These days it seems Latter-day Saints talk about the importance of temple attendance in almost every meeting and lesson. It makes sense: in 2001, then-Elder Russell M. Nelson explained, “Every activity, every lesson, all we do in the Church, point to the Lord and His Holy house.” But might this relentless focus on a thing not all members participate in work as a separator in our congregations, communities, and relationships? In Episode 216, Susan and Cynthia return to the topic of the temple for a fourth time. It's a discussion that touches on everything from recommends to what Jesus shows and tells us about it in the Bible. Spoiler: It's complicated.
CD 1704 Position - Purpose - Power(March 2, 2025 P.M. Service)As we touched on lightly this morning, In this life that has been given to us by our Creator the Lord God Almighty we have a vacuum on the inside of us. We were created with that vacuum in order that we would hunger and desire for something greater than ourselves. If we do not seek the Lord, then the devil will come and fill that vacuum. You cannot stay neutral, you will either be full of the Lord or full of the devil. We will talk more about this vacuum in a future service.This evening we're going to learn about our position in Christ which reveals our purpose in Christ and helps us to receive the power from Christ to live his life through us! *Text: 2 Timothy 1:1-10 (KJV) Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus, 2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.3 I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day; 4 Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy; 5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. 6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God; 9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began, 10 But is now made manifest by the appearing of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who hath abolished death, and hath brought life and immortality to light through the gospel:Praise God He as our Father has given us His Grace through Jesus Christ from the foundation of this earth age! He saves us and calls us into His Holy calling, all by His grace! Speaking of salvation “position”:#1 Position*Read Luke 15:24 (KJV) For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found. And they began to be merry.*Read Ephesians 2:8 (KJV) For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Now see verse 6:*Read Ephesians 2:6 (KJV) And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:Where is Jesus seated?*Read Colossians 3:1-3 (KJV) Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.We are seated on the right hand of power in Christ Jesus. So our “position” is not in question, rather our “position” is absolute in Christ Jesus! When we understand where we're living and operating from then it brings us to our second point our “purpose”:#2 PurposeSo I have a “purpose”? You mean there is more to this life than just getting by?How can I find my “purpose”?*Read Psalm 119:105 (KJV) Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.Support the show
The LORD God has charged the bloody city Jerusalem with idolatry, murder, overreach of power, dishonoring their parents, and oppression of the strangers, the fatherless and the widows. Now He charges her of despising His Holy things and profaning His sabbaths.
From the example of the people in Jerusalem in Nehemiah 9, we discover that the best response to God’s character as seen in the Bible is to be humbly contrite as we adjust to His Holy standard. The post Responding to the Character of God (Nehemiah 9) appeared first on PLEASANT HILL COMMUNITY CHURCH.
Psalm 47:8 says God reigns over the nations, God sits on His holy throne. Throughout the whole of Psalm 47 we are called on to praise God and realize how great He is. We are to willingly submit to His authority and understand He is an awesome great King and will subdue all under His feet one day as He is doing to some at this time. He will give us an inheritance that He has chosen for us and we should sing praises to Him and Glorify our King because He is ruling and reigning over all creation and sits on His Holy throne. He is to be highly exalted. Let us remember each day who He is and that in spite of how things look at times He still reigns and sits on the throne and will ultimately make all wrongs right because He is Holy and Just. Amen! Mark 8:36 "For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? John 14:6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. Have you trusted Him as your Savior? He can Save you if You ask Him based on His death, burial, and resurrection for your sins. Believe in Him for forgiveness of your sins today. “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” -John 8:32 Our mission is to spread the gospel and to go to the least of these with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ; We reach out to those the World has forgotten. hisloveministries.podbean.com #HLMSocial hisloveministries.net https://www.instagram.com/hisloveministries1/?hl=en His Love Ministries on Itunes Don't go for all the gusto you can get, go for all the God (Jesus Christ) you can get.

"Don't Worry! Worship the Lord". Why is everyone so anxious today? Jesus said "Do not be anxious in Matthew 6:25. So many believe in God, believe in His greatness, believe in the Bible, but they don't TRUST GOD with all things in your life! Stop worrying by focusing on God and Worshiping Him! He is all powerful, He is all knowing, He is all present and He wants you to be at peace and trust Him! As we take our eyes off all the problems of the world and start worshiping His Holy name, His presence and Peace will abound in you! The bible says in Isaiah 26:3 He whose mind is steadfast on the Lord shall stay in perfect peace! Let's Praise His Holy name and WORSHIP the LORD! Please give us a 5-star review and share this program with others!
As we keep God's commandments, He will elevate us in praise, name and honor, so that we may be His Holy people. It doesn't just involve commitments we make to God, but also commitments God makes to us.
The pages of scripture are full of promises for the life of every believer to be filled with divine power. We have studied many of these so far in this series, “Is there more?”But is there one overarching principle or promise that we can look to? Does God have a singular, “ultimate” purpose concerning us? If so, how does it relate to the topic of power? In this message, William takes a deep dive into the source of greater power in our lives. From the Book of Ephesians, William extracts the principles and postures necessary to unlock and unleash the limitless power God has promised to us as His Holy people. The question is “Where does the greatest power come from?” The answer may surprise you.
Ask Your Evangelism Question Now!Show Notes:Should we talk about hell with an unbeliever? Let's always answer questions with the Bible as much as possible. – John 16:7-11 Jesus, on the night He was betrayed told His disciples about the coming ministry of the Holy Spirit, whom He called the Helper, or some translations that Comforter. John 16:7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send him to you. v. 8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: v. 9 concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; v. 10 concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; v. 11 concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged. –Jesus said that one of the 3 main subjects that the Holy Spirit was in the world to convince the world about was coming judgment. –Jesus talked about Hell far more than He talked about Heaven. –We only have one conclusion we can draw as to why He did that – Hell is real and Jesus didn't want people to go there. I take great comfort out of the Bible Truth that God is Holy – He only, always does the right thing. He has to, He is Holy, Perfect. He cannot do wrong. – While the truth that His holiness causes separation between us and God is a painful realization to most people, there is a bit of comfort found in that truth as well. –The distance between me and God isn't caused by lack of desire or love on His part. It's caused by my sin and His Holy nature. My sin separates me from Him. The Bible Truth of God's Just Nature is also eye opening for most people. – 1st lets define Justice – God doesn't play favorites. Some of us think of God as a doting Grandfather. Maybe we imagine him patting us on the head and say, I know you've sinned, but I know you've done the best you can so I'm going to let you into heaven anyway. That's not the way the Bible describes what is going to happen. –Justice – God must Judge everyone by the same standard. He is a perfectly just judge! –What is the standard He uses to deal with us – The wages of sin is death Romans 6:23 –What does that look like, because even people going to heaven die physically. –We'll look at that in just a minute, but let's 1st take a look at a picture of God's Judgment. Matthew 25:41 Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.' I like to say this is a good news / bad news verse The Good News is that God doesn't want humans to go to into this eternal fire. He prepared it for the devil and his angels. God is “not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.” 2Pet 3:9 The bad news is that some people – Here it is those on His left – have to go to this place of eternal fire. I love to look at my friend and say, “Bill, if I were you, I'd want to know who those people are.” –In the last book of the Bible God giSupport the showSubscribe to our podcast today! More Tools:

Today we are celebrating Easter Sunday. This is a holiday that most of the western world has celebrated for centuries. However, for most people the day is simply another holiday, it has no real meaning other than the Easter bunny, egg hunts, and candy for the kids. To some, it is a time to go to church for a religious ceremony of some type. Many of us have memories of attending Easter services in crowded churches, with everyone dressed in new Easter, Sunday-go-to-meeting, clothes. The women were dressed in hats and gloves, and the men in suits and ties. The church was crowded with people attending for the one and only time all year that they came to church. Yet, if you were to ask most of them why they came, why the day was important, many of them could not tell you. Why is Easter Sunday an important holiday to celebrate? It is because on Easter, we are celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus. If you are a believer, if Jesus Christ is your Lord and Master, then Easter should be every bit as important to you as the celebration of the birth of our Savior on Christmas. The resurrection of Jesus Christ means that we have A master to confess. It provides us with a living Jesus Christ sitting on the right hand of God the Father. He is sitting because He has accomplished all that God has asked Him to do. It also means that we have A message to convey. The resurrection of Jesus Christ provides us with a message to tell others About Eternal life. About Power over sin in our lives. About The hand of the One who will bring us into the presence of God when we enter Heaven's Gate. Where we can stand clothed in the robe of righteousness purchased with His Holy blood. Christ wields absolute authority and power in Heaven and on Earth. Angels and Cherubim of heaven, and Principalities and rulers of this world's darkness, wicked spirits, demons, and Satan himself are held in check by the power and authority of our Lord Jesus Christ. No kingdom, empire, or nation exists outside of the Lord's permissive will. The message of the resurrection is that Jesus is on the throne, wielding all power and authority on earth as in heaven. This is the message we are to convey. It also means that we have A mandate to complete. Jesus has commanded us to go out into the world and preach the gospel of His death, burial, and resurrection, baptizing them in the name of the Lord. Praise God that Jesus was willing to be obedient to God's will, and Praise God that from the foundations of time, the triune God has had our salvation in mind. God sent His Son that we might have everlasting life, and the power of God raised Him from the grave so that we might walk as a new creation in the newness of life. Click on the link below to hear a message on why this Easter holiday is so important to us as believers. Jesus Christ is alive, and we are going to be with Him for all of eternity. This is a live recording of The Master's Class Bible Study at LifeChange Church Wichita, KS. Amen.
In the climactic episode of our 'Insurgence' series, we start by delving into the book of John Chapter 16, meticulously studying verses 25 to 27. The discussion illuminates the profound framework that Jesus set for our faith, emphasizing the transformative power of a direct dialogue with God, owing to our faith in Christ. Reminding believers that Christianity transcends rituals and behaviors, the core message reiterates the essence of surrendering self to Christ and receiving His Spirit as the true marker of Christian identity. Over the course of this series, we fervently explored the insightful book 'Insurgence: Reclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom', extracting profound wisdom it encompasses. The author inherently echoes God's prophetic voice, resonating with our spiritual journey. This series inspires introspection and motivates believers to welcome God's Spirit more fully, experiencing a joy beyond words that comes from complete surrender to Christ. The stimulating dialogue further extrapolates on the essence of being Christ's embodiment and living out His spirit within us. A compelling metaphor of Christians as radical 'insurgents', challenging societal norms and conventions, is drawn. This perspective urges believers to express their faith audaciously. Emphasizing on the transformative power of biblical adherence, Pastor Dan fosters a shift in believers' consciousness, inspiring them to create a tremor of positive influence. Pearls and oysters serve as metaphors for the grace and extraordinary love radiated by Christians who dare to be societal irritants. The series concludes with a call towards realigning to apostolic traditions; embracing the principles established by those deeply transformed by Christ. Stressing the necessity of constant renewal, believers are encouraged to view change as a promise of spiritual growth. The session culminates with a prayer, seeking wisdom for the discernment of God's teachings to lead a life glorifying His Holy name.
Welcome to Faith Church Online! "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil." God will never act contrary to His HOLY nature; He will never go against His DESIRE for us to be holy as He is holy. We may go through a lot, but when Christ is with us, we are never alone in what we go through!We hope this serves you well!
This episode shares with the listeners the whole duty of mankind. " Bless ( gratefully praise the Lord, O my soul and all that is deepest within me, bless His Holy name!

On This Week at Charlestown Road, Jason and Roger revisit Sunday morning's sermon, Living in the Light of His Holy & Awesome Name, digging deeper into the names of God in the Old Testament and how they teach us to “bring the best.”
This is the last day in 2023! How great that God has brought us through this year and is gearing you up for a new year and a new season. As we embark on this new journey into a new year we cannot do it on our own and in our flesh, we have to move forward in the Spirit of God, by living in the Power of God, for the Glory of God. This message is going to challenge you to not live in the mode of the flesh that is prone to sin, but through the mode of God that brings us His Holy living, and joy of eternal life with Jesus.
