Update on Pat's Computer

 
 



Greetings to everyone!

What a whirlwind two and a half weeks it has been and it is now behind us, and we are up and running again!

Pat went to California and had the most tremendous meetings they have ever had there, the Lord is just breaking through everything that is resisting His People, and the saints are rising up and taking their land in California!

I held down the homefront here in Rochester and the Lord is just astounding us here in our services as well.....the former wells are opening, the old roots are going, and the lord is blowing on the fiery coals in us into a full flame! Time to burn, saints!

Glory to the Lord, move more, Lord! Take us all higher!

We wanted to thank everyone who helped us financially to get things going here again, as we live by faith, and the Lord is always faithful!
We want to thank a special donor who donated a computer to Patrick so that we would not be offline anymore. We are always astounded at the goodness of God more and more!

Those who sow in secret to the Lord, will be rewarded openly by the Lord! Never, never take the Lord for granted saints, but give Him all the Glory as He moves everything for you too!

We pray the messages the Lord gives to us for the Body will continue to bless you and cause you to press even more and to draw closer to Him, and may you rise upwards into the high calling in Christ, that He has for you!

You each are truly loved, and we are eternally grateful!

-Patrick and Susan O'Marra


The Hall Of The Patriarchs Vision - 01-26-13


The Hall Of The Patriarchs and the Fountain of Wine Vision - 01-26-13
 
 
 

In the vision, I went through the gates of the New Jerusalem. I stepped into a crystal clear city that shone with rainbow colors of light. You could see through the layers of light into the layers and levels as you walked. There was such a richness and a depth and clarity in everything that you looked at and touched. "That's because everything here is filled with Truth", said a voice by me. I turned to see an ancient looking man with long white hair, and a flowing white robe standing by me. His eyes were full of joy and a deep light that crackled within them as he gazed at me. He was ancient, but he was also regal and full of life. I could feel it flowing from Him to me. I smiled back at him, and he motioned to the city around him. "This is the New Jerusalem. You saw it afar off before, but now it is time to not only enter it's gated door, but to walk on Truth's floors. This is a Mystery to you, but the Father has determined that you now learn on it's floors, and it is time for you to go through some of the Higher Truth's doors. So I am here to guide you and to help you enter in to the joys of the Father."

Ø      Matthew 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

He extended his hand to me, and I took his hand, and we glided down the street. I looked down and we literally were gliding. Our feet were not moving, but the street was. The Street was solid, but also fluid, and when we thought to go somewhere, we then flowed to our destination. It was as if the Truth carried us to our destination. He just smiled as he watched me grasp everything as we went. The streets each had a character and aspect of the Lord within them, and were built to reflect and to also radiate the knowledge of Him. There were buildings and what looked to me like stores there, and people moving about on each street. But the buildings were not made like the things on earth. Each one flowed to the next, yet each was distinct in it's own purpose. We slowed down and we came to a great white building. It looked like white marble, but it was not. It's stone was smooth to the touch, and the colors were alive flowing within it, and I could feel the warmth of the Lord's love flowing to me as I touched the wall. The man who guided me, nodded, "Yes, the Lord's love is the Truth, and in the path of Truth, you will always walk in His Love, and also feel His Love within you." He motioned for me to follow him. I turned and followed behind him, and we passed into a courtyard with a vast pillared area that was bustling with people. There were fountains, and many white pillars, and beautiful plants, and chairs to sit on here and there. I saw very ancient men and women here. They looked ancient in years, but they also shone with such a radiance that they were full of life, and vitality, so much so, that it flowed into you when you were near them.

We walked over to a corner area and sat down by a tall tree. He motioned to the bustling atrium area by the vast building. "This is the Hall of the Patriarchs. This is where many come to be mentored, and to learn of the deeper things of the Kingdom. I am your guide." He smiled at me, and his eyes crinkled cheerily at me. I wondered why they crinkled. They had little sparks within them that seemed to fold and move like crinkles inside his eyes. He sat there amused at my curiosity. "Love's light is within all things, and flows through all that love Him, and that love the Truth. The Light of Love is alive, and is full of life, and is more powerful than any form of power that you currently understand on earth. The power of Love can power the earth, if only the inhabitants on earth would only love Him, and learn to draw from Him, and then live within the power of His Life. That is another lesson, but for now, I am here to show you around." He smiled at me, and waved his hand to show me more of the area around us. As He waved his hand, it seemed like everything expanded around me, and now everything stretched out for a far as my eyes could see. I could hardly register this and my eyes felt like they were stretching too. He nodded, "That is good, for your eyes cannot perceive all that there is to grow into, until you can stretch in your own perspectives, and learn to yield in your thoughts to the new around you. Your mind on earth can only grasp things from the lower natural planes, but here in the New Jerusalem, all things are open and known, and understood through Him. You are acclimating to the Truth. There is nothing hidden within the Truth. He is searchable, and yet is unsearchable in His vastness. You can look into what you desire, and the Truth will always lead you higher, and expand within you."

Ø      Ephesians 4:12 His intention was the perfecting and the full equipping of the saints (His consecrated people), [that they should do] the work of ministering toward building up Christ's body (the church), 13 [That it might develop] until we all attain oneness in the faith and in the comprehension of the [ full and accurate] knowledge of the Son of God, that [we might arrive] at really mature manhood (the completeness of personality which is nothing less than the standard height of Christ's own perfection), the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him.

