“Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity [agape~love], I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.” 1Corinthians 13:1
Paul is clearly informing us that the ability to, “speak with tongues of men and of angels”, exists in the realm of the spirit. The caveat is, make it known that the “speaker” must operate in love.
Jesus saturated His ministry and His mission in prayer. It is Christ, above all others that focuses our attention on the connection between His ministry and the “effectiveness” of prayer. Prayer is the “source” of His power. This is why it is taught that we should, “emulate the person that was most effective in prayer.” Christ was that person.
*Greater works than these shall you do in My Name…
I hope these words draw you in and take up permanent residence at the gates in which all your thoughts must pass. During these 21 Days, (the next 18 remaining) be so very careful that you guard your spirit. Set a watch over your tongue, be slow to speak, hold back words from the atmosphere with all your might, that need not be spoken at all, or at this time. Guard your ear gates, from all the noise. Create an atmosphere conducive for the spirit of GOD to take up residence.
What might the outcome be if you create a mik’dash, a dwelling place for the LORD to allow Him to inhabit your spiritual residence with total access to your temple? i.e. the temple inside of you built without hands.
ALLOW EVERYTHING to work together for your good and the good of those around you, during this time. Allow it.
SEE the good in EVERYTHING. Call good forth. Find it if you have to. Saturate adversity with words of power, truth, good and light. No more ordinary speech.
Treasure your speech. Your words, prayers, visions, dreams, praise, these each contain all the wealth and riches of the Kingdom that you need in order to produce change in this world. Your garments of light are available once more. Clothe yourself in garments of light and truth.
Allow this 21 Days to usher you in to destiny defined moments. It’s time for the greater works!
We’ve all desired the increase of good into the world.
You are that increase for good.
AMEN.
ággelos [angels] can refer to “a human messenger” such as John the Baptist, Mt 11:10, Mal 3:1; Lk 7:24, 9:52. It is also used in reference to heavenly angels (150 x+) in the New Testament, i.e. spiritual beings created by God to serve in assisting mankind and bringing forth the purpose of God. Light & Truth are the Words of the LORD. Ref: *John 14:12, John 5:20, John 16:13, 1 Cor 12:31, Isaiah 58:11, Psalm 119:30,
Coincidence nor happenstance brought you to this message. You eye caught hold of it. Keep note of what your eye catches hold of during this time. Be mindful. Connect the dots between what resonates with your hearing and your sight. No one needs to prophecy to you. Determine to SEE & HEAR what the Spirit is saying. It cost very little to pay attention. The rewards can be great.
In this 21 Day Season, there is a message of transformation for you. Hold your vision in your mind, with heartfelt devotion. From the time you were translated into the kingdom you were required to shift from the culture of the world to the culture of the Kingdom.
Being a powerless Christian is a decision. A decision to remain in the dark.
Now, Your ability to articulate your vision, is risen to higher heights. We command your past to be silent. Only your future has permission to speak. Be clothe in the light of GOD shifting atmospheres as you pass by. In this season, you will permanently accept your power, influence, dominion, and success. Accept your new level of access to prophetic realms, witty inventions, trade secrets of the kingdom, You will no longer be without answers, revelation knowledge, insights or wisdom. Accept prophetic recall of your dreams and visions, calling the dry bones in every place of your past, back to life. Decree life to your prophetic assignments, new connections and kingdom relationships. Command that the kingdom visions, insights and assignments that you are pursuing are now pursuing you. Hear your calling, it is calling you. Decree divine alignment.
The Kingdom of Heaven is Within You!
Final Word of Wisdom today from a Prophetess of GOD: Hold your self accountable for your greatness. More importantly, who holds you accountable for your greatness? Find someone to hold you accountable to operate in your Kingdom Gifts and Responsibilities and bring the vision forth with all intensity of forethought.
Ref: Col 1:13, Matthew 4: 16, 2Corinthians 4:3-6, 1 John 1:7, Ephesians 1:18-23, Psalm 119:105, Acts 26:18
The next 21 days will be set aside for prayer and prophecy over GOD’s People (June 27 through July 18th, 2021). Attached are the calendars for June and July providing the timeline for the 21 days of prayer.
