The Day of Pentecost 2020 — R.J. Dawson, Real Christianity

Another American blogging-buddy, R.J. Dawson, brings clarification upon the nature of true Christian discipleship and a sifting that, in my opinion, reinforces the scholarship which greatly excited me as well as confirming my opinion (Isaiah 50:4 Gem: Bride of Christ’s own Resurrection at Pentecost?) – “Combining what has been said so far, the church is the body of the Messiah. The means of entering this body is Spirit baptism. Hence, the church was born when the ministry of Spirit baptism began. Apart from Spirit baptism, the church cannot and does not exist; and since Spirit baptism began in Acts 2:1-4, that is also when the church began. Therefore, the birth of the church is the fulfillment of Shavuot.” (Dr Arnold Fruchtenbaum)

The actual Day of Pentecost, according to celestial rendering, was yesterday May 29. This is a very important date in our current timeline and relates directly to the Great Awakening. . THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS For those of you who have been following my site, a little news is in order. Due to circumstances […]

Following The Cloud

Posted on by

Noteworthy that ‘High Plains Drifter’ Tim Shey, has added suitable scriptures to his re-posting Tony in Tucson’s dream Follow The Cloud, especially as I often cite John 3:8 as being my ‘lead’-verse – AND yet another personal confirmation on the Pentecost experience in his blog’s title’s scripture:

“The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.” (John 3:8)

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.” (Romans 8:14)

“Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.”  (2 Corinthians 3: 6)

Follow The Cloud – Tony Puccio

“I’ve seen this vision for a while now so I am going to post it.

“Imagine, if you will, a church building that had been destroyed and this will show what I saw in the vision. The church lay in ruins, no roof overhead, walls crumbled, but some pews remained intact. I saw people there and at first glance one would want to commend them for their faithfulness.

“However, what I saw next changed my perspective…

“I saw a cloud moving away from the destroyed church building. There were a few, and let me re-emphasize, a few saw the cloud and left, while the majority stayed in the destroyed church building. I saw nothing else around, ie, new church buildings.

“It was just the people who had chosen to follow the cloud wherever it was leading.  The Israelites followed the cloud. When it moved, they moved. When it rested, they rested. Like the church building in my vision those refusing to follow the cloud would be left basically in the desert to fend for themselves. Following the cloud is imperative in these last days as we are headed into uncharted territory. Those in the destroyed church building, although the cloud was no longer there, stayed because it was a place they were familiar with.

“The cloud represents a walk of faith, a giving-up the familiar and yielding to the unfamiliar. To not follow the cloud is to be in rebellion, face famine of hearing God’s Word, His presence.

“This vision started when I heard the Lord speak to my spirit saying the cloud is moving.”

Tony Puccio, 3rd June 2020, My Dreams and Visions

I comment as follows on his blog: “Obviously Tony this is the next part of your unfolding visions that I was blessed to cover a few weeks ago in connection with other ‘GPS’ from the Lord (A Directive: Urgent Word For The Global Church – GPS#47.4).
To my understanding, this fits with part of the directive pastor Thomas Harry of Falkirk, Scotland, received. Under section ‘Unprecedented Signs & Wonders’ he writes,
‘Christianity as we have known it and church as we have known it is over. God has saved His best for last and we will be unrecognisable in both our identity and how we operate’.”

Tony replies: “To quote prophet Daniel, ‘those who know their God will do exploits’.”

A clarification of my remarks and the purpose of this blog

Posted on by

Thank you to the reader who gently took me to task for mixing personal remarks with others’ prophecies.  There’s absolutely no way I’d wish to engender disunity – and I do not want to be misconstrued (for the sake of brevity the remark wasn’t in full context ).

As others may have felt uneasy over my lead into the previous post, please allow me to clarify:

Background

First, my service to the Body of Christ is like being an air-traffic controller in an airport tower watching incoming and outgoing aircraft, or coordinating messages on the Lord’s ‘GPS’ (Global Prophecy Signals).  Moreover, I see what they bring may fit into certain patterns, or jigsaw pieces. – I wanted to name this blog ‘Invisible Jigsaw’ but couldn’t find a suitable graphic! 🙂 

Hence my frequent blogging about prophecies that come by ‘coincidence’ and ‘marry-up’, or fit into a ‘jigsaw puzzle’, thereby confirming what others hear from the Lord.  This is in accord with the protocol for prophecy at 1 Corinthians 14:29-32, viz: 

‘Two or three prophets should speak, and the others should weigh carefully what is said. And if a revelation comes to someone who is sitting down, the first speaker should stop. For you can all prophesy in turn so that everyone may be instructed and encouraged.’

Secondly, as and whenever possible I notice events indicative of prophecy coming to pass and have logged nearly 190 examples.  This is not for the purpose of measuring anyone’s capacity to prophesy, but simply to prove that contemporary prophecy works.

