The Rage Over Divine Birth

Yesterday I kept thinking, “the spirit realm is on steroids right now!” I was praying into it and asking the Lord to reveal and unmask what it is at the root after I seemingly out of no where was faced with an onslaught of discouragement and personal attacks against the heart. Everything in me wanted to give up … Today I’m reminded of the season we are in, a time we remember the birth of our Savior. The spirit realm was raging then too…

“NOW WHEN Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men [astrologers] from the east came to Jerusalem, asking, Where is He Who has been born King of the Jews? For we have seen His star in the east at its rising and have come to worship Him. [Num. 24:17; Jer. 23:5; Zech. 9:9.] When Herod the king heard this, he was disturbed and troubled, and the whole of Jerusalem with him. So he called together all the chief priests and learned men (scribes) of the people and anxiously asked them where the Christ was to be born. They replied to him, In Bethlehem of Judea, for so it is written by the prophet: And you Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, you are not in any way least or insignificant among the chief cities of Judah; for from you shall come a Ruler (Leader) Who will govern and shepherd My people Israel. [Mic. 5:2.] Then Herod sent for the wise men [astrologers] secretly, and accurately to the last point ascertained from them the time of the appearing of the star [that is, how long the star had made itself visible since its rising in the east]. Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, Go and search for the Child carefully and diligently, and when you have found Him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship Him. When they had listened to the king, they went their way, and behold, the star which had been seen in the east in its rising went before them until it came and stood over the place where the young Child was. When they saw the star, they were thrilled with ecstatic joy. And on going into the house, they saw the Child with Mary His mother, and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then opening their treasure bags, they presented to Him gifts–gold and frankincense and myrrh. And receiving an answer to their asking, they were divinely instructed and warned in a dream not to go back to Herod; so they departed to their own country by a different way. Now after they had gone, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, Get up! [Tenderly] take unto you the young Child and His mother and flee to Egypt; and remain there till I tell you [otherwise], for Herod intends to search for the Child in order to destroy Him. And having risen, he took the Child and His mother by night and withdrew to Egypt And remained there until Herod’s death. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, Out of Egypt have I called My Son. [Hos. 11:1.] Then Herod, when he realized that he had been misled by the wise men, was furiously enraged, and he sent and put to death all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that territory who were two years old and under, reckoning according to the date which he had investigated diligently and had learned exactly from the wise men. Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah: A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be comforted, because they were no more. [Jer. 31:15.] But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt And said, Rise, [tenderly] take unto you the Child and His mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the Child’s life are dead. Then he awoke and arose and [tenderly] took the Child and His mother and came into the land of Israel. But because he heard that Archelaus was ruling over Judea in the place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. And being divinely warned in a dream, he withdrew to the region of Galilee. He went and dwelt in a town called Nazareth, so that what was spoken through the prophets might be fulfilled: He shall be called a Nazarene [Branch, Separated One]. [Isa. 11:1.]” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭2‬:‭1‬-‭23‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

There is raging when there is divine birthing. We see this especially in the birth of Jesus, and so it was the case with many in the Bible when ever the Lord’s plans and purposes were to be manifested in the earth realm through His chosen servants.

However though there be much “noise” in the spirit realm, this is the hour to lean in and listen to the voice of the Lord with great attention and detail. Listen to the warnings like the wise men, obey the dreams like Joseph, fulfill the Word of the Lord in humility.

There are long overdue birthings because this is a cycle. You may not want to hear that, but I’ve written something similar for the last couple of years as I have seen this on repeat. The best we can do is love the Lord well, listen and obey. It takes agreement to deliver quietly and in safety; pray for wisdom, and pray for the hearing, seeing, and obedient Joseph’s to rise and protect the baby. Many plans are delayed and/or are not birthed because symbolically there are “unseeing / unhearing Joseph’s” who did not believe in Mary’s miraculous conception to begin with, or they choose not listen to the instructions of the Lord. Both Mary and Joseph suffered unjust attacks of accusation and scorn, they had reason to give up if not for the Word of the Lord made known to them – thankfully they did not consider themselves wise in their own eyes and even through trial and persecution were obedient. We all need to be like the obedient Joseph’s and Mary’s who are lead by the Word of the Lord (they were lead by the Lord’s voice in angelic visitations and dreams) rather than preferring other voices of influence or authority like a Herod. The wise men, and or “wisdom” didn’t obey and return to Herod as he had requested, for wisdom recognized the plan to kill the dream and purpose of God and therefore returned to their own land (preserving inheritance).

The Lord will not birth an illegitimate child, it is contrary to His nature, for He came to be a Father to the fatherless. He is looking for both mother’s and father’s, as He can not separate Himself from unity and covenant. While the Lord watches over His Word to perform it, He works through yielded vessels who partner with Him. It is a sobering and responsible place to be.

