PROPHETIC CHAMBER
During the Christmas holidays, my wife received a colorful dream at night. In the dream she was with a twelve-year-old brown-haired girl whom she was holding by the right hand. My wife was standing with the girl at the edge of a rectangular swimming pool that contained murky water.
 
While she was looking at the water, a walrus emerged from the murky water, and a short time later it dived down again. In addition, she could see two moray eels in the water and some eels swimming below the surface.
 
After my wife saw this, a white horse emerged from the water to her left, galloped on the water to the right side of the pool, and suddenly made a U-turn toward my wife. While this was happening, she heard a voice speaking to her in a gentle as well as instructing tone: “Touch it!”
 
When she touched the horse’s chest with her right hand, she felt its warmth and heard its breathing from its nostrils. Then the dream ended.
 
Since the Holy Spirit spoke some time ago that prophetic instruction will be released in the month of December (note: prophetic word from the 11’th of November 2020 => ’The Strong Forehead of the Prophets and the Gate of Benjamin’), which extends into the future time, we see an instruction for us and the saints who are spiritually aligned with us.
 
The pool of murky water represents the society in which we find ourselves and with which we are surrounded without being a part of this world (cf. John 15:19 i.c.w. John 17:14).
 
John 15:19:
19 If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
 
John 17:14:
14 I have given them your word and the world has hated them, for they are not of the world any more than I am of the world.
 
Since we, as God’s people, are in a time that is uncertain or humanly not clearly foreseeable as to how things will develop in the future, it is important that we move forward with the power of faith in the structure of the new wineskin as the body of Christ (cf. Hebrews 11:1).
 
Hebrews 11:1:
1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
 
As the church – ‘ekklēsia’ we are in an apostolic age of moving forward in wisdom and knowledge that are hidden in Christ Jesus (cf. Colossians 2:2-3).
 
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.
 
It is walking in the spirit of wisdom and knowledge that opens up a new dimension of the fear of the LORD, which acts like a key to gain access to the chambers of God’s depths (cf. Psalm 111:10 i.c.w. Proverbs 1:7a; Proverbs 9:10).
 
Psalm 111:10:
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise.
 
Proverbs 1:7a:
7a The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, …
 
Proverbs 9:10:
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.
 
These depths are connected with the hidden things of the spirit and its kind of mysterious communication, which includes the conversation between God and man as a friend (cf. Exodus 33:11 i.c.w. 1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
 
Exodus 33:11:
11 The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend. Then Moses would return to the camp, but his young aide Joshua son of Nun did not leave the tent.
 
1 Corinthians 2:9-16:
9 However, as it is written: “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 – 10 these are the things God has revealed to us by his Spirit. The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.
11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.
13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words.
14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.
15 The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, 16 for, “Who has known the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
 
Even when God speaks to one of His friends in coded language, parables, or even riddles, they understand the Lord’s communication as clear and distinct because they are in a close relationship on a spiritual level with God (cf. Numbers 12:8a i.c.w. Matthew 13:10-13).
 
Numbers 12:8a:
8a With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the Lord. …
 
Matthew 13:10-13:
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.
 
The Church – Ekklēsia
 
The church – ‘ekklēsia’ is not an institution or a building in the spiritual aspect.
The Bible calls the ‘church’ the body of Christ, which according to 1 Corinthians 12:12-31 is made up of different members. Each member has been created by God in such a way that it is dependent on the other.
 
The head of the ‘church’ is Christ (cf. Ephesians 1:22-23). The ‘church’ through Jesus Christ, has rights of access to the spiritual spheres which are divided into different categories. These are the first, second and third heaven (cf. Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 3:1).
 
This means that the ‘church’ is destined to rule in these spheres by the kingship and priesthood of Christ (cf. Revelation 1:6; Revelation 5:10). It is destined to reveal the manifold wisdom of God to the powers in the heavens (cf. Ephesians 3:10-12).
 
