Another Day For Zion!

The Lord awakened me @ 4:00 A.M.:

Psalm 129: 1 - 8 - Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth; may Israel now say: The plowers plowed upon my back; they made long their furrows. The Lord is righteous; he hath cut asunder the cords of the wicked. Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Zion. Let them be as the grass upon the housetops, which withereth afore it groweth up; Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that bindeth sheaves his bosom. Neither do they which go by say, The blessing of the Lord be upon you; we bless you in the name of the Lord.

Psalm 130: 1 -8 - Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord. Lord, hear my voice; Let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication. If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared. I wait for the Lord more than they that watch for the morning; I say, more than they that watch for the morning. Let Israel hope in the Lord; for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

(Over and over again [for the past two weeks] the Lord has placed these scriptures before my eyes.) Thank God for His mercy towards all men, today through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus Christ, the pure and spotless Lamb of God.

Prayer:

Lord, open the eyes of all men, women and children in the world today, to see You, to know You and to come to understand all things through Your wisdom, knowledge and understanding. You are a loving God who loves to give good gifts to your children. It is your desire to give us Your Kingdom. I pray today, Lord, that many ears will be opened to hear, eyes will be opened to see and hearts will be opened to receive all that You have prepared for those who love You! Let Your Word go forth - around the globe - with the news of the Risen Son! Bring the knowledge through Your Word, that we, can be raised with Him and that by Him we may be seated in heavenly places with Him!

God Bless the earth today and the inhabitants thereof! God Bless Israel! God bless His Church! Amen!

7:30 A.M.:

Ezekiel 16 (Entire Chapter)

3 - 9 - And say, Thus saith the Lord God unto Jerusalem; Thy birth and thy nativity is of the land of Canaan; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother a Hittite. And as for thy nativity, in the day thou wast born thy navel was not cut, neither wast thou washed in water to supple thee; thou wast not salted at all, nor saddled at all. None eye pitied thee, to do any of these unto thee, to have compassion upon thee; but thou wast cast out in the open field, to the lothing of thy person, in the day that thou wast born. And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live. I have caused thee to multiply as the bud of the field, and thou hast increased and waxen great, and thou are come to excellent ornaments: thy breasts are fashioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast naked and bare. Now when I passed by thee, and looked upon thee, behold, thy time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over thee, and covered thy nakedness: yea, I sware unto thee, and entered into a covenant with thee, saith the Lord God, and thou becamest mine. Then washed I thee with water; yea, I throughly washed away thy blood from thee, and I anointed thee with oil. ... 14) And thy renown went forth among the heathen for thy beauty; for it was perfect through my comliness, which I had put upon thee, saith the Lord God. But thou didst trust in thine own beauty, and playedst the harlot because of thy renown, and pouredst out thy fornications on every one that passsed by; his it was... vs. 60) Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with thee the days of thy youth, and I will establish unto thee an everlasting covenant. And I will establish my covenant with thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord; that thou mayest remember, and be confounded, and never open thy mouth any more because of thy shame, when I am pacified toward thee for all that thou hast done, saith the Lord God.

God's Mind Is On Zion!

On an unusual, consistent basis these days, I am receiving readings in scripture pertaining directly to Zion! Whenever something like this happens with me, I know that it's an indicator that something is 'up' - in the mind of God. What comes next, is a 'digging' or a leading to pursue further, in whatever direction He specifies.

So...

Zion: Hebrew - 'parched place 1) another name for Jerusalem especially in the prophetic books; title, waymark, sign 1) signpost, monument, market; (compare) Musician, set forward, overseers, excel, oversee, perpetual, chief singer 1) to excel, be bright, be preeminent, be perpetual, be overseer, be enduring 1a) enduring 1b) to act as overseer or superintendent or director or chief; dry, dry land, wilderness, drought, dry places, solitary place, barren 1) dryness, drought, desert; Sion or Zion = 'a parched place' 1) the hill on which the higher and more ancient part of Jerusalem was built 1a) the southwestern most and highest of the hills on which the city was built 2) often used of the entire city of Jerusalem 3) since Jerusalem the temple stood there, was called the dwelling place of God

Immediately reminded, of course, of Isaiah 35: 1 -10 - The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing; the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our God. Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not; behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you. then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing; for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. And the parched ground shall become a pool and the thirsty land springs of water; in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes. And a highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those; the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein. No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there; and the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Oh, so GOOD! And oh, so true!

Here are some of the particular scriptures being pointed out to me in my reading:

Psalm 133: 13 - For the Lord hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.

Psalm 134: 3 - The Lord that made heaven and earth bless thee out of Zion.

Psalm 135: 21 - Blessed be the Lord out of Zion, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the Lord.

Psalm 137: 1 - By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.

Psalm 146: 10 - The Lord shall reign for ever, even thy God, O Zion, unto all generations. Praise ye the Lord.

Psalm 147: 12 - Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion.

Psalm 149: 2 - Let Israel rejoice in him that made him; let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

This is the 60th celebration of Israel as a nation. Praise the Lord and let Him forever be praised in Zion!

