Two things I want to talk about in this newsletter are, Our up coming trip to England and Scotland; and the Prophetic Words the Lord had give for the Jewish New Year. Thank you for your prayers for our time in Ohio, ministering in the Bible School and Church there. God did amazing things.

England and Scotland

 This upcoming trip to England and Scotland is probably the most important trip I have taken to date. I know that is something I say a lot, but I believe it is really true. We are fighting things that will protect and affect the entire world. Most of the battle is coming directly or indirectly from the powers of the North.  As the Lord has begun to reveal things to me, I have researched it in science, history and folklore and discovered much of it can be verified to some extent.

For example: The islands of the UK do not all have the same source. Scotland spun off Denmark, most of England and Wales came up from below by volcanic action, in the same manner that most of the islands were formed or broken off in that region.  Ireland also came up from below and spent many years half in and half out of the water. The part of England that is closest to France broke off France. As these pieces of England slammed together during volcanic action, they were fussed together and over time, of course you can’t tell the difference.

There were other interesting pieces to this history of the forming of the UK. The Lord revealed that there was a land bridge that formed between the northern part of Ireland and Scotland called Cassia. It has now again sunk into the sea, not ever being extremely stable. I have researched their legends, because it would be too far back for written history and they have several references to a place called Cassiopia (Cassia), which was a mystical landmass that connected Scotland and Northern Ireland. Just as the Lord revealed, according to their legend it sank. Why is this important enough for the Lord to not only tell me this, but also to help me research at least some of it? (Most of it being the study of how science views the continental drift and the fact that the water level of the ocean around the UK is considered relatively shallow compared to other regions of the ocean, which would accommodate the idea that volcanic action could bring so much up from below.) There was also a bridge between France and England that brought most of the first humans after Noah, which legend verifies.

This is important because it means different parts and regions of the UK have different land origins and most of their most ancient spirits – the foundational spirits of the region come from the land and its original associations. So the spirits of Scotland are more closely associated with things in southern Denmark and that makes sense when studying how uniquely different things are there than in other places of the UK. The middle part of England and Ireland came up from below. We have talked in previous newsletters a great deal about the netherworlds, one of which is Middle Earth (which is the most well known but there are others as well.) Because of the way these islands were literally pushed from below it gave access, especially in days gone by, to many things from Middle Earth. This would be the reason for tales of fairies, leprechauns, trolls, dragons, and wizards with unusual powers. Though certainly spurious and fanciful, there is some grain of truth to it.

Things like C.S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia do have a base root in truth, though they are very romanticized.  For example there really is an Ice Queen, a tremendously wicked being, she is an offshoot of the Ice of the North, which we have spoken of before. During the ice age, which as the Lord revealed and science verified covered “all” of the UK, she ruled. I do not know the details of how she lost power but she was determined to get it back. After many years she made an agreement with the Darkness that if they would help her, she would also give them surface access (which they greatly desire). With the help of the Darkness she conquered Caspian (though a ruler of at least part of the underworld, he was not at all like he has been depicted, he was a lizard man looking creature, extremely vile and power hungry. He now has no choice but to work with the Ice Queen in order to hold any position at all. He and the Ice Queen have already caused us much trouble. Asland also rules a portion under her and again has no choice. He is more cooperative and reasonable than the others.

So why do we care. The darkness is taking over the Ice Queen. She is well over 90% darkness now and losing ground fast. When that reaches 100% (which is not far from happening) the darkness will rule the UK. That must not happen. There would be no restraints to it. It is beyond imagination how damaging that could be. On the other side the ice and the forces of the north, which we won’t go into detail about at this time, are trying to reclaim the territory they held previously. That would be all of the UK. The melted ice of Greenland is used at least in part to spread the spirit of the ice and make a legal statement, we block this daily in prayer. For those of you who remember Remphan (Borealis), he is back in the battle, as well as an ice monster I call Max. His name is hard for me to pronounce and it means Maximized, so I call this extreme enemy from the north Max.