The ‘church’ doesn’t move in the letter alone, but in the Spirit (cf. 2 Corinthians 3:6; John 4:23-24).
=> The Greek word for ‘church’ is ‘ekklēsia’ and means people who gather together to accomplish something, or a group of people who are called out for a specific purpose. The first time this term of a called out people appears in the Bible is when the people of Israel went out of Egypt. They were called out in order to enter God’s inheritance that He had promised to their forefather of faith, Abraham.
 
In the New Testament, we find this principle in the way that God called out His church or ‘ekklēsia group’ and had them come together as one people. This alliance was called out to carry out the plan of God in the earthly realm (cf. Hebrews 8:1-13 i.c.w. Hebrews 12:23).
The expression ‘ekklēsia’ means the New Testament community of the redeemed in its twofold aspect, namely all people who are called through and to Christ into the fellowship of His salvation as well as the global church of all times.
 
This may be a community of saints consisting of two or more persons – a family or household – gathered around the presence of Jesus in order to pray prayers that are in harmony with the Father’s will, so that His will may be manifested in the saints’ respective spheres of influence. <= (The text placed in ‘=>’ is based on an explanation from the prayer letter ‘Ekklesia Everywhere!’ dated 23’rd of August 2020 by Chuck D. Pierce GZI and a reference to the Greek word ‘ekklēsia’ from the Elberfelder Study Bible with the word key number: 1558).
 
The twelve year old girl is a hint that we function as the church – ‘ekklēsia’ in this apostolic age in the structure of the Messianic Jerusalem and act in the wisdom and knowledge of the ‘twelve year old Jesus’. He represents the Lamb of God in the form of the lamp by dwelling in the Sonship of Christ as well as in the center of the Heavenly Father as the temple. From this comes the revelatory knowledge and glory for this time and the time to come (cf. Luke 2:42-43.46-49 i.c.w. Revelation 21:22-23).
 
Luke 2:42-43.46-49:
42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival, according to the custom.
43 After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. …
46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions.
47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers.
48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you.”
49 “Why were you searching for me?” he asked. “Didn’t you know I had to be in my Father’s house?”
 
Revelation 21:22-23:
22 I did not see a temple in the city (note: Messianic Jerusalem), because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
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.
 
We should not react disturbed when we encounter carnal behaviors in the lives of believers that are associated with pride, cunning, impurity, compromise, coldness of heart, … (Note: Represented by the walrus, the moray eels and the eels in the dream.)
These behavioral patterns are the cause of the challenging circumstances in the world that provoke believers abandon their faith, so that due to the intensity of the challenge, they give up in faith and allow the influence of the world to enter (cf. Matthew 24:12 i.c.w. 1 Timothy 4:1).
 
Matthew 24:12:
12 Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, …
 
1 Timothy 4:1:
1 The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.
 
We should not be intimidated by the influences in the world, but continue to go forward in what Christ Jesus has called us to do (cf. Galatians 5:16).
 
Galatians 5:16:
16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
 
The result is that we receive a new spiritual apostolic strategy that grows out of steadfastness in faith and approaches us like the white horse in the dream. In this, it is important that we become one with its movement and strategy in order to receive the love of the Heavenly Father for this time and the time to come. This results in supernatural power and acceleration that allows us to apostolically strategically act victoriously and in purity in the spiritual battle (cf. Ephesians 6:12-13).
 
Ephesians 6:12-13:
12 For our struggle (note: battle) is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
 
Apostolic spiritual warfare involves going forward with the revelatory knowledge of an apostle as a stratospheric minister.

=> The effect of apostolic revelatory knowledge is mostly felt on the spiritual level. The intensity of the spiritual aggressive attitude is directed from the heavenly sphere. Paul’s exhortation to Timothy to make war with his received prophecies is explained by the Greek term ‘strateia’, or warfare as directed by apostles (cf. 2 Corinthians 10:4; 1 Timothy 1:18).<= (note: The text placed in ‘=>’ is based on an explanation from the ‘Prophet’s Dictionary’ by Paula A. Price, Ph. D.; page 61 and page 62)

The White War Horse ‘Judah’ and Apostolic Strategy

The white horse in the dream is a call from God to the saints in His Body to embrace His militant, pure apostolic movement to go forward in the structure of the new wineskin in devotion and apostolic praise for this time and the future to come.
 
