The New Creation - The Fullness of Christ in you - The Commander of the Armies of YHWH
When I opened my phone on the Sept 29, 2016, I had received a message, which had a picture of the spiritual battle taking place in the spiritual heavens! The center figure of the warriors in the spiritual heavens are depicted as a Mighty Warrior having a mighty Sword in his right-hand! When I saw this Mighty Angel I was reminded of the Angel that appeared to Joshua and told him that He was the Commander of the Armies of the LORD. Then I got very excited about sharing the same revelation God had given me, revealing the great mystery that the Angel of the LORD is Jesus Christ!
The Commander of the Armies of YHWH
Joshua 5:13-15 When Joshua was by Jericho, he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing before him with his drawn sword in his hand. And Joshua went to him and said to him, "Are you for us, or for our adversaries?" And he said, "No; but I am the Commander of the army of the Lord . Now I have come." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped and said to him, "What does my Lord say to his servant?" And the Commander of the Lord 's army said to Joshua, "Take off your sandals from your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy." And Joshua did so. [Exod. 3:5.]
The Commander of God's Armies is Jesus Christ! When we are in battle with our enemies the Great Prince stands ready to defeat the works and strategies of Satan against your life!
Allow the Mighty One of Israel - The Prince of peace - Jesus Christ - to rule in your heart and over your circumstances today!
Allow the fullness of the Morning Star to rise up in your heart - as you pay close attention to the prophetic word of the prophets that was made sure through Jesus Christ!
Realize who He is who lives in you today! Realize the love God has for you and the authority and power He has and which He has given you and NOW lives in you!
The Angel of the LORD
It was He who appeared to Moses, Joshua, Manoa Samson's father, to Jacob, David and Daniel! Then He was called the Angel of the LORD
Isaiah 63:8-9 ESV: For he said, "Surely they are my people, children who will not deal falsely." And He became their Savior. In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the Angel of his Presence saved them; in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old.
Malachi: BEHOLD, I send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me. And the Lord [the Messiah], Whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; the Messenger or Angel of the covenant, Whom you desire, behold, He shall come, says the Lord of hosts. [Matt. 11:10; Luke 1:13-17, 76.] But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap; [Rev. 6:12-17.] He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and He will purify the priests, the sons of Levi, and refine them like gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord offerings in righteousness. Malachi 3:1-3 AMPC
Daniel: AND AT that time [of the end] Michael shall arise, the Great [angelic] Prince who defends and has charge of your [Daniel's] people. And there shall be a time of trouble, straitness, and distress such as never was since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the Book [of God's plan for His own]. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake: some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt and abhorrence. [John 5:29.] And the teachers and those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness (to uprightness and right standing with God) [shall give forth light] like the stars forever and ever. [Matt. 13:43.] (Dan 12:1-3 AMPL)
Sign of many angels Appeared
Now as I was typing these things, while sitting in my car outside, great signs started to appear to me in the sky.
Signs of Clouds looking like whirlwinds and angels appeared in the sky! I knew what these whirlwinds referred to angels, because of that which was written: "Indeed, when speaking of angels, he says, ". . . who makes his angels winds and his servants fiery flames," (Heb 1:7 CJB) This sign also reminded me of former signs, which had appeared to me in the sky before! God, who loves us confirmed His Word through the accompanying signs, revealing an unlocking the scriptures for us!
In spite of ALL this - the Holy Spirit brought up one MORE reason why this great sign appeared to me on that day:A two weeks before I asked God for a FREE venue WHERE we can have our 'REIGNING THROUGH GOD'S LOVE AND POWER' conference? I had two possible venues: One in the north, a 300 seater and the other in the west, only a 65 seater guesthouse! I was wondering where we would have this conference! At that time I had NOT yet asked God WHICH one I should take? Should I go BIGGER or more INTIMATE? North or West? Well guess what our immense loving God, who is full of wisdom, and whose timing is perfect, did?
He gave me a sign, WITHOUT me before I have asked for it! Another sign appeared to me in the sky...As I drove out to go and pick up our son, still wondering which venue to choose, my eye was drawn to the clouds in the sky in the WEST! There was NO OTHER clouds in the entire sky all around that I could see, except in the WEST, in the direction of one of the possible venues, towards the West of Centurion - Mnandi. A large sign of a HUGE ANGEL APPEARED in the sky in the WEST!
Immediately knew in my spirit that God had answered me prayer! BUT He was doing MUCH, MUCH, MUCH MORE!!! When I saw this sign I realized that God. in His great wisdom, through this sign was also referring to the Conference we were going to have in a months time! This sign made me very excited, giving me a great expectation of what God was going to also do at our coming 3 day conference on Nov 4-6, 2016: “Reigning through God’s love and power”!
He - Jesus Christ, the Son of God is the COMMANDER of the armies of God, the angels!!!
The Feast of Trumpets Maybe the greatest question of all should be why did this sign appear to me on that day?
I think I has something to do with the Jewish NEW YEAR - called Rosh Hashanah - which was in a few days! The day falls on a VERY significant day - It falls on the the first day of the seventh month called Yom Teruah or the Feast of Trumpets! NOW you will be amazed at what God is reminding us of through this sign that appeared to me on the morning of Sept 29, 2016!!
The Apostle Paul prophesied about the coming of Jesus Christ and the time when He will come to take away His bride, the 5 wise virgins, saying:
13 Now also we would not have you ignorant, brethren, about those who fall asleep [in death], that you may not grieve [for them] as the rest do who have no hope [beyond the grave]. 14 For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will also bring with Him through Jesus those who have fallen asleep [in death]. 15 For this we declare to you by the Lord's [own] word, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord shall in no way precede [into His presence] or have any advantage at all over those who have previously fallen asleep [in Him in death]. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a loud cry of summons, with the shout of an archangel, and with the blast of the trumpet of God. And those who have departed this life in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we, the living ones who remain [on the earth], shall simultaneously be caught up along with [the resurrected dead] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so always (through the eternity of the eternities) we shall be with the Lord! 18 Therefore comfort and encourage one another with these words. (1Thess 4:13-18 Amplified)
Here Paul says Jesus Christ will come with a shout of an Archangel! Will Jesus come WITH the Archangel Michael or will He come and speak WITH the VOICE of The Archangel?
In other words: Will Michael blow the trumpet OR will Jesus blow the trumpet? Whose voice will it be?
Let's see: Joh 5:25 Believe Me when I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, the time is coming and is here now when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear it shall live. 26 For even as the Father has life in Himself and is self-existent, so He has given to the Son to have life in Himself and be self-existent. 27 And He has given Him authority and granted Him power to execute (exercise, practice) judgment because He is a Son of man [very man]. 28 Do not be surprised and wonder at this, for the time is coming when all those who are in the tombs shall hear His voice, 29 And they shall come out -- those who have practiced doing good [will come out] to the resurrection of [new] life, and those who have done evil will be raised for judgment [raised to meet their sentence]. [Dan. 12:2]
Let's see whose VOICE is like a trumpet? Rev 1:10 I was in the Spirit [rapt in His power] on the Lord's Day, and I heard behind me a great voice like the calling of a war trumpet, 11 Saying, I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last. Write promptly what you see (your vision) in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia--to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea. 12 Then I turned to see [whose was] the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 And in the midst of the lampstands [One] like a Son of Man, clothed with a robe which reached to His feet and with a girdle of gold about His breast. [Dan. 7:13; Dan. 10:5] 14 His head and His hair were white like white wool, [as white] as snow, and His eyes [flashed] like a flame of fire. [Dan. 7:9] 15 His feet glowed like burnished (bright) bronze as it is refined in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters. [Dan. 10:6] 16 In His right hand He held seven stars, and from His mouth there came forth a sharp two-edged sword, and His face was like the sun shining in full power at midday. [Exo. 34:29] 17 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet as if dead. But He laid His right hand on me and said, Do not be afraid! I am the First and the Last, [Isa. 44:6] 18 And the Ever-living One [I am living in the eternity of the eternities]. I died, but see, I am alive forevermore; and I possess the keys of death and Hades (the realm of the dead).
Our God and Saviour - Jesus Christ - is came to remind us that the time is at hand for the DAY when the GREAT TRUMP is about to blow! Let us live is such a way to be ready always, so that we would NOT be caught like a thief in the night!
The Great Mystery of the Ages - Christ in you
He was not only confirming where He wanted the conference to be but also what He wanted to be taught and revealed to us at this conference and through the teaching. He also revealed and confirmed a GREAT MYSTERY to me through this POWERFUL SIGN!
God was advertising His own event! We ARE NOT building our church, but HIS CHURCH, that is also WHY we have no name for our ministry or church! It DOES NOT belong to me or any of us, BUT TO HIM!!! Yeh GOD!!
The Commander of God's Armies is Jesus Christ! When we are in battle with our enemies the Great Prince stands ready to defeat the works and strategies of Satan against your life!
We must allow the Mighty One of Israel - The Prince of peace - Jesus Christ - to rule in our hearts and over our circumstances today!
We must allow the fullness of the Morning Star to rise up in our hearts - as we pay close attention to the prophetic word of the prophets that was made sure through Jesus Christ!
God also wanted me to realize who He is, Who lives in us today! God want us to realize the love He has for us and the authority and power, which He has given us and NOW lives in us who believe!
God, through this sign confirmed that He, through the Angel of the LORD, who appeared to Moses, Joshua, Manoa - Samson's father, to Jacob, David and Daniel also appeared to us IN Jesus Christ and now lives in us through the NEW MAN! (Heb 1:1)
At that time of old, in the Old Testament, God appeared in a different form to man through the Angel of the LORD!
It was HE that the prophets prophesied about when they spoke of the Angel of God:
The prophet Isaiah wrote: "For he said, "Surely they are my people, children who will not deal falsely." And He became their Savior. In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the Angel of his Presence saved them; in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old." (Isa 63:8-9 ESV)
The prophet Malachi prophesied about our the day of Christ. saying: "BEHOLD, I send My messenger, and he shall prepare the way before Me. And the Lord [the Messiah], Whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; the Messenger or Angel of the covenant, Whom you desire, behold, He shall come, says the Lord of hosts. [Matt. 11:10; Luke 1:13-17, 76.] But who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap; [Rev. 6:12-17.] He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and He will purify the priests, the sons of Levi, and refine them like gold and silver, that they may offer to the Lord offerings in righteousness. (Mal 3:1-3 AMPL)
The prophet Daniel saw the last days, and prophesied: "AND AT that time [of the end] Michael shall arise, the Great [angelic] Prince who defends and has charge of your [Daniel's] people. And there shall be a time of trouble, straitness, and distress such as never was since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the Book [of God's plan for His own]. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake: some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt and abhorrence. [John 5:29.] And the teachers and those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness (to uprightness and right standing with God) [shall give forth light] like the stars forever and ever. [Matt. 13:43.] (Dan 12:1-3 AMPL)
He - Jesus Christ, the Son of God is the COMMANDER of the armies of God! He is Himself the LORD of hosts. The armies or hosts of heaven being the angels of God. Glory to God who speaks to His people even today through signs and wonders.
