PROPHETIC CHAMBER
In connection with the prosperity of God, the Holy Spirit revealed that it is connected with one of the four living beings before the throne of God, the bull. It is the bull which is related to the spirit of strength (cf. Revelation 4:6-7 i.c.w. Isaiah 11:2).
 
Revelation 4:6-7:
6 Also in front of 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.
 
Isaiah 11:2:
2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him – the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord – …
 
Where the divine characteristic of the bull occurs in connection with prosperity, it carries the anointing of divine administration of the prosperity of God in order to break burdens (note: debts) over people (cf. Isaiah 10:27).
 
Isaiah 10:27:
27 In that day their burden will be lifted from your shoulders, their yoke from your neck; the yoke will be broken because you have grown so fat (note: by the anointing).
 
God's Wealth and Glory
 
God's wealth is not primarily earthly or material prosperity, but spiritual prosperity having its seat in the glory of God from where earthly wealth arises. The reason is, because God is spirit and His wealth as well.

As God is spirit and His prosperity is of eternal character, earthly prosperity is only temporary, i.e. transitory (cf. John 4:24a i.c.w. Matthew 6:19-20).
 
John 4:24a:
24a God is spirit, …
 
Matthew 6:19-20:
19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal.
20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
 
Therefore, spiritual prosperity is the fullness of spirit, soul and body, whereby the focus is not only on earthly wealth.
 
The Plan of the Adversary
 
There are plans of the adversary of God to direct the focus of His people towards earthly wealth in order to make people see from an earthly perspective. Herein the enemy causes to bring about a break in the sound of worship towards God.
It was no coincidence that right after the exodus of the people of Israel from Egypt, Satan tempted God's people in the desert. They had taken the wealth of Egypt given by God to build a golden calf in order to worship it as their god (cf. Exodus 32:2-6).
 
Exodus 32:2-6:
2 Aaron answered them, “Take off the gold earrings that your wives, your sons and your daughters are wearing, and bring them to me.”
3 So all the people took off their earrings and brought them to Aaron.
4 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, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.”
5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar in front of the calf and announced, “Tomorrow there will be a festival to the Lord.”
6 So the next day the people rose early and sacrificed burnt offerings and presented fellowship offerings. Afterward they sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in revelry.
 
The reason is because Satan knew that God had strongly linked prosperity to the living creature of the bull before His throne. Originally, it was God's plan that the people of Israel should worship Him (Note: YAHWEH) as their only God in the desert (cf. Exodus 3:18; Exodus 5:3).
 
Exodus 3:18:
18 “The elders of Israel will listen to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God.’
 
Exodus 5:3:
3 Then they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Now let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God, or he may strike us with plagues or with the sword.”
 
The Second Attempt of False Worship

Israel's idolatry, the people's false worship of the golden calf, was later reapplied by Jeroboam, who was king of Israel at that time, by placing two golden calves in two places in Israel (Note: Bethel and Dan).
In addition, he deliberately perverted the time of God's glory by postponing the Feast of Sukkot/ Feast of Tabernacles by one month to the fifteenth day of the eighth biblical month, although the beginning of Sukkot was originally set by God on the fifteenth day of the seventh month (cf. 1 Kings 12:28-33).
 
1 Kings 12:28-33:
28 After seeking advice, the king made two golden calves. He said to the people, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.”
29 One he set up in Bethel, and the other in Dan.
30 And this thing became a sin; the people came to worship the one at Bethel and went as far as Dan to worship the other.
31 Jeroboam built shrines on high places and appointed priests from all sorts of people, even though they were not Levites.
32 He instituted a festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like the festival held in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. This he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves he had made. And at Bethel he also installed priests at the high places he had made.
33 On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, a month of his own choosing, he offered sacrifices on the altar he had built at Bethel. So he instituted the festival for the Israelites and went up to the altar to make offerings.
 
Satan prompted Jeroboam to use the form of cattle for false worship knowing that the bull is the highest expression of God's strength, which is that of the Father.
 
The Father, The Bull and the Lamb
 
In Hebrew the word “Abba” is used for the word “father”, which begins and ends with the Hebrew letter “Aleph”.
 