As a result, we carry Jesus Christ as King of Kings so that His kingship is recognized on earth (cf. Zechariah 10:3b-5 i.c.w. Revelation 19:11-16).

Zechariah 10:3b-5:
… 3b and I will punish the leaders; for the Lord Almighty will care for his flock, the people of Judah, and make them like a proud horse in battle.
4 From Judah will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler.
5 Together they will be like warriors in battle trampling their enemy into the mud of the streets. They will fight because the Lord is with them, and they will put the enemy horsemen to shame.

Revelation 19:11-16:
11 I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True. With justice he judges and wages war.
12 His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns. He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself.
13 He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God.
14 The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. “He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: king of kings and lord of lords.

=> Apostolic worship means that the worshipers themselves give themselves to the purposes of God in their worship, which has as its content that the Bride of Christ joins the invitation of her Bridegroom, who is also King, when He invites her to come with Him to His Kingdom (cf. Song of Songs 2:10.13). This is the moment when the Bridegroom enters into His apostolic function.
The King’s apostolic call to go with Him implies that worshipers should come to an understanding of how to support His apostolic function in their worship.

Worship should not be limited by tradition, culture, or personal imagination.
The purpose of apostolic worship is not to remove the place of passionate and intimate worship, but from the intimate relationship with Jesus Christ as Bridegroom to follow Him as King into His Kingdom, which enables worshipers to release from the governmental perspective of Christ His apostolic decrees on earth.
Apostolic worship brings all aspects (note: perspectives) of worship into their full expression. <= (The text set in ‘=>’ is based on an explanation from the book ‘Worship as it is in Heaven’ by Chuck D. Pierce & John Dickson.; page 25).

The Kingdom government previously mentioned is preceded by miracles of multiplication so that people begin to recognize the Kingship in Christ Jesus.

This results in the Body of Christ moving into a higher dimension of governmental rule in God as King in order to act in faith at the right time in spiritual kingship. This results in an ‘awakening’ within the church – ‘ekklēsia’ so that it comes to the possibility of walking supernaturally in faith with Christ Jesus (cf. John 6:14-15 i.c.w. Matthew 14:22-26, 28-29).

John 6:14-15:
14 After the people saw the sign Jesus performed (Note: the sign of multiplication), they began to say, “Surely this is the Prophet who is to come into the world.”
15 Jesus, knowing that they intended to come and make him king by force, withdrew again to a mountain by himself.

Matthew 14:22-26:
22 Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd.
23 After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, 24 and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it.
25 Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.
26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.

It is the potential of ‘murky water’ that leads to repentance, enlightened vision, and a new wineskin in the form of the renewed mind with childlike faith in order to see and operate in the Kingdom of heaven (cf. Matthew 3:5-6; John 9:6-9; 2 Kings 5:10.14 i.c.w. Matthew 18:3; Matthew 19:14).

Matthew 3:5-6:
5 People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan.
6 Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

John 9:6-9:
6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man’s eyes.
7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.
8 His neighbors and those who had formerly seen him begging asked, “Isn’t this the same man who used to sit and beg?”
9 Some claimed that he was. Others said, “No, he only looks like him.” But he himself insisted, “I am the man.”

2 Kings 5:10.14:
10 Elisha sent a messenger to say to him, “Go, wash yourself seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will be restored and you will be cleansed.” …
14 So he went down and dipped himself in the Jordan seven times, as the man of God had told him, and his flesh was restored and became clean like that of a young boy.

