Times of Refreshing

We're entering another season of Passover. Nearing this prophetic timing, we have observed that the Lord will release a spirit of deliverance & deep cleansing that will take us from "freedom to freedom" every year. Our sins may be forgiven, but much of our forefather's sins and even specific personal sins need to be renounced.

"For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting (punishing) the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations..." Exodus 20:5

"Our fathers sinned and are no more, but we bear their iniquities." Lamentations 5:7

The Apostle Peter explained it this way "Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord..." Acts 3:19. In fact, for many years many believers struggle to enter the Presence of God and the prophet Isaiah addresses the main issue that "blocks" His Presence: SIN (see Isaiah 59:1).

During the Passover night in Egypt, God saved entire HOUSEHOLDS! And we're seeing it again because our God is the same yesterday, today and forevermore! Amen!

A brother in our midst was recently delivered of nightmares and family curses. After which, he's been sleeping soundly and has brought his entire family to be prayed for! Many can testify of breakthrough in their personal walk with God - they're praying more & reading the Word more! Glory to God!

Watchmen in the midst of Provision

By end of October 2011, God suddenly took us by surprise... again! Pastors Chris & Grace Glory were drawn back to the "hub of glory" in chilly weathered The Gateway, Coeur d'Alene, Idaho USA. It's been almost a complete 6 years since their first visit in 2006.

Whilst attending the Quantum Revelation seminar at The Gateway, they met artists who, during worship sessions, would paint what the Spirit inspired onto canvases. Hence, each piece of art comes from the glory realm.

It is not unusual for God to move through the medium of art. After all, ALL forms of creativity come from Him. In Exodus 31:1-6, we find a character named Bezalel from Judah. He was a gifted artisan and whom God said "I have filled him with the Spirit of God... in all manner of workmanship to design artistic works" for the Tabernacle.

Pastors brought home the painting above entitled "WATCHMEN IN THE MIDST OF PROVISION". It was painted by William Griffen during glory worship at the Gateway, taking 3 days to complete. The significance of the American Quail birds speak of provision, just like in Exodus 16 when God provided quails for the children of Israel. In the painting, there seems to be a gust of wind and autumn leaves changing colour, a sign of a coming winter. However, the watchmen quails are watching over a flock of baby quails even in the midst of impending gloom. God is assuring us that He is watching over us and YHVH JIREH will always provide.

Isaiah 62:6-9 was brought to remembrance.

I have set watchmen on your walls...

they shall never hold their peace day or night.

The LORD has sworn by His right hand

and by the arm of His strength:

Surely I will no longer give your grain

as food for your enemies...

but those who have gathered it shall eat it,

and praise the LORD... in My holy courts.

O taste and see that the Lord is good! He is watching over us in this decade of Ayin - His EYE is on His house & His people. He WILL always provide! Hallelujah!
