A PARTING IN THE ROAD

I had this blog pending, then I was Spirit-urged to get it out before I have my short break from writing. I am responding as I know full well that what I am led by the Spirit to write is the trajectory of where things are going. I feel a great burden when I am being urged to write. I do not take it lightly what I put out. My life was turned over to dislodge and remove any foolishness of religion in me. That is where we are today as God removes the baggage of religion that has held back progress in the Body of Christ. I cannot but write what the Spirit reveals to me. It was around 2005 when the Lord told me I would be His end time oracle. What I did not account for is that it would be the difficulty to give birth to ‘Judah’ and being muzzled by the leadership that would birth the gift of prophetic scribing. Incidentally, the name Judah was coined when I met a prophet unknown to me in 2005, who said I was carrying ‘Judah’. I received that word in the Name of Jesus.

I will therefore not detract from what my spirit is Spirit-fed. The dreams I am being urged to share are poignant and I strongly believe they pertain to this critical time as the Releasing Spirit is about to be poured out, freely and graciously by our Lord for this dry season. A time of penitence is being offered to whoever will take up the invitation of Jesus, “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). I announce that in the course of time the evil in the global body of Christ will be laid bare. What I am receiving in my spirit is that the mantle is for everyone who will come to drink. The opportunity is being presented, not on the Church’s terms but as the Spirit will direct and through whom He chooses. I implore, take heed as we have reached a juncture in the spiritual road. There is a parting taking place in the spirit as a distinction is now being made between the wheat and the tares.. It is a serious time and the Spirit is reaching out to the people of God. “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).

I will now share two dreams that i believe are pertinent for this time. It will bring context to what my spirit has received.

Dream 1

This dreamt I had before my life change in the winter of 2010. I was standing in the presence of a group of ministers from the church that I left 10 years ago. A female minister was stirring what looked like ‘Fibre gel’ in a cup. She proceeded to give the concoction to the other leaders present to drink. I was on the edge of the dream, witnessing what was taking place. I said to the female minister, ‘you cannot give that to the leaders to drink’. A male minister piped up in her defence and said ,‘leave her alone and let her do it her way’. Immediately those words were said, I noticed to my left, far, far away in the distance a small light aircraft or a small helicopter nose dive to the ground. The crash was immediate as the minister spoke those words.

The scene then changed and I was now being escorted and shown a scene by an angel. An angel usually accompany me in my dreams when something strategically is being revealed to me that the Spirit wants me to take note of. The distressing scene was real close up and just unfolding. A gigantic aircraft had ploughed into 7 apartment buildings. The magnitude of the wreckage of the aircraft left me soberly quiet. As I reflected, and tried to process my thoughts, I experienced a weighty wave of compassion as I pled mercy. An eerie silence pervaded over the atmosphere as I asked the angel, ‘I wonder how many souls were lost?’. There was no response from the angel adding to my overwhelming sense of disquietness of spirit. The tangled aircraft was giving off an acrid lingering smell of jet fuel. The searing heat caused loose fragments to emit isolated plumes of flames as they fell away. The black billowing smoke lingering in the atmosphere was choking. From where I stood with the angel close up, the heat from the charred smoking tragedy, unfolding before my eyes was still smouldering with red hot flames still licking up. We stood there in silence noting the dreadful scene as the crackling sounds from the burning wreckage quietly narrated its own story.

The aircraft had literally dropped out of the skies across these 7 high rise buildings. The aircraft was mangled into the top sections of all the buildings. What was being emphasised to me was that the tower blocks were not near each other. They were miles apart across a vast area. What struck me also was the fact that only the top section of all the tower blocks were on fire and destroyed as the floors collapsed into each other. Three-quarters of all the buildings below the damaged tiers remained in tact as the top sections burned out of control..

Dream 1 Understanding

I had this dream early in the unmistakably active season of ’Ayin’, a time of intense revelatory insight. The Spirit is now releasing me to announce it in this decade ‘Pey’, the season of the ‘mouth’. I am required to pour forth as a shofar-blast warning. I am under a strong stirring to write what the Spirit urges. When connected to a second dream I will also share, we can deduce that we are being warned against leadership traits that can separate us from God’s will. These behavioural traits will bring destruction to our soul to separate us from God. It is a fearfully humbling outcome.

Firstly, the dream takes place at a local church setting with leaders from that church. The female minister was instrumental in the defiling and infecting of those local leaders. The developing second scene reveals the global infection and destruction caused. A local source of infection having a global impact is a serious matter.

Secondly, fire is an indication of judgement. The global Church is now under the 7-fold judgement of God. The emphasis of one aircraft destroying so many buildings is an indication of the aircraft being the collective global Church. Aircrafts represent a global ministry. The 7 buildings can be seen as the perfect and complete global entity. The global Church or the Body of Christ in its entirety comes under the judgement of God. As we understand in part, it took the greater part of the 10 years to feel assured in my spirit that the dream is for the world-wide Church/Body of Christ. As this dream is relevant for this time I can confidently release this to be a warning to the Body of Christ that is already under that judgement.

The dream indicates the local leaders are infected with heresy and lies. The female minister, under the influence of a Jezebel spirit stirs up and leads a rebellion. The words of the male leader and the silence of the others indicates coming under a strong bond of evil. The crash of the small aircraft in the distance indicates the destruction of that ministry. The ministry would crash. The aftermath of that local scene is projected into the second scene. The humungous aircraft is revealed to me as a representation of the universal ministry. The close up scene reflects the global damage done. An unbridled tongue will spread bad news like a destructive wildfire. The pollution and infection resulting from the local ministry has infected global denominations. This behaviour is common in the Body of Christ and accepted as norm when gossip spreads like wildfire. It is unacceptable in the eyes of the Spirit that has seen the evil reverberate across the global Body of Christ. The question is ‘why should this local leadership crisis affect many beyond the initial source?’

The simple answer lies in the fact that the servant wronged by the local ministry and region was God’s end time servant. Yes, hear it from me. Unequivocally, I announce that God’s chosen prophet, earmarked for such a time as this was trashed, rubbished, ostracised, spat upon and left bleeding and deposited in the gutter. The enemy ensured it was messy, publicly painful and unrecoverable but for God.

I write with strong feelings of an injustice being done. Yet my heart is pure towards the perpetrators and all those unknown to me who have taken a ‘piece of me’. You are all forgiven. As I near my divine purpose, I now feel godly righteous indignation. The time for God’s righteous judgement cries from my heart, because no one took responsibility or said sorry. Figuratively speaking, ‘I am about to ‘blow a gasket’, as I patiently await God’s promise of vindication. My gracious Lord has kept my vengeance in His heart and I will be vindicated.

Dream 2

This dream I had around 2012 in the early years of the prophetic journey. Throughout my prophetic journey the behaviour shown towards me in the dream has been consistent in other dreams where I am driving a mode of transport.