Matthew 18:3:
3 And he said: “Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 19:14:
14 Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
 
The majestic beauty of the Lord’s kingship is recognizable in the impact of pure love in the Kingdom of God precisely because of the evil and proud attitude of people in an increasingly disoriented society of self-appointed rulers.
 
Amen and Amen.

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
In Revelation 3:15, the church as the called out ones (note: gr. ekklēsịa) of Laodicea receives the advice to be either cold or hot.
 
Revelation 3:15:
15 I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other!
 
In this context, the LORD has revealed that it is required for us as God’s people to move forward boldly in our identity as sons of God in Christ Jesus, much as the sons of Israel did when they went with their father Israel from Canaan to Egypt (cf. Exodus 1:1-5).
 
Exodus 1:1-5:
1 These are the names of the sons of Israel who went to Egypt with Jacob, each with his family: 2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah; 3 Issachar, Zebulun and Benjamin; 4 Dan and Naphtali; Gad and Asher.
5 The descendants of Jacob numbered seventy in all; Joseph was already in Egypt.
 
The Change of Place from Canaan to Egypt
 
The change of place of the sons of Israel with their father Jacob from Canaan to Egypt does not mean that we go into captivity out of the promise. On the contrary, it is the call to every saint among the people of God to take his position in the army of the LORD, to go forward in the prophetic measure established by the Heavenly Father in the peace and freedom of the Holy Spirit that comes with the order of God, and to establish His kingship in our environment with the identity given to us by God (cf. 1 Corinthians 14:33a i.c.w. 2 Corinthians 3:17).
 
1 Corinthians 14:33a:
33a For God is not a God of disorder but of peace – …
 
2 Corinthians 3:17:
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
 
This change of location is a call from God to understand the spiritual warfare according to Ephesians 6:12 and to enter into a deeper realm of the governmental presence of God in Christ Jesus with the power of our promise. This is evident from the fact that Joseph was previously clothed by his father with a coat of many colors and while he was already in Egypt (cf. Genesis 37:3).
 
Ephesians 6:12:
12 For our struggle (note: fight) is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
 
Genesis 37:3:
3 Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made an ornate (note: multicolored) robe for him.
 
This multicolored robe was already an indication of the coming grace of the Heavenly Father, which He had transferred to His Son Jesus Christ, and He was therefore able to take on the form of a servant, ultimately to be exalted so that every knee must bow before Him (cf. Philippians 2:6-11 i.c.w. Genesis 41:39-44; Genesis 42:6).
 
Philippians 2:6-11:
6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; 7 rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death – even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
 
Genesis 41:39-44:
39 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Since God has made all this known to you, there is no one so discerning and wise as you.
40 You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.”
41 So Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I hereby put you in charge of the whole land of Egypt.”
42 Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph’s finger. He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.
43 He had him ride in a chariot as his second-in-command, and people shouted before him, “Make way!” Thus he put him in charge of the whole land of Egypt.
44 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, but without your word no one will lift hand or foot in all Egypt.”
 
Genesis 42:6:
6 Now Joseph was the governor of the land, the person who sold grain to all its people. So when Joseph’s brothers arrived, they bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.
 
Understanding to walk in the LORD’s spiritual army called Israel, it requires an understanding of each individual saint of their God-given identity in their positions in the LORD’s army. The army of the LORD is composed of the twelve tribes of Israel, which are in units linked to the four winds (note: east – Judah, south – Reuben, west – Ephraim, north – Dan) and the presence of God, in which the Spirit of God dwells (cf. Numbers 2:3a.10a.18a.25a i.c.w. Ezekiel 37:9).
 
Numbers 2:3a.10a.18a.25a:
3a On the east, toward the sunrise, the divisions of the camp of Judah are to encamp under their standard. …
10a On the south will be the divisions of the camp of Reuben under their standard. …
18a On the west will be the divisions of the camp of Ephraim under their standard. …
25a On the north will be the divisions of the camp of Dan under their standard. …
 
Ezekiel 37:9:
9 Then he said to me, “Prophesy to the breath (note: spirit); prophesy, son of man, and say to it, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.’ ”
 
This is the spiritual movement that moves forward in high worship (note: Judah) as well as in the knowledge of the Son of God (note: Reuben) and walks in the fruit of the Spirit (note: Ephraim) as well as in the righteousness of God (note: Dan).
 
