We are in a week of revelation. What follows is a great example from Penny Jackson for all of us on recording what the Lord is saying to you. Penny’s dialogue with the Lord includes timing, caution, encouragement and how He is protecting us in all of the changes we are going through. I encourage you to enter in as you read this word, and set aside time to record what the Lord is speaking to you as well.
 
'I have the perfect timing for the confusion and uproar in the nation and in the nations to break. It hasn’t gotten away from Me, and I am not thrown by any of it. I know that you know that, and yet the steady diet of lies makes you stumble a little bit at times. Is it any wonder that so many are deceived? It is important for Me to put things in place because there are many righteous ones who have fallen for the deception and believed the lie.

Can you even imagine how they will feel when the truth comes out? The shock? The hurt? The guilt? They won’t know what to do or where to turn. You must pray for them. It will hit them like a bolt of lightning. They will question Me and why I let this happen, not realizing that there were signs along the way, not realizing that people could speak such lies. They will be horrified by the depth of evil. The enemy will try to hide it, but there will be a revelation and they will be face-to-face with truth. Many will be devastated, many will feel tricked, and as so often happens, they will blame Me for their decisions and choices. There will be great anger: “Why did I let that happen to them?”

A Greater Grace and Measure of Forgiveness
 
I will need those who have understanding of Me and my actions to walk with great love and compassion during that season. The enemy will try to increase the questioning of Me and will try to put great doubt in many where I am concerned. I will need those who truly know Me and My ways to guide them through this. I need those with the understanding and big picture to be there waiting.

You will need to walk with extraordinary compassion because they will lash out in anger borne of shame and embarrassment and pride. For many, they won’t feel bad and will continue to track with the enemy even after he shows his true colors in all of this, but many will be rocked to their core by their deception and their foundations will shake. They will really begin to doubt themselves. Some will hold onto the deception because it’s easier than dealing with these doubts. You will be one of these that knows Me and will share My forgiveness and will let many know who I am and how I love them.

There must not be any shred of “I told you so” or pride that you did not fall for the lies. There can be none of that because it is by My grace that you were exposed to truth during this time. And no one has walked it out perfectly. My children will be heartbroken and feel like they have let Me down. There will be such sorrow. You will help with their restoration. You will remind them of My great love. It’s a time for the Body to unify in this, to unify in this healing process. It is a time for the Body to understand fully My love and acceptance, My grace and mercy. I am preparing My Body for this time. I have called forth greater intimacy with Me through the prophets and their words. I am calling you to know Me so well that you can represent Me accurately in this time. Be My heart on earth.
 
A Walk of Caution
 
The timing in what will happen next is elusive, but close … so close. There will be such an uproar, such upheaval, when it occurs. People will feel angry but will not know where to put their anger. People will lash out but won’t know who to lash out at. Rage will ensue as they learn of cures that could have saved their loved ones. The hardest will be for them to accept the fate of the children … all those children for years. It is even hard for you to go there, and you are already aware of it. People will be horrified. So much emotion will come up, and so many people are wounded and don’t know how to handle their emotions in a healthy way. Walk this out very carefully, not going anywhere unless you feel Me strongly pull that direction. Walk with great caution. Don’t make a move, any move, until I tell you to. To do so would be very dangerous because people will be out of control for a season. Then the sorrow will hit … such a sorrow that you can’t imagine.

You remember how you felt when you first learned about it. It was hard for you to sleep at night. And you were on the right side when you heard it. Think of those who have supported those corrupted ones, who have battled for them, who have built their lives on thinking they were doing the right thing.

Prepare with Prayer
 
The saddest to watch will be those who can’t go there – who can’t face the enormity of it all. They will choose to remain deceived. It takes courage to face something like this … a great deal of courage. Pray that your family will not be among those who will continue to be deceived. Pray that they will have the courage to face this and walk through it. Pray that they will hear truth, receive truth, and that they will allow their pride to go so that they can admit truth and walk through the aftermath. Pray for a heart of repentance for them. You can’t even imagine the horror of this. But it is a pulling off of the scab so that the wound can heal, so that the infection can be removed. It will come off quickly, and it will be ugly.

