GOD's Eight Healing Delivery Vehicles

You can be healed and there are "Eight Healing Delivery Vehicles" GOD will use to do it for you. One of these ways requires no faith on the part of the one being healed. This is healing by the anointing.

The other seven requires one of more acts of faith on the part of the one being healed and/or the one ministering the healing. Of these two, faith is by far the most dependable.

Oral Roberts said that you can not always depend upon the anointing to heal you, but you can depend upon faith.

The anointing is wonderful when GOD works it but HE works it in a sovereign way. In other words, you have no control nor power over it.

GOD heals with it when HE chooses and does not heal with it when HE does not choose to heal this way. When the anointing is operating, faith may not be required at all on the part of the one being healed.

Faith, on the other hand, will always come through for you. Oral Roberts a respected man of GOD and of faith I believe had first hand knowledge of what he was talking about.

He has seen GOD miraculously heal with HIS anointing in his various camp meetings; and have also seen GOD miraculously heal in response to faith in those meetings.
 
As we said previously, of the eight ways GOD heals HIS children, only one of them doesn’t necessarily require faith: healing by the anointing.

All the other seven require faith. In many, many great healing meetings held around the world today, those who are not healed can still be healed by faith when the anointing passed them by.

Remember this: in most of these meetings, the anointing will pass by a great many of those needing healing, leaving them still not healed.

They still can be healed! Yes! They can still be healed!

Healing Delivery Vehicle #1
GOD delivers your healing through his anointing (Acts 19: 11-12) and the gifts of healing (1 Corinthians 12: 8-11).

Healing Delivery Vehicle #2
GOD delivers your healing through the laying on of hands.
(Mark 16:18)

Healing Delivery Vehicle #3
GOD delivers your healing with HIS anointing oil combined with the prayer of faith.
(Mark 6:13)

Healing Delivery Vehicle #4
GOD delivers your Healing by your believing and then speaking HIS WORD.
(Mark 11:23)

Healing Delivery Vehicle #5
GOD delivers your Healing through the agreement on earth by two or more people.
(Matt 18:19-20)

Healing Delivery Vehicle #6
GOD delivers your Healing by your believing that you receive it when you pray.
(Mark 11:24)

Healing Delivery Vehicle #7
GOD delivers your healing through the LORD's Supper when you understand it and receive it by faith. (I Corinthians 11:26-30)

Healing Delivery Vehicle #8
GOD delivers your healing through using JESUS' NAME like a battering ram and a sledge hammer.
(John 14:13-14)

These Eight Healing Delivery Vehicles GOD left us in HIS WORD to help HIS children get their healing can be worked by anyone. Thank GOD you do not have to be a theologian. You do not have to be an elder. You do not have to be a pastor. You do not have to be a deacon.

These Eight Delivery Vehicles work! Just make up your mind to work them and then do it. Supernatural things will happen for you.

I pray blessings upon your life and this ancient holy apostolic ministry. Now through the intercession of the blessed apostles Peter and Paul, may the peace of GOD, which is beyond all understanding, keep your heart and mind in the knowledge and love of GOD and of HIS SON, our LORD. In the name of the FATHER, and of the SON and the HOLY GHOST. Amen…

GOD Is Stronger Than Your Fears And Anxieties

At times, our fears and anxieties may seem too powerful to overcome, however there is one person who is stronger than your fears and that is the power of GOD. GOD can be a powerful ally in overcoming our fears, however a person must know where to begin.

The key is to talk to GOD about your problem and then use HIM as your main foundation in overcoming your fears (False Evidence Appearing Real). A person can go to church or to a quiet place during the day to tell GOD that they are having a problem. They should tell GOD how they feel and ask GOD for some of HIS help.

Each and every day, a person should make it up a habit to talk to GOD and ask for HIS help.

Rely on GOD on a regular basis. Believe that HE will help you overcome your F.E.A.R.s. A person can read the Bible, go to church, or join a small church group where members pray for one another. Get in the habit of including GOD in your life. As you do these things, it will be easier to trust in HIM with your problems.

When using the help of GOD to manage your fears, a person needs to be aware of how GOD is working in their life. Most of the time GOD works in mysterious ways and the answers HE provides might not be that obvious. A person must be aware of GOD being in their life even when they are dealing with their fears and anxieties.

Continue to seek help in managing your fears. Talking to a minister, priest or counselor can give you additional advice and insights on how to deal with your current problem. Remember that there is nothing wrong in asking for help and assistance.

Finally, the most important thing is to continue praying and talking to GOD. Talk to GOD as if you were talking to a friend. Talk to GOD as if you were Tweeting or posting on Facebook. Read the Bible and pray hard. Be persistent and be open in the avenues that GOD may provide to you in solving your problem. It is not always easy, however GOD is in control and HE will help you if you ask HIM.

Why not try JESUS, find you a good church home and attend tomorrow....

