Behold the Hand! Behold the Nail!
More than saying His name correctly, or pronouncing it correctly... I have learned that He wants us to THINK about his name correctly! Just look at this verse:
Then they that feared the LORD spake often one to another: and the LORD hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the LORD, and that thought upon his name.Which name you may ask? Well lets start with the one used most often.... YHVH.... translated as LORD (all caps) which is used over 7000 times in the Bible. What does that name mean?
Mal 3:16 KJV
Well as you know God uses many layers.... and as with the Rev12 Sign, He uses pictures and visuals to illustrate His nature and plan. He can knit things together in amazing ways... so we should not be surprised to learn that His name points to what Jesus did on the Cross for us. But I was still surprised.... So I invite you to check out this link...first shared by my friend Hope over at The Call of The Bride.
I was blown away by what the name YHVH means! I hope it gives you even greater appreciation for just how AWESOME He is! (And I have a hunch that the author is still just scratching the surface!)
Here an excerpt and the link:
The simple truth is that YHVH is a BLAZING PROPHECY and trying to figure out how to pronounce His name was simply not His purpose in disclosing His Name. We are meant to know what His name means, and we should be spending out time meditating on the message for it is the greatest revelation to ever be disclosed to mankind. Could it be that the name is purposely unpronounceable because YHVH wants you to discover the mystery of Redemption and Salvation declared by each letter of His revealed name? If YHVH contains a message, then let’s discover what it means.
Hebrew Word Study – YHVH by CJ Lovick
I also want to share a video from The Unleashing YouTube channel for those of you who are not familiar with this young man named Jared. He is a veteran and on fire for Jesus and watching for His soon return. I just learned of this channel recently and have been really impressed with his passion and knowledge. He does talk fast, but boy does he share a lot of great information. He also has a natural ability to link things together in an easy to understand way.
Here is the video (23 min):

Thanks Brad. Yay. I am the 1st to comment :)
ReplyDeleteThink you Brad for posting this, a very deep topic to ponder! I would like to recommend to any of you STEPHEN PIDGEON at Cepher Publications (also on YouTube, please do a quick research), he has also very good word studies on the name of God giving different perspective from several scriptures. Here are several example articles from his blog

Blessings to you! All glory to God! HALLELUJAH
I was introduced to the study of The Name years ago through the Messianic and/or Hebrew Roots Movement and highly recommend it. Once you go down this path and genuinely study it, not to become legalistic on pronunciation, etc., as Brad clearly points out, you will be blessed beyond belief, for the study in itself opens the Scriptures up to a degree you will find hard to believe. The English translations have really, with no ill intent, done us a huge disservice by removing the meaning behind the names of Yahweh. Starting with the symbols from the Paleo, the ancient pictographic Hebric, and moving forward to be able to "see" the Trinity in operation in the Old Testament you will be so blessed. Has this been misused by those who are referred to as "The Sacred Name Movement", certainly. Does Jesus not hear our prayers unless we say Yeshua or Yahshua? What if we spell it wrong or pronounce it incorrectly? I was "saved" as a child when I cried out to Jesus, I was forgiven for backsliding when I cried out to Jesus. I do believe a bit more is expected of me, in order to be more pleasing, but not more saved, now that I've been given more knowledge. However, isn't that true with all wisdom we find as we sift and mine through the depths of scripture. We still have only scratched the surface. I highly recommend this area of study with one of my favorite "watch words" - Balance! Do not go off in the ditch on either side of the ride. What are the sides? It doesn't matter - the name Jesus and LORD has always worked for me so I don't need to know anything else. The other side - I dare not call Him anything for I might mispronounce or misspell the ineffable Name so I'll stick with Adonai. Balance and Blessing begin with the same letter and I won't go there now, but it's not a coincidence. Words matter and YHVH is big enough to handle our fumbles as we seek to draw closer to Him. Great word Brad, thank you. Blessings - Sherry
ReplyDeleteWondrous topic Brad. All I know is we have our very being in that NAME. Our Peace, our Provision, our Righteousness, our Healing, His presence, our Shepherd and our Banner. In that Name above all names is our Seven-fold Completeness. Looking forward to reading Hope's article as well as the other and yes, Jared's passion is truly inspiring. TY for posting all 3:-)
DeleteDear sister, just today was such a moment of prayer for me when I crossed the street during going for groceries and would somehow inexplicably stumble so hard in the middle of the road (it felt like the tip of the shoe was glued to the blacktop) that it made me literally pancake and glide with the face towards the curbside which I almost kissed... Wow, what a moment! After realizing that nothing was broken, my teeth still complete, trousers not shredded (groceries in my backpack not touched LOL!) and I was not overrun by the next car, I crawled to the other side to sit down and prayed to give thanks. The name I instinctively used was LORD JESUS. I know He always hears me... (Still everything is fine except some minor excoriations and I have another occasion to be pitied by my husband today) I just wanted to give an example of which name you are used to will instantly come out of your mouth without even thinking about it. Blessings to you and I agree with everything you said, Sherry!
DeleteOh, wow, Annabel, thankful that you are okay. It's like the enemy is trying to get in some hopefully last minute jabs at us. Blessings and Praying against any soreness:-)
DeleteYes, Annabel ... Glad you came out of this unscathed.
DeleteAnnabel, so happy you are OK and will be eligible for greater pity by hubby today. I contend you are are living example, prepared in advance for just this conversation. Yes, He knows our hearts, and that doesn't give us an excuse to be slovenly or not to learn or grow, it just says He is our Abba and throws out His arms as a blanket for our slide "almost" to kiss the curb. Great example Abba - thank you for your participation Annabel! Take a couple tylenol to alleviate the soreness which is surely coming your way. Blessings - Sherry
DeleteAnnabel, Praise Our Lord for Protecting you, amen. I once had a fall like that and it springs immediately to mind: walking along and SUDDENLY, mid-stride, I found someone had nailed my right foot to the ground, the MOST amazing thing. There's this instant, before the !!!!! sets in, it's like I was in a cartoon. I, also, spilled well but as I retell this I am now wondering if, perhaps, nah. Maranatha! Wonderful you are well, we cherish you surely.
DeleteJimboni, LOL exactly! Watching yourself falling like slow motion landing flat on your face, uugghh... :=D TY everybody I'm fine though, took a hot bath with valerian and tried hubbys 'miracle rhododendron balm' on the knees, it worked (again) over night! It's homeopathic and IDK how this can be but there must be sth inside... Anyways, thanks to Jesus who sent his angel once again (there were even more temptations than this last week but I don't want to digress from topic). Blessings and much love to you all, HALLELUJAH!
Deleteyes amen Sherry - my first intro to this was by a chap named Shane Willard many years ago and it continues to amaze me!
DeleteAlso reminds me of the passoverprophecy.com site you put me onto a while back (I think it was you anyway on unsealed)
Amen to all of this! Praying for you dear sister Annabel always! Maranatha!
DeleteIt was T&T - so much depth in the languages - Words do matter as we see Sheila and her little shovel prove every single day. With this idiot stripper bomber and now the evil shooter at the Synagogue with 8 now dead - 8 - New beginnings - hummm , Nonetheless, I always loved the old-timers admonition when you were a kid and angry - "Use your words." Our Abba Father certainly knows how to use His Words. Blessings - Sherry
DeleteI always thought YWVH meant "I Am". I really hadn't given this any thought. I read the article and listened to the two audio tapes. It is eye-opening and wondrous to learn! The first tape he spoke fast but on the second tape he talked normally.
ReplyDeleteI wasn't sure about Jared because on the last video I listened to, I felt anyway he spent an inordinate amount of time discussing not going to church. I didn't get this because of the passage on not forsaking our meeting together as some did. I think it would just have been a better thing to encourage a believer to find a church, if at all possible.
Well, I went and read a bit on this passage, Hebrews 10:25 and it seemed it was about not returning to Judaism and also in the near future destruction of Jerusalem and in meeting together to strengthen and encourage one another and to be of help and all of this. Not staying home because of fear of persecution, for example or other reasons used even today - not liking the pastor or someone in the church, etc. It may be difficult to meet someone who is looking forward to the Blessed Hope or in the rapture itself and so on. But, it would sure be nice to have flesh and blood bodies of believers in my life here now today. That's on me, tho as far as me, myself and I.
On this video in this post, His excitement is catching as He is pre-tribulation.
I don't see things as he does I guess as to those who are scoffers in attacking the pre-trib view (because they are mid or post or something else) and therefore they are left behind after the pre-rapture happens because they are worldly such as in prepping. He compares this to Matthew 7:21-23 and their asking why they are not in Heaven. This passage for me is not about one's view on the timing of the rapture but is on those who are trusting in their good works to save them. They think they are Christians because of all the good things they had done. But, God says he never knew them. They never trusted in Christ for salvation. I don't think we can say a person is not a believer because they are prepping for the Tribulation if that is what he meant.
I question if the majority of those who remain on earth after the rapture and before the Tribulation even know about a rapture. I know the world scoffs and mocks as to Jesus returning and in His coming back. They even joke about this or that being the 'rapture'. So, the word 'rapture' is out there just as alien life is joked about today, and is more widely accepted and all of that. But, I see these people left behind as unbelievers. Not backslidden as Jared used that word in referring to the "preppers" who scoff at the pre-rapture view and those who hold to it. If you want to prep because you honestly think we are in The Tribulation at some point of it, well more power to them. The scoffers and mockers are to me those who mock Christ's existence, His personhood and who He said he was. His divinity. His purpose here on Earth and what he came to do. His dying for our sin. Rejecting Christ. Not trusting in him alone for their salvation and his paying the price for their sin.
Cathi G., esp to you closing point I fully agree, shocking, Ikr. Go/No-Go is a Spirit-Filled Issue. (See that dot there? It's called a PERIOD.) However, caution is best in getting too finicky about works and evidences of the heart except as tools we Sophomores use to examine the specs in our own eyes, with insight. These things are all entangled and also with sifting and drawing out and bringing into the light as part of a Redemptive Process, in some cases. I simply stick to the 1st point as to GO/No-Go and say that everything beyond that is simply the working out of that individual's personal Tango with The Spirit, Maranatha!
Delete...To be clear, I don't mean to imply you were saying otherwise. I affirm you at ". If you want to prep because you honestly think we are in The Tribulation at some point of it, well more power to them." Got it. Good. Right on. I was just sayin' that trying to go much further than that leads to discovering that a shovel is the wrong tool to use to get out of a hole, amen? Ha! BOTH my posts are STILL shorter than yours, wow! Maranatha!
DeleteLol. I even edited it. Jimboni ... I get it. Tho, I am reminded of those who are saying you have to be living a a holy life and all these things to be ready for the rapture, i.e., the "partial rapture" belief. I remember a woman at a Bible study a long, long time ago expressing the belief with vehemence that if you were drunk when the rapture happened you would be left behind! I am sure my eyes were as big as saucers.
DeleteIt Is Finished means It Is Finished. The work that Christ did on the cross in paying the penalty for our sin was paid. Completely. Once and for all. I mean I wouldn't even know people are worrying about this and all of that if not having read comments on YT channels or those who teach this. If one believes in a 'partial rapture' for whatever reason than it would seem to follow they believe you can lose your salvation.
Gulp!! There's yer Monkey Wrench!
DeleteCathi, I see no problem with Hebrews 10:25 and "not going to (a local) church". We are 3 adults saved since 2005 and no sound congregation around ever since so we cannot join any. We own no car and have had other things to do than spend time and effort to find biblical sound teaching on Sunday somewhere nearby. We got internet though! I have suffered a lot from not being able to meet Christian friends in person but am at peace with Gods plan for us now. He has always provided with green pasture to grow in grace, even more than I would have had when compromising with a Laodicean church.
DeleteYou have to consider CONTEXT as well here. Verses 23-24 are not tied to visiting a local church in person at all whereas verses 26-27 talk about being lukewarm and living like 2 Peter 2:20-22 so these are unsaved from the start anyway (1 John 2:19). Hebrews 10:25 refers to Proverbs 18:1 i.e. his personal WALK with God but not necessarily "go to church" as some kind of DECREE. Malachi 3:16 is all what we also do here on this website, we don't need a (local) "church" to do so.
There are many who have hit me right in the face with quoting "not forsaking the assembly" but these were indeed the last people on earth I would have liked to join with to talk and learn about Jesus. I can understand very well what Br Jared is talking about. His new video about Matthew 24 just confirms to me how a Christian can very well grow much better in learning sound doctrine if listening to the Holy Spirit instead of some scribes and pharisees or the current "Jews only preachers" in church. Blessings to you!
Annabel~I have to agree with you regarding considering the CONTEXT of Hebrews 10:25. The verse just before it reads: [Heb 10:24 KJV] 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works". The word "consider" was translated from the Greek word katanoeō and means" to perceive, remark, observe, understand", "to consider attentively, fix one's eyes or mind upon". This calls for an assembly or fellowship that is intimate and honest which is very difficult to find in most so-called Christian churches today.
DeleteIt is important to be led of the Holy Spirit where or with whom you fellowship on a regular basis. Several years ago some friends of ours were led to attend a certain denominational church. They couldn't understand why the Spirit of the Lord sent them because the denomination did not believe in the gift of the Holy Spirit; HOWEVER, the man pastoring that church had recently become Spirit-filled and was subsequently fired because of his teachings. Our friends were there to "pick him up off the ground", encourage him, and offer him fellowship.
Cathi, agreed with the choices of who is Left Behind. The Left Behind are "head knowledge" christians who have never "trusted" and "Believed". I'm expecting to see some very shocked looking mid- and post tribbers as we arrive in Heaven, but I'm certain they won't be whining about it. The Parable of the Ten Virgins only makes sense if the foolish are head knowledge only - They were actually watching, just not intently and "expected" to be taken to Heaven. Since Salvation is not of Works lest any should boast, it can only mean they were in "agreement" with the historical trust and the rightness of His Teachings, but never Trusted and Believed, thus they are shocked they aren't included. Everyday no nothings would not expect to be taken. Works folks are just going to have a lot of wood, hay and stubble going up ! Blessings - Sherry
Delete"truth" not trust - silly fingers.
DeleteJust having watched Br Jared on 10/26 about "The economic floor is about to fallout worldwide" this is very fitting to this zerohedge article on plunging stock markets since September also please if you haven't watched the "World of Signs" channel for a long time please do so and evaluate your next possible vacation destiny in the light of Isaiah 24:19-20... (click!) It has never been looking better for us how near our redemption already is, hang in there, MARANATHA! :-)

ReplyDeleteOUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST
Hebrews 4:14-16
“Having then a great high priest, who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold tightly to our confession. For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need.”
We can have confidence to approach our Heavenly Father's throne of grace any time we need to receive mercy and grace to help us in our time of need. Our confidence is not based on our good works, our spiritual disciplines or even our obedience to God. Our confidence is based solely on our great high priest, Jesus Christ.
Since our Elder Brother took on the form of human flesh and understands our struggles (yet without sin), we can be confident that He represents us well to God. Jesus' once and for all sacrifice speaks on behalf of every believer who has received the free gift of His redemption. Because of our great high priest, we need not fear condemnation any longer (Romans 8:1) as we approach the throne of grace.
When our Heavenly Father sees us approaching Him, He doesn't see our imperfections and our faults. When He looks at us, He sees us just like His beloved Son, Jesus. For in God's eyes, we are in Him and He is in us (John 17:23) so there is no distinguishing between the two.
My prayer today is that we would have a heavenly assurance to know that we can approach our Father's throne of grace any time, day or night. Whether we have felt like we have had a good day or a bad day, may we have the boldness to know that we will find unconditional love and acceptance in His arms. It is important for us to always remember the reason why we can enjoy His unconditional love and acceptance... and that is because of our great high priest.
It has always been about Jesus and it will always be about Jesus. His shed blood on the cross was enough to vanquish all of our past, present and future sins. There is nothing that we could ever possibly add to what our elder brother has already done on our behalf.
May the truth of this eternal reality cause us to break agreement with every shame based, condemning thought that we think about ourselves that prevents us from approaching our Heavenly Dad with boldness. Our Father is waiting for us to approach Him... so let's all boldly go into His throne room!
John 16:25-27
“I have spoken these things to you in figures of speech. But the time is coming when I will no more speak to you in figures of speech, but will tell you plainly about the Father. In that day you will ask in my name; and I don’t say to you, that I will pray to the Father for you, for the Father himself loves you, because you have loved me, and have believed that I came forth from God.”

DeleteBeyond amazing!
Quoting from John 17:23 illuminated by John 10:30 might give even more depth to this understanding. ☝
DeleteIndeed, Sis! :-)
DeleteHi Nora, I followed you John 17:23 trail and ended up on another illuminating verse in that same chapter! Look at John 17:6:
Delete"I have manifested YOUR NAME to the people...."
Clearly Jesus did this when he was nailed to the cross on our behalf just like we have discussed! Behold the Hand. Behold the Nail. Thank you Nora!! I was very blessed by reading that chapter! : )
Amen Nora , reading and abiding, till that day comes
DeleteJohn 17:6 ... how encouraging! I love it how things/meanings "jump at you" while reading Bible verses!

Brad~loved that you shared about the name of the LORD and how it is associated with the Book of Remembrance. There is so much to consider there that I look forward to contemplating on it . . .
ReplyDeleteYesterday and today are certainly proving out to be unusual. Noting Colleen's last video I watched regarding her attention being drawn back to the Tree of Life and waking up this morning to an active shooting at the Tree of Life Synogogue in Pittsburgh, PA in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood. Surely made me wonder. So far 12 shot and 4 killed.
ReplyDeleteSquirrel Hill Jgem val--611
H#611--ason--mischief, evil, harm
Then I did watch Game 3 of World Series last night which crossed a threshold breaking the record for longest WS game ever. Over 7 hours 20 min. and 18 innings finally won by Dodgers with a walk-off home run hit by #13. They basically played 2 games in one last night. It ended around 2:30 am my time. So far they have now played "36" innings in just 3 games. Game 4 tonight and who knows?
Jimboni, I had not realized that when you spoke of peanuts, crackerjacks and never coming back that it was derived from the "Take me out to the Ballgame" song. The next part of that song starts out with "Let me root, root, root for the home team..." There are three stand out "roots" in Scripture. The Root of the Righteous, the Root of Jesse and the Root of David.
The Egem val of root, root, root is 1224.
Gk#1224--diabaino--to step across, pass through, come over.
Those words were "Once you cross the last stanza of the 43rd triangle, your feet will be on soft, but steady ground, you won't need shoes. The grass will be hard and sticky getting there." I know all these connections with the World Series are strange but they are there as seen by several other watchmen.
If a Triangle is an inning and a Stanza is a segment of an inning, then the last stanza of the 43rd triangle would NOW occur in Game 4 bottom of the 7th tonight on 10/27. Darren Jack has been pressing on Game 4 correlations as well. Rapture, I don't know, but "something" seems highly possible. CA very ripe for a big quake right now and Kilauea looks to be steaming like a teapot with building gases.
Blessings and Maranatha!
Yes, Sheila!
DeleteI tried to stay up and watch the game, but I gave up at the 10th inning and went to bed. Surprised (but not surprised) this morning to see the result!
The game broke a record and lasted 18 total innings (6 + 6 + 6). Both teams scored a run in the 13th on errors, and the game-winning home run was hit by a Dodger who wears #13.
I'm on to something else to if the Dodger's start who I think they will start on the mound tonight for Game 4. TBD...
Oh, and I forgot to add one: the game ended at 1:30 (EST).
DeleteLast week daily crow guy described stats on greecian earthquakes as "a ballpark perspective." Provocative word choice.
DeleteJeff, be sure to share whatever you catch. Really weird moment a few minutes ago. They were doing a flyover shot of this Tree of Life Synagogue building where the shootings occurred this morning and the first thing that flashed thru my mind when I saw the roof was "homeplate" with it's irregular pentagon shape.
DeleteI don't the why of all of these World Series Baseball connections other than it does represent a huge form of idolatry regarding the human passion for competitive sports and all that is entwined with that, but it did occur to me that The Almighty God might be signaling this World System and it's current "de facto" ruler that He is now ready to play ball and it is He who is the Master of it all. It is a widely televised platform especially in the US where it's looking more and more like this Nation may be the first one to be struck out.
G'day Family, Blessings ALL :) Caleb & I heading out for a bit, haven't really surfed yet, comments above amazing. It seems Sheila B. has found that her shovel doubles as a Scuba tank with one of those propeller thingy's, whirrrrrr, off she goes deep, deep, deep to the depths, wowzer, very nice work. The numbers entangled above shout out Rebellion and other details which I look forward to letting MANYFISH unpack, if not already posted. Those of us WATCHING The Greatest Game and feeling like we accidentally tuned in to The Longest Day by mistake can certainly appreciate what happened, yesterday, Maranatha! Catch up with y'all in a bit, hugs.
DeleteCy and Cry said it. There is a Greek/Gentile connection with this one (and a potential earthshaking event to boot). And so, echoing the Daily Crow, I give you a "ballpark perspective" on something that the Almighty is doing with this World Series. The Sovereign Lord is definitely playing ball and playing to win. And you know when He steps up to the plate, He is the only one who bats a 1,000.
DeleteAll right, my friends, here's a mystery that I've been chasing down this afternoon; there seems to be something going on with 4's (or 44's) and the theme of a hill:
(1) Game 3 concluded today here in the West (10/27) with a total of 7 hours, 20 minutes of play. That's a total of 440 minutes. Game 4's potential starter for the Dodgers has a significant name and number: Rich Hill (#44). His name captures the essence of our country well—the city on a hill that grew rich. The "hill" or mound is a common phrase in baseball when a pitcher gets in position (i.e. Rich Hill, #44, will take the hill/mound for Game 4).
(2) Next, a phrase from a OT passage comes to mind: Isaiah 40:4, in the King James vernacular, "...every mountain and hill shall be made low..." (*there's the 44 and the hill again).
(3) Also on 10/27 we have the shooting at a Jewish synagogue in Squirrel Hill.
(4) Rich Hill's teammate is Yasiel Puig, a right-fielder for the Dodgers who wears #66 and bats 6th in the lineup. The name "Puig" is Spanish/Catalan meaning, yes, "hill." And his first name is Hebrew for "whom God made." Together, we have "the hill whom God has made."
(5) Next, I offer you that Dodger Stadium is adjacent to a symbol of American prosperity and fame, Beverly Hills (*a Weezer song is coming to mind, "Beverly Hills that's where I want to be...").
(6) Last, but certainly not everything in this thread, the band Hillsong is playing tonight (10/27) during Game 4 at the famous Greek Theatre in Los Angeles.
Help me! Lol. What's going on??? That's all I've got for now. Just had to get this out.
Peace, brothers and sisters. Come, Lord Jesus!
Oh my, Jeff...hanging on to my chair here. It's just so incredible, there ARE no odds. Add that to Darren Jack's 4 correlations, Scriptural and otherwise, with this Game 4 and it's jaw-dropping to say the very least.
DeleteThe World Series score is currently 4-4 in Game 4...
DeleteRich city on the hill also brings Laodicea to mind. Very defensible location - except that citizens who were exporting eye medicine were too blind and lazy to keep watch and failed to notice enemy climbing their hill.
Delete@Jeff, did you ever do a research on who invented Baseball and what it means? How can you take it as an 'analyzer tool' for Christians then?
Deletehttps://www.remnantradio.org/Archives/articles/Baseball/baseball.htm
Also don't you know who Hillsong is? I am not even American and am informed about them... MARANATHA, time is short now! Blessings to you!
Annabel - so funny you mention this... was just watching a Charles Lawson video yesterday where he mentioned the Masonic history of the game... I was shocked, as I had never heard of that. Thanks for the article... very interesting.

ReplyDeleteA SON FREELY GIVES WHAT HE RECEIVES
“As you go, preach, saying, ‘The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand!’ Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers and cast out demons. Freely you received, so freely give. Don’t take any gold, silver, or brass in your money belts. “(Matthew 10:7-9)
Jesus gives this charge to His disciples just before He sends them out into the world to proclaim the good news of the Kingdom. He commands them to do some pretty big things as they go along the way... Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers and drive out demons. No biggie... right?
Well, not exactly. In their own strength, every one of these things that Jesus commanded them to do would be impossible. But the key to them accomplishing these 'mountain moving' kind of tasks was when Jesus said... Freely you have received, freely give.
A son's life is learning how to give to others what he first received. Jesus modeled this in the way that He lived in complete dependence upon His Dad. In John 5:19-20, He told His disciples that He could do nothing apart from His Father. In John 14:10 Jesus said that it was the Father living in Him that was doing the work. In John 15:9, Jesus told His disciples that He loved them exactly in the same way as He Himself was loved by His Father.
I believe that this is one of the greatest principles in the Kingdom that we can learn... We can only give away what we have first received. Peter and John operated in this principle when they healed the cripple in Acts 3 when they told him... "Silver and gold have we none, but what we have, we give to you."
In 1 John 4:19, the Apostle John reminds us that the reason we are able to love in the first place is because He FIRST loved us. Papa initiates... we receive. He loves and we respond to His love. I believe this is what Paul is talking about in Romans 8:14 when he said...” For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.” The Spirit of God initiates, and then we simply follow.
A son who knows how to receive, draws from the riches of his Father's inheritance in Christ. The more that he receives, the more that his cup will overflow to those around him (Psalm 23:5). It is in this abundance that rivers of living water will gush out of our belly (John 7:38). Though we will never be the initiators of this river, by positioning our hearts to receive, we can certainly be recipients who have enough left over to water all who are thirsty around us!
I believe the Christian life is that simple. If I don't have it, I can't give it. I'm not saying that I haven't tried to give when I had nothing to give, because I have. ...But it has never been a pleasant experience. All I ended up doing was exhausting myself and others (which is not consistent with the easy yoke that my Big Brother promised me in Matthew 11:28-30).
Religion on the other hand, is the practice of trying to initiate to God something of our own making in order to please Him and justify ourselves. It is not a response to God, but rather our own initiation of something that we perceive to be spiritual. In the name of 'working for the Lord' or 'being all things to all men', if we are not careful, the result may just be a piling up of a bunch of wood, hay and stubble.
(pt.2.)
ReplyDeleteIn Romans 12:1-2, the Apostle Paul tells us to present our bodies as living sacrifices to God. Oftentimes we will use this Scripture passage to justify all the good works that we initiate... but we will miss the point entirely if we skim over the first few words of verse 1 where Paul says... "In view of God's tender mercies". Everything after these first few words should be done in a response to our loving God and Father. When He pours out His tender mercies, there is no other appropriate response other than worshiping Him. He initiates - we receive and then we respond.
An orphan on the other hand, does not feel that he has access to such a rich free flowing inheritance so he has to be the driver behind every effort. After all, the reason why a person struggles with an orphan mindset in the first place is simply because they are not yet convinced that God is really their Dad. If they truly haven't embraced the sonship that Jesus died to bring them into, then it is understandable that they would feel like they have to do things all on their own. But that it not the gospel story.
Even in the beginning of humanity, it was the Father who gave everything to man and woman as a gift. Lots of animals to befriend, a weed-free garden, and of course daily strolls with the Almighty in the cool of the day. It was only when they were driven from the Garden, that God told Adam that part of the curse would be that he would have to work by the sweat of his brow. This was not a blessing, but part of the curse.
The whole point of Jesus coming to the world two thousand years ago was to restore us to the place of being sons and daughters to the Father (Galatians 4:6-7). Because of what our Big Brother has done, we now can live in the fullness of the abundant life that Jesus secured on our behalf (John 10:10). And part of that abundance involves us freely giving away to others what we freely received ourselves.
My prayer today is that we would all be so overwhelmed with God's love that our life would be a continual response to His kindness. And may we be so caught up in a dance where He leads and we simply follow, that it would never occur to us to enter back into a place of self-effort ever again. For it is continuing to live in a posture of receiving that we will truly be filled with the full measure of the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:19).
Who knows, maybe in our overflow, we will see the same wonders that the disciples experienced when they saw the sick healed, the oppressed set free and the dead raised back to life.

