Micah’s Message
Amanda Grace (27 May 19): Jesus you are welcome here. We block every attack, satanic witchcraft, every activity that is meant to interfere. We loose your angels with flaming swords, and all angels of all rankings and divisions to stand around, guard, and to reinforce the commands that are being given. Take all the glory for Yourself, Lord, for this is for Your glory. In the mighty name of Jesus, amen and Amen!
Brat (in “Listen” 21 May 19): …And couldn’t You send in Michael to put a final end to this torture? Would You, please?! To fulfill Your own Word and for Your own name’s sake and reputation? We can’t take anymore!
Eli Laskey: People hear from God, and they get a confirmation, and then they want to hear from somebody else and get another confirmation and another.
Revelation 20:1 Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pit and a great chain.
James Goll: God Encounters Today: 8 Demonic Gateways That Must Be Exposed
Brat: Did I not confront those eight gates and expose them in “Blessing” and in the rest of my work? [https://truthinus.wordpress.com/2019/05/26/blessing-23-may-19/]
Amanda Grace (in “Blessing” 23 May 19): There is gonna be a gate closed. There are more guards at the gate, because this is a special time the Lord is operating in right now. This is a crucial time. And because of that, the Lord has to keep things veiled, in a sense. He’s got to keep certain things He’s doing with you veiled for a time. He’s got to take certain eyes off of what God’s doing with you. He is closing ranks purposefully, because of what He needs to do and because of how sneaky the devil is.
Eli Laskey: The Philistine defied and opposed them for 40 days. The people thought there was no way to defeat them.
Israel 365 (29 May 19): ✡ From Philistine Stronghold to Israel’s Largest Port! All About Ashdod
Revelation 20:2 And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years,
Rick Joyner: The church is still far from what it is called to be. Great change is needed, and great change is coming. However, those who are waiting for the change to come before they try to be a part of it will be in danger of being in the company of the foolish virgins who waited too long. Those who will play an important role in His body need to be part of the process by which the body becomes what it is called to be.
Revelation 20:3 and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.
Brat: He has already been released. It doesn’t feel like “a little while” when you’re in it.
Amanda Grace: Baal is being made a fool of already. Ahab and Jezebel are infuriated with Elijah. He’s making a fool of them. She’s a high priestess. Their power is being usurped.
Brat: Finally!
1 Kings 18: 24 And you call upon the name of your god, and I will call upon the name of the LORD, and the God who answers by fire, he is God.”
Amanda Grace: They thought this was a good idea, but this was a brilliant strategy by God. Baal was the god of water, rainfall, and dew.
1 Kings 18: 26 And they took the bull that was given them, and they prepared it and called upon the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “O Baal, answer us!” But there was no voice, and no one answered. And they limped around the altar that they had made.
Amanda Grace: They didn’t answer because they got caught with their pants down.
James Goll: Idolatry: The sin of idolatry covers a lot more than worshipping little statues. Rebellion and insubordination equal idolatry. In the Western world, our idols are more likely to consist of our bowing down to gold or silver (greed or mammon)—or just about anything else that we consult first, before God, regarding our lives. Once we recognize our idolatry, we must flat-out turn from our idols as completely as if we had incinerated them.
Amanda Grace (in “Blessing” 23 May 19): Right before a marksman fires, he takes a moment and he aims before he fires. The Lord is aiming right now and he’s about to let the arrow go. The fiery, righteous, arrows are gonna be let go and they are gonna pierce through situations and in the name of Jesus burn out the lies, burn out the deceptions, burn out the corruption, burn out the secrets, the instability, the division, the dissention. “You will look for the enemy but you will not find them,” says the Lord.
Brian Simmons (23 May 19): I Hear His Whisper…”How can you fail when I am with you?”
Lovesick Scribe (23 May 19): The Foundation of Intimacy with God
Amanda Grace: Elijah was a distraction.
Journal (28 May 19): “Your location is currently in use”. This message comes with a bullseye in the tray of my laptop. I see it flash up multiple times a day. Lord, how can I use this information for Your kingdom? To me, this is creepy. To You? Well, You can use all things for Your good for those who love You.
Amanda Grace: Have you ever wondered why Jezebel was not present at the brouhaha at Mount Carmel? I think she was a little too cocky for her own good.