"Yes it was Delayed....but it did Manifest"

As I've stated at the very beginning of my blogging ministry, I shared with you that the LORD called me into this apostolic ministry to prepare the church/kingdom, in that we would advance into new levels and dimensions that would blow your mind.... Despite the perception that I would be ridiculed, mocked and taken so not seriously, I also shared that like Noah was instructed to build an ark because it was going to rain (and no one knew what rain was; remember prior to the flood there was the dew that came up out of the earth, but never water that came down out of the sky), I was instructed to build a spaceship and even now as before I must decree and declare that GOD is calling us beyond our fathers (and mothers) in ministry.

Today according to the Jewish Calendar, we are (still) in the month of Cheshvan (read my previous blog to learn more about Cheshvan).  Today is the 17th of Cheshvan in the Jewish Year of 5774, but in the Jewish Year of 1656 on this day (just seven days after the death of Methuselah), as Noah preached/prophesied,  the rain began to fall, flooding the earth, and waters rose beyond the highest mountains.... "Yes in fact, it was delayed, but it did Manifest."

The Bible declared in Genesis 6:1-7 (Contemporary English Version), "More and more people were born, until finally they spread all over the earth. Some of their daughters were so beautiful that supernatural beings came down and married the ones they wanted. Then the LORD said, "I won't let my life-giving breath remain in anyone forever. No one will live for more than one hundred twenty-years." The children of the supernatural beings who had married these women became famous heroes and warriors. They were called Nephilim and lived on the earth at that time and even later. The LORD saw how bad the people on earth were and that everything they thought and planned was evil. HE was very sorry that HE had made them, and HE said, "I'll destroy every living creature on earth! I'll wipe out people, animals, birds, and reptiles. I'm sorry I ever made them."

I guess I done opened up a teaching moment here (that's what I do best - so I'll have at it), the "Great Flood" as we've termed it happened in what we call the "Antediluvian Dispensation" which extends from the "Fall" of man to the "Great Flood". This dispensation lasted for 1656 years, and was the Dispensation of "Conscious".  It shows what man will do when guided only by his conscious. Adam and Eve had no conscious before the "Fall". Conscious is a knowledge of good and evil, and this Adam and Eve did not have until they ate of the fruit of the forbidden tree. Conscious may produce fear and remorse, but it will not keep men from doing wrong as conscious imparts no power or ability in and of itself.

It is probable that the LORD explained to Adam the significance of making a blood sacrifice for sin but interesting that Adam is not mentioned as making such a sacrifice, but yet Abel did.  Now understand, before the "Fall" Adam and Eve had no children, they were created for purposes revealed by GOD in Genesis 1:8, "Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth." Uh - oh, "replenish" (now here I go again) in the words, "replenish the earth" we have unmistakable evidence that the earth had been populated before it was thrown into chaos (somewhere between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2, I have some interesting teachings on this time period). So before the earth was found without form and void (in Genesis 1:2), the earth had inhabitants that had been destroyed; it does not follow, however that those inhabitants were human as no human remains have been found antedating the creation account of Genesis; however there was evidence of human-like creatures called "neanderthals" and they've found evidence of "pre-historic" creatures (i.e., dinosaurs, etc.)

Hitting the Fast Forward Button....

Adam and Eve had children, two sons in particular at first Cain and Abel (I have more teachings on this but they are not in sync with the authorized writings found in the Torah (books of Law)). Cain as you know killed his brother, Abel's blood cried out; Cain was ordered by GOD to leave home and he found himself in the place of "wandering" a city called, "Nod" there he found and knew a wife - so if you're a biblical literalistic kind of person (which I am not) if there was only Adam, Eve - who gave birth to Abel and Cain, where did Cain's wife come from? 

So in this place of "wandering" this godless civilization, an interesting thing happened. In Genesis 6, it tells us that the "Sons of GOD" saw the "daughters of men".... okay okay okay, don't worry (in my daughter's voice)... The title "Sons of GOD" doesn't mean the same thing in the Old Testament as it does in the New. In the New Testament it applies to those who have become the Sons of GOD (by adoption) by a new birth experience; in the Old Testament it applies to the angels.  A "Son of GOD" denotes being brought into existence by a creative act of GOD. Such were the angels... Adam was created in the image and likeness of GOD, but his descendants were born in his likeness; we read in Genesis 5:3, that Adam begat a son in his own likeness, after his image. Therefore all men born of Adam are the "Sons of Men", and it is only by being "Born Again" (John 3:3-7), which is a "New Creation" so that they can become the "Sons of GOD" in a New Testament sense....

Luke 17:20-30, "Some Pharisees asked JESUS when GOD's kingdom would come. HE answered, "GOD's kingdom isn't something you can see.  There is no use saying, 'Look! Here it is' or 'Look! There it is.' GOD's kingdom is here with you."  JESUS said to HIS disciples: The time will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not. When people say to you, "Look there," or "Look here," don't go looking for HIM. The day of the Son of Man will be like lightning flashing across the sky.  But first HE must suffer terribly and be rejected by the people of today.  When the Son of Man comes, things will be just as they were when Noah livedPeople were eating, drinking, and getting married right up to the day when Noah went into the big boat. Then the flood came and drowned everyone on earth.  When Lot lived, people were also eating and drinking. They were buying, selling, planting, and building. But on the very day Lot left Sodom, fiery flames poured down from the sky and killed everyone. The same will happen on the day when the Son of Man appears."