The Faith Path In Action (audio) David Eells – 12/20/23 Christ Manifest In Us David Eells Examine the related verses and you will see how Jesus is coming in this body. Christ will manifest His life and ministry in us. (2 Th. 1:10-12) when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day. (We are still coming out of the dark ages but God will reveal the greater works in our day.) (11) To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfil every desire of goodness and [every] work of faith, with power; (12) that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Cor. 3:18) But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit. (Col. 3:4) When Christ, [who is] our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory. (Gal. 4:19) My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you. (Col. 1:27,28) to whom God was pleased to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: (28) whom we proclaim, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ; (2 Cor. 4:10,11) always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body. (11) For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. (Eph. 3:14-19) For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father, (15) from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, (16) that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man; (17) that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; to the end that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, (18) may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, (19) and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God. (Eph. 4:11-15) And he gave some [to be] apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; (12) for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ: (13) till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: (14) that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error; (15) but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, [even] Christ; Maturity is having Christ manifest in you. 1 Jn 2:28 says "And now my little children, abide in him; that if he shall be manifested (the three most ancient manuscripts of the New Testament, the Nestles text, the A.S.V., the R.V., and the Numeric New Testament agree to this translation) if he shall be manifested we may have boldness, and not be ashamed before him at his coming." This means that "If he shall be manifested" in us, we won't be ashamed when we see him. 1 Jn 3:2 says "Beloved now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, (Again this means manifested in us 2 Cor 4:10,11) (the three most ancient manuscripts of the New Testament, the Nestles text, the Received Text, the A.S.V., the R.V., and the Numeric New Testament agree on this translation) we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is". Notice that we must see the real Jesus to be like Him. The apostates Jesus is nothing like Him and so they do not walk as He walked. 2Co 3:18 ASV But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit. This shows us that if we “see him as he is” in the mirror (by faith) then we will manifest his glory. According to quantum physics or mechanics we must see what we want and believe we have received it to have it. Christ exchanged his life for ours at the cross. (Col. 1:22,23) yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him: (23) if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, which was preached in all creation under heaven;) That's why we must see him in the mirror by faith in order to manifest him. (Gal. 2:20) I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. This kind of faith is accounted as righteousness until righteousness is manifested in bearing fruit. He who sees his “natural face in the mirror” will be a hearer but not a doer because they will not have power to obey (James 1:23). (Col. 3:4) When Christ, [who is] our life, shall be manifested (in us-same as above), then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory. Now notice the life of Christ is his glory and it is manifested in our “mortal flesh” (2 Cor 4:11) For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. Notice: mortal flesh on the earth, not glorified bodies. The false prophet has told us that we have to settle for being forgiven sinners in this life instead of overcoming sons of God. For many deceivers are gone forth into the world, [even] they that confess not that Jesus Christ cometh in the flesh. (This means in the true believer's flesh.) (2 Jn 7). Note: "is come" or "has come in the flesh" has no foundation in the ancient manuscripts, the Received Text or the Nestles Text or Numerics. Paul prayed in Epe 3:18,19 that they "may be strong to apprehend (not comprehend- The ancient manuscripts, Received Text and Nestles Text and Numerics agree) ...the breadth and length and height and depth ...of Christ ...and be filled unto all the fullness of God". According to Paul in Eph. 4:11-15 the five-fold ministry is "for the perfecting of the saints...unto a full-grown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ". Through faith in the promises we "cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God" (2 Cor 7:1). (2 Th. 1:10-12) when he shall come to be glorified in his saints, and to be marvelled at in all them that believed (because our testimony unto you was believed) in that day. (11) To which end we also pray always for you, that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfil every desire of goodness and [every] work of faith, with power; (12) that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Be diligent in this faith beloved, till He comes and you will bear the fruit of His works and have great reward. Most of you know but I want to briefly explain that Manifest in these texts means to appear in the physical realm. When we come to Christ we accept all of His benefit by faith (faith is the substance of the thing hoped for while the evidence is unseen) until the sacrifice is manifest in our lives as fruit. According to the parable of the sower, the seed is sown in the heart but only one out of the four is good ground and brings forth fruit 30, 60, 100 fold. The fruit here is Christ, not other souls. The fruit of the Spirit. He is the “seed” (sperma = Greek) of the word and each seed brings forth after its own kind; not another Jesus. (Rom. 8:24,25) For in hope (Greek = a firm expectation) were we saved. But hope that is seen is not hope: for who hopeth for that which he seeth? (25) But if we hope for that which we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. In other words we wait for the full manifesting of our salvation. When we come to Christ, we receive a new spirit but our soul, our mind, will, and emotions, needs transforming. (Rom. 12:2) And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. By faith we say with Paul (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. As we make this confession of our faith, it will be continually manifested in us for we are justified by faith. The Holy Spirit gives power to those who believe. If we don't repent and believe the word, we cannot have what it says. As long as we are walking by faith in the word, we are acceptable to God for "faith is accounted as righteousness". Jesus told his disciples in (Luk 6:40) The disciple is not above his teacher but every one when he is perfected shall be as his teacher. Christ wants to live and be seen or manifested in us. As we repent, when we see the word we permit this to happen. We give good ground to the seed and bear His fruit. (Lk 9:23,24) And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. (24) For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it. (2 Pet.1:19) And we have the word of prophecy made more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts. This is the manifested glory. (2 Pet 1:9-11) For he that lacketh these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having forgotten the cleansing from his old sins. (10) Wherefore, brethren, give the more diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things ye shall never stumble: (11) For thus shall be richly supplied unto you the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. (Jas.1:23) For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror. If we don't see Jesus in the mirror, then that is not faith and we will not be a doer of the word. A doer of the word is manifesting Christ. I received this objection to my letter "Christ In You" from a brother. I am using the word perfection as the Greek word implies, to be mature, or fullgrown. Here is an apostates objection: Dave, Are you suggesting that the Word teaches perfection can be attained in this life? your quote: "perfecting holiness in the fear of God" (2 Cor 7:1). would seem to indicate strongly that it is an ongoing process (known in Scripture as Sanctification) not accomplished in this life. Paul said, "...not as if I had already attained "... - Paul continues that he is still pursuing that higher life which is found in Christ who is "in us". I John says that if we say we sin not we lie. We must be careful to differentiate between the goal we strive for (as close to the life of Jesus as possible) and claiming sinless perfection. Try as you may and believe as much as you wish does not erase the "old man" we must constantly fight against. That fight is by faith, of course, in Christ. Here is my answer: I hope you will read this carefully because as you can see it is the Word of God. We can't reject any scripture and still say we have the truth. We cannot pick the verses we like in order to justify our religion. "The sum of thy words is truth". The whole verse says this: Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. (2 Cor. 7:1) All we have to do is believe what it says without invoking the curse for adding to the word. We are commanded here to use the word of God to separate from worldly thinking and actions. Look at what the following scriptures say: (1 Th 4:3-8) For this is the will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication; (4) that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, (5) not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God; (6) that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified. (7) For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification. (8) Therefore he that rejecteth, rejecteth not man, but God, who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you. How can sanctification not be attainable in this life when scriptures says, (Heb. 12:14,15) Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord: (15) looking carefully lest [there be] any man that falleth short of the grace of God. Holiness and sanctification are the same Greek word. A person who does not believe it is attainable cannot receive it because we receive it by faith. (2 Cor. 4:11) For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. (Eph.3:18-20) ....may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, (in other words all of Christ ) (19) and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fullness of God. (20) Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, (Eph. 4:12) for the perfecting of the saints, unto the work of ministering, unto the building up of the body of Christ: (13) till we all attain unto the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a fullgrown man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: (14) that we may be no longer children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, in craftiness, after the wiles of error; (15) but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, [even] Christ; (Col. 1:22,23) yet now hath he reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and without blemish and unreproveable before him: (23) if so be that ye continue in the faith, grounded and stedfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel which ye heard, (1 Cor. 15:1,2) Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand, (2) by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain. We are justified by faith in the sanctification given us at the cross and that faith continually brings us into manifest sanctification. Faith is accounted as righteousness until righteousness is manifested in us. In this way a person can continue under the grace of God as he bears fruit. Faith is the "victory that overcomes the world" (1 Jn 5:4). Faith is "calling the things that are not as though they were" (Rom. 4:17), until they come to pass. We must be "seeing that His divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness... whereby He hath granted unto us His precious and exceeding great promises that through these you may become partakers of the divine nature having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust" (2 Pet 1:34). Christ made you "free from sin" (Rom. 6:18,22) so why should you "live any longer therein?" (verse 22) for you were "delivered out of the power of darkness" (Colossians 1:13) so "reckon yourselves to be dead unto sin but alive unto God" and "let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body that you should obey the lusts thereof "(Rom. 6:11,12). "If you live after the flesh, you must die: but if by the Spirit (God's power) you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God" (Rom. 8:13,14). Believe God's promises and escape the lusts of the flesh. "Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God (2Cor. 7:1). (1 Jo.2:1-6) My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: (2) and he is the propitiation for our sins; and not for ours only, but also for the whole world. (3) And hereby we know that we know him. If we keep his commandments. (4) He that saith. I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar. and the truth is not in him: (5) but whoso keepeth his word, in him verily hath the love of God been perfected. Hereby we know that we are in him: (6) he that saith he abideth in him ought himself also to walk even as he walked. The religions of this day have turned the grace of God into lasciviousness, which is a license to do what you want to do. As we can see from the above verses grace delivers from sin, not just covers it up. The blood covers our ignorance until we see the light. (Jas 4:17) To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. (Heb. 10:26) For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins, (27) but a certain fearful expectation of judgment, and a fierceness of fire which shall devour the adversaries. Some sins are done in ignorance and are therefore not willful. These are covered by the Blood. For the other sins we will obviously get chastening until we hopefully repent. (Rom.5:13)... for until the law sin was in the world; but sin is not imputed when there is no law. You may have sinned a sin of ignorance (not knowing the law) but under Grace, God does not reckon it as sin. That is why we cannot say, "we have no sin",(1 Jo 1:8) We are ignorant of many things that are against His perfect will. When we get light, then we are responsible. When does the Blood not just cover, but wash away the very nature of sin? (1 Jo 1:5-7) And this is the message which we have heard from him and announce unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. (6) if we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie. and do not the truth: (7) but if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. This is why the Gospel is the good news. Now we don't have to be content with forgiveness because Jesus is "the Lamb of God that taketh away, not just covers up the sins of the world". Many of God's people are still living with Old Testament benefits because they don't believe the Gospel. I hope this answer will benefit you in your walk with Christ. One With Jesus Anonymous 06/22/23 (David's notes in red) (Last night I tried going to sleep but God wouldn't let me until I wrote this down, and I asked God if He really wants me to write it down to have some dogs bark, which I don't hear often, and as soon as I thought this in my mind, multiple dogs started barking. After I wrote it down on my phone, I instantly fell asleep PRAISE GOD! When I had this experience, everything I wrote I felt and saw as if it had fully manifested, and it was so real and alive and true and I DESIRE, that I could have stayed in this experience. It was maybe like 10-30 seconds of seeing and feeling all of this, and it was so real and I am so excited for us all to have this connection with God every moment, no matter what is going on, and to have His Holy connection with each other and being one together, without spot or blemish.) I was praying in tongues, and I saw that very soon we are all going to be so connected to God (we already are by faith but it will physically manifest), that we hear His voice extremely clear every moment, and we know it is Him without doubt and unbelief. That we will constantly be speaking to Him back and forth, more than we speak to any human, when awake and asleep our soul will be communing with Him just as the Holy Spirit does. That the flesh will be so suppressed and submissive to the Holy Spirit, and we will be so in tune with God, we know and obey what He wants with extreme joy in every moment, without complaint and without the flesh trying to stop us. We will have such boldness to have Him speak through us, with no fear of man, or fear of rejection (these things that try to hinder us from being and living as Jesus won't even try to hinder us anymore.) That we will know 100% that He is in us, and all around us and we ARE one with Him. (Him literally here in this physical flesh and the flesh in agreement without hindrance.) That we would know and be, living and breathing His Word, not from our own works but in His strength. It will be from His Spirit and Grace in our soul in our flesh. Every second we will know it is His Grace and we will rest beyond understanding, because we are in Him and Him in us no matter what is going on around us. Our soul will be fully content with this and nothing can stop it and the flesh will submit. That we will know Jesus' authority in us over the enemy, and the enemy will flee with one word or thought, because it's just Jesus in us. No more struggling with the flesh, but just being in Him. That we can constantly freely praise and worship Him every moment with NO temptation to complain, murmur or doubt. That our soul is completely free to praise as the Holy Spirit does and free to worship God with our body, physically being submitted to doing ALL God wants. All of this while on earth, and in this physical body. Alive in Christ. I saw that the brethren will be in complete unity, because of Jesus in them, and the enemy won't be able to get in the way of this oneness in Christ. No jealousy, no pride, no rejection, no battles of the flesh; but pure Holy Love one to another, loving each other as we love our self, and serving each other as Christ serves. We will be one with no separation, no superiority, equal together in Christ. All different members, but all one body working together in unity, like the human body. So connected, it's as if we are reading each other's mind, and in agreement in our minds and souls and spirit, and the flesh is submitted. That everything flows perfectly because we all are constantly connected and in tune with God (and in tune with each other.) That our Faith is complete with God, that we have not even a tiny doubt, and we know that what we ask, we immediately receive because it's Christ in us. That what we command and speak into the physical, is immediately manifested, because Jesus in us is communing with Father every second. The enemy doesn't even try his normal tactics of unclean thoughts and feelings, because he knows we won't even accept or look at it. I knew that we will see and experience things we can't even imagine right now, but it is all for God's glory and it will be only Jesus in us. We can't do anything to make this happen, but have faith in His grace to do it through us for His Glory. EVERYTHING IS for Him! Now and forever! (My husband prayed about this and heard: “You are now in a new level of training. This is an exercise of the tests and application of My Word. Speak and hold to the miracles I have promised! Many are showing others who are younger in their walk to do this when in doubt or with little experience. See how one who prays and praises in faith, can move a miracle. Then others will try in their belief; suddenly the power will multiply and through many more people. It will spread and go beyond even the first person who prayed, leading by example. The effects go to areas and new heights where no one had even thought. It will go beyond the imagination or thoughts of impossibility. You (all) are My vessel. I will flow through you all as a Holy Army!” (I landed on: ‘testifying' in 1Th 2:11) Praise the Lord - Forever!
Being justified by faith is not by works but, by believing in Christ that He paid your sin debt for you to be saved. God has given us several gifts through His justification, salvation. Peace With God To make one with God again. Currently, people look to all kinds of medicines to keep them at peace with either themselves or others. They numb themselves against the conflicts of their surroundings. The world is searching for peace. John 14:27. If you live in the world then your search is always for some type of peace. When one lives lost the search goes out to worldly peace like drugs, sex, money, alcohol, and many more things. They are all short-lived and lead to destruction. Access To God One can't get peace without Grace. God welcomes all into His Holy place. There was a time when we all looked from the outside in. We tried reading the bible, talking to the preacher, talking to others who are saved, going through the motions, and yet we still lack salvation. Once God invites one in and one accepts His invitation then full access is given. In our world, we have restricted access to places. These places will only allow certain people into their places. Businesses often give access to their employees to their buildings. Without the key-cards to the businesses, one can't enter. A saved person has been given access to the very throne room to God. There is only one way to get to God and that is through His son, Jesus Christ. Hope In Christ If our hope in Christ was only in this world then we would be miserable. Sometimes we take our eyes off of God and then we have moments without peace and thus feel as if we've lost access to God. One of the grandest things that was given was peace and hope at the time of Christ's birth. If you don't have Christ, born again, then you don't have hope. If you put your faith in church, church attendance, reading a bible, working for a church, going to seminary school, etc then you'll end up in Hell at the time of your death. Trouble is all around us and we experience it all the time. However, we should be of good cheer because God has overcome the world.
We can get caught up as a church with the signs of the times which can pull us away from the work we have been called to do. Jesus instructs us to “be ready” for His 2nd coming, but being ready does not mean a ceasing to our ambassadorship of His Holy name.
Allow the Holy Spirit to take you to a deeper experience of worshiping God as an individual. Worship is first and foremost part of a personal, intimate relationship with the Lord. Using the Lord's Prayer as a foundation let's dive into His Holy presence.
God spoke to me clearly at the end of 2022 about His church moving past the seasons of Hope deferred ( Proverbs 13:12a ) and into living out the second part of this verse: BUT a longing/desire/dream fulfilled is a tree of life. That's why I'm hosting the Dream BIG with God Seminar on Saturday, November 4th. I invite you to join me and the rest of the amazing team I've pulled together. Amie Rogers is one of the speakers at the upcoming Dreaming with God Seminar. Amie has been on the podcast many times before, but today, we are talking about ALL things dreaming with God. Today we talk about the importance of dreaming BIG with God in this season and how to overcome the Dream Killers in your life and find the Dream Champions. We also talk about the importance of giving God your YES. But more than that, we discuss partnering with God to give Him our bold and brave YES. We need to partener with God beyond what we can think or imagine (Ephesians 3:20) and we need to be pulled out of our selfish motivations and into His Holy plans for our lives. We invite you to join us in this journey of Dreaming Big. Dream Big with God Seminar is Saturday, November 4, 20023, from 10 AM - 5 PM Eastern Time ~ LIVE ON ZOOM It's time to access and amplify the God-given dreams placed with you! David Jeremiah says, “God plants dreams in our hearts to fulfill His purpose on earth.” God has specific blueprints and plans for each one of us. But how do we access them? Psalm 37:4 says, “Delight yourself in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” ESV It's time to awaken to the dreams He has for your life and take a BIG step of faith to dream with God. Join me, my husband John, and 3 of my powerfully gifted friends, Robin Fields, Amie Rogers, Shelly Vargo, and Camille MIller as we help you embark on a journey of Dreaming BIG with God. Not only will we have teaching and activation exercises designed to help you dream BIG with God, but Shelly will lead us in a creative Exercise called: Vision Board Paint Session This is Not your traditional vision board. Using the modality of Art Therapy, this is an expressive painting journey to (re)ignite vision. You don't want to miss this power-packed One Day Seminar. Early Bird Registration is open now.

The guys summarize themes of God's activity (HIs Holy history) throughout Old Testament eras. The Old Testament does not stand by itself as a distinct God nor is it an ideal for New Testament Christians to strive towards, but rather a story of God leading us to the Messiah.

