Time to tarry…to wait and watch…

Now summer days are arriving with lots more time spent outdoors and less at the desk, this published by Veronika on Tuesday morning makes an ace kick-start for doing so, especially being on the theme of time spent waiting and watching – and getting close to the Lord:

Here by courtesy of His Kingdom Prophecy (click title for link):

IT’S TIME TO RAISE THE SAILS OF EXPECTATION

Those who wait and tarry will be caught up and carried by The Seven Spirit Winds of Restoration and Acceleration in the days ahead — only those who wait and tarry!

Friends, ministering unto God must proceed ministering unto men. Intimacy with The Father must proceed influence with men!

Intimacy builds the foundation to carry Revelation. The deeper the foundation of your Intimacy with God, the greater the Revelation that foundation is able to handle.

Shallow foundations can only carry shallow Revelation!

While in Prayer early this morning, I became aware that while I was waiting and tarrying in The Presence, there was coming an impartation of Divine Restoration and Acceleration over my life — but also over The Nations I have been carrying in my spirit of late.

The Nations of Africa were suddenly highlighted to me again a few days ago, and even as I was waiting and tarrying for The Nations of Africa, I heard these Words,

”Those who wait and tarry will come into Divine Restoration and Acceleration in this hour!

Those who wait will be taken higher, further and deeper.

Ask not for open doors, but hunger for deeper dimensions, for out of the deep will come the strategies for overcoming the powers of darkness.

I say to you, I will give you the treasures of darkness, riches stored in Secret Places, so that you may “know” that I AM The LORD — The God of Israel — yes! Who has summoned ‘you’ by name!

Watch! For the sake of Jacob My Servant, of Israel My Chosen, I summon you ‘by name’ and bestow upon you a title of honour among Nations, though you do not acknowledge Me!”

As I heard The Spirit speak, suddenly I felt a mighty rushing wind in the realm of The Spirit and I heard a sound coming from deep within the winds of The Spirit — the sound of The Roar of The Seven Spirits of God — the sound of Distinction — the sound of Awakening — the sound of the Birthing of Sheep Nations. And I heard these Words,

”I have called you to come out from among them! I call you Mine!

I call you a Marked People and a Marked Place!

Watch — for Goshen nations shall rise in the midst of the darkness — thin places of Divine Encounter and Supernatural Power.

Watch — for The Whirlwind of My Seven Spirits shall move to gather up and scatter abroad.

I say, now comes the Grace for Restoration!

Now comes the Grace for Acceleration!

Behold, a Door stands before The Nations in The Valley of Decision.

A Door of Reformation stands before Prodigal Nations!

I say, come up here! Come up higher! Come to The Altar! Return and Repent — for the fatted calf has been prepared and a Banqueting Table of Reconciliation has been prepared in the presence of your enemies.”

Suddenly The Spirit of Revelation whispered to me, ”A catch-up wind of My Spirit now comes to those who wait and tarry. A mighty Seven Wind of Restoration and Acceleration now comes to those who wait and tarry!”

I heard The Spirit say, ”Watch — for now I AM releasing a ‘catch-up wind’ that will lift and carry the weary.

Yes! A catch-up wind of My Spirit that will bring a great Acceleration and Momentum to those who have been weighed down and heavy burdened.

Ha! Watch! As My Catch-up Winds begin to blows forth in this hour!

A supernatural Wind that will take My People fast forward into the future plans and purposes I have for them — a catch-up Wind that will cause that grip of the spirit of delay to be broken, and the heavy yoke of the oppressor to be lifted from their necks.

I say, it’s time to raise The Sails of Expectation! For the catch-up Winds are now blowing! The hour of Radical Hope is here!”

Blessings to you all.

UK prophet confirms ‘word’ heard on End-times shakings!

Posted on by

When a friend asked my opinion of the transcript below, I was pleasantly surprised  to find that pastor Christopher Wickland confirms two personal prominent prophetic items, as shared in my Footnote below.

First however, let’s recall the importance of precedence of authority in the Holy Spirit gifting of prophecy, as follows:

  1. Bible End-times Prophecies
  2. Modern, contemporary prophecy
  3. Opinion, comment and discussion.

The following auto-generated transcript (hence continuous text) copied into Facebook, is kindly provided by Susie Pope to Prophetic Releasers for UK Revival and I’ve added a few sub-heads for ease-of-reference.

Note that this is a lengthy conversational presentation rather formal discourse.

CHRIS WICKLAND – COLLAPSE OF POLITICS, ECONOMIES AND CHURCH, PLUS WARS

“My name is Pastor Chris Wickland and I want to share with you some visions and dreams the Lord has given me a long time ago that I’ve never shared publicly with anybody but I feel now is the time to do so and it’s pertaining to things regarding the End of the Age which is not quite yet, but we’ll be soon and I’ll I’ll unpack that and explain that. So today’s date is the 15th of February 2023. Continue reading →

How ‘jigsaw piece’ on Romans 1 & 2 plugs into prophecy-related news (GPS #96.3)

Posted on by
Reply

The first part of GPS #96 recounts how I was stunned by the timing of invisible jigsaw-pieces of scripture and events, including a video and timing of a prophetic word therein and its connection into another verse. In closing, I mention already putting more pieces  that had fallen into place.

I apologise if thus far has been rather puzzling, but this part will clarify the picture – much like completing a real jigsaw-puzzle. In GPS #96.1 we looked at 5 pieces but maybe not realised how they fit together, and especially into unspecified others.

The third puzzle-piece was Tim Shey’s comment to A ‘Biblical’ Operation, not just national but a global clear-out! about an Elijah Streams interview, to which he gave a link. The title struck me strongly as we’re at the 7th anniversary of my blogging on exposures of political rot as a result of a prophetical prompting on reading about investigations being started into presidential candidate Donald Trump’s finances!

Moreover, that has now come to the boil in Congress over interference in the 2020  presidential election in last week’s posts eg. Overdue Unravelling of Global Cabal’s Conspiracy, followed by this week’s publication of Special Counsel John Durham’s Report into the FBI’s role in the Russia-collusion hoax.

I’m well aware of the preferred practice of bringing prophecy that is encouraging and uplifting, especially so for the church and believers, and Saturday’s group discussion on Paul’s injunction in Romans 2 to avoid judging others who are heavily into sin described in Romans 1.  (Yet his caveat is to those believers who still practise those deep sins.)

