Tests Prove Who is the Bride (6)

David Eells - 8/29/21

"Inside the Gates of Heaven"

A book by Oden Hetrick - 1988

(Portions of Oden Hetrick's testimonies re-told by Eve Brast) 

(David’s notes in red)

The following are a summary of testimonies of the benefits of achieving the Sun/Son Glory of the Bride of Christ in Heaven:

Oden relates that the Most Holy Place in Heaven is where God sits on his throne with Jesus at His right hand. He says that the saints around Him in this place, their clothing and their Chamber Mansions are much brighter because these saints are closer to God. (Not everyone receives this brightest glory and garments or one of these Chamber mansions that surround the throne of God; Only those who, during their lives on earth, sought the Lord diligently by faith through grace. Like the Shulamite in Song of Solomon they run after the Lord with all their hearts.)

He says that when the saints first enter Heaven they stay in the suburbs outside of the Holy City for awhile, learning spiritual realities and being prepared to comprehend everything they will experience inside the Holy City. One concept they learn is the difference between the physical saints of earth and the spiritual saints in Heaven.

1 Co. 15:47-49  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.

Oden relates from his experiences while in Heaven that he learned there are three parts that God created in mankind; spirit, soul and body, but the real ‘you’ is your soul. Your mind, heart, memory, emotions and reasoning power - these are the real you. These are your real person; invisible and eternal. He said that our soul is shaped just like our body and fits into it perfectly, as a hand in a glove.

God gave us a spirit so we could know and have a relationship with Him and live on a higher level of existence than animals. But because of Adam’s disobedience there is sin in every soul, ingrained in every personality. The only way to escape it is in the salvation of Jesus Christ. When we give our lives to Him, He removes our sins, saves us from eternal punishment and redeems us to eternal life with Him in Heaven. (We recon ourselves to be dead unto sin but alive unto God because of the sacrifice and reconciliation or exchange accomplished by Jesus. It is no more I that live but Christ lives in me is Pauls good confession of faith.)

A sinful soul uses the body for satisfaction in temporal sinful pleasures. But a redeemed soul, being delivered from that ingrained sin, is united with our spirit; and while enjoying the things of God in this life, looks forward to spiritual pleasures of eternity in Heaven. Rom. 8:6  For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:

A redeemed soul and spirit occupy the same space, at the same time, in the body or out of the body and in Heaven they appear as one spirit person. Spirits in Heaven have no infirmities and no signs of age, but they are recognized as the same person who lived in the body of dust on earth. After this body of dust is resurrected and changed, the saints will live in Heaven in a glorified body like Jesus.

Oden said, one day he wondered what his reward would be for his faithfulness in serving God and he was taken in a vision to a large treasury room, that he later found out was located in the lower level of his Heavenly Mansion. He saw two large bins full of rubies that were 2’ wide x 2’ deep x 4’ long. When he asked his angel guide how he had earned all this, the angel said, that "God generously rewards his elect for even the smallest acts of kindness."

Mat. 10:42  And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, verily I say unto you he shall in no wise lose his reward.

He said that he then hurried with excitement over to the bins and scooped up handfuls of rubies and let them slide through his fingers. But the attending angel that stood by asked him, “Would you be satisfied with these as a reward? These jewels, though precious and sparkling, cannot return to you the affection you bestow on them.” Oden realized at that moment, as the last jewels slipped through his fingers, that it would take more than those jewels to satisfy his soul.

He thought of the verse in Gen. 15:1  After these things the word of Jehovah came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Fear not, Abram: I am thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.

This made him wonder how God could be his reward. He said he began to understand that God was our reward by living in us and giving us the ability to love and to enjoy the things He has created.

1 John 4:12  No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us:

Realizing that his (Oden’s) love could be satisfied, he wondered, “When would God be satisfied?” So he said to the Lord, “To my finite way of thinking, you should also find satisfaction.” And He replied, “Yes, my son, ‘He shall see the travail of His soul, and shall be satisfied.” (Isa. 53:11) When my redeemed ones gather before me on the Sea of Glass to worship and adore Me, with all their heart and soul, mind and strength, then will be returned to Me the equivalent of the price I paid for them on Calvary.” Continuing He said, “But the love of God goes far beyond anything that can be returned by all of His creation.”

