Hebrews 4:12
"For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged
sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow,
and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."
At the recent Elijah List sponsored, Fresh Fire and Master Potter Ministries'
joint Glory Week Conference with Todd Bentley, Jill Austin, Bobby Conner, and
Paul Keith Davis, the Angel of Counsel and Might visited Jill, Todd and two
of his interns at two different locations but in the same time frame.
November 15, 2003
I experienced a profound angelic visitation about the sword of the Lord, end
time martyrdom, and the key to apostolic authority that I will share in the
next three teachings. This encounter with heaven offered me fresh, new revelation
detailing a shifting in the heavenlies. I believe that it is a kairos corporate
word to the Body of Christ. Today's word is about the Sword of the Lord that
He is right now releasing corporately to the Body of Christ.
Angel of Counsel and
Might
Bobby Conner rushed in late into the morning session that I was ministering
at. I greeted him and grabbed his hands in a morning hello. The moment I touched
his hands, I felt a portal of glory open up above me. A huge angel, 30 feet
tall towering above me, suddenly was knocking me around the front of the room.
I could see the glint of a brilliant sword in His hands, and golden sash. The
heavens started to open, as angelic activity moved powerfully throughout the
room. A realm of revelation and angelic activity permeated the atmosphere as
I ministered prophetically to the people.
Simultaneously, this mighty angel visited Todd in His hotel room and offered
him the sword. It had a ruby stone in its handle, and the blade of the sword
was inscribed with Hebrews 4:12. Todd knew that this was the revelatory anointing
of discerning hearts and thoughts. Then the angel told Todd that it was for
Paul Keith who was ministering Saturday night. That afternoon Todd moved powerfully
in words of knowledge under an open heaven.
I Just Want to Kiss Your Heart Lord
Later that night, Paul Keith was ministering, and a corporate realm of God came
into the room. Bobby Conner encouraged the room to ask for a prophet's reward
- to specifically petition God for a request. I started crying out to Jesus
silently, "Lord, I know that I need to minister to everyone since this is the
last meeting of the conference, and the people are so hungry and desperate for
more of You. But Lord, if you were to give me just one thing, I wouldn't want
a title, name, or money, I would just want to kiss Your heart."
As Paul Keith was closing the meeting, he quietly tells me that there was a
huge angel on the side of the stage and asks me if I want to come up. I immediately
replied "yes" and came on the stage.
Pierced by the Sword of the Lord
Suddenly, the power of God hit me. I was violently flung to the ground. Swiftly,
without warning, a huge living sword was literally plunged into my chest. Pinned
to the ground, I looked up and saw a huge warring angel towering approximately
30 feet tall standing in front of me. By revelation, I instantly knew that this
same angel of the morning, the Angel of Counsel and Might, who was piercing
me with the same sword of Hebrews 4:12.
As this realm of heaven engulfed me with liquid fire and glory, I could not
move. Finally, when I was able to get up my hands shot out in front of me and
I was holding this awesome living sword of light. The sword was drawn before
me, as lightening shot from the blade into the eternal realm.
Standing behind me, the Angel of the Lord was holding my hands. I was this little
child, engulfed in His arms, as we held this magnificent shimmering sword together.
The sword was the living Word, full of authority, and as I held it, the fear
of the Lord and the holiness of the Eternal One radiated throughout my being.
Living Word of God: Release from William Branham
Paul Keith explained later Sunday afternoon the significance of this verse:
Many prophets minister through the help of angels who offer prophetic revelation.
However, William Branham, a prophet who moved in a very unusual signs and wonders
during the great healing revival of the fifties did not merely minister with
an angel. Rather, the Living Word would stand on stage with him and release
a razor-sharp revelatory anointing of discerning between thoughts and intentions
as this verse prophecies. Branham, like Paul Cain, operated under an open heaven
with an unusual word of knowledge: Names, addresses, sickness - intensely detailed
information - was readily available through the sword of the spirit.
