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

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.