Let this be the beginning of days for each of us in the manifestation of prophecy, that all GODs people shall prophecy as the LORD originally desired. May these generations on earth be ready now for prophecy, for the meat of the word, for insight and understanding. I pray that the attributes of prophecy overflow into our lives. Let the anointing rest on you as it did on the Mighty Men of David, who prophesied with sound. These are the Elite Mighty Men of David, the formidable forces and leaders of his band. Their prayers caused them to operate as the host of heaven, pulling down strongholds in the spirit before they ever arrived on the battlefield. I pray that these 21 days usher you in your highest prophetic level to prophecy in song, psaltries, and all musical instruments. I hear your prophecy through the harps and cymbals, horns, songs and melodies, calling others to your aid day by day. As Abishai told David, God Helps You. So too, know without question that GOD HELPS YOU! Let others come to help you in your assignment. They will be drawn to you as the Mighty Men of David were drawn to him by GOD. They will be drawn by the prayer and worship inside of You, drawn to stand with you and use their amazing skills, talents and abilities to bring the vision of GOD deposited in you, into the earth. Amen.
25 Moreover David and the captains of the host separated to the service of the sons of Asaph, and of Heman, and of Jeduthun, who should prophesy with harps, with psalteries, and with cymbals: and the number of the workmen according to their service was:
2 Of the sons of Asaph; Zaccur, and Joseph, and Nethaniah, and Asarelah, the sons of Asaph under the hands of Asaph, which prophesied according to the order of the king.
3 Of Jeduthun: the sons of Jeduthun; Gedaliah, and Zeri, and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah, and Mattithiah, six, under the hands of their father Jeduthun, who prophesied with a harp, to give thanks and to praise the Lord.
4 Of Heman: the sons of Heman: Bukkiah, Mattaniah, Uzziel, Shebuel, and Jerimoth, Hananiah, Hanani, Eliathah, Giddalti, and Romamtiezer, Joshbekashah, Mallothi, Hothir, and Mahazioth:
5 All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the words of God, to lift up the horn. And God gave to Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.
6 All these were under the hands of their father for song in the house of the Lord, with cymbals, psalteries, and harps, for the service of the house of God, according to the king’s order to Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman.
7 So the number of them, with their brethren that were instructed in the songs of the Lord, even all that were cunning, was two hundred fourscore and eight.
8 And they cast lots, ward against ward, as well the small as the great, the teacher as the scholar.
“And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it, when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.” Isaiah 30:21
As some of you have seen in my classes, I place a little time and attention on showing my students patterns, sequences and connections in scripture. I call it connecting the dots. Scripture is packed with patterns, sequences which are very beneficial to us spiritually. Once we learn to focus in on the message identifying these patterns, the ultimate good that we will impart upon our own selves is the ability to detect the spiritual patterns in our lives, our dreams and our visions, etc.
Hearing, polished and refined through the Word elevates your spiritual gifting and potential.
Developing Your Spiritual Compass
“And let it be, when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt bestir thyself: for then shall the LORD go out before thee, to smite the host of the Philistines.”. 2 Samuel 5:24
Find your own way into this gifting. Move toward it. By that I am saying, pay attention to how you hear. You have to learn this about yourself. From the words and sounds that you hear, to the words and sounds that you dismiss, what patterns do you see? Focus on the sounds that that you hear which trigger insight, revelation, understanding…
Ex. In a crowded noisy space, what sounds do you focus in on? What do you hear differently? What do you hear repetitiously?… What words keep reoccurring? Which words or sounds grieve your spirit? What elevates you?
GOD bestows the gift. But once conferred, we have to receive it, own it, utilize and exercise it.
Does GOD speak to you through touch, sight or sound?
Find out. Pray, Pay Close Attention, Journal and Connect the Dots.
Two of my favorite scriptures that can help you focus on hearing the directions that lead you not just to the door of the kingdom, but to total access…. beyond the gates.
Hearing might not be your gifting, at this time. But if you don’t know, this is one form of methodology at your disposal to find out.
Connect the Dots that lead to who you are in the spirit.
For those students just recently completing our study on the Book of Exodus, I will be loading pages on information that we were unable to cover during the semester. There are more treasures to mine in this portion of scripture and as you know, I do not want you to miss them. At times, I will update class notes that you were sent. So please be careful to note the updates. Contact me if you have any questions. GOD Bless.
When G‑d instructed Moses to prepare the people of Israel to receive the Torah at Mount Sinai some 3,300 years ago, He said: “Speak to the house of Jacob, and tell the sons of Israel” (Exodus 19:3).
The “House of Jacob,” the sages explain is a reference to the women; “the sons of Israel, or children of Israel” refers to the men (Exodus Rabbah 28:6). In other words, GOD was saying, Speak to the Women First!
“…So you shall say to the house of Jacob” (Exodus 19:3) — these are the women. God said to Moshe, speak to them of the general matters [literally: heads of things] that they are able to hear. “And tell to the children of Israel” (Exodus 19:3) — these are the men. God said to Moshe, say to them particulars of things that they are able to hear. Another explanation: why were the women first? Since they are keen with mitzvot. Another explanation, so that they could accustom their children to Torah.”