Nevertheless, I was considering whether or not my blogging stance is correct and of the Lord. But as well as the confirmatory title of puzzle-piece 3 (as shown below) bringing an endorsement of exposures, it also gave specific confirmation of my being on the right track:

Click here to play video in a new window. This fascinating interview begins at 6:00 mins  but we’re particularly interested in the ‘God-incidental’ start time at 11:33 (ie. matching Wednesday’s Verse of the Day, Romans 11:33, as in GPS #96.1). Here Andrew refers to having asked the Lord on New Years’ Eve 2020 about the upcoming year.

“That night I did have a dream; it was the morning of January 1st (and in which) I stood before a gathering of Christian believers (and) addressed them saying, “I am so thankful that God has heard my prayer (which was the night before) asking for His word on 2020, for the Lord has given me things that we need to know will BEGIN in 2020.”

So notice it wasn’t “will be fulfilled” but “will begin” in 2020. (In the dream) I looked down in my hands and realised I’d been give a piece of paper…and began to read aloud what was written on the paper. I began by saying, “This list was given me by the Lord in a dream”…. 

A brief discussion ensues between Steve and Andrew and at 35:00 he continues, “Then I began to read what was given me on the paper but first I said,

“God will begin to reveal Himself in a manner that modern Christianity is not too familiar or comfortable with, for He will begin to show Himself as Judge and the God of Wrath!

Judgements against the works of darkness and those unyielding from their evil are coming!”

That’s what I said in the dream. At this point in the dream I understood that much more would be unfolded to the Church about the nature of The Judge. I also knew that this manifestation of God’s nature was key – and this is interesting to me – His nature as Judge and God of Wrath is KEY to seeing the fullness of Revival and Awakening come into the earth.

I was reminded that scripture says ‘For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, to destroy the works of the devil’, but in the dream I knew that revelation of God’s nature would be employed to destroy the works of the devil. [RB: 1 John 3:8]

Next, I continued to read what was written on the piece of paper in my hand:

A new prophetic era is upon us and the balance of prophecy is going to shift. Much of the emphasis in the prophetic has been positive…I said, “God is always good, but not always positive!…In this new era general and vague prophecies will give way to specific words of revelation that will carry authority to release life AND death – in this prophetic era prophets will restore the terror and the Fear of God back into the earth!!”

Steve reacts, “Wow, restore the Terror and fear of God – that’s not something you read every day!”

CONCLUSION

Thus, we have a double confirmation of the importance of Romans 1 reference to God’s Wrath, as given by Andrew’s prophetic dream and its actual timing which got confirmed 5 days later in Verse of the Day being Romans 11:33 – and we had 5 ‘jigsaw-pieces’!

Romans 1 & 2 as essential ‘jigsaw’ pieces (GPS #96.2)

Posted on by
Reply

Further to GPS #96.1 and before considering the ‘God-incidental’ video as the second piece, we must check this first piece of the ‘invisible jigsaw’ – the scripture discussed at last Saturday’s Men’s Breakfast group in Haslemere, Surrey, in the first two chapters of Apostle Paul’s letter to the early church in Rome:

God’s Wrath on Unrighteousness

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and  unrighteousness of men, who [d]suppress the truth in unrighteousness,  19 because what may be known of God is [e]manifest [f]in them, for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and [g]Godhead, so that they are without excuse, 21 because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like [h]corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their [i]women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the [j]men, leaving the natural use of the [k]woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, [l]sexual immorality, wickedness, [m]covetousness, [n]maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, 30 backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 [o]undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, [p]unforgiving, unmerciful; 32 who,  knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

God’s Righteous Judgement 

[Chapter 2]  Therefore you are inexcusable, O man, whoever you are who judge, for in whatever you judge another you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things. 2 But we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against those who practice such things. 3 And do you think this, O man, you who judge those practicing such things, and doing the same, that you will escape the judgment of God? 4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance and long-suffering,  not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance? 5 But in accordance with your hardness and your [a]impenitent heart you are [b]treasuring up for yourself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, 6 who “will render to each one according to his deeds”: 7 eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality; 8 but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness—indignation and wrath, 9 tribulation and anguish, on every soul of man who does evil, of the Jew first and also of the [c]Greek; 10 but glory, honor, and peace to everyone who works what is good, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. 11 For there is no partiality with God.

12 For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law 13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; 14 for when Gentiles, who do not have the law, by nature do the things in the law, these, although not having the law, are a law to themselves, 15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them) 16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel….

Stunned by ‘Invisible Jigsaw’ of Scripture re prophecies and news (GPS #96.1)

Posted on by

WWW > WOWEE! WOTTA WEDNESDAY!!!

Awaking today as dawn was breaking I remain awestruck at having been hit by pieces in The Lord’s Invisible Jigsaw, so I ask Him what’s going on. Inwardly in my mind and spirit I hear and sense,

“EVERYTHING IS FALLING INTO PLACE AS IT SHOULD!” 

So, we can rest assured that events ARE all going to plan, HIS plan!

Kindly bear with me in this personal journal. It’s been quite a while since I’ve been in a shower of His jigsaw pieces falling as though the Lord uses a GPS or Global Prophecy Signalling system!  It’s like being hit by huge invisible mind-blowing hailstones

Yesterday, Wednesday, began with sharing this from BibleGateway on Richard’s Watch Telegram.  Little did I know how the Lord’s plans would unwrap within hours! [NO, timing of this post shown below wasn’t pre-arranged, I assure you!]

In its quoting Romans, I was reminded about a ‘coincidence’ last weekend regarding that letter’s first two chapters being discussed in depth at Saturday Men’s Breakfast.

I’d intended telling my brothers in Christ about it via our Whats App group but, having other priorities, had forgotten. However, yesterday’s Verse for Today reminded me but first I needed to check that God-incidence by re-running the relevant section of video.

BUT I got hit between the eyes! My mind got blown by the sheer synchronicity!

WHY?

The TIME OF DAY on the video MIRRORED THE VERSE OF THE DAY > 11:33!!

The video was streamed last Friday 12th May, whereas the verse was published 5 days later on Wednesday 17th May!

HOW THE PIECES FELL INTO PLACE:

  1. Saturday’s study was to continue from Romans 1:18, but although we read aloud from there into chapter 2, our leader focused on Romans 2. Note: My NKJV Bible sub-heads these respectively ‘God’s Wrath On Unrighteousness’ and ‘God’s Righteous Judgement’.
  2. Sunday, I read and reply to comment from Tim Shey in Idaho posted late Friday with a link to Elijah Streams meeting streamed online that day,
  3. Tim wants me to see a short part and provides a time-mark, but to get a feel for the topic I start watching a few minutes earlier BUT am stunned to hear the guest speaker in USA refer to how the Lord is moving in accordance with His character as described in the scripture studied on Saturday at our group in England – the wrath and justice of God!
  4. I got delayed in sharing this until 3 days later when seeing that day’s verse from Romans and relating to events I’ve been blogging on.
  5. Late yesterday afternoon Chris Moyler urges his Telegram friends to watch that very video: **PLEASE!!!** DON’T MISS THIS! Andrew makes one important point after another, concerning the purpose and direction of modern-day prophecy.”

