During a particular moment in time, I was caught up in a world of the naturally unseen. It is a realm of mystique and wonder.

I saw myself being transported to a place of unnatural proportions. I call it "God's own tabernacle of the Heavenlies."

The Presence was powerful; I was being lifted beyond my own imagination, and there I was suddenly standing on a surface filled with an atmosphere of grace and power.

The Making of Heavenly Armor

Directly before me was a huge, black onyx pillar; I was amazed at the beauty of it. The black was a color of black not known to me before, so I became very curious. The Spirit directed me to look at the base of the pillar, where my eyes became fixed with fascination. My spirit became excited and fearful at the same time. A holy fear had entered me. I saw an archway filled with amber colored light. This light was illuminating from the archway. Instantly I was inside this archway.

My eyes were being transfixed on the events taking place before me. I was standing in a room of what appeared to be a factory. Ahead of me was a fire with huge bellows being moved above it. There were several strong figures working. They had on white tunics and dark black belts. Their arms were massive, their skin amber in color, but their height was not grand at all—these beings were rather stout. They were humble and exceedingly powerful, yet moved with such grace.

The Presence that brought me there by the Spirit was on my left side. As I turned my head to the right, I saw a shield just leaning on an object near the surface of this awesome place. Instantly the shield was upon my own chest and was glittering like it was made of diamonds.

Then one of the stout beings came to me with a sword he had drawn out of the fire. He motioned to me to open my left hand. He placed in my hand that sword and took measurements of my hand, and then went back to the fire where the bellows were moving; He never said a word to me.

As I looked at the fire, I saw something that permitted my eyes to look further. I was seeing the outside of the pillar. What I had perceived as a solid pillar, was now a transparent shelter. Standing on the outside of that pillar was an army of bright, powerful armor. It had every weapon needed to win a war. More armor than any man could count. The armor was standing at attention. In my mind I was wondering, "Why are so many pieces of armor there?"

The Armor of God

The Presence that was my escort began to tell me this was the very armor that GOD had given man in the book of Ephesians 6, starting at verse 10:

"Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

"Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the Gospel of peace.

"In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

"Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the Gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should."

I asked, "Why is all this armor just standing there?"

I was then told, "This is physical armor, not just a spiritual one. This is the armor that the saints have not put on, yet. It is designed exclusively for My children in battle. It is theirs and theirs alone. No two are alike. Each person has been fitted for this armor to PROTECT them for the tasks I have for them."

I asked, "Why did we not know this before?"

He said, "It is in the very Word you read, but you have not had the revelations of it. I am opening up revelatory realms of My hiding places and many will begin to see this heavenly armor."

The Spiritual and Physical Armor of God

As I began to inquire of this "Godly armor," I wondered one great thing: If it was physical, how can we get it to earth? How is it possible? What is the method?

Then I looked again and I saw an amazing thing. This armor was standing at attention, in ranks and file. It was unmovable. It was strong, it was fierce, it was shining. Then I began to weep, for I knew instantly what it was—what the Spirit was conveying to me. The physical armor is the unity of the Church, established in the heavens before the world began—it is brilliant! It is strong and it is fierce.

It is still being created daily in the forgers' workshop of Heaven with revelations and creative avenues for prosperity, for helps, and for each other, preferring one another over self, and promotion of the Kingdom of Heaven in such a manner that we can believe the Scripture in Daniel 2, verse 44:

"In the time of those kings, the God of Heaven will set up a Kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will it be left to another people. It will crush all those kingdoms and bring them to an end, but it will itself endure forever."

Yes, it is the armor of the spiritual and physical, fitly joined as one. It is the Body of Christ's Believers of Spirit and Truth, each knowing what they are destined for; each working together to gather in the lost, dying, broken, maimed, fearful and rejected ones. And it is the armor of GOD—the extension of His holy hand, bearing justice and righteousness.

The Church, moving as ONE, clothed in Heaven's armor, is the physical side MOVING His Kingdom—being more than conquerors—for two halves make a WHOLE ARMOR.

Prophets, the Heroes of Tomorrow

Prophets. They are the villains of today and the heroes of tomorrow. They do predict the future, but even more importantly, they deal with the present as it pertains to the future, not the future as it pertains to the present.

Prophets prophesy.

Prophecy is the voice that God has lent to the silent agony, a voice to the plundered poor, to the profane riches of the world. He sustains us not by bread alone but by the words that proceed out of His mouth.

