Pursuing Intimacy With God: Grace of Recording (Writing Down Revelations from God)
Mark 4:25 “Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.””
Dear Abba Father,
We want to thank You and praise You! As we seek You, You often speak to us in various ways. Help us take them seriously and write them down. Oh Father, You have taught us that “whoever has will be given more!” (Mark 4:25) Lord, You know that we have been foolish people who often fail to treasure Your precious revelations to us. Often it can be an inspiration from Your Word, a dream or a vision, yet we did not take them seriously and write them down immediately. Soon we forgot them…
Today, in the secret place, Father, we want to ask for grace to write down the revelations You give us. Help us not to be foolish people, but who will treasure what You say and treat Your revelations like nuggets of gold. Help us write them down earnestly, so that we can cherish them and meditate upon them at any time. Oh Father, may we be worthy of Your trust! Whenever You speak, we will listen, write down, and run after You. Help us walk the path of eternal life with a sense of direction and a sense of mission until we see You face to face. Thank You for granting us grace upon grace every day. Father, how we love You!
In the name of Lord Jesus we pray, Amen!
Repentance for Church 08
- John 14:12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
- Ephesians 4:7-12 But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. This is why it says: “When he ascended on high, he took many captives and gave gifts to his people.” (What does “he ascended” mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
【Background : The first church established by the Lord Jesus through the Holy Spirit and the apostles was a church full of power, strength, and boldness and courage. With the authority given by the Lord Jesus, to preach the gospel of the kingdom of God, to drive away evil spirits, to heal sickness and diseases, to cleanse the leprosy, raise the dead, and even under persecution, still stand firm in the name of the Lord. To the point of martyrdom, a church and the enemy could not overcome.
Since when, the church we knew had become magnificent building with four walls, a cold and powerless ritual, believers thought that as long as they go to Sunday service, they could go to heaven. Lord Jesus said, all thing is possible, for those those who believe in Him, and they can do greater thing. (John 14:12) The Lord Jesus gave the church the apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors, teachers, the fivefold ministry, for the equipping of the saints, doing their part, to establish the body of Christ. These type of church are not many in this generation. What we see are big churches, famous speakers, crusades, saints who are not being fed in the church, desperately chasing after special meetings, even fall asleep in worship services, Christians attending church on Sunday, lives the same kind of life style like unbelievers. They cannot see the glory of God. We also lack apostle to lead and establish churches. We replaced the five-fold position established by Jesus with the management system of the pastor and deacon. Some pastors even think that they can fulfill the position of fivefold. The believers put all their needs on the pastor, and even expect the pastor to be like Jesus Christ, or they chase after anointed ministers. When the pastor can’t achieve what is expected, they blame, criticize, judge, and they rarely pray for the pastor and leaders, so that the pastor often encounters attacks, weakness, disease, depression, abandonment, and even death. 】
Abba Father! Please forgive our sins. We come humbly before You. We confess that we are weak and helpless, blind, and deaf. We thought that we were rich, but we were poor. We thought that we were faithful, but we forsook the First love. We thought we were walking in God’s way but we had fallen into the snare of the evil one and not realized it. Lord Jesus! Give us eye drop to cleanse our eyes, open our eyes, open our ears, baptize us with the fire of the Holy Spirit, rebuild Your body with great power and ability. Raise up Your children to grow and nature, understand one’s identity, power and authority, calling and destiny, in one heart and one mind. According to the functions of each body and position, neatly joined together, so the glory of Your temple (Your body) will be greater than the formal one. The church will not only preach the gospel of the kingdom of God, but also teach the lessons that Jesus passed to the apostles of the first generation to establish the saints, to disciple nations, and magnify the glory of the Father!
In the holy name of Jesus Christ, Amen!

Pray for Israel: Repent for the Church and Bless Israel
【Background: Two thousand years ago, the gospel of the Kingdom of God, passed down from the Jews of early church to the Gentiles, greatly impacted the whole world far and wide. But Satan has blinded the Gentile Christians making us believe that God has rejected the Jews and replaced Israel with the church. However, God’s people began to see the truth when they saw the restoration of the modern day Israel fulfilling the prophecy of the Bible. We finally understand that the election of the Jews is irrevocable and that God’s covenant with Abraham is an eternal covenant.
