fruits and vegetables to cleanse the body so that the detoxification during water fasting will be less aggressive. Water fasting should always include two of three days of juice fasting before and after the water fast. This alternating between juice and water fasting is the most effective method of achieving a full cleansing through fasting.

Water Fasting Tips
Avoid water straight from the faucet. Distilled water is the best for cleansing because of its inherent, magnetic properties and ability to absorb and suspend large quantities of toxins, flushing them from the body. The perceived value of mineral water is misleading because the inorganic minerals are like huge boulders to the cellular membranes, making them impossible to assimilate. Plants are able to break down the minerals from the soils, allowing them to be completely absorbable to the cells of the body. The best water is distilled, secondly, spring or filtered.

There are no calories or nutritional value in water. On a water fast you have given your body no options but to turn to itself for fuel. This can create a problem when you have spent years depositing counterfeit fuel. Living exclusively on dirty fuel during a fast takes tremendous courage & strength. To ease into water fasting some recommend juice fasting with periods of water fasting. For example 3 days on juice, 2 days on water, 5 days on juice, then 3 days on water. You can juice when you have to work and water fast on the weekend when you can rest.

Water Fasting Concerns
It is not advisable to water fast under the conditions of hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, schizophrenia or a chronic heart condition. If you have existing conditions it is best if you consult with a fasting expert and/or be monitored throughout your fast.

Be careful of dizziness and black outs. The heart is resting as much as it can during water fasting. Before you stand up, take one or two deep breaths to get the heart pumping. If you start to black out, sit down or crouch down on one knee. This will immediately stop the dizziness.

Master Cleanse Fast
The Master Cleanse or Lemon Cleanse is between a water fast and a juice fast. Basically it consists of drinking a mixture of freshly squeezed lemons, water and maple syrup for a period of 8 to 40 days. It is easier to do than a water fast because you are still getting nutrients and energy from the lemons and the maple syrup. This fast can be done while still maintaining your normal work, yet is less calories than what you would get from a juice fast. It is normal to lose weight on this fast and it is excellent for cleansing the colon.

Juice Fast
Juice fasting is safe and can allow the body to clean itself of toxins while greatly improving conditions for health. A benefit is that your energy level is high because you are receiving sufficient nutrients from the juices, so you can carry out normal activities. A juice fast takes some burden off the digestive system and frees up some energy for accelerated healing though a water fast does much better in that regard. Also, juices can make available extra quantities of nutrients that a person might lack. Juices are easy to assimilate and take hardly any digestive energy from the body, allowing the body to put more energy into healing and rejuvenation. Packed with vitamins, minerals, living enzymes, antioxidants, phytochemicals, yet low enough in calories to force the body to cannibalize on its filthy waste, propelling you to vigorous physical health and clarity of mind.

For your first fast and for the purpose of healing disease most experts recommend a juice fast over a water fast. Fasting on water has become a near impossible exercise for a body that has been nurtured on poisons. The juice of fruits and vegetables are filled with healing and cleansing properties that allow the body to gently and safely detoxify. Juice fasting has become an effective stepping-stone to water fasting. Through juice fasting, thousands of individuals have been freed from serious diseases such as cancer, leukemia, arthritis, high blood pressure, kidney disorders, skin infections, liver disorders, alcoholism and smoking.

The thirty-day juice fast is a standard. This length of fast feels about right because after 30 days it seems like you have been fasting forever. Less then 30 days and you can miss the best experiences of the fast. If you are juice fasting, a few days on water occasionally will intensify the fast and assist with weight-loss if you have a slow metabolism.

Most people can juice fast safely for up to 30 days. The exceptions are those with hypoglycemia, diabetes, hypo thyroid, and Wilson’s Syndrome. For these conditions, eat slices of avocado and banana every few hours, add high quality vegetable source protein powder to your juices, and add psyllium or another good bulking agent to your juices twice a day to regulate blood sugar levels. Do not juice fast if you have impaired kidney function.

The amount of juice you drink will determine the intensity of cleansing. Drinking small amounts of juice supplies fewer calories, thereby increasing detoxification. The more intense the cleansing, the greater the discomfort. Juice fasting allows you to have control over the process of elimination. However, when the body enters a cleansing crisis due to toxins in the blood, no amount of juice will eliminate the discomfort. You must wait it out.

Drink all-vegetable or all-fruit juices, never combine fruits & vegetables to create juice. Make your juice from fresh vegetables or fruits. You can also include herbal teas with honey, vegetable broth, Barley Green, wheat grass juice and supplements helpful for your specific condition. Drink juice whenever hunger develops until pleasantly full as opposed to stuffed full. It is best if you filter or strain the juices, removing any excess fiber or pulp so that you continue to give the digestive system a rest. Also if it looks like you are not losing weight on your fast, you can dilute the juices with water.

You may consider modifying the fast by including quarter slices of avocado or banana to slow the cleansing process. Modified juice fasting is good for those with health restrictions such as diabetes or hypoglycemia. Bananas and avocados are slow to digest and maintain a stable blood sugar level. Their high calorie content slows the intensity of the fast and, because they are easy to digest, the body still devotes energy to cleansing.

Preparation for Your Fast
Inform yourself about fasting: by doing your own investigation, reading all you can about the fasting process, the various kinds of fasts and what you can expect as side affects. If you have a pre-existing health condition then you should find out if there are contrary indications with fasting and your condition.

Determine your cleanse duration and time period:  Try to arrange that your fast is in a time period where you have low activity or lobsters. Avoid heavy kinds of work if at all possible. When it comes to long fasts and inability of somebody to handle a long fast, you just do the best you can. When detoxification increases as it does during fasting, the liver, kidneys, lungs and immune system work extra hard to handle the load. If these systems were already compromised before the fast, one must proceed carefully. You go as long as you can tolerate it, whether physiologically or emotionally, and then come back to eating again. Once you have some energy and are a few steps further toward health, you can consider doing another fast. Several short fasts can definitely do wonders if one long fast cannot be undertaken. Long fasts are preferable to short ones because once the body is in the fasting state it cleanses systematically into the harder to get at body tissues. For this reason, most of the recoveries from illness have taken place in the latter parts of long juice or water fasts. Long fasts give the body the uninterrupted time to do the work of healing. The first few days of fasting gets rid of the gross waste products of digestion, but only after this can the body pull out its tools to get to work on healing.

Frequency of Fasting
Of course, the best is that people stay on a good daily health regime and then when the need comes to fast to go ahead and do it for a week to 10 days or longer if indicated. At least long enough to move completely into the fasting physiology and accelerated detoxification.  Ideally people should fast once or twice a year just as a tune-up to deal with the environmental toxins and junk in our foods as well as the emotional build up. Traditionally people have fasted in the spring and fall, when the weather is mild.

Activity Level
It is good to at least have mild exercise and movements with short walks to keep the lymphatic fluid moving and to the keep the vascular system working.  The amount of exercise you can do is very much dependent on your existing condition and how you are feeling that day and what kind of fast you are doing. Basically one needs to be alert and listen to one’s body and not to overdo. Fasting is resting, not a marathon! You may feel weak during a water fast and may need to rest more often. While juice fasting, you may experience an abundance of energy that makes exercise easy. If you experience energy loss, limit yourself to stretching exercises, light walking or deep breathing.

Proteins & Fasting
It was theorized that protein loss during fasting was harmful and that a fast should be supplemented with protein. Fasting with protein became known as the Opti-fast. Fasters took nothing but water and a protein drink. Sadly, several people died. Protein digestion during the fasting state created an overload of urea and the blood become acidic. In this condition, the organs become more damaged instead of healing. To the body, fasting is a natural process. During water or juice fasting, the protein levels of the blood remain constant. Although protein is being utilized, a person fasting 40 days on water will not suffer a deficiency of either protein, vitamins, minerals or fatty acids. In the breakdown of dying and diseased cells, all essential substances are available while fasting for reuse within the body. These dead cells are utilized in a systematic manner.

Protein deficiency is non existent in North America. You never hear of anyone being diagnosed with protein deficiency. Fruit and vegetable juices have water-soluble highly absorbable proteins. The body has a store of protein, and it uses it selectively. Dying cells are the first to be used and healthy and vital tissues are the very last and will only be used as a last resort. Only during starvation is protein being stripped from healthy tissue to be used to survive. This may take 30 to 80 days of fasting on water to reach this point.

The systematic searching of cells to be metabolized is crucial in the healing of cancer. A cancer cell represents protein and calories. Some cancers are so persistent that you have to force the body to choose between healthy cells and cancer cells. This requires a long fast on small portions of juice combined with days of water fasting.

Aiding Elimination of Toxins
Enemas: If you are not having natural bowel movements then an enema is advised to move out the toxic material that is being scoured by your body. You will feel much better after taking an enema. An enema can be taken daily in the beginning days of a fast, then bi-daily for the remainder using just plain water.

Mucus: . It is common, during fasting, for the nose and throat to pass sticky mucus, clogging the sinuses. White strands of mucus may be found in the stool. You may find that you are more comfortable if you use a Neti Pot to clear the sinus cavities, to prevent getting a cold with the clogged sinuses. You can also drink lemon juice with water to help clear the mucus.

Showers/Bathing:  Plan to shower or bath daily to aid in cleaning the pores and assist the removal of toxins. The skin is a large organ and many toxins are removed through the pores causing a gummy deposit on the surface of the skin. It may help to brush the skin removing the sludge that is deposited there.

Reactions from Fasting
The ‘healing’ reactions you get from fasting are dependent on your existing health and the toxic load present in your body when you start. The first three days can be the most difficult until one’s appetite for food goes away, which it normally does after the third day. Many people experience headaches, joint pain and other discomforts in the first few days. Your tongue will become coated and your breath foul, and you may notice increased body odor. These are all normal detox reactions as the toxins move out of your body. With extended fasting you will notice some days are symptom free, then as you move into deeper layers of detoxification you will experience episodes of symptoms as your body cleanses these other systems. In the later stages you remove the mucous from your system and this can increase your likelihood to catch a flu or a cold. At times you may feel weak or tired, so you should listen to your body and rest. Periods of high-energy and mental clarity will be experienced and can be variable, alternating between periods of healing reactions and symptom free days. With extended fasts it is normal to also have strong emotional reactions that have been suppressed, as the body brings these to the surface also for healing… This can be a difficult period, but can be dealt with more easily with meditation or Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). The cleansing response that happens is dependent on experience with fasting, current health and level of toxins and sickness in your body.  If you have an existing health condition, it is possible that you get a strong healing reaction or healing crisis. A link to a page describing this reaction in detail is given below.

If cleansing responses arise (headache, stomach upset, mental fog, lethargy,.etc) exercise great patience and take rest until symptoms pass. It’s all part of the process. Always go to your capacity but never over-do. If unreasonably strong physical or emotional symptoms occur, it may be wise to discontinue. The following are common reactions and what can be done to ease the symptom while you are fasting.

Weight Loss
Weight loss can initially be as high as three to four pounds per day, but as the fast continues, the average loss will be one pound per day. If you are juice fasting and not losing weight, the juice is supplying all the calories you need. You may have to cut down on the juices or alternate between water fasting and juice fasting if losing weight is part of your goal. The slower your metabolism the slower the weight loss. If you are thin or average weight and you fast for 30 days on juice or 10 days on water, you will become thin. Ribs will show, the face will become gaunt, and friends and family will display concern. But the body will quickly normalize its weight in 5 to 10 days after the fast. If you are thin to start with, fasting may allow you to gain additional weight after the fast. Metabolism is normalized due to the cleansing process. It is very important not to try to gain weight too quickly. The body can rebuild only at a set rate. Overeating will burden the body and undermine the rebuilding process.

Dizziness
You may experience dizziness, if you do get down on one knee and the dizziness will stop immediately.

Backache
Back pain may increase due to toxins in the lower intestine. The blood vessels that draw nutrients from the colon are very close to the nerves of the spine. Back pain often decreases after elimination of the toxins. Back exercises also can relieve some pain. A cold pack also will help. An enema may be in order…

Bad Breath
Waste passes through the lungs which are an eliminative organ. Brushing the tongue with a tooth brush, using dental floss and rinsing with mouthwash will reduce bad breath.

Canker Sores
These may develop from a toxic buildup in the mouth. Unhealthy bacteria increases between the teeth. The tongue becomes coated with waste. To stop cankers, gargle with sea salt mixed with water several times daily. Dabbing the sore with tea tree oil or vitamin E quickens the healing process.

Cold Virus
Mucoid is the perfect food for viruses. Toxins weaken the immune system. When large quantities of toxins and mucus are in the blood due to a fast, they can cause a susceptibility to colds. To fight a cold, continue fasting to eliminate the mucus. Reduce the liquid intake and drink lemon juice.