Where, you say is the sin in doing these things (eating, drinking, marrying)? The sin is not in "doing" them, but doing them "Until the Flood Came". That is, they did nothing else. They forgot to worship the LORD. So today we're so consumed with everything and everyone  - we've neglected to secure reservations in our Father's house where there are many mansions.... Remember, the preacher in Noah preached it was gonna rain - no one heard him and even when it was supposed to happen it didn't; the death of Methuselah prompted the earth to grieve seven days - so the very act was delayed, but my GOD just seven days later, rain manifested...

I don't know what GOD has promised you on such and such a date by word of prophecy, if it doesn't happen then and you believe HIS WORD is true....then just say amen, because it's going to happen. Delay has never been a denial, but so many times we're so accustomed to the denial we don't comprehend the delays in our life....Not only am I suggesting that manifestation is coming but when it finally did begin to rain and flood, it lasted a full year. What GOD is preparing you for is not a one time deal, this time it will be done in an abundance, an overflow (if you will). Don't think for one moment that GOD has forgotten about you (that's contrary to HIS WORD and to HIS character - as HE knows the number of hairs on our heads). Just like GOD remembered Noah and everything that was with him in the ark, GOD is going to remember you and those people attached to you...so be careful that you're not hoodwinked in this season of walking into your prepared (but delayed) blessing, the very reason for your delay maybe GOD allowing you time to clean up your environment that when you walk into what HE has prepared for you - you'll be attached to the right people that can celebrate the blessings of GOD on your life....rather than them other people that hate it when GOD does something for you....

I was talking with a friend in the Gospel this morning who rehearsed in my hearing, that people get mad when I'm praying for ribs and you praying for hotdogs; that when my ribs manifest you get mad when your hotdog shows up....if you wanted ribs then you should have prayed for ribs....I'm no longer going for the "Anyway you bless me LORD, I'll be satisfied..." No, I'm learning in this season to pray with sincerity, pray specifically and pray with expectation that HE's going to do it.... text three people and just say, "HE's gonna do it..."
Talk to me Apostle Paul (I Corinthians 2:9), "....what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived, the things GOD has prepared for those who love HIM...."
Notice what Noah does as the storms cease - he sent a raven (a dirty bird) out of the ark to test the conditions around them, but the raven was uncooperative (I'm telling you GOD wants you to release the ravens of your life); afterwards in seven days, he sent out a dove (three times actually, yeah I'm like Deitrick Haddon, I know my Bible)....when the dove returned, Noah received a favorable indicator that it was time to walk into his new assignment...and GOD said, in Genesis 8:22, "As long as the earth remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat; winter and summer, day and night." 
I pray blessings upon your life and this ancient holy apostolic ministry. Now through the intercession of the blessed apostles Peter and Paul, may the peace of GOD which is beyond all understanding, keep your heart and mind in the knowledge of GOD and of HIS SON, our LORD....

Where are We?

I know it's been such a long time since I've posted here; allow me to share what I've just posted on Facebook....don't know when I'll be back again, so let me help you today (in the here and now)....

I used to from time to time share as GOD would direct me as to where we are in regards or in contrast to the Hebraic calendar....There are so so many questions people I'm attached to are asking; what's going on? Where is GOD? Why is this and that happening???


Sometimes I get so caught up in technology, this morning I thumbed through the scriptures to answer an inbox someone sent me and found myself on Psalm 137, "By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down and wept....when we remembered Zion."

Where are we? Okay so we're in the Hebrew month, Cheshvan, (today is the 11th day of Cheshvan) which is referred to as Marcheshvan, the prefix of which is the word mar. In Hebrew, this word means “bitter.” Even Av, the month when we mourn the destruction of the two Holy Temples, is not referred to as “bitter,” because the sad days of the year offer us an opportunity for introspection, to contemplate where we have gone wrong. Thus, both the festive days and the negative days can be used to connect to spirituality. A month that is bereft (lacking) of any significant days, even sad days, is more bitter than anything, because there are no moments that arise to give us pause. 

This month of October is our 10th month; but Cheshvan is the Jewish 8th month (7 represents completion, 8 represents new beginnings - stay with me a minute)....

It is significant to note that the original name of this month was not Marcheshvan. This Babylonian name was adopted when the Jews went through the 70-year exile between the first and second temples. The original Hebrew name for the month was Bul, which denotes the idea of “drying up,” as the leaves begin to decay with the approach of Autumn. 

Clearly, the month of Marcheshvan, or Bul, as its name suggests, is a month of darkness and decay. Indeed, the biblical Book of Kings cites Bul as the month when King Solomon completed the construction of the first Temple – though the dedication did not take place until a year later, in the Hebrew month of Tishrei. What is the deeper significance of this, and what can we learn from it? 

Two Key Events:
If we search further, we find two other events that occurred in the month of Cheshvan. The first was the flood in the times of Noah. The flood began on the 17th of Cheshvan, and the waters receded by the following year on the 27th of Cheshvan, allowing Noah and the other inhabitants of the ark to disembark. Interestingly, one explanation of the name Bul is that it stems from this month as the beginning of the rainy season in Israel; it is thus connected to the word mabul, flood – an overabundance of rain. 

