PROPHETIC CHAMBER
The Sobriety Of God And The Visitation
 
Times come and times pass. There are times of joy and times of sadness. There are times of life and also times of death, as is revealed to us in the book of Ecclesiastes (see Ecclesiastes 3:1).
 
Ecclesiastes 3:1:
1There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: …
 
Then there are times where the LORD wants to visit us in a special way. During those times God may speak to us in a serious manner, because He wants to make sure we don't miss His visitation and the blessing connected to it.
 
The Correct Weight And The Right Measure
 
In regard to the time of the visitation of God, Holy Spirit emphasized the scripture from Deuteronomy 25:13-15, which describes the correct weight before the eyes of God.
 
Deuteronomy 25:13-15:
13 Do not have two differing weights in your bag – one heavy, one light.
14 Do not have two differing measures in your house – one large, one small.
15 You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you.
 
It is important to the LORD that we understand the norm of His right measure, and don't carry two different measures or weights in our hearts.
 
The Weighty Glory
 
The weight the LORD speaks about in Deuteronomy 25, is connected to the presence of His glory, with which He wants to descend on His people in this time.
 
=> The Hebrew word for „glory“ is kābôd; it means „heaviness, honor, approval, dignity, glory and majesty“. The Hebrew root word is „kābēd“ and means „to be heavy, heaviness, burden“. The Greek word is doxa, which we know from the term doxology (note: glorification of God).
In regard to His appearance, the glory contains honor, esteem, power and blessing. Taking into consideration all these definitions, glory aims to establish someone as an important person, who “carries weight”.
The presence of God automatically causes increase in every area, because earthly wealth and riches are based in the spiritual world. The glory is the automatic storage place for the anointing, <= (The word explanation is based on an explanation from the „Prophet`s Dictionary„ by Paula A. Price, Ph. D.; page 237 as well as from the Elberfelder Study Bible with word key number: 3593)
 
The Weight In The Bag And The Measure In The House
 
From Deuteronomy 25:13 following we can conclude that it is important to God that we don't carry mixed weights in our bags, neither should we have different measures in our house.
It is about our personal and our communal life with God. It is about our heart attitude towards God and towards our neighbors, who are apostolically connected to us.
We received this divine directive for correct weight to protect us: when God comes with His glory and He does not find the right measure in the heart of a believer and in the respective congregation of saints, then God's glory can be destructive.
With God there is no partiality, but He looks on the heart of a person (see 2 Chronicles 19:7; Romans 2:11 i.c.w. 1.Samuel 16:7b-c).
 
2 Chronicles 19:7:
7 Now let the fear of the LORD be on you. Judge carefully, for with the LORD our God there is no injustice or partiality or bribery.”
 
Romans 2:11:
11 For God shows no partiality.
 
1.Samuel 16:7b-c:
… 7b-c For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.”
 
Insufficient Weight And Insufficient Measure
 
With God, the different weights and mixed measures mean an insufficient weight and are connected to past behavior. It means, the weight or measure of the past is not sufficient for the present or future times. We can't expect the glory of the new time from God, if we merely carry the weight and measure of the past (note: our experience, understanding, knowledge, …).
 
In this time the LORD starts to appear with the power of His new wine and challenges believers in the old wine skin to have their minds and spirits renewed to be able to carry God's glory for this time and the future (see Ephesians 4:23-24 i.c.w. Mark 2:22).
 
Ephesians 4:23-24:
23 ...and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, 24 and to put on the new self, created after the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
 
Mark 2:22:
22 And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins – and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins.
 
This time is a highly explosive spiritual time. It is therefore vital to carry the correct weight and measure of the LORD for this time in ones heart.
 
The Call To Examine
 
It is important now for every believer in Christ Jesus to examine his “bag” (note: personal life) and his house (note: communal life) for the right weight and measure.
Every single believer is responsible before God for his relationship to God and his neighbor.
Believers in spiritual leadership carry an additional responsibility, namely for the souls entrusted to them; for this they should receive special respect. This kind of responsibility matches the weight of the house (note: congregation of saints), (see 1 Thessalonians 5:12-13; 1 Timothy 5:17; Hebrews 13:17).
 
