Insights for California

 Some Prophetic Insights for California:

On Wednesday, the Lord showed me a vision. In the vision I saw the angel named Winds of Change. He was blowing in the wind and he had with him 3 garments. They were blowing in the winds with him. One garment was purple, one garment was green, and one garment was blue. I immediately knew that these 3 garments represented 3 months, and that over the 3 months, there were different revelations that God would release to further clothe us with Himself. The 3 colors are represented of those different revelations that would be given to us likened as to being garments or impartations that would further clothe us in His fullness that He is preparing us for. The Lord is offering them to those who are willing to embrace more of the Winds of Change.

The garments are as follows:

Purple: April         Green: May        Blue: June

Then tonight at the prayer watch at church, we felt led to pray for California the whole 2 hour watch. The Lord began to show us more:
I saw the state of California laid out flat, and there were angels digging in the ground with shovels and they were looking for ore and jewels. In 3 areas, the angels found jewels.

1 hole they dug brought forth purple Amethyst stones.
1 hole they dug brought forth green Emerald stones.
1 hole they dug brought forth blue Sapphire stones.
I'm sure you see the same theme running here all week.........3 areas, 3 colors, etc.....

Then the Lord showed us the state of California again. 
This time is was flat and a man's form was lying down on the state.

The head and shoulders of the man was in the top 1/3rd of California
The shoulders to the loins was in the middle 1/3rd of California
The loins to the feet was in the lower 1/3rd of California.

The Lord took us to the map on or wall and showed it to us as follows:

Head area: From northern border to Sacramento
Chest/heart area: From Sacramento to Bakersfield
Legs and feet area: From Bakersfield to Bottom border of California.

The Lord then showed us His desire for each of the 3 parts of California in regards to His Body that dwells in California:

The Headship:
The Head and shoulders of the man shape over the top 1/3rd of the state represents the headship of Christ. The Lord has been dealing very strongly with the Body to get out of their heads and into their spirits, so they can hear Him and move into what he wants to in their area. He wants to come and sit on the leadership with His Government now, but they must apprehend their wisdom from above, so they can release it to the Body all over.

The Living Stones:
The Heart and spirit area of the man shape over the middle 1/3rd of the state represents the Spiritual Church - see Hebrews 12- that He wants to birth forth now, to enable the entire heart of California to now beat with the Lords heartbeat and purposes for her. A great change is going to now come to the heart of California to jumpstart the states heart.

The Priesthood:
The feet area, the stature of the Body, of the man shape over the bottom 1/3rd of the state represents the desire that the Body would now mature and step into the fullness of the stature of the measure of Jesus Christ, and for them to stand up in faith and believe the promises of God for California, and then to take the steps necessary to apprehend them.

When they do choose to believe it, and they stand up in faith, the whole Body (state) will be pushed upward till the head of the state is pushed up into the clouds, the heavenlies, to see her prophetic destiny, then the whole Body will know what to do, because the Head will be in the Spirit, but it will take all 3 parts to awaken and move now with God.

The 3 colored stones, represent the months of April, May and June......now, and they have a window open to now apprehend the promises- the stones buried in their foundations- and they will if they will believe and move with God, and step out in faith and act in response to the Lord's instructions to them over the next 3 months.

Purple: The Spirit of the Fear of the Lord
Green: The Spirit of the Lord
Blue: The Spirit of Understanding

Isaiah 11:1 A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;  from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. 2 The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the LORD—3 and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears; 4 but with righteousness he will judge the needy, with justice he will give decisions for the poor of the earth. He will strike the earth with the rod of his mouth; with the breath of his lips he will slay the wicked.5 Righteousness will be his belt and faithfulness the sash around his waist. 6 The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. 7 The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. 8 The infant will play near the cobra’s den, the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest. 9 They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the LORD  as the waters cover the sea. 10 In that day the Root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will rally to him, and his resting place will be glorious. 11 In that day the Lord will reach out his hand a second time to reclaim the surviving remnant of his people from Assyria, from Lower Egypt, from Upper Egypt, from Cush, from Elam, from Babylonia, from Hamath and from the islands of the Mediterranean.

