2 CHRONICLES 20:22 – PRAISE A WEAPON

“The moment they began their shouts and praises, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir who had come against Judah, and they were defeated.” (2 Chronicles 20:22, BSB)

I am bubbling over in excitement at the prospects of my enemies of destiny being smitten and sent packing. This is the Lord’s doing and it is profoundly humbling to behold in the spirit. In this change season it will become the reality, as the Year of Sabbatical Release unfolds to give restoration and rest to the people who have waited patiently on the Lord for His well-timed deliverance. We have been earmarked for this season of a New Order. The glory belongs to the Lord.

Discerning In The Spirit

It was a season of loss in the early years of my life change that would bring me to this junction of faith. There are some levels of prophetic calls that will undoubtedly bring personal loss of possessions and life relationships because the restoration period will reveal the power of God to bring all things to a godly conclusion. In the case of Job, his friends surmised that he had sinned why he should be met with such levels of loss and suffering. To the contrary. It takes a pure heart to spiritually discern when God is doing a mighty work for His glory. A carnal understanding that the enemy desires, brings such discord and virtually irreparable relationships along the way. I announce to the Body of Christ that this next season will be a departure from what we have known, Hold loosely to everything except God’s Word. We are in for some humbling surprises as change takes place around what we have been comfortable with. Decisions will have to be made as to where the Spirit is leading. These will be personal soul searching times because Jesus wants His beloved people to have an intimate relationship with Him, independent of organisational reliance. What is coming to our world will test the people of God on personal isolating levels that requires drawing on the intimacy of our relationship in Jesus in ways we have not known in past times..

Spiritual Integrity Under Testing

God allows inevitable life changes and sufferings to bring his servants to a place where they are pliable as softened clay in His hands. In our brokenness, subdued and willing we submit to the disciplines of the Spirit. In that state of surrender to God’s leading we are rendered compliant and serviceable for the call of God. What He will do through willing vessels will be remarkably extraordinary. Testings for prophetic levels of service brings with it the deepest brokenness imaginable,. For this global strategic call it is also intended to show the watching world God’s power to bring reverential fear in the hearts of mankind.

This was a word given to me in 2013 at one of the lowest ebbs of my prophetic training, “He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun” (Psalms 37:6, BSB). I am about to see that word come to pass before the watching world. We are definitely in the season of God showing up in a visibly profound way in the affairs of the unsuspecting warring nations. The same God who brought fear and terror to the watching nations in the time of Israel’s departure from Egypt after 430 years in bondage, is the same God today. His word to me in 2015 of an ‘out of Egypt deliverance’ is still active as I am about to pass through another level of deliverance, reminiscent of God’s people leaving Egypt’s bondage. What the Pharaohic spirit has fiercely held onto that belongs to God’s people will be released in this moment. The nations will know that God has roused Himself from His holy place to demonstrate His mighty delivering outstretched arm.

Be assured, when one goes through levels of loss and life changes running parallel with the challenges of a spiritual journey, particularly a prophetic healing call to destiny, it is because God will undoubtedly get the glory. God will only come through when the situation is complex, misunderstood by the people and irredeemable but for His mighty act. It is also intended to test the spiritual integrity of that servant given the prophetic word. Spiritual integrity is being able to remain consistent under variable life challenges. You remain the same person who is steadfast and trusting in God under intense pressing and unfavourable conditions. Job was tested for his integrity, “Then Job’s wife said to him, “Do you still retain your integrity? Curse God and die!” (Job 2:9, BSB). He proceeded to rebuke her as speaking out of place as one of the foolish women. To remain steadfast, believing in what the Spirit reveals to you regardless of counter attacks and to follow the leading of the Spirit by faith counts as spiritual integrity. Your stance will no doubt attract the enemy of destiny but like Nehemiah you cannot come down from doing the work as led of the Spirit. “So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work and cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it to go down to you?” (Nehemiah 6:3, BSB). One must keep pressing in because a faithful God will not permit your enemies to have the upper hand. The time comes when the table turns and your vindication will undoubtedly be of God as He rewrite your story.

2 Chronicles 20:22 – Praise A Weapon

I was given this Spirit-thought today, the 15th day of February 2022. I was meditating over the next move of God to bring His promised restoration to my life after the seasons of the destroying agents. “The LORD says, “I will give you back what you lost to the swarming locusts, the hopping locusts, the stripping locusts, and the cutting locusts. It was I who sent this great destroying army against you. (26) Once again you will have all the food you want, and you will praise the LORD your God, who does these miracles for you. Never again will my people be disgraced. (Joel 2:25-26, NLT). A faithful loving Father always brings an end to suffering in the fullness of time.

As I continued in prayer I was immediately drawn to 2 Chronicles 20:22. The chapter was given to me in the early years of my spiritual journey. I had continued to pour over its verses in the intervening years. Yet it was only today that verse (22) churned in my spirit in a way I have not previously known. It was yet again a prophetic aligning taking place to bring my long awaited restoration to completion in this moment of the 7th Sabbatical Year. My spirit was being fed that the contents of my book ‘’A Bloody Scene” was about to come to past. 2 Chronicles 20 was one of the scriptures that formed the basis of its contents, and it is primarily about praise and worship as a figurative weapon of the spiritual battle..

“The moment they began their shouts and praises, the LORD set ambushes against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir who had come against Judah, and they were defeated.” (2 Chronicles 20:22, BSB). In this season I have been given a higher and unique level of praise to use as a weapon against my enemies. It was praise that elicited the blessings for Judea as the enemies of God’s people turned on each other. As the people of God began to sing praises they procured the victory.

The battle one goes through in the Baca Valley, a place of weeping is to overcome the enemy. The struggles may brings tears and reproach but the ardent worshippers, illustrated in Psalms 84, wept profusely on their way to Jerusalem, longing to take hold of the Ram’s horn at the altar in the temple. The Ram’s horn, a representation of Jesus, denotes strength. Here in 2 chronicles 20, King Jehoshaphat with all Judea and Israel supplicated in fasting and prayer. The Spirit then rushed upon Jahaziel and he prophesied. *15) And he said, “Listen, all you people of Judah and Jerusalem! Listen, King Jehoshaphat! This is what the LORD says: ‘Do not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast army, for the battle does not belong to you, but to God. (16) Tomorrow you are to march down against them. You will see them coming up the Ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the valley facing the Wilderness of Jeruel. (17) You need not fight this battle. Take up your positions, stand firm, and see the salvation of the LORD on your behalf, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not be afraid or discouraged. Go out and face them tomorrow, for the LORD is with you.’” (v 15-17). King Jehoshaphat and Judea could only behold the bloody scene of a fierce battle. It was a mighty display of God’s power, as the three armies lay scattered across the slopes on the Ascent of Ziz.

As they made their way to the Beracah Valley the victory was elicited by lifting up the Name of the Lord. His lovingkindness towards His people endures forever. The enemies of Judea were devoted to destruction because of betrayal amongst themselves. Effortlessly the people gathered the spoils from the battle over three days. With rejoicing and praise they made their way to Jerusalem to the temple to give thanks to a faithful God.