“Aleph” is the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet and connected with the words “ox, leader, strength, master, lord, thousand“.
 
Furthermore it has the pictographic representation of a bull's head.
 
Also, at the Feast of Sukkot, which is the feast of celebrating the glory of God, the bull has an important significance, because in the past the bull was given by the people of Israel as a burnt offering together with rams and lambs as a sweet fragrance for God (cf. Numbers 29:12-39).
 
The offering of the bull and that of the lamb during these eight days of the Feast of Tabernacles was as follows:
 
1st day => 13 bulls and 14 male lambs a year old without defect
2nd day => 12 bulls and 14 male lambs a year old without defect
3rd day => 11 bulls and 14 male lambs a year old without defect
4th day => 10 bulls and 14 male lambs a year old without defect
5th day => 9 bulls and 14 male lambs a year old without defect
6th day => 8 bulls and 14 male lambs a year old without defect
7th day => 7 bulls and 14 male lambs a year old without defect
8th day => 1 bull and 7 male lambs a year old without defect.
 
The main focus here is on the number of the bulls and lambs, though on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles only one ram was sacrificed from two rams, which were offered together with the bulls and lambs as a burnt offering on the seven days before. Along with a bull and seven one-year-old lambs.
 
As the number of the bulls and lambs as the burnt offering to the LORD at the Feast of Tabernacles is the highest, the position of these two animals is of particular importance.
 
It is the bull being first mentioned for the burnt offering and is an indication of the presence of the Heavenly Father. The Lamb is named hereafter and refers to the love given by the Heavenly Father, which is the Son of God, Jesus Christ (cf. John 3:16 i.c.w. John 1:29).
 
John 3:16:
16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
 
John 1:29:
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
 
Therefore, I consider the decrease of the number of the bulls and the number of higher value of the lambs until the end, as an indication of the responsibility of the judgment given by the Father to the Son.
 
The responsibility of judgment which God as the Father has entrusted His son with results in greater glory and the presence of the Father and the Son (cf. John 5:19-23).
 
John 5:19-23:
19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does.
20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed.
21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it.
22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.
 
The Attempt of the Enemy to Pull the People of God out of their Relationship with the Father
 
This is why there is that desire of the adversary to distract the people of God from the center of the relationship with the Heavenly Father. The enemy knows that every believer residing there is able to go ahead with the greatest “authority” of heaven, so that he must flee (cf. James 4:7 i.c.w. 1 John 4:18a).
 
James 4:7:
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
 
1 John 4:18a:
18a There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, …
 
Satan's highest endeavor is to prevent the love relationship between believers and God the Father by trying to pervert the worship of the believer and even to distort the schedule of believers.
 
If the enemy succeeds in this, there is a “broken sound” in the worship of believers. This broken sound means that the focus is more on the earthly things or earthly wealth than on their personal love relationship (note: intimate, close) with God.
 
This can lead to different kinds of fear, as the fear of loss in the life of the respective believer. It is the influence of fear that results in withdrawal or decline of the true relationship with God as the Father.
 
The Result of True Surrender
 
Only if we completely surrender ourselves to the Heavenly Father with our spirit, soul and body given by Him, and worship Him (see Matthew 22:37 i.c.w. John 4:24), the spirit of strength gets activated before His throne. The spirit of strength according to the nature of the living bull pushes all our enemies away, similarly as the blessing of Moses onto the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh reveals (cf. Deuteronomy 33:17).
 
Deuteronomy 33:17:
17 In majesty he is like a firstborn bull; his horns are the horns of a wild ox. With them he will gore the nations, even those at the ends of the earth. Such are the ten thousands of Ephraim; such are the thousands of Manasseh.”
 
The Spirit of Strength and the Power of Scattering
 
The spirit of strength does not search for prey like a lion in the first place, but is set to scatter the enemies of His people with the power of God! This is not only about the dispersion of a small unit of darkness, but about the dispersion of great opposing units!
 
This strength of God combined with the fullness of divine prosperity is also related to Joseph's royal administration, which causes the breaking of oppression of debt over people.
 
One reason why many believers do not see the desired breakthrough in their financial field is because they do not make their God-given resources (note: their entire spiritual and earthly life with all values) fully available to the Lord.
 