Of course this is an over simplified view and there are many factors involved. I have been battling this for the most part of year already and through the attacks and history I have learned much. Much of the history is before written history but the Lord reveals it and bits and pieces of history verify it. The important thing to keep in prayer is we must be hidden and protect from all darkness, ice and fire. There are several major players in Scotland, in places where fire and ice meet. They are trying to awaken powers that God does not want loosed. The dangers in seeing to it that these powers are not released are intense. The Lord has shown us the strategic places and what is happening there, so we know where to go. It is a strange place in the spirit realm.

Like Australia was a penal colony for England, Scotland was a penal colony of sorts, where evil spirit kingdoms exiled spirits who rebelled. That makes for an even more interesting mix of things. It is interesting that the Scotts invented whiskey and several other strong drinks. The legends say that when the first settlers came some years after Noah’s flood there were already beings there that were part human and part demons. (The Lord had already shown me this in detail.) The legend says the main woman they mixed with was Noah’s granddaughter, daughter of Ham. This created a race of horrifying monsters that they early people speak much of in their legends of battles. Remember after Noah’s flood until the time of Babel, the enemy tried to mix demons and/or fallen angels and humans again, that is why there were giants. According to what the Lord has shown me, and what legends reveal, the UK was a land of giants and hideous monsters. This gives us an idea of some of their origins.

We began to study the origins of Stonehenge and found some amazing things that I assure you made the enemy furious. Because of the nature of the battles and the delicate situations of it, we will not share that information in detail at this time. But between history, legend and what the Lord has revealed, it is amazing. There are actually several sights called henges. We know of 3 of them, more are yet hidden as far as I know. 2 kilometers from Stonehenge is a new discovery that seems to be associated and though similar is different, called Blue Henge for the Blue stones taken from the Black Mountains of Wales, as with Stonehenge. The third location is well documented, Avebury, also not far away.

According to legend Fairy Hills gave access to the netherworld, similar to dolmens giving access to the realm of the dead (which is how they describe it.)  Kings of ancient UK had to access the netherworld and perform some ritual there, or have the netherworld access them before they could be king; sounds like the Karmala in India. Each of the henge sites has a tall man-made hill historians cannot explain. Historians tell us that on top of that hill was a place where large timbers once sat. Caesar recorded that the Celts of that region (who worshiped the oaks and mistletoe) made huge images out of wood and vines. They then filled those images with live humans and torched it during summer or winter solstice. But the most strategic times were when the solstice came at the time of a Lunar or Solar eclipse.  The renewed interest in these sites, with many people coming from all over the world for their pagan rituals and spiritual encounters, is no accident.

Because of the battles with the North we need to go to the place where North Umbria meets Scotland at the sea. This is also a direct connect with the North via the Baltic Sea. The battle is to stop the advances of the North on the UK. Then directly across to the opposite side of Scottland, at the place where Cassia once connected, to stop earthquakes and damage in the islands where the fire is trying to meet the ice. This is similar to the battles we documented outside of Rome, dealing with their earthquakes. There are several other stops I will not go into but the main battle that started all of this research is the battle of the poles.

As you know our current North Pole is what I believe to be the 3^rd Pole. Scientists believe there were either one or two poles previous to this one.  But they are unsure as to the locations. I could help them with that. They think it was the current equator but that is not true. They know the poles switched suddenly because climate changed instantly for no apparent reason. Of course the most striking example of that is the Mastodon frozen suddenly in ice, still having tropical vegetation in its mouth. Preserved in the ice, it is easy to see the suddenness of the changing of the poles. The three poles looks like a capital X with a line through the middle. All of them being a bit off center, as we know the current North and South pole is not a straight through the center and is off a few hundred miles from center point. These are similar.

Imagine the powers that run through the centers of the earth especially at these forbidden poles. The Lord locked access to them but someone is trying to defy that. It is hard to explain how serious that is. The poles are a power source beyond our comprehension; to open access to them and allow them to release power into the atmosphere would kill millions and drastically alter the atmosphere of the entire planet. There must only be one pole active at a time. Think of the magnetic force field of the existing pole. It is a strong pull. Activate another magnetic pull in an opposing direction and the earth would begin to literally pull itself apart. This place must be secured and God’s guard put in place so that the enemy cannot even attempt access. These enemies have already let us know how angry they are about our interfering with their plans. Intense.

