Stones

The eagle displays My Majesty

With plush Robes I cover them

I see My Glory near and a distance there

I delight in its facets, as emeralds, rubies

There is no glory that seats above Me

The clouds display My posterity

Swelled with Goodness, outpour at Will

Rolling over all the nations

Victoriously galloping on , thunderous peals

From My center I outpoured 

My facets, set as carbuncle and onyx and opal

I guarded them with a covering cherub

With sparkling, precious stones My heart was full

Before the foundation of the world

I secured My Glory and poured

I set It to multiply in Eden

By My Spirit, By My Word

Man and Woman in Our own image

My precious Heart taken Form

To multiply in all of My facets

It was My Glory they wore

The cherub that covered them at the first

Came envious, with scorn

At My Glory, at My Magesty

At the precious Stones of My Heart adorned

I kept My heart in The Garden

I visited them oft 

I gave them all My fruit to eat

To reflect Me for all of eternity

There also was the tree 

reserved for My enemy

of the judgement he would eat

of every malice in his own heart

Was he destined to defeat

The fruit of that tree, his alone to eat

I poured My heart into the Garden 

And there gave them My Goodness and his judgement to keep 

My enemy slithered toward my Treasure

In the Garden My heart came acquainted with grief

The whole earth I drowned in it

Save for Noah and his sheep

Before the foundation of the world 

I made that My Heart would keep

In My only Son would My Heart return to Me

Again as in Eden 

I came to linger with them

I found My own recognized Me not

I came to them as I Am

They called Me blasphemous

They sought My life

I came before My enemy

In the ones who had My Heart

Before the foundation of the world 

I spoke My Heart would keep

In My only Son I would forgive them

And return them back to Me

I sent My Word to look like them

That they would again behold themselves in Me

As them I fulfilled the wrath of My broken heart

My enemy's testimony was again his alone to eat

I hung at Calvary 

that the judgement be not upon them

I bowed My head and descended to Sheol

The Father Rose Me up again

My exalted body with holes in My hands, My side, and My feet

My Heart is restored to Me

As precious setting of jade and agate and quartz

Now seated at My Right hand

For eternally joyous course

The wrath upon My enemy is secured

his very worse fear fulfilled

The judgement that he holds nothing in Me

True Love outpour, as shimmering turquoise

As white hot fire, Forever received and pure 

Courts of Heaven

Unlocking Destinies from the Courts of Heaven, Robert Henderson 

Keeping your heart

 Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life. Proverbs 4:23

In the Rated Ecclesia post a short while ago, I shared on the urgency for taking stance. The following post could jolt someone awake accordingly. It can also enlighten to a timeline.  

When going through the things I share here, Daniel 7 comes to mind...

He shall speak words against the Most High,

and shall wear out the saints of the Most High,

and shall think to change the times and the law;

and they shall be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time. Dan 7:25

What is wearisome for a Saint? 

Jesus said to His disciples in John 4:34 - 

 My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work.

 

Rest, or Grace, is what Jesus is describing.  The work was bringing Israel to a knowledge of The Father, through belief on the Son.  We see in the Gospels that it did require confrontation with a few demons. But, I just don't think this wearied Jesus. He explained His weariness clearly in an incident with the disciples --

And he answered them, O faithless generation, how long am I to be with you? How long am I to bear with you? Bring him to me. Mark 9:19 

There are many things we may be able to use greater context for in the Scriptures. But, Holy Spirit will meet us instead for the translation. On the surface, I would look at Jesus' comment in Mark 9 as a response to students who'd missed something they shouldn't have been missing. Yet, there isn't clear context for the depth of their shortcoming. 

Was casting out demons something that the disciples should've been versed at by that time?  Or, it could be how they handled their shortcoming that made Jesus express weariness. One thing we know for sure --- His students could've been doing something better.  

Returning to the earlier question, what is wearisome for a Saint ? ..  I believe the context for 'Saint' says is all. 

The work, as Jesus described for His disciples, is to believe. And, if you're engaged in the work, related weariness as described in Daniel 7 is due to a wrestle in continuing to believe. Also described in the Daniel 7 passage, the reason for the wrestle -- those that speak against God. 

This rebellion takes on many forms, especially in the season before us. It all looks the same in the end .. a wearisome display of the rebellious taking stance against God as if they had any chance whatsoever. The longer they are able to go on, the more foolish the pompous display grows. 

Taking stance as a believer in Christ includes knowing foolish and harmless aren't together in the picture - the foolish are detrimentally so.  God will see His Justice for those who are oppressed and broken because of those who refuse His heart. The verse that follows the description of the worn Saints in Daniel 7 will flow also - 

26  But the court shall sit in judgment,

and his dominion shall be taken away,

to be consumed and destroyed to the end.

