Miracles

We would all love to see miracles occur in our life and we will see and hear about them, lots of them, especially when we step out in faith and obey God. They're bound to happen and not just for someone else. I have experienced miracles and I want to see lots of them. It is God's desire all His children to see and experience them, and there is no reason for them not to. It's a part of Christ's faith. He is the Heavenly Father of gifts, good gifts, and lots of incredible ones too.

This past week, I went down town to an art gallery that I hoped would sell some of my paintings that I had on displayed there. I planned to use the money to help prepare for my road trip next year and have some to give to the poor. However, after a couple months the owner decided she didn't want to have them, because of their traditional style and the confusion over my name change. The art market has changed a lot since I quit painting. What was once popular isn't any more. So I picked them up and was a little discouraged, but thanked her for trying. While I was in town I decided to go a few blocks away and give all the money I started to save for a passport and give to the poor people in the park and to a homeless shelter nearby. Now I needed a miracle.

As I was driving back home I was questioning God how He was going to provide the money so I would be ready to leave. I needed only a couple hundred to get my passport and an international drivers license to start with, but so far I had little extra money and now I had none to do even that, yet I believed nothing was impossible for God. On the way back I felt I was to change directions and stop by and see a friend so I could fix one of my paintings. While I was working on the painting at his house, he pulled out his wallet and said, "I want to sow into your ministry and give you all that I have." He counter out over three hundred dollars, and then said, "Is that going to be enough?" I was speechless and was about to weep. When I was finally able to speak, I said, it's more than enough. I would be able to buy even a few other things necessary for the trip. I told him I would have refused the money, but I knew he wouldn't have done that unless it was God's will. So I thanked him and God. What an awesome miracle and answer to prayer. My friend doesn't usually have that kind of money on him. God's timing is always perfect, if we're patient, trust Him and give Him our all as we follow the leading of the Spirit. Then we will see miracles.

A few days later, Sheldon David asked me to come over, because he needed to talk with me about something. What he shared not only grieved his and my heart, but God's. I made a decision and the next day I told my wife what happened, and that I would be leaving the little church where we have attended for the past three years. After I told her she decided to leave also. However, Sheldon had asked that his name and the incident not be mentioned when I left, and my wife agreed.

That night we went to the little church prayer meeting. After the meeting I told the pastor that I appreciated his dedication to this church and the people here, but I could no longer stay where I didn't agree with organized religion and with many things he said or did. (Including most recently his censoring of another prophet from speaking in his church and ministering to other members in their homes, even though he had attended that church for over five years and prophesied regularly with encouraging words to individuals and to the Body of Christ in general, and he was loved by most everyone. This rebuke had come in the form of a letter.) It was all based on gossip and miss quotations from a couple other members. There were no scriptural bases for pastor's actions or for how he handled it. Neither did he inquiry as to the truth of those accusations. There was also probably a lot of jealousy involved also. Sadly, the pastor doesn't even have a clue as to Gods favor on this man's life. But, the pastor did know how this prophet felt about organized religion, including Christianity, and therein laid the problem. I concluded my talk with the pastor by telling him, "Jesus was not the reason for the season!" Jesus is the reason for everything, and He has nothing to do with man-made holidays.

The previous Sunday leading up to this, I was surprised by pastor's sermon and I commented to my wife about it afterwards, how he seemed to be emphasizing, being aware of false prophets. Now it all made sense. Organized religion will always feel threaten by God's prophets. The pastor thought he was doing God and his flock a favor, not realizing he had just made the biggest mistake in his life.

I also told my wife, the Word of God says, He will bless those who bless you and I will cures those who cures you. And, God also says, "Do not touch my anointed ones; and do my  prophets no harm." (Psalms 105:15) This pastor and church are headed for some serious problems. We decided to tell our friends goodbye that night, but we wouldn't mention David's name, because he didn't want to be the cause of division.

That night when we said our farewells, I told people I just didn't agree with what was going on there, and my wife said pretty much the same thing, although she did tell one member, "We won't stay where one in our family is not welcomed." I liked that, and I think God did too. However, that person caught the connection and said she would "give him a call," because they knew each other also. And so both my wife and I said our goodbyes and left. They were all sad and confused as to see us leave and so abruptly. 

My prayer that night was, "Father forgive them for they did know what they do and open their eyes and ears to understand the truth about organize religion and a religious spirit." But God is God and there are consequences for disobedience and for those who are connected with them. (Remember Abimelech (Gen. 20:1-7) God's prophets should be honored. Many people will still stay in these types of churches. I don't expect things to change there that much. They'll keep praying their prayers for revival, not knowing they are the ones hindering it. The same applies to many other organized churches. The following Sunday I was told that three old people fell in different locations in that church. Thankfully none of them were seriously hurt, but coincident? They had nothing to do with what the pastor did, yet they are a part of that fellowship.

Many people are reluctant to change or move on even if they don't like some things. Jesus talks about the blind leading the blind. Notice, Jesus didn't say, "the blind leading the seeing." Something to think about.

Sometimes the best thing to do is just move on yourself, instead of being held back by waiting for others to change also. Do what your told to do and trust God to do the rest. Sometimes the seeds we plant or toss, fall on hard or rocky soil and other times they fall on good soil. I'm looking for better soil in the future.

Sheldon and I have done all we could to point the way and set an example at this little church, but the religious spirit is hard to get through. It will still probably be another six months, before my wife and I leave Vancouver, because that's when our apartment lease is up and the same for the renter in our house in Central Washington. Then I will move my wife back to it where she wants to live so she can be closer to our family and grandchildren. In the meantime I will finish what God want me do here in Washington State. Then I will be heading south in my van to other states and countries beyond the border of the United States for the next several years. (Mexico, Latin America and South America.) Then I travel by plane or transported some other way to other nations to continue reaching the lost for Christ. This will be an awesome experience and miracle—preaching the good news, healing the sick, restoring lives, raising the dead and setting people free from the bondage of sin, all by the wonderful love and power of the Heavenly Father.

No person is ever too old or too young to love Abba Father and serve the Body of Christ. As my daughter told my wife last month, "It looks like dad intends to go out in a blaze of glory." I like that, and that's fine by me I can't think of anything else I rather do. But the most important thing in my life is falling madly in love with Jesus and waiting in His presence.