This clearly does not mean that they either should sell everything they possess or give everything away, but true worship means perfect surrender to the Heavenly Father (note: with an undivided heart).
 
The personal recognition of God revealing Himself and by letting us know what can be found in His throne room presence can be the key to worship Him more freely by letting go fear and seeking Him as the highest authority in the Heavens, as the Father and source of all. Like David made the experience over and over again how God would give him strength and victory (cf. Psalm 18:15.39).
 
Psalm 18:15.39:
15 The valleys of the sea were exposed and the foundations of the earth laid bare at your rebuke, Lord, at the blast of breath from your nostrils. …
39 You armed me with strength for battle; you humbled my adversaries before me.
 
Amen and Amen.

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
Discipleship
 
We would like you to take a closer look at the result we get when we follow Jesus Christ faithfully – it involves discipleship.
=> Like the scribes and John the Baptist, Jesus too had “scholars” who submitted to His authority and followed Him everywhere.
Jesus however expects of His followers an unconditional discipleship which far exceeds traditional dimensions. The disciple of Jesus must be willing to leave everything behind for the beginning rulership of God (see Luke 9:57-62; Luke 14:25-27).
 
Luke 9:57-62:
57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
59 He said to another man, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.”
62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plough and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
 
Luke 14:25-27:
25 Large crowds were travelling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters – yes, even their own life – such a person cannot be my disciple.
27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
 
In the New Testament the term “disciples of Jesus” not only describes the twelve apostles, but in a sense all Christians who submit under the authority of Jesus Christ and continue under spiritually competent i.e. mature leadership (see Matthew 28:19-20).
 
Matthew 28:19-20:
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
 
In the book of Acts the church is often described as “disciples”, where nowadays we would say “Christians”; this labeling given to the disciples of Jesus by their environment initially carried a rather deprecatory tone, “Christians” (see Acts 11:26) (translation of a part excerpt from the CD-ROM Luther Bible Edition).
 
Acts 11:26:
… 26 and when he (note: Barnabas) found him (note: Saul), he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
 
True disciples of Jesus are scholars/students who continue to learn, grow and search for knowledge of their callings and goals (citation from Rick Joyner). <=
 
Anointed Discipleship
 
When we follow Christ whose name means “the anointed one”, we enter into His anointed footsteps, so that our feet too will turn into anointed feet. This results in a spirit-filled life. Discipleship implicates a spirit-filled understanding of the word of God, which enables us to share the words of Jesus Christ, who is our king, with our fellow men.
 
This call bears comparison to the blessing of Asher, the son of Jacob, and the correspondent tribe of Israel (see Genesis 49:20; Deuteronomy 33:24 i.c.w. Matthew 7:28-29; Luke 2:47).
 
Genesis 49:20 (The Blessing of Jacob):
20 “Asher’s food will be rich; he will provide delicacies fit for a king.
 
Deuteronomy 33:24-25 (The Blessing of Moses):
24 About Asher he said: “Most blessed of sons is Asher; let him be favored by his brothers, and let him bathe his feet in oil.
25 The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze, and your strength will equal your days.
 
Matthew 7:28-29:
28 When Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were amazed at his teaching, 29 because he taught as one who had authority, and not as their teachers of the law.
 
Luke 2:47 (The Wisdom of 12-year-old Jesus):
47 Everyone who heard him (Jesus) was amazed at his understanding and his answers.
 
Increase Of Supernatural Power
 
When we really and truly follow Jesus Christ, we also increase in supernatural power and make clear decisions in accordance to His word, and our “yes” and “no” will have impact (see Isaiah 40:31 i.c.w. Matthew 5:37; James 5:12).
 
Isaiah 40:31:
… 31 but those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
 
Matthew 5:37:
37 All you need to say is simply ‘Yes’ or ‘No’; anything beyond this comes from the evil one.
 
James 5:12:
12 Above all, my brothers and sisters, do not swear – not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. All you need to say is a simple “Yes” or “No.” Otherwise you will be condemned.
 
This pure i.e. clear act of will of a disciple can be likened to an entrance, which is opened for the good and closed for the evil (see Deuteronomy 33:25).
 