During the forty days of prayer and fasting, as we anticipate the arrival of the Jewish New Year – 5780, we hope to see more Gentile churches being stirred up to fervently intercede for the salvation and peace of Jerusalem, that the nations would once again see her in God’s glory. 】

- 2 Corinthians 1:4 “who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.”
- Isaiah 66:10 ““Rejoice with Jerusalem and be glad for her, all you who love her; rejoice greatly with her, all you who mourn over her.”
- Exodus 2:24 “God heard their groaning and he remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac and with Jacob.”
- Micah 6:8 “He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.”
【PRAYER】
- Repent for the Church: Abba Father, You are the God who is, who was and who is to come. Forever You change not and Your election of the Jews is irrevocable. Oh Father, we repent before You; forgive the church’s years of neglect and opposition toward Your chosen people. We falsely believed that You have rejected them and that the church has replaced Israel, thus giving the evil a foothold to harm her. Oh Father, we ask that You would give us the love of Christ to love them and intercede for them. Oh, raise up more watchmen to call on the Lord day or night for Jerusalem. Let us not be silent and give ourselves no rest. Let us give You no rest till You establish Jerusalem and make her the praise of the earth.
- Pray for Israel’s Salvation: Abba Father, we pray for Israel and call out to her! Awake o Israel, cease from your slumber! Oh Father, release Your truth and set her free. Israel shall know her Redeemer in the Year of Jubilee. Father, out of the furnace of much affliction, You have chosen her; You will give her gold for brass and silver for iron. Oh Israel, Jesus has redeemed you and Father has chosen you and graven You on His palms. Oh Israel, you shall know your Redeemer as you call out to Him, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.”

Revival Testimony:The Great Awakening Revival Movement of the Eighteenth Century
Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758), known as the Puritan prince, is still considered to be the best theologian in the United States, the main leader of the American Great Awakening Revival Movement in the 18th century, and also regarded as the pioneer of philosophical thinking in the United States. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, when rationalism was rising (which brought about naturalism). The rational supremacy blocked the spiritual life of the church. Edwards was able to combine spiritual life with rational thinking. And lived out the life that was both rigorous and energetic. He also injected his passion into the orthodox theology that was ice cold at that time, so that theology really became the driving force for the renewal of the church. In his ministry, we saw that theology and spiritual life were complementary and inseparable. Faith and life, theology and the Holy Spirit, reason and passion were not mutually exclusive or extreme. Through Edward’s life, revival movement and theological thoughts, we have a lot to meditate on. Edward was born on October 5, 1703 in Connecticut on the east coast of the United States, ranking fifth among eleven brothers and sisters. Both parents were born in a Puritan family: the father was the pastor of the Congregational Church; he was greatly influenced by religious education at home. … Detailed Reading
Sharing of Words: Higher Expectations! – Timely Instruction To The Zadok Priesthood By Bobby Conner
The Lord is looking for a people whose heart is right with Him, so that He can fully support all that they are doing (see 2 Chronicles 16:9. The Spirit of Truth is raising up leaders that will teach the people the vast difference between what is pure and what is profane (see Ezekiel 44:23). It is crucial that we walk in uprightness if we are to ascend the hill of the Lord (see Psalms. 24:3-4).
As we embrace accountability then we can be trusted with more true authority. Christ Jesus informed us that if we are faithful over little we will become ruler over much more. On the other hand if we fail to handle small things correctly even the small things are in danger of being removed. It is required of a steward that he be found faithful. … Detailed Reading

Pray For USA: Keep the Children off ‘Puberty Blocker Treatment’
- Romans 1:26 That’s why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other. And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.
- 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? You do not belong to yourself, for God bought you with a high price. So you must honor God with your body.