Sophia: Watch “5/29/19 Narcissistic Abuse Q&A and Livestream” on YouTube
https://youtu.be/PMzBA_ZSLvs
Rick Joyner: A basic requirement to grow in a spirit of unity is learning to resolve disputes in the right spirit. Church is one of the primary places we are called to learn this. Those who leave the church because they got offended are usually the same ones who end up leaving their marriages, jobs, and just about any other commitment when things don’t go as they want. This is the symptom of the “spirit of divorce,” or “spirit of division” that we are warned about in Scripture. We must resolve that we will not let that evil spirit rule our life and thereby ruin our life. We must also resolve that we will not let it rule our country and ruin it.
Brat: I truly hear what you are saying. Jesus also wants us to love ourselves enough to not stay in a narcissistically abusive relationship. Needless to say, the Church has been narcissistically abusive to both Sophia and me. Narcissism is Jezebel’s trademark.
Revelation 2: 20 But I have this against you, that you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and is teaching and seducing my servants to practice sexual immorality and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
Eli Laskey: Some people have been unable to move on because of a spirit of Goliath. It’s a hindering spirit. It defies the covenanted people of God. It’s a spirit that resists and keeps God’s people from going forward and keeping them from things that God has purposed for them.
Rabbi Yosef Y. Jacobson (in “Blessing” 23 May 19): “My Contract Preceded His Contract”
Brat: How can I explain this? Let’s say my writings are “food” and people “eat” what I write. Narcissism wants to consume it for itself.
Revelation 2: 21 I gave her time to repent, but she refuses to repent of her sexual immorality.
Brat: So, now the Church has stopped overtly devouring the “food” sacrificed on the altar of Silence, but she still gets off on the game of it. There is a sexual high from the spiritual rape, even though it is a power trip and has nothing to do with sex.
Sophia Buller (29 May 19): The evil covenant is like the unholy Trinity.
Monk: The Church gets off on this.
Brat (in “Blessing” 23 May 19): As an example, somehow my blog stats show ZERO people reading me. My true stats are hidden from me, and yet the Arc Speak clearly shows that people do read me. This has been going on for years. And it started in the Church. It may have spread to the rabbis, but I believe it started in the Church. I could be wrong, but the Jews in Philadelphia come back and bow down to the Church (Rev 3:9) like in the Joseph story (Gen 37:7). What if the bowing is one of respect rather than worship (as assumed)?
James Goll: Rebellion Against Those in Authority: This demonic gateway includes disrespect for anyone who is in a position of authority over us, from parents to marriage partners to church leaders to secular rulers to an angel of the Lord. Even if an authority figure behaves in a way that might provoke us to a sinful response (such as anger, hatred, rebellion, evil talk or retaliation), we must resist the temptation to react as unredeemed people do.
Sophia Buller (29 May 19): An example is if someone sins out of shock and they twist the truth and falsely accuse, that is still a lie… Their motivation wasn’t honesty but falsehood … oh, how it grieves me to see this in the Church today!
Amanda Grace: Obadiah hides two groups of 50 prophets in caves and feeds them bread and water without Ahab and Jezebel smelling a thing! He completely pulls this off because of the anointing of God on his life. (1 Kings 18)
Rick Joyner: The point is that it is the builders who have the authority to tear down. It is the builders who have the heart for something, so they have the right heart to know what needs to be torn down. In the transformation that is coming, a lot will be torn down. There is a lot that needs to be torn down. However, we should not try to tear anything down without having a clear vision and a good plan for building in its place.
Amanda Grace: How did he pull this off? There is something called “an anointing of ease.” One can operate with ease, because the enemy is too preoccupied and too busy to harass you. He was doing this because the Lord had raised up a decoy named Elijah. This was like an underground railroad system to save these prophets.
1 Kings 18:22 Then Elijah said to the people, “I, even I only, am left a prophet of the LORD, but Baal’s prophets are 450 men.
Amanda Grace: Elijah puts on one of the greatest Emmy Award-winning performances ever. He knows there are 100 prophets of God who have been praying in the caves. Obadiah told him this to his face. He was drawing the focus to himself, to protect Obadiah.
