Love When This Happens

In my last post, I shared that the Lord had directed me to prophesy that 'we need to be REJOICING, right now'.

I love it when this happens:

I went to lunch with my husband, just a few hours after I'd written that last post. We hadn't had a chance to speak to each other yet, that day. The first thing that came forth from his mouth, as we sat down in the restaurant, was, "Well, I heard the Lord speak to me this morning - we need to be REJOICING!" I just laughed. Isn't it awesome, the way that His Spirit works. As long as I walk with Him, I will never take those 'happenings' for granted! These are the works of God that come to destroy the works of Satan in our lives! I am so grateful, every day, for the working of God in my life. (I know that there are many people who don't walk this way and they have no understanding of this sort of life. Oh, how my heart aches, with an aching from the Holy Spirit, over those who do not 'know'.)

1 Corinthians 2: 14 - But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness unto him; neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he that is spiritual judgeth all things. yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.

1 John 3: 8 - ...For this purpose the Son of God was manifested; that he might destroy the works of the devil.

(I don't share anything, unless I absolutely know that it's something that the Lord is revealing to me, something that would be a spiritual benefit to someone(s). I know from my history with the Lord, that when I do speak what He tells me, it is the truth and it will benefit those who hear and obey it's directive - experience has proven that over these many years. Therefore, I confidently share, in hopes that someone will hear and receive! These are no 'small' words. These are words that will produce powerful results, if believed and acted upon. I don't take speaking words, lightly!)

I pray today, that you are one, walking after the Spirit of God, and that you will be a beneficiary of this 'word'.

Join me today as I press, even in the midst of stress, to obey the word of the Lord.

Let us REJOICE - all together! And see what the Lord will do!

Rejoice Always!

This morning I heard the Lord encouraging me to look up the word: REJOICE!

How many times is it found in the Bible? 184

What are the Hebrew and Greek definitions?

Rejoice: be glad, joy, hail, greeting, God speed, joyfully, rejoice exceedingly, to be well, thrive. Rejoice (arrogantly); exult (at); to rejoice (religiously); to cause to rejoice, gladden, make glad; merry, triumph, joyful; delight; tremble; showing joy; merryhearted; you who rejoice. Sing aloud, shout, shout for joy, sing for joy; cry out; shout aloud; to overcome; give a ringing cry; to give a ringing cry (in joy, exultation, praise); to cause to ring or sing out (for joy). To be well off, fare well, prosper; acting well; well; well done; good! To rein in or curb; understanding; the midriff or diaphragm, the parts of the heart; the mind; the faculty of perceiving and judging. Leap, spring up, gush up, of water.

1 Peter 1: 8 - Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory.

Revelation 12: 12 - Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

Revelation 19: 7 - Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

Rejoice in the Lord with me today! Let us, in the midst of trying circumstances, offer the sacrifices of Praise and Rejoicing unto Him! He is a GOOD God who has promised to deliver us and to keep us who have placed our trust in Him. No matter what the circumstances, He is greater!

Oh my soul, hope thou in God today! He is our Deliverer! So REJOICE!

Prayer:

Father, You said in your Word that we are to rejoice with those who rejoice and to weep with those who weep. We know that there are many today, weeping. There are many afflicted and in straits that we ourselves, are not in. Father, help! Send the necessary help to deliver! Help us to know our part in helping. If prayer, then prayer. If in doing, then doing. Let us not be slack to hear and to obey You, in whatever you would say to us, as our part. Lord God, you can make a way, where there seems to be no way. Be the way-maker today, in people's lives and in their particular situations. Be the healer of every manner of brokenness presenting itself. May those in need, find You and Your answers to be very present. We rebuke the devourer and his destructive devices. We speak forth the life of Jesus, to come and take up residence; to Redeem! Thank you Father. In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.

Be Blessed Today!

Tuesday - June 10, 2008

New and additional insight regarding vision from June 8, 2008:

This morning I saw in the Holy Spirit: The U.S. borders will be protected not only by it's own security forces (arms), but also by it's attention paid and support given to, the safety and keeping of Israel's borders.

Our weapons often only appear to the natural eye. However, all of the current events are working on a much grander scale than that of politics. The flares flying in the air these days,are ones stronger, mightier and weightier than any in the 'natural' - these are forces of light and darkness - opposing each other,vehemently!.

There is One who knows and sees it ALL, and who is willing able, and looking for ones to reveal the "secrets" to.

One of the gifts and callings, most beneficial to this day, I believe, will be that of the "prophet". Next, the "intercessor". The next will be that of the "hearer and the doer"of the Word spoken. And oh, the necessity for the "evangelists" - to publish that word! And not evangelists in just the professional capacity, but every follower of Christ, boldly declaring the things spoken by the Holy Spirit for the days at hand.

