Israel & Their Significance

Operation: Let My People Go!

This year, Israel celebrates 75 years of its Independence as a nation, after close to two thousand years of dispersion following the destruction of the city of Jerusalem by the Romans! In 2023, beginning on May 7^th,Five million people globally, comprised of Churches, Leaders and Ministries, have presently united in the Isaiah 62 Fast initiated by Mike Bickle, Leader of IHOPKC. As Mike has said, this initiative, directed by the Lord, is historic and very significant in relation to the times. It is clear that God has raised him up as a leader for this season of history, anointing him with the Issachar anointing that brings understanding of the times. The Lord has also endowed him with the influence and favor needed to now mobilize God’s Global Army into a cohesive force for this battle and the battles ahead.

At a recent event on Passover, I received a vision of the Armies of God crossing over and moving out into a new season characterized by War. This signified the beginning of a Kingdom Campaign comprised of many notable and strategic battles ahead. As I was praying for Israel this morning, The Lord showed me that the Global Isaiah 62 Fast was the first Battle in this Campaign—that salvation, honor and glory is to the Jew first according to Romans 1:16 and 2:10. I believe the Isaiah 62 Fast will be the first in a series of many battles for the Harvesting of the nations. I heard in my spirit, OPERATION: LET MY PEOPLE GO! I believe this is the mandate of this Campaign.

Nations that have mobilized to pray for Israel will attract and receive God’s blessing and favor to become the sheep nations to whom Jesus will say, “…inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me” (Matt. 25:40).

I recently started teaching a seven-part series on our Thursday Headstone Apostolic Hub meetings, a online community gathering of frontliners, sold out to God’s kingdom purposes. Without having planned this, the following three Sessions of the Series, regarding the times in relation to God’s prophetic purposes in Israel, falls into the twenty-one day time slot for the Isaiah 62 Fast. I see the hand of God in this and am posturing myself to understand His will over the weeks ahead!

For the past two decades God has highlighted to me the word UNTIL in all capital letters in Romans 11:25—blindness has happened to Israel UNTIL! The Lord showed that UNTIL represents the momentous, earth-shaking season of history, when He moves to remove the blindness to Jesus the Messiah from Israel’s eyes. This Move will initiate monumental, tectonic shifts in the Earth and in the spiritual realms, causing the ancient spiritual veil over Israel, ingrained in the doctrine of Moses, to tear.

“But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.” 2 Corinthians 3:14-16

I believe that the Isaiah 62 Fast marks the season of UNTIL on God’s timeline as having begun. As millions of people who love, and honor Israel begin to pray for the nation, eyes will begin to open and hearts awaken to Truth. This awakening will trigger a ferocious response from the enemy. All movements of God in Israel over their history have triggered the enemy to shift gears and accelerate attacks and persecution on the people of God. At this time this includes all God’s people grafted into Israel. So all must be fully grounded in the love of God, in their identity in Christ, His power and His authority. To face the challenges ahead we must be firmly anchored in Christ and have confidence in His ability to guide and direct us in every situation we may face.

It is important to now have understanding to discern the times regarding the conflicting movements of revival, awakenings, coupled with persecution. History has shown that times of great revivals and times of increased salvations, usually came in volatile times surrounded by persecution. In the day of Harvest, and the Day of His Power, it is understandable that there will be battles as the enemy will move to protect their prey fiercely and aggressively. However, God declares in His Word that the prey will be taken from the enemy, that they must release their captives (Is. 49:25).

The next seven years of this decade will reveal the dichotomy of the two existing realities of darkness and light co-existing on the world sphere. On one hand we prepare for the worst and on the other we expect God’ absolute best prepared for this end-time generation. We expect God to breakthrough into our lives, to reveal His Son in us that we may rise and face the challenges. He will strengthen us with His peace, joy, and love in all that we do!

“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.” Ephesians 6:13

Anti-semitism

Anti-Semitism is in essence rebellion against God’s will and is the anti-Christ spirit of Satan himself. It is a spirit that has become deeply rooted in the psyche of mankind throughout the nations of the world. This phenomenon exists in every nation because wherever there is rebellion against God, a covenant of agreement is entered into with Satan—the one who hates the nation of Israel and the Jewish people.

Anti-Semitism is now increasing exponentially across the Earth. God declared in His Word that when we choose to bless His people Israel, we would be blessed and partake through Jesus, His covenants with Israel and the corresponding promises and blessings.

Many years ago God gave me a startling revelation about anti-semitism. In the book of Deuteronomy God pronounced a curse on all who hate, persecute, and reject Israel. He also decreed that these very same curses would come upon all the nations who chose to curse and persecute Israel.

“Also the Lord your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.” Deuteronomy 30:7

This is a very sobering scripture, and a stunning revelation, as most nations, cultures and religions have a history of anti-Semitism. Numerous nations have exiled the Jewish people over history! And anti-semitism can be found in the foundation of many denominational churches. Many will therefore have the curses of antisemitism functioning in their generational history. It is important for all intercessors on the frontlines of the battle to ensure that there are no cracks in their foundation generationally, that the enemy could use to entrap them and pull them out of the battle. God inspired me to write a cleansing prayer. SEE PRAYER

Operation: Let My People Go!

Anti-semitism

“Also the Lord your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.” Deuteronomy 30:7

The Israel of God – The Ark of God!

“For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.” Galatians 6:15

“For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but a new creation. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.” Galatians 6:15

The Israel of God is the Ark of God prepared for the salvation of mankind! Scriptures show that those in Christ, have been grafted into this Container or Vine, and according to Galatians 3:7, have become sons of Abraham.

“And if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them became a partaker of the root and fatness of the olive tree…” Romans 11:17

The Israel of God is the Container fashioned and prepared to host the Gentile saints and the great Harvest that has been invited in, coming in at the end of the age. The Scriptures tell us that blindness happens to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles comes in (Rom. 11:25). The word fullness in this passage is pleroma and refers to a container being filled to its fullness. This ties in with Romans 11:12 where the same word pleroma is used.

“I say then, have they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles. Now if their fall is riches for the world, and their failure riches for the Gentiles, how much more their fullness!” Romans 11:11-12

God made promises to Abraham, to Isaac, and then to Jacob that the entire world would be blessed in them. In light of the priceless Gift of Christ and the massive blessings that have come to the world through Israel, God has said that any who curse them would also be cursed (Num. 24:9).

“Also the LORD your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.” Deuteronomy 30:7

In this season of maturation and of everything being gathered in and summed up in Christ, eyes will be opened to see and understand God’s plan in Israel. Everyone will be given the option to get into the Ark of the Israel of God as Jeshua and Israel are one—Prince of God—the Body prepared for Christ.

At the council of Nicea in Rome, the enemy was very successful in dividing the early church birthed in Jerusalem. The intention was to divide and conquer; to separate the Gentile converts from Israel—God’s container fashioned in the image of His Son—the Jewish Messiah—is the skin of the New Wineskin and the epicenter of His work on Earth. God has given great grace to Gentile Saints to function and grow while separated from Israel… for a time. At the end of the age, He will be saying to all, “Get out of Babylon and Get into the Ark I have prepared!”

“…having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Him.” Ephesians 1:9

Israel Called as Kings & Priests Represented in the Five-Fold

God established the priesthood of Israel to minister to Him and also to minister before Him on behalf of the people. The kings of Israel were intended to rule on behalf of God and His Kingdom. They were given Kingdom authority to legislate both in the spiritual realm, the heavens, and in the natural realm through prayer, intercession, and decree. Israel was given both offices to administrate the will of almighty God and his purposes on earth and the heavenly realms from a land marked off as His portion.

Israel stood before God also as a prophet nation, Prophesying the will of God to mankind and recording it for all future generations. Israel was positioned by God to be the Teacher—God’s Rabbi, established to bring revelation and understanding of the Word of God to mankind. Israel was the Shepherd pastor, ordained by God to pastor His flock—the saints of God on earth. Israel was God’s evangelist, authorized by God to bring salvation to the world (Isaiah 26 and Jn. 4:22, Rom. 1:16). Israel was also the apostle of God, sent to represent Christ to build, plant, establish, and administrate His House on Earth.

These five facets or offices of God represent Christ the Messiah positioned in Israel. All five offices were embedded within Israel as God’s first Ekklesia, established on earth to represent the Kingdom of God. Israel was prepared as the Body and container for the King—the High Priest the Messiah—The Great Apostle of the faith, the Teacher, the Great Shepherd, and the beautiful feet of the Evangelist carrying the Good News of the Gospel of Christ.

Israel fell short of their Call and Mandate, as each facet of the Call represented Jesus and could only be administered in the power of the Holy Spirit. The old covenant was deficient in many aspects, but God’s covenant with Israel stands and continues eternally. Through the prophet Isaiah, God promised the coming of the Messiah for salvation; through Jeremiah, He promised the coming of the New Covenant with Israel, and through the prophet Joel, the coming of the Holy Spirit.

“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel because he has come to his people and redeemed them. He has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David… to give His people the knowledge of salvation through the forgiveness of their sins…” Luke 1:68-69,77

Throughout scripture, God has always promised to be Israel’s great Redeemer and Savior. He will never break His Covenant. He is not a man that he should lie. His mercy endures forever toward Israel and is eternal. Israel and Jesus cannot be separated, they are eternally bound in Body and Spirit.

“Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of the Gentiles has come in, and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: “The deliverer will come from Zion; He will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is my covenant with them when I take away their sins… for God’s gifts and His call are irrevocable.” Romans 11:25-27

Wherever Israel was positioned in the nations, they stood as Princes of the Kingdom. Their very presence in the nations was as dew on that particular land that extended mercy from the King. When they were rejected by a nation and expelled, judgment was soon to follow on that nation. During their season of blindness, God has always kept a witness in Israel to keep the fires burning God gave a sign to the Maccabees, the last holdout to Rome, that the oil—the Glory would never go out.

Another aspect of Israel’s place in God’s purposes is seen in Jerusalem—The City of God. At the end of the age, the gathering of all things is to Jerusalem, a natural entity to which He will return and the Spiritual entity that is eternal—the Bride of Christ. Abraham was promised descendants numbering the stars of Heaven representing the finished work of God. In the architectural blueprint of this Heavenly City, God shows that all its measurements represent Israel—its walls, the foundation of its walls, and its gates—the entrances into the City. Each gate was made of one pearl and named after one of the twelve tribes of Israel (Rev. 21:9-27). Entrance into the City, the Ark of God is through the gates of Israel.

Paul recognized that something had been deposited and established in Jerusalem even though he said the apostles there added nothing to him. Wherever the saints assembled they carried with them the authority of the Kingdom which was centered in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is not abandoned! It is only a matter of God’s timing—in the fullness of time, when He turns once again to Jerusalem in preparation for His return.

God’s regathering of the Jews to Israel from the nations of the world is the fulfillment of prophecy and a clear sign that we are approaching the end of the age. The Jews have returned to the land! They have reclaimed Jerusalem. The time is, therefore, very close! We have been praying for the harvest and the harvest is now. The scriptures say that the harvest is the end of the age. Scripture states that blindness in part has happened to Israel until. The time of until is now! There is a generation of Jewish sons and daughters rising up today declaring the word of the Lord and releasing the cry, “Blessed it is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”

The climax of the Jewish situation, to be summed up in Christ in the last days, was layered into prophecy and recorded in scripture by Hosea. As Jeremiah 14:16 marked Israel’s second return to the land, one of the prophecies given by Hosea, marked the completion of their journey and entry into the Promised Land of Christ—where He returns to rule and reign in the City of Jerusalem.

“Come, and let us return to the LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; On the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight. Let us know, Let us pursue the knowledge of the LORD. His going forth is established as the morning; He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter and former rain to the earth.” Hosea 6:1-3

This prophecy is about to be fulfilled in the near future, as according to 2 Peter 3:8, a day is to the Lord as a thousand years. Using Peter’s measurement, two thousand years after the time of Jesus’ ascension, or the destruction of Jerusalem, brings us to approximately somewhere between the years 2030-70.

Israel is both a natural and spiritual entity, formed and fashioned by God the Father for His Son’s first coming and as the vessel for the return of His Son to Earth: “…a body You have prepared for Me… I have come to do Your will O God” (Heb. 10:5-7). The Body and vessel in which Jesus chose to tabernacle with humanity, fashioned and prepared by the Father, over two thousand years for His first coming, was Israel. God’s work of building His House continued over another two thousand years after Christ, built by Gentile saints on the Jewish foundation of Jeshua—the Messiah. Jeshua is the New Wineskin! All attributes of Jeshua are in the DNA of the New Wineskin tabernacled or housed in Israel.

The Israel of God, comprising both Jew and Gentile, fashioned within Israel, is the Ark of God for the salvation of the World. Like Noah, God has been patient in fashioning and building this Ark over the centuries to contain the great Harvest grafted in and invited in at the end of the age, “… God waited patiently in the days of Noah while the ark was being built.” (1Peter 3:20).

The Ark is being completed! The Lord is now sounding the trumpet and warning all to: Get into the Ark! This requires a return to Israel in our hearts. The turning begins by honoring Israel’s place and significance in God’s comprehensive and unfolding plan.

“Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.” Luke 17:26

“The LORD then said to Noah, “Go into the ark, you and your whole family, because I have found you righteous in this generation… Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth… And after the seven days the floodwaters came on the earth.” Genesis 7:1,4,10

The Return of The King!