Julie Giordano: Hiding in the Secret Place
Amanda Grace (in “Blessing” 23 May 19): The Lord is granting us special access to the Throne of Grace. The Lord is granting us special access to Him that the enemy is being denied. Those being puppetted by the enemy are going to be denied access right out of your life.
1 Kings 18: 10 As the Lord your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my lord has not sent to seek you. And when they would say, ‘He is not here,’ he would take an oath of the kingdom or nation, that they had not found you.
Brat: Ok.
Yvette Miller: It was at that moment—when she described something as “silly” instead of using a term that was a little saltier—that it struck me. My new friend never swore.
Amanda Grace: Ashra is Baal’s counterpart, like Jezebel is to Ahab. Ashra is she who walks on water. This is indicative of a marine spirit. The LORD was launching the attack against the pair (Ashra and Baal.) It was the direct prophetic proclamation of the fall of Ahab and Jezebel. It was a checkmate move of the Lord using Elijah. But Elijah’s got help. Enter Obadiah. These few good men carried out one of the greatest coups in history.
Brat (in “Mt Carmel” 27 May 19): Lord? In psychology, wouldn’t they call this a “flood”? By just the sheer volume of stuff she is sending me? And didn’t Elijah flood Baal’s altar with water before You ate it up with Your fire?
Psalm 93:3 The floods have lifted up, O LORD, the floods have lifted up their voice; the floods lift up their roaring.
Eli Laskey: David defeated Goliath with confidence. The enemy has no say so. David was a man after God’s own heart. His heart was transparent before God. At what point did David fast or get down on his knees or seek God’s approval before going to confront Goliath? He didn’t because he took God at His word.
Brat (in “Blessing” 23 May 19): We ARE living the scriptures! We follow God’s commandments and listen to His voice to the best of our ability and then the Pharisees slap us again that we must please God, not man, but WE ARE! It’s man who is never pleased or satisfied. This beast is insatiable!
Amanda Grace: Baal was under the command of Lucifer. Satan wants blood. In the occult, they believe that the shedding of blood is what gives them power.
Sophia Buller (text on 29 May 19 at 2 pm): God just showed me while I was showering that the vision of that creepy ritual that I saw in a vision more than once a few months back, that you said was confirmation from what God showed you as a teen regarding the Vatican and the mega churches, is a covenant with darkness. I needed to tell you before I forgot … it was the creepy vision where the room was dark and only lit by candles and everyone was chanting creepy and they were in a circle with dark black robes doing some creepy blood sacrifice. It felt like I was there. It was so clear for those few moments and when I asked God, He told me, “The Vatican and the megachurches.” God had already spoken to me for a while about witchcraft in churches. Before the church abuse I went through, I just didn’t get it and I believed everyone who claimed CHRIST belonged to Jesus, but I learned how that just isn’t true and it was painful. I believe the enemy has wolves in sheep’s clothing to try to interrupt Truth from being known and to keep churches cold and lukewarm and to create false doctrines, like God is only Love (hypergrace and moral relativism) and also legalism – both are like the apple in the Garden of Eden, where mankind wants to play god. I also see the enemy sending wolves in sheep’s clothing as a way to try to make humanity love what’s evil and hate what is good. The enemy having wolves in sheep’s clothing also is an attempt to deprive the righteous of justice.
Brat: Sound familiar, Thyatira?
Revelation 2: 22 Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works,
Brat: This was said regarding Jezebel. It is very significant that Sophia’s revisit of the creepy vision took place while showering, because this means purification for the Church. God used a prophet to cleanse us. Yes, Jesus paid it all. And He is using the intercessor prophets to cleanse the atmosphere for His return. Do not take this lightly.
Revelation 2: 23 and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am he who searches mind and heart, and I will give to each of you according to your works.
Brat: Just as Elijah had the false prophets of Baal pour water on the wood and the altar, so God is flipping the scene and is baptizing us into new life with his holy prophets.
Luke 24:45 Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.
Pastor John Tolle (22 May 19): The passage of Scriptures for this week’s Read, Talk, Pray groups is filled with phenomenal meaning. I pray that the Holy Spirit will give grace to each participant to understand and recognize the significance of what is being conveyed in these verses. May verse 45 [of Luke 24] happen to each one of you… “Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.” Are you up to that?
