66. A CALL TO ACT

Rhetoric on Olympic Games disgrace

A CALL TO ACT

Let us get involved through prayers and living actions… as Christians out there…

-:To portrait and declare the

GLORY,
GOODNESS,
REDEMPTIVE POWER OF GOD’S LOVE,

To advocate HIS JUSTICE & EMINENT JUDGMENT on this world, HIS SOVEREIGNTY, HOLINESS, and SANCTITY, ETERNAL REDEMPTION,
FORGIVENESS of SIN, SALVATION by FAITH, & GLORIOUS GRACE.

To those who will adhere to His call and allow Him to enfold them in His mercy – to RECEIVE from Him eternal life.

To accept His faith by grace and
Be WASHED in the Blood of the Lamb
To receive total forgiveness of sin by FAITH in the LORD, JESUS CHRIST of Nazareth.

He is the only way to God and the SOLE REDEEMER of this broken world.

It is the SET TIME…

BY the HOLY SPIRIT only, for the GOOD NEWS MESSAGE to BE AMPLIFIED penetrating into the hearts of this world.

SCRIPTURE READING:

Hebrews 10:9-10, 19-20, 23-24, 29, 31, 35-36, 38-39 NKJV

[9] then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second.
[10] By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
[19] Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,
[20] by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh,

[23] Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.
[24] And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works,

[29] Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

[31] It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

[35] Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward.
[36] For you have need of endurance, so that after you have done the will of God, you may receive the promise:

[38] Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.”
[39] But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul.

Amen and amen.

May our God keep, guide, protect, and grace you with all His riches in His glory in this hour and time.

You are much valued and appreciated in your office of prayer and intercession.

Rhetoric on Olympic Games 24

PRAYER MARATHON

CLOTHED IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

By Eunice Combrink

The word speaks a lot of being clothed. Friday I saw our pastor and other leaders are having a conference with that subject.

The Olympic opening ceremony was clothed in the LGTBQ and Anti-Christ agenda. A picture tells a thousand words. This was supposedly family viewing. Using children in scenes that is defiling. Seeds sown in hearts that can be very receptive. Embracing the ‘Woke’ ideology. No gender, no boundaries, no morals, freedom to be whatever, embracing visuals of what the world must walk in.

We know we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers and rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places Eph.6.12.

This is a global agenda trying to impact all, even our children. SA is following suit by passing laws and opening the doors to ideologies that can be enforced upon us. Paving the way to a One world order as Revelation prophesies.

The Olympics had a twisting of the Last Supper with transvestites, ending with an electronic horse running on water, with a faceless person. Statements made such as the River, The Seine, is our protector, healer, etc.

Evil wants to cover us like a wave.

BUT THE EARTH WILL BE COVERED WITH THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE GLORY OF THE LORD AS THE WATERS COVER THE SEA

Hab2:14

No longer can we be silent or passive. We will pray against evil invading our nation and the world & we will pray against domination and control of the world’s evil agendas. We pray against laws supporting ideologies apposing Godly standards and our freedom to make choices about our children, sexual education, health, what may be preached in churches, who may enter our homes, land ownership, etc.

The good news is, Christians are being awakened and standing up. See the video. France has a Christian voice. The Olympic Committee had to apologize for their portayal of The Last Supper. We will stand for righteousness.

God will soon POUR OUT HIS SPIRIT upon this earth UNEQUALLED TO ANY FORMER REVIVAL. Come Spirit of God flood the earth with Your light and glory. We pray clothe the nations in salvation, in righteousness and in truth. Cover us with Your banner of love. We pray a revelation of Godly identity and worth to every blood bought soul on this earth.

The enemy’s strategy has been played out for all to see. Enlighten the eyes of the understanding to see the spirit of evil. To rise up against it. To stand. To draw a line. Cover us with Your armour of protection. We raise the sword of Your word against this evil attack against morality and Godliness.

We declare every knee will bow before Your Lordship. The earth is Yours and the fullness there of. The nations are Your inheritance. Draw every lost soul to You with cords of love. Holy Spirit convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment Jo16:8

We declare Light dispels darkness. Victory is Yours.

