The following message is the third part of a teaching that consists of four parts, and we recommend reading the message chronologically.
 
The Implementation of Nanotechnology in the Human Body
 
Implanted computer and nanotechnological elements in the human body are intended to remove or freely insert various functions, limitations or specific characteristics, until the desired immortality is achieved. Even if their form of immortality is an illusion, it is thrillingly dangerous and makes use of ‘AI’ applications to spread.
 
According to the transhumanist position, the dignity of human life, which we believe in according to the Word of God, is no obstacle to this, as it does not exist in its next ‘evolutionary stage’! In their view, it is only this true intelligence of an artificial, and therefore ‘more perfect kind’, that is to be appreciated according to their doctrine.
 
There is evidence of this in numerous articles on the global, industrial praise of medical advances in the use of implanted nanochips and also the philosophical praise of overcoming limitations in humans in general. In the future, artificial intelligence will be used to avoid or ‘modify’ people with disabilities and ‘less intelligent’ individuals. This is being touted as a way of improving the quality of life in society, which is what ‘AI’ is supposed to generate in its advances.
 
They reject, and this should certainly move us as Christians, the truth that God has established for all time in the creation report to define us in our identity as human beings (cf. Genesis 1:26-27).
 
Genesis 1:26-27:
26 Then God said, ‘Let us make mankind in our image, in our likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and all the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.’
27 So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.
 
Thankfully, there is a growing movement of awakened citizens and dismayed parents worldwide who are legitimately critical of these developments by transhumanist global corporations and the organizations they fund to the tune of billions of dollars. The promotion of the LGBTQ+ movement is also part of the leveling of the future according to the ideological orientation of transhumanist development, as well as the progressive touting of new sensors and cameras that can replace humans installed everywhere, such as self-driving vehicles with ‘AI’, etc., from which Christians professedly distance themselves.
 
It is a fact that if you look into it, you will find that this arrogance of elitist circles of people with the highest financial influence in the world (Note: the largest companies in the pharmaceutical, IT and financial industries are led by them) is the greater threat to our future as humanity than a war or ‘climate change’ as claimed.
 
Satan’s hatred and contempt for us as a human species is also revealed in their transhumanist attitude of being ‘gods’ who ultimately decide by selection which life is allowed to live within a society and which is not, for which they already use ‘AI’.
 
Since they must be stopped in their plans, for which we as the body of Christ have been given the authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, we cannot fatalistically dismiss them in their evil activities by arguing that it is ‘excessive caution’, a form of ‘science fiction’ theory or a conspiracy (cf. Luke 10:19).
 
Luke 10:19:
19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
 
Because the further influences of ‘AI’ applications and their ‘protecting us from ourselves’ advertising on social media, educational programs in schools and kindergartens, increase of state-sponsored sex changes of teenagers, high numbers of leaving church members, censorship and disinformation in the disseminated media, political efforts of digital total surveillance continue.
 
Currently, the globalists are moving forward in many countries, fueling the expansion of the social credit score system, and the political, business and entertainment figures favored by the transhumanist groups will not help them stop their works of darkness unless we stop them (cf. Ephesians 5:11).
 
Ephesians 5:11:
11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.
 
In the last few years, we have witnessed that many believing Christians unfortunately know too little about the context of the transhumanism agenda or do not take a strong enough stand in watching and praying to show courage for the truth when it comes to the background of this advertised use of miraculous ‘AI’ in everyday life.
 
The Pitched Tent of Abraham and the City of Ai
 
The abbreviation ‘AI’ of the word for ‘artificial intelligence – AI’ mentioned at the beginning hides a spiritual strategy according to the truth of God’s Word, which we find in Genesis 12:8ff. where it is about Abraham, who later separated from his nephew Lot.
 
Genesis 12:8:
8 From there he went on towards the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.
 
We know that Jesus said that in the last days it will be like the time of Noah and Lot, whereas in Lot’s time the focus was more on the increase of the economy and in Noah’s time the focus was on the interpersonal relationship (cf. Luke 17:26-28).
 
Luke 17:26-28:
26 ‘Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man.
27 People were eating, drinking, marrying and being given in marriage up to the day Noah entered the ark. Then the flood came and destroyed them all.
28 ‘It was the same in the days of Lot. People were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building.
 
