PROPHETIC CHAMBER

Because we are entering into the season of Sukkot - The Fest of Tabernacles I want to share some revelation, that the Lord has given me for this season.

Sukkot is the season, where we as saints remember the people of Israel as they were living in tents while they left Egypt and went through the desert.
It also celebrates the abundance of God’s blessings in connection with the ingathering of the fall harvest, which is close connected to joy (see Leviticus 23:39-44; Deuteronomy 16:13-17; Nehemiah 8:14-18).

Leviticus 23:39-44 (NIV):
39 “ ‘So beginning with the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have gathered the crops of the land, celebrate the festival to the Lord for seven days; the first day is a day of sabbath rest, and the eighth day also is a day of sabbath rest.
40 On the first day you are to take branches from luxuriant trees—from palms, willows and other leafy trees—and rejoice before the Lord your God for seven days.
41 Celebrate this as a festival to the Lord for seven days each year. This is to be a lasting ordinance for the generations to come; celebrate it in the seventh month.
42 Live in temporary shelters for seven days: All native-born Israelites are to live in such shelters 43 so your descendants will know that I had the Israelites live in temporary shelters when I brought them out of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.’ ”
44 So Moses announced to the Israelites the appointed festivals of the Lord.

Deuteronomy 16:13-17 (NIV):
13 Celebrate the Festival of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor and your winepress.
14 Be joyful at your festival—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites, the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns.
15 For seven days celebrate the festival to the Lord your God at the place the Lord will choose. For the Lord your God will bless you in all your harvest and in all the work of your hands, and your joy will be complete.
16 Three times a year all your men must appear before the Lord your God at the place he will choose: at the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the Festival of Weeks and the Festival of Tabernacles. No one should appear before the Lord empty-handed: 17 Each of you must bring a gift in proportion to the way the Lord your God has blessed you.

Nehemiah 8:14-18 (NIV):
14 They found written in the Law, which the Lord had commanded through Moses, that the Israelites were to live in temporary shelters during the festival of the seventh month 15 and that they should proclaim this word and spread it throughout their towns and in Jerusalem: “Go out into the hill country and bring back branches from olive and wild olive trees, and from myrtles, palms and shade trees, to make temporary shelters”—as it is written.
16 So the people went out and brought back branches and built themselves temporary shelters on their own roofs, in their courtyards, in the courts of the house of God and in the square by the Water Gate and the one by the Gate of Ephraim.
17 The whole company that had returned from exile built temporary shelters and lived in them. From the days of Joshua son of Nun until that day, the Israelites had not celebrated it like this. And their joy was very great.
18 Day after day, from the first day to the last, Ezra read from the Book of the Law of God. They celebrated the festival for seven days, and on the eighth day, in accordance with the regulation, there was an assembly.

The needed equipment to build up a tent

Every time a tent is established, it is made for a visitation or a temporal habitation of persons/ “spiritual beings” (see Genesis 18:1-3).

Genesis 18:1-3 (NIV):
1 The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day.
2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
3 He said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, do not pass your servant by.

It means to host someone in your tent you have first to build it up and expand/ enlarge it. To do this, you need all equipment for it (note: tent curtains, cords and stakes; see Isaiah 54:2) which is represented by the seasons of preparation through Pessach (see Exodus 12 & 13), Shavuot (see Leviticus 23:15-22) and The days of Awe/ Jom Kippur (note: The Day of Atonement- see Leviticus 16 in conjunction with Leviticus 23:26-32), so that we can enter right equipped into the Feast of Tabernacles.

Isaiah 54:2 (NIV):
2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; lengthen your cords, strengthen your stakes. …”

The season of the greater glory

Sukkot is the season of the increase of a greater divine glory!
God dwelt in the past in the Tabernacle, in the temple, in Jesus and He is today dwelling in us through His Holy Spirit (see Exodus 40:34-35; 1 Kings 8:2.10-13; John 1:14; 1 Corinthians 3:16-17).

Exodus 40:34-35:
34 Then the cloud covered the tent of meeting, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.
35 Moses could not enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the Lord filled the tabernacle.

1 Kings 8:2.10-13:
2 All the Israelites came together to King Solomon at the time of the festival in the month of Ethanim, the seventh month.
10 When the priests withdrew from the Holy Place, the cloud filled the temple of the Lord.
11 And the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled his temple.
12 Then Solomon said, “The Lord has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud; 13 I have indeed built a magnificent temple for you, a place for you to dwell forever.”

John 1:14:
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

1 Corinthians 3:16-17:
16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?
17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person; for God’s temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.