Blessings

A. INTRODUCTION – Week 6 – No. 6 = MAN

Week 6 – The number 6 in Scripture relates to the number of MAN.
MAN: – Flesh & humanity (Gen1:27-31, Rev13:18)
– Divine influence upon the heart, its reflections in life:- benefit, favour.

In Revelation 13:2 the number of ‘man’ also relates to 666, the unholy triad of Satan’s dominion or authority(b): the Dragon, False Prophet & the number of the Beast (a hybrid of 3 creatures)… with the mouth(a) like of a lion.

It relates to false & fatal worship, a fortified idolatrous mind-set of the entire world culture… Indoctrination, power, & an imprinted numerical automated etching system – the mark, branding through a serious of blackmail & bribery of a consolidated world system… (1)

Interesting the “great authority” that’s given to the beast refers to a mouth which relates to MEDIA > words, writings, spoken, broadcast, heard, seen… > all forms of media, sound, performance, visual display of strength, ability & power (arts & sports)… >>!

(a) Mouth G4750 – language and its relations. [Cut, repeated blows… like hacking…
Interesting its relation to the term “hacking” in cyberspace (virtual reality) crimes.]
(b) Authority G1849 – ability, privilege, force, capacity, competency, freedom, mastery, magistrate, superhuman, token of control, delegated influence, liberty, power, strength.]

[Notice: how God has brought the meaning of the gate numbers & the specific GATES & in the news together on this 7-week journey!!! To our God ALL the glory!!!]

1. DEFINITIONS of MEDIA, ARTS & SPORT

a) Definition of MEDIA – Media as defined in the roles it plays :

• In society: to educate, inform & entertain. (2)
• Collectively – mass communication are broadcasting, publishing, and the internet. (3)
• In Media it comprises of news, art, educational content, any form of information that can reach / influence people; television, radio, books, magazines, internet. (4)
• In communication: media are the outlets or tools used to store & deliver content” (5)

b) Definition of ARTS

“The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power. (6) There are various branches of creative activity, such as painting, music, literature, and dance, “the visual arts”.

c) Definition of SPORTS

“An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.” (6)

2. PERSPECTIVE relating to Media, Arts & Sport in the world today

It relates to our 5 senses, our emotional soul dimension, the physical & intellectual perceptiveness amongst many other inclinations & dispositions.

Behind every broadcast, song, lyric, artwork, show, or production is a message or meaning to be perceived, information translated and a spirit (inclination) motive.

a) SYMBOLISM, IMPRESSION & EXPRESSIONS

A lot of imagery, symbolism (representation of something, metaphors, parables) pertaining to all arenas of life are involved in all three of these spheres…

Publishing uses therefore a lot of symbolic externalization & expression to convey ideas, ideologies, impressions to communicate in that way messages that is either right there in front of our eyes our hidden messages that only a few who know about it will catch or understand.

Through these different forms of arts & sports we also enjoy the display of the beauty, wonders & great nuances of this life we have the privilege to enjoy living here on earth. Christians, through all the years have also passionately made use of these platforms & stages to amplify the words, wonders & ways of the great God we serve!

Media, Sports & Art all involves admiration, honouring, appreciation & heroic worship. These are the exact attributes that we as worshippers of the Most High God – El Elyon, ascribes to Him in awe & reverential worship & wonder of our God.

The following concepts come to mind as we meditate on this… : interactive communication & actualization of knowledge, ability, creativity & demonstration, persistence & passion, perceptions & perceiving, symbolic impressions, knowledge of strengths & weaknesses, trial & error, tested & tried, emotional & mental strength(mindset), belief and doubt in ability, defeat, and failure, sacrifices and success, victory & crowns.

b) MEDIA – “learn from YESTERDAY’s story wisdom for tomorrow”

MEDIA pertains to communication, mouth, words, writings, speech, language, dialect, lingo, dialogue, idioms, to speak, teach, translation(versions, paraphrase), interpretation of, educate & visual display.

c) ARTS – “for the FUTURE in remembrance of the past”

Pertains to demonstration, portrayal, portrait, image, sculpture, impressive displays.
It tells the story of life by incorporating the most illustrious God given means, gifts & talents.