Eli Laskey: There are some people who are in the right places but they don’t move forward. They want more signs. But David didn’t have to be asked twice, because it is written! God LOVED him for that! And this is a word for somebody: And God honored David’s audacity. Other people looked at David and said, “You’re full of pride.” But David wasn’t full of pride, he was full of confidence.
Brat: We cry, “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord,”
House of Destiny (24 May 19): Prophecy, Praise And A Proclamation!
Brat: I’ve been doing that. I even shared with Kim Clement when he was still alive. Kim’s ministry is still here in Camarillo, CA. And I feel like there is still a stronghold over Camarillo.
Pastor Steve Dittmar: Remember, the word “repent” simply means to think differently, have a new thought, or bring forward an old thought. We could probably use to “have a new thought” about the word “repentance”, as it has often carried a sense of condemnation or heavy burden with it. Instead, repentance really is a freeing place in our faith where we accept revelation as truth, not just nice information. As we believe differently, we initiate a turning or conversion toward truth. We turn to Jesus!
Friday, January 17, 2014 at 7:10 am Journal [from 5 ½ years ago…]: And still the prophets will not touch me. They have an unwritten “hands off” policy.
Brat: If there was real repentance going on, it would show. It would be more than a means “to think differently”. If there was real repentance we would be in a tribe who welcomed and truly loved us in deeds, words, and Truth. We would not be orphans without a “home” (in the physical and spiritual sense of the word). Suffering under oppression is not the same as “long-suffering,” because Jezebel enjoys her sport so much, along with the splitting of political hairs, which is the ultimate game for which we must all pay. The nightly news proves this truth.
1 Kings 18:21 And Elijah came near to all the people and said, “How long will you go limping between two different opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him.” And the people did not answer him a word.
Eli Laskey: The devil will show up in your circumstances in a great array and may it look impossible to defeat, but David said, “Who is this that defies the armies of the Living God?” This is what God says; as soon as you stand up to whatever is opposing you right now it will move as soon as you say, “God said…” This is what God has been doing the whole time.
Revelation 2: 28 And I will give him the morning star.
Rick Joyner: I personally moved in this spirit of division the first few years I was a Christian. I caused many divisions and was guilty of slandering leaders and other Christians. I was often right about my evaluation of the problems, but moved in a spirit that brought division rather than fixed problems. This was mostly because I was moving in a great amount of pride. My repentance started when I was shown that as I did unto the least of The Lord’s little ones, I was doing it to Him. I was then shown that what I was guilty of was far worse than anything those I criticized were guilty of.
Micah 3:1 And I said:
Hear, you heads of Jacob
and rulers of the house of Israel!
Is it not for you to know justice?—
Breaking Israel News (28 May 19): Angela Merkel: Every Jewish Institution Needs Police Protection
Marilyn Pagán-Banks: I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. – Revelations 21:22 (NRSV)
Brat: John saw no temple and neither did I. Everyone needs sanctuary to just BE. Everyone needs the freedom of religion that we have on the books of the law. But I have not seen that incarnate. The Church keeps insisting that that we don’t need a building. So I park and pray, and keep an eye out for cops on the prowl and broken glass in the parking lot.
Avrohom Bergstein: The Book of Job explores the morality of Divine justice through the experience of human suffering, primarily the suffering of Job himself.
Brat: I stand anchored in Christ. I will not be provoked. We’ve been through this too many times!
Pastor Steve Dittmar: As I shared in the Secret Place last week, I believe there is an imminent coming of the Holy Spirit. Yes, He is already with us, but I believe He’s coming now to unlock our hearts and to testify so magnanimously of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, that we will be shaken out of our old mindsets, repent, return, receive forgiveness, and receive a new, joyful refreshing from the heart of God!
Charisma: You can’t spell “spiritual warfare” without “R”
Brat: Repentance?