On page 55 of his book Oden says, “The Most Holy Place is the place of the Most Holy Presence of the Most High God, the highest state of existence for God’s sanctified ones. Here the devoted saints of God dwell in chambers of Divine light and behold the face of God. These Chamber Mansions are located in the wall that surrounds the throne of God and of Jesus. (Now we know that no man can behold the face of God but these are no longer men but Sons and Daughters of God.)

Rev. 7:15  Therefore are they before the throne of God; and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall spread his tabernacle over them. 

This Temple and the Most Holy Place of Heaven are not just another place to visit. It is very sacred, very hallowed and very different from things understood by most earth beings. If we were to consider the dimensions of existence, as being numbered 1 - 7, Heaven’s Most Holy Place would be number 7. The presence of God in this temple is the highest state of existence and it is only for the most holy people of God.

So those who would understand what I am about to describe must be spiritually and Heavenly minded. They must seek the God of Heaven and love Him with all their heart soul mind and strength. Be assured that those who truly seek God will find Him. Those who find the devil were not seeking God.

Jer. 29:13  And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart. (This is made possible by grace through our faith.)

The Bible explains that the Most Holy Place of the Tabernacle of Moses on earth could only be entered into once a year by the high priest, who was ceremoniously prepared and used special clothing that was used for no other purpose. The Bible also describes a time when 2 of Aaron’s sons offered strange fire to the Lord, that He had not commanded, in the Holy Place. So the Lord’s Presence consumed them and they died; their relatives having to take the bodies out.

Lev. 10:3  Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it that Jehovah spake, saying, I will be sanctified in them that come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glorified. And Aaron held his peace.

The Most Holy Place in Heaven is surely considered more sacred. Oden said, “He wasn’t trying to scare people, but only to let us know that Heaven’s highest pleasures are not given to “un-sanctified triflers.” They are given to those who drink of the Spirit of God deeply as a thirsty soul. They are given to those who breathe in deeply the Spirit of God.

Psalm 42:1-2  As the hart panteth after the water brooks, So panteth my soul after thee, O God. 2 My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: When shall I come and appear before God?

The elect in Heaven’s Most Holy Place also wear clothing that is different from what they wear in any other part of Heaven. They themselves are also specially prepared by God but are not limited to entering one time a year as it was on earth. They have permanent Chamber Mansions located inside of the walls of the temple that face directly into the Most Holy Place. These sun/Son glory saints and their eternal covenant companions spend much time in these chamber homes. From there they can behold the face of God on His Throne.

Everyone who enters Heaven has the same eternal life, but everyone does not have the same reward. In the resurrection we are changed in substance from physical to spiritual beings, but we are not changed in character. All that is required to initially enter into the kingdom of Heaven and to obtain eternal life is to be cleansed of our sins of disobedience by the blood of Jesus.

Col. 1: 9-14 ...that ye may be filled with the knowledge of his will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, 10 to walk worthily of the Lord unto all pleasing, bearing fruit in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all power, according to the might of his glory, unto all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks unto the Father, who made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; 13 who delivered us out of the power of darkness, and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love; 14 in whom we have our redemption, the forgiveness of our sins:

If you want rewards and spiritual character in Heaven, you must, while on earth, add to your initial salvation (or faith) a knowledge and understanding of unseen spiritual things. You must receive God’s Holy Spirit as your trusted Guide and let Him teach you who Jesus is and of the things to come. You must put off the old nature with it’s evil deeds and put on Christ’s nature. And you must follow Jesus in humble service to mankind.

Saints in Heaven are very different in their glories, brightness and knowledge. Let me encourage everyone to love God with all your heart, obey His commandments and seek the face of God.

2 Pe. 1:5-8 Yea, and for this very cause adding on your part all diligence, in your faith supply virtue; and in your virtue knowledge; 6 and in your knowledge self-control; and in your'self-control patience; and in your patience godliness; 7 and in your godliness brotherly kindness; and in your brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, they make you to be not idle nor unfruitful unto the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Col. 3:1-2  If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God. 2 Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are upon the earth. 3 For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

Rom 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

Eph. 4:22-24  that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, that waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit; 23 and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind, 24 and put on the new man, that after God hath been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

1 Ch. 16:10-11 Glory ye in his holy name; Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah. 11 Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore.