27  And the kingdom and the dominion

and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven

shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High;

His kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom,

and all dominions shall serve and obey Him.

Moving in agreement with (believing on) God, Who is Justice, I believe is an active stance - needed to be taken now. I believe this starts with having God's heart about what is going on around us. Yes, redemption for all those Christ died for. Even so, deliverance for those oppressed or broken while the pompous who inflict them are in the middle of discovering that they need Jesus as their Savior. 

For I the LORD love justice;

I hate robbery and wrong;

I will faithfully give them their recompense,

and I will make 

an everlasting covenant with them. Isa 61:8

The following review may jolt someone awake into knowing without a doubt, within knowing Who God is, His Justice must come.  

He is Just. 

1999 TV movie

Not a holiday movie, not for kids ... or adults . 

The movie opens with how the lead character has become withdrawn from life. The crisis climaxes in this scene when she's booted out of her brother's home because she tells the child, niece, that santa doesn't exist. 

The scene closes with her brother telling her she isn't welcomed back.

  In this scene, the first programming visual is introduced. When the shot is centered on the main character, the eyeball pic in the corner shows overhead to the left of her - repeated in this shot .

The lead character finds her false redeemer in a meet with a lawyer who wrote a manuscript she hopes will save her job. The lawyer reports the manuscript was inspired by a dream of a relative who had passed away. There's also a cemetery scene in this movie. 

More programming in a shot of the image for one of the lead character's co-worker book projects- that's a red bra over the Capitol building in D.C.

Programming - repeat introduction of information grouped around an intended agenda. The image above is not obviously repeated in this movie, but rather in a host of other media that's fed the unsuspecting masses for decades. 

Occult agendas become increasingly evident as the movie continues . 

 In this scene, the lead arrives for a stay at the lawyer's home, where he promptly points out a poster for his book and the 'gifted'  family eye on the sorceress that his narrative is based on. 

Rev 17:

4 The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. 

5 And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations.

The child version of the lead character shows up as visible only to her and follows her around as a guiding voice to how to start 'living' again. 

 The child also plays the niece character who gets the bad news about santa at the start of the movie. 

Need for the childhood representative concludes by end of the movie with the lead character finding her satisfactory version of prosperity and romance with the lawyer who wrote the manuscript.

The closing scene is of the lead character back at the table with her family members retracting her stance about santa's existence and in company with the lawyer and a child between them. The child is shown with the lawyer family's 'mark' on its forehead as the end credits roll. 





From the obvious to the less obvious --

This movie is marketed as a holiday movie, and an unsuspecting family would sit and watch this movie with their children. Pompousness, through a disturbing series of background messaging, takes the form that occult practice does -- attempt of trying to make it ahead of God's power. 

God's power - His WORD. 

Revelation 19:10 describes that the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. 

In essence, God has the monopoly on past, present and future. 

Declaring the end from the beginning

and from ancient times things not yet done,

saying, My counsel shall stand,

and I will accomplish all my purpose. Isa 46:10

Occult messaging is repetitive in mainstream media, a move to carve out a culture that rebels against God. Culture is a descriptive idea of the setting in which people are moving on one accord in agreement.  God broke up the most destructive form of this at Babel in Genesis 11, dividing a people who would set themselves in agreement against God's will in a way that God said would be successful if they were allowed to remain in agreement.

Through repeat messaging like the one in the movie reviewed here, the culture - soil - around us is made ready for perversions and deviations away from God's Word and the manifestation of His Word in our everyday lives. Like a person who is inclined to one news outlet, the masses have been in training to have a mind in rebellion to God.  Keeping with the note that foolishness does not mean harmless, I move to the next - possibly less considered point - to shed light on the fact. 

The children in the movie reviewed are real children.   Pompousness is satan's language, the enemy who would spare nothing in order to see the most destruction possible. Whether knowingly or unknowingly, the parents of the children in the movie agreed to allow innocence to be a part of the perversion presented in this movie.  The trail has expanded from the movie reviewed here, made 20 years ago, to open witchcraft in much of what children would see marketed directly to them in mainstream media. 
This is why I point out, to anyone who has God's heart for what is going on around us,  it is not hard to get a steady foot on the truth that

Justice must come. 

To many wondering how we could've gotten to where we are today, I draw out a clear point in answer. You cannot train up a whole generation to be in blatant rebellion against God and have a good future society before you. The youth are the future. 

