The painting
represents many
spiritual truths and
spiritual insights
in addition to the
obvious one of Noah and
the Ark.
What do you
see?
Please notice
one very important
pictorial here.
There are no
"Big I's" or "Little
you's" in this
painting.
In
fact, all the
participants and their
activities are hidden
from view and only the
works
of
God are depicted. Oh,
you see the ark that
Noah built! Yes,
and it was made
available by God.
The vision and
the pattern was given to
man from God. God spoke
the words to describe
the very
specifics for
building including the
smallest of details.
In this age
of the New Covenant,
Jesus cares, tends to
and protects the Ark
which
comprises the Church of
Jesus Christ. We are to
see and experience the
acts
of
our Heavenly Father on
earth as we travel the
stormy seas!
We
see His Divine
Covenants portrayed by
the workings of the
Holy Spirit!
Where
the gifts of the
Spirit and especially
the miraculous Gifts
are
not
sought, the church
cannot walk in
supernatural power.
Our
charge is to walk by
faith, not by
sight.
The
church was given the
details as to how
God's Kingdom of Light
would be built on the
earth
and given
demonstration of His
patterns for building
the church through the
acts
of
the apostles,
prophets, evangelists, pastors and
teachers.
The
Church is not about
physical buildings, it is about
the spiritual temple
of God.
We
are the temple of God.
Again,
one's future is decided
by who one has chosen to
believe...
Jesus
was sent to
demonstrate the
presence of Heaven on
the earth!
There
are those who do not
believe that Jesus is
the Son of God.
Anything we
do not believe exits
our life!
If
one does not believe
that there is a
universal law of
gravity,
just
try stepping out
of an airplane at
30,000 feet
altitude and
experience
how
life will exit out
of you.
God has
given mankind
universal and
moral laws.
The
Kingdom of Heaven
is regulated by
the Law of the
Spirt of Life!
For
those who
believe in
Christ, we are
to allow Him to
build us by the
Holy Spirit
and
the Word
in the measure
of the stature
of the fullness
of Christ,
Ephesians
4:13 (AMP)
13[That
it might
develop] until
we all attain
oneness in the
faith and in
the
comprehension
of the [full
and accurate]
knowledge of
the Son of
God,
that
[we might
arrive] at
really mature
manhood (the
completeness
of personality
which
is nothing
less than the
standard
height of
Christ's own
perfection),
the measure
of
the stature of
the fullness
of the Christ
and the
completeness
found in Him.
He
has nullified
the Law of Sin
and Death. God
is in control of
all things
through
His
Son, our
wonderful King!
=======================================
Another
painting seen below was
presented on the Revelation
of Light webpage
of the
City of Lights
community relating
to the power of the Ark
of Christ.
It
depicts Jesus with
the disciples crossing the
sea of Galilee as a
temptest storm
suddenly
appeared. Please, take a
moment to view it.
Then
return here....for the
scriptural
account:
Mark
4:35-5:1
( NKJV)
On
the same day, when
evening had come, He
said to them, "Let us
cross over to the
other side."
36
Now when they had left
the multitude, they
took Him along in the
boat as He was.
And
other little boats
were also with Him.
37
And a great windstorm
arose, and the waves
beat into the boat, so
that it was already
filling.
38
But He was in the
stern, asleep on a
pillow. And they awoke
Him and said to Him,
"Teacher,
do You not care that
we are perishing?"
39
Then He arose and
rebuked the wind, and
said to the sea,
"Peace, be still!"
And
the wind ceased and
there was a great
calm.
40
But He said to them,
"Why are you so
fearful? How is it
that you have no
faith?"
41
And they feared
exceedingly, and said
to one another, "Who
can this be, that even
the wind
and
the sea obey Him!"
Mark
5:1
Then
they
came to the other side
of the sea, to the
country of the
Gadarenes.
At
this writing, the
painting below also
depicts the prophetic
hour in which we live.
This
is a prophetic
season in which we
live!
Word
of wisdom...
January 2008
The
church as represented by
arks in both of the
paintings on this page
is going through
troubled
waters. Just as the 1st
century church found
itself immersed in great
persecution
and
complexities, the 21st
century church will
experience a total
shaking and
temptest
storm through which it
will transverse
victoriously! The
tempest wind will cease
at
Christ's command and
there will be peace
resulting from
supernatural changes in
all things.

Only
those who rely on, cling
to and follow the will
of the Father
through
the leading Light of the
Son of God as the Holy
Spirit guides will
emerge
through the spiritual
storm! We are to
be overcomers;
victorious!
Watch
for the same dynamics
to work in the
physical world as
well...
=======================================
For insight into the
severity of the
spiritual warfare
ahead,
be alert to view the
City of Lights
Community message
titled:
You will be
wonderfully enlighten
and blessed
as you explore
these spiritual
enrichments!
=======================================
God works through
a threefold witness.
God is a Person
of Signs, Wonders, and
Miraculous
Works.
We cannot address
each of the Covenants
seen symbolically in the
three
paintings we have
referenced for
now. As you gaze
upon them, please begin
thinking
about the
impressions you receive
as the Holy Ghost makes
the Living Word
stir
within your hearts and
minds.
The
impressions may be
revelation that could be
shared with others
through a variety of
forms
of
communication...such as
emails, blogs, and
forums.
=======================================
Perhaps,
you came to this page
because you declared
within your heart
that
you identified with
Jeremiah and had fire
burning in your
bones.
(Or did you
come by curiosity or
some other path?)
The
fire
is
given that it
may set other
fires and spread
throughout
the world!
God
is a consuming fire!
Have
you watched the fires
of the Santa Ana?
The
Santa Ana
winds are hot,
dry winds that
characteristically
sweep through
in
southern California
and Baja California
in late fall and
winter. We
have great
compassion
for
all those who
suffer and labor
in the midst of
horrendous fiery
winds.
Winds
and fires bring
permanent and
lasting change!
Understanding
of the spiritual
realms

physical
realm.
Receive
of the following
Word of Knowledge:
The heavens are
open and we will
continue to see
dramatic changes in
all things.
The heavens and
the earth are being
shaken!
The early years
of the 21st century
will experience
profound
changes!
It will be a
seasons of years of
new beginnings unlike
those of recent
years.
God will
remove old
foundations that
strong foundations
may replace them to
provide for His will
and His
Ways. Through
the prophet
Jeremiah, we see the
kinds of actions God
has set before
us.
Just as
intense as the
restoration forces
are employed
throughout the
earth, so will be
the creative
powers
demonstrated through
the spiritual
church!
Jeremiah
1:7-12 (AMP)
7 But the Lord
said to me, Say not, I
am only a youth; for
you shall go to
all
to whom I shall send
you, and whatever I
command you, you shall
speak.
8 Be not afraid
of them [their faces],
for I am with you to
deliver you,
says the Lord.
9 Then the Lord
put forth His hand and
touched my mouth. And
the Lord said to me,
Behold, I have
put My words in your
mouth.
10 See, I have
this day appointed you
to the oversight of
the nations and
of
the kingdoms to root
out and pull down, to
destroy and to
overthrow,
to build and to
plant.
11 Moreover, the
word of the Lord came
to me, saying,
Jeremiah, what do you
see?
And I said,
I see a branch
or shoot of an almond
tree
[the emblem of
alertness and
activity, blossoming
in late winter].
12 Then said the
Lord to me, You have
seen well, for I am
alert and active,
watching over My
word to perform it.
These
words apply to the
spiritual actions
loosed for this time
in the earth!
There is an
issue to
address with those
who truly burn
within their bones
as Jeremiah
expressed in Jer.
20:9. The path
to your ministry will
not
be straight, will not be on
calm seas, nor will it
occur immediately
from
the time that God initiates wind
within you by the
stirring of the
Holy
Ghost!
When churches
are established
without being
birthed by the Holy
Spirit,
they are weak
and do not carry
demonstration of the
miraculous.
They may be
strong by man's
design in
governance,
controls, rituals
and
participation.
However,
within the Law
of the Spirit of
Life is a dynamic
Christ centered
church flowing with
the presence
and demonstration
of the Holy
Spirit and
fire! We shall
see the fruit of
these words!
Out
of
the
fire all things
become new!
[end of
word of knowledge]
=======================================
Study the
webpage of TEAM
Leaders for
insight into the
command of
the Lord
regarding the Great
Commission. It
provides the
progression
of the charge
to the church
revealing the
spiritual
applications
regarding
ministry.