【Current Event :Students across the nation soon be returning to classrooms may encounter their new-former friends whose gender is changed through either hormone therapy or undergone ‘gender change’ surgery. (Ro. 1:26-27)
Gender Identifier Drugs
Today, children as young as 8 years old are being given ‘untested experiment’ drugs to find out their gender identity, much is pushed by Gender activists and the small selected groups within the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (WPATH), but increasingly supportive from many medical establishment. Opposing medical experts claimed these drugs actually could cause heart and bone problems and stunt brain growth, condemned it’s a form of ‘child abuse’.
‘Puberty Blockers Treatment’ Drug is given to girl child who identified as a boy, to prevent her from going through the natural human process (puberty). The effects of these hormones medicines are not fully known, but some negative side effects have been widely reported. These children will turn into sex hormone-dependent. NIH (National Institute of Health) recommended kids as young as 8 years take opposite-sex hormones. NIH is strongly funded for study on mastectomies done on girls as young as 13.
‘Child Abuse’ here applies to a child cannot consent of being harmed in a medical study, or in a medical setting, unaware of such harms. Transgender ‘treatments’ experiments on those could not consent because their lack of intellectual capacity or emotional maturity, nor understanding the consequences of what’s going to happen to them.
Political group (WPATH), World Professional Association for Transgender Health is pushing on younger and younger children, pressured guidelines to the Endocrine Society and the American Academy of Pediatrics on opposite-sex treatments (gender identity). Dr. Michael Laidlaw of the Endocrine Society is working to counter gender activists. To educate parents that puberty medicines could not stop the puberty of a boy to turn into girl and becoming a woman is not possible. (1 Cor. 6:19-20)

Pray for The First Nation : First Nations in Turtle Island – Choctaw Seek Gathering Praise Report

We believe Brian and Jennifer’s praise reports are just the beginning of the revival among the First Nations. The greater revival is just around the corner! Here is Jennifer’s praise report:
The Seek Gathering was an appointed time by Holy Spirit for beginning of
transformation amongst the Choctaw People.
Resolve the Enmity of White and Black Choctaws Before the Gathering
Before we got to the meeting the Lord was having the Choctaws, the elders and other people deal with the disunity that was sown into the land. Prior to the meeting the Lord spoke to me about dealing with the
Freedmen issue. The Freedmen were slaves of the Choctaws back from the 1800’s. It was said that the Choctaws were harsh to their slaves. So harsh that eventually it provoked the slaves to kill their masters. Also, the Choctaws did not want to give them land once they were free. So the government stepped into the matter gave the Freedmen land and took more from the Choctaws.
Thursday(8/1) we had a team that was Joe Donnell, a white Choctaw and a black Choctaw (Freedmen descendant), myself and we met with two elders who are full blooded Choctaw. We met at the corner of Southeast Oklahoma, the location of the history between the Choctaws and slaves. At that moment God began to break generational curses with Choctaws and African Americans. There was a reconciliation, forgiveness and unity to move forward. Then we celebrated about the transformation God began.
Find the True Identity of the First Nation
By the time we make it to the meeting Holy Spirit led us into repentance. We realized that night we were throwing all of the burden we put on ourselves. The Lord had me share the calling of the Choctaws in this hour for the First Nations People. We hold a key that unlocks healing, Unity and Family. We will step into this if we are as One, and His Kingdom is established through the fivefold and His government will have no ending. This is the Kingdom! Then one of the Apostles of the Choctaw people asked all of us an important question so we can ask God. He asked us to ask God, “what is my part in Your great plan?” This was very key because it has to do with identity.
That first night we dealt with the orphan spirit, and then Holy Spirit pulled us into our true identity. Most importantly we all were directed to walk in relationship with the Lord about our lives.
Correct the Status of Men and Women in the Kingdom of God
The next morning(8/3) Spirit had the men speak to women. A male teacher address the incorrect teaching about women. This was very important because in this region the women have been devalued in God’s Kingdom. The Word does say wives submit, but it also says love your wife. Also the word says there is no Greek, nor Jew, nor male or female. The man is supposed to love his wife to bring her up to his equal.