I believe that we are nearing the end of the Messianic age and many of this generation will live to see the Return of Jesus. When I first got saved thirty years ago, God took over my world and completely turned it upside down. It felt as if I was picked up and deposited into boot camp, an intense and accelerated time of teaching and training. One of the first things the Lord said to me was that He was returning. Being a newborn Christian, I did not know how to process that! But over the years I have understood that the Body of Christ is carrying, and in travail to bring forth the Return of Christ! The Spirit and the Bride are groaning in travail for the coming of Jesus! The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come!” (Rev. 22:17).

In Matthew 24:3 the disciple asks Jesus a poignant question, “…when shall these things be? and what shall bethe sign of thy coming, and of the end of the age?”

Jesus, having begun the age of Grace tells the disciples to go and teach all nations during the interim until He returns. “…teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the age.” Matthew 28:20

The word age, the Greek word aion refers specifically to the Messianic period. The word end means the consummation of the age. So, when the times reach their fullness for everything to be summed up in Christ, it means thatit is time for Christ’s return!

“With all wisdom and understanding, He made known to us the mystery of His will according to His good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment—to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.” Ephesians 1:10

The word times in this scripture is kairos, meaning due season, or appointed time. The Word fulfillment is pleroma, and means to be crammed full to fullness or completeness. What does this mean? It means that when the appointed time has arrived for something to occur – the season or time has reached its fullness and therefore, times must change! And in regard to this scripture, it means Jesus must return!

In Matthew 24, Jesus answers the disciple’s question about the end of the age and His return:

“And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And He shall send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other.”Matthew 24:30

In recent words I have shared, I have been discussing, the seeds of the dreams of God that the Body of Christ is now carrying, that they are Mighty and they are Holy. Therefore, the time of birth does not take place until God gives the word, until He has a people free of rebellion, disobedience, immaturity, and personal agenda; until He sees the surrendered will laid down before Him in humility—at that time the travail will begin. As women played significant roles in birthing the Christ on Earth, they will again play a large part in the travail to birth the return of Christ. Psalm 68 in a prophetic picture of the procession of the King into His sanctuary, Verses 11-17 says:

“The Lord announces the word, and the women who proclaim it are a mighty throng …The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands; the Lord has come from Sinai into his sanctuary.”

This Psalm speaks prophetically of both His first and second coming:

First Coming: Ps. 68:18 “You have ascended on high, You have led captivity captive; You have received gifts among men, Even from the rebellious, That the LORD God might dwell there.” (This passage is quoted after Jesus’ ascension in Ephesians 4:8)

Second Coming: Ps. 68:24 “They have seen Your procession, O God, The procession of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.” This scripture prophetically reveals the procession up to Jerusalem where the returning King is seated on His Throne.

Let’s look at a few Scriptures regarding the return of Christ:

“Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” Acts 1:11

“Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. NKJV … And you know what is holding him back, for he can be revealed only when his time comes. For this lawlessness is already at work secretly, and it will remain secret until the one who is holding it back steps out of the way. Then the man of lawlessness will be revealed, but the Lord Jesus will slay him with the breath of his mouth and destroy him by the SPLENDOR OF HIS COMING. 2Thessalonians 2:1-4 NLT

This is an end of the age passage that culminates with the return of Christ. The Day of the Lord is not past, it is here and its fullness is coming.

“When the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the holy angels with Him, then He will sit on the throne of His glory. All the nations will be gathered before Him, and He will separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats.” Matthew 25:31

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.” 1 Thessalonians 4:16

When Will These Things happen?

The Scriptures show the shifts in history that have occurred and will occur in the future when the world reaches the fullness of times. These are times depicted by the word until when something significant happens… so let’s look at a few:

“For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying, and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be.” Matthew 24:38 The world changed radically after that event.

“And they will fall by the edge of the sword, and be led away captive into all nations. And Jerusalem will be trampled by Gentiles until— the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.” Luke 21:24 This occurred in 1967 when the Israeli army recovered the Temple Mount.

“…that blindness in part has happened to Israel until— the fullness of the Gentiles has COME IN” (Romans 11:25). THE HARVEST comes in at the end of the age when blindness to the Jeshua is removed from Israel and they are restored.

In speaking of Jesus, Acts 3:21 tells us that “… heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began.” Israel is being prepared for the return of the King.

“…being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ… (Ph. 1:6)” The Body will reach maturity in the stature of Christ in preparation for His return.

Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain.” The Outpouring will come to usher in the Harvest before Christ Returns. James 5:7

“Therefore He shall give them up, until the time that she who is in labor has given birth; Then the remnant of His brethren shall return to the children of Israel” (Mic. 5:3). Until reveals the return of Jesus to Israel.

Matthew Henry’s commentary on this passage: This is, perhaps, the most important single prophecy in the Old Testament: it respects the personal character of the Messiah and the discoveries of himself to the world. It distinguishes his human birth from his existence from eternity; it foretells the rejection of the Israelites and Jews for a season, their final restoration, and the universal peace to prevail through the whole earth in the latter days.

When we have arrived at the time of until—when things suddenly shift—the time the Scriptures refer to as the fullness of time; catastrophic world-changing shifts will occur. God will have prepared a people for this time to have fortitude, courage, and wisdom, endowed with the Issachar anointing—possessing the understanding to process the times. They will be undergirded and supported by Him with revelation, understanding, strategy, and direction. During this time Global shifts will occur, global structures will fall, and world systems will crash as new ones emerge. Such world-shaking earthquakes cause history to shift radically birthing new epochs for God’s purposes.

We are now in the closing era of history, living in the time frame of the Fourth Beast as I shared in my last message. It is time to give Him our all, to serve Him wholeheartedly, and submit to Him for His will be done. As we do this, we are hastening the day of His coming as 2 Peter 3:11-12 states:

“Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, WHAT MANNER OF PERSONS OUGHT YOU TO BE in HOLY CONDUCT AND GODLINESS, looking for and HASTENING THE COMING OF THE DAY OF GOD, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?” There is No cheap grace here!

What is Hindering the Lord’s Return?

Many people believe that Jesus could return at any moment. I believe that we are in the season of the summing up of all things in Christ at the end and conclusion of the Messianic age before Christ returns.

I believe we can hasten the day of the Lord’s Return by preparing His way in distinct areas:

A SANCTUARY IS PREPARED to receive Him, one that is built and structured according to His mind and His heart. Can we build it? Can it be any old sanctuary? Of course, the answer is no…yet we try! Only the Holy Spirit can build the House of God as its measurement is Christ.

A BRIDE IS MADE READY without spot through God’s principles of healing, cleansing, and deliverance of all satanic influence through the refining fire of God.

A RESOLUTE COURAGEOUS ARMY IS TRAINED, equipped, and positioned to fight in the great battles to bring in THE GREAT HARVEST, which, according to scripture is at the end of the age (Matt. 13:39).

THE PRINCIPLE OF HONOR, AND THE RELEASE OF THE AGAPE LOVE OF GOD, are actively working to bring the Body of Christ into a holy union, agreement, and the fear of the Lord. An honor that we will see restored to Israel.

WOMEN RELEASED coming out from under the oppression of past ages to understand their identity in Christ and step into their assignment as intercessors and midwives are ready for the travail through the birthing of a new era. Women who have embraced the Cross, are fully surrendered and in are in a corporate agreement.

God intends to raise and release an army of warriors who will travail with the Holy Spirit, through the days of awe leading us to the return of Christ and a new era of history. We see this picture in the three final Feasts and the Days of Awe that begin after the sounding of the trumpets at the Feast of Trumpets. Cataclysmic events are rolled out to prepare the world for this global seismic shift into the summing up of the work of God on earth. It is a holy time!

The Breaker Anointing

The Breaker will come to birth these events! God is now about to birth a new thing for a new season, a time imbued with a new mandate and great challenges. Much revelation and strategic direction will come.

“The one who breaks open will come up before them; they will break out, pass through the gate, and go out by it; their king will pass before them, with the Lord on their head.” Micah 2:13 KJV

The Body of Christ carries the Breaker Anointing, and the Breaker Himself is united with our travail, intercession, and ministry. Jill Austin, a prophet, and apostle who went home to be with the Lord describe the Breaker anointing this way:

“A breaker anointing is a catalytic deposit of the Holy Spirit, where eternity breaks through into the natural realm. It is a holy invasion where the gates of heaven are broken open with visitations of salvation, healing, and deliverance. The breaker anointing is the core anointing of the apostolic Church.”

The Breaker comes to break the amniotic sac to begin the birthing process. After the water breaks contractions follow. The water breaking initiates the labor and comes to facilitate the birth. The word breaker in Hebrew is parats and means to break out, burst out, pass through: to crossover. It is the same word in 2 Samuel 5:20:

“So David went to Baal Perazim, and David defeated them there; and he said, “The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, LIKE A BREAKTHROUGH OF WATER.

God is going to send a flood, an outpouring that will break us into a new season. We have arrived at an incredible and significant epoch of history when the magnificent masterpieces of God for the summing up of the age will be birthed into reality by a powerful breaker anointing—the Man Child—the sons of God, The Harvest, The Restoration of Israel, and the Coming of the King to establish his kingdom on Earth!

“Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a MAN CHILD… Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith the LORD: “Shall I cause to bring forth, and shut the womb? saith thy God.” KJV Isaiah 66:7-9

The Breaker is coming to break the amniotic sack! The travail will come in waves as momentum builds and the battles intensify. We must begin to intercede for the coming forth of the Man Child within you and on the Earth. The call on this hour is the travail with the Holy Spirit to prepare the way for the Lord Jesus to show up in our gatherings, in our cities, and in our nations! This message is true for both men and women. I would like to close by reading a passage from Zechariah 14 starting at verse 4.

On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives that lies before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley, so that one half of the Mount shall move northward, and the other half southward…

“And you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. THEN THE LORD MY GOD WILL COME, AND ALL THE HOLY ONES WITH HIM. On that day there shall be no light, cold, or frost. And there shall be a unique day, which is known to the LORD, neither day nor night, but at evening time there shall be light. On that day living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea. It shall continue in summer as in winter. And the LORD will be King over all the earth. On that day the LORD will be one and HIS NAME ONE.” Zechariah 14:4-8

Ready or Not Here I Come!

In January of 2019 the Lord told me there would be no traveling for me that year, that I was to focus on the assignment He had given me to prepare resources and schools. He impressed upon me that we would launch in May 2020. This was my understanding that 2020, was the year of launching. I had no understanding of what awaited the world in 2020, but recently the Lord impressed upon me to look over what I had written since Rosh Hashanah 2019.

I was surprised at the amount of times I referred to rockets and launching and was searching to understand the significance of this. God was also highlighting the title of each Word I had written and certain parts that stood out to me, excerpts I am including here:

SEPTEMBER: THE COMING DECADE OF THE VOICE OF THE LORD!

“Thrust is also the propulsive force that gives lift off. God is the thrust and propulsive force of His people, that moves them, sends them and clothes them with power to carry out His will. In the decade ahead the people of God will find themselves suddenly thrust out into new arenas, LOCKED AND LOADED with the power of the VOICE OF THE LORD. He is saying now as He said to Jeremiah, “I am ready to perform My Word!”

OCTOBER: CANADA ARISE TO YOUR GOD GIVEN DESTINY!

God had told me to re-post a word I had written about 4 years ago. He said to re-post it because it was Canada’s time to rise! It is a time for the Nations to arise to their destiny.

“Over the past few weeks the Lord has been stirring my heart in regard to Canada’s destiny and a coming invasion of the angelic host. God has chosen specific nations, released to run at appointed times in History as a catalyst for the unfolding of His transcendent plan.”

NOVEMBER: THE ROAR OF A HEAVENLY INVASION!

It has begun!! Recently John Kilpatrick had a vision where God told him the angelic hosts were now being released!

“It now seems clear that we are no longer waiting for God to move—HE HAS MOVED! The evidence of this is beginning to break out all over the world. Hollywood is being greatly affected, stadiums are filling up with worship, revivals are breaking out in certain cities. Despite the circumstance around us in regard to politics, the economy, in our nations and in our communities, the people of God are suddenly sensing a RISING in their spirits coming upon them and a shaking of the ground beneath them…the armies of God are riding in unison to gather in the Harvest and defeat the enemies of God!”

DECEMBER: BIG THINGS ARE COMING!

I didn’t fully understand what this meant…how big the things that were about to come upon us!

“Recently, as I was praying, I heard the Lord’s voice boom in my spirit, “BIG THINGS!” BIG THINGS are coming!!” The Lord sometimes takes a very long time to move, but when He does finally move, it is sometimes accompanied by “…noises, thunderings, lightnings and earthquakes.”

JANUARY: STAY IN THE PLACE OF ASCENDANCY IN 2020

In this word I had a vision on myself standing in a boat on choppy waters in the midst of a raging storm, but my hands were raised to heaven as I praised Him in the midst of it! God was highlighting the need for thanksgiving and prayer during the storms that were to come in this year and the decade ahead!

“Sometimes people can be shy about praising aloud, but God wants to hear YOUR VOICE! Praise is a declaration of the power, might and character of our God, out loud! Not only does God want to hear us say the words, praise works internally to change our disposition and shift us into the place of GREAT FAITH. The combination of our great faith rising before Him and His Presence moving in to inhabit our praise, creates a dynamic atmosphere primed for miracles to take place. These are the ingredients that will ALWAYS CREATE BREAKTHROUGH! The psalmist declared that the HIGH PRAISES of God in our mouth and the two-edged sword of the Word of God in our hand, is our weapon against the enemies of God (Ps. 149:6).

FEBRUARY: THREE…TWO…ONE…LIFT OFF!