Oden said, “Having a desire to know more about the eternal world and the future of those who love and trust in God, I found myself in the spirit upon the balcony of a large room. Before me, on a platform was Jesus sitting in a golden chair. Jesus was wearing glorious garments and His countenance was serious. He appeared to be about 15 feet tall and the angels who were standing on each side of Him with open books were about 10 feet tall. (This could be in type Oden describing the Bema Seat Judgment of Christ for all the saints at the very end.)

In front of a banister on a lower level stood 10 men dressed in long black robes; two of whom I discerned were Moses and Elijah. The proceedings were very solemn but I could not hear what was being said. Jesus, who was the Judge, looked at these men and they looked at Him and He smiled such a smile that it thrilled me through and through and everyone was happy Because Jesus was smiling. 

Then Jesus said as in “Mat. 25:21,23  His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord. ...23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will set thee over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy lord."

After saying this, He gestured with a move of His arm to a large open door on His right, that I could not see through. Jesus’ smile caused the joy to linger as these men filed through the open door to His right.

Then 10 more men immediately filed in to stand before Jesus the Judge and the same serious proceedings took place. The Judge smiled and gestured for them to enter in to the door on His right saying, “Well done, faithful servant, enter into the joy of thy Lord.”

Then the third group was reviewed and Jesus was less happy with their accomplishments, but none the less He smiled and said, “Enter into the joy of thy Lord.”

At this point I wanted to go through the door and see what was there, so I asked God to allow me to see what was through the mysterious doorway. Once on the other side, everything was bright - their clothing, their surroundings, their faces. It seemed we were outside under a bright sky. Everyone was joyful and excited as they happily greeted one another and talked of the glorious future that awaited them.

I got the impression that this judgement I was witnessing was the last solemn and feared event and that everyone who went through it looked forward to nothing but bliss. Being impressed in my spirit that there was more to learn back at the judgment proceedings, I went back to the balcony where the judgments were still taking place.

By this time the works of those being judged were not producing smiles on the countenance of the Judge. I understood that those with large rewards were judged first and now the Judge was sad because he could not give to these people a large reward also.

After a time the deeds of those being judged actually produced sadness in Jesus, who should have been smiling and making everyone present happy. This sadness was felt by all those who were assembled there, the same way as His previous smiles had produced joy earlier in the proceedings.

Near the end of the proceedings, I noticed that those being judged had absolutely no works at all for which to be rewarded. All the works they had done on earth were for themselves and done for selfish motives for the purpose of self-glorification and self-aggrandizement. They did not do unto others as they would have others do unto them, therefore they suffered by reason of their loss.

The Judge, Jesus, also suffered with them for He was touched by the feelings of their sorrows. But there was nothing He could do, for they had chosen to live as they had lived.

1 Co. 3:11-15  For other foundation can no man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 But if any man buildeth on the foundation gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13 each man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself shall prove each man's work of what sort it is. 14 If any man's work shall abide which he built thereon, he shall receive a reward. 15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as through fire.

In the Most Holy Place the Elect of God live close to the bright throne of God and they are dressed in light so bright that you can only see them if you are one of them. The saints who live in the outer city mansions only see these saints who live in the chamber mansions of the Most Holy place as very bright lights.

1 Co. 15:41-43  There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differeth from another star in glory. 42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: 43 it is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: 

No one enters the Most Holy Place; the Holy of Holies in Heaven without first receiving a desire to do so from the Spirit of God. These must have been willing to suffer with Christ while on earth. (We must suffer the crucified to self life by obedience to the Word rather than self.)

Rom. 8: 16-17  The Spirit himself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are children of God: 17 and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him 

The call of the Spirit to enter this sacred abode comes to those who looked beyond the things of this world and who pressed with heart and soul towards the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Php. 3:13-14  Brethren, I could not myself yet to have laid hold: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, 14 I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

It would seem that being close to the throne, we would be blinded by the light but this is not the case. Because those who are allowed to come close to God on His Throne are given a brighter glory and this makes it possible to see God. It is God Himself who choses who comes near Him.

Psalm 65:4  Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, That he may dwell in thy courts: We shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, Thy holy temple.

