JAZZED OVER GATES!
by Pam Clark (pamclark@prophetic.net)
I am really excited about this recent explanation that was a revelation to me.
Now maybe other people figured it out, but I can be a little slow at times.
Matthew 16:13-19
13 When Jesus came into the region of Caesarea Philippi, He asked His disciples, saying, "Who do men say that I, the Son of Man, am?"
14 So they said, "Some say John the Baptist, some Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets."
15 He said to them, "But who do you say that I am?"
16 Simon Peter answered and said, "You are the Christ [anointed with the dynamic Spirit of God], the Son of the living God."
17 Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.
18 "And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.
19 "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
(NKJ)
Some translations say "the gates of hell shall not prevail."
I have never understood what the "gates of hell" really were. Of course it sounds good, like "Let's go out and conquer some devils" because you can get really sick of devils. But if someone asked me to really define what that was, I could not.
I did know that "the gates" of the city were considered meeting places of the governing people or where transactions would take place. I also knew that they did marketing business at the gates. I could get a picture of city life in my head, but I couldn't get one for the "gates of hell."
Then I heard a preacher on tv say that "What are gates for? Aren't they to keep something out?" and I thought, yes, and then you get in by a code, a key, or permission, or by a force of some sort.
Then I got this global view of things. You know how life revelation works, it builds on lines and precepts.
In the Garden we lost our souls. God made everything and said it was good. He made man and woman and said it was very good! So God really likes the idea of a good earth with mankind on it. He made it all. The Bible also says we were made for fellowship with Him. That's another whole study, but let me stick to the point here.
Man lost his soul when he changed gods. The lying spirit of death came along as a twisting serpent and said "Partake of me! Eat me! Fill yourself up with me! Reject God and listen to me. It's a better deal." He lied.
And stupid like many of us can be at times, we chowed down. But after we ate it, a new force was at work. We did get what we asked for - the knowledge of good and evil - but God only wanted us really to know what was good. But to make fellowship work, He had to give us choice, and don't we love to exercise that? But it is a foundation for Love.
Okay, basic foundational stuff there. The force of death and evil was now at work. For those who want to call it a fairy tale, try to stop evil and the day of your death. It can be bigger than you are!
Okay, all that bad news aside, let's go for some good news! We can still relate to good. Good is very important. It is also one of the manifestations of the fruit of the Holy Spirit and Jesus said we are to judge things by its fruit. So what is that Fruit? Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self control.
There is worlds of revelation on each of those, and on what is NOT the fruit of the Holy Spirit, but I am trying to make my point here.
Jesus came as a life giving Force and He said we had to "eat His body and drink His blood." Sounds gross if you don't have Spiritual ears. But it's the same concept as what happened in the Garden, only back in our favor to the Life side of quality living.
When Jesus breathed on His disciples, He imparted the Holy Spirit to them. The Holy Spirit seals us:
Ephesians 1:13-14
13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise,
14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. (NKJ)
Ephesians 4:30
30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. (NKJ)
Okay, death was taking over but revelation of God was keeping us. We needed to be sealed for it, and Jesus provided that! In times past, people knew they needed a Messiah or Christ - which also means "anointed one." Many came along but only one rose from the dead in a new body and presented Himself to many.
The devil was out to destroy us, because he challenges God. He got booted out of Heaven but fell to the earth, where our carnal nature existence is without God, until we allow God His Dominion back into our lives.
And I don't mean religious junk but a Life-giving Spirit. This is not about rules and regulations!
When we receive the Holy Spirit through the life and work of Jesus, we receive power against evil. It's going to take a corporate power to resist much evil, and as we reincorporate this Life, we are the Advancing Church. (The word church means "the called out ones.")
Now I know what that statement "the gates of hell" really means!!!
On this Rock of REVELATION, (not a just a carnal or flesh person), JESUS will build His Church, and the protection or enforcements of Hell or Hades cannot prevail against the Advance! He's coming down!
That's good news to me. And when it's time to "come up higher" the enemy will just destroy himself in the Tribulation.
Now I have a good home group leader and he has been preaching that Hades means "the place of lack of knowledge." I just looked it up in my Bible dictionary to confirm that and he is right. It is the place of the lack of knowledge about God.
So.... what does the enemy do but try to prevent us from having the correct knowledge of God so he can destroy us. Jesus said, "Only God is good." The goodness of God wants us back. I don't know about you, but I am getting there as fast as I can!