This word was about a rocket that was a New Wineskin…getting ready to be launched! The emphasis in my spirit in this word, was about getting rid of everything that was restricting us from the take off. The paragraph below highlights the financial aspect but after I wrote it, I realized that there was much, much more that was restricting God from moving…hence the need for a shutdown in preparation.

“The Lord revealed that presently there were rules and regulations based on man’s agenda that were restricting the launch and thrust of this Apostolic Spacecraft. These were regulations that were working to suppress His supernatural work and stifle the moves of the Holy Spirit; they were founded on the world’s reasoning and the world’s economic system. He then highlighted the example of President Donald Trump’s economic strategy: after becoming President, he immediately removed the burden of hundreds of regulations the previous administration had placed on the U.S. economic system. With the added impetus of America’s alignment with Israel and the moving of the embassy to Jerusalem, the U.S. economy took off like a rocket and continues to rise. America may fear recession and economic collapse, but its economy is fully under the sovereign control of God, held and fully empowered by the Word of God that blesses those who bless and take care of His people Israel. Trump’s strategy is also a prophetic picture for the Church. As we are now being prepared to launch, it is important to examine and re-evaluate the economic structures we have put in place, whether they are founded on Biblical principles or on the principles of the world. God is asking us to step off of the ground of carnal policies and ascend by faith to life in the power of God, where the Wind of the Spirit thrusts us ever higher into the dynamic of the supernatural eternal life we were meant to live.”

MARCH 13^th: THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN!

Here I wrote about the instructions God gave me to hold three prayer thrusts leading to MAY…He highlighted again that May was a very significant month…in present light of all that has transpired to this day, I just feel the need to be very humble before this Mighty, awesome and fearsome God we serve!!

“I recently wrote a word titled, Three…Two…One…Lift Off, a word the Lord gave me regarding a rocket about to be launched. After the word was first published in February, I heard the Lord say, “The countdown has begun!” When He said that, my thoughts immediately went to the month of May, and was reminded that in the early months of 2019, the Lord had highlighted May 2020 as a significant month to mark—and that there were three months to May. The Lord then gave me a strategy to hold a night of intercession once a month for the next three months taking us into May. I believe it is now time to get focused, intentional and forceful in our intercession to get this rocket off the ground as we wait on the Lord for direction and for revelation. This will be a decade of warfare and great battles for the harvest and for the Lord’s purposes to be fulfilled. We are presently caught in the waves of birth pangs that will deliver a monumental move of God! This is definitely the time of Isaiah 60 where both the Glory of God and the darkness will be increasing with intensity. The Lord is calling forth the intercessors to mobilize and pray through the push of these birth pangs.”

MARCH 18^th: THE BIG RESET!

God had me write two words in March that had a great emphasis on prayer, intercession and warfare. I felt the Lord directed me to emphasize the need to understand warfare; that everyone would need to be equipped for the days ahead. When Israel entered the Promised Land there was much warfare to possess it!

“During a recent time of Intercession, I saw a massive lion pacing restlessly with anticipation; the scripture that came to mind was Isaiah 42:13-17:

“The LORD will march out like a champion, like a warrior he will stir up his zeal; with a shout he will raise the battle cry and will triumph over his enemies. “FOR A LONG TIME I HAVE KEPT SILENT, I HAVE BEEN QUIET AND HELD MYSELF BACK. BUT NOW, LIKE A WOMAN IN CHILDBIRTH, I CRY OUT, I GASP AND PANT…I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them.”

I believe it is important that we take full advantage of this time God has given us to examine our lives, get rid of the non-essentials and recognize what is important. In rest we will hear more clearly from God the strategies He wants to implement and the intercessory initiatives that will give birth to them. This is time to draw close to God and fine-tune our spiritual senses.”

APRIL: THE THREE PASSOVERS

In this word God revealed that the date May 8^th of our third prayer thrust—the number one in the three, two, one…Lift OFF, is the second chance Passover in Israel, where mercy was given as a second chance to those who were not prepared at the first. It is Also VE-Day, A DAY OF VICTORY WHEN THE ENEMY SURRENDERED TO THE ALLIES in 1945!

“Most notable was the Bread and the Cup shared between Jewish leaders in Israel and Gentiles all over the world, at the heart of God’s intention for the One New Man of Jew and Gentile in Him. After this event God gave me a brief vision, inspired by that time; He showed me a picture of white bridal lace having a floral design! As I pondered the significance, He gave me the analogy of the lace being a fisherman’s net. He said that as the body becomes a Bride, Her Bridal garment of honor and union would become the net He would use to catch the billion soul Harvest.”

MAY: – READY OR NOT HERE I COME!

The word that the Lord gave me in early March, to begin our prayer thrusts, was from Revelation 3:20, spoken to the church of Laodicea.

“Behold I stand at the door and knock, if anyone hears my voice and opens the door I will come in and dine with Him and he with Me!”

I felt that the Lord was voice was booming over the Church over the noise of our business and distractions, “Is anyone listening, does anyone hear; I am knocking at your door, open it and we will feast together.” Not long after we went into lockdown. God has moved, He has arisen and is doing something very BIG in His Church. The Commander of the armies has showed up, He has come to take over!

The morning after the prayer thrust, the Lord revealed something that shook me in my spirit, related to Isaiah 9:2. Over the last 20 years, whenever I have read this passage my insides would shake and tremble.

“Nevertheless, that time of darkness and despair will not go on forever. The land of Zebulun and Naphtali will be humbled, but there will be a time in the future when Galilee of the Gentiles, which lies along the road that runs between the Jordan and the sea, will be filled with Glory. The people who walk in darkness will see a great light. For those who live in a land of deep darkness, a light will shine…For You will break the yoke of their slavery and lift the heavy burden from their shoulders. You will break the oppressor’s rod, just as You did when You destroyed the army of Midian. For a Child is born to us, a Son is given to us. The government will rest on His shoulders. And He will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of His ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate commitment of the LORD of Heaven’s Armies will make this happen! Isaiah 9:1

I have pondered this passage many times and wondered why it would have this effect on me…trying to understand what He was saying to me. This passage is a prophecy of the first coming of Jesus and is quoted in the New Testament in Matthew 4:14. Galilee is where JESUS BEGAN HIS MINISTRY.

“Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali—This fulfilled what God said through the prophet Isaiah: “In the land of Zebulun and of Naphtali, beside the sea, beyond the Jordan River, in Galilee where so many Gentiles live, the people who sat in darkness HAVE SEEN A GREAT LIGHT. And for those who lived in the land where death casts its shadow, A LIGHT HAS SHINED.” From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent of your sins and turn to God, FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN IS NEAR.”

That morning the Lord whispered in my spirit that He was coming! I am not referring to His Return but His coming to us, to our Cities—cities prepared for Him. I then asked what should I do? What should we do? God has fixed the timing of His movements on earth and they are usually always suddenlies that are expected but take us by surprise.

Jesus is coming for such a time! The Global Passover organized by David Damian, where Christians took Communion with Israel is the most significant Passover and Communion since Jesus took it with His disciple, and a beginning of the One New Man. I believe that all the cities who took communion with Israel that day will see a move of God! I believe He is saying that it will be a Galilee Movement! Jesus is coming to our cities! Cities near water will especially see a move of God and from there spread, the Galilee of the Gentiles!

Jesus is coming to establish Cities of Refuge…safe Havens protected by His Glory in the days ahead! THESE CITIES WILL SEE A GREAT LIGHT! ON THESE CITIES LIGHT WILL SHINE! As I pondered this with the Lord, certain questions came to my mind and some answers from Him:

He is coming, what do we do? How do we prepare? He answers in Matthew: “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the kingdom of heaven is near.” Cleanse your heart of all idols, anything that takes precedence over Me.

He said is coming to dine with us, have food ready for him! What food shall we give Him? His answer: Our adoration and praise; thanksgiving and devotion and our time!

Get your house ready and in order, have a prepared place for Me. Don’t sweep things under the carpet or hide them in the closet…I see it all!

Things to think About! How does your Ministry serve His interests? Was it initiated by Him? How can it serve on a larger scale? THINK BIG…think with the Holy Spirit! We will need food to feed large crowds. Do we have food? God has been storing food within us over our lives—we are his storehouses. Jesus is able to multiply our food when it is lifted up and offered to God!

Protection—What are you doing to guard and protect your gates? The gates into your home, your ministry, your church, your family? Gates can be people placed in wrong positions, presumptuous agendas, financial open doors not aligned to the plumb line of the Word.

Are you a new wineskin that can hold the coming NEW WINE—Costly wine! Are you willing to drink the cup He gives? Have you laid the old on the Altar in preparation for the new way we will walk…a way we have not been before? I felt that He said, “Put everything in the Fire and follow ME – that’s apostolic.” The apostles served Jesus only, they were sent by Jesus, not by man, or by themselves. Do you have accountability with others or are you a lone ranger? Without accountability you are a loose canon and God cannot trust you with supernatural power. The Lord is ready to hand over the big guns…but not to the proud and to the immature. Many times, over the last six words I have written, He has said to tell them: “Ready or not here I come!” He is coming! Are we ready?

THE DECADE OF THE VOICE OF THE LORD IS HERE! NATIONS ARISE TO YOUR GOD GIVEN DESTINY! THE ROAR OF A HEAVENLY INVASION CRESCENDOS! BIG THINGS ARE COMING! STAY IN THE PLACE OF ASCENDANCY! THREE…TWO…ONE…LIFT OFF! THE COUNTDOWN HAS BEGUN! TIME IS UP! THE GLOBAL RESET IS NOW!

Ready or not here I come!

YOUR WARFARE HAS ENDED – THE MOVE TO THE HIGHEST SEAT OF AUTHORITY

The Plot To Steal Authority

What we have witnessed in the battle for Judge Kavanaugh to take his seat on the Supreme Court—the highest court in the land, parallels the great battle the Body of Christ has been facing in the move to take and occupy the highest seat of authority in Christ, entrusted to us by God. God has great and mighty things on the horizon, spiritual ground to be taken in the fight to occupy this High Place of rulership—the place where we legislate in tandem with the Councils of Heaven.

Daniel had favor with King Darius and was called occupy the high places in Babylon. The enemy forces of hell were determined to prevent this from ever happening and plotted his demise—a trip into the lion’s den. Daniel’s situation portrays a similar picture in the attack launched against Judge Kavanaugh—and as in so many instances in scripture, the plot backfired against his enemies. The struggle to overcome in persecution is the way of spiritual advancement. The force of the attack that Judge Kavanaugh endured shows the ferocity and level of hatred the enemy has against those who are advancing to occupy the high places in Christ. These are leaders who will make the way for the Body of Christ to receive the Promises and enter into the purposes of God.

A Vanguard Army Chosen To Lead The Way

A Vanguard army chosen to lead the way forward is being released as God’s first fruit of sons and daughters coming into fullness of maturity. In Israel’s campaign to take the Promised Land, 40,000 warriors crossed over ahead of the nation to lead the way forward. There is at present a company of apostolic, prophetic leaders who having attained to maturity are marked for advancement. These leaders, in their spiritual struggle have attained to the authority to rule; they prepare the way of the Lord in a movement to occupy the high places and to take territory in all spheres of life and community.

Only the Great Shepherd, through the Holy Spirit can navigate the Body of Christ through this volatile period of history to our destination. Apostolic, prophetic leaders hear the word of the Lord and interpret the times for His people. They are given vision to see God’s expected end, and work with Him in charting the course ahead for His people to breakthrough and crossover.

“…LORD your God,who went in the way before you to search out a place for you to pitch your tents, to show you the way you should go, in the fire by night and in the cloud by day.” Deuteronomy 1:33

Her Warfare Has Ended

For the past few years many have received revelations regarding the numbers 111 or 1111. In January of this year the Lord’s word to me was Jeremiah 1:11, where He asked Jeremiah, “What do you see?” The transition from Jeremiah 1:11 to 1:12 is authority, where He declares, “I am ready to perform my word.” God was ready to put His words in Jeremiah’s mouth “To root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.” I believe this speaks to our present world dynamic.

Recently I was asked to speak at a church on November 11 when the Lord reminded me of this word. Later I was listening to a secular political video where the speaker said that 11/11 this year was going to be a significant date. This caught my attention! I then recalled that World War I ended with tremendous relief and celebration at 11 am on 11/11/1918. This year 11/11/2018 will mark the hundredth anniversary of the end of World War I.

God then reminded me of Isaiah 40:2, where He instructed Isaiah to comfort His people, and tell her that her warfare is ended! I believe this year 11/11/18 will mark a time of closure to the warfare the people of God have endured, and will begin a time of significant breakthrough for many people. It will be a time of breaking through into a season of courage and strength as we become seated with Him in His authority occupying the high places. We’re about to see great shifts occur as the people of God begin to rise up to occupy and hold the places that are our inheritance in Christ.

There was a very touching moment in a Fox interview with Brett Kavanaugh, where he was asked if the President was standing with him, and with trembling lips he answered, “Yes, he is standing with me.” The President’s backing gave him the strength and the courage to stand and not give up in the fight, in the face of extreme persecution. Today, Judge Kavanaugh is seated as Justice Kavanaugh on the Supreme Court of the United States of America. With God, victory is our right and is always possible if we stay the course knowing that the Lord stands with us and will never fail us!