It is significant to note that the flood was originally intended to begin on the 11th of Cheshvan. However, Methuselah passed away, and thus the flood was delayed in deference to the seven-day period of mourning that followed his death. 

The second important event that occurred in Cheshvan seems unrelated at first glance. This was the death of Jacob's wife Rachel, on the 11th of Cheshvan of the year 2208 from creation (1553 BCE), as well as the birth of Benjamin. It was precisely the same day as Methusaleh's death, the very day that flood had originally been slated to begin. As there are no coincidences in the Scriptures, we must ask: What is the connection between these two events, and what do they reveal about the essence of the month of Cheshvan? 

In thinking about what the matriarch Rachel and her son Benjamin stand for, respectively, we can see that Rachel represents the Jewish people in exile, and Benjamin represents the completed state of the Jewish people in the Land of Israel. Rachel spent her entire life outside of Israel, and passed away just as Jacob and his family entered the holy land. 

In contrast, Benjamin is the last son of Jacob, the twelfth of the tribes, whose birth marks the completion of the people of Israel. He is also the only son of Jacob that is born in Israel, and thus represents the Jewish people's perfected state in the land of Israel. This is further underscored, by the fact that Saul, the first king of the Jewish people, came from the tribe of Benjamin. Furthermore, the miracle of Purim, which immediately preceded the return of the Jews to Israel and the building of the Second Temple, was brought about through the vehicle of Mordechai and Esther, who also came from the tribe of Benjamin. 

Exploring further, we see that the very death of Rachel resulted in the birth of Benjamin. This would correspond to the idea that the exile itself is that which births the redemption. The descent into darkness creates the potential for the future light. 

This theme can be seen in the flood, as well. Although the world in its previous state came to an end, at the same time, there was a new beginning which was being sown in the person of Noah. The very passing of Methusaleh opened the curtain for Noah to assume leadership of the next generation. The death of the previous order gave rise to a new potential for growth....

Now we can explain the essence of the month of Cheshvan, as brought to light by the events that occurred in this month. Cheshvan is a time that is “bitter,” for there seems to be no opportunities for growth and spiritual connection. It is a time of deterioration, as the leaves wither and the world enters a state of deep hibernation. And yet, it is also a time when the rains begin, when the potential for future growth is being sown. It is a time when spiritual darkness reigns, yet when spiritual growth begins deep beneath the surface. It is the moment when Rachel passes on, when all seems bleak, when the darkness of exile closes in; and it is the moment of the birth of Benjamin, the seed of the Jewish people's perfected state, which is sown in that very darkness. 

Cheshvan begins the extended time span between the last festival, Sukkot, and the next, Passover. In the meantime, the spiritual seeds planted during the Jewish month of Tishrei begin to take root – to be watered and to grow, finally appearing and bearing fruit in Nissan of next year. 

The message of Cheshvan is that despite the darkness, and even because of the darkness, there is future growth that awaits us. We have the opportunity to nurture that right at this moment. It is now that we gather the seeds from the holidays of the month of Tishrei, plant them, and carefully water them through the winter months. With GOD's help, we will soon marvel at the beautiful spring bounty that we merit to cultivate....as an Apostle of the LORD JESUS CHRIST, I'm urging you not to mourn the dead things in your life...but rather praise GOD for the beginning of something new (even in the midst of the darkness you and I may find ourselves today)....

I pray blessings upon your life and this ancient holy apostolic ministry. Now through the intercession of the blessed apostles Peter and Paul, may the peace of GOD, which is beyond all understanding, keep your heart and mind in the knowledge and love of GOD and of HIS SON, our LORD....

Surrounded By Lies - Don't be Decieved

Beloved of the LORD - I was reminded while in prayer as I've shared on FaceBook: "And we know that in all things GOD works for the good of those who love HIM, who have been called according to HIS purpose," (Romans 8:28)...From there I began to praise GOD and while praising GOD, I began to rebuke lies, lying spirits, lying tongues, spirits of delusion, intimidation, suicide, obsession, addictions and grandeur. 

Look at what the text says in II Thessalonians 2:1-2, 9-12, 16-17;  "Brothers and sisters, we have this request to make of you about our LORD JESUS CHRIST's coming and our gathering to meet HIM.  (2)  Don't get upset right away or alarmed when someone claims that we said through some spirit, conversation, or letter that the day of the LORD has already come.  (9)  The man of sin will come with the power of Satan. He will use every kind of power, including miraculous and wonderful signs. But they will be lies.  (10)  He will use everything that GOD disapproves of to deceive those who are dying, those who refused to love the truth that would save them.  (11)  That's why GOD will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe a lie.  (12)  Then everyone who did not believe the truth, but was delighted with what GOD disapproves of, will be condemned.  (16)  GOD our Father loved us and by his kindness gave us everlasting encouragement and good hope. Together with our LORD JESUS CHRIST,  (17)  may HE  encourage and strengthen you to do and say everything that is good."

