The general cycle contained in the Book of Judges is:

– Evil committed

– Oppressor is sent

– Time of servitude

– Evil repented of

– Deliverer is raised up

– Rest

The Book of Judges shows that history will repeat itself, maybe not exactly, but it will certainly run parallel.  Let’s focus on the story of Gideon.  A friend of mine who had a vision from THE LORD in the 1980’s, similar to mine, was given the template of deliverance parallel to the story of Gideon.  Over the years, we have discussed the current need for deliverance out of Mystery Babylon.

Gideon’s oppressors were the Midianites which means “strife and contention”.  Our current state is similar.  We are in the middle of two wars with a third and forth conflict threatening, there is a global currency war heating up, and the parties in Congress are at extremes, full of strife and contention.  This has been a time of servitude for the globe with the current monetary system enslaving us all.

A remnant around the world has repented of the evil, and many of us have been instructed by Our Heavenly Father to repent of the evil and go before the Throne of Grace to end the judgment.  I believe we are at the parallel point of the “Deliverer being raised up”.

Judges 6:11  And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which [was] in Ophrah, that [pertained] unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide [it] from the Midianites.

The winepress is symbolic of the third feast: the Feast of Tabernacles (revelation of Love) yet it was at the end of the Church age as indicated by the threshing of wheat.  Gideon’s name means “tree feller” or “to cut down” thus creating a stump.  He is the exact person you need when you have a grove of trees to remove.  In Deuteronomy 16:21, Our Heavenly Father instructed Israel not to plant trees around the altar of THE LORD.  Why?  Trees had begun to be related to the sexual aspects in the worship of false gods.  I find it interesting that the U.S. Supreme Court is now been tasked with two cases involving the “sexuality” of America.  If this country was truly living according to the Commands of Our Heavenly Father, there would be no issue whatsoever.  Entertainment in America has continued to use sexuality as a primary draw to entice viewers and buyers of merchandise.  Modesty is out, flaunting sexuality is “in”.

Gideon was met “face to face” by an angel.  This has a subtle reference to the angel called Penuel that Jacob had an encounter with, another reference to Tabernacles.   “And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD [is] with thee, thou mighty man of valour.”  The angel spoke of a gift contained in Gideon that had not yet become operational.  He was not confident that he was called to deliver Israel.  He needed a sign.  He sounds like most if not all of us today.  The first act he was required to accomplish was to remove the idols of the hearts from the midst of his family.  His father had an altar to Baal and had planted a grove of trees around it.  There was definitely sin in the camp and it had to go!  The angel said “throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that [is] by it.”  Gideon took ten men and did just that.  The number 10 means Divine Order or Law.  Since Jesus tied the Law specifically with Love, we must conclude that this was an act of Love for the deliverance of mankind.  Divine Order is the works of the Law.  When we follow the Law, we are walking in Divine Order.  In order to be delivered from the current system, we must embrace Divine Order.  To do that, we must embrace Love and remove the idols and the “sexuality” from our midst.  We must cut down those symbols that have infiltrated our thinking as well as our surroundings.  Then will our calling be fully operational.

As the intent of men to enslave the masses sweeps across the earth, Our Heavenly Father prepares the ephod of our calling to be placed on us to fulfill the deliverance of man from death and destruction.  We have been in a time of preparation similar to that of many called out ones in Scripture: Abraham, Joseph, David, Esther, Paul…   Each person had a specific calling on his or her life.  The uniqueness of the calling satisfied the demands at the time the calling became operational.  The time of preparation was well underway when we were formed in the womb.  Our Heavenly Father’s plan allowed for the years of preparation required to bring us to full stature.

The expectations of our calling are unique to each of us.  Just as each body part is needed to complete the person, each calling has its unique characteristics to provide the necessary tools to complete our portion of the overall plan of Our Heavenly Father.  Some are called to be on the front line whereas others are called to intercede in the quiet of their prayer closets.  Each calling is important to the outcome.