1 Thessalonians 5:12-13:
12 We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labour among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
 
1 Timothy 5:17:
17 Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honour, especially those who labour in preaching and teaching.
 
Hebrews 13:17:
17 Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning, for that would be of no advantage to you.
 
If we as God's people want to receive the greater glory of God which is connected to greater weight and responsibility, it is vital that we carry the correct weight of the LORD for this time in our hearts and gatherings.
 
Compliance With The Righteous Measure Of God
 
Conforming to the righteous measure of God for this time is important, just as the people of Israel did in the time of Moses, when he instructed six of the twelve tribes of Israel at God's behest to speak the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the other six tribes he instructed to speak the curse on Mount Ebal.
Here, the whole people of Israel agreed with the order of blessing and curse by saying “Amen!” (see Deuteronomy 27:12-13).
 
Deuteronomy 27:12-13:
12 “When you have crossed over the Jordan, these shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
13 And these shall stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
 
As God's people we need to be aware of the righteous character of God. This does not just mean blessing, but it also carries consequences, if we do not move according to His word and standard (see Romans 7:7-13).
 
Romans 7:7-13:
7 What then shall we say? That the law is sin? By no means! Yet if it had not been for the law, I would not have known sin. For I would not have known what it is to covet if the law had not said (see Exodus 20:17), “You shall not covet.”
8 But sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of covetousness. For apart from the law, sin lies dead.
9 I was once alive apart from the law, but when the commandment came, sin came alive and I died. 10 The very commandment that promised life proved to be death to me.
11 For sin, seizing an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me.
12 So the law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.
13 Did that which is good, then, bring death to me? By no means! It was sin, producing death in me through what is good, in order that sin might be shown to be sin, and through the commandment might become sinful beyond measure.
 
Through Jesus Christ we as God's people are able to live according to the divine standard (see 1 John 1:7-9).
 
1 John 1:7-9:
7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
 
Earnest Discipleship
 
We should be aware that a life in discipleship with Christ is not a merry-go-round but is about earnest advancement which requires a sincerity in our hearts.
When we are true and sincere towards our Heavenly Father, the blood of Jesus has the right to cleanse us and restore us where necessary.
 
The „Burden-Message“
 
In combination with the correct weight or measure for this time, the LORD further told me that it is about His “burden-message”.
There was a time in Jeremiah's life, where God did not want to release a “burden-message” to His people (see Jeremiah 23:36).
 
Jeremiah 23:36:
36 But ‘the burden of the Lord’ you shall mention no more, for the burden is every man’s own word, and you pervert the words of the living God, the LORD of hosts, our God.
 
But there is a“ burden-message“ in this time in the spirit realm, which we need to understand correctly. It is not about a negative burden, but about responsibility for the weighty things about to be released from the throne-room, and is similar to the scrolls which were handed to the prophets by the angels at the behest of God. These scrolls were sweet in their mouth, but bitter in their stomach (note: spirit; see Ezekiel 3:1-3; Revelation 10:9-10).
 
Ezekiel 3:1-3:
1 And he said to me, “Son of man, eat whatever you find here. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”
2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me this scroll to eat.
3 And he said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly with this scroll that I give you and fill your stomach with it.” Then I ate it, and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey.
 
Revelation 10:9-10:
9 So I went to the angel and told him to give me the little scroll. And he said to me, “Take and eat it; it will make your stomach bitter, but in your mouth it will be sweet as honey.”
10 And I took the little scroll from the hand of the angel and ate it. It was sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it my stomach was made bitter.
 
If we as people of God do not carry the correct weight and measure for the future glory in our hearts in this time and the time to come, then this glory will be destructive, as mentioned before.
If we have the right relationship with God, the Father, we we do not need to fear this destruction.
It is the LORD'S longing that we as His people are very close to Him and are one with Him (see John 17:20-23).
 
John 17:20-23:
20 “I (note: Jesus Christ) do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23 I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me.
 
The Fields Of Harvest And The Leftover Ears
 
At present there is an occurrence on the fields of the spirit, where the ears of corn can be likened to the souls of people.
 
The LORD told me that the fields are white for harvest, but there will be ears (note: people) during the harvest, who will be left behind by God, as they do not carry the right measure in this time (see John 4:35 i.c.w. Deuteronomy 24:19).
 
