Three Visions for the Little Rock/Fort Smith, Arkansas Areas

 

Vision One:

 

The Frogs   -05-25-09

 

After Michael Russo had picked me up from the airport in Little Rock, and as we were driving away from Little Rock, I saw an area where there was a large concentration of many frogs or toads in the Spirit in that area. The enemy had amassed a powerful stronghold there. Frogs represent unclean, lying, deceptive spirits. Strongholds of deception, error, and uncleanness had defiled the heartland areas, but the Lord has come to cleanse and to transform the areas.

 

Revelations 16:

13Then I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs; they came out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet. 14They are spirits of demons performing miraculous signs, and they go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them for the battle on the great day of God Almighty.

 

1 Kings 22: AMP

21Then there came forth a spirit [of whom I am about to tell] and stood before the Lord and said, I will entice him. 22The Lord said to him, By what means? And he said, I will go forth and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets. [The Lord] said, You shall entice him and succeed also. Go forth and do it. 23So the Lord has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets; and the Lord has spoken evil concerning you.

 

2 Chronicles 18:21 AMP

And he said, I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets. And the Lord said, You shall entice him and also succeed. Go forth and do so. Now, you see, the Lord put a lying spirit in the mouths of your prophets; and the Lord has spoken evil concerning you.

 

The Lord is going to bring forth His Light and Truth to the hearts to bring forth true revelation that will bring forth an awakening and a repositioning, which will cause the Body to rise up, to stand new, and to have hearts that will be able to see and hear Him again.

 

Romans 9:1 AMP

I AM speaking the truth in Christ. I am not lying; my conscience [enlightened and prompted] by the Holy Spirit bearing witness with me.

Vision Two:

 

The Flag Pole and the Snake -05-25-09

 

As we were driving from Little Rock to Ft. Smith, I saw a flag pole in the Spirit, and the people below were trying to place a white flag on the flag pole, but there was a very huge snake that was coiled up the entire length of the flag pole and it would not let them. It was trying to attack the people when they came near. I knew the flag pole represented the Liberty Pole.

 

Through this vision, the Lord was showing that through fear and control, the enemy had prevented the area from taking their place in His Plans for their Victory and from walking in their God Ordained Liberty. Fear had allowed to rebellion to keep them empowering the snake or the principality that ruled their area. God was now revealing the root so they could now become the Glorious Shoot that would life the new Standard of Truth and Freedom once again..

 

Isaiah 30:

1This is the LORD's message for his rebellious people:  "You follow your own plans instead of mine; you make treaties without asking me, and you keep on sinning.  2You trust Egypt for protection. So you refuse my advice and send messengers to Egypt to beg their king for help. 3You will be disappointed, completely disgraced for trusting Egypt. 4The king's power reaches from the city of Zoan as far south as Hanes. 5But Egypt can't protect you, and to trust that nation is useless and foolish." 6This is a message about the animals of the Southern Desert: You people carry treasures on donkeys and camels. You travel to a feeble nation through a troublesome desert filled with lions and flying fiery dragons. 7Egypt can't help you! That's why I call that nation a helpless monster."

8The LORD told me to write down his message for his people, so that it would be there forever. 9They have turned against the LORD and can't be trusted. They have refused his teaching 10and have said to his messengers and prophets: Don't tell us what God has shown you and don't preach the truth. Just say what we want to hear, even if it's false. 11Stop telling us what God has said! We don't want to hear any more about the holy God of Israel. 12Now this is the answer of the holy God of Israel: "You rejected my message, and you trust in violence and lies. 13This sin is like a crack that makes a high wall quickly crumble 14and shatter like a crushed bowl. There's not a piece left big enough to carry hot coals or to dip out water." 15The holy LORD God of Israel had told all of you, "I will keep you safe if you turn back to me and calm down. I will make you strong if you quietly trust me." Then you stubbornly 16said, "No! We will safely escape on speedy horses." But those who chase you will be even faster. 17As few as five of them, or even one, will be enough to chase a thousand of you. Finally, all that will be left will be a few survivors as lonely as a flag pole on a barren hill. 18The LORD God is waiting to show how kind he is and to have pity on you. The LORD always does right; he blesses those who trust him. 19People of Jerusalem, you don't need to cry anymore. The Lord is kind, and as soon as he hears your cries for help, he will come. 20The Lord has given you trouble and sorrow as your food and drink. But now you will again see the Lord, your teacher, and he will guide you. 21Whether you turn to the right or to the left, you will hear a voice saying, "This is the road! Now follow it." 22Then you will treat your idols of silver and gold like garbage; you will throw them away like filthy rags.  23The Lord will send rain to water the seeds you have planted--your fields will produce more crops than you need, and your cattle will graze in open pastures. 24Even the oxen and donkeys that plow your fields will be fed the finest grain. 25On that day people will be slaughtered and towers destroyed, but streams of water will flow from high hills and towering mountains. 26Then the LORD will bandage his people's injuries and heal the wounds he has caused. The moon will shine as bright as the sun, and the sun will shine seven times brighter than usual. It will be like the light of seven days all at once.

Vision Three:

 

The Hammer and the Anvil -05-25-09

 

As Michael Russo and his family had came to pick me up at the hotel where I was staying to go to dinner, I had just walked outside to go with them, and I saw up in the sky above their area, a huge anvil and a hammer in the Spirit that was going to strike it. I knew that it had already been striking it and it was about to do so again.

 

The Lord was showing the Spiritual work and process that they had been in for a season. He was hammering them out, in order to recreate a Glorious Workmanship, but also to bring them into full completion. It is time for them to now emerge, and for what the Lord had been fashioning to also be seen.

 

Isaiah 41:  ESV

1 Listen to me in silence, O coastlands; let the peoples renew their strength; let them approach, then let them speak; let us together draw near for judgment. 2 Who stirred up one from the east whom victory meets at every step? He gives up nations before him, so that he tramples kings underfoot; he makes them like dust with his sword, like driven stubble with his bow. 3He pursues them and passes on safely, by paths his feet have not trod. 4 Who has performed and done this, calling the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he. 5 The coastlands have seen and are afraid; the ends of the earth tremble; they have drawn near and come. 6Everyone helps his neighbor and says to his brother, "Be strong!" 7 The craftsman strengthens the goldsmith, and he who smoothes with the hammer him who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering, "It is good"; and they strengthen it with nails so that it cannot be moved. 8But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham, my friend; 9you whom I took from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest corners, saying to you, "You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you off"; 10fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 11 Behold, all who are incensed against you shall be put to shame and confounded; those who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish. 12 You shall seek those who contend with you, but you shall not find them; those who war against you shall be as nothing at all. 13For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, "Fear not, I am the one who helps you." 14Fear not, you worm Jacob, you men of Israel! I am the one who helps you, declares the LORD; your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. 15 Behold, I make of you a threshing sledge, new, sharp, and having teeth; you shall thresh the mountains and crush them, and you shall make the hills like chaff; 16 you shall winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away, and the tempest shall scatter them. And you shall rejoice in the LORD; in the Holy One of Israel you shall glory. 17 When the poor and needy seek water, and there is none, and their tongue is parched with thirst, I the LORD will answer them; I the God of Israel will not forsake them. 18 I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

19 I will put in the wilderness the cedar, the acacia, the myrtle, and the olive. I will set in the desert the cypress, the plane and the pine together, 20that they may see and know, may consider and understand together, that the hand of the LORD has done this, the Holy One of Israel has created it.

 

Recap of the Amplified Version:

 

Isaiah 41:7 AMP

So the carpenter encourages the goldsmith, and he who smoothes [the metal] with the hammer [encourages] him who smites the anvil, saying of the soldering, That is good! And he fastens it with nails so that it cannot be moved.

 

**God is bringing about a Divine Work amongst the true laborers here that will increasingly solidify and serve to bring into the emergence of the Body a true spiritual joining and maturity. Each part will supply what the other part needs to stand firmly together in what God is doing, and see their corporate  strengthening and visible demonstration of God in their midst. It is time for the True Light of God to radiate through the True People of God and for that Light to release the Living Waters for the healing and transformation of entire areas for the Kingdom of Christ.

 

“Fort Smith”: The “forged smith”:

God had to forge the smith, before the smith could forge the metals God would give to it properly, otherwise we would fashion corrupted works….. Remember the scripture text from last night-

 

Is 41:4-10

4 Who has performed and done this, calling the generations from the beginning? I, the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he. 5 The coastlands have seen and are afraid; the ends of the earth tremble; they have drawn near and come. 6Everyone helps his neighbor and says to his brother, "Be strong!" 7 The craftsman strengthens the goldsmith, and he who smoothes with the hammer him who strikes the anvil, saying of the soldering, "It is good"; and they strengthen it with nails so that it cannot be moved. 8But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham, my friend; 9you whom I took from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest corners, saying to you, "You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you off"; 10fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

 

A workmanship in the making fashioned for His undertaking!

 

Susan went back to her motel room and after talking on the phone for a few minutes, she sat down at her laptop to work on her message for tonight. She looked at the clock and the lap top said 12:34 am. Two times now she has seen the time 12:34. God is quickly shifting and is accelerating what He has now begun. 1-2-3-4….

 

*******************************************************************

 

5-27-09

 

Share the two visions Susan had during the worship on Tuesday night… 5-26-09:

 

1. The Harvest Field Vision   “It is the Maturity of Time”

 

In the vision, Susan saw a vast wheat field spread out before her. The wind was blowing across the field, and the wheat was gently blowing in the wind. Then I saw Jesus being lifted up and He began to dance on the tops of the heads of wheat. The scene then zoomed in closer.

 

I saw an area where the local harvesters had been clearing a section of the field. In that clearing were various stages of harvesting going on. I saw bundles of wheat laying in piles to be bundled. I saw other piles of wheat already tied up and stacked for transport. I also saw wheat that was gathered but not yet piled up or tied. Other wheat was just being brought over to the clearing to be sorted.

 

The Lord Jesus then walked up and blows on the piles of wheat. Instead of individual pile of wheat, now they become individual streams of flowing water. He then reaches down and grasps the individual streams of water in His hand, and pulls them upwards- kind of like a bunch of cords or wires in his hand- and he slowly raises them upwards to His chest. When the streams of waters in His hand touched His chest, lightning struck the streams of water, and they all began to resonate with His heartbeat. They became alive.

 

The Lord then said to me as I watched, “My Streams will now begin to come together by My Hand. I will infuse My Life, My Breath, and My Heart into them, and they will begin to beat as one, to resonate My Heartbeat as one beat. I will have one heartbeat in My House again, and the land will come to know Me as they hear My Heartbeat.”

 

“I will start in the heart of the land, and reveal My Hand among man. It is time to reveal My Grand Design as a sign of the time. ‘It is the Maturity of Time.’ I am coming as the Lord of the Harvest and to bring all things to fulfillment concerning you. It is time.”

 

Matthew 13:36-43  -AMP

36Then He left the throngs and went into the house. And His disciples came to Him saying, Explain to us the parable of the darnel (tares) in the field. 37He answered, He Who sows the good seed is the Son of Man. 38The field is the world, and the good seed means the children of the kingdom; the darnel (tares) is the children of the evil one, 39And the enemy who sowed it is the devil. The harvest is the close and consummation of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40Just as the darnel (Tares or weeds resembling wheat) is gathered and burned with fire, so it will be at the close of the age. 41The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all causes of offense [persons by whom others are drawn into error or sin] and all who do iniquity and act wickedly, 42And will cast them into the furnace of fire; there will be weeping and wailing and grinding of teeth. 43Then will the righteous (those who are upright and in right standing with God) shine forth like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let him who has ears [to hear] be listening, and let him consider and perceive and understand by hearing.

 

The Wheat and Tares have matured and the Father is now separating and removing some and sending out others.

 

The Living Waters are now beginning to break forth from within, and are increasingly flowing outwards around us.

 

John 7:38

Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’

 

1 John 4:12 AMP  -“It is the Maturity of Time”

No man has at any time [yet] seen God. But if we love one another, God abides (lives and remains) in us and His love (that love which is essentially His) is brought to completion (to its full maturity, runs its full course, is perfected) in us!

 

*******************************************************************

 

2. The Glory Cloud Vision     “All is in Readiness”

 

During the worship time in Fort Smith, Arkansas, I saw a vision of the Glory Cloud in the room. We were all walking within the Glory Cloud. The air was thick with incense and smoke. I could see angels also walking back and forth within the Cloud amongst us. They had fiery blue eyes that blazed and penetrated you when they looked at you. I saw that we were walking amongst them but were not with them. So I reached out and took the angel’s hand. Others began to do this too. We started walking in the midst of the Glory Cloud, hand in hand with the angels. The harmony of the Lord filled us as the incense rose up to the Throne. Then the Father looked down and nodded. We were then sent out, two by two- One person hand in hand with an angel- and we walked out of the Glory Cloud to work with the angel we were with on the Father’s assignments. The Presence of the Lord went with us as we walked. The Father then said, All is in Readiness.”

 

The matured sons and daughters are now learning to work with Heaven, to finish their God ordained scrolls or life assignments, and are learning to work with angels that are sent to help them to complete their assignments.

 

Matthew 13:11a  -TM  “All is in Readiness”:

He replied, "You've been given insight into God's kingdom. You know how it works. Not everybody has this gift, this insight; it hasn't been given to them. Whenever someone has a ready heart for this, the insights and understandings flow freely. But if there is no readiness, any trace of receptivity soon disappears. That's why I tell stories: to create readiness, to nudge the people toward receptive insight.

 

*******************************************************************

 

 

 

3. The Open Door Vision.

 

I saw in the vision during the meeting, and open door. The door was about 12 feet in height. It was open and full of radiant light.

Arkansas: Ark-inwardly-Saw : “Seeing with the eyes of the Heart the Ark”

 

The Father said that he is opening the eyes of the Heart in Arkansas. In the heart of the nation, He has initiated an awakening and a hunger for His Presence, and it will be an invitation to all who hunger and thirst to now enter in deeper into Him.

 

The Father has planned that the Heart of the Land also becomes the Heartbeat that will beat in a new way in His Hand. What He brings forth here, will spread throughout the Land, till the entire Body beats with His heartbeat.

 

Job 19:27  NAS

I myself will see him with my own eyes—I, and not another. How my heart yearns within me!

 

Ezekiel 40:3-5  

3When he brought me there, behold, there was a man whose appearance was like bronze, with a linen cord and a measuring reed in his hand. And he was standing in the gateway. 4And the man said to me, "Son of man, look with your eyes, and hear with your ears, and set your heart upon all that I shall show you, for you were brought here in order that I might show it to you. Declare all that you see to the house of Israel."

 

*******************************************************************

 

Prophetic Word given to Fort Smith/Little Rock areas: 5-27-09

 

For a time, I allowed you to look at yourself- at your weakness, at your sin, at your inabilities, and also at your need for Me. But, My Children, it is now My desire that you begin to set your eyes upon Me. I want you to see what I see. I want you to know those things that are still yet to be. I want you to walk in your victory, for I have delivered you and I have set you free. It is time to walk new with Me, for I am calling thee.

 

In this Transition that I have begun- you have just begun to grasp the upcoming changes and some of the events that must come. But that is still only the perimeters that are just aligning into their places. My Hand is working in every place, calling Mine to seek My Face. It is time to prepare for the Greater Race, for it even fans now. It comes with My Winds, prepare yourself, for it’s you that I am about to send.

 

I am casting My new Harvesters forth now, to walk among men. Look to My Face, and listen to My Voice upon the Winds. Prepare for change and take My Hand, for you are stepping out your paths in the lands. I will reveal to you every aspect of My next commands, as you draw even closer and tighter, within My Plan.

 

Within My Pages you will understand that which is yet to come and events yet to be understood in the lands. Your course is set, and within My Time-frame, you will expand. Come deeper, come closer, come further into Me, so that you can clearly hear and clearly see. See that it is I, and know that I have come to walk it out with thee. I will finish every remaining mystery and you shall surely establish your parts within the final pages of History. For My Hand is at work in the land. Even now, look- for it will greatly expand.

 

Even so, remain fixed upon Me, for all things will come, by My Revealing, and by My Sealing- but few will come when the Heavens begin reeling. So stand firm, and seek My Treasures from above, for to you it is given to release My Love. I am restoring Life, Strength, and Liberty to My Precious Dove- My People- who are now to ascend higher among men. You will rise even higher as a light and as a beacon that will draw them to My Love.

 

Know that it is Now- It shall begin. And never will these times be seen as they are again. For I am greatly sweeping all things through, and I am harvesting all that I am called to, and you are passing through. You are to understand these things, and even the things that I will yet do, for I have prepared you.

The Clear Tubes Vision- Notes and Teaching

On May 18th, while flying on the plane between Orlando, Fl and Washington, DC, Susan was resting and suddenly she saw a scene in a vision.

In the scene, she saw in front of her these clear glass type tubes appear. They were supernatural tubes and the first one she saw was going up vertically. There was an opening in the bottom in which you stepped into it like an elevator. At the base were two angels in attendance, one standing on each side of the tube.

Within the clear tube was a huge orange ball of light that was spinning. Inside the orange ball of light were 2 seats and Susan saw that we were to enter in and sit into the ball of light and it would go upwards into the heavenlies. Susan knew instantly that these orange vehicles went up and down from earth to the heavens and back, much like Jacob’s ladder did, and humans traveled in them, as the Lord bade them to.

The angels in attendance each had an orange ball of light much like the one that was in the tube, and it was swirling within their chests. As we approached the tube to enter, we showed our right hand and shining within our right hands was a matching little ball of swirling orange light. This was activated as we approached, and then we were allowed to go into the tubes.

Then the scene changed to a similar one, but this time, the clear tubes were horizontal instead of the previous vertical ones. These clear tubes had green balls of swirling light vehicles within them, and they also had two angels in attendance to the openings to these tubes. Each angel also had a swirling green ball of light emanating within their chests, and the passengers who approached to ride them also had a small green ball of light emanating and swirling in their right hands.

Susan knew that these tubes that went horizontally were to travel in translation across the earth to various locations that the Lord had determined the people to travel to.

Then the scene changed to another similar one. This time the clear tubes went horizontal, but not in a directional sense for travel to a certain place. These tubes had swirling blue balls of light that were spiritual vehicles within them. With these tubes two more angels attended them, each with the same swirling blue balls of light emanating within their chests like the previous scenes.

