THANKSGIVING

Every year in November people get all thankful, because of the one day a year we are to give thanks.  Doesn’t that seem rather silly?  I mean, one day a year, set aside just to be thankful. That doesn’t seem right to me.  Why?

Well, having a thankful heart should be year around.  I know, there are some folks that are going through hell and it’s hard for them to be thankful. There are those that are marginalized; homeless, drug addicts, prostitutes, widows, newly divorced and those that are traded for sex as children. These people find it very difficult to be thankful. I can’t really imagine what that must be like.

Yet the Bible says,”

“Give thanks to God no matter what circumstances you find yourself in. (This is God’s will for all of you in Jesus the Anointed.)" 1 Thessalonians 5:18 (VOICE)

There are so many people across our nation, that can be thankful that they have jobs, a family they are at least communicating with. They have a roof over their heads, warm clothes to wear, and food on their table. Basic needs are met.  Yet, even these folks aren’t very thankful. They can find something, focus on it and be critical. Doesn’t matter how much they do have and I just shake my head.

My husband and I were close to being homeless; more than some of our friends realize. We struggled with Jim being out of work and making our bills. We went to the food bank just to stretch what funds we did have from unemployment. When unemployment was gone, we had to make it stretch even farther.It was not easy. It was difficult. But through all of that, we were thankful.

We have a faith that is unshakeable. A faith in the Creator of the Universe, who sent His Son to earth to live and die just for me, for all of us.  It is having a relationship with my Creator that gives me that thankful heart.  He loves me.  I love Him. We talk all the time thus, I have a very close relationship with Him. He lets me know that He is standing with me, and sometimes carrying me.

Over and over again Jim and I have seen Him provide for us in the most amazing ways.  I don’t know why.  I just know that He loves us. We are His children and he wants to provide for us.  I also know that He stood by us in our darkest moments. Those moments when we felt helpless, hopeless, and in despair.  Yet, His presence was still there.  I could tangibly feel it.  But, I could only feel it because I had a close relationship with Him.  I longed for His presence and sought it out.

Being thankful comes from within, not from circumstances outside of us. Otherwise, who would be thankful?  I think true thankfulness is learned from our Creator. He teaches me so many things. More than I can write here, but it is a daily learning. It is a daily discipline to come before Him - humbly with hands and heart open for more of Him.

 

“Give thanks to the Eternal, and call out to Him. Teach the people His deeds.” 

 1 Chronicles 16:8 ( VOICE)

My Personal Mountains – Mountain of Provision

 I’m sitting in the car waiting for Jim at his workplace. We’re heading to Tumwater to stay with my sister Karen for Thanksgiving.

Because our finances don’t seem to be any better since Jim got his permanent full-time job in July of this year, in fact they seem to have gotten worse, I asked Holy Spirit if I should go to court again or if there was a mountain I needed to clear off.  “A mountain” is what I heard, so by faith I went up in the spirit to what I thought was my Mountain of Finance.

However, before I went to that mountain, I went to the Holy of Holies and took communion. That is a time I take to “see if there is any wicked way in me” and confess it before the Lord.  I want to be clean and full of His righteousness always. I find I can see and hear a whole lot better once I do this. After taking communion, in the spirit, I went and stood before the Ark of the Covenant.  It was difficult to discern, but I saw the Eagle face out of the four faces of God. (The four faces of God: Lion, Ox, Eagle, Man.) I waited to hear or receive a mandate for when I go to the Mountain of Finance. I heard – “Go to the mountain.  All will be revealed.”  So, in the spirit, I went to the mountain.

As I looked around (more perceiving at this point), I sensed it was very dark and sludgy. I have my sword of Truth, which shines light, so I unsheathed it so it would shed light.  I walked around the base of the mountain. Sludge and mud – YUCK! I wished I had put on a pair of rubber boots. Then, walked up a bit on a trail and pretty much ran into an ogre. I asked my Angels, Mikael and Fred, to pin him down and shackle him. After doing that, we discovered two other ogres and they did the same to them; pinned them down and shackled them. 

I asked Holy Spirit what to do now.  I heard, “Court of War. They are trespassing.”.  So, Mikael and Fred along with the three ogres and I went to the Court of War.

Court of War

Once again, in the spirit we were transported to a hallway where there was a huge wood door and two very large angels standing guard.  One asked why I was there. I told him I had three ogres that had trespassed on my mountain and the angel then opened the door and allowed me to enter.

I realize that my angels have taken these three ogres to someplace else. I think probably some sort of holding area.

