Portals, Ancient Gates, Doors

I believe understanding the things of God is vital to walking in the fullness of what God has given us in the new covenant through Jesus Christ. I by no means have full understanding but I do have access to the Father in heaven and so do you.

So why talk about portals?
The church body, for the most part, has no or little knowledge of their existence and does not recognize their significance in how God has used portals in the events of man and continues to do so today.

When we sing the verse in Psalm 24:7 about the gates or ancient doors we have no idea what we are singing about but it sounds good to our ears? Oh saints of God I hope that somehow I may be able to reveal the beauty of what God is saying to us through this verse.

“Lift up your heads, O gates,And be lifted up O ancient doors,That the King of glory may come in!” Ps. 24:7

What are ancient door, ancient gates?
Ancient gates or doors are portals of access established by God from the third heaven to earth, unobstructed by demonic interference in which angels travel from heaven and back again, provisions delivered, transportation, translation and revelation are given to man.

In Daniel 10:13 Daniel is informed that the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding (standing opposite) the angel for twenty one days the Michael one of the chief princes (angels) came to help fight through the portal in the demonic land of Babylon to give Daniel understanding.

In the book of Genesis, chapter 28, verses 10-17 the story of Jacob’s dream is recorded. In verse 12 ; “He had a dream, and behold, a ladder was set on the earth with its top reaching to heaven; and behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.” Gen. 28:12

In verse 13 God is standing at the top of the ladder.
“And behold, the LORD stood above it and said, "I am the LORD, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie, I will give it to you and to your descendants.”

These verses are a wonderful account of how God uses reveals a portal in a dream to man a prophesy out Jacob’s destiny to him. Once in praise and worship at our church I saw a portal open above me that looked like a tornado and at the top of the swirling cloud was this face smiling and waving back at me. It only lasted a few seconds but it was a gate or ancient door that opened up for me.

Mt. Horeb
God established a portal from the third heaven to Mt. Horeb. Elijah was instructed to go from under a juniper tree to Mt. Horeb to see and hear what God had to show him. Sometimes it is necessary to from where you are to another place to hear or experience God as we ourselves to upon occasion. Wise me still travel to see Him!

“So He said, "Go forth and stand on the mountain before the LORD." And behold, the LORD was passing by! And a great and strong wind was rending the mountains and breaking in pieces the rocks before the LORD; {but} the LORD {was} not in the wind. And after the wind an earthquake, {but} the LORD {was} not in the earthquake.” 1 Kings 19:11

Proverbs 8:34 teaches that a man will be blessed who sits and waits and listens at the Lord’s gate."Blessed is the man who listens to me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at my doorposts.
Lot
In Genesis 19:1 Lot is waiting at the gate of Sodom when two angels appear to him. In the ancient world the gate of the city was not only a place of egress but where meetings of great importance occurred. And there came two angels to Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing [them] rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground;

In Genesis 18:21 the Lord states that He will go down to investigate or scout it out for Himself to see this evil which is stinking up the heavens. “will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto me; and if not, I will know.”
The “go down” happens when the angles appear at the gate or ancient door of the city.

Portals for Provision
Psalm 78:23-25 God opened doors of heaven and fed the Hebrew in the desert food of angels.
“Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven, And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.”

Portals Over Geographical Locations
Habakkuk

In the second chapter of Habakkuk we see the prophet faithful to watch to see what the Lord will say to him and that what the Lord speaks to write it down. Habakkuk is waiting at the place where he faithfully goes to pray and wait upon the Lord. Often God will establish a portal over a geographical location after long prayer and supplication has been made by a faithful servant of God.

“I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved. And the LORD answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.” Hab. 2:1-2
In November of 2003 after moving from the Dallas area to central Texas (the wilderness) I felt compelled by God to begin desperately praying for a well to be established in our home. Read my blog titled “When God Fills the Well” Walking In the Supernatural With God » Blog Archive » When God Fills the Well . God did establish a portal into our home that day and since then our home hasn’t been the same. At times angels are seen coming and going into the earth on some kind secret assignments as well as to bring us revelation, anointing, our prayers (http://seerofgod.com/archives/15 ) and a sundry of things as God so desires.

The Lord has promised as long as we remain at our current location the portal will be established. When we leave the house the portal will be removed. Portals can be established in geographical places and some are known today in the earth such as over Jerusalem. Many Christians who travel there report being flooded with revelation of the things of God during supernatural experiences such as dreams, visions, transportations back and forward in time are not uncommon.

Many Christians who visit John Wesley (1703 –1791) home in England tell that when they enter in his prayer closet that they experience the presence of God.

Portals Established Over Individuals
Jesus

Portals can also be established over a person life as we find over Jesus’ life.
“And He *said to him, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see the heavens opened and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man." Jn. 1:51
“Now when all the people were baptized, Jesus was also baptized, and while He was praying, heaven was opened,” Lk. 3:21

While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!" Mat. 17:5
After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove {and} lighting on Him, and behold, a voice out of the heavens said, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well-pleased." Mat. 3:16-17

Apostle John
While John was in exile on the isle of Patmos a portal opened and he began to receive great mysteries of things to come. This is a great example of a portal, door or ancient gate opening between the third heaven and how God uses them to establish revelation of His mysteries to man.

“After these things I looked, and behold, a door {standing} open in heaven, and the first voice which I had heard, like {the sound} of a trumpet speaking with me, said, "Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after these things." Rev 4:1

“And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, "Come up here." Then they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched them.” Rev. 11:12
And I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and He who sat on it {is} called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and wages war. Rev. 19:11

Maria Woodworth-Etter
There have been several ministries throughout history where God established a portal over the person and when they ministered revival s with signs and wonders occurred with the presence of God filling the church or even the region such as Maria Woodworth-Etter (1844–1924).

Today’s Relevance
In Zechariah 3, Joshua the high priest clothed in filthy garments standing before an angel and the angel saying, “Remove the filthy garments from him.” The angel declares that the iniquity has been taken away from Joshua and he is now clothed in festival garments and then a clean turban is placed upon his head.

Then in Zech. 3:7 Joshua is given charge to the Lord’s court and free access to those standing there. "Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'If you will walk in My ways and if you will perform My service, then you will also govern My house and also have charge of My courts, and I will grant you free access among these who are standing {here.} 'Now listen, Joshua the high priest, you and your friends who are sitting in front of you--indeed they are men who are a symbol, for behold, I am going to bring in My servant the Branch (Jesus). Zech. 3:7-8

Heavenly Access
Christians have been granted access through Jesus Christ to come boldly before the throne of God. Paul wrote about the access to the Father by Jesus in Ephesians, “for through Him we both have our access in one Spirit to the Father.” Eph 2:18 and “in whom we have boldness and confident access through faith in Him.” Eph. 3:12

It was only a few weeks ago while reading Daniel 12:3-4 that the Holy Spirit flashed inside my spirit understanding of a hidden mystery in these two verses. The context of Daniel 12 is dealing with the times which we are in now. The book was written for our times and as Daniel 12:9 Daniel is told to go his way for the words are sealed up until the end time. In verse 3 speaks of those Christians who have insight and those who will lead many to righteousness will shine brightly like expanse of the heavens and the stars forever.

"Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. "But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase." Dan. 12:3-4

How Did They Get Insight?
In Daniel 12:4 the mystery is revealed, “many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase." The back and forth speaks of believers experiencing open gates, ancient doors or portals between the third heaven and earth. Much insight in the last days will come from angels ascending to believers or believers ascending to heaven and thus knowledge will increase.

The context of these two verses is that in the last days God will raise up believers who will bring much revelatory insight to the body of Christ and the world for the gathering in of the saints and lost souls. Much of their personal revelation will be revealed when the gates of heaven open to them and they are taught what is holding back revivals from happening in churches, cities, regions of the earth. There will be some which carry a heavy anointing upon their lives that wherever they travel revival will break out and a great harvest of end-time souls will be won to God.

Even by these experiences biblical understanding of the scriptures will come bring clarity to the meaning of the verses in which will bring correction to errant doctrines in the church today for those who are willing to accept truth. Indeed some saints have are already experiencing these open heaven encounters and write about them today.

Paul Caught Up Through a Portal
Paul experienced great revelation by the same experience as spoken of by the prophet Daniel 12:3-4. Such inexpressible words that Paul heard that he knew he was not permitted to speak.
“I know a man in Christ who fourteen years ago--whether in the body I do not know, or out of the body I do not know, God knows--such a man was caught up to the third heaven. And I know how such a man--whether in the body or apart from the body I do not know, God knows was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which a man is not permitted to speak.” 2Cor. 12:2-4

In Summary
If you read the verses of Psalm 24:7 speaks of the King coming in or coming down through and ancient gate or door and as Daniel 12:3-4 records “back and forth” of believers in third heaven experiences “Lift up your heads, O gates, And be lifted up, O ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in! Ps. 24:7

In Psalm 118:19-20 the scriptures speak of the believer entering in ;“Open to me the gates of righteousness; I shall enter through them, I shall give thanks to the LORD. This is the gate of the LORD; The righteous will enter through it.” Ps. 118:19-20

I strongly express as believes we don’t seek portals or gates, but we seek God and it is by the continuing seeking of Him and being faithful to His house that portals may be established at God’s discretion for His purpose and glory. Our greatest weapon against all the works of the enemy is to increase in the anointing in our lives and obtain truth in the knowledge of who God is. We must know Him, His nature, His character and see the merging of both Word and Spirit in our lives and our churches so we can truly go out and demonstrate the Kingdom of God in the earth.

Blessing of Truth to you!

Three Point Nine Zero Years To Go

In the early morning about 6:00 AM on January 2, 2005, I was still lying in bed, and an angel of the Lord was dispatched to me. I heard in an announcing voice say, “Three point nine years to go!"

The voice wasn’t the Father, it wasn’t Jesus nor Holy Spirit, it was an angel. I’d never heard before then or since that time, anyone counting years like the angel had just stated them to me. Immediately I got up out of bed, went to my computer and counted out three point nine years. Interestingly, the date I came up with was November 25, 2008Now the years have come and gone, and allot of things have changed in the Earth. You’ll never know how many times I have pondered over this statement over the years. I have quietly listened over and over to see if the Lord would reveal anything else about this date.

During this time period, another angel was dispatched to me early one morning; I saw him in the Spirit, he was walking up the alley behind our house, and was pushing a buggy like might be used for delivering packages. The angel was dressed as a postman, in an old, wool uniform. He stopped his buggy, reached in the bag and selected a manila envelope, he turned and came through the back gate, walked up to my back door and knocked. When I opened the door, he handed me the manila envelope and said, “Special delivery!”

I woke up, got up out of bed, I went downstairs to my secret place to seek what the Father had just delivered to me. I opened my Bible to Daniel 8:19 where He said, "Behold, I am going to let you know what will occur at the final period of the indignation, for {it} pertains to the appointed time of the end.”

Immediately, I understood how to map out the Leviticus feasts and unravel the mystery of the timeline give in Daniel. (I will release that revelation in another blog in the near future.) The main thing I want to share in this blog is that Jesus said, "For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. Matt. 24:37.”

When studying the timeline of the flood, the Bible says the flood began on the seventeenth day of the second month. Since this is pre-levitical, this is the secular calendar and not the Jewish religious calendar. This occurs in the month or Heshvan, which begins this year, and is the 15th November in the Julian calendar.

This past Wednesday morning, October 22, 2008, again while lying in bed, I heard in the Spirit one “click.” It sounded like a latch had closed, I awoke and rose up in bed and listened in the natural but heard nothing but the stillness of the night.

I was very puzzled and began to seek the Father as to what it meant. Later during the day, I felt like I should look at the countdown calendar to see if this “click” could be of any significance to the three point nine year countdown.

There is was, thirty-six days to go until November 25, 2008! A tenth of a year is 36 days, the click was the last click in the countdown the angel had given me. Also, October 22, 2008 was the first day after the last day of the Feast of Booths. Therefore, the “click” I heard in the Spirit and 36 days later will conclude the three point nine year countdown.

I’ve wondered about this over the years, and told only a handful of people and now we are so close to something, which will initiate natural and spiritual events spoken in Daniel.

In watching the news, one can’t help but notice that the world economy is in a desperate death spiral, what could be next? There are so many things we could speculate about, but the most likely could be that Israel attacks Iran. Think about it, if Obama is elected president, Israel will certainly feel pressure to do something before he takes office. Currently the Israeli government is in chaos and the world economy is poised to crash. Iran continues to threaten Israel, the United Kingdom and the United States, as well as the many terrorists would like nothing better than to strike the free world countries.

In the near future I will begin to share with you other mysteries that God has given me for these times. Up until now, the only delay has been due to the church’s unwillingness to listen. When I’m released by the Father, I will show you the mysteries in the scriptures of the timeline of Christ’s return.

Keeping watching, be vigilant, pray always, and make preparation as the Bride of Christ, for we are entering into dangerous times indeed, times like the Earth has never known.

In Christ Service,

Bro. Bill

When God Tells You To Go

Today, September 26, 2008 is exactly five years since I resigned my position with a communication company in Dallas, Texas. In June of 2005, the Lord gave me a dream and the dream forever changed my course in my walk with the Lord.

Dream:
I was sitting in my office at work when an angel came and stood looking over the high cubicle wall. He was tall but had no facial features other than a green Gumby looking shaped head. The angel was wearing a green blazer and was also holding a green blazer by his left hand, draped over his left shoulder so I could see it.
The angel said, “It’s time to go!” I said, “Am I being fired?” The angel said, “It’s time to go!” I said, “What about all my stuff?” He said, “You don’t need that anymore.” I got up from my desk and walk down a long hallway with the angel to my left staring at the blazer knowing that it represented a mantel. The hallway was the same path that security walked employees out as they were being laid off. The angel escorted me out the door and the dream ended.

My wife and I knew this dream confirmed other words and dreams from Holy Spirit and that we were to quit our jobs and move back home where we are currently living.

We both had great paying jobs, 5 bedroom, and three car garage home on the lake situated in a very quiet secluded area in the city. It would seem like allot to give up but we just wanted to follow God’s plan for our lives no matter what we had to give up. I knew I had to pursue Him in this journey to obtain the mantel.

We put our home on the market and waited for it to sell. We waited and waited but nothing came of it. As September rolled around I reread a prophecy that a man of God had given me and it said that if I would step out in faith God would come in behind us like never before. So we decided to jump out in faith even without our home being sold. No matter how much faith or how clearly you have heard God those house payments keep coming in month after month.

On September, 26, 2005 I left my job, work place ministry and some friends, home church, city, lifestyle and everything that we loved to follow Him. God doesn’t ask everyone to do this because few are willing to go the far with Him. It takes an extreme measure of faith and honor of God to follow Him wherever He asks us to go.

Before moving to our new location we had been supernaturally yoked with our new Pastors. They shared many stories where they had left great wealth, home, city and all to go where He ask them. It truly helped strengthen our faith and resolve because it seemed to us that they had been through much worse than what we were facing.

When you are yoked with a ministry you will go through much of the same things they went through just as Elisha followed Elijah through all those places. Elisha followed Elijah to Gilgal, Bethel, Jericho and finally Jordan.

Gilgal means “rolling away our reproach”, Bethel, “making our approach to God, Jericho, “fighting the battle for God” and Jordan, “entering into death in Christ”.

This is the path you will certainly take if you’re going to follow God’s plan for your life.

We lived four years and 11 months on some savings and virtually no income what so ever. Our house didn’t sell for 19 months. Living for God and pursuing Him with all we had and nineteen months we made those big payments. God did sustain us through it and spiritually we have been transformed in so many ways that we don’t really relate to our old selves back in Egypt.

My advice to anyone who thinks they are to move or to do something for God is being totally sure and unequivocally confident that you have heard God in the matter and not your soul. I believe a missed key to following God’s plan is the failure of Christian to journal their dreams, visions and words they hear from the Father. It’s impossible to remember in detail all what you are hearing and seeing to any great degree. In fact if you will be faithful to journal God will give you more and more things because you are honoring Him and listening carefully to Him. Journaling will be the subject of one of my blogs soon perhaps.

Now we’re both employed, working together with an awesome company, awesome boss in a work place ministry, mentoring drug and alcohol addicts with love and the word of God. We have income once again and are beginning to get our life back. But now we’re different, so different!
We look back on the five years in the wilderness as a holy and precious time with God as He led us to a slow death in Him but at the same time life in Christ.

God is faithful! If you will continue to be faithful to Him and His house, He will prove Himself faithful to you and your house!
Go and be bless in Him,

JODIE'S DREAM ABOUT BRAD

I was walking into a house I had never been in before but was somehow familiar...As soon as I opened the front door and stepped inside I heard Brad laugh and it startled me! I started toward the door I thought I heard him in and he walked passed the door way with a platter in his hands. As he walked by he was smiling and talking to someone sitting at a table. I wanted to go in, but couldn't. I thought inside,"But I want to talk to him! I want him to know I'm here!" He looked up from the table toward me and said, "In time, but not right now." He turned and kept talking to whoever he was visiting with...

Bill's Dream About Brad

I walked up to a door that was shut. I knew Brad was in there. I pushed open the door a slight bit and peeked in. I saw Brad lying on the left side of the room in a hospital bed with his head and feet pointed away from us. Someone came and placed a mattress that just fit the doorway opening so we couldn't go in or see much. I did see a bright light that was coming in through an east facing window. It shone on Brad brightly. We tried to see him two or three more times but he was gone.

Wendy’s Dream About Brad

Early this morning I dreamed that my phone rang. I looked at it and it said "Pook calling". (Which was Brad's name in my phone). I stared at it in disbelief & started trembling. I answered & said "Hello?" Brad said, "Hey Baby, it's me!" I was completely stunned & said "Wow. Hi." He said, "Listen, I only have a minute but I wanted to tell you that it's glorious here!! No words could ever describe it!" I was still in such shock. I said, "Really?!" He said, "Oh yes...and Baby, it's true. When you get here, there is a schooling. Some people get here and they think they know truth, but they don't." Then he said with such excitement, "But, when I got here.. I KNEW! I knew truth! What I knew WAS TRUE! Don't ever wonder, Babe, because it's TRUE!" I said, "How did you call me?!" He laughed & said, "I have no idea. They just said you had sent me a couple of text messages and that it would be good for you to hear from me." (Twice at moments I missed Brad so much I sent him a text just to see his name in my inbox) I said, "I love you so much & I miss you!" He said, "I love you too...and I'll see you soon! I have to go now." I said, "Ok." Then he said, "OH WAIT!" He chuckled like he was tickled about something & said, "Tell Mom..." and he started singing "The sun'll come out tomorrow..." As he sang it faded out until I couldn't hear him anymore.

New Realm

God is saying to us now...Step up, believe Me, use Faith to cloth yourself in righteous acts....and we are, we will, indeed it is a new realm in which we have entered so quietly, in secret, only known by those who are pursuing God...who's heart yearns for Him in the night and seeks Him during the day...a secret realm...where God is ushering His quick answers to our prayers...quick, faithful.

To answer and be available to our ever need...our care, inspire us to hope and to believe in Him more and more growing our faith like an avalanche rushing down a mountain devouring all obstacle to its path....completeness comes to us in the days ahead...the years, the next few will bring us to the place where we don't recognize our past failures, our past lives, our old faith...has been decimated by the new God faith that is ushered from our breath as we are marching to the days of Christ imminent return.

Casting down strongholds like match sticks....thrusting the sword of faith into the powers of the earth causing all our enemies to tremble...for we're not the same any more....we been transformed into warriors of the living God!

Powers and Principalities

In October of 2004, I was in an intense time of seeking God and was given a dream where I saw people in San Francisco starting a new political campaign. They were clamoring about making a banner and they had several hats they wanted to attach to the banner. One of the hats was a WW1 army helmet and one was a top hat like the old politicians used to wear, they wanted to split one of the hats and decided on the cutting the top hat in half. Afterwards they commented how good it looked after they cut it in half.

The WW1 helmet represents and old world warring power and the top hat represents a political movement. The top hat being cut in half means the political power was to be shared between the east and west coast but the warring power was kept in one piece.

Then I saw the political powers seated at a table in San Francisco facing across the entire span of the country as they were interviewing all the political leaders seated at a table in New York. Both tables had all the highest ranking political, government, judicial and religious leaders represented.

The position which was being interviewed for was for the police chief. They ask, “Who wants this power we are offering?” One by one the governor, mayor and police chief turned it down until it came to a man wearing a Pope’s hat (MITRE) and he said, “I want this power!”
He was asked do you really want this power or do you just want to come out here and eat in our fine restaurants? He responded, “I want this position.” I was amazed that all the others present had turned this down but the religious leader wanted this evil power at all cost.

Then I taken by the Spirit to the upstairs landing of our home and was caught in between the powers of the principalities of the West coast and the East coast offering this evil power. When I took one step in front of a window at the top of our landing, I was immediately being sucked in by the powerful force of incredible evil. It sounded like a raging jet engine and it tried to pull me into its evil grasp. I felt the sting of thousands of needle-like objects hitting my skin as I cried out to Jesus with all my strength! Then the jet engine revved up even harder, I couldn’t get free from it and began to lose my strength to even speak.

Inside of my being I was crying out “Jesus, Jesus” and prayed in the Spirit over and over again yet there was no one to help me. I felt strength leaving my body and I knew if it did, I would be consumed by this evil power. Suddenly, I was thrown back into my bed with a bounce by the Spirit, I was startled yet glad to be free from that evil force. I looked at the clock and it was 3:16 AM, I began to quote John 3:16 over and over again.

If this had not have been a God-given experience, I would have to classify it as a horrible nightmare but with God I know I’m safe and He will not do anything to harm me. I told my wife, “You never know when you lay down at night what the Spirit of the Lord has for you but you can rest in knowing that He is Sovereign and we can trust Him always.”

In 2004, Gavin Newsom, the mayor of San Francisco gained national attention in 2004 when he directed the city clerk to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples, and later that same year the California Supreme Court voided them. As recent as a few months ago, the California Supreme Court struck down the ban on gay marriages and the mayor quoted from the front of City Hall as a gay couple was married on June 16 of this year saying, “As California goes, so goes the nation!” Now the chant by many gay citizens in the streets of California is, “In all 50 states!”

Even before the official date of June 16, 2008, the governor of New York said that New York would honor the gay marriages in California. Truly they have been sucked into the power of this principality.

California has been the leader to this nation in trends, styles, laws, political issues, market place, media, movies, fashion and much more for many years and all of it is due to the principality, which rules over the region and wants to gain influences in all of America.

Please don’t think I’m gay bashing by any means, I promise you I am not and never will. I am not talking about gay issues here at all but the result of the evil spiritual influences that all mankind have been up against and how they work to gain influences at the highest level of our governments just as they have always ruled this world since the fall of Adam.

Pray for our nation, pray for our leaders, pray that the church will wake up and come out from among the influence of evil and do as the word says in Rev. 18:4 “I heard another voice from heaven, saying, "Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues.”

See scripture references:

Rom 8:38-39 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Eph. 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]. v. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Col. 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

Col 2:15 [And] having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.

Eph. 3:10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly [places] might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God,

God Is Waiting For You to Speak His Word

A few years ago while asleep, I found my spirit man sitting in a room in heaven. Directly in front of me was a large window and I could see the earth down below. I sensed Jesus was standing to my immediate right and slightly behind me.

I heard Jesus say, “See the problem” as I was directed to look upon the earth, He then said, “This is my word.” He began to declare His word over the problem. When Jesus would say, “See the problem” I didn’t see any problem when I looked out the window at the earth below. It soon became apparent I was in a training class and the instructor was Jesus Christ Himself.

As He spoke His words, everything in my spirit man was filled with the most powerful anointing I’d ever felt, and as soon as He finished speaking, without hesitation, I stood up, pointed at the earth and shouted, “And I release that into the earth!” Then I sat back down and the sequence was repeated all night long as Jesus would point out problems in the earth. He would declare His word over it and I would stand up and release it into the earth.

When I awoke the next morning, my wife asked me if I had experienced any dreams during the night as we do most mornings and I told her that it wasn’t a dream but I was sitting in a room in heaven with Jesus in some sort of heavenly school with Jesus.

The next night I found my spirit man back in heaven sitting in the same chair I had sat in the night before, I was again gazing out the window at the earth. Then I heard Him say, “See the problem” as my attention was focused on the earth below. He then said, “This is my word.” Again when He spoke His word, everything in my spirit man was filled with the most powerful anointing I’d ever felt. As soon as He finished speaking, without hesitation I would stand up and point at the earth and shout, “And I release that into the earth.”

This sequence was repeated all night just as it occurred during the first night.
On the third night I was once again sitting in the same chair, looking out the window towards earth. This time Jesus began to speak and my spirit man was filled with excitement as the “Living Word” spoke. I was about to jump up out of my chair and release what He said into the earth when I heard Him say, “I release that into the earth”.

This caught me off guard because the other two nights I had done all the releasing of His word. I turned to look back to where Jesus was and I saw Him in a cream colored robe walking away from me, and as He walked, He turned His head back towards me and said, “That one was for you.”

That ended three nights of one the most amazing encounters with Christ I’ve ever had. About a year later, while my wife and I were sitting on the patio of a Mexican restaurant, I heard Him say, “Now you do it.” I knew He was referring to the heavenly encounter I had experienced a year prior.

God wants us to recognize the problems in our life, family, church, city, region and world and find out what He says about it in His word and then release the word of God over situations in order to see dramatic change in the earth.

On another occasion about a year later, I received an email from a man who worked at the same company I used to work, the email was very inspiring and I sensed the anointing of the Holy Spirit as I read it. I was very blessed by his words of faith and support and I said, “Lord, bless everyone who prays for us,” Immediately, I heard the Father say, “With what?”

This response surprised me as what I had just said sounded holy, yet God’s response made me pause for a moment as I realized that God can’t do anything with just the word "blessed." Yes, it sounds holy to say, and we say it all the time when someone sneezes, or as we say farewell to someone, “bless you” or “be blessed,” but it doesn’t give God anything to work with. His word teaches us that we have already been blessed and by just saying, “Bless them” or “bless you” or any variable of these words, gives God nothing to work with in order to truly bless them. “Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ”. Eph 1:3

I began to form a prayer from Ephesians 1 where Paul was praying that we may receive a spirit of wisdom and revelation with understanding of God’s nature.

Eph 1:17-19 “That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of our understanding being enlightened; that we may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, And what [is] the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,”

He once spoke to me in His authoritative voice early one morning while I was in prayer and slowly said, “My people limit Me,”! He used the voice like you heard used in the movie Ten Commandments.

As you can imagine I didn’t move a muscle nor utter a word, the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and I was on a crash course in the matter. If you want to see your world change, then speak the word of God over every situation that concerns you and watch God get involved in an awesome way. The prophet Daniel was told by the angel in Daniel 9, “I have come for your words."

God is waiting for you to open your mouth and proclaim His word over situations! Do it today and you will see God’s mighty right arm extend in the earth and things will change and they will change in a big way.

I pray this gives you some wheels to run on and begin to grow in the dynamic use of God’s word to become a more effective Christian in your community and in the kingdom of God.

In Christ Service

When the Storms Come

So what is the truth about storms that come into our lives and how does God fit into these situations?

Its human nature that when a storm approaches, we want it to go around us or when we’re in the storm we want it to stop and be calm again like before the storm. God knows that the storms in life will cause us to grow in Him. It’s like the body builder lifting weights; it’s the resistance of the weight that is making him stronger and stronger each day he works out. And so it is with the storms that come in our life, as we stand and weather out the storms we get stronger and stronger.

Jesus taught us that there are two foundations to build upon, one is rock and the other is sand. He went on to say “And when the storms come, the house that is built on the rock will stand." There is a great emphasis on “when” the storms come, not “if” the storms come. "And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and {yet} it did not fall, for it had been founded upon the rock.” Mat. 7:25 Over a year ago, the Father gave me a revelation on one of His secrets dealing with the storms of life.

One morning in my quiet time I heard the Father say “I give you a three day fast.” That’s all He said and that was all I needed to hear, I immediately accepted the fast and began to notice that during this time, I was never hungry or cared about food. I didn’t have to avoid being around others when they were eating or cooking, it just didn’t bother me.

Exactly at high-noon on the second day, I was in meditation and I saw a vision of a beautiful nebulous which was pink ion color like one of those NASA images from the Hubbel telescope. I heard His voice say; “You are half-way there.” I knew this voice was speaking about the fast I was currently on, and by the clock and the calendar, I had indeed been fasting exactly one and one half days. I didn’t know why I was fasting but I knew at the end of the three days it would be revealed. This was a supernatural fast and as I said before, during the three days I didn’t get hungry or crave food even while my wife was cooking or eating her meals.

When I completed this fast, Holy Spirit gave me Psalms 107-23-31 and Matthew 8:23-28 and said, “They are the same event!” The, He said, “I also created the storm as well.”

“Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business on great waters; they have seen the works of the LORD, and His wonders in the deep. For He spoke and raised up a stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea. They rose up to the heavens, they went down to the depths; their soul melted away in {their} misery. They reeled and staggered like a drunken man, and were at their wits' end. Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and He brought them out of their distresses. He caused the storm to be still, so that the waves of the sea were hushed. Then they were glad because they were quiet, so He guided them to their desired haven”. Psalms 107:23-31

“And when He was entered into a ship, His disciples followed Him. And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but He was asleep. And his disciples came to [Him], and awoke Him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. And He saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then He arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. But the men marveled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him! And when He was come to the other side into the country of the Gergesenes”. Mat. 8:23-27

What is the Father saying here? He’s saying that while Jesus was asleep, Jesus spoke to the sea and Jesus called up the storm to be with its winds and rain that tossed the boat and caused the disciples such distress.

When you are asleep, your spirit man is awake; He’s always awake. I have many experiences while asleep where my spirit man is speaking forth the word, declaring in ways that I understand and that I don’t have the natural ability to perform. There have been times where I was sitting in a desk in a heavenly classroom, being taught secrets by Jesus all night without even remembering what was said the next morning. On two occasions my spirit man left my body to engage in spiritual warfare with various spirits in the earth. The bible has many stories where a particular person’s spirit man was awake and in ministry while asleep through a dream, a vision in the night or caught up in the spirit.

My wife and I were on a cruise and I experienced an occurrence. I had completed twelve weeks and was in the thirteenth week of a "Holy Ghost school" that the Lord had instructed me to do, in which I was to get up and be in quiet time from 3:00 -6:00 AM, 5 days a week.

I read the all the prophets in the Old Testament, prayed and then I would lie down and meditate the last thirty minutes of my allotted time. Now while on this cruise, during my sleep, I heard my spirit man declare, “You are the light of the world!” It had all the force of the Godhead behind that statement it seemed. Suddenly, in a flash, all the cabin lights came on in a brilliant display of power and light. We sat up in bed startled, blinded and with few words to say. I didn’t tell my wife until the next morning what really happened in the spirit when the lights came on.

What the Lord is teaching us here is that the storm which so frightened the disciples came to them by the power of God, not by Satan, as most people have been taught to believe. How can we can believe that Jesus calms the storms but not that He can cause the storms to blow in our lives to test our faith? Jesus said, “Why are you afraid, you of little faith?” It’s safe to say that God allows everything to come into our life except sin and sickness.
The disciples marveled, saying, “What kind of man is this, that even the winds and sea obey Him?”

Christian are living lives today in which they are trying to avoid the storms in life, and when they encounter them they want the storms to stop. We’ll stand up railing at the devil for this and for that, rebuking him thoroughly, when in fact, God has allowed the storm to blow into our life. Such storms show our frailty and make us turn to God in an amazing way, and during these events God allows us to be sculptured into something beautiful in His eyes. When your faith and will are being tested, know that there is a sculpture at work in your life. The sculpture may take the form of a person or even a group of people that God will use to chisel away all that doesn’t look like Jesus.

Some storms that come into your life may not have anything to do with you at all, but are about the other people involved. Once again God doesn’t bring sin or sin-related illness on anyone to teach us, but He will allow all manner of situations to come our way in different packages to teach us certain things.

I was in a situation a few years ago in which the company I was working was bought out by another company. Months before the new owner began to replace my management team with theirs, I knew my life was about to change in a really big way. I knew I was in trouble, I was heading into a storm and there wasn’t anything I could do about it.

I wanted to run, but I sensed God had some things He wanted to teach me. I knew I had to weather through the storm and learn now, the first time around the mountain, so I didn’t have to go around again and again. I am pleased to say I did learn what God wanted to teach me and in the process the Kingdom won a great victory in my obedience to stay in the storm and weather it out until it was over. It lasted about nine months but eventually, I was delivered safely to my destination, I made it to shore! I passed the test and I am a stronger, more stable, more effective Christian today because of it. I learned in a few months what many Christian never grasp hold of in a life time, for in the storm we press into God, and we cry out to survive.

An immature Christian only wants to get delivered from the storm, and as soon as he does, he soon goes right back to the way he was living before. The word says “My people perish because of lack of knowledge because they reject knowledge.” Hosea 4:6

There’s no short cut with God, if you quit at any phase in your walk and later come back to God, you will start right up where you left off. You must complete every part of the exams before you’re fully qualified. Indeed, when you have been fully tested, tried, battle hardened, purged, purified and refined, and then you will be as His bridegroom. (Dan. 11:35, Dan. 12:10, Rev. 19:7-9)

Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not appeared as yet what we will be. We know that when He appears, we will be like Him, because we will see Him just as He is. 1 John 3:2

Is God Humorous?

