PROPHETIC CHAMBER

Introduction

This following word is a word from the year 2015 and I feel in my heart that it is now the time to make this word available for the public.
In summer I asked the Lord for revelation knowledge for this time before I went across the nearby fields. It was a sunny day and when I reached the fields, my attention was drawn to various grass fields which had been cut by the farmer; he had left the grass on these fields to get dried by the sun for use as straw later on.
 
The Prophesying Straw
 
While looking at it, the straw began prophesying to me, just like the almond tree branch which God used to speak to the prophet Jeremiah (see Jeremiah 1:11-12).
 
Jeremiah 1:11-12:
11 The word of the Lord came to me: “What do you see, Jeremiah?” “I see the branch of an almond tree,” I replied.
12 The Lord said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.”
 
I could hear the straw singing like a choir of female voices. The song it sang sounded something like this,”We are the produce to prepare the place for the coming glory of God!”
As I heard this I was reminded of the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem who as a newborn was put into a manger which in my opinion was padded with straw (see Luke 2:12).
 
Luke 2:12:
12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”
 
God's Breath blows over Influential Figures!
 
In connection to the straw, the Lord informed me that He will come with His breath on influential people in the world who do not know Him, so that they will bow before Him as King Nebuchadnezzar did in the time of Daniel (see Daniel 3:25.28-29).
 
Daniel 3:25.28-29:
25 He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.” …
28 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, “Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king’s command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.
29 Therefore I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego be cut into pieces and their houses be turned into piles of rubble, for no other god can save in this way.”
 
This type of unusual harvest will result in a transfer of the treasures of peoples into the house of God, so that the glory of God for this time can come down and His peace may expand (see Haggai 2:7-9).
 
Haggai 2:7-9:
7 I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord Almighty.
8 ‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty.
9 ‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
 
The Spiritual Battle for the Unusual Harvest
 
In connection to the harvest among the influential figures, the Holy Spirit made me aware of the spiritual battle, we as the people of God are in. This battle is similar to that of Joshua where he and the people of Israel fought against the Amorites.
It was the battle where sun and moon obeyed Joshua's word and stood still, thus helping to bring victory over the Amorites (see Joshua 10:12-13).
 
Joshua 10:12-13:
12 On the day the Lord gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the Lord in the presence of Israel: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and you, moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”
13 So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.
 
The Book of “Jaschar“ and the Phase of Harvest
 
This battle is described in the book of “Jashar” which means something like “complete, sincere, upright, honest”.
The above mentioned book points towards a phase of harvest, for the harvest is linked to completeness and concludes the cycle of sowing and growth, as well as revealing its result.
The harvest of Joshua and the people of Israel was connected to their victory over the Amorites who are also called “the ones living on the mountains”.
For us today, this means a harvest of influential people because the mountains or heights are connected to influential positions in the word of God.
It was therefore no coincidence that the sun (note: which has a greater standing in the sky than the moon) shone on “Gibeon” (which means “city on a hill”), and the moon shone on the “valley of the deer meadow” which is the meaning of the word “Aijalon”.
As God appointed the sun to govern the day and the moon to govern the night as well as the stars to be signs in the sky (see Genesis 1:14-19), we can gain an important message of God for us in this time from this particular situation in the battle at the time of Joshua.
 
Genesis 1:14-19:
14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so.
16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.
 
Sun, Moon and Stars
 
The cycle of the sun marks the timespan of a single day, whereas the cycle of the moon marks the timespan of a month; the yearly sequence of the star constellations in the sky mark the seasons in the year (note: spring, summer, fall, winter).
This means that the position of the sun marks the exact hour in the day and the cycle of the moon shows the phase of the month.
If we use this revelation in regard to the regions of Gibeon and Aijalon we can distinctly see that the sun in its greater position shone onto the higher place on earth (note: Gibeon), contrary to the moon which shone onto the lower place (note: the valley of Aijalon).
 