Note: Things are changing and I'm getting ready to sow into new territory. How about you? What steps are you taking to be used of God? It's going to be a new year soon and a lot is and going to happen. Miracles are already happening and the angelic forces are preparing the way for supernatural events. Are you getting ready and expecting miracles? I am!

Peace On Earth—through a rebel


The angels declared, "Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased." (Luke 2:14 NLV)

And Jesus said, "Do not think that I have come to bring peace to earth. I have not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law, and a man's enemies will be the members of his household.

Whoever loves father or mother more than me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take up his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life because of me will find it."   Mt.10:32-39
Disciples who have chosen to follow Jesus, have had to adjust their way of thinking and vision. The cross and the message sent from it has become their goal—complete submission to the will of God. They are willing to leave the past and forsake everything, by making Jesus Christ and His Kingdom—the New Jerusalem, their future. Children of God become disciples, and disciples become sons who rule and reign in that Kingdom.

grace, Grace, and more GRACE

Mankind is sinful and must repent. Yet when Jesus ministered to the people He didn't usually point out their sins. When they were sick or physically impaired, He healed them. When they were hungry, He fed them. And when they were bound by demons He freed them. He never accused an individual of failing or address their personal sins they committed that cause so many of them to suffer needlessly. He loved people and had compassion on them all, even the religious leaders who put Him to death. Yet, all sickness and disease are the consequences of sin in some form, either personal or because of other's actions, or defilement and curses. Those sins were forgiven and paid for by the precious blood of Jesus Christ on Calvary. When we choose to believe, we are clothed in His righteousness. We should try to stop doing the things and the habits of this world that had control over us. Yet somehow they still seem to slip in every now and then.

There are many adult Christians today who are suffering the consequences of their sins and don't even realize it. They truly love God and desire to please Him, but because of deception, ignorance, stubbornness and/or lack of faith, they are still hurting and suffering; either physically, financially, emotionally and spiritually or a combination. There are many Christians who have also died before their time for the same reasons. One evening the Lord said, "My people are killed, because of lack of knowledge and they are killed, because of a lack of discipline. They have allow their fleshly desire and unforgiveness to control their lives."

This problem has continue throughout history, despite all of the promise God has made to those who believe. Yet, in this next move of God, He is going beyond the grace He had shown past, just as Jesus did. He will restore multitudes, because He is a God of love and compassion; not just judgment as some people and preachers think. We are not heading toward the great tribulation or "the Rapture," but an age of more grace and mercy. Neither is He a harsh God as many of us have often felt. There are many people who are poor and helpless and He hears their cries and lamentations. And Lord says, He is about to deal with the main people who are responsible for the world's suffering. We are in a season of grace, overturn and restoration.

When I first asked Jesus into my heart, I knew I was a sinner, I just didn't know how bad I was. The scripture says who can know the heart for it is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked. (Jer. 17:9)  There isn't hardly a day that goes by where we don't have a wrong thought or a wrong attitude. And yet He still loves you and me. No one is perfect or close to it, save Jesus Christ. God knows our heart and the restoration that is needed in our lives. And He will do it, because of His awesome love, grace, and mercy and for no other reason.

There is nothing we can do to earn it. That same evening God also said, "Holiness is not what I'm looking for, what I desire is yielding and brokenness in spirit, says the Lord" He does not demand perfection, just do your best. Over a year ago the Lord shared some things about my future that He would do. Yet, He also told me, it wasn't because of how good, smart or obedient I was. It was, because He loved me. Wow! And the same goes for all His sons and daughters. Grace is a gift, and we need to pass it on to others in order to bring healing and restoration to them.

This next move of God will take His grace to new level. God will heal and draw people to Himself that are not even seeking or expecting it or Him. He is also using His sons and daughter to be portals to bring healing, salvation and restoration to individuals, groups, areas, places, cities and even nations. It will also come through many different forms of abilities (gifts from God), art, music, writing, speaking, technology and much more. People will be healed just by looking at an anointed painting or singing an anointed song.

This next decade will be like nothing we have ever seen before. Governments will not be the same, especially in the United States. God's love, grace and forgiveness will be the foundation of the Kingdom of God. Spiritual authority will be found in the humility of God's sons and daughters. When people see and experience the awesome grace of God, then they will truly want to know Him. The one and only God, Jesus Christ, and Lord of heaven and earth. The following words are a prophecy:
"I always said to you David that the Father would visit the earth and here we are. I'm standing at the gate. Between now and the end of the year you will feel and sense the spiritual atmosphere change in this nation as I pass through the gate. As you both are moving forward, so I am moving forward the Kingdom of God. The authority of Jesus Christ is coming to the earth and who can stop it..."
"The ones who have been hurt and cry out to me and get my attention have been those who have been suffering already, hurting already and their pain and their lament and the cries have come to the ear of God...and I don't ignore their cries. I seek to alleviate the pain."
"I'm letting you know that I'm not ignoring the hurting. This nation belongs to God. It is protected by Lord Jesus Christ Himself. Not every nation has a covenant as this one does, and few nations upon the earth has intercessors the way this nation does."
"The greatest move of God is right at the doorstep, it truly is. Brownsville was a picture, but there will be 'hot spots' across this nation and across this planet. There is going to be territories that are so charged with the spirit of Yahweh God, that when people go visit those places; like going to a resort where people visit. They will be healed just by going to those territories. They will be delivered of demons by going to that land and to those territories. Cause the spirit of God is so powerful and thick. He is coming, He is descending on certain part of the land. Certain parts of this world will be 'hot spots.' That when people... it will be like going into a mountain and having this experience with Yahweh, like Moses entering into Mount Sinai, into His cloud. There will be times when men and women are bound together with God, and all will be lifted up at the same time and view heavenly places. This is not a years down the road. These things are already beginning and starting.
And do I mind that people are running to and fro, looking for healing and deliverance? Was it wrong for people to follow me 2000 years ago? To run after me for healing and deliverance? It wasn't wrong! 
I wanted them to grow up. I wanted them to get their mind straight. I wanted their focus to be right. I wanted them set free. I also wanted all men to be saved.
There are still Pools of Bethesda on the earth, says the Lord. When the angel comes and stirs the waters—all manifested in many different ways. And foolish men and their fooling ideas—they try to strip the spirituality out of everything.
The Pool of Bethesda was all about the grace of God. Whether it is Jesus healing the man or whether a man is healed by stepping into the water. It was all about the grace of God. And that is why the song, named Amazing Grace has become the anthem of your generation. And will become even more powerful. When it is sung, people will be restored in the congregation even while singing that song. Even Chris Tomlin version of it will, says the Lord.  I will break chains off peoples lives as they sing that song in the congregation. It will be sung and it will be sung powerfully across the church worldwide. People will be set free because of grace, grace, grace is coming to the earth.
The greatest salvation is in front of this land as people step into this grace. The stirring of the water is at hand. And those who are restored will be a mini-member man. Because the angel of the Lord is going and stirring the water. And the man who has been waiting for 38 years will be restored, says the Lord, as God's grace visits the earth."