As I entered the courtroom, I see Jesus standing there waiting for me.  He smiled at me and gestured for me to come by his side.  I looked around the courtroom.  It was wider and not as deep.  I see the Cloud of Witnesses to the left of me and the Judge (God) in the front of the room at the bench. It appeared like a regular courtroom one would see on earth, sort of, except there was a lot of Glory-Light in that room.

I asked Jesus to give me some pointers, because I wasn’t sure what the protocol was in this court.  He asked me what I needed. I told him.  He smiled and said that I was in the right place.

After a few pointers, like acknowledging the Court (God), the Cloud of Witnesses, and Jesus, I approached the bench.  In the Court of War, Jesus isn’t just an advocate, he is our co-counsel on every case, so again I am not alone.

The Father asked me to approach the bench.  I acknowledge Him, Jesus and Holy Spirit. I acknowledged the Cloud of Witnesses that were also in attendance.  I stated what had been happening with the finance situation in our family and what I found on the mountain. 

The Judge (GOD) called the angels to present the ogres before the court.  I did not know that these three ogres represented three negative trading floor kings: Tyre- Money, materialism and all that entails; Athaliah – Kingly seed, “identity- I’m not good enough” and all those lies; and lastly Leviathan – Twisted communication, half-truth, trying to impress people. (I only knew this because Jesus told me.)

The three ogres stood before the Judge (God) in shackles and their mouths duct taped, so they could not speak. They were not happy.  They writhed as they stood before the Judge. Partly because of the Light that came from the Father. Then, Father judged them “Guilty of Trespassing”.  The three ogres were then taken by three Bailiffs and Jesus.  I saw them all go through a door, but did not know where they were taken.

Father then gave me a scroll. I looked at it and it said,

”All that has been taken, stolen or removed by the enemy is to be restored 7 fold, by the enemy to Sue Beckman and her husband, Jim. Any plunder that had been taken: jobs or promotions that were stolen, all money that should have been multiplying and continue to multiply will be restored. The enemy is to keep his hands off.

This will continue:  All that is touched, created, thought of, promotions, unexpected inheritances, jobs will prosper to the fullest.”

I took the scroll and was directed to the Court of Scribes. This looked like the front of a library or something. It had a counter where an Angel Scribe stood.  I handed the scroll to the Scribe. They took it and went away for just a moment.  Then was back with two scrolls. They had made a copy; the original I keep and the copy goes to the Court of Angels.

I then went to the Court of Angels. As I stepped into the court area, they all stopped and waited for me to give them instructions.  I asked for volunteers to begin the clean- up of my mountain. Well, I had quite a few (like hundreds) raise their hands.  I picked 50, gave them the scroll and we all went to my mountain.

Clean-up of the Mountain

Back at the mountain, I asked the angels to find the opening on the inside of the mountain.  Once found, I went in.  Great Scott!  There was a hoard of treasure! More than I could have imagined.  With the angelic help, we sorted and cleaned.  I saw a stairway of sorts, that led up to a ledge. I went up that and found a knob of some sort.  I tried to turn it, but it was rusted and wouldn’t budge. So, Mikael came and helped me turn it. Well, he did most of it, because he is stronger than I am.

I heard a trickle of water. It was coming from up overhead towards my right.  More and more water came until there was a beautiful waterfall.  The fresh sparkling water began to clean the sludge from the floor.  It also was cleaning off the treasure. I noticed a huge grate. It was closed, so asked Fred to open it. He (Fred) had a couple of other angels help him clean it out once he opened it. Then, the water went through the grate.  Once the water was flowing, everything inside became clean and smelled nice. In fact, the water was bringing gems and scrolls and other things into the mountain.

I walked back outside and the mud and sludge was cleaned away. There are fish and fresh sweet water running around the base of the mountain now. It looks like a moat, but with fresh clear and very clean water.  Also, the water sparkled and shimmered, which makes the mountain kind of glow.

There is a path that goes up the mountain. As I walk up it, I notice a scrawny tree.  I asked an angel to get some of the fresh water and water it.  When he did that, it began to grow and the fruit of it was like “money”. A money tree? Its blossoms were gold and silver coins. Large ones.  The tree was green; a deep lush green.  Around the tree are flowers, but the flowers are gemstones; precious and semi-precious stones. 