The complexities brought on my man’s attempt to exalt himself above Our Heavenly Father and sit on the Throne will be brought down and removed just as all the idols in the past were cut down, thrown down, crushed, or simply removed.  Those that did evil in the sight of THE LORD will be judged and corrected as is necessary to remove any and all hindrances from their restoration.

Those who have attempted to usurp the callings of others will have their robe of the ephod removed.  Their apparent power and authority was only for a season until the person with the true calling was fully prepared to operate in the fullness of the calling.  As death and destruction seem inevitable, grace and mercy will prevail and Love will swallow up death and make it of none effect.

We must walk in gratitude no matter what our surroundings suggest.  Some of us are going through trials with no apparent end in sight.  Be of good courage, others of us are answering the call of deliverance that will surely assist in delivering you from your circumstances.  We are the Amen people to Our Heavenly Father’s declarations.  We have responded as instructed and declared HIS Name above all others.  We have stood in the gap in intercession as we have been charged by Our Heavenly Father.  Yes, we are HIS witnesses on earth to testify of HIS ownership, rights, and authority over all the earth and its contents.  Our declarations have been made before the Divine Court and Throne of Grace.  Our testimonies have been accurate and sure.  Our Love has express its many attributes and issued a verdict of grace and forgiveness, not giving the adversary a foothold among us.

We present ourselves covered with the Blood of Our Lord Jesus Christ whose sacrifice enabled us to access the Throne of Grace.  His Blood was deemed acceptable.  His sufferings provided the path to the Throne for those of the Order of Melchisedec.

We are approaching the fullness of time.  We are ordained by Our Heavenly Father to be here at this time and to fulfill our calling given to us before we were placed in the womb.  The time and place of your birth is no accident.  Reading this blog is not by accident either.  Your exposure to these words of encouragement were ordained by Our Heavenly Father.  Embrace this time in history.  It will be exciting for us all for we have been selected to do our part in the restoration of mankind.  Selah.

The last few weeks have been notable in the level of Spiritual activity.  One of the indications is the fact that Our Heavenly Father has been waking me up very early.  As background, at the end of 1989 the leasing manager of the office building my company was in asked me to join a group of men for early prayer time… 6AM.  This would necessitate me awakening at 5AM.  I was a 7 o’clock kind of guy at that time.  Our Heavenly Father changed that.  HE told me HE wanted me to start praying an hour before work each day.  My response, “If YOU want me to do that, YOU will have to wake me up.”  No problem.  Each morning HE woke me up at 5 minutes before 5AM, without fail.  This occurred for 10 years, 1990-2000.  It then ended.

The early mornings have started again, as early as 3AM, 3:30AM, 4AM, 4:30AM, 5AM, or 5:30AM.  This morning the clock indicated 5:32AM (the Paschal Lamb cycle of 7X76, the number of cleansing, also the house number where I grew up).  Each morning Our Heavenly Father would have me focus on something that required my undivided attention.  Some mornings to read, some mornings to pray, some mornings to write a blog, and some mornings to just listen.  Yesterday on 2/8 the activity was high all day.

Lately, I have purposely focused on the “here and now” rather than the prophetic.  It started when Our Heavenly Father spoke to me in August of 2011 and told me “Now is the time”.  I wrote 10 blogs on the topic in September of 2011.  Is this tied to Isaiah 9:10, the central Scripture of the book “The Harbinger”?

I have purposely minimized buying books to read in the last few years.  My focus had been on Love and I did not want any distractions.  In December, I completed seven years of studying Our Heavenly Father’s most primary characteristic- Love.  In the meantime this “GOD is Love” Conference has been called and we are led to go.  It begins on 2/16.  In HIS typical manner, Our Heavenly Father has begun some type of preparation.  I believe this Spiritual activity is related.  What will be the result?  As usual, I have no idea.  What is my hope?  I long for some manifestation, change, empowerment, revelation, etc. to occur as a result of this trip.  We all do.