However, more invisible jigsaw pieces had already fallen and I was putting them into place. As they’re relevant to prophecies that are in process of fulfillment we’ll consider that aspect further in the second part of this GPS signal the Lord has sent…

Reminder to King Charles III of his solemn pledge

Posted on by

Published herein 9 September 2022.

On the King’s Coronation I pray that Almighty Father, Son and Holy Spirit protect the King from the evil one, all its schemes and human slaves and unclean spirits, and come powerfully upon him, his family and Archbishop Welby. May each be Your truly born-again servants who fully adhere to Your Holy Scriptures. Amen.

Now, the original post:

NOTE THIS GOOD NEWS IN THE NEW KING’S OFFICIAL ADDRESS – PRAISE YOU LORD!

King Charles proclaims his Christian faith.

My Solemn Pledge:

“The role and the duties of monarchy also remain, as does the Sovereign’s particular relationship and responsibility towards the Church of England – the Church in which my own faith is so deeply rooted.

“In that faith, and the values it inspires, I have been brought up to cherish a sense of duty to others, and to hold in the greatest respect the precious traditions, freedoms and responsibilities of our unique history and our system of parliamentary government.

“As the Queen herself did with such unswerving devotion, I too now solemnly pledge myself, throughout the remaining time God grants me, to uphold the constitutional principles at the heart of our nation.

“And wherever you may live in the United Kingdom, or in the realms and territories across the world, and whatever may be your background or beliefs, I shall endeavour to serve you with loyalty, respect and love, as I have throughout my life…”

Extract taken from transcript provided by Sky News from their video of the Address, as shown at

https://news.sky.com/story/king-charles-iiis-first-address-to-the-nation-the-full-transcript-12693814

We pray that, as for his mother the Queen, King Charles will be anointed with holy oil during his coronation and that Holy Spirit bring him into full true repentance and enable the new king to be a real disciple of our Lord Jesus Christ and leave behind all activities and schemes contrary to the Kingdom of God. That is, a full renunciation of the works of satan.

The Lord’s warning to false prophet ‘Em-Pyre’ builders – Veronika West

Posted on by

Veronika posted on Wednesday on Facebook’s Ignite Ireland Ministries a warning of exposure with churches:

As on His Kingdom Prophecy as:

A WARNING TO THE EM-PYRE BUILDERS

God is dealing swiftly and severely with an em-pyre spirit that seeks to build defiled altars in his name!

The Journey of the Prophets of God into the place of Full Maturity is paved with many pitfalls and temptations.

These potential pitfalls are often times orchestrated by the enemy, but some, in my experience, have been purposefully designed and even allowed by God, not only to reveal a greater depth of the True Character of God, to keep us solely dependent upon Him, to confront our heart motives and fleshly desires, but also to expose the cracks in the foundations on which we building.

If those foundation cracks are not quickly dealt with, the entire structure will become compromised and soon come crashing down round about us.

So yesterday while I was praying concerning the Prophetic Movement at present, suddenly I heard The Spirit speak these Words, ”Daughter! Many are “em-pyre” building!

Yes! I say again, many are “em-pyre” building! For Satan has blinded their eyes to the deception of the devourer that is helping them to build.

Watch, for I tell you the Truth, Satan will help them build, only to watch them fall and never recover.

Listen and pay attention, for in this next season, Strange Fires will burn, and their man-made em-pyres shall go up in smoke!”

As I heard The Spirit speak those Words, I felt The Spirit of The Fear of The LORD come into the room, and again I heard The Spirit say, ”Watch! For I shall deal with the em-pyre spirit that is at work in My Church.

No longer will I tolerate contaminated waters, for I will expose, uncover and strip naked those who seek to build for themselves em-pyres in My Holy Name!”

Note; A pyre (Ancient Greek: πυρά, romanized: purá; from πῦρ (pûr) ‘fire’),…also known as a funeral pyre, is a structure, usually made of wood, for burning bodies as part of a funeral rite or execution. As a form of cremation, a body is placed upon or under the pyre, which is then set on fire….!

Blessings to you all.

A post-Resurrection miracle as a ‘mystery’ now revealed – part 2

Posted on by

[First published 2018]

His disciples came to Jesus and said, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” and He replied, “Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given. For whoever has, to him (and her) more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. Therefore, I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand…” (Matthew 13:10-13 NKJV)

Definition: ‘Mystery’, Greek musterion (moos-tay-ree-on; Strongs #3466). From mueo, “to initiate into the mysteries”, hence a secret known only to the initiated, something hidden requiring special revelation. In the NT the word denotes something that people could never know by their own understanding and that demands a revelation from God. The secret thoughts, plans and dispensations of God remain hidden from unregenerate mankind, but are revealed to all believers. In non-biblical Greek musterion is knowledge withheld, concealed or silenced. In biblical Greek it is truth revealed (Col 1:26). NT musterion focuses upon Christ’s sinless life, atoning death, powerful resurrection and dynamic ascension.’ [New Spirit-Filled Study Bible]
Prophecy: “2018: I will impart to My Prophets the ability to see clearly My Numbers…” (delivered by Leisa Ebere).

The above, ancient meaning of ‘mystery’ is rarely understood and appreciated, even by those solidly grounded in scripture. As told in my testimony, my pre-Christian life got immersed in that esoteric knowledge, and so I’m experienced in this matter and can attest that the difference between that discipline and holy revelations from the Almighty is like the contrast between His Light and the devil’s darkness.

MATHEMATICIANS’ MYSTERIES

Roger Penrose, “The Road to Reality: A Complete Guide to the Laws of the Universe”, Knopf (2005)

Therefore, the modern definition of ‘mystery’ as an unsolved puzzle, or something difficult or impossible to explain is comparatively trite!

Even the eminent mathematician-physicist Sir Roger Penrose tends toward a circumscribed perception of reality when using this term, as quoted and discussed in RTU’s Three Worlds, Three Mysteries.

According to its author Joseph, Penrose posits the existence of three “realms” existing around us and “which brings three mysteries” that raise interesting questions on how the world should be viewed. These realms are the physical, mental and Platonic mathematical worlds.