As we move on in our current series “Doctrines of Demons & The Great Falling Away,” so far, we have covered “Gay Theology” and “Universalism.” In this Podcast, we will embark on the next Doctrine of Demons on our list which is Satan's lie that “There Is No Hell.”We will combat this deadly falsehood primarily by looking to Lord Jesus, the Living Word, and what He had to say about Hell's reality, while He was preparing to go to the Cross to shed His Holy and Priceless Blood to insure that no man or woman would ever have to go there.We will also look to other portions of Holy Scripture to shine the Light of Truth upon this very important subject which holds within it the balance of eternity with the God of Love in Heaven, or in Hell's abyss with Satan and his militia of demons.This topic is critical; for God's Dispensation of Grace is quickly drawing to a close and man's choice of Life or death is being weighed against his eternal destiny as never before.Love's Last Call is beckoning – Let those who have ears to hear – Hear!Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

Get Ready! He's Coming Soon David Eells 6/28/23 (audio) A Great Shifting And Shaking Tianna Fire 6/21/23 (David's notes in red) In my dream, we had all been talking about and discussing the plagues and destruction coming up on the earth, but it seemed not yet, but far away. But suddenly within an hour, God tipped the entire earth upside down. There were earthquakes, tsunamis, cyclones all around the globe in places that they never thought could happen. All the influential places were now destroyed and devastated, and everything in the world as we know it stopped. Isa 13:13 Therefore I will make the heavens to tremble, and the earth shall be shaken out of its place, in the wrath of Jehovah of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger. Hag 2:6-7 For thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; 7 and I will shake all nations; and the precious things of all nations shall come; and I will fill this house with glory, saith Jehovah of hosts. (“Things” here is not in the original. Heb is the “desire” of all nations shall come. God's people in all nations are waiting for the coming of the Lord. And infilling of glory in His temple is Himself. And He is coming in the firstfruits temple of the Man-child.) Hag 2:20-23 And the word of Jehovah came the second time unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying, 21 Speak to Zerubbabel, (Representing the resurrected Man-child) governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth; 22 and I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms; and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother. (All those chasing the people of God to bring them into captivity, like the faction will be judged. The Red Sea of God's judgment is near. A faction in the faction.) 23 In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, will I take thee, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, saith Jehovah, and will make thee as a signet; for I have chosen thee, saith Jehovah of hosts. (A signet is a sign of authority like the ring of authority given to Man-child types, Mordecai, Joseph, and Zerubbabel.) Luk 21:11 and there shall be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there shall be terrors and great signs from heaven. Isa 64:1-3 ASV Oh that thou wouldest rend the heavens, that thou wouldest come down, that the mountains might quake at thy presence, 2 as when fire kindleth the brushwood, and the fire causeth the waters to boil; to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence! 3 When thou didst terrible things which we looked not for, thou camest down, the mountains quaked at thy presence. (Note to consider: You will notice that the Lord comes in the midst of earthquakes and our dreams show they are the worst, dividing the land. The Lord has said he is coming very quickly and Isaiah showed he will judge the Edomite faction first. We also have quite a few dreams that he will use the DS and their plague to kill the factious. So looking around I don't see these signs at the moment and I suspect it will not be on the 1st of July, but soon.) Isa 62:11 Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. Probably as a type and a warning to fear not the things to come Tianna had this experience for those who see this come.) Fear tried to jump on me, and I cast it straight off (get thee hence satan!) as I knew God is in control of this, even though I wasn't' expecting this would happen so suddenly. I knew I could only trust God and His Word and promises. I had to stay in His peace and joy, to be the light for everyone else around me. Because I knew the Truth of the Word, I had to stay strong in Christ for everyone else. (We are to be an example and ambassador for His Kingdom.) It was like the earth had been tipped on its side. (Planet X is reputed to take our south pole and pull it towards it when passing by. This would make opportunities for things and people to fall in cracks/holes all over the earth when the great earthquakes come around the world as it faces P-X.) It tipped over a giant pit, and many things quickly fell into the hole, but other things were slowly sliding into the hole, but those in Christ in us were upright and couldn't be moved and those that grabbed onto us (Christ in us) were kept from falling in. (He saves the righteous.) (But this is also a “spiritual shaking” where everything will change for those in the world with many receiving a fear of the Lord which is the beginning of wisdom. Things will also change for those abiding in Christ, believing to be chosen to be in the Bride when the latter rain anointing of the Man-child ministry begins with Rev 6 judgments.) (The judgements coming upon the world will surprise those that are unprepared, but those living in Jesus are expecting this and they are prepared.) NENT Rev 16:15 (Lo, I come as a thief. Blessed who watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. NENT Mat 24:42-51 Watch therefore: for ye know not what day your Lord cometh. 43 But know this, that if the house-master had known what watch the thief was coming, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be dug through. 44 Therefore be YE also ready; for in an hour that ye think not the Son of man cometh. 45 Who then is the faithful and wise bondman, whom the lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in season? 46 Blessed that bondman whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. 47 Amen I say unto you, that he will set him over all he hath. 48 But if that evil bondman shall say in his heart, My lord tarrieth; 49 and shall begin to beat his fellow-bondmen, and shall eat and drink with the drunken; 50 the lord of that bondman shall come in a day when he expecteth not, and in an hour when he knoweth not, 51 and shall severely scourge him, and appoint his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of the teeth. 1Th 5:2-8 For yourselves know perfectly that the Lord's day cometh as a thief at night. 3 But when they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as the travail upon the one with child; and they shall in no wise escape. (There are two, Day of the Lord judgments one smaller one before the tribulation at the end of the Brides testing by the factious to take them down at a Red Sea experience. Then a larger one at the end of the tribulation to judge those who tested the Church.) 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as thieves, 5 for ye are all sons of light, and sons of day: we are not of night, nor of darkness; 6 so then let us not sleep, as the rest, but let us watch and be sober. 7 For who sleep sleep at night; and who are drunken are drunken at night. 8 But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, salvation's hope. Hold Onto Jesus Anonymous 5/20/23 (David's notes in red) I was on a giant mountain, and I was very high up, and the air was fresh and clean. The sun was warm and there was a beautiful view. On the right side, not far from an edge, Jesus was hanging from a cross, and he had much blood on him. All I wanted to do was hold on to him and hug him. So I climbed up and held onto him as he hung on the cross and I didn't want to do anything else. (The old man needs to stay on the cross.) I stayed there with him and sometimes the breeze would get so very cold, but I didn't want to leave. (The cold breeze represents attacks from the enemy, and trials and tribulations that we must endure. When we love Jesus, we never want to leave him, and we never want to go back to the ways of the world, or the old man.) Jesus' warmth strengthened me. The wind would get so strong, and it almost blew me off, but I held on tightly. I did not want to come down or let go, I only wanted to hug Jesus. Gal 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. Rom 6:4-7 We were buried therefore with him through baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection; 6 knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin; 7 for he that hath died is justified from sin. A sister then came and climbed up and held onto Jesus with me. But then the wind became so very strong, and she slipped and almost fell to the area near the cliff, but I was able to grab her hand before she fell. I held onto her tight, not wanting her to fall and I used the strength of my right hand, while still holding onto Jesus, to pull her back up. She was able to grab onto the cross and then onto Jesus and the two of us were again hugging and holding onto Jesus. (Jesus through us gives grace and strength to help each other to hold onto Him.) (Psa 73:23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: Thou hast holden my right hand.) Col 3:12-15 Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering; 13 forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye: 14 and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful. 2Co 1:4-5 who comforteth us in all our affliction, that we may be able to comfort them that are in any affliction, through the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound unto us, even so our comfort also aboundeth through Christ. Five Senses Marie Kelton 5/20/23 (David's notes in red) During the meeting I had a vision of the inside of a cave. I saw my spirit man drag in five black beings into the cave, one by one. I knew that the five black beings were dead. (Representing the five senses of the natural man that are submitted to darkness due to the carnal nature but must be overcome by the spirit-man to take our spiritual land from the enemies. The Bride will have overcome the 5 senses.) This text came to mind: Jos 10:17 ASV And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings (The five carnal senses that rule the old mans life) are found, hidden in the cave (Our mouth) at Makkedah. 18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them: (The stones of the Word must restrain them from speaking.) …22 Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth those five kings unto me out of the cave. (These senses must be put to death to conquer our promised land of this nature and life.) 23 And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave …24 …Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said unto the chiefs of the men of war that went with him, Come near, put your feet upon the necks of these kings. And they came near, and put their feet upon the necks of them. (So that they are not permitted to speak out of the mouth.) 25 And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage: for thus shall Jehovah do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. 26 And afterward Joshua smote them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees: (The cross took care of this problem: Rom 6:6-12 ASV knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away, that so we should no longer be in bondage to sin; 7 for he that hath died is justified from sin. 8 But if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him; …11 Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus. 12 Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey the lusts thereof: Gold Mist Tianna Fire 6/19/23 (David's notes in red) I saw the local and outreach brethren all gathered together in a circle in unity. They all had this gold light radiating from each of them and all around and in between them and in the circle. The glow also was like mist around them except they were all clearly visible and part of the gold mist. (This gold represents the very valuable life of Christ given to us through the promises.) Every person had their arms raised in the air praising and thanking God and they were all ascending higher and higher, all together at the same time and in unity. The glow got bright and bright the higher they got and the greater God's presence got. I loved how everyone was ascending together, as one in unity rather than each ascending at a different time. (We are ONE.) The Greater Anointing Is Coming Amos Scaggs 6/03/2007 (David's notes in red) The separation is coming. I saw a new bottle of HD (high detergent) oil opened and the top portion poured out on the ground, as if to skim off the impurities. The major portion of it was to be poured in the oil tank where it belongs. "HD" or Harley Davidson dominated the 1/2-mile dirt track races in my time. The HD oil was poured in for the final run to win the race. I was a Harley rider, although I rode the fast Japanese bikes afterward. God communicates to us in a fashion so we can understand. Note from David: I guess the small amount of oil poured on the earth is for the earthly early rain Christians and the great amount poured in the engine is for the anointed man-child at the first, and then to lead the body in the same anointing to win the race to the end. The small amount on the ground could be the early rain Christians who now are very earthly while the greater amount for the coming days could be the early and latter rain Christians under the Man-child reformers. Hag_2:9 The latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former, saith Jehovah of hosts; and in this place will I give peace, saith Jehovah of hosts. High Detergent oil is for cleaning up engines, too. Pour the whole bottle on me, Lord! Need to get this engine running. :o) The Man-Child Ministry Manifests Tianna Fire 6/22/23 (David's notes in red) I saw Jesus in a dark city in a dark world with demons everywhere, and He was the height of a normal man. I felt that Jesus was representing all of us together as one. (The first fruits to come into the image of Jesus in these days are the Corporate Body of the Man-Child but through the revival they bring many will join them.) In maybe a millisecond He grew so tall; taller than a skyscraper and every single demon was in extreme fear and terror shaking and trembling, they were frozen and couldn't move from fear as they all knew, and Jesus knew their time was done! NENT Php 2:10-11 that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to God the Father's glory. Our Protector Marie Kelton 5/12/23 (David's notes in red) During the meeting, I had an open vision of the Lord. The Lord was huge and really tall (This represents the Corporate Body of the Man-Child, who is quickly joined by the Bride, and then later the true Church.) I was only able to see the bottom of His linen garment and the sandals on His feet. I saw the Lord walking and as He walked, the floor cracked in front of Him. The cracks on floor looked like fault line cracks. I then heard a voice say, “When He walked, the earth trembled." Psa 68:8 The earth trembled, The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God: Yon Sinai trembled at the presence of God, the God of Israel. Psa 77:18 The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lightened the world: The earth trembled and shook. Psa 114:7 Tremble, thou earth, at the presence of the Lord, At the presence of the God of Jacob. Supper With Jesus Tianna Fire 6/22/23 (David's notes in red) I saw the local and UBM brethren, all together sitting around a rectangular table for a meal. They hadn't yet eaten, but all the food was already prepared. Jesus was sitting at the very far end of the table at the head, (Our Lord and King's position) and He was glowing and so much brighter and more pure than white. (The Son shines so brightly!) He was speaking with everyone and instructing them with love and compassion, but I don't know what He was saying. But I knew that He was there to eat with all of us so we will be energized and ready for what He wants us to do next. (At His return in the Man-child body to lead His people through the wilderness tribulation greater works will be done. This is the 7 day Marriage Feast, the last 7 years on earth before going home to Heaven to the Marriage Supper.) Luk 22:14-18 And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the apostles with him. 15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer: 16 for I say unto you, I shall not eat it, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 17 And he received a cup, and when he had given thanks, he said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves: 18 for I say unto you, I shall not drink from henceforth of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come. Instant Deliverance Anonymous 6/24/23 (David's notes in red) I saw us all in a refuge, and there was utter chaos all around the world. It was only Jesus in all of The Brethren, there were no devils there, because they could not hide in anyone's thoughts or flesh, because the light and spirit of Christ was so powerful and strong. There were no more half-truths and half-lies. No more sometimes manifesting Jesus and sometimes not. It was either fully Jesus or fully the devil on earth. The new believers that got the revelation of Christ, when they came to Jesus and to the refuge, they would have instant deliverance, from being in the presence of Jesus. The demons in anyone were NOT be able to hide. There was a complete separating in soul and body. When someone got the revelation of Jesus, they grew so quick and faster than we have ever seen. If it was someone's will to be only Jesus, they would have it and all demons would go without a fight. Jesus walked down the street (in a vessel) and it caused demonized people to flee, they could not be in His presence; they feared and trembled. Those that saw the light and those that God gave grace to come to Him, would see the light and run to it, and with them in agreement with the Word, the devils will have to flee as soon as they repented. The presence was so strong that no person, factious person, or someone that was against The Word was able to stay around Brethren, because all the devils were completely driven away. Jesus in everyone saw all the spirits in each person, and there was no deception because Jesus saw all lies, because Jesus is only Truth. The discernment was in black and white, nothing was hidden, everything was in the light. It was instantaneous deliverances and complete healing for individuals, and multiple people in great numbers. Faith was poured out greater than ever, and people would believe things we never thought were possible. The enemy was completely exposed and literally couldn't even hide, because of how great the light of Jesus was. People were gathered in perfectly to the refuge and only The Lord would ordain who was there, it was orchestrated with miracles and wonders. (For example, someone in Africa wakes up and walks out of their shack, and they realize they aren't even in African anymore, and they look behind them and the shack is gone because they got translated to the refuge. A man driving with his family and the direction was to turn left but he just turned right instead and they just ended up at the refuge.) Do You Really Want Me? Anonymous 6/24/23 (David's notes in red) “The spiritual and physical are merging together as one, there is no fence sitting. What someone is in the spiritual, will completely manifest in the physical, there is no hiding. The devils will manifest through their vessels stronger than ever, and Jesus in His vessels will manifest greater than ever. The war of Heaven and hell are appearing together on earth in the physical. Every soul will be forced to choose one. (NENT Rev 12:7-12 And war was in the heaven: Michael and his angels going to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; 8 and he prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in the heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who deceiveth of the whole inhabited earth; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. 