John 4:35:
35 Do you not say, ‘There are yet four months, then comes the harvest’? Look, I (note: Jesus Christ) tell you, lift up your eyes, and see that the fields are white for harvest.
 
Deuteronomy 24:19:
19 “When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
 
To the ones left behind it might seem as if God has forgotten them. However, this is not the case, as God has a greater goal and bigger plan in mind.
These seemingly forgotten ears of corn are believers, who want to remain in past experiences (note: what the LORD has done in the past). This kind of heart attitude does not pose a problem for God, as God is a God of grace. It means, God is sending Ruth-like movements to harvest the “field of the bridegroom” by drawing these believers close to the heart of Jesus, the bridegroom, so that they experience the first love (see Ruth 2:7-9a-b.15-16).
 
Ruth 2:7-9a-b.15-16:
7 She said, ‘Please let me glean and gather among the sheaves after the reapers.’ So she came, and she has continued from early morning until now, except for a short rest.”
8 Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Now, listen, my daughter, do not go to glean in another field or leave this one, but keep close to my young women.
9a-b Let your eyes be on the field that they are reaping, and go after them. Have I not charged the young men not to touch you? …
15 When she rose to glean, Boaz instructed his young men, saying, “Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.
16 And also pull out some from the bundles for her and leave it for her to glean, and do not rebuke her.”
 
While the saints have harvested the fields and continue on in joy with Jesus Christ by leaving their past behind them and, like Paul, strain towards what is ahead (see Philippians 3:13-14), the believers not harvested at that time will go through a special inner process.
 
The Inner Process
 
This inner process feels like the tearing of the curtain in the Holy of Holies, as it happened at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ(see Luke 23:44-46).
 
Luke 23:44-46:
44 It was now about the sixth hour, and there was darkness over the whole land until the ninth hour, 45 while the sun’s light failed. And the curtain of the temple was torn in two.
46 Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he breathed his last.
 
This feeling of the „curtain-torn-in-two“ will take place in the hearts of the respective believers, thus it will have an impact on the emotions. It happens in this way, because strangers, orphans and widows will come into their “fields”, so that the respective believers feel their inner pain to become a great blessing for them (see Deuteronomy 24:19 i.c.w. Galatians 6:2)!
 
Deuteronomy 24:19:
19 “When you reap your harvest in your field and forget a sheaf in the field, you shall not go back to get it. It shall be for the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, that the Lord your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
 
Galatians 6:2:
2 Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
 
The Blessing Of The Leftover Ears
 
The blessing of the left behind „ears of corn“ results in a supernatural transformation, as strangers become friends, orphans become sons and widows become wives.
 
The Hebrew word used in Deuteronomy 24:19 for leaving the ears behind, is „šākaḥ“ and is connected to „misplacing something for lack of memory or concentration“. (note: part excerpt from the Elberfelder Study Bible with word key number: 8195 and Strong's Concordance with word key number: H7911)
 
According to the above mentioned word description it means, that the harvesters continue on their way after finishing the harvesting process and leaving the field, because they already got in touch with their future, so that they leave the remaining ears of corn on behind.
Even though the harvesters feel an inner pain or sadness about leaving a few ears behind in the field, they are no longer able to return to the field, as it is God's plan to use the remaining ears for His honor to bless those people whose status is to be changed according to His will.
 
The Reason For Incomplete Harvesting
 
Those spiritual fields were not harvested, because there are strangers, orphans and widows who carry the pain of rejection and loss in their hearts, which the Heavenly Father wants to heal and transform through the “ears of corn” that were left behind.
 
The strangers, orphans and widows come to those believers, who at the time of their visitation were stubborn and not prepared to leave the past behind to advance into their future with the LORD.
 
It is a matter of the hand of God touching the hearts of believers, so they can fully relate to the strangers, orphans and widows.
 
Amen and Amen.

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
Concerning the restoration of time, the apostle Paul spoke to the believers in Ephesus and urged them to redeem the time (see Ephesians 5:15-16).
 
Ephesians 5:15-16:
15 See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
 
In order to understand the redeeming of time correctly, it is important to realize that time has a value from God's point of view. It is the devils plan to rob this value of time.
The enemy's robbery consists in overwhelming or distracting the people of God with the things of everyday life so that they do not submit themselves to real fellowship with the Heavenly Father.
 
