The
purpose is to fulfill God’s perfect will, being selected specific
carriers of God’s Holy anointed oil – the End Time Anointing of the
Holy Spirit –
with Divine power! That sacred anointing flowed through the
Disciples and believers of the First Century Church,
releasing a Divine capability – a power and authority they never had
experienced before! The similar Holy
anointing is what we must have flowing, unlimited, unhindered, in these
last days! Without it, we will continue to stay in the position
of weakness, powerless and impotent! It is because of the anointing
that ‘every
yoke’ will be broken and destroyed!
The End-Time-Anointing
of the Holy Spirit
is God’s seal upon our life TODAY!
Scriptural
identification
with the Anointing Outpouring-wave!
Some waves (G-D's Army Divisions) will come separate, some will come
"overlapping" others follow up each other very fast! Names to these
Outpouring Waves are give according the
Biblical
figures that played a role in their time! The names by themselves
are recognizable according their Scriptural
identification with the
Anointing
Outpouring-wave! Name's could be different pronounced for the same
kind of wave. It is just trying to keep it simple! The numbers
of waves does not refer to the chronological way of
outpouring! They can come any time! People can have the activation
of different level in several waves! Like as example the 'Deborah's' (Wave) need to have the understanding for what 'the spirit of
humility' (wave) really stands for. Without a revealing and
outpouring of Divine love (Wave), nothing will have its value! God
is love, so we need to operate from God's love from within us
towards others! (Several operating waves for one person; or a
specific group of people, selected by G-D!) All useful 'vessels' for
G-D should have this understanding!
The
"LOVE Outpouring Wave" is the most important and contiguous
wave of all among all of the "waves" of His Divine Anointed
Empowered Army Divisions! Without this wave of G-D's Divine
love, the other waves cannot complete their purpose! It will be also
the first wave! The 'Wave of REPENTANCE" will follow up the way of
love! It is the effects of the wave of love that result in
Repentance by the conviction of the Holy Spirit! It is the time of God in these last days to activate His
Divine Anointed Empowered Army Divisions, who already exist!
They will receive God's power and anointing that will 'blow' our
mind! They will receive Apostolic
&
Prophetic authority and
healing power in measures greater than humanity had ever experienced in
whole historic time! God is about to release super-natural;
world-wide; new "mantles of anointing"; promises and commissioning
upon this nowadays generation! It will definitely level up the
measures of expectancy of how much of God we can receive and
manifest now! These are the one with the Divine wisdom of God alone;
not imitators of other men; without any compromises! The warrior
Lord's Army represent men & women of holy anointed useful "vessels"
to usher in the Kingdom so that no man can take credit for it! It
shall be to the Glory of God alone! No apostle
or prophet
who ever lived, equaled the power anointing of these
End-Time-Harvest-Revival - Men & women
of God!
At
the End-Time there will be one of the greatest spiritual awakenings
in the history of mankind! The hearts of fathers and sons, all
children and parents, will be turned toward one another; families
will be united in
Yeshua/Christ; the
Holy Spirit will be outpoured upon all flesh!

"God's
Army of Over-comers by
the
Blood
-
Revelation"
And they overcame him by
the blood of the Lamb, and by the
word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the
death. (Revelation 12:11)
And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of
the Lamb, saying, Great and marvelous are Thy works, Lord God
Almighty; just and true are Thy ways, thou King of saints.
(Revelation 15:3)

God is about to reveal His already raised army of "Over-comers"
up; releasing & activate men & women! People of God, specific &
especially chosen & highly anointed! Especially because of their specific loyalty & persistence, there
is a body of uncommon over-comers who are not intimidated by
the destiny processes of revelations, (dream) achievement and they
refuse to ‘abort’ G-D’s promises in their lives because of this.
They have been selected by the very hand of G-D to carry His
“End-Time-Solomon-wisdom”! It is for His glory and His power into the
End-Time-Harvest-Revival - Fields of even my own respective Divine
assignments. They are carrying His assignment and destination within
them and not their selfish own imaginations and agendas! They were
prepared to go through ‘hell’, because of their destination, high
calling and so their own devotional surrender to Him and their
commitment to His plan! They also had to suffer rejection without
seeking compensation or glory!
The Warrior Lord of Host had restructuring “their world” in order
that He may establish the order of their lives, after His ‘blue
prints’ for their (predestination) destiny. They now are having the
understanding that the Lord had redeem their battles also to mature
them, perfecting them, and building them for the
End-Time-Harvest-Revival - GENERATION' destination!
