Message notes for Friday, January 15th, 2016:


We Are Becoming Vitally United Into Him



His Word- His Voice- speaks and causes us to become clean, and also joins us to Him as we receive it by faith:

John 15:1 I am the True Vine, and My Father is the Vinedresser. Any branch in Me that does not bear fruit [that stops bearing] He cuts away (trims off, takes away); and He cleanses and repeatedly prunes every branch that continues to bear fruit, to make it bear more and richer and more excellent fruit. You are cleansed and pruned already, because of the word which I have given you [the teachings I have discussed with you]. Dwell in Me, and I will dwell in you. [Live in Me, and I will live in you.] Just as no branch can bear fruit of itself without abiding in (being vitally united to) the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in Me. I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever lives in Me and I in him bears much (abundant) fruit. However, apart from Me [cut off from vital union with Me] you can do nothing. If a person does not dwell in Me, he is thrown out like a [broken-off] branch, and withers; such branches are gathered up and thrown into the fire, and they are burned.

Ø  EXB:     You are already ·clean [or pruned] because of the words I have spoken to you.
Ø  VOICE: already you are clean because you have heard My voice.

Ø  Rev 3:  He who is able to hear, let him listen to and heed what the [Holy] Spirit says to the assemblies (churches).

Our spiritual capacity to hear and to receive Him is left up to us to develop. God will not do this for us, but as we ask Him to enlarge our capacity to know Him, then this will also determine the degree of union that we can develop with/in Him. The more He can prune/clean us, the closer we draw to/into Him. The more we cry out to know Him, the more He will respond to us!

Ephesians 2:But God—so rich is He in His mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which He loved us, Even when we were dead (slain) by [our own] shortcomings and trespasses, He made us alive together in fellowship and in union with Christ; [He gave us the very life of Christ Himself, the same new life with which He quickened Him, for] it is by grace (His favor and mercy which you did not deserve) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation). And He raised us up together with Him and made us sit down together [giving us joint seating with Him] in the heavenly sphere [by virtue of our being] in Christ Jesus (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

There are different levels of union.

Knowing about Him
Knowing Him
Given to Him
Joined to Him
One with Him
Possessed or controlled by Him
Owned by Him
Clothed with Him

Colossians 2:For in Christ there is all of God in a human body; 10 so you have everything when you have Christ, and you are filled with God through your union with Christ. He is the highest Ruler, with authority over every other power. 11 When you came to Christ, he set you free from your evil desires, not by a bodily operation of circumcision but by a spiritual operation, the baptism of your souls.

Ø  Acts 2:And they were all filled (diffused throughout their souls) with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other (different, foreign) languages (tongues), as the Spirit kept giving them clear and loud expression [in each tongue in appropriate words].

Ø  Acts 13:52 And the disciples were continually filled [throughout their souls] with joy and the Holy Spirit.

 The Baptism of Fire purges our soul, and transforms it into union with the heart and mind of Christ, which then can conform us more into His Image and likeness.

Luke 4:1 Then Jesus, full of and controlled by the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led in [by] the [Holy] Spirit.

Romans 8:4 So that the righteous and just requirement of the Law might be fully met in us who live and move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [our lives governed not by the standards and according to the dictates of the flesh, but controlled by the Holy Spirit].

1 Corinthians 8:3 But if one loves God truly [with affectionate reverence, prompt obedience, and grateful recognition of His blessing], he is known by God [recognized as worthy of His intimacy and love, and he is owned by Him].

Galatians 3:26 For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God through faith. 27 For as many [of you] as were baptized into Christ [into a spiritual union and communion with Christ, the Anointed One, the Messiah] have put on (clothed yourselves with) Christ.

We are to be continually driving our spiritual roots down deeper into a deeper union with and in Christ.

Colossians 2:For though I am away from you in body, yet I am with you in spirit, delighted at the sight of your [standing shoulder to shoulder in such] orderly array and the firmness and the solid front and steadfastness of your faith in Christ [that leaning of the entire human personality on Him in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness]. As you have therefore received Christ, [even] Jesus the Lord, [so] walk (regulate your lives and conduct yourselves) in union with and conformity to Him. Have the roots [of your being] firmly and deeply planted [in Him, fixed and founded in Him], being continually built up in Him, becoming increasingly more confirmed and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and abounding and overflowing in it with thanksgiving.

