"For I know the thoughts and plans that I have for you, says the Lord, thoughts and plans for welfare and peace and not for evil, to give you hope in your final outcome. Then you will call upon Me, and you will come and pray to Me, and I will hear and heed you. Then you will seek Me, inquire for, and require Me [as a vital necessity] and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord..."

Spirit Gateway of Prayer

In order to allow the First Love Fire of God to flow through us from the inside out our spirit gateways must be open and our soul and body gateways must be cleaned and maintained.
This is another prayer that I pray in order to open my spirit gateway of prayer so that the full expression of the Kingdom of God can be manifested in and through me to the world around me.

This prayer was adapted from Ian Clayton's teaching on the Gateways of the Three Fold Nature of Man.

Prayer
“Father the fire that I stepped through to come to Jesus was the gateway of first love. So I choose to take that fire of first love and open the gateway of prayer in my spirit.
I open the gate of prayer and yield it to your glory, Father. I receive and release the power of God through this prayer gateway, that I may begin to receive revelation of Your Kingdom that it may change my soul into the image of the Son of God that abides in me.
Through the spirit gateway of prayer I speak to my soul gateways and say come under the authority of my spirit and the first love fire of God’s glory.  Conscience I call you to an acute awareness of the mind and heart of God and His ways and command you to follow after them no matter what.  Reason I call you to go beyond physical and surface reasoning and accept as truth spiritual reasoning that glorifies God.  Imagination I command you to open up to all the possibilities that the Lord wants to show you and open up to all the communication coming from the Father and anyone or anything associated with Him.  Mind, subconscious, conscious, and unconscious I command you to only focus on the things that are pure and holy.  Those things coming from the mind of Christ will be the only things that will occupy your time.  Emotions I command you to come under the authority of Jesus Christ, you do not have the authority to rule over my mind or my body or dictate what I do or think.  Choices I speak to you to line up with my identity as a son of God and all that entails so that I become all that I was destined to be from the beginning.  Will I command you to line up with the will and purposes of the Father and come into alignment with my inheritance as a son of God.  Soul; every part of you, receive the depth of the love of God through His first love fire. 

Now, Lord, will you take this first love fire that is coming through my spirit to my soul and burn up everything that is not of you.”

Fear of God

“Father the fire that I stepped through to come to Jesus was the gateway of first love. So I choose to take that fire of first love and open the gateway of fear of God in my spirit. I choose to take the fire of first love and let it flow through me and through this gateway of the fear of God. I take a step forward beyond the gateway and I release the fear of God into my soul and my body.  I release it through my conscience, reason, imagination, mind, emotions, choices, and will.  I release the fear of God through my hands, mouth, nose, eyes, and ears.  I receive back from you God, a greater understanding of the fear of God and its manifestation in and through my gateways.   I open the gate of fear of God and yield it to your glory, Father. I receive and release the power of God through this fear of God gateway, that I may begin to receive revelation of Your Kingdom that it may change my soul into the image of the Son of God that abides in me.”

Gateways of the Spirit, Soul, and Body

Gateways of the Spirit, Soul, and Body

Psalm 24:7-9 says, “Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory will come in.  Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.  Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory will come in.” 

David is referring to us here; we are these gates and doors.  As we open up our gates and doors to the King, He will come in and His glory will be manifested on the earth.  We are to manifest the Kingdom of God and His glory on the earth and the only way we can do that is if our gates are open to receive from Him and let it flow out of us into the world.  It flows from the inside of us out to the world.  Everyone who is born again has the First Love Fire of God inside just waiting to get out to the world.

In order to allow the First Love Fire of God to flow through us from the inside out our spirit gateways must be open and our soul and body gateways must be cleaned and maintained.

This is one of the prayers that I pray in order to open my spirit gateway of revelation.  I will begin to post other prayers I use to open other spirit gateways as well as prayers that I use to clean and maintain my soul and body gateways so that the full expression of the Kingdom of God can be manifested in and through me to the world around me.

These prayers were adapted from Ian Clayton's teaching on the Gateways of the Threefold nature of Man.