How is it that man, in utter defiance, even in the face of what is obviously the outpouring of GOD’s wrath against man’s sin, still raises up his fist in GOD’s face and continues to follow after the beast and his system of government? The passage before us gives us insight into that question. Though there are issues beyond our comprehension here, it is centered around man’s delusion and deception, which occurs as a result of GOD’s judgment because of man’s failure to love the truth. Many get all bent out of shape over matters like GOD’s sovereignty, election, and predestination on one side, and on the other, the issues of man’s free will or responsibility to believe...Beloved, your arms are too short to box with GOD!!!



First, I want to remind you we are still according to the Hebraic Calendar in the month of Tammuz (read more about this in the previous blog entitled, "Standing in the Midst of it All". Second, I want to remind you that no matter how it looks in this season, no matter the opposition during this time period...GOD is working things out for us.  The enemy is surrounding us with lies and trying to make us think that GOD is not working things out; but if you believe the WORD of the LORD....let me encourage you again, "All things are working together for your good..." 

I don't care how the enemy says to you to give up, give in, surrender, throw in the symbolic towel...Children of GOD, hold on....let me say it again, "HOLD ON" because GOD is working behind the scenes, HE's on the stage, in the dressing room - HE's all over the situations that you and I both face and working things out for our GOOD!!!

Even if the enemy tells you he even doesn't like the fact that you yet have breath in your body, tell him I said - "Go to HELL, in the NAME of JESUS", and take his lies with him...Don't be Deceived Beloved...

II Thessalonians 2:11: "That's why GOD will send them a powerful delusion so that they will believe a lie."

I don't know how GOD's going to fix it; nor do I know when, but I do know (as HE's done for us so many times) - GOD's going to fix it for you!!! HE's making a way...HE's preparing us...HE's recalibrating us, retooling us...how do you know this Apostle Chambers? Because today, you're able to take things that two years ago (two months ago) you wouldn't be able to stand...You've been mistreated, and you finally learned how to pray for those that misuse you, hurt you, have it out for you....

So, let them continue to lie; GOD has so fixed it, that they even believe their own lies....Oh, but when GOD begins to unravel, uncover, dismantle, the lie and the liar....my GOD, my GOD!!! You continue to stand, you continue to do that which is right, continue to submit the situations to HIM in prayer...and don't turn your nose up at the enemy (HE just said)...don't get beside yourself...but I decree and declare that help from ZION has been dispatched. 

BREAKING NEWS: The LORD says to tell you, "Angels have been released...MY Hands are Upon You and this Situation..."

I pray blessings upon your life and this ancient holy apostolic ministry. Now through the intercession of the blessed apostles Peter and Paul, may the peace of GOD, which is beyond all understanding, keep your heart and mind in the knowledge and love of GOD and of HIS SON, our LORD. In the name of the FATHER, and of the SON and the HOLY GHOST. Amen…

Standing in the Midst of it ALL

I haven't blogged in quite awhile. Today is a day of celebration being the 4th of July, but also the day I will always remember my Uncle Freeman (one of GOD's greatest gifts to the body of CHRIST).  While as a minister of the gospel of CHRIST I should rejoice as the Bible declares, "...to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD", while yet I do rejoice, but also I ponder the question why from time to time???

The last month or so has been a whirlwind of sorts and even on tonight, body aching with pain, not able to sleep, hurt by people that I didn't think I'd ever get hurt by and again I ponder the question why??? Why me??? Then I heard a small voice saying, "why not you?"

As is my custom of late, I had to look for what season/month we're according to the Hebraic calendar; the 4th of July to us is the 2nd day of Tammuz (the 10th month of the Jewish/Hebraic calendar). It was following this information I came across the following passage:

 Ezekiel 8:14,  "HE brought me to the entrance of the north gate of the LORD'S temple. Women were sitting there and crying for the god Tammuz."

In this case, consideration of the use of the name in Ezekiel would make it appropriate to say that the name "Tammuz" brought down the Jewish People. The verse in Ezekiel 8:14 cited above speaks of the worship of a Babylonian idol, known as "Tammuz." And it seems most odd, at first glance, that this name would be chosen as the name of a Hebrew month. 

However, in the context of the month that we are dealing with, a month of tragedies which would lead to still greater tragedies, the appropriateness of the name becomes clear. The Prophet Ezekiel was being shown by GOD the reasons for HIS great Anger against the Jewish People, namely, the various forms of idol-worship which had been adopted by them to replace the Divine Service. This behavior would result, if the Jewish People would not repent, in the Destruction of the Once-Holy, but now desecrated, Temple.

Earlier Biblical Significance

We read in the Book of Joshua (10:11-14) of the Battle of  Joshua and the People of Israel against the five kings of the Emorite Nation. In the Biblical account, we find mention of "great stones" thrown, as it were, by GOD, upon the Emorites. This could refer to hail, as the verse itself mentions (Joshua 10:11). But in light of the great astronomical miracle detailed in the following verses (12-14), in which the sun and the moon are pictured as having not advanced, until the People of Israel had achieved complete victory, there is here the suggestion of a tremendous suspension of the paths in Heaven, perhaps caused by a contact of the Solar System with an intense meteor, or asteroid, shower.

Joshua 10:14, "Never before or after this day was there anything like it. The LORD did what a man told HIM to do, because the LORD fought for Israel."