The people who approached these tubes had the same small blue swirling ball of light emanating in their right hands. Each swirling ball still had two seats within them, as spiritual vehicles just as before. Susan knew that these tubes went forwards or backwards in time. They also went from the eternal realm to natural time as the Lord willed the people to move on assignment for His purposes.

The final scene was of the same clear tubes, but this time, within the tube there was a swirling rainbow colored ball of light emanating within. At the entrance were the two angels, each with corresponding swirling rainbow colored balls of light emanating within their chests. The 2 passengers also have the same small swirling rainbow colored lights emanating in their right hands.

As they approached the lights were activated and the angels let them enter into the rainbow colored spiritual vehicle and as they did, inside of the balls were not seats this time, but there were garments hanging within the vehicle. The two people put the rainbow colored suits on, and as they did, I saw that they were kind of like space suits, or form fitting suits, that covered them completely from head to toe.

Susan knew that when they were clothed with these heavenly suits of light, the people would walk in both realms, the eternal realm while living on the earth, with absolute ease of movement and of function, and they could interact with both sides for extended periods of time.

The Lord then said to me, “The Perimeters are now in place as you can see. You have been given your pass. This is called the High and Holy Way, and many of God’s People will begin to now increasingly move by the Spirit, for the Father has now brought you into the Fullness of His Timing and the Perimeters of His next Phase of Operations for the Body of Christ. It is time to now accelerate and to begin to expand and to be transported on assignments. For the Father is moving quickly in the Heavens and in the Earth, to finish the Cycles that have already brought about the birth, but which will now also allow for the maturity of the Hour, and the expansion and function of the Children of Light.”

The vision occurred around 5:45 to 5:50 pm.

The High and Holy Way: Scriptures for study
 
Isaiah 35:8  TM
8There will be a highway called the Holy Road. No one rude or rebellious is permitted on this road. It's for God's people exclusively— impossible to get lost on this road. Not even fools can get lost on it. No lions on this road, no dangerous wild animals—Nothing and no one dangerous or threatening. Only the redeemed will walk on it. The people God has ransomed will come back on this road. They'll sing as they make their way home to Zion, unfading halos of joy encircling their heads, Welcomed home with gifts of joy and gladness as all sorrows and sighs scurry into the night.

Isaiah 35:8 AMP
8And a highway shall be there, and a way; and it shall be called the Holy Way. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for the redeemed; the wayfaring men, yes, the simple ones and fools, shall not err in it and lose their way.

The Clear Tubes Vision: (Broken down for us all to study further)

On May 18th, while flying on the plane between Orlando, Fl and Washington, DC, Susan was resting and suddenly she saw a scene in a vision.
 
In the scene, she saw in front of her these clear glass type tubes appear. They were supernatural tubes and the first one she saw was going up vertically. There was an opening in the bottom in which you stepped into it like an elevator. At the base were two angels in attendance, one standing on each side of the tube.

Susan knew instantly that these orange vehicles went up and down from earth to the heavens and back, much like Jacob’s ladder did, and humans traveled in them, as the Lord bade them to.

As we approached the tube to enter, we showed our right hand and shining within our right hands was a matching little ball of swirling orange light. This was activated as we approached, and then we were allowed to go into the tubes.
 
Luke 24:
13That very day two of them were going to a village named Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem, 14and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened. 15While they were talking and discussing together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing him. 17And he said to them, "What is this conversation that you are holding with each other as you walk?" And they stood still, looking sad. 18Then one of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days?" 19And he said to them, "What things?" And they said to him, "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20and how our chief priests and rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21But we had hoped that he was the one to redeem Israel. Yes, and besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened. 22Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning, 23and when they did not find his body, they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. 24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see." 25And he said to them, "O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?" 27And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.   ( –Unbelief rooted in their souls and hearts, preventing them from understanding….)
 
Stage 1:

We are learning to move in the Spirit as God has been revealing His Reality to us. We are beginning to walk with God and to have experiences with heaven, with angels, and many supernatural things are starting to happen to us and around us as we walk with the Lord.

Then the scene changed to a similar one, but this time, the clear tubes were horizontal instead of the previous vertical ones. These clear tubes had green balls of swirling light vehicles within them, and they also had two angels in attendance to the openings to these tubes.

Susan knew that these tubes that went horizontally were to travel in translation across the earth to various locations that the Lord had determined the people to travel to.
 

Luke 24:
28So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He acted as if he were going farther, 29but they urged him strongly, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent." So he went in to stay with them. 30When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and gave it to them. 31 And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their sight. 32They said to each other, "Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he opened to us the Scriptures?" 33And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together, 34saying, "The Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!" 35Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.  (-eyes opened now: burning understanding came, and faith entered and they now believe-able to conceive the truth…and perceive it, and proclaim it, and live it in reality.)
 

Stage 2:

The wisdom of God coming into us and the reality of these spiritual experiences brings us further into maturity, and the reality of our beginning to be working with angels to do God’s bidding, we are given burning, ignited, God breathed understanding, and we also begin to move out on assignments with God.
 

*******************

Then the scene changed to another similar one. This time the clear tubes went horizontal, but not in a directional sense for travel to a certain place. These tubes had swirling blue balls of light that were spiritual vehicles within them. With these tubes two more angels attended them, each with the same swirling blue balls of light emanating within their chests like the previous scenes.
 
The people who approached these tubes had the same small blue swirling ball of light emanating in their right hands. Each swirling ball still had two seats within them, as spiritual vehicles just as before. Susan knew that these tubes went forwards or backwards in time. They also went from the eternal realm to natural time as the Lord willed the people to move on assignment for His purposes.
 
Luke 24:
36As they were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, "Peace to you!" 37But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit. 38And he said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have." 40And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?" 42They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43and he took it and ate before them. 44Then he said to them, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled." 45Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 46and said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

 Stage 3:

We are moving in the burning understanding- the Spirit of Truth ignited within our souls- and are now moving more fully in the Spirit of Revelation, as Jesus fully reveals Himself to us we break free of the last remains of fear and doubt, and we enter into a full breakthrough, and we are now being more fully taught regarding the past, the present, and even the future events yet to be fulfilled, things Jesus could not give us understanding on before- and we are able to begin to bring the whole Body with us forwards to walk it out corporately in the earth.

*******************

The final scene was of the same clear tubes, but this time, within the tube there was a swirling rainbow colored ball of light emanating within. At the entrance were the two angels, each with corresponding swirling rainbow colored balls of light emanating within their chests. The 2 passengers also have the same small swirling rainbow colored lights emanating in their right hands.
 
As they approached the lights were activated and the angels let them enter into the rainbow colored spiritual vehicle and as they did, inside of the balls were not seats this time, but there were garments hanging within the vehicle. The two people put the rainbow colored suits on, and as they did, I saw that they were kind of like space suits, or form fitting suits, that covered them completely from head to toe.
 
Susan knew that when they were clothed with these heavenly suits of light, the people would walk in both realms, the eternal realm while living on the earth, with absolute ease of movement and of function, and they could interact with both sides for extended periods of time.
 
Luke 24:
46and said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer and on the third day rise from the dead, 47and that repentance and forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. 48 You are witnesses of these things. 49And behold, I am sending the promise of my Father upon you. But stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."  50Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them. 51While he blessed them he parted from them and was carried up into heaven. 52And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53and were continually in the temple blessing God.
 
Stage 4:

We are now being more fully clothed in the Divine Power/Fire that enables us to walk in the Reality of both worlds and to walk with God as He had originally intended man to walk with Him, while on the earth. The Spirit of Life radiated throughout their souls in the Spirit of Wisdom. The Manifested Sons and Daughters of God. The Holy Ghost manifesting the Spirit of Life through them to reveal the Love of God and the Reality of God to all.
 

1 Corinthians 12:4 AMP  -Now there are distinctive varieties and distributions of endowments (gifts, extraordinary powers distinguishing certain Christians, due to the power of divine grace operating in their souls by the Holy Spirit) and they vary, but the [Holy] Spirit remains the same.
 

**See a similar word entitled: The Vision of the Rain of Fire- this is also a picture of those who will move in stage 4…

*******************
 
The Lord then said to me, “The Perimeters are now in place as you can see. You have been given your pass. This is called the High and Holy Way, and many of God’s People will begin to now increasingly move by the Spirit, for the Father has now brought you into the Fullness of His Timing and the Perimeters of His next Phase of Operations for the Body of Christ. It is time to now accelerate and to begin to expand and to be transported on assignments. For the Father is moving quickly in the Heavens and in the Earth, to finish the Cycles that have already brought about the birth, but which will now also allow for the maturity of the Hour, and the expansion and function of the Children of Light.”

*******************
 

Understanding given on the Children of Light: the 11:11 Mystery being unfolded:

 

11:11 =  Natural man passing into the Heavenly man= functioning now as God intended. 

              The mature sons and daughters of God now beginning to come forth.

 
 

11 =  Natural man                                 (Current condition of carnal worldly church/Christians)

: = You have been given your pass      (Your right to operate in both realms)

11 =  Heavenly man                              (Newly emerging spiritual children of God/Light)

 

Matthew 10:39  AMP

Whoever finds his [lower] life will lose it [the higher life], and whoever loses his [lower] life on My account will find it [the higher life].

Mark 8:35 AMP

For whoever wants to save his [higher, spiritual, eternal] life, will lose it [the lower, natural, temporal life which is lived only on earth]; and whoever gives up his life [which is lived only on earth] for My sake and the Gospel's will save it [his higher, spiritual life in the eternal kingdom of God].

For Further Study into this:

 

Romans 8: AMP

1THEREFORE, [there is] now no condemnation (no adjudging guilty of wrong) for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit. 2For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new being] has freed me from the law of sin and of death. 3For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened by the flesh [the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, [God] condemned sin in the flesh [[subdued, overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice], 4So that the righteous and just requirement of the Law might be fully met in us who live and move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [our lives governed not by the standards and according to the dictates of the flesh, but controlled by the Holy Spirit]. 5For those who are according to the flesh and are controlled by its unholy desires set their minds on and pursue those things which gratify the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit and are controlled by the desires of the Spirit set their minds on and seek those things which gratify the [Holy] Spirit. 6Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all the miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever]. 7[That is] because the mind of the flesh [with its carnal thoughts and purposes] is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God's Law; indeed it cannot. 8So then those who are living the life of the flesh [catering to the appetites and impulses of their carnal nature] cannot please or satisfy God, or be acceptable to Him. 9But you are not living the life of the flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells within you [directs and controls you]. But if anyone does not possess the [Holy] Spirit of Christ, he is none of His [he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God]. 10But if Christ lives in you, [then although] your [natural] body is dead by reason of sin and guilt, the spirit is alive because of [the] righteousness [that He imputes to you]. 11And if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, [then] He Who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also restore to life your mortal (short-lived, perishable) bodies through His Spirit Who dwells in you. 12So then, brethren, we are debtors, but not to the flesh [we are not obligated to our carnal nature], to live [a life ruled by the standards set up by the dictates] of the flesh. 13For if you live according to [the dictates of] the flesh, you will surely die. But if through the power of the [Holy] Spirit you are [habitually] putting to death (making extinct, deadening) the [evil] deeds prompted by the body, you shall [really and genuinely] live forever. 14For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God. 15For [the Spirit which] you have now received [is] not a spirit of slavery to put you once more in bondage to fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption [the Spirit producing sonship] in [the bliss of] which we cry, Abba (Father)! Father!  16The Spirit Himself [thus] testifies together with our own spirit, [assuring us] that we are children of God. 17And if we are [His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ [sharing His inheritance with Him]; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory. 18[But what of that?] For I consider that the sufferings of this present time (this present life) are not worth being compared with the glory that is about to be revealed to us and in us and for us and conferred on us! 19For [even the whole] creation (all nature) waits expectantly and longs earnestly for God's sons to be made known [waits for the revealing, the disclosing of their sonship]. 20For the creation (nature) was subjected to frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him Who so subjected it--[yet] with the hope. 21That nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance] into the glorious freedom of God's children. 22We know that the whole creation [of irrational creatures] has been moaning together in the pains of labor until now. 23And not only the creation, but we ourselves too, who have and enjoy the firstfruits of the [Holy] Spirit [a foretaste of the blissful things to come] groan inwardly as we wait for the redemption of our bodies [from sensuality and the grave, which will reveal] our adoption (our manifestation as God's sons).

Grand Rapids, Michigan Meeting Notes 3/09

The Grand Rapids Word from September 2008 & March 2009 Meeting Notes

Grand Rapids:

“You are My Grand River in which My Falls were once Grand, but now watch, for I am coming to pass over My Falls again. For I will increase My River from this place, till all of My People would sincerely seek My Face, and then they will stand fully in their place. My Grand River will indeed flow, but it will flow, even as I flow. And it will shake as My Hand passes over the Great Lakes. With this sign, the hearts of My People will fully awake, and what I have begun will be seen, as I also reveal what I desire to make. For you will stand until the end, Oh My People, you are the Remnant that I am gathering, and you will walk in My Holiness and through what I am doing in your lives I will roar until all men. For the sounds coming forth from My Grand Falls will roar unto men again. Men will hear the new sounds of My Waters as they rush forth, and their hearts will also begin to burst forth, as My Hand passes over them. For My Deeper Fashioning has begun, even as you now stand and follow Me, I will set you fully into My Grand Waters with Me.”

Vision for Grand Rapids on 03-15-09:

I saw 12 concrete dams in a row, one behind the other, each situated within a river. I wondered what the significance of the 12 dams was, and the Lord then said to watch… and then I saw the 12 dams rise upwards like tiles from the river and they angled upwards in a slanted position. They formed what looked to me like a ramp. The Lord said to me, “No, it is a fish ladder.” 

Then I saw very large rainbow colored salmon begin to jump in the river below and as they jumped, they jumped higher and higher until they reached upwards on the fish ladder. They were swimming up the ladder to spawn. The Lord then spoke and said, “It is time for My People to rise up. Their seed has lain dormant long enough. It is time for My People to now greatly accelerate and to bring forth new life. I will now Spawn My Vision into Vigorous Life.”

The Large Silver angel over Ohio/Michigan:

As we were driving to Michigan, Susan saw a very large angel over the Ohio/Michigan area about 2 hours away from their destination of Grand Rapids. The angel was very large over the area, and the number “35 miles” came to Susan as she looked to see how tall he was. He was silver. His garment and body was a fluid silver, like flowing mercury, very thick and fluid like as it flowed down him. He had a large sword in his right hand. It was pointed downwards. It was half silver and half golden.

As we continued to drive along further on our trip, Susan noticed cloud formations over Grand Rapids. They were in the shape of a large angel who was looking face down at the city with both wings pointed upwards stretched out over the city. Susan looked down at her GPS just then and it said 35 miles away from Grand Rapids. The angel was 35 miles tall, but also 35 miles around the city. God had showed us that He had set a perimeter of His protection and the sphere of His dealings with the City below.   

Patrick:  Isaiah 35.   35 Apostles and Prophets    35 Golden Chariots with 35 Apostles coming down from Heaven

Interstate 35: Interstate 35 (I-35) is a north–south Interstate Highway in the central United States. I-35 stretches from Laredo, Texas, on the U.S.-Mexico border to Duluth, Minnesota, Lake Superior- Great Lakes Region.

Silver= Refinement       A two-fold work of the Holy Spirit in the Church to prepare her for the Glory that is coming in.

Gold = Purification

Isaiah 35:8 And a highway shall be there, and a way; and it shall be called the Holy Way. The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for the redeemed; the wayfaring men, yes, the simple ones and fools, shall not err in it and lose their way.

Ezekiel 28:
12Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre and say to him, Thus says the Lord God: You are the full measure and pattern of exactness [giving the finishing touch to all that constitutes completeness], full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. 13You were in Eden, the garden of God; every precious stone was your covering, the carnelian, topaz, jasper, chrysolite, beryl, onyx, sapphire, carbuncle, and emerald; and your settings and your sockets and engravings were wrought in gold. On the day that you were created they were prepared.14You were the anointed cherub that covers with overshadowing [wings], and I set you so. You were upon the holy mountain of God; you walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire [like the paved work of gleaming sapphire stone upon which the God of Israel walked on Mount Sinai]. 15You were blameless in your ways from the day you were created until iniquity and guilt were found in you. 16Through the abundance of your commerce you were filled with lawlessness and violence, and you sinned; therefore I cast you out as a profane thing from the mountain of God and the guardian cherub drove you out from the midst of the stones of fire. 17Your heart was proud and lifted up because of your beauty; you corrupted your wisdom for the sake of your splendor. I cast you to the ground; I lay you before kings, that they might gaze at you. 18You have profaned your sanctuaries by the multitude of your iniquities and the enormity of your guilt, by the unrighteousness of your trade. Therefore I have brought forth a fire from your midst; it has consumed you, and I have reduced you to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all who looked at you

On 3-15-09, as we were driving in the van, I saw a vision. I saw Timothy, Patrick and I and we were standing in a river and we were looking at the drop off of a great waterfall. We were standing in the flow of the river right at the ridge where the water plummets over into the bottom below. I knew instantly it was Moravian Falls.

Tonight the Lord said to me, “I am releasing the “Moravian Calls” again.”

The Moravians fasted and prayed for over 100 years for revival. Three generations held fast to the vision.

The Grand Falls        = Grand Rapids, MI

The Niagara Falls     = New York

The Moravian Falls  = North Carolina

The Lord said to me, “I am visiting My Falls again, and the Noise of My Voice will be heard again.”

The bill for our meal at the restaurant was $19.57. The Lord said it was symbolic for the year of 1957.  2009-1957= 52 years.

Nehemiah 6:15-16
15So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.16And when all our enemies heard of it, all the nations around us were afraid and fell greatly in their own esteem, for they perceived that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.

Another thing Susan saw as we were driving to Grand Rapids was a vision of the whole room where the meetings would be held. The meetings were lifted up into a whole different level and dimension in the Spirit. The room where they were meeting was filled with smoke. The smoke was thick and there were angels walking around the room amongst us in the smoke. They were pure white and their eyes were like blue flames or lights. 

Isaiah 6:4And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.

Revelations 15:8and the sanctuary was filled with smoke from the glory of God and from his power, and no one could enter the sanctuary until the seven plagues of the seven angels were finished.

