The Lord revealed to me that it is in His plan to deliver His people from human intelligence and rational thinking in view of the walk in the supernatural realm in Christ Jesus, by acting in wondrous and strange ways. This is due to His intention to put an end to earthly wisdom and to cause human wisdom to depart because of the presence of the revelatory light of His wisdom from above (cf. Isaiah 29:14 i.c.w. 1 Corinthians 1:19).
 
Isaiah 29:14:
14 Therefore once more I will astound these people with wonder upon wonder; the wisdom of the wise will perish, the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish.” (cf. Matthew 11:25; 1 Corinthians 1:19).
 
1 Corinthians 1:19:
19 For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”
 
In this regard, the childlike faith has a special significance, as a key to the doors of the realms of wisdom and knowledge of God, which are the treasures hidden in Christ Jesus (cf. Matthew 11:25; Matthew 18:2-3; Colossians 2:2-3 i.c.w. Isaiah 11:8).
 
Matthew 11:25:
25 At that time Jesus said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.
 
Matthew 18:2-3:
2 He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them. 3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
 
Colossians 2:2-3:
2 My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ, 3 in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
 
Isaiah 11:8:
8 The infant will play near the cobra’s den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest.
 
Furthermore, it is childlike faith in the sonship of Christ that is connected with His governing authority and wisdom to rule fearlessly over the enemy in the joy of the Lord.
 
The Miraculous and Astounding Intervention of God
 
=> The Hebrew word used in Isaiah 29:14 for wonder’ is ‘pālā'’ and means among other things ‘to be wonderful, to be extraordinary, to be difficult to understand’.
The word is used for an event that seems unexpected, impossible and extraordinary to man. It is equivalent to a surprised, amazed reaction.
Moreover, it is related to God's saving intervention in favor of His people or even individuals (cf. Nehemiah 9:17; Psalm 106:7.22; Micah 7:15).
The word ‘pālā'’ describes the unexpected saving intervention of God which exceeds the expectations of people (cf. Psalm 17:7) and is at the same time linked to the fulfillment of a vow.
The word is also used to describe the close friendship between David and Jonathan (cf. 2 Samuel 1:26).
The Hebrew word for astound’ is derived from the Hebrew word ‘pālā'’ and indicates God's intervention in the form of a miracle, which can also be reflected in the form of wonderful advice through the structure of childlike faith and a correct understanding of authority in the sonship of Christ (cf. Isaiah 9:5). <= (note: The text set in ‚=>‘ is based on a word explanation of the words wonder/astound – pālā'’ from the Elberfelder Study Bible with the word key number: 6513, 6514, 6515).
 
On the basis of these scriptures, we can see that it is in God's interest to intervene for His people in an unexpected way and to surprise with ‘impossibilities’ in the form of miracles and His advice to deliver them from the controlling influence of human intelligence and earthly wisdom (cf. 1 Corinthians 2,6-9).
 
1 Corinthians 2:6-9:
6 We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing.
7 No, we declare God’s wisdom, a mystery that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began.
8 None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.
9 However, as it is written (cf. Isaiah 64:3): “What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived” – the things God has prepared for those who love him – …
 
The Bible passage from Proverbs 25:2 reveals that it is an honor for God to hide a thing, but it is the honor of kings to search out the matter. In this context the Holy Spirit revealed to me the principle of access to the realm of God's mysteries.

Proverbs 25:2:
2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings.

The basic requirement for being able to search out the mysteries of God is that you have died yourself in Christ Jesus and no longer live according to your own ideas (see Galatians 2:20).

Galatians 2:20:
20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

As a result, Jesus Christ dwells in you through His Holy Spirit, and His blood activates kingship and priesthood (Revelation 1:5-6).

Revelation 1:5-6:
… 5 and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, 6 and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father – to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

This divine activation means to be able to stand in the position of the kingship of Christ to confidently stand before the throne of grace to reveal the mysteries of God (see Hebrews 4:16a).
 
Hebrews 4:16a:
16a Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, …
 
The addressees of these mysteries herein are people who have a pure heart and honor what God speaks (see Matthew 7:6).

Matthew 7:6:
6 Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.

In order to enter into the realm of the mysteries of God, it is unavoidable to walk through the realm of the dark cloud like Moses. This requires and involves living in faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and moving in it constantly before God.

In addition, we should be aware that if we want to enter into the realm of the mysteries of God as a king in Christ, we should have already given ourselves to the training of the Holy Spirit.
 
It is only in this that we mature to continue to walk in the understanding and in all circumstances under His guidance, because the path to the mysteries of God is connected with the uncertainty that implies our full trust and reverence for God.
 