I asked him, "Who are you? Are you one of the Patriarchs?" He smiled and nodded. "I am assigned to help you learn, and this is one place that you can progress into the higher learning that you have been seeking, and that you need, for the years ahead of you on the earth. There is much wisdom to be found in the Patriarchs, and much is hidden within the Word's pages, but few study the Patriarchs and the Sages. You must go deeper, and you will find the flow of the Lord within each page. He has prepared deep wisdom for all men within the Word, but few ask for true revelation, and few understand the patterns that the Patriarchs have for men on the earth to follow. The Truth is always your way higher into the knowledge of Him. It is time for deep wisdom to begin, that is why you are here. The Father has determined that it is time for the leaders of your day to now walk in the Patriarchs Way." The Patriarch's Way?", I asked. He turned slightly and pointed, and my eyes followed his hand and I saw a path that led into a Hall. It was like a living moving conveyor of light. People were flowing in and out of the Hall as they stood on the path of Light. I had a desire to walk on that path. Instantly we were standing on it, and I was shocked. I had not moved, and yet here we were moving forwards into the Hall. My guide only smiled. I could tell that I had a lot to learn.

We entered into the Hall of the Patriarchs. It was a vast Hall with tall pillars inside of the building. The walls were of white marble like material that glowed with inner light. There was such a deep peace here that I felt refreshed as we moved down the Hall. There were seats everywhere where you could sit and visit. There were rooms off to the sides that you could go into. There also were fountains that you could sit by, and some drank from. I even saw one person swim in one. I was surprised. My guide did not answer my thoughts, but seemed interested to just watch me absorb things as we went. I saw doors that were open as we passed and I caught glimpses of auditoriums and class rooms, and meeting rooms. I even saw what looked to be like playgrounds in one. I saw clear glass-like elevators that led people up to higher floors. There were many ancient people here with white hair and they had light pouring from their skin and faces. They were happily guiding people, and were also greeting people that had come, like me. Suddenly I felt us stop moving and I looked down. The light had stopped moving, and we were now standing in a smaller hall, where there were other people who had also just arrived like me. I say it was smaller, because it was within the great Hall itself, but yet, each room could fill the earth. There seemed to be no sense of measurement of space here, but you were content within it's vast walls. My guide walked over to other guests and greeted them, and then he motioned for me to join them all.

The other people were like me, they had come from earth, and were just as curious, and as amazed as I was. I saw people from the old testament here. I saw people from the new testament here. I saw people from the earth that were from our past. I knew it by looking at them, and by their dress. There were pilgrims here, and olde English countrymen here, and western dressed people, and even modern looking people from my time. I wondered how people from the past could be here, as well as me from the present, or the future, all at the same time? I saw colonial pilgrims greet Spanish conquistador period people. I saw Indians greeting modern people. I was fascinated to see people wearing their generational period clothes here. I thought everyone wore robes in the heavens. "There is no time in Truth", a voice said. I turned to see my guide, and he smiled at me. "Everyone begins their journey into truth at their level of reality and they grow into the knowledge of Him progressively. He is the Past, the Present, and the Future. All are known here and have their being within Him. Part of knowing Him is in knowing ourselves, and also of our need for Him. Just because you are here doesn't mean that you lose your individuality or distinction. All things are known and can be understood as you grow in your perceptions of His Truth."

"You see them this way because the Lord wants you to see things as they can be grasped by you. There is no time in eternity, so everything you see here has been brought in such a way that you can see it through eternity's eyes. Just because someone lived in a certain time period on earth does not mean that they cannot learn up here. Man is not limited to just the knowledge of their age, but all men can seek that which is eternal, and can come and grow in Truth here, and then take it back to earth to give to men in their day. The Father desires that more would come here. He desires that His House would be full of seekers and also to mentor multitudes of teachers. It is an honor to be brought here. Many desire to look into the higher things, but they cannot be brought here till they mature, and are able to bear the responsibility of walking in that Truth, on the earth. There are those who have come from the earth below, and also from many time periods as you see here, all at the same time. You are being shown this in this manner, because it is necessary for you to understand that there is no time in eternity. There is no separation of knowledge, or relationship, or Light, or Love. Everything can be grasped by all that hunger to grow up into it, in any generation. Heaven is full of generations here, all walking in harmony in the Truth."

"Many think that their generation is better than the one before it. Many think that they are wiser than the one before it. While it is true that you can learn from those who have gone before you, and can progress further than the previous generation in using that knowledge, it is all still just one flow, which comes from the Lord. The Lord measures truth differently than man. He is the Truth. He looks at the amount of light and truth that you each have, and then He watches to see what each one does with the measure you have been given. You are to not only walk in the light that you have, but you are each made to grow into the knowledge of Him unto maturity. Each generation has a mandate from the Lord to fulfill on the earth. The Lord knows exactly what each generation is to accomplish, and what they are meant to release to those who live in that time. But not all choose to walk in the light, or to search out the truth, or to grow in the knowledge of Him. The ones that you see here are those that did from every generation. Even the darkest of generations on the earth, had people that sought out the Truth. These that you see here have earned the right to walk the Halls of the Patriarchs. Only the Lovers of the Truth can walk here, and they can come and go freely, and what they learn they then can bring to their generation. It is time for your generation to rise up higher as well. It is time for Truth to be loved again, and to be sought out from the Lord Himself. He is the Truth, and you must seek Him diligently, for your time is short. It is time to enter into the depths of Truth's wealth."

He then led me to a fountain that flowed in the room. He said, "Drink." I reached down and drank some of the water, and it was light. It was a fluid, but it was light. It was alive, and when it entered me, I felt it's life flowing in Me. I felt more alive and my mind raced inside me. I felt like I was expanding. It felt like I was exploding with a million little bombs all within my being. I had an overwhelming urge to jump into the fountain. I then jumped in and sank into the waters. I felt like I was bathing in light. It was like  a wind flowed through the light, and it flowed through me. I felt like the wind was searching me and the light was layering new folds within me. I felt transparent under the depths of it's flow. I felt suddenly unable to stay down anymore, and I swam to the surface and was immediately standing by my guide. I looked down and I was not even wet. I then felt foolish for my desire to jump into the fountain. He shook his head and smiled, "Everyone who comes here does. That is why you saw a person jumping into a fountain when you first arrived. Truth is the beginning of the knowledge of the Lord, and all who come here are hungry and thirsty for more of Him. It is only right to want to plunge into His depths, and all are welcome to at any time. It is the knowledge of the Truth that sets you free. Freedom is only the beginning of Wisdom's depths, and that is only one part of it's folds. You will learn more when you are ready, and you will jump in many times."