From this it is clear that we are entering a season in which there will be a separation like that of Abraham and Lot. Both had large flocks which is a symbol of the economy. Their flocks were led by shepherds who were assigned by Abraham and Lot to their respective flocks and for whom they were responsible.
 
This means that both Abraham and Lot had an apostolic function, which was accompanied by an apostolic oversight of their shepherds and flocks (cf. Genesis 13:1-6).
 
Genesis 13:1-6:
1 So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, with his wife and everything he had, and Lot went with him.
2 Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold.
3 From the Negev he went from place to place until he came to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had been earlier 4 and where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the Lord.
5 Now Lot, who was moving about with Abram, also had flocks and herds and tents.
6 But the land could not support them while they stayed together, for their possessions were so great that they were not able to stay together.
 
It is said that Abraham, or Abram, came to Bethel, where he had previously pitched his tent, the site of which was between Bethel and Ai, and there he built an altar to the LORD (Note: YAHWEH) and called upon His name (cf. Genesis 12:8).
 
Genesis 12:8:
8 From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.
 
Here Bethel (Note: house of God) was on the west and Ai (Note: heap of stones, ruin) was on the east, which is an indication of the conflict and impact between the Kingdom of God and the mindset or spirit of ‘AI’ as an influence, in which it is important to have the right spiritual overview in the sobriety of the Spirit.
  
With our present knowledge and view from the realm of eternity, Abraham passed from south to north through the territories of the tribes of Simeon, Judah and Benjamin so that he could pitch his tent in the territory of Ephraim, indicating the anointing of the double. This is the meaning of the name Ephraim – double fruitfulness (cf. Genesis 13:1-4).
 
Genesis 13:1-4:
1 So Abram went up from Egypt to the Negev, with his wife and everything he had, and Lot went with him.
2 Abram had become very wealthy in livestock and in silver and gold.
3 From the Negev he went from place to place until he came to Bethel, to the place between Bethel and Ai where his tent had been earlier 4 and where he had first built an altar. There Abram called on the name of the Lord.
 
The anointing of the double includes, among other things, the strength to successfully conclude an old time and to enter into the new time, in order to prepare with fresh strength the people for the new.
 
In relation to Abraham’s journey and the erection of his tent, it is clear that he was sensitive to the voice of God and his response (Simeon), to move forward in praise (Judah), which is an expression of trust in God, to understand and act on the authority of the Son of God (Benjamin), and to live in the twofold measure of God’s blessing (Ephraim).
 
Also related to this is the knowledge that we have no permanent place on this earth for which the erected tent is the symbol, but possess an inner thrust to understand more deeply our place of eternity, which is the messianic heavenly Jerusalem, that is also the bride and wife of the Lamb (cf. Hebrews 13:14 i.c.w. Revelation 21:2.9-10).
 
Hebrews 13:14:
14 For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.
 
Revelation 21:2.9-10:
2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. …
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”
10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
 
The Renewing of the Mind 
 
It is irreplaceable for us to allow the Holy Spirit to set our thoughts straight in the truth of God’s Word regarding the topic of ‘AI’ and its source, which is by no means or not at all a source that loves people or recognizes or serves people as God’s creation.
 
With the Spirit of God, it is possible for us as members of the body of Christ to allow ourselves to be renewed wherever we have deviated from God’s standard and may not even recognize it as wrong (cf. Romans 12:2 i.c.w. Ephesians 4:23).
 
Romans 12:2:
2 Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.
 
Ephesians 4:23:
… 23 to be made new in the attitude of your minds; …
 
However, as we continue to walk in Christ, we also have to let go of certain people who have a different mindset and want to hold on to it. This means letting go of people who prioritize other things in their lives, just as Lot did for us as a lesson.
 
Lot’s perspective was more focused on temporary prosperity than on the will of God, which is evident from the decisions he made regarding his subordinate shepherds who quarreled with the shepherds of Abraham as well as his choice of the watery and fertile area near the Jordan River (cf. Genesis 13:7-11).
 