God's Interest is to Hide Things

The Hebrew word for ‘glory’ used in Proverbs 25:2 is ‘kābôd’ and is related among other things to the ‘heavy glory/majesty of God’, which is why it is no coincidence that David describes in Psalm 18 how God creates darkness all around His tent and is hidden in thick black clouds.
 
His son king Solomon also spoke of the presence of God in the darkness (see 1 Kings 8:12 i.c.w. Exodus 20:21). (note: The words written in italics are based on a word explanation from the Elberfelder Study Bible for the word ‘glory – kābôd’ with the word key number: 3593.)

Psalm 18:11:
11 He made darkness his covering, his canopy around him – the dark rain clouds of the sky.

1 Kings 8:12:
12 Then Solomon said, “The Lord has said that he would dwell in a dark cloud; …

Exodus 20:21:
21 The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was.

This proves that it is in the interest of God to cover things that concern the depths of His being.

And this is also the reason why Jesus Christ spoke to people in parables or riddles and forbade certain persons at certain times to reveal the truth about Him or His deeds (see Matthew 13:10-15 i.c.w. Mark 5:43; Mark 7:36; Mark 8:30).
 
Matthew 13:10-15:
10 The disciples came to him and asked, “Why do you speak to the people in parables?”
11 He replied, “Because the knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of heaven has been given to you, but not to them.
12 Whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.
13 This is why I speak to them in parables: “Though seeing, they do not see; though hearing, they do not hear or understand.
14 In them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah (see Isaiah 6:9-10): “ ‘You will be ever hearing but never understanding; you will be ever seeing but never perceiving.
15 For this people’s heart has become calloused; they hardly hear with their ears, and they have closed their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts and turn, and I would heal them.’
 
Mark 5:43:
43 He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.
 
Mark 7:36:
36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it.
 
Mark 8:30:
30 Jesus warned them not to tell anyone about him.
 
This access to the mysteries of God is not just given to anyone without sacrifice. Making sacrifices and living only from the perfect sacrifice of the Lamb of God leads us to a renewed thinking in divine servant hood, which the Holy Spirit works and refines in those who let Him.
 
This humble attitude and subordination to the Heavenly Father brings forth the potential of true governmental authority to reflect God as King, as Jesus said (see John 14:9): ‘Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father.’
 
Amen and Amen.

PROPHESIED ON THE 06‘th OF AUGUST 2020 | 16‘th OF AV 5780, NAJOTH BERLIN – SPANDAU
 
There is the realm of divine counsel that leads you to look at your circumstances in the right light and from the right perspective (cf. Psalm 36:9)!
As a result, where people see ruins, you see the potential of the beginning of a secure city!
Where people see a broken wall, you see the beginning of security within the community of saints and the ‘pedestal’ of the prophets who fill the place with revelatory truth (cf. Isaiah 62:6)!
Where people see things negatively and associate with those who forecast things negatively, I see the beginning of greatness and joy, says the LORD!
There is the phase of the ‘year of the LORD’s favour’, which is accompanied by ongoing favour and righteousness, released from the throne room of God (cf. Isaiah 61:2-4)!
There are believers who are in different dimensions of heaven and are familiar with the depths of God in the form of wisdom and knowledge! They suddenly come into contact with the roar of the Lion of Judah, causing them to bring the presence of heaven to places that are dry and help to transform them (cf. Matthew 4:18-22 i.c.w. Amos 3:8; Isaiah 43:19-20)!
They are familiar with the understanding of the presence of heaven and thus serve with the purpose of bringing heaven to earth to secure the people of God!
They are people with an apostolic assignment who make a ‘catch’ following the instruction of God to secure people in the presence of God that is like a strong tower!
It is about the change from one quality to the next quality! This change is accompanied by the roar of the lion, which correctly adjusts thoughts according to the standard of the Word of God for this time, so that they may go forward completely and perfectly in the center of God's will and stand firmly anchored in it (cf. Romans 12:2)!
There is the transfer between two realms which interact to bring the dimension of heaven into the earthly realm, says the spirit of the prophet (cf. Revelation 10:1-3)!
There is concealed the dimension of Judah which meets the dimension of Dan!
There is the dimension of sound that meets the dimension of justice!
There is the dimension of praise that meets the dimension of judgment, because the Lion of Judah moves in Zebulun and Naphtali (cf. Matthew 4:15-16)!
In the midst of the realm of the ‘kings’ who dominate in the economy and in the midst of the realm of the ‘kings’ who dominate in the media, justice will come through the apostolic sound and revelatory truth of the Word of God!
There is praise that goes hand in hand with the revelatory Word of God to limit the influence of injustice (cf. Psalm 149:5-9 i.c.w. Hebrews 4:12)!”
 
