Wielding the Sword of the Spirit (1)

(audio)

David Eells, 10/25/26

I want to share a revelation Dan Clark sent to me many years ago, and I think it'll be a blessing. His pastor friend, Tom Lyerla received this revelation, and it’s called:

Who Is Worthy to Wield the Sword?

Tom Lyerla - 04/13/2008 (David's notes in red)

I have never experienced anything like this in my life. This open vision was in full color. When I could not stop crying, I knew that the Lord had downloaded this to me for a reason. I do not have a full understanding of this vision as of yet. I pray He will release to me the revelation of it.

I was sitting in church just before service, as everyone was praying. All of a sudden, I started to cry. Then I saw this shiny object coming down from Heaven, as if it were a rocket trying to burn itself through the atmosphere. It burned throughout the sky until it struck into the earth. This huge, blinding light was now a huge sword stuck in the earth.

(This parable is clearly using a well-known novel written by T.H. White in 1938 called “The Sword in the Stone”. It was about a young boy named Wart (sounds like a lowly lifestyle, right?) He was a wart who grew up in medieval England and befriends a magician named Merlin. Of course, God does not agree with this part, but He uses things that are in people's minds to speak to them, especially about the positive part of this revelation, to tell a larger story, as his name implies. Wart was nothing to brag about, but was trained by Merlin to be wise and valiant and to ultimately take his place as king. 

In the story, a test was given to the people of England. A sword was found lodged in an anvil and stone with the inscription written: “Who so Pulleth out This Sword of this Stone and Anvil, is Rightwise King Born of All England”. Because of “strength, knowledge and maturity,” Wart pulled the sword from its lodging place to become King Arthur. The symbolism in this vision is that one will be found worthy to become King and have the authority to judge by the sword, which we know to be the Word of God, according to Heb.4:12-13 For the word of God is living, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and quick to discern the thoughts and intents of the heart. 13 And there is no creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and laid open before the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

And the Sword is the Word of God, and the Lord Himself, Who sees not as man sees, but looks on the heart. He is the Judge. And we are warned not to be the judge. But I believe that this sword represents the authority to judge by the Word. Wart was not high nobility but from humble beginnings, which gave him a heart for the people.

We also know that man is forbidden to judge under penalty of being judged by his own sword. Let me read Mat.7:1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured unto you. So the warning is that man has no right to judge, at least in the Kingdom of God. Man doesn't have the right to judge his fellow man. Only God knows the thoughts and intents of the heart, and the Word of God is sharper than a two-edged sword, able to divide and to discern even the inside of a man. Now the Lamb is the One Who has been counted worthy to judge and He can judge through humble people like Wart..

Rev.5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that sat on the throne a book written within and on the back, close sealed with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a great voice, Who is worthy to open the book, and to loose the seals thereof? 3 And no one in the heaven, or on the earth, or under the earth, was able to open the book, or to look thereon. 4 And I wept much, because no one was found worthy to open the book, or to look thereon: 5 and one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not; behold, the Lion that is of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath overcome to open the book and the seven seals thereof.

So we know that Jesus, Who is the Word of God, has the right to judge. And He always has from the beginning. But as we saw in Matthew 7, He is warning man that you don't have the right to judge. Nobility only votes for nobility.

Rev.5:9 And they sing a new song, saying, Worthy art thou to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and didst purchase unto God with thy blood men of every tribe, and tongue, and people, and nation, We know that Jesus was found worthy to judge by opening the judgment seals in Revelation, and that the first seal is the white horse rider who is the Man-child company of first-fruits, through whom He will judge. The first seal He opened is Rev.6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come. 2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.

The first judgment released by the Lord is the white horse rider. I believe, and I've taught in the past, that the white horse rider is neither Christ nor Antichrist, but Christ in a body of the first fruits that we call the Man-child. And Moses filled that position in a parallel time in history. He brought judgment upon the world to loose God's people from bondage. And Jesus Himself, in His day, was the Man-child who brought judgment because of the words that He spoke. The word divides. The word decides. We're going to be judged according to His Word, as He said Himself. 

Continuing with Tom’s revelation. Many people saw the sword come down to the earth. Then I saw pastors with signs around their necks approaching it. They pushed and shoved at each other, trying to reach the sword to be the one to pull it from the ground. The signs around their necks read the words PRIDE, ARROGANT, CONTROLLING, COMPROMISE, GREED, etc. As the pastors touched the sword's handle, they fell over DEAD! Some to the left and some to the right, creating a huge pile of dead people everywhere. 

So, he released the judgment by releasing the Word. These pastors have not overcome to be used of the Lord to judge, and when they do judge, they judge themselves.

I then saw the light moving towards a large crowd of dark warriors that were attacking this person who had attained the sword. I could not see who was carrying the sword, but what I could see was a multitude of people following the person who was carrying this great sword.

That reminds you a lot of what Romans 2 says. In Jesus' day, some people thought they were wise enough to judge, and they judged Him and His disciples, and they all died. You say, but they didn't die; they persecuted them. They brought them to death. Yes, but they died. In the Kingdom, death is spiritual as well as physical. They died; they became corrupt and were reprobated. They couldn't see; their hearts were hardened, their eyes were closed, and their ears were closed, and they died. 

Rom.2:1 Wherefore thou art without excuse, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest dost practise the same things. The Lord is the Judge. So, he's saying that if a person is found to be unworthy to be used of the Lord to judge, and they judge others, then they die because they are condemned with the same condemnation that they bring upon others, because they're still sinners, right? 

Let me read the previous chapter so you get a better understanding of it. Rom.1:28 And even as they refused to have God in their knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting; 29 being filled with all unrighteousness, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 30 backbiters, hateful to God, insolent, haughty, boastful, (Sounds similar to these pastors, doesn't it?) inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 31 without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, unmerciful: 32 who, knowing the ordinance of God, that they that practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but also consent with them that practice them.

Back to Rom.2:2 And we know that the judgment of God is according to truth against them that practice such things. (Meaning that a man could be finding mercy, forgiveness, and grace from God, but when he judges his neighbor, and he's not worthy, he loses that grace, and he receives the condemnation that he would have gotten or should have gotten all along.) 

3 And reckonest thou this, O man, (Notice he emphasizes the word man, because we are sons of man and sons of God, are we not? But the man part of us is forbidden to judge. Only the God part of us is capable of judging. People like to imply that it's God when many times it's just them. We need to be very careful of that because if we let the old man speak and judge, he's going to bring judgment upon us.) who judgest them that practice such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? 4 Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? (We should appreciate God’s mercy and grace shown towards us for not judging us for the things that we do that are contrary to His Word. When a person judges another in the flesh, God is saying that they bring condemnation upon themselves for their own sins.)

5 but after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up for thyself wrath in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; (So, He shows us that the person who judges in the flesh is treasuring up wrath in the day of wrath. There's a time when payback is coming.) 6 who will render to every man according to his works: (Now, if we have grace and mercy because we walk by faith and repentance, not judging, so we're not going to receive according to our past works. The Lord bore the curse upon the cross for those who are repentant and counting upon His mercy. But for judging, critical, factious, and slandering people, the Lord is saying they don't have a covering. The Lord's going to judge them. Just as we saw these pastors who touched that sword of judgment, it judged them, killing them, and they died. I believe that what's implied here is a spiritual death. As we just read, they refused to have God in their knowledge, and God gave them up to a reprobate mind, meaning death.) 

7 to them that by patience in well-doing seek for glory and honor and incorruption, eternal life: 8 but unto them that are factious, and obey not the truth, but obey unrighteousness, shall be wrath and indignation, 9 tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that worketh evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Greek; 10 but glory and honor and peace to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek: There's no respect of persons with God, so I believe that this is a repetition of history. Just as those leaders of Judaism thought that they were worthy to judge Jesus, but instead were reprobated and judged themselves. This was not only a spiritual judgment upon their souls of reprobation, but a physical judgment that came in 70 AD, in which they were basically wiped out for what they did to God’s people according to Josephus.

So also, with these men who thought that they could put their hand to the sword, instead it killed them. Multitudes of them are coming, except in this case, it's calling them pastors, leaders who think that they are worthy to judge true Christianity, but they have never known true Christianity; they will be judging God's chosen people and will bring death to them. That's what Tom’s revelation is saying.

And we see this in 1 Chronicles, chapter 10: the old order ministry, and Saul, who was the old order leader of God's people, and those who followed him, went to war against the Philistines. Saul hadn't put to death his old man, and he wasn't able to conquer the enemies of God's people. He was attempting by the sword to bring judgment upon them. And yet it brought death to him. 1Ch.10:4 Then said Saul unto his armor-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armor-bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. Therefore, Saul took his sword and fell upon it. 5 And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead, (because the sword that he was using to judge these sinners killed him) he likewise fell upon his sword, and died. 6 So Saul died, and his three sons; and all his house died together. 

So, they all died together by their own hand there, by the sword of their enemies. They were not found worthy to administer the judgment. After Saul died, all the people who did not follow him to death made David their king. David had been found worthy because he killed the Goliath giant of “self”. David, as a type of Jesus and the end-time Man-child company, was given the authority of the throne of David to judge. By David's sword, the enemies who conquered Saul were destroyed, and the people were freed from the beast kingdom of the Philistines.)

Now, let’s read of the humble beginning of Jesus. Luk.1:31 And behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. 32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: 33 and he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Jesus was given the authority to judge. He sat on the throne of David. Jesus said in Rev.3:21 He that overcometh, I will give to him to sit down with me in my throne, as I also overcame, and sat down with my Father in his throne. As an overcomer with His overcomer children, Jesus, was given the authority to judge forever and ever. 

Once again, like in the days of Jesus, God is going to raise up some Davids who are the Man-child body in our day. It's not the Man-child that's important. It's the One Who lives in them that's important. It is the Word overcoming in us; it’s having the Word that's sown out of heaven into our hearts to bear the fruit of the One Who can judge. The Lord doesn't choose to use somebody who's living in the same kind of sin to judge anybody. It says in 2Co.10:6 and being in readiness to avenge all disobedience, when your obedience shall be made full. (If a person is living in a sin, they have no right to judge anybody else in that sin. That's what we read in Romans chapter 2, and we see that it’s very dangerous to do.)

Now, we know that David was given a sword. Jesus was given a sword. The Man-child will be given a sword. And I think we have a pretty good parable in Judges chapter 7, where Gideon was given a sword. And I think that's relevant to what we're seeing here, too.

Let me read some of it to you. Jdg.6:1 And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah: and Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years. (This is a type and a shadow of the tribulation.) 14 And Jehovah looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and save Israel from the hand of Midian: have not I sent thee? (Gideon didn't think he was capable of much in himself. God chose him for that purpose. And he complained that he wasn't all that much. His family was the poorest in Manasseh, and he was the least in his father's house. But when the Lord commands you to go, that's what He means. When He says, ‘Go in this thy might’, since I've told you to go, you can go with might, right? God finally got it across to him that He wasn't counting on Gideon, but that He was the one Who was going to take care of this enemy. 

Jdg.7:2 And Jehovah said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hand, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. (God really wanted someone weak in his own ability, and He wanted a people who were weak in their own ability to go against the beast kingdom that was coming against them.)

Jdg.7:12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like locusts for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand which is upon the sea-shore for multitude. (And yet God was whittling them down to 300 men and sending Gideon. But Gideon still wasn't confident that God could even use him to do this great thing. So God says, “Well, okay, take your servant and go on down to the enemy camp and I'll show you something.”)

13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man telling a dream unto his fellow; and he said, Behold, I dreamed a dream; and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian, and came unto the tent, and smote it so that it fell, and turned it upside down, so that the tent lay flat. Surely Gideon would have chosen a mightier sword than that.) 14 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: into his hand God hath delivered Midian, and all the host.

Jdg.7:19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outermost part of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch, when they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake in pieces the pitchers that were in their hands. (God did this, but He used Gideon to do it. No man can take credit. The barley bread represents the first fruits, and that's who Gideon was. Barley is a first fruits harvest.)

God had perfected 300 men to go with him. Verse 19 says, and so Gideon and the hundred men that were with him, because they split up into three different groups. You see, they were coming against three different groups: the Midianites, the Amalekites, and the children of the East. In our time, this represents the kings of the North, the South, and the East; it's three companies. Babylon was divided into three, and the Bible tells us that the world is Babylon. At the end war, when the Beast is seeking to destroy God's people, they’ll be divided into three companies. The people who lived among the Northern, Southern, and Eastern people in those three companies are also three companies of overcomers. In this case, it represents the Man-child.

Jdg.7:20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the torches in their left hands, (They broke the pitchers with the torches within, and the light of God shone forth. The clay pitchers represents the old carnal vessels that we walk in here, which have to be broken so that the inner man of light can be seen in the world.) and the trumpets in their right hands wherewith to blow; and they cried, The sword of Jehovah and of Gideon. (So it is the Sword of the Lord, but Gideon is being used to swing it. And notice that the sword is not a physical sword at all. It’s the fact that the vessel was broken so that the true Light of God on the inside, Who is the true judge, can come forth.)

…and blow the trumpets because the trumpets spiritually represent turning breath into something that can be heard. Breath is the same word as spirit in the Old Testament, and a trumpet is a vessel through which the spirit or breath is turned into something that can be heard by man. That represents the true Word of the Lord going forth. The Word of the Lord is the Sword of the Lord and of Gideon.

I need to go back and finish reading that part of the vision, but I wanted to point out to you what the sword in the earth is. It's not really us so much as it is the word of God in us, and it is the Lord Himself Who has been given authority to judge.

Here he says, As the pastors touched the sword's handle, they fell over DEAD! Some to the left and some to the right. (Notice: some even died on the right! These people were dying because they were attempting to use a sword that they had no authority to use.) Creating a huge pile of dead bodies everywhere. I then saw the light moving towards a large crowd of dark warriors that were attacking this person who had attained the sword. 

Now, who has been the real enemy of the Man-child throughout history? Primarily, it was God's people. Jesus's problem was the Pharisees and the Sadducees, who thought themselves worthy to judge and were not, and it brought death and destruction to them. And the people under them, who attacked not only Jesus but also His disciples and those who walked as Jesus walked afterwards, these people, I think, all can be dark warriors. They attacked this person who had attained to the sword. 

I could not see who was carrying the sword, but what I could see was a multitude of people following the person who was carrying this great sword. Now that reminds you of David, doesn't it? After Saul died, after all those who tried to put their hand to the sword died, David was given authority. And many people, all of true Israel, who didn't die following Saul, followed David. We're coming to a repetition of history, when the Man-child reformers will be born and caught up to the throne, given the authority to judge and come back.

This is just as Moses and Aaron came; Moses came with Aaron, who means Light. Moses represented Jesus because Moses was the first one to come out of Egypt and go to the mountain of God as a Man-child, and he married a Gentile bride, one of seven daughters, representing the Philadelphia church in Revelation chapter three. He waited there for many years for Aaron to come and meet him in the mountain of God. That's the Man-child, with the Light, in the end time caught up to the throne of God.

And both Moses and Aaron went back to deliver the people in Egypt. Then God said to Moses that you shall be to him as God and he shall be thy prophet. And so we see that this Light, this Sword, represented the Great Light and the right to judge. And we see that the first thing that Jesus does in Revelation chapter six is loose the Man-child on the white horse in whom lives Jesus.

That was like Moses and Aaron, or Jesus and the end-time Man-child. Moses spoke the word, and Aaron did the signs and wonders. And the same thing is about to happen in the end times. The Lord is going to speak in the ears because Jesus said, ‘I do always those things I hear of my father.’ He's going to speak in the ears of the Man-child, and the Man-child is going to speak the words, do signs and wonders, and history will be repeated.

Why is it that the Man-child will be counted worthy to take the sword? Because Jesus lives in him by Word and Spirit. It’s not that any man is anything; whoever this is that attains to this authority to use the sword like David did, like Jesus, and like Moses did, it is going to be because of the One Who lives inside, right? Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Let me read on. A multitude of people followed the person who was carrying the great sword. This Great Sword was so very bright that it seemed to cut a path through all the darkness in its path. As the crowd of dark warriors attacked from both sides, I could see they realized they had gotten too close, and they covered their eyes with their arms, cowered to the ground, and just withered away. (This reminds me of Dorothy, who threw water on the wicked witch, and she withered away. I always thought about the water there as the Word. The witch couldn't stand the Word and it put her to death.)

The Light represents the same thing as the Word, doesn't it? This light blinded them. It shriveled them and took away their authority. This is an awesome revelation. I really enjoyed studying it and reading it. 

Now, I want to read something to you from Hidden Manna concerning that white horse rider.

Rev.6:1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come. 2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer.

The white horse rider is Christ in a modern-day body of believers called the Man-child. Jesus came at the start of the first three and a half years of the disciples' tribulation, and the Man-child will come at the beginning of the first three and a half years of the end-time tribulation. Why must this be the first seal of judgment? 1Pe.4:17 For the time is come for judgment to begin at the house of God: and if it begin first at us, what shall be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?

Just as the Man-child Jesus brought the unleavened bread of the truth, confirmed with signs and wonders which made Israel and her leaders responsible to repent or be judged, so it will be with the end-time Man-child and spiritual Israel. Joh.9:39 And Jesus said, For judgment came I into this world, that they that see not may see; and that they that see may become blind.

Simeon prophesied that the Man-child Jesus would cause both the reprobation of some and the grafting in of others in Luk.2:34 and Simeon blessed them, and said unto Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against;

Jesus was also a sign that the end-time Man-child would bring the same judgment. As it was with Jesus and Judaism, the Man-child will be spoken against by the apostate Christians. Moses, as the Man-child, brought the law, which held the rebels responsible, and brought judgment. It says in Rom.4:15 for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression. 

What does the white horse represent? As the mind of man uses his body as a beast of burden to do his work, so the horse is harnessed as a beast of burden to do his work. The horse represents the body or the beast. Psa.147:10 He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: He taketh no pleasure in the legs of a man. Now this verse could fit the other horse riders in Revelation chapter 6, but to ride a white horse symbolizes completely harnessing the strength of your body and mind to do righteous work.

The horse carries the rider like the legs of a man carry the Man-child. Overcomers ride white horses because their body submits to the spiritual man, who submits to the Holy Spirit. The difference between the Man-child and the rest of the riders in Revelation 6 is that he is the one who looses the judgments, as did Jesus, Moses, and Jeremiah. The Man-child will exercise authority and pass it on to the woman to bring the same sword, famine, and death to those who return evil for good in order to save a remnant of God's people from them. Much of this will happen after the mark of the beast, when these people cannot be saved. 

Jeremiah was a type of the Man-child who loosed the judgments to come. Jer.18:20 Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember how I stood before thee to speak good for them, to turn away thy wrath from them. 21 Therefore deliver up their children to the famine, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives become childless, and widows; and let their men be slain of death, and their young men smitten of the sword in battle. Did you notice that in Revelation chapter 6, the other horse riders were the sword, famine, and death? This is also mentioned in the life of Jeremiah.

Revelation 6:2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. Notice that he has a bow, but no arrows, meaning they have been sent forth. Apostle means one sent forth. As Jesus was from Judah and sent forth His 12 apostles and then the 70 disciples, so the Man-child is spiritually to a corporate body from Judah and will be the bow that sends forth these arrows.

Zec.9:13 For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; (Ephraim was called in Hebrew the “fullness of nations” or Gentiles, meaning he represents the woman or the church of all nations.) and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man. 14 And Jehovah shall be seen over them; and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds of the south. 15 Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine; and they shall be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar. 

As Jesus' disciples went forth to conquer the mind of the beast that ruled over the elect of God, so will the Man-child's disciples. 

Psa.127:3 Lo, children are a heritage of Jehovah; And the fruit of the womb is his reward. 4 As arrows in the hand of a mighty man, So are the children of youth. Jesus' disciples, whom He sent out like arrows, were His children of youth, for He has had many since then. He called His disciples children in John 13:33 and John 21:5. In Isaiah's prophecy of the coming of Jesus as Immanuel, he called his disciples his children. Isaiah 7:14, 8 and Isaiah 16:18.

The worldwide Man-child will send forth the disciple arrows to conquer the flesh, the beast, and the devil. Psa.127:5 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them (full of arrows): They shall not be put to shame, When they speak with their enemies in the gate. The disciple-arrows will go forth to conquer the enemies in the gate of the kingdom with the spoken Word, Jesus, Who is the Light, and called His disciples sons of light. Joh.12:36 While ye have the light, believe on the light, that ye may become sons of light. These things spake Jesus, and he departed and hid himself from them. 

Joh.3:19 And this is the judgment, that the light (Notice the light, which is the sword in our revelation from Tom.) is come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the light; for their works were evil. He said, “This is the judgment.” So whenever truth, whenever light comes into the world, this is the judgment. This is the foundation for judgment. The Man-child and the disciple arrows will once more bring the light of truth, which will judge the world. We think we're seeing judgment now, nothing like what we're about to see.

This judgment will begin at the house of God, and it will spread outward. And as it was with Jesus, those who reject the light will be reprobated, while those who accept it will be the sons of the light. Like the Man-child, Jesus spoke the judgment that the god of this world, who blinds the minds of the unbelieving carried out. (2Co.4:4) Why? Because the devil is the one who administers the curse. He has a legal right to do that, and quite often judges even God's people when they get out from under the blood, right?

Mat.13:14 And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive: That was a judgment upon them. The white horse rider will bring truth, which is the foundation for all judgment. Remember that Moses, who was the white horse rider of his day, brought all the judgments upon Egypt. In fulfillment of that type, the Man-child will lead all the other judgment horses of Revelation chapter 6 against the world.

In her book, Prepare for the Winds of Change II, chapter 1, Nita Johnson relates her vision describing the white horse rider's ministry. You will notice that it is the Word that goes forth from the anointed teachers of the end times, as they call the elect out of Babylon, and brings judgment or delivers from it. My notes are in parentheses.

On January 10, 1990, I was granted a visitation by an angel. When I first saw this majestic being, I was awestruck by his beauty, his power, and his obvious authority. He was dressed in a white garb resembling an old Roman military uniform. (This is the Roman armor spoken of in Ephesians 6:13-17 during the time of the worldwide Roman Empire.) His belt and type of breastplate were of gold. His whole appearance seemed to glow with the glow of heaven itself. He was riding an equally beautiful and powerful white war-horse. Both horse and rider were very large. The horse was much larger than any horse you and I would ever have occasion to see here on earth. It was indeed obvious that this incredible being was one of God’s higher-ranking dignitaries. (The large size of the white horse implies a corporate body of people whose bodies have become submissive beasts of burden, or, in other words, they have a holy walk. Since angelos is the Greek word for messenger, this large messenger represents the corporate body of the Man-child.)

I was frightened by the sight of him and would soon find myself quite distressed over his message to us. I first saw him as he rode this incredible white war-horse down what could have been any street in a typical subdivision anywhere in America. He was carrying a huge sword in his hand (This represents the spoken Word of God [Heb.4:12]). This Instrument was actually long enough to be a lance, but its shape was that of a sword. With it, he would touch the roof of the houses on either side of the road out of every two or three he passed, thereby bringing judgment. He would declare, “Let the judgment fall from the greatest to the least of the unrepentant.” 

I then found myself standing at the end of this same street watching intently and fearfully as this illustrious angel moved down the street in my direction. After every house that he cursed, he would proclaim warnings, as it were, into the streets. “Great judgment is coming to the lovers of this world. Those unrepentant and cripplers of the children - fear!” Again and again, he would exclaim, “Babylon is falling! Come out; come out of her my children. Take nothing with you; only the clothes on your back and don’t begrudge the cost. Judgment is coming at midnight. The hour is 11:55! I say don’t mourn the loss, only come away: Come out of her. Run from the daughter of wickedness! Time is at an end. Judgment is sure...,” this he would cry out over and over again, as one would imagine a town crier doing, such as Paul Revere of old.

He came to a standstill in front of me, sitting on his horse; he spoke with me, giving me a great deal of instruction. Calling me by name, he said, “Nita, warn the people. Warn the people of the earth that judgment is coming at midnight, and the hour is even now 11:55. Everywhere tell them to heed the teachers. Heed my anointed, for their counsel is sure, and is the way of safety and life. Counsel is coming from behind the veil. Among other things, counsel concerning spiritual warfare. Government is again coming to the Church, and God is bringing forth the mighty men of valor to lead the Church forth in war. Tell my people; Heed the teachers, for their counsel is sure and will provide safety in treacherous times. Heed the prophets and apostles; heed my anointed, for their counsel is sure and a way of safety and life. (Jesus, as the Man-child was called Teacher, Prophet, and Apostle.) 

God will be lifting up specially anointed teachers, prophets of the Most High. They will be given the rod of government. They will carry the sword (as this angel does in type), bringing separation and judgment and will be healers of great breaches among My own. (They will be used to bring the true flock into one accord with their one Shepherd, Jesus, as He prophesied.) They will prepare the saints with battle strategy and equip them with the power of a mighty warrior, bearing the anointing to spoil. (They will bring judgment on the Beast and Harlot systems.) Heaven’s government is coming in to separate, heal, and lead out into strategic battle. These prophets will be teachers who will be given counsel from behind the veil. Counsel of superior wisdom and strategy for safety, unity and spiritual warfare. They will be taken into the secret counsel of the Most High to obtain what must be diligently taught to the elect. This counsel will provide safety in treacherous times. Don’t mourn, only heed the voice of the Spirit of counsel and might. Tell my people to heed the coming anointed ones; tell them to prepare!” (Jesus comes as the latter rain to anoint the Man-child reformers.) 

From that point, he began to share many things. He gave much instruction, much information, and much warning. He finally told me I would find further understanding of these things in the book of Zechariah. “Study it, understand it, let the Holy Spirit give you much enlightenment in it,” he instructed. In closing, he said one more time, “Go forth now and tell the people of the earth. Warn them judgment is coming and it’s sure.” Then he left, and I was alone in my room. 

(Jesus manifested in these anointed apostolic teachers and prophets will be the foundation for God’s plan to “restore thy judges as at the first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: afterward thou shalt be called The city of righteousness, a faithful town” (Isa.1:26).

We're going to see the days of the ministry of Jesus again on this earth. It's not going to give any credit to man. It's going to be because God has willed it in this time, and He's prophesied it in Revelation chapter 12, and it's about to happen. 

Marion Carney had a dream on 4/25/08 about a baby being born. The mother was lying on her side with her legs kind of bent upwards towards her chest. The baby that was being delivered was clean. No blood, no umbilical cord. It was nice and clean and had perfect, colored skin, no blemishes whatsoever. It was smiling as it was being born. Its hair was perfectly combed, and the baby was beautiful. 

And obviously, since it had no umbilical cord, it wasn't being fed by the mother, but the Father. And it will be perfect. It will come into the world with a perfected Spirit and that of Jesus. Thank you, Father.)

Now let me share this dream with you that parallels the above revelations.

 

Maturity and the White Horse Rider

G. C. - 09/27/2008 (David's notes in red)

In a dream, I found myself in the company of two men. One was an old, worldly friend of mine, named David H. The other was his younger brother. (In real life David H. has no younger brother, so this has to be spiritual and symbolic.) In this dream, David H. had an understanding of the Man-child and knew much of the unleavened bread, but I had this feeling he was not walking in obedience. (Many, in a form of Gnosticism, feel that knowledge is all that is needed to be chosen, but only fruit can bring that prize.) I had the impression that although David H. had a deep understanding of the Word, he was in adultery with the world. (Knowledge makes one more responsible before the Lord to be obedient and turn from the world for the Master's use.) His little brother was younger and immature in knowledge but was not corrupted -- he was a blank slate. (Neither of these will be in the first-fruits, but the second is guiltless and will recognize and follow them; the false Davids will not.)

We were gathered together and were receiving information about the sign of the Man-child's coming. I don't know what the source was -- media or a person speaking directly to us. The information told us that we had to have gray hair in order to be in the Man-child. (Gray hair represents wisdom and maturity, meaning walking in the knowledge of the truth.) That is when my friend David H. snickered; being carnal, he resisted the thought of being gray-headed at such a young age. That is when I saw David Eells in a vision. He was very much pleased by this announcement and said humbly, “Hey, I have gray hair.” (I am being used as a type of the Davids who make up the worldwide man-child ministry.)

The scene changed and I was asked by a friend to help him work at a farm. (The Lord is our friend and the farmer, if we obey Him. Joh.15:14 Ye are my friends, if ye do the things which I command you.) There were many things to be done there, and he needed me to do a task for him. We went to the farm, and as I was walking around, I noticed everything was neat and clean; even the barn and stalls were very clean. (The horses [harnessed flesh] are not in the stall but going to work. This is probably speaking of the Revelation 6 horses of judgment loosed during the tribulation.) A lot of walls were a bright and clean white. (White walls represent sanctification.)

The friend showed me what seemed to be the deck of a large boat. It was very large and seemed to be like a dance floor, as well. The boat, however, was built into the ground. (This Gospel ship is very stable, its roots planted in the earth like the seed that bears fruit in the parable of the sower. Also, we have many revelations of an ark/ship-shaped piece of land in TN that the Lord has promised us as a refuge school to send out witnesses.) He said there was going to be a huge party here for the farmer's friends. (The farmer is the Lord, and we are His friends, farm hands, and crop. The party in another parable is the seven-dayMarriage Feast, which is the last seven days/years that the Bride feasts with the Groom before the Bride goes to the Groom's home in Heaven. We call this period the tribulation.)

