This dream or vision is right on. Just prior to seeing this vision I share another one following which I (Desi Jakab) received the same day that I received this one on Email from our pastor’s wife, Marion Guenther in Mission, B.C. Canada
On 28th of March 2008 the Lord gave me a dream which had profound implications regarding the coming harvest. By Neville JohnsonArticle Forwarded on email: Monday, April 14, 2008
I found myself in the dream standing on a beach, the tide was almost full and somehow that seemed significant, the water gently lapped the sandy shoreline and a light colored mist hung over the water a few hundred meters offshore, the atmosphere was crisp yet warm. Suddenly a boat appeared through the mist heading towards me, a man was standing holding a tiller (leaver fitted to head of rudder for steering) and cheerfully called to me saying “do you want to come fishing?” I hesitated for a moment then said ok pushing the boat out at the same time jumping in. The man’s face emanated a glow that was not of this world, he had a rugged yet refined look; he seemed very focused and determined.
I had the strange feeling that I had been here before but could not quite put my finger on it, the boat quickly moved out into deep water and stopped, the water was teeming with fish and it almost seemed like the fish wanted to be caught. This man looked at me and said “my name is Peter” with that he threw the net out and what seemed like no time at all he was pulling it in again and the net was teeming with fish as soon as the fish hit the deck of the boat they turned into people of all ages. I was struggling to get my mind around this unusual phenomenon when Peter said “the final harvest must be reaped but it can only be reaped by those who have crossed the River Jordan”. Suddenly it dawned on me that in my dream I was talking to the Apostle Peter, before I could speak Peter continued. “Jesus was involved in two fishing trips while He walked this earth, one at the beginning of His ministry and one towards the end of his ministry”.
Luke 5:4-10 and John 21:6-8
Peter continued; “On the first fishing trip the net broke but on the second trip the net held, so it will be in this final harvest the net will hold, the net broke in the early church and much was lost but it will not be so in your day, those who have left the wilderness behind and have crossed over into the promised land are those who have one goal and motive which is only to build the Kingdom of God, jealousy, anger, selfish ambition no longer will hinder them nor spoil the harvest. Pride no longer motivates them and they have come into rest. The final harvest has begun and will increase in intensity until the end.
The end is now in sight the finishing line is in view, what began at Pentecost will finish in your day. The great cloud of witnesses watches with great joy and anticipation for the final consummation.
Just as the harvest began with one generation in my day so it will finish with this present generation in your day. My generation saw the foundations laid, your generation will see will see the building completed. There will be many in your generation that will overcome all things, even death, your generation saw tares sown into the harvest field, your generation will see all the tares removed. The harvest wave is upon you, you will accomplish in one generation what hundreds of generations have longed to see.
“The Feast of Pentecost must give way to the feast of Tabernacles your generation will accomplish that which the church could not over the past two thousand years. The glorious shadow that emanated from the early church was just that, a shadow, you will see the fullness of the glory of God in one generation manifested in such a way that nothing will be impossible, the miracles we saw were just a foretaste of what was to come”.
Peter paused, looking at the people in the boat he said “see how the boat has now grown” I was amazed the boat was now huge and was accommodating so many people it was impossible to estimate how many people were now in the boat. Peter continued …. “The seed of early church martyrs will blossom in your generation, one seed will produce countless multitudes in the harvest of your day, they watch with gratitude to the Lord for allowing them to be a part of what you will experience. This seed will explode into continuing ever increasing harvests until the Lord returns; they have waited to see this day”.
Peter looked at me and said; “tell the Christian leaders of your day if they seek to profit by this harvest and build their own kingdoms with the harvest, they will be destroyed. This harvest is Holy - this fruit is precious, if you cause any to stumble you will surely be destroyed”.
