Defeating Depression Part I [Charismatic Devotional Thread]
Kad-Esh Shabbat Letter 16th of June MAP Ministries ^ | 16 June 2006 | Rabbi Baruch, Bishop Dominiquae Bierman

DEFEATING DEPRESSION

PART 1

“Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good word makes it glad” Proverbs 12:25

Depression- from Webster’s New Unabridged Dictionary

Low spirits, gloominess, dejection, sadness, a decrease in force, or activity, or amount, a decrease in functional activity. An emotional condition either normal or pathological characterized by discouragement, a feeling of inadequacy, the act of humbling abasement as a depression of pride. Abasement, reduction, sinking, fall, humiliation, dejection, melancholy.

Major Depression Facts Major depression is the No.1 psychological disorder in the western world.(1) It is growing in all age groups, in virtually every community, and the growth is seen most in the young, especially teens. At the rate of increase, it will be the 2nd most disabling condition in the world by 2020, behind heart disease. http://www.clinical-depression.co.uk/Depression_Information/facts.htm Shalom dearly beloved:

I am taking the opportunity this Shabbat to touch on a subject that is plaguing many people, that is DEPRESSION. Nearly everywhere that we go to minister, The Lord gives me a Word of Knowledge concerning depression and suicide. Many people have been miraculously set free from depression and hopelessness as we bring forth The MAP Revolution Message to the nations. Some times people that have suffered from over 50 years of chronic depression are able to smile and rejoice for the FIRST time in their lives!

One such case happened to us in Ecuador. As we were leaving from the Guayaquil airport after and intense time of ministry in Ecuador, some people came to bid us good-bye and among them there was a middle age toothless lady. She was smiling from ear to ear and had no front teeth at all!!! She made a considerable effort to come to the airport from a remote village and without any private transport. Her purpose for coming was to show us her “toothless smile” as a sign of appreciation for our ministry. She told us that she had suffered from chronic depression for over 50 years and that she was healed under our ministry and could now genuinely smile and be happy for the FIRST time in 50 years!!! Needless to say we were overjoyed and tears ran down our cheeks as we received this marvelous testimony as a gift from heaven and as full reward for our time spent in Ecuador. What a privilege it is to make people SMILE and rejoice from their hearts after so many years of suffering!

In one of our meetings in Mexico, as I was asking for people to give their testimonies of healing, a young man came to answer the altar call for salvation, tears streaming down his face as The Lord had healed him from depression right there on the spot. His testimony caused around 100 people to answer the altar call for salvation on that day! The lady that brought him to our meeting was HIS OWN CHRISTIAN THERAPIST that in desperation hoped for a miracle for her own patient! What medicine could not do, The Holy Spirit did it in a split second! To Him is all the glory forever!

I am not disclaiming in this article the use of drugs and medications in certain cases. Psychiatric help can be as a ¨life boat¨ to a drowning person. Many of my loved ones have been greatly helped by medication, however if you know the root cause of depression you can live a life of freedom from this plague that is a major attack on modern day man.

My own testimony It is in my weakness that YAH (The Lord) uses me in the area of depression as nearly every member of my immediate family has been plagued from depression and one even committed suicide due to it. I have suffered the deep distress of catering to people in serious, critical depressions and mental disease all my life. As I am writing these very lines my own son who is a soldier in the Israeli Army is suffering from depression that has been caused by pressure and anxiety. As a mother I am going through a very painful time, yet in the midst of my own pain I feel compelled to write this letter so that all those that are suffering from depression can receive HOPE and a WAY OUT!

The Factors that cause depression

A family curse that is repeated throughout the generations due to witchcraft, involvement in the occult, Kabbala and the active membership in secret lodges such as the Free Masons, Odd Fellows, etc…It can also manifest as a “genetical chemical imbalance” (Deuteronomy 5:8, 28:28,29) A root of bitterness, hidden anger and unforgiveness. (Matthew 18:34,35) Fear, anxiety and stress. (Proverbs 12:25, 1 John 4:18) A serious disappointment in life such as broken promises, divorce or a broken relationship, the death of a loved one or any frustrated expectation. “Hope deferred makes the heart sick” (Proverbs 13:12) Unresolved grief. (Genesis 37:34-36) Vitamin and nutritional deficiency

TREATMENT FOR DEPRESSION 1. Repentance: In 2 Chronicles 7:14 we have the antidote for all sickness, be it spiritual, emotional or physical,

If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

*Humility to recognize the need

*Prayer to seek YAH and inspect our hearts

*Turn from our wicked ways of mistrust, and fear rather than faith, disobedience to God’s Commandments and any unforgiveness and hidden anger. Forgiveness is a KEY issue, forgive yourself, others and even God!

“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matthew 6:14,15

2. Confess your sins to someone you trust that has a holy walk with God and have that person pray for you.

Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. James 5:16

3. Taking the Word of God as medication.

“He sent His word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions.” Psalms 107:20

“My son give attention to My word, incline your ear to my sayings do not let them depart from your eyes, keep them in the midst of your heart, for they are life to those who find them, and health to ALL their flesh” Proverbs 4:20-22

Make for yourself a Word Prayer of at least 5-7 scripture promises, declare and meditate on those scripture promises day and night and at least 3 times a day! Record this scripture prayer and listen to it while you are driving, speaking it out loud and also silently to yourself all day long.

4. Begin to obey God’s Commandments to you with no excuses.

“The work of righteousness will be peace and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever” Isaiah 32:17

I will paraphrase from the original Hebrew:

“The actions of those that are made just by doing what is right in the eyes of God will be shalom, wellbeing and wholeness in every way; And those who worship Him according to His Commandments (Holy Worship!) will be quietness and absolute confidence forever.”

The word RIGHTEOUS from the Webster’s Unabridged Dictionary

Right in wise manner, upright, virtuous, acting in a just way, morally right, good, excellent, satisfying, pleasant, authentic, Godly, just, upright, virtuous.

Our righteousness comes from having been made right with YAH (God) through Y’shua’s blood sacrifice and it is to be followed by obedience to His Commandments and by a right walk with Him. When we are made right with Elohim through Y’shua, in a forgiven state we then begin a personal walk with Him, a walk of loving obedience to His Commandments as written in our hearts by The Holy Spirit. (Jeremiah 31:31-33)

If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love. John 15:10

Walking in love, obedience and forgiveness is an antidote for fear and thus fights and defeats the torment of depression.

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18

5. Total trust in Elohim-God, His Word, His Plan and His Character. Trust is the antidote against anxiety, one of the major root causes of depression in the 21st century. Trust develops through continual prayer and meditation of the Word of God.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through the Messiah Y’shua. Philippians 4:6,7

This is actually a commandment- “Be anxious for NOTHING” and the way to achieve it is by,

Prayer, supplication and thanksgiving

Most people are anxious because they lead a prayer-less and unthankful life, so they are always revolving around themselves and their own problems.

6. Praise is an important KEY to release healing and the presence of YAH

You have turned for me my mourning into dancing; You have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with gladness, To the end that my glory may sing praise to You and not be silent. O Yahveh my God, I will give thanks to You forever. Psalm 30:11-12

7. Inner Healing is the key for inner soul and heart pain. Inner healing happens when we acknowledge the pain and let the Spirit of Truth and the Word of God bring light to the most hidden corners of our soul.