10 And I heard a great voice in the heaven, saying, Now is the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom, become our God's, and the authority is become his Christ's: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night. 11 And THEY overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death. 12 Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and ye that tabernacle in them. Woe for the earth and the sea, because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short season.) Do not fear. My son, I have not given you a spirit of fear but power love and sound mind. I am Love, accept my love and reject rejection. You are chosen for this time; you have been chosen as a vessel for My Love to flow through. Heaven will be here through you. There is nothing any of you can do yourself, it is all Me and My grace, just rest in My presence and believe Me and I will manifest it all. I have already done all, all you need to do is rest. Meditate on Me, keep your mind on Me, keep your body focused on Me. When you don't feel My Love and Peace, stop everything and think and look to Me. Choose Me and My Holy Presence every moment. When you go out of Me come back to Me. Everyone with Me right now is 100% in My presence, and there is no going back and forth out of Me. All of Me in you is what I want. It is not your desires; it is My desire that I gave to you. I want to manifest through you more than you want Me too. I want to use you for My Glory and My Praise. I need vessels that will choose Me and My ways every moment, I am bringing Heaven here on earth and it is already here I am here now and I will increase to the extent that you allow Me. I will do what you allow Me to do. Forget ALL worldly desires and distractions, I can fill your stomach without food, I give you energy without sleep, I am beyond anything you see and understand in the physical, and I will do greater works than you can imagine. Recognize the demons of rejection, unworthiness as lies and pure evil. Rejection and unworthiness are what the demons will experience for eternity. They want to take you with them. But I have chosen you, I have bought you with My Sons Blood. I have cleaned you and already prepared you for Me to manifest through you, everything is My works, I planned and wrote all before the world's foundation, I AM and everything is about Me. So many of you are battling these demons of rejection, self-rejection, pride and other lies. The demons are tricking you to think that you are separated from Me, but you are not. You are closer to Me than you can comprehend. Stop believing these lies. Stop being jealous and envious of your brethren. All and everything are from Me. See Me behind ALL vessels, good and evil. It is Me in your brethren. It is ALL me and everything IS my Grace. Each of you are created for a specific purpose and there is no other vessel that can be used for the same purpose you were created for. Each of you are completely unique and there is no other person in existence like you. Let go of pride, ALL is Me! There is no pride in Heaven. Lucifer is without Me because of his pride, reject it. I Am and ALL is My will now and forever and I Am all that will ever be. No soul with Me right now has pride with them. No soul with Me has rejection or jealousy or anything evil here with them. These ARE devils and you need to recognize them and let them go. Rejection is a giant demon, and the biggest lie, and it only wants you to feel rejected because it is rejected by Me. I have not rejected you I have known you before existence and I knew all you will go through; I wrote your entire life and you are already here with Me and your Brethren now for eternity. What you know as of time and the physical realm is coming to a close and you will be walking in the spiritual. Heaven is here through you and it is going to manifest in full. Remember everything IS My Grace. Ask me for humility, it is a gift from Me. Ask Me for any and all your needs little and big, you have not because you ask not. Ask me and believe and YOU WILL receive. I am all. I want to give you more than you know but I won't give it to you unless it is what you want. Lucifer wanted pride so he was given pride and the consequences of it. Those with Me wanted to be 1 with Me and they are now here with Me. What you want you will receive as I don't give you what you don't want; I give you what you want. You have free will and I will not force My love on you, I will not force you to be with me now and for eternity. That is up to you. Do you really want Me to manifest through you? Do you really want to let go of everything that isn't Holy? Do you really want My pure Holy Love and Spirit in full? Do you want the 100% manifestation of My Son in all aspects of your existence including the physical? Ask Me and believe and you WILL receive, not for yourself, but for Me. It is for My Glory, My praise, My honor, I am all and through all and in all, now and forever and it is ALL for Me. I Am that I Am. 2Co 4:11 For we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. Completely All Anonymous 06/22/23 (David's notes in red) When I had this experience, everything I wrote I felt and saw as if it had fully manifested, and it was so real and alive and true and I DESIRED, that I could have stayed in this experience. It was maybe like 10-30 seconds of seeing and feeling all of this, and it was so real and I am so excited for us all to have this connection with God every moment, no matter what is going on, and to have His Holy connection with each other and being one together, without spot or blemish. I was praying in tongues, and I saw that very soon we are all going to be so connected to God (we already are but it will physically manifest), that we will hear His voice extremely clear every moment, and we know it is Him without doubt and unbelief. That we will constantly be speaking to Him back and forth, more than we speak to any human, when awake and asleep our soul will be communing with Him just as The Holy Spirit does. Eph 3:18 may be strong to apprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ which passeth knowledge, that ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God. The flesh will be so suppressed and submissive to The Holy Spirit, and we will be so in tune with God, we know and obey what He wants with extreme joy in every moment, without complaint and without the flesh trying to stop us. We will have such boldness to have Him speak through us, with no fear of man, or fear of rejection (These things that try to hinder us from being and living as Jesus won't even try to hinder us anymore.) We will know 100% that He is in us, and all around us and we ARE one with Him (Him literally here in this physical flesh and the flesh in agreement without hindrance.) Eph_3:20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. That we would know and be, living and breathing His Word, not from our own works and in His strength but from His Spirit and Grace in our soul. Every second we will know it is His Grace and we will rest beyond understanding, because we are in Him and Him in us no matter what is going on around us, (Our soul will be fully content with this and nothing can stop it and the flesh will submit.) We will know Jesus' authority in us over the enemy, and the enemy will flee with one word or thought, because it's just Jesus in us. No more struggling with the flesh, but just being in Him. 1Co_15:28 And when all things have been subjected unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subject all things unto him, that God may be all in all. We can constantly freely praise and worship Him every moment with NO temptation to complain, murmur or doubt. Our soul is completely free to praise as The Holy Spirit desires and free to worship God with our body in the physical- being submitted to doing ALL God wants. All of this while on earth in this physical body; Alive in Christ. I saw that The Brethren will be in complete unity, because of Jesus, and the enemy won't be able to get in the way of oneness in Christ. No jealousy, no pride, no rejection, no battles of the flesh; but pure Holy Love one to another, loving each other as we love our self, and serving each other as Christ serves. We will be one with no separation, no superiority, equal together in Christ. All different members, but all one body working together in unity, like the human body. So connected, it's as if we are reading each other's mind, and in agreement in our minds and souls and spirit, and the flesh is submitted. That everything flows perfectly because we all are constantly connected and in tune with God (and in tune with each other.) That our Faith is complete with God, that we have not even a tiny doubt, and we know that what we ask, we immediately receive because it's Christ in us. That which we command and speak into the physical, is immediately manifested, because Jesus in us is communing with Father every second. The enemy doesn't even try his normal tactics of unclean thoughts and feelings, because he knows we won't even accept or look at it. I knew that we will see and experience things we can't even imagine right now, but it is all for God's glory and it will be only Jesus in us. We can't do anything to make this happen, but have faith in His grace to do it through us for His Glory. EVERYTHING IS for Him! Now and forever! 2Co 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit. New Training Level Samuel Fire 06/22/23 (David's notes in red) “You are now in a new level of training. This is an exercise of the tests and application of My Word. Speak and hold to the miracles I have promised! Many are showing others who are younger in the walk to have a go when in doubt or little experience. See how one who prays and praises in faith, can move a miracle. Then others will add their belief and suddenly, the power multiplies many times more and spreads beyond even the first person who prayed. The effects go to areas and new heights where no one had even thought. I am beyond the imagination or impossibility. You (all) are My vessel. I will flow through you all as a Holy Army!” I landed on: ‘testifying' in NENT 1Th 2:11-12 as ye know how we were exhorting you, each of you, as a father his own children, and encouraging, and testifying, 12 that ye should walk worthily of the God that calleth you into his own kingdom and glory.

In the Gospel of St. Luke chapter 14, our Lord Jesus Christ teaches the Parable of the Great Banquet. The Church has forever taught that the great banquet in this parable is indeed the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. This table was prepared by the suffering of Christ upon the Cross so that He might deliver to us everything we need for true life and salvation. Every time we gather together by His loving invitation, the One Who prepares this feast grants us every benefit He accomplished for us upon His Holy and Lifegiving Cross.

By Robin Webber in Las Vegas, NV, Redlands, CA, San Diego, CA - May 28, 2023 - This annual festival speaks to when God invited Israel to approach and experience His Holy presence as He gave His law written on stone from Mt. Sinai. But today God has called "The Israel of God" (Gal. 6:16) to approach Mt. Zion (Heb.12:22) with His gift of a new heart and His laws written upon them. What is our responsibility and opportunities as we approach and are made aware of the indwelling presence of God in us?
Awake to help me, and behold! You therefore, O LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel, Awake to punish all the nations; Do not be merciful to any wicked transgressors. Selah Many Bible scholars believe that Psalm 59 is possibly one of the first psalms that David wrote. From the title we know that David was the writer and that he intended for it to be used as a song of worship in the temple. It is interesting to remember that David was no doubt a poet and he would express his thoughts, his feelings, and the emotions of his heart in writing these poems. Most of David's psalms were born out of the times of tremendous trials and adversity that he faced in his life. Many of the hymns and praise songs we sing in our church services today are from the musicians and writers' heartbreak and life experiences. Psalm 59 is also another "destroy not" Psalm of David. When he gives us this statement in one of his titles, David is reminding us that the person God preserves Satan cannot destroy. The historical background to Psalm 59 comes from 1 Samuel 19, which begins with King Saul telling his men to kill David. But David always seemed to find a friend to help him when his case was peculiarly dangerous. On this occasion that friend was from his enemy's household. It was Michal, Saul's daughter, who also had become his wife. On former occasions it had been Jonathan, Saul's son. God has amazing ways of caring for us! Psalm 59 is a Michtam psalm, which means it is one that is written to be engraven in the mind and memory, in the heart and life. God used David to write at least half of the psalms. Even though David is the writer, writing them out of his life experiences, God is the author who inspires David to write them to be a part of His Holy inspired, infallible Word! “All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16). The Apostle Paul also tells us in Romans 15:4: “For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.” David expressed his grief, his pain, his feelings of rejection, his heartaches, his troubles and trials to the LORD in his poems, which for the most part are prayers. So often instead of praying, we are complaining, groaning and telling everyone else about our trouble and pain. The focus of Psalm 59 is on God Who is the Deliverer (vv. 1-9), and Who is the Judge (vv. 10-17). We should note David's repeated "statement of faith" in verses 9 and 17. David waited and watched for God to work, and then he sang praises to the Lord for His mercies. God's people can always turn to the Lord for deliverance in times of danger and testing because He hears our prayers (vv. 1-2). "Defend me" means "set me on high," for David saw the Lord as his fortress and high tower (Psalms18:2; 20:1; 46:7, 11; 91:14). However, David's prayer wasn't a substitute for action, for "faith without works is dead" (James 2:26). Michel's warning and immediate action saved his life, and her use of the "dummy" in the bed helped to buy time for her husband to get to Samuel in Ramah. But it was the Lord who answered prayer and orchestrated the escape. The Lord also knows our hearts (vv. 3-4) and recognized that David was innocent of the charges Saul's men were making against him (Psalm 7:1-5; see 1 Samuel 20:1 and 24:11). No doubt, there is a place and time to share our hearts with those that we believe the Lord puts in our lives during our trials to comfort and help us, and who will encourage us. But first, like David, we should learn to take our burdens to the LORD and find from the Scriptures patience and comfort, and that will give us the hope we need. Who knows how the Lord might then use us to be a blessing to others because of the testimony of His grace that we experienced in the time of our need! God bless!
When we as believers are experiencing and enjoying the wonderful blessings of the LORD, we are so prone to wander from Him and focus on the blessings instead of the Blesser. This reminds me of the old hymn written by Robert Robinson in 1758 when he was only 22 years old, called "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing". One of verses goes like this: “O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be! Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, Bind my wandering heart to Thee. Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it, Prone to leave the God I love; Here's my heart, O take and seal it, Seal it for Thy courts above.” Especially in our contemporary Christian culture today we tend to sing about and think only of God as our Friend, Who loves us and we can do anything we want to do with no accountability. We forget that He is also our Judge and one day He is coming, and we must stand before Him as He sits on His Holy throne! Psalm 50 is a message Psalm to remind God's people of that aspect of God. The chapter ends with this warning and admonition in verse 22: "Now consider this, you who forget God, Lest I tear you in pieces, And there be none to deliver”. The Psalmist introduces this message with a reminder that God is a holy and righteous Judge (vv. 1-6). Human judges are called "The Honorable," or “Your Honor”, but this Judge is called "The Mighty One" (El), "God" (Elohim), "the Lord" (Jehovah), "the Most High" (Elyon, v. 14), and "God" (Eloah). He is Judge (vv. 4, 6), Prosecutor, and Jury—and He knows all about those who are on trial! He calls heaven and earth to witness the proceedings (vv. 1, 4, 6; see Deut. 4:26, 32; 31:28; 32:1; Isa. 1:2; Mic. 1:2 and 6:1-2). “The Mighty One, God the LORD, Has spoken”. When a judge speaks everyone listens carefully because his word is final. No one argues with the judge! And my friend no one will argue with God on the day that sits to Judge His people. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God will shine forth. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silent; A fire shall devour before Him, And it shall be very tempestuous all around Him.” When a judge enters a courtroom, everybody stands respectfully; but God's entrance into this assembly is accompanied by the shining of His glory (80:1; 94:2) and a fiery tempest. This is not unlike the scene at Mount Sinai when He gave His law (Ex. 19:18; 24:17; Deut. 4:11-12; 33:2; Heb. 12:18, 29). When we forget the transcendence of God, we find it easier to sin. When this Psalm was written the ark was with the people on Mount Zion ("Immanuel, God with us"). But the nation must not forget Mount Sinai where their God revealed His holiness and greatness. The Psalmist praised Zion for its beauty (v. 2; 48:2; Lam. 2:15), but he also wants us to remember "the beauty of holiness" (27:4; 90:17; 110:3). God is a righteous Judge (vv. 4, 6; see also Psalms 7:11; 9:8; 11:4-7; 75:2; 96:10, 13; 98:9), and judgment begins with His own people (1 Peter 4:17). They are "godly ones," that is, a people set apart exclusively for the Lord because of the holy covenant (vv. 5, 16; Ex. 19:1-9; 24:4-8; Amos 2:3). Some of His people had sinned, and He had been longsuffering with them and silent about the matter (vv. 3, 21). They have misinterpreted His silence as consent (Eccl. 8:11; Isa. 42:14; 57:11), but now the time had come for the Holy God to speak. The purpose of this "trial" was not to judge and condemn the sinners but to expose their sins and give them the opportunity to repent and return to the Lord. Remember 1 Corinthians 11:31-32: “For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.” Please take time today to let God's Word cleanse you as you reflect on the condition of your heart and life! God bless!