He said that it was possible that something would occur during this party to cause the floor to shake and shift which would make all the people on the floor to fall or lose balance. (This shaking of the ship built in the ground when the Man-child comes, and the horse judgments are loosed beginning at the tribulation reminds us of the revelations that earthquakes in TN would separate this ship from the land around it, causing a deep abyss to open up around it like a cleft in the rock and then fill the abyss with water, making this refuge the Lord has likened to a Zion. Also, the covenant with many at the beginning of the tribulation could involve imposing a division of Israel's land for peace, in which case we have seen the results of these actions previously, and the results are always judgment on America. I believe the Lord has spoken that when America divides Israel, America will be divided. In other words, this could be the New Madrid and TN Valley separations.)

He gave me a long roll of a rubber material that had the texture and feel of skateboard grip tape to place in the very center of the deck, so that the people would have somewhere to stand and maintain their balance during the shaking. (The Lord will give stability to those who are friends, keeping the marriage feast on the bread and wine of the Word and life of Christ.) I grabbed the roll and some tar. I laid the tar down in the center of the deck and unrolled the material over it. When I was done, I was seeing if the material would give traction, and it did, but I was surprised how narrow the path was. It was only about 10-12 inches wide and 30 yards long. (Those on the narrow path will not lose their footing and stumble out of the way. If the people did not want to fall during the shaking, they would have to stand on this narrow strip; there were no other options. What stipulates the parameters of the narrow path? Obedience to God's Word, which His faithful friends will be. We have been shown that these shakings will cause many of the original landowners, including some Christians, to flee the area of the ship, leaving it to those who know they are called of God to be there.)

After this, I went home where my friend David H. and his younger brother were. I remember waking up in the morning and walking down the hallway and hearing an audible transmission in my ear! It was David Eells; he was speaking about the coming Man-child. I was so shocked that I could hear this in my head. I screamed to my friend David H. in the living room, “Hey, I hear David Eells in my ear!” (The gift of hearing the Spirit and message from the David Man-children is given to those who walk on the narrow path. This revelation was given before I was given a gift to speak to people or groups in the Spirit. Also, we believe this will be the timing of our messages going out in a much greater way through the airwaves.)

He was saying something about the sign of the man-child coming. He spoke about the Man-child mounting the horse being the sign to watch for. I feel that he said it was about to occur, but I cannot remember his exact words. All I know is that he said this was the sign. (I feel this means that the first-fruits will soon bring their flesh into complete submission.) (It reminded me of Revelation 6:1,2 when the first seal was broken and the rider was sent forth. It seems that the rider is now being mounted and being prepared to go out conquering. 1 And I saw when the Lamb opened one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, Come. 2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there wasgiven unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. The Man-child is about to ride the white horse, symbolizing his submitted flesh. This is who will lead the Bride in Zion, just as Moses, Joseph and David of old were types.)

That is when I began to fellowship with the two brothers in the living room. David H., having understanding about the Unleavened Bread, did not seem too interested in the sign to come, which was disheartening. (He could not hear the voice of the Spirit because he had no desire for the sign of submitted flesh.)Instead, he was on the floor playing with a toy car. It was a yellow and red '60s-style Corvette that had a Simpson's emblem on the hood. (A symbol of those who live a foolish, playboy life when judgment is coming for them. Yellow and red are warning colors, warning those who want to be a part of the first-fruits or Bride against a careless lifestyle.) Inside the car were cigarette packs and other paraphernalia that are evidence of a sinful life. (A symbol of receiving unclean breath or spirits). At that point I knew that David H. had been lying to me the whole time about his walk. (A false David intent on impressing men but not God.) I realized that he thought he was justified by his knowledge and did not need to live according to truth.

That is when I turned my attention to the younger brother. He was sitting in the chair across from mine. I began to tell him about the truth of grace. I went into a long explanation of how, when I got the revelation of what grace was, it changed my whole life. I told him most Christians believe grace just covers your disobedience and allows you a get-out-of-jail-free card. I told him that I once thought like that as well, but I still had the nagging sinful nature in my life. I explained that I finally came to the understanding that grace is the free gift of removing the sinful nature from us completely. It brings us to a place where we can be cut away from the flesh, not just to be content living with it. I began to really feel the anointing as I explained the difference between the two, and the youngster began to receive every word with joy. His eyes were gleaming and he said, “You are so smart!” I was encouraged by his vigor, but I had to quickly correct what he just said. I explained that it is not because of my smarts and intelligence that led me to the revelation; it was the Lord's grace. He got to see first-hand true grace in a believer's life: the unmerited gift of wisdom and truth. End of dream. (Many, because of their greasy grace doctrines, will not only miss being in the first-fruits, they will not even recognize those who are, as it was in Jesus' day and as it was with David H.)

Note: I have not seen or spoken to David H. in many years. To be honest, we weren't very close. I know the only reason the Lord used him in the dream was because of his name. In real life, David is not a believer, and I would venture to say he has no understanding of the Man-child. But in the dream, David H. considered himself in right standing because of the knowledge he had acquired through UBM, but he has yet to crucify the flesh. His knowledge did not help him overcome; it seemed he was just a cloud without rain. I feel he is the tare that has mingled himself among the David Ministry.

David Eells, on the other hand, represents in this dream the other segment of “Davids” in UBM, or the church as a whole. The ones with the true nature of the man-child. He had the gray hair, which to me represents wisdom and submission. Even though David H. knew that having gray hair was a condition of being in the Man-child, he did not want it. He did not want to submit his head (thoughts) to Christ. Due to his carelessness, he, being like Esau, the first-born, will lose his inheritance to the second-born. What the first-born threw away, the next in line will receive. (“Let no man take thy crown”. The second-born will step forward and take what the first-born despised by his actions.)

Although the younger brother was totally ignorant of any deep revelation, he was undefiled. He would make an excellent vessel which the Lord could use. It did not matter if he had no understanding; that is not what the Lord is looking for. He can give anyone understanding. What he wants are empty vessels to fill.

I have some thoughts on the boat deck where the party was to be held. During a great storm, standing on a boat deck is dangerous and sometimes impossible to keep your footing. I am reminded of times I have seen footage of sailors on fishing rigs during a huge storm -- they are falling and tenaciously holding onto the rails. This is what would occur during this party -- a great shaking; many will fail to keep standing unless they stand on the narrow path in the center of the deck. The boat was also built into the dirt, and I feel that this has something to do with the great shaking that is to occur. (The dirt and the flesh represent the same thing here. The flesh will be shaken, and the fearful and double-minded will fall away. The fault lines that form this ship in the ground will scare many away.) The earth will shake and cause the boat, or church, to shake. The farmer had invited his friends to a party, but they will be tried by shaking. (This comes with the coming of the Lord as scripture says.)

David and I had a talk about the boat, and why it was built on the ground. Although he did help me come to a better understanding, I was still questioning what the significance was. I knew it had to mean something. After we spoke, I was listening to a worship song, and in it the singer mentioned Noah. At that moment, the Lord spoke to me, “Just as it was in the days of Noah, so also will it be in the days of the Son of Man”. Then I realized that Noah built his boat on the ground, and many mocked because it had never rained before. I would bet that the boat I saw that was built on the ground looked just as out of place as Noah's ark! We know that the ark is a place of safety on the earth during the rain and during the flood and as the ark lifted off, just as Noah's ark was for his family and him.

History is about to repeat, but this time on a larger worldwide scale. As I write this, I am in awe of how the Lord hides these hidden treasures in dreams. Without his grace and revelation, I would never have seen the significance of the boat being built on the ground. (Since we received many more revelations concerning this refuge ship or ark, we now understand why this question about the ship in the ground was so significant in G. W.’s mind. It is truly going to be a preservation to the Bride and a place from which she can minister to the Church, as was Esther's circumstance.)

On September 30, I was given more on this dream:

Below is an excerpt of Michael Boldea's dream last year on October 29. It is on their website. I saw many things line up with my dream. He saw the preparations being made in a horse stable or barn for the sending forth of the riders on the horse. He said the building was white, pristine, and immaculate. That is exactly the way I saw this stable or barn when I walked through it in my dream. The building was so clean; all the walls were white and I was taken aback at how clean this barn was. Even the stables were neat and clean; they were empty, too. It looked like a germ-free environment, but not in the sense of a sterile laboratory; it still had that 'barn' feel. At the farm, the farmer was making many preparations and had many things going on. I saw servants running to and fro, doing many tasks in preparation for something big. It is also no coincidence that right after I left the farm I was given the word that the Man-child is mounting the horse!

Excerpt From Michael Boldea's dream 10/29/07:

I barely touched the hand that was extended toward me when my bed and my bedroom evaporated, and I found myself standing before a white, oblong building that looked a lot like a barn or a horse stable. Two large doors made up the front of the structure and as I looked, they began to swing open.

I knew wherever I was it was not of this earth, because everything shone; everything was white, pristine, immaculate.

I also knew that whatever the reason for being shown this was about to be revealed, so I stood in silence, holding the messenger's hand.

As soon as the doors were fully open, I saw an angel that looked very much like the one standing beside me, except without the armor, leading a white horse by its reins. The horse was large and muscular, but he followed the angel obediently with its head bent low. The angel's countenance was somber as he led the horse away, and for some reason this registered with great clarity. (Like Moses, the white horse rider looses all the other horse judgments upon the world.)

I looked up to the messenger whose hand I was still holding, but he merely nodded toward the white building and the open doors, and said, “Witness”.

Another angel soon appeared in the doorway, holding the reins of a red horse, following after the first. I began to realize what I was seeing, and in silence watched as two more angels appeared, each holding the reins of a horse: one black; one of no discernible color, just pale. All four angels were dressed alike, and had the same somber, sorrowful countenance.

I stood and watched as all four horses were led out of my sight, and finally when they had disappeared from view, the messenger turned to me and said, “Go and tell what you have seen. The riders prepare, the horses are ready, and soon they will descend; soon they will be loosed. Remember what you have witnessed, and do not hold back a single word. Soon they descend on wings of fury; soon turmoil will shake earth's very foundation.

Water of Death and Life

(Audio)

David Eells, 10/21/26

Many are Dying in Shallow Christianity

Bob Aicardi - 12/19/1999 (David's notes in red)

Many ministers actually do the work of the devil and the old man by taking the sword away from the saints that they need to conquer the old man. Because of this, the old, carnal man conquers the spiritual man who becomes “twice dead and plucked up by the roots”, as Jude said. One must be born again in order to be “twice dead.”

Bob says: In a dream, I was looking for a close friend who was in trouble. I called out to her with a sense of life-threatening urgency. I walked into an enclosed building and found a pool inside. As I approached the pool, I saw nothing but bodies floating face down. All who were in the pool were dead; no one in the building was alive. (The pool of apostate Christianity.)

I proceeded to the next door, which connected to a second building. Again, inside were corpses in the shallow end of the pool with living people in the deep end. (Again, some dead but some learning to live.)

A class of instruction was being conducted on “how to commit suicide” by what appeared to be religious leaders. I saw my friend taking instructions from the pastors, and she was preparing to end her life, like those who were already face down in the shallow end. (Shallow water of the Word Christianity.) I was angered, and I walked straight up to her, taking her face into my hand, gazing into her eyes, and saying, “Don't you want to follow Jesus?” I then said, “You are confused. This is not the way of Jesus”. Then I woke up.

Each pool represents the experience of the Word represented by water, as in Eph.5:26. Such is the life of believers in that particular sect or pool of Christianity. To spiritually die in the shallow waters is to not experience enough of the Word to bring death to the old man and life to the new man. The pastors who do not teach anything, but a popular, flesh-pleasing word are killing God's people at the hands of the devil and their own flesh. Come out from among them and find the Words of Life, or you will die with them.

(Joh.6:66)(notice the number 666) Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. (Many do this.) (67) Jesus said therefore unto the twelve, Would ye also go away? (68) Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

As with Bob's dream, I had one many years ago where the preachers were killing Christians, who were face down in the water of the Word.

 

Carnal Ministers Killing with the Word

David Eells

In a night vision, I found myself in front of a large church. I walked through the front door, and standing in the foyer was an “old man” in a suit. I avoided this old man as if he were a rattlesnake and went into the sanctuary, so-called. I saw a large double sink, full of water. In the water were babies; they were face down and most were dead. I quickly went to the sink, picked up a baby, and held him up in the air. He spoke to me, saying, “Thank God, I knew He was going to send someone”.

Interpretation: I was made to know that there are many carnal ministers like the old man in Eph.4:22; Col.3:9,10, who are trying to wash up the people of God, the babies in the sink. They are using the letter of the Word or water in Eph.5:26, and are instead killing them. (2Co.3:6) who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. The letter of the Law that is taught by the Pharisees of today gets our eyes on our own earthly ability or inability, face down to the earth. Many are they that sit under the condemnation of the Law, which is a powerless false gospel, only to give up in their failure to please God and go back into the world or die on a church pew. We cannot pick ourselves up by our bootstraps or be saved by our own self-will. This is an understanding that is from the earth, face down. Seeking this is to be “ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth” that sets free.

Jesus purposely spoke in parables so that only those who have eyes to see and ears to hear the heavenly things would understand as in Mat.13:10-14. These seek a knowledge that is born from above or face up on Jesus. (Mat.16:17) And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-Jonah: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven. As always, those whose understanding is “face up” will be fought by those whose understanding is “face down”. The good news of the promises is the power of God given freely to save the one who believes as Rom.1:16 says. These promises get our eyes on God's ability and provision or face up. These promises give faith as in Rom.10:17. This causes us to receive grace as in Eph.2:8, in order to have the power to live the joyful Christian life and cease from our own works.

 

Rivers of Living Waters

V. W.- 10/11/2016 (David's notes in red)

I dreamed I was walking around on David and Michael's property, in front of their house (which is on top of Sonshine Mountain). As I did this, I said, “God keeps giving water here”. I knew it was under the ground and sensed it was a hot spring. (The mountain represents Zion or the New Jerusalem, which is spring-fed. The Gihon Spring was the only source of water for the city of Jerusalem. Jesus, the Man-child of David, said His words were Spirit and life. He said in (Joh.7:38) He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water. Zion is where the true Word of the Lord comes from. (Isa.2:3) And many peoples shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.) I was marveling about this and was amazed. Then I woke up.

I asked the Lord why “He keeps giving water there” and received by faith at random (Eze.34:8) As I live, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely forasmuch as my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the beasts of the field, because there was no shepherd, neither did my shepherds search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and fed not my sheep (This is the reason God is bringing the Living Waters, because the shepherds feed not the sheep, and the water they do give them does not give them life. They preach the ‘dead letter of the Word’, which brings death.); (9) therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah: (10) Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them. (He will deliver His people from these shallow water plunderers. (Isa.56:11) Yea, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds that cannot understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter. God said He will take the talent away from the one who hid it in the earth, meaning used it for the flesh, and give it to him who has 10.)

(11) For thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. (12) As a shepherd seeketh out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day. (He will seek out the lost sheep to bring them home.)

(13) And I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains (or Heavenly places) of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country. (14) I will feed them with good pasture; and upon the mountains of the height of Israel shall their fold be: there shall they lie down in a good fold; and on fat pasture shall they feed upon the mountains of Israel. Like Jesus, Who is our example, He will feed the sheep on the best pasture, and they will be excited.

(15) I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep (Jesus is coming and the Pharisees won't believe it this time either), and I will cause them to lie down (rest from their own works), saith the Lord Jehovah. (16) I will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away (Exo.2:16) Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters (the seven churches): and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock. (17) And the shepherds came and drove them away; (from the water of life) but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock. And so it will be.)

and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick: but the fat (Ie: with flesh) and the strong I will destroy; I will feed them in justice. (The Lord will dispense justice to the fleshly leaders who exercise fleshly authority over His flock as the Pharisees did.) (17) And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the he-goats. The rams are Bighorn Sheep, who are leaders. These are differentiated here from the leaders who are he-goats. These are called Judas goats who lead the sheep to slaughter.

(18) Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have fed upon the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? and to have drunk of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue with your feet? (The evil walk of the shepherds gives permission to the sheep because of misplaced respect to disobey the Word. The sheep follow in their steps and not the steps of Jesus. These shepherds won't preach against their own sin, so the Word becomes perverted.) (19) And as for my sheep, they eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which ye have fouled with your feet.

(20) Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto them: Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. (Between those full of flesh and those who are not.) (21) Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, till ye have scattered them abroad (Competitive, jealous, egotistical, self-willed shepherds run off the sheep.); (22) therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep. (Again, this is the reason God is bringing the Living Waters to those sheep who hunger and thirst after righteousness.)

(23) And I will set up one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall be their shepherd. (24) And I, Jehovah, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them; I, Jehovah, have spoken it. (The Davids are coming, through whom God will feed His people.) (25) And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land (He is already doing this on a political and religious basis. When you preach the truth the evil beasts flee.); and they shall dwell securely in the wilderness (tribulation), and sleep in the woods. (They will rest in faith and not in religious works.)

(26) And I will make them and the places round about my hill a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; there shall be showers of blessing. (The outpouring of the Spirit.) (27) And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield its increase, and they shall be secure in their land (the Promised Land or land of the promises will yield fruit); and they shall know that I (meaning the real Jesus) am Jehovah, when I have broken the bars of their yoke (released them from bondage), and have delivered them out of the hand of those that made bondmen of them. (Delivered them from the false shepherds.)

(28) And they shall no more be a prey to the nations (the beasts of the field or world empires), neither shall the beasts of the earth devour them; but they shall dwell securely, and none shall make them afraid. (Perfect love will cast out all fear.) (29) And I will raise up unto them a plantation for renown (a perfect farm and harvest), and they shall be no more consumed with famine in the land, neither bear the shame of the nations any more. (They will no more starve for the Word or be shamed because of apostasy.) (30) And they shall know that I, Jehovah, their God am with them (Emanuel), and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord Jehovah. (31) And ye my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord Jehovah.

I think it is interesting that I asked the Father why He keeps giving water there and He said, “Because My sheep have become a prey”, and He answered, “Because My shepherds have not searched for (and healed and fed) My sheep”.

I also thought of this scripture: (Isa.41:18) I will open rivers on the bare heights, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

 

The Shaking, Water & Revival

Bill Steenland - 04/03/2015 (David's notes in red)

(This dream seems to be a preparation for the Tribulation wilderness. I am expecting much more from the Lord on this dream.) Bill said: I had this dream one of the first nights I stayed in TN. It was very, very intense. I dreamed I was greeting my brother at a barn (A fruit gathering). (I.e.-The place and time of the Harvest.)

I was standing in front of the barn doors as my brother walked to me after getting out of a white car. He was wearing a white dress shirt and a pair of brown dress pants. (White shirt represents faith in imputed righteousness. Brown pants represent a measure of walking in the manifestation.) I gave him a hug, and we walked into the barn to meet David. We walked into a large room with an empty table. (Harvest not gathered yet.) The table was huge -- the kind you have a feast at, but it was empty. (Representing the preparation for the coming Feast of Harvest [Exodus 23:16] / Feast of Weeks or Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out. In type, the Lord will come as the latter rain on the morning of the third day, where we are now -- Hosea 6:1-3.)

(Mat.24:45) Who then is the faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath set over his household, to give them their food in due season? (The season of the Feast of Harvest or Pentecost is coming.) (46) Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing. (47) Verily I say unto you, that he will set him over all that he hath. (Jesus in the Man-child will be set over the Kingdom of God on Earth.) (Jer.3:17) At that time they shall call Jerusalem the throne of Jehovah; and all the nations shall be gathered unto it (This gathering from all nations happened on the Feast of Harvest or Pentecost and the Holy Spirit was poured out on them.), to the name of Jehovah, to Jerusalem: neither shall they walk any more after the stubbornness of their evil heart.

David was at one end of the table. I don't remember anything that was said. When we left, he was no longer at the end of the table but at the other end, right next to us. I said to my brother, Jimmy, “Okay. Let's go meet Michael Hare!” Strangely, I don't think I had met Michael yet in the dream. (Perhaps this is a sign he will be quite different in a good way when Jimmy comes.) We were instantly at Michael Hare's house. He was praying over his wife's feet (walk) as she was lying down on a couch (meaning praying for her to walk correctly with the Lord). He was leaning over her, as if to cover her feet with his chest. (Michael's righteousness being a covering, as he believes for his physical and spiritual wife -- those who receive of his seed of the Word.) (1Co.7:14) For the unbelieving husband is sanctified in the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified in the brother: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

Then the dream changed and I was on a huge boat. (The Ark of Christ. And our ark-shaped refuge.) (1Pe.3:18) Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; (19) in which also he(Jesus in the Man-child through death to self) went and preached unto the spirits in prison, (20) that aforetime were disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing (to lift off in the flood of tribulation and day of the Lord.), wherein few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water: (8 is the number of Jesus and circumcision of the flesh) (21) which also after a true likeness doth now save you, even baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ; (22) who is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

I saw a brother appearing and reappearing. He was speaking to me and trying to encourage me. He was saying, “Don't you worry, brother. You're going to be fine. Just trust in God and keep believing”. Stuff like that. Then, after appearing and reappearing a couple of times, he was gone. I looked to my right and the water was very fierce (fierce trials -- fulfilled) and there were huge swells. I could tell the water had come suddenly from somewhere, and everything was going in one direction. (Note: Although this is a spiritual exhortation, all the water in this dream could be physical as well because of all the dams and water around here; after the shaking comes, we could be living in a very different-looking place.) (Above the flood as it was with Noah.)

(This is true: We received this revelation years ago that a dam at the head of the dragon (a dragon-shaped road) would spew forth waters, but the fault lines would open up at the same time and swallow the water to save the ark-shaped refuge: (Rev.12:14) And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent. (15) And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. (16) And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth and swallowed up the river which the dragon cast out of his mouth. This could symbolize the TN Valley quakes, which come after the New Madrid quakes.)

There was a huge swell that came to the boat about 15-25 feet high. It wasn't a wave; it was a swell. I thought for sure it would totally just knock the boat over like a toy in a pool. But the water was just totally subdued, and the boat went right over the water. (Casting down strongholds and every high thing. (2Co.10:3) For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh (4) (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), (5) casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.... Satan, the Dragon, and his demons send their words to wash away what God has done in His people and to try to get them to be failures in their trials by receiving his words. (Rev.12:15) And the serpent cast out of his mouth after the woman water as a river, that he might cause her to be carried away by the stream. This is something we deal with in a trial, when we are holding on “to be delivered,” like in the previous texts of Revelation 12. Every time we get delivered, we give birth to more and more of Jesus.

I thought to myself, Thank God Almighty! Praise God! Oh, My God! I was sitting on a metal bench this whole time, clutching it with my hands (holding fast to the rest) as hard as I could. (Resting from our own works through faith in God's promises. (Heb.4:1) Let us fear therefore, lest haply, a promise being left of entering into his rest, any one of you should seem to have come short of it. (3) For we who have believed do enter into that rest; even as he hath said, As I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. ... (9) There remaineth therefore a sabbath rest for the people of God. (10) For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.)

Then, I was totally amazed as the boat lifted off the water and into the air. It then turned totally upside down! (Ark/refuge people enter the Heavenly realm; i.e., their actions are ruled by the Word and not the world. (Eph.1:3) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ.... Upside down is a term that can mean “complete opposite.” To us, this means opposite to the ways of the world or the earthly.) I was holding onto the seat (meaning his rest), still in an upright position. But now I had two red cords that were holding me in. (Isa.33:20) Look upon Zion, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tent that shall not be removed, the stakes whereof shall never be plucked up, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken.

They were both in the crease of my elbows as I had my hands to my chest. I can't fully remember how this worked out because I remember holding onto the bench and also the red cords holding me as I held my hands to my chest while holding on. As the boat was totally upside down, I said to myself, with my eyes closed, Oh, my God. I hope this boat is high enough off the water; otherwise, my face could be hit with one of those little swells that are moving all over. I was bracing for that contingency in my mind and holding on stronger and stronger, still upside down. (The temptation is to not rest but to take things into our own hands or works.) The boat then turned right-side up and back down on the water. (The trial is over as things return to normal.)

I opened my eyes and I was no longer out on the water. (Amen. I saw the light) I was in a store in the middle of a shopping mall (all needs supplied). (Php.4:19) And my God shall supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. I saw a couple of people walking around at a fast pace. They looked like they just got their whole world rocked in a matter of 30 seconds. Note that this whole ordeal out on the boat was very real and very short. The people were so rattled and confused. I was still on the boat, sitting there in total amazement. I knew in the dream that the “shaking” had just taken place (along with the waters it will send).

(Heb.12:25) See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not when they refused him that warned them on earth, much more shall not we escape who turn away from him that warneth from heaven: (26) whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more will I make to tremble not the earth only, but also the heaven. (27) And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain. (28) Wherefore, receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us have grace, whereby we may offer service well-pleasing to God with reverence and awe: (29) for our God is a consuming fire.

I have been sitting on this dream for almost two years now. I knew in my heart that my brother would be in TN, just like in this dream; it could be a timing issue. I have been firmly believing for my brother for years now and the Lord has been so faithful to answer. (As He will for our loved ones) I just went through a trial concerning him recently. He was asking for $800 to pay his rent because he doesn't have much work. The truth is, he has had a drug problem and has been doing drugs since he was 12 years old. It was so bad that, before I moved to my dad's house after I got born again that I separated from him. We fought so much, and he would lie to my face about being on drugs. I knew he was still on them when he asked me for the money, so I wouldn't give it to him. He was going to be homeless and it was totally breaking my heart. We have been through so much together, and it was hurting me that I couldn't help him. But I knew the Lord didn't want me to do it. (We all have loved ones who seek their peace in the ways of the world, but as we hold to our faith, they will learn from their tribulations.)

About three days before he was going to be evicted (March 28, 2015), he ended up getting a job and a place to stay, all in one. There is a young couple who have a dance shoe business and needed him to do inventory work. Well, they are sending him to Pigeon Forge on May 21, which is not far from me, for four days! (The answer to prayer. The last day is Pentecost.) When he told me, I couldn't believe it. I counted down till then, and it's 49 days. Well, I'm not a date-setter; this dream was a serious thing for me, and it still is. It's crunch time.

(On this day that I am putting my notes in this dream is the first day of the counting of the Omer. This day is the second full day of Unleavened Bread and Passover, from whence we count 49 days to the Feast of Harvest or Pentecost, the 50th day. This is when, historically, the Holy Spirit revival of the Joel 2 promise of restoration from all things concerning the curse started as the former rain, a type of the latter rain. Saints, endure your trials of faith to see deliverance from the curse at the latter rain outpouring. We have learned from previous dreams that the earthquakes mentioned above would bring the revival. Now we see from this dream that the shaking will bring the restoration and revival. This was when Mordecai, a type of the first-fruits, stood before the natural king of kings and received Haman's ring, and Haman, the leadership of the unrepentant faction to destroy the Man-child/Bride/Jews, officially loses his life, hanged like Judas. The 49 days are said to be days of repentance leading to Pentecost. After the days of Passover and Unleavened Bread, the Man-child Moses led the people to their baptism in the sea and cloud, which was the death of their enemies who chased them, and their baptism in the Holy Spirit before going into the wilderness tribulation. This could be a sign for our year of restoration. I asked the Lord if this dream was a sign of something to come and got “yes” twice.)

More on the counting of the Omer

Other verses we received by faith at random at the time I received this dream and entered my notes spoke of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the nations. What are the chances of that?

(Act.15:6-9) And the apostles and the elders were gathered together to consider of this matter. (7) And when there had been much questioning, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Brethren, ye know that a good while ago God made choice among you, that by my mouth the Gentiles (Greek: goyim; meaning all nations except the Jews. We are told that when the fullness of the nations [of the elect] come in, God will turn to the Jews again.) the Gentiles should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. (8) And God, who knoweth the heart, bare them witness, giving them the Holy Spirit, even as he did unto us; (9) and he made no distinction between us and them, cleansing their hearts by faith.

(Act.11:15-18) And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell on them, even as on us at the beginning. (16) And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized in the Holy Spirit. (17) If then God gave unto them the like gift as he did also unto us, when we believed on the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I, that I could withstand God? (18) And when they heard these things, they held their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then to the Gentiles (nations) also hath God granted repentance unto life.

The next morning, we received (Act.13:47) For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set thee for a light of the Gentiles (nations), That thou shouldest be for salvation unto the uttermost part of the earth. (48) And as the Gentiles (the nations) heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of God: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed.

This time God will pour out His Spirit on the Jews for the most part they are the unbelievers.

 

Greatest Display of His Glory Is Soon Coming!

Prophecy - Bobbie Brown - 04/04/2015

My Son came as a perfect representation of My glory, carried My glory in His bodily form. Now, child, many sons are coming who shall carry in themselves the same glory He carried. The same Spirit of grace shall and has illuminated them, filling them with the same light He carried. They are light-bearers of grace and truth that no darkness can quench or overcome. They will walk in this last hour with the same royal dignity He carried, the scepter of righteousness that rules and governs their every thought and action. They shall decide by the hearing of My voice, led by My Spirit of truth and grace. They are prepared, awaiting their hour. They know not their radiance and how they display My glory. Yes, child, they are humble before Me and that's how My glory is displayed through them. I cannot use a haughty and high-lifted-up by ‘self’ vessel. It shall not be, cannot be, has never been. Only those humble enough to seek My face and call out to Me to change them and redeem them from their own fleshly desires shall carry and display My glory to this dark world they live and walk in.