As my assignment given to me by the LORD in 2010 was to build a spaceship of sorts....that GOD was taking us beyond our fathers or even beyond what our hearts and mind can conceive; a secret to success is found here in Joshua 10 - the LORD will grant our request; hearken unto our voice because HE fights for us...(if we just stay still)...


Just like the Prophet Ezekiel (in Ezekiel 8), I was at home, minding my own self business, trying to watch particular television shows that were clogging our DVR and there HIS power came upon me...and HE began to show me great, mighty and terrible things.  HE showed me not only those in leadership, but also those whom leadership depends upon to make the work of the ministry effective.  Too often we scold leadership for improprieties and fail to look at those who should be interceding for us.  


I am in one of the biggest challenges of my life and it would be rather easy (in a sense) to fall down, come down, give in, give up; I now wonder who is really praying for me? Who is standing in the gap for me, while I attempt to stand for those who look towards my leadership for examples, for my wisdom, for an answer to life's challenges.  

Like Ezekiel, I was shown where even today Christian men and women are doing things and believe that GOD doesn't see what it is they're doing behind closed doors; and said even now, there's more disgusting things that will be shown unto me....what perplexed me the more was how the women in v14 of chapter 8 were at the church crying about the absence of Tammuz.  

Here, GOD supernaturally reveals to the prophet some of the secret sins of the nation of Israel. One of these sins is lamenting for a pagan god named Tammuz. Who was Tammuz and why would women be weeping for him? The New Encyclopedia Britannica writes in the article "Tammuz": ". . . in Mesopotamian religion, god of fertility embodying the powers for new life in nature in the spring" (Vol. 11, p. 532).


The cult of Tammuz centred around two yearly festivals, one celebrating his marriage to the goddess Inanna, the other lamenting his death at the hands of demons from the netherworld. During the 3rd dynasty of Ur (c. 2112—c. 2004 BC) in the city of Umma (modern Tell Jokha), the marriage of the god was dramatically celebrated in February—March, Umma's Month of the Festival of Tammuz. . . . The celebrations in March—April that marked the death of the god also seem to have been dramatically performed. Many of the laments for the occasion have as a setting a procession out into the desert to the fold of the slain god. (ibid. Emphasis ours.)
Also, for those of you who can think outside the box and not get too caught up - this is also according to astrology (or the zodiac), the time for "Cancer". Why is this significant, because I mentioned in the beginning of my discourse about my hurts....


The "sign" of the month is "Sartan," "Cancer," or "The Crab," because a constellation which is observed at this time of year has the appearance of a crab. Also, the season is summer, and the hot weather of summer causes crabs to multiply in the water. Crabs pinch and hurt, and this month was basically a time in which the Jewish People were hurt...

I'm saying to you my sisters and brothers - there are at least 27 more days to go during this hurting season before we progress to the month of Av (which isn't any consolation, as Av represents a low place); but might I encourage you to Stand in the Midst of it All...  Your children may be getting on your last nerves; you have no direction concerning your court case; your spouse may have given up on you and your marriage; your mother may turn her back on you; your siblings may not understand you; your friends may walk away from you - but stand...

Stand for your children, your marriage, your church ministry, your Spiritual Leader; don't look at outward circumstances or listen to prophet's of doom and gloom.  Don't buy into that which is trendy, worldly, popular, convenient, easy, quick, thrifty, or advantageous...when it comes to standing for your spouse and your marriage, don't settle for a cheap imitation of GOD's real thing or try to lower HIS standards, twist HIS will; rewrite HIS WORD or violate HIS covenant...

Say this affirmation with me: "I am a STANDER, and I will not acquiesce, compromise, quarrel or quit.. I have made
the choice, set my face, entered the race, believed the WORD, and trusted GOD for all the outcome."

Ephesians 6:10-20  "Finally, receive your power from the LORD and from HIS mighty strength.  (11)  Put on all the armor that GOD supplies. In this way you can take a stand against the devil's strategies.  (12)  This is not a wrestling match against a human opponent. We are wrestling with rulers, authorities, the powers who govern this world of darkness, and spiritual forces that control evil in the heavenly world.  (13)  For this reason, take up all the armor that GOD supplies. Then you will be able to take a stand during these evil days. Once you have overcome all obstacles, you will be able to stand your ground.  (14)  So then, take your stand! Fasten truth around your waist like a belt. Put on GOD's approval as your breastplate.  (15)  Put on your shoes so that you are ready to spread the Good News that gives peace.  (16)  In addition to all these, take the Christian faith as your shield. With it you can put out all the flaming arrows of the evil one.  (17)  Also take salvation as your helmet and the word of GOD as the sword that the Spirit supplies.  (18)  Pray in the Spirit in every situation. Use every kind of prayer and request there is. For the same reason be alert. Use every kind of effort and make every kind of request for all of God's people.  (19)  Also pray that GOD will give me the right words to say. Then I will speak boldly when I reveal the mystery of the Good News.  (20)  Because I have already been doing this as CHRIST's representative, I am in prison. So pray that I speak about this Good News as boldly as I have to."