The "other Door"

Over the past few years, I have been driven by the Spirit of the Holy God to look into God's "other door," if you wish. I found myself seeing all kinds of miracles, not divine or supernatural, but rather miracles in the Earth, the soil, and the creatures of the sea. I gazed into this treasure-filled room and realized that my prophetic gift was not necessarily to predict the future only, but to save the future. After prophesying a number of times over the past several years about various cures coming from the Earth, fish, dolphins, etc., I found that my discourse was not in vain, and actually quite scriptural, to my relief. Read 2 Kings 4:38-41.

Elisha is with the sons of the prophets and had instructed his servant to "put on the large pot and boil stew for the sons of the prophets." They gathered herbs and found a wild vine and gathered from it a lapful of wild gourds. A gourd is a typically large fleshy fruit with a hard skin. They sliced them into the pot of stew and as they began to eat, they suddenly realized that there was death in the pot.

Instead of being nourished, they were eating poison and instead of Elisha calling 911, he confronted the circumstance with a solution. He never prayed for divine healing, but instead he said, "Bring me some flour" and he put it into the pot and… there was nothing harmful left in the pot. God showed Elisha where to combat or negate the poison in the pot.

I got excited as I read this and realized that he had created a formula to combat the death and poison, and I believe that this is part and parcel of the prophetic mantle. I believe we have entered into this era again and this aspect of prophetic insight is about to be restored to the world.

The Earth and it`s hidden Treasures

Earth. We live on it, feed off it, are nurtured by it and basically, we are alive because of this big round ball, and yet some people have no expectations from it other than disasters and judgment. I speak of a large percentage of Charismatic Christians, or those with extreme religious persuasions. If we show the slightest interest in the preservation, upkeep or nurturing of the Earth, we are labeled as "new age believers," whatever that's supposed to mean. The Earth is home to millions of species, including humans, and is the only place in the universe where life is known to exist.

Since the very moment that life appeared on its surface, Earth's biosphere has significantly altered the atmosphere and other abiotic conditions on the planet, enabling the proliferation of aerobic organisms, as well as the formation of the ozone layer, which together with the Earth's magnetic field, blocks harmful radiation, permitting life on land. Most importantly is the fact that Earth is the third planet from the Sun and is the largest of the terrestrial planets in the Solar System, in diameter, mass and density.

Dominion over the Earth

I love Earth. I have great expectations from it and according to my Gospel, I am expected to fill the Earth, have dominion over ALL of it, subdue it, have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and every living thing that moves on the Earth. How do you have dominion over fish? To take a net and catch fish, or a gun and shoot a bird is NOT having dominion over them. If I follow Christ and how He dealt with the Earth and all it's moving parts, I realize that the dominion that God was speaking about was for our betterment and to use in combat.

Most people can't even imagine that mankind would have this power but it's the truth. Can a fish bring healing? Apparently, it can. Fish oil is derived from the tissues of oily fish. Fish oil is now recommended for a healthy diet because it contains the omega-3 fatty acids and various acids that reduce inflammation throughout the body. Oddly enough, fish do not actually produce omega-3 acids, but instead they accumulate them by consuming micro-algae that produce these fatty acids. Even these fish, that we obtain this beneficial medicine from, play their part in "subduing" other fish like mackerel, lake trout, flounder and salmon, all in God's original pronouncement of "dominion."

In September 2005, a study from the Louisiana State University found that fish oil assisted in protecting the brain from cognitive problems associated with Alzheimer's disease. A study from the Orygen Research Centre in Melbourne, Australia suggests that omega-3 fatty acids could also help prevent or delay the onset of schizophrenia.

There is more Insight!

My point is that the living creatures of the Earth have more inside of them than a delicious meal. Over the past 3 years, I have been prophesying about the fact that there would be radical cures for Alzheimer's disease, brain disorders, various forms of cancer, Aids and other crippling diseases. Coupled with these prophetic statements were puzzling things like, "look to the sea, the whales, dolphins, etc." God was sharing with me the fact that I was to reveal the deep secrets of His original plan, which is for us to TAKE dominion and subdue. Jesus used this power to assist in the payment of taxes. Instead of the fish being a meal, it was now a completely different instrument - a mini bank. Read what happened, dear warriors; "...Jesus said to Peter, 'Go to the lake and throw out your line. Take the first fish you catch; open its mouth and you will find a silver coin. Take it to the officials and give it to them for my tax and yours.'" I enjoy reading this because you will notice that Peter was the one who threw his line out for the fish and it was Peter's taxes that were taken care of — no one else's. Many of my prophetic words have been about the Earth yielding its produce to us, as opposed to God dropping it from Heaven. Recently in Houston, Texas, God uttered something through my mouth regarding a fascinating healing secret. Because I went ahead and prophesied it, something that has been uncovered will now be discovered.