Micah 3:2 you who hate the good and love the evil,
who tear the skin from off my people
and their flesh from off their bones,
Brat: I know this is a hard scripture to hear. No one likes the images this conjures up. But honestly, (and please hear me on this), every time there is a breach, it feels like I’m being dragged through a knothole that is lined with gravel and sandpaper. It really does feel like my spiritual skin is being torn off along with the flesh from my bones. And it takes its toll on my physical body. The only thing I can compare it to is the story of “Roots” by Alex Haley. Only we don’t have a tribe, and he was researching his genealogy through the slave trade. Since we are already royalty in Christ, it is not necessary for me to research the genealogy. And that’s not my point. What I’m trying to say is that when the religious leaders are given an opportunity and they choose to do nothing, or the wrong thing even though they know better, or the defiant thing rather than the right thing, I can feel it in my person. That is like a mom gift. You can feel what’s going on in your child. I think this gift as part of a mom’s birthright. I love the Church as a mom loves her child. From another perspective it is a type of slavery. From another perspective it is a covenantal commitment. If you were in your right mind would you abuse your mother? We have freedom in Christ, and at the same time we are prisoners of hope and love our enemies who have fallen. We cannot understand why they chose their path. Jesus does not want any to perish.
Rick Joyner: Divisions will come, as the Apostle Paul wrote to the Corinthians and the Apostle John wrote in I John 2. Sometimes divisions happen even between the best people, such as when Paul and Barnabas had a sharp division and parted ways. However, it is when there is a pattern of division that we must be concerned. This is an indication that one is operating in a “spirit of division.” These are those that Jude addressed: “In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts. These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit” (Jude 18-19).
Micah 3:3 who eat the flesh of my people,
and flay their skin from off them,
and break their bones in pieces
and chop them up like meat in a pot,
like flesh in a cauldron.
Brat: Are you listening? I feel like I am shouting, “Get behind me, Witch Hazel! (Pleeeease tell me you saw the humor in that!) I know this is a serious topic.
James Goll: Murder and the Shedding of Innocent Blood: As intercessors, we must recognize the culture of death (zombie death culture, abortion, assisted suicide, euthanasia) that surrounds us and pray against it with our weapons of spiritual warfare.
Pastor Steve Dittmar: Just like when He spoke to Saul of Tarsus, He said, “It is hard for you to kick against the goads” (Acts 9:5b). The image here is of kicking backwards against something. What “something,” do you think? Our identity and calling in Christ. In essence, Jesus was saying to Saul, “Stop fighting your destiny, Saul. You were called to be an apostle, not a terrorist; to preach grace, not the law; and to set captives free, not imprison my disciples.”
Christian Harfouche (28 May 19): Your Divine Accreditation and Impartation
Matthew 13:30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”
Rick Joyner: There is a saying that “any jackass can kick a barn down, but it takes a skillful carpenter to build one.” Have you ever known of a critic that started a revival? Have critics ever built anything of significance? Do you know of any who are celebrated in history? Many that The Scriptures call “fault finders” will have accurate discernment and are right about the wrongs that they see, but they move in a foul spirit that only does harm to the work of God and His people. Jude reminds us that “the deep darkness” has been reserved for them. It would be much better to be wrong about a lot of things than to be a “fault finder.”
Micah 3:4 Then they will cry to the LORD,
but he will not answer them;
he will hide his face from them at that time,
because they have made their deeds evil.
Rick Joyner: The most important thing we can do to be positioned and prepared for what is unfolding is to find our place in The Lord’s body, the church, and function in it. I have been preaching this for decades, but the longer we wait to do it, the more difficult it will be to do, and the consequences for not doing it will soon be greater. Knowing what is about to happen will not help us if we are not in the right place, doing what we were called and created to do.
Brat (to BroadStreet Publishing 27 May 19): The email address says info@. Lord, do we really need more info? How does one make contact with Info? Nothing personal? We’ve tried this how many times before? We are supposed to do what You’ve asked us to do. Lord, even though I don’t see the mountains moving, that doesn’t mean they aren’t. I worship You and reach out one more time.
Amanda Grace: Ahab calls for Obadiah. Obadiah, who feared the LORD greatly, was Chief of Staff at Ahab’s and Jezebel’s house. Why is this godly man Chief of Staff over this very pagan household? He was used in a very strategic way. He was a secret operative within the house and within the government to collapse the house from the inside out. He carried a very potent and powerful anointing. Part of it was the Issachar anointing to tell the times and the seasons, so when he was in their household the anointing began to saturate their household. Obadiah was marked by God. As long as you have that mark on you, the enemy cannot kill you. Obadiah was an excellent strategist, and in organizing and executing elaborate plans. That is exactly why the Lord chose him. He did something very heroing and could have only been pulled off because of the Lord.