How to pray for us? We still do not have the finances we need to take this strategic trip. But it is God’s trip and that is His problem. He always comes through for His work. We still do not have even one contact in the UK. If we must go without contacts that is fine, but I believe the Lord wants us to have contacts. One reason I believe the Lord wants to give us contacts is the Lord has told me to love the UK and pray for them. The Lord only tells me that in places where He wants me to make connections and go again and again. We will only be gone for 10 days this time, we plan to leave November 11 and return November 21^st.

Please pray for: Finances, protection, a spirit of hiding from the enemy, wisdom and guidance from the Lord, unity in the team (they will push against this), God’s contacts only, and protections for our loved ones while we are gone; of course protection before during and after the trip.

We must not be arrogant or hasty. We just want to go where the Lord says go, say and do what the Lord says, and go home. We know your prayers make all the difference and even though we go physically, you are with us in the battles.

Jewish New Year 5770

 We know that any year ending in zero is strategic and any year that has seven in it is strategic, this year has two sevens in it and rightly so, for this is a very strategic year. Because we taught this in 7 full sessions, you can imagine it would be far too much to type it all in a newsletter. So I am going to give the basic overview in such a way that you have enough information, to begin to act on this in your life and family.

This is an excerpt from a word the Lord gave on June 20, 2009. I quite honestly had forgotten this but as the Lord began to unfold His plan, I saw this word given earlier this year was now coming into action.    6-20-2009 The Lord said, “The end of this year of 2009 is very strategic. It is like none other. You will reach the top of the hill and see a new realm. It is strategic and there is not another time like it. Reposition and prepare for it.” After receiving the end of the year visions and words and the words for the coming year of 2010 (Or Jewish 5770) this word could not have been more accurate.

The theme for this year is “Do You Trust Me.” We are going to a place the Lord has prepared for us. John 14:2-3 talks about the Lord preparing a place for us. Not in the sweet by and by, but now. It is a place where we can walk closer with the Lord and know Him better. It is place especially prepared so that we can get close to the Father God without getting burned up by His magnificence. It looks like a castle but would better be described as the temple. I Corinthians 3:16 says we are the temple of God. Each temple for God is different and so are these castles. Each one is designed as “your” place to interact with the Lord in the Kingdom of God. To go there we must trust Him and that is not going to be as easy at it sounds. We will be tested and tried in the area of trust.

We’re going to a new “realm”. Not just a place but a realm. Everything is different there. It is the Realm of the Word and the Glory. There, God’s word, written and spoken will come alive to us and change us. There we will begin to hear clearly what to do and how to do it. There by God’s glory we will be able to do anything He tells us to do. It is the place where the Word and the Glory meet in the Kingdom of God, for us.

Many of you remember the story of the little girl who got off the King’s Highway and into the territory of the World by accident and ended up in a tree terrified by a huge bear. If you do not remember that story I encourage you to read it now. You can read it by accessing our website at http://www.goldenministries.org then click on Stories from the options on the right. Find the option more stories and a list of stories will appear. Select the story “The Window”. What the Lord showed me was like a continuation of that story in some ways.

The King’s castle was up on a tall hill overlooking His realm, but between He and His realm was a deep dark chasm where creatures made of darkness lived. They hated the King and wanted to destroy Him and His subjects. In this vision the little girl is on the King’s Highway and it dead ends at the Dark Chasm. The King is on a ledge below the castle on the opposite side of the chasm on His knees beckoning to the child to come. He is about level with the child. “But King,” she says, “There is no bridge.” “There has never been a bridge.” The King replied. “Do you trust Me?”

(This phrase do you trust me caused me to instantly remember another story the Lord told me, some years ago that had to do with learning to trust the King. That story is also on the same website, in the list of stories, and it is called. “The Beauty That Deceives”. I think it would be worth reading this story to understand how important stepping into thing air, so to speak can be, when it comes to trusting the Lord and what that will release for our lives.) I knew trusting the Lord meant stepping into thin air, with the Dark Chasm beneath me trying to do everything they could to make me fall.