Spiritual Birth
That day we also dealt with some other things that were in our culture that are not Holy to the Lord and brought a spirit of death. We stepped into this together and then we had a birth during one of the settings. Actually, it was me who birthed this and one of my best friends. I felt life come forth from this time.
After that there was a revelation that came forth in regards to tithes. In the middle of that revelation one of the elders gets up and says that is the one thing the early missionaries never taught the First Nations People was to tithe. This tithe revelation went into how our Daddy God won’t allow the devour to touch what He’s doing. That brought a lot of insight to us about how the enemy was able to destroy our people.
More Revelation on Enemy’s Tricks
From that meeting we received more revelation of how the enemy set up our
people and stole almost everything. The enemy uses the Word as his strategy to rob
us, and now we are seeing the traps he set up on our lands.
Choctaw’s Calling: Watchmen
One of the important words that came forth from these meetings are we are watchmen. That is a big role for the Choctaws in the Kingdom. We are being held and coming together as a family to take our watchmen positions and we are going to help our First Nations brothers and sisters to know their position too. We are believing to see the transformation on our land and people. This meeting brought many people who have had visions and dreams of the Glory all over the land and people. It’s more than just a feeling of Oneness but it is also to see the transformation. We have already begun to see the firstfruit of those prayers that went forth.
Firstfruits of the Seek Gathering
Our Choctaw National Day of Prayer is September 1, and for the first time we will have the Chief from Oklahoma and the Chief from Mississippi come together to pray for the Choctaw People. 】

Christian leaders hold various forms of prayer meetings in different regions. On September 6, nearly 80 churches held partition prayers. Young people who love the Lord and love Hong Kong have started the 7/24 Prayer Wall for HK from September 4 to September 30, believing that He listens to prayers, hoping to bring breakthroughs to the city.continue through 7/24 hours prayers .
Please continue to stand and pray with our Hong Kong family until God’s will is accomplished.

In his ministry, we saw that theology and spiritual life were complementary and inseparable. Faith and life, theology and the Holy Spirit, reason and passion were not mutually exclusive or extreme. Through Edward’s life, revival movement and theological thoughts, we have a lot to meditate on. Edward was born on October 5, 1703 in Connecticut on the east coast of the United States, ranking fifth among eleven brothers and sisters. Both parents were born in a Puritan family: the father was the pastor of the Congregational Church; he was greatly influenced by religious education at home.
In 1716, he entered Yale College and received a rigorous humanities training. He was fluent in Latin, Greek, and Hebrew. In theology, he was particularly interested in the ideas of Newton and Locke (the 17th-century British philosopher, Locke’s parents were Puritans), and these two had become tremendous influence in his future. After graduated from college in 1720, he continued to study in theology at school. On January 12, 1723, he made an important confession before God. He said, “I solemnly dedicated myself to God and recorded this event. I gave up myself and everything I have and gave it all to God; From then on, no matter what, there is no self; In everything I do, no matter what, I have no right for myself. I solemnly swear that my whole body and mind and happiness are in the hands of God; Beside Him, there is nothing else in the world that can be my happiness.” When he graduated from the Institute in 1724, he ranked first in the class. Yale University invited him to return to school as a teaching assistant. In 1727 he had a spiritual experience, recognizing the absolute authority of God and the dependence of man on God.
Revival fire
In 1729, he was appointed as the pastor of the Northampton Anglican Church (position formerly held by his grandfather). He and other local pastors felt that the church was lethargic. Not only in the life of faith, and also in moral life. He was so worried about the human soul that he wanted to reform this situation many times. So he started the reformation with sermons. In 1733, Edwards’ two sermons: “The Holy Spirit directly shines the light of God’s supernatural light on the heart” and “justification by faith”, had caused great resounding effect among believers. It was a reflection of one’s own spiritual conditions, and the power of the Holy Spirit began to work in the heart. In 1734, two young people died in the town, but before their death, they were completely enlightened by the Holy Spirit, and they began to witness the grace of God before they passed away. Because of this, Edwards encouraged everyone to participate in the gathering and engage in talking about faith, instead of wasting life in entertainment or vain talking. In less than a few months, more than 300 people in his congregation acknowledged the name of Christ and began to show signs of revival. And the influence spread to all parts of the East, town after town experienced revival. This was the beginning of the Great Awakening.