Of course, such hypothetical mysteries cannot equal the much deeper ‘mystery’ of revelatory scripture! Yet in positing that mathematical entities don’t belong in space or time and are eternal and unchanging, Penrose is approaching our understanding of the mathematical aspects of the Bible. His recent thoughts upon consciousness originating at a quantum level may approach ideas I’ve broached in the convergence of science and scripture.

JESUS POINTS TO MATHS

Continuing from Part 1 on Apostle John’s account of the miraculous provision of 153 large fish and the re-blog of New Zealander Joanne Rolston’s posts on it, we learn that she asked Jesus direct on why such specific details are noted. Let me quote some pertinent parts of her highly personal account:

“I asked the Lord about the meaning of the 153 fish in John 21:10, and I was given a maths answer. Amazingly I grasped the explanation. Having to learn statistics in order to get my Diploma of Business helped. I had to overcome a lot to learn the math behind statistics…(including) my loathing for maths. Fortunately, I have a very patient husband who helped me with the mechanics of maths in statistics.

“But I kept complaining to God. “Why do I have to learn this?” I protested, “We’re never going to use it in our business!”

“Make friends with maths” the Lord told me. Not reconcile myself to maths, not become acquainted with maths; He wanted me to believe I could learn maths and take an interest in it! It was a big ask. In a Father’s instruction, He says;

“Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.” (Proverbs 4:7)

So we read that Joanne progressed and mentions Factorial numbers and Venn diagrams as being the first things she learned in statistics. These were the basis of all the wonderful things she was later shown about that ‘action replay’ fishing trip by seven of Jesus’ disciples.

She succinctly explains the unusual significance of the 153 fish by maths of factorials and square root of the third prime number (3), as well as geometrical constructions and proofs in diagrammatic forms, PLUS their relevance to the triune relationship of God, Christ and mankind.

Now examine these facts more closely and delve deeper into the ‘mysteries of the kingdom’:

That historic catch’s mathematical meaning is a surprising shock to we moderns but, in the immense sweep of history, such intellectual knowledge was a relatively ‘recent’ development to those living in the inter-Testamental times of the Graeco-Roman world. The principal propositions, or theories and proofs, of geometry had been compiled by Euclid of Alexandria about 300 years before Jesus’ life. To give us some perspective, this is the same period since the accession of George I (1714) and the appearance of John and Charles Wesley to lead a major evangelical revival, from which was born the fourth largest church denomination in England, Methodism (in Oxford, 1729).

Fascinating Fact: the first proposition of Euclid’s Elements of Geometry is to construct an equilateral (three sides of equal length) triangle by describing a Vesica Piscis (known as ‘Vessel of Fish’!) with a pair of compasses. It’s done by drawing one circle and then a second one exactly the same size, but with its centre on the circumference of the first.

The common, overlapping area looks like a canoe and the ratio of its length to width is 265:153, which closely approximates the square root of 3 as calculated by Archimedes of Syracuse.

All three symbols, triangle and circles with intersecting segment, feature in the ‘mystery’ of the 153 fish – note the use of equilateral triangle as this will be considered another time:

It’s noteworthy that John closes his Gospel account of Jesus’ main post-Resurrection appearances with this most tantalising morsel:

‘And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.’ (John 20:30)

That statement lodged indelibly within my soul when a teenager and I determined to set on a quest to discover the fullness of Jesus’ work. A lifetime later, I learn that ‘seal’ sets the scene for the last chapter’s account of the amazing fishing expedition. That is, it is a clear signpost of the next and final miracle’s deep significance to the early Church.

UNLOCKING THE SIGN MIRACLES OF JOHN – SIGN 8: 153 FISH

Jonathan R Hill, whose above-titled book explains how ‘pi’, the mathematical ratio of circumference and diameter of every circle is found in Genesis 1:1, and that of ‘e‘ (base of natural logarithmic and base rate of growth in all growing processes), are found in John 1:1, devotes a full chapter to ‘Sign 8’, the miraculous catch of 153 fish.

Consider this summary of his main points on Sign 8:

  • It is the 8th ‘sign’ miracle recorded by John and found in his book only. First and only post-Resurrection sign-miracle and last of the eight, thus reflecting the divinity of Jesus as ‘first and last’ and the ‘alpha and omega’! (I now recall hearing Him tell me during a ministry-team prayer, “I Am Alpha and Omega” – watch for more on this later.)
  • Time and death represented in this succession by number 7 is followed by 8, the number of resurrection (a new beginning, as blogged in January), underscored by 8 resurrections in scripture other than that of Jesus.
  • Jesus’ command to cast nets from the other side of the boat, the right, symbolises and prefigures God visiting the Gentiles and taking a people for His name.
  • The Greek word ‘ekklesia’ translated as ‘church’ means nothing more than ‘called out of’. Thus, the fish being caught out of the sea reflect the characteristic of the Gentile church as those who are ‘called out of’ the world.
  • 153 is of considerable mathematical and typological significance and represents the fullness of the Gentiles.
  • Key composites of 153 are 7 (spiritual perfection), 10 (numerical completeness) and 9 (finality) because (7+10) x 9 = 153 (= 9 x 17).

Jonathan makes many more deep connections between scriptures and Sign 8 and their importance to the Church and the Consummation of the Age. Building upon the 17-rowed triangle of the number 153 displayed in Jo-Blog’s Go Fish, this is how Jonathan describes this mathematical principle (drag to enlarge, noting number 153 forms an equilateral triangle of sides 17 x 17 x 17):

CONCLUSION

From this brief overview of well-researched data we can confidently conclude that the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven include mathematical principles as an important part of its transcendental wisdom. Selah!

A post-Resurrection miracle as a ‘mystery’ now revealed – part 1

[First published 2018]

Not long after Father God brought Jesus the Messiah back from the dead by His Spirit, the One who’s the radiance of His glory went once again in search of His ex-fisherman friends. Of the two sets of brothers who’d been partners in the fishing trade on the Sea of Galilee before deserting their nets to follow a peripatetic teacher, their boss had an exceptionally severe crisis of self-confidence.

GONE FISHING!

So this ‘son of Jonah’, named Simon, decided to return to the simple life of sitting in a boat with buddies and dragging a net in the hope of getting a catch – but it proved to be an exercise in futility!

A few years earlier on that inland sea, the four fishing partners encountered and had been ‘called’ by The One to follow Him. Jesus amazed the crowds there with His teaching and had asked Simon if He could address them from his moored boat. Jesus knew the men had worked hard all night without having caught anything because, when He’d finished speaking, He told Simon to sail into deep water and lower his nets despite the fruitless night – Simon was overwhelmed by the result!  They’d got such a large number of fish that another boat was called for – then both began to sink with their massive weight!!