Ministry
must have focus and be
seen in proper
perspective.
The
perceptions may be
right, but immature
applications send the
wrong
message.
Let
us view some of these
spiritual principles...
God
set the stage with
Adam. He created
him, set him in a vast
Garden
of
Paradise and instructed
him to work.
Adam
was given the likeness
and image of God and was
instructed
to
have dominion over the
earth.
God
demonstrated His
nature and character
in the creation.
He, Himself
worked!
At the age of
twelve, Jesus is
recorded as saying that he was
active
about
His Father's
business...
He was working
in the affairs of the
Kingdom.
God
has given each of us a
kingdom... it is best
described as
"self."
We
can exercise dominion
through our free will.
However, we are
"New Creations!"
The "Old" should
have passed away and all
things are to become
"New!"
We are destined
and appointed to be
"kings and priests"
unto God.
We are not set
on earth to be kings
over others.
Kingship is the
Supreme order given to
Jesus!
We
are kings unto
ourselves. It is
the rule of our lives
over which God has given
us dominion.
How are
we administrating the
affairs of God within
it?
Adam was not
instructed to have
dominion over others and
to seek fame
and fortune.
God
told him to
1.
Tend,
2.
Guard and
3. Keep the
Garden.
(grab
hold of these 3rd
dimensional
principles...they are
not of intellect, or
muscle... they are of the
power
of the seed of the
Spirit and will play out
in situation after
situation from this day
forth in our lives
through eternity).
Jesus
said He would never
leave or forsake us and
that He would complete
that which He began in us.
We are promised eternal
perfection!
Doesn't sound
like school is out as
yet...does it?
I am looking
forward to the eternal
School of the Prophetic
Voice!
How about you?
.
God's
Garden today is the
Church both corporate
and individual.
Like
Adam, few will work
within it in an obscure
way.
Adam had an
audience... Eve,
the serpent, and
himself.
There was one
obviously missing in
Adam's
perceptions...God!
Adam was to do his work
as unto the Lord.
God came daily to walk
and commune with Adam.
Adam had total
prosperity. He was given
everything but one tree!
Adam
and Eve's perception
changed after their act
of disobedience.
God asked for an
accounting of Adam
(having already read
his mind and
heart).
Adam was hiding.
He had lost the
vision of God.
He found himself naked
and hiding among the
trees. His
nakedness
was due to his
disobedience.
Adam and Eve were
exposed and ashamed of
their nakedness.
Sin had
already placed the
mark of the beast,
"antichrist," on
them.
Did you receive
the rhema Word?
Rhema (ρημα) Greek ; an utterance (indiv.,
collect. or spec.);
by
implication a matter or 'topic' (esp. of
narration, command or
dispute).
Sin
blinds us to our
nakedness in being
unclothed to the
principles
of God. The Bible
tells us that Adam and
Eve's eyes of
understanding
were
opened and they were
aware of their
nakedness.
They
were aware of their
Sin. They knew
they were disobedient.
They
knew there was a
consequence for God
had told them so.
Yet
God, in the fullness of
His love for man, poured
out the blood of two
animals
and
placed the covering
of the sacrifices over
Adam and Eve's flesh.
Their
acts of sin equate to
fleshly acts. God was
merciful to them.
Daily
God had covered them
with His spiritual
presence.
He kept His
covenant promises to
them!
Even in their
time of rebellion, God
gave them a covering.
It was no longer
His personal eternal
spiritual
covering.
Now it was one
that only provided
earthly and temporary
cover.
The earthly
would not stand the
test of the eternal
for it is only
temporal.
Opening
our eyes and hearts to
recognize we need
clothed in God's
righteous
living is the work of
the Holy Spirit.
This
work is an act of Divine
Judgment! Judgment
has two powers.
One works in
regard to
righteousness and the
other works in regard
to
unrighteousness.
Titus
3:3-7 (AMP)
For
we also were once
thoughtless and
senseless, obstinate and
disobedient, deluded and
misled; [we
too were once] slaves to
all sorts
of
cravings and pleasures,
wasting our days in
malice and jealousy
and
envy, hateful (hated,
detestable) and hating
one another.
4
But when the goodness
and loving-kindness of
God our Savior to man
[as
man] appeared,
5
He saved us, not because
of any works of
righteousness that we
had done, but because of
His own
pity and mercy, by [the]
cleansing [bath] of the
new birth (regeneration)
and
renewing of the Holy
Spirit,
6
Which He poured out [so]
richly upon us through
Jesus Christ our Savior.
7
[And He did it in order]
that we might be
justified by His grace
(by
His favor, wholly
undeserved), [that we
might be acknowledged
and counted
as
conformed to the
divine will in purpose,
thought, and action],
and
that we might become
heirs of eternal life
according to [our]
hope.
Adam had lost
the vision that God
had given him through
the Word of
Knowledge. God
spoke forth
the plan for
Adam in very clear
instructions.
Godly
Visions come packaged in
various sizes, shapes,
and dynamics.
They
are from the throne
room! Some are
released in the dreams
of the night.
Some
are daylight open
visions. Some are
reality interactive
spiritual
experiences. They
always testify of the
work of God.
They can be
substantiated in the
scriptures!
The important
aspects of visions are
that they be written
down.
Then comes the
progression formula:
Pray...Plan...Prepare...Pursue.
=======================================
Return with me
to the above painting
of Noah's Ark.
Can
you see the Nature of
God portrayed...
His Kindness,
His Love and His
Mercy?
It requires a
transformed mind of
enlightenment, renewed
from old perceptions,
knowledge, and
thoughts of the world
to do so.
- Many would question
His nature of kindness
when considering that
Adam was sent out of
the Garden.
Adam's actions
resulted in Death and
Curse upon the earth.
- Many would question
how a loving God could
flood the earth and
drown all of mankind
with the exception of
eight souls.
- Many would
question how a
merciful God could
allow His own Son
to experience
crucifixion.
- Many would
question a loving
God allowing
persecutions,
hardships, pain
and suffering to
be inflicted upon
His
people.
Are
you equipped and
prepared to carry
Christ's ministry?
Check out what Apostle
Paul has to say...
Gal.
6:11-18
Why
would a loving God
allow Paul to suffer
as he did?
The
proper thought would
be one as to how
gracious God was
to
keep him alive!
It
is man who inflicts
injury to man.
God
is a kind, loving
and merciful ruler.
God's
ways are not
humanistic ways.
God
does, however,
chastise those Whom
He loves.
{This is
not a popular
message!}
Regardless
of
what we think about
physical events,
God is Good!
God
has a plan for all
generations!
Ephesians
3:20 (AMP)
Now to Him
Who, by (in
consequence of)
the [action of
His] power that is
at work within us,
is
able to
[carry out His
purpose and] do
superabundantly,
far over and above
all that we [dare]
ask or think
[infinitely beyond
our highest
prayers, desires,
thoughts, hopes,
or dreams]--
Ephesians
2:10
(AMP)
For we are
God's [own]
handiwork (His
workmanship),
recreated
in
Christ
Jesus, [born anew]
that we may do
those good works
which
God
predestined
(planned
beforehand) for us
[taking paths
which
He
prepared
ahead of time],
that we should
walk in them
[living
the
good life which He
prearranged and
made ready for us
to live].
God is a Good
God! His ways
are not our ways!
His
kindness, love and mercy
are holy and serious
attributes!
He
brings all things that
submit to him into the
image of Christ Jesus.
God
is an eternal God and we
do not see into the ages
ahead of what
He
has prepared for
us.
Within
the City of Lights
community of The
Prophetic Voice there is
testament after
testament
as
to the kindness and
mercies of God!
=======================================
Jesus told us to
count the costs.
Are
you serious about
ministry?
Do you know
the door is open to
you in a measure
that you can only
receive
by taking an
act of faith and
stepping forward?..
There are many
opportunities!
Let it be known that
God is not
in foolishness
nor is He in acts of
separation from His
Holiness.
God hates acts
of evil and
wickedness.
God rewards obedience
and righteous
acts.
Why
do you think that
God's people, for
the most part, are
too busy
to
provide the graces
given to them for
the work of the
Body?
Did you know that
most of God's people
are "church goers?"
Going
to
church
is not the
principle of
working in the
church.
The
fact
is
that
God is looking for
workers...
Not all of the
apathy can be
placed at the feet
of the saints.