Exodus 24:
9Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up [the mountainside]. 10And they saw the God of Israel [that is, a convincing manifestation of His presence], and under His feet it was like pavement of bright sapphire stone, like the very heavens in clearness. 11And upon the nobles of the Israelites He laid not His hand [to conceal Himself from them, to rebuke their daring, or to harm them]; but they saw [the manifestation of the presence of] God, and ate and drank.

Isaiah 4:4-6
4After the Lord has washed away the [moral] filth of the daughters of Zion [pride, vanity, haughtiness] and has purged the bloodstains of Jerusalem from the midst of it by the spirit and blast of judgment and by the spirit and blast of burning and sifting. 5And the Lord will create over the whole site, over every dwelling place of Mount Zion and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory shall be a canopy (a defense of divine love and protection). 6And there shall be a pavilion for shade in the daytime from the heat, and for a place of refuge and a shelter from storm and from rain.

The Father is bringing those who have been purified and refined into the Glory to walk with Him. 

It is also the timing of the Father to bring this His Body in this City into that relationship. 

It is time for the mature things of the Spirit that the Father has withheld up till now due to the immaturity of the body, to now be clearly understood and walked out. It is time to give birth to the supernatural and to the hidden things within the Glory that have waited to come forth. The end-time church will walk in the demonstration of heaven. The voice of heaven will speak through the pure vessels again and release the demonstration of His voice to their cities.

Isaiah 17:12  AMP
Hark, the uproar of a multitude of peoples! They roar and thunder like the noise of the seas! Ah, the roar of nations! They roar like the roaring of rushing and mighty waters!

Jeremiah 51:55  AMP
For the Lord is destroying Babylon and laying her waste and stilling her great voice [the hum of the city's life]. And the waves [of her conquerors] roar like great waters, the noise of their voices is raised up [like the tramping of an army].

Ezekiel 43:2  KJV
And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice was like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory.

1 Samuel 10:6  AMP Then the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you mightily, and you will show yourself to be a prophet with them; and you will be turned into another man.

Isaiah 6:1-3  TM 
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Master sitting on a throne—high, exalted!—and the train of his robes filled the Temple. Angel-seraphs hovered above him, each with six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two their feet, and with two they flew. And they called back and forth one to the other, Holy, Holy, Holy is God-of-the-Angel-Armies. His bright glory fills the whole earth. The foundations trembled at the sound of the angel voices, and then the whole house filled with smoke. I said, "Doom! It's Doomsday! I'm as good as dead! Every word I've ever spoken is tainted— blasphemous even! And the people I live with talk the same way, using words that corrupt and desecrate. And here I've looked God in the face! The King! God-of-the-Angel-Armies!" Then one of the angel-seraphs flew to me. He held a live coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar. He touched my mouth with the coal and said, "Look. This coal has touched your lips. Gone your guilt, your sins wiped out." And then I heard the voice of the Master: "Whom shall I send? Who will go for us?" I spoke up, "I'll go. Send me!"

God is coming upon men and women mightily again- like the above mentioned waterfalls- turning them into totally different vessels that will release a new prophetic sound and that will spawn new life.
 
This morning on 3-19-09 the Lord woke me up three times and my clock read 8:08, 9:09, and 10:10 am   Which speaks of the Progressive Steps up the fish ladder…we are accelerating and ascending higher into the purposes of God.. 

Street Signs that read: Gd Rapids =  Grand Rapids   “G-d” God’s name.

Genesis 28:   NIV

10 Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Haran. 11 When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. 12 He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels (messengers) of God were ascending and descending on it. 13 There above it stood the LORD, and he said: "I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your descendants the land on which you are lying. 14 Your descendants will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south. All peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring. 15 I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go, and I will bring you back to this land. I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you." 16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, "Surely the LORD is in this place, and I was not aware of it." 17 He was afraid and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven."

Isaiah 60:8-22  TM  [ What's That We See in the Distance? ]
"What's that we see in the distance, a cloud on the horizon, like doves darkening the sky? It's ships from the distant islands, the famous Tarshish ships Returning your children from faraway places, loaded with riches, with silver and gold, And backed by the name of your God, The Holy of Israel, showering you with splendor. Foreigners will rebuild your walls, and their kings assist you in the conduct of worship. When I was angry I hit you hard. It's my desire now to be tender. Your Jerusalem gates will always be open —open house day and night!— Receiving deliveries of wealth from all nations, and their kings, the delivery boys! Any nation or kingdom that doesn't deliver will perish; those nations will be totally wasted. The rich woods of Lebanon will be delivered —all that cypress and oak and pine— To give a splendid elegance to my Sanctuary, as I make my footstool glorious. The descendants of your oppressor will come bowing and scraping to you. All who looked down at you in contempt will lick your boots. They'll confer a title on you: City of God, Zion of The Holy of Israel. Not long ago you were despised refuse— out-of-the-way, unvisited, ignored. But now I've put you on your feet, towering and grand forever, a joy to look at! When you suck the milk of nations and the breasts of royalty, You'll know that I, God, am your Savior, your Redeemer, Champion of Jacob. I'll give you only the best—no more hand-me-downs! Gold instead of bronze, silver instead of iron, bronze instead of wood, iron instead of stones. I'll install Peace to run your country, make Righteousness your boss. There'll be no more stories of crime in your land, no more robberies, no more vandalism. You'll name your main street Salvation Way, and install Praise Park at the center of town. You'll have no more need of the sun by day nor the brightness of the moon at night. God will be your eternal light, your God will bathe you in splendor. Your sun will never go down, your moon will never fade. I will be your eternal light. Your days of grieving are over. All your people will live right and well, in permanent possession of the land. They're the green shoot that I planted, planted with my own hands to display my glory. The runt will become a great tribe, the weakling become a strong nation. I am God. At the right time I'll make it happen."

The Great Balls Of Fiery Red Light:

After the Thursday night meeting, the Lord visited them at the hotel. As Susan raised her hands to the Lord, instantly she was lifted up and God began to pulsate all around them. Susan’s hands were numb and her finger tips burned as she her hands were in the Glory cloud. Then, a great red fiery ball of light about 12 feet in diameter came into the hotel room. It enveloped them for a few minutes and then subsided. Later, Susan saw the whole region around Grand Rapids lying flat like a map. As she watched, the same huge balls of red fiery light rolled across the area and then many stopped at various homes, at various churches, and at various places. The huge 12 foot diameter burning balls then burned even hotter wherever they stopped and the homes, churches, and places were where the balls of fire rested were then dealt with by God. God began the transformation process by His Presence coming to rest in their midst.

The Lord woke up Susan on 3-20-09 at 6:19, 6:39, and 7:19 am.  Another series of three timings in progression…..

The Sunrise and the River of Gold:

The Lord showed Susan a vision of the land lying flat. She climbed on the back of a great white bird, not an eagle, but more like a great white condor. She was flying with the bird as she rode on it’s back. The bird was flying over a river that was flowing through the middle of the land. The sun then began to rise at dawn over the land, and as the sun rose, the light shined on the river. The river waters turned gold as the light hit it from the sun.

Isaiah 60: 1-3 TM
1-3 "Get out of bed, Jerusalem! Wake up. Put your face in the sunlight. God's bright glory has risen for you. The whole earth is wrapped in darkness, all people sunk in deep darkness, But God rises on you, His sunrise glory breaks over you. Nations will come to your light, kings to your sunburst brightness.

Daniel 10:
1IN THE third year of Cyrus king of Persia a word was revealed to Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar. And the word was true and it referred to great tribulation (conflict and wretchedness). And he understood the word and had understanding of the vision.
4On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was on the bank of the great river Hiddekel [which is the Tigris], 5I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with pure gold of Uphaz. 6His body also was [a golden luster] like beryl, his face had the appearance of lightning, his eyes were like flaming torches, his arms and his feet like glowing burnished bronze, and the sound of his words was like the noise of a multitude [of people or the roaring of the sea]. 7And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision [of this heavenly being], for the men who were with me did not see the vision, but a great trembling fell upon them so that they fled to hide themselves. 8So I was left alone and saw this great vision, and no strength was left in me, for my fresh appearance was turned to pallor; I grew weak and faint [with fright]. 9Then I heard the sound of his words; and when I heard the sound of his words, I fell on my face in a deep sleep, with my face [sunk] to the ground. 10And behold, a hand touched me, which set me [unsteadily] upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands. 11And [the angel] said to me, O Daniel, you greatly beloved man, understand the words that I speak to you and stand upright, for to you I am now sent. And while he was saying this word to me, I stood up trembling. 12Then he said to me, Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your mind and heart to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come as a consequence of [and in response to] your words. 13But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me for twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief [of the celestial] princes, came to help me, for I remained there with the kings of Persia. 14Now I have come to make you understand what is to befall your people in the latter days, for the vision is for [many] days yet to come.
20Then he said, Do you know why I have come to you? And now I will return to fight with the [hostile] prince of Persia; and when I have gone, behold, the [hostile] prince of Greece will come. 21But I will tell you what is inscribed in the writing of truth or the Book of Truth. There is no one who holds with me and strengthens himself against these [hostile spirit forces] except Michael, your prince [national guardian angel].

The Angel over America is called by name, the Angel “Union.” The Angel of the Covenant comes at times also.

Malachi 3:

1 BEHOLD, I send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me. And the Lord [the Messiah], Whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; the Messenger or Angel of the covenant, Whom you desire, behold, He shall come, says the Lord of hosts.

Daniel 12:
1AND AT that time [of the end] Michael shall arise, the great [angelic] prince who defends and has charge of your [Daniel's] people. And there shall be a time of trouble, straitness, and distress such as never was since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the Book [of God's plan for His own]. 2And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake: some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt and abhorrence. 3And the teachers and those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness (to uprightness and right standing with God) [shall give forth light] like the stars forever and ever. 4But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book until the time of the end. [Then] many shall run to and fro and search anxiously [through the Book], and knowledge [of God's purposes as revealed by His prophets] shall be increased and become great. 5Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, there stood two others, the one on the brink of the river on this side and the other on the brink of the river on that side. 6And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders. 7And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right and his left hand toward the heavens and swore by Him Who lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half a time [or three and one-half years]; and when they have made an end of shattering and crushing the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished. 8And I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, O my lord, what shall be the issue and final end of these things? 9And he [the angel] said, Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end. 10Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be tried, smelted, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but the teachers and those who are wise shall understand.

The Golden Bridge = The Spirit entering the natural realm.

Revelatory Words pass from messenger to messenger across the river of the Spirit.

The Messenger then tells us the person the meaning and the instructions for the message

The person then goes and obeys the vision

The angels bring the word to pass as it was released by the person

The Great Effectual Door:

1 Corinthians 16:8-10  AMP 
8I will remain in Ephesus [however] until Pentecost, 9For a wide door of opportunity for effectual [service] has opened to me [there, a great and promising one], and [there are] many adversaries. 10When Timothy arrives, see to it that [you put him at ease, so that] he may be fearless among you, for he is [devotedly] doing the Lord's work, just as I am.

The Lord has brought us to a great door, an effectual door.  There are many adversaries in the higher levels. But the angels of God are here to teach us how to move in the Spirit effectively and how to be clothed with the light, which keeps us untouchable in the higher levels.

Acts 26:16-22
16But arise and stand upon your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, that I might appoint you to serve as [My] minister and to bear witness both to what you have seen of Me and to that in which I will appear to you, 17Choosing you out [selecting you for Myself] and delivering you from among this [Jewish] people and the Gentiles to whom I am sending you-- 18To open their eyes that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may thus receive forgiveness and release from their sins and a place and portion among those who are consecrated and purified by faith in Me. 19Wherefore, O King Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision, 20But made known openly first of all to those at Damascus, then at Jerusalem and throughout the whole land of Judea, and also among the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works and live lives consistent with and worthy of their repentance. 

(God took Saul and began to give him revelation. Revelation of things so revolutionary that it turned the world upside down. Paul became a bridge which brought light to those who sat in darkness and the spiritual truth to those who were natural in understanding.)

21Because of these things the Jews seized me in the temple [enclosure] and tried to do away with me. 22[But] to this day I have had the help which comes from God [as my ally], and so I stand here testifying to small and great alike, asserting nothing beyond what the prophets and Moses declared would come to pass--

Nehemiah 6:15-16
15So the wall was finished on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.16And when all our enemies heard of it, all the nations around us were afraid and fell greatly in their own esteem, for they perceived that this work had been accomplished with the help of our God.

The walls erected by the enemy are coming down over our cities

The walls of truth will rise and guard our cities

“Offenses” empower, fortify, and give life to the dark spiritual fences over cities. 

Proverbs 18:19 AMP A brother offended is harder to be won over than a strong city, and [their] contentions separate them like the bars of a castle.

Last night during worship, I saw this city and the walls had begun to come down. As we worshipped I saw golden walls in the spirit being erected from the ground up. These walls were very wide. They were short at first, about waist high. Then I saw all of us standing on top of the wide wall. There were many angels there and chariots. We were lined up, and we were each getting into a chariot on top of the wall, and in each chariot was an angel. As we got is, and began to ride in the chariot, another person behind us would do the same in their own chariot. Then we would all race across the top of the wall around the city. Around and around we would all go, and as we did, the wall grew higher, till it was towering into the heavens.

The Word of God is like a spiritual vehicle. We activate that word given to us by acting on that word, and we cause it to be enforced by heaven who responds to our actions, which then brings the word to pass.

Susan shares her vision regarding the Black Mountain:

2 Vision Experiences on 01-19-09

The Black Mountain 

In the vision, I am watching myself from the outside of the vision and see myself as I am walking in the vision. I am walking on a path in the bottom of a very deep gorge or canyon of some type. The walls of the steep mountains all around me are very high. They are very rough in their appearance and the walls of the mountain sides are black. The rocks are black, like the color of ebony. But they are not shiny, just very rough looking.

The path I am walking on in the midst of the deep gorge progressively gets narrower as I walk. There are many people behind me that are with me on this journey, and they are all following me as we all go towards something that lies ahead deeper in the gorge ahead of us. As we walk, the way gets narrower and the walls of the mountains around us seem to get steeper and blacker if that is possible. The atmosphere in the deep gorge is very heavy but a strong sense of uncertain anticipation fills the air as we all walk forwards, each of us saying nothing as we walk.

After awhile, the path turns to the right, and then it opens up into a large expansive place. This place is hidden amongst the tall black mountains and it is very holy. The Presence of God is so strong there that it is even hard to breathe. I look around and see the Throne of God in the distance ahead of me within the open area. I saw multitudes of angels and many people also there, and I also could see the Lord and He was sitting upon the throne, and He was radiating with awesome colorful flames shooting from His Being. 

There were also very great shafts of light that shined outwards from Him like great light beams or light rays. They reminded me in a way, of our earthly great lighthouse beams of light that would shine out in the fog for ships to see so they wouldn’t shipwreck. The great rays of light, were living light, and they would shoot forth from Him, especially from His face, and from His whole Body, and from His hands and feet. He was very terrible to look upon, even from afar as the shafts of light would reveal His Holiness and His Majesty as it shined outwards. We cannot fully understand it even when we see it, yet it is very wonderful to behold at the same time. The impact of those great light beams hit me in their brilliance as I behold Him, and the vision leaves.  The scene changes…..

The Heavenly Sanctuary

I see Jesus entering into the Sanctuary in Heaven when He rose from the dead. He enters into the Heavenly Temple and He walks in and sprinkles everything with His Blood. I watch Him as He puts His Blood upon the altar and upon the Holy things. Then after a while, He turns around and sees me standing there in the vision, and He reaches out and splatters me with the same blood. I feel the force of the blood hit me in the face, and the impact of it stuns me, and the vision ends.

Perspectives from the Father:

Through both of these two above experiences, the Father wants the People of God to come closer to Him, and to enter into a new and deeper revelation of Him. We have yet to fully break through the barriers that are still before us that have hindered the deeper portion that awaits us. There is much that we have not yet appropriated of Him in our daily lives and in our walks. His Living Blood is available to us to not only use, but we are to walk in that revelation of the Covenant Inheritance in even greater measures and with the understanding of the deeper truths that will be revealed to us as we approach the Lord and as we fully embrace His Person each day.

The Church is coming into a new and living way, which our current path of self death and severe purgings has prepared us for. It is now time to pass through those last barriers and to be found in Him. We will each obtain profound understandings that we longed to walk in but were unable to in our previous condition. But now, the Grace is given to move into the deep, deep truths that will launch us forwards into fulfilling our high call.

Habakkuk 3:  ESV

1 A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet, according to Shigionoth. 2 O LORD, I have heard the report of you, and your work, O LORD, do I fear. In the midst of the years revive it; in the midst of the years make it known; in wrath remember mercy. 3 God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. His splendor covered the heavens, and the earth was full of his praise. 4 His brightness was like the light; rays flashed from his hand; and there he veiled his power.

Habakkuk 3:4 AMP -And His brightness was like the sunlight; rays streamed from His hand, and there [in the sunlike splendor] was the hiding place of His power.

Habakkuk 3:4 KJV -And his brightness was as the light; he had horns coming out of his hand: and there was the hiding of his power.

Deuteronomy 33:2 He said, "The LORD came from Sinai and dawned from Seir upon us; he shone forth from Mount Paran; he came from the ten thousands of holy ones, with flaming fire at his right hand.

Ezekiel 1:27 And upward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were gleaming metal, like the appearance of fire enclosed all around. And downward from what had the appearance of his waist I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness around him.

Ezekiel 8:2 Then I looked, and behold, a form that had the appearance of a man. Below what appeared to be his waist was fire, and above his waist was something like the appearance of brightness, like gleaming metal.

Matthew 17:2 And he (Jesus) was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light.

Revelation 1:16 In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.