So Simon changed his tune. Upon hearing Jesus’ instruction he’d objected because of the poor night, yet respectfully referred to Him as “Master” – but in amazement at the fresh catch breaking nets and sinking boats, Simon addressed Him with the superior term of “Lord”; thus suggesting he was beginning to understand the status of this astonishing teacher. In the account by one of those partners, John, they’d previously met Jesus immediately after His baptism in the river Jordan and Andrew had brought his brother Simon to see Jesus, who then spoke of his identity and implicit destiny, “You are Simon son of Jonah. You shall be called Cephas,” (which is translated ‘A Stone’, Petros/Peter: John 1:42).

After that huge catch of unspecified quantity, Jesus called Simon into his destiny: “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men!”  That is, a fisher of men. When they’d landed their boats the four forsook all and followed Him (Luke 5:10-11).

This event would be replayed later but at a higher level when, once again, Simon will be caught by surprise! But before that, the four fishermen disciples were to become part of the twelve chosen as ‘Apostles’, who were given power and authority (Matt 10:2). And Simon was to have a personal revelation of Jesus’ real identity. He blurted out “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God,” to which Jesus responded, “Blessed are you Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you but My Father who is in heaven. I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.” Also, he was further blessed to see Jesus’ transfiguration and hear Father speak about His beloved Son and instruct Peter, James and John to heed Him (Matt 16 and Matt 17).

Yet this same Peter later earned a severe rebuke from Jesus because, in his devotion, he was shocked upon hearing Jesus speak of His destined execution and in dismay he spoke against God’s plans!  AND then, when that dreadful event transpired, poor Peter was distraught during Jesus’ trial to hear himself thrice deny his association with Him! Even so, he was again blessed when Jesus visited, instructed and commissioned the Twelve (minus Judas the betrayer) after His miraculous resurrection from the dead.

However, Peter must have considered his thrice-denial would cost him dearly in losing his standing with his Lord. Hence, a critical crisis of self-confidence for Peter.

So, why not go back to fishing – and far away from Jerusalem?  His ex-fisherman friend John records Simon Peter as having told him and five others – seven in total – he was going fishing – and they replied, “We’re going with you!” (John 21:2-3).  In fact, Peter was heading into his own resurrection: that of his own self-worth, identity and calling!

ACTION REPLAY

John continues: ‘They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing. But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know it was Jesus. Then Jesus said to them, “Children have you any food?” They answer Him, “No” and He said to them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” So they cast, and were not able to draw it in because of the multitude of fish…

DSCF3144

‘Then as soon as they came to land they saw a fire of coals there and fish laid on it, and bread (Note:) Jesus said to them “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” Simon Peter went up and dragged the net to land, full of large fish, one hundred and fifty-three, and although there were so many, the net was not broken.’

Believing readers will be very familiar with the wonderful reinstatement of Peter.  When John recognised who the man on the beach was he told Peter and, being determined to be back with Him, Peter donned his outer garment and dived fully clothed into the water and swam about 100 meters to shore.

This dear man, so like all of us as imperfect disciples, is asked thrice if he loves the Lord much more than his fellow disciples – that is, with ‘agape’ love: the unconditional, unconquerable, benevolent goodwill, as given by the Father and Jesus. Peter, rescinds and over-rights his previous thrice-denial to profess a less emphatic love (‘phileo’) that he knows he can give. In repeating His question at that lower level Jesus accepts but tests his profession further, thus giving him a threefold commission to be His under-shepherd.

[Note: ‘agape’, a word to which Christianity gave a new meaning, for outside the NT it rarely occurs in existing Greek manuscripts of the period. It means a love by choice and refers to will, rather than ‘phileo’, a brotherly love by chance and emotion – New Spirit-Filled Study Bible.]

HE IS RISEN! – Time and Quantum effects in Jesus’ Resurrection

Posted on by

First published in the early years of this blog and annually thereafter for blessing new readers:

In preparation for the Holy-days’ weekend Nina creates a tableau for contemplating Jesus Christ’s death and resurrection. She’s inspired about what items to collect and arrange, usually including a rock with a central hole eroded by the sea and which we found on a beach. It serves as both the ‘skull’ and garden tomb of Golgotha. For example, the above display has a scarf as a ‘river of life’ flowing out of the empty cave/tomb below the cross. (In 2012 it gave an insight that I’ll share below.)

Maundy Thursday is celebrated as the night when Jesus and the lead-disciples ate an early Passover Seder, or meal (see video explanation). Following the meal, one disciple betrayed Him by leading Temple guards to capture Him at night for trial by a ‘kangaroo’ court of Jewish leaders. It was a foregone conclusion that they’d demand authorisation of His death from Pontius Pilate, the Roman Prefect, or governor, of Judea.

If you’re unfamiliar with this true story and how it led to Jesus’ gruesome torture, death and burial followed by his amazing bodily resurrection and appearance to His disciples, read doctor Luke’s investigative account and the personal account of Jesus’ closest disciple John. (Later, a Jewish leader violently opposed to them but who encountered Jesus en-route to Damascus would write He was seen simultaneously by over 500 – read 1 Corinthians 15:6)

HEAVEN & HUMAN HISTORIES’ PIVOTAL TIME

Jesus Christ died so that each of us may be forgiven for our sins. As a result of this new status, we can have direct personal access to Almighty God when we believe in Jesus Christ. As the Son of God, Jesus suffered on our behalf as our ‘scapegoat’. That is, Jesus took the place of death that we deserved because of our sinfulness, for the shedding of a sinless one’s blood was the only way our status could be changed for us to gain personal salvation. Apostle Paul put it thus to the Romans:

8But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him! 10 For if, while we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to Him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through His life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. (Romans 5:8-11, NIV, see whole chapter.)

Now, when I was a new Christian I found that rather hard to understand – but it works! The theological term is ‘atonement’, or ‘substitutionary atonement’. In bringing forgive-ness to the guilty, however, this can cause deep problems for those who’ve been the victim of crimes. After all, why should a killer find forgiveness by God? And what about the victim’s families, or the victim of abuse? They find it very hard if well-nigh impossible to forgive.

In 2012 I heard a Portsmouth prison chaplain address this issue with a concept taken from the criminal justice system: restorative justice. This involves an active dialogue between victim and offender, plus reparation. And it has a sound basis in theology. How?