Just a sidenote, as I'm currently a bit 'shocked' how many professing Christians are trying to draw divine messages or prophecies from numbers, dreams, news articles or masonic games like Baseball (yes, also Br Todd does...). This is not even 'divine' but 'divination', pun intended. So I'd like to ask you, how are you not aware (logically thinking) that when we historically very soon reach the point of earth being dumped into 100% delusion of Satan and we have now let's say 98,99% of it that you would STILL trust all these news, numbers and symbols put out there in the world to be effectively used to interpret TRUTH? I mean, come on... Check this out please about the Unicorn symbolism exploding for example (just an example!) but in fact we're being HAMMERED with all kinds of these occult symbols and STILL taking them serious??
ReplyDeleteWhy are we being inundated with Unicorn symbolism? (Truthstream Media 10/27/18)
MARANATHA! Have a blessed Sunday altogether! Perhaps you should indeed ponder more upon the name of the LORD as proposed especially in this thread instead of all these occult topics, too much distraction for the minds of the saints indeed... Much love!

Some very salient points Annabel, and I must admit I do get concerned about how often we delve into dreams etc without the 'test all things' 1 Thessalonians 5:12 that God commands us to do. There are a couple of YTC speakers/dreamers etc that are mentioned in these blogs quite frequently who have been proven wrong a few times, and that should be enough to set off alarm bells for the rev12daily readers.
DeleteThe ones I appreciate the most are the 'brother breaker' equivs who say 'now it could mean this, but I am not 100% certain', and who work hard to test all they receive against scripture.

DeleteI always enjoy your take on these things Annabel. It is always refreshing to read your comments.
ReplyDeleteThat was an interesting article about the Unicorns, that lady is correct, Unicorns are everywhere now, I didn't l realise it was a symbol used by the Illuminati to represent the Anti-Christ. And it is sickening how many young kids, flash the "A OK", "paaarty", "peace man", "Rabbit Ears" symbols without realizing what it symbolizes.. I so cant wait to get off this place and enjoy a good wedding feast..
Also yes, the financial collapse has started, it is just the "common man" doesn't know it yet. Things are about to get very ugly. very quickly.
Hopefully any day now we will meet our LORD and Savior in the Air..
Annabel's cautions are well warranted, surely, yet this is also a complex spot of turf. For those who have actually played the game, not simply used it as a metaphor, this is 4-D chess. Yes, we are not to practice 'divination', or classically, the interpretation of the spirits through the creation (reading the Tea Leaves, Entrails, ...) , however, even that is a typical spin on a True dynamic. The Lord is Truth and Foundation which is reflected in His Creation. So much so that He, Himself, Calls All to account for the Clarity with which His Person is visible throughout His Creation (Psalm 19).
ReplyDeleteThen the Enemy twists, but the Lord Co-Opts, as He is SOVEREIGN Over ALL. Unpacking details within communications KNOWN to be 'tainted' is called counter-intelligence. You know that they know and are twisting the info based upon their knowing and also knowing that you know that they likely know. On a side note, quite possibly, Kilauea/Hector may well have been this level of attempted deception, even to the point of their existing (volcano/Hurricane) at all. Knowing that, unpacking the True Info within it, is a PERSONAL matter, as led by The Spirit. YTC Ministers who unpack the FIRST LAYER ONLY, like MANYFISH does a great job at, simply apply their personal robust 'screen' to the data, as also led of The Lord, and posit some findings' or correlations. What we have there is not "Truth" but insight, and generally, most present it that way.
So, let's agree to remove our shoes and walk tentatively, we walk on holy ground, while also agreeing that there is a LOT more afoot here than meets the eye and, Hallelujah!, Our Lord is in charge of it ALL and He Drops Clues Throughout! Amen!
Thanks, Jimboni. Well said.
DeleteI just watched the latest from Many Fish. Wow, there is a Simpson's episode that depicts a dream where Homer is playing baseball in a ballpark that resembles Fenway (Boston). Homer hits a homer that "breaks the sky" and a flood of water falls to the earth and everyone is fighting for their lives.
Very interesting. I agree about the counter-intelligence/psy-op argument. The LORD is absolutely sovereign over all of this mystery, and yet we have the unseen/seen powers of darkness that love to hog all the glory that is only due to our God.
Game 5 in LA tonight. I'll be interested to see if this goes back to Boston, or if we have a disruption of some kind. Or, maybe Boston wins it all tonight and people can stop thinking about baseball for while (*whew*). God only knows.
Staying alert, though :)
Jeff, thank you; just trying to keep some clarity and some peace amongst us cats in this sack. Funny, why does Paperback Writer, ala The Beatles, spring to mind? Commentary on the Nitty Gritty of it all, no?
DeleteJimboni, I would like to disagree so far as there's in fact NO biblical example to be found throughout scriptures when a man of God / prophet / apostles etc. would go and interpret some heathen idol or content (whatsoever) to find some more of "divine layer" of insight. Not in prophecy neither in dreams nor as personal message. All I can remember in a negative way is Saul asking the witch of Endor to seek for hidden information concerning his own fate but that would not be my proper example to follow... Please provide with scripture in this case to prove your argument so we might agree about this.
DeleteActually Annabel, that statement is not quite accurate imo. The dreams that Daniel and Joseph were asked to interpret were those of men who were certainly not men who worshipped The Almighty God of the Bible and much of the prophecy we read came through that method. Throughout Scripture, the prophets, apostles and men of God were not blind to the heathen idols and their worshippers, but they DID NOT become idol worshippers by recognizing the existence of it and dealing with it as guided by God.
DeleteRegarding we who are occupying in these last days, if it's your opinion that none are given dreams or visions or ever hear a word in the Spirit from the Lord, then so be it, but that's not how I read it. We are all called to different tasks and if I ignore what I believe is His leading in order not to offend those who reject His desire to reveal that it is His Hand that truly guides everything in whatever way He chooses, I feel like that would be an insult to my Savior and our relationship. When I prayed about my own inability to understand exactly what I see,
He dropped it in my heart to go read Jer.18:1-6 KJV.
We are called to many different tasks in a dark world that as yet must still be navigated with whatever light He is willing to shed before us and to lament those who are seeing things in a different way than you do calls into question not only our desire, but His as well. You dive into the Apochrypha, I dive into the Strong's--neither one Canonized. You cite @theplanetruth guy, I cite @many fish on some things--both FE guys. While we all should be led to watch for Biblically prophesied events, you are led to observe different secular events than I'm led to observe and none of us have perfect understanding of all we are seeing, hearing, reading, dreaming, numbering etc. Still, it's His hand over EVERYTHING. It is His Signature I search for and will continue to search for in everything that I feel led to look at, pray about and try to discern, as will you, I'm sure.
CJ Lovik's article above re the message on the Name above all names clarifies this quite clearly. We are told to BEHOLD THE HAND, BEHOLD THE NAIL!
(and Colleen Minter's dreams--for one--have led to a recent putting forth of this very message of that AUTHORITY through an understanding of our God's usage of numbers. I believe that's inspiration rather than divination.)
Maybe it's just me, but I appreciate every single contribution to this highest Watch EVER for the return of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ--unless the point is to malign, deflate, or unkindly discourage a member of the Body of Christ from their watching for Him. That, to me is what really indicates the presence of another spirit at work.
Blessings and Maranatha:-)
Dear Sheila, just to clarify before we get too deep into it: especially Joseph and Daniel submitted to God completely who alone (!) gave insight and knowledge of how to interpret their dreams correctly. This is exactly how we also have to prove dreams, very good example indeed. But even Paul didn't interpret the poets and philosophers of the heathen to draw prophecy of God from them but he only gave some quote as an example in Acts 17:28 to prove his argument. IDK if you got my point though. I am not saying anything against numbers or dreams in itself but I don't think that there's SCRIPTURAL prove for taking e.g. Freemasonic topics and events to draw truly divine insight from it. I cannot find ANY example of how any godly man acted like that in the bible (nor even in the apocrypha books) so all I asked for was scriptural prove for what I have observed. I apologize if I might not have expressed myself clearly enough. Peace. ;-)
DeletePS: As for scriptural interpretation of dreams I e.g. like very much the gift of both #Kay Tdid and of #Watchwoman YT channels. Just to mention those in case you want to check them out. But that was not my point here.
DeleteAnnabel~I very recently discovered Watchwoman YT Channel and was delighted with her spiritual insight as well--so much so that I included it in my blog post yesterday (http://lynmelvin.blogspot.com/2018/10/o-gathering-o-jubilee.html).
DeleteShe recently paralleled today’s events with Jeremiah 13:15-21 (https://youtu.be/nkw_cKQyiEM) as Sean Osbourne did in his recent post (https://eschatologytoday.blogspot.com/2018/10/global-sitrep-d-5-18-jeremiah.html).
NORA--thank you for pointing out that Eschatology Today article!
Okay, Annabel, but under the circumstances, if it's of this world, it's either freemasonic, illuminati, or something to do with the luciferian NWO. That's pretty much everything around us and we're swimming in some dark waters. But while our God is probably not going to be speaking through any of us in quite the same way that He did with those who would be penning the Scriptures, or even in the way He will be speaking through some during the Tribulation period, I do believe He is giving many of the Brethren today enough vision or insights to encourage one another of the fact that He is and always has been in COMPLETE control of it ALL. Whether we like it or not, all major events/endeavors in this world are His to use to His liking, imho. Peace back at you:-)
DeleteShared it gladly, Lyn! :-) Blessings
DeleteSheila B., Thanks, good to know I'm not alone in this mindset. Annabel, your retort is very valid. I have not yet endeavored to answer your charge, but I will. We know that Our Lord is over everything and nothing is outside His Will. However, as you are seemingly bringing us to address, this does not necessarily imply that we can 'see' or draw insights from apparent patterns not specifically given for such.
DeleteIn short, I believe Sheila B. is on the path I will pursue and will be able to strongly make the case you ask for, but maybe not. His Ways are FAR above ours, so, what seems intuitively obvious may not be His Plan, as you remind us diligently. My spirit is well at ease with the work we do, so not terribly motivated, and life pulls in many directions and not sure when I will pull this together, especially as it will likely be a bit of a stretch pulling obscure details into focus. Yet, I agree it is a work needing to be done. Thank you for your Fealty to the Word, amen, it helps all us Bereans live up to the moniker, Maranatha!
So, setting in to spend some time chatting with Our Lord on this, immediately sensing Him Drawing me to Matthew 16:2-3 and planning on mulling upon that, a while. Pop over to YTC and ITISFINISHED latest announces Matthew 16:4 as it's hook, hmmm. That's interesting, he cites 16:4 but quotes 16:2, which is what where I am going, hmmm.Still watching it and encourage all to go see Todd's latest, esp the beginning. So mature, so balanced. Thanks, Todd, Maranatha!
DeleteJimboni, TY for heads up on Todd's latest. Really good. (He was pointing out those blue looking monoliths coming up again, too, so hmmm on that. Re the Matt. verses, as I was reading over them, what I see there is unbelievers demanding a sign in order to make them believe, while a believer will see the signs because they have already believed. What I find compelling is that it's usually multiple people who are drawn to pay attention to a given thing in the same time frame and it seems that each of them see a different aspect of it i.e. the LA Dodgers evolving from the 1888 Brooklyn Bridegrooms was an interesting note. (I also found it interesting along the lines of Jeff's "rich hill" correlations that Pearce and Price played key roles in taking the Victory in game 5. (He was pierced to pay a price so we could be saved by grace?)
DeleteI've had something else rolling around in my spirit today I need to pray more about, but it concerns indictments---in the sense of something serving to illustrate that a system or situation is so bad, it deserves condemnation. Kind of wondering if a lot of the things we've been drawn to look at, but haven't appeared to materialize yet are still in the indictment stage? Blessings and Maranatha!
Dear @all, as I seem not to be capable to express myself properly in my own words I would like to quote one of our brethren named "Anon" who wrote more elaborately on this topic like this (I take him as a 2nd witness) on 10/29 on the unsealed.org page regarding the current political convergence and news hype as 'Monumental changes happening in the world':
Delete>>Sometimes I actually get to thinking that these tidbits are what the 'illumjnati' sources refer to when they say "the masses, disallusioned with Christianity. .. " as a reference to people getting let down and fed up with these failed prophecies (because people generally link their info with biblical info in some sort of seemingly undeniable way)...
Dont get me wrong I get excited about these dates and whispering too. Unfortunately for some they seem like a source of fear and impending doom. Or they simply become huge let downs because the people making the connections just seem so darn sure that it's biblically sound.
Sure, one of these days (soon) some astoundingly amazing things are going to happen. And some of them will be clandestinely orchestrated by evil men; some will be so great and amazing that they are the direct intervention of God.
However, most people don't even realize how intricately the events (and hoaxes) are being controlled... They will believe anything. So too will they believe whatever narratives come out, no matter how huge, amazing or evil the upcoming events are.<<
Again, you still owe me some prove of SCRIPTURE to interpret things like that... MARANATHA!
Part I
DeleteThe key question is what is ok and what is not ok as far as looking for signs. A rebuke like Annabel and Ryan offered, can have the effect of confusing and crushing more than intended. For what it is worth, here is my consideration of as many sides of the discussion as I can see. I am trying here to be unbiased towards brothers and sisters, with an unmovable bias towards whatever Scripture and the Holy Spirit say. Forgive me if I misrepresent anyone, especially Scripture, and please let me know, so that I may correct it.
Jeff, Jimboni and Sheila have discussed numbers and places related to baseball recently noticing patterns and peculiarities relating to its origins and history. (This is not just about them though, as certainly I have done similar things.) I see no evidence of them interpreting the patterns as this must mean this or that regarding what God will do. Perhaps they did. I will leave it to them to decide. That is a more accurate definition of divination: Looking for patterns in various things AND INTERPRETING them as meaning God is saying this or that. In other words, they have made no predictions yet only a possible suggestion because of the phrase which Sheila heard (the 43rd triangle declaration). That is what started the discussion. Sheila is trying to understand the declaration. And it is interesting how so many patterns abound and connections can be made. And when we see patterns and design, we often look for the designer or the real story. Like in scripture, the names of places and the numbers often point us to God’s handiwork. There is a clear line between divination and seeing the hand of God, and that line is presuming to understand what the patterns mean beforehand. (There is a distinction between patterns and signals.)
Annabel and Ryan, your rebuke regarding divination is a good thing for sometimes the lines get a little obscured and we can be tempted to do more than just MARVEL AT HIS WORK. (Ryan, your rebuke about dreams was unfortunately too generic to be of use. I think if you see an interpretation of a dream that is unscriptural or proves false, you should call it out specifically, so that it can edify.) Yet, 1 Corinthians 14:1 seems to indicate that our desire to understand the signs and speak the heart and truth of God is a good thing. Perhaps that is not an ideal use of that verse, don’t beat me up over that please.
1 Corinthians 10:23 All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful, but not all things edify. This tells us how we know if what we are doing is good: DOES IT EDIFY?
Numbers 22:21-39 Balaam’s donkey: The donkey spoke only because Balaam wouldn’t pay attention to the obvious signs (running him into the wall etc…). This tells us it is important to PAY ATTENTION TO SIGNALS, especially when they repeat themselves.
Deuteronomy 18:9-14 This warning against divination like many, if not all, in scripture is coupled with witchcraft, sacrificing people, and casting spells. In my opinion, this helps us understand that this is not exactly the same as seeking the Lord and looking for Him in patterns etc… Yet, I will concede that there is a point at which we can get too caught up in patterns and numbers and begin to fall into its pitfalls.
Luke 19:40 But Jesus answered, “I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!” This begs the question, can creation be quieted from proclaiming the majesty of God? No, His majesty can be seen and heard in all of creation. Perhaps not in baseball, though, for it was not created by Him (though I heard a pastor recently say, jokingly, “baseball is God’s favorite sport”, LOL.)
Part II
Delete1 Peter 4:7-19
7 The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer. 8 Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins. 9 Be hospitable to one another without complaint. 10 As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. 11 Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
1 Corinthians 7:20 This verse reminds us to “bloom where we are planted” as the common expression says. Its relevance here is that we are all in different situations, and we should use our circumstances to the advantage that it provides. Who you are in Christ and where you are in Christ is who God has made you and where He has put you. Thank Him for that and use your unique gifts and perspective for the benefit of the Body.
Proverbs 21:2 Every man’s way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts. Praise the Lord for this, because even though our actions and methods are wrong sometimes, the Lord sees our hearts.
Revelation 21:4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away.
Just meditate on that last verse. This is the place and circumstance we are moving toward. Every bit of pain it takes to get there is worth it and nothing in comparison to the joy. Amen.
Miguel P, very well done, thank you. This expedition was certainly going to be far and wide and tying things together conceptually and at a higher level, as you have done. I am afraid that no specific Scriptural example leaps to mind of data being extracted as we do here and then that being affirmed by the Word. On one hand, I am certain my Word knowledge is at fault, as the implications from Matthew 16:2-3, alone, clearly provide adequate Guidance here and your others simply line up and clarify quite solidly, imho. The very Rebuke Our Lord Gives for leaders of that day for NOT Watching things CLEARLY IN FRONT OF THEM and outside the realm of TRADITIONAL 'SIGNS ' and INFERRING VALID CONCLUSIONS concerning their 'moment' loudly affirms what we do here. The fine point which clarifies, and which you hit directly upon, is then using this info to put the Divine into a box, is ungodly. "There is a clear line between divination and seeing the hand of God, and that line is presuming to understand what the patterns mean beforehand. "
DeleteClearly Our Lord Loves to Teach us about Himself and uses stories and patterns which reveal Truth to do so. Numbers and icons and concepts are all part of this. When we have a relationship with this menagerie of metaphors, from the start, it is only a predictable outcome that our minds will craft associations, as Our Lord DESIGNED US TO DO with some being given an extra measure in specific areas (ROMANS 12:6; the 'Nike' verse: JUST DO IT!)(1 Cor 12:28). THIS ALSO IS HIS DIVINE WILL. Can you SEE it? Maranatha
Romans 12:6
DeleteMiguel, extremely wise and astute observations, Brother and taken to heart. We are living in such strange unchartered times as I have said before and there are days when it's very difficult to determine what exactly it is we might be witnessing. This is where I truly appreciate the solid Words of Scripture posted above and perhaps the reason Nora is being led of late as she is to post them regularly for our grounding.
DeleteActually the baseball thing began for me with an actual dream about baseball players and home runs being made back on 9/22. I paid attn to it simply because not ever have I cared one whit about baseball or any other team sport being played. I saw it the same way I saw, along with many others, all of the correlations with the recent Triple Crown winner Justify.
Just signals, or as some would say, "winks" that He is with us in Spirit and that He IS on the way. And it's just a joy to share that common ground of anticipation with other Believers.
But as you say, we must never cross that line and take these things as "thus sayeth the Lord". I don't believe I have ever insinuated that and God forgive me if I did. As Jimboni has been careful to point out, the human brain is capable of storing and sorting data, then at some point exuding it in some odd ways. This is why when I do feel led to share something seen, dreamed, or heard, I try to always preface what I feel about it with an "I believe" it means this or that, leaving open the option for a discounting re my own understanding. I probably do not share even half of what I feel the Lord reveals to me in prayer, dreams etc., but on the other hand, there are those things I feel pressured to share whether I want to or not. The point of those things I BELIEVE have been to encourage the Body to stay alert and keep awake as the day draws ever nearer.
TY very much for your kind, loving and well-balanced input. God is so good to provide us with such when things start to get a bit skewed. Blessings and Maranatha!