The Royal Alignment and the Eye of God
 
It is necessary for us to move forward in the Heavenly Father with the knowledge of being a person with a name. This knowledge includes spiritual influence or being a person of good reputation, which is indicated by the Hebrew word ‘šēm’ for ‘name’, among other things.
 
This implies the royal alignment of the saints in the spiritual army of the LORD, who live in the heavenly places with Christ Jesus as King of kings at the center of His government (cf. Ephesians 2:6 i.c.w. Colossians 3:1-3).
 
Ephesians 2:6:
6 And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, …
 
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.
 
On the basis of the departure of Jacob with his sons and their families from Canaan to Egypt, it clearly shows that each individual in the people of God carries an important position, since it was the number of 70 souls. This number of 70 souls, is a call for us at this time to go with the prophetic anointing as well as with the visionary faith into the center of God’s ‘pupil’ (note: symbol of God's plan). It is God’s eye that the LORD equates with Israel in His Word (cf. Zechariah 2:8).

Zechariah 2:8:
8 For this is what the Lord Almighty says: “After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you – for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye – …”

The movement of Jacob with his sons and their families and the stay of Joseph in Egypt result in the number ‘70’, which also activates the revelatory light of God’s eye, since His body is full of light and there is no darkness in it (cf. Luke 11:34a i.c.w. 1 John 1:5)

Luke 11:34a:
34a Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy (note: generous), your whole body also is full of light. …

1 John 1:5:
5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.

This movement of the gathering of ‘70’ in Egypt is the so-called interaction of fatherhood and sonship. This results from Jacob (note: fatherhood) in Canaan and Joseph (note: sonship) in Egypt. Here Jacob with his family forms the iris and Joseph, the pupil of the eye of God. From this eye results the view of the one new man, which comprises the messianic body. This one acts sovereignly through the spirit of wisdom and revelation and releases revelatory knowledge (cf. Ephesians 1:17-20 i.c.w. 2 Corinthians 2:14).

Ephesians 1:17-20:
17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, 19 and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength 20 he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, …

2 Corinthians 2:14:
14 But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.

It is the function of the pupil of the eye to see images. That which we look at with our eye (note: inwardly) and draw closer to us with our gaze, we begin to grasp, so that it becomes reality. Therefore, it is necessary to recognize the right vision, that is, the plan of God, and not to hold on to contrary impressions that arise as thoughts (note: images) due to feelings and challenging circumstances but to take them captive in obedience in Christ Jesus (cf. 2 Corinthians 10:4-5).

2 Corinthians 10:4-5:
4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.
5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Therefore, it is necessary for us to appropriate the three attributes that the LORD instructed the called-out saints in Laodicea to acquire through John by investing our time for Him and fellowship in His Word. Through this investment we receive the refined gold (note: richness of faith; cf. Romans 10:17), the white garments (note: righteousness => righteous acts of faith; cf. James 2:17) and the eye salve (note: prophetic anointing/sight according to Hebrews 11:1).

Revelation 3:18:
18 I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich; and white clothes to wear, so you can cover your shameful nakedness; and salve to put on your eyes, so you can see.

The Element of Water and the Two Qualities of Cold and Heat

It is of importance that we recognize the influence of the Kingdom of the LORD in the respective heavenly places in order to be led by the Holy Spirit into the respective truth that is present there and to be instructed in it. This is revelatory truth.
As mentioned at the beginning, Jesus’ advice to those called out in Laodicea is to be cold or hot.
If we relate these two characteristics (note: cold and hot) to the element of water and to the person of Jacob, this reveals an important spiritual principle to be applied or observed in personal life.
The element of water is related to the heavenly governmental realm of God because before the throne of God is the sea of glass (cf. Revelation 4:6a).