When I reached the top of the mountain, there was a small garden around the throne that was there. I sat upon that throne and spoke from the scroll that was given to me from the Court of War.  Once I spoke those declarations, I posted two angels on the mountain to guard and protect it. I sat there for quite a while and praised God for His provision. I realized this is not the mountain of finance, but the Mountain of Provision.  All provision come from God. It does not from man. That stopped me in my tracks.  Now I look at our family finances as God’s provision now. What game changer in new thinking.  Thank you Father

My Personal Mountains – Mountain of Health and Healing

My last blog post was when Jesus took me to my personal mountain in Heaven.

http://journeyoffthetracks.blogspot.com/2016/06/jesus-takes-me-to-my-mountain.html

That experience was back in 2015 when I first discovered things about mountains, heavenly government and the like.

Since that time, I have gone to four out of seven of my personal mountains.  This has been a discovery time for me. So, I’m going to share those experiences, since they are a part of my Journey.

Mountain of Health and Healing

I had fallen when I had tried to get up to go to the bathroom. It was early in the morning, and Jim was still at home; he had not left for work as yet.

All I recall was the need to get up and go to the bathroom.  I remember swinging my feet over the side of the bed to get up, but then… nothing.  I had a sensation of my feet not touching the floor.  The next thing I recall was Jim hovering over me, quite anxious and helping me to the bed. Me arguing that I needed to go to the bathroom.  He helped me.  I was light headed. Then he helped me back to bed. Told me to call him later that morning. He wanted to know how I was doing.

You see, Jim was in the kitchen and heard a loud “KUR-THUMP” (as I hit the floor) and the noise of the closet door rattling. Finding me on the floor in a heap was not what he expected.

As I laid in bed, I did a physical assessment: my neck was sore, like I had whiplash. My forehead had a bump on it. My knees had rug burns on them.  I was also a bit dizzy and my sinuses hurt.

WHY?  After Monday night Council meeting I contracted another sinus infection.  It was the next day after our Bench meeting that I fainted and fell and hurt myself. I sensed this was attack from the enemy. I was vulnerable somehow.

I asked Papa God what I should do.  The answer was go to your mountain of Health and Healing and clean it off. I hadn’t realized that I had a mountain for Health and Healing.

Huh, I hadn’t thought of that, but agreed and asked Holy Spirit to help me.  You see, on our government benches, we had been cleaning off our mountains of influence, so I had been getting a lot of practice doing that with our bench of 3.  But, this was my mountain. I needed to do this without help from the others from my bench.  Oh, but I did have help. LOTS of heavenly help.

Going up to the Mountain

I sat in my chair, pen and journal in hand, closed my eyes and went up in the spirit.

I went to my mountain of Health and Healing. There I was, a mountain before me that looked black and charred.  As I looked around, I saw a pit of some sort. I asked my angels to go down and take

a peek to see what was there.  They came back and said: “Nothing but muck and poo!”  Eeew!

So, I walked around to see if there was an entrance.  I found a cave. I pulled out my sword of Truth and the Word, that was given to me on a former journey.  It lit up the area enough so I could see clearly.  As I went forward into the cave, I immediately saw a huge very fat dragon lying on a mound of what looked to be flowers, herbs, and some gems. It was sleeping. I took my sword, along with my angels, and we lopped the head off that dragon.  The angels turned the dragon on its side and I opened the belly with my sword. Out poured lots of gems, vials of essences, and a key.

The key, I thought would go on my key ring, but no; I was to eat it. It did have a flavor, kind of like cinnamon and orange.  I picked up a gem to look at. It was like an essential oil or something like that. All I know is that the gems smelled lovely.  I rubbed some on myself. Refreshing! I placed some of the gems into a satchel I had. There were different colored gems: yellow, green, purple, orange, blue, gold and silver. They all had different fragrances and properties about them.

I asked the angels to get rid of the carcass of the dragon.  As they removed it, water began to flow inside the mountain.  It trickled along the walls, then flowed more freely. As it flowed, it began washing the walls of the mountain inside.  Then, I found a bucket and two wash mops.  I asked the angels to wash out the walls – scrubbing them.  It was great!  (I could feel that happening- physically.) So much lighter and clean. The water washed away all remnants of the dragon and cleaned the hoard it had. The flowers and the herbs began to grow.

I went outside to see what was happening. My eyes were amazed. There was so much green and color. Flowers and herbs were growing all around the mountain. A clear path now appeared that went up around the mountain. The path was sparkling – shimmering. There were gems all along each side of the path. Also, the mountain itself, seemed to be shimmering and vibrating.