ReplyDeleteA SON KNOWS HOW TO FIGHT
“For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds…”
(2 Corinthians 10:4)
In 1 Timothy 6:12, Paul instructs his spiritual son Timothy, to fight the good fight of faith. Later on, near the end of Paul's life, he reflects on his own journey and declares... I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: (2 Timothy 4:7 KJV)
As I get older, I am becoming more reflective about my life and the legacy that I will leave behind when I transition to glory. It is my hope and prayer that at the end of my own race, I will be able to say the same thing as Paul did. That I have fought the good fight, that I finished my race and I have not lost heart.
If my life was a 15 round boxing match, I am most certainly in the last 5 rounds. ...And I want to keep on fighting right until the end. Now you may surprised that a 'Fatherheart guy' like me would devote an entire blog to fighting. What are we fighting? Who are we fighting? Isn't the love of God meant to dismantle our need to contend and battle like we used to?
To answer these questions, I first want to point out that in this week's focus verse, Paul writes that the way we fight as beloved sons and daughters is opposite from the ways that the world fights. In the world, the biggest, strongest and richest dominate. In the Kingdom of our Papa, it is the poor, the weak and the foolish that God has chosen to be His champions (1 Corinthians 1:26-29). As a matter of fact, in Papa's Kingdom, the greatest is actually the one who is the smallest (Matthew 18:1-4). Go figure!
So before we can have a good understanding of the fight that we are called to wage, we need to understand what our weapons are. I think the best description that we can find in one place to describe our weaponry is found in Galatians 5:22-23 which describes the evidence of the Holy Spirit's fruitfulness in our lives...
Galatians 5:22-23
The fruit of the Holy Spirit within you is divine love in all its various expressions. This love is revealed through: Joy that overflows, Peace that subdues, Patience that endures, Kindness on display, A life full of virtue, Faith that prevails, Gentleness of heart, and Strength of spirit. (TPT)
If you have never thought of the fruit of the Spirit as being your biggest, best weapons, think again. In Romans 16:20, Paul writes that it is the God of 'peace' that will crush Satan's head. And it is the peace that passes our understanding (Philippians 4:7) that will help us sleep through even the greatest of storms (Luke 8:23). And it is perfect love that casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). It is helpful to note that the greek word for 'cast' is the same word used when Jesus 'cast' out devils. Needless to say, it is a pretty aggressive description of love's impact on fear.
In Ephesians 6:10-17, Paul makes a list of the armor that we are meant to go into battle with... The belt of truth that will set us free (John 8:32); Our heart protected by a breastplate that declares us righteous; Our feet fitted with the Prince of Peace's own shoes (John 14:27); A really big shield of faith (trust) that protects us from condemnation (Romans 8:1) and the helmet of salvation that shields our minds from the endless nattering from the father of lies (John 8:44).
The only offensive weapon in our arsenal is the sword of the Spirit which is the spoken {hray'-mah} Word of God. It is important to remember that the armor we are called to wear is not our armor, but God's. And the only offensive weapon that we will ever need comes from God Himself when He speaks on our behalf.
(pt.2.)
ReplyDeleteWhenever I think of personally going into battle, I picture myself as a little boy outfitted with oversized knight's armor roaring in the face of his enemy. While the enemy is indeed terrified at the sight, it isn't really this little boy that gives him the fright, but the little boy's Dad who is standing behind him!
Just the thought that Almighty God would have a protective, ferocious Father's heart for me is enough to set my heart at rest and send even the most formidable enemy running.
I think this picture goes along with Romans 8:31 which says 'If God is for us, who can stand against us?" The picture of the biggest, best Dad in the universe watching over me (as I think I am actually the one doing the fighting), is absolutely heart warming and reinforces Romans 8:33 which says... “Who dares accuse us whom God has chosen for his own? No one—for God himself has given us right standing with himself.” (NLT)
It is true that we all have been given weapons of righteousness to wield in our right hand and in our left (2 Corinthians 6:7) but ultimately the battle is The Lord's (2 Chronicles 20:15). It is only when we realize this to be true that we can actually stop trying to fight for ourselves and simply trust that He is fighting on our behalf (Exodus 14:14).
When we begin to understand that we are the strongest when we are the weakest (2 Corinthians 12:9), we will be able to cease from our own works so that we can enter into the rest of our Abba (Hebrews 4:9-11). I believe it is from this place of resting in the finished work and ultimate victory of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that we can begin to believe that we are more than conquerors no matter what life throws at us (Romans 8:37).