Then Y’shua said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” John 8:31,32,

“The Spirit of Yahveh GOD is upon Me, Because Yahveh has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of Yahveh, And the day of vengeance of our God; To comfort all who mourn, To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of Yahveh, that He may be glorified.” Isaiah 61:1-3.

Inner healing can happen when someone else prays for you or when you pray and let YAH work on your soul to bring truth and light to your deepest painful emotions.

8. Conventional treatment- In some cases there is a need to receive conventional medication and drug treatment before a person can be settled enough to allow for God’s word and spirit to work. In these cases by all means receive treatment and then apply all the rest.

9. Deliverance from demons- is an important part in defeating depression as in many cases there is demonic activity involved in depression, however depression is not only caused by evils spirits and it is important to treat spirit, soul and body!

Then His fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. Matthew 4:24

10. Nutritional supplements are very important in order to treat depression and most particularly vitamin B complex and Vitamin C, however for a more thorough list consult with a professional nutritionist and health consultant. There are also some herbs that can be helpful such as St. John’s Wort, Chamomille, Valerian Root, etc…It is also important to change your nutritional habits to healthy habits decreasing white sugar, processed foods, chemicals such as nitrates and MSG.

For thus says Yahveh GOD, the Holy One of Israel: “ In returning and rest you shall be saved; In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” Isaiah 30:15A

On the next issue we will talk about fear and anxiety as a root cause of depression, meanwhile have a Shabbat Shalom, full of wellbeing and DO NOT GIVE UP! Remember that we love you and care for you.

Your friends in Israel

Source: Lessons on Living From David
Scripture: 1 Samuel 22:1-2

Company of the Unfit

1 Samuel 22:1-2

David therefore departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. And when his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him. And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him.

Company of the Unfit

When Gen. George Washington gathered his armies to fight against the redcoats, they came from every conceivable walk of life. Some were frontiersmen, while others were merchants, farmers and even slaves. But the overwhelming majority had one thing in common: they were not trained soldiers. Most of them had shot nothing bigger than wild game. Yet in spite of that glaring deficiency, they took on the disciplined regiments of British regulars, and after a seven-year struggle they won.

David’s army also was a ragtag band of misfits. Those who were in trouble, in debt or simply discontented were drawn to him. A more motley group of outcasts would be hard to find—hardly a fit army for a would-be king. Yet despite their many shortcomings, God used them ultimately to bring David to the throne.

God delights in accomplishing His will through those the world considers unfit. He always has been attracted to people who will make themselves available and let Him do the rest. He took a schemer like Jacob and made him the father of Israel. He took an escaped fugitive like Moses and made him a fearless liberator. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that He was able to take a group of unlikely malcontents and debtors and use them to establish a shepherd boy like David as king over Israel. Imagine what He can do with you and me.

Are you ill-equipped for the task that God has called you to? Then rejoice, because that means you have the primary qualification God is looking for. If you are willing to be used, God will do the rest.

God can make the unfit fit for His plans.

Prosperity in Afflictions
by Os Hillman, November 13, 2006
 

             The second son he named Ephraim and said, "It is because God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering." - Genesis 41:52

            When Joseph was elevated to rule over the Egyptian kingdom, he revealed some profound truths gained from the experiences of his years of adversity.
 
            He named his first son, Manasseh for, he said, "God has made me forget all  my trouble and all my father's household" (Gen. 41:51b).
 
            His second son was named Ephraim because, "God has made me fruitful in the land of my suffering."

            Whenever God takes us through the land of affliction, He will do two things through that affliction:
 
                1) He will bring such healing that we will be able to forget the pain 
                2) He will make us fruitful from the painful experiences.

            God does not waste our afflictions if we allow Him the freedom to complete the work in us. His desire is to create virtue that remains during the times of testing so that He can bring us into the place of fruitfulness in the very area of our testing.
 
            He has never promised to keep us from entering the valleys of testing, but He has promised to make us fruitful in them.
 
            He is the God who turns the Valley of Achor (trouble) into a door of hope (see Hosea 2:15).

            If you are in the valley of affliction, now is the time to press into Him.
       
            When the time comes to bring you out of this valley, He will heal your memories and bring fruit from this very time.

Author: Elisabeth Elliot
Source: Keep A Quiet Heart
Scripture: Acts 9:32-41 Hebrews 11-12:1 Romans 1:7 1 Corinthians 1:2

The Unseen Company

Many of us belong to churches where a creed is often repeated by the congregation. Several of the ancient creeds include these words, "I believe in the communion of saints." For some the word saints means only certain specially holy people who have been officially designated as such. For others it means those who are now in heaven. The Bible is very matter-of-fact in showing that those who belong to Christ, i.e., Christians, are saints. Look at Acts 9:32 and 41 for a start. Then note the salutations in Romans 1:7, 1 Corinthians 1:2, and other places.

Do you ever think much about that communion? Do you actually believe in it? I'm learning. The communion of saints takes no notice of location. Here or on the other side of the world or in heaven, all who love the Lord are included, bound together as a body whose Head is Christ. The gallery of heroes of the faith in Hebrews 11 comprises not only those who achieved thrilling victories through faith, but also the destitute and persecuted, those who were tortured, flogged, imprisoned, and even sawn in two--people whom the world would never deem worthy, yet the Bible says the world was not worthy of them! And here's something worth pausing over: all were "commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us, so that only together with us would they be made perfect" (vv. 39-40).

When I pray I am often preoccupied and distracted, aware that my efforts are feeble and seemingly quite useless, but the thought that those distinguished heroes are to be perfected along with me (and with the writer of Hebrews, and with you and all the rest of the followers of the Lamb) changes the picture altogether and puts new heart into me. Grand and mysterious things are in operation. We are not alone. My prayers are perhaps a single note in a symphony, but a necessary note, for I believe in the communion of saints. We need each other. The prayers of one affect all. The obedience of one matters infinitely and forever.

We are told that we are "surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses" (Hebrews 12:1, KJV)--those who found in Christ "their Rock, their Fortress, and their Might, their Captain in the well-fought fight" (to borrow the words of an old hymn), and "in the darkness drear their one true Light--Alleluia" (W.W. How: "For All the Saints").

When newly married and living in a little palm-thatched house in the jungle, Jim Elliot and I remembered that even in so remote a place we were still gathered in that great communion, and we used often to sing John Ellerton's hymn, "The Day Thou Gavest, Lord, Is Ended." (Lars and I sometimes sing it now.) My favorite stanzas:

We thank Thee that Thy Church, unsleeping,
While earth rolls onward into light,
Through all the world her watch is keeping,
And rests not now by day or night.


As o'er each continent and island
The dawn brings on another day,
The voice of prayer is never silent,
Nor die the strains of praise away.

Maybe there is a reader who is very weak and very lonely as he reads this today, tempted to feel that prayer is futile and goes nowhere. Think of the great Unseen Company that watches and prays as we "run with perseverance the race marked out for us"(Hebrews 12:1, NIV)! Think of that and be of good cheer--it's much too soon to quit!

Holiday Family Angst

By Linda S. Mintle, Ph.D.