Remember, the Year 2011 was the Line drawn in the Sand. The Bridge Year- Crossing us into the New Year of the Lord's Government- 2012- that now brings forth the removal of that which is old, and the bringing forth of that which the Lord will now establish with the church and within the nations. 

2012-2036: 24 years of the Government of God now emerging in the Church.

Today, in the prayer watch also, the lord spoke regarding the 11:11 revelations that we have been speaking on for many years now. The Isaiah 11:11 mandate of the final great harvest has been initiated and is now breaking forth in small areas and degrees, but with the Winds of Change, more and tumultuous changes will occur to accelerate Heaven's mandates into God's timing and purposes.

Isaiah 22:22 is now in force.

Isaiah 22:20And in that day I will call My servant, Eliakim son of Hilkiah. 21And I will clothe him with your robe and will bind your girdle on him and will commit your authority to his hand; he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. 22And the key of the house of David I will lay upon his shoulder; he shall open and no one shall shut, he shall shut and no one shall open. 23And I will fasten him like a peg or nail in a firm place; and he will become a throne of honor and glory to his father's house. 24And they will hang on him the honor and the whole weight of [responsibility for] his father's house: the offspring and issue [of the family, high and low], every small vessel, from the cups even to all the flasks and big bulging bottles. 25In that day, says the Lord of hosts, the nail or peg that was fastened into the sure place shall give way and be moved and be hewn down and fall, and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off; for the Lord has spoken it.

Pastor Kang, this is why the Lord moved upon Pat and I to give you the golden key, and when we laid prophetically hands upon you to establish the fallen tent of David in your area. It is time for the church to go up to the next level.

No longer 11:11, but now 22:22. Greater authority and responsibility to build up His Church/Regions and their inheritances in Christ.

California has the authority in this 3 month window to birth forth all of her inheritance and to use the Keys of the Kingdom to do this, as they unite with Christ and each other in His Covenant relationship. He will break her through by the Winds of Change and the angel Breakthrough. They are moving in your areas now. It is California's time to step through to the next level, so to speak......

Isaiah 9:6 For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder, and His name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father [of Eternity], Prince of Peace.

Revelations 3:7 "And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: 'The words of the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens.

One other thought: God is highlighting cities where great winds of change will come to bring healing and glory:

Regarding Bakersfield, the city that borders the heart and the feet area:

The Lord brought to me the picture of the Baker being brought out of the prison where Joseph was and being hanged by the king. "Bakers-field" The Lord showed us that there is a stronghold of spiritual bloodshed in that heart and feet area that keeps it from flowing in intimacy and union with the Lord and each other.

Genesis 40:16When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also dreamed, and behold, I had three cake baskets on my head. 17And in the uppermost basket were some of all kinds of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds [of prey] were eating out of the basket on my head. 18And Joseph answered, This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days. 19Within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head but will have you beheaded and hung on a tree, and [you will not so much as be given burial, but] the birds will eat your flesh. 20And on the third day, Pharaoh's birthday, he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the heads of the chief butler and the chief baker [by inviting them also] among his servants. 21And he restored the chief butler to his butlership, and the butler gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand; 22But [Pharaoh] hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

The Baker, the reason he was imprisoned was because he had poisoned the bread.......

We know prophetically that bread is the Word, the teaching, the truth, and discipleship.......also shows that leaders are not feeding the truth to the people. Tainted bread......leaven........also is seen as disunity, discord, brokenness between believers, and areas in the body......

Notice the 3 days above.......similar to the 3 months.....and the 3 colored garments......timing!     Joseph was brought out later, after this. God timed everything to His Purposes.

"Bakers-field" = "Potters-field"

Matthew 27:6 But the chief priests, picking up the pieces of silver, said, It is not legal to put these in the [consecrated] treasury, for it is the price of blood. 7 So after consultation they bought with them [the pieces of silver] the potter's field [as a place] in which to bury strangers. 8 Therefore that piece of ground has been called the Field of Blood to the present day.

Also, the part above about the head of the man must be pushed up into the clouds by the body is further illustrated in:

TOMMY HICKS VISION – 1961

“I had hardly fallen asleep when the vision and the revelation that God gave to me came before me. The vision came three times, exactly in detail, the morning of July 25th, 1961. I was so stirred and so moved by the revelation, that this has changed by complete outlook upon the body of Christ, and upon the last – the end-time ministry. The greatest thing that the church of Jesus Christ has ever been given lies straight ahead.”