"Come, let us go into the Wine Room." He walked off, and I sped up to follow him. "The Wine Room?", I said. He stepped through a door and we were instantly in a vast elegant room filled with tables and chairs and very elegant glass stemware on the various tables. People were sitting and drinking wine from glasses. Others were standing by tall plants talking, and others were gathered by a beautiful fountain that flowed in the room. This fountain flowed with wine. It was a deep red wine and it had a melody that was from coming within it. The melody was nothing like I have ever heard on earth, and it resonated within my being, and I began to vibrate with it's current. I felt more alive just listening to it's melodious flow. My guide then went and got 2 glasses from a table and walked over to the fountain. He put them into the fountain and filled them and brought them to a table where we sat down. He smiled at me and motioned for me to drink the wine. I reached out and took a glass from him and I drank it. The wine was full of joy and ecstasy, and life. It was sweet as honey, yet hot like fire, and suddenly I broke out in worship to the Lord. When I did, everyone else in the room did too. We all sang together to the Lord. As we sang, a great mist filled the room and a glorious rainbow hovered over us all. I felt such love that I thought I would burst. My heart felt like it was full of flowing wine. I could hear the melody of the wine singing deep within me. It was as if love itself were singing, and I was it's audience. I don't know how long I was caught up into the folds of love, but all of a sudden I felt a sweet peace, like I was in deeper waters. I suddenly was aware that I had wandered, and opened my eyes, and all things were as before. Everyone was talking and drinking around us. My guide just smiled brilliantly at me, enjoying my experience with me.

He said, "Love is the chief and principal thing that you are to seek and to grow in the knowledge of. All things are upheld by His Love and all things flow in and out of His Love, and because of His Love. All Truth is found within that Love, for in Him is all Truth. He is the Truth. He is the Life. He is the Way for all men to walk in. He is the Wine, that was poured out for all men. He is the beginning of Wisdom, and He is the Fullness of Wisdom. It is your purpose to grow into the knowledge of Him. It is your purpose to eat of Him and to drink of Him daily. It is your purpose to fellowship and to have communion with Him in the earth, as well as here."

Ø      Colossians 1:10 That you may walk (live and conduct yourselves) in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him and desiring to please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing and increasing in and by the knowledge of God [with fuller, deeper, and clearer insight, acquaintance, and recognition].

Ø      2 Peter 3:18 But grow in grace (undeserved favor, spiritual strength) and recognition and knowledge and understanding of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ (the Messiah). To Him [be] glory (honor, majesty, and splendor) both now and to the day of eternity. Amen (so be it)!

"You are to walk with Him continually and live your life, through His. When you do, you will hear His Song resonating within you. For He is the Love Song that resonates within all that are His. You must learn to come here more. You must learn to partake of Him more. You must learn to draw from all that you need. But most of all, you must walk within Him, as you walk on the earth. He abides within you, and you abide within Him, and as you walk in Him, you will also draw from the depths of Him all the wisdom that you need, and it will flow in your spirit at all times. You must be more aware of this flow within you as each day passes in your lives. True Wisdom is not found on the earth, but is found within Him, and then it is established on the earth, as you yield to His Life and His Lordship in your life. You must grow even more into the depths of the knowledge of Him, and you must also teach men. It is time for your generation to sincerely seek Him and to walk with Him in all your ways, only in this way will you each fully accomplish what the Lord has mandated you to do in your day. Only then can the Truth be fully established to light the way."

I looked at him and wondered what his name was. I knew he was a patriarch who had been given the task to guide me here, but I had never asked him his name. I looked at him, and he knew my thoughts and seemed amused. His face lit up and his eyes crinkled even more. He laughed at my thoughts and took me by the hand. He truly was enjoying this moment. He patted my hand  with his and said, "I told you that you would drink the Wine of Sincerity with Me." My eyes flew to his, and suddenly I realized it was the Lord! I was stunned, but I was also overjoyed!  -Then the vision ended.

"What you are giving birth into is confronting that which is left within you"



"What you are giving birth into is confronting that which is left within you"
 
 
 

What you are giving birth into is confronting that which is left within you. You are contending for the faith to prevail. Nothing shall overcome you or overwhelm you if you set your face towards Me. You must not let the voice of apathy, or the voice of spiritual weakness, or the voice of old failures speak to you. You must allow faith, the faith I placed within you, to drive out all that remains to be unseated within you. What I have determined for you is true, for your scroll is ever before Me, and is destined only for you to do. Let Me arrange it all fully for you. You must defeat the death that contends within you.

Life is confronting the death that seeks to remain within you and to secure it's weakening foothold again. You must understand the process for liberty that is at work deep within. I am setting you free from every entanglement, from every deep seated root, and from every tendency that leads you astray from faith in Me. You are gaining the victory. You must let the rest be removed by Me so that you can walk victoriously and also unwaveringly in your thoughts before Me.

Do not look at yourself, or at your present situations, and at your inability to walk fully in me, and try to measure yourself from within. This causes you to reinforce the things that are leaving you, and it causes you to fear My ways, and when you do, you begin to walk back into your ways again. You must fortify your thoughts with Me. You must measure yourself by Me, by My Word, and by My Spirit that speaks to you from within. Lay your walls with Me to see clearly.

You are learning to build with My tools and not yours. You are learning to establish new principles based upon Me and not about your capability or inability. What I am able to do is greater than you. It is greater than you can perceive, or understand at this point. You have to establish faith in Me, and you must trust Me unquestionably. This is the root of your instability. Your lack of trust in Me, and your lack of trust that I can make you into what you shall be.