I felt the force and gravity of what Peter had just said, it hit me like a hammer blow and I had to steady myself somewhat in order not to miss anything more Peter had to say. Peter continued … “Purity of heart is required for those who are to be involved in gathering this harvest, it is the Lord’s harvest not your harvest, He has waited for this with great longing and anticipation” …
James 5:7-8 “Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 8. You must be also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draws near.” Finally Peter said … “Don’t be impetuous like I was, follow the Lord of the Harvest, true sons of God are led by the spirit of God”. I began to feel a holy fear which triggered a determination never to hurt or hinder the harvest, never to use it for my own ends and purposes. Peter looked at me and said “great grace will be given to your generation but great accountability will be required” with that he was gone and I awoke.
A Second vision from Canada: by Desi Jakab
(from: Feeding the Hungry Global Ministries)On April 14, I had trouble sleeping most of the night, but just lay there resting in the Lord. Finally after getting up and having a small breakfast, I went back to bed. I finally fell asleep and at 11am I had the following dream that encouraged both my wife and I immensely.
In the vision (prophetic dream) at first life seemed quite normal. We were in an area where shops were being shown and a service station for fueling cars, etcetera. It was beautiful and sunny day. Suddenly I said to my wife, and another person there with us, there are two bombs ready to go off, and we needed to get out of here. Our destination which turned to be a place of safety was close by: (“Safety is from the Lord” and also Psalms 91). Apparently the second bomb never did go off, and was not even needed. Also who the bombs belonged to or where they came from, and who was responsible for them - was never shown. All I know is – “There were two bombs and they were both ready to go off, and we needed to get out of there fast.” We walked and turned to our right, crossed the road. We also had this giant, beautiful bus (symbolic of ministry).
When God first gave to us the ministry “Feeding the Hungry – Global Ministries” in 2005, and when God sent us back to Africa in May 2005, I had a vision in which I saw a small white car, but now the ministry had obviously grown. Also, the first time we had gone to Africa in July 2000 we used to use a small white car much of the time for transport from the Orphanage to the big city.
In only a few moments and just having to cross the road, we suddenly were now at our destination and are inside this giant building – The Building of God’s Kingdom. (“In my Father’s house are many mansions” John 14:1)
There is a separate room just for my wife Martha and I, where we are resting and enjoying each other’s company and fellowship. When we go from our room we come to a giant building but we are only shown the one area closest to us. As we are now looking inside this giant building - it was so big and so huge I would not be able to tell the size, plus we were only being shown a small part of it. There is major construction happening and taking place here and I see other missionaries who are generals in God’s army, on roller blades. (Obviously they were building God’s Kingdom.)
The only one I recognized was Brent Borthwick, as he is carrying drawings (blue prints) in one hand, and in the other one he is carrying a piece of construction material. He as well as others: are literally flying around on roller blades. There are other people working there as well, some on roller blades, while others are busy assembling the work at hand. Things were being assembled and put together very quickly and phenomenally well.
(I thought to myself, I wish we could have had roller blades back in my younger days when I was working in construction.)
Of course this entire picture being show was the acceleration that had or is now taking place. Things were happening very quickly. God’s Holy Spirit was in charge of the building, which was being put together at a very fast pace!
Finally my wife and I go back toward the room where we had been resting, when I said let’s go and see what is happening outside. The bus is still parked in front of the building just as we had left it there - our children are resting inside the bus. But to my amazement, the buildings that were shown across the street as well as the service station, were completely gone now, the bomb had completely devastated the entire area, as if the entire landscape had been changed into a desolate wilderness. There were other bombs going off as well in the Middle East, as Israel had detonated some of them. As a result of the bombs going off, the oceans of the world were raging like never before. (The Oceans being shown are symbolic of the nations, as well as natural disasters taking place.) Because bombs had been now detonated in the Middle East and including Israel, the oceans of the world (the Nations) were in an absolute uproar! The devastations as they were being shown were so absolutely phenomenal!
The waves of the oceans, were coming in like tidal waves, and flooding the land as if they had gone right over their banks. Even the wheels on the bus were standing in water now, as the wind and the waves and the waters from the ocean was hitting the side of the bus as if it was a major rainstorm: but it was all coming from the uproar of the oceans waves.