In the writing of, and in the course of endeavoring to publish the book: Manifesto - Before The Cock Crows, I heard the Lord say to me,'This is a day permitting and even requiring, and approved by God, for "protocol" to be broken; in much the same way as was the day that Jesus began His ministry (the Father's) in the earth!

I have learned that it is difficult, even with internet, to get a "timely word" released, in a way that will reach people of intercession on time. Intercession can change things!I I believe that September 11, 2001, could have been prevented by the prophetic voices reaching the intercessors. I have known of many of these events, just like this, beforehand (by the Holy Spirit)! It takes a "locking of strong prayers" sometimes, to come against and to prevail over the enemies! This was the main message in the book: God wants Israel, meaning PREVAIL in the Hebrew, to do just that; PREVAIL! That includes Israel and all believers!

To believe in the prophetic voice, in these days, will be our way of escape. Not only will the written Word of God stand, as resolute and trustworthy as always (even more so now), but the spoken "prophetic" of the five-fold "present day church," will have the power to deliver in this day and hour.

Again:

2 Chronicles 20: 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 the Lord your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall he prosper.

Ephesians 4: 11, 12 - And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of he saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ;

In the year 1998, the Lord spoke to me and said, "Get your heads up out of the sand! Look up! I am getting ready to hook you up! There is a mighty coming forth of the "prophetic voice'"in the earth - to unite the Body of Christ - as one. Hear that voice! I will begin to hook up leaders in the church, by the like prophetic utterances. They will hear and know that it is my Spirit speaking. They will be drawn together through the single voice of My Spirit. Listen carefully for it! I will begin to direct the church by this "distinctive voice". (Excerpt from Manifesto - Before The Cock Crows. And I must quit there, because my "fire" will want to go on, and quote the entire content [prophetic] of the book.)

I so urge people, today, to listen to the voice of the prophets in the land! Test them, of course, by their fruits. What does that mean? Test their words spoken! Read Jeremiah 23: 9 - 32, - for God's instructions for the prophetic. The "proof of the authentic," is the outcome of the word spoken! Did that "word" come to pass or not?

In conclusion for today:

Prayer:

Father, open the ears of the hearers. Open our hearts to believe and to receive. May we allow the Holy Spirit sway over our inner man. Have free course over the highway in our mind. Speak your words to us in this day. Sharpen our discernment - both to hear you - and then to be able to move in the directions that you would set forth before us! Make us profitable to your Kingdom,in these days! Bless us, as we set outrhands to Your work! In Jesus' precious and powerful Name. Amen!

Share Prayer!

I held off sharing this vision, initially, but now sense the release to go ahead:

Friday A.M. (June 6, 2008):

I wanted to share an experience that I had early this morning:

The Lord awakened me out of a sleep and impressed me to be in the floor on my knees for prayer. The moment I touched the floor, I was transported by the Holy Spirit. I was standing within the draping of the gown - of the raised arm - of the Statue of Liberty. I looked at the draping and then the torch lifted high. The scene then changed to a hand gun. I saw a man's arm, with forearm held in a horizontal position. As I looked, he flexed to show his muscles. There on his upper arm were two very large mounds of muscle. I then heard these words: "Arms being smuggled in and our arms being smuggled out! Pray for the borders of the nation! You must double up on the strength of your prayers, for a doubling up, and a strengthening in protection for the security of your borders; thus the double muscle!" Then I heard these words, "Maybe President Clinton could come and help!"

Later this morning, as I was sharing this vision with an intercessory prayer leader, and as we began to pray together I saw this: A long "balloon curtain" being lowered; then a headboard of a bed. The scalloped edging of the balloon curtain was downward. The headboard was the same shape, with only one scallop, and of course on a much larger scale, with one post on either side of the center. The prayer partner thought that this may have had something to do with the Prime Minister of Israel and the Presidential elections in the U.S. taking place simultaneously.

The prayer partner recommended this web site (which I was not familiar with): arutzshavah.org. I logged onto the "blog" section of that page and the first video that came up (select: Tamar Yonah Show) - totally surprised me (I'm not deeply versed in the political arena) - as I watched and saw President Clinton standing, arms around, and between Israeli officials; as they were signing documents in this video. The title of the video: "No Katyusha's"! I'm not sure that the video has anything to do with what I saw this morning...I only share for prayer, as I have seen far too many highly significant warnings such as these (given me in the past), come to pass. At the time of those visions, I did not have anyone to join me in prayer. I am seeking for that now.