I have brought you to birth, and now you are warring for the things of eternal worth. But you cannot measure them by the world's worth, or ideals. Allow My scales that are within you to recalibrate your thinking, to reharmonize your soul to Mine, and let My Peace set your boundaries by which you will walk ahead. Trust in My measurements, and not in your perceptions of what you think you shall be. Leave the remodeling to Me. I am transforming you entirely!

Set your thoughts on the things above, and let My Peace grow like a dove. I am flowing within you at a gentle pace until you are whole. Then when you are totally whole, My Power will surely within you more fully unroll. You are on target for My Goal. Set your sights upon Mine. Sit down at My Table and feast on My Wine. I am creating a whole new design, and you will have to allow Me to finish what's left within you to redesign. When I am done, you shall break out in joy divine.

Your feet are upon My Paths. You are where I have placed you to be. You are seeking My Face, and that is why you have endured this fight for your race. You must not waver anymore, for this is the Hour of My Favor beginning to pour. I am moving things around you logistically, and you must wait until all things fall where they should be. Be still before Me, and rest. I shall move even more, and you shall understand what is left to be done, as you choose to trust in My Hand and in My Oversight of your life. Let go of the last remaining fears, and let Me have them, and shed no more tears. It is a time for joy, and for peace, for I am at work, and you shall live your life within Me.

I have abundance for you, but you cannot draw it out, or walk in it fully if you continue to look at what I am extracting from within you. Set your eyes on My things above. Set your face upon the mirror of My Word, and see those things more clearly from within My Pages, and you shall more fully understand that I have been healing you in stages. I am building you into a new work that is emerging from within you. Do not limit Me by what you think you see. Let Me build you fully.

Don't you realize that when I build something within you that is to be, that I use nothing from you, nothing from this life, and nothing from the past. I destroy all of that which was, and that which is, to now bring forth that which is to come? I have a future for you, and it includes a future and a hope, and a faith that is greater than yours. You must trade in your building materials for Mine. You must not try to help Me finish the building process that is left within you. You must yield to My ministrations, and allow Me to hasten you to your final destinations.
 
I am finishing your walls with My Peace. I shall not only give a full and complete new birth from within you, but I shall violently break forth from within you! I shall do great things that will amaze even you! I have set My Heart upon you, and nothing shall prevent Me from removing the last things from within you, only that which is within you can prevent Me. I want you to let go, and rest in Me, let Me finish you as you emerge in your new reality. You must see Me through My Reality. I am not like yours, and this is your struggle. You are trying to see everything through yours. You must allow Me to remove that and then you can see through Mine.

I have a rich wine to pour, and as you open more fully to Me, I shall pour it out liberally. Thankfulness shall break forth from within, and you shall not look upon things only as they have always been. No, for I shall transform all things into what shall be, and you shall drink My Wine of Sincerity with Me. You shall rise up with Joy, and shall walk with fortitude and with boldness into the new that is opening up before you. Set your feet fully on My Paths, and walk them knowing that you sit within My Higher Seat, and your vision shall be complete. Our faces shall fully meet, for you shall rule from Love's seat.

Scriptures:

Isaiah 25:6 And on this Mount [Zion] shall the Lord of hosts make for all peoples a feast of rich things [symbolic of His coronation festival inaugurating the reign of the Lord on earth, in the wake of a background of gloom, judgment, and terror], a feast of wines on the lees--of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. 7 And He will destroy on this mountain the covering of the face that is cast over the heads of all peoples [in mourning], and the veil [of profound wretchedness] that is woven and spread over all nations. 8 He will swallow up death [in victory; He will abolish death forever]. And the Lord God will wipe away tears from all faces; and the reproach of His people He will take away from off all the earth; for the Lord has spoken it. 9 It shall be said in that day, Behold our God upon Whom we have waited and hoped, that He might save us! This is the Lord, we have waited for Him; we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.
 
Psalms 149:1-4 Hallelujah! Sing to God a brand-new song, praise him in the company of all who love him. Let all Israel celebrate their Sovereign Creator, Zion's children exult in their King. Let them praise his name in dance; strike up the band and make great music! And why? Because God delights in his people, festoons plain folk with salvation garlands! 5-9 Let true lovers break out in praise, sing out from wherever they're sitting, Shout the high praises of God, brandish their swords in the wild sword-dance— A portent of vengeance on the God-defying nations, a signal that punishment's coming, Their kings chained and hauled off to jail, their leaders behind bars for good, The judgment on them carried out to the letter —and all who love God in the seat of honor! Hallelujah!  TM

1 Corinthians 15:54 And when this perishable puts on the imperishable and this that was capable of dying puts on freedom from death, then shall be fulfilled the Scripture that says, Death is swallowed up (utterly vanquished forever) in and unto victory.

2 Timothy 1:10 [It is that purpose and grace] which He now has made known and has fully disclosed and made real [to us] through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, Who annulled death and made it of no effect and brought life and immortality (immunity from eternal death) to light through the Gospel.

Philippians 3:13 I do not consider, brethren, that I have captured and made it my own [yet]; but one thing I do [it is my one aspiration]: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the [supreme and heavenly] prize to which God in Christ Jesus is calling us upward. 15 So let those [of us] who are spiritually mature and full-grown have this mind and hold these convictions; and if in any respect you have a different attitude of mind, God will make that clear to you also.

1 Corinthians 9:24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners compete, but [only] one receives the prize? So run [your race] that you may lay hold [of the prize] and make it yours.