It seemed like the only places of safety left on the earth, was inside the bus (symbolic of the ministry of God) where our children were asleep and resting, as well as inside God’s building, blessing and protection. Inside the building (of God’s Kingdom) the people seemed to be completely at rest, busy and totally unaware and not even anxious or worried about all the devastations that were taking place in the world around them: nor were they being affected in any way by any of it! They were just zealous with all that the Lord had given them to do! I finally said let’s go back inside. As Martha and I went back into the safety of the building we were a part of, the dream came to an end - as I woke up.
This vision or prophetic dream tremendously encouraged me, because it is one thing for the Lord to show us things years ahead of time, and then for us to know how we are going to be able to handle the situations that are ahead of us. Isaiah 24:14-16a In the midst of the devastations being described we find: “They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing; for the majesty of the Lord they shall cry aloud (worship will be heard from among the nations) from the sea. 15 Therefore glorify the Lord in the dawning light, (arise shine for your light is come) the name of the Lord God of Israel in the coastlands (or the islands) of the sea. 16From the ends of the earth we have heard songs: “Glory to the righteous (the righteous glorifying the Lord).” Seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things that God out Heavenly Father desires to do in our lives and through us for His glory and honor, shall be added unto us.” It is His harvest not ours, it is His work, not ours and it is all for His glory and not for the glory of man.
Possessing in us the very character of God, honesty, purity of heart, His integrity with humility goes a long way! Note, Luke 17:5-10
“And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith. 6And the Lord said, If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed, you might say unto this sycamore tree, Be plucked up by the root, and be planted in the sea; it shall obey you. 7But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat or dinner is ready? 8Will not the Master of that servant rather say unto him, Make ready the meal wherewith I may eat (or fellowship), make preparation (prepare yourself) and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward you shall eat and drink?” In Christ we are made priests and kings unto Him first. To make room for Him in our heart and life, and the preparation of the heart is so important! It is a must for us to minister to Him and to spend quality time with Him, and to prepare in our heart a place for Him every day is a must! Only as we minister to Him does He enable us to ruler over the nations (those ungodly areas of our lives) with a rod of iron. When I see people who are immature, and they race after the glory, the gold and use the kingdom and the harvest for their own selfish ambitions, I shudder to and tremble because I for one know that we need the Lord, more than He needs us! He does not need my help, and he does not need man’s intellect or ambitions and self glorification to get the true work of the harvest done, or to get His harvest in. All He desires from us is - Our Total Surrender and All of our Heart! Ruling and reigning on the throne of our heart, and where He is sitting in the temple of God – showing Himself – that He truly is God, and nothing of us, and nothing of the enemy! And in the end, Luke 17:9-10 speaks very clearly when it comes to humility:
“Does he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? Definitely not! 10So likewise you, when you shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, within the humility of your own heart, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.” “Without Me (Jesus) and apart from Me, you can of yourselves accomplish nothing of eternal value.” “Also what will it profit a man if he becomes so rich that he gains or even wins the whole world and he or she loses his own soul?”
“The heart of man is deceitful above everything else, and desperately wicked, who is able to know his or her own heart? I the Lord try the hidden motivations and the reigns of the heart and to give to every man, the reward after this life according unto their works.” Just because men prosper on this earth, does not mean that their hearts and the motivations of their hearts are right in the Lord. If that is the case then 2Peter 2:1-4 should have never been written. In closing:
Revelation 22:10-11 tells us, those who do not obey the words of the prophecy of this book, called the Revelation of Jesus Christ: Let those who are unjust, remain unjust still, and those who are filthy, remain filthy still and let those who come into the righteousness of God, let them remain in the righteousness of God forever, and those that are holy remain holy still (forever). And behold I come quickly and my reward is with Me, to give to every man according as his work has been. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” THE LORD IS NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH BUT THAT ALL SHOULD COME INTO REPENTANCE, AND BE PARTAKERS OF HIS DIVINE CHARACTER to the extent that when we are translated and transformed into the likeness of God’s Son, in that newness of life, God’s Character should become just as natural as breath itself! Outside of Christ of course this is absolutely impossible. “Abide in Me (Jesus) and I in you. I am the Vine, and you are the branches, without me you are able to do nothing:” but in Me you are able to all the things that please Me. Lean not on your own understanding, but when you lean on Me, you truly will be blessed, and truly will be empowered to do all that is required of you. Give yourself to Me says the Lord, and I will place the desires of My heart and make them your desires, and when you ask according to My will, I shall fulfill all the desires that are also in your heart. God’s way is the Only Way, and is also the Best Way!