Blessings to you~

A NEW LEVEL OF FAITH by Patricia Hamel 11/24 on: Today at 08:00:27am
A WORD IN SEASON ~ A New Level of Faith
by Patricia Hamel ~ November 24, 2008
The anointing that lies within you is arising and My spirit is moving and stirring within you.
You are now walking in a new level of faith and I am taking you and building you. You are being changed from the inside out. No longer will they look at you and see you in the same way for you have been transformed by the renewing of your mind. Be pliable in My hand and I will use you to touch the lives of others. Lives will be changed through you and they shall know that I am the Lord.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. Romans 12:2
WALK HOLY BEFORE ME by Teresa Seputis 11/24 on: Today at 07:51:55am
Walk Holy Before Me
by Teresa Seputis [ts@godspeak.net]
I am life, and in Me there is no darkness. Therefore, if you want to
truly live in the fullness of all that I have for you, you must put
aside the things of this world that gives the darkness a hold over you.
These things may seem desirable for a season, but there is no benefit
in them for you--in fact, they just hold you back. Let go of them to
embrace Me and to embrace the abundant life and fullness of joy that
I have for you.
What good does it do you to worry or fret about things that you have
no control over? Do I not hold the future in My hand, and have I not
promised to take care of you? Trust Me and lay aside the fear--it does
not serve you to hang on to it. Embrace faith in Me and in My ability
to take care of you. Faith it will serve you much better than fear or
anxiety, for I am faithful, and you cannot go wrong by trusting in Me.
Likewise, let go of all bitterness and resentment and unforgiveness,
so that you may begin to enter into a deeper walk with Me. Have I not
said in My word that you are to forgive those who wrong you, just as
I have forgiven you? Respond to My word then, and embrace the fullness
of My forgiveness.
My forgiveness doesn't just cleanse you by the blood of My Son, it also
empowers you to forgive others. I am not asking you to forgive so that
you may be forgiven, for that would be "earning" a gift that was bought
and paid for at a very great price, and then given to you freely.
But I want you to receive the full measure of My forgiveness. That will
break the power of offense over you and enable to you walk in grace
without holding grudges. Releasing forgiveness breaks the enemy's power
to torment you, and I want you to be free from all torment and oppression.
So embrace My forgiveness to the point where you can freely release it
to others.
Walk holy before Me, and try to abstain from the things that you know
offend Me. Seek My pleasure instead of seeking the pleasures of this
world. If you do that, you will find joy unspeakable...both in this life
and in the one to come. Honor My word and walk in My ways. Purpose in
your heart to obey Me because you love Me, and this will please Me
greatly.
You cannot enter into the fullness and abundance of life that I desire
for you unless you let go of these things. You cannot stretch out your
hand out to receive the wonderful gifts that I have for you when your
hands are busy holding onto the things that separate you from Me. So
let go of them and embrace Me.
I am life, and in Me there is no darkness. Allow My life and My light
to saturate you, to cleanse you and to transform you, that you may
walk holy before Me.

My Happy Heart
November 24, 2008
My heart is happy! It is a loving heart. It never vacillates in its devotion to mankind, never. This is a truth in which you may rejoice. Rejoice that you serve a happy God, a God Who rejoices in His creation, singing songs of loving delight over each of His children.
Look on the coming hour and know that My heart is still happy. No matter what the circumstances may be, I know exactly what is taking place, and I already know the outcome. So don’t despair, beloved. Don’t despair over your situations when they arise. Know that I am with you, supporting you. I know all from the beginning to the end. I will entitle you to rise up strong and you will know victory.
There is victory to be had by one who looks to the Lord God Almighty, trusting Him to deliver success in one’s walk. Yes! There is victory in looking to Me, the Author and Finisher of your faith. Hear Me and know that what I speak is truth. It is for your ears. My words should bolster you. They should enable you to stand straight and tall when any adversity comes your way.
I have a happy heart, and I want you to have a happy heart too. Rejoice that I am strong and powerful. Rejoice in the fact that I am good, good through and through. And, beloved, rejoice that I love you dearly. My happy heart is extended toward you, and there is nothing that I do that is not done to bless you, bless the outcome of your walk, bless you soundly, enabling you to rise up strong with a happy heart that is the mirror image of Mine. Now! Don’t you think that is something about which to rejoice? Don’t you believe that is something in which to rise up strong as you rejoice in the wonderful truth that your God wants you to have a happy heart, a happy heart that is the mirror image of His very own???