Trust is not a feeling, it is an action. It is an action in spite of feelings. We have to go beyond what we feel and see. In the place where you fell like God failed you or let you down, go there and trust Him. Moses had to trust beyond his failures. David said in I Samuel 27:1 There is nothing better for me than that I should speedily escape to the land of the Philistines (the enemy). We all feel discouraged or overwhelmed at times. But it is in those places that we have to go back and trust. We have to leave the Worldly Realm for the Kingdom Realm of Word and Glory and the only way to do that is trust.

All throughout the word of God we see that the Word and Glory goes together. In the Ark of the Covenant were the two tablets of the Word and we know the glory was there as well, because it was strong enough to kill 5070 men in I Samuel 6:19, for looking into the Ark. We know the Word and the Glory was Jesus Christ. John 1:1 & 14 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory. The realm we are entering is a realm of the Word. Glory flows like a river there.

John 1:14 The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. (Everything Jesus did was as an example to us. He was the Word that became flesh and now through Jesus we need to become the word in the flesh. Not just have the word as an external but also become the word through Jesus. We can never be the Word like Jesus was, but we can walk in the word in a new a living way. Nothing can stand against the word of God.)

Time and Place

We could not have done this a year ago or even 6 months ago. The Kingdom of God is all about time and place. This realm of Word and Glory is all about Time and Place. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born as a man. But it had to be the exact time and the exact place designated by God. In the realm of Word and Glory we must know what God is saying, and what He wants us to do and then do it, when and where He says, otherwise it will not work properly. How often we have missed it because we knew what to do but not when or exactly where. In this realm we will begin to understand and see the time and place set for each situation and how to line up with that, and even how to maintain God’s order until the proper time and place are ready.

The enemy will do anything to try to stop you from crossing this chasm. Here is what you can expect. It will be hard and even seem unfair. The enemy will push heritage, lineage, situations, old problems, and threats at you to make you fall, while crossing the chasm. So watch for those problems and realize if the enemy is trying so desperately to stop you, this must be the right path. The urgent thing to remember is no matter what comes against you, always keep your eyes on Jesus. Never look at the enemy, or the situations. Never look down. Keep stating over and over. I choose to trust you Jesus, I fix my gaze on you. I can do this because it is the time and the place that you have ordered for me to cross over, and you will not let me fall. Please understand it will be hard. The enemy knows who you are and he will push all your buttons to try to get you to stop, but just keep going, because you are going out of his sphere of influence, into the Kingdom of God. You are crossing over.

Break any connections, soul ties or things of the past that might hold you back. Repent of any doubt or unbelief. You must position yourself to stand and trust no matter what. It was because of doubt and unbelief the children of Israel couldn’t enter into their promise land. Let’s not miss this. Let’s actively keep it before us and be determined.

In the vision as I was crossing the chasam, I saw puffs of smoke and fire blazing around me. I could see and hear the enemy taunting me, that he was going to make me fall and then he would have me forever. But I said, “The word of God says I am redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ. I choose to trust Jesus and I fix my gaze on Him. I can make it because He says I can do it.” Once I took that last step and fell into Jesus’ arms everything was okay. The enemy was actually punished for trying to stop me.

But where am I standing? I was at the edge of the chasm, in Jesus arms. The enemy started trying to get me to push back. Not in anger, but more like, wait I need to stop and think about that. Let me step back a minute and process that information. But I can’t afford to step back now, at the edge of the cliff. Until you are safely beyond this point, be careful of things that make you want to stop and push back.

These times of stepping back would be things like:

1. Asking why in a negative way
2. Being overwhelmed
3. I’ll obey – later
4. Not pressing in – you automatically slide back
5. Being hurt, disappointed or sad
6. People and relationship pushes – family or work
7. Personal circumstances
8. Being too busy
9. Allowing worry, fear, anger or frustration
10. Having no focus and no God plan.

The Castle

Then Jesus carried me to the castle because the cliff was too steep for me to climb. Once I crossed the chasm and was tested, He could carry me. We have to be tested. Every person used mightily by the Lord was tested. Moses was on the backside of the wilderness watching someone else’s sheep for 40 years. Joseph was only 17 and enslaved and then put in prison for 13 years. David had to run for his life along with his family, for years before becoming King. And most of us have been going through our own wilderness experiences. Why? Well I want to challenge you to ask that as a valid question. What was God trying to build into your life, so that you could become an effective part of His Kingdom? Make a list of things the Lord was working in your life and why, so you can see what God was building that could only be built in the wilderness. Patience, strength, trust, hope, restored ability to love, healing, etc.