I was driving a large juggernaut. There were 7 lanes and to my left, the other 6 lanes were occupied by lorries of similar size and design. They were heavy duty trailers and the driver’s cab was very high up. As we journeyed along the drivers would, in a synchronised fashion, try to nudge me out of my lane, off the road into the ditch. The driver in the furtherest left lane would move in on the driver in the next lane and the others would follow until the driver in the lane next to me would attempt to move into my lane. I would be smiling in my dreams as I kept my lane, holding my own. I was not afraid but kept steadfast in my lane.

The Spirit then zoomed me under the bodywork of all our vehicles. The bodywork of the other vehicles were standard as you would get with articulated lorries. The wheels were in sets of twos or threes then a gap and another set of wheels down the length of the under body. The Spirit then showed me my wheel design and underwork. The bodywork of my vehicle was sitting on a platform of thick steel. The platform of thick steel was sitting on a bed of unending connected wheels. From one side to the other and along the entire length of the vehicle was a bed of wheels without any gaps.

We eventually came up to a tollbooth. As we waited to drive through, the other drivers were revving up their engines and stepping on their airbrakes so their vehicles jerked forward and back. As I looked at them they were all men and they were mean looking with frowns on their faces. I was not afraid of them and continued to smile. When the barriers went up they were all quick off the mark and veered off to a road bearing to the left leading onto a busy motorway with many lanes. I could see that there were many vehicles on the motorway. I proceeded to ask direction from a man clothed in white who was standing near by with a clipboard. He pointed to a vertical road to my right, far in the distance. I was afraid as I thought the lorry would flip over on the steep vertical road. I asked if there was another way. He said that there wasn’t but I should keep going and I would be alright. I then commenced my journey to the vertical road. There were no other vehicles on this journey.

Dream Understanding

The Spirit was revealing the quality of my vehicle compared to my contenders. Vehicles in dreams indicate ministries. The size of a wheel or the number of wheels infer the size of that ministry. For instance, in a very early dream around 2005 my dream showed me on a Penny Farthing bicycle. Again the same behaviour was exhibited by drivers in buses. I was exposed and vulnerable on that bicycle yet I continued to cycle smiling. When I became tired I got off the bike and pushed it up a hill. What was noticeable is that I kept moving. The big wheel in that dream was high as the top of their buses.

What is obvious is that we are on divergent paths to our destination. I am on a lonely road to destiny and am required to ask directions as the way is unknown. The leaders of these ministries are not scrupulous about the journey they have embarked on. They are also not entertaining a right spirit towards me. This is the purpose of my writings to encourage the people of God to set their houses in order. We have no more time. We must shift to make right before the Eternal God.

We are approaching a parting in the spiritual road as Dream 2 indicates. We cannot negotiate our own way but be led by the mantle that has been released for this end time. It is the end time mantle under the Spirit of Prophecy that will vivify and bring the global Elect Church to perfection. Sadly many will not make the grade because they will fail to come under the Spirit-leading.

L’SHANAH TOVAH

L’Shanah Tovah! (for a good year).

In obedience to what I am receiving in my spirit this morning, I will now cease writing these posts for a brief time. As we have entered Rosh Hashanah 5782, I now await further instructions regarding God’s next move.

I have faithfully undertaken all that I believe has been required of me. I now wait as we move towards Yom Kippur and Sukkot.

The blueprint given for this strategic call is now ready. The website and social media sites are now ready. I now await the fullness of what will be Spirit-revealed for this time.

JESUS THE ‘STONE OF DAVID’

“now that you have tasted that the Lord is good. (4) As you come to Him, the living stone, rejected by men but chosen and precious in God’s sight, (5) you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. (6) For it stands in Scripture: “See, I lay in Zion a stone, a chosen and precious cornerstone; and the one who believes in Him will never be put to shame.” (1 Peter 2”3-5, BSB)

As I was meditating on this season of the imminent changes to come for our world, I then heard, ‘a rolling stone gathers no moss’. I then was drawn to the book of Daniel and the reference made to the stone that was cut out of the mountain.. I keenly listened to what my spirit was being fed regarding the stone that featured in Daniel’s account, that was cut out of the mount, not by human hands. I began processing my thoughts. I knew the proverb of ‘a rolling stone gathering no moss’ being a reference to a person who is not able to settle. One who is constantly on the move putting no roots down and therefore not accumulating and being productive as others would expect. In the book of Daniel, the rolling Ancient Stone eternally hewed out, cascading down the mountain of time, crushing principalities and dynasties is a reference of Jesus our Lord.

In the eyes of carnal men Jesus was an oddment, a misfit. He went against the grain of his peers;, always in contention with temple users as His eternal mantle disturbed the order. “The stone the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.” (Psalms 118:22, BSB). His mantle revealed their hearts. Exposed and uncomfortable at His radiant beam penetrating the dark regions of their soul, they were stirred to react in His presence. Equally, Jesus could not sit comfortably in their religious set up as their unrighteous works provoked His anointing to speak against their works.. His presence created discomfort amongst the religious leaders as their motives and intent of the heart was revealed. The kingdom that held and governed their hearts was on a divergent path to Jesus’ kingdom of righteous works. There could be no agreement between these two polarised realms as the eternity of the eternities of righteousness would thrust them apart.

An Eternal Kingdom

The eternal ancient Stone of the house of David was not hewed out of any created matter but was eternal. The Stone laid in the foundation of the eternal realm of God is unmovable, an unshakeable Kingdom. The Stone of the Davidic house, a rolling unstoppable Stone would destroy other contending earthly dynasties keeping sways of people in oppression and spiritual bondage. The mantle of Kingdom authority of sovereign rule would crush every earthly set up, What I have derived from what the Spirit has fed me is that the rolling Stone of the Righteous Kingdom has gathered many unto Himself. As His Name is lifted up in the hearts of seeking souls, many are drawn into His righteous Kingdom, eternal in the heavens, “Of the increase of His government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish and sustain it with justice and righteousness from that time and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of Hosts will accomplish this. ( Isaiah 9:7, BSB)

The Stone that was discarded by men was the cornerstone of the Kingdom of God. Israel rejected Aaron’s rod as they did the New Covenant of Jesus. The rolling Stone of David would crushed many mighty dynasties, governments that have briefly come and gone, making their mark across the history of man. “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). Today, in this season of systemic change, the mantle of our Lord continues to have dominion in the earth, to rase inferior foundations to rubble. The faulty foundations of the entities of life are crumbling as our Lord’s mantle, the Spirit of Prophecy moves, shifts and dismantles all false entities. “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) This season’s commanding and forceful 7-fold Releasing mantle destroys evil minds and negate ideologies of hate and recrimination against vulnerable and defenceless groups.