Soon, child, you shall see and know and be aware all I have spoken is truth as you see it displayed and lived out before your eyes. I am weary of withholding Myself from what is rightfully Mine and belongs to Me. I long for My creation to be restored to its former glory and rightness. I am weary of the sinful nature that permeates My creation. It sickens Me to see what I created being a display of his glory, his putrid glory of darkness. Darkness brings him glory and, if possible, he would cover all with his putrid darkness, consuming it and using it to raise him to heights of glory that he's sought after all these ages, using My creation to do it. But I SAY it shall not be so! His days are numbered and his time is predetermined by Me. I use him, I allow him for My purposes. He is like a dog on a chain who thinks he can win and defeat Me, but the chain is in My hand and soon he shall be bound as the chains wrap around him and take him to his appointed place for all time. Watch, child. Wait and you shall see it all, for its soon appearing is already on the horizon, ready to burst forth at My command. And I Am weary of withholding Myself. All creation sings and groans the song of deliverance. Can you hear it? I hear it, and My heart is moved to answer it. Yes, child. Soon.

Note from David: Pray for revival.

Things That Hinder the Bride's Maturity(Audio)David Eells - 10/18/2026 (recorded 7/10/22)Satan Reads Minds & Inserts Thoughts

David Eells

I was asked this question: Can you substantiate in Scripture where it is written that Satan can put thoughts into our minds?

My answer was: In order for Satan to put thoughts into our mind he would also have to be able to read our minds. I will try to explain this in a moment but first you might want to entertain another question: Can anyone substantiate with Scripture that Satan cannot put thoughts into our mind or read our mind? Since we can't do this then we shouldn't believe it because it is not Scriptural.

(1Ch.28:9)... The Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts... In the spirit realm thoughts are audible to the mind of God and demons. God and demons can in turn impart the gift to read minds. I have read the thoughts of men by the Holy Spirit. A man once asked me if I knew what he was thinking. At that moment the Holy Spirit gave it to me and for several minutes the man was awed at the power of God. 

Also when I first went to a full gospel Church I witnessed Christians exorcising a demon-possessed man who thought he was a woman. He also demonstrated the ability to read minds when the unbelieving Christians asked for a demonstration. He did say that it was easier to read the mind of one person there and pointed to the only person there who was not filled with the Spirit even though he did not know anyone there. Familiar spirits or spirits of divination in magicians, wizards, mediums, etc. have demonstrated the power to read minds in front of audiences of people.

We wrestle with principalities and powers in the mind. {Eph.6:11} Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. {12} For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual [hosts] of wickedness in the heavenly [places].... {17} And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. We see here that with the renewed mind of the Word our thoughts are guarded as with a helmet because we wont accept foreign thoughts.

We are then able to take back our thoughts and cast the enemy's thoughts down. {2Co.10:3} For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh {4} (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds), (The principalities and powers hold the strongholds in the thoughts of the mind.) {5} casting down imaginations (thoughts), and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. We win the battle by rejecting the enemy's thoughts and replacing them with God's thoughts.

We are at peace with God when we are full of His thoughts and our minds are guarded from the demonic attacks that cause outward actions of sin. {Php.4:6,7} In nothing be anxious; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Satan is able to insert thoughts within our thoughts. {Act.5:3} But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thy heart to lie to the Holy Spirit, and to keep back [part] of the price of the land? 

{1Ch.21:1} And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel. Now here we can use a little Holy Spirit reasoning. How could Satan insert thoughts unless he knows the context of your thought? If you went into your computer to edit a program, how could you insert the right codes unless you could read the context of the computer's program? If you just inserted a code anywhere without knowing the program you would make a nonsensical statement and anyone would know that someone inserted something that was out of place. So it is with us. If Satan or demons inserted something nonsensical into our thoughts then everyone would know that they are at work. They do their best work undercover and they know it. How would Satan be able to tempt us if he was so dysfunctional? We would know it was him immediately. How then would it be temptation?

Now here is the really important thing. Our battle does not depend on whether the enemy can read our mind or not. It depends on what he can do about what we know. When we read Job we clearly see that God has put restrictions on the Satan's ambitions for Job. Satan has to obey God’s rules of engagement even when he knows what we think. Satan admits he did not have the power to get at Job because of God's hedge and the same is true of us. (Job.1:9) Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God for naught? (10) Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land. 

It is not important for our thoughts to be hidden from the enemy when he can do nothing about them. And he can do nothing about our thoughts unless by them we give him permission for we have authority over him. {Luk.10:19} Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. {20} Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. It doesn't matter what the demons know that we know for as sons of God we are their lords just as it was with Jesus. {Joh.20:21} Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you. {Mat.18:18} Verily I say unto you, what things soever ye shall bind (forbid) on earth shall be bound (forbidden) in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose (permit) on earth shall be loosed (permitted) in heaven.

Faith permits the sovereignty of God to be manifest through the body of Christ and forbids Satan no matter what he knows of our thoughts. Jesus' condition for receiving His benefits are plain: "As thou hast believed, [so] be it done unto thee" and "According to your faith be it done unto you" and "Thy faith hath made thee whole". As we believe, God's benefits will be given. Unbelieving thoughts and actions forbid God's benefits to us because He has made a condition and He cannot lie. 

Unbelief permits Satan to continue administering the curse. (Mk.6:5) And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. (6) And he marvelled because of their unbelief. Even Jesus was forbidden to do mighty works for those who would not believe. Whether we know it or not, we are constantly forbidding or permitting Satan, demons, and God’s angels by our thoughts, words and actions. Since all authority in heaven and earth was given to Jesus and He in turn delegated it to disciples, where does Satan get his authority? He gets it from our unbelief, words and disobedience.

Adding to or taking from God's Word in thought and deed permits the curse by Satan and forbids God's blessings for us or through us. This is by God's design to motivate us to come into agreement with Him. (Rev.22:18) I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, if any man shall add unto them, God shall add unto him the plagues which are written in this book (19) and if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the tree of life, and out of the holy city, which are written in this book. So in coming into agreement with God we forbid Satan to administer the curse to us.

So to win this battle we have to cast down the thoughts of Satan that are sent to get us to give him permission to destroy us. 2Co 10:3-5  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh  4  (for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but mighty before God to the casting down of strongholds),  5  casting down imaginations, and every high thing that is exalted against the knowledge of God, and bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.

Many think that the reason God gives the gift of tongues is so that Satan cannot understand what we say to God and his purposes will be thwarted. This is false. Satan and his fallen angels are much smarter than Christians give them credit. They certainly know the "tongues of men and of angels" or they couldn't communicate with one another and put thoughts in our heads. {1Co.13:1} If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. 

When prophecy is uttered in one's own language the mind, doctrine and desires are permitted to be involved in what is said and the Word is polluted as 1 Cor. 13 says, "for we know in part, and we prophesy in part". In other words, the Prophecy can be part God and part man. However, the reason we speak with tongues is so that WE will not know what we are saying and will have no carnal reason to change it. In this way it will be a pure Word of the Spirit. {Rom.8:26} And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for [us] with groanings which cannot be uttered (by man); {27} and he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to [the will of] God.

Satan finds it easier to conquer us when we are distracted by vain things that have no eternal value.

 

The Immature and Distracted Will Miss the Bride

Joe Brits - 6/26/22 (David’s notes in red)

Just after the meeting this morning, Father gave me this dream: (Joe is being represented as the Man-child in this dream because of his name, Joseph, which means, “Jehovah has added”. Joseph was a very clear type of Jesus, the Man-child, in the Old Testament.) I was sitting in a bus with a bunch of people who were with me. (I believe that this bus represents the larger UBM bus that we have seen in many dreams.) 

A very pretty lady, who’s name means, “Wished-for child” in her early 20’s was sitting to my left. (She represents the Bride body who wishes and longs for the fruit of Jesus to be born in her.) I knew a brother whose name means, “Noble" was there too, but I could not see him. (Representing the Spirit of Jesus in the Man-child reformers. Jesus said to His disciples, “You are my brethren…") 

The bus pulled away and the very pretty lady said to me, “Our sister is still outside”. I looked and saw that the sister, whose name means, “Youthful”, was busy on her cell phone. (This youthful sister represents the “little sister” of the Bride spoken of in Song 8:8-9. Like in Esther, The immature are not ready to be with the Bride and will miss the corporate bus because of distractions.)  

I could not see her face because she was looking in another direction. (They are not focused on sanctification and the more important things of the Kingdom, hence they are looking in another direction.) I said to the very pretty lady, "We will see her again”, and I put my left arm around her to reassure her. She put both her arms around me while we drove away. (Representing the Agape Love of the Bride and Man-child.) End of dream. (The Bride will cling to the Man-child as they enter the wilderness tribulation together.)

I asked the Lord for a verse by faith at random for the "very pretty lady”   and I got: Mar 9:13  But I say unto you, that Elijah is come, and they have also done unto him whatsoever they would, even as it is written of him. (This verse is speaking of John the Baptist who preceded and prepared the way for the Man-child, Jesus, in the Spirit of Elijah. Since the Man-child is born out of the Bride, then, in a type, the First Fruits Elijahs of the Bride Body will make way for the coming of Jesus in Man-child reformers in our day.)

I asked the Lord for a verse by faith at random for: the “youthful" cell phone lady and I got:  Zec 1:6  But my words and my statutes, which I commanded my servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? and they turned and said, Like as Jehovah of hosts thought to do unto us, according to our ways, and according to our doings, so hath he dealt with us. (The more we pay attention to God and His Word the sooner we will mature and come out of trouble. Psa 81:13-14  Oh that my people would hearken unto me, That Israel would walk in my ways!  14  I would soon subdue their enemies, And turn my hand against their adversaries.)

 

 Bondages Make Victims

Anonymous - 6/27/22 (David’s notes in red)

The dream started with me walking past a birdcage that looked like the one I have in real life. (The cage represents bondage that would keep us from escaping.) In the birdcage I saw a large black snake about 2 inches thick with something in its mouth. (The snake in the birdcage with the bird in its mouth is a warning of the enemy trying to swallow us up in their witchcraft prayers against us. Me must pray and intercede against their schemes and attacks. 

Psa. 56:1-6 Be merciful unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: All the day long he fighting oppresseth me. 2 Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; For they are many that fight proudly against me. 3 What time I am afraid, I will put my trust in thee. 4 In God (I will praise his word), In God have I put my trust, I will not be afraid; What can flesh do unto me? 5 All the day long they wrest my words: All their thoughts are against me for evil. 6 They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, They mark my steps, Even as they have waited for my soul.) 

Then, next to the birdcage, out of the bushes, came a second yellow snake with a few thin gray stripes about the same size as the black snake. (The color yellow represents fear and cowardice and the grey stripes represent death. The faction are cowards who back bite and attack behind our backs in darkness. Psa 11:2 For, lo, the wicked bend the bow, They make ready their arrow upon the string, That they may shoot in darkness at the upright in heart. And Psa. 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. Through Satan’s accusers comes much distraction and temptations such as Jesus, Joseph and David had to endure.)

The snake came moving towards me. The next moment it turned around and then turned back in my direction and struck at me. (These deceivers feign and manipulate but cannot be trusted.) I tried to defend the strike with my hands. Then I woke up. I started praying in tongues, and got peace after a while. (The second snake part of the dream is explaining the first part. We are the bird. But we are delivered out of the power of darkness so we should bind these demons and pray it down.)

I received a word by faith at random for this dream: Jer 30:20  Their children also shall be as aforetime, and their congregation shall be established before me; and I will punish all that oppress them. (God is going to punish these snakes who are continually persecuting and oppressing the righteous.)

 

Spirit of Legalism Trying to Kill the Body

Winnie Osegueda - 6/30/22 (David’s notes in red)

I dreamt that I was at my mother's apartment on the second floor of the apartment building. (The Mother Church that we are born out of.) While I was there, I had a vision of a man in a black hoodie with a knife attempting to enter and come after me to kill me. (As we will see, this man in black represents a spirit of Legalism which is often in the apostate mother Church and tries to steal our liberty in Christ to kill us spiritually. Gal. 5:4 Ye are severed from Christ, ye who would be justified by the law; ye are fallen away from grace.) 

Because I had this vision, I was aware he was coming. I opened the door and could see down the steps that the man was coming into the entrance of the apartment building on the first floor. (The first floor represents our flesh nature which is closest to the earth. This is where the spirit of Legalism gains entrance. 1 Co 15:46-49 Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven. 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.) I quickly ran out and left my phone behind. (Fear and legalism will sever our communications with the Holy Spirit represented by the cell phone.) 

I ran up the stairs to the neighbor Wanda's house on the top third floor of the building. (Wanda means, "shepherdess; wanderer”. Jud 1:10-13 But these rail at whatsoever things they know not: and what they understand naturally, like the creatures without reason, in these things are they destroyed. 11 Woe unto them! For they went in the way of Cain, and ran riotously in the error of Balaam for hire, and perished in the gainsaying of Korah. 12 These are they who are hidden rocks in your love-feasts when they feast with you, shepherds that without fear feed themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn leaves without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 13 Wild waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved forever.)

I began to knock on Wanda's door to let me in; telling her that there was a man in the building with a knife coming after me. The knife the man had was straight, but curved downward at the tip with two very sharp points, shaped like an upside down letter U. It looked almost like a gutting knife. Wanda finally opened the door. We closed the door and I told her about the man with the black hoodie in the building. I told her to keep it down because she was making a lot of noise, kind of stomping and jumping a little bit, freaking out, and I didn't want the man to hear us. 

All of a sudden I realized that on the left side of Wanda's apartment, where the kitchen is supposed to be was a large glass wall and sliding door. The man was right outside the sliding doors entering into the apartment. (Job 3:25 For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me. ) Even though I had left my phone in my mom's apartment on the second floor, I somehow had a phone in my hand, and I attempted to dial 911. (Psa 118:5-6 Out of my distress I called upon Jehovah: Jehovah answered me and set me in a large place. 6 Jehovah is on my side; I will not fear: What can man do unto me?) 

Wanda told me that she didn't think it was a good idea for me to call the police because her friend Don didn't agree with calling the police, but I called anyway. (Donald means, “World ruler”. Satan is the god of this world and doesn’t want us calling on Jesus to save us out of our situations. He wants to trick us into relying on legalism and self justification for our salvation.) I saw the man bring up the knife towards Wanda and he forced her to get into his car. (If we don’t fight the spirit of Legalism he will destroy us and take us away from our Savior.)

I now looked over to the right of the apartment building, and the wall was gone and there was now a large opening. So I left the apartment as I was dialing 911. (We must leave the unsanctified apartment by staying in touch with the Holy Spirit who leads and guides us.) I told the police the street that I was on so that they would find me. In the meantime, I decided to hide inside a restaurant that was kind of like a diner which was on the other side of the street. (This restaurant represents the safety we have when we abide in Christ who is the Bread of Life.) 

I went inside the restaurant and entered the women's restroom. (The restroom represents the process of sanctification where we rid ourselves of the spiritual waste of the flesh nature.) There were a lot of different women in there and I told them about this man in the black hoodie. All of a sudden, the women pulled out their own knives similar to the knife that the man with the hoodie had, except the handle was white, and they stepped outside to confront this man and fight him. (A multi gifted Church body is a great help to defend us from our enemies. We must fight off legalism with the sword of the Word so that he will not separate us from Christ or one another. Psa. 118:7-8  Jehovah is on my side among them that help me: Therefore shall I see my desire upon them that hate me. 8 It is better to take refuge in Jehovah than to put confidence in man.)

As they marched out of the diner, they marched towards the right and they began to sing very loudly. (Like the praisers in Jehoshaphat's Army that defeated Israel’s enemies.) Then I woke up very suddenly. I don't remember what the women were singing, but when I woke up, the song that was playing loudly in my spirit was a song that we sing sometimes at our meetings:

Ah, Lord God, Thou has made the heavens
And the earth by thy great power
Ah, Lord God, Thou has made the heavens
And the earth by Thine out - stretched arm

Nothing is too difficult for Thee
Nothing is too difficult for Thee
Great and mighty God
Great in counsel and mighty in deed 
Nothing, nothing, absolutely nothing
Nothing is too difficult for Thee 

I asked the Lord for a few verses by faith at random and received:

 

Psalm 118:14 (14-19 for context) The Lord is my strength and song; And he is become my salvation. 15 The voice of rejoicing and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: The right hand of the Lord doeth valiantly. 16 The right hand of Jehovah is exalted: The right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly. 17 I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of the Lord. 18 The Lord hath chastened me sore; But he hath not given me over unto death.  19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them, I will give thanks unto the Lord.

Isaiah 26:4 (2-7 in context) Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth faith may enter in. 3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee; because he trusteth in thee. 4 Trust ye in the Lord for ever; for in the Lord, even the Lord, is an everlasting rock. 5 For he hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city: he layeth it low, he layeth it low even to the ground; he bringeth it even to the dust. 6 The foot shall tread it down; even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy. 7 The way of the just is uprightness: thou that art upright dost direct the path of the just.

Romans 4:21 (19-25 for context) And without being weakened in faith he considered his own body now as good as dead (he being about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb; 20 yet, looking unto the promise of God, he wavered not through unbelief, but waxed strong through faith, giving glory to God, 21 and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was able also to perform. 22 Wherefore also it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. 23 Now it was not written for his sake alone, that it was reckoned unto him; 24 but for our sake also, unto whom it shall be reckoned, who believe on him that raised Jesus our Lord from the dead, 25 who was delivered up for our trespasses, and was raised for our justification.

 

Strive to be Free

Debbie Fenske - 6/27/22 (David’s notes in red)

Just before the evening meeting I felt I just needed to lay down and shut my eyes for a while. I did, and I began praying for our meeting. As I paused, I heard the Lord speak the word, “Liberated.” I prayed in the Spirit for only a couple moments, and then I heard the Lord say, “Strive to be liberated from all of this world’s hold on you. I desire liberation for you. How I desire that all of My people desire liberation from this world. But so many hearts are not set on Me. They are bound to this world, and everything that they allow it to offer them. This world which is only a ball of matter that offers to My people nothing that matters, will soon be going down, and they will go down with it.”

It was hard to hear the Lord say that. I heard a cry in His heart for His people who are so deceived and so captured by the strength of this world and all the false securities it offers them. I felt a strong sob coming up from deep in my belly, and I had to sit up on the edge of my bed and let out these great sobs, with tears. 

I told Him that we so often read about His strong wrath but His mercy, peace, consolation, and Joy should also be remembered. He allowed me to feel just a tiny part of His grieving heart for His children because He knows that His grief will turn to strong wrath. He knows He will have to pour this out on those who have desired their own way; bondage to this world rather than receiving His liberation from it. (This is like the bird in the cage who was swallowed by the snake in the dream above.)

 

We Must Lay Down Our Idols

Marie Kelton - 3/26/22 (David’s notes in red)

I was asking the Lord one day to send me a husband, but only when I was ready for one. Today, while I was at work, I heard the Lord say, “Why don't you lay it down?" Then the Lord gave me an open vision of Him sitting on a throne. He was wearing all white and was really huge. All I could see was his legs and His sandals. I saw myself place a little black idol, that was like a small statue of a person at His feet. I knew that the Lord was going to smash it. Then the vision ended. (The only way is, Mat 6:33 Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.”)

 

 Idolatry and Distractions Keep the Church Imature

Joe Dobrozsi - 6/27/22 (David’s notes in red)

I wanted to contact you because I saw this sign again in the parking lot at work today. Last year, about three times, I saw what looked like another planet or something that seemed to cover the moon to where there was just a sliver of the moon visible. (The moon or Woman Church, cannot reflect the light of the Son/sun because the earth has come between them. i.e. The Church is looking at the earth or the worldly instead of the Son. This represents worldly idolatry or distractions keeping the Church from maturing. We have to behold the Son to reflect Him and come into His image - 2 Co 3:18)

(I don't know if it's a vision or real), but every time I have seen this sign, the sun is getting ready to rise and that is something that really stands out to me the whole time. (We haven't had this many eclipses so this is a spiritual vision. We just received a dream of the immature missing the Man-child/Bride bus because of distractions. This is a good exhortation to run after Jesus because time is short to be chosen.)

 

 Distractions Cause the Bride to Miss the Man-child 

Claire Pienaar -  6/23/22 (David’s notes in red)

I was in a steak grill house, and I was with a group of people (This restaurant represents the fiery trials of the flesh.). The group of people were celebrating me, but I don’t know why. I was given the best seats, goodie bags, and so much food and praise. I could not understand it. (These represent worldly distractions and flatteries which, as we will see, can cause the Bride to miss her appointment with the Man-child.) All I wanted was Richard, my first love (Richard was my first boyfriend, and in this dream, he and Riaan, my husband, were morphed into one character. Richard means “mighty ruler” and Riaan means “little king” so I think these men represent a corporate body of Jesus, or the Man-Child reformers.). (This is what makes her the Bride . She is always desiring to run after Jesus, her first love despite all the distractions of the world and the enemy.) 

I went looking for Richard. I went to a shop where Riaan and I had once bought blue jeans and I waited there for him. (The Bride is only interested in running after Christ and walking in heavenly places, as represented by the blue jeans).   

I went to find a toilet in the dream. (Riaan: The Bride is the one constantly looking to cleanse herself of all defilement, to be perfect and blemish-less for her Husband, Christ). I walked through a very hi-tech call-center to get to the bathroom. (The hi-tech call center represents a constant communication with the Holy Spirit in order to receive the convictions we need in order to repent.) (Riaan: Yes, it is the high calling of God, to be made separate, pure and holy for Him) 

The toilet stalls were elevated, about one story higher than the call-center. The stalls were made from completely transparent glass, and the doors only covered my middle section… (This transparency of nakedness represents repentance and the confession of sin. 1Jn 1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. What disqualifies the wicked, is they cannot repent and confess their sins in order to be righteous. Narcissism, rejection, faction spirits put fear in people to Confess and Be delivered. And even then, some do not hold fast to the Gospel believing that Jesus took away their sins and gave them his life and so they do not mature because of double mindedness.)

I walked back to the restaurant and when I realized Richard/Riaan wasn’t coming, I was sad. I had missed his birthday. In the dream, the date that I had missed was the 23rd of March. (Son 5:4-6  My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, And my heart was moved for him.  5  I rose up to open to my beloved; And my hands dropped with myrrh, And my fingers with liquid myrrh, Upon the handles of the bolt.  6  I opened to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone. My soul had failed me when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.)

(It seems the bride receives gifts on the Man-child’s birthday. (The birthing of the Man-child ministry is when the Lord returns "as a mighty one" in the Man-child by Word and Spirit to reward the Bride but there was a delay. Isa 40:10  Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him: Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. And Isa 62:11  Behold, Jehovah hath proclaimed unto the end of the earth, Say ye to the daughter of Zion, (the Bride) Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.)
 

I’ve just recently been reading in Esther (by faith at random), and I saw that in Esther 8:9 the same day and month in their calendar was used as the date I received in this dream of March 23rd. 

Est 8:7-11  Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.  8  Write ye also to the Jews, as it pleaseth you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring; for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.  9  Then were the king's scribes called at that time, in the third month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded unto the Jews... 10  And he wrote in the name of king Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king's ring, and sent letters by post on horseback... 11  wherein the king granted the Jews that were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, their little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.)

Back to Claire’s dream: I made a way to leave the busy restaurant that was in a shopping mall, and got up onto the roof where a friend called Suzan was with me. (The Bride keeps looking for her Beloved.) She was so loving and kind and emotionally expressive and demonstrative with much hugging and squeezing my arm in reassurance (Riaan: Suzan means lily, she represents the reassuring love of Christ the Bride experiences when she leaves the world behind and strives for the heavenly. Song 2:2  As a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters). 

On the roof I saw a helicopter that looked like an ambulance mixed with an ice-cream truck. I was waiting to go with it when it lifted up. (What the Bride needs now is lifting up and spiritual health so as not to miss our sweet appointment. We have already received in dreams that the coming of the Lord in His Man-child is awaiting the maturity of the Bride.)

The scene changed and I walked through terraced paddocks, where I saw many black little calves. I came back to my bedroom in the dream and spoke to Riaan, who was on his knees praying at the foot of the bed when I arrived in our room. He said, “it sounds like Psalm 91 protection” and he started quoting the psalm to me. (Riaan: Mal 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the sun of righteousness arise with healing in its wings; and ye shall go forth, and gambol as calves of the stall.) (So when the helicopter/ambulance arises with the Bride she will have the Psalm 91 protection through the tribulation.) 

Then I went back to the paddocks in the dream, and as I walked I knew I was getting closer to Richard/Riaan and the blue jeans.  

I asked the Lord what the restaurant part of the dream represents, and received 2 Ch 6:29, (in context 29-31) what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house: then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of the children of men); that they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers. 

I asked the Lord about the terraced paddocks and received by faith at random the word, “Mount Gilead” from Song 4:1 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; Thine eyes are as doves behind thy veil. Thy hair is as a flock of goats, That lie along the side of mount Gilead. (Terracing on the side of a mountain where flocks graze makes it possible for them to rest and to feed.)

I asked for another verse at random about who Richard/Riaan represents and I received Song 4:4, Thy neck is like the tower of David Builded for an armory, Whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, All the shields of the mighty men.

I thought it was too close to the previous verse I received, so I asked for another verse by faith at random and received the word “Gilead” again, this time from Jer 50:19  And I will bring Israel again to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.

Besides distractions ego in the form of competitiveness holds the Bride back from maturity.

 

 Competition Divides the Church

Claire Pienaar - 12/17/21 (David’s notes in red)

I dreamed I was in a really dark church in a very dark city, late at night. (This represents the Babylonish apostate church system that is at the end of the Gentile Church dispensation.) The church had so many things wrong with it. It had a golden altar (Representing Idolatry) and separate places for new believers, old believers, women, children, men, and elders. (This represents the denominalizations and divisions, sects or heresies that the Bible warns about in 2 Pe 2:1 But there arose false prophets also among the people, as among you also there shall be false teachers, who shall privily bring in destructive heresies, (Heresies are a self-willed opinion that causes division) denying even the Master that bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction.) It was eery due to the darkness that was coming in from the outside. (The apostate Church has let the darkness of the world and its ways inside.) (Riaan: Before the coming of the Man-Child Jesus, the people of God were in darkness for hundreds of years).

Some young people came in, and I thought they were going to add some life to the gathering, but they were just there to wait out the storm that was raging outside. (Many who are young in the Lord start out in apostate churches because they believe there is an escape from the world and its curses there. They either stay and die a slow spiritual death or they come out and begin seeking the Lord and truth for themselves.)

I tried to get to the “main” part of the church, but the older women of the church continuously tried to get me to come with them to their “women’s fellowship”. I did not want to be taught by a woman and kept on looking for a way to exit without anyone noticing, so as not to offend. (Note: In Titus it tells the older women to teach the younger women Tit 2:4-5  that they may train the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,  5  to be sober-minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. But they are not to teach doctrines which a lot of Women’s fellowships do.)

I noticed they took the children out of the main church and put them in a separate room away from their mothers. (We saw in Titus that the mothers are the ones who are supposed to teach their children.) There was much fussiness and fussing between the mothers, the “caregivers” and the children and I could not understand any of it.

I finally found a little red umbrella and decided to go outside. I didn’t care if I was going to get wet or drenched or blown away in the storm, but I had to leave. Then I woke up.

(I don’t think this dream is for me personally as I’ve not been part of any institution for a long time, and I don’t really subscribe to mainline denominational stuff... but it’s a good warning for others, and a call to pray for those who still need to come out. I also think the Lord showed me this dream to confirm the darkness that is befalling the current institutionalized church, as is evident from the verses I received concerning it.).

 I asked the Lord for a verse by faith at random. (She received a text that speaks of the coming David Man-child reformers to bring the Church back into Biblical order.)   Psa 89:25  I will set his hand also on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers. (In context 20-29)  I have found David my servant; With my holy oil have I anointed him: 21 With whom my hand shall be established; Mine arm also shall strengthen him. 22 The enemy shall not exact from him, Nor the son of wickedness afflict him. 23 And I will beat down his adversaries before him, And smite them that hate him. 

24 But my faithfulness and my lovingkindness shall be with him; And in my name shall his horn be exalted. 25 I will set his hand also on the sea, And his right hand on the rivers. 26 He shall cry unto me, Thou art my Father, My God, and the rock of my salvation. 27 I also will make him my first-born, The highest of the kings of the earth. 28 My lovingkindness will I keep for him for evermore; And my covenant shall stand fast with him. 29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever, And his throne as the days of heaven.

I asked the Lord for one more word by faith at random, and received Hos 13:2: And now they sin more and more, and have made them molten images of their silver, even idols according to their own understanding, all of them the work of the craftsmen: they say of them, Let the men that sacrifice kiss the calves. (This may represent the religious institutions who follow another Jesus.)

 

Warning of the Competitive Prophetic Spirit

Garrett Crawford - 5/29/22 (David’s notes in red)

...I began to tell my wife yesterday that none of the false prophets are speaking about this Nuclear event that the Lord showed me. None of them are warning of something so specific as this. They speak in vague loose language so after an event or calamity happens they can go back and say "See! I saw that! I warned of that!" But they only deceive themselves and their followers. (I want to be very clear I am not a prophet in any sense of the word) A true prophet is given specific details of events to come. Sometimes they know where and when and why. 