Three Levels of Revelation
 
By these constellations of the sun and the moon the Holy Spirit revealed to me three levels of revelation, whereas the third level involves the spiritual battle I mentioned in the beginning.
  1. the level of the spirit (note: Gibeon) and the soul (note: the valley of Ajalon)
  2. the level of the bridal structure (note: the love- and covenant-relationship with our bridegroom Jesus), and the structure of the body of Christ on earth (note: governmental authority in the earth)
  3. the spiritual battle of the body of Christ with the heart of the bride against the “Amorites”
As God's people we are required to walk in the first and the second level first before we are able to fight this spiritual battle which I will explain more detailed on the basis of the third level in a moment.
It is important that our soul (note: will, emotions and mind) is in tune with our spirit and submits to it, in order to be able to show the will of the Heavenly Father as revealed by the Holy Spirit by our deeds here on earth.
The valley of Aijalon carries revelation about our personal position as children of God but also about the position of the church as the unified body of Christ in the earth.
 
The Hour Appointed by God
 
The position of the sun and the moon in Joshua 10:12-13 reveals to us that God has set a certain hour in His eternity which bears the visitation of His glory in the earth realm. This means a continuous time of His special presence on earth as the sun is linked to the day and the moon carries in itself the alliance of days and weeks.
This bears comparison to the statement from 2 Peter 3:8, where it says:
 
“But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day. “
 
The Hour of the Glory of God
 
The hour of glory is birthed from our close love relationship to Jesus Christ as our bridegroom and God as our Heavenly Father in the Holy Spirit. This results in a deep longing for more of God and a solid confidence for restoration in the heart of every saint (see Psalm 42:1-2 i.c.w. Isaiah 42:8).
 
Psalm 42:1-2:
1 As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.
2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?
 
Isaiah 42:3:
3 A bruised reed he will not break, and a smouldering wick he will not snuff out. In faithfulness he will bring forth justice; …
 
The Valley of Aijalon - the Deer Meadow
 
The reason for the desire, to be restored and having confidence for restoration are hidden in the connection between the valley of Aijalon and the deer.
The deer/fallow deer is connected to the longing of the soul for more of God, and the Hebrew root word for “deer”, i.e. “fallow deer” is the word „ḥāmaḏ“ which means “desire, craving, to take a shine to, to be red by ignition => (for its fur shimmers red)”. (excerpt from Strong's Concordance with the word number H2560)
If we move in this kind of love desire of the LORD, we as the people of God will be able to fight the spiritual battle which is not against flesh and blood victoriously, like Joshua did. This means, our prayers are fearless and powerful, and they help bring the influential people (note: “Amorites” => “the ones living on the mountains”) who currently still move in darkness, into contact with the breath of God to prepare the way for the glory of Jesus in this time, just like "the straw in the manger" was welcoming Jesus at the time of His birth.
 
The Third Level of Revelation
 
The third level contains the battle fought in prayer by the love to our Heavenly Father and His son Jesus Christ, so that giants like Goliath in the time of David, will fall and submit to the one true God of Israel.
 
The Nephilim - Giants
 
Furthermore, the Holy Spirit showed me that this battle is against the „Nephilim“ (note: It is the Hebrew word for “giant, titan, hero, magnate”.), as they are mentioned in Genesis 6:4 i.c.w. Luke 17:26.
 
Genesis 6:4:
4 The Nephilim were on the earth in those days - and also after ward - when the sons of God went to the daughters of humans and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown.
 
Luke 17:26:
26 “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man. …
 
These so-called giants are not literally tall people or the offspring from an amalgamation of demons with humans but are an agenda of darkness, carrying one loud voice (note: as for instance, the public promotion of homosexuality in the society). This agenda aims to destroy righteousness and purity of God on the earth and blaspheme the God of Israel as well as intimidate the saints.
Thus, the “giants” are nothing more than implemented plans/thoughts from the demonic world (note: fallen angels) which the influential figures (note: symbolic for the daughters of men - applies to men and women alike – as the woman conceives the fruit and carries it to term) have succumbed to in order to establish these plans in the visible.
They try to achieve this with the help of the media, exerting more and more unrighteous influence over mankind.
 
The Power of True Intercession
 
But thanks to the Lord who clearly shows us by the example of David fighting against the giant Goliath that there will be an unusual harvest among these influential figures. This will be established by the power of true intercession, comparable to a slinging or hurling which will result in the shaking in heaven and on earth through the glory of God (see Haggai 2:6-9 i.c.w. 1 Samuel 17:49-51; Revelation 8:3-5).
 