The supernatural visitation of the Holy Spirit in the morning

Last year in the morning of the 18`th of September 2013 at 05.48 o’clock in the fourth night watch (note: It was the Gregorian day of the beginning of Sukkot in the evening.) I had a supernatural visitation, where I heard it audibly knocking at the door of my room.
As I awoke I asked who was there and all of a sudden I saw my spirit hovering over the door case.
I could see on one side to the corridor and on the other side into my room.
In front of my room door I saw the appearance of the Holy Spirit in form of my deceased grandmother and He asked if He could come in. First I was a little bit irritated by that appearance and asked who “she” was and I knew it was the Holy Spirit in the facet of wisdom. I welcomed Him into my room and began later to meditate about the visitation.
My grandmothers name is “Gisela” and we called her in her life time also “little granny” (note: symbol of humility).
The name “Gisela” means amongst other meanings “pledge/ deposit, bailsman” and is pointing to the Holy Spirit in accordance to 2 Corinthians 1:21-22; 2 Corinthians 5:5 and Ephesians 1:13-14.

2 Corinthians 1:21-22:
21 Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

2 Corinthians 5:5:
5 Now the one who has fashioned us for this very purpose is God, who has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.

Ephesians 1:13-14:
13 And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, 14 who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God’s possession—to the praise of his glory.

The forth night watch

The forth night watch extends from 03.00 h – 06.00 h a.m. (see Exodus 30:7; Exodus 34:2; Joshua 6:12; Ruth 3:13-14; 1 Samuel 3:15; 2 Samuel 24:11; Nehemiah 4:15; Matthew 14:25; Mark 1:35; John 21:4).
It is the time, which is connected with the increasing morning light and the daybreak.
It is the last part of the night, in which the Lord is preparing the saint for the coming day.
The forth night watch is the time to make declarations into the personal life, the family, the workplace, the church, the environment and the future.

The new day of God’s glory- the hand of the Father and the back of Christ

The Lord showed me by this above named explanation, that a new day of His glorious presence and guidance has begun, that is linked with the Fathers hand (note: to feel) and the loving work of His Son, who bore all pain, sickness, sin …  (note: to see; see Exodus 33:18-23; Isaiah 53:4).

Exodus 33:18-23:
18 Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.”
19 And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”
21 Then the Lord said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock.
22 When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.
23 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back (note: the wounds of Christ); but my face must not be seen.”

Isaiah 53:4:
4 Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted.
5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.

The Sapphire Pavement of God

Through this revelation the Holy Spirit reminded me of the time as Moses, Aaron with his sons and the 70 elders (note: the potential of revelatory wisdom= 70: number value of the Hebrew letter “Ajin”- means “eye or well”) feasted in the glorious presence of God, that was linked to the sapphire pavement (see Exodus 24:9-11).

Exodus 24:9-11:
9 Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and the seventy elders of Israel went up 10 and saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was something like a pavement made of lapis lazuli (note: sapphire), as bright blue as the sky.
11 But God did not raise his hand against these leaders of the Israelites; they saw God, and they ate and drank.

The First Sign of Jesus Glory at Cana

Also the Lord reminded me on the first sign of Jesus as He revealed His glory at the wedding of Cana, (note: means “reed”- see Isaiah 42:3) which carries two cups of life (note: 1.forgiveness/ redemption- Pessach and 2.glory- Sukkot) (see John 2:1-12).

John 2:1-12:
1 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding.
3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”
4 “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.”
5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” (note: Mary had faith for the 1'st sign of Jesus glory to be revealed at this time!)
6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.
7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.
8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.
12 After this he went down to Capernaum with his mother and brothers and his disciples. There they stayed for a few days.

Jesus at Sukkot and the season afterwards

Sukkot is pointing also to the season, where you go up higher and where evil powers can not set you captive, even though the enemy wants it (see John 7:10.30.44)!

John 7:10.30.44:
10 However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he (note: Jesus) went also (note: up to Jerusalem), not publicly, but in secret.
30 At this they tried to seize him (note: Jesus), but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
44 Some wanted to seize him (note: Jesus), but no one laid a hand on him.

Sukkot is the season of the increasing presence of God's joy, that creates a powerful realm of strength, so that the evil forces can not seize you (see Nehemiah 8:10)!

Nehemiah 8:10:
10 Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is holy to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.”

The living waters and the readiness for the release of true mercy!

At Sukkot Jesus spoke also about the powerful increase of the Holy Spirit, that is coming out of those, who are longing after Him and believe in Him as the Scripture is saying it (see John 7:37-38).