I have the way to do this in place. I have the timing for this. I am working with My people to get them ready. The churches will be in amazement; to find the wickedness within My churches will be so hard for people. Pray that they will turn toward Me instead of away from Me. Declare that the enemy will not get his foot in the door with those. He longs to draw them his way. Declare that will not happen and cry out on behalf of those.

Don’t expect people to come to you in repentance ... your family, your friends. They will be dealing with the aftermath of all of this. You don’t need that anyway. In time it may come. It may never come.

A People Made Ready
 
The timing on this is close. Make yourself ready. Stay as close to Me as you ever have because it will be so necessary. I have gotten My people used to upheaval as I have prepared for this; I have walked people through challenging times they have never experienced before. Finally, most have gotten the understanding that things will never be what they were.

Put aside every distraction. Put away anything that would keep you from hearing from Me, from hearing My voice. My plan is a strategic one, and there are strategies you must know to walk it out rightly.

I am your protection in this. I will keep you safe as the rage comes forth. I will keep you in a safe place, in My shelter until that storm passes. When the sorrow comes, that is when you will make your move ... not during the rage, but during the sorrow. Then you will reach out with My heart and My compassion. Then revival will begin.

A New Stand in the Midst of Complacency
 
There is coming a time when My Body will have to take a stand in a way they haven’t in the past. There is coming a time, but it is not to be a time of fear. Haven’t I always shown Myself at what appears to be the midnight hour? Haven’t I always shown Myself? I will again. But these things will need to happen for people to see My miracles and My signs and wonders. Who I am will be seen through the brightness of these wonders in the middle of much darkness. There will be great revival but at a cost – at the cost of great darkness. Many will need the darkness to turn them toward the Light. Many will stay complacent until things are so dark that they can no longer stay in complacency. Many have been the frogs in the pot. It will get so hot that even they can’t stand it anymore. You are seeing the beginning of that in these days, but it will increase in days ahead. Know that I can direct you clearly in times like this. Know that this must happen for people to turn to Me. It’s not my heart that this must happen. Some will be lost in this, but that is just on this side of heaven. They will not be lost to Me at all.

There will be a time when it seems that you (the Body) are losing. Turn your eyes on Me and stay fully focused on Me then. I am not a man that I should lie, and I will be victorious. Darkness will try to draw you down, and will try to draw My people away. Hide yourselves for a little while. Run under My wing. It is the only safe place. You are victorious in Me. You will be victorious in Me.

An Awakening Awaits
 
Not many are seeing the battle that will precede the great third awakening. Yes, the enemy is losing and there will be no doubt that I am victorious in this. But many are not seeing what will need to happen first -- that it will have to get so dark that people will turn toward Me in their despair. As one who has that understanding, as one that knows My light will shine brightest in great darkness, I will need you to be so close to Me. You will take chances that are scary, but you will know that they are from Me. This is not a time when you will struggle to hear My Voice. You will recognize My voice clearly and immediately. Others will hear My voice through you. That responsibility won’t be scary because you will be so sure of Me in it. You will be so clear that it’s Me. But stay so close to Me that nothing can wedge its way between us. Don’t judge others for where they are and what they are doing. I am an individual God who has unique things for each of My children. Just put your focus in Me and what I require of you. I will unify My Body, but it will be made of many unique parts. As you look up together toward Me, I will draw you closer together.

The Awakening will be glorious. It will be exciting and thrilling when it gets here. However, it’s going to mean giving everything to Me, sacrificing to a different level – time-wise and involvement-wise. My hand is now and will be always on you wherever I call you to go. You will not doubt Me or My presence for a moment. All that you have and all that you are you must lay before Me. I have prepared you for such a time as this.

Ready for Battle
 
It will truly be the best of times and the worst of times, but it will lead to the holiest of times. Things that have kept My people in place will fall away, and My truth will be left standing. The world won’t give up without a fight, but I have made My people ready … ready for battle.

As the Church – the ‘ekklēsia’ it does not fail to happen that we enter periods of time when we feel that the presence of Christ is not present. This feeling, however, is only an indication that the LORD has gone to a higher place of power with His presence because it is the will of the Heavenly Father that we stand in a greater dimension of His power, authority and governmental rule as saints (cf. Luke 22:69 i.c.w. Colossians 3:1).
 
Luke 22:69:
“… 69 But from now on, the Son of Man will be seated at the right hand of the mighty God.”
 