Exodus 34:
29When Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two tablets of the testimony in his hand as he came down from the mountain, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God. 30Aaron and all the people of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him. 31But Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses talked with them. 32Afterward all the people of Israel came near, and he commanded them all that the LORD had spoken with him in Mount Sinai. 33And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face. 34Whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he would remove the veil, until he came out. And when he came out and told the people of Israel what he was commanded, 35the people of Israel would see the face of Moses that the skin of Moses’ face was shining. And Moses would put the veil over his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

2 Corinthians 3:
1 Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some do, letters of recommendation to you, or from you? 2 You yourselves are our letter of recommendation, written on our hearts, to be known and read by all. 3And you show that you are a letter from Christ delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. 4 Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God. 5 Not that we are sufficient in ourselves to claim anything as coming from us, but our sufficiency is from God, 6who has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit. For the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. 7Now if the ministry of death, carved in letters on stone, came with such glory that the Israelites could not gaze at Moses’ face because of its glory, which was being brought to an end, 8will not the ministry of the Spirit have even more glory? 9For if there was glory in the ministry of condemnation, the ministry of righteousness must far exceed it in glory. 10Indeed, in this case, what once had glory has come to have no glory at all, because of the glory that surpasses it. 11For if what was being brought to an end came with glory, much more will what is permanent have glory. 12Since we have such a hope, we are very bold, 13not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face so that the Israelites might not gaze at the outcome of what was being brought to an end. 14But their minds were hardened. For to this day, when they read the old covenant, that same veil remains unlifted, because only through Christ is it taken away. 15Yes, to this day whenever Moses is read a veil lies over their hearts. 16But when one turns to the Lord, the veil is removed. 17Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

Syracuse Notes     Friday   01-23-09                   

1-19-09 Vision of the Black Mountain +  Susan’s room # 219 =  1/19 to 2/19= 30 days journey till we take the turn and begin to step into the great out-raying of the Lord’s Presence and step into the release of the fuller things we are called to embody….

Psalms 84:1-8 Core Text for the meetings.  verses 5-7 highlighted:

5Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.  6As they go through the Valley of Baca (Weeping) they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools. 7They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.

Ezekiel 22:24 "Son of man, say to her, You are a land that is not cleansed or rained upon in the day of indignation.

Sin, Compromise, and Greed

1 Kings 8:35 "When heaven is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray toward this place and acknowledge your name and turn from their sin, when you afflict them,36 then hear in heaven and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk, and grant rain upon your land, which you have given to your people as an inheritance.

Ephesians 4: They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.

Malachi 3:10 Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need.

The 5 Rains:

1. Rains of Vindication

Joel 2:23 "Be glad, O children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God, for he has given the early rain for your vindication; he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the latter rain, as before.

(Long standing hard cases, deeply entrenched bondages, and unsolvable situations will see break through this year and God will bring justice, closure and vindication to His People.)  Daniel 7

2. Rains of Revelation

Hosea 6:3 Let us know; let us press on to know the LORD; his going out is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth."

Deuteronomy 32:2 NAS "Let my teaching drop as the rain, My speech distill as the dew, As the droplets on the fresh grass And as the showers on the herb.

(Fresh Rhema manna and the inspired teaching of the Word will bring fresh life to the Body. The pure voice of God will be finally be fully released in this hour which will cause a pure flow of truth; which will cause new growth and cause even greater stages of maturity to emerge.)

Psalms 65:9 NLT You take care of the earth and water it, making it rich and fertile. The river of God has plenty of water; it provides a bountiful harvest of grain, for you have ordered it so. 10 You drench the plowed ground with rain, melting the clods and leveling the ridges. You soften the earth with showers and bless its abundant crops. 11 You crown the year with a bountiful harvest; even the hard pathways overflow with abundance.

Psalms 65:10 AMP You water the field's furrows abundantly, You settle the ridges of it; You make the soil soft with showers, blessing the sprouting of its vegetation.

(New releases of Healing and of Restoration will smooth out the furrows, schisms, factions, and infighting amongst the body and settles the ridges and issues that have arisen and that have rooted within. The Body now takes on a new living vitality that causes the long awaited new growth to be strengthened and creates the way for the reproduction of life to become widespread again amongst the church.)

3. Rains of Deliverance

Ezekiel 34:26 And I will make them and the places all around my hill a blessing, and I will send down the showers in their season; they shall be showers of blessing. 27 And the trees of the field shall yield their fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land. And they shall know that I am the LORD, when I break the bars of their yoke, and deliver them from the hand of those who enslaved them.

(The old natural and spiritual yokes, mindsets, strongholds, manipulation and control, and the bondages of men will now be broken so that the People of God can walk freely with their God.)

4. Rains of Fruitfulness

Ezekiel 36:30 I will make the fruit of the tree and the increase of the field abundant, that you may never again suffer the disgrace of famine among the nations.

(The Church will emerge full of life and vigor and will no longer be seen as disgraced and forsaken by the world.)

Zechariah 8:12 For there shall be a sowing of peace. The vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its produce, and the heavens shall give their dew. And I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

(God is sowing peace into His House, into His ground, and into the situations of His Own. He is our only Answer!)

5. Rains of His Council

Isaiah 55: NAS 10"For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth And making it bear and sprout, And furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater; 11So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth; It will not return to Me empty, Without accomplishing what I desire, And without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it.

(What God has spoken to us, and about us, will be accomplished. It will succeed. It will bring forth the results that he had sent it for. It will bear fruit, and bring forth life in the People’s lives who will just believe...)

Isaiah 2:3 and many peoples shall come, and say:" Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths. For out of Zion shall go the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

(What God is releasing in 2009 will be so different, that many will take notice and this will bring about such an awakening, that multitudes will be on the move to come to the House of God to seek God for themselves.)

Zechariah 8:

20"Thus says the LORD of hosts: Peoples shall yet come, even the inhabitants of many cities. 21The inhabitants of one city shall go to another, saying, 'Let us go at once to entreat the favor of the LORD and to seek the LORD of hosts; I myself am going.' 22 Many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem and to entreat the favor of the LORD. 23Thus says the LORD of hosts: In those days ten men from the nations of every tongue shall take hold of the robe of a Jew, saying, 'Let us go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.'"

(Entire Cities will take notice of what God is doing in the City that is breaking through and the other cities will even come to the House of God there in that breakthrough atmosphere to seek Him for their own lives and for their own cities.)

Susan saw a business sign outside the meeting room window across the street: it said “Ephesians” -when in reality it said something else.  The Lord was overshadowing our current business ways of operating with a new revelation of His transformation. 

2009 to 2012     God will work Ephesians Chapters 1-4 into the emerging Church

2009- Chapter 1   *  2010- Chapter 2  *  2011- Chapter 3  *   2012- Chapter 4

                                                         *******************

Syracuse Notes:    Saturday  01-24-09

It was brought to our attention that during the Friday night meeting, at 8:48 pm a massive fireball flew over the East Coast Region, lighting up the skies, and it was greenish-blue.  Our opening scripture for Friday night was Psalms 84:1-8.

8:48 pm = Ps 84:1-8   God is visiting the East Coast Valley Region to confirm His Word to them.

Summary: On Jan. 23, 2009, at approximately 8:48 pm EST a meteoroid of unknown size hit Earth's atmosphere over New England. Its blue-green disintegration was widely observed by motorists on the Massachusetts Turnpike and in neighboring states.

http://www.spaceweather.com/glossary/fireballreports_23jan09.htm?PHPSESSID=usin8r0ccfr1f5peqdafsnm8m7

During the Friday Night Service, the Lord showed me in a vision, that the whole area was like a place by a stream. On the side of where the stream was located, were many large boulders, smaller bushes, and areas of patchy grass here and there. But where the waters edge was, I could see that there were many dried up smaller rocks and larger boulders, and scraggly plants, and some trashy debris that were washed up along the shoreline. 

Out across the stream, I could see Jesus leaping from rock to rock in the middle of the stream. Some of the rocks that protruded outwards were large and some were barely above the surface, even so He knew just where to jump to land on the right ones to get Him across the river stream.

Then He stopped at a certain point and stood in midst of the river stream. He reached down and began to pick up some of the rocks that had lied submerged below the surface of the river water.  I could see that they were about palm sized rocks, and they were rounded and flat. They were smoothed out by the water, and you could tell by their shape that they had been in the water a long time. 

The Lord turned one of the flat rocks over in His hands, looked it over, and then He took it and flung it out across the river stream, and it bounced along the surface of the water several times, as it skipped along the surface. I watched to see how many times it would skip before it sank back into the water, but to my amazement, it didn’t. It never sank again, but kept going and then the rock changed, it grew legs and transformed into a very small person with legs and it was running on top of the water, and it kept on running till it got to the edge of the river and then the person still kept on going and ran onto the ground and speedily left the area. Where they went I do not know.

Then I saw the Lord do the same thing again and again and again. He kept picking up rocks, turning them over in His hands, and then flinging them across the water and He watched them as they skipped along the surface till it reached a certain point, and then each one sprouted legs like a person and then changed into a full fledged person who kept on running as before. Over and over, the Lord did this. Faster and faster He bent down and picked them up and then reached out and flung them, until soon He became a blur and the movements accelerated until He looked like a whirlwind in the water that was throwing the underlying rocks all around the stream, many of them still skipping and jumping and transforming and then running to their destinations.

Then He turned and looked at me and said, “I am jump-starting My Living Stones.”

End of the vision.

Further Understanding from the Father:

***Faith is being out in the flowing stream, Unbelief dries you up and you end up on the banks of the shore.*** 

(Jesus is wading out amongst those who have been waiting.)

(The exposed rocks and surface boulders are those people and ministries who have just begun or who have already emerged and those who have become various works and expressions of the Lord. Some were still in His flow that He moved amongst, but the majority of them lined the river banks instead.)

1 Peter 2: ESV
4As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, 5 you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6For it stands in Scripture: "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame." 7So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe, "The stone that the builders rejected has become the cornerstone,"

1 Peter 2:1-8  TM
1-3 So clean house! Make a clean sweep of malice and pretense, envy and hurtful talk. You've had a taste of God. Now, like infants at the breast, drink deep of God's pure kindness. Then you'll grow up mature and whole in God. 

(Remember: We are going from the chest down to the breast now, to be found drinking the deeper things of the Spirit.) 

4-6 Welcome to the living Stone, the source of life. The workmen took one look and threw it out; God set it in the place of honor. Present yourselves as building stones for the construction of a sanctuary vibrant with life, in which you'll serve as holy priests offering Christ-approved lives up to God. 

(The Living Stones are sources of Life. Jesus is approving of those who are now made ready, and He is thrusting them forth out into the places of fruitfulness amongst His House.)

7-8 The Scriptures provide precedent:  Look! I'm setting a stone in Zion, a cornerstone in the place of honor. Whoever trusts in this stone as a foundation will never have cause to regret it. To you who trust him, he's a Stone to be proud of, but to those who refuse to trust him, The stone the workmen threw out is now the chief foundation stone. For the untrusting it's ... a stone to trip over,  a boulder blocking the way. They trip and fall because they refuse to obey, just as predicted.

(If you learn to quietly trust you will surely be forwards thrust; if you doubt you will find yourself out and drying up on the banks left to rust.)

 The 5 Rains that will come in 2009:                 

Remember:  The Rains came out from the fingers on the Lord’s Hand


Rains of Vindication                                                                  Thumb

Rains of Revelation                                                                   Fore finger

Rains of Deliverance                                                                 Middle finger

Rains of Fruitfulness                                                                  Ring finger

Rains of His Council                                                                   Pinkie


We determine if it will be nurturing Rain or destructive Hail:  

Isaiah 32:19 And it will hail when the forest falls down, and the city will be utterly laid low. 

(“Forests” are the Natural and Spiritual Oppositions and “Cities” are the Demonic Entrenchments in the Spirit Realm over the People and over the City.)

Isaiah 2:15 against every high tower, and against every fortified wall; 

(“Towers” are Arguments, and “Walls” are Opinions, and Mindsets.)

Job 38:26 to bring rain on a land where no man is, on the desert in which there is no man, 27 to satisfy the waste and desolate land, and to make the ground sprout with grass?

(Men will sprout forth from the rocks, explode in understanding, grow legs and become the living stones and learn to run upon the waters and to move in the things of the Spirit.)

Isaiah 35:7 the burning sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water; in the haunt of jackals, where they lie down, the grass shall become reeds and rushes.

Psalms 107:35 He turns a desert into pools of water, a parched land into springs of water.

Isaiah 41:18 I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys. I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

2 Samuel 23:4 he dawns on them like the morning light, like the sun shining forth on a cloudless morning, like rain that makes grass to sprout from the earth.

(The Black Mountain= the burned out ones. Taking the right turn in the path between the steep walls of rock- then suddenly stepping into the Glory- the Revelation that brings utter Transformation and the Explosion of Light from within us now “out-raying” outwardly.)

Isaiah 30: ESV
24and the oxen and the donkeys that work the ground will eat seasoned fodder, which has been winnowed with shovel and fork. 25And on every lofty mountain and every high hill there will be brooks running with water, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall. 26 Moreover, the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day when the LORD binds up the brokenness of his people, and heals the wounds inflicted by his blow.

(Seasoned fodder which has been winnowed with shovel and fork. =The deeper meat, the hidden manna reserved for this hour, for the mature, who can rightly divide it.)

Isaiah 33:21But there the LORD in majesty will be for us a place of broad rivers and streams, where no galley with oars can go, nor majestic ship can pass.

Joel 3:18 "And in that day the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the streambeds of Judah shall flow with water; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of the LORD and water the Valley of Shittim.

Numbers 25:1 While Israel lived in Shittim, the people began to whore with the daughters of Moab.

We are being brought full circle: It is time to be thrust out and for us to get ready to run:

Ezekiel 47:1Then he brought me back to the door of the temple, and behold, water was issuing from below the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east). The water was flowing down from below the south end of the threshold of the temple, south of the altar.

Amos 9:13 "Behold, the days are coming," declares the LORD, "when the plowman shall overtake the reaper and the treader of grapes him who sows the seed; the mountains shall drip sweet wine, and all the hills shall flow with it.

Jesus Is Our Pattern:     3 ½ miles = 3 ½ years 

John 6:  NIV              - the churches current journey over the generations up to today-
16When evening came, his disciples went down to the lake, 17 where they got into a boat and set off across the lake for Capernaum. By now it was dark, and Jesus had not yet joined them. 18A strong wind was blowing and the waters grew rough. 19When they had rowed three or three and a half miles, they saw Jesus approaching the boat, walking on the water; and they were terrified. 20But he said to them, "It is I; don't be afraid." 21Then they were willing to take him into the boat, and immediately the boat reached the shore where they were heading.    

John 6: AMP
16When evening came, His disciples went down to the sea, 17And they took a boat and were going across the sea to Capernaum. It was now dark, and still Jesus had not [yet] come back to them. 18Meanwhile, the sea was getting rough and rising high because of a great and violent wind that was blowing. 19[However] when they had rowed three or four miles, they saw Jesus walking on the sea and approaching the boat. And they were afraid (terrified). 20But Jesus said to them, It is I; be not afraid! [I AM; stop being frightened!] 21Then they were quite willing and glad for Him to come into the boat. And now the boat went at once to the land they had steered toward. [And immediately they reached the shore toward which they had been slowly making their way.]   

The church encountered the living “I AM”- A New Experiential Encounter that will revolutionize us and also transform the current church- instantly positioning us in His next purposes. We no longer will row our boats, this encounter and experience with the Lord will propel us into that right place we are to be. Jesus is our direction, He is the destination, and everything flows outward from Him. He is steering the church again.

Recap:

Season of the Winds      2000- to 2008

Season of the 5 Rains    2009- to 2012

Season of the initial Launching Forth begins in 2009

Isaiah 33:21 But there the LORD in majesty will be for us a place of broad rivers and streams, where no galley with oars can go, nor majestic ship can pass.

Jesus is hand picking His Vessels, they are His Hand-sent Instruments. 

No more bulky man made ships (works), but instead God is releasing His ignited living stones!

For added clarity of the 5 rains that are corporately falling on us in this 4 year season, and their prophetic significance, see the prophetic word just released entitled, “Vision of the Rain of Fire.”

SYRACUSE  - 01-25-09     Sunday evening meeting notes:

During the pre-meeting prayer time on Saturday night, the Lord showed Susan an angel sitting on a brown horse and he was sitting there beside the group that was praying. He had a small leather satchel on his side and it contained scrolls. He reached in and pulled out one, and raised it up over all of our heads as we stood holding hands and praying. The scroll then enlarged and became the width of our circle. Then the scroll came down over us like a tube. We were all encased within the scroll.

The angel then said, “You will all fulfill the Purposes of the Lord that He has ordained for them.”

At the end of the Saturday night meeting, the Lord moved through the entire group attending there to bring them past unity and into UNION. The Father began the process of infusing the Body together with Himself, to become a living Body. The power of God flowed through each person as they joined hands, and the transference of the Spirit of God brought each one into a closer deeper relationship as a whole, and into the partaking and supping that God desires.

As Susan walked up to her hotel room door on Saturday night, the Lord spoke the word, “Cohesion.” 

So she looked up the meaning:

“co⋅he⋅sion”/    Spelled Pronunciation [koh-hee-zhuh n] 

1. the act or state of cohering, uniting, or sticking together.

The act or state of sticking together; close union.

Logical agreement and dependence; as, the cohesion of ideas.

 
2. Physics. the molecular force between particles within a body or substance that acts to unite them.

the molecular attraction by which the particles of a body are united throughout the mass

The intermolecular attraction by which the elements of a body are held together.

the intermolecular force that holds together the molecules in a solid or liquid 

 
3. Botany. the congenital union of one part with another.

The congenital union of parts of the same kind, such as a calyx of five united sepals.

the process in some plants of parts growing together that are usually separate (such as petals) 

SYRACUSE:  

The Definition of the name, the meaning behind the name, and the purposes for Syracuse:

A city on the south-east coast of Sicily, where Paul landed and remained three days when on his way to Rome (Acts 28:12). It was distinguished for its magnitude and splendour. It is now a small town of some 13,000 inhabitants.

A city of southeast Sicily, Italy, on the Ionian Sea south-southeast of Catania. Founded by colonists from Corinth (Carthaginians in 734) in the eighth century B.C., it reached the height of its power in the fifth century but fell to the Romans in 212.  

A city of central New York east-southeast of Rochester. Originally a trading post and saltworks, it is now a manufacturing and educational center.

Susan looked up the name Syracuse, and besides the one in Italy, there are 7 in the US.....