In 1735, the phenomenon of revival cooled down slightly to brew a wave of greater waves, but the spiritual influence began to deepen, so he had time to record this movement in detail, and to reflect on theology. He believed that revival was God’s Grace manifested in the renewal of both body and heart. In 1737, he finally wrote and reported on the spiritual revival phenomenon, the book titled “Faithful Narrative of the Surprising Work of God”, which was published in London and Boston. By the end of 1738, it had been republished many times. This book had been widely read and prepared for another wave of “Great Awakening Movement.”
As the work of God continued, the number of true saints multiplied, and soon the town experienced magnificent changes; therefore, in the spring and summer that followed 1735, God seemed to have come to town personally: people was full of love, joy like never before, but also full of repentance. God could be seen working in almost every home. Many families were filled with joy because of receiving salvation; parents rejoiced in their children’s salvation; husbands and wives rejoice in the salvation of their spouse ”
Great Awakening Movement
Because of Edward’s book on the revival movement, this influence not only reached United States but also into the United Kingdom. In 1740, the evangelist George Whitefield (1714-1770) came from United Kingdom to the east coast of the United States for evangelical tours. The fire of the revival was rekindled. When The news of his preaching came out, and the workers within 10 miles radius immediately put down their tools in the shops and in the farm fields to come to the meeting. There were thousands of people in the audience. The church building couldn’t accommodate it. The preaching were mostly done outdoors. People come in groups to accept Jesus Christ. The Great Awakening Movement reached its peak in 1740, and Northampton became the center again. Edwards also became a central figure.
On July 8, 1741, he preached his most famous sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” in Enfield, Connecticut. The fire of revival that Whitefield ignited has burned all over New England. This sermon was extremely powerful, but Edward was preaching in a peaceful and steady way not an emotional scream, he put his left hand on the podium. Read the sermon in his right hand, the scripture in his sermons are in Deuteronomy 32:35: “It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them
At that moment, the Holy Spirit began to move greatly. The congregation could not control their emotions and began to confess, repent and wept. Some rolled on the floor, and some held on to the seats or the pillar of the church. Obviously at that time, they felt their feet were slipping into hell. Their cries sometimes even drowned the voices of the speakers. They called on the mercy of God. For the whole night, the entire town of Enfield Seems to be facing a great enemy. Great cries can be heard from almost every house, pleading for God to save them.
For the “Great Awakening Movement”, some rationalists hold the attitude of ridicule and negation. They maintained their cold etiquette, boring sermons, and not interested in revival; the other was extremes, excited emotions, and out of order. Unrestrained noise, which brought a bad name to the Great Awakening Movement and opposition. Edwards needed to face situations on both sides. On one hand, he needs to make theological defense for revival as fact. On the other hand, he has to deal with the misunderstanding of the work of the Holy Spirit in the revival movement. His greatest contribution lies in his experience of being filled with the Holy Spirit and the gift of the Holy Spirit, providing a theological basis and pastoral guidance, freeing the church from the doctrine of keeping the doctrine but being lifeless, challenging the balance of believers of the importance of spiritual experiences and sentiment of faith.
On June 22, 1750, the Northampton Anglican Church dismissed Edward Edward Pastor by 230 votes against 23 votes. Because he decided that only those who is truly born again and who have good moral character can be qualified to receive the Holy Communion (and at that time the church allowed the unsaved people to participate in the Holy Communion), because of the persistence of Edwards some of indulged youths were being accused, their parents felt they had lost face and those opposed him, took the opportunity to stir things up, causing the dismissal of a pastor that had served the Lord for 24 years. Later he moved to the church in another town to evangelize the Indians. In 1757, he was appointed as the principal of Princeton University. He took office in January 1758. At that time, the plague broke out in Princeton, unfortunately he was infected with the measles by injecting the vaccine. He died on March 22 at the age of 56.