Deuteronomy 33:25:
25 The bolts of your gates will be iron and bronze, and your strength will equal your days.
 
Faithful Discipleship And God's Promise
 
It is our faithful discipleship that contributes to the fulfillment of the promises of God in our lives.
This can be seen in the prophet Jeremiah's statement, as he prophesied the following word of God:
 
„ … and if it (note: my people) does evil in my sight and does not obey me, then I will reconsider the good I had intended to do for it. “ Jeremiah 18:10
 
God's Desire For True Fellowship
 
Faithful discipleship does not consist of merely doing ones duty, but having true fellowship with God the Father.
God is a loving Father and it is His greatest wish to have the same fellowship with us as He had with Adam. The Heavenly Father created Adam to express His love towards him, so that Adam could reciprocate; in the same way, the Heavenly Father still longs for our fellowship.
For this reason our faithful discipleship should not derive from a sense of duty, but from intimate fellowship with the Father, which is based on love for Him (see 1 John 4:19).
 
1 John 4:19:
19 We love because he first loved us.
 
Spirit-Man First
 
To implement true discipleship, we need to understand that God called us into existence as “spirit-being” first.
Essentially, we are not humans living in a human body with a soul (note: will, emotions and mind), but we are “spirit”.
If we are created in the image of God and God is spirit, then we are also spirit, as true fellowship with God the Heavenly Father and adoration for Him in love is only possible in the spirit (see Genesis 1:26-27 i.c.w. John 4:23-24).
 
Genesis 1:26-27:
26 Then God said, “Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.”
27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
 
John 4:23-24:
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshippers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshippers the Father seeks.
24 God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
 
The Creation Of The Spirit Man Of Adam
 
This principle (note: the spirit-being exists before the natural human form) can be seen clearly on the basis of Adam's creation. The Heavenly Father first created the spirit-man „Adam“ and afterwards his body, because God later breathed the already existing breath “Adam” (see Genesis 1:26-27) into Adam's body, as we can read in Genesis 2:6-7.
 
Genesis 2:6-7:
… 6 but streams came up from the earth and watered the whole surface of the ground.
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.
 
We are not first and foremost human beings, who have souls and live in human bodies; rather we are primarily spiritual beings, who have souls and reside in human bodies.
As humans we have indeed become human beings on this earth by our parents. But when we were born again in spirit, we were born from a seed which is not corrupt.
This means from the day, we were born again we carry a holy seed in us, the devil has no legal right to touch (see 1 John 5:18)!
 
1 John 5:18:
18 We know that anyone born of God does not continue to sin; the One who was born of God keeps them safe, and the evil one cannot harm them.
 
The Inner Conflicts In The Lives Of People
 
During our faithful discipleship as believers we occasionally encounter inner or personal conflicts, because our souls have to undergo divine reorganization (note: this applies to every person), so our spirit-man can begin to change our souls and place our bodies in a different position, as everything going on inside of us is mirrored by our bodies.
 
God's Kingdom Lives In Us!
 
As disciples of Jesus we should be aware that God's kingdom is already present.
 
This kingdom takes us into the kingdom of Heaven which exists outside of us. In short, it is God's kingdom inside of us which transfers us into the kingdom of Heaven. It is the kingdom of God in us that takes us to another position or place to sit and reign, where He is (see Colossians 3:1-3).
 
Colossians 3:1-3:
1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
 
This means the kingdom of God in us in the “here and now” places us directly in the kingdom of Heaven. Once we understand this truth in our hearts, Jesus Christ will be seen more clearly through our lives! (note: based on a revelatory teaching by Ian Clayton from the book „Realms of the Kingdom“ Volume I)
 
Word Of Wisdom Regarding Discipleship
 
True i.e. spirit-filled discipleship is like the work of a bee which collects pollen meant for its owner and beneficial for the bee itself.
Likewise everything a disciple of Jesus Christ does, is intended for his Heavenly Father and not for personal gain.
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
Introduction
 
We read in the word of God, that the LORD at a specific time will roll up heaven and earth like a robe, and He will create a new heaven and a new earth (see Hebrews 1:10-12 i.c.w. Isaiah 65:17).
 