Avrohom Bergstein: Who Was the Hero of the Book of Job?
[From 6 ½ years ago…] Reflection for 2 After Epiphany on 20 January 2013
“What’s It to Ya’?” [https://truthinus.wordpress.com/2013/01/20/whats-it-to-ya/]
Brat: The Church, too, has been drawing it out, and taken it to the “chief steward.” And the Church took it. And took it. Forgiveness and letting go has not been an easy lesson.
John 2:9 When the [Church] steward tasted the water [of suffering] that had become [sweet] wine, and did not know where it came from (though the [other Church] servants who had drawn the “water” knew), the Steward called the Bridegroom [Jesus]
2:10 and said to Him, “Everyone serves the good wine [of spiritual gifts] first, and then the inferior wine [of emotional gifts] after the guests have become drunk. But you have kept the good wine until now.”
Rick Joyner: When Jesus saw what was wrong with the world He did not criticize or condemn us—He laid down His life for us. That will be the nature of the true leaders that He sends. As we are told in Ecclesiastes 3, there is a time for everything. There is a time to build and a time to tear down. The Apostle Paul said that he had the authority to build up or to tear down the Corinthian church. He had the authority to tear down there because he was the one used to plant and build them.
Marilyn Pagán-Banks: We do not need a structure and a steeple to be the Church today. Just as Jesus was God’s living, moving, disrupting love-made-flesh, we too are the embodiment of God’s purpose, promise and power at work in the world.
Brat (28 May 19): John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
Rick Joyner: To counter the spirit of this world that is bringing the darkness, we must move in an opposite spirit. We must resist the growing hatred by growing in love. We must resist the anxiety and fear by abiding in the peace of God and growing in faith. One of the primary ways we counter the spirit of division growing in the country is to grow in unity with The Lord and His people. It is not possible to be properly joined to The Lord and not also be properly joined to His body.
Brat: Do you have something in mind, Obadiah? I have reached out and received Silence from the Church on my end.
Revelation 2: 24 But to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who have not learned what some call the deep things of Satan, to you I say, I do not lay on you any other burden.
Micah 3:5 Thus says the LORD concerning the prophets
who lead my people astray,
who cry “Peace”
when they have something to eat,
but declare war against him
who puts nothing into their mouths.
Amanda Grace: There were many that had eaten at the table with Ahab and Jezebel and made an unholy covenant with them. Many of those prophets forsook God for a place at their table. They sold themselves for government assistance, look at it that way. They sold their voice.
1 Kings 18: 29 And as midday passed, they raved on until the time of the offering of the oblation, but there was no voice. No one answered; no one paid attention.
Ryan LeStrange (28 May 19): Are you under a Spiritual Attack?
Steve Shultz – Personal (28 May 19): We Need to “Up” our Game and Reach More Lost Souls
Brat: [Send money; nothing personal]
House of Destiny: What is God’s blessing, why does He grant it, and who are its candidates? Let’s make it personal – does the Lord want to bless you?
Chana Weisberg: Don’t Just Overcome Your Hardships, Capitalize on Them!
Pastor Steve Dittmar: “…to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me” (Acts 26:18).
The Lubavitcher Rebbe: What is the correlation between life’s responsibilities and its rewards? If we “do our best” will G-d give us everything we need, or is reward measured by achievement? The law of the “Four Guardians” as a model for the duties and privileges of man.
Brat (28 May 19): …May you hear the message rather than look for an ulterior motive. Her heart is pure. We [Sophia and I] serve the LORD of all the earth. (Zechariah 4)
Pastor Steve Dittmar: In my own life, I have found that when revelation is happening, I need to take the time to look, see, and internalize the truth. I invite you to do the same. I do this so that I can think differently, return to my calling, and be released from captivity. The refreshing that inevitably comes is that I get to enter into and experience the joy of the Lord!
Eli Laskey: Some people are professional hearers. They go and gather words, but they rarely ever take it to heart to see the substance of that word become a part of their reality. They have a perspective on God doing things from an external standpoint. They don’t understand how God works in us and with us.
Micah 3:6 Therefore it shall be night to you, without vision,
and darkness to you, without divination.
