PROTECTION AND SECURITY

And there by the Ahava Canal I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask Him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all our possessions. (22) For I was ashamed to ask the king for an escort of soldiers and horsemen to protect us from our enemies on the road, since we had told him, “The hand of our God is gracious to all who seek Him, but His great anger is against all who forsake Him.” (Ezra 8:21-22, BSB)

Strategic Positioning

Under the emerging New Order there will be a more disciplined approach to our spiritual lives, worked out earnestly on the threshing floor of the heart. For protection and security we must follow the leading of the Spirit in the next season. In order to align to God’s next move it is imperative that we are obedient to the instructions being given by the Spirit. As the servant chosen by God for the 7-fold healing mantle I will be given the instructions for the Elect Church to follow.

“He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.” (Psalms 37:6. BSB) With reverential fear I announce that I have received in my spirit the instructions to write that the divine favour of the Lord bestowed upon me has given me a strategic positioning in the Elect Body of Christ. It is God’s divine vindication promised me. “For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.” (Hebrews 10:30, BSB). I am humbled as the Lord’s favour towards me avenges and makes right the painful episodes of the last 10 years in His New Order. It is the Lord’s doing and it is marvellous to behold.

Fasting For Heaven’s Assistance

I pass on what the Spirit has fed my spirit regarding protection and security for the end time Elect Church.

Everyone must be disciplined, fasting 1-day a week for protection against the pandemic. This request is part of a more comprehensive Lifestyle Programme revealed to me as part of a strategic global Community Health Project. It is heaven’s blueprint for mankind’s safety and protection in uncertain times. This fasting for protection is being introduced now as we see the nations being plagued by the pneumonic virus. I urge that people begin to incorporate this timely Spirit-request into a weekly 1-day discipline. The fullness of the Lifestyle Programme will be rolled out as the Spirit reveals all concerning this forceful strategic mantle. For seasoned christians you may already have a weekly fasting routine so keep it going. But this will be relevant to the many coming to the Kingdom in this end time. What is occurring is a design of evil to prematurely bring an end to our lives. Like Ezra in the verses above, I believe our protection and safety from all encroaching evil will be guaranteed by our spiritual discipline of a sacrificial offering unto the Lord. I woke from sleep in early November when this word was given to me. I was under a great level of resistance to release this word then, so I am only now just getting it out. You needed to hear this word because of the recurring health problems facing the world. It is a serious word for a critical time and must be taken seriously as we are indeed living in unprecedented times of chronic fear and instability besetting humankind

As a way of providing scriptural context, I will frame my thought into Ezra 8.21-22. “And there by the Ahava Canal I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask Him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all our possessions. (22) For I was ashamed to ask the king for an escort of soldiers and horsemen to protect us from our enemies on the road, since we had told him, “The hand of our God is gracious to all who seek Him, but His great anger is against all who forsake Him.” (Ezra 8:21-22, BSB). The narrative of these verses reveals the challenges the returning Jews could encounter on their journey home to Jerusalem and the provinces. After leaving exile the returning groups had to endure dangerously long travel through the wilderness. In bible times, travelling hubs and nomadic groups had to contend with marauding gangs, wild animals and other life threatening situations. These journeys were exhausting and testing on the physical body. It was particularly difficult for families with young children and the elderly. The prophet Ezra was granted favour by God to ask assistance from King Artaxerxes towards the national rebuilding work in Jerusalem. Ezra could not contemplate asking yet again for escorted travelling protection. The King would have known the journey was perilous and as he had not offered security assistance, Ezra determined to solely trust the God of their forefathers for safe passage to Jerusalem. He issued a proclamation that the group humble themselves in fasting in order to elicit the help of God for divine protection.

Ezra brought them to the Ahava river banks were the multitude of priests, elders and family groups along with cattle assembled for three day. Ezra, weighed with the responsibility to watch over the people, scanned and numbered the group taking note that there were no Levites amongst the group. “Now I assembled them at the river that runs to Ahava, where we camped for three days; and when I observed the people and the priests, I did not find any Levites there.” (Ezra 8:15, NSAB). The Levites were the God-ordained tribe responsible for temple matters and worship. Iddo, an elder assisted Ezra and messengers were sent to bring some of the Levites remaining in captivity to come and join the travelling group. Ezra and the people then humbled themselves in fasting, as they bowed down to seek divine protection over their lives and possessions. In Godly fear they would trust God on His infallible word, the testimony of their faith for a safe passage through hostile territories.

A Collective Effort

It will be a Herculean spiritual challenge to make heaven in these end times and will require a Spirit-unified effort by the Elect Church. Collectively as a force for good in the earth we can command evil to bow in submission by our co-ordinated efforts. The sum of our whole as the Elect Church is greater than our individual parts. Hence, why I advocate and announce that the Elect Church will come under strategic leadership. Under a strong anointing I was compelled to write this in one of my 2015 books. Therefore, it is without doubt it will be so.

The Lord will build and lead His Elect Church against every assault levelled against Her. As the chosen servant earmarked for this time I will emerge from the shadows to my rightful position, assigned by God. “And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it.” (Matthew 16:18, BSB). I have heaven’s protection against any attempt to subvert with evil intent this strategic move . On that understanding, I can hereby forge forward with urgency. The strategic need for healing in the nations has never been more pressing. In this ‘kiaros’ moment i have been called to the kingdom for such a time as we are experiencing. The strategic gift bestowed to me is the 7-fold mantle of healing that the nations need.

In this end season the world will plunge into greater woes as world conditions deteriorate. World leaders will become bereft of solutions to the systemic problems emerging from the pneumonic plague. They will turn to the Elect Church for solutions as she becomes more glorious, influential and relevant to the world. It will be profoundly impactful as the new kingdom platform, the ‘bimah’ is raised up before the watching world.

A Steel Platform

In an earlier dream I had, I was driving an articulated vehicle on a solid foundation, noticeably a very thick steel platform. This denotes the spiritual foundational robustness and quality of the end time Elect Church. The end time spiritual platform has been built by God and the people will be protected against the gates of hell. (10) “By the grace God has given me, I laid a foundation as an expert builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one must be careful how he builds. (11) For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. (12) If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw,  (13) his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work.  (14) If what he has built survives, he will receive a reward.”  (1 Corinthians 3:10-14 , BSB).

It has been ten years, in isolation that I have been building this platform. Under the watchful eyes of a loving Father I have been trained and prepared for this time. This level of discipline and dedication has secured the spiritual structure from which the end time Church of creativity, diversity and differentiations will work from. The Church is a global ‘Speckled Bird’. In truth, our implicit biases towards each other are euphemisms of unrepentant hidden sins, signs of ignorance and intolerance to our human differences. The great ‘Speckled Bird’ will be celebrated in this end season.

Our Lord will draw together our human uniquenesses into a beautiful tapestry work of cultures, race, ethnic groups, tongue and creed. The ‘universal tribe‘ of the Bride of Christ. I am just so excited, I feel a rippling effect surging through me, tingled with unceasing expressions of love, ecstasy and unfettered joy at what God has done for His longing people. It will be the dismantling of man-made organisational church structures. In this ‘kiaros’ moment we will see the zenith of the Church Age, in its Rapture-ready state. The 7-fold releasing mantle will be the means by which we can be healed and restored back to health. With due respect to current denominations, God requires that we pay attention to the platforms from which we have worked from. They have worked for a time but in this next season a new unified spiritual structure is required to withstand the levels of end time evil coming against the Church. We need each other, led by the Spirit. What is issued from heaven through God’s chosen servant who will follow in the footsteps of our Lord is what will take place as we spiritually negotiate the challenged unknown journey to heaven. Let us hear this word and obey what the Spirit is saying. to the universal Church

Turkish Woman’s Dream

I will just conclude by sharing a dream a Turkish woman, unknown to me, from the Alevi community had. She has never been to the UK but her daughter was divinely connected to me in London. Her daughter did say to me that she had never mentioned me to her mother. The dream was recalled by the daughter to me. In my presence she had a call from her mother who was known as a dreamer in her community in Turkey because her dreams always came to pass.

The woman recalled that in her dream she saw a black woman on a large raised circular platform and people of all nations were around the stage. She proceeded to say that in the dream the hands of the woman were raised up to the heavens and she was weeping. As she spoke it was as if someone else was speaking out of her.

Immediately the daughter turned round, looking at me she said, ‘Mum I know who that woman is. Her name is Gwen and she is here with me’. I was stumped with amazement because she dreamt everything that God said to me regarding the call. I was called as a prophet to the nations and I would be His oracle. The manifestation of the anointing when the rush of the Spirit comes upon me is evident with weeping. I said to the daughter that God wanted her to know who I was. Her mother’s dream was for her benefit because God had shown her to me in the spirit as significant to the end time work with the Alevi people. Since that day God has had her on her own spiritual journey of faith awaiting His next move.

THE ROAR OF JUDAH’S LION

“For it is the day of the LORD’S vengeance, and the year of recompence for the controversy of Zion.” (Isaiah 34:8. BSB)

The LORD shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail against his enemies. (Isaiah 42:13, BSB)

Recently I woke to the echoing in my ear of ‘The voice of the Lord is powerful’. The thoughts continued as I envisaged the mighty roar of the Lord through the land tearing down, stripping surfaces, rooting up faulty foundations and collapsing unstable structures. (3) “The voice of the LORD is over the waters; the God of glory thunders; the LORD is heard over many waters. (4) The voice of the LORD is powerful; the voice of the LORD is majestic. (5) The voice of the LORD breaks the cedars; the LORD shatters the cedars of Lebanon. (6) He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Sirion like a young wild ox. (7) The voice of the LORD strikes with flames of fire. (8) The voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness; the LORD shakes the Wilderness of Kadesh. (9) The voice of the LORD twists the oaks and strips the forests bare. And in His temple all cry, “Glory!” (Psalms 29: 3-9, BSB). The glorious display of His wonders amongst the children of men speaks of authority and His sovereign will. For who is like unto our God, majestic in awe and strength, to bring all things under His divine rule. The nations are humbled at the wonders of His power. The enemies of God cede control and power over territories to accommodate the purposes of the Spirit.

I feel strongly that properties, lands and possessions are being restored to God’s people in this ‘now’ season. What has been violently taken and denied many will be given back by the mighty outstretched arm of providence. The wait has been excruciatingly long but the hope of the people for our Lord’s righteous vindication and His intervention is guaranteed. The voice of justice peels across the vast spiritual territories as the gavel of legal justice comes down. Divine justice on many levels is being executed across our world. The voice of Yahweh ‘Sabaoth’ is powerful to usher in devastation and chaos as the Hosts of Heaven pass through the land. “Hear the uproar from the city; listen to the voice from the temple! It is the voice of the LORD, repaying His enemies what they deserve!” (Isaiah 66:6, BSB). The enemies of God are in fear and terror as Judah’s Lion is stirred to roar His vengeance, tearing and devouring to bring an end to His foes. .

A Kingly Tribe

A Kingly deliverance as experienced by Judah and King Jehoshaphat is upon us. Unimaginably vast blessings in your Beracah Valley is yours. Be audacious, strengthen, lengthen and pursue with vigour and with a bold and aggressive attitude take back. Claim it and plunder the enemies’ coffers. It is a bloody scene to behold as your enemies are vanquished before your eyes. A great and mighty roar has gone throughout the land. A roar from the Kingly tribe of Judah. The Voice of God speaks of His authority in the detail of human life. What my spirit digested was that I should put this word out without any reservation. The Spirit revelation is also that of God raising me up before the watching world in this season as His oracle on a global platform. His best kept secret will be revealed. It is fearfully humbling.

FAITH WITHOUT THE RELIGION

“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. (Revelation 2:29, BSB)

Faith without the religion is exemplifying the Spirit of our Lord through His unconditional love. It is about how we treat each other. Our faith being worked-out on the threshing floor of repentance is evident through works of kindness and compassion. It is loving on Jesus, mirroring His unfailing love in acts of kindness towards our fellowmen, the poor and needy of our societies. “Love does no wrong to its neighbour. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.” (Romans 13:10, BSB) Jesus had no time for the religion seen in the temple by the leaders in Jerusalem. The healing of the people was paramount in Jesus’ Ministry of Reconciliation. Yet, under the law healing was least considered over sacrifices, rituals and all things pertaining to temple matters. The leaders embraced the spirit of the letter of the Mosaic law but rejected the Spirit of the Law Giver.

Under the New Covenant of grace to reconcile first with the wounded hurting people is counted as works of righteousness. In doing so we are reconciling with the Father. I am urging that we give priority to the basic underpinning virtues of love, compassion, forgiveness and justice of the faith. We are shifting into the fullness of the end time’s releasing mantle that is currently stirring the spiritual atmosphere and changing the world. To reject the end-time oracle of this strategic healing anointing is to reject the Spirit of this prophetic momentous move. Essentially, it is to miss the opportunity for the end time refreshing flow and remain in religion.

Over the last ten years, whilst going through my spiritual journey of faith, I have seen the amazing ways in which the mantle has been releasing those the Spirit has brought my way. Some of these individuals have key end-time ministries and they needed to be released in order to pursue their call. The strength of evil working against them required the season’s higher mantle, released to our world by the Spirit of Prophecy. Like me they have experienced levels of loss and life changes for their call. As I have been given a strategic mantle I have been required to assist them in their spiritual journey in preparation for what is to come under God’s New Order. Out of our shared-experiences, strong kingdom relationships have been forged.

What is Religion?

This is my own understanding of what religion looks like in works. This will enable one to check themselves and to fall in line with what God requires of His people. From a business perspective I would say religion has its roots in a transactional model. It is a ‘closed’ organisational system tied to pride and is a strong spiritual bondage. You have to see its operation from a spiritual vantage point to appreciate the sincerity of those under religious captivity. It is an inward looking approach to organisational life and serves to bring about an order of control. This behavioural trait of organisational performance lacks the Spirit. This approach to church life has served its time of effectiveness and in this season of change, it is not working effectively. A transactional method is repetitive drudgery. An approach that manages people rather than the Spirit-led releasing of the human potential of organisations. This mundane method of norm and form, working out of custom accommodates the spirits that uphold religion. Inadvertently diversity, creativity and differentiations of abilities and purposes are stifled.

“For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.” (1 Corinthians 3:11, BSB). The religious spirits are founding spirits lain in the foundations of the entitles of human life. They are witchcraft spirit, resistant to change, operating out of control, manipulation and forced power. “For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the LORD, he hath also rejected thee from being king.” (1 Samuel 15:23, KJV). These are haughty, self important spirits with little measure of love and compassion. Religion is ritualistic with driven approaches, focussed on externalised works over the internalised works of righteousness. These rebellious hardcore spirits operate out of creating a climate of fear, achieving a sense of loyalty under resignation . There is no justification for such control and base elemental approaches except that these are carnal elements worked out of the flesh. These spirits are of the same ancient legalistic order that played out in early temple life when Jesus exposed the evil. These spirits work through once sincere leaders and have not gone away over time. Rather, they have become resident in church life.

Except the higher order of the prophetic Spirit chisel into the faulty foundational works, they go undetected. In this season, the searching Spirit of God is revealing the rot and decay established over centuries of church life. The world is rising to the challenges facing our humanity. Our sins in all walks of life has come home to haunt us. It is no less so in the Body of Christ. We have sinned and come short of the glory of God over the centuries. It is now imperative that on this critical spiritual watch, leaders in the Body of Christ step up to this opportunity.

The Unifying Spirit

Another level of prophetic insight of the strategic issues underlying denominations and organisational structures is required as the Lord inspect His Church. The problems churches are facing are foundational. In this season the cracks, fissures and deep gaping chasms must be addressed. They cannot be papered over, given a lick of paint or overlooked. It would be a presumptuous move of folly and negligence in corporate diligence to ignore the Spirit-call to collective organisational repentance. There is a great demand on leaders in this season to do right by the Spirit and transit to a new spiritual dimension under the leading of the mantle released for this time.

In 2015, whilst under a strong compelling urge to write, the Spirit revealed a New Order is coming . An ‘out of Egypt’ deliverance.would usher in what God intends for His end time Elect Church. As we approach the ‘Year of Release’, the 2022 season of a releasing outpouring of a #NewPentecost, we can expect another level of shaking and shifting in the global collective Church. The efforts of leaders to bring the global Church into a new level of spiritual integrity is by far wholly inadequate. Many church leaders are mistaken that human efforts to accommodate change to bring about this season’s refreshing can be achieved by their intuition or organisational efforts. It is initially commendable because the weight of responsibility to do the right thing is pressing. In truth, if the right actions are not taken now to follow the leading of the Spirit out of the old order, it is only a matter of time that we see a mass exodus as many break ranks. A new spiritual positioning will take place as clarity unfolds and we move into the Gregorian 2022 calendar, the Year of the Release of the Lord’s Favour.

It will be the 7-fold healing mantle, under the leading of the Spirit that will bring about the full, complete and perfect culminating work to the Body of Christ . This instrument of end time power will release souls out of spiritual captivity and drudgery. It is the Spirit of Prophecy, our Lord who will bring His end time Church to Rapture-readiness.

The Spirit of God is the unifier of His people. “as a plan for the fullness of time, to bring all things in heaven and on earth together in Christ.“ (Ephesians 1:10, BSB). The Lord will not leave it to undiscerning leaders to bring about the intended unison for this time. It would be just another level of surreptitious meetings and the blocking of God-chosen individuals across organisations and denominations. There would be no change in behaviour because it is a religious spirit that is behind denominationalism and organisationalism. It is not meant to be offensive because I am talking about the visceral levels of human interaction that is so easily relied upon.

THE HUMOUR OF GOD

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

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

My strategic role will become more apparent as the Spirit-word given in 2013 comes to pass. “He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.” (Psalms 37:6, BSB). This word was given to me at one of the darkest, loneliest periods of my wilderness experiences. At that time I despaired that i would ever be exonerated for the injustice done to my good name . I was disillusioned with the Body of Christ and the inertia of church leaders. The Lord just knows how to drop a word that lifts your spirit and gives you strength to keep going. I was reassured in my spirit to dry up my tears because my Lord had taken note and vengeance belonged to Him. “For we know Him who said, “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge His people.” (Hebrews 10:30, BSB). When the wait on God’s justice is long, and hope in his deliverance seems deferred, it is an intentional move on His part. You can be assured that God is up to something because His ways are not always readily understood. It is always for His glory and the watching people will be stumped, dumbfounded and in fear of God.

An ‘Out of Egypt’ Deliverance

An ‘out of Egypt’ deliverance was promised to me and I have given it a brief mention in a couple of my 2015 books. In 2020 as we approached Passover Week the nation (UK) was told of the emerging plague that has subsequently afflicted the globe. During that Holy Season of 2020 I was given instructions regarding how to write my way out of spiritual captivity. During that season I also had a dream of finding my lost handbag when the Body of Christ was on a break. In that dream the building was dark and everyone seemed to be under a collective bondage, mute and unpleasant to me as I enquired if they had seen my bag. I sensed it was a demonic atmosphere as the church community were bound into the lies being purported about me. The dream was an updated version of an earlier dream that I had back in 2010. In that earlier dreamt I lost my black clutch-bag and the people looked and behaved the same as in this 2020 dream.

The bag I found was firmer, larger and a bright pink. It was when all the people left the large auditorium by the back exit doors that I saw the pink bag in the dark building. I ran to pick up my bag and clutching it tightly I immediately left the building. Finding the bag was an indication that I had recovered my spiritual identity. In those early years of my spiritual journey of faith every platform of my entire life was pulled from under me. Evidently, it was yet another aspect of the fulfilment of the ‘out of Egypt’ deliverance promised me. Both dreams indicates to me that I have not got a place amongst the current church community. Further, it was after Pentecost 2020 that I was instructed to begin writing a blog. It has been an empowering and transforming experience and I will never look back. God has a new life for me and my family as they suffered too.

Change Is Here

Since coming out of Sukkot last month, there has been a tremendous restlessness in my spirit as I faithfully waited on God for my next instructions. I received that word in my spirit on 29th October. Directions were released for the final aligning to the promise of restoration. I will try to provide a brief outline of what I received in my spirit as I now move forward. Initially, I will put into context the word given by drawing on earlier narratives.

In early August/September I had been writing about the prophet Ezra returning to Jerusalem after being in exile with other notable contemporaries. He was one of the returning leaders with a strong sense of purpose to settle the returning people. Ezra’s role was to instill the Torah Law in the returning people who had been under pagan captivity. Every 7th Sabbatical Year of Release (Shmita), it was a legal requirement under the Mosaic Order for Israel to be read the Torah Law. This special 7th Year was a time of release from every form of bond, cancellation of debts and freedom from social bondages. “So Moses wrote down this law and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and to all the elders of Israel. (10 )Then Moses commanded them, “At the end of every seven years, at the appointed time in the year of remission of debt, during the Feast of Tabernacles, (11) when all Israel comes before the LORD your God at the place He will choose, you are to read this law in the hearing of all Israel.” (Deuteronomy 31:9-11, BSB). Ezra stood on a raised platform called a ‘bimah’. The wooden structure was situated in the open square in Jerusalem near the Water Gate. It was from this platform that the people would gather around to have the Torah Law read to them. Yahweh ‘Makom’ is ‘The Place’. It is His choice where to meet His people in His earth. Under the New Covenant it would be in the hearts of sinful men that He would reside through His Son Jesus.

The Old Covenant served as types and shadows of what was yet to come through the New Covenant of Jesus. The 7th Year signifies a complete, perfect and full time for release from bondage. Seven is a prophetic number. Therefore, we are in the season of the full, perfect and complete time for a strategic visitation of Yahweh ‘Makom’ to meet with His people . It will be in a visibly convincing and compelling manner as did the ‘out of Egypt; episode that brought fear to the hostile nations in Bible times. Every soul around this distressed globe will meet with Yahweh ‘Makom’ in the strategic place of His choosing. The Water Gate is a representation of Jesus the Living Flow. From this central place will flow the living, healing Word. Every bondage, chains of captivity, mental, physical, emotional and spiritual burdens will be torn away under the mantle of release by Yeshua our Lord. The shackles of sin, oppression, and strongholds of iniquity will be released from the people in this season. The Deliverer is here to break into the persistent and resistant darkness. However Yahweh ‘Makom’ will do it, our world will be drawn into a central place of His choosing. The Year 2022 is the 7th Sabbatical Year of Release as God revealed to me in May after Pentecost/Shavuot.

Release and Restoration

There will be an imminent and great move of God as the word given to me in 2013 comes to pass. “He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.” (Psalms 37:6, BSB). The Spirit of Release is ushering me to my strategic global platform. In this position of waiting, I see the Spirit of Vengeance wielding the sword of truth concerning me. It is God’s preserve to bring vengeance against the enemies of destiny. During the exodus of Israel out of Egypt, the hostile surrounding nations observed with fear as the mighty outstretched arm of Yahweh ‘Palet’, the Deliverer secured an epic victory for His people. The watching world cringed in fear, laying low in disbelief as slaves left the place of bondage with the silver and gold. Egypt was broken to the core. I announce a reminiscence of that episode as history will be played out in this season as God’s people leave old national systems for a New Kingdom Order. A momentous move of grace for deliverance, reconciliation, restoration and healing is upon our broken hurting world. Properties, lands and possessions stolen and violently taken from God’s people will be restored. Redacted legal papers will be exposed and title deeds are being released to rightful owners. It is the Lord’s doing and it is marvellous in our eyes. We are coming out of this season with the spoils of the battle and the glory is the Lord’s. “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too difficult for Me?” (Jeremiah 32:27,.BSB).

Ushered To My Platform

The spirit of religion and indifference inflicted on the suffering servants for this end time will be dealt with by the Spirit of God. The entire journey I have come has been one of exceptional faith worked out in a very public manner. It is the only way the Spirit has dealt with me. It has caused people to mock, vilify and call me all sorts when they do not see the evidence in the timeframe they perceive it should be seen. But I have continued to pursue destiny no matter how humiliating and unfavourable it seems, as I am borne up by a compelling Spirit force. I cannot fail as God has been so consistent, endearing, and faithfully steadfast to engender in me levels of confidence and peace unimaginable. It has been a profoundly humbling experience. The Spirit would have me write and release what is given. Sometimes I feel a little hesitant with apprehension and I will check and recheck if its the right action to take. He always let me know He is with me. As I write I feel the anointing so strong it melts my heart as I first minister to myself. When I have posted a word I feel a great sense of accomplishment having got the post out because I come under attack as I sometimes struggle to collect my thoughts and sit down to write. It is a level of discipline that screens me off. When a post is released onto the global airways the faith to put it out there begins to be activated. The spiritual airways becomes active to accomplish the word given. The struggles and disfavour have come about because of the assignment for the nations, to bring people out of spiritual captivity. It will always bring a backlash from the enemy.

I am now emerging after being forged in the 7-strength fire of rejection and mistreatment, just as our Lord suffered at the hands of men, showing disdain and contempt towards Him. I do not really worry as I do not seek the approval of humankind. These challenges are associated with prophetic territories because many souls will be delivered. Essentially, rejection of God’s servants attest to an enacting of the scenes that played out in early temple life in Jerusalem towards Jesus. “The righteous shall rejoice when he sees the vengeance: he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked…” (Psalms 58:10, BSB). Thankfully God’s vengeance is not as men sees it. He is merciful and it will be hilarious to behold. The injustices I encountered at the hands of evil came from all quarters. It is unbelievable how this mantle has revealed the hearts of individuals at every level. Sometimes it was easier for me to remain indoors to avoid people who would just begin manifesting the contents of the heart. Sometimes I just did not want to see it as I complained to our Lord. I am now about to receive a Joseph deliverance as the precious gift of healing, graciously bestowed, makes room for me.

I now envisage that I am being ushered to my God-ordained platform and it will give God the glory. It is awesome what He will do now because time is a revealer of one’s enemies and it is usually a sobering experience when they are exposed. When one trusts the Lord and patiently await His version of vindication it is sweet to behold. I am already falling about laughing. Really! God makes known the hidden depths of His humorous nature. He wraps Himself in light, yet He is mysteriously veiled. He watches from a distance and plans His timely, visible and epic showdown. The enemies of His people will behold His intervention with awe and wonder as they fear His righteous indignation.

WALKING AMONGST THE GOLDER LAMPSTANDS

The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him and *said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! (John 1:29, BSB)

Then I saw a scroll in the right hand of the One seated on the throne. It had writing on both sides and was sealed with seven seals. (2) And I saw a mighty angel proclaiming in a loud voice, “Who is worthy to break the seals and open the scroll?” (3) But no one in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look inside it. (4) And I began to weep bitterly, because no one was found worthy to open the scroll or look inside it. (5) Then one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep! Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed to open the scroll and its seven seals.”(Revelation 5::1-5, BSBS)

The guiltless sacrifice from Judah’s tribe was the only one found worthy to open the seals of the end-time scroll. Jesus prevailed over the works of evil taking the eternal keys over hell, death and the grave. Our Lord is here characterised as a lamb, meek and defenceless. “He was oppressed and afflicted, yet He did not open His mouth. He was led like a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is silent, so He did not open His mouth.” (Isaiah 53:7. BSB). It is a dichotomy of His character when visualised against His mandate as the fearsome Lion from Judea’s tribe. The fierce mighty Lion would roar against the enemies of God.

Our Lord’s many roles are further transposed as Great High Priest “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high”.(Hebrews 1:3, BSB). and as the Prophet sent from God. “And the crowds were saying, “This is the prophet, Jesus, the One from Nazareth of Galilee.” (Matthew 21:11, BSB) He is also the Great Deliverer of His people to break every chain of captivity and is our Hamashiach Melek ‘King’. “And He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.” (Daniel 7:14, BSB). For on one hand He is Saviour, but also Judge who will mete out the punishment coming to the children of disobedience.

Our Lord is the Overseer of His Church and in Revelation 1 in the vision given to apostle John on the Isle of Patmos, He is seen walking amongst the seven golden lampstands. “This is the mystery of the seven stars you saw in My right hand and of the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.” (Revelation 1:20, BSB)

The significance of walking amongst the lampstands is intended to bring context to His role as ‘Refiner’ to inspect and evaluate the works of His universal Church. The reference to the 7-Churches in the provinces of Asia Minor is a representation of the global Body of Christ. Seven is one of the biblically perfect numbers. We can draw an analogy to the Body of Christ coming under the perfect and complete scrutiny of its works. Everything is laid bare under the probing perfect seven eyes of the Spirit before the throne of God. Every entity is turned over, inside out as the Spirit peruse the full detail of a thing. We can but fall humbly at His feet and release every pain, fear and doubt occupying the mind. All presumptions, folly and sinfulness bringing the spirit of man into captivity is stirred to spiritual consciousness. An emptying of self, unburdening under the weighty revealing Spirit of Truth is forcing global change under the piercing auspices of the eyes of Truth.

The Earthly Priesthood

Aaron served as the High Priest under Moses’ leadership performing his sacred duties in the mobile tabernacle of the desert church. Aaron was required, as a ritual to light the lamps in the temple twice daily, in the morning and at twilight. Jesus is the Eternal Light, a lamp of the spirit that searches the dark recesses of the tabernacle in the hearts of sinful men. The church being the collective group of believers Is under inspection by the probing eyes of Truth. Our Lord sits as the Refiner of the 7-fold heat to purify His people, His Beloved Bride. His endearing love towards His people causes our Lord to move on our behalf to flood our dark regions with the brilliance of the New Covenant temple light. Glorious and searching it reveals everything that is to be known. Even those thoughts, feelings and actions not yet come into the realm of reality are seen and exposed on the radar of eternal knowledge, We are eternally known by the Spirit of God.

Under the Law the once yearly Day of Atonement was significant for the smearing of blood on the horns of the Altar. “Then he shall go out to the altar that is before the LORD and make atonement for it. He is to take some of the bull’s blood and some of the goat’s blood and put it on all the horns of the altar. “ (Leviticus 16:18, BSB) On this sacred day the High Priest would consecrate himself to go into the Most Holy Place to atone for the sins of the people. “Once a year Aaron shall make atonement on the horns of the altar. Throughout your generations he shall make atonement on it annually with the blood of the sin offering of atonement. The altar is most holy to the LORD.” (Exodus 30:10, BSB)

Survival of the Fittest

The horns being a depiction of heaven’s Pascal Lamb, Jesus was a symbol of the strength of an animal. These creatures are by nature hardwired to fight for territories, to secure a mate and strive for survival. These three survival symbols are relevant also to human beings. They are tied up in the ability of all species to seek-out and adapt to survive at all cost. Survival is hardwired into the ability of species to avoid extinction. Survival is an inherent characteristics of the human spirit. Not only do we fight for existence physically but also spiritually. Unique to the human species is the eternal makeup. 3-part of mind, spirit and soul. Only 1-part of our make-up is finite and degradable. We are therefore driven to fight for dominance and to survive at many levels of our existence

We are encouraged by Apostle Timothy to fight the good fight of our faith and in so doing we gain the strength and endurance to be inheritors of eternal life. The spiritual walk is as an obstacle race. “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off every encumbrance and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with endurance the race set out for us. (2) Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. (Hebrews 12:1-2, BSB) As we strive for spiritual dominance, fitness and excellence in the face of our Lord we are able to pass on the baton of salvation to many others coming up behind us. Our faith will be culminated in our Lord one day, until then we are to diligently strive for the preserving qualities found in our Lord. The strength of endurance, fortitude and the ability to stay the spiritual course is found on the altar of sacrifice under the radiance of the eternal temple light. “The LORD is God; He has made His light to shine upon us. Bind the festal sacrifice with cords to the horns of the altar” (Psalms 118:27, BSB).

7-Branched Menorah

The menorah is used mainly in Judaism worship. It is highly significant in Jewish life as a symbol of the Mosaic order. It is mentioned in Exodus 25:31-40. Hebrew ‘menorah means ‘lamp’.that burnt in the temple of Jerusalem day and night. The eternal representation is that of our Lord, the Eternal Light burning in the fleshy tabernacles. The Eternal Light penetrates as a piercing beam into regions in a dark world. The menorah light was first lit in the mobile tabernacle and then in the Temple in Jerusalem. The menorah looks like a clumsy 7-fingered hand. One cannot overlook the 7-fold light as the perfect light found in Jesus the Spirit of Light. “…and among the lampstands was One like the Son of Man,” (Revelation 1:13, BSB). “…and His eyes were like a blazing fire” (Revelation 1:14, (BSB). We are in the season of the completion, and fullness of all things.

It is a time of purification as the Spirit of Truth purge His Church and present it ready for His return. The Bride of Christ is making herself ready for the grand meeting with the Bridegroom. .

The menorah was hammered out of pure gold. Gold denotes divinity. .The Church is being beaten to expel impurities so that we come out of this season as pure gold. As we go through the press, the pure virgin oil is released. Oiled under this flow we become a quality of tabernacle worshippers in readiness for the glory that is to come. In Revelation 8:3-4. the Holy Incense on the Altar of God in the heavens, represented the prayers of the faithful saints. The incense is thought to be the representation of Jesus as the Atonement for sin. In Psalms 141:2 , David declared, ‘let my prayer be set as incense before you’. The wafting aroma would pervade the air and rise before a thankful Lord who takes pleasure in the offerings of His faithful children.

A Spiritual Problem

As our Lord walks amongst His Church the seven eyes of Truth searches out our innermost place of worship. Deep in the recesses of the heart His beam of perfection reveals the hidden depths of the murky heart. The mantle of truth stirs up the labyrinth of the deceitful heart to shift the debris, silt and corruption that sin has deposited. The Spirit of Truth will turn over an order and set up another order that will meet His specification. Even the First Temple artefacts had to be built according to the precise measurements as divinely commissioned. Jesus said, ‘ I will build my Church and the gates of hell shall not stand against it’. The gates of hell indicates the war being waged against the righteous Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God and its righteous works is within man. The gates of hell is indicative of the attacks assigned against humankind. It is the devil’s aim to entrap and destroy vulnerable souls who are prone to erring and deviating from truth.

The current Body of Christ has without doubt moved away from the timely instructions of the Lord, the Overseer of His Church. However well intentioned we are, and I believe the true saints are wonderful people, we have veered off track into religion. An inherent predisposition to improvise and hack on with a substitute belies our flawed make-up. In the Garden of Eden, Adam and his wife on realising that they were exposed as their spiritual eyes were opened, sewed together fig leaves to cover themselves. They could not have known that the exposure was a spiritual problem. They had come into the knowledge of spiritual truth that there is a realm of evil and they would now have to discern between good and evil. It would have been an uncomfortable revealing of the true state of the self. They required a covering of grace not fig leaves. The covering of the eternal bliss of goodness was removed and they realised their fallen state. Under the New Covenant, the inner tabernacle in the fleshy abode of the deceitful heart is where Yahweh Makom chooses to reside with man in His universe. From this sacred altar the 7-fold eyes of God works to detect and flush out every corruption. Under the auspices of God there is no place in His universe that He is not privy too. We are not our own but we belong to God.

We think we are our own but every human soul belongs to God even when we choose to exert our free will over the will of God and confess atheism and non-faith. Those decisions will not separate you from a loving Father as the Spirit woo the rebellious heart into His will.

ANOINTED FOR SERVICE

A Prophecy of Jesus

There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of lJesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit. (Isaiah 11:1, ESV)

It was from the humble household of Jesse that Israel’s earthly king, chosen by God would emerge. From this Davidic lineage, a root from the stump of Jesse, our Messiah King would also, in the fullness of time come. The majestic and noteworthy reign of David would, in the passage of time be long faded and assigned to the pages of the Chronicles of Kings in Jewish history. Many centuries later what was foretold of the rightful eternal Messiah King came to past. Jesus was born into a lowly Jewish family. He did not emerge into any of the grandeur of past royal households nor did He benefit from any of the trappings from the Courts of King David. Jesus was an enigma, a symbol of a lowly suffering servant. Misunderstood and rejected by humankind He moved ominously against the course of temple life, always at odds with the leaders. “He was despised and rejected by mankind, “a man of suffering, and familiar with pain. Like one from whom people hide their faces he was despised, and we held him in low esteem” (Isaiah 53:3).

His eternal Kingly mission was to set up His Kingdom reign in the hearts of men. It was a strategic mandate to reconcile mankind back to God the Father. The eternal blood covenant would necessitate the sacrificing of our Lord, heaven’s Pascal Lamb. Though docile and willing, the time would come when our Lord would rise in His Kingly authority to destroy the opposers of His Kingdom rule. “He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth and slay the wicked with the breath of His lips.” (Isaiah 11:4, BSB). His Messianic authority would shatter kings and bring to ruin the lineage of ruthless mighty kingdoms intent on destroying the Testimony of Jesus. The prophecies concerning our Lord’s earthly mandate came to pass as He read the scrolls handed to Him in the temple. He announced His mission to redeem, deliver and heal His people. “The Spirit of the Lord is on Me, because He has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to release the oppressed,” (Luke 4:18, BSB)

Chosen By God

Now the LORD said to Samuel, “How long are you going to mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem, for I have selected from his sons a king for Myself.”

Here we have the account of Samuel the prophet sent to the house of Jesse in Bethlehem, to consecrate him and his sons who were invited to a banquet, as directed by the Lord. The rejection of King Saul would make way for David, enabling the fulfilment of the prophecy concerning Jesus’ heritage coming out of Jessie’s ancestral root. “Then a shoot will spring up from the stump of Jesse, and a Branch from his roots will bear fruit.” (Isaiah 11:1, BSB). King Saul was never God’s choice but he was anointed on the demands made by the people of Israel for a king. Israel was a nation without an earthly king. They demanded to be like the surrounding nations with their kings and God permitted them King Saul..

Long before this scene is played out in Jesse’ house, God had determined that David would be the first king of His choice over Israel. Saul was a substitute-king occupying a position in the meantime. God makes it clear that David was His choice to look over His people. He loved David’s heart as he lovingly watched over and cared for his father’s sheep. The qualities that God looks for in the heart of His chosen servant is not always seen or appreciated by others. In fact, it is usually those very qualities that causes other to show contempt and jealousy towards that chosen individual.

The Flask of Oil

“Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head and kissed him and said, “Has not the Lord anointed you to be prince over His people Israel? And you shall reign over the people of the Lord and you will save them from the hand of their surrounding enemies.” (1 Samuel 10:1, ESV).

The anointing oil used to anoint Saul flowed from a flask. The Hebrew word (H6378) ‘pak’ gives us a ‘vial’ or ‘flask’. The original word of ‘pak’ comprises the Hebrews letters ‘Kaph’ and ‘Pey’. To bring a broader context to ‘flask or vial’, let us briefly unpack these two letters. ‘Kaph’ is the 11th letter of the Hebrew Alphabet with a numerical value of 20. Firstly, 20 biblically is a completion or fulfilment of a period. Usually it can denote the end of suffering or a tested period. For Israel, the time of being without a king being mocked by the hostile nations was ending. It was a season of national transition. ’Kaph’ also means ‘palm-grip’ or better explained, to be in the palm of God’s hand. Kaph’s reference to a ‘spoon’ indicates to ‘bend over’ in submission and humility to a higher power. The reference to a ‘crown’ offers the idea of ‘kingship’ A carrier of such authority is required to be compassionate and understanding without showing contempt for the people. Further, the position of authority requires reverential fear and submission first to the Eternal God.

‘Pey’. Is the 17th letter of Hebrew gematria with a numerical value of 80 meaning ‘leadership and strength of character’. ‘Pey’ translates ‘mouth’, to ‘pour forth’ or to ‘speak’. It provides us with revelatory knowledge that gives enlightenment . ‘Pey’ is a prophetic letter, hence why in this prophetic decade of ‘Pey’ the world is being transformed by the Spirit of Prophecy. We see in this verse the Spirit of the prophetic ministry at work for Saul. “Then the Spirit of the LORD will rush upon you, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be transformed into a different person. (7) When these signs have come, do as the occasion demands, for God is with you” (1 Samuel 10 6-7, BSB). In the company of the prophesying prophets, Saul was spiritually elevated and transformed by the Holy Spirit. A prophetic impartation in the company of prophesying prophets would change Saul in readiness for his kingly reign. He poured forth from his mouth the prophetic utterances as he was rapturously caught up in the glorious atmospheric transforming experience. There is no higher calling or honour than to be chosen and anointed by God for service. It is to be held in high esteem in a lowly posture of grateful praise and thanksgiving.

The Ram’s Horn of Oil

Strong’s (H7161) ‘qeren’ gives us a ‘horn’. There is also translations of ‘strength’ and ‘might’. A collection of the root letters of ‘Nun’, is ‘Resh’ and ‘Qoph’. ‘Qoph’ is thought to be a foreign translation meaning ‘monkey’. More appropriately it is synonymous with ’falsehood’ or to ‘mimic’. ‘Resh’ means ‘head’ and ‘poverty’. The letter ‘Nun’ enlightens one with ‘kingship, ‘miracle’ and ‘deceit’.

The ram’s horn is called a shofar and is made from a ram or a similar bible animal. Blowing a shofar is associated with Jewish festivals, particularly Rosh Hashanah. At the yearly Feast of Tabernacle the Priests would blow the shofar to signal the commencing of the Festival. . In Bible times the shofar was also sounded on the announcing of a new king. From the collection of words above we see that the horn represents strength and might, The ram’s horns were situated at the altar in the Temple. The ram is a depiction of our Lord denoting His strength and might to deliver His people to overcome the enemy. Jesus our eternal High Priest is the one who anoints for service. The oil is poured out of the Eternal Vessel. A ceaseless emission from a virtuous eternal flow. Temple worshippers longed to reach the altars of God where they would take hold of the horns for strength, an analogy of clinging closely onto our Lord..

Heart of a King

“When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and said, “Surely here before the LORD is His anointed.” “But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or height, for I have rejected him; the LORD does not see as man does. For man sees the outward appearance, but the LORD sees the heart.” (Samuel 16:6-7, BSB)

I believe a learning point can be emphasised from the vessels containing the anointing oil. Vessels of different measure and value were placed in the tabernacle. Under the Law every vessel and temple utensil was consecrated for use. Both King Saul and King David were blessed by anointment. In my understanding I see the vessels of flask and the ram’s horn as drawing a reference to the characters of these two individuals,. As living beings they are vessels being consecrated for God’s service. The Lord said to Samuel that He looked at the heart of a person and not the outward appearance. He who knows the innermost being knows a word before it is uttered. “Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, O LORD.” (Psalms 139:4, BSB)

When Saul was anointed as King of Israel. by the prophet Samuel, he was given precise instructions to be followed in order to be blessed by the company of prophets. Obedience to God’s timely instructions is the key to obtaining the favour for purpose. We are never worthy of what God imparts to us for His service.

Saul was an evil king during his tenure of service. He was fundamentally flawed in his character and it would only be a matter of time when the seeds of disobedience would reap fruits of destruction, affecting the nation’s fragile peace. An account of disobedience to God is recorded in (1st Samuel 28) when Saul failed to annihilate the Amalekites and their possessions as God instructed. The Amalekites were a ruthless evil nation. They had no regard for God and were Baal worshippers with a penchant for prolific indulgence in sorcery. During his kingly tenure, Saul had removed the sorcerers and mediums from the land as God desired. “Now by this time Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had removed the mediums and spiritists from the land.” (1 Samuel 28:3, BSB) Yet it was to sorcery that Saul turned to consult the spirit of Samuel after his death. The releasing mantle that was upon Samuel as Israel’s prophet had a positive nurturing effect on Saul. Bereft of losing Samuel’s influence he sought the services of the sorceress to make contact with the deceased prophet. The practice of consulting the dead was forbidden under the Torah Law.

David however was a man after God’s own heart, yet he was not without sin, failings and weaknesses. What God loved about him was his penitent disposition when he failed God. What I have noted with the chosen servants of God is that their training for service is done facing their daily challenges, long before they are called to God’s service.. David was prepared for purpose looking after his father’s sheep. David, like many other chosen prophets of Israel served faithfully in their family’s businesses. Through their daily, often laborious tasks they learnt to manage resources, work with integrity and develop their character in isolation, drawing on inner strength from their faith.. Under the auspices of God they demonstrated the capacity to serve faithfully. It would set them up for promotion. The state of the heart was pleasing to God to be trusted with serving His people. Spiritual integrity counts and is noted by God. When others cannot see your heart God sees it and is pleased that under challenges and great testing you do not waver. You remain the same person regardless of the challenges faced. Endurance under spiritual challenges brings out the best in you. Spiritual integrity forged in the fire of testing is what God looks for in choosing His servants.

Tying Up The Loose Ends

What do I mean by tying up the loose ends? Well, there has always been a pattern to my dreams. God has not made things complicated in the interpretation of my dreams. Simply because it would be the way He would give me the assurance and confidence to bring about a No.7, strategic end time global prophetic healing ministry. His way with me is incredibly awesome. Tying up loose ends implies alignment to the fullness of the call. As my time bears down on me I have gone through different stages of alignment. In this season, since the ending of Sukkot I have been urged to release dreams that I had over that amazing revelatory decade of ‘Ayin’, They are relevant to what is taking place now, to bring me and many others to a complete and perfect release. It is the Year of Release (Shmita) and therefore the Year of the Lord’s Favour. (Isaiah 61).

Dream – An Impartation

I will now share a dream that I had sometime in 2010/11. It is pertinent for this time as I am exponentially shifting into my full aligning for purpose. There are three scenes to the full dream which I will outline accordingly.

Scene 1:

I was sitting in a confined space behind a platform at a Conference in a Town Hall. I was hidden behind heavy curtains peeping out as I watched Jesus speaking to an audience on a large stage. It was dark in the area where I sat. I then quietly said, ‘Lord when are you going to remember me?’ Immediately as I spoke those words the heavenly being strode across the long stage and reached behind the curtain taking hold of my hand and brought me to the centre of the stage where He stood. As He let go of my hand I fell face down to the floor at His feet. He continued to speak to the sparsely attended group as I laid there. I immediately knew He was saying to me that I should stay at His feet as it was not yet my time of exposure.

Scene 2:

The scene changes and I was seen walking into a make-over studio. I noticed a woman sitting on a long white fleeced bench with no sides. I was ushered to a seat by the make-over attendant and I sat down. The woman sitting on the white fleeced bench turned to me, legs crossed, reclining on her arms and mockingly said, ‘Your sitting in the wrong seat.’ She proceeded to threw back her head and laughed at me. I then realised how small and uncomfortable the hard red leather chair with high back and sides was. The seat was tight and I felt blocked in. It was very confined as I tried to shift myself into a comfortable position. The woman that was making me over, on hearing the spiteful retort in the other woman, said to me, ‘Don’t you worry Gwendolyn, you stay just where you are and I am going to make you over.’ ‘Everything is going to be alright’.

Scene 3:

The scene changes and I was now leaving the make over parlour, made over with change of clothes, new hair-do and confidently making strides back to a Conference Hall. I walked into the grand foyer that was light, bright and spacious. The Conference setting was a contrast to the dark Town Hall where I first met Jesus. My eyes were immediately drawn to Jesus who was walking up a grand ballroom type stairs. There were a few male leaders following Him up the stairs. As I walked across the foyer smiling, it was as if Jesus knew I had returned to the Conference Hall. In that moment He looked back at me and did a full turn around at the top of the stairs. Immediately, in an effortlessly flowing motion, He made His way down the long stairs and moved hastily across the foyer floor to me. The men remained on the stairs watching intently. What my spirit was being fed was that the leaders were desiring something from Him. They wanted something that He had. Jesus flowed over to me and I was struck at the glow and serenity on His face. He was heavenly and smiled as our eyes were fixed on each other. He stood in front of me and slowly, and deliberately He drew up every ounce of breath in Him and slowly, intentionally He blew everything into me. It was impactful and awesome as I lingered in His presence.

Dream Thoughts::

I am convinced that the urgency and compelling way in which I was required to write this blog indicates to me that I am in the moment of God’s divine favour. I am being released into my long awaited purpose. God has watched over my night of departure from this place of waiting. The ‘out of Egypt’ deliverance promised me in 2015 is about to break into its fullness. It has been the loneliest and most misunderstood journey one could ever travel. i can now appreciate that this strategic mantle was for the end-time’s New Order, hence the timing. There are no words to describe the last ten years of testing and preparation for purpose. The anointing for service is upon me and however God chooses to release and favour me, it will be taking place now.

TWO VALLEY EXPERIENCES

“As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.” (Psalms 84:6

“On the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Beracah, where they blessed the LORD. Therefore that place is called the Valley of Beracah to this day.” (2 Chronicles 20:26, BSB)

Preface

Nearing the season of Pentecost 2019 I was led to write a book entitled ‘A Bloody Scene’. After many mornings being downloaded with information, I asked, ‘Is this another book, Lord? ’ My spirit was fed that this was indeed so. It was my breakthrough book. What I have come to appreciate is the way in which the Spirit urges me to write and publish a book. I am always informed by the Spirit when to commence writing after many weeks of being aroused from sleep inundated with what I am required to pour forth. Once the book is written and published it remains actively stirring the spiritual atmosphere to accomplish what God has given me. After a period of time actively shifting the spiritual atmosphere, in the case of ”A Bloody Scene” it has now been two years, I am then given the next key to align to the victory.

I am now been Spirit-led to release updated excerpts of the book. This level of timely obedience leads me into the next phase of my spiritual journey. It is the mode operandi of the Spirit, and the only way in which God has dealt with me to bring about this strategic end time call. There is no doubt or wavering in me as full alignment to my divine purpose comes into the realm of reality through obedience when I write. It is truly remarkable. My prophetic experiential journey of faith with God has left me secured to write as I trust Him. He is consistent with me and therefore inspires the confidence needed, as the spiritual backlash that comes on the release of a book is real. His divine protection and assurances have produced in me a resilient approach to life and I just get on with it. The season of alignment to restoration and breakthrough into the fullness of my long awaited purpose is here. I am now being Spirit-urged to briefly throw a little revelatory light on the contents of that book for full breakthrough.

The book entails how two polarised valley experiences, when drawn together elicits spiritual qualities that are relative.. Traversing the Baca Valley of weeping into the Beracah Valley of blessings would be the routes destined for me to recovery the spoils from a protracted and ferocious spiritual battle. It was a very public and uncomfortable lived-experience but my spirit informs me that what is to come will be worth the unimaginable discomforts levelled at me.

Baca – ‘Weeping’

“As they pass through the Valley of Baca, they make it a place of springs; even the autumn rain covers it with pools.” (Psalms 84:6, BSB)

From the writer’s imaginary account of Psalms 84, one can extrapolate meaning to their own spiritual journey of faith. The illustrations of the experiences of the Baca Valley travellers brings context to the lonely walks of life that we may encounter in deep terrains of faith. Although they are very distinct valley experiences, from weeping to blessings, there is progression. You cannot elicit spiritual blessings without the testing of your faith. One can derive parallels of spiritual growth and development from these seasonal journeys of faith. If they endure the fight.

Strong’s (H1056), ‘Baka’ is translated as ‘weeping’. The original Hebrew word is ‘Baka’, and is formed of four letters. The letter ’Kaph’, means ‘Palm of hand’. Its bowed over letter-design speaks of humility, a posture to offer worship to God.. What I have derived in my thoughts is that it is undeniably a representation of Jesus our Great High Priest who leans-in to hear the faintest cry as He lovingly watches over His people . The only fitting response for humankind is to fall penitently at His feet. ’Behold, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are ever before Me. (Isaiah 49:16, BSB). Isaiah is here prophesying of Jerusalem’s restoration. Although the city would periodically lay in ruin because of sinfulness, yet God would keep watch over its desolate state to rebuild, restore and fortify it against its enemies. How much more precious are the seekers of His glory to experience His divine restoration and healing?.

‘Resh’, speaks of Jesus as ‘Head, Teacher, Redeemer and Deliverer.’ “The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14, BSB). He refreshes and renews our strength in the heat of life’s walk. As the Great Deliverer, He goes before His people to fight our battles. His discerning eye searches out all things. The piercing revelatory beam of insight moves into the spiritually empty depths of the human soul. He uncovers the true condition of the troubled heart to bring understanding and the wisdom to discern the will of God for healing. The eternal revelatory light floods the naked inner being that is void of spiritual worth. Jesus as Protector of His people lovingly covers us in His righteous affirmation.

‘Mem’ means ‘King of Water’ and in old Hebraic writings it refers to ‘Yahweh Makom, the Place’. In my basic understanding, as I write I see ‘Baca’ as giving meaning to all that represents the Eternal Godhead. I am here moved to give spontaneous unfettered worship as I write. My spirit is being reminded that everything in life comes back to the Eternal One. The essence of Jewish ancestry and this nation’s footprint on humanity is essentially about ‘Yahweh Makom’. Yahweh Makom is the ‘Place’, the eternal source of the springs of knowledge, the water of life and the eternal path to the after life. “How lovely is Your dwelling place, O LORD of Hosts! (2) My soul longs, even faints, for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.” *Psalms 84:1-2, BSB)

Finally, ‘Ayin’, gives us revelation, discernment and prophetic understanding. It is a word of spiritual insight that gives revelatory wisdom through the Spirit of Truth. Interestingly ‘Ayin’ can also mean ‘nothingness’. I perceive this understanding as essential to hearing from the Spirit. An acknowledgement that the starting point of divine wisdom is that we have nothing to offer our Lord in exchange for His wisdom. “We tear down arguments and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:5, BSB)

The two valley experiences, though they appear diametrically opposed as a place of ‘weeping’ and a place of ‘blessings’, yet they are inextricably linked. The emotive experiences of sorrow and joy would cause one’s tears to flow. Tears would be shed passing through these two valleys because the experiences would be drawn out of one’s deep reservoir of emotions. The tears of a weary seeker for God’s deliverance would soaked into the dry and dusty valley tracks to sodden and create pools of water. The writer draws the reader into the imaginary scene being set. The copious tears of ardent worshippers, weeping as they make their way to Zion. Is the reality. The Baca Valley being likened to one’s lived experiences of endurance and grit to overcome personal struggles. The test to endure the challenges on a spiritual journey is as real as travellers making their way through the rough geographical tracks in the Baca Valley. Waiting on God may at times seem as hope being deferred. Just keep pressing in as you draw down on the Lord’s strength. Borne up by the Spirit, your inner reservoir of faith will keep flowing with expectancy. Keep trusting and believing that God will come through for you, regardless of the low ebbs along the way. He is not a man that He should lie so keep moving.

The Veil of Sorrow

In the Baca Valley the tears of your pain, mingled with the joy of making it into the presence of God is a satisfying expectation. The sojourners looked to the joy that was set before them. What our spiritual eyes behold far outweigh the discomforts experienced. An abiding trust in the Deliverer makes one unashamedly resilient on exhausting journeys of faith. Such levels of stoicism and singleminded approaches, elicits the reward that awaits one after the long trek. The longing for the joy makes the weary travellers keep the promise of God’s deliverance foremost in their hearts. They would continue to push forward to reach the temple in Jerusalem for worship. Pressing through the veil of the flesh, the bodily discomforts of sorrow and pain to obtain the desired effects for breakthrough and victory is above all else. Passing through the dry dusty paths of your Baca Valley, the intensity of the spiritual fight is an experience that releases ceaseless tears from the burdened and troubled spirit. If the waters should be measured it would be seen as deep pools watering the parched grounds of your life.

In the Baca Valley the balsam trees are a distinctive feature. The overspreading leaves provide shaded areas in the heat of the valley. It is also thought that the teardrops of the sojourners resembles the sap that trickles down the bark of the balsam tree congealing into teardrop shaped droplets. The steady flow of tears can be likened to the sticky resin trickling down the bark. The imaginary pools of water is as a life flow that brings transformation. Water transforms dry regions as its streams refreshes, equally when we release tears and pour out from within, spiritual strengthening takes place. Tears are a language that God understands because to cry is a healing release. The outpouring from a heavy heart brings relief and revives one in those lonely places of personal challenges.

(3) “Even the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she places her young near Your altars, O LORD of Hosts, my King and my God. (4) How blessed are those who dwell in Your house! They are ever praising You.” (Psalms 84: 3-4, BSB). Making it to Jerusalem for worship was a customary requirement for worshippers under the Mosaic Law. On reaching the temple the sojourners would take hold of the horns at the altar signifying drawing on the strength of our Lord. The ram’s horn is a depiction of strength. Under the New Covenant of grace, weary sojourners of the faith earnestly fall at the feet of our Lord and unburden unashamedly. it would appear that the writer of the Psalm focuses on the environmental and geographical challenges encountered by the Baca Valley sojourners. Today, the many obstacles and distractions of modern living poses challenges for christians to make it into the presence of our Lord.

Be assured that your tears are measured by God. He is faithful and just to bring a fitting end to your life experiences. To earnestly supplicate and linger in His presence speaks of expectancy and faith. There is expressed thankfulness as the victory over the enemy is experienced. There can be no joyous victory over the enemies of God until one has warred over and fought in isolation. It is at the place of deep supplication that victory is procured, crushed as our Lord as He poured out in the Garden of Gethsemane. We bear fruits of righteousness through the seasons of waiting in uncomfortable and isolated places.

Beracah – ‘Blessings’

‘Barak’ is a root word and it means to ‘bless’. From that root word we get translations including ‘Berachah’, meaning ‘springs, pools of water’. Strong’s (H 1293 Berakah) gives ‘a blessing’. Clearly, there are similar threads running through this word ‘Beracha’ that correlates with Baca.

The theme of 2 Chronicles 20, is that of King Jehoshaphat of Judah being confronted with the unsettling news that three vast hostile armies were making their way against his country. King Jehoshaphat would be listed in the Chronicles of the Kings as one of Judah’s good kings that instilled worship in the people. Although he did not tear down fully the idols of pagan worship. However, from a state level he led his people into worship unto God. On learning of the escalating situation against his borders he sought guidance from the Lord. It warranted a national approach for God’s intervention. “Jehoshaphat was alarmed and set his face to seek the LORD. And he proclaimed a fast throughout Judah.(4) So the people of Judah gathered to seek the LORD, and indeed, they came from all the cities of Judah to seek Him.” (2 Chronicles 20:3, BSB)

King Jehoshaphat recounted the historical relationship that the forefathers of Israel had with God in a covenant promise. “Our God, did You not drive out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel and give it forever to the descendants of Abraham Your friend?  (8 They have lived in the land and have built in it a sanctuary for Your Name, saying,  (9 ’If disaster comes upon us—whether sword or judgment, plague or famine—we will stand before this temple and before You, for Your Name is in this temple. We will cry out to You in our distress, and You will hear us and save us* (2 Chronicles 20:7-9, BSB). Jehoshaphat expected that God would deliver them as He did their forefathers. A national proclamation for fast was decreed.

Bond of evil

“Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.” (Ecclesiastes 4:12, NIV)

Three national spirits of bonded evil, encamped against Judea could be likened to a 3-way knot. They were undoubtedly a bond of wickedness.. King Jehoshaphat knew the God of his ancestors. The people of God could recall past territorial warfares with hostile neighbours. The same God who was able to deliver in previous generation was well able to fight and win this battle. A word from the prophet Jahaziel would give them success. “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 “ (v15). The battle strategy was given from heaven to go against the enemies as they come up the Ascent of Ziz and to let the worshippers go before the army singing praises.

The Valley of Ziz is a pass between the Dead Sea and Jerusalem. Strong’s (H6732. ‘Tsits’ gives us ‘Ascent of Ziz’ and the Hebrew letters ‘Tsadhe’ and ‘Yodh’ gives an insight into the word origins. I have derived a basic understanding of ‘Tsadhe’ signifying the righteousness of God. An omniscient God is the silent witness in any given situation. He knows the hearts of humankind and is therefore righteous in His summation of judgement. ‘Yodh’ speaks of the might and strength of God over what may appear small and insignificant.

It was in this mountainous region that there would be a showdown between God and His enemies. Indeed Judah would have no need to fight because the spirits of chaos and betrayal would be unleashed amongst the invaders, devoting them to self destruction. Their audacious move against God’s people would be the undoing of their bond of evil. Obeying God’s instructions, given to the prophet Jahaziel was all that was required of them to obtain the victory. “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..” (v17,BSB). Worship unto the Eternal One secured a nation’s peace.and ensured border security. “Then Jehoshaphat bowed facedown, and all the people of Judah and Jerusalem fell down before the LORD to worship Him. (19) And the Levites from the Kohathites and Korahites stood up to praise the LORD, the God of Israel, shouting in a very loud voice.” (v18-19, BSB).

He is the same God, yesterday, today and tomorrow. God uses the weak and insignificant things to confound the mighty. Judah was a small nation compared to many of its neighbours but they had recourse to the mighty resources of heaven at their disposal. As long as they sought God’s help and await a strategy from heaven to go into battle they were guaranteed victory. On this momentous occasion, King Jehoshaphat led worship bowing his face to the ground and the people in turn fell to the ground. The Levites as worshippers led the praises-offering as they set off for the battle front, lifting up Yahweh’s Name,

An epic slaughter ensued before Judah arrived. Judah beheld the great vanquishing of three mighty armies as they walked amongst the bloody scenes of utter devastation, picking up the spoils of war over three days. After blessing the Lord for His mighty deliverance they made their way to Jerusalem triumphantly. “Then all the men of Judah and Jerusalem, with Jehoshaphat at their head, returned joyfully to Jerusalem, for the LORD had made them rejoice over their enemies. (28) So they entered Jerusalem and went into the house of the LORD with harps, lyres, and trumpets.” (2 Chronicles 20:27-28, BSB)

Worship

I will shake all the nations, and they will come with all their treasures, and I will fill this house with glory, says the LORD of Hosts. (Haggai 2:7, BSB)

Central to our valley experiences is the call to worship. The inextricable link to obtain our blessings from the two valley experiences requires deep levels of supplication and worship. Deep calls unto deep as the appeal of the Spirit to the human spirit is to worship. The thirsty seekers in the Psalms were worshippers resolute in making their way to the tabernacle. The call to worship is from within . The bidding of the Spirit within New Covenant worshippers is to give priority to the things of God lifting up His worthy Name. The Spirit-call to worship is at the heart of our being. It is a compelling and moving experience as the Spirit-bidding to worship takes place. Our spirit longing to be in the presence of our Lord is urgent in the thirsty hearts seeking to be refreshed and vivified in the eternal flow. The Spirit evokes a spiritual-drive within us to thirst after our Lord. The giving of one’s self to the gentle wooing of the Spirit Is the prelude to deep meaningful worship. The incessant bidding of the Spirit brings receptivity in the heart Ito yield willingly to the worship-call. Freely one enters into the tender loving embrace of our Lord Jesus. The deep longing for intimacy takes place with expressive reciprocating desires.

“Weeping may stay the night, but joy comes in the morning.” (Psalms 30::5, BSB). The silent world of our most inner being elicits a grateful response as we willingly move in agreement with the Spirit to pour out all. The burdened heart gushes forth its overflow from the heavy spirit. The deep emotional lows quickly peaks as the sunshine of God’s love and tender-heartedness, like the rays of the blazing sun floods through. The heavy burdened spirit dissipates under such a glorious glow. The brilliance of the presence of Jesus is the Spirit of Light that dispels the darkness. To fall at the feet of our Lord is the position of great victories where our most personal intrinsic needs are divinely met.

GWENDOLYN SMITH. #NEWPENTECOST. 4 OCTOBER 2021

TIMELINE OF A STRATEGIC PROPHETIC HEALING CALL

Throughout my prophetic journey it has been just simple instructions given that I have followed that has led me to this juncture of faith. I do not share my day to day experiential faith journey to any great extent because I know it is hard for others to comprehend what it has taken spiritually, emotionally, physically and mentally to he endowed with an end time strategic 7-fold healing and restoration mantle. It is fearfully humbling and unless God has chosen you for this level of operation, like the sons of Sceva, you would be quickly set upon, lashed and destroyed by the enemy to even contemplate such levels of authority. “Eventually, one of the evil spirits answered them, “Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?” Then the man with the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all. The attack was so violent that they ran out of the house naked and wounded.” (Acts 19:15-16, BSB). You must be chosen by God, called to the office and sent to the nations for the assignment against 7-fold evil.

I have just come out of Sukkot with the urge upon me to put out a brief timeline of the timely, convincing and reassuring ways in which God has given me spiritual keys and instructions for the Asia Minor assignment. The word for the 7-Fold Churches is one for strategic alignment to see this group, and global persecuted religious groups come to spiritual maturity for the Rapture of the saints. What my Spirit has fed me over the years since the revelation, ‘I want you to establish it in a conference in the place of the 7-fold churches’ was given, is that the work of restoration and healing will undoubtedly raise up the former foundation, the root of apostle John’s stirring and prolific ministry that tormented the Roman authorities.

The Testimony of Jesus would cost apostle John’s freedom as penal punishment, isolated to the barren coastal isle of Patmos, as a convict to do hard labour was served upon him. John was Jesus’ favourite apostle. Jesus entrusted His mother to him so she could be looked after as His departure from this world was imminent. “When Jesus saw His mother and the disciple whom He loved standing nearby, He said to His mother, “Woman, here is your son.” (27) Then He said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” So from that hour, this disciple took her into his home.” (John 19:26-27, BSB)

The Alevi people are an ardent group of believers who love Jesus. ‘How do I know that? ‘ God placed me amongst this significant group when he brought me to a ministry property in a strong community of Turkish immigrants living in London. The divine connections made amongst this significant group would eventually have inroads into learning about them and their faith in God. What is unique about this group is that they have remained collectively isolated from the global christian community. Historically they are distant from Islam and have continued to hold views that they are evidently remnants of the early apostolic crusaders. They are unashamedly passionate about Jesus, even receiving christian baptisms. As I write I am just overwhelmed with excitement. I can feel the stirring of the releasing mantle. I just want to run, skip and dance for the joy and empowerment coming to the collective global persecuted believers. If God is for them who can stand against them? No evil powers can resist this next move of God. It will be awesome and evidently the trigger to bring the current Body of Christ into Kingdom alignment. The current Body of Christ will have to stand back graciously and watch this impactful reunion as the Spirit bring things to fruition. My eyes are welling up with joy for the love I feel for God’s spiritually estranged people.

‘Come With Me’ Invitation – A Timeline

It was after Passover 2020 as the world was waking up to the deadly virus unfolding that I was instructed by the Spirit to put out a ‘Come With Me’ Invitation. The request, so simply conveyed could easily have been overlooked as being of no consequence. But it was met with excitement. When the Spirit gives me an instruction I know it is of God because a level of empowerment to accomplish that task is given to me. Without even giving it a second thought I set about realising it. Sometimes we are accustomed to looking for answers or solutions in the voice of thunder and the roar of the Spirit. But no, it can be the still small voice of a whisper, breathed in the attentive ear that excites and moves one to action the bidding of the Spirit. Such close intimacy with our Lord in the realm of faith, reassures and ensures you do not miss what is being divulged.

Immediately, as the ‘Come with Me’ Invitation was breathed to me, the Spirit linked it with a dream I had several times as a child, and the scripture I heard was ‘Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.’ (1 Corinthians 11:1, JKV). I was moved with excitement as a scriptural reference to my Spirit-given number 111, indicating a substantial presence of the Godhead being with me, came up yet again. Throughout my journey the Spirit number 111 given to me has featured in scriptural references pertaining to the call. It is amazing people. Really!. I do not look for the number but it crops up at those reassuring times to bolster me up in faith on such a lonely, unbelievingly tiring journey. I will now share the dream that the Spirit linked to the ‘Come With Me’ Invitation..

The Dream: The Piped Piper of Hamelin

This Germanic folklore tells of a piper luring rats away from Hamelin, a town that is overrun with them. The piper played an alluring tun and captivatingly he draw the rats away with him from the town. The tale concludes with a twist of vindication. The mayor of the town did not pay the piper for his services to rid the place of the rats and so he decided to play the beautiful captivating tune to lure the children out of the town, following him away to another place. He began playing his tune and the children skipped and danced, following him out of the town, I believe to a beautiful paradise. The folks were bereft with grief at the absence of their children. Hamelin became a place without a spirit. The joy, laughter of children ceased. The innocence of their presence, and the sounds of child-like chatter, playing and seeing them active in the life of the homes and community came to an abrupt and eerie end.

The dream I had was of me playing a flute, flying high above the earth over hills and mountains, joyous as throngs of people of all nations followed me through the atmosphere. It was the most beautiful day, not a cloud in the sky. The endless throng, a multitude of people were just coming, coming, coming as they emerged over the distant horizon. As far as my eyes could behold it was a sea of happy people, singing, laughing, praising God in their mother tongue and clapping their hands. Each time I turned my head to look behind, the unending stream of people, a global parade of nations kept coming over the horizon. It was electric.

During the early summer months after Pentecost/Shavuot 2020, the Spirit provided me with this key scriptural frame for the ‘Come With Me’ Invitation . “On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.” (John 7:37, BSB). Over the summer of 2020, I continued to post the developing instructions regarding the urgency of the Invitation. It was as we approached Rosh Hashanah 2021 that the Spirit began to bring context to the importance of the Invitation and the next move of God.

It is spiritually relative to the outpouring of the #NewPentecost Spirit move that is coming for this end time. The imminent flow from under the threshold of the tabernacle was Spirit-given, referencing the inflow of the gentile nations coming to the living flow and the Body of Christ being refreshed and vivified in the torrential end time overflow. The significance of the Jewish Festival, Sukkot with the scripture (John 7:37), cannot be overstated. It was at the Feast of Tabernacle (Sukkot) that Jesus cried out, inviting the thirsty worshippers to come and drink of Him. “On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.” (John 7:37, BSB).

Thirsty Worshippers

The current Body of Christ could be liken to the thirsty worshippers requiring a refreshing in the spirit. A merciful God has patiently used me to appeal to the people of God. The time is wrapping up for a Spirit shift into what is imminent. My heart is poured out in grief at the spiritual veil covering the people of God in religion. It would appear many organisations are consumed with their niche, guarding their corner with indifference and lacking discernment and revelatory insight to what the Spirit is saying to the collective Church. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” (Revelation 2:11, BSB). The hardness of hearing in the Spirit, prevalent amongst the people of God will cause God to do a memorable and convincing work amongst the new intake of end time saints. This next move of God will cause those who are disconnected and stiff-necked to humbly repent and cast their idols down and become Spirit-led worshippers. The first will be last and the last will be first as a reversal of the Church order is ushered in. A merciful God will humble His people so their thirst can be abated in the refreshing streams flowing under the threshold of the altar.

A Prophetic Journey – A Timeline

Today, as we come to the ending of Sukkot 2021, I am being given yet further instructions. I will present what my spirit is urging in terms of the timely journey. I will only record some of the key aspects of the prophetic timeline as deemed necessary.

YEAR AND ASSIGNMENT

2005/6 God sent me to Jamaica, away from every daily distractions in my hectic life. Under the discipline of fasting and in His presence I humbly submitted myself to received what was prepared for me. His word to me was that I was called as a prophet to the nations. Many other things regarding the prophetic healing call was divulged to me.

December 2010: My life was suddenly turned over. Things would never be the same again.

November 2011: After Sukkot I was instructed to purchase a ministry building.
Many spiritual attacks and challenges ensued over that property. It was a hellish encounter.
Jeremiah 1:10 given to me to war over the property for this strategic call. God would remove it out of the hands of evil conspirators and restore me into my rightful place.

2012:
After Sukkot – The Revelation was given to me regarding the 7-Fold Churches of Asia Minor. ‘I want you to establish it in a conference in the place of the 7-fold churches’.

2013:
Passover – I was instructed to do a 3-day fast for the building to receive Spirit-information.
After the 3 days’ fast, God revealed the strong witchcraft over the building. Keys were given how to war and repossess my inheritance. Pentecost – A Mayoral invitation was given me to attend a Conference in Turkey for World Peace Day, Istanbul. September – Left UK for the Conference trip to Turkey.
The trip brought me into a strong Alevi community in Istanbul. Invited to speak at the Conference as the only out of nation representative. Shared a platform with many wonderful religious leaders- Coptic Orthodox leaders, Rabbis, Muslim leaders. God had opened a great and effectual door – a ‘dry-run’ for what is to come.

2014:
Passover – Dreams indicating the building would be violently taken for a short period.
Pentecost – The building was violently taken from me and God revealed the conspirators behind the evil. God reassured me to keep moving and to keep trusting Him.

2015: January – Instructed to Write. 7 books have resulted from that prophetic request.

2016: Just before Sukkot – Books are published.

2017:
Passover – Instructed to develop the training arm of the Ministry. Courses, manuals etc.
Pentecost – Instructed to visit the sites of the 7 Churches of Asia Minor, Turkey. Just before Rosh Hashanah 2018 – Left for Turkey to visit the sites of the 7 Churches of Asia Minor. After leaving Turkey, I sailed onto Patmos, Greek Islands. Rested for a few days and then visited the cave it is thought Apostle John had the Revelation of the 7 Churches of Asia Minor.
Back in UK – Spirit-urged to research and pray for Afro-Turks. An isolated group living in Turkey. A remnant of African slaves left behind in Turkey after the abolition of slavery. Many generations later they have little record or history of their African heritage and their indigenous nations.
2018::
Pentecost – Instructed to complete the mission book, ‘The Forgotten Christians of Asia Minor’ and publish it. Instructed to send copies of the book into Turkey.

2019:
Passover – Instructed to write the breakthrough book, ‘A Bloody Scene’.
After Sukkot – A key ministry connection is made.

2020:
Passover – Instructed to put out the ‘Come With Me’ Invitation.
Pre-blog writings commences. Pentecost – Instructed to commence a Prophetic Blog page.
Further developments re ‘Come With Me’ Invitation (John 7:37) . Sukkot – Instructed to begin publication of the breakthrough book ‘A Bloody Scene’

2021:
Passover – A significant ministry connection is made. ‘A Bloody Scene’ book is published.
Pentecost – The Prophetic Blog is now in 143 nations with a consistent growing readership. Exponentially rising towards 25.000. Thank you!
The ministry blueprint of the vision is now ready. Social media sites are being completed.
Sukkot – I am now instructed to put this format of the prophetic timeline out.

The Persecuted Church

What I have received in my spirit for Sukkot 5782 (2022) (Jewish Civil Calendar), regarding the prophetic timeline and the Persecuted Church, I believe I have now been released to share. As we have entered the 7th Sabbatical Year of Release (Shmita), I believe the Spirit-move to write this post is the vehicle to accomplish the vision. I will share a dream I had during Pentecost 2019.

The Dream: Awaiting the Green Light

I was sitting behind the wheel of a long empty train awaiting the green lights in order to proceed along the tracks. The train was stationary at a track-siding junction. Ahead was the traffic lights. The light was green but it was not the usual bright green that indicates ‘go’. It was hazy as though covered with an opaque sheet. I was not led in my spirit to move forward confidently. I decide to proceed slowly with caution, remaining stationary at times.

As I now revisit that dream, what I am seeing in the spirit is a station platform in the distance down the main tracks. I am being updated in the spirit that the train is getting ready to leave the siding tracks junction. I believe the train will shortly be approaching the first station to pick up waiting passengers.

The time has come for the word 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’’, to be ushered into the next phase of God’s leading. This call is watched over jealously by God so that His strategic move to bring persecuted christians and the fresh harvest of souls into the Kingdom fold takes place. The ferocious move of evil against what is about to take place is evident as the world struggles with the aftermath of evil. But out of this evil comes forth the good that will elevate the Name of Jesus.

The Spirit led me to believe and state without any compunction that the Alevi people of Turkey are the root of apostle John’s and his co-crusaders’ ministry of Asia Minor. This word will cause demons to scatter as Jesus shakes the foundations of evil and release His power to bring the spiritual captives out of religious bondage. Persecuted christians are ardent believers of Jesus they just need to be taught the Word and their rightful spiritual heritage.

The mantle has been stirred as I am provoked to write this message and post it on the spiritual airways. I have no fear of any reprisal because it is God’s timely move in the full, perfect and complete ‘kiaros’ moment. There will shortly be a phenomenal move of God for His precious persecuted Ekklesia. Pandemonium and chaos ensues as the gleaming sword of the Word strikes the mouth of perverters of the course of God’s next move in this ‘Year of Release’ for His beloved people.

It was in 2015 that I was Spirit-moved to write the vision for this call. The vision was written in a book entitled, ’The Forgotten Christians of Asia Minor’. Like a jigsaw puzzle, the final pieces of the timeline for this extraordinary strategic healing and restoration call are being positioned for the end time move of God .

GWENDOLYN SMITH. #NEWPENTECOST. 28th SEPTEMBER 2021

THE YEAR OF THE LORD’S FAVOUR

Then Moses commanded them, “At the end of every seven years, at the appointed time in the year of remission of debt, during the Feast of Tabernacles, (Deuteronomy 31:10, BSB)

(Isaiah 61 to be read)

It was after Pentecost/Shavuot 2021 that the Spirit urged me into the Word regarding the prophet Ezra. Dutifully Ezra commenced his part in the resettling and building programme of Israel, reinstating the nation back to normalcy as they began returning to Jerusalem after years in captivity. Ezra, under a compelling volition in his spirit would move in fear and awe to bring the spiritually erring people back to a covenant relationship with God by strategic instilling of the Torah law.

Since the time of Moses, every 7th Sabbatical Year the people would gather in the open square near the Water Gate as the priest would read the Torah law, raised up on a ‘bimah’ platform. After Pentecost/Shavuot 2021, the Spirit also revealed at that time the 7th Sabbatical Year of Release (Shmita). It was the 7th sabbath year when debts were cancelled and the people released from the bonds and captivities they were under.

The yearly Festival of Booths (Feast of Tabernacle), was reminiscent of Israel’s wilderness experiences. A transitory and humbling period of national displacement associated with coming out of Egypt. Lest they should forgot where God had brought them from it would be hardwired into their national memory, communicated and passed from one generation to the other. “You are to celebrate this as a feast to the LORD for seven days each year. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come; you are to celebrate it in the seventh month. “ (Numbers 23:41. BSB). The collective national experiences of this nation during the High Holy Days of Sukkot would require families to leave their homely comforts and hunker down in lowly dwellings as a sacrifice. (42) “You are to dwell in booths for seven days. All the native-born of Israel must dwell in booths, (43) so that your descendants may know that I made the Israelites dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD yourGod.” (Numbers 23:42-43, BSB)

The Tabernacle

The New Covenant of grace brought the spiritual significance of this generational practice into the fleshy parts of the hearts of humankind. No longer was there a need to sit under the instructions of the priest as the letter of the Torah law. is read. The New Covenant of Jesus, the Lawgiver dispensed with the need for rituals, observances and animal blood sacrifices. These practices were made obsolete by the perfect and perpetual blood sacrifice of heaven’s Pascal Lamb. The imperfect earthly priesthood would cease to be the means by which a mediatory process exists between God and man. The hidden veil has been torn away and its imperfections revealed by the blood covenant of Jesus. Our eternal Sabbatical Rest would perpetuate an unending release from the living flow, to refresh, heal, saturate and vivify the weary thirsty hearts of sinful lives.

God’s chosen dwelling place is the heart where He meets with man on His earth. The place of His glory. Under the New Covenant, the covering of the life blood of our Lord, the Crucified One would bring spiritual meaning to this Festival of Booths. An eternal dwelling not made with hands, eternal in the heavens would be the tabernacle of righteousness. An inner tabernacle of the heart to render praise would be the place where El Makon, the God of the place would choose to dwell with His people..

The Threshing Floor

“You are to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor and your winepress.” (Deuteronomy 16:13, BSB)

The joy that comes from celebrating the season’s abundance comes after the toiling ceases. The labour-intensive works undertaken in the spiritual winepress and on the threshing floors of sacrifice releases the favour of the Lord. The sacrifices and struggles worked out in lonely confined spaces procured the grace, bestowed freely and in full generous measure. The reward equates to one’s season of suffering and should not be envied by others. The measure of abundance from the spoils of the battle has been fought by our Lord . He tread the grapes of wrath to procured our justice. The wine poured out from the crushing, like the blood splatter of our enemies brings ecstatic joy of God’s vindication. The season of God’s favour releases the people from every spiritual captivity and freedom from the heavy chains and bonds of wickedness. Come now people, follow me as I follow Jesus. Collectively let us celebrate this 5782 (2022) 7th Sabbatical Year of Release in the overflow of a #New Pentecost that is now imminent. The Year of our Lord’s favour to vindicates His people is here. (1) “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners, (2) to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favour and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn, (Isaiah 61:1-2, BSB).

Jesus is Lord

You can join with me in lifting up the Name of Jesus even before we see the outpouring. Exercise the faith to believe it, speak it and claim it. “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:1, BSB). The blessings of the release now coming to humankind will bring eternal rest from the hard labour is here!. It is yours people, so receive it by faith. The doors in the portals of heaven have been flung open over the whole globe. What a season, people! Our prayers have arrested the demonic forces perpetrating the evil afflicting and tormenting human life. Press in because no devil can resist our Lord as this season’s abundance is poured out. It is done! It is a complete, perfect and full overflow cascading over every obstacle, hindrance, and distress that has stood in your way.

I say to you demon prince, shift your unclean base according to (Zechariah 3:1-2), (1) “Then the angel showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, with Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him. “ (2) “And the LORD said to Satan: ‘The LORD rebukes you, Satan! Indeed, the LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebukes you! Is not this man a firebrand snatched from the fire?” You accuser of the people, the thief, you have been caught. Your time is up in this season of heaven’s release. People, I implore you to glorify our sweet, sweet Jesus as you lift Him up in the holy habitation of your praises.

Jesus is Lord over the evil forces that terrorise the nations. Every principality, kingdom, realm and territory is subject to His sovereign rule. We have been rescued from the destruction of the works of darkness. The stained garments of sin are now removed as the nations turn their hearts to Jesus, the Living One. Now washed by the Word, cleansed by the Blood of Jesus and our filthy garments removed, we are presented to our heavenly Father. Redeemed, we are the firebrands snatched out of the fire of torment and persecution. In this momentous season of the 7th Sabbatical Year of Release, as Sukkot is also known as the Feast of Ingathering, let us celebrate the ingathering into the Kingdom of God, those who have be denied full kingdom rights because of forced state-religion. It was intentional for God’s glory. Our Lord in His divine wisdom permitted the persecuted Church to suffer until this time. They are the firebrands in God’s hands., prepared for this season.

The persecuted saints and the collective end-time harvest are awaiting the #NewPentecost power and empowerment outpouring. They are ready for the New Order. We will not have experienced anything so amazing and impactful as the Holy Spirit enrapture them, surpassing their expectations.

Persecuted christians have eagerly pressed their way to the front seeking Jesus, the man they have heard of. With curiosity and hope they are now gathered in the place chosen by El Makom. When the imminent flow is released, with Spirit-led readiness they will culminate the Kingdom work as the Elect Ekklesia. “They will rebuild the ancient ruins; they will restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities the desolations of many generations. “ (Isaiah 61:4, BSB)

THE REALM OF FAITH

“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6, BSB)

I believe anything is possible when you are Spirit-led to move in the realm of faith. To accomplish kingdom works in these challenging times requires belief in the sovereign rule of our Lord in the universe. “Moses said to him, “When I have left the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD. The thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, so that you may know that the earth is the LORD’s” (Exodus 9:29, BSB. I believe one can be transported to assignments in the earth that by-passes national security restrictions. That is my faith, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who approaches Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.” (Hebrews 11:6, BSB).

In Acts 8, we see Phillip on assignment to minister the Testament of Jesus to the Ethiopian eunuch, a man of diplomatic eminence in Queen Candace’s government. As the eunuch read the portion of scripture in Isaiah, he was left wondering who the writer spoke of. Isaiah had written about the Testimony of Jesus. Directed by the Spirit, Phillip was sent to assist this man who was sitting in his chariot, homeward bound. Phillip was Spirit-ushered into the presence of an earnest seeker. After accomplishing his Spirit-assignment and baptising the eunuch, Phillip was supernaturally transported from his presence and whipped away to Azotus, approximately 20 miles away. “When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, but went on his way rejoicing.” (40) But Philip appeared at Azotus and traveled through that region, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he came to Caesarea. (Acts 8:39-40, BSB)

I believe in the signs, miracles and wonders that will accompany those who will draw on the virtue of Jesus our Lord.

Finding My Identity

It was an immense journey of faith that has led me to this leg of my spiritual journey. In 2015 I received in my spirit that I would receive an ‘out of Egypt’ deliverance to assist me to break into my purpose. At that time every avenue available to me to rebuild myself was closed to me. I was shutdown by the leadership. I was ‘up the creek without a paddle’. I could not make the necessary changes to accommodate the advancement of the call. it would require divine intervention to give me an opening. The collective Church was infected by a lie the enemy made them entertain. Righteous in their own eyes they stood in judgement against me. From my position of brokenness I had to silently watch the charade as church life continued. The emergence of a New Order was Spirit-revealed to me in 2015. It would be an indiscriminate virus affecting the entire globe that would make it possible for a new season to emerge out of the worldwide chaos..

Scribing My Way Out

During the lockdown in Easter 2020 I had a dream that the Church community was on a break and during that break I found my handbag that I had lost. The bag I found was a bright pink one. The dream indicated I had lost my identity. It would be when everything was shutdown that I found my identity. After Pentecost 2020 the Lord urged me to start the Prophetic Blog. The time had come for me to start writing again as the gift in me was provoked in that season. I have never looked back. The Spirit, compelling me to write has ensured I write my way out of spiritual captivity as this Blog continues to open doors for me.

It was plagues destroying Egypt that gave Israel the deliverance out of Egypt. The Egyptians, eager to see the back of Israel was even hurrying them out with silver and gold. In 2011 at the commencement of my spiritual journey this Word was spoken loudly into my spirit as I woke from sleep, “Who has believed our message? And to whom has the arm of the LORD been revealed?’ (Isaiah 53:1, BSB). There is no doubt this prophetic call could not gain traction in a church environment. Coursing my way through the realm of faith would be the means by which i would come forth by a phenomenal ‘out of Egypt’ move of God.

Destroying The Religious Spirit

It was a stirring mantle that would disturb the deep recesses of the heart to reveal the true nature of individuals. The leadership fraternity across the Body of Christ withstood my progress bringing distress and isolation. I am not about to spare the leadership across the collective Church. I have no qualms writing about the change needed in leadership because I am urged to write by the Spirit. Church leaders are not untouchables when God begins to disrupt the order. Thankfully, I can now see why it had to be so. A 7-fold level of rejection and mistreatment would endow me with the 7-fold healing mantle.

In this end season the Spirit of God is moving against the obnoxious religious spirit. This objectionable spirit is against real change that shifts the church order. It is against the healing of the people in the fashion that God desires. This spirit hated Jesus and His Reconciliation Ministry. The revealing of the mighty outstretched arm of God will bring back godly fear into the people and even the watching nations. It will be a very public deliverance because what was done to me was not done in a corner. God has been watching over my night and I will be given escorted passage through the mighty deep. The deliverance for this end time’s 7-fold healing mantle will cut a path for many others coming behind to cross over into their destiny. It has been an unbearably long spiritual night but faith and divine peace has kept me moving.

I pour forth these words breathed into my spirit in the dark night of the soul. “He will bring forth your righteousness like the dawn, your justice like the noonday sun.“ (Psalms 37:6, BSB). “But Moses told the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the LORD’s salvation, which He will accomplish for you today; for the Egyptians you see today, you will never see again.” Exodus 154:13, BSB).
