July 1st and 2nd Visitations

Visitations on 7-1/2-2011

On 7-1-11, the Lord showed Susan three snakes that left the foundation of the regional church during the ending of the service that night. Three ancient snakes were driven out by what the Lord had done in our midst because of the Great Glory that cleansed and flooded everyone in the service. The dealings of God over these past 30 days have culminated in a great spirituazl breakthrough for our region.

*********************************

Patrick said to susan that Bob Jones had talked about the snakes in his 2003 Shepherds Rod: so we posted some of the excerpts form it here:

THE HEAD OF LION AND BODY OF A MAN

The Lord continued to use a symbolic picture to illustrate an image with the body of a man and the head of the lion. This unique being was shown visiting some of the cities of the East Coast. This was displayed to indicate a visitation to the East Coast with the spiritual purposes represented by this creature. It will be characterized through the “overcoming” authority of the Lord as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Much will be released through praise this year.

And one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals. (Revelation 5:5)

There is something significant about the East Coast that will experience a display of outpouring or visitation sometime in the very near future. The Head clearly is depicting the Lord coming as the overcoming Lion resting in a place of headship over man.

In the vision, Bob was instructed to pour a drink of cool water into the mouth of the lion. Naturally, this was a fearful thing. The lion had the appearance of the most overwhelming and powerful creature imaginable. At first, Bob was nervous about the instruction and poured the water as best he could although missing the lion's mouth on occasion. However, the more he did so, the more comfortable and acclimated he became and was able to finally pour the drink offering without spilling any.

TO KISS THE “SON” He is calling us to kiss the Son.

Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. (Psalm 2:12)

It is an imperative reality that must take place during this time. The lion like features of this spiritual expression are somewhat fearful and overwhelming. This will produce a reverential awe in our hearts that will further compel us to draw close to Him and kiss Him in loving submission. Submission is a position of yieldedness that transcends obedience.

This prophetic admonition is calling us to a place of fellowship and intimacy that will influence every aspect of our lives. We will only be able to meet the demands and mandates for this season of human history from a place of communion and personal exchange with the Lord. Once a reality, consecrated saints emerge from ministering to Him in His private chambers, carrying an anointing of Heavenly power and authority to influence this world.

PRAYER— PRAISE— PROPHECY

There will be a praise offering to the Lord through the Holy Spirit identified in Psalm 78. The sweet drink offerings that we are being allowed to offer Him can be found in this passage. The drink offering will be prayer, praise and prophecy.

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving (praise) let you requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)

This is another prophetic representation illustrating God's people offering to the Lord drink offerings of prayer, praise and true prophetic proclamation. This will satisfy His thirst and release Him to accomplish Kingdom objectives. Although we may miss a little at first, the more understanding we gain, the more capable we will become to "hit the mark."

PSALM 78

Psalm 78 is a strategic Psalm for this hour to introduce fresh expressions of praise and worship to begin to provide "hallow" ground upon which the Lord is free to walk. To “hallow” means to consecrate or make holy.

This Psalm can be divided according to the following outline from Barnes Notes:

I. A call on all the people, addressed to them by the king or the ruler, to attend to the instructions of former times the lessons which it was of importance to transmit to future generations. (Psalm 78:1-4).

II. God had established a general law which he had designed for all the people, or which he intended should be the law of the nation as such that all the people might set their hope in God, or be worshippers of Him as the only true God, and that they might all be one people. (Psalm 78:5-8)

III. Ephraim the most powerful of the ten tribes, and their head and representative had been guilty of disregarding that law, and had refused to come to the common defense of the nation. (Psalm 78:9-11)

IV. The wickedness of this rebellion is shown by the great favors which, in its former history, God had shown to the nation as such, including these very tribes. (Psalm 78:12-66)

V. The reason is stated, founded on their apostasy, why God had rejected Ephraim, and why he had chosen Judah, and made Zion the capital of the nation, instead of selecting a place within the limits of the tribe of Ephraim for that purpose. (Psalm 78:67-68)

VI. The fact is declared that David had been chosen to rule over the people; that he had been taken from humble life, and made the ruler of the nation, and that the line of the sovereignty had been settled in him. (Psalm 78:69-72)

David represents a form of leadership devoted to Prayer, Praise and Prophecy. The three P's will spiritually “hallow” or dedicate to God those places of worship. Ultimately, the Lord wishes to “hallow” us, the “ground” upon which He is desires to rest.

A DEDICATED TEMPLE

At the time Solomon dedicated the Temple, the priests of the Lord gathered in unity as one voice, arrayed in white linen, representing their consecration. From that “hallowed position they offered to God praises, prayer and prophetic proclamations. When this was done, a divine cloud appeared as a visible representation of the Lord's manifest Presence to occupy His sanctuary. Solomon had provided "hallowed" ground upon which the Lord was willing to rest.

The construction and dedication of Solomon's Temple provides a prophetic depiction of the high mandate for our generation. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit and it is in us that He desires to dwell. It is through us, His Body, that he will fulfill every purpose of Heaven on the earth.

