My take on the writings of the Sefer Ba’al Shem Tov, Kedoshim 23
It’s so good to be back! I received a few notes from readers who have been wondering why I have not posted in so long. First, Thank You All for Your Messages and YES! Even though I haven’t been posting, the site is still active! I will make it up to you, I promise.
As some of you know, the one book turned into two, and now we’re at five+ **Praise The LORD*** In addition, I have been dedicated to several projects which required attention these last few months, along with fasting and prayer on a major scale for 2023!
So much needs to be covered in 2023 for so many, that I am sure you all see that too! On that note, I am going to invite you each to fast with us this January— 23 days this month for 2023. I want each one of you to walk upon the high places of this earth, in safety, peace, security, grace, protection and abundance. I want doors to open that are planning to be shut, and doors shut that are nothing but invitations to slippery places.
I am fasting and praying for every viewer, student, family and friend of my teachings to be strong and very courageous this year! To walk without compromise, to stick closer than ever to GOD, to regain territories and to experience unprecedented splendor during the next 365 days (Psalms 71). Amen.
The Books are nearly done. I am so please that several of you are looking forward to them. But what would be more important to me than the books, would be receiving your questions and feedback on the posts.
I really would like to hear from you and open up discussions. GOD Bless you all. I pray that the sounds of music and joy increase around you and that you each increase in Songs of Praise this year…
Among Your Many Anticipated Rewards This Year, let the Remnant be Rewarded with their Own Song! Halleluyah.
For Aleisha, in response to the question that you posed a few days ago, please refer to the information and diagram provided below and please let me know if you have any further questions. Thank You for the question on Habukuk 2:2.
FIRST: One of the most important things that I would want you to know is that when GOD speaks in the imperfect tense in Hebrew, He is leaving room for you to meet Him in the future!
Vision is a BIG word in Hebrew.
Chazah means to see or behold as GOD sees, which means you have to be able to operate in the anointing, aligning your vision with the vision/will of GOD. (Reference the 1st few times in scripture the Word chazah is used).
Reference EXODUS 18:21 “Moreover, you shall seek out of all the people, able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place[such] over them, [to be] rulers of thousands,[and] rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers oftens.”
Chazah is about operating in truth.
There is no way to seek out able men such as those that possess awe and reverence, and knowledge of the LORD without being submitted and committed to the anointing yourself and possessing a relationship with GOD.
Chazah is about operating in the Spirit of GOD, seeing Him...
Take a look at the 2nd time the word chazah is used in scripture.
Reference EXODUS 24:9-11 “Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: 10 And they saw the God of Israel: and [there was] under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in [his] clearness. 11 And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.”
Chazah is about following the Spirit of GOD
Let’s look at the 3rd and 4th time chazah is used in scripture; Exodus 24:4, Numbers 24:4, 16: Both times, we find that Baalam sees the vision of GOD.
Chazah is about being teachable, having a desire to be taught…
In the book of Job the pattern continues. In particular 8:17, 15:17, 19:26, 27, 23:9. Even as Elihu criticizes Job (34:32), he asks that GOD teach him, so that whatever it is that he can not see, God would reveal.
Chazah is Insight
Ask GOD for the mantle of vision. You need the ability to choose out those that have a heart for GOD, genuinely. You need to be mantled by GOD to seek out men and women of truth, those that deal in honesty and integrity, possessing the ability to operate in truth- at all times. Note that the very first-time GOD uses this word in scripture, the Holy Spirit is letting us know that Jethro is counseling Moses to seek out those that reverence the LORD and operate in truth.
Moses has to operate in the vision of GOD in order to achieve this.
Habukkuk is using the same word for vision (2:2). GOD has given Habukkuk the vision that he must follow and pursue with all his heart. But, not only that! Habukkuk is speaking into the generations to decree and declare the same exact impartation over you that will allow you to impart vision to others, and he is telling you how to do it!
Habukkuk is leaving you the opportunity to walk in the same anointing that resides in the word GOD gave to him. I see by the work that you are doing in the earth and the events that you put together in order to bless the children, His children, you are imparting that vision to others! Amen.
This was an excellent passage of scripture to speak over their lives. I come into an agreement with you that they will abide within the pages of scripture that GOD has placed on your heart to cover, guide and protect them with His Word, throughout the days of their lives.
Thank You for the question about this verse of scripture. I hope I have helped to increase understanding! Amen.
“for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.”
1 Samuel 16:7b
I pray that you all will be perpetually mantled with the vision of GOD.
Lord, we pray that you create upon every dwelling place of Mount Zion, upon every household in Breath of the Spirit Ministries, upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For your word promises that upon all the Glory shall be a defense and a Tabernacle for a shadow in the daytime; from the heat and for a place of refuge and a cover from storm and rain.
Lord, We Thank You and Praise You for this Glorious Covering You have given us! And for Your Heavenly Refuge and Protection!
Sing unto us a song of touching Your vineyard, fence us in LORD, and gather out the stones, establish Your winepress within our spirit, heart, mind, body & soul
Look and we will bring forth grapes, good grapes and not wild…
Do not take away Your Hedge of Protection, Do not take down Your Walls from around us… and we shall remain and lock the doors behind us.
We purpose in our hearts to be taught, to be teachable, to be discipled, to do and to hear… with love,
We shall not be moved…
We decree and declare that as Your People
We will have knowledge and not captivity.
We Thank You LORD, that Your Honorable men and women are full and satisfied and
Your multitudes are well watered in our houses, in our land and in our sanctuary. LORD, We exalt You in Our Houses and only You shall be exalted in judgment and sanctified in righteousness. Open our eyes, increase our discernment that may we never be among those that call evil good and good evil, that put darkness for light and light darkness,
We cast down all pride and haughtiness, We command our flesh to be humble, yielded, still, Create a right spirit within us, that we are not wise in our own eyes, and prudent in our own sight…
We will not put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.
We pray that all God’s people are not deceived by the thoughts and the cares of this world to think themselves wise in their own eyes or prudent in their own sight.
Even when I have tasted the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, you have not removed my teachers from me, neither will they be hidden from my eyesight.
I Thank You LORD, my teachers were never removed and never hidden.
Your spiritual gifts were never withheld from me
and that daily you draw me closer into wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
I Thank You that there are no clouds between us, and that my prayers move straight to Your Throne.
We pray Lord, that you take not your bread and your water from us. Do not stay your staff in our hand. Send us your Mighty Men and Your Men of War, Your Judge and Your Prophets, the Prudent and the Ancient.
Send us your Captains of 50 and the Honorable Man, our Counselors and Cunning Artificers, Your Eloquent Orators–that Your House and our land lack no good thing! Replenish our land with your gifts to the fullest. For we pray that our tongues and are doings are never against You, Our LORD, The Most High!
Keep us Lord, that we would not provoke the Eyes of Your Glory!
AMEN.
September 18, 2007 – Prayers during Rosh Hashanah 2007
“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.
“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.
