Celebrate Victory -

These are the Words of God to me.... 

Prov 10:22 The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, and He adds no trouble to it.

2 Cor 9:8 And God is able to make all grace superabound toward you, that you always having sufficiency in all, may abound to every good work.

Is 45:1-3 Thus says the Lord  to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held to subdue nations before him, and I will unarm and ungird the loins of kings to open doors  before him, so the gates will not be shut. I will go before you and level the mountains (to make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the doors of bronze and cut asunder the bars of iron. And I will give you the treasures of darkness and hidden riches of secret places that you may know that it is I the Lord the God of Israel, who calls you by your name.

CELEBRATE VICTORY

by Bill Burns

In these days we have been examining “the rest” that the Lord has promised us for October through December. We have a promise of rest that remains, and we who have believed the prophetic word will enter the rest of the Lord as we cease from our own efforts and rely on God to finish the good work that He has begun.

The title of today’s message is “Celebrate Victory” – celebrate the victory that will come to completion in rest. Celebrate the blessings which have come and will yet come.

The Fourth Quarter (prophetic word): “October through December will be a time of celebration for victory over the enemy and for the blessings that have come and will continue to come. It will be a season of rest and restoration as we enter into the Holy of Holies and dwell in the presence and light of the Lord and He will cover us with His glory.”

The Purpose of Rest
To enter into the Holy of Holies where man has no part except to abide in the presence and glory of God and be transformed into the image of Christ.

Man’s part in the temple service:
1. Outer Court
a. Brazen altar – receive the sacrifice of Christ’s flesh.
b. The laver – washed through repentance for the works of the flesh

2. Holy Place
a. Partake of the showbread – the word of God.
b. Be baptized in the Holy Spirit and grow to a fullness of the seven spirits of God.
c. Stand at the altar of incense; pray and prophesy by the Spirit.

3. Holy of Holies
a. Third dimension is ALL Spirit, and God is all in all where we do nothing except worship.
b. The Ark – the heart of God
c. The manna – spiritual food and revelation
d. The stone tablets – the foundation of God’s written word.
e. Aaron’s Rod – priestly authority.

All of these become a part of our nature as we abide in His presence where we are restored, rejuvenated, regain vitality, health and strength. And, receive revelation of the written word (stone tablets) and receive the manna (prophetic word).

Word from Patty Kerst: I saw golden lamps. Some were burning bright, some were barely lit. Then I saw all kinds of shapes and sizes of stones of myrrh falling gently from heaven. The Lord said, “You have kept the fire of My love burning through some difficult times, and I say to you well done. I am bringing this anointing of Myrrh that will now burn in you. Keep this new fire burning hot with love for Me. I am giving larger stones of Myrrh to some who have been through very difficult seasons. I say to those who have been through rough waters, your way is about to become smooth as butter.”

Myrrh is the oil of resurrection life (the third dimension of grace – empowerment) First dimension of grace: justification. Second dimension of grace: sanctification.
Third dimension of grace: glorification.
Resurrection life and power only comes in the third dimension represented by the Holy of Holies

A Time of Revelation
Will come out of this rest that will prepare us for the new season of spiritual habitation on the New Plateau. Fresh oil and fresh manna will come to those who rest in this season. It is a time of assimilation – to understand what the Spirit of God has brought you through this past year. As you examine your trials for the sake of order, your blessings and new level of understanding, you will find your spiritual compass that will point you in a direction of completion in this new season. Completion of things begun in 2007.

You will move from assimilation to acquisition as you rest in the Lord.

But What About The Warfare?
Do only that which God shows you to do. Abiding in His glory will move you from the desperation of prayer to the absoluteness of prophetic proclamation. In the Holy of Holies the angels cover the mercy seat with worship. As we worship with them, they will be released to complete the warfare that we have begun.

Joel 3:10 Let the weak say I am strong!
Joel 3:11 Cause your mighty ones (angels) to go down there (earth), O Lord.

When will they come down here?
Zephaniah 3:
14 Sing, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem!
15 The LORD has taken away your judgments, He has cast out your enemy. The King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst; You shall see disaster no more.
16 In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: "Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak.
17 The LORD your God in your midst, The Mighty One, will save; He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing."
18 "I will gather those who sorrow over the appointed assembly, Who are among you, To whom its reproach is a burden.
19 Behold, at that time I will deal with all who afflict you; I will save the lame, And gather those who were driven out; I will appoint them for praise and fame In every land where they were put to shame.
20 At that time I will bring you back, Even at the time I gather you; For I will give you fame and praise Among all the peoples of the earth, When I return your captives before your eyes," Says the LORD.