Blackouts
During fasting the body conserves energy. The heart pumps slower and blood pressure lowers. Standing or moving quickly from a resting position will cause the blood to flow to the legs. For a few seconds, the brain may not get enough oxygen, causing blackouts and dizziness. To stop a blackout get down on one knee or sit. Lowering your center of gravity will instantly stop a blackout. Blackouts are more frequent during water fasting.

Diarrhea
Fruit juices have a laxative effect that is more pronounced after water fasting. It can be stopped by using the enema. Using psyllium husk during diarrhea will help regulate the system.

Strong Emotions
Try to journal, EFT, meditate, talk a walk, or rest.

Headaches
Toxins can cause muscle tightness in the neck and shoulders. This can result in tension headaches. Massaging the neck and shoulders will help relieve the tension. The herb Fever Few, which is available in health food stores, is well worth trying.

Mucus
Drink lemon juice with water, combine with Neti Pot.

Muscle Tightness
The muscles may become tight and sore due to toxin irritation. The legs can be the worst affected as toxins accumulate in the legs. A self massage, hot baths, stretching and exercising will help to release the toxins.

Nausea
When waste is released too quickly by the lymph glands, some of the toxic overload is taken by the liver and secreted with bile into the stomach. This causes nausea. Drinking water or carrot juice will dilute the bile and toxin mixture helping to flush it from the system.

Nervousness
The elimination of toxins can irritate damaged nerves. Exercise will relieve tension. Use quarter slices of avocado to slow the fast or drink fruit juice if on a water fast. However, you should note that any food intake may cause one’s hunger to return and make it more difficult to stay on the fast, just do the best that you can.

Skin disturbances
The skin may become oily as rancid oils are purged from the body. People with problem free skin may have a few days of pimples or boils. A pallid complexion is also a sign of waste in the blood. When cleansed of mucus and toxins, the skin will be healthy, soft and unblemished.

Tiredness
Tiredness is normal during water or restricted juice fasting. If the tiredness is too much, increase the quantity of sweet juices like melon and carrot juice.

Pre-existing Conditions

Heart Disease
Include bananas and avocados when juice fasting to balance the blood sugar level. Toxins in the blood and reduced blood sugar levels may cause a weak heart to labor. Like any other organ, the heart needs nutrients, a toxin free environment, and time to heal. Also if one has the disorder of POTS it is advisable to take salt so that the blood pressure does not get too low.

Hypoglycemia
Do not juice fast unless you use bananas and avocados to balance the blood sugar level.

Kidney problems
Fasting can irritate damaged kidneys due to the amount of toxins they filter. Try short juice fasts of 3 to 5 days before progressing to longer fasts.

Liver Disease
The liver can become toxic due to abuse. If the liver is badly degenerated, cleansing must be done in stages. Start with short juice fasts and lead to fasts over five days. Avoid heavy proteins, refined flours and fatty foods. Eat meals of fruits or vegetables between the fasts.

Age
Nobody is too old to fast – it is exactly what the body needs to feel young again. Shorter fasts are recommended to start. Assess your physical state as you proceed. If juice fasting becomes too intense, bananas and avocados will lessen the intensity by slowing the cleansing.

Ulcers
Fasting will help significantly. Choose the juices that do not irritate the condition.

Healing Crisis
(The cleansing reaction, the detox reaction, or the Herxheimer reaction.)

During your fast you may enter into a healing crisis, which indicates that a deeply seated sickness is being healed, but also this means that you are going in reverse through the reactions that you went through as your sickness progressed. This is normally a good thing, because it shows that there is a major healing happening, but the downside is that it is not easy to go through because of the uncomfortable reactions that cause pain, etc. If you are feeling quite ill then you should read through the healing reaction article to try to determine if this is what is going on with you or not. It may be advisable to check with your medical professional at this point, to try to determine if you want to continue the fast or not.

Going Off Your Fast
“It’s a fact that eating causes a cycle of hunger. It’s only when we stop eating that we lose hunger!  Think about it. All fasting experts agree that hunger sensations are usually lost on or shortly after the third day of fasting, and sometimes don’t return for weeks, but when they do return, usually very strongly, it’s the time to break the fast.”

But all fasting experts point out that it is important to resume eating very lightly, and very gradually, in exact relationship to the duration of the fast. Therefore, if breaking a 40-day fast, you may want to start with only small quantities of fruit juice for several days up to a week, before actually resuming with solid food like regular fruit.

Important: Keep the first solid meal light and simple even though the mental temptation to dive into heavier favorites will probably be high. Be gentle with your digestive system and your digestive system will not only thank you but the overall benefits of the cleanse will last much longer. If you were on a water fast, then your first day can be juices, if your were on a juice fast, then your first day should be raw vegetables or fruits. The next meal may include heavier items such as potato, avocado or corn, but in any case you will notice that your body is very sensitive to what you eat and you should use this period of transition to learn more about what your body likes and doesn’t like you to put into it.

When waking up a slumbering digestive system, the desire to eat will be intense. The flavors and textures of food will be enhanced by super clean nasal passages. Eating will be a brand new experience. This is the time to flex your new-found muscles of discipline and self-control. As the body screams, I want more, wisdom whispers, you have had enough.

Eating small amounts of raw fruits and vegetables for the first five or six days will allow the body to gently wake up the digestive system. The body will continue to detoxify and cleanse during this period. Any toxins that have accumulated will begin to move due to the sweeping action of the soft fibers of fruits and vegetables.

For six days gradually increase the amount of raw fruits and vegetables in your diet. To break a fast and gorge on meat, bread or junk food will be disaster. Jarring the system this intensely when the digestive system is in a sensitive state can cause stomach cramps, nausea and weakness, negating much of the benefits of the fast.

Eat slowly and chew your food well. Saliva has enzymes that assist in digestion. Up to 80 percent of the starch, 30 percent of the protein and 10 percent of the fat can be digested by the enzymes in saliva.

Do not overeat! Discover the amount of food that your body needs to live a vibrant, healthy life. Discern the difference between cravings and hunger. Never feed your emotions.

When breaking a fast over ten days, the break-in period should be extended one day for every 4 days of fasting.

Greater Sensitivity – Restored Senses
An interesting phenomenon occurs after a fast. The years of conditioning your body to tolerate unhealthy foods is reversed. The body is as clean as a newborn baby. Try feeding a newborn baby Grandma’s apple pie.

When the body is full of toxins, its defense systems are not able to operate effectively. After a fast the natural defenses are restored and sensitivity to unhealthy food is increased. You will feel satisfied with smaller amounts of food and sluggish and tired when overeating. Rich foods, full of fat, salt, and processed sugars will cause nausea, headaches and weakness. A handful of fruit will be thoroughly satisfying. Because the digestive system has to work less, there will be boundless energy to spare.

Why? After a fast your body is clean, and has far less tolerance to the poisonous foods that you were used to eating previous to the fast. Understand, feeling sick when eating poison is a sign that your body is functioning normally. Fasting restores the body’s ability to violently react to harmful, health damaging, food. If you really desire, you can desensitize your body by slowly introducing harmful foods back into your diet, but why you should? You better select your food carefully, even though it is not possible to avoid toxins as these are every where. So fasting as a regular cleaning is important and will keep you healthy.

Disclaimer: You can investigate about everything yourself, but before you start with a treatment, a cleansing, fasting or whatever, you should consult a health professional.

VOICE OF REVIVAL (Releasing the Preachers)

The trumpets are beginning to sound and with that sound we will begin to see whirlwinds and his Glory! There is a Voice that will be heard it is a Loud Sound that is coming says the Lord, I saw sonic sound, I saw vibrations, I saw a storm of HIS Majesty in heaven. I saw preachers not able to contain the word of the Lord, I saw truth, I saw the sword cutting down religion, I saw the walls coming down.

The Lord is saying be the voice, I have called you to be the voice, even when you know not what to speak; I will give you the words to speak. I have given you the keys to the Kingdom “To Open doors no man can shut and to shut doors no man can open, I am calling forth A FEARLESS GENERATION, a generation that will know where to move and how to move because I have instructed them says the Lord, and not only have I instructed them I have called them forth to usher in MY HARVEST, where many have been bound in the constitution of what man has made I am taking them out of it, they will move from the NORTH to THE SOUTH they will move from THE EAST TO THE WEST, I have called them to move according to the whirlwinds of my spirit says the Lord. They will see the expanse of MY GLORY and will move as the four living creatures would move, high and lifted up, where the four living creatures travelled so they will travel. Says the Lord.

Many will say “But what is this?” “ What this is says the Lord is what you have cried out for and even still many of you will not perceive it to be of me, but you will be brought lowly, you will be confounded, as I move by my spirit, says the Lord”
I will cause you to move as a man then I will cause you to move as the Ox, I will then cause you to move as swift as the eagle and then the Lion will roar! Do you see it? Do you feel it? I am stretching the limits you have also put on yourself as you too have limited what i can do, man has hindered you, people have bound you in false condemnation and false guilt, I am breaking these says the Lord.”
“ My eagles are going to see unlike they have ever seen, and as the see the Lions will roam to devour on the earth, these are the Lions of Judah, these are the ones that will move fearlessly, knowing who they are in me, says the Lord, they will be the ones that i will use to remove all the wickedness of false counsel”

Ex 19.16
On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled. Then Moses led the people out of the camp to meet with God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. Mount Sinai was covered with smoke, because the Lord descended on it with fire. The smoke billowed up from it like smoke from a furnace, the whole mountain trembled violently, and the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder. Then Moses spoke and the voice of God answered him.

The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you and writhed; the very depths were convulsed. The clouds poured down water, the skies resounded with thunder; your arrows flashed back and forth.

Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen. You lead your people, like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

This is some of the word what I taught my grandsons when I studied about Chanukkah for my visit to California over the holidays.

Ezra 6:16 And the children of Israel, the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the children of the captivity, kept the DEDICATION of this HOUSE of God with joy,

DEDICATION in Hebrew is Chanukka 2497 – dedication, which corresponds to 2498 Chanukka – dedication, consecration.
The Gesenius Lexicon defines it as initiation, handselling of a house.
Some of the definitions for handselling from the Webster’s are a first installment of payment, the initial experience of anything, a foretaste, experience for the first time.
This word is from 2496 chanak – to train, dedicate, inaugurate.
The Lexicon – to make narrow, to be narrow, to strangle, to put something into the mouth, to give to be tasted, to initiate a house…
We know that we are the house and we are the temple, 1Cr 3:16 , 2Cr 6:16…

1 Chronicles 26:27, 28 Out of the spoils won in battles did they dedicate (to consecrate, sanctify, prepare, dedicate) to maintain (to strengthen, prevail, be firm, to press, to repair/ from the Lexicon- to tie fast, to bind bonds strongly) the house of the LORD. And all that Samuel the seer, and Saul the son of Kish… had DEDICATED; and whosoever had DEDICATED was under the hand (hand power, portion) of Shelomith, and of his brethren.
Shelomith means “peaceful”
`and is from: Shalowm (shalom) – completeness, soundness, welfare, peace, completeness (in number), safety, soundness -in body, welfare, health, prosperity, peace, quiet, tranquility, contentment, friendship, of human relationships, with God especially in covenant relationship

So whoever/whatever was dedicated was under the hand/power of peace.
This reminds me of salvation in the New Testament
NT – SALVATION: deliverance, preservation, safety, salvation, deliverance from the molestation of enemies, the present possession of all true Christians from: saviour, deliverer, preserver. from: SAVE – sozo – to save, keep safe and sound, to rescue from danger or destruction – one suffering from disease, to make well, heal, restore to health Lex> salvation begins in this life, in DELIVERANCE FROM ERROR and CORRUPT NOTIONS, in moral purity, in pardon of sin and blessed peace of a soul reconciled to God.

Mat 9:21 For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole.= sozo, the same word as SAVE (above) in the Greek.

Eph 6:15 And your feet shod (to bind under one’s self, bind on) with the preparation –(the act of preparing) of the gospel (a reward for good tidings, of salvation through Christ) of peace;- security, safety, prosperity, the way that leads to peace (salvation).

The Menorah is symbolic of the church, Rev 1:20
that means that the oil is the church with the Holy Spirit in it and the Holy Spirit is the revelator, the teacher and the counselor.

We are sealed (marked) with the Holy Spirit of promise (Thayers-to proclaim life in fellowship with Christ, benefits of salvation) which is the earnest (money which in purchases is given as a pledge or down payment that the full amount will subsequently be paid, Thayers – a foretaste, a pledge of future blessing) of our inheritance (as an heir) until the redemption (a releasing effected by payment of ransom, Thayers – redeem one by paying a price, deliverance) of the purchased possession. (Preserving, an obtaining) Eph 1:13, 1

1Ki 9:7 Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb (similitude, parable- from to make like, assimilate, to be compared, cause to rule, to give dominion) and a byword (sharp (cutting) word, taunt) among all people:
Rom 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, (descend from a higher place to a lower, to fail of participating in, miss a share in, to lose authority, no longer have force) severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue (tarry still, to abide, to continue, remain, to preserve) in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off. (cut out, cut off a tree)

Rom 2:28-29 For he is not a Jew (belonging to kingdom of Judah, meaning praise) who is one outwardly (apparent, manifest, evident), nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh (human nature, the earthly nature); but he is a Jew who is one inwardly (hidden, concealed, secret); and circumcision (metaph. of Christians separated from the unclean multitude and truly consecrated to God, the extinction of passions and the removal of spiritual impurity) is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter (written document, epistle, written acknowledgment of a debt, bill); whose praise is NOT from men but from God.