I have a SPA

Before I went up the trail, I wanted to see what happened to the “muck and poo pit”. Astonished, I saw that it was clean and clear! No more muck and poo!  Yay!  In fact, that clean and clear pit was bubbling-almost like a hot tub.  I wanted to try it and see what a gem would do in it.  I pulled out one of the gems and plopped it into the bubbling pool. I went in.  It was like climbing into a spa tub with minerals and essential oils.  Dang!  Felt good.  I sensed every single part of my physical body beginning to almost melt in the relaxation I felt. I could smell the fragrances. I could have stayed there ALL day.  I also noticed that there was a bench and some towels, along with something cool to drink. Wow.  I have a spa on my mountain.  Cool.

I got out, dried off and had a wonderful drink of water. That refreshed me. I had the sense that it was Living Water. I felt stronger and more whole.

Going Up the Path

Time to go up the path to the top. As I walked up that shining – shimmering path, I noticed even more beauty. Besides just green, I smelled Rose of Sharon. There were bushes of it all over the mountain, so the fragrance flowed all over.  Then, there was Jasmine. Oh, that fragrance is wonderful. I found different kinds of mint and a Myrtle tree in bloom.  I could hear music of some sort. Maybe just frequency, but it was beautiful and soothing. I could feel the vibrations of the music throughout the mountain.

There were flowers growing. These “flowers” looked more like three stranded DNA – growing and flourishing. Different colors weaving in the strands.  I picked one and put it on my forehead. (I have no reason why I did that, I just did it.) I felt it go inside of my head. It was a very strange, but warm feeling.

Once at the top, there was a beautiful bench-throne. I sat on it and felt wholeness flow over me. The bench-throne was purple, blue and silver.  I asked for an angel to come and steward this mountain.

Then I decreed from my bench-throne:

This is God’s wholeness; healing, full health.  There is no sickness or death. Only wholeness.  Peace: God’s Shalom reigns here.

No Stress.  No hurting. No illness. Only the Father’s Love.

Let the healing water flow and the flowers and herbs grow. Let the vibration of healing permeate this mountain.

I just sat there for a time, soaking in and drinking from those healing waters.

Back in the Natural

As I came back into the world of sitting in my chair, I noticed a difference in how my body felt. I noticed for instance, that my sinus infection was pretty much not there.  I also noticed that my head and body didn’t ache like it had.  I went to the mirror and where I had a huge bang on my forehead, there was now just a red spot where I had connected with the closet door and no bump.

I had tears running down my face. I am learning so much and it is real.

KINGDOM GOVERNMENT

I pondered what Jesus told me: “Your next season of learning has begun.”

You see, back in January/February 2015, I had another friend die of cancer. (That made about 5 in two years!) I had had enough. I wanted answers.  I was pretty upset. In fact, I was so upset that I was really angry at God about it.  I had prayed and prayed. Apparently my prayers don’t make a difference, or so I thought.  I railed at God, just like King David.  In that railing , I was also reminding God of how much He does loves His creation.  I kept asking God,” What is the key to all this?  There has to be a key.  What am I missing?  Please tell me!”  Well, you see, He had that key for me: Kingdom Government.

What does that mean? Well, I was soon to find out.  Two days after Jesus took me to my Mountain in heaven, I was at a conference. It was called “Deed Calls to Deep” and by the end of the week my poor head was so full.  It was at this conference I began to understand in a deeper way what Jesus had told me about my seven mountains of influence.

Let’s just say that whatever grid I had before was totally blown away by the end of the week.  As scripture was opened up to me, my spirit was starting to jump.  No butterflies whatsoever, but it was literally jumping for joy!  Everything that the conference speaker said, I listened with intensity and asking Holy Spirit for discernment - everything. 

He spoke about Kingdom Government.  How as sons and daughters of God, we are called to rule now, not when we are dead.  We all have mountains and realms of authority that we are supposed to be governing over now, not later.  He gave us so much background, not only scripture but metaphysics and other science stuff (which I sort of tuned out of, but am sure glad I got the recording).  Basically, the speaker told me the same thing that Jesus told me, but went into it in more depth.  I’m thinking that Jesus knew that this would be so overwhelming to me, so he told me ahead of time the “gist” and left the rest to be filled in.

Kingdom government is so different than what the “Church” today has in place.  In fact, what the church has in place is upside down from what it should be. I don’t wish to go into it in depth here, but suffice it to say, currently the church has it like a pyramid - top down. What Kingdom government should be like is a pyramid upside down.  We should be a reflection of Heaven, but we aren’t.

As we each step into our identity and destiny that God has for each of us, we can then begin to rule as sons and daughters of God.  That rule is taken seriously in Heaven.  Why do you think that Jesus came to earth; to just die on the cross and save us from our sins?  That is only part of it.  Remember, Jesus brought heaven to earth.