I was telling my wife the false prophets in the church with the large audiences will be totally caught off guard by this event. It will shock them to their core, but afterwards they will surely take credit for seeing it in advance. They will scramble amongst themselves through their endless pages of vague prophetic nonsense and revisit hours of recorded speaking engagements to see what 2 or 3 lines can be strewn together to prove this was warned of. God's true prophets do not need to go to such desperate lengths. God's true prophet's words are few, prophecies are few but are etched in stone and are amazingly accurate. (Yet Many warnings in these days come from simple people with simple dreams, not from those who even promote themselves as a “prophet".)

This weighed on my heart. Yes, I knew the tendencies of the false prophets but I also looked within myself with the utmost scrutiny. I cried out to Jesus saying, "Lord, search my heart. If there is any vain glory or self seeking spirit within me, reveal it and drive it from me." Revelations are not for boasting or receiving the praise of men. They are dangerous for many because the flesh loves to glory in itself and take credit for being set apart and special. 

I did not want to be like the false prophets that travel from conference to conference, church to church stealing words from one another and slapping each other on the back. Yet even in this prayer my own self righteousness and pride was well at work within me. Sometimes we feel pretty good about seeing the flaws of others yet miss so much about ourselves. Many have made whole ministries of pointing out the heresies of the false church and it's leaders. All the while being completely self seeking and prideful themselves, but I digress.

When I got home I was still thinking about how "no one" in the prophetic mainstream is specifically talking about this soon coming judgment. I felt like I was the only one with this understanding. I felt like a man on an island and although I knew not to go to the "false patriot prophets" as I call them. I did start to do some searching on youtube about a nuclear strike on New York City. To my surprise I did see quite a few dreams seeing pretty much the same things I saw. These weren't any of the who's who of the charismatic realm, they were nobodies like me. Just everyday people like myself with no title or authority just sharing dreams of judgment. 

Some were quite amazing and detailed. I was not completely shocked as I know God always confirms things in the mouths of two or three witnesses, but I have to be honest after I watched these I felt a little unsettled within myself. I still felt something amiss in my heart. Almost like dare I say "a competitive spirit." I knew these people were not in the false prophet crowd, there was absolutely no worry there. But I felt a tinge of pride within me, I still wanted to feel like I was the only one. 

I recall Elijah telling those on Mt. Carmel: I am the only one of the LORD’s prophets left, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets. (Elijah failed to acknowledge what Obadiah had just told him earlier, "Hey there's still a bunch of prophets left in a cave, I have them hidden from Jezebel”) 1 Ki 18:3-4 Now Obadiah greatly feared the LORD, 4 for when Jezebel had slaughtered the prophets of the LORD, Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden them, fifty men per cave, providing them with food and water.  

(Elijah got scared of Jezebel like everyone else and hid in a cave later.) 1 Ki 19:9  There Elijah entered a cave and spent the night. And the word of the LORD came to him, saying, “What are you doing here, Elijah?” “I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of Hosts,” he replied, “but the Israelites have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I am the only one left, and they are seeking my life as well.”  (Even there Elijah still maintained he was the only one doing God's will.)

Everything he just said was true, except for the fact he was the only one still following God in such a horrible time of apostasy. God let him in on a little secret: "Nevertheless, I have reserved seven thousand in Israel—all whose knees have not bowed to Baal and whose mouths have not kissed him.”

I think we need to realize the fact we are all nobodies, none is more special than the other. In this time in history spiritual gifts are working in us all. It's just not rare to see the Holy Spirit giving dreams and visions to people anymore. We need to get off our self-imposed isolated high horse and just be like little children: humble, happy and content. Comparison is the thief of all joy, I don't know who said that but I see it around alot and it's fitting for this exhortation. But I also want to examine something else. I feel like the prophetic has become a sport.

We are just tallying points to see who got it right more times, and in the end we can add up our stats and let everyone know we hear God better than others. The most important thing we must remember is that God does not want anyone to perish. He takes no joy in the death of the wicked. He gives us these warnings to share with others so that men may repent. Death is not something to celebrate, "getting it right" is not something to relish in. Having a dream or vision come to pass means nothing if we don't have humility and a longing for men to be saved. Are we all Jonahs? Do we want to merely operate in the spiritual gifts but are far more concerned with our track record? 

Ask yourself are you willing to be called a false prophet in order that men will be saved from the very judgments you have so clearly seen? If you knew that the judgment you saw and were made to proclaim would be delayed or even stopped completely would you still proclaim it? If you knew you would be called "false prophet, lying spirit or deceiver" would you still speak? Until you are ready to be hated of men God can not use you. It's his mercy that he has not ordained many of us with prophetic giftings into the office of prophet. We could simply not take the heat. 

Many of us (including myself) have no idea what it means to be a prophet or apostle. They are despised by the world, hated among the majority of the Church, and often find themselves alone in a cave. They are public spectacles and objects of wrath, humiliation and scorn. Forget everything you see in the mainstream Church,You-tube, or in movies. I can assure you Satan has deceived the minds of the lost and lukewarm Christians concerning this. One thing God told me long ago, "Garrett if you see someone that has prophet or apostle before their name, they usually aren't." 

I can't take credit for the understanding laid out above though. It was only after having this dream last night that God gave me some insight about what exactly was going on in my own heart:

 

Satan Pits Brother Against Brother

Garrett Crawford - 5/29/22 (David’s notes in red)

In this short dream, I was dressed in purple and gold. (The uniforms are the righteous garments of the saints. The purple represents royalty, the gold represents being refined in the fire. All of God's children should be wearing purple and gold.) (Representing being dressed in royalty. God promised Abraham that out of him kings would come. We are Abraham’s seed if we hold to the faith of Abraham. Gen 17:5-7 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for the father of a multitude of nations have I made thee. 6 And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. 7 And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and thy seed after thee throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be a God unto thee and to thy seed after thee. 

And Gal. 3:6-9 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness. 7 Know therefore that they that are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham. 8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, preached the gospel beforehand unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all the nations be blessed. 9 So then they that are of faith are blessed with the faithful Abraham.) 

I was in the uniform of the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team in an NBA arena. We were playing a game against another team. But oddly enough the other team was dressed in purple and gold too. They were also the Los Angeles Lakers. It seemed the same team was playing against themselves. (This represents a competitive, and in some cases, denominational spirit among God’s elect that brings disrepute to the Name of Jesus.)

I was a starter and the star on my team and I was scoring most of the points. I noticed Kobe Bryant was the only coach on the floor and it seemed he was coaching both teams. (Kobe in Hebrew is a form of Jacob which means supplanter or cunning.) Kobe Bryant's nickname was the "Black Mamba". (Representing Satan, the accuser of the brethren.) Kobe saw that I was scoring a lot of points so he substituted someone into the game. He substituted a man I went to school with named Adam Brotherton. I knew Adam was not as skilled as I was, he wasn't even a starter. (Adam Brotherton represents all our brethren in Christ who was the second Adam.) 

As he came off the bench, I was not threatened by him, but then Adam began to match me point for point. Every time I scored, Adam scored. This went back and forth for sometime. I was pretty irritated and quite threatened by his ability to score just like me. When I watched Adam I saw no guile in him, jealousy or a competitive spirit. He was humble and just enjoying the game. I seemed to be playing against Adam, but Adam was simply playing the game as the game was meant to be played. He was smiling and having a good time. Then I woke up.

(Scoring points is not bad, and it's not bad to be gifted. But Satan or the "Black Mamba" will use brother against brother to become competitive and often make one lose sight of just enjoying the game, that is when we start watching others too closely and insecurity sets in. Gifted Christians that know more then others will start to look down on less gifted brothers and think they are not as spiritual as them, therefore can't do the same things God has allowed them to do. 

But God will humble older and more spiritual brothers by substitutes and allow these younger brothers to do things they themselves think only they can do. In the end we have to remember we are all brothers, we are all wearing purple and gold and we all play for the same team. We don't need to be competitive and threatened when God uses someone else. Satan wants us competing with each other and keeping score. There is plenty of time in the game and we all get a chance to shoot the ball at different times.)

 

The Bride Seeks the Prize of “High Calling of God in Christ Jesus”

David Eells

I've discovered that when it’s really hard to turn the other cheek or to resist not him that is evil, it’s usually because there is some competitive spirit, some pride, some judgment in our heart concerning the people who are coming against us. Our old man rises up, our pride rises up, that competition rises up and we want to retaliate. We don’t want to bear that fiery trial; we don’t want to bear that cross. But the Lord is teaching us that, when we submit to what the Word of God has to say concerning other people, our mind doesn’t get stirred up emotionally against them. 

Being emotionally stirred up makes it almost impossible to be obedient. The Bible tells us what we are to do concerning the “weak” brother: (Rom.14:1) But him that is weak in faith receive ye, [yet] not for decision of scruples (or “to doubtful disputations”). There are people who are weak in the faith, whose doctrine is not what ours is concerning the faith, concerning salvation, concerning the Holy Spirit and many other things. 

Many times in our church life, we’ve been taught to judge these people, rather than do what God says, which is to receive them. (2) One man hath faith to eat all things: but he that is weak eateth herbs. (3) Let not him that eateth set at nought him that eateth not; and let not him that eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him. (4) Who art thou that judgest the servant of another? to his own lord he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be made to stand; for the Lord hath power to make him stand. So Paul tells us that there are people who are weak in the Christian faith and that we’re not to judge them. We’re to give them the time to grow up. (10) But thou, why dost thou judge thy brother? or thou again, why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment-seat of God. I had experiences where the Lord taught me this. 

The prize itself is to be chosen as the Bride as we will see. It is important to note that the Church is not the Bride as some simplistically say, but she is chosen out of the Church. Esther, the Bride, was chosen out of all the fair virgins of the kingdom to be the Bride of one who was at that time the ”King of kings” and this after Vashti was rejected because she did not obey the King. Also in SoS, the Shulammite, meaning "perfected one", was chosen out of all the women of the kingdom.

Son 6:8-9  There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, And virgins without number. 9 My dove, my undefiled, is but one; She is the only one of her mother; She is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; Yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her. Also in Psa 45 the Bride raised up the virgins to know the Lord. Jesus always taught in His parables the Jewish Marriage ceremony in which everyone was accounted for in the Church. There was the Bride, the virgins who escort her to the grooms home after the marriage feast, the friend of the Bridegroom, and those receiving the invitations. In Revelation 19, the Bride had on a glorious lampros garment, meaning not only white but glowing. There we see that those invited had on a simple leukos garment meaning white. Of course the Bride does not receive an invitation to her own marriage.

What are the advantages of Being in the Bride?  

They sit next to the King forever in the highest Holy of Holies like the Bride in Psalm 45. In Joel 2, as righteous Jerusalem, they escaped the beast who captured the rest of God’s people in a tribulation. They conquered the Assyrian beast to save God’s people. In Esther she had the Love, respect and ear of the King and brought down the beast Haman and his people to save the people of God. In SoS she raised up her little sister, the rest of the people of God, to enter the presence of the King. 

In the Gospels they raised up the Church and ordained the 5 fold ministries. In Rev. 3, as the Philadelphia Church of brotherly love, they escaped the hour of trial that came on the rest of the Church and the whole world. This is not a rapture, she is supernaturally spared for she is not under the curse as we have seen. They were given the name of the New Jerusalem. She is born from heaven and God’s new name was written upon them.

Beauty of Submission and Glory (1)

(audio)

David Eells, 10/14/26

We are drawing near to the choosing of the bride.

The Bride Is Submitted to the Word

Debra Klein – Nov/Dec 2008 (David's notes in red)

In a dream, I was in a huge temple, which I knew was the heavenly temple. I was dressed in a wedding dress, and there were six other brides, besides myself, in this temple who also had their wedding dresses on. (This is a picture of the brides taken from the seven church types in Revelation 2 and 3.)

Somehow, we all knew that we were only to wear the wedding dresses and that absolutely no veils were allowed to be worn at this rehearsal. (Since this is a rehearsal, the submission is not complete. The veil is a sign of submission to Jesus, the Word, which only the true bride will show herself to be - 1 Corinthians 11.)

I was sitting in the very last pew, on the right side, in the back of the Temple, where Jesus and I sat together “as a married couple” (He, at the end of the pew closest to the wall, and me to His right) with an aisle in the middle and pews to the left. (The last shall be first and the first last. In this world, the least respected are those who seek not the admiration of the world but put themselves last and on the cross. They sit on the right, for they are the true sheep.)

Suddenly, something took place in the Temple that caused us all to stand up. And as we stood up, I noticed there was a bride standing in the pew directly in front of me. As I looked at her, I was taken aback in shock. She was a “dark” woman who was wearing a beautiful, modern, white, slinky, sophisticated wedding dress. But to my surprise, the back of her dress had a see-through panel, through which I saw her naked body and an ugly tattoo on her right hip, which was an appalling sight! (This is a type of the Laodicean church whose nakedness was not revealed to her, for it was the back of her dress that was missing, but it was revealed to everyone else because of her walking in darkness. (Rev.3:17) Because thou sayest, I am rich, and have gotten riches, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art the wretched one and miserable and poor and blind and naked:

(18) I counsel thee to buy of me gold refined by fire, that thou mayest become rich; and white garments, that thou mayest clothe thyself, and [that] the shame of thy nakedness be not made manifest; and eyesalve to anoint thine eyes, that thou mayest see. We must be dressed up with the works of Jesus to have on the wedding garment. (Rom.13:12) The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. (13) Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy. (14) But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to [fulfil] the lusts [thereof].)

I turned my head to the Lord and said, “Lord, why did you want me to see this?” He responded and said, “Keep looking”, and we all sat down. Then a woman walked through the double doors on the wall behind our pew and over toward the middle aisle at the end of the last pew where we sat, and somehow, I knew she was the coordinator of this dress rehearsal. As she stood in the aisle at the end of our pew, she motioned to a family sitting at that end to get my attention.

As I turned to look toward her, she had draped across both arms the most beautiful veil I have ever seen, which I can't describe because it was not of this world, but of a “heavenly” nature. I was awestruck at the sight of this veil, so much so that I couldn't breathe or move, but could only feel my heart beating. (This Veil is truly not of this world and represents the manifestation of submission to the Lord and His Word, for He is our Husband who sows the seed of the Word in our hearts.)

Suddenly, she pointed to me, indicating that the veil was mine! I was frozen and couldn't believe that the veil was for me! Then she motioned to me that she was going to come around the back of my pew, where the Lord Jesus and I were sitting, and place the veil on my head, which she did. (The Philadelphia Church is the type of the Bride to whom it was said: (Rev.3:10) Because thou didst keep the word of my patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of trial, (This is like Esther being in the king's house didn't face Haman's wrath) that [hour] which is to come upon the whole world, to try them that dwell upon the earth. (11) I come quickly: hold fast that which thou hast, that no one take thy crown. (12) He that overcometh, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go out thence no more: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God, and mine own new name.)

I was still motionless and awestruck, and sat there for some time, contemplating this veil that she placed on my head, holding the Lord's hand all the while. Then I found myself observing myself from behind, being drawn closer to observe the headpiece of the veil. I just had to see it! I was then lifted up in the Spirit high enough to hover over my head to get a good view of the headpiece.

Upon careful inspection, to my surprise, the headpiece was a white crown of thorns, which was ever-so-delicately entwined all around with white baby's breath with a diamond at the end of each tiny flower. To my amazement, the thorns did not penetrate my scalp, my temples, or my eyelids, and the thorns were neatly folded under! Weeping, I turned and looked at the Lord and asked Him, “Why are the thorns folded under?” He so lovingly and so humbly hung His head a little and said, “I took the thorns so you wouldn't have to”. (Thorns represent the curse which Jesus bore. (Gal.3:13) Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: (14) that upon the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. (1Pe.2:24) who his own self bare our sins in his body upon the tree, that we, having died unto sins, might live unto righteousness; by whose stripes ye were healed.)

I can't begin to describe to you the understanding I received, at that moment, of His unfathomable, deep love He has for His Bride! All I could do was weep uncontrollably at the wonder of His love! Immediately, the organ began to play the song: “Here Comes the Bride!” and I stood up, as I knew it was my cue, and scurried through the pew and into the aisle, and up the aisle toward my Beloved.

As I continued to walk, I noticed what I thought were five other brides scattered throughout the pews on the left side of the Temple and I looked back again at the Lord, Who was waiting for me at the altar, and I asked Him who these five were. He said, “Beloved, these are the five foolish virgins”. And I continued to walk toward Him, and then I woke up! (The foolish virgins were at the marriage feast of seven days (tribulation) but were not permitted to be in the midnight escort by the wise virgins to the Groom's home (which is in heaven) where the marriage supper is. [In Mat.25:10, the Greek word “Gamos” just means “marriage” and includes the whole marriage of the feast and the supper.] As we see in Esther, Song of Solomon, and Psalm 45, the corporate Bride body is chosen from among all the spiritual virgins of God’s people. The promises to the overcomers in their midst were given to them.)

I didn't want to wake up and tried to go back to sleep to continue the dream, but nothing happened, and I lay there quietly and knew that the Lord was telling me that it was time for the wedding feast! (The Wedding Feast is the last seven days, representing the tribulation, before the Bride and Groom are escorted to the Groom's home (in heaven) by the wise virgins.)

And so I asked Him, “Lord, the bride who was in front of me, was that the corrupt church?” And He said, “Yes”. (Most of the corrupt church are told that they are the bride. So many are selling their birthright instead of running after holiness.)

Then I thought about the crown of thorns as the headpiece of the veil, and then I understood so clearly that He could only choose a bride who knew sorrow, suffering, and death to self in order for the two to become One. “How can the two walk together except they be agreed?”

I just couldn't get over the fact that I was chosen to wear this veil and crown! But the Lord made me to understand that this vision was not about me, but the Bride as a whole, and that I was to share this vision with her to make her ready for His soon coming! He's at the door! It's time for the wedding feast! (The tribulation to prove who the Bride is will begin the seven day/years. At this time God is separating the tares.)

 

The Bride’s Transformation to Heavenly Submission

Marie Kelton - 4/1/22 (David’s notes in red)

(In this dream, Marie represents the Bride of Christ who is submitted to her heavenly Husband through obedience to His Word.)

I dreamed I was in Chicago. (Chicago represents Babylon. Jesus said that we are in the world but not of it.) I was in the bathroom; I was dyeing my hair blueusing a white cream. (Spiritually speaking, the bathroom is where we rid ourselves, through repentance, of spiritual waste. A woman’s hair is a sign of submission to her husband. Blue represents heavenly. This text also explains the next few dreams, and I will explain these scriptures in more detail below.

1Co.11:3-15 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoreth his head. 5 But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her head; for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven. 6 For if a woman is not veiled, let her also be shorn: but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be veiled. 7 For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. 8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man:

9 for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man: 10 for this cause ought the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord. 12 For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman; but all things are of God. 13 Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled? 14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a dishonor to him? 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

In Marie’s dream, dyeing the hair blue represents acquiring a heavenly submission to Jesus by being seated with Christ in heavenly places. The white cream represents purity, which we need to be in submission to Jesus and His Word.

Eph.2:1-10 And you did he make alive, when ye were dead through your trespasses and sins, 2 wherein ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, of the spirit that now worketh in the sons of disobedience; 3 among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:— 4 but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved), 6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus: 7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus: 8 for by grace have ye been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; 9 not of works, that no man should glory. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.)

The color only took to the back of my hair, which was a bright blue, but it didn't take to the rest of my hair. I knew, in the dream, that I was going to dye it again to get the rest of my hair that same bright blue color. (Salvation in our spirit is instant when we first come to the Lord in repentance. This is represented by the blue coloring only taking to the back of the hair, which represents all our past sins up to the point of our salvation. But the salvation of our souls is a progressive process. This is represented by the recoloring of the front (or forward-looking) part of the hair, representing working out the rest of our salvation in the future with fear and trembling.)

My adoptive mom and adoptive grandmother didn't like me dyeing my hair that color. (They represent the Mother of Harlots and her daughters.) They were really mad at me for it. (Our submission to God angers the world.)

(The Babylonish apostates hate the true disciples of Jesus. Throughout the history of the Bible, it was those recognized as God’s people who persecuted the righteous. Jon.15:18-21 If the world hateth you, ye know that it hath hated me before it hated you. 19 If ye were of the world, the world would love its own: but because ye are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you. 20 Remember the word that I said unto you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they kept my word, they will keep yours also. 21 But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me.)

 

The Submitted Bride is Exceedingly Beautiful

C. P. - 11/23/22 (David’s notes in red)

…I dreamed I saw two pregnant women at a hairdresser. I recognized the younger one, who was a friend named Glenda (Glenda means holy and good). Both women were gorgeous; each had gorgeous, long, blonde hair, and both were very pregnant. They were physically fit and were wearing running clothes. They had just come back from a run. These women represent the members of the corporate Bride body. They are fit from exercising their faith and overcoming trials (in running their race). They are completely submissive to the sun/Son, as indicated by the blonde hair. (And about to give birth to the Man-child reformers.)

A well-dressed, male hair stylist came and spoke to them. He loved their long hair and beauty. He told them to wait. (This male hair stylist represents the Holy Spirit who gives those who are in submission to the King of kings everything they will need to be pleasing to Jesus as Hegai did in the Book of Esther 2:8-9 So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women. 9 And the maiden pleased him(The Holy Spirit), and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her things for purification, with her portions, and the seven maidens who were meet to be given her out of the king's house: and he removed her and her maidens to the best place of the house of the women. (Notice that the Holy Spirit can do a quick work if we please Him.)

This dream came to my mind:

 

Time is Running Out

M. L. - 1/21/23

In a dream, I saw a very large white wall. (Representing the white wall of purity and sanctification.) On the wall was the largest circular clock I have ever seen. It had a narrow black rim all the way around it.

As I looked up at the 12 o’clock area of the clock, … the number 12 started slowly running down the face of the clock like wet ink. (The number 12 represents the number of the elect.) The numbers 11 and 1 then started to run down as the 12 had done. (111 is the gematria for the birth of the Man-child.) Then I woke up with the realization that time was running out for Christians. (For Christians to be a part of the Man-child and Bride bodies. Obey the voice of the Spirit and cast down distractions to be ready.)

(Back to the dream.) Then my perspective in the dream changed, and I was in another area of the salon where I saw the main, male stylist trying to “make do” with his clients. (This main stylist represents Jesus, the King of kings, just like Ahasuerus in the Book of Esther.) These clients were all very overweight, with scraggly black hair, and none of them was pretty. (Meaning, none are pleasing to the Lord.) (In the spiritual, these black-haired women represent the corporate body of the apostate Church, who are full of flesh and submitted to darkness.)

The male stylist (the Holy Spirit) who had seen the two blonde, pregnant women (pregnant with Jesus, the Word in them) and told them to wait, called the main stylist (Jesus) on a red telephone from a distance and said, “You have to see these two; they are beautiful. They are exactly what you’re looking for! I’m calling you so the others don’t hear me. They might be jealous or offended”. (The red telephone likely represents a “state of emergency” (in the Church today)).

The main stylist (Jesus) excused himself from the (less than desirable) clients he had in front of him and came out to look at these blonde, pregnant women. He was thrilled to see them! He touched their hair, looked at their strong, lean, tanned legs, and he was smiling from ear to ear. (Their strong, lean, tanned legs represent a walk of strength while being exposed to the sun/Son and have overcome many trials. Exposed to the sun is like the Shulamite bride in chapter 1 of Song of Solomon, who was scorched by the sun.) He did not want to cut their hair, as it was so healthy and thick and lovely. He just wanted to photograph them and be with them. (Jesus admires the beauty and submission of the Bride.)

These women then morphed into one (Because they represent a corporate body called the Bride of Christ), and this “super woman” was all smiles and gentle and unassuming; not prideful or boastful about her appearance or physical abilities at all. I so badly wanted to be like that! I wanted to be perfect and pregnant like they were. (1Co.12:20 But now they are many members, but one body)

Then I woke up. I received Isa.44:28 by faith at random for this dream, with my finger on “She shall be built” in verse 28 That saith of Cyrus, He is my shepherd, and shall perform all my pleasure, even saying of Jerusalem (John in Revelation was told that Jerusalem is the Bride), She shall be built; and of the temple, Thy foundation shall be laid.

Now I want to share the following revelation given to Linda Conner about:

 

Veil and Head Coverings

Linda Conner - 04/06/2007 (David’s notes in red)

Listen to David read this testimony during UBBS

Here is what the Lord caused me to understand by word of knowledge. He told me that the primary focus of the veil in 1 Corinthians 11 is not about submission. (False: The vail is also a sign of her submission to the man’s authority. He is the head of the woman below. 1Co 11:10 for this cause ought the woman to have a sign of authority on her head, because of the angels. Some of the angels rebelled against their authority so this is a witness to them.  The primary focus is about glory.

He said that since a woman's glory is her hair and it is given to her as a glorious covering, when she ministers to the Lord, whether in prayer (or exhibiting other spiritual gifts), she is to veil her glory out of a sense of respect for God. (And her husband) She is, in essence, submitting her fleshly “glory” and veiling it in HIS presence, and that this act is witnessed by the angelic beings. This shows the angelic beings that she is bowing herself down and showing reverence and respect for God's Order of things; that being, the man as head, Christ as head of the man, and God being the head of Christ.

The veil is actually a sign in the spiritual realm that the woman has submitted to God's Order. (And that is the man is her head,) When she submits to this, she is actually given authority in the heavenly realm (this is where the angels come in). This would be the authority of God to speak prophetically, as well as any gifting that she has been given. (She is forbidden to teach or have authority over a man.)

If she does not veil her glory, then that automatically brings dishonor to her head, who is the man, since she is the glory of the man. He caused me to understand that what is not said is that she has brought dishonor to herself as well. Conversely, the man does not veil his head because he reflects the glory of Christ. (1 Cor.11:7).

He caused me to understand that the devil had come in and tweaked the emphasis that the church has put on this and made us to think that the whole emphasis is on submission when the emphasis is really how the woman can manifest God's glory (which must be expressed in divine order just as Christ submitted Himself to the Father, even though He is God) rather than her own glory, and thus bring honor to herself and her husband. It was meant as a positive thing for a woman to veil her head rather than a negative thing that it seems to have become.

Finally, the point Paul is trying to make is that since the woman's hair is her glory, if she doesn't veil it in “The Presence,” then she is to be shaved, which is extremely shameful. He is drawing the parallel that it is extremely shameful for a woman to be uncovered in the presence of God Almighty.

As I have practiced veiling my hair this week, it has made me feel protected in a way I have not known before. It has made me feel cherished by the Lord rather than being thought of as a “second-class citizen” in the Kingdom.

I had asked the Lord to show me the prophetic picture of the veil in the Old Testament. He reminded me of the story of Rebekah. So, I went back and read the story in Genesis 24. When Rebekah learned from the servant who was escorting her that she was about to meet the man she was betrothed to (Isaac), she took a veil and concealed herself with it.

My notes: I agree with Linda’s word. This is an honor, a blessing, and it shows love to the Lord by keeping His commandments. You will notice in the verses below something that is not evident in some more careless translations. There is a different Greek word for covering than veil. Plainly stated below, the hair is given for a natural covering, which is to be covered with a veil. If a woman is not veiled, she should be shorn. This covering is at least for the purpose of her praying or prophesying in the assembly. Veiling her glory is a sign of submission to her husband’s authority.

The following is an excerpt from our book, Word Women and Authority.

(1Co.11:1) Be ye imitators of me, even as I also am of Christ. (2) Now I praise you that ye remember me in all things, and hold fast the traditions, even as I delivered them to you. (3) But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. (4) Every man praying or prophesying, (Notice this is a man being conspicuous by saying something or doing something in the church.)having his head covered (And that word is the Greek preposition kata meaning “[anything] down upon”; i.e. “covered, covering.”), dishonoreth his head. (So the man doesn’t need a hat or any kind of physical covering on his head in church because doing that dishonors his Head, Who is Christ.)

(5) But every woman praying or prophesying (Now this is a woman doing the same thing.) with her head unveiled (That’s a completely different Greek word, akatakaluptos. It means “unveiled” and not “uncovered.” When they translate it to be “covered,” as in the previous verse, people get confused. And it’s wrong to translate the same word in two joining sentences differently. Let me say here that a “veil” is not a “head covering.” That came from the false translation. It’s a veil, so what’s the difference between a veil and a head-covering? Let’s look at what each of them represents in scripture.

First of all, “hair” represents “thoughts” and long hair represents having thoughts in submission (Numbers 6:5; Acts 18:18). (Rev.1:14) And his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow (He is completely submitted to the light. All His thoughts are pure.); and his eyes were as a flame of fire.(Long hair is given to a woman as a natural head covering to indicate that she is submitted to the authority of a man. That man is her father when she is young, and her husband when she is married.

The actual head-covering showed that a woman was married. That’s why leaving her hair loose was so shameful; it’s because it indicated that a woman was an adulteress or a harlot. (Num.5:18) And the priest shall set the woman before the Lord, and let the hair of the woman's head go loose, and put the meal-offering of memorial in her hands, which is the meal-offering of jealousy: and the priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that causeth the curse. (19) And the priest shall cause her to swear, and shall say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou have not gone aside to uncleanness, being under thy husband, be thou free from this water of bitterness that causeth the curse.

Now think about what a veil is. Both the Hebrew and Greek word for “veil” always mean something that covers the face, and you may be surprised that a “veil” symbolizes “death.” (2Co.3:13) And are not as Moses, who put a veil upon his face, that the children of Israel should not look stedfastly on the end of that which was passing away.