The Beginning of Time
 
To understand the process of redeeming time more deeply, it is good to know the origin of temporary time.
Time began with the existence of heaven and earth.
The first measure of time was created when God spoke His word over the earth's “tohuwabohu – without form and void”, by saying that light should come into existence to create the first day - it included the separation of light and darkness (see Genesis 1:1-5).
 
Genesis 1:1-5:
1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
 
The light that God spoke into existence was not sunlight, but the basic source of light from eternity, because the lights of the temporary time (note: sun, moon and stars) were created by God on the fourth day (see Genesis 1:14-19).
 
The Mystery of the Daylight of God
 
This eternal light of God is Jesus Christ who reveals the mystery of time from the first day of creation (see John 1:1-5).
 
John 1:1-5:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
 
The first day reveals the movement of Jesus before His Heavenly Father, who “played” between the Father's sphere and the world, while He was moved to restore the dimension of “earth” in the order determined by the Father.
 
I am convinced that Jesus, while taking part in the creation process, always returned into the Father's arms after He had finished “playing” (note: creating) in the sphere on earth which was reflected by evening and morning on earth.
We gain a better understanding of how Jesus played before God and what He created by looking at the Hebrew word for “light/daylight” used in Genesis 1:1-5.
The word used there is “ôr” and means, “to become bright, bright, to shine, to radiate, to inflame; it symbolizes life, joy, well-being, guidance, God's power, glory and grace.”
 
Jesus actually weaved the life of God, His glory, His passionate love and joy into the earth, into which Adam and Eve should enter later, as well as all generations to come.
Therefore, as people of God, we can look confidently forward to living in eternity in the perfect presence of His eternal light (see Revelation 21:23)!
 
Revelation 21:23:
23 The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp.
 
The Value in Time
 
This explanation shows us that the value in our temporary time comes only into existence when we speak the Word of Truth paired with love and the revelation of God to people, so that they recognize their true value of time and thus will be able to redeem it.
If someone does not recognize a value in time, there is no reason to redeem the time.
 
Fellowship with God, the Father
 
God, the Father, has set a value in temporary time, because He longs to have fellowship with us.
To make us as human beings aware of His longing to have fellowship with Him, He has woven dates (note: appointed times) into our time for orientation which He has linked to the seventh day that the Word of God calls Sabbath (see Genesis 2:2-3).
 
Genesis 2:2-3:
2 By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the seventh day he rested from all his work.
3 Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
 
The original purpose of the Sabbath is to allow man through this divine set time frame to breathe a sigh of relief before God in order to experience the goodness of God that is accessible for him.
This becomes clear through the creation of Adam, who was created by God on the sixth day and first entered into fellowship with God before he began to do his job in the garden.
This means that God, the Father, is not first and foremost interested in our works, but rather in our heart and relationship to Him.
This expression of love is not a mandatory task, but consists of seeking and worshiping God in Spirit and in truth (see John 4:23-24).
 
John 4:23-24:
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.
24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”
 
The Divine Alignment of Time
 
For this reason, it was important to God to give us as human beings a time of orientation that He had set for us which He linked to the people of Israel in order to give us revelation of His times and the value therein.
For Moses, God even commanded the time to align properly so that every day, every week, every month and every year had to move in the blood of His Son Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, and it must still do so today to help us step out of captivity and into the glorious freedom of the sons of God (see Exodus 12:1-2; Deuteronomy 16:1 i.c.w. Romans 8:2)!
 
Exodus 12:1-2:
1 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt, 2 “This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year.
 
Deuteronomy 16:1:
1 Observe the month of Aviv and celebrate the Passover of the Lord your God, because in the month of Aviv he brought you out of Egypt by night.
 
Romans 8:2:
… 2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death.
 
Through this divine arrangement of the months, time became a powerful instrument that carries the possibility of redemption and life to this day through Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God!
It was the blood of the sacrificed lamb that was smeared on the upper threshold and the two doorposts of their houses by the people of Israel in the midst of Egypt, in the biblical month of Aviv/Nissan (see Exodus 12:5-7).
 
Exodus 12:5-7:
5 The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats.
6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight.
7 Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.
 