(When revamping that catalogue’s content, the Lord took me to task over truncating its opening scripture on true and false prophets – so I retained it in full. It got confirmed that afternoon when a website requested removal from my directory within The State of The Prophetic in the UK on the grounds of theological objections to others! In fact, whilst revamping I’d noted that site’s very small number of prophecies.)

Therefore, my introductory comments to prophecies on this blog are provided not only as personal observations, but also as a contribution to weighing and testing them.

A couple of recent items, however, have confirmed details of my points in a protracted discussion on an issue that unusually generated a righteousness anger within me.

The Issue

Two readers drew my attention to a critique of The UK Blessing.  I agree in the main with its author’s remarks on churches’ failure to follow Biblical teaching and not encouraging repentance; but not his claiming, “Though well-intentioned, what these singers are doing cannot be justified from Scripture, nor does it express the message that God wants to communicate at this time.”

The article had attracted dozens of responses and as my wife’s healing of a broken knee-cap had been powerfully accelerated, I briefly commented upon two facts: an error in his quoted timing and the Holy Spirit’s effect through that song. Polite debate ensued, but I was saddened to be wrongly accused of attacking him in person! Maybe it arose from my later quoting Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount as implicitly authorising the song ?

Another commentator felt uneasy with the song and agreed, “it’s true that people aren’t really wanting to hear the message of repentance…even now. It’s all about unity….. It doesn’t seem right to me.”

Therefore, I quoted Jesus’ prayer for unity in all who believe in Him. The addressee fully accepted this and from his own background agreed with my additional remark:

“Little wonder satan seeks to destroy and rip apart the Church. The back-stabbing between various clergy and churchgoers made me utterly despise churchianity as a child and I ended up in the devil’s camp for decades. Only Jesus’ personal rescue when I almost died 30 years ago made me see sense and get saved and freed me from it – praise you Lord!”  [See ‘Churches in Conflict’ in first part of my personal story.] 

Word of Discernment: Defeating the spirit of division and securing the Throne of Unity

Posted on by

On Pentecost Sunday Abel Praise published the following, which resonates with and confirms my reaction to an author saying “Unity doesn’t trump truth. Never has, never will” in response to a comment on his denigrating ‘The UK Blessing’. I reminded both persons of Jesus’ own prayer and the reason behind it, which should be acceptable to all His followers: 

“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.” (John 17:20-23)

 

DEFEATING THE SPIRIT OF DIVISION AND SECURING THE THRONE OF UNITY AT THE TIME-GATE FOR THE OUTPOURING

A few days ago (25th May) Veronika West posted This WORD From The LORD;

This is very striking and timely as we stand at the Time-gate of Pentecost 2020; and the disorder that the enemy is attempting to stir up in the USA.

In 2015; while on a prayer assignment; The LORD began to speak to me concerning a significant throne contending in the nations (which) I was made to understand as the ‘Throne of Division’. In a vision in 2015 I saw a black horse; The LORD told me; this is the beast that contended against the revival that was taking place in Asuza street. I saw attempts to take this beast down and I would see strokes of the sword aimed at it, but its body seemed so tough.

In that vision and in the course of that assignment, I was shown that it was wounded; but as at yet not taken out. Over the years in seeking and walking with The LORD in understanding the Kingdom’s road-map for the defeat of this beast; one key thing I understood was it stood in sharp conflict with the operations of Peace that is the instrument The LORD uses to unite The Kingdom-minded to accomplish predestined tasks for the advancement of The Kingdom.

Its major goal is division through many wicked operations. Over the last few years; I have seen this strike at very significant times. In 2016; when The Body of Christ anticipated a great and significant time of Pentecost, whose date was such that the dates of Pentecost on The Jewish Calendar and The Church Calendar were one; being 12th June 2016; was the very day tragedy struck: and there was the shooting at the Orlando gay club and fifty people died – the name attributed to that work of division is ‘homophobic’. Fifty, an extremely significant number for Pentecost; the enemy orchestrated to take lives; tantamount to enforcing a sacrifice to wield the authority of life to re-entrench its work of darkness.

I can literally speak of chaos that sprang up in many ways; and fiery darts that attacked Kingdom alignments at different levels, even on international levels, that was designed to accomplish Kingdom-ordained assignments.

Four years later, being 2020, and days before what’s believed to be another significant Pentecost season, another tragedy strikes; yet with the count of a life lost for no just cause; unjustifiable in all ways – the very sad loss of George Floyd – the name attributed to that work of division is ‘racism’. There are many more works that this spirit of division attempts to accomplish.