Genesis 13:7-11:
7 And quarreling arose between Abram’s herders and Lot’s. The Canaanites and Perizzites were also living in the land at that time.
8 So Abram said to Lot, “Let’s not have any quarreling between you and me, or between your herders and mine, for we are close relatives.
9 Is not the whole land before you? Let’s part company. If you go to the left, I’ll go to the right; if you go to the right, I’ll go to the left.”
10 Lot looked around and saw that the whole plain of the Jordan toward Zoar was well watered, like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt. (This was before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah.)
11 So Lot chose for himself the whole plain of the Jordan and set out toward the east. The two men parted company: …
 
Abraham, on the other hand, was not primarily concerned with the fertility of the land, but with maintaining peace and walking in faith, which is why he gave Lot the opportunity to decide according to his proposed offer, namely to go to the left or to the right. From this it is clear that Abraham acted selflessly and in trust toward God, which revealed his righteous attitude and generosity.
 
Abraham was not concerned with acting according to his own preferences and ideas in order to see possession grow and to guard or defend it on his own authority because of the fear of lacking or even losing it.
 
Abraham trusted in the promise given to him by God to provide for him in life. Because he believed and trusted God completely, he did not seek his own advantage through greed, stubbornness, rivalry and covetousness.
 
It can be assumed that the entrance of Abraham’s tent was facing north, and Lot had already turned his focus to the east (cf. Genesis 12:8 i.c.w. Genesis 13:3-4), as he had a different focus than Abraham.
 
Abraham had the eternal seat of God’s government in mind, since the seat of God is in the farthest north (cf. Psalm 48:2).
 
Psalm 48:2:
2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
 
Lot, on the other hand, was more concerned with a new and growing economy, which is shown by the ‘east’, where the sun begins to rise, and most people go about their day’s work.
 
We can learn from his decision that Lot decided against Abraham’s offer, which had fatal consequences for Lot. This was followed by imprisonment and the later destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah due to the wickedness of the people living there.
 
Amen and Amen.

The following message is the last part of a teaching that consists of four parts, and we recommend reading the message chronologically.
 
The Battle under the Leadership of Joshua and the City of Ai
 
Additionally, it should not go unmentioned that Joshua and the people of Israel entered a battle with the men from the city of Ai in the Promised Land.
 
Due to the misconduct of Achan (Note: means ‘troublesome, grief’), who stole things from the spoils dedicated to God from the ‘first fruit city’ of Jericho, the people of Israel lost to the men of the city of Ai and had thirty-six dead warriors to mourn (cf. Joshua 7:2-5.11-12).
 
Joshua 7:1-5.11-12:
1 But the Israelites were unfaithful in regard to the devoted things; Achan son of Karmi, the son of Zimri, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took some of them. So the Lord’s anger burned against Israel.
2 Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth Aven to the east of Bethel, and told them, ‘Go up and spy out the region.’ So the men went up and spied out Ai.
3 When they returned to Joshua, they said, ‘Not all the army will have to go up against Ai. Send two or three thousand men to take it and do not weary the whole army, for only a few people live there.’
4 So about three thousand went up; but they were routed by the men of Ai, 5 who killed about thirty-six of them. They chased the Israelites from the city gate as far as the stone quarries and struck them down on the slopes. At this the hearts of the people melted in fear and became like water. …
11 Israel has sinned; they have violated my covenant, which I commanded them to keep. They have taken some of the devoted things; they have stolen, they have lied, they have put them with their own possessions.
12 That is why the Israelites cannot stand against their enemies; they turn their backs and run because they have been made liable to destruction. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy whatever among you is devoted to destruction.
 
In the context of ‘artificial intelligence’ or ‘AI’, the city of Ai in the land of promise and its root word can be used to recognize a satanic plan of destruction that the adversary is pursuing with humanity.
 
The root word of the Hebrew name ‘Ai’ is ‘’āwāh’ and means ‘to transgress, to sin, to act perversely, to act twistedly in the form of perverted, to degenerate’. (Note: Explanation of the Hebrew root word ‘’āwāh’ of the name ‘Ai’ taken from the Elberfelder Study Bible with the word key number: 5868)
 
Achan can be equated with believers who have their focus solely on gain and influence, and ultimately, regrettably, no matter the cost or the ‘art’ involved. The pride of the flesh, as mentioned earlier, does not allow them to realize that they are the deceived ones.
 