In chapter 10 of the book of Daniel we find God’s angels warring with Satan’s princes. Daniel is worn out (needs restoration).

Daniel 10:
17 "For how can this servant of my lord talk with you, my lord? As for me, no strength remains in me now, nor is any breath left in me."
18 Then again, the one having the likeness of a man touched me and strengthened me.
19 And he said, "O man greatly beloved, fear not! Peace be to you; be strong, yes, be strong!" So when he spoke to me I was strengthened, and said, "Let my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."
20 Then he said, "Do you know why I have come to you? And now I must return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I have gone forth, indeed the prince of Greece will come.
21 "But I will tell you what is noted in the Scripture of Truth. (No one upholds me against these, except Michael your prince.)

Be strong and understand what is noted in the scripture of truth – as the mighty ones of God fight on our behalf as we worship and celebrate victory! It is a time of rejoicing in a spirit of thanksgiving before the King of Glory.

Psalm 26:
6 This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. Selah
7 Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is this King of glory? The LORD strong and mighty, The LORD mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah

The Lord of Heaven’s armies will release His warrior angels and bring the victory. Lift up your heads in faith, and rejoice – victory is assured. So, celebrate the victory!

Debt Free Testimony

I realise this Testimony will be impossible for me to sketch without the power of the Holy Spirit to aid me and open your understanding....

I thank you Lord that I do this with Your ability and not mine and every reader acknowledges that as they proceed, they ask and acknowledge that they need Your help to open their heart and their understanding, even unto Your Kingdom. Amen.

About 10 years ago, I fell at the feet of Christ, not being able to continue and God lifted me up, opened my eyes and showed me they way in which to go to get myself untangled. Yes, I had loved the world and worked very hard to be successful. I was well known, wealthy, in control, cleaver, able, desired and envied by the world. A great achiever as always .... people looked up at me! I had built my life!

Yes, I created me and didn't allow God to form or fashion me. I made me into what the world celebrated and it was empty, hard, unfulfilling and slavery! He opened my eyes, I could suddenly see a way out of my immediate circumstances, but I had to take the steps by faith and be willing to walk it. I did, and bit by bit He showed me more and directed my path. I had to untangle myself and lay down the 'me' I had created and allow Him to form and fashion me into His image.

I had to realise and believe that if I could create success which the world admired, then how much more could He do with me and my life if I surrendered it completely and if I allowed Him to be the head! I had no DENY myself and all my achievements. I had to lay myself down and become nothing. It takes courage, but with God all things are possible. He will not ask you to do what He has not already given you. Just as a dormant seed has everything to yield life and the ability is already within, so He has given us everything including His Spirit with which He overcame the world, even death!

It was a journey indeed.... From drug addicts to children to prostitutes with children to teens, delinquents, disturbed, abused, and special needs cases. My journey was not just a journey, but His school and His equipping for all He had called me to do. He taught me and I learned to listen and to trust Him.

During the journey He asked me to use all I had earned and made whilst serving the world and myself. When I had sold all my properties and used the money, He sent the children. He provided a home. I had no funds for the rental, but I claimed it for the work of God and His Kingdom and I looked after it as if it were my own as I believed it would be mine as I had claimed it. My actions strengthened my faith.

After I moved into the home, God told me that I would be like the widow Elijah had gone to. I would have just enough, but that I should share it and that it would not run out. He also said that afterwards I would be like the widow Elisha had told to fill the vessels when they wanted to take her children because of debt.

By God's grace when I came to this stage I only had 3 children. In the last 3 and half years I had many dependants, often we were 9 or 11 in the home. On average 7. I informed Social Services, my tenants and my landlady of my financial difficulty, but I could not act as God had not told me to move or to do anything. I still did not know what the 'vessels' in the tale were in my situation.

Three weeks later, God showed me that I should go and loan from all I knew what they had to spare. Over the years I had helped over 150 drug addicts, I had taken in the lost, sick, homeless and disturbed from many churches and I had realised that they who had the answer did not know the answer or trust and believe the ANSWER.

I had not asked for help in all the years. God had given me 2 hands, 2 feet, a brain and great ability. I used it as I wanted to serve Him better than I served myself and the world. In fact, when I started I told God that I was willing to do all, but that He would have to make me able to do all (even financially) as He was a BIG God and I could not discredit Him by standing with my hands out as if He was not able. I would not ask for alms or help! But, now it was an instruction, and I know He always has a reason and a lesson.