EARTH WATCH: STIRRING OF THE RELEASING MANTLE IN THE NATIONS

“Hush, all flesh, because of YHWH, For He has been roused up from His holy habitation!”” (Zechariah 2:13, LSV)

The time has come for the alignment of the word given to me in the winter of 2012 to gain traction in the nations.. Since that word, the intervening years have brought aligning and re-aligning as the word brought me through the spiritual journey necessary for it to be birthed. In this 7th Sabbatical Year of Release )2022), the time draws near to its fulfilment. The forceful 7-Fold Releasing mantle of our Lord, designated for this end time, will bring about the fearful realisation of that strategic revelation. Over the ensuing ten years of testing and training by the Lord, I have been at the receiving end of fearful faith experiences that have brought me to desperately low places. With single-mindedness I have continued in quiet confidence to follow the leading of the Spirit to face the challenges in different entities of life. The mantle has continued to move through different entities of life on personal, social, organisational and global denominational-wide levels. There has been the deconstructing of an Old Order to make way for a New Order of strategic significance. I have remained resolute as the mantle has barrelled through every demonic obstacle and resistance as I have been brought to experiential challenges across business and other sector-wide entities. I am now seeing the alignment to the revelation, “I want you to establish it in a conference in the place of the 7-fold churches”, coming to a visible global platform. The velocity of the mantle is powerful to shift, disturb and turn over strategic global entities.

This weighty robed vesture of authority I am endowed with is now moving in earnest, swirling and stirring the spiritual atmospheres over the nations. The nations are in turmoil as the actively forceful presence of this prophetic remit comes to the intended strategic positioning in the nations. The current season’s stirring of war-of-words between world leaders is a demonic move. The enemy is about bringing fear, terror and death in the nations. A global war would be the ideal solution to the enemy’s plotting to grab the limelight before the imminent releasing of the Spirit of healing and restoration, that the world so desperately yearns for. This detraction is an affront to take the glory due to our dear Lord. God’s plans for His people in the nations is provoking the enemy’s response to bring about this unfolding chaos. The heated ramping up of diplomacy and military muscle-expanding narrative of world leaders, stirred according to the passions of their hearts is no surprise. Before any great move of God the spiritual realm kicks up. The enemy tries to divert the attention towards his agenda ,with Russian and the Ukraine engaged in locking arms in a combative standoff as they size each other up. I am confident it will blow over in this season as the oxygen of war narratives is sucked out of the fiery exchanges.

Unequivocally, I am announcing that by virtue of this Season’s 7th Sabbatical Releasing mantle, any heat in the narrative and diplomacy will fizzle out. The rush of the Spirit of a New Pentecost will be the spiritual oxygen to enflame the world with another narrative. The chatter in the nations will be about the new spiritual wine being poured out to bring about the glory due to our Lord at this time. No war chatter or event orchestrated of evil in the earth can take the glory in this Season.

Prayer:

In the Sovereign Name of our Lord Jesus, according to Matthew 6:10, we command that Your eternal Kingdom of righteousness and peace rush upon us and come now into the hearts of humankind, Let your potent word be settled in receptive hearts as Your will is done on this troubled globe as it is in heaven.

Dear Lord we come in global agreement that all authority and power belongs to You. In this world and in the world to come You reign Supreme. All eternal powers, in every realm has been conferred upon you by YHWH Eternal One. YHWH M’Kaddesh, Holy One we honour You who rules and have dominion in the hearts of sinful men. Show Your authority over the evil of the age. We call forth YHWH Saboath, the Host of Heaven to show up mightily on behalf of the people because the battle is not man’s. For our fight is not with flesh and blood but with a linear force of evil. “For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.” (Ephesians 6:12, NLT)

In the authority of your Word according to Psalms 103:20, we bless You oh LORD. Let your angelic host be despatched to the four corner of this globe to stem the tide of evil, They are mighty in strength to deliver the nations from the grip of evil and to carry out Your all consuming Word according to Your commandments. Collectively as a force for good in the world, we your people now as one voice shutdown the spirit of evil chatter and lies for war,. Whatever evil design has been set up to usurp the next move of God for mankind’s healing and restoration to the things of God. is blocked and destroyed

Thank you Lord for hearing our prayers this day and in lowly submission we wait humbly at your feet for your divine intervention. AMEN

THE RISING AND FALLING OF MANY

(30) “For my eyes have seen Your salvation, (31) which You have prepared in the sight of all people, (32) a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to Your people Israel.” (34) Then Simeon blessed them and said to His mother Mary: “Behold, this Child is appointed to cause the rise and fall of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be spoken against, (35) so that the thoughts of many hearts will be revealed—and a sword will pierce your soul as well” (Luke 2:30-32, 34-35)

“He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.” (Psalms 37:6, BSB)

The Global Ekklesia

It was in the 2015 Sabbatical Year of Release (Shmita) that I was Spirit-instructed to ‘write’. As I obeyed and commenced oracling what my spirit was being fed, I received in my spirit that a New Order was coming. At that time I perceived that it was only to the global Church. Further, prophetic insights along my journey has revealed the phenomenal occurrences to take place in our world.. At this time, I can confidently say that it is an end-time move to accommodate God’s purposes regarding His Elect Church and the readying of His global Elect Bride for the Rapture.

By virtue of this prophetic releasing mantle, I announce without reservation that my rising in this new season will precipitate the falling of many. The spiritual landscape will be bloodied with the fallen. However, I hasten to say that dry bones can live. Our merciful Father will permit the rush of His Spirit upon the fallen to breathe, enliven and give new life to the living dead. I prophesy concerning these bones and telll them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!” (Ezekiel 37:4). The Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead can quicken your hearts to new life. I now prophesy to the breath of life to come forth into the living dead.. “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and tell the breath that this is what the Lord God says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, so that they may live!” (10) … and the breath entered them, and they came to life and stood on their feet—a vast army.” (Ezekiel 37:9-19, BSB)

The Season of Change is Here

It could only be another spirit at work casting aspersion on our Lord as a common criminal. Fierce resisting spirits are behind any mighty move of God to bring souls out of spiritual captivity. It is no less so for the global marginalised people or groups who are alienated for putting their hope in Jesus as deliverer. To come into their rightful kingdom heritage it takes a tremendous fight to take back the spiritual territories that have been lost to the enemy. The Spirit of Ruach HaKodesh has moved forcibly over these territories to break the power of satanic forces intent on perverting the course of their justice. It is no less so for the Alevi community that God gave me the word for in the winter of 2012. “I want you to establish it in a conference in the place of the 7-fold churches”.

In the intervening years, I have met with the highest levels of demonic opposition imaginable. I have refused to back down in the face of demonic pressure and high level witchcraft to abort this assignment. God forbid that I should listen to the evil chatter and surmising of those who are not party to the amazing journey of faith that I have come. I am absolutely astounded at the level of protection, peace and joy I have encountered through the years, despite the challenges faced. I am in a new season now. I feel ecstatic and brimming over with excitement and expectation. This portion of scripture has kept me through the last two months, the darkest part of the night before the dawn. “Though He slay me yet will I trust in Him”. (Job 13:15, KJV). I can see the bright light of His glory at the end of the tunnel of faith. I am falling over in hysterics at what God has done for me and my family as I arise into the next phase of the journey.

Deconstructing of an Old Order

This prophetic season is like no other time. In this Sabbatical Year of Release and Favour we will see the mighty works of God’s righteousness, as the fall of Satan’s kingdom is witnessed. The righteous Kingdom will advance in the hearts of the people as we see many, not traditionally of the contemporary church scene, lifting up the Name of Jesus as they flow into the Kingdom. Many will have come to salvation, restoration and healing in this season. It will be profoundly glorious as we see the spiritual landscape of the global saints becoming an enviable attraction to the watching world. The rising of the end time Ekklesia of our Lord will be a sight to behold as every tribe, tongue and nation flow into the New Order of the end time Church, proclaiming Jesus as Lord of All

A deconstructing of the old to make way for the new is now taking place. God will not build this new spiritual entity upon the rubble of the old order. But out of the rubble will arise a new, distinguishable entity, characterised by the higher righteous works. Can new wine be poured into old bottles? I think not! The strength and potency of the new wine would burst the old bottles. To draw an allegory, the new wine of the Spirit in this New Pentecost season cannot be contained in the old self. There must be a levelling up of spiritual integrity, healing, consecration and restoration to the things of God. This is the season of preparation as we move towards the promised New Pentecost outpouring.

