The Tongue Conquers Enemies  (Audio) David Eells 9/22/24   A shaking is on the way. War appears to be breaking out on the surface.  The Covert war between the Alliance and the DS is likely to break out in larger overt operations. The DS has invaded the cities with terrorists and military-aged men and CCP Chinese along with others that are expanding the voter rolls within, in order to overthrow President Trump and the Alliance. They are preparing for terrorist acts because of the Brunson case has gone to the Supreme Court which will overthrow the DS government.  This from Operation Disclosure: The Brunson Brothers Voter Fraud Case before the Supreme Court asked a simple question: Did Congress investigate 50 formally filed allegations of voter fraud before certifying the 2020 Election? Obviously not, and rumor was that the Supreme Court had already ruled such on the case. We awaited an announcement likely in favor of Brunson that would dissolve the Biden Administration and all of Congress, plus bring in Martial Law until a new election was held.  Five separate assassination teams actively targeting President Trump. Three are foreign, two domestic. Three Assassination Attempts have come in the last few weeks. Your prayers and faith have cast down all five of these teams. President Trump is insulated.  Congressman Tim Burchett exposed the CIA's Sinister MK ULTRA plot to assassinate Trump! amg-news.com.  As we will see below your prayers and confession will cast most of the lawlessness down.  The DS anarchists plan on mass anarchy and destruction of cities and the Alliance military is being spread coast to coast before the announcement of the Supreme Court ruling in order to defend the cities and liberty from the lawless left who will not accept democracy. We cast down their weapons of warfare.     A New War Is Coming   Michael Boldea Jr. - 04/06/2007   Jeremiah 50:22 A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction. James 5:8 You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.   I dreamt I was hearing what were at first faint hoof beats, but the closer they got, the louder they grew, until it was a thundering roar of not one or two horses but what seemed like hundreds. I felt as though the ground beneath me was shaking from the onrushing horses, and the sound of them became so loud, that I suddenly awoke in my bed. As I blinked a few times, adjusting to the darkness in my room, I noticed a shadow at the foot of my bed. I blinked again, and there stood the same man I have seen on previous occasions, dressed in battle armor, his hands resting atop each other before him, on the hilt of his sword.   “What is the meaning of what I just dreamt?” I asked, somehow knowing he had come to give me the interpretation.   “What you heard”, he began, “were the chariots of war, and they are swiftly approaching. A new war is coming, but it will be unlike this present one. Speak as you have spoken, pray as you have prayed, and walk as you have walked for dark days will soon come upon the land to which you are returning. Even now their enemies plot, even now their enemies unite under one banner, and soon they will make their intentions known to the world. There is no refuge but in the Father, and He will guide and protect those who know His voice”. (And confess His promises.)  I blinked again, and the man was gone, and I was left to ponder the words I had heard. I struggled with whether I should make this dream public, for I know the reaction that some will have to it, and the last thing I desire is to stir fear in the heart of any man. After much prayer I felt I was supposed to publish the dream, and though some may receive it as a reason to fear, the true children of God will receive it for what it was, the forewarning of a loving Father, preparing His children for what is to come. God's desire for us is not ignorance, but rather knowledge, that we may prepare our hearts, in prayer and fasting, that we may draw closer to Him, that we make Him our place of refuge long before hardship forces us to seek one. The wise man prepares, while the foolhardy is caught unaware.   Jeremiah 19:15 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Behold, I will bring on this city and on all her towns all the doom that I have pronounced against it, because they have stiffened their necks that they might not hear My words.       Terrorists Hiding in the States   Michael Boldea Jr. - May 5, 2003  I dreamt I was on a very high ridge, with a great valley spanning out beneath me. The night was calm, the moon and stars shining brightly in the sky. As I looked around trying to get my bearings, I was stunned to see my grandfather (Dumitru Duduman) standing next to me. He looked young and vibrant, his hands in his pockets, and a smile on his face.   “Interesting times ahead my boy, interesting times ahead”, he said. For a minute I was so shocked I couldn't say anything. Finally I blurted out the only thing that came to mind, “They have been interesting ever since you left. Trial after trial, hardship after hardship”.   “Now you know how Jesus felt when He walked the earth”, he answered, “always doing good, always in the Father's will, yet always mocked and rejected, always misunderstood and despised. Besides, it was all a test anyway”.  “A test of what?” I asked.   “For you personally, God wanted to see if you would stay true to your calling even when all seemed lost. He was preparing you and purging you, refining you, for the time when He will use you, and speak to you as He spoke to me”.   Before I could say anything, he lifted his hand to stop me. His fingers were no longer crooked from his arthritis, they were straight, and normal.   “I know what you're going to say my boy, it's not what you want, it's not what you asked for. But you should know by now it is the task you were chosen for. In this you have no choice, besides where can you hide from the face of God? Men have tried before, look how it turned out in the end. To reject what God has planned for you is to deny God. You know what the consequences are”. Unable to find the words to answer, I simply nodded my understanding and allowed him to continue speaking.   “As for why the ministry had to go through what it went through, God has already spoken that to your heart. You already know the answer. God wants all that know of this work, to be certain of one thing. It is He who sustains it; it is He who blesses it, and not the hands of men or their gimmicks. Do you think any of it would still be here after all that has happened if not for God? Never doubt Gods promises concerning this work, or His ability to fulfill them. Hope in God never disappoints; hope in man always leads to disillusionment.” (Amen. God has been preparing and sanctifying His Reformers to be leaders for the soon coming tribulation.)   “Now for the reason I am here. I was sent to show you something. Look and see”, he said, pointing down to the valley below. As I looked, I saw the outline of a map of America then the outlines of states began taking shape. As I continued to watch this map solidify, small lights began to flicker on and off in some of the states. I recognized California, Illinois, Michigan, Arizona, Washington State, Florida, and New York, among the states that lit up. The light was rhythmic, almost like a homing beacon, constant in its progression. I continued watching the lights go on and off, waiting for something else to happen, but nothing did. Finally I said, “I don't understand. What does this mean?”   “These are the places where those who were sent here long ago, to bring fear and cause chaos, have situated themselves. They lay in waiting, planning and plotting destruction. They are as coiled serpents, looking forward to the hour when they will be loosed upon this nation. If God's children pray, once more will He delay the season of sorrow that is yet to come”. (I believe He has done this.)   We stood on the ridge in silence for a long time. After a while the lights stopped flickering in the valley below, and the map began to fade away. Suddenly my grandfather turned his head toward the east, and began to sniff the air as he used to do. “Storms coming my boy, and it's a bad one”, he said. “Now give an old man a hug and let me be on my way. Be vigilant and work while you still can, it's all God asks of any of His servants. If the Father wills it, we will speak again”.   As I hugged my grandfather, I began to hear the rumbling of a great storm. The sky darkened overhead, and the booming of thunder was now audible. In my dream I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, I was in my bed, awake. I wiped at my cheeks with the back of my hand, and realized I had been crying. As my eyes began to adjust to the dark, I saw that my wife was sitting up in bed, staring at me. When I asked her why she wasn't sleeping, she said I'd been talking in my sleep for over thirty minutes. I tried going back to sleep but sleep would not come. Finally I gave up trying, went into the kitchen and prayed until morning.   Over the past few days, I have spent much time in prayer as to whether I should share this dream or not. I believe that I am supposed to. My prayer is that no one would perceive it as a reason for fear, but rather a reason to hope. God hears the prayers of His children, and as long as He encourages us to pray, we must do so without reservation. The day will come, a day I anticipate with great dread, when God will speak to His children as He spoke to Jeremiah, and say do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry for them any longer. For now, while we still can, may we ceaselessly bring our petitions before the Lord.       Our Secret Place of Safety   David Eells   Everyone is looking for the place of safety in the tribulations to come. One man says the safe place is to be with the Ark of the Covenant, which is said to be in a Chapel next to St Mary of Zion, Ethiopian Orthodox Church in Axum, Ethiopia. I believe that Solomon gave a copy of the Ark to the Queen of Sheba who carried it there.   Be that as it may; God no longer dwells in houses made by men, so the ark is a relic. (Acts 7:47) But Solomon built him (God) a house. (48) Howbeit the Most High dwelleth not in [houses] made with hands. That just tells us that the ark in the temple was just a type and shadow of Jesus in His body. As He said, “I in them, and thou in me, that they may be perfected into one” (Jn.17:23). God now dwells in the ark of Christ and Christ now dwells in the Body of Christ. In us He is the ark of the covenant overlaid round about with gold, wherein [was] a golden pot holding the manna (of the Word in us), and Aaron's rod that budded (a sign of the authority of the High Priest in us), and the tables of the covenant (of the law written on our heart) (Heb.9:4).   The presence of the Ark ensured Israel of victory and protection. When the Philistines captured the Ark it brought a curse on them so terrible that they sent it home with an offering. On the other hand Jesus said in (Mat.5:13) Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost its savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under foot of men.   Another brother asked me if I thought the Christians will flee for safety to the city of Petra in Jordan. I told him that I thought Petra would be far too small to accommodate them and it would be a natural trap where they could be wiped out. I do believe that some natural Jews will find shelter in Petra, which is the Greek word for “rock”. However, spiritual Jews who are circumcised in heart, have the spiritual Rock of Jesus as a place of safety. Jesus said that standing on Him was the place where Hell had no power over us. (Mat.16:18) And I also say unto thee, that thou art Peter (Gr: “Petros”, meaning a piece of the rock), and upon this rock (Greek: Petra) I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. Jesus is our rock of safety.   Peter himself said that Jesus was the Rock that we are to be founded on. (1Pet.2:5) ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (6) Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame. (7) For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; (8) and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. The disobedient stumble through unbelief in the Word and so are not founded on the Rock. Judgment will take them away wherever they hide.   Those who are obedient to the Word through faith are on the safety of the Rock. (Mat.7:24) Every one therefore that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them, shall be likened unto a wise man, who built his house upon the rock: (25) and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and if fell not: for it was founded upon the rock. (26) And every one that heareth these words of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, who built his house upon the sand: (27) and the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and smote upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall thereof. The apostate churches belittle obedience to the Word because of their unbelief.  We don't stand on the Rock in our own strength but our faith gives us God's strength. My wife had a dream of me after we first became Christians. She saw me standing on a Rock in the middle of the ocean. I had leg braces on like crippled people wear to strengthen their legs. I perceived that the Rock was Christ or the Word and the ocean was the curse as was the flood. In our own strength we are crippled and not able to stand on the Word, but the filling of His Spirit and faith in His promises empowers us to be what we normally are not.   It has come to me that only the rich in a time of economic collapse and wrath would be able to fly to the city of Petra, but salvation is for the poor. No amount of money can buy us safety, because it is not a place but a state of being. (Pr.11:4) Riches profit not in the day of wrath; but righteousness delivereth from death. (6) The righteousness of the upright shall deliver them; But the treacherous shall be taken in their own iniquity.   Faith in the Lord makes Him our secret refuge. (Psa.91:1) He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Notice the confession that puts us on the Rock. (2) I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. The secret place of safety will be hidden to many who are only called “Christian” but the righteous are safe right in the middle of judgment. (7) A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; [But] it shall not come nigh thee. (8) Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, And see the reward of the wicked. (The good confession that puts us in safety.)  9 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; 10  There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. God's angels will protect the righteous wherever they are. (11) For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. (12) They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. They do this for the righteous who believe. (Gal.3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: (14) that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus.   A friend of mine had a very clear dream about the coming invasion of America. He said everyone in the Gulf States was fleeing toward the north to get as far away from the invading army as possible. He was going to get on a shuttle and go too, but the Lord told him to give his place to someone else and sent him and his family into a local city that had been nuked. He had no fear of the radiation or the enemy. It is obvious that God's people will not need to follow the world's example. Paul was not hiding but sharing the Gospel in the most effective time to do so. He said, “[in] journeyings often, [in] perils of rivers, [in] perils of robbers, [in] perils from [my] countrymen, [in] perils from the Gentiles, [in] perils in the city, [in] perils in the wilderness, [in] perils in the sea, [in] perils among false brethren” (2 Cor.11:26).   The Lord told me that this time represented the second 3½ years of the tribulation period. Paul also said, “what persecutions I endured. And out of them all the Lord delivered me” (2Tim.3:11). He also said, “But the Lord stood by me, and strengthened me; that through me the message might be fully proclaimed, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. The Lord will deliver me from every evil work, and will save me unto his heavenly kingdom” (2Tim.4:17,18).   If one is called to be a martyr, they will have the protection of God until their testimony is finished and even then only their flesh will be given up for a sacrifice. (Rev.11:7) And when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that cometh up out of the abyss shall make war with them, and overcome them, and kill them.      Agree with the Blessed Provisions   David  We are in a battle which can be won by those who will speak the Word of the Lord and confess His promises for safety and provision. The Bible tells us that Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Pro.18:21). Let's look at how we can cooperate with God in the process of sanctification so that we are those who speak life and partake of the benefits of the Kingdom and able to give them to others. (Jas.3:8) But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] a restless evil, [it is] full of deadly poison. (9) Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God: (10) out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. (11) Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening [sweet water] and bitter? (12) can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? neither [can] salt water yield sweet. We want to learn by the grace of God to bring forth those “sweet waters” so that we will not suffer with the wicked.  When Moses and the children of Israel came up to Marah, meaning “bitterness” (Exo 15:22-25), they couldn't drink the water. God commanded that a tree be cast into the waters so that they would be made sweet. Marah represents the bitter waters of the fountain, or mouth, which were cured by the tree, representing the Cross. The Cross has conquered our tongue and has given us this gift of the sweet waters so we can bring forth blessings, instead of the cursings, out of this spring of our mouth. Believe this.  The Bible also tells us, The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips (Pro.16:23). So we want to educate ourselves to be swift to hear, slow to speak and slow to wrath (Jas.1:19). We need to think about what we are saying and disagree with the devil because he tempts us to speak the things under the curse and not the things of the Kingdom. The Lord is helping us and He has already conquered the tongue, which no man can tame, but the Lord can through His Word and promises. Jesus was the sacrifice Who gave us a new tongue through the reconciliation.   It says in (Jos.1:6) Be strong and of good courage; for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their father to give them. (7) Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good success whithersoever thou goest. Notice that God said that Joshua (Hebrew: “Jesus”) was going to cause His people to be brought into their inherited Promised Land. This land belongs to us, not every Pagen alien they can invade us with and we will win this battle with them.  We know that the Promised Land is also us. Heb 6:7-8 For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God: 8 but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned. Jesus bore this curse let us confess Him before men.  The Son of God is being manifested in His people. (Col.1:27) … Christ in you, the hope of glory. He is a product of the Word of God being assimilated in our life and mouth; Christ is the Word of God (John 1:14). He saved us from our enemies. (Luk.1:70-74) (As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets that have been from of old), 71 Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; ...74 To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies Should serve him without fear,  You crucify the spiritual man when you walk and talk in the flesh and for those who have been filled with the Holy Spirit and enlightened, who have tasted of the heavenly gift, this will become a curse unto them. (Heb.6:7) For the land which hath drunk the rain (Those who have partaken of the Word from heaven.) that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God: (8) but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned. The word “rejected” is adokimos, meaning, specifically, “reprobated.” The apostle Paul said that he kept his body under control if, perhaps, after he had preached to others, he himself would be “rejected” or “reprobated” (1Co 9:27). This has been demonstrated to us.   God doesn't reprobate land; He reprobates people. The Bible is very plain; in the original Greek, we are God's “tilled land” (1Co.3:9). God wants to plow this earth, our natural life, and plant His seed in the midst of it, bringing forth the fruit of Jesus Christ in us. The land that Joshua wants to cause us to inherit is referring to our new fruit and life. Part of that is our bold faith. The spiritual man, the Israelite, is to conquer this land with the edge of the Sword, the Word of God. The spiritual man is to take the land from the enemy, the Canaanite and live in his house, our body, and plant his crop and bear the fruit of the spiritual man.   (Jos.1:7) Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good success whithersoever thou goest. Notice that turning to the right or left would cause failure to take our Promised Land from the enemies.   I had a dream many years ago where I was standing on a mountain, looking down into a valley and a road that went down the side of this mountain. The road had a ditch or trench down the middle of it. I was in a car, with one set of tires on one side of the trench and the other set on the other side, going down this road to the bottom of the mountain. I realized I couldn't turn to the right or the left because, if I did, two wheels would fall into the trench and that would be the end of any progress; I wouldn't go any farther. I steered very carefully, not to the right and not to the left, as I went down this mountain. Let us speak what the Word says about us.  The Lord gave me the understanding afterward that this mountain represented the kingdom of the world – man, self or the old life. I was to navigate this road and not turn to the right or left, until I got off of this mountain. As soon as I was at the bottom, I immediately realized that there were enemies everywhere. To the extent that we humble ourselves to the Word of God, going down the mountain of “self,” the more enemies we will have, even religious enemies or so-called “Christian” enemies. (2Ti.3:12) … All that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But as we hold fast to the confession of our hope the enemies will be conquered as our faction was and the political faction shall be. (Luk10:19) Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.  Most of the persecution toward Jesus and the disciples came from the people who called themselves the “people of God” but were not. When I got to the bottom and knew that the enemy was everywhere, I went under a bush and there I found tools that I picked up, and treated them as if they were treasure. These tools were hammers, screwdrivers, wrenches and so on. The Lord later revealed to me that these tools represented the authority to bind and loose (Mat 18:18), as all of these tools do. The Lord made me to know I was coming to a time, when under the bush, I was going to manifest more of this authority. Let us bind our enemies in the name of Jesus.   At the time of the burning bush, Moses was given authority to go into Egypt to act for the Lord. I've been binding and loosing for many years but I believe that we're coming to a time of real power from God. It's only going to come to those who humble themselves and don't turn to the right or to the left, but stay on God's road, a self-crucifying path of obedience to the Word of God. When I picked up these tools, I went up another mountain, which represented Mount Zion. I went through the front doors of a great temple, which I believe represented the New Jerusalem on Mount Zion and I saw Jesus sitting on His throne. I went over and sat down next to Him, as He said that overcomers would do. (Rev.3:21) He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne. This is the throne of dominion over our enemies.  As I was speaking with Jesus, I heard people trying to come into the throne room by a back way and not through the door that I had come through. Jesus is the door in John 10:1. Jesus saw these people and said, “Don't worry about them; they can't come in here.” So these were people looking for “throne room” authority but they wouldn't humble themselves to the Word of God personally. The Pharisees only had physical authority as in our day. God will give authority only to those who overcome according to Rev 2:26.   Back to (Jos.1:8) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate thereon day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. The spiritual man speaks the Word so that as you walk, it will bring good success when conquering our Promised Land for the Lord. The first fruits are approaching this point. We must speak according to God's promises, even in the midst of the fiery trial. As Christians, we “calleth the things that are not, as though they were” (Rom.4:17). We speak the things we have according to promise and not according to what we see in the world. This is how we change the things around us. This is God's plan. We let the Word, or our agreement with the Word in what we say, come from our mouth so that we may have good success in conquering our Promised Land.   Further on in Joshua, we see that he is still leading the people of God to conquer their Promised Land in order to put to death their enemies there. In this particular case, the head of God's people, Joshua, is conquering the Amorites. (Jos.10:12) Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; And thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon. I believe God is showing us here to what extent He would go to give our enemy into our hands, if we would speak the Word with boldness.   (Jos.10:8) And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands; there shall not a man of them stand before thee. On a personal and spiritual level that “man” He was referring to was the old man who lived in the Promised Land of our life before the new man took possession. He represented the lusts of the flesh, which would not be able to stand. On a physical and political level it would be the DS and their invading army. Joshua and the children of Israel were having victory over the Amorites but they were running out of time. Remember, the Lord said that if we confess Him before men, He shall confess us before the Father in Mat 10:32.   Likewise, Joshua confessed in the sight of Israel. He was bold and full of faith and he spoke it right in front of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; And thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon (Jos.10:12). (13) And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, Until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.   Now at first, I thought God just stopped Earth from spinning, but I later realized that the moon stayed in the same relative position as the sun and Earth didn't spin. It's possible the whole solar system had stopped. This is a very dangerous thing to do, unless you also control the rest of the universe. Things would tend toward collision down the road somewhere. Can you imagine that God stopped the solar system and more, just so Israel could conquer their enemy? What kind of other big miracle can you imagine that God would do for us to give us victory over our enemy? God gave the Israelites an awesome victory over their enemies! Of course, they needed the time and, for a whole day, the system was frozen. We have all heard of NASA finding the missing day so they could calculate where things would be at a certain time.  People claim that God only did that back then and does not do that today, simply because of the verse right after it. (Jos.10:14) And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel. Well, the Lord still hearkens unto our voice, for many people speak miracles today and they come to pass as they did in the Bible long after Joshua. The key here is “voice of a man” The creation now hearkens to the voice of God through man.  Jesus said, the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life (Joh.6:63), meaning they are His Spirit and His life. In other words, it's the life of God living in us; it's the spiritual man who speaks in agreement with the Word of God. Also, it is the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Eph.6:17). Therefore, it's not as if God is hearkening unto the voice of a man, but He is hearkening unto the voice of His sons. That spiritual man in us is not man, but God. The Son of God is manifesting in His people speaking His Words out of us. When we come into agreement with the Word, we can be trusted. The Lord said, If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you (Joh.15:7). Why? The Word in you is trustworthy to God. If you fill yourself up with the Word and you desire earnestly to walk in agreement with it, God says you're trustworthy.   A long time after Joshua, the Lord wrote this: (Isa.45:11) Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask me of the things that are to come; concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me. Does God really do that? When you command something to be done, like when His disciples commanded healings, deliverances, provision and so on, God fulfilled it. God gave them the authority, which is the right to use power and it's what we do when we speak in agreement with the Word of God. In effect, what we are doing is commanding God, since He said that if we do, He will do it and Jesus said the same.   Psalm 8 was spoken concerning the natural Adam and his seed, but also in type to spiritual Adam, Jesus Christ, and His seed. (Psa.8:6) Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet. This was said of man and the Son of man. Jesus said that God had given Him authority because He is son of man (Joh.5:27). Man was given authority on the earth but when Adam sinned, he lost that authority to Satan. However, we gained it back through Jesus Christ because He was faithful. We now have this authority over the works of God's hands when we speak in agreement with the Word of God and He fulfills it. (Lam.3:37) Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not?   The next thing we see in Joshua is that they went after the five kings who were ruling the Promised Land. (Jos.10:16) And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah. (17) And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah. (18) And Joshua said, Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them: (19) but stay not ye; pursue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the Lord your God hath delivered them into your hand. The first thing they did was trap the five kings in the cave and then they rolled great stones over the mouth of the cave.   Adam was created from the dust of the earth and this old man is earthly, but as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly (1Co.15:49). We are both earthly and heavenly, a spiritual man of the heavens and the carnal man of the earth represented by this cave in the earth. The carnal man of the earth has a mouth and here it's called “the mouth of the cave.” The Lord made the spiritual men roll these great stones over the mouth of the cave. The five kings represent the five senses and the spiritual man put stones, which represent the Word, over the mouth so the carnal senses are not permitted to speak and bring a curse.   The Bible says that senses must be exercised by the Word of God so that we understand the difference between good and evil. (Heb.5:13) For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. (14) But solid food is for fullgrown men, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil. Born-again people have born-again senses. As spiritual men, we must have spiritual senses. Our carnal senses trap and rule over us and our land when we live according to what we see, hear and feel as the old man and the world does.   God teaches us how to spiritually see in (2Pe.1:3) Seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue. We see that God has already provided us everything that pertains unto life and godliness! Now you have the eyes of a dove (Son 1:15). You have the eyes of the Spirit when you begin to see that the promises are true, but the world is transitory. (2Pe.1:4) Whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises (the stones at the mouth of the cave); that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.   Having eyes to see, we can partake of God's nature. We will have spiritual eyes, ears, touch, spiritual smell (or discernment), spiritual taste and words. We've been given these spiritual gifts that enable the spiritual man to take over. The Israelites had captured the five kings who ruled the Promised Land in a cave and they closed up the mouth with great stones. And we know, Jesus is the Stone; He's the Rock which is the Word of God. These great stones represent the great promises of the Word of God. We're adding learning to our lips, which are the “mouth of the cave.”   When we study the Word of God, we learn and see what we are supposed to say and what we're not supposed to say. It gives us restraint to not say things that would permit a curse upon our life. The Israelites had to conquer the Promised Land, and conquer these kings that ruled over the carnal man and bring the curse upon him. And this is what the parable points to – rolling out those stones in front of the mouth. (Eph.4:29) Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying (building-up) as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear.   We can see that we can apply many verses when speaking of conquering the DS with all their invaders who are getting ready to overthrow this land we live in. Just a couple come quickly to mind. (Mat.18:18-19) Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven. And (Mar.11:23-24) Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. 24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. These will come in useful when the invaders rise up.  If we see and walk in the Spirit, then we speak in agreement with the Spirit. (2Co.7:1) Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God. Our nature is changed by the Word of God when …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. (2Co 3:18) When we see a need, such as someone living under the curse, we should speak truth with grace to them to overcome, grace to meet that need, whatever it may be. When we speak according to the Kingdom, we are meeting someone's need for God and His benefits. Saving this country from the invaders to whatever extent God permits is a need.  They will be permitted to persecute the apostate Church for it is in rebellion to the Word of our covenant. (Col.3:17) And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, [do] all in the name (Greek: “nature, character and authority”) of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Do everything as if you are representing Him because you are an ambassador of Christ (2Co 5:20), so speak His words to this world and His enemies. We're called to confess Him before men always and to speak in His name.   (1Pe.4:11) If any man speaketh, speaking as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, [ministering] as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen. When we speak as an oracle of God, that is His Word coming out of us, we're letting the spiritual man, who is in communication with God through our spirit, do the speaking. We don't let the carnal man, the flesh, do the speaking.   To walk holy is to walk separate. The Greek word for “holy” is the same word for “sanctified” and it means “separate”; that is, separated from the world, from sin, separated unto God. We speak His words, think His thoughts and we do His works because He lives in us. The more we do that, the more we grow in holiness. It's the place of Holiness, preservation and provision. Without holiness, no man can see the Lord (Heb 12:14). Holiness is what we grow in when we bear the fruit of Jesus Christ. It is separation from the old man, who is moved and ruled by the carnal senses, unto the new man, who is ruled according to the spiritual senses.   Now let's go to (Isa.11:2) And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. (3) And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears; (4) but with righteousness shall he judge the poor (This is poor in the things of the Kingdom), and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. (5) And righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist, and faithfulness the girdle of his loins.   He's talking about Christ in His first-fruits Man-child in the end-time who will not walk according to the carnal senses because he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears (Isa.11:3). Instead, we are to have our senses exercised to discern good from evil (Heb 5:14) by the Word of God, which is the washing of water with the word (Eph.5:26). As our senses are exercised, we begin to see and hear spiritually; we begin to hear and speak the Voice of the Spirit.   It's similar to when David went to slay Goliath, the giant in the land. He went to the brook and pulled out those five smooth stones that were exercised by the washing of the water, which represents the Word. He took only one of those stones and he felled Goliath (1Sa 17). David spoke it to him ahead of time, declaring that he would take off Goliath's head and feed him to the birds. That's very bold! And because David spoke it, that's exactly what he did. The stone, or sense, that David was using was the tongue. The tongue senses tastes but it also speaks the Word. David conquered Goliath because he had spiritual senses.   Now we can return to Joshua. He told the Israelites to go after their enemies, since the five kings were already trapped in the cave and closed off with the stones. Now they were able to conquer those whom the kings had ruled over. (Jos.10:20) And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities, (21) that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel.   (22) Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth those five kings unto me out of the cave. (23) And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon. (24) And it came to pass, when they brought forth those kings unto Joshua, that 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.   They let them out of the cave and they had to keep them from speaking, so they put their feet on their necks. It reminds me of the dream I've shared before about being in a war with a giant and not letting the old man speak. When he did, he said, “Bigger, bigger, bigger!” We have a lot of giants around us – a lot of big problems and a lot of big enemies. But we can't let the old man, whom I captured in the dream and who was in bondage to me, speak out of our mouth. I didn't want to let him speak because the old man has the authority to make the situation worse and make the enemy stronger and bigger. I refused him and demanded that the giant be reduced, saying, “No! Smaller, smaller, smaller.”   Similarly, the Israelites put their feet on the kings' necks, causing the five senses to not speak or to rule over the body. (Jos.10:25) And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the Lord do to all your enemies against whom ye fight. (Notice, you speak the Word and the Lord will do it. In Rev.12:11, the devil and his angels were cast down by the “word of their testimony” of the saints.)  (26) And afterward Joshua smote them, and put them to death, and hanged them on five trees: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening. Notice that all of our enemies, firstly our old man, will be conquered in this way. Father said against Babylon in Jer.51:3 …Utterly destroy all her army. We are not permitted to wrestle with flesh nor use fleshly weapons but to “resist not” and if opportunity arises we are to preach Christ to them.  But we have authority over all their power and that includes the principalities and powers. (Luk.10:19) Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. As an example to us, before Jesus' time of crucifixion, when the Jews sought to throw him off a cliff, he just passed through their midst unharmed. I was shot at by an assassin from close range and my angel made the bullet disappear. A tractor back blade was thrown straight at my head by a demon, while Michael watched, but all I felt was a finger on my nose pushing me to the ground with zero pain. That was just ahead of the blade. Michael was sure it had hit and killed me.  My tractor wheel fell into a hole and the tractor was flipping into a gully. I was looking straight down at the ground when the tractor uprighted with me stuck in the seat. It was a work of our satanists. Several other times I escaped them. (Luk.1:68) ...For he hath visited and wrought redemption for his people... 71 Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us...74 To grant unto us that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies Should serve him without fear.  Jesus Christ was hanged upon a tree, or cross, and they wanted to take Him down before evening, too. Jesus also was buried in a cave. So why is God applying this to the senses of the old man? (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. That includes our five senses. The Lord has already taken care of this problem when He was crucified on that tree and you were crucified with Him. You have been given this gift of the new man, for by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified (Heb.10:14).  We walk in the spirit according to these divine senses that are attuned to the Kingdom of Heaven. These senses see how to walk in the Kingdom. It comes quite naturally to us to walk in the world but it comes supernaturally to us to walk in the Kingdom; that is, to have our senses exercised by the Word of God to see and hear the way God sees and hears, and to smell, or discern, the way God does. It is also to have our emotions in communication with God.   We have the victory over the old man and his senses because he's dead and the new man, Who is Jesus Christ, lives in you. Because of your faith and speaking that faith, God will bring it to pass. He will do it through our faith and not by our works. (Eph.2:8) For by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God; (9) not of works, that no man should glory.   Father, we pray that You will (Psa.141:3) Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips. Amen.  So we know that in the Kingdom of Heaven, there is singing, praise, worship and thanksgiving to the Lord our King. When we do this, we are bringing more of His Kingdom down here to earth. (Mat.6:10)  We have ‘authority over all the power of the enemy' (Luk.10:19). We have power in praise. When we praise the Lord, He gives us the victory!       Worship and Praise   Vines Expository Dictionary on the Greek word Worship: “to make obeisance, do reverence to” (from pros, “towards”, and kuneo, “to kiss”), is the most frequent word rendered “to worship”. It is used of an act of homage or reverence. In other words, worship is an act of love toward God.   Father is looking for those who worship Him with their all: (Joh.4:21) Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father. (22) Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews. (23) But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. (24) God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. There is much fake worship -- words without heart and spirit.   Worship is the way to bring God's presence: (Psa.100:1) Make a joyful noise unto Jehovah, all ye lands. (2) Serve Jehovah with gladness: Come before his presence with singing. (3) Know ye that Jehovah, he is God: It is he that hath made us, and we are his; We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. (4) Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, And into his courts with praise: Give thanks unto him, and bless his name. (5) For Jehovah is good; His lovingkindness endureth forever, And his faithfulness unto all generations.   Worship reveals our love and admiration for God and He knows it: (1Ch.29:11) Thine, O Jehovah, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Jehovah, and thou art exalted as head above all.   Praise Him everywhere, with a new song that comes from your heart, and dancing and with all instruments and enemies will be conquered: (Psa.149:1) Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints. (2) Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. (3) Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp. (4) For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation. (5) Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds. (This will bind our enemies works against us.)  (7)  To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;  (8)  To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;  (9)  To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah. (Children can conquer enemies in worship.) Psa 8:2  Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength, Because of thine adversaries, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. (150:1) Praise ye Jehovah. Praise God in his sanctuary: Praise him in the firmament of his power. (2) Praise him for his mighty acts: Praise him according to his excellent greatness. (3) Praise him with trumpet sound: Praise him with psaltery and harp. (4) Praise him with timbrel and dance: Praise him with stringed instruments and pipe. (5) Praise him with loud cymbals: Praise him with high sounding cymbals. (6) Let everything that hath breath praise Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah. It is the will of the Lord to worship in songs and hymns: (Eph.5:17) Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. (18) And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit; 19 speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; (20) giving thanks always for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; We give thanks to God; this is a secret of power because we believe we have already received what we asked, right?   Praise (meaning “brag on”) Him to everyone: (1Ch.16:23) Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth; Show forth his salvation from day to day. (24) Declare his glory among the nations, His marvelous works among all the peoples. (25) For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised: He also is to be feared above all gods. (26) For all the gods of the peoples are idols: But Jehovah made the heavens. (27) Honor and majesty are before him: Strength and gladness are in his place. (28) Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength; (29) Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name: Bring an offering, and come before him: Worship Jehovah in holy array. (30) Tremble before him, all the earth: The world also is established that it cannot be moved. (31) Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth.   We are taught to worship, praise and pray with hands lifted up to the Lord: (1Ti.2:8) I desire therefore that the men pray in every place, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and disputing. (Psa.63:4) So will I bless thee while I live: I will lift up my hands in thy name. (Lam.3:41) Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens. (Neh.8:6) and Ezra blessed Jehovah, the great God. And all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with the lifting up of their hands: and they bowed their heads, and worshipped Jehovah with their faces to the ground.   Why lifting up hands? Offering our hands to the Lord for His works and to conquer His enemies: (Exo.17:9) And Moses said unto Joshua, Choose us out men, and go out, fight with Amalek: to-morrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand. (10) So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. (11) And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed; and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. (12) But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; And his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. (13) And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.   Worship and praise will conquer overwhelming enemies: (2Ch.20:17) Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of Jehovah with you, O Judah and Jerusalem; fear not, nor be dismayed: to-morrow go out against them: for Jehovah is with you. (18) And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Jehovah, worshipping Jehovah. (19) And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites and of the children of the Korahites, stood up to praise Jehovah, the God of Israel, with an exceeding loud voice.   (20) And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem: believe in Jehovah your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper. (21) And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed them that should sing unto Jehovah, and give praise in holy array, as they went out before the army, and say, Give thanks unto Jehovah; for his lovingkindness endureth forever. (22) And when they began to sing and to praise, Jehovah set liers-in-wait against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, that were come against Judah; and they were smitten. (The angels will smite the enemies in the land.)  Worship to bind the enemy and their kings: (Psa.149:6) Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand; (7) To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples; (The Lord is doing this.) (8) To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron; (9) To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.   Because judgment and enemies are near, fear God and worship Him: (Rev.14:7) and he saith with a great voice, Fear God, and give him glory; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made the heaven and the earth and sea and fountains of waters. (Dan.3:16) Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter. (17) If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace; and he will deliver us out of thy hand, O king. (18) But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.   (2Ki.17:38) and the covenant that I have made with you ye shall not forget; neither shall ye fear other gods: (39) but Jehovah your God shall ye fear; and he will deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies.   We can clap and shout our triumph over our enemies. Triumph is celebrating the victory before we see it: (Psa.47:1) Oh clap your hands, all ye peoples; Shout unto God with the voice of triumph. (Jos.6:20) So the people shouted, and the priests blew the trumpets; and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, that the people shouted with a great shout, and the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.   Praise in Hebrew is “Hallal”, meaning brag on the Lord. Give credit or ascribe to the Lord: (Psa.29:1) Ascribe unto Jehovah, O ye sons of the mighty, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength. (2) Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name; Worship Jehovah in holy array. (3) The voice of Jehovah is upon the waters: The God of glory thundereth, Even Jehovah upon many waters. (4) The voice of Jehovah is powerful; The voice of Jehovah is full of majesty. (5) The voice of Jehovah breaketh the cedars; Yea, Jehovah breaketh in pieces the cedars of Lebanon. When we speak in agreement with the Word of God, we are giving “voice” to the Word and the angels hearken to His voice. (Psa.103:20) Bless Jehovah, ye his angels, That are mighty in strength, that fulfil his word, Hearkening unto the voice of his word. Amen! 