Amen and Amen.

On the basis of two stations of the journey of the people of Israel through the desert, the Holy Spirit points to how important it is to have maturity in the gift of the discernment of spirits in order to correctly judge the events and circumstances in the lives of people (cf. Numbers 21:10-11 i.c.w. 1 Corinthians 12:7-8a.10c).

 
Numbers 21:10-11:
10 The Israelites moved on and camped at Oboth. 11 Then they set out from Oboth and camped in Iye Abarim, in the wilderness that faces Moab toward the sunrise.
 
1 Corinthians 12:7-8a.10c:
7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
8a To one there is given through the Spirit …
… 10c to another distinguishing between spirits, …
 
The place ‘Oboth’ means ‘water skins’ and is derived from the Hebrew root word ‘’ôb’, which among other things means ‘a skin of an animal that holds water or wine’. It also means ‘(apparently through the idea of prattling a father’s name); properly a mumble, that is, a water skin (from its hollow sound); hence a necromancer (ventriloquist, as from a jar): - bottle, familiar spirit’. (note: part excerpt of the words ‘Oboth – water skins’ and ‘’ôb’ – familiar spirit’ from the Strong’s Concordance with the word key number: H88, H178)
 
From these Hebrew words a spiritual principle is revealed, that calls to test the spirits whether they are from God. This is based on the presence of the Heavenly Father in the Holy Spirit in the revelatory truth that we receive through the Word of God (cf. 1 John 4:1a).
 
1 John 4:1a:
1a Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, …
 
Familiarity – Familiar Spirit
 
=> Familiarity is originally a spiritual term that defines the breeding ground of contempt (according to the saying, “familiarity breeds contempt”; note of the translator). From this perspective, it deliberately spawns disrespect and rebellion.
This kind of ‘familiarity’ has its roots in the familiar spirit – the old Greek ‘Pytho spirit’ and the
ancient work of Satan's ancestral spirit network in human genealogy – their family lines.
Familiarity is the perverse extreme of friendship and relationship that seeks to promote the
undeserving and diminish authority.
Familiarity operates with the attending forces of slander, gossip, abuse, slight, neglect, criticism, or
judging. “Attending” is an original Latin form of the word “familiarity”.
These are known weapons in the arsenal of Satan.
Prophetically, familiarity may be seen as the calculated onslaught of Satan taking place in the life of a minister or servant of God. It manifests ultimately as an impending warfare set to wage against the church of the Lord Jesus Christ and all established authority in general. <= (note: Text marked ‘=>’ is a part excerpt from the “Prophet's Dictionary” by Paula A. Price, PH.D.; page 212; paraphrased)
 
People who are too familiar with persons of responsibility show a poor or immature understanding
of authority; this is also connected to boundaries and permission (note: respect, regard/esteem).
 
The Reformation within the Church and the New Time
 
At the times when the LORD brings about a reformation within His church (note: gr. ‘ekklēsia’), which includes the change in the structure of the ‘new wineskin’ and the ‘one new man’ according to Mark 2:22 and Colossians 3:11, it is not to be missed that the adversary wants to influence our inner being (note: spirit, soul) with false voices in order to manipulate or even stop us on our way of righteousness.
 
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.”
 
Colossians 3:11:
11 Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.
 
The call of the Son of God regarding the new wine in the new wineskins, points to a new time when it is necessary to allow the Holy Spirit to be renewed in spirit and mind, in order to do the right things in Christ Jesus with the right people in the right place at the right time (cf. Romans 12:2 i.c.w. Ephesians 4:23).
 
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:
… 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; …
 
In order to move within the structure of the new wineskin or the one new man, a sacrifice is also required, since a wineskin is made of animal skin, as mentioned above. This makes it clear that it is important to lay down outdated or worn-out thought patterns and cultivate God's high thoughts for this time as well as to move within them (cf. Isaiah 55:8-9).
 
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.
 
It is essential that we should proof with what kind of mindset or in what spirit we are moving into the future. (note: Which voice echoes in our spirit?)
 
With reference to the encampment of the people of Israel in ‘Oboth’ and its meaning, it is obvious how crucial it is to move forward into the future with the right mindset and the revelatory guidance of the Holy Spirit as well as trained senses (cf. Hebrews 5:14).
 