We are covered by grace to carry the promise to fulfillment, however it is humility, wisdom and obedience that preserve inheritance.

In this season we fight low – we put our armor on, cloaked over in humility. With all of our trust and in faith, we set the humble King before us, to worship, adore, and bow before Him and pray, “Your will be done, Your Kingdom come, on earth as it is in Heaven”.

“Now I, Paul, myself am pleading with you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ—who in presence am lowly among you, but being absent am bold toward you. But I beg you that when I am present I may not be bold with that confidence by which I intend to be bold against some, who think of us as if we walked according to the flesh. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.” ‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The Conquering Bride

“He who is able to hear, let him listen to and heed what the Spirit says to the assemblies (churches). To him who overcomes (conquers), I will give to eat of the manna that is hidden, and I will give him a white stone with a new name engraved on the stone, which no one knows or understands except he who receives it. [Ps. 78:24; Isa. 62:2.]”Revelation‬ ‭2‬:‭17‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

The prophets weren’t lying when they said “war at the threshold”, though we have The Good News, Jesus IS our Victory. Through the spirit of revelation and also the seven spirits of God, this is the overcomers hour! He will reveal to you the strategies of the enemy so you can overcome! But you must seek Him in order to find Him.

There are keys to unlock doors, but it will not be so obvious. There are words of knowledge written on the spiritual keys to your deliverance / delivery, but they are hidden in the manna (Jesus the Bread of Life) and in your seeking Him, you will understand what it revealed and written on the stone. It will be through personal intention of seeking the Lord and waiting upon Him, not striving. We must individually overcome and we will in unity corporately overcome.

Please take this very seriously. The Lord showed me in a recent dream that for some in this war at the threshold of the new door that there has been an agreement, battle, or confusion transpiring with a spirit of death / and or murder. It is a very cunning spirit that is attempting to gain your agreement to cut short your destiny by trying to deceive you into thinking this is the Lord’s will for your life. What you are agreeing with has never mattered more, as wrong agreements could cut short your very life here on earth. Then in the dream He showed me all the little children who would be orphaned or wouldn’t be birthed without the spiritual mother’s and fathers.

The Lord also showed me through a vision recently a rectangular block of a rainbow as if it were a pathway of a street ascending in the heavens upward. Then I saw clouds underneath, then He reminded me of a belt I owned as a young child that I LOVED. The front clasp was a rainbow with two clouds on either side. The pathway to promise is through the cloud. In other words, another visual encouragement that we must go through and remain in His presence as it through Him and in Him we receive and inherit the promise. The pathway is found through entering through His Presence (remember the Old Testament Bread of Presence can literally be translated Bread of Face) and on the pathway of promises we find hidden manna (perhaps another facet of His brilliant Face)! Belted or girded with the Spirit of Truth, which is The Way, we can not miss Him! The conquering Bride will ascend with the Lord and He will lead us to Life!

In the new era the foundations of our faith are being relaid with the fullness of God. As we make Jesus the Chief cornerstone once again, His fullness will be revealed and experienced. This is the seven spirits of God –

  1. The Spirit of Lord
  2. The Spirit of the Wisdom
  3. The Spirit of Understanding
  4. The Spirit of Counsel
  5. The Spirit of Power
  6. The Spirit of Knowledge
  7. The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord

“Then a Shoot (the Messiah) will spring from the stock of Jesse [David’s father], And a Branch from his roots will bear fruit. And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him— The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and strength, The Spirit of knowledge and of the [reverential and obedient] fear of the Lord— And He will delight in the fear of the Lord, And He will not judge by what His eyes see, Nor make decisions by what His ears hear; But with righteousness and justice He will judge the poor, And decide with fairness for the downtrodden of the earth; And He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, And with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked. And righteousness will be the belt around His loins, And faithfulness the belt around His waist.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭11‬:‭1‬-‭5‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“None of the rulers of this age recognized and understood this wisdom; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; but just as it is written [in Scripture], “Things which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, who obey Him, and who gratefully recognize the benefits that He has bestowed].” For God has unveiled them and revealed them to us through the [Holy] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things [diligently], even [sounding and measuring] the [profound] depths of God [the divine counsels and things far beyond human understanding]. For what person knows the thoughts and motives of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So also no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the [Holy] Spirit who is from God, so that we may know and understand the [wonderful] things freely given to us by God.” ‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬-‭12‬ ‭AMP‬‬

TO BE ONE

This past Sunday June 4th while in worship at the beginning of church service I had one of the most beautiful and liberating encounters with the Lord. Almost immediately after I closed my eyes in worship I had a vision of the feet of Jesus on the cross. Though I’ve seen this many times before, I couldn’t stand long, He is worthy of anything and everything I could bring in worship to Him. There was such tangible adoration, His worthiness and holiness were overwhelming, and I just wanted to love on Him. As I found myself bowing before Him with my face to the floor my body was now engaged in an encounter. It felt as though I were laying prostrate and I could feel my body sinking into the earth. My body was dissipating lower than ground level and the feeling of “nothingness” was the most freeing part of this encounter. I then had another vision and I was now a pool of liquid gold before the Lord. I had already been ‘weepy’ though now I was laughing and crying. As a seer since childhood, I can honestly write this encounter was more impactful than the angels I’ve seen or spoken with, more than the power and manifestations experienced, yes being laid before the Lord as pool of liquid was complete liberation.

To die is gain.

“For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭21‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“My true life is the Anointed One, and dying means gaining more of him.”‭‭ Philippians‬ ‭1‬:‭21‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Though “the art of dying” seems to be my lifelong message and I’ve written or spoken about it more times than I can count – this was different. As proved to be so in the immediate intense opposition I faced after. Why the onslaught? Because the enemy doesn’t want you to die, he wants you to have self remaining for himself. He hates the yielded Bride because of what is accomplished in unity – unity throughout the Body, and especially unity with the Lord Himself. He hates Oneness because he wants to “be the one”. The accuser can not multiply, he only knows subtraction though craftily understands the power of agreement, so he incessantly accuses the Bride hoping she gives way with her agreement.

“The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

We increase and are empowered in our divine union with Christ. “In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [draw your strength from Him and be empowered through your union with Him] and in the power of His [boundless] might.”
‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6‬:‭10‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Earthly power is found in our will.
Heavenly power is found in surrender.

There are many moving parts to explaining spiritual warfare – though in short I had to ask the Lord immediately leaving church what was going on because how could I have such a powerful encounter only to be “wailed on” all through service. There are a few things I am not going to get into, but the main beast in the field up close and personal was Leviathan. The serpent twisting, distorting, and manipulating the truth. (I posted on this Sunday on my FB page).

We all have different “beasts” and “giants” to conquer as we continue to move forward in destiny and in our promised lands. But this is the spirit after the Bride right now. If the enemy can distract you, he can get your attention, giving him too much attention he can talk with you, if he can talk with you he can deceive you, if he can deceive you he can get your agreement and with your agreement he has your will, your “power”. A few months back I had a prophetic dream where the Lord was showing me this same visual image of an enormous sea serpent that was aiming to wipe out humanity by deception. If the enemy has your agreement he has your will power, and eventually you succumb or surrender to him.

We make understanding our life on the earth so complicated. There is a tug of war for your soul and it never stops until we graduate into eternity. This does not mean we are incessantly caught up in warfare, because that is the distraction for many believers. But there are times, especially now as we are in a quickly changing and “crossing over” season we need to be on guard.

What now? What to do when things such as this occur? Seek the Lord with all of your heart. Seek Him until you find Him! Seek Him until peace floods your being, seek Him and do not stop until His presence is found! “Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the Lord, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭29‬:‭12‬-‭14‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Of course He never leaves, but I am writing of the connection of Oneness. You may say I am one with Him, we had communion yesterday, or last week or even this morning… you may say you talk to Him everyday but are you One with Him? Especially in the days we are heading into we need His breath to be our breath, this is vital union that Paul wrote about! It’s day by day and moment by moment, living in a place of union – the state of I am in You Lord, and You are in me.

As I pondered with the Lord the vision of liquid gold, I was never happier to be nothing. I felt impressed that now I could be molded into something – whatever He would desire. The Holy Spirit brought wedding bands to mind. As I’ve thought about this vision often over the last three days, I continue to think about the wedding bands with emphasis, so last night I began to research how they are made. There are two methods: hammer and anvil method and casting method.

In the hammer and anvil method the gold is softened and beaten into shape, it does not become liquid. The yellow gold is usually heated to around 1250 F followed by water quenching – “water quenching” is after you fire the metal and dip it in water to prevent it from becoming brittle and breaking while increasing strength and hardness (durability).

Gold casting – “becoming liquid gold” requires a hotter temperature of 1627 F to 2006 F to melt the gold depending on the type of gold used, and if there are any alloy’s. It is then poured directly into a mold.

Traditionally when two people enter marriage to become one in covenant they purchase each other wedding bands. The man gives the woman an engagement ring as a promise most often, and he purchases a wedding band for the wife to put on her finger during the ceremony. The woman purchases her soon to be Bridegroom his wedding band to also be placed on his finger during the ceremony.

As the Bridegroom, Jesus has already given us the promise and we are His betrothed. He also has purchased His Bride by offering His life as the perfect sacrifice for eternal Oneness with Him. We will receive the gold band He has sized for us at the wedding ceremony. You see He already poured Himself out for us, He already made the mold. The offering of our Bridegroom’s life we receive in full when in Heaven (complete Oneness for eternity), symbolically when He places the gold band on our finger (that He made by pouring out His life as liquid gold). Jesus is inviting us to follow His costly example that we may offer Him gold refined in fire. Our costly offering is our life cast into the mold He has made for us – for Himself. The liquid gold we become is for Him, its symbolic of the ring He forms for Himself. I was asking the Lord recently how do you “present to Yourself” a pure Bride? Now whether or not we actually wear rings in Heaven is not the point, symbolically it is when we fit the same mold He made with His emptied life and in turn offer our lives back to Him in this way, that He would present to Himself a pure and spotless Bride.

I believe the two methods of making gold bands are relevant to our transfiguration process. I think many of us have gone through softening by fire, the beating, forming and heating, and polishing process (hammer and anvil method), and we have have been water quenched by baptism. I believe many of us are beautiful gold wedding bands. Some with more intricate details than others. What was interesting in my research was that to re-melt a filigree, intricate or more detailed band of gold it would require more heat. For me, I love the details, I love intricacies.
But I suggest in our transfiguration process and in our becoming like Him from glory to glory, the more intense the process and heat becomes. Maturity requires surrender. And we go from maturity to maturity and surrender to surrender. The risk is greater. The ask is “more”, though by this juncture His increase Has become more in us so that ironically it doesn’t feel like a greater ask because there’s less of us. This is when we move to the phase of casting. Will we yield and become liquid gold? Though it is all to become like Him and for Him even at this juncture, is it worth it all? Will you yield even the beauty He has already made in you? Will you give Him the gold band that you have already become? This yielding requires a greater intensity of heat than the last formation, but is He worthy? Yes He is! This is the beautiful symbolism to becoming One with our Bridegroom King. We are continually “water quenched” because we are One with the Word Himself (we are cleansed by the washing of the water of the Word).

Do you see why the enemy is so jealous of you? Why he wants to distract you? The beautiful art of death and yielding is the most imposed on because he understands the power of it.

To die is gain.

Though I had this vision I don’t count myself as to have already attained it. I pray so. May this be the posture of Your Bride, Lord, help us continually give ourselves to you.

“He must increase, but I must decrease.” ‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

This is the passage the Lord led me to after service on Sunday. This is the beautiful description of laying down one’s life for another in union just as Christ has done for us.


“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. “For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.” This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.” Ephesians‬ ‭5‬:‭25‬-‭33‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

To The Warriors

Some are in the wrestle of their lives to see the promises of the Lord fulfilled. For me it reaches far beyond a personal promise, for I desire and long to see the Lord dwell continually with a people here on earth; the restoration of Eden. The resistance to this fulfillment is beyond anything I’ve wrestled before, though as an encouragement we must remain faithful and remind ourselves of the large picture at hand especially when we find ourselves serving a militant mission with little to no support in the natural. We see things we didn’t ask to see, experience things we didn’t know we were signing up for, such is the way of the bond-servant of The Commander of the army of the Lord.

Big wrestle for big breakthrough. Certainly I would have despaired had I not believed I would see the goodness of the Lord … the Lord reminded me last week of the verse in Matthew 11:12, “And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize–a share in the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion].” ‭AMPC‬‬

We may fall weak, but the Lord is strong!
THERE SHALL BE ‘the breaking in of the Kingdom which makes its way in spite of all resistance’!

The zeal and fire of the Lord is rising in His servants, those He is raising to rule alongside Him, and they will take by force what belongs to Him when necessary.

“Teach me Your way, O Lord, And lead me on a level path Because of my enemies [who lie in wait]. Do not give me up to the will of my adversaries, For false witnesses have come against me; They breathe out violence. I would have despaired had I not believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord In the land of the living. Wait for and confidently expect the Lord; Be strong and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for and confidently expect the Lord.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭27‬:‭11‬-‭14‬ ‭

“After that I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse [appeared]! The One Who was riding it is called Faithful (Trustworthy, Loyal, Incorruptible, Steady) and True, and He passes judgment and wages war in righteousness (holiness, justice, and uprightness). [Ezek. 1:1.] His eyes [blaze] like a flame of fire, and on His head are many kingly crowns (diadems); and He has a title (name) inscribed which He alone knows or can understand. [Dan. 10:6.] He is dressed in a robe dyed by dipping in blood, and the title by which He is called is The Word of God. And the troops of heaven, clothed in fine linen, dazzling and clean, followed Him on white horses. From His mouth goes forth a sharp sword with which He can smite (afflict, strike) the nations; and He will shepherd and control them with a staff (scepter, rod) of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath and indignation of God the All-Ruler (the Almighty, the Omnipotent). [Ps. 2:9.] And on His garment (robe) and on His thigh He has a name (title) inscribed, king of kings and Lord of Lords. [Deut. 10:17; Dan. 2:47.]” Revelation‬ ‭19‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

Do not be afraid to let out your war cry, for when you do, you will breathe out the fire of the Lord! May the zeal for His House consume you!

He is worthy to be worshiped in purity, without mixture, in Spirit and in Truth.

I should not think it is the unbeliever who resists revival inasmuch as it is the religious person.

It is the control, jealously, pride and manipulation that we have continued to tolerate in our own Houses that are blockers to the move of the Spirit.

“But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray, so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols. I gave her time to repent [to change her inner self and her sinful way of thinking], but she has no desire to repent of her immorality and refuses to do so.” Revelation 2:20,21

I pray we would become a Body who does not know or tolerate “the depths of Satan” (Rev 2:24); a Body who is not afraid to address and cut off that which chokes the breath from the Lord’s Church.

[I presume the graphics I created may offend some, but there is a reason why art was once used to reform culture, lead by Christians at that].

The Coming Antichrist and Sword

A Warning Dream and Vision

This morning 1.18.23 I had a warning dream that parallels with a message the Lord has already been forming, that I have been waiting to release. In the dream the Antichrist was just divorced by the true covenant Bride. The true Bride would call him a Pharisee and immediately Jezebel brought him another bride. This secondary bride was in preparation for marriage to her true Bridegroom, though was brought to the Antichrist prematurely through control, manipulation, and money.

The Antichrist’s profession was an “actor” and his hearts desires were attached to performance and producing (illegitimately). Producing in and of itself isn’t wrong, it was the heart and motive in this Antichrist, in other words symbolically what he professed was a pretend. He shifted the blame on the true covenant Bride and accused her for calling him a Pharisee though this was the truth. The covenant Bride’s name in the dream means “pure”, “a bodily purging”, from the Greek “pure, clear of dirt, clean, spotless; open, free; clear of shame or guilt; purified”. The Bridegroom’s name in the dream symbolizes a type of Christ and means “one who heals”, “save, we pray”. Additionally the secondary bride that was brought in was still in process while she was preparing for her true Bridegroom, she represented many in the body of Christ. She was taken away PREMATURELY by Jezebel who posed as a “mother” to her and brought her before this false bridegroom to an arranged marriage. While this second bride was in the middle of preparing, she was led away only wearing the sheer slip to her bridal gown that revealed her nakedness underneath as she had no undergarments on. Her gown was very low cut and even she knew it revealed too much, she was waiting to be properly clothed, knowing that somehow the longer she waited the right clothing would be made available.

After Jezebel took her from this place of preparation and before she was taken to the arranged marriage she spoke to other women in silly embarrassment that she was exposed, however she did not know where she was being led, so the cost of her embarrassment was not high. It was too late to go back to get her gown and she was totally exposed. This represents her heart, as a deep v-neck reveals the heart, though she could not even hide at this point her shame or nakedness. In the next scene Jezebel cut her a deal on rent, making it seem like because she was “blood” she was favored, making the cost of her living next to nothing (devaluing her life). Then in the following scene she sat across from this Antichrist, and could not even look at him at first, saddened by what she had lost. I sensed she did not want this to happen, though felt out of control (underneath Jezebels thumb).. She knew this wasn’t her true bridegroom and one she loved, though felt forced into the compromised relationship deceived into thinking her betrothed Bridegroom wouldn’t come for her.

This Antichrist bridegroom was not humble, though posed as being such through a victim mentality – a narcissist, gas lighter, etc. His face appeared beautiful and bright and his eyes were light, but I knew his eyes were meant to be brown representing humility and his face represented a false Angel of light. He was likened to me through a person I know, and represented a likeness of him and his name; but was not in true covenant like the person in reality is.

This is the most important part of this message / interpretation: the Antichrist will be a man of religion controlled by Jezebel. I repeat, the Antichrist will be raised to be a man of religion. He will replicate healing, and the works of Jesus, he will have “life” and charisma, and he will believe in himself. He will accuse the true Bride yet try to pose as Holy One himself. He will aim to make a name for himself, He will look like Christ though his character will be contrary. He will seem humble to many, when it is actually a victim spirit dancing with pride and narcissism . It will be very difficult to determine the difference until his soul is revealed.

The Church’s coming war will be with the covenant keepers of the spirit of religion and the spirit of Jezebel. The enemy is aware of the word that says a house divided cannot stand. He has blasphemed the Name of the Lord, while Jezebel is in bed with her son, the Antichrist. The unholy of unholy unions indeed! The enemy is bringing division to the true Bride to thwart her union with Christ. And at the same time the Hand of the Lord is also dividing and exposing those who are hiding in His house whose allegiance is to the Antichrist; the posers, players and actors.

Another repeated message I’ve continued to share, though this is what the Lord is highlighting; The great separation that is coming is within the Global Bride. Sheep and goats both call upon the name of the Lord. Wheat and tares look exactly alike until they are broken open. This is the season of the Threshing Floor, a time for the true covenant Bride to war for her own, plunder what was stolen, working together with the Lord while He separates and deals with the impostors. “Arise and thresh, O Daughter of Zion! For I will make your horn iron And I will make your hoofs bronze; That you may beat many peoples in pieces [trampling down your enemies], That you may devote to the Lord their unjust gain (pagan possessions) And their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.” Micah 4:13 AMP. The greatest wealth to the Lord here on this earth is one’s soul. Our hearts are the wealth of nations!

Pray for mercy, that our eyes be not deceived! As a global Body we are coming near an intersection and tipping point where once we have crossed we will not be able to return back. The enemies plan is to intercept the Bride’s destiny by alluring her away before she is prepared. The enemy prowls like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour, and his target is the unprepared, immature Bride! Chose this day whom you will serve. You will be in covenant with an idol or in covenant with the Creator. There is a line. You must choose one side or the other.

You will wait for the promised coming Bridegroom or you will bow to Jezebel and her rule. You will forfeit destiny for profit. You will exchange intimacy for looks and appearance. You will bow to idols or bow to the Lord. No more protective covering, no more holy covenant relationship, no freedom in the Spirit. Naked and exposed and forsaken you will be. Choose! You must choose whom you will serve this day!

The Coming Storm and Sword

On Friday December, 30 2022 I was asking the Lord if He had anything else to say to me for the coming year. I was standing alone outside in my uncle’s backyard overlooking many acres of woods. Then out from a dramatic scene of very low hovering storm clouds in the natural I saw in the Spirit a giant sword come down from the cloud, and I heard, “joints and marrow”. Immediately I knew this meant yet another separation was underway as Hebrews 4:12 was quickened to me. “For the word of God is living and active and full of power [making it operative, energizing, and effective]. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating as far as the division of the soul and spirit [the completeness of a person], and of both joints and marrow [the deepest parts of our nature], exposing and judging the very thoughts and intentions of the heart.” Hebrews 4:12 AMP.

In concurrence with what I personally experienced as a forerunner last year, what the Lord has already spoken to me about storms, I believe we will see physical storms including shortages this coming year that will effect us in the natural. However, there is nothing to fear because your reality will be determined by your mind-set. Out of the midst of those storms, which are The Lord, we will see His sword judging the very thoughts and attitudes of our heart. He is completely disjointing what does not belong in and on His Body and it will feel like the most furious storm, however it will be the Lord. He would rather grow a new leg than defile the whole body – so to speak. He is exposing the marrow, which is the very inside of the bone. Symbolically He is exposing and testing our greatest strength or weakness, many of you will be tested beyond what you think you can endure, and His grace will be sufficient for you, you will not break if you remain in Him and deeply abide in His presence. This is both on a corporate and personal level. He is exposing the thoughts and intentions of the heart to prepare us for His Holy habitation.

The Lord would say, “You want revival? Then make my House holy!”. The Lord does not abide in mixture. Who we truly are in our heart is being exposed, no one can hide from the Hand of the Lord. We must first declare He is holy, before His glory will fill the earth. The burning is for cleansing and new growth, the winds for change and separation, the fires for purification – that we may be so honored to see and behold the Lord. “And one called out to another, saying, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord of hosts; The whole earth is filled with His glory.” And the foundations of the thresholds trembled at the voice of him who called out, and the temple was filling with smoke. Then I said, “Woe is me! For I am ruined, Because I am a man of [ceremonially] unclean lips, And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.”” Isaiah 6:3-5 AMP. He is making us holy so we may be able to stand before Him, pure and blameless. We are being threshed (cracked open) for the threshold (point of entrance) of His glory. “And the Lord spoke to the man (seventh angel) clothed in linen and said, “Go between the whirling wheels under the cherubim; fill your hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim and scatter them over the city.” And he entered as I watched. Now the cherubim were standing on the right side of the temple when the man entered; and a cloud [the Shekinah glory of God] filled the inner courtyard. Then the glory and brilliance of the Lord moved upward from the cherubim to [rest over] the threshold of the temple; and the temple was filled with the cloud and the courtyard was filled with the brightness of the Lord’s glory.”Ezekiel 10:2-4 AMP.

All the prophetic words and “insights” for the new year regardless of the messenger are meaningless if you do not KNOW Him; the Christ, Himself the TRUE BRIDEGROOM KING.

He is a PERSON.

Jesus is not a platform.
He is not a formula.
He is not a means of transport.
He is not a product.
He is NOT FOR SALE.

He is not to be “trafficked”. Slavery exists with the highest bid in the bedroom, popularly known as Human Trafficking, where destiny’s are sold like the immature bride in preparation, prearranged for rendezvous and revenue. Though have you considered Jesus trafficking? Do we not use Him just the same? Forsaking true intimacy for profit. Are we like-minded in Christ or are we “anti” (opposite of) Christ?

He is a person.
He has a name.
He has a voice.

This is my prophetic word for the new year. Steward what the Lord gave you last year, the year before and before that. Do not merely consume, but chew thoroughly. Milk is for consumption and meat is for chewing. It is time to grow up Body of Christ lest we fall prey to the devices of the enemy. Divorce the idols before they hunt you like prey. “Concerning this we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull and sluggish in [your spiritual] hearing and disinclined to listen. For though by this time you ought to be teachers [because of the time you have had to learn these truths], you actually need someone to teach you again the elementary principles of God’s word [from the beginning], and you have come to be continually in need of milk, not solid food. For everyone who lives on milk is [doctrinally inexperienced and] unskilled in the word of righteousness, since he is a spiritual infant. But solid food is for the [spiritually] mature, whose senses are trained by practice to distinguish between what is morally good and what is evil.” Hebrews 5:11-14 AMP

John the Baptist had one message on repeat; “repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand”. This prophetic call was founded in Beloved Identity, as he had the revelation of Jesus as Bridegroom King. This one message was “good enough” to list John as one of the greatest prophets, the forerunner of Christ. “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist;” Matthew 11:11.

This is the same message needed to prepare the way for our coming King’s return. Change your mind and come up higher. Return to your first love. The Bridegroom is coming again, will you be ready?

The Spirit of the Lord said to me, “Just as the Lord is coming quickly for His Bride, so the enemy is coming quickly for his.” The enemy desires to sift you like wheat because he is after your soul. The enemy is patient in his waiting on the threshing floor, mirroring the ways of the Lord. So as it was where Ruth made her heart vulnerable to Boaz on the threshing floor, symbolically the enemy will take the separated tare from the wheat as his own. The name Boaz means “quickly” a type of Christ who has redeemed His Bride and will come quickly for her, “like a thief in the night”, and so the enemy waits to make covenant with those who in a different application are vulnerable, and separated from the Lord.

“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!” Deuteronomy 30:19 NLT

“Likewise, you younger men [of lesser rank and experience], be subject to your elders [seek their counsel]; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another [tie on the servant’s apron], for God is opposed to the proud [the disdainful, the presumptuous, and He defeats them], but He gives grace to the humble. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God [set aside self-righteous pride], so that He may exalt you [to a place of honor in His service] at the appropriate time, casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. Be sober [well balanced and self-disciplined], be alert and cautious at all times. That enemy of yours, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion [fiercely hungry], seeking someone to devour. But resist him, be firm in your faith [against his attack—rooted, established, immovable], knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being experienced by your brothers and sisters throughout the world. [You do not suffer alone.] After you have suffered for a little while, the God of all grace [who imparts His blessing and favor], who called you to His own eternal glory in Christ, will Himself complete, confirm, strengthen, and establish you [making you what you ought to be].” 1 Peter 5:5-10 AMP.

All hands on deck, gowns and boots ready! We are entering a greater time of militancy and must assist the Lord. As we are becoming for Him, we also must lift others up into growth and maturity. As lovers and fighters, we must now engage in working for the Lord!

And in heeding to my own words, here is the Word of the Lord I released for 2022 on First Love https://ablazeglobalproductions.com/2021/12/31/restore-the-spark-a-call-to-return-to-first-love/

The Window is Closing

God is never to blame for a promise that has not come to pass. I feel a warning in my spirit very strongly, the Lord has been done and is done with carnival acts in the Church. He has given ample warning, time, and correction. In this next season (as in NOW) if you want what He promised you must be done with the carnal nonsense. That means people who you once trusted will no longer be part of the picture. Appearances are deceiving, the Lord has been showing me discerning the subtleties of the Spirit is the only pathway to truth. Narrow is the gate and few will find it. The window is closing, and He will find a Home to dwell, not just visit; your obedience is everything in this moment.

Return To Me (Again)

We are coming into a time when the truth will be seen “rightly” and it will be as the saying goes, “truth is stranger than fiction”.

The deceptive layer blinding the eyes and hearts of many is the real fiction, and while we have been comfortable to rebuke truth and hold fiction in its place – there will soon be no denying the false realities we have eagerly embraced for generations.

The arrogance of man will be humbled. The lofty thoughts will be made to bow low. The winds will sift throughout all the earth, lifting up and tearing down. Many will say, “Is this evil, or is this good?” And the Lord says yes it is both.

Repent (change your thinking) Repent (change your mind) – the glory clouds are coming to weigh the hearts and the mind. And as Elijah left this earth so will his spirit return, so look for the winds and the hurricanes as they will be a sign.

Return to me, return to me, hearts turn to the Father. Return to me, return to me and drink this last cup of water.