As my students are primarily from a Christian background, this point needs to be made clear at the onset in order to set the perception aside that the majority of Christian women have of feeling overlooked or disregarded in scripture. I assure you, that belief only comes from the traditions and teachings of man (not the traditions and teachings of GOD), that have overlooked, under-reported, and/or misrepresented the role of women in scripture.
Getting back to the language of GOD in His Scripture, the Rabbi’s were quite aware of this fact and taught everyone accordingly, that when GOD spoke of the two Houses, one as Jacob and One as Israel, that He was speaking of the women as being from one House, the House of Jacob, and the Men of the other.
So, to the Women… “May GOD’s Word, in regards to His recognition of you on the pages of scripture, forever settle the dispute.” He has always acknowledged our importance in His Divine plan. We have just been taught this point incorrectly, or not at all. But GOD is Faithful. Exodus 19:3, is just one example of GOD making it known, of the integral role women, play in the Kingdom.
Studylight.org presents a synopsis of at least 8 Christian Commentaries that do not identify that women are being referred to in the discussion that GOD is having with Moses in Exodus 19:3. So, your point is completely justified… that for many centuries and barely even in the present day, are the significant incidents in scripture brought to light, when GOD is positioning women at the forefront of His Plans.
Present the torah to the Women First...
So why did G‑d give the Torah first to the women? As you can imagine, there are many viewpoints on this subject. The Midrash offers several explanations. One supposition is that, “Women are more ‘religious‘ than men, i.e. women have a higher propensity to be more devoted to GOD than men.
We only have to look around in our churches today, and we still find that women outnumber men in the pews; We can also look to the New Testament and find that it was the women who possessed a keener understanding and insight as to how to care for the anointing. The Rabbis and Sages inherently understood that GOD was recognizing a special quality in the nature of women that they were being called to take note of for themselves. So their collective insight was left them with a determination that, if you get women to agree to accept the Torah, the men will follow GOD too! (that estimation contains so much truth to it, on so many levels).
However, there’s always another way to look at a situation, correct? According to Rabbi Tachlifa of Caesarea, it’s the other way around—the women are the rebellious ones, so GOD’s commandment was given to teach them that the women have to be won over first: The Rabbi’s reasoning was… “G‑d said to Himself: When I created the world, I commanded Adam first, and only then Eve was commanded, with the result that she transgressed and upset the world. If I do not now call upon the women first, they will nullify the Torah.” (Exodus Rabbah 28:2). This too, is certainly within the realm of plausibility.
GOD could have used this expression to make a distinction between the men and the women, as some suggest because women are in charge of the House(1). It could be just as plain as that. In any case, the language, House of Jacob, refers to the women in scripture. It’s important to note that GOD’s language on the matter, does not undermine the purpose of either women or men.
Over and above all the reasonings that one might suppose for GOD’s decision, the case remains, this is how he wanted things done; Speak to the House of Jacob first….. This may appear to be a small matter, from a western point of view. But in scripture, details matter. “Every Word of scripture is given by inspiration of GOD… ” (2 Timothy 3:16).
Man is a critical and central figure in all of creation. Man is a conqueror, but not as we suppose in secular terms. Man’s role in creation is to conquer and banish the earthly/spiritual darkness and bring down light from the heavens into the earth. Woman nurtures that light from the heavens and makes it manifest in the home. She extends that light as a covering to family and community, and the world.
Woman was Created in the Garden…. The Garden of GOD is Like Home
This in fact, should remind us of the Garden Experience. Man was created outside of the Garden of Eden; Woman was created inside the Garden. It stands to reason that woman’s natural desire is to seek Godliness from within the home, from within the Garden…. family and community first. Man. being created outside the Garden, operates in two realms; the world and the Kingdom (GODs Garden). His assignment to conquer darkness, man pulls down & constrains the anointing over the world. Woman, his helpmeet, has the ability to double man’s strength in the spiritual realm. Together, they overcome the kingdoms of this world and constrain the anointing over the territories GOD has given them in the spirit.
Both of us, are integral to the Creator’s plan: our mission in life is to bring G‑d into the world (man was created for this assignment) and to make the world a home for G‑d (the woman’s specialty); to vanquish darkness (male), and to uncover the light implicit within the darkness (female).
We see this dynamic in action in the lives of Abraham and Sarah. Abraham, the Chariot of GOD, brought GODs light into the world and offered the hospitality, care and covering of GOD to his neighbors, even the strangers. Sarah extended that hospitality, care and covering, by making everyone at home in their house. Together they cared for the travelers and strangers.