ReplyDeleteThis week's Scripture passage tells us that the weapons that our Papa has given us have divine power to pull down strongholds. And where do these strongholds exist? ...in our mind! In order to better understand this battle, let's read the verses around this week's text...
2 Corinthians 10:3-5
For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (NIV)
The fight we are called to fight is not with people or even with orphan world systems. What we are called to resist is the ultimate lie that tries to convince us that we aren't who God says we are. Jesus told us that the work of God is to believe in the One He sent (John 6:29) for it is in believing the truth that we will be set free.
Our fight is simply learning to stand (Ephesians 6:13) in our true identity as Papa's beloved kids so that we can live a life of love (Ephesians 5:1-2). It is only when we stand firm in the truth (reality) of who we really are in Christ, that we can resist the relentless lies that say otherwise. The end result is that when we resist the devil, he has no choice but to run the other way (James 4:7).
So brothers and sisters, my prayer today is that you would continue to fight the good fight, that you would continue to run your unique race and that you would keep the faith in the One who has declared you completely loved and accepted! Having done all to stand, my prayer is that you would keep on standing, so that you can really enjoy the fruitful life of love that your God and Father has secured for you this very moment. (1 John 4:16)
Ephesians 6:10-17
“Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world’s rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having the utility belt of truth buckled around your waist, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having fitted your feet with the preparation of the Good News of peace; above all, taking up the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God”

This is correct. It's all about STANDING. That's why we are warned not to believe we could stand against Satans attacks from our own strength / pride / knowledge in independence from God. 1 Corinthians 10:12

ReplyDeleteEschatology Today: MidEast Wars Magnified
ReplyDelete"The two key elements to the escalation are:
1.) The US, with full concurrence of the NATO allies, declared that if this new Russian cruise missile were operationally deployed and capable of delivering a nuclear weapon then the US would then be looking at preemptively taking it out. 2.) US President Donald Trump upped the ante by stating the US would unilaterally withdraw from the INF Treaty."
....
"Without any doubt this will develop further, being either exacerbated or stimulated by events occurring in the Middle East. So, and with respect to the title of this SITREP - how are MidEast wars magnified? They are magnified when they become global nuclear war."

ReplyDeleteA SON DOESN'T THROW STONES
“Then the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman caught in adultery. And when they had set her in the midst, they said to Him, “Teacher, this woman was caught in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses, in the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. But what do you say?” This they said, testing Him, that they might have something of which to accuse Him. But Jesus stooped down and wrote on the ground with His finger, as though He did not hear.
So when they continued asking Him, He raised Himself up and said to them, “He who is without sin among you, let him throw a stone at her first.” (John 8:3-7)
I have recently read lots of people’s opinions, blogs, Facebook posts, etc. that are dealing with a wide variety of issues ranging from Christian theology to secular morality. To be honest, I have grown a little tired of the over-the-top chatter that I have been exposed to. I know it is my own fault for taking the time to read as much of it as I do, but considering that the field of influence that I feel called to plow is primarily on the Internet, I guess I just want to be tuned in to what other people are saying and why they are saying it.
I realize that I am guilty of contributing to all of the digital clutter on the Internet through my own postings, so I want to be careful how I express my own opinions. I am all for being opportunistic in how we use the worldwide web to share the good news and I want to take every opportunity myself. I am all for being faithful to the Scriptures and for being true to our understanding of theology. The thing is, this medium that is responsible for you reading this blog, which has so much potential for good, also has an equal amount of potential for evil.
It is this tension of how we express our opinions that I want to address this week. And so I want to talk about throwing stones. If you lived in the times when the Bible was written, getting ’stoned’ would have a completely different context than today. If you were looking for a big rock to hurl in biblical times, it would usually mean that you wanted to kill somebody.
In a good way, we read how a young shepherd boy named David used a single stone to his advantage to take down a giant adversary. But most of the stone throwing we read about in the Bible served as a means for public execution. It was a way for the community to get involved in the judicial process and put an end to someone’s life who was found guilty of a crime worthy of death.
So this is where we pick up the story in John 8:1-12 when the religious establishment of the day brought a woman caught in the very act of adultery to Jesus. Obviously they were trying to trick him into saying something that would give them grounds to accuse Him. After all, in their scorn, they called Jesus... ‘The friend of tax collectors and sinners’ (Matthew 11:19). So in their twisted thinking, they probably thought that this might be another opportunity for them to make Jesus guilty by association.
I loved how Jesus responded to their ruse. Instead of playing their accusation game, He just stood in between the accusers and the condemned, just like He always did. Whether it was the tax swindling Zacchaeus or the Samaritan woman with more husbands than you could count on one hand, Jesus always stood with the broken, the wounded, the dishonest and the marginalized. He never seemed to care that his association with these ‘sinners’ actually affected his good standing in the synagogue. I guess that is why the Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 2:7 that Jesus 'made himself of no reputation'.
(pt.2.)
ReplyDeleteIf our reputation is still important to us, then we might be more careful who we consider our friends. If we struggle with an orphan mindset, then our reputation probably is pretty important to us because that is all we’ve got. But if we share the same heart as our Big Brother, then the idea of being found guilty by association really isn’t that big a deal anyway. In a nutshell, if Jesus had a mission statement, it might have been right out of Luke 19:10 when He said… For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (KJV).
I am so thankful that Jesus stood with the woman caught in adultery and protected her from those who would have gladly pummeled her into oblivion. In that moment, He was manifesting His own Father’s protective heart for a beloved daughter who was about to be brutally murdered by the very ones who claimed to be Yahweh’s representatives here on earth.
When he stood alongside this dear daughter, He was standing alongside you and me too ...and I am so glad that He did! The thought that God loved us when we were powerless, when we were in darkness and when we were full-fledged sinners (Romans 5:6-10) is really what the good news is all about!
If you read the whole story, Jesus spent some time writing in the dirt during the Pharisee’s conversation about whether 'to stone or not to stone'. The Bible doesn’t say what Jesus was writing, but I have always thought that maybe He was writing the sins of the self-righteous folks present starting from the oldest, down to the youngest. Sure, maybe their sin wasn’t adultery, but maybe it was pride? Maybe it was arrogance? Or maybe greed? Gluttony? Lust? Or the greatest offence of them all... the sin against love?
Whatever it was that Jesus wrote, it seemed to prick the hearts of those present and one by one, they dropped their rocks and left Jesus standing all alone with this woman, and we read the end of this story in John 8:10-11... “Jesus, standing up, saw her and said, “Woman, where are your accusers? Did no one condemn you?” She said, “No one, Lord.” Jesus said, “Neither do I condemn you. Go your way. From now on, sin no more.”
The good news for that woman and the good news for us is that there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus! (Romans 8:1) After dealing with our own accusers, Jesus says the same words to us that He said to the woman in this story… Where are your accusers? Neither do I condemn you!
My prayer is that those words would ring as true in our hearts today as the day we got saved! Though we now have a new identity as God's beloved saints, may we always remember that our need for a Savior has not changed. We needed a Savior when we first got saved, and we still need a Savior today.
(pt.3.)
ReplyDeleteIt is only when we forget our own need for God that we will lose touch with other's people's neediness and before long we will start hunting around for rocks to hurl at others. That was the problem that Jesus dealt with in this week’s story. The spiritual leaders of Israel didn’t think they needed a Savior. And that lack of need caused them to be uncaring and unaffected by those who they deemed as the dregs of humanity.
Often the fruit of self righteousness is an inability to empathize with the struggles of others. It happened 2,000 years ago and it is still happening today. May our loving Father bring correction to all our hearts in the areas where we have wanted to pick up stones for the wrong reason.
Does that mean we aren't supposed to bring correction to those we love? Of course not! Any loving parent would warn their child that the stove is hot and tell them that if they touch it, they will get burned! But correction is way different than hurling stones of judgement. Correction always comes in relationship and is offered in a spirit of humility.
A beautiful example of how we are to approach each other is found in Galatians 6:1-2 where Paul writes... “Brothers and sisters, if someone is caught in a sin, you who live by the Spirit should restore that person gently. But watch yourselves, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.”
If we spend our time carrying each other's burdens, we will not have the inclination to throw stones. I don't know about you, but I've got a trunk load of issues that still need to be dealt with so I don't have time to sort out anybody else anyway!
But the really good news is that our Heavenly Papa is patient and kind with all of us in the midst of all our struggles. He is really close to the weak, the needy and the broken. If we can believe that we fall into that category ourselves, we will be a little less demanding on those around us.
I believe what the Lord is looking for is a people who love mercy, act justly and walk humbly before Him (Micah 6:8). When we truly become merciful as He is merciful (Luke 6:36), we will really have something of value to offer those around us. This is when the gospel will be gloriously displayed in our lives.
So my prayer today is that we would learn as the family of God, to lay down our stones of judgement against one another and only pick up the stones designed to slay the giants in our own lives.
Luke 18:9-14
“He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others. “Two men went up into the temple to pray; one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this: ‘God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortionists, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector. I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’ But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

At the moment, there's indeed much going on on the political scene (and I'm not only speaking of Syria, Macron or Bolsonaro nor of the Pittsburgh incident, another hoax/staged/fishy shooting IMO and also not of midterm election in the US). I just wanted to throw in that with the state legislature election at my place in Germany last Sunday the doom of Merkel era has very probably begun. I have always assumed that she will only be in place to lead the Germans into destruction but not to be replaced BEFORE the rapture. Guess we must be very near then. (The state of Hesse is btw named after the ancient tribe of the Hittites as far as I learned.) MARANATHA!

DeleteFrom DailyCrow.com:
ReplyDeletePence sets off firestorm with campaign prayer by ‘Christian rabbi’. “We often have ecumenical prayers at the beginning of events that aren’t an endorsement of any particular faith,” an aide to the vice president said. Jacobs, the founder and senior rabbi of Congregation Shema Yisrael in nearby Bloomfield Hills, opened by invoking “God of Abraham, God of Isaac, God of Jacob, God and father of my lord and savior Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah, and my God and father, too.” How offensive! What an outrage! In a first-person essay for Jewish Testimonies, a Messianic Jewish website, Jacobs wrote that “in coming to know the Messiah, I discovered a dimension of Jewish spirituality that I never dreamed possible!”. You want to see a firestorm? Soon those who engage in buffoonish outrage over the mention of the Name above all names will understand what “firestorm” means (2 Peter 3). For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God. (1 Corinthians 1:18) Every. Knee. Will. Bow. For it is written, As I live, saith the Lord, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God. (Romans 14:11)
Yes, and it helps to remember this.
DeleteIt also helps to remember that NONE of these persons involved can be my brother in Christ EVER.
DeleteWho cannot be your brother Annabel? Not sure I am following you since from what I can tell, the person who prayed seems to be saying his faith is in Jesus Christ the Messiah.

ReplyDeleteA SON LIVES COMPLETELY FREE
“Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” (2 Corinthians 3:17)
The Kingdom of God is all about living a free life. When Jesus announced His public ministry (Luke 4:18), He read from the Isaiah 61 passage of Scripture which starts off by saying... “The Spirit of the Lord Yahweh is on me; because Yahweh has anointed me to preach good news to the humble. He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and release to those who are bound…”
Simply put, Jesus came to set us free. In John 8:36, He says ... “If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.” So there should be no question that our God and Father loves freedom. Freedom to choose, freedom of expression, freedom to be who He created us to be.
If we go back the origins of humanity, we will discover that it was our Father's love of freedom that cost Him everything He had. In order for Adam and Eve to be truly free, they had to have the power to accept or reject the love that God offered them. ...For there is no other way for love to operate. Love does not control, manipulate or oppress. To live in love means that we have the freedom to stay and the freedom to leave.
Adam and Eve chose to go their own way which had devastating consequences. Not only for them but for the Godhead as well. I believe their choice to eat from the Tree of Knowledge of Good & Evil absolutely broke the Father's heart. The high price of their disobedience started a chain reaction in heaven that would ultimately cost the Godhead everything (Romans 8:31-32) in order to redeem what was lost in the Garden. That is how important freedom is to God.
So anything that wars against freedom in our lives is something we that we should take notice of. It should not be a surprise to us that the spirit of religion moves in opposition to freedom. It sets rules and regulations, customs and traditions, applies pressure and guilt, all in order to keep people bound up... all in the name of Jesus!
Now just because we are free does not mean we should abuse the trusted freedom that has been given to us as a gift. Galatians 5:13 tells us... “For you, brothers, were called for freedom. Only don’t use your freedom for gain to the flesh, but through love be servants to one another.”
If we truly live in love, there is no way that we will abuse our freedom. There will be many times in our life when we will lay down our rights in order to serve others. As a matter of fact, I believe the more that we are convinced that we are loved, the freer we will be to be the Lord's bond servant. But it will be for love's sake that we choose to lay down our life, not in response to control, guilt or manipulation.
My prayer today is that each one of us would come into a deeper revelation of freedom than we have ever had before. My hope is that we would all be free from all of the 'shoulds' that would keep us in bondage in our life. May we see that Jesus died on a cross so that we could live a free life. Free from sin, free from shame, free from condemnation... Free to be who He created us to be!
(pt.2.)
ReplyDeleteMay the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation (Ephesians 1:17-18) show us today the true heart of our Heavenly Father so that we would know His love in its truest form. He doesn't control us, He doesn't manipulate us or abuse us. His love for us is so pure and so self-sacrificing (1 Corinthians 13:4-8), that we are free to come and we are free to go. Just as the loving father in the Prodigal Son story allowed his younger son to leave his house and take his inheritance with him, our Father entrusts us with the same choices.
It is true that at times in our lives we may abuse this sacred trust of freedom. Because we are free to come and go, sometimes we may choose to live outside of our Father's house. Sometimes we may choose to disobey the loving voice of the Spirit and wallow in the pigpen of our own making. But even then, even in our darkest times, our Father keeps on loving us... Waiting and watching for our return.
The truth is that we are no less loved in the pigpen then we are in the finest sanctuary. Religion might try and convince us otherwise, but the glorious truth of the gospel is that we were loved when we were powerless, we were loved when we were sinners and we were loved when we were enemies of God (Romans 5:6-10). It is simply not possible to overstate the love that our Father has for us.
That is not to say that there aren't consequences to our actions because in any loving relationship there are always ripple effects to the way we treat each other. When we open our hearts up to love, we can hurt others and we can get hurt ourselves. There is great risk and there is great reward. Both come by choice. The reality is though, that if we aren't free to choose, then we aren't free to love.
That is why our freedom is so important to God. He wants us to love Him because we choose to love Him, not because we have to. I believe that when we present our bodies voluntarily as living sacrifices to God (Romans 12:1), it is an act of worship that truly touches His heart. For it is the free-will offering of our hearts that is the greatest gift we can give Him.
So I pray that each one of us would take the freedom that our Big Brother secured for us seriously and not be yoked to anything that would enslave us. As Paul wrote in Galatians 5:1... “It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.”
So if you are finding yourself entangled again with the subtle yokes that slavery wants you to wear, may you have the courage to throw off everything that hinders you from being free so that you can run your unique race (Hebrews 12:1). And as you run unfettered and unaffected by the yoke of religion, may you be aware that all creation is waiting to experience the glorious liberty that Christ has secured on your behalf (Romans 8:19-21).
And as we all continue to learn what it means to live in the love that God has for us (1 John 4:16), may we find many creative ways to express our love to our Heavenly Dad in our sonship, servanthood and sacrifice. Not because we have to, but simply because we choose to. After all, whom the Son sets free is free indeed!
Romans 8:1-2
“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.”