In the Body Of Christ – the name attributed to that work of division is the sect of ‘denominationalism’ [RB: demon-nationalism]. The underlying operations of this is to sow discord through conflicting ideologies at different levels; inflaming tensions through strife. It’s right there setting fire on a white-black ideology; pentecostal-cessationist ideology; its the same spirit talking on both sides of its mouth because for so long it had gained and wielded what should have been the throne of unity that accomplishes the task of establishing righteous relationships and alignments among individuals, families, the Church and nations; and this perverse spirit has stood at this gate that should have birthed unity and worked the wickedness of tearing the fabrics of society apart; to disrupt the buildup of relationships and circumstances that accomplishes The Will Of The LORD.

There’s a lot more than meets the eyes; the white-black ideology; the republican-democrat ideology; and all the mess going on (it) is the same, the two-tongued spirit empowering these to create disorder so that the purposes of The LORD don’t gain the right alignment on earth; so we can build and be built as it is in Heaven.

Are there wrongs on all sides? Obviously. At what point does Truth and perceived perception of innocence and justice find a balance in the scales? It begins at the point where we begin to stand before The LORD and repent for every way we have stood in alignment or agreement with the works of the spirit of division and its two-tongued venom in its terrible mission over our lives, relationships, churches, nations, and all that is part of our societal structure.

Do we demand justice? Absolutely; he who demands justice stands on the scale while he places his demands for justice. The brother you perceive you have a disagreement with may have listened to the second part of the two-tongued spirit of division and is just in the state as being misled as you. Intercede on his behalf.

After this; begin to reestablish The Authority of The LORD JESUS CHRIST and HIS Peace over all that concerns you; your relationships, The Church, Your Cities, Your Nations. For we must first establish the Authority of The LORD JESUS CHRIST as The Prince Of Peace over us; before we can be led by HIS Peace.

Does this answer all questions? Well, one thing is clear, if we can be disentangled from all the agreements, alignment, influence, intentionally or not, from the workings of this spirit of division; and intentionally establish The Authority of The Prince of Peace; The LORD JESUS CHRIST over our affairs; we would begin to experience The Leadership of The LORD in these matters and The LORD would drive us as long as we need to arrive at HIS Peace that passeth all understanding. As for me, in the midst of all the chatter, I denounce the voice of the two-tongued spirit of division.

Psalm 133:1-3: Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious ointment upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; As the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

Acts 2:1: And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

GPS #48.2: Divine Launching of a Greater Kingdom Work in the Nations – Veronika West

Posted on by
Reply

As mentioned in the previous post about my musing upon the Lord’s possible purpose this Pentecost for His Bride-to-be, here’s its second God-incidental confirmation posted by Veronika West on the same day:

“KAIROS MOMENT OF DIVINE LAUNCHING INTO A GREATER KINGDOM WORK IN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”…!

‘I have just been WATCHING THE LAUNCHING OF A ROCKET ON US SOIL….and as I’m watching I am shown by the Spirit of Revelation that this is POWERFULLY SIGNIFICANT PROPHETICALLY….I believe what’s taking place in the earthly realm is a DIRECT REFLECTION OF WHAT’S NOW TAKING PLACE IN THE SPIRIT REALM IN THIS HOUR AND SEASON….!!!

‘Get ready Beloved….I hear the Spirit say, “WATCH FOR THIS IS KAIROS MOMENT OF DIVINE LAUNCHING INTO A GREATER KINGDOM WORK IN THE NATIONS OF THE EARTH”….I see that this a time where God is now catapulting His people into their callings and Kingdom destinies, many are being supernaturally launched out into a GREATER KINGDOM WORK….and many are now being taken higher and further than they have ever experienced before….!

‘See this Powerful Prophetic Word God have me in early January, long before the Coronavirus struck the Nations, many aspects of this Word is being fulfilled in this hour….New E-R-A = EXPECT RADICAL ADVANCEMENT (click for MUST READ).’

This vision of Veronika’s is yet another example – the 48th – of the Lord’s GPS system (ie. His Global Prophecy Signalling) in action!

Isaiah 50:4 gem: The Bride of Christ’s own resurrection at Pentecost? (GPS #48.1)

Posted on by

The Lord God has given Me
The tongue of the learned,
That I should know how to speak
A word in season to him who is weary.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear to hear as the learned.
(Isaiah 50:4 NKJV, courtesy BibleGateway)

Awakening early Saturday – 30th May, the in-between Shavuot-Pentecost day – I found my spirit buzzing excitedly over Messianic scholar Dr Fruchtenbaum’s brief exposition on Shavuot, aka Pentecost. I’d re-read it last thing Friday and scribbled an introduction for re-blogging it next day, if I may get a half-hour online.

Of Jesus’ followers, 120 disciples/apostles were ‘born-again’ and baptised in the Holy Spirit and fire, thus bringing the church of Jesus Christ into existence.