Zion: (Dictionary 1948 New Century) - A hill or mount of Jerusalem, the center of ancient Hebrew worship; hence, the house or household of ancient Hebrew worship; hence, the house or household of God, as consisting of the chosen people; the Israelites; also, the theocracy, or church of God; the church in general; also, heaven as the final gathering-place of true believers; also, a church or shape of some Christian denominations.

Zionism: A modern plan or movement to colonize Hebrews in Palestine, the land of Zion; a movement to secure for such Jews as cannot or will not be assimilated in the country of their adoption a national homeland in Palestine.

Zionist: An advocate or adherent of Zionism. Of or pertaining to Zionists or Zionism.

Zionward: Toward Zion.

It's so energizing to read scripture and then to actually see the manifestation of it before your very eyes, in your own, present day! I love it! God is so GOOD and so TRUE. If we ever needed good and true, we need it today - don't you agree?

I'm so thankful that as I look around and see so much heartache, tragedy, and loss in the world today, I can still count on the stedfast love, care, and provision of the Lord. So many situations exist today, for His hand to move in. And there are so many opportunities for us, as His followers, to be His hand extended to those in needy situations. What a day and an hour that presents itself to us.

I was just reading Billye Brimm's current newsletter, this morning. As a matter of fact, I haven't even had the chance to finish it, yet. I love hearing her information regarding Israel; firsthand. She has such a real part in everything going on there and I know that we can all trust her insights and reports. God bless you Billye for your obedience to the Lord. Thank you for your many years of faithful ministry to the Body of Christ in the earth and to all those that the Lord leads you to!

Isn't it wonderful to be able to look at Israel and see the hand of God? Isn't it a 'nail of security' for us, as we see Him faithfully fulfilling His Words to Israel? We know by these things, that His entire Word, is just as trustworthy. Everything that He says in His Word - can be counted on to be brought to pass! Oh, how powerful a thing for our lives, in HIM!

Prayer:

God, strengthen Israel today. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We pray for all leaders of all nations, today. We pray for the relationship between Israel and the United States. We pray for all Christian leaders in the earth today. Lord, have Your way! Strengthen your Kingdom in the earth, in this year. Bring the increase to Your kingdom, here, in the earth, in the way that You spoke to me of at the beginning of the year - 2008. Give us intricate roles by which to create such an increase. Appoint unto each one, an integral part this year, as we truly seek Your face for it and sell out our lives unto it! Bless the work of your laborers hands, in this day! Let protection be around about each one and give them 'witty inventions'; strategies to prevail against their enemies in this day! Prevail - is Your Word - for this hour!

Psalm 119: 97 - 106 - O how I love thy law! It is my meditation all the day. Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me. I have more understanding than all my teachers, for thy testimonies are my meditation. I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts. I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word. I have not departed from thy judgments; for thou hast taught me. How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth! Through thy precepts I get understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. I have sworn, and I will perform it, that I will keep thy righteous judgments.

Attention!

Be sure to read prophecy dated April 27th! (New word for Body of Christ in the earth today!)

Already hearing reports that concretely confirm the validity of this 'Word'! Reports of 'new anointing' taking place amongst God's laborers - people who have never before experienced the ministry of healing and deliverance flowing through them, unto others. People being healed, blind eyes opening, people out of wheelchairs! Two reports (brought to me) already!

Take courage - Body of Christ! It is the set time for the Church to be 'favored' in the earth! Glorify Him through your bodies:

Romans 12: 1 - I beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service...

1 Corinthians 6: 20 - For ye are bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your Body, and in your spirit, which are God's.

May 5, 2008 - Early Morning Reading - Connects With Yesterday

Psalm 102: 13-22 - Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Zion; for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour the dust thereof. So the heathen shall fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy glory. When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory.

He will regard the prayer of the destitute, and not despise their prayer. This shall be written for the generation to come; and the people which shall be created shalt praise the Lord. For He hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from heaven did the Lord behold the earth; to hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death; to declare the name of the Lord in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem; when the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve the Lord.

I am the God of Israel.
Jehovah Jirah.
I am the strength of Zion!

You are the God of Israel! King Jesus! Mighty in Battle! You will lift up a standard! You will 'stay' her enemies. Wave offerings (flags waving) of peace (surrender) to God; not wave offerings (flags waving) of peace (surrender) to the enemies! Surround her on the right. Surround her on the left. Surround her all around with walls of flaming fire! Let the joy of the Lord be your strength. Let the joy of the Lord prevail. Let your walls be Joy! Let joy hold you in on all sides. Let joy protect you. Let joy seal your mind. Let joy lift you - put you above - deliver you out. Joy will 'whisk' you away from defeat! You will move with Me there - in that place - JOY! You will hear, you will know, you will see - there in that place of - purposed JOY. Stake yourself there in that place - in JOY- with ME! Stay yourself THERE! Continue THERE! Remain. Abide. IN JOY! Let the strength of the Lord be in you - ZION!

(The Lord awakened me at 2: 30 a.m. and led me into intercession. This is what came forth at that time. The instructions that came with the message were: This is for Israel but for every born again believer in Christ Jesus, as well, at this time.)