Mat. 5:8  Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

People Have a tendency to be fearful of God because of their failures. Even some devoted saints are so afraid of God that they avoid God and don’t seek His presence. But God does not see your failures. He sees a beloved child within the righteousness of Jesus. And God, your Heavenly Father, would love to have you come near Him. (We must remember that we are justified by faith that He nailed our sins on that cross and gave us His life.)

Eph. 2:13  But now in Christ Jesus ye that once were far off are made nigh in the blood of Christ.

Heb. 10:22-23  let us draw near with a true heart in fulness of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience: and having our body washed with pure water, 23 let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not; for he is faithful that promised:

God is not an old man with hollow cheeks and a long white beard, whose delight is to punish sins and sinners. No. He loves those who seek to do His will, even though we sometimes fail Him; and He is drawing us to Himself by the circumstances of life. Most people just don’t seek God until things get bad, so sometimes God lets things get so bad that we will seek Him. If we seek Him when things go well, then He will make things go well for us to seek Him more.

To stand on the Sea of Glass and look into the face of God is to look into the face of the One who loves you and delights to see YOU. You will never be the same after this experience. Look forward to that day with confidence.

Mat. 10:32  Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven.

Pro. 8:17  I love them that love me; And those that seek me diligently shall find me.

The Bride Receives Gifts; Enters the Holy of Holies

Marie Kelton - July 2021 (David’s notes in red)

On 7-12-21 during one of the morning meetings, the Lord gave me an open vision. I saw myself (Marie here is representing the corporate Body of the Bride) dressed as queen sitting next to Jesus. He was also dressed in royal garments. I saw these white beings. I don't know if they were angels or people, but they were walking up to me and each one of them had a gift for me. (I saw this three times on three different days.) 

The verse that came to me was Isa 60:6 (In context 1-21) Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon thee. 2 For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. 3 And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. 4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to thee; thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be carried in the arms. 5 Then thou shalt see and be radiant, and thy heart shall thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned unto thee, the wealth of the nations shall come unto thee. 6 The multitude of camels shall cover thee, the dromedaries of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praises of Jehovah… 10 And foreigners shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee: for in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favor have I had mercy on thee. 11 Thy gates also shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor night; that men may bring unto thee the wealth of the nations, and their kings led captive. 12 For that nation and kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted… 

14 And the sons of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee The city of Jehovah, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel. 15 Whereas thou hast been forsaken and hated, so that no man passed through thee, I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy of many generations. 16 Thou shalt also suck the milk of the nations, and shalt suck the breast of kings; and thou shalt know that I, Jehovah, am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob. 17 For brass I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood brass, and for stones iron. I will also make thy officers peace, and thine exactors righteousness... 21 Thy people also shall be all righteous; they shall inherit the land for ever, the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified. 

Then on 7-17-21 at the Friday night meeting, the Lord gave me an open vision of a doorway that was dark on the inside but it had white curtains covering it. I saw the Lord he was wearing all white. He pulled back one of the curtains and walked through the doorway, I knew it was the Holy of Holies. Then he took me by the hand and we both entered into the Holy of Holies. I knew in the vision I was wearing white also. (As we saw in Oden Hetrick’s testimony that I just shared, the Bride will achieve that sun/Son glory that allows her to always be in the presence of God and beholding His face continually for eternity.)

The thought came to me to get a confirmation for this vision during the meeting by opening up our song book by faith at random. I got a random song from the song book. It was the song, “Take Me In" to the Holy of Holies. God is so awesome! Thank you Jesus. :o)

 

I Will Give Thee the Crown of Life

Vanessa Weeks - 8/14/21 (David’s notes in red)

I thought of this vision that the Lord gave me in late July 2021 when David read us some of these scriptures in Friday night's meeting.

In late July 2021, I had a quick vision of me humbling myself and bowing my head and a silver crown was placed on my head. (Humbling ourselves to the Lord and obeying His Word and not the religions and traditions of men will bring us the crown of life.) (Jas 1:12  Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord promised to them that love him.) (At the time when the Man-child comes to lead the Bride, at the beginning of the tribulation I believe she will have a silver crown which represents 60 fold fruit. As His guidance leads her into more purity during the tribulation, I believe she will receive a golden crown, representing 100 fold fruit. This seems to fit with Jesus coming for the Bride in His day, which John the Baptist identified as those first disciples who grew into His image as He taught them.)