Haggai 2:6-9:
6 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land.
7 I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,’ says the Lord Almighty.
8 ‘The silver is mine and the gold is mine,’ declares the Lord Almighty.
9 ‘The glory of this present house will be greater than the glory of the former house,’ says the Lord Almighty. ‘And in this place I will grant peace,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
 
1 Samuel 17:49-51:
49 Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
50 So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
51 David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.
 
Revelation 8:3-5:
3 Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne.
4 The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of God’s people, went up before God from the angel’s hand.
5 Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.
 
This slinging or hurling of the prayers of the saints is conducted by an angel, and in the word of God, angels are winds (see Psalm 104:4 i.c.w. Hebrews 1:7). It means, God blows with His breath on influential people so they recognise the truth and drop their plans for the truth which were infiltrated by darkness, resulting in the annulment of unrighteous systems and in riches of the heathens now coming into the House of God.
That is to say, the Church of Christ will for a time have big influence over the earth because Satan has to desist, similar to the time where Jesus was fasting in the desert (see Luke 4:13).
 
Luke 4:13:
13 When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.
 
The desisting of the enemy results in the spreading of the word of God on the earth in a greater measure (see Luke 4:14-15).
 
Luke 4:14-15:
14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside.
15 He was teaching in their synagogues, and everyone praised him.
 
Amen und Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
The Turning Letters
 
Lately the Lord spoke to me that letters within a word will begin to turn to shape a new word. While I read the story about the parable of the two prodigal sons in Luke 15:11-32 the Holy Spirit emphasized the verse 20 in the German version where it is written, that the young son got up and went to his father. As the father saw his son he went to him and fell on his neck and kissed him.
The used German word for “went” is “lief” and for “fell” is “fiel”.
 
Luke 15:20:
20 So he got up and went to his father. “But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
 
Look And Embrace!
 
The spirit of prophecy revealed by this above mentioned verse that an approaching process has come to an end and a new begins.
It is the time to stop “walking” and to come into the place to look and embrace the things that God brings into our arms.
It is about to catch God's presence and entering into the catching up process within God's time cycle (make up time)!
In a prophetic context it means for us today, that the younger time (younger prodigal son) enters into the older time (older prodigal son) to bring renewing, refreshing and joy into the house of God.
 
The Movement Of The Younger Time
 
The parable of the prodigal sons shows us that the younger time got into movement as an adverse circumstance began to prophesy to it.
It were the pods of the pigs that prophesied to the younger prodigal son so that he began to remember the good times in the house of his father (see Luke 15:15-18).
 
Luke 15:15-18:
15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs.
16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death!
18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you.
 
The Inner Emptiness Of The Younger Prodigal Son
 
It was an inner emptiness in the younger son which drove him to squander his given inheritance of his father to thereby produce a short-term peace in his soul which, however, did not last long. Furthermore one of the reasons why the younger son left the house of his father may have been that his older brother enslaved him day by day with the message "to become righteous only by works" (note: You have to do this ... You have to do that ...) in front of the eyes of the father.
 
The younger brother was not in true love relationship with his father, because he didn't really understand the mercy of his father, which becomes clear by his statement where he said, that he was not worthy to be called son anymore and wanted to be in the position of the hired servants of his father (see Luke 15:19).
 
Luke 15:19:
19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’
 
The Lack In The Young And Old Time
 
Spoken in a prophetic context, the circumstance of the younger prodigal son shows us that there was lack within the young time which had to be filled with the value (feast) of the Heavenly Fathers eternal time.
Similarly, there was lack in the old time because the older prodigal son who was near to the Father's house couldn't as well understand rightly the Father's love.
He was unaware of his paternal inheritance and didn't recognize the potential of the available blessings while he lived all the years in the house of his Father.
This becomes clear by his angry reaction as his younger brother returned home to the Father's house (see Luke 15:25-32).
 
Luke 15:25-32:
25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing.
26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on.
27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’
28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him.
29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends.
30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
31 “ ‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours.
32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ ”
 
To speak in a prophetic context it means that religious legality blocked the older time to be renewed refreshed and strengthened by the appointed time – feast in God's eternal time cycle.
 
The Importance Of The Real Relationship With God
 
It is important for us as people of God to live in a continual love relationship with the Heavenly Father which is expressed by obedience towards His word (see John 14:21).
 
John 14:21:
21 Whoever has my (Jesus Christ) commands and keeps them is the one who loves me. The one who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love them and show myself to them.”
 