Paul Keith explained that in 1956, William Branham had released a key word that
the healing wave was over because America had grieved the Holy Spirit. America
had missed the revival. Paul Keith explained that a generation (40 years) later,
in 1996, God reversed that decree in a meeting with Bob Jones, Paul Keith and
a descendent of William Branham through an incredible prophetic turn of events.
Zadok Priesthood
The Lord revealed to me that this sword was the Zadok priestly sword, as in
Ezekiel 44:
Ezek 44:23-24
"And they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the unholy,
and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean."
Ezek 44:15-16
"But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary
when the children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near Me to
minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me to offer to Me the fat and the
blood," says the Lord GOD. 16 "They shall enter My sanctuary, and they shall
come near My table to minister to Me, and they shall keep My charge."
Bobby Conner also offered great revelation about this sword. He explained that
God's definition of profane is more than just something that is empty, worthless
and without eternal value: It is doing anything that God has not initiated.
He said that if we target anything that God hasn't targeted first, we become
a target. Zadok priests operate in a greater level of discernment and are able
to separate the precious from the profane.
There is a higher wisdom available from The Throne of Heaven. The Zadok priesthood
is a sign of a royal priesthood coming forth with a higher maturity in the prophetic.
These priests operate in more than a gifting - but rather in an intimate relationship
with the Living Word of God - Jesus Christ.
Background: Sword Symbolizes Changing Garments
From Priestly Robes to Kingly Authority
Zechariah 3:3-5
"3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and was standing before the
Angel.
4 Then He answered and spoke to those who stood before Him, saying, "Take
away the filthy garments from him." And to him He said, "See, I have removed
your iniquity from you, and I will clothe you with rich robes."
5 And I said, "Let them put a clean turban on his head."
I believe that this visitation, as we will see in the next two messages offers
a corporate invitation about a new Joshua Generation emerging. I believe that
history books will record 2001-2008 as one of the great seasons of transition
for the global end time war drama ahead. Since The Feast of the Tabernacles,
there is one common beat pulsating across the cities and nations that I have
witnessed: God is changing the guards in His global Joel 2 end time army, as
He is remantling His Bride in new garments of not only wearing the priestly
but also the kingly authority that have never been fully released.
Changing of the Guards
First of all, with three apostolic fathers going home, Bill Bright, Derek Prince,
and Kenneth Hagen Sr., there has been an outpouring in the spirit realm of increased
leadership falling on the shoulders of the next tier of global end time war
generals. God has released a greater Samuel-like prophetic anointing to set
kings in place, reposition and establish key players on the chess board of the
government of God. A new level of authority and accountability is on the horizon.
In order to understand my visitation it is necessary to understand the following
context of the movement in the Spirit: We have just finished a 21-day fast at
The International House or Prayer, under the directorship of Mike Bickle mandated
from Zech 3 and 7. The Lord revealed that just as in Zech 3, God is changing
the garments corporately over the Body of Christ as He combines the two offices
of the king and the priest in an unusual and unprecedented way.
New Levels, New Devils
A great promotion is on the horizon; however, all areas of darkness must be
brought into the light because our level of abandonment must rise to meet the
greater level of authority God wants to give us. For just as Satan was accusing
Joshua in Zech 3, there is increased satanic attack ahead to thwart the outpouring
of God. Right now, there are unholy anti-Christ alliances that are networked
across the globe of which we catch glimpses of: terrorist cells, international
thievery in finances in the kingdom of God, and mouse-traps or Haaman's noose
have been set by the enemy in an attempt to try to take out God's Joel 2 Army.
For why is Satan trying to sift us? He is trying to delay and even abort a new
end time apostolic outpouring that is just around the corner.
This is a key season of transition in the spirit. We must have ears to hear
and eyes to see what the spirit of the Lord is saying because if we don't respond
rightly in this moment, we will be left behind in the changing of guards and
the shaking of everything that can be shaken.
Signs in the Heavens and Earth
Zech 3:8
Hear, O Joshua, the high priest,
You and your companions who sit before you,
For they are a wondrous sign;
For behold, I am bringing forth My Servant the BRANCH.