Revelation 4:6a:
6a Also in front of the throne there was what looked like a sea of glass, clear as crystal. …

Jacob understood the realm of warm as well as cold water, making use of them to implement God’s plan.

During his birth, he and his twin brother Esau were in the warm amniotic fluid of his mother Rebekah, out of which he acted, holding fast to the promise of the firstborn, even though he was the second to emerge from the womb (cf. Genesis 25:21.24-26a).

Genesis 25:21.24-26a:
21 Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was childless. The Lord answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant. …
24 When the time came for her to give birth, there were twin boys in her womb.
25 The first to come out was red, and his whole body was like a hairy garment; so they named him Esau.
26a After this, his brother came out, with his hand grasping Esau’s heel; so he was named Jacob. …
 
Rebekah in this case represents the realm of God’s glory and Jacob represents the realm of God's sonship in Christ Jesus, with his older brother Esau, representing the realm of the accuser of the brethren who appears before the face and before the throne of God day and night (cf. Revelation 12:10b i.c.w. Zechariah 3:1-2a).

Revelation 12:10b:
… 10b For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.

Zechariah 3:1-2a:
1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him.
2a The Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! …

It is said that God loved Jacob but hated Esau because Esau despised the position of blessing and his right of the firstborn (cf. Genesis 25:29-34 i.c.w. Romans 9:13).

Genesis 25:29-34:
29 Once when Jacob was cooking some stew, Esau came in from the open country, famished.
30 He said to Jacob, “Quick, let me have some of that red stew! I’m famished!” (That is why he was also called Edom.)
31 Jacob replied, “First sell me your birthright.”
32 “Look, I am about to die,” Esau said. “What good is the birthright to me?”
33 But Jacob said, “Swear to me first.” So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright to Jacob.
34 Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and some lentil stew. He ate and drank, and then got up and left. So Esau despised his birthright.

Romans 9:13:
13 Just as it is written: “Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated.”

The realm of the warm water carries the knowledge of the God-given promise and blessing in Christ Jesus, as well as the resulting faith to hold fast to the promise in spite of adverse circumstances. As a result, the glory of God intervenes at the right time and leads to the promised blessing of the Father (cf. Genesis 27:5a.6-10).

Genesis 27:5a.6-10:
5 Now Rebekah was listening as Isaac spoke to his son Esau. …
6 Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Look, I overheard your father say to your brother Esau, 7 ‘Bring me some game and prepare me some tasty food to eat, so that I may give you my blessing in the presence of the Lord before I die.’
8 Now, my son, listen carefully and do what I tell you: 9 Go out to the flock and bring me two choice young goats, so I can prepare some tasty food for your father, just the way he likes it.
10 Then take it to your father to eat, so that he may give you his blessing before he dies.”

Jacob understood the spiritual principle to take the kingdom of heaven by force in order to hold on to the promise of the firstborn, and by walking in it through the blessing of his father Isaac (cf. Matthew 11:12).

Matthew 11:12:
12 From the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom of heaven has been subjected to violence, and violent people have been raiding it.

Jacob, being afflicted in his soul by his elder brother, and desiring to overcome the affliction, decided to go to the brook Jabbok. Here he took advantage of the area of cold water by positioning himself in it and even sending his entire family with his servants and his livestock over to the other side.

After doing this, he began to fight with the angel of God overnight to receive the blessing of the supernatural, which came to pass. Through this supernatural touch, Jacob’s entire course of movement changed, as well as his identity, being called Israel from that day on and continuing on his way with a limp (note: as in heaven, so on earth). Jacob walked with the power of the new day or the new time set by God (note: the dawn broke).
 