Edward’s life exalted God’s supreme sovereignty, human original sin and corruption, God’s grace and glory. He valued the knowledge of the truth, but also valued religious experiences . He was convinced that a person who is truly saved must have the Holy Spirit as the mark in his heart. His external life behavior will certainly reflect the reality of his inner life.
The Great Awakening Movement had a positive impact, but there were also very fierce oppositions. Some people thought that the revival was just an show of emotional fanatic, especially the physical reaction in the revival; they thought that some people were imitating others, the revival phenomenon was nothing but a collective hysteria; or think that the preacher described the scene of hell so terrible to scare the people. Therefore, Edward replied to the above misunderstandings with the “Religious Sentiment” and proposed the basis for the Bible to prove the work of the Holy Spirit.
- Concerning strong emotional expression: even if our emotions are strong, we cannot prove that it is spiritual or not. Some people blamed every strong emotional expression. They were biased against anyone who had strong emotions toward God or spiritual things, thinking that such people were deceived. However, emotion does play a big role in the true faith. If there is a rich and true faith in our human life, inevitably, it will produce rich emotions. Love is an emotion. Can any Christian say that we should not feel deep hated and grief towards sin? Or should we not thank Him deeply for the compassion of God? Or should we not be eager in pursuing God and holiness? I Peter 1:8 ‘, “Filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy,” which expresses strong emotions; indeed, the Bible often requires us to have strong emotions. In the first and the greatest commandment, “Love the Lord Your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength” (Mark 12:30) . The Bible also commands us to rejoice greatly ” But May the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; may they be happy and joyful ” (Ps 68:3) . When the Bible records the experiences of believers, they often express their strong emotions. The author of psalm: “How I love Your law” ( Ps .119:97 ). It is proven that high religious feelings are not necessarily a manifestation of fanaticism. Therefore, if we only accuse someone of being a fanatic because of strong emotions, that will be serious mistakes. But on the other hand, our passionate feelings do not prove that they are really spiritual. The Bible shows that some people who are not really saved will be very passionate about religion. For example, in the Old Testament, when the Israelites crossed the Red Sea in the Egyptian exile, their emotions were greatly arose, so they sang praises to Him then, which is recorded in Exodus15:1-21; but soon they forget His deeds.
- Concerning special reaction in the body : We must not judge by the “human body reaction” to determine whether or not God is working. Because even if our body reacts greatly by emotions, we cannot prove that it is spiritual or not. Emotion has influence on the body because of the intimate connection between the body and the soul, the flesh and the heart. Therefore, it is not surprising that strong emotions have a great impact on the body. However, strong emotions may come from the flesh or the spirit. Therefore, a physical influence cannot prove that the experience is only physical, or really spiritual. But a strong and profound spiritual emotion can indeed have a great impact on the body. The psalmist said: “My soul yearns, even faints, for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh cry out to the living God.” (Psalm 84:2) , it also shows that there is a clear distinction between soul and body. There are many records of the glory of God in the Bible, and a strong physical influence on those who see the glory of God. For example, Daniel said,“So I was left alone, gazing at this great vision; and I had no strength left, my face turned deathly pale and I was helpless” (Den. 10:8) . This is also the reaction of the apostle John when he saw the vision: ” When I saw Him, I fell at His feet, as though dead” (Rev. 1:17).
- Concerning the message about hell: If the preacher often preached sincerely and gently about God’s law being so awesome and holy, and thus bring revival, some say that this revival came because the preacher used the lake of fire in hell to intimidate the congregation. This argument is not without reason. If there is pain and suffering that will never cease, and if there is hell, and if many people are very likely go to hell, then of course they need to be warned! If most people, even those in the so-called Christian countries, will eventually go to hell, then it is necessary to warn them! We must tell them the truth as much as possible. In a worldly crisis. people can not take it lightly.
- Verification of the work of God : If one is more respectful and admires Jesus, it is a clear sign of the work of the Holy Spirit. For example, a person: 1) is convinced that he needs Christ and is brought before Him; 2) believes that Christ has appeared in human history; 3) is more convinced that Christ is the Son of God and is sent by God to save sinners; 4). Recognize that He is the only Savior and a sense of great need for Him; 5). Devote in Him more and admire Him more than before. We are certain that this is work of the Holy Spirit.