 
Syracuse, NY~                                        Typifies the sign of the 7 Churches in the US Region

                                                    (This East Coast Region is also the 7th Choice of God)
Syracuse, MO~


Syracuse, NE~                                      “You are to become the saltworks again”
 

Syracuse, KS~                         

Syracuse, UT~


Syracuse, OH~            
 

Syracuse, IN~

The 7 names Syracuse are a sign of the 7 fold plan of God to bring forth the saltiness or savor of the Lord back into the Body of Christ. Syracuse NY is the birthing of this future extension.

“You are to be a trading post again, a regional hub where people can come in and out, to seek the Lord and to experience Him in their lives, you are the salt that will savor.”

“Saltworks”: A place where salt is produced commercially, a building or plant where salt is made.

Revelations 1:  
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John: 2Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. 3Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand. 4John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; 5And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, 6And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 7Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindred’s of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen. 8I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. 9I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, 11Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. 12And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. 19Write the things which thou hast seen, and the things which are, and the things which shall be hereafter; 20The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches.

Another definintion for Syracuse:

Syr"a*cuse\, n. A red wine of Italy.    

(You are to be part of the end time oil and wine company of God.)

Revelations 6:6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

Isaiah 65:8 Thus says the LORD: "As the new wine is found in the cluster, and they say, 'Do not destroy it, for there is a blessing in it,' so I will do for my servants’ sake, and not destroy them all.

Matthew 9:17 Neither is new wine put into old wineskins. If it is, the skins burst and the wine is spilled and the skins are destroyed. But new wine is put into fresh wineskins, and so both are preserved."

Mark 2:22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins—and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins."

Luke 5:
37 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the new wine will burst the skins and it will be spilled, and the skins will be destroyed. 38But new wine must be put into fresh wineskins. 39And no one after drinking old wine desires new, for he says, 'The old is good.'"

Acts 2:13 But others mocking said, "They are filled with new wine."

Many criticise the small beginnings that have been birthed in the East Coast, but God alone will fulfill His purposes and be the Source of the fountain that has begun to flow and that will continue to grow, so that all men will know, that He alone brings us all to the point of birth, but alos to our inheritances.

Rochester: is currently called The Flower City- originally, The “Flour City”

Syracuse:   means “Saltworks”: A bldg, a plant, or a place where salt is where salt is made or is produced commercially.

A "covenant of salt" signifies an everlasting covenant, in the sealing or ratifying of which salt, as an emblem of perpetuity, is used (Num. 18:19; Lev. 2:13; 2 Chr. 13:5).

Salt :  Definition:

Was used to season food (Job 6:6), and mixed with the fodder of cattle (Isa. 30:24, "clean;" in marg. of R.V. "salted"). All meat-offerings were seasoned with salt (Lev. 2:13). To eat salt with one is to partake of his hospitality, to derive subsistence from him; and hence he who did so was bound to look after his host's interests (Ezra 4:14, "We have maintenance from the king's palace;" A.V. marg., "We are salted with the salt of the palace;" R.V., "We eat the salt of the palace").

A "covenant of salt" (Num. 18:19; 2 Chr. 13:5) was a covenant of perpetual obligation. New-born children were rubbed with salt (Ezek. 16:4). Disciples are likened unto salt, with reference to its cleansing and preserving uses (Matt. 5:13). When Abimelech took the city of Shechem, he sowed the place with salt, that it might always remain a barren soil (Judg. 9:45). 

Sir Lyon Playfair argues, on scientific grounds, that under the generic name of "salt," in certain passages, we are to understand petroleum or its residue asphalt. Thus in Gen. 19:26 he would read "pillar of asphalt;" and in Matt. 5:13, instead of "salt," "petroleum," which loses its essence by exposure, as salt does not, and becomes asphalt, with which pavements were made.

Psalms 84:1-8 again, a reminder of our opening text for the 3 days of meetings:

Let’s look at 5-7 again:

5Blessed are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion.  6As they go through the Valley of Baca (Weeping) they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools. 7They go from strength to strength; each one appears before God in Zion.

(We are the salt, but the vision births from within us, and the savor of that salt is released to rebuild the pavement or the Highways for our God, and for the people to walk upon!)

The Salt City: one of the cities of Judah (Josh. 15:62), probably in the Valley of Salt, at the southern end of the Dead Sea.

The Valley of Salt: a place where it is said David smote the Syrians (2 Sam. 8:13). This valley (the' Arabah) is between Judah and Edom on the south of the Dead Sea. Hence some interpreters would insert the words, "and he smote Edom," after the words, "Syrians" in the above text. It is conjectured that while David was leading his army against the Ammonites and Syrians, the Edomites invaded the south of Judah, and that David sent Joab or Abishai against them, who drove them back and finally subdued Edom.

Flour needs a measure salt to be baked into bread or a cake.

The Cities in this East Coast Valley Region need each other to fulfill all of our destinies, for it is “One” destiny.

Remember, In this current 3 month window:

A Body-wide FUSION is happening now, from Unity to UNION now!

The FUSION will remove all of the CONFUSION….

January-February-March: 3 Month window we are in, that determines the foundation for the rest of 2009.

We each have our measure of anointing from God to be the lighthouse for Him in/to our areas, and as we all release our individual measures, it will become one great corporate light in this state of NY and then out into the nation.The Lord also revealed in Acts 13 another pattern for the Syracuse group regarding the progressions of God.

The Call and the Commission

Acts 13:1Now there were in the church at Antioch prophets and teachers, Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen a member of the court of Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." 3Then after fasting and praying they laid their hands on them and sent them off.

The Small Works, and Churches

13Now Paul and his companions set sail from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia. And John left them and returned to Jerusalem, 14but they went on from Perga and came to Antioch in Pisidia. And on the Sabbath day they went into the synagogue and sat down. 15After the reading from the Law and the Prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent a message to them, saying, "Brothers, if you have any word of encouragement for the people, say it."

The Cities and Areas

42As they went out, the people begged that these things might be told them the next Sabbath. 43And after the meeting of the synagogue broke up, many Jews and devout converts to Judaism followed Paul and Barnabas, who, as they spoke with them, urged them to continue in the grace of God. 44The next Sabbath almost the whole city gathered to hear the word of the Lord. 45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to contradict what was spoken by Paul, reviling him. 46And Paul and Barnabas spoke out boldly, saying, "It was necessary that the word of God be spoken first to you. Since you thrust it aside and judge yourselves unworthy of eternal life, behold, we are turning to the Gentiles.

The Regions and eventually Entire Nations

47 For so the Lord has commanded us, saying, "'I have made you a light for the Gentiles, that you may bring salvation to the ends of the earth.'"48And when the Gentiles heard this, they began rejoicing and glorifying the word of the Lord, and as many as were appointed to eternal life believed. 49And the word of the Lord was spreading throughout the whole region.

Note: In every instance and stage persecution was experienced as truth was presented and the choices to believe or disbelieve what was presented to them. People usually fear and persecute what they don't understand. It is the same with new works of God that begin in areas, the old mindsets do not receive new truth easily, and will shut down against anything that demands faith or change. Growth comes as we press beyond the boundaries and into God.

God bless you as you read these outline notes and may they be a help to you, as God Himself will fill in the rest………

************************************************************************************************************************

                                  “We Are Straining Toward the Goal!”                              1-16-09

Our Base Text: Philippians 3

1. REJOICE

Philippians 3:
1Finally, my brothers, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you is no trouble to me and is safe for you.  

2 Peter 1:12Therefore I intend always to remind you of these qualities, though you know them and are established in the truth that you have.

Jude 1:5 Now I want to remind you, although you once fully knew it, that Jesus, who saved a people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed those who did not believe.

2. BE WATCHFUL

Philippians 3:
2Look out for the dogs, look out for the evildoers, look out for those who mutilate the flesh. 3For we are the circumcision, who worship by the Spirit of God and glory in Christ Jesus and put no confidence in the flesh— 4 though I myself have reason for confidence in the flesh also. If anyone else thinks he has reason for confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; as to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to righteousness under the law, blameless. 

Dogs and evildoers:

Psalms 22:16For dogs encompass me; a company of evildoers encircles me; they have pierced my hands and feet—

Isaiah 56:10
His watchmen are blind; they are all without knowledge; they are all silent dogs; they cannot bark, dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.11 The dogs have a mighty appetite; they never have enough. But they are shepherds who have no understanding; they have all turned to their own way, each to his own gain, one and all.

Revelations 22:15 Outside (of the House of God) are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

3. OUR LIFE IS NOT OUR OWN

Philippians 3:
7 But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. 8Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness from God that depends on faith— 10 that I may know him and the power of his resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11that by any means possible I may attain the resurrection from the dead. 

2 Corinthians 5:15 and he (Jesus) died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.

Romans 6:11 So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions.

2 Corinthians 12:10 For the sake of Christ, then, I am content with weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and calamities. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

Luke 14:33 So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.

Luke 14:26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple.  -KJV

Luke 14:26 If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his [own] father and mother [in the sense of indifference to or relative disregard for them in comparison with his attitude toward God] and [likewise] his wife and children and brothers and sisters--[yes] and even his own life also--he cannot be My disciple. -AMP

4. PRESS TOWARDS THE GOAL

Philippians 3:
12Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. 13Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. 15Let those of us who are mature think this way, and if in anything you think otherwise, God will reveal that also to you. 16Only let us hold true to what we have attained. 

1 Timothy 6:
12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called and about which you made the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
19 thus storing up treasure for themselves as a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is truly life.

Luke 9:62 Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."

Hebrews 6:1 Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

Hebrews 9:14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to serve the living God.

Hebrews 3:1Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession,
 
1 Peter 5:10And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you.

Romans 8:28And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.    (-Those who seek and live to do His Purposes!)
 
5. IMITATE CHRIST
 
Philippians 3:
17Brothers, join in imitating me, and keep your eyes on those who walk according to the example you have in us. 18 For many, of whom I have often told you and now tell you even with tears, walk as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.

Philippians 4:9 What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.
 
2 Thessalonians 3:9 It was not because we do not have that right (as apostles), but to give you in ourselves an example to imitate.

1 Corinthians 11:1 Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.
 
1 Thessalonians 1:6 And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for you received the word in much affliction, with the joy of the Holy Spirit,  (-Remember, we rejoice as we strain towards the goal!)

6. OUR CITIZENSHIP

Philippians 3:
20But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.
 
Ephesians 2:19 So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God,
 
Hebrews 12:
22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, 23and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, (-citizens of heaven right here!)

Galatians 6:10 So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith. 

(-We are the House of God, that is heavenly in nature, that dwells in the earth among men.)
 
7. OUR EYES ARE UPON HIM TILL THE END!
 
Hebrews 3:
6 but Christ is faithful over God’s house as a son. And we are his house if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.    (-He is the Chief Shepherd that we look to, over the House of God)
14 For we have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original confidence firm to the end.

Hebrews 6:11 And we desire each one of you to show the same earnestness to have the full assurance of hope until the end,
 
Matthew 10:22 and you will be hated by all for my name’s sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved.
 
WE ARE STRAINING TO THE GOAL!

AMEN!!!!

1-11-09  Sunday night service notes:

“I’m Sweeping Through, To Break You Through”

Vision given to Susan during the worship time of the Sunday night service on 12-21-08.

In the vision, Susan saw a very large commercial broom with a very long handle being pushed by a large angel. The base of the broom was about 10 feet wide or so, and it was being pushed by a very tall, strong angel. The angel was standing in the midst of our meeting, and in the midst were great piles of clutter and debris as far as the eye could see. I instantly knew this was not just from us alone, but it represented the whole Body of Christ.

The angel was very determined in his efforts to clear away the piles of debris. He was pushing the broom in a very precise organized way, and he was eyeing each sweep with incredible focus and he was making sure that every stroke was done with complete accuracy. He even knew where each pass of the broom would move the piles to, and even though from my perspective it looked like not much was being accomplished, I knew that with every pass, the piles of debris was being removed and was to be no more. Where they went to I did not see. 

As I watched him work, I thought to myself, where did all of this clutter come from? Who made all of these piles and why did the people not clean this up themselves? The angel then straightened up and looked at me.  He obviously knew what I was thinking, and he said to me, “These piles are representative of the clutter that the Father has been removing from you and from His People. There has been much purging in your lives already, in this past season, but much more is still needed, so I am removing the first dead layers, so that the Father can go in even deeper. Many think they do not need His Broom. Many resist His intrusion into their personal rooms.”

I was shocked as I listened to Him speak. I was also mortified that I would still have this much clutter remaining in myself, and that I was still in this sad state of condition. I felt great remorse that I had not allowed the Father to cleanse me all the more and to remove all that He had wanted to, when He had wanted to. Now, I looked upon the piles and realized how my own stubbornness and selfishness had added to the height of these piles. What a job this must have been for the Lord. My thoughts swirled within me as I walked around the piles, and I looked again at the angel with the broom, wishing that I too had made more room.

The angel then continued, “What these piles represent are actually several things. The Father has been progressively removing the surface layers of the works of the flesh and of the leaven of the world from the lives of His People. These remaining piles are just part of that removal process. But it is really only the surface of His People corporately that has been touched so far. There is more from His House to be removed, much more. I am sweeping away the layers that have been compiled so far and I am making room for the deeper things, that will soon be brought forth from deep within His People.”

“The shaking season you have just experienced has really only removed the initial layers and the close, under-lying things. But the deep-seated things that continue to undermine and to hinder His People will now begin to be forced to the surface, for the Father to deal with. It is time for the deep entrenchments to be broken and for the fountains within His People that have been dammed up by the enemy to be released. But this deeper removal will be most intense and will not be pleasurable, for it is the deeper sinful pleasures that rule within the hearts of the People that will fight the most and that will resist at all costs. The self-life will be engaged in it’s survival to the death in this season. Most will not pass this test successfully. For most do not want to give up their inner pleasures, for they are really their true treasures. The heart is most deceitful and is wicked within, and  the inner revealing comes with this next year, and many will shed many deep inner tears. But great grace will be given to each to be healed and will finally remove all of their deep-seated fears.”

“My broom is indeed making more room, but the breakthroughs will come, one by one, as the human wills are finally laid down and their hearts fully return to Him. I will break through each one of His children that will embrace the deeper sweeping, and it will also be for those who will let the Father determine the final keeping. What remains after the removal of the final grains, will be the precious fruit that will yield new pure roots.”

“The national troubles and pressures and the economic trials have only broken the outer shells, and have allowed the Father to now penetrate down to get to their iron wills. But now the real deep shaking comes, as their human wills are confronted and their plans are undone. No more will selfishness and greed be allowed to defile and to leaven from within. The deeper dredging now begins.”

“You stand here because you have sought to live in the Light of His Truth. You have desired to walk closer with the Father and with the Son. This is to your credit, for most do not desire to draw near. But you must also stand guard, for in this hour every heart will be laid bare. The journey ahead is glorious as you go deeper into the knowledge of Him, but you must keep your eyes upon His Face and not on the length of your race. The goal, in its end, cannot deliver you but His Presence with you will bring you through. Walk close to Him and press deeper in to Him, for the harder trials will lure many to choose another way. Only those who truly lean upon Him will stand, and you have chosen Him as your portion, so be sure to obey the Lord’s every command. Trust in your Lord and not in your own flesh. You can prosper in this hour if you will learn to remain in His Rest.”

“Great woes will erupt across the land as the Father’s hand touches everything and brings all to His Light. Each person will choose their final place, by their acceptance or rejection of His penetrating Face. I’m clearing the way today for you to have room to stand, but woe to those who shrink back from Him and who leave the fold for comforts of the darkened land. Their will be no peace for those who will not learn to go deeper, for the intensity of My Father’s Broom will remove all who seek to stand in their own strength, and great will be the falling across the land as more and more seek help from mere men’s hands. Where are those who will only seek the Father’s bread instead?”

“I am the Breaker that goes before the flock and My Sweeping Broom initiates the ticking of the next Seasonal Clock, and the sign of 12-21 releases the signal of the falling of every demonic and human lock. My People will be free to walk with Me, and they will be with Me for all eternity. I have come to set them free, but many will not embrace Me but will increasingly resist Me, and will refuse to give Me room, nor will they allow Me to change them, to their eternal doom. So, the stages of the world and of the church will be cleared many times, as I pass over each with My bristly tines.”

“Grace is given to the humble. Seek His face today and go deeper to more intimately know His embrace. You will stand in your allotted place and you will finish your race, if you will shed all that still remains. Nothing will stand independently of Him across the lands, for all will be shaken and all will be swept over by My hand. It is for this purpose that I have shown you the next phase, so that God’s People will yield to the Father as He draws nearer and as He goes deeper within, each day. Let go of all that rises up deep from within, and let it be as a burnt offering unto Him. And pleasing to Him you will all be, as you learn to delight yourself in Him sincerely. Divine wisdom will be given to you each day, as you let Him fully have His way.”

“Learn to live in Him each day, and to let Him fully have His way, and you will increase in Light and have the strength for the upcoming greater fights. With each passing of the broom, more and more raging will come to the surface and the hatred unleashed will seek to steal your new found room, and will try to bring about your doom. But I will uncover the deep strategies and the hidden operations of the darkness, for you to understand what lies entrenched in the deep and what seeks to continue to rule in your land. For what currently rules will instead become your very tools in which you and My people will learn to wield and to command.” 

“For My People will take back their dominion and will ultimately redeem their own land. So, with this truth I show you today, go and prepare yourself and His people for the breaking forth of many, and for the sweeping changes that will erupt and now begin. For within the surging chaos unfolding within the nations, will be the rising of many of My Shining Lights into their stations. My Broom has made room for you to stand and will enable you to take your command. But watch and pray, and remember what shortly comes your way, for My Grace will continue to cover each who chooses to walk with Me, and I admonish you, do not fear the flying,  and the scattering of the debris, but seek Him and you will continue to clearly see.”

End of the experience.

Persecution sweeping us through:                                                           1-11-09

Acts 8: AMP
1Saul was one of the witnesses, and he agreed completely with the killing of Stephen. [ Persecution Scatters the Believers ] A great wave of persecution began that day, sweeping over the church in Jerusalem; and all the believers except the apostles were scattered through the regions of Judea and Samaria. 2 (Some devout men came and buried Stephen with great mourning.) 3 But Saul was going everywhere to destroy the church. He went from house to house, dragging out both men and women to throw them into prison.

The fear of the Lord sweeping us through:

 
1 Samuel 5:11 NLT
The people summoned the Philistine rulers again and begged them, “Please send the Ark of the God of Israel back to its own country, or it will kill us all.” For the deadly plague from God had already begun, and great fear was sweeping across the town.