d) SPORTS – “past performance tested in the NOW”

Incorporates execution through inherent God given talents & ability. It requires endurance, perseverance, repetitive exercise, a battle between spirit, soul & body, a crown of victory, power, strength, overcoming, vigour, and the best performance displayed on the day.

e) THE GLOBAL STAGE

The world’s stages of media, arts & sports have become the global canvas on which the media not only share reality, but also portraits, display & communicate the political agendas & rhetoric of world leaders that is unfortunately congested with misleading & manipulative speech. It is purposefully embroidered to steer the world in a certain direction of which we have ample information about in the Scriptures indicating this very path the world is on right now, towards an end clearly communicated to us in the Bible.

These platforms and arenas have also been captured to display, with great exuberance the cavalcades, parades & exotic exhibitions of this age choreographed and impelled with the hidden agendas of the world lite, out in the open for all humanity to watch on the worldwide public stages … for those who have their eyes opened to see.

One astounding example of this is the recent opening of the Commonwealth Games in Bellingham, UK of 2022. https://youtu.be/PS1FhXbbZYM?si=g2NBBRqMbjdoqdOB

B. STRATEGIC PRAYERS

3. THANKSGIVING for redeeming us – back into the image of His Christ

4. PRAISE & ADORATION – to God the greatest Artist & for His Word

5. COMMUNION – Repentance & prayers for protection

Isa 53:5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.

6. PERSONAL & IDENTIFICATIONAL REPENTANCE

We live in an era of utter unholiness and idolatry of anything that man can think off. Overwhelmed with expressions of godlessness, openly turning into the era of Baal worship – Lucifer himself and everything relating.

• Repent for all the unholiness in society displayed though the media, arts & sports and pray for Gods redemptive purpose to prevail.
• Repent for the Body of Christ and many believers’ apathy towards worldliness. Believers… often do not know, realize, or rather choose to ignore these very contentious topics or issues to rather keep the peace & harmony.

Rom 2:4 Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

• Pray for the church to rise up & take hold of the “horns of the altar in fervent prayers, eyes on Jesus in Spirit & Truth – working out our salvation with fear & trembling…
• Pray for a “FAITH-RELEASED-CONVICTION” – we CAN DO SOMETHING about this through our prayers, worship & devotion to the only true God of all of creation.
All of creation will one day bow their knees & confess that He is Lord…

Even Satan, himself is still bound to that decree!
The spirit of Lucifer, [now a fallen angel, who was one of God’s angels responsible for worship in the heavenlies] – rules on earth through the flesh and is influential in all social arenas of life whatever form of communication, impression, art or media/medium.
Especially where speech, art, music and lyrics have not been purposed to be for the honour of God in essence. [Eze 28:1-19]

• Pray the spirit of prophecy & worship of the true God will be released over the earth

Mat 4:10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written,
‘YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND HIM ONLY YOU SHALL SERVE.’ “

2Co 3:14-18
(14) But their minds were blinded. (15) – a veil lies on their heart.
(16) Nevertheless, when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away.
(17) Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.
(18) But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

7. TOPICAL PRAYERS : Media, Arts & Sports (M,A,S)
SPORT, MEDIA & ARTS’s symbolism in the spiritual realm to bring SIGNIFICANCE

• Pray for : SPIRITUAL “SPORTSMANSHIP”

Perseverance to receive a victor’s crown, run the race of life, overcome the struggle, trials, battle of the mind. Fight the good fight. Have faith. To be tested & not found wanting or faint-hearted, nor have feeble knees, or shaky hands… BUT to stand!

Act 20:24 But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my race with joy, …to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

• Pray for : SPIRITUALLY endowed MEDIA communication & relations.

That the words of my mouth & meditations of my heart to be pleasing to God – my audience of ONE. Pray for a tamed tongue to speak words of peace, delight, grace, love to others.

Jas 3:9-10
(9) With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. (10) Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.

• Pray for : A SPIRITUAL DISPLAY (art) of His glory & honor to fill the earth.