Colossians 3:1:
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.
 
Furthermore, it is in the interest of the Father and the Son that we come to rest with our inner man in the realm of the spiritual dwelling place of the Father established by Christ Jesus and that we act out of this rest (cf. John 14:2-3 i.c.w. Hebrews 4:1.3a).
 
John 14:2-3:
2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.
 
Hebrews 4:1.3a:
1 Therefore, since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. …
3a Now we who have believed enter that rest, …
 
This dwelling place involves being enfolded in the Fatherhood and Sonship of God in Christ Jesus in order to stand in the triune presence of God’s light expressed through the Father, the Son, and His people who have set out to stand in the presence of God (cf. John 17:20-21 i.c.w. Isaiah 60:1).
 
John 17:20-21:
20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. …”
 
Isaiah 60:1:
1 “Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. …”
 
This light carries the revelatory truth of God’s Word expressed through His Fatherhood and Sonship and through the ‘ekklēsia’. Moreover, this light works victoriously in the church against the pulling forces of the adversary (cf. Psalm 119:105).
 
Psalm 119:105:
105 Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.
 
Ecclesiastes 4:12:
12 Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
 
The Entering into the Revelatory Truth and the Message of the Women
 
This going forth into the increase of God’s light can be compared to the decision of the women who, after the death of Christ, went to His tomb with the fragrant oils. They were in a certain kind of spiritual ‘emptiness’ because they ‘lost’ Jesus through the crucifixion and set out with their measure of ‘anointing’.
 
Even though they expected to find Jesus’ body in the tomb to anoint Him, they entered the realm of the truth of God’s Word for that time and were taught therein the truth about the resurrection in Christ by the wisdom and knowledge that is in Christ in the form of the two men who appeared to them (cf. Luke 24:1-8 i.c.w. Colossians 2:2-3).
 
Luke 24:1-8:
1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.
2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them.
5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?
6 He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.’ ”
8 Then they remembered his words.
 
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.
 
These two angels and the women, who in this context can be called the ‘ekklēsia’ established the presence of the triune light of Isaiah 60:1. As a result, they communicated the Word of God in a new way and thus brought light into the darkness in the form of unbelief and doubt.
 
Hereby it was not left out that also the apostles had to step into a new level of faith through the proclamation of the good news of the women, in order to set out in faith into the revelatory truth (cf. John 17:20 i.c.w. Romans 10:17).
 
John 17:20:
20 “My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, …”
 
Romans 10:17:
17 Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ.
 
The message of the women at first seemed like babble to the apostles, but ultimately they responded to the revelatory light of God’s Word that came to them through the women, so that Peter and John set out for the tomb to know the truth that brought them into greater freedom (cf. Luke 24:9-11 i.c.w. John 8:31-32).
 
Luke 24:9-11:
9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.
10 It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles.
11 But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense.
 
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.”
 
After the women delivered the revelatory truth of Jesus’ victory over sin, death and the devil, the men also entered into the power of the revelatory truth represented by the disciples or apostles. This resulted in the increase of light or revelatory knowledge kindled by more of the disciples’ testimonies. This finally reached its climax when Jesus Christ Himself entered into their midst. His coming secured the already established revelatory truth with its associated experiences.
 
This clearly reveals that our spiritual desire for more of Christ must never end, because it is the spiritual impetus to seek the truth in Christ Jesus in the respective times in order to step onto a higher level of revelatory truth and to assist that people set out on their own to find the knowledge of truth that results in true liberty in Christ (cf. Matthew 7:7 i.c.w. John 8:31-32).
 
Matthew 7:7:
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. …”
 
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.”
 
Amen and Amen.

Note:
The following message is the first part of a teaching that consists of two parts and we recommend to read the message chronologically.
 
God’s concern is to position those saints who are ready to establish the revelatory truth of His Word for this time and the time to come among His people in the places He has assigned and to establish them in the order of His Word, much as Isaiah 22:23 reveals.
 
Isaiah 22:23:
23 I will drive him (Note: Eliakim – ‘God raises’) like a peg (Note: nail) into a firm place; he will become a seat of honor for the house of his father.
 