It is an inevitable fact of existence, there will be a war in Heaven
(Revelation 12:7)
Except for God's special chosen one, no one is able to survive!
The powers from darkness, the strength from hell itself, the
antichrist, inspired by satan,
will battle against the Lord of lords and the King of kings, the
Messiah Yeshua, the Christ,
and His 'over-comers' - the martyrs; whom
the evil one
tries to destroy!
Overcomers who has conquer and win the victory of their wars and
spirituals battles! They have been those who overcame also their
personal difficulties in what seemed to be "impossible"!
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of
life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God. (Revelation 2:7)
God made a promise that we can all be over-comers, even when we are
weak, so to receive rich rewards.
He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God,
and he shall be my son. (Revelation 21:7)
To him that over-comes—is an expression appearing in similar form
both in
(John16:33)
and
(1 John 2:13,14; 5:4, 5).
Paul uses a similar image
(Romans 12:21; 1 Corinthians 9:24, 25; 2 Timothy 2:5).
An over-comer conquers the problems pertaining to his or her local
church and remains faithful to the end!
(1 John 5:5; Revelation 2:26).
The blessings will be also for the over-comers,
the victorious warriors in God's End-Time Armey Division, labors in
the harvest field
God is about
to reveal His already raised army of "Over-comers" up; releasing &
activate men & women! People of God, specific & especially chosen
& highly anointed!

The soon coming Kingdom of God!

The song of Moses was one of triumph over Pharaoh
and his armies
(Exodus 15:1-9; Deuteronomy 32).
The song of the Lamb
is also for
He
had triumphed gloriously
- victory
over satan and
all enemies
of G-D and men!
(Revelation 15:3-4; Colossians. 2:14-17).
That is, God and Christ have demonstrated
their power over
satan and all rebels, as they predicted they
would in the plan of God. The great mystery of why God has allowed
the enemy to continue operating against Him
so long without definite action to stop Him is finally answered. Delay
in fulfilling this mystery is no longer!
Mystery, which is being outside
the range of un-assisted natural apprehension, can be made known only by
Divine revelation and is made known in a matter on that time appointed
by God's chosen ones!
And
he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till
the time of the end.
(Daniel 12:9)
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the
trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: (1
Thessalonians. 4:16)
Yeshua Messiah
gives us power to live for Him now, and he gives us hope for
the future! He will return very very very soon! You
need to be in
Yeshua/Christ; to
beYeshua/Christ's;
blessed, holy;
righteousness;worthy and being an "over-comer";
having a pure heart; living and walking in the
Holy Spirit; so
you are walking in the light! We are living in the
End of time! We can learn from the Divine
revelation-experiences from a
prophet who
lived more than twenty-five hundreds years ago:
Daniel!
......It is still accurate!
"Almighty G-D, enter our hearts and so fill us with Your love, that,
forsaking all evil desires, we may embrace
You, our only good. Show us, in Your mercy, O Lord and God, what You are
to us. Say to our souls; I am Your salvation. Speak,
that we may hear! Our hearts are before You; open our ears; let us seek
Your voice and cling to You. Do not hide Your face from us, we pray, O
Lord. Enlarge the narrowness of our souls, that you may enter in. Repair
the 'decayed mansions', that You may dwell
there. Hear us, O Heavenly Father, for the sake of Your only Son, Jesus Christ, our
Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the
Holy Spirit, now and
forever. Amen!"
(Saint Augustine; 354–430)
Walk with Me in
white garments!
(Revelation
3:4) Be clothed in white raiment!
(Revelation
3:5; 3:18; 4:4; 6:11; 7:9,13; 15:6; 19:8,14) I will not blot his name out of the Book of life!
(Revelation 3:5; Rev. 22:18-19; Exodus 32:32-33; Psalm 69:28) I will confess his name before My Father and the angels!
(Revelation 3:5) The the power & position
withChrist, Yeshua Messiah
See for detailed description below at "Blessings
to the Over-comers"
Not
every believer in Sardis was being condemned for complacency and
compromise with the world. The
Lord
Yeshua Messiah
pointed out that some had not soiled
their garments with
evil deeds!
These believers were being faithful! It must have been encouraging to
those few who had been attempting to live for
Yeshua
Messiah in this "dead"
church that the
Lord
Jesus Christ was commending them as worthy of His Name.
Yeshua
Messiah
promises a threefold reward for these faithful few. To be clothed in
white means to be set apart for God, cleansed from
sin,
and made morally and spiritually pure in the eyes of God! The
Book of Revelation
mentions white robes several times.