To be His voice & hands to a lost world, speaking TRUTH INTO POWER!
We are called to sound the alarm of His coming Majesty! Display His glory & beauty!

Hab 2:2-4
(2) “Write the vision And make it plain on tablets, That he may run who reads it.
(3) For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry.
(4) “Behold the proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his faith.

• Pray for God’s justice & judgement of all unrighteousness to convict people of the abominations of their futile worship of all “idols”/sorts of idolatry.

Rom 1:18-23
(18) For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,
(19) because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. (20) so that they are without excuse,
(21) because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.
(22) Professing to be wise, they became fools, (23) and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

• Pray for MEDIA-IN-TRUTH to infiltrate all areas of social society and discernment through the fear and reverential awe of God.

We have been called to LIVE BY FAITH. Therefore, NOT to get phased by anything we see, hear or witness that is CONTRARY to the word of God…

The MEDIA are filled with many LIES – often so blatantly thrown into our socio existence sphere that we deliberately have to apply our faith dimension’s convictions’ to shun these displays from our thoughts, minds & belief orientations.

Jas 1:16-18
(16) Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.
(17) Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above,

8. MEDIA, ARTS & SPORT – WHAT are these spheres all about?

It is about impartation, displaying & demonstration of knowledge, beauty & strength

God initiated this – in His sovereign power showed forth His sole mandate on creation through many exotic prophetic displays of which the following is one symbol thereof.
Jos 3:11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is crossing over before you into the Jordan…. “The wind & waters obeyed Him & bowed to His majesty…”

• Pray for God to show Himself creditable AGAIN to the world – those who can “to see”
• Pray that the power of GOD will be noticed – all who are in defiant, rebellious allegiance to the worship of mere human muscle-shows of brick and mortar, steel & the sound of clanging cymbals. [SEE – Commonwealth Games in Birmingham 2022 –that demonstrated the world in returning to Baal worship ….]

9. HUMANITY’S SEARCH FOR GOD – the image (that part) of God within

All of mankind seeks to enter into the Holy of Holies, where all questions & answers, longing for worth and significance will be appeased in the Presence of the One Who started it all. Who will consummate all things in His Christ, for His eternal purpose & reign.

This is the great quest of all humanity – TO FIND GOD, the cause of God & the cause of God with humanity.

Humanity yearns to connect with something intrinsically greater than us, that can give greater meaning to life & our being here. A never-ending quest for God & to discover why I was created… resulting in the question, “What to do? What to do with my days & hours, talents & search for self-realization, …for glory!?!

• Pray for SALVATIONS through these platforms. Man’s search for God will end up finding Him in all these many things of earthly privileges, they keep themselves busy with.
Heb 10:19-22
(19) having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,
(20) by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil
(22) draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, sprinkled from an evil conscience

10. THE REDEEMED PURPOSE OF : OWN DECLARATION PRAYERS….

• PRAY & confess the words of Christ, the prophecies & promises… the warnings, statutes & disciplines of God to be taught now even more on the stages of this world.

WORSHIPPERS /INDUSTRY – to LIVE their God-purpose to broken world
• Sing- “Lift your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face, for the things of this world will grow strangely dim, in the light of His glory & grace.”
• Pray for our children’s – their “eyes & ears” will be sanctified to hate is evil & love what is good – drawn towards the worship of the only One worthy of all our PRAISE!

VOICE of the GOD – to go forth with BOLDNESS
• Pray that the VOICE of the Church be amplified to stir up transformation in the streets, marketplace, school, houses, every area of society… change the atmosphere!

ENTERTAINERS – to discover their God ordained purposes in this hour
Joh 17:17 Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.
• Pray that the DECEPTIVE attraction that entertainment has, through music, arts & sports, will found its purpose in giving God the glory while also enjoying it.
• Pray that the TRUTH Lord will be released… to sanctify us… and keep us separated in spirit from the perverse spirit of idolatry…in His UTMOST truth & COUNSEL.

MEDIA – to be used for the EQUIPPING of the world with God’s truths
• Pray that the Word of God will gain increased pre-eminence (2Tim3;16-18)
• Pray for Believers to discern, pray, discuss, act on what is right & wrong.
Mal 3:16-18
(16) 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. (18) you shall again discern Between the righteous, the wicked, Between one who serves God…who does not serve Him.

