Walking in fear leads to unbelief and complaining is the language of unbelief!

Complaining only comes out of the heart that has a lordship challenge, a lordship issue.  Where the lordship of Jesus Christ is being compromised, complaining will be the evidence.  Complaining is the language of fear and unbelief.  Nobody complains when they see GOD’S role in the middle of their situation. 

Consider Joseph!  For about 13 years, he was incarcerated.  This time spent was to remove worldliness, entitlement, and prepare his character so that he could walk in his calling.  Complaining would not shorten the time of preparation.  Instead, he embraced the time and rose to influence within the prison.

Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Exodus chapter 14:

13 And Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.

14 The LORD will fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.”

After this prophecy, Moses is interceding to THE LORD.

15 And the LORD said to Moses, “Why do you cry to Me? Tell the children of Israel to go forward.

Once the prophecy comes forth, they were to go forward, trusting in the prophecy, i.e., The Word of THE LORD.  GOD told Moses to quit crying and take action.

16 But lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

17 And I indeed will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. So I will gain honor over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen.

18 Then the Egyptians shall know that I am the LORD, when I have gained honor for Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”

You and I are to go forward rather than complain about our current circumstances.  We are not to be moved by the chaos around us but walk through to the other side.

19 And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them.

As they went forward, The Lord led the way, and the angel of GOD protected them from behind.

What was the result?

20 So it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night.

THE LORD protected the children of Israel and did not allow the Egyptians to overtake them.  There were two manifestations at the same time: darkness and light, a cloud in one case, fire in another.  The workings and dealings of GOD have everything in the world to do with our heart’s condition.  Do we say, “GOD prove it to me” or do we say, “No matter what You say, my answer is ‘Yes’”.

Are we going to stop complaining and move forward based on what The Holy Spirit is telling us to do?  We have been warned about what is ahead in these last days of the last days.

Jesus Himself spoke in Matthew chapter 24:

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you.

5 For many will come in My Name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars. See that you are not troubled; for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.

7 For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. And there will be famines, pestilences, and earthquakes in various places.

8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9 “Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My Name’s sake.

10 And then many will be offended, will betray one another, and will hate one another.

11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.

12 And because lawlessness will abound, the Love of many will grow cold.

13 But he who endures to the end shall be saved.

14 And this Gospel of the Kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come.

Let us not complain but move forward and fulfill HIS mandate to preach The Gospel with signs and wonders following.

This number is extremely significant to the elect.  The first miracle-sign is the wedding feast of Cana, which, when calculated into modern measures, tells how Jesus turned 153 gallons of water into wine. The eighth sign, which is its parallel, presents 153 mature fish (John 21:11), because 153 is the biblical number representing the sons of God. The Hebrew phrase, beni h’ elohim, “sons of God,” has a numeric value of 153.

The following video provides even greater detail:

These writings are intended to prepare the sons of GOD for their prophesied ministry to all nations.

Angels are assigned to enforce The Word of GOD!

In a recent writing, we looked at Jacob’s ladder where the angels were ascending and descending from Heaven.  We also looked at the wind and fire occurring at Pentecost.  Let’s look at another event connected to the wind and fire.

It is written by The Holy Spirit in 2^nd Kings chapter 2:

1 And it came to pass, when the LORD was about to take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

2 Then Elijah said to Elisha, “Stay here, please, for the LORD has sent me on to Bethel .” But Elisha said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!” So they went down to Bethel.

“Bethel” means House of GOD.  The same place where Jacob experienced the revelation.

3 Now the sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, “Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?” And he said, “Yes, I know; keep silent!”

Notice that GOD had given the prophets notice that Elijah was about to be taken away.

4 Then Elijah said to him, “Elisha, stay here, please, for the LORD has sent me on to Jericho.” But he said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!” So they came to Jericho.

5 Now the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came to Elisha and said to him, “Do you know that the LORD will take away your master from over you today?” So he answered, “Yes, I know; keep silent!”

Elisha receives a double witness of the event about to happen.

6 Then Elijah said to him, “Stay here, please, for the LORD has sent me on to the Jordan.” But he said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you!” So the two of them went on.

7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood facing them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan.

8 Now Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the water; and it was divided this way and that, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.

9 And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, “Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?” Elisha said, “Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.”

Double anointing is double responsibility.  Be careful about what you ask for.

10 So he said, “You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so.”

11 Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into Heaven.

12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried out, “My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!” So he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces.

What did Elisha see?  He saw fire.  How was Elijah taken up?  By wind!  Elisha was distracted by the chariot of fire.  However, he saw Elijah depart by the whirlwind.

13 He also took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan.

14 Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, “Where is the LORD God of Elijah?” And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over.

You and I have been summoned and called to do greater things in Jesus.  As we do, don’t be distracted or surprised by the signs and wonders, or by the wind and fire.  Focus on bringing for the Kingdom of Heaven.  That is our assignment.  These writings are intended to prepare us for what is coming.  This does include seeing angelic activity at work.