Bethel – The House Of God
 
The Hebrew word for “house of God” is “bêt-'ēl”.
Bethel is connected to the place of the supernatural visitation of God where God blessed Jacob and gave him a dream where he saw a ladder standing between earth and heaven and where angels of God were ascending and descending. Jacob renamed this place after the divine visitation from Luz (almond tree) to Bethel (house of God). (see Genesis 28:10-12.16-19).
 
Genesis 28:10-12.16-19:
10 Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran.
11 When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep.
12 He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. …
16 When Jacob awoke from his sleep, he thought, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware of it.”
17 He was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God; this is the gate of heaven.”
18 Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it.
19 He called that place Bethel, though the city used to be called Luz.
 
God desires to show us His presence, plans and blessings if we are living in His house.
Essentially it doesn't matter where we are in our environment but being first spiritually living in the house of God.
If we live in the house of the Heavenly Father, we move with God's living breath as Adam did. We carry His living breath which includes His Holy Spirit, His longing, His life and His being (see Genesis 2:7 i.c.w. 1 Corinthians 15:45-49).
 
Genesis 2:7:
7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
 
1 Corinthians 15:45-49:
45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.
46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.
47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven.
48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven.
49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we bear the image of the heavenly man.
 
God therefore put into us His desire and His life.
It is the desire of God to have living relationship with us and that we maintain this relationship of life with Him.
 
The Sign Of The High Priest Joshua
 
In link with the life circumstance of the younger prodigal son from the parable mentioned in Luke 15 exists a similar situation in the Old Testament which is written in the scroll of the prophet Zechariah (see Zechariah 3:1-10).
 
Zechariah 3:1-10:
1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan (adversary/resistance) standing at his right side to accuse him.
2 The Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! The Lord, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?”
3 Now Joshua was dressed in filthy clothes as he stood before the angel.
4 The angel said to those who were standing before him, “Take off his filthy clothes.” Then he said to Joshua, “See, I have taken away your sin, and I will put fine garments on you.”
5 Then I said, “Put a clean turban on his head.” So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him, while the angel of the Lord stood by.
6 The angel of the Lord gave this charge to Joshua: 7 “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘If you will walk in obedience to me and keep my requirements, then you will govern my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you a place among these standing here.
8 “ ‘Listen, High Priest Joshua, you and your associates seated before you, who are men symbolic of things to come: I am going to bring my servant, the Branch.
9 See, the stone I have set in front of Joshua! There are seven eyes on that one stone, and I will engrave an inscription on it,’ says the Lord Almighty, ‘and I will remove the sin of this land in a single day.
10 “ ‘In that day each of you will invite your neighbor to sit under your vine and fig tree,’ declares the Lord Almighty.”
 
The prophet Zechariah had a vision where he saw the high priest with the name Joshua (“JAHWE is help!”) standing before the angel of the Lord while the presence of resistance was present by accusing Joshua.
 
The high priest was dressed in filthy clothes while he stood before the angel.
At this point resistance tried to link in with the present circumstance of the high priest Joshua that was represented by the filthy clothes.
The identity of Joshua was to show the help/support of God to the assigned people.
 
The devil tried to stop Joshua by intermingle accusation with his made sin of the past.
It was Joshua who decided to come into the presence of God to get a renewed mindset by the cleansing of the accusative thoughts of the one who resists God.
 
Because Joshua came into God's presence, the accuser got rebuked by the angel of the Lord.
It was the power of the chosen/promised territory (Jerusalem – foundation of peace) by God for him which released the righteous rebuke against the accuser.
 
Joshua got cleansed by the forgiving power of God and received fine garments and a new turban by the Lord.
The Hebrew word for “turban” is “ẓānîṗ” and is derived from the root word “ẓānaṗ” which means “winding, to tie something around”.
Spiritually it implies that our minds (heads) must make a turn toward the direction of the thoughts of the Lord and His truth (see Isaiah 55:8-9 i.c.w. Romans 12:2; Ephesians 4:23-24).
 
Isaiah 55:8-9:
8 “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord.
9 “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.
 
Romans 12:2:
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.
 
Ephesians 4:23-24:
… 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
 
After the renewing process by the Lord the high priest Joshua was called by God to walk from this point on in obedience to Him and to keep His requirements.
 