To those of you, serious intercessors, please take this one before the "throne" with you; please!God Bless and direct our prayers!


Romans 8: 26 - Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not
what we should pray for as we ought; but the Spirit itself maketh intercession
for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

John 16: 13 - Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth is come, he will guide you into
all truth; for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that
shall he speak; and he will shew you things to come.

(Note: For some odd reason, I cannot get this particular blog post to obey my commands. Therefore, the reason for the 'scanty' order of things, here! I'll keep working at it. Until then ... know that it's one of the most important posts here!)

Still receiving for Zion!

A continual, steady flow from the Word of God, is bringing my attention to Zion!

Isaiah 8: 12 - 22 - Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. And he shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be snared, and be taken. Bind up the testimony, seal the law among my disciples. And I will wait upon the Lord, that hideth his face from he house of Jacob, and I will look for him. Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, which dwelleth in mount Zion. And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? For the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony; if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry; and it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward. And they shall look unto the earth; and behold trouble and darkness, dimness of anguish; and they shall be driven to darkness.

(I believe these scriptures to be depictive of things that are effecting our nation at this hour!)

Isaiah 9: (entire chapter) - vs. 1,2 - Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations. The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined...vs. 5 - 8 - For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire. For unto us a child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. The Lord sent a word into Jacob, and it hath lighted upon Israel...vs. 13 - 21 - For the people turneth not unto him that smiteth them, neither do they seek the Lord of hosts. Therefore the Lord will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and rush, in one day. The ancient and honourable, he is the head; and the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. For the leaders of this people cause them to err; and they that are led of them are destroyed. therefore the Lord shall have no joy in their young men , neither shall have mercy on their fatherless and widows; for every one is an hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaketh folly. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still, for wickedness burneth as the fire; it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall mount up like the lifting up of smoke. Through the wrath of the Lord of hosts is the land darkened, and the people shall be as the fuel of the fire; no man shall spare his brother. And he shall snatch on the right hand, and be hungry; and he shall eat on the left hand, and they shall not be satisfied; they shall eat every man the flesh of his own arm; Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together shall be against Judah. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

(Again, what applies to Israel, applies to the entire world, all peoples, tongues and tribes, no matter the gender, either - young and old alike. Proverbs 14: 12 - There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.)

Isaiah 10: 1 - Woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed; to turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may rob the fatherless. And what will ye do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? to whom will ye leave your glory? Without me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

(The unjust balance in our nations' court system, presently, is dangerously aligning itself with the context of these scriptures! I believe these verses, to actually be a WARNING to the Courts of the United States of America! God has known for a very long time, that this day was coming! He revealed it to me in the year 2004. I know exactly what He said concerning this matter and I know His judgment towards it all! I saw it exposed before my very eyes by revelation of the Holy Spirit of God!)

Isaiah 10: 12 - Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks...vs. 20 - 27 - And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob, shall no more again stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon thee Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth. The remnant shall return, even the remnant of Jacob, unto the mighty God. For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return; the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness. For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption, even determined, in the midst of all the land. Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian; he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. For yet a very little while, and the indignation shall cease, and mine anger in their destruction. And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; and his rod was upon the sea, so shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

(I'm not yet sure, as to the full application of these scriptures upon this day, but I do know that the Holy Spirit is pressing me with 'Zion, smiting, our love for Him and a turning back to Him'.)

• Of course, our eyes are on the nation of Israel and all that is happening for her. We must keep our prayers as a shield, garrison, guard and protection over her, as her enemies are many and are ruthless; and mercilessly taunting her!
  

• I know that God knows the end from the beginning, that He sees it all and knows what's coming before it comes. He knows the choices that we will make before we make them and He knows the outcome. He also has a plan that He is ready to implement on our behalf, if we will stop and heed His voice.

• Today, there are so many crucial circumstances, on so many crucial levels, all taking place simultaneously; all weaving their webs and all creating 'new and unfamiliar' circumstances for us to deal with. I prophesied (ten years ago - live on tape) that there would be things coming upon the earth soon, that would require of us a brand new knowledge, with which to prevail. I am seeing the very fulfillment of that prophecy, right now, in this day that we are in.

• 'Be Sure In Knowing - The Winds Are Blowing'! This is a title in my book. Do you believe it? I do!

The Lord awakened me with this scripture this morning, early:

1 Timothy 2: 1 - 4 - I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; for kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

I think that sums up the interpretation of all of the above scriptures and their bearing upon our world's present condition. Pray! Pray! Pray! For ALL NATIONS - PRAY! DILIGENTLY!