Looks Are Deceiving


In today's world one has to be very careful when buying something. Sometimes you aren't quite sure what you are getting unless you read the small print, open the box, or take it for a test drive. As they say, "never judge a book by its cover." Even when we watch a commercial or a movie, it's hard to know what is real and what is not. What they are able to do with computer generated scenes is amazing. If you didn't know better, you would swear aliens disintegrated the US capitol and other countries, tornadoes destroyed Los Angeles or all kinds of giant monsters really exist, including dinosaurs in the twenty-first century. Hollywood makes deception an art form for entertainment and profit. There are also magicians who demonstrate incredible illusions. And then, there are the bad guys who deceive in order to take advantage of or hurt others for their own selfish benefit.

Much of life has become an illusion that many prefer to live in. They often try to put on the appearance of something other than what they really are, trying to give the impression they are better, happier, sexier, more powerful or more successful than others. It has become challenging to determine what is genuine and what is not.

Webster — illusion: 1. the act of deceiving 2. something that objectively existing in such a way as to cause a misinterpretation of its actual nature

People who live without God in their life are living an illusion. Pretending they are in control of their lives and destinies. They believe they don't need God, or if there even is a God. And if there is a God, he may or may not help people, because that is just the way they see him.

Because of the fall of mankind, our hearts were harden towards God and so was our way of thinking. Mans tendency has always been to satisfy his own wants rather than the will of God. Therefore, God allowed us to believe a lie in hopes that we would eventually see our need for a savior. Some have, but many more have not. To think that all is well without God is an illusion and a deception of the enemy that keeps our minds veiled from the truth, like a magician's black cloak. Satan is the master of deceptions and illusions. Everything he says is a lie. (John 8:44)

Sad to say, many Christian think the same way, that just because they go to church and occasionally read their Bible they are OK with God. Others even try to give the impression that they are better than others because of their religious believes or activities. We have all fallen short of the Glory of God (Roman 3:23). That Gift and Glory is Jesus Christ. (John 3:16 and Romans 6:23).

Jesus Christ was the only one who walked on earth who was not deceived by the lies of satan (Is.53:9) The more closely we follow His example, of doing only what He sees the Father doing and saying only what He hears the Father saying, then we also will be less deceived ourselves. And people will want to hear and listen to what we say because we walk in God's love and authority just as Jesus did.

"In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."

 (I Thessalonians 5:18) 


Our Heavenly Father is faithful and He will never stop loving us.

November 7, 2011


Jesus said, "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13)

One night the Lord shared with us His feelings about blood sacrifices and the sufferings of certain individuals and groups of people that changed the course of both Biblical history and American history. I regards to America, He said, "America is held together by a cord of red. A nation of remembrance and God can't forget her."

There were a multitude of Americans in the past who helped establish and protect the United States. They did so at great cost to themselves, their families and others. Many were murdered and their possessions were burned. Through the years tens of thousands have shed their blood on the battlefields in order to free their country and their brothers from slavery. They have also fought on foreign soil to help free other nations from the oppression of evil dictators.

Still others have sacrificed their lives on mission fields, sharing the Gospel and helping the poor and the needy. God said, "A bloodline has been laid around America" and God intends to honor and protect America, because of these sacrifices and for being "a safe harbor" for His people.

God has and will continue to bless America more than she deserves, all because of the promises he made. But at the same time, God stated, " I am a Father, I do not give my rights to another to discipline. It is in my hands, not in terrorist's hands, not in China's hands, not in anyone else's hands, only in mine. I am her Father...I will not allow attacks. The blood line has been drawn around this land and who is going to by-pass that. Only God has that authority to discipline this nation... The Father disciplines those he loves and He has chosen to love America, because she is Rehab the harlot, that saw the Father's favor upon another and sought to harbor the spies. Just as America sought to harbor the Jewish people. And I cannot turn away from that. America is about to lead the world again, but first the discipline." The blessings that are coming to America will be far greater, because of the awesome love of the Heavenly Father.

All blessings from God are released through a Covenant Blessing (Gen.12:1-3), and established by blood sacrifice. Those blessings began with the sacrifices made by the Patriarchs. Abraham was willing to leave his family, his land and even offered his greatest possession, his son Isaac, in obedience to God, and so it has been with all (Abraham's & God's) spiritual sons. Unfortunately, we do not see the same kind of passion in America today.

The Lord said, "Love must be sacrificial...Many nations have had martyrs and they are so ripe for an absolute move of My Spirit.
But, the American Christians have mocked suffering... And that is why there has not been a great move of God in America in a long time." Blessings are not based on American Christian's abilities to improve their self-worth or possessions, but on their obedience and their sacrifices to help others. The Prosperity Gospel is deceptive and the grace of God should not be taken for granted.

The Lord said that in the Kingdom of God, "Love will be the administration, and never, ever disassociate the sacrifice, the pain and the blood from the love; it is the same." He continued to say that, "The Father wants to save a people and He wants to see true martyrs and suffering to be seen in this land. He wants humility to be the foundation in which the flag can stand... I'm looking for a man who loves all the way to the point of death, so I can raise him up to a high position. So the love of God is the real issue in the coming days...God is looking at the heart. He's looking at the blood."

