NEW EXPRESSION OF THE ECCLESIA
Marcus Vann
1577 ekklesia (ek-klay-see'-ah); ecclesia from a
compound of 1537 and a derivative of 2564; a calling out,
i.e. (concretely) a popular meeting, especially a
religious congregation (Jewish synagogue, or Christian
community of members on earth or saints in heaven or
both): KJV-- assembly, church.
Within the new expression of the ecclesia ( church or
body ) there is some wisdom that is needed so that which
is now coming forth does not began to look like
the old. If pureness is to remain in the newly emerging
apostolic church, we need to stay focused on the call
and the purpose of the Five Fold ministry which is to bring the
church ( body ) into a place of maturity.
1 Cor 12:28
In this verse, the word "first" is(proton) 4412 proton (pro'-ton); neuter of 4413 as adverb (with or without 3588); firstly
(in time, place, order, or importance): KJV-- before, at
the beginning, chiefly (at, at the) first (of all).
The word of God tell us the God is Love (agapao) so the
first mature or heart of five fold ministry and the
apostolic must be Love (agapao or agape ) a true love for
the body (church) The first and foremost purpose and
mission of apostolic are the people. This is seen in most
all of Paul minsistry writing
Eph 3:3-5
In this passage the Word tells us that the Spirit is
bringing forth the revelation of "the mystery" to the
apostles and prophets. The calling of the apostle and
prophet is not for them to boast about who they are and
what authority they have, but to facilitate the building and
equipping of the Saints. True apostolic ministry will always be about
people. Our understanding is for the benefit of
people (Ephesians 4:11-13 ) This is what the agenda will
be that will equip the body of Christ ( saints or people)
to know they are Christ in the earth.
Col 1:25-27
True Five fold ministry of apostle and prophets will be
found bringing the Saints into the understanding of the
mystery. Only to the measure that apostles and prophets
have received this understanding will they be able to build the
people into the same level or understanding that is in
within them.( I can do no more in the people then what
has been done in me) A person can only impart what has
already been imparted and received in them. I have come
to understand that if an apostolic ministry does not have
the people first then the true heart of the Father is not
yet in that ministry. Looking into the word of God we
see a pattern of not moving on until the church that has
been started has come to a place of maturity where it is
able to do the work of the ministry. To leaving a
congregation / church before this has been accomplished
in a community is not the fulfillment or outworking of
true apostolic ministry.
Paul speaks in Gal; 4:19 of his desire to labor with the
people until Christ is formed
Gal 4:19
If we follow the manual that God gave us....His Word,
and allow the Spirit to teach us how to walk in Him, we
will never go wrong. The "manual" teaches that the sign
of a true apostle will never be the words they ( he or
she ) speaks but it will be seen and only seen in the
people (saints) he has built up and equipped so that
they, the saints, are doing the work of ministering.
This will go on until we ( the saints) all attain
oneness in the faith and in the knowledge ( revelation)
of the Son of God to the stature of the fullness of
Christ. The work of apostles is not to be seen not talked
about---but manifested in the lives of those that they
are sent to build up.
Col 2:23
The way in which the Word of God tells us to judge true
apostolic ministry can be seen in the story in the book
of Kings where the Queen of Sheba came to SEE the wisdom
of King Solomon ( apostleship is seen in theorder of the
house)
I Kings 10:4-7
Paul states here that those he was ministering to were
the seal (authenticating, confirming ) of his apostolic
ministry...that means you and I....the recipients of
apostolic ministry.
1 Cor 9:1-2
2 Cor 11:5-13
Even here Paul didn't want to be a burden on those he was
building in Christ.
The Greek word for apostle
We as apostles are only sent after we ourselves are
equipped for the ministry and have ourselves come into
an understanding of the unity of the faith, and knowledge
of the Son of God. Then we a ready to edify the body of
Christ ( then we will be sent or apostolos.) This
understanding of the fivefold ministry is a place to
start to understand the will of God for the church.
However, fivefold ministry is not where God is going to
stop. There is more but the Church ( body ) is not ready
to move on with God so fivefold ministry has come to set
the body ( church) in order

Reformation & Reconciliation
Teresa Daly-Crews
Our Father has called us into a time of reformation to the
establishment of the Kingdom of God. For this to be accomplished we
must obey the voice of the Lord and look unto the former days to
receive blueprints for foundations that cannot be shaken. Many of our
perceptions and religious structure are based upon the thoughts of
men and not upon the true Rock. As the Lord begins to send forth His
Army there will be specific areas of realignment in the Body to bring
forth Gods perfection. One such area will be balance in spiritual and
natural battles and how to gain victory in them both.
Many in the Body are finding themselves continually falling into
defeat when faced with daily battles. There is a silent scream being
uttered from the hearts and minds of believers throughout the world.
Fearing rejection and judgment from others, some individuals have
become entombed in their own minds afraid to admit they are falling
short of victory. The enemy has increased the volume of lies being
whispered in the ears of believers. The onslaught of unworthiness and
condemnation has brought some to spiritual death. This attack has
brought many to their knees, not crying out to the Lord for help but
falling in utter despair and hopelessness.
It is time for us to grasp hold of the deep and hidden mysteries of
the Word to gain the full victory promised in our covenant blessings.
Victory in the natural begins with our stepping beyond what is
temporally seen and fighting with supernatural weapons given by the
Spirit of God. God is unlocking the mysteries of the Kingdom so we
may overcome every enemy that may come against us. It is time for us
to walk in the fullness of victory promised in the Word. We must be
sensitive to one another as truth is spoken, allowing those who have
been in emotional hiding to come forward to receive healing and
deliverance. As the Spirit of God brings the Body into unity of heart
and mind, we must hold one another up with the hand of God bringing
healing and restoration to us all.
In HIS Service,
Intoxicated With Unbroken Success
Doug Morrell
"He answered: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your
soul and with all your strength and with all your mind'; and, 'Love your
neighbor as yourself.'" (Luke 10:27)
From the parable we learn three principles about loving our neighbor:
Somehow many of us have gotten the idea that self-love is wrong. But if this
were the case, it would be pointless to love our neighbors as ourselves. But
the Apostle Paul explained what he meant by self-love. Even if you have low
self-esteem, you probably don't willingly let yourself go hungry. You clothe
yourself reasonably well. You make sure there's a roof over your head if you
can. You try not to let yourself be cheated or injured. And you get angry if
someone tries to ruin your marriage. This is the kind of love we need to
have for our neighbors. Do we see that others are fed, clothed, and housed
as well as they can be? Are we concerned about issues of social justice? Are
we building walls of indifference between our neighbors, other churches in
our community, other cities, states or nations? Loving others as ourselves
means to be actively working to see that their needs are met. Interestingly,
people who focus on others rather than on themselves rarely suffer from low
self-esteem.
When we are not motivated by love, we become critical of others. We stop
looking for good in them and see only their faults. Soon unity is broken.
Have you talked behind someone's back? Have you focused on others'
shortcomings instead of their strengths? Remind yourself of Jesus' command
to love others as you love yourself (Mth. 22:39). When you begin to feel
critical of someone, make a list of that person's positive qualities. If
there are problems that need to be addressed, it is better to confront in
love than to gossip.
The royal law is the law of our great King Jesus Christ, who said, "Love
each other as I have loved you" (John 15:12). This law is the basis for all
the laws of how people should relate to one another. Christ reinforced this
truth in Mth. 22:37-40, and Paul taught it in Rom. 13:8 and Gal. 5:14.
We must treat all people as we would want to be treated. We should not
ignore the rich, because then we would be withholding our love. But we must
not favor them for what they can do for us, while ignoring the poor who can
offer us seemingly so little in return.
As one man wrote:
But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which
preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us, and
we have vainly imagined in the deceitfulness of our hearts that all these
blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own.
Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to
feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace--too proud to pray to
the God that made us.
It has seemed to me fit and proper that God should be solemnly, reverently,
and gratefully acknowledged as with one heart and one voice by the whole
American people.
I do, therefore, invite my fellow citizens in every part of the United
States, and also those at sea and those who are sojourning in foreign lands,
to set apart and observe the last Thursday of November next, as a day of
Thanksgiving and Praise to our benevolent Father who dwelleth in the
heavens." -A Proclamation By the President of the United States of America
Abraham Lincoln, October 3, 1863
As we approach this Thanksgiving holiday, let us think seriously about the
One Who made all things possible.
Let us be a covenant people dedicated to fulfilling both the Great
Commandment and the Great Commission. Let us love our neighbor as ourselves
and purpose to both know Christ and make Him known to a world void of
understanding and wisdom.
Grow in grace and truth...

Live Christ Deliberately!
SPEAK TO THE ROCK!
I believe all of us are familiar with the account in Numbers
chapter 20, where the Lord tells Moses to SPEAK to the Rock to
bring forth water and he SMITES it twice instead. I find it interesting
that this account directly follows the instructions for the Red
Heifer offering in Numbers chapter 19. In a previous article
(see Ashes of the Red Heifer) we saw how the Red Heifer offering
pointed to the New Creation Man of the Third Day and the Seventh
Day, and the importance of 'not touching' the 'dead man'- the
Adam / sin nature. Now, we must keep in mind that all these things
happened to them as examples for us (1Cor.10:11), so these accounts
are not so much just the telling of historical events, but rather
the prophetic proclamation of God's purposes.
Let us also weave into the canvass of this prophetic picture
that Rom.5:10 says that as "...we were RECONCILED to God through
the DEATH of His Son, it is much more certain now that we ARE
reconciled, that we SHALL be SAVED through His resurrection LIFE...";
in other words, His death brought reconciliation, but it is His
resurrection LIFE (zoe) that brings salvation. Also let us weave
in the truths that "...they drank from a spiritual Rock... and
the Rock was Christ..."(ICor.10:4); and that Jesus said in John
6:63 that His WORDS are Spirit (pneuma) and Life (zoe).
With these Scriptures in mind, let us now bring some clarity:
Just as the Rock is symbolic of Christ, so the smiting of the
Rock is symbolic of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ; "...we considered
Him smitten by God..."(Is.53:4). This 'smiting of the Rock' brought
forth the water of the 'earnest of the Spirit'; "...out of his
belly shall flow rivers of living water... the Holy Ghost was
not yet given, because that Jesus was not yet glorified."(John
7:38-39). This smiting of the Rock ONCE was ordained of God and
necessary to provide the 'spiritual water' of the baptism or
earnest of the Spirit. The ROD also is symbolic of power, and
we know that we receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon
us (Acts 1:8).
We can see this 'ROD anointing' evidenced in the Pentecostal
/ Charismatic movements, where the emphasis is tapping into an
anointing for a season, for a reason... like an external anointing
that comes upon an individual for a time... the proverbial 'getting
under the spout where the glory comes out' (I'm NOT poking fun,
I'm just trying to bring definition). It is, as it were, a drawing
upon the power of the BLOOD- the DEATH of Jesus Christ (the smiting
of the Rock) that breaks bondages and curses. We see this principle
evidenced in the Revival / Renewal movements also, and certainly
the ROD anointing does provide for NEEDS while in the wilderness.
However, I don't believe that the ROD anointing is what takes
us into the Promised Land... rather, it is the PROCEEDING WORD,
the speaking to the Rock that takes us there. Mind you, I'm NOT
trying to denigrate the ROD anointing at all; remember that in
Numbers chapter 20, God told Moses to take the rod WITH him as
he spoke to the Rock.
You see, it is not the ROD that keeps us out of the Promised
Land, it is the smiting TWICE that keeps us from our destiny.
TWO is the number of duality, of double-mindedness; it is also
the number of agreement ("...if two of you shall agree..." Matt.18:19).
This smiting TWICE speaks of the DUALITY of the Adam / sin nature,
the carnal reasoning of the mind; it's the inaccurate belief
that after you come to Christ you now have TWO natures, TWO spirits
that are at war with each other... this is a product of religion,
the result of eating from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil.
In reality, your old Adam / sin nature has ALREADY been dealt
with ("...our old unrenewed self WAS nailed to the cross with
Him..." Rom.6:6); it is just our MIND that must be renewed to
this reality.
About now, I'm sure someone is saying, "What about Paul's discourse
in Romans chapter 7?... I do the thing I hate (sin), and I can't
do the thing I desire (righteousness)." Well, if you will read
Romans chapters 6 and 8 for the context of this discourse, you
will find he is speaking of the person under the Law (Rom.7:1),
and the impossibility of the Law producing righteousness. He
even asks the question, "...who will deliver me from this body
of death?"(Rom.7:24), and then answers, "...He WILL, through
Jesus Christ our Lord!"(v.25)... I believe that the Father meant
what He said when, by the Holy Spirit, He inspired Paul to write
those words! Paul goes on to say that "...God HAS DONE (past
tense) what the Law could not do... condemned sin in the flesh-
subdued, overcame, deprived it of its power over ALL who ACCEPT
that sacrifice." (Rom.8:3). We MUST see that the smiting of the
Rock ONCE was sufficient, and we must see OURSELVES in Christ-
crucified, dead, and buried! Only then will we be able to see
ourselves as risen, ascended, and seated IN Christ.
Consider Heb.9:26-27, "...He has ONCE for ALL at the consummation
and close of the ages appeared to abolish sin by His sacrifice...
(smiting the Rock ONCE, my notes)... Christ having been offered
to take upon Himself and bear as a burden the sins of many ONCE
and ONCE for ALL, will APPEAR a SECOND time, NOT carrying ANY
burden of sin nor to deal with sin, but to bring to FULL SALVATION
those who are waiting for and expecting Him.". My friend, full
salvation is our 'Promised Land' and the place He is appearing
this SECOND time is IN HIS PEOPLE! In the Book of the REVEALation
of Jesus Christ, John hears a VOICE and when he TURNED from his
present position (some of us need to turn from our present position
to see Christ!), where did he see Christ appearing?... in the
MIDST of the Lampstand- the Church! (Rev.1:10-13)
Now we've got to see this progression:
1. John HEARD a VOICE like a trumpet- The voice (message) of
the Apostolic is sounding as a trumpet in the earth today, declaring
the message of the Mystery of the Seventh Trumpet of Rev.10:7
which is Christ IN YOU, the HOPE (Promised Land) of manifesting
His glory / nature (FULL salvation).
2. John TURNED from his present position- We have to lay down
inaccurate doctrines, our focus and vision must be on the VOICE.
3. John SAW Christ revealed in the MIDST of His people.
You see, His appearing this SECOND time in His people, is not
for the purpose of being smitten a second time (to continue to
deal with sin), but rather to bring forth FULL salvation- the
Promised Land... and I believe the way this is appropriated is
by SPEAKING to the Rock.
The Rock of REVEALation (Christ) is WITHIN US and as we speak
the words of the Father, calling forth the ABIDING anointing
(1 John 2:27), the abiding 'christos' in Greek or the abiding
Christ, we will begin to enter the Promised Land of being conformed
to His image and likeness. Remember that Jesus said His words
are SPIRIT and LIFE (zoe) and that He only said and did what
He heard and saw from the Father; and He also said that man does
not live by bread alone, but by every WORD that PROCEEDS from
the mouth of God. You see, it is the PROCEEDING WORD- speaking
the words of the Father that brings forth Life (zoe)... not 'smiting
the Rock'. We must move from a 'smiting the Rock' mentality,
to a 'speak to the Rock' mentality... from a ROD mentality (external
anointing coming upon us for a season), to a PROCEEDING WORD
mentality (internal abiding anointing).
By now, someone is probably saying, "But I thought the Bible
taught us that the life is in the blood!" This is very true,
but we must understand that there are two types of LIFE... two
different words, psuche and zoe, both translated as life, but
having very different meanings. Jesus said it very emphatically
in Matt. 16:25, "He who seeks to save HIS LIFE shall lose it...".
The word for life in that verse is 'psuche' from which we get
the word psyche, which is the mind, the SOUL. That verse literally
says that if we seek to protect and preserve our SOUL life (life
lived from the mind, will and emotions), we will lose it... the
word lose, apollumi, means to destroy fully. The verse goes on
to say that if we lose our SOUL life for HIS SAKE, we will find
it, or better translated we will OBTAIN. What is it that we obtain?...
well, Jesus said His WORDS (the incorruptible Seed of Life) were
Spirit (Pneuma) and Life (Zoe), or Spirit Life. Jesus said His
purpose in coming was that we may have LIFE, Zoe or Spirit Life!
He did NOT come to give us 'psuche', or SOUL Life! THAT is the
life (psuche) that was crucified with Him!
The verses in John 10:11, 15, 17, all say that Jesus laid down
(in death) His LIFE for us; the word used there is psuche in
Greek (NOT His Zoe). Is 53:10 says that His SOUL (nephesh in
Hebrew, psuche in Greek) was an offering for sin... NOT His Spirit
(Ruach) but His SOUL. Verse 12 goes on to say "... He hath poured
out His SOUL (nephesh) unto death...". This is significant because
according to Lev. 17:11 "...the life (nephesh or SOUL) of the
FLESH is in the blood... the blood maketh atonement for the SOUL...".
In other words, the SOULISH life is in the BLOOD, and it was
the BLOOD of Christ that was poured out, His SOUL (psuche, NOT
His Spirit) an offering for sin. Furthermore, "...the Son of
Man came... to give His life (psuche - SOUL) a ransom for many..."(Matt.
20:28), His BLOOD shed as the sin offering, that WE may have
LIFE (ZOE), SPIRIT LIFE!
Friends, it is His LIFE (zoe) that brings forth FULL salvation,
being conformed to His image and likeness, and His WORDS are
SPIRIT LIFE... we do not live by bread alone, but it is the PROCEEDING
WORD that brings forth Life. As we speak the WORDS of the Father,
what God says concerning who we are in Christ, as we speak to
the Rock of REVEALation within us (Christ IN us) calling forth
the NEW MAN within, we will go beyond just meeting needs in the
wilderness... we will be on our way to conquering those things
that appear to be 'giants' standing in the way of our Promised
Land of manifesting the fullness of Christ.
Quit smiting the Rock within you in the duality of carnal reasoning;
quit depending on the ROD anointing... start speaking to the
Rock within, calling forth the ABIDING anointing... watch as
the water of the PROCEEDING WORD flows freely from your life...
watch the 'giants' in your life topple as the victory that has
ALREADY been won is appropriated!

The Death Knoll
MARY CLARK
Last night the Lord woke me and said the words, "death
knoll."
I am calling to you, My beloved, to remain steadfast in My
truth. I am wanting to explain some very complicated
things to My beloved - things that you will look on as
strange at first glance, but you will see, as you examine
them closer, that your God is giving you the undying
fortitude required for the time approaching. I want you
active in My will. I want you to participate in all that
is coming your way. Don't seek for cover, beloved, when I
sound the death knoll to the world's way of doing things.
The world has woven an intricate pattern of deceit. I am
just in the process of unraveling it. I will unravel it,
and as I do those who will come to Me will be worked into
the fine fabric of My plan.
I am calling for you, My beloved, to rise in the face of
this sound of gloom, looking to the Beloved, trusting in
Me to guarantee you that promised safe haven. It is
prepared for you. It is all prepared for you to nestle
close in the Beloved's arms of love. I am speaking about
My most pronounced glory coming and engulfing all who will
hearken to the voice of the Beloved. I am calling for you
to rest in the peace and safety of My heart where I will
reveal My love to you. This is a place of comfort,
beloved. It is not a place of insecurity, but a place of
the knowledge of My love, being made known in you, and
enabling you to rest in the embrace of your Master. Rest
in this knowledge as you see the scurrying to and fro of
those who are seeking the world's ways. Rest in the sweet,
peaceful knowledge that the love of your God brings you.
While the world is listening to the death knoll, you will
be in My embrace, nestled close, listening to the rhythm
of My heart as it gives you that wonderful peace - that
peace that passes all understanding, pervading, in every
heart that longs for the Beloved's nearness. Is that you,
beloved? Are you one who longs to be near the Beloved?
Then you may count on Me to draw you into this sweet
embrace, and reveal some wonderful things about My love
for you. As you look on the conditions of the world, from
that most pleasurable place, there is to be peace in the
loving arms of the Master - in the direct vicinity of My
glory.

Healing in the High Places
Bryan Hupperts
Hi, SheepTrax!
While praying, the Lord showed me a representation of the United
States of America. Immediately, I could clearly see two strong
exceedingly dark and bloody pagan altars at opposite ends the
country. One was in Washington, D.C., and the other over Hollywood,
California. I sensed there was also a financial altar over New York
but it was excluded from this vision.
As I was pondering these altars, these spiritual "high places," I
felt the Lord say, "Now watch what I will do." And I began to rejoice
because I sensed their wickedness being overthrown. And as God raised
up Gideon to throw down the altar of Baal worship in Israel - to
bring a season of national deliverance - so He is now raising up
leaders who will throw down the high places of corruption and
wickedness in both the entertainment industry and in national
politics.
I have long believed that America was coming under the stern judgment
of God. My prayer was that in judgment, God would yet remember mercy.
I believe God will bring healing to the entertainment (media) and to
the political arena but somehow I sense we will still bear the lashes
of bitter financial judgment.
I once had a vision of an empty and ravaged grocery market, the
shelves had been raided and stripped down to the dust. Only recently
did I understand that this referred not only to my local grocery
store, but to our national financial markets. One day, panic is going
to hit and people are going to raid the markets leaving them
virtually bare.
Anyway, to understand the concept of the high place, remember that
the ancients believed that the higher up into the heavens you could
travel, the closer to the gods you would become. Even the Lord is
referred to as the "Most High." That's why many high places, places
of worship, were strategically located on high hills and mountains.
Even in the building of the Tower of Babel, the impulse was to make a
way for man to reach into the heavens. Genesis11: 4, "Come, let us
build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens."
Regarding Hollywood: Psalms 78:58, "For they provoked Him to anger
with their high places, and moved Him to jealousy with their…
images." Hollywood is the center of moral filth that has flooded the
earth. Even as God flooded the ancient world but spared Noah, so now
God is now going to flow in mercy through these fountains (the media)
to flood the world with the knowledge of His Son. The ancient flood
produced death and destruction. This flood of righteousness will
transform television sets and the theatre houses of the world into
altars where repentance and godly sorrow for sin will sweep untold
millions of souls into the kingdom of God.
When a high place of pagan worship is cast down, it is necessary to
build an altar to the Lord and worship there. 2 Chronicles
14:5, "(Asa) also removed the high places and the incense altars from
all the cities of Judah, and the kingdom was quiet under him." When
God visits Hollywood and Washington with His presence, we will know a
measure of peace (though I sense it will be the kind of supernatural
peace you have going through a fierce storm, and not the lack of
deadly storms).
It is my firm conviction that the days of the United States are
numbered but that we will do God's good purposes until our final
hour. One last time God is going to flood our political arena and
center of media with His glory. Ezekiel 6:3, "Thus says the Lord GOD
to the mountains, to the hills, to the ravines, and to the
valleys: 'Indeed I, even I, will bring a sword against you, and I
will destroy your high places;'" and again in Ezekiel 16:39. "I will
also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your shrines
and break down your high places."
For the wicked who rule and worship at these high places, hear the
somber warning of God: repent and be healed!, or inherit the curse of
Leviticus 26:30. "I will destroy your high places, cut down your
incense altars, and cast your carcasses on the lifeless forms of your
idols; and My soul shall abhor you."
I believe we are headed for a financial shipwreck on order of the
shock and disaster of the sinking of the Titanic, and yet believe
that God will flow through our media and political system to both
declare the Gospel of His Son and bless the nations one more time.
The Lord will stand enthroned over the high places of Hollywood and
Washington before he comes. Amos 4:13, "For behold, He who forms
mountains, And creates the wind, Who declares to man what his thought
is, And makes the morning darkness, Who treads the high places of the
earth--The LORD God of hosts is His name."

Aaron's Rod
Christine
This week the Lord took me to Numbers 16 and 17 where Korah challenged the
leadership credentials of Moses and Aaron and said we are entering into a
time where the Spirit of God will expose and judge the motives of men's
hearts in the church and just as in the instance with Korah, Dathan and
Abiram, the judgement will be by fire. In Num 16:1 it tells us that those
who rose up were leaders of the congregation, men well-known and of
distinction. There are those in the church today who have reputation and
renowned ministries but the Lord is looking on all our hearts and not on
the outward appearance of spirituality. Verse 3,10 and 13 tell us that
these men were full of jealousy, spiritual ambition and rebellion. And the
Lord is sending His fire to purge the church in this season. There will be
a shaking and reshuffling of ministries and some, even those which are
renowned amongst men shall be removed. We have entered the prophetic third
day and as with God's days, first comes evening and then morning.(Gen
1:5).God is working a work in darkness which the coming of morning will
reveal. Moses spoke a prophetic word to this generation in Numbers 16:5
when he said,
There is a measuring and a testing and a judging of our lives and
ministries in this evening time of the third day and the Lord shall be
placing His seal of approval on some and removing others. In Hosea 6 it
speaks of those whom He causes to come near Him, those He has raised up
on
the third day to live before Him. In the Hebrew, this speaks of being
before His face, living continually in His presence. But the preceding
verses tell us the conditions to the fulfillment of this in our lives are
brokenness, repentance and returning to the Lord. The morning of the third
day is the prophetic time spoken of in Malachi 3:17 when the Lord takes
note of those who fear Him and openly declares them to be His jewels.
There is coming a time when those the Lord has been molding and forming
under tremendous pressure and in secret shall be given His seal of
approval and recognition openly.
Both Malachi 3:2 and 4:1 refer to the fire of the Lord that comes to burn
up the hay and the stubble and to refine His church. Korah was a son of
Levi, but he was not satisfied with ministering to the congregation and
serving in the tabernacle. He coveted Aaron's portion. In the Body of
Christ today, there are those who are not satisfied with the position and
ministry God has assigned to them and they covet the giftings and
anointings of others. James 3:16 tells us that wherever there is jealousy
and selfish ambition there is confusion and every evil work. We are the
priesthood, and the Lord is bringing His fire to purify us that our
offerings may be in righteousness as in Malachi 3:3. We also read in Isaiah
4 of a cleansing and a purifying of those in Zion by the spirit of
judgement and burning. And then those who remain will be called holy and
the Lord will cover our homes, our lives and our fellowships with His
glory (verse 5) God cannot bring His glory to a backbiting, envious,
dissatisfied Bride. He is sending His fire to shake and to sift and to
single out those He is pleased with and those that will fall.
The tragedy was that Korah had a good inheritance from the Lord. His
father's name means 'anointed'. But that was not enough for him. When they
brought their censors and incense before the Lord, this is a picture of
their prayer lives. Our prayer lives are being viewed by the Lord at this
time. What a solemn warning for intercessors. Korah's censor was made of
brass, which speaks of impurity. Aaron's was of gold. Korah wanted the
position and the acclaim but his prayer life was not what it should have
been. Sometimes we see the outward manifestation of the anointing on a
person's ministry and covet that but we do not see the prayer life behind
it. We do not know their relationship with God, like Aaron who ministered
to the Lord. God sees in secret and those who have ministered to Him in
their closet, away from the eyes of men, those who have wept before Him
and worshipped Him in secret are the ones who will receive His approval
before men in the coming days.
All 250 rebels were destroyed but their censors, that which had been
offered to the Lord, were holy, and were beaten and hammered into sheets
to cover the brazen altar. But Korah's sons were not killed (Num 26:11)
and they went on to write 11 of the beautiful psalms we read today. It
seems that their hearts were not drawn after their father's wickedness and
even so today, those whose parents have fallen away from the Lord are
still able to access and appropriate the anointing in their godly
bloodlines to the glory of God.
I see the Lord's eye running over families in these days, looking for
hearts who are separated unto Him. Aaron and Korah both descended from
Levi who was their great-grandfather but it was Aaron whom God separated
for Holy of Holies ministry. In these days a godly heritage is no
guarantee of God's favour and anointing. It is our own individual hearts
and the state of our secret life which will determine promotion or
demotion in His kingdom. It was Aaron's high-priestly intercession that
stayed the plague amongst the people and in the coming days we will see
the fulfillment of Job 22:30 "He will even deliver the one for whom you
intercede who is not innocent; yes, he will be delivered through the
cleanness of your hands."
In Numbers 17 we read of the Lord's instruction to lay rods representing
the 12 tribes before the ark of testimony in the evening. In the morning
Aaron's rod had budded, showing God's approval of him. In the same way,
our rods are lying before the Lord at this time, the evening of the third
day. The rod represents our lives, our ministries, our authority in the
spirit, our inheritance in God. We are in a time of measuring and judging
We are passing under His measuring rod and some are found lacking and
some
are found ready.
"And the rod of the man I choose shall bud." (Num. 17:5)
This is what the Lord is saying. On the morning of this third day, the
lives and ministries of those He chooses shall bud and blossom and bear
fruit. What was it that caused Aaron's rod to bud ? It was the
resurrection life and power of God. Jesus also rose on the morning of the
third day and His bride shall experience the resurrection power of God
upon her on the morning of this same third day but right now we are still
in the evening and the sifting and shaking and purifying is being carried
out. Our works are passing through the fire to test what they are made of
and then we can rise and shine with the glory of the Lord in the morning,
with His approval and authority to rule in the midst of our foes(psalm
110:3).
The Hebrew word 'bud' means 'to break forth, to spread, to fly, to
flourish, to spring up.' What a picture of resurrection power! This same
word is used in Ezekiel 17:24, "all the trees of the field shall
understand that I, the Lord, have brought low the high tree, have exalted
the low tree and have made the dry tree to flourish. I, the Lord, have
spoken and I will do it!" Again we see the sifting and judging of lives
and ministries at this time. I believe the body of Christ is going to
experience a great reshuffling and realigning in this time,as the Lord
brings into the open His jewels. It will be a work done in darkness,
undetected by man but the morning will reveal the results. The word for
'dry' in the above verse also means ' ashamed, confused, disappointed'.
There are those who look at their lives and see only dryness, and a lack
of life and power. They feel ashamed, as if they have failed the Lord
somehow, like a dry rod before the Lord but He is saying that He sees
their hearts, their desparate hunger for Him and as they remain in that
place of yeildedness before the Lord at this time, after He has tested and
tried them He will come to them as the heavy latter rain that waters the
earth, there is an outpouring of His resurrection life that is coming.
In Genesis 1 we read about the first 3rd day. God separated the waters
from the land. He uncovered the ground which had been hidden and spoke
over it and brought forth it's potential, vegetation, plants and fruit
trees each according to its kind. Even so, on this third day, God will be
uncovering his hidden ones, breathing upon them and causing them to reach
their full potential. From deep within the soil of your hearts will spring
up that which will nourish and feed others. There are some that have been
waiting in the wings so to speak all their Christian lives, being moulded
and tried in secret but the day of their revealing is at hand, in the
morning the rod of the man God chooses shall bud!

SEEK TO UNDERSTAND MY VISION
Marsha Burns
"Completely abandon to My plans and purposes, for you can never
achieve anything in My kingdom through your own designs and objectives.
Remove yourself from the equation along with your selfish
motivations, for I tell you, this is not about you. It is about Me. It is
about My intentions for My people.
My ways are higher than your ways, and My thoughts are higher than
your thoughts.
Refrain from designing your own schemes and asking Me to bless them,
and yield to My order, for what I have designed is already blessed.
Seek to understand My vision and then move ahead to fulfill what I
have called you to do. Certainly, I will direct your steps if you will but
yield."
"I WILL CAUSE YOUR EARS TO HEAR WITH PRECISION AND I WILL GUARD YOUR HEART
WITH PEACE"
"Go forth, My people, in boldness. Rise up out of timidity and fear.
Be done with self_focus and short_sightedness. This is a new day, and I am
doing great and mighty things.
The enemy will bring distractions, things to worry about, too many
things to do, but if you will look to Me apart from these distractions, I
will open your eyes and bring clarity to your vision.
I will cause your ears to hear with precision, and I will guard your
heart with peace. For I am looking for those whose total investment is in My
kingdom, those who are available to Me to fulfill My purposes on the earth.
I will not coerce you into faithfulness; I will not beg you to forsake
worldliness, but My call is going forth with an invitation for you to come
and follow Me."
"THE CLOUD IS MOVING"
"Expect change, great sweeping change in all areas. For, I say to
you assuredly, old things have passed away and all things are becoming new.
Even the old things that are worth bringing into this new era will
be transformed and take on the characteristics of progression.
Those areas in your life that you stubbornly cling to and refuse to
yield to this spiritual conversion will become lifeless and historical.
You are but a pilgrim passing through this foreign land on your way
to a City "whose builder and maker is God." And, I tell you that many of you
seek only to find a safe and comfortable place to stop and camp. But, your
spiritual camping places are for the purpose of bringing you into greater
revelation of Me. You cannot camp on revelation of one aspect of My nature
and character and still see the fullness of My purpose.
Believe Me when I tell you that the cloud is moving, and it is time
to strike camp once again.
You must move on to your next destination. But, fear not. I am with
you. I will lead you and direct your steps. Come, courageous hearts; let us
journey together!"
"THIS SEPARATION PROCESS WILL CONTINUE AND INTENSIFY"
"I am drawing you to Myself with greater intensity than you've known
before. This drawing will bring further separation from those who resist
this spiritual pulling. For, I tell you that I have set Myself as a magnet,
and you are being drawn as tailings.
This is a refining process as I continue to separate the precious
from the vile. And, I tell you a mystery - those of you who do not resist
and are drawn to Me also become magnetized as I am and will begin to draw
others to yourselves and to Me.
Those who resist will be repelled, and I tell you that this
separation process will continue and intensify.
Those who think they have chosen safe middle ground and have
remained neutral will have to choose. I tell you, there is no middle ground.
So, let your yes be yes and your no be no. Choose this day who you
will serve."
"YOU MUST REST IN MY PRESENCE"
"You are entering a time where your life will absolutely explode
with diversity. You, My people, are going to break out of old molds that
have confined your gifts, talents and abilities.
Dreams and visions that were once extinguished by discouragement and
lack of opportunity will now become revitalized. For, I say to you, that you
are in the season of resurrection power. What has been dead and buried will
now spring forth with new life and take on new meaning.
Be warned, however, that you cannot do this by your own volition.
That which is being raised up will be by My power, not by your will or
coercion. You must rest in My presence, for I am the resurrection and the life
and what I speak life into shall live! What I bring to pass shall be
established."
"IT WILL NO LONGER DO FOR YOU TO STAY ON THE LAST PLATEAU"
"Come up higher! I am about to release a new level of anointing in
your midst. It will no longer do for you to stay on the last plateau, for I
am doing a new thing, and you will not be able to comprehend it if you don't
come higher.
I hear your question, "How do I do that?" Quiet your soul and seek
Me with greater intensity and focus. I will indeed pour out revelation
knowledge and deeper understanding of My kingdom purposes.
But, you must be in a position to receive what I am about to pour
out. You must press through your comfort zone and step into territory that
is unfamiliar.
I tell you the truth, some of you have remained in old areas of
religious comfort so long that you have gotten stuck there; you are truly
established. But, I say to you, shake yourselves awake; be bold and take the
next step.
I am calling those who are willing to fast to break out of religious
bondage. What I am about to pour out cannot be received where you are."

Vision of the Army
Ken Keating
Crossing the Jordan…
Last week, I had a dream that I'd like to share with you. It's in
keeping with the special time we now experience. The dream speaks to our
preparedness – not just to cross the Jordan, but, more importantly, to our
foreknowledge of what to do when we reach the other side, our Canaan.
Early that day, about 5:00 a.m., while still in bed and probably
half-awake… I watched the Lord's army cross the river. There was little
current at the point of crossing, and no one appeared to be straining to
maintain formation. The conveyance of men-on-foot and equipment through the
water was as a ripple in a pond, with a barely audible splash as the ripple
touched the shore. I perceived that this was a stealth maneuver, even though
it occurred in the daylight.
Once ashore, however, all hell broke loose; that is, the troops
scattered in all directions, without apparent objective or focus – unstable
in all their ways. Many turned and reentered the water – water that was now
over their heads – casting aside their military garb, weapons and provisions
to allow for easy swimming. But none of these made it across the river this
time, apparently choosing, instead, to bob up and down in the turbulence
created by their spastic movements. No trooper helped another, though many
appeared to be near-drowning. All had the look of numbness – insensitive to
their fate as well as to the fate of those in like circumstance.
I was disheartened and tearful. I wondered if I had witnessed but another
religious exercise, destined to failure even before the trumpets sounded.
Then the Lord spoke to me. I can't remember His exact words, as the words
spoke more to my heart than to my ears. This is what I received:
"Don't be distressed. I won't allow history to repeat itself. This time
is different – dramatically so. It's My time, and I will no longer allow the
Father's children to pretend that any land can be taken, any field can be
harvested, any wedding can be attended…without each child first knowing his
mission and the special talents that I've given him to accomplish that
mission.
"I've silenced the motivational speakers, and no one remains to tickle
your ears. As your commission and validation, I speak My anointing into your
lives – signs and wonders. This is your General speaking.
"I no longer countenance timidness among the children. Soon, all the
children will be known for their boldness!
"What general would deploy his troops uninformed? I'm your General, and
you are informed. Each child is part of a company, and each company has
specific functionality. There are those who gather intelligence and develop
battle strategy. There are those who transport supplies and equipment, even
establish base operations. There are those who brandish weapons never before
seen or appreciated. There are those who apply healing ointments –
miraculous cures to the various wounds attending this KINGDOM CONQUEST. Many
companies. Many individual and corporate tasks. One transcendent purpose.
"When the companies arrive on the shore, no one looks back. ALL FORMER
EVENTS ARE FORGOTTEN, supplanted by the promises of present and future
glory. THERE IS ORDER, such as the children have never before experienced.
THERE IS UNITY, of a kind that I petitioned My Father. THERE ARE NO
DESERTERS!"
Join me in a prayer, as the Lord now imparts KINGDOM FOCUS
(single-mindedness) to His Church – each and every member.

WHO WILL RELEASE MY SPIRIT?
Linda Patterson
Early this morning I experienced a cry from the heart of My Father:
"The Spirit of the Lord wants to be released. Who will release My
Spirit? He has been contained in man-made boxes, pushed down and stifled.
Allow Me to move in fire and in power. It is the power of My
resurrection that will set the captives free and My fiery passion will melt
the frozen hearts.
My desire is to have a heart totally submitted to Me. My agenda for
this day is signs, miracles and wonders. Who will be a sign and a wonder for
Me?
My fire and power cannot be found in man-made tradition and
religion. Fresh fire brings life, creativity and strength. Who will be a
fire starter for Me? Who will allow My fresh fire to spread forth to the
nations?
Shaking and sifting, wilderness walking, old wineskins to new are
all part of the process for the releasers of My fire. Fiery passion can
only flow through prepared and yielded vessels.
Road blocks shall be removed. Nothing shall hinder the pathway I
have chosen for My fiery messengers of truth. My Spirit groans and cries out
for release and so shall it be.
1 Thessalonians 5:19 - "Do not put out the Spirit's fire".
Hebrews 12:28-29: "Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot
be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence
and awe, for our God is a consuming fire."

WHAT HAS HE ASKED OF YOU?
Linda Evans
In the bringing of many sons to Glory -- those who share in the Heavenly
Calling, are told to fix their thoughts upon Jesus --- The Apostle -- The High
Priest -- who learned obedience by what He suffered... Who was tempted in all
ways as we are and yet did not sin.... Who was faithful to the One who
appointed Him. The writer of Hebrews gives very clear and pointed counsel to
the many sons being brought to Glory. They will be tested and tried... for
unless there is "perfect resignation and complete detachment from all things
for God Alone" as St. John of the Cross shares from his own experiential
knowledge (epignosis) -- we cannot enter that Perfect Rest, for "perfect
resignation and complete detachment from all things for God Alone" is the
Sabbath Rest for the people of God. In the Old Testament type and shadow of
this entering in, unbelief and disobedience kept the sons from entering that
Rest. Will the many sons being led to Glory, to the Perfect Rest be faithful to
the One who would appoint them? Will they learn obedience by what they too must
suffer? Will they truly lose their soul life for the sake of gaining His Life?
This is the struggle even now. Will we willingly enter that Rest, which is His
Absolute Will in all aspects of our lives... will we let go completely now of
our independence as "the iron enters our soul" [Ps 105]... as His Will becomes
our will, no longer separate, but one... OR will we hold onto the "it" that is
being required?
There is a choice being made even now... at this late hour. Many have held onto
"it"..... wanting "it" and "God's Will"... hoping they will not ever have to
really give "it" up.... yet, by fixing our thoughts upon Jesus, the Son.. we
know all sons will be required to give "it" up, for the sake of the Kingdom....
for the sake of this relationship manifested in Jesus and the Father. A
relationship based upon absolute obedience to the One who appointed Him as "Son
over God's House" ... a relationship disclosed a union of Will.. Jesus praying
to the Father, not My will, but THINE be done.
"See to it brothers, that none of you has a sinful -- unbelieving heart -- that
turns away from the Living God. But encourage one another daily -- as long as
it is called "Today", so that none of you may be hardened by sin's
deceitfulness." [12,13]
While we are holding onto "it", thinking we WILL turn from it and give
ourselves completely over to God 'soon'... we are being hardened... our hearts
are becoming more and more rebellious... even without us knowing, for willful
sin has this effect upon the regenerated heart. The danger is greater than we
sense, for as our hearts are hardening, we sense the danger less and less.
Yet the Lord would say this day, 'turn to Me and I will turn to you. This is
the day of turning... this is the day of choice. Will you enter My Rest? Will
you turn from all things and enter that perfect resignation, knowing I desire
My Will to become your will, that we no longer remain separate. Will you enter
My Rest, resting from your own works, your own created energy's work and lose
all things for the sake of My Name? Will you choose Me.. or will you choose
'it'?
We do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses,
but we have One who has been tempted in every way, just as we are -- yet was
without sin. Let us then approach the Throne of Grace with confidence, so that
we may receive Mercy and find Grace to help us in our time of need. Narrow is
the way... strait is the gate leading to Life... few be that find it. The cost
of discipleship.. the cost of becoming a son is obedience, but the Lord has
promised to be with us in our time of testing -- He has made the way that Grace
and Mercy might flow to all who are entering His Rest through faith and
obedience.
Today if you hear His Voice, do not harden your hearts.. but instead make every
effort to enter that Rest, so that no one will fall by following the example of
"disobedience" but instead let the obedience of sons be manifested in all the
world, as the many sons are led to Glory... those Jesus is not ashamed to call
His brothers... who have also learned obedience by what they have suffered.
Fix your thoughts upon Jesus, whom we confess. He was faithful to the One who
appointed Him.. Christ is faithful as a "Son" over God's House, and we are His
House, if we hold onto the Courage and the Hope of which we boast. Let us
embrace -- in perfect love; perfect truth; perfect peace -- the Will of God,
joyfully surrendering all things unto Him... Let us no longer retain our
independence, but embrace our complete dependence upon Christ Jesus, who is our
Life.
What has He asked of you?

28 And God has appointed these in the church: first
apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that
miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations,
varieties of tongues. (NKJ)
3 how that by revelation He made known to me the mystery
(as I have briefly written on in other places),
4 by which, when you read, you may understand by
knowledge in the mystery of Christ),
5 which in other ages was not made known to the sons of
men, as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to His
holy apostles andprophets: (NKJ)
25 of which I became a minister according to the
stewardship from God which was given to me for you, to
fulfill the word of God,
26 the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from
generations, but now has been revealed to His saints.
27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches
of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is
Christ in you, the hope of glory. (NKJ)
19 My little children, for whom I labor in birth again
until Christ is formed in you, (NKJ)
23 These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom
in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of
the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of
the flesh. (NKJ)
4 And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of
Solomon, the house that he had built,
5 the food on his table, the seating of his servants, the
service of his waiters and their apparel, his
cupbearers,and his entry way by which he went up to the
house of the LORD, there was no more spirit in her.
6 Then she said to the king: "It was a true report which
I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom.
7 "However I did not believe the words until I came and
saw with my own eyes; and indeed the half was not told
me. Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame of which I
heard. (NKJ)
1 Am I not an apostle? Am I not free? Have Inot seen
Jesus Christ our Lord? Are you not my work in the Lord?
2 If I am not an apostle to others, yet doubtless I am to
you. For you are ( saints or people) the seal of my
apostleship in the Lord. (NKJ)
5 For I consider that I am not at all inferior to the
most eminent apostles.
6 Even though I am untrained in speech, yet I am not in
knowledge. But we have been thoroughly manifested among
you in all things.
7 Did I commit sin in humbling myself that you might be
exalted, because I preached the gospel of God to you free
of charge?
9 And when I was present with you, and in need, I was a
burden to no one, for what I lacked the brethren who came
from Macedonia supplied. And in everything I kept myself
from being burdensome to you,and so I will keep myself.
12 But what I do, I will also continue to do, that I may
cut off the opportunity from
those who desire an opportunity to be regarded just as we
are in the things of which they boast.
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. (NKJ)

Servant of the Lord
Prophetic Exhortation
Father, what did you want to tell us about those words?
***
I am sounding the death knoll, beloved. I am sounding it
in the hearing of all who have looked to the world as a
place of refuge. Hear Me when I tell you that the season
is about to change. The days as you have known them are
going to take on a new look - a look that will be
perplexing to those who have not trusted in Me. But the
look will not perplex My beloved, for I have forewarned
you about circumstances changing in your midst. I have
told you to expect change, and I have told you not to look
to the world for your security. I am about to sound the
death knoll to the way the world has gone, and open a
vista of unusual proportions that My beloved will look on,
and embrace. The people of the world will not understand.
They will not know just what it is that has caused this
shattering of the life they once knew. Those who have
looked to the world for visions of security will rise, if
they will seek the Almighty. But those who favor the
world, and will not release their grasp, will see gloom
and devastation overtake, and they will be in the throws
of utter anguish.