The Free Decision in Temporary Time
 
God has given us the temporary time so that we can freely decide for Him and enter into an appointment with Him; this implies an intimate love relationship which results in wisdom, and there we give ourselves to Him, expressing our praise and thanksgiving in Jesus Christ (see Matthew 22:35-40 i.c.w. Ephesians 5:15-20).
 
Matthew 22:35-40:
35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “ 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
 
Ephesians 5:15-20:
15 Be very careful, then, how you live – not as unwise but as wise, 16 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17 Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is. 18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit, 19 speaking to one another with psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit. Sing and make music from your heart to the Lord, 20 always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
 
The Presence of the Holy Spirit in the Human Body
 
In the same way as liquid, when poured into a vessel, fills it, our invisible being (note: spirit and soul) fills the human body, our profile, given to us by God. Through the acceptance of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit flows in our lives so that our body is a temple of the Holy Spirit (see Romans 8:9 i.c.w. 1 Corinthians 3:16).
 
Romans 8:9:
9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
 
1 Corinthians 3:16:
16 Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in your midst?
 
This our inner being, given by God, fills everything in our body, including every part of the body and the organs, so that we can express the power of divine life before the people.
It doesn't matter which part of the body or organ is the center of attention due to its task. It is important to note that every part of the body and every organ has a boundary. This is what Paul meant when he spoke of the church as a body with its various members and functions (see 1 Corinthians 12:14-20).
 
1 Corinthians 12:14-20:
14 For the body is not one member, but many.
15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
16 And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?
17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling?
18 But now has God set the members every one of them in the body, as it has pleased him.
19 And if they were all one member, where were the body?
20 But now are they many members, yet but one body.
 
Just as the human body cannot live without oxygen and blood, nothing happens without His blood and spirit in the church. It is the blood (note: Jesus' sacrifice on the cross) that transports the oxygen (note: the Holy Spirit) through the body (note: the church).
 
The “Brain” of the Body of Christ
 
In all of this, it is necessary to mention that the brain has an important role to play in this process, because everything is managed and directed from there in order to properly supply the human body with life. The “brain” of the body of Christ is the control center where the ministers of the five fold ministry are located to lead the church into the maturity for each time and season (see Ephesians 4:11-13).
 
Ephesians 4:11-13:
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ: …
 
The Breath of God
 
In the same way God breathed His breath into Adam's body, He also used the power of His breath (note: It was filled with His instruction) to create the universe with the planets/stars, … as well as the earth and everything in it. All areas created by God carry the effect of His breath, which reflects or expresses His life in some way in their areas of function.
The life of God is also expressed by our inner being (note: spirit and soul) operating through our body in the visible realm within temporary time (note: while we are living on earth).
 
The Potential of Temporary Time
 
It is therefore important to understand the value of time according to the Word of God.
The potential of temporary time gives us the opportunity to reveal the eternal life of the Father on earth through Jesus Christ in the Holy Spirit.
Even though time is not visible for us, it is the wisdom and insight of God that enable us to sense the value of time.
 
The “Head” and the “Body” of Time
 
In the way, the body of Christ and we as human beings have our own head and bodies, time also has a “head” and a “body” (note: space).
In this case, the biblical month “Tischri/Ethanim” carries within the blessing cycle of God the character of a “brain”, by which God allows the time of blessing to flow through the following months (note: the body/space of time => a period), and thus arranges the blessing on earth over man (see Matthew 5:45b).
 
Matthew 5:45b:
… 45b He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous.
 
It is therefore no coincidence that the Jewish New Year is also called “Rosh ha-Shana – Head of the Year” which is represented by the biblical month “Tischri/Ethanim”, because it is the month in which the Jewish New Year is celebrated.
 
The Characters of the Twelve Biblical Months
 
Each biblical month has a special character and is assigned to one of the twelve tribes of Israel according to the monthly system of the Holy Year within the cycle of redemption. The allocation of the twelve tribes to the months is related to the order of the encampment of the people of Israel in accordance to the scripture of Numbers 2, and we, as people of God, are also on the way of the kingdom (see Hebrews 13:14).
 
Hebrews 13:14:
14 For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.
 