They are in some
part the
casualties of the
"weak" church.
The
strength
of
God is in His Word
and His Holy
Spirit!
There is an
exponential power
in the number of
two in unity!
Why
are their so few
workers?
Is
it due to lack of
knowledge or is it
lack of belief and
conviction?
The Word of God
tells us that the labors
are few. Matt. 9:37-38
Noah
worked for 120 years in
light to build the
Ark. God gave Noah
a command to work!
He
told him to build an Ark.
God did not give Noah
an
army to gather materials
and construct the
Ark. There
were eight.
He gave Him
the "pattern for the
ministry!"
Don't
you know that Noah spent
most of his time in the
forest gathering
supplies
and
provisions? Don't
you know that Noah was
out of sight
on
the inside of the Ark
building strength into
the vessel?
He sealed
the Ark from without
and within.
God
is a practical God and
as such He is not a
respecter to persons
when
it comes to seeking Him
for direction. He is not
a respecter
of
persons with His love
given as a gift of His
Son for our sins.
He
invites all to come to
the Light of His grace!
Whoever
will come to Him through
the Gospel of Christ,
whoever will
obey
His commands and whoever
will seek Him is welcome
to work
in
the Ark... the
church! He has
throughout His recorded
Word shown
us
His ways and His
expectations of
us.
They
are the Life of the
Spirit!
Life
in the Holy Spirit
of Christ is Light!
To
work is a divine
attribute in all that
God has established.
It
requires faith and
commitment to
work. God's grace
is upon work.
He
is not focused on our
works for our own
righteous benefits, but
upon divine work
accomplished
through His Son and the
works of the Holy Spirit
in us that establishes
His righteousness
in the "new creation."
He
has provided all things
and working in this life
on earth is expected of
us.
In the
physical realm, He
blesses the works of
our "hands."
Here
is God's formula to seal
the "ark," the church,
from without and within:
Ephesians
5:8-15
(AMP)
8
For once you were
darkness, but now you
are light in the Lord;
walk
as
children of Light [lead
the lives of those
native-born to the
Light].
9
For the fruit (the
effect, the product)
of the Light or the
Spirit [consists]
in every form of
kindly goodness,
uprightness of heart,
and trueness of life.
10
And try to learn [in
your experience] what is
pleasing to the Lord
[let
your lives be constant
proofs of what is most
acceptable to Him].
11
Take no part in and have
no fellowship with the
fruitless deeds and
enterprises of darkness,
but
instead [let your lives
be so in contrast as
to] expose and
reprove and convict
them.
12
For it is a shame even
to speak of or mention
the things that
[such
people] practice in
secret.
13
But when anything is
exposed and reproved by
the light, it is made
visible
and clear; and where
everything is visible
and clear there is
light.
14
Therefore He says,
Awake, O sleeper, and
arise from the dead, and
Christ shall shine
(make
day dawn) upon you and
give you light.
[Isa
26:19; 60:1,2]
15 Look
carefully then how you
walk! Live
purposefully and
worthily and
accurately,
not
as the unwise and
witless, but as wise
(sensible, intelligent
people),
Walking
in the Light requires
that we learn the
principles of Light
and that
we then take the
actions we have been
instructed. To
learn the principles
we must have
exposure and practice
exercising the
spiritual Gifts of the
Spirit and the
spiritual Fruit of the
Spirit.
The mature fruit
produced through
exercising are the
products :
kindly goodness,
uprightness of heart
and trueness of life!
To
walk in any job, or
profession requires
knowledge,
understanding and
application.
God
has given us the
physical world that we
may comprehend
and
also apprehend the
spiritual realm!
How much heart,
soul, and time go into
prayer, the study of
the Word
and exercise of
its principles in the
Body of Christ?
What
does
this
say
about the heart and
work of the Body?
(Keep in mind we
are not addressing
work in regard to our
salvation, but,
being a Kingdom
worker to expand the
work of Christ in the
earth.)
Let us revisit
Adam and his attitude
toward the light
commands of God?
Adam was to Tend,
Guard
and Keep...
These are 3rd
dimensional spirit
actions.
They are
strengthen by the
Presence of the Holy
Ghost.
Adam
demonstrated
that man even in
God's perfect state
was weak.
We
see the
demonstration of the
"lust of the eye"
and the lust of the
"flesh"
in
the presentation
of the "fruit of
disobedience."
But, the Word
of God has Good News
for us!
God's favor is upon
His children of
light!
He gave us
Enabling Gifts of
the Spirit!
• The
Word of Wisdom
• The
Word of Knowledge
• The
Gift of Faith
•
The Gift of
Discerning of
Spirits
In our bodies we are
weak; in His Spirit we
are made strong!
We exercise
these enabling Gifts
when working
in the presence of the
Holy Ghost.
By the Spirit we are
formed with confidence
in these spiritual
Gifts.
Do
you see how
important it is to
learn of the Holy
Spirit?
He
is a wonderful and
caring Person of
God!
Let the Holy
Spirit speak to
your heart!
We will study
1.
The manifestation
gifts
2.
The equipping
gifts
3.
The body ministry
gifts
given to the
Body for the
purposes of divine
work in the church
fulfilling God's
Great Commission.
God
told Noah that He was
going to flood the earth
and to tell all that
would hear
of the
coming judgment.
Noah preached
repentance!
Father
God has not rescinded
His divine message of
repentance.
Do you hear the
sound of repentance on
our airways and in our
churches preached
today?
It
is an unpopular
message! We can
hear all about Love,
Faith and Prosperity
because it is popular and
we can entertain the
quest
of
men's appetites with
these messages.
Are
these the message of the
Gospel or are these the
messages of
discipleship?
The focus of
Jesus Christ is the
Gospel of Love.
It is the Gospel of
Faith.
It is the Gospel
of prosperity in Life
eternal.
It is the Gospel of
suffering and death
for the redemption of
others!
It is about the power
and work of the Holy
Spirit in the
Resurrection of Life!
God has not
changed His
message. Man has
changed it.
Oh, but we are
now exercising the
move of the Spirit and
we have gone on... leaving
the foundational
teachings behind like
Apostle Paul
instructed in
Heb.
6:1-12...
(AMP)
1
THEREFORE LET us go on
and get past the
elementary stage in the
teachings
and
doctrine of Christ
(the Messiah), advancing
steadily toward the
completeness and
perfection
that
belong to spiritual
maturity.
Let
us not again be laying
the foundation of
repentance and
abandonment
of
dead works (dead
formalism) and of the
faith [by which you
turned]
to
God,
2
With teachings about
purifying, the laying on
of hands, the
resurrection from the
dead, and eternal judgment
and punishment.
[These are all
matters of which you
should have been fully
aware long, long ago.]
KEEP
IN
MIND... Paul is
talking to the
Church, the "New
Creation."
This
is a discipleship
teaching
message.
It
is not the message
the unsaved soul
needs until
conversion.
Once
transformed...
Then, the "baby
creation" needs the
milk of
Hebrews
6:1-12.
3
If indeed God permits,
we will [now] proceed
[to advanced teaching].
4
For it is impossible [to
restore and bring again
to repentance] those
who
have been once for all
enlightened, who have
consciously tasted
the
heavenly gift and have
become sharers of the
Holy Spirit,
5
And have felt how good
the Word of God is and
the mighty powers
of
the age and world to
come,
6
If they then deviate
from the faith and turn
away from their
allegiance--
[it
is impossible] to bring
them back to repentance,
for (because, while,
as
long as) they nail upon
the cross the Son of God
afresh
[as
far as they are
concerned] and are
holding [Him] up to
contempt and shame and
public disgrace.
7
For the soil which has
drunk the rain that
repeatedly falls upon it
and
produces
vegetation useful to
those for whose benefit
it is cultivated
partakes
of
a blessing from God.
8
But if [that same soil]
persistently bears
thorns and thistles,
it
is considered worthless
and near to being
cursed, whose end
is
to be burned. [Gen
3:17,18.]
9
Even though we speak
this way, yet in your
case, beloved, we are
now firmly
convinced
of better things
that are near to
salvation
and
accompany it.
10
For God is not
unrighteous to forget or
overlook your labor and
the love
which
you have shown for His
name's sake in
ministering to the needs
of
the saints (His own
consecrated people), as
you still do.