James 3-1-12 -KJV- My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. 2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. 3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us- and we turn about their whole body. 4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth- 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity- so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature- and it is set on fire of hell. 7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind- 8 But the tongue can no man tame- it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father- and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter-- 12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries-- either a vine, figs-- so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

Endure to Manifest Salvation (8) (audio)   David Eells (7/28/24) I'm going to continue with how we endure in our faith to manifest salvation.  The Bible says you can write the Word on your own heart with your tongue. We can speak these things down into our hearts so that they come out of us naturally. Let's look at this in (Psa.45:1) My heart overfloweth with a goodly matter; I speak the things which I have made touching the king: My tongue is the pen of a ready writer. “My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.” And, just think about this, if you bridle the tongue, you turn the whole body as it says in (Jas.3:3) Now if we put the horses' bridles into their mouths that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also. (4) Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth. (5) So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!   (6) And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell. Have you ever seen a bridle? It goes through the horse's mouth and it has what's called a “bit” on it. The bit presses on the tongue and applies pressure to a horse's sensitive mouth. That allows the rider to control the horse by means of the reins, which are attached to the bridle. A tongue is so tiny compared to the body, but if you bridle the tongue, it allows you to control the whole body, just like the small rudder of a ship turns the whole ship around. It all starts with the tongue! (Rom.10:10) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.   I tell you, if you confess with your mouth, you will start believing in your heart because you'll be writing something upon your own heart with your own words. According to many studies over the years, if you really want to remember something, speak it as you read it and you'll get a much higher percentage of recall because you're forming auditory links in the memory pathways. Well, it's a spiritual principle! Back in Louisiana, there was a local brother who couldn't read, so we gave him an audio Bible. He would follow along in his Bible while he listened to the audio and I was amazed at how quickly he learned to read. He was so happy because the thing he wanted the most was to be able to read the Bible and God really honored that!     We should always speak in agreement with the Scriptures because “sweet” and “bitter waters” shouldn't come out of the same fountain. Going back to (Jas.3:8) But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] a restless evil, [it is] full of deadly poison. (9) Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God: (10) out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. (11) Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet [water] and bitter? (12) Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? Neither [can] salt water yield sweet.  (So your own mouth can curse you and others. Speaking scripture or even agreeing with scripture blesses your soul.)   Do you remember what happened when the Israelites camped beside the bitter waters? It says in (Exo.15:23) And when they came to Marah, they could not drink of the waters of Marah, for they were bitter: therefore the name of it was called Marah. (24) And the people murmured against Moses, saying, What shall we drink? (25) And he cried unto the Lord; And the Lord showed him a tree, and he cast it into the waters, and the waters were made sweet. I believe the “tree” is the cross and that we are able to speak the “sweet waters” because of what Jesus did. The “waters” were bitter but God made them sweet. Thank You, Lord!   We're taught to think of leaven only in a negative way. And from the time we come out of “Egypt,” until the end of seven days when we come to the “rest,” we're to partake of only the unleavened bread (Exodus 12:15-20). Let's read what the Lord said in (Mat.16:6) And Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. (11) How is it that ye do not perceive that I spake not to you concerning bread? But beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees. (12) Then understood they that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees. That means we are not to take any teaching into our lives, other than this teaching. As we can see here this teaching is the Unleavened Bread.     But there is a teaching that is supposed to leaven us: (Mat.13:33) Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened. The teaching that is supposed to “leaven” us is God's Word because those three measures of meal in this parable represent the spirit, the soul and the body. God's purpose is to completely regenerate our whole being, spirit, soul and body, through His Word. (1Th.5:23) And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. There are some groups that teach these promises are just spiritual and not physical, but they're both as it says in (Psa.107:20) He sendeth his word, and healeth them, And delivereth them from their destructions. Obviously, healing can be both spiritual and physical, and our healing has been given to us from God, according to His Word. Only His Word is able to completely sanctify us in spirit, soul and body. Praise the Lord!   You know, the first sign that Jesus did was turning water into wine in Cana of Galilee. This is in (Joh.2:1) And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: (2) and Jesus also was bidden, and his disciples, to the marriage. (3) And when the wine failed, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. (4) And Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. (5) His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. (6) Now there were six waterpots of stone (Six is the number of man and the stone is hardened clay, which is what man is made out of.) set there after the Jews manner of purifying, containing two or three firkins apiece.    (Joh.2:7) Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. (The water is the Word of God.) And they filled them up to the brim. (8) And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the ruler of the feast. And they bare it. (9) And when the ruler of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and knew not whence it was (but the servants that had drawn the water knew), the ruler of the feast calleth the bridegroom, (10) and saith unto him, Every man setteth on first the good wine; and when men have drunk freely, then that which is worse: thou hast kept the good wine until now. (11) This beginning of his signs did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed on him.   What was the wine? It's says in (Mat.26:27) And he took a cup, and gave thanks, and gave to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; (28) for this is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many unto remission of sins. The wine was His blood and it says in (Lev.17:11) For the life of the flesh is in the blood; and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh atonement by reason of the life. “The life of the flesh is in the blood.” This is showing us that if we fill our vessels with the Word of God, then God will turn that “water” into “wine,” or the “blood,” which is the nature of Jesus Christ! God is saying, “You fill your vessel with the Word and I'll turn it into the nature of Jesus Christ” because a little leaven leavens the whole lump. Praise be to God!    If you keep being faithful to put the Word in your heart, the Word will be faithful to bring forth the fruit. The Word is the “seed” of the sower, as Jesus taught. (Mat.13:3) And he spake to them many things in parables, saying, Behold, the sower went forth to sow; (4) and as he sowed, some [seeds] fell by the way side, and the birds came and devoured them: (5) and others fell upon the rocky places, where they had not much earth: and straightway they sprang up, because they had no deepness of earth: (6) and when the sun was risen, they were scorched; and because they had no root, they withered away. (7) And others fell upon the thorns; and the thorns grew up and choked them: (8) and others fell upon the good ground, and yielded fruit, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.   Many people don't know why they're just stagnating and not growing in the Lord, but this is the reason. It's because they're not being diligent to keep putting the Word in their heart. Did you know that as wheat goes through the process of bearing seed, which is its fruit, the plant progressively dies to itself and the same thing is true for us? Jesus said, (Mat.16:25) For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. So you have to lose your life, but that's not something you can do; it's something that the Lord has already accomplished! Through faith, we accept the death of the old man as a gift.    And we need to know that, (2Co.4:11) ... we who live are always delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal flesh. The life of Christ will be manifested in our mortal flesh. Well, what about those people who say, “The life of Christ comes after you die and go to Heaven.” That's not what the Scripture says! It's in our mortal flesh! We are always going to be delivered over to death, so that this can come to pass.   You go through trials, troubles and tribulations, as Paul said: (2Co.4:8) We are pressed on every side, yet not straitened; perplexed, yet not unto despair; (9) pursued, yet not forsaken; smitten down, yet not destroyed; (10) always bearing about in the body the dying of Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be manifested in our body. But you can go through trials and go through trials and you will go through them for nothing, if you don't exercise faith in the midst of the trial. Every trial, every trouble that you go through, is an opportunity to bring forth spiritual seed as you manifest more of Christ. And Paul tells us we have to, (1Ti.6:12) Fight the good fight of the faith, lay hold on the life eternal, whereunto thou wast called, and didst confess the good confession in the sight of many witnesses. Fight the good fight of the faith! Continue to agree with what the Word says and not with what your carnal senses are telling you.   If you don't fight, you lose! Automatically. If you do not fight, you will lose, but the fight is the “good fight of the faith.” In the midst of your trial, you take out the Word of God, which is the “sword of the Spirit.” We are commanded in (Eph.6:10) Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might. (11) Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. (12) For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places]. (It's too easy in the trial to forget to fight with the demons behind it and not with the people they are using.) (13) Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand. (14) Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness,     (15) and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; (16) withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil [one]. (17) And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Some people's spirits are totally defenseless because they don't ever study the Word. We need to give a sword to our spirit! If you know what you can believe in the midst of a trial, then you can use that like a sword and you'll win! You'll win because nothing can stand up against God's Word -- not the devil, not the world, not the flesh, nothing! And let this encourage you to know, (2Co.4:16) Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day. (17) For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory. God is going to use all these things that we go through so the Glory of God will be manifested in us. Praise be to God!   How is the glory of God manifested in us? It's manifested as we behold the Lord in the mirror, as we've said. You continue to behold the Lord in the mirror! As you do that, you are going to be transformed into His image, from glory to glory, but this process he's talking about in verses 16 and 17 won't come to pass, unless you pay close attention to verse 18. (2Co.4:18) While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. In other words, you must not pay attention to the things that you see with your natural eyes, if you want to bear fruit, because with your natural eyes you can look only upon yourself. Your natural eyes see where you are, but God wants you to look at the face of Christ in the mirror and see where you are by faith!    That's what He wants you to see and He wants you to accept that as a gift!  At the end, everybody is going to throw their crowns at the Lord's feet as it says in (Rev.4:10) The four and twenty elders shall fall down before him that sitteth on the throne, and shall worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and shall cast their crowns before the throne, saying, (11) Worthy art thou, our Lord and our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power: for thou didst create all things, and because of thy will they were, and were created. Everybody is going to know that it wasn't ever through our works and it wasn't through our efforts; it was totally by His grace! (Eph.2:8) For by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; (9) not of works, that no man should glory. (10) For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.   And by grace are you still saved through faith and that's not of yourself; it's a gift of God! It's not of your works, lest any man should boast, for in Christ Jesus were we created for good works. It's all faith! While you're not exercising faith, this process is not going on! But while we look at the things which are not seen with the natural eye, while we look at the things that are our gift, which are the promises of the Word, this process will be going on. The putting to death of the old man, in order to bring to life the new man, will be happening automatically, like a seed growing up out of the earth. Study the promises of God. They are the power of God! (Rom.1:16) For I am not ashamed of the gospel: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth....   And we read in (Col.3:3) For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God. (4) When Christ, [who is] our life.... When you manifest sonship, what have you manifested? You've manifested (Col.1:27) ... Christ in you, the hope of glory. When you go astray from the Word, as the Galatians did, do you know what you're going astray from? You are going astray from the manifestation of Christ! Paul told the Galatians, (Gal.4:19) My little children, of whom I am again in travail until Christ be formed in you. In other words, they weren't sons; they were children. They had gone astray from faith. They had withdrawn from grace and they were getting back into legalism. In this place, there was no hope of them ever manifesting Christ. We just received this dream of a person who fell away because of faction but it fits all falling away.   Marie Kelton -7/26/24 During the meeting, I had asked the father where a certain fallen person was with him. And then had an open vision, of a beautiful tree with leaves on it on a hill. I then saw a hand come from heaven, and shake the tree until there were no leaves on it. (It no longer could take in the light.) And then snap the tree from the trunk. And pull it up. The roots were still in the ground though.  Luke 13:6-9 And he spake this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none. And he said unto the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it also cumber the ground? And he answering saith unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: and if it bear fruit thenceforth, well; but if not, thou shalt cut it down. I wasn't sure if I was seeing clearly so the lord gave me another vision of the same tree with a rope being tied around it, being pulled up with the roots this time. I still wanted to be sure so the lord gave me a vision of him standing next to me with a little potted plant in his hand and he pulled the plant up from the pot showing the roots. And yet still I wasn't sure if I was seeing clearly. So the Lord gave me another vision of me sitting in my house sitting on my couch, having an open vision of the tree with the rope around the trunk being pulled from the ground with the roots showing.  Jude 1:12 These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds (Not numeric) that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots. The Lord then gave me another open vision during the meeting of 3 pieces of silver hitting the floor. I immediately, thought of the 30 pieces of silver that Judas betrayed Jesus for. (Those who betray the body of Christ to follow their lusts will be condemned) Matthew 27:3-5 Then Judas, who betrayed him, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, saying, I have sinned in that I betrayed innocent blood. But they said, What is that to us? see thou to it. And he cast down the pieces of silver into the sanctuary, and departed; and he went away and hanged himself. Concerning those who cannot manifest Christ through law, he gave them the parable about the handmaid and the free woman: (Gal.4:21) Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? (22) For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, one by the handmaid, and one by the freewoman. (23) Howbeit the [son] by the handmaid is born after the flesh; but the [son] by the freewoman [is born] through promise. (24) Which things contain an allegory: for these [women] are two covenants; one from mount Sinai, bearing children unto bondage (through the law), which is Hagar. (25) Now this Hagar is mount Sinai in Arabia and answereth to the Jerusalem that now is: for she is in bondage with her children. (26) But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is our mother. (So, in other words, he told them, “If you're going to be children of the free woman, it's going to be by faith; it's going to be by grace. It won't be through your own works and it won't be through your own efforts because it can't be by the Law.”)  We are commanded in (Col.3:5) 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 (You're not going to be able to obey verses 5 through 8, unless you can see that you have put off the old man with his doings in verse 9.), (Col.3:10) and have put on the new man, that is being renewed unto knowledge after the image of him that created him. Can you see that you've put on the new man? Can you see that all of your sin and your sinful nature has been put off and that it's all dead?     Can you see by faith that you have put off the old man and you have put on the new man, Who is Jesus. (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. “It's no longer I that live, it's Christ Who lives in me.” Paul made a bold confession of faith and we need to be able to do the same thing. In order to become sons, we need to be able to see as he saw. God's purpose in Christ was to make Him a seed Who would bring forth many, many sons through belief in that seed. That was His purpose! In the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:1-13; Mark 4:1-30; Luke 8:4-15), the word there for “seed” is actually the Greek word sperma. He sowed that seed in this old, dirty earth, and the fruit it's bringing forth is Christ.   Now, religion can really puff you up, can't it? It can make you so proud that you won't be able to receive the things of God, for He resists the proud (James 4:6; 1 Peter 5:5). Let's go to (Col.2:16) Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a feast day or a new moon or a sabbath day: (17) which are a shadow of the things to come; but the body is Christ's. (18) Let no man rob you of your prize by a voluntary humility and worshipping of the angels, dwelling in the things which he hath seen (This speaks of seeing with your natural eyes and not in the spirit.), vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind. When your only understanding is letter and not spirit, all it does is puff up your natural, fleshly mind. It doesn't give you the mind of Christ. The mind of Christ does not come from seeing only the letter because the letter kills the meaning of the Spirit that edifies your soul.     If we understand this, we won't be puffed up by our natural man. We won't be proud or self-righteous because of things we have seen or done in the flesh. Otherwise, our natural mind is going to take over and look at what God says is the penalty for doing this: (Col.2:19) and not holding fast the Head.... See, if you walk after natural sight, puffed up in your fleshly mind, you can't “hold fast” the head. This can only be done through faith and not through our works, for God empowers faith. There is no fruit in not agreeing with God as it says in (Amo.3:3) Shall two walk together, except they have agreed? We can't walk hand-in-hand with Christ, unless we agree with the Spirit of His Word. If you only see with natural eyes, you will not agree with Christ; you will not walk with Him. You cannot walk in the Spirit and you cannot be a son of God. (Rom.8:14) For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.    What you see with your natural eyes will lead you away from Christ so quickly. It will cause you to be anxious and worried, it will cause you to be fearful and it will keep you from walking by faith. The most important thing to us in all the world should not be “going to church”. The most important thing to us in all the world is getting the Word into our heart because the Word is the seed of God with which God creates Jesus Christ in us. The Word is what brings forth the fruit of Christ in us. Put the Word in your heart! Study the Word! You might say, “Well, David, I tried, but I got distracted”. Folks, this is not salvation by works! You can't struggle to make yourself study the Word the way you are supposed to do it. You have to ask God for that gift. “For by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God”.     From the very foundation of faith, it starts with God; it doesn't start with you. Notice what it says in (Joh.15:16) Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. “Ye did not choose me, but I chose you”. God chose us! We didn't come to Christ because we chose Him. We came to Christ because He drew us and then we chose Him! You don't come to Christ unless He draws you as Jesus says in (Joh.6:44) No man can come to me, except the Father that sent me draw him.... We need to pray that God will put in us the desire, a hunger and thirst, for the truth of the Word of God. Everybody who hungers and thirsts after the truth will not have to worry about being deceived. That's not possible, if you truly hunger and thirst after the truth!    Without motivation to seek the truth, you have no hope because we are just what we are and that's what we will always be, without the influence of God. God showed me the example of a dog. You can try to teach a dog how to do human things, but he has no hope of being anything but what he is. He can only do what he is. God would have to put another heart in that dog for him to be anything other than what he is. And that's why there's no use in condemning lost people because they can only be what they are and they will never be anything but what they are, unless something from the outside comes in and changes them. The faith that brings this to pass comes from God, so go to God.   Take time to pray, “Lord, help me! I am not digging into Your Word the way I see I should. I ask You to put it in my heart to do this and I thank You for it.” (Php.4:6) In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. When you pray with thanksgiving, that's faith because you are thanking God for something you haven't seen yet. Don't be anxious; don't worry about a thing! (Php.4:7) And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.   We progressively grow as it says in (Eph.4:13) 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. Paul is talking about how we are learning to follow the Head! We are not our own head; Christ is our Head and we're the Bride if we submit to Him. Christ is the Head of the Church! He's our Head and we have no right anymore to go our own way, do our own thing, think our own thoughts, or see what we want to see because Christ is the Head!   And did you know that the Lord is searching throughout the earth for a place where He can set His Head? It says in (Luk.9:57) And as they went on the way, a certain man said unto him, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. Just like Peter, he was speaking out of self-confidence, and we've all thought that way, too, haven't we? (Luk.9:58) And Jesus said unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the heaven [have] nests (The Greek word here is actually “abodes” or “abiding places.”); but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. What does He mean? Well, you're probably thinking, “He's looking for a house to lay His head down in.” No, the Bible teaches that He's looking for a place, a “house,” to lay His Head on. He is not your Head, unless you follow Him. (Luk.9:59) And he said unto another, Follow me....    Notice that Jesus said, “If you do this, you are My disciple; if you don't do this, you cannot be My disciple.” He always related in terms of discipleship (See, Matthew 10:37- 38,42; Mark 8:34; Luke 9:23, 14:26-27, 33; John 1:43, 12:26; etc.). Today, we relate in terms of who is and who is not a “Christian,” but we really ought to go back to calling people “believers.” Remember, it was the pagans who first called the Christians, “Christians,” because they walked and talked like Christ, which is no longer true. Now it's become just a pagan term because it's so loosely applied that nobody knows what a true “Christian” is! “Believers” is a little different because “believers” says that you believe what the Word says. The Greek word for “disciple” is mathetes and it means “learner and follower.” So if you are a “learner and a follower” of Christ, then Christ is your Head.     If you're going your own way, He's not your Head! Jesus is looking for an abode, an “abiding place,” for His Head. Let me show you another place where “abode” is used. It says in (Joh.14:23) Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. (This is the same word that is translated “nests” in Luke 9:58: “the birds of the heavens have nests.”) See, the Lord isn't looking for a physical house to be His abode, but He is looking for a “house” on which to put His Head!     By the way, God is making His “abode” with you. Did you know that? (Joh.14:2) In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. The word there for “mansions” is just a different Greek word for “abodes.” You see, in the Father's House there are many nice “abodes”; there are many “abiding places” for the Father, not for you. It's the Father's House, not your house. God's House is made up of many buildings and they are all put together into a Holy Temple in the Lord as it says in (Eph.2:21) In whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord; (22) in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit. We are those nice buildings that He dwells in!  And we will have a nice abode to dwell in. Some will be closer to the throne than others. And we read in (Rev.21:9) And there came one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls, who were laden with the seven last plagues; and he spake with me, saying, Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the wife of the Lamb. (10) And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, (11) having the glory of God: her light was like unto a stone most precious, as it were a jasper stone, clear as crystal: (12) having a wall great and high; having twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names written thereon, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel: (13) on the east were three gates; and on the north three gates; and on the south three gates; and on the west three gates. (14) And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, and on them twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb. That New Jerusalem building and all the symbolism in it reflects the Bride.     Let me show you this again in (1Pe.2:4) Unto whom coming, a living stone, rejected indeed of men, but with God elect, precious, (5) ye also, as living stones, are built up a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (6) Because it is contained in scripture, Behold, I lay in Zion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: And he that believeth on him shall not be put to shame. The only type of building that has a “chief corner stone” is a pyramid. The head stone is the very top stone, but it's also the chief corner stone because it's where all four corners of the pyramid meet. (1Pe.2:7) For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected....   Did you know that the Great Pyramid was built by Enoch and his sons as a prophecy from God? Inside it, there is a timetable of history and for coming events. It also has many measurements encoded, such as the earth's circumference and the distances between the earth and the moon. But the chief cornerstone was never laid! It was rejected by the builders. It was a prophecy of our Chief Corner Stone, Jesus! The Great Pyramid: Prophecy In Stone, by Noah W. Hutchings, is a book about the prophecies of the Great Pyramid. You see, the Great Pyramid wasn't built when the other pyramids were built; it was built before the Flood. The other pyramids were built later by the Egyptians because they saw the properties that were in the Great Pyramid and they copied it. The Bible talks about the Great Pyramid in several places because it's a prophecy about the Church and the “Chief Corner Stone.” According to archeologists, the Great Pyramid went through the flood and didn't settle one 1/100th of an inch anywhere. It's built on and socketed down into a solid rock. It's amazing! Engineers are doubtful it could be built today, even with all our modern machinery.     Going on in (1Pe.2:7) For you therefore that believe is the preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, The stone which the builders rejected, The same was made the head of the corner; (Notice: He is both head and corner.) (8) and, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient.... By the way, this word “disobedient” is the word apeitheia and it means both “unbelieving” and “disobedient.” The Greeks had the same word for “unbelieving” and “disobedient” because, if you are unbelieving, you will be disobedient and, if you're disobedient, it's because you are unbelieving. (1Pe.2:8) And, A stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence; for they stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed. (9) But ye are an elect race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that ye may show forth the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.   Jesus can only put His Head on a “house” that makes Him Head. Paul says in (Eph.5:23) For the husband is the head of the wife, and Christ also is the head of the church, [being] himself the Saviour of the body. When you submit to the Word, then He becomes your Head, like a wife is to make her husband the head in everything. (Eph.2:18) For through him we both have our access in one Spirit unto the Father. (19) So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God (Keep in mind it's God's House.), (20) being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone.... Jesus is the Chief Corner Stone of the Household of God and, if you won't submit to Him, you can't be in the House of God!    Submitting to Him is seeing the way He's commanded you to see and hearing the way He's commanded you to hear. (Eph.2:20) Being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone; (21) in whom each several building.... The Greek says, “every building.” In other words, (21) in whom every building fitly framed together (So we see that the Household of God is made up of many buildings; or, “In my Father's House, there are many mansions.”), groweth into a holy temple in the Lord; (22) in whom you also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit. Who is the building? It's you! The Household of God is you! These mansions He's putting into His House symbolize all those who will submit to the Head. Remember, Jesus said, “Follow Me.” If you follow Him, He has a place to put His Head.     Somebody who's “not holding fast the head” is somebody who's puffed up by their natural mind and the things they see with their natural eyes. You won't have the Head of Christ, if you walk after your natural eyes and, if you don't have the Head of Christ, you're not one of the “buildings” being fitted into the building beneath Him. Now let's read in (Luk.9:59) And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. Here's someone who says, “Me first,” so the Lord is not finding a “house” here upon which to put His Head. (60) But he said unto him, Leave the dead to bury their own dead; but go thou and publish abroad the kingdom of God. (61) And another also said, I will follow thee, Lord; but first (“But first! But first!” Nothing else can be first!) suffer me to bid farewell to them that are at my house. (62) But Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plow, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.    When you say, “Me first,” you're looking back from the plow and when you look back at where you were, instead of where you're going, you will walk a crooked walk. If you are starting to plow or disc a field you set your eyes straight ahead at a target on the other side.  If you look back you will swerve off the path. Reckon yourself to be dead! Dead men don't say, “Me first!” Dead men don't talk back! If you're dead, the only right you have is to obey your Master, the Lord. You don't have any personal rights anymore. Anyone who wants personal rights doesn't want Jesus as their Head. It says in (Php.2:13) For it is God who worketh in you both to will and to work, for his good pleasure. We need to pray and ask the Lord to put this desire in us: “Lord, let me serve You,” because if we allow anything of the world to take priority over that, Jesus will not be our Head! It's the same as when a woman doesn't submit to her husband; she doesn't have a head as it says in (1Co.11:3) But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. If we want to have our Head, then we have to submit to the chain of command, according to God's order of government.   Now, as we've talked about earlier, we each have a “Promised Land” to conquer and, if we come into agreement with what God says, as Joshua and Caleb did, we will conquer our promised land. God has shown me several parallels about the Promised Land. For one, He's shown me that the Promised Land is the natural life of the born again man. Let's go to (Heb.6:4) For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, (5) and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, (6) and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. (7) For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God: (8) but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned.     The Israelite is to rule in this land that's been promised to him and the Canaanite is the old man, the man who must die. And in another way, God has shown me that the Promised Land is also all the promises of the Word. God told Joshua, (Jos.1:3) Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon, to you have I given it, as I spake unto Moses. Every place where you stand on this Word, God will give it to you. (Jos.1:5) There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee; I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.  Nobody will be able to stand before you! If you stand on this Word, the old man, that carnal man, the Canaanite, will not be able to stand before you! He will not be able to resist you! Joshua and Caleb stood on the Word when they spoke in agreement with God. They didn't say what they saw, what they felt and what they heard with their natural senses. They each conquered their Promised Land.   Those other spies brought the bad report when they said what they saw, what they felt and what they heard. They did not agree with God when they did that (Numbers 13 and 14). The only way you can take the Promised Land is to see what God says to see, hear what God says to hear and feel what God says to feel. This is walking by the Spirit. That's why we have to renew our minds with the Word.   It's quite natural to have the old mind and you are going against the ways of the whole world when you change your mind and repent, and say what the Bible says to say. But it says in (Isa.8:20) To the law and to the testimony! if they speak not according to this word, surely there is no morning for them. There will be no new light, no new day for anybody who doesn't speak according to this Word. And (2Co.4:4) 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]. Our only hope is to agree with God!   You cannot come out from under the curse, if you don't agree with God. (Rev.22:18) I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book: (19) and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. In circumstances and situations, we're always tempted to add to and take away from the Word. But when you disagree with the Word and you say what comes through your natural senses, you stay underneath the curse. But remember, Jesus gave us authority! (Mat.18:18) Verily I say unto you, what things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.    When we agree with the Word, we're going to bind the carnal man, the flesh! When we disagree with the Word, we loose him and we don't carry on the process of death to the old man. So, look again here in (2Co.4:16) Wherefore we faint not; but though our outward man is decaying, yet our inward man is renewed day by day. (17) For our light affliction, which is for the moment, worketh for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory; (18) while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. The process is only carried on by seeing that we've been delivered, we've been set free! The old man's dead!  Let's go to (Num.21:4) And they journeyed from mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, to compass the land of Edom: and the soul of the people was much discouraged because of the way. Do you know how to become discouraged, anxious or troubled? You pay attention to the things that are and you don't pay attention to what God has given you, which are the many promises in the Word. And it doesn't ever stop with just discouragement, but next you begin to speak against the Lord. (Num.21:5) And the people spake against God.... And when you speak against God, the next step is God's judgment. We sometimes live continually under the judgment and the chastenings of the Lord because we speak against God. We add to or take away from the Word and, in so doing, we don't come out from under the curse.   Now, not everybody believes this but the Bible says that God sent the curse. We've been told the devil is behind it all, but if you read Deuteronomy 28, God says over and over, “Cursed shalt thou be....” (Deu.28:15) But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day, that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee. And then He details the curse from verse 16 all the way down through verse 68. But even though God sent the curse, He also sent Jesus to deliver us from the curse. So, here we are under the curse because of our sins and our rebellion against God, but Jesus came to deliver us from the curse through our faith in Him and subsequent submission to Him.   We came under the curse because we submitted to self and the devil, and God sent the curse to motivate us to repent. Jesus offers us the ability to turn around and go the other way because Jesus has already delivered us from the curse and His salvation is total. (Num.21:5) And the people spake against God, and against Moses, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? for there is no bread, and there is no water; and our soul loatheth this light bread. (The manna from heaven; the Word.) (6) And the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and much people of Israel died. (7) And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, because we have spoken against the Lord.... Well, they were walking only by the sight of their natural eyes and that caused them to speak against the Lord.    Why didn't they see and hear the Word? God told them He was their “Jehovah-Jireh.” (Gen.22:14) And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovah-jireh. As it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be provided. If that would have been foremost in their mind, they never would have become discouraged. And the quicker you see and hear that, the quicker the end result comes, which is God's provision. God told Joshua, (Jos.1:8) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate thereon day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. He would have “good success” in doing what? Joshua would have good success in conquering the Promised Land. We'll have good success conquering this Promised Land, if we don't let anything but the Word of God come out of our mouth.  The sooner we submit the sooner the answer comes. Psa 81:13-14 Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways!  14  I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries.   The serpent bite just symbolizes any manifestation of the curse, such as a sickness, or oppressing spirits, or lack of any kind. The curse of sin and of death has bitten all of those who have disagreed with God. And, to the extent that we are disagreeing with God now, we live under the curse of sin and of death. Our hope of coming out from under the curse of sin and of death is to get our eyes on the promises we have in the Word and agree with God. And, of course, that's exactly what God did here. What was His cure? What's an antidote for a snakebite? The antidote is to have a little bit of the poison in you, until your system builds up an immunity to it. You know, we didn't choose to be sinners, did we? (Rom. 8:20) For the creation was subjected to vanity, not of its own will, but by reason of him who subjected it, in hope (21) that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. The Lord subjected this creation to vanity. We all have a little bit of snakebite.    Nobody can get further away from sin than somebody who's been in it. The elect angels desire to look into God's grace and salvation. They're curious about it because, since they've never been sinners, they've never needed it. We need it! We will be the creation that God wants after being delivered from sin. If God only wanted angels, He would have made us all angels! God didn't want only angels; He wanted people who were sinners and who were redeemed by His grace through faith. He wants sons who are saved through faith because then they appreciate God and they understand grace! Jesus taught this in (Luk.7:40) And Jesus answering said unto him, Simon, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And he saith, Teacher, say on. (41) A certain lender had two debtors: the one owed five hundred shillings, and the other fifty. (42) When they had not wherewith to pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?     (43) Simon answered and said, He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most. And he said unto him, Thou hast rightly judged. (44) And turning to the woman, he said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thy house, thou gavest me no water for my feet: but she hath wetted my feet with her tears, and wiped them with her hair. (45) Thou gavest me no kiss: but she, since the time I came in, hath not ceased to kiss my feet. (46) My head with oil thou didst not anoint: but she hath anointed my feet with ointment. (47) Wherefore I say unto thee, Her sins, which are many, are forgiven; for she loved much: but to whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. (48) And he said unto her, Thy sins are forgiven. (49) And they that sat at meat with him began to say within themselves, Who is this that even forgiveth sins? (50) And he said unto the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.   You know, we can love God more than the angels can because we've been forgiven of much. We understand grace. God sent Jesus to give us this grace and all we have to do is get our eyes on what Jesus accomplished for us at the cross. (Num.21:8) And the Lord said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a standard: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he seeth it, shall live. (9) And Moses made a serpent of brass, and set it upon the standard: and it came to pass, that if a serpent had bitten any man, when he looked unto the serpent of brass, he lived. We have to get our eyes on the serpent on the pole. Don't be tempted to look at the world! Don't be tempted to look at the “snakebite”! Don't be tempted to look at the sin or the sickness or whatever the trial is that you're going through.   It's not introspection that's going to save you. Popular psychology teaches “inner healing,” but it's all straight from the devil because it's introspection. God doesn't tell you to inspect your sin! He doesn't tell you to inspect your sickness! He doesn't tell you to inspect the “snakebite”! He tells you to get your eyes on what He's done for you; everything else causes unbelief. (2Co.5:21) Him who knew no sin he made [to be] sin on our be half; that we might become the righteousness of God in him. Jesus became sin for us. Everything that we were that was degenerate was put upon Him. The exchange has been made. Can you see your sin, your corruption, your sickness all put upon Him? This is what you are supposed to see and spiritual senses are the only way we can see according to the Word.   Praise be to God! Keep your eyes on Jesus, saints! Keep praising and thanking God for all that He's accomplished for us! Hallelujah!     I Want To Capture You  Debbie Fenske 7/12/24  This worship night was a very special time of worship. Michael encouraged us to just give Jesus our all, to just give everything up. Nothing, and no one is more important than our closeness with Jesus, and our complete giving up of ourselves in love unto Him in worship, feeling His presence and His love holding us.  So, as I was worshiping Jesus with one of the worship songs, there was such a strong sense of His Spirit there, right up there in the midst of me and Sue, where Chuc and Matthew were. I could see Jesus looking out over all of us, so touched by our hearts in worship of Him, and so full of love for us.  Then Jesus said, “Will you let Me capture you? I want to capture you this night.”  After we finished the last song, Chuc kept strumming beautiful music on his guitar, and letting us know that he was receiving from the Lord that someone had a prophetic song to give. He spoke that out a few times. I finally felt that I should just begin singing out what I knew the Lord was wanting to say, with the worshipful tune Chuc was playing on His guitar. But only part of the word was sung.    “I want to capture you. Will you let Me capture you this night? You are mine and I want all of you. Let Me capture you. Let everything go and let Me capture you. This is My heart tonight.    Look only at Me. You must not let your weaknesses, and the thought that you are not yet good enough, hold you back any longer. For I see within you deeper than you see within yourself. I am not seeing your weaknesses. I see your heart. And I know the depth of your love. And I see and know your desire and heart of love towards Me, I see you allowing Me to have My way in you.  So this is a time of freedom as you let Me capture you. So I say again, let Me capture you this night. This is the night of My Capture.”    Then Winnie shared, as confirmation, this scripture that the Lord had put on her heart earlier before the meeting.   2Co 12:9-10 And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10 Wherefore I take pleasure in weaknesses, in injuries, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.  The Lord also put this scripture in her mind today:  2Co 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the exceeding greatness of the power may be of God, and not from ourselves;  Praise you Father for Your great love and mercy towards us. And that You love us with such a great love, and that You want all of us. Thank You that You, God, see in us the finished product. And by faith we see that too, Lord. Your glory in us. We want all of You, Jesus, and we want You to have all of us. So, yes, Lord. Capture us!      Do Diligence  Debbie Fenske – 6/21/24  I would like to give out this word that the Lord began speaking to me about 5:30 this evening. I felt some things I heard shared tonight by Chuc in his prayers during worship time, and I think also in some things David was saying, too, went along with this word.  “My people, do diligence. Diligence, diligence, My people. Allow every aspect of your life to be operated with diligence. Diligently listen for Me. Diligently listen to Me. Diligently know Me in My word and your times of worshiping Me. I long for the hearts that diligently worship Me, in praying to Me, and diligently doing warfare, letting go of every form of self-effort, trusting Me completely in every area of your life. Your life must be a sacrificial diligence in doing all that you know to do, by My grace. Ask Me. I will grace you with a diligent spirit and a diligent mind.  I see much effort. Add diligence in your efforts in walking with Me in every area of living and abiding in Me, My people, called to be in My Bride. Yes, this must needs go out to all those called to be, and desiring to be in My Bride. How close at hand is the time. Be My diligent Shulamite. I am calling for you. I am calling for more of you.”