So the true Jew is not one outwardly apparent or manifested in the earthly nature but one who is inwardly hidden/concealed – hence a “mystery” to the ungodly- and truly separated and consecrated to God by the teaching of the Holy Spirit and not literal understanding of the letter (Word of God).

Deuteronomy 29:29 “The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do (accomplish) all the words of this law (Torah, direction, instruction, prophetic teaching).
Secret- to be hidden, be concealed. Revealed- to uncover, remove, to be disclosed, be discovered, to make known, show, reveal
Luke 8:10 And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.
Mysteries: a hidden or secret thing, not obvious to the understanding, secret will of God: the secret counsels which govern God in dealing with the righteous, which are hidden from ungodly and wicked men but plain to the godly. Parables – an earthly story with a heavenly meaning, proverb.

Hi

I want to share with you one of my testimonies.

One of my legs was shorter than the other and I was born with a mal-formation in my lower back. This fact caused great pain in my back. For several years, I wore special shoes. One day, I decided to stop wearing these shoes and I started feeling pain in my back again. For years, I suffered with this pain. First, I decided to ask brothers and sisters to pray for me. They did, and I immediately felt less pain but I was not totally healed. Months later, after fasting, I asked two deacons in the church, to anoint me with oil. They came, I sat down on a chair and they anointed me and prayed. I shut my eyes, trusting the Lord. All the people in the church became silent, one deacon said “it’s being done” because they actually saw my leg becoming the same length as the other one. I was so grateful and thankful to the Lord that I shed tears. The two legs are now the same length and my feet are flat on the ground.

Thanks Lord! Our Lord is great! He is the Creator!

My name is Natalene Newman.  I live at Innisfail, Australia.   Ten months ago I went to New Castle to Prophet Mike”s church and loved it very much.  While there we went out for a meal one night at Miss Bobbie”s house with Pastor Joey and my sister and friend in Christ,  Josephine.   Susha, a sister over there, also was there and we were talking about the word and prayed. They prayed for me for a lot of things I had told them about.   One major thing I had was panic attacks.  I’ve had them very bad for 14 years.  If you have never had them, you can’t  imagine how frightening they were.  They started after I had had an operation in which I nearly died under anesthetic.  The grace of God kept me alive, but the results 6 months after were panic attacks. It doesn’t mean that I was frightened, – that wasn’t it .  My body would wake me up in middle of night not being able to breathe.  My heart would be beating faster than a time bomb, and my blood pressure would go to 180 over 200 or more.   Sometimes there was no control over it,  but I took  a drug Valium that was driving me to the point of constantly feeling like I was dying even though it would be a relief at the time.

….BUT MY DADDY GOD has delivered me from it!    I didn’t notice till I got back to Australia.  After a while I said to Jo,  “Guess what,  I’ve had no panic attacks any more – none completely.”   I’ve been delivered.  The type I had are with you forever.  I would ring my doctor wee hours of morning because my husband, not being a Christian yet,  wouldn’t understand and  so my doctor would help me through.  Sometimes I would drive myself to hospital for fear of dying.  My husband is totally deaf andwears a hearing aid and at night he takes it out, so I felt safer in the hospital. I thank my Daddy GOD for delivering me through the prayers of Pastor Joey and Shusha and Bobbie.   Praise my Daddy God Amen  — and know He is our Healer.

Love and may God bless all who read this,

Natalene

Greetings To All In The Name of Our Lord Jesus,

I yearn to express to you a revelation The Lord spoke to my heart and I believe this is a now word for the Bride. When we take a look at the way Jesus taught there are profound things that the scriptures reveal to us. Mark 4:33-34 states that when Jesus spoke to the crowds He only spoke in parables and without a parable He didn’t speak. Yet it also says that He explained all things to His disciples. In Mark, Jesus makes this statement;

Mark 4:11-13
11 And He said to them, “To you it has been given to KNOW the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are OUTSIDE, all things come in PARABLES.

With whom was Jesus speaking?
His disciples – his disciplined pupils. To those that were on the outside He spoke only in parables.  Here we have two types of people -  those who are disciples and those who are on the outside. The question remains…outside of what? The word outside in the Greek means to be outside the door! Jesus says in John 10 that I am the door! The word door in that passage of scripture  means, a door or a metaphor or parable! Jesus says to His disciples that it is given to you to KNOW the mystery of the kingdom of God. The word KNOW in the Greek and Hebrew speaks of intimacy or intercourse. It does not mean to have a knowledge of the mystery of God as in head knowledge,  it means to experience the mystery of God as in a place of intimacy and consummation! Those outside the door are those who are not intimate with Jesus and therefore cannot understand His love language(parables). Those who are intimate with the mystery of Kingdom are entering into the beginning stages of the consummation of the Bride because they are having an intercourse of words with the Bridegroom! The word PARABLE means a symbolic language that leads you to a destination or a person….person of Jesus. He is the door and when we become intimate as the Bride we come through that door and begin to find the hidden Jesus or the hidden Bridegroom as told about in Song of Solomon. A careful reading of The Song of Solomon we will find the Bridegroom is hidden and the Shulamite(Bride) is chasing after him. In The Song,  He continually appears and then disappears. The Bride is always in pursuit of him. But an interesting and powerful scripture is given in Song of Solomon 2:10-14;

Song of Solomon 2:10-14
10 My beloved spoke, and said to me: “Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
11 For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.
12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.
13 The fig tree puts forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grapes give a good smell. Rise up, my love, my fair one, and COME AWAY!

14 “O my dove, in the CLEFTS of the rock, in the SECRET PLACES of the cliff, let me see your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.”

Here the Bridegroom is speaking of the rain and the winter passing and the time for flowers or a blossoming on the earth! A time of fruit! Then He tells His dove in the CLEFTS to come forth! He is calling for the bride to come forth in maturity! The phrase COME AWAY is one word in Hebrew and it’s the word WALK.  It means to walk out the message until you become it in the original language! It’s time for the Bride to begin to come out of the secret place and become mature. That can only happen in a place of intimacy. Finally, the most profound things of this passage is the word CLEFT. It means a refuge a hidden place but it shares the same root with the word FEAST in the original Hebrew. Leviticus 23 the Lord says that people of God had to appear before the Lord three times a year to celebrate His Feasts. What we miss is, He says they are His Feasts and they are perpetual. They are not Jewish Feasts.  They are God’s Feasts!  The Feasts were wedding rehearsals that were to point to revelation of the First and Second Coming of Jesus. For example, Jesus is the Passover Lamb.  He is the Unleavened Bread.  He is the Firstfruits of many brethren and He birthed the Church on Pentecost. For 1500 years the Jews celebrated the Feasts, sacrificed lambs and yet when the Lamb of God came many missed Him. Why?  He was hidden in the Feasts!  If CLEFT comes from the word feast and this is where the Bridegroom is calling the Bride out of at the time of fruit ripening, then the Bride is hidden in the feasts as well!   The feast also are referred to as the former and the latter rain. The Feast of Passover and the Feast of Firstfruits spoke of barley harvest and the Feast of Pentecost spoke of the firstfruits of wheat harvest. The Latter rain or Feast of Tabernacles is a fruit harvest! The Bride is hidden in the feast and The Bridegroom is calling us into a deeper level of intimacy to find the revelation of the Bride hidden in the feast! Let us sell all and pursue the lover of our soul with abandonment until we find him. The powerful thing is when we find him we find who we were destined to be! We are a generation that was not just called to be prophets, not just to be apostles, but to BE THE BRIDE! Glory of Christ manifested in the Earth! Paul says that Christ is the glory of God but woman is the glory of man. Christ is our Bridegroom and we are to be the glory of our husband…manifesting His nature in the earth and releasing the kingdom! Don’t settle for less but pursue your lover and His desire to manifest His nature in the earth!  Happy hunting!

Revelation 19:7 says “Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.”

Question: Who it is that has made His wife/bride ready? It does not say God or Jesus made her ready. And it does not say she was okay just the way she was. It says that SHE had to make HERSELF ready!

So who this wife/bride? Ephesians 5:23 says “For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.” The comparison clearly shows us that the CHURCH is this wife/bride. And WE are the church!

The church today wants to tell you “God loves you just the way you are… you don’t need to change” and “You’re under grace… just keep living anyway you want!“, but clearly this is not going to cut it at the end of the age.

God does love you, but He loves you enough to tell you that you DO need to change and that you cannot stay the way you are. And what about grace? Yes we are under grace, but God’s grace is not something that means you live however you want and just repent every now and then. God’s grace is that He reveals is character to you and in you, so that you CAN change. His grace is the revealing of the Torah, a revealing of Messiah Yeshua, a revealing of Jesus Christ that will help you in making yourself ready. God’s grace (revelation of the Mysteries of the Kingdom) is the only way to be ready! Don’t be a foolish virgin… start preparing now!!!

Shalom

P.S. – I came across this 10 minute video compilation at www.HolyDesperation.com which sums up what I am saying and is worth watching as well:  WATCH VIDEO

Exodus 3:1-5
1 Now Moses kept the flock of Jethro his father in law, the priest of Midian: and he led the flock to the backside of the desert, and came to the mountain of God, even to Horeb.
2 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed.
3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside, and see this great sight, why the bush is not burnt.
4 And when the LORD saw that he turned aside to see, God called unto him out of the midst of the bush, and said, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.
5 And he said, Draw not nigh hither: put off your shoes from off your feet, for the place whereon you stand is holy ground.

The book of Exodus is one of the 5 books of Moses, also known as Torah. The original text was in Hebrew and Hebrew always expresses a function unlike English, for one. So it is important to know what the Hebrew root of that English translated word really means, as we shall see in the following example.

Let me first recapitulate the events up to the above passage. Moses had a mighty call on his life which he was very much aware of, but in his zeal and lack of understanding of God’s ways, he took matters in his own hands, killed an Egyptian and when he saw that it backfired on him, fled into the land of Midian. “Midian” ( Strong’s number H4080) speaks of a quarrelling mind and attitude, it speaks of strife; he had fled in the desert, a barren land of strife. The root of this word is דּן (or din דּין ) and means “A quarrel requiring the need of a ruler or judge to mediate the incident.”

Yet because of his desire to really know Him, God lead him and he came to the mountain of God, in Horeb. A mountain speaks of a place of teaching – later on he would have the children of Israel sit and learn, by companies of 10, 50, 100 and 1000s (Deut 1) Yeshua would do the same and teach the people (Luke 9:14). He was in Horeb which is the Hebrew word חרב chorev H2722 and H2717 in the Strong’s dictionary– meaning a desert, desolate, destroy, kill, to lay waste, to be in ruins, to be dried up, to attack, to fight.
Note briefly that it is also another name for Mount Sinai. I’ll get back to that.

Again, in Hebrew, letters are also numbers and when added up, compose what is called a gematria. A word or chain of words that have the same total or gematria are said to be associated. In this instance the word *street* רחב has the same letters and is pronounced *rechov*. Symbolically the street is our mind, or mindsets, the path we tread. Its root comes from the word to think – חשׁב *chashav*. The letters ח -chet and ב -bet are part of those words and in this also we know that other words having these same letters are affiliated in their meaning.

From this so far, we understand that Moses was not in a good place to dwell in and his mind was reflecting all of the desert attributes enumerated above. A miserable feeling person he was.

Rain is symbolic of revelation, as he would later proclaim as the Prophet of YHVH, in Deuteronomy 32:2 *My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass*
The word doctrine is actually teaching, which root is torah.
In the desert it does not rain, so he was in a place of no revelation, a dry or droughty place, a dead mindset.

The angel of the Lord appeared to him: Angels (H4397) are messengers who bring a message from the throne room that we should observe and obey. We need eyes to see and ears to hear the language of YHVH. In this instance God graciously gave him this gift of vision (H7200) and he perceived, he distinguished the appearing, the manifestation of that message from YHVH, and he looked at Him face to face, never to be the same again.