To sacrifice our life for the sake of God and helping his children, including the lost and the poor, is the purest form of love and worship. It has been that way from the beginning of time, from the shed blood of Abel, the prophets and all the saints of old, until the last saint has poured out his or her blood. Their shed blood will be honored, because of the shed blood of Jesus, two thousand years ago on the Cross. God's Son, Jesus Christ, made the ultimate sacrifice for the sins of all humanity. It was there that He gave His life, so we might have life. There was no greater love or sacrifice.

Today, we need to get a fresh vision of Jesus' tortured body
seared into our minds so that we understand exactly what it took for Him to set man free. This is the Gospel's message: love forgives everything and withholds nothing. It would be wise to remember His sacrifice and honor Him above all others.


Note: God also honors and blesses all countries and nations that will bow their knees to Him. America will also bow. It only takes a small percentage of righteous people to begin turning the heart of the Father. He also appreciates every individual who sacrifices for Jesus' sake and the Gospel, at home and abroad. They too will be greatly blessed. God is no respecter of persons or nations who choose to honor Him. The earth is the Lord's, and He is worthy of every nation's praises.

Also, to those who have sacrificed and suffered extreme injuries, both physical and mental because of wars and service to their country, I honor you and tell you that your sacrifices were not in vain or unnoticed, even by God. It is God's desire to see people's lives restored—physically, mentally and spiritually—in the days and years ahead,
if we'll only place our trust in Him. Nothing is impossible with God. This means absolutely nothing is impossible. We are about to see the greatest display of God's grace and supernatural powers in ways we have never seen before. So don't give up hope; place your trust in His love and healing power. He won't let you down; just reach out and touch him. His hand is reaching out to save, honor and bless you for your sacrifices.


"For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the afflicted ones with salvation." (Psalms 149:4)

Breaking Chains

Yesterday, the Lord had me repeat the prophecy Ready to Fly? to the believers in the small church we've attended for the past few years. Shortly after I gave it, a women who helps with song worship testified that she had been suffering from a sever headache for a week and none of her pain pills were able to stop it, but now the pain was instantly gone and she was praising God. I also prayed with some others that needed to be set free. 

Later that day, when we got home, I took a nap. I was emotionally and physically tired, because of circumstances and thoughts that I have had to battled with for over a year that were hindering my sleep and my time with the Lord. I now fully realizes that the lust of the flesh is never satisfied and I couldn't deal with it anymore. Even rebuking the evil spirits that were reinforcing those thoughts only worked for a short time and then I would have to deal with them and the flesh again and again. So I sat up and I said, "I can't do this! I can't keep thinking this way." But I was unable to stop them on my own. However, as the evening went by I realized something had changed, the evil thought were gone. 

Last night, I was able to go to sleep and wake up with a clean and free mind. God knew I needed help and so He graciously broke the chains and set me free. The Lord can break any chains and cut the ropes of any mindset, circumstance or situations. He has also given us His authority to rule over evil spirits or "monsters" that would try to destroy us and our peace of mind. I'm looking foreword to helping others and seeing God set them free—so they too can fly with Him.

October 24, 2011

Ready to Fly?

Last Tuesday at a small men's meeting the Lord had me give this prophecy and I wanted to share it with you also.

Are you ready to fly? Are you ready to soar with Me? Are you ready to walk in heavenly places?
 

You are eagles and you were meant to fly. You were meant to be free, yet you have been bound by circumstances and shackled by false mind sets. But, the Lord says, I'm cutting the ropes of circumstances that have kept you bound and I'm breaking the chains of false mindsets that have hindered your thinking, and I'm setting you free. Free to fly with Me.

A Matter of Honor


For the past decade, superhero movies have been a big hit in the theaters, movies such as; Spider-Man, Superman, Batman, Iron Man plus many other unique characters. Almost everyone loves and wants to believe in a hero with superpowers, a hero who helps mankind and defends against evil and the bad guys. All these characters have incredible powers and different ways of demonstrating it. But they all had at one time one dilemma that they had to face: what would be the first thing they would do with their power? As it turns out they usually responded to an unexpected circumstance where someone needed help.

If you were a young adult, say about thirty years old, and had been given all the power in the world, what would be the first thing you would do with it? Wow, now that's a question to ponder. Our responses could vary greatly depending on our personal situations and personal humility (because often our first thoughts are of ourselves). Once our thoughts move past all the fame and glory, money, mansions, and trips around the world, hopefully we would start thinking about helping others.  

Jesus also faced a similar dilemma, as we read in John 2 1-11. "There was a wedding in Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there; and both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding. When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to Him, 'They have no wine.' And Jesus said to her, 'Woman, what does that have to do with us? My hour has not yet come.' His mother said to the servants, 'Whatever He says to you, do it.'"

Wow, let's stop there for a moment! What did she know of Jesus' powers? My answer would be purely speculation (the Apocryphal books indicate Jesus did some childhood miracles), but she knew something, and she had no doubts about it. She also just put Jesus on the spot—the nerve of his mother. True, this problem or situation involving the wine at a wedding would be very embarrassing to a host, also a dishonor to the bride and groom. However, that didn't seem to bother Jesus too much. But, what His mother wanted did bother him. Many mothers, including Mary, have the tendency to be somewhat controlling or protective over their children. But in our story, Mary was a widow with a very special and gifted child. Jesus was now a man ready to embark on his mission in life, and she wanted to help just a little. And just like all mothers, maybe she wanted to save her friends (the parents of the party) from an embarrassing situation. Jesus' reference to her as "woman" seemed to show he was a little annoyed with her interference. But, she was still His mother.

This was probably not the place or the way that Jesus thought his ministry would begin. He was there with his friends, maybe visiting with a few others and having a good time; perhaps having a good time before his work began. This lesson should also be considered by all God's sons and daughters. (God's will doesn't always line up with people's expectations. Even His promises can be fulfilled differently than expected, or sometimes extend beyond a person's time on earth.) Anyway let me continue;
"Now there were six stone waterpots set there for the Jewish custom of purification, containing twenty or thirty gallons each. Jesus said to them, 'Fill the waterpots with water.'" (Notice, Jesus didn't ask the host and the guest to gather around to see the first miracle He was about to perform.) "So they filled them up to the brim. And He said to them, 'Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter.' So they took it to him."