This reality will demonstrate the beginning of the “tabernacle of David” form of worship. Expressions of this will become more evident on the East Coast if the Lord can find “hallowed” places devoted to Him. Once established, it will begin to spread rapidly.

On the morning of Atonement, I was also given a prophetic dream that emphasized the importance of this reality. In it I observed what was to be determined as places of worship. They were illustrated as Churches and other facilities used by Christians. On the surface they appeared strong and built upon firm foundations. However, the Holy Spirit allowed a view of the ground upon which the facilities were built.

In actuality, the buildings were constructed upon foundations that were infiltrated with tunnels and secret chambers. It looked very similar to scenes sometimes depicted during World War II and the Vietnam War when the enemy prepared elaborate networks of underground tunnels and compartments. However, in this prophetic analogy the tunnels were occupied by evil spirits represented by serpents.

The two serpents occupying these tunnels and rooms under the foundation of Christian facilities were the Python and Cobra. The Python is a symbol illustrating the spirit of divination. In Acts 16:16 we discover the apostle Paul rebuking this spirit working through a young girl.

And it happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a certain slave-girl having a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing her masters much profit by fortunetelling. Following after Paul and us, she kept crying out, saying, "These men are bond-servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation."

And she continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!" And it came out at that very moment. (Acts 16:16-18)

The term translated “divination” is the Greek word “puthon” from which we get the English word, "python." This can represent a form of counterfeit spiritual revelation masquerading as the Spirit of Truth.

The other evil spirit was featured by the Cobra and finds its origin in ancient Egyptian spiritualism representing the spirit of control and manipulation.

These two spirits had secretly infiltrated the foundation upon which the Churches had been built. Because of this network of tunnels, the ground was weak and vulnerable and incapable of sustaining the weighty presence of God He desired to bring.

I continued to watch as the Lord enlisted three brave and specially equipped men to invade the tunnels and eradicate the enemy. I was amazed at the valor and strength of these men and their willingness to serve in this manner.

Within a short season, these soldiers of the faith began to emerge from the network of tunnels eroding the foundation, with scores of serpents formerly hidden and occupying the network of tunnels. I was amazed, not only at the number of their victims, but also the speed with which they were able to extract them.

I believe this is a picture of the "hallowing" of sacred ground upon which the Lord desires to visit. This is true not only with our places of worship but especially within us as individuals. From this experience, we have begun to earnestly ask the Lord, by His grace, to "hallow" this ground within us and extract everything that would erode the foundation upon which He desires to build.

The Python is divining and the Cobra is the controlling spirit. Prayer, praise and prophecy will begin to identify and eradicate the spiritual opposition that has polluted the very ground upon which the Lord desires to establish Himself and His Church. These are the three men that were sent into the tunnel.

It will cause love to began to overflow from our spirits because of the reverential fear and awe that will be established in the hearts of sincere believers.

From Slavery To Kingship - Your Chains Have Been Broken

"When You Wish Upon A Star"

July 1, 2011 - We have just crossed over into the latter half of 2011. Things are about to radically change, as the world pace picks up for the billion-fold harvest of souls which are about to come into the Kingdom of God.

Nothing will be posted on this site from this point unless it comes directly from heaven. The above song - "When you wish upon a star" - comes to you on this day directly from heaven. If you believe the words of the song, so shall it quickly come to pass, for your Star is Jesus. Expect the impossible, and do not focus on the problem. Focus on the star, and expect the impossible.

***************************************

THE CENTRAL THEME (2003 Shepherd’s Rod continued.)

The Holy Spirit announced, “Wise men still follow His star and seek Him with their whole heart.” Although the "Herods" continue to rule this world's system, a company of “wise-men” will pursue the Lord.

Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him. When Herod the king heard this he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. (Matthew 2:2-3)

Wise men and women still follow His star and seek Him. However, the “Herods,” embody a spiritual influence promoting a territorial form of leadership with personal agendas and selfish ambitions. This spirit will attempt to destroy that which is being birthed because of the perceived threat it would pose to that form of leadership.

“Herod” was not a personal name but a generic name given to identify this family reign. It belonged alike to all the generations of the Herodian house as known to the Scriptures. It was more of an identification or designation for this ruling authority. It is important that we recognize this as a spiritual enemy striving to work through some within the Church. Therefore, it can be confronted through prayer and intercession.

During His earthly ministry, the Lord pointed out that the Holy Spirit sent wise men, prophets and teachers as a light to the people of God. Nevertheless, the worldly-minded leadership did not receive them or their message of illumination.

Therefore, behold, I am sending you prophets and wise men and scribes; some of the you will kill and crucify, and some of the you will scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city. (Matthew 23:34)

There remains in the Church today “wise-men” who follow the signs of the time and the revelation of His Word that is announcing the birthing of the Kingdom of Heaven in the earth. Our calling and admonition in this hour is to clearly distinguish the "star" revealed in the Scriptures and confirmed with numerous signs that is leading to a Kingdom reality being established for this generation.