God could deliver me without me asking for help. Why did I need to ask? Was He testing if I had pride. I felt no shame in asking. I knew it was not pride. Did He want witnesses to see the miracle He was about to perform in my life? Maybe, He may even want to build their faith, but I believe He wanted to show me who believed in me and all He had instructed me to do and all I had done and sacrificed in His Name for His name sake.

As I had been working with the 'decay' (broken, unwanted, rebellious, sick, disturbed, etc) of society, I had been unsocial not just because people felt fearful and nervous around me with all my companions, but also as the world was dangerous to those I was aiding. The world could steal their life and destroy their hope or even infect them and lure them away before they became totally free. Further more, there were also those Christians that wanted fame and glory that would put the lost in jeopardy that were just as dangerous as those that had not their identity in Christ, that needed to be needed, that would become someone's saviour at the cost of them losing out on finding Christ for themselves. In short I have lived a quiet secluded life because of the love I have for God and the faith I have that He had sent each and every person to me. I have sacrificed my money, my time, my social relationships, family, friends and my name because I have believed Him.

All this and the fact that I used what I had, as opposed to making money out of those in desperation and need, made me do the work by myself and therefore I lived a life cut-off from everyone as I didn't have the time to stay in contact. Now, I needed to make contact. As I contacted people, I eventually realised why I needed to do all this. Years back I pained a T-shirt, still displayed on my web, stating: "I invest my money, I spend my time and I give my name, because I believe". God had shown me that 3 things He does because He has faith in us, which is the test of TRUTH for us as well: He calls us by Hos Name as He is not ashamed of us as He knows we will make it. He invests His time in us and all He has He gives us, because He knows that when we see who He is, we will be free! The TRUTH will set you free!

So, where am I heading with all this? I know who is with me, in faith and in love and in the building of all He has instructed me to do and I thank all those that helped for having faith in me and all I have done in his Name.

God's Word to me that He will deliver me, will become a reality and everyone that did not believe will indeed know that God has instructed me and called me for this purpose to prepare a generation for Him.... to rebuild Jerusalem with a people that will labour and build - building whilst having their weapons at hand ready to fight just as in the time of Nehemiah.

I will have the strength of a 40 year old even when I am 80, as I am called unto this purpose and indeed you will see me delivered forever from all debt and I will not lack, but prosper and all I had had given up and laid down in this world, will be restored to me 100 fold. All I have sowed in and by faith the last 10 years, I will reap 100 fold and death will not taste be and not be my portion in Jesus Name. Amen.

Now I declare to you that the latter will be greater than the former! See, God has done it! Amen and Amen!

This is my heart

You will find a new heart operating in you, emotions, zeal and desires that are not of this world, but that you will recognise as His heart and His desires and His purpose for you. You will find and get to know Him, Christ the Lord, The ANOINTED one, as He reveals Himself in you.

This is my experience and my life. this is my desire and my heart... that He be glorified in me and that my life may not just pass by, but that it will have value in that He will be glorified in me for His Name sake.

This is the zeal and love that burns within me. This is my desire. This is my security, that by acknowledging all that is within me, that it has not its origin in me or from this world, but that it comes from on HIGH, and that it will be accomplished in me as I am called and I am chosen as I choose to be called and chosen. When He utter:'Whom will I send' , I said: 'Here I am, send me.'

This is my faith that it is established in Him. My faith is not of myself, but is a gift from God out of the perfect obedience of Christ the Lord. I believe that I am the 14th generation that will be accounted to Jesus as a generation and He is my head, my beginning and my end. 'Christ in me, the hope of glory' , by His Holy Spirit that indwells me, teaches and guides me, this scripture will be established in my life, not by my strength, but by His power as I receive it in Jesus Name.

I see and acknowledge all that He has done and brought to me according to my ability and guided by Him. I am but a mere human, but I have SUPERNATURAL life within me and the SOURCE of all life! Nothing is impossible.

I have faith in His faith. I rest in Him and what He says so that I am able to walk as Christ.... anointed as He is anointed, for He has anointed me for His purpose as I have received Him and I acknowledge Him even in my weakness He prevails and I overcome by His Spirit without condemnation as He has established all things to His Glory. Amen

I pray for this, His Spirit, to overcome and to be established as He has done in me. This is my faith.... what He has accomplished in me. This is my testimony... He is able and I am a product of how He will change this world and His KINGDOM WILL BE ESTABLISHED in Jesus Name. I know this. I live this. I am a fruit of this supernatural power at work.

Take a journey with Him and see what His plan is for your life and watch Him establish it in your life as you rest in Him and in the knowledge that He loves you unconditionally and completely, for faith works by love.