It's that time of year again when most of us consider the trek home to join the family fun. For many, it's a trip into dysfunction, raising anxiety levels. Family get-togethers can create holiday angst -- a gift worth not giving!

Most of my therapy discussion this time of year centers on helping people prepare for family gatherings. My first piece of advice is this: do not idealize family relations. Unless you've all been in intensive therapy for a while, the family dance is not that different from years passed. Grandpa will still drink too much. Aunt Mary will be critical of the turkey. And Uncle Bob will be as obnoxious as ever. If you approach your family problems realistically, you can better prepare your reactions.

Here are some tips to prepare for holiday family encounters:

1) Focus on your reaction. It is the only thing you can control. If you want change, then do not react the same way. For example, if Uncle Jim corners you ever year and lambastes you for your political views and you respond with anger that leads to a fight, try a new response. You could say, "Uncle Jim, I can see you feel strongly about your views. That's great!" Do not argue. Drop it and diffuse him.

2) Ahead of the visit, identify the family patterns that cause stress. Think of new ways to react to those patterns. For example, mom complains to you about your sister. Instead of talking with her about your sister like you usually do, say, "Mom you need to talk to her about this. I don't want to be in the middle." Keep redirecting her back to your sister no matter how enticing she makes the conversation. Get out of the middle of conflict. You do not want to be in a family triangle!

3) Set limits if there are serious family problems. For example, if there is a history of abuse, be clear about boundaries. Or if drinking gets out of hand, leave. You are not a child anymore. You can set appropriate boundaries. If they are crossed, confront the behavior and if necessary get out.

4) Stay near by and not in your parents' house. This is a strategy that has worked for many of my clients. You have more control when you can come and go. And you have time away to regroup and think about what is happening.

5) Be a model of grace and forgiveness. If you are a Christian, you may have to extend both several times during a visit. This does not mean you allow people to walk all over you. It means when people treat you poorly, address it, extend grace, and forgive. Do not wait for them to do so first.

6) Choose one thing you will do differently this year that will help make things better. Do not try to change everything at once. Focus on one behavior. Small changes add up through the years.

PSALM 2

1Why do the heathen rage, and the people devise a vain thing?

2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,


3"Let us break Their bonds asunder, and cast away Their cords from us."


4He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall hold them in derision.


5Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure:


6"Yet have I set My King upon My holy hill of Zion."


7"I will declare the decree: The LORD hath said unto Me, `Thou art My Son; this day have I begotten Thee.


8Ask of Me, and I shall give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession.


9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.'"


10Be wise now therefore, O ye kings; be instructed, ye judges of the earth.


11Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling.


12Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him.

Jesus' Hands and Fingers...

http://writethevision2.blogspot.com

11-17 -'06, Three dream scenes: I awoke between all three of these scenes, and 'noted' them, before going back to sleep, so that each scene was separate and distinct from the other 2.

#1
I saw a nice looking housewife-type woman standing in her kitchen, with her back to the refrigerator. She was blonde with a Jackie 'O type hairdo (kind of a smooth bubbled 'do', as Jackie Kennedy wore in times past). I saw that her arms were behind her back, hands crossed and her hands moving slightly as well as her fingers moving rhythmically ....... end of dream scene.


I semi-awoke and thought about kitchens and refrigerators sometimes referencing in the way of symbol : 'that inner heart place of a man or a woman'..... and then I fell back to sleep.

#2 I was looking at a light skinned black man about 40-45 in age. Stocky built, he wearing an expensive looking, double breasted tan colored suit, and I knew he was a 'preacher' holding forth. He stood at the end of a living room with his back to a fireplace, which had a good sized wood fire and flames going in it. His hands also were behind his back, hands crossed, and slightly moving, fingers moving, moving ...

There were folks gathered and seated in this long living room (very similar to my own remembered childhood living room/home ) -- I only saw these other people hazily, as I was concentrated on this man, his hands, and the fire behind him.....he was speaking / preaching ... I awoke.

#3 When I did wake up from this third dream, I could not remember the beginning, the first part of the dream -- but I did remember there was big action, an accident, and that I had heard the crashing, and the glass breaking.

I was standing diagonally across from a city store, an older city shop -- A corner situated shop / wood frame building, with full glass windows on each side; this shop was closed for the day. There had just been this accident, and there was an ongoing robbery attempt happening in this shop, for this store contained valuables -- the plate glass window on the right side of the corner shop (as I looked-on) was broken through, with dangerous shards still moving, & hanging precariously in the upper window framework . ( I thought perhaps that a car had driven right through this window ? - although I could not remembering exactly, after awakening .)

I knew that 2 or 3 men had entered this shop to steal / rob the valuables inside, and I saw one of the robbers hurt and laying inside the shop on the floor, he seemed only semi-conscious,, laying near that broken window, and in the dream I was very alarmed that some of those larger shards of window glass might fall and hurt him even more,, or even kill him, as he didn't seem able to move himself.

At this very same time simultaneously in this dream, walking towards me (diagonally across this street intersection) at about the mid point of the street were a young black family: A dad, mom, with a couple of children -- they were all dressed in their 'Sunday best' in appearance ..... very nice looking young family, with peaceful semi-smiling expressions on their faces...the children bounced along with their parents, as the family was just strolling towards me, crossing this intersection diagonally.

As I began to awake alarmed, due to the dream' accident, and that injured robber-man needing help ,, I was thinking in my heart, 'How in this world can they (this family) be so nonchalant, be so insensitive to the accident that has just happened, and to that man needing rescue ?!'


For, the accident was loud, no one could have missed it !,,and it had occurred right behind them -- yet, they did not seem to hear or see, or notice, nor even care..... and I awoke more fully, to ponder this 3rd. dream scene with Lord.

--------------
One aspect I was given to understand of all three scenes, that may tie them together, is that in each dream, the people had 'something behind them'.

A kitchen refrigerator behind -- the blonde woman
A living room fire / fireplace behind -- the preacher man
A shop in a city street / the accident behind -- the oblivious peaceful family

The dream scenes may point to times of the past, as in: 'behind'

Eph. 4:11, Jesus has gifted into His beloved church, His' people; apostles, prophets, teachers, pastors and evangelists = Five, or as some say, the 5-fold ministries, which may be likened to the fingers of our hands. I believe The Lord was addressing these ministries in my dream scenes received, via the hands and fingers seen.

Some of the interpretation of these dream-scenes may be understood in this way:

#1 In the past (Jackie 'O hairdo, past times) much of the church (blonde woman) held the works (hands) of five fold ministry (fingers) close to heart (kitchen / refrigerator), yet these ministries were not in open display, but these ministry persons (5 fingers) were kept 'behind the back', somewhat hidden, by individual believers.

In second scene part of the message is similar (hands / fingers), but this time includes both the 'fire of God' (fireplace/fire), and the hidden messengers (five-fold gift ministries) whom had now moved from the place of inner (fridge./heart) individual knowing, into the place of living more openly, being proclaimed (preacher-man) = in the living-room -- the place where people and family gather together.

Finally the wisdom contained in scene #3 I believe to be along this line, Do not try to help or fix 'the old' which has been sacked, ruined, is even now robbed and damaged, EVEN IF an emergency situation seems to arise there 'behind you' (of, or from the long past, or the immediate past); Seemingly dire and life threatening happening's in that 'old shop' wherein thieves have broken in to rob and steal. That past place is now only semi-conscious, is dying, and is dangerous.