(So this humbling themselves to the Word brings about this increase in purity and fruit.) Php 2:5-9  Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6  who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7  but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8  And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9  Therefore God has highly exalted him.

This is the verse in Rev. 2:10 that Angelica received last night and then David read it also. This was a confirmation of my vision. Rev 2:10  Fear not the things which thou art about to suffer: behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

Mar 15:17  And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and twisting together a crown of thorns, they put it on him. (Because of Jesus bearing the crown of thorns, we can humble ourselves to the word.) (The crown of thorns of the crucified life will bring us to crowns of silver and gold as the high priest received in Zec. 6:11.)

This is the only verse I found about a silver crown, (which is on the high priest who is a type of Jesus who is our example.) Zec 6:11 yea, take of them silver and gold, and make crowns, and set them upon the head of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest;

 

Suffering the Loss of our Old Life to Have our New Life Forever

Scriptures: David Eells - 8/13/21

Rom 8:13  for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Mat 10:34  Think not that I came to send peace on the earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. 35  For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law: 36  and a man's foes shall be they of his own household. 37  He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38  And he that doth not take his cross and follow after me, is not worthy of me. 39  He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

Joh 12:24  Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a grain of wheat fall into the earth and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it die, it beareth much fruit. 25  He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26  If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will the Father honor.

1Co 9:23  And I do all things for the gospel's sake, that I may be a joint partaker thereof. 24  Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain. 25  And every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self-control in all things. Now they do it to receive a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26  I therefore so run, as not uncertainly; so fight I, as not beating the air: 27  but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

Luk 13:6  And he spake this parable; A certain man had a fig tree planted in his vineyard; and he came seeking fruit thereon, and found none. 7  And he said unto the vinedresser, Behold, these three years I come seeking fruit on this fig tree, and find none: cut it down; why doth it also cumber the ground? 8  And he answering saith unto him, Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it, and dung it: 9  and if it bear fruit thenceforth, well; but if not, thou shalt cut it down.

Jas 1:2  Count it all joy, my brethren, when ye fall into manifold temptations; 3  knowing that the proving of your faith worketh patience. 4  And let patience have its perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing. 5  But if any of you lacketh wisdom, let him ask of God, who giveth to all liberally and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. 6  But let him ask in faith, nothing doubting: for he that doubteth is like the surge of the sea driven by the wind and tossed. 7  For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord; 8  a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways.

2Pe 2:2  And many shall follow their lascivious doings; by reason of whom the way of the truth shall be evil spoken of. 3  And in covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose sentence now from of old lingereth not, and their destruction slumbereth not. 4  For if God spared not angels when they sinned, but cast them down to hell, and committed them to pits of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5  and spared not the ancient world, but preserved Noah with seven others, a preacher of righteousness, when he brought a flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6  and turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, having made them an example unto those that should live ungodly; 7  and delivered righteous Lot, sore distressed by the lascivious life of the wicked 8  (for that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their lawless deeds): 9  the Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment unto the day of judgment; 10  but chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of defilement, and despise dominion. Daring, self-willed, they tremble not to rail at dignities:

Jas 5:9  Murmur not, brethren, one against another, that ye be not judged: behold, the judge standeth before the doors. 10  Take, brethren, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spake in the name of the Lord. 11  Behold, we call them blessed that endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.

Rom 8:17  and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified with him. 29  because to you it hath been granted in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer in his behalf: 

2 Th 1:4 so that we ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which ye endure; 5  which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God; to the end that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer: 

1Pe 2:20  For what glory is it, if, when ye sin, and are buffeted for it, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer for it, ye shall take it patiently, this is acceptable with God.

1Pe 3:14  But even if ye should suffer for righteousness' sake, blessed are ye: and fear not their fear, neither be troubled;

1Pe 4:19  Wherefore let them also that suffer according to the will of God commit their souls in well-doing unto a faithful Creator.

Rev 2:10  Fear not the things which thou art about to suffer: behold, the devil is about to cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee the crown of life.