Is the war over? No, the war will continue until Jesus returns. The warfare that is ending is the personal warfare we have suffered through in the enemy’s attempts to shut us down, shut us up, push us to give up, to cave in to his threats, to destroy our lives and even attempt to kill us. In Joel chapter 2, the Lord reveals a time of warfare and terrible oppression by a great army. Further on in verses 18-32, He declares that He will have mercy on the nation and send an abundance of grain, New Wine and Oil. He tells them that He will drive back the terrible army that had oppressed them and promises to end the warfare! In verse 28 He makes a promise to restore all the years that the demonic locusts had stolen from the lives of His people and promises a mighty outpouring of the Holy Spirit, “And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh…”

God is about to return double for all the years of trouble, just as He did with Job! The Angel Armies of Heaven are ushering the people of God out of the wilderness years of preparation and refining into engagement as a unified force. With courage God’s people are pushing back the darkness in an apostolic thrust to take their promised lands. The battle for the nations and the Harvest is beginning, and there is at present a momentum building toward great victories! We are about to see God move in powerful demonstrations of his power on behalf of His people.

After the Lord stated that their warfare had ended in Isaiah 40:2, in the following verses He then declared the great mandate of the people of God—to prepare the way of the Lord! This is the mandate of the Elijah generation moving out in great strength, faith and with the Glory of God seen upon them.

Begin to make way for Jesus to enter your gatherings, your families, your communities and the mountains you occupy! Decide that your warfare has ended, that it is now time for you to occupy your seat of authority. Decide and it shall be established and light will shine on your paths! (Job 22:28)

“The voice of one crying in the wilderness: “Prepare the way of the LORD; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rough places smooth; The glory of the LORD shall be revealed, And all flesh shall see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.” Isaiah 40:3-5

The Transcendent Dynamic of The Journey

Jesus is one-day returning to Jerusalem, Israel. All things will be brought to bear authentically with this reality. Heaven and Earth and all of history is Divinely caught in the dynamic toward this end—all political realities, all economic, all mountains and spheres, and all humanity. All things will bow, will align, will serve, we’ll succumb, will give way to the procession of the King of kings up to His Throne. All agendas and all resistance must give way to His Supreme Majesty.

Our evaluations and perspectives cannot be limited to the distractions of singular occurrences and events. Enlarging our vision to see beyond the current to God’s desired end, with the understanding that on this journey we align ourselves, our churches and ministries with the movements of God, is a crucial ingredient to success and victory. Our hearts must become one with His and our faces set on His course and His pathways.

“Blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose hearts are set on pilgrimage. As they pass through the Valley of Baka, they make it a place of springs; the autumn rains also cover it with pools. They go from strength to strength, till each appears before God in Zion.” Psalm 84:5-7

The New Wine, The Oil & Donald Trump

“Then He turned to His disciples and said privately, “Blessed are the eyes which see the things you see; for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it.” Luke 10:21 -24

What an incredible hour we have been chosen to serve the Lord in. Things are shifting rapidly and accelerating at such a rate that it is sometimes hard to keep up! God’s people that are alive today have the privilege of seeing historic and notable events that are altering the fabric of reality, tearing the veils of deception, exposing the things hidden in darkness and moving the markers of ancient strongholds once thought immovable! The man that God is using to do this is President Donald Trump!

With Wednesday’s announcement acknowledging Jerusalem as the Eternal Capital of Israel and the moving of the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem, the world and the kingdom of darkness went into a tailspin! It is key for the people of God to understand the magnitude of the spiritual ramifications of this stupendous event, to interpret the times and have clarity on the movements of God! Jerusalem though not mentioned in any other holy book, is mentioned 767 times in the Bible—referred to as the City of God the Eternal City and the eternal seat of His Throne!

“At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne of the LORD, and all nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of the LORD. No longer will they follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts.” Jeremiah 3:17

President Donald Trump will be marked as one of the greatest Presidents of all time because He has chosen to align himself with God’s will, with the Word of God and His heart for Jerusalem. Donald Trump has been anointed by God for the job and carries a Breaker Anointing to smash through these ancient barriers and demonic stronghold fiercely guarded over centuries. By recognizing Jerusalem as the Eternal Capital, he is aligning America strategically with God’s will in this hour. By establishing the United States embassy in Jerusalem, he has secured for America a place in the City of God. This is very significant! An Embassy is not only installed in a land, but it is also secured, fortified and protected as the official representation of another Government. It carries all the power and backing of that Government—in this case the United States of America. However, in this instance we cannot ignore the spiritual significance of an Embassy representing a government whose Commander in Chief is also in the service of the Government of the Kingdom of God, and aligned to His purposes!

As the Breaker that is King Jesus, works through Donald Trump to smash the barriers, and the embassy becomes established in Jerusalem, other nations that support the Word of God will begin to follow suit. Now is the time for the leaders of nations to WAKE UP, step out of fear, fear of repercussions, political correctness, personal agendas, elite demonic cliques, and be courageous to do the right thing in the fear of the Lord, as the word admonishes in Zechariah chapters 12-14 (chapters well worth studying in regard to Jerusalem).

The hour is now, the pace is fast and accelerated as God continues to move in power to secure KEY PLACES OF AUTHORITY in the Earth: The City of God—Jerusalem, the Supreme Court, hundreds of conservative judges about to be appointed, and the heads of key positions in all spheres of Life!

“Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths. “FOR OUT OF ZION SHALL GO FORTH THE LAW, AND THE WORD OF THE LORD FROM JERUSALEM.” Isaiah 2:3

About 10 years ago, I had a dream I believe is for this hour: I dreamt that I entered a room where a Pastor and an intercessor were seated. I had on a long trench coat, and I reached deep into one of the pockets and brought out a bottle of wine. The bottle was open, and a drop had spilled on the ground. We all were focused on the drop! The label on the wine said 414 and beneath it said twenty-four years. The intercessor then said, “I want that wine, I am going to try and find it!” She left the room to make calls to find it then came back; I asked if she found it and she said, “I found it, but it costs too much!”

It wasn’t until about 4 years later that God gave me the interpretation when I was writing my book In His Image on the significance of the call on women for such a time as this! I was writing about Esther and being called for in this hour when I saw the reference 4:14 and God spoke to me!

“For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Esther 4:14

I understood from the Lord that the bottle of wine had been opened, but what we have experienced so far has been only a drop of the wine; that there was a time coming where the whole bottle RESERVED FOR THE LAST would be made available! This wine was a very costly wine reserved for radical lovers of God willing to pay the price for it! A people like Esther who will rise up to say, “If I perish, I perish!” The 24 years written on the bottle represented 24 years the wine had been aging! I was radically saved in an encounter with the Lord in 1993 and since understanding the dream have been waiting until 2017-2018 for the fulfillment. I believe it is possible the drop that was spilt fell on millions of hungry saints who came to Catch The Fire in 1994—January 2018 would make it 24 years the wine has been ageing. As I have kept this word in my heart for years meditating on it, the Lord gave me another related 4:14 scripture:

“…So he said, “These are the two anointed ones, who stand beside the Lord of the whole earth.” Zechariah 4:14

The words anointed ones literally translated from the Hebrew mean SONS OF OIL. This is a very significant chapter describing the completing phase of God’s work represented in the Headstone—sons of oil in union with Christ—THE HEADSTONE; prepared and released, FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS! In verse 1 the angel awakens Zechariah out of a state of dullness “…as if he were asleep!” I believe God is about to release a great Awakening! It is a time when the Holy Spirit steps out in a MOVEMENT OF GREAT POWER to take down the great mountains and obstacles in the path of His people as they shout and decree “GRACE, GRACE to it!”(Zech 4:6-9).

Zerubbabel means: one who has left Babylon, and represents Israel coming into a new place; released to work and complete the House of God as the ones who laid the foundation! (verse 9). They work with all the people of God who have left spiritual Babylon in this hour, to complete the works of God! For about 10 years also, God has been highlighting to me Haggai 2:18-19:

‘Consider now from this day forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the day that the foundation of the LORD’s temple was laid—consider it: Is the seed still in the barn? As yet the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree have not yielded fruit. But from this day I will bless you.’ “

Every year I check the date on the Jewish calendar for this date, but have never seen the full release of the promises as I was believing for. But this year after speaking at a significant conference in Ecuador, where I felt a real shift in the times, God reminded me about Haggai, I checked the date and saw that the 24^th was on December 12^th and also the first day of Hanukkah—the festival of UNENDING OIL! He then reminded me that He uses both calendars and I discovered that the 24^th day on the Gregorian calendar fell on the weekend of Rosh Hashanah. I happened to be at a conference that Barbara Yoder and Ryan LeStrange were speaking at in St. Thomas Canada. It was a powerful time where God shifted things for me, told me to close some doors and showed me some new doors to walk through for 5778 and 2018—the year of the open door!

In the year of the open door, the Wine has aged for 24 years, and is ready to be poured out. In this year also, the 24^t^h day of the ninth month begins the season for pouring out of the UNENDING OIL upon the Zech.4:14 SONS OF OIL, Esther 4:14 for such a time as this! I say, let us get ready for a downpour of the OIL and of the WINE! God is about to unleash a vast army of radical lovers of God who have overcome fear; they will turn their cities upside down like the early disciples were accused of (Acts 17:6). We have arrived at the appointed time of History to count the cost and drink the Costly Wine—If I perish, I perish!

When it became time for the children of Israel to enter and possess the Land promised to them, that was to become their inheritance, the Bible states “the Lord their God was with them,” and, “…the shout of a king was among them,” (Num. 23:21). This King is Jesus!

The fame of Israel and the fame of their God went on ahead of them to the land they were about to possess. Great fear fell on the people of the land, and all the enemies of God when they heard that the armies of God were MARCHING FEARLESSLY and headed their way! Rahab—a very wise woman recognized that she was on the losing side and made the choice to take her stand on the side of God:

“I know that the Lord has given this land to you and that a great fear of you has fallen on us…We have heard how the Lord dried up the water of the Red Sea for you when you came out of Egypt. When we heard of it, our hearts melted and everyone’s courage failed because of you. FOR THE LORD YOUR GOD IS GOD IN HEAVEN ABOVE AND ON EARTH BELOW. Joshua 2:9-11

God’s Armada is Now Moving Out to Sea!

I am so encouraged by the experience I had on the morning of the Day of Atonement. I was in prayer with the Lord and had a sense of a revelation on the horizon, as we are in the shifting of times into new dimensions of God’s Glory. I had asked the Lord to help me understand and process this time with wisdom, and not with personal emotional desire. After a wonderful time of communion in His Presence, I opened my Bible and it fell open to 1 Kings chapter 22, I read:

“Jehoshaphat also built a fleet of trading ships to sail to Ophir for gold. But the ships never set sail, for they met with disaster in their home port of Ezion-geber.” 22:48 NLT

This is an account that God had highlighted to me in past years. Now the scriptures say that Jehoshaphat did right in the eyes of the Lord, but he did make some big mistakes! His first mistake was joining with King Ahab in battle—Jezebel’s husband. After this battle Jehu the seer said to him, “Why should you help the wicked and love those who hate the Lord?” Because of this God was angry with Jehoshaphat! Jehoshaphat’s second mistake was to ally himself with Ahab’s son Ahaziah in an endeavor to build ships at the port Ezion Geber, with the intent of getting gold from Ophir. Eliezer prophesied against Jehoshaphat because of this:

“After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah allied himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who acted very wickedly. And he allied himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they made the ships in Ezion Geber. But Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, “Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, the LORD has destroyed your works.” Then the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.” 2 Chronicles 20:35-37

As I pondered this account, I thought to myself that even though the Lord has been very good to me, and I have seen many dreams come to pass, the big dream and vision God has given me, kept hidden in my heart over numerous years, has never come to pass—the ship that carried my dream has never left port!

I began to wonder if I, my parents, or my ancestors had ever entered into partnerships that God was not pleased with. I asked the Holy Spirit to lead and guide me in a prayer of repentance. I stood before God’s Throne of Mercy and began to systematically repent for every type of unholy yoke we as a family could have entered into. As I was slowly allowing the Holy Spirit to guide me in prayer, with my eyes closed I saw a picture of a heavy chain across the screen of my mind, from left to right. My eyes were intently focused on the chain, so I wasn’t really paying attention to the full picture as it was a bit foggy. But there was a sense of something on the left and something large on the right, and behind it was very blue. Something then came down with great force, so fast that I did not see what it was, and snapped the chain in two! Immediately a burst of energy flooded my chest that took my breath away, and I gasped in great surprise! I asked the Lord, WHAT WAS THAT! My eyes were still closed and I had a sudden realization that it was a large ship on the right that had been held by the chain, and now that it was broken, the ship began to slowly move out to sea! THE SHIP WAS LEAVING PORT! Hallelujah!

Immediately I knew that what I had experienced in the Spirit was about to become reality for many who have been prepared for this hour of history to shift with God into a new levels of His Glory—passionate saints who have been given big dreams but had not seen them materialize to date! This is a significant year in God’s purposes. It is a year of trouble and seeming chaos, HOWEVER, it is the year of the beginning of a Reprieve, the year of the Favor of the Lord where the Spirit of the Lord will rest heavily on a prepared people, a year of release and the thrusting out of the saints—an anointed and appointed time for the dreams of God planted in His people to materialize!

It is now the new Jewish year 5778—the year of the door and new beginnings. In this time of chaos and darkness looming on the horizon, GOD’S ARMADA is leaving Port, sent out onto the great Sea of Humanity! The ships are moving out in the season of Harvest—the time of a very significant Feast of Tabernacles, which is a celebration for the Great Journey that has brought us to this day, and the Ingathering of the Great Harvest. To the Jewish people the Fast of Tabernacles also represents the DIVINE CLOUDS OF GLORY that covered Israel during the 40 years the wilderness.

“Arise shine for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. Behold darkness covers the earth and deep darkness the peoples…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…They shall bring gold and incense, And they shall proclaim the praises of the LORD… AND I WILL GLORIFY THE HOUSE OF MY GLORY. Isaiah 60:1,5-7

I asked the lord where the ships were going and He said, “They are on a quest for Gold of Ophir.” This Gold is the GLORY OF GOD that the Bride wears— representing the great Harvest of souls and all the provision and resources with which to gather the Harvest and build the House of His Glory, “… At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir” (Ps. 45:9). King Solomon also built ships to bring back gold from Ophir.

“King Solomon also built a fleet of ships at Ezion Geber, which is near Elath on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom… And they went to Ophir, and acquired four hundred and twenty talents of gold from there, and brought it to King Solomon.” 1 Kings 9:26-28

Much provision is about to be released to fulfill the dreams of God! Four Hundred and twenty talents equal sixteen tons of Gold! It is now time for dreams to be fulfilled as the Ship of Dreams heads out into the Great Sea, leaving the Port of Ezion Geber in strength and great authority; Ezion Geber means the spine, or STRENGTH OF A WARRIOR!

God’s Armada is leaving in the Port, Strength of a Warrior—an Armada comprised of many types of ships to accomplish His great Campaign—there are passenger fellow-ships, great rescue ships like the Carpathia, Mighty War ships armed and powerful, Hospital ships providing support to heal the Harvest and the wounded, Cargo ships loaded with supplies, Oil tankers carrying oil reserves, Apostle-ships—apostolic, prophetic networks equipped to lead the Campaign, in mighty Carrier ships, providing defense and air support for attack sorties.

The many disasters caused by recent hurricanes, and the volatility of present world concerns, has caused President Trump to send out various types of military ships to protect and to bring relief. This is a prophetic picture of a move of God now underway! President Trump has recently commissioned a new warship—The USS Gerald Ford—the first of a next generation of nuclear powered aircraft carriers. According to Wikipedia, an aircraft carrier is: a warship that serves as a SEAGOING AIRBASE, equipped for carrying, arming, deploying, and recovering aircraft. Typically, it is the Capital (Leading) ship of a fleet, as it allows a naval force to project air power worldwide without depending on local bases for staging aircraft operations. A seagoing airbase is a picture of the Church now untethered from the building, moving outside of its walls into the marketplace—the Sea of Humanity.

As I thought of the things taking place in the world, I said, Yes God, it is time for You to do something! I heard Him say, “Yes! And what I am about to do, I am going to do through My people!” I then thought of the marvels that God had done through His servants under the Old Covenant—Noah built an Ark, Elijah stopped the rain, Moses parted the Red Sea, Joshua caused the sun and moon to stand still, David destroyed Goliath, Israel conquered great enemy armies:

“…through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Hebrews 11:33-34

The saints of God now function under the New Covenant—a better Covenant, one that allows the very King of kings to dwell in us by His Holy Spirit, in the Power of His Resurrection! Nothing is impossible to the people of God! Great exploits, signs and great wonders will be done through the people of God in the days ahead! So, let us gird up our loins like Elijah, get ready by humbling ourselves before the Lord of Heaven and Earth, and pray the prayer of repentance that always precedes a great move of God! Jehoshaphat made the mistake of becoming unequally yoked with someone who was defiled by sin and rebellion against God. God has said in His word:

“Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness? And what accord has Christ with Belial? Or what part has a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM. I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.” Therefore “COME OUT FROM AMONG THEM AND BE SEPARATE, SAYS THE LORD. DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN, AND I WILL RECEIVE YOU.” “I WILL BE A FATHER TO YOU, AND YOU SHALL BE MY SONS AND DAUGHTERS, SAYS THE LORD ALMIGHTY.” 2 Corinthians 8:14-18

Dear Father, God of Heaven and Earth, Creator of the universe; all powerful, mighty and majestic God, holy are you lord! We stand before Your Throne of Mercy today. I ask your forgiveness for myself, my parents and my ancestors back to Adam for ungodly and unholy covenants, alliances, pacts, agreements, partnerships, and friendships we have participated in that yoked us in a defiling way to the kingdom of darkness. Forgive us and our ancestors for opening the doors of the gates of Hades into our lives and our families lives. Forgive us for opening doors through sexual immorality, business partnerships, and financial agreements. Lord, in agreement with the Blood that cancels and removes all sin, in agreement with Christ and in agreement with the power of the mighty name of Jesus, we ask that all verdicts, consequences and reaping effects be now nullified and cancelled, broken by the power of the sword of Your Word. Break now every ungodly soul tie binding me to the kingdom of darkness. Lord in Your great power, break once and for all the chain that binds, tethers and restricts me from now moving out in the Strength of a Warrior, to fulfill the dreams you have planted in my heart. May I set sail on your Dream Carrier with You as You chart My course. Loose me now in the Resurrection Power of the Holy Spirit! Let my ship of dreams set sail with integrity, majesty, power and great authority into the Sea of Humanity to gather in Your beautiful Harvest. Lead me safely through the storms that may arise as I move out with You to accomplish Your will. Amen

From Pentecost to Tabernacles – A Journey of Ever-Increasing Waves of His Glory!

prairie-679014_1280

With Shavuot, the Biblical Feast of Pentecost coming up on June 11th there is a heightened sense of expectancy of increasing measures of God’s Manifest Glory moving with purpose toward planet Earth. From the time that the door was first opened and the Spirit of God poured out on Israel around two thousand years ago, God has been moving purposefully and intentionally toward the summing up and completion of all things in Christ at His Return. At Pentecost the door was opened for the gathering in of a great harvest of souls. The Feast of Tabernacles is the closing of the Harvest Season, and a celebration of God’s goodness and faithfulness on the Great Journey toward union with His Presence and His Glory.

In the time frame the Father has purposed, Jesus is going to return in Glory, but until His feet touch down on the Mount of Olives, He will be CONTINUALLY COMING with ever-increasing waves of His Manifest Presence! The Body of Christ is poised to again experience what occurred at Pentecost, re-released in mounting waves of His Presence as momentum builds towards His return. If the Glory and an invasion of the planet by Angel Armies were needed to establish foundations at Pentecost, how much more will it be needed to sum up history, for the work that prepares the way for Jesus’ return, and the completion of the Great Journey represented in the Feast of Tabernacles.

On this Great Journey, like David we discover that there are consequences to touching the Ark of His Presence in an unrighteous manner outside of God’s prescribed way written in His Word. David’s intentions were good, even noble; he wanted to prepare a Resting place for God to dwell in. But our God is a Consuming Fire and will consume the dross in our lives on our Journey with Him.

“This is what the LORD says: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool. Where is the house you will build for me? Where will my resting place be? Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?” declares the LORD. “These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word.” Isaiah 66:1-2

In David’s case God’s wrath broke out against Uzzah due to David’s neglect in learning the correct protocol for handling the Ark, written in God’s Word. Like David, we can also become put off, or even angry with God when our intentions are noble and we desire to do great things for God, but the opposite of our expectations are occurring and all hell is breaking loose!

The Everlasting God is a Consuming Fire, He is Holy and the weight of His Glory can crush and destroy, the reason He holds back. When the Ark was stolen by the enemy, people died and plagues broke out wherever it was taken (1 Sam.5,6). God honors our deep desire for His Presence and is very gracious and patient with us. However, for a significant and notable upsurge of the Glory that the world-wide Church is pressing in for—that He also desires, and has purposed for this hour—a profound level of consecration to His Will, His Word and His Ways is needed. Like David we must repent, change course, press in for His direction and stay the course on the Journey of consecration. God is looking for purity in heart, righteousness in our stand, singleness of purpose, passion in our love, excellence in our walk and a willingness to lay down our lives and surrender all because He is so worth it!

God’s instruction to David for achieving his heart’s desire was six steps then praise……all the way to Jerusalem! God is not in a hurry like we are, He is a wise and good father who waits to see that our character can occupy and hold the ground that He intends to give, that we are not destroyed by it. Many revivals have come and gone over history, but God is now preparing a holy generation, a royal priesthood of great integrity, fierce in passion, magnificent in love, that will hold and occupy in revival fire, and through great turmoil on the Earth.

The Journey was not a chore for David; it was one that was filled with the joy of His Presence where he danced unashamedly before his Lord. Israel and the Body of Christ has been on a Spiritual Journey up to Jerusalem over the centuries; the procession up to Jerusalem to see the King established on His Throne, is one that is to be filled with joy despite the condition of the world and the circumstances around us. God’s antidote to get us through to the end is PRAISE! Every six steps we stop and praise, every time the enemy tries to derail us we to stop and praise; when life is hard and things look grim we dig down deep, find the joy and begin to praise. We are to repent quickly and press in for full consecration, as the very safest, protected place to be is always the very centre of the Will of God.

God spoke to me when we first opened our church and said we were to take one service per month for only worship and praise without any agenda, only the prophetic as it occurs. As time went on He put it on my heart, to have our worship night on Rosh Chodesh or as close to it as we could. Rosh Chodesh is the first day of the Jewish month and carries the principle of first fruits—where we choose to give God the first and very best of our lives on the first of the month. The word feast in Hebrew is mô‛êd and means an appointment. During God’s special times of appointment with Him, greater dimensions of open heavens are available to us as we press in to see His face!

The Jewish people continue to this day to be blessed in all spheres of life and mountains of influence, a phenomenon that has the world very puzzled. However the world has ruled out the God factor and Israel’s obedience to continue to honor God’s appointed times—these special times of appointment with Him, set by Him and for Him, in His Word. I don’t believe it is necessary for Gentiles to keep the rituals and traditions that the Jewish people do, but there can be an honoring of these set times, as they are ordained by God, and are weighted with glory! More importantly, over History we have seen that God has chosen to move significantly on these times, to release His plans and purposes for both Israel and the Gentile church, to mark them with His Glory. These special times are also intended by God to keep His people focused, single-eyed and steady on the path of destiny; they provide times to stop and praise Him on the Great Journey, and begin our next steps with hearts filled with thanksgiving!

wanderer-455338_1280 These times of rest where we stop and praise are vital for our spirits to be refreshed that we may press on to finish our course, whether individually or corporately. It is dangerous to settle on the Journey, as we risk falling into the trap of believing, we are rich and have need of nothing! (Rev. 3:17). With this mind-set we become complacent, not only losing what has been gained but falling back into a place of religious activity devoid of His Presence. I can remember distinctly one day sitting in a park under a tree and heard the lord say clearly out of the blue, “Denominations are points of settlement on the great Journey on the ascent to Union with Christ.” On the Journey, our great hunger moves God to release moves of the Spirit in His appointed times; this wonderful atmosphere then becomes a great place in which to dwell and settle down.

I am reminded of the insightful allegory written by Robert Burnell, Escape from Christendom; in it he describes a pilgrim on the Great Journey, searching to find the City of God. On his way he stumbles on Christian City where he is tempted to stop and settle as so many had. Here he finds a place of much activity, bit his heart remains unfulfilled.

As we press in to consecrate our lives to the Lord, and press on in a dance of praise on the Great Journey on the ascent to Union with Christ, and the fullness of the stature of Christ, God will release increasing waves of His Glory to undergird us, lift us up in strength and carry us on to the finish line, and we will find the City of God! God’s intent is that the Great Journey takes us from Glory to greater Glory, from strength to greater strength, and from faith to GREAT FAITH!

“Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion. As they go through the Valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools. They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.” Psalm 84:5-7 ESV

On January 1st of this year the Lord showed me that He was opening a GREAT and EFFECTIVE DOOR to the Body of Christ in 2016 see Let There Be Light. I believe in the month of June there will be a greater release of Glory to sustain the saints in the harvest fields—His Presence will increase, doors will open and breakthroughs will occur. Over the last two weeks I keep hearing God say, “Behold I do a new thing, do you not perceive it! Let us begin a new season of praise filled lives this Pentecost and remember always to stop every six steps and PRAISE!

THE PHENOMENAL RELEASE!

“Son of man, what is this proverb that you people have about the land of Israel, which says, ‘The days are prolonged, and every vision fails’? Tell them therefore, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “I will lay this proverb to rest, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel.” But say to them, “The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision. Ezekiel 12:23

The Body of Christ is divinely and rapidly shifting into God’s appointed times and seasons in its approach to the fulfillment of all things, on its ascent to UNION WITH CHRIST. There is heightened spiritual awareness of movements and shifts occurring in spiritual dimensions as the battle lines are being drawn and God’s Kingdom enforcers are being groomed, prepared and positioned for victorious territorial inroads!

These times of shifting and transitioning into secured positions of strategic places of authority, may come with some confusion, perplexity and with the shaking of our circumstances—as the old shifts to make way for a new epoch of time! In spite of this we are to move with intentionality and confidence into this season, with great expectation, for God is now drawing out into deep waters, those whom He has prepared, establishing them within boundaries they will occupy and take dominion!

The character and fortitude of generals, leaders and soldiers are forged within the fire of conflict, yet they must rise to overcome at all costs! So it is with God’s Army being raised up now for a volatile season of conflict ahead, both in the spiritual and the natural. God’s people must be strong and of good courage as His Word declares that HE IS WITH US! The LORD goes ahead as the Conqueror, He covers us from behind and HE WILL NEVER FAIL US! This is the season to overcome all fears and eliminate all soulish hindrances! It is time to move beyond the status quo and the mundane into a season of SPIRITUAL EXCELLENCE and great Glory!

A NEW CRUSE REQUIRED
When God’s chooses to initiate a new phase of His work, He prepares a new model to accommodate the work. At Jesus’ first coming the Lamb of God was slain, and the Cross became established as the foundation of the Temple of God. Because of this many aspects of the old model of the Temple became irrelevant and could not support the new direction, movement and purposes of God.