In the Castle I was amazed at how big it was and how simply furnished. The main item was a small golden throne. Why small? Because it is not “The” throne of God but it is God throne in your life, to rule over every aspect of your life. It is God’s authority in you. He has authority but you have to allow Him to rule in the different aspects of your life. He will not force it. Once I ministered to a teenager that was raised by a single mom. No matter what her mom did she rebelled. If she locked her in her room she went out to the window. If she nailed the windows, she broke the window. The teenager complained that her mom was not a good mom. I said, “How would you know. You have not let her be your mom.” She replied, “She is my mom and she should know what to do.” “She is your mom,” I said, “But you have to allow her to parent you. She can’t force you.” Doesn’t God just have all authority? Well yes, but you have to allow Him to have that authority in every aspect of your life. It is very important to go sit there on that throne, with Jesus. Ephesians 2:6 says we will sit in Heavenly places in Christ Jesus. Does Jesus rule in every aspect of your life, making all you decision, being in charge of your priorities and schedule, your finances and family, even your emotions and attitudes. Do you let Him.

Glory River

From beneath the throne flows the River of Glory, from the place below where the Word and the Glory meet. It is healing and empowering. In the vision, I laid in the waters to soak in it and I knew I would need to do that often, because there is a lot in me that needs to change and conform to the Word and Glory of God. In and around the throne is something like a shaft of light that is a connector, to the depths of the Kingdom of God below and to the heights above. It connects you to God and gives Him access to you and you access to Him.

Connections and Authorities

The main throne room we described stands for the natural world; it is where the Lord rules natural things for you. It is the realm of the head and the body. Be conscious of God ruling in the natural things in your life, especially your thoughts. Be quick to rebuke negative thoughts. This is the part of you that touches the world and people and where they touch you. Be sure that God orders it and rules in this. Let God rule your family and work relationships from His rule and authority in the Kingdom of God in your life. In this realm command your mind or intellect to reside in Christ daily. Like a naughty child it sneaks out and then gets in trouble, but we are to keep our mind in Christ.

The next level down is where the Word and Glory meet. It is a hard realm for your soul. Be sure to help your soul through this transition. Forget about gifts, here you flow in the pure word and glory, that does more than all gifts. You have to go deeper than world interactions, people and praise to get to this soul level. The enemy wants to block your hunger, your time and push obstacles in your way. Just push back. You’re standing in His authority use it. This is the part of the realm where you explore the word and the glory and learn Jesus and His realm. Don’t get so caught up in the glory that you don’t listen to Jesus and obey. Maintain your inner team (your spirit, soul, body, self and intellect.) Be sure they are adapting well.

Carnality stops the glory, be sure to push through carnal busyness mode. Your words and thoughts can cause you to switch gears so to speak, from His presence. Remember that the word says His peace guards your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. It is a spirit realm and not a natural mind realm, things like defilement, corruption and compromise are bigger pushes here. Be sure to worship daily and go deep in the presence of the Lord. Let’s give the Lord something to work with and draw us with.

This is a new level of connection to the Lord maintain it. Though you may not go there daily, be available to the Lord to go there, make time to see what the connection will connect you to or show you. Be prepared and available daily. Remember in this word realm, that the word of the Lord erases the words of the enemy and all the negative graffiti that the enemy and other people have written on the walls of your life. As you soak in the word, ask the Lord to begin to remove and replace the negative words spoken into your life. What a difference it will make. It is a process, so be diligent.

The next level, which is the Deepest Level Connection, is to the Father Himself. It is the Spirit level of the castle. It is not for others, it is strictly between you and the Lord. It is the realm of secrets. It is a higher level of interaction and revelation from God, of Himself, to you. Remember access through and to all levels is via Jesus and His authority in your life. Give Him all daily. Be sure to keep God’s secrets or He won’t tell them to you. Don’t say this is not for you, just be available by the word and worship and the Lord will gradually do the rest. 

Be the Father’s little child – here. Connect. How can God release His hand in the earth through you and write His words in the earth through you, for the End Times, if you’re not connected. It is a realm of absolute authority. Here we do not consider ‘our’ needs at all but meet God’s design and will. Press through for Him or other connections in your life will weaken.