Revelation

“Father the fire that I stepped through to come to Jesus was the gateway of first love. So I choose to take that fire of first love and open the gateway of revelation in my spirit.  I open the gate of revelation and yield it to your glory, Father. I receive and release the power of God through this revelation gateway, that I may begin to receive revelation of Your Kingdom that it may change my soul into the image of the Son of God that abides in me.”

Link to article mentioned in last posting

I am not sure why the last post didn't post the link to the article I was citing from but I am going to try to re-post it here if you want to go to it.

What does the More look like in our lives?

The season the Lord has had me in for almost a year now has been one of stretching, growing, revealing, and encouraging.  It started with stretching which led to growing then I was able to receive revelation I had not encountered before and as I have embraced the new revelation the Lord has been encouraging me to go further than I have ever been before.  It is hard to explain this new found revelation from the Lord so I decided to just post a story of an experience I had recently.  After having this experience I wrote it down in my journal.


Wednesday night worship and prayer                                                                                    May 8, 2013
I can see a door right in front of me and I feel like I am steadily moving closer and closer to it. I am touching the door knob and turning it to open the door.  As I pull the door open there is a bright light streaming in from the other side.  I am a little hesitant about opening it all the way, but the Lord says He is with me and gives me courage.  

So I open the door all the way and the bright light fills the entire doorway. I realize if I step across the threshold of the door I will be engulfed in the light.  I hear the Lord say, “It’s okay we can go together.”  He takes my hand and together we step through the door and into the light. As my foot touches the ground on the other side the light begins to move up my foot and then my leg.  As my other leg comes across the light is covering my entire body.  The light is on me and in me and I am in it. 

I look down at my hands and the light begins to shoot out of them from my palms and fingers.  Then I realize it is coming out of my feet the same way.  It is as if my pours are leaking the light as my whole body is glowing with it. I open my mouth to say something and light shoots out of my mouth, eyes, nose, and ears. I feel as if my body is going to explode from the light pouring out from it.  

Then I hear Father God saying, “You are a being of light and the light in you brings healing.”  At this point I feel myself going into intercession for Pastor Saeed Abedini to be healed and released from solitary confinement.  This longing way down deep in my spirit is overwhelming me and I begin to ask the Lord to send me to him. Then I just say send me wherever you need me to go, but just let me go before I burst from this healing light.

All of a sudden I was taken to a small dark cell.  I couldn't get a clear picture of how big it was as one time it looked not even big enough for a man to stand up in and then it looked as if it was about 6 ft  x 10 ft. and about 6 ft. high.  I then see Pastor Saeed on the floor in the corner of one end of the cell.  Before I can go to him I notice an angel at the far end of the cell and he is holding food for Pastor Saeed.  I ask the angel his name and he says he is Michael.  I realize there are no windows in the cell but I can see everything clearly.  Then I realize the light illuminating the cell is coming from me. 

I go over to Pastor Saeed and reach down to touch his face.  He is sleeping so I call to him, “Pastor Saeed, it is time to stand up.”  He awakens with a start and asks, “Am I going home?”  I say, “No the Lord is not finished here.”  I help him to stand and then I realize I am taller than he is, but he is not a short man.  I am standing in front of him but I am a head taller than him.  I reach out and embrace him and the light flows from me to him and he falls back to the ground.  I bend down next to him and I see the damage to his body. So I start at his stomach and I reach up into the air and grab a new kidney and bring it down to his body and it goes into his body.  (It was like I had access to a room of body parts where I was just reaching in and bringing it into the prison cell. Then his body would open up and receive it.)

I continued to do this with other organs and body parts until I no longer saw any damage.  I replaced his liver, stomach, gall bladder, and bladder.  Then I took my hand and moved it down over his legs and his bones immediately straightened out and grew together where they were broken.  I did the same for his feet and ankles and toes.  I moved my hand up to his spine and every bone, muscle, ligament, and tissue was repaired as the light from my hand moved across it. 

I then turned him over onto his back and as I ran my hand over his chest I could see one of his lungs was deflated.  It immediately inflated and expanded, and his ribs and collar bones fused back together.  I felt his heart begin to beat faster.

I then moved up to his head.  His right ear drum had burst and it completely returned to normal and opened up and all the swelling on his face went down.  Once the swelling went down I could tell his jaw was broken as it began to sag to the side.  As I held my hand over his jaw the light moved across it and it went back into place and even a few teeth that were missing in his mouth grew back into place. 

Then I saw the helmet on his head.  It was oppression and depression that the enemy had placed over his mind.  There was a metal latch across the front of it and as I began to unlatch it to take it off two demons began to scream and hiss at me.  I took my hand and moved it in front of the demons and when the light touched them it knocked them backwards into the wall and they disintegrated.  It was then that I realized why Michael was there.  The demons had been tormenting Pastor Saeed and Michael was there to make sure they didn't kill him.  He had the food there to help keep Pastor Saeed's strength up.

I reached down and kissed his forehead and told him the Father loved him and had been with him from the beginning.  That He wanted to invade the prison with His love and was going to use him as a sign and wonder of His love.  I said, "the Father has healed you and will continue to send His angels to protect, feed, and nourish your body.  When you walk out of solitary confinement you will be healthier than when you were first arrested.  They will see and will want to know your God.  It will be an opening for the Father to come and lavish His love on the men in the prison."  I was whispering this into his ear and when I pulled back I saw tears streaming down his face.  I told him to pray and sing in the spirit in order to work with Michael keeping the enemy at bay and his mind sound.  I smiled down at him and he asked me who I was.  I told him I was just an intercessor who had been praying for him and then just as suddenly as the vision had started it ended and I was back in the church.

A few days later, my friend told me about an article that she had read that said Pastor Saeed had been released from solitary confinement.  It stated, "Other prisoners reportedly told Saeed's family that when Pastor Saeed was released from solitary confinement, 'he was glowing,' and that miraculously he 'was filled with more joy and peace after solitary' than he was before solitary."  http://global.christianpost.com/news/aclj-pastor-saeed-abedini-glowing-with-joy-prayers-making-a-difference-95878/#IFCUTwAAbec2iq4R.99


I have had other encounters like this before but this was the first one where I felt the Lord really encouraged me that it was real through the article.  A few months ago I would have thought this experience was just another cool vision that God gave me for whatever reason I didn't fully understand.  However, since January I have been listening to some preachers and teachers who have had similar experiences and they believe they have been trans-relocated in the spirit and that God has used them to touch others with His love, healing, power, and help in crisis.

John 14:12 specifically says, if we believe in Jesus we will be able to do the things He did and even more. Jesus was trans-relocated many times through out the new testament. John 6:14-15 says when Jesus realized the people were going to seize Him, He withdrew again to the hillside by Himself. Then further on in chapter 6 we read in 17-20 that the disciples took a boat by themselves out to sea and after they were 3 to 4 miles out to sea Jesus came walking to them on the water and got into the boat with them.  Also verse 22 says the next day the people still on the other side of the sea were still trying to find Jesus because they had seen the disciples leave in the boat without Jesus.  So not only did Jesus trans-relocate to the hills but also to the water where He got into the boat with the disciples.

There are other incidents where the crowds were angry at Jesus and wanted to kill Him and the Scriptures tell us He "hid Himself, went out of the temple, going through the midst of them" John 8:59. This doesn't mean He hid behind pillars or in a corner, it means He disappeared and walked right through the people.

Another time the angry crowd was going to throw Jesus off a cliff and again Scripture tells us He "walked through their midst and went on His way" Luke 4:28-30. This doesn't mean the angry crowd suddenly decided to part and let go of Him and let Him walk off, it means He disappeared in front of them and walked through them.  Jesus was trans-relocated to another dimension in the spirit in order to flee the crowds.  If Jesus did it, Scripture says we will do it and even more.

I am expecting to do the things Jesus did and am looking for the more!

Which Tree are You Living From?

The question of late has been how do we as individuals who believe in the power of the cross of Christ go from a natural place of living out of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil to living supernaturally from the tree of life?

As a believer in Jesus Christ, His life, death, and resurrection there is a constant tension attached to my life regarding this belief and what it really means to me on a practical everyday level.  If I believe there is power in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ how does that change my everyday existence and is my life supposed to look like something other than it is?  What does the cross of Christ really mean for me as an individual living in an affluent culture where I am taught that I don't need God.  Where I am taught I can take care of myself and live my life doing whatever makes me happy with no thought of God or His influence on humanity. (Unless of course I see an injustice which I can readily blame on His negligence or lack of feeling for me or others)

In my frustration with life and the mundaneness of it I seek to find what is missing.  Life doesn't seem to have much meaning within the confines of the daily routines involving work, church, and everyday home life.  There must be more to this "Christian" life and I intend to find it!

Two influences who the Lord has set in my journey of discovery have been Jared Black and Ian Clayton.  I began listening to Ian about a month ago and through his teaching the Word of God has opened up to me in ways it never has before.  Now I find after attending teaching sessions with Jared Black the Lord seems to be saying very similar things.  Both of these men have learned the value of studying the Bible from a Hebraic interpretation instead of from the Greek interpretation in which we now have.  This leads both of them to a form of teaching that is more Rabbinical in nature. Leaving each subject open ended in an effort for the student to "chew on" what has been said and seek God for the answer therefore making room for relationship between the student and the Savior. I personally thrive in this form of teaching because it gives me time with the Father to work out of me everything that is not like Him.

So in my journey of discovery the subject that God seems to be highlighting within both settings involves the way I live my life as follower of Jesus and the two trees in the garden seem to be His method of approach.  The tree of the knowledge of good and evil and the tree of life found in Genesis represent two ways of thinking and living life.  It says in Genesis that the tree of the knowledge of good and evil brought death while the other tree brought life.  So just like Adam and Eve we have the choice to live our life pursuing the knowledge of good and evil or pursuing life.

Jesus was our example here on earth as He never addressed questions posed to Him from a right or wrong standpoint. He always gave another option and turned it from right or wrong, good or evil to something else. The something else He would focus on most often resulted in the choice of life or death.  So what does this look like for us as we live in a society where social justice has become the god of choice and what is right or wrong, good or evil is in the eye of the beholder? How do we climb down from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and climb up the tree of life?  What does that look like practically?

This question is not easily answered because unless we are daily sitting at the feet of the Father learning what His heart is saying in every situation our natural tendency is to run back up the tree of knowledge and judge what we see from our perspective there.  How do we get down from the tree and stay down in every situation or circumstance that comes up?

Today while listening to a teaching by Ian Clayton I heard some things that made sense regarding this very subject.  He stated that the Laws of the Kingdom of Heaven are not a set of rules and regulations that produce death but are a lifestyle of knowing and experiencing the power of a higher law.  The Laws of the Kingdom of Heaven produce life.  This statement reminded me of the two trees one producing death the other producing life.  He went on to state that the Laws of the Kingdom of Heaven are a living substance that exists in a living kingdom and is secured by relationship with that kingdom.  If you don't have a relationship with the Kingdom of Heaven and secure the laws out of that kingdom then you will remain subject to the laws of sin and death.

So what does this mean for me in the confines of my earthly existence?  I am not sure, but one thing I do know, if living in the confines of this earthly existence keeps me subject to the law of sin and death I need to find a way out of these confines.

The Lord has revealed to me in a greater way lately the truth of my existence as a spirit being first.  I was created to be a spirit being before I was created to be a human being.  This being said, as a spirit being I  have access to and authority in the spirit realm and the realm of heaven.  I am still fleshing this revelation out and all the nuances of it but if Jesus said in John  14:12 that we would be able to do the things He did on earth and even greater this makes perfect sense.  Jesus not only healed the sick and raised the dead, He also walked on water and through walls and crowds. If we are to do the things He did and more should it not stand to reason we would have to access and live our lives more as spirit beings than human beings?

If I could live my life continually as a spirit being there is no telling what my life would be like and how God could use me to further His Kingdom here on earth.  It would beat living a mundane life of routine any day.

As this revelation unfolds I would ask that you give me grace to explore what I am hearing the Father saying on the subject and seek to hear Him for yourself.