Power flows through Union:

Ephesians 6:10 In conclusion, be strong in the Lord [be empowered through your union with Him]; draw your strength from Him [that strength which His boundless might provides].

Psalms 149:For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation and adorn the wretched with victory. Let the saints be joyful in the glory and beauty [which God confers upon them]; let them sing for joy upon their beds.

Isaiah 42:21 It was the Lord’s pleasure for His righteousness’ sake [in accordance with a steadfast and consistent purpose] to magnify instruction and revelation and glorify them.

Philippians 3:10 [For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly], and that I may in that same way come to know the power outflowing from His resurrection [which it exerts over believers], and that I may so share His sufferings as to be continually transformed [in spirit into His likeness even] to His death, [in the hope] 11 That if possible I may attain to the [spiritual and moral] resurrection [that lifts me] out from among the dead [even while in the body].

It must be our determined purpose to seek Him till He is fully found, and then to move on further until we become one with Him, so that we can become like Him, even into the Glorification Process of His Body, becoming one within us!

Go Beyond the Surface


The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; Isaiah. 61:1

Audibly God said, "I am going to send a new anointing of My Divine healing power to North America."

We have made a Spiritual breakthrough. A revelation.

The Holy Spirit gives revelation to an individual, one of God's prophets, a revelation to revolutionize the Spiritual life of the entire world.

Something is happening "in the Spirit world" of North America.

He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Matthew 16:15-19

The keys off Spiritual victory that are given to you.

Go with me now onto the Spiritual battlefield.

The New Anointing is here.

All Truth is Parallel

Man lives in two worlds a natural world and a Spiritual world.

Prophecy: "As man makes his breakthrough in the natural world, the Church of Jesus Christ on the Spiritual side will equal these breakthroughs."

Diversities

These breakthroughs will appear in many different ways.

And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. 2 Kings 6:15-17

1.The presence of God will become more real to the church of Jesus Christ than it ever was before. You and I will be in services where we will feel like we want to take our shoes from our feet because we are actually standing on such holy, consecrated ground. We will feel God’s presence in a greater way than ever before. 

2. We will see the power of God. We will see the miracle power and the healing power. Some people have the idea that the days of miracles are past. We will see a breakthrough in miracles that will exceed what the early church witnessed. This church was born in apostolic power. VIt was not born by great preaching; it was not born through great theologians. It was born in apostolic power. It will spread through apostolic power. I prophesy to you that as we get closer and closer to the coming of Jesus, the miracle power will intensify, for His church will be raptured in greater power than it was born in.

One of these waves is a wave of supernatural wisdom and a manifestation of the gift of the discerning of spirits.

Do not deal with the surface manifestations. You must deal with the root cause. When you deal with the root cause the surface manifestations will disappear.

A New View

When I was in India and the Spirit came over me, I began to travail and call out certain things by name. I began to bind them in the name of Jesus. This went on for hours.

I have done this in a of the countries of the world where God has led us. When I would be in Brazil, Korea, and in all the other places I would spend hours on my face before God. In travail I would in the name of Jesus bind these powers of the enemy-the spirits of sin, the spirits of sickness, the spirit of religion, the false cults, the spirit of idol worship, and the false prophets of Baal.

I was binding these things for hours in the Spirit. In that prayer I would be loosing the Spirit of salvation, and the Spirit of healing and then when I went out to the meeting, there was no battle to be fought. It was already done. The Spirit of salvation was upon those people, and all I had to do was make a simple approach and they were willing to receive.

You see something happened in the Spirit world, and that is what brought the flow of the miracle power-the salvation Spirit was loosed. The healing Spirit was loosed.

When that Spirit of healing is loosed in a nation, city, or community, it is limited by somebody taking you by the hand and praying, because it has nothing to do with man. It is the work of the Holy Spirit.

Susan's notes for tonights message:


“The Giant Is Awakening and Rising from the Depths of the Earth– 01-03-16”

In the vision, I see the U.S, and I see the ground slowly shaking everywhere. It was like a massive underground rumbling was unfolding, causing everything to vibrate and shake in the nation. I wondered what was causing the continent wide shaking. Then my vision zoomed in and I realized something was slowly coming up from underneath the ground.