“As the vision appeared to me, after I was asleep, I suddenly found myself in a great distance. Where I was, I do not know, but as I was looking down upon the earth, suddenly the whole world came into view: every nation, every kindred, every tongue came before my sight, from the east and the west, from the north and the south. And I recognized every country and many cities that I had been in. I was almost in fear and trembling as I stood beholding the great sight before me. At that moment, when the world came into view, it began to lightning and thunder. As the lightning flashed over the face of the earth, my eyes went downward – and I was facing north.”


“Suddenly I beheld what looked like a great giant; and as I stared and looked at it, I was almost bewildered by the sight. It was so gigantic and was so great in stature; his feet seemed to reach to the north pole and his head to the south; his arms were stretched from sea to sea. I could not even begin to understand whether this was a mountain or whether this be a giant, but as I watched it, I suddenly beheld this great giant. I could see it was struggling for life, to even live. His body was covered with debris from head to foot. At times this great giant would move its body and act as if it would even rise up. When it did, thousands of little creatures seemed to run away – hideous looking creatures would run away from this giant. When he would become calm, they would come back. All of a sudden this great giant lifted his hand toward the heavens, and then it lifted its other hand. When it did, these creatures by the thousands seemed to flee away from this giant and go out into the darkness.”


“Slowly this great giant began to rise, and as he did, his head and hands went into the clouds. As he arose to his feet, he seemed to have cleansed himself from the debris and filth that was upon him, and he began to raise his hands into the heavens as though praising the Lord. As he raised his hands it wan even unto the clouds. Suddenly every cloud became silver, the most beautiful silver I have ever known. As I watched the phenomenon, it was so great; I could not even begin to understand what it all meant. I was so stirred as I watched it, and I cried unto the Lord, and said, “Oh Lord, what is the meaning of this?” It felt as if I was actually in the Spirit, and could feel the presence of the Lord even as I was asleep. From those clouds suddenly there came great drops of liquid light raining down upon this mighty giant, and slowly, slowly, this giant began to melt – began to sink, as it were, into the very earth itself. As he melted, his whole form seemed to have melted upon the face of the earth, and this great rain began to come down; liquid drops of light, as it were, began to flood the very earth itself. As I watch this giant that seemed to melt, suddenly it became millions of people over the face of the earth. As I beheld the sight before me, people stood up over the world. They were lifting their hands and they were praising the Lord.”


“At that very moment there came a great thunder that seemed to roar from the heavens. I turned my eyes toward the heavens, and suddenly I saw a figure in white, in glistening white – the most glorious thing that I have ever seen in all my life. I did not see the face, but somehow I knew that it was the Lord Jesus Christ. He stretched forth His hand upon the peoples and nations of the world, men and women. As He pointed toward them, this liquid light seemed to flow from His hand into these persons, and a mighty anointing of God came upon them, and those people began to go forth in the name of the Lord. And this is the miracle of it – this is the glorious miracle of it – those people would stretch forth their hands exactly as the Lord did, and it seemed that there was the same liquid fire in their hands. As they stretched forth their hands, they said, “According to my word, be thou made whole.” As these people continued in this mighty ministry, I did not fully realize what it was. And I looked to the Lord and said, “What is the meaning of this?” And He said, “This is that that I will do in the last days. I will restore all that the cankerworm, the palmerworm, the caterpillar – I will restore all that they have destroyed. This, My people in the end-time, shall go forth. As a mighty army shall they sweep over the face of the earth.”


“One of the things that seemed remarkable – after I had reviewed the vision so many times in my mind – I never saw a church and I never saw or heard anything of a denomination, but these people were going in the Name of the Lord of hosts. Hallelujah! As they marched forward, everything they did was the ministry of Christ. These people were ministering to the multitudes over the face of the earth. Tens of thousands, yea, millions came to the Lord Jesus Christ as these people stood forth and gave the message of the Kingdom – of the coming of the Kingdom – in this hour.”


“Suddenly there was another loud clap of thunder that seemed to resound around the world. I heard again the voice, the voice that seemed to speak: “Now, this is My people. This is My beloved bride.” When the voice spoke, I looked upon the earth and I could see the lakes and the mountains. The graves were opened and people from all over the world, the saints of all ages, seemed to be rising, and as they rose from the graves, suddenly all these people came from every direction and they seemed to be forming again this gigantic body. I could hardly comprehend it, it was so marvelous – it was so far beyond anything I could ever dream or think of. But, as this body suddenly began to form – it took shape again in the form of this mighty giant – this time it was different. It was arrayed in the most beautiful, gorgeous white – its garments were without spot or wrinkle – as this body began to form. The people of all ages appeared to be gathering into this body. Slowly, slowly, as it formed up into the very heavens, suddenly from the heavens above the Lord Jesus came – became the Head. I heard another clap of thunder that said, “This is My beloved Bride for whom I have waited. She will come forth, even tried by fire. This is she that I have loved from the beginning of time” - end quote.


The final part:




If you place the same man shape upon the map of the U.S., the head and shoulders would be in the East, the heart and spirit of the man would be in the Oklahoma/Arkansas/Missouri areas, and the feet would be on the West Coast.....


Same revelation and application applies here.......we are in the East, the Headship area, and you are the feet of the national body of Christ, so to speak.


When California stands up in the Glory, then it will push up the Heartland and the East Coast, the whole nation into the clouds to see her true destiny, so that she (we) can become it...........as California goes, so goes the nation.......


So, stand up California, you are the Forerunner and the Legs to our Destiny.......put your feet to it, so that we all can!!!


That's it up till now.......more to come, we've only just begun......grin!!!!

"The Starry Night Experience With Jesus"





"The Starry Night Experience With Jesus"

I went to bed really late because I couldn't sleep, and as I laid down on the bed, I immediately felt the Presence of the Lord:

Then I see in the vision: I am sitting on a hillside at night looking at the stars which seem so bright. Jesus is sitting next to me with his hands around his knees looking at the stars too. He is smiling and looking intently at each one. I follow His gaze and look at them. He says to me, "Do you know what stars those are?" I said, "No Lord, I don't know. I never learned to tell the stars and constellations from each other in school." He said, "I know each of them by name. I placed each of them in their spot in the heavens. Every one of them are held there by My Word. When I created them, I gave them their boundaries. I am in control of the heavens and the earth. Not one star moves from it's place without My knowledge. As the effects of sin has ravaged the earth and the people on it, so are the heavens also being moved in their places. Sin affects everything, and you must always defeat it's temptations daily in order to stay in My Will. When you are in My Will, nothing can move you."

He looked at Me and smiled. I knew there was more, but I waited. He did not say anything for awhile. I continued to watch the stars. He turned back to Me and said, "Don't ever doubt Me." I was shocked, and a little taken aback by His bluntness, but I also knew He was right. I did struggle some days with thoughts of doubt and insecurity at times. I swallowed and my heart was grieved at this. I said, "I am truly sorry Lord. I know you are right. I get caught up in the daily things and I get frustrated. I am truly sorry. Help me to be constant like the stars we are looking at." I looked up and said, "I want to be unmovable like them." The Lord looked at Me and nodded. "Yes," He said, "It is good to want to be stable and fixed like them, but that is not the best. I want you to be fixed and firmly rooted to Me. You can see the stars and trust in them, for you see them, and you know they will always be there. But greater is the one who can fully trust in Me, even though he does not see Me, and can remain stable and fixed on Me, just because He believes in Me alone, and knows that I am there, even when they cannot see Me. You know this. My Word tells you this. It is time for you to be this. It is time for each of My People to fully believe. I do not want you to ever doubt Me again."

"I want you to believe in Me with all of your heart. I want you to trust in Me even if you cannot see. I want you to be so secure in Me that nothing can remove you from your place. You must cleave to Me totally, especially in your thoughts. It is time for My People to believe and not doubt. I hold everything in this world and in the heavens in My Hand, and everything is upheld by My Word. Would I not also uphold you?" I nodded, "Yes, Lord." He said, "Good. You must remember this, and know that as the days ahead pass many things in the earth and also in the heavens will change. Some of the stars will change their course and fear will come to many hearts. Things on the earth will change and be contrary to it's natural order but that is also part of the process of sin that has brought a degrading of the natural order through the effects of sin and also of man's manipulation of creation. But I want you to know that I am in control of all things and will allow these things to awaken the earth from it's slumber. I will start with waking up My sleeping My Church. Many changes will come. But My Church will not be shaken or moved by these things. No, on the contrary, for I shall speak to My People, and those who hear My voice will be fixed firmly during all phases of the coming changes, and they will be a great strength and benefit to the inhabitants of the earth."

"It is time for My Church to shine like My stars above. It is time for My Church to arise with the knowledge of Me and to reveal that knowledge to humanity. How can humanity know Me if My People don't shine? How can they see an overcoming church if she struggles with doubts and fears? My Church must rise up new and put on Christ, as My Word tells you. I am more than enough for you. I am in perfect control and I do not fear in any situation. I am not moved by the storms of life or by evil. It is time that you are not moved by these things either. Build yourself up in your most holy faith and feed upon Me. Your faith and trust in Me is not something that ebbs and wanes like the tides. No, it is a Rock rooted within your every being. It is Me. Let go of your fear, and trust in Me, especially in your thoughts, for this is where your struggles lie. I am not rooted in your mind, I am rooted in your heart. You are to take every thought captive and bring it to total submission to Me. This will be your source of peace and stability. I want My People walking with Me from their spirits and not from their thoughts. You serve Me with your spirit, for you are a spirit. This is where you are fixed."

Jesus then stood up. I stood up too, and turned to see what He was looking at. He was looking up at the stars again. He then began to turn around in a circle with his head still looking up. He turned around a few more times, and He then stopped and looked downwards again and then at Me. he said to me, "When I turned around, did any of the stars move? Did anything change at all?" I said, "No Lord." He said to me, "When you move outside of My will, it is only you that moves. I don't ever leave My Will for you. My Plans for you don't change, just because you do. I remain fixed in My Purposes for you. But I can't do them for you in your life if you aren't fixed firmly in Me. When you move contrary to Me, even in your thoughts, you move out of the place where I can speak clearly to you and give you wisdom. You struggle because you have left Me, you turned your focus away from Me. I never moved. I want you to see that it is vitally important for you to remain firmly fixed in your thoughts, in your actions, and in your heart. I am able to speak to you when you are listening for Me. I can guide you safely and effectively when you are not trying to work things our for yourself. I want you to be still and know that I am God. I am at work in your life, and I will bring you to completion, just as I am at work in the earth, and will bring everything that I have written for her to completion too."

"I am moving in the earth and in the heavens, and what I do will reveal to the earth who I am. Men don't want to know who I am. They close their minds and hearts to any mention of Me. But that is about to change drastically, for I am going to shake the earth and the heavens more and the men upon the earth will not be able to shut Me out, nor deny that I am. For all shall see that I am God and that I hold their lives in My hands. I am going to bring forth such a display that even My Church will finally fear Me reverently. It is time for true deep seated faith to be born in the hearts of men. It is time for sincere faith to be demonstrated in My Church again. I want true devotion and sincere love being displayed again. So, I am going to increase My Winds and change will be multiplied across the globe. I am awakening the hearts of men. I am looking for faith in the earth. What will I find as I move My Hand? I tell you truly, I will find a Church that does truly in Me, stand!"

Jesus then raised His hand high and pointed at the stars. He said, "These are like the generations of men. I showed them to My sons long ago. They gave everything to find them. They forsook all to reach out towards their call. They learned to trust in Me in their journeys also, as you do in this current day. Nothing shall pass away of My Word, even as you see the stars still in the sky. My Word and My Creation will remain till all is completed, as My Word says, but much will also be changed. You must fix your faith firmly in Me and never doubt My Hand concerning you. I will keep My Word concerning you. You must keep My Word too. Never let it depart from you. Stir up your spirit each day to draw closer to Me and you shall never waver nor continue to struggle with insecurity again. You shall shine radiantly with Me, as you allow My Hand to be seen clearly through you in all that you do. This is My desire, that you would reach higher, even into the stars."