Hebrews 3:1 SO THEN, brethren, consecrated and set apart for God, who share in the heavenly calling, [thoughtfully and attentively] consider Jesus, the Apostle and High Priest Whom we confessed [as ours when we embraced the Christian faith]. 2 [See how] faithful He was to Him Who appointed Him [Apostle and High Priest], as Moses was also faithful in the whole house [of God]. 3 Yet Jesus has been considered worthy of much greater honor and glory than Moses, just as the builder of a house has more honor than the house [itself]. 4 For [of course] every house is built and furnished by someone, but the Builder of all things and the Furnisher [of the entire equipment of all things] is God. 5 And Moses certainly was faithful in the administration of all God's house [but it was only] as a ministering servant. [In his entire ministry he was but] a testimony to the things which were to be spoken [the revelations to be given afterward in Christ]. 6 But Christ (the Messiah) was faithful over His [own Father's] house as a Son [and Master of it]. And it is we who are [now members] of this house, if we hold fast and firm to the end our joyful and exultant confidence and sense of triumph in our hope [in Christ]. 7 Therefore, as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you will hear His voice, 8 Do not harden your hearts, as [happened] in the rebellion [of Israel] and their provocation and embitterment [of Me] in the day of testing in the wilderness, 9 Where your fathers tried [My patience] and tested [My forbearance] and found I stood their test, and they saw My works for forty years. 10 And so I was provoked (displeased and sorely grieved) with that generation, and said, They always err and are led astray in their hearts, and they have not perceived or recognized My ways and become progressively better and more experimentally and intimately acquainted with them. 11 Accordingly, I swore in My wrath and indignation, They shall not enter into My rest. 12 [Therefore beware] brethren, take care, lest there be in any one of you a wicked, unbelieving heart [which refuses to cleave to, trust in, and rely on Him], leading you to turn away and desert or stand aloof from the living God. 13 But instead warn (admonish, urge, and encourage) one another every day, as long as it is called Today, that none of you may be hardened [into settled rebellion] by the deceitfulness of sin [by the fraudulence, the stratagem, the trickery which the delusive glamor of his sin may play on him]. 14 For we have become fellows with Christ (the Messiah) and share in all He has for us, if only we hold our first newborn confidence and original assured expectation [in virtue of which we are believers] firm and unshaken to the end.

Hebrews 6:1 THEREFORE LET us go on and get past the elementary stage in the teachings and doctrine of Christ (the Messiah), advancing steadily toward the completeness and perfection that belong to spiritual maturity. Let us not again be laying the foundation of repentance and abandonment of dead works (dead formalism) and of the faith [by which you turned] to God, 2 With teachings about purifying, the laying on of hands, the resurrection from the dead, and eternal judgment and punishment. [These are all matters of which you should have been fully aware long, long ago.] 3 If indeed God permits, we will [now] proceed [to advanced teaching].

Philippians 4:8 For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them].

Romans 14:17 [After all] the kingdom of God is not a matter of [getting the] food and drink [one likes], but instead it is righteousness (that state which makes a person acceptable to God) and [heart] peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 He who serves Christ in this way is acceptable and pleasing to God and is approved by men.

"I Have Sprouted The Seeds Of Prayer"


"I Have Sprouted The Seeds of Prayer"
 

 

During the All-Night Prayer Watch at SOG Church, I heard the Lord say, "I Have Sprouted The Seeds Of Prayer." I then was shown a vision of hard ground that was being softened over time by the Lord, through the prayers of the praying Remnant, who have been calling on the Lord for change in America. I saw the Lord answer the Remnant's prayers, by releasing rain to soften the ground of the corporate slumbering church's heart, and the rain began to stir them to seek Him more.
 
I saw the ground around the stoniness began to give way, and the waters of the Spirit began to saturate the ground of their hearts towards prayer. I then saw a renewed desire for prayer begin to be birthed into the church. Where there had been a hardness, a resistance, and a lack of prayer, now I began to see a new fertile desire to pray begin to stir within the church. People began to gather to seek the Lord for answers to their situations, for family breakthroughs, and for change.
 
I saw the rains of the Holy Spirit penetrate even deeper into the hardest of shells of the church in America, and a new fervent call to prayer began to ripple through the whole national church. I saw only a few respond at first in the vision, but over time more began to press in, and as I watched, the rains of the Lord continued until the grounds of those who opened up to the Lord's rain were saturated.
 
I saw the seeds of destiny that had lain dormant underneath/within the church, and also under/within the lives of the slumbering people begin to change. I saw those dry seeds begin to drink in the rains. The seeds swelled up as the water awoke them progressively. As they swelled, their hard shells began to crack, and a new surge of desire began to ripple through the people, and fresh hope came, and new vision was stirred, and a deeper passion was aroused, and a new corporate faith began to reach out to God again in prayer.
 
I watched the old shells exterior fully gave way, the rains began to work down into the deepest of layers of the seed within. Softness began to transform the seed of destiny, and a new vitality stirred deep within. I then watched a transformation begin to happen within the seed. It began to sprout and a change occurred in it's insides. I saw very tiny sprouts of destiny begin to press slowly through the seed and then aggressively outwards. The sprouts began to push within the soil. The soil began to give way to the sprouts that were pushing through it's soil covering, towards the light that was shining above ground. Destiny was born!

Psalms 143:3 The enemy hunted me down; he kicked me and stomped me within an inch of my life. He put me in a black hole, buried me like a corpse in that dungeon. I sat there in despair, my spirit draining away, my heart heavy, like lead. I remembered the old days, went over all you've done, pondered the ways you've worked, Stretched out my hands to you, as thirsty for you as a desert thirsty for rain.  TM

2 Chronicles 6:26 When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because Your people have sinned against You, yet if they pray toward this place, confess your name [and You Yourself ], and turn from their sin when You afflict them, 27 Then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants, [all of ] Your people Israel, when You have taught them the good way in which they should walk. And send rain upon Your land which You have given to Your people for an inheritance.