Strong's 501 in Greek has 4 occurrences—all from the gospel of John. The Greek word means "to draw up (water)," and two instances are found in chapter 2 (the water jugs turned into wine), and the other two instances are found in nearby chapter 4 (the woman at the well who draws up water)!

It has to do with 911--I am NOT a numbers person like MANYFISH, but have been shown 911 for a long time now (as I am sure many others have). Whether you are aware of it or not, your thread above includes videos related to this. I was inspired to quickly type out my inspired thoughts on all this. I WOULD VERY MUCH APPRECIATE HEARING YOUR THOUGHTS on it:

Mega-Maranatha dear ones!
@Jeff, the Pakistani sister Asia Bibi has been finally set FREE today, HALLELUJAH! Her case has been on the opendoors.org prayer list since 2010!! God is so good, thank you! https://www.opendoors.org.hk/en/2018/10/24375/
DeleteWow, Annabel. Thank you for sharing. I did not realize she had been imprisoned for that long. Hallelujah! What a valuable and instructive example of perseverance in prayer and waiting for the salvation of the LORD. We'll be breaking out of this prison soon, too.
DeleteDear @family, we have been pondering the name of the LORD GOD Jesus Christ here in this thread and an interesting question about the future AC on unsealed.org has led me to Revelation 17:7-13 and the 'beast' from the pit which (for THAT exact reason!) will NOT be human for sure. So when reasoning about the 200 angels that were bound into that pit (probably Antarctica) as described in the book of Enoch I came to research the meaning of the name of their chief angel SHEMJAZA = "my / his NAME has seen / I see the NAME"
ReplyDeletehttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samyaza
This is very interesting because this name alone indicates this angels' high rank in the past and his former duties / function at Gods throne. What or whom else could he have seen than God Himself whom no human being ever could see without dying? (Judges 13:22 / John 1:18)
As the NAME of a person contains everything about his character and attributes Satan has had insight into the very qualities of God from the moment he was himself created. No one has come God more near yet in the spiritual realm (Job 38:7). You might understand how important it is to know about Shemjaza too and what he did for to realize how he will be the exact copycat of Christ during the next 7 years. NAMES are very important to God (that's why Satan despises them so much and likes to degrade men to becoming numbers) and soon, very soon we will get a NEW NAME, HALLELUJAH! Revelation 3:12
Just FYI and not to be confused about the different angel called 'Satan' throughout the canonical bible being not yet imprisoned but roaming earth and having access to Heaven like in Job 1 there is another one MASTEMA which is chief over the 10th part of demons that were let loose on earth according to the book of Jubilees. Mastema is the accuser of saints and "tester" of humans, with Gods permission.
Delete'Satan' or 'Devil' is rather a kind of title but a proper name. That is the reason why some of the reports may seem contradictory but they are not. It is only because of different angels acting and the great confusion and misinformation about proper angelology including all available information from different scriptures. This misinformation again is the work of the antichrist "Spirit of lawlessness" and Puritan fear inside the church and has begun by 'demonizing' or tabooing every kind of proper research and knowledge about the host of Gods angels by equaling it with forbidden angel worship. We should acknowledge that God has said (in the canonical bible!) that we are to JUDGE and RULE OVER angels so perhaps it is time to get to know them better (by name)? 1 Corinthians 6:2-3
Annabel, good word, sister. We bump into these Entanglements, and I've attempted creating models here to outline some of them, in addressing MOTB, Door in Firmament, the Ascension and other topics. Would it be shocking to find this to be (ALSO) a balancing act predicated upon discernment and an ear for the Spirit? While we appreciate Peter's Zeal we also appreciate its 'oft poor timing, or sense of sequence, perhaps.
DeleteSo, in the exact same manner that we should no more offhandedly disavow this line of query than those who threw darts at us for even talking about Rev12 being Reality and unpacking things so tightly should have, either. That said, ALL of this will be Revealed By Him ALONE, even the 'source material' we would refer to, Foundationally. Should He Choose to Unveil such for us, I suspect it to be more individual, than corporate, in terms of anything 'studied'. Funny, seems we've traded shoes here, sister. I would say that such 'research' delves into Sacred areas not meant for such and that NO AMOUNT OF CAUTION means ANYTHING. Thus, the deeper I look down that trail, apart from a strong Leading, I'm not so eager to dig. Your calling is, as stated, a personal path and one I respect, Maranatha!
WE ARE THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD
ReplyDelete2 Corinthians 5:21
“For him who knew no sin he made to be sin on our behalf; so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.”
Our Lord and our Savior, Jesus Christ exchanged His life for our life. The spotless Lamb of God took upon Himself our sin so that we could become the righteousness of God. This is the gospel message. He who knew no sin became sin for us so that we could be declared righteous before our Heavenly Father.
There is nothing in the earthly realms that could ever fathom the immeasurable cost that God paid for our redemption. Apart from revelation that comes from heaven, the work of the cross is a mystery. How could God Himself exchange His life for those who were His considered His enemies? (Romans 5:10)
If we try to comprehend what is in-comprehensible in our human effort, we will simply come up with a religious response. The truth is that God has given us a gift that we do not deserve. There is nothing that we could ever do to earn what Jesus did on our behalf. And there is nothing that we could ever do in our human effort to sustain what He has freely given to us.
My prayer today is that the love that God demonstrated to us when Jesus died on the cross, would dismantle every form of religious, legalistic striving in us that still wants to try and add something to the finished work of Christ. May we all simply yield to the unmerited favor shown to us by God Himself and receive His free gift expressed in the divine exchange of Jesus' life for our life.
The only appropriate response is to say... Hallelujah! What a Savior!
Ephesians 2:4-9
“But God, being rich in mercy, for his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus; for by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast.”

Wow, All. So many things to look at today and my eyes are pure blurry, LOL. We're about to get hit with some real nasty weather here for the rest of the evening so my internet will probably go down. Tornado watches and warnings are starting to crop up, ugh.
ReplyDeleteJimboni, there's a lot to try and condense down on that dig, but still working on a reasonable format.
.
Miguel, Ty for that Hammer story:-) I thought the part about the Nail appearing in the missing hammer's place was pretty neat, especially when the guy explained his motivation:-D
Lyn, just read your amazing article. TY so much. I love the way our Lord uses each of us to encourage one another along the way. And just FYI, in this dig I'm about on the Lion Emerald, which in the native Bemba Language is called Inkalamu--the Jewish gem value for Inkalamu is 311:-)
Jeff, how wonderful this Christian woman was aquitted and Amen on the well running deep!
Annabel, very interesting. I remember reading about this one in Enoch, but his personna gave me such creeps then that I just didn't pursue it any further. It's just good to know that no matter how the enemy tries to degrade that which belongs to God, he is always trumped. And Amen to those new names we'll be given. I can't even imagine the value we'll see placed on each and every one of them
as they will be tailor-made for us by The LORD, Himself. Wonderful to think on:-)
Ya'll have a Blessed night as the weather is shutting me down for the day. Maranatha!!!
Sheila B., I pray Our Lord upholds you an extra bit tonight, amen. I also did some Gematrinator work on Inkalamu and found the 3:11 but was holding off so as not to meddle in your soup. VERY relevant esp in relation to Todd's latest, and that being a foundational verse to his Calling, amen?
DeleteLyn, Read your article and it was very sweeping and packed with good stuff. The Spirit Has Been Unpacking some very esoteric details concerning the '9' and the '11' for me, being 1 short of '10' and '12,' respectively, and the difference between them, 2, being the number of Witness. In short, the symbolism at the heart of the 911 is appearing to be a direct mockery/mimicry of The Authority of The Nail and the declaring of the Enemy of the 'authority' of his 'nail'.
Miguel P, Taking in that article was surreal. Such a collection of meaninglessness being invested in by those folks clearly has many, many layers but I was lost at even where to begin and not be being simply silly, esp as nothing leaped out at me apart from 21' length (I AM) and 5 foot span (Grace) of the Hammer. Just reading now and The Spirit nudged me about the Nail that was there, my points, above, which I am developing, concerning 911 and TAotN, and that article. Think about it, ABBA operates, Justly, in the Authority of the Hammer (read Old testament, smile) and then the Son comes along and REPLACES is with TAotN! Now then, where is the HAMMER? Well, in light of that word's role on this page lately and apparently impending moments ahead and I propose tat, now, the Nail was removed (as it will be, so to speak) and the HAMMER RETUNS, Maranatha!
My thoughts exactly Jimboni on Miguels article! Interesting that the hammer was 800 pounds. 800 in Hebrew strongs references Jeremiah 6:29 as 'the fire'. The verse talks again about God (the refiner) attempting to refine Jerusalem, however it is all in vain as wickedness is not separated from the good. Who is in the lead of the Jerusalem Mayoral race again - Moshe (Moses) Lion. The Law (the hammer) and the Grace (Nail of the Messiah the Lion of the Tribe of Judah). Some refining in store for Israel through Jacobs Trouble perhaps...
DeleteThe bellows blow fiercely,
The lead is consumed by the fire;
In vain the refining goes on,
But the wicked are not separated
T&T, and what leapt, Lion-like t mind, was a Parallel as we Watch His Consuming Fire Winnow and Sift us, amen, and the lead has been consumed, no? Consider the fallout from the split in the Evangelical community over the Rev12 sign. PERFECTLY Defining, IMHO. Yes, the lead has been consumed, and Revealed for ALL with eyes to see, yet, in vain the refining goes on, 1 Cor 2:14.
DeleteLastly, always pay close attention to the 'if's', 'and's', and 'but's' of Scripture, surely.
BUT, the wicked are NOT separated, when, perhaps, sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and THEY shall not escape. Maranatha!
OK Miguel P, some more back atcha. These evening I obliterated 2 tanks with a single shot being awarded my 11th "Bombardier" Badge, for such a shot zapping 2+ opponents, woot, woot. (2) the # of Witness and (11) the # of Chaos, and this on the 31st (raises eyebrow). But I'm not sayin' nothing, nope.
DeleteYay, that storm blew through quicker than expected. It was packing some phenomenal cloud to ground lightning and some stiff winds, but just some light tree debris to clean up tomorrow is all.
DeleteJimboni, you put that emerald kettle of soup on the fire so anything you want to stir into it is more than welcome. I just went out to look for more ingredients, Brother, and there's more than enough to go around for sure. And that HAMMER is surely persistent. After reading that guy's motivation for planting the giant nail in it's place with the word "BAIT" etched on it, I just thought those poor people have no earthly idea what they are asking for. (But we're the crazy ones...hmmm) Anyway, my house should be quiet tomorrow and I can get the Lion info I saw posted and we can compare notes:-)
T&T, thanks for your input re the mayoral race in Jerusalem. It's seems as if the LION is making an announcement to those with ears to hear it. The Lion Emerald was found in Zambia. Egem for Zambia is 312--Gk#312--anagello--to bring word, declare, announce, report. Used 14x--the number for Deliverance and Salvation.
Blessings, Brothers, and Maranatha!
Sheila B and Jimboni--Wow! Such amazing things you both are uncovering as we continue to seek what He offers to reveal to us! Some nights I lay awake contemplating the whir of revelation and just praise Him. I am like a kid on Christmas Eve wondering if He will come! Then come the cleansing tears of thankfulness which are a blessing to my dry, computer-blurred eyes. May we all rest in our Lord's care. . . and may He strengthen us (especially our eyes) to endure to the end. Much love<3
ReplyDeleteAmen on the computer eyes, Lyn. I do all of my research on my iphone so that's probably even worse. I know they are spent right now so I'm going to try and give them a break tonight. Many Blessings to you, Sister, and thanks again for your wonderful words today:-)
DeleteOk, Jimboni, time to unload this pack mule after toting this big Emerald around for several days now. This is just the relevance I see in this story--NO "thus sayeth the Lord" as to His intent:-)

Revelation 4:6 (as in 451 above being 4:5+1)

In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back
Uh huh....and my eyes just got a bit overwhelmed with it all:-) BTW, I noticed you mentioned The Late Great Planet Earth @unsealed. First book I read post-Salvation and there was no looking back and no being satisfied with anything less than getting Home to my Savior. 22 years ago and WOW...what a journey. Looking forward to giving that man a big hug on the Other Side. I'm sure praying he gets to go out in the Rapture as he is now getting up there in years and getting more frail looking. But either way, I know he's okay with it.