SPOKESMEN – all media & artists are spokesmen for the Lord OR Satan…
• Pray that every word, note, paintbrush stroke or broadcast will send out a message to challenge, convict or stir the hearts & emotions of men with a specific God-message,
• Pray God’s design for all forms of MEDIA to used for His glory & worship!
• REPENT for the ways that man has diverted from our original assignment to be a people given to worship of and the proclamation of His honor & glory.

Joh 3:31-36
(34) For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give the Spirit by measure.
(36) who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him.”

ARTS/ISTS – those to SHOW-CASE the GOSPEL to the world with excellence & turn the atmosphere in towns, cities & in Ruler’s hearts

Isa 62:1-3

(1) For Zion’s sake I will not hold My peace, for Jerusalem/SOUTH AFRICA!, I will not rest, Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, And her salvation as a lamp that burns.
(2) The Gentiles shall see your righteousness, And all kings your glory. You shall be called by a new name, Which the mouth of the LORD will name. (3) You shall also be a crown of glory In the hand of the LORD, And a royal diadem In the hand of your God.
Isa 40:18-20, Exo 35:25-26, 31-32

Dan 1:17 God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; dreams, visions
• PRAY Holy Spirit’s manifested presence, through visitations, dreams, visions, … people will realize He is real, He is here. Yehovah Shamah! Christ is the Son
• Pray that the VOICE OF THE REMNANT will BE HEARD from the world stages crying our & longing for His glory to be made known to all of the earth!
• Pray that Christian film & performance industry to be strengthened to continue & be protected to be able to continue their missions from God.

Zec 8:12 ‘For the seed shall be prosperous, The vine shall give its fruit, The ground shall give her increase, And the heavens shall give their dew—I will cause the remnant of this people To possess all these.

CRAFTSMEN

• PRAY that the worship of the false god mammon and things will be unseated from its throne & exposed as of man settled in worldly fame involved in

(17) Prays to it and says, “Deliver me, for you are my god!”

11. PRAYERS for S.A. / THE WORLD IN JEOPARDY

Nature itself displays the glory of God… if we don’t… the stones and trees will resound with the worship of God. The sun, wind, waters, & thunder, fire & earthquakes shows off His majesty & magnificence. But man forgets quickly…Deut 4, Is 64:1-3, Ps74:13-17.
We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. 1Jn 5:19

PRAYERS FOR SOUTH AFRICA

• Pray that the believers EYES will be opened to SEE the victories of God in this nation…

35. BEING SET APART / CONSECRATED / SANCTIFIED

We are being set apart, consecrated and sanctified:-

1. Firstly by HIS EXTREME LOVE for US

IN this blog we are doing a brief study from scripture on the principles of being set apart, consecrated and sanctified. If we look at PALAH, the Hebrew word for being “set apart” the following descriptions are linked to this word. PALAH stands for ‘to be distinguished’, ‘to be shown to be marvelous’, ‘to be separated’, ‘severed’ and ‘to be made wonderfully‘.

Luk 15:7

(7)  I say to you that likewise there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance.

Luk 15:21-24

(21)  And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’

(22)  “But the father said to his servants, ‘Bring out the best robe(anointing) and put it on him, and put a ring(covenant) on his hand and sandals(calling) on his feet.

(23)  And bring the fatted calf(abundant provision) here and kill it (by Christ’s sacrifice), and let us eat and be merry(joy of the Lord-our strength);

(24)  for this my son was dead and is alive again; he was lost(destroyed, perish, marred, die) and is found(find, get, obtain, perceive, see).’ And they began to be merry.

2Ch 16:9 

For the eyes of the LORD run to and for throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal(full, just, made ready, peaceable, perfect, quiet, whole, complete) to Him.

2. WE ARE SET APART TO FULFILL GOD’S PURPOSES AND PLAN; TO UNITE IN HIS PURPOSE

Psa 4:3  But know that the LORD has set apart (PALAH; to distinguish, show to be marvelous, separate, sever, make wonderfully) for Himself him who is godly; The LORD will hear when I call to Him.

Exo 28:3  So you shall speak to all who are gifted artisans, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron’s garments, to consecrate (KAWDASH; to be/pronounced/observed to be clean, purify, sanctify, keep holy, proclaim) him, that he may minister to Me as priest.

Jer 29:11-14

(11)  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of PEACE (well, safe, happy, friendly, favor, prosperity, safe at mind, full, wholly, welfare, rest, health, perfect, salute) and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.

(12)  Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

(13)  And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.

(14)  I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity; I will gather you from all the nations and from all the places where I have driven you, says the LORD, and I will bring you to the place from which I cause you to be carried away captive.

Php 1:6  being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; 

Php 1:10-11

(10)  that you may approve the things that are excellent, that you may be sincere and without offense till the day of Christ,

(11)  being filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

3. WE ARE SET APART TO MINISTER UNTO THE LORD

WE come to the Lord to offer a sacrifice on the altar by fire. The offering we bring to the altar is ourselves. We are called by the Lord to bring ourselves as a living sacrifice. This means that we lay down our lives and this presents a sweet smell to the Lord. As the bread is pleasing to our pallets, just the same is our consecration a sweet smell to our Father.

Exo 28:41  So you shall put them on Aaron your brother and on his sons with him. You shall anoint them, consecrate them, and sanctify them, that they may minister to Me as priests.

Lev 20:7  Consecrate yourselves therefore, and be holy, for I am the LORD your God.

Lev 21:6  They shall be holy to their God and not profane the name of their God, for they offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire, and the bread of their God; therefore they shall be holy. 

Lev 21:8  Therefore you shall consecrate him, for he offers the bread of your God. He shall be holy to you, for I the LORD, who sanctify you, am holy.

John Gill: “and the bread of their God do they offer; the shew-bread, which they set every week before the Lord on the shew-bread table, …, the “minchah”, which they continually offered along with the sacrifices: or the word “and”, being a supplement, may be left out; and so this clause is put by way of apposition, and as interpreting the fire offering to be the bread of their God, which being wholly burnt on the altar, and devoted to God, was his meat and food, and accepted by him, see Lev 3:11,” FOOD:(battle, overcome, make war, prevail)

Therefore they shall be holy; separate from all others, and abstain from all impurity both of flesh and spirit, from all uncleanness, moral and ceremonial; it being highly fit and proper that the bread of God should be offered by holy persons.

But God would not permit the blood, that made atonement, to be used as a common thing (Heb 10:29), nor will he allow us, though we have the comfort of the atonement made, to assume to ourselves any share in the honor of making it. He that glories, let him glory in the Lord, and to his praise let all the blood be poured out.

John Gill’s Exposition of the Entire Bible

Lev 3:16 the priest shall burn them on the altar as food, offered by fire, for a sweet and satisfying fragrance. All the fat is the Lord’s.

1Ch 15:12  He said to them, “You are the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, that you may bring up the ark ( presence) of the LORD God of Israel to the place I have prepared for it.

4. WE ARE SET APART TO PURIFY AND CONSECRATE ONE SELF

IN YOUR WOUNDEDNESS and AFFLICTION / SICKNESS & DISEASE

– An example of being set apart, consecration and sanctification is when A BABY BOY is being circumcised on the eight day

– A LADY AFTER CHILDBIRTH and IMPURITY has to sanctify herself

Exo 13:2  “Consecrate to Me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is Mine.”

Exo 19:10  Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their clothes.

Jos 7:13  Get up, sanctify the people, and say, ‘Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, because thus says the LORD God of Israel: “There is an accursed thing in your midst, O Israel; you cannot stand before your enemies until you take away the accursed thing from among you.

5. WE ARE SET APART AND CONSECRATED FOR WAR AND AT SPECIAL OCCASIONS

Jdg 7:5  So he brought the people down to the water. And the LORD said to Gideon, “Everyone who laps from the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set apart by himself; likewise everyone who gets down on his knees to drink.

Joe 2:13-17 

13 So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the LORD your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm. 

