Message
Let us continue to plant seeds of Faith and take dominion over the earth for healing in the Name of Jesus.
It’s so exciting to witness God’s miracles. This week alone, two dear saints have been healed of cancer, one locally and the other testimony is shared by Charity Gayle on my Telegram Channel.
This generation is seeing God’s Mighty Acts and Greatness! I can feel it building and it excites my spirit.
I keep hearing The Father say, “I have heard their petitions!”
Initially, I was given a vision of believers in their homes on bended knee groaning in prayer for our nations. Thank you for being intercessors for the nations!
These prayers have brought in the rain of His Glory after 75 years… it will be extended to on all four corners of the earth! Hallelujah! Holy Spirit Come!
I heard, “You are about to witness the Third Greatest Awakening to spring forth in all the earth, this is my Ekklesia Church spoken of in Acts.”
I was excited when I got this Word, I promptly posted a podcast, but The LORD said, “WAIT, there is more.” In obedience I removed my podcast to wait on The LORD.
As citizens of Zion, join in corporate prayer for this wave of God’s Glory or Ekklesia Church to come forth in your city or town?
Let us pray specifically for a hunger for God’s Glory to build in the land to reach every family, every, Church, every school and government. Our prayers or petitions are being heard by The LORD God in the heavens.
This Kingdom shaking will unveil a fresh understanding of the gospel in the hearts of people all around the globe.
Our King is bringing us back to his original intent and purpose to conform to the image of His Son.
Jesus accomplished the preaching of Ekklesia Church as a massive people movement.
The word Ekklesia is used in the New Testament to refer to the Church, a group of called out ones specifically designated to establish Kingdom rule on behalf of Jesus Christ.
Our mission is to reclaim principalities and powers on earth as the Ekklesia for GOD by the doctrine of Jesus Christ, because it is this kind of Church that “the gates of hell will not prevail against,” (Matthew 16:18).
The Ekklesia shall arise in the earth, as believers seek the Most High in our secret place, and as His Ekklesia builds, we shall experience the most amazing healing yet to come on earth by the power of Jesus.
Our Prayers are His conduit to perform extraordinary miracles just like the hands of Paul (Acts 19:11).
I was doing the breakfast dishes on April 22 and The LORD said, “Catechism, Marxism and then finally Skepticism”.
Then in a whisper I heard, “You are no longer living in skepticism. Come into My Glory!”
I felt the warmth of His invitation.
Throughout the day, I kept drifting back to His Words and realizing that the church The Father is building will be built within His People.
You see instead of manifesting a Kingdom Church, we have religion, a worldly pattern that divides nations into separate Church entities. We also have a bunch of people searching for what they have not yet found, which is the Kingdom of God.
Many souls are sick, exhausted, and spiritually weary, but the majority truly love The LORD GOD. This hunger will usher in the move of Glory to reign from the heavens.
There is a loud clarion call from heaven to inspire each of us pray and to lean into the voice of the Holy Spirit. God is calling His beloved to come to Him that He may nourish them, coddle them on His shoulder, and whisper a sweet love song to His beloved!
Let us just sit, read the Word of God and wait for God to usher in His Glory Rain.
Then the Holy Spirit spoke, “Angela, man is weary and the fulfillment of their groaning in prayers of Mine are beginning to manifest on the earth.”
Holy Spirit attributes are always those of God, right! He knows all things as being part of the Holy Trinity.
He is our seal of ownership marking those who belong to God. He performs divine works and gives life, he and God are interchangeable.
When we know who the Holy Spirit is — we allow Him to come and take residency within our souls. AMEN!
“He humbled you and let you be hungry, and fed you with manna which you did not know, nor did your fathers know, that He might make you understand that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything that proceeds out of the mouth of The LORD.” Deuteronomy 8:3
There is nothing Satan desires more than to control our minds to block God’s Spirit.
If you are having difficulty praying, I want to encourage you to worship in song. In the days of Noah,
“The LORD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually.” Genesis 6:5
Our turning point to God’s Glory Rain will not be found in religion or teachings of this world, it will begin with the death [surrender] of man’s flesh, so God’s Love can grow in the hearts of man and their spirit can Arise to meet Our King while on earth.
Therefore, this call places a tremendous responsibility on the Christian’s to pray that the Holy Spirit will somehow stop people long enough and get their eyes off themselves and pleasurable pursuits that He can show them the wondrous love of Jesus.
Allow me to share my three-year journey, that stopped my selfish pursuits. It began on a snowy night in Wyoming. It was December and my family had rented a cabin near Yellowstone.
We were all quiet, exhausted and needing a spiritual revival. We enjoyed watching the snow fall and witnessed over 4 feet of snow fall day after day.
It was an enormous amount all at once. One of the first nights at this cabin The LORD gave me a dream.
My Dream
I was standing on a mountain peak and there were four (4) horses with riders making their way up the mountain trail towards me.
As they passed me, I noticed each rider wore a dark hooded cloak. When the Pale Horse approached, he turned his hooded head towards me, and I will never forget, he had a skull without eyes in his eye sockets.