Jeremiah 5:24 Nor do they say in their hearts, Let us now reverently fear and worship the Lord our God, Who gives rain, both the autumn and the spring rain in its season, Who reserves and keeps for us the appointed weeks of the harvest.

Romans 11:2 No, God has not rejected and disowned His people [whose destiny] He had marked out and appointed and foreknown from the beginning.

Interpretation: In 2013, A new phase of emergence has begun! Life is breaking through the barriers of prayer resistance, and the prayer is prevailing against the darkness, and God is forging a new path for manifestation, a fresh sign is beginning to be seen, and a more complete sense of the end time purpose of the church will now come into our full view.

The Lord then said:
 
"That vision is about you. That vision is also about My People. That vision is the beginning of the emergence of the labors of prayer that you and others, have been birthing forth unto Me for your homes, for your churches, for your City, and for your Nation. I have been doing a deep and hidden work in your midst. I have been turning your hearts back to Me in prayer. I have been dealing with the hardness that is stubbornly resident you, and also within My Church towards prayer. I have been plowing the soil of your souls, and of your flesh. I have been drawing you each fully to My Breast. I am breaking through the hardness of your hearts, and I am saturating the grounds of your hearts, as well as the ground of your nation. I will have a Church of Prayer, and I will have a House of Prayer for all Nations. I will have a People willing to be at their Prayer Stations. I will have a People that are called by My Name, that will humble themselves and pray, and that will call upon Me, night and day. I have sprouted the seeds that have lain deep within you, and I shall cause them to sprout even more in all of My Children that obeys My Call to pray. I will have a Company of Fruitful Prayer! Then I shall sprout you everywhere! I shall scatter you upon the face of the nations in prayer! I shall hasten your prayers and I shall bring a great acceleration. I shall fully man My Global Prayer Stations!"

"The Sprouting process has begun. My Fires of Conviction shall go deeper and shall burn and shall run. I shall strongly deal with those who will not obey Me and pray, and many shall repent and obediently run. I will also harden and remove those who refuse to come, and I will prosper those who yield to Me in every way. I shall fall upon you a new way! I shall do a new thing deep within the earth - also within your earth, within your souls, within your bodies, and within your lives! In My Place of Prayer you shall thrive! I shall sprout forth as you discover and uncover your new prayer worth! I shall blow, and blow, and blow upon you all! I shall ignite you in prayer, both great and the small! I shall birth forth a greater prayer cry until My Furnace of Prayer in My Church, and in your nation, climbs fully into the sky! I want sincere devotion, and heart felt prayer rising up unto Me! I want hot passionate prayer, and fertile prayer rising up to Me! I shall have My Prayer Sprouts fully break out!"
 
"You shall leap and shout, and you shall decree and thoroughly rout! It is time for victory to break out! It is time for life to manifest even more! Let My Prayer out and let it become a roar! Lift your prayers daily unto Me, and shake the heavens with Me! It is time for us to agree! It is time to break forth out of apathy. It is time to gather to pray even more corporately! It is time to break down the barriers that prevent you from emerging triumphantly! It is time to rise up and prayerfully climb! Reach out further to Me in prayer, and rise up and become who you are meant to be! Sprout yourselves in prayer before Me! Press! Press! Press! That is your destiny! Stand up, My People! Break forth, and Watch and Pray with Me! My Light Houses of Prayer shall sprout forth everywhere! Lay hold of Me! Lay hold of Me! Lay hold of Me! Then you shall fulfill your destiny! Then your Light shall be visible for all to see, and then you shall radiate the Knowledge of Me corporately!"

The prophetic birthing/sprouting process of prayer as also seen through the Pattern of the following Scriptures:

Psalms 65:9 You visit the earth and saturate it with water; You greatly enrich it; the river of God is full of water; You provide them with grain when You have so prepared the earth. 10 You water the field's furrows abundantly, You settle the ridges of it; You make the soil soft with showers, blessing the sprouting of its vegetation. 11 You crown the year with Your bounty and goodness, and the tracks of Your [chariot wheels] drip with fatness.

Isaiah 45:7 I form the light and create darkness, I make peace [national well-being] and I create [physical] evil (calamity); I am the Lord, Who does all these things. 8 Let fall in showers, you heavens, from above, and let the skies rain down righteousness [the pure, spiritual, heaven-born possibilities that have their foundation in the holy being of God]; let the earth open, and let them [skies and earth] sprout forth salvation, and let righteousness germinate and spring up [as plants do] together; I the Lord have created it.

Isaiah 55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.10 For as the rain and snow come down from the heavens, and return not there again, but water the earth and make it bring forth and sprout, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, 11 So shall My word be that goes forth out of My mouth: it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

Genesis 8:10 He waited another seven days and again sent forth the dove out of the ark.11 And the dove came back to him in the evening, and behold, in her mouth was a newly sprouted and freshly plucked olive leaf! So Noah knew that the waters had subsided from the land.

Romans 15:11 And again, Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise Him! 12 And further Isaiah says, There shall be a Sprout from the Root of Jesse, He Who rises to rule over the Gentiles; in Him shall the Gentiles hope. 13 May the God of your hope so fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound and be overflowing (bubbling over) with hope.

Hebrews 9:3 But [inside] beyond the second curtain or veil, [there stood another] tabernacle [division] known as the Holy of Holies.  4 It had the golden altar of incense and the ark (chest) of the covenant, covered over with wrought gold. This [ark] contained a golden jar which held the manna and the rod of Aaron that sprouted and the [two stone] slabs of the covenant [bearing the Ten Commandments]. 5 Above [the ark] and overshadowing the mercy seat were the representations of the cherubim [winged creatures which were the symbols] of glory. We cannot now go into detail about these things.

Numbers 17:8 And the next day Moses went into the Tent of the Testimony, and behold, the rod of Aaron for the house of Levi had sprouted and brought forth buds and produced blossoms and yielded [ripe] almonds.