 
Judgment sweeping us through:

 
Jeremiah 4:11 TM
At that time, this people, yes, this very Jerusalem, will be told in plain words: "The northern hordes are sweeping in from the desert steppes— A wind that's up to no good, a gale-force wind. I ordered this wind. I'm pronouncing my hurricane judgment on my people."

Jeremiah 30: NAS
22'You shall be My people, And I will be your God.'" 23Behold, the tempest of the LORD! Wrath has gone forth, A sweeping tempest; It will burst on the head of the wicked. 24The fierce anger of the LORD will not turn back Until He has performed and until He has accomplished The intent of His heart; In the latter days you will understand this.
 
Isaiah 8:5 TM
God spoke to me again, saying: "Because this people has turned its back on the gently flowing stream of Shiloah And gotten all excited over Rezin and the son of Remaliah, I'm stepping in and facing them with the wild floodwaters of the Euphrates, The king of Assyria and all his fanfare, a river in flood, bursting its banks, Pouring into Judah, sweeping everything before it, water up to your necks, A huge wingspan of a raging river, O Immanuel, spreading across your land."

Purging and Purifying sweeping us through:

 
Isaiah 30:27 TM
Look, God's on his way, and from a long way off! Smoking with anger, immense as he comes into view, Words steaming from his mouth, searing, indicting words! A torrent of words, a flash flood of words sweeping everyone into the vortex of his words. He'll shake down the nations in a sieve of destruction, herd them into a dead end.

 ***Song of Solomon 3:6 NLT Who is this sweeping in from the wilderness like a cloud of smoke? Who is it, fragrant with myrrh and frankincense and every kind of spice?

 ***Song of Solomon 8:5 NLT Who is this sweeping in from the desert, leaning on her lover? [ Young Woman ] I aroused you under the apple tree, where your mother gave you birth, where in great pain she delivered you.
 

Jesus breaking through in our midst:

 
Romans 15:7 TM
So reach out and welcome one another to God's glory. Jesus did it; now you do it! Jesus, staying true to God's purposes, reached out in a special way to the Jewish insiders so that the old ancestral promises would come true for them. As a result, the non-Jewish outsiders have been able to experience mercy and to show appreciation to God. Just think of all the Scriptures that will come true in what we do! For instance: Then I'll join outsiders in a hymn-sing; I'll sing to your name! And this one: Outsiders and insiders, rejoice together! And again: People of all nations, celebrate God! All colors and races, give hearty praise! And Isaiah's word: There's the root of our ancestor Jesse, breaking through the earth and growing tree tall, Tall enough for everyone everywhere to see and take hope! Oh! May the God of green hope fill you up with joy, fill you up with peace, so that your believing lives, filled with the life-giving energy of the Holy Spirit, will brim over with hope!

Breakthrough sweeping us through:

2 Samuel 5: AMP
19David inquired of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand? And the Lord said to David, Go up, for I will surely deliver [them] into your hand. 20And David came to Baal-perazim, and he smote them there, and said, The Lord has broken through my enemies before me, like the bursting out of great waters. So he called the name of that place Baal-perazim [Lord of breaking through].
 
ESV- Baal-perazim means Lord of breaking through!
  
NIV- Baal Perazim means the lord who breaks out! 
  
NLT- Baal-perazim which means the Lord who bursts through!
 
NAS- Baal-perazim means the master of breakthrough!
  
***HE IS THE MASTER OF BREAKTHROUGH!
  
***WATCH HIM AS HE BREAKS YOU THROUGH, AS YOU LEAN UPON HIM!

1-10-09  Glory Meeting Notes:

2009- “I will not be moved- but My God will move!”


God is Present, God is in her, He walks among His People, His Habitation:

Psalms 46:  -(Our foundational text for this whole message tonight)

1God is our refuge and strength, a very present (well proved) help in trouble. 2Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, 3though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. 4There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High.

Psalms 36:8They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.

Psalms 65:9You visit the earth and water it; you greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; you provide their grain, for so you have prepared it.

Revelations 22: 1Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

Psalms 46:
5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved. God will help her when morning dawns. 6 The nations rage, the kingdoms totter; he utters his voice, the earth melts. 7 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. 

God is in her midst- You will not be moved:

Leviticus 26:12 And I will walk among you and will be your God, and you shall be my people.

Deuteronomy 23:14Because the LORD your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you and to give up your enemies before you, therefore your camp must be holy, so that he may not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you.

Ezekiel 43:7and he said to me, "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 people of Israel forever. And the house of Israel shall no more defile my holy name, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoring and by the dead bodies of their kings at their high places,

 

God is in her midst- God is her defense- God delivers His People:

 

Joel 2:27 You shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God and there is none else. And my people shall never again be put to shame.

Zephaniah 3:15The LORD has taken away the judgments against you; he has cleared away your enemies. The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst; you shall never again fear evil.

Zechariah 2:5And I will be to her a wall of fire all around, declares the LORD, and I will be the glory in her midst.'"

Zechariah 8:3Thus says the LORD: I have returned to Zion and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem, and Jerusalem shall be called the faithful city, and the mountain of the LORD of hosts, the holy mountain.


God is in her midst- God displays His Works while walking amongst her:

 

Psalms 46:
8 Come, behold the works of the LORD, how he has brought desolations on the earth. 9 He makes wars cease to the end of the earth; he breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the chariots with fire. 10 "Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations;  I will be exalted in the earth!"11 The LORD of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. 

Psalms 66:5 ESV-
Come and see what God has done: he is awesome in his deeds toward the children of man.

Psalms 66:5 AMP-
Come and see the works of God; see how [to save His people He smites their foes; He is] terrible in His doings toward the children of men.


God is in her midst working it all out- Stand firm- and Fear Not!

 

Exodus 14:13And Moses said to the people, "Fear not, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will work for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall never see again. 14The LORD will fight for you, and you have only to be silent."

2 Chronicles 20:
15And he said, "Listen, all Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem and King Jehoshaphat: Thus says the LORD to you, 'Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed at this great horde, for the battle is not yours but God’s. 16Tomorrow go down against them. Behold, they will come up by the ascent of Ziz. You will find them at the end of the valley, east of the wilderness of Jeruel. 17 You will not need to fight in this battle. Stand firm, hold your position, and see the salvation of the LORD on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem.' Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against them, and the LORD will be with you."
 

The Valley of Decision- The crisis of fear or the catalyst of your faith:

Notice!!!   2 Chronicles 20:16Tomorrow go down against them. Behold, they (the enemy) will come up by the ascent of Ziz. You will find them at the end of the valley, east of the wilderness of Jeruel.

Deuteronomy 1: 24And they (Joshua and his scouts) turned and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshcol and spied it out.

Numbers 13:23 And they came to the Valley of Eshcol and cut down from there a branch with a single cluster of grapes, and they carried it on a pole between two of them; they also brought some pomegranates and figs.

Numbers 32:9For when they went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they (the others who didn’t believe) discouraged the heart of the people of Israel from going into the land that the LORD had given them.

Numbers 13:
23And they came to the Valley of Eshcol (Eshcol means cluster) and cut down from there a branch with a single cluster of grapes, and they carried it on a pole between two of them; they also brought some pomegranates and figs. 24That place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster that the people of Israel cut down from there. 25At the end of forty days they returned from spying out the land. 26And they came to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the people of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land. 27And they told him, "We came to the land to which you sent us. It flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. 

 
Numbers 13 + 14: Read it all in context at home- meditate on it- know that God has come to set you free!

 
Numbers 14:
8If the LORD delights in us, he will bring us into this land and give it to us, a land that flows with milk and honey. 9Only do not rebel against the LORD. And do not fear the people of the land, for they are bread for us. Their protection is removed from them, and the LORD is with us; do not fear them." 10 Then all the congregation said to stone them with stones. But the glory of the LORD appeared at the tent of meeting to all the people of Israel. 11And the LORD said to Moses, "How long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe in me, in spite of all the signs that I have done among them?

Zechariah 4:
7Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain. And he shall bring forward the top stone amid shouts of 'Grace, grace to it!'" 8Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 9 "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also complete it. Then you will know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. 10 For whoever has despised the day of small things shall rejoice, and shall see the plumb line in the hand of Zerubbabel.

Isaiah 65:
7 Both your own iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers, says the Lord. Because they too burned incense upon the mountains and reviled and blasphemed Me upon the hills, therefore will I measure and stretch out their former doings into their own bosom. 8Thus says the Lord: As the juice [of the grape] is found in the cluster, and one says, Do not destroy it, for there is a blessing in it, so will I do for My servants' sake, that I may not destroy them all. 9And I will bring forth an offspring from Jacob, and from Judah an inheritor of My mountains; My chosen and elect will inherit it, and My servants will dwell there.
 

God is with her- God is a very present help- a well proved help- God fights for her:

 
Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. 13For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, "Fear not, I am the one who helps you."

Deuteronomy 24:4 for the LORD your God is he who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies, to give you the victory.'

Joshua 10:14 There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD heeded the voice of a man, for the LORD fought for Israel.
 
Isaiah 30:15 For thus said the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel," In returning and rest you shall be saved; in quietness and in trust shall be your strength." But you were unwilling, 

Hosea 14: 1
Return, O Israel, to the LORD your God, for you have stumbled because of your iniquity. 2Take with you words and return to the LORD; say to him, "Take away all iniquity; accept what is good, and we will pay with bulls the vows of our lips.3 Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride on horses; and we will say no more, 'Our God,' to the work of our hands. In you the orphan finds mercy." 4I will heal their apostasy; I will love them freely, for my anger has turned from them.5 I will be like the dew to Israel; he shall blossom like the lily; he shall take root like the trees of Lebanon; 6his shoots shall spread out; his beauty shall be like the olive, and his fragrance like Lebanon.7They shall return and dwell beneath my shadow; they shall flourish like the grain; they shall blossom like the vine; their fame shall be like the wine of Lebanon. 8O Ephraim, what have I to do with idols? It is I who answer and look after you. I am like an evergreen cypress; from me comes your fruit. 9 Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the LORD are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them.
 

The breakers of fear, doubt, and of the worldly cares and pressures will not overtake you!

 
Psalms 32:6Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him.
 
***2 Chronicles 20:17 You will not need to fight in this battle. Stand firm, hold your position, and see the salvation of the LORD on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem. “Do not be afraid and do not be dismayed. Tomorrow go out against them, and the LORD will be with you." 

NOW IS THE TIME TO:

1. Stand Firm
 
2. Hold your position of Faith
 
3. See God’s Salvation working everything out for you!  - SEE IT!
 
4. Do not be afraid
 
5. Go against the enemy operating in the situation, knowing that God is with you- KNOW IT!
 
6. You shall receive and obtain every promise God has given to you!
 
7. Then watch God move in your life to bring you through- It’s breakthrough time!

 
God has promised to bring us all into: 

His Divine Life

His Divine Strength

His Divine Health

His Divine Fruitfulness

His Divine Truth

The Reality And Power Of The Blood- Part 1         12-15-08

2 Timothy 1:9 who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of his own purpose and grace, which he gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began,

Romans 3:25whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.

The natural nature and the divine nature

Hebrews 2:14 –AMP-14Since, therefore, [these His] children share in flesh and blood [in the physical nature of human beings], He [Himself] in a similar manner partook of the same [nature], that by [going through] death He might bring to nought and make of no effect him who had the power of death--that is, the devil—

Hebrews 2:14Since therefore the children share in flesh and blood, he himself likewise partook of the same things, that through death he might destroy the one who has the power of death, that is, the devil,aWe are translated through the Blood

Colossians 1:13 (King James Version)

13Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

Colossians 1:13 (Amplified Bible)

13[The Father] has delivered and drawn us to Himself out of the control and the dominion of darkness and has transferred us into the kingdom of the Son of His love,

Colossians 1:13 (English Standard Version)

13He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son,

Ephesians 2:13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

Revelations 1:5and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood 

Colossians 2:12 having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the powerful working of God, who raised him from the dead. 13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,

1 John 3:88 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.

The Spirit Of Slavery and the Spirit of Adoption

Romans 8:15For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by whom we cry, "Abba! Father!"

Ephesians 2:
1 And you were dead in the trespasses and sins 2 in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience— 3among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. 4But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ— by grace you have been saved— 6and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. 10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. 11Therefore remember that at one time you Gentiles in the flesh, called "the uncircumcision" by what is called the circumcision, which is made in the flesh by hands— 12remember that you were at that time separated from Christ, alienated from the commonwealth of Israel and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.
13But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. 14For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility 15by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, 16and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. 17And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. 18For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. 19So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. 22In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.

2 Corinthians 1:10[For it is He] Who rescued and saved us from such a perilous death, and He will still rescue and save us; in and on Him we have set our hope (our joyful and confident expectation) that He will again deliver us [from danger and destruction and draw us to Himself],

The Hour of Darkness

Luke 22:53When I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness."

Ephesians 6:12For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Acts 26:14And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew language,'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.' 15And I said, 'Who are you, Lord?' And the Lord said, 'I am Jesus whom you are persecuting. 16But rise and stand upon your feet, for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to appoint you as a servant and witness to the things in which you have seen me and to those in which I will appear to you, 17 delivering you from your people and from the Gentiles—to whom I am sending you 18 to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.'

The Blood Speaks Still

Hebrews 11:4 By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks.

Genesis 4:10 And the LORD said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood is crying to me from the ground. (for justice and vengeance)

Hebrews 12:24 and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel.

The Times of Ignorance

Romans 2:4Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?

Acts 17:30 The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent,

Faith in the blood of Jesus Christ

Hebrews 10:19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, 20by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh, 21and since we have a great priest over the house of God, 22let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful. 24And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, 25 not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.

Luke 18: 7And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? 8I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?"ADAM AND EVE:

 
SPIRITUAL DEATH:                       

LOST THE UNION WITH GOD

LOST THE COVERING OF THE GLORY

LOST THE DIVINE BLOOD IN WHICH IS THE DIVINE LIFE

LOST THE SENSE OF GOD’S PRESENCE

LOST THE LIGHT IN WHICH IS THE FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD

LOST THE SPIRITUAL INTUITIVENESS, AUTHORITY, DOMINION, AND POWER

PHYSICAL DEATH:


THEIR DIVINE BLOOD BECAME A NATURAL BLOOD   (A DIFFERENT NATURE)

AND THEY BEGAN TO PHYSICALLY DIE    (DEATH, DECAY, DESTRUCTION)

THIS ALSO BEGAN THE DARKENING OF THE CONSCIENCE AND THEIR WILLS AND POWER OF THE FLESH

THEY BECAME SUBJECTED TO SIN, DEATH, SICKNESS, FEAR, WEAKNESSES, TRAVAIL, SLAVERY, WARS, MURDERS, BONDAGES, ETC

 

WITHIN THE DIVINE BLOOD IS:


THE SPIRIT OF LIFE

THE LIGHT OF GOD

THE VOICE OF GOD

THE RESURRECTION POWER

THE SALVATION OF GOD

THE REVELATION OF THE LOVE AND GRACE OF GOD

TRANSLATION 

1 PETER 1:
10Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. 12Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. 13Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;


Daniel 8:13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the one who spoke, "For how long is the vision concerning the regular burnt offering, the transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled underfoot?"


Daniel 12: 
5Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream. 6And someone said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, "How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?" 7And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished.

 
Ephesians 3: 10so that through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.

The Spirit- The Water- and The Blood are about to become a Flood

Acts 12:
1About that time Herod the king laid violent hands on some who belonged to the church. 2He killed James the brother of John with the sword, 3and when he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. This was during the days of Unleavened Bread. 4And when he had seized him, he put him in prison, delivering him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him, intending after the Passover to bring him out to the people. 5So Peter was kept in prison, but earnest prayer for him was made to God by the church. 6Now when Herod was about to bring him out, on that very night, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries before the door were guarding the prison. 7And behold, an angel of the Lord stood next to him, and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him, saying, "Get up quickly." And the chains fell off his hands. 8And the angel said to him, "Dress yourself and put on your sandals." And he did so. And he said to him, "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me." 9And he went out and followed him. He did not know that what was being done by the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. 10When they had passed the first and the second guard, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them of its own accord, and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel left him. 11When Peter came to himself, he said, "Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting." 12When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying. 13And when he knocked at the door of the gateway, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer. 14Recognizing Peter’s voice, in her joy she did not open the gate but ran in and reported that Peter was standing at the gate. 15They said to her, "You are out of your mind." But she kept insisting that it was so, and they kept saying, "It is his angel!" 16But Peter continued knocking, and when they opened, they saw him and were amazed. 17But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, "Tell these things to James and to the brothers." Then he departed and went to another place. 18Now when day came, there was no little disturbance among the soldiers over what had become of Peter. 19And after Herod searched for him and did not find him, he examined the sentries and ordered that they should be put to death. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and spent time there.

The striking of the Church’s side has also begun:

John 19:
28After this, Jesus, knowing that all was now finished, said (to fulfill the Scripture), "I thirst." 29A jar full of sour wine stood there, so they put a sponge full of the sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it to his mouth. 30When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, "It is finished," and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. 31Since it was the day of Preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. 32So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who had been crucified with him. 33But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. 35 He who saw it has borne witness— his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth— that you also may believe. 36 For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken." 37And again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they have pierced."

1 John 5:
5Who is it that overcomes the world except the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 6This is he who came by water and blood—Jesus Christ; not by the water only but by the water and the blood. And the Spirit is the one who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. 7For there are three that testify: 7For there are three that testify: 8the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree. 9 If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son.

Job 22:
21 Make now an agreement with God, and offer to him of your good crops. 22 Receive the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart. 23 If you shall repent before God, you shall be built up; if you shall put away iniquity from your dwelling place; 24 Then you shall lay up silver like dust, and the gold of Ophir as the sand of the valley. 25 Yea, God shall be your defense, and you shall have plenty of silver. 26 For then you shall lift up your face to God. 27 And you shall make your prayer to him, and he shall hear you, and you shall fulfill your vows. 28 You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established for you; and the light shall shine upon your ways. 29 For it is said, He who humbles himself shall be exalted; and he who is meek shall be saved. 30 The innocent man shall be spared wherever he is, and he shall escape by the purity of his hands. 