The result of it would be that Joshua would govern the house of God and administer His courts as well to stand in the place of the saints who are standing before His throne. Through this divine intervention Joshua and his seated associates became a sign and a wonder (Hebrew “môṗēt”) to direct to the offspring power of Jesus Christ.
 
It is about the young branch that grows out of the strong old branch and directs to the precious stone that is linked to the remission of sin of the land/nation in a single day.
This day is a new season of divine relationship of saints under the shadow of Israel through the biblical/Hebrew mindset (see John 1:47-48).
 
John 1:47-51:
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”
48 “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”
49 Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.”
50 Jesus said, “You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.”
51 He then added, “Very truly I tell you, you will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’ the Son of Man.”
 
The scripture of Zechariah 3:1-10 reveals that single things pave the way for great impact!
 
Amen and Amen.

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
As saints we may enter times and phases in our lives which can be quite challenging for us; they may cause us to fall into a state of hopelessness.
In regard to this, the Holy Spirit lead me to the scripture from Ezekiel 37, where in a vision the prophet Ezekiel was lead by God into a valley full of dry bones.
 
These bones were not completely dried up, because they could communicate their condition to God (see Ezekiel 37:1-2.11).
 
Ezekiel 37:1-2.11:
1 The hand of the LORD was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones.
2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. ...
11 Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, ‘Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.’
 
Although the above mentioned scripture is directed at the people of Israel, we too can see a connection in this scripture to us as saints in the structure of the one new man in Christ Jesus (see Ephesians 2:14-18).
 
Ephesians 2:14-18:
14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups (note: Gentile Christians and Jews) one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility.
17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near.
18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit.
 
The Dry Bones And The State Of Dispersal
 
The Hebrew word for “dry” or “dried up” used in Ezekiel 37 is „jābēš“ and is connected to „hopelessness, to feel ashamed or confused, to be disappointed”. (note: part excerpt from the Elberfelder Study Bible on the word „jābēš – dried up“ with language key number 3083 and Strong's Concordance with language key number H3001).
 
By means of this explanation and also by the statement of the dry bones in Ezekiel 37:11 we can see that the people of Israel were without hope, the reason being that they did not interrelate in divine unity, hence they were in a state of diversion (see Ezekiel 37:2).
The diversion is meant to illustrate to each believer among the people of God, that living according to one's own ideas and notions will result in scattering and confusion; this may also lead to hopelessness, disappointment and embarrassment.
It is not the will of God that we get into such a state, but it is our decision that determines, whether we live in a state of scattering or true apostolic unity.
 
Independence And Hopelessness
 
Advancing in an independent spirit (note: not to place oneself under true competent spiritual leadership for this time) leads to hopelessness.
Regarding the subject of spiritual independence a man of God once said (note: written in Italic):
 
We should be aware that a person „without a head“ is „a monster“, and a person with „two heads“ is „a freak“; this points towards two categories of believers, such as:
 
1. a believer, who does not want to submit to competent apostolic leadership (note: independence)
 
and
 
2. a believer, who seeks advice from several leaders, when he does not like the advice of a particular leader (see 2 Timothy 4:3-4).
 
Jesus Christ is the head of His body, and He loves the order of spiritual leadership: This means, that all saints who truly follow Jesus, submit to the leadership appointed by Him for this time.
This is the only way, we can advance as people of God in a healthy army formation.
When God speaks about an army formation in His word, it is always connected to liberty and the taking of the land of promise (see Exodus 6:26 i.c.w. Deuteronomy 11:24; Joshua 1:3).
 
Exodus 6:26:
26 It was this Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, “Bring the Israelites out of Egypt by their divisions.”
 
Deuteronomy 11:24:
24 Every place where you set your foot will be yours: Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.
 
Joshua 1:3:
3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses.
 
The Importance Of The Prophets In The Body Of Christ
 
In this time, the mature prophets in the body of Christ take an important position, as it is they who in cooperation with the four winds (note: God's plan/promise for this time) and the spirit of God (note: life of God) help the body of Christ to come together in the supernatural in the earth (see Ezekiel 37:4-10).
 
Ezekiel 37:4-10:
4 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to these bones and say to them, ‘Dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!
5 This is what the Sovereign LORD says to these bones: I will make breath enter you, and you will come to life.
6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the LORD.’ ”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone.
8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.
9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’ ”
10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet – a vast army.
 