I submit: the learned doctor’s thesis is foundational to current prophecies on the church-changing importance of Pentecost 2020. Moreover, my early-morning musing brought the following notion, which I’d like prophetically gifted readers to weigh. First, a bit of background:

Since last year I’ve been asking the Lord to deal with the growing apostasy and put His spirit of holy fear into reprobate church leaders. The ‘dragon’ found a way to close down all churches worldwide by sending the ‘Chinese flu’ and, for the first time in history since the original Passover in ancient Egypt, all Jews and Christians are behind locked doors because of a plague during their holiest festivals; Passover, Good Friday, Resurrection Sunday – and 50 days later the situation at Pentecost remains unchanged.

I remonstrated with and asked the Lord, “Is today’s Church the one you started building to become Your Bride; the one you said the gates of hell shall not prevail against? Lord, the snake has slithered into its holy precincts unchallenged; even welcomed by some!”

Then a few months ago we were delighted to learn of a pastor who moves strongly in the Holy Spirit’s gift of prophecy, whom the Lord told to resign from leadership and then to watch how He – Jesus Christ – builds His Church today!!!

With all that in mind, plus challenging an author who, self-admittedly not a prophet, is  adamant he knows what God is doing – which includes not blessing The UK Blessing and similar ‘siren songs’! – this dropped into mind upon waking Saturday morn..:

With church buildings shut according to civil law, the bride of Christ is locked away as though entombed – like the first disciples were after Jesus’ crucifixion, resurrection and during prayer-period leading into Shavuot. That is, her body stopped functioning in the natural but the Lord has arranged for her to be revived with Holy Spirit’s power, just like at His Resurrection!

Therefore, today’s churches are going through a ‘death’ and ‘resurrection’ to prepare those who ardently desire Jesus for a new life; one empowered to fulfill His mission.

That is, I believe we’re about to witness the Bride of Christ’s Resurrection in preparation for His Return…!!!  This means a radical change within church-goers to move out and do the ‘Greater Works’ (John 14:12) in the ripening global Harvest.

1st God-incidental Confirmation:

In that morning’s shared devotional reading from Sanctuary – Moments in His Presence, the author David Strutt tells of a couple of reminder cards pinned above his desk, one of which is Isaiah 50 and thus confirmed my minutes-before musing. David quotes that verse:

‘…He awakens me morning by morning, He awakens my ear to listen as a disciple‘ and continues, ‘If you are being taught by the Lord, you are His disciple. I often repeat this verse to myself on waking, long before i get to my desk. I commend it to you as a way of life – it is true. It is the word of the Lord to you.’

2nd God-incidental Confirmation:

This God-arranged ‘coincidence’ appears in Veronika West’s personal vision published that same day, 30th May, which I didn’t read ’til getting back online today! (click here)

ACE Insights: Shavuot – Pentecost — Dr Arnold Fruchtenbaum

Posted on by

The renowned Messianic scholar provides solid teaching that’s given me another totally unexpected and delightful double ‘God-incidence’ – First: Dr Arnold’s description of the new ministry of Spirit baptism as being essential to the Church’s existence, confirms my case made during debate this week with an author claiming healing by Holy Spirit’s power is “subjective and thus not exegetical,” despite medical evidence to the contrary! – Second: appreciate the inclusion of parable of wheat and tares as it also relates to the End-times harvest, and my checking of which led to my hearing the Lord’s voice on the fulfillment of scripture, thereby kick-starting my writing on prophecy (see The End-game Is Now In Play).

I pray that you may hear what the Lord is saying through Dr Fruchtenbaum’s post…

By Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum – Shavuot is the fourth holy season on the Jewish calendar. Among the Jewish people, it is also known as the Feast of Weeks. Among most Gentile believers today, the season is known as Pentecost.[1] A. The Biblical Observance Shavuot is a one-day festival. It is unique in that it was […]

Two Pentecosts show how God visits His people

Posted on by

Thank you to Elaine Venning for this paper and I’d add that this year’s Passover was a unique repeat of the first Passover when people were locked away during plague. So too, will this Pentecost be unique because believers have been locked out of churches and thus waiting upon the Lord in their homes and internet meetings, wherein we’ve witnessed the Holy Spirit being repeatedly active – similarly to when Jesus breathed upon His disciples in their locked meetings before Pentecost (John 20:22 – again!)

A TALE OF TWO PENTECOSTS and HOW GOD VISITS HIS PEOPLE

Our feast day of Pentecost falls on 31st May 2020 when we celebrate the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, and so the birth of the Church. Two days before (Friday) is the Jewish feast of the same name. That celebrates the conclusion of the Passover season with recalling the giving of the Ten Commandments and the Torah. The Jews calculate the passing years from this time and for them this is 5780. We do the same, taking our year, now 2020, from the approximate year of Jesus’ birth.

We serve the same God. Both feasts remember how God comes down from heaven to visit His people. He comes as Word and as Spirit. The first time the people of Israel were gathered together on the mountain where they heard a loud trumpet sound and experienced the smoke as of a furnace. The second time, violent wind and tongues of fire descended upon each person present. The parallels are very striking.