John 7:37-38:
37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.
38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”

It is not a coincidence, that Sukkot is celebrated in the month of Ethanim, which means also “the month of the flowing brooks or the abundance of rain”.

After the Sukkot season Jesus released true mercy to an adulteress women, where He bent down two times and wrote into the sand to confront the spirit of accusation, that worked through the Pharisees and the teachers of the law (see John 8:1-11).

John 8:1-11:
… 1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.
2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them.
3 The teachers of the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman was caught in the act of adultery.
5 In the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women. Now what do you say?”
6 They were using this question as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him. But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger.
7 When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them, “Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.
9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there.
10 Jesus straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?”
11 “No one, sir,” she said. “Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your life of sin.”

I am convinced, that Jesus used the “two blades” of the living double edged sword of the word of God to release judgment to the accuser in the atmosphere and divine mercy to the adulteress women, who was ready to repent (see Jeremiah 17:13; Hebrews 4:12-13).

Jeremiah 17:13:
13 Lord, you are the hope of Israel; all who forsake you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust because they have forsaken the Lord, the spring of living water.
(note: The Pharisees and the teachers of the law rejected to believe, that Jesus was THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD.)

Hebrews 4:12-13:
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.
13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Amen and Amen.

In His overflowing living water and mercy,

The Leviathan - a twisting spirit

The Leviathan Spirit has many characteristics, but it mainly manifests itself as pride. The very word "Leviathan" means "to twist." In Scripture this spirit is regarded as a sea monster or seen as a serpent of some type.

We have come into an amazing time of challenge and change in the Body of Christ. The Lord is fundamentally tearing down many of the false constructs many of us have stood upon with great confidence for years. Whenever the Lord begins to do this type of deep inner healing and reconstructive work, there is a natural tendency to grasp for the familiar and protect what we've always known. We tend to scurry to the familiar. However, Leviathan seeks to take you steps beyond natural apprehension into demonic rebellion.

Leviathan is deceptive because it preys upon very real hurts and wrongs that have happened to you. Your pain is not imagined; you were actually wronged, but Leviathan is seeking to make you fix your gaze solely on your problem so you never pull back from how you were wronged and pray the heroic prayer: "Lord, heal ME!"

Leviathan shrouds itself in religious activity by allowing you to get overly involved in church work, ministering to others, and even praying religious prayers for the people who hurt you, but this spirit will attempt to not allow you to take a look in the mirror and ask God for His word about you. Leviathan is a prideful spirit that won't let you honestly confront your own faults and dysfunctions. This spirit causes you to embrace your old constructs and call right what God is clearly calling wrong.

Leviathan is a twisting serpent and destroys its prey much like a boa constrictor in the natural. It wraps itself around you and covers you such that you cannot see, hear, or speak properly. Leviathan blinds you from seeing what God is doing in the reconstruction work of your life, he covers your ears so you can't hear what God is trying to tell your heart, and he'll try to silence your voice so even though you maintain the ability to talk, nothing that you're saying makes any sense or is in alignment with what God is trying to do. Your words, if he is successful will actually become devoid of any power. Ultimately, Leviathan attempts to squeeze the life out of you until there's nothing left.

A season of great reconstruction

This is a season of the great reconstruction. A time when God is building a new force of elite soldiers that will ascend their mountain of culture but also possess the character to stay on top and release God's love and healing in a manner that brings glory to Him. He is purposefully poking you where it hurts and forcing you to deal with internal issues you've masqueraded and hid behind for too long. This is a time when "judgment is beginning with the house of Israel," and it doesn't always feel good. However our relationship with the Father is not based on feeling, it's based on faith, and this is a time to renew our trust in Him.
The time to yield to God's hand is now; He's awaiting your surrender, and He's made a promise to construct an upgraded thing that's so much better than you ever could have imagined for yourself or ever could have come into by following your old pathologies and patterns. Ironically, there's another word in the Old Testament for twisting, and it's translated as "wait" in Isaiah 40:31.
Here the Father instructs us to "wait" upon the Lord. He wants us to braid or twist ourselves around Him and, when we do, our strength is renewed, we'll mount up with wings as eagles, we'll run and not become weary, and we'll walk and not faint. In this time of great change don't allow Leviathan to twist himself around you; why don't you twist yourself around God?

4 Keys To Confronting Leviathan

1) Come In The Opposite Spirit. At the root of your vulnerability to Leviathan is authentic hurt and anger. The Bible says we are to be angry but not sin. Here it is critical that we acknowledge our anger but intentionally forgive and not give too much energy to thinking about how we were wronged.