Sharing of Words: Timely Instruction To The Zadok Priesthood By Bobby Conner
The Lord is looking for a people whose heart is right with Him, so that He can fully support all that they are doing (see 2 Chronicles 16:9. The Spirit of Truth is raising up leaders that will teach the people the vast difference between what is pure and what is profane (see Ezekiel 44:23). It is crucial that we walk in uprightness if we are to ascend the hill of the Lord (see Psalms. 24:3-4).
As we embrace accountability then we can be trusted with more true authority. Christ Jesus informed us that if we are faithful over little we will become ruler over much more. On the other hand if we fail to handle small things correctly even the small things are in danger of being removed. It is required of a steward that he be found faithful.
The message of the book of Jude is blasting out to this end-time Church age. The warning is all too clear, if we do not return to the Acts of the Apostles we will continue to see the Actions of the Apostates. It is imperative that we become contenders and defenders of the faith (see Jude2-3).
In a vivid prophetic experience the Spirit of the Lord spoke these encouraging words to me.
1. Accept No Imitations!
2. Expect No Limitations!
3. Embrace Infinite Possibilities!
As we aspire to make these three areas a living reality in our life, we will see the Church being launched into a much higher level.
Accept No Imitations!
Artificial, counterfeit, synthetic are but a few of the words that help us to grasp a better understanding of the word imitation. I once asked the president of a leading bank, “How do you detect a counterfeit or bogus bill?” His answer was profound, he said “the best way to expose phony money is to have someone that is so accustomed to handling the real that when they touch a fake something within them instantly sets off a warning.” This is what the Body of Christ must have true intimacy with Jesus. We must become so accustomed to His voice that we are not moved by the enticing of a stranger’s voice (see John 10:3-5). We cannot continue to spend our life for that which is worthless, everything that is wood hay and stubble must be removed from our Christian walk.
It is crucial for the Church to commence walking in true apostolic authority. However, if we are going to be trusted with a higher level of authority, resulting in true Kingdom power, it is essential for us to walk in integrity and uprightness. The writer of the book of Hebrews instructs us to pursue peace as well as purity for without it we will not see the Lord (see Hebrews 12:14). The Lord spoke these encouraging words to me, “If I can find a people without mixture, I will pour out My power without measure.” There will emerge a group of “overcomers”, walking in true kingdom power (see Revelation 3:20-22).
Three questions arise in my heart:
“If not you… who?
If not here… where?
If not now… when?
Teaching The Truth
I was recently in North Dakota and it began to rain the most wonderful sweet slow rain. I asked the Lord what is this rain a sign of? In response I heard, “The substantial rainfall signified the anointed teaching that is being released through the emerging Zadok priesthood.” These anointed priests will begin to authenticate that which is holy and divulge that which is profane (see Ezekiel44:23). God is moving the Body of Christ from information to impartation.
The Spirit of Truth is seeking to establish each one of us in truth which is our only method of sanctification. It is time to take a stand for righteousness and holiness, grace is not a license to live loose. In our attempts to appear politically correct, have we drifted far from the calling to stand for truth and righteousness? Only as we return to true holiness of heart can we be vessels of honor. This will allow us to be sanctified in truth and presentable to the Lord as a consecrated vessel. The Call is clear, we must present the truth in order for true freedom to reign in the hearts of man (see John 8:32). God is calling each of us to embrace the conditions of 2 Corinthians 7:1.
What is the difference between the profane and the holy? The Lord said what He called profane was anything we are doing that He did not initiate. Remember the words of Christ Jesus when He states “depart from Me you worker of iniquity, I never knew you.” These words were spoken to a person who had been very involved in religious activity; however, not truly trusting Christ (see Matthew13-27). Christ Jesus commanded, “Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth” (see John 17:1). As believers, we are to have upright lives which are characterized by genuine authentic lifestyles of faith. Our walk must match our talk, if we are to have a message that will legitimately change lives.