The sun shall go down on the prophets,
and the day shall be black over them;
Saturday, May 25, 2019 Journal: I went to the Elijah List’s website and I am blacked out. Evidently they spoon-fed me the piece they wanted me to have through the email and then when I went to their website to get the second piece of the day the site was completely black. It’s not like I was redirected. It was just as black as the Void.
1 Kings 18: 27 And at noon Elijah mocked them, saying, “Cry aloud, for he is a god. Either he is musing, or he is relieving himself, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and must be awakened.”
Brat (BroadStreet Publishing 27 May 19): Would a publisher hear Your love blessing? Or is this just another political move? Father forgive my doubt. If this is a gift, then I thank You. If this is a chess move, then use it to Your glory, like You did with Joseph and his brothers. I DO search in the dark to find You! This has been a really difficult night season! There is no closure, so the wound keeps bleeding.
Pastor Steve Dittmar: Next, the word “remittance” is a payment or settlement, maybe even a gift, and here refers to God’s forgiveness. Our sins are blotted out completely! Sin and shame are heavy burdens to carry for anyone. Yet whenever we see Jesus and receive His truth, we repent and return to our glorious Redeemer. This is constant and continual, and can be experienced every day, throughout the day, over and over again! Salvation is not a one-time event, but a person: the man Christ Jesus, received in our hearts! That’s why returning always leads to a release from guilt and shame, from burdens and trauma. Why? Because we see Jesus, return to Jesus, and He heals us!
Sheri Rose (29 May 19): Move On From Shame
1 Kings 18: 33 And he put the wood in order and cut the bull in pieces and laid it on the wood. And he said, “Fill four jars with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood.”
Amanda Grace: The Lord is about to pull a select arrow out of His quiver. For a moment it doesn’t look like a good thing. For a moment it looks like disaster. But, greatness will be birthed out of it. Everything hidden will be brought to light. The Lord is setting it up for you to be birthed out of that situation and into a new life. But for a moment it seems uneasy.
Brat: I noticed that Elijah told them to fill four jars and at the Wedding at Cana Jesus told the servants to fill six jars. Ya’ think things escalated over the years?
John 2:6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons.
Rosally Saltsman: My Friends Think I’m Ruining Their Fun with My Religious Requirements
1 Kings 18:31 Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD came, saying, “Israel shall be your name,” 32 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 seahs of seed.
Amanda Grace: And the two groups of fifty prophets? What were they doing? They were interceding. They had nothing else to do in that cave but to cry out to the Lord. They are planted in the ground literally like seed and their prayers saturate the ground with the anointing of God. They are beginning now to change the spiritual makeup of the land. They were changing atmospheres and the conditions had to be right for that showdown at Mount Carmel, because Elijah was not doing this on his own.
Michael Chighel: In order to get some intimation of the Infinite One Who is beyond all conception, the mind naturally fills in what is inconceivable with ideas that are logical and comprehensible. A still deeper appreciation of Infinity thus requires a certain hollowing out of the mind.
Micah 3:7 the seers shall be disgraced,
and the diviners put to shame;
they shall all cover their lips,
for there is no answer from God.
Amanda Grace (in “Blessing” 23 May 19): The enemy should not know right now what is behind our gate. Those he puppets should not know what is behind our gate. Only the LORD our God who is in the deepest parts of our heart; who is in the deepest parts of our lives when we walk with Him, only the Lord should know what is going on in your heart, so the enemy cannot pull off a heist.
Micah 3:8 But as for me, I am filled with power,
with the Spirit of the LORD,
and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob his transgression
and to Israel his sin.
Rick Joyner: The Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 1:9, “And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment.” “Real knowledge” and “all discernment” will only be found with the one whose love is abounding. For this reason, we will not have the knowledge or discernment that can help the church if we do not love it. Neither will we have the knowledge or discernment that helps our country if we do not love it.
Marilyn Pagán-Banks: Prayer
God of new possibilities and unlimited imagination, help us to be the Church where you abide and your love is made known to all. May we carry you in our hearts and reveal your power, grace, and justice with our hands. Amen.