I said, "Lord, I would love to reach to the stars." He smiled broadly and reached out and picked me up bodily and literally threw Me up into the air, and when He did this, I literally went hurling up into the sky further and further until I could not see the place where we both were standing anymore. All of a sudden I stopped flying upwards and stopped right where I was. I did not fall back to the earth. I just hung there in the sky, pinned there by an unseen hand. Then, I felt this rushing sensation inside of me. It felt like bubbling. I began to laugh, and I felt such joy that I broke out laughing out loud in the sky. I felt so alive as I laughed that I never wanted to come down. I felt like bursting, the joy was so rich and full. I felt full of light, then it dawned on me that I was shining with His Joy! I laughed even more!

Then just as suddenly I was back by His side on the mountain. He was enjoying my little trip as much as I did, I thought. He smiled at me, knowing my thought, and His eyes twinkled, and He said, "Even your experience just now was controlled by Me. I held you in the sky and filled you even more with Myself till you overflowed. This is My desire, that you would walk with me like this upon the earth everyday, totally full of Me and also controlled by Me. In this way you will find true joy and liberty. You will see even more, and increase in your ability to see as I see, and you will be able to walk through the earth without wavering in any season, and you surely will shine with Me. My Church is also going to awaken to this reality, for I am going to stir her mightily. As the signs of the heavens and the earth advances and changes, so also shall My Church also advance and change. She will ascend to her highest place and she will faithfully run her earthly race, and the world will see My Face."

Nehemiah 9:6 “Blessed be your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise. 6 You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.

Psalms 33:6 By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of his mouth.

Isaiah 40:26 Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.

Genesis 15:5 And he brought him outside and said, "Look toward heaven, and number the stars, if you are able to number them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be."

Genesis 22:17 I will surely bless you, and I will surely multiply your offspring as the stars of heaven and as the sand that is on the seashore. And your offspring shall possess the gate of his enemies,

Deuteronomy 28:62 Whereas you were as numerous as the stars of heaven, you shall be left few in number, because you did not obey the voice of the LORD your God.

Psalms 8:3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 4 what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

Psalms 147:4 He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names.

Jeremiah 31:34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." 35 Thus says the LORD, who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar—the LORD of hosts is his name: 36 "If this fixed order departs from before me, declares the LORD, then shall the offspring of Israel cease from being a nation before me forever."

Daniel 12:2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."

Job 15:11 Are God's consolations [as we have interpreted them to you] too trivial for you? Is there any secret thing (any bosom sin) which you have not given up? [Or] were we too gentle [in our first speech] toward you to be effective? 12 Why does your heart carry you away [why allow yourself to be controlled by feeling]? And why do your eyes flash [in anger or contempt], 13 That you turn your spirit against God and let [such] words [as you have spoken] go out of your mouth?

Psalms 78:72 So [David] was their shepherd with an upright heart; he guided them by the discernment and skillfulness [which controlled] his hands.

Hebrews 11:13 These people all died controlled and sustained by their faith, but not having received the tangible fulfillment of [God's] promises, only having seen it and greeted it from a great distance by faith, and all the while acknowledging and confessing that they were strangers and temporary residents and exiles upon the earth.

Romans 8:4 So that the righteous and just requirement of the Law might be fully met in us who live and move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [our lives governed not by the standards and according to the dictates of the flesh, but controlled by the Holy Spirit]. 5 For those who are according to the flesh and are controlled by its unholy desires set their minds on and pursue those things which gratify the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit and are controlled by the desires of the Spirit set their minds on and seek those things which gratify the [Holy] Spirit.

Galatians 5:16 But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God).

Luke 4:1 THEN JESUS, full of and controlled by the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led in [by] the [Holy] Spirit.

Isaiah 41:10 Be not afraid, for with thee I [am], Look not around, for I [am] thy God, I have strengthened thee, Yea, I have helped thee, yea, I upheld thee, With the right hand of My righteousness.

Psalms 111:7 The works of His hands [are] true and just, Steadfast [are] all His appointments. 8They are sustained for ever to the age. They are made in truth and uprightness. 9 Redemption He hath sent to His people, He hath appointed to the age His covenant, Holy and fearful [is] His name.

James 1:12 “Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.

Luke 5:26 And overwhelming astonishment and ecstasy seized them all, and they recognized and praised and thanked God; and they were filled with and controlled by reverential fear and kept saying, We have seen wonderful and strange and incredible and unthinkable things today!