The thirty-six or so dead men in the first battle against the city of Ai should serve as a warning to us that the dynamics of artificial intelligence ‘AI’ from a carnally evolved dimension in the seed of the serpent will become a curse to humanity, as well as bring us down if we as ecclesia do not take a stand in accordance with God's will (Note: 6 x 6 = human action in full agreement with artificial intelligence brings forth curse).
 
Let us remind ourselves that there are already countless ways in which AI is used in today's modern warfare which, from a military point of view, can be classified as a kind of curse for human beings. For years now, there have been drones equipped with ‘AI’ that can shoot at, contaminate or ignite people, aircraft, vehicles or buildings in areas without being linked and without a verifiable command. Since the first successful deployments of these types of drones in recent years, demand and production have increased on the global market.
 
This means that these drones are used in a targeted manner to destroy people or places using an ‘independent type of targeting’ with the help of ‘AI’, while they cannot be assigned to a human order, so that someone such as the military of a particular nation, a military unit or an intelligence service could be held accountable. How much leeway or margin this lack of order provides for all sorts of fake news and the deliberate spread of panic information should be somewhat obvious to everyone. Who benefits from such a plan to kill?
 
In what respectable and ethically comprehensible strategies for the defense of human rights still count here? What story can the surviving relatives of the deceased still believe and tell their loved ones if it was no one, or possibly the one they are supposed to believe, or just a technical calculation error that cannot be attributed to anyone? (cf. Psalm 36:1-3 i.c.w. Proverbs 6:16-19).
 
Psalm 36:1-3:
1 I have a message from God in my heart concerning the sinfulness of the wicked: There is no fear of God before their eyes.
2 In their own eyes they flatter themselves too much to detect or hate their sin.
3 The words of their mouths are wicked and deceitful; they fail to act wisely or do good.
 
Proverbs 6:16-19:
16 There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: 17 haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, 18 a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, 19 a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
 
Finally, Joshua receives the strategy and the commission from God to take action a second time against the city of Ai and its initiator, the king, which ultimately leads to a victory for the people of Israel over the king and the inhabitants of Ai (cf. Joshua 8:1-2.26-29).
 
Joshua 8:1-2.26-29:
1 Then the Lord said to Joshua, ‘Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack Ai. For I have delivered into your hands the king of Ai, his people, his city and his land.
2 You shall do to Ai and its king as you did to Jericho and its king, except that you may carry off their plunder and livestock for yourselves. Set an ambush behind the city.’ …
26 For Joshua did not draw back the hand that held out his javelin until he had destroyed all who lived in Ai.
27 But Israel did carry off for themselves the livestock and plunder of this city, as the Lord had instructed Joshua.
28 So Joshua burned Ai and made it a permanent heap of ruins, a desolate place to this day.
29 He impaled the body of the king of Ai on a pole and left it there until evening. At sunset, Joshua ordered them to take the body from the pole and throw it down at the entrance of the city gate. And they raised a large pile of rocks over it, which remains to this day.
 
Call to Action
 
Our prayer is that the saints as ecclesia in Europe will understand to what extent these greatly accelerated ‘AI’ applications and ongoing developments are already having an effect socially (!) and that Heavenly Father will decisively warn us against them.
 
Not because we are asked about our personal view of what man is and whether man and woman as both sexes belong to our faith as established by God as Creator at birth, but because we have to stand up for the indivisible truth of God’s Word in daily prayers, our initiative in everyday life and social areas of life before it is too late (cf. Jeremiah 21:12 i.c.w. Psalm 149:6-9).
 
Jeremiah 21:12:
12 This is what the Lord says to you, house of David: ‘ “Administer justice every morning; rescue from the hand of the oppressor the one who has been robbed, or my wrath will break out and burn like fire because of the evil you have done – burn with no-one to quench it. …”
 
Psalm 149:6-9:
6 May the praise of God be in their mouths and a double-edged sword in their hands, 7 to inflict vengeance on the nations and punishment on the peoples, 8 to bind their kings with fetters, their nobles with shackles of iron, 9 to carry out the sentence written against them – this is the glory of all his faithful people. Praise the Lord.
 
It is essential that we take action NOW. The living God, our LORD and King of the universe wants to see us, His bride, stand in faith and produce works of righteousness (cf. Revelation 19:8).
 
