Excellent Things

By | Vault

Proverbs 22: 20-21 says, “Have not I written to you excellent things in counsels and knowledge.  That I might make you know the certainty of the words of truth; that you might answer the words of truth to them that send to you?”

“Pay attention to these excellent saying of three-fold things. For within my words you will discover true and reliable revelation. They will give you serenity so that you can reveal the truth of the word of the one who sends you.” TPT

One of the first things that we learn in our Christian faith is about the Excellent Oneness of our God as He moves as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Oh Lord. Our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth! These three are knitted as One but move in different functions as three persons to represent God’s Fullness. We need to receive revelation and understanding through counsel, wisdom and knowledge to grow up into the fullness of His image that we were created to be.

God has placed all things beneath His feet and anointed Him as the head over all things for His church.  This church is His body, the fullness of the One who fills all in all. Ephesians 1:22-23

Father, out of Your honorable and glorious riches, strengthen Your people. Fill their souls with the power of Your Spirit  so that through faith the Anointed One will reside in their hearts. May love be the rich soil where their lives take root. May it be the bedrock where their lives are founded so that together  with all of Your people they will have the power to understand that the love of the Anointed is infinitely long, wide, high, and deep, surpassing everything anyone previously experienced. God, may Your fullness flood through their entire beings. Ephesians 3:16-19

God was pleased that all His fullness should forever dwell in the Son. 1 Corinthians 1:19

You see, all that is God, all His fullness, resides in His body. Colossians 2:9

We desire for God and His Kingdom to be represented on this web site in a multitude of counsel. This is a three-fold covenant of the words of truth used especially of the Words of God in the Old Testament. Young’s Literal Translation says, “have I not written to you three times…?”  The Jerusalem Bible adds, “Have I not written for you thirty chapters…?”  The number thirty reveals the principle of coming to maturity or coming to the throne.  It is also a number denoting priesthood.”   In the New Testament the “word” is “logos” (G3056 a word uttered by a living voice; the sayings of God).

 

Jesus was a Prophet, Priest and King. We can see in both his spiritual and earthly heritage that David operated also as prophet, priest and king.

The patriarch Joseph and the monarch David were thirty years old when they ascended to their places of rulership.  The priests began to minister at the age of thirty.  The heavens opened over the head of the prophet Ezekiel when he was thirty.  The Pattern Son Jesus came to the river Jordan and began his public ministry at the age of thirty.  The child was born at Bethlehem, but the Son was given at the Jordan.

Call to Me and I will answer you, and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish. Jeremiah 33:3

There are many times that the word excellent is used in scripture but we want to zero in on this particular meaning.The Hebrew word for “excellent things” in Proverbs 22:20 is from the root word shalosh (#7991) and means “a three-fold measure, a triple (as a musical instrument), a triangle (or perhaps a three-stringed lute),  a general of the third rank (upward, the highest).”  It is translated in the King James Version as “captain, instrument of music, (great) lord, (great) measure, prince, and three.” It is taken from the word (#7969) meaning “three, third, thrice.”  Thus, these “excellent things” are three-fold things!   Truths dealing with three dimensions.  This is the manner, in which, the Father has written His counsels and knowledge that we might know the certainty of the words of truth.

You will see on this web page demonstration in three-fold truths.  If

the Proverbs contain keys to understanding riddles and mysteries (Prov. 1:2-6), then we have one of those keys given to us here. God speaks in threes, for he is a triune God. We have a body, soul, and spirit. God lived in a three-room house (outer court, holy place, and the chamber of the Holy of Holies). These three-fold dimensions are throughout the Bible. We see David had three mighty men as told in 2 Samuel 24:13-16.

For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one.  And there are three that bear witness on earth: the Spirit, the water, and the blood; and these three agree as on earth. 1John 5:7-8.

There are three times God’s people are to gather to celebrate great periods of God’s annual feast days of worship. They are the Spring Festivals (Passover, Days of Unleavened Bread and First Fruits), the Summer Festival (Pentecost) and the Fall Festivals (Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement and Feast of Tabernacles).  Exodus 23:14-17. The Spring Festivals tell of Jesus’ first coming and the Fall Festivals tell of His second coming. You will find it takes all seven feasts to describe the fullness of the Lord.

There are hundreds of examples in the Word that the Spirit of God demonstrates and teaches in threes. May this be a season that you are quickened to excellence and allow the Lord to align you in a whole new way. God is described, in the very beginning of the book of Revelation, as a Being “who is, and who was, and who is to come” (Revelation 1:8).

Can you begin to see yourself as one who is in the present, co-laboring  with God, who was in the beginning with God, and who is to come with the King of kings and Lord of lords to rule and reign with God. Yes, we are assured that the saints who have received the Kingdom, will possess the Kingdom forever, even forever and ever. Daniel 7:18

Oh Lord, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!

I Am Releasing Uncommon Treasures

By | Vault

I HEARD THE LORD SAY, “I AM RELEASING UNCOMMON TREASURES!”

heard the Lord say, “I am releasing uncommon treasures, for I am getting MY house in order. You have been hearing “Get your house in order” and now I say to you, I am getting My house in order. I am forming, positioning and releasing My uncommon, precious and peculiar treasures.”

He began to show me priceless jewels shining out of the darkness. As more appeared, the darkness began to subside. Holy Spirit reminded me He often speaks to me about how gems are formed, and shows me jewels and treasures in dreams and visions. The first vision I ever had was as a young child in Sunday School, when the teacher asked us to draw a picture of heaven. I drew a castle-like building covered with many different colors of jewels; under the castle I colored the ground gold.  The teacher shamed me, saying, That doesn’t look like heaven, that looks like a birthday cake!” Many years later, when I read Revelation Chapter 21, I was stunned as Holy Spirit reminded me of that Sunday School class and what I had seen and drawn

He is speaking to me now, saying that there are many others to whom He has shown these and many other treasures, and now is the time for the release! He brought to mind one of my favorite verses, Malachi 3:16-17, “Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, And the LORD listened and heard them; So a book of remembrance was written before Him For those who fear the LORD And who meditate on His name. “They shall be Mine,” says the LORD of hosts, “On the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them As a man spares his own son who serves him.”” (Malachi 3:16-17 NKJV)

Precious and priceless treasures, it is time! The Lord has need of thee! Stay ready and alert, the midnight hour is upon us and you are being positioned to release His glory! To those with ears to hear, we cry out, “Yes, Lord, pour forth, pour forth, pour out Your glory through lives revealing You story!”

I hear the Lord saying, “I am getting My house in order – the foundations have been laid from eternity and much shaking and shifting is removing false structures that have been erected. There will be a restorationMy hand is shaking every nation. Many are feeling the pangs of birth; you carry My glory that will cover the earth. My uncommon treasures have been prepared for positioning. They have been separated from the masses, unto Me, for they have tasted of the age to come and are not satisfied with anything less (Heb. 6:5). They have seen my treasuries, and nothing compares – they recognize the paltry glitter of cheap imitations.

“By faith Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward.” (Hebrews 11:24-26 NKJV)

“if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious. Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” (1 Peter 2:3-5 NKJV)

I hear, “My beloved, do not settle for less. Wait for Me, My coming is as certain as the dawn (Hosea 6:3). Wait for Me. Keep your heart fixed, steadfast and sure; My eyes are upon you and My love is pure. Trust Me. I am getting My house in order and you are my uncommon treasure. You are a rare jewel, priceless and precious. do not cast my pearls before swineothers will see that you are wholly Mine.

I am preparing a place for you. Everything you have “lost” is coming forth. Entrust Me with those places in your soul where you carry remnants of the pain of perceived loss. I cannot give you the abundant more when you refuse to open the door. Give it all to me, your regrets and pain. I will turn every “loss” into great gain.

To those that are even now feeling the sharpness of the chisel, I hear the Lord say, “Be encouraged, I am preparing you to release as uncommon treasure to build My house; allow My glory to shine through these cuts and bring light to the darkness. Will you “see” My Kingdom and allow Me to be Lord and King? My treasuries will be released to you and through you.

“I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me. Riches and honor are with me, Enduring riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yes, than fine gold, And my revenue than choice silver. I traverse the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice, That I may cause those who love me to inherit wealth, That I may fill their treasuries.” (Proverbs 8:17-21 NKJV)

Further, the Lord says, “Even as Solomon did not ask for wealth, but wisdom to lead, and I poured out my wealth upon him (2 Chron. 1:11-12), so I do for all my children when they seek My wisdom to be good stewards of what I have entrusted to them.

The Lord is faithful! I hear Him so clearly speaking: “I am building My house and placing My treasures in position – those with hearts for My wisdom, who lay hold of My vision. My uncommon treasures desire Me alone, they have seen the true riches upon My throne.

“”For thus says the LORD of hosts: ‘Once more (it is a little while) I will shake heaven and earth, the sea and dry land; ‘and I will shake all nations, and they shall come to the Desire of All Nations, and I will fill this temple with glory,’ says the LORD of hosts. ‘The silver is Mine, and the gold is Mine,’ says the LORD of hosts. ‘The glory of this latter temple shall be greater than the former,’ says the LORD of hosts. ‘And in this place I will give peace,’ says the LORD of hosts.”” (Haggai 2:6-9 NKJV)

I heard the Lord say, “Even as the fire of the islands are erupting, and new land is forming, there are those who have been in the furnace of affliction and allowed My fire to purge and remove those things hindering my purpose for the Kingdom.  Upon these I now pour the water of life and the wind of My spirit to birth new lands. My light is shining on those seemingly dead and dark places, and new life will come forth. What was ground taken by the enemy is being purged by fire and will be reformed into Kingdom territory. 

Come up higher and you will see as I see. Every area of loss will become gain. Even as Job “lost” much, your latter will be greater than the former. There is nothing outside of My reach, I am the restorer of the breach. Every place of loss and lack, I declare will be brought back. It will be better than it was before. I am the God of abundance, of the more.”

“”The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” (John 10:10 NKJV) 

Have I not said, I will provide? I want the best for My Bride. Do not settle for the things of this world, when My glory is about to be unfurled. I am jealous for you; you are my priceless treasure, and I will pour out blessings beyond all measure. You are perceiving from what you know; my ways are not as those of the world; to the Spirit you must sow. 

I’m building My house with uncommon treasures and My glory will flow with unending measure. I am the Master Jeweler. I know precisely where the cuts need to be made so that My light will shine through you with brilliance. You are created to bear My beauty and release My glory in a way that cannot come through any other. You are My rare gems, pressing in to My Word and My Spirit during the cutting and polishing; My light will radiate in such manifold witness that those destined to come forth into My Kingdom will be drawn to my glorious light, and your enemies will be blinded. Seeking My face, you have become My uncommon treasure, and My glory will pour through you beyond all measure. Your eyes are opened to see that you are My workmanship (Eph. 2:10) and My effectual grace I pour upon you so that you can endurethe pressure and heat required to bring forth the rarest of gems. See before you My heavenly coffers, far exceeding anything this world offers.

“”O you afflicted one, Tossed with tempest, and not comforted, Behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, And lay your foundations with sapphires. I will make your pinnacles of rubies, Your gates of crystal, And all your walls of precious stones.” (Isaiah 54:11-12 NKJV)

“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” (Romans 8:18 NKJV) 

“Hear Me,” says the Lord, “Stay strong, be ready, keep your eyes fixed and your heart steady. I am with you in the heat and pressure; allow My cutting to bring forth glory beyond measure. I am shaping you into My priceless treasures. Let My faith within you rise. I am opening your eyes. See Me in the midst of pain. Trust Me; let this become great gain.” 

“You shall also be a crown of glory In the hand of the LORD, And a royal diadem In the hand of your God.” (Isaiah 62:3 NKJV)

I WILL FILL ALL THINGS; DECLARE MY GOODNESS!

By | Vault

We are clearly in a war, but we know that the victory is ours, and I am so thankful that many new strategies are being released! Holy Spirit has been bringing new revelation to a warfare strategy He showed me last year….”When you see lack and negativity, declare My goodness.” What He is saying today is, “I will fill all things; declare My goodness.” At first glance, it doesn’t seem very different, but He brought to mind these scriptures:

“He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.” (Ephesians 4:10, KJV)

“And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.” (Colossians 1:17 NKJV)

“For of him, and through him, and to him, [are] all things: to whom [be] glory for ever. Amen.” (Romans 11:36 KJV)

This is a year where God wants His goodness to fill all things. The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord (Ps. 33:5) but we don’t always see it. The enemy brings distractions and circumstances that scream negativity and lack. God wants us to both see His goodness, and declare His goodness. In this year of birthing, fruitfulness and abundance, what we speak is critical. I have been seeing acceleration in manifestation of what I speak!