(5) But every woman praying or prophesying with her head unveiled dishonoreth her head;… (If her head is unveiled, she is saying, “I am not under my husband’s authority because I am my own authority.” for it is one and the same thing as if she were shaven (That’s xurao, and it means “to shave.”). (6) For if a woman is not veiled (The word here is not “covered,” it’s “veiled.”), let her also be shorn (That’s the Greek word keiró, and it means “cut short the hair of,” as “in shearing sheep.”): but if it is a shame to a woman to be shorn (That’s keiró) or shaven (That’s xurao), let her be veiled.

(7) For a man indeed ought not to have his head veiled (He’s already told him that he shouldn’t have his head covered; now He’s saying a man shouldn’t have it veiled), forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man. (8) For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man (Which came first, the “chicken” or the “egg”? He’s telling you right here. (See also Genesis 2:22 and 1 Timothy 2:13.): (9) for neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man (The woman completes the man, and God even says it is not good for a man to be alone (Genesis 2:18). The woman is for the man, and she should honor the man, just as the man should honor Christ, his Head.):

(10) for this cause ought the woman to have [a sign of] authority on her head, because of the angels. (The veil is a sign of the authority of her husband over her. (I see no word that unmarried females must be veiled.) When a wife veils herself, she is saying, “I am dead. I have no glory of my own,” but she does have the glory of her husband since they are one flesh and she is submitted to him. So her life is hidden in her husband, whose life is hid in Christ (Galatians 2:20), and her prayers are even more powerful because her husband is “the image and glory of God.”)

(11) Nevertheless, neither is the woman without the man, nor the man without the woman, in the Lord. (So they are one in the Lord, the man “carries” the woman, and we just saw how important that is.) (12) For as the woman is of the man, so is the man also by the woman (Yes. Of course, the very corrupt and evil government would like to make no difference between the man and the woman. In fact, they would just as soon everybody be bisexual, and then we wouldn’t have all these babies and we could do away with a lot of the population.); but all things are of God.

(13) Judge ye in yourselves: is it seemly that a woman pray unto God unveiled? (“Seemly” there is the Greek word prepó and it “refers to acting appropriately in a particular situation, i.e., as it is seemly to God and therefore 'conspicuous amongst others; hence eminent, distinguished.’” This is asking, “Is it appropriate for a woman ‘to stand out, be conspicuous’ while she is praying, unveiled?” I believe he’s talking about speaking out loud in prayer, just like prophesying. Prophesying is spoken; it goes out where people hear it.)

(14) Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a dishonor to him? (That’s right; he’s rebelling against what his proper role is. He’s saying, “I don’t want to fulfill the responsibility that’s mine as a man.” I’ve seen a lot of preachers, especially after they get on television, who wear long hair. They don’t honor the Word of God by doing that and they’re just glorifying rebellion.)

(15) But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: “Glory” there is the Greek dóksa, and it “literally means ‘what evokes good opinion, i.e., that something has inherent, intrinsic worth’”; it’s also translated as “praise, honor, renown.”) for her hair is given her for a covering. (He says that nature itself teaches you the lesson that the woman is given long hair as a covering. You may ask, “How long, David?” Well, I can’t say, but I can tell you, I know the difference between “short” and “long.” As a woman, you need to build on that and do what God tells you to do about the veil.)

(16) But if any man seemeth to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God. (He’s saying, “I don’t want you to be contentious about this tradition that the Holy Spirit passed on to us and expected us to keep.”)

I do want to point out again that this seems to be talking about, very plainly, the woman who has a husband. It doesn’t seem to be talking about little girls wearing a veil. I’m not saying it’s bad for children to do that, I’m just saying that’s not what the text is saying. It’s not talking about children or virgins wearing a veil. He’s not talking about the unmarried, He’s talking about the married woman. The Lord is not speaking about an unmarried woman, a widow, or a virgin’s hair. I know, in some cases, churches have made it a law for all females to wear a head covering, but I’m just looking at the text, and I’m seeing what it says, and you can do the same thing. So, again, we don’t need to “go beyond the things that are written” because then it becomes legalism.

Now let me share a word of encouragement with you called:

 

Two Events Are Occurring Simultaneously

Isaac Alvarado – 10/12/26

Vision:

Two events occurring simultaneously: the Lion of the Tribe of Judah roaring from Mount Zion, and the people of the Bride of the Lamb—ascending Mount Zion in celebration and worship to meet her Beloved, amidst voices of adoration and the sound of tambourines, harps, flags, psalteries, and trumpets.

Amos 1:2: “The Lord roars from Zion and utters His voice from Jerusalem…”

 “When I remember these things, I pour out my soul within me —how I used to go with the multitude, leading them to the house of God, amidst voices of joy and praise from the celebrating people.” Psalm 42:4

“You are beautiful, my love, as Tirzah; lovely as Jerusalem; awesome as an army with banners.” Song of Solomon 6:4 

I summon My people in this time—a time to worship Me; I am the High and Exalted One.

That is why I say to you, Church: worship Me; offer Me your worship with a grateful heart—a heart that understands what awaits you and what has been prepared for you. Worship Me, My people; I am worthy of honor. I am the One who speaks to My people; I am preparing them. 

Even in worship, I am over My people. Freedom for the captive. Worship Me, My people.

It is the time when you will see My hand outstretched with wonders and signs. I am coming soon, says the Lord; prepare yourself. I lift up weak hands; I give them the water of life to drink; My Spirit blows—be filled with the Spirit.

Worship Me, My people, says the Lord.

In the name of Christ Jesus.

 

Put On Your Robes Of White  

Debbie Fenske, 10/12/2026 

“My children, I see you in robes of white. I see your hearts. I have clothed you in robes of white. I see your love for Me. I see repentant hearts. My children, I love you. You belong to Me. My heart overflows with desire for you. And I see your desire for Me. Desire Me ever so much more.  

I am yours. And you are Mine. I love you, and I chose you. And I clothe you in My robes of white. Stay in the light of My Word. Put on your robes of white.” 

(As I type this out, it has filled me with such gratefulness. And it has brought tears to my eyes at hearing Jesus speak to us of how He sees us. He is looking at us, and He is seeing only the end from the beginning. This is how He is seeing us. Praise You, Lord! 

Thank you, Jesus for Your great love for us. Thank You that though You see other things that are not so pleasing to look at, and You are helping us to overcome, You see it done. Help us to see the end from the beginning, according to Your promises in Your word. You see us as Overcomers. Jesus, how encouraging this is!  

Your love is too great. Thank You for helping us to see the end from the beginning, and to see ourselves walking in the light of Your Word, continually clothing ourselves in Your robes of white. If possible, Lord, help us to love You with the same love that You have for us. Thank You, Jesus, for clothing us in Your righteousness.  

We praise Your name forever!  

And I just now heard, “Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ,” So I looked it up for the rest of the verse and the reference. 

Romans 13:14 But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. 

AMEN!

New Leadership to Raise Up Saints

Franklin Walden, Sr.

"For the Lord would say unto His children ... Know now that which lies ahead. As I send My judgment upon the earth and into all the world, all they who seek My face and seek after My righteousness and seek to do My will and to be led by My Spirit shall not be overtaken. But they shall rise above and thou shalt be upon thee.

"When the storms, the earthquakes, the pestilence, the diseases; when all these things come in the beginning of the days of sorrow; none shall come to thy house.

I will preserve My children and My Spirit shall rest upon them. But they must seek My face. They must not be entertained by anything of this world nor give themselves to that which is unholy, for I am the Lord their God. Thou canst watch and thou shalt see. When thou seest this come to pass, thou shalt understand that what I have said in the Spirit bears out in the natural. For soon there shall come a shaking in all the kingdoms of the earth; for they are not of Me. Just before I am to set up My kingdom, there shall be a shaking of all the earthly kingdoms.

Another great leader, as mankind looks at the greatness of man, shall be assassinated. (We know that a President Trump will be assassinated but JFK Jr. will take his place, who is a Christian and is the Vice-President of the Republic now. He is prepared to take over.) Thou shalt know that thou hast heard and it has not been spoken by man, but God has spoken through man and thou have no fear, for your trust is placed in Me. Thou must not be fretful, but thou must be content and at rest, for I am your rest.

Other things shall happen in these last days; volcanoes shall continue to erupt. Earthquakes shall continue to come. Diseases that have not been known to man shall break out and many shall break out, and many shall be afflicted. For the plague of death is in the world today because My people have turned to follow the ways of man and not My ways.

I would say to thee that thou must become sensitive to My Spirit. My angels that are encamped around about thee will guard over thee. They shall protect thee and thou will have no fear for thou knowest My voice.

The plague that shall come, medical science will not have an answer for many shall die but unto you who are under My umbrella; it shall not come nigh thy door. Be not afraid but trust in Me, saith the Lord.

I am going to place a heavy anointing upon all of My servants. (Jesus will come as the latter rain anointing on the Man-child reformers.) This anointing that comes upon My servants shall flow to those sheep that I have set them over. (Just as Jesus breathed on the Apostles.) They shall know that it is a work that I am doing. The gifts shall be manifested in the lives of the believers. No longer shall thou be as thou was for that which was inside thee that thou longed to have an outlet for; I am going to open up the doors. Thou art going to be filled with My joy. My joy is going to give thee strength in every battle that thou fightest in.

Prepare thyself to read My Word. Study it. Meditate on it. Hide it in thine heart. Pray and seek My face. Seek after My righteousness, for I am going to fill all My servants, that I have set over My flock, with My wisdom and My knowledge and they will not walk in darkness but will understand every move of Satan.

I will reveal all the strategies of Satan and give them the strategy of God so My people can pull down the strongholds and cause the kingdom of Satan to crumble. Behold! I am coming soon, saith the Lord.

There is a spirit of error in the land today that is saying, 'Go there in the desert and you will find Jesus', or "Go there to the mountains for that is where He is.” Do not be misled.

This same spirit of error is saying that Jesus does not exist today and that there is no second coming. it is even trying to convince my people that I do not exist. The spirit of error is pulling and teaching to go back under the law and denying the grace of God. Beware of the spirit of error because it is a great spirit of deception. Do not let this spirit of deception cause you to turn from My ways. For if thou turn away from that which I have given thee, thou shalt surely stand before me in want and when thou art weighted in the balances thou wilt come up wanting.

There is a spirit of error in the land that comes as in My name, saith the Lord, that causes you to have respect of persons. It causes you not to love all of My creation. This spirit will bring a barrier between the races. Know that this spirit is not of me, saith the Lord. It is a wrong spirit, for I am the Creator of all things and all things that I have created, I have loved.

Any spirit that comes into thy midst and causes you to hate any of My creation is not of Me. Any spirit that causes you not to be able to fellowship with all My people; that spirit is not of Me. For there are many spirits in the land today, but there is only one true Spirit - the Spirit of the Holy Ghost. Your eyes shall be opened to understanding and not be blinded in error when thou totally trust in Me, thus saith the Lord.

I would speak and say now... though the spirit is a religious spirit, it does not testify of Me. It exalts the flesh and the man and not Me. It draws attention to those who have made themselves apostles who are not apostles, those who have made themselves prophets who are not prophets, who have gone and said I sent them when I did not. But I have not sent them to cause My people to be in confusion. Confusion is Not of me but is from Satan.

Know that even this year thou shalt see great changes. One change shall be in My people who have cause to humble themselves and seek My face. I am the Lord thy God.

My eyes are upon the righteous but the wicked shall come to a bitter end. All the false prophets and those who have denied My name shall perish. A spirit of confusion shall come upon them and they shall go from one error to another until they will be destroyed through their own ungodly ways.

Now, My children, let he that hath an ear to hear, let him hear what the Spirit saith. For what the Spirit saith. For what lies ahead of us is victory. It is not a time to draw back, but it is a time to press forward. It is not a time to say 'What's the use?' but it is a time to say 'We must do it'. It is a time we must put our minds together, all having the mind of Christ, that we might make up the hedge and stand in the gap in this evil generation.

Soon thou shalt see a manifestation of My Spirit such as thou hast not seen in this generation. It shall be a full impact of My power and everything that can be shaken will be shaken. But My children shall stand sure on that Rock and the revelation which I have given them. They shall not be shaken.

Know that I am in the midst of thee - and all that happened... has been of Me, saith the Lord. Thou shalt see greater things in the Body of Christ. Walls shall crumble, differences shall be dissolved, peace shall reign from the bosom of my children. My love shall flow among them, and they shall have compassion for one another. They shall stand together and never be defeated because their faith standeth not in man but in Me, saith the Word of the Lord".

(At this point, the Lord showed me the following vision which I feel compelled to share.)

In the Spirit, the Lord showed me a great crack coming into the earth. It opened up and many people were destroyed through this tragedy. The crack was so big that automobiles were sinking into the earth.

The voice of the Lord said, "Know that when thou hearest about this that it will bring your mind back to what I have said. But fear not, My children, for I am with you always".

 

Saints Enter Wilderness; U.N. Swallows World

Jonathan (David’s notes in red)

In this dream, I saw an image of the world as it appeared to suck into itself. A voice said, "It is using itself to support itself". The voice also said, "The U.N. will suck everything into itself, including the U.S., taking every source and resource to support itself in the order to come". (A revival of the old UN?)

A feeling of dread and painful sacrifice came over me. I thought that I had already sacrificed a lot for the Lord, but not as much as they were looking for. I was taken to a scene in a desert (The Wilderness Tribulation), and the voice was telling me about a strategy that this desert served. I heard the voice say, "This is a training ground for a select group of people and those whose hearts and minds are ready will go through it and have life. However, one will lose his life in this desert area". (We must lose our life in this world to have His life. Mat.16:24-26 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25 For whosoever would save his life shall lose it: and whosoever shall lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26 For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life? or what shall a man give in exchange for his life?)

I experienced the feeling of suffocation and excruciating pain in this desert area. Again, one will die going through it. I started heading toward it, and death started to overwhelm me. A force came, trying to pull me back, but at the same time letting me go, which added to the suffering. It also seemed to be tickling my arm at the same time. I could hear the voice say, "One cannot go through this preparation and death without their mind and heart solely on the Lord. You will die if you don't have your mind on Christ as the One who will see you through". (Many of the Israelites fell in the wilderness through unbelief.)

Php.2:1-5 If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions, 2 make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind; 3 doing nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself; 4 not looking each of you to his own things, but each of you also to the things of others. 5 Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

1Pe.4:1-2 Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin; 2 that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.

After I woke up, this came to me: You have to go through it wholeheartedly, not of selfish ambition, like Peter did in Joh.13:36-38 Simon Peter saith unto him, Lord, whither goest thou? Jesus answered, Whither I go, thou canst not follow me now; but thou shalt follow afterwards. 37 Peter saith unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow thee even now? I will lay down my life for thee. 38 Jesus answereth, Wilt thou lay down thy life for me? Verily, verily, I say unto thee, The cock shall not crow, till thou hast denied me thrice.

But for the love of the Good Shepherd more than yourself, as in (Joh.21:15-18) So when they had broken their fast, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. 16 He saith to him again a second time, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Tend my sheep. 17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of John, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. 18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.

These passages later came to mind:

Joh.14:1-6 Let not your heart be troubled: believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I come again, and will receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. 4 And whither I go, ye know the way. 5 Thomas saith unto him, Lord, we know not whither thou goest; how know we the way? 6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Rev.12:5 And she was delivered of a son, a man-child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne. 6 And the woman fled into the wilderness, where she hath a place prepared of God, that there they may nourish her a thousand two hundred and threescore days. And verse 11 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death.

A song also came to me. It went something like this:

Holy, Holy

Are You, Lord God Almighty

Worthy is the Lamb

Worthy is the Lamb

 

Saints Advance In Training

Anonymous 9/20/22 (David’s notes in red)

The other night I asked the Lord, “Why do I always get attacked in the spiritual?” For example: battles with witchcraft, fear, etc. Then I heard (paraphrasing): “We need to conquer in the Spiritual, so when it happens in the physical, it will be done. For example, if people physically try to hurt us, we don’t give into fear or doubt but instead believe that they can’t touch us, no weapon formed against us will prosper and they can’t touch us.” (We speak and act in faith, bringing into existence the things we need or want to happen, and overlook those things in natural that tend to cast down our faith. This is walking by faith in the Spirit.)

I then dreamt that David Eells, Michael (Michael means, “who is like God”), a very dear sister, and I, along with many other brethren, were staying at this home. It had many buildings, kind of like a school, and we all lived there. It was located on a big hill right next to a beach, and there was a forest area surrounding the building on the other side. The beach water was only around 30 meters from the building’s location. Since it was sitting up on a hill, when we looked out from there, we had a very nice view of everything around the area. The closest neighbor was very far away. (A training school for UBM and a blessing.)

Michael was leading our study classes. He was speaking to us all as he showed us around. I followed very closely behind Michael; I was at his back the whole time, asking questions and speaking with him. Other brethren (that I didn’t know) were following a distance behind me. I felt a little guilty that maybe I should stop following Michael so closely and walk behind the others, but I had so many questions for Michael, and I wanted to hear every little thing he said. (Jesus said inMat.7:7 Ask and you shall receive, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you. Mary chose to sit at the Lord’s feet, listening to Him.)

There was much talk about the Man-child and many end-time events. We were all extremely hungry for God. (These people are drawn to Him. Psa.65:4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, That he may dwell in thy courts... Mat.5:6 Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.)

At one point, all the brethren were in a large room with a giant screen taking up almost a whole wall. We were seated on couches and watched an Outreach Zoom meeting on the screen; there were many people we didn’t know…

I remember hearing some of the elders discussing that we all should be fellowshipping with each other more every day, not in a religious way, but letting the Holy Spirit determine how long we fellowship for each day. But it was emphasized to be communing with brethren more every day, not on self or worldly things, but to be in deep prayer together, in the Word and discussing Father and Jesus in Spirit and Truth. (Because of the many curses from the factious satanists in order to divide, it is important for the Body to stay accountable to one another. One of the devil’s tactics is to get people isolated from the rest of the Body and take them out with division. The enemy has used their slander, deception, witchcraft and many curses to divide the flock. They are only able to get those who disobey the Word, which keeps us safe.

Heb.3:12-13 Take heed, brethren, lest haply there shall be in any one of you an evil heart of unbelief, in falling away from the living God: 13 but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called To-day; lest anyone of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin: Heb.10:24-25 and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works; 25 not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as ye see the day drawing nigh.

We pray for unity and for all to be together in one accord, waiting for the anointing to come like they did at Pentecost, when they received the promise of the Father. Act.1:14 These all with one accord continued stedfastly in prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place. Act.2:46-47 And day by day, continuing stedfastly with one accordin the temple...)

 

Our Training

From one part of the building, you could see further down the beach. Between the water and the side of a cliff there was a pathway. At the front of this path sat a cannon. David Eells said that when the cannon goes off, the enemy will start coming to us from over there. (The cannon represents the approach of the enemy and could represent “the first trump”, and the beginning of the tribulation - Rev 8:7) We were told that we had to exercise our faith and believe the Word. No weapon formed against us will prosper; we are dead to sin and alive unto God in Christ Jesus; it’s not us that lives but Christ that lives in us; we tread on snakes and scorpions, and nothing will harm us, etc.

The cannon soon went off, and I ran over to the spot where I could see the enemy coming out of the forest and water near the cannon and they were moving towards us. I saw weird, creepy-looking creatures that I had never seen before, some white, red, black, in different shapes and sizes. (Eph 6:12  For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.) They were creepy. In the natural, what I saw was scary and caused fear, panic, doubt, and unbelief, which I had to cast off. (Luk.10:19 Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you.)

They quickly advanced to the building, and some people tried to hide in the building, but the creatures walked straight through the building, directly to them. (Fear is faith in the enemy and the curse. There is no hiding from them. They are conquered by the Word and Faith.)

Some people ran, but they couldn’t run fast enough to get away; there was no escape. I was constantly battling fear and doubt. I was trying to only think on scripture and speak it, believe it, and not give in to what I was physically seeing. Some creatures tried to grab me, but I thought, “No weapon formed against me can prosper, they can’t touch me.” and they went on to someone else. I walked around the buildings, witnessing the brethren fighting these creatures using the Word and God being faithful to His Word. But those that didn’t have faith and use the armor of God were taken out by these creatures.

I was outside, and more of these creatures approached me and tried to get me, but I knew that they couldn’t touch me, and they knew it too as soon as I thought that. Then suddenly, I jumped so high onto the top of a really tall tree, and I could see the enemy below and everything from afar. I was able to fly from tree to tree quickly. I had a view of everything that was going on. I was protected and kept safe throughout the whole training, even until all the creepy things went away. (This represents abiding in the heavens in Christ, where we have every spiritual blessing.)

This whole dream felt like training and preparing for the end times and Man-child to lead us.

 

Tribulation War on the Saints

Diana McIlroy - 11/10/2009 (David's notes in red)

I dreamed that I was walking down the street in a city (Babylon) and outside of a large building I saw a sign that read: Christian prayer meeting inside. (The Harlot.) I thought that it would be great to fellowship with some other Christians and proceeded to walk inside.

It was very dark when I walked in. It was taking quite a while for my eyes to adjust from the light outside to the interior darkness. (The harlot Church living in darkness.) As I was walking down the hallway that I entered, I was walking slowly because I couldn't see and I didn't want to bump into anything.

At the end of the hallway, I suddenly realized that I had walked into a pool hall (a competition for position), rather than the auditorium I had been expecting. I stopped walking and looked around. Everyone in the pool hall turned and looked at me, right when I stopped. As I looked at them, I knew that they were all demon-possessed, and I also knew that they wanted to kill me. It was evident that they had been luring Christians into the building with the express purpose of killing them. (They are demon-possessed and bring death to many through seductive teachings and anointings. Rev.18:2 And he cried with a mighty voice, saying, Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great, and is become a habitation of demons, and a hold of every unclean spirit, and a hold of every unclean and hateful bird. Pro.2:16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, Even from the foreigner that flattereth with her words; 17 That forsaketh the friend of her youth, And forgetteth the covenant of her God: 18 For her house inclineth unto death, And her paths unto the dead. Pro.5:3 For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil: 4 But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword. 5 Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on Sheol.)

As I started to back up, I realized that a few men had stepped in behind me to stop me from leaving. (They will do anything to keep you there.) There was a pool table off to my right, so I stepped behind it, feeling a little more protected with the wall at my back and the pool table between myself and my would-be attackers. They started walking toward me, full of venom and menace, and I picked a pool cue off the table and was holding it in a defensive manner. (Fleshly defense will not help.) Suddenly, my attention was drawn to the man at their center -- their leader -- Satan himself. (Satan is depicted in Isa.14:4,12,13 as the king of Babylon who exalts his throne above the stars of heaven, which are the seed of Abraham, the saints.)

There he was as big as life, looking very pleased and wearing a green golf shirt (confirming for me, my long-held suspicion, that only Satan could be responsible for that game and its hold over people). (Green is the color of Satan's "save the planet, kill the people" politics that are taking over. Golf is, again, competition for position.) I knew that if I could stop him that all of his minions would also be stopped. So I boldly looked at him and said, "I cast you out in the name of Jesus". He chuckled and said, "It's not as easy as that, girlie". I thought to myself that if I resisted him I thought that he was supposed to flee. He just laughed and motioned for some of his people to get me. (Our words have no authority if we resist in the flesh.)

As they approached, I suddenly looked down at the pool cue in my hands and put it back on the table. Instead, I lifted my hands to the Lord and started praising and worshiping Him. As I was praising and worshiping --thanking God and thanking Jesus -- it became lighter where I was standing. (Praise dispelling the darkness.) I felt no fear -- only peace and happiness. The demon-possessed tried to attack me but couldn't reach me. As I wondered about that, I noticed that there was an angel on either side of me, preventing anyone from touching me. I knew that I was safe as long as I praised God and didn't defend myself. (Fleshly physical defenses hinder God's defense because He said, "My power is made perfect in weakness".) Then I woke up.

Another dream

A new hotel had been built in town. It was quite big, particularly for the small town we live in. It was built in a U shape, three stories tall. The bottom part of the U was the part facing the street, and it was the entire length of the longest block in town. I knew that there were some structural problems with the building and that a big fire was coming. Because of the building problems, the building was going to go up like a giant tinderbox. (Possibly the U stands for the United States coming into Unity to persecute the saints.)

It was the grand opening and the hotel was almost full. (A hotel is a community of people joined house to house. Isa.5:8 Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land! 9 In mine ears [saith] Jehovah of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant. No one will be left out of this United house but God's people. They will be united against His people. Notice, a big fire is coming to the U.S.) There was a meeting in the conference room on the top floor where all the investors and "authorities" were meeting. I went and walked into their meeting and tried to tell them about the problems and the coming fire. They were all old men and didn't want to listen to a younger woman. (I had the impression of looking at the painting of the founding fathers of the U.S. when I first walked in there.) They had me shown to the door, as it were. (The new founding fathers of the United States are the old men who are the elite owners and authorities and who will want no more advice from Christianity.)

I thought that I couldn't let all these people die just because the leadership wouldn't listen. I started going through the halls, knocking on doors and telling people that the place was going to catch fire and they needed to get out. (Rev.18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues: 5 for her sins have reached even unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities... 8 Therefore in one day shall her plagues come, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God who judged her.)

Some people listened and grabbed their stuff and left. Some scoffed at me and went back to their TVs and their beds. On the bottom (maybe even basement) floor, there were some people in the rooms who wouldn't come to their doors. They didn't speak the same language that I did, and so they didn't understand what the knocking and shouting was about. (Zep.3:9 For then will I turn to the peoples of a pure language. Many apostates on the bottom level of Christianity do not understand the prophetic language of warning through dreams, visions, and prophecies.)

Just as I ran out of the hotel, it burst into flames. (Great tribulation is about to overtake the U.S. Christians on all levels.) I turned to look and all floors were engulfed at one time -- there was no escaping this inferno. I was so sad at the thought of the people who wouldn't heed the warning and died. Just as I thought I couldn't bear the grief of it, God told me to turn around. When I turned, I saw people standing in the street, many in their pajamas. (These came out from among them.) He said, "Rejoice for those who were saved".

 

Saints Accused of Being Traitors

Deborah Rennier - 10/07/2008

In a dream, I found myself standing in the midst of a great mass of people. They consisted of all the ethnic groups and races on earth. In the middle of this great mass, I saw a group of Spirit-filled believers. They were praying in tongues, and it seemed that they couldn't stop praying.

At first, the saints were unnoticed by the multitude surrounding them. These saints had Bibles which they were holding up and were shouting, "Stand on the Word of Jesus!"

Suddenly this changed. The multitude began to call the saints traitors and heretics. They were saying that these saints and anyone who listened to them were not loyal to the government.

The mob then began to pick up rocks and hurl them at the saints. The saints started screaming, "Come quickly, Jesus", as they held their Bibles aloft. The saints were being knocked down. They were bruised and bleeding. I watched as they all joined hands and began marching while singing psalms.

Those opposing the saints continued to throw rocks and bottles at them. The saints kept on marching and singing loudly. I watched as those in the crowd began grabbing Bibles from the saints, saying they couldn't own them.

I watched as they threw the Bibles into a fire, saying, "This is what our government thinks of your God."

The saints began talking amongst themselves. They were saying, "It is time for us to go underground for a while. We need to be watchful at all times". Then the populace said to the saints, "We will be watching for you and more of your kind. Traitors!" (Mat 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up unto tribulation, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all the nations for my name's sake.)

I then woke up and the Lord spoke, "This is upon you now".

He then led me to these scriptures:

Luk.21:34 But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly. 35 For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. 36 Watch therefore, and pray always that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.

Psa.31:23 Oh, love the Lord, all you His saints! For the Lord preserves the faithful, And fully repays the proud person.

 

Government Oppression of the Church

Amos Scaggs - 04/08/2009

I heard, "There is a time coming when the Gospel will be taught with permission only". (That Gospel will not have the power to save.)

I saw the true Gospel taught in fields, under trees and along fence lines. (This is not the mainstream church.)

 

Hiding in Plain Sight from the Beast

Jeff Brown - 10/08/2007 (David’s notes in red)

Not long ago, I dreamt about the wilderness and grizzly bears. I was with a guide, and we were out in this large field. As we walked in the field, we came upon this cabin. We were not far, but had to hurry to it because the grizzlies were everywhere! Inside, we could see the bears on the outside and they were able to see us. They were running around, trying to no avail to enter the cabin. We ran to get out of the sight of the bears and had to keep running so the bears would not see us through the windows. Then we hid in a closet and came out when the coast was clear. The bears were all still there, but we walked among them in peace, despite the fact that there were bears still everywhere! I stood still and watched the guide (possibly Jesus in the Man-child) walk up to the bears and put his hand in the paw of the main bear, which I thought was a male.

At the end of the dream, we walked out of the field toward the trees.

(The large field is the world as Jesus said, and the cabin represents living in the wilderness to come. The guide may be Jesus in the Man-child. The bears who were everywhere seeking to devour the Christians are the Beasts of the nations making war on the Saints. Hiding in the closet represents hiding in Christ through the prayer closet so that from then on, you could hide in plain view and depart the field of the world in peace.)

G. C.

I read Jeff Brown's dream. I had almost the same exact dream a few weeks before it. I would say it was in September of 2007.

I was in a wilderness setting, surrounded by trees, like I was in a forest or something. I remember this being like a nightmare because I was being hunted and surrounded by terrible grizzly bears that had demonic faces and features. During a large portion of the dream, I was being chased by them. I remember going into a large cabin and hiding in the rafters while they laid siege to the cabin. I thought I would never escape them, until I finally ran outside and climbed a very tall chain-link fence and made it to the other side.