Revelation 19:8:
8 Fine linen, bright and clean, was given her to wear.’ (Fine linen stands for the righteous acts of God’s holy people.)
 
Anyone who takes a closer look at ‘AI’ and conducts research or has direct personal contact with IT experts will no doubt realize that the many wondrous achievements of this technological application are enormous, revolutionary and incredibly fast and time-saving.
 
However, without legal regulation and regulation by trustworthy structures based on biblical principles, they do not represent any gain for us humans, just as developers of artificial intelligence have repeatedly demanded worldwide for years that it must be regulated in order to truly protect people in their dignity. If IT-developers with insider knowledge as well as renowned whistleblowers with years of expertise in dealing with artificial intelligence are already warning against this, what should this tell us as lovers of God?
 
The rapid developments in image, sound and video processing by ‘AI’ alone lead to many unanswered questions regarding our ability to check the truthfulness of information and virtually shared content now and in the future. This is reminiscent of the prophecy suggested in the letter to Timothy with regard to people turning to fables, which in ancient Greek can also be translated as ‘mythos’, i.e. myths. These are myths that will interest people more than the truth.
 
This may not be unusual for many, but what about us as disciples of Christ? How will we be different from people if we are not committed to the truth? What gospel are we proclaiming if we allow ‘AI’ to supposedly ‘help’ us with this, but in which there is no truth or a distorted, counterfeit truth to be found? What exactly are we worshipping by being fascinated and enthusiastic about it, investing our attention and time in it, when it is nothing true or holy at all, and God is not in it?
 
How do we discern truth from deception in the future if we use the source of deception to seek truth instead of asking the One who alone is truth (cf. John 4:24)?
 
John 4:24:
‘… 24 God is spirit, and his worshippers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.’
 
Beloved in Christ, let’s not fool ourselves: It is just not an instrument controlled by just our ‘clicking’, opening an app or turning it on and off to effectively help us humans in different areas of life like the invention of the car, the washer-dryer combo or an air conditioner that turns itself on at a set temperature. Perhaps we recognize that those days are long gone?
 
It should therefore be understandable for us to be as consciously vigilant and cautious as possible in our use of ‘AI’ applications. We should check each application to see to what extent we use it for what purpose and limit it in terms of time.
 
Finally, we turn to an essential aspect that may be particularly troubling to saints already in ministry when dealing with believers who are less sober and cautious in their use of ‘AI’ and social media. We are seeing more and more secular culture entering the body of Christ, manifested in a desire for constant shortcuts, quick results and instant fixes or stimulation.
 
Many young believers lack much insight in recognizing the truth that waiting and meeting something with patience has to do with God’s very nature and therefore His glory.
 
It is quite dangerous when people think they can dictate to the Spirit of God when He should move and how effectively or quickly, He should move. This is not an attitude of great faith to be glossed over, but in itself the arrogant and carnal mindset that gives Satan access to us, our relationships, gatherings and ultimately life decisions (cf. John 10:10a).
 
John 10:10a:
10a The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; …
 
There is not enough space here for the references in the Word of God regarding our need to wait upon God, but those who study the Word of God and love the daily intimacy of the Holy Spirit, and never hasty, Spirit know this truth that keeps us in spiritual walk in obedience to the Lord.
 
Let no power or influence be allowed to interfere with our sensitivity and devotion in the Holy Spirit to keep us in worship in spirit and truth before the Father.
 
We want to sow and reap in the Spirit, not in the power of our soul, and this while we are surrounded by the end-time frenzy of digital ID as virtual identity, shocks in systems and also ‘AI’ used against us (cf. Galatians 6:7 i.c.w. Titus 1:15-16).
 
Galatians 6:7:
7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
 
Titus 1:15-16:
15 To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted.
16 They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good.
 
Therefore, let us watch and pray, where no ‘AI’ can help us, keeping our hearts and our minds to want to stand before our one and only living God, to give Him the glory, even if we do not approve of everything that excites and fascinates people in this time.
 
‘If anyone does not love the Lord, let him be accursed. Maranata!’ summarizes almost everything we have to say about artificial intelligence in one apostolic sentence, as here in 1 Corinthians 16:22. The word ‘marạna thạ’ is from the Aramaic and means ‘The Lord is approaching!’ or ‘The Lord is coming!’
 
Amen and Amen.