The Stone of David will crush any other stone lain in he foundations of the entities of life. The stone cut from the mountain has rolled down, crushing and pulverising to dust every powers, empires, kingdoms and religious entities that have conquered, reigned and controlled nations and peoples. The time comes when these powers must capitulate control, lose influence and concede defeat. Brute control over territories and nations ceases as they are vanquished and fade into the archives of history. Every other cornerstone positioned in the foundations of life’s strategic entities, held highly in national and religious minds must cede supremacy and power. “For no one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ.“ 1 Corinthians 3:11, BSB)

The Glorious Ekklesia of our Lord

The glorious Ekklesia of our Lord is rising in prominence in the earth. A people great in number, a beautiful sight to behold is rising on the new spiritual platform built for such a time as this. A ‘bimah’ set in the global square near the water gate, from which the trickling of the water from under the threshold of the temple will run. A people of diversity in tongue and culture, with the mind of God in creativity and embracing their humanness in physical, emotional and mental differentiations. All flowing into the righteous Kingdom of eternal love. “You are My war club, My weapon for battle. With you I shatter nations; with you I bring kingdoms to ruin.” (Jeremiah 51:20, BSB).

The people of God are the hands and feet of Jesus in the earth. The glorious Ekklesia, a recalibrated Body of Christ is now repositioning in the earth. A people of all nations under the influence and direction of the Spirit celebrating the fullness, completeness and perfectness of our Lord through individual lives. Not organisational life. Fearless and undeterred to accomplish the righteous works of the Kingdom in the earth. “Behold, I will make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff.” (Isaiah 41:15, BSB). A remnant that will turn up under the leading of the Spirit in places men fear to tread. They will trample over demonic territories and crush dark forces with the new and sharp instrument made available in this time to trusted servants of God.

GLEAMING SWORD OF TRUTH

In 2015 whilst under a strong and compelling prophetic anointing I was urged to write. It was at that time I was given the word that God would give me an ‘out of Egypt’ deliverance. It was for the deliverance of many out of spiritual captivity in the nations. It was also to forbid the power of the religious spirit keeping sways of people in the nations under spiritual bondage. All souls belong to the Lord and He will exercise His sovereign right and rule to bring souls into His healing flow. The spirit of sickness and death will be crushed when the people of the nations begin to give the praises and adulation to our soon coming Messiah Lord by lifting up His Name.

We are about to leave Egypt, a synonym of the current world system. Egypt is not conducive to God’s people prospering and thriving. It is a system of oppression and suffering. Spiritually it is the antipathy of what we are striving for in this world. For the end time, in order that we can make it through the levels of oppression and persecution coming against the Elect Church, a New Order was revealed to me. I now believe we are in the season to leave the current system, a place of suffering, control and death. To begin our final journey to our eternal rest a new strategy is required. The journey will be strategically mapped and coursed under a compelling Spirit-led New Order. The Lord will make it very obvious, His leading as denominational chaos comes to an end. A unified strategic leading will define this next Spirit-led season.

I will now recall a dream I had after Passover 2019. I believe it is important for this season.

The Dream::

‘I will go before you and will level the mountains, I will breakdown gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron’ (Isaiah 45:2, ESV).

I saw the Spirit of our Lord Jesus flowing as He went on before me . I was walking behind His white flowing robe, confidently following hard after Him, ‘chuffed as Punch.’ I was beaming as I held a glistering broad and weighty, unsheathed sword across both palms of my hands. I was constantly looking down at the beautiful shining weapon like a child holding a treasured item. Jesus kept glancing behind at me as if checking that I was alright and keeping apace with Him. He had a beautiful smile as He constantly turned to look at me. What I sensed in the vision is that He was pleased with me. Beautiful! It is such a comforting thought knowing that our Lord is with His people leading the unfamiliar and challenging way.

As I flowed in sync with Jesus along the dry seabed, I looked to my left where I saw the mighty churning waters of the great deep rolled back as a tsunami, piled high as a wall of fury. As our Lord moved effortlessly along the path made through the dry ocean bed, His authority over the winds and waves was undisputed and evident. His Sovereign Lordship in all of His universe caused the spirit of ‘Yam’, the sea lord of Baal to retreat in feigned submission. The spirit of ‘Yam’ defiantly stared out with envy and disdain behind the churning wall of dark waters as our Lord led the way. The angry presence behind the wall of fury was subdued to give me safe escorted passage as I carried the gleaming sword.

A Fresh Spirit-Mantling

As we spiritually negotiate the next stage of the journey outside of a fractured crumbling world system, the Spirit of God will not leave His people. Like the desert church leaving Egypt under the leadership of Moses, the Lord will watch over the night of departure on our eternal homebound journey. The servant of God chosen with the strategic remit will be hearing and disseminating instructions under a strong Spirit-urge to His Elect Church. Of course we know that many, in confusion will resist the changes being ushered in. I had to submit in obedience in isolation to get to this strategic point, so many others could be released into the end time healing flow. What is about to trickle and flow torrentially from under the threshold of the altar will cascade into the spiritually dry nations. So I implore, to my fellowmen, be willing to resist disobedience to the next move of God. Those without faith to follow the leading of the Spirit will strengthen in rebellion and fall away under the great deception.

At this critical and indeed challenging time, carelessness to follow the leading of the Spirit will prove detrimental to survive this next season. Do not let disobedience leave you scurrying around on the cusp of the Rapture-departure, trying to find oil for your lamp after this next season’s exuberant and generous overflow of the Spirit of Release. “For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith virtue; and to virtue, knowledge; (6) and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; (7) and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. (8) For if you possess these qualities and continue to grow in them, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. (9) But whoever lacks these traits is nearsighted to the point of blindness, having forgotten that he has been cleansed from his past sins. (10) Therefore, brothers, strive to make your calling and election sure. For if you practice these things you will never stumble, (2 Peter 1:5-10, BSB.). The means by which we can be made ready for the trumpet call is by the grace given in this season’s fresh mantling of the Spirit.

THE LORD SPEAKS

“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel. Whenever you hear a word from My mouth, give them a warning from Me. (Ezekiel 3:17, BSB)

This word has been Spirit-released today, 1st September 2021.

I confess that I am under a compelling and fearful authority to write what I am receiving in my spirit. It is humbling as I feel the weight and burden of the call. I am moving through choppy raging prophetic waters without any true sense of where the Spirit is leading. But I fervently follow in the explicit assurances that a substantial presence of the Godhead moves with me. The peace and confidence shoring me up is amazing. It is next to none other. Truly, if God was not abiding with me over these past ten years, with certainty I would already be dead. Like the many prophets of old and faithful saints that have passed from this mortal life, I too would be waiting in the eternal holding realm, the place of the sleeping saints. Praise God, I am still here to write what the Spirit is revealing to me for His people.

This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘Write in a book all the words that I have spoken to you.” (Isaiah 30:2, BSB)

I boldly announce, without reservation, that the Spirit-led prayer-force behind this end time vision for the persecuted church will be the Elect Body of Christ. Collectively this unified approach will be the means by which persecuted christians in the nation will come into their rightful kingdom heritage. God’s priorities will be the priorities of His Elect Church as we flow as one unified entity in sync with the Spirit of the 7th Sabbatical Year of Release (Shmita), (5782) 2022. The word released to me in the winter of 2012 by the Spirit .‘‘I want you to establish it in a conference in the place of the 7-fold churches’, is yet to come to pass. The imminent move of the Spirit in this next season of a New Order will ensure the word comes to fruition. As I was writing this post I also heard the Spirit say that the prophet Habakkuk’s word is appointed for this strategic end time vision. The culmination of Apostle John’s vision will be accomplished under the complete and perfect 7-fold mantle flowing for this end time. “saying, “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven churches: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.” (Revelation 1:11, BSB). (Here we see 111 comes up for the 7 Churches of Asia Minor. 111 is my number indicating a substantial presence of the Godhead abiding with me).

The 2012 word given to me will not lie.. Though it tarries it will surely come to pass. “Then the LORD answered me: “Write down this vision and clearly inscribe it on tablets, so that a herald may run with it. (3) For the vision awaits an appointed time; it testifies of the end and does not lie. Though it lingers, wait for it, since it will surely come and will not delay.“ (Habakkuk 2:2-3, BSB). I can confirm that the vision, as given by the Spirit has been written in a book entitled, ‘The Forgotten Christians of Asia Minor” and published after Pentecost/Shavuot 2018.

The Elect Body of Christ cannot fully perceive the enormity of a 7-fold end time demonic force that will be hatched against our departure from this world. It will be a worldwide move of evil juxtaposed against the end time Church’s culminating work. The Elect Church, the refreshed and vivified Body of Christ will collectively be in oneness with the Spirit. A dynamic fearless force that will be burdened with the vision-call by the unifying Spirit. The whole Body of Christ, fitly framed as God intended will experience joy and pain together labouring over the end time harvest of souls. They will be grateful recipients of the Testimony of Jesus. Globally, many persecuted christian communities are regaining and holding onto their spiritual heritage as best as they know how. The kingdom work for the Elect Body of Christ is to steward and bring them to spiritual maturity for the Rapture, under the leading of this releasing mantle.

Watch the governmental changes occurring in the troubled Middle East as the Arab leaders come together, even if feigned at heart. The reconciling healing Spirit is stirring and changing the region to accommodate the next move of the Eternal God. “Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:10, BSB)

The resisting spirits abounding in the nations will serve to usher in the man of sin, under the influence of Satan. This person will be totally sold out to the abomination of eternal sinfulness.

GWENDOLYN SMITH. #NEWPENTECOST. 1 SEPTEMBER 2021

AN IMPLICIT CODE OF SILENCE

There is an organisational tendency to overlook that which needs to be dealt with. Organisational silence is a psychological design, it is not voiced or written into practices and codes of conduct but rather an implicit behavioural trait. An organisational mute spirit is a collective bond of iniquity. It brings sways of people under a bondage or stronghold that is psychologically normalised. Jesus referred to the mute spirit as an unclean spirit. (Mark 5:8). It is a wicked spirit behind the diversity of problems afflicting people. “…who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases., and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were cured.” (Luke 6:18,ESV). These disturbing spirits also reside in organisations, strongholds embedded in the foundations of these entities. This generational spirits work to evade detection that will bring hidden works to light and set organisations free. In the Authority of the Word these spirit are to be dealt with and be cast out of the sick people and the entities of life. “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none”. Matthew 12:43, ESV).

Organisational silence is a behavioural trait, enshrined in the psychological canons of organisations. Tacitly upheld by the traditions of men. These religious spirit opposes change or reform that can bring healing, reconciliation and restoration to the Body of Christ. There is no willingness on the part of many leaders to embrace change even at the expense of a haemorrhaging church. These spiritual bondages are worked through strong psychological bond, nuanced in organisational allegiance.

A psychological code of conduct comes into play at the slightest hint of a problem. An implicit code of silence is chosen over a strong robust leadership response. Issues are brushed under the carpet and church life carries on in denial to strategic organisational problems. Serial perpetrators dig their heels in and as a defence mechanism they close ranks to normalise a situation. Those at the receiving end are ostracised and rejected when they object to the leadership’s inertia and the unrestrained behaviour of the people It is quite clearly ungodly works and falls short of the higher works of righteousness. Rarely are problems resolved according to a biblical standard of conduct.

We can be silent no longer. We must confess that biblical standards exists over church life. It is time to go ‘back to the basics of our faith. Walk it through and see where we have added to the Word, an ungodly version of the faith entrusted to us. All that is masked in religious observances, yearly convocations and relied upon as an organisation’s preferred rallying mantra. Yahweh Melek, our King is to be venerated, lifted high as we cast our idols down. Fall at the feet of our Lord and repent of organisational sins of control, manipulated, ostracism, nepotism, gender biases and favouritism. These are strong iniquitous sins of witchcraft. They are silently and unconsciously at work, rooted in the mindset of the leadership and projected onto its followers. They are tenacious spirits, psychologically embedded in the organisational mind and the culture through collective generational covenants. Implicitly colluding with wrong and simply being in denial about the fall out from collective inaction is a sin. It is being rebellious and defiant against what the Spirit is revealing about covert organisational sins. We must pay due diligence to what the Spirit is saying to individual churches, organisations and denominations that could bring about healing and deliverance to the whole body. To the leadership cohort I say, ‘this is on your watch and to whom much is given, much is required.’

Breaking The Silence

The lifeblood of churches will be splattered as the sword of Truth strikes and cut down every works of evil. “It is a sword that slays, a sword of great slaughter closing in on every side!” (Ezekiel 21:14, BSB) This end season will reveal the true state of the organisational heart. The hearts of individuals and everything that is hidden will be exposed under the blazing eyes of the Spirit of Truth. The releasing Word will break into the bondage of the captive heart and stir the depths of the dark realm of silence. The mute spirit will froth and salivate in the presence of our Lord as the Authority of Jesus disturbs the abode of resident evil in the silent world of the troubled entity. ‘And they were all amazed, and spake among themselves, saying, ‘What a word is this! for with authority and power He command the unclean spirits, and they come out.’ (Luke 4:36, KJV). Like the young man at the tomb these impure spirits shall cry out ‘Leave us be Jesus’. ’What have we to do with you Lord’? “And suddenly they cried out, saying, “What have we to do with You, Jesus, You Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?” (Matthew 8:29, KJV). These vocal evil spirits are silenced by the Authority of the Word, They can no longer speak out of the distressed souls of men. They must vacate the heart that is helpless, confused, crying and overrun with demons.

The parable of the lost sheep, injured and isolated against the environmental dangers caused the Good Shepherd to leave the flock that were safe and go out to find the lost sheep. Such love and compassion is the gospel message that Jesus emphasised throughout His teachings to the people. Yet it was His love and compassion that irked the Jewish leaders. Their hearts not being amenable to the good of the people. As long as religious works are maintained, righteous works are overlooked and sidelined. The healing and wellbeing of the hurting people was least on the list of the priorities of the Jewish leaders. Yet in their temples they were busy permitting the moneylenders and traders to operate. These were learnt men who could not perceive who was in their midst. They strenuously argued about the requirements of the letter of the law concerning the Sabbath, “..who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life“ (2 Corinthians 3:6, KJV). The Lord of the Sabbatical eternal rest was in their presence yet their spiritual blindness caused them to see things from the legal perspective of the Old Covenant. The time was approaching when the old order of spiritual sickness and death would be conquered. The eternal keys to open up the way to eternal life would be taken from the destroyer of souls. The rightful owner of the eternal spiritual keys over death, hell and the grave was our Lord, the Spirit of Life.

SET APART FOR WORSHIP

So I will make My holy name known among My people Israel and will no longer allow it to be profaned. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel. (Ezekiel 39:7, BSB)

‘Qadesh ‘is the primitive root word for ‘‘holy’’, Strong’s (6946). It is to be ‘holy’ and ‘set apart’. From this root word we have derivative words ‘kadosh, and Kadesh’. Usage of either will depend on the period of history, but they both mean ‘holy’. As christians, we understand being holy and set apart to be presenting one’s self exclusively to the service of God. Sanctified and anointed unto the Lord to render one’s service.

Under the Old Mosaic Order, the cleansing of the tabernacle utensils were scrupulously undertaken, as they were prepared and sanctified unto God. The requirements under the Mosaic Law stipulated that the priests and those chosen from the Levitical tribe be anointed to serve. They would dutifully attend solely to matters pertaining to temple worship. The Levites/priests were chosen to be set apart in holiness to render a hallowed and pure sacrifice. Every aspect of the ceremonial process and duties were undertaken with reverential fear and the condition of the heart was judged by YHWH Kadosh, the Holy One . “Speak to the whole congregation of Israel and tell them: Be holy because I, the LORD your God, am holy.” (Leviticus 19:2, ESV)

The word ‘Qadesh’, is not entirely exclusive to christians who separate themselves for God’s service. ‘Qadesh’ is used also to denote being ‘set apart’ for service by other groups of worshippers. For instance, being set apart for service to pagan worship was practised in bible times. We have a scriptural reference to this practice. “He also tore down the quarters of the male shrine prostitutes that were in the house of the LORD, where the women had woven tapestries for Asherah.” (2 Kings 23:7, BSB). “There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land. They imitated all the abominations of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.” (1 Kings 14:24, BSB). They were called ‘Sodomites’, namely male temple prostitutes, who set themselves apart for unholy service to pagan gods.

Under the Mosaic Law, sodomy was deemed a pervasive indulgence. However, the practise of giving oneself exclusively to pagan worship thrived In bible times. We see here a scriptural reference as the practice is denounced by God. “No daughter or son of Israel is to be a shrine prostitute”. (Deuteronomy 23:17, BSB). It could not be condoned or have place alongside worship unto a Holy God. “What agreement can exist between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said: “I will dwell with them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they will be My people. (17) “Therefore come out from among them and be separate, says the Lord. Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you.” (2 Corinthians 6:16-17, BSB). God often likened His children to these abominations because spiritually Israel would engage in idolatry, indulging in these levels of profanity. It was tantamount to infidelity of the legal and binding relational covenant that God established with His chosen people.

Removing Pagan Altars

It was Hilkanah, the serving High Priest under King Josiah’s reign who found the lost Book of the Law. It was hidden amongst the rubble of the temple in Jerusalem that was destroyed under foreign occupation. What a treasure? The lost Book of the Law found after many years would have been a momentous day for Hilkanah and his peers. As the contents were poured out to King Josiah, it caused him much sorrow as he emotionally ‘rent his robes’ in contrition. On realising the depth of fallenness and departure from God’s Law the nation had plunged into he repented on behalf of the nation as king. Determined to cast down the images and symbols of paganism, King Josiah set about with fervour to return the nation to the Laws of God. The altars and relics of false gods were scattered on mounts across the city. They were dedicated to the indulgence of false worship including shrine prostitution. King Josiah in his repentant heart determined to tear them down and build a national altar to Jehovah God. “Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; “(2 Corinthians 10:5, KJV )

To set oneself apart, devoting oneself to that unholy thing is another level of departure from truth. Scarcity of the pure, holy Word breeds the conditions conducive to debasing and giving oneself to false worship. A strategic call to repentance by King Josiah was the only appropriate response to pull back on national backsliding into destruction. “His watchmen are blind: they are all ignorant, they are all dumb dogs, they cannot bark; sleeping, lying down, loving to slumber…” (Isaiah 556:10,11, KJV). We are in the season for national, denominational and organisational leadership to take the lead in repentance and establishing a strategic call to worship unto Yahweh Kadosh.

Set Apart Vessels

When Jesus walked into the temple in Jerusalem, He would set a precedence for worship in the temple. In righteous indignation He overturned the tables of the money exchangers and drove out the business fraternity. “And He declared to them, “It is written: ‘My house will be called a house of prayer.’ But you are making it ‘a den of robbers.'” (Matthew 21:13, BSB) Jesus was stirred to remove the unrighteous works conducted in His Father’s house. This verse relates and speaks of the inner temple that ‘Yahweh ‘Makom’, ‘God of the place’ would dwell in our earthly tabernacle. A building not made with hands but the sanctuary of the soul. Built in the spirit for God’s glory. A temple of praise and devotion unto God. “However, the Most High does not dwell in houses made by human hands. As the prophet says:” (Acts 7:48, BSB). We are highly valued vessels consecrated unto God for His glory.. “For you must not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God” (Exodus 34:14, BSB. “I am the LORD; that is My name! I will not yield My glory to another or My praise to idols. (9) Behold, the former things have happened, and now I declare new things. Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you.” (Isaiah 42:8,9, BSB)

Under the Old Order if the priest and sons of the family of the priesthood and Levites were required to carry out their duties with deferential fear and awe unto God, how much more the servants under the Covenant of grace? The Lord seeks vessels, set apart for holy service to God. The people of God are required to come and prostate themselves in the temple of the heart. No longer can there be defilement of the order set by Yahweh Kadosh. Jesus will overturn in the sinful heart the order set by mankind for presumptuousness and rebellion.

The Old Order is being overturned, dismantled and destroyed. God is setting up a New Order for His Elect Body. This change order will usher in the closing chapter of this church age. The enormity of what is coming now cancels out the old order of religious works. The New Order will release a Spirit-order defined by love and compassion over religion and piousness.

THE STIRRING AND HISSING OF THE OCEAN DEEP

“Therefore I inform you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit. ” (1 Corinthians 12:3,BSB)

I will now share a dream I had about three times over the course of a few years. It was in 2011, whilst in West Palm Beach, USA that I had the dream yet again. It was poignant as I was alone on foreign soil and out of my comfort zone after a recent life change. Whilst travelling across states, I remember tearfully looking out of the window of the vehicle pondering the dream I had that night and its significance to my strategic prophetic healing call. Soberly I began receiving in my spirit the relativity of the vast country I was travelling through and the enormity of the global impact that the dream represented. At that time I had very little understanding of what a strategic prophetic remit on my life would entail and the chaos emerging from the stirring of the mantle in my obedience to the call. The fact that I had the dream at least twice before indicated this phenomenal move of the Spirit would definitely take place in time. “Moreover, because the dream was given to Pharaoh in two versions, the matter has been decreed by God, and He will carry it out shortly.” (Genesis 41:32, BSB)

The Dream

In my dream I was standing on a craggy piece of rock that jutted out to sea from the land. As far as my eyes could see, in all directions the wide formidable deep was before me. I was beholding the rising water levels around me as I walked along the flooding land mass. As I looked way out to sea I was in awe at the foaming white force churning ferociously on the distant horizon causing the rippling white surfs to reach the shores. What was striking in the dream, giving me goosebumps was the churning and hissing of the white foaming waters as of a steaming pressure cooker. In every which direction I looked I was moved and stirred by the frothing billows. The bubbling and steaming of the water around me was impactful and electric. From the vast open ocean to the shallow rock pools nearby, the waters were just surging white and hissing across the great watery expanse. Figuratively speaking, the vast ocean was boiling, tossing, swirling, sizzling and frothing. Just below the jutted out piece of land where I stood the rising frothy sizzling surge was enlivening even the shallow inlets and pools of water around the craggy rocks. Everywhere the great oceanic force trickled and flowed was being transformed into sizzling effervescence-like turmoil.

The Spirit then took me below the surface water and far, far out at sea, deep below the waterline depth I saw a dark disturbing force tearing towards land. It was moving like ‘the clappers’. The intensity of the force brought fear in me, contrasting the excitement I was feeling as I viewed the surface of the captivating white stirring of the deep. What I was now sensing in the dream was that no one else could see the evil force making its way to land. It was Spirit revealed to me that it was a subtle move of evil as I was taken some depths in the spirit below the waterline. Stirred with urgency I immediately turned on my heel and fled towards the beach where many people were sunbathing and frolicking in the sands. I was running around pleading with the people to move with me to the higher grounds in the distance. They stared at me as though I was a distraction. In desperation I fled to make my escape, leaving them content with their sunbathing. Only a few people followed me to higher grounds.

On reflection of the dream I am left with a lasting impression of the poignant moving scenes and sounds of the powerful motion of the surface waters. Ruach HadKadosh, the dynamic Wind of the Spirit, fearfully hover and dance over the ocean deep, receptively preparing for the ejaculation of the Word. The memory of this vivid dream and its chilling sounds are haunting, still sending shivers down my spine.

Dream Understanding

The stirring, churning hissing surface waters represents a phenomenal dynamic move of the Spirit. The sea indicates this move of the Spirit will be a global experience. The waters in small rock pools can be understood as even the inhospitable, secret and less known places on our planet will be recipients of God’s end time outpouring. The force under the waterline is clearly a move of evil as my feelings in the dream went from excitement and awe to fear and desperately urging the people to make their escape. My role in the dream is integral to the mantle given for this season’s move of the Holy Spirit. The call to higher spiritual grounds is pressing as the imminent Spirit-move of God will transform the spiritual atmosphere.

Sadly many will reject the call to higher grounds to escape the evil coming to mankind. The spirit of spiritual darkness pervades the nations lulling many into laxness, complacency, undiscerning to the evil moving through and strengthening in the deeps of life. “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.” (Matthew 7:13, BSB)

The Stirring of the Deep

The Spirit led me into Daniel 7 for a scriptural reference point for the dream. (2) “Daniel declared: “In my vision in the night I looked, and suddenly the four winds of heaven were churning up the great sea. (3) Then four great beasts came up out of the sea, each one different from the others:” (Daniel 7:2,3 BSB)

Ruach HadKadosh stirred the formidable deep in Daniel’s dream. The waters represent the nations and the breathed Word danced over the surging deep in the Wind of the Spirit releasing atmospheric change. Spiritually stirring up the nations for the next move of Yahweh for transformation and change. Daniel’s dream warranted him closing the Book of Time until the fullness of the word. I announce this to be the time of the fulfilment of Daniel’s dream.

My dream exposes the raging evil that is coursing through the ocean undercurrent. The barrelling force indicates a new level of demonic fury, now to be unleashed in the unsuspecting nations. The tormentor of the people has hatched his end time plan against our Lord’s Ministry of Reconciliation. The work of healing, restoration, reconciliation and salvation will not be impeded because Jesus is Lord in His universe. All power, authority and sovereign rule has been conferred upon Yeshua Hamashiach, the Anointed One. Whilst writing, it suddenly dawned upon me that any great move of God for healing and salvation unleashes the Molech spirit. A spirit that brings death to innocent children. Spiritually this spirits seeks to bring death to the children of God. We saw this ferocious spirit at work when Herod sought to trawl baby Jesus into his evil net. The spiritual war in the spirit has intensified for the souls of men.

Further, my dream indicates the hissing, foaming white surges are evidently the enormity of the next move of the Spirit in the nations. We have entered into the culminating period of the Church age as the imminent return of the Lord bears upon us. God has a plan for His people. Be not perplexed at the uncertainty of the current world order. God is Creator and He will not be bound to work out of man’s set up. He will bring about His New Order. “See, I have appointed you today over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and plant.” (Jeremiah 1:10, BSB). Great civilisations and ruling kingdoms governing vast sways of the world have come and gone during the history of mankind. In the fullness of time they have crumbled with their ideological impositions and high rule. They are now pulverised to dust by the rolling ‘Stone of David’, cut out of the mountain of the eternal Kingdom of righteousness. A ruling spiritual entity reigning without end in the hearts of men. The creature-images in Daniel’s dream is that of the great empires that would come and go in time.

Ruach HadKadosh, the Ancient Wind of the Spirit that moved over the oceanic deep in Creation is about to move significantly for this end time. “Now the earth was formless and void, and darkness was over the surface of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the surface of the waters.” (Genesis 1:2, BSB). The role of the Spirit of God is to work over a situation, a nation or people in preparation for the time when the Word is released to shift, move and shake for atmospheric and territorial change

Yam – Lord of the Deep

Baal, a Phoenician god is the collective name for many other heathen gods ruling over different entities in the earth. Strong’s (H1167) ,‘Baal’, interprets ‘owner’, ‘lord’, ‘archer’ or ‘husband’. It is thought that it was Jezebel who introduced Baal into worship in Israel in 9th century BCE. Strong’s H3221) ‘Yam’ gives the definition of ‘sea’, ‘ocean’. The original Hebrew letter for ‘Yam’ is ‘Mem’, the 13th letter of the Hebrew Alphabet . ‘Mem’ has a meaning of ‘King of Water’. We know that Jesus is the King of Creation. In Creation, Ruach HadKadosh, the Spirit of the Deep, with the Word enlivened and ruled over the watery abyss. In agreement with Yahweh, the mighty turbulent force was subdued by the Word. ((Strong’s (H4910) ‘mashal’ is to ‘rule over’ and have ‘dominion’, to ‘reign’. Ruach HadKadosh, the Spirit of God has dominion over the fathomless water kingdom. Since Baal interprets as ’owner’ or ’lord’, we can deduce that this spirit is without doubt counterfeit, usurping illegal right where Jesus is undisputed Lord over all realms, principalities and powers.

As seen in my dream, the evil spirit of ‘Yam’, detected by the dominant Holy Spirit is seen moving ferociously through the waters. Of course what is seen in my dream is what is being revealed in the spirit realm. As we are in the season of the stirring of the Wind of Spirit over the nations ,we are graciously forewarned of the evil force unleashed to deceive vulnerable unsuspecting souls. Those caught up in trying to live life as they had known before the pandemic should be spiritually informed that we are moving into God’s New Order. The world has changed and men’s spiritual understanding and perspective must change also. We have no more time to be aroused to spiritual alertness as our Lord lays bare the works of dark forces.

A Global Spirit Shift

The supernatural power of signs, miracles and wonders will accompany the righteous works of the Holy Spirit in this season. Can you feel the stirring power of Ruach HaKodesh emanating off this page? Indulge with me in anticipation of the imminent unfolding of this Spirit-revealing experience. It will be awesome, captivating, joyous and impacting. The waters of the stirring deep has begun frothing, bubbling and moving the murky dark depths in the spiritual ocean floor of nations. A violent strategic releasing mantle is forcing change, healing our broken world and undoing systemic boulders lain in the foundation of an evil world system. It is the stirring of the supernatural power of Ruach HaKodesh, bringing desolation, ruin and chaos to demonic principalities and powers residing over nations. Satanic forces are scattering in this season as the abodes and strongholds of evil in nations, manifested through strategic levels of unrighteous works, are exposed.

This overflow of the glory for this end time’s supernatural power will not be confined within the walls of the universal Church. Like a torrential flood the authority and force of the mantle will tunnel through diverse religions and social obstacles, surge over national restrictive covenants and global bureaucratic barriers. Ruach HaKodesh will blow over broken communities, hovering over their social, national and political deeps, to flood these dry dusty Arabah basins (Gentile nations), entrenched in spiritual darkness. “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.”(John 3:16, BSB). This momentous imminent move of God will take place before the anxious watching world. “Tell the nations God has roused Himself from His Holy place” (Zechariah 2:13)

You will receive power when the Spirit comes on you; and you will be My witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” (Acts 1:4–8). The end time pouring out of the #NEWPENTECOST measure of Ruach HaKodesh, the Holy Spirit will be beyond our human comprehension. God has reserved the best tasting wine and its pouring out until the end of the long spiritual night. The authoritative power of the Holy Wind of the Spirit will be heaven’s best to counter the violent move of evil causing sickness, despair, isolation, fear, uncertainty and death in our world. This evil is a universal backlash against the global Spirit-move for this time. The thirsty yearning hearts of the weary world will be immersed and calmed in the long awaited healing flow to be poured out profusely by Ruach HaKodesh.

RELEASE YOUR ENEMIES

The full and perfect time has come to release your enemies as we approach the 7th Sabbatical Year of Release( Shmita). A ‘kiaros’ timing is taking place with heaven’s release of the promised supernatural Spirit-power for this season. This phenomena and earth’s season of supernatural refreshing in a #NEWPENTECOST is here. As the carrier of the 7-fold healing and restoration strategic mantle I can announce it with unshakeable Spirit-endowed confidence.

This word was Spirit-revealed to me today , 11th August 2021. I believe it is an urgent word as the Spirit takes me through the final preparations for what God is about to do in His New Order. I also believe it is a serious word by virtue of the season we are entering into. Rosh Hashanah (5782) 2022,, the 7th Sabbatical ‘Year of Release’ (Shmita) is upon mankind.

Just let me put the word given to me into some context, It was at the ending of Pentecost/Shavuot in May that the Spirit revealed ’The Year of Release’ (Shmita) to me as He took me into Nehemiah 8. The Spirit drew me to the word given to Ezra to teach the displaced nation of Israel Yahweh’s law. The intervening years in captivity, subjugated to hostile nations, removed God’s law from the hearts of the erring people. False teachings and false worship had juxtaposition in the hearts as paganism was now deeply etched in their minds. As the people returned from captivity along with the elders and leaders, the compelling move of God was upon Ezra, Nehemiah and others to rebuild and secure Jerusalem and bring the nation back into a Covenant relationship with God. Ezra’s role in the rebuilding programme was to reinstate the teachings of the law and instil the requirements of the law in the hearts of the people. Many years under pagan captivity had caused their loyalty to the Holy One, Yahweh Kadosh to wane. God’s everlasting love and forgiveness towards His people shone through during a dark period of Israel’s spiritual chapter, as He makes provisions to resettle His people.

This 7th Sabbatical Year of Release is significant because I believe it will be the last one before the Rapture. Hence, its importance. What the Spirit is revealing as we enter into Rosh Hashanah is that the Spirit of Release will break forth to align with the word given me in Passover 2020 to put out a ‘Come With Me’ Invitation. The Invitation is linked to John 7:37, when Jesus announced on that great and last day of the Feast of Tabernacle in Jerusalem, ‘Come Drink of Me’.

Release Your Enemies

“He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” (Matthew 11:15, JKV) . The time is upon everyone to release their enemies. “At the end of every seven years you must cancel debts” (Deuteronomy 15:1). What I fear and see as I receive this in my spirit is the strength of evil that will grip the hearts of those who will not repent and forgive others. The spirit will let you know those you need to confess too and those you must release. What I am being fed is that this significant strategic move of God for the (5782) Year of Release is intended to cancel debts (our sins). “Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law.” (Romans 13:8, ESV). The greatest debt we owe each other is in the power to love and forgive. Love being the foundation of our faith is the completion of God’s law. To love and forgive others is the most beautiful thing. Jesus cancelled our debts at the cross and we are expected to follow in the footsteps of our Lord. His generous and unconditional love is what drew us to Him. In our Lord’s pardon of our sins we were moved by this undeserving gesture. We submitted under this compelling force of love. ”(In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 7:12). Since Jesus is the Law and the Spirit of Prophecy we can see that this verse indicates that Jesus is at the centre of this moving universal love and forgive releasing and healing experience for mankind.

God showed His love for Israel even though they were serial law breakers. We must move by faith to forgive our enemies no matter how difficult and painful the approach. Disobedience and rebellion are the antipathy of what God requires of His people. These hateful spirits are against God’s will, and their manifestations are end time characteristics of a deviant and corrupt heart. The resisting of the bidding of the Spirit of Release will usher in the fallen spirit that will cause the end time strengthening of rebellion in the children of disobedience. These signs will signal the great falling away. from the Body of Christ. “Now the Spirit expressly states that in later times some will abandon the faith to follow deceitful spirits and the teachings of demons, (2) influenced by the hypocrisy of liars, whose consciences are seared with a hot iron.” (1 Timothy 4;1,2, BSB

Rebuilding from the Ruin

“At that time all the people gathered together in the square before the Water Gate, and they asked Ezra the scribe to bring out the Book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded for Israel.” (Nehemiah 8:1, BSB) At the Water Gate in the square Ezra would stand on the ‘bimah’, a wooden platform to teach the people God’s law. “And Ezra the scribe stood upon a pulpit of wood, which they had made for the purpose; “ (Nehemiah 8:4,)

Further, my spirit has received that the world like Israel has fallen into pits of false religion and false worship. In every corner of the globe the worship of false gods and images, and the worship of created things is practised. Our fallenness has removed us from the True and Living God. What I am hearing is that the time is now when the global people will come into a central place chosen by El Makom, ‘the God of this place’. The heart is where He has chosen to meet mankind on His earth. But, there will be a central global square as something phenomenal takes place in this new season. The internet will serve its purpose to broadcast what is happening in this season as the chaos and change is reversed in God’s New Order.. From this raised global platform the people of the nations will be taught God’s law.

CLEANSING UNDER THE LIVING FLOW

“For I will pour water on the thirsty land, and currents on the dry ground. I will pour out My Spirit on your descendants, and My blessing on your offspring.” (Isaiah 44:3, BSB)

“And he said to me, “This water flows out to the eastern region and goes down into the Arabah. When it empties into the Sea, the water there becomes fresh. (9) Wherever the river flows, there will be swarms of living creatures and a great number of fish, because it flows there and makes the waters fresh; so wherever the river flows, everything will flourish.” (Ezekiel 44:8,9, BSB)

An Eternal Sacrifice

The requirements of the Old Covenant served their purposes under the Mosaic Tabernacle. Although it was a signpost of what was to come under the New Covenant, the Law of the Spirit. The external rituals and scrupulous cleansing routines became obsolete in the fullness of God’s time. “The blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who are ceremonially unclean sanctify them so that they are outwardly clean.” (Hebrews 9:13, NIV). The Levitical observances were intended as sacred holiness, inherently divine coming from God. Holiness cannot be achieved by one’s efforts, therefore the act of externalised cleansing is futile and an empty gesture since man is of the dust. We are a deteriorating entity from the time of our birth. Change and decay typifies our organic composition but under the blood of Jesus we can be raised up in His eternal state.. Under the blood of our LORD JESUS there is grace for our fallen corrupt being. ‘God’s law was given so that all people could see how sinful they were. But as people sinned more and more, God’s wonderful grace became more abundant.” (Romans 5:20, NLT). The law served to direct one to Christ. Further, it revealed our sinfulness but was ineffective to justify us before the Father. Under grace of the New Covenant we would experience the pure cleansing of the inner temple. The internalised works of purification would come under the intense heat of introspection of the Holy Spirit.

Searching of the Spirit

The seven eyes of the Spirit, a perfect and complete vision exposes the rottenness of the flesh and its carnal works. The Spirit discerns and searches into the deep crevices and compartments of the inner being. The nuances and long held inaccurate presumptions are revealed as the Word, like a chisel burrows away into the dead layers of issues and tissues, to heal the chronic festering wounds of our faulty cerebral processing system. “What then shall we say? Is the Law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have been mindful of sin if not for the Law. For I would not have been aware of coveting if the Law had not said, “Do not covet.”(Romans 7:7, ESV)

Transformation comes from the release of internalised scars and pains, a legacy of bondage, derived from holding onto a life time’s negative emotions. Religion lets one hold on to these yokes of oppression as they remain in its bondage. Our Lord became our burden bearer at the Cross. He carried all the pain, shame, oppression, depression, fears and doubts. The list is endless, but He carried them up Galgotha’s Hill and they were nailed to the Cross. We are truly released from the law of sin as its hidden works were laid bare on the Cross. There is no further need to abase one’s self in a futile emotional externalising of cleansing. These rituals could not wash away the indelible marks and stain of sin.

The burden, pain, shame, guilt and feelings of ‘not good enough’ to overcome the challenges of life would remain a facet of the ineffectiveness of the Mosaic law. A poignant reminder of our weaknesses and vulnerabilities in this house of clay. The cycle of defeat, being broken and disfigured by the guilt-prodding of the accuser, Satan would continue to be perpetuated without divine grace.

Unceasing Flow

“For the purification of the unclean person, take some of the ashes of the burnt purification offering, put them in a jar, and pour fresh running water over them.” (Numbers 19:7). The fresh running water to cleanse the impure person is a veiled reference being made of Jesus the Living Water. ‘Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’ (John 7:38, BSB). The time would come when that which was spoken of Him in scripture would be fulfilled, 16) Then Jesus came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. As was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath. And when He stood up to read, (17) the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to Him. Unrolling it, He found the place where it was written: (18) 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,” (19) to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.” (Luke 4:16-19, BSB). The mandate of our Lord did away with the need for the obsolete Old Levitical Covenant. No longer was there a need of cleansing for sin by the blood of animals to set the guilty sinner free. The Living Water flowing forth from JESUS’ mouth at the annual Feast of Tabernacle was the promise of its ceaseless flow, poured out from the living temple in the hearts of jars of clay. Vessels cleansed under the living flow.

Our Lord is more than enough for His people. One can be raised up from self-limiting behaviour by being Christ-focussed. The New Covenant of JESUS is defined by internal works of righteousness. The Spirit is the internal light that shines in a dark place. Illuminating works are undertaken to reveal the state of the heart. The daily spiritually cleansing routines of prayer and self-examination by the reading of the Word is the anecdote for sin. This is a far more excellent and superior way of cleansing the inner being that is hidden, secretive and unresponsive to spiritual cleansing from dead works without the urging of the Spirit. The Spirit is at work to refresh the thirsty soul, to give life in the Word. This has been made possible through the New Covenant of our LORD. “And He has qualified us as ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.’ (John 6:63, BSB)