Our Heavenly Father moved upon me to buy the book “The Harbinger” by the man who led the prayer in Washington D.C., I posted the Youtube recording of his prayer.  I finished it this morning.  The book is a witness of what Our Heavenly Father has been showing me for a number of years about our country.  I had actually been to the top of the World Trade Center in the 1990’s as part of walking out my calling in the financial arena.  I knew that on 9/11 that the nation’s covering had been lifted and we should be repenting rather than speaking words of defiance.  The book confirms that point.  I knew that the financial economy would come under judgment, just as the book made the point.  I further expect a greater judgment to occur as the country continues to remove Our Heavenly Father from its midst.  Friday, 9/11/2015 (27th or Elul), is the last business day before the 29th of Elul, 7 years after the last Wall Street Dow meltdown of 777 points in one day.  That is one day I would consider in one’s financial planning.  Read the book.

What is the solution?  The Baptism of Love.

We were running some errands at lunch yesterday and I was telling Pam about the 9 harbingers mentioned in the book.  At lunch I was reflecting on that fact that it had been sixteen years since the first Tabernacles I attended.  I also mentioned meeting Sunny Day.  Yep, that is her name.  I hadn’t talked to Sunny since March when she had called one of her prophetic meetings.  We get back from lunch and who calls?  Sunny.  She was planning a meeting for 2/16 but Our Heavenly Father led her to cancel it.  Suddenly the sixteen year connection is being formed back to the 1996 Tabernacles meeting in Minneapolis.

One hour later, Pam gets a call from an auto dealer.  “We are calling about your car being serviced.”  Pam inquired about what car, since both of ours were here at our house.  “Your Infinity 256”.  She told the caller that we don’t own one.  Struck by the word “Infinity”, she mentioned the call to me as I was working out on the treadmill.  After Sunny’s prophetic call, this unexpected call demanded our focus.  “What do you make of this Infinity 256?”  We “mathematicians” always see 256 as 2 to the 8th power: 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2.   “Honey, that’s infinity, 2 to the 8th power… 16, Love.  On 2/8, we get a call about infinite Love?  The conference is in 8 days?

Is Our Heavenly Father telling us something?  I trust that HE is.

Was there something significant about Tabernacles 1996?  Yes, that was the first conference I attended and Stephen Jones had unexpectedly ask me to speak.   What did I speak on?  The Book of Esther.  I had been in an intense study of the book.

The greatest expression of Love is to sacrifice yourself for others.  That is exactly was Esther did.  Sunny Day had made such a point about tying me to Esther ever since that meeting.  Once again, she mentioned it last year in a meeting.

Is this conference tied to the Book of Esther?

Esther 2:7  And he brought up Hadassah, that [is], Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid [was] fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.

Esther’s “hidden” name is Hadassah.  Hadassah means “Myrtle” (Strong’s #1919).  There must be a tie to the conference being held in the Myrtle Beach area.

Is there a link between 2/8 and 2:8 of Esther?

Esther 2:8  “So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.”

Esther was being brought to the King’s Palace in preparation of going before the King.

Is there a link between 2/16 and 2:16?

Esther 2:16  “So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which [is] the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.”

Hmmm!  Seven years.  Esther is now going before the King, initiating the act of Love to save her people.

Clearly, there is a focus on this conference.  No matter what befalls the U.S., Our Heavenly Father will have raised up a remnant to lead the nation through the calamity.  The remnant will Divine Intent backing it and the Divine Intent has at its foundation, Love.

I am optimistic about 2013 being a year of manifestation.  As we continue to pursue a greater understanding of the Kingdom, I believe we will be given the needed revelation for this time in history.  Our priorities will change once the revelation comes forth.  What we deemed as important in the past will no longer be on our “A” list or even our “B” list.  We will then fully understand the Scripture in Acts:

Acts 4:32 Now the multitude of those who believed were of one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common.

33 And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.

34 Nor was there anyone among them who lacked; for all who were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the proceeds of the things that were sold,

35 and laid them at the apostles’ feet; and they distributed to each as anyone had need.

When we see events similar to the above, the fruitfulness of Love will be a testimony that will expand to the far reaches of the globe.  “Great Grace” will be found among us.