14  Who knows if He will turn and relent, And leave a blessing behind Him—A grain offering and a drink offering For the LORD your God? 

15  Blow the trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly; 

16  Gather the people, Sanctify the congregation, Assemble the elders, Gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, And the bride from her dressing room. 

17  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?’ ” 

Mic 4:13  “Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; For I will make your horn iron, And I will make your hooves bronze; You shall beat in pieces many peoples; I will consecrate their gain to the LORD, And their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.”

Jos 3:5  And Joshua said to the people, “Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you.”

New King James Bible

6. GOD SANCTIFIES HIS OWN NAME and SETS US APART FOR HIS NAMES’ SAKE

I Will Put My Spirit Within You

Eze 36:22-27

22  “Therefore say to the house of Israel, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD: “I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for My holy name’s sake, which you have profaned among the nations wherever you went. 

23  And I will sanctify My great name, which has been profaned among the nations, which you have profaned in their midst; and the nations shall know that I am the LORD,” says the Lord GOD, “when I am hallowed in you before their eyes. 

24  For I will take you from among the nations, gather you out of all countries, and bring you into your own land. 

25  Then I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean; I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols. 

26  I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. 

27  I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My judgments and do them. 

7. JESUS’S PRAYER TO THE FATHER TO SANCTIFY US – FOR US TO BE ABLE TO MINISTER & LIVE BY HIM; WHO IS THE TRUTH

Joh 17:17-19

(17)  Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

(18)  As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

(19)  And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.

Heb 10:29 Welcomed into His presence by the Blood

(29)  Of how much worse punishment, do you suppose, will he be thought worthy who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, counted the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified a common thing, and insulted the Spirit of grace?

8. WE ARE ENCOURAGED TO START FULFILLING OUR LIFE’S PURPOSE BY LOVING GOD FIRST & OURSELVES IN ORDER THAT WE CAN LOVE OTHERS

Mat 22:37-40

(37)  Jesus said to him, ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’

(38)  This is the first and great commandment.

(39)  And the second is like it: ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’

(40)  On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

9. WE ARE SET APART IN OUR OWN ‘DYING TO SELF’; TO RISE UP THROUGH REBIRTH IN FAITH UNTO LIFE

1Th 5:23  Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Heb 13:12-14

(12)  Therefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered outside the gate.

(13)  Therefore let us go forth to Him, outside the camp, bearing His reproach.

(14)  For here we have no continuing city, but we seek the one to come.

10. WE ARE SET APART IN OUR DAILY MISSION

GO AND DO WHAT GOD HAS CALLED YOU TO DO TODAY. ONLY YOU CAN PERFORM THAT TASK

HEBREWS 13:15-16

(15)  Therefore by Him let us continually offer the sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of our lips, giving thanks to His name.

(16)  But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.

:20-21

(20)  Now may the God of peace who brought up our Lord Jesus from the dead, that great Shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,

(21)  make you complete in every good work to do His will, working in you what is well pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.

:19-24

(19)  Therefore, brethren, having boldness to enter the Holiest by the blood of Jesus,

(20)  by a new and living way which He consecrated for us, through the veil, that is, His flesh, (21)  and having a High Priest over the house of God,

(22)  let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

(23)  Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful.

(24)  And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works.

19. THE VOICE of the Church has been SILENCED and is STRICKEN INEFFECTIVE.

SIGNGS & WONDERS through the Church

NOW IS THE TIME TO CORRECT THIS GRIEVOUS SIN AGAINST THE  VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT!!!

THE CHURCH CANNOT EFFECTIVELY RISE UP WITH ONE VOICE AND BOLD AUTHORITY AGAINST CRIME, MURDER AND ANARCHY;  EVEN OUR TESTIMONIES ARE BEING SILENCED.  HEALING from sickness and disease are diminished in the physical & spirit BECAUSE THE BODY IS DIVIDED AND TOOTHLESS… THE REASON BE…

the testimony of christ

THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST HAS BEEN THWARTED by the very vehicle GOD Instituted to release it.

This is done in exchange for human abilities, human wisdom and fleshly councils, carnal experiences, insight and the satisfying of carnal minded, soul dimension demands and human good ideas can be voiced.

■ IF WE REJECT THE TESTIMONY OF CHRIST WE ALSO REJECT THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. THEREFORE WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO RELEASE THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY; WHO is CHRIST HIMSELF!

DON’T NOT BE FOOLED.

IF THE 5 FOLD IS NOT OPERATIONAL IN our CORPORATE FAITH EXPERIENCE, CHURCH, MINISTRY then we HAVE NOT YET EMBRACED THE FULL TESTIMONY OF CHRIST.

The church and His people are therefore loosing out and are compromised in their understanding of Who Christ is and how He designed the church to function.

We are therefore experiencing a DISABLED CHRIST TESTIMONY and are a DIS-FUNCTIONAL Body. WE ARE then TEACHING HALF THE TRUTH.
_____________________________________________________________

the prophetic voice

Is the prophetic voice in SA paralyzed?

Is it kept in this state, along with Prophetic callings being assassinated in the spirit, by the spirit of Jezebel? Or is it kept in this place by controlling spirits functioning through the religious spirit under the banner of order, excellence and/or effective leadership?

“The leading of the Holy Spirit has NO chance”; seeing that we apparently  don’t need Him most of the time. We are so effective on our own in serving Him, which we then do on His behalf. In our ZEAL for God, jam-packed, full of ideas and self we run into the trap of the religious spirit. This spirit motivates our actions through the satisfaction of doing things right and gratifies by the ticking of boxes and well done stickers, instead of just following the Holy Spirit’s lead.

The time is now, that we should have a look at the church – under the demonic influence of Jezebel – afresh.  Where the church functions under the spirit of a smothering control, we should understand the full impact of our decisions, attitudes and behavior. This spirit has the paralysis of the EFFECTIVE VOICE of the church in its agenda, using God fearing people.

We need CHRIST’S TESTIMONY to be released  through the Holy Spirit only.

The church’s VOICE is SILENT and ineffective because of self idolatry and narrow vision… THEREFORE it is SHALLOW AND WITHOUT AUTHORITY.

We often rely on fleshly achievements and do not operate & serve God’s people in the authoritative power of the Holy Spirit’s sent missions in and for His glory by His Spirit.

THE CHRISTIAN GIANT

The churches should be leading the way in each town and in different spheres of society.

The Christian Giant should now rise up and make a stand and take the lead and create the future of this nation. This is done by our Words of Prophetic Vision, Insight and Revelation through the weapons of His Blood and Spirit authority.

WE CANNOT DENY HALF OF CHRIST.

As long as we cling to our own thrones, crowns and narrow platforms, we cannot embrace the 5 FOLD MINISTRY GIFTS of JESUS CHRIST; WHO IS CHRIST IN EARTHLY VESSELS.

The church are heading for burned down, empty “temples” and a Bride that has sinned by missing her calling in preparing for her BRIDEGROOM. 

A Bride defiled and robbed of Divine impartation. Who has violated her purpose and aborted her mission because she REJECTED Christ in ALL that He is and therefore is WITHOUT HIS DIVINE STRENGTH in HIS DIVINE MISSION.

The churches are full of tired “temples” without VISION or HOPE because the VOICE of our HOLY SPIRIT LORD – The “RUACH” of our GOD, has been replaced by human voices. This is then A BRIDE without her beauty and glory.

THE EARTH CRIES OUT

The whole earth cries out for the release of the sons & daughters of the Most High God – El Elyon.

Our King is coming and we are still rejecting the 5 Fold fullness of Christ’s  Redemptive perfect structure for the church.  We are still quarreling over selfish and self centered opinions.

The testimony of Christ is the spirit of prophecy.

The Prophetic voice is the Holy Spirit’s Testimony of Christ.

Anything else could be our own, mere human carnal mind and words, covered up in white religious, pretentious paint.
Without revelation we are merely running a religious carnally glamoured institution.

Woe to us!

Woe to the one who misleads any of these… His children
Woe to a failing church because of lust after power, coveting, pride, earthly honor, position and the power to control…..

WE HUMBLE OURSELVES..

WE REPENT OF OUR SINS LORD