Jesus was a guiltless victim, directly of those who wanted Him killed, and indirectly of everyone’s ‘fallen state’ of sinfulness, which could only be rectified by His death.

And Almighty God, the Father, is a victim too. How? He’s victim of humanity’s rebellion against Him. For example and especially over the way religious leaders murdered His son – how they seethed with rage when Jesus denounced them! (read Luke 20:9-19). So, every victim can find an identity and affinity in both God and Jesus Christ in their situation. Hence, they can receive God’s own ability to forgive because He will help them choose to forgive those who’ve harmed them. [Lack of forgiveness may be the only thing that hampers God – see Matt 6:14-15]

A TABLEAU IN TIME

During contemplation upon the tableau illustrated above, an insight dropped into mind that the Resurrection created a distinct point in the flow of, or perhaps even a change in, Time itself. That is, the now termed ‘common era’ calendar is the medieval Christian one that counts years from the approximate birth of Christ as ‘anno Domini’. But in fact, a more powerful one would be the point at which things in heaven changed and thus affected our lives on earth and its ultimate role in God’s scheme of creation. This took place at the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, His revival to life from death itself.

That such a concept may be valid can be found in the discoveries about the material of ‘The Shroud of Turin’, the shroud in which Jesus was thought to have been carried and covered during His interment. It is of most astounding significance when examined from the view-point of modern physics.

Apart from the supra-natural or spiritual aspect, that unique, singular event could have naturally happened by means of a ‘singularity’ (a theoretical gravitational effect associated with ‘black holes’, eg. as may have been the starting point of the creation of the universe, or ‘Big Bang’).

Don’t take my word for this but consider that of Dame Isabel Piczek (deceased 2016), famous as a monumental artist and award-winning figurative draughtswoman. Her highly detailed analysis of theories about how the image on the shroud was formed is authoritative, as in the first of several detailed articles here.

Also, as a physicist who may have considered implications from a quantum mechanics standpoint, her conclusions about how the image was formed are most intriguing: it seems that the image of Jesus can only have been created by its hovering equidistantly above and below his reclining bent corpse. Furthermore, this necessitated the body’s levitation – perhaps not an impossible feat during the moment of the Resurrection power-blast? After all, the disciples had witnessed Jesus walking on water and were yet to see His levitating into the clouds!

Dame Isabel succinctly summarises:

We have a piece of cloth and it leads us to a mysterious gate which opens for us, and it lets us see a completely different world, an extraordinary world with extraordinary laws.

Consider these claims by reading those articles and watching this 19 minute of extracts from the DVD The Fabric of Time (with its own lead-in trailer). There’s also a discussion of her scientific opinion at In Case You Missed Isabel Piczek’s Wonderful Paper.

‘Coincidentally”, just after having read the last link and revised the preceding references to science (post published 5 years ago), I’m alerted to theoretical physicist Mehki’s new post on ‘black holes’ and ‘event horizons’ (see Looking to the Horizon). The discussion thread has a valuable contribution from ‘physicalrealityblog’ that’s pertinent to the Shroud site’s discussion of Dame Isabel’s analysis and indirectly reconnects it back into quantum physics!
2017: ‘Coincidentally’ amusing that bloggers ‘hidden’ on opposite sides of the world (Britain and New Zealand) were preparing items on the fabrics that Jesus Christ was buried with – the full-body shroud and the head linen – in Joseph of Arimathea’s private tomb. My post updated on Wed 12 April 2017 was scheduled on Thurs 13th for auto-publication Sun 16 April. On Good Friday 14 April Joanne Rolston published news of the ‘Sudarium’ in AB-solute Proof – The Blood That Speaks.

Jesus Christ’s identity hidden in the Bible’s first sentence

Tim Shey comments on the crucifixion post, “The First Word in the Bible says Jesus is God and He Will Die on the Cross” and he provides this excellent 10 minutes video:

The video was included when I posted the original of this item, which was based upon Jonathan Hill’s book Unlocking the Sign Miracles of John. I’ll tell more another day, but to continue:

ALPHA-OMEGA HIDDEN WITHIN GENESIS 1:1 (AS ALEPH-TAV)

In Appendix I (pages 202-203) on the meaning of number 37 and its palindromic partner 73, Jonathan says both form the numerical value for the fundamental Hebrew word ‘wisdom’. He tells how this pair play a role in a multiplication, the result being the precise number of the Hebrew for the creation verse of Genesis 1:1. He goes on to relate this to 666 and a diagrammatic representation, which he interprets as meaning:

‘This transformation represents the dispensational truth that at the second coming of Christ, the dominant spiritual hierarchy of the world changes from 666, the number of the ‘beast’, to 12 – the governmental number of Israel. All this information including this powerful intervention of God is elegantly and visually encoded in the first verse of the Bible.’

This claim continues by divulging this astounding mystery:

REVELATION 1:8, 11 – 21:6 – 22:13

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” (NKJV, BibleGateway.com)

Jesus’ Crucifixion described within the Holy Name of God

Posted on by
1

First published on this blog in April 2017:

According to Steve Maltz, author of God’s Signature, the only time the sacred, personal Name of God was spoken by the ancient Israelites was during worship in the Temple in Jerusalem, and especially on the Day of Atonement when the High Priest pronounced it ten times.

The Talmud has many warnings about using the most holy Name – it is also regarded as having special powers of healing. Apparently knowledge of its pronunciation was lost after the fall of the Temple in AD70 prophesied by Jesus Christ.

The knock-on effect of that event, together with the Roman Church’s withdrawal in the third Century of financial support for churches in the Holy Land founded by Jesus’ own ‘kith and kin’ (‘desponyni’), was the great loss of a full understanding of the Church’s Hebraic roots. Hence the confusion and doctrinal disagreements over Jesus’ claim, “I am in the Father and the Father is in me” (John 14:10).

Digging deeper we encounter an astonishing revelation of that double-identity!

From translations of Hebrew, the post-Shakespeare English-speaking world referred to God’s Name as ‘Jehovah’ or ‘LORD’ (letter ‘J’ was then starting to replace ‘i’). However, Jews preferred well-known descriptive titles such as ‘Elohim’ – God, in all the fullness of His attributes; ‘El Shaddai’ – Almighty; ‘El Sabaoth’ – Lord of heavenly hosts; or Adonai’ – Lord, and more often than not the reverent term ‘Ha Shem’ (The Name) sufficed.