Hebrews 1:10-12:
10 He also says (see Psalm 102:26-28), “In the beginning, Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands.
11 They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. 12 You will roll them up like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years will never end.”
 
Isaiah 65:17:
17 See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
 
Though the above mentioned scriptures describe the end of the times, I would like to explain in detail what the LORD revealed to me in this context: He showed me, that He is preparing a new realm from His presence for us, His people, now on the earth and we need to take possession of it.
 
The Eternal Plan Of God
 
God acts from the realm of eternity and one can describe the structure of His time cycle as a circle without beginning or end. This indicates that God works according to His eternal plan, which has a beginning, even though it is connected to an end in the temporal zone (see Isaiah 65:17 i.c.w. 2 Peter 3:13; Revelation 21:1)
 
Isaiah 65:17:
17 See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
 
2 Peter 3:13:
13 But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, where righteousness dwells.
 
Revelation 21:1:
1 Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea.
 
The Example Of The Reading Cycle In The Word of God
 
In connection with the eternal plan of renewal I would like to use the example of the reading cycle in the word of God.
As the original structure of the word of God consisted of a scroll (which in the Hebrew is read from right to left) we can see that the scroll gets increasingly opened towards the left during the process of reading; therefore, the left hand side decreases while the right hand side increases.
As faith arises by hearing the message from the word of God, it becomes obvious that the believer reading the word of God under the guidance of the Holy Spirit increases in faith (see Romans 10:17 i.c.w. 2 Corinthians 3:6).
 
Romans 10:17:
17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
 
2 Corinthians 3:6:
6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
 
This means we create a realm not visible for the natural eye, if we read the word of God daily throughout the year; I would entitle this realm as faith.
Consequently, we finish one realm of faith or firmness of faith and enter into a higher measure of faith every year.
This does not mean that the firmness of faith from the old year does no longer exist, rather the new firmness of faith builds on the already established faith of the previous year as 2 Corinthians 3:18 describes this process in regard to the glory.
 
2 Corinthians 3:18:
18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord’s glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.
 
The New Realm And The Kingdom Structure
 
The LORD is currently in the process of creating a new realm on earth and in heaven, which is connected with the kingdom structure of heaven for this time.
To help you understand the kingdom of the LORD better, I would like to quote the definition for the Kingdom of God at this point.
 
What Is The Kingdom Of God?
 
A) The Kingdom of God is the sovereignty of God in the believer by way of the Holy Spirit.
B) It is the presence of God dwelling in a person as His holy habitation. This presence yields the personification/structure of the godhead in the vessel, all the benefits, provision and power characteristic from Creator God and His eternal kingdom. The personification/structure frees the hand of God to move and exerts His authority wherever there is a believer present. (Exert from the „Prophet`s Dictionary„ by Paula A. Price, Ph. D.; page 298)
 
What Is The Kingdom Of Heaven?
 
A) It is the sovereignty and power of the order of God, His systems, rules and ways in the affairs of the people.
B) The influence of the church of Jesus Christ in the world.
C) It is that which imposes the authority of Jesus Christ as sovereign over the kingdom of God and His heavens on the world. (Exert from the „Prophet`s Dictionary„ by Paula A. Price, Ph. D.; page 298)
 
The new realm of the kingdom created by God seems at first not visible, because it is connected with the apostolic anointing of the LORD. Its result only becomes visible through humans, who move in it and its order, so that the anointing can influence the environment through their lives.
 
Elijah And Elisha
 
One can compare the process of God creating this new realm with the life of Elijah at the time, where Elisha followed him to receive the double anointing from Elijah.
Here the cloak of Elijah (note: represents the anointing; in this case the prophetic anointing) and the crossing of the Jordan river take an important part.
As Elijah and Elisha were on the way to the place of rapture, they first had to cross the Jordan river. They achieved this by Elijah folding his cloak and striking the water with it, so that it divided and they managed to cross over on dry ground (see 2 Kings 2:8).
 