Be Blessed...and Stand (in the midst of it all)!!!

I pray blessings upon your life and this ancient holy apostolic ministry. Now through the intercession of the blessed apostles Peter and Paul, may the peace of GOD, which is beyond all understanding, keep your heart and mind in the knowledge and love of GOD and of HIS SON, our LORD. In the name of the FATHER, and of the SON and the HOLY GHOST. Amen…

An Appointed Time...for Miracles

Ecclesiastes 3:1, "There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven."(NASB)

Looking and loading pictures in my "Throwback Album" on FaceBook had me to ponder the way of the world in this present day; included therein was a picture of my baby brother and sister, which she couldn't have been more than 3 years old, but yet around her wrist was a wrist watch (if memory serves me right, it was an Authentic Mickey Mouse Watch by Disney). After wondering to myself if she still maintained possession of the watch, my mind reflected on today's up and coming youth, to the extent of today's youth (and even some of us - the youth of yesterday), not being able to tell the time via an analog watch/clock.  Everything around and about us has been digitized - just take a quick moment and look around you (right now), on the lower right hand of your screen (if you're reading this blog on a pc), there's the date and the time digitally so; look up at your cable/satellite television receiver (DVR) or your DVD (or VCR), the microwave oven, your cell phones - unless you're various devices allows an digital image of an analog clock setting, EVERYTHING is DIGITAL.

I'm not writing as a advocate for all things analog.  I appreciate this digital age we now reside - I am however concerned that by time I have grandchildren (no time soon I hope) that I won't be able to hand down the pocket watch, my dad gave me...it'll be this thing that needs polishing and when you open it up, there will just be this thing with two hands a few numbers; there will be no buttons to push, nothing to connect it to an I-Pad or an I-Phone...I can imagine them saying, "Thank Gramps" and later going home with their parents asking, "Dad/Mom, what is this thing my granddaddy gave me?"   

More so, as an Apostle of the LORD JESUS CHRIST  I have a dual responsibility, one to inform you as to what time it is...and to remind you of times past. For the last few years, I have been watching the Hebraic Calendar, it was not until recent that I have been more vocal in regards to the information that it provides me.  In my last two blogs, "Moving Beyond the Hurt...Towards Great Expectations" and "My Configuration is Changing" I provide a little insight into where we are and the direction we're headed; might I submit unto you the WORD of the LORD, "he that has ears, let him hear...we played (joyful) music for you, but you didn't dance, so we then played sad songs, but you didn't cry..." (my paraphrase of Matthew 11: 15, 17). In other words, I don't know what you will do with the prophetic insight available to you via these blogs, whether you will dance, cry or do nothing - it's all up to you. While you consider what to do or even if you should listen to me at all, I yet must CRY OUT until salvation and deliverance comes to your house (and to mine).  I have revealed to you in my first blog what the LORD said to me at the beginning of this year, when HE told me to prepare the Church/Kingdom to advance into new levels and areas that are outside this world - to build a "Space Ship" of sorts...Before you laugh at me (again), might I remind you to remember Noah, Founder & Senior Pastor of "The Ark."

Didn't It Rain Children? 
Rained 40 Days/Rained 40 Nights Without Stopping
Noah was Glad when the Rain Stopped Dropping
Knock at the Window/Knock at the Door
Crying, "Noah, can't you take on a few More?"
Noah cried, "No, you're full of Sin, GOD has the Key, you Can't Get In..."


Don't get caught left outside the space shuttle - because once we take off, that's it...

The Church is preparing to celebrate, "Holy Week" or the "Week of Passions" while another group our Jewish brothers/sisters is preparing to celebrate, "Passover" or "Pesach".  "Holy Week" begins with Sunday of the Passion of our LORD better known as "Palm Sunday." Here, we commemorate the entrance of the MESSIAH into Jerusalem, being celebrated by those who heard and some who witnessed the many accounts of miracles that were wrought at HIS HANDS.  Those who witness Lazarus being raised miraculously from the grave, others who were present on either occasion of the feeding miracles, perhaps some who looked on as HE walked on the water and allowed Peter to do likewise. Today was the day HE was celebrated by the masses as the people shouted HIS praise to the tune of "Hosanna! Blessed is HE who comes in the NAME of the LORD!" What interests me here is "Hosanna" has two simultaneous meanings: it is a cry for salvation, while at the same time it is a declaration of praise and adoration.  So it appears that the people were crying out for help ("FATHER, forgive them...") while yet agreeing the LORD is worthy of Praise!

"Passover" or the "Pesach" commemorates the Exodus account where Israel were made free from the bondage of slavery Egypt. Passover begins on the 15th day of the Hebraic month of Nisan (through the 22nd) and is celebrated for eight days.  In the Exodus account scripturally we're shown how the LORD delivers the Children of Israel from Egypt by inflicting 10 plaques (מכות מצרים, Makot Mitzrayim) upon the Egyptians before Pharaoh agrees to release Israel from bondage, the tenth and worst of the plagues being the slaughter of the first-born. The Israelites were to mark their doorposts with the blood of a lamb and by reason of seeing this sign, the spirit of the LORD would "PASS OVER" that home.  When Pharaoh finally agrees to allow Israel to make their exit, it is said in Judaism that they left so fast - that even while bread was baking in the oven, they opened the oven, grabbed the bread (which didn't get an opportunity to rise) and ate it on the run. This is why during the Passover, no leavened bread is eaten.  Herein, roughly 600,000 adult males, plus many more women and children, left Egypt and embarked on a journey towards Mount Sinai as the LORD's chosen.  