The Firmly Hammered Nail and the Stewardship and Fatherhood of God
 
This nail represents chosen saints who move forward in the realm of leadership in the faithful stewardship and fatherhood of God as well as in the revelatory truth of the Word of God. On this basis, they serve those who abide in the structure of the bride of Christ and His governmental presence (Note: capital city Jerusalem; cf. Revelation 21:2.9-10) as devoted worshipers (Note: house of Judah – ‘worship, praise’).
 
This results in a spiritual legitimate authority in Christ Jesus to receive an intensification in the God-assigned anointing, which is accompanied by authority of access and is equivalent to a so-called ‘master key’ of a building.
 
This authorization of access derives from the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the knowledge that you are loved by God as well as you are meant to be in a pure relationship in truth with Him. From this follows that we get authorized to open the doors of the realms in the Spirit to which we are sent on God’s behalf (cf. Isaiah 22:20-22).
 
Isaiah 22:20-22:
20 “In that day I will summon my servant, Eliakim (Note: Eliakim – ‘God raises’) son of Hilkiah (Note: Hilkijah – ‘portion of YHVH’).
21 I will clothe him with your robe and fasten your sash around him and hand your authority over to him. He will be a father to those who live in Jerusalem and to the people of Judah.
22 I will place on his shoulder the key to the house of David; what he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open.
 
By the uncompromised walk of believers in the revelatory truth of God’s Word as well as in obedience to His instruction, they belong to God’s ownership arsenal (cf. Exodus 19:5).
 
Exodus 19:5:
5 Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, …
 
We can assume that this nail was hammered into a fortified wall and is destined to carry a God-assigned multitude of believers in His assigned responsibility in the standard of the truth of His Word in this era and the era to come.
 
The Spiritual Dimension of Eliakim and the Pure Shining Light of the Menorah
 
It is the mission of saints sojourning in the dimension of ‘Eliakim’ to initiate the God-ordained awakening in His people, which is equivalent to the raising of the twelve-year-old daughter of
Jairus (Note: means ‘He enlightens’), the ruler of the synagogue by Jesus Christ.
 
This is due to the raising of the daughter, when Jesus gave the command ‘Talita kum! - Little girl, get up!’ which was used towards her, in which the Hebrew word ‘qûm’ is a word component at the end of the name of ‘Eliakim’. This raising up was about God’s plan to let the truth of God’s word shine in a stronger intensity of revelation.
 
The task of the ruler of the synagogue is, among other things, to assist in preaching the Word of God (Note: Torah) to the respective community of saints. Furthermore, they are responsible for the observance of the spiritual order (cf. 1 Corinthians 14:33a) and the distribution of the respective tasks in the congregation, as well as for the maintenance of the congregational building (Note: synagogue).
 
Based on this in connection with the raising of Jairus’ daughter, we can see that it was in God’s plan to bring the truth of His Word, the knowledge of His established spiritual order, and the understanding of righteous administration in relation to the fellowship of saints into a greater dimension of the power of His revelatory light with the goal of shining out from this realm (cf. Psalm 36:9 i.c.w. James 1:17).
 
Psalm 36:9:
9 For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.
 
James 1:17:
17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
 
The intensification of the revelatory light is revealed by the command and intervention of Jesus, who expelled from the place all those present in the house who were in disrespect because of unbelief. Jesus allowed only Jairus, Jairus’ wife and His three disciples Peter, James, and John to enter the house, while Jairus’ daughter lay dead (Note: spiritually asleep) in bed (cf. Mark 5:35-40).
 
Mark 5:35-40:
35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”
36 Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”
37 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.
38 When they came to the home of the synagogue leader, Jesus saw a commotion, with people crying and wailing loudly.
39 He went in and said to them, “Why all this commotion and wailing? The child is not dead but asleep.”
40 But they laughed at him. After he put them all out, he took the child’s father and mother and the disciples who were with him, and went in where the child was.
 
Accordingly, including Jesus, there were seven people in Jairus’ house, which is a reference to the ‘dimension of the Menorah’, namely, the seven-fold Spirit of God (cf. Isaiah 11:2).
 
Isaiah 11:2:
2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him – the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord – …
 
From the alignment with Jesus and the persons in the house of Jairus, it is evident that the Menorah was to shine in a new way in the full capacity and purity in the fiery essence of God to the people to taste and see the face of God (cf. Hebrews 12:29 i.c.w. Psalm 34:8).
 