Matthew 16:
17And Jesus answered him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. 18And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. 19I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven."

John 15:
26"But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me. 27And you also will bear witness, because you have been with me from the beginning.

John 16:13 When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come.

Acts 5:32 And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."

1 John 1:1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— 2 the life was made manifest, and we have seen it, and testify to it and proclaim to you the eternal life, which was with the Father and was made manifest to us— 3 that which we have seen and heard we proclaim also to you, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ.

Acts 12:7

Recap of The Vision of the Angel of the Lord on the Horse:

The angel of the Lord is here on the horse in a mist. There are bushes and things around him and there is a sparse landscape. I sense that he is the same angel that talked to Joshua. The angel of the Lord. The Lord is saying, that He is not here because of what the devil is doing, and he is not here because of what the Christians are doing, but he is here to do God’s will. He is not for either side. But He is here to set into place those things that are ordained, and that are about to take place. He is here to initiate the next phase.

The angel has a long staff. He touches the ground with it. He touches the ground and the ground dries up. There are huge cracks everywhere. Huge cracks. Like to Mojave Desert, just huge cracks, with the ground peeling everywhere. As we are standing there, and then we are standing there with Him, and He touches the ground with the staff and then he lifts the staff. And we are standing there watching him, and we have our hands outstretched. He touches the staff to our hands. Out of our hands flows water. 

The woes are set, and they are being released in stages. As you have read in the Word what is written on the pages. But I have put within your hands the release of My Commands. For I have Grace upon those who have sought My Face. And even though the events are set, I say to you, you have the authority to beget. For I will tell you when to speak, and I will tell you when to refrain. But with your command will come the release and the withholding of rain. For My angels have begun the next stages. And you will understand what is written on the pages. But you walk hand in hand with Me, and I have given you authority to decree. And you will understand those things that are to come. And My Will, will be done. 

You have the Well-Springs of Life. My Well-Springs of Life well up in you. And I will cause you to speak. And I will cause you to do those things that will bring life, through you. And you will feed and water many. At a time when there is no food and no rain, men will see My Grace and know My Face. As they cry out unto Me, and I will send you and you will release My Mercy. For I have mercy on who I will have mercy, and I will have grace on those who seek My Face. And even though My Measures will correct and will instruct, I will open eyes and hearts of those that will call unto Me. For My angel passes through with Mercy. As My other angels pass through with My Justice. And then My other angels pass through with My Vengeance. But I say, I have a People, fashioned by My own Hand, Mine who will stand all across this land, and who will decree with great authority those things that are yet to be, and those things that men’s eyes will see. For My rain will fall here, and will fall there, but will not fall everywhere. But I will have Wells of Salvation throughout the earth. And those who come to My Wells, will drink of Me, and will understand My Worth. I have called you to see what will begin shortly, so that you can walk with Me.

Luke 9                           “Follow Me"    -   "Manifesting The Kingdom”

Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles                    Teams being assembled and sent out

1 And he called the twelve together and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, 2 and he sent them out to proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal. 3 And he said to them, "Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics. 4And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. 5And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them." 6 And they departed and went through the villages, preaching the gospel and healing everywhere. 

Herod Is Perplexed by Jesus                                The awakening is beginning to cause a response

7Now Herod the tetrarch heard about all that was happening, and he was perplexed, because it was said by some that John had been raised from the dead, 8by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen. 9Herod said, "John I beheaded, but who is this about whom I hear such things?" And he sought to see him.

Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand                             Manifesting the Kingdom 

10On their return the apostles told him all that they had done. And he took them and withdrew apart to a town called Bethsaida. 11When the crowds learned it, they followed him, and he welcomed them and spoke to them of the kingdom of God and cured those who had need of healing. 12Now the day began to wear away, and the twelve came and said to him, "Send the crowd away to go into the surrounding villages and countryside to find lodging and get provisions, for we are here in a desolate place." 13But he said to them,  "You give them something to eat." They said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish—unless we are to go and buy food for all these people." 14For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, "Have them sit down in groups of about fifty each." 15And they did so, and had them all sit down. 16And taking the five loaves and the two fish, he looked up to heaven and said a blessing over them. Then he broke the loaves and gave them to the disciples to set before the crowd. 17And they all ate and were satisfied. And what was left over was picked up, twelve baskets of broken pieces. 

Peter Confesses Jesus as the Christ                       The Price of Obedience

18 Now it happened that as he was praying alone, the disciples were with him. And he asked them, "Who do the crowds say that I am?" 19And they answered, "John the Baptist. But others say, Elijah, and others, that one of the prophets of old has risen." 20Then he said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" And Peter answered, "The Christ of God." 21And he strictly charged and commanded them to tell this to no one, 22 saying, "The Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised."  

Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus                  The Path of Obedience

23And he said to all, "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. 25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? 26For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. 27But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God."

The Transfiguration                                            The Reality of the Kingdom of God

28 Now about eight days after these sayings he took with him Peter and John and James and went up on the mountain to pray. 29And as he was praying, the appearance of his face was altered, and his clothing became dazzling white. 30And behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah, 31who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. 32Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. 33And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, "Master, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah"— not knowing what he said. 34As he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!" 36And when the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and told no one in those days anything of what they had seen. 

Jesus Heals a Boy with an Unclean Spirit              Astonished at the Majesty of God

37 On the next day, when they had come down from the mountain, a great crowd met him. 38And behold, a man from the crowd cried out, "Teacher, I beg you to look at my son, for he is my only child. 39And behold, a spirit seizes him, and he suddenly cries out. It convulses him so that he foams at the mouth, and shatters him, and will hardly leave him. 40And I begged your disciples to cast it out, but they could not." 41Jesus answered, "O faithless and twisted generation, how long am I to be with you and bear with you? Bring your son here." 42While he was coming, the demon threw him to the ground and convulsed him. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit and healed the boy, and gave him back to his father. 43And all were astonished at the majesty of God. 

Jesus Again Foretells His Death                           Reminder of the Focus

But while they were all marveling at everything he was doing, Jesus said to his disciples, 44"Let these words sink into your ears: The Son of Man is about to be delivered into the hands of men." 45 But they did not understand this saying, and it was concealed from them, so that they might not perceive it. And they were afraid to ask him about this saying. 

Who Is the Greatest?                                           Positioning in the Flesh 

46 An argument arose among them as to which of them was the greatest. 47But Jesus, knowing the reasoning of their hearts, took a child and put him by his side 48and said to them, "Whoever receives this child in my name receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. For he who is least among you all is the one who is great." 49John answered, "Master, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he does not follow with us." 50But Jesus said to him, "Do not stop him, for the one who is not against you is for you."

A Samaritan Village Rejects Jesus                        Timing is everything

51When the days drew near for him to be taken up, he set his face to go to Jerusalem. 52And he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make preparations for him. 53But the people did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem. 54And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, "Lord, do you want us to tell fire to come down from heaven and consume them?" 55But he turned and rebuked them. 56And they went on to another village.

The Cost of Following Jesus                                Follow the Divine Pattern

57As they were going along the road someone said to him, "I will follow you wherever you go." 58And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head." 59To another he said, "Follow me." But he said, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father." 60And Jesus said to him, "Leave the dead to bury their own dead. But as for you, go and proclaim the kingdom of God." 61Yet another said, "I will follow you, Lord, but let me first say farewell to those at my home." 62Jesus said to him, "No one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for the kingdom of God."

Luke 10

Jesus Sends Out the Seventy-Two                      The Body now emerges

1After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them on ahead of him, two by two, into every town and place where he himself was about to go. 2 And he said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. 3Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves. 4 Carry no moneybag, no knapsack, no sandals, and greet no one on the road. 5Whatever house you enter, first say, 'Peace be to this house!' 6And if a son of peace is there, your peace will rest upon him. But if not, it will return to you. 7And remain in the same house, eating and drinking what they provide, for the laborer deserves his wages. Do not go from house to house. 8Whenever you enter a town and they receive you, eat what is set before you. 9Heal the sick in it and say to them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.' 10But whenever you enter a town and they do not receive you, go into its streets and say, 11 'Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet we wipe off against you. Nevertheless know this that the kingdom of God has come near.' 12I tell you it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town. 

Woe to Unrepentant Cities                                 Whole cities and regions can experience the Kingdom

13 "Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes. 14 But it will be more bearable in the judgment for Tyre and Sidon than for you. 15And you, Capernaum, will you be exalted to heaven? You shall be brought down to Hades. 16 "The one who hears you hears me, and the one who rejects you rejects me, and the one who rejects me rejects him who sent me."

The Return of the Seventy-Two                           The Father’s Will

17The seventy-two returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in your name!" 18And he said to them, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19Behold, I have given you authority to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you. 20 Nevertheless, do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven." 21 In that same hour he rejoice in the Holy Spirit and said, "I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. 22 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, or who the Father is except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him." 23Then turning to the disciples he said privately, "Blessed are the eyes that see what you see! 24For I tell you that many prophets and kings desired to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it."

The Parable of the Good Samaritan                      Releasing the Kingdom

25 And behold, a lawyer stood up to put him to the test, saying, "Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?" 26He said to him, "What is written in the Law? How do you read it?" 27And he answered, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself." 28And he said to him, "You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live." 29But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?" 30Jesus replied, "A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead. 31Now by chance a priest was going down that road, and when he saw him he passed by on the other side. 32So likewise a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. 33But a Samaritan, as he journeyed, came to where he was, and when he saw him, he had compassion. 34He went to him and bound up his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he set him on his own animal and brought him to an inn and took care of him. 35And the next day he took out two denarius and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take care of him, and whatever more you spend, I will repay you when I come back.' 36Which of these three, do you think, proved to be a neighbor to the man who fell among the robbers?" 37He said, "The one who showed him mercy." And Jesus said to him, "You go, and do likewise." 

Matthew 10:7 And proclaim as you go, saying, 'The kingdom of heaven is at hand.'

Daniel 2:44 And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand foreve
 
Matthew 6:10 Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Daniel 7:

 9"As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire. 10 A stream of fire issued and came out from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment, and the books were opened. 11"I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire. 12As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.  13"I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. 14 And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed. 15"As for me, Daniel, my spirit within me was anxious, and the visions of my head alarmed me. 16 I approached one of those who stood there and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of the things. 17 'These four great beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth. 18But  the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, forever and ever.' 19"Then I desired to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was different from all the rest, exceedingly terrifying, with its teeth of iron and claws of bronze, and which devoured and broke in pieces and stamped what was left with its feet, 20 and about the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn that came up and before which three of them fell, the horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke great things, and that seemed greater than its companions. 21As I looked, this horn made war with the saints and prevailed over them, 22until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints possessed the kingdom.  23"Thus he said: 'As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms,
and it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it to pieces. 24As for the ten horns,out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise after them; he shall be different from the former ones, and shall put down three kings. 25 He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.26 But the court shall sit in judgment, and his dominion shall be taken away, to be consumed and destroyed to the end. 27 And the kingdom and the dominion  and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven  shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; their kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey them.'

11-11-10-08 Vision Of Portals Descending

I saw a vision of a vast open prairie type scene. There was land as far as you could see. Grasses were waving in the breeze. Suddenly I saw clouds that were above, begin to become elongated and then they lowered themselves from heaven towards the earth. It kind of looked like white tornadoes, but these were not tornadoes. They looked like cloud shaped funnels that started with the big wide end up in heaven and the small pointed end touched the ground on earth. There were many of these across the prairie, here and there. I knew these were God’s funnels and that they were for God’s People. They were not judgment tornadoes. I did not know what they were for, but that God was touching the earth now for His people.

Job 38:1THEN THE Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,

Job 40:6Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, saying,

1 Kings 8:12Then Solomon said, "The LORD has said that he would dwell in thick darkness.

Psalms 18:11He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him, thick clouds dark with water.

Psalms 29:3The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the LORD, over many waters.

Psalms 77:18The voice of Your thunder was in the whirlwind, the lightning’s illumined the world; the earth trembled and shook.

Job 37:4After it his voice roars; he thunders with his majestic voice, and he does not restrain the lightning’s when his voice is heard.

Luke 9:34As he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. 35And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, "This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!"

Matthew 3:17and behold, a voice from heaven said, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased."

2 Peter 1:17For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,"Proverbs 8:1Does not wisdom call? Does not understanding raise her voice? 2On the heights beside the way, at the crossroads she takes her stand; 3beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud: 4"To you, O men, I call, and my cry is to the children of man.

Proverbs 10:25When the whirlwind passes, the wicked are no more, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous have an everlasting foundation.

***The Voice of the Lord will speak from the Portals that are opening up over us to us bring us much needed wisdom, to cause us to walk in stability in this uncertain hour, and to bring us provision and  instruction for the new direction.

Isaiah 29:6You shall be visited and delivered by the Lord of hosts with thunder and earthquake and great noise, with whirlwind and tempest and the flame of a devouring fire.

Nahum 1:3The Lord is slow to anger and great in power and will by no means clear the guilty. The Lord has His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.

Psalms 18:9He bowed the heavens and came down; thick darkness was under his feet. 10He rode on a cherub and flew; he came swiftly on the wings of the wind. 11He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him, thick clouds dark with water. 12Out of the brightness before him hailstones and coals of fire broke through his clouds. 13The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Most High uttered his voice, hailstones and coals of fire.

Psalms 97:2 Clouds and thick darkness are all around him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

2 Kings 2:1 WHEN THE Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven by a whirlwind, Elijah and Elisha were going from Gilgal.

11As they still went on and talked, behold, a chariot of fire and horses of fire parted the two of them, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.

23He went up from Jericho to Bethel. On the way, young [maturing and accountable] boys came out of the city and mocked him and said to him, Go up [in a whirlwind], you baldhead! Go up, you baldhead!

***The Lord visits His people in the Whirlwind. He comes down to walk amongst men. The Clouds are the dust of His feet. He will vindicate His People and deliver them from their strong enemies, and He will also judge His enemies. 

Exodus 34:6And the Lord passed by before him, and proclaimed, The Lord! the Lord! a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness and truth, 7Keeping mercy and loving-kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but Who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children's children, to the third and fourth generation.

On 11-14-08, I read an excerpt from Neville Johnson who also had similar insights into this.

"You Are Now at the End of the End of Times"

Neville:

2008 is a year of new beginnings.  It started at the Feast of Tabernacles this year.  A season of restoration is upon us.  There is an acceleration. 

It is interesting because just a couple of months ago, before I came out here, I got up early and got a cup of coffee to get my head clear.  I started to pray and close my eyes.

Suddenly I found myself standing upon a high cliff looking over the sea.  Dawn was breaking and it was a fiery sky. 

An angel appeared at my side.  He said his name was Ranoa.

He said, “There are very few sunrises left before the Lord will return.  You are now at the end of the End of Times.”

He looked at me sternly and said, “You must work while it is still day because the night is coming.”

Then he said, “Jacob’s well was a meeting place.  My name means fellowship. Bethel is such a place.”

I checked out his name.  “Ra” is the root “to appear.”  "Ranoa" is "to touch down and to appear, it is associated with an open heaven."

He said the whole region around Bethel was an open heaven.  God met with Abraham in the region around Bethel.

I asked him what his job function was.  He said, “I have got the privilege of opening portals in the earth.”

He wasn’t too tall and I was thinking, “Are you sure?” But angels often come in disguise to not arouse suspicion.  He said, “I have under me myriads of angels.”  He was a high ranking angel.

He started to spin..  He became a blur, and a portal like a tornado just opened up. This vortex in the heavens just opened up.  Inside, it was lined with angels hand to hand.

I asked why it was lined with angels.  He said, “No demonic force can hinder anything from coming through.”

Then I could see right up this portal into heaven.  The bottom of it began to change into a different shape.  I looked at it and asked what it was.  He said it is known as a Horn of Plenty.  Later I found out that it was an American thing.  It is a big horn where provision comes through.  It is associated with Thanksgiving.  The seal of the state of North Carolina has a Horn of Plenty on it.

I asked the Lord what He was saying to me.  It also comes from the Latin “cornucopia” – abundance, but it is associated with a galaxy out there.

Then I saw different kinds of people praying.  I saw this cornucopia with things like mantles and title deeds to lands and buildings coming through.  Some of the things were gifting’s which were wrapped like presents.  The angel said they were special gifting’s for the sons of man for the End Times.

He said that in times of economic turmoil, God was going to open up things like this. 

I came out of it.  I heard the Scripture:

(Rev 3:8)  I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.

God is going to give this generation an open door to preach the Gospel to all the nations and finish the work.

This depends on us working with God to do what He wants.  It must have the agreement of heaven or it is not going to work.

Susan:

The Great Effectual Door was opened over two weeks ago on 10-31-08

The Father is releasing the wisdom, the provision, the gifting’s, the heavenly resources, and everything that we need to fulfill our destinies. His feet are in the dust of the clouds, and He is walking amongst us, and is also working with us. His Angels are here to help us to do our end time parts and they are here to also begin bringing in the Greater Harvest.

God wants to speak to you tonight

He wants you to hear His Voice speaking from the Cloud to you

He wants to walk with you in the earth

He wants to give you what you need to obey Him

Signs Of The Habitation Of God Now Expanding Outwards  11-14-08

“God is among us”

Deuteronomy 12:5 But you shall seek the place that the LORD your God will choose out of all your tribes to put his name and make his habitation there. There you shall go,

Job 8:6 if you are pure and upright, surely then he will rouse himself for you and restore your rightful habitation.

Psalms 26:8 O LORD, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory dwells.

Deuteronomy 7:6 "For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you to be a people for his treasured possession, out of all the peoples who are on the face of the earth.

Exodus 3:16 Go and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, 'The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, "I have observed you and what has been done to you in Egypt,     -“God is the All Seeing God”

Exodus 4:31 And the people believed; and when they heard that the LORD had visited the people of Israel and that he had seen their affliction, they bowed their heads and worshiped.

Luke 7:11Soon afterward he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him. 12As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her. 13And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep." 14Then he came up and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, arise." 15And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. 16Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and "God has visited his people!" 17And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country.

A new public recognition is being revealed of the Grace of God upon the vessel for their function. But the true source of their gifting and their anointing is also going to be recognized as it being God walking and speaking in their midst.