 

Painful Leap of Faith to Life 

Andrew Gelinas - 8/25/21 (David’s notes in red)

In my dream, my family and I were walking together as we entered a large building in the middle of a grassy wilderness area. (This represents the 7 year wilderness tribulation that we are about to enter into. The large building is the Tabernacle in the wilderness where the presence of the Lord is.)

After entering the wide open concrete structure, we all scaled up some stairs to the highest point just below the ceiling. (We have been ascending into heavenly places to be seated with Christ for many years through sanctification from the world and its ways.) We now stood on an Olympic style high diving platform. My family stood just behind me as I prepared to dive. (Now we are at a point in our walk and in History where we must prepare ourselves to take that leap of faith and trust the Lord for our provision and protection in the tribulation wilderness. The vaccine mandates are just the beginning of God separating the wheat from the tares.) I peered over the edge of the platform and became slightly unnerved when I perceived the water’s surface below to be around ninety feet down. (The enemy tries to tempt us with fear, doubt and unbelief concerning our safety and provision that God has promised us, especially in the light of all the things that are currently happening in the world. We are very close to the beginning of the 7 years of tribulation spoken of in the Book of Daniel and in Revelation.

In Hebrew the character Tsade is used to represent the number 90. The spiritual number 90 means ‘Saints Sifted’. The meaning the number 10 is ‘Testimony’. The number 9 means ‘Judgment’. 10 x 9 = 90. It can also mean ‘Division’ represented by the number 2. 45 is the number of ‘Preservation’. 2 x 45 = 90. It can also mean ‘Weakness’  represented by the number 5 times 18 representing ‘Bondage’. 5 x 18 = 90. 

The rabbis picture Tsade as a ‘Trap’ or a ‘Fishing Hook’ that catches the fish. The root word ‘Tzod’ means to hunt, to trap, or to catch. Christians picture Tsade as ‘Saints Suffering’. The letter Tsade looks like the figure of a Man (Vav) bent over with a Sword (Zayin) in his back! 

In the classical Hebrew script, the Zayin is displayed as a Yod, a symbol of the Hand of God’s discipline. Yod can represent any authority in life. The suffering may be due recompense, or it may not be deserved. 

The 90th Psalm, where Moses contemplates the suffering in a long life says, “You have set our iniquities before you, our secret sins in the light of your presence. All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our days with a moan.” (Psalm 90:8-9) 

The 90th Verse of the Bible is Genesis 4:10. After Cain killed Abel, God spoke to him and said, “What have you done? Your brother’s blood cries to me from the ground!”  

A mention of the number 90 in Scripture is where Abraham said, “Shall a child be born unto him that is an hundred years old? and shall Sarah, that is ninety years old, bear?” (Gen. 17:17) The number 90 is associated with sorrows and sufferings and of travails when strength is spent.

Andrew went on to say: As I thought about how dangerous this dive would most likely be, a square opening appeared in the center of the platform we were standing on. When I looked into the new opening, the water’s surface somehow appeared to be only a few feet down. (The easier path doesn’t seem as dangerous to our flesh but in reality it is extremely dangerous to our spiritual man and our eternal life, because we are avoiding death to self which keeps us from manifesting resurrection life.)

Then, as I considered which dive to take, the thought entered my mind that I didn’t really want to get the white shirt and white shorts I was wearing wet. (Excuses will lengthen the trial and its resulting fruit.) Just then, the water in the easy dive spot was instantly adjusted to meet my concern and a giant whirlpool opened up. (Representing the enemy’s temptations for us to take the wide road or the easy path to avoid going to our cross and letting the old man be crucified.)

I instantly perceived the obvious irony as I gazed down the center of the swirling vortex. I wouldn’t have to worry about getting any water on my white clothes now, only my own blood, as I would certainly be splatted on the exposed and dry tile floor of the pool about a hundred feet down through the center of the funnel! (Without the Water of the Word to kill our old nature we will lose our spiritual life. John 12:25 He that loveth his life loseth it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.)

I thought “What am I going to do now?” as I stood there, basically wasting time. I was not really wanting to take either leap. Then, I heard a commotion coming from my children on my right. I looked and saw Evelyn, my five year old daughter, who was now tumbling in mid-air just off the right side of the platform. (This appears to be a short cut by not diving off of the end of the board. Immature Christians love short cuts but they don’t meet with the same success. There is a time to dive. It is at the end of the board.) 