One aspect of God’s glory is His goodness. When Moses asked to see God’s glory, God responded by talking about His goodness.

“Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.”” (Exodus 33:19 NKJV)

“And the LORD passed before him and proclaimed, “The LORD, the LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abounding in goodness and truth,” (Exodus 34:6 NKJV)

The Bible is filled with scriptures exhorting us to give thanks to the Lord for His goodness….too many to list here, but it is clear that He wants us to focus on His goodness! This is a year of new wine, and Jeremiah 31:12-14 tells us when we stream to the goodness of the Lord for wheat and new wine and oil, our souls will be like a well-watered garden, and we will be satisfied with His goodness! Ps. 23:6 says that mercy and goodness follow us all the days of our lives. Goodness is following us; turn around in your perception (which is what repent means – think differently) and see it!

“[[To the chief Musician, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David is come to the house of Ahimelech.]] Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God [endureth] continually.” (Psalm 52:1 KJV)

It is easy to give praise reports and declare God’s goodness when we see it, but we are in a year of war and birthing new things. We need to declare God’s goodness when we don’t see it in the natural, to bring His Kingdom! There is a war between kingdoms in the spirit! Whose kingdom are you seeing? The Kingdom of God is ever present, outside of time or space, and we have to train our senses to perceive what God is doing! Declare His goodness where you don’t see it in the natural but you know Him and what He is doing in the spirit is full of life and goodness! Christ is in you, you are filled with goodness; declare His goodness wherever you go, wherever you see lack. You are filled with the knowledge of God, see what He is doing; release it and declare His goodness wherever you don’t see it!

“Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. And I myself also am persuaded of you, my brethren, that ye also are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, able also to admonish one another.” (Romans 15:13-14 KJV)

When you look up the word admonish in Strong’s Concordance, it means exhortation or warning, deep in the root structure that forms the word, it means to set forth, ordain and establish. God doesn’t fill us with all goodness and knowledge just so we can feel better about ourselves; we are build His Kingdom by releasing His goodness and knowledge! (Rom. 15:1-2)

Plant seeds of truth that God is good and declare His goodness in every area of lack that you see; stay in faith and watch the birthing unfold. Where you see sickness, poverty, need of any kind – turn around; goodness and mercy are following you! Receive them and declare them in your situation. God wants to be known and glorified in the earth. We are in a war and the enemy has overplayed his hand. I have had attack after attack and know so many others have too. The plans of the enemy are becoming too obvious now! Are you fainting in weariness?

“[I had fainted], unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.” (Psalm 27:13 KJV)

Recently, I had two specific attacks in direct relation to prophecies I had received. The second brought a manifestation that was hard to rise up over in faith. I was saying all the right things, but not really believing them. I had to believe the promises of God, the life of Christ in me and His authority over sickness, in order to declare His word IN FAITH. Within a few hours the situation changed.

We have to war over our prophecies and every promise we have received. Let our eyes be opened to the truth of God’s goodness and faithfulness to His Word; turn around, believe, then step out IN FAITH and declare His goodness!

The Finishing Anointing

By | Vault

The Book of Ecclesiastes discloses a critical truth in the very structure of God’s grand design. Chapter 3:1 says: “To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.”

We are presently in a time of great transition. We are not only finishing one month (Av) and beginning Elul, but we are finishing an entire year and beginning a brand new one. It is a very strategic place to be positioned and one of great importance.

The beginning and the end have always been very important concepts to God. Creation and the consummation of all things play an intricate role in all of our lives. Currently, we are in a Kairos moment of time where we must finish well so that we can begin anew. As we approach the conclusion of 5778, it is imperative that we should lend ourselves to a time for review and examination of the projects that have been given to our care. In taking this type of spiritual inventory, we can be assured of finishing well.

I especially think of the Finishing Anointing as the Head of the Year approaches. The month of Elul marks the ending of the Biblical year. It is a month in which we are encouraged to take time for personal reflection and to make the necessary corrections for finishing well. It is a time that we prepare to complete old assignments in order to be able to take up new ones. The month of Elul initiates our spiritual preparedness for the New Year that is about to begin. How exciting!

As believers, it is important that we understand and realize that the Finishing Anointing already abides in us. It is not something we must ask for as if we are bereft of its power. The Finishing Anointing is part of salvation’s package. We already carry the anointing to finish within us. It has always been God’s design that we complete and finish all that He has called us to do and He has devised a way for us to accomplish all of His good pleasure by placing the Finishing Anointing inside of us. How marvelous!

The word “finish” has many definitions. It means:

  • To stop doing an activity or task after reaching the point at which there is nothing left to do (i.e. finished cleaning the room)
  • To bring to a required or desired state (i.e. finish the painting = complete)
  • To arrive at or attain the end of (i.e. finish the race)
  • To perform the last maneuver in an offensive play (i.e. scoring a goal)

It is specifically this last definition that I wish to center in on and target as the objective of this teaching.

As we take this spiritual survey and assess those things that are still needing to be completed, we find there is a cry in our hearts that calls out to God in the time of every major transition. It says: “Lord God, give me the divine strategy to perform the last maneuver needed to complete every charge given to me and outwit the enemy successfully!” This is the war cry that we carry and it should echo even louder as we approach the end of the year. The strategy for delivering the last maneuver cannot be found in the realm of human reasoning or rational perception. The answer lies only with the Spirit of the Most High God.

Zechariah 4: 6 says: “Then the angel answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord.”

The operative words here are “by My Spirit.” The Holy Spirit is the only true Source of the anointing. It is only through the power of the Holy Spirit that anything of lasting value is ever accomplished. Whenever God wants a task to be completed, we can quicken the finisher’s anointing within us. That extraordinary power goes to work in our behalf as we yield our members to its awesome workings. It’s built in to every believer. Why? Because God desires that we finish well.

The Bible says in Revelation 22:13 that God is the “Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” That Omega anointing defines the finishing anointing. It is the power to complete what has been started. From the beginning to the end, from the start to the finish, the Alpha and the Omega is present to accomplish what is needed. The Alpha and the Omega will do what only He can do, but we must be diligent to do our part as well.

The Hebrew year of 5779 commences on the Eve of September 9, 2018 which will be Tishrei 1. Before that day arrives, I encourage you to sanctify and set apart time to inspect where you are regarding those tasks that have not yet been completed. This should be a holy time devoted to a sacred cause. God has placed within our hands things that need to be accomplished. Remember what Jesus said in Luke 12:48: “When someone has been given much, much will be required in return.” These are divine assignments that we should never take lightly. Be careful and attentive as you bring them before the Lord. Handle them as things of great value and be determined to finish them well.

 

Pray this prayer with me:

I thank You, Father God, for the finishing anointing that You have given me to accomplish, complete, and successfully perform the last maneuver essential for carrying out and reaching the intended goal of my God-given tasks for 5778. I rest in the fact that it is not by might nor power, but it is only by Your Spirit that this is accomplished. I trust in the completed work of Calvary enabling me to end all things well.

Therefore, according to Ecclesiastes 7:8 which says: “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof…” I stretch forth my hands over all my assignments for 5778 and, by faith, release the finishing anointing over them and declare that the power of the Spirit of God has imparted to me all the necessary parts, elements, and steps needed to achieve, carry out, and bring to a close every assignment for this year. As this year wraps up, I decree that all tasks given to my charge will wrap up also. As they come to their final end, let them be made acceptable in Your sight because I have kept the faith and trusted in Psalm 57:2 which says: “I will cry out unto God Most High; unto God that performs all things for me.”

Father, You are the Alpha and Omega. As I finish 5778 well, I look to You to begin a new and glorious work in me for the year 5779. Let me be a vessel of honor set aside for Your special purposes. Let the Spirit of Might overtake and enable me to do great exploits for Your glory. Use me to tear down and bring to ruin the kingdom of darkness. Surround me like a shield as I enter places where even angels fear to tread. Develop, mature, and improve my spiritual hearing. Sharpen and refine my spiritual vision. Train my hands for the battle ahead and give me accuracy in speaking Your Words as never before.

As the assignments of 5778 come near to their appointed end, I say that I will end this year well. And I proclaim that I will enter the upcoming year filled with divine strength and renewed purpose of heart so as to faithfully and successfully carry out Your will for my life in every area.

In Jesus Name, I pray!
