It is time for the Kings to prepare for war… January 2009

The Bride has crossed the Jordan and is moving into spiritual ‘Gilgal’.

Joshua 4:19 Now the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth of the first month and camped at Gilgal on the eastern edge of Jericho.

Joshua 4:24 That all the peoples of the earth may know that the hand of the Lord is mighty, so that you may fear the Lord your God forever. This is the season of His power and the peoples of the earth will know there is a God who rules and reigns over the Nations.

Joshua 5:7 Their children whom He raised up in their place… the Lord has raised up a generation with circumcised hearts to call His own, He has brought them across the Jordan and is now moving His beloved into Gilgal.

Joshua 5:12 The manna ceased on the day after they had eaten some of the produce of the land. We have sat in the pews and been fed manna from heaven and the faithfulness of the Lord it will always fall. When Israel entered the promise land the manna stopped. You can go deeper by getting out into the harvest and eating the produce of the land as you reap and sow the garden He has allotted you. The Spirit of the Lord says get ready for the battle is coming. We ready ourselves by declaration and walking out His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven.

Joshua 5:13 Now it came about when Joshua was at Jericho…He came face to face with the Lord and the Lord said I come now as captain of the host of the Lord. Then in verse 15 the Lord said remove your sandals from your feet the place where you are standing is Holy. This is a call to join Him, your calling is a Holy calling with the captain of the Lord of Host (battles)...

2 Samuel 11.1 Then it happened in the spring, at the time kings go to battle.We must prepare ourselves. Get deep into the Spirit and fight with goodness, kindness, and self-control. Declaring it is His battle and the victory is in us.

1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own possession, that ye may show forth the Excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.He is calling you! Everyone has a position in His Kingdom.

The Word that has come forth as we met at Elisha Springs…
The Lord said pray, prophecy, and worship heavy until Passover.
This is preparation for the battle to come.
We felt the same principle applied as Luke 6:38. We are not to fall back.

"Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure--pressed down, shaken together, and running over.
For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return."

Ezra 6:14 And the elders of the Jews were successful in building through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they finished building according to the command of the God of Israel and the decree of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.

They were successful in building at the prophesying of the prophets.

Ezra 6:19-20. The exiles observed the Passover on the fourteenth of the first month. 20. For the priests and the Levites purified themselves together, all of them were pure.
It is time to let Him purify us and surrender all to the Lord. To let Him get take the leaven out of our lives. This is what is coming...

Ezra 6:22 They observed the Feast of Unleavened bread seven days with joy, for the Lord had caused them to rejoice, and had turned the heart of the King of Assyria toward them to encourage them in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
Favor with governmental authority.

Ezra 7:10 For Ezra had set his heart to study the law of the Lord and to practice it, and to teach His statutes and ordinances in Israel.
This is a season to teach and release His Word.

Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you from being My priest, Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
God is turning the fathers to the children and the children to the Father. We are being brought back in to the deep revelations of the Word this season. Time to declare the law of the Lord.

Ezra 7:21 I even I King Artaxerxes issue a decree to all the treasures who are in the provinces beyond the river, that what ever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the law of the God of heaven, may require of you, it shall be done diligently. 23. Whatever is commanded by the God of heaven, let it be done with zeal for the house of the God of heaven, so that there will not be wrath against the kingdom of the king and his sons.
Favor with governmental authority. The lost will see the separation of Gods people. They will see by giving favor to Gods people and a blessing will come upon them.

Ezra 7:24 We also inform you that it is not allowed to impose tax, tribute, or toll on any of the priests, Levites, singers, doorkeepers, Nethinim, or servants of this house of God.
Such great favor is coming that Gods people will find themselves exempt and free as He moves upon the peoples to release the debt of the righteous. By the blood of the lamb we are debt free and will walk in this freedom soon.

Ezra 7:26 Whoever will not observe the law of your God and the law of the King let a judgment be executed upon him strictly, whether for death or for banishment or for confiscation of goods or for imprisonment.
Disobedience will be costly this season. The fear of God has been released and we have seen bad judgment’s cost much. It is time to be accountable to each other and stay away from gray areas.

Ezra 7:27 Blessed be the Lord the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this in the kings heart, to adorn the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem

The Lord is adorning his houses of glory, His living temples, with power honor and glory. The greatest is yet to come for the people of God. A powerful season and the death angel passes over by the blood of the Lamb and the power of His Word.

We can prophesy together grace, grace, grace, grace, to the building of the temples...