Do not be enticed to turn back, but rather leaving all behind, cross to the other side (new place), at this intersection of God's time and timing,, with 'family' = those of like Christ' belief, ministry and calling.

" And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead." – Mt. 8:20,21, & Lk. 9:59, 60

I believe these were prophetic instructional dreams from God, and may speak to actual real places or situations for some folks, OR as well for some of us, they may be speaking to spiritual places , as these dreams have revealed for myself; Spiritual places no longer fruitful nor wise for some of us / me to stay at.

-- A present-time instruction (or confirmation for some) to leave behind the old, and cross this intersection, via The Cross by His' Grace,, moving into Jesus new spiritual places and ministry for us, as families now being enabled to openly display and give through the five ministries (dream: Dad, Mom, & Children),,, The ministries of our Lord Jesus Christ.

"
And HE gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelist; and some pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:...." - Eph. 4:11-13

Source: Lessons on Living From David
Scripture: 2 Samuel 11:2-3

Beware the Sinkhole

2 Samuel 11:2-3

Then it happened one evening that David arose from his bed and walked on the roof of the king’s house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very beautiful to behold. So David sent and inquired about the woman. And someone said, "Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?"

Beware the Sinkhole

In December 1985 an enormous sinkhole swallowed a house and carport and forced the evacuation of four homes in a retirement community in Florida. The hole was about the size of a pickup truck when it was discovered. Within three hours it had grown to 30 by 40 feet and had swallowed half of a small house. Two hours later it had expanded to more than 70 feet, and the house with its carport was gone. Authorities were grateful that it finally stopped growing without doing even more damage.

David discovered that sin is like an ever-expanding sinkhole. As he was walking on the flat roof of his palace, he saw a beautiful woman bathing. Instead of turning away, he stared longingly at her. At this point the sinkhole was small but expanding. When he inquired about who she was, the hole grew larger. And finally, when he sent for her (v. 4), he soon found himself and those around him swallowed up. What started out as only a look ended in tragedy for all involved.

The best solution for avoiding the danger of a sinkhole is to stay far away from it. The same is true for sin. A lingering look, a carnal curiosity and the sinkhole of sin can rapidly expand. And once it starts to grow, the damage can be extensive. Your marriage, your morals and even your relationship with the Lord can be swallowed by its gaping mouth. Before you even have time to realize what’s happening, everything you value might be gone.

Don’t lose what’s important to you down a sinkhole. Flee sin before it can swallow you and those you love. The farther away you stay from sin, the safer you are.

The sinkhole of sin is never satisfied.

THE ENDTIME MANTLE OF ELIJAH
Maurice Sklar
May 11 2006 11:22AM


"Then came Elijah unto all the people, and said,
How long halt ye between two opinions: if the LORD be God, follow Him:
but if Ba'al, then follow him...
Then the fire of the LORD fell...And when all the people saw it,
they fell on their faces: and they said, the LORD, He is the God; the LORD,
He is the God...And Elijah said...get thee up, eat and drink;
for there is a sound of abundance of rain."
(1 Kings 18:21,38, 39,41)

We are now entering into an awesome time in God's prophetic time table. The LORD is about to do what the church has failed to do: fulfill the Great Commission of Yeshua the Messiah. In the past two thousand years, we have failed to bring the gospel to every tongue, tribe, people, and nation. But God never fails! He is bringing in the harvest by the power of His glory that is beginning to cover the earth as the waters cover the seas.

What many do not understand is that we are now in a transition period between the end of the church age and the beginning of the Messianic age. Time itself has nearly run out. Just as every great symphony (not to mention fireworks show) has a "Grand Finale", so the LORD shall bring in this final surge of harvest in a victorious and triumphant display before both the righteous and the wicked of the earth.

The deception of the wine of Babylon (See The Wine of Babylon) has cause many millions of souls to be in a spiritually drunken stupor throughout the earth. They are blinded to their great spiritual poverty and the depravity of their souls. They do not realize that they are on the brink of falling into the eternal damnation of the fires and darkness of hell. I just returned from a tour of ministry in Japan. As I was driven through the massive cities of Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe, Sapporo, and others, I could hear their desperate cries for help in the Spirit. With less than 1% of believers in Yeshua in Japan, millions are perishing and don't even have a clue. I could say this about almost all of the countries that I have visited. I would despair if I did not know that somehow, God will bring in the harvest by His sovereign grace, in spite of our failure to win these nations as yet.

As I asked the Holy Spirit about this, He began to say to me:

"I am getting ready to do something in this earth that will cause many millions to awaken to repentance. I am now releasing the mantles of the ministry of Elijah into the earth. I have prepared many thousands of endtime prophets and have hid them away in obscure places. I have sent My refining fire upon them to prepare them for this final hour. I am getting ready to judge My church in a way that it has not experienced since the time of Peter in the book of Acts. I will completely purge my threshing floor. Some will fall down dead while preaching their Sunday morning sermons. I have already begun to expose and remove those that are false prophets, teachers, and pastors. I have brought My bride into the wilderness to purify her. I am causing a divine separation by My fire of My people from the Laodicean church of this hour. Darkness is growing thoughout the earth and even America cannot escape it.

There is a new generation of prophets about to emerge. They will operate in the miraculous to such an extent that they will confound the unbelieving and smash the idols of this modern age. They will release both supernatural blessings upon My bride as well as unleashing my judgment upon the earth. No one will be able to ignore them. They will emerge both from the church and out of the remnant of faithful, believing Jews. I have begun already to release the mantles of the endtime ministry of Elijah for the church age.

There has been a counterfeit movement of teaching on angels and then abuse of true prophetic ministry during the past ten years.  Satan has done his best to counterfeit My operations through witchcraft, false religions including humanism, and a false gospel of salvation: but without repentance, My Lordship, or the power of My blood. The church in America loves books that paint Me in their image. 

There is a feel-good gospel of psychology that promotes the doctrine of Laodicea. They have cast My book aside. They have translated My Word into language that removes My fear, My holiness, and the power of My holy Name and My Blood. They have watered down My Word until it has become without the fire that can purify them any longer. Many thousands that once walked with Me are excusing open sin and rebellion in their lives. Many are on the verge of falling away to the enemy. Most that profess My name and call Me Lord are serving their own lusts and pleasures instead of Me.

Many are saying, "God won't judge us. We are in grace now." But they do not know that they have stepped out of the very holiness that accesses My grace. Without holiness no one will see God. That is what My Word proclaims. I am not only a God of love, I am also a God of fire! I am a consuming fire!

It is now the hour and time that I will cause My endtime Elijah prophets to emerge and to come forth. These mantles will bring judgment, separation, healing, miracles, and supernatural provision into the church and into the earth. I have rained upon this earth during the past 100 years since Azusa street. Now I will release the fire from heaven! It will purify My bride. It will judge the earth. I am about to shake the nations in such a way that they will fall to their knees before Me. I am destroying the networks of witchcraft that have held back this fire from heaven. I will repay upon the wicked all the blood that cries out against them because of their sin and rebellion against Me.