2 Kings 2:8:
8 Elijah took his cloak, rolled it up and struck the water with it. The water divided to the right and to the left, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
 
After Elijah had been received into heaven by God by way of the whirlwind and the separation of the chariot of fire and the horses of fire, Elisha received Elijah's cloak from a higher realm.
At this point the cloak was no longer folded but unfolded; this was a sign, that Elisha stayed in a sphere of anointing that contained double the amount of the anointing, which Elijah previously moved in.
After the rapture of Elijah Elisha crossed over the Jordan alone by using Elijah's unfolded cloak on his return journey. At the same time the cloak became his new garment, as Elisha had torn his old garment (see 2 Kings 2:9-14).
 
2 Kings 2:9-14:
9 When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?” “Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied.
10 “You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah said, “yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours—otherwise, it will not.”
11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.
12 Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his garment and tore it in two.
13 Elisha then picked up Elijah’s cloak that had fallen from him and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
14 He took the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and struck the water with it. “Where now is the LORD, the God of Elijah?” he asked. When he struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over.
 
After he had crossed the Jordan alone, Elisha moved in a new sphere of anointing, which God had created and determined for this time on the earth.
God closed a time of heaven on earth by means of a new time of heaven on earth. This was recognized by the company of prophets on the other side of the Jordan, because they saw how the cooperating double anointing of the LORD rested on his life, even though they could not quite believe, that Elijah's time had been ended by God supernaturally (see 2 Kings 2:15-18).
 
2 Kings 2:15-18:
15 The company of the prophets from Jericho, who were watching, said, “The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha.” And they went to meet him and bowed to the ground before him.
16 “Look,” they said, “we your servants have fifty able men. Let them go and look for your master. Perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has picked him up and set him down on some mountain or in some valley.” “No,” Elisha replied, “do not send them.”
17 But they persisted until he was too embarrassed to refuse. So he said, “Send them.” And they sent fifty men, who searched for three days but did not find him.
18 When they returned to Elisha, who was staying in Jericho, he said to them, “Didn’t I tell you not to go?”
 
For us this means, when God creates a new spiritual sphere on earth we as people of God should not stick to the old way and the things connected to it, but should move in the structure and anointing created by God (see Mark 2:22).
 
Mark 2:22:
22 And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins.
 
The New Spiritual Sphere In The Time of Noah
 
A new spiritual sphere was also created in the time of Noah, which Noah and his family entered into after the Flood.
This happened as God determined the ark to settle on the mountain range called Ararat (note: means “mirror” => assessment of faith) by letting waters recede (see Genesis 8:4).
 
Genesis 8:4:
… 4 and on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.
 
A mountain range consists of multiple heights; at this point I therefore personally regard the newly created supernatural realm of the LORD on earth as the sphere of the so-called seven heights of the Kingdom of God (see Genesis 8:5).
 
Genesis 8:5:
5 The waters continued to recede until the tenth month, and on the first day of the tenth month the tops of the mountains became visible.
 
The Seven Heights Of The Kingdom of God
 
There are seven heights of the Kingdom of God in the earth, which we are called to influence as people of God with His presence through our lives, after we have been in the presence of the LORD.
All of these areas are areas of responsibility, in which each one of us ministers in the particular field of the kingdom appointed to us by God in order to advance the Kingdom of God on the earth through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
These heights or areas of responsibilities are:
 
1. Family
2. Church
3. Work/ Business/ Economy
4. Government
5. Education
6. Arts
7. Media.
 
God is spirit (see John 4:24) and also a God of covenant, and His Holy Spirit has a sevenfold characteristic (see Isaiah 11:2), just as the rainbow as the covenant sign consists of seven colors (note: red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue, purple; see Genesis 9:8-17). Therefore, these colors can be related to the seven heights mentioned above.
Reason being, that Noah's ark settled on the mountains of Ararat after the flood, where God revealed His covenant to him by sign of the rainbow (see Genesis 9:12-14).
 
Genesis 9:12-14:
12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth.
14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds,...
 
This means in relation to the word from Hebrews 1:10-12 regarding a new heaven and earth, which I mentioned in the beginning of this message, that God invites us to walk as His Sons in His eternal plan under the eternal order of Melchizedek which includes the apostolic anointing for this time on the earth, so that we can reveal the new sphere of the LORD and His influence, which He wants to exert through us in the respective fields of responsibility.
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,