It frightened me and I woke up!
This dream rattled me. I could not shake it! The Holy Spirit kept reminding me about it over and over, until I began to reflect on it!
The following days and evenings in that cabin were filled with guilt, fear and condemnation. I rose and walked the floor…. not being able to rest.
Then it came to me, all of a sudden, my blood rushed to my head, my heart palpitated and an awful impression rested on my mind that death had come, and I was unprepared to die.
I fell on my knees and began to ask God to have mercy on me….
“And I looked, and behold a Pale Horse: and his name that sat on him was Death, and Hell followed with him. And power was given unto them over the fourth part of the earth, to kill with sword, and with hunger, and with death, and with the beasts of the earth.” Revelation 6:8
My Pale Horse Dream was my turning point for God’s serious work of the mantle or spirit of Elijah within me!
Please do not misunderstand, I am not bragging as this humbling experience is about to happen across the world to many believers. It takes a scary world to turn believers back to GOD!
The fear of where I stood that day was death! Thankfully, we serve a merciful God who sent His gift, His Holy Spirit to reveal truths to remove my rock blocks surrounding my heart allowing His light to shine over every misconception or lie I carried. .
Each time I sat and dwelt in my Secret Place, The Holy Spirit came to encourage and guide my steps towards Kingdom Life.
This road might be familiar to you or maybe you are traveling it right now or know someone who needs encouragement in their journey! But, no matter, every step towards God is a step in fertile ground, even when we must fight the dark forces, and walk through many valleys of darkness.
Every experience, including disappointments, and sorrows, allows for the seeds already places within our souls to grow, expand and eventually bloom.
The Holy Spirit will use every single experience to bring glory to His Temple as he convicts and ignites hearts.
This is God’s plan to speak to your spirit so it can be anointed and raised from the dead.
We are all just like Christian in The Pilgrim Progress book. God’s Words build our temple and His Glory will rain within our spirit when we seek Him and learn to walk humbly with love towards others.
God is asking those willing to arise, to put the Elijah mantle. He said, “Go out, and stand on the mountain before The LORD” (1 Kings 19:11-18).
We are told Elijah comes first to restore everything prior to the arrival of Jesus. “And Jesus answered and said unto them, “Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.”” (Matthew 17:11).
Let The Holy Spirit speak to you in your trials and pain for which you have endured to enter this place at this time, for you born for such a time as this!
Jesus bared the cross at Calvary for your sin to be forgiven… now forgive yourself and enter the Kingdom of Heaven while on earth.
God is saying, It’s time now to ARISE!
The Holy Spirit reminded me that it was three and half years ago, this month of May!
“And the word of The LORD came to him:
“Depart from here and turn eastward and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan.” 1 Kings 17:2-3
You see those of you listening, have been called and yet with all your baggage, whether it was sickness, oppression, religion and the list goes on and on, you could not arise!
You always knew you were a forerunner and just now GOD is opening His Glory Gate to invade your spirit, so you may pick up your Elijah mantel.
Within your spirit are the tools in your garden shed, sit down and pray by asking The Holy Spirit to come invade your heart, mind and soul, as He comes to cultivate your garden.
“Lift up your heads, O gates, And be lifted up, ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in. Who is the King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O gates, And lift them up, ancient doors, That the King of glory may come in.” Psalm 24:7-10
As we enter, have your research notepad and pen ready to take you on an amazing ride and guided tour with The Holy Spirit.
Be alert, looking for clues in every verse, each one will point towards the end of the world.
For me, it wasn’t hard, but I could not accept what I found. I had so many unresolved memories, woundings, false teachings within my soul to cloud God’s truth. All I could see was the end of the world was here and I needed to prepare.
“When he broke open the third seal, I heard the third living creature cry out, “Come forward.” I looked, and there was a black horse, and its rider held a scale in his hand. When he broke open the third seal, I heard the third living creature cry out, “Come forward.” I looked, and there was a black horse, and its rider held a scale in his hand.” Revelation 6:5
Just like Elijah, separate yourself,
“Depart from here and turn eastward and hide yourself by the brook Cherith, which is east of the Jordan” (1 Kings 17:3).
Now with a grin, I realise The Father was revealing through a dream that my days of living on earth, relying on myself and my worldly comforts had come to an end.
He was calling me to come drink from His Brook of Living Water [The Holy Spirit] just like Elijah. This is the beginning of wearing the mantle mentioned first in the Old Testament, as a garment worn by several prophets including Elijah and Elisha.
“”You shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.” So he went and did according to the word of The LORD.” 1 Kings 17:4-5
When He opens His Word to us, we are to drink and discover His Hidden jewels [stones] to be placed within our crown of righteousness (2 Timothy 4:7-8).
“So David gathered all the people together and went to Rabbah and fought against it and took it. And he took the crown of their king from his head. The weight of it was a talentd of gold, and in it was a precious stone, and it was placed on David’s head. And he brought out the spoil of the city, a very great amount. And he brought out the people who were in it and set them to labor with saws and iron picks and iron axes and made them toil ate the brick kilns. And thus he did to all the cities of the Ammonites. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.” 2 Samuel 12:29-31
The Brook of Cherith closes the door to everything we desire within our flesh. Every plan we have for our life is laid down and God Call can be revealed. Each new jewel discovered on this journey is a stone spoken of in 1 Chronicles 20:2.
The mantle of Elijah begins with a white stone of salvation and then uncovers many layers that only Jesus our Savior can reveal. Then, we are given new stones [jewels] along our journey to be taken higher in His Staircase.
“And taking one of the stones from that place, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep. And Jacob had a dream about a ladder that rested on the earth with its top reaching up to heaven, and God’s angels were going up and down the ladder.” Genesis 28:12
And with the stones he built an altar in the name of The LORD: and he made a trench about the altar, as great as would contain two measures of seed (1 Kings 18:32).
Friends, it’s been over three years since my dream where I began to sit by the Brook of Cherith. The LORD told Elijah to drink from the brook and he would be fed by the ravens in the wilderness.
Let us be willing to drink by the brook, shall we?
The meaning of Cherith (H3747) means cut or chewed or separated. The meaning of ravens is in Strongs (H6148) is to barter, exchange, mingle, give or pledge and undertake.
This my friends is the opening of eyes, hearts and ears without religion, or self-righteousness, and even skepticism. These veils are being pierced and torn down, in order for the Glory of God’s Kingdom can reign over the earth
You see, when we read His Word for ourselves, Holy Spirit comes to remove things, even layers of gunk [lies] within our soul [conscious and unconscious] to be replaced with HIS TRUTH within hearts.
I had spent my entire adult life running in pursuit of worldly success by working 40-70 hours a week. My work habits kept me chained to the damage hidden within my soul. That third seal broke open that snowy night in December when I saw the dead man riding the Pale Horse. Praise God!
I have been a Christian for a long time, but the dead horse rider was an illustration of my spiritual condition. If you are new, here are the links to my spiritual rain!
To listen or read about my stumbling block, please check out my earlier Threshold series, Threshold — Part 1. Once my spiritual stumbling block was healed Threshold — Part 2, I was able to enter His Glory and receive healing to my body and mind.
The Elijah rain spoken of in 1 Kings 17:8-9. Elijah is told by God to:
“Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow there to feed you.”
The city is our hearts and Zarephath means smelting place or safe harbor (#G4558) during a famine, but in Hebrew it means refinement or refinery (#H6886).
His Rain is coming …as there is a big clash between God’s Kingdom and our world. Every aspect of our world has been invaded by the enemy as mankind has sown its self-centered seeds.
All though on the surface, many things are spiraling out of control, God is still on the throne and in CONTROL. Hallelujah!
We can be sure of this as we are the Victors. (Revelation 21:5)
God is calling His Glorious Bride and His Sheep who hear his voice. This Clarion Call from heaven is about to change the world! Halleluiah!
Those of you who understand the Kingdom are stepping up to take your rightful assignment by spending time in the presence of The LORD.
The enemy’s time is so short. We as believers will no longer be intimated by the works of darkness, but will be the shining lights displaying the authority through our character of Jesus.
We are God’s mouthpiece, therefore we must pray for every believer and those listening to ARISE to see the birth of the Ekklesia Church in the midst of it all.
So let’s lift our voices and sing now and welcome His Ekklesia Glory Church, Come now Arise!
Activation, or Where to Begin:
Psalm 51 describes King David’s cry after his sinful affair with Bathsheba (“Have mercy upon me, O God”—verse 1).
And David writes in Psalm 139:23-24: “Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
- David knew where personal revival has to begin: in the individual’s heart and soul.
- Personal revival begins with conviction of sin. Remember: “Whatever is not from faith is sin” (Romans 14:23).
And it is sin that quenches the Holy Spirit in the human heart (1 Thessalonians 5:19). - Part of the Holy Spirit’s ministry is to convict “of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment” (John 16:8).
And He brings conviction for a reason — so we will repent and be revived in righteous living.
How does conviction arise in the heart?
- By reading God’s Word and asking The LORD to open our eyes as we read (Psalm 119:18).
- By praying as David did: “Search me, O God, and know my heart” (Psalm 139:23).
- By God’s chastening (Hebrews 12:1-13). And by the counsel of others (Proverbs 11:14). The challenge is not in receiving conviction; the challenge is in submitting to it.
Is your heart ripe?
Commit to taking whatever steps the Holy Spirit shows you. Let His Glory manifest within you — today!
Prayer:
Dear Father In Heaven, I come before you in the name of Jesus to ask that I be shown the things that are currently hidden from my understanding.
I ask for your comforter and teacher, The Holy Spirit to come reveal as I read and study Your Word, the mantle of Elijah as well as any hidden gifts you have bestowed within me.
I set myself to receive from You, without reservation or hindrances.
I thank You Father for truth that will make me free.
In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen!