These are the supernatural aspects to the the mantle of Elijah:

1. Witholding of rain and abundance of rain: both in the natural and in the Spirit. This has already begun in only a small measure. Some places will receive massive flooding, while in others, draught and famine.

2. Calling down of fire: both in the natural and in the Spirit. This has also begun in the natural, but only in a small scale. Fires shall sweep not only countrysides, but in cities there shall be fires that cannot be put out until they have finished their purpose for burning. In the end, this fire shall destroy entire nations through nuclear warfare. In the Spirit, My holy fire shall sweep into churches and separate the true believers from the false ones. The same fire that purifies My endtime bride will judge the wicked of this earth. I will consume the strange fires of Mystery Babylon in My furnace of affliction throughout the earth. My fire shall judge the fortune-telling false prophets who have been eating and drinking at Jezebel's table.

3. I will cause great and strong winds that tear even the mountains apart. I will cause earthquakes that shake the nations to their knees as well as the fires that I mentioned above (1 Kings 19:11-12). But I will not speak until after these calamities take place. Then, the nations that ignored My voice before shall hear My still, small voice and many shall repent.

4. My people shall wrap themselves in the mantle of My protection and provision in this final hour. (1 Kings 19:13). I shall hide My people in many havens of protection. I shall supernaturally multiply resources and the provisions of My people. Even in the times of famine, they shall eat and have plenty. I shall bring forth many places of refuge and shelters which I have hidden for this hour. I will wrap My bride in the mantle of My anointing in this final hour and lead them safely through. My endtime Elijahs will safely guide the faithful through these calamities.

5. I will release the ministry of creative miracles and the raising of the dead. No disease shall be able to stand in the presence of My last-day prophets. I will cause such a display of My supernatural healing power in revival meetings that the major news networks shall broadcast 'live' as limbs grow out, the dead are raised, deformed children, the incurably insane and 'water-head' babies are instantly healed. People shall fly in from around the world bringing the incurable and deformed and I will heal them ALL - just as I did in My earthly ministry. My end-time Elijah prophets shall enter into hospitals and empty them. Every one shall be healed. Even the insane and mentally ill shall be cured. Mental hospitals shall be shut down and never reopened.

6. I will give supernatural wisdom and prophetic guidance to My people so that they can be led safely through if they will listen. I will do nothing in the earth until I reveal it to My prophets but you must discern the true voice of My Spirit from the counterfeit of the enemy.

With every judgment, I will release more of My glory and miracle power into the earth from heaven. It will be progessive. With each wave of judgment, there will come an outpouring of My mercy and grace that will act as a sickle to harvest more of the earth. Then the nations will hear the truth of My gospel message and many will turn to Me and be saved. I will, in My wrath, remember mercy, as it is written.

Many are saying to me now, even in the church, "Look how good it is. I have lots of money, a big house, luxury cars, a great job, a perfect family and fine health. What do I have to worry about? I'm going to go on long vacations, play golf, and sit in my hot tub. Why should I waste my time praying and seeking God? I'm set for life." And so they eat, drink and pursue their ever increasing lusts and pleasures. They are in for a rude awakening. When financial distress and calamity hits and the stock market suddenly falls, they will perish with it. For their hearts love money, pleasures and their idols more than Me. Woe to them, says the Spirit.

Destruction shall come upon them suddenly. (see James 5:1-8) But those that have set their hearts on Me, I will take care of them supernaturally. They shall eat when there are no more trucks carrying food into the cities. The poor of My people shall eat and be satisfied as I perform My miracles for them before the eyes of the world with My endtime prophets. Miracle anointings shall come upon them to such a degree that everyone they pray for will be instantly healed.

I will even use those that don't know me in this supernatural way, but they shall be destroyed by the fire coming out of My true prophets in the end. Moses' rod will swallow up the rods of the false prophets of Baal in the final hour. They shall surely perish in the destruction of Babylon. Amen."

"For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven;
and all the proud, yea, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble:
and the day that cometh shall burn them up,
saith the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch,
But unto you that fear My name shall the
Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings;
and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
And ye shall tread down the wicked;
for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day
that I shall do this saith the LORD of hosts."
(Malachi 4:1-3)

THE HEALING OF GRACE

   

Shabbat shalom dearly beloved:

 

I recently finished directing our Israel Tour and MAP Revolution training and I am still so awed by what YAH did during these last 10 days! I can only say that I hear the sound of the Great End Time Army. Many of the trainees were filled with the Holy Spirit, many were healed in spirit, soul and body and most were radically transformed! When we were on Mount Carmel speaking about Elijah the Prophet and his confrontation with the prophets of Baal, Adonai confirmed His Word right there and people were healed instantly, including a lady that could not walk up and down the stairs without crutches. The Ruach HaKodesh put His people in an ICU training or rather on I SEE YOU training, where all attitudes contrary to the Kingdom were revealed, and according to the willingness of the “patient”, they were also healed! We were people from different nations including USA . Philippines . Cyprus , France and Africa . The last meeting of this MAP Revolution Training was when we invited all the participants to join our 4 AM Team meeting.  That meeting went on until 9 AM and could have continued. The people’s faces had totally changed and there was an awesome resolve in their eyes…True Holy Revolutionaries had been born in only 10 days!

 

GRACE IS SICK

One of the trainees was a lady by the name of Grace from the Philippines . Unbeknown to us she came to the training deathly sick with the auto immune disease of LUPUS. Both Rabbi and I laid hands on her when her condition became critical and tachicardic. She improved and her pulse became normal. Grace continued to travel with us and yet we all watched her become terribly yellow! It was a frightening sight, but we kept on believing for her miracle. Her sister being a Medical Doctor herself and also one of the trainees, told us that she had lost many family member to LUPUS! This was a family curse! Her mother, (also one of the trainees present), was extremely scared that she was going to lose another daughter. she had lost one to Lupus in the recent past. The whole family came expecting a miracle!

 

Meanwhile we arrived to the Jordan River Baptismal site to do the Mikveh of the Bride for purification. This was a time of rededication and Grace insisted of partaking of it. Her character was changing! She had been a “victim” for a long time and YAH was teaching her to be a soldier and an overcomer. However we all watched her going from yellow to GREEN! Her face was a frightening green color.  Though I am a woman of faith and the doctors were cooperating with Grace’s desire, I found myself wondering if this was the right thing! Grace kept going and we went up from the Galilee to The City of the King- Jerusalem!

 

THE JERUSALEM MIRACLE

On the first day in Jerusalem I took the group to walk on the walls of Jerusalem proclaiming God’s Promises over Israel . The climb is very steep and the walk is quite uncomfortable as we walk mainly on stones going up and down steep stairs. Grace insisted on coming! She wanted to fulfill the commandment written in Isaiah 62.

 

I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem ; They shall never hold their peace day or night. You who make mention of Yahveh, do not keep silent, And give Him no rest till He establishes And till He makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.  Isaiah 62:6-7

 

I must confess that I was quite skeptical that she would make it! However she was aided by Gabriela the dancer, our team member and by others.  Not only did she make it, but continued walking throughout the city of Jerusalem up and down countless of stairs and stones! She finally made it to the Temple Mount Excavations and to the Hulda Gate ancient entrance to the Holy Temple below Mount Moriah . She had been walking like this with us for nearly 6 hours! I was amazed! But I also was concerned.