Even today firstborn males over the age of 13 are obligated to fast on the beginning of Passover in recognition of the fact that during the "Plague of the Firstborn" (which occurred at midnight of Nissan 15), the LORD passed over the Jewish firstborn when HE killed all firstborn Egyptians.  If there is a firstborn male in the family under the age of 13, the obligation to fast rests with the father.  So for instance, I'm the firstborn male in my family - but if my younger brother had a son under the age of 13, my brother would have to fast on tomorrow along with me.

Thirty days prior to Passover those who are keepers of Passover will actually inspect their homes and clean out any and all traces of chametz (any food made of grain and water that have been allowed to ferment and rise). That's right eight days of NO Wonder-bread, Frosted Flakes, German Chocolate Cake, Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, Pizza, Pasta (no beer neither). Basically, any processed food that is NOT certified "Kosher for Passover" shouldn't be eaten or even left in your pantry during this season. Also, during the Passover, as much as you allow your children to eat in their bedroom and you and your spouse eat dinner in the family room in front of the television - no food may leave the kitchen; and after eating, your clothes must be brushed off and your hands must be washed thoroughly (but you do that already I'm sure).


With Passover beginning, let's talk about miracles: Passover is full of miracles. From the introduction of Moses all the way through the parting of the Red Sea. I'd like to even consider regarding the 10 plagues as being the workings of the miraculous.  A miracle is defined as an event attributed to divine intervention; a perceived interruption of the laws of nature, while not fully explainable by the laws of nature. So when Aaron strikes the Nile and the waters turn into blood - miracle. Frogs, and more frogs overrun the land of Egypt - miracle; and the list goes on to include the other plagues that befell Egypt.  There was nothing done that that Moses could have learned when he from time to time would sit with the Egyptian priests, thus these were all wrought by the HAND and the WILL of the LORD.  Even the Egyptian sorcerers concluded that GOD's HAND was upon these acts because they were unable to duplicate them nor counter them with something greater. 

I mentioned in the previous blog that Nisan is the first month of the Jewish calendar and marks the New Year.  What I failed to mention is that while it's the first ecclesiastical month, it is the seventh civil month (both creation and completion). I shared with you how Adar II (which is our "shana m'uberret" or "Pregnant Year"), now we're in the time of harvest.  in Adar II - I gave you insight into networking, collaborating with your neighbor (this was the seed you were to plant).  Harvest is here - what did you plant in Adar I and Adar II? Who did you collaborate with (agree with) in prayer? Where did you go out of our way to be a blessing to someone else in Adar II? This was vitally important to your success in this season - I shared with you that the LORD is going to cause us to move beyond the limitations of length, width and height or third dimensional properties and go into Tetraspace (the 4th Dimension).


Herein lies the harvest. I'm decreeing and declaring that the supernatural, the miraculous will spring forth as never before during this Passover. I don't know how the LORD will show HIMSELF in your situation during this time - I can tell you from HIS previous acts, HE does things in a BIG Way. But what I want you to pay careful attention here, nothing was done during Passover for one individual; everything was done on a corporate level on a scale that was inclusive (not exclusive). What HE's showing me (even as I type) is if you're trying to exclude people (a very natural thing no doubt, pending the circumstances), you're not ready to receive the Miracles of Nisan. HE's not parting Red Sea's just for you and yours, when deliverance comes this time it's for you and for that loved one (that hasn't been that loving here lately).  Don't think for one moment that all 600,000 Israelites and their wives and children got along with each other, I am however suggesting that if there was a "fallout". No one was left behind, no one was excluded from the blessing that came to deliver and bring salvation unto Israel CORPORATELY.  So, you don't have to call folks and give no phony apologies this week (just so you don't miss out), but when deliverance is nigh upon you - don't forget that the blessing didn't come JUST FOR YOU, and YOU ALONE. We are going to be blessed in this season to be a blessing... Likewise if you do what's right and call upon the NAME of the LORD, you won't have to call others who have been blessed to remind them you're in need of blessing, just cry out the more unto the LORD. Hosanna!, which says, "LORD I need YOUR HELP & YOU are WORTHY of my PRAISE!"

When we really think about it the only thing that will remove negativity from around us is selflessness. During this week, if you find yourself down in the dumps, take a quick look outside...you'll find someone worse off than you, when you do - if you have the power to do something, don't withhold the opportunity to do so...

Watch how GOD favor's you this week despite yourself...


I pray blessings upon your life and this ancient holy apostolic ministry. Now through the intercession of the blessed apostles Peter and Paul, may the peace of GOD, which is beyond all understanding, keep your heart and mind in the knowledge and love of GOD and of HIS SON, our LORD. In the name of the FATHER, and of the SON and the HOLY GHOST. Amen…