Our God is a consuming fire and as such He appeared to him in a flame of fire. The word *flame* is H3827 and means a gleam, a flash (lightning flashes and again is symbolic of revelation that comes in the twinkling of an eye, and transforms us); it speaks of a sharply polished blade or point of a weapon. God’s Word is a two edged-sword, it is a sharply polished blade which ends in a point to pierce and circumcise our heart. The word *flame* is the Hebrew word להב lahav, which root is *heart* or לב.In ancient Hebrew it reads : 1255) ac: ? co: Heart ab: Think: The pictograph for Lamed ל is a picture of the shepherd staff representing authority, the Bet ב is a picture of a tent representing what is inside. Combined these mean “authority inside”. The consciousness of man is seen as coming from deep inside the chest, the heart. Thirst as an Inside desire for water.
It speaks also of: The organ that pumps blood. This organ is also seen as the seat of thought and emotion, the mind, understanding, wisdom.
So God’s Word, His flame is His heart, the authority inside that Sword, His passion we are to reflect and possess. His flaming Sword is there to quench the thirst for living waters we all have inside our chest, our heart that only He can satisfy. It is there to bring us to a right thinking, because His thoughts (mind, heart and thinking) are not our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8).

And here goes the kicker:
In the midst of a: bush (H5572) סנה seneh- meaning to prick, a bramble. In Ancient Hebrew pictographs it means (1336) SN) ac: Pierce co: Thorn ab: Hate: The pictograph for Samech is a picture of a thorn, the Nun is a picture of seed. Combined these mean “thorn seed”. The thorn, the seed of a plant with small sharp points) cause one to turn directions to avoid them. (eng: sin)
It is a *tree* of the desert, it has thorns; it survives in a droughty place. It causes one to avoid it whichever directions it can- it speaks of a wavering to and fro, a staggering. It pierces the soul, and breeds hate!!!! From the same root comes the word – ( סנאSNA) : Hate: Like a thorn, hate causes one to turn away from another.
We are to love the Lord with all our heart, mind, soul, and spirit, and to love our neighbour as ourselves… (Deut 6: 5, Lev.19:18) To love ourselves speaks of when we seek the truth and mercy from God that brings forgiveness, an atonement and frees us from our bondages. In order to love our brother/neighbour, we need to bring to them the same truth that freed us, the same truth that YHVH used to erase that debt. This is how we bless our enemies. As long as we turn away from another, or avoid in one form or another, we harbour hate, resentment, bitterness. We keep each other in bondage.
The seed is the word, Yeshua said, good seed or bad seed. All trees/bush grow from a seed. This kind of tree/bush is NOT the Tree of Life.

The letters that compose the word *bush* are a ס Samech, which speaks of a ring of protection from predators and is also symbolic of a ring of marriage or covenant (which can be with God or with satan, depending on who your father is). נ Nun, which represents a seed (the seed is the word – Luke 11:5- it can be a good (divine, resurrection) seed or a bad (evil, poisonous) seed) and the ה Heh , which speaks of the breath, which can be of the Spirit of God or the spirit of man.

To summarize this, it speaks of a place protected by a droughty seed which produces a tree of sort, but it is really a bush, a bramble that pricks; its fruit is hate. It is not even a real tree! It speaks of carnality, of the covenant or marriage with a deadly carnal seed. It has no rain, no life – it is a false mindset, in a desolate, ruined place laid to waste.

In contrast Sinai סיני is spelled סSamech יYod נ Nun י Yod and still means *thorny*.
The letter Yod is symbolic of the Spirit of God, His character, which is manifested in every letters of the Hebrew Alef-Bet. It represents True humility. Therefore, *Sinai* speaks also of a protection, a ring of marriage which is received in humility by the appearance of the character of God found in the Yod, His Spirit. This in turn, is projected in the true seed (Nun) which reflects again the character of God – This is the place of the true marriage covenant, where God cut covenant with the children of Israel and betrothed them. To some it would still be a thorny place, and remain a * seneh*, a bramble ground, a hateful place, in Horeb, the desert or wilderness, and to some it would become the place of protection of the Almighty having received His character, His prophetic Seed, that would crown and protect their minds from predators.

God told Moses that he would know that He spoke to him when he would have brought the people to Mount Sinai. (He had killed an Egyptian mindset alright, but inherited a Midianite one…he was still out of God’s will.)

Horeb was the place of call for a marriage – chet/huppah- an invitation to covenant and hear – resh or head/mind – the Love of God, His word, He wanted to put/form in the bet/house/tabernacle- that we are.

But first Moses needed to let go of his own “bush mentality” – the SNEH סנה – allow the fire of God to consume the wood, the hay and the stubble in his life, to see, perceive, understand the message from the Angel or else it would remain a bush that never consumes and the fire would burn hotter and hotter….

However Moses had a hard time to let go, for these same letters form the word: H597 -אנס ‘ânas which means *to insist, compel – to grab hold of one to perform* and also
H5375 – נסה נשׂא – To lift up a load, a burden and carry it. (note: both spellings are valid)
When a seed-word springs up in bitterness and its resultant hate and anger (these always go together) and take a hold of someone, it inflicts the pain of carrying a burden, it compels not to let go, no matter what we try (if we try)….and all kinds of unanswered reasons keep on nagging. It grows, and grows, until we see some of its fruit and we realize this is not going to go without some supernatural help. We need the “ruler or judge to mediate the incident”. His name is YESHUA, the Word of Life, the Deliverer.
However, we have to do just like Moses. Only once he was “willing AND enabled” to turn, give up, own up and face up to his bitterness and the lack of revelation, could God call out to him. The word *call* is *kara* and means *to name the name*. In Hebrew a name, a word, is a function, a character; Moses’ name means *drawn out of the waters, rescued*. When God called to Moses, He drew him out of the waters of Mara (later on when the children of Israel faced the same thing as he did, he knew what to do), and He was telling Him, *from now on you will bear MY secret Name*, for Moses or משׁה Moshe in Hebrew, speaks of a parabolic name. That means God could bring His character, His name into Moses, cause him to overcome that “midianite” mindset he was plagued with after his failure in Egypt. Now where did this mindset come from? Didn’t God say he had a call on his life? Couldn’t his brethren see that God had appointed him? Well, NO! Just like him, they also needed eyes to see and ears to hear. He sighed about it later on as recorded in Deuteronomy 29:4 – *Yet the LORD has not given you a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, unto this day.*

When Moses humbled himself and realized he had to give up before a Mighty God, is when God answered him. He gave him eyes to see and ears to hear, a mind to perceive and a heart to receive. It caused him to turn from his wicked ways or his walk before God – the word *wicked* means to twist the Truth. He was willing to forgive the people for not receiving him when he tried to free them, though by his own power and misinterpretation of God’s ways. He had not the power of God and he was defeated.

But when God impregnated him with His revelatory Seed, when God initiated him in the mysteries of Who He is, was when Moses was set on THE Way to reap a SINAI mentality, get intimate in marriage with the Living Breath of God, also known as the *Holy Spirit Who Leads us into All Truth* and be able to cross over to the Promised Land where there is rain, the revelation founded on the Law and the Prophets, and big fruit pleasing unto God.

Every wrong mindset is covered by a veil, which is the flesh. Whatever the reason for a wound which creates unforgiveness in our life, a prickly place of no revelation, the flaming heart of God’s Love cannot consume it until we are willing to turn. We are at enmity with God. We partake of the world. It is just about impossible on our own, because the wound is real, but to God all things are possible and the Apostle Paul encourages us when he affirms in 2 Corinthians 3:16 – *Nevertheless when he shall turn to the Lord, the veil shall be taken away.* TURN TO THE LORD and let him heal the wounds the seed of the prickly bush in your Horeb has tormented you with. By God’s Grace and Mercy, He is leading me to this truth time and time again. Praised be He for His goodness towards the children of men.

This is a testimony from a student at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania. My wife Pariesa and myself (Jimmie) started a Bible study at the university in the fall of 2008 to continue spreading the word that transformed us.  Since then others have not only increased their fire for the LORD, but many have been renewed in their faith as well. This is a beautiful testimony by a young lady that declares such!   Bless you.

For as long as I can remember, I always  felt like when it came to spirituality that there was something wrong with me. Not necessarily wrong with me, but more like missing.  People always talked about God or the Spirit touching them or making them feel something. Even though during worship or prayer I would sometimes feel moved or weak, it was never anything that I could recognize. Over time I started to question God and his existence.  I knew he existed, but I questioned his ability to actually listen to my prayers and offer me guidance. I wanted him to be there, because I needed something stable in my life, so I kept going to Bible studies, hoping that one day my mental mess would be cleared up. Scriptures were just scriptures; nothing really meant anything to me.

I was praying during worship one night, and a friend came to pray over me and my struggles. She  put her hand on my back for a short time period, and  then walked away. I sensed her walk away, but later caught myself wondering why she still had her hand on my back. I was in the midst of talking to God but I was still kind of conscious of my surroundings.  As I was trying to hint to my friend that she could leave, I started to lean and shift in my seat. As I moved though, the hand didn’t leave.  Eventually I opened my eyes and looked under my seat to see whose feet were there. There were no feet!   That’s when I realized that the hand on my back was the Hand of God, and that he is big enough and powerful enough to hear and answer my smallest of prayers.

I started Forerunners’ School Of The Prophet 4 months ago and I have been
struggling with patience  praying for God to give me more revelation and understanding.

One night God showed me in a dream that he has work to do on me.
I dreamed about a wood fence. I was on one side and on the other side was a snow white fluffy cloud.  All I wanted was to get to the other side of the fence.

It had a wooden top rail and bottom rail as I walked along the fence there where pieces of fence missing sometimes  every other one, sometimes 3,4,5 or 6 pieces were missing at a time.

As I was walking I realized that the fence that was still standing was the carnality in my life that had to be removed, the whole fence had to come down for me to go into the cloud.

I had pain in my chest and was coughing for three months and I went to the doctors and he sent me for a cat-scan. When the cat-scan came back the doctor called me and told me I had two growths in my lungs and told me I would have to see a lung doctor. In the meantime, my grandson Jake said “Grandma, why don’t you come to church and get healed?” So I decided to go, and when Pastor Wayland called people up for healing, I wasn’t going to go but Pastor Joey took me by the hand and led me up front to the altar. Pastor Wayland layed his hands on me and prayed for me to be healed and I got slain in the spirit and I knew I had been healed!! I had an appointment with the lung doctor the next day and when he looked at the x-rays he said he didn’t see anything on the x-ray that I should worry about. Thank you Jesus!

Matthew 28: 19-20: “19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you…”

Colossians 1:28-29: “28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.”

After reading these two passages, we see the Lord’s genuine desire: HE WANTS DISCIPLES! HE WANTS DISCIPLES! WHY?

Luke 6:40: “40 The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master.”

HERE IS THE BLUEPRINT OF THE REPRODUCTION OF CHRIST IN US.
Everyone that is PERFECT, meaning, having reached the maturity SHALL BE AS HIS MASTER.

Let’s read these verses also.
Luke 14:25-27: “25 And there went great multitudes with him: and he turned, and said unto them,26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
27 And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.”

Here we have two distinct groups of people: the multitude and the disciples. The multitude was following Him because they saw Him perform miracles, they saw Him heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, set the captives free, etc… However, none of them can become like Yeshua. You cannot be capable to do the works He did unless one becomes His disciple, unless one takes up His yoke upon him. (This was a familiar expression in the schools of discipleship, which meant that one was to submit to the teaching of a master and none other)

The multitude could be healed through the authority and the power of the character of Yeshua, but it could not manifest any further, they could not heal others like Yeshua, unless they would become His Disciples.

Let’s not forget: EVERYONE THAT IS PERFECT SHALL BE AS HIS MASTER. Nonetheless, today, most are happy to benefit from the spiritual gift of others. Should we exact it from them? NO! Everyone cannot be a doctor, but we need doctors to heal the sick! Only one way, someone has to devote himself to medical studies under masters in order to attain an approved training and be acknowledged as such.
We know that Yeshua spoke to the multitudes in parables, because they were not able to understand, they were blind and deaf and their hearts were dull. The people were healed by the power of Yeshua, by His authority. In contrast, the disciples were nourished with the mysteries and secrets of the Kingdom of Heaven because they were predestined to be as their Master. Since He ruled and reigned as King, the disciples had to be taught the secrets of the Kingdom so they could rule and reign alike. The characteristics of a king are to possess the knowledge of the mysteries:

Isaiah 23:15 says that the lifespan of a king is 70 years. The number 70 is symbolic of the number of nations and 70 is also the numerical value of SOD, the secret. The number 70 corresponds to the letter Hebrew letter ayin, the 16^th letter in the Hebrew Aleph-Beit which speaks of the eye. In Matthew 6:22-23 Yeshua says that the eye is the light of the body, but if the Light that is in us is darkness, how great is that darkness (because of the veil). We reign through the knowledge of the secrets. The Hebrew word Mashal, which means to have dominion and to reign, also means parables and proverbs. As long as the eye of the king remains open to the parables and proverbs, he shall live and he shall reign. When Babylon saw the secrets of Hezekiah, His reign was assured.

It is the glory of kings to search out the Scriptures (Proverbs 25:2) (To reveal the secrets) In Luke 10:24 Yeshua said to His disciples that many prophets and many kings had desired to see His day, because He is THE SOD, the hidden SECRET.

