TEACHING AND PROPHETIC ARM
Saturday – February 29, 2020, Adar 4, 5780
For the last fifty-seven weeks I have been presenting teachings under the title of “Traditions, Lies, and Truth”. Fifty is a number of the Holy Spirit but it is also the number of jubilee. These of course can go together in that when we are saved, born again, we enter a jubilee, a spiritual perfection or completion (seven). Look at this verse.
Leviticus 25:10 (KJV)
10 And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
At salvation we are set at liberty, our possessions are returned to us (we take possession by faith in love), and we are returned to the family of God. God the Father is now our Daddy and Jesus our brother, and the Holy Spirit our Helper and Teacher. Just a bit on the numerology of the Leviticus passage. Leviticus is the third book of the Old Testament and three is a number of Divine completeness. Twenty-five is a number for the forgiveness of sin. And, ten is a number for responsibility. Jesus has paid the price already for the forgiveness of our sin, they are blotted out, the only thing between us and Heaven is making Him Lord, receiving, and believing the salvation message. When Jesus paid that price our entrance into divine completeness was just a change of heart away. It was our responsibility to choose Him and when we did, it was the Father’s responsibility to quicken our dead spirit man. Isn’t it just wonderful how these things flow together?
Now back on track. The Lord seems to be leading me to break from the prior line of teaching (Traditions, Lies, and Truth) at least for now. As I do my other teachings there are opportunities to expose the traditions of men and the lies of demons both of which keep individuals, whole Churches, and denominations powerless and in defeat. If we are going to be completely honest the Church as a whole is not even close to where the Lord would have us to be and it has to do with the progressive corruption of the Word of God. In spite of this the Lord has accomplished much down through the centuries to keep the Church alive. Just like many of us have used a substitute tool to do a job for the ideal tool so has the Lord. Now, don’t give me the “oh, brother we can never be the ideal tool” line of unbelief. That very thinking is keeping millions out of the promised land. In addition, that is news to our Lord and Savior, He doesn’t know we can’t be the ideal tool.
John 14:12 (KJV)
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Are we believers or not? Why aren’t we doing the works Jesus did and the greater works?
John 3:34 (KJV)
34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.
Are we speaking the words of God or something of our own concoction, traditions of men, or doctrine of demons?
Mark 9:23 (KJV)
23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.
Is the problem that we do not believe? Is this Scripture or not? If so, if it is Scripture, let’s quit being slack, quit whining and get on with it.
A part of what I intend to do (led of the Lord) over the next several weeks is talk to you about this Ministry. How it began, a little about the history and where we are today. I am also challenging you to see if the Lord would have you be a partner with this ministry in it’s God ordained missions. There is the original and continuing arm of teaching and prophecy, and two new arms. We have recently established a Sabbatical Moments arm which reaches out to discouraged pastors and spouses. The third arm is the Conference Arm and that arm is in the process of bringing a first-class Women’s Conference to fruition the 30th of May 2020. We have chosen to name these various divisions of ministry arms because in Scripture the word “arm” as in the “arm of the Lord” is referring to power. Each one of these ministry arms will bring the power of God into people’s lives if allowed. Many of you reading this blog know me and have some insight into my history. In the coming weeks as the Lord leads, I will share our history, personal and ministerial.
Until our next publication, as a Bible Teacher and Prophetic Voice I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus name! Quit asking God to bless you, you are already blessed, you have the Blessing, give Him something to do by the words of your mouth. Once you know the will of God, decree the thing (Job 22:28, Isaiah 45:11, Mark 11:23). (The Blessing is the Holy Spirit) We have left God way to long with nothing to do in our lives.
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