Hebrews 12:29:
29 for our “God is a consuming fire cf. Deuteronomy 4:24).”
 
Psalm 34:8:
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
 
It was the fiery warm light of the Menorah that shone forward from south to north and with whose cone of light the twelve shew breads (Note: also called ‘bread of His presence’) were irradiated (cf. Exodus 26:35 i.c.w. Numbers 8:2-3).
 
Exodus 26:35:
35 Place the table outside the curtain on the north side of the tabernacle and put the lampstand opposite it on the south side.
 
Numbers 8:2-3:
2 “Speak to Aaron and say to him, ‘When you set up the lamps, see that all seven light up the area in front of the lampstand.’ ”
3 Aaron did so; he set up the lamps so that they faced forward on the lampstand, just as the Lord commanded Moses.
 
This means in the context of the raising of the twelve-year-old daughter of Jairus that the ‘living Menorah’ of the church – ekklēsia in the form of Jesus as the revelatory truth of the word of God, His three disciples as the apostolic mission of God, Jairus together with his wife as the covenant relationship in first love (Note: agąpē) and his ‘sleeping’ daughter as the church – ekklēsia in the rest of God, was ignited. This ignition reveals the call to go ahead as ‘Ekklēsia’ in a new way on behalf of Christ with the burning power of the new day in revelatory truth and in the structure of the new wineskin (cf. Isaiah 26:19).
 
Isaiah 26:19:
19 But your dead will live, Lord; their bodies will rise – let those who dwell in the dust wake up and shout for joy – your dew is like the dew of the morning; the earth will give birth to her dead.
 
It was the duty of Aaron the high priest and his sons to clean the lamps of the Menorah in the morning, so that it would shine in its sevenfold light in purity with the beginning of the new day, since in the biblical context the day begins with evening (cf. Exodus 27:21 i.c.w. Genesis 1:2-5).
 
Exodus 27:21:
21 In the tent of meeting, outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law, Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning before the Lord from evening till morning. This is to be a lasting ordinance among the Israelites for the generations to come.
 
Genesis 1:2-5:
2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.
4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning – the first day.
 
The Instruction of Christ and His Seizure
 
Jesus’ instruction to the daughter of Jairus was related to His seizure of her hand, which involves the transfer of God’s strength and His plans for the saints who are serving in the office of the fivefold ministry in the church and are destined to equip the ‘Ekklēsia’ with the nourishment of the Word of God and its mysteries for this time (cf. Mark 5:41-43 i.c.w.. Matthew 4:4; Ephesians 4:11-13).
 
Mark 5:41-43:
41 He took her by the hand and said to her, “Talitha koum!” (which means “Little girl, I say to you, get up!”).
42 Immediately the girl stood up and began to walk around (she was twelve years old). At this they were completely astonished.
43 He gave strict orders not to let anyone know about this, and told them to give her something to eat.
 
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).’”
 
Ephesians 4:11-13:
11 So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
 
In order for the ‘great light’ of the Menorah to effectively shine with the new day of the LORD, it is necessary that we remove the voices and presence of unbelief from the foreordained realm of God’s manifested plans. As it is revealed to us by the incident at the house of Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, where Jesus, as mentioned earlier, entered Jairus’ house with His three chosen disciples to remove unbelief from the house in the form of mourning and mockery.
 
This action is tantamount to the cleansing of the lamps of the Menorah by the high priest, so that it may once again shine unclouded in its fullness and purity. => Jairus’ daughter is to be seen here as a symbol of the new wineskin in the apostolic order (cf. Mark 5:22-24.35-37).
 
Mark 5:22-24.35-37:
22 Then one of the synagogue leaders, named Jairus, came, and when he saw Jesus, he fell at his feet.
23 He pleaded earnestly with him, “My little daughter is dying. Please come and put your hands on her so that she will be healed and live.”
24 So Jesus went with him. A large crowd followed and pressed around him. …
35 While Jesus was still speaking, some people came from the house of Jairus, the synagogue leader. “Your daughter is dead,” they said. “Why bother the teacher anymore?”
36 Overhearing what they said, Jesus told him, “Don’t be afraid; just believe.”
37 He did not let anyone follow him except Peter, James and John the brother of James.
 
Amen and Amen.