As in Zech 3, God is making us a wondrous sign, as forerunners, of how He is
about to pour out His spirit and give us greater access to the angelic, apostolic
authority and a realm of glory. We will be walking signs, ahead of our time,
testifying of a power explosion that will hit the entire earth.
The heavens also reflect this unusual Holy Spirit activity: For example, this
summer's Mar's unprecedented proximity and alignment to earth, the recent historic
solar flares, the lunar eclipse, Leonid meteor shower, and the total solar eclipse
just a few days away on November 28 all shout to how God is desperately trying
to get our attention.
I believe in the scheme of things that this time period leading into the Call
Dallas has a specific, strategic mandate purposed to help the unfolding of God's
sovereign plan in pouring out His later reign glory.
Sword of the Lord Is Available to All:
I believe that Todd and my angelic encounters, the releasing of this sword to
Paul Keith, the keen and key prophetic interpretation to Bobby Conner, and my
own visitation of encountering the Living Sword of God reveals that this is
a prophetic picture for the Body of Christ as a whole. Like piecing together
a puzzle, we all operated in a cluster anointing to put together all the clues
in the spirit of what God is saying.
I believe that we, like Joshua in Zechariah 3, are a living sign of an impartation
God is releasing in his hour not just for Todd or myself, but to all. The Lord
is releasing a Hebrews 4:12 living Word of God sword to all who are willing
to pay the price for it. If, like Joshua, we exchange our filthy garments for
the rich robe and clean turban God is offering, the Zadok sword will be placed
in our hands by The Angel of the Lord.
God is changing our weapons of warfare. We cannot model them by elements of
the past. For the Lord is not only changing the guards, but remantling the
Body in new garments. As we learn the difference between the profane and holy,
and use this season of grace to fall on the rock lest the rock fall on us, we
will wear new garments in the spirit.
Joshua Commissioning:
There is a Joshua commissioning in this hour. It is not enough to, like Moses,
deliver God's people from oppression and bondage. God is anointing Joshua's
to take the promised land.
And as God went with Moses, so He is going with us.
As we embrace both the priestly and kingly garments, grab hold of this living
sword of the Lord, and believe for another even greater healing revival greater
than what Branham saw, God is telling us one statement: "You have not been this
way before!" (Joshua 3:4)
The Sword of the Lord Part 2: Preparing for
End Time Martyrdom
Rev 12:11
"And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony,
and they did not love their lives to the death."
At the recent Elijah List sponsored, Fresh Fire and Master Potter Ministries'
joint Glory Week Conference with Todd Bentley, Jill Austin, Bobby Conner, and
Paul Keith Davis.
November 15, 2003
I experienced a profound angelic visitation about the sword of the Lord, end
time martyrdom, and the key to apostolic authority that I will share in the
next two teachings; this encounter with heaven offered me fresh, new revelation
detailing this shifting as I believe that it was a kairos corporate word to
the Body of Christ; this word, the second of a three part series, is about the
how the Lord is raising up dead men walking: Those who will love not their lives
even unto death.
Part 2 of the Visitation Continues...
After receiving the Sword of the Lord [narrated in Part 1 of our three part
Word], the Lord took me to a deeper place of revelation as I was suddenly whisked
under the wide expanse of the wings of this great warrior angel. We began to
fly. First, we were soaring above cities and nations, and then as quick as lightening,
I am gliding through the heavens over a smoky thick glory blanketing the great
expanse below. Fire was raging all around and through me as we flew into realms
of eternity.
This mighty warring angel had such weighty governmental authority from heaven.
He had the face of a lion and then that of a man. A fierce holiness and glory
radiated from his countenance. This ancient messenger was called the Guardian
of The Glory. He was released to protect the name and fame of our Lord.
As I went up into the heavens, as far as my eye could see, legions of warring
angels were waiting for a word from the Captain of the Host to release them.
The sound of horses and chariots rumbled in the distance as huge warring angels,
dressed in military attire come forward. The Lord showed me that these were
ancient angels who had been gathered specifically for this end time hour. They
were simply waiting to be released and for the fresh mandates from the throne....
The second half of The Sword of the Lord Part 2 and
Part 3 will be posted tomorrow.