Furthermore, he received supernatural revelation regarding the arrangement of the generations in order to meet Esau’s opposition or affliction and break it in wisdom. Jacob accomplished this in the way of uniting with the order established by God in the generations, thus sending blessings into the future. As a result, resistance and affliction was transformed into love and acceptance (cf. Genesis 32:23-30 i.c.w. Genesis 33:1-4.10-11).

Genesis 32:23-30:
23 After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions.
24 So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak.
25 When the man saw that he could not overpower him, he touched the socket of Jacob’s hip so that his hip was wrenched as he wrestled with the man.
26 Then the man said, “Let me go, for it is daybreak.” But Jacob replied, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.”
27 The man asked him, “What is your name?” “Jacob,” he answered.
28 Then the man said, “Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel, because you have struggled with God and with humans and have overcome.”
29 Jacob said, “Please tell me your name.” But he replied, “Why do you ask my name?” Then he blessed him there.
30 So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, “It is because I saw God face to face, and yet my life was spared.”
31 The sun rose above him as he passed Peniel, and he was limping because of his hip.
32 Therefore to this day the Israelites do not eat the tendon attached to the socket of the hip, because the socket of Jacob’s hip was touched near the tendon.

Genesis 33:1-4.10-11:
1 Jacob looked up and there was Esau, coming with his four hundred men; so he divided the children among Leah, Rachel and the two female servants.
2 He put the female servants and their children in front, Leah and her children next, and Rachel and Joseph in the rear.
3 He himself went on ahead and bowed down to the ground seven times as he approached his brother.
4 But Esau ran to meet Jacob and embraced him; he threw his arms around his neck and kissed him. And they wept. …
10 “No, please!” said Jacob. “If I have found favor in your eyes, accept this gift from me. For to see your face is like seeing the face of God, now that you have received me favorably.
11 Please accept the present that was brought to you, for God has been gracious to me and I have all I need.” And because Jacob insisted, Esau accepted it.

Thus, the realm of cold water is a dimension of God’s governmental rule to break resistance on the path with Christ Jesus by supernatural understanding of time as well as the understanding of the alignment of generations and the importance to release blessing in order to bring about positive change within the impossible (cf. Luke 18:27).

Luke 18:27:
27 Jesus replied, “What is impossible with man is possible with God.”
 
Amen and Amen.

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
In our walk with Jesus Christ, it is crucial that we reflect on ourselves in the light of the revelatory truth of His Word in order to weigh what is in accordance with His Word and what is not.
 
In doing so, where we recognize negative attitudes, ways of thinking, and problems within us, we allow the Holy Spirit, who is the Spirit of truth, to remove them with His revelatory truth. This is the only way that His righteousness can shine through us (cf. John 16:8.13 i.c.w. 1 Corinthians 2:11; Ephesians 4:23-24; Romans 14:17).
 
John 16:8.13:
8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: …
13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.
 
1 Corinthians 2:11:
11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.
 
Ephesians 4:23-24:
… 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24 and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
 
Romans 14:17:
17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit, …
 
Walking in the Standard of the Word of God
 
Abiding or walking according to the standard of God’s Word carries with it the power of following (note: discipleship) in order to know the truth of God and thereby walk in the freedom of the Spirit (cf. John 8:31-32).
 
John 8:31-32:
31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples.
32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
 
The freedom of the Spirit is based on the order of God’s Word and His peace (cf. 1 Corinthians 14:33a; 2 Corinthians 3:17).
 
1 Corinthians 14:33a:
33 For God is not a God of disorder but of peace – …
 
2 Corinthians 3:17:
17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.
 
Since we are trees of righteousness (note: the life of righteousness in Christ Jesus) whose roots reach out to the flowing waters of His governmental presence, it is of importance to take care that no bitter root grows up in us.
 
From such a bitter root (note: unredeemed past experiences that are not forgiven; hardening of the heart due to disappointment), a wrong view arises that, among other things, causes trouble in many personal relationships that the Father wants to give us for blessing (cf. Psalm 1:1-3; Jeremiah 17:7-8; Revelation 22:1-2 i.c.w. Hebrews 12:15).
 