With the faith of a child, she had thrown herself clear off of the ninety foot high platform. (The number 5 represents grace. The name Evelyn is of Hebrew origin: meaning, "life”. It is also of Latin origin: meaning, “bird”. We as Christians are commanded have child-like faith. We receive grace from God to take these leaps of faith and soar like birds with Eagle’s wings above the curses of this world.)

My oldest son Ayden, who is 12, shouted, “Evelyn! What are you doing?!!!” She then confidently replied, “I know how to do this. Look, I just do it like this.” (Self confidence is not faith.) She closed her eyes and smiled as she brought her hands together just above her head, in a pose that could be perceived as both diving or praying. (It takes a lot of prayer to get us through the deep dives of faith in life.)

I hurried over to the edge and cringed when I saw that all the way down the wall, to the water, on the side she jumped from, there were a number of sporadically positioned padded, yet sturdy, cylindrical beams protruding out several feet from the wall. (Often times our family members freak out when we choose to take a leap of faith because they are looking at the situation with their natural eyes and understanding. They become fearful for us and our attempts to have child-like faith, trusting in the Word of God.)

All I could do was watch, as my poor little girl began to helplessly slam into the beams, one after another as she descended. (This failure was obviously due to self confidence and taking short cuts that do not include faith.) I didn’t want to wait to see her hit the water, so I turned to run down the stairs to retrieve her. 

But before I even stepped one foot off of the platform, Evelyn reappeared, though badly banged up, back at the top of the stairs. It was as if she had been instantly transported just before she would have slammed into the surface of the water and before her wounds could even begin to fully show. (This represents the trials that God puts us through in life especially when we are young and immature in the Lord and overly confident in our own abilities. This is faith in us and not faith in God. These woundings make us grow up and mature in Christ and teach us patience and perseverance so that we can be useful to our brethren because of our own experiences. Sometimes we don’t meet with a perfect result on our first try, but each time we fail less than the first time.)

She had large impact contusions on the right side of her face that didn’t begin to bleed until after a few seconds. In the same way, she had large bruised areas on the right side of her torso, right arm, and leg, that didn’t began to swell up until seconds later. And just like when children suffer a fall in the natural, the initial shock quickly wore off, and the reality of the trauma she had just experienced began to cause her to let out a pitiful little sob as she limped back to her mommy, who was standing at my right, for comforting. Then I woke up. (Just as Jesus suffered, we too must suffer in this life but thankfully we have the original Word from the original Church, who is our Mother, to comfort us and mature us quickly and bring healing to our souls.)

 

Get Rid of the Spirit of Rejection! - Today is the Day of Salvation!

Debbie Fenske - 7/19/21 

Father spoke this Word to me to share with His people:

“There are many of you here nursing a spirit of rejection. Yes, it exists among you, from the least to the oldest. You must stop it! This is not a malady. This is not something you treat with pills and potions, or worldly counseling, or even godly counseling. And it is not to spiritually humble you. But it breaks you down. It has been a demonic stronghold in your life. It has kept you from the freedom of my Spirit. It has kept you withdrawn into yourself. I have not planned for you to be that way. But I desire you to be free! I bought that freedom for you. This is something you must repent of and you must cast it down, and lay it upon me, on the cross. I bore that rejection. It was nailed to the cross with me. Don’t you believe that I truly bore rejection so that you don’t have to? I did! So repent, and cast it down, and stomp it under your feet. I want you to be free to the fullest. Oh, so few of my people know that freedom. They say they do, but they do not! Rejection is in the way. And your deliverance is now. It is today. Today is the day of salvation. Today is the day of your freedom from the spirit of rejection. Be free so you can come away with me, My Beloved. Come!”

Father, thank you for your sovereignty over all things... Thank you for your exhortation, and command, to get rid of the spirit of rejection. Thank you, Father, that we can, because you took a world of rejection upon yourself on the cross. You did that for us so that we can be free. And we thank you that we can repent, cast it down, and put that spirit of rejection under our feet and send it back to the cross where you bore it for us. Thank you, Lord, for freedom from the spirit of rejection, and from the spirit of fear of rejection. And so, Father, we come to you, free! Amen!

Deliverance From Rejection and its Fear:
