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.