John 1:14: “14 And the Word was made flesh…”

 The flesh is the veil. In fact The Dabar, the Word had been veiled, covered by a veil, though the secret was before them but they could not see it because their eyes were blinded. Moses had seen this mystery, hence why he put a veil; he even announced unto them the coming of Yeshua in Deuteronomy 18:18. But it is only at the cross that Yeshua is revealed, it is only at the cross that the secret is revealed.

The multitude will remain blind because they come to be rescued, delivered and not to become disciples.
Only the disciples, those who pick up their cross, those who submit to the instruction of the Master, shall have an “apokalupto”, a revelation, a removal of the veil and then they shall be like Him, being transformed in His image. In reality we reflect His image only according to the manifestation of the revelation of which we can testify. We know that there are two categories of people: the multitude and the disciples; however, “Dunamis” power has to be manifested on the multitude, the creative impact for the disciples to be called out.
John 6:30 “30 They said therefore unto him, What sign shewest thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what dost thou work?”

It is in the midst of the multitude that miracles are performed, the works of Christ. Let’s not forget that Yeshua has come and keeps on coming to save (sozo in Greek) the soul, to give salvation to the soul (soteria in Greek). And so right in the midst of the crowd Yeshua heals the sick, casts out demons (Acts 10:38) The Mashiach is anointed to do good and to free all who are oppressed. The teaching of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven is what will transform us to resemble the Master and enable us to do greater works. Yeshua did not say: “Go and Make” to the multitude but to His disciples. However how will you go if the nails have not pierced your feet? How will you work if the nails have not pierced your hands? He cannot delegate nor send those He has not formed, those who have not been His disciples!
Yeshua is not here personally, but He has ordained ministries to carry out the mandate to perfect the saints, the training of the disciples. The Apostles and Prophets in particular are the administrators and stewards of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. This is why Acts 2:42 declares: “42 And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship….”

The church needs to welcome again the True Fathers. Revelation 2:2 : “ …..and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars…” It is the apostleship that can change the status of a man or a woman. The apostles had to be the first to sit at the feet of Yeshua, to His service.
They were First the servants (Luke 17:7-10), then the friends (John 15:15) because of the revealing of the secrets, to end up as brothers (John 20:17), because now they share in the Inheritance.
For any training there has to be the impartation of a basic time. Yeshua accomplished 3 years and 6 months of ministry. And it is only at the end of this time that the 12 disciples became the 12 apostles.

In this era, the reading of the Torah spanned a period of 3 years; this would start and end at the feast of Simcha Torah, the rejoicing over the Torah which took place on the seventh month at the close of the feast of tabernacles (the eighth day) and six months later, is the month of Nissan, the first month of the year, which is the new year of the kings.

All of this to say that the objective in training a disciple is to make him a Master, able to equally impart the divine knowledge and even better to raise up a king able to do good and set the captives free. To sum it up, He wants to send you as Messiah to the world, being of His Seed. Christianity has regressed in many nations because Christ no longer reigns in the midst of the multitudes. Here is the goal, the reason for the impartation of the mysteries of the Kingdom to disciples. The knowledge of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven crowns you “king”.

As it says in Hebrews 5:12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers…I mean by this: “Effectively, you who for some time now ought to reign…”

Consider Simon who became Peter whose shadow was sufficient to heal the sick, consider Saul who became Paul who turned Asia upside down, consider Joseph the Levite who became Barnabas whom the Gentiles named after their god Jupiter, yes the next one is you!, if you have adhered to the right school, to the service of the one who would teach you the Word, who unveils the scriptures to you, your Forerunner through the veil which is the knowledge of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Those of us, who have been granted the privilege to hear and receive the impartation of the mysteries of the kingdom, must understand the responsibility which is ours. The quality of tomorrow’s leaders of the church depends on us who are the stewards of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Let us labor more and more to the works of the Lord on two fronts: in the midst of the multitude and towards the disciples who will side with our party. Before the sun sets in the horizon, new suns will need to rise and shine in the midst of the nation and be carriers of spiritual and physical healing!

I give thanks to God for sending me Prophet Mike Petro seven years ago! Shalom!

8:42PM never looked so good. A while back the Lord began a healing process with my vision (A More Expanded View). However on 8-14-09 Dad brought my visual healing to a full reality. What was once obscure is now clearly seen, what was once hard to see is now plainly visible, what was once hoped for has now been brought to full actualization. My vision is fully restored!
The last time I wrote a testimony about my vision the Lord opened up my peripheral vision going from east to west. I was able to see things that were going on around me, but there were still areas of my vision that needed to be touched. I knew Dad had started something, and that it was far from over. My night vision, my northern and southern peripheral vision and my long range vision still needed to be healed. On this day 8-14-09, it has happened.
The meeting that happened on that Saturday night was powerful. Dad was releasing healing and deliverance to so many people, and I was just one of many. Prophet Wayland began to pray for my eyes to be fully restored and after he prayed for me the first time I began to activate my faith and I looked up at the clock in the sanctuary which, from where I was standing, was very far off. I began to attempt to read the clock. The clock is a tan analog clock that has numbers that aren’t bolded and seemed to blend in with the background. The hands on the clock, prior to this, seemed nonexistent. However, this time was different. I looked at the clock and for the first time I noticed that “there are actually hands on the clock!” They weren’t as clear as I wanted to be, but I saw them. Prophet Way asked me what did I see, and out of fear I was afraid to say anything. I didn’t want to be wrong. I didn’t want to be disappointed. To me it looked as though the small hand was on the 8 and the large hand of the clock was between the 8 and the 9. But it was still blurry. After another minute I answered “it seems as though the small hand is on the 8″, and sure enough it was!!! He prayed for my eyes again and after he did I looked up and I saw for sure that the small hand was on the 8 and the large hand was between the 8 and the 9. The time was 8:42PM, I could see it.
I could finally see the clock, from a far off. Then he prayed for my peripheral vision going north and south. As he prayed for it my vision expanded further and further in each direction, until I fully had it all. Last but not least was my night vision. When my vision was restored in long range and fully peripheral I wanted to see if Dad had restored my night vision as well. If I had my night vision, that would mean that Dad had fully healed my eyes and I can see to drive, which has been a goal of mine for many years. So I went to test my night vision. I went to places where it was really dark, and to places which were unfamiliar. I knew that if I went to places that I knew well that I would begin to rely on my memory because when I was younger I was trained to function with this disability. I was taught to use my memory and remember landmarks and general areas in places where it was dark or hard to see. So I went to the darkest unfamiliar place that I could get to, and sure enough I could see. I noticed the sidewalk beginnings and ends. I noticed patches of grass, and dirt piles (which they call grass) and things that usually at night I would not notice. I was healed, at long last.
One thing I did notice through that evening was I had to rebuke mindsets of disappointment, fear and doubt. Before I was prayed for I had to rebuke the fear of being disappointed, that this was just going to be another prayer line for me. While being prayed for I had to rebuke all disappointment of looking up and around and activating what Dad was doing. The less I doubted, the more I noticed what he was doing, and the more I walked in the reality of what was really happening instead of the lie I thought would happen. Doctors said that at 25 I would be blind completely, I am 24 and my birthday is in September, and I have my full vision restored. Now I can see the whole picture.

Christ is calling us into Perfection!

1 John 3:2 “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is.”

-Many people have taken this scripture out of context and begin to think that it pertains to the “rapture” theory, but I am going to show you in scripture that this is not true! There is no rapture in the way that we were taught! 1 John 3:2 says that when we see Him we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. This is speaking about us getting a revelation of who He is through His Scriptures.

John 1:1 “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

John 1:14 “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.”

- These two scriptures are a direct correlation to Jesus actually being God. In John 1:1 it says that the Word was God, and then in John 1:14 it says that the word became flesh; He was the only begotten of the Father. This is referring to Yeshua (Jesus). Since the Word is God then when we get a revelation of what scripture is saying He or God begins to appear in us.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

-So the only begotten referred to in John 1:14 was Yeshua (Jesus) who is again referred to in John 3:16. So Yeshua (Jesus) is God in the flesh. Now let’s move on and see what we are called to be…

Matthew 16:24 “Then said Jesus unto His disciples, If any will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.”

-Jesus says that if we want to follow after Him we must deny ourselves, our wants, our desires, our will, our beastly nature and take up our cross. One might wonder, what was the cross used for? The cross is for death, and not a natural death but a death to self! We must die to our natural desires! This is why Paul says:

Galatians 2:20 “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.”

-Paul says that He was crucified with Christ. Now, let me ask you this, was Paul naturally crucified with Christ? He was not. This is speaking about him denying his beastly human nature so that Christ would abide in him. He says that it is no longer I that live, but Christ lives in me.

 I had a dream a while back where I was standing on a beach and I was fully covered in almost like a glowing bubble. The only way that I can describe this is that it was Gods glory covering me. But as I was standing on the beach I could see that all over this glory was sand, and some of the sand began to fall off but there was still some sand on me. Now sand, dust and dirt speak of carnal things or flesh. What God was showing me through that dream is that underneath our flesh is the Glory which is Christ. The more we deny ourselves to more Christ abides in us.

1 Corinthians 15:31 “I protest by your rejoicing which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.”

-Paul says that he dies daily, and again, this is not a natural death; he is speaking about dying to his will, his wants, and his desires so that he can do the will of the Father. I want to encourage you to go back and read all of 1 Corinthians chapter 15. You will see how this whole chapter is a prophetic break down about the resurrection of the dead. Let me shine a little light on this resurrection. When Yeshua (Jesus) went to the cross He died, but then He was buried, and then He rose again. He became the resurrection life; He became alive spiritually because His flesh was now dead! This is the process that we must come through. We must pick up our crosses and die to the things that we want and seek God for His will. Once we die to those things we will also resurrect into a spiritual life. Scripture tells us that Christ was crucified for our sins, but that does not mean that because He died we can live however we want, but there is a process that takes place in us. If we are saved because Christ died on the cross then that means that everyone from the Old Testament would have gone to hell because Yeshua (Jesus) had not yet died for our sins.. Think about it!

2 Corinthians 4:10 “Always bearing about in the body, the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.”

- Let me give an example: If we have a thought, and this thought does not line up with the Word of God then what we create in our though is an idol to the LORD. We have to smash that idol through the crucifixion of our, and allow God’s life and thoughts to become our life and thoughts. Please do not take this naturally! This does not mean afflict your flesh and physically harm yourself! This means that we need to spend time with the Lord and seek His face so that we will know what His desire is for our lives. Once He reveals to us what He wants us to do, we must put it into action and obey Him. Also, if you notice that scripture reads, “That the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.” Hallelujah! Christ is supposed to manifest or appear in us! The more we die the more Christ appears in us!

Philippians 2:12 “Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”

-We are responsible for our own salvation, so to speak. This comes through obedience to God’s will for our life, and it is clear that we must walk out our salvation with fear and trembling. Meaning we are not guaranteed to get into heaven just because Christ died for our sins, so we must come through the same process so that He can be resurrected in us! Salvation comes when He is resurrected in us. If He is still dead in us and has never risen then we have not been awakened to our spiritual life; therefore, we are still bound to this world and servants to sin.

Genesis 6:5 “And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and every imagination of the thoughts of his heart only evil continually. 6 And it repented the LORD that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart. 7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them.”

-  We must understand that our carnal nature sets its thoughts and its affections on things that are evil, and continually does so! This is why our thoughts and imaginations have to be crucified. God was sorry that He even created man because of the way they had chosen to live; they became evil in His sight. God has given us a free will, meaning we can either choose to serve Him or we can do what we want. The problem with this is that what we want our thoughts and our evil desires to be done. If we choose our own will we forfeit our salvation and turn away from God.

2 Corinthians 10:5 “Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;”

1 Peter 3:17 “For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.”

-Peter tells us that we should suffer for well doing than for evil doing. Meaning if we are truly serving Christ we will suffer. It does not say that we will have a great life and be happy all the time and have money to buy whatever we want and that we will not suffer, Peter says that we will suffer for well doing. However, what is our reward for suffering on behalf of our Lord Yeshua (Jesus) the Christ? We will inherit eternal life. Those that do evil will also suffer as well, but their reward will be eternity in hell.

2 Peter 2:4-6 ” For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned with an overflow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly:”

- God sent even the angels to hell for their sins (sin means a lack of understanding). Because they didn’t understand who God was they operated out of their own thoughts and became condemned! I know a lot of people preach that we are saved by grace, but grace actually speaks of provision, God gives us provision (His word) so that we can live our lives holy before Him.

Romans 1:17-21 “For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith. 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed unto them. 20 For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen by things that are made, His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish hearts were darkened.”