Luke 1:78because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high

***The Mercies of God release the Light to illuminate the people.

Acts 15:14 Simeon has related how God first visited the Gentiles, to take from them a people for his name.

Acts 18: 9And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, "Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, 10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people." 

Romans 9: 24even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles? 25As indeed he says in Hosea, "Those who were not my people I will call 'my people, and her who was not beloved I will call 'beloved.'" 26 "And in the very place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' there they will be called 'sons of the living God.'"

1 Peter 2:9But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

“God Is Here”    Divine Communications- Dreams- Visions- Experiences with the Lord

Genesis 22:1 After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here am I."

Genesis 46:2 And God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said, "Jacob, Jacob." And he said, "Here am I."

Luke 17:21 Nor will people say, Look! Here [it is]! or, See, [it is] there! For behold, the kingdom of God is within you [in your hearts] and among you [surrounding you].

Joshua 3:10And Joshua said, "Here is how you shall know that the living God is among you and that he will without fail drive out from before you the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Hivites, the Perizzites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, and the Jebusites.

God is a Jealous God and your enemies become God’s enemies.

Isaiah 40:9 You who bring good tidings to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who bring good tidings to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, "Here is your God!"

Firey Evangelism, Bold Preaching, Divine Favor, Divine Protection

Acts 18: 9And the Lord said to Paul one night in a vision, "Do not be afraid, but go on speaking and do not be silent, 10 for I am with you, and no one will attack you to harm you, for I have many in this city who are my people." 

Healing

Psalms 46:4There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High.

Psalms 36:8They feast on the abundance of your house, and you give them drink from the river of your delights.

Psalms 65:9You visit the earth and water it; you greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; you provide their grain, for so you have prepared it.

Revelations 22:

1Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb2through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

“They have been with Jesus”

Acts 4:13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus. 14But seeing the man who was healed standing beside them, they had nothing to say in opposition. 15But when they had commanded them to leave the council, they conferred with one another, 16saying, "What shall we do with these men? For that a notable sign has been performed through them is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 17But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name." 18So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus. 19But Peter and John answered them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, 20for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard." 21And when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people, for all were praising God for what had happened. 22For the man on whom this sign of healing was performed was more than forty years old. 23When they were released, they went to their friends and reported what the chief priests and the elders had said to them. 24And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, "Sovereign Lord, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them, 25who through the mouth of our father David, your servant, said by the Holy Spirit, "'Why did the Gentiles rage, and the peoples plot in vain? 26The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers were gathered together, against the Lord and against his Anointed'- 27for truly in this city there were gathered together against your holy servant Jesus, whom you anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, 28 to do whatever your hand and your plan had predestined to take place. 29And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your servants to continue to speak your word with all boldness, 30while you stretch out your hand to heal, and signs and wonders are performed through the name of your holy servant Jesus." 31And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness.

John 7:15The Jews therefore marveled, saying, "How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?" 46The officers answered, "No one ever spoke like this man!"

Matthew 7:29 for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes.

Luke 2:47And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers.

Luke 4:22 And all spoke well of him and marveled at the gracious words that were coming from his mouth. And they said, "Is not this Joseph’s son?"

False Worship being dealt with now by God

Acts 14:8Now at Lystra there was a man sitting who could not use his feet. He was crippled from birth and had never walked. 9He listened to Paul speaking. And Paul, looking intently at him and seeing that he had faith to be made well, 10said in a loud voice, "Stand upright on your feet." And he sprang up and began walking. 11And when the crowds saw what Paul had done, they lifted up their voices, saying in Lycaonian, "The gods have come down to us in the likeness of men!" 12Barnabas they called Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker. 13And the priest of  Zeus, whose temple was at the entrance to the city, brought oxen and garlands to the gates and wanted to offer sacrifice with the crowds. 14But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of it, they tore their garments and rushed out into the crowd, crying out, 15"Men, why are you doing these things? We also are men, of like nature with you, and we bring you good news, that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all that is in them. 16In past generations he allowed all the nations to walk in their own ways. 17Yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good by giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness." 18Even with these words they scarcely restrained the people from offering sacrifice to them.

Acts 12:20Now Herod was angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon, and they came to him with one accord, and having persuaded Blastus, the king’s chamberlain, they asked for peace, because their country depended on the king’s country for food. 21On an appointed day Herod put on his royal robes, took his seat upon the throne, and delivered an oration to them. 22And the people were shouting, "The voice of a god, and not of a man!" 23Immediately( an angel of the Lord struck him down, because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and breathed his last. 24But the word of God increased and multiplied.

The Holy Habitations are being Rebuilt

Jeremiah 33:12"Thus says the LORD of hosts: In this place that is waste, without man or beast, and in all of its cities, there shall again be habitations of shepherds resting their flocks.

Isaiah 32:18My people will abide in a peaceful habitation, insecure dwellings, and in quiet resting places.

Isaiah 33:20 Behold Zion, the city of our appointed feasts! Your eyes will see Jerusalem, an untroubled habitation, an immovable tent, whose stakes will never be plucked up, nor will any of its cords be broken.

Job 8:6 if you are pure and upright, surely then he will rouse himself for you and restore your rightful habitation.

God Is Giving Us A New Line Of Sight:    11-1-08

1. Hindsight- Perception of the significance and nature of events after they have occurred. Recognition of the realities, possibilities, or requirements of a situation, event, decision etc., after its occurrence. 

2. Insight- an instance of apprehending the true nature of a thing, esp. through intuitive understanding. Penetrating mental vision or discernment; faculty of seeing into inner character or underlying truth. 

Colossians 2: 3In Him all the treasures of [divine] wisdom (comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God) and [all the riches of spiritual] knowledge and enlightenment are stored up and lie hidden.

3. Foresight- Care or provision for the future; provident care; prudence. The act or power of foreseeing; prevision. Knowledge or insight gained by or as by looking forward; a view of the future.

Hebrews 12:15 Exercise foresight and be on the watch to look [after one another], to see that no one falls back from and fails to secure God's grace (His unmerited favor and spiritual blessing)

4. Line of sight- An imaginary straight line running through the aligned sights of a firearm, surveying equipment, etc.      A straight line connecting two points sufficiently high and near one another so that the line is entirely above the surface of the earth.

5. His Sight= Having a Single Vision- Being Singularly Minded or Hearted- Being Singularly Focused- 

Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

Colossians 3:22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh; not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but in singleness of heart, fearing God;   (Singleness of heart= A sincere heart)

God                          =               God
Jerusalem                 =               Wife
Judea                       =               Children
Samaria                   =               Church
The Earth                 =               Ministry/Harvest field
                                                                                                                                                       

A New Line of Sight.

Mature Balance in your life and in your destiny on the earth.

Singularly focused, singularly minded, singularly hearted.

Colossians 1:
9For this reason we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray and make [special] request for you, [asking] that you may be filled with the full (deep and clear) knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God] and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things
10That you may walk (live and conduct yourselves) in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him and desiring to please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing and increasing in and by the knowledge of God [with fuller, deeper, and clearer insight, acquaintance, and recognition].
28Him we preach and proclaim, warning and admonishing everyone and instructing everyone in all wisdom      (comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God), that we may present every person mature (full-grown, fully initiated, complete, and perfect) in Christ (the Anointed One).

John 5:24 "It's urgent that you listen carefully to this: Anyone here who believes what I am saying right now and aligns himself with the Father, who has in fact put me in charge, has at this very moment the real, lasting life and is no longer condemned to be an outsider. This person has taken a giant step from the world of the dead to the world of the living.

John 6:
35 Jesus said, "I am the Bread of Life. The person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever. I have told you this explicitly because even though you have seen me in action, you don't really believe me. Every person the Father gives me eventually comes running to me. And once that person is with me, I hold on and don't let go. I came down from heaven not to follow my own whim but to accomplish the will of the One who sent me.
39 "This, in a nutshell, is that will: that everything handed over to me by the Father be completed—not a single detail missed—and at the wrap-up of time I have everything and everyone put together, upright and whole. This is what my Father wants: that anyone who sees the Son and trusts who he is and what he does and then aligns with him will enter real life, eternal life. My part is to put them on their feet alive and whole at the completion of time."

Look Not To The Trial

My Children, look not to the trial in which you find yourself enveloped by, but look upon Me. That which is temporal is only passing away, but look and see the greater things that are breaking forth even this day. The former bondages cannot withstand My Hand nor can they oppose My Plans. That which was seen as hopeless to you, will actually be seen as the miracle avenue. What can withstand Me, and nullify your destiny? Nothing but you. Only you can stop what I have ordained, so choose this day to walk away free from every chain. Give Me your hand and walk fully with Me. For today I have come so that you can clearly see. 

I am bringing you into a new alignment. A new line of sight for your new assignment. That which you formerly perceived, understood, and measured by your thinking, cannot guide you into the new levels or even overcome the higher devils. You must realign your sight and stand unmovable in My Word to victoriously fight. I am bringing out into the open that which moved beneath the surface, and that which infiltrated the ranks to devour from within. Every hidden thing will suddenly take wings, as the Light penetrates even the darkest of springs. Children, it’s time for the deepest of fountains to now be released and for the floods to turn and rout the enemy. Look not to the trials but look upon Me, for I am the God that will deliver thee.

A new line of sight I do bring. New hind-sight, new in-sight, and new fore-sight will now increase for the greater fight. It is time to walk in your heavenly right, and in My Might. So, I am enlarging your capacity to divinely understand. I want you to walk in full alignment with My Plan. Heaven and earth are coming into divine alignment, bringing the clarity and wisdom to walk out the new assignment. Divine revelation and new endowment breaks forth from within, for the old natural laws’ boundaries will pale and diminish and the opposition will finally know it is finished. My Divine Life that is flowing within you, are the Rivers of Truth which will bring forth the evidence and the outward Proof. It is time that you rise up from your temporary demise and stand in the new line of sight and strengthen yourself in your God this night.

Overtaking the darkness you will be, tripping every snare, confounding every lie, and defeating every strategy of the enemy. I am opening your eyes to see the underlying wiles of the enemy. You will see to the root of that which wickedly plundered and did loot. Never again will My People bow to the threat of the whip of the taskmasters plow. I am summoning the lame, the weak, and the small, and they will humbly answer the higher call. For they see themselves as weak and they learned have to turn the other cheek. With these I can break the hard hearted ground and bring forth the destruction of the advancing enemy round. David’s Mighty Men quickly do arise, taking the dark enemy hosts by surprise. New Royal Giants emerge with the increase of My Power surge. With the flowing of the new tide, emerges the Body into the Flaming Bride. The Captain of the Lord of Hosts is He, riding victoriously at the head of His Burning Army, rejoicing as they now stand as He.

Syracuse Meeting Notes- 10-25-08

1. The Father Has Opened A Door - An Effectual Door        

(10-24-02 to 10-24-08= a 6 year NY door)  also My 4th time in Syracuse

1 Corinthians 16:8But I will tarry at Ephesus until Pentecost. 9For a great door and an effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.

Many Adversaries in Syracuse

Acts 19:9 But when some became stubborn and continued in unbelief, speaking evil of the Way before the congregation, he withdrew from them and took the disciples with him, reasoning daily in the hall of Tyrannus.

Acts 13:45 But when the Jews saw the crowds, they were filled with jealousy and began to contradict what was spoken by Paul, reviling him.

Acts 14:2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.

Syracuse Area Adversaries:

6 Principle Ruling Principalities of:

Stubbornness- Unbelief- Criticalness- Jealousy- Accusation- Division

2. A Door Of Faith

Acts 14:27And when they arrived and gathered the church together, they declared all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles.

2 Corinthians 2:12When I came to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ, even though a door was opened for me in the Lord,

Colossians 4:3At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ, on account of which I am in prison—

Romans 16: 25 Now to him who is able to strengthen you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery that was kept secret for long ages 26but has now been disclosed and through the prophetic writings has been made known to all nations, according to the command of the eternal God, to bring about the obedience of faith— 27to the only wise God be glory forevermore through Jesus Christ!

3. A Door of Hope and Liberty

Hosea 2:15And there I will give her her vineyards and make the Valley of Achor (trouble) a door of hope. And there she shall answer as in the days of her youth, as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.

Hosea 2:15 NLT I will return her vineyards to her and transform the Valley of Trouble into a gateway of hope. She will give herself to me there, as she did long ago when she was young, when I freed her from her captivity in Egypt.

4. A Door of Invitation

Matthew 22:
1AND AGAIN Jesus spoke to them in parables (comparisons, stories used to illustrate and explain), saying, 2The kingdom of heaven is like a king who gave a wedding banquet for his son 3And sent his servants to summon those who had been invited to the wedding banquet, but they refused to come. 4Again he sent other servants, saying, Tell those who are invited, Behold, I have prepared my banquet; my bullocks and my fat calves are killed, and everything is prepared; come to the wedding feast.5But they were not concerned and paid no attention [they ignored and made light of the summons, treating it with contempt] and they went away--one to his farm, another to his business, 6While the others seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and put them to death. 7[Hearing this] the king was infuriated; and he sent his soldiers and put those murderers to death and burned their city. 8Then he said to his servants, The wedding [feast] is prepared, but those invited were not worthy. 9So go to the thoroughfares where they leave the city [where the main roads and those from the country end] and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find. 10And those servants went out on the crossroads and got together as many as they found, both bad and good, so [the room in which] the wedding feast [was held] was filled with guests.

Luke 14:
16But Jesus said to him, A man was once giving a great supper and invited many; 17And at the hour for the supper he sent his servant to say to those who had been invited, Come, for all is now ready. 18But they all alike began to make excuses and to beg off. The first said to him, I have bought a piece of land, and I have to go out and see it; I beg you, have me excused. 19And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to examine and put my approval on them; I beg you, have me excused. 20And another said, I have married a wife, and because of this I am unable to come. 21So the servant came and reported these [answers] to his master. Then the master of the house said in wrath to his servant, Go quickly into the great streets and the small streets of the city and bring in here the poor and the disabled and the blind and the lame. 22And the servant [returning] said, Sir, what you have commanded me to do has been done, and yet there is room. 23Then the master said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges and urge and constrain [them] to yield and come in, so that my house may be filled. 24For I tell you, not one of those who were invited shall taste my supper.

5. A Door of Healing:

Ezekiel 47:1 NLT [ The River of Healing ] In my vision, the man brought me back to the entrance of the Temple. There I saw a stream flowing east from beneath the door of the Temple and passing to the right of the altar on its south side. 2 The man brought me outside the wall through the north gateway and led me around to the eastern entrance. There I could see the water flowing out through the south side of the east gateway. 3 Measuring as he went, he took me along the stream for 1,750 feet and then led me across. The water was up to my ankles. 4 He measured off another 1,750 feet and led me across again. This time the water was up to my knees. After another 1,750 feet, it was up to my waist. 5 Then he measured another 1,750 feet, and the river was too deep to walk across. It was deep enough to swim in, but too deep to walk through. 6 He asked me, “Have you been watching, son of man?” Then he led me back along the riverbank. 7 When I returned, I was surprised by the sight of many trees growing on both sides of the river. 8 Then he said to me, “This river flows east through the desert into the valley of the Dead Sea. The waters of this stream will make the salty waters of the Dead Sea fresh and pure. 9 There will be swarms of living things wherever the water of this river flows. Fish will abound in the Dead Sea, for its waters will become fresh. Life will flourish wherever this water flows. 10 Fishermen will stand along the shores of the Dead Sea. All the way from En-gedi to En-eglaim, the shores will be covered with nets drying in the sun. Fish of every kind will fill the Dead Sea, just as they fill the Mediterranean.11 But the marshes and swamps will not be purified; they will still be salty. 12 Fruit trees of all kinds will grow along both sides of the river. The leaves of these trees will never turn brown and fall, and there will always be fruit on their branches. There will be a new crop every month, for they are watered by the river flowing from the Temple. The fruit will be for food and the leaves for healing.”

5 Levels of the River.

2. Knee Level

3. Waist Level

4. Shoulders Level

5. Walking on top of the River, as Christ

Matthew 14: NLT
22Immediately after this, Jesus insisted that his disciples get back into the boat and cross to the other side of the lake, while he sent the people home. 23 After sending them home, he went up into the hills by himself to pray. Night fell while he was there alone. 24 Meanwhile, the disciples were in trouble far away from land, for a strong wind had risen, and they were fighting heavy waves. 25 About three o’clock in the morning Jesus came toward them, walking on the water. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the water, they were terrified. In their fear, they cried out, “It’s a ghost!” 27 But Jesus spoke to them at once. “Don’t be afraid,” he said. “Take courage. I am here!” 28 Then Peter called to him, “Lord, if it’s really you, tell me to come to you, walking on the water.” 29 “Yes, come,” Jesus said. So Peter went over the side of the boat and walked on the water toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the strong wind and the waves, he was terrified and began to sink. “Save me, Lord!” he shouted. 31 Jesus immediately reached out and grabbed him. “You have so little faith,” Jesus said. “Why did you doubt me?” 32 When they climbed back into the boat, the wind stopped.

(It's time to get out of the religious boat and begin to walk on the waters of the Spirit with Christ. The natural laws are suspended under your feet, they have no bearing to your walk, your walk is supernatural.) 

Adversity sifts the flesh and reveals the level of faith

33 Then the disciples worshiped him. “You really are the Son of God!” they exclaimed. 34 After they had crossed the lake, they landed at Gennesaret. 35 When the people recognized Jesus, the news of his arrival spread quickly throughout the whole area, and soon people were bringing all their sick to be healed. 36 They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed.

Gennesaret = Garden of the prince   

(The Invitation to enter the Garden and to your Healing)

Genesis 2:9 And out of the ground the LORD God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life was in the midst of the garden, and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Revelations 22:2 through the middle of the street of the city; also, on either side of the river, the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit each month. The leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

You are also that Tree of Fruitfulness and Healing

Psalms 1:3He is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. In all that he does, he prospers.

Jeremiah 17:8 He is like a tree planted by water, that sends out its roots by the stream, and does not fear when heat comes, for its leaves remain green, and is not anxious in the year of drought, for it does not cease to bear fruit."

A Door has opened tonight in Syracuse. A Great Effectual Door.

A Door of Hope. A Door of Faith. A Door of Life. A Door of Healing.

The Adverasires cannot prevent you from walking through the open door anymore. They are defeated, because you are now rightly seated!

Move On!!
