Blood Teaching Part 2

Posted: September 17, 2010 in Power of the Blood of Jesus Teachings

(Please Note: This was first written November 20, 2008 but many could not manuver my last blog site)

I was extremely busy in ministry matters from September to the beginning part of November. It seemed that I was getting so much revelation so fast from the throne room, but had no way to give it out. I felt like I was pregnant and looking for the day of delivery. One day at the end of October I was getting dressed before the mirror and I heard the Spirit of the Lord speak, “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision.” (Joel 3:14) A few days later before the same mirror I heard “The shift has begun.”

The Lord showed me in prayer at the beginning of the year that there was going to be a shift in the economy this year, and not to be afraid when I see things happen. Many people have thought they could get away with corruption and greed, but there is always a harvest to the things we have sown.

I Corinthians 10:11, “These things happened to them (Israelites in the wilderness) as examples for us. They were written down to warn us who live at the end of the age. (13) The temptations in your life are no different from what others experience. And God is faithful. He will not allow the temptation to be more than we can stand. When you are tempted, He will show you a way out so that you can endure.” (NLT) The King James says He will show you a “way of escape”. The Amplified Bible expounds the meaning of temptations to be “no temptation or trial has come to you that is not beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear”.

This attached message is the first of five regarding what the Lord has shown for us at this time. Our destination that we will finish will be Isaiah 65:8. “Thus says the Lord; As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it’, so will I do for My servants’ sake, that I may not destroy them all.”

God has shown me how to be protected no matter what happens on this earth. This protection is not just for us, but for those who are connected to us naturally and spiritually. I hope to get this message out over a week’s period because I feel it is so important. This first chapter, part one, may seem very negative, but I need to have you see prophetically what season we are in right now.

This first message covers the numeric meaning of the year 5769, what happened in our world over those feast days that began with the Jewish New Year 5769 and what is happening right now. Jesus said, “Let not your heart be troubled!” Refuse to fear, turn completely to God and His promises for you today.

Time To Make Much of the Blood

Posted: September 17, 2010 in Power of the Blood of Jesus Teachings

Isaiah 65:8, Thus says the Lord, “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it.’ So will I do for My servant’s sake, that I may not destroy them all.” The Lord told me August of 2008, from now on you will no longer take communion for yourself, but for your cluster.

The year 5769 and 2009 both end with “9”, and has to do in the Hebrew understanding with finality, judgment or decisions. Harvest is decision time, when there is separation of the good and the bad.

When the grapes are picked, they are picked in a cluster. In that cluster of grapes, there are small, big, ripe and overripe grapes. Grapes are the one of the last things to be harvested and the grapes are always picked in a cluster, not individually. When a nation is judged, it is not the individual that is judged, but the nation. The Bible talks much about the iniquity being “full” and the “land vomiting them out”. [Genesis 15:6, Ezekiel 9:9, Leviticus 18:29]. I believe what we are experiencing in the earth right now is the harvest of sin and wickedness.

When Egypt was judged, the Hebrews in Goshen were spared. The last plague was the death of the first born son, but the Hebrews were spared by the blood of the lamb applied to their doorposts. (Ex 12) When Jericho was judged, Rahab the harlot and all her ‘unrighteous’ family were spared by a scarlet thread hanging from her window. (Joshua 2 & 6) In both cases, the people inside were not spared by their righteousness, but by the signs of the blood- pointing ahead to the Blood of Jesus. Not only were their lives protected, but all their possessions.

In the New Testament we have the example of a believer protecting their home. I Corinthians 7:14, “For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy.”

Stand in the gap for your family and allow God to draw them with His goodness and you daily take communion for your cluster, those who you are connected with naturally and spiritually. It is time to make much of the Blood of Jesus and overcome (Revelation 12:11). It is the goodness of God that leads men to repentance. When they are spared, I believe it will draw our loved ones to salvation.

This does not mean they will be saved and go to heaven, but they will be protected by your faith in the Blood of Jesus during judgment times, when times are hard. 2 Timothy 3:1 reads in the Amplified Bible, “But understand this, that in the last days will come (set in) perilous times of great stress and trouble [hard to deal with and hard to bear].”

The first example of a family protected by the faith of one righteous person was during the flood, when Noah and his family were spared. The ark was covered with “pitch”, which in Hebrew is kaphar, the same root word as kapporeth, the only word used for the Mercy Seat. The Mercy Seat is the covering over the Ark of the Covenant that contained the Law, the Ten Commandments. James 2:13, “Mercy triumphs over judgment.”