The Beast's Great Deception (4) (Audio) David Eells - 3/15/23 A Giant on the Levee Adele Frederick - 2/9/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed it was dark and I was outside. I was in Bridge City near the fire station and the Mississippi River levee. (This is where Avondale Shipyard used to be, and it has now just been sold to Port of South Louisiana and been re-named Avondale Global Gateway.) (This gateway is a gateway to invasion under cover of darkness which should be prayed against.) There were people running around and there was a Chinese woman in a black police uniform telling everyone to go inside. She seemed very nice. We had to go inside to be safe. (They had to go inside so they couldn't see the giant coming over the levee.) Then I looked over at the levee and I saw a giant man, as tall as a skyscraper, standing on it. He was so tall; all I could see was from his thighs down. The rest of his body was surrounded in a thick fog. He was so tall. (This giant man represents a corporate body of people; a secret invasion. The Chinese have bought up many of our toll roads and ports etc. Thick fog indicates a deception.) As soon as I saw the giant, it came to me that this is a hologram and a deception. (Could this be a “look here, don't look over there” false flag, i.e. a distraction?) Then I woke up. When I received this dream, I wrote an email to President Trump saying the following: Mr. President, I have sent you warnings of things to come and have been very accurate. 3 years before the plague I told you it was coming and would ultimately cause the death of many. We just got a warning dream about the newly bought Avondale shipyard. A giant man (probably Chinese, since those in control were Chinese) standing on the levee of the old Avondale shipyard between the water and the land. (A large corporate body invasion over the levee?) Shipping containers come in that way. Since it was sold to someone and renamed Avondale Global Gateway, could it represent a gateway for the Chinese CCP to invade? I heard an invasion under the Canadian border by the CCP was stopped by the US military by bombs 2-3 years ago. Also, the Chinese were run out of the west coast when the military bombed the underground bases there. The DS definitely wants the CCP in here to overthrow the US. It would be interesting to see if leftists bought the port to enable this. When she saw the giant Chinese man as large as a skyscraper standing on the levee, her thought was, This is a deception, it's a hologram. GOD BE WITH YOU. Your servant, David (Adele said, “I've never dreamed anything like this before. I believe this dream is a confirmation of Mary Baxter's revelation from the, The Beast's Great Deception (1) broadcast on 2/12/23.”) Chinese Covertly Planned Famine Isaac Payne - 2/5/23 (David's notes in red) (… As the Chinese spy balloon was coming within proximity to Ohio, I asked Father whose device this was and what was their purpose. I wanted the real news which is why I asked Father in prayer. Marianna and I prayed in agreement for a dream.) Then I had a dream where I was witnessing, in the Spirit, a farmer tending his crop. The farmer was wearing overalls and a red, straw hat and holding a corn hook. The farmer looked like he was from the 1800's based on his attire. (This farmer could represent a corporate body of farmers across the country.) (I remember that the tool looked like a sickle, but I knew it wasn't. I looked it up on the internet and found out that the corn hook was invented in the 1800s. The corn was green and still unripe, not being ready for the harvest. The farmer was dismayed as half his crop was decimated and trampled over and now worthless. (The Chinese spy balloons could have been mapping our countries crops to perform a targeted destruction of America's food supply. Their crops will be partially destroyed by the enemy. This is how communists take over by controlling the food supply.) Surrounding the farmer was United States Soldiers from this 21st century and they were technically advanced. (21st referring to great wickedness, rebellion, and willful sin.) (As we have seen, God will bring judgment through famine.) They were wearing camouflage and surrounding the farmer and his crops on all sides. (Camouflage representing covert operations by the DS military.) They held the farmer at gun point and were blatantly destroying his crops. The farmer was noticeably angry yelling at them in desperation for destroying his lively hood and dumbfounded by the obvious treason of the United States. (There have been massive protests by the farmers all over the world and here, too, farmers have been forced to destroy their own crops on the threat that if they don't it will get sprayed.) Then I woke up. Luk. 21:10-11 Then said he unto them, Nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and there shall be great earthquakes, and in divers places famines and pestilences; and there shall be terrors and great signs from heaven. (I know there are much greater signs to be seen in the heaven, but I thought this was interesting as this balloon was a sign for me to pray to Father to reveal the plans of the enemy in a dream.) Rom. 8:35-37 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or anguish, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Even as it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; We were accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.) (Let's transition here to a spiritual aspect of the enemy's attack. Jesus gave parables of physical crops which represented spiritual crops. The physical was a sign of the spiritual.) Black Dragon Burns Up the Tares Marie Kelton - 3/11/23 (David's notes in red) During the meeting, I had an open vision. I was looking across farmland that had grass on it. (The grass represents the fleshly in God's farm. Peter said, “All flesh is as grass.”) The sun was setting, I could only see half of it above the horizon. (The sun is setting on the Babylonian DS Empire.) The sky was a purplish orange color. (Their royalty is being destroyed.) I then saw a huge black dragon come from the sky and land on the farmland. The farmland was covered in thorn bushes that were bare. (The fruitless, porcupine, factious, cursed, apostates destroyed by Babylon on its way down as we have been shown many times.) The dragon (Representing Babylon?) Breathed fire out of it's mouth and burned up the thorn bushes. I saw this a couple of times. (Joseph said, “because the dream was doubled it shall surely come to pass.” It will come to pass because "His recompense is before Him.” Jesus comes first as the Man-child to destroy the Edomites as David did.) Old Weeds Pulled As Revival Begins Claire Pienaar - 10/14/22 (David's notes in red) (I represent the Bride in this dream, as my name means “brilliance”, which denotes the “lampros garment” of righteous acts of the saints as mentioned in Rev 19:8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.) I dreamed I was in my parents' old home. (They represent the original Church and its gospel. Gal 1:8-9: But though we, or an angel from heaven, should preach unto you any gospel other than that which we preached unto you, let him be anathema. …) (Another Gospel is being preached everywhere with a form of godliness but denying the power thereof, and judgment has to follow.) We were working in the garden. It was unbelievably messy and there were weeds and much poor overgrowth. I did not pull the weeds and bad plants out, only my dad did that but, I was watching and helping to tidy up. (Claire's dad represents the Father who will uproot all the tares and bad overgrowth out of His “garden”. Mat. 15:13 Every plant which my heavenly Father planted not, shall be rooted up. And Mat. 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather up first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them; but gather the wheat into my barn. The Bride helps to “tidy up” by preaching the unleavened bread of the Word which naturally separates the tares from the wheat.) I was then aware that my grandmother was at a nursing home, and a woman from the home texted my mom to tell her, “There are terrible sounds coming from her room. She is dying. Come quickly”. I thought, “my grandmother is already dead”, so this confused me slightly in the dream. (The mother of the harlots has been dead a long time, but many are still trapped in her dead religions.) (We are spiritual children of the gospel once and for all delivered through Jesus Christ, so the grandmother represents the original apostasy we've all come out of. Even Paul came out of the apostasy of his day.) My mother dropped all the weeds and went to my grandmother's room in the nursing home. …She left me to clean up the rest of the garden with my dad. I knew my grandmother was dead, and I didn't understand why my mother wanted to go to a dead body. (Mat. 8:22 But Jesus saith unto him, Follow me; and leave the dead to bury their own dead.) We bundled all the weeds that were now pulled out of the garden, into big black trash bags. I remember, in the dream, …that I seemed happy to be helping my dad. All I saw in the garden now were only perfect, tall rose stalks with a few beautiful roses. Some were red, some were pink, some were white. (I think the colors might represent the stages of our walk: walking completely under the blood 30-fold, then walking in love 60-fold, then walking in the light of the Son -100fold. The Rose of Sharon is Jesus). (Song 2:1 I am a rose of Sharon, A lily of the valleys.) Then, In the dream, I was transported to this place, that was like a wilderness or outdoor church camp for tweens and teenagers. (As we will see, the revival will begin amongst the young people.) My children were there. One young girl named Ruth was sharing her testimony about how she came to Christ. (Ruth means “friend” and her loyalty was rewarded by allowing her, a Moabite [Gentile bride, to be married to David's line, the man-child.] We are all supposed to be loyal to the promises of the Gospel so that we, too, can birth Christ). She said she was star gazing one night and, in the sky, she saw the stars spell out: “He made it ALL. He loves YOU.” My children were stoked to see this message in the stars, as she had taken a photo of it and had it up on a slide show or presentation. I think I might have helped her switch on the little projector. (The Bride helps to “project” Jesus which will contribute to awesome testimonies during this last great revival.) Then I was transported into the image, and I saw the stars come together by His words. Then it zoomed out and I realized she'd only captured one part of the message. The entire complement of stars had a message written in them that He wanted us to see and hear. It was too beautiful and too shiny, and I marveled. I can't remember the message. I think some of the tweens there started seeing bits of the extended message too, because there was much jubilation and many had little fire sparklers they were waving around excitedly. (Revival) (Gen. 15:5: And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and number the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy seed be.) I kept on having flashes about my dead grandmother but just chose to enjoy this joyous moment with my children. Then I woke up I asked the Lord for a word by faith at random for this dream and received Ezekiel 39:21 (finger on my glory”): “And I will set my glory among the nations; and all the nations shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. I asked The Lord for one more word, and received Isaiah 1:16, (in context 16-17): Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; learn to do well; seek justice, relieve the oppressed, judge the fatherless, plead for the widow. Excerpt from Ministering Angels Through UBM (3): Eve said, “I asked the angel Shemuel if he had anything to say” and he said, “A great move of God is coming upon the younger generations. There is a mildew and rottenness that has been cast upon this crop by satan; a perpetual darkness, so that the Son has not shown upon them. They languish and rot in the field and their fruit is poisoned. But the Son is coming to shine down upon them and he will burn up all the disease and mildew of their lives and the heat of His fire will burn through them and cleanse and restore them to the purpose they were created for. There has never been a revival like this that will sweep the whole earth. This will be entirely an act of God; supernatural and undeniable. He will not forsake the youth of this final generation.” (Well, we can see the youth being revived, no longer satisfied with powerless religion.) Angels Ask to Serve Us in the Harvest Revival Brian - 12/14/2007 (David's notes in red) I had a dream that I was standing outside, staring at the sky. It was dark and the sky was full of stars. As I was looking up, the moon and the stars started moving around in a crazy circle very fast. (The moon and stars represent God's people bringing light to the night. This reminds us of Joseph's dream of the sun/Father, moon/Mother, and stars/brethren. Gen. 37:9 And he dreamed yet another dream, and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold, I have dreamed yet a dream: and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars made obeisance to me. Joseph was the man-child. This was a revival.) When they stopped, some of the stars made the shape of a large fish in the sky and started blinking like a neon sign. (The great fish in heavenly places represents a great corporate harvest of fish after many nights.) What looked like smoke then started coming down from the sky from where the fish was toward me. I was scared and started running toward this house. The smoke was following me. As I went into the house and turned around, much to my surprise, the smoke took on the shape of a huge angel with wings. (The angels that came to us said they were going to help the saints during this great revival.) It then started waving at me very friendly-like. I turned around to tell whoever was in the house that there was an angel outside waving to me. When I turned back around it was daylight and there were now many angels, and they were standing right in front of me. {Heb.1:14} Are they (angels) not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?) They looked like people and they all had pen and paper in their hands, ready to write. They greeted me and asked if I needed anything. (The angels serve our needs in the work of bringing in the fish, among other things.) I said, "Can you make sure Lisa Tate and her family are saved?" (Lisa is a childhood friend that I had been having dreams about lately.) One of the angels said, "We can't see that someone is saved but we are here to see if you need anything". ("You have not because you ask not".) The End. The Lord confirmed this dream days later through my 3-year-old nephew who was spending the weekend at my mother's house. He just blurted out on that Sunday afternoon that he had a dream that night that the Sun, Moon, and Stars all got into a boat that was in the water. I have to say the goosebumps grew quickly. (1 Co.15 likens the Sun, Moon and Stars to the different stages of growth of God's people. Here they are caught in a boat like fish.) It was then that the Spirit led me to a book called "The Witness of the Stars" by E. W. Bullinger, where I think I found the fish. I had no idea that the zodiac had the biblical story. I guess Satan has counterfeited everything. This is what I found in book 2, chapter 2: "Piscis Australis" (The Southern Fish) This first constellation is one of high antiquity, and its brilliant star of the first magnitude was a subject of great study by the Egyptians and Ethiopians. It is named in Arabic "Fom al Haut", "The mouth of the Fish". There are 22 other stars. (It is the fishes' hunger from God that causes them to be caught.) The constellation is inseparable from Aquarius. In the Denderah Zodiac it is called Aar, "A Stream". It sets forth the simple truth that the blessings procured by the MAN - the coming seed of the woman, will be surely bestowed and received by those for whom they are intended. There will be no failure in their communication, or in their reception. What has been purchased shall be secured and possessed. (This is true of Jesus and Jesus in the end-time man-child company of Rev.12.) PS: Zodiac, ancient word Zoaz, "the path", or "the way". (The Bible speaks of constellations of the Zodiac positively, but men have turned these good signs into astrology, which is idolatry.) Angels Ask To Serve Us in The Harvest Excerpt from Ministering Angels Through UBM (3): The angel Baruch said, “There is a time coming soon when the fire of our God will be sent down upon His people and the events we've spoken to you about previously will begin to take place. Supernatural gifting and abilities will be bestowed upon the saints by angels with these assignments. (Some don't know that angels manifest the gifts.) These angels will have greater freedom with regards to appearances and communications with the saints. They will have the command to assist and equip the saints in their end time assignments and gifting's, but instructions will still be given to the saints on a “need to know” basis because of the nature of mankind and the limitations of their vessels.” (Mena Lee Jones just had a dream that many people were about to die. Before leaving Egypt to go into the wilderness tribulation, there was the Passover, which was very specific because it took out the Egyptians who were persecuting God's people. This is like when David came to the throne and he judged the Edomites who were persecuting God's people.) The Righteous and the Wicked David Eells In 70 AD the Romans came and slaughtered the Jews who crucified Jesus and His disciples. This was the reason Josephus gave for their destruction. He was hired by the Romans to write their history. There were piles of bodies when the Romans entered the city. Faction fell on the Jews, and they killed each other because they factioned against Jesus and His disciples. Of course, the Christians were commanded to flee to the mountains when they saw this beast army, so the obedient Christians escaped. This is very similar to today, but it is a worldwide scene because the spiritual Jews circumcised in heart are world wide and so are their crucifiers the satanist DS in Church and state. President Trump and the Alliance are doing a God ordained Job in destroying the DS army of crucifiers. They are putting to death traitors, pedophiles, bisexuals, homosexuals, traffickers, child sacrificers, slanderers and liars around the world. Homosexual Agenda: The Second Plague of Frogs Deb Horton sent this revelation to us: Way, way back when, we learned in biology class that frogs can change their sex, sometimes based on external influences, i.e., lack of the opposite sex nearby, chemical pollution, etc., but sometimes for no discernible reason. So, what are we being plagued with today? Gender "fluidity," "transitioning," LGBTQxyz. (The DS in Church and state have common demons of perversion which frogs represent.) Frogs were the second plague of Egypt. Howard Pitman saw a frog demon enter a person that caused him to lust. He also said that frog demons are so nasty that they're outcast as pariahs, even in hell. (Exo.8:1) And Jehovah spake unto Moses, Go in unto Pharaoh, and say unto him, Thus saith Jehovah, Let my people go, that they may serve me. (2) And if thou refuse to let them go, behold, I will smite all thy borders with frogs: (3) and the river shall swarm with frogs, which shall go up and come into thy house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneading-troughs: (4) and the frogs shall come up both upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon all thy servants. (Psa.105:30) Their land swarmed with frogs In the chambers of their kings. ("Chambers" there is "bedrooms.") (Rev.16:13) And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits, as it were frogs. Our Cyrus/Trump and the Alliance are taking down Babylon by the multitudes. And the Babylonians are taking down those apostates who do not believe God's Word and have rebelled against Him. And Jesus is coming to finish the job on these perverts in Church and state. Pray for the elect among them to come out. Sometimes we think things are going too slow, but our Lord is trying and purifying us in the meantime. He is and will separate the tares from the wheat. Because of this He showed me today to concentrate on Psalm 37, which guarantees God will bring down the evil ones who claim to be the Church while they kill God's Children like their Babylonian dragon has done. Psa 37:1-40 A Psalm of David. Fret not thyself because of evil doers, Neither be thou envious against them that work unrighteousness. (Because they cannot prosper for their latter end is written. It is a fact shown in all of history since Cain killed Abel.) 2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, And wither as the green herb. 3 Trust in Jehovah, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on his faithfulness. (Doing good while the wicked do bad is the test and Jesus showed us how to overcome in this by denying himself to go to His cross. He is faithful to finish the good work He started in us and to destroy our enemies. All you have to do is look at them and you know this and are so grateful you are chosen.) 4 Delight thyself also in Jehovah; And he will give thee the desires of thy heart. (Today we delight in the Lord and praise His Holy name as He binds the enemy and executes vengeance as He said in Psa. 149.) 5 Commit thy way unto Jehovah (Lord, Keep our feet in the narrow path! Thy word is a lamp unto our feet and light unto our path.); Trust also in him, and he will bring it to pass. (He is in absolute control of the wicked so we can trust Him.) 6 And he will make thy righteousness to go forth as the light, And thy justice as the noonday. (As we take up our cross to follow Him.) 7 Rest in Jehovah (Cease from self works or you fail the test.) and wait patiently for him: (He says vengeance is mine, I will repay.) Fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, Because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. (Fretting is like thinking of what we should do in their regards. It is also worrying about what they think they can do. Greater is He who is in you than He that is in the world, meaning satan and his children.) 8 Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: Fret not thyself, it tendeth only to evil-doing. (Cast down vain thoughts that make you mad at those who are demon possessed and don't even know what they are doing.) 9 For evil-doers shall be cut off (Look at them; they are already being cut off in spirit and soul and soon to be in body.); But those that wait for Jehovah, they shall inherit the land. (Wait for Him, don't get ahead of Him, for there is failure. They do as they please without conscience, but their time is so short, while you are eternal if you abide in Him and let the Word be your conscience. According to the parable of the sower 3 out of 4 fail this trial and those that fail are many times the persecutors.) 10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and he shall not be. 11 But the meek shall inherit the land And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. (The land is this carnal life which the spiritual man is sown in. When the old man is dead there is peace. But to the wicked there is no peace says our Lord.) 12 The wicked plotteth against the just, And gnasheth upon him with his teeth. (In their hatred they constantly plot the overthrow of the righteous, we have heard them, but…) 13 The Lord will laugh at him; For he seeth that his day is coming. 14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, To cast down the poor and needy, To slay such as are upright in the way. (The true God sees it all. It is the parable of Cain's attack on Abel replayed but Abel had a born again image in Seth. Eve said, “God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel.” Why instead of Abel? It is because Abel and Seth were sons of God but Cain was of the evil one.) 15 Their sword shall enter into their own heart, And their bows shall be broken. (Father says, I will curse them that curse thee. …And they will fall into their own traps.) 16 Better is a little that the righteous hath Than the abundance of many wicked. 17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken; But Jehovah upholdeth the righteous. (Some have thought that the end of Babylon in the world and church would never come but it is happening.) 18 Jehovah knoweth the days of the perfect; And their inheritance shall be for ever. 19 They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. 20 But the wicked shall perish, And the enemies of Jehovah shall be as the fat of lambs: They shall consume; in smoke shall they consume away. 21 The wicked borroweth (and stealeth), and payeth not again; But the righteous dealeth graciously, and giveth. 22 For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land (This is both spiritual and physical.); And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off. 23 A man's goings are established of Jehovah (Because He works in us to will and to do of His good pleasure as we walk by His faith.); And he delighteth in his way. (It is a delight to walk with the Lord and see His works!) 24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For Jehovah upholdeth him with his hand. 25 I have been young, and now am old; Yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, Nor his seed begging bread. (And so, it shall be.) 26 All the day long he dealeth graciously, and lendeth; And his seed is blessed. (Look at the seed of the wicked and you will see ruin, satanism, lesbianism, bisexuality, homosexuality, theft, fornication, hatred, and all the works of the flesh and hell if they don't repent.) 27 Depart from evil, and do good, And dwell for evermore. 28 For Jehovah loveth justice (So He said men would reap what they sow), And forsaketh not his saints; They are preserved for ever: But the seed of the wicked shall be cut off. (Paul said, the children are sanctified in the believing parents.) 29 The righteous shall inherit the land, And dwell therein for ever. 30 The mouth of the righteous talketh of wisdom (For they love Jesus the Word, who is to us wisdom.), And his tongue speaketh justice. 31 The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps shall slide. 32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, And seeketh to slay him. (This is literally so; they are stalkers.) 33 Jehovah will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged. (Satan tells his children they will rule over the righteous, that they will see their revenge on the righteous, but God says it will not end this way.) 34 Wait for Jehovah, and keep his way, And he will exalt thee to inherit the land: When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it. (Notice we inherit the Land before the wicked are cut off. The crucifiers have a job to do but their reward follows like it was with Judas.) 35 I have seen the wicked in great power And spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil. (Judas had the money of the righteous in his pocket but it was used to bury him.) 36 But one passed by, and, lo, he was not: Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. (Jesus passed by and Judas did not follow.) 37 Mark the perfect man and behold the upright; For there is a happy end to the man of peace. 38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together; The end of the wicked shall be cut off. (Look at the DS and so it will be with the DS claiming to be the Church.). 39 But the salvation of the righteous is of Jehovah; He is their stronghold in the time of trouble. 40 And Jehovah helpeth them, and rescueth them; He rescueth them from the wicked, and saveth them, Because they have taken refuge in him. (Abide in Him Saints and be happy.)