Sadly, a little later some of the sons of Israel turned back to idolatry. With the fear of the Lord fresh upon them, the Levites acted to uphold the holiness of God using brute force resulting in the killing of 3,000 Hebrews – see Exodus 32 v 28.  Was it a coincidence when the Spirit filled disciples spilled out onto the streets of Jerusalem 3,000 people were baptised in the Spirit to become believers?

Most of these people had come to Jerusalem for the Torah-appointed feast of Pentecost also known as ‘Shavuot’ or the Feast of Weeks. It is the second of three harvest feasts where the men of Israel were required to come to Jerusalem. That year they and their families came from across the known world – see Acts 2. Many would have been devout pilgrims bent on observing all that God commanded – Deuteronomy 16:16.

A key offering in this Feast is that of two loaves of bread made with finest wheat and leaven given in a wave offering. Scholars say this is an act of remembrance representing the Old Testament Covenant that God established with His peoples  and was made on the two tablets upon which the Ten Commandments were chiselled. It has also been seen as a prophetic fore-telling of the New Testament Covenant as well.

With the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in this the New Covenant God makes, both Jew and Gentile are brought together, as in His mercy the Father fulfils the exchange Jesus purchased for those who accept His blood sacrifice with the taking away of our sins and the giving to us of His own righteousness. Thereby, God allows us to become His own dear children.

In both, God is drawing near to His people Himself and is making us Holy. He has done this by firmly making the Resurrected Jesus to be the cornerstone upon which everything holds together, the one new man, the second Adam – see Ephesians 2.

5780/2020 is double blessing time, the importance of Word and Spirit coming to God’s people. It is when the great harvest of souls can be expected to start with the fresh empowering of God’s people. It is the herald of a new age of wonders and miracles.

Like the Jews at this time we can benefit from reading the book of Ruth with its beautiful story of mercy. The harvest comes in loving kindness, with its tale of surprise acceptance and redemption.

Let us do all that He asks of us. Prepare to be witnesses!

As the Taize chant says, “wait for the Lord, whose day is near. Keep watch, take heart”.

Passion for the Nation: Time to Move Out!

Click/tap image for link to Passion For The Nation and previous declarations

NB: this arrived whilst I was messaging Abel about posting his latest on Battlegrounds, and is published with Suzanne’s kind permission!

A TIME TO MOVE OUT

As we stand on the edge of a new move of God’s Spirit, we declare over this land:

‘when you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God and the priests carrying it, you are to move out from your positions and follow it, then you will know which way to go.’ Joshua 3: 3

We declare as lockdown eases and transition begins, a spirit of peace (prosperity, safety and well-being) will rest upon the cities, towns and streets of the nation. We speak health instead of sickness, life instead of death, prosperity against all lack in matters concerning finance and the economy, and that in these days of shaking, many will turn to Jesus.

We praise Him for the power of His love, and the power of His grace upon our lives and we choose to worship, to praise and to look upon His Face. We declare the song of the victory of Jesus will rise changing atmospheres and touching lives, that at this crossover moment, the Name of Jesus and the worship of Jesus will overwhelm the power of every other name. We declare as the people of God put their eyes upon Jesus, they will be filled with fresh joy, fresh strength and fresh courage.  (adapted from October 2018)

The Lord is releasing new horizons, new territory and new vision to all those who will hunger and thirst for Him. In the Name of Jesus, we decree and declare in this nation, God’s people will move in accordance with the ‘now’ word of God in their lives, taking hold, crossing over, ready to advance as a new level of sensitivity and obedience to His Spirit comes upon them. We declare His people will grasp the significance of the hour, the power of His love, His gospel, and His purpose within their lives.

Now Lord at this Pentecost weekend, we agree, across this land Your people will be positioned in every way, open and expectant, in heart and in spirit, for what Your Spirit will do and we say, “Lord, Come.”

We continue to declare in this nation: leaders from all political parties, all Government ministers, civil servants, scientists, researchers, economists and all advisors will work as a team with humility and mutual respect and we specifically speak strength to Boris Johnson.

We declare the voice of God’s wisdom will be heard over every other voice concerning all the current decisions, that His strategies and solutions will be recognised and implemented,  rightly dividing between the health and safety of individuals and the economy of the nation.

Word of Discernment: The battleground has shifted – cont’d

Click here to read Parts I and II with brief background to these posts >

THE BATTLEGROUND HAS SHIFTED III: THE ANCIENT BATTLEFIELD OF THE PROMISED LAND

We are the generation that crossed into the promised land; but the wars on the way to the promised land are pale in comparison to what is in the promise. The temptation and battles that cohabiting with demonic ideologies bring leave one in a long-stretch tug-of-war.