Remember what these pots were used for. The guests coming to the wedding usually washed their hands and feet. Nothing in the scripture text indicated they were emptied, only that they were filled to the brim. Now that's a thought to tell your host, after he takes a drink. Anyway,
"The headwaiter called the bridegroom, and said to him, 'Every man serves the good wine first, and when the people have drunk freely, then he serves the poorer wine; but you have saved the best until last.'" What God does is always better than what any man can do, no matter what was seen before.

So why did Jesus do the miracle? I don't think it was to help the wedding party guests have their fill of wine and get drunk. He could have had the waiters fill just one or two pots and that would have been enough. Nor was it to keep His mother Mary from embarrassment, by granting her wish. I believe it was a matter of honoring her and honoring her faith, "Whatever He says to you, do it." There is no question of her faith in her son Jesus; and God always honors that faith. Therefore, she was the first of many others to see faith honored. But she was also his mother. Even though in the Kingdom of God there are not the emotional ties we as humans have, Jesus still fulfilled all the laws and commandments of the Old Testament, and one of those was to honor your parents. He also knew that the human ties would eventually need to be broken, but this was not the day or the time. Jesus loved and honored her.


The Lord said, "This first miracle was a prophecy, a prophecy of the greatest move of God that is about to take place." The changing of the water; which represented the sinfulness of humanity into wine—God's best. We are about to see an out pouring of His Spirit over the whole earth, the beginning of a complete supernatural change and restoration from what we seen or experienced before. The Father will make all things new.

"In the last days I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh."
(Acts 2:17)

The Mountains of Israel

The very land upon which Abraham walked was promised to him and his descendants, as an everlasting inheritance from God. Nothing can every change that. Abraham's grandson, Jacob (Israel) had twelve sons. Each of them become a tribe becoming the Nation of Israel. Each also represented a mountain, the very land itself— the dust or sands of the seashore (typology), thus the mountains of Israel. When Israel crossed the Jordan River, they took possession of the Promise Land. But they eventually neglected the warnings of Moses and God. They followed the ways of other nations and their gods, and the consequences for those sins were sever. Even after the coming of Jesus, they for the most part rejected their promise messiah. The apostle Paul said to the Roman Christians, "For I don't want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in you own estimation—that a partial hardening has happen to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; and so all Israel will be saved, just as it is written." (Romans 11:25) 

The prophet Ezekiel had this to say:
"And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say, 'O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord God, "Because the enemy has spoken against you, 'Aha!' and, 'The everlasting heights have become our possession,' therefore prophesy and say, 'Thus says the Lord God, "For good reason they have made you desolate and crushed you from every side, that you would become a possession of the rest of the nations and you have been taken up in the talk and the whispering of the people."'" 
Therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God. Thus says the Lord God to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys, to the desolate wastes and to the forsaken cities which have become a prey and a derision to the rest of the nations which are round about, therefore thus says the Lord God, "Surely in the fire of My jealousy I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, who appropriated My land for themselves as a possession with wholehearted joy and with scorn of soul, to drive it out for a prey." Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the ravines and to the valleys, "Thus says the Lord God, 'Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and in My wrath because you have endured the insults of the nations.' Therefore thus says the Lord God, 'I have sworn that surely the nations which are around you will themselves endure their insults. But you, O mountains of Israel, you will put forth your branches and bear your fruit for My people Israel; for they will soon come. For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you will be cultivated and sown. I will multiply men on you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities will be inhabited and the waste places will be rebuilt. I will multiply on you man and beast; and they will increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited as you were formerly and will treat you better than at the first. Thus you will know that I am the Lord. Yes, I will cause men—My people Israel—to walk on you and possess you, so that you will become their inheritance and never again bereave them of children.' 
"Thus says the Lord God, 'Because they say to you, "You are a devourer of men and have bereaved your nation of children, therefore you will no longer devour men and no longer bereave your nation of children,' declares the Lord God. "I will not let you hear insults from the nations anymore, nor will you bear disgrace from the peoples any longer, nor will you cause your nation to stumble any longer," declares the Lord God.'"
"Then the word of the Lord came to me saying, Son of man, when the house of Israel was living in their own land, they defiled it by their ways and their deeds; their way before Me was like the uncleanness of a woman in her impurity. Therefore I poured out My wrath on them for the blood which they had shed on the land, because they had defiled it with their idols. Also I scattered them among the nations and they were dispersed throughout the lands. According to their ways and their deeds I judged them. When they came to the nations where they went, they profaned My holy name, because it was said of them, 'These are the people of the Lord; yet they have come out of His land. But I had concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations where they went."
Israel to Be Renewed for His Name's Sake
"Therefore say to the house of Israel, 'Thus says the Lord God, "It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations where you went. I will vindicate the holiness of My great name which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst. Then the nations will know that I am the Lord," declares the Lord God, "when I prove Myself holy among you in their sight. For I will take you from the nations, gather you from all the lands and bring you into your own land. Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols"
 "Moreover, I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will be careful to observe My ordinances. You will live in the land that I gave to your forefathers; so you will be My people, and I will be your God. Moreover, I will save you from all your uncleanness; and I will call for the grain and multiply it, and I will not bring a famine on you. I will multiply the fruit of the tree and the produce of the field, so that you will not receive again the disgrace of famine among the nations. Then you will remember your evil ways and your deeds that were not good, and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and your abominations. I am not doing this for your sake," declares the Lord God, "let it be known to you. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel!"'Thus says the Lord God,"On the day that I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste places will be rebuilt. The desolate land will be cultivated instead of being a desolation in the sight of everyone who passes by. They will say, 'This desolate land has become like the garden of Eden; and the waste, desolate and ruined cities are fortified and inhabited.' Then the nations that are left round about you will know that I, the Lord, have rebuilt the ruined places and planted that which was desolate; I, the Lord, have spoken and will do it." (Ezekiel 36:1-36 NASB bold and underline mine)
We have yet to see this prophecy completely fulfill, yet the most important and best part is still to come; the spiritual salvation and restoration of all Israel. This will be done in His time and way, just as it will be for us, our country and other nations. By His grace we are save, not of our works less any man should boast (Eph.2:8). It is God's grace and grace alone. Period!