In 2 Kings 2:19 the people of the city came to Elisha to say in effect that they had a well positioned city but the land was very unproductive due to the condition of the water. Elisha instructed them to get a NEW CRUSE (KJV) and put SALT in it! Elisha then poured the salt into the source of the water and it was healed! The Salt is representative of absolute trust, and therefore, complete submission to the Lord. In Leviticus 2; 13 God instructs the priests, “every offering of your grain offering you shall season with salt… With all your offerings you shall offer salt.”

God is ever on the move, His face set toward the completion of His purposes and Divine will! It is vital to now be moving in sync with Him as He advances into the completing phase of His work to be summed up in Christ at His return. To complete the work a new model or wineskin will be required to overcome the challenges ahead—a wineskin that is well seasoned with Salt! Salt will be a necessary ingredient in the saints to be able to bear the weight of the Glory of God descending and enveloping the Temple of God’s people. Salt is also necessary to sustain the Body of Christ through the demonic offensive purposed to prevent the Return of the King! Many aspects of the old model will change also to fashion a Bride that moves the heart of God and compels Jesus to return, and to accommodate billions from the Harvest coming into the House of God. In Matthew 5:13 Jesus said that if we didn’t have salt, we were good for nothing!

SETTING OUR HOUSE IN ORDER
In August of 2013 a well known prophet leader gave me a life transforming word that concluded with, “This is the day of your phenomenal release.” As is the case for many, when the Lord speaks there is a sense of imminence that leads us to mistakenly believe that the word will begin to be fulfilled in the near future…surely within the year! However Joseph is a prime example for us that this is not always the case. Psalm 105 tells us in regard to Joseph, “Until the time that his word came to pass, the word of the LORD tested him.”

God is a Master craftsman, and everything that He does is with excellence, is strategic and fits into a much greater and more complex plan. There is therefore a process to which we must agree and acquiesce in order to see the word fulfilled. 2014 turned out to be one of the toughest years that I have endured; however, God did begin to set some personal things in order and did open some doors for me, but this came with such warfare that I could barely recognize them—maybe some can relate! However victorious overcomers keep on fighting the fight of faith! In the midst of the warfare God gave some very clear and important directions that He made me understand were preparation for the season ahead and the move of the Spirit that is upon us! These directions were to get the House in order for the fast approaching future that we may stand with confidence and strength, having a clear and uncluttered mind, in the midst of chaotic times:

Our Personal House :
The enemy’s first line of attack is to divide and he will start with relationships closest to you—with our spouses and our families. I believe God is holding back the full release until our marriages and families are established according to His Word, and become rooted and grounded in His love. God has the strategies for the toughest situations in relationships and will reveal them when we seek Him in Spirit, Truth and a humility that is prepared to forgive seventy times seven. Our Churches and Ministry Houses must be in administrative order:

At the end of 2014 until the present, God has been speaking very loudly and clearly to me about this. Under His instructions He has taking me through both a natural and spiritual spring cleaning of the ministry and our church. He lead me to clean my filing cabinet and put all the files in order—something I have been putting off for a long time. I have physically thrown out or given away everything not relevant or being used. God instructed me to upgrade to a better website to accommodate His purpose for our ministry—another thing I was very reluctant to do because of the amount of work involved. However, having been obedient to do all He has asked, I am now ecstatic because of the sense of peace and order invading my world!

Our Financial House:
Another area of concern He is targeting is our financial house. The ringing question I heard in my heart was, “How I can pour out upon you the blessing I intend to until both your personal and ministry financial houses are in order, established with integrity and set a righteous foundation.” He has lead me to upgrade our accounting program, organize our bank accounts, register business names that needed registering, become a non-for-profit corporation and apply for charitable status. All questionable practices and places of worldly compromise are places of weakness in the structure.

Build an Altar of My Presence:

As order began to be established in our lives, He then instructed us, “Build an Altar of My Presence in your midst.” Our meetings begin with much time in praise and worship, however the Lord instructed us to press in and take one meeting per month for only praise and worship, with no agenda or teaching, only the prophetic as it occurs. He is demonstrating that as we let go of control, allow Him to lead His church and press in to worship, we are building and establishing the Altar of His Presence. In Ezra 3:1-2 it states that when the Jews returned to rebuild the Temple they gathered together as ONE united man to Jerusalem and they built the altar—the very first thing that was established was the altar of worship. In the times of shaking and unrest as the enemy moves to stir his people, The LORD’s Presence will be our greatest protection, “Though fear had come upon them because of the people of those countries, they set the altar on its bases; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, both the morning and evening burnt offerings” (Ezra 3:3). As we build the Altar of His Presence, press in to worship and fan the flames of our passion, Heaven will begin to break in and break out!

The Lord then said to Stoke the FIRE! I checked the definition of the word Stoke which is to:
Tend the fire—take care of, and guard
Stir up the fire—stir up our passion for Him
Feed the fire—feed it with words of love, devotion, thanksgiving and praise
Supply fuel to the fire—move each other with words of encouragement to keep pressing on
Shake up the coals of fire—Invite the Holy Spirit & His angels, give them the permission to wake us up, shake us up, fan the flames and stir our hearts.

The most recent instruction God has given me is to “Ask Again!”

“As a pregnant woman about to give birth writhes and cries out in her pain, so were we in your presence, LORD. We were with child, we writhed in labor, but we gave birth to wind. We have not brought salvation to the earth, and the people of the world have not come to life.” Isaiah 26:17-18

Like Peter many can say that we have toiled all night and have caught nothing, this, in comparison to the great promises from God given to us personally, and the magnificent promises written in His Word! But I hear the whisper of the words in my spirit, “Ask again, seek again, believe again! Knock again and the door will be opened” …opened to what? Great and awesome possibilities, and seeming impossibilities! Doors to discovery and invention, doors to healing and resurrection Life, doors to the Harvest and dreams realized, and doors of access to His Throne Room and His Presence. Go again, and this time in obedience, throw your net on the other side—the catch will be supernaturally miraculous! Elijah did not give up, he told his servant to go and look again!

I hear the Lord saying that we are going higher, we are being groomed and summoned to His Presence. A leader of an apostolic network recently shared that while driving one morning the song, Fly Me to the Moon began to play and the Holy Spirit fell on him so powerfully that he had to pull over. Later that day at another location the same song began to play! He stopped and asked the Holy Spirit to play it a third time if He was saying something to Him in this song. That same night at a friend’s house the song began to play again! He then had a dream that he was in a powerful aircraft and a voice came over the intercom and said, “Sorry for the delay, we are about to take off!” God will delay His plans to give us time to get our Houses in order…but the day will come when He moves! The Body of Christ s about to take off to higher realities than we have ever known in the rocket ship of God’s Presence! It’s all about Him—it’s all about His Presence! We are being instructed to leave the outer court behind and all the distractions that take our eyes off Him, get into the Holy of Holies, and get ready for take off!

Many outbreaks of revival will be occurring in pockets all over the earth in the days ahead as momentum build toward Jesus’ return. However, a second Pentecost is upon us, or rather the fulfillment of the first—what began at Pentecost will be fulfilled at Tabernacles. This mighty wave will begin in Jerusalem in its fullness at the Feast of Tabernacles and quickly spread to Canada, and certain States, cities and nations united with Israel. The world will begin to see the difference with those who stand with the Lord and Israel and those who do not, “But against none of the children of Israel shall a dog move its tongue, against man or beast, that you may know that the LORD does make a difference between the Egyptians and Israel” (Exodus 11:7).

The Body of Christ is poised at the entrance of a phenomenal – extraordinary and unparalleled release in a climactic season! This word also means, uncommon, outstanding, surpassing, and unprecedented—a remarkable wonder! God will begin to flood the earth with His Glory through a prepared people. He is refining and preparing everything and bringing it up to a new and higher standard. The morning after I heard the story about the song, Fly me to the moon, I woke up to the word, Arriba, which means higher and going up! We are in the Season of THE PHENOMENAL RELEASE!

ONE NEW MAN

israel3 — Illustration by Martha Charlton

For close to two thousand years from the time of Abraham, the Father has worked to cultivate the Olive Tree that is Israel, establishing the protocols of relationship to an omnipotent God. He established the altar of worship, laying the foundations in preparation to receive the grafting in of the Gentiles to the Hebraic root, through Jeshua—the Christ (Rom. 11). Since establishing His Church in Christ on the foundations of Israel, God has been at work in the Gentile nations, also for approximately two thousand years. This may appear to be a very long time, and may have given the impression to some that God is finished with Israel, but a thousand years is a day to the Lord (2 Pet. 3:8).

In God’s use of numbers in the Bible, the number four is representative of creation, especially the New Creation (Rev. 21:16). God is now making the necessary preparations to shift into the final completing phase of His work, where the fullness of His purposes in and through Israel will be made manifest, to those who have eyes to see, as Israel awakens once again to their God.

“By Abolishing in His [own crucified] flesh the enmity [caused by] the Law with its decrees and ordinances [which He annulled]; that He from the two might create in Himself one new man [One new quality of humanity out of the two], so making peace. And [He designed] to reconcile to God both [Jew and Gentile, united] in a single body by means of His cross, thereby killing the mutual enmity and bringing the feud to an end.” Ephesians 2:15-16 AMP

Jesus became a stumbling block to Israel, but Israel has also become a stumbling block to the Church! In this last phase of the Father’s work, He will remove the veil of blindness from Israel’s eyes, and from the eyes of the Gentile church concerning Israel; this will usher in a significant Awakening and a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit—the fullness and completion of what began at Pentecost! At the time that both the Foundation and the Cornerstone was laid, there were notable invasions of earth by Heaven, releasing great signs and wonders! The establishment of the Headstone and the release of the ‘sons of God’—the Headstone generation, will also come with a great invasion of earth by the angelic hosts, accompanied by great signs in the Heavens and on the earth!

Israel is a both a natural and spiritual entity, a vessel that is progressively being transformed by God, from the natural into a Heavenly City (Gen. 22:17). Many look at Jerusalem with natural eyes and all they can see is a bloody City; it is time to begin to see with God’s eyes; to understand with his heart, His passion for this nation, a nation that has paid such a tremendous cost to be marked with His Name, from their conception to this present day!

It is important to challenge our beliefs and examine carefully in the Holy Spirit our doctrine concerning Israel, as Heaven begins to shine Light on the Word, releasing fresh revelation concerning Israel, for such a time as this!

“But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near through the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made the two one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by abolishing in his flesh the law with its commandments and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new man out of the two, thus making peace…” Ephesians 2:13-15 NIV

One-United — Painting by Christine Peterkin

On the Day of Pentecost the disciples who gathered together were in one accord; they were of one mind as they waited to receive the Promise of the Father spoken of by Jesus (Acts 1:4). Because of the unity amongst them, the disciples were positioned to receive the commanded blessing (Acts 1:14 2:1). The Commanded Blessing will be released in power, in the Day of His Power, when we are of one accord in the One New Man!

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; for there the LORD commanded the blessing— Life forevermore.” Psalm 133

God’s view of union is portrayed by oil flowing down from the Head of Aaron—the high priest of Israel, down his beard to the edge of his priestly garments. Union of the Body of Christ cannot be accomplished until there is honor that produces union between Israel and the Gentile church, and Israel is restored to the place of the head and not the tail! The River of God flows from Heaven through Christ’s secured position in Jerusalem, and the oil flows from the Head of Christ through Israel to His Body.

The Lord’s ultimate plan is that the Gentile Church work together with the Jewish servants of God, to become in unity the Israel of God, and is restored and prepared as the Bride for her coming Bridegroom and King, “…make straight in the desert a highway for our God” (Isaiah 40:3).

“For I tell you that Christ has become a servant of the Jews on behalf of God’s truth, to confirm the promises made to the patriarchs so that the Gentiles may glorify God for his mercy, as it is written: “Therefore I will praise you among the Gentiles; I will sing hymns to your name.” Again, it says, “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people.” Romans 15:8-12

To everything, there is a season and a time for every purpose; the time has come for Jew and Gentile to work together to build the Temple of the Lord according to God’s blueprint, and to bring in the Ark of His Presence. In the same way that David made all the preparation and provisions for the building of the Temple of God, Jesus has made all the preparations and provision for the Temple to be completed. The stones have been prepared, the wood has been cut, the iron for the doors and gates is now ready; there is bronze, silver and gold in abundance, and the wine and the oil is prepared (1 Chronicles 22).

God has been at work preparing His skilled workers—Intercessors, leaders, churches and ministries: specialists in every field of building work, “all types of skillful men” and women, each one having their part to contribute, important the completion of the House. The wine and the oil are being prepared to be poured out, to sustain and equip all the workers to complete the building, and for the procession to bring the Ark of His Presence into the Sanctuary.

“Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God. Therefore arise and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy articles of God into the house that is to be built for the name of the LORD.” 1Chronicles:22:19

The enemies of God have been uniting against the Kingdom of God and have been gaining ground. The Body of Christ has proven to be very weak because of its many divisions. It is time to set our focus on the Father and submission to the Father’s Will and the Father’s ways, as the fullness of time for the Father’s purposes and the Father’s dreams has come! As Victor Hugo once said, “Like the trampling of a mighty army, such is the force of an idea whose time has come.”

We are now approaching the time for the Father’s dream of the completion of His House—the building of the Headstone; the time of the Father’s dream for his daughters; the time of the revelation of the Sons of God; the time of the restoration of all things.