Scribes, or sopher, needed to take special care in praying before writing the holy name, which must be done without interruption. Were a mistake made, it must not be corrected but the whole page discarded and the page restarted. Numbering had to be carefully handled too because Hebrew characters represented both letters and numbers. So the logical way of writing 15 is to add a yod (ie 10) to a hey (ie 5) and likewise for 16 (a yod to a vav). But this never happened because, as part of the sacred name, they could accidentally be read as this name. The Holy Name is shown below, but read from right to left:

Ha Shem

“Yod-Hey-Vav-Hay” first appears in Genesis 2:4 statement ‘The Book of Beginnings’ is the account of, “When the LORD God made the earth and the heavens”.This Name was first revealed when Moses encountered God in the burning bush after he’d asked Him whom should he tell the Israelites had sent him to get them out of their slavery in Egypt.

God replied, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM has sent me to you’. ” (Exodus 3:14 NKJV)
Steve writes, “Interestingly and contrary to popular belief, the Hebrew word used in this passage…is not YHVY (he shows Hebrew characters). So, what’s going on here? Is it His name or isn’t it? In this Exodus passage, the word used for His name is “Aleph-Hey-Yod-Hey”.

“This takes the meaning of “I will be”…(which) shares a similar three-consonant root with YHVY in Hey-Vav-Hey and Hey-Yod-Hey…and as they’re related are both ways of describing God”. Hence my liking of describing God as “Always” and “Now”, the latter being used by Charlie Shamp too.

HOLY FATHER-SON UNION REVEALED & THE CRUCIFIXION FORETOLD

As in those preceding links, literary Hebrew developed out of pictographic forms that represent gestures and their meanings. We logically surmise both original visual and later written forms were known to and, therefore, used by the Lord in communicating with Abraham and his descendants through Issac and Jacob, and used by Moses and his scribes in compiling the first five books of the Bible.

Comparing the literary and pictorial forms of the name Moses heard and recorded as being from the Lord, we have this graphic (credit Heart To Heart):

Hebrew is read right to left, ie ‘hand-look-nail-look’, but if we read as normal left to right we find not only the Name of God describing who He is, the fullness of His character and abilities, but also its exceptional prophetic nature in it foretelling the pivotal point of His action plan for humanity: the crucifixion of His Son Jesus Christ!

BEHOLD – A NAIL – BEHOLD – A HAND

AND THIS ‘WORD’ SHOWS TWO PERSONS!

Could this indicate that Christ was hidden in the Father when Moses encountered them at the burning bush but manifested as ‘The Angel of the Lord’ or pre-incarnate Christ ? It’s worth reading Exodus 3 carefully again and note Who is speaking to Moses…

Moreover, the pictographs graphically portray God as ‘hands up’ in connection with a nail. Putting all this together into one picture we get a typical image of Jesus on the Cross at Calvary, where long nails or spikes driven through Jesus’ wrists damage the median nerves thus making His hands bend into the ‘claw position’ – just like letter Yod!!

What is perhaps significant regarding Holy Week 2023 compared with recent years is firstly this year it overlaps with the Jewish Passover that in essence was to do with freedom from slavery. Secondly, there is so much going on in the world right now that I have identified as being in the momentous category and depending how you look at it could be seen as damaging and disturbing or, if God is indeed in control, liberating because however dire things appear God is on the Throne. His plans are good; we need to seek His face. As one who blogs concerning such matters, I find it refreshing to contemplate what it is that Holy Week represents.[Continue at..] This is Holy Week – 2023 — JRB Publications

OCCUPY NOW! DOUBLY RE-ITERATED BY THE LORD!!

Posted on by

I continue being humbled by the long-running theme of how Deut 19:15 (a matter is established by the mouth of two or three witnesses) applies to what arises for this blog!  Now, the Lord speaks to two modern-day servants about the parable of the ten minas in Luke 19.

Thursday tasks, correspondence and blogging action list for four weeks ago today (4×7 days) 23rd February is shown below because it applies to what I heard from the Lord first thing the following Tuesday (28th):

The ‘Occupy’ item resulted in this post quoting Chris G Bennett and Bishop J.C .Ryle’s classic Are You Ready For The End Of Time? (Read all blog’s ‘Occupy’ posts here)

“Occupy (ie. do My business) until I come” – Luke 19

Now four weeks later our dear sister posts this, which I share and refer to an online chat on 27th February in a bible group about the Asbury outpouring:

Here’s what Veronika published on 21st March at His Kingdom Prophecy based upon Luke 19.13 (KJV):

TAKE IT!  TAKE IT NOW!!  OCCUPY ‘TIL HE COMES!!!

“I Say Take It!  Take It Now!  And Occupy Till I Come!”

I hear The Spirit say,  ”As you decrease, so I will Increase!  As you go lower, so I will take you higher!

For I will resist the proud and the arrogant, and those who are puffed up in their own achievements and amazing accomplishments — have no part in Me.

Beloved, you have a high calling!  You are My Ambassadors, My Representatives on the earth.

There is no need to hold on to the honour and recognition that the world bestows, but rather, embrace the Grace that I give to the Humble, for a broken and contrite heart mark those who have been chosen for true Greatness.

So, lay aside your own abilities, your plentiful resources, and your fierce determination to do things in your might and human power, and let My Spirit bring you Guidance. 

Let My Holy Spirit pour into your life, like the oil that fueled Zechariah’s lamp-stand.

I tell you, human weakness is no obstacle, for My Power is perfected in the face of hardships, times of difficulty and persecution.  When you are weak, I AM Strong!

Let Me free you from your enemies, and not with weapons, armies, or horses and charioteers, but by My Power, as The LORD your God.

Let My Spirit guarantee you Success and Victory, in the midst of conflict and chaos.

I say to you, do not be anxious about the future; wars and rumours of wars; the rising fuel prices and the cost of living; what you will eat and what you will wear!

Has not My Mercy always made a way where there seemed no way?

Has not My Grace always been sufficient for you?

And has not My Wisdom brought unexpected answers and timely solutions?

My Child, can you think of one time in your life when My Love ran out on you?

NO!  For did I not promise, to never — no never! — no never, to leave you, nor abandon you?

But Look!  Though the Storm Clouds are gathering — fear not! — for The Light of My Glory lines every dark cloud on the horizon, and My Grace flows beneath every cross-current, for surely I tell you, even the contrary Winds will only accelerate you closer to the Divine Destiny I have for you!

Stop leaning on your own understanding and thinking you know what is best!  Every obstacle on your path, and every valley on your journey, only propels you higher and takes you deeper into the place of Promise and greater Prosperity, that has been prepared for you.

I only give the greatest battles to My Strongest Warriors.  I AM purposeful and deliberate in all that I do in your life. [RB: note well underscoring re next post]

Seasons of testing and trials are inevitable, though I understand you may seek at times after a life of ease and comfort.

