The potential of the fellowship of saints guarantees, among other things, spiritual protection that prepares us for the moment of supernatural encounter with Jesus Christ, His ministering spirits, and the presence of the Heavenly Father (cf. Hebrews 10:24-25).
 
Hebrews 10:24-25:
24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching.
 
From Psalm 1 and Jeremiah 17 we can see that the believer who delights in the Word of God and walks in the way of righteousness according to the standard of God’s Word is a fruitful tree planted by the rivers of water (cf. Psalm 1:1-3 i.c.w. Jeremiah 17:7-8).
 
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 (note: Torah) of the Lord, and who meditates on his law (note: Torah) 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.”
 
The Forest and the Visitation
 
Based on the biblical passages, a community of believers in Christ Jesus is like a forest/grove or a territory where trees grow. Such a territory of righteousness is, according to the Word of God, connected with supernatural visitation, as it happened, for example, with Abraham or also in the vision of Zechariah (cf. Genesis 18:1-2; Zechariah 1:7-8).
 
Genesis 18:1-2:
1 The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day.
2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.
 
Zechariah 1:7-8:
7 On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month of Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berekiah, the son of Iddo.
8 During the night I had a vision, and there before me was a man mounted on a red horse. He was standing among the myrtle trees in a ravine. Behind him were red, brown and white horses.
 
Guaranteeing or securing a community of saints is closely related to hospitality, which carries the potential to contribute to a supernatural visitation (cf. Hebrews 13:1-2).
 
Hebrews 13:1-2:
1 Keep on loving one another as brothers and sisters.
2 Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.
 
God’s concern is to visit us on earth with His presence so that we may be strengthened by His Spirit in the inner man to continue building the Kingdom of God (cf. Ephesians 3:16-17).
 
Ephesians 3:16-17:
16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, …
 
These visitations carry within them a high level of revelatory knowledge of His principles and spiritual levels of relationship due to sanctification.
 
This is clearly illustrated by the visitation of Zechariah already mentioned above (cf. Zechariah 1:7-17), where in the night he saw in a vision a man sitting on a red horse, who stopped at the bottom of the valley among the myrtles and was accompanied by red, brown and white horses.
 
In order to gain greater knowledge of this apparition, Zechariah entered into conversation with his ministering angel. From this it is revealed that the man and the horses were another dimension of spiritual presence and relationship that Zechariah entered into. As the man on the red horse then began to talk to Zechariah, the prophet received greater knowledge of the presence of the horses, which were the four winds.
 
Following this, the spiritual structure of the man changed into the angel of the LORD. From this it can be seen that the transformation of the figure was already a foreshadowing of Jesus Christ as the one who died and rose from the dead, to whom the four winds now responded and revealed their task, namely to pass through the lands.
 
Here it is no coincidence that the man or angel of the Lord rode on a red horse, since this is connected with the east. The east, is mentioned in the book of Zechariah hidden in connection with the red horses and is at the same time a reference to the new day and the appearance of Christ (cf. Zechariah 6:1-8 i.c.w. Matthew 24:27).
 
Furthermore, the east is the direction of the rising sun. This process symbolizes spirituality and origins as well as revealing the beginning of the events of humanity and affairs. In the prophetic context, the east implies regeneration and renewal (note: through the symbolism of the new dawning day), which contributes to life and new events.
 
After the angel of the LORD has spoken with Zechariah, the communication changed to a higher spiritual level, because now the angel of the LORD was speaking with God, the LORD ZEBAOTH (note: symbol of the Father’s presence). This communication can also be seen as the conversation between the Father and the Son, from which the Holy Spirit takes the truth in order to reveal it to those who desire and align themselves with the revelatory truth (cf. John 16:13-15).
 
John 16:13-15:
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.
14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you.
15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”
 
It is important to the Heavenly Father that we go forward in a royal-priestly understanding through the blood of His Son Jesus Christ which implies an honorable dealing with spiritual and natural responsibility (cf. 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.
 
The Rod and the Transition
 
The guidance of His Word, acting like a shepherd’s rod, leads us through the uncertain phase of transition deeper into the realm of His government and promise for us (cf. Psalm 23:4).
 
Psalm 23:4:
4 Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
 
The people of Israel were also led into transition by ‘the rod’ of Moses and Aaron, even though it involved uncertainty and challenges. Through this guidance, the people were led closer or deeper into the promise and their relationship with God. The rod was already a reference to Jesus’ triumph on the cross and the sign of His resurrection power.
 
I am convinced that we are in a phase where the LORD ‘remembers’ us and His given promises in order to reveal His authority and bring blessings. Therefore, it is important to go forward with firm confidence and hold fast to the promise of God (cf. Hebrews 11:1.6).
 