11
But we do [strongly and
earnestly] desire for
each of you to show the
same diligence
and sincerity
[all the way through] in
realizing and enjoying
the full assurance
and
development of [your]
hope until the end,
12
In order that you may
not grow disinterested
and become [spiritual]
sluggards,
but
imitators, behaving
as do those who through
faith
(by
their leaning of the
entire personality on
God in Christ in
absolute trust and
confidence
in
His power,
wisdom, and goodness)
and by practice
of
patient endurance and
waiting are [now]
inheriting the
promises. (AMP)
=======================================
Here is the
part that we must
keep in proper
perspective:
"If they then
deviate from the
faith and turn away
from their
allegiance--
[it is
impossible] to bring
them back to
repentance, for
(because, while,
as long as) they nail
upon the cross the
Son of God afresh
[as far as
they are concerned]
and are
holding [Him] up to
contempt
and shame and
public disgrace."
God is serious
about His
business...the
Kingdom of Heaven!
It is time for
the watchmen to
trumpet the
warnings!
It is time
to trumpet the
Full Gospel of the
Good News!
It is time
to identify the
spiritual gifts
and to disciple
the church in
their use!
=======================================
Noah's
acts of righteous work
and righteous preaching
saved Noah and his
family!
Noah
practiced what he
preached!
God
has a Plan for each of
our lives. It is
called Divine Destiny.
Our
Father has made it known
what to expect when we
engage in a life
of
moral deeds and
righteous acts.
Our destiny is to walk
in Righteousness...
conformity
to the divine
Will and Purposes of
God.
He
has provided great
rewards of Life in His
eternal Light.. today as well as
from eon to eon.
(age to age)
The Kingdom of
Heaven is a Now
reality!
It is not set
for some future
presupposed time.
Jesus is
alive and He reigns
in Heaven, today!
Heaven has
come to earth.
We walk in Heaven as
we walk with the
Word and the Spirit!
The Bible
states Psalm
22:25-31
AMP
25 My praise
shall be of You in the
great congregation. I
will pay to Him my
vows
[made in the
time of
trouble] before them
who fear (revere and
worship) Him.
26 The poor and
afflicted shall eat
and be satisfied; they
shall praise the
Lord--they who
[diligently]
seek for,
inquire of and for
Him, and require Him
[as their greatest
need].
May your hearts
be quickened
now and forever!
27 All the ends
of the earth shall
remember and turn to
the Lord,
and all the
families of the
nations shall
bow down and worship
before You,
28 For the
kingship and the
kingdom are the
Lord's, and
He is the
ruler over the
nations.
29
All the mighty ones upon
earth shall eat [in
thanksgiving] and
worship;
all
they that go down to the
dust shall bow before
Him, even he who cannot
keep himself alive.
30
Posterity shall serve
Him; they shall tell of
the Lord to the next
generation.
31
They shall come and
shall declare His
righteousness to a
people yet to be born--
that
He has done it [that it
is finished]!
John
19:30 KJV
30 When Jesus
therefore had received
the vinegar, he said,
It is finished:
and he bowed his
head, and
gave up the
ghost.
The
3rd Day He was
resurrected!
=======================================
Within the Inner
Chambers of the Prophetic
Voice website ...
a study has been
prepared on the topic
of suffering
and grief.
Within this
study is a series of
proofs that Jesus is
alive and describes
both His
physical and spiritual
body as recorded in
the Bible!
=======================================
Adam received a
threefold positive
(Light of Life)
command from God and
then received
one
(Holy Darkness)
command.
1. Tend
2.
Guard
3.
Keep
4.
Do not eat
The Tree of
Knowledge of Good and
Evil; also rendered as
"The Tree of Knowledge
of Blessing and
Calamity" from the
original Hebrew.
(More
on
the topic of the
"Mystery of
Darkness" in webpage
listed in the Inner
Chambers of
The
Prophetic Voice).
Adam chose the
negative. He
chose to enter the
realm of the "Mystery
of Darkness."
He chose what
seemingly was the
pleasurable route for
the day.
(Mankind
without the Light of
Christ walks the
daily fallen path of
Adam,
a path of darkness.)
Adam
was not enlightened to
the powers embodied
within God's Tree
of
Knowledge of Blessing
and Calamity until his
disobedience.
There
was a "protective
darkness" God had hidden
His secrets and
mysteries of knowledge
within.
It
requires the Light of
Truth to unveil
that
which is contained in
the realm of
Darkness.
Once Adam and Eve had
eaten of the spirit
of disobedience,
their nakedness of sin
was revealed.
Please do not
get confused in these
spiritual principles.
God
is supreme in both Holy
Light and Holy
Darkness.
Satan
functions in a
"perversion of
darkness."
His
rule is confined to
darkness of evil: to
kill, steal and destroy
through
evil
spiritual applications
in the lives of mankind.
Satan's ways
lead to decrease and
death. Adam and
Eve died to the
Spirit.
They
entered the power and
dominion realm of
darkness: Satan's
rule.
Christ the
Light of the world,
exposes demonic
darkness.
His
marvelous light
separates our soul and
spirit from the
darkness ...
revealing
the
righteous ways of the
Father of
lights!
God's
ways result in
Increase and Life!
Isaiah
45:6-7 (AMP)
6
That men may know from
the east and the rising
of the sun and from the
west
and
the setting of the sun
that there is no God
besides Me. I am the
Lord, and no one else
[is He].
7 I form the
light and create
darkness, I make peace
[national well-being]
and I create
[physical] evil
(calamity); I am the
Lord, Who does all
these things.
Recall that two
spiritual powers were
contained within the
Tree of Knowledge
of Blessing
and Calamity.
Blessing releases
increase.
Calamity
releases
decrease. The
earth is subject to
the Laws
of the
Universe.
Blessing and calamity
are powers released
through these
Laws.
There shall
always be the law
Seedtime and Harvest
as long as the earth
remains.
Adam ate of a
spiritual fruit that
produced after its own
kind.
The "eating" or
action sown was that
of
disobedience.
The act
resulted in
spiritual separation
from
God.
God
separated His Holy light
from the darkness of
unrighteousness...evil.
We
see it everyday. It is
in the daily example of
man's inhumanity to man.
It is in the
multitude of crime and
violence everywhere in
the world.
These
manifestations are
demonstrations of
"evil."
Evil
does not exist unto
itself. Evil is
simply the absence of
God.
God did not
create spiritual evil.
Evil
is the result of what
happens when man does
not have God's love
present in his
heart.
It's
like the cold that comes
when there is no heat
or
the darkness that comes
when there is no light."
God is Light.
Light has nothing to
do with
darkness.
He separated the
Light commands from the
darkness of disobedience
command
which
aborted man's
access to the power
principles of the Light
commands:
Tend,
Guard
and Keep
the Kingdom of God on
earth.
The
darkness of
disobedience
resulted in a
transformation of
power
and
dominion from man to
Satan.
Satan
is not a steward of
life...he is the
steward of
destruction and
death.
The
Transfer
of Dominion
Without the abiding
Presence of God,
judgment with
curses, calamity and
evil replaced the "good
seed" of the commands of
Light.
Recall
in Genesis 1:3-4 that
Light is the first
Command of God!
The Holy Spirit
hovered upon the void
without form!
God
brought form (Order)
forth as the creation
when He spoke by
decree!
He brought those
things hoped for and
not seen through
declaration
and exercise
of faith into
physical
substance;
manifested
observable works of
the Spirit!.
Light was
separated from the
darkness and God
called the Light good!
Did
you know? In the
Kingdom of Light,
today...
We
have
the manifested
observable works of
the Holy
Spirit!
Adam
came from lifeless
resources. Without the
protection and cover of
Light,
Adam
was destined to return
to the dust from which
he was formed.
It
was the 'breath' of the
Spirit of Life that made
Adam to be quickened
into
the Light of Life... a
living being.
Without the
Light's covering, Adam
was destined to die.
Without the covering
of the Light of Jesus
Christ, we are
destined to die
an eternal
death! These are
eternal physical and
spiritual
principles!
Sin
is the act that
separates the Light of
Life from man...
Righteousness,
the commandment of
Light, provides
Life
(being
in right standing
with God renewed of
spirit and alive
forever
in the abiding
Light of God ).
=======================================
Restoration
of Dominion to Man
came by the Second
Adam.
The
Kingdom of Heaven on
earth was
re-established
through the finished
works of Jesus
Christ.
Jesus is the Light
and He revealed the
Father and the
Kingdom!