The Scriptures shows us how their failure to wipe out demonic structures in the land became their greatest undoing. In a moment in time, a righteous king will emerge and lead unto victories; and they would have rest for a season; and afterwards another king would come who would do injustice and service the perverse altars and they would be besieged in their land for a longer period of time; and this tug of war continued for so long a time, much longer than the sum of times they spent in Egypt and on the way to the promise.

The promised land is an ancient battlefield; it has been the call from the beginning; and is the destination; it is the land destined to rule over other lands, but a greater challenge is being besieged even in the promised land; a place destined to be a place of rest. We are the generation crossing into the ancient battlefield of the promise; the battlefield has shifted. For nations exiting national councils and covenants that have been a strong yoke; the battlefield has shifted; to dwell in safety; we must labor to pull down strongholds that exists in the land; establish the righteous covenant to The LORDSHIP OF JESUS; that we may gain rest and be fed with milk and honey.

THE BATTLEGROUNDS HAVE SHIFTED IV: THE HOMELANDS, THE HIGHWAYS AND THE PALACES

Most times when we consider places of warfare the mind wanders far away; to popular highways in the city, entrance gates of cities; governmental buildings; but very little do people consider the very location of their home as a map in contest !

The LORD through Moses had wrought a great warfare in Egypt; contending at the palace; shaking significant hotspots in the city; but the one that broke many doors at once; was the final plague; and it was the one directed to the first-born, as seen in Exodus 11:1. The most significant part of this was the fact that the first-born served either as priests or heirs to the family priesthood that serviced the family altars that had idols seated in their homes. So it was first a strike against the idols and perverse altars within the map of the homelands; and an eventual striking out the priests to these idols of the homelands that broke Egypt; and Israel obtained from these homelands such great transfer of wealth.

Inheriting the promise land gives us similar picture; this time The LORD Commanded Joshua as seen in Judges 2; that they must throw down the perverse altars of those that had been in the land; and just as we had seen in Egypt; both those in the palaces and the highways; and those in the homelands were to be contended against. This is what Gideon did that stirred the breakthrough; he advanced to gain. The battlefield has shifted; have you discerned the spiritual state of your homeland? and have you established the covenant of The LORDSHIP OF JESUS CHRIST?

For like Gideon; we must pull down the strongholds in the homelands if we must march through the walls of Jericho to capture the palaces and the highways.

Word of Discernment: Prophecy is manifold – Abel Praise

Posted on by

On Monday, mulling over a critical article about ‘The UK Blessing’ video and its popularity, I mentioned it in passing to Abel Praise as I believe he sensed something going on.  After considering it he replied about prophecy being manifold, and which makes an excellent follow-up to Rosemary P’s following comment to Our Father’s Joy in Facing the Evil One (brought by Wanda Alger):

“YES and yes! We are in an intensifying battle, and this is why both those calling for repentance and those who see the awakening coming are, in a sense, both right. Yes, we need to repent, and yes, we need to also fix our eyes on what the Lord is doing around the world.” 

After kindly permitting my publishing this excellent insight, Abel explains:

“Prophecy is Manifold will help to give a broader perspective; and the battlegrounds. Truly; there are many in The Body who need to gain the right perspective on all that’s taking place because of the many questions arising in their hearts.”

PROPHECY IS MANIFOLD

Even Prophecies of Justice are manifold, The Prophet Jeremiah also spoke about the promised redemption of Israel; because The LORD attempts to capture both the actions that brought about the consequences of judgment; and also the redemptive pathway to restoration.

Also, in a time like this; the pandemic; the closure of Churches; and all that’s going on; the operations of prophecy and the unfolding season is manifold. For instance; it is true that the pandemic and the complexities it brought can be traced deep down to some significant spiritual gates that were compromised that watchmen lost sight of; and it gave birth to all the actions in the natural that is playing out. Yet in the outbreak of the disease; being the consequence of that loss, the Principles of Faith, Love and Hope play out and in the midst of the consequences The LORD uses it to hold HIS Body together to cushion the effects so the enemy doesn’t overplay his hands;

* Faith: There are those who through their walk with The LORD have grown up in a measure of faith that cannot be affected by this disease. They will have a responsibility to minister to those who have not grown in that measure of faith. This is where The Blessing Video plays a part.

* Hope: Even while in Egypt; and when Israel was in Babylon; The LORD would always send Prophets of Hope; to minister to HIS people that salvation would come though it may tarry because the judgments have a set time; but even in judgments; The LORD guards jealousy The Faith of HIS own and doesn’t want to loose them completely. The Blessing song also plays a part here in ministering hope.

* Love: This is where in the midst of being punished The LORD also wants HIS people to have love shared in their hearts; so that they can be in the state of being healed unto repentance; and also experience repentance unto healing; cos it can happen in several folds.

