On 29 August 2021, THE HOLY SPIRIT moved me in an encounter to “weep between The Porch and The Altar!”

He was instructing me from Joel 2. (We in CHRIST JESUS have been made priests unto His GOD — Revelation 1:5-6):

“Let the priests, who minister to THE LORD, Weep between the porch and the altar; let them say, “Spare Your people, O LORD, and do not give Your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their GOD?’ ”
Then THE LORD will be zealous for His land, and pity His people. THE LORD will answer and say to His people, “Behold, I will send you grain and new wine and oil, and you will be satisfied by them; I will no longer make you a reproach among the nations. But I will remove far from you the northern army [the enemy], and will drive him away into a barren and desolate land, with his face toward the eastern sea And his back toward the western sea; his stench will come up, and his foul odor will rise, because he has done monstrous things.”
Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice, for THE LORD has done marvelous things! Do not be afraid, you beasts of the field; for the open pastures are springing up, and the tree bears its fruit; the fig tree and the vine yield their strength.
Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in THE LORD your GOD; For He has given you the former rain faithfully, and He will cause the rain to come down for you — the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. The threshing floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil.
So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you.
You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise The Name of THE LORD your GOD, Who has dealt wondrously with you; and My people shall never be put to shame.
Then you shall know that I AM in the midst of Israel: I AM THE LORD your GOD and there is no other. My People shall never be put to shame.” Joel 2:17-27.

“Weep between the porch and The Altar” (where animal blood was sacrificed in The Temple), is metaphorically speaking about we the priests today “having boldness to enter The Holiest by The Blood of JESUS, by The New and Living Way Which He consecrated for us through The Veil, that is, His Flesh“. (Hebrews 10:19-20).

Fasting and prayer with repentance by The Blood of JESUS will deliver the goods.

I had a very instructive dream on 22 August 2021.

The dream was set at a broadcasting organisation. I was going to see a work colleague off. (He looked familiar — like someone I know in the natural). We were on a very high platformed building complex.

He was broke, and, although I also urgently needed money, I was very very strong in faith, and exhorting him fervently.

I was telling him that THE LORD will send the former rain and the latter rain in the first month. And that in Israel, they are indeed sowing right now…..

Demonstrating with my right hand, I made the statement more accurate by saying that their crops have just started and growing. (I had in my imagination maize crop two to three weeks old).

When I mentioned “former rain and latter rain”, he tried to show his knowledge of Scripture by saying “Daniel 9:10” (referencing the quotation).

“Daniel 9:9”, I said in response — somewhat to correct him, but I backtracked immediately and he concurred. And I added that Daniel 9:9 talks about “times and seasons”.

We descended and came off the building complex and walking along an adjoining tarred pathway and saw a few new 50 bank notes. I let him pick all and didn’t scramble for the money in competition with him — so he could have some money he much needed.

Then we saw some more money (50 bank notes). Again, I let him pick all and didn’t scramble with him in competition.

I was now a few steps ahead of him.

Then, unexpectedly, I saw much more money (50 bank notes), and now decided to pick them too.

Surprisingly, my colleague got greedy and unkind toward me, displeased that I was now picking some money too. In fact, he was trying to block me with his body, but to no avail.

I was not one bit moved by his evil attempts against me, but continued picking more and more, as he too was picking them. However, I was fast surpassing him.

Suddenly, I saw much much more money of new, crisp 200 bank notes!

The wads of money were neatly packed in bundles as one would receive from a cashier at a bank. (But these were not bound, yet neatly packed).

My colleague didn’t see them. Discreetly and quickly, I picked them and stuffed them into my left side pocket; it was overloaded and the money was protruding. I carefully covered it with my left hand.

My wonderful amazement was difficult to conceal, but I managed to be sober.

What! What a haul!!! It was much more than enough.

I bid my colleague goodbye, saying to him in a prophetic reference to myself (regarding his aforementioned evil attempts to block me): “Remember when the Philistines persecuted Isaac? Don’t touch Isaac; he carries the promise.”

And with that parting shot, I made my way back to celebrate privately.

In short order, my eyes well up with tears of joy and thanksgiving, GREATLY amazed at The Love and Kindness and Faithfulness of GOD unto me.

Recollecting the recent days of need and communing with THE LORD, I examined myself and evaluated whether I trusted THE LORD enough in the difficulty.

I discerned that an angel came and laid the money in our path. The latter stage, especially the 200 notes, was specifically orchestrated for me.

It started drizzling as I approached the stairway to climb up back to the building complex.

A streaming group of young ladies were descending the stairs carrying large basins on their heads.

I tried to disguise my tears with the rain so that they won’t notice them.

Indeed, the rain was metaphorical: it was showers of blessing signifying the amazing BLESSING I had just been EXCEEDINGLY blessed with by THE LORD!

And then I woke up – very surprised that it was a dream! For it had felt so real – so much so that, upon waking up I lamented: “Oh LORD, it was a dream {:-)?!”

I have since been FERVENTLY PRAYING it into manifestation. (What GOD reveals must be prayed about as led by THE HOLY SPIRIT.)