Faction Cannot Prevail (5) (audio)  David Eells – 7/9/23  Destruction of Satanist Faction Camp to Free the Women and Others David Eells -7/7/03 I was praying for the women that the satanist faction cult was taking advantage of in our part 4, where the angels showed the destruction of their camp. (As with almost all dreams, they are not real time, but prophecies of what is coming.  Heb 11:1 Now faith is assurance of things hoped for, conviction of things unseen.  Both sets of angels who have spoken to us agreed. They told us many times things like “it's already done”, or “He is already here.” They do not dwell in time and speak that way. They have always told us to believe we have received before we see the promised revelations fulfilled as Jesus said in Mar 11:24.  I asked the Lord to give me a word by faith at random about that destruction of their camp and the freedom of the captives and put my finger on “Thy salvation cometh”, wow. (Jesus in the Man-child body of overcomers is coming to destroy the Edomite Factious camp and to set the captives free; too open the prison to them that are bound as in Isa 61, Jesus' first sermon.) Isa 62:11  Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion (the Bride), Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his (Jesus) reward is with him, and his recompense before him. (I.e., Judgment of the wicked faction to deliver the Bride and trafficked women and children, before the Bride is rewarded.) 12  And they shall call them The holy people, The redeemed of Jehovah: and thou shalt be called Sought out, A city not forsaken. (Many will see the anointing on the resurrection of the Kingdom with its new power and fruit.) Isa 63:1  Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? (This is the factious Edomite stronghold, representing the satanist faction camp and their trafficking of women and children.) this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. 2  Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat? 3  I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment. 4  For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed is come.   Bride Escapes - Updated Anonymous – 7-5-23 In this dream I saw a story of 5 different people, both men and women. Each of them had a different story and testimony but all of them had fallen away from The Truth and had been ensnared by the enemy and had gone off the narrow path.    I don't remember the stories of the first 4 people but they did come back to the Truth and they were set free from the captivity.  I remember the ending for the 5th person which was a lady who had fallen away from Jesus, and she had been taken captive by satanists, and they had prepared to crucify her. (This was Eve but she represents the captured women also.) Now everything was set up for this murder, and they had an alter that she was tied to while being naked, and they were just about to kill and sacrifice her.  (The Satanists molest the sacrifice before the kill. The revelation of the satanists showed us Kevin standing behind Eve with his hands on her shoulder with a semicircle of other satanists behind him.  The Lord told me who these men are and we know them and we have a file on every one of them. They are the previous factious leaders who all hated Eve for she revealed the truth about them in her dreams. And also they are the few locals who serve Kevin whom we also know. I told Kevin years ago that he would unite all the factions but I knew it was to destroy them. They know they would all hang if caught but the Man-child is coming to slaughter them.) But then something happened, and all the satanists had extreme fear and they all scattered and ran far away from this alter. (The destruction of their camp began. They ran away from this alter because they don't want to be associated with something that will get them hanged at Gitmo, or 4 other places, with the other trafficking satanists. Too late, we know them all.) The lady was left there alone and able to now escape and I knew Jesus had saved her and given her another chance to be part of Him.   (When I was cooking, I had a revelation that these 5 people are people that fell away from UBM but they will be back fully with Jesus. (Oh no, Kevin, witnesses, against you and the other satanists! I told Kevin years ago that his own trusted people would witness against him. Better set the women free quickly Kevin and make sure they are in good shape.)   The 5th lady is Eve, who the enemy had planned to sacrifice, but Jesus in the Man-child instead set the captives free. (Just as in Isa 61, which is the beginning of the Man-child ministry as it was with Jesus.)     Faith Overcomes Witchcraft Attacks  Anonymous 5/15/23 (David's notes in red)  I dreamt that I was walking through a forest with brethren, and we came to an open area that had demonic symbolism drawn into the dirt. There was this creepy altar set up and a giant stick that had a human body stuck into it and bones all over the ground. (Evil altars of Satan worship have been found all over the country. Jdg 6:25-27 And it came to pass the same night, that Jehovah said unto him, Take thy father's bullock, even the second bullock seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the Asherah that is by it; 26 and build an altar unto Jehovah thy God upon the top of this stronghold, in the orderly manner, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt-offering with the wood of the Asherah which thou shalt cut down.   27 Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as Jehovah had spoken unto him: and it came to pass, because he feared his father's household and the men of the city, so that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night. (This is sacrificing to demons like the satanists do.) 1Co 10:19  What say I then? that a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything? 20  But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have communion with demons. 21  Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and of the table of demons.  Joh 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. These satanists have killed our people for various reasons. Because they were witnesses of their sins, because they were partakers of the GCR and would help UBM, because of their dreams, etc.)   We all started praying intensely in tongues and in our mind. Then I saw in spirit that there were a group of witches and warlocks that gathered here in the forest to worship Satan, and that each of them was assigned to kill at least one person. I saw that as they were gathered here, they all began to shapeshift into crows (Unclean spirit birds)  and flew off back to where they came from. Rev 18:2  And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird.  Some of them flew to different parts of USA and some flew to different parts of Mexico. (Cursing thoughts and words send witchcraft attacks against others in the spiritual realm that manifest in the physical.)  Psa 5:9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is very wickedness; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue. Jas 3:8-10 but the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison. 9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God: 10 out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.  I then saw one of the witches fly to an underground subway that was packed with people, as she hit the ground she turned into her human form. She stabbed this random white man, and then she turned back into a crow and flew off.  (Sandy saw witches go to the cities to release curses.) I saw a warlock fly into a shopping center in Mexico as a crow, and then turn into a human when touching the ground and he beat up this random man, then flew off leaving the man for dead.   Each of the warlocks had been told to half-kill someone and leave them to die later, and then come back later to grab the body and to bring it to this spot.  (They curse people who die as a sacrifice to satan for his power.) I thought this whole situation is crazy, and I told the brethren what I saw so that they could specifically pray regarding it.   I then heard in the spirit a lady screaming, and then I saw her bleeding and in very much pain; she appeared to be in an abandoned dirty white concrete building.  I asked God to take us there. Then we appeared out the front of the white concrete building, and it looked like it was in the same forest where I saw the altar. (We can and do rescue some of their victims by God's grace.)  A woman was inside crying and groaning in pain, and we went in. We could see that she was bleeding heavily and looked as if she was about to die. (Some have had unreasonable pains that we drive off by faith.  If accepted who knows what they would receive.) As we went in, it was made known to us the evil people had attacked her with knives and left her for dead, with the intention of collecting her body after. (representing for sacrifice) We started sharing with her the Real Good News, that Jesus paid the price for her to be set free and completely healed, and she doesn't have to accept death or pain or bleeding. She agreed with Jesus, and we encouraged her to only think about Jesus and to thank Jesus in her mind, "Thank you Jesus for healing me."   I told her to keep thanking Jesus speaking out loud that he healed her and to not think about anything else. And to keep thanking Jesus and that the healing would manifest. She agreed and kept thanking Jesus in her mind and with her mouth. We told her that if the warlocks come back to call on Jesus and He will save her, and the enemy will flee. (There is power in speaking the Word.) Rom 10:9-10 because if thou shalt confess with thy mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe in thy heart that God raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved: 10 for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.  Act 2:21 And it shall be, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.  We left her and kept praying and we asked God to take us to another victim, and suddenly, we were in a busy subway underground and there was a white man lying on the ground dead. But no one wanted to touch him, and everyone was trying to ignore him. We thought that was so strange because usually even people in the world would rush to help someone dying. It reminded me how if someone had leprosy and no one would touch them or want anything to do with them.   I looked over and saw the warlock in crow form, sitting up near the roof watching everything.   We went over to the dead white man, and we said, “In the nature, character and authority of Jesus, Arise”. He came to life, but he still had the marks from being stabbed. We felt God wanted the marks to stay there so he could witness of what happened and we told him that. Mat 10:7-8 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons: freely ye received, freely give.   NENT Joh 20:27-29 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not unbelieving, but believing. 28 Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God. 29 Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, hast thou believed? blessed they that have not seen, and have believed.  We were then taken to the shopping center where the beat-up man was. He was groaning and, in much pain, as if dying. But no one would help him, and everyone would ignore him. (Many Christians do not have the knowledge or faith to do this job but those who do should act.)  We went up to him and spoke to him about Jesus, but he didn't believe, and he said he deserves this and confessed the curse. He didn't want to hear the Truth. (Many don't have the understanding of justification by faith in the sacrifice. What is spoken comes from the heart and will come to pass, good or evil. Luk 6:45 NENT The good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth the good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth the evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.)  We wanted to know why everyone was ignoring this man, so we went into the office that was near where this man was laying and spoke to a man behind the counter. We asked why everyone was ignoring that man and not wanting to help. He said that he couldn't talk about it and to not speak about it.  There was another man sitting nearby and who overheard us speaking, and he said to us, “The warlocks around here run everything. They kill people all the time, and if anyone interferes with them, they get hurt too, so everyone just minds their own business. The warlocks will collect the body when the man dies. No one will talk about it because they fear the warlocks.” We said, "Jesus is greater" and the man said he would like to see that. Joh 16:33 NENT These things have I spoken to you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.  We went back out to the man to talk about Jesus, but he didn't want to hear it. Then we were taken back to the altar in the woods, and there were now more bodies there. So, we commanded in the authority of Jesus that no more bodies can be brought here, and no more people can be killed by these people. (Pray about it, declare it to stop in His Name, have faith and it will cease.) NENT Luk 10:19 Lo, I have given you the authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.  Job 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; And light shall shine upon thy ways.  Mar 11:23 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.    The lady who had been dying in the concrete building, then appeared. She was now whole, and she was praising God, because Jesus had completely healed her because of her faith. (Exercising faith has proven results. Agree with the Word and have His love and blessings. Believe, speak and testify to others.) Mar 5:34 And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.      Watch and Fight with God's Weapons  Vanessa Weeks - May 2023 (David's notes in red)  In a dream, some of us in UBM were in a room that was made of wood. It was daytime and sunny, and there were windows around the room. A few bees came in and were bothering us. (The enemy from outside our house, sent to disturb us. (The ones that only follow the unleavened bread are protected in the ark of the Lord and the promises from the wooden cross.)  Some of us were sitting in chairs, and I was in a chair with a tall back. I was leaning back in it and was half asleep.1Th 5:5-8 for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;  6 so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that are drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.   I could hear some people to my left who were also resting in chairs were being bothered by bees. I knew these bees were flying around their heads (these are thoughts that bother us), and some others had cans of bug spray. They were spraying the bees so they would leave, but it was not working. (The weapons of man do not work. 2Co 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh 4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ;)  I was trying to sleep during this, and then some bees came over to my left ear and were buzzing. Someone came over to spray the bees where I was, and I knew it would not work. The bug spray was disturbing me more than the bees, so I said to myself, "I will have to get up and tell the bees to go." And so, I stood up to my right and told the bees to go, and knew they had to obey me. Then I woke up (in real life.) (Self-works masks the symptoms but it often brings with it other curses. We are told to speak to the mountain and it will remove. Mar 11:23-24 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it.)  Eph 6:11-17 Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.   14 Stand therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 withal taking up the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:   I believe the Lord is saying that when the enemy is coming against others in the body, we need to fight for them, or the enemy may attack us. This is what happened to me in the dream and the Lord has been exhorting us to use His weapons to fight for each other. We are members one of another.      Dream of Bees Removing The Veil  Isaac Payne 2/12/21 (David's notes in red)  In this dream, I was inside what seemed like an Antique Mall. (An antique mall means, “a place where something of, or belonging to, ancient times is sold.) Jer 6:16 Thus saith Jehovah, Stand ye in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way; and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls: but they said, We will not walk therein.  The mall (The mall is what the world loves, the things of the world and “Buying and selling”.) was dingy and had dull colors. This Mall was 4 or 5 stories high and the length of the building seemed endless. People close to me in my social circle in life were with me. (I don't know who they were, just that they were following me.) This mall was packed with people, literally shoulder to shoulder and there was no room for anyone to walk around or shop. (I don't think people were there to shop though.) I don't know what floor I was on, but I knew I had to find Brother David. However, it was too congested to even move let alone try to exit the mall if you wanted to leave.   Suddenly, a path was made for me between the people (People could represent “the nations” or Babylon.) and it was clear and concise. (The Way of holiness into the wilderness. Psa 77:19 Thy way was in the sea, And thy paths in the great waters, And thy footsteps were not known.)   The people were moved to the left side and the right side and remained standing in a single file line. It was like the Red Sea parting, except it was people instead of water this time. Like I stated before, I knew I had to find Brother David! I walked through these paths that were made for me, looking for David. In the carnal this would have been an impossible task to find Brother David, but my path was clear and I had no doubts of finding him. I was just looking at everyone to see if it was Brother David. (Isaac searching for bother David amongst all the people, could represent “looking for the coming man-child/David's” to follow.)  I made it to the top floor of this building and came to the end of the line where there stood a door. Everyone was waiting at the door with what seemed like permission to enter the room beyond the door. (Permission means, “consent or authorization.” Believers have authority to use the Name of Jesus and the keys to the Kingdom of God.) The room beyond the door was not crowded and had ample space. (The room is not crowded because not many will enter through this door. Mat 7:13-14 Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. 14 For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it.)  While standing in the path, I looked through the left side of the line with everyone standing single file, "No Brother David there." I looked at the right side of the line with everyone standing single file, and there was Brother David standing right before the door in a single file line. He was wearing a beekeeper's veil covering his head. It wasn't a bad thing, not a veil over his eyes by no means, yet it was more like, Exo 34:33-34 And when Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face. 34 But when Moses went in before Jehovah to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded.   David said to me, "I'll meet you in room number 1900." The next room beyond the doors was room # 1900. (This number is a date that many equate to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in a much larger way. https://www2.cbn.com/article/revival/revival-changed-century ) David walked in and began to talk with me. It seemed like Michael Hare was with us also. It seemed like the elders were giving me Godly instruction of things to come. (1Pe 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder. Yea, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to serve one another: for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.)  Suddenly, I was translated to another room, except this room was not dingy but very white. (Taken into the holy place.) There was white all around, the floors, the walls, I don't remember there being a ceiling though. (We have an open heaven made available to us by the power of the Holy Spirit.) I was standing by myself in this inner room, but still there were people crowded on the left and the right side of the outer room standing single file waiting to enter beyond what seemed like a door. But this time there wasn't any evidence of a door just more like an invisible door preventing access. The path between the people was still clear as earlier.   Bees suddenly started swarming the rooms and seemed to be attacking everyone. (The bees represent demons and factious attacks. Beelzebub is the same as Baalzebub, which means, “lord of the flies.”) Then I saw David walking through the path coming into this inner room, he had the beekeeper's veil still on and took it off in the midst of the swarm of bees. And he said, "I'm taking this stupid thing off." None of the bees were attacking him, not even a sting as he walked through the midst of them. (We have authority in Jesus' name over the “bees” which are demons, and they cannot touch us when we know who we are in Christ.) He walked beyond the invisible doors and came next to me and sat down on the ground. I also was sitting on the ground also. (I think the beekeeper's veil represents “man's work or a physical form of protection.” It could also be a covering, concealing the glories in a person. We are told the veil is the flesh in Hebrews, which blinds us to the holy of holies. Moses wore the veil so people would recognize him. It hid the glory on his face which was divine. When in the Lord's presence he took it off.  As we get closer to the Lord, the veil is removed so we can behold Him more as He is, [no more flesh] and no longer have need a physical form of protection. Son 4:1 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; Thine eyes are as doves behind thy veil. Thy hair is as a flock of goats, That lie along the side of mount Gilead. Son 6:7 Thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate Behind thy veil.)  Bees suddenly started swarming the rooms and seemed to be attacking everyone. (The bees represent demons and factious attacks.) Then I saw David walking through the path coming into this inner room, he had the beekeeper's veil still on and he took it off in the midst of the swarm of bees. He said, "I'm taking this stupid thing off." None of the bees were attacking him, not even a sting as he walked through the midst of them. He walked beyond the invisible doors and came next to me and sat down on the ground. I also was sitting on the ground also.  After him, I saw our sister, Mrs. Arney walking the same path into the inner room wearing the beekeeper's veil, but it was very loose as to not provide any protection, (concealing her glory) but again, the bees did not attack her at all, not even a sting. I looked next to me and sitting on the ground on the right side of David was Brother Brandy Arney. We were both sitting on the right side of David and Brother Arney wasn't wearing a beekeeper's veil either and none of the bees attacked him, not even a sting.   The bees were in both rooms now. At this point I believe David, Brother Arney and Sister Arney were NOT wearing the beekeepers' veils and the bees did not attack them. I saw other people come into this room. I did not recognize them. They tried the veil on, but once they did the bees would engulf the inside of the beekeeper's veil and start to sting them. I took the veil and tried it on. I made like a tent out of it, and no bees came in and they were not attacking me.  I sat there with the beekeeper's veil overtop of me with no issues. I looked next to me and saw Brother David smirking at me. I thought to myself, "Uh oh, what are you doing Brother David?" He had his leg on one side of the beekeeper's veil that I made a tent out of. His leg was holding down the veil so bees did not get in. There was a bee just flying around his leg. Still smirking he lifted his leg and the bee flew underneath his leg into this beekeeper veil I was underneath. The bee came toward my feet and just flew around, but never stinging me or causing me any trouble.   Me and Brother David began to laugh really hard, as it was a funny gesture that he did. I was glad that he had done that. (I really believe this part reminds me of what Brother Michael Hare was talking about, parents letting their children go through their own trials to build them up and make them stronger children. I think this was showing me, like Michael stated, we don't want to smother our children and never let them grow up because of our own selfishness, and I feel that was what Father was showing me and how UBM is maturing the saints to produce faith.)      Seducing Spirit   Tianna Fire 4/11/23 (David's notes in red)  In a dream I saw a demon that disguised itself as a woman, and I felt it disguised as a man too, but I was seeing it as a woman. (Deception is a primary tactic the enemy will use.) NENT Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said to them, Take heed that no one lead you astray. (These sexual perverted demons are in the factious. Once God corrected me about the factious being dogs.  He said no some of them are hyenas. It's a weird dog that changes sex.  I.e. Bisexuals. There are many of these in the faction.)  It would specifically target men and women that are desiring to follow Jesus. I watched it jump onto sleeping men and awake them and it would lie on them with its false fake pretty face and bewitch them as if they were put under a spell, and it would trigger all these pleasurable senses on the men. (Being asleep represents not being spiritually awake and not discerning the Truth.) I saw under the false pretty face and its face was really ugly, distorted, and scary like a scary creature in a horror film. (Incubus emulates a man and succubus emulates a woman. These are demons that emulate sex with humans. Incubus had wings.) Its body was extremely thin, and it was shaped like a human and it had wings, but on the outside appearance to this man it looked like a nice human body. Also there are the frogs. (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. And Heqet/Heket was an Egyptian goddess of fertility, represented in the form of a frog.)  Gen 8:2 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. 5 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Say unto Aaron, Stretch forth thy hand with thy rod over the rivers, over the [a]streams, and over the pools, and cause frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt.  The creature would trick, seduce, and bewitch the people it got on top of, doing sexual things with it, and it was extremely hard for them to resist even if their hearts didn't want to; it was a big battle for them. The man heard it speak with a gentle nice women's voice, but I saw it with a giant creepy mouth and giant teeth and it made a creepy scream or roar.  (Pray before going to sleep, pray for the blessing of discernment. Pray for other brethren to be protected. Remember: Pro 3:24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: Yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.   Psa 4:8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep; For thou, Jehovah, alone makest me dwell in safety.   And Isa 44:20 He feedeth on ashes; a deceived heart hath turned him aside; and he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?   