PROPHETIC CHAMBER
Note:
The following message is the first part of a teaching that consists of two parts, and we recommend reading the message chronologically.
 
As we are in the time of counting the sheaves, which is preparing us for Shavuot’s feast day at the time of Pentecost season, let us go into a revelation the Lord has given me with regard to the window of time of Shavuot/Pentecost (cf. Leviticus 23:15-17.22 i.c.w. Acts 2:1-4).
 
Leviticus 23:15-17.22:
15 “ ‘From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, count off seven full weeks.
16 Count off fifty days up to the day after the seventh Sabbath, and then present an offering of new grain to the Lord.
17 From wherever you live, bring two loaves made of two-tenths of an ephah of the finest flour, baked with yeast, as a wave offering of firstfruits to the Lord. …
22 “ ‘When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap to the very edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and for the foreigner residing among you. I am the Lord your God.’ ”
 
Acts 2:1-4:
1 When the day of Pentecost (Note: Shavuot- feast of weeks) came, they were all together in one place.
2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them.
4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
 
The Counting of the Omer/Sheaves and the Coming Revelation
 
=> The counting of the Omer (Note: sheaf), which the people of Israel begin every year in the cycle of redemption in the biblical month of ‘Nissan|Aviv’, hides the key to understanding the process towards the promise.
 
Throughout history, Israel was repeatedly reminded of its escape from Egypt from generation to generation. Passover became the day to remember the deliverance and to begin a counting from one harvest entry point until harvest was moving into fullness. This became known as the counting of the Omer. This counting provides a time-sequenced guide that opens the way for new revelation and multiplication.
 
The real theme of this time of counting is the expectation of breakthrough.
 
Counting with an expectation for visitation and harvest causes a new level of faith to arise. Biblically, we are in the time between the barley harvest and the wheat harvest. So, this is a time of counting from HARVEST to HARVEST. Therefore, we should realign our emotions so that the function of ‘expectation’ is restored and receptive to the Holy Spirit. In addition, we should allow a new harvest mentality to develop so that we are positioned for multiplication.
 
This requires that we allow the Holy Spirit to shift our vision where necessary so that it is redefined and established, so that we can rise above our current status and release the next stage of harvest.
 
The time frame between Passover and Shavuot/Pentecost contains great revelation as we count the Omer or sheaves from a Spirit-filled perspective.
 
The time between Passover and Pentecost is a time of transition. Transition means to cross over. The Omer time is the time to reflect on things, how to use your supplies and build up supplies for the future. This is an important time of growth and introspection. It is advisable to review all revelations of the past season and the way we have dealt with supplies in the last season.
 
In addition, the counting of the Omer is meant to remind us of the connection between Passover (Note: commemorates the Exodus from Egypt) and Pentecost (Note: commemorates the giving of the Torah). It can also be referred to as the time between the eternal established victory through Jesus Christ and the increase of the Holy Spirit.
 
This counting reminded the Israelites that their redemption from slavery was not complete until they had received the Torah.
 
The people of Israel were delivered from Egypt so that they could carry out the will and purposes of God on earth. An important reason for this season is that we express our desire for a revelation of God to come alive in us. As we engage in this season of the ‘counting of the Omer’ we will enter into new revelation. 
 
Our covenant is based on the understanding of the sun, moon and earth in accordance with the Father’s plan of redemption (cf. Genesis 1:14-19).
 
Genesis 1:14-19:
14 And God said, ‘Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.’ And it was so.
16 God made two great lights – the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars.
17 God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good.
19 And there was evening, and there was morning – the fourth day.
 
The Word of God revolves around the biblical Feasts. They were holy assemblies.
 
Remembering these physical events allows us to understand the spiritual significance of what has come and what is yet to come! The Feasts forecasted His sacrifice for us. They also foretell the complete redemption of His people and the alignment of all nations ,which are His inheritance (cf. Psalm 2).
 
With the so-called ‘weaving of the Firstfruits’ at Passover time before the LORD and then at Pentecost/Shavuot (Note: Feast of Weeks), where we receive the anointing to gather and increase, our faith is displayed and our confidence arises for our provisions to be released.
 