Sunday, January 8, 2023 - As we are beginning a new year, this is always a time of reflection on old things passing and new things ahead. The writer of Hebrews understands how things change from old seasons to new seasons, especially considering how Jesus fulfilled the OLD covenant of yearly animal sacrifices with the NEW covenant of His blood atoning for mankind's sin. Think about the early church when they first realized that the requirement of yearly animal sacrifices was no longer necessary because Jesus became the one-time sacrifice. When God tore the curtain separating the Holy of Holies from top to bottom, He ushered all men directly into His Holy presence through the "curtain of Jesus." This is life-changing from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant. The writer then encourages all believers to come together even more so in corporate worship as the Day of the Lord draws near. That's the encouragement of this message that we would recommit ourselves to God and as a church body as we prepare for what 2023 has in store. The enemy is out to divide and destroy, but God has a plan of redemption to gather us together as the Church that He is coming back for...

This is life-changing from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant. The writer then encourages all believers to come together even more so in corporate worship as the Day of the Lord draws near. That's the encouragement of this message that we would recommit ourselves to God and as a church body as we prepare for what 2023 has in store. The enemy is out to divide and destroy, but God has a plan of redemption to gather us together as the Church that He is coming back for...
The world is full of evil, hatred, and being hated for following Christ is on the rise. We have a great hope in knowing that Christ is on our side and that no weapon formed against us is going to prosper. We must trust in God and His Holy word to carry us through until He returns. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/stacey-gibson3/message
Overcoming to be in the Bride (2) (Audio) David Eells - 11/27/22 God Is Not in a House of Unforgiveness Winnie Osegueda - 9/27/22 (David's notes in red) Before I fell asleep I asked the Lord for a dream to help the body. In this dream I was in a hallway area beside the UBM ministry and on a table there were the basic components and plans for a building structure such as: a foundation, floors, walls, beams, columns, roof, stairs, etc, and you could take these components outside and build a house. (This represents building your own house apart of "David's house”.) I picked one that people call a "tiny house" and it was made out of unfinished wood and was not painted. In my mind, I was going to use this house to spend some personal time with the Lord and seek Him in prayer. (I believe the Lord was correcting me for missing fellowship because of some trials I was having.) (We can't use times of trial as an excuse to skip fellowshipping with the body of Christ. Heb. 10:24-25 let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works; 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another ; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh. 26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more a sacrifice for sins) This small house had large cracks and even a gaping triangular shaped hole in the wall. (Cracks and holes represent openings that allow the enemy to come in.) There was also a very tiny key to use to enter the door, however, the keyhole was in the wrong spot, well below where the keyhole was supposed to be. So this was a terrible job done on a house with a bad foundation. (The tiny key represents an inferior version of the key of David. The inferior version will not allow us to bind and loose the enemy, as we will see. Rev. 3:7 And to The Messenger of the assembly in Philadelphia write: 'Thus says The Holy One, The True One, he who has the key of David, The One who opens and there is none who shuts, and he shuts and there is none who opens.' If the foundation is faulty then the whole rest of the house will not be right. We must build our house on the foundation of Christ and obedience to the truth of His Word. 1Co. 3:11 ...For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.) I took these building materials and went outside. It was a very dreary day and cloudy with no sun. (Apart from the sun/Son we can do nothing. John 15:5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing.) I built this tiny house very quickly and I went in. (Representing being hasty. Pro. 21:5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; But every one that is hasty hasteth only to want.) When I opened the front door of this tiny house, there was a wooden staircase leading downstairs to a basement. (A basement is underground and represents descending to the earthly flesh nature.) I went downstairs to pray, but then I heard someone trying to come in and I was immediately startled. (Our prayers are ineffective if we are in some form of disobedience or separated from the Body in some way and the enemy gains easy access to our spiritual house.) I looked up the stairs and saw that two men had opened the door to the tiny house to enter; one black man and the other Hispanic looking. (This represents the enemy who is submitted to darkness. Rom. 6:16 Know ye not, that to whom ye present yourselves as servants unto obedience, his servants ye are whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?) I knew they were trouble and were there to harm me, and so I distracted them by running up the stairs yelling, "Daddy! Daddy!" as I ran outside and to the right. (Gal. 4:6 And because ye are sons, God sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, Abba, Father.) I did this so that they would think twice before they attempted to attack me because I had someone around to protect me. (When we repent and get back on the “right" and call out to God, we will have His protection once more. Psa. 34:6 This poor man cried, and Jehovah heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles.) As I yelled out “Daddy", in the dream, I thought about my husband Chuc. (Although he is my husband, I believe yelling out Daddy represented me crying out to the Lord who is our heavenly Husband. This was showing that the Lord was not in this tiny house, but outside of it. Any other house with any other foundation not rooted in the Word of God is a house where the enemy is able to break into.) End of dream. When I woke up I asked the Lord what was this about and was there a disconnect in my spiritual walk that I was not understanding or was not aware of and asked him for a verse by faith at random and received: Eph. 4:31 (In context 31-32) Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and railing, be put away from you, with all malice: 32 and be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving each other, even as God also in Christ forgave you I believe the Lord was warning me and reminding me not to entertain any thoughts of offense towards anyone. (This will result in faction which separates us from Christ and His Body.) During the last meeting we had, I was being attacked pretty heavily. It was fiery dart after fiery dart, and so I just praised the Lord through it and was fighting and casting it down. It did not feel like my own thoughts, but an attack. I asked the Lord for chapter by faith at random and landed on Colossians 3, which also speaks of forgiving one another: Colossians 3:1-25 If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. 3 For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory. 5 Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry; 6 for which things' sake cometh the wrath of God upon the sons of disobedience: 7 wherein ye also once walked, when ye lived in these things; 8 but now do ye also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, railing, shameful speaking out of your mouth: 9 lie not one to another; seeing that ye have put off the old man with his doings, 10 and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him: 11 where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, bondman, freeman; but Christ is all, and in all. 12 Put on therefore, as God's elect, holy and beloved, a heart of compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, longsuffering; 13 forbearing one another, and forgiving each other, if any man have a complaint against any; even as the Lord forgave you, so also do ye: 14 and above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfectness. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to the which also ye were called in one body; and be ye thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly; in all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts unto God. 17 And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. 18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. 20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord. 21 Fathers, provoke not your children, that they be not discouraged. 22 Servants, obey in all things them that are your masters according to the flesh; not with eye-service, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord: 23 whatsoever ye do, work heartily, as unto the Lord, and not unto men; 24 knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ. 25 For he that doeth wrong shall receive again for the wrong that he hath done: and there is no respect of persons. And the last verse I received by faith at random was: Deu 8:6 And thou shalt keep the commandments of Jehovah thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. Playing the "Game" in a Dump and Smashing the Competition Claire Pienaar - 6/27/22 (David's notes in red) (In this dream, Claire represents the Bride because her name means “brilliant” and the Bride's garments are bright and pure as is spoken of in Rev. 19:8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.) I dreamed that my family was on our way to a tennis match. (A Tennis match represents spiritual warfare and the ability to effectively return the fiery darts of the enemy in competition for our eternal salvation. ) We parked our car, and we were called up to go play on top of a rubbish dump. (As we will see, the Apostate Churches' foundation is built upon a big pile of garbage.) It was rather sad. (Riaan: I think this dream is about a type of “face-off” or “battle” between the true church that has been practicing doing spiritual warfare for a long time and is very prepared versus the apostate churches who built their “church” on the rubbish of the world.) We were clean and properly clothed for the occasion and we had practiced. (Heb. 12:11 All chastening seemeth for the present to be not joyous but grievous; yet afterward it yieldeth peaceable fruit unto them that have been exercised thereby, even the fruit of righteousness.) It seemed our whole family was playing, so we had strength in numbers. I don't know what “group tennis” would look like in the natural, but in the dream my family was divvied up to play doubles and triples, so that we beat more opponents more quickly. (Eph. 4:15-16 ...but speaking truth in love, we may grow up in all things into him, who is the head, even Christ; 16 from whom all the body fitly framed and knit together through that which every joint supplieth, according to the working in due measure of each several part, maketh the increase of the body unto the building up of itself in love.) It was easy because the other families were fragmented. (Luk. 11:17 ...Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house divided against a house falleth.) There were many “weekend dads” who did not understand their daughters' non-verbal or body language clues of unhappiness, embarrassment, or frustration. (These “weekend dads” represent the the false shepherds who “climb up another way.” Joh. 10:1 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.) There were many moms who were very judgmental about the surroundings. (Representing Jezebel the mother of the apostates.) One family lived right next to this rubbish dump. ... They deceived many into thinking their home was worth so much more than it was. (The apostate churches deceive many into thinking their religion is valuable with their fancy buildings, but they are founded on the rubbish of false religious doctrines and their “stinking' thinkin'.) Everyone had to walk through their home to get to the rubbish dump to play tennis. (Many have passed through the garbage house of apostate Christianity on their way out to maturity in Christ.) I remember looking at the house as I walked through and I was thinking, “It's like a giant sinkhole. It'll collapse any minute”. (Religion is a “sinkhole” that keep people buried in their earthly or fleshly natures. Many never escape dead religion.) It was perfectly decorated inside but it was hollow, and the foundation had crumbled away due to neglect. (Heb. 2:3 ...how shall we escape, if we neglect so great a salvation?) … (Riaan: The apostates are not prepared, they don't see what is coming. They are not looking after their fruit, and have no idea how to have faith.) We finished the games, and I think our family wiped out all the opponents. I walked back to the car, so excited for us to move on. The coach gave us a plastic, laminated piece of paper that detailed all the next tournament's events. (The laminated paper represents being saved and protected from the waters of judgement meant for the apostates and the world) I was holding onto it. (These are the promises. We must hold onto them by faith). Everyone else from my family was at the van waiting for me. ... I passed a man who had his daughter for the day and when he saw me, he yelled to another single dad, “I am so glad you don't make any effort mate. I hate these types with their laminated sheets and water bottles. They're so prepared for everything”. (Many who are critical in their minds, throw their words around and vail their hatred in sarcasm. (Pro. 26:18-19 Like a madman who throws firebrands, arrows and death, 19 So is the man who deceives his neighbor, And says, “Was I not joking?”) … These men were dressed completely in black, and their daughters were dirty and unkept. (The factious apostate Church leadership has “dirty children and their churches are the “dirty daughters of the Harlot.) …One started mouthing off about how pathetic people like me are. (Riaan: They walk in darkness and are coming against the Bride with witchcraft and slandering.) He finished by saying, “Our kids don't need structure or care; they just need to get out there and get dirty”. (Eze. 34:2-5 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe unto the shepherds of Israel that do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the sheep? 3 Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill the fatlings; but ye feed not the sheep. 4 The diseased have ye not strengthened, neither have ye healed that which was sick, neither have ye bound up that which was broken, neither have ye brought back that which was driven away, neither have ye sought that which was lost; but with force and with rigor have ye ruled over them. 5 And they were scattered, because there was no shepherd; and they became food to all the beasts of the field, and were scattered.) I walked back to the van, saddened that these people thought I was “too prepared”. I asked Riaan about it, and he said, “We're the ones getting out of the dump. They're stuck here. Now let's go”. Then I woke up. (Riaan: The Bride and her fruit easily overcome these spirits.) I asked the Lord for a verse by faith at random, and my finger landed on Est. 8:2 And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman. Cleaning up the Garbage Leads to the Anointing Claire Pienaar - 11/17/22 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was watching David teach in a little white home. ... (Representing the house of David who are the pure and righteous first fruits which is made up of a small group of people.) I was sitting on a white bench with Riaan and another person. David was doing a “live” talk. (Representing speaking the "rivers of Living Water.” That give life to the hearers.) Riaan and I then started cleaning and sorting out everything in this little house. Then we went outside and I saw David's son (Representing those who are born of the David Man-child reformers.) He drove a white garbage truck and he was picking up everyone's refuse in the area. He pulled his truck into David's yard and stopped. … (The Man-child David reformers will first clean up the house of David and then the 'sons' of that house will clean everyone else up in the Body of Christ. Jesus sent out His spiritual seed to do this.) Many people then left this residential area and there was so much to clean. (As Jesus' spiritual sons were sent out to clean up the Body of Christ, so it will be that the Man-child reformers and their disciples will work to clean up the Body of Christ. Part of this cleaning process is not only sanctifying the people but also separating the tares from the wheat.) David's son left then, and we had to use the truck. We were also given David's son's home, which was right next to David's house. (Because they, too, were sons of David.) Riaan was given the truck by David and I sat in the passenger seat. I then saw a golden oil over Riaan, David and I. David said, “Because you have cleaned, you are anointed. Because you have served, you are anointed”. (The anointing comes when the garbage is purged from the house of David.) Then the dream ended. I received by faith at random: Mark 10:19, (in context 17-23) And as he was going forth into the way, there ran one to him, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? 18 And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good save one, even God. 19 Thou knowest the commandments, Do not kill, Do not commit adultery, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Do not defraud, Honor thy father and mother. 20 And he said unto him, Teacher, all these things have I observed from my youth. 21 And Jesus looking upon him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 22 But his countenance fell at the saying, and he went away sorrowful: for he was one that had great possessions. 