As you just read that it was after God brings Israel back to Himself, that He causes them to remember their evil ways... and will loath themselves in their own sight. This also applies for us Christians who are gentiles, because we are the spiritual sons of Israel. Yet, God is not going to make our sin public that will be for us to do if we chose to. However, confession is good for the soul, and it also helps to free others from their bondage and bring them to salvation too.

What Will It Take?

Lately I have asked the Lord, how much judgment will it take before people will turn their hearts toward Him? We have seen disasters taking place all around the world and yet I have seen very little change in people's hearts or attitudes. Most don't even see it as judgment, but freak accidents or an act of "mother nature." In many of those situations people may cry out, "Why God?" But that's often the end of their search for an answer. Some hearts may change their behavior for a while, but most will usually turn to their friends, neighbors, government, or insurance company for help. Only a few really get the message and surrender their hearts to a loving God that will do whatever it takes to reach His children. This pattern has continued for ages, and it seems more frequently this last century. 

Even in the Bible we saw how blind people were to their depravity. God judged the children of Israel over and over again and still most would not repent nor did they see the wrong in what they were doing, even when being warned many times by God's prophets.

The Bible also shows us that God's uses the weather and earthquakes to bring judgment even the lack of rain or attacks of other countries was a form of judgment upon His people or other nations. So what will it take to humble mankind? How many more will have to die before people or a nation humble themselves? One night the Lord said, "even though you pray that you would like to see change now, I'm still God. What if it took another 10, 20 or 30 million more lives before people's hearts were humbled?"

If we expect to see real change in our lifetime, I believe it can only happen one way. The scripture says, "If My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, the I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land." (I Chronicles 7:14) The only real problem with that this verse, is that most Christians don't even see their own sins (self-centerness), just as the world doesn't and they and we assume that everything will eventually be OK despite unpleasant situations or the circumstances we're in now. Neither do most Christians really know how to pray or spend time abiding with Abba Father. 

We must humble ourselves and have our eyes opened to see our own depravity. Likewise, we need to prepare ourselves to hear God's voice so we can understand who we really are and what we have in Christ. I believe that is changing, but our flesh continues to resist the Spirit and it is an on-going battle. However, our Spirit-man must overcome as we yield our mind to His. Then our flesh will submit and circumstances will bow. The victory is ours and our future secure in Jesus Christ.

This past month I have been spending more time with God and as a result I have also had to deal with more spiritual warfare—satan doesn't want us to pursue God's presence. Sure it's challenging, but it's still worth it. My heart is crying out for more of God's presence and anointing, and I know that it is the only answer that will change me or restore this lost and broken world. 

This is also the middle of the Jewish Tabernacle Season, which started on the 29th. of September. And even though I'm not a Jew, God's Holy Seasons should still be an important time in our lives. It will to take the anointing of God on His sons and daughters who have chosen to enter the tabernacle's Most Holy Place (THE PRESENCE OF GOD) by faith to change things. We must remain there just as Jesus did to establish His Kingdom on earth—because everything else has failed.

My heart's desire is to abandon and immerse myself in His love and grace and I pray that is your desire also. Time is precious and I would like to be using and investing it more wisely. It is also my desire that what I have to say and do will have a greater influence and impact toward the Kingdom of God. Therefore, I have shared all that I need to for now, and so for the next three month or longer, I will not be posting anymore new articles. You may want to reread some of the past prophesies or read articles on Sheldon's, Cloak of Zeal blog site. They can be life changing. In the meantime I will post certain articles from the past just to keep my site active and for new followers. 

We are in a covenant with Yahweh and we've barely scratched the surface of knowing Him and understanding His ways. Not to mention all that He has in store for us. We should love Him with all their heart, mind, soul and strength, and God will teach us how to do that by abiding in Him. 

God bless you and thank you for joining me on this incredible journey. It's just begun and it's only going to get better. Amen!                                
Your friend and brother in Christ.

Note: God said that 2012 would be an AWESOME YEAR! And I will have some traveling to do the next year. However, there is still more in store for us the rest of this year. The spirit realm is always active and reaching out to prepare our hearts for the Father's visitation. Remember: Prayer is the key and so is forgiveness, "Whatever you ask for (desire) when you pray, believe that you have received it and it will be given to you." (Mark 11:24 and 25) Forgive others, including yourself and please pray for me. Thanks again! I love you all and hope to see you someday in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Golden Calfs

It was near the end of Jesus ministry, and He had some final words to say to the religious leaders. It was a harsh discourse, which began with seven woes. These warning came from the Father's heart. Jesus said to them, “Woe to you scribes and Pharisees...” Jesus still loved them and He would proved it a few days later by hanging on a cross. But for now He had some things to get off His chest. Jesus had been patient long enough and their hearts needed to be exposed. The scribes and Pharisees had accused, harassed, argued, and questioned Him for over three years, and now they were plotting to kill Him, their Messiah. I believe, these seven woes from Jesus was a despite attempt to open their eyes and heart for the need for a savior before they faced Him at the judgment seat; where He would say to the depart from Me for I never knew you.

Each woe shed light on their darken hearts. However, there is one that I would like to highlight at this time, and that has to do with the swearing by the gold of the temple. The Pharisees believe that those who swore by the gold were more obligated to what they said. Jesus told to them, “You fools, which is more important the gold or the temple that sanctified it.” The Pharisee had made the gold of the temple more important than the temple itself, which ultimately represented Jesus Christ and His Bride. They place a greater value on the material substance than the spiritual, things that were done by man’s effort and labor. Just as the Israelites had Aaron build a golden calf in the wilderness, so too the Pharisees, in their minds, had taken the place of Aaron and made something for the people to worship.

Many ministers today would not see themselves as modern scribes and Pharisees. Yet many have placed a higher value on the church building, their ministry and even their words or beliefs, than on the word of God or the examples of Jesus. They will do very thing to protect their domain and the control over the people than to consider the heart of the Father. Just watch them and see what happens when any of that stuff is threatened. They would consider it an attack from the satan rather than a rebuke from God, just as the Pharisees felt toward Jesus. And even though they would never consider killing someone, many certainly have done it with their words. God has been very patient and gracious, but there will come a time when the prophets will rise up and confront them and it won’t be very pretty. If Jesus did it then, you can be sure God will do it again. It was a prophecy of things to come.