And 2Pe 3:17 Ye therefore, beloved, knowing beforehand, beware lest, carried away with the error of the wicked, ye fall from your own steadfastness.)      Targeting Bride Vision - Update  Anonymous 6/3/23 (David's notes in red)  I saw a woman with bleached blonde hair sitting on a chair. (A fake Bride, with fake submission to the sun/Son, Eve, whose mind was taken over by the demons in Kevin because he lusted after her and hated her dreams that told on him. Like any mom, she only wanted her sons back and they deceived her. Only Jesus can get them back but both her and Eddie are unbelievers now and the believing parents sanctify the children according to 1Co 7. We pray unceasingly for her boys.)  Standing right behind her was a man, (Kevin) and further behind them were other men, and they were all in this satanic looking church. I felt they were witches and satanists knowingly.  (The Lord told me who these men are the previous factious leaders who all hated Eve for she revealed the truth about them. And also they are the few locals who serve Kevin's demons whom we also know. I told Kevin years ago that he would unite all the factions but I knew it was to destroy them when the man-child comes.) As soon as I saw them, I didn't want to see it, so I rebuked it and thought of scripture, but it came back. The man and woman said they will kill me, and fear and unbelief tried to jump on me, but I didn't agree with it. I thought "No you won't, God won't let you. I am hidden in Christ, in the secret place of the Most High, and it's not I who lives but Christ living in me." Then the man standing directly behind her (The actual Satanic leader is the demonic power in Kevin who is only duped.) made a cutting the throat sign with his hands, and I said, “That won't ever happen,” and it all went away because I didn't accept or agree with it. (So far, they can only take out the willfully disobedient or unbelieving. Most recently the faction sent demons of unbelief and doubt which subtly turn against myself and the ministry speaking against our direction, which was confirmed by Word, prophecy angels, etc.  Cast them down in all their forms. This is a test to purify the Bride.)  I asked God if I have done something wrong to see this, and I felt He said that they aren't coming just against you, but they are targeting Jesus' Bride and His elect. But specifically attacking the Bride with assignments of death, but they won't prevail. I felt they will be, and are, sending lying symptoms and lying thoughts and feelings related to death but to cast it all down because, we won't die but we will live and declare the works of the Lord, and Jesus set us free from the law of sin and death. I felt these satanists won't be able to touch Jesus' Bride because, they won't believe these lies, and the enemy can only stay afflicting those that believe he has the right to afflict them.   I got Rev12:1-8 for this dream. Here the Dragon seeks to devour the Man-child and Woman but fails. Instead, they cast him and his body of accusers out of heaven. God is going to free His elect people from bondage to the predator Dragon of Babylon. The mouth and words of Satan tried to devour the Man-child and Woman and failed because the saints in the crucified life are full of faith. Rev 12:9-12 ASV And the great dragon (Satan in his body of his believers)was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.   10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night. (Like the Satan Faction prove who is their father by being the accuser of the brethren. John the Baptist and then Jesus rebuked these same people in their day.)   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 dwell in them. Woe for the earth and for the sea: because the devil is gone down unto you, having great wrath, knowing that he hath but a short time.      His Choice  Anonymous 6/29/23 (David's notes in red)  I dreamt I was invited to this rich man's house, whom I had never met before, and his house was located on a giant mountain, and the views were absolutely gorgeous. (The giant mountain represents the Kingdom of God, Mount Zion. Lord Jesus is the Richest of All, His place is in the best location and views ever.)  I did not know when I first arrived, but I learned later how this man had done background searches on many different women to find one to marry. (He searches our hearts.) He had narrowed it down to me and one other lady who was thin and had blonde hair.  When I first got there, I didn't know why I was there, but the man invited me and this other lady into his giant modern mansion. It was extremely clean and the air was very fresh. (The mansion represents the house of King Jesus and a place of holiness.) NENT Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare you a place, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, YE be also.  The man toured us around the house and asked us a lot of questions about ourselves and he didn't say much but observed each of us continually. Psa 33:18 Behold, the eye of Jehovah is upon them that fear him, Upon them that hope in his lovingkindness.  Job 34:21 For his eyes are upon the ways of a man, And he seeth all his goings.  Pro 15:3 The eyes of Jehovah are in every place, Keeping watch upon the evil and the good.  Heb 4:13 And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.  This lady was pretty, outgoing and very smart and eloquent with words and bright and talkative and she had many gifts and things she was good at. I was the complete opposite to her, me being introverted and having no hobbies other than Jesus, and me not even being a good cook, and not good at words or English. I rarely said anything and when I did say something it was simple and blunt. For example, I am not a good cook, but this lady was an exquisite cook. This lady did most of the speaking the whole time, she was extroverted, which I was fine with, because I didn't have much to say. (The Jezebel spirit is prideful and desires to be recognized, which is completely contrary to what the Lord is looking for in a Bride. Psa 116:6 Jehovah preserveth the simple: I was brought low, and he saved me.)  1Pe 3:2-5 beholding your chaste behavior coupled with fear. 3 Whose adorning let it not be the outward adorning of braiding the hair, and of wearing jewels of gold, or of putting on apparel; 4 but let it be the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible apparel of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 5 For after this manner aforetime the holy women also, who hoped in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection to their own husbands.  When the three of us sat on the couch, he told us that he had researched us and done background checks and he was going to choose one of us as his wife.  Jer 17:10  I, Jehovah, search the mind, I try the heart, even to give every man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.  Psa 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts; 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting.  2Ch 16:9 For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him.  The blonde lady stood up as if offended that he was comparing me to her, and she said I was boring. She got all upset and started saying things about me that were not nice, and she had a meltdown and went into another room to cry. The room she went into was glass so I could see what was going on. (Totally revealing of all things in the self, nothing is hidden and is all plain to see.)  Pro 23:7 For as he thinketh within himself, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; But his heart is not with thee.  Gal 6:3 For if a man thinketh himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.  Rom 1:29-32 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,   31 without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful: 32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practice them.  Jas 3:14 But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom is not a wisdom that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.  I just sat there the whole time with neutral feelings and emotions. The man got up and went into the glass room to talk to the lady. (The elders try to talk to them, to minister the Word and get them to confess their sin and repent.) I assumed it was to comfort her, which was fine. I felt bad that she was hurt, and I expected the man to come tell me to leave.  As I watched them, the women looked like she was yelling, and then the man said something to her, and she got all upset again and stormed off. (The factious do not receive correction. They have pride, unforgiveness, and rejection and get offended easily; if they do not submit to the Word and repent, they get mad and leave.)  Then he came back and told me he had asked her to leave. (NENT Mat 7:23 And then will I profess to them that I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work lawlessness.)  1Co 13:1-8 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing.   4 Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; 6 rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; 7 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. 8 Love never faileth.      Fake Fellowship To Plunder The Kingdom Exposed   Tianna Fire 4/27/23 (David's notes in red)  I had a dream that there was a young man and a woman casually hanging around outside what was my house in the dream. (Not like my house in real life.) I was friendly to them and they acted friendly back and acted as if they were interested in Jesus and the Truth. They seemed like baby Christians, new in the Lord.   I didn't feel led to invite them into the house, but the way they were speaking was that they wanted to come inside to fellowship. They used Bible verses that say to help those in need and to help those interested in Jesus and to have grace towards them etc. (Beware that satan uses some truth to enter.) I let them come inside to speak about Jesus. (1Co 13:7 Love beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.)  They looked around the house trying to be casual, and they actually did not want to speak about the real truth. Instead, it turned out they were really interested in the setup of the house, what was in each room and where our valuables were. I told them we didn't have many material items and our most valuable items would be our Bibles, and the most expensive physical thing we have is a laptop and phone. They didn't believe me, and they wanted to look in the bedrooms to find something with more physical value. I said there's only boxes and children's toys in those rooms. (1Sa 16:7 for man looketh on the outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh on the heart.)  After this they were quick to leave, and I followed them to the exit door. The lady walked out the door first and the man was still inside about to walk out, and I saw clearly in the spirit that they were pretending to follow and be interested in Jesus to trick me so they could come in to check out the house to later rob it.   I could see this was true, and as I saw it, I spoke it out to them. The man stopped walking and turned to me, and he looked so shocked and taken back that I could know that. The woman turned to me and was shocked too, but then she started to defend herself and make up excuses and say it wasn't true and she told the man to hurry, and they both left. I felt that they would still try to come back and steal things, but I would just lock everything up and pray and everything would also be fine. (The factious seek to gain control and they always steal when they get the chance.)      Enemy Puts On A Show  Anonymous 7/1/23 (David's notes in red)    In my dream David and Michael had a giant forest that was possibly 1000 acres or more. All the brethren lived on this land in their own house in a different section and there were main areas where the brethren would gather. (This is a promise we expect to receive for the the true people of God.)  I went to one of the main buildings used for gathering and I saw Kevin there, holding an assault rifle and pacing around everywhere.  I ran and told Michael (Michael means, "Who is like God?") And Michael told me that he is just putting on a show, that he can't harm us even if he wanted to. God won't let him even shoot, but he just walks around trying to intimidate us. Michael was calm and had such extreme faith. (The enemy prowls around, trying to devour us. Yet we are hidden in Christ and protected by Our Almighty Father.) 1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.  For a while the factious man just walked around everywhere holding the gun, trying to get us to fear him, but everyone just ignored him and eventually he left and never came back again. NENT Jas 4:7 Be subject therefore to God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  One late night, I was in the house I lived in, and I had a question about the Word but no one else was awake for me to ask. I looked out my window and it was dark and all I could see was trees. As I was looking outside, I noticed these lights flashing around, and it was David and Michael. They walked to my house with flashlights. (Carrying the Word, the Light of Truth, going about pushing the darkness out of the way.)  1Pe 5:2-3 Tend the flock of God which is among you, exercising the oversight, not of constraint, but willingly, according to the will of God; nor yet for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; 3 neither as lording it over the charge allotted to you, but making yourselves ensamples to the flock.  Heb 13:17 Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit to them: for they watch in behalf of your souls, as they that shall give account; that they may do this with joy, and not with grief: for this were unprofitable for you.  I was super excited, because God answered my prayer as I had a question so I ran out to them. They told me they were just patrolling, yet they were happy to answer my question. (Father and Jesus are always protecting us and watching over us, even when we don't think they are.)      On A Leash  Tianna Fire - September 2022 (David's notes in red)  In the woman's fellowship, when the women were praying, I saw a giant black demon that had a head of a stag beetle cross with a bull and a human shaped body. The demon had its head up high with pride and its shoulders pushed back and it had big strong muscles and looked so fierce and strong. The demon looked down on me and it was radiating pride and tried to make me fear it, due to its physical appearance. It physically looked so tough. Behind the demon was all darkness.   I then saw it fall face down as if someone had kicked it down from its back. I saw on the demon's neck a chain and I looked up above to where the chain was leading, and it led to a bright light that looked like a hole from above. I then saw Jesus sitting down on a throne, holding the end of the chain. (I felt the enemy tries to intimidate us and make us think it's so strong when really the enemy can't do anything unless The Lord allows it. The enemy are just dogs on a leash, and they only have power that is allowed them by God or from us when we are in sin.) (The dog must be a factious person that is bound. The Lord in a dream told us to send the angels to incarcerate the dogs until their lethal injection took effect.)      Witchcraft from the Faction Against the Finances  Winnie Osegueda 2/8/23 (David's notes in red)   I was lying in bed and I was not quite asleep yet and I had the following vision:  It was dark out and I saw a man in front of an ATM outside of a bank attempting to retrieve money. There was a small/medium black dog in a crate and this crate was not the usual dog crate. This crate had much thicker black bars, like they do in prison, as opposed to normal dog crates. It looked exactly like a tiny jail.   The dog attempted to stick its mouth out and bite the man retrieving the money while simultaneously striving to move the crate closer and closer to this man so that he would not be able to get the money. End of vision.   I asked the Lord for a verse by faith at random and received:  Isa 26:5 (3-7 for context) Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee. 4 Trust ye in Jehovah for ever; for in Jehovah, even Jehovah, is an everlasting rock. 5 For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. 6 The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. 7 The way of the just is uprightness: thou that art upright dost direct the path of the just.  I also received:  Psa 103:2-5 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; 5 Who satisfieth thy desire with good things, So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle.       Protected By Faith  Anonymous 5/21/23 (David's notes in red)  I dreamed that I was living in a house with 50 other brethren. We all lived together in unity and sought the Lord every day. (This represents how the true Church should function together.) We had new brethren join us all the time, and everyone was of different spiritual maturity, but we always tried to encourage and build up the faith of the younger brethren in the Lord. (NENT 1Th 5:11 Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do.)  Sometimes bad people would come and try to intimidate us. Sometimes they would break into the house, but it was a test for us, and we had to just stand in faith and not agree with fear. 1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.  One of these times, around 50 bad men all dressed in black gathered outside the house and stood there, staring at us through the windows. (They walked in darkness with evil intent.) We all had to pray and believe that they couldn't do anything, and they couldn't touch the house. We all had strong faith, so the bad guys couldn't do anything, and they eventually just left. (NENT Jas 4:7 Be subject therefore to God; but resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Mar 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.  Mat 18:18-19 ASV  Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.  19  Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven. )  Another time, all the brothers were out together, and only the women were left at the house. Suddenly six men broke into the house, and I ran to a bedroom with some of the sisters, and other sisters hid elsewhere. (Six is the number for fallen man.) Rev 13:18 Here is wisdom. He that hath understanding, let him count the number of the beast; for it is the number of a man: and his number is Six hundred and sixty and six.  I said to the sisters, "Just believe that God won't let them touch you, and they won't be able to touch you. Cast down all fear, doubt, unbelief and they won't even be able to touch you if you believe they can't." (Faith in the promises binds the enemy and conquers fear.)   I tried my best to encourage and build up their faith, but then the bad guys broke into the bedroom, and two of the women had such fear, and the guys were able to grab them and take them away. One of the bad guys came up to me, staring at me, trying to get me to fear. I didn't say anything, but I believed God wouldn't let him touch me. (The enemy cannot do anything without permission given to them from God, or from us. Job 1:11-12 But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will renounce thee to thy face. 12 And Jehovah said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.)   Joh 19:11 Jesus answered him, Thou wouldest have no power against me, except it were given thee from above: therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath greater sin.  1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be watchful: your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour, 9 whom withstand stedfast in your faith, knowing that the same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren who are in the world.  He tried to intimidate me, and get me to doubt God, but I didn't, and the bad man couldn't get closer to me, let alone touch me.   The bad men took those that didn't believe, but the ones that did believe and trusted in God for protection we were kept safe.   (Pro 3:5-6 Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart, And lean not upon thine own understanding: 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, And he will direct thy paths.  Psa 61:3 For thou hast been a refuge for me, A strong tower from the enemy.  The bad men all left, and unfortunately, less than half of the sisters were still here. 1Ti 2:14 and Adam was not beguiled, but the woman being beguiled hath fallen into transgression:)  In the dream, the bad men would return many times and test us on our faith in all different ways, but we were kept safe by our Faith.      Immediate Release  Anonymous 6/30/23 (David's notes in red)  I saw a barn. There were unusual noises, like animals but none I heard before. I didn't want to go to the barn or look inside. (The barn represents the factious territory- they act out of the flesh which is no better than filthy animals.)   I turned to the house nearby on my left. It was dilapidated. Totally unlivable. Screen doors torn off hinges. Window shutters hanging by a single screw. Holes in walls and the roof. (The spiritual house of the factious is filthy and unkept.)   Smoke was coming out of the back room. I went closer and saw gruesome human bodies parts on the overgrown weedy lawn. (The factious demons are sent to dismember those of the Body that do not repent.) I got to the front porch and the wooden boards barely held my weight as though about to snap.   I heard a scream of a woman. I said through my spirit man, 'Don't do one more thing! You cease immediately by command of Sovereign God!' Immediately I heard murmuring and rustling as though cattle were about to be let out the gate. (The demons must obey The Word of God.)   I went into the house. It was so filthy, that a junkyard is cleaner and tidier! I pushed the door down to the back room where I heard the scream. I did not open it but I knocked it to the floor as though I had blown the door off. Two men stood there, like statues – Frozen (The two factious leaders.) They had their eyes to the floor. They had a lady tied up.   I said in my spirit man, 'Freedom in Jesus Name!' The lady then had a bright light all around her and was instantly gone. (The Light is the power and life of Jesus.)   I turned around and as I was walking out of the room, I said in my spirit man, 'Do as the Lord has commanded.' It was as though I had a giant Angel beside me and commanded an order. He flashed red and I did not look back but heard a terrifying cry that faded off into the distance. Then silence.   I walked out of the house, turned around and everything was on fire. (The fire represents the judgement from God that will come upon His enemies.) I turned towards the barn and its doors were wide open and I saw fire from the top. I looked at the ground where body parts had been before and I did not see them or any blood. (God heals and restores the lost and broken.)   I looked ahead to the fields where I walked from, and I thought I saw people together with a bright light glow around them. I went closer and it was as if everyone was cheering that the place was on fire.  The captives are set free! Believe and speak it. I asked for a Word by faith if what I saw was the truth, landed on overthrown, 1Co 10:5 (NENT) But with the greater part of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.  (His work is almost through on the Bride and the enemies will be removed for their testing is almost complete. The hour glass is almost empty.)     Evil Army  Tianna Fire 5/21/23 (David's notes in red)  I saw all the local brethren together worshiping, and they were all in the light and unity in Christ. I then saw an enormous army of evil spirits of all different kinds, hatred, murder, perversion, unbelief, witchcraft, unforgiveness and many more evil spirits. The evil spirits had an enormous variety of weapons and tactics. (The enemy will try anything to try and stop your progress in Christ and worshipping our Father.)  There were waves of these evil spirits and there were so many it heavily outnumbered the brethren. (Job 10:17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, And increasest thine indignation upon me: Changes and warfare are with me. Psa 27:2-3 When evil-doers came upon me to eat up my flesh, Even mine adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell. 3 Though a host should encamp against me, My heart shall not fear: Though war should rise against me, Even then will I be confident.)  The evil army got closer and closer to the brethren, but there was like this invisible wall and roof of protection around them. The evil spirits couldn't get into this individual house of protection. (Psa 91:1-3 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. 2 I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust. 3 For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, And from the deadly pestilence.  Psa 91:9-11 For thou, O Jehovah, art my refuge! Thou hast made the Most High thy habitation; 10 There shall no evil befall thee, Neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent. 11 For he will give his angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways.)  The evil spirits could see them, (but were not able to touch them) and I felt that the evil spirits had such anger and unforgiveness towards the brethren. (Because they cannot accept that they are forever separated from God and their judgement is pending.) They were jealous of the brethren, because they could see that God loves them and God's grace was on them and Jesus was in them. And the evil spirits hate all of this and are pure evil.   The evil spirits tried to scare the brethren by making scary faces and by trying to get them to doubt God, or by trying to make them feel or think anything unholy. The evil spirits would try to intimidate and cause fear from outside this invisible protection, but the unclean spirits couldn't do anything because the brethren cast down all unholy thoughts, feelings, doubt, unbelief. The enemy couldn't do anything because the brethren ignored them, didn't entertain them and focused on and being in Jesus, they were completely protected, and the enemy couldn't do anything. (NENT Eph 4:27 neither give place to the devil.) (The righteous are all protected from the factious and their evil demons can't harm us. Like the dream with the wall down the middle of the house with the stunted factious on the left that couldn't get at the tall righteous for there was no doorknob. The disobedient are at risk Heb 10:26-27)      Perfect Arrow Shot  Marie Kelton 7/3/23 (David's notes in red)  During worship at the meeting, I had an open vision of my spirit man who was dressed in all white, with a head covering on. My spirit man had a bow and arrow in her hand, she was in a dark place. In this dark place I could see a huge and tall demon. My spirit man shot the arrow right into the demon's forehead. The demon fell back and was defeated. (Arrows are like words in the scriptures. Praise God! Rejoice as our enemies are already defeated!)  I thought of this verse 1Sam 17:49: And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the earth. (David confessed with his mouth what he would do to Goliath and it came to pass. Let us speak this against our enemies that seem bigger than us. David had five stones but only one was needed; the tongue among the 5 senses. Confess and take the enemies down. I say, “The evil satanic faction will be destroyed and scattered and the everyone set free of their demons.” Agree with me saints and speak it.)     Printer-friendly version     © 2017 UBM | Unleavened Bread Ministries.