Hear this- If you side with the sin side right now you will be caught in the consequences as the cry of sin comes up to God in fullness. It is time to CRY OUT FOR MERCY. Let’s hold back judgment and earnestly desire with God for “all men to be saved.” James 5:7 tells us the Husbandman (Father God) is waiting for the harvest. It is time to reap souls for the Kingdom of God. Joel 3:14, “Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.”

Days of Awe

Posted: September 16, 2010 in Teshuvah 40 Day Devotional

Rosh Hashanah (Head of the Year) began last Wednesday at sundown, September 8, 2010 which turned Tishri 1, 5771 on the Hebrew calendar. Keep in mind the Jewish day always begins at nightfall. (Gen 1:5b, “And the evening and the morning were the first day”)

The Feast of Trumpets (also called Rosh Hashanah or Yom Teruah) begins by the blowing of trumpets (shofars or rams horns). There are 100 blasts of the shofar:

Tekiah blast“- awakening sound, one long blast (3 second)
Shevarim, “broken”- three shorter ones- weeping, lamenting, broken heart
Teruah, “alarm”, nine quick blasts in short succession (totaling 3 seconds)
These series are blown 11 times for a total of 99 blasts
After that, the final blast is knows as Tekiah Hagodolah, “great blast” or “THE LAST TRUMP”! (minimum of 10 seconds)

Rosh Hashanah began 10 Days of Awe that will end on Yom Kippur, Day of Atonement that begins at nightfall Friday evening, September 17, which begins Tishri 10 on the Hebraic calendar. Yom Kippur ends the 40 days of Teshuvah (repentance, turning back to God). For 40 days they have been reading aloud Psalm 27, as they make a Chuppah (canopy or covenant covering) over themselves and their loved one. They have also been making restitution to those who they have harmed, giving to the poor and doing acts of kindness. (things we should do daily, but neglect)

At the time of the blowing of the trumpets on Rosh Hashanah, it is believed by the observing Jewish people that these blasts are heard in heaven and 3 books are opened. Malachi 3:16, “Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name. (17) “They shall be Mine,” says the LORD of hosts, “On the day that I make them My jewels.* And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him. (18) Then you shall again discern Between the righteous and the wicked, Between one who serves God And one who does not serve Him.” (Also see Revelation 20:12)

Book of the Righteous sealed with the seal of God who would immediately be written for good life the next year (Revelation 3:5)
Book of the Unrighteous, who would be judged during the year; the totally unrighteous whose names are blotted out.(Ps 69:28)
Book of the Intermediate, those who are not completely righteous or wicked. They would have until the Day of Atonement to make restitution and get right with God or they would not be in the Book of Life. (Joel 3:14)

L’Shanah Tovah Tikatevu
Literal Hebrew to English Translation: “May you be inscribed (in the Book of Life) for a good year.” This traditional Rosh HaShanah greeting wishes others a good year and is often shorted to “Shanah Tovah” (Good Year).

Years ago, the Rabbis realized that Ha’Satan (The Accuser) actually has the numberical value of the Hebrew letters of 364. They believed that there was one day that Ha’satan did not have access to them, The Day of Atonement which is the day when the blood was put on the Mercy Seat on the Holy of Holies for the sins of the nation.

As a believer, I am spending the Days of Awe praying for our nation, the nation of Israel and for the Jewish people to find Jesus as their Messiah.

Ezekiel 22:30, “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.”

How many is our LORD going to find this year? Are you one of those who stand in the gap?

Beautiful Heavens to the West Tonight

Posted: September 11, 2010 in Signs In The Heavens

Today was the 2nd day of Rosh Hashanah and Day 2 of the Days of Awe.

Tonight right after sundown the New Moon (moon born again, The Holy) was on the bottom, Venus (Brilliance, symbol of the Bride of Christ), was up to the left in the bowl of the Cresent Moon and Saturn (Shabbatai, Lord of the Sabbath) and Mars (Ma’adim, the Adam) were to their right.

Tonight is also the end of Ramadan, month of fasting. The Cresent moon and star symbol is with the star on the right side and the moon turning the other way. Sign that God is turning things around? Selah.