-These are very powerful scriptures! God’s righteousness is revealed from faith to faith. Our natural thoughts are evil (unrighteous) and the only way to have righteous thoughts revealed to us is through faith. If you were to study into what faith is you will find that Faith is Yeshua (Jesus) living within us! Yet again we must crucify our flesh, our unrighteousness, our evil thoughts, so that Faith will come to life in us and reveal to us what righteousness is from faith to faith, which is a process! Then it goes on to say that wrath is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness. This is saying that there are a people who are holding truth, but they are still living unrighteous lifestyles. That means that they are not being crucified with Christ and allowing Him to transform their minds. They are hearers of the word and not doers. It also goes on to say that they knew God; the word knew is a Jewish idiom for intercourse. In Luke 8:11 Yeshua says that “The seed is the Word of God” the seed can speak of a seed that goes into the ground to produce plants and trees etc. but it also speaks of sperm. This means that we are to be impregnated by the word of God so that we can birth out His very character and nature (But that is a whole other teaching) these were a people who where once impregnated with God’s word, but they became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish hearts were darkened. This sounds like a people who have lost their salvation…

Ephesians 4:13-15 “Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: 14 That we be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind and doctrine, by the sleight of men, cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into Him in all things, which is the Head, Christ:”

-These scriptures say that we must come unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, and that we must grow up into Him (Christ) in all things. He is the Head we are the body! When our head thinks we need to start moving… This is proof that the “rapture” theory cannot be true, we cannot just be living sinful ungodly lives and then when Christ returns we are transformed into His image and inherit eternal life… Scripture is clear that Salvation is a process, and we must work it out with fear and trembling!

Romans 12:2 “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

-So what is the perfect will of God? That we be transformed by the renewing of our minds! What are we being transformed into? The fullness of the Stature of Christ! Christ died so that we could have the provision to obtain this in our natural bodies, and frankly if we do not go through this process we will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven!

Matthew 7:13-14 “enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.”

2 Corinthians 12:9 “And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”

Colossians 1:28 “Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:”

-Colossians 1:28 says that they were preaching, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: I know a lot of religions will only preach on certain things because they don’t want to offend people, well let me tell you the word of God is offensive! It comes to bring conviction so that we will see the way we are living is unrighteous and begin to seek after God to transform us.

Luke 12:51 “Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division:”

2 Corinthians 4:11 “For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.”

-It is time for the true Bride of Christ (The Church) to arise and bring distinction in the earth!

I Pray that you will begin to meditate on these scriptures and ask the Lord to reveal even more to you and what it is that He wants you to sacrifice at this time, what you must die to so that He can bring resurrection life into your body. I pray that you will begin to seek after the Lord with your whole heart and cling to Him in the times of pressing. Trust me, it does not feel good to die to those things that we want, but Christ has paid the price so that we can endure those things that must come to pass in our lives! Seek the Lord and You Shall Find Him.

Bless You,
Melissa

Shalom to all my brothers and sisters in Christ,

I’m writing to share with you what The Lord has been pressing upon my heart. I believe we are stepping into a season of great grace for the body of Christ. There has been an increase of power and manifestation of the appearing of Christ and it is only going to become more intense. Grace is God’s provision to overcome what you could not overcome before. Jesus Christ being our grace died on the cross so we can be overcomers. It was free because He paid the price. Now I believe we are in the season where the body of Christ needs to be like Jesus and pay a price so that others can be set free. Jesus is our kinsman redeemer and He bought us back from the slavery of sin. But if you understand the process in Leviticus 25:50 you have to reckon with the one who bought you! Meaning we have to pay Christ back for taking on our debt. How in the world can we do that? Simple, the word, reckon in ancient Hebrew means sit and learn and turn over your mindsets! Buy truth and sell it not (Proverbs 23:23). Just a Christ is our grace or provision; we need to die to self to become the provision for others. Ephesians 2:8-9 says for by grace ye are saved through faith. It is a gift of God not works so that any man should boast. Grace is a gift! The word gift in the Greek means gratuity or payment that comes from a sacrifice! As we sacrifice our carnal nature and our desires, God fills us with provision or riches of His word to overcome the enemy. Acts 4:33 says that great grace was upon the early church, but if you read the entire context it was because they were all of one mind and heart and had all things common! So what’s the revelation? We all pay a price to come into revelation that sets us free from carnality and sin, but it’s not for us to keep for ourselves. We are to pour out the riches of grace and power to those who are poor and weak so no one in the body is in lack. I believe this is a season for the body of Christ to come together for the same purpose…Manifesting the nature of Jesus in the earth! When we all come together and share the riches of our intimate encounters with Jesus then there will be a body with no lack! As I pay a price for the gospel I give to you freely and as you pay a price for the gospel you give me freely. Now where I lack I am now rich and where you lack you are now rich! Pray that the great grace to do greater works for the great harvest would be upon the Body of Christ now!

Shalom,
Wayland Henderson

One Sunday early the Lord put the word love in my spirit. So I knew He would be leading me in that area. As I read the Word later in the morning my mind was arrested by 1 John 3:17 —bowels of compassion— relating to helping someone in need. Compassion, I saw I did not have! Why “bowels”? That is the area along with the liver and kidneys of our emotions. My bowels had been shut up since age six when my dad molested me. Inner reaction caused constipation most of my life. My doctor said “No white bread”, but that never really helped!

The revelation that this was the source of my physical and emotional blockage led me to repent, forgive and release. I truly thanked Yeshua for being healed.

In the afternoon I drove to a fellowship where we worship, study the Word and then have supper together. One family came with their year old daughter Vera, who had a hole in her heart and they were heading for tests in Ottawa the next day. I know the grandmother, Joan, who asked me if I saw the terrible eczema sores on the young mother’s (Rita’s) arms and hands… I saw the sores, but when I looked at her, she also looked ’strange’ to me (I don’t know how else to describe it). When I went over to Rita, she said she knew I had a word for her. I don’t know what I said, but the moment I put my arm around her and started talking to her, Father God filled me with such love for her that I actually saw her face change (she no longer looked ’strange’ to me anymore)! She melted and I rejoiced! I was studying Pastor Jimmie’s School of the Prophet class on the Love of God at the time.

Multiplication (Rabah )

We are in a season of multiplication Bride!

Genesis 1:22 (King James Version)

 ²²And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.

For several weeks the language of my tongue began to change. I started saying new words in the Holy Spirit. Some of these words I have written them below, but the two main words were the Hebrew words (Rabah and Chatsah) and you will see the meanings below.

I felt the Lord say that we are in a season of increase. The Lord is enlarging and there is an acceleration happening. He is causing us to be nourished by the rain of His wonderful Glory. We are about to walk in the abundance of his promises, His Golden Glory rain!

We are in a (kyiros) appointed time. There is a shift in time, and even the process of time is changing. There is what I saw as a shaft of time. The shaft is a quickening that is taking place. As I began my study about “Multiplication” this is what I found.

The Hebrew word for Multiplication is  7235; Strong’s Concordance; rabah, raw-baw a prim root to increase (in whatever respect):- to bring (in)abundance (x-antly), a archer, be in authority, bring up, x to continue, to enlarge, excel, exceeding (-ly), be full of, (be- make), great (-er,ly, x-ness), grow up, heap, increase, be long, (be, give, have make, use) many (a time) (any, be, give, give the, have) more (in number)(ask, be, be so, gather, over, take, yield), much, (greater, more), make to, multiply, nourish, plenteous,  process of time), sore, store, thoroughly, very.

The word Rabah is connected the Hebrew word 7232; rabab, raw bab; a prim root (rather indent. with 7231 thought the idea of projection); to shoot an arrow:-shoot Hebrew 7231; rabab, raw bab; a prim root; prop. to cast together(comp 7241) i.e.; increase, e spec in number, also (as demon from 7233) to multiply by the myriad:- increase, be many (-fold), be more, multiply, ten thousands. Hebrew 7241; rabiyd, raw beeb; from 7231; a rain (as a accumulation of drops):- shower. Hebrew 7233; reb aw baw, from 7231, abundance (in number) ie. (spec) a myriad (whether def or in def):- many million
x multiply, ten thousand.

The other word comes from the word Hebrew word Arrow.

The Hebrew word for Arrow is Strong’s Concordance; 2678; chitstsiy; khits stee or chetsiy khay tsee (prob from 2671); an arrow :- an arrow.

Arrow is from Hebrew 2671; chitstsiy, from 2686; properly a piercer, i.e., an arrow; by implication a wound; fig of (God) thunder bolt, (by interchange for 6086) the shaft of a spear:- +archer, arrow, dart, shaft, staff, wound. Hebrew 2686; chatsats; khaw tsats, a prim root (comp 2673), prop to chop into, pierce or sever; hence to curtail, to distribute (into ranks); as denom. from 2671, to shoot an arrow:- an archer, x bands, cut off in the midst. Hebrew 2673; chatsah; khaw tsaw; a prim root (comp 2686), to cut or split into two, to halve, :- divide, x live out half, reach to the midst, reach out.

I began reading Genesis and the process of light. I saw how the Chatsah takes place. In Genesis 1:3 when God said let there be light. As mention already, the word chatsah; khaw tsaw is a primitive root (compare 2686), to cut or split into two, to halve, divide, live out half, reach to the midst, reach out.

(God reached out and there was an effect that took place, out of nothing something began to be formed.)

In Genesis 1:.4

And God saw that the light was good and he divided the light from the darkness.

1.chitstsiy, chatsats, chatsah and rabab takes place.

chitstsiy, from 2686;prop a piercer, i.e., an arrow; by implication a wound; fig of (God) thunder bolt, (by interchange for 6086) the shaft of a spear chatsats; khaw tsats, a prim root (comp 2673), prop to chop into, pierce or sever; hence to curtail, to distribute,(into ranks); as denom. from 2671, to shoot an arrow chatsah; khaw tsaw; a prim root (comp 2686), to cut or split into two, to halve, rabah, raw-baw a prim root to increase (in whatever respect)

(So in essence, God uses His arrow, He uses the shaft of His spear, pierces and , division takes place between the light and darkness)

Genesis 1:9

 Then God said ” Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place

1.rabah

rabah, raw-baw a prim root to increase (in whatever respect) rabab, raw bab; a prim root; prop. to cast together(comp 7241) ie; increase, e spec in number, also (as demon from 7233) to multiply by the myriad

(There is a multiplication and a gathering that takes effect also an increase).

Genesis 1:11

Then god said ” Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree
that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its own kind”

2.reb aw baw ” “

rabah, raw-baw a prim root to increase (in whatever respect) rabab, raw bab; a prim root; prop. to cast together(comp 7241) ie; increase, e spec in number, also (as demon from 7233) to multiply by the myriad. Reb aw baw, from 7231, abundance (in number) ie. (spec) a myriad (whether def or in def):- many million, multiply, ten thousand.

(Here the Lords word is like a spear, it is bringing an increase, a casting together and an abundance of seed and multiplication)

Genesis 1:14

And god said ‘Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night”

1. chastah
chatsah; khaw tsaw; a prim root (comp 2686), to cut or split into two, to halve,

(Here we see Division)

Gen 1:16

16           Then God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He made the stars also.

(NKJ)

1.chastah

chatsah; khaw tsaw; a prim root (comp 2686), to cut or split into two, to halve,

(Here we see God cutting or splitting into two, to halve)

We can see this in Genesis chapter 6

Genesis  6:18

18           “But I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark– you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.

(NKJ)

I looked up the word covenant in Hebrew it means to cut. Hebrew 1285 briyth, ber-eeth;from 1262 (in the sence of cutting (like 1254) because made by passing between pieces of flesh):-confederacy, covenant.

When you look at the root  1262 barah, baw-raw it means; a prim root; to select; also as (from 1250) to feed; also (as equiv to 1305) to render clear (Eccl 8.18):- choose, (cause to) eat, manifest, (give) meat.

Also, take a look at what 1285 is compared to; 1254 bara; baw-raw; a prim root; (absol) to create; (qualified) to cut down (a wood), select, feed (as formative processes):- choose, create (creator), cut down, dispatch, do make, fat.

We see God cutting His covenant within every area within the Word of God.  Every time He did so, it was to make manifest something new in order to feed, to divide and to give what he chose to His chosen people. This is a covenant that is beginning to manifest in a people that are being created by the WORD God is causing them to eat of, and that word is cutting flesh, and it is cutting out the wood of carnality in the hearts of His people!

Right throughout the book of Genesis, and scripture we see these words-

1.rabah
2.rabab
3.reb aw baw
4.rabiyd
5.chitstsiy
6.chatsats
7.chatsah

The word Arrow is actually first mentioned in 1 Samuel 20.36 This is where Jonathan’s loyalty to David was determined. Jonathan made a covenant with the house of David, and Jonathan caused David to make a vow with him because he loved David so much.

Here, we see an arrow of division against Jonathon’s father and multiplication at the same time by Jonathon making this stand; we will see that in the future as a mighty army begins to arise.

Acts 2:44-47

44           Now all who believed were together, and had all things in common,

45           and sold their possessions and goods, and divided them among all, as anyone had need.