Today on the broadcast I will be talking aboutTaming the TongueJames 3:1-12 (KJV) My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. 2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. 3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. 4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. 7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: 8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? 12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.

Faction Cannot Prevail (audio)  David Eells - 5/14/23   Be Watchful  Tianna Fire  12/23/22 (David's notes in red) I dreamt that UBM were all part of an army, and David Eells was the head of the army. (David represents The Lord Jesus as General and the Body in Christ. This is a representation of the corporate Man-Child body).  All the brethren were living together on an isolated island. If the enemy wanted to get us, they would have to go by boat. (It is the same when you realize this refuge will be like a big ship in the midst of waters on both sides created by fault lines opening up. It would mostly, except for the stern, be accessible only by water.) The enemy didn't know where our camp was located. When we fought the enemy, we would always go to the enemies' camp. (Always keep the enemy on the defensive, we are to go on the offensive.) (And in one accord or unison as an army.). The brethren did everything together in unity, and when we went to the shops we would go in groups. (Pro 11:14 Where no wise guidance is, the people falleth; But in the multitude of counsellors there is safety.)  There were many different enemy army types, that had different camps. All the armies were completely different. There were enemy armies of possessed people, witches, human donkeys, human goats, human pigs and other types of animals. (Representing the unclean vessels and factious. Lev 10:10 and that ye may make a distinction between the holy and the common, and between the unclean and the clean.)  There was a female witch who had been pretending to be part of our army, as a spy. (In the later stages of infection, yes). She participated in the fellowships, but she got exposed and went back to the witch army. (Factious people are exposed by The Light of the Lord. Tit 3:10-11 A factious man after a first and second admonition refuse; 11 knowing that the such is perverted, and sinneth, being self-condemned.)  We had already taken over three different enemy camps, and they were now run by us. (Sounds like our missionary revivals.) David was now in control of what happened at those camps. At this time, we were all at our base camp and in training. Each of us would get many trials each day, where the enemy would spiritually do anything they could to get each of us not to seek God. (1Pe 5:8-9 Be sober, watch: the devil, your Adversary, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: 9 whom withstand steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are being accomplished in your brethren which is in the world.)  Many distractions would come up and the enemy would use anything he could to keep us from seeking God. Some people had family members trying to distract them. For others, it was food, and so many other random and hidden tactics to try to stop us all from seeking God. (1Co 7:35 And this I say for your own profit; not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for what is seemly, and assiduous toward the Lord without distraction.)  Everyone shared the crazy things the enemy tried to use against them that day, and what they did to stop it. (Revealing the enemy's plans and sharing what was done to defeat them, is edification for the Body in Christ. Psa 10:2 In the pride of the wicked the poor is hotly pursued; Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived. Psa 21:11 For they intended evil against thee; They conceived a device which they are not able to perform.) (Father returns their curses on their own heads and also hinders their abilities to accomplish their evil.) News came to David that all the remaining enemy army camps had all teamed up as one team to come against us, because our team had already conquered others. (Psa 83:3-5 They take crafty counsel against thy people, And consult together against thy hidden ones. 4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; That the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. 5 For they have consulted together with one consent; Against thee do they make a covenant). (Yes we have had witchcraft from Catholic black masses, Coptics, JW's, all from the Middle East. The faction here, the witches around the world, sending curses to Christians in general. The corporate army must fight this battle.) David and others spoke to each other to come up with strategies for defensive and offensive warfare. Now it was basically the whole world against us. Someone told David what to do if someone got surrounded by many members of the enemy, and they were all alone. I said to them that our God translates us places, and he can take us anywhere anytime. (I.e. remove us from harms way.) Later in the dream we were all gathered in a large pool, that was of all different levels, and we were spread out in different rows. (A “pool" is also used to identify groups of people from which we can draw from like assemblies of God's people, who are also on “all different levels”.) We were all looking to the front and praising our God! (Php 3:14 I follow on toward the mark unto the prize of the upward calling of God in Christ Jesus).  There was a donkey that had started following Jesus, and he fellowshipped with us all. He was standing in the back row praising and I was on the other side also in the back row. (A donkey is a stupid or obstinate fellow. Gen 16:12 And he shall be as a wild ass among men; his hand shall be against every man, and every man's hand against him; and he shall dwell over against all his brethren.)  Suddenly the donkey came up behind me and tried to stab me in the back. I quickly ran in the pool to the lane in front to tell the other brethren, and the donkey chased me. (Representing Judas).  One brother then cut the donkey's head off as he came into the lane. But then the donkey changed form, into a clear bubble of liquid poison, and was moving around inside the water. (Poison represents the lies, slander, false doctrines, and accusations being spread in the Body of Christ. Deu 32:31-33 For their rock is not as our Rock, Even our enemies themselves being judges. 32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, And of the fields of Gomorrah: Their grapes are grapes of gall, Their clusters are bitter: 33 Their wine is the poison of serpents, And the cruel venom of asps.)  I alerted the others so it wouldn't touch them, and they saw it and we were all swimming to get out of its way. (As part of our duty to be watchful and avoid the fiery darts of the enemy with discernment. Eph 6:16 in all things taking up the shield of the faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one. Luk 21:34-36 But take heed to yourselves, lest haply your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and the cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly as a snare: 35 for so shall it come upon all that dwell on the face of all the earth. 36 But be watchful at every season, making supplication, that ye may prevail to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.) Then I woke up.    Deceived Lady Gaga Wants The Children  Tianna Fire  2/22/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was on a walking journey to a UBM location and there were heaps of other people walking there also. The area we were walking in was a public location with buildings all around and there were different people of all different ages on the journey. (This represents the body of believers on the way to a refuge, journeying towards the unleavened bread of the gospel).  The Lord then brought to my attention a specific person who was walking in the group: It was a woman. She was wearing a big cream-colored hat and she seemed to be trying to hide her physical identity. (The cream or “off white” colour represents “holding a form of godliness” or pretending to be pure while hiding sin and the true nature of the heart.) The Lord then opened the spiritual realm in the dream and showed me that this lady was the famous Lady Gaga. (Representing a corporate body of people around the world.) I saw that she was involved in pure evil activities, satanic worship, and other evils. (In the natural this popular music artist is extremely well known and would not be able to hide in public. It is also well known that she is involved in pure evil activities. “Gaga” is also a play on words for speaking nonsense, not making sense when speaking.)  The evil she was involved in flashed before my eyes. I saw hurt and deception from a young age and trauma she had, which eventually led into all sorts of evil. I seemed deceived and struck. I saw she was knowingly involved in the worst sorts of evil in this world, but I saw that she also didn't know the truth about Jesus and the reality of the consequences of life or eternity without Jesus. I felt that all this stuff she was involved in was forced and there was no escape for her. I saw that right now in this moment in the dream she was here for evil intentions, and she was on the prowl for children as she was being forced to get a child. (This woman pretends to walk with fellow believers but is involved with evil and is completely deceived due to her past hurts.)  The lady then turned and looked at me and she had green eyes. (Green represents jealousy or envy.) In her eyes I saw high ranking fallen angels in her and I was shocked as I rarely see these high-level demons in people. The demons knew that I could see them and as soon as they knew that I saw them they went back to hiding within her.  I sensed in the Spirit, that she could see that I knew who she was and her intentions and her deep nature. She couldn't understand how I knew, but she could feel that I knew. She knew I wouldn't make a scene about her identity, so she just spoke plainly to me. She told me she needed to get a child and would give me a giant amount of money for one of the children that was on this journey. (The child they want to control in their perversion and excess is their spiritual man.) It was an insane amount of money, in the millions. I told her that she wouldn't get any of these children and they are all protected by the Blood of Jesus and Holy Fire. I felt all this protection come around us and all the children and I sensed the presence of the Lord. (The deceived jealous lady is being used by someone to gather the immature to her side.)  She was then unable to handle being in the presence of the Lord, and her body started wobbling and she stopped walking and she sort of fell to the ground to a “sitting position”. I stopped walking and turned to her and told her that the only way out of all the evil she is in, is Jesus. It was as if she had no hope to get out of everything she was in, she was stuck.  Saying this to her was an answer to her prayer. I sensed that she wanted to get out but had no way, she was so very oppressed and seemed bound. (Heb 12:1-2 Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.)  She told me that if she left they would kill her. It seemed she was scared to not only repent from the evil but also scared to expose it. She said they would know even if she changed her mind and I felt that she was referring to the fallen angels monitoring her. I said, “Jesus is greater than all of them and He is the only way and only escape.” And I said something about it's better to physically die with Jesus than without Jesus.  I felt I said all God wanted me to and I continued walking with the group of people. She was left behind on the ground as if very physically weak, but she was thinking.  I had much peace knowing that everyone was now protected, especially the children. The group ended up walking through bush and then onto what seemed like a large property. To the right we had to turn off to go to a UBM house and I turned to go, and a few of the children did too. Most of the people in the group just continued walking straight past the turn off as if it was invisible to them or they didn't want to really go there. (Angels will guide people to the refuges and others will not find it as we have seen in other dreams.) Even though the house was physically locked, when I opened the door, it just opened for me. I looked around and no-one was inside the house, and I went into the group prayer room. Everyone was together in the prayer room on their knees. The room was a square room and David and Michael were each in a corner praying and the others were in the middle, and everyone was travailing in prayer for everything, especially for the protection of the saints. (Pray in unison for the factious, deceived woman.)  Judas  Marie Kelton  5/10/23 (David's notes in red) Last week, while I was at work eating lunch, the song by Lady Gaga called ‘Judas' started playing in my head. At the part of the song where she said, “whoa - whoa I'm in love Judas.” I then got a random verse after that, and I landed on: John 13:26 Jesus therefore answereth, He it is, for whom I shall dip the sop, and give it him. So, when he had dipped the sop, he taketh and giveth it to Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot.  I then got another verse after the one above because I wasn't sure about it. I landed on: Jonah 2:8 They that regard lying vanities Forsake their own mercy. There's also this verse: John 3:19-20 And this is the judgment, that the light is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. 20 For every one that practiseth evil things hateth the light, and cometh not unto the light, that his works be not reproved.   I didn't think anything of it at the time, but the Lord brought it back to mind.    Word for UBM Elders About Faction  Claire Pienaar  5/10/23 (David's notes in red) I received the email request from the prayer team to pray for you, David and Michael, and the UBM ministry. I know there are many good prayer warriors doing exactly that. I had done similar earlier that morning. I asked the Lord if there was anything He'd like to say to you directly, to encourage you.  Here's the message from the Lord, sent humbly through me:  Do not be discouraged my Sons. In this late hour, much must happen to reveal the lawless amongst you. It hurt me when Judas betrayed me because I loved him like my own. You will come to have more love in your hearts with every faction if you let me have my cleansing, perfecting work.  Do not fear, and do not stumble now. Cling onto the faith that once was and for all delivered to the saints. I am the author and perfecter of your faith. Trust me with your lives, your families, with the ministry. You are kept weak so that MY GLORY may shine forth from you. You are kept humble so it is easy to praise me.  I am well pleased with you both. I know every step you must take on your journey as I, too, took those steps. You are being cleansed. My body, though bruised, is also being cleansed.  There is so much to look forward to. There is joy unspeakable waiting for all those who continue in me. I love you and will never forsake you. You are more than worthy servants; you are my friends and brothers. Take it all patiently and seek only that which is good and faithful and true to edify my beautiful bride.  Some verses that correlate (not exhaustive)  Mat 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord.   Isa 28:16 therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner-stone of sure foundation: he that believeth shall not be in haste.   1 Pe 1:8 whom not having seen ye love; on whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice greatly with joy unspeakable and full of glory:   Heb 15:5 Be ye free from the love of money; content with such things as ye have: for himself hath said, I will in no wise fail thee, neither will I in any wise forsake thee.   1 Pe 2:20 For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.   John 15:14-16 Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you. 15 No longer do I call you servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I heard from my Father I have made known unto you. 16 Ye did not choose me, but I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should abide: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.   Jude 1:3 Beloved, while I was giving all diligence to write unto you of our common salvation, I was constrained to write unto you exhorting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered unto the saints.   Heb 12:1-2 Therefore let us also, seeing we are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 looking unto Jesus the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising shame, and hath sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.  2 Co 12:9 And he hath said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my power is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.   Mat 3:17 and lo, a voice out of the heavens, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.    Faction Will End For the Bride  Claire Pienaar  5/6/23 (David's notes in red) I represent the Bride as per Rev 19:7-8 because my name means “brilliant”, like the lampros garment: 7 Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 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. Riaan represents the corporate Man-child as his name means “little lion king”. I dreamed Riaan was travelling somewhere like a desert in a white utility vehicle. The vehicle was perfectly clean despite being on such dusty highways. (Mat 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.) I was at home, in our white house at the end of the street.   Suddenly a HUGE Afrikaans family came hurtling down the road for a “family reunion”. There were easily 50 members in this family. At first, they tried to come into my yard (The Afrikaans family represents Riaan's “brethren”. If Riaan represents the man-child in this dream, then the family represents the apostate harlot. It's not my mother-tongue). I simply said, “no”. They then tried to get into the white house next to my house, no.4 (“Four” represents the world.) (There were 50 people, which is the number of Jubilee, freedom. Every fiftieth year, all leased or mortgaged lands were to be returned to their original owners, and all slaves and bonded laborers were to be freed (Lev. 25:10). But the Man-child/Brides house is not for the servants or slaves but the sons.)   They opened the door to House No. 4 easily, as it was unlocked, and poured in faster than I could blink. It was a massive operation. They meant business. They had 4X4 vehicles (The factious leader has one), camp gear, camp kitchen gear, sleeping bags, tents, and food. All the women had dark hair. (meaning submitted to darkness.) It was like watching a highly organized sting-operation. It was intense. I kept on telling them, “This is illegal!” “This is unlawful!” “This is wrong!” (They break every law of God and man) “You will be thrown out!” “Stop it!”. In the dream I felt like I had to keep my street clean and clear of these people. (The house next door represents an organized faction attack as seen below.) (They are not in the body of Christ for they are unforgiven and do not belong among the people of God for they are their enemy. They are refused according to Tit 3:10-11.)   Some of these family members heard me, but most didn't even see me, as they were so focused on executing their own portion of their jobs. (These people are focused on evil works.) (And separating the body from its leadership to install reprobates. Jas 3:16  For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.) 2 Tim 3:7-8 ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. 8 And even as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also withstand the truth; men corrupted in mind, reprobate concerning the faith.) They never answered me in English. The main man, (The factious leader) a big burly man with a black sleeveless biker's jacket (living in darkness) and red hair with a red beard (the sign of Esau who hated his chosen brother.). He kept on telling me, in Afrikaans, “It's ok. We did this in 2011 and it was fine!” (The factious leader did exactly this in 2011) I said, “Listen to me. This isn't 2011 and you ARE NOT WELCOME. (2011 is when the factious first attacked our fellowship and were rejected by them.) That family's moved on. We're the new family here and we're not part of your family. Get away!” I called Riaan on my mobile phone and told him to come immediately, but all he said was “I'm coming as fast as I can. I'll be there soon”. (This is a massive faction attack before the Man-child arrives.) (Its been happening) The Afrikaans family then set up camp on both sides of the train tracks that run next to our house, as well as all the way up the street, to House No.1. I kept on rebuking these people. I was exhausted, but I was not going to stop telling them to go. (Be warned that they will overrun those of the rest of the body of believers that are not shackled to grace through obedience and repentance. Do not let them in to your house!)   The main man (The factious leader) then showed me a picture from his phone that had a picture of our house but with the old GREEN roof, and he said, “This is where we're supposed to be, right here, and we're not leaving”.(When they brought envy and jealousy, green, into our body. )  I said, “Clearly you have the wrong house. See, we have a RED roof”. (Seriously, we received a new roof 2 months ago and its red. We plead the blood of Jesus. It's ONLY the blood that saves. It saves completely. It cleanses completely. It's not a house for jealousy, only God's grace and the blood of Jesus). He looked at the roof and one by one this large family started leaving in drips and drabs. (Since 2011 they have been dribbling out and the factious leader left 3 times and is on the 4th time, which is his last. A sister years ago saw him leave 3 times and the 4th he never came back.  Later she saw him die and go to hell.)  (As they left, they started speaking curses on Riaan while he was absent,) to the point where I clearly heard the words “cancer” and “we're killing him” both in and out of the dream.  I woke up and rebuked it in the natural over Riaan's body. (The factious leader will try to get his people to curse the Man-child with witchcraft but it was the David Man-child who killed the Edomites. Their curses will be returned to them according to the word. Psa 109:17 Yea, he loved cursing, and it came unto him; And he delighted not in blessing, and it was far from him. 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.)  Then I fell back asleep, continuing to rebuke it while I entered the next part of the dream. (We pray the blood of Christ over our bodies, which is the house, and these attacks must leave.)  At this point in the dream, Riaan was separated from us in a shopping center (Now, the bride and her fruit are still separated from the Man-Child.) (Speaking of the anointed Man-child who was caught up to the throne.) He was found in a rat exterminator van. (He was getting rid of the factious sons of perdition meaning destruction. The factious “rat” out the Man-child in whom Jesus lives.) However, my dad, representing the Father, went to fetch him in another white car almost immediately afterwards, and again they crossed a desert.) (When Moses had gone through his personal wilderness/desert of self denial, the Father brought him back to bring Israel as a type of the Church there to meet Him.)   My mom and I were holding my son Daniel and waiting for Riaan to arrive. (In this dream my mother represents the original gospel that we hold fast to, so that we can keep our personal inner man-child safe.) It was so intense as I knew we had to leave together as a family, and it was imperative that he was with us. I saw a vision in the dream of the white car my dad was driving, and big black vehicles were trying to push him and Riaan off the road as they made their way back to us. (They want to hinder the Father and Man-child from saving the Bride who is often cast in dreams as the Bride. At this moment they are trying to hinder us from saving Eve who they finally took captive in her house with witchcraft slander curses after years of hating her for her dreams revealing their sins. She is there to be a witness of their destruction. Psa 37:34 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. (I was just asking the Lord what to do for Eve when this dream came to me. The time of this dream must be very close.)  I thought the vision was shaking, like someone was shaking an iPad screen, but then I realized it was an earthquake where Riaan and my dad were. (In the midst of these attacks the Man-child will come and deal with the faction as the Lord did the Edomites who hated and killed their brethren. (We have had a few dreams that the Man-child came at an earthquake as we see in scripture and a vision below.) Marie Kelton just saw a vision on May 12, 2023 During the meeting, I had an open vision of the Lord. He was huge and really tall.  I was only able to see the bottom of His linen garment and the sandals on His feet. I saw the Lord walking as 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." (This large body of Christ is Jesus in the Man-child body. He comes during an earthquake to destroy the Edomite faction who is attacking the Bride, to save her. Isa 63:1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. 2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat? 3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no man with me: yea, I trod them in mine anger, and trampled them in my wrath; and their lifeblood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all my raiment. After the shaking, "In a flash we were all at a fueling station, (This must be done quickly after the earthquakes before the stations run out because the earthquake will cut off the fuel supply pipelines coming up from the refineries in the south.) We were fueling up white and silver cars, ready to leave together. (The vehicles of the sanctified ones.) (When the Man-Child defeats these spirits of darkness and lawlessness represented by those big black vehicles, the Bride body and the Man-Child body will be “refueled” with the latter rain anointing.  Joel 2: 23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in Jehovah your God; for he giveth you the former rain in just measure, and he causeth to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, in the first month. 24 And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. 25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker-worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm, my great army which I sent among you. (The great restoration from years of the curse including the faction curse.) 26 And ye shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of Jehovah your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you; and my people shall never be put to shame. (Like the factious will) 27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Jehovah your God, and there is none else; and my people shall never be put to shame. (Like the factious will)  More Witchcraft and Faction  Claire Pienaar  5/8/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was packing up our home to move. (into the wilderness?) I had my Bible on our bed, at the very top of the pile I was making to pack. I went into the kids' room to get a few things and when I came back, the Bible was on fire, and some things were missing. Someone had tried to destroy the Bible and steal my stuff. (We have worked very hard to prepare the Word for the people going into the wilderness and the faction has worked hard to destroy and steal it. The factious leader took down our site full of Bible teaching when we stopped him several times from seducing a married woman and he was caught seducing a young girl. Apple told us that the only one who could have taken our rebuild of the site immediately down as fast as we put it up was the only one who told them to contact him as soon as anything was changed on the site.  This was the factious leader. We can put him in jail anytime we want to.  The FBI have been contacted but we left his name out of the report to wait on the Lord's timing. He knows we know but he foolishly keeps on destroying. We were shown many times that he was using witchcraft to kill our people spiritually and physically. Still we have no unforgiveness to him.  Who is going to take him down? The Man-child Jesus.)   I hollered to Riaan, and I kept on spraying my Bible with a flame retardant. The front cover completely burned off. There was also a bullet hole through the bible. (Bullet holes represent witchcraft attacks on those who hold to the contents of the Bible, not just the cover of what it represents. The fiery trials we go through reveals the Word inside.) (The factious hate the inside of the bible).  One of the cashiers from the Independent Grower's Association (IGA) came and said he knows why it happened and he knows who did it. He opened my bible and there was a little Polaroid picture of Helene cutting a cake. (Helene was apparently the mother of the first Roman emperor to supposedly convert. The person in this photo in the dream is very thin, small and has strawberry-blonde or very light red hair, denoting rebellion.) (This woman was the mother of apostate Christianity. The red hair identifies her as Esau's seed, the Edomites who had red hair and hated their chosen brother, Jacob/Israel as a type of the Church. The Roman Emperor was Constantine who perverted Christianity mixing it with other religions to bring unity to his kingdom. Our factious leader could not use the bible which identifies him and his sin so he mixed psychology and psychiatry while claiming falsely to be a Christian and destroying the Word.)  Then he told us who it was that was doing this, and he was describing himself. (The factious always blame someone else for what they are doing, always.) So, we sent him off and told him not to come back again. (Just as in the dream above.) As he revealed himself, he became angrier and angrier at us, and I thought he was going to do us harm. I was most concerned that he destroyed the Word of God. (This young man represents being both immature and factious.)  I woke up.  I asked the Lord for a word by faith at random and received John 13:20, with my finger on received: “He that receiveth whomsoever I send receiveth me; and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.” (Whatsoever we do to the least of Jesus' brethren we do to him).    The Factious Destroy Themselves David Eells  5/12/23   I received this text twice by faith at random when asking about the faction. Listen to it carefully. God is speaking prophetically of this time: Pro 11:7-9 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish; And the hope of iniquity perisheth. 8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked cometh in his stead. 9 With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor; But through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered. The first day I got verses 7&8. Pro 11:7-8 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish; And the hope of iniquity perisheth. (There was an old note next to this, which spoke of Eve's dream of being taken captive by 2 factious men who are in perversion and witchcraft and another of their death together. We see here that their hope of evil will perish with them. They killed many spiritually and physically and Eve was conquered by witchcraft to correct her and to be a witness. We do warfare for her and others as we have in the past and we have faith for them.   Judas died when the Man-child did. And because of this the righteous are delivered out of their hands in the next verse. A remnant in the faction that are captive to demons of witchcraft and faction, will be set free along with all those righteous they have tested and have overcome outside of it. We have been shown that the war to come will take down many of the wicked.) 8 The righteous is delivered out of trouble, And the wicked cometh in his stead. (Here we see that God turns the table on the wicked and they perish in order to deliver the righteous from them. It is always this way.)  The next day I got verse 9 With his mouth the godless man destroyeth his neighbor (This is spoken curses and slander, which enter the listener to take them captive.); But through knowledge shall the righteous be delivered. (Knowledge such as the understanding that Jesus gave us “authority over all the power of the enemy”. And Mar 11:23-24 is about casting down of the “mount of corruption” that he was crossing. And the power given when “we believe we have received”. Like the fig tree that bore no fruit they wither. Joel 3:19-21 Egypt shall be a desolation, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land. (They have shed much blood)   20 But Judah shall abide for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation. 21 And I will cleanse their blood, that I have not cleansed: for Jehovah dwelleth in Zion. (The blood of the old man with the adamic sin nature must give way to the blood of Christ with which we were saved.) Isa 49:25-26 But thus saith Jehovah, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. 26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood (Judas hung himself with his own hands and the righteous saw this. I.e. they destroy one another with their despicable words and actions that they partake of. “Evil companionships corrupt good morals".), as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.  (Abimelek and the Men of Shechem, and Jehoshaphat and the 3 armies have been given to explain the destruction of the enemy spirits and their flesh by their own hands.) Isa 51:11-52:3 And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing unto Zion (Returning from captivity to the demonic faction dragon of Babylon); and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy; and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. 12  I, even I, am he that comforteth you: who art thou, that thou art afraid of man that shall die, and of the son of man that shall be made as grass; 13 and hast forgotten Jehovah thy Maker (They forgot everything they learned from UBM and the Word of God. They study psycology that cannot save.), that stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth (I.e. He is mighty to take down all oppressors); and fearest continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he maketh ready to destroy? (They are making ready to destroy but our God is God and theirs is a fallen angel who must have Father's permission to do anything to us as seen in Job.) and where is the fury of the oppressor? 14 The captive exile shall speedily be loosed (The elect remnant shall be saved from captivity to the wicked.); and he shall not die and go down into the pit, neither shall his bread fail. 15 For I am Jehovah thy God (And Satan is the bound strong man and we are commanded to take his spoils.)   Sweaty Rats On The Ship  Claire Pienaar  5/11/23  (David's notes in red) I represent the corporate Bride body as in Rev 19:7-8 because my name means “brilliant”, like the lampros garment: 7 Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 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 a ship that was on dry ground. (Our ship in the earth is on dry ground) (The ark, the secret place of the Most High, where to run to before the flood of judgement or tribulation, a refuge). I was in a cabin on the right side of the ship. Across from me, on the left, was a single mom of small boys. She was really struggling, dirt poor and dirty with nothing but a mattress in her cabin. (Mat 25:31-33  But when the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the angels with him, then shall he sit on the throne of his glory: 32 and before him shall be gathered all the nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as the shepherd separateth the sheep from the goats; 33 and he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.) (All factious people are leftists likened to tares and goats.  They do not belong on the ship and will repent or be removed.) A few doors down from her was a couple. The woman seemed ok, but the man looked dull, and coldness reverberated from him, like a corpse. (Jude 1:12 These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots.) He was tall, with a black beard, and pale skin that was terribly sweaty. (Representing being nervous or full of impurity from the inside that is difficult to hide on the outside). He wore black and grey sweatpants and hoodie. (Representing submitted to darkness and evil schemes). He was previously an owner of a food truck and he was trying to hijack the little on-board café next to my room. (These factious deceivers think because they had something to do with the Word (food) before, in apostasy, that they can now usurp ministries or anointings officially ordained by God). He just wanted to serve his oily, greasy flat bread instead of the beautiful fresh salad rolls, breakfast items and coffee. (Yes, they want to serve their own type of “greasy grace” gospel). He tried to serve his food there a few times but each time he failed due to his own inefficiencies and inability. (He is not anointed). Each time, sweet little servers would continue to serve the fresh food available to other people who were on the ship.  He was getting angrier with his wife, too. He decided to “help” the poor woman opposite my door by getting her to get off the ship and go sell food with him in his truck. (Beware them preying on the immature). I walked past the single mom's room and thought to myself “bad idea” as they approached her. They then tried to come into my room but I said, “No thank you” and closed my cabin door to them. (Eph 5:11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them).  His little food truck was still outside the ship and he desperately wanted to bring the cart up on the ship. But this couldn't happen. The truck was in the shape of a bee, and it was yellow with black writing on it (bees have stingers that are full of poison, it's in their tails. I remember David Eells describing fear and anxiety as being from spirits with venom in their tails, and religious spirits and false doctrines being from spirits with the venom in their heads, like snakes).   I then felt tremendous dread as I realised he was on board to kill people. However, I noticed my cabin door was red and I knew he would not be able to come in. (These false doctrines they will try to bring into the refugees are demonic and they only want to steal, kill, and destroy but they can't touch those covered by the blood of Jesus. John 10:10 The thief cometh not, but that he may steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly.) I woke up.   I received Acts 13:49-50 by faith at random: 49 And the word of the Lord was spread abroad throughout all the region. 50 But the Jews urged on the devout women of honorable estate, and the chief men of the city, and stirred up a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders.” (Factious spirits of slander and lies turn people away from the Word.) (These factious usurpers will stir up those that are seemingly devout or honorable in the eyes of the apostates (the Jews) to bring persecution against the two brothers that have been ordained to lead the rest, like the poor struggling woman).     Enemy Tares  Tianna Fire 4/24/23  (David's notes in red) (This is a revelation about the dangers of even thinking slanderous thoughts).  I had been getting many strange attacks in the spiritual; unusual thoughts and feelings and many physical attacks all at once. I didn't mention this to my husband Samuel, but I went and had a bath and was wondering to the Lord why all these crazy attacks are happening. I saw that there was a specific person, and the enemy was giving her evil thoughts regarding me, and she was unknowingly agreeing with those thoughts not realizing it was demons and this gave legal right for the demons to attack me regarding the evil curse thoughts. (Rev 12:10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night.)  I then had a vision of a few other people from my past and some people that fell away from The Truth, and the enemy was giving them thoughts about me and then the people were unknowingly speaking curses out loud against me. (James 3:5-12 So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind: 8 but the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison. 9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God: 10 out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet water and bitter? 12 can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? neither can salt water yield sweet.)  I was able to understand the enemy was using these people to get a legal right to attack me, hence all the crazy physical and spiritual attacks. All of this worked because God has given authority to the humans, that what they speak they get. (Pro 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.) We either curse or bless and the consequences of humans' thoughts and words are more powerful than we really understand. The Lord had allowed me to see where the mental and physical attacks were all coming from. (2 Cor 10:5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ).  Then I heard in my spirit that because Jesus has paid the price for us, we have the power to not accept these attacks. Even though the enemy tries to use humans' thoughts and words against us, we don't have to allow the thoughts and words to affect us. Mat 18:18-19 Verily I say unto you, What things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. 19 Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father who is in heaven.  We are not under the curse, and we are blessed because of faith in Jesus. The attacks, the evil thoughts, evil feelings and pains, all were put on Jesus because He paid the price to take it away.  But we still have the choice to accept the curse and allow the enemy to attack us, or we can give it to Jesus, which He already took it. (Gal 3:13 Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree.) (Pro 26:2 As the sparrow in her wandering, as the swallow in her flying, So the curse that is causeless alighteth not.) As soon as I heard this I agreed and I didn't accept these curses and idle thoughts against me and I agreed that Jesus paid the price, and the attacks completely calmed, praise God and ALL Glory to The Creator of all for all eternity! (1 Pet 2:24 who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.)  Later I went to Samuel, and he had been spending alone time with God. Samuel had a prayer that he wrote up for me to agree with and it was related to what God had revealed to me. This was the prayer:   “Do you agree that all curses, idle words and all witchcraft is broken off us and all the Brethren? That anyone that isn't wanting to follow the Real Jesus will not try to contact or see us unless they are manifesting Christ, and that all of the Brethren are healed, restored, and we will have enough provisions, and everything is restored or replaced with better? That we will never be separated from each other, and that we be Godly parents to David forever to glorify God in all we do; and that we manifest His Word and Christ in us, 100-fold all the time? That we will be His vessels, used to help others be closer to the Lord, being His Hands and Feet to establish His Kingdom, and we that we receive all this is now?!  Thank You Almighty Father in Jesus Name for doing all these according to Your Word and Promises!”    Bulletproof In Christ  Tianna Fire  12/19/22  (David's notes in red) I dreamt Samuel and I were at a school at night, packing up our belongings to take to the car. We then saw men in red shirts doing suspicious activity in the school. (Sin is red in Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith Jehovah: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.  (These men represent a factious and Judas spirit).  So we walked back to the car and these men chased us and were making threats and trying to scare us. I was holding my son David and I said to him that the men won't touch or hurt us, and they didn't. More men appeared to us, and they were right next to us and behind us and in front of us. They were trying to intimidate us and give us fear, even though they were so close to us, they couldn't touch us.  (1Jn 5:18 We know that every one begotten of God sinneth not; but who was begotten of God keepeth himself, and the evil one toucheth him not).  Samuel and I got in the car with David and the men kept threatening us. More men appeared, around 30 of them, and they were all angry and upset and making threats. They had guns and knives and were bashing the car. The men were trying to scare us and put fear in us, but because of our faith that God wouldn't let them touch us, they didn't.  My son David was much older than he is in real life, and he sat on my lap. (This represents the maturing of our fruit during trials). Samuel reversed the car and started to drive across the carpark to the exit, and there were even more men with machine guns near the exit.  I said to my son David, “We are hidden in Christ and God has made us bullet proof,” to build his faith and for him not to give into fear. They were all constantly shooting at us. It was so loud, and they were hitting us, but nothing would break or penetrate the car. God made us bullet proof. (According to your faith in the One Who conquered all. Eph 6:16 in all things taking up the shield of the faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the evil one.)  We drove out and they chased us on the streets, still threatening and trying to hurt us. Some of them got into a van to try and come after us. Then Samuel drove up to the end of the street, and proceeded into a forest where there was a giant panda bear waiting to protect us. From a distance, we watched the men driving in their van after us, thinking they would follow us into the forest because they saw us go in there, but they turned instead and did not follow us into the forest.  God was faithful to protect us when we believed He would. However, we were tested to see if we would give into our carnal sight and fear. I then saw the exact same thing. We were back at the school, and we saw the men again and they started chasing us, but we started walking to the car very calmly. And this time all the people surrounded us on the way back to the car. They were all so angry and intimidating.  I then said aloud, "Jesus has all power and authority over you, and every knee must bow, and every tongue must confess Jesus is Lord, so all of you start praising God right now". (Php 2:9-11 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and endowed him with the name above every name; 10 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).  They all dropped their weapons and started singing praises to God! Then I woke up.    Angels Block Factious Witchcraft Attacks Tianna Fire 5/13/14   During our worship, Tianna saw the factious trying to attack us with witchcraft, so we started praying in tongues, and then Tianna saw small to medium sized Holy Angels all surrounding everyone from all different angles, and they were like a complete bubble of protection, and there was too many to count. And there was 1 big giant Holy Angel over everyone.      Bride Overcoming the Dominion of Satan  Claire Pienaar   5/11/23 (David's notes in red) Last night I woke up at 2:22 a.m. (1 Peter 2:22 who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth.)   I started praying for both David and Michael and checked my email, reading for the first time concerning the latest faction. Afterward I started praying for the latest victim to faction and had this vision.  In this dream I am used as a type of the Bride. I saw myself in front of the throne of Satan in hell. I knew it was hell because there were red flames everywhere. I knew he'd made his own throne. He said, “Bow to me!”. I said, “I will never bow to you”. This repeated 4 times, and each time my flesh felt like it was being pulverised onto my bones with intense pressure. Each time I answered with more boldness. The fourth time I denied him, light exploded from my chest and shattered his throne and he either exploded too or went flying.  As the Lord was using me as a type of the corporate bride body, we can rest that the true members of this body will never bow the knee to the enemy. No evil will be found in our mouths or our hearts.    

Treasure and Trouble Therewith: A Tale of California

église AB Lausanne ; KJV Proverbs 17 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices with strife. A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren. The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the LORD trieth the hearts. A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips; and a liar giveth ear to a naughty tongue. Whoso mocketh the poor reproacheth his Maker: and he that is glad at calamities shall not be unpunished. Children's children are the crown of old men; and the glory of children are their fathers. Excellent speech becometh not a fool: much less do lying lips a prince. A gift is as a precious stone in the eyes of him that hath it: whithersoever it turneth, it prospereth. He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends. A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool. ...

God is Sovereign to Meet Our Needs (3) (Audio) David Eells - 12/21/22 Multiple Miracles of Our Water Supply David Eells, Michael Hare, Brandy Arney The Three of us put our heads together to report on these tremendous miracles we witnessed. David said, In the end of November we had a call from the water company that our water usage had drastically increased over 2 months. At that time we went to where our meter was located with the help of our neighbor, who knew where the meter was on the other side of his property. Then we looked for the leak by digging a few holes to try and find the water pipe. The meter is located .38 miles from our house. After looking for the leak for approximately an hour or so. David suggested that we just believe God to repair the leak as we did 10 years before, when God repaired a terrible leak on this line of 10,000 gal of water per month. The realtor could not find the leak and then asked us to fix it. David told the realtor that this is not our property, we are just renters. His reply was, “If you can't find it, then you probably need to find another place to rent”. At that time the owner was paying the water bill. The water line went through woods and overgrown field and seemed impossible to find since all water sinks in the rocky ground here. It doesnt leak to the surface as in most places. all the water that runs down this side of the mountain has made a very deep and wide gully from our house down to the road at the base of the mountain where it dead ends. All of that water goes into the grounds along the way. So you can see that finding a leak, even a large one, can be impossible without special equipment. So we decided that since we were supposed to be here by God's direction we commanded the leak to cease in Jesus name!  David then told the realtor, that leased the house for the owner, that God repaired the leak. He said that he had never heard of God doing anything like that! David replied, “Well, you have now, so watch the bill and you will see.” From that day till now, we have had a normal water bill.   From 12/14/22 to 12/16/22 We Saw These Miracles: Four, sometimes five, people are witnesses to these miracles. Our combined recollection: "TASS Water company performed a supply line flush at our end of the supply line. When this happened our neighbor called us to tell us to flush our faucets. As we went to do this we discovered we had NO water at all. The breaker in the garage for the multi stage water pump, at the bottom of the mountain, was tripped. We then went down and pulled the concrete cover off the water pump concrete vault and found water flooding and overflowing the vault. The motor and pump were underwater which shorted the motor and tripped the breaker. Then we called the water company to turn off the water at the meter. We then repaired the leak from the supply line to the pump at the vault. Then by phone we had the water company worker turn it back on, which he did, but all of a sudden. When he did, the air in the pipes, which he said was 80psi, blew the one inch water supply pvc pipe line apart at the coupling on the top of the pump. The water was only about 25-30psi behind the air but air compresses and water doesnt and air is harder to hold in pvc lines. (Brandy said, " We three were standing over the pump when the pipe blew.") It was like a shotgun going off. We repaired that pipe and told the water company worker to turn it back on.. but slowly. But, no water came to the pump. The worker told us, at that time, that water was flowing full pipe from the meter but we had no water at the pump end at all. We waited quite some time but no water or air at all came." Brandy said;  "As I waited at the pump, David and Michael went up the house to open the faucets and to turn the pump breaker on in order to listen for any air or water movement in the pipes or faucets. When they switched on the breaker for the pump, the pump started whirring. I listened for any sounds of water coming through the pump and heard nothing. I waited for approximately 1minute and the pump started squealing loudly and I said to Michael over the phone, "Turn it off”. Brandy said; I was on the phone with the water company employee who was approximately 200 yards away across the field of the neighbor's property where the meter is. After I told him that we had no water coming into the pump from the supply side. The water worker then said, "Oh no! that means there is a pipe break between here and there underground." My heart kinda sank at that point. I heard the enemy say, "You have broken the line completely and burned up the pump.” We three had been out there in the dark awhile, getting rained on. We had already had a tough time getting it all back together anyway and now this! It was cold and after hearing this and seeing in the natural what had happened, I went home somewhat discouraged. Back to Michael: "So we knew that the water line had blown apart completely since no water or even air was coming out at the pump. The leak was somewhere between the meter and the pump about three feet underground.  The line was partially in our woods at the bottom of the mountain and approximately 200 yds or so across an overgrown field of briars and saplings on the neighbor's property. The water company worker suggested we call a man that could find the leak for us with a listening device he had, which would cost between $400 and $800. Then he left to go home. But we knew that it would cost much more than that because of the length of the pipe involved and where it was located in impassable territory. The next morning David and I went down and repaired the pipe on the discharge side of the pump line, which could have cracked when the blowout occurred." David said, "Barry had given us a water valve wrench to turn the water on and off at the meter. We commanded the leak between the meter and the pump to be repaired, in Jesus name and praise the Lord for this miracle. Then Michael went down to turn on the water to the pump at the meter and then walked back up to the pump and water started coming into the pump which was an impossibility naturally. Father had answered our prayer and praise, Halleileuia! Then Michael went to the house to turn pump breaker on." Michael said, "When the pump started, David said by phone, “Shut it off. The motor is smoking. It is turning very slow”. This was as if it had lost a phase of its 230 volts. (David supervised an electric motor shop at Exxon and he said, When a motor shorts or burns the windings, it never gets better in the natural. You have to rewind the windings to renew the motor again. Also, motors don't run long after being under water unless you take them apart and dry them out. The water creates a short in the windings that burns them up and smokes. You can always tell when a winding is burnt by the smell.  But we were acting on our faith. (Both David and Michael have professional experience with electric motors.) By Faith, we let it cool down and after it cooled down, we prayed and praised the Lord and tried it again and it smoked worse than before and the breaker broke, all of which is natural! David told me by faith, “Let's put the concrete lid on the pump vault [as though it were all fixed], and go to the house to turn it on!” (This was with a blown motor and damaged pump. There was no natural chance for this to run.) So, we drove up to the house, and as we went, we commanded the pump motor to be rewound and repaired and the seals to hold in the motor and pump, and the pump wear rings and bushings to be repaired in the pump because of the squealing! And we praised God for the answer!  Then when we got to the house, we reset the breaker to turn the pump on! At that time of course there still was no water at the house. David said, “I'm going to take a shower.” I went outside and shut the outside faucets off, which we had opened to bleed the air out of the line but there was nothing coming out, and came back inside. David stuck his head out of his bedroom door and said, “Michael, Please reset the breaker one more time”. So I reset the breaker and went back inside. Then I heard David shout from his bathroom that he had water. I asked David if we should turn the water heater back on that had been off for 2 days, so the water was cold. David said, “Yes, of course!” David reported that as he turned on the shower the water was immediately hot. This was another miracle after the water heater had been off for 2 days and it was very cold! Then, the next morning, we were tested again! The water went off and there was no water coming to the house again." David said, "We both rebuked satan and commanded the water to come back on in Jesus name and praised the Lord for it! Then it came on. Then just before the meeting it went off and we both rebuked satan and commanded it back on in Jesus name and it came on. And it is working wonderfully now. Praise our awesome God! Not knowing that the Lord had fixed the water situation, Brandy went up to our house and neither Michael nor I were home at the time. Brandy went around the back side of the house and as he passed by the water spigot, he reached down to turn it on and the water came out as strong as ever!   During this whole ordeal Michael and I praised the Lord for fixing our water supply and He was our faithful God!!!” I had witnessed to the neighbor, who was a Baptist pastor about the first miracle of the Lord fixing 10,000 gal a month leak. Then he asked Brandy if we fixed the leak and Brandy said no the Lord did.  Then he asked Michael separately the same thing and Michael told him the story.  He didnt say a word.   Testimony of God's Miraculous Provision Dirk Oelofsen - 12/16/22 (David's notes in red) Thank you for Friday evenings meeting. It was a real blessing and faith building; hearing the testimonies. (This Included the water supply miracles.)  God is Awesome! I also have one I would like to share; Our house is fitted with a gas stove and we had two 20lb gas bottles which is very helpful with all the many power outages that we currently have here in South Africa. Normally a 20lb bottle will last between 1 to 3 months. For some time, here in town, there have been a lot of theft happening of garden equipment and gas bottles etc. During that time the one gas bottle that was connected outside our home was taken from our yard while we were away for a few days. When we returned we noticed that the bottle was missing. We heard from other people that they had experienced the same issue of things going missing. So, we came against the spirit of theft and also vandalism. The theft issue did eventually stop, Praise the Lord! When I connected up the last gas bottle, I laid hands on it, blessed it, and commanded that it would just last longer, since it was the only one we had left. A few months had passed and I picked the bottle up one day to feel if there was any gas left inside and it was and as light as a feather. (Meaning it was naturally empty) Paula then asked me if we should have it re-filled and I said, “No. It is not necessary. We prayed and asked Father that this bottle would just last, so it will!”. We then continued on using it as normal. Well, it has been 12 months now since and we haven't changed it yet. It is still going strong with almost everyday use! Glory to the Lord! Thank You Father for your provision!!! (We witnessed the same thing with a bottle here that ran our refrigerator years ago.)   Walking the Tight Rope Between Faith and Fear Samuel Fire - 10/4/22 (David's notes in red) The Lord reminded me of the time on the UBM outreach, when someone shared a testimony about a man that walked on a tight rope across Niagara Falls with a wheelbarrow of bricks. When remembering it, I had a vision of the man at Niagara Falls that walked on the tight rope and there was a crowd of people watching him and he asked the crowd, “Who wants to get into the wheel barrow as I walk across on the tight rope?”. I was in the crowd, watching, and I stood forward and said, “I will”, feeling God wanted to test my faith. But, I was suddenly struck with thoughts and feelings of fear, doubt, and unbelief;  thoughts of what could go wrong and that I shouldn't do it, etc. There was a big battle in my mind with fear and I had to constantly cast down the enemy and all his lies. I kept trying to abide in Fathers peace and rest, thinking on the Word, the whole time. This was a real trial! As they were getting prepared for me and the man to cross, he asked me, “Are you ready?” Yes, I responded. But I was not as calm and sure as I wanted to be. Then the journey began of the man pushing me in a wheelbarrow across the tight rope. I was getting attacked with such intense fear, anxiety, doubt and constantly battling those thoughts and feelings. I was trying to only focus my mind on Jesus and His Word and presence. Knowing that Jesus is in me and all around me and in everything, so there is nothing to fear. I was telling myself, "Father is closer to me than my own breath and He is in control of everything and I only have Him to trust. My whole life and situation depends on Him. Fear just makes everything worse and it is a lie that Jesus has already defeated." Praise God!   As we were going along the tight rope the man, with me in the wheelbarrow, fell off the rope and started falling down. I thought, "God is in control and His will be done." I felt His presence and peace, knowing that He was in control... I then saw myself back on the tight rope in the wheel barrow, realizing that us falling was just my imagination, THANK GOD! So I felt this whole vision was about the fact that it doesn't matter what we see or feel. We can be calm through every life situation! It reminded me of the Lord Jesus when He was sleeping in a boat during a storm!   (What is Keeping you from Your Miracle? Usually the spoken words of faith and the other actions that prove it. Mar 11:23-24 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou taken up and cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that what he saith cometh to pass; he shall have it. 24 Therefore I say unto you, All things whatsoever ye pray and ask for, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.  Jas 2:26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.   Praise the Lord, Saints! David Eells The Angels showed us how to praise God from the heart the way He wants. They told us to never go back to our dead ways or the enemies would again take advantage of us. Who are we to have an opinion contrary to the Word?  Rom 3:4  God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment.  What the angels told us was just what the Word commands. Heb 13:15 Through him then let us offer up a sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of lips which make confession to his name. Psa 103:1-4 A Psalm of David. Bless Jehovah, O my soul; And all that is within me, bless his holy name. 2 Bless Jehovah, O my soul, And forget not all his benefits: 3 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases; 4 Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; Psa 109:30 I will give great thanks unto Jehovah with my mouth; Yea, I will praise him among the multitude. Psa 111:1 Praise ye Jehovah. I will give thanks unto Jehovah with my whole heart, In the council of the upright, and in the congregation. Psa 34:1 A Psalm of David; when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless Jehovah at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth. Psa 71:8 My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, And with thy honor all the day. Psa 8:2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou established strength (Praise in the NT), Because of thine adversaries, That thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. Psa 147:12-14 Praise Jehovah, O Jerusalem; Praise thy God, O Zion. 13 For he hath strengthened the bars of thy gates; He hath blessed thy children within thee. 14 He maketh peace in thy borders; He filleth thee with the finest of the wheat. Psa 149:1-9 Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints. 2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 3 Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp. 4 For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation. 5 Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds. 6 Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand; 7 To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples; 8 To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron; 9 To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah. Psa 150:1-6 Praise ye Jehovah. Praise God in his sanctuary: Praise him in the firmament of his power. 2 Praise him for his mighty acts: Praise him according to his excellent greatness. 3 Praise him with trumpet sound: Praise him with psaltery and harp. 4 Praise him with timbrel and dance: Praise him with stringed instruments and pipe. 5 Praise him with loud cymbals: Praise him with high sounding cymbals. 6 Let everything that hath breath praise Jehovah. Praise ye Jehovah. When I first went to a Spirit filled Church I was restrained in worship and praise because of a fear of man but after I broke through it was wonderful freedom. Pro 29:25  The fear of man bringeth a snare; But whoso putteth his trust in Jehovah shall be safe.   Stop Sin at the Thought David Eells Pro 23:7  For as he thinketh within himself, so is he: Mat 12:34  Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. In the OT mostly actions are judged but in NT thoughts are judged for they are who you are and what causes all evil actions. Luk 6:45  The good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth that which is evil: for out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Mat 12:37  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Because your words prove what is in your heart or thoughts. Rom 3:4 God forbid: yea, let God be found true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy words, And mightest prevail when thou comest into judgment. Mat 15:18  But the things which proceed out of the mouth come forth out of the heart; and they defile the man. 19  For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings. Notice thoughts are evil and words are more evil for they hurt others and put evil thoughts in others. This is why God says, “the slanderer will I destroy”. Jas 1:19  Ye know this, my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20  for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 21  Wherefore putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. The word changes the thoughts and transforms the man before becoming an avalanche of bad emotions and actions. Rom 12:2  And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Faith tames the thoughts and the emotions and actions into those who are given over to Christ. 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. Rom 2:13  for not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified: 14  (for when Gentiles that have not the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are the law unto themselves; 15  in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience bearing witness therewith, and their thoughts one with another accusing or else excusing them); 16 in the day when God shall judge the secrets of men, according to my gospel, by Jesus Christ. Secrets of mens hearts are revealed in their words and actions. Mat 5:19-28 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I say unto you, that except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no wise enter into the kingdom of heaven.  (In the OT mostly actions are judged but in NT thoughts are judged for they are who you are and what causes all evil actions.)   21Ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22 but I say unto you, that every one who is angry (A thought) with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire. 23 If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, 24 leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Clear your conscience before coming to God. 25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing. 27 Ye have heard that it was said, (in the law) Thou shalt not commit adultery: 28 but I say unto you, that every one that looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Sins come in threes:  Evil thoughts lead to evil emotions, which lead to evil actions. Evil thoughts stir up emotions and bring demon possession. Then many evil actions come. Stop it at the thought level. Emotions are harder to stop. Outbirsts or railing prove sin in the heart. 2Co 10:3-6 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh 4 (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), 5 casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ; 6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be made full. I.e. Dont get caught judging when you are guilty for Jesus said you would be judged.. Gen 6:5 And Jehovah saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. 1Sa 16:7 But Jehovah said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have rejected him: for Jehovah seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but Jehovah looketh on the heart. Jas 3:1-16 Be not many of you teachers, my brethren, knowing that we shall receive heavier judgment. 2 For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also. 3 Now if we put the horses bridles into their mouths that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also. 4 Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth. 5 So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire! 6 And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind: 8 but the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison. 9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God: 10 out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet water and bitter? (No if its bitter its all bitter.) 12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? neither can salt water yield sweet. 13 Who is wise and understanding among you? let him show by his good life his works in meekness of wisdom. 14 But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom is not a wisdom that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed. Psa 139:23-24 Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts; 24 And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. Php 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honorable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Pro 4:23 Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life. Obviously there are those who know how to speak acceptably to others but their heart and thoughts are evil. They will still be judged for their thoughts and lies. Jeremiah 9:5 And they will deceive every one his neighbor, and will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies; they weary themselves to commit iniquity. They say they love you while their hide the dagger for your back. 2Tim 3:13 But evil men and impostors shall wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. Pro 26:24 He that hateth dissembleth with his lips; But he layeth up deceit within him: Rom 16:17-19 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them that are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which ye learned: and turn away from them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent. 19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I rejoice therefore over you: but I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple unto that which is evil. Lam 2:14 Thy prophets have seen for thee false and foolish visions; And they have not uncovered thine iniquity, to bring back thy captivity, But have seen for thee false oracles and causes of banishment.   Select Language Afrikaans Albanian Amharic Arabic Armenian Assamese Aymara Azerbaijani Bambara Basque Belarusian Bengali Bhojpuri Bosnian Bulgarian Catalan Cebuano Chichewa Chinese (Simplified) Chinese (Traditional) Corsican Croatian Czech Danish Dhivehi Dogri Dutch Esperanto Estonian Ewe Filipino Finnish French Frisian Galician Georgian German Greek Guarani Gujarati Haitian Creole Hausa Hawaiian Hebrew Hindi Hmong Hungarian Icelandic Igbo Ilocano Indonesian Irish Italian Japanese Javanese Kannada Kazakh Khmer Kinyarwanda Konkani Korean Krio Kurdish (Kurmanji) Kurdish (Sorani) Kyrgyz Lao Latin Latvian Lingala Lithuanian Luganda Luxembourgish Macedonian Maithili Malagasy Malay Malayalam Maltese Maori Marathi Meiteilon (Manipuri) Mizo Mongolian Myanmar (Burmese) Nepali Norwegian Odia (Oriya) Oromo Pashto Persian Polish Portuguese Punjabi Quechua Romanian Russian Samoan Sanskrit Scots Gaelic Sepedi Serbian Sesotho Shona Sindhi Sinhala Slovak Slovenian Somali Spanish Sundanese Swahili Swedish Tajik Tamil Tatar Telugu Thai Tigrinya Tsonga Turkish Turkmen Twi Ukrainian Urdu Uyghur Uzbek Vietnamese Welsh Xhosa Yiddish Yoruba Zulu Powered by Translate Printer-friendly version