Hebrews 11:1.6:
1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. …
6 And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.
 
Here it is crucial to keep in mind that God, is the Ancient of Days and therefore also a God of generations (cf. Daniel 7:9a).
 
Daniel 7:9a:
9a “As I looked, “thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. …
 
This means that God is active in the time cycles of the generations and is not limited to a specific temporary time.
 
Even though our salvation is closer now than when we became believers (cf. Romans 13:11), we should be aware that we are the plan of God in the end times and not a victim of the end times. This awareness protects us from falling into the temptation of developing the idea of escape, of staking our security only on the Second Coming of Christ.
 
As long as we live on earth, it should be our task to go forward in the power of the Gospel manifested in signs and wonders (cf. Mark 1:22 i.c.w. Hebrews 2:4).
 
Mark 1:22:
22 The people were amazed at his teaching, because he taught them as one who had authority, not as the teachers of the law.
 
Hebrews 2:4:
4 God also testified to it by signs, wonders and various miracles, and by gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to his will.
 
The end times are not something that happens to us, but rather we are ‘something’ that happens to the end times! It is our moving forward in faith, our daily focus on building the Kingdom and surrendering under the glorious guidance of God’s Spirit that makes everything work out for the best for us by loving God and doing His will.
 
Amen and Amen.

PROPHESIED ON THE 11th/15th OF FEBRUARY 2021 | 30st OF SCHEBAT/03rd OF ADAR 5781

There is the presence of ‘fire’ in the midst of the place of government, which I use to show Myself great, says the Lord!
There is hypocrisy and falsehood, lulling themselves into false security in order to oppose Me!
I use their falsely fanned ignition that burns like a fire in order to show the power of My hand, which reveals the standard of My righteousness, says the LORD!
I weigh with the weight of My righteousness, so that division caused by corruption and injustice is exposed!
I prove Myself mighty in their stoked fire and hypocritical purity (cf. Daniel 5:5-6, 25-28 i.c.w. Matthew 23:27-28)!
I count! I weigh and bring a righteous result, says the LORD!
My people stand prepared and in readiness in their fire, so that the movement of My Spirit and the intervention of My hand becomes visible (cf. Daniel 3:19-25)!
I am already among them with My righteous judgment in the halls of their government without them knowing it!
Suddenly and unexpectedly the truth comes to light so that their own arrogance becomes a trap in the midst of an apparent ‘HIGH TIME’, says the LORD (cf. Romans 11:9)!
I have seen the perseverance of My people!
I have watched how they have held fast to the truth of My Word, and through the presence of My Son, I am leading them out of the wilderness time into green pastures (cf. John 10:9)!”
 
Amen and Amen.

It is necessary for us as saints in the church – ‘ekklēsịa’ to move forward in the power of the revelatory truth of the Word of God, which encompasses the truth revealed by the Holy Spirit at this time.
 
This truth is equivalent to the statement of the letter to the Hebrews, which speaks of the sharpness of the Word of God in terms of a living, powerful, and sharp two-edged sword dealing with the inner man (cf. Hebrews 4:12-13).
 
Hebrews 4:12-13:
12 For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
 
Here it is essential to abide in the love of God – ‘agąpē’ moving coupled with His truth, which includes obeying the Word of God. This is how the true discipleship of Christ is recognized (cf. John 14:23-24).
 
John 14:23-24:
23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. 24 Anyone who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
 
True Discipleship
 
=> Like the scribes and John the Baptist, Jesus too had ‘scholars’ who submitted to His authority and followed Him everywhere.
Jesus however expects of His followers an unconditional discipleship which far exceeds traditional dimensions. The disciple of Jesus must be willing to leave everything behind for the beginning rulership of God (see Luke 9:57-62; Luke 14:25-27).
 
Luke 9:57-62:
57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.”
58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.”
59 He said to another man, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.”
60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.”
61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.”
62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plough and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.”
 
Luke 14:25-27:
25 Large crowds were travelling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 “If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters – yes, even their own life – such a person cannot be my disciple.
27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.
 
In the New Testament the term ‘disciples of Jesus’ not only describes the twelve apostles, but in a sense all Christians who submit under the authority of Jesus Christ and continue under spiritually competent i.e. mature leadership (see Matthew 28:19-20).
 
Matthew 28:19-20:
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
 
In the book of Acts the church is often described as ‘disciples’, where nowadays we would say ‘Christians’; this labeling given to the disciples of Jesus by their environment initially carried a rather deprecatory tone, ‘Christians’ (see Acts 11:26).
 
Acts 11:26:
… 26 and when he (note: Barnabas) found him (note: Saul), he brought him to Antioch. So for a whole year Barnabas and Saul met with the church and taught great numbers of people. The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch.
 