Month of Tishri begins Wednesday at Sundown

Posted: September 5, 2010 in Hebrew Months

Every Hebrew month has a Tribe, Constellation and Hebrew letter associated with it. These hold keys to our promises for that month and help us to pray in line with God’s timing and to get our lives into time with His specific appointed times.

Tishri (Tishrei) is known as the ‘seventh month’ in the Bible according to the Biblical Calendar and is the ‘first month’on the civil calendar. The name of Tishri is never found in the Bible since it is a Babylonian name. It is called the ‘seventh month’ and one time called ‘Ethanim‘, meaning ‘enduring‘, meaning permanent streams still flowed. (I Kings 8:2)

This is the most Holy Day (holiday) intensive month on the Jewish Calendar. This month begins the numerical year change from 5770 to 5771, the years since Creation. (Much controversy: Rabbinical teaching states that there are 165 missing years, which would actually put us 5936 if this is the case. Whatever the case, we are nearing the time that the 7th Day of Rest begins if 1 day = 1,000 years, 2 Peter 3:8)

Tishri 1 Rosh Chodesh Nissan
Tishri 1 the year changes from 5770 to 5771
Tishri 1 is the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Hashanah) (Yom Teru’ah) at sundown night before (9/8/10) (Judgment is rendered)
Tishri 1 begins the Days of Awe (9/8/10-9/18/10)
Tishri 2 is the 2nd day of Feast of Trumpets
Tishri 3 is the Fast of Gedaliah (Zechariah 8:19)
Tishri 18 is the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur) at sundown night before (9/17/10) (Judgment is sealed)
Tishri 15 begins the 7 Day Feast of Tabernacles (Sukkot) at sundown the night before (9/22/10 – 9/29/10)
Tishri 21 is Hoshana Rabbah (Day 7) The Great Salvation (when Judgment is delivered)
Tishri 22 is Shemini Atzeret (in Israel) (Lev 23:34), Rejoicing in the Torah (ends yearly cycle of Torah reading)
Tishri 23 is Shemini Atzeret (outside of Israel)

TRIBE- Ephriam, Ephraim is the 2nd born of Joseph and his name means ‘double portion’. He was the 2nd born, but always mentioned first because of his leadership qualities. His symbol is a cluster of grapes, in remembrance of the double portion of grapes the 12 spies brought from the Promised Land. The only 2 spies that had a good report were Joshua from the Tribe of Ephraim and Caleb from the Tribe of Judah. Both Tribes of Judah and Ephraim have leadership and kingly qualities which resulted in the splitting of the land with King Jeraboam (north, Ephraim) and King Rehaboam (south, Judah). His weakness was idol worship and strength was his leadership qualities (Joshua & Samuel)

CONSTELLATION / MAZAL- Libra (the Scales) The Hebrew word is Mazanaim, ‘the scales weighing’. This month’s constellation symbolizes the divine judgments of Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur, when men’s deeds are weighed in judgment. God created everything in perfect balance in the universe, but man was given a free will to choose and because of Adam all men have sinned, therefore all of our righteousness is as ‘filthy rags’. Without Jesus paying the price for our sins, we could never measure up to God’s righteousness. Now we have been made righteous.

LETTER- Lamed This letter is the 12th letter of the Hebrew Aleph Bet having a numerical value of 30. The pictograph of Lamed is of a cattle goad or shepherd’s staff and is the tallest letter of all and is considered to be the heart of the Aleph Bet. Lamed symbolizes 1) control 2) to prod or urge forward 3) to go toward or forward 4) a tongue 5) learn 6) teach. Each stanza of Psalm 119:89-96 begin with Lamed and tell us that God’s authority controls and protects us like a shepherd’s staff. This is a month to learn of righteousness, or “God’s ways of doing and being right“.

Nablus, Israel

Posted: September 3, 2010 in Israel Study

Nablus was first called Shechem and when God called Abram out of Ur of the Caldeans and was led by the LORD to the land of Canaan, the first altar Abram built was in Shechem (Genesis 12:6-7). This was the first place that God promised the land to Abram and to his descendants. This was the place that Simeon and Levi waged revenge on the defilement of thier only sister, Dinah. (Genesis 34) This is where Joseph, the 11th son of Jacob is buried and the location of Jacob’s well. It is the largest city in the West Bank.