What do Smokey the Bear and the third chapter of James have in common? Wildfires!Join in the discussion as Gary and Rick take a couple minutes to examine James chapter three."Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things.

James 3:1-4:10 1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. 2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. 3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. 4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. 7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: 8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? 12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. 13 Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. 14 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. 4 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

Buckminster Fuller discovered nature's coordinate system which is geodesic vectorial geometry.  Coincidentally this is where my experience of democracy is occurring.  To the best of my observations and accumulated knowledge, the concept True Democracy, referential to the coordinate system of nature's conceptualities found in Synergetics is a unique innovation.  The inspiration derives from Bucky Fuller's extensively explicit geometric models, the topology of which provide what my imagination's systemic thought strives to correlate to the understandable interrelating system integrities.  Logically, it is universally understood that democracy is a complex governing system.  Parameters already exist relative to the synergetic possibility of forming a more perfect union.  Therewith we can assign number values that perhaps can coincide with learning about the quantum accounting correlatively to the isotropic vector matrix, a cosmic hierarchy, Universe's omnirational operational field complex.  Experimentally this education process is a simplified correlation, for example, the 50 United States as but one contextual parameter that might correlate to the 50-frequency vector equilibrium.  Another inviting conceptual value of as yet to be fully imagined clarified and verified association is vector equilibrium as equanimity model.  Metaphysical intellect as a function of Universe in a True Democracy identifies conceptual values differentiated from the inherited practices that devalue individuals in the underway matters.  So that not only is metaphysical intellect known to be a function of Universe.  The metaphysical observer is not dismissed but is fully accountable as an integral constituent, not devalued concerning what provides a single language that accounts for the metaphysical and physical and permits what provides an absolute accommodation network of energy articulation, AAANOEA.Our consciously knowledgeably competent articulations employ the word Universe, the epistemological model which is the Synergetic's equanimity model, the vector equilibrium.  It shares a design in both the metaphysical and the physical.  It permits metaphysical conceptual thinkability.  The angle-and-frequency modulatability of it identifies much that our freedom-loving humanity had no language awareness of before when we never could agree to learn more about governing principles.  Remember to read the entire transcript  ON MY WEBSITE sagesynergeticage.com/ for relevant links provided therein for your researching in this education experiment, SEEEEC Synergetics Eligion Experiential Experimental Education Complex

"My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh." James 3:1-12

Leaves for Healing of the Nations (4) (Audio) David Eells - 9/19/21  Demons Take Over if You Open the Door Claire Pienaar 8/27/21 (David's notes in red) I dreamed Riaan and I were living on a hill. (Riaan means, “little king” and Claire means, “brilliance”. They are being used as a type of the Man-child and Bride.) We had a large property that was very vast with well defined boundaries. (This hill represents Mt. Zion, the city on a hill, that is located in our spiritual promised land. Zion represents the Bride from which the Man-child rules as King David ruled from the throne of God in the midst of Jerusalem. This property has well defined boundaries because being a member of the body of the Bride requires sanctification and staying on the narrow path which is confining because of the commandment that Jesus laid down for His disciples in the New Covenant.) At the bottom of the hill a new family had moved in right next to our fence. They had at least 5 children but maybe more. These children were everywhere, climbing over everything and intent on wrestling with my children. I tried to keep my children as separate as possible but it was very difficult. (This family with all their unruly children who want to wrestle with our fruit, Christ in us, represent lukewarm apostate Christians. They have religious demons and unclean spirits from living un-sanctified lives. They are disturbed by the Real Jesus that lives inside of us and they always want to contend with or deny the whole Word of God.) They had moved in from somewhere in Australia, and both the husband and wife had black hair and sparkling black eyes. Their mother (not sure whose mother) was also with them, and she had black hair too. (The mother-in-law represents the mother church of religious sects and denominations. She is the mother of the harlots. Their hair is black because black hair represents being in submission to darkness and their eyes being black represent Mat.6:22-24 The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. 23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness! 24 No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.)   They were all professors of some sort. The man was a professor of marine life. (Professor is a play on words. A “professor” can also mean: a person who affirms a faith in or allegiance to something. Marine life could represent the study of man's ways and methods which are all under the curse represented by the water. Jer. 17:5 Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.)  The grandmother was a professor of psychology. (Psychology could represent man's methods to bring healing and restoration to the mind rather than relying on repentance and believing the Word of God to transform the mind and bring the supernatural healing of the mind of Christ. Many people including so called Christians are in idolatry with education and humanistic reasoning. They value the intelligence and understanding of men with their degrees and they are puffed up with intellectual demons. They are proud of their educational achievements.)  They assured me they were only renting for a time, and then they would be going back to Queensland. (The demons always assure you that their presence in your life or promised land is not so bad and they try to convince their victims to let them stay awhile. Queensland could be a play on words. The Bible describes Babylon the Great as a Queen in Rev. 18:7 How much soever she glorified herself, and waxed wanton, so much give her of torment and mourning: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall in no wise see mourning. Some try to join the Bride but soon return to Babylon which suits their nature.) The wife opened up a take-away food store in my yard. (Take-away food store is a play on words. Babylon DS is in the process of taking away our food supplies to create a global famine. Spiritually the Babylonish words and thinking is what they feed.) All these really scary-looking, drugged, tattooed, weapon-wielding men were buying food. (This could represent those who belong to the body of the Beast and who have his Mark.)  I was so hungry in my dream, but I could not eat anything that she sold. I was flummoxed as to why she thought she could sell food on my property. (The vax mandates are the first step in a process to disenfranchise people and Christians from being able to buy and sell without the Mark of the Beast. Spiritually we see their apostate thinking and that it is leaven.) The woman had a huge black dog with her, larger than life. The dog was unpleasant and it kept on coming for me. I kept on leading the dog back to her, but then she'd command it to follow me. I really got quite fed up after my 3rd attempt at taking it back to her. (This represents the woman that uses the Beast to persecute the saints. Rev. 17:3-6 ...and I saw a woman sitting upon a scarlet-colored beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. 4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and decked with gold and precious stone and pearls, having in her hand a golden cup full of abominations, even the unclean things of her fornication, 5 and upon her forehead a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. 6 And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.) I then walked to the front door of my house and the old grandmother pulled up in a black car and said, “Let me look at your palm. Ah, that's why you're scared. I am also like that…” She trailed off but I stopped listening and pulled my hand away and said, “Stop it. Stop trying to come into my life”. (Those who are in submission to the Harlot always try to use witchcraft against the righteous and they are constantly speaking word curses on us and praying witchcraft prayers against us. We should cast these attacks down and not listen to their seductive words that take away our faith.) Their kids were in our yard, and my children were crying and saying, “They're evil! Help us!” I had tears in my eyes. I felt like it was coming from all sides. I could only have two of my children in my arms, and one was crouching at my feet. We stood there, unsure of what was happening. (These spirits bring chaos and confusion and they bombard us with attacks from all sides to get us out of the rest and distracted from faith. They try to cause us to lose our spiritual balance so that we are not effective in doing spiritual warfare against them and getting them off of our land.) Our property was so large but it was over-run with these badly behaved children. They acted like monkeys, defecating everywhere and swinging from the light fixtures everywhere. I just stood there, praying silently. I wondered why I had thought it good to invite them in to meet them. Then I woke up. (Once we open the door to the enemy, he will expect it is his right to come back and defile us at will.) I received by faith at random for this dream Ezekiel 7:6, (in context 5-8) Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An evil, an only evil; behold, it cometh. 6 An end is come, the end is come; it awaketh against thee; behold, it cometh. 7 Thy doom is come unto thee, O inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting, upon the mountains. 8 Now will I shortly pour out my wrath upon thee, and accomplish mine anger against thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will bring upon thee all thine abominations. ) (God is going to Judge the Apostate leadership in the Church for all the confusion and havoc they have wreaked because they were greedy and didn't love the truth more than they loved the world and their own lives. 1 Pe. 4:17 For the time is come for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?) I asked The Lord for another verse by faith at random for myself in this dream. I received Acts 27:35 “God in the presence of all” (in context 34-35) Wherefore I beseech you to take some food: for this is for your safety: for there shall not a hair perish from the head of any of you. And when he had said this, and had taken bread, he gave thanks to God in the presence of all; and he brake it, and began to eat. (When the storms of the enemy fall upon us like a flood we must stay in the Word and build up our faith. This is the only salvation for us and for our fruit as well as our loved ones that we are believing for household salvation.)   The Apostates Abort Christ, Our Fruit Adriana Santoro - 9/26/21 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was heavily pregnant. (We are pregnant with Christ in us our hope of glory. He is our fruit that we must bare 30, 60, and 100 fold in order to enter the kingdom of God.) I was walking through, what looked like, an eery forest that was also a graveyard. It was extremely misty, dark and damp. (The eery forest with the graveyard represents our wilderness trials of death to self and the exercising of our faith in order to bare the fruit of Christ. 1 Pe. 4:12-13 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial among you, which cometh upon you to prove you, as though a strange thing happened unto you: 13 but insomuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings, rejoice; that at the revelation of his glory also ye may rejoice with exceeding joy.) I was walking through this forest and graveyard barefoot, with a dress on, but the dress looked somewhat soaked. (Walking barefoot represents not walking in sanctification and separation from the world and its worldly ways. The dress being soaked represents being subjected to the curses of this world represented by the water.) I was walking as though I was lost, but searching for help. (We are all lost in degrees as we are searching for truth and help to understand God's Word and His ways.)  I was miscarrying. (When we aren't walking a sanctified, separated life from the world, we, who are like Mary, Jesus' mother, will miscarry Jesus, our fruit, and lose the seed which was sown in the womb of our hearts. Mat. 13:18-23 Hear then ye the parable of the sower. (Jesus was the sower) 19 When any one heareth the word of the kingdom, and understandeth it not, then cometh the evil one, and snatcheth away that which hath been sown in his heart. This is he that was sown by the way side. 20 And he that was sown upon the rocky places, this is he that heareth the word, and straightway with joy receiveth it; 21 yet hath he not root in himself, but endureth for a while; and when tribulation or persecution ariseth because of the word, straightway he stumbleth. 22 And he that was sown among the thorns, this is he that heareth the word; and the care of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful. 23 And he that was sown upon the good ground, this is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; who verily beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.) At first, when I was walking around, there was no one there and I found this hidden bath that was carved out of the earth and the water was clear, and there was a lot of steam coming out of it. (As we will see this bath represents religion and religious practices and idolatry that will stunt the growth of our spirit man and cause us to miscarry Christ, our fruit. Because the apostates don't preach faith only man's works to save themselves.)  I then saw a woman (I don't know who she was, nor could I even see her properly), who advised me to get into the bath because of the miscarriage. (The steam obscures our ability to see the woman Harlot Church clearly. Many start out in religion because they are still growing in their discernment. Many get trapped there and never escape her delusions and deceptions and they will go on to miscarry Jesus, the seed that was planted in their hearts.) She told me to pray, but the unusual thing was, next to this bath was a dirt wall that had framed dull images of religious deities. Sort of like a shrine for every type of ‘god, or goddess.' There was Buddha, Ganesha, Mary etc. (This is why this woman is called the Mother of the Harlots because she encompasses all the religions of the earth. From Babel peoples departed from the true God because of religious spirits. Since the dawn of Christianity many so called Christian religions have departed from the true God so we see that there are actually two Mothers of Harlots that branched into many daughters. In both ways satan sought to dilute the truth and lead people away from it. None of these daughters can bring forth the fruit of Christ who is the Word.) I remember asking the woman, “Who she expected me to pray to, why this was happening and why there were so many conflicting religious photos on the dirt wall?” (The mother church is in idolatry with demonic religious spirits and receives their seed instead of the seed of Christ only, who is the rightful husband.)  I asked her if I would ever be able to carry a child again and she said, “No.” (In following the directions of this false mother church there is no way to bare the fruit of Christ. The Apostate church always gives out the bad report because they aren't believers. They have no faith in the promises of God and they don't teach faith. They don't believe that Christ can be birthed in us. They even preach that we have no hope of being holy and that we will always be sinners.) I had no blood signifying that I was miscarrying, nor did I even feel excruciating pain. I just remember feeling sick and extremely depressed as though the child had been murdered, and I knew I had lost my child. (Spiritually speaking, our fruit is murdered by the apostate Church who steals the Good News of the Gospel from our hearts with their false doctrines and the worship of another Jesus. 2 Co. 11:4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if ye receive a different spirit, which ye did not receive, or a different gospel, which ye did not accept, ye do well to bear with him. In parallel, the faction in the church imparts spirits of faction and witchcraft which puts to death the seed of Christ in all who listen or read their words.) At the same time, It felt as though all women (although no one else was around) were experiencing this globally; losing their children and their fertility also. (In the natural, which in Jesus' parables is always a type for the spiritual, the mandatory vac/cin/es are causing a huge increase in spontaneous abortions and the spike proteins attach to the ovaries and the endometrium of the uterus causing infertility and an inability for the egg to implant itself inside the uterus. In this way the DS is de-populating the earth. In the spiritual, the leaven of religion leavens the lump of Christianity and is also de-populating true Christianity. Those who fall away leave a sanctified body.) All I remember from there is laying in this steaming bath looking up at these photos. I was extremely confused as to why I couldn't see God and had been told to pray to everyone else, as if He didn't exist at all and mourning the loss of becoming a mother. (If we listen to another gospel then we will never become the mother of Jesus and will not be able to enter the kingdom of heaven. If we behold the face of a false Jesus we can never become the mother of Jesus. Mark 3:31-35 And there come his mother and his brethren; and, standing without, they sent unto him, calling him. 32 And a multitude was sitting about him; and they say unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. 33 And he answereth them, and saith, Who is my mother and my brethren? 34 And looking round on them that sat round about him, he saith, Behold, my mother and my brethren! 35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.)   Think and Speak the Things of the Kingdom David Eells  The Bible tells us that Death and life are in the power of the tongue (Pro.18:21). Let's study how we can cooperate with God in this process of sanctification so that we are those who speak life and partake of the benefits of the Kingdom. (Jas.3:8-12) But the tongue can no man tame; [it is] a restless evil, [it is] full of deadly poison. (9) Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God: (10) out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. (11) Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening [sweet water] and bitter? (12) can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? neither [can] salt water yield sweet.  We want to learn, by the grace of God, to bring forth those “sweet waters.” When Moses and the children of Israel came up to Marah, meaning “bitterness” (Exodus 15:22-25), they couldn't drink the water. God commanded that a tree be cast into the waters so that they would be made sweet. Marah represents the bitter waters of the fountain, or mouth, which were cured by the tree, which represents the Cross. The Cross has conquered our tongue and has given us this gift of the sweet waters so we can bring forth blessings, instead of the cursings, out of this spring of our mouth. But the Bible also tells us, The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips (Pro.16:23). So we want to educate ourselves to be swift to hear, slow to speak,and slow to wrath (Jas.1:19). We need to think about what we are saying and disagree with the devil because he tempts us from birth to speak the things of the world and not the things of the Kingdom. The Lord is helping us and He has already conquered the tongue, which no man can tame, but the Lord can, through His Word and promises. Jesus was the sacrifice Who gave us a new tongue through the reconciliation. (Jos.1:6) Be strong and of good courage; for thou shalt cause this people to inherit the land which I sware unto their father to give them. (7) Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good success whithersoever thou goest. Notice that God said that Joshua (which is Hebrew for “Jesus”) was going to cause His people to be brought into their inherited Promised Land. As we have discovered, the Promised Land is actually us! (Hebrews 6:4-8 For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, 6 and then fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7 For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God: 8 but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned.) The Son of God is being manifested in His people. (Col.1:27) ... Christ in you, the hope of glory. He is a product of the Word of God being assimilated in your life; Christ is the Word of God (John 1:14). We crucify that spiritual man when we walk in the flesh and for the Christians who have the power to do otherwise, who have been filled with the Holy Spirit and enlightened, who have tasted of the heavenly gift, this will become a curse unto them. (Heb.6:7) For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God: (8) but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned.  We discovered that the word “rejected” is adokimos, meaning, specifically, “reprobated.” The apostle Paul said that he kept his body under control if, perhaps, after he had preached to others, he himself would be “rejected” or “reprobated” (1 Corinthians 9:27). God doesn't reprobate land; He reprobates people. The Bible is very plain that we are God's "tilled land". (1Co.3:9) For we are God's fellow-workers: ye are God's husbandry (Greek: “tilled land”), God's building. God wants to plow this earth, our bodies, and plant His seed in the midst of it, bringing forth the fruit of Jesus Christ in us.  The land that ‘Joshua' wants to cause us to inherit is referring to our life. The spiritual man, the Israelite, is to conquer this land with the edge of the sword, the Word of God. The spiritual man is to take the land from the Canaanite and live in his house, our body, and plant his crop and bear the fruit of the spiritual man, rather than the fruit of the carnal man, the Canaanite. (Jos.1:7) Only be strong and very courageous, to observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest have good success whithersoever thou goest. Notice that turning to the right or left would cause failure to take the Promised Land. I had a dream many years ago where I was standing on a mountain, looking down into a valley and a road that went down the side of this mountain. The road had a ditch or trench down the middle of it. I was in a car, with one set of tires on one side of the trench and the other set on the other side, going down this road to the bottom of the mountain. I realized I couldn't turn to the right or the left because, if I did, two wheels would fall into the trench and that would be the end of it; I wouldn't go any farther. I steered very carefully, not to the right and not to the left, as I went down this mountain. The Lord gave me the understanding of this afterward that this mountain represented the kingdom of the world or man, self or the old life. I was to navigate this road and not turn to the right or left, until I got off of this mountain. Going down it represents humbling ones self. As soon as I was at the bottom, I immediately realized that there were enemies everywhere. To the extent that we humble ourselves to the Word of God, going down the mountain of “self,” the more enemies we will have, even religious enemies or so-called “Christian” enemies. (2Ti.3:12) ... All that would live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. Most of the persecution toward Jesus and the disciples came from the people who called themselves the “people of God.”  When I got to the bottom and knew that the enemy was everywhere, I went under a bush and there I found tools that I picked up, as if they were treasure. These tools were hammers, screw- drivers, wrenches and so on. The Lord later revealed to me that these tools represented the authority to bind and loose, as all of these tools do. (Matthew 18:18 Verily I say unto you, what things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.) The Lord was basically telling me that I was coming to a time, when under the bush, that I was going to pick up this authority. This also is the authority to permit or forbid. What we permit of the leaven in our lives will be permitted but it will make us powerless. At the time of the burning bush, Moses was given authority to go into Egypt to act for the Lord. I've been binding and loosing for many years but I believe that we're coming to a time of real power from God. It's only going to come to those who humble themselves to the word and don't turn to the right or to the left, but stay on God's road, a self-crucifying path of obedience to the Word of God.  When I picked up these tools, I went up another mountain, which was Mount Zion. I went through the front doors of a great temple, which I believe represented the New Jerusalem on Mount Zion. Whom did I see there? I saw Jesus sitting on His throne. I went over and sat down next to Him, as He said overcomers would do. (Rev.3:21) He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne. As I was speaking with Jesus, I heard people trying to come into the throne room by a back way and not through the door that I had come through, similar to John 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. Jesus saw these people and said, “Don't worry about them; they can't come in here.” Basically, it was people looking for “throne room” authority but they wouldn't humble themselves to the Word of God and pick up that authority to bind and loose. We talk a lot about faith and speaking faith but you can't disconnect it from obedience to the Word of God. God will give authority only to those who overcome according to Revelation 2:26. (Jos.1:8) This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth, but thou shalt meditate thereon day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Speaking the Word so that you walk it will bring good success when conquering our Promised Land for the Lord. Let the spiritual man conquer the carnal man. We must think and speak according to God's promises, even in the midst of the fiery trial.  Do we speak according to the promise or do we speak the things of the world? Are we moved by our carnal senses to speak against what we have in heavenly places? As Christians, we are to call the things that are not, as though they were (Rom.4:17). We speak the things we have according to promise and not according to what we see in the world. This faith that we have and speak changes the things around us. This is God's plan. We let the Word, or our agreement with the Word in what we say, come from our mouth so that we may have good success in conquering the Promised Land. We must take our land for the Lord. Further on in Joshua, we see that he is still leading the people of God to conquer their Promised Land, in order to put to death their enemy. In this particular case, the head of God's people, Joshua, is conquering the Amorites. (Jos.10:12) Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the children of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; And thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon. I believe God is showing us here to what extent He would go to give our enemy into our hands, if we would speak the Word with boldness. He will go to great lengths to give us victory over our enemy. (Jos.10:8) And the Lord said unto Joshua, Fear them not: for I have delivered them into thy hands; there shall not a man of them stand before thee.  We discovered that the “man” He was referring to was the old man who lived in the Promised Land before the new man took possession. The old man represented the lusts of the flesh, which would not be able to stand. Joshua and the children of Israel were having victory over the Amorites but they were running out of time. Remember, the Lord said that if we confess Him before men, He shall confess us before the Father in Matthew 10:32. Likewise, Joshua confessed this in the sight of Israel. He didn't hide and speak this, in fear that it wouldn't work or that he would be made a fool. Joshua was bold and full of faith and he spoke it right in front of Israel, (Jos.10:12) Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; And thou, Moon, in the valley of Aijalon. (13) And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, Until the nation had avenged themselves of their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jashar? And the sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. Think about this. At first, I thought God just stopped Earth from spinning, but I later realized that the moon stayed in the same relative position as the sun and Earth didn't spin, so the whole solar system had stopped. This is a very dangerous thing to do, unless you also control the rest of the universe! Things would tend toward collision down the road somewhere. Can you imagine that God stopped the solar system and more, just so Israel could conquer their enemy? What kind of other big miracle can you imagine that God would do for us to give us victory over our enemy? God gave the Israelites an awesome victory over their enemies! Of course, they needed the time and, for a whole day, the system was frozen.  People claim that God only did that back then and does not do that today, simply because of the verse right after it. (Jos.10:14) And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the Lord fought for Israel. Well, the Lord still hearkens unto our voice, for many people speak miracles today and they come to pass as they did in the Bible long after Joshua. But I want to point out that he that is but little in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he (Mat.11:11). This is speaking about John the Baptist, whom the Lord said was the greatest of the Old Testament prophets.  In the Old Testament, His people hadn't entered into the Kingdom yet. By the way, who is it living in us? Is it God or man? It is Christ in you, the hope of glory (Col.1:27). Who was Christ? He was the Word made flesh (John 1:14) and He is still in His body. He also said, the words that I have spoken unto you are spirit, and are life (Joh.6:63), meaning they are His Spirit and His life. In other words, it's the life of God living in us; it's the spiritual man who speaks in agreement with the Word of God. Also, remember that it is the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Eph.6:17).  Therefore, it's not as if God is hearkening unto the voice of a man, but He is hearkening unto the voice of His sons. That spiritual man in us is not man, but God. The Son of God is manifesting in His people and He speaks words out of us. When we come in agreement with the Word, we can be trusted. The Lord said, If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you (Joh.15:7). Why? The Word in you is trustworthy to God. If you fill yourself up with the Word and you desire earnestly to walk in agreement with it, God believes you are trustworthy. A long time after Joshua, the Lord wrote this: (Isa.45:11) Thus saith the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker: Ask me of the things that are to come; concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands, command ye me. Does God really do that? When you command something to be done, like when His disciples commanded healings, deliverances, provision and so on, who is it, who fulfilled that? It was God. It wasn't their power but the authority they had been given by God. Authority is the right to use power. Authority is also what we do when we speak in agreement with the Word of God and God brings it to pass. In effect, what we are doing is commanding God, since He said that if we do, He will do it and Jesus said the same. To whom did God give the power over the work of His hands? Psalm 8 was spoken concerning natural Adam and his seed, but also in type to spiritual Adam, Jesus Christ, and His seed. (Psa.8:6) Thou makest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet. This was said of man and the Son of man. Jesus said that God had given Him authority because He is son of man (Joh.5:27). Man was given authority on the earth but we lost it through Adam because he sinned giving his authority to the devil. God said, “his servants you are whom you obey.” However, we gained it back through the last Adam, Jesus Christ, because He was tested and remained faithful.  Once again, we have been given this authority over the works of God's hands and when we speak in agreement with the Word of God, God fulfills it. God still fulfills the Word of God in our mouths and has put everything under our feet. (Lam.3:37) Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? Even the devil has no sovereign authority; he has to get permission, as we see in the book of Job. Who gives him permission today? "What we loose on earth is loosed in heaven.” When we speak against the Word we permit the devil. To reiterate the point, Joshua exercised dominion and authority given from God, even to the extent that the solar system was frozen in place so God's people could conquer their enemies. The next thing we see in Joshua is that he went after the five kings who were ruling the Promised Land. (Jos.10:16-19) And these five kings fled, and hid themselves in the cave at Makkedah. (17) And it was told Joshua, saying, The five kings are found, hidden in the cave at Makkedah. (18) And Joshua said, Roll great stones unto the mouth of the cave, and set men by it to keep them: (19) but stay not ye; pur- sue after your enemies, and smite the hindmost of them; suffer them not to enter into their cities: for the Lord your God hath delivered them into your hand. The first thing they did was trap the five kings in the cave and then they rolled great stones over the mouth of the cave.  Remember that Adam was created from the dust of the earth (Genesis 2:7) and this old man is earthly, but as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly (1Co.15:49). We are both earthly and heavenly, a spiritual man of the heavens and the carnal man of the earth. The carnal man of the earth has a mouth and here it's called “the mouth of the cave.” The Lord made the spiritual men roll these great stones over the mouth of the cave. What's the purpose of that? The five kings represent the five senses and the spiritual man put stones, that represent the Word, over the mouth so the carnal senses are not permitted to speak. If they are permitted to speak we will lose the battle. Let me explain further. The Bible says that senses must be exercised by the Word of God so that we understand the difference between good and evil. (Heb.5:13) For every one that partaketh of milk is without experience of the word of righteousness; for he is a babe. (14) But solid food is for fullgrown men, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern good and evil. As born-again people, we must have born-again senses. As spiritual men, we must have spiritual senses.  Our carnal senses trapped us and ruled over us and our land because people lived according to their carnal senses and they saw and felt and heard as the world did. They couldn't walk by faith or see the end from the beginning, as God is teaching us to do. (2Pe.1:3) Seeing that his divine power hath granted unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that called us by his own glory and virtue.  Can you see that God has already provided you everything that pertains unto life and godliness? You don't have to fight and struggle for it anymore. Now you have the eyes of a dove (Song of Solomon 1:15). You have the eyes of the Spirit when you begin to see that the promise is true but the world is transitory. It's passing away but the promise is true. (2Pe.1:4) Whereby he hath granted unto us his precious and exceeding great promises (the stones at the mouth of the cave); that through these ye may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped from the corruption that is in the world by lust.  So, if we have eyes to see, we can partake of God's nature, we will have spiritual eyes, spiritual ears, spiritual touch, spiritual smell (or discernment), spiritual taste and words; we will have those spiritual gifts that enable the spiritual man to take over. The Israelites had captured the five kings who ruled the Promised Land in a cave and they closed up the mouth with great stones. As you know, Jesus is the Stone; He's the Rock which is the Word of God. These great stones represent the great promises of the Word of God. We're adding learning to our lips, which are the “mouth of the cave.” When we study the Word of God, we learn and see what we are supposed to say and what we're not supposed to say. The Word of God gives us restraint to not say things that would permit a curse upon our life. The Israelites knew that to conquer the Promised Land, they had to conquer these senses first, these kings that rule over the carnal man and bring the curse upon him. And this is what the parable points to; rolling out those stones in front of the mouth. (Eph.4:29) Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying (building-up) as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear. If we see and walk in the Spirit, then we speak in agreement with the Spirit. (2Co.7:1) Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.  We have the power to change our nature and this is accomplished by the Word of God. As long as you agree with the world and see your natural face in the mirror, you are never going to be any different. But we need to behold in the mirror the glory of the Lord so we can be changed into that same image. (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. If we have eyes to see only in the natural, then we are not going to conquer the curse for the Kingdom. When we see a need, such as someone living under the curse, we should speak things that answer the need. What we speak should give God's people grace to overcome, grace to meet that need, whatever it may be. When we speak according to the Kingdom, we are meeting someone's need for God and His benefits. (Col.3:17) And whatsoever ye do, in word or in deed, [do] all in the name (Greek: “nature, character and authority”) of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus. Do it as if you are representing Him because you are an ambassador of Christ (2 Corinthians 5:20), so speak His words to this world. That's what we're called to do. We're called to confess Him before men always and to speak in His name, meaning nature, character and authority. (1Pe.4:11) If any man speaketh, speaking as it were oracles of God; if any man ministereth, [ministering] as of the strength which God supplieth: that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, whose is the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. Amen.  When we speak as an oracle of God, that is His Word coming out of us. We're letting Him do the speaking. We're letting the spiritual man, who is in communication with God through our spirit, do the speaking. We are not to let the carnal man, who is in communication with the world through the flesh, do the speaking. As Paul said, Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but such as is good for edifying as the need may be, that it may give grace to them that hear (Eph.4:29). This is what it means to roll the stones in front of the cave's mouth. To walk holy is to walk separate. The Greek word for “holy” is the same word for “sanctified” and it means “separate”; that is, separated from the world, separated from sin, separated unto God. We speak His words, we think His thoughts and we do His works because He lives in us. The more we do that, the more we grow in holiness. It's the place of Holiness. Without holiness, no man can see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). Holiness is what we grow in when we bear the fruit of Jesus Christ. It is separation from the old man, who is moved and ruled by the carnal senses, unto the new man, who is ruled according to the spiritual senses.  (Isa.11:2) And the Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. (3) And his delight shall be in the fear of the Lord; and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears; (4) but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and decide with equity for the meek of the earth; and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth; and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. (5) And righteousness shall be the girdle of his waist, and faithfulness the girdle of his loins. We are to be walking in the Lord's steps, if we abide in Him (1 John 2:5,6).  Isaiah is speaking here about the Branch in Isa. 11:1 which is being raised up in our day, called the Man-child. This is Christ in His first-fruits in the end-time. We are not to walk according to our carnal senses because he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither decide after the hearing of his ears (Isa.11:3). Instead, we are to have our senses exercised to discern good from evil (Hebrews 5:14). We are to have our senses exercised by the Word of God, which is the washing of water with the word (Eph.5:26). As our senses are exercised, we begin to see and hear spiritually; we begin to hear and speak the Voice of the Spirit. Joshua told the Israelites to go after their enemies, since the five kings were already trapped in the cave and they couldn't command their subjects from there because the mouth of the cave was closed off with the stones. Now the Israelites were able to conquer those whom the kings had ruled over. If you don't stop those kings from speaking, you will never be able to conquer those that they rule over, the carnal man. (Jos.10:20) And it came to pass, when Joshua and the children of Israel had made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they were consumed, and the remnant which remained of them had entered into the fortified cities, (21) that all the people returned to the camp to Joshua at Makkedah in peace: none moved his tongue against any of the children of Israel. (22) Then said Joshua, Open the mouth of the cave, and bring forth those five kings unto me out of the cave. (23) And they did so, and brought forth those five kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of Eglon.  (24) And it came to pass, when they brought forth those kings unto Joshua, that 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. They let them out of the cave and they had to keep them from speaking, so they put their feet on their necks.  This reminds me of the dream I had about being in a war with a giant and not letting the old man speak. When he did, he said, “Bigger, bigger, bigger!” We have a lot of giants around us; a lot of big problems and a lot of big enemies. We can't let the old man, whom I captured in the dream and who was in bondage to me, speak out of our mouth. I've been ruling over him for many years but it used to be the other way around; he was ruling over me. I didn't want to let him speak because the old man has the authority to make the situation worse and make the enemy stronger and bigger. But I refused him and demanded that the giant be reduced, saying, “No! Smaller, smaller, smaller.” So the giant that I saw ahead of us, standing before us, was not able to conquer me because I corrected the old man.  Similarly, the Israelites put their feet on the kings' necks, causing the five senses to not speak or to rule over the body. (Jos.10:25) And Joshua said unto them, Fear not, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage: for thus shall the Lord 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: and they were hanging upon the trees until the evening. Notice that all of our enemies will be conquered in this way. Jesus Christ was hanged upon a tree, or cross, and they wanted to take Him down before evening, too.  Jesus also was buried in a cave. So why is God applying this to the senses of the old man? We were crucified with Christ in Gal. 2:20 and that includes our five senses. We, too often, get caught up in the idea that “I” have to conquer my senses, “I” have to conquer this tongue. Well, you are putting all the responsibility upon yourself, instead of remembering that the Lord has already taken care of this problem. He was crucified on that tree and you were crucified with Christ and you don't live any longer but Christ lives in you. (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.  Remember that your old senses were crucified with Christ. You have been given this gift of the new man, for by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified (Heb.10:14). This gift comes along with these new spiritual senses. We walk in the spirit according to these divine senses, the senses that are attuned to the Kingdom of Heaven, the senses that see how to walk in the Kingdom, instead of how to walk in the world. It comes quite naturally to us to walk in the world but it comes supernaturally to us to walk in the Kingdom; that is, to have our senses exercised by the Word of God to see and hear the way God sees and hears, and to smell, or discern, the way God does. It is also to have our emotions in communication with God. (Jos.10:27) And it came to pass at the time of the going down of the sun, that Joshua commanded, and they took them down off the trees, and cast them into the cave wherein they had hidden themselves, and laid great stones on the mouth of the cave, unto this very day. So why cover the kings now? Well, the old man is still in the inside but he's dead now and that's the whole point. We are to come to the place that we don't let that old man speak ever again. If you let him speak, let him live, let him come down off that cross, he will continue to live, to grow and to rule your life.  You need to remember that the Lord has crucified him, including his senses. God has already taken care of this and we get to rejoice in the victory that has been given to us already. The victory is that the old man and his senses are dead and the new man, Who is Jesus Christ, lives in you. Because of your faith and speaking that faith, God will bring it to pass. It's not that we are able to do so by our own power and ingenuity; the old man is not going to put the old man to death. It's through faith and not by works. (Eph.2:8) For by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, [it is] the gift of God; (9) not of works, that no man should glory.  We really can't help ourselves but we know Someone Who can. We know we can turn to the Lord, Who gave His life for us. We also know that He has given us these spiritual senses and we can claim them by faith. We claim that God has given us a new tongue and a new life, that by one offering He has perfected us in Hebrews 10:14. “I accept your perfection, Lord. I accept that Jesus lives in me. I accept that you will put a watch upon my lips and you will not let anything go forth out of my lips that is not in agreement with your Word.” He tells us to do just that. (Psa.141:3) Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips. (4) Incline not my heart to any evil thing, To practise deeds of wickedness With men that work iniquity: And let me not eat of their dainties.    Select LanguageAfrikaansAlbanianAmharicArabicArmenianAzerbaijaniBasqueBelarusianBengaliBosnianBulgarianCatalanCebuanoChichewaChinese (Simplified)Chinese (Traditional)CorsicanCroatianCzechDanishDutchEsperantoEstonianFilipinoFinnishFrenchFrisianGalicianGeorgianGermanGreekGujaratiHaitian CreoleHausaHawaiianHebrewHindiHmongHungarianIcelandicIgboIndonesianIrishItalianJapaneseJavaneseKannadaKazakhKhmerKinyarwandaKoreanKurdish (Kurmanji)KyrgyzLaoLatinLatvianLithuanianLuxembourgishMacedonianMalagasyMalayMalayalamMalteseMaoriMarathiMongolianMyanmar (Burmese)NepaliNorwegianOdia (Oriya)PashtoPersianPolishPortuguesePunjabiRomanianRussianSamoanScots GaelicSerbianSesothoShonaSindhiSinhalaSlovakSlovenianSomaliSpanishSundaneseSwahiliSwedishTajikTamilTatarTeluguThaiTurkishTurkmenUkrainianUrduUyghurUzbekVietnameseWelshXhosaYiddishYorubaZulu Powered by Translate Printer-friendly version