46           So continuing daily with one accord in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they ate their food with gladness and simplicity of heart,

47           praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to the church daily those who were being saved.

(NKJ)

In Verse 45 we can see where the Chatsah takes place and in verse 46 where the Rabah takes place, and there is also an increase that we begin to see happening. In verse 47 we see the Rabab increase of souls that begins to manifest as well. As a people begin to come together there is a Re aw baw multiplication that starts to take effect.

Acts 4:4

4              However, many of those who heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

(NKJ)

Here in Acts 4, we see the Rabab increase and gathering taking place together with the Re aw baw multiplication. Again and Again in the book of Acts we can see the increase and multiplication all over!

Jeremiah 10:13

13           When He utters His voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens: “And He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightning for the rain, he brings the wind out of His treasuries.”

(NKJ)

I love this verse so much! The Lord here is using His arrow-like-speared voice to pierce the heavens.  The lightning is used for bringing illumination to the rain as He brings out the wind from His treasuries. Halleluiah, so, we see the rabab in the arrow of His voice and the chitstsiy in the piercing and the thunderbolts that bring the rain of rabiyd for a rabah increase!

Our words are to be used as HIS, a spear to cut and divide that of the flesh from that of the spirit. The SWORD is the WORD of God; it cuts and divides and it brings in the rain of God. The Sword is the manifested WORD that brings the multiplication.

So I say “Lord chatsah, rabah, rabab, rabiyd ” Divide, release and increase your arrows for rain and multiplication !

For this reason He is causing us to be archers in His Kingdom of Light!

May the LORD richly bless you.

Hello and Shalom to all brothers and sisters,
I want to give all thanks to Abba-Dad for His TRUTH by His word coming in and setting us free…

A couple weeks ago my friends ,Jane and her husband David , started listening to the tapes with me. After the first day of listening to it with them there was a manifestation of GOLD DUST on our bathroom floor and this past two weeks thereabout when she visited her doctor, she came home and said “the doctor took me off coumadin’”, she knew it was healing from God.  Praise YOU DAD!!!!
Also she has suffered a badly twisted if not broken ankle and she experienced a massive healing on that.

I’ve sent some of the audio teachings to my natural parents and siblings who live abroad with
the hope of DAD’s Word going to begin to break false mindsets, ites and demonic spirits there too…
For great healings in all areas
thank you DAD

Introduction:

There is a danger in giving out revelation.  There are those who use the information for sermon highlights, or to fill their heads with head knowledge.  Instead of revelation, it becomes carnal information to them.  The word “revelation” means removal of the veil, and in order for it to remain revelation the veils over our eyes must continually be being removed.  That is what happened with the New Testament revelation of Yeshua.  The references to the Torah and Tenach were revelation to the writers, and people of that day, but that information was to be used as “eye salve”  to the Gentiles, so that they would learn how to get eyes to see and ears to hear.  Instead it became for many just more head knowledge.

The illustration given in Deut. 22: 6 and 7, of the bird’s next found in the way, is an example of this.  The mother bird is the revealed revelation. You are to take the young to yourself, and let the mother go free.  In other words, that which is already revealed should work as a springboard for you to “grow up” other revelation which the Holy Spirit wants to reveal to you.

 We tend to think each time we get revelation that that is as deep as it goes.  It always goes deeper.  The natural example is the physical world.  When the cell was discovered through the microscope we thought we had the answer to everything. Then came the nucleus, then DNA, then molecular compounds, then the discovery of all time – atoms.  But, from the atom sprang electrons, protons and neutrons, then mesons and hadrons, then quarks.  But it didn’t end there, there were things (gluons and pions) that held these together which were smaller yet, and now they’re talking about string theory, and it goes on and on.   Spiritually we think we are catching up?  Hardly.  There is always more to discover in God.  Since the spiritual usually follows the natural, it seems we have a long way to go.  Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, were honored, because at the very least, they saw the next level.  At times they realized they were acting out prophecy.  Abraham became the Father of Faith, because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.  Abraham saw the revelation through the Word.  After he “saw” it he believed the truth.  He also through spiritually “seeing”  came to the conclusion; God is awesome, and he can do anything….  So Abraham changed his life, to walk in that revealed truth. 

Jesus came to say,  “Herein lies the key.  There is something different here.  The scriptures are not what they appear to be… they are me, “Yeshua”. The end is me. I am the beginning and the end. Every layer you unveil is more of me”.  Before his resurrection why didn’t he tell them plainly?  Because he wanted them to be like him.  The veil removal from your eyes and ears, also removes it from your heart, from your life. It’s the circumcision.  As you eat of that revelation it becomes a part of you.  But it can’t be eaten with natural eyes for flesh gives birth only to flesh.  The information you learn with your natural eyes is the carnal or baby stuff – it’s the young from the mother bird, which allows you to take it, grow it up yourself, and have yourself unveiled.

 Just as Yeshua was not who he appeared to be in the natural, your real self is not who you appear to be.  You are the image of God, and that image has to be unveiled for you to walk in it.  The carnal, natural is only the springboard to help you enter into the spiritual.  Those who worship (lay down their lives and take up the life of another), must realize that God is spirit, and those that worship Him must worship in Spirit and in Truth.   (The Spirit is the Holy Spirit, and the Truth is the Word.) In short, it is the revelatory or spiritual, rhema Word.  In other words, they must lay down their life by getting the revelation, and at the same time they are picking up the life of Yeshua.  It is a continual cycle, explained by the day and night.  Every time you get a  revelation you lay down your life and die to yourself (night), then pick up his life and live in it (day), lay down your life and die to it, pick up his life and live to it.  In the dawning your eyes are opened. 

When we are filled to the brim with revelation, Yeshua sets our sacrifice on fire. We become that burning bush of revelation that only speaks forth Him. 

The rabbis teach that there are four levels (rivers) of teaching in the Torah: peshat, remez, derashah, and sod.  Peshat and remez deal primarily with natural understanding. Derashah and sod understanding comes through revelation from the Holy Spirit.  The sod is the deep mysteries and most intimate level.  The four levels can be summed up in the following verse:

Eph 3:17  That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,

Eph 3:18  May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

Eph 3:19  And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.

Of note, is that one river flowed into Eden, and four rivers flowed out.  With the same token, only two rivers flowed out of Babylon.  (The first two, the natural understanding only).

What I have been talking about when I talk about getting eyes to see and ears to hear, is the spiritual understanding.  It is the understanding of the last two levels.  It has to be guided into through the Holy Spirit, because it is the Holy Spirit which must fill us with the fulness of God.  The “mother bird”  (Deut. 22:6-7) is not the revelation which will give you light.  It will only produce the moon glory, or reflected glory in you.  Only when you take that revelation to yourself, meditate upon it, and “hatch” the eggs and raise the young produced by that revelation will you become that light.  There you move from the moon glory to the star (that which also has some darkness) and the sun (total light) glory.

But Jesus said to put eyesalve upon your eyes.  Eyesalve is natural understanding produced by those who see.  It is studying the symbolisms, and known revelation so that you can see more.  It is the “mother bird” which will lay the eggs for you to grow more. 

Joel refers to these mysteries as the former and latter rain.   The former rain refers to Yeshua’s first coming, and the latter rain refers to his second coming.  Yeshua showed us that the whole scripture is written as a parable.  Dad (YHVH) orchestrated it so that it all happened, but the nation of Israel was to be that parable to the world.  Yeshua also said that Moses wrote of him (Jn 5:46).  Moses wrote all the stories of the Patriarchs, and about the Tabernacle, and the Law.  John 1:14 says that the word (logos, or written Torah) was made flesh … speaking of Yeshua.  So the biggest key we have was the one Yeshua gave us.  To look for him and God’s redemptive plan throughout. 

The latter rain is the revelation of the second coming of Yeshua.  The second coming is about Yeshua coming first in the Bride.  Once you have found Yeshua in the scriptures it is easy to start seeing the Bride, for nearly everything that is true of Yeshua is later true of the Bride.

 Rom 8:29  For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

Once you start seeing the Bride portrayed, you realize that there is even a deeper revelation.  It brings even more union which Yeshua.  It’s what cleans up the Bride.  It’s how the Bride must “make herself ready”.  It’s the intimacy with the Father, it’s realizing that everything you thought was “outside”, is also inside.  It’s getting the “ites”  or “giants”, not only out of your physical house, but out of your spiritual house – out of you.  You are the house, you are the land, there are wars within you that have to be overcome.  It’s seeing what you are battling with through the Word.  It’s seeing every story unveiled in you.  It’s not only crossing over and entering the land, but living in the Land, and becoming the Land.  Not only living in the Sabbath, but becoming the Sabbath, not only living in the Garden of Eden, but becoming the Garden of Eden.  Not only living in Yeshua, but becoming a part of Yeshua.  It’s returning to the state of Adam before the fall.…

Soooo,  that was the introduction for our story of Ehud and Eglon in Judges 3. 

Ehud and Eglon — Who Has the Keys?

Jdg 3:12  And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the LORD: and the LORD strengthened Eglon the king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the sight of the LORD.

Jdg 3:13  And he gathered unto him the children of Ammon and Amalek, and went and smote Israel, and possessed the city of palm trees.

Israel means “to rule as God”,  it also means “to prevail with God”.  The “with God” is key though.  The city of the palm trees is Jericho, the first city taken after crossing over into the promised land.  This battle is key to walking in victory.   The name Jericho comes from the root, resh, het.  Associated words include “month”, and “ruach”.   In Hebrew the months mark different feast times – all which speak of returning to God’s timetable of events.  Ruach, of course, speaks of the breath of God.  His breath is necessary to make the dry bones (those spiritually asleep) arise.  Jericho is called the “city of palm trees”, for palm trees are the spiritual pillars of the faith.  They produce the date palm which in scripture is usually what produces the honey.  The Promise Land is a land flowing with milk and honey.  The milk is for the new babies, and the honey is the sweetness of the Word produced from those who have become the Word. 

Moab and Ammon are both children of Lot from the incestuous relationship with his daughter.  This speaks of a people that are not getting the seed Word of God from the true Father, but instead are impregnating their own daughter (carnal nature).  They then have no ability to pass on the true seed. 

Amalek is a descendant of Esau.  His name means “a dweller in the valley”.  The Hebrew letters for “amal” mean, “toil, worry, misery”, etc.  The Hebrew word “amar” was originally in Ancient Hebrew spelled “amal”.  Amar means to “say or give an utterance”.   Being a dweller in the valley, means that the person has never gotten past Jezreel or the place where the seed is sown.  They have never progressed from being a baby Christian to ascending into the high places with Yeshua.  This is a person who only knows the carnal interpretation of the word (the baby stuff – 1 Cor. 3:1 ) and when beset by the problems of this life, are overcome by doubt, worry, and filled with their own efforts.  King Saul was killed by an Amalekite.  He was wounded in battle.  A young man came to him (all it takes is little thoughts).  The thought given in 2 Sam 1:10, was that he would not live.  He received this doubt, and it moved in and killed him with his own sword (his own carnal word).  It removed his crown (authority) and bracelet (anointing on his hand – ministry) from him. 

Vs. 12 says that the LORD strengthened Eglon, king of Moab against Israel.  Eglon comes from the Hebrew word “aygel” which means a “frisky, male calf, a steer”.  A “steer” is one that does not have the means to reproduce”. Spiritually speaking,  he has been cut off from the true seed and can not reproduce.  This is the problem in the church today.  Pastors are not growing the seed within themselves to the point where they are becoming the seed.  (seeds bring forth more seeds, unless it is a barren tree).  Instead, the messages given out appeal to the soulish realm.  Strong emotional appeals come from these “frisky calves”, but are these frisky calves receiving the rain of revelation which can grow up their trees to produce the true seed?  This soulish realm draws followers that want to improve their lives, but there is a big difference between improvement and dying to self which brings forth the anointed (messiah) life. 

Jdg 3:14  So the children of Israel served Eglon the king of Moab eighteen years.

Eighteen in this case speaks of a completion of the discipline (it is also often associated with brass or bondage) of the LORD, and an entrance into a new beginning (eight).  Luke 13:16 is one example – the woman was bowed over in bondage eighteen years before Yeshua set her free.

Jdg 3:15  But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer, Ehud the son of Gera, a Benjamite, a man lefthanded: and by him the children of Israel sent a present unto Eglon the king of Moab.

This is where it gets good.  Because of their cry, the LORD raised them up a deliverer (Hebrew word: yasha – sounds a lot like Yashua – whose name/character is salvation).  Ehud means united.  It comes from Strong’s number H258 achad, which is spelled in Hebrew exactly the same as echad in the Shema.   “Hear  O’ Israel the LORD our God is one”.   Ehud was the son of Gera which means grain.  It is where the word gerah or coin comes from, it is also spelled with a gimel, resh parent root. Gimel, resh means to ruminate.  It speaks of those who re-chew the Word and thoroughly digest it. 