 “As you go, preach this message:

 “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” (NIV) Matt 10:7

“Your prayers, rather, should be simple, like this:

    Our Father in heaven,
        let Your name remain holy.
     Bring about Your kingdom.
    Manifest Your will here on earth,
        as it is manifest in heaven.” (The Voice)  Matt 6:9-10

Anyway, I listened and prayed.  I realized with a bit more clarity that Jesus was the living, breathing example of HOW to live here on earth.  He showed us. The New Testament is full of his examples and the examples of the disciples.  It seems that Jesus’ mandate from the Father was: to go and live as a human being. Show them how to live and what to live for. Be their example, so that they in turn can learn to do what I show you, so that the disciples in turn can continue to learn and show how my Kingdom is to be set on earth. 

Wow.  We’ve not done a good job at our part, up to this point.  It is time to change.

I also learned that when the church does function as an upside down pyramid, Heaven invades earth more easily.

Well, on the last day we had an activation exercise.  In the spirit, I received from Jesus a beautiful carved wood box with some jewels around it.  I opened it up. There was a large key ring and on it was my first key.  

Jesus Takes Me to My Mountain

A year ago, I was talking with Papa God. As I talk with Him, I journal. This particular time with Him has changed my life. It was on April 30, 2015, just a few days before I was going to a week- long intensive conference on “The Government of Heaven, Deep Calling to Deep” with Mike Parsons. I didn't know anything about mountains and let alone Heavenly Government.

                                         ++++++++++++++++++++

Me:     What’s on your heart today, Papa?

God:    I would like you to take a walk with Jesus today. He wants to spend time with you.  (He

smiles)

Me:     Alright. (I turn and see Jesus) Hi! So, what do you want to do today?

Jesus:  (Big smile on his face.)  Yes, I want to play. Let’s go!  Take my hand and I’ll lead you.

            (He offers me his hand and I take take it.)

            I want to show you my playground.

Me:     You have a special playground?

Jesus:  (with an impish smile on his face)  Yes, I do. 

(Jesus takes me to an open space – real space - the great expanse. I am in the Universe. And it was blowing my mind!)

Me:     Whoa – this is amazing!  I feel so, so light. Wow!  There are so many stars!

(I am standing, if you want to call it that, on non-air, in space. I am not in a space suit and

 just looking at the stars.  My first thought was, “ I'm still breathing and this is off my grid.”)

Jesus:  Yes there are!  (He waves his arms to show me them.) I helped make those stars! I’m

glad you like them.  Look to your right.

Me:     What is that?  It’s beautiful. So many colors. 

Jesus:  Come let’s go to it.  (He takes my hand again, and we are in the most beautiful place…)

Me       Jesus, what is this?  The colors and the sounds are beautiful!  It’s like its singing. Wow.

            

             (The colors were amazing.  It was like being outside the Hubble telescope and looking 

             at this beautiful pattern of color.  The thing of it was, I heard sound. The sound was coming

             from the light patterns that were swirling around us. It was a symphony of sound. And once

             again my mind says, "Totally off my grid".)

Jesus:  It’s a Nebula. You’ve seen this before.

Me:     I have?  When?  I don’t remember being here before.

Jesus:  Well, you weren’t “here” before, but you saw it in Oregon, at the Observatory

in Sunriver  through a large telescope.  You said,  ”This is so beautiful. I wonder what it

looks like up close and personal?”  So, I thought it would be fun to show you.

Me:     (My jaw dropped.  I’m thinking “This is totally off my grid.”)  Okay…

Jesus:  Let’s go to another place. 

            (You would think by this time, I would be use to the "off my grid" things. Nope.)

Me:     Sure. (He takes my hand again. We are on a large mountain.)

Jesus:  We are at a special spot. What do you see?

Me:     (I’m looking around.  360◦ turn.)  What is this?  Where is this?  It’s such a beautiful

place. The colors of the grass and flowers, they are not what I would find on earth.

Amazing!  (Turning to Jesus) Why is this place special?

Jesus:  (Smiles looking directly into my eyes)  This is yours.

Me:     (I look away from His gaze and see what he is showing me and then quickly look back.

              Puzzling over what He just said.)   WHAT!?  This is mine?  How is this mine?

Jesus:  This is your area of influence, your realm, so to speak that you rule from in Heaven. 

(My mouth is open and letting flies in, if there were flies to let in.)

You are a co-heir with me, so this is part of your inheritance.

Me:     Wait. What?  My inheritance? What do you mean, “my inheritance”?

Jesus:  (He laughs)  Yes, I get that reaction a lot from folks.  (smiles and begins to explain) 

This is your mountain, from which you rule as a daughter of the King. What you see

is your kingdom where you rule.  Where you have authority.

And over here (he walks over to this sort of stone mound that had two steps ) is your

throne.

(There a chair was perched upon a mound of carved rock – a most beautiful chair.  It was gold and silver that was intricately woven, very much like filigree. There was flora and fauna woven into that chair. Expertly woven by a Master.  On top of the chair, where it curved was a blue orb like thing. The cushions to sit upon and the back were made of velvet and the most beautiful blue I’ve ever seen. The blue in those cushions changed to different hues of blue-a thousand colors of blue swirled.)

Me:     That’s (I paused and swallowed)  my throne?

(My mind was racing.  I have a throne in heaven. I’m seeing a throne. Jesus says that this is my throne.  I’m in heaven! AND ... I'm not dead.  This is so off my grid….)

Jesus:  Yes.  Now, go and sit.

(I walked carefully up the two steps and turned facing Jesus. I hesitated for just a moment looking at Jesus. The warmth in His eyes and love overwhelmed me. He gave an encouraging nod and I sat upon the throne. What happen when I sat, I was not expecting.)

Me:     Oh my goodness.  Wow.  (I look at Jesus.)  I feel – at peace here. It fits me and I’m  

            home.  Oh so comfortable.

Jesus:  (smiling)  Did you notice the change in your clothing?

Me:     (puzzled)  My clothes? 

(I had been wearing my jeans, tee shirt and tennis shoes, I thought.

I look down. What I saw totally blew my mind. I gasped. I locked eyes with Jesus.)

I’m wearing the dress: That beautiful dress that was in my dream and a crown!

(The dress was made of a material that was flowing. It was empire style and the

dress/skirt  part were the colors of 1000 hues of blues!  The colors flowed and changed

constantly. The bodice was made of silver thread - pure silver thread woven intricately with cap sleeves. There was a train of some sort. It had the blue hues, but also woven in was gold and silver threads. The silver and gold were also woven in a brocade along the edges of the train.  Breathtaking.  The crown was unlike anything I have ever seen. It wasn’t gaudy.  It was like my throne; intricately woven filigree of gold and silver, of flora and fauna with gemstones of which some I recognized and some I did not.  There were 12 of them. The crown shimmered.)

Jesus:  This is who you are here in Heaven.  You are a true ruler. You have authority. You are a

 daughter of the High King. I want you to begin now seeing yourself this way. As a ruler,

 any declarations or decrees that are made from your throne is always in Love and from

 Father’s heart.  Here is where you come to your seat of rest. The authority that you have

 is growing in you.  The more you grow in your intimacy with Father, the more authority

 you are given.  You will find that your prayer life will be changing.

Me:     So, when I pray or Intercede, I am standing or sitting here on my throne, in this outfit,

with full authority.  Do you stand with me when I’m here?

Jesus:  Yes to your first question. You are a co-heir. We partner together for the good of the

            Kingdom. That means we do what the Father says. It is like when I was on earth. What I

            did, I did only because I saw my Father do it first. So it is for you as well.

            As for your second question, I am with you always.  You also have the Angelic Orders

that will help you as well.  You partner with them.  They are ready to serve and are

chewing at the bit to get work done.  (He smiles).

Remember the prayer I taught the first disciples?   “Our Father who is in Heaven, holy is

your name. Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven”? That

means what is done here will eventually manifest on earth.  The Kingdom – it is now on

earth. Father’s will is to be carried out by the co-heirs on earth.  That is you.

Me:     Funny, I know this, but when you say it that way, it makes me stop and ponder. How I

pray and what I pray has a more real impact or outcome.  That’s a power.  However, I

need to be careful how that power is wielded.  Right?

Jesus:  Yes.  When you speak, Heaven listens.  You have been given much. Now is the time to

learn more so that you will be even more equipped to rule from your throne.  Just

remember:  I am always with you.  Holy Spirit is always around to give you counsel and

wisdom. He can also guide you. Be reverent in all you do for the Kingdom. I am not

being stodgy, but have a clear understanding and a true “Fear of the Lord”.  This is not a game.  This is Real Life.

Do you see the seven mountains in the distance?  Those are your mountains of influence. Those are areas in your life that you have authority over. If you notice, there are some of the enemy on those mountains.  They will need to be cleaned off, so that order will come.

Me:     Cleaned off?  I have to get rid of those bad nasties by myself?  I’m not sure I can do that.

Jesus:  (He chuckles and smiles) You have the help of Heaven at your beck and call, pretty much. The angels will help you. Be wise and ask Holy Spirit. He will give you guidance.  You will learn much on this journey.  You won’t be able to conquer this in a day.

(He winks)  Be patient with yourself.  This is all new to you. 

This just means you will be here now more often than not. That is a good thing.  We’ve been waiting.  Your next season of learning has begun.

My Transformation Begins

I was listening to a talk about Jesus' love.  How much He loves us and desires us.

As I listened, I closed my eyes because I didn't wish to be distracted. I felt the need to place my hand over my own heart. As I did, my hand became burning hot - not just warm. I could feel the burn, but it was good.  It hurt a bit, but it wasn't destructive.

The more the speaker spoke about how much God really loves us, how much He wants to spend time with us - my heart wanted to BURST. Tears began to well up in my eyes and then flowing down my face. I didn't care. All I wanted was to come closer to Jesus.

This is on a completely different level of relationship than in the past. It is more - I don't know - more engaging, more real.  My heart was burning; like fire - it was hot.

Yet, my whole being was at peace. I told Jesus that I give him my whole heart. I wanted to be "in" Him totally. I told him to take it. Just give me more of yourself.

I then saw in my mind, the eyes of Jesus. With tears streaming down my face, I saw Jesus' eyes looking at me with pure Love. Wow, I am undone! In those eyes were: Gentleness, Love, Desire.  I wanted to gaze into those eyes forever.

I can't really explain it:  A peace that is fully Shalom. Love as I've never really experienced before. My whole being was intertwined with Jesus as He took my heart and held it. Gently He held my heart and as He did, He poured Himself into it.

Mystical ecstacy.

 I had lost myself in Him. I knew in that moment - my transformation had begun. I can never ever turn back. 

When a Friend Goes Home

I’m really struggling today. I was informed that another friend of mine, a really good violinist who retired from the Seattle Symphony as second violin, died.  He was struggling with prostate cancer (Stage 3), and he was to go in and have some sort of surgery for his heart.  Well, he didn’t make it to surgery.

My husband and I have known him for quite a few years.  We’ve been to their home and he attended the Wednesday evening Bible Study my husband attends and sometimes leads. He's come to the picnics in the park in the summer. He was just a fun person to be around.

Well, he’s gone; my heart aches because we won’t see him or laugh with him when he tells his awful (and very funny) jokes.  I will miss his homemade Almond Roca at Christmas. I have the recipe, but he made it with passion and love for that Almond Roca and his friends.  I will miss his Trader Joe’s one pound chocolate bar he always shared. I will also miss the beautiful music he played on his violin.  He loved music.

I don’t have any regrets, except that I would have loved to have sat and talked with him one more time.  For him to be taken down so quick, it is hard to take in, especially when his surgery was only three days away!

I hate heart disease and cancer. I hate them with as much fervor has I have in my being. I ask, "why?  I prayed for him. I went to heaven’s court for him.  Why Papa?"   My spirit sits in the Garden of my Heart.  Right now there is silence.  It is that silence that gives comfort and helps me grieve.

My dear friend, you are in the presence of your Savior, Jesus.  Wow. I can imagine the joy you must have. You are once again whole and young. Play your violin for Jesus. He loves hearing you play.  I know you are at peace, now just enjoy eternity.  It's now your Season of Singing.

In memory of Wesley R Fisk.

Ancient Paths

Intercessory Prayer

Intercessory prayer has at times gotten a bad reputation. I am an intercessor and my journey in prayer over the years has been, let's say somewhat mundane. I went on a personal search for MORE of God. I wanted to connect with Him in a really initmate way, but had no idea how that worked or even what it looks like.

Back in April 24, 2014 I discovered what some would call "Papa God's heart". Here is an excerpt from that day's journal.

........
This morning I was listening to a guy on YouTube, Robert Henderson. He was talking about "The Courts of Heaven".  He was talking about how intercessory prayer is actually taking something to Heaven's court.  I have also been reading more on intercessory prayer; different types of prayer for different things.

From the deepest place of my being, I began interceding on behalf of my church.  I began standing in on the church body's behalf and as I did, began repenting for being cynical and having hardened hearts. I asked forgiveness for losing the passion and fire of the relationship with God. I repented of pride and selfishness. I repented of putting our own desires before God's heart desire.  From the depths of my being I cried- weaping for our church.

You see we had become a "Nazereth". Our hearts had become hardened where God couldn't move corporately; in some individuals they were still open, but no more.

Then, I began declaring that we would seek God with a passion. I declared we would once  again have that fire in our hearts for God's heart; not seeing our own, but His. I declared we would have a new found Joy in Him; where our passion lies in a direct line with God's.  I declare that our church would begin to walk in the destiny that God showed me in a vision a year and a half earlier:  A Lighthouse to the City of Seattle. The power which comes diectly from God to the church, then flows out of each of us to the four corners.

I then began praying for the City of Seattle. My stomach hurt because of God's great sadness and hurt. I felt His sadness and great love for the city.  He wants to heal this city. I began repenting for the sins of the forefathers here in government. The people's prejudices and slavery. My heart literally hurt, because God's heart hurt. I asked God to forgive them because they didn't know what they were doing.

At this point, I began to place Gates of Protection around the city, especially for May 1st. I declared that Seattle would walk in the destiny God has called this city to. I asked Holy Spirit to hover over and around our city leaders and council. I asked protection for our police and fire departments. I repented for the lies and deception from the police leaders. I asked for clarity of truth, that they would not listen to deception and lies.

I also prayed for our nation and it's leaders. I repented on their behalf for turning away from God and listening to the evil one. I asked that we would hear God's truth far above all the lies and follow the voice of His truth.

I haven't wept like that since I went to Bethel. Then, I was released and my heart and stomach didn't hurt anymore. I actually felt lighter!

Amazing things I'm learning for the Kingom. I want to go deeper and God is taking me deeper.

Praise God from whom all blessings flow,
Praise Him all creatures here below.
Praise Him above, ye Heavenly Host.
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

AMEN

In Solitude I Seek Him

In Solitude

I seek the Father

Standing alone,

Yet not alone.

In Solitude

I seek refreshment

Standing still,

Yet moving.

In Solitude

I seek Creation,

To show me

A creative Father.

In Solitude

I seek revelation,

Scriptures enlightened

A Savior.

In Solitude

I find the Father

Standing with me,

Always with me.

In Solitude

I seek Him

I find Him

I know Him.

My New Lenses

My journey with Papa God has led me here.  It is really on a higher plain than before. I am still me, but the “me” has changed.  Actually, my lens in which I see the world and the people around me have changed.  It’s like getting new glasses and trying to get use to them.  Rather uncomfortable for a while, but I know I will get use to them soon. I know these new lenses are from Papa God.  He knows what I need to see and I must see in a different way. That’s fine, but it sure is uncomfortable.

I have been at this place before; this place called uncomfortable.  It is a place in my spirit where I am moving forward at a very quick pace, but my mind hasn’t caught up yet. So, in this place of uncomfortable, I am in a fog.  Not a real dense fog, but one where I am uncertain as to my path. I must walk in total faith in the God who loves me so much that He gave me new lenses to see with.

You know, as I get use to these new lenses, the world around me is clearer.  I don’t really know how to explain it, except there is a crispness around me; a freshness of sorts.  I look at my neighborhood and it has changed a lot and not necessarily for the better.  Yet, through these new lenses, I am seeing… well, I believe I am beginning to see what Papa God sees; the true destiny and redemption of this place.

If that is so, then I am seeing through Papa God’s lens for I could not look upon this place and see the beauty that He sees.  I hear the sirens and see the lack around me.   Yet, there are special moments now, where I see what He sees; a redeemed neighborhood and city.  So, what do I do with what I now see?

I speak Shalom over this neighborhood and city.  I declare that God loves this place and those that live in and around the city will begin to walk in the destiny that God has called them to.  This beautiful city will become what God has seen it to be and will be.  I speak Life and Light to this place where I dwell. Each home on my street, I declare that those living there would begin to see and hear the God of their Creation and would begin to walk and live in the destiny God has called them to.

I declare the evil that now lives in this place will go because the Kingdom of God is here.

You see, Papa God sees all of us, even in the muck that we live in, as beautiful. He sees beyond that to what will be.  He created us in His image. He created us to be sons and daughters that have the Holy Spirit leaking out of us, which in fact, changes the atmosphere around us.  Yes, as believers, we change the atmosphere around us.  If we are intentional about it, the influence can be pretty wide spread.  For instance, if you step into a store consciously ask Holy Spirit to spread His presence in a 10 foot radius around you. See what happens.  I have done this a few times lately, and if you are aware, you can sense the change.  The people change around you. It’s pretty cool.

I want to be able to use my new lenses in a positive way for the Kingdom of God.  Seeing our world the way God sees it is one way.  The next step is acting upon that.  We can change the world around us – one lens at a time.