Our closing scripture (did not make it into the recording this week), and comes to you from the book of Hebrew 4:12-16, and it was provided by Brother Jeffery, amen.   This week, Minister Miller, subject is: “The Whole Truth! ”. Minister Miller taught on truth today, he profoundly explained the goodness that truth is for anyone, especially for us as christians. As explained and clearly stated in the Bible, he elaborates why we should strive to inveterate our lives in it. However, should we choose to use the apple picking method instead, entwining the truth with lies and choosing to hide behind what may seem as an easier way, Minister Miller ensured early on in his lesson that this approach is never the best, and urged us to understand that there is no truth in such a behavior. Therewith, his lesson clearly explained how lying shares no substance with truth, and when mixing a lie with the truth under any circumstances, it is dishonest. Minister Miller then proffers an example and explains that rather we feel it is necessary to spare someones feelings, like the grossly failed attempt by Adam and Eve to hide from God rather than face the truth, it is the truth that will be sacrificed and its byproduct, destroys our character and conduct in many different ways. If we are not honest and truthful with our own intentions; statements; concerns; or beliefs, we become deceptive and untrustworthy. The truth is always the best practice, especially for christians, why, it is obvious and because as christians we choose a long and inveterate life with Jesus and apart from that, the affect is to distance ourselves from others, just as Adam and Eve did under the revelation of their disobedience. Minister Miller, brings God's word into this lesson through the explanation he gave related to Adam's and Eve's sins, and explain how the ostentatious ploys of satan was used to persuade Eve and eventually Adam which was evident by their deception. This was a result of their guilt which was rooted in the deceitfulness of their action, and it has spread like a poisonous virus throughout the history of the world. This weakness was exemplified in how Adam never resisted, nor did he stand against Eve rather, he chose to avoid God out of his guilt. Their actions became what most of us are familiar with today, and we can clearly relate this to Adam's and Eve's countenance, and as it is explicitly expressed in great details throughout many Bible versus—Adam and Eve became withdrawn and even reticent because of their overwhelming guilt and disobedience. Granted, this choice of theirs to listen to a serpent, caused a great sacrifice for them and for the world. Minister Miller then alludes to the true processes of truth, in that, it is  only through genuine conformity, whereas, every aspects of untruths has been surgically separated and disbanded from our spiritual-self, that we can be in harmony with God. Furthermore, his teachings explains that this is a charged to us from God, that the sins of Adam and Eve has caused man to be plagued with the labor of the world, and for women to bear her children and the pain associated thereby.. He then, with the most sensitive of clarity, elucidate the first known lie, the deception by Adam and Eve which exists in every facet of our lives since the beginning of time. Minister Miller took this opportunity to draw the line in the sand, that in this day, we often fall victim to our own transgressions and choose to listen to a lie versus relying on the word of God. This grave mistake as Minister Miller points out through scriptures, was conquer through the sacrifices of Jesus, that gave you and I, our chance to chose the path of eternal life by the Word of God that is, the absolute truth. Minister Miller goes further in depth, digesting through the scriptures, our need to see the truth; to repudiate the temptations of the world, and to gain a clear understanding of our part by accepting the word of God for the passage to that truth. Upon you listening to the remainder of his lesson, you will be amazed by his passion for you and I to eschew the lies of the world; to trust God; and to focus on a rich life in Jesus.

Today’s reading is from James 3:9-10 "Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. "Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be."  Take a few moments to meditate on these verses.  Now, take some time to think about and answer these questions: 9. What two contradictory actions are done with the same mouth? Blessing and cursing. 10. Should this be? No. This has been Three Minute Bible Study: Three minutes, two verses, no trick questions.  All verses are taken from the King James Version of the Bible.

My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

Background: Magnesium alloys as biodegradable implant materials received much interest in recent years. It is known that products of implant degradation can induce several types of immune response. Hence, the aim of this study was to examine the morphological changes of efferent lymph nodes after implantation of different resorbable magnesium alloys (MgCa0.8, LAE442) in comparison to commercially available resorbable (PLA) and non-resorbable (titanium) implant materials as well as control groups without implant material. Methods: The different implant materials were inserted intramedullary into the rabbit tibia. After postoperative observation periods of three and six months, popliteal lymph nodes were examined histologically and immunhistologically and compared to lymph nodes of sham operated animals and animals without surgery. Haematoxylin and eosin staining was performed for cell differentiation. Mouse anti-CD79 alpha and rat anti-CD3 monoclonal primary antibodies were used for B- and T-lymphocyte detection, mouse anti-CD68 primary antibodies for macrophage detection. Evaluation of all sections was performed applying a semi quantitative score. Results: The histological evaluation demonstrated low and moderate levels of morphological changes for both magnesium alloys (LAE442 and MgCa0.8). Higher than moderate values were reached for titanium in sinus histiocytosis and histiocytic apoptosis (3 months) and for PLA in histiocytic apoptosis (3 and 6 months). The immune response to all investigated implants had a non-specific character and predominantly was a foreign-body reaction. LAE442 provoked the lowest changes which might be due to a lower degradation rate in comparison to MgCa0.8. Therewith it is a promising candidate for implants with low immunogenic potential. Conclusion: Both examined magnesium alloys did not cause significantly increased morphological changes in efferent lymph nodes in comparison to the widely used implant materials titanium and PLA. LAE442 induced even lower immunological reactions. Therewith MgCa0.8 and especially LAE442 are appropriate candidates for biomedical use.

This study characterizes Pur-α structurally and functionally. Pur-α is a highly conserved RNA- and DNA-binding protein involved in a multitude of cellular processes such as transcription, replication, cell cycle control, and mRNA transport. No homologous proteins with known structures are available. X-ray crystallography is often hampered by the lack of diffraction-quality protein crystals. This study demonstrates how this bottleneck was overcome by the combination of iterative use of sensitive bioinformatics tools and structure determination of a bacterial homolog. The identification of three repeat regions (PUR repeats) in eukaryotic Pur-α enabled the detection of a bacterial homolog, which corresponds to one PUR repeat. The crystal structure of Borrelia burgdorferi Pur-α was solved at 1.9 Å and was employed for precise domain boundary prediction for the Drosophila melanogaster ortholog. Therewith it became possible to obtain diffraction-quality crystals of eukaryotic Pur-α. The crystal structure of D. melanogaster Pur-α repeats I-II was solved at 2.1 Å and shares a highly conserved fold with B. burgdorferi Pur-α. One PUR repeat has an overall ββββα− topology, and two PUR repeats interact with each other to form a globular PUR domain. Small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) analysis together with analytical size-exclusion chromatography provided evidence that dimerization of full length Pur-α requires PUR repeat III. PUR repeat III is proposed to form a PUR domain with a PUR repeat III from another Pur-α molecule. Surface envelopes calculated from SAXS data comply with this dimerization model. DNA- as well as RNA-binding properties of Pur-α were examined by filter binding assays and electrophoretic mobility shift assays. Structure-guided mutagenesis identified the β-sheets of the PUR domain as the nucleic-acid binding surface. To assess the protein-binding properties of D. melanogaster Pur-α, a yeast-two-hybrid screen was commissioned and evaluated. It confirmed the self-interaction of Pur-α and yielded Arrestin1, LaminC, Eye and Cka as putative previously unknown interaction partners.

In the present study an efficient procedure for detecting salmonellas in feces of tortoises should be established. First of all a survey of occurrence of salmonellas in reptiles and their importance for reptiles as well as for man is given. Next an appropriate incubation temperature for multiplying salmonellas of reptilian origin in a selective enrichment medium was evaluated. Furthermore 86 salmonella strains isolated from reptiles were tested on nine different selec-tive solid media for their appearance; these media were BPLS-, DCLS-, HE-, MLCB-, ÖNÖZ-, RAMBACH-, SS-, WS- and XLD-Agar. The media were reviewed according to their qualification in identifying those strains. Finally 167 fecal samples of tortoises of different species and two lizards from Munich area were examined according to the former established procedure whether or not they harboured salmonellas. Therewith the suitability of this method should be determined and the incidence of salmonellas of these tortoises should be investigated. Following results were obtained: The best growth of salmonellas resulted from RAPPAPORT-VASSILIADIS and selenite cystine enrichment broth at an incubation temperature of 35-37 °C. The higher critical temperature for incubation of RAPPAPORT-VASSILIADIS enrichment medium is 42 °C; especially Salmonella subspecies IIIb often are inhibited in this medium at this temperature. For isolating salmonellae as well as for inhibiting competing organisms, an incubation temperature of 41 °C is emphasized for enrichment in RAPPAPORT-VASSILIADIS broth. Neither temperature investigated had any inhibitory effect on the growth rate of salmonellas in selenite cystine medium, but its inhibitory activity on competing organisms proved strik-ingly less, too. RAPPAPORT´s enrichment medium supports growing of salmonellas of reptilian origin least of all. For isolation of salmonellas from tortoises BPLS- and XLD-agar proved best for direct strik-ing as well as after previous enrichment in either RAPPAPORT-VASSILIADIS or selenite cystine medium or both. For investigation of snakes and lizards MLCB- or eventually WS-agar should be used. For achieving a most reliable statement at least two different agar media should be used for direct plating as well as for enrichment subculture. RAPPAPORT-VASSILIADIS and se-lenite cystine enrichment medium should be used simultaneously and spread on at least twice at different times of incubation. On account of the intermittent excretion of salmonellas sev-eral fecal samples should be examined. The more extended the effort the better the results will be. Though a single negative result never is absolutely reliable. In this study the incidence of salmonellas in tortoises – investigating only a single sample from each animal – ranks at about 10 %. Two out of 18 tortoises positive for salmonellas originated from different private owners; the remaining 16 belonged to two stocks of a pet shop. Therefore statements about higher incidence of wild cut or home bred tortoises were not practicable.