 

CRITICAL CONDITION

Back in the hotel later that evening I heard a commotion, Grace was not doing well. Her hemoglobin had dropped to 5 (the normal count is between 12-14!) It looked like Lupus was trying to kill her quickly! I called The Almighty on His Covenant Promise in Genesis 12:3- That He will bless those that bless Abraham and His descendants the People of Israel.  Grace had come to His Land and had insisted on walking on Jerusalem ’s Walls declaring Elohim’s Promises for Israel …Surely He would keep His Word! I and probably many others had placed a request amidst the stones of the KOTEL (The Western Wall) and had asked The Father for a completed miracle. This family had lost too many victims to LUPUS!

 

“I will bless those who bless you, And I will curse him who curses you; And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.” Genesis 12:3

 

The Holy Spirit whispered in my ears “Grace is in CRITICAL CONDITION”, one of her doctors confirmed it. She must have oxygen immediately! Her hemoglobin was dangerously low. I called an ambulance to come with OXYGEN! Against Grace’s most deep desires she was taken to the hospital with a delegation that included  doctor Hency from the tour, Pastors Tito and Jocelyn Sanchez and Rabbi Baruch. They spent the night in the ICU (!) of the Jerusalem Hospital called “Shaarei Tsedek” which means “THE GATES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS”. She was in Room # 3. The accompanying party spent the night in the hospital and I spent the night calling at regular intervals. Grace was receiving OXYGEN and she had to have a BLOOD TRANSFUSION!

 

YAH’S  PDT

Now, I am not a big fan of blood transfusions as the Holy Scriptures say that the LIFE of the soul is in the blood.  So this is not only a physical issue but a spiritual issue. Do we know what kind of person was the donor? (Leviticus 17:11) Someone even mentioned that in the past Grace had received blood from an African person and her skin began to turn darker afterwards! While dark is beautiful, Grace is a Filipino! In spite of my concerns about THE BLOOD TRANSFUSION, I had peace from The Father. Somehow this was His plan and He was answering our prayers in a very prophetic and creative way! This was HIS SHOW !

 

Throughout the training all of us in the team were flowing in what we call PDT that is PROPHETIC DANCE THEATRE. PDT is the tool that YAHVEH has given us in order to communicate His Kingdom with prophetic preaching accompanied with dance, acting and singing. PDT is when God ACTS through us in real life situations in order to bring His Word! All prophets of old were real life actors! Isaiah walked naked in Jerusalem for three years (Isaiah 20:2,3). Ezekiel acted the exile to Babylon . Hosea married a prostitute to act the Word.  Jonah acted the wild prophet that had been “bleached” in the belly of the Big Fish during three nights and three days. Y’shua acted the jealousy of YAH when He used a cord of ropes to drive away the greedy Temple merchants. Yes all true prophets and apostles are actors and demonstrators of YAH’s Word and Kingdom! In fact Rav Shaul, (Apostle Paul) said that He was a “Fool for Messiah’s sake”.  King David danced in his ephod as he brought the Ark of The Covenant to Jerusalem . His wife Michal was so ashamed of his “utterly foolish behavior” that she despised him and became BARREN until the end of her life (WARNING!!!)

 

Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, “How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants, as one of the base fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!” So David said to Michal, “It was before Yahveh, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of Yahveh, over Israel . Therefore I will play music before Yahveh. And I will be even more undignified than this, and will be humble in my own sight. But as for the maidservants of whom you have spoken, by them I will be held in honor.” Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.

2 Samuel 6:20-23

 

WE REALIZED THAT YAHVEH WAS SPEAKING A MESSAGE TO US!

 

THE MESSAGE!

It dawned on me that:

 

Grace was SICK and in CRITICAL CONDITION and that she needed OXYGEN and BLOOD in order to LIVE. The only way to get this accomplished was through a BLOOD TRANSFUSION in a JEWISH HOSPITAL called THE GATES OF RIGHTEOUSNESS in Room # 3. She was to receive TWO BAGS (a double portion!) of JEWISH BLOOD!  Anything other than that SHE WOULD DIE!

 

In talking with the accompanying Dr. Hency I asked her about this BLOOD TRANSFUSION and the prognosis for recovery and she said: “If Grace ACCEPTS the (Jewish) BLOOD (life!); she will begin to RECOVER IMMEDITELY! If she REJECTS the (Jewish) BLOOD she can DIE!

 

So now we were all waiting for the NEWS from the hospital’s ICU: “Will Grace ACCEPT this ISRAELI BLOOD and LIVE? Or will she die? I was confident that Elohim had heard us! Then the GOOD NEWS came that she had TOTALLY ACCEPTED THE BLOOD and that she was rapidly improving, her skin color had improved dramatically and she could get up to the toilet by herself and even GOT HUNGRY! I knew that we had a SUCCESFUL TRANSFUSION. Grace would LIVE and not DIE, and declare the Works of Yahveh! Then I told our people that YAH had just ACTED before us the message of Romans 11:5,

 

For if their(the Jews) being cast away is the reconciling of the world, what will their (the Jews and Jewish Roots) acceptance be but life from the dead?  Romans 11:15

 

The only way for the Body of Messiah to recover from a “SICK GRACE GOSPEL” is by exercising Genesis 12:3 and by receiving “THE JEWISH BLOOD”, the JEWISH ROOTS OF THE FAITH. THE GOSPEL MADE IN ZION ! Adonai is putting the ENTIRE BODY WORLDWIDE in His ICU, (I SEE YOU), in His “Gates of Righteousness Hospital”. We need a BLOOD TRANSFUSION as the auto immune disease of Replacement Theology is killing us. The only hope is,

 

The acceptance of the Jews (and the Jewish Roots of the faith) which is LIFE FROM THE DEAD!!!

 

GRACE IS RELEASED FOR SHABBAT

Today as the training ended and since most of the people are staying on we have decide to bring the entire TEAM to the JERUSALEM GOLD HOTEL to celebrate Shabbat with our GRADUATES.

 

THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT GRACE IS RELEASED FROM THE HOSPITAL TODAY AND SHE WILL BE WITH US ON SHABBAT!

 

May the Grace of the Shabbat be with you all in Y’shua’s name! Amen

 

“If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, From doing your pleasure on My holy day, And call the Sabbath a delight, The holy day of Yahveh honorable, And shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, Nor finding your own pleasure, Nor speaking your own words, Then you shall delight yourself in Yahveh;  And I will cause you to ride on the high hills of the earth, And feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of Yahveh has spoken.” Isaiah 58:13-14

"Who do you run to beloveds? What is your first thought when you are sick or stressed?

I tell you that not many run to ME. Their first thoughts are a doctor, or a pill, a psychiatrist for their teenager, or a psychologist. Their first thoughts are seldom that GOD is all powerful and Almighty and I can put all my trust in Him.

It is because you have become fat and self sufficient. You are wealthy in the ways of the world but in the ways of Your GOD you are greatly insufficient and impoverished. Your faith is so weak that you negate the ability of the Almighty One to do what His Word says!

You then wonder why you have run amuck in this nation. Your belief that I will come in response to your prayers is directly proportional to your self sufficient pride. If you can take care of it, then you don't NEED ME.

But if you are desperate, then you have no choice. So I have made many desperate that they might no longer trust in themselves. I have taken away some hedges so that you cannot rely on your own strength and your own wealth to solve your problems.

I don't do much in the midst of unbelief. I cannot. There is a law of reaping and sowing. If you sow to self sufficiency, then you will reap poverty of soul. If you TRUST in ME rather than your own pride and self sufficiency, then miracles happen.

Provision comes because you are asking ME to help instead of only trusting in yourself. FAITH only works from a perspective of TRUST in ME and My Word over every other avenue there is. If you choose the world, then you will not receive from Me. I've told you that a double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

Now there ARE times when I lead you to do something to help your own situation in order to humble yourselves. It requires HUMILITY to ask for help, and it also requires PATIENCE, another fruit to use some of the other avenues of help. In fact IMPATIENCE is one avenue to self sufficiency. So many don't like WAITING on ME.

So many just want to do things their own way, then later wonder why I'm not in the equation if things don't go as expected. If you leave me out in the first place, then don't blame ME for staying out of your business.

I said, ASK and you shall receive. Knock and the door will be opened. INTIMACY is the way of trust. INTIMACY is the way of FAITH. RUNNING to ME, rather than to others and science and worldly wisdom FIRST is the Way of GOD. It requires trust and waiting on ME for an answer.

So many lack the patience to do that, so they go their own way... just like at the tower of BABEL. Remember that beloveds? I told some people to spread out throughout the earth and procreate. Instead they decided to stay in one place and seek their OWN will. I want you to remember this, because what came from that rebellion to MY WILL was confusion.

If you have been confused of late, you might check whether you have been under attack or whether you have been in rebellion to MY will, or even sought My will. Patient waiting and meditation on My Word brings tremendous results beloveds. Intimacy with ME always leads to GRACE and wisdom. Those that WAIT on the LORD will mount up with wings as EAGLES!

In quietness and rest is RESTORATION. For I AM WITH YOU in the storms and I am with you in all circumstances as I live inside you. You have but to look INWARD to MY life within you. To REST in ME, is to look interior, to the Spirit that is within you for all the answers.

It is not necessary to STRIVE and to FRET. Less time stressing and worrying, and more time resting and waiting will serve you well. QUIET CONFIDENCE will prove more fruitful any day than all the fear, distrust and nervousness that is in the world.

There would be far less need for pills if people trusted in ME and laid down and rested and TRUSTED in MY wisdom and MY strength rather than their own. Remember that I said that My yoke is easy! How c an it be easy and hard at the same time? - By you trying hard - By you taking the reins - By you turning your own way rather than running into My arms!

The tables have been turned and I know many are tired and weary from all the testings. So I tell you now to SPEAK MY WORD and watch what I will do! TRUST in ME to do what I've told you I will do. It is the 11th hour and it is time for HARVEST.

It is time to proclaim the year of the LORD! It is time to walk forward without looking back. It is time to thrust the enemy through, using My WORD with confidence, and hacking demons up in little pieces by cutting them through with the WORD, YOUR SWORD! It is time to take an OFFENSIVE stand, and not just a defensive one!

It is a JOSHUA time when it is your turn to TAKE THE LAND. Do not look at circumstances around you. CALL FORTH MY WORD. PROPHESY to the heavens. Prophesy to DEMONS. Be BOLD. BE STRONG in the power of MY might!"

Micah 4:6-9 NKJV Zion's Future Triumph "In that day," says the LORD, "I will assemble the lame, I will gather the outcast And those whom I have afflicted; 7 I will make the lame a remnant, And the outcast a strong nation; So the LORD will reign over them in Mount Zion From now on, even forever. 8 And you, O tower of the flock, The stronghold of the daughter of Zion, To you shall it come, Even the former dominion shall come, The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem." 9 Now why do you cry aloud who say, "Let her be defiled, And let our eye look upon Zion."

12 But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD, Nor do they understand His counsel; For He will gather them like sheaves to the threshing floor. 13 "Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; For I will make your horn iron, And I will make your hooves bronze; You shall beat in pieces many peoples; I will consecrate their gain to the LORD, And their substance to the Lord o f the whole earth."

Isaiah 35 The Future Glory of Zion

1 The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, And the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose; 2 It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, Even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, The excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the LORD, The excellency of our God. 3 Strengthen the weak hands, And make firm the feeble knees. 4 Say to those who are fearful-hearted, "Be strong, do not fear Behold, your God will come with vengeance, With the recompense of God; He will come and save you." 5 Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, And the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. 6 Then the lame shall leap like a deer, And the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, And streams in the desert.

7 The parched ground shall become a pool, And the thirsty land springs of water; In the habitation of jackals, where each lay, There shall be grass with reeds and rushes. And it shall be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it, But it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, Shall not go astray. 9 No lion shall be there, Nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it; It shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk there, 10 And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Num 23:24 Look, a people rises like a lioness, and lifts itself up like a lion ; It shall not lie down until it devours the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain." NKJV

Isa 31:4-5 NKJV God Will Deliver Jerusalem For thus the LORD has spoken to me: "As a lion roars, And a young lion over his prey (When a multitude of shepherds is summoned aga inst him, He will not be afraid of their voice Nor be disturbed by their noise), So the LORD of hosts will come down to fight for Mount Zion and for its hill. 5 Like birds flying about, So will the LORD of hosts defend Jerusalem. Defending, He will also deliver it; Passing over, He will preserve it."

Amen! That's one of the hymns I memorized and will sing sometimes when I'm out and about. Sunday blessings to you, Carbine! jm

“God is our Refuge and Strength, a very present Help in trouble.” Psalm 46:1

A MIGHTY FORTRESS IS OUR GOD

A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and power are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.

Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing;
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.

And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us:
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him;
His rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.

That word above all earthly powers, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth:
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also;
The body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.

Scripture: Matthew 11:29 1 Corinthians 10:13

Drudgery


"I must admit I feel a lot of pressure with two children under two years of age. I am committed to do it until they are in school, however, and feel it is God's will. At times like this--when I wonder if I will even be able to finish this letter with both of them screaming for something--or when I miss going to lunch or getting dressed up, everyday life seems a drudgery. I worked hard to get through college -- to be a scrubwoman, ha!"

I understand this mother's cry. So does the Lord. He has given us this word: "No temptation has come your way that is too hard for flesh and blood to bear. But God can be trusted not to allow you to suffer any temptation beyond your powers of endurance. He will see to it that every temptation has a way out, so that it will never be impossible for you to bear it" (1 Corinthians 10:13, PHILLIPS).

"A way out," I can hear her say, "What mother has a way out?"

The New English Bible translation throws light on this: "a way out, by enabling you to sustain it." Think, too, of Jesus' words, "My yoke is easy and my burden is light" (Matthew 11:29 AV). He is willing to bear our burdens with us, if only we will come to Him and share the yoke, His yoke.