ONLY BY THE SPIRIT by Marsha Burns 11/24 on: Today at 07:40:44am
SMALL STRAWS IN A SOFT WIND by Marsha Burns
November 24, 2008
Be still and be sensitive to the moving of My Spirit, says the Lord. For, it is only by the Spirit that you will know whether to intercede in prayer or make declarations and decree a thing. It is only by the Spirit that you will discern attacks against you and to know when and how to fight the enemy. It is only by the Spirit that you will know when to worship and when to be silent and listen. You have many resources at your disposal -- all that you need to understand, overcome, and break through every situation and circumstance. But, you need to be aware and yield to the moving of My Spirit. Have ears to hear, and listen, says the Lord. Matthew 11:15 "He who has ears to hear, let him hear!"
YOU ARE A COVENANT PEOPLE WHO WILL WALK IN KINGDOM POWER by Bill Burns 11/24 on: Today at 07:39:42am
THE TRUMPET by Bill Burns
November 24, 2008
Come, My people, and establish yourselves before Me, for indeed these are the days of My power. These are the days in which I will establish in you the power of the kingdom that shall flow out of you. You are a covenant people who will walk in kingdom power. I have much to accomplish yet in the earth. I have many enemies that will become My footstool, and you will become My battle axes that will bring them under My authority. Come with faith, believing that those things that you submit to Me will be undertaken on your behalf. If you will submit your purposes to Me, your will and your life to Me, then I will orchestrate the outcome and bring you into the fullness of your destiny in these days of My power, and the release of My power shall impact the world before I return. That impact will come through you as I empower you to pray, to prophesy and to bind the things that must be bound on the earth. Come with faith and expectation; come and adventure with Me for these are days of extreme ups and downs, but within those extremes, you will find Me as you move with all purpose into the fullness of My kingdom. I am indeed shaking all things, and this shaking will cause the kingdoms of the world to become My kingdoms, says the Lord.

WE HAVE ENTERED INTO THE ERA OF THE SEVENTH SIGHT, THE SEVENTH WATCH 11/24 on: Today at 07:25:41am
"We have Entered into the Era of the Seventh Sight, the Seventh Watch"
Nov 24, 2008
Prophesied on November 16, 2008 - Pasadena, California:
A Small Cloud Shall Bring Rain
The Spirit of God says, "You have waited, you have seen nothing." The sky is void of even the sign of a drop of rain. We have looked and we have looked and we have searched, but nothing in our sky. God said, "Your sixth time has come to an end: the end of carnal sight, the end of carnality within the eyes of men. Now you shall step into the seventh sight. And once you see it, it shall come in abundance," says the Lord!
How many of you can hear it? The sound of abundance! The thunder clouds! Those are thunder, lightning.
We have entered into the era of the seventh sight, the seventh watch. "You have just been given sight, for this small cloud now shall bring rain to your business, rain to your ministries, rain to this nation and rain to California," says the Lord.
"There shall be a sign," says the Spirit of the Living God. "There shall be a sign," says the Spirit of the Lord. "Hear Me, people of this nation. Now these words are not gentle and quiet. Hear these words:
"You have been in division and discord. You have stood in two opinions. Now let it be at rest. You shall not stand as one with two opinions. It is now time for you to decide this day: Is it the Lord who you follow or it is man that you follow? Is it the Lord's prophets you follow or is it the prophets of Baal that you follow?"
God said, "There has been a line drawn and now it is time for Me to disintegrate the force that has caused this division, that has caused strife in this nation. I will send you a sign. I will bring torrents of rain and your flowers shall bloom; your flowers shall have a fragrance at a time when they are not supposed to. And I will show you that the Rose of Sharon shall once again be the Rose of the Rose of Sharon, says the Lord!
I'm Talking About the Greatest and the Nicest Storm We've Ever Had in Our Lives
We stand in California with fires surrounding us. I'm interested in nothing else, Lord, but to pronounce Your will. The Spirit of God has moved into this building, but more so He has moved out of this building. Thousands are watching now by the technology that has been afforded to us in this day. You who are watching, come to this altar.
This is about something that has just been announced. We have had six watches, and every time we've gone to watch for the pronouncement and the fulfillment of the word of the Lord, it's been empty. The sky has not produced one sign, and it's been a dry land and a dry time. But now we have moved out of the sixth watch, and that which seems so small will bring so much!