‬ ““Go up through the rows of Jerusalem’s vineyards and destroy [them], But do not completely destroy everything. Strip away her branches and the tendrils [of her vines], For they are not the Lord’s. For the house of Israel and the house of Judah Have dealt very treacherously (faithlessly) with Me,” declares the Lord. They have lied about and denied the Lord By saying, “It is not He [who speaks through His prophets]; Misfortune and evil shall not come on us, Nor will we see war or famine. The prophets are like the wind [their prophecy will not come to pass], And the word [of God] is not in them. In this manner it will be done to them [as they prophesied, not to us].” Therefore, thus says the Lord God of hosts, “Because you [people] have spoken this word, Behold, I am making My words a fire in your mouth [Jeremiah] And this people wood, and My words will consume them. Behold, I am bringing a nation against you from far away, O house of Israel,” says the Lord. “It is a mighty and enduring nation, It is an ancient nation, A nation whose language you do not know, Whose words you do not comprehend. Their quiver is [filled with the dead] like an open grave; They are all mighty men [heroes of their nation]. They will consume your harvest and [eat up] your bread; They will consume your sons and your daughters; They will consume your flocks and your herds; They will consume your vines and your fig trees. With the sword they will break down and demolish your fortified cities in which you trust. “But even in those days,” says the Lord, “I will not totally destroy you. It will come about when your people say, ‘Why has the Lord our God done all these things to us?’ then you shall answer them, ‘As you have abandoned (rejected) Me,’ [says the Lord,] ‘and have served strange and foreign gods in your land, so you will serve strangers in a land that is not yours.’”
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭5:10-19‬ ‭AMP‬‬

““Behold, I am going to send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and terrible day of the Lord. He will turn the hearts of the fathers to their children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers [a reconciliation produced by repentance], so that I will not come and strike the land with a curse [of complete destruction].””
‭‭Malachi‬ ‭4:5-6‬ ‭AMP‬‬

When the Church becomes a house of exclusivity, it becomes home to self-made kingdoms.

When the Church becomes a house of exclusivity, it becomes home to self-made kingdoms. This unfortunately, perpetuates idolatry “unaware”.

Many are familiar with the passage from Isaiah 22 known as The Valley Of Vision, as it is often quoted from verse 22, “And the key of the house of David I will lay upon his shoulder; he shall open and no one shall shut, he shall shut and no one shall open.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭22:22‬ ‭AMPC‬‬.

However, if you read the chapter in it’s entirety, this is a changing of the guard verse. Earlier in the chapter the leaders in Jerusalem fled with the King, they saw breaches in wall of the city of David and tore down houses to provide themselves materials to expand the city wall. Additionally, Shebna who was a steward and in charge of the royal household was building himself a tomb worthy of a king. The Lord refers to Shebna as the shame of his masters house for his lack of humility and assuming a position that he wasn’t entitled to. Furthermore, he was attempting to affix himself in the foundation. “Come, go to this [contemptible] steward and treasurer, to Shebna, who is over the house [but who is presumptuous enough to be building himself a tomb among those of the mighty, a tomb worthy of a king], and say to him, What business have you here? And whom have you entombed here, that you have the right to hew out for yourself a tomb here? He hews out a sepulcher for himself on the height! He carves out a dwelling for himself in the rock!” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭22:15-16‬ ‭AMPC‬‬. The foundations are at risk, says the Lord!

Not all that is being built is from the Lord, and it may seem right to man, even those who are in leadership but the Lord will have His way. It’s better to yield to the Lord now than have it stripped away by Him. As written above, we may be taking from the security and provision of others (tearing down homes) to build what seems to be a stronger wall for the protection of all and/or ‘the greater good’, yet it is damaging to those within those fortified walls, aka The Body.

“Behold, the Lord will hurl you away violently, O you strong man; yes, He will take tight hold of you and He will surely cover you [with shame]. He will surely roll you up in a bundle [Shebna] and toss you like a ball into a large country; there you will die and there will be your splendid chariots, you disgrace to your master’s house! And I will thrust you from your office, and from your station will you be pulled down. And in that day I will call My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah. And I will clothe him with your robe and will bind your girdle on him and will commit your authority to his hand; he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. And the key of the house of David I will lay upon his shoulder; he shall open and no one shall shut, he shall shut and no one shall open. And I will fasten him like a peg or nail in a firm place; and he will become a throne of honor and glory to his father’s house.” Isaiah‬ ‭22:17-23‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

OCCUPY

Now is the time to OCCUPY the space you’ve been given – lest it be overtaken by a different authority. I was given a warning dream last night, and it was very clear we need to steward our spiritual authority and what the Lord has given to us; promises, gifts, inheritance, spiritual land, etc. Ultimately, it’s a stewarding of His voice! Our callings and future life are dependent upon it.

This is a season of Love and War!

“And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.” Luke‬ ‭19:13‬ ‭KJV‬‬