Roadblocks

1 Thessalonians 2:18 Therefore we wanted to come to you -- even I, Paul, time and again -- but Satan hindered us. Know that Satan will do anything to keep you from discovering this realm. He will set up roadblocks, but you are standing in a realm of authority, send the word and remove those road blocks. The word ‘hindered’ here is the Greek word egkopto. I means to hinder, be tedious, to wear down, to impede ones course by cutting off the way (road blocks). Is the enemy trying to wear you down, to keep you from getting where you need to go? You have authority, challenge him by saying, “Oh enemy by authority do you try to stop and hinder the servant of the Most High God. I come to you in the authority of the Lord Jesus Christ and my authority overrides and removes your authority. I block and stop you in Jesus name.”

Let’s look at some of the ways the enemy is trying to undermine us.

1. The enemy is after your confidence in yourself. Trust in God and what He has placed in you.
2. The enemy wants us to be grieved and vexed for our lack of intimate time with the Lord. But God wants us to know He is with us always, whether we feel it or not. We are His beloved, He will not leave us of forsake us.
3. The enemy is pushing us to accuse God in our hearts of not being good or loving to us. Be quick to repent of that and rebuke it.

Call On Him

The sower went out to sow but the darkness and many enemies surrounded him. He couldn’t see the work. Should he try to push through in the dark and take a chance on not doing a good job, or should he call on the Farmer. Remember that the farm is not yours but God’s. You are bonded to work for Him and to work for Him His way. Call on Him; He will deal with the darkness and the enemies. Having done all the word says, stand. While standing be sure to call Him.

The enemy is after your God focus. Decree balance. Remember first it is balance with yourself by the Holy Spirit, and then balance with the Lord, and center point. Center point includes perfect forgiveness from God the Father and perfect peace even in the storm. When you soak in the word and the glory (it helps you do it when you picture it) your focus is restored. There you are cleansed and renewed daily. The words of God overrule and erase the words of the enemy.

Imprints and Impulses

The word also washes away imprints. The enemy is always trying to leave a permanent print in you, like a fingerprint. Scientists have discovered how to study the brain. They use heat sensitive light displays. Different aspects of the brain show up in different colors. Strong emotions change colors. In one experiment they showed a person pornography for the first time, it took three minutes for the brain to develop a circle of color in a certain area, that was the imprint of the pornography on the brain. That color never left. Even when testing that person at a later date it is still there. The imprint is permanent. It is that spirit of pornography imprinting the brain. It is how a child confronted with homosexual advances, though they have done nothing wrong, is suddenly thinking about those things and feeling those tendencies. It imprinted them. We need to understand how to remove the imprints of the enemy and one great way to do that is soaking in the word of God and His glory.

It also removes impulses of the enemy. Impulses are the herding techniques of the enemy. The enemy often talks in impulses, not words. So we often do not recognize them as attacks used to get us off track, take over our focus, harm us or make us fall. It is a progression. Impulses are usually soft and subtle urges, to think, to feel or to move us. They try to cause us to be hurt, weep, and feel self-pity, to be angry, indignant, frustrated or numb. Impulses are often the enemy’s first steps to attack. We need to know how to watch and pray concerning them. Because they are not words, (though they may lead to thoughts and words) we are more easily duped by them and often think it is just us and not the enemy. The enemy loves that.

T.E.M.P.

We need to constantly be checking our temperature – let’s call it T.E.M.P. for short.

T – Temperment

E – Emotions

M – Motives

P – Perspective

Let’s look at Temperament

Would you normally feel the way you are feeling (sad, grieved, angry, indignant, frustrated, offended, hurt, or arguing)? Don’t justify it, that’s like putting the thermometer on a light bulb. (Did you do that as a kid, when you wanted to pretend to be sick, so you wouldn’t have to go to school? When mom wasn’t looking you would put the thermometer against the hot light bulb to make the temperature go up.) It’s not really about you. It’s to measure impulses and pushes, and the herding techniques of the enemy. If you make it personal you will get so tangled in excuses, justifications, guilt, or condemnation that you will not discern what’s really happening. You will not discern self-doubt and self-focus that stops your God focus and God faith.