(The chain-link fence represents abiding in Christ, the secret place of the Most High in Psalm 91.)

 

Jan Albayalde - 10/09/2007

After all the bear dreams the saints are suddenly having, I just have to tell you this quick encouraging story of God's provision and protection of all that is ours. This happened just minutes ago where I live in Alaska.

I had just let the dogs out the back door and was in the middle of putting a roast in the marinator when I suddenly had the overwhelming sense that I should get the dogs back in the house, so I stopped right there in the middle of what I was doing. I went out to the back of the house, and there were no dogs. So I went and looked out the front window, and there was my littlest dog,Nelson, an 8-pound male, sniffing down the middle of the road. I ran out, and just as I grabbed him, this man on a bicycle came by and said, "You better get that dog in the house because there's a bear on the road".

I went back inside, and immediately looked out the window as I got inside the house, and sure enough there the bear was, walking right where Nelson had been ten seconds before. Nelson would be perfect bear bait.

If God is that mindful of us, what have we to fear?

 

In this Time Prophecy

Glynda Lomax – 5/14/26

My children, a time I forewarned you of approaches. The world is preparing to remove Me from all that is. They will not succeed at this, but they will try.

In this time, it will become a crime to witness of Me. You will not be able to hide the fact that you are Mine, for I have ordained this to be so, but do not fear for whatever you endure for My Name’s sake; I am with you throughout and you are greatly, greatly rewarded for all eternity.

In this time, many of My people will strive to hide the fact that they are Mine. This displeases Me greatly, and I desire that you would not attempt to hide My light under a bushel. Trust Me as this begins and do not cling to your lives, fearing death, for there is nothing to fear about death for those who love Me and endure persecution.

Know too that those who persecute you shall answer to Me personally, and they will not enter heaven unless they repent.

Be My bold witnesses in the earth. This is the time of the end when all scripture must be fulfilled.

2 Tim 3:12 Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

John 15:18 If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before [it hated] you.

1 Peter 3:14-16 But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy [are ye]: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled; 15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: 16 Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.

Matt 5:10 Blessed [are] they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Matt 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.

Matt 10:32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.

Acts 7:59-60 And they stoned Stephen, calling upon [God], and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. 60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. (Fell asleep is a peaceful way to say this but some will experience this peace when changing addresses.)

Rev 13:6-8 And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 7 And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

 

Saints Dying During the Tribulation

Anonymous Sister in Africa - 11/16/2012 (David's notes in red)

As I was reading the dream, Earthquake Creates Ship of Light Revival (which I share below), I remembered a dream I had, but had never thought of sending it to you until yesterday. I was having lunch when the Holy Spirit commanded me to type it out. He even guided me as I wrote it.

I had a dream on 11/16/12. I wrote it down shortly after I had it at 9:37. (I have been listening to UBM teachings since 2007 and all this time I have not listened to end time teachings because I wanted to grow in the Lord first, and since there is a lot of interpretation on when and what will happen, I decided to wait on the Lord to teach me on the subject.)

I dreamt we were a group of UBM members in Israel (representing the Church) but outside the city. (Outside Jerusalem which is called the Bride by John, but she was saved. This does not mean this sister will not ultimately be in the Bride; this is for our teaching.) We were in something that I believe was an ark or boat floating on air. (The spiritual ark of abiding in Christ in heavenly places.) It was clear and oval-shaped, divided into a top and bottom section. (This ark represents those who are in heavenly places in Christ but not in the heavenly city that the angel called the Bride in Revelation 21:9,10.) Part of us were on the upper level while some were on the lower level. I was with a group of those who were on the upper level. Then the group on the lower level detached from us and went to Heaven, still inside their part of the ark. (Those on the lower level of the spiritual ark will die first and then go to Heaven.) The remaining part on the upper level kept floating on air. (In the safety of heavenly places in Christ.)

I then kept seeing a vision of us taken to Heaven repeatedly. (Some will die and go to Heaven and not be alive and remain until the Lord comes, but will come with Him. 1Th.4:13 But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that fall asleep; that ye sorrow not, even as the rest, who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven, with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first; 17 then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.)

So I became worried because the UBM members I was with thought we were being transported to some city or hiding place, so I told them that we were also going to Heaven in a few days. (Please understand that because one is in UBM does not mean they will escape death any more than being in the Church makes one in the Bride. This is what we have taught: those in UBM who do not enter the Bride, the spiritual city of Jerusalem, will die in the Lord and go to Heaven at different times during the tribulation. They will die either in judgments or as martyrs, which is an honorable and rewardable death. This is spoken in Rev.6:9 And when he opened the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of them that had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held: 10 and they cried with a great voice, saying, How long, O Master, the holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth? 11 And there was given them to each one a white robe; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little time, until their fellow-servants also and their brethren, who should be killed even as they were, should have fulfilled [their course]. We see here the two groups of saved martyrs. Also, we see that for a soul to be absent from the body is to be at home with the Lord. 2Co.5:8 we are of good courage, I say, and are willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be at home with the Lord.)

In my vision, there was a Christian lady I call "Millicent" in real life, but her actual name is Andrea (meaning "manly or like man"), who was not part of UBM but was on the ground underneath the ark and every time we were transported to Heaven, she remained. (Those who are like man are not in the ark and cannot go to Heaven.) Seeing that we were not ready to go to Heaven, I told them that in the visions, every time we are transported, Andrea remains, so we should find a way to secure ourselves to her so that we may not be transported to Heaven, since whatever transports us is very much more powerful than us and it seems to be a powerful wind. I then advised them to cast concrete on her with bolts and anchor our ark to her so that we didn't get transported when the time came. We did so, but when the time came, the ark detached from her and we got transported to Heaven, and she remained. (No matter what we do for those outside the ark, they will remain earthly, unless they learn to abide in Jesus, Who is our Ark. It doesn't matter if they call themselves Christian; only if they are repented, faith-filled disciples.)

(I heard the word "cancer". I also heard the number 60. I thought of a certain man who is 53 years old now and I thought it could happen when he is 60. This man was also part of the UBM group that was in the top section; he is a pastor in real life. [Seven years from now could be close to the end of the deaths and martyrdoms and the time of the coming of the Lord.])

My second dream was in the early hours of 11/17/12. This time I was observing from a distance, and it was not yet time to be transported to Heaven (but it was to happen in the near future) and the UBM group was staying in one place and this time they knew that they were about to go to Heaven and were excited to be leaving. (Yes! Amen!) Andrea was still not going to be transported to Heaven.

I think this dream is related to another one I had on 7/15/11, a week before my sister went to Heaven. My sister was sick. I had a dream that I was in the town where I currently live, facing northwest, when I saw Jesus Christ in the clouds behind me, and He told me that my sister had to come home and that she is one of the clouds of witnesses. I saw a round, golden light ascending to Heaven, representing my sister's soul and as I looked further, I saw the rest of Africa from where I was standing. There were other golden lights ascending to Heaven. I saw a few from Zambia and a lot of them in regions around Nigeria/Ghana, representing saints going to Heaven.

When I woke up, I kept wondering if the rapture will happen during my lifetime, since Jesus Christ mentioned that my sister was one of the cloud of witnesses. (This dream is related because we see the saints going home through deaths of various kinds and in different places. The rapture will follow when this is finished because the dead in Christ rise first.)

I don't know if I remembered this song in the dream or when I woke up. It's a song in my language, and it goes like this: When Jesus Christ comes back the Saints on Earth will meet Him in the clouds, accompanied with people dressed in white and those coming from Earth will ask, "Who are they?" And Jesus will reply, "Those I have washed in the blood".

 

Earthquake Creates Ship of Light Revival 

D. C.- 12/01/2012 (David's notes in red)

I had this dream the Saturday before Thanksgiving. This is the first dream I had in a long time, so it really stood out. It wasn't very long, but it was very vivid.

I was standing outside, somewhat above the ground, looking out over the TN Valley. I could see the mountains to one side. Cities and towns spread out past the horizon. I could see people going about their daily lives. Now what was odd about this scene was that there wasn't any color to anything, just shades of gray and black. Everything was like that: the sky, ground, trees, grass, and most of all, the people. The people were black!

Then I saw the whole valley start to move like waves of water. People started to panic. There was fear and confusion in the screams I heard. Then the earth opened up. Not just a crack, but a huge expanse of space separated one side from the other. It looked to be miles wide. Huge pieces of earth were falling into the chasm. Whole city blocks would just break away and fall into the darkness below. I could also see many people falling away as well. At one point, I could feel their hopelessness as they tumbled into the abyss. (What we know from many dreams and the fault lines is, there are two fault lines that will open up and fill with water from the TN River, one on both sides of the valley making a ship/ark shaped valley, which became a refuge from terrible things happening in the world past the fault waters. This is the sad part. Without death and destruction, people won't repent; there would be no revival. Pray for the elect to be moved out of the way or be spared.)

Then something wonderful happened. I saw a ship. It's hard to describe what kind of ship it was. Definitely one that was made to sail on water. However, this one looked like it was sailing on air! (meaning it was heavenly) There wasn't any water in the chasm yet, but the ship looked like it was on water. It looked to be riding on gentle waves while all hell was breaking loose around it.

I could still see people falling, though the ship gave the impression that it was on water. Now, as fantastic as that sounds, what the ship looked like was even more amazing! It looked to be made out of light! The purest, brightest light I have ever seen. And not just white light. At times throughout the ship, waves of color would flow from it. For those of you who have seen the Northern Lights or a very intense rainbow after a summer storm, those colors would come closest to the ship's appearance. (The rainbow was a symbol that God would never destroy all mankind again.)

The ship came to a stop. At this point, I realized how big the ship was. It took up almost the same space as the hole that the earthquake had created. What I saw next broke my heart. I could still see people falling into the earth, as if they couldn't see this huge, bright, shining ship waiting to take them aboard. But what I saw next brought tears of joy to my eyes. Among all the people who were rejecting the safety of the ship, a few were receiving the outstretched hands of those who were on board. At this point, I should mention that those on the ship were also shining with a bright light, the same as the ship. As the "black" people were brought safely onboard, one of the people of "light" would place their hand over the heart of the dark person. And starting from where their hand was, light would begin to spread across the "black" person's body until they too were of the same light. I could see this same scene repeating throughout the ship. (I would love to paint this scene.) (In other dreams, revival came when earthquakes judged the country and economy.)

A few days later, D.C.’s wife awoke to the music of "Anchors Away" playing over and over in her head. She didn't know what the tune was and, when asking the Lord, got the word "Anchor" and realized it was "Anchors Away". Of course, this means the ship is about to set sail. She asked what this was related to and got Ezekiel 20:1-17. This text speaks of the people whom Father brought out of Egypt as a type of salvation but many died in the wilderness because of their disobedience to His commands and never made it to the "Promised Land", which to us is abiding in Jesus and, in a more natural way, this ship.

 

Saints Dawning Light in Fall

Bill Steenland - 07/26/2015 (David's notes in red)

I had a short vision this morning; I was awake with my eyes closed.

I was floating forward on a bed or something. (Resting by faith in the promises.) I was going down a road in the wilderness. As I looked to my right, I saw a large number of trees with a house under them. The trees were at least 100 feet tall. (A time of maturity for some.) It was the fall season. (Fall is a timing when this fruit will be manifest to some in the body as others Fall Away?) The leaves were changing and were a golden yellow. (Death to self, crucifixion accomplished.) They were lit up by the morning sun so bright. Just the tops of the trees with the golden leaves were in the sun. I looked forward and was still moving forward. I thought, "Wow, that was more beautiful than anything I would see on earth." (Because it is a Heavenly work.)

I looked forward and there was a little hill about 10 feet high that led to a large valley. The sun (Son) was shining down the road perfectly. I knew when I went over this little hill that I would see the sun (Son) straight on face-to-face and that I would have to squint. 1Co.13:12 For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known. 13 But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love. I knew that the valley was large on the other side and that it was totally covered in the morning light. (The large valley means much freedom will be given to those who are overcoming testings now.)

I believe that the 10-foot hill in the dream is a hump (of trials or testing) many are about to get over before we see Jesus in the mirror and manifest Sonship. (And maybe before they see Jesus in the Man-child ministry, too.) I believe the trees before the hill were 100-fold saints who have the morning light in their hearts. The scripture is obvious that when the love comes, then the faith and fruit come through the revelation of Jesus in the mirror. 2Co 3:18  But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit. 

The Lord put these scriptures on my heart, as well. The dream is pointing to faith, but love is the exhortation given when the scriptures interpret the dream.

Gal.5:5 For we through the Spirit by faith wait for the hope of righteousness. 6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth anything, nor uncircumcision; but faith working through love.

1Co.13:1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And if I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profiteth me nothing. 4 Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 5 doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil; 6 rejoiceth not in unrighteousness, but rejoiceth with the truth; 7 beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. These are overcomers!

8 Love never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall be done away; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall be done away. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; 10 but when that which is perfect is come, that which is in part shall be done away. (In other words our immature understanding is done away by our mature understanding.) 11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a child: now that I am become a man, I have put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face☹When we see Jesus face to face we come to maturity.) now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known. 13 But now abideth faith, hope, love, these three; and the greatest of these is love.

1Jn.2:8 Again, a new commandment write I unto you, which thing is true in him and in you; because the darkness is passing away, and the true light already shineth. 9 He that saith he is in the light and hateth his brother, is in the darkness even until now. 10 He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is no occasion of stumbling in him. AMEN!

 

Those Who Have Not Awoken Yet Will Have Their Time To Do So,
But If They Do Not, They Will Be Taken Out Of The Way

Alison Pound, 9/13/24

It should be noted that the following words from the Lord were given to me on Monday, 12th November 2012. We are now well into that time of awakening of which He speaks. It is written as it was given to me.

Today there are things happening in the spiritual realm of which you know not yet. For these things must take place in this heavenly realm before they can come to pass in the earthly realm. On earth, as in heaven. Sometimes you will not know for what you have interceded. But I will tell you today that something powerful is arising.

In the saints, I have caused an awakening. I have done this by the power of My Holy Spirit. Those who have been sleeping will be awakened. Some to the knowledge that they will not be alive on earth when I return. Some to the knowledge that I am going to use them mightily in these last days.

It is for Me to number the days of a man. For I choose who I will use to My glory. There are those who have wasted the anointing I have given. There are those who know Me but have continued to walk in the flesh. They will not have the help of My Holy Spirit and lean only on their own understanding.

But I am of the Spirit. And man is to walk in the Spirit.

The time has come for a line to be drawn. Those who have not walked and will not walk in the power of My Holy Spirit, I will begin to take now to be with Me for they will not play a part in the time of the end. I have been raising My end time saints, preparing them for service; they are a remnant.

Those who have not awoken yet will have their time to do so, but if they do not, they will be taken out of the way. Some will meet an end which is very distressing for the saints to see. But they must learn and know that I number the days of all peoples. And for some, they will be absent from the flesh and present with Me. It will be in an instant. The manner of their death will nevertheless be sudden, untimely and not what would have been of the utmost to My glory.

Then I am also raising up Stephens. Those whose faces will shine with the glory of My presence, for they will see on their departure, straight into heaven. I will show them in the sight of all where they are going to.

How glorious will be these last days when you shall be a part of the final solution for sin. I will do mighty works. My exploits will be so great as to make men tremble, their knees weak and their insides turn to water; yes, even the saints will tremble at the power in which I will demonstrate that I am the Lord God of heaven and earth.

But you, my beloved and all who call Me Father, Abba, you will also know and feel My great love and mercy toward you, that while you were yet sinners, Christ died for you. That you live in privileged days.

Be now prepared for what is ahead. Hold fast to Me, look not to the right or the left. When you see loved ones fall, trust in Me that I know what is best for each. When you see loved ones rise and awaken to My truth, rejoice. For it must be in these days, as though you were not married, as though you were not in business, as though you did not have children. For you must embrace a wider family and, to a certain extent, let go of the one you were born or married into. For I am preparing you for the next stage of eternity.

The Deceived Fall Away

David Eells, 10/7/26

(audio)

Cleansing By Delusion

Let me begin by saying that the Lord has been cleansing the Body of Christ of leaven and many have fallen away because they were not obedient to the Scriptures in their testing. They proved that they do not love the Word, Who is Jesus. Joh.6:66 Upon this many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

2Th.2:1 Now we beseech you, brethren, touching the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him; 2 to the end that ye be not quickly shaken from your mind, nor yet be troubled, either by spirit, or by word, or by epistle as from us, as that the day of the Lord is just at hand; 3 let no man beguile you in any wise: for [it will not be,] except the falling away come first, and the man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition(previously known as Judas). 4 he that opposeth and exalteth himself against all that is called God or that is worshipped; so that he sitteth in the temple of God, Temple here is the Greek word Naos used 9 times by Paul as the temple of God’s people, but never as the physical temple, which was called Hieron. …

…setting himself forth as God  This will be like Judas revealing “himself” as his own god by falling away.

Verse 6 And now ye know that which restraineth (the falling away), to the end that he may be revealed in his own season. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness doth already work: only there is one (falling away) that restraineth now, until he (Judas) be taken out of the way (Numeric: “Be come out of the midst”). 8 And then shall be revealed the lawless one (They refuse to obey scripture), whom the Lord Jesus shall slay with the breath of his mouth, and bring to nought by the manifestation of his coming; 9 even he, whose coming is according to the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 and with all deceit of unrighteousness for them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God sendeth them a working of error, that they should believe a lie: 12 that they all might be judged who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Here we see that we are not to be deceived and that the coming of the Lord in and for His church will not be except the “falling away come first and the man of sin be revealed”. This falling away is the tares being gathered together to be burned. Like Judas, this corporate son of perdition sits in the temple of God's people, in verse 4, “setting himself forth as god” and deceives those who do not love the truth (verse 10) with his lying signs and wonders (verse 9), who will be destroyed at the coming of the Lord.

Many will be beguiled by this corporate false Christian (verse 3). Before the coming of the Lord, God is sending a delusion (verse 11) to cleanse His church of those apostates who do not love truth. He is gathering the tares “in bundles to burn them” even now, but also in the day of the Lord.

In the tribulation, the mark of the beast will gather the tares in bundles to burn them. They will be “gathered out of His Kingdom” but not yet out of the earth: that happens when they die, but in a major way in the day/year of the Lord that follows.

In 70 A.D., the true disciples had fled to the mountains (The high places of God) as Jesus commanded, but the apostates were “gathered” into the city to be destroyed by the Roman Beast. The church will be prepared to meet the Lord, but the falling away of the man of sin must happen first to purge the leavened.

Mat.13:41-43 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that cause stumbling, and them that do iniquity, (This is happening) 42 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth. 43 Then shall the righteous shine (no spots and blemishes) forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He that hath ears, let him hear.

First, God will “gather out of his kingdom all that cause stumbling and they that do iniquity and shall cast them into the furnace of fire” (the Day of the Lord). “Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.”

Mat.13:49-50 So shall it be in the end of the world: the angels shall come forth, and sever the wicked from among the righteous, 50 and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: there shall be the weeping and the gnashing of teeth.

First, “he will sever the wicked from among the righteous” (verse 49); then He will come for His saints and destroy the wicked (2 Thessalonians 2:8).

Now let me share some revelations of these deceptions and delusions that have already caused, and will further cause, the unrighteous to fall away from the Truth.

 

The Dragon Show - A Great Deception

Amber Arney - 4/14/21 (David’s notes in red)

I dreamed that I was headed into the enemy's camp to gather information or to stop some plan or something similar. (The Lord warns us through dreams and visions about what is to come and what we need to pray for and do spiritual warfare against. Amo.3:6-7 Shall the trumpet be blown in a city, and the people not be afraid? shall evil befall a city, and Jehovah hath not done it? 7 Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing, except he reveal his secret unto his servants the prophets.)

Their camp was in a bowl at the bottom of a dark mountain. (The dark mountain represents the current ruling Beast kingdom of our day. Jer.13:16, Give glory to Jehovah your God, before he cause darkness, and before your feet stumble upon the dark mountains, and, while ye look for light, he turn it into the shadow of death, and make it gross darkness. i.e. repent while you still can.)

There was a great show going on and a huge group of people were gathered to watch the performance. It was a live show like a Broadway musical. It was colorful and bright and gay, with dragons flying in the air, like a Disney production. It seemed so magical, like a cartoon, only it was really happening. (There are multitudes of people who are still under great deception by apostate leaders, the MSM, and all their witchcraft, lies, and propaganda. Only God’s elect will awaken to the deceptions of the Dragon and then the Beast in these last days.)

2Pe:2:17-20 These are springs without water, and mists driven by a storm; for whom the blackness of darkness hath been reserved. 18 For, uttering great swelling words of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error; 19 promising them liberty, while they themselves are bondservants of corruption; for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he also brought into bondage. 20 For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein and overcome, the last state is become worse with them than the first.)

Something seemed very special about the air around the outside stage. It seemed as if the light was reflecting off “fairy dust” suspended in the air, so that everything sparkled magically. (Representing the attractions of the lusts of the flesh.) Everything else surrounding the stage was dark, and the sun was almost gone. (We are living in very dark times, and many people are being affected by this “fairy dust” that dumbs down the population and fogs up their minds, taking away any desire to fervently seek after God, by the many distractions of the internet, social media, and the FunVax or Fundamental Vaccine.

Eph.4:17-19 This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the Gentiles also walk, in the vanity of their mind, 18 being darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God, because of the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardening of their heart; 19 who being past feeling gave themselves up to lasciviousness (meaning, a license to excess), to work all uncleanness with greediness.)

I didn’t get a good look at the show because I was intent on making my way down one of the aisles toward the dark mountain that filled my view. (God’s elect who have sanctified themselves from the world will be keeping their eyes on the straight and narrow road represented by the aisle. Our mission is to destroy the works of the enemy and of darkness through faith, spiritual warfare and intercession for the elect.)

I went into the mountain and into a shop to get something fixed, like maybe a watch. (Indicating a timing). (This could mean that we need to get our timing fixed, representing that we are hearing and seeing much disinformation about the timing for certain events to occur? Or maybe it is that God is going to supernaturally fix the times we are living in through the Man-child anointing and the “Great Awakening revival”. Or both.)

There were two workers in this dark, cave-like workshop. There was a dim, dusty light filtering through a small, high window. The small ray of light also seemed to have this same “Fairy dust” in it, but it didn’t seem so magical in the dark room. The shadows were a dark blue color. (Mat.6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is the darkness.)

I waited while one of the workers tried to fix the watch or item I had brought in. The workers seemed intelligent, but something wasn’t quite right about them. (There are many false leaders preaching the rapture now instead of the falling away first. People in the alternative media realm are doing much slander and even putting out false timings for things, people, and events. 2Co.11:13-15 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light. 15 It is no great thing therefore if his ministers also fashion themselves as ministers of righteousness, whose end shall be according to their works.)

I knew the owner was away, so I decided to investigate the house. The rest of the house was light, clean, and modern. (This could represent the houses or lives of the GCR false prophets who seem to have really clean lives, but they have a deep, dark, hidden false New Age spirituality that they have fashioned into Christianity.)

This house or shop must have been in a mall because I happened to spy the owner through the glass storefront window. The owner was surrounded by oblivious shoppers as he made his way to the glass door. (So the mountain represents the beast system of buying and selling that is a large part of his kingdom. It is the means by which the Beast will eventually bring the lost into subjection to it. Rev.13:11-17 And I saw another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like unto lamb, and he spake as a dragon. 12 And he exerciseth all the authority of the first beast in his sight. And he maketh the earth and them dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose death-stroke was healed. 13 And he doeth great signs, that he should even make fire to come down out of heaven upon the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by reason of the signs which it was given him to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast who hath the stroke of the sword and lived.

15 And it was given unto him to give breath to it, even to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as should not worship the image of the beast should be killed. 16 And he causeth all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, that there be given them a mark on their right hand, or upon their forehead; 17 and that no man should be able to buy or to sell, save he that hath the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name.)

At first, I was worried that he would be angry with me for wandering around his house, but the owner seemed like a nice, professional guy. He spoke in a friendly manner, saying that the show was great now, but it would be amazing after he finished adding his touches. I knew that the show was happening now, but he would add something, like CGI effects on top of the live images, and then it would be released so that the general public could “enjoy” the show. Then I woke up. (This represents the increasing deceptions to the point that most people will be unable to discern falsehood from reality any longer. i.e., “deep fake videos” where AI and CGI are added, along with an AI-dubbed voice or face, to falsely implicate someone.

Mat.24:15-25 When therefore ye see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place (let him that readeth understand) (These sons of perdition will take the mark and still go to church, an abomination in the holy place.), 16 then let them that are in Judaea flee unto the mountains: 17 let him that is on the housetop not go down to take out things that are in his house: 18 and let him that is in the field not return back to take his cloak. 19 But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!

20 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on a sabbath: 21 for then shall be great tribulation, such as hath not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, nor ever shall be. 22 And except those days had been shortened, no flesh would have been saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. 23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is the Christ, or, Here; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. 25 Behold, I have told you beforehand. This will be very effective to separate the wheat from the tares, but beware the tares still go to church.)

 

Wilderness Path and the Falling Away

Gloria Greenwood - 06/21/2008 (David's notes in red)

In a dream, I was in a park-type wooded setting. It seemed like a campground, a park, or a small community where people lived. I seem to remember seeing campers as well as small homes, like little log cabins. (Many are headed toward the wilderness) It appeared I knew some of the people living in this place, but once I woke up, I could not bring any faces or names to mind. The one thing I do remember from this dream is that I was walking in this “park”. I was walking on a path which seemed to keep making me turn to the right; I had no other direction to go in. (Jesus placed the sheep on the right and goats on the left, so this is positive.)

On one of my turns to the right, facing me was a huge pile of broken tree branches on the left side of the path that I was walking on. (The goats on the left were broken off.) Some branches were very large. I noticed there were no leaves on these branches, just a pile of twisted bare tree limbs. (God's people are likened unto trees. When there are no leaves or fruit, it is because they are not taking in the Son and putting out oxygen (the Spirit) and water (the Word). This dismemberment means a great judgment and falling away of those living on the “left”. The very large branches can mean leadership. Observing this can keep us on the “right” path. In the wilderness, those leaders who brought the bad report and those who listened to them fell away as broken-off branches.

It says in Rom.11:20 Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by thy faith. Be not highminded, but fear: 21 for if God spared not the natural branches, neither will he spare thee. Joh.15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit, he taketh it away: and every [branch] that beareth fruit, he cleanseth it, that it may bear more fruit... 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.

On the right side of the path was a huge rock, probably 15-20 feet high and 6-8 feet long. (Psa.18:2 Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; My God, my rock, in whom I will take refuge; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower.) As I stood there, I knew the only way I could go was to keep walking straight; I did not want to turn around. But the path I was walking on was now obstructed by these tree branches. (Those falling away try to hinder the righteous from walking straight.) I thought to myself, “I need to keep walking”. I then took a few more steps, and now, on this path between the branches to my left and the rock to my right, the walk became more difficult. (Mat.7:13-14 Enter ye in by the narrow gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many are they that enter in thereby. 14 For narrow is the gate, and straitened the way, that leadeth unto life, and few are they that find it. The path becomes narrower to conform us to Christ's image.) I got halfway through this part of the path between the branches and the rock. I now had to balance myself on this path so I would not fall. (People will have to be balanced at this time, or they may fall away like the dead branches.)

On my left, the side of the huge pile of dead tree branches, it was like I was on the edge of a cliff now. (The branches that are broken off) The path ended, and there was a deep drop-off, like a ravine or a huge sinkhole. (the pit) As I clung to the rock on my right (Jesus) so I would not fall, I looked down to see if I could spot anything in this sinkhole. (Isa.51:1 Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek Jehovah: look unto the rock whence ye were hewn, and to the hold of the pit whence ye were digged.) To my surprise, I did look down. Lying at the bottom of the ravine was a very, very large dead sheep. (The great falling away. Eze.34:20 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto them: Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep (those full of flesh) and the lean sheep. Psa.57:6 They have prepared a net for my steps; My soul is bowed down: They have digged a pit before me; They are fallen into the midst thereof themselves.)

I remember feeling surprised at what I saw, saddened as well, but I also knew I needed to keep walking, to keep my footing on this narrow path. (Pro.2:20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, And keep the paths of the righteous. Psa.25:10 All the paths of Jehovah are lovingkindness and truth Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.) I did not want to slip and fall. So I kept clinging to the rock on my right and inched my way out until I was on normal, solid ground. (Holding to Jesus, the Word, until stability comes.)

There were two men standing there, and I told them about the dead sheep in the ravine. (After the falling away, the Word of the two witnesses will judge the apostates, and they will be spewed out of the Body of Christ.) They did not comment on the sheep; the only thing they said was that they were getting ready to clear away the tree branches. I sensed peace and calm from them. Then the dream ended.

 

Falling Away and Deception

P.S. - 11/27/2013 (David’s notes in red)

I dreamed we were moving. Brothers and sisters from the fellowship were helping us move. It was joyous and happy. We were all happy that we would be closer to each other. (This move literally just happened from December 13th to the 16th, shortly after he had this dream.) We were done moving (on the 16th) and then it jumped to two days later (the 18th - Wow, I heard parts of this dream from him a while back, but not this part. I was impressed to ask him to send this to me, and now I see that revelation is for today. How Sovereign is God? I believe Father is saying, “Pay attention today; there is a falling away happening.”)