Psalm 1:1-3:
1 Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, 2 but whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who meditates on his law day and night.
3 That person is like a tree planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in season and whose leaf does not wither – whatever they do prospers.
 
Jeremiah 17:7-8:
7 “But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, whose confidence is in him.
8 They will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by the stream. It does not fear when heat comes; its leaves are always green. It has no worries in a year of drought and never fails to bear fruit.”
 
Revelation 22:1-2:
1 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb
2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.
 
Hebrews 12:15:
15 See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.
 
As God’s people, we are united by the blood of Christ that flows through us. Jesus Christ is the way that leads to the Father as well as the truth and the life which is why it is essential to live in grace (cf. John 14:6 i.c.w. John 1:14-16).
 
John 14:6:
6 Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
 
John 1:14-16:
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15 (John testified concerning him. He cried out, saying, “This is the one I spoke about when I said, ‘He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.’ ”)
16 Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.
 
The Accuser of the Brethren
 
The Adversary is aware of the principle of this divine kind of connection, which is why his goal is to divide Christians in their fellowship with one another.
 
In doing so, he uses misunderstandings, among other things, to awaken a bitter root in the heart of a believer, which he connects to negative experiences from the past and triggers a negative feeling in the believer in the soul realm of the emotions. The purpose of this is that the believer begins to look at his counterpart from a negative point of view and herein blocks the love of Christ.
 
This can even go so far that the hurt or deceived believer abuses this principle in Christ to appear in the power of the soul (note: through the felt emotions) in the spirit realm of the person by whom he felt hurt.
 
In addition, it is possible that it appears in the way that the believer on the other side suddenly receives thoughts and feelings of the person or even dreams to the point that the person appears with his presence in the atmosphere of his counterpart and exerts pressure on the realm of the soul. This is what the Word calls the influence of the accuser of the brethren (cf. Revelation 12:10), who appears before God’s throne to accuse the saints or cause them to accuse one another (cf. Zechariah 3:1-2a).
 
Revelation 12:10:
10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
 
Zechariah 3:1-2a:
1 Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the Lord, and Satan standing at his right side to accuse him.
2 The Lord said to Satan, “The Lord rebuke you, Satan! …
 
We should pay attention to how we nourish our lives in righteousness in Christ Jesus and are provided by the Holy Spirit with clarity and truth because it contributes to what fruit we develop in the future (cf. Hosea 10:12; Galatians 6:7).
 
Hosea 10:12:
12 Sow righteousness for yourselves, reap the fruit of unfailing love, and break up your unplowed ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, until he comes and showers his righteousness on you.
 
Galatians 6:7:
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
 
The Intake of the Word of God
 
Therefore, it is necessary that we receive the Word of God that comes from His mouth in our spiritual being and in which we find grace and truth (cf. Matthew 4:4).
 
Matthew 4:4:
4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’(cf. Deuteronomy 8:3)”
 
This is not the power of the letter, but the power of the Spirit, because God is Spirit (cf. John 4:24a i.c.w. 2 Corinthians 3:6).
 
John 4:24a:
24a God is spirit, …
 
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.
 
When we take the Word of God into ourselves, the result is that we are rightly directed according to spirit, soul, and body in order to be enabled to be known in His glory (cf. Colossians 3:1-4 i.c.w. Hebrews 12:2).
 
Colossians 3:1-4:
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.
4 When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
 
Hebrews 12:2:
… 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
 
Those who rely on their own feelings and thoughts and exalt themselves above others in any form of possible self-pity are not contributing to the unity among saints that serves the Body to work together in submission under the Holy Spirit in doing what the Lord instructs His Body to do for this time.

Therefore, true humility in us is the key to triumph in Christ over the attacks of the enemy within the fellowship of saints as those who always overcome evil with good. For this we have need to seek reflection in the Word of God for power and discernment.
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,
 
Daniel Glimm
