November 23, 2007 Theresa Phillips AND Bill and Marsha Burns: "THREE DOORS to OPEN this HOLIDAY (HOLY DAYS) SEASON--LIFE CHANGING DOORS of OPPORTUNITY" Intro by Steve Shultz: I enjoyed a powerful time when I spoke at Theresa Phillips' conference in Chicago this year. Her ministry is one of several GREAT ministries we are in touch with and I have spoken at in Chicago. We are working on promoting Kim Clement to come out to Chicago soon. Theresa has a heart and even a history in knowing and praying for government officials. I like it when some of our writers share their vulnerable ways as they walk out their Christian lives. We are not perfect people--simply perfected (Sanctified and Justified) by the Blood of Christ. She will by no means be the only Chicago ministry we will highlight, but she is an important ministry in Kane County, Chicago, IL. We want you to know about her ministry, along with her husband, Rob. While there in Chicago, I saw gems that a little child had received from Heaven. I know that signs and wonders follow Theresa. Be blessed by her experiences and her word from the Lord for 2008.

Through a series of circumstances, God showed me that there will be three doors opening for this holiday season. The first door will be a "Door of Thanksgiving." The second door will be a "Door of Christmas." The third door will be a "Door of New Year's." We will Accelerate in 2008! God says, "There will be an advancement of My Kingdom to the Governmental seats. I will open the doors of government, officials and the higher-ups. Proclaim My love and My need for them." says the Lord! We are learning to walk and live in the Prophetic Realm of GOD. Can we recognize it when it happens, even in our everyday circumstances? It happened to me and here's the story of the circumstances I encountered one day in a very practical manner: While sitting at my kitchen table, I was made aware that my laptop computer was not working properly. I assumed that my webcam had been somehow dropped and needed to be repaired. After numerous hours of trying to fix it, I finally decided I would have to go buy another one. But after purchasing a new webcam, I later realized that it was my computer all along that was in trouble. So I decided to take it to the "Geek Squad." When I walked out of the door, I discovered that I had left my keys in plain view on the counter, inside my house. I called my son, but he was not close enough to our house to help me and my husband was at work. There I was, outside in the cold, and a bit annoyed to say the least. Then, on the mobile phone, my son said to me, "Just jiggle the back door, Mom. That is how I always got in." I thought to myself, "I will deal with him later." Of course, jiggling the door did not work for me. Then I heard the Lord say to me, "Go to the front door." I knew it was locked, but I obeyed the Lord and went to the front door anyway. On the way, I tripped over the rocks that were covered up by the fallen leaves. I was cold and I cried, "I need a miracle!" "Go to the front door," He said again. So I went. Standing in front of the door I shouted, "I need a miracle because I know it’s locked!" As I touched the latch, it opened with more ease than it ever had before. I flew inside my warm home, grabbed my keys, and thanked HIM so much! I was nearly undone! As I drove to the store, I was getting annoyed again because of all the traffic. I was worried that I would get to the store too late. As I entered the store, the doors were open for me. I swept in, went to the "Geek Squad," and asked for help. As I was explaining my plight to a young man, I noticed a tiny feather was falling in front of me. So I said, "Praise You, Lord! Look at this tiny feather!" The young man just looked at me. I said, "Look at my sweater!" The right sleeve was being covered with sapphire and ruby dust, and it was quite visible! I told this young man that this sign from God follows me. He was quite interested. It was a witnessing tool. He could not help me with the computer, but he said, "May God go with you and help you!" I had to go to another store to get help, which was where I originally bought my computer. I sighed and thought that they wouldn't be able to help me. As I entered that store, the doors swung open for me again. Another young man was at the door saying, "How are you today, ma'am? Can I help you?" By faith I told him I was blessed, when in truth I was very angry. I went to the man in charge of the computers (even though I knew he would not be able to help me). He told me he would send my laptop out to be repaired, but it would take time to get back because of the holiday. I was not happy BUT I began to see that I needed to confess to him that I was not angry with him. I had to let him do his job. But to my surprise, he told the company to save my data before working on the computer. That was a real blessing! He also told me it had to go to a person "higher up" than he to fix it. I left the store with an empty computer bag and the need to get some work done on the computer, all the while, praying inside for a miracle to happen! The Lord spoke to me again and said, "I have a word for you to share with the people." God was very clear about this word! I realized that through these circumstances, I HAD JUST WALKED OUT THAT VERY PROPHETIC WORD! The Meaning of the Doors The First Door--The Door of Thanksgiving: The Second Door--The Door of Christmas: The Third Door--The Door of New Year's: "This Holiday Season will be a Spirit-filled one. Be ready to find Me and continue to ask for more! Three doors will be open, walk through them," says the LORD. Malachi 3:1, "Behold, I will send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before me: and the LORD, whom ye seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the covenant, whom ye delight in: behold, He shall come, saith the LORD of hosts." Revelation 1:1-3, "The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants what must soon take place. He made it known by sending His angel to His servant John, who testifies to everything he saw that is, the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. Blessed is the one who reads the words of this prophecy, and blessed are those who hear it and take to heart what is written in it, because the time is near," says the Lord.

Bill and Marsha Burns: Spirit of Prophecy Bulletin The Trumpet by Bill Burns--November 20, 2007: "I say to you, My people, that I am about to bring you in this season, between Thanksgiving (November 22) and the Celebration of Life (December 25) in this year, open doors that will reveal themselves as you seek Me. They will be absolutely life changing doors of opportunity. Watch and you shall see them, for they shall begin to open. Watch for the light as the door begins to open. When you see the light, go through and receive the blessing of a lifetime," says the Lord. "But, if there is darkness do not touch; do not handle, for the enemy will also entice you through his doors. The only way you will know is by the light as you walk in the Spirit." Small Straws In A Soft Wind by Marsha Burns--November 20, 2007: "Changes will begin to occur in the spirit realm before you ever see the physical manifestation. This will create a strange spiritual atmosphere that is unfamiliar and perhaps even disconcerting. But, I say to you that it is important that you maintain your equilibrium and poise of soul. Stay calm and trust Me in these times of transition. Let Me lead you through in perfect peace. You must also let go of things past before you can embrace what is ahead. Be fluid as you yield quickly to the pressure of the circumstances that move you in the flow of My will," says the Lord. Jeremiah 17:7- 8 "Blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, and whose hope is the LORD. For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, which spreads out its roots by the river, and will not fear when heat comes; but its leaf will be green, and will not be anxious in the year of drought, nor will cease from yielding fruit."