(Revelation 3:18; 4:4; 6:11;
7:9, 13; 19:14).
The white of these garments symbolizes the purity that comes when one
has been “washed” in
Christ’s blood!
Only those who have allowed
Yeshua Messiah to cleanse them from
their sins
and clothe them in white will be able to reign with
Him!
(Revelation 2:27).
“Because you
have obeyed
my command to persevere, I will
protect you from the great
time of testing that will come upon the whole world to test those who
belong to this world. I am coming soon. Hold on to what
you have, so that no one will take away your crown. (Revelation 3:10)
The
believers had endured patiently, as the
Lord Jesus Christ
had commanded,
so
He promised to protect them from the
great time of testing
that will come very soon upon the whole world to test those who belong
to this world. This protection from “the great time of testing” means
there will be a future time of great tribulation from which only true
& righteousbelievers will be spared! This is a
key to the
pre-Tribulation-Rapture; that true righteousness believers will be kept
from this time of testing because they will not be on the earth then,
having been taken to heaven through the “Rapture”!
(1 Corinthians
15:51-53; 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17).
This
“great time of testing” is also described as the Great Tribulation or
Day of the Lord, mentioned also in
Daniel 12:2; Mark 13:19;
and
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12.
(70th
week
of Daniel)
All the judgments recorded in the remainder of the
Book of Revelation
take place during this time of tribulation. While righteous
believers may have to face difficulty and suffering, they will certainly
be protected from God’s wrath and judgment! In the meantime, these
righteous people should hold on to what they have,
referring to
obedience and refusal to deny
Yeshua
Messiah!
(Revelation 3:8).
The
wise; righteous and faithful believer will be looking for very soon
coming of their
Lord
Yeshua Messiah,
and they be be ready, prepared, waiting, praying,
watching and expecting
Him!
They will know and recognize the
prophetic time-cycles
of God and will not be taken by surprise! They are able to discern and
to recognize the Shofar-blow of God!
Escape
this “great time of testing” is thus very possible, but it is also very
conditional! Those who are found 'worthy' in His eyes! Those who had not
defiled "their garments"! By keeping God's Word and having a honest
relationship with
Yeshua
Messiah,
the righteous Christian believer is given the promise of 'escaping' this
awful Tribulation 'hour'! But many "Christian believers" do not pay
attention on the soon coming return of the
Lord
Jesus!
Because of their response, their wrong attitude, maybe they may find
themselves ...suddenly... (as a thief in the night) in the Tribulation
hour! They are not considered "worthy" in the eyes of God! God held their sinful life-style up before them,
showing them the lessons they made have learned, but did not! They had not heeded the warnings of the events
so significant to
themselves! The opportunity of knowing and obeying the true G-D has
been given them, but they had not been taken to heart, and they were
about to reap the consequences of their
rebellion! They had refused to
humble their heart honestly! How sad...! My
people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast
rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shall be no
priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also
forget thy children. (Hosea 4:6 )
The
most nowadays 'spiritual leaders' had failed to teach their people
properly! They are also greatly to blame for the destruction and the
sufferings that will come upon many Church members.Media and
broadcasting money greedy preachers who had deceived the believers and
abusing God's Holy Word and Name for their own profit! How sad will be
their end?
This lesson in the same
way G-D is giving us the last warnings and chances to humble
ourselves, before it really became “Too Late”! In the same way
we as Christian are ‘partying’ with; what we think the
“important men of G-D” in the way we like (by our own mind-set
choice), not understanding and realizing we are grieving G-D’s
Holy Spirit!
Numbered; weighed & Divided …is also the “handwriting” G-D is writing TODAY! You as
Christian, has the make a choice! Your time is running out!
He has weighed you; your church, your ministry, your very own
life, etc... on His
scales and decided that ...???
The Son of man
Himself is active in the harvest-gathering of the elect! This harvest
could depict a general in-reaping of the (First-fruit) believers
The
Book of
Life
refers to the Heavenly registry of those who have accepted salvation in
Yeshua Messiah.
This expression appears elsewhere in the Bible. The picture of God’s
“Book” first appears in
Exodus 32:32-33.
Also, the psalmist had cried out against his
enemies,
“Erase their names from the Book of Life; don’t let them be counted
among the righteous”
(Psalms
69:28).
Daniel;
the
prophet
had
prophesied
the Divine revelation-experiences;
“At
that time every one of your people whose name is written in the book
will be rescued”(Daniel
12:1).
This “Book”
symbolizes God’s knowledge of who belongs to Him...only!
1.
The Book of the living
Having the
names of every human being that ever lived on planet
Earth!
Psalms 69:28
2.
The Book of LIFE!

For those who fear the Lord;
and think upon His Name!
Malachi 3:16
Sacrifices of the saints
It is the sacrifices of these
precious and righteous saints are making
because of their faith in Him! As they face the battle with the
enemy, they did not fear or were trying to escape
from it! They were loyal serving theirLord Yeshua Messiah,
who alone brings victory! The
enemy’s forces
are beginning to step up their persecution, because
satan
know very well that “he
has a little time”!
We are living now in the End Times, and
satans’ work becomes more intense!
Even though
the enemy
is very powerful, as we can see in the condition of our world
he
is always under God’s control! One of the reason God allows
satan to work evil
and bring
temptation
is so that those that pretend so.
To the saints who inhabitants the earth:
The accuser is cast down and all courts of
heaven are closed to satan. The prosecutor & accuser of saints is cast
out of heaven; defeated by Christ
on Calvary! Woe, for the enemy is
come down among you, having great wrath, because he
knows that he has a very short time
left. But Yeshua Messiah have demonstrated His power
over satan and all rebels, so you as
saint has also the power with Jesus Christ;
having complete power over the enemy and he
is under your feet as well!
All God’s followers of righteousness will be brought safely to Him;
not one will be overlooked or forgotten! God seals these believers
either by withdrawing them from the earth (this is called the
Rapture; not the second coming!) or by giving them special strength
and courage to make it through this time of great persecution! Even
though many believers have to undergo persecution, the seal does not
necessarily guarantee protection from physical harm—many will
die
(Revelation 6:11);
but God will protect them from spiritual harm! No matter what happens,
they will be brought to their reward of eternal life! Their destiny is
secure. These believers will not fall away from God even though they
may undergo intense persecution! In either case, these believers
come through their times of suffering by remaining loyal to God.
Because they remain faithful, God will give them eternal life with him!
The crowd in Heaven is composed of all those who remained
faithful &
righteousness to G-D throughout the generations. No true righteous
believer ever need worry about which group or denomination he/she belong
to; he or she will be in. G-D includes and protects each of us, and we
are guaranteed a place in His Shekinah presence!
Salvation comes from G-D and from the Lamb!
Salvation from
sin’s penalty
can come only throughJesus Christ!
Have you had the guilt of sin
removed in the only way possible?
How
long will it be before You judge the people who belong to this world for
what they have done to us? When will You avenge our ‘blood’
against these people?” As we see
the world’s wickedness,
we, too, may cry out to G-D, “How long?” Judgment comes at last! We may
be distressed and impatient, but G-D has His plan and His
prophetic
Divine timing, and we
must learn to trust Him to know what is best. Judgment is coming—be sure
of that! Thank G-D for the time He still has given you to turn from
sin.
Use the available time to work to help others turn to Him! G-D gives
rewards to His people according to what they deserve!
People don’t usually
fall into immorality and evil suddenly—they slip into it a little bit at
a time until, hardly realizing what has happened, they are irrevocably
mired in their wicked ways. Any person who allows sin to take root in
his or her life will end up in this predicament. Temptation entertained
today becomes sin tomorrow, a habit the next day, then death and
separation
from G-D forever
(James 1:15).
To think you could never
become this evil
is the first step toward a hard heart. Acknowledge your need to confess
your sin
before G-D!
The coming judgments are no longer partial but will complete in their
destruction. G-D is in control, and he unleashes His full wrath on
the evil world that refuses to turn to
Him
(Revelation 9:20-21).
When G-D’s judgments begin, there will be no escape anymore! (Unless
through repentance!)
Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the
wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked
shall understand; but the wise shall understand. (Daniel 12:10)
They overcame him, because
the Lamb, Jesus Christ, shed his Blood
for their
sins. The victory is won by sacrifice—Christ’sdeath in our place to pay the
penalty for our sin, and the sacrifices we
make because of our faith in Him. As we face the battle withsatan, we should not fear it or try to escape from
it, but we should loyally serve Christ,
who alone brings victory (Romans
8:34-39). They overcame
him, by giving witness about Yeshua Messiah to others! They were willing to risk their
lives even if it led to their death!