In this day and age, it is useless to participate in the Feasts in a legalistic way. We cannot keep them, but we can honor the Heavenly Father by remembering Him and receiving from Him at these appointed times (cf. Galatians 3:10).
 
Galatians 3:10:
10 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: ‘Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.’
 
We no longer have to look for an ultimate sacrifice - it has already been offered on the cross. This has broken Satan’s dominion over us personally and over humanity as a whole. However, we are still called to ‘enter’ into the fullness of this plan.  By participating in and remembering the Feasts NOW, they cease to be shadows of things to come. They actually cause us to see our future path to our promise. <= (Note: The text set in ‘=>’ is based on strategic advice from Chuck D. Pierce from the 4/15/2025 prayer letter.)
 
King Ahab and Elijah and The Reason of a Drought
 
In connection with the time of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit led me to 1 Kings 17-18 and referred to the prophet Elijah, who faced King Ahab, the seventh king of Israel in the drought that Elijah had prophesied on behalf of God (cf. 1 Kings 17:1).
 
1 Kings 17:1:
1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.”
 
When we are in periods of dryness caused by God, it is important to the Heavenly Father to reveal the power of His Lamb who was slain. At the same time, it is important for Him to show us to which extent, He has already established His divine order in us by His Holy Spirit. This is equivalent to an open riverbed in a dry period.
 
So, it was no coincidence that John the Baptist was placed in the desert at the Jordan, the main river of Israel (Note: means ‘the descendant or rich in rapids’) and prophesied there (cf. John 1:23-29).
 
John 1:23-29:
23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet [cf. Isaiah 40:3], “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’ ”…
29 The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him and said, “Look, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!
 
The Great Threshing Sledge and God’s Whirlwind
 
A river with its banks and structure and its depth only becomes apparent to the human eye when there is a persistent dry period. This principle should encourage us and even reveal to us that even though we might feel that people are taking advantage of us by ‘walking on/over or crossing us’, we are not a small worm, but a great threshing sledge that works with the high whirlwind of God who is the Holy Spirit (cf. Isaiah 41:14-16 i.c.w. Acts 2:1-2)!
 
Isaiah 41:14-16:
14 Do not be afraid, you worm Jacob, little Israel, do not fear, for I myself will help you,” declares the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.
15 “See, I will make you into a threshing sledge, new and sharp, with many teeth. You will thresh the mountains and crush them, and reduce the hills to chaff.
16 You will winnow them, the wind will pick them up, and a gale will blow them away. But you will rejoice in the Lord and glory in the Holy One of Israel.
 
Acts 2:1-2:
1 When the day of Pentecost (Note: Shavuot – feast of weeks) came, they were all together in one place.
2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting.
 
The Strong Teeth of the Bride
 
God has given us strong teeth in order to be a ‘weapon’. It is about the true love, unity and purity of the saints in the Bride of Christ by fellowship in the Word of God (cf. Song of Songs 4:2 i.c.w. Ephesians 5:25-27).
 
Song of Songs 4:2:
2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin; not one of them is alone.
 
Ephesians 5:25-27:
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.
 
All Things Must Serve Saints for the Best!
 
To come back to King Ahab and Elijah, I would like to speak positively about the seventh King of Israel in this message, even though he cooperated with Jezebel in his time and allowed her to rule over him.
 
The letter to the Romans reveals to us that all things must serve for good to those who love God (cf. Romans 8:28).
 
Romans 8:28:
28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.
Even if there were false prophets in the time of Ahab who rebelled against the true prophets of God, we can take from this whole event or the confrontation by the ‘Spirit of Elijah’ a strategy for this time, which I will explain later (cf. 1 Kings 18:18-19 i.c.w. Revelation 2:20).

1 Kings 18:18-19:
18 “I have not made trouble for Israel,” Elijah replied. “But you and your father’s family have. You have abandoned the Lord’s commands and have followed the Baals.
 
19 Now summon the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.”

Revelation 2:20:
20 Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.
 
The Drought Announced by the Prophet Elijah – The Dew and the Rain
 
Due to the decree of the prophet Elijah, there was a three-and-a-half-year drought in Israel, in which there was neither dew nor rain until God allowed Elijah on his behalf to open heaven again to end this drought in Israel (cf. 1 Kings 17:1 i.c.w. Luke 4:25).
 