God has put a special promise into every month of the year which contains revelation for the people of Israel and for us as the bride of Christ as well, in order to orientate ourselves accordingly every year or rather to position ourselves spiritually to receive the fullness of God.
Just as God has assigned each month to a different climate/season for the earth realm, periods of growth and rest, so the Lord put His spiritual promises into the monthly cycles, too.
 
Entrance and Exit of Time
 
Based on the previous explanation regarding the topic of time, it becomes clear that time has an entrance and exit.
The time of the end and the new beginning is to be equated with sitting at the feet of Jesus Christ as our Rabbi in the characteristic of the Alpha and Omega (note: He is the time span of our lives.; see Revelation 21:6; Revelation 22:13) in order to obtain wisdom and insight for the time of the future (see Luke 10:39.42 i.c.w. John 6:68b-69).
 
Revelation 21:6:
6 He said to me: “It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give water without cost from the spring of the water of life. …”
 
Revelation 22:13:
13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
 
Luke 10:39.42:
39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. …
… 42 but few things are needed – or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better (note: recognized the value of this time and redeemed it), and it will not be taken away from her.”
 
John 6:68b-69:
… 68b “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.”
 
Preparing for the New Time
 
Therefore, it is important that we as people of God prepare ourselves - especially at the end of a time cycle - for the new time so we may be able to receive Jesus' wisdom for the future.
This preparation involves reviewing things of the past time cycle, where the Holy Spirit reveals grievances, and then removing them to re-position ourselves in Him. By this, the Heavenly Father wants to allow the new measure of the time of blessing to flow through His Son Jesus Christ into our lives. However, if shortcomings of the past time are not resolved, a reduction of blessing can occur.
It is the will of the Heavenly Father to surround us with a new garment of time in Jesus Christ as the Alpha and Omega, in accordance to His time cycles (see Romans 13:14).
 
The Potential of the Biblical Month Tischri/Ethanim
 
The greatest potential of the biblical month Tischri/Ethanim lies in its beginning within the cycle of God's blessing, as beginnings are closely related to God's creativity (see Genesis 1:1).
 
Genesis 1:1:
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
 
The Implementation of God's Creativity
 
God wants that we use the new time He gives to reveal His creativity and plan to the people. This is one example of how to redeem the time.
God requires that we create the things which He planned in advance for us together with Him or rather, that we walk in them (see Ephesians 2:10).
 
Ephesians 2:10:
10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
 
May the gift of the new time give us the needed wisdom and insight in Jesus Christ to fulfill His plan for the coming time in full surrender and love towards Him, so that creation will be satisfied in its longing for the sons of God (see Romans 8:19).
 
Romans 8:19:
19 For the creation waits in eager expectation for the children (note: sons) of God to be revealed.
 
Amen and Amen.

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
“For the seed shall be prosperous, the vine shall give its fruit, the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew—I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these” (Zechariah 8:12).
 
I once had a dream in which I was walking in a thick, blue mist. I asked the Lord what the mist was. I sensed the Lord saying, “It is dew. You have entered a new season; it is ‘dew’ time.” Knowing that the color blue signifies truth in the Word of God, I realized God was trying to release a revelation of truth for today. I then began to study “dew”, and I believe the Lord revealed many correlations between the effects of dew on the earth and how He desires to move us to our next manifestation of His glory.
 
1. Dew renews the face of the earth.
During the night when dew falls on the earth, vegetation is nourished and grows. Without dew, dryness and desolation can set in, greatly inhibiting the growth process. The same is true of renewal in the Lord. We are being renewed day by day, which suggests that an ongoing renovation, restoration and transformation is happening in our hearts and lives. Titus 3:5 says, “According to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit.” Just as dew regenerates and renews the earth, so the Holy Spirit regenerates and renews us.
 
The dew of renewal also brings a complete change of heart. The dew, though only a fine mist, is often enough to soften hard and otherwise barren ground. This is the same concept as the new wineskin, softened with oil. The Holy Spirit, God’s restorative agent on this earth, can transform and renew through the quiet spiritual soaking of the dew of renewal. He needs only our cooperation, through obedient and submissive relationship with Him, to soak us afresh with the dew of renewal.
 