Interpretation:

The Daniel 9:9 and 9:10 references, although neither about “the former and latter rain” nor “times and seasons”, were a Divine Genius instruction by THE HOLY SPIRIT to fast and pray the Daniel 9 repentance, prayers and supplications to clear the way for GOD to bless us with the former and the latter rain in this time and season.

Yes, “the times of restoration of all things”! (Acts 3:19-21).

No wonder the rain at the end — noting that The Blessing at this time will wipe away every tear from our eyes.

The misbehaviour of the work colleague represents fellow workers in THE LORD’s Harvest who have persecuted us with unthinkable and imaginable wickedness after our kindness to them, just as the Philistines did to Isaac until he was blessed with the well of Beersheba by THE LORD.

(I have had an excruciating share of them: fellow workers going rogue.)

Verse 15 of Joel 2 says to “Blow the trumpet…”. The Feast of Trumpets (Leviticus 23: 23 -25; 1 Thessalonians 4:16), popularly called Rosh Hashanah, starts at sunset on 6^th September and ends at sunset 8^th September.

These next days and weeks constitute a most critical period to repent like Daniel, to wrestle with GOD like Jacob, to face the wall and cry out to GOD like Hezekiah, and to weep in fervent prayer like our LORD JESUS CHRIST Himself, “Who, in the days of His Flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him Who was able to save Him from death [resurrect Him], and was heard because of His GODly fear,” (Hebrews 5:7).

Our call is to know our GOD and His Ways and always obey by The Help of THE HOLY SPIRIT.

One of GOD’s Ways is His desire for His children to weep, yes, CRY OUT to Him for His Mercy and intervention.

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST Himself demonstrated this in Gethsemane on the night He was arrested to release us from bondage (imprisonment) of the devil.

“Those who sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, bound in affliction and irons — because they rebelled against The Words of GOD, and despised The Counsel of THE MOST HIGH, therefore He brought down their heart with labor; they fell down, and there was none to help. Then they cried out to THE LORD in their trouble, and He saved them out of their distresses. He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their chains in pieces. Oh, that men would give thanks to THE LORD for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men! For He has broken the gates of bronze, and cut the bars of iron in two.” Psalm 107:10-16.

We must cry out to THE LORD to move for us according to The Word of The Oath by THE LORD (GOD our FATHER) Who has sworn and will not relent in having THE LORD JESUS CHRIST as our High Priest forever..

“And inasmuch as He was not made priest without an Oath (for they have become priests without an Oath, but He with an Oath by Him Who said to Him: “THE LORD has sworn And will not relent, ‘You are a Priest forever According to The Order of Melchizedek’ ”), by so much more JESUS has become a Surety of a Better Covenant. Also there were many priests, because they were prevented by death from continuing. But He, because He continues forever, has an Unchangeable Priesthood. Therefore He is also able to save to the uttermost those who come to GOD through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. For such a High Priest was fitting for us, Who is holy, innocent, undefiled, separate from sinners, and has become higher than the heavens; Who does not need daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifices, first for His own sins and then for the people’s, for this He did once for all when He offered up Himself. For the law appoints as high priests men who have weakness, but The Word of The Oath, which came after the law, appoints THE SON Who has been perfected forever.” Hebrews 7:20-28 emphasis added.

THE LORD JESUS CHRIST cannot fail to honour His Oath of Office to do for us what He has promised. He is EVER FAITHFUL, NEVER-FAILING. Hallelu-YAH!

Therefore, we must NOT fear, doubt or fall into unbelief.

“Beware, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in departing from The Living GOD; but exhort one another daily, while it is called “Today,” lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we have become partakers of CHRIST if we hold the beginning of our confidence steadfast to the end, while it is said: “Today, if you will hear His Voice, do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion.” For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His Rest, but to those who did not obey? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.” Hebrews 3:12-19.

Faith in GOD has GREAT reward. Use your faith and get great reward right here right now and in the age to come.

“Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done The Will of GOD, you may receive the promise,” Hebrews 10:35-36.

An email from a brother (far, far away in another country) is indicative of what is happening spiritually at the moment. (He was updating me on a ministry situation I had emailed him about):

“Hi Jacob,
Got it and fixed it.
However I have been stopped 2x by Gmail as I tried to reply to you. This is 3rd…..”

After reading the email I had a knowing that THE HOLY SPIRIT was alerting me to what the enemy is doing in this hour: DESPERATELY hindering our delivery from Heaven.

This was what happened with Daniel’s answered prayer; and it took his persistent, continual prayers to cause Heaven to send in Michael the archangel to intervene and release the dispatch to Daniel.

Therefore, we must continue to pray and press in. We must also ask for Divine Intervention by angels to ensure delivery of answered prayer.

“But thanks be to GOD, Who gives us The Victory through our LORD JESUS CHRIST.” 1 Corinthians 15:57.

“Now thanks be to GOD Who always leads us in Triumph in CHRIST, and through us diffuses The Fragrance of His Knowledge in every place.” 2 Corinthians 2:14.

We overcome the adversary and his hindrances by THE BLOOD OF JESUS! Amen.

Let us weep in fervent repentance, fasting and prayer so that every tear can be wiped away from our eyes by our GOD.

Since men have been on the earth, there has never been a more crucial time for destinies than now.

Please see a previous Word: “The Time of Birth Has Come: PUSH! PUSH! PUSH!”