April 27, 2008 - New Vision For Body of Christ NOW:

The Holy Spirit arrested us this morning. We were overcome in a way that we haven't been in some time. This is what the Lord spoke to us at this powerful time: (He gave vision of all of this, as He was speaking it prophetically).

• New anointing for the Body of Christ.

• This new anointing will be for the works of Jesus - in the earth.

• This anointing will begin to flow from His peoples hands, in a way never before seen by His church! (Through many born again believers - not just specialized ministry persons).

• This anointing is for the 'world' - LOST!

• A 'new call' for the HARVEST!

• I saw an enormous mass of people and a call was heard by all in the crowd. People came running to answer 'the call'.

• The Lord said, "Come now for this new call! Come now! Respond now!"

• He said that they must come out from amongst them, in order to answer this call. There will be a 'new coming out' of a people, who will answer this CALL. They must come out from amongst 'the old' and dedicate themselves unto the NEW VISION.

• There was a swift calling for labourers to come forth, with all of their gifts, talents, resources - ALL! Use it ALL and don't spare, don't hold back anything from the 'aid' of the harvest!

• The Lord specifically stressed, that it is a time for ALL of His people to unite in the knowledge that this call, is for the HARVEST. He said that all of His body should be 'thus minded'. This is the mandate of the hour - the new vision - and everyone who is wise, will run to join themselves to this call; without reservation or hesitation!

• The Lord said to put forth every strength, every energy, apply every tool to the promotion of the Gospel in the earth today - AND - to reaching out with that new anointing, with those gifts, talents and resources - WITH GREAT JOY - TODAY! This call was filled with the JOY OF THE LORD! THERE WAS GREAT EXCITEMENT, ENERGY AND ANTICIPATION IN THIS CALLING!

• The Lord showed me all of todays' most popular 'tennis shoes'. He said, "The most popular footwear to come on the scene now, will be the shodding of the preparation of the gospel of peace!" Then I saw an electricity of heaven come into the feet of many peoples! They were jumping, dancing, rejoicing, shouting praises; EXTREME WORSHIP AND REJOICING! The the Lord said that HEAVEN IS LEAPING WITH JOY RIGHT NOW! HEAVEN IS ECSTATIC WITH THE HARVEST AND WITH WHAT IS COMING!

• There was a prayer covering - a promised victory - for the labourers in the fields! The Lord Himself, interceded for the 'eyes of the workers' - to be opened in a new way - to see the angels at hand - to minister to the saints of God and to see exactly where the enemies are - to be alerted beforehand (just a Nehemiah) to be delivered from every evil plot set up against such ones, as would be instrumental, in bringing forth this massive victorious in-gathering!

• We will be seeing the 'arm of the Lord' revealed in a new, powerful and exciting way, in not so many days to come. God wants us working with Him - filled to the full with the knowledge of Him - full of faith - full of power - full of anointing - and full of His outpouring of JOY, unspeakable and full of GLORY!

And I believe (through revelation in scripture over the past two months) that we will begin to see places of worship, experience the literal Glory Clouds, descending down in gatherings - the visible clouds of GLORY - as we will to believe and obey the words that He has now given.


I tell you, I am elated!


Please share this word with friends, family and ministerial associations. Be watching for the fulfillment. Choose whether or not you will believe the words and then act accordingly. See if you don't receive, like others have already! God says that you will, according to His Holy Word!

April 28, 2008 - Rhema Word - Again - Body of Christ - Second Scripture of this Nature:

Isaiah 43: 22 – 28 - But thou hast not called upon me, O Jacob, but thou hast been weary of me, O Israel. Thou hast not brought me the small cattle of thy burnt offerings; neither hast thou honoured me with thy sacrifices. I have not caused thee to serve with an offering, nor wearied thee with incense. Thou hast brought me no sweet cane with money, neither hast thou filled me with the fat of thy sacrifices, but thou hast made me to serve with thy sins, thou hast wearied me with thine iniquities. I, even I, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake; and will not remember thy sins. Put me in remembrance, let us plead together, declare thou, that thou mayest be justified. Thy first father hath sinned, and thy teachers have transgressed against me. Therefore I have profaned the princes of the sanctuary, and have given Jacob to the curse and Israel to reproaches.

Isaiah 44: 1 - 8 -Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen; thus saith the Lord that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen. For I will pour water upon him that is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground; I will pour my spirit upon thy seed, and my blessing upon thine offspring; and they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the water courses. One shall say, I am the Lord's; and another shall subscribe with his hand unto the Lord, and surname himself by the name of Israel. Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God. And who, as I, shall declare it, and set it in order, for me, since I appointed the ancient people? and the things that are coming, and shall come, let them shew unto them. Fear ye not, neither be afraid; have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. Is there a God beside me? yea, there is no God; I know not any.

April 17, 2008 - Rhema Word to the Body of Christ:

Luke 7: 44 – 46 - And he turned to the woman, and said unto Simon, Seest thou this woman? I entered into thine house, thou gavest me no water for my feet; but she hath washed my feet with tears, and wiped them with the hairs of her head. Thou gavest me no kiss; but this woman since the time I came in hath not ceased to kiss my feet. My head with oil thou didst not anoint; but this woman hath anointed my feet with ointment.