Isaiah 11:1 AND THERE shall come forth a Shoot out of the stock of Jesse [David's father], and a Branch out of his roots shall grow and bear fruit. 10 And it shall be in that day that the Root of Jesse shall stand as a signal for the peoples; of Him shall the nations inquire and seek knowledge, and His dwelling shall be glory [His rest glorious]!

Jeremiah 23:4 And I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them. And they will fear no more nor be dismayed, neither will any be missing or lost, says the Lord. 5 Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will raise up to David a righteous Branch (Sprout), and He will reign as King and do wisely and will execute justice and righteousness in the land. 6 In His days Judah shall be saved and Israel shall dwell safely: and this is His name by which He shall be called: The Lord Our Righteousness.

Revelations 22:16 I, Jesus, have sent My messenger (angel) to you to witness and to give you assurance of these things for the churches (assemblies). I am the Root (the Source) and the Offspring of David, the radiant and brilliant Morning Star.

Jesus is Our Pattern - Jesus is Our Wisdom


Jesus is Our Pattern - Jesus is Our Wisdom
 

Acts 1:1 IN THE former account [which I prepared], O Theophilus, I made [a continuous report] dealing with all the things which Jesus began to do and to teach 2 Until the day when He ascended, after He through the Holy Spirit had instructed and commanded the apostles (special messengers) whom He had chosen. 3 To them also He showed Himself alive after His passion (His suffering in the garden and on the cross) by [a series of] many convincing demonstrations [unquestionable evidences and infallible proofs], appearing to them during forty days and talking [to them] about the things of the kingdom of God. 4 And while being in their company and eating with them, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem but to wait for what the Father had promised, Of which [He said] you have heard Me speak. 5 For John baptized with water, but not many days from now you shall be baptized with (placed in, introduced into) the Holy Spirit.

Baptized with the Holy Spirit  (Diffused throughout their souls with the Holy Spirit)

Placed into the Holy Spirit      (The Abiding Life within Him, flowing into and through you)

Introduced to the Holy Spirit  (The Relationship w/ the Holy Spirit - maturity in Him developed throughout your life)

6 So when they were assembled, they asked Him, Lord, is this the time when You will reestablish the kingdom and restore it to Israel? 7 He said to them, It is not for you to become acquainted with and know what time brings [the things and events of time and their definite periods] or fixed years and seasons (their critical niche in time), which the Father has appointed (fixed and reserved) by His own choice and authority and personal power. 8 But you shall receive power (ability, efficiency, and might) when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you shall be My witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judea and Samaria and to the ends (the very bounds) of the earth. 9 And when He had said this, even as they were looking [at Him], He was caught up, and a cloud received and carried Him away out of their sight.

His Pattern is our Direction!   -  UP!!!!

We must rise upwards in our spirits -in prayer and communion with God- to the Higher Calling in Christ. We must look into the Heavens to obtain the Lord's Wisdom for the earthly life below. Just as He ascended and descended, so shall we too, on spiritual assignment. We ascend and descend in our spirits in that place of abiding in Him and fellowshipping in/with the Godhead. We ascend within our spirits, to the higher realms to obtain His Wisdom, and we descend within our spirits back to this life to dispense that wisdom that we gained. The angels also ascend and descend on assignment as well.

10 And while they were gazing intently into heaven as He went, behold, two men [dressed] in white robes suddenly stood beside them, 11 Who said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing into heaven? This same Jesus, Who was caught away and lifted up from among you into heaven, will return in [just] the same way in which you saw Him go into heaven. 12 Then [the disciples] went back to Jerusalem from the hill called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, [only] a Sabbath day's journey (three-quarters of a mile) away. 13 And when they had entered [the city], they mounted [the stairs] to the upper room where they were [indefinitely] staying--Peter and John and James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas [son] of James. 14 All of these with their minds in full agreement devoted themselves steadfastly to prayer, [waiting together] with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers. 15 Now on one of those days Peter arose among the brethren, the whole number of whom gathered together was about a hundred and twenty.

Acts 2:1 AND WHEN the day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all assembled together in one place, 2 When suddenly there came a sound from heaven like the rushing of a violent tempest blast, and it filled the whole house in which they were sitting. 3 And there appeared to them tongues resembling fire, which were separated and distributed and which settled on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled (diffused throughout their souls) with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other (different, foreign) languages (tongues), as the Spirit kept giving them clear and loud expression [in each tongue in appropriate words].
 
Through learning to develop a regular disciplined prayer life, and also maintaining a habitual corporate fellowship lifestyle, they all became one in their souls, they agreed to be knit together in thought, purpose and in deed. When they were mutually one, then the Holy Spirit came to fill that unity in their souls, with His Oneness, and diffusing Himself into theirs, He would now empower them to as His Image and Pattern, to live and witness for Him as the True Body of Christ.

Diffused: To be poured, spread, intermingled, intertwined, interwoven, merged into, etc.

5 Now there were then residing in Jerusalem Jews, devout and God-fearing men from every country under heaven. 6 And when this sound was heard, the multitude came together and they were astonished and bewildered, because each one heard them [the apostles] speaking in his own [particular] dialect. 7 And they were beside themselves with amazement, saying, Are not all these who are talking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own (particular) dialect to which we were born? 9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites and inhabitants of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and [the province of] Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and the transient residents from Rome, both Jews and the proselytes [to Judaism from other religions], 11 Cretans and Arabians too--we all hear them speaking in our own native tongues [and telling of] the mighty works of God! 12 And all were beside themselves with amazement and were puzzled and bewildered, saying one to another, What can this mean? 13 But others made a joke of it and derisively said, They are simply drunk and full of sweet [intoxicating] wine.

The Transformation Process cannot be understood by those who are walking not in the Lord's Abiding Relationship.