23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! (We have no time left to indulge in the world or its pleasures. We only have time to bring in the harvest and go home.) Escaping Apostasy to be Chosen for the Bride Samuel Fire - 11/17/22 (David's notes in red) I dreamed that Tiannah and I were separated in our own rooms far apart from each other. (Representing the factious, apostate church system that we start out in which keeps believers separated through denominational divisions.) We were in a very strict and oppressive place; like a prison. (Apostate religion is a prison with many rules and regulations that prevent people from being free to be led by the Spirit.) It had a factory in the center. (Factories churn out many “cookie cutter” items. They all look alike.) The water was so polluted and green and very poisonous and hazardous. It was channeled by a man-made canal. (The polluted water represents perversions of the Word in man-made apostate religion. Eze. 32:18 Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet?) Everywhere had concrete flooring and metal walls and roofs; no plants or animals. (Everything in the apostate church systems is man-made, dead and has no life in it.) The only people around were workers and there was no supervisor or higher-ups. (This represents justification by works with no supervision from the Holy Spirit.) No-one was happy. (The apostates have no joy of the Lord because they are in bondage to self-works.) The sky was overcast and the sun/Son could not shine through. (2Co. 4:3-4 And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled in them that perish: 4 in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn upon them.) Everything was automated where possible. (Representing the mindlessness of rote religion, which is a mechanical or habitual repetition of something to be learned.) Security was with drones and check-points with very high walls with barbed wire and metal doors which only opened at certain times with a unique code. (This place represents the spiritual prison of apostate religion.) (They do everything to make you believe that they have the truth and that you really can't go anywhere else.) This place was so horrible and we wore hazmat suits ... with a helmet ... gloves and boots all the time unless we were in our rooms. (Yes. Religion provides a toxic environment that causes spiritual death.) The rooms had a code lock and the doors were like a submarine and the size of the room was so tiny it could barely fit a bed, shower, and toilet with a locker for the hazmat suits. Nothing else would fit in the room. There were no comforts and no windows just an artificial ceiling light. (There is no comforter there. The Holy Spirit is not allowed. They do not believe in the good news of the Gospel which comforts us. Their light of the Word is artificial because it is not the real thing.) The sleeping areas were divided into sections and there was a center area for work. ...The entire facility felt like a prison with a work factory in the center. (They don't understand the “continual Sabbath rest” and they are divided up into sects and are separated from Christ. Justification by works is the central theme of apostate religion. Gal. 5:4 Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace.) We had to leave our rooms for the assigned job at an exact time or miss out on any chance for food or water and even risk being forced onto the streets. (Many apostate churches and their leadership are so rigid in their belief systems that, if you start asking questions about what the Bible says, refuting their doctrines, they will kick you out of their churches.) I was assigned to work as a pump operator for the water and liquid waste. (They want everyone to propagate their toxic waters and pump it out to others to try and ensnare more people into their religious system.) I pressed switches and pulled levers and checked gauges with cameras and a computer giving out data. (They manipulate people, especially with the tithe.) I had no breaks and had to stand in a tiny area where I could barely move or stretch. (The Nicolaitan preachers don't want people to grow up into maturity in Christ because they will lose their control over them.) When my time was completed for the job, I had to race to the open, concrete courtyard to an automated chute where the daily rations were distributed and then the door quickly shut. The first ones there got fed but many more people would miss out. (Representing that they swallow the Word like a pig without ruminating on it and don't really take the time to meditate on it so they miss out on what God is trying to show them.) The food and water were so basic; completely flavorless and odorless and looked grayish. (This represents lifeless food and not living water.) There were break-outs of many people being infected with something and acting mindless, like zombies (Most of these people have no faith in God to preserve them or heal them and as such they have taken the vaccines which ultimately brings one to this exact description of mindless zombies.) They would be in very large groups swarming different areas and breaking things and over running buildings into the dangerous and polluted water. These infected people were once workers who were exposed to something that kept spreading. (A little leaven leavens the whole lump.) So many times, the infected would cause forced lockdowns and everyone who could, would run for safety to the next section in the facility. (Many who recognize that something is off in today's churches flee to other churches or fellowships trying to escape the “infection”, only to find more of the same. 2Ti. 3:5-7 holding a form of godliness, but having denied the power thereof. From these also turn away. 6 For of these are they that creep into houses, and take captive silly women laden with sins, led away by divers lusts, 7 ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.) There would then be a type of clean-up which was some sort of automated system that basically destroyed all with a giant fire.(If anyone attempts to bring in truth, they stamp it out and change the subject. Nothing to see here! Like the Pharisees.) Whenever I could, I would meet up with Tiannah and we would discuss and pray on any way possible out of this place or for a better type of living arrangement. I heard there was an opportunity to work in a better position and have my room in the same building as Tiannah, so I applied and was accepted. (If you petition the Father and seek after the Truth you will find it. But many times this happens in stages and not all at once. Religion is like the playpen of Christianity; once you begin to mature and recognize the spiritual dangers of apostate religion you can be promoted to better “living conditions”. Mat. 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.) I was then working in my own office and had more room. I could sit down and do much more computer work and could see more details of the facility. (When we understand the good news of the Gospel, it sets us free and we have more room to grow in Christ and we have more discernment to see all the flaws of man-made religion.) After what seemed to be over a year of this, I met with Tiannah and we heard of a secret meeting; where people would be in a type of clan where new members would be selected to their group and given a much better living environment. (The hidden or secret clan represents the family of the Bride of Christ who dwells in heavenly places and not on the earth. This is the much better living environment.) The offer was good and we had to find this secret meeting room. (In the Bible Esther was a type of the Bride and her name means "hidden".) (Representing Mount Zion or secret Place of The Most High.) (Rev. 21:2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.). It was a very big challenge. (We enter the Kingdom through much tribulation.) Tiannah and I snuck out, climbed over various walls and over barbed wire areas with automated sensors. (The demonic enemies puts up many spiritual road blocks and snares to prevent us from coming into the Bride Body.) We crawled through ventilation shafts. (The word for spirit is “breath” and Jesus compared the Spirit of God to wind. Going through ventilation shafts represents being filled with the Holy Spirit and led into closer relationship with God.) We had to shimmy through pipes over the green lethal water and into the other sections of the facility. (This represents overcoming the false doctrines and beliefs that we learned in the apostate religious system.) We did this for days with no sleep and no food or water besides that which we had brought with us. (This represents intercessory prayer with fasting and death to self. All this is necessary to reach the Bride. Heb. 12:14 Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:) We managed to locate the secret meeting room and had to get on top of the building's roof and swing into a specific window to get in. Once inside, there were about 50 people crowded together and there were 4 lines of people. (As we will see, these 4 lines of people represent the 4 types of ground that the Sower's seed fell upon.) Tiannah spoke to me and felt a certain one to choose. I agreed and we lined up behind 3 others. Those 3 were denied and not allowed into the clan and it was now our turn. (Many are called but few chosen). A muscular and tall man tested both of us with pats across the shoulders and back and all over; squinting at us. Then suddenly, a lady (a representative of the corporate Bride Body) behind him told him to stop. She motioned to both of us to come over to her. She said, "I feel you both are good and you are to come with us. Something in my spirit tells me to.” (The Bride has good discernment which helps her to recognize true “Bride material.”) I replied, "Oh really? You know about the spiritual?” (The Bride is very acquainted with the Spirit of God because she only receives the seed of her husband, Jesus.) Then Tiannah and I went with them to their building. It was a communal living environment. (Representing everything in common like the first century Book of Acts Church and being One in Christ's Spirit.) They had tables and chairs and a fridge and much better comforts than what we had before. We both were so thankful to God and knew from then on everything was going to be way better. (2Co. 13:11 Finally, brethren, ... Be perfected; be comforted; be of the same mind; live in peace: and the God of love and peace shall be with you.) I then woke up. Be of Good Cheer; I Have Overcome the World Vanessa Weeks - 2/19/22 (David's notes in red) I dreamed that my husband, Barry, and I, were asleep in bed at night. (Representing being at rest in trials and tribulations). I was awakened in the dream by the loud sound of a white supersonic jet flying above our area. (An example of overcoming the world.) I thought it was very unusual for this kind of jet to fly ... this late at night. (Overcoming seems unusual and feels difficult in the dark trials of our lives.) I knew in the dream that it was a fighter jet and going to help others who were already fighting. I prayed, "Lord, be with them to bring about what is best for your people.” (The overcomers are fighters who overcome in their personal trials so that they can help others overcome in theirs.) Then I thought Barry was awake also because of the noise, and he got up but as he was leaving the room, I realized it was not him but Lakeisha. (Barry represents our heavenly husband, Jesus, who dwells in His Bride and helps her to overcome joyfully.) (Lakeisha means happy or joyful. John 16:33 These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Also, Keisha is most likely a variant of Keziah. (Keziah originates in Hebrew language and means "cassia tree". Cassia is an evergreen tree. Representing eternal life.) Keziah was one of Job's daughters that the Lord gave him after his tribulation. Job 42:13-15 He had also seven sons and three daughters. 14 And he called the name of the first, Jemimah: and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch. 15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.) Father, help us to be of good cheer in our tribulation because you have overcome the world! Thank you, in Jesus name, Amen. Abraham's Example to the Bride Claire Pienaar - 10/26/22 (David's notes in red) I had a vision that I was in a large undercover training pool. (We are under the covering of Jesus' blood [being washed in the water of the Word.]) Father Abraham was in the lane next to me. (Gal. 3:26-29 For ye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ. 28 There can be neither Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye all are one man in Christ Jesus. 29 And if ye are Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, heirs according to promise.) I was in the pool, swimming laps in a weightless, white garment. (1Jn 1:7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. My garment is weightless because it says in Mat 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.) My hair was turning grey, but my face still looked young. (The Bride is growing in wisdom [represented by the grey hair] but still retaining her beauty.) Abraham was encouraging me to continue. I was sweating and breathing hard, even though my body seemed to do the swimming strokes with ease and proficiency. (Christ's nature becomes our “second nature”, familiar and easy. Like Php. 3:12-14 Not that I have already obtained, or am already made perfect: but I press on, if so be that I may lay hold on that for which also I was laid hold on by Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before,14 I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.) (The Bible points us to father Abraham as an example of great faith in the promises of God. Gal. 3:6-9 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. 7 Know therefore that they that are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all the nations be blessed. 9 So then they that are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.) I said, “This is so hard!” because I was out of breath and tiring (We need refilling of the Holy Spirit; the enemy will wear us down by getting us into self works). (True. We must not focus on our own ability to please God and live righteously or we will fall into self-works and self-justification and we will fail.) Abraham replied, “Yes, but keep going. Just keep swimming. Your reward will be made full!” (Gal. 6:9 And let us not be weary in well-doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.) He got out of the pool then, and he was wearing the same light pink tunic and sandals he wore when he visited me in a vision in 2018. (Light pink represents the love of Christ). I knew then that it was Abraham for sure. He said, “Don't get out until you're done”. I said, “Why are you getting out?” And he replied, “My faith is complete, and my race is finished”. (Heb 6:13-15 For when God made promise to Abraham, since he could swear by none greater, he sware by himself, 14 saying, Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply thee. 15 And thus, having patiently endured, he obtained the promise.) (Riaan: We must each run our own race and endure unto the end). I asked the Lord for a word by faith at random for this dream, and received Mat. 13:32, (in context 31-32) Another parable set he before them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like unto a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 32 which indeed is less than all seeds; but when it is grown, it is greater than the herbs, and becometh a tree, so that the birds of the heaven come and lodge in the branches thereof. (Even though we feel our faith is small or ineffective, according to what we see, if we endure to the end, we will produce much fruit for the Kingdom of God.) Praying in Tongues Re-writes Our Spiritual Code Samuel and Tiannah Fire - 10/28/22 (David's notes in red) This is a vision I got while driving with Tianna and little David and we were praying in Holy Spirit tongues. He showed me how, not many understand [how tongues work in the spirit realm.] It is like how I can [alter things] through computer coding. I saw us re-coding the imperfections and corruption [in us and our situations] as we drove [along] and spoke in tongues. (The gift of tongues is powerful to effect postive change in our lives and situations. Not only is it our “spoken word” but it's a heavenly language that prays the perfect will of God into existence.) We were updating and patching all the areas [of our lives] with what we speak; clearing out the corrupted and vulnerable [codes] and the abuse from all witchcraft [and curses sent against us] and replacing them with His ultimate security; reclaiming it back for His Kingdom. (In this way we overcome the darkness with the light.) I saw how everywhere we went on the drive, the whole time speaking [in tongues], wrote a blessing and returned it upon the enemy; blocking and destroying the witchcraft. When we speak His Holy language, His power goes out and is eternal, unstoppable, infinite, and perfect. This encouraged us to do this not only to get in His presence and praise Him, but also to restore and be His conduit for power; for Him and His glory. We have an Open Heaven Vanessa Weeks -10/19/22 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I was standing on our deck outside our apartment. (This deck, in other dreams, is where I've prayed.) It was much bigger than in real life. (Whether we realize it or not, our prayers, when mixed with the faith of God, are much bigger and more powerful than we understand.) The deck was made all of wood, like it is, but went out much farther, and there was a semicircle shaped extension to the deck, on the right. It had different colors of wood in it and was very attractive looking. I walked over to it and stood there looking out. It was like an observation point. (Representing discerning what we see in the world and then we are able to pray about those things as we enter into heavenly places.) Then I saw there were wooden stairs in the middle of the deck. These were going up, and I saw Michael on the stairs so I followed him up. (Michael's name means, “who is like God” and he represents those who have the nature of Jesus and who have an open heaven to their prayers.) There were flights of stairs and at the end of each set, there was the semicircle balcony landing on the right, for observation. As I climbed higher, I was shown a bird's eye view of the whole scene. The flights of stairs went way up into the sky, and Michael remained ahead of me. (This represents that as we draw closer to God in faith and prayer, the more discernment and maturity we have to see the “bigger picture” of His plan.) I asked the Lord what He wanted to say about this dream and received by faith at random Mat. 7:7-8 Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. (As we see a bigger view of the need, we should always pray.) As I thought on this scripture, I remembered Michael always saying, "We have an open heaven." I believe the Lord was showing me that as we ask in faith, we are climbing into the open heaven and when we persevere, we receive. As I was listening to David's audio, Advance or Lose Ground, at the 17:34 mark, David speaks of Mat. 7:7, and then I remembered this dream above. Below is a portion of the transcript of, Advance or Lose Ground: At the 14:35 mark, David said, "A life time of prayer mounts up. People who pray, get a lot of answers. People who don't pray, do without. It says, You have not because you ask not. (James 4:2) Think about that, ... The Lord says for this reason, 'Pray without ceasing.' Some people's idea of prayer is wrong. (i.e. they have a wrong idea about what prayer looks like.) But prayer can be anywhere from in your thoughts; continually praying about the things you see around you, the things that come to your mind, the people that come to your mind, etc. Why would God tell us to pray without ceasing if He was not going to answer the prayers? And why, if we believed that He would answer prayer, would we not pray without ceasing? He said, "You have not because you ask not."