Is there proof in the scriptures that God has a sense of humor?

In Exodus 32:7 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, "Go down at once, for your people, whom you brought up from the land of Egypt, have corrupted {themselves.} In v.37 Then Moses entreated the LORD his God, and said, "O LORD, why does Your anger burn against Your people whom You have brought out from the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?

It appears that the LORD was messing with Moses head by not claiming any responsibility. As you study the entire history of this story it is quite evident that the miracle of deliverance from Egypt was scripted and empowered by the LORD.
Read some of the humorous stories that clearly show our God does indeed have a sense of humor. Thanks to those who submitted their funny testimonies for this blog.

On one trip my wife and I had spent most of the day in waiting line either to eat, park our car, at customer check in or boarding the vessel. Once on board an in our room I said to God, “This would be allot more fun except for the lines” He immediately responded with, “There’s even a line to get in heaven”. BN


A lady caught me in the hallway of the church and excitedly began to tell me this story about what God had done and all the things that were happening in her life. As she spoke I listened carefully but didn’t hear where God was in anything she had said. After she walked away I said to God “I didn’t get much out of that!” I heard Him say “Me either!” I just laughed as I walked away. BN

At church one night, the preacher seemed to me to be quite 'flamboyant' and I told the Lord, "He really is a show-off." After service, I climbed on my Harley motorcycle and as I left the parking lot, I ran through my five gears as loudly and as quickly as I could. I heard Him say to me, "Is he a show-off, sort of like you?" JN

God had been training me for some time about speaking into people's lives...He said "It's very important that you not only SAY the specific words I said...but that you say them IN THE WAY I SAID THEM. If you leave out the compassion or the authority, the message won't have its full effect in their lives." I said "Yes, Lord, but I don't ever want to be SO COMPASSIONATE that I don't speak tough words when I need to! I don't want to go too far on the side of gentleness!" He said "You're not in ANY danger of that!" I laughed because I have never been known to be TOO GENTLE...quite the opposite at times. WM

I was praying for a girl I had been spending some time with that was making poor choices in her life. I was very fervent in prayer, crying, speaking Word over her. I said, "Father, I have such compassion because I WAS THAT GIRL! I remember being where she is & making those choices she's making! I have felt WHY she's choosing it and I understand the bondage involved. OHHHH I REMEMBER HOW THAT FEELS!" He said, "Well, you should! It wasn't that long ago!" I cracked up because He is so funny! WM

For a period time God would wake me up at 3:33 AM and I would seek Him as to what I He wanted me to do. One morning He woke me up at 3:22 AM and I was puzzled as to what this meant. I asked God “Father what does 3:22 mean to you?” I heard Him say “Its eleven minutes before 3:33AM!” I cracked up at His humor. The next morning He woke me up at 3:44 AM. I starred at the clock and just burst out laughing and said “God I don’t even need to ask.” BN

When in a Prayer Service & saw a vision of myself standing with my arms held out behind me. There was a thick substance dripping off of me. I said "OH wow....Lord, is that ANOINTING dripping off of me?!" He said, "No...not yet....that's the OLD MAN!" WM

On the one anniversary of my survival of a motorcycle accident, where I should have died but miraculously walked away, I just wanted to honor God for His mercy and faithfulness in a very special way. Should I go into my secret place to pray and praise Him? What should I do? So I said, “Lord in ten minutes it will be one year to the day that I survived that awful wreck. I want to honor you in a special way so what would you like me to do?” I heard Him say “I want you to out to the garage in ten minutes and start up your bike and rev it up three times as loud as you can just to let the Devil know you’re still alive and well”! That’s exactly what I did. I rejoiced and praised Him for being the awesome God we serve! BN

About 8 years ago, after a long 5 years staying in offence and reaping much pain and loss in spiritual growth........and in a "financial hell"....I had occasion to "go there" (to "offence") again. God said to me as clearly as He has ever spoken to me. He said...."that is an expensive trip...and you can't afford it." Oh, how very true....I've never forgotten it.....and thankfully have chosen to never make that "trip" again! Hallelujah! B

I was moving a small podium from where it was placed and as I lifted it and sat it down I said, “Father, holy righteous hands have touched this podium” and then I heard Him say, “And just did”. BN

I had been hearing allot of things from God over a period time years ago and one morning during quiet time I asked God for a scripture. I was all excited when I heard Him say Proverbs 12:3. I hurriedly opened my bible and turned to the verse to see what God was saying to me. Proverbs 12: 3 reads, “A righteous man has regard for the life of his animal, But {even} the compassion of the wicked is cruel”. I cracked up laughing because I had promised God I would feed the fish in my fish tank the night before and forgot and went to bed. So a righteous man must take care of his animals…BN

Well a few things really stick out more than others so I will tell those. During a time in my early walk with the Lord, Jas and I were living in the little church we pastored. I was in a time of really seeking who God was in my life cause I had always know him (in religion) to be this strict deity who was just "waiting" for me to fall so he could put some disease on my or something...shabush....He was showing me a side of Him that was quite the contrary. In quiet time, I would hear him chuckle...then I would chuckle because He was chuckling. I learned to have fun in the presence of God and laugh with him in those times. During that same time I was asking about moving out of the tiny little Sunday school rooms and perhaps find an apt or house to rent. Wanting to stay in His perfect will for my life I went to Him. In tears I sought His face for guidance and finally, ever so gently I heard him say, “Psalm 23". Being a familiar passage I began to quote it and he said, "No, read it...” I was obedient and quickly looked it up and my eyes were lead to the bottom part of the passage as it reads," 6Surely* goodness and mercy* shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord my whole life long.*

I actually heard him giggle inside and say, "Not really...." We moved the following week....JS

I heard one speaker recently tell of how once told him while he was in the pulpit preaching to “livening it up at bit down there, you’re boring us up here!” His method of delivery changed from that day forth.

God’s not religious, stuffy, boring or any of those kind of things. He’s alive, refreshing, vibrant and He has a great sense of humor.

It's About the Testimony

His name was John Bradley Morrison. I first met him early in 2004 at a morning bible study hosted by Pastor Ken Smith of Heartland Church in Brownwood, Texas. Brad was handsome, charismatic, funny and had an infectious smile, the kind of gentleman you hoped to know better. I sensed that somehow our lives were going to be connected in some way, little did I know just how much.

Just days before Brad walked into Heartland Church, he introduced himself to Pastor Dawn and told her of his past. Brad said to her, “I want to know God, am I in the right place?” She said, “You’re in the right place and you’re not the first.” Brad’s past mistakes troubled him and caused him great pain in his life.

I wanted to see Brad hook up with us in our bible study and win in Christ and he did just that, Brad became a doer of the word and grew in the faith week by week. He was so hungry for the Word, that we nicknamed him “Sponge Brad Square Pants,” he identified with the name and even got up once in front of the whole church and spoke of those early days in his pursuit of God and his new nickname.