For
the commandment is a
lamp; and the law is
light;
and
reproofs of instruction
are the way of
life Prov
6:23 (KJV)
He
that keepeth the
commandment keepeth his
own soul; but he that
despiseth his ways shall
die.
Prov
19:16 (KJV)
© By
Artist
Adam male
and female instantly
died to the Light of
God.
They found
themselves naked without
the covering and favor
of God. The
act of disobedience and
the act
of making their own
covering were the
first two acts of
humanism... taking
actions
by the senses,
intellect and designs of
man. Humanism
creates that which is
pleasurable
and wanton
to the
eye and the
senses. It
exercises its own
restraints based upon
its presupposed
goals to
fulfill its self
determined
objectives.
Humanism knows no
boundaries in care,
tending
or protecting
life. It exists to
support its ever
changing rules in quest
of dominion power.
The
sacrifice of blood is
demonstrated in sealing
God's Covenants.
God
prophetically
demonstrated His will
and His ways for the
covering
of man's
sins when He sacrificed
the life
giving blood of
two animals
for
covering Adam and
Eve. The two
coverings are
representative of
1. the
Law of animal
sacrifice given to the
physical nation of
Israel
for
covering their sins;
2. and
the Lamb
sacrifice of Jesus
Christ
for
covering the sins of the
spiritual nation of
Israel the spiritual
church.
Both
required the
sacrifice of flesh.
Two
represents both division
and unity.
Adam and
Eve's covering is a
"type" and "shadow" of
the Covenant that God
would establish
through
Abraham the "father of a
multitude."
All
nation's would be
blessed through a
blood Covenant.
God
demonstrated His
Covenant through the
miracle birth of Isaac
and later
through the provision of
a sacrificial lamb.
Through
Isaac's son, Jacob
(Israel), God
established His natural
nation
of
priests and kings. These
are a peculiar people
who by blood sacrificial
offerings
received
covering of sins by God.
Eve's
covering symbolically
represented the Covenant
God would
establish
as the Church... the mother
of all life.
She
represents the maternal
church in which the
miracle birth of the
eternal spiritual
"new
creation" is
manifested. Jesus,
the second Adam also
born
by
miracle, is given as the
blood sacrifice to cover
the sins of all mankind
past,
present and future. God
established His
spiritual nation of
priests
and kings
through this supreme
blood sacrifice of His
Son once and for all.
The
spiritual nation
(Spiritual Israel) are a
peculiar people who by
spiritual sacrificial
offerings
of thanksgiving and
praises receive eternal
life covering by God.
By
the Holy Spirit of
God, the Curse is
reversed through
Christ!
He gave mankind access
to the Tree of Life
which had been guarded
and protected in
Paradise.
Genesis
3:24
(AMP)
24
So [God] drove out
the man; and He
placed at the east
of the Garden
of
Eden the cherubim
and a flaming sword
which turned every
way,
to
keep and guard the
way to the tree of
life. [Rev 2:7;
22:2,14,19.]
God separated
Adam and Eve from the
Light!
He sent man
out of Paradise, never
again to return in the
flesh.
They
entered spiritual
darkness the moment they
disobeyed God's command
of light and life.
Several
hundreds of years later,
Adam also died
in the
physical realm and his
life substances returned
to their original
source...
the dust
of the earth.
Man was cut off from the
covering of Light.
He
entered a life of
darkness without the
presence of God to
assist him.
=======================================
Darkness
is referenced 159 times
in the Holy Word of
God.
The
darkness that causes
spiritual disobedience
is separated from the
Light and
Life. Acts of
obedience... Life, Truth
and Spirit are
Light.
In these
there is no
shadow. A shadow
is darkness.
Darkness
is always separated from
the light!
Life,
Truth and Spirit are
multi-dimensional and
have multiple spiritual
applications
in
Light's domain.
(We will study
these over the course
of the Prophetic
School.)
There is
"darkness." which is an
unholy darkness.
It is one
of deception,
destruction and
death.
Satan
presented "perverted"
aspects of the Tree
of Knowledge of
Good
and
Evil. He
came as an "angel of
light" concealed in
"wicked darkness."
The fruit
of the Tree of Knowledge
of Good and Evil was
presented by Satan as
being
Pleasant
to the Eye and Good for
which to Take
Possession.
He
"painted" an image of
deception; a perverted
perception of good and
power.
His
cunning presentation
appealed to Eve's
human sensual nature.
Satan
presented a humanistic
lifestyle to Adam and
Eve.
Every
aspect of his
conversation guised as
a serpent focused the
conversation upon
elevating
self.
The
underlying spiritual
principle was Pride.
It was the same spirit
that caused Lucifer
and a
third of the angels of
heaven to be cast out.
Note
that God is consistent
with how He handles
disobedience to the
rules
of the
Light of Truth, Light
of Life and Life of
the Spirit.
He
casts it away,
separates it from the
Light...Separates it
from His Presence!
Have
you ever gone into a
space where there is
no light
source?
Just
imagine
living
in that space
twelve months.!
Do
you have any
idea what would
happen to you?
God
has
set an eternity of
darkness for those
who will not
recognize the
provisions
He has made of Light
through His Word and
Spirit.
He is
not going to
remember them.
They shall never
experience Light,
His
presence again...
eternally.
Did
you know your
future is decided
by who you have
chosen to believe?
We
have just examined
the faithful actions
of God in regard to
his
command
of darkness. Do
you better
understand how faith
works?
Faith
is contained in
the '"seed" of the
Word. It is
governed by Law.
God
is the Law
maker. He
tends, guards and
keeps His
Universal
Law
of Seedtime and
Harvest. Do
you better
understand how faith
works?
Let
me help
you... faith
works through One
Word!
"Obedience"
The Bible
discloses:
God is the God of
Faith... have
faith in God!
=======================================
Eve
rationalized the
benefits presented by
the Serpent, (Satan)
as good
to eat from the Tree of
Good and Evil. She acted upon
the lies.
In
believing Satan, she
discounted the power of
the Truth of God's Word.
Adam
had told her what God
had instructed him
about the only tree in
the Garden
that
was not to be used for
food. God
had invited Adam and
Eve
to eat
of the Tree of
Life!
Genesis
2:16-17 (AMP)
And the
Lord God commanded the
man, saying, You may
freely eat of every tree
of the garden;
17 But of
the tree of the
knowledge of good and
evil and blessing and
calamity you shall not
eat,
for in
the day that you eat of
it you shall surely die.
Jesus
is the Tree of
Life! The
spiritual implications
here are that the Lord
Jesus
addressed
spiritual food
to 70 disciples.
John
6:54-56 (AMP)
54
He
who feeds on My
flesh and drinks My
blood has (possesses
now) eternal life,
and I
will raise him
up [from the dead]
on the last day.
55
For
My flesh is true and
genuine food, and My
blood is true and
genuine drink.
56
He
who feeds on My
flesh and drinks My
blood dwells
continually in Me,
and I
[in like manner
dwell continually]
in him.
They were
to eat of His flesh,
"Bread of Life..His
Word,"
and drink of
His blood, "The
Source of Life.. the
Wine," His Spirit.
1 Cor
11:24 (AMP)
This is My
body, which is broken
for you.
1 Cor
11:25 (AMP)
This
cup is the new
covenant [ratified
and established] in
My blood.
The New
Covenant is the
promise of Eternal
Life in the Spirit
realm.
1 Cor 15:50 (AMP)
But
I tell you this,
brethren, flesh and
blood cannot [become
partakers
of
eternal salvation
and] inherit or
share in the kingdom
of God;
nor
does the perishable
(that which is
decaying) inherit or
share
in
the imperishable
(the immortal)
1 Cor 15:53 (AMP)
For
this perishable
[part of us] must
put on the
imperishable
[nature],
and this mortal
[part of us, this
nature that is
capable of dying]
must put on
immortality (freedom
from death).
What we
feed our spirit minds
upon is what
determines the actions
that we
choose to take.
Who we chose to
believe determines our
future...
our
destiny! We are
to take of both the
Bread and the Wine..
We are to
discern the spirits and
feed only upon the Lamb
of God
(spiritual
meat/truth) while
walking by the Spirit
and worshipping God
in the
Spirit of Holiness!
We must
be spiritually
discerning of the
cunning "darkness" that
comes
to
deceive and conquer
us. Only God's
Light of the Word and
His Holy
Spirit have given us
spiritual discernment to
recognize and
expose
dark acts of evil and
wickedness.