Micah 3:9 Hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob
and rulers of the house of Israel,
who detest justice
and make crooked all that is straight,
Marilyn Pagán-Banks: Gratefully, it is not too late to live into our role as a resurrection people: alive, ready and called to spread the Good News. To be good news through our serving, and in our loving, and by our building of the beloved community. Each moment, each day, everywhere we go, and with all whom we meet.
Pastor Steve Dittmar: Then the word “return” means to convert, turn, or be baptized. It can also simply and easily mean “to return”; because when God interfaces with us, it is not from where we are in our lives, but from where He is– full of truth, life, freedom, and love. He always speaks to us not from what we are doing, but from what He has called us to be in Him.
1 Kings 18:25 Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose for yourselves one bull and prepare it first, for you are many, and call upon the name of your god, but put no fire to it.”
Marilyn Pagán-Banks: Revelations 21:22 reminds us that we have never needed a physical building in order to find God in our midst. God abides within us.
Donné Clement Petruska (27 May 19): Prophetic Rewind: Anniversary of Mt. Carmel Concert 2008 – Part 1
Brat: I am not standing in agreement that Kim was a wolf in sheep’s clothing. Not at all. I thought he was of the Church of Philadelphia. But the ministry was silent with me. Even when I shared after Kim died.
Revelation 3:8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
Pastor John Tolle (29 May 19): Do you experience Jesus Christ every day, or is He just relegated to a Sunday church service, or Bible study?
Micah 3:10 who build Zion with blood
and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Brat (28 May 19): My copy and paste mechanism won’t work tonight. And the crows started screaming in the park again –that demonic-like shrill, bone-piercing scream that penetrates to the blood. It felt like Satan had stirred them up again, and that hasn’t happened in months. It’s no coincidence that it happened this afternoon when I was blessing Jesus.
1 Kings 18: 28 And they cried aloud and cut themselves after their custom with swords and lances, until the blood gushed out upon them.
Amanda Grace: Elijah had put the rock down FIRST. Jesus is the Rock. Then came the wood, foreshadowing the cross. He puts the wood on the rock and the sacrifice on the wood, like a prophetic foreshadowing the death of Jesus.
Marilyn Pagán-Banks: In these times, the world is looking to see—and then judge—how the Church shows up in moments of deep pain, fierce hate, and wild politics. Rightly so. Too many churches have become weekly destinations, or a means to a preferred final destination, and less a daily way of practicing God’s love, justice, welcome, healing, and grace.
Micah 3:11 Its heads give judgment for a bribe;
its priests teach for a price;
its prophets practice divination for money;
yet they lean on the LORD and say,
“Is not the LORD in the midst of us?
No disaster shall come upon us.”
Amanda Grace: Jezebel pronounces judgment upon herself.
Menachem Feldman: The Torah that we study must become part of us. It must not remain a distinct intellectual entity just sitting in our minds. The teachings must become part of our bloodstream, part of our character.
Eli Laskey: What God loved about David is that David treated the Word of God the way God treated the Word of God. God puts His word above everything else. All David had to hear was the reproach of Goliath. He was reproaching them in a way that led to shame. He was bringing them down into a low place. It’s time for you to slay that Goliath in the battle of your transition. Move in and take what belongs to you. What has been harassing you has no place to speak over your life; it has no authority. The path he was blocking will be made open unto you. God is obligated to support your audacity in Him. The Lord will not be put to shame and His word will not return void.
Menachem Posner: With that, he signaled his driver and the carriage sped off before the rabbi had a chance to ask any questions.
Micah 3:12 Therefore because of you
Zion shall be plowed as a field;
Jerusalem shall become a heap of ruins,
and the mountain of the house a wooded height.
1 Kings 18: 37 Answer me, O Lord, answer me, that this people may know that you, O Lord, are God, and that you have turned their hearts back.”
Amanda Grace: This was done in the evening as an atonement for sin.
1 Kings 18:38 Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.
Brat: Pentecost is on 9 June 2019. That doesn’t mean God is not working overtime to make things right and to prepare His holy fire for now!
Pastor Steve Dittmar: Finally, “refreshing” is the gift of the Holy Spirit. In times of refreshing, we receive an inheritance among those being saved. Refreshing is the completion of every salvation experience. We see into our future, become empowered by the Holy Spirit, and receive our inheritance in Christ.
1 Kings 18: 39 And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, “The Lord, he is God; the Lord, he is God.”