1 Kings 17:1:
1 Now Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab, “As the Lord, the God of Israel, lives, whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word.”
 
Luke 4:25:
25 I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah’s time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land.
 
In the prophetic context, this drought means that there was little revelation and less sound teaching related to God’s manifestation among His people. The reason is that dew is associated with the message of revelation and the manifestation of God in the atmosphere. Rain, on the other hand, is related to sound doctrine (cf. Deuteronomy 32:2).
 
Deuteronomy 32:2:
2 Let my teaching fall like rain and my words descend like dew, like showers on new grass, like abundant rain on tender plants.
 
The Drought and God’s Order
 
When God, as mentioned before, comes upon His people with a period of drought, He reveals His order. He shows us how much of His Word we do already carry within us and to what extent we would have established His order in our hearts.
 
If we face challenges and don’t know how to deal with it and don’t receive a word of revelation in that situation, then we should look at what the Holy Spirit has already structured as divine order in us, so that we apply the truth of God in our lives which has been established. Periods of drought are destined by God to make us strong and secure in Him and to show us what fruits of the Spirit we are already bringing forth (cf. James 1:2-4 i.c.w. Jeremiah 17:8).
 
James 1:2-4:
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
 
Jeremiah 17:8:
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.”
 
It is Jesus Christ who is just in phases of challenge, as the power that makes us strong (cf. 2 Corinthians 12:10).
 
2 Corinthians 12:10:
10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
 
Relocation or Change of Structure
 
Where we feel like a dry riverbed and say to God: “We cannot do anything God!”, He says to us: “You are such a wonderful riverbed. You have such beautiful, high river banks.” By this statement He wants to let us know that we are able to carry His deep revelations coming from His heights.
 
Elijah, too, was commissioned by God to go to a brook in the time of the drought, which later dried up, so that the condition or structure of the brook released the Word of God in order to let him move to another structure (Note: to the sea – to Zarephath near Sidon=> lies on the Mediterranean Sea), which still carried water (Note: salt water) even in spite of the drought (cf.1 Kings 17:2-3.7-9a).
 
1 Kings 17:2-3.7-9a:
2 Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah: 3 “Leave here, turn eastward and hide in the Kerith Ravine, east of the Jordan. …
7 Some time later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land.
8 Then the word of the Lord came to him: 9a “Go at once to Zarephath in the region of Sidon and stay there …
 
Elijah had not moved only to another location, but also to a different body of water which carried a new kind of water. He went from the brook to the sea and from sweet water to salt water, which is related to the message of holiness, the depths and the full measure of God (cf. Isaiah 40:12a i.c.w. Mark 9:49-50; Colossians 4:6).
 
Isaiah 40:12a:
12a Who has measured the waters (Note: sea) in the hollow of his hand, ...?
 
Mark 9:49-50:
49 Everyone will be salted with fire.
50 “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it salty again? Have salt among yourselves, and be at peace with each other.”
 
Colossians 4:6:
6 Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.
 
The relocation of Elijah means that he tasted something different than the things he had received from God before.
 
The Sweet and the Salty, The Spirit of Elijah and the Resurrected Sons
 
Sweetness is associated with revelation (cf. 1 Samuel 14:29) and salt is associated with spice, representing holiness and truth (cf. Mark 9:49-50 i.c.w. Colossians 4:6).
 
Elijah got equipped in his spirit at the Mediterranean Sea to enter into a confrontation on Mount Carmel with the false prophets of Baal and Asherah. There God answered him with fire (cf. 1 Kings 18:19-40).
 
The ‘salt water’ also even made Elijah so bold to ask a widow who was also a mother, during the drought to give him food and water first (cf. 1 Kings 17:10.13).
 
1 Kings 17:10.13:
10 So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, “Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?” …
13 Elijah said to her, “Don’t be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son.
 
Furthermore, Elijah pointed out to the widow with his statement that if she first invested into his prophetic anointing, she would experience supernatural care or rather multiplication in her life. This would comfort her in all of her loss (Note: she lost her husband) and during the time of drought (cf. Matthew 10:41).
 
Matthew 10:41:
41 Whoever welcomes a prophet as a prophet will receive a prophet’s reward, and whoever welcomes a righteous person as a righteous person will receive a righteous person’s reward.
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,
 
Daniel Glimm