In the dream, I was walking on the property with my family. The sky became inundated with these sparkling balls of lights like fireworks, but I had never seen anything like them before. They left tails as they fell to Earth. These sparkling balls were all coming in at a 45-degree angle. The first thing that caught my attention was that I didn't hear any explosions or see any destruction. It was quiet. I felt surprised by that because they kept coming more and more. I remember anticipating that I would hear some explosions but was surprised there weren't any. (It appears the sign of the falling away of the star glory Christians is happening in the spirit realm. God told Abraham that his seed were as the stars. Rev.12:4 And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth…

I had a Godly fear come over me. (This will save the elect from deception and falling away.) Not terror. My wife and children were peaceful. As the sparkler balls came closer, their attributes changed. The ones that were closest to the earth started spreading out and began searching. (As they fall away from heavenly places, they seek out others to follow them.) They were intelligent; they knew what they were doing and had a purposeful intent about them. (They know what they are doing, but they are given over to follow Satan, the Dragon.) Several of them came over to us and hovered around us (seeking to deceive as many as possible). One hovered over my head, came right in front of my face, and veered side-to-side. (They cannot stay on the narrow path without turning to the right or left.) They were very interested in us, and then suddenly were not and left. They were everywhere, continuing to search. (Satan is as a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour.) I didn't see anyone else. Then I woke up.

When I woke up and prayed and meditated on this, I was reminded of the verse in the Word that talks about one-third of the stars being cast from heaven: Rev.12:4 And his tail draweth the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon standeth before the woman that is about to be delivered, that when she is delivered he may devour her child. I feel very strongly that this dream reveals there is a spiritual separation happening. (He was warned but didn’t listen to this warning and was reprobated. Satan in the Dragon has been given 1/3 of the star glory people of God through the falling away from heavenly places in Christ. The dragon's tail is the deceivers. Isa.9:15 ... the prophet that teacheth lies, he is the tail. The fallen search out others to drag them down, but the righteous will remain firmly in Christ. The next step that follows after the falling away is Rev.12:5 And she was delivered of a son, a man-child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and unto his throne.)

 

Jezebel and the Falling Away

Chris Bland - 06/24/2009 (David’s notes in red)

I was given a very prophetic dream. I was watching a black-and-white movie starring David Eells and Clint Eastwood. (It is black and white because it deals with light and darkness; truth and error.)

In this dream, David played a character who had a place in his house set aside for people to come over and listen to Bible-based teachings straight from the word of God. (UBM radio/Internet Bible Study is the house people enter to listen.) Clint played a character who was becoming more and more offended by what he heard, but he was continually driven to come back for more, until one day, when he came with a woman with whom he had just begun to live in sin. (Clint represents those rough, tough characters who live by the sword but are drawn to the truth by God. But the flesh is drawn away and enticed by former lusts. Jas.1:14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. The woman is the harlot, with whom he is in sin.)

David went by his own name (having nothing to hide) and the character played by Clint, I will call “Jack”, and the woman, I will call “Jamie”, just for the sake of sharing this dream.

Jamie had an outward beauty and a gentleness about her that led Jack into deeper rebellion than he had already been living in. (She appeals to the flesh of those she is able to camouflage her rebellion to, but not those who love the Word. She is the Harlot whose Jezebel, factious spirit leads to unbelief.) Just when it seemed David's teachings were making a difference in Jack's life, Jamie came into his life. (The Harlot tempts Jack to reject what David teaches, even though the evidence of truth and good fruit is demonstrated. Many like the harlot for she loves the broad road.)

It broke David's heart to see Jack in this condition, but what more could he do? (It is a grief to see this happen to people like Jack.) David began to teach, and the things he said in such great humility sounded like the same straightforward teachings that Jack had come to admire from David, but as Jamie kept looking at Jack in disbelief, Jack was becoming increasingly offended. (Jezebel spirits always demand attention and submission. As Jack gives in, he becomes INCREASINGLY offended and unbelieving.)

Finally, David said something that led Jack to stand up in rage and express his disagreement with David. He was offended that David would speak such words while Jamie, his new acquaintance, was present. (Jack stumbles at the Word because of his relationship with the Harlot's Jezebel, factious spirit.) He spoke out a rebuke to David in the midst of the small assembly, and David tried to calm him down by having him look at the verses he was reading out of the Bible. (Those under the darkness of the spirit of Jezebel find it hard to believe the Scriptures, but the righteous try, for their soul's sake, to get through to them.)

Jack could think of no answer (He could no longer understand the Word or concentrate on it), and he could see that David's assembly was startled that he would oppose him like that (he does not understand the Spirit by which David speaks and sees the assembly react to his contrary spirit) and so he left with Jamie. (He became separated unto the Harlot.)

At first, David was not shaken. He seemed relieved that God would use such a teaching to remove such people from the assembly. After David had finished teaching the assembly, he asked one of his co-laborers to call up Jack to ask why he had left in such a great rage. Surprisingly, Jack answered the phone. He asked roughly, “What do you want?” (This spirit is always impatient, unforgiving, and not willing to listen to Scripture or any correction.) David's co-laborer shared a few words, and then David turned on the speakerphone and asked, “Why did you leave in such a rage?”

Jack replied, “To please my woman and to get away from you”. (Jack now serves the Harlot's Jezebel spirit and cannot stand the Word or David. This always happens when this spirit is recognized or corrected.) David asked, “What harm did I do to you? You didn't disagree with me, but the Word of God”. And after David shared a few words, Jack hung up. (He will not accept correction by the Word any longer. This is all very familiar. Those who have received factious, Jezebel spirits never take correction to save them.)

Jack poured two glasses of beer -- one for himself and one for Jamie. (Jack and the Harlot now both drink of the same spirits.) He warned her that this particular beer (spiritual drink) could cause sudden death if she drank it too fast. (Beer is made from grain, hops and YEAST, which is LEAVEN, i.e., that which is added to make it acceptable and intoxicating to the flesh. Jesus said, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees”. Exo.12:15 Seven days [the last seven days in Egypt represent going to the wilderness tribulation] shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. Notice how those partaking of the flesh-pleasing leaven are “cut off”.)

However, something strange began to happen. Just a few small sips of this beer (leaven) were all it took to drive them both into a state of madness. (The thoughts received from the leaven of these spirits make one unreasonable. The mind of Christ is in agreement with the Word, without which one becomes spiritually insane. 2Pe.2:16 But (Baalam) was rebuked for his iniquity: the dumb ass speaking with man's voice forbade the madness of the prophet. Spiritual insanity starts with just a little bit of leaven. “A little leaven leavens the whole lump.”)

Jack was not used to this effect; it was different this time. (He had been in this state before, but now he had heard the truth and turned away, only to be reprobated. Joh.15:22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no excuse for their sin. After hearing the truth, you are held responsible to obey it. Now it is a time of judgment and separation of the wheat from the tares.) He called out to Jamie, but she did not answer. She was lying on the floor with her cup half empty, still in her hand. (We can have no leaven in our house to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is the last seven days before leaving the world. Otherwise, spiritual death will follow.) It didn't take as much as Jack knew it should take to bring about that kind of effect. He tried to awaken her, but she was dead. (The Harlot is spiritually dead because she partakes of leaven/yeast and leads men like Jack, too. We must partake of the unleavened Word. 1Co.11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. He cried out and said, “I told you not to drink so fast or you could die”. As he began to cry, he too seemed to be drawing near to the point of death, even though it appeared he took in a lot less than he was used to drinking. (He was used to much error before coming to the truth, but now only a little ruins the fruit of “Christ in you, the hope of glory”. The Lord is trying His people now by the Jezebel spirit to show who will be reprobated, as the Pharisees and their followers were in Jesus' day. As God separates those who serve Jezebel and listen to faction and unbelief, they will be quickly exposed.)

Back to Chris: This is where the dream ended, before I could see the outcome.

I don't know about you, but I see the unleavened Word of God proclaimed by the Man-child or the Davids in the assemblies of the Bride of Christ. Those who give in to the Jezebel spirit of the fatally attractive Harlot are suddenly reprobated as sons of perdition who, along with her, get drunk with just a little of the false prophet's beer, which has the opposite effect of Christ's living water. God will protect and separate the Man-child and Bride from all the sons of perdition and Harlot who have heard their Words and turn back.

Heb.6:4 For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, 6 and [then] fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7 For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God: 8 but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned.

Back to Chris: As Christ's words are living water offered freely without cost, a “false” christ's words, preached by false prophets, are fatal water drunk by all who reject the living water. The sons of perdition, who are used to drinking the false prophet's teachings, will, along with the harlot, depart from the Man-child's teachings as in Jesus’ day, because their hearts will be hardened. They partake of one final drink of the false prophet's fatal water to their death. God will use this death so that they cannot rise up to become threats to the peace of those who remain in Zion.

It should also be noted that the Harlot in this dream had her hand in removing Jack from David's assembly just by her outward beauty and by the way she expressed her contempt for the things David was teaching. These two helped to kill one another. It will come about that all who yoke themselves with her will be reprobated from Zion, the house of the Man-child. This is not because the Man-child forces them out, but because the word of God (Christ), as a two-edged sword coming forth from the Man-child's mouth, drives them to separate from him and the Bride. The only thing that will make sense to these reprobates will be to drink the false prophet's fatal water, which will kill them. God will separate the Man-child and Bride from their leaven. So be it!

This may shock you, but this was a true story. We all knew this couple who fell away and were reprobated.

 

Falling Away from UBM

Joseph Lai - 04/25/2009 (David's notes in red)

I had a dream about David Eells teaching me the Word of God in an office building. (The offices put together in a building represent the UBM broadcast church. Eph.2:21 in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord; 22 in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.) He was quite oblivious to the people going out for lunch and leaving the office. (Because we are a broadcast fellowship, we are oblivious to people feeding outside our local body.) I was listening to him, but was wondering why he was so loud and did not bat an eyelid about talking about God and the Word. (Loud represents the ability to reach more people.) At the same time, I could see a shopping center outside the office through the transparent glass. (People were going out of the church to feed in the buying and selling of Babylon, both secular and religious.)

Crowds of people were walking around. Suddenly, a young adult fell from the floor I was on, probably a few stories high. There was a loud sound: a thud as he landed on the lowest floor. (The young adult falling away from the higher story represents those who know and have experienced too much to turn back and still be granted repentance by the Lord. Heb.6:4 For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, 6 and [then] fell away, it is impossible to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. 7 For the land which hath drunk the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them for whose sake it is also tilled, receiveth blessing from God: 8 but if it beareth thorns and thistles, it is rejected and nigh unto a curse; whose end is to be burned.)

I felt fear and did not dare to look at his body, but when I saw the people at the shopping center looking down at his body, I gathered enough courage to look. He was dead. (These demonstrations of what not to do are everywhere. Even the Babylonians will “look down” on those who fall away from this height. This is happening now and will continue with the falling away of the sons of perdition in the midst of the temple of God's people. Judas, who heard the Master, fell away to raise up the Babylonish Pharisees and Beast against the body of Christ. People in our sphere of influence, “going out to lunch” in Babylon, represent this group who will feed on the spirits of error, New Age, fear, paranoia, deception, etc., to fall away and spiritually die. The only thing we have to help avoid this same fate for others, besides praying for them, is to teach truth and sanctification from sin, the world, and its church. Please help us to pray and watch out for these brethren we cannot see. Ask the Lord to fill you with love for Him; then you will obey.)

God Empowers the Weak (8)

(audio) 

David Eells, 10/4/26

God works all things together for our good if we love and obey Him. God hasn’t failed. God hasn’t missed. He hasn’t fallen off the throne. Everything He’s doing is to bring to pass the purpose that He had before the foundation of the world, when He chose you in Christ before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4). If Adam had never fallen, would God ever have had to choose you to be in Christ? No. You mean, God knew that the fall was going to happen and He went ahead anyway? Yes. The Scripture teaches that very clearly. So we’re not here by accident. This is not Plan B. We were each put here like a seed sown in the earth. But then, among those seeds, the evil one came and sowed another seed, the tares (Matthew 13:25). We’ve been sown in the earth to bring forth fruit. When you take a seed and you shove it down in the earth, there’s dirt all around it.

Don’t be surprised when you see dirt all around your soul. The dirt is your carnal or fleshly man. That’s God’s plan. It’s quite natural for a seed to grow in dirt, but it doesn’t grow very well if you leave it sticking out on top of the ground, or put it in the rocky places, or put it in the highways and byways (Matthew 13:4-8). A seed only grows well in the dirt. We don’t like the dirt, but take heart and rejoice because we’ve been put here to bear fruit to the seed of the Word. Where God has you is the most natural place for you to bear fruit. You just have to learn to agree with God in the process and not fight against Him. He has a process and a method. His method is going to be manifested by your obedience to Scriptures your flesh or dirt  doesn’t like. Our flesh fights against it, but it’s the most important commandment of Jesus to crucify the flesh. It will put to death the old man, to bring to life the new man.

(Mat.10:16) Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. A dove is a pretty harmless critter. So is a sheep. Sheep are really pretty stupid, too. I’ve been around them a little bit, but I understand that when a wolf goes after them, they just hunker down and die. There’s no biting, there’s no kicking, there’s none of that. No fight at all in them. They just hunker down and die like it’s what they were created to do. Well, that’s the way we’re supposed to be. (Mat.10:16) Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. (17) But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you; (18) yea and before governors and kings shall ye be brought for my sake…. “For my sake.” This is what He’s talking about. For Christ to live in us, we have to obey His command here. You have to be like sheep in the midst of wolves. It’s for His sake that we’re delivered up. (Rev.13:10) If any man [is] for captivity, into captivity he goeth: if any man shall kill with the sword, with the sword must he be killed. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. The real saints will patiently resist not the evil in others. . 

The violent people who lift themselves up are going to die a quick death because God has an enemy coming against them that’s not going to lose. Even if they fall on their own sword, they’re not going to be wounded because God’s sending them. They’re coming to accomplish their purpose, and that is to destroy Babylon in us; to crucify the flesh in us. The people of God are going to be set free through the destruction of Babylon. But there’s also a little Babylon in each of us that has to be destroyed, too, and that’s why we’re going to go through this experience. Not only Babylon corporately, but Babylon individually. And God’s sending an enemy that’s fully qualified to take care of that. But He says it’s going to take patience, and it’s going to take faith for you not to take the sword because when you take the sword, your spirit man loses ground.

My wife had a dream about this: a younger brother who was out of his mind with getting vengeance on the world. God was showing us that there is a young brother out here in the world, a young Christian brother, corporately speaking, that’s going to rise up against this country and think to take things into their own hands. People don’t understand this because their teachers didn’t teach them this, and their lives will be cut short because the enemy who’s coming against them is not going to lose. God has a purpose in everything. God is Sovereign and everything He does is right; even if He does it through a wicked vessel, it’s right. When He crucified the Lord, He used wicked vessels to do it (Acts 2:23) and it was right.

Today, there are these militant anti-abortionists who are trying to get abortion outlawed by force. Now, don’t get me wrong, I’m against abortion. It’s murder and there’s no way you can call it right. But God is so Sovereign that He will use abortion to take babies out of this world because if those same babies were to grow up in this world, raised by this wicked generation, they’d be hell-bound. He’s taking them out of this world through this wicked device so they can go to be with Him. 

God is no fool; everything He does is right. When you look at circumstances, just remember God’s in them. He’s doing everything after the counsel of His Own Will (Ephesians 1:11). He doesn’t ask the devil anything, and He doesn’t back away from him. The devil just happens to be a vessel of dishonor who is, believe it or not, doing God’s Will. He’s wicked, he’s evil, he’s wrong, and the people who follow him are wicked, evil, and wrong, but he will fulfill the Will of God. The devil is here for people to make a choice. He’s here to bring judgment upon the sons of God who do wrong. As a matter of fact, the devil is here to give them an opportunity to do wrong. They have a choice in whom they obey and serve. This is part of our creation. We need an opportunity to do wrong. We’re going to find out through this process who the sons of God are. There are many who claim to be the sons of God, but before it’s over, we’re going to find out who they really are because the creation is awaiting the manifestation of the sons of God (Romans 8:19) and we will see that. They’re going to look just like the first Son of God, Jesus. 

God says there’s no power but of Him (Romans 13:1). If a power is raised up, God put it there, and He wants you to submit to it as Jesus did, even when it’s evil. Remember, Paul wrote Romans 13 in a day when all the rulers over God’s people were evil. (Rom.13:2) Therefore he that resisteth the power, withstandeth the ordinance of God: and they that withstand shall receive to themselves judgment. (3) For rulers are not a terror to the good work, but to the evil. And wouldest thou have no fear of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise from the same: (4) for he is a minister of God to thee for good…. Actually, the word “minister” there is the Greek word diakonos, meaning “deacon,” so these wicked worldly rulers are deacons. … But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is a minister (“deacon”) of God, an avenger for wrath to him that doeth evil. (5) Wherefore [ye] must needs be in subjection, not only because of the wrath, but also for conscience’ sake. 

(6) For this cause ye pay tribute also; for they are ministers (“deacons”) of God’s service, attending continually upon this very thing. (7) Render to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute [is due;] custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honor to whom honor. The Bible says, be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake. And, yes, there will come a time when they will say to you, “Deny Christ.” They will want you to trust in the arm of the flesh and submit to the authority of the Beast. But in this case we have a higher authority, Jesus. God says we should submit and obey as Jesus did when He was being crucified. The reason is that He put them in there to do this. Remember whom He put in authority when this was written. It was wicked rulers. Daniel was in the same situation, but he said that God raises up over the kingdom the basest of men (Daniel 4:17). He puts them there on purpose, and He puts them there to crucify us, if we will permit it. But God gives us His Word so that we learn to cooperate with Him in the process. 

We must cooperate with God in the process of crucifixion, and the way to crucifixion, as we just read, is weakness. A person who will not resist evil is a weak person, but the power of God to give them life will be there for people who are weak in the flesh. (Jer.17:5) Thus saith the Lord: Cursed is the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm…. If your strength is physical and not spiritual, then you’re cursed. Any part of God’s salvation works that way. Any place where you trust in the arm of the flesh, or run to the help of man, there’s a curse in it somewhere. It will be there. You can’t escape it because God’s Word is never wrong. God didn’t design for Christians to trust in the arm of the flesh for healing. That wasn’t His plan. God always heals. Did you ever see anybody come to Jesus whom He didn’t heal? He always heals. Apostate Christians say He doesn’t, but they’re wrong. It’s because they don’t believe. We must believe the Scriptures.

There’s always a curse when you trust in the arm of the flesh. My momma and daddy had a good revelation of that. I shared how my momma had been taking some kind of medicine for years and one day she looked in Reader’s Digest side effects of medicine. It said the side effects of her medicine were breast cancer and glaucoma, and she had them both. It was a bad trade. And my daddy ultimately died of what the doctors did to him. It was another bad trade. God is the only One Who can deliver from the curse. Man tries, but all man does is shove it around a little bit. He can’t deliver you from the curse. God is the only One Who can do that because God is the One Who sent it. There were no bad side effects in Jesus’ method. If man could deliver you from a curse that God sent, then man would be stronger than God. No, man can’t do it. Look what they found out about penicillin. All they did was breed stronger germs that they can’t kill. They didn’t do away with it. What I’m saying is, look for the curse whenever man trusts in the arm of the flesh. It doesn’t matter what science it is, even psychiatry, which a lot of preachers are preaching now. If you have a problem, even some “full Gospel” churches will send you to a psychiatrist, and they’ll do it quickly. Never mind the Gospel. They don’t know about the power of the Gospel. They trust in the arm of the flesh for their power, forgetting about casting out demons.

I’ll tell you, if you resist not the evil, you’ll see God stand up in front of you. You’ll see Him do miracles. I’d much rather be left in the hands of God (2 Samuel 24:14) than in the hands of man because that’s where you are when you resist the evil – you’re left in the hands of man. But God will do miracles. Do you know He can change men’s minds? He can give you favor. (Pro.16:7) When a man’s ways please the Lord, He maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him. God can change the heart of an enemy in a moment. It’s no problem for the Lord to change their mind. It’s no problem for Him to totally confuse them in their purpose, too, in a moment. I’ve seen Him do it, totally confuse them. They wonder what in the world they are doing there. 

(Jas.5:6) Ye have condemned, ye have killed the righteous [one]; he doth not resist you. Notice: The righteous do not resist their evil. The wicked do that. I know they put the word “[one]” there, but it’s in italics and not in the original. It’s not talking about Jesus because it says “he doth not,” present tense and future tense – “he doth not resist.” God’s command is very plain here. I know that people have taught that this doctrine is only true for the millennium, but that is totally stupid. Why would you need this doctrine in the millennium? (Heb.9:27) … It is appointed unto men once to die, and after this [cometh] judgment. Now is when we need to do this. (Pro.20:22) Say not thou, I will recompense evil: Wait for the Lord, and he will save thee. Wait for the Lord. He will save you. 

You say, “Well, He didn’t save Jesus.” That’s right because He wasn’t supposed to save Jesus who had to die for us. When Jesus died in the physical, He delivered us in the physical, but He died so that we could die in the spiritual, to the self life. He died so that we would have the ability to go against our flesh and win, so that this flesh would die. He made that possible. You’d never go against your flesh if it weren’t for His sacrifice. In fact, if you don’t exercise faith in His sacrifice, you won’t go against your flesh because it’s like picking yourself up by your own bootstraps, and that’s just not possible. You do what you are. The only way you can be something other than what you are is for God to reach in from the outside and put something there that wasn’t there naturally. Otherwise, you really are trying to pick yourself up by your own bootstraps.

Christians always try to save themselves first. God wants that and that’s part of His plan. He steps back and says, “Go ahead,” and He watches you wrestle with yourself. When you finally discover, “Oh, it’s by grace,” then He steps in and does something. But first He wants you to get the revelation that you cannot save yourself. And if you keep saving yourself, or thinking you’re saving yourself, God will get you into the place where you can’t, because He wants you to understand that salvation is by grace and not man’s works. Your deliverance comes from Him by grace. He says to wait for Him. He’ll do it. He’ll save you.

Don’t say within yourself, “I will do it.” Don’t even think it. This is where it has to stop. The battleground is in the mind, and it’s won or lost right there. You have to cast down every principle that exalts itself against the knowledge of God (2 Corinthians 10:5). Everything. And one thing is this “my rights” business. We don’t have any rights. We were crucified with Christ. (Gal.2:20) I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that [life] which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, [the faith] which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

You are not your own. (1Co.6:19) … Ye are not your own; (20) for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body. You don’t belong to you. Your life doesn’t belong to you. Your money doesn’t belong to you. Your house doesn’t belong to you. (Luk.14:33) So therefore whosoever he be of you that renounceth not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. That means your right, your will, your money; if you don’t renounce it, you are not a disciple; you are in rebellion against God. Think about it. We have to learn what this means to be a disciple. Renounce your rights. Dead men don’t have rights. Renounce your rights. Renounce your will. Renounce your material possessions; they are not yours. If they’re yours, you’re a thief because you stole them from God. He bought them; they’re His. If you’re doing with them what you want, you’re a thief. Do you realize that? That’s why we were given the Holy Spirit. God is our Lord.

Let me show you another command of Jesus; another place where He wants us to be weak. The worldly church looks upon these as, “Well, that’s for Jesus.” But these “resist not him that is evil” are commands. If you’re a “disciple,” a mathetes, then you’re “a learner and a follower. 

That’s what a disciple is – a learner and a follower in the steps of Jesus. If you don’t obey these commands, you are not a disciple. You may be a tare in the midst of the wheat. You know, Jesus said, “if ye love me, ye will keep my commandments” (Joh.14:15).

This is how we’re going to prove if we really love God. They’re the ones who desire to keep His commandments. They are mathetes; they are disciples. (Mat.6:19) Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal. Jesus commanded, “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth.” That’s not a request, but we plan for a rainy day, when He tells us, “be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof” (Mat.6:34).

Even the preachers have their retirement savings accounts, as if they’re supposed to retire. I never saw anybody in the Bible ever retire; they just died or were killed doing His work. They didn’t need IRAs. They had the power of God. (Mat.10:9) Get you no gold, nor silver, nor brass in your purses; (10) no wallet for [your] journey, neither two coats, nor shoes, nor staff: for the laborer is worthy of his food. Jesus sent the apostles out in weakness. When they came back, He asked them, “when I sent you forth without purse, and wallet, and shoes, lacked ye anything? And they said, Nothing” (Luk.22:35). So they didn’t have to store up to have their needs met. They didn’t have to be their own supplier to have their needs met. They walked by faith. God has shown me this. He’s made me go through this, too.

Now a lot of people use the next verse to justify trusting in the arm of the flesh. They say, “Well, Jesus told us to take a sword.” By the way, did you know that people who store up are numbered among the transgressors, just as people who take the sword are numbered among the transgressors? Yes, they are. And since this verse covers both principles, it’s good that we look at it right here. (Luk.22:36) And he said unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet; and he that hath none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword. Why did He say, “sell his cloak and buy a sword”? Why would you have to sell a cloak to buy? Why couldn’t you just buy without selling something first? And why, in particular, a cloak? 

We know that the Bible tells us to put on the Lord Jesus Christ. We’re putting on His righteousness. (Rom.13:14) But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, [to fulfil] the lusts [thereof]. He said, put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man (Eph.4:22). Put off “the old man,” which he called “your former manner of life.” Put off the old man and put on Christ. Jesus is saying you have to sell your cloak in order to buy a sword. Stop and think about it. You’re selling something. You’re selling something that God gave you in order to buy a sword. And not only that: (Luk.22:37) For I say unto you, that this which is written must be fulfilled in me, And he was reckoned with transgressors… Underline “transgressors” because that’s the whole point He’s making here. The person who takes his own supplies, who is his own supplier, and the person who takes the sword are both transgressors. So they may say, “Jesus told us to bring a sword,” but it’s contrary to what He said after they used it. (Luk.22:38) And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. One translation says “that is enough.” It’s enough to prove you’re a transgressor because this is not what Jesus taught the whole way.

The people who supplied their own needs, and they do it today; those who supply their own needs may put you under the Law in order to give to them and to give to their ministry. They do that because they’re afraid to stand by faith in God and, if they did, He would allow their little kingdom to crumble. That’s what He’d do because, if people gave according to the Holy Spirit, a lot of kingdoms around us would crumble. If you gave when God told you to give, where God told you to give, the kingdoms of men would crumble and they know it. So they put you under the Law. “You have to give to us. We are the storehouse. Bring your tithes into the storehouse.” No. the storehouse was in the temple, which we are. We don’t need to supply our own needs. The power of God will be manifest in our weakness. If you put yourself in a place of weakness, God will be there. He will see that you never do without. The apostles went out, and God was always with them. He’s no different with you. 

If you have to go in your strength, you’re in trouble. And everything that you use in your own strength, you’re going to lose because the world is going to plunder you. But if you go in God’s strength, then He is your supplier, He is your Jehovah-Jireh, and He’s never going to fail you. That’s where miracles are. You’ll see miracles if you do that.

He said, lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal (Mat.6:19). Why did He say that? I’ll tell you one very good reason is that He likens this to people who serve mammon and not God. (Mat.6:24) No man can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. You’re going to hold to the one and hate the other, and that means hold to the mammon and hate God. You can’t serve them both.

He said, “for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also” (Luk.12:34). The word “mammon” means “confidence,” and it means “that which is trusted in.” It doesn’t just mean “money”; it means “treasure.” In fact, the Hebrew word for “treasure” is matmon, and it means “that which is trusted in.” You know what? You cannot hoard it and not trust in it. I’ve heard them preach it for years and they’re lying. Jesus said, “Where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” You can’t have it in the bank, or however you have it stored up, and not trust in it. It’s just not possible. When a person gets in trouble, they’re going to run to their god, and then you know who their god really is. That’s why Jesus said that. He said it’s not possible to serve both God and mammon.

(Mat.6:22) The lamp of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. (23) But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness…. In other words, get your eye only on the Lord because, if your eye is double, your whole body is going to be full of darkness. But He said, “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth.” What is wrong with doing this? For one thing, God has designed this earth to support the life that’s on it and “when goods increase, they are increased that eat them” (Ecc.5:11). So, if somebody is storing up, somebody else is doing without. And if somebody’s storing up, then, of course, they are trusting in that.

Did you know that God called storing up “covetousness”? Do you know that the covetous will not inherit the Kingdom of Heaven (Ephesians 5:5)? The covetous were separated in the early church. They’re not separated today, because it doesn’t make any difference; everybody is covetous. But in the early church they were separated from among God’s people. Paul said that if any man who is called a brother is covetous (1 Corinthians 5:11), then the church was to judge them (1 Corinthians 5:12). He put the covetous right in there with the fornicators. There was no difference.

Jesus said, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth (Luk.12:15). The Bible says a covetous man is an idolater (Ephesians 5:5). Why is the covetous man an idolater? Do you know what the word “covetous” means? It does not mean “desiring what belongs to somebody else.” The Greek word means “desiring more.” Not being content but desiring more. And the Bible says, “but having food and covering we shall be therewith content” (1Ti.6:8), not desiring more. A person who is covetous is an idolater. “Idolater” comes from the Greek eidololatres, and it means “a servant to that which is seen.”

Stop and think about this. Have all the luxuries of life given you any more time to spend with the Lord? You’d think so, but it seems they just rob you of your time more than they make free time for you. You become a servant to that which is seen, an idolater, an eidololatres. In the old days, before they had all this stuff, people had more time for the Lord. A materialistic society robs Christians. Christians are strong when they get out of materialism, when they’re content to lead a simple life, and they don’t need all the luxuries to make them happy. If you need all that to make you happy, you’re sick. Those things you accumulate shouldn’t be what make you happy. It’s the Lord Who should make you happy; it’s righteousness that should make you happy. The Lord knew this.