2. Heavenly dew provides strength to move forward.
Dew is released when all is still. It does not gather when there is heat or wind. When the temperature falls, the air comes to a point of rest, then the dew can begin to cover the earth. Rest occurs when we enter into the perfect will of God. If we will get still before the Lord, we will receive the revelation and strategy to move forward out of the hassles, anxieties and warfare that have sapped our strength in the past season.
 
The opposite of stillness is haste. Haste leads to poverty and lost inheritance because we misunderstand or are not willing to wait for God’s strategy for our next step forward. “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint” (Isaiah 40:31). Isaiah 30:15 says, “In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” As we get quiet and rest before the Lord, we are in a much better position to hear and understand the strategy of our next step. In the process, His dew of refreshing can fall on our lives and bring new levels of strength that will move us forward.
 
3. The dew of the Holy Spirit imparts overcoming power.
“His heavens shall also drop dew. … Your enemies shall submit to you, and you shall tread down their high places” (Deuteronomy 33:28. 29). By appropriating the power of God through the Holy Spirit (which in this passage is likened to dew), we have the authority to dethrone the enemy’s plan to keep us from spiritual life and wholeness. High places in the Bible are often linked with places of sin and iniquity; places of idolatrous altars. We all have or have had high places in our lives filled with sin and iniquity, sometimes even passed down to us through the generations.
 
The dew of the Lord, used here as a picture of washing us clean, gives us the power to tread down the high places and defeat old enemies living there. This overcoming power allows God to break our conformity to the standards of this world, and renew our minds. He is able to replace old deceptions that have caused us to fail in the past with a new belief system that will bring us to success!
 
4. The refreshing dew of the Lord uncovers new supply and provision.
“‘Therefore may God give you of the dew of heaven, of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and wine.’ … Then Isaac his father answered and said to him: ‘Behold, your dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above’” (Genesis 27:28.39). When Isaac blessed Jacob, he equated the dew of heaven to the material prosperity that Jacob would receive.
 
Like the rain, dew was regarded in biblical times as God’s gift, bringing good harvest and providing food. As the Israelites wandered in the wilderness, we find that God supplied their needs each night as the dew fell. “Now the manna was like coriander seed, and its color like the color of bdellium. The people went about and gathered it, ground it on millstones or beat it in the mortar, cooked it in pans, and made cakes of it; and its taste was like the taste of pastry prepared with oil. And when the dew fell on the camp in the night, the manna fell on it” (Numbers 11:7-9). Dew, therefore, came to symbolize supply and provision, new every morning.
As we follow the Lord’s leading, His dew will also rain down new supply and provision in our lives, just as it did for the children of Israel.
 
5. The favor of God is “like dew on the grass” (Proverbs 19:12).
Favor means pleasure, desire, delight, to be pleased with or favorable toward something. When God is pleased with us, His favor rests on us. Favor is very similar to grace and to glory. When we respond to the sovereign hand of God, He begins to drop down on us His favor. His favor can cause us to accomplish things on the earth and give us access to places that we did not previously have access to.
 
The opposite of favor is reproach, which means to find fault with, blame, criticize, disapprove of or discredit. As God’s favor comes upon us, He removes condemnation, judgmentalism, failure, mistakes from the past – places where the enemy has brought reproaches into our lives. We exchange disapproval for favor.
 
God is raising up an obedient people who are responding to His heart. As we obey Him in faith (for without faith it is impossible to please God or allow His favor to come on us), we will begin to feel His favor dropping like dew from heaven.
 
6. Dew is not permanent.
Dew falls during the night season when all is quiet and calm. As soon as the new morning breaks, however, the dew begins to evaporate. Our seasons, like the dew, are a process of moving from glory to glory. We cannot settle into all that the dew brings and expect it to last beyond the time God would allow.
 
The children of Israel received just enough manna for one day. The earth receives just enough dew to be refreshed for a short season. In the same way, we cannot allow ourselves to settle into our current state of glory. If we do, we will find that God is moving in a new way, or interrupting us with a circumstance, problem or even a vision that we can’t control or engineer with our present understanding.
 
We need to move to our next place of glory. For that we must receive new revelation from God. If you are in a place of confusion, listen for God’s voice to receive the necessary instructions that will bring new order to your life and circumstances. Don’t fear changes! His glory falls like dew.
 
Blessings,