What
fruit are you looking
to possess and feed
upon?
The Holy Spirit
gives us nine of the
Tree of Life!

God is a
Living God of
mobility! Nothing
Happens until Something
Moves!
When God
moves, the heavens and
the earth are
shaken!
Mankind
has such little
conception...
of the
precious, wonderous,
and marvelous Holy
Spirit!
The third
Person of the Godhead,
the precious Holy Ghost,
works in a three
dimensional
power
to bring
Wisdom of Light
regarding the Kingdom of
God.
He is
Spirit and His acts are
spirit! We receive
from God by Spirit and
Truth.
He
enlightens! He
illuminates! He
reveals! His work
is not done through
conventional
intellectualism.
He declares, discloses,
transmits,
and
transforms
spiritual understanding!
Read the
account when "God
Moves," Book of Job and
his three friends.
Then,
read about David,
Gideon, Moses, Noah,
Enoch, Elijah, Elisha,
Isaiah,
Ezekiel,
Daniel, Jeremiah, Paul
and the list goes
on...
See Hebrews
eleventh chapter!
=======================================
Noah was
the first man to receive
a threefold witness of
God's Master Plan for
his life!
As with
Adam, the first of God's
Witness to Noah came in
the
form of a
Divine Command. God is
a Holy God. He is
the God of Light!
He
speaks His heart
in every matter
through His
two-fold creation:
the
heavens and the
earth!
Matt 18:16b... so
that every word may
be confirmed
and
upheld by the
testimony of two or
three
witnesses.
(AMP)
God
cannot reward evil's
darkness. Remember the
recording of the
most
glorious
cheribum in
Heaven.
Lucifer
turned his attention
upon his personal
glory. You know
the rest...
War broke out
in Heaven!
God cast him out of
heaven. Want to see
the Antichrist?
He is revealed as the
spirit of darkness,
in rebellion and war
that fills the earth.
His mission is to
steal, kill and
destroy.
God has given the
supernatural work of
the Holy Spirit to
enlighten
our "eyes of
understanding" in the
gift of Discerning of
spirits.
Satan is
uncovered!
=======================================
As you
pursue the righteous
actions leading to
"your" ministry destiny,
God will
bless His people!
The blessings will come
through the "works"

hands and the Word

mouth.
God has
given you spiritual
weapons in your mouth
and in both of your
hands!
Destiny
for each of us
and millions of others
are in our possessions!

of the Truth, Life and
Spirit of God!
We
are
in
spiritual
warfare! (see:
Ephesians
Chapter 6)
=======================================
All of mankind
will stand before the
Judge of the Eternal
Universe!
God has
made the Way to be in
right standing with
Him today!
We do not
have to wait.
What can
we do to serve the Lord
to reach those who have
heard the message of
salvation
but are
not living within...
the Ark of the
Covenant of Jesus
Christ?
What can
we do to serve the Lord
to reach those who have
not as yet
heard the
apostolic message of the
Good
News?
The
answer: Work in unity of
purpose for these Divine
appointments.
This is the
essence of Heart of
God Ministries
International.
=======================================
Holy
Spirit...please turn
up the Fire!
Change us Lord!
Purify our hearts and
strengthen us to walk
in the fullness of
your Light.
Show us some more,
Lord!
=======================================
The Ark
was to bring blessings
to the future
generations of God's
creation.
The Ark
provided safety,
security and Divine
cover during a time when
God's Universal
Judgment
was administrated to a
world steeped in the
darkness
of
wickedness and
sin.
(note;
the study of the ARK is
a glorious deep and wide
revelation of God's Son,
David's
Greater Son. It is
a rich treasure filled
with the Plan of God for
mankind!)
Universal
judgment is still waging
war against the darkness
of
wickedness and
sin. The church is
the instrument of the
Ark of salvation
for those
who will enter in and
partake of the Goodness
of God!
God's second
Witness to Noah was
His Divine Promise
that He would not
again send a flood
or
deluge to destroy all
wicked life upon
earth.
Do you
ever ask why there is
so much wickedness on
the earth today?
Jesus
reveals God's Plan for
Man in regard to this
matter.
God has
preserved fire for the
next round of Universal
Judgment.
Fire is
in the earth
today! As the
winnowing fan, the
person, Holy Ghost
whom
Jesus promised to send
to lead and guide
mankind into the
Kingdom of God
is
being poured out upon
flesh around the
world!
We must
learn to understand
the spiritual
applications of the
Word.
The Curse has
been reversed!
Every
knee shall bow and every
tongue confess that
Jesus is the ruling
King of Heaven
and earth!
Today...Now!
The
Father has declared
it! He has made
the way through His Son!
Note: God
told Noah He would not
again use a flood to
destroy wicked
sinful
mankind. He did
not say that he was
changing His plan for
the Ages.
In fact,
God is totally committed
to a people full of Joy
in His Spirit living
in the
Covenant of
Righteousness.. He
personally appended His
message
to
mankind on Rock... His
first witness: the 10
Commandments!
The second
witness: Jesus the
Rock of our salvation!
He extended His
finger with Moses;
He
extends His whole
right hand with Jesus
Christ!
How many can
we round up to board
into the Ark of the
Light of Life?
Has God put
a "like kind" vision
in your heart?
Opportunity
abounds!
Ministers
on Fire... Are you
available?
=======================================
God's third
Witness to
Noah was His Divine Covenant
Word!
He
manifested this
Covenant through
Light!
It
appeared as a bow or
rays of colorful light
in the
clouds!
My bones
are on fire!
What about
yours?
Are you
receiving illumination
in the Spirit?
God
showed Himself in the
Glory of the
Clouds...
Jesus
ascended in the clouds
of Glory
and comes
in the clouds of
Judgment.
There is a
FINAL DAY!
The bow
was a sign...
God would
never again destroy the
Earth by a flood.
He has
reserved fire for the
Final Judgment.
Read the account of the
Holy Ghost :
Look
at what happens!!
HE
has come,
HE
convicts the world
of SIN,
and
of RIGHTEOUSNESS,
and of JUDGEMENT:
of Sin,
because they do not
believe in Me;
of
Righteousness,
because
I
go to My Father and
you
see Me no more;
of Judgment,
because the ruler of
this world is
judged.
Good works will
remain and receive
rewards.
Unrighteous
works will be
destroyed and those
who deny Him
shall
be cast into an
eternal darkness and
the Lake of Fire!
Please
don't
revert
to literal
intellectual thinking!
Have
we heard in this
message from the Word
of God and the Spirit
of God
about
spiritual language and
spiritual
truths?
The darkness is the
separation of a soul and
its spirit from the
Light of God.
God removes His
Light!
He is the one who has
dominion!
He is the ruling God
through His Son, King
Jesus!
1
Corinthians
2:13 (AMP)
We
are setting these
truths forth in words
not taught by human
wisdom
but
taught by the Holy
Spirit ,
combing
and
interpreting with
spiritual language
[to those
who possess the Holy
Spirit.]
=======================================
We are
going to experience God
in a spiritual
flood!
He will
come as rain and flood
the earth with the Light
of Life!
It will not be a flood
of Redemption.
Some call it Revival!
We are also
going to begin
experiencing more of the
Fire of the Holy Spirit!
His winnowing fire shall
baptize in the Holy
Ghost!
Note:
Prophetic Word of
Knowledge:
released by the Spirit
of God January 2007
When Heaven
moves...the earth
shakes!
The
physical shakes will
magnify...
Spiritual
earth
shall
shake ...O'man of
earth!
Man's
systems
and modes of life
without Christ will be
shaken!
Both
blessing
and calamity shall be
increased!
Prepare
to
see the same dynamics
in the physical world
that
God is releasing
within the spirit
realms!
Demonstration
has
come
upon the earth!
Water,
Fire,
Wind,
Wine...
Watchmen
blow
the trumpets!
This
is a year of
Jubilee...A year of
Double Portion!
This
is a year of
perfecting!
Delivered
through Ron Gann
Luke
3:16-18 (AMP)
John
answered them all by
saying, I baptize you
with water;
but He
Who is mightier than I
is coming, the
strap of Whose sandals I
am
not fit
to unfasten. He
will baptize you with
the Holy Spirit and with
fire.