Sure it would be easy for us to point finger at the religious system and leaders, but how about us. Are there things or ideas that we still hold dear to us that they have become our Golden Calf. Things that we feel are more important and swear by them as if they were of God. I felt that way about some things and I was wrong. Idolatry comes in many shapes and forms, including people, places and things and traditions.

Have we become just as guilty claiming not to be like our forefathers the Pharisees, when in reality we’re not that much different? Jesus Christ is the Gold Standard that we should live, buy and invest more time in. And the more we have of Him the less we will want of the other.

What Do You See?

This past year, when Sheldon and I met on Friday nights, God had told us to think big, and not to despise small beginnings, and to see the future. And so we have prayed some incredible prayers. However, now that I’m working more solo, I’m still trying to take some pretty big steps in my prayers of faith as God would lead me.

Lately, the Lord has been asking me, “What do you see?” And as a son I understand that my Father wants me to see beyond the obvious, and then to pray about it. He has also told me not to think or pray small prayers. They don’t necessarily have to be long prayers, but ones that simply reflect God’s heart and will. So I have been doing it. For example, one day a couple months ago I was back in central Washington, where I used to live. I was looking at some fields that surrounded our acreages that were once was covered in natural grasses and wildflowers, but now they were covered mostly with weeds that had spread or blown in; chocking out most of the other plant life. It was a shame to see what had happened over the past twenty years in this county. It was an endless battle trying to kill all the weeds. And this has been happening all over the world. But, it wasn’t supposed to be like this. The garden that God had made for mankind was meant to be beautiful. So I prayed and asked God to remove the curse off our property, our country, and the earth as the result of Adam’s sin in the Garden of Eden. And to remove the weeds from our hearts that have also hindered or chocked our relationship with God. What usually happens in the spiritual realm also reflects and affects the natural realm one. This is why we need to change first. As it says in II Chron. 12:7, “If My people who are called by My name, will humble themselves, pray and turn from their wicked ways, then I will forgive them and will heal their land.” (Most of us do not see our own wickedness, that’s the reason the world is the ways it is. But we have to start some place and so it must start with the church, by faith through repentance our prayers.)

 
Another time I was sitting in the car waiting to get a pizza, and I felt the Lord ask me, what do you see? I looked and saw a young woman get out of a car and she was extremely skinny. I thought that doesn’t look natural and so I prayed that God would help her and that I cast down that spirit of anorexia and declared that she is free, and that she would see herself through Christ‘s eyes. I also prayed that God would also set others free across the planet from their eating disorders.
 
Then a few days later, I was in a J.C. Penny department store and I felt God asked me, what do you see? From where I was standing, I saw large photographs of beautiful people everywhere, and manikins draped in the latest clothes fashions, plus racks and tables displaying all kinds of new clothes. I told the Lord, “I see vanity.” Everything there was to try and make people look better on the outside with no thought or cares about the inside. The stores only interest was in making money. (Many people in America have far more clothes than they need while other poor nations struggle to have something to wear. I remember one time seeing a large 40’ container filled with new and use clothes, because there was no longer any interest in them at the Goodwill Store, so they were hauling them to the dump, because it was too expensive to do anything else with them. That to me was a shame on our society.) Anyway I asked God to forgive us, and America, for our vanity. To help us see our true self. Some people spend more time in front of the mirror, than they do considering what is really mattered to God. “Man looks on the outside, but God looks on the heart.”
 
Again, one evening I went out for a walk and I saw papers and trash all over the street and in yards that people had thrown from their cars after leaving a local convenient store. I was seeing how lazy and careless some people had become. This was reflection of their heart and attitude. Garbage in and garbage out, and where are we going to put it all? Only God can clean up the mess we’ve made of His creation, both on this planet and of mankind. Again I prayed, Father forgive us for we know not what we do. I wondered what this world would look like a hundred or even a thousand years from now. God help us! And give us wisdom on how to restore this world and people’s lives. On my way back to our apartment, I picked up some of the garbage and then put it in a trash bin.
 
Then this last week I saw lots of moths in one of our fir trees and lots of rust on the water pipes I was repairing, I prayed that God would remove the curse of pestilences, rust and mildew from the earth that devour the beauty of His creation. I also prayed that He would remove the pride, greed and thoughts of lust from my heart that devour my time and emotions that I seem to be unable to remove.

My point in sharing all this is that as sons and daughter of God we need to speak bigger prayers—to declare things as though they are. I know to some people this may sound crazy, but God wants us to restore this world and His people. So how is it going to happen if we don’t pray and speak those things that are not as though they are? That’s what faith is all about. Right? We need to think outside the box, beyond our self and beyond our personal family. We need to speak and act on behalf of future generations. God wants us to pray, and pray His will and see heaven on earth once again. “Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”

Miracle of Multiplication

"I telling you tonight that the miracle of multiplication is your inheritance to perform just as it was for Abraham and as it was seen through Jesus and His disciples, that which you saw in the Bible. Whatever things you ask for when you pray. Whatever you desire in your heart; these things will be yours.

It's been a long...It's a Beatles song. It's been a long and winding road. It's been a long road, and it seems like it's been going on for half your lives. And you know, it's gone on for thousands of years, because your simply living out Abraham's life in modern clothing. I have invested a lot into you. I'm investing everything into you. I'm investing everything into you. I'm not going to be testing you to see if your worthy of it, just to pull it away and give it to someone better another day, that's not the Bible. I've been grooming you your whole life, to be placed upon a lampstand for my house keeping. And I know your flesh wrestles with that...You know the heart of the Father and that He loves people and that He has invested all that He has in you, just as He did before you were born. And He seeks for you, both of you to understand how He has always seen you. We've see you without that sin nature. Oh, He recognizes The Fall of mankind, of course, but He sees you beyond that, without that.

You see, you may spend a lot of time and attention about that stuff. And I really don't like it when you do that. It really isn't that helpful. I like it when you come up here and put your head against My chest and you start hearing My heart and desires; to know My heart and ways.