We are to speak of the wonderful works of GOD!

When people complain, they don’t understand GOD’S power to deliver and are not fully trusting in The Word to deliver them out of their own situation.

Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Numbers chapter 11:

23 And the LORD said to Moses, “Has the LORD’s arm been shortened? Now you shall see whether what I say will happen to you or not.”

24 So Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD, and he gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people and placed them around the tabernacle. 25 Then the LORD came down in the cloud, and spoke to him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and placed the same upon the seventy elders; and it happened, when the Spirit rested upon them, that they prophesied, although they never did so again.

26 But two men had remained in the camp: the name of one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them. Now they were among those listed, but who had not gone out to the tabernacle; yet they prophesied in the camp.

27 And a young man ran and told Moses, and said, “Eldad (GOD has Loved) and Medad (Loving-one) are prophesying in the camp.”

28 So Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ assistant, one of his choice men, answered and said, “Moses my lord, forbid them!”

29 Then Moses said to him, “Are you zealous for my sake? Oh, that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD would put His Spirit upon them!”

What did the seventy elders prophesy?  They prophesied the wonderful works of GOD, but only once.  Their unbelief kicked in even though their own words prophesied otherwise.  The elders failed to enter the Promised Land as a result.

For hundreds of years, prophets spoke of the coming power and Presence of GOD coming to the earth and His Name is Jesus.  He performed the wonderful works of GOD so that the people would believe and be born again.  When He died and rose again, He made the way for The Holy Spirit to indwell in all men and carry on the same wonderful works of GOD.  To what end?  To bring forth Heaven to earth.  This culminated on the Day of Pentecost.

Consider this. 120 disciples were in the upper room of the house.  They had just been instructed by Jesus for forty days concerning the Kingdom of GOD.  They spend 10 days of preparation to come into unity, in one accord.  Let us once again consider exactly what happened.

This event was recorded by Luke in Acts chapter 2:

1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind (a roar), and it filled (them inwardly) the whole house where they were sitting.

3 Then there appeared to them divided Tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled (outwardly, furnished and equipped) with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

All of this took place in the house yet outside, thousands of people gathered round.  Why?  They heard the roar throughout Jerusalem and found where it took place.  What happened next?  The 120 disciples went outside speaking in Tongues, which was a sign to all those who gather from the city.

5 And there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men, from every nation under Heaven.

6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.

7 Bewildered, they said to one another, “Aren’t these all Galileans?

8 So how is it that we hear them speaking in our own languages?

How long did it take the disciples to learn 70 languages?  In a moment!

This was the universal remedy of the curse of Babel, where human beings were divided by languages in Genesis 11:9.  Now, in Christ, the language of The Holy Spirit unifies us all IN HIM.

So that there is no mistake of speaking in different languages, many languages are mentioned:

9 Parthians and Medes and Elamites, those dwelling in Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya adjoining Cyrene, visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

11 Cretans and Arabs-we hear them speaking in our own tongues the wonderful works of God.“

One aspect of speaking in Tongues is to proclaim the wonderful works of GOD.  Let us not undervalue the importance of praying in Tongues.  It is one means of offering up praise to GOD and speaking Words of thanksgiving to HIM.

What happens when 120 people are perfectly yielded to GOD?

It creates a sound and that sound results in a move of The Holy Spirit.

Jesus spoke to Nicodemus in John chapter 3:

5 Jesus answered, “I speak an Eternal Truth: Unless you are born of water and the Spirit, you will never enter God’s Kingdom.

6 For the natural realm only gives birth to things that are natural, but the Spiritual realm gives birth to Supernatural Life!

7 “You shouldn’t be amazed by My statement, ‘You all must be born from Above!’

8 For the Spirit-Wind blows as It chooses. You can hear Its sound, but you don’t know where It came from or where It’s going. So it is the same with those who are Spirit-born!”

The Holy Spirit chooses our direction and our destination as we bring forth The Kingdom of GOD.  We simply follow His leading and respond without delay.

In Acts, suddenly, the sound of the Mighty Rushing Wind (a roar) blanketed the city of Jerusalem, and all the people rushed to see the source of the sound.  It came to the house where the 120 were gathered.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2:

1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they (120 people) were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound (roar) from Heaven, as of a rushing mighty Wind (roar), and It filled the whole house where they were sitting.

3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other Tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

This single event changed the consciousness, the awareness, and mindset of an entire city.  People who crucified Jesus 50 days earlier are now asking the question, “What must I do to be saved?”

A sound was created that changed the atmosphere of an entire city.  Every time that you and I say yes to The Holy Spirit, a sound is released into a city.  Something happens in the Spirit realm of a city where an awareness and consciousness increases among the people whether they realize it or not.