From time to time I would counsel with Brad and he'd talk about the pain of his past and how it was troubling his soul. His job required him to drive many miles each day from city to city, as he drove, Holy Spirit would settle on him at times and he would weep and weep. God was washing him and cleansing him over and over again.

In mid-October, 2006, Brad went on a church group cruise. I remember Brad and several of us were touring through the ship before we set sail. We walked into one of the lounges where they had Karaoke in the evenings. Brad did great impressions, especially of Hank Hill as well as other characters, so we asked him to step up on the stage and entertain us, we took our seats as he began to do impressions. Unknown to us there was a man behind the curtain who was tuning a piano, the man began to play a song and Brad sang along with the tune. After hearing Brad sing for a few bars, we heard the man from behind the curtain say, “Next!” Brad said, “Next song?” The man responded with, “No, next entertainer!” We all cracked up in laughter.


In the summer months of 2006, my wife and I were shown in dreams and visions that Brad and our daughter Wendy were to be married. We didn’t say a word to either one of them but in late October, Brad came to my wife and I, to her son Jason, his wife Jodie and our pastors and asked permission to date our daughter; It was pure, holy, God ordained and the one word that best describes Brad is “honor”.

They dated in our living room, we called it “the parlor” and kept their relationship pure before God, sensing a divine appointment had come into their lives and they didn’t want to mess it up. Little did we know, that we were all on a path of a divine encounter with God.

Our Brad knew how to make everyone feel special regardless if it was the first time you met him or as a long time acquaintance.

Wendy and Brad married December 8, 2006 in the living room of our home and the ceremony was attended by his family and pastors. During the wedding, Holy Spirit moved upon Wendy’s brother Jason as he went into travail and continued throughout the entire ceremony.

Brad was diagnosed with cancer in June of 2007, it was inoperable and he was valiant in his fight, standing in faith each day. He never complained or showed any anger or bitternress. So many people were praying and standing in faith right alongside with him even though we weren’t seeing the healing manifest that we knew God could do at any moment.

When I asked the Father why we hadn't seen his healing manifest, I heard Him say, “It’s about the testimony.” The next morning while in my quiet time, I asked the Father to help me better understand the testimony and He said, “You have to understand the testimony.” I knew then that things weren’t going to go the way we all expected, I knew that God has something special planned, but we would have to walk this out together with Brad to see what it was.

As the months passed and Brad’s illness progressed, the Lord began to show us that there wasn’t going to be a healing miracle for him, and yet knowing this, we still prayed and battled right alongside with Brad every day.

Two weeks and six days before Brad passed away, we went and picked him up from his home and brought him over to our house for the afternoon. He loved it in our home, it was a special place for him and has been for years for those who love God. He wept at the thought of leaving so we let him stay as long as he wished.

Five days before Brad passed away he came to Wendy and my wife, telling them he didn’t feel 'right.' My wife came and asked me to come and pray for him. When I laid hands on his shoulders, I immediately went into travail, voicing to God in deep anguish all of our discouragement, pain and disappointment. In the battle against cancer, we had arrived at the place where there was nothing else we could do spiritually for Brad. As long as I live, I don’t think I will ever forget how helpless it feels to be in that place.

As we were praying for him that night, I saw a vision of Jesus suffering on the cross, He was struggling for breath as his body lifted up and then back down. Jesus and I were breathing in sync together, over and over as He labored to breathe, I labored to breathe. I suddenly knew this was why Jesus bore the cross for all mankind, so we could come when we are helpless, hopeless and desperate and in time of need. Oh, the cross, how dear it us to the saints of God.

Brad fought the good fight of faith and his body and soul was tired, and his quality of life had all but diminished. It was time to release him to Jesus at the cross and in deep sorrow I released Brad to Christ. When I did this, the mood of the holy encounter with Christ changed, I told my wife and daughter to listen, God wanted to speak. My wife and I didn’t hear anything but his wife Wendy heard, “I will come to Brad tonight and reveal Myself to him.” After that, the travail lifted, leaving the three of us in awe of this holy encounter with Jesus and the presence of God that rested upon us afterwards.

That night, the Lord gave me a dream about what happened in the encounter that evening, He showed me a very corporate hand-off procedure that represented Brad was being handed off to Jesus. I saw an envelope with Brad's name on it being transferred from our hands to Holy Spirit and then to Jesus. I woke up immediately after the dream at 2:00 AM and cried out to God, “Why Brad, why him Lord?” I heard the father say, “Brad has lived a tormented life and even tormented in death. He’s with Me now”.

Brad bravely kept his faith and as our dear pastor ministered words of comfort to him that is was okay to go on and get his reward in heaven, he responded with a barely perceptible “amen.” Brad’s physical struggle eased and he went into a place of peace. Earlier the nurses were administering pain medicine ever half-hour and after prayer with his pastor, to my knowledge, he didn't need anymore. Brad slipped away four hours later on Thursday, April 3, 2008 in our home, he was surrounded by his family.

The night of his passing, I was awakened in the middle of the night by the Lord and once again I asked Him to help me understand the testimony, I told the Father our hearts were saddened and we needed to understand.

The Father began to say, “I didn’t do what was best for Me but what was best for Brad”. Truly, God would have a received a great testimony should the miracle have occurred, and I thought of the analogy of a card game, where God was holding an unbeatable hand but chose to fold so Brad could win. Brad could have been healed but it wouldn’t have ended his torment.

Some of us have things in our past which the judicial system and society has labeled us with. Brad lived with this every day. Everywhere Brad lived his past followed him, there was no way of getting away from it as long as he lived.

After this, I began to see God in a way, a way that I had never seen Him before, instead of glorifying Himself, He did what was best for Brad. The bible says “And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to {His} purpose. Romans 8:28

“And God has proven His faithfulness by giving us His own Son which was better for us than it was for God. He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things?” Romans 8:32

This is the testimony that to those who love God you can trust Him to do what’s best for you in every situation regardless what it pertains too. The Father once asked my wife, “Do you want me to give you what you think you want or what you really want”? Trust Him in every situation and I pray that you will get understanding and grow in knowledge of Him character each day.

Brad's now totaly healed and experiencing glorious wonders beyond our ability to express or understand. The life and spirit behind his inspired prayers will continue to bear fruit in our lives and produce a great harvest in the days and years to come. I look forward to seeing him again when Christ comes!

In loving memory of a dear son, a brother in Christ, whom we were proud to know, to love and whom we will miss dearly.

I've Come For Your Words (Angelic Visitation)

On January 11, 2008, I heard the Father say, “In the coming days you will see a light in your house from time to time. When you see this light, it is the time of the descending angel’s arrival, he comes for your prayer requests, give him your prayer requests for an express delivery to Me”.