On Wednesday night, David, you quoted the prophet Jeremiah to the people, 'that Yahweh loves you with an everlasting love.' Through those words you will convince My people that the Father's plans for them are for good, that the Fathers hearts is all Good, And the more people receive and accept those words the more His presence will come into people's lives, to that "church." You see, that great move of God is simply allowing God in the door."  

(A portion of prophecy from Sheldon David on 2-04-2011)

Every son of God has to walk out the life and faith of Abraham, even Jesus did. Christ was also in Abraham. The gift of multiplication is available to all of them. However, there are many churches today who are teaching there congregation how to lead people to Christ, but often ignoring the most important thing. As "good" as that may be, it is not the way of God. People get save, because someone paid a price and spent time in the presence of God, just as Jesus and His disciples did. Then on the Day of Pentecost they saw the results. It is the presence of the Holy Spirit the bring conviction and salvation, not clever words or principles.

Although some people may get a few results following these methods, the best results will come from those who are true sons and daughters of God. Hundreds and thousands of people will be set free; physically and spiritually, because their life and prayers transcended time and space for future generations. They will even break bread to feed the hungry multitudes. This is the miracle of multiplication.

God's Chosen People

"Since you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory..."   

"Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. [Put on His robe of Glory.] Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. (Colossians 3: 1-18 brackets mine)

Sonship takes God's words to another level by faith. They are not deceived, but lead by His Holy Spirit, therefore they have a different life style. They see and do things from a different perspective, and the future God has planned for them is awesome. "Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him." (I Corinthians 2: 9) 

Note: Sometimes it best to just let the Bible speak for itself.

Birth Pangs and the Man Child

"In the 1960's there was a revolt. The church often called it a rebellion. There was a revolution that was rising up from the earth. A change was needed, prejudices were meant to be broken. The world needed change. That was the beginning of the birth pangs. That was the beginning of the birth pangs—the beginning. But the child that would be born in this age, a son, the multi-member man would be born. And what appeared as a revolt or a rebellion in the 1960's will be a powerful sword in the powerful hand in this decade. The child, the man child is being born. 

I spoke to you about a piercing of the heart that Christ's side was pierced and in Christ you were pierced and out of His side came water and blood. He poured out Himself for the Body and the Bride of Christ. All the contents of His heart, all the contents of His soul poured out into the earth for the revelation to come. Many men and women have died through wars. Oh man, oh man, meaningless battles and wars for the sake of deception. Blood being spilled so one nation can take advantage of another nation and have a move on this chaotic chessboard they call politics. And I never asked you, my believers and sons to play on the same table as they. I asked you to be in my presence, to hear my voice, to speak my will and word." 

(A portion of a prophecies spoken by Sheldon David.)


The Bible gives us a hint of this child in the book of Isaiah and Revelation:
Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. Who hath heard such a thing? Who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her sons. (Isaiah 66:7-8)
A great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and a crown of twelve stars on her head. She was pregnant and cried out in pain as she was about to give birth... The dragon stood in front of the woman who was about to give birth, so that it might devour her child the moment he was born. She gave birth to a son, a male child, who will rule all the nations with an iron scepter. And her child was snatched up to God and to his throne. The woman fled into the wilderness to a place prepared for her by God. (Revelation 12:1-6)

As I have said before, everything in Jesus' life was a prophecy. From His birth until His death, even His resurrection and Ascension all prophesied of something greater to come; a 30, 60 and a hundred fold revelation. The prophesies of Jesus' birth also prophesied of the natural rebirth of Israel in 1948, and the spiritual birth of the sons of God; a man child, a multi or many member man who would one day rule the earth with a rod of iron, because they share the same heart and authority as Christ. A thousand years from now there could even be a greater birthing.

These sons (and daughters) have been prepared and hidden in Jesus Christ (God's secret weapons), and they will come forth with resurrection power and authority, to establish His Kingdom on earth. What the church has failed to understand is that it takes more than just being saved and believing you're a son or having some theological knowledge, but to have His life manifesting in and through us. Sonship comes by being in submission to the Father's will and having an intimate relationship with Him. We're not to be of this world, but live somewhere between heaven and earth knowing God's heart and ways. That is why I share so much with you, but we all need to know His voice as well.

I believe that those who have followed our blogs would agree that the church is not where it needs to be, and that God has been preparing you for such a time as this. You are sons and daughters of the Heavenly Father. There are many gifted people, but as you know that's not enough. It's the anointing that was on Jesus' life that the world wants and needs to see again. We have seen a glimpse of this in a few people's lives, but we will see it in more sons in 2012, and with greater power and authority. An overturn is coming, yet it's not going to be the end of the world, but the beginning of a new one; as God's grace and love move across planet earth.

This revelation of the man child was given to the apostle John about 2000 years ago, but he probably didn't understand everything he heard or saw. Today, God is giving greater understanding as to the purpose and meaning of this "man child" for this generation and decade. It is for true Sonship to be established on earth. These sons know who they are and their mandate, restoring the Kingdom of God. There will be signs, wonders and miracles that follow them, and they will break the powers of darkness and sets people free. Therefore, by faith we watch and wait and move; as the birth pangs increase and the earth shakes and trembles. Soon all will see the glory of the Lord, and our hope and joy will be made complete.

"All creation eagerly waits the revealing of the sons of God."

(Romans 8:19)

This prophecy is an older one of David's, but it is worth repeating:

"My children are beginning to know the birth pangs of a New Day. I am that Day, declares the Lord. The gods of this age are reeling, loudly and tenaciously reeling, because that DAY is close at hand. Night is falling!

A birthing is upon My people. The order about to be born will not be the same as before. Many who were leaders in past moves of God will be passed over in this great delivery. Many in the old order will attempt to keep people following the traditional way, yet I have aborted that way, declares the Lord.

The thrust upon My new people is to reform the Church; this will be done through a seemingly rebellious nature that tears and shreds false covenants and religious mindsets. Yet these people are not rebellious; they are holy. They will not TRY to convert everyone to their way, yet they do have a solidly stated and heartfelt passion to be faithful to their Lord. In this passion they will disregard the prized teachings of many prestigious elders, becoming a new path to follow. This order will appear to be the enemy of the Church, but will be My friend and ally whom I anoint to tear down worldliness in My House. Their mission will continue until Jesus Christ is seen as Priest and King within His Church."