Abraham brought them the Word of GOD and Sarah helped ensure that everyone understood it, through demonstration and application of the word in the home. Effectively, teaching the people how to make GOD’s Word manifest within the home. For these reasons, the Tabernacle is modeled after Sarah’s home.
Of course, we can each operate in each others assignments. But, how much more efficiently would we be able to work together, if we specialized in and perfected our expertise in our spiritual assignments, as is our priority for the purposes of the Kingdom of Heaven?
Personal Testimony:
Everyone that has served in ministry with me and has ever prayed with me in intercessory groups, knows that whenever we are having difficulty breaking through the Heavens, I will step outside the room and ask the first male I see, even a five-year-old if necessary, to come in and agree with us in prayer. Many times, this would be an usher that was in the sanctuary early to set up. Just the agreement of the man of prayer makes quick work of any and all obstacles blocking the anointing. Even the prayers and agreement of a small male or female child.
*The power of children in prayer is incredible, invaluable and under-utilized. They are virtually an untapped resource in prayer. Their clean hands and pure hearts should not be overlooked. They truly, bring down the Clouds of Glory. I strongly recommend, praying with children, especially when adults at your left and right are too filled with doubt to operate in the capacity of absolute unwavering agreement of faith. When I need something to happen right this minute, and a great push is required, I do not hesitate to grab-a-grandchild and pray! When time is of the essence, tell them what the prayer request is… I highly recommend it.
When men pray, they operate in a level of strength that I relate to the level of strength they have in the natural. Their voices operate on a different level of authority, a level of headship. Meaning their voices contend with spirits in other realms. I’ve witnessed this happen so many times, that I cannot help but agree with the Rabbinic teaching, that men were created to overthrow darkness. It’s just their specialty.
That being said, we need each other in prayer. Men to do their job and women to do theirs. Women have been given the power to crush the head of the serpents from the beginning, to drive nails like Jael through the temples of the adversary. We are relentless in prayer over our children, families, and friends. If there is a cause that is unjust, anywhere in the world, we will not let GOD go until the blessing is released. You know who you are in prayer! Regardless of what the world may say or what opinions are held. The anointing you carry is all based in the Word of GOD.
Your Prayers Are Not Just For Today!
Some may read these words and suppose that I am saying women do not have the strength in prayer that men have. I am saying that women possess a different kind of strength in prayer. We have only to look at the Matriarchs in scripture, whose lives bear witness to the type of persistence and dedication in prayer that is required in order to bear fruit. GOD always had the intention of answering prayer, but He is also grooming the Matriarchs for they type of fight they have to have in them, in order to defend and cover the children of Israel in faith and prayer, not just for today, but to speak into their futures for generations to come.
What we lack as intercessors is the power of agreement. We are not always praying with the right person, who is able to walk with us in the realms of the spirit in complete agreement for the power of GOD to be made manifest, for the situation at hand. We have our Gehazi’s that we have not let go, or have not sent them back into prayer until they see the vision that we see.
Anoint the Women with the Words of This Commandment First!
I believe that GOD had all this in mind when He commanded Moses to give the torah to the women first. Women will construct a home for prayer. Give this commandment to them and my tabernacle shall be built up with prayer before even the foundation is laid upon the ground.
Men have their battles to fight in the Heavenlies,let them break up the darkness… but give them a helpmeet… a woman to nurture the light of torah… to fill the house with the light of GOD, to raise up the generations to know My Name, to cover their children and husbands at the gates on the battlefield, to meet them on the battlefield, having dressed them in spiritual garments before they ever left the home… and they shall deliver many battles, without defeat.
Speak to the House of Jacob……
GOD Never Overlooked the Power of His Women in the Word. Give GOD the Praise!
Furthermore, Rabbi Yosei said that he always spoke euphemistically: In all my days, I did not call my wife, my wife, nor my ox, my ox. Rather, I called my wife, my home, because she is the essence of the home, and my ox, my field, because it is the primary force in the fields. Shabbat 118b:10 (sefaria.org)

a.k.a., From Ramses (BONDAGE) to Sukkot (DWELLING IN GOD’s PRESENCE)
In the Exodus, Ramses was the border. It was the stronghold. Ramses represented the blockade opposing the children of Israel from leaving. Remember that Mitzraim, commonly translated as Egypt, represents the spiritual condition of being stuck in limitations, constraint. Ramses is the force behind those limitations.
The Title and The Name
The name of the Pharaoh is Ramses. Taken from the Egyptian Word for god.
A stronghold, a wicked power, an evil power that thinks he’s like God. A force that wants to be a substitute for the Authority of GOD in our lives.