I watched and saw something emerging in the East, and it looked like a small peak or mound. As it came forth, I realized it was not a peak at all. It was a face. It was the head of a body. Then I looked out even further, and I saw the whole body slowly came vibrating up to the surface.

The head was positioned in the East, and the feet were positioned in the West. The entire continent was now vibrating, and the people were running everywhere to get out of the way of this emerging giant, because its coming to the surface was dislodging everything that was built on top of it.

I watched the giant to see what would happen next. I could hear a heartbeat begin to sound. This heartbeat filled everything everywhere. The sound was beating in the air, and many people were running trying to plug up their ears. I saw some people turn back that had started running, and they went up to the giant and put their hands on it.

The people that had their hands on the giant were sucked right into the giant. More and more people began to draw closer and reach out to the giant. The more that came near, they too were sucked right into the giant, which caused the giant to stir even more. As the giant stirred this also caused national turmoil to erupt.

I saw military people and military machines come near, and they tried to shoot the giant that was lying on the ground. The more the military fought the giant, the louder the heartbeat got. Soon, the sound of the heartbeat was so loud that the entire nation was shaking, and the military soon fled.

Then I saw the giant open it’s eyes. Its eyes were full of burning fire. The giant looked up and then looked around, and then it turned its head and looked right at me. I was surprised. The giant then raised one arm to heaven, and it then pointed its other arm towards where I was standing.

The giant then spoke. He said to me, “The heart of this nation has already begun to beat, but God’s people are not taking their governmental seat. In order for the full resurrection to be complete, you must all arise into your seats, and into your position of full union with Him. You must all corporately begin to beat with His heartbeat.”

“The bands of death are slowly breaking, but many are weary and many of His people still question how long this process is taking. You must all see what the Father sees in order to complete your whole destiny. The full transformation process has begun, and it is awakening your nation to the reality of its true condition, but this is only the first stage of release, and you must realize it is not the full mission.”

 “The Sounds of Life from Heaven have only just begun to sound. The instruments of death in your nation are on the run. The roots and fruits of unrighteousness will no longer be alluring or fun. Righteousness’s call shall resound louder and clearer, calling the wayward to come nearer. To you who understand, you must take these ones by their hands, and help them to grow and to also fully expand.”

The Father has taken His seat within you. Through you all His Heart and His Voice shall call. It shall beat louder and louder and louder. Many will draw near to fight against Him, but they will fail, for His Love alone shall prevail. The shaking of the earth has begun. The corporate scrolls of every nation shall begin to sound their beat, and nothing can prevent their earthly assignments from becoming complete.”

“His Heart will beat violently across every land. He shall break every chain, weight, and demonic band. Nothing can prevent the release that flows from His Hand. Every enemy shall be uprooted. Life’s Beat shall increase, and shall overtake the barriers of darkness and of man. Watch, and see His Breakers sound across the lands, and the display of His Mighty Jubilee Hand expand.”

“In this New Year, it is time to run fully into Him, and to enter into Heaven’s heart flow that begins. It is time to resonate and beat with the knowledge of Him! It is time for His Life to begin! It is time for the Sleeping Giant- the Slumbering Body, to again walk supernaturally among the earth and men! The full resurrection will now begin, for it’s time to arise and bring His waiting Harvest in!”

Scriptures:

Psalms 138:6 Though the Lord is exalted, He regards the lowly [and invites them into His fellowship]; But the proud and haughty He knows from a distance. Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me. The Lord will accomplish that which concerns me;

Matthew 16:17 Then Jesus answered him, Blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are you, Simon Bar-Jonah. For flesh and blood [men] have not revealed this to you, but My Father Who is in heaven. 18 And I tell you, you are Peter [Greek, Petros—a large piece of rock], and on this rock [Greek, petra—a huge rock like Gibraltar] I will build My church, and the gates of Hades (the powers of the infernal region) shall not overpower it [or be strong to its detriment or hold out against it]. 19 I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; and whatever you bind (declare to be improper and unlawful) on earth must be what is already bound in heaven; and whatever you loose (declare lawful) on earth must be what is already loosed in heaven.

Acts 2:25 For David says in regard to Him, I saw the Lord constantly before me, for He is at my right hand that I may not be shaken or overthrown or cast down [from my secure and happy state]. 26 Therefore my heart rejoiced and my tongue exulted exceedingly; moreover, my flesh also will dwell in hope [will encamp, pitch its tent, and dwell in hope in anticipation of the resurrection].