Reigning in Life and Going Forward in God: The Resurrection of the Dead and Eternal Judgment: Revelation chapter 20: A Word Faith Teaching - Edited by Desi Jakab
The Bible tells us in Hebrews chapter 6:1-3 "Let us go unto perfection (that is) Go unto Maturity, Not laying again and again the foundation for repentance from Dead Works: but let us go forward and reach forward to the High Calling in Christ Jesus -- The Author and the Finisher of our faith! If Jesus Authored our faith when we were born into the family of God -- at the initial place of salvation, then we also need to be abiding in Him - so that He can also fulfill His own desire in me, as well as toward me: and this includes every single one of us. If He authored it as we yield and abide in Him He(Jesus) and the power of God's Holy Spirit will also finish the work in me and in you that They have started. Let us be filled with faith and give no room for the Devil - through unbelief! If we are to reign in life than let us also reign in His resurrection as well. To reign in His life is one and the same thing as reigning in His Resurrection.
This is why it is so important for the Holy Spirit of God to bring our old man the old self nature into the Eternal Judgment of God -- for if we judge ourselves we shall not be judged. Today is the Day of Salvation -- and not in the sweet by and by. Let us look at the following insights:
In God’s kingdom there is just so much to look forward to! In fact, God will take us as far as we want to go. I’m talking about depth, the deep things of God. And yet, as I’ve been thinking about how the whole concept of resurrection is perceived by many in the church, it’s like a lot of believers only see its relevance in light of an Easter Sunday sermon. Or others think that resurrection is all about our heavenly bodies, the rapture, or the second coming—it tends to be something in the future. It is present tense truth:Resurrection is actually an Elementary Principle: On top of that, some Christians consider the whole idea about resurrection, or the opportunity to actually raise the dead, to be pretty radical. But according to scripture, resurrection from the dead is part of the foundation of Christian belief. It’s actually an elementary principle! The Book of Hebrews, Chapter 6, verses 1 and 2, says:“THEREFORE LET us go on and get past the elementary stage in the teachings and doctrine of Christ (the Messiah), advancing steadily toward the completeness and perfection that belong to spiritual maturity. Let us not again be laying the foundation of repentance and abandonment of dead works (dead formalism) and of the faith [by which you turned] to God, with teachings about purifying, the laying on of hands, the resurrection from the dead, and eternal judgment and punishment. [These are all matters of which you should have been fully aware long, long ago.]” (vv. 1, 2, The Amplified Bible, emphasis mine).Still, even though resurrection from the dead is a foundational principle, in order to actually receive and walk in all the benefits involved in what resurrection promises, we need to have our minds renewed.DEATH NO LONGER HAS DOMINION: In this regard, in Part One, I shared about how I was developing a “resurrection mindset” and how I realized that the same glory (or resurrection power) that raised Jesus up after his crucifixion had not only touched me; it was working inside of me. Let me explain another aspect concerning this revelation; my point being—today, I’ve come to understand that “death no longer has dominion.” Romans Chapter 6, verse 9 says: “knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more. Death no longer has dominion over Him” (Rom. 6:9). Now, because I am a born again believer and I believe that death no longer has dominion, and since sickness and disease cause death, then I have the right to refuse the diseases of the world, the viruses, the sicknesses, the bacteria—or whatever exists in the world that brings death. I refuse it! Now, I don’t deny the circumstances; I mean if you have cancer, or a tumor, it’s real. But there is something about when your body begins to understand that your spirit is raised from the dead—“But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you” (Rm. 8:11) Cancer! You can’t live here! The same goes for poverty. Poverty is death. Look. Any kind of oppression in your life, any kind of torment, any kind of depression—it’s the work of the devil—and it is defeated because death no longer has dominion! In fact, death has to bow! It bowed to Jesus wherever He went. Can you imagine how tense darkness became every time Jesus showed up on the scene? The Lord would show up and devils would start screaming. And the dead were raised!