The Spiritual dimension cannot be understood by the natural dimension. It must be transformed first into spiritual, then it can be unfolded from within them, to be understood throughout their being, and then outwards.

(The Divine is communicated/transferred to the Spirit to the Soul, then Soul to the Mind, then Mind to the Body, then Body to the World.)

You are an Eternal Spirit, which is connected to the heavenly realms

You have a Soul - (mind, will, emotions, personality)

Your Soul perceives and functions through the faculty of your Mind

Your Mind then signals and instructs the Body how to function

You use your Body to function in the natural realm on earth, and to do God's will.

Romans 8:5 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.

Jude 1:19 It is these who are [agitators] setting up distinctions and causing divisions--merely sensual [creatures, carnal, worldly-minded people], devoid of the [Holy] Spirit and destitute of any higher spiritual life.

Mark 8:35 For whoever wants to save his [ higher, spiritual, eternal] life, will lose it [the lower, natural, temporal life which is lived only on earth]; and whoever gives up his life [which is lived only on earth] for My sake and the Gospel's will save it [his higher, spiritual life in the eternal kingdom of God]. 

Jesus said, The eternal Kingdom of God is alive and active within you!

Mark 12:29 Jesus answered, The first and principal one of all commands is: Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord;
30 And you shall love the Lord your God out of and with your whole heart and out of and with all your soul (your life) and out of and with all your mind (with your faculty of thought and your moral understanding) and out of and with all your strength. This is the first and principal commandment. 31 The second is like it and is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.

1. Out of and with your heart  (spirit)

2. Out of and with your soul   (mind, will, emotions, and personality)

3. Out of and with your mind  (thought, reason, understanding)

4. Out of and with your body  (action)

The Various Expressions of the Holy Spirit in, and through, and with His People:

14 But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them: You Jews and all you residents of Jerusalem, let this be [explained] to you so that you will know and understand; listen closely to what I have to say. 15 For these men are not drunk, as you imagine, for it is [only] the third hour (about 9:00 a.m.) of the day; 16 But [instead] this is [the beginning of] what was spoken through the prophet Joel: 17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, God declares, that I will pour out of My Spirit upon all mankind, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels] and your young men shall see visions (divinely granted appearances), and your old men shall dream [divinely suggested] dreams. 18 Yes, and on My menservants also and on My maidservants in those days I will pour out of My Spirit, and they shall prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels and predicting future events pertaining especially to God's kingdom]. 19 And I will show wonders in the sky above and signs on the earth beneath, blood and fire and smoking vapor; 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness and the moon into blood before the obvious day of the Lord comes--that great and notable and conspicuous and renowned [day]. 21 And it shall be that whoever shall call upon the name of the Lord [invoking, adoring, and worshiping the Lord--Christ] shall be saved.

Prophesy [telling forth the divine counsels]

Visions (divinely granted appearances)

Dreams [divinely suggested] dreams

Trances, Experiences, Revelations, Manifestations, etc.

Translations - Transportations (Philip, Peter)

Miracles, Signs, and Wonders, etc.

Great Spiritual Awakening, Fruitfulness, and Harvesting of souls

22 You men of Israel, listen to what I have to say: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man accredited and pointed out and shown forth and commended and attested to you by God by the mighty works and [the power of performing] wonders and signs which God worked through Him [right] in your midst, as you yourselves know--

Jesus was accredited by God

Accredited: (officially recognized as meeting the essential requirements, accepted as authoritative)

Jesus was pointed out by God

Pointed out:
Matthew 17:5 While he was still speaking, behold, a shining cloud [composed of light] overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, This is My Son, My Beloved, with Whom I am [and have always been] delighted. Listen to Him!

Jesus was shown forth and commended by God

Shown forth:
John 10:25 Jesus answered them, I have told you so, yet you do not believe Me [you do not trust Me and rely on Me]. The very works that I do by the power of My Father and in My Father's name bear witness concerning Me [they are My credentials and evidence in support of Me].

John 14:11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me; or else believe Me for the sake of the [very] works themselves. [If you cannot trust Me, at least let these works that I do in My Father's name convince you.]

Jesus was attested to by God

Attested to:
1 Timothy 2:6 Who gave Himself as a ransom for all [people, a fact that was] attested to at the right and proper time.

23 This Jesus, when delivered up according to the definite and fixed purpose and settled plan and foreknowledge of God, you crucified and put out of the way [killing Him] by the hands of lawless and wicked men. 24 [But] God raised Him up, liberating Him from the pangs of death, seeing that it was not possible for Him to continue to be controlled or retained by it. 25 For David says in regard to Him, I saw the Lord constantly before me, for He is at my right hand that I may not be shaken or overthrown or cast down [from my secure and happy state]. 26 Therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue exulted exceedingly; moreover, my flesh also will dwell in hope [will encamp, pitch its tent, and dwell in hope in anticipation of the resurrection]. 27 For You will not abandon my soul, leaving it helpless in Hades (the state of departed spirits), nor let Your Holy One know decay or see destruction [of the body after death]. 28 You have made known to me the ways of life; You will enrapture me [diffusing my soul with joy] with and in Your presence. 32 This Jesus God raised up, and of that all we [His disciples] are witnesses. 39 For the promise [of the Holy Spirit] is to and for you and your children, and to and for all that are far away, [even] to and for as many as the Lord our God invites and bids to come to Himself.

Us:  We also reveal the Knowledge of God, and the Reality of God through our Lives!  -  (Body, Spirit, and Soul)

2 Corinthians 4:10 Always carrying about in the body the liability and exposure to the same putting to death that the Lord Jesus suffered, so that the [ resurrection] life of Jesus also may be shown forth by and in our bodies.

So, yield all of your heart, all of your soul, all of your mind, and all of your strength fully to Him, and then love your neighbor as yourself with His Love, and let God out of you!!!