Amen, Sheila. Hal Lindsey has taken a beating over the years. He is a sharp guy and has wrongly been the poster-child for hype and hysteria about the end-times. Dallas Seminary has blacklisted him, even though the heritage of the seminary is pre-Trib, pre-Mil eschatology, most notably from the writings of John Walvoord and Dwight Pentecost.
DeleteHey, Jeff. I know and that hysteria hype was all hype itself. The most important thing I took away from the Late Great was the fact that The Lord God Almighty is in control over EVERYTHING. Being new to the Scriptures at the time, it was a tremendous help to see that laid out so plainly and right off the bat. When people talk about being deceived by every wind that blows and warning against falling prey to the lies and trickery of TPTB, I don't have to worry about that. I fully believe that anyone who has put their total faith in Christ Jesus and His saving grace AND understands that IT IS HE who is in complete control over everything needn't fear such blindness and gullibility. He who is the AUTHOR and FINISHER of our Faith is most capable of showing us whatever it is He wants us to see and safely leading us wherever it is He wants us to go. (even if it's only out into the middle of a baseball field;-)
DeleteBlessings, Brother!
@Sheila I myself have no problem e.g. with admitting I have learned a lot from John MacArthur's well written commentaries over the years from his books and his deep understanding of Greek language. No problem for me as well to see how bad his spiritual decline was in his late years, ending up by joining / supporting ecumenical false teachers and more (2 John 9-11). The more I grew myself in faith the more he declined. So the only logic must be, he's a scholar and scribe but nothing more. Somehow I feel pity for him. It is the end of someones life that shows where he stands and how his relationship with Jesus is. Ecclesiastes 7:8 God is in control of all of this and He knows who is His.
DeleteHey guys
ReplyDeleteJust thought it was interesting that George Ezra's new song released on YouTube on the 26th of Oct 2018, the video depicts a massive surge of water overtaking a man in a room.
https://youtu.be/6Xlo2abddXU
It all seems to relate to the "mass water" theme that many media sources are publishing at the moment.

DeleteWe've Crossed a Barrier of some type. I don't know when and I don't know exactly what, but we crossed it. The link below is to my dreams regarding this. If you do not put stock in dreams, don't bother.

Click or tap for Sherry's description of her recent dreams
DeleteThanks for sharing Sherry!! Many blessings to you dear sister!! I hope this spurt of yours continues right up to the harpazo! : )
DeleteThanks for the clickable link, Miguel.
DeleteYou're welcome Cathi. :-)
DeleteJust read about your dreams, Sherry.
Delete"The Third Dream - Seen in a Vision within the dream - 2 Missiles inbound and exploding (Literal Missiles exploding), Black smoke (but not smoke) arising from the ground in a spewing stream and flattening out as it covered the earth (demons from the pit released), Beings propelled through space onto the earth (Fallen Beings cast down)"
I recently had a dream about missiles also. But what I found especially confirming in your Third Dream was the release of demons when the missiles explode. Most likely these will be nuclear missiles of some type. Last year I came across a video that explained how demonic "alien" spacecraft appeared whenever there was a nuclear bomb set off. It is as though the nukes wound or scar the environment which is an open sore, so to speak, inviting demonic activity!
Supposedly there are reports that whenever our government has tested nuclear missiles, the people involved have reported these being visibly intercepted in space. The report indicated "aliens" did the intercepting. But it makes sense to me these were some time of angelic being intercepting, if the reports are true. The source of what I saw was a recent netflix documentary. Perhaps God has used these angelic beings to protect the atmosphere? Anyway, just a thought.
DeleteSherry,
DeleteJust a thought. While reading the posts about your dreams a different interpretation came to me. Is it possible that your dreams were about the United States? I am concerned about the likelihood of consequences for the proposed deal of the century. Could you be seeing the beginning of the end for the US even prior to the rapture/tribulation?
Thoughts?
Aimee
Aimee, it's possible. The first dream with the Eagles and numbers flying "felt" US, there was nothing definitive about the park or stones to give me an indicator in the second. The third was absolutely US. I was viewing the inbound missiles from my home North of Dallas and they flew over my head from the E SE headed W NW before they impacted "behind me" at some distance. The stream coming from the ground (fountain like) then flattening out I perceived to be demonic beings seemed to come from a location about 20 miles S and E of me. Was it symbolic or location specific? I do not know. The inbound missiles were silver tubes, rounded on the front, oblong in shape with "fins" ( 4 or 5) on the rear sides. There were no time-frame indications in any of the dreams. Blessings - Sherry
DeleteI did not intend to post this, but I'm being prompted by Holy Spirit to do so. I believe it is another confirmation of the barrier we've passed. We now have 3 unusual signs at the Temple Mount - First the stone falling from the wall, Secondly, the Mist that covered the mount and did not extend any place else. The third is now a snake on the Western Wall - I have scriptural authority to detest snakes, but it was interesting to hear the Talmudic interpretations of the Pigeon (which got away) and now the snake (nonvenomous) has been removed from the wall. https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/116242/snake-temple/?utm_source=Israel365&utm_campaign=327c9c1908-BIN_morning_11_18&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_bb2894f273-327c9c1908-46294825&mc_cid=327c9c1908&mc_eid=be4f62c6dc Blessings - Sherry
ReplyDeleteWow Sherry, I didn't look at the news yet but the "snake at the wall" topic is taken right from Amos 5:18-19. If this is not a Talmudic invented newsfeed again I might say this could be prophetic. But yet I doubt it because these NWO Rabbis are so wild about ushering in their Messiah NOW (and thus the day of the LORD) they would invent any kind of nice story from scriptures that only has a glimpse of sounding like prophecy...
DeleteIt takes just 2 minutes to find out that "Rabbi Naphtali 'Tuly' Weisz" is running breaking Israel news claiming "Our bias is not liberal or conservative – just Biblical." in their ABOUT section. So I truly cannot find anything biblical like the Amos quote here in this article but everything about Kaballah from man-made Talmud. Rabbi Weisz also spoke and prayed at the UN assembly in 2017 "bringing biblical truth to the world" which is more than laughable indeed to me...
Deletehttps://www.breakingisraelnews.com/85733/rabbi-tuly-weisz-brings-biblical-truth-halls-united-nations/
and Prince POTUS entangled, recently, with shaking a serpent staff at the media hmmm, ...
DeleteAnnabel, you do realize I pray prophecy is fulfilled and even, to some degree understood, by those who are not Born Again. Rabbi Weisz is American Born, moved to Israel with his family and is responsible for The Israel Bible in English and Hebrew. I am very careful how I treat and even speak about those who may still be apostate, yet are God's Elect nation. Some of them, perhaps Rabbi Weisz, may become one of the 144,000. We should pray for them to lose the scales from their eyes and for Abba to give them ears to hear so they might not have to face that destiny, but never disparage them. As with Christians who have wrong doctrinal interpretations, we should pray for them to see Truth. He used a donkey, I suspect he can use an American Born apostate rabbi either now or in the Trib. Blessings - Sherry
DeleteSherry, TY you sharing those powerful dreams. I know I had a lot of dreams from the Lord for 5-6 years after He first called me to Him, but then it was kind of dry in that arena for a long time up until recently and it's been a lot since right before the Rev12 Sign. Even more so the past few months. I do feel like you that we have crossed over a mark and I believe it was so very subtle in nature that it was more to be intuited in the Spirit than meant to be seen with the eyes. It's just sort of a knowing, I guess.
DeleteRe the snake on in the Western Wall, the three things that popped out at me were that it was in the WOMEN'S Section, that it was captured by a SKILLED SNAKE CATCHER, and that it was a venom-less COIN-MARKED SNAKE. The vicious serpent is coming after both the Bride (Church) and the Woman (Israel). But our Redeemer will cut him off on both sides of the COIN to ultimately render him harmless forever. I looked up the gem values of Coin-Marked Snake. Talk about opposite sides of the Coin:
Jgem value--387--Str. H#378--Ishbosheth--man of shame, man of Baal
Egem value--858--G#858--aphelotes--singleness, sincerity, simplicity--used 1x Acts 2:46