I tell people who have trouble with their parents, whether they are young or old, step back and look at them as a person and not as your parent. How does your ‘perception’ change? A mom should be like this or if my dad really loved me he would have… he never would have… Often when they step back and take the mom or dad label off that person, we see a completely different person. Perhaps the victim of their own parents or situations, just trying to operate and survive in the middle of their own problems with all they know (and all they know may be defective). Often they don’t know what to do but they have to do something, so they learn how to act defectively, often by using intimidation to hide their lack of ability and their pain. Stepping back and looking at them as a person helps you cope with them as a parent.

Now let’s use that same principal in our circumstances. Divorce yourself from the situation you are in now and see how it looks when God balances things in your perspective. Look at it from a third party vantage point, that of Jesus Christ. Don’t worry if it is after the fact and everything is already done, that’s okay, just clean up the mess. As you practice you will become quicker in discerning and soon at the first hint of it, you will rebuke it and decree balance. The enemy is after your God focus. Using this pattern we can watch and discern that it is the enemy and rebuke him.

Emotions

Emotions are turning points, so when the enemy cannot use the other things against you, this is his failsafe. Dutch Sheets teaches about atmosphere. He gives an example I will relate in my words, of coming home and everyone is arguing and fussing over nothing. He asked the Lord what will you do about this, and the Lord said basically, I have done what I am going to do. I died on the cross and that gave you the authority and power you need. What are you going to do? He took authority over the atmosphere in his home and within a few moments there was peace and everyone was actually laughing.

The enemy wants to keep us depressed, sad, grieved, feeling like a failure, feeling anger, frustration, etc. Remember emotions turn our focus. Jesus said in John 16:1 I tell you these things so that you will not be made to stumble. (or be offended). He will help us not be moved emotionally when we call on Him. II Corinthians 10:36 says, we are to bring every thought captive to the Lord. When we do that, not just once but as often as we need to do it, in order to combat wrong thoughts and emotions, we will watch the enemy’s plans fail. Thoughts and emotions work together.

Motives

Motive is not what you did but why you did it. I gave. That’s good. Why did you give? To feel good about myself, to be seen, to assuage guilt but it should be to obey God. The enemy will push wrong motives when he can. He will give you images of self exaltation (you being the one to pray for thousands), he will push carnal desires, manipulations, control, protections through what you do, etc. If the enemy can get you to do the right thing for the wrong reason, he has your focus. I knew a person who was very angry that the Lord told her to give me a certain amount of money. I had not asked for money, though I really needed it, but God told her sternly to give it me. She shoved a check at me and said God is making me give this to you. (Now understand this woman is very rich and this was a small amount of money for her but she was upset to give it.) I said, “No. I don’t want it. If you give it with such a wrong attitude and so grudgingly, it could actually curse me. I will trust God to give it to me some other way.” Motives count, which is the same as attitudes count. What you do and the attitude you do it with makes all the difference. Make it a habit to check your motives and attitudes.

Perspective

Perspective means how you look at things. You may see things clearly but from what vantage point? Is it flesh, do mode, your own pain, self, or mirrors where all you can see if yourself? Or perhaps it is through the eyes of someone you love or fear. For example, I want to do what God says but my husband might be angry.  I’m sure he wouldn’t understand. Your perspective is not God’s but your husbands. Or I love my husband and I know this would hurt their feelings, make them feel left behind or overwhelm them. Again we are looking at it through the eyes of a loved one and not the Lord’s. Perspective. Train yourself to His perspective, He takes all things into consideration.

Our focus and our vantage point are one. Remember we give power to what we look at and what we fear we worship. Changing our perspective can change a lot. Make it a habit to check your perspective.

Repositioning

Repositioning. Remember the prophecy I quoted from June of this year that said reposition and prepare. After you have taken your TEMP, there is something you need to do and that is reposition.

Repent, like a bulldozer heading off a cliff, stop – tell God your sorry for your sins or the sins of others that has tried to get on you. Turn around and go the right direction. Repentance is a God ordained tool that takes care of many problems.