Hebrews 5:14:
14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
 
This change in the trained five spiritual senses (note: smelling, hearing, seeing, tasting, feeling) results in that we receive the Word of God with a higher spiritual weight in our spirit man, so that we can act with more power and strength. It enables us to even plough the soil (note: hearts of men), so that the Holy Spirit opens up the truth of the Word of God in the hearts of men.
 
Since Numbers 21 is about a cooperative journey of the people of Israel, this is a call for us as God's people to act together and let ourselves be trained by the Holy Spirit in the respective God-determined community. What we learn from the training of the Spirit helps us to settle down at the next sub-goal and there to serve in a supportive way those who find themselves in challenging circumstances and do not know that they are in a new phase of time.
 
The Place of the Rebuilding of the Ruins
 
This is revealed by the second station of the settlement of the people of Israel in Iye Abarim in the desert (cf. Numbers 21:11).
 
Numbers 21:11:
11 Then they set out from Oboth and camped in Iye Abarim, in the wilderness that faces Moab toward the sunrise.
 
The Place ‘Iye Abarim’ means ‘ruins of the passers’.
 
It is no coincidence that in the Hebrew word of the place ‘Oboth’ we find the word for ‘Father – ℶℵ – Ab’ and as a final letter the cross in the form of a ת – Taw’ letter, which carries the meaning of the love of the Father for us as human beings, who gave His Son Jesus Christ for us (cf. John 3:16).
 
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.
 
On the basis of the love of the Father, which is Jesus Christ and has a redemptive effect, we enter with trained senses in the form of the gift of discernment of spirits into a new place where people are in a state of transition, and due to the challenge see no way out and consider their lives as a kind of ruin. The reason for this is because a transition leads from one state to another.
 
=> Times of transition or transformation always take place when the Lord redefines something and makes the necessary adjustments to guarantee the progress of His people. Here He reveals to us what we should keep our eyes on while He gives the direction. Furthermore, the Lord teaches us and reveals Himself in a new facet.
A transition in the literary sense is a sentence that connects the last thought or section with a coming one. Therefore, it is important that we ask the Lord for revelation as well as for us to recognize His ways in a time of change.
The perspective He reveals to us is the bridge between the past period and the new time.
Without clear revelation and communication, the power and wisdom gained through past victories may be lost.
 
In a birth, this transitional phase is the most difficult phase. It is the time when the woman in labour feels: “I can't take it anymore!” Only the gaze of the child who is coming gives the perseverance and endurance towards this aim of maintaining the family and securing the inheritance.
 
It is not the new that is coming that is so difficult to handle, but the transition from the old to the new state is the difficult thing. What matters is how we respond to the phase of transition before the Lord establishes the new in the earthly realm, which reflects the realm of the Spirit as a shadow image.
Therefore it is important to proceed with the right strategy and protect the coming promise.
 
Phases of change are closely related to the process of expansion, in which it is necessary to live within the structure of the new wineskin. The term ‘enlargement’ means that something expands, releases and increases in form, or increases in scale and intensity. <= (note: The text set in ‘=>’ is based on the message ‘At the Crossroads of Change’ by James W. Goll from the year 2013)
 
It is therefore important that we meet the relevant people who are in transition with enlightened eyes of the heart in the form of wisdom and revelation, to let them know that their apparent ruins are being transformed into a strong wall and city (cf. Isaiah 61:4).
 
Isaiah 61:4:
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations.
 
=> We should be aware of the fact that Jesus was also tested in the desert when He went into His ministry and later also in a more intensive way in Gethsemane before He finally gave His life for the people on the cross.
 
In strategic times of transition people are very vulnerable and therefore it is advisable to ask the following questions when you are in times of transition to have the right focus:
  1. In what facet of my God-given identity, in which I have never walked before, should I walk now?
  2. What is the task I have to do that I have never done before?
  3. In what facet does God appear to me in this context?
  4. Who will God be for me in this time, that He has never been for me before?
<= (note: The text in ‘=>’ is based on a teaching by Lance Wallnau with the English title ‘How to Keep from Sabotaging your Own Transition’)
 
It is therefore necessary for us, as God's people in transition, to recognize in what we are allowed to develop our senses and to advance in a greater capacity for trust, in order to overcome immature and superficial ways of dealing with authority in general and with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This results in a higher dimension of faith to lead with vision and to be able to build up and spiritually strengthen others in power from on high.

Herein lies the blessing to set our hearts only on Jesus Christ as the only truth and to orient ourselves to the love of the Father and His plan and will, in order to increase in our destiny in the transition which leads us to the higher realms of the heavenly dimension, in new power and authority to build the Kingdom of God.
 
Amen and Amen.