It is time for the fullness of the Father’s Promise—the commanded blessing; the time of the Day of His Power—when His people volunteer freely. It is time for the day of the Harvest—the day of multitudes of harvesters being sent into the fields to bless the world in the Spirit of the Father!

It is time for the restoration of the nation of Israel and the Jewish people; the time for the Messiah’s unveiling of Himself to His brethren. It is the time for love and union in the Body of Christ, the time to end the night of wrong as stated by the poet William Merrill:

Rise up, O men of God! Have done with lesser things;

Give heart and mind and soul and strength to serve the King of Kings.

Rise up O men of God! His Kingdom tarries long;

Bring in the day of brotherhood and end the night of wrong.

Rise up O men of God!

The Church for you doth wait,

Her strength unequal to her task

RISE UP AND MAKE HER GREAT!

FOR THE CAUSE OF ZION!

“For it is the day of the LORD’s vengeance, the year of recompense for the cause of Zion.” Isaiah 34:8

Before the earth existed, the Godhead devised a transcendent plan to establish a place of abode for themselves; a place that would be recognized by all mankind as the centre of Heaven’s administrations on Earth. God’s choice was Jerusalem, Israel! The Sanctuary and dwelling of the Most High God was established in Israel, and as a consequence is known today as the Holy Land.

Possessing the understanding that Israel is the central factor in the unfolding of God’s end-time plan will become crucial for all the saints, especially pastors and leaders working and partnering with God to enforce and complete His purposes! A deficiency in this understanding will become a handicap in the ability to process the movements of God. An accurate comprehension of God’s intent through Israel provides access to keys that unlock our capacity to apprehend the fullness of His leading and direction, and the facility to be aligned with His plans in this hour! THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD—PAST, PRESENT AND FUTURE SUMMED UP IN HIS SON, JESUS—IS CENTERED IN JERUSALEM!

“Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel FOREVER.” Ezekiel 43:7

The battles being fought in the spiritual realm—manifested on earth and presently gaining momentum—are all related directly or indirectly to Israel, this tiny piece of real estate on earth the size of New York City. God’s plan for Israel has been contested by the powers of darkness from the outset. Satan, the archenemy of God has fully recognized the significance of Israel to the fulfillment of the purposes of God on earth, and works incessantly to thwart God’s plan! The battle lines are being drawn and the stage is being set for an explosive showdown! Scripture is very clear in regard to Israel and God’s destiny for this nation, and it is also very clear that to oppose Israel is to oppose God and HIS CHOICE OF ISRAEL!

“Cursed be everyone who curses you, and blessed be those who bless you!” Genesis 27:29

“Also the LORD your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.” Deuteronomy 30:7

In this hour—this crucial time God has given us to prepare for the return of Jesus—it is of grave urgency that teaching and understanding of this issue be brought to the nations of the earth! It is critical to the safety of nations, and to those in the Church who acknowledge the Lordship of Christ, that they make the choice to partner with God for His will to be done—this means to partner and be an ally of Israel.

In the Church we have become so accustomed to taking the Scriptures written to Israel and for Israel, and applying them to ourselves, our cities, and our nations that we have become guilty of completely overlooking or minimizing God’s awesome intention for the Land of Israel, the City of Jerusalem and the Jewish people! Yes, through Christ we do inherit the promises made to Israel and the benefit of the Covenants, BUT THE PROMISES AND COVENANTS STILL REMAIN THEIRS! Is there any nation other than Israel that God has singled out, set apart and united Himself with them in purpose and in destiny?

“Ask now about the former days, long before your time, from the day God created human beings on the earth; ask from one end of the heavens to the other. Has anything so great as this ever happened, or has anything like it ever been heard of? Has any other people heard the voice of God speaking out of fire, as you have, and lived? Has any god ever tried to take for himself one nation out of another nation, by testings, by signs and wonders, by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, or by great and awesome deeds, like all the things the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your very eyes?” Deuteronomy 4:32-36

THE HOLY SPIRIT BUILDS THE HOUSE

The Holy Spirit comes to build the House of God that Jesus inhabits, individually and corporately. THE HOLY SPIRIT CARRIES THE WHOLE COUNSEL OF GOD AND HE ALONE HAS THE BLUEPRINT OF THE HOUSE. How important is it then to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and have the heart and mind to be aligned with Him, especially the apostolic leaders who are called to build the House of God.

Certain denominations have made the choice to stand against Israel, and many within the Church are now coming dangerously close to aligning themselves to the antichrist spirit of antisemitism arising in these last days! Some Christian leaders and denominations are even openly calling on boycotts of Israel and joining the ranks of the demonic hosts in protest against Israel!

“All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish… Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all. For I am the LORD your God who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, Do not fear; I will help you. Isaiah 41:11-13

If pastors and leaders of churches and denominations, who are called to build apostolically, are devoid in understanding of the significance of Israel to the whole counsel of God, can the House being built be true to Plumb? To be apostolic—as the Church is called to be in the last days, is to have God’s view of His corporate House. It is to be privy to His End Game strategy, His plans and purposes! It is to have His understanding of the battles in His VICTORIOUS CAMPAIGN to overthrow the kingdom of darkness and take His Seat on His Throne in Jerusalem. It is to have His Mind and Heart that encompasses all His objectives corporately and Globally. To see from His perspective is to receive a measure of understanding of the manner in which the dynamics of His Kingdom are PURPOSEFULLY INTEGRATED WITH ISRAEL!

The Ark of His Presence is in procession moving with fierce intentionality, heading in ONE DIRECTION, towards JERUSALEM, the Holy City of God, from where He will rule and reign and have complete world Dominion. If builders do not have His heart and His intention for and through Israel then can they be on the same Journey with Him–a Journey that culminates in Jerusalem?

THE BLOOD MOONS DISCOUNTED

Some have discounted the significance of the 4 Blood moons of 2014 & 2015 that will fall on the Jewish feast days of Passover and Tabernacles, on the basis that three of the four moons will not be seen by Israel and because the blood moons of 1493, 1949 came a year after the events they were a supposed to be a sign of (see previous article). However, I do believe that the significance of the Blood Moons depends on the perspective with which we look at them!

“God said, ‘Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years.’” Genesis 1:14

God placed lights in the Heavens as signs. What is the meaning of a sign? The Hebrew word used is oth, which can mean: a miracle, a beacon, a signal, or a sign. The definition of the word sign is: any object, action, event, pattern, etc., which conveys a meaning. A sign can give evidence of something past, present or future!

What is the significance of the dates of the past three Tetrads that occured in 1493, 1049 and 1967? GOD HAS BEEN ON A MOVEMENT TOWARD THE DESTINATION OF JERUSALEM FROM TIME PAST—ALIGNING WORLD EVENTS TO ACCOMMODATE HIS PURPOSES! In 1493 God opened the door to new world He was holding in reserve for such a time, when the Dark Ages of sin and antisemitism had reached its fullness in the Spanish Inquisition. We see an example of this in the Bible when He waited four hundred years for the iniquity of the Amorites to reach its fullness before He came down to deliver Israel and take them into the Promised Land, “…for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure.” (Gen. 15:16).

THE TETRAD BEGINNING IN 1949 CONFIRMS THE PROGRESSION OF THE MOVEMENT OF THE PRESENCE ON ITS JOURNEY AS IT MOVES WITH DETERMINATION TOWARDS JERUSALEM! In the New World, God establishes the United States as a world power. The United States in 1949 grants de jure recognition to the State of Israel! The Knesset convenes for the first time! Israel is admitted into the United Nations as the 59th member on May 11th 1949. In December 1949 Ben Gurion proclaims JERUSALEM AS ISRAEL’S CAPITAL, AND THE FIRST KNESSET IS HELD IN JERUSALEM!

THE TETRAD BEGINNING IN 1967 COMPLETES THE JOURNEY IN THE NATURAL! In 1967 on June 5th-10th through the miraculous Six Day War, Israel annexes east Jerusalem and JERUSALEM IS RE-UNIFIED under the full governance and sovereignty of Israel for the first time since they lost it to the Babylonians over 2500 years ago!

If these Tetrads are supposed to be signs that only give direction or point the way to these events, but came after the fact, then, yes, they are useless! However if they are signs that were purposed to confirm or give evidence of movement occurring in the Spirit, then they are worth investigating! We must also consider whether the Tetrads are sign to Israel, or are they a sign related to Israel? It is clear that ISRAEL IS GOD’S SIGN to the world and His timepiece.

If these Tetrads are signs that speak, what is this present one saying? In the Bible two witnesses were required to confirm or seal a contract, I believe the two years of blood moons that form the Tetrad are TWO WITNESSES God is giving the world that we have shifted into the Last days as they will not occur again for over a hundred years.

ASCENT TO JERUSALEM!

When David was rejected and the kingdom was stolen from him, he sent the Ark back to Jerusalem with Zadok the priest. David believed that he would return if God was pleased with Him. This is a picture of Jesus who was rejected and is re-establishing the Ark of His Presence in Jerusalem in preparation for His Return at the Word of the Father! I believe The Tetrad of 2014-2015 is a sign that THE JOURNEY OF THE ARK CONTINUES UP TO JERUSALEM TO BE RE-ESTABLISHED AS THE CENTRE OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, IN PREPARATION OF THE KINGS RETURN.

ALL PATHS MUST ALIGN WITH GOD IN THE PROCESSION TO SEE THE KING SEATED IN GLORY IN JERUSALEM! Are you with Him in this procession, on the same Journey? Union will take place when we fix our eyes on God and align ourselves in unity with Him! We will go where He is going, which is Jerusalem, Israel! Jerusalem can never be moved and any who attempt to relocate her will be hurt, as promised in God’s Word!

“On that day, when all the nations of the earth are gathered against her, I will make Jerusalem an immovable rock for all the nations. All who try to move it will injure themselves.” Zechariah 12:3

When the Conductor lifts His hands all eyes will be on Him! When Christ the King is lifted up all knees must bow to the King of all kings and the LORD of all lords in obedience to His will and His Words! All idols must fall away as idolatry is not tolerated in the Kingdom of God. God is drawing a line and in the days to come it will become clearly evident those who submit to God and those who serve other gods!

“So they feared the LORD, and from every class they appointed for themselves priests of the high places, who sacrificed for them in the shrines of the high places. They feared the LORD, yet served their own gods—according to the rituals of the nations from among whom they were carried away.” 2Kings 17:33

The deception of the last days will be exceptionally brilliant in its ingenuity and demonic anointing. In the last days our only protection is to be found in knowing, understanding and standing on the Word of God with humility, fear & trembling, not of man or circumstance, but of God, “But on this one will I look: On him who is poor and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at My word,” (Is. 66:2).

Theodor Herzl once dreamed of a Jewish state restored after 2000 years of exile and his dream was granted. Likewise the people of the King must now dream the dreams of God for the Kingdom of God to be established in Jerusalem, and begin to travail for the Return of the King! Jesus has positioned Himself in JERUSALEM are you headed for Christian city or for THE CITY OF GOD!

“Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel FOREVER.”

Blessings in Christ!

THE PRESENCE, THE JOURNEY, THE DOOR & THE BLOOD MOONS

THE ARK OF THE COVENANT SIGNIFIES THE PROMISE OF GOD’S PRESENCE, a promise based on our agreement to follow hard after Him on a Journey of obedience! The Bible declares that all creation reveals the Glory of God! His attributes can be recognized by the sublime magnificence of His handiwork. When we make the deliberate choice to search for Him, we will find Him! His face becomes visible within the starry hosts of heaven and in the wind of the rustling leaves of majestic trees! However, God has also chosen to reveal himself in manifest ways throughout the history of Israel and in tangible form as the Son of Man.

The manifest presence of God chose to come down, to a chosen nation set apart for his purposes, to initiate the awe-inspiring Plan of Redemption, to recover mankind from their lost state and restore them back to the everlasting arms of love, “I have come down to deliver them…” (Ex. 3:8).

THE PRESENCE ‘CAME DOWN’ and lived amongst people—His very heart’s desire before the foundation of the world! The Plan of Redemption, centered in Israel, held the Key to salvation for every tribe and nation on earth. THE PRESENCE came down and initiated the beginning of His transcendent Plan, a plan that is revealed on a Divine Journey, and completed with His manifest PRESENCE ruling and a reigning over the earth from Jerusalem! God marked both the beginning and the end, and significant milestones of the journey, with three major Feasts times and celebration.

THE JOURNEY: PASSOVER TO TABERNACLES

The beginning was sealed with the Passover feast. This signified the crossing over of a people into His purposes, those set apart as a holy offering unto Him. God established the Feasts of the Lord as His Feast! The continual celebration of these Feasts prophetically declared to Israel and to the world, the key facets of His ultimate Plan of Redemption to build Himself a Home in man individually and corporately. The Passover feast prophesied the coming of Christ our Passover—the lamb slain for the salvation of the world. He was the sinless One and the Holy First Fruit of many, resurrected onto God. The Feast of Pentecost prophesied of the coming of the Holy Spirit—the BREATH and Life of God released into the Body of Christ. The completion of God’s Plan will be marked and sealed by the Feast of Tabernacles. This Feast represents:

The ingathering of the Great Harvest of souls at the end of the age
The COMPLETION OF THE GREAT JOURNEY characterized by the temporary dwellings places of the Journey, fulfilled at the completion of the Temple of God
The RETURN OF CHRIST
The Great Wedding Feast of the Lamb.

The Feasts of Passover & Tabernacles marks the beginning and the end of God’s Plan of Redemption. Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega, and we have all entered on this Journey from Passover to Tabernacles with Him as we grow on our ascent to Union with the Christ! This Journey is characterized by the Cross—we continually pass through a series of crosses as we are purified and prepared for the Holy One—Jesus said we are to pick up our cross daily! The Earth will also pass through the Cross at the Great tribulation to be purified and prepared for Him.