Blessings, Sister and Looking Up Joyfully! Even So, Lord Come!!!
so love that reply Sheila,...bullseye!
DeleteDear Sherry, it will indeed never dawn to me why 2 Thessalonians 2:10-12 is so hard to understand for many. It's so easy in fact. Whosoever (Rabbi or not) did NOT love the TRUTH i.e. being born again during church age by the true gospel of Christ will be deceived BY GOD personally after the tribulation begins. The awakened 144k will for sure NOT be from those who mock and scoff at Christ right into his face at the United Nations and elsewhere during the CURRENT church age. Blessings to you!
DeleteYes the eagle, thanks for sharing Sherry, be well in our Lord Jesus Christ,....Shalom sis
ReplyDeletedream ON !
DeleteLOL, Ozark, I'm not a big Aerosmith fan, and as far as I know they might still be unredeemed heathens (just like I used to be), but I just looked at those lyrics and they work, Brother:-D
DeleteSo ready to go Home! "Dream until our Dream comes true" :-) (and it won't hurt to say a prayer for them to be given the same gift we've all been given.) Blessings!
in that song he makes mention of, the 'good Lord' take you away?!?, who knows, them boys r just worldly earthlings [or were].? /// i was telling Sherry to carry on mon w/ her awesome gift* i am w/ you Sheila on the ''ready to go home'' thing so i maintain the vision/dream of our redemption, moment by moment w/ newness of life thanks to His Holy Spirit of TRUTH within , amen* Also i really like Paul Dawsons New Video @ 10/31st ...its powerful and its only 27 mins long. Shine on people. Also bro. James Key is telling it as his new, 10/31 vid has just come forth on the donald, in a Big Way!
Deletep.s. Sheila, Love You in Christ sister, so much!
DeletePaul's video re cyrus or belshazzaar is indeed excellent
DeleteHello and Blessings, Ally!
DeleteOzark, watching Paul's 10/31 tonight. Thanks for heads up. Holy hug back at you:-)
awesome, cant wait to see what you think Sheila! and Hi Ally, so glad you looked and replied, bless you!
DeleteOzark, imo that was one of his best yet, especially regarding where we as Christians should be having our focus. This world system is not ours, Thank God! It's not about saving it, it's about warning as many as will listen to prepare to escape it. And that Writing on The Wall is being being pointed out in numerous ways as Our Lord is issuing the indictments. An indictment always comes before the trial and Our Lord, in His mercy, says He will not do anything without telling His people first and He is telling us MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN, which for us means prepare to EVACUATE! Blessings and TY again, Brother:-)
Deletei love your words of reply Sheila, they mean a lot to me. We stick together in Christ Jesus knowing...that its all a charade, a script being played out before our very eyes as the new beginning draws nigh. He has all things in His hands and we ARE free indeed n truly homeward bound* \o/ /// makes me think of an album title for an old aerosmith recording called, "Get Your Wings"!!! yeah i reckon we should be a praying for them rascals and their families* Thanks Sheila and Holy hugs sis!
DeleteFor the people that don't facebook (you are wise) here is Scotties posting today. Your thoughts?
ReplyDeleteSOME SAY that yesterday marked possibly the last day of the feast of Tabernacles based on the feast days beginning October 10-11 as I showed in a video last September. Some were looking for the rapture all the way through the fall feast days. But need we do that?
The claim is that in scripture, Jesus mentioned a resurrection on "the last day" which has to do with the days of Sukkot which is also known as the feast of Tabernacles.
One commentator recently posted:
"In Scripture, the final day of Sukkot is distinctively referred to as the *last day*:
On the *last day,* that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, 'If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink' (John 7:37).
'And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the *last day*' (John 6:39).
Martha answered, 'I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the *last day*' (John 11:24)."
Now while this commentator has it correct that these verses are about Sukkot, the problem with looking for the rapture in these verses is that those are all quotes of Jesus (or Martha replying to him) in a book from a disciple, not the apostle Paul. So can those verses apply to the body of Christ?
Jesus clearly said that he came NOT but to save the lost sheep of the house of Israel (Matt. 15:24). He did not come to the gentiles and there certainly was no body of Christ during his earthly ministry. His ministry and prophecies were and are to the Hebrews alone.
So what resurrection was he talking about?
There are many resurrections to come. They will be on the feast days. But we need to understand which feast day is for which resurrection.
The last day of Tabernacles is for the resurrection and rebirth of Israel after the return of Jesus.
The feast of Atonement is his return to atone for the sins of Israel and resurrect the tribulation saints.
We need not look to these feasts for the resurrection and rapture of the body of Christ. That mystery was revealed by Paul, not Jesus. Paul said, "the last trump", not the last day (1 Cor. 15:52).
Remember, Paul was and still is the apostle to the gentiles.
"For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office:" (Romans 11:13)
Jesus was the minister of the circumcision (the Hebrews) during his earthly ministry.
"Now I say that Jesus Christ was a minister of the circumcision for the truth of God, to confirm the promises made unto the fathers:" (Romans 15:8)
By "last trump", Paul meant the feast of Trumpets. This was clearly the day in reference to the resurrection and rapture for those in Christ. That was Paul's revelation of the mystery.
The last day of Tabernacles is for Israel when the valley of dry bones prophecy occurs (Ezekiel 37) and the nation of Israel is resurrected and born again.
We have to rightly divide the Body from Israel and who was talking to and about whom.
Paul revealed the rapture. His ministry was to gentiles and to the Body of Christ saved by grace through faith alone.
Jesus prophesied the other resurrections. His ministry was to Israel (Matt. 15:24; Rom. 15:8).
You cannot find the resurrection and rapture of the body of Christ in Jesus' words. It was still an unrevealed mystery during his earthly ministry or Paul would not have had this exclusive mystery to reveal as he said he did.
"Behold, *I shew you a mystery*; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the *last trump*: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed." (1 Cor. 15:51-52).
Keep mystery and prophecy separate and practice right division of the Word of truth (2 Tim. 2:15). Mixing Paul with Jesus and the disciples only causes confusion.
Have a great day! Scottie Clarke
As I have learned about Scott Clarke in the meantime, he follows a doubtful doctrine that is called by the term "Mid-Acts" (saying that the real church only got to exist after Peters revelation with Kornelius) so basically it says that you can forget about everything what Jesus told and that this was not adressed to the church at all. Only Paul would give us proper information (whereas we also might forget about any of the other letters not written by Paul or about the whole rest of the OT scriptures? Now what is left then from our bible to teach us?). This is extremely dangerous hyper-dispensationalism and NOT scriptural. Brother Jared @The Unleashing just made a video about how to read e.g. Matthew 24 which clarifies a lot more https://youtu.be/ngxa1wRaUxg
DeleteExcept one, two really good insights about the "conception-birth" concept of the Church body of Christ at Pentecost and the rapture and the further observation of the 9/23/17-Rev12-sign I haven't taken anything valid from Scott Clarkes recent messages. MARANATHA!
Stephanie Dawn posted a response to the "Division" issue with absolutely spot on sound scriptural reasoning and clarity in Signs and Seasons on Facebook. Her frustration is with the "Division" being caused by what I term "Hyperdivision" as Scottie is using. Her post was long, so no way to get it into comments here and have it flow properly, but if you are on Facebook and in Signs and Seasons it is well worth your time to go and take a look at her comments. Blessings - Sherry
DeletePaul would be appalled to be so misunderstood.
ReplyDeleteROFL!! Wait a minute, I want to know how your REALLY feel!
DeleteAs I was reading that whole thing I kept thinking, Jimboni, of your response to someone just a day or so ago about the character in the movie Jurassic Park, Malcolm I think, "Life will find a way". Perhaps someone should tell our friend, and I do mean that sincerely, Scottie it is best not to put God in a box, he won't stay. Blessings - Sherry
DeleteDear @all, just yesterday I came across a MUST WATCH documentation about the Secret History of the Order of the Illuminati (Truthstream Media / Aaron Dykes 10/30/2018) produced at original locations in Ingolstadt, Germany during vacations from USA. I have to admit even as a German native I never went to Ingolstadt myself which is but some miles away from my place (but I only know it as the home of the HQ car manufacturing "Audi" town). This is one of the best eye-opening productions on the Psalm 2 global conspiracy I have EVER watched (app. 40 minutes), awesomely set and produced. Please please watch this, great channel as well! 👍👍
ReplyDelete...and if you watch it to the end you will also know why the "Christian suicide" has been watering down sound biblical doctrine of course because of WHO? Oh yeah, the secret societies... Now you know.
Deleteyes,...and they will no longer endure sound doctrine. Lord Jesus use us as instruments of your will
DeleteBRAD AND REST OF THE REV12 FAM~Just watched Sandy Armstrong's EMERGENCY MESSAGE posted November 1: https://youtu.be/IWuG8LKZQnM
ReplyDeleteIT IS THE MOST EXCITING SCRIPTURE-PACKED, TIME SENSITIVE NEWS I've heard since the Revelation 12 Sign itself!
Sandy shares about the relationship with THE 8TH DAY and THE THIRD DAY and WEDDINGS and MORE than I can share here. It addresses @nolongerlukewarm's question regarding Scott Clarke's facebook comments also.
Wish I could write more but like all of you--must get on with this day on earth--for now!
TY, Lyn, watching now. Just watched Colleen M's last vid and she is saying she has been shown to "PREPARE TO EXIT." That same sense was just put on my spirit as well in my above reply to Ozark only an hour ago. Days or hours, IDK, but it's at the door. Blessings and Maranatha, Sister:-)
Deletei spoke w/ pastor Sandy over the phone several months back,...what a nice guy! thanks for this pointer Lyn,...i'm off to YT land on this one
DeleteLoved it! As Pastor Sandy said, See you all at the CLOUD PARTY:-D Woo-hoo!!! ( and ever so happy I don't have to figure out what to wear:-)
DeleteSheila B--somehow my reply to your "ever so happy I don't have to figure out what to wear" at the cloud party was posted below. Anyway, that made me laugh. Can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Deletenolongerlukewarm~please see my comment below regarding Sandy Armstrong's EMERGENCY MESSAGE as it addresses the Scriptures and questions related to Scott Clark's facebook comments.
ReplyDeleteThank You Lyn for sharing. I kinda was getting discouraged and stopped watching Pastor Sandy, still listening but it is setting my soul on fire. I just want to do something. Either We rise up on earth or rise up to heaven I am just chomping at the bit to do something. Love ya Sister and family!!!
Deletenolongerlukewarm--I am WITH you! Love back at ya!
DeleteFamily, this post rides along with these comments about, once again, meandering along the edge of a vast cliff and Wondering if the edge is Truly about to give Way. Looking out the kitchen window, this morning, working through coffee and such, getting started, and my mind pondered the tranquility of the view esp in light of that cliff. I felt I was led to see some parallels and entanglements in areas also recently arising here lately, Atomics, both in relation to their entanglement with other beings as well as the mechanics of such ‘science’ built upon dis-integrating the foundational blocks of Creation.
ReplyDeleteAs we ruminate on the tranquility of so many things, right alongside such chaos emerging, and the tepid calm contradicts what our spirits say is pending, I am reminded of a similar morning and another person, greeting the morning and setting about their day preparing things for the day and family at their home in the villages outside Hiroshima. Quiet morning, cool breeze, clear sky, birds chirping; the Winds of War in the air, but the battlefield still far off. Then, without ANYTHING noticed before, the eye fleets to a flash, just over there, and by the time this person realizes they have been blinded, before their flesh can even process the impulses to the brain, they are GONE to the next life. That MOMENT IN TIME, so stark against the MOMENT BEFORE, helped clarify my morning, maybe all of ours, we shall see.
Since then, I’ve found myself wandering along paths concerning how the Enemy uses trickery, ‘technology, and such to bend the creation to his will and counterfeit and defy The Father, as allowed. Nuclear energy and warfare would seem, by definition, to be near the top of that pyramid, being also its foundation. It seems only logical that we would find him here, and his minions, entangled with those people enthralled with the same Powers and Principalities. That Light and Dark would have interests at stake whenever these are ‘in flight’ begs their intervention and presence, surely. So many have been led to ‘as they come down we go up’ in relation to such, as in the dream, as well as. ‘when we go up They come down’ as in the beings entangled and waiting. IF, this is the time, such items being on the table together makes sense, intrinsically, as well as by what we’ve been shown. Maranatha!
Awesome brother, the words of our Lord n Saviour come to mind, "Behold i make ALL THINGS NEW"!
DeleteAwakening thoughts, Jimboni. Strange to read after I just watched a video on the Weather Channel about a happy young couple who backed up to the edge of a cliff in Yosemite to take a scenic selfie and fell 800 feet to their deaths. They ran a popular travel and vacation blog.
DeleteGo figure.
A true and powerful image, Jimboni. The irenic atmosphere during "peace time" can be so alluring and deceptive, and then in the blink of an eye...at the splitting of an atom, our whole world changes (1 Cor. 15:51-52).
DeleteSheila B., apparently you have the eye for TWINS lately but I am the one to point them out. Recall we also saw (800) recently, above: T&T (re the Hammer) My thoughts exactly Jimboni on Miguel's article! Interesting that the hammer was 800 pounds. 800 in Hebrew Strong's references Jeremiah 6:29 as 'the fire'. Fitting that your 2nd spot is tied to the unfortunate destruction of those involved, and the events seem somehow loosely aligned with my commentary on the verse, also above, hmmm, Maranatha!
Deleteso much for the old time saying, ''the more things change-the more they stay the same''! ...ain't nuttin' gonna be the same after, we go up and they come down. Boy them butterflys know allrite that something NEW is being beheld or beholded!!!*
ReplyDeleteOH MY. OZARK!!!!!!!Everytime I see and think of the caravan that song comes to mind. SO SO COOL>
DeleteAs we've gone back and forth over investigating signs and signals which may be of the enemy, something has stayed firmly in my Spirit and it seems unwilling to dislodge itself until I write it out, so here goes. God is Sovereign. Satan and his entire enemy army, both fallen divine, Demonic Nephilim entities and human are on a short leash in the hand of God. Thus, oftentimes, when we "intercept" a signal from the enemy and consider the possibilities related to the plan, it is actually God who has encouraged the enemy to take the action or, at the very least, to telegraph his plans so Believers can be warned. I will site two of the most easily discernible situations in Scripture, although I find it difficult to believe anyone would need the evidence, I will find it enjoyable and perhaps get this burden off my Spirit.
ReplyDeleteWhen Balaam was sought to "curse Israel" on behalf of the Moabites, he wanted desperately to do so, but was unable. He was able to counsel the Moabites how to bring Israel to ruin by fornication and 24,000 fell under the hand of the Lord before Pheneas struck the fornicators by spear and stopped the plague. Balaam was clearly an enemy combatant under the total control of Yahweh. He was successful in entrapping Israel in fornication when they violated God's express law about sexual congress with idolaters. Numbers 22-24 is an extremely valuable insight to see "the leash" the enemy is on.
Secondly, and rarely discussed in Churches of today, is the Antichrist plans when he calls for all the nations to come to Armageddon to destroy Israel during the final stretch of The Day of the Lord. If we but take the time to go back to the Prophets accounts of what Yahweh is doing while these troops are being brought to the Valley of Jezreel we learn of Yahweh's mashal (taunt song) given by the prophet Joel 3:9-11 and affirmed in Psalm 2:1-6. Beat your plow shares into swords and "come on down" and we'll see what Yahweh has in store for you. For while Antichrist raises an army to destroy Israel, taking all the fighting men away from their nations, Yahweh is raising his own "consecrated ones" against Babylon. Yahweh has decreed Babylon, and all her daughters, Charam H2763 - devoted to Yahweh for utter destruction, just as the Nephilim cities were. It is not only Babylon which will be destroyed by the army of the Lord, but all her offspring (Economic Babylon) throughout the world. Jeremiah 50:45-46, the whole earth trembles when she falls. When Antichrist hears of Babylon's destruction he is so intent on getting to the Remnant at Bozrah to slay them all, he falls right into the trap and Yeshua, with the armies of heaven close the trap on him and blood runs to the horses bridles as they attempt to escape with the King of Kings and Lord of Lords slaying them all the way back (200 miles) to Jerusalem where he takes his stand on the Mount of Olives. Habakkuk 3:1-16, Isaiah 13:3, Jeremiah 51:59-64 are just a few of the many, many samples of what Yahweh has planned for these rebels during the Day of the Lord. Sorry Brad - Part 1 of 2
Part 2 of 2 - What is my point? Yes, we can learn from the enemy what their plans are for their plans will align with what Yahweh is doing. Are we to engage in divination or any such nonsense? Certainly not, but we are to be as wise as serpents while being as gentle as doves. We study the enemy, not to become like them, but to thwart their moves on behalf of Yahweh and be prepared for he is requiring them to telegraph their plans. We are back to the same road - center, the narrow path, not off into the ditch on either side of the road - complacency is on one side, while engaging in their tactics and using forbidden divination, etc is off in the other ditch. We stand, We Watch, We Pay Attention and we compare it to God's Word so we are there to be used of God when He is ready for us. We are not sitting on the couch with our hands folded and our minds at rest. We stand, we watch and Yes, we watch what the enemy is signalling, then respond the way God directs. Sometimes, it is to pray, at other times it is to warn, but at all times we are to be wise in the counsel of His Holy Spirit - not asleep and fearful. If our hearts are right and submitted to the Lord Jesus Christ, then I perceive if we lop off an ear wrongly as Peter did, Yeshua will simply put it back on the soldier's head. Blessings - Sherry
DeleteSherry Griffin, thank you for a beautiful and stalwart defense of our position. It is unfortunate, and unsafe, when prophets amongst our YTC sources loosely speak of such things and are not circumspect in how they make declarations around such 'digs'.
DeleteAs you show, the work, itself, is Godly, however, the turf is tricky and a wise sojourner in these woods is very careful to mind the details you point out while working in them and then telling of the finds. Hopefully, Annabel will be placated at the Foundational soundness of your work and of what you speak, even though it is sometimes delivered out of sorts. Alongside your teaching, I find Sheila B.'s, above, re TLGPE book and the Authority of Our Lord to Guide even our mis-steps or fumbles down cul-de-sacs as we travel. I am quite certain that His Delight over our eagerness covers a multitude of sins as we wildly go 'a shovelin', Maranatha!
LOL Sheila--"ever so happy I don't have to figure out what to wear". Cannot wait to meet all you beloved brothers and sisters at that cloud party<3<3<3