His
winnowing shovel (fork)
is in His hand to
thoroughly clear and
cleanse
His
[threshing] floor and to
gather the wheat and
store it in His granary,
but the
chaff He will burn with
fire that cannot be
extinguished.
So with
many other [various]
appeals and admonitions
He
preached the Good News
(the Gospel) to the
people.

Remember,
there are three
objectives for which
the Person, Holy Ghost
was sent...
His purpose:
- Convict the world
- Convince the world
- Demonstrate to the
world
His
message:
- About sin
- About Righteousness
- About Judgment
His
ministry:
- He will guide you
into all Truth...Jesus
and the Father are one
in unity of
purpose, thought and
action.
- He will tell you
whatever He hears from
the Father.
- He will declare to
you the things that
are to come {what will
happen in the future}.
HE IS THE
THIRD PERSON OF THE
GODHEAD!
THE THIRD DIMENSION!
He re-presents
The KINGDOM of HEAVEN to
us!
He transcends Heaven and
Earth!
RIGHTEOUSNESS
and PEACE
and JOY
in the HOLY GHOST!
Hopefully,
you
are
being enlightened by
this letter of the
heart.
Our
"Father of Lights" not
only enlightened Noah's
understanding
so that
he could comprehend the
coming disastrous
deluge, but He also
enlightened
Noah's
understanding
to build the Ark so that
it would float!
Will
the ministry that is
in your heart float?
There
are many ministries
that are active and
busy about
business.
Many
have the appearance
of an "Ark" of the
Covenant but there
is no power within
there walls.
Pardon
me, I stand
corrected.
There
is the earthly
dominion power of
men working within
the walls.
However,
there is no evidence
of the presence and
working power of the
Holy
Spirit!
Noah's Ark
provided safety so
that the appointed
life housed in the Ark
would be
preserved.
A team of eight
individuals worked
in unity to care for
those housed within
it.
Are you team
oriented?
The Ark
of Jesus Christ provides
safety for us today and
each day
eternally.
It
provides great rewards
of blessing and
enrichment while we work in our divine
schedule
God has
appointed to each of us
on earth.
Prior to
God's Great Universal
flood in Noah's day,
the earth had
never seen rain.
The earth had
been watered by a mist
coming out of the
ground.
In the "mind of
man" God's ways were
not acceptable.
Noah,
what is all this
fuss about rain and
repentance?
Can you hear
them confronting Noah
with there
unbelief?
"What is
rain?" "What is an
Ark?
"Are you crazy Noah?
Noah this is
what we think about
you and your God
message...
##!!**^^>>""&&%%##@!!
The minds and
hearts of most of
mankind are on the
tangible!
Father God wants
us to focus on the Light
of the Spirit.
Jesus instructed
that as we seek first
the Kingdom of God and
His Righteousness that
all other things will be
provided to us.
He
has sent the Holy
Spirit!
In Christ all things
of Righteousness
dwell!
In the Holy Spirit all
things of
Righteousness are
revealed!
He is the Spirit of
the Living God!
Do you have a
deep relationship with
the Holy Ghost?
Do
you even know Him?
He will reveal Jesus
Christ to you in a very
personal way.
=======================================
God has
some things He wants us
to do in faith.
He has
some new things in store
for those who come
together to work in
unity
on His
behalf. He has
some signs, wonders and
miracles He wants to
work through us!
The Ark
was a sign.
The Star
of Bethlehem of Judea
was a sign that God's Son
had come to earth. Thirty years
later,
Jesus
proclaimed the Good News
of the Day of the
Lord
fulfilled.
The promise of the
Messiah
was
standing in front of
them!
The
Kingdom of God had come
to earth!
The King
was in the midst of the
people!
Jesus did
not rescind the
Kingdom. Jesus
Christ sits in Heavens
throne room
to the
right hand of the
Father.
God sent
the Holy Ghost to
empower His work within
believers on the
earth!
The
"Lord's Prayer" is
progressive...it is
being fulfilled through
the work of the
Cross!
Today,
Today, Today!!!
The
awesome technology of
digitally connecting
the whole world is a
sign!
It is the sign of the
time for the Work of
the Great Harvest!
=======================================
1 Corinthians
12:28
In
various places and
different manners, God
has appointed some in
the church [for His own
use]:
first
apostles, (special
messengers); second
prophet (inspired
preachers and
expounders);
teachers;
then wonder workers; then those with
ability to heal the
sick; helpers;
administrators; [speakers in]
different (unknown)
tongues.
We are back to
appointment again!
This time
we are speaking in
spiritual language about
these spiritual
truths.
Some deny
the power described in
this scripture of 1
Corinthians 12:28.
Some will not
accept 21st century
apostles and prophets.
Many will not accept
the miraculous gifts!
Some do not deny God
heals, but deny that
God gives any
spiritual gift that
allows man to heal by
the power of God
within.
It is
only because of
ignorance and lack of
zeal to study the Word
of God
in the
presence of the Holy
Spirit that one would
deny God's provisions.
It is one
of those "religious
things."
You know what I
am talking about...
Man's
ways, Man's religious
structures, Man's do's
and don'ts.
Man's misinterpretations
that are now "gospel"
doctrine.
=======================================
Back to Noah!
The men
of Noah's day were
curious.
They were
drawn to see what Noah
was doing.
They heard
the special message
of repentance
preached for 120
years!
They were not hard
of hearing, they
were hard-hearted.
The Good
News of salvation
through repentance and
God's free Gift of Grace
through
His Son, Jesus Christ,
has been being preached
for 2000 years! There is
no other message!
The Kingdom of
Heaven is Here!
The Light
of Truth states that
when we lift up the Name
of Jesus...
He will draw
men to Him.
He tells how He will
do it...
Conviction by the Holy
Ghost!
The
Person Holy Ghost is
live and well
regardless of
anyone's denial of
Him!
Judgment is
a spiritual and a
physical reality set
for a Final Day.
What
is your appointed
Final Day on the
earth?
Noah warned the
people. John the
Baptist warned
Israel.
Jesus was sent
and spoke the
apostolic message of
the Father.
Jesus has
warned all of mankind
through His teachings
and demonstrations
both while on earth
and as King of all
things... Today!!
He also has
built the Ark to take
us all aboard and keep
us afloat for
eternity!
Have you entered into
its full supplies?
God had Noah equip the
Ark for the mission.
Noah leaned upon the Lord
for all of his
understanding !
Noah built the Ark
according to the
pattern, the way,
given to him by God!
Jesus came to give us
the pattern, the way,
to enter the Eternal
Ark of God!
God let
Noah tell the people of
His imminent
Judgment.
They
chose to ignore, they
scoffed, they mocked,
they blasphemed
Noah.
They took
no heed to his warnings
and his preaching of
righteousness.
The bible
records only eight
people who worked on the
massive task of building
the Ark for God's
creatures.
This is a physical look
at what God had in mind
centuries ahead!
The
account of Noah
figuratively
demonstrates what God
had planned
for the
future through His Son!
Jesus
would become the
Ark...the mode of
safety, assurance and
Life!

Are you willing
to board?
Note
that
the question is not:
are you ready to
ride?
False
expectations have
filled the church with
focus on the "ticket
to ride" rather
than
"shoring up" the
vessel and making
preparations to feed
and care for the new
arrivals
soon to
come
aboard.
There is a
Great Harvest in
God's Plans!
Today is the Day of
Salvation!
The Divine
Promise of God's Word
was fulfilled with His
Perfect
Truth, Life and Spirit.
Father God perfected and
glorified His Son
through the Cross
to demonstrate His
perfection pattern to
mankind.
Spiritually,
Jesus
put
it
three dimensionally this
way...
First,
we
are to die to the lust
of the flesh and the
lust of the eye.
Secondly,
we
are to pick up our cross
daily which is evident
in the tests, trials,
and
tribulations in our time
on earth.
Thirdly,
we
are to follow Him.
In Him is
Light, Life and Spirit.
No one
comes to the Father of
lights but through the
Son.
His Name
is above all Names and
all power in heaven and
earth are His.
Father
God has declared that
every knee shall bow to
the Glory that is sealed
in the
Name of Jesus.
Those
who
will not receive the
command of Father God
shall be judged for
their rebellion.
Rebellion
is as
witchcraft...wickedness
and evil. It is sin.
Judgment
has already be
pronounced on sin.
The
penalty is
death.
It is the
eternal death.