The Greek called it Neapolis (New City) and today it is the modern day city of Nablus. It is located between the mountains of blessing and cursing, Mount Gerizim & Mount Ebal in what is now called the West Bank. The word Nablus means ‘violence’.

July 11, 1927 (Tammuz 11, 5687) an earthquake shook the West Bank and the city of Nablus was most heavily hit. Almost every building was leveled and many were killed. 1919-21, the Arabs refused to allow Jews to settle there. Yet, following the quake, the Jewish municipality of Tel Aviv sent two truckloads of bread and financial assistance to thier enemies. According to government reports, many Arab lives were lost in the quake, but there was not one Jewish casualty.

Yesha, Israel

Posted: September 3, 2010 in Israel Study

Have you wondered where Yesha, Israel is located? Yesha is a Hebrew acronym for “Judea, Samaria Gaza” (Yehuda Shomron ‘Azza) , the land that was returned to the Jewish people in the Six Day War. It represented the land of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, but now used as the name of the resettlement of Jews in the area of the West Bank.

Ezekiel 36:1, “Son of man prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say…’O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord!” In Vs 2 they are called the ancient heights. Read the whole chapter that preceeds the Gog & Magog chapters of 38 & 39.

What is the West Bank? The West Bank is Judea & Samaria. The West Bank and the mountains of Israel are almost identical and contain all the altars made to the LORD by Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

The West Bank contains the cities of Jerusalem, Bethlehem, Bethany, Hebron, Ai, Bethel, Shilo and Shechem. All these cities were in the Mountains of Israel, the Land that was Promised to the Hebrew people by God Himself. Genesis 13:17; Genesis 15:18; 17:19; 28:3-4; 28:13; Joshua 15; Romans 11:29.

Numbers 34:2, “This is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance.”

Israel is 9 miles wide at its narrowest point and 290 miles long, yet it is a stumbling block for all the nations of the world. Zechariah 12:3. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/139456 . The settlers in Yesha are risking their very lives to live in their inherited land. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for all Israel.

Ezekiel 36:7, “Therefore thus says the LORD God; “I have raised My hand in an oath that surely the nations that are around you shall bear thier own shame.” (when God raises His hand in an oath, He is swearing an oath that cannot be taken back)

Elul 23, 5770- Teshuvah Day 23 (9/2/10)

Posted: September 3, 2010 in Teshuvah 40 Day Devotional

What we say reveal our heart.

What we say and how we say it is who we are. Angry, hurtful words define an angry, hurtful person. Kind, compassionate words define a kind, considerate person (Chofetz Chaim, page xxi) But more than anything, words are the sole medium through which the Jew fulfills the purpose for which he was created – to communicate Hashem’s greatness and presence in this world. (page xxii)

Today is understood to be the first day of Creation that God said “Light Be!”. This brought the creating Spirit presence back into the earth. We also are created to create with our words.

This 40 days of Turning Back to God (Teshuvah), the most important thing we can do is judge everything we say according to the royal law of love. I Cor 13:4-7, everything. But don’t walk around not saying anything, speak praises unto God where ever you are, bringing light into this dark world.

Elul 22, 5770 – Teshuvah Day 22 (9/1/10)

Posted: September 1, 2010 in Teshuvah 40 Day Devotional

Have you been doing things these past 22 days that cause you to “turn to” (shuv) God or to “turn away” from God?

I have been watching my mouth and love walk very carefully, getting rid of bad and doing good. One of the things that has really helped me is a book I bought on our 40th Wedding Anniversary. It is a daily devotional called “Choftez Chaim” which means ‘desirer of life’. It is a compilation of daily Hebraic lessons, translated into English, dealing with your tongue and speech.

It deal much with Loshon Hora, evil talk. In its general sense, the term referst to various forms of speech which is derogatory or harmful in nature. As God is dealing with me, I am amazed at how my ears pick up the negative people are speaking and it is hard to be silent, but since God is dealing with me for me I will trust Him to deal with those who need to clean their mouth.

Here is a statement in the book I have marked: “The speaker of loshon hora is motivated by this very powerful human need to feel important. So, he sets himself up as the other person’s superior by standing in judgment. “The other person is bad. Therefore, I am better. Her children are rude, therefore mine are polite. His business is mismanaged, therefore mine is run well.” Instead of striving honestly to lift himself, the speaker of loshon hora attains his height by looking down upon those he has cast to the ground.”

Selah, pause and think about this. This is a time to judge ourselves.