Romans 6:We have therefore been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory and power of the Father, we too might walk habitually in newness of life [abandoning our old ways]. For if we have become one with Him [permanently united] in the likeness of His death, we will also certainly be [one with Him and share fully] in the likeness of His resurrection.

Romans 8:22 For we know that the whole creation has been moaning together as in the pains of childbirth until now. 23 And not only this, but we too, who have the first fruits of the Spirit [a joyful indication of the blessings to come], even we groan inwardly, as we wait eagerly for [the sign of] our adoption as sons—the redemption and transformation of our body [at the resurrection].

1 Corinthians 15:50 Now I say this, believers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit nor be part of the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable (mortal) inherit the imperishable (immortal). 51 Listen very carefully, I tell you a mystery [a secret truth decreed by God and previously hidden, but now revealed]; we will not all sleep [in death], but we will all be [completely] changed [wondrously transformed],

Philippians 3:and may be found in Him [believing and relying on Him], not having any righteousness of my own derived from [my obedience to] the Law and its rituals, but [possessing] that [genuine righteousness] which comes through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith. 10 And this, so that I may know Him [experientially, becoming more thoroughly acquainted with Him, understanding the remarkable wonders of His Person more completely] and [in that same way experience] the power of His resurrection [which overflows and is active in believers], and [that I may share] the fellowship of His sufferings, by being continually conformed [inwardly into His likeness even] to His death [dying as He did]; 11 so that I may attain to the resurrection [that will raise me] from the dead.

Message Notes for Friday, January 1st, 2016:


Patrick's notes for tonights service:

The River of Life:

The angel of truth spoke to Bob Jones: "That There's was a great storm coming shortly and that storm would dump so much water in the Mississippi water basin and that the Mississippi River would flow backwards."

PROPHECY FROM BOB JONES:A few months before the floods came to the Midwest in 1994, Bob was shone that floods were coming to "the heartland" as a sign that revival would come to the heart of America. Several times since, he was told to watch where the floods came in the natural because they would indicate where revival would also come.

> Interpretation:The natural often foreshadows what is about to happen in the spirit. This is especially true in the weather patterns as Psalm 19:1 declares: "The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands." Floods come when there is so much rain that the rivers and streams overflow their banks. That God is using floods as a sign of how the revival is coming indicates that He is going to move in such a way that it will go beyond our present boundaries. Just as it became impossi-ble for men to contain the floods on the Mississippi and other rivers, it is going to be impossible for men to control what is coming. We may restrain the river in one place, but that will only mean that there will be a bigger breakthrough downstream. What is coming is going to be much bigger than anything that we can control.

> Application:The Lord is going to move beyond the present boundaries that men have set for Him. Floods will destroy or damage everything that is not built in anticipation of them. For all of the interest and emphasis on the coming harvest over the last decade, there has been little planning and preparation for it. If we have a good flood plan the waters will be channeled into productive use. If we do not have a good flood plan, what would have been a blessing will do damage. True revivals test the quality of spiritual founda-tions. The wise man who built his house on the rock was the one who both heard and acted on the words of the Lord. If we really believe that revival is coming we should prepare for it with the zeal of an army that is about to go into battle.

Many new Christians are going to be born into the kingdom as spiritual babies. Babies need almost constant attention in order to survive. We must equip multitudes of home group leaders who can pray for the sick, cast out devils, and help to lay a strong biblical foundation in the lives of new believers. We should begin stockpiling supplies such as Bibles, Bible studies, teaching tapes, etc. These new Christians must be established in the faith, and incorporated into the local church. The New Testament makes clear that those who are being saved are added to the church. We must preach the gospel while the fields are white for harvest, and we must also have the wisdom to gather the harvest into the barns, taking care of those who are born again into the kingdom.

January 1, 1993 "At the time Bob received the Three rivers vision he was also told about the floods that were gong to come to the Mississippi river area, which eventually did come. He was even told that it would look like another Great Lakes. Even the weather forecaster's used that exact phrase and said it appeared we had another Great Lake in that area. He was given Isaiah 54:2 and in connection with these as well. He even indicated that the Mississippi River would go 35 miles wide which it actually did in the flood of 1993."

Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; Isaiah 54:2

"I was further instructed that natural occurrences will reflect Spiritual realities. During this 7-year season we are to observe weather patterns, economic conditions, political situations, and world event as indications of the shaking that will be taking place in the Spirit realm."

Mississippi River Flood Crest May Be Highest in 22 Years in St. Louis; Record Crest Possible in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

Stretches of the Mississippi River may see flood crests at or above levels set during the 1993. Nearing or topping the 1993 crest.

Unusual December Deluges the Tipping Point

"This is probably one of the earliest (times) we've seen flooding on the Mississippi River," said Marty Pope, senior service hydrologist with the National Weather Service.

Lake of the Ozarks: Bagnell Dam Gates Opened to Help Alleviate Flooding in Missouri, Officials Say, All 12 of the dam's flood gates at the Ameren Missouri Osage Energy Center were opened. Sunday, bringing the lake's levels to 661.5 feet, Ameren Missouri officials said.

'Historic' Floods Threaten 19 Levees Along Mississippi River.

Mississippi River Flood Crest Will Be Highest Since 1993 in St. Louis; Record Crest Possible in Cape Girardeau, Missour. 

One in a 500 year flood Mississppi River. 

Susan O'Marra: "Had an unusual vision yesterday. Saw a hand reach down over Texas and began unzipping the middle of the US, but this zipper released water. The hand pulled the zipper all the way up to the top of the US. As the zipper unzipped, water flowed all the way up the US. The heart of the US was flooded with water."

This vision can have many applications and interpretations.... but the thing I received the strongest from this was that what the Lord is about to do in our nation, will also bring a release of water, or life, back into the heart of our nation, not only for resuscitation, but for restoration. The "seasons" are going to rearrange...... It's time for national change.........

Many years ago Bob Jones had a profound revelatory encounter in which he was shown the Mississippi River. In the experience he was told of a significant application of this river in the strategy of Heaven. It was portraying the River of the Spirit with specific application to the Lord’s plans for this nation.

Recently, he was given another experience in which he saw the Mississippi River again. Only this time he also observed four evil spirits that were represented by crocodiles. Although he was given a sharp sword to deal with these evil opposition’s, he was instructed to harness their mouths and render them powerless. He put a bridle on their mouths and used their strength to move through the River at a great pace.

That in itself is a prophetic message to the church. Putting a bridle on our mouths can help nullify many of the schemes of the adversary set against Christians through words we speak. Oftentimes we articulate the plans of the enemy when our revelation unknowingly comes from the “second” heaven rather than the third heaven where the plans of God are formulated.

The River was originally intended for fruitful spiritual purposes. Unfortunately counterfeit spiritual authority hijacked the high purpose of Heaven for the River and the Lord is indicating His intent to take back possession of the River. According to Psalms 74:13-14,

You divided the sea by your strength; you broke the heads of the sea monsters in the waters. You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness. Psalms 74:13 14

There is a present work of the Spirit to sanctify the gifts and callings of Heaven so that they can be used for their ultimate destiny. Many of the false prophetic voices, the occult and psychics to this generation actually possess genuine gifts that have not yet been sanctified. Once purified, then the gift becomes food of the people. The same is true for many musical and creative gifts that are being utilized in the world rather than its highest purpose. The Lord is announcing His intent to redeem and reclaim those spiritual endowments.

Authority is being given to pull down the strongholds, arguments and every high thing that has set itself against the pure knowledge of God. This is the River that is to be purified. The Bible declares,

For the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses. We are destroying speculations and every lofty thing raised up against the knowledge of God, and we are taking every thought captive to the obedience of Christ, and we are ready to punish all disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete. 2 Corinthians 10:4-6

The weapons of our warfare empower us to refute unrighteous thoughts set against the knowledge of God. Every proud and lofty imagination that is harnessed against the true knowledge of God will be brought into captivity to the obedience of Christ. That is the sanctification process presently unfolding.


Unrighteous thoughts do not merely consist of sinful actions that we perceive as incorrect behavior. More fully, it includes any thought process we have that is not consistent with the nature and character of God and His word. These are the strongholds and dominions that attempt to taint our knowledge of God and the plan of heaven for this generation. The Lord’s thoughts for us are lofty and powerful— we must come into agreement with that perspective.