An event in Brazil during a meeting in 1997:

I heard the Spirit of God whisper to my heart, “I am coming again.” Immediately I sensed it and said, “He’s coming again!” What I now write will in no way accurately represent what happened next. My words are too limited and God too awesome. Neither will I exaggerate, for that would also be irreverent. I interviewed three other leaders who were present to clarify and confirm what I now record. No sooner had the word again left my lips when the following happened. The only way I know how to describe it is to compare it The Fear of the Lord to standing a hundred or so yards away from the end of a runway as a huge jet takes off right in front you. This describes the roar of the wind that immediately blew through that auditorium. Almost simultaneously the people erupted in fervent and intense prayer, their voices rising and combining into almost a single shout. When I first heard the rushing wind, I reasoned that a jet had just flown over the building. In no way did I want to attribute something to God if there was a chance that it was not. My mind raced to remember the proximity of the airport. It was nowhere nearby, and two hours had passed with no sounds of planes overhead. I turned inward to the Spirit, realizing I could sense the presence of God in an awesome way and that the people had exploded into prayer. This was certainly not in response to an airplane’s passing overhead. If it had been a plane, it would have had to have been flying at the low altitude of no more than one hundred yards over the building in order to sound like that. And even at that, I would not have been able to hear such a mighty rushing noise over the din of three thousand people praying loudly. The sound I heard was much louder, and clearly overpowered all the voices. With it resolved in my mind that the wind was the wind of the Holy Spirit, I still did not say anything. I did not want to relay inaccurate information or hype the people with overzealous professions of spiritual manifestation. The roar of this wind lasted approximately two minutes. When it subsided, it left in its wake a praying, weeping people. The atmosphere was charged with holy reverence. The Lord’s presence was very real and powerful.

Are you ready for the roar?

The House of GOD is not a building, It is a Rock!

The Law of first mention is the standard for describing its use elsewhere in Scripture.  Yesterday, we saw the connection of Genesis 28 and John chapter 1 where Jesus encountered Nathanael, the disciple with no deceit found.

The next fulfillment is found on the Day of Pentecost.

Luke recorded by The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2:

1 When the Day of Pentecost had fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

2 And suddenly there came a sound from Heaven, as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

3 Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other Tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

There is sound of wind and fire that comes into the room

And It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 1:

7 And about His angels He says, “I make my angels swift winds, and my ministers fiery flames.”

Jesus told Nathanael he would see greater things which includes angels ascending and descending from Heaven to earth on the Son of man.  They minister according to The Holy Spirit’s directives here on earth.  Their evidence was seen on the Day of Pentecost; they are associated with wind and fire!  It is foolish to worship them, and it is equally foolish to ignore them.  They are not to be worshiped, and we don’t serve them.  They help facilitate GOD’S assignment in our lives.  To ignore them is not smart!

I can testify that an angel pulled me away from certain death midday in 2012 when a commercial van nearly hit me while I was crossing in a crosswalk on my bike.  I was pulled away to safety, but the bike went under the van before it finally stopped about forty feet later.  I safely survived but my bike didn’t.  It was by FATHER’S great grace and mercy on my behalf.

What happened when the wind and fire appeared?

Continuing in Acts 2:

6 And when this sound occurred, the multitude came together, and were confused, because everyone heard them speak in his own language.

7 Then they were all amazed and marveled, saying to one another, “Look, are not all these who speak Galileans?

12 So they were all amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “Whatever could this mean?”

13 Others mocking said, “They are full of new wine.”

What was the response of the people?  They were confused, amazed, they marveled, stunned, perplexed, and some mocked.  Expect this response to you carrying out Jesus’ command to bring forth the Kingdom of GOD to the earth.  If you think you can have a move of GOD without those things, you are horribly mistaken.

This was an uncommon event in an international city.  Thousands of people would not show up when it is business as usual!  The sound was not of this world.  Also, the fire was not of this world.

There were 120 people in the upper room who were in unity and tuned in to the Heart of GOD.  When we are in perfect unity with HIS Heart, the supernatural occurs for all to witness.  People can be united but not in tune with HIS Heart.  They will not have the same results as what happened in Acts chapter 2.

The more I yield to what HE is saying, the more I yield to what HE’S doing, the more I become the instrument in HIS Hand simply to represent HIM well, suddenly, I find that I am drawn to people who have those same values.  It becomes a unity that’s created by The Holy Spirit Himself.

The psalmist recorded by The Holy Spirit in Psalm chapter 118:

22 The very Stone the masons rejected as flawed has turned out to be the most important Capstone of the arch, holding up the very House of God.

23 The Lord Himself is the One who has done this, and it’s so amazing, so marvelous to see!

24 This is the very day of the Lord that brings gladness and joy, filling our hearts with glee.

You and I are stones in the House of GOD where Jesus is the Chief Cornerstone.  All of HIS stones are in perfect alignment and unity with Jesus.