"And they shall say, 'do not touch this plant, it is poisonous, it contains a deadly poison.' And God said, they shall say, 'you cannot eat that, you cannot consume it.' But that which once brought death by consumption will actually bring life and energy, says the Spirit of God. For a plant, for it shall come from a soil, that a thing that would kill the human being, in a tree, God said so it shall bring a cure to many cancers, says the Spirit of God."

Why would I tell you this?

Prophets, prophesy!

For it is time for the prophets to get above all of these fears and all of these commandments that they give. My prophets must begin to prophesy the cures that will come to the human bodies. My prophets must prophesy the cures that must come. For God said, did I not tell you to go and cleanse the leper? There is leprosy out there.

Alzheimer's disease is leprosy, says the Spirit of God, I command you to cleanse the lepers. And therefore the prophets will prophesy that from the Earth shall come healings and it shall begin to manifest even though some of those have already happened, the next year I will show you great things because a revival of healing from the Earth shall take place, says the Lord. A revival of the healing from the earth shall take place! Now berries, these are berries, berries - poisonous - shall bring healing.

Berries

Berries? Yes, berries. Could it be that simple? Think about penicillin. On September 28, 1928, Dr. Fleming was at his laboratory in the basement of St. Mary's Hospital in London, where he noticed a halo of inhibition of bacterial growth around a contaminant blue-green mold and concluded that the mold was releasing a substance that was inhibiting bacterial growth. It was the Penicillium mold. Today there is family that came from Penicillin; ampicillin, flucloxacillin, diclosacillin and methicillin. So when various strains of infections emerged, other forms of penicillin were developed. I am trying to show you that one discovery can do more than simply cure one disease; it can also develop and combat other emerging forces. Why we find it strange that God would be directing me, and other prophets in the Kingdom of Heaven, to speak to the Earth and the sky, is incomprehensible. Jesus spoke to the wind and the water and it obeyed.

Water is for the purpose of drinking to quench thirst and has many healing agencies in it. Of all things, nobody expected Christ to turn it into wine for another purpose altogether - a wedding celebration! Today, scientists have not only suggested, but also proven, that red wine has healing agencies. Although excessive alcohol consumption has adverse health effects, epidemiological studies have consistently demonstrated that moderate consumption of wine is statistically associated with a reduced risk of death due to cardiovascular events such as heart failure. Red wine contains polyphenols, and these are particularly protective against cardiovascular disease. A chemical in red wine called resveratrol has been shown to have both cardio-protective and chemo-protective effects.

One study concluded that wine made from the Cabernet Sauvignon grape reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Again, excessive consumption has adverse health and mental effects and the reason for my writing this is to make a very valid point. The church excessively condemns certain "sins," while blatantly excusing other "sins." Gluttony and obesity are ignored, while healthy consumption of wine is condemned.

Jesus knew what He was doing when He turned the water into wine. He would never feed human beings something that was in fact sinful and harmful. The problem is not what the soil produces, but our addictions and lack of control. Is eating bread with mayonnaise wrong? NO. The wrong happens when greed takes over and instead of enjoying one slice with a small portion, you eat five thick slices. I think you understand.

Discover the Hidden Treasures!

Jesus Christ spoke to the tree, to the wind and water and spoke of signs in the skies. He took a few loaves of bread and multiplied them to feed thousands. My conviction is that the Earth has all that we need for healing, energy and our prosperity, but it is waiting to uncover its treasures. We, as a people, have the power of the Word and His Spirit to guide us to discover these hidden treasures.

I am excited about the future of America and the many Nations who are pressing forward and demanding a demonstration of power and dominion from the believers. Now is the time. It's time for us to exercise dominion over the earth and discover the secrets He has placed in it from the beginning of creation. We must begin to offer solutions rather than allowing ourselves to remain a part of the problem.

As God's prophets, we must not only see the unseen, but also guide a generation to the hidden cures and solutions He has already provided for us, even within creation. It's great to pray for someone and see God miraculously heal their body, but how much greater is it, when He shares a secret that leads to a scientific discovery or a medical breakthrough that completely eliminates an incurable disease so that mankind never has to be effected by it again? These kinds of Kingdom breakthroughs are of infinite value, fulfilling God's command to take authority and dominion over the earth, and establishing new standards of quality of life that would have been impossible otherwise.

Don't let anyone rob you of these great promises He has given us. This year we are anticipating many great marvels to come from the sea, the soil, the living creatures and the skies that will impact medical science, energy, and many other areas of the world we live in. Let us together enjoy what the Spring season is soon to bring.