Forgive, forgive yourself, others, God (though He has done nothing wrong, it is the only provided way to remove wrong emotions that accumulate against Him from our disappointments), and anything else you need to forgive – like your job, men in general, women, marriage, teens, etc.

Rebuke, Now that you have turned and removed the enemy’s legal access by repenting and forgiving, you can safely remove the enemy that entered with those things. We have the power to bind and loose, the power to cast out unclean spirits it says in Matthew 10:1. This is the time to clean house and remove all intruders and you are the house.

Wash, Wash in the Blood of Jesus and be clean. It may seem small but it makes a huge difference. It removes defilement and corruption. Let’s give an example of a rock being like the sin or wrong emotions, you remove it. Praise God. But the rock was covered with slime. Shouldn’t you remove the slime as well; Wash in the Blood of Jesus Christ.

 Dress, After a nice shower I like to put clothes on, don’t you. Let’s clothe in the righteousness of Christ. You may even want to put on the armor of God. But definitely dress in His righteousness, lest the Bible says, we be found to be naked before Him.

Balance, You have been caught up in the world or wrong emotions, take a moment and decree balance. Remember balance with yourself, balance with the Lord and balance with others.

Center Point, This is what brings your emotions and thoughts into alignment with the Lord’s. Like a pointer re-directed to point to the Lord again. You might think of this as spiritual alignment.

Re-Focus, Verbally decree and command your focus to return to the Lord. I say, I only have eyes and ears for You Lord, my focus and emotions are only for You. 

Though the list seems long, it only takes a moment to do those things. They can all be done in a couple of minutes. Our goal is to always be taking our temperature and realigning and re-focusing on the Lord.

Our Track

Every day is a journey. Every day and through the day, we need to line up with the tracks God has laid for our lives, which is the word and the glory. If you begin a journey along a straight line and in the beginning you get off only one inch, by the time you have gone a few miles you will be way off course and far away from your God given track. But if we learn to watch our track and reposition ourselves in the Lord, we will learn to stay on track. The longer we go with out taking our TEMP or lining up, the further off track we get, until right starts to look wrong and wrong seems fair and everything can be justified.

Ever see a person who had been a good or reasonable Christian get off track. Later you talk to them and they talk as though they never knew right from wrong; that’s what getting off track does, it destroys our perception and our truth. I want to encourage you to put a ruler in your Bible or pocket to remind you to line up, not only daily, but constantly. I anoint my feet daily and claim I walk in God’s ways. The scripture says His footsteps out our pathway. Psalms 85:13. Lamentations 3:40 says, we should examine our ways.

The word is His path, we need to soak in it physically by reading it and spiritually by soaking in the place God has provided where the word and the glory flow out for us. Notice it flows from under the throne of God in our life, in the place where God rules us. If there is a place God doesn’t rule in us, that is the place we will get off track. We also ‘walk’ in the glory by deep access worship and His anointing and believing that He loves us and is with us always.

The Crown

 At the top of the castle – your castle, is a crown. It belongs to the Father and He has given it to you. Like the throne it is not His  only crown but His crown for you. It has 12 jewels that stand for the character of God. In front is a big diamond that stands for God and on either side a blue jewel for the Holy Spirit and a red jewel for Jesus. Straight up from where the throne is to the heights of the castle above is the center of the crown, like a circle. We are to go there from time to time and just lie in the circle and soak in the character of God.

It removes things the enemy has accumulated against us. The enemy knows better than to hit us head on, but in each major push or attack if he can sneak in one grain of sand, he has something. Over a period of time the sand accumulates and then he forms it against us. Though it starts tiny, it is the little things that accumulate in our lives that bring us down. In this place we can soak out the things the enemy has accumulated against us.

The colors of the jewels may change from time to time based on what we need from the Lord, what aspect of His character we need to soak in. The crown stands for Jesus’ rule and authority over us and in us. It is the center point around the throne that goes up and connects us to the Lord. It stands for His rule and authority in every aspect of our lives; natural, soul, spirit and now the crown of our lives, our ministry and anointing. At this place of complete rule in our lives we connect to the Lord.

God has made a way for us to access Him more in preparation for the End Times. Now we need to honor that and use those things that He has provided for us. Thank you Lord that you have prepared a place for us. We accept it. Amen
