Arise and Shine

Arise, shine, for your LIGHT has come and the Glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
Darkness covers the earth and thick darkness the peoples,
But the Lord will Arise upon you.
Nations will come to your LIGHT
and kings to the brightness of your rising.
The Light of Yeshua has Risen over you today.
Did you FEEL Him? Did you SEE Him? Did you HEAR Him?
Did you take Him inside you and dine with Him.
Psalms 23 says He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies.
He prepares it and we must listen to His voice. Receive what He speaks to you, do not doubt His word to you.
The arrows of the enemy will fall on every side but they will not come near your dwelling place. Your hope and shelter is in the Lord.
His protection is a strong tower and all who run to it are safe.
Focus on the stronghold of the Father today, do not fear what man
may say. For He is your fortress and He is your God.
Today, He says "come to me all you who are weary" sit at my table and be refreshed.
I am a God of Life. I am the restorer of Life, of something you may think of as dead. God says, I WILL heal, revive, restore, renew, and replenish what the locust have eaten in your lives. For I will do something new in you. It will come to pass before you perceive it with your mind. Holy Spirit will be the ONE who accomplishes through you.
Amen

Rivers of The Balm of Gilead in the Desert

TODAY, God is going to do something new in you.
You may not see it yet.
But you are in a process that is propelling you toward your destiny.
Remember, when Joseph was put into the pit? The Ishmaelites, who were carrying the balm of Gilead down to Egypt, were the ones who rescued him. He was then sold as a slave to Potiphar, falsely accused, sent to prison and interpreted a dream that
caused someone else to be free, before he was set free. Are you willing to be the one who brings freedom to others first? Before you see the prophetic Word spoken over you is fulfilled. Are you willing to bring freedom, life and love to others lives? Trusting God`s spoken Word over your own life WILL come to pass in His time. Knowing that God will keep His Word. Joseph`s life being carried to Egypt with the Balm of Gilead was very prophetic. Joseph`s life was going to literally be the Balm of Gilead for his family and the people in the world around him. As Yeshua does to our lives and the world around us today.
The Balm of Gilead was from the Balsam Fir trees. Balsam was known for its antiseptic, anti-inflammatory properties. It was used in healing wounds and sores of all kinds in those days and today.
TODAY, God says that You are the CARRIER of the Balm of Gilead, Yeshua.
He is our spiritual and physical Healer today. He anoints us with His Salve and feeds us with His Word. Just as Joseph fed his family and all the known world with physical food that was stored up for 7 years.
There is a river that will spring forth from you, even in the desert in your life, if you stay in intimacy with your KING.
BRING BALM TO OTHERS TODAY!!

Note:
Historically, Balsam trees grew in an region North of the Dead Sea in Canaan. It was where the tribe of Manasseh inherited their portion of land. The resin that comes from the Balsam tree was a lucrative business and sold in many countries. Balsam was used in physicians healing ointments.

Biblical references:
"And they sat down to eat a meal. Then they lifted their eyes and looked, and there was a company of Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead with their camels, bearing spices, BALM, and myrrh, on their way to carry them down to Egypt." (Genesis 37:25,

"Is there no BALM in GILEAD, is there no physician there? Why then is there no recovery for the health of the daughter of my people?" (Jeremiah 8:22)

"Go up to Gilead and take BALM, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt; In vain you will use many medicines; You shall not be cured." (Jeremiah 46:11)

Yeshua`s Possible Yom Kippur sermon.

According to History; it is probable that Yeshua could have been born around the time of Yom Kippur. Yeshua read Isaiah 61 in His first public speaking engagement in the Synagogue. One could not read in the synagogue till 30 years of age(the age one could become a priest. Today Isaiah 61:1-2 is not read on Yom Kippur because readings are based on a one year cycle. However in the first century the readings were based on a three year cycle. It is thought that this would have been included in the Yom Kippur reading in Yeshua`s time along with Isaiah 58. This would mean that Yeshua was reading about His fulfillment of this prophecy on the Festival Day itself. After Yeshua read this passage all eyes were fixed on Him and He stated, "Today this scripture has been fulfilled in you hearing."

It is possible that Yeshua gave his life on a Jubilee Year because God does everything according to the pattern that He gave to us in scripture. Jubilee was the 50th year. It meant the returning(shuvee), of all land, slaves and all debts forgiven. This is what happened when Yeshua put His blood upon the mercy seat in heaven. Everything was returned to the rightful owner. The enemy was put under the feet of Yeshua and in Yeshua, He is also under our feet.
Remember, God does not forgive as a human does. He forgives the instant that we ask Him.

Isaiah 61 says;
1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
because the LORD has anointed me
to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim freedom for the captives
and release from darkness for the prisoners, [a]

2 to proclaim the year of the LORD's favor
and the day of vengeance of our God,
to comfort all who mourn,

3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of gladness
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the LORD
for the display of his splendor.

4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins
and restore the places long devastated;
they will renew the ruined cities
that have been devastated for generations.

Today, if we hear His voice and listen, we will be operating in the same way.
The Spirit of the Lord is upon YOU.
You are anointed to Preach.
To bind up broken hearts.
To proclaim liberty and freedom to ALL.
To those imprisoned by darkness, Illumination of Yeshua.
To proclaim favor.
To proclaim Yeshua as our avenger(Goel).
To comfort those who mourn.
To provide beauty for worthlessness.
Oil of gladness instead of mourning
And a garment of Praise instead of a spirit of heaviness.
You will be an oak of righteousness.
A planting of Holy Spirit, for His Glory and Splendor.
Anything torn or ravaged will be repaired, restored, renewed, and revived.
And the cities(our lives and families)that have been devastated will be rebuilt.

Dear Ones; with the Light of Yeshua inside us.
We are walking in the same anointing He walked in.
We are His hands and feet to others today.
Lets hear with His ears and see with His eyes.
Lets forgive as He forgives--
QUICKLY!!!!

Today is the Day to hear the Voice of Holy Spirit

Today if you hear His voice, Listen!
Do you know how to hear Holy Spirit?
Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened to you. If I stood outside your door and never knocked, you would not know that I was there. If I knocked you would open the door, Right? Well, Yeshua, Jesus is the same way. He knocks on our door but we do not always open the door. He wants us to want Him. He wants us to knock on His door, and He will open it for us. He will share with us His mysteries and His most intimate secrets. He loves to share His secrets with us.
He wants us to go deep. Deep as the ocean. Like a wave that goes out to sea that does not return. There truly is no human knowing of where that wave will end up. It could be on the shore of another country. In God we need to keep growing deeper in Him everyday of our lives. May our eyes be open and our ears ready to listen for the sound of our Bridegroom today. He is never silent, we may just have something that is blocking the sound.
Today I pray that Holy Spirit will burn the "All consuming fire" of His Presence through us. So we see with our spiritual eyes how to hear.
Holy Spirit cover us in the glory cloud of your presence today.
Let us smell like you, that sweet smelling savor. May it waft up to your throne room.
Amen.
Our God is a consuming fire.

Happy Yom Kippur

He LOVES YOU, HE LOVES YOU OH HOW HE LOVES YOU. HE LOVES, HE LOVES YOU OH HOW HE LOVES YOU. OH HOW HE LOVES. Thank you God for sending Yeshua to cover over us as the Blood was placed like a blanket on the Mercy seat--Totally covering everything in me that is not a part of Him. Happy Yom Kippur!!!
Yes, its HAPPY because the work was done by Yeshua(Salvation) on our behalf.
Setting us free---No chains, no bars. FREEDOM!!
You will know the truth and the truth will set you free.
Today and every day you are covered completely in Him.
He has set you free dear ones.
Blessings on your day.

Decree a Thing and it will be Established

Do you know how important it is to decree words of LIFE. God`s Promises are Words of LIFE to us. When we speak these Words they have power. In John 1 we read that ALL thing are held together by the Word of His mouth. Today, when we speak, its important to know and understand that we are decreeing something. The word Decree is a legal term. In the story of Queen Esther, the King could not revoke or reverse what was decreed. It was something that was sealed in the Name of the King. It was as if a lock was put upon the decree and it could not be stopped. The seal with the King`s ring gave the decree absolute authority.
In our lives today we have the Seal of Holy Spirit upon us. In Ephesians 1:13 it
says, when you heard the word of truth (the gospel of your salvation) – when you believed in Christ – you were marked with the seal, of the promised Holy Spirit.(NET) Today, Holy Spirit gives us ABSOLUTE AUTHORITY IN THE NAME OF THE KING.
You have been sealed. You are like that document that the King sealed, with the Word of the King on the inside of the Document. Only the document is you, because Holy Spirit is within you.
We should not doubt His Word within us.
God said it is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it. Isaiah 55:11 (NLT)
What is the Word you are sending out today?
Job 22:28(NKJB)says, You will also declare a thing, And it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways.
What you establish, with the Word of your mounth, Light will then shine upon you.
When light shines it illuminates darkness. There will be a clarity upon your path or journey.
Again, Jeremiah 1:12 states that God is watching over His Word to make sure that His Word is carried out. The Promises of God`s Word WILL come to pass.

Today claim His promises as your own. Speak them forth over your husband, your children, extended family and friends. The Word is alive, it is sharper than any 2 edged sWORD and divides between our soul and spirit(Physically you cannot separate soul and Spirit, spiritually the Word can), joint and marrow. To separate joint and marrow in the physical is VERY painful and has to be done with a VERY sharp needle. Ask anyone who has had a bone marrow transplant. That sharp needle is the word of God.
Use the Word of God today, by speaking it forth into your life and the lives of those around you. It will come back to you, fulfilled.

Lord,
Today we rebuke the devourer that wants to steal what you have promised.
You are our provider. We rebuke poverty, lack, and break off any assignment the enemy has tried to inflict on us or poor choices that we have made in our lives.
We confess you as our King, Lover, and Husband(Provider and Leader).
May there be no thing above you in our lives today.
In Yeshua`s Name we have absolute authority over everything. All things are under My King`s feet. This means all things are under my feet. ALL means ALL.
In Yeshua,
Amen.

Yom Kippur means Day of Atonement

The Day of Atonement was the one day every year that the High Priest would go into the Holy, Holy, Holy place. They would say Holy(for outter court or The Way), they would say Holy, Holy(for inner court or the truth), and they would say Holy, holy, holy for the(Holy of Holies or the life). This was why the Religious of the day got so angry with Yeshua. In John 14:6 Yeshua tells them I AM, The Way, the Truth, and the Life. Not only did He call himself the I Am,(who was the One who called to Moses out of the burning bush), which they knew was the Lord; but Yeshua was also calling himself THE Tabernacle. This IS the One who tabernacles or PRESENCES Himself within our hearts today, if we allow Him in. Remember, Holy Spirit is a gentle ONE. There is no forcing or prodding or pushing with Holy Spirit.

Lets look at who carries the PRESENCE. In 2 Samuel 6, King David was bringing the Ark of Covenant, (which represented the PRESENCE), up to Jerusalem. He made a cart, with human hands, set the Ark of the Covenant on the cart, tried to take it to Jerusalem. It did not work, Uzzah ended up dying. Uzzah`s name means, the strength of man dies. Why did he die?

God`s instructions were that the PRESENCE had to be carried by priests, on their shoulders. The shoulders of the ones,(priests), who were wearing priestly garments. The Ones who were called out by God to perform the duties in the physical tabernacle or Temple. Who were not made by human effort or human hands, as the cart was made. Symbolically we wear a Robe of Righteousness today. A spiritual death will come to the one who does not have the PRESENCE carried within them.
God also wants us to know that His PRESENCE could only be carried in the Tabernacle,(Temple, or physical body), within every priest. The PRESENCE is within us. Yeshua said the kingdom of heaven is within you. Saul says don`t you know that your body is the Temple or Tabernacle of Holy Spirit.

As the Day of Atonement approaches let us take a look inside ourselves and see if there is anything besides the PRESENCE of Holy Spirit. Anything that prevents the full, filling of the PRESENCE in our lives.
Yeshua, our Great High Priest, gave His life, of His own surrender, to show THE WAY to the Holy, Holy, Holy place. He placed His blood on the Mercy seat in the heavenlies and made Atonement for the world. The blood is what makes atonement for sin, covers completely and makes perfect or whole.
Lev.17:11 says, For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul.

Today as priests, we, are the temple of Holy Spirit.

As priests, we, carry the ark of the PRESENCE within us.

As priests, we, wear the Robe of Righteousness today. The Robe is covered by Holy Spirit`s oil. You will recognize it by its slippery texture. It is an ON PURPOSE texture. Nothing can stay attached to you that is not of the PRESENCE, when the oil of the PRESENCE is present.

Holy Spirit anoint each one who reads this today with the PRESENCE.
AMEN

Purchased by Yeshua

I love the word purchase. This word is made up of 2 words; pursue and chase.
Think about what you do when you purchase something. You get in your car, drive to the store, walk into the store, find the thing you want, pay the price for it, take it to your home, use it, it is yours. Right? So, what did you do? You pursued it and chased after it, paid for it, and made it your own.

When the Word says in Revelation 5:9
And they sang a new song: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain, and with your blood you purchased men for God from every tribe and language and people and nation.

This is exactly what our King has done for everyone on the face of the earth.
He walked toward us by coming from heaven to earth. He paid/redeemed us for a price (shedding of innocent blood), by willingly giving His life. Then He made everyone His own who wants to put on the wedding garments that He provides for us.
Then He says let Me use you, for My purposes. You are mine. Why? Because I paid the price for you.

Remember dear ones, you are loved with an Everlasting Love and with Everlasting Arms that reach as far as the East is from the West (from infinity to infinity).
You have been PURCHASED.