Do you understand? Tonight, as we stand and gather around this altar as God told me to do nothing else, He said, "Gather the people around My altar and let them see, for we have now entered the seventh watch to go and see." Rain, we command you to come! You have no choice. The Lord has spoken, who can but prophesy? Rain, we command you to come!
For the sign is around us. For Elijah, it was fire, fire, and the fire that surrounded them consumed the sacrifice - and then came the rain. The fire has come, the fire has consumed, and now we command what God spoke tonight for this nation. Let it rain! Let it rain! Let it rain! Let it rain! Let it rain! Rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain, rain!
Gather Around the Altar and See
Lord, it is customary for the prophet to stand and the people to gather around. Samuel said to the people, the nation of Israel: "Gather around me, let us talk." Elijah said to the people, "Gather around me, let's talk." I said to the people tonight, "Gather around me."
We don't just have those that are standing here, we have those that are with us watching right now on their computer. What a brilliant technology is afforded us in this day and age to touch people thousands, if not tens of thousands, of miles away. You are part of this. You've been drawn to an altar around a piano in a den, the house of the prophet, to hear what? To hear what is about to come upon this nation, what is about to come upon you as a people.
"But, Kim, you don't understand; there's not a sign, there's not a sign of abundance. There's not a sign of our fulfillment of our prophetic word." What did you say? God said, "I am bringing you into the seventh watch." You've been six times. You say, "Well, Kim, I've heard that before." No! This is for a specific time. It has been designated. Now comes the cloud to bring the abundance.
What a contradiction! A little cloud brings an abundance of rain to such a degree that men have to scatter and run. Acceleration has already begun, but now we want the storm to come upon us. I'm talking about the greatest and the nicest storm we've ever had in our lives. And God said, "Your flowers shall bring forth a fragrance at a time they are not supposed to, which will be a sign of the Rose of the Rose of Sharon." Can you imagine that this time is created just for us? Now we gather around the altar.
A Golden Opportunity
The Spirit says, "So many have grown hard to My voice because they feel that I have departed, because of empty skies." There comes a time of watching, waiting, laboring...I really believe that God is whispering a secret to us: At our worst possible time, when we have concluded that there is no hope, He suddenly comes as He has done, as is His habit over the centuries of the millennium, before the beginning of time.
What a golden opportunity for God to do it again. Why not? Why not be the generation that can tell a story to their children, when the prognosticators of the universe are giving their predictions, so smug, declaring that, "History has taught us - therefore it shall happen again." And suddenly He comes. But there has to be a prophet that must declare it and there must be a people that will swear it.
SONGS OF THE LORD by Ras Robinson 11/24 on: Today at 07:23:21am
November 24, 2008. Songs of the Lord. You have been hearing songs of praise in your head for some time now. May it be known that as you entertain these songs you are actually singing with Me as I sing over you My songs. I know of your great desire to know Me in the deepest reaches of your being. Not only to know Me but to forget yourself and live My life through you in total surrender. I say unto you this is a good thing, actually a promotion for your status with Me. No one else can love Me the way you do. You bring such utter delight to Me. Keep singing and singing and singing. Exquisite unity is now possible as you have never experienced it. Watch and see. Songs of the Lord.
Philippians 3:9-10 “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.” Ras Robinson*
November 24, 2008. You do not realize what a blessing you are, and what good decisions you make. Because of your work ethic, you just keep on doing the right thing. It doesn’t make any difference whether you are recognized or not, but it is appreciated when it comes. You don’t do things for recognition, but do them because they are yours to do. For that reason you are getting ready to be publically recognized. You have trusted and obeyed Me in the small things, and now you will be elevated to greater responsibility. You are up to the task because of the things you have overcome in past positions. Your humility blesses Me.
Matthew 25:20-21 The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, 'Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more talents.’ 21"His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.” Bev Robinson**
"MY TESTIMONY IS CHANGING TO BE MORE THANKFUL FOR WHAT MONEY CANNOT BUY...."I'M BREATHING, MY HEART IS BEATING, AND I HAVE A PULSE!.... I'M A RICH MAN!" 1 Thessalonians 5:18
1 Thessalonians 5:18 "In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you."
It is so important for everyone one of us to be in the will of God this hour. This verse tells us how to get there! "In everything give thanks!" Could being thankful possibly cancel your personal 'recession', or a possible coming 'drepression' that man is telling you about? I believe we need to celebrate 'Thanksgiving' every day starting now!
"HAS YOUR MOUTH SPOKEN THE WORD 'RESESSION' OR 'A POSSIBLE COMING DEPRESSION'? IF SO....REPENT!" Proverbs 13:2,3
Proverbs 13:2,3 ( the book of wisdom ) 2."A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth...." 3. He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life; but he that openeth wide his lips shall eat violence."
How many times have we said, "I'm broke, I'm sick, I'm catching a cold" and watched it come to pass? Little do we realize that when we open our mouth we are prophesying! Why not say..."I have all the money I will ever need! I am catching another healing! Colds can't catch up with me, for goodness and mercy follow me all the days of my life! My two angels, 'goodness' and 'mercy' take care of me!
IF A COIN WAS FOUND IN A FISHE''S MOUTH, MAYBE THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN OUR MOUTH AND OUR MONEY! Matthew 17:27
Matthew 17:27 "Not withstanding, lest we should offend the government, go to the sea and cast a hook and take up the fish that first comes up. And when you open his mouth you will find a piece of money. Take the money, give to them for Me and you." ( paraphrased )
I heard a saying once that even a fish would stay out of trouble if it learned to keep its mouth shut!
In the Spirit I saw words coming out of the mouths of God's people that appeared to be forming chain like links hooking together. These were negative words and with each comment the chain grew thicker wrapping itself around the object we were complaining about. One of the largest chains I saw was wrapping around finances. Each time someone would say, "I don't have enough money," this chain became reinforced with strength, wrapping tighter around that person's wallet or purse and bank account. As this complaining continued, I saw huge locks coming upon these chains, as a spirit of poverty and depression began to be released from hell to fulfill the words that were being spoken!
"THOU ART SNARED WITH THE WORDS OF YOUR MOUTH, THOU ART TAKEN WITH THE WORDS OF YOUR LIPS." Proverbs 6:2
I saw enormous chains come over whole ministries and churches. Wherever two or more people were gathered together and began to say, "We don't have enough money for this or that in our ministry or church," huge chains began to wrap around whole ministries, congregations, pulpits and altar rails. I saw a muzzle come over the mouths of many pastors when just a few church members spoke in agreement, saying, "We can't afford to pay him that much!" Chains from hell started growing around that pastor's whole family as the spirit of poverty continued to increase in churches, like a little leaven leavening the whole lump! I saw churches closing as chains and locks were being installed on their front doors as the spirit of poverty overcame many members, stopping them from giving tithes and offerings.
BREATHING QUALIFIES US TO WORSHIP! Psalm 150:6
Psalm 150:6 "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord."
I then saw in the Spirit one person stand up in a church that was about to close its doors. This person began lifting up his wallet toward heaven and began thanking God that he even had a wallet. Though nothing was inside his wallet, he began praising God that he had the breath to praise Him in spite of his lack of finances. As this man began lifting up his wallet with thanksgiving and praise, the chain snapped off of it and the Lord spoke audibly to this church. "Let everything that has breath praise Me. In everything give thanks." A revelation was breaking forth upon God's people that just breathing qualifies us to praise and worship Him! "Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord!" Psalm 150:6
"BY YOUR WORDS, YOU SHALL BE JUSTIFIED....." Matthew 12:37
"In God We Trust!" became a sermon as someone pulled out his last dollar bill and began to prophesy what was written on our money. Our money was now preaching to us to not to trust in it but trust in our God! 'Don't count your money...read it!' As ministries, churches and their members rediscovered that God was their source, they were freed as the chains and locks began to melt in the presence of the Lord!
SOME OFFERINGS HAD TO BE STOPPED...."WE HAVE ENOUGH MONEY WITH LEFTOVERS!"
A fresh oil of giving flowed upon God's people as they became thankful. I saw a key turning in the vault of the bank in heaven and finances from this bank began filling wallets, purses, ministries, and churches with whatever they needed. Money that was not minted by man was at times discovered! Some offerings given were going over the top and some pastors began declaring, "We have enough money, with leftovers!
Thanksgiving seemed to reverse and chase away the spirit of poverty, recession and every kind of depression known to man. Not only physical, but spiritual, emotional, mental and yes, our needs were still being met according to His riches in glory!
12 PROPHECY: / Daily Prophecy Corner / TENTS by Dave Hood 11/23 on: November 23, 2008, 04:12:39 PM
TENTS
Dave Hood chabod5652@yahoo.co.uk
11/22/2008
Many years ago, regarding Israel, I was shown a large number of tents, each flying its pennant. They were tents of Israel. Atop these tents I saw lying down, upon them the Lion of Judah, with His two great front paws stretched in front of Him, pointing outwards towards Israel’s enemy.
The love he has for Israel, he also has for Us, His people, His Church.
As the Spirit of the Lord came upon me today, I was reminded of a title of an article, I had not read, it was … I want to Tabernacle with you.
This is what he shared with me. I saw the Lion of Judah, sitting atop his people, on their front line. Tabernacling with them, atop them, atop their tents. Not pressing down and crushing them, but caressing them with the sense of His Presence.
Not us dwelling in the Tents of Kedar … but us allowing Him to dwell with us and IN us.
His presence is our defence … our defense is the offense of his love. A love that provokes those both near and far. Either creating a longing, a yearning or a rift.
Be captured by “such a One”. Be taken prisoner, not in shackles but be held, secured in “bonds of love”. His capture is our release. He went on to say …
… “ Come O nations, don’t put your head in a noose (a hangman’s noose was shown me) to lose your head … to stop your life, but let me apply MY noose, my tourniquet, that stops your life ( here I saw blood pouring out of a severed wound) its blood, haemorrhaging from your wound. Spill not your life for yourself, or for or on behalf of man, but let it pour out from ME. Transfusing, releasing now with all its merits. The eternal flow that IS and is to BE continued from me. A never ending source … for the river of the source (the blood, the life) is poured out from me.
… (He now spoke to me of the woman with a small amount of oil and flour in the OT) … As the woman brought all that she had, all that would soon end, finally used … so to is My Own Fullness available and accessible to thee. Come with your emptiness, your meagreness and poverty, bring what you have, little though it is and receive in faith your plenty from me.
… have I not said, I prepare for you a table, in the MIDST of your enemies*. As you are in your body, so is it like your enemy, constantly at war and in conflict with Me. * Israel surrounded by her enemies, our flesh surrounding our selves in Him, our body, the Church in the world. Come and I will tame it and tie you to me. Strapped and carried your sin and your weakness bourn by me. ( here I saw a small child being carried on the back of a man, on like a wooden frame, which held the child on this persons back, facing forward, the same way as the carrier.) He continued … for this is how I want you to be, tied, moulded, melded, welded to Me and I to thee.
I was then shown the 4 horns of the altar, its 4 corners. He said … I spread-eagled My son … I saw Jesus tied hands and feet to the four corners of the altar, to the 4 horns of it, horns symbolise strength… I spread-eagled him like tying one to 4 horses, so that you could come to me, and to remain and to stay whole in Me. As My son was torn limb from limb, separated, it was so that you and I may birth and begin. (here he showed me the outline, yet to be discovered of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse – their individual forces, tearing, pulling apart, limb by limb, His people and also likened to the 4 natures, nature of man…Young's Literal Translation
And four faces are to each; the face of the one is the face of the cherub, and the face of the second the face of man, and of the third the face of a lion, and of the fourth the face of an eagle.) … his call here is to Israel now, to the church now, to me now and to you now .. each of these including the world itself can only overcome their limitations and place through HIM. He went on to say …
… Inhabit me as I inhabit thee, indwelling My dwelling, my courts of praise and canopy of heaven, in my tents set in the ground, my field that is upon My Rock.. No wind here can displace or display its might. No force can lift you by its heights…
… for I Am your bed
… and I Am your floor
… I Am your wall
… and I Am your Door
… I Am your height
… and I Am your rest
…I Am your covering
…On you do I nest
… back to the widow and her vessel
… once she used what she had, she did not have ANYTHING, by which she could CONTINUE. From there it was ALL downhill, it was freefall without end.
… 1Ki 17:12 And she said, [As] the LORD thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I [am] gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die.
You see there is something beyond the little that we have left ...there is still our PLAN ... that we may lay down and die .... give what is beyond your resources ...give the plan .... that can save one from ...continuing with a sick heart ... hope defered makes one heart sick ... when he has come to give life and life in abundance.
… He impressed to me … he has got your emptiness, loss and disaster; exchange THIS TRUTH for your LIE. He is your glory. Christ IN you, the hope of glory. Here He is IN place, in NO place. Your NO place is HIS GRAVE place. Your GRAVE place is your GRACE place… In the place where you thought you were alone, I was there, I Am there…
… exchange the/that/those place(s) and the/that/those time(s) of the LIE(s) for MY GLORY.
We are experiencing our own kind of trial and tribulation in our own selves, our own bodies, his Spirit in us, seemingly entombed in our flesh. The Church in the world, is experiencing the same tribulation and trial amongst it self and amongst the flesh of the world. So too, is Israel, its own body experiencing tribulation within the body of the world.
But he gave me ... gives NOW a promise, to us individually, to us a body of believers the Church, to Israel who bear the signs of His identity amidst the turmoil of the world. This is trial and tribulation within our flesh, but the great tribulation is yet to come. But he says to us amidst it all … hear the hope for yourselves as you follow the words to the widow ...
…1Ki 17:13 And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go [and] do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring [it] unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son.
1Ki 17:14 For thus saith the LORD God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day [that] the LORD sendeth rain upon the earth.
Make the lord FIRST your little cake there from what you have… he will not fail you, nor will he neither fail HIS little Israel. I sense to say … for it shall be as in the days of Israel, captured and placed by Dagon, that little Israel, My precious little Ark, shall still stand and stand still and stand tall, next Dagon … who shall neither stand nor sit, but shall surely fall.
…seek the bringing of the little, the LAST of all that you have to God, the remains of yourself to Him, the very beginnings of Him and make and offer to HIM, FIRST and FOREMOST, the little that is your loaf … and the meal shall NOT waste, NEITHER shall the cruse of oil fail. Your loaf and your life, your flour and your oil, the very beginnings and constituents that is and is me, your flour and oil, whatsoever that is of thee is of me … bring me your base ingredients for it is both oil and flour that I form thee with, the work and kneading of my hands, you are MY (Gods) loaf, you are My (Gods) field, grown there IN THE GROUND the place of my sustaining grace … and with your flour have I mixed my oil … in both right measure and right consistency, my measures and my meal for the world and for me, for you also are my bread … of you I taste and eat and am sustained, of you am I nourished and fed, of you am my whole being and system fed, worked and processed, of you am I truly enriched and built up like food to my cells and hope and joy to my very bones and marrow … my milk and my honey, the flow through the land.
Little Israel (and me, and you and the church, the body of believers) you are my own and you are my joy, you are my prize all heaven and all heart of me, do I employ, I waste not, nor sleep not, I slumber not am awake to your every crie, your every moan, your every need and call. Your lowing and your bleating, your fear and your joy, you limited strength you seek to employ.
Come to me at the place of your death, come to me with the entrapment of your tomb, bring me the place and the taste of your death … and if you will believe … BELIEVE, have faith in ME, not yourself, but have faith in ME, in the knowledge and truth of my LOVE and STRENGTH and will for thee, and I will set you free, I will bring you up, I will call you to me and I will raise you up at the very place of entombment … I will resurrect you and I, I, I myself will set you free.
Jhn 11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
Jhn 11:41 Then they took away the stone [from the place] where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up [his] eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.
Jhn 11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said [it], that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
Jhn 11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
Jhn 11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.
O Lord, I believe Me, set me free, let my body, your church, little Israel and all that is not of thee, be freed, so that I/we go and follow thee… bring me forth and from my tomb and graveclothes, set me free... cause not your oil and grain to waste and fail ... till you once again ... send forth your rain.

Verily, verily I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. John 14:12
You have desired to see the greater works and have not yet seen the healings and deliverance you so desire to see. I say to you, the former works have not yet taken place but the day is coming, says the Lord when you will see Me manifest in you and Christ will be formed in you. The days are coming when blind men shall see, even in the western nations and the times of great trial will turn My bride from a complacent one to one that is on fire, fervent and going about her Father's business.
Pray for the body of Christ to move from complacency, to action, to maturity. These days of great testing and trial will bring forth Christ in you and you will see those things that you have longed to see.
Contnue to believe Me and you will see the glory of God manifest in you and those of like precious faith who will be used to fight this end time battle.
Phamel
(An Alert Against Complacency)
Many are being bombarded by a constant stream of influence from the enemy, but what are they doing about it? Instead of casting down vain imaginations that have infiltrated their minds, they are giving into every wind of doctrine! This is the time to rise up, and be strong, and use this time wisely in preparing for what is ahead for the true church knows that there isn't much time left. The catching away of the saints is at hand, but much needs to be done.
The church is not where it needs to be. According to My timetable, she should be at the place where she has had ample opportunity to prepare. Prayer and fasting has not been done like it should have been. Too much time has been spent with concerns of personal finance and plans that have nothing to do with My kingdom. I said that if you put Me first and My righteousness all these things will be added unto you. Instead of pressing in for My kingdom to come and My will being done, energy has been spent on personal needs and desires and will.
Rise up and be strong. Wake up to the seriousness of the hour before it is too late. You should have been much farther down the road in the race of time. So much more wisdom and knowledge stored up under your belt and the much needed discernment to be able to stand against the wiles of the enemy, and that only comes from fasting from those things that deprive you of My Spirit and spending the quality time before Me seeking My face. Yes, this is the time and the hour to wake up and be strong in Me. Put up your shield of faith and use your sword against the lies of the enemy. Cover your mind with the blood of My Son and cast down the vain imaginations.
Pray for those in authority. Yes, those in leadership instead of mocking them. Yes, you must respect the office that they fill, and pray that they would live a godly life and live by My standards in governing. Please before it is too late spend this time wisely. Get before Me early before you jump into your daily affairs and seek Me for wisdom and My great grace to carry you through. Don't try to make it on your own depending on your own strength. You need My light and truth to pierce the darkness to clear the way in which you are to walk.
This is a new day, a new hour, old things have passed away. Wash yourself with My blood. Cleanse yourself with My word where you are not lining up. Yes, purge yourself with hyssop and make yourself clean. You will once again run. Keep soaking in the Son. Yes, you will dance and rejoice! If I am for you, who can be against you for I see you perfect in Me. There is no condemnation for those who hide themselves in My love which is long lasting and eternal.
So pick yourself up and brush yourself off and come under My warm embrace. If you draw close to Me, I will draw close to you, and be everything that you need Me to be to you. I love you, My bride, but you must be ready!!

I had the impression today,watching and praying about the fires, that that’s what God is doing inside of our hearts, burning off the chaff, our idols, etc.
[ When winds are NOT a problem, the firemen will light a back fire to burn off the brush so that a fire will not keep going , to prevent further devastation. It is a foolish thing to do with winds whipping around, but when the winds died down more today they were able to do it, and as I watched, I heard the Lord speak the above . ]
“ I want you to fight fire with fire ! Light a fire in your neighborhood ! [spiritually] Light a fire in your workplace, in your school, college, in a park, at the post office, at the coffee shop…!! Light a fire that draws My attention and My glory and I will fight FOR you !
The enemy has put many on restriction through affliction and torment, through complacency, apathy and a slumbering spirit. But I will AWAKEN the hearts that belong to Me !
Sing to Me in the open and I WILL FIGHT FOR YOU in the open. Pray to me without fear ! Pray for others without fear of retaliation and I will retaliate against the enemy who tries to touch My own !
I am the All Consuming Fire and My fire will burn the dross and burn up the plans of the enemy. I AM the Almighty. When you are weak, then I AM strong FOR YOU ! I WILL FIGHT for you when you have no strength. I will fight with you if you have a little strength – I will even resuscitate you in the battle.
I will soon give you new weapons to fight with and strengthen the old ones. There will be an everlasting supply of what you need for the work I have called you to.
All the wisdom you need is IN ME. And if you stay IN ME, it is available to you.

So, if you fall off the horse, just get back up/repent, dust yourself off and ride with Jesus! Don't forget to take out all the emotional, mental and physical garbage......
'the pure in heart will see God' and only place to hide is in the Holy of Holies....

November 24, 2008. Songs of the Lord. You have been hearing songs of praise in your head for some time now. May it be known that as you entertain these songs you are actually singing with Me as I sing over you My songs. I know of your great desire to know Me in the deepest reaches of your being. Not only to know Me but to forget yourself and live My life through you in total surrender. I say unto you this is a good thing, actually a promotion for your status with Me. No one else can love Me the way you do. You bring such utter delight to Me. Keep singing and singing and singing. Exquisite unity is now possible as you have never experienced it. Watch and see. Songs of the Lord.
Philippians 3:9-10 “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith: That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death.” Ras Robinson*
November 24, 2008. You do not realize what a blessing you are, and what good decisions you make. Because of your work ethic, you just keep on doing the right thing. It doesn’t make any difference whether you are recognized or not, but it is appreciated when it comes. You don’t do things for recognition, but do them because they are yours to do. For that reason you are getting ready to be publically recognized. You have trusted and obeyed Me in the small things, and now you will be elevated to greater responsibility. You are up to the task because of the things you have overcome in past positions. Your humility blesses Me.
Matthew 25:20-21 The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying, 'Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have gained five more talents.’ 21"His master said to him, 'Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.” Bev Robinson**
