The Canopy and the Open Heaven

I have good news for you if you don’t think you’re ready. Through it all, you were destined for this purpose and you will again minister,

I keep on seeing old time wagon wheels emphasizing the hub and spokes.

A HUB represents Apostolic government in motion.  Along with five-fold ministers of Apostle, Prophet, Pastor, Teacher and Evangelist are within all offices in a HUB.  Read Ephesians 4.

Many hubs with spokes are coming together into positioning quickly.  Many of these haven’t realized they had been made and prepared for such a time as this!

Those who are being elevated as five-fold ministry, are