THE JOURNEY IS ULTIMATELY HIS JOURNEY! God came down and carried Israel through the crossing from Egypt into His purposes. He has been moving on this Journey through History purifying and gathering in His children along the way. At Salvation we enter into HIS JOURNEY; we then move out with Him to follow the Ark of THE PRESENCE!

CARRIERS OF THE PRESENCE

Those called to lead and carry the Ark of THE PRESENCE were required to be wholly consecrated unto Him and to carry the Ark in a prescribed way. David made the mistake of not complying with God’s demands resulting in a man’s death. David learned as we must also learn the protocol to be carriers of HIS PRESENCE, as He is a Holy God! IN THE PROCESS WE AQUIRE THE UNDERSTANDING THAT WE ARE TOUCHING THE PRESENCE OF THE LIVING GOD ALMIGHTY—THE GREAT I AM!

In His great mercy God gives many chances to get it right, although there is sometimes a cost! David made a second attempt, this time doing it God’s prescribed way. They sacrificed every six steps and “David danced before the Lord with all his might” up to Jerusalem—Jesus’ Home and seat of His Throne (2 Sam. 6:14). The Body of Christ is on such a journey with THE PRESENCE. On our individual and corporate journey we have made many steps and pauses where were given the opportunity to praise, worship and thank Him that He would even allows us to be on the Journey with Him!

COSTLY WINE

About eight years ago I had a dream that I believe is significant for this month. In the dream I was wearing a very long coat. I reached deep into my pocket and pulled out a bottle of wine. On the bottle was marked boldly the number 414. The bottle was already open and a small amount had spilled. My close friend and a pastor was in the room and we all looked at the spill. My friend then said that she was desperate to get this wine and went to make a call to see if she could find it. When she came back I asked her if she found it, she said she did but it was far too costly!

Years later I was working on a particular chapter in my book, In His Image! the chapter title was For Such a Time As This based on the book of Esther. When I checked the scripture reference I saw that it was Esther 4:14. I then understood the meaning of the costly Wine.

“For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance shall arise from the Jews from elsewhere, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who know but that you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this, and for this very occasion?” Esther 4:14

Esther could have lost her life but she counted the cost and made her decision, “If I perish, I perish.” The year I had the dream, Passover fell on April 14, revealing the very high cost that Jesus, our Passover paid on the Cross when His blood—the Costly Wine, was poured out for us!

THE BLOOD MOONS & THE PRESENCE

This year Passover falls on 14/4/14, in a very special year marked by a series of Blood Moons referred to as a Tetrad (see previous article—Shifting, Shaking & the Coming Blood Moons). The first moon will be seen the night of Passover which begins the evening of the 14th of the 4th month of 2014,. The number 4 represent the YEAR OF THE DOOR (see article –A Tsunami Wave of Answered Prayers). In the Hebrew alphabet the dalet is the 4th letter and means ‘door,’ and its numeric value is 4. I believe the Doors to significant breakthrough are opening in the 4th month of April. The Body of Christ is about to pass through a SPIRITUAL DOOR and a SHIFT into a season that God is marking with 4 Blood Moons!

We are being shifted into the season of the COSTLY WINE. God is about to pour out an abundance of NEW WINE, but it will be very costly! There is always a cost to following the Ark of THE PRESENCE as David came to understand; David quickly learned that the Ark had to carried in obedience to God’s Word, with humility, with reverence and with GREAT JOY. THE PRESENCE was to be carried by the priests—those who God set apart and consecrated for this purpose!

FOUR GOLDEN RINGS were to be crafted on either side of the Ark for the poles. It was to be lifted up and carried on the priests shoulders—not pulled on a cart. I believe the 4 Blood Moons falling on the Jewish feasts of Passover & Tabernacles over a two year period, is a sign that reflect the 4 GOLDEN RINGS used to LIFT UP the Ark, that mark the movements of THE PRESENCE on its JOURNEY from Passover to Tabernacles!

I was very resistant to sharing this revelation I believe God gave me, but after choosing to be obedient I divinely stumbled on this article as I was finishing this message.

“If you were standing on the moon during a total lunar eclipse you would see the Earth as a black disk with a brilliant orange ring around it,” said Alan MacRobert of Sky and Telescope magazine. “And this brilliant ring would be bright enough to dimly light up the lunar landscape.” (Hamilton Spectator- April 7th 2014)

The Tetrad of Blood Moons,that begin at the Passover Feast, reveals that THE PRESENCE is once again moving and about to make a major shift on its JOURNEY up to Jerusalem, on its way to the Feast of Tabernacles to complete God’s transcendent Plan of Redemption! The Ark of THE PRESENCE moves progressively, taking territory on its way to establish the Kingdom of God on Earth as it is in Heaven! God’s Presence is about to mark another milestone of THE JOURNEY of His-story as He moves to fulfill His purposes on Earth!

The procession of the King, up to the Seat of His Throne in Jerusalem is about to begin! This is fiercely contested by the power of darkness as they know their time is short! The Body of Christ must carefully watch the Ark of THE PRESENCE as we have not walked this way before (Josh. 3:4). We must set out from our present place or position, consecrate our hearts, be prepared to make sacrifices, ready to drink the COSTLY WINE He is about to pour out! In my dream the bottle of wine had been opened and some wine had spilled, and yes we have experienced a measure of the Costly Wine of HIS PRESENCE, however, God has saved the best for last! He is about to pour out this COSTLY LAST WINE in abundance to His People!

It is time to transition from the Jesus of Salvation, revealed in Passover, to the Jesus of Glory revealed in Tabernacles—from being saved to being SEATED ON THE THRONE!

“But when it pleased God…to reveal His Son in me…” Galatians 1:15-16

“But truly I am full of power by the Spirit of the LORD, And of justice and might…” Micah 3:8

Only a revelation of THE CHRIST in Glory will bend the knee and cause all to fall prostrate before the Majesty of the King of kings! The majesty of the Glory of Christ revealed in us will overwhelm and consume all that hinders, and all obstacles on our path as we shout, “Grace, Grace!”

As the Blood Moon makes its appearance in the early morning of the 15th, this would be a good time for shofars to sound throughout the Earth! The Lord of all the Earth is setting out and releasing the Armies of God to go forth with Him in Power and in strength of His Might to complete His purposes on Earth! The Kingdom of Heaven is coming down!

“BEHOLD, THE ARK OF THE COVENANT OF THE LORD OF ALL THE EARTH IS CROSSING OVER BEFORE YOU…” Joshua 3:11

SHIFTING, SHAKING & THE COMING BLOOD MOONS

We are now living in a time of great uncertainty in the earth. When the walls first came down in communist countries in the late 1980’s, the entire world was talking about peace, but peace has become an elusive thing as the mystery of iniquity revealed and exposed through the darkness of evil, insidiously grows on the earth!

Many volatile and unstable nations now have nuclear power; while others like Iran & North Korea, empowered by the kingdom of darkness, work feverishly toward acquiring it in their quest for power. They blatantly threaten Israel and the world with annihilation, the demonic goal—to ultimately prevent the return of Christ.

Religious wars continue to rage in the Middle East, as great unrest ominously hovers over the region. Turkey is once again rising up with aspirations to establish itself as an Islamic Caliphate in the former image of imperial glory. Ethnic and religious wars and skirmishes sporadically break out over the Globe, all sowing the seeds of malevolent hatred that is compelling the world toward the great battles of the last days and fulfilling the prophetic words of Scripture:

“You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains…Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come… For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened.” Matthew 24:1-22

We have seen the markets crash in recent years and they are presently very unstable in many nations of the world. The environment suffers under the hands of mankind and the supply of water to sustain the growing populations of nations is diminishing. Certain species of fish and animals are mysteriously disappearing and animals and mammals act in bizarre and inexplicable ways. The stability of our climate has become a major concern as change in climate patterns disrupt the farming and food supply, and natural disasters destroy crops in many nations.

The most violent in the history of hurricanes, floods, tidal waves, tornadoes, fires, and earthquakes are continuously shaking and battering the earth taking with them thousands of lives each year. New and old diseases are on the rise and strange and mysterious signs and sounds are being recorded in the heavens above and on the earth below.

“And there will be strange signs in the sun, moon, and stars. And here on earth the nations will be in turmoil, perplexed by the roaring seas and strange tides. Luke 21:25 NLT

God has placed signs in the Heavens to mark His appointed times within the context of the completion of His plan of Redemption and the restoration of all things! These are times when shifts occur in the spiritual realm that impact and change the course of world history.

“God said, ‘Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years.’” Genesis 1:14

Blood Moons

One such sign, or series of signs, is the Tetrad of blood moons that will fall on Jewish Feast days in 2014 and 2015. A Blood moon is a total lunar eclipse in which the moon has a reddish glow—a term used in Scripture, and a Tetrad is the term used by NASA for a series of four such moons in a row, over a two year period. A Tetrad has been a fairly rare occurrence during the centuries since the coming of the Christ. However, even rarer still, during this time, seven Tetrads have occurred with the moons falling successively on the Jewish Feasts days of Passover & Tabernacles in both years. The Tetrad of 2014 and 2015 will make this the eighth—a number that signifies a new beginning!

The last three Tetrads have marked very significant events in relation to Israel’s history: the first of the three occurred in 1493 and 1494 immediately after the expulsion from Spain of all Jewish people who refused to convert to Catholicism, and the subsequent torture of those who did. This expulsion divinely coincided with the discovery of a New World, one that would become a refuge to the Jews and the persecuted saints.

The next Tetrad occurred in 1949 and 1950 immediately after the rebirth of Israel as a Jewish state and the subsequent war of Independence, prophesied in Scripture and ordained by God. The last occasion that a Tetrad occurred was in 1967 and 1968 when Israel reclaimed Jerusalem, the Holy City of the King, after the miraculous Six Day War! These events were all marked by turmoil and wars that shifted and shaped history in dramatic ways!

I believe that through these signs in the Heavens God is making a Statement to the world and to Israel that He is seated on His Throne as Sovereign over nations, and all the affairs of mankind—that He alone has the final Word as the One who determines the course of World History! These signs are a declaration that His Word stands firm forever and cannot be broken—His Word will accomplish all that He has spoken, and no force in heaven or on earth can stop it!

I once had a vision of an armored tank moving slowly across the sands of time. On its side was written boldly THE WORD OF GOD. When voices were raised in opposition to His Word, and the enemies of God attempted to change His appointed times, the Tank continued to roll, crushing all opposition in its path.

When angry voices railed against Israel and God’s destiny for the Jewish people to return to the land and for the rebirth of Israel as a nation, and many were in unbelief that Israel would or could ever be a nation again after two thousand years of dispersion…the Tank continued progressing on its path, driving over all opposition to THE WORD OF GOD! Israel did become a nation again just as prophesied in the Bible and God marked the event with four blood moons! Israel did regain control over Jerusalem, the City Jesus will return to, and God marked that event with four blood moons!

What will the blood moons of 2014 and 2015 signify—we do not yet know, but I believe they will mark something of consequence of which God wants the world to take note of, as the nation of Israel will be able to see only the fourth moon of the Tetrad.

“The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD. And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance…” Joel 2:32

The fourth moon that falls on September 28th on the Feast of Tabernacles is also a Super moon and will be seen by Israel. A super moon is one that appears larger because its orbit is much closer to the Earth. It is predicted that this will be the last Tetrad of blood moons to fall on Jewish feast days for over a hundred years.

Does this mean that the Tetrad of 2014 and 2015 is the sign that will initiate the start of the Day of the LORD—the Great Tribulation of Matthew 24:21 as some have said? It is possible, and I do believe we are very close, but the blood moon of Acts 2:20 and Revelation 6:12, are not necessarily in reference to a Tetrad of four moons correlating to the Jewish Feasts, they could also be isolated blood moons of which there will be others to come.

However, I do believe that the Tetrad of 2014 and 2015 and the fact that there will not be another for over a hundred years signifies that God is about to mark an appointed time that will significantly shift the course of history! This could very well be the last major shift that begins the countdown to the Day of the LORD!

This turn in our course will begin a turbulent period of history during which God’s plans and purposes will be summed up and completed—culminating with the Return of Jesus! I believe the impact of events that cause the shift will awaken the Church, thrusting it out of a place of complacency into the Harvest fields.

The Church will begin to move out to work in the harvest fields with the angels who minister salvation. It will begin to fulfill its mandate to disciple nations and peoples, and begin to work towards the release a great harvest of souls that will be gathered into the House of God at the end of the age, during a great time of tribulation, “…the harvest is the end of the age” (See Matt. 13:24-43 and Heb. 1:14, Acts 8:4. 11:19).

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:18-20

The years ahead promises to be very turbulent, volatile and sometimes catastrophic as the shaking prophesied in the Word of God erupts all over the Globe through the weather, the economy and mysterious events!

“See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our “God is a consuming fire.” Hebrews 12:25-29

Today, governments of nations covering the Globe are searching desperately for answers to the extraordinary problems the world presently faces, while peoples of all tribes and cultures are seeking answers to the deep questions of life and the purpose of our existence on this tiny planet we call Earth!

Believe in Jesus! He is the only answer that God has given us! He is the only One that can calm the storms and bring peace and truth into our lives. He is the only Savior that can protect you and your family and navigate you through the dark times ahead for the earth! If ever there was an opportune time to reach out to Him, this is that time, this is that day!

Abundant Blessings