The Zadok Priesthood
The fundamental purpose of the Zadok priesthood is to minister unto the Lord as described in Ezekiel 44.
“But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me to offer Me the fat and the blood,” says the Lord GOD.
“They shall enter My sanctuary, and they shall come near My table to minister to Me, and they shall keep My charge” (Ezekiel 44:15-16).
This signifies an emphasis on the five fold ministry of prophetic teachers as they prepare the Body of Christ to receive the strong prophetic and apostolic ministries yet to be truly inaugurated.
Character Not Just Giftings
Many feel a sense of disorientation at this time, this is the result of being upon the “Potter’s” wheel. However be assured the Master Potter Himself is about to touch the soft pliable clay and soon we will bear His image. We are in a time of transition which will produce transformation. Our responsibility is to remain soft and moist, yielded upon the Master’s wheel. If we attempt to mold ourselves, or if we allow ourselves to become dry and brittle we must be broken and remolded. It is a must that we stay moist and surrendered.
Presently, these emerging leaders are in a season of sifting and pruning the refiners fire is forging their character to carry this unique anointing. They will be the leaders and counselors who will not judge by what their eyes see nor what their ears hear, but in true righteousness they will make decisions resulting in equity and justice.
The refiners fire is absolutely purifying these leaders so the anointing will not be lost nor the wineskins damaged or destroyed for lack of character. It will be a true impartation of the divine nature and holy character established in the spirit and soul of the Lord’s leadership.
Please don’t forget the wonderful promise given by The Spirit of God , “If I can find a people without mixture, I will pour out my power without measure.” Again let me impress upon each of us the mandate to embrace the promise of purity found in II Corinthians 7:1. The results of this embrace will be the identifying of us as the sons and daughters of Almighty God. What an awesome motivation for purity.
The Spirit of Truth is calling for each of us to walk as did the true Zadok priests. These priests had the responsibility of modeling and maintaining the highest standards of morality, self-control, and self-denial. They were charged with the ministry of teaching the people how to distinguish between what is Godly and ungodly (see Ezekiel 44:15-23).
There is a vast difference between deception and denial. Many today are actually walking in deception because they do not know that they have departed from the true path of righteousness. However many are also aware of their wanderings, but choose to walk in denial of the fact that they have turned away from their first love. We must face our artificial allegiance to Christ and become genuine, authentic, and unadulterated in our walk with Christ.
Expect No Limitations
The question is posed, “Is there anything too hard for the LORD?” (Genesis 18:14). The prophet Jeremiah answers this question stating; “Ah, Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee” (Jeremiah 32:17). The cry of our soul must be.God nothing is impossible with YOU (see Luke 1:37). If we would expect more, I am sure God would release more. According unto your faith be it unto you. Let’s pray for big faith, that moves the hand of God (see Mark 11:21-24). Now is the time to think big, God can do anything. It is time to expect more, believe for more, and ask for more. Paul the apostle reminded us that “God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all we could ask or think according to the power that is at work within each of us (see Ephesians 3:20-21). I want to share some of the faith building statements of saints.
“There are boundless possibilities for us, if we dare to act in God and dare to believe.” – Smith Wigglesworth
“The only limit to the power of God lies within the individual.” – Kathryn Kulhman
“It is when active faith dares to believe God to the point of action that something has to happen.” Kathryn Kulhman
Embrace Infinite Possibilities
In order to embrace someone we must seek to draw near reaching forth our hand, taking hold, bringing them near to our heart. A true embrace is heart to heart, there is no such thing as a distant embrace. We cannot embrace this coming move of God at a distance. He is calling each of us to draw nearer to Him. It is time to come aside to know His heart. In Psalms 46:10 we are instructed to be still and know that He is the Lord. It is only as we behold His face that we are truly changed into His divine image (see II Corinthians 3:18). So I encourage you to meditate upon these promises. If we will accept no imitation and walk in unadulterated union with Christ, all the while seeking to have an indisputable relationship with Christ Jesus, then we can expect no limitations. It is time now to begin to embrace these infinite possibilities.