"Overcoming
the Enemy" Balak/Destroyer" Numbers 22:2-25:9 by
Rabbi & Mrs. Messer
In
this Torah
Portion, Balak,
whose name in Hebrew means "destroyer",
hires Balaam to curse
Israel. Balaam, the great seer of the gentiles (nations) surveys Israel
from three separate vantage points, yet all G-D allows him to speak are
words of blessing. Balaam himself is only saved from destruction after
G-D opens the mouth of his donkey to warn
Balaam. Today, the
spirit of Balaam
can be related to spiritual leaders that are not walking in the
Torah. G-D blinds these spiritual leaders, yet they are saved from
destruction, and again, by a donkey. Hosea, a
prophet
to the Northern Kingdom, gives the parallel:
Israel is swallowed up; Now they are among the Gentiles (nations) like a
vessel in which is no pleasure. For they have gone up to Assyria, like a
wild donkey alone by itself; Ephraim has hired lovers. Yes, though they
have hired among the nations, Now I will gather them; and they shall
sorrow a little, because of the burden of the king of princes.
"Because Ephraim has made many altars for sin, they have become for him altars for sinning. I have written
for him the great things of my law, but they were considered a strange
thing. (Hosea 8:8-12 NKJV)
The donkey appears again in
Mark 11:14-which foretells how the LORD (Yeshua
Messiah)
will ride into the City of Jerusalem on the back of a donkey.
Yeshua,
being carried by the donkey (Ephraim), will bring forth the message to
those scattered among the nations. Because Israel contaminated herself
and the Land with pagan idolatry worship,
G-D warned through His prophets that He would scatter Israel into the nations, and then
individually, by His Spirit
(Isaiah 45, 48), God would restore His people to their heritage. Israel incurs
blindness for steadfastly hardening their hearts to God. God responds
with an act of sheer mercy by opening the eyes of the nations to
Messiah.
This Mercy will become the basis of Salvation for the Jews (House of
Judah) and for the nations (House of Israel).
The story of Balaak
and Balaam foreshadows the
great end-times redemption, when the
enemy
of G-D will receive justice, as the
over-comers in G-D
receive deliverance. Just when
Balaak
and Balaam sought to curse
the children of Israel. G-D opened the mouth of those who were in the
nations (the donkey) to put His blessing and promise into motion. In
Hebrew thought, there is always a descent before an ascent. In
John 7:19, Yeshua recognizes and confronts His enemies saying, "Why do you go
about to kill me?'
To
be an achiever and an
over-comer,
by G-D's
Spirit,
you likewise need to recognize an adversary, and recognize that the
adversary's presence is the announcement of your promotion and your
future. An adversary is recognizable. The common will resent the
uncommon; the impure despises the pure. The unholy
hate the holy.
1.Yeshua expected His disciples to stir up enemies."And
you will be hated by all for My name's sake. But he who endures to the
end will be saved." (Matthew 10:22 NKJV)
"A
disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is
enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like
his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub,
how much more will they call those of his household?" (Matthew 10:24-25
NKJV)
2.
Yeshua
instructed His disciples to anticipate enemies."Behold, I send you out as sheep in the midst of
wolves. Therefore be
wise as serpents and harmless as doves." (Matthew 10:16 NKV)
3.
Yeshua
warned His disciples ahead of time that men would become their enemies."But
beware of men, for they will deliver you up to councils and scourge you
in their synagogues. You will be brought before governors and kings for
my sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles."
Balaak
and Balaam sought to sabotage
the children of Israel. Balaak was a destroyer, and the spirit of
Baalak is a spirit of destruction. The spirit of the adversary seeks to
influence people against the
Spirit
of G-D. Yet G-D has given you authority
over the adversary, and the realm of death.
The realm of death (yetzer hara-the evil
inclination) and the realm of life (yetzer hatov-the good inclination) are
also inside you. You must enter every battle against your enemy for the
purpose of bringing Glory to G-D.
Speak His blessings! Take
authority over your enemies, for you are inclined to do good because the power of the Living
G-D is rising up within you!
What Balaam meant for evil,
the G-D of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob used for good. The battle may not
be over, yet the victory is assured.
You are called as messengers of
His truth; pulling down strongholds, setting the captives free, and
preparing the way of the LORD.

God’s
Word is sweet to us as believers because it brings encouragement, but it
sours our stomach because of the coming judgment we must pronounce on
unbelievers. In the time of persecution, being faithful to
Christ/Yeshua
could bring imprisonment and even execution! Some believers will be hurt
or killed. But
all the enemy’s followers
will be able to do to believers is harm them physically; no spiritual
harm will come to those whose faith in God is sincere! All believers
will enter God’s Shekinah presence perfected and purified by
the blood of the Lamb! The
times of great persecution will provide an opportunity for believers to
exercise patient endurance and faithfulness! The tough times we face
right now are also opportunities for spiritual growth! Don’t fall into