Our wise counsel is to experientially comprehend that the Lord loves those who love Him. Those who diligently pursue Him will find Him. Although the acquisition of knowledge in the Scriptures and spiritual matters is a noble pursuit, it is no substitute for knowing Him and becoming intimately acquainted with Him in a union relationship. “Wise-men” will come to “know” their God and will display strength and take action” (Daniel 11:32).

The three staffs that were broken in Zechariah are being restored in this hour.

So I pastured the flock doomed to slaughter, hence the afflicted of the flock. And I took for myself two staffs: the one I called Favor and the other I called Union; so I pastured the flock. Then I annihilated the three shepherds in one month, for my soul was impatient with them, and their soul also was weary of me. (Zechariah 11:7-8)

The government of God is being established with the restoration of the apostolic leaders, prophetic voices and priestly teachers functioning with mature authority and power. Thus far we have only seen the embryonic stage of this calling. However, there is an escalated growth that is to take place during the coming season that will cause this ministry to begin to take shape and administrate God's purposes.

Our 7-2-11 Visitations

On 6-1-11 our fish lamp began to go backwards. The motor in the natural cannot change by itself because it would burn up. 30 days went by. Then today, on July 2nd, we noticed that the fish lamp switched again this afternoon and began turning the right direction again. Something switched today in the earth and in the heavenlies.

The Lord then showed Susan that just as God turned back the sundial and stooped the sun from advancing till the battle was won, so He also had given us those extra 30 days to get the regional victory so that we ccould move further forward into what the Lord has prepared for us to do in the harvest now breaking open here. That is why the fish lamp began to go forwards again today.

***************************************

Then Debra called us from Michigan and said that her house smoke alarms have gone off three times in the past month. Each time there was no reason for them to sound off, and no problem was found in it. The third time was today, 7-2-11, the day the fish lamp turned back the other direction. She called to tell us of the sign. We shared with her about our fish lamp changing directions 3 times in the last month too; forwards, backwards, and then forwards. Three smoke alarms in 30 days.

************************************

There were seven of us were sitting in our living room tonight praying and the fire of God came in and we were all on fire. I saw a vision of an angel that was sitting on floor with his legs out in front of him and he had a very big book on his lap. He was turning the pages of the book. I saw one page that had a large number ‘6’ on it.

Then he turned the next page and it had a large number ‘2’ on it. Then he slowly turned the third page and it had a large number ‘4’ on it. As soon as he turned that page all of the rest of the pages flew by so fast they were a blur and no one could read it.

Then in the next vision, I saw a scene where Jesus was teaching on top of a mountain with many people seated all around him listening to him speak. He was pointing and speaking to them all. Then I saw out further past them all to the earth that was around the base of the mountain. Everything that was not on that mountain slowly began to rotate and to turn and spin and it got faster and louder and windier and more chaotic and great clouds of dust were stirred up by the violent rotation of the earth as it turned rapidly, but all of the people who were sitting and listening to Jesus speak were sitting in total peace and security and did not know anything was happening. But there were great forces spinning the world around the mountain that it looked like a great jet engine spinning or a washing machine on the spin cycle. It was very violent, but totally peaceful on the mountain.

John 6:2-4
2And a large crowd was following him, because they saw the signs that he was doing on the sick. 3Jesus went up on the mountain, and there he sat down with his disciples. 4Now the Passover, the feast of the Jews, was at hand.

So, we looked up scriptures that dealt with 6,2,4:

The 6th month, 24th day:

Haggai 1:
14And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and worked on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God, 15 on the twenty-fourth day of the month, in the sixth month, in the second year of Darius the king.

Isaiah 6:2-4
1In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3And one called to another and said: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!" 4And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled with smoke.

Roxane saw us all walking through a cylindrical tube-like Chamber of sorts and every time we passed through a section of the chamber, a door would shut and you could hear the sound of it seal behind us all.

Proverbs 24:3,4
KJV 1 Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. 2 For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief. 3 Through wisdom is an house builded; and by understanding it is established: 4 And by knowledge shall the chambers be filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

ESV 1 Be not envious of evil men, nor desire to be with them, 2 for their hearts devise violence, and their lips talk of trouble. 3 By wisdom a house is built, and by understanding it is established; 4 by knowledge the rooms are filled with all precious and pleasant riches.

New Years Eve, 6 months ago Roxane brought in the two statues to our church. One statue was of 8 white horses running and the other statue was of 4 red horses running. Then we felt led to take home the statue of the 8 white horses and we left the statue of the 4 red horses in the church, and now, the Lord showed us to change them and so on 7-3-11 we will bring back in the white horses, and remove the red ones. His purging work was accomplished in our midst and now God wants to build and establish His House in the midst of the lands.

Revelations 6:2-4
2 And I looked, and behold, a white horse! And its rider had a bow, and a crown was given to him, and he came out conquering, and to conquer. 3 When he opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" 4 And out came another horse, bright red. Its rider was permitted to take peace from the earth, so that people should slay one another, and he was given a great sword.