 Ehud was a Benjamite.  A Benjamite speaks of the Bride, being the younger brother of Joseph, who is a type of Yeshua in the Scriptures.  Ehud was lefthanded.  Yeshua did everything with his left-hand, meaning his whole ministry (his hand), was controlled from his left side – he was exalted to the right hand of the Father, so he operated from that side (his left).  It’s just another way of saying, “I only do what I see my Father in heaven doing”.  

By him, the children of Israel sent a present (sacrificial offering) to Eglon.   “Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift”.  The gift was Ehud himself.   Who does Ehud represent?  First he represents Yeshua (early rain revelation). Then he represents the Bride (latter rain revelation),  then he represents the Bride becoming the revelation  or the revelation itself (intimacy or bridal chamber revelation).   God made the Word become flesh,  Yeshua makes the flesh become Word.  We become the epistle written in flesh.  When the children of Israel delivered Yeshua up to be crucified they were giving Eglon,— that principality that only carries the carnal Word or logos word, that never opens up the true seed of God so that it can grow,— they were giving him a present.

Jdg 3:16  But Ehud made him a dagger which had two edges, of a cubit length; and he did gird it under his raiment upon his right thigh.

When Yeshua came and became the Word, he brought the spiritual understanding to the Torah.  He was thus making a dagger.  A dagger has two edges. You could say it’s the Old and New Testament which when they merge together at the point are the revelation.  You could also say it is the logos, parable Word (Messiah concealed), as one side, and the other side is the rhema, spiritual Word (Messiah revealed).  Where the two sides come together is the point or the revelation or the parable, which when you receive it,  kills all carnality or flesh in you.   He gird the dagger under his raiment.  Raiment refers to the priestly garments and the robe of righteousness which Yeshua wore.  The bride is also to wear the same garments.  Yeshua becomes our robe of righteousness, and our priestly garments, which are also our wedding garments.  We wear Him.  We are protected in Him.  The right thigh  also refers to the loins or reproductive area.  When we become the Word, we are the dagger that Yeshua can pull from his right side (the side of the Bride), and use.

Jdg 3:17  And he brought the present unto Eglon king of Moab: and Eglon was a very fat man.

Eglon was a very fat man.  Whereas the blood of the beast represents the beastly nature, fat represents the abundance of that system. It can represent prosperity both in the natural and spiritual. It can also be a veil over the heart and ears which spiritually prevents us from getting eyes to see and ears to hear.  The fat was to be cut off and offered up as a sacrifice.  As we die to self, He can live through us.  As we get revelation, the veil is removed.  (Apo- kalupto,  the word for revelation means – removal of the veil).

Jdg 3:18  And when he had made an end to offer ^{H7126 (H853)} the present, he sent away the people that bare the present.

“When he had made an end”  is the Hebrew word “kalaw” which means “to complete, finish, expire”.   Ehud/ Yeshua offered up the present by expiring his life into us.  By this he gave us the breath of the Holy Spirit.  Notice there is an Aleph/Tav (Strong’s number H853) following the word “to offer”.  Yeshua said He was the Aleph and Tav.    There were those who “bore” the present.  There were those who lifted him up,  who brought him forth. 

Jdg 3:19  But he himself turned again from the quarries that were by Gilgal, and said, I have a secret errand unto thee, O king: who said, Keep silence. And all that stood by him went out from him.

Gilgal is supposed to be a place of salvation, of the rolling away of burdens, but there were idols there.  Yeshua turned away from these.  Instead he said to Eglon, “I have a secret errand/message unto thee…”  Ehud was bringing forth his secret weapon:  the revelation, — the dagger he had made with his life. 

Jdg 3:20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was sitting in a summer parlour, which he had for himself alone. And Ehud said, I have a message from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat.

 Eglon at the time reminds me of a leader that makes himself fat at the expense of others. Fat is prosperity.  He had a summer parlor, a place of cooling off from the sun’s heat, but it was for himself alone.  He was a disconnected part of the body.  A head which keeps his body in bondage.  Ehud now entered this arena.  He approached him as the message from God because he has become the message.  It’s not clear to me which one arose.  Sitting speaks of being in a place of learning, especially sitting at someone’s feet.  Arising sometimes means to fulfill, which would speak of the resurrection, and it could be to arise in a hostile sense. 

Jdg 3:21  And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the dagger from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly:

With the authority of the Father he took out the dagger (the Bride or the revelation) which he had made.  He took it from his reproductive area and area of strength and thrust it into Eglon’s belly (his prophetic womb). 

Jdg 3:22  And the haft also went in after the blade; and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he could not draw the dagger out of his belly; and the dirt came out.

We can get the meaning of the haft going in after the blade from the Ancient Hebrew pictograms.  It actually means the “seed going through the wall”.  In other words after the dagger went into his prophetic womb, there was a true seed planted.  “… and the dirt came out”,  the dirt is excrement.  It’s that which pollutes and defiles.  It’s the evil spirits that prevent true birth. 

All of this is another way of showing that in the latter rain, Yeshua is coming in the rain.  The rain is the dagger, the revelation of the Word.  But, what is wonderful, is that if we allow that revelation to come in, Yeshua will come in with it. 

It is interesting to note that William Branham had a vision of the Sword of the Lord.  In this vision the handle was made of pearl.  Pearl represents the parables, the mysteries of the Kingdom.  It is something of worth that is hidden.  It also is the hidden Messiah which is Yeshua. 

Jdg 3:23  Then Ehud went forth through the porch, and shut the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them.

Yeshua went into the carnal church system (a system which is actually supposed to be the true Kingdom), dealt a death blow to it’s leader and then reclosed the door and locked it, but now HE has he keys.

 Jdg 3:24  When he was gone out, his servants came; and when they saw that, behold, the doors of the parlour were locked, they said, Surely he covereth his feet in his summer chamber.

Where is this God of Elijah.  Where is the deliverance that he has promised?  The servants or prophets of that system, have been waiting at the doors expecting their deliverer to come forth alive.  They don’t realize that Yeshua came and went.  Many have served a golden calf who for 2000 years through religion, has hijacked us away from the true God.  But, for 2000 years has been dead.  Now they are at the place where they are making excuses for him.  Eglon is not coming out to them because now he no longer has the ability or the keys to come out.  But you can go in – you can find the revelation. Inside those closed doors inside the carnal you will still find life.  Inside the logos, or carnal Word is still the rhema or spiritual Word  For the sword is the Living Word.  With the revelation, the “haft” went in” .  Within the carcass of the lion he made honey.  Yeshua left his seed, and it’s alive.   But it’s hidden, it’s locked up and they don’t even know it. 

Jdg 3:25  And they tarried till they were ashamed: and, behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour; therefore they took a key, and opened them: and, behold, their lord was fallen down dead on the earth.

The only way to enter now is to get the keys (the eyesalve), open the door, realize that the false messiah that has been put there, has been put there by religion, and that he is dead.  But the true messiah the hidden Yeshua is alive. 

This is happening  now.  Just as Yeshua brought the revelation to Eglon, typified by the religious system during his first coming,  the Bride is bringing the revelation during his second coming.   The revelation is the Word of God.  Yeshua became the Word by dying to self.  Through Yeshua, the Bride becomes the Word by dying to self.  When the revelation of the Word is brought forth it becomes that two edged dagger that kills the religious system.  As the revelation goes in, the Haft or seed of Yeshua also goes in.  It is Yeshua formed in us.  It is the seed that will bring forth new life.  The old Eglon with his waxed gross flesh dies as the seed starts to grow, and the true Kingdom is restored.  The doors have been locked, Yeshua was the only one who could open the seal, but now he’s given us those same keys.  

Who is Eglon?  Intimacy revelation reveals that you are Eglon.  I am Eglon. Eglon is our beastly nature that has captured us and put us into  bondage by Moab, the Ammonites and Amalekites – by our own carnal thinking, by toil, fear, and terror.  But, it is not the true image that we were made to be.  We are not what we appear to be.  Yeshua, or the Bride is still being presented to us carrying the revelation, carrying that message, which when revealed will kill the carnal nature within us.  He’s presenting to us his Word,  his revelation,  his revealed mystery which will go into us.  But let it go all the way in.  Ruminate on it, let it become a part of you — receive it all the way in. Let our fat, let our veils close over it, and leave it there.  For when he has done his perfect work we become the horizon – the end of one and beginning of the other.  We pass from the moon and star glory to the sun glory.  We cross over, from our land, to His Land, and we become His Land.  “Yeshua in us,  the hope of Glory”.

SHOW TIMES:

Monday, Wednesday and Thursday – 10:00 pm CENTRAL time

I appreciate the beauty of the process that Dad has brought me through. He has led me step by step. As the Hope in me that I have never seen, I was looking for a father all of my life. I was very angry and sad because I did not know who I was. I was feeling unformed and without an identity for about as far back as I can remember; however I know now that You were always my Father. You were always there in the times when I succeeded and in the times when I failed, but it was only then, at the times of my failures that I expected a tangible FATHER.

Every time I was able to go on and not quit or forfeit by suicide, I realize it was because of YOU. Every time I cried on the outside of me, but on the inside I could speak with clarity, words I could never say outward was within me, but it was YOU. When I had no siblings around and no friends that were true you listened with intent and I never knew. As a child I wanted to be a princess, and the bell of the ball just like the books I read which were not real at all … I tried to make my imaginary friends appear only they were in my head and also not real…

So I became introverted with outward flare. I laughed and I played. I was the life of the party, but inside, only deep depression, fear, anxiety and despair. Moreover, for some strange reason I kept on going even when I thought, “Ok this is it I’m sure to die and leave this hell on earth,” but I didn’t. I kept going and I thought why won’t anybody kill me and take me out of this misery. In my head there was always a show, that was exciting and a beautiful place to go.

When I could go to the places in my head at night as dreams and visions while I slept in bed.  Places that I never thought I would see  I was there; YOU and me, that’s where we met years ago. I saw You in a dream and from then on I would never let you go.  It was more real to me than when I was awake so I loved to sleep and dream and hear You speak to me. Things that I thought were just fun things to do became real LIFE outside of my head, events and people, places, and names. I thought I must be crazy because these things were in me, only now others can see them as well, and all that time until now I never ever knew that it was You.

As a seed breaks open and grows or even as a fish moves forward, that is what You did with me. You never let me stop my progression. Your always drawing and wooing me to You. At a time when I really thought I was the craziest moment, You said, “Marry Me,” I fainted on my bed and in my mind I was saying ,“I can’t Marry You! I don’t even see You.” “Shouldn’t this [marriage] be tangible?”

Then I began to get prepared and I looked in the mirror and said, “What is the image that is there.” You said, “You are beautiful and curious” and I said, “I can’t get married… I don’t  even look the part, but you, you are beautiful to me and I am so glad that you are in my heart.” I was so silly. I was looking at me and I could not see You. I had only seen myself. I was crushed like a grape and threshed like grain till my mind had left from me, but that is when Your mind came to me. More and more and more of You came to me and I was beginning to die off, but there was still a black spot or a hardness on my heart. I said, “I’m so glad your in my heart” untill  I hear You speak loud and clear… “Don’t ask for the FATHER… I am already here.”

In my mind I was thinking… thinking of how I am asking for the Father and He said that He is here, but when I look at me I didn’t see Him at all. But I do know that veils are still being removed…UNTIL I’M SEEING ME THROUGH THE EYES OF YOU!!!

ESTABLISHMENT HIS LAW AND COMMANDMENTS

Shavuot is a Jewish holiday that celebrates receiving. This year we celebrate Shavuot on May 28. Historically Shavuot celebrates the harvest of the first fruits. According to tradition it commemorates the day Moses received the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai. The Ten Commandments later became the foundation for both Judaism and Christianity.

For several days the Lord said ” I Write the commandments of my law in your heart you will be blessed.” So I saw the tablets of stone superimposed come forward from the spirit on and in my heart.

Our heart is a vital organ. It is where the breath of God is and dwells. The chambers in our hearts can also be seen symbolically as the chambers within the temple: The Outer court, The Inner Court and The Holy Of Holie’s. Our hearts are to beat as the fathers heart would beat. Our hearts are to be aligned with the law of the word, the WORD OF GOD and the law of promise.

In the  Strongs Concordance the word heart is – H3820

H3820 heart 3824; Hebrew -(lebab), lay-bawb ; from 3823;  the heart (as the most interior organ), used also like 3820:-+be think themselves, breast, comfortably, courage,(faint), (tender,heart) I-led midst, mind, x unawares,understanding.

H3823; Hebrew-labab, law-bab, a prim root; prop, to be enclosed (as if with fat); by impl. (as denom. from 3824) to un heart, ie (in good sence) transport (with love), or (in bad sence) stultify; also (as denom.from 3834) to make cakes, ravish, be wise Hebrew;