Father
God's
perfecting Light not
only promises the coming
Judgment,
but
also performs the
Judgment, as a Witness
of His hatred for
sinful wickedness.
David
prophesied this very
time, season and
message in Psalm 125.
We see a
Holy God in all of His
Love and Mercy towards
mankind in Jesus
Christ.
God
carries out His
Government of Light in
separating darkness
from His
rule:
(1) in
Adam's disobedience,
(2) in
the forty day flood of
the earth,
(3) in
the destruction of
Jerusalem in 70 AD,
(4) in
the messages delivered
by Jesus regarding
Eternal Judgments!
God is
loving and kind toward
us, He is also very
serious about our taking
Him serious!
Jesus is the
Ruler of Light in
Righteousness:
hope, faith and love.
Satan is the ruler of
darkness:
rebellion, disobedience
and wickedness.
- Jesus came to
demonstrate the
Will of the Father
in all things.
- Jesus came to
redeem mankind to
right standing
with the
Father.
- Jesus came to
destroy the works
of the devil:
- Satan has
nothing in common
with Light.
- Satan has
nothing in Light
that belongs to
him.
- Satan has no
power over Light.
Jesus came to
earth with the
message of the Kingdom
of Heaven:
righteousness, life,
sin, and judgment.
Jesus
said that when the
Spirit of the Lord comes
He will
convict, convince and
demonstrate to the world
the same message.
All is
operational today! The
Holy Ghost was sent
2000 years ago!
Your
Future is
decided by
whose voice
you chose to
believe...
=======================================
Did you know
the Holy Spirit has
been here to empower
believers
since the inauguration
of Christ on
David's throne?
Where is this
empowerment?
The spirit
of antichrist
through governments
of men,
killed Holy Spirit
filled saints of God
replacing them with
men of plans and
decrees of
rule and
religious systems.
Here is the GOOD
NEWS!
Man
is not bigger and
mightier than God!
God is restoring
His church and
fulfilling His
promises!
Have
you ever read
about the history
of the church?
It has been a
bloody march over
the centuries!
During
the "dark
ages" of
history one
could have
been
convinced that
Satan
had stamped
out the work
of Jesus
Christ.
The spiritual
church was
"dead."
It
was not until
the 1500's
that life was
again
resurrected
into the
church
by a man
after
God's heart,
Martin
Luther.
It is a
wonderful
account
of
a man who
deeply loved
God more than
his own
life! He
walked in the
spiritual
gift
of
supernatural
faith and did
Great Exploits
to free the
church.
Because
of his actions
and exercise
of the
supernatural
gift of faith,
a
progress of
spiritual
maturity began
to flow once
again back
into the
church!
It
is a wonderful
God that we
have
opportunity to
serve!
Where
do you think
Martin Luther
gained insight
to the
spiritual gift
of faith?
Answer:
the Word and the
Holy Spirit.
The
message of the Gospel is
about Father's Heart
regarding:
- the Light of
Righteousness
- the Darkness
of sin
- the Judgment
of Blessing or Curse
which is accessed by
God's creation based
upon the choices one
makes.
=======================================
Are we ever
going to get the
"seed" watered enough
times?
Your
future is decided by
who you have chosen
to believe...
When
Jesus was on the
earth, He explained
to His disciples
that it was better
for Him
to go
away so that the
Holy Spirit could
come. Jesus could
only be
in
one place at one
time, but the Holy
Spirit could be
everywhere.
Jesus
could directly touch
only those who heard
and saw Him,
but
the Holy Spirit
could directly touch
people anywhere at
anytime!
The
Holy Ghost
transcends all at
the Will of the
Father and the
direction of the
King!
A
revival is set to
begin on this
earth that
supersedes all
events
ever
in the history of
mankind! In
this revival the
Holy Spirit will
move deeply, widely,
supernaturally,
and
powerfully! He
will appear in every
place man
inhabits.
The
darkness of
activities of men
will be exposed as
Adam and Eve
understood their
nakedness
and
sin. The Holy
Ghost brings the
spirit of man to a
sense of reality
that God is
God!
He
especially convicts
of sin:
the
rebellion and apathy
that men, women and
youth display
against the
Holy
Son of God.
The Holy Spirit
brings the reality
of the love that God
has for mankind
and
He showers His love
in such magnitude
that it transcends
all other
thoughts.
When
the presence of the
Holy Spirit is
manifest it is
impossible to flee
from God!
Won't
you come aboard?
Are
you ready to give
witness of God and
His plan for
mankind?
Connecting with
us can help you to find
placement within the
Body.
Reach
your
community through the
local church...
Reach
the
nations...
=======================================
God's
third Witness to Noah
was a Covenant of His
Rainbow Light
or
Miraculous Work in the
clouds!
Noah
and his family members
were the only human
survivors of the
deluge.
The
Word of God records
the destruction of the
world of wicked
inhabitants who lived
upon
the Earth at that
time.
Behold! A
time and season is
upon the earth, a
Great Judgment!
The City of
Lights was launched in
2007.
The number 7
represents
perfecting...
To perfect is
to mature.
Judgment impacts
both...righteousness
and unrighteousness.
We have
examined this
principle of God
beginning with
Adam.
GOD is GOOD!
Judgment
power
perfects us.
We
are either totally
committed to God or
we are
not with Him at all!
With God there are
only two dynamics to
judge...
Light or darkness...
there are no shades
of grey... no
shadows.
Cold or hot...there
are no degrees of
lukewarmness.
Holy or
sinful...there are
no other provisions.
Watch for
God to release bountiful
blessings into the lives
of those who are living
in
Christ. Watch for
the same magnitude of
physical calamity to be
manifest upon the earth
as a
witness to mankind that
Father God through
His Son
is the Sovereign King of
all things! Just
look around you!
We are
in the days of
judgment.
Rom
8:35-39
(AMP)
35
Who shall ever
separate us from
Christ's love?
Shall suffering
and affliction
and tribulation?
Or
calamity and
distress? Or
persecution or
hunger or
destitution or
peril or sword?
36
Even as it is
written, For Thy
sake we are put
to death all the
day long; we are
regarded
and
counted as sheep
for the
slaughter. [Ps
44:22.]
37
Yet amid all
these things we
are more than
conquerors and
gain a
surpassing
victory
through
Him Who loved
us.
38
For I am
persuaded beyond
doubt (am sure)
that neither
death nor life,
nor angels
nor
principalities,
nor things
impending and
threatening nor
things to come,
nor powers,
39
Nor height nor
depth, nor
anything else in
all creation
will be able to
separate us from
the
love of God
which is in
Christ Jesus our
Lord.
We
have entered a New
realm in the Season!
Now
is the time to GO
Forth...
God is not
a respecter of
persons. He
is a respecter of His
Word!
Rev
3:16-19
(AMP)
16
So, because you are
lukewarm and neither
cold nor hot,
I
will spew you out of
My mouth!
17
For you say, I am
rich; I have
prospered and grown
wealthy, and I am
in
need of nothing; and
you do not realize
and understand that
you are wretched,
pitiable,
poor, blind, and
naked. [Hos 12:8.]
18
Therefore I counsel
you to purchase from
Me gold refined and
tested by fire,
that
you may be [truly]
wealthy, and white
clothes to clothe
you and to keep
the
shame of your nudity
from being seen,
and
salve to put on your
eyes, that you may
see.
19
Those whom I [dearly
and tenderly] love,
I tell their faults
and convict and
convince
and reprove and
chasten [I
discipline and
instruct them].
So be
enthusiastic and in
earnest and burning
with zeal and repent
[
changing
your mind and
attitude]. [Prov
3:12.]
All
are invited to
Come to the Light!
Revelation
22:17 (AMP)
The
[Holy] Spirit and the
bride (the church, the
true Christians) say,
Come! And let him who
is listening
say, Come! And let
everyone come who is
thirsty [who is
painfully conscious
of his
need of those things by
which the soul is
refreshed, supported,
and strengthened];
and
whoever [earnestly]
desires to do it, let
him come, take,
appropriate, and drink
the water
of Life without cost.
[Isa 55:1.]
He has made
the Way for
righteousness to
reign.
God's Plan will be
fulfilled!
Get
prepared for God
Himself "stepping
down from Heaven"
by
His abiding present
Person, the Holy
Spirit!
Join
with
us
in this awesome
and wonderful
move of the Holy
Spirit
to
touch
the
nations sharing
the
Light
of the Gospel of
Jesus Christ!