2) Create A Healthy Environment. The old adage is true, "misery loves company," but during these critical times we can't be surrounded by people who will "co-sign" and enable our dysfunction. We need friends that will hold us accountable and tell us the truth about ourselves even when it hurts. The Bible says the wounds of a friend are faithful. We don't need fans...we need friends.

3) Be Teachable. Leviathan is especially dangerous for leaders and leader-types, because they are so used to having the answers for everyone's problems that they struggle with seeking answers for themselves. Leaders think they always have to be tough, that they have to appear strong, and those attributes work against them when they are the ones under God's magnifying glass and in need of help themselves.

4) Fixate on His Promises. God is always good, and Scripture teaches us everything works together for the good of those that love God and are called according to His purpose. We must focus on God's promises to come at the end of all this reconstruction. We can't get sidetracked by the pain or how badly we were wronged.

He's working on us to bring us to a better, more sustainable place. Ultimately He's taking us from glory to glory, and that must be our main focus.

PROPHETIC CHAMBER

On June 1st this year, I had what I believe to be "a dream within a dream".

For the most part, I was only an observer, yet it was so vivid and real that I felt it significant to share with the Body of Believers. The time of harvest is quickly approaching and we must be ready. In this dream, the date was October 16th. I observed Kathryn Kuhlman standing on stage wearing her long, flowing white dress with her left arm outstretched. Her boney index finger was pointing at the audience as she began to prophesy:

"All those born on October 16th have a special anointing. And there's a special anointing being released to the Body and it's very powerful!"
The scene quickly changed and I was standing outside where I observed ancient, black wrought iron gates. They were rather scary looking because of their size and age. These ancient gates were perhaps twelve feet high and thirty feet in length. They were attached to a black stonewall on either side like a fortress. The gates had been closed and locked for many, many years.

As I looked closer, I could see thousands of people standing behind the closed gates. In fact I could see no end to this massive gathering of people. There were people from every tongue, tribe and nation. However in unity, as one Body, they all worked together to push open the gates. Then breaking through the darkness into the light, they all ran quickly to receive this anointing Kathryn Kuhlman prophesied and released. -End of dream.

A New Beginning

I believe this is an important date and new beginning for the Body of Christ. October 16, 2014 is a Jewish holy day called Shemini Atzeret. See below:
It directly follows the Jewish festival of Sukkot which is celebrated for seven days, and thus Shemini Atzeret is literally the eighth day; but it is a separate yet connected holy day devoted to the spiritual aspects of the festival of Sukkot. Part of its duality as a holy day is that it is simultaneously considered to be celebrated as being both connected to Sukkot, yet also being a separate festival in its own right. (Via Wikipedia.)

The Hebrew word "shemini" means "eighth", and prophetically the eighth day of the Feast of Tabernacles indicates a new beginning for the coming harvest. According to Jewish tradition, Shemini is the ending of the holiday of Sukkot and the beginning of "Time of our Happiness or Joy." It's the end of one season and the beginning of another.

In the week prior to Bob Jones' death, one of the prophetic actions he completed was defeating the enemy as satan was trying to steal joy and gladness from the Church. Now is time for the Church to rejoice and to be happy and strong in the Lord. He is our Joy (Galatians 5:22) therefore; the joy of the Lord is the strength of the Church.

"Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength." Nehemiah 8:10

I believe the mass of people behind the wrought iron gates indicate the harvest ready for release. People that have been held in bondage for many, many years will now break forth from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of His glorious Light. They will know the Truth and be set free from the bondage of personal prisons.

These are people from every walk of life and every corner of the earth that had been held captive by the works of the enemy. But when they hear the word of God they will run toward the anointing, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against them. There will be such a revelation of the Son of God that they will not question or second-guess their salvation.

Jesus answered and said to him, "Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father who is in Heaven. And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My Church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it." Matthew 16:17-18

The Church Embraces Wisdom

Recently in two separate visions, I saw the Church awakening. Where she was presumed dead, new life was breathed into her. When she awakened, immediately she humbled herself and embraced Wisdom. The evidence of striving, bitterness, unforgiveness and jealousy quickly left her body.
Instead of being old and crippled she was strong, healthy and joyful. She was spiritually mature and led by the Holy Spirit of Truth. She embraced everyone with love and kindness, yet spoke with authority and everyone called her Blessed.

I believe October 16th is a significant date this year as the harvest begins in full swing. Christ in us (the Body of Believers) the Hope of Glory, will be evident in the Church. The whole earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord (Habakkuk 2:14) as the captives are set free from bondage and the Church embraces Wisdom.

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Habakkuk 2:14