True disciples of Jesus are scholars/students who continue to learn, grow and search for knowledge of their callings and goals (citation from Rick Joyner). <= (note: The text in ‘italics’ is based on a part excerpt from the Luther Bible Edition CD-ROM and a statement by Rick Joyner.)
 
By truly following Jesus, the power of God’s Word is revealed, which is seen in the love – ‘agąpē’ of the saints in question for Christ and the plans of the Heavenly Father, as well as His will for His church – the ‘ekklēsịa’ in the present day (cf. Matthew 10:35-39).
 
Matthew 10:35-39:
35 For I have come to turn “ ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law – 36 a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’ 37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it. …”
 
The Confrontation of the Threefold Cord of Satan
 
When the Word of God is preached in love – ‘agąpē’ and truth, as well as lived out among the saints in the midst of the church – the ‘ekklēsịa’, confrontations occur with the lifestyle of believers who behave like Hymenaeus, Alexander and Philetus (cf. 1 Timothy 1:18-20; 2 Timothy 2:15-18).
 
1 Timothy 1:18-20:
18 Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, 19 holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith.
20 Among them are Hymenaeus (note: means ‘the God of weddings’) and Alexander (note: means “man-defender’), whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.
 
2 Timothy 2:15-18:
15 Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
16 Avoid godless chatter, because those who indulge in it will become more and more ungodly.
17 Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus (note: means ‘the God of weddings’) and Philetus (note: means ‘amiable’), 18 who have departed from the truth. They say that the resurrection has already taken place, and they destroy the faith of some.
 
The three persons in the mentioned scriptures can also be considered a threefold cord of darkness, which builds on false covenants, despises the anointing or power of the prophetic word and the promise contained therein, as well as opposes spiritual authority.
 
The concept of false covenant is an agreement, arrangement, or contract between at least two sides of persons or groups of persons (note: parties) in which the larger party enters into an alignment with the smaller party to achieve the common goal of darkness. Related to this is that the iniquity of the smaller party gains influence. This demonic agreement results in the smaller party moving to a higher level of wickedness, with the goal of spreading darkness.
 
It is about the attitudes in the heart of people who submit to the enemy in humanism, which means practicing love for man than living in the revelatory truth of God’s Word and His love. They are people who are earthly minded and misinterpret the realm of the spirit and its events, looking from the temporary understanding of time and mainly acting in impatience.
 
This leads to a wrong spiritual view, which is set by the adversary to cause spiritual deformities in the form of ‘false cell division’ fueled by pride, in order to bring division among disciples and in communities.
 
It is of utmost demand that we as saints be in the right structure with the right hollow measure in order to bring forth good fruits from the true fellowship of saints that enriches our relationships and society.
 
Such a fellowship is similar to a fig basket that holds only healthy figs or fruit without tolerating anything rotten due to false love (note: humanism, false understanding of sexuality/intimacy, authority; cf. Jeremiah 24:1b.2).
 
Jeremiah 24:1b.2:
… 1b the Lord showed me two baskets of figs placed in front of the temple of the Lord.
2 One basket had very good figs, like those that ripen early; the other basket had very bad figs, so bad they could not be eaten.
 
The Hebrew word ‘dûd’ used for ‘basket’ is connected with the Hebrew word ‘dôd’, which is used for ‘beloved’. (note: word explanation taken from the Elberfelder Study Bible with the word key number: 1765, 1766)
 
It is our mandate to be in a healthy spiritual relationship with one another and to turn away from those who deliberately allow themselves to be used by the enemy to walk in any kind of false understanding of covenant (note: made determinations that don’t correspond to the truth of God’s Word), humanism (note: love of and honor for people), and an oppositional behavior toward true spiritual authority, as well as a life of perverted sexuality and intimacy.
 
As a result, the separation between the sheep and the goats is carried out as well as revealed (cf. Ezekiel 34:17 i.c.w. Matthew 25:32b-33).
 
Ezekiel 34:17:
17 “ ‘As for you, my flock, this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will judge between one sheep and another, and between rams and goats. …”
 
Matthew 25:32b-33: … and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the
goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.
 
We live in a time when people in the world will be sensitive to discern whether we are hypocritical ‘Christians’ (note: someone who feels some connection to the Christian faith but lives by their own standards) or disciples in love with Jesus Christ.
 
These disciples follow the truth, being obedient in everything to the One who reveals Himself as the only truth, which enables them to position themselves in the true love of God and to be able to transmit it to others. This pure and true love is what many people in our society are looking for after being hurt by the effects of humanism, corruption as well as perverted sexuality.
 
Amen and Amen.