Such a supernatural move of coming together is a prophetic process, where the prophecy conforms to the breath of God.
This prophetic sign-posting is the breath of God, which carries the pressure to spiritually position the body of Christ in the earth in the will of God for the future.
It is vital to listen to the prophets assigned to us (note: to whom we feel closely connected), as they carry the power of the witness of Jesus, which is the spirit of prophecy (see Revelation 19:10e)!
 
Revelation 19:10e:
10e For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.
 
Knowledge Of The Whereabouts
 
By this we are able to identify our current collective state and discern our personal shape accurately. This enables us to react in obedience towards God and leave the place of scattering or death (note: when we recognize, that we abide there), so that we can change to the place of true life and promise for this time, in the the right knowledge of our identity in Christ Jesus (see Ezekiel 37:11a.12).
 
Ezekiel 37:11a.12:
11a Then he said to me: “Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. …
12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
 
The whole people of Israel were in the valley, where each individual stayed in a personal grave (note: a false and non-renewed mind), not being aware of their identity in God.
To be put in the place of promise (note: land of Israel) by God, the people of Israel first had to be touched by the Spirit of God and the spirit of prophecy, to recognize that they were one house and that they had to leave the place of the valley and the grave.
 
The View Of The Prophet
 
First Ezekiel saw the scattered state of the whole people of Israel, and then he received revelation through the direction of God, that every single dry bone (note: person/a specific group of people) was in a grave, which had to be opened supernaturally.
This could only be achieved by the spoken truth and the prophetic word, causing divine knowledge to spread in and among the graves, which enlightened those present there and prompted them to leave their dead environment in order to stand under an open heaven in their promised land in the presence of God (see Ezekiel 37:12-13 i.c.w. John 11:39.41.43-44).
 
Ezekiel 37:12-13:
12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: ‘This is what the Sovereign LORD says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel.
13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them.
 
John 11:39.41.43-44:
39 “Take away the stone,” he said. “But, Lord,” said Martha, the sister of the dead man, “by this time there is a bad odor, for he has been there four days.” …
41 So they took away the stone. …
43 When he had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, “Lazarus, come out!”
44 The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face. Jesus said to them, “Take off the grave clothes and let him go.”
 
To Be Stretched To One's Limits
 
In this context the LORD brought to my notice, that this is the time where many saints are stretched to their limits; they feel they are facing a wall in a room, because a time frame (note: time and space) has finished.
At such times it is advisable to allow the LORD to lift you into a new room, which is connected with many new things or tasks through the ministry of His spirit and His angels (see Psalm 18:29 i.c.w. Psalm 91:11-12).
 
Psalm 18:29:
29 With your help I can advance against a troop; with my God I can scale a wall.
 
Psalm 91:11-12:
11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways; 12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
 
The Importance Of Competent Apostolic Leadership
 
When we as people of God don't submit to competent spirit filled (note: born from above) apostolic leadership (holy leaders, who move in heaven/the Throne room and who truly recognize the plan of God for this time; see Colossians 3:1-2) at this time, because we think we can carry on as usual and still enter into our personal or joint promise in Jesus Christ for the time ahead, we will find out sooner or later that it doesn't work.
Our rejection of the apostolic leadership assigned by God to us for this time can even suddenly lead us into an environment of embarrassment, confusion and disappointment.
 
This condition eventually leads to hopelessness, which can be compared to the valley from Ezekiel 37.
A valley can for instance be developed by two mountains facing each other. These two mountains can signify the blessing and the judgment of God like the mountains of Gerizim and Ebal at the time of Moses, where six of the twelve tribes of Israel spoke blessing and the other six tribes spoke curse or judgment as commanded by God (see Deuteronomy 27:11-13).
 
Deuteronomy 27:11-13:
11 On the same day Moses commanded the people: 12 When you have crossed the Jordan, these tribes shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph and Benjamin.
13 And these tribes shall stand on Mount Ebal to pronounce curses: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali.
 
This is the time where we can decide, whether we want to listen to God's prophetic guidance and thus move on the mountain of blessing as well as in manifested hope or whether we want to continue living according to our own ideas and notions and thus remain in a scattered state and the area of spiritual death.
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His wisdom,
 
Daniel Glimm