* The Judgments: Most of what we call judgments are consequences of actions or inactions and immediate reactions or responses by the principles of The Kingdom. If a watchman sleeps at his duty post, the thief would come in and plot destruction in the household; in many cases; people experience the consequences even when there is yet a sentence in Heaven’s Court that proclaims judgment. During the time when consequences are in play; that’s when The LORD sounds the alarm for repentance.

* Maturing in prophetic ministry brings the perspective of the manifold streams that a prophetic word, experience, season reveals. Even when The LORD wields the rod of correction; we cannot say we have seen it all; if we have not heard the perspective of HIS Heart from which that action is taken.

* So are we seeing some form of consequences or high places activities that has created the pandemic scenario; obviously. Are we seeing the negligence of The Church; absolutely; However; there is Faith, Hope and Love at work; and all of these play their part to bring The Church into correction and growth. For what it seems; The Blessing video may be doing a job of bring the nation through the pathway of healing unto repentance; because there are those who at this point have realized through the coming together it has created that they have been negligent for so long in many areas.

Selah!

Why the Lord doesn’t always show us our future — Wanda Alger

Following my introductions in this trilogy upon a common theme, I’m humbled to hear the Lord too refers to the ‘Counterfeiter’…

Don’t be anxious about the increased political control or tyrannical oppression that is hanging over our nation. The principalities from hell may believe they are advancing, but they are headed towards a trap with no way back. If we can put up with some temporary madness and seeming loss, the enemy is playing right into…

Triple-blast of ‘The Blessing’ video brings medically attested healing!!!

Posted on by

After being blasted by the Holy Spirit last Friday evening Nina felt able to take the wrap-around thigh-to-calf velco brace off and try walking normally and then sleep without it – NO PAIN AT ALL! Thank you Lord.
And so much easier to walk, albeit carefully, without being weighed down by brace and needing any support of a wheeled frame or crutches!! Moreover, no need trying to sleep with a straightened leg. Thank the Lord her leg wasn’t in a plaster-cast!

Yesterday, the orthopaedic consultant and the casualty doctor whom Nina first saw 25 days ago were amazed at her rapid progress because the latter had said it would take 6-8 weeks for the fractured knee-cap to knit and be strong enough to resume normal activity!!!  The consultant’s nurse just gaped; mouth open!

Afterwards, Nina saw the casualty doctor, who had to check Nina was the same person whom she’d seen and given that long prognosis. So Nina showed her 3 times how well the knee bends. “It shouldn’t be able to do that!” the doctor exclaimed and agreed the unexpected progress was “indeed” the result of prayer-support – AND we know it was Holy Spirit’s tangible fiery touch too! WE PRAISE YOU LORD! (The consultant advises it’s helpful to take walks using two-poles to avoid any fall, and take care on stairs.)

When I blogged here about what happened we hadn’t realised the healing the Lord was bringing but, as pointed out last night by the pastor of Catch The Fire Farnborough and who’s seen miracles overseas, worshiping Jesus is the best place to receive healing. (We well know this from 14 years ago when Nina was able to dance in worship whilst officially registered as permanently disabled – see From ‘Disabled’ to Enabled.)

You may have read about the Holy Spirit’s powerful double-visit in The Blessing Videos Fulfill…Prophecies but for the record here’s the fuller account with third visit:

1st ‘Sizzle’:

‘..(Friday evening) Nina was hit by a double ‘strike’ of the Holy Spirit whilst hearing this song twice! We’d been invited to watch The Surge, an online broadcast of leaders of the charismatic movement arising from the Toronto Outpouring…After John and Carol Arnott’s ‘welcome’ this historic event began with its own rendition of The Blessing, opened by a pianist at CTF Bournemouth followed by singers across the global family of CTF-PIH churches.

‘Upon my turning towards Nina whilst they sang, I saw her sizzling in her recliner-chair as she felt Holy Spirit surging up and down her.’

2nd ‘Sizzle’:

‘After the 2-hour session we watched The UK Blessing and at the end Nina stood up to move as best she could with a leg in brace to go upstairs. However, YouTube autoplay went on to the song’s version done in South Africa and, with her feet firmly placed at the foot of the stairs, she found herself gently falling face-first into the carpeted stairwell as a black African sang “…And make His face to shine upon you”!! WOWEEE!!!!

‘Then, I was struck that this song of the Old Testament’s Aaronic blessing could fulfill a number of prophecies of recent years. The latest of these was issued just 3 weeks ago by Christie Johnson of Australia’s Gold Coast, as republished on this blog in Watch the Horizon, Here Come the Waves of Awakening, one element of which reads:

‘3. The Sound and the Wind – A New Sound of Worship: “I first heard an unusual sound that I wasn’t familiar with. I believe this is speaking of a new sound of worship that is going to precede the mighty outpouring. This worship is beginning to break forth, even now, all across the earth…”

‘Moreover, the song’s verse that felled my wife speaks directly into the application of that prophetic vision and word: ‘Divine strategy for this new sound:…this is a moment of setting yourself in a position to gaze upon the face of the Beloved….!!’