(Luk.12:15) And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth. (16) And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: (17) and he reasoned within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have not where to bestow my fruits? (18) And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and I will build greater; and there will I bestow all my grain and my goods. In other words, he didn’t have any place to bestow his grain and his goods on anybody but himself. That’s the problem. He didn’t want to bestow them on anybody but himself. “I’ll get prettier. I’ll get bigger. I’ll get better.”

(Luk.12:19) And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry. (20) But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night they require thy soul of thee. That’s what it says in the original Greek: “They require thy soul.” What requires your soul? The riches require your soul. The Bible teaches that in other places. (Luk.12:20) But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night they require thy soul of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be? (21) So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God.

Here’s the point: “They require thy soul of thee.” (Psa.49:16) Be not thou afraid when one is made rich, When the glory of his house is increased: (17) For when he dieth he shall carry nothing away; His glory shall not descend after him. (18) Though while he lived he blessed his soul (And men praise thee, when thou doest well to thyself), (19) He shall go to the generation of his fathers; They shall never see the light. (20) Man that is in honor, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish. He said they’ll never see the light. What is He talking about? Remember what was told to the rich man? (Luk.16:25) But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and Lazarus in like manner evil things: but now here he is comforted, and thou art in anguish. See, obviously things are going to be turned around in the next life.

The Kingdom of Heaven is so totally opposite to this world. Things are in the works now to be turned around then. “Up” is “down” and “down” is “up” in the next life. Did you know that? He who humbles himself shall be exalted. Everything is going to be the opposite. It’s not going to be those whom the world has considered the great Christian leaders. It’s going to be the obedient and the fruitful. If you’re famous with the world, even the worldly church, you’re sick, and you’re in trouble. That was not the way the wicked treated the prophets and Jesus. If you are walking with God, then the world will treat you the way they treated the prophets and Jesus, which means you’ll be hated.

(Pro.13:7) There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing (This is talking about having nothing toward the Kingdom.): There is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great wealth. (8) The ransom of a man’s life is his riches; But the poor heareth no threatening. What is a ransom? Isn’t it a price that must be paid for someone’s freedom from bondage? Look at what the price to be paid for freedom from bondage is: it’s the riches. It’s the treasures that are stored up. It’s the things that you don’t need and things you’re trusting in. That’s not the only place in the Scriptures it says that. Isn’t that amazing? 

(Luk.18:25) For it is easier for a camel to enter in through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. (They talk about this “eye of the needle” over there in the Middle East. And they called it the “eye of a needle” after Jesus preached this (Matthew 19:24; Mark 10:25; Luke 18:25), but you can’t shove a camel through there.) Jesus meant what He said. That which is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God (Luk.16:15). Jesus said this to the Pharisees because they were lovers of money and they were scoffing at what He was saying. You know, God’s going to try us. God tries every one of us with money and with material goods. We’re going to be tried to see what we’re going to do with them. God made a command in the Old Testament concerning the manna (Exodus 16:18) and Paul used it in the New Testament to show us something.

Look what Paul said in the New Testament. Why is it wrong to store up? Because if you’re storing up, you’re a thief, and I’m going to prove it to you from the Scriptures. (2Co.8:13) For [I say] not [this] that others may be eased [and] ye distressed; (14) but by equality: your abundance [being a supply] at this present time for their want, that their abundance also may become [a supply] for your want; that there may be equality. See, that’s what your store should be used for. Am I coming against your flesh? I hope so. 

In the New Testament, the rich are exhorted to be ready and willing to distribute. That’s their job when they come into the Kingdom and the reason is so “that their abundance also may become [a supply] for your want; that there may be equality: (2Co.8:15) as it is written, He that [gathered] much had nothing over (Underline that: “had nothing over.”); and he that [gathered] little had no lack.” See, God has a plan for the poor of the Kingdom, the people who are in need in the Kingdom, and His plan is “equality.” No, everybody’s not going to drive nice cars, I know that. But if you have your needs met, that’s the point. God wanted equality, and when the Church started in the Book of Acts, that’s immediately what they set out to do. People who had material possessions sold them and gave the money to the apostles for distribution to those in need.

I tell you, the spirit of this is going to come back into the Church and there’s going to be equality, but what’s going to happen first is God’s going to take everything away from the super rich. He’s going to take everything away because Christians and all are in idolatry in this country, and they’re serving the things that they can see. All those things are going to pass away. In the judgment that God’s sending against this country, He’s going to take it all away from those that store up and redistribute it. A sister named Verna had a dream about all the valuables being held over a deep pit. God showed her it’s all going to be taken away because God’s going to deliver His people from idolatry. This is not going to bother people who don’t have a lust for things. They couldn't care less, as long as they can see the power of God and the work of God. 

God wants equality and He wants your excess to meet somebody’s needs, so that their excess will meet your need. Think about it, folks. Most of you believe that hard times are coming. If your excess now will meet somebody’s need, then their excess later will meet your need. That’s what it says there. The people who are going to have the hardest time are the people who are idolaters, the people who are serving things. If something is not yours, then God has to tell you what to do with it and, if you’re a disciple, it’s not yours.

Every time God’s ever told me to do something great, He was there with grace in me to do it and He’s always done something greater for me. He has never failed. Never. And He never will fail you. If He tells you to do something, don’t worry about it and don’t fear. It’s His and He can do with it what He likes. If He tells you to do something with it, do it because He’s going to bless you. Jesus said, “give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give unto your bosom” (Luk.6:38). When you need, the way to get your needs met is not by storing up and it’s not by borrowing; it’s by giving.

God made me prove that. There have been times when God didn’t supply my need until the last minute, and when I looked at what I had and looked at my bills on the other side, there was no way. Do you know what God told me to do? He said, “Give it. Get rid of it. Get it out of your hand.” As soon as I did that, He met the whole need, and He did this to me time after time. You see, the way to receive is to give. This is God’s method. And I’m not preaching that so that you give to me because I don’t care if you give to me. I don’t have to worry about that. I found that God is never going to fail me. Never.

Now I know that it’s almost impossible to live today without having a bank account, without putting money in the bank to pay the bills. But Scripture tells us not to store up our treasure. Well, where is the line? I’m not trying to draw one. That’s between you and God. I’m not going to say anything that He didn’t say. But get alone with God and your conscience and find out what He means to you when He’s talking about that. I’m not going to put anybody under a law. Some of you may be thinking, “How could I pay my bills if I just gave everything away?” Oh, believe me, that’s happened to me many times. Many times, I had to give everything away before my bills got paid. God never failed me. I was never too late paying my bills, but I first had to get rid of whatever I had for Him to do it. And what I had wasn’t enough to cover the bills anyway, so I might as well get rid of it.

It’s a place of being weak. See, when you are weak, He’s going to be strong. It’s an act of faith to give when you need, like the woman with the two mites, because God doesn’t measure your giving by how much you put in; it’s what you have left after you put in. The woman with the two mites gave more than all those rich Pharisees (Mark 12:42-44). They put in out of their abundance. Jesus didn’t mention them. They were putting in under the Law anyway. She wasn’t putting in under the Law. That was all she had. She was totally under grace and totally in faith in God and she figured, “This won’t meet my need, it might as well meet somebody’s,” and she just gave it. And I’ll tell you what, that woman didn’t go away without being blessed. I’ve experienced it. I know it’s true. 

Some people try to say that the way the early church met the needs of the saints is just communism, but there’s a big difference. There’s a difference between socialism or communism and Scriptural equality from the heart, and worked by God, and the other is by law. And there have been groups that have this legalistic way of communism. They had equality in the early church, but it was not the kind of communism we see in the world. That way is forced upon men who have wicked hearts because of law. And, as you know, the Law cannot make perfect (Hebrews 7:19). The Law does not have the power to bring things to pass, but grace does. 

When they gave in the early church to meet one another’s needs, God made sure that it was going to come back to them later. Anything that goes out comes back. There will be a time when your needs will need to be met and they will be met because you met others’ needs and you trust God. That’s what 2 Corinthians 8:14 says. And I’m not trying to draw a line there about how much. You figure that out. Only you know if it’s something that you’re trusting in. The only reason many people I know have a bank account is so they can write checks to pay their bills. I have one, too, but I don’t store up. In fact, I have to run and put money in the bank so that they can pay my bills.

Okay, maybe you’re not storing up money, but you’re storing up groceries. Are you doing that for convenience so you’re not running to the store all the time? Or are you trusting in what you’ve stored up for yourself? God left some things between you and your conscience and Him, and that’s the way this is. Let God deal with you when you read that in 2 Corinthians because I don’t think we should make any laws or regulations. God wants to talk to you; He wants to lead you and if you humble yourself to those Scriptures, He will show you what it means for you. And that’s the way we ought to leave it and not go beyond the things which are written (1 Corinthians 4:6).

Listen, this world is set up for the rich to plunder the poor, and this has always been true. There will come some relief when the plunderers meet with justice. God did not ordain this system except to teach the people a lesson. You know the people who are behind the wars in the world, who are behind the governments, who are raising up and destroying governments, have been the rich? It’s always been the rich. They are ruling this world, and the devil is using them to do it. He’s the god of this world. They worship him and they serve him. They’re in the physical realm ruling this world, although they don’t know God is over everything.

(Jas.5:1) Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries that are coming upon you. And they are coming for this country. This is a pertinent word for this day. (Jas.5:2) Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. He’s talking about your spiritual riches being corrupted and your spiritual garments being moth-eaten. (Jas.5:3) Your gold and your silver are rusted; and their rust shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. (4) Ye have laid up your treasure in the last days. (5) Behold, the hire of the laborers who mowed your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth out: and the cries of them that reaped have entered in the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth (or “hosts”). (5) Ye have lived delicately on the earth (Does this remind you of the rich man and the beggar, Lazarus?), and taken your pleasure; ye have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter. (Jas.5:6) Ye have condemned, ye have killed the righteous [one]; he doth not resist you. [one] once again is not biblical here because the righteous are the ones being plundered. That was true in Jesus’ day and it’s true in this day.

We should seek God for contentment. (1Ti.6:6) But godliness with contentment is great gain: (7) for we brought nothing into the world, for neither can we carry anything out; (8) but having food and covering we shall be therewith content. The Bible says we should be content with the simple things of life, a simple life. You may have read the stories of some of the great men of God and how they were just so content, so happy with so little. Like the early disciples they were consumed with serving God not toys. They didn’t need material things to be happy. They led a simple life. How much more time do you have for God if you are obedient and lead a simple life, if you don’t lust after the world and run after the things of the world? (Act.20:35) … It is more blessed to give than to receive. And be obedient, as far as seeking equality among the brethren. God wants equality. God wants to bless His people, and He’s going to bless them with equality and low overhead so they can do the work of the Kingdom. God even promises “His righteousness abideth for ever” (2Co.9:9) for the person who seeks this. That’s a tremendous promise.

Another thing to look at is tithing. You may not agree with me, but God didn’t ordain for His Church to stop at tithing. Tithing was when 90% belonged to you and 10% belonged to God. But there’s no such thing in the New Testament. We are totally stewards in the New Testament. God had something much greater than tithing. You will not find tithing taught in the New Testament. I’m telling you to look. You say, “Oh, yeah it is, in Matthew 23.” No, it doesn’t say that. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees in (Mat.23:23) … Ye tithe mint and anise and cummin, and have left undone the weightier matters of the law…. Jesus said tithing is of the Law. He never preached tithing. You can’t find one verse where He did. The New Testament talks about tithing they did dishonestly in the Old Testament; that’s true, but equality in stewardship superseded tithing. This is what makes you a steward, when it all belongs to God, not just 10%. You don’t, and you can’t find 10% in the New Testament. Read it carefully. And if you’re under the Law, you’re doing business with God according to the Old Covenant. Don’t try it because, if you do, He’ll do business with you according to the Old Covenant.

I learned that when I first came into the Kingdom and started tithing. God blessed me when I tithed because I hadn’t been giving anything. But it wasn’t long until He showed me that He had something better. Everything in the New Testament is better. The great blessings are much better than the Law. (2Co.9:6) But this [I say,] He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Now, he just says, the more you give, the more you’ll receive to give. And he does say to give, as you’ll see, if you read on. (2Co.9:7) [Let] each man [do] according as he hath purposed in his heart…. That’s not the Law, is it? No, and I tell you, most preachers will rebuke you if you say that nowadays. It’s as if they didn’t know it was in the Bible. (2Co.9:7) [Let] each man [do] according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver. It’s not of necessity? That’s exactly right. So that delivers you from the Law right there. Not of necessity. “For God loveth a cheerful giver.” In other words, He wants it from the heart. He doesn’t want you under the Law. He’s not interested in that kind of sacrifice.

The sacrifice He wants is a cheerful giver. And look at His promise for doing this. Now this promise is not for tithers. I’ve had tithers say, “Well, I give my tithes. Why doesn’t this promise come true to me?” It’s because this promise is not for tithing, because if you’re under the Law, you can only reap a harvest that’s under the Law. God never made the Law with the Church. He never made tithing with you. He made the Law with the Jews; not with you. You don’t have to figure out what part of the Old Covenant you’re under. You’re not under any of it. It’s all types and shadows to be fulfilled in your life, but you’re not under any of it. He didn’t make that Covenant with you, He made it with them. There’s a moral law in the Old Testament that’s always true but He puts it in our heart not over our head. But the ceremonial laws, like animal sacrifice, tithing or circumcision. All these things have been superseded by something greater. For example, Paul told us that baptism represents circumcision (Colossians 2:11,12). We’re still being circumcised, except it’s not the cutting away of the flesh of the foreskin; it’s the cutting off of the whole old man. That’s what baptism means. 

So, when you bring things from the Old Testament into the New Testament, it’s magnified. The tithe has been magnified. It’s not 10% anymore; it’s 100%. And the Sabbath is not a day anymore; it’s every day. See, everything has been changed. The Sabbath is being fulfilled in the New Testament by those who cease from their works and enter into the rest through faith (Hebrews 4:3). Jesus didn’t say you had to obey the Law. He said you’ll fulfill it. There is a difference. Now, a person who does equality will fulfill the tithe. If you sow bountifully, you will fulfill the tithe. But you’re not doing it because you are under the Law. It’s a totally different relationship with God. 

Now, look at this fantastic promise! (2Co.9:8) And God is able to make all grace abound unto you…. You mean just for giving bountifully? That’s what He said. … All grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything…. (2Co.9:8) That’s a promise. I tell you, there are few promises like that in the Bible that are so inclusive, and He’s giving it to people who are bountiful givers. (2Co.9:8) And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work. Now that’s a promise! (9) As it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever. God imputes righteousness to a person who doesn’t give under the Law but gives under grace – and gives bountifully. 

Sowing bountifully doesn’t mean we should throw it to the wind just to be giving it. He wants us to be good stewards, and He doesn’t want us to pour sand down a rat hole because that’s what you’re doing in a lot of ministries. You’ve heard the saying that you can’t out-give God, and that’s true. But I know preachers many times use it to make themselves rich. You’re not supposed to keep what He gives back to you. He still wants equality. The materialistic preachers, the prosperity preachers, they think this is a means to get rich, but you’re not being content with food and raiment if you’re doing that. (2Co.9:10) And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing…. So it’s not supposed to stick in your hand. That’s the problem. You see the preachers riding around in their luxury vehicles and living in their million-dollar homes. What happened? Is there equality in their church? No. It’s stuck in their hand. He said He multiplies your seed for sowing. In other words, God multiplies what you give back to you so that you can give it again. 

Most people only give 10% when it comes back. You can get fat and filthy rich on this 10% business. I mean, in a worldly way, you can do that. But if you have it stuck in your hands, you’re robbing God because that’s not His plan. It’s supposed to keep on flowing through you and meeting needs. When you do that, then you’re storing up treasures in Heaven. If you store them up on the earth, they’ll get stolen and become corrupt. But if you store them up in Heaven, you can reach up there and get them anytime you need them. It’s just like when God supplied the manna and He told them to only gather enough for one day. If they took more, it bred worms (Exodus 16:20). They were storing up, and it corrupted. Those omers were leveled off and anything that fell out went into somebody else’s omer (Exodus 16:18). Everybody had their needs met and nobody had excess. If anybody had a heaping omer, then he had what belonged to somebody else.

The tithe was given for the Levitical ministry. I’m not denying that. The problem is there are a lot of people who went and weren’t sent. There are a lot of people out there who are receiving this and they have no business doing it, and they’re not doing with it what God told them to do in the Bible. When Jesus gathered together the sheep and the goats in front of Him (Matthew 25:32,33) and He separated them, He separated them by what they did with what they had. (Mat.25:35) For I was hungry, and ye gave me to eat; I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink; I was a stranger, and ye took me in; (36) naked, and ye clothed me; I was sick, and ye visited me; I was in prison, and ye came unto me. (37) Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee? or athirst, and gave thee drink? (38) And when saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? (39) And when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? (40) And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, [even] these least, ye did it unto me. 

In the Old Testament, the storehouse was in the midst of the temple and the people of God are the temple. Jesus didn’t ask one time, “Did you pay your tithes?” He did ask, “Did you meet My brethren’s needs?” That’s how He judged them to be either a sheep or a goat. “Did you meet my brethren’s needs?” See, there must be a fulfillment of what happened in the Old Testament in the New Testament. In the New Testament, the treasury is still in the temple, but it’s not a building. But preachers will tell you to bring your tithe into the storehouse, which, conveniently is them, while people in the church are in need and can’t pay their bills. Instead, they keep building bigger and bigger churches, and some of them are just half-empty mausoleums.

(2Co.9:10) And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness: (11) ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God. Wow! There are some tremendous promises here for giving according to the New Testament. If you have a need, if you’re in trouble and you need your needs met, let me tell you what to do: Don’t ever stop giving. Give more than you’ve ever given. Remember what Jesus showed us: the storehouse in the midst of the temple is the people of God. The very first thing God wants you to do is meet the needs of God’s people. The second thing He wants you to do is “make to yourselves friends by means of the mammon of unrighteousness; that, when it shall fail, they may receive you into the eternal tabernacles” (Luk.16:9). He’s talking about using your money to bring souls to the Lord because they’ll have an eternal tabernacle if you use your money to bring them into the Kingdom, won’t they? I’m saying that God wants you to use what you have as a steward, so that in the hereafter those people whom you used your money for will be able to receive you into eternal tabernacles. That’s what the Scripture says.

God’s purpose for us here on earth is to be a blessing and to bring people into the Kingdom, and to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. (Mat.6:33) But seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. He said all these other things will be added to you. Don’t worry about them. That’s what the Gentiles seek after. Look at the birds. (Mat.6:26) Behold the birds of the heaven, that they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; and your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are not ye of much more value than they? Look at the flowers. (28) And why are ye anxious concerning raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: (29) yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. You don’t have to seek after these things. He literally means that. 

Look, there will come a time when you may not be able to work and make your own living, but God is your Jehovah-Jireh. It doesn’t matter that you can’t work. Don’t worry about it. Just seek first the Kingdom and His righteousness and God is going to make sure that your needs are met. He’s going to prove it to you. The birds don’t sow. Look at the point He’s making; look at it and meditate on it.

Okay, suppose you can’t work. Suppose you’re put into such a position of need. Suppose this country falls apart and money isn’t worth anything and you don’t have a job. Does that mean God can’t supply your needs? No, just the opposite. If you continue giving right there, you’ll find out God will bless you right there. He has bound Himself by His Word to be your Jehovah-Jireh; He will meet your needs. Look at the birds. They don’t store up in barns. Your Father feeds them. Look at the flowers; they’re clothed. They don’t labor to be clothed. Father clothes them. So, He says to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. This is an important principle. If you have a need, don’t ever stop seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness because He said it’s going to be met. 

See, the problem is that when people get a need, they start seeking the need instead of seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. They get turned around. That’s the worldly way. If you have a need, seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and what you need will be added unto you. When I agreed the Lord was going to give me a house in Florida, one of the first questions that came to us was, “Well, how’s God going to do this?” And my wife asked me, “Well, what do you think we ought to do, start saving our money? Should we sell our house?” You know, God told me the opposite for everything there. He told me, “Don’t save anything; just keep giving, and giving.” And that’s what we did. We never saved a nickel. We just kept giving and giving. At that time I was making plenty of money and we just kept giving. And we didn’t sell our house either. He made us give it away. 

God’s Word is true. He doesn’t tell you to gain any other way. He doesn’t tell you to store up to meet your need. He tells you, don’t store up. He wants to show you He can do a miracle. He wants to prove to you that, in your weakness, He’s made strong. You want to see a miracle? You have to be weak to see a miracle. You have to be in a position of weakness. The commandments of Jesus are designed to make you weak. He said, “Don’t store up.” And the thoughts will come to you, “What if I have a problem?” “What if I get sick?” “What if ...” Don’t worry about tomorrow. (Mat.6:34) Be not therefore anxious for the morrow: for the morrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Obey His command and do not worry about tomorrow. The devil will give you trouble by worrying about tomorrow because it will be a self-fulfilled prophecy. Listen, if you don’t have it, God will see that you get it. If you already have your own need supplied, why does He have to do a miracle? You don’t get to see miracles that way. Besides, you’re rebelling against God. (Luk.16:12) And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own? Do you see that? What we have is another’s.

If you see a brother in need, you should try to meet that need because we already have some principles in the Bible and God wants us to obey them. He said, “give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away” (Mat.5:42), and “release, and ye shall be released” (Luk.6:37); and He means it. And He’s talking about wicked people there, too, by the way. Nowadays Christians will pass up their brother in need or people who ask them and say, “No, I can’t do that. I have to bring my tithe into the storehouse.” What they’re doing is rebelling against the principles of Jesus to give, or lend, or release, in order to obey the Law that they were never under. Preachers are putting them under the Law so that they rebel against every principle Jesus ever spoke. You don’t need a word from God if you see a brother in need. He’s already given you a word.

Now if a person is doing okay financially and you know they’re making it, they’re getting by, you wouldn’t do that. And you’re not supposed to meet a person’s greed. Why give it to a preacher who has an expensive home and car? Does he need it? Obviously not. Something’s wrong there. The Bible says, “he that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord” (Pro.19:17) but “he that giveth to the rich, [shall come] only to want” (Pro.22:16). Number one in God’s priority is His children, not the world. I’ve seen people skip over His children and go straight to the world because they wanted to, or maybe because it was kinfolk or something like that. No, you can’t do that. That’s not Scriptural. 

Remember what we read; it’s “inasmuch as ye did it unto one of these my brethren, [even] these least, ye did it unto me” (Mat.25:40). Now, if you do give it to family, does God count that if they’re in need? Well, that could fall under the category of what He said about being a wise steward and gaining those people and bringing them into the Kingdom, so that they have an eternal tabernacle (Luke 16:9). Sometimes the Lord wants you to do that, to meet the need of some poor, lost person because God’s going to use it as a testimony to them. He’s going to use it to bring them to the Lord.

God can guide you to do all kinds of things. In the Old Testament, they needed a law because they didn’t have the Holy Spirit. We’ve been given the Holy Spirit because He is to lead and guide us. We follow the law of the Spirit, and the Holy Spirit has been given to us to guide us. God didn’t tell us how much here, how much there, but He gave us the Holy Spirit. The church has actually put us into bondage. At the same time, people in the church with real needs go without. I’ve heard so many testimonies, you have, too, of people who go to a church to get help with their needs and couldn’t do it; and yet the hierarchy in the church was living pretty well. And the churches still will receive the 10% when a person could be saying, “Enough is enough. I’ve been giving to this building fund and these people who are human – flesh and blood – are freezing and starving in the church.”

Now some people prey on churches and just want handouts. They’re being leeches instead of trying to find work. They think it’s easier to have the church give them something. So where do you know where to draw the line? I know I’ve shared this experience with you before, about when I was an elder in Louisiana. We had this couple who came in there, and that’s the way they were. They were strictly Gimme, gimme, gimme; they were leeches. We’d give to them and they’d be eating steak. We hardly ever ate steak. Well, the Lord showed me something, and He gave me wisdom there because we had just taught, “give to every one that asketh thee” (Luk.6:30), and the text there is talking about the wicked. When they ask you, give to them. I understand there are cases whereby you don’t want to be a partaker in other men’s sins. If a man’s an alcoholic, you don’t give him a buck to go buy another one, but you can use wisdom. You can meet his need with wisdom. You don’t have to meet it with money. But after we had taught these people this, this couple came.

And God showed me that He sent them there to try everybody in that church to see if they would obey the Word they’d heard. Were they going to submit, and were they going to give, and were they going to lend and were they going to do what the Bible said to do? I think that a lot of people did overcome there. They actually entered into more of God there because they did obey that. But there came a time when the Lord told the elders what to do with that couple, after they had tried the church. I mean, God spoke to me just as plainly as could be when I asked Him what to do about them because they were tormenting the church. He spoke to me and said, “Kick the baby bird out of the nest.” That’s what He told me. In other words, they were just leeches. They were just soaking everybody dry. It was, “I need this, I need that, I need this.” They had no responsibility. The guy would lose his job because he wouldn’t get up in the morning and go to work, and things like that.

And the Lord does try people to know, “Are you going to obey?” See, if you obey God’s Word, He will take care of things. It may not look reasonable to you, but you come against your flesh when you do things just because the Bible says it. Your flesh says, “No, no, no,” and you’re saying, “Yes, I’m going to do it just because the Bible says it.” It may look unreasonable to you, but when you obey it, you’re crucifying your flesh. Finally, there was a time when God wouldn’t permit the church to be tried anymore. The Bible says, “God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able” (1Co.10:13). And this is what happened. This is something I hardly ever do. I wouldn’t even think of doing this unless God told me to, but He told me to call that woman up in front of the church and cast out a spirit of graft because she was using her position to gain from the people of God. When I did that, I’ll tell you, it was an eye-opener because when I commanded that spirit to come out of that woman, she hit the ground and she was wiggling around down there just like a snake.

As fat a woman as she was, there’s no physical way she could have done that. And the spirit came out of her. Well, she lasted only about a week until she went back to doing her same old tricks again. God sometimes will cast a spirit out because the people need it, but if that person does not repent, it will come back. That’s when the Lord said, “Kick the baby bird out of the nest.” When the momma kicks the baby bird out of the nest, they either fly or hit the ground, and that was this case. It didn’t last long.

A preacher from another church in New Orleans called me and asked, “Do you know these people?” I said, “Yeah.” He said, “Well, we’re having a little problem.” I said, “Yeah, I can guess what it is.” So he asked for my advice and I told him what I did. “Well, it sounds like good advice. We’re going to do that, too.” I said, “Fine,” but I know God sent them there to test them in obeying His Word. Sometimes you don’t want to do that. You don’t want to obey the Scriptures. You think there’s somebody more deserving of this. But it says, “give to every one that asketh thee” (Luk.6:30) and He’s talking about sharing with the wicked. 

(Mat.6:19) Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon the earth, where moth and rust consume, and where thieves break through and steal: (20) but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth consume, and where thieves do not break through nor steal. The emphasis here is that it cannot be corrupted when you lay it up in Heaven; you can use it, and it’ll be there for you. (Gal.6:7) Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. In other words, you have to sow it to reap it. Some people don’t understand why they’re not reaping. Did you sow it? The Bible says, “give, and it shall be given unto you” (Luk.6:38). There are principles in the Word of God. Again, I say the amount doesn’t matter. I’ve never given as much as God’s going to give to me. It doesn’t matter the amount; it matters what you have left, like the widow (Mark 12:42). She was a giver and God met her needs.

And God will meet your needs if you store it up in Heaven where it cannot corrupt and where the interest is greater. When we gave a house, God gave us a much better house. When we gave a car, God gave us a much better car. The interest is great. It’s “good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom” (Luk.6:38). That’s not to make you rich. It’s supplying seed to the sower (2 Corinthians 9:10), so God just wants it to keep on going. God will do miraculously. If you give abundantly, according to what you have, He’ll give abundantly, according to what He has. How do you store up your treasures in Heaven? (Luk.12:30) For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. (31) Yet seek ye his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you. (32) Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. It’s not as if you have to talk God into it. He wants to do miraculously. But many people will not put themselves in a position of weakness where God can do this. 

It is, “my power is made perfect in weakness” (2Co.12:9). It’s faith and if you have faith, you don’t need to store up. (2Co.12:33) Sell that which ye have, and give alms; make for yourselves purses which wax not old (In other words, it’s not something you store up and you’re keeping it for a long time), a treasure in the heavens that faileth not, where no thief draweth near, neither moth destroyeth. (2Co.12:34) For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

Many Christians are storing up on earth when they should be storing up in Heaven. They point to Joseph and how he stored up grain in Egypt (Genesis 41). I really believe that Joseph was storing up there in type; the grain that he was storing up is the grain of the Word of God. Because if Jesus said it, He’s never going to change His mind (Matthew 5:18). It’s His commands to us. If He said it, it’s always going to be that way. What God is going to do in the future will be miraculous. I mean, I found out when God moved me to Pensacola that when I didn’t have something, it didn’t have anything to do with God’s supply. Nothing. I saw God multiply food. I saw Him put food in our stomachs when we didn’t have any food. And I know that God will never let you do without when you have a need. It has nothing to do with your supply; it has to do with what you’ve been doing. There’s going to come a time when you need some treasure stored up, right? Have you been storing it up in Heaven?