This is a stronghold that is holding God’s people in bondage for so many years. The pain of Ramses is an unbelievable pain. With it’s so many soul ties, so many heartaches, so, so many abuses and injustices and struggles.
That no one knows about but the Most High God…
… and mostly related to the generations. Ramses was the house of bondage, affiliated with the pain of all the past.
But the LORD is saying something…
Your Prophetic Word is found in the Book of Exodus in the 12th Chapter and in the 37th verse.
Because Moses summarizes for us the journeys in the wilderness, instead of telling us like he does in the Book of Numbers, all the places they passed through.
He just says… They left Ramses and came to a place called Succoth, a.k.a. Sukkot.
Hear the Word of the Living God.
Because the LORD is saying to us all, “I am taking you from Ramses to Succoth; and the LORD is saying Ramses is the place of the Past and even starting today, the past is going to be a memory. Because the Egyptians you have seen in the past you are going to see them no more and even forever.”
Ramses
Ramses is the place of great toil, limitations, restrictions…
Ramses is the place of tears.
And often times you have wondered would that pain ever profit anything.
Ramses is the place of cruel bondage.
It was directed at your soul.
Succoth
Sukkoth is your destination.
Now hear the Word of the LORD.
Because many don’t know what Succoth is.
Succoth is a place; it’s the place of prayer.
It’s the Pavilion of God’s Presence.
But Succoth is more than just that.
Succoth is the place of His Provision.
Succoth is the place of His Protection. Succoth is the Place of All of His Blessing.
The LORD gave this Word to me to speak in 2015, and He is giving it to me again this year in 2021 because some have drifted back into bondage. “You do not belong with Ramses. You do not belong to Ramses. The Word I gave to Moses has not died. My Word lives and You do not get to go back into a state of limitations and lack. You do not get to go back into complacency. Arise, for I Am bringing you to Succoth, just as Moses wrote in Exodus 12:37.
The Children of Israel left Ramses to go toward their destination to Succoth.
It wasn’t a physical place, it was a spiritual place.
A place that was a destination that would lead them toward destiny.
Succoth is Your RIGHTFUL Destination.
Succoth is the Dwelling Place of Rest of God, in this life.
So the LORD says…
Do not stray from the path of true rest.
Do not change the direction that you are led upon.
You have been comfortable for too long.
And God is saying I will supernaturally provide for you.
And God Is saying I will rain down blessings upon you.
And destroy all the powers of the enemy when you are on the path of Succoth,
This Memorial Day Weekend, I felt like writing a poem to express how much I Love the the LORD,
Then I thought… that would not be good. Instead, I remembered words that are far more eloquent than my own… they capture my thoughts with such excellence. Thank You, Elizabeth!
A friend suggested that I add another card here without my name, in case anyone would like to send to a spouse, a child, a grandchild…. I thought that was a nice idea!
Intro to Torah Students: Lesson # 1. I am often asked, “How did you learn all of this?” I smile and think to myself, “I had an instructor that I think was related to Mr. Miyagi.” I never say that out loud, but I do think of it on occasion! As that is the case, I am going to try to give you an example, because a living example teaches better than an explanation.
OK, Confession… Torah is Like Rocket Science. Ordinary thinking, will not get you to the heights that you want to reach! It just won’t! You have to look at things from a whole new perspective!

Lesson#2: Read Genesis, Chapter 11. This is a Pivotal Chapter in the torah. We are introduced to Abraham for the 1st time. After reading this chapter, are there any questions that you would expect a student to come away with? Are there any valid questions to be asked? Or, since we have the benefit of having read the entire book… is chapter 11 a brief geneaology and introduction with the meat of the word beginning later? (Post your observations in the comments section below).

GENESIS11
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood:
11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah:
13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber:
15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters.
16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg:
17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters.
18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu:
19 And Peleg lived after he begat Reu two hundred and nine years, and begat sons and daughters.
20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug:
21 And Reu lived after he begat Serug two hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters.
22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor:
23 And Serug lived after he begat Nahor two hundred years, and begat sons and daughters.
24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah:
25 And Nahor lived after he begat Terah an hundred and nineteen years, and begat sons and daughters.
26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran.
27 Now these are the generations of Terah: Terah begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran begat Lot.
28 And Haran died before his father Terah in the land of his nativity, in Ur of the Chaldees.
29 And Abram and Nahor took them wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah, and the father of Iscah.
30 But Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31 And Terah took Abram his son, and Lot the son of Haran his son’s son, and Sarai his daughter in law, his son Abram’s wife; and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran, and dwelt there.
32 And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years: and Terah died in Haran.