At the rising of the New Order for the Ekklesia of our Lord there will be a falling of many as everything shifts, totters and crumbles. The earth tremors of divine vindication and justice will be heard throughout the land as the spiritual landscape changes The fall out of debris will be as the violent emission of lava and ash from the molten belly of a volcano, spewing out from the earth’s crust. An eruption that will disturb and unsettle the normality of what life and the Body of Christ consisted of. The movers and shakers of the Kingdom are arising. The earth shaking eruption of the spiritual realm will ricochet across the entities of life. The epic movement at the base of the tectonic plates will shift at the appearing of these servants of God. Many, out of disobedience and rebellion will be falling away as their deeds are exposed. The mantle will shift to bring about spiritual atmospheric changes on levels we have not known. It is already at work since entering into the decade of ‘pey’ in (5780) 2020.

A law was set in Creation where we see the Spirit of Ruach HaKodesh stirring and hovering over the face of the deep. Over the history of mankind the Spirit has continued to move with force and purpose to accomplish God’s will in the earth. I encourage God’s people to begin to align to where the Spirit is moving. The prophetic end time agenda is of our Lord and it is serious. The rising of a New Order under the New Pentecost refreshing will be the falling of many who have remained in religion.

Lamenting for Souls

A degenerate society poured scorn on Noah as he obeyed to build the ark as specified by God. The Eternal One knows the end of a thing before its beginning. God gave the exact specifications of the ark’s capacity to Noah, knowing that only his family and the animals would enter the ark for safety and emerge having survived His judgement. Divine judgement devastate the land and the remnant of eight souls were saved for a new order.

The number eight is a new beginning after judgement. As I prepared this text, it was revealed to me that the ark was a type of rest. After 120 years preaching and building the ark, God gave a well deserved rest to Noah and his family as the storm continued to rage. There is a rest to the people of God when they have ceased from their work. The ark rested in the 7th month indicating the fulness of time when the floods abated. Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance (nuach) gives the meaning of Noah. However, from an unusual root word I also got ‘to lament’.or to ‘bewail’. This meaning resonated with my spirit as it is a fitting and earnest manifestation of a prophet to weep. They weep on levels that others do not experience. It is a Spirit-led groaning of utterances in the spirit for souls to come to salvation. “In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how we ought to pray, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groans too deep for words.” (Romans 6:26, BSB). I know because I have had the experiences of prolonged groaning and incessant weeping borne out of the burden for the call. This spirit move of compassion went on for many years, long before the call to destiny.. It is not solicited by one’s self but undeniably of the Spirit. When I was through with lamenting and weeping I always felt totally spent and cleaned out. No one can even begin to understand how such levels of intense groaning and labouring can come upon one, except of the Spirit to birth souls.

A Rush of The Spirit

I am now writing under an incredibly exhilarating rush of the Spirit. Forcibly and compellingly I impart with the urgency of the Spirit that which is given. We must move with divine understanding and inner conviction concerning where the Spirit is leading. It is fitting for the leadership to seek assurances of the Spirit to be at peace with what is divinely unfolding. The eternal mandate I am endowed with is undoubtedly of God and it is not my responsibility to convince anyone. I am required to release what my spirit receives from the Spirit of God and to impart with the seriousness what I am burdened with. I release today that I will not be continuing indefinitely to pour out from this platform as I have been doing. Time is of the essence and everything is time bound. I feel as though my role is changing and the call as an oracle will shift to accommodate the Persecuted Church in the nations. I give credit to the immensely challenging work that has already been undertaken by churches and charitable organisations to keep alive the faith in nations where christians are marginalised and prevented from serving our Lord as contemporary christians have come to know. What I am witnessing in the spiritual realm is the profoundly epic move of faith that will usher world christians into the emerging Elect Church. It will be the outpouring of a New Pentecost that will ignite the fire of faith that will move these groups into alignment of God’s will.

It was the timing of the last Sabbatical Year of 2015 that released the grace to write. I believe I am now nearing the end of that period of releasing on the Prophetic Blog all that God has required me to divulge from those early writings. The Blog will be the lesser contact point as I am urged to where the Spirit is leading. I have no doubt that oracling after Pentecost will be on a different level of authority and platform.

Finally, I am trying to convey with urgency the message that we have no more time. This strategic prophetic mantle is waiting on no man. I perceive that the Spirit-trajectory is towards the fulfilment of the Revelation given to me in the winter of 2012, “I want you to establish it in a conference in the place of the 7-fold churches”. The time is now for me to operate on that level of global recognition and prophetic authority.

GWENDOLYN SMITH. #NEWPENTECOST. 27th JANUARY 2022

VALLEY OF DRY BONES

“The hand of the LORD was upon me, and He brought me out by His Spirit and set me down in the middle of the valley, and it was full of bones. (2)They were scattered everywhere across the ground and were completely dried out. (3)hen He asked me, “Son of man, can these bones come to life?” “O Lord GOD,” I replied, “only You know.” (4) And He said to me, “Prophesy concerning these bones and tell them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!” (Isaiah 37:1-4, BSB)

Ezekiel was known as one of the major prophets of Israel, along with contemporaries such as Isaiah and Jeremiah. He was born into a priestly family in Jerusalem in c 623BC. Ezekiel was born during the reign of Josiah who was the king responsible for the tearing down of false images, high altars and structures of false gods. Josiah purposed in his heart to bring about a godly reform in the kingdom during the time when Hilkiah the priest found the lost book of the Law amongst the rubble of the second temple. In 597 BC, Israel under slavery to the Babylonian Empire in their own land, formed a rebellion against their captors. It was this event that led Babylon to remove the Israelites to Babylon under forced labour. Ezekiel, a young man was amongst the exiles taken to Babylon. At around 30 years of age it is thought that he received his prophetic call in Babylon.

A Vanquished Army

In a vision, Ezekiel is carried away to a valley by the Spirit of God and placed amongst a great many dry bones. It was the remains of a mighty army of fallen warriors. Their bones left scattered, sun-bleached and dried out under climatic exposure. It was no doubt an exceedingly moving scene, as the Lord brings context to reveal the spiritual state of Israel, His people. Ezekiel is asked if it is possible that the bones could be regenerated to life. He directs his response back to God acknowledging the Sovereign power and authority of our Lord as the Giver of Life. ‘You alone knows, Lord.’ What is in the dark belongs to God because He has the conclusion on the whole matter of life. In His summation, the final state of the bones of the House of Israel was not to be strewed across a figurative valley ground. God knows the intentions He has towards His people. “For this is what the LORD says: “When Babylon’s seventy years are complete, I will attend to you and confirm My promise to restore you to this place. (11) For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope.“ (Jeremiah 29:10-11, BSB).

In the eyes of a loving Father, the future state of a rebellious wayward nation is His eternal promise of restoration and healing. The vanquished army was reminiscent of the spiritual death of the people having been taken captive to foreign lands and exposed to idolatry. He commanded His servant Ezekiel to prophesy into the ruinous state of His people and by eyes of faith they would once again be restored back to His eternal will..