—(See Mk. 5:7 and Jn. 11:38–44.)Likewise, when believers know who they are in Christ, sickness and death must bow! For example, when I’m ministering in a crusade, I think like this: The death around me in this crusade isn’t allowed to be at work here! Since death no longer has dominion, I take my God-given authority and make a decree; then whatever is of the “realm of death” has to bow to resurrection! There are times when I walk into a room and the diseases in people’s bodies can only hold on until I cast out a (demonic) spirit with a word. “I see you, devil. Get out!”DEATH IS ALWAYS ROOTED IN SIN: Now let’s go on to Romans 6, verses 10 and 11: “For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God. Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.” So, count yourselves to be dead to sin in the same way—in that Jesus counted Himself dead and resurrected—count yourselves dead and resurrected. That means death no longer has dominion over you! Equally, don’t let sin reign—“Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts” (v. 12). Friends, there is a place where because we love Jesus, we obey His commands; and because there is a love, we don’t want to wound His heart. After all, we’re in a covenant relationship with Jesus Christ and we don’t want to hurt the One we love. There is a choice—if you let sin reign, then death reigns because the power of death is always rooted in sin—especially willful, habitual sin, offense, bitterness, and un-forgiveness. In fact, it wasn’t until one man sinned by disobeying God that sickness, poverty, bondage and death came into the world and spread to all mankind (Rom. 5:12). Initially, the one, Adam (and Eve) brought the curse, and it became the curse of the law. Then every conceivable sin that you could imagine, every conceivable sickness or disease, came into the curse. But we were (and are) rescued from the curse because ultimately, the One, Jesus Christ conquered death. Through His death and resurrection, our sin and death are defeated and now both freedom from sin and resurrection can spread to all mankind!“For just as [because of their union of nature] in Adam all people die, so also [by virtue of their union of nature] shall all in Christ be made alive” (1 Cor. 15:22, The Amplified Bible). “The first man Adam became a living being (an individual personality); the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit [restoring the dead to life]” (v. 45).The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death (Rom. 8:2). Look. There is a law! That law of sin and death is a spiritual law and all of hell is ready to back-up that law. But the law of the Spirit of life, the law of resurrection in Christ Jesus, has made me free from the law of sin and death and all of heaven is ready to enforce that law! Therefore, the truth is, it’s a law that I’m not sick (sickness can be defeated)! It’s a law that I’m the blessed one. It’s a spiritual law: “Devil you can’t hold me down!” There is a law of the spirit realm, the law of the spirit world, the law of resurrection! But, in order to ensure your freedom from the curse of the law, don’t miss these three vital principles: First, remember, the law of sin and death can only be broken by Jesus Christ and if you’re born again. Second, God can only enforce the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus as you do your part by confessing your sins and asking Him to forgive you and cleanse you (according to 1 John 1:9). Third, you must also take responsibility for wielding your authority against the enemy’s attacks, but you can only do a thorough job if you know who you are in Christ.Then the ruler of this world (the devil) has nothing to hang on to, no claim on you. After all, Satan couldn’t do a thing to stop anything Jesus did! Why? It was because Jesus was without sin—“. . . the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me." (Jn. 14:30). That’s what I’m aiming for! How about you? As I said last week, only the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of holiness can help us conquer what the flesh wants. True overcoming only happens as we abide in Christ, not having our own righteousness “which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith.” And overcoming happens by knowing Him: “that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,” (Phil. 3: 9, 10, emphasis mine). You can’t even get to the power of His resurrection until you can say, “I know Him!” There will be no power of Christ’s resurrection working in your life unless you know Him intimately. It’s about intimacy, but not just an intimacy wherein you spend time with the Lord. I’m talking about being “one in the spirit.” (Study John 17:20–23). Then God’s glory is sure to shine through you and the people around you will notice this—“Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus” (Acts 4:13). Friends, when you’ve “been with Jesus” like Peter and John you’ll know what real faith is.REAL FAITH BRINGS REIGNING AND RESURRECTION POWER:Look at what Paul the apostle said about faith: “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me” (Gal. 2:20, emphasis mine). It bears repeating: “the life that I now live, I live by faith. . .” You see, you’re not going to have resurrection without faith. We must understand what faith, real faith is and how faith works! As a matter of fact, get every book, get every series that you can on faith! Equally, always remember that faith and intimacy go hand in hand. Just as I said in Part One, if intimacy with God is lacking there will be no reigning and resurrection power, so too, anointing will not manifest without you being full of faith.TAKE STEPS TO PROTECT YOUR FAITH & PRESS IN ALL THE WAYSo we need to remove the unbelief. Actually, Jesus “removed unbelief” by having the people who were in fear and/or unbelief leave the location where He was about to perform a miracle (Lk. 8:51–55). Because there is something about being sure that those that are with you are just as “in faith” as you are. Unbelief hinders miracles. Jesus, Himself, was hindered from doing miracles in his hometown because of the people’s unbelief (Matt. 13:58). For instance, I’ve had meetings where I was full of faith, but other people there brought their unbelief into the meeting and their lack of faith hindered the flow. I’ve had to say on a few occasions, “If you don’t believe and you’re a skeptic, I want you to leave the meeting right now.” Until they left, I could not move in the realm of miracles fully. So protect your faith. Put boundaries in place to protect what you believe. Here is an example of what I mean by “boundaries.” Sometimes there are certain influences—it might be from the people around you who want to challenge your beliefs—yet not in a positive way. But when you have worked through your Christian beliefs with good, sound, mature, men and women and, for instance, you believe that healing and prosperity are inherent in salvation; protect that belief. There are things that I won’t even entertain because I don’t want to mess up my groove. I won’t even debate it. I don’t want to be sidetracked or waste my time by allowing such things to get into my grid!Faith is something you go after and you keep. “God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him” (Heb. 11:6). Contend and be aggressive about pressing in. The Bible says: “And from the time John the Baptist began preaching and baptizing until now, the Kingdom of Heaven has been forcefully advancing . . .” (Matt. 11:12 NIV, emphasis mine). So keep warring, don’t let up; be persistent like the widow (Luke 18:1–8). She just kept coming to the judge, asking for justice and in the end the Lord said, “Hear what the unjust judge said. And shall God not avenge His own elect who cry out day and night to Him, though He bears long with them? I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” (vv. 6–8).Press in, contend and be aggressive like the Prophet Elijah, after he discerned that rain was coming. He went into intercession seven times on Mount Carmel, each time sending his servant to check and see if rain was on the way (1 Kings 18: 43–45). So don’t stop praying and believing mid-way. Pray through till you’re convinced, based on what God already said and begin to walk in an attitude of thanksgiving even if your circumstances aren’t changing. Remember, you’re pressing in for what you know God wants you to have. Receive what He said, by faith; yes, acknowledge the circumstances, but at the same time, what you have received from God by faith is more real. HAVE FAITH IN THE WORKING OF GOD: ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE ONLY BELIEVE!