I saw this principle in operation when I visited the Dohnavur Fellowship in India. There, day after day, year in and year out, Indian women (most of them single) care for little children, handicapped children, infirm adults, old folks. They don't go anywhere. They have none of our usual forms of amusement and diversion. They work with extremely primitive equipment--there is no running water, for example, no stoves but wood-burning ones, no washing machines. In one of the buildings I saw this text: "There they dwelt with the King for His work." That's the secret. They do it for Him. They ask for and receive His grace to do it. I saw the joy in their lovely faces.

END TIME AVAILABILITY



Shabbat Shalom dearly beloved:



But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33



We are leaving in a very busy 21st century. Most of us have no time for each other and definitely not much time for God. If we call any company at all, we will have a recording that tells us that all the lines are busy, so “hold the line”. It is very rare to have any human available, it is normally the machines that we hear telling us to “leave a message” or to “wait until next available attendant”. If people are not busy “doing things” then they are busy imagining things and playing with fantasy through the “virtual world” of the internet, computer games, DVDs and videos. Escaping from reality, relationships and responsibilities seem to be the norm. There is a moral and relational bankruptcy that if not stopped will lead us to utter destruction. This is the End Time roller coaster of the “Self Life”. The 21st Century lifestyle is utterly UNAVAILABLE to the Creator and unavailable to true lasting relationships. This “unavailability” is costing humanity dearly as the Mental Hospitals are filled to the brim and the demands for psychologists, psychiatrists and medications is alarmingly increasing and becoming the norm. Who will stop the world so we can come down???



In order to know why we should stop the world or at least our own world so we can become AVAILABLE, we need to understand what is the CAUSE for all this endless futile activity! With no doubt the two main causes are:



Making a living
Recreation and Entertainment
People are busy making a living and are MISSING LIFE ALTOGETHER! Their thoughts revolve around money and possessions or the lack thereof. The same is for the believers and for the unbelievers. In the 21st century money equals happiness and the more, the better. It does not matter that you have to take anti depressants or anti acids or anti stress medications as long as you “make a living”. Most people, Christians included, are unavailable to The Almighty. They have no time for Kingdom Business as they are too busy with their lives. Even if YAH (God) where to speak, the lines would be busy and your little internal voice would say to The Creator of the Universe…”Hold the line”



Because of the enormous amount of stress in “making a living” and meeting the demands of the 21st Century society, people have become “entertainment junkies” and use anything that can relieve tension. For the most part there is no discrimination, not even among believers of what is right to watch and use and what is wrong. Parents will allow Nintendo and ungodly horror, witchcraft and even border line porno films as long as they keep their kids entertained while the adults are busy making a living. The same happens in the Church and outside of the Church. And again when Elohim calls on our inner line, we are busy with vain imaginations and will not answer Him.



I have written previous messages given to me by The Holy Spirit about the need to STOP all of our agendas and our Self Life! If we won’t stop, we will find ourselves very far from Him and will pretend not to know “what happened”. All kinds of events will start to happen that will force us to STOP!



YAHVEH REQUIRES UNDIVIDED ATTENTION

FROM HIS PEOPLE



He is not whispering any longer! He is SHOUTING!



Does not wisdom cry out, And understanding lift up her voice? She takes her stand on the top of the high hill, Beside the way, where the paths meet. She cries out by the gates, at the entry of the city, At the entrance of the doors: “To you, O men, I call, And my voice is to the sons of men. O you simple ones, understand prudence, And you fools, be of an understanding heart. Listen, for I will speak of excellent things, And from the opening of my lips will come right things; For my mouth will speak truth; Wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my mouth are with righteousness; Nothing crooked or perverse is in them. They are all plain to him who understands, And right to those who find knowledge. Receive my instruction, and not silver, And knowledge rather than choice gold; For wisdom is better than rubies, And all the things one may desire cannot be compared with her. Proverbs 8:1-11



Ring, ring, ring, ring…..The Almighty is on the LINE with the Church world wide.. ”It is time to REPENT to RETURN to the original Jewish Foundations of faith, to the HOLINESS and RIGHTEOUSNESS of the Early Community of Believers in Jerusalem. The 21st Century like the 1st Century… The 21st Century like the 1st Century … The 21st Century like the 1st Century …Shalom anybody HOME???



If you are available to take this CALL, then STOP everything and come and TRAIN with us in Israel to become AVAILABLE to YAH’S END TIME ARMY! Answer THE CALL NOW . Yahveh will not “hold the line”.



The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem . Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of Yahveh ’s house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And all nations shall flow to it. Many people shall come and say, “ Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Yahveh, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of Yahveh from Jerusalem . Isaiah 2:1-3



Available for Him



Your friends in Israel

Hello all, I posted this in September, but it bears repeating. I have highlighted a few places, very inspiring.

Thanks, jm

THE WEDDING SUPPER
MAURICE SKLAR MINISTRIES
Sep 22, 2006

            About two weeks ago, early on Sunday morning as I was preparing to go to church, I had a vision. I was caught up into heaven and I saw angels all around me. They were working and making preparations for what looked like a banquet. Everything was white – white canopies, white pavilions, white gazebos, what looked like white silk instead of canvas covering massive outdoor tents with elegant plumes and sashes hanging from white poles. It was clear as I looked around that th ere remained much more work to do.

            The Lord then spoke to me and He said, “Do you know what this is?” I replied, “No Sir, but it looks like some kind of big garden party you are getting ready for.” He said, “My son, this is preparations for My Wedding Supper. All of heaven has been waiting for this day. It is almost time for Me to come for My Bride. There is great joy and celebration here in anticipation for the moment when I shall call her out of the earth.” 

            It was so beautiful! The grass was so perfect. The flowers were blooming and the flower arrangements were being gathered from the nearby rose gardens by the angels. I had never seen such bright colors as those that were in those flowers!

            Everything was perfect wherever I looked. There were white doves that were flying with streamers that they were wrapping around the tent poles. They were in perfect symmetry as they would circle and wrap them. It reminded me of a May Day celebration that I saw once as a child, where there was a pole that was being wrapped in geometric designs by children as they circled it with their streamers. It ended up looking like a candy cane, but these were all in pastel colors of every hue of the rainbow. They were breathtaking to watch!

            Then I saw the tables being brought in and placed next to each other. They stretched out under these outdoor tent pavilions as far as the eye could see. As I looked closer, I could see at each place setting there was a golden rectangular nameplate. As I looked, some were intricately engraved with the names of those that were to be seated there. Some of these name plates were encrusted with jewels that sparkled and glowed like there was a bright light shining behind them. Others were just with a plain name.

            The tables were not fully set, but I saw that it was the most elegant party preparation that I had ever seen. It could not be compared to anything on this earth. There was great joy and excitement in the air. The angels were singing in the most awesome songs as they worked. As I listened a little closer, I thought that I could hear the words as they sang about the righteous deeds of those that were to be seated where they were working.

            Then the Lord said to me, “Tell My Bride that I am coming soon! Everything is being prepared. In a little while, all sorrow, pain, sickness, poverty, and every teardrop will be wiped away. There is only a little longer that you must labor. You must work now while it is still time, for the darkness is soon coming upon the earth when all will be in tribulation. Stay ready and remain alert in watching and praying. I will surely come for you, just as I promised in My Word.”

            Then I was back in my room again, and I got in the shower to get ready for church. This is the account of the vision I received earlier this month.

My love to you all in Our Messiah!