Prophesy To The Dry Bones

It would be the enlivening Spirit of God that would breathe the life sustaining breath into parched dislocated bones under the harsh variables of the elements. The Hebrew word ‘Yabesh’ (H30020 gives a meaning of ‘dried up’ ‘dry’, ‘withered.’ The scene presented in the vision to Ezekiel was one of utter decay and death as the bones of the warriors lay strewed across a great stretch of the valley floor. All substance of life goes out of the being leaving an emaciated shell of what was once vibrant, alive and promising. The spiritual significance of what God is conveying cannot be overstated. Israel was likened to dry bones or sometimes referenced as spiritual eunuchs. They were impotently dried out without strength in the Spirit.

‘Chet’, also known as Heth, Het’ is the 8th letter of the Hebrew Alphabet and gives us, ‘life’, ‘spirit of life.’. Chet has a numerical value of 8 that gives us ‘supernatural occurrence’ and the ’state of holiness’. If we break up the number 8 into the units 1 and 7, it can provide a deeper understanding of what I am trying to bring across.

Firstly, the number 1 denotes the Godhead. A presence of eternal Oneness exists in the Godhead. This union consists of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The number 8 is symbolic of Jesus our Sabbatical Rest in the Godhead and in Hebrew meaning is also a new beginning. In the passage of time Jesus established the New Covenant Order, it marked a new beginning of the eternal Sabbatical Rest through His plan of salvation to mankind. This being the beginning of the dispensation of grace by the law of the Spirit. It made obsolete the Old Mosaic Order of the written law of works. The number 7 is a number of completion, fullness and perfection. It is a sabbatical number symbolising ‘rest’ as in Creation, God completed His work to perfection and rested on the 7th day of Creation. “And by the seventh day God had finished the work He had been doing; so on that day He rested from all His work.” (Genesis 2:2, BSB)

The idea of ‘rest’ as a metaphor of Jesus is scriptural. In Creation we see God establishing an eternal order that would continue as a generational passing. “For in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth and the sea and all that is in them, but on the seventh day He rested. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and set it apart as holy.” (Exodus 20:11, BSB). The setting apart of the 7th day as holy unto God is a veiled reference to Jesus. The chosen people of Israel would in time become custodians of the written law that would come through God’s servant Moses on Mount Sinai.. Matthew 28:18 announces that all power has been conferred upon our Lord our eternal Rest “Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me”. Jesus is the Spirit of Prophecy and His mantle of authority and sovereign rule is powerful and forceful to change a dead situation back to life.

A Rush Of The Spirit

Prophecy is the revelation of God and the absolute authority of the Word to bring into being that which did not exist. His potent Word to give life is final, ‘Thou shalt live’. Jesus represented the new beginning of grace and just as the Father is the sustainer of life so Jesus is the Giver of Life. The same Spirit of Life that burst from the tomb is the same Spirit that Ezekiel is instructed to prophesy under. On the utterance of the word of faith the bones reassembled. Yet it would take the Spirit of Ruach Hakodesh to give new life. A violent exhalation or a rush of the Spirit took place as the Ruach winds moved over the wretch state of fallen warriors. The Release mantle will stir in the deepest places revealing the seat of Satan’s set up and the establishment of evil residency in the hidden chambers, crypts and corridors of life where souls are held captive.

The same power that raised Jesus from the dead is the same Spirit that can cause men to burst forth from the graves of life. The breath of Ruach Hakodesh will come from the four corners of the globe and rush upon the situations of life to give breath to that which is dead. “Then He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and tell the breath that this is what the Lord GOD says: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe into these slain, so that they may live!” (Ezekiel 37:8, BSB) As in Creation, the Wind of the Spirit in this Season of Release will forcibly move amongst the debris of life and stir up that which is dead. “…And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” (Genesis 1:2, KJV)

I prophesy healing under the 7-fold anointing to call forth all things from impotency to power and from a dead state to a living breathing being.

Releasing Others

“At the end of seven years each of you shall set free his Hebrew brother who has been sold to you and has served you six years, you shall send him out free from you; but your forefathers did not obey Me or incline their ear to Me.” (Jeremiah 34:14, )

When God looks on the state of His people today I believe He is seeing His global church as a littered landscape of dry carcass bones, A remnant of a mighty fallen army. In apostle John’s vision in Revelation 1, Jesus instructed him to write to the seven churches of Asia Minor to draw attention to the ancient spirits that could destroy these entities. That Word given to John would transcend time, being relevant and applicable to the global church community throughout the 7-fold Church Age. The seven sins, namely heresy, idolatry, apostasy, whoredom, unbelief, rebellion and hypocrisy are the perfect cohort of evil. The 7-fold sins of the Church would be the universal categories of foundational sins that could undermine the integrity of the Body of Christ. Like the desert church under Moses’ leadership, the Body of Christ today is plagued by the same ancient spirits of discordance, characterised by our human tendency to disobey God’s laws. Even under the New Covenant of grace we are inherent lawbreakers. “For the time will come when men will not tolerate sound doctrine, but with itching ears they will gather around themselves teachers to suit their own desires.” (2 Timothy 4:3, BSB). It is in order that we repent and confess our wretched, poor, spiritually sick, dying and dead states.

It is also in order that the spirit of love and forgiveness is exemplified amongst us. As the Spirit of Release brings about the higher works of grace let us be obedient to forgive others as God requires of His people. “Beware that there is no base thought in your heart, saying, ‘The seventh year, the year of remission, is near,’ and your eye is hostile toward your poor brother, and you give him nothing; then he may cry to the Lord against you, and it will be a sin in you.” (Jeremiah 15:9, )

“And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.” (Romans 8:11, BSB)

GWENDOLYN SMITH. #NEWPENTECOST. 17th SEPTEMBER 2020

CRYPTS OF RESIDENT SPIRITS

“What are you doing here, and who authorised you to carve out a tomb for yourself here—to chisel your tomb in the height and cut your resting place in the rock?” (Isaiah 22:16, BSB)

“having canceled the debt ascribed to us in the decrees that stood against us. He took it away, nailing it to the cross! (15) And having disarmed the powers and authorities, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.” (Colossians 2:14-15, BSB)

I am writing this word that has been given in my spirit recently. It is meant to encourage the leadership in the Body of Christ to spend much time in prayer and fasting, inviting the Spirit to reveal the spiritual legal interferences affecting strategic organisational life and processes. It should lead to sincere repentance and total surrender to the Lord whilst dispensing with religious foundational practices. It is time to seek the divine leading of the Spirit as we totally surrender to the will of God.

I sense in my spirit the urgency with which the Lord is preparing individuals, organisations, denominations, communities and nations for His next imminent move. The way in which this 7-fold mantle of the 7th Sabbatical Year of Release has been at work is profoundly amazing. It is powerfully forceful to stir and change an order or the entities of life as the Spirit brings me to different strategic situations. It may not seem obvious to others but the mantle has been preparing the spiritual grounds of the entities of human life in communities, the Body of Christ, the Leadership and the nations. He is disrupting, deconstructing and levelling the strategic playing fields and the hearts of His people for the #NewPentecost outpouring that is to come. God loves His Creation and will leave no stones unturned to bring us back to spiritual and physical wholeness.

Prophetic writing has always been the vehicle the Spirit uses to stir and change the spiritual atmosphere. It is no different to biblical prophecies. God uses His servants to write what His mind is revealing for His people. For me, what is divulged through the Spirit is released into the vast spiritual territory as I oracle the word. Recently, the Spirit brought back to me what I was compelled to write in a 2009 book. I wrote that God is able to heal every entity of human life. It was on the release of those words that my entire life was turned over plunging me into an unimaginable life change. The spiritual journey has mirrored that statement, causing me to enter into many dire situations in different entities of life. As I am brought to these junctures of faith, I have been required to fight and win that battle as the Spirit directs me towards my full personal restoration and healing of my life. As I overcome in my personal fight, many others are released from challenges in the entities of their lives. Therefore, these postings are not of my own volition. Many times, like Jonah I have thought to run away from the call. The force of divine destiny for a longing, hurting world keeps things in perspective for me as I forge forward.

Foundational Problems

I will now share a word that I believe the Spirit would have us to hear at this time. The spiritual cleansing, purging and expunging of the rubble and debris that lies at the foundations of our lives and those of strategic entities must be removed in this season. An opportunity is being given to go beyond the surface problems and in a timely and conscientious Spirit-led fashion, to walk through the foundational entities of your life. Firstly, we must work on ourselves and take hold of the horns of the Ram for divine strength as we pour out on the threshing floor of the heart. Only then can we sincerely move through our life entities addressing foundational problems that would otherwise remain undisturbed. The 7-fold prophetic mantle of Jesus, given for this probing season will leave no stones unturned. Leaders are further required to pay due diligence to the foundational levels of organisations and strategic entities. For to whom much is given much is required. The Spirit of Prophecy is turning over every entity to disturb and reveal the dead bones lying in the spiritual crypts of our lives and organisations.

Crypts In The Foundation

Many religious organisations are devoted to keeping alive the generational memories of founding ancestors. For some, monumental structures are erected in their memory. For others, deceased founding fathers are buried in sepulchres, catacombs and even built sites called mausoleums. The Greek word (G2926), ‘krupté’ gives the meanings of ‘secret place, vault, crypt’. These tombs or burial sites are usually devoted for those of revered status within religious organisation. Historically, these crypts and vaults were hidden deeply under the altars and floorings in churches. Others are in underground rooms, basements and secret passages leading into dark chambers below churches. Crypts are therefore an underground burial site for patriarchs or deceased founding fathers, usually constructed on the sites of organisations. It is thought that the internment of Saint Peter of the 4th Century is buried under the high altar of St Peter Basilica Roman Catholic Church. These types of under the altar or flooring burial sites in the depths below church structures are a practice only relating to some branches of Christianity and not prevalent amongst religious entities.

Metaphorically, we can derive an understanding of spiritual crypts drawing on the purposes and set up of earthly sepulchres. In any religious organisation or denominations there can be ancestral spirit-crypts, hidden deep in the spiritual foundations of that entity. I will liken spirit-crypts to the hidden works of darkness. Psychologically an unwritten code of conduct can exist in the spiritual realm of the organisation that gives credence to spirit-shines. Allegiance to the memory of forefathers, venerated and immortalised by misguided devotion. God is against the setting up of shrines. In bible times, dead kings were buried in the high places on sacred mountains. It was a practice denounced by God as their burial sites were worshipped by the people. “For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.” (Isaiah 57:15, BSB). Basically, this scripture is referring to the high and holy habitation of the heart where God dwells with man. In this sacred hallowed ground there can be no devotion reserved unto other gods.

Lost Book of The Law

King Josiah on being handed the lost Book of the Law, hidden amongst the rubble in the destroyed temple in Jerusalem read it. Distressed by the backslidden state of the nation coming out of exile, he torn his royal robes and wept bitterly, repenting on behalf of the nation. With urgency he set about to take the lead at state level to restore the laws of God in the nation by tearing down the high places devoted to Baal worship. “How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God? (Hebrew 9:14, KJV. The lead for spiritual reform is most effective when actioned from a strategic level.

Resident Spirits

Resident spirits is a term I used in my 2009 book to indicate that these are comfortable spirits living in an entity. These ancient resident spirits reside in the life of an individual, organisation or nation. Those bound to the bondage of these resident spirits unwittingly understand everything in the organisation to be normal. They do not question or challenge according to the word. They often lack spiritual maturity through the pure doctrine.

Ancestral secrets, altars, practices and covenants that are entered into or invoked by past leaders are held highly by generational succession of leadership because of the strong bond of iniquity that abounds. These secret invocations and devotion to past leaders can block progress as curses and iniquitous bonds are legally binding in the spirit realm. By legally binding I mean that ancient bonds and curses are actioned when spoken and remain active until they are destroyed by the greater authority of the blood of Jesus. These bonds may even be unintentionally entered into by zealous past leaders but the set up conflicts with the Word of God. A generational passing continues as the consequences remain active in the spiritual realm. Evil utterances are not of God and therefore, if God is not in their set up these entities cannot spiritually prosper. (18) “They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart.” (Ephesians 4:18, ESV). Hence why so many denominations and church organisations remain unintentionally yoked to witchcraft and entities of evil. In many lax religious entities the mixing of the pure word with local witchcraft goes spiritually unchallenged. But in this heightened prophetic season, dead works are being revealed. The hidden works of darkness that nations, organisations and Individuals have spiritually entered into are being challenged. The stirring mantle of the Spirit of Release is provoking the lax spiritual atmosphere to attain the higher works of righteousness and spiritual maturity.

We understand that there is a spirit behind every problem, ie behind rebellion is a rebellious spirit. I am therefore using the ancient crypts metaphorically to bring about a spiritual explanation. However, having said that, it is in order for churches and denominations to work out in prayer and spiritual discipline what is hidden in the secret places of organisational life that is impeding progress and obedience to the searching Spirit of God. What has the forefathers invoked, written and spoken into spiritual law that is affecting and interfering with organisational life? What concordance has the living breathing Body of Christ with dead works? The evil realm is real and spirits controlling all entities of human life are actively at work in individuals, organisations, denominations and nations. Systemic evil and foundational dysfunction exists prevalently in the order of life. Hence why our Lord is bringing about a New Order.

Emerging From The Tombs

Firstly, let me provide some contextual information at an individual level to bring an understanding of how foundational problems exists and interferes with processes at strategic levels. All human problems, whether strategic, social or in the individual first exists in the spiritual realm. At an individual level we can see the oppressive control that demonic resident spirits had on the tormented young man who emerged from the tombs as Jesus passed by. (26) “Then they sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee. (27) When Jesus stepped ashore, He was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothing or lived in a house, but he stayed in the tombs” (Luke 8:.26-29, BSB)

It is no coincidence that this young man should cross paths with the Great Deliverer. It was a case set up from eternity for our learning. This young man was under the full control of demons because we understand legions of spirits spoke out of him to our Lord. These demons work under the authority of Satan. (28) “What do You want with us, Son of God?” they shouted. “Have You come here to torture us before the appointed time? (29) For Jesus had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was bound with chains and shackles, he had broken the chains and been driven by the demon into solitary places.” (Matthew 8:28-29, BSB). It would be a strong possession for Jesus to encounter so that we can have an understanding of the strength of captivity and His undisputed power over evil. It also speaks of the authority of our Lord and the fear His glory and presence elicits in Satan and his demonic hosts. It also reveals the brevity of their time as they seek to control vulnerable souls.

The possession of legions of devils is no doubt frightening but further numerical insight into the legions occupying the young man is given. Jesus asks the young man his name. The demons speaking on behalf of the young man replied ‘Legion’ because they were many. Under the influence of evil the true personality of an individual is blocked. Demons are speaking on the behalf of many, even christians. We speak, act and understand under the influence of these resident spirits when we have veered away from the Word. A cohort of legions consists of approximately 6000 soldiers. Six being the number of sin reveals the depths of wickedness that was holding this young man captive. It is what we call a ‘stronghold’ in the deliverance ministry. A fortified stronghold of bondage. When Jesus turns up His undisputed sovereignty over the realm of evil is established. The frothing, snivelling demons begin to manifest in the presence of our Lord. Uncomfortable and terrified at their exposure they plead to be left alone in the abode of the tormented soul. The Lord commands them, ‘be quiet and get out’. Jesus’ releasing word breaks the evil on the distressed soul. The territory of souls belongs to God, and not to be accommodated by evil resident spirits that have violently taken over the mind of a vulnerable individual, to make it their abode.

The power of Jesus’ Ministry to reconcile humankind back to a loving covenant relationship with the Father is a testament in this account of the young man who was living amongst the tomb. The cemetery was symbolic of the spiritual state of this man. He was spiritually dead and he had made his abode in the cemetery, the territory of departed souls. A fallen soul living amongst the tombs of dead men’s bones. He was in a spiritual crypt lain as dry bones amongst dead men’s bones. In the sepulchre of the spiritual dead he was vanquished, without life as envisioned by Ezekiel in the Valley of Dry Bones. But the Spirit of Life passed by and rescued this young man from his pitiable state.

Witchcraft spirits are controlling, manipulating spirits. It is now urgent that denominations/churches walk back through the history and the inception of these entities and repent on behalf of their founding ancestors. It should be done under the leading of the Spirit in collective prayer and fasting to unearth deep spiritual secrets, patriarchal curses and any founding bonds and ties bound in the spirit.

Bonds and covenants are spiritually legal entities consisting of words, curses and altars that are set up to control, manipulate and drive organisational life. Centuries after being invoked they continue to affect and influence decisions and loyalty to church life at the expense of the Spirit. These curses may even have been said and done innocently by zealous leaders. Pertaining to their time, period of service and lack of spiritual knowledge God in His mercy has covered their ignorance. In today’s season of heightened prophetic knowledge the ancient resident spirits of entities must be Spirit-stirred to change, be broken and destroyed by the revealing and potent Word of God.

It is the season when the hidden secrets and spiritual anomalies must be exposed and dealt with. “Therefore let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith in God” (Hebrews 6:1-2, BSB). With spiritual maturity and boldness in the Spirit, let us walk the dark terrains of the spirit realm without fear, erasing spiritually illegal ancient writings that stands against our full kingdom rights and turn over the detail of the unscriptural beliefs lain in the founding stones of the entities of life. “For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 3:11, BSB). The Lord of His Church is making ready His Bride. When God is done with us we will be thrashed and beaten out of sinful folly and hardness of heart. The obnoxious impure spirit of religion that Jesus contended with whilst here on earth will have been dealt a deadly blow. We must adhere to the pure word of truth in this season of change.

A New Order

I have continued to announce and oracle the New Order revealed to me back in 2015. Perhaps sounding like an over zealous writer banging on and giving leaders a hard time. So be it! I have to write and deliver in the spirit has it is given to me. You need to receive this, that the old system is being demolished and devoted to destruction as the 7-fold Release mantle moves with purpose, to tear and rase to the ground faulty foundations and structures. With that said, I am assured in my spirit that the dismantling of the old world order that has existed from the earliest of times is now weakened.

It was in 2015 I was urged to write about an ‘out of Egypt’ deliverance that would release me to the nations. It was as we entered into the decade of ‘Pey’ that the pandemic brought the humbling realisation that it was possible that I would be released, as it seemed almost impossible under the old religious order. As a result of this pandemic evil, the nations have become poorer, economically fragile and many are breaking apart at the seams. The pandemic has brought about a level of deconstructing of the strong, once seemingly impenetrable constitution of nations. The evil upholding nations, and the entities of life have been formidably strong because they are entrenched in deep satanic covenants that are upheld by centuries of iniquitous bonds, misguided loyalty and strategic psychological devotion to evil. These entrenched satanic bondages can only be destroyed by our Lord’s end-time mantle that He has reserved for this ‘kairos’ moment in the history of mankind.

Penetrating Into The System

I have come to realise that as an oracle, the prophetic genre I am endowed with is to warn, restore and bring healing. It is therefore often harsh and uncompromising when bringing a word of warning and thereby not often welcomed by most. Like Jeremiah, I am crushed in my spirit at times, but I have to do God’s will and not accommodate others and what they would like to hear.

I hereby pour out a timely warning that the Spirit of God is about to stir the entities of the legal, judiciary and penal systems. These institutions are by far, satanic corridors of power and corruption, set up against the poor and needy. They exists primarily to serve the people but at best, they work predominantly for the privileged and elite few. I do not believe it is intentional but that is how the system works against groups. They are essentially fundamentally flawed systems and unconsciously biased to the core. Many of these institutions work for Lodge-members and their associates. Those with the power and the means to make a difference to change the broken unfair system in order to give everyone a fair chance, choose not to upset the ‘apple cart’. If it works for them what do they care? The wheels of justice always grinds to a halt for the poor and needy. Yet, amongst these entities there are decent conscious advocates for justice but their voices go unheard because these territories are ancient deep seats of witchcraft strongholds and profoundly impenetrable but for the intervention of God..

In this season of a Sabbatical Release, these entities will be shaken and disturbed to the core. I believe that, in this 7th Sabbatical Year of Release we will see prisoners who have been condemned unjustly in suspect nations, without being charged being exonerated. The prison doors will be flung open and there will be a reversal as we see the evil workers of Satan behind bars. 2022 is the year of liberation and release according to the Lord’s favour. The voice of God will rip open the crypts of captivity and expose hidden dungeons where servile people are incarcerated without mercy in the nations. Many prisoners of war and victims of persecution, forgotten and left to rot in their hidden chambers and underground caverns will be found and released. I cry injustice! Injustice! The utter contempt shown to the less fortunate will be addressed and reversed in this season. God will cause those with the wealth to give back their ill-gotten gains and service the needs of the vulnerable and homeless in the distressed nations. The power of the strategic end time releasing mantle will devastate the hidden works of unrighteousness behind the unjust systemic evil in our world.

Come with me people, let us lift up the Name of Jesus our Lord to bring down and demolish injustice and dead works of unrighteousness. The mantle will chisel into, search out and lay bare and open the hidden works of darkness in the deepest crypts of life. Ancient resident spirits have occupied these sub-terrains and strongholds for too long wreaking havoc against all entities of human life. With disregard and contempt for the suffering people, the unimaginable evil of many world leaders, who are in effect victims themselves. is to unleash brute tyrannical force, abusing their strategic powers. “A Psalm of David. The earth is the LORD’s, and the fullness thereof, the world and all who dwell therein.” (Psalms 24:1, BSB) Leaders without integrity have been used by these spirits and have gone beyond the pales of what is acceptable, fair and justly. God is ripping up the Old Order of faulty foundations and structures underpinning the nations. There is no doubt that the world system has been constructed on evil, favouring the 3% of the privileged over the 97% of poor and needy and war weary folks.

Our obedience in this pre-Pentecost season is a time of spiritual cleansing and expunging of the dead works of sin. All bones of dead works lain in the spirit-crypts of our lives, organisations and nations must be removed from the spiritual heart and the handwriting of ordinances that was against us erased by the atoning blood of our Risen Lord, the Spirit of the 7-Fold Releasing Mantle. This level of spiritual preparation is the harbinger to the New Pentecost power, an overflow of the refreshing to hit the earth. Give due diligence to what is being given, prepare the heart and get ready people.

GWENDOLYN SMITH. #NEWPENTECOST. 29TH OCTOBER 2021

EARTH CALL TO ACCLAIM JESUS AS ‘LORD OF ALL’

“and they began to acclaim Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!” (Mark 15:18, NASB)“

Blessed are the people who learn to acclaim you. They walk in the light of your presence, Yahweh. “ (Psalms 89:15, WEB)

“For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our King.” (Psalms 89:18, KJV)

“No person could distinguish the sound of joyful acclaim from the sound of people weeping, for the people shouted with great joyful acclaim and the sound was heard from afar. (Ezra 3:13, LEB)

The uncommon blessings have already begun to tumble with force out of heaven’s storehouses. The Lord is eager to release them to us even as we drag our feet, unsure of what the fuss is all about. Many years ago I had a dream where God was rewarding people. As usual I was on the edge of the dream looking in, hearing the names on the sheet being read out, people expressing joy at their rewards and upgrades and there I was perplexed as to why my name was not called. The minister reading the names then left the room. I was disconcerted at what felt like another level of rejection. I then said, ‘Lord, when are you going to reward me?’. Immediately the minister returned with another list. I did notice that the names on this list only went half way down the page. I was anxious that he was getting to the end of the list and I was still not called. Then my name was called right at the end.

It was sometime after receiving that dream that I enquired of the Lord why I should be last. I heard in my spirit that my role in His end time New Order was strategic. Further, that what I was providing to the Body of Christ was an overarching or umbrella ministry. In the fullness of time I have begun to appreciate with divine understanding what it is now all about. So, people get ready with your projects, ministries, businesses of diverse, creative and innovative differentiations. This plethora of ideas, skills, gifts and abilities are intended to mirror the creative mind of God who hates drudgery and sameness. His flair and creativity is seen in His creation and must be reflected in His Church to demonstrate a fitly framed spiritual entity. We are at our best, most fulfilled and empowered to service the Kingdom work when we are rightly positioned, honing our skills in our purposes and callings. As individuals we thrive in the right environment for development and growth when we are fulfilling our divine purposes.

2022 – The Year of Release

On a final note! As we swiftly move towards Passover and Pentecost/Shavuot 2022, I felt led in my spirit to urge the people to begin a momentous build-up, lifting up the Name of Jesus. It is faith that releases the virtue from our Lord, the Giver. We see in scripture how Jesus would take note and comment on the faith of the seekers as He traversed the regions healing the people. “And he said unto her, Daughter, be of good comfort: thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace.” (Luke 8:48, BSB), “Then Jesus said to him, “Rise and go; your faith has made you well!”” (Luke 17:19, BSB), ‘”Receive your sight!” Jesus replied. “Your faith has healed you.” (Luke 18:42, BSB).

Leading up to the time of the New Pentecost we can begin to exercise our faith through exalting our Lord and throw the enemy into a tail spin and utter confusion.

This song, ‘All Hail the Power of Jesus Name’ has constantly been in my spirit. As I came back to writing I was prompted to galvanise the efforts of everyone reading this blog to pass on this song as a ‘theme song’ leading into Pentecost 2022. Sing it when you are alone, in your assemblies, herald it on the airways. Those with radio stations and television ministries play it. Let us punctuate the spiritual atmosphere in anticipation of what is to come under the 7th Sabbatical Year of Release (Shmita) 2022, the Year of the Lord’s favour. It will be pleasing in the ear of our Lord.

All hail the power of Jesus’ name! Let angels prostrate fall,
bring forth the royal diadem and crown him Lord of all.

Crown him you martyrs of our God, who witnessed to his call;
exalt the one whose path you trod, and crown him Lord of all.

Descendants of his chosen race you ransomed from the Fall,
hail him who saves you by his grace and crown him Lord of all.

Sinners, whose love cannot forget the wormwood and the gall
go spread your offering at his feet and crown him Lord of all.

Let every people, nation, tribe, on this terrestrial ball,
to him all majesty ascribe and crown him Lord of all.

O that in heaven with that great throng, we at his feet may fall,
join in the everlasting song and crown him Lord of all.

Edward Perronet (1780)

GWENDOLYN SMITH. #NEW PENTECOST. 5th JANUARY 2022

THE SLAYER

This prophetic word was fed my spirit in the early hours of 30th October 2021.

Mark Of Protection

The marking or branding of flocks of sheep as a means of identification and ownership is practised by sheep keepers. The conversation people are having today is about being vaccinated against the virus as a mark of protection. For the Body of Christ the full and perfect time is here for a mark of distinction as God’s people. The blood mark over the door of the heart under the New Covenant of grace is the eternal branding to identify with our Lord.. The indelible stain of the eternal mark cannot be erased, it is the seal of our redemption in Christ Jesus from the law of dead works.

As we utter and pour forth what the Spirit reveals we punctuate the spiritual atmosphere with our promises and purposes. They will come to pass no matter what the demonic agents assign against us, We have already overcome the evil intents pitched against us. The delaying tactics of Satan is intended to hinder progress. Despite the challenges we continue to forge a path through the thicket as we keep moving with grit and determination. Without a doubt, these challenging times and prolonged seasons of chaos and upheaval are defining who we are and shaping the spiritual character of God’s people. Under spiritual duress the mettle of our character will be strengthened to stay our faith. Resistance to disobedience is key to pressing through the demonic interferences we will encounter on the last leg of our spiritual journey. Importantly, obedience is the cement that holds one together, fortified on exhausting faith journeys. Obedience also bring divine protection against the eternal Slayer that God will send forth to humble His people.

I sense in my spirit, and with boldness I make it known that my conviction is that in this end season the Body of Christ will be strategically coordinated and led by God’s chosen servant. The culmination of the end time work will be undertaken by the 7-fold mantle released for this closing chapter. It is imperative that we take hold of this revelation of where God is working from and through whom He has chosen as His Oracle. It is of course a Herculean task, even contemplating the challenges it would present to see the convergence of many fractured entities into a unified Body in a state of spiritual equilibrium. However, as it is a call of the Spirit to strategic wholeness it will be an effortless introduction to congruence in the Body of Christ, in God’s New Order. Could this set the scene for the great falling away? I wonder! It will be the spirits of disobedience and rebellion that will initiate this departure from grace. There is so much at stake people. Let us take heed as the 7-fold Sword of purification, God’s slaying Word is unsheathed. The Spirit of Prophecy will make a distinction of them that are His. The Sword of Truth will cut down, pierce through and chisel into the hearts of the people. Blessings and obedience are relative as obedience is the conduit to receiving from the Giver. So let us strive to adhere to the will of God. “Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10, ESV)

Leaving Egypt

“They are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the door frames of the houses where they eat the lambs.” (Exodus 12:7, BSB). The directives given to Moses and Aaron would be carried out as each of the families of Israel would choose a choice lamb for slaughter. This sacrificing of a lamb would initiate Israel’s First Passover. The shedding of blood would be the sacred requirement for God’s people in a covenant relationship in the offering of heaven’s Pascal Lamb. The animals were slaughtered at twilight on the night designated by God. The sacrificing of an animal, a blood offering, would set the precedence for the eternal expiation for sin. The people were required to daub some of the blood over the doorpost of their dwellings. “They are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.” (Exodus 12:7, BSB) . It would be a sign of protection against the fury of the Slayer who would pass through Egypt on that fearfully memorable night. “The blood on the houses where you a re staying will distinguish them; when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No plague will fall on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.” (Exodus 12:13, BSB). Without the mark of the blood on the doorpost of the homes of the Israelites they would be destroyed just as their Egyptian neighbours. The Slayer would not discriminate between the homes except for the blood marking.

“On that night I will pass through the land of Egypt and strike down every firstborn male, both man and beast, and I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD” (Exodus 12:12, BSB) . The Slayer or Death Angel would pass through the land with fury and vengeance as God directed the release of His chosen people out of slavery and bondage. After 430 years on foreign soil, God appointed a time when Israel would not remain a moment longer in Egypt. According to God’s ecclesiastic calendar it was the ‘kairos’ moment for strategic change. The Death Angel would pass over the doors that were protected by the shed blood and strike the male firstborns in the unprotected homes.

Doors represents access into or an exit out of. The Hebrew word ‘deleth’ is the 4th letter of the Jewish Alphabet and means ‘door’, ‘gate’. I perceive in my spirit that the spiritual door is a portal to eternal life. We can walk into the realm of life through Jesus the door into our eternal rest. Israel was saved from the sword of the ‘Slayer‘ by following the instructions given by God to His chosen servants. Obedience became a door to enter through into the promise of freedom from Egypt. Here we have the narrative on Cain who slew his brother Abel because of jealousy. Abel’s sacrifice unto God was pleasing. Cain had a choice to repent but he chose to walk away unrepentant. “…If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you refuse to do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires you, but you must master it.” (Genesis 4:7, BSB). He walked away and exited into rebellion.

A blood-covenant relationship with our Lord, the sacrificing of ourselves with His blood mark over the door of our heart is the means by which we can be protected and spared life in Jesus. In Ezekiel 9, we see Jesus with the ink pot. He knows them that are His. The six destroying angels sent out by God would follow Him, bearing witness to the judgement of God against those who are disobedient and will not repent. In this account, Israel inherently sinful would not repent over the sins of the nation. The daughters of Israel were unconcerned, not sorrowing over a nation’s backslidden state. The leaders did not feel the pain that God felt over His people.

The Emotions of God

“Go throughout the city of Jerusalem,” said the LORD, “and put a mark on the foreheads of the men sighing and groaning over all the abominations committed there.” (Ezekiel 9:4, BSB). In Ezekiel’s vision he beholds the wrath of God displayed amongst the erring people in Jerusalem. God instructed the six executioners to begin the slaying in His sanctuary amongst the elders. In Egypt the Death Angel was instructed to destroy the firstborn of every male in the houses not covered by the blood mark. On the journey to the Land of Promise, the generations of travellers who witnessed that fearful night of departure from Egypt that God watched over, were those who died in the wilderness. Could it be that a precedence is being set that the first will be last and the last first? Just a thought!

Many centuries later Ezekiel is being shown the same emotions of God’s wrath. On this account, the executors were to follow Jesus, the ink-pot marker who judges the hearts of those who are called by His Name. The six slayers, six being the number of sin, were to show no pity on those without the mark on their foreheads. It would be a bloody scene as the courts of the temple would be filled with the bodies of the slain.

EARTH CALL TO WORSHIP

“Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.” (Revelation 15:4, ESV)

“Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. “ (Philippines 2:9-11, ESV)

“When all the people of Israel saw the fire come down and the glory of the Lord on the temple, they bowed down with their faces to the ground on the pavement and worshiped and gave thanks to the Lord, saying, “For he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever.” (2 Chronicles 7:3, ESV)

We are being called back to the basis of our faith. An acknowledgement of Yahweh Elohim, Ruler of all mankind. He is worthy of true worship, a sacrifice diligently prepared in the deepest places of a longing expressive heart. “And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and all that is in them, saying, “To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb be blessing and honour and glory and might forever and ever!” (Revelation 5:13, ESV)

I pour out an Earth Call to worship from the high places in the nations, hallowed and blessed for God’s glory. Let all mankind fall prostrate before Yahweh Kodesh. All peoples around this globe ascribing to false gods will now denounce and forsake them. An Earth Call is once again given to ’Come and Drink of Me”. This Invitation to the thirsty temple worshippers was given by Jesus at the Yearly Feast of Tabernacle in Jerusalem (John 7:37). We humbly present ourselves before the throne of the Eternal One to quench the thirsty soul. “I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.” (Romans 12:1, ESV)

The moving, stirring, enlivening Spirit of the Wind, Ruach Hadkodesh breathes out an urgent and vital Earth-Call to worship. The Wind of the Spirit is a mighty force of power, interfacing in a dynamic relationship with humankind. An exponent grace is being given for this season as the Spirit of the Wind churns and turns over all entities of human life at the bidding of the Word of Life. Permit a responsive heart to feel the rhythm of the Wind as you dance to the beat of the Spirit in this season. Allow the Deep of the Spirit to call to the deep of your responsive spirit for true intimacy in worship. Alone with sweet Jesus it is a pleasurable, satisfying and uplifting experience. (23) “But the hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worship him. (24) God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.” (John 4:23-24, ESV)

In this season of unprecedented woe, fear and challenges on many fronts there is hope. I sense in my spirit that there is a great measure of grace being given for protection and safety for everyone to complete their community kingdom projects. “I call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies.” (Psalms 18:3, ESV).

Come people, join the Earth Call to worship. Multitudes of people of the nations will be gathering in the figurative ‘Central Square’ near the ‘Water Gate’,, a reference to Jesus the Water of Life. In this place, there will be a spiritual experience of the #NewPentecost outpouring as the spiritually thirsty people from every tribe and nation around this distressed globe will meet with ‘El Makom,’ the God’ of ‘The Place’.as they flow into the Kingdom of God.

EARTH SONG OF PRAISE

“The people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise.” (Isaiah 43:21, ESV)

“And at the evening sacrifice I. arose up from my heaviness; and having rent my garment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God,” (Ezra 9:5, BSB)

(3) Say to God, “How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies cower before You.” (4) All the earth bows down to You; they sing praise to You; they sing praise to Your name.” Selah. (5) Come and see the works of God; how awesome are His deeds toward mankind.” (Psalms 66:3-5, BSB)

Glory to God! Hallelujah! Praises unto our God. Let the nations come and bow before Jehovah God. “Yours, O Lord, 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 yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all.” (1 Chronicles 29:11, ESV)

He is LORD of All. LORD of His Creation. Come people, let us magnify the LORD. Come magnify the LORD with me. “Let everything that has breath praise the Lord! Praise the Lord!” (Psalms 150:6,ESV)

I will lift up the Name of JESUS in all the earth. Worthy, worthy is the Lamb of God that takes away our sins. Worthy is the Name of JEVOVAH, Most High. Your Name is Exalted in all the earth. Praise be to GOD Almighty. AMEN

ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP ROLE

2 Corinthians 6:1-12

“Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.” (1 Corinthians 11:1, NIV)

Strategic Leadership Announcement

It is with much joy that I announce to the Body of Christ what the Lord has laid on my heart today.

I humbly submit this word to the Body of Christ that I am Spirit-led to inform the current global Church that God has graciously bestowed upon me the authority and strategic leadership of His end time Elect Church. My role will be as His Oracle, a position that will be watched over and fiercely guarded by the Spirit. My dear Lord has left me in no doubt , whatsoever that He is with me and He has chosen me for this gracious fought over position in His New Order.

i am quietly and soberly humbled. It is more than I deserve. It is His promised vindication and today I enter into my Beracha Valley to behold the ‘Bloody Scene’ as my foes are vanquished. “For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.” (Hebrews 10:30, BSB)

Everyone can bear witness in their spirit to the Lord’s Favour and rejoice with me for what He has done. It is a momentous day as I am Spirit-led to put out this timely message to the global Church. ”He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.”. (Psalms 37:6, BSB).

Humbly submitted!