Better put, if a whole generation is lacking the soil for God's Truth, His Word, His vision for them does not take. If we would believe God will not send His Justice swiftly for His little ones, we are missing something deeply about Who God is. If you do understand the point I make here, you may be weary, but still believe --- on Who God is. 

Guard your heart. 

The movie narrative of the movie reviewed here is a look into what the enemy knows -- that 

God knows better. 

What we believe is what conditions our hearts. It is clear in Jesus' Words and parables in the gospels that He came to secure the condition of our hearts. It is here alone that He is able to take root. 

 Be still, and know that I am God.

I will be exalted among the nations,

I will be exalted in the earth! Psa 46:10

In this, we have the guard for our hearts -- what to believe about God Almighty.

In this, also Power .. the same Power that the disciples were equipped with, even as Jesus expressed weariness of a faithless generation because of their expressed shortcoming in Mark 9. 

In these posts, I am sure the Ecclesia is here because of looking the 'other way' too oft for much too long.  The movie I expose in this post is one of too may examples that can be seen of a pompous enemy taking stage. I pray now the Ecclesia sees the giant and yet have hearts safe with God Almighty, believing on Who He is, as David ... with lunch for our brothers in one hand and The Rock in our other.   

May He Roar from This seat in us. Amen 

Isa 61 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me

because the LORD has anointed me

to bring good news to the poor;

he has sent me to bind up the broken hearted, 

to proclaim liberty to the captives,

and the opening of the prison 

to those who are bound;

2  to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor,

and the day of vengeance of our God;

to comfort all who mourn

(vs. 1-2)

Psa 40  I waited patiently for the LORD; He inclined to me 

and heard my cry.

2 He drew me up from the pit 

of destruction,

out of the miry bog,

and set my feet upon a rock,

making my steps secure.

3  He put a new song in my mouth,

a song of praise to our God.

Many will see and fear,

and put their trust in the LORD.

4  Blessed is the man who makes

the LORD his trust, who does not turn to the proud, to those who go astray after a lie!

5 You have multiplied, O LORD 

my God,

Your wondrous deeds and Your thoughts toward us;

none can compare with You!

I will proclaim and tell of them,

yet they are more than

 can be told.

6 In sacrifice and offering You have

 not delighted,

but You have given me an open ear.

Burnt offering and sin offering

You have not required.

7  Then I said, “Behold, I have come;

in the scroll of the book

 it is written of me:

8 I delight to do your will, O my God; Your law is within my heart.”

9 I have told the glad news of 

deliverance

in the great congregation;

behold, I have not restrained

 my lips,

as you know, O LORD.

(vs. 1-9)

In History - Feb 12

 In the Feb 12 issue of the Pentecostal Evangel, Carrie Judd Montgomery (1858-1946) wrote an article on the steps of faith taken by Abraham 1938  

Carrie Judd Montgomery grew up the middle of eight children and gave her life to Christ at the age of 11. For two years, Carrie suffered the injury of a fall when only in her teens. Through suffering that made her sensitive to even the feel of her blankets, she read W. W. Patton's book Remarkable Answers to Prayer. And, it was through Patton's message that Carrie gained conviction God could answer prayer for healing. 

In 1879, Carrie's  father read about the healing of Sarah Ann Freeman Mix, an African American woman who had been healed of tuberculosis. Sarah had a ministry of praying for the sick, and Carrie followed by asking her sister to send a letter to Mix for prayer. Sarah replied, asking Carrie's family to trust God and to believe in the promise of James 5:15  -

Sarah also asked the family to pray at a specific time, on Feb 26, assuring that her prayer group would also be praying during that time. After following through in faith, Carrie was miraculously healed by God. 

A piece written about her healing was published in the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser in Oct 1880. Well received, Carrie wrote her testimony and began to widely distribute it, 'The Prayer of Faith' (1880).  The book became one of the first theological writings on divine healing through the power of of Jesus' atonement.  In the Feb 12 issue of Pentecostal Evangel 1938, Carrie wrote on the steps of faith taken by Abraham. She explains in the article --

When you really hear God speak through His Word it is as easy to believe as it is to take your next breath. If you have ever had an experience of this kind, the memory of it will always encourage you to trust Him yet again. -- Carrie Judd Montgomery, Pentecostal Evangel 1938

The man who Carrie would later marry was healed in prayer from  John Alexander Dowie in 1888, and he was a believer of divine healing. Carrie and her husband, George S. Montgomery established the ‘Home of Peace’ in 1893, as a place of refreshing for missionaries.

Listen to reading of one of Carrie's sermons in this video, where she shares on some of her faith journey to healing.