I know, that this would be counter-productive, even destructive, to the Destiny I have for you.  My Ways may seem harsh, and My methods controversial — and even contradictory to the ways of the World — But I AM more concerned about your Character, Beloved, than I AM about your comfort and ease.

A True Disciple is what I AM fashioning and forming within you. 

One who will see the violent Winds and the raging Waves, and will fearlessly and courageously step out of the boat — to walk on the waters with Me.

One who has no fear of man, and will walk into the fiery furnace with Me.

One whom I can trust, in whom to manifest My Glory on the Earth, Beloved.

So be patient!  Hold fast!  Though the days are getting darker, the Light of My Glory is getting brighter.

Know that sufferings and afflictions are all working towards a consuming Glory, a Glory that shall diminish the darkness!

Therefore, lift up your voices — not in complaining or in unbelief — but in high Praises coming from a heart full of Hope, Expectation and Faith.

Rejoice in the Victory promised but not yet seen!  Celebrate in advance for the Triumph that is already yours.

Let the sound of a New Song fill and shift the atmosphere of doubt and fear.  Satan cannot stand in the presence of Praise, his demonic assignments are cut down, and his evil deeds are dismantled and demolished.

Finally Beloved, Mighty Overcoming Ones, let this day not be a day of lethargy and passivity, regrets and complacency, but let this be the hour that you Arise as My Spiritual Storm-Riders!

As you place your life under My Loving Hand, I will lift you up, and strengthen your bones!

Only believe that I have formed and fashioned you for higher things, to Rule and Reign from heavenly places, that you may take the land I have allotted to you, as your Kingdom Inheritance.

I say, Take It!  Take It Now!  And occupy till I come!”

Blessings to you all.

God-struck by the double-immediacy of Verse of Day and Tim Sheets video on new Pentecost

Posted on by
Reply

“WOWEE – Just listened to first 5 mins and Tim confirms TWO things on my mind before he even begins on angels!!  And it includes Verse for Today and what I’d been recalling on healing!”

Thus I remarked Wednesday morning on Chris Moyler’s Telegram as a quick reply to his encouraging introduction 24 hours earlier to the video shown below. Very rarely do I watch any, especially l-o-n-g videos but hoped to be able somehow to carve out an hour eventually on this occasion….

That was before we went out for Tuesday and it went out of the window until much later – but still not possible…. I recalled a Whats App chat a fortnight ago on the Outpouring in Kentucky and my link to Dutch Sheet’s prophecy encountering an objection about him and the Toronto Blessing. So, I recounted Nina’s wonderful healing 18 years ago and posed this teaser: “So it begs a couple of questions: Do you think I’m mistaken..doesn’t God heal?”

Upon awaking Wednesday I momentarily wondered, in all honesty could the other chap be right and we be wrong?

NEXT, I checked Bible Gateway on my phone and up springs this immediate definitely direct answer in its closing line:

Being up earlier than anticipated before our scheduled visits I then recalled Chris’ video and had 10 minutes to dip in and play at very fast speed only to be astonished by Tim’s opening remarks in the first minutes (auto-transcript with tight formatting)::

“I had a dream of while we were in service just worshiping, or while preaching, no-one laying hands on people – they just started getting healed, and even in the archived sermons, as people were listening they were getting healed. I had this dream three times and I wanted to again say this week: even though no-one may be specifically
praying for healing, we’re just worshiping and ministering to the Lord or preaching, you can still be healed – because one of the..it’s like a headline in these three dreams –  these people are healed in the glory, they are healed in the presence of the Lord and this is going to increase services, not just here but in other places there’s going to just be healing spontaneously manifest….”
Next, Tim proceeds to mention Pentecost, which I’d been stressing during our recent breakfast meetings in studying Dr Luke’s Gospel account and the beginning of Acts and knowing in my ‘knower’ there’s a strong revival of a new Pentecost ahead of us…
“…I’m contending for that now today. I want to read the parable of the Prodigal Son again but from a different translation and I’ll do that in just a moment. There’s something in the words Jesus used when he was telling that story that you find in the original language, the original Greek text, and I feel very prompted to talk about that today. It was something that would affect his disciples from Pentecost through the rest of their entire Ministry lives. My heart just leaped inside of me when I saw this. God’s word so alive, just one word can just quicken things. There’s a wind of Holy Spirit on that amazing parable of the prodigal son it’s like it’s being freshly told to us – it’s prophesying I believe into our moment right NOW – it’s prophesying a phase of our Kingdom’s movement right now in THIS era…”

On introducing this recording Chris Moyler writes (14 March):

Beloved Friends,
As the storm clouds of these difficult days continue to swirl around us, and our political leaders disappoint us greatly by their stubborn resistance against truthful dialogue, the LORD is Revealing his carefully laid plans to bring his GLORY to the earth.

Of special note is the revelation concerning the role that the heavenly host, the angel armies of Heaven, are playing, and will increasingly play, in bringing God’s glory and God’s Reign.

Currently we are surrounded by a multitude of voices, that are bringing all kinds of messages. Some are v good, but some are v bad.

Therefore, it is more important than ever that we critically discern who, and who is not, speaking the truth.

Tim Sheets, the brother of Dutch Sheets, is increasingly attracting my attention. He carries a very special revelation about the angels, and about the way in which they are now breaking through the demonic Second Heaven that surrounds the earth, enabling God’s righteous rule to be established.

This recent video is an hour long, but does not disappoint.

16:00. Tim has been carrying this revelation for 20 years now. It came to him during a time of waiting on God, as the congregation that he was leading fell apart!

16:00. But THIS YEAR something is shifting!
What I heard decades ago is NOW LAUNCHING!!!

God bless you all richly!
We are living in amazing and glorious days, as the Kingdom of God unfolds as never before in history- including Acts 2.

That time of the birthing of the church was glorious and vitally important. But what is now coming will FAR outshine those wonderful days!!

Chris

BANG ON TARGET!

A very good test for whether something really is of the Lord is when it attracts a ‘flak attack’. In keeping a men’s Bible study group informed of events at Asbury I posted this video with a note of its preceding the outpouring by a fortnight  and referred to its receipt 22 years ago, thereby being a true prophecy.

However, someone of Cessationist stance took exception by accusing Dutch of being connected with Peter Wagner’s new apostolic reformation and connected with Toronto.

SO I simply referred to my no longer being a 24/7 carer of my dear wife Nina when  she was permanently wheelchair-bound because John Arnott listened to the Lord, as told below:
