PROPHETIC CHAMBER

"There is nothing weightier, there is nothing that has more substance, energy, power, or life in it, than being united with God in what is on His heart."

The Ball of Fire

On June 6, 2007, I saw the Heavens open and a ball of fire like a meteorite coming straight for me. As I moved to dodge it, it reacted instantly, so I knew I could not escape. It hit me in the chest, and though I did not feel anything physically, fire went all over and within me. It burned, but not physically. It was a spiritual fire that I felt in my heart, not my body. I also felt exhilarated by it, refreshed and quickened.

Then, I saw the most beautiful bridal gown I had ever seen suspended above me. It was made of other-worldly material. It was the purest white, but it also emitted the most beautiful blue and gold. I could not imagine that a more beautiful gown had ever been made. I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Will you help My Bride put this on?" Then the vision ended.

The next day, I saw the Heavens open again, and I saw the ball of fire again. As I looked, understanding was given to me. The ball of fire was traveling through deep space. There was such a freshness and newness to everything, that I knew I was seeing this ball of fire at the beginning of creation. There was also great joy and beauty like that of a beautiful spring morning, even in space. Everything seemed to just emanate beauty, joy and freshness.

As I kept looking at this ball of fire, I saw into it. At its core there was another ball that was a blue/gold metal. This was the nuclear center that caused the fire, which was like a nuclear reaction going on from this inner sphere. This ball was made of the most dense, heavy matter possible. It was also the weightiest thing that mattered to God--His desire for His Bride.

I knew that was why I was struck by the ball of fire before being shown the bridal gown. The main fire, the main passion of God--is for His Bride.

I was being shown this at the beginning of creation, because I was to understand that this was the main thing on God's heart when He created the universe--His Bride, who would be His eternal companion. I knew I was given to understand the ages and ages in which this fire had existed without change, but also to understand both His patience and His resolve to have His Bride. This is the main reason He created the universe, and it is the main reason for its existence.

God loves His creation, both the spiritual and the natural. He loves every angel and every creature, which is why He notices when even a single sparrow falls to the ground. Even so, His first love is for His Bride. Though He loves the earth and all of creation, it was His Bride that was on His heart when He became a man and when He went to the Cross.

As I continued to watch the ball of fire, I understood why it burned me spiritually but not physically. This fire does not consume matter because its source is spiritual--it is a heart fire. It is what burns on God's heart. This is what gives life and is the source of life. This is why eternal life is to know Him, which is to know His heart.

God's Burning Heart

This was the fire which was in the burning bush that God talked to Moses through. The passion that burns on God's heart for His people is what was imparted to Moses. There is so much life in this fire which has burned from eternity. It imparted such life to Moses that when God took him at one hundred and twenty years old, he had not physically deteriorated. This is also the fire that accompanies the true baptism in the Holy Spirit. It is the passion for what is on God's heart. It is now coming to the earth again because it is time for God's people to be set free, to leave their bondage and cross over to their promised land--their inheritance.

It was this fire which also touched Abraham and Sarah, giving them the vision to leave all that they knew in Ur to pursue God's purpose. It was this fire which was in the smoking oven that Abraham saw when God sealed His covenant with him. This fire which was in their hearts gave such life to them that even when Sarah was ninety years old, she was still so physically beautiful that Abraham feared he would be killed by a king who would want her for himself. When we get close enough to God to be touched by that which burns on His heart, life is imparted that renews, not destroys. This is also why the Apostle John lived so long--he laid his head on God's breast and heard His heartbeat. Because John's heart was so close to God's heart, the indestructible life of God permeated him.

Moses was not rejuvenated by just seeing or being close to the Burning Bush, but by taking upon his own heart that which was on God's heart. Again, this is a heart fire, a spiritual fire. It is not by seeing the fire, or being close to it physically, but by uniting with what is on His heart. That which is burning on the heart of God has been there from eternity--it is indestructible and will never die. As we take what is on His heart onto our hearts, that same indestructible life is in us. This is what it really means to know God, to know the deepest things on His heart and to share these with Him in His ultimate purposes. We do not need to have a prophetic experience to do this, but just be a seeker of God. The true seekers of God, those who are truly close to Him, will burn with a fire that is unquenchable. They will not be lukewarm.

Again, there is nothing weightier, there is nothing that has more substance, energy, power, or life in it, than being united with God in what is on His heart. This is the ultimate quest of man--to be one with God and to have His heart. It says in Psalm 103:7, "He made known His ways to Moses, His acts to the sons of Israel." Moses was used to perform some of the greatest miracles God has performed through a man, yet Moses wanted to know God's ways, not just His acts. He wanted to be united with the Lord in what was on His heart, not just know what He was doing. We also see this in Exodus 33:12-16:

Then Moses said to the Lord, "See, You say to me, 'Bring up this people.' But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, 'I know you by name, and you have also found grace in My sight.' Now therefore, I pray, if I have found grace in Your sight, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find grace in Your sight. And consider that this nation is Your people."

And He said, "My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest." Then he said to Him, "If Your Presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found grace in Your sight, except You go with us? So we shall be separate, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth."

This is one of the most basic truths that must be recovered by the Church, so that she can come into her full purpose and stature and become the pure and spotless Bride that He is worthy to have. Programs and good works can be noble endeavors because we were also created for good works, but they are not the main thing. The main thing is to love God and to love what He loves, and to hate what He hates.

God's Passionate Friends

"This fire is going to touch the earth again, and those who are His messengers will burn with it."

The basic calling for every Christian is to become like Him and to do the works that He did. We become like Him by seeing His glory, "But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord," (II Corinthians 3:18). The works come from His nature. He does not want us to just be used to heal the sick, but to be used to heal them for the same reason He healed them--He loves people. However, if we do not love God more than we love people, we cannot love people the way that we should.

It has been said that anyone will quit except for the one who is in love. Commitment, duty, honor, devotion to good works and devotion to the truth are all good things and can help to keep us on the path of life, but when the ultimate test comes, only those who love will stand; only those who love will stay the course.

The greatest passion of God (the fire that burns in His heart), is for His Bride, the Church. This fire is going to touch the earth again, and those who are His messengers will burn with it. They will arise with this passion to see the Bride make herself ready. A new breed of ministry is being commissioned now. These are the true friends of the Bridegroom. These will be spiritual eunuchs for the sake of the Kingdom.

A eunuch cannot have a desire for the Bride or to use her for his own purposes; rather, his whole satisfaction comes from seeing the King's satisfaction with His Bride--this will be their passion. The new breed of ministry will not abuse the Bride; their whole purpose will be to help the Bride make herself ready for the King.

The new breed of ministry will not use the people to build their ministries, they will use their ministries to build people. This will result in a revolution in the Church. Selfish ambition will be driven from the ministry of the Church. Christians will begin to love each other and serve out of love. The result of this will be a society of saints who will become a marvel in the earth and a true light to the world.

Those who understand the times are not nearly as focused on what the devil is doing as they are on what the Lord is doing. The greatest
sign that the end of the age is near will be the Bride emerging in the glory that she is called to walk in. The Lord will not come until His Bride is ready. Her preparation for the greatest of all events--the union of Christ with His Bride, will accelerate as we get closer to the end of this age.

The Bridal Gown Fashioned by Artists

As I shared above, the bridal gown was beyond anything of beauty that I had ever seen on any garment. Not only was it made of otherworldly material, it was fashioned by artists of otherworldly gifts. This, too, is an important message. These gifts are being given to the Church to help the Bride get ready.

In the Old Testament, we often find quotes saying that the Spirit of God came on someone, such as we see in II Chronicles 15:1 or II Chronicles 24:20. However, it was Bezalel who was the first person in the Bible about whom it was said that he was "filled with the Spirit," which we see in Exodus 31:1-5:

Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "See, I have called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah. And I have filled him with the Spirit of God in wisdom, in understanding, in knowledge, and in all kinds of craftsmanship, to make artistic designs for work in gold, in silver, and in bronze, and in the cutting of stones for settings, and in the carving of wood, that he may work in all kinds of craftsmanship."

Think about this fact: An artist was the first person to be filled with the Holy Spirit, not a priest, king or prophet. This should give us a definite sense of the importance that the Lord gave to art. His dwelling place, the tabernacle, which is a blueprint or model for the Church, the "dwelling place not made with hands," had to be fashioned by the best of all artists.

There is a power in art that the Church has not generally recognized for many centuries now. It must be recovered because the Lord is going to give the artists in His house unprecedented power to prophesy through their art.

When we look at nature, any sunset, or any snowflake, it is obvious that there is no artist like God. It is His nature. However, all of the beauty that we see was made out of His love for mankind. It is a gift. This love motivated His art. If you have ever seen a sunset or something of great beauty and had a sense that it was made especially for you to see--it was. God's art is for His people. The reverse is about to become true--the highest art of mankind will come from a love for God.

There is an anointing coming upon artists that is even greater than that which was given to Bezalel for building the tabernacle of Moses. That was but a type, and what is coming is the fulfillment. The glory of the New Covenant is greater than the former, and that which is given to help adorn the Bride will be greater than that which came to help adorn the type. We will not continue to look back at the great masters in history--the greatest masters of all will be now.

There is an anointing that is about to come upon artists that will be from the Holy Spirit. Art will again be motivated by love for God. This art will have a prophetic power such as has not been given to mankind before. The more pure the love, the more pure and powerful the art will be. These are gifts from God to His Bride, and they will touch her in profound ways to draw her heart to Him and be used to express her heart for Him.

The truest art will always come out of the highest worship, and will be high worship. This is why, at the end of this age, the most creative gifts the world will have ever seen will come from the Church. These will be a part of the garment that she will wear, and what she wears will reflect what is in her heart. She will see His glory, she will reflect His glory, and she will produce glory in all that she does. Glory will be her garment, and it will be like a train that follows after her.

The Hebrew word for glory is "kabowd" which literally means "weight." The ultimate glory of the Bride is the weightiest thing in all of creation--it is the love that the Lord has for her. Her true glory is that she was in the Lord's heart from the very beginning; it has never changed and never will. She is the passion of God. Because of this, there will be a whole new revelation of the coming wedding feast.

The greatest joy of the creation will be to see the Creator's joy in His Bride. This is the joy that will begin to motivate the new breed of ministry, some of whom will also be the greatest artisans of all time, and will be truly filled with the Spirit.

I am not just talking about painters, sculptors or musicians in this art, but also the true apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers who were given for the equipping of the saints to become the Church we are called to be. They will be so creative in their ministries, that ministry will become one of the most compelling attractions of all.

The crafting of words in messages will start to come with such creative power that multitudes will be drawn to their oratory. This is not about entertainment, but an anointing on the art of speaking that the Word of God is worthy to be adorned with.

Creativity, the basic nature of the blessed Creator, will shine through His Church as a witness of His nature. Because her heart will be in such unity with the Creator, creativity will flow from everything she does. The greatest music and the greatest art of every kind will come from the Church as worship to the Lord. These gifts will also both draw and equip the Bride for her highest purpose--her union with the King. It will begin to draw the nations to the feast.

A High Purpose

As I write this, it is only a short time after this prophetic experience and it still dominates my thinking. It has also reoriented my understanding of some basic issues. From the beginning of my Christian life, I have had an understanding of the importance of the Church and how essential a healthy local Church life is to true Christian maturity and the importance of being positioned to fulfill our purpose on the earth.

Therefore, I have always sought to build the local Church in all that I do, and to keep a heart for the whole Body of Christ. Even so, before, I had seen the Church as a means to an end--the means for preparing the way for the Kingdom to come; this is her calling of course, but not her main purpose. I saw the Kingdom as a higher purpose, but that has now been reversed--the Church is the higher purpose.

This may seem subtle, and I do not think it will change any of my teaching as much as it will change my devotion and orientation. I now have a fire on me for the Church that I have not had before. I feel a burning desire to see her become all that she is called to be, and to be the Bride that our King is worthy to have.

I think it is more than important to have an understanding of the Kingdom--it is crucial. The Kingdom was the message that the Lord came to preach, and it is the Gospel of the Kingdom that must be preached before the end of this age can come. However, the way that we can best help prepare the way for the Kingdom is to help the Church become what she is called to be.

The Lord is not going to come back to set up His Kingdom until His Bride is ready for Him and ready to rule and reign with Him in the Kingdom.

The Lord loves the earth and all it contains. He will restore it to its original purpose as a true paradise, but it is the Bride which makes His heart beat faster, and a main reason for the creation is to enjoy it with His Bride.

We may think that for the Church to see this it would make her arrogant and egocentric, but there are enough forces in the world determined to keep her humble. She needs to see her high purpose to start to live in a manner worthy of her calling. Christians, as the Church, are the true royalty in the earth, and she must start to carry herself with the dignity and respect of her most royal blood. Of course, this is not to be served, but to serve, and to do it with all of the authority she has been given.

Because of this, one of the most important things that all of us can do is find our place in His Church and begin to do all that we can to help her become ready for Him. The true friends of the Bridegroom will never give up on this because of their love for Him. They will not let any disappointments or discouragements deter them from this purpose. The Lord will have a worthy Bride, and those who love will never quit until He does. This is the new breed.

The Weightiest Matter

A few days after I had this revelation, I shared it with Bob Jones. He immediately related it to an astronomical discovery that I was not aware of, which is the recent finding of "the father of all supernovas." The Heavens are given for signs (see Genesis 1:14; Psalm 19). This is a major sign and a timely one. It is believed that at the heart of a supernova there is matter so dense, so heavy, that a teardrop size amount of it would have more weight than all human beings on the earth.

This matter is so heavy that it has such a gravitational pull, and it creates "black holes" because this super gravity even keeps light from escaping it. This supernova is supposed to be much larger than any ever discovered before. If it is the greatest of all, then the weightiest matter in creation would be at the center of it. That is what I saw in the middle of the ball of fire--the weightiest matter in the universe because it is what matters to God the most.

The discovery is no accident, and its timing is prophetic. I expect those who gaze into the true Heavens are likewise going to discover this weightiest of all matters, the Lord's love for His Bride. Just as supernovas create the biggest explosions in the universe and the greatest light emitted in the universe before they become the "black hole" by the denseness of their gravity, I am expecting a similar explosion of greater power than has ever been released before, and greater light than what may ever have been seen before through the Church. By this, she is going to be transformed very quickly into all she is called to be.

The earth hardly even qualifies as a speck of dust in the expanse of the universe. Why would it be given such importance? As King David pondered in Psalm 8, what is man that God would even consider any of us? He is looking for a Bride, a companion, to share His creation with--to share eternity with. That is your calling. There is no higher calling in all of creation than to be a part of His Bride, the Church. She will even ultimately judge angels, sharing His authority, sitting on His throne with Him. As we get closer to Him, we will begin to walk in this.

Again, the main thing that we can do to help the earth in a permanent and lasting way is to help the Church become what she is called to be. The most effective way that we can do this is by loving God more, knowing Him better, abiding in Him and directing the Church's attention to who He is. The Church is in desperate need of knowing who she is called to be, but it is not by knowing who we are in Christ that we will be changed, but by knowing who He is in us.

We do not want to worship the temple of the Lord, but the Lord of the temple. Even so, as we come to understand His love for His Bride, we will do everything we can to help her get ready for Him because of our love for Him.

"We need to live in what He has done, and not in what we are trying to do."

Recently, when I arrived on the East Coast for a weekend of ministry, I was met at the airport by some very excited ladies. "We are so glad you're here!" one of them exclaimed, "We really need a touch from God." My husband, David, and I hear this quite often.

It concerns me when people seek after a "touch from God," because God has something better for us--His provision is for us to live in His glory. I understand people's heart and desire for God, but if we learn to live in His glory, then we can become a source of the touch from God. We don't have to seek after one.

Changing Mindsets

Although God will bless His people, there are some things that He will not agree with--for example, our religious mindsets. The Holy Spirit cannot stay and dwell in these wrong concepts as they are contrary to the truth, because He is the Spirit of Truth. God has shown me three very important mindsets that we need to change.

The first mindset is one that most Christians can be guilty of. Either consciously or unconsciously, we are trying to change our old nature (old man) and improve ourselves. We fail to realize that Jesus never came to do that. Jesus crucified the old man so that by faith, we can walk in the new man who is already created in righteousness and holiness.

Because of this, the enemy tries to make people feel they are not qualified to live in the supernatural realm--but remember, satan is a liar and a thief. Jesus qualified us 100 percent. It's never 90 percent God, 10 percent us--it's 100 percent Him. The supernatural realm of angels, Heavenly visitations and the chariots of God were meant to be a normal part of our lives. They are manifestations of the Glory of God.

As you behold the glory of the Lord "...we are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord" (2 Corinthians 3:18).

He is going to "...present you faultless before the presence of His glory...." (Jude 1:24).

We are His trophy and His workmanship. He is the One who does the work, while we do the yielding. We need to live in what He has done, and not in what we are trying to do. Don't pray for God to send His glory--He already has. We aren't changed from glory to glory by trying--we're changed by His Spirit.

The second thing that we are prone to is "false responsibility." We are responsible for what He gives us, and that is it! A heavy spirit makes people feel responsible for things and people they can do nothing about. We cannot change anyone, and we certainly can't make anyone do something.

Many revivals have been quenched by this religious spirit. A young revivalist was used mightily in the great Welsh revival. He was a vessel and the glory of God flowed through him. Then, after a year, he began to make himself responsible for how the people responded to the Spirit. If they did not respond the way he thought they should, he would leave the meeting or shut it down. This brought a spirit of heaviness into the land and onto the people because it was not his responsibility.

Our responsibility is to do what He tells us to do, say what He asks us to say, and go where He wants us to go

That is all God requires from us--and we get to keep our joy!

The third religious thing we fall into is carrying "false burdens." As intercessors, we need only to yield to the Spirit. When that anointing falls on us and we do some warfare, we have to remember that it isn't us, it's the anointing from Heaven. We may do some declaring, or we may laugh, weep or fall down on the floor and cry out, but no matter what, the burden will eventually lift because Jesus is the Ultimate Intercessor seated at the right hand of the Father.

Once, I belonged to an intercession group in Florida. We got into some battles where the burden was so heavy, it felt like a dark cloud weighing down on us. Finally, someone prayed for the group and cast out the false burden. We actually felt it lift. We laughed and took a break because there are times when you need a break to get back under the anointing.

God called us first to enjoy Him--after all, if we don't enjoy Him, why are we serving Him?

Your Mindsets DO Affect the Moves of the Spirit

That is why moves of the Spirit come and go. Why is there a powerful move of God in a certain church or ministry, but after a couple of years it dissipates? People wonder, are puzzled and may be hurt by it, but often it is a result of a spirit of abortion that causes the move of God to be terminated. Unfortunately, it affects the people who have been enjoying that move of the Holy Spirit and the presence of the Lord.

When my husband and I came into the things of the Spirit, we had layers of theology and head knowledge. We could dot every theological "i" and cross every doctrinal "t." We began to seek the Lord. We were hungry for God. Then we came into a powerful revival in the South of London. People were coming from everywhere and the presence of God was overwhelming. Our biggest stumbling block was not our worldly ways, but our theology and head knowledge.
We had to learn that when the Body came together and let God move, it really wasn't about who or what, it was all about Him. No one really cared what happened as long as the beautiful presence of Jesus was there.

People left the meetings and never made it to the bus stop. They would fall out under the anointing and lie in peoples' front yards, hang in trees or sprawl out in the bushes. When people called to get directions to the meeting, we would have to tell them, "You will find people lying in the street outside; don't take any notice, just step over them and come on in." The glory of God was on everyone--the banker, the trash man, the child, the aged.

Sometimes we just have to sit at the feet of Jesus, rest, and let Him shower us with His love. He is not asking us to run around 24/7 getting all worn out.

He is the lover and keeper of our soul. We are the apple of His eye, His beloved. We can rest and live in His glory because He has covered us with it. Remember, He called us for Himself--we are His treasures!

From the desk of Daniel Glimm:

Beloved of the Lord, this prophetic word shall serve us as a pointer to the coming year. We will enter in to the new hebrew year 5768, which is under the banner "The year of the full circle of life".

I felt to publish this prophetic word before the new hebrew year 5768 will start, which will begin on the 13`th September 2007. Please pray over this word and declare the plan of the Father for the new year 5768 and 2008, which will begin for us in about a month.

--
Honkers carry the word in prayer!

I ask every prophetic intercessor, who is reading this word, to move it in prayer and bring it in front of the Lord.

In his article "Prophetic Prayer For the Burning Bush", which was published in "The Voice Of The Prophetic"(page 16) of the Elijah List, Lou Engle wrote in August 2006 about the connection between prophets and prophetic intercessors.

He wrote the following:

"He gave us a defining word. He said: "We need to have the eagles (the prophets), who see the vision in the spirit, but we have to have the honkers (the wild geese intercessors), who fly in "V-formation" to break through into the second heaven, and pray the visions of the eagles into being. Intercessors are the stewards of the prophetic promises of the church."

That is why I see the necessity of this word being carried in an interceeding "V-formation":

The Bull

Again and again the Holy Spirit has put his emphasis on the bull during past weeks.
One day I even beheld a hole in the sky with the shape of a bull.
I brougth this before the Lord. A few days later a saint told me that she sensed a strong emphasis of the Holy Spirit on the bull. This was a confirmation to me.

In 2007 the lion was of great importance and I sense the Holy Spirit emphasizing in 2008 the second creature in front of God`s throneroom (Rev 4: 6-7 ).

Revelation 4,6-7:
6 Also before the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. In the center, around the throne, were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back.
7 The first living creature was like a lion, the second was like an ox, the third had a face like a man, the fourth was like a flying eagle.

In 2008 the bull will have a great importance for God`s people.

The meaning of the ox

The ox is a pointer to God`s strength, patience and faithfulness (explanation from the Jerusalem Bible and the Walvoord Bible Commentary concerning Rev 4: 6-7)

The strength and the open gates

In 2008 we will experience the outpouring of God`s power on earth stronger than ever before. God will open his floodgates. Cindy Jacobs wrote in the prophetic article "The Areas That Have Seen Flooding Will Now See The Work Of The Holy Spirit" from 06/29/2007. The year 2008 is the year of open gates!

This was also confirmed by the prophetic appearance in Pastor Shelley`s bedroom in June 2007, who wrote the following:

In the early morning of May 2nd 2007 just before Paul Keith Davis was preparing the Harvest Cconference at Daphne, Pastor Shelley had another wonderful experience with a supernatural portal. In May 12 he shared his experience with his local church:
“We talked about the good things of God and went to bed.
In the early morning hours I awoke and there I saw the portal. It was only the second time that I had seen it that way.
But now the portal was not at the wall of my bed. It appeared at the brink of the ceiling. In other words, instead of being at the wall, it was higher above the wall at the ceiling. It had the same shape and size as the first portal which I had seen.
It came from the floor and was green, shining green. And the green rays were so long and beamy., that they filled the foot of the king size bed in which my wife and I laid. The rays bathed the foot of the bed in green.
The presence of the Lord was so strong. For some minutes I forgot that I was married. I didn`t even think about my wife being present. The presence of the Lord was so real.
Nothing was spoken. I couldnt ask for anything. The green light was just there.
Suddenly there was a motion. I looked up. The lights, it looked as if the portal was seperated from where it hung. Then it started to move in the shape of an "eight" over the foot and then over our whole large bed.
And then it moved to the other side of the little room. It looked like a suite, a small living quarter. And then it began to move to the bed of our baby.
It moved in the figure of an "eight".
And then it rushed through the whole room and out of the door. And, as it did, it was like this sound: "Shooom!"

Reformation of broken covenants

The number "8" has the biblical meaning of "renewal" and I am convinced that the Holy Spirit is going to restore broken covenants in 2008. There will be powerful healings of broken marriages in the body of Christ and many servants of the Lord will come into the ministries which He has promised them years ago.

Warning of idolatry

During times of God`s displayed power, it is important not to make that the center of our life. We are not to make his power a substitute for intimacy with God, as the people of Israel did in former days.

Exodus 32,1-6
When the people saw that Moses was so long in coming down from the mountain, they gathered around Aaron and said: "Come, make us gods who will go before us. As for this fellow Moses who brought us up out of Egypt, we don`t know what has happened to Him."
Aaron answered them, "take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughtes are wearing; and bring them to me."
So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron.
He took what they handed him and made it into an idol cast in the shape of a calf, fashioning it with a tool. Then they said: "These are your gods, o Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt."
When Aaron saw this, he built an altar infront of the calf and announced, "Tomorrow there will be a festival to the Lord."
So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings. Afterwards they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.

The patience of the Spirit

The patience of many saints will be tested in 2008. Do they really submit to God`s timing, or do they impatiently enter into a premature delivery zone?
Be careful not to give birth to a premature child. Stay in the fruit of the Spirit (see Galatians 5:22-23).

Galatians 5,22-23:
22 But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-contol. Against such things there is no law.

Keep watch over each other in 2008

The phrase "regard" will have a high meaning for us, God`s people, in 2008. 

Care and regard among God`s children will be very important in the coming year.  The leaders of the church will be summoned to have regard for the people of God whether on international, national or regional level. (Acts 20:28 ; 1 Peter 5:2 ; Rom 16:17 ; Col 3:16)

Acts 20,28:
Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood.

1.Peter 5,2:
Be shepherds of God`s flock that is under your care, serving as overseers, not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be; not greedy for money, but eager to serve;

Romans 16,17:
I urge you brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and purt obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them.

Colossians 3,16:
Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

Faithfulness

In 2008 the Holy Spirit will reveal many unfaithful attitudes of heart among his children. A new move of Holiness will form among the youth in 2008. It will flow more strongly into lukewarm areas of the church, and as a result, a cry for repentance will clearly be heard.

God`s firewater will lick up the false waters on the altar of the church. (1.Kings 18: 34-38)

1.Kings 18,34-38:
"Do it again,"he said, and they did it again. "Do it a third time," he ordered and they did it a third time.
The waters ran down around the altar and even filled the trench.
At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: "O Lord, God of Abraham Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command.
Answer me, O Lord, answer me, so that these people will know that you, O Lord, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again."
Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.

This situation will cause the restoration of a new, deep love in the heart of the church toward her bridegroom Jesus. There will be a a turning back to the first love. (Rev 2: 4-5)

Revelation 2,4-5:
Yet I hold this against you: You have forsaken your first love.
Remember the height from which you have fallen! Repent and do the things you did at first. If you do not repent, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place.

The Color "Red"

The color "red" will have a great meaning in 2008.

Just as the bull in an arena is hunting for the red cloth of the matador, in the same way there will be a strong connection between the display of God`s power and the blood of Jesus. Both will be closely connected. God`s power will manifest where the blood of Jesus is held in reverence.

A mighty wave of forgiveness will flow in places where the power of God is manifesting.

The strength of false bulls

Furthermore the Holy Spirit will make the false bulls incapable of action.
Everything built on your own strength will fall.

Zechariah 4,6 will be more meaningful to us as God`s people in 2008.

Zechariah 4,6:
So he said to me, "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit," says the Lord Almighty.

The Holy Spirit will overthrow all power, which has been planted or has it`s origin in Babel (symbol for works of the flesh)

The name Zerubbabel means:

"made in; planted in Babel; sprout of Babel"

At the same time, the Lord will save many lost people from the world and make them warriors in his kingdom.

Scarifying (in german: vertikutieren)

To scarify means: To scratch the sod of a lawn in order to remove moss and mulch and advance the aeration of the ground.

The original german word ("vertikutieren") is a connection between the word "vertical" and the word "cut".

The spiritual meaning of scarifying

In 2008 the Holy Spirit will scarify the acre of the church, and liberate it from sinful influences with a special force which is released from heaven.
He will deploy faithful people in the church of Christ and remove those who are unfaithful.

This is a matter of a divine "cut off" from heaven.
This action will strongly be accompanied by the presence of the angels. (Matt 13:36-43)

Matthew 13,36-43:
Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said: "Explain to us the parable of the weed in the fields."� He answered, the one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man.
The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom.The weeds are the sons of the evil ohne and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are the angels.
As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age.
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.
They will throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him hear.

Amen and Amen.

Daniel Glimm