I told my wife about what I had heard in my quiet time and that we needed to get a mental list of prayer requests ready for the angel’s arrival.

On January 14, 2008, while my wife and I were sitting on the front porch engaged in a wonderful intimate conversation, I said to her ”Years ago when I saw the vision of the second coming I was in the Spirit.” When I said that, I was suddenly shot in the heart by what felt like an arrow or perhaps pierced by a sword. My body rocked back in the chair and I became weak and tearful as I began to experience the passion that Jesus has for me. When I looked at my wife, I saw an open vision of her naked before me and I felt the highest level of passion a man could possibly have or understand for a woman. The passion I was feeling for her was a God-kind of passion that burned in me. Jesus was portraying to me that what I was feeling towards my wife, was actually how he feels towards his bride, Jesus the passionate lover of our souls.

On January 15, 2008, at 3:23 AM I awoke and said to myself, "Ten minutes until 3:33 AM" and went back to sleep. Often through the years, God has awakened me at 3:33 AM and I know many other saints who will tell you the same thing. Indeed my wife woke me at 3:33 AM and the following is an excerpt from her journal of an angel sent by God.

Journal Entry January 15, 2008 "Rayneous"

"At 3:33am I was awakened and I knew there was an angel downstairs in the hall in front of the door, in just moments, the angel was at the foot of our bed and facing us.

At first I felt afraid and couldn’t open my eyes, and during the entire time he was at our bed, Bill and I both felt our insides melt like wax, I had tears, we felt heat, cold, nausea and weakness. The large, very gentle angel was half man and half horse, (a centaur) he was completely flesh colored, he wore a small, silver helmet, had blonde hair and had a bow and arrow pulled in his hands.

The angel lowered the bow and arrow and placed them into a holder on his left side, he took out a gold writing instrument and a scroll of paper and was poised ready to write and said to me, “I am Rayneous, you may call me Ray, I’ve come for your words.” After I whispered to him all my goals, desires and prayers, I tapped Bill on the shoulder and said, “Bill, there's an angel at the foot of our bed, his name is Rayneous and he’s come for our words. I told him my prayers and desires now you do the same.” Rayneous gently walked over to Bill’s side of the bed and was ready to write as Bill spoke softly.

I have a knowing that this angel walked through every room of our home before leaving. Bill and I lay in bed until 4:34am unable to return to sleep and with the symptoms as described above. When we were able to do so, we got up out of bed and went on to our regularly scheduled morning prayer early. The hour seemed to go by as fast as 10 minutes!"

Later that morning when when we recalled the event of the night, we knew that the angel that had shot me in the heart only hours before was the same angel that came for our prayers. Often, when we know that an angel has arrived hours or a days before they actually reveal to us their assignment.

Scripture Reference:
Daniel 10:12 Then he said to me, "Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding {this} and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words.

The Lord Is Righting the Ship

Prophecy 3-26-08

"For too long the intolerant have been tolerated in My house. The mummers and the complainers and those who bring strife and division have been allowed to remain under the surface of the eyes of man, but not My eye. For it is at this time, I am exposing the hidden reefs that have caused many to shipwreck.


As a clear beacon is set to warn others away so shall they be marked as examples to stay away from such as these. Navigate around them and teach others not to end up like them being hazards to My plan, My purposes and most of all My people. I am not slack in My duties nor is My timing delayed, for it is at this time that I so choose to purge My house of those who bring only contempt for the plan and purposes of God. So I say the wind of the storm will soon blow even harder on their hiding places, exposing every rock, crevice and reef.

Then I will say to the storm My faithful ones, 'Be still and be at peace' for I have given you safe passage through all the danger. Now enter into My rest, for I AM the Lord God of My Harbor”.



Scripture Ref:
Jude 1:12-19 These are the men who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted; wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever. {It was} also about these men {that} Enoch, {in} the seventh {generation} from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones, to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him." These are grumblers, finding fault, following after their {own} lusts; they speak arrogantly, flattering people for the sake of {gaining an} advantage. But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they were saying to you, "In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts." These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit.

v.20-21 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

1 Tim. 1:19 keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.

Fall On Me (Angelic Visitation)

In the night of January 27, 2008, during the fourth watch (3:00 AM -6:00 AM), I was awakened by the presence of an angel standing at the foot of the bed. I rose up and said, “Lord open my eyes to see” and then I saw the angel with my spiritual eyes. He was dressed in dark blue police uniform. I waited for a few moments and sensed that there was nothing required of me at that moment and went back to sleep.

Our daughter, Wendy was dropped off at our house by her husband that same morning. We asked her when we needed to give her a ride to work and she said she was going to hang around for a while. Wendy is a great employee and really loves her job so this struck me as very odd for her.

I went upstairs to pray for wisdom and thought about the angelic visitor, which came to me early that morning. I asked the Father, “What does a policeman angel come to do? “ He said, “Arrest!” Then He gave me the song, “Fall On Me” performed by the “Shekinah Glory Ministry”. It had to be that song performed by that choir. I knew I had to find this CD immediately and play it. I grabbed it and ran downstairs and as I breezed past Wendy I said, “All I know is that I’ve got to play “Fall On Me” and I’ve got to play it now“!

As the music began to play and the words came forth:
Fall on meFall on me Let your manifested glory fall on me...
The holy presence of God began to fall on me. I now was in the arms of the “policeman angel” right there in the den. I was being arrested by an angel sent by God, while I bowed at the sofa.

The spirit of travail fell on me and I began to go into levels of travail I didn’t know existed. I felt a powerful squeezing sensation all over my body, but mostly on my head. I was in a head lock by an angel of God, an arresting angel.

As the songs on the CD played one by one and the intensity of the music would rise and fall, the intensity of the travail followed. At the end of the tenth song the spirit of travail lifted. When I rose up ad looked for Wendy, I saw her laying in tears on the kitchen floor. She had been overcome by the His presence and power also.

I believe the spirit of travail is one of the most holy things of God and so powerful when He moves on the human spirit man to intercede on behalf of a soul in need. As the words in the song say, “Some soul is depending on you Lord”, “Someone one is looking to mend a broken heart”, “Someone is lonely and they need you to comfort them”, “Someone's lost and they need your guidance”.

As soon as the spirit of travail came it lifted after the tenth song finished on the CD titled “Holy of Holies”. The glorious manifestation lasted about fifty minutes.

My dear saints of God, may we never forget what a compassionate God we serve. My prayer is that we all come to the knowledge of Him. Will you we seek to know who He is, His nature, and His character and to know the depths of His love beyond all understanding?

Lord, Lord, Lord, come on, Lord, come on
Some soul, is depending on you Lord Oh yes it is
Someone is looking, to mend, a broken heart yes they are
Someone's lonely and they need you, to comfort them to comfort them,
Someone's lost and they need your guidance Oh Lord, come on down,