Resurrection happens through faith in the working OR the operation of God. Not by our own might, and not by our own power -- but BY MY SPIRIT SAYS THE LORD! Let’s take a look at Colossians Chapter 2, verse 12: “buried with Him in baptism, in which you also were raised with Him through faith in the working of God's Holy Spirit, who raised Him from the dead” (Col. 2:12). There is a connection between understanding the effective working of His power, the power that works within you and me, and the outward power that manifests. An example would be when someone is healed in their body when the manifest power of God is evident in a meeting, but it works according to the connection between the manifest power, outward manifest kingdom power, and the power that works within you. Also, instead of being so focused on getting more power, we need to focus more on having faith “through the working of God.” We need to understand how the power that’s on the inside works and begin to focus on strengthening the inner man, and learning how to tap into the anointing that we already have on the inside. So we need to build ourselves up and recharge the “dynamo of God's Power” of the “battery” that we already have on the inside. And one way to build ourselves up in our most holy faith is to pray in tongues. In faith you and I are able to activate the “Dynamite of God's Power" it is like a generator! That needs to be constantly fully filled and ready to go. As we Abide In Him (Jesus), when God shows up, and we are hear His voice ("Whatsoever He says will come to pass!" Through faith and working with God, resurrection life and power will manifest!The dunamis generator is directly connected to the virtue of Christ that’s inside you and me—“Christ in you” (Col. 1:27). It’s a river that works on the inside, 24 hours a day. It’s like a generator, seven days a week. Let God be God in your life and in my life -- let the Holy Ghost (Holy Spirit) rule and reign within us by the Glory of His Power that is above all powers: for they are the powers that Romans 13 talks about. Recently - a police officer acquaintance contacted me - to tell me under no certain terms that I was not in the Lord because I was failing to recognize -- the servant of God -- in other words according to his understanding and most people's understandings -- those verses in Romans 13 is talking about this world's kingdoms and the ones that carry the sword is the Police officers in the World. That is a good way to start another cult?? Why? I shared the following with him: Please Note:
In the book of Revelations 20:11-15 we find that NOBODY EVER GETS AWAY WITH ANYTHING!
In the end it is God that will have the last say in all things and in every person’s life who has ever lived on this earth: and even Hell is going to give up the dead in it – and will have to stand before God on that Day: The Eternal Judgment of God.
And this is why I say:
With God nobody gets away with anything. My prayer is - may we all be on the right side of God. My experience with all the evil God exposed me to back in 1996-1998, not to mention all the other times as well, and the people who did deliberate wrong I did not know how to forgive them, let alone love your enemies like Jesus said. But I learned and am still learning. May God bless us All! And may God bless all the families that have been devastated and hurt! In my own life I have had three personal friends who actually died and came back to share their stories: and one of them actually describes exactly what Revelation 20:11-15 describes, I have his testimony on tape. One of the other friends saw exactly what I was shown in January 1980, and as we were talking about our experiences – I began to draw a picture of what I actually saw – the minister’s wife, helped fill in the details, as I was at their house in Nakusp BC at the time. If I was to share these true stories it probably would put goose bumps on anyone hearing them. All three stories amazing and all three people actually came back into this life to tell about their experiences. In the case of one of them, his spirit man was heading toward the wrong place – where he did not want to be in. As he saw himself heading to that horrible place, he cried out to God saying, “God, Please - I do not want to be in that place!” He was only 19 years of age, and God gave him a second chance. He is still alive and lives here in Abbotsford, BC. Canada
I myself have been literally raised off the death bed two times: Once in Johannesburg, South Africa in December 2000 and then again in October 2006 in Amsterdam, Holland. In both of these situations we were on our way home from Africa. This life is much too short – it is like the grass that comes up in the morning and is cut down in the evening, or else it is like a vapor.
The following is a dialogue that took place between a police man friend and I who emailed me in February 2009: he was upset with me for the way I have stood my ground regarding two young men who had been railroaded into making a false confession to murdering 4 policemen when they were not the one's responsible for the crimes; And here is my answer that I sent back to him: and I believe there are some interesting, and some very important insights why there are things being done in the name of religion and and falsely applying to the world and its systems and actually creating another cult! But this involves the Police and some misguided views regarding the teachings of the Apostle Paul (in Romans 13) as well as the teachings of Jesus! When we read in John 6: where Jesus is telling the people as well as His disciples - "Unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood you have no life in you." Those were very difficult words to understand: and then Jesus also said - "The words that I speak to you are Spirit and they are Life - the flesh profits nothing:" Let us remember that as we look at the rest of my story and dialogue! Then in 1 Corinthians chapter 2 the Apostle Paul also tells us - "the things of God are spiritually discerned" and not by the natural minds of men!" Please keep that in mind as well: Thank you!
Dear Friend: thank you for letter and in part your word to me you say; "Give your head a shake Desi and repent from your attitude to “God's servants" - Meaning the RCMP and all police officers:
I am sorry David but you err greatly in both your heart and interpretation of those scriptures in Romans -- was Nero in the first century - the servant of God or of Satan??? Were the Nazis in Hitler’s Germany -- servants of God or of Satan???