3rd ‘Sizzle’:

Over the weekend, Nina mentioned friends had asked if she’d seen another version and so we sat to watch ‘The Blessing (Kids)’, but this time it brought far more than a ‘sizzle’!

Nina was transfixed in her recliner with her body shaking and eyes almost popping out on stalks…!

SON of THE Father; or son of the father? – Steve Hepden

Posted on by

Espied on Facebook home-page this exceptional insight into the counterfeiter by dear Steve Hepden at the beginning of an eventful day. It fits so well as a lead-in to another at the top of my emails and just can’t get it off my mind. Also tallies with my short series on the strategies of our adversary and accuser. May you be blessed too… 

Son of The Father or son of the father?

In my study and research for the chapter ‘Abba Father,’ I came across something at the very end of Jesus’ life: that Satan used to deceive the people, and humiliate and destroy Jesus. At Passover, there was a custom, which gave the Jews the choice to release a prisoner. Pontius Pilate used this to appease them in an effort to keep the peace. The two men Pilate offered to the people were Barabbas and Jesus.

Barabbas was a ‘freedom fighter,’ an insurrectionist, part of a revolutionary movement, and he with others were in prison because they had committed murder in the uprising, Mark 15:6-15. Amazingly Jesus was actually accused of participating in similar activities when He was before the Roman authorities. As far as Pilate was concerned, Jesus had done nothing wrong. He knew that Jesus was not a criminal, but he didn’t know who He was.

Was the choice of Jesus in contrast to Barabbas no accident, or was it premeditated, and malevolent?

These are two Messianic figures with a choice between one who led an armed struggle, and took life to gain a better life with a promise of freedom and a new kingdom; and then the mysterious Jesus who also promised freedom and a new Kingdom, but who talked about laying down your life as the way to gain life.

Pilate had no option but to put it to the people as he was under such pressure. It was a no-win situation, as the people began to chant ‘give us Barabbas,’ and soon it became a frenzied shout due to the crowd psychology of the few stirring up the many. It reached a peak when the mob assumed the guilt of Jesus’ death and said, “Let his blood be on us and on our children,” Matt 27:25. As we know the consequences were severe.

Look at the meaning of Barabbas’ name. His last name, Barabbas, means son (bar) of the father (abba). Jesus had always referred to himself as the Son of the Father. Barabbas’ first name was significant too. Pilate asked them, “Which one do you want me to release to you: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?” Matt 27:17, NIV.

Amazingly Barabbas’ first name was Jesus. So you see Jesus son of the father opposing Jesus Son of the Father! Two people with the same name!

It is important that we see this event as Satanic malevolence as the father of lies, John 8:44, deceiving and confusing the people with a counterfeit Messiah. Satan’s purpose was to rob Jesus of His identity by stealing His name, as well as His status as Son. Is this another attempt at the ‘final solution’? Jesus knew He could have asked His Father to put at His disposal the legions of angels that were watching since Gethsemane, Matt 26:53, but He didn’t, He did the better thing, and let Satan have his way. We know why……

What about our choice? Are we going to let Satan undermine our relationship with Abba Father, steal our inheritance as Abba’s children, plunder our identity, or our right to call God “Abba,” because we would lose our capacity to commune and communicate with Him with affection and intimacy?

No…..!

Here’s brilliant news on the latest example of fulfilled contemporary prophecy:

“There is going to be a church-planting movement that is virtual and viral in the earth; not taking the place of the Church at all.”  (Dr Sharon Stone, 7th November 2019)

Click image for link

3Counties Church in Hammer, Haslemere has been running Sunday morning services from three different homes via YouTube for several weeks. However, last Sunday, 17th May, we had to come offline because the young teacher’s audio and visual signals were so badly out of synchronisation the picture kept wobbling.

Obviously, there wasn’t enough bandwidth for a joined-up broadcast. And do I recall a prophecy from some 6 months ago about church going online with ‘virtual’ services and even becoming viral??

Therefore, it’s no surprise Premier Christian News reports ‘Looks like the church broke the internet’; Zoom crashes as thousands stream Sunday services…

Here’s the full video message Dr Sharon Stone brought on “20 Kairos Words for 2020” where, at 52:22 minutes, she begins with the 19th word – Multiply: 

“Also, a word the Lord gave me about the ‘viral virtual church’…I think it’s going to get a lot of criticism in this next season but I think, with the billion souls harvest that has already begun, that it’s not going to be about ‘Do I have time to find another building? Do I have time to build a building?’…There is going to be a church-planting movement that is virtual and viral in the earth as well; not taking the place of the Church at all.”
