The last few weeks have been notable in the level of Spiritual activity. One of the indications is the fact that Our Heavenly Father has been waking me up very early. As background, at the end of 1989 the leasing manager of the office building my company was in asked me to join a group of men for early prayer time… 6AM. This would necessitate me awakening at 5AM. I was a 7 o’clock kind of guy at that time. Our Heavenly Father changed that. HE told me HE wanted me to start praying an hour before work each day. My response, “If YOU want me to do that, YOU will have to wake me up.” No problem. Each morning HE woke me up at 5 minutes before 5AM, without fail. This occurred for 10 years, 1990-2000. It then ended.
The early mornings have started again, as early as 3AM, 3:30AM, 4AM, 4:30AM, 5AM, or 5:30AM. This morning the clock indicated 5:32AM (the Paschal Lamb cycle of 7X76, the number of cleansing, also the house number where I grew up). Each morning Our Heavenly Father would have me focus on something that required my undivided attention. Some mornings to read, some mornings to pray, some mornings to write a blog, and some mornings to just listen. Yesterday on 2/8 the activity was high all day.
Lately, I have purposely focused on the “here and now” rather than the prophetic. It started when Our Heavenly Father spoke to me in August of 2011 and told me “Now is the time”. I wrote 10 blogs on the topic in September of 2011. Is this tied to Isaiah 9:10, the central Scripture of the book “The Harbinger”?
I have purposely minimized buying books to read in the last few years. My focus had been on Love and I did not want any distractions. In December, I completed seven years of studying Our Heavenly Father’s most primary characteristic- Love. In the meantime this “GOD is Love” Conference has been called and we are led to go. It begins on 2/16. In HIS typical manner, Our Heavenly Father has begun some type of preparation. I believe this Spiritual activity is related. What will be the result? As usual, I have no idea. What is my hope? I long for some manifestation, change, empowerment, revelation, etc. to occur as a result of this trip. We all do.
Our Heavenly Father moved upon me to buy the book “The Harbinger” by the man who led the prayer in Washington D.C., I posted the Youtube recording of his prayer. I finished it this morning. The book is a witness of what Our Heavenly Father has been showing me for a number of years about our country. I had actually been to the top of the World Trade Center in the 1990’s as part of walking out my calling in the financial arena. I knew that on 9/11 that the nation’s covering had been lifted and we should be repenting rather than speaking words of defiance. The book confirms that point. I knew that the financial economy would come under judgment, just as the book made the point. I further expect a greater judgment to occur as the country continues to remove Our Heavenly Father from its midst. Friday, 9/11/2015 (27th or Elul), is the last business day before the 29th of Elul, 7 years after the last Wall Street Dow meltdown of 777 points in one day. That is one day I would consider in one’s financial planning. Read the book.
What is the solution? The Baptism of Love.
We were running some errands at lunch yesterday and I was telling Pam about the 9 harbingers mentioned in the book. At lunch I was reflecting on that fact that it had been sixteen years since the first Tabernacles I attended. I also mentioned meeting Sunny Day. Yep, that is her name. I hadn’t talked to Sunny since March when she had called one of her prophetic meetings. We get back from lunch and who calls? Sunny. She was planning a meeting for 2/16 but Our Heavenly Father led her to cancel it. Suddenly the sixteen year connection is being formed back to the 1996 Tabernacles meeting in Minneapolis.
One hour later, Pam gets a call from an auto dealer. “We are calling about your car being serviced.” Pam inquired about what car, since both of ours were here at our house. “Your Infinity 256”. She told the caller that we don’t own one. Struck by the word “Infinity”, she mentioned the call to me as I was working out on the treadmill. After Sunny’s prophetic call, this unexpected call demanded our focus. “What do you make of this Infinity 256?” We “mathematicians” always see 256 as 2 to the 8th power: 2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2. “Honey, that’s infinity, 2 to the 8th power… 16, Love. On 2/8, we get a call about infinite Love? The conference is in 8 days?
Is Our Heavenly Father telling us something? I trust that HE is.
Was there something significant about Tabernacles 1996? Yes, that was the first conference I attended and Stephen Jones had unexpectedly ask me to speak. What did I speak on? The Book of Esther. I had been in an intense study of the book.
The greatest expression of Love is to sacrifice yourself for others. That is exactly was Esther did. Sunny Day had made such a point about tying me to Esther ever since that meeting. Once again, she mentioned it last year in a meeting.
Is this conference tied to the Book of Esther?
Esther 2:7 And he brought up Hadassah, that [is], Esther, his uncle’s daughter: for she had neither father nor mother, and the maid [was] fair and beautiful; whom Mordecai, when her father and mother were dead, took for his own daughter.
Esther’s “hidden” name is Hadassah. Hadassah means “Myrtle” (Strong’s #1919). There must be a tie to the conference being held in the Myrtle Beach area.
Is there a link between 2/8 and 2:8 of Esther?
Esther 2:8 “So it came to pass, when the king’s commandment and his decree was heard, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the palace, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was brought also unto the king’s house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.”
Esther was being brought to the King’s Palace in preparation of going before the King.
Is there a link between 2/16 and 2:16?
Esther 2:16 “So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which [is] the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.”
Hmmm! Seven years. Esther is now going before the King, initiating the act of Love to save her people.
Clearly, there is a focus on this conference. No matter what befalls the U.S., Our Heavenly Father will have raised up a remnant to lead the nation through the calamity. The remnant will Divine Intent backing it and the Divine Intent has at its foundation, Love.