Where the Communists who imprisoned thousands of Christians and under Stalin's regime murdered millions - were they the servants of God or of Satan? Let us not get God's kingdom mixed up with Satan's kingdom and let us not apply God's word to this present Evil World or this present Age - when it is talking about God's Servants: there is a big difference my friend: Jeremiah 17:5-10 speaks ever so clearly "The heart of man is desperately wicked, and also full of deceit" and only God is able to know what is truly in the heart of a woman or a man -- be it a police officer or anyone else. "Outside of Jesus Christ -- All have sinned and come short of the Glory of God."
You also say: "You are wrong - biblically, legally and morally. David please ask Jesus to give you a revelation of Jesus Christ -- and a revelation of God's heavenly kingdom -- and do not mix the world and its systems to be -- suddenly - to mean: Servants of God. The Apostle Paul was talking about the true servants of Jesus Christ -- and not the servants of another kingdom. Do we obey the laws of the land? – definitely! -- Do we do the right - and follow directions? – definitely! -- But when it comes to obeying God rather than obeying man and his evil ways -- Definitely Not! The prophet Daniel's book and the examples of the Hebrew children in it are a wonderful example: and even Jesus telling the Roman soldier - "Do no man harm" - as He did - what kind of a commandment was that? When they are trained by the systems of this world to kill, to arrest and to prosecute??? God's laws are much higher than what the laws of this world are!
As a police officer - please do not justify every rotten thing used - like they done throughout history to enforce the laws passed by the wisdom of the men of this world, with the passage from Romans 13. That is not what it is truly saying -- it is talking about Gods kingdom and the true servants of the Lord: and not the evil practices that go in the Devil's kingdom. Check it out and ask the Lord to truly speak to you -- and to show you clearly. God bless you, I love you brother and please have a look at the following: Please do not justify, extremely corrupt and wicked methods used in this world's operations with Romans 13 - those scriptures are being taken out of context and in fact they are not talking about Nero's wicked government in Rome during the First Century AD, nor is it talking about people who are instruments in the hand of Satan and using very evil practices to incriminate innocent people. -- I appreciate the fact that you have been a police officer possibly all of your life -- but you do not justify wicked and evil practices -- by taking God's word out of context, and saying they are ordained by God, and they are servants of God???
Those passages aren't even talking about the systems of this world. Ask the Lord to give you a true revelation of that -- and what it is truly talking about and what is being said in those passages! The natural mind of man (which is an enemy of God Romans 8) interprets in only one way -- but the Spirit of God will give you the true insight of what the Apostle Paul is talking about! No different than the Revelation of Jesus Christ: most Christians and even churches today have no idea what those passages are all about -- they are simply The Revelation of Jesus Christ - Which God the Father gave to His Son of Himself: the life character and nature of God imparted, and made manifest in the flesh - to give it unto His Servants -- to follow the true example of Jesus. If you can understand that you will come to understand what God's true servants are and also what Paul is talking about in 2Corinthians 11:13-15. The world and its systems - are definitely the Devil and his kingdom, an angel of light -- and his servants can also be appearing to be servants of righteousness - not only disguising themselves in the world but also in the churches and the pulpits of men – and this is how cults have been born: --And without Christ they are all lost to a lost eternity -- and you know that yourself. We are in the world, but we are also not of this world. And maybe you are right -- if one thing I need to repent of it is this -- not get involved in the affairs of this life - and just focus on the Kingdom of God! Thank you.
There are so many things that can steal our joy and rob us of the blessings and of the glory of God - that we need to be seated with Jesus in the heavenly places and not with Devil and his angels on this earth. Woe woe woe to the inhabitants of the earth - cries the Spirit through the angel of God - because of the trumpets that are yet to sound in Revelation chapter 9.
There are seven experiences we all must pass through in order to come into the fullness of the maturity of Christ, and none of those things take place by us arriving there through the natural mind of man or the carnal interpretations that we are able to put into God's word. The Lord Bless us All!!!