(James 4:2) Meaning, just ask! Jesus told His disciples to ask so that their joy would be made full. (Joh 15:11) Eph 6:18 with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints. That's a pretty broad statement, that He wants us to pray always for all the saints. And persevere, meaning, pray, believe you have received, pray for other things, believe you have received and persevere in prayer. Don't take no for an answer. Php 4:6 says, In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. Thanksgiving is important because thanksgiving is believing you have received. The Greek word "deesis" is translated supplication and means to seek, ask, entreat. It's not just a prayer, it's an effectually fervent prayer, right? Seek, ask, entreat, which reminds us of the promise of Jesus in Mat. 7:7 He says, Ask, and it shall be given you; Wow! think about that. Does that not give you faith? Faith comes of hearing and hearing by the word (Rom. 10:17) That's right out of the mouth of our Lord Jesus Christ! Seek and you shall find! The reason people don't pray is that they don't believe this. Believers have special privileges with God for themselves and for others and one of these privilege is that they can come boldly before the throne and ask for help in time of need. (Heb. 4:16) And the reason they do that is because they're believers. Non- believers can play the religion game, but they wouldn't pray. Because they don't believe what Jesus said here Seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you." Overcomers Put on Bridal Garments Anonymous - 5/11/12 (David's notes in red) A little while back, David taught on what was beautiful to the Lord. It brought to my remembrance a dream I had back in 2010, where the Lord was giving me understanding about what is pleasing and beautiful to Him. (This is criteria for the choosing of the Bride.) I dreamed that an angel of the Lord took me to Heaven. We were going down a long hallway and at the end of the hallway I could see a door. I could barely see that something was written on the door, but I was still too far away to make it out. As we got closer, I could see that it had my name in big, bold letters on the door. The angel said, “This is your room. Go ahead and open the door". I stood there for a few seconds while it registered in my brain that the angel said this was MY room. "WOW! I have a room!" I said. The angel said again, "Go ahead. Open the door and go in". So I opened the door and took a few steps inside the room. Directly in front of me I saw a row of drawers with handles. It reminded me of a post office where they have all the little cubbyholes for the mail, except these cubbies were drawers that had handles. I stood there looking at these drawers for a few minutes, as I wasn't sure what to do next. The angel of the Lord said, "Go ahead and open the drawers; they are your drawers to open". So I opened the first drawer and reached inside and pulled out a piece of paper that was rolled up. I unrolled the paper and up at the top of the paper it read, "Certificate of Completion". So I read down a little further and it read, “You have successfully overcome anger." and there was a stamp that read COMPLETED across the certificate, making it a formal document; it reminded me of a high school diploma. I thought to myself, WOW! I've overcome anger! How cool is that?! I was so excited by this that I turned around and showed it to the angel. He just laughed, since he was happy that I was so excited. He said to me, “There are more drawers. Go ahead and open them all; they belong to you". So I proceeded to open the drawers and when I opened the last drawer and pulled out the rolled certificate, it read, "Incomplete. Needs more work". I very slowly read the certificate to see what it contained. It read, "Self Condemnation - incomplete, needs a little more work". I knew this was true. Even as a child, I had a way of punishing myself more than anyone; I took so much to heart and had so much guilt and suffered from lack of love and self-worth. The angel cheered me up; He said, "Look, it says you need “a LITTLE more work". He was so nice to me and instantly I felt better. I said, "Oh, thank you, Lord, for showing me what I have overcome and what I still need to work on". After I finished opening all the drawers, I looked around the room and saw a treasure chest. It was beautiful and had all kinds of different jewels on the outside. I got down on my knees and ran my hands across the treasure chest; I just wanted to touch those beautiful jewels. The angel had been standing behind me and I turned around to look up at him and he was smiling down at me. He said, “That is YOUR treasure chest. Go ahead an open it". I was so overwhelmed. I just wrapped my arms around the chest for a few minutes. The angel seemed to understand and just stood patiently waiting. Finally, I carefully opened the lid and looked into the chest; it was full of beautiful garments. (Which represent righteous hearts and works of purity.) I reached in and pulled out the first garment; it read, "Anger has been overcome". I held it up to my body and as soon as I did, it conformed itself to my body and fit like a glove. The angel told me that I looked so beautiful in that garment. He said to me, "Go ahead and try on the next one". So I did. As I tried on each of the garments, they all fit because they were made JUST FOR ME! How humbling this is! We really do have treasure in Heaven. (Notice that our treasure is for those who dwell in heavenly places in Christ and put on the life of Christ.) The Lord loves us so much! God will dress in beautiful garments those who overcome sin by His grace. Isaiah 52:1 Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city (The Bride - Revelation 21:9,10): for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. No one unclean or uncircumcised or sowing flesh will be in the Bride. Jude 1:23 and some save, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. The righteous hate to be displeasing to the Father. Revelation 3:5 He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Overcoming is represented by white garments and eternal life. 3:4 But thou hast a few names in Sardis that did not defile their garments: and they shall walk with me in white; for they are worthy. Those whose works are pure and undefiled walk in white. 16:15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walked naked, and they see his shame. Like being in the wedding feast and not having a wedding garment on. 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. Nakedness represents sin, as does dark spots on a white garment. We must give our old life to receive our new life. Zechariah 3:3 Now Joshua (representing the body of Jesus) was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the angel. 4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take the filthy garments from off him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with rich apparel. God has accomplished our perfection through Christ and now we must take advantage of this by faith and repentance. Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with a garland, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels. The white garment is the garment of manifested salvation. 59:6 Their webs shall not become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands. The wicked "Christians'" works of righteousness are not enough to cover their nakedness. Ecc.9:8 Let thy garments be always white; and let not thy head lack oil. Psalms 45:8 All thy garments [smell of] myrrh, and aloes, [and] cassia Exodus 29:29 And the holy garments of Aaron [Representing our High Priest, Jesus] shall be for his sons after him, to be anointed in them, and to be consecrated in them. 19:10 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Go unto the people, and sanctify them to-day and to-morrow, and let them wash their garments. In the text, this was so they could meet the Lord on the third day. Genesis 49:11 Binding his foal unto the vine, And his ass's colt unto the choice vine; He hath washed his garments in wine, And his vesture in the blood of grapes. Meaning, wash your garments in the blood of Jesus, signified by wine. 27:15 And Rebekah took the goodly garments of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son. Jacob was given the anointing and double portion of Esau. 35:2 Then Jacob said unto his household, and to all that were with him, Put away the foreign gods that are among you, and purify yourselves, and change your garments. Turn from idols of religion and change your garments. Deuteronomy 22:5 A woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment; for whosoever doeth these things is an abomination unto Jehovah thy God. Beware of putting on the nature and acts of the opposite sex. God describes this as an abomination. Psalms 73:6 Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; Violence covereth them as a garment. Pride, judging, criticism, railing, are spiritual violence against others: it is a polluted garment. 109:18 He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment, And it came into his inward parts like water, And like oil into his bones. They reap what they sow. Isaiah 50:9 Behold, the Lord Jehovah will help me; who is he that shall condemn me? behold, all they shall wax old as a garment, the moth shall eat them up. Persecutors' garments will be destroyed by the curse. 59:17 And he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle. Before God we wear what we do. 61:3 to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that he may be glorified. 64:6 For we are all become as one that is unclean, and all our righteousnesses are as a polluted garment: and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, take us away. The unclean and polluted in actions are taken away by winds of doctrines and tribulations. We can wear the nature of evil spirits. Micah 2:8 But of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye strip the robe from off the garment from them that pass by securely [as men] averse from war. The wicked among God's people pervert souls and destroy garments of righteousness. Malachi 2:16 For I hate putting away, saith Jehovah, the God of Israel, and him that covereth his garment with violence, saith Jehovah of hosts: therefore take heed to your spirit, that ye deal not treacherously. Many divorce without the scriptural reason of fornication or the unbeliever departing. They are spotting their garment.. Matthew 22:11 But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment: 12 and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless. 27:35 And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments among them, casting lots. The wicked criticize and despise the actions of the righteous. Mark 2:21 No man seweth a piece of undressed cloth on an old garment: else that which should fill it up taketh from it, the new from the old, and a worse rent is made. Righteous acts on a sinner's garment are useless and cannot cover them. 10:50 And he, casting away his garment, sprang up, and came to Jesus. We must cast away our old life and come to Jesus. Jude 1:23 and some save, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh. We must hate the garment spotted by fleshly works and repent. Revelation 16:15 (Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walked naked, and they see his shame.) Get your garment ready; Jesus is coming soon! Prayer for Enemies Thwarted Debbie Fenske - 9/30/22 (David's notes in red) Thank you Lord that you are accomplishing your purposes in ... your elect, and in their troubles and persecutions you will cause many to turn to you, to seek you and acknowledge you. We know that our enemies are your enemies, and as they work to cut us off, to keep us from manifesting your glory, you Lord, will scatter and consume them and silence them, no matter how many are set against us. Thank you that you've shown us that we have a part in using our authority to cast down every enemy that rises up against us. And we thank you that many of the people who come against us ... will turn to you, and seek your name. Thank you for the victory we have over our spiritual enemies that we face each day. Thank you for your great mercy in helping us to overcome all the things that come against our minds, spirits and bodies.

Beloved, we are beginning a new Study entitled “The Stage Is Being Set!” in which we will be reviewing the many prophetic precursors that are unfolding with dramatic “Pay Attention” urgency, and giving heed to the people of God to be even more alert to the Holy Spirit's leading in this very critical time in the earth.By definition, to “set the stage” means “to prepare the conditions for the occurrence or beginning of something.” And without a doubt, the stage is being set for the appearance of the Antichrist, which means that our being “caught up” to meet the Lord in the air is closer now than it has ever been.Perhaps the most telling end-time precursor is the disheartening reality that the majority of what is generally known as the Church of Jesus Christ no longer believes or even cares about the Prophetic Word of God, or the need to witness to the lost. And that is because – but for His Holy and preserved Remnant – the Church has reached its full-blown Laodicea condition and is so saturated with the world, and wrapped up in its own self-centered wants and ambitions, that it is undistinguishable from the very darkness Lord Jesus paid so dearly to ransom it out of. Because of this, many who are part of this complacent company of self-named Christians, do not even realize the desperateness of the hour, nor do they test the spirits to be sure they are of God. And as a result, they are oblivious to the danger that is lurking behind every current day event corner.However, for those who have ears to hear, and spiritual eyes to see behind the veil of the enemy's lies and deceptions, it is becoming more and more obvious that we are living in the last moments on God's Prophetic Calendar, and that time is running out for the people of earth to make the eternal decision which will determine if they will spend forever with the God of Love in Heaven's Glory, or in Hell with Satan, the great deceiver and enemy of their soul.Support the showVisit our website: https://agapelightministries.com/

We camp in Philippians 4 and really discuss what we deserve and why we are so audacious to believe God owes us anything but His Holy and just wrath.... How can we be content? How can we be joyful no matter the circumstances? IS JESUS ENOUGH? Let's chat!
What's the difference between these two psalms? The act of sin. God established His Holy covenant with Israel in Psalm 24 but over time we can see that it was broken due to separation from Him through disobedience in Psalm 74. Let's make our way back to the God of Israel by washing our hands and purifying our hearts.
"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me bless His Holy name." David six times calls himself and all creation to bless the Lord. The God who is worthy of blessing is slow to anger. He doesn't deal with us according to our sins. He does not need us but in His mercy chooses us. And His perfect love is ours in Jesus. "Bless the Lord, O my soul..." This message was preached by Gabe Medina on March 6, 2022.
St Herman, for many the Patron of North America, was born near Moscow around 1756 to a pious merchant family, and entered monastic life at the age of sixteen, at the Trinity - St Sergius Lavra near St Petersburg. While there he was attacked by a cancer of the face, but the Mother of God appeared to him and healed him completely. He was tonsured a monk in 1783 with the name of Herman (a form of Germanos), and was received into Valaam Monastery on Lake Ladoga. After some time, he was allowed to withdraw to the life of a hermit in the forest, and only came to the monastery for feast days. In 1793, in response to a request by the Russian-American Commercial Company for missionaries to Alaska, Valaam Monastery was told to select a company of its best monks to travel to America. Eight were chosen, of whom the hermit Herman was one. The company crossed all of Siberia and , almost a year later, first saw Kodiak Island in September 1794. The missionaries set about their work, and found the native Aleut people so receptive to the Gospel of Christ that in the first year about 7,000 were baptized and 1,500 marriages performed. Despite severe hardships, the missionaries covered huge distances, on foot and in small boats, to reach the scattered fishing settlements of the Aleuts. In general they found a warm reception, but many of the pagan shamans opposed their message and sometimes stirred up the people against them. It was thus that the Priest-monk Juvenaly was killed in 1796, becoming the First Martyr of North America. Despite such opposition, the missionaries' major difficulty was with the Russian traders and settlers, who were in the habit of exploiting the Aleuts as they wished, and who had oppressed and disgusted the native people with their immoral behavior. When the missionaries came to the defense of the natives, they were repaid with the opposition of the Russian-American company, whose leadership put countless obstacles in the path of their work. In time, several of the company died at sea, and several more abandoned the mission in discouragement, leaving the monk Herman alone. He settled on Spruce Island near Kodiak, and once again took up the hermit's life, dwelling in a small cabin in the forest. He spent his days in prayer and mission work, and denied himself every fleshly comfort: he fasted often and lived on a diet of blackberries, mushrooms and vegetables (in Alaska!!). Despite these privations, he founded an orphanage and a school for the natives of the island, cared for the sick in epidemics, and built a chapel where he conducted divine services attended by many. (He was not a priest, but God made up the lack in miraculous ways: at Theophany, Angels descended to bless the waters of the bay, and the Saint would use the holy water to heal the sick). Asked if he was ever lonely or dejected in his solitude, and replied: "I am not alone; God is here as everywhere, and the Angels too. There is no better company." Saint Herman reposed in peace on Spruce island, at the age of eighty-one, in 1836. At the moment of his departure, his face was radiant with light, and the inhabitants nearby saw a pillar of light rising above his hermitage. His last wish was to be buried on Spruce Island. When some of his well-intended disciples attempted to take his relics back to Kodiak to be buried from the church there, a storm rose up and continued unabated until they had abandoned the plan and buried him as he desired. He was officially glorified in 1970, the first canonized American Saint. Saint Peter was a young Aleut convert to the Orthodox faith. In 1812 the Russian- American Company set up a post in California, where Russians and Aleuts farmed and traded to supply the needs of the Alaskans; Peter was one of these. The Spanish, who at the time ruled California, suspected the Russians of territorial ambitions, and in 1815 captured about twenty Orthodox Aleuts and took them to San Francisco. Fourteen of these were put to torture in an effort to convert them to the Roman Catholic faith. All refused to compromise their faith, and Peter and a companion were singled out for especially vicious treatment: Peter's fingers, then hands and feet, were severed, and he died from loss of blood, still firm in his confession. The Latins were preparing the same fate for the others when word came that they were to be transferred; eventually they returned to Alaska. When he heard a first-hand account of Peter's martyrdom, Saint Herman crossed himself and said "Holy New Martyr Peter, pray to God for us!" Saint Peter the Aleut is the first recognized Saint of American birth. St Herman appears several times on the Church's calendar. The Synaxis of St Herman and the American Protomartyrs is celebrated today. St Herman is commemorated on November 15, the day of his repose; but (partly because pilgrimage to Alaska is so difficult in the winter) the day of his glorification, July 27 / August 9 is kept there as his primary feast day. Following is a fragment of a conversation between St Herman and some officers of a Russian ship, recorded by his disciple Yanovsky; it includes perhaps the most familiar quotation from St Herman. "But do you love God?" asked the Elder. And all answered: "Of course we love God. How can we not love God?" "And I, a sinner, have tried to love God for more than forty years, and I cannot say that I perfectly love Him," answered Father Herman, and began to explain how one must love God. "If we love someone," he said, "then we always think of that one, we strive to please that one; day and night our heart is preoccupied with that object. Is it in this way, gentlemen, that you love God? Do you often turn to Him, do you always remember Him, do you always pray to Him and fulfill His Holy commandments?" We had to admit that we did not. "For our good, for our happiness," concluded the Elder, "at least let us give a vow to ourselves, that from this day, from this hour, from this minute, we shall strive above all else to love God and to do His Holy Will!" Saint Herman is also commemorated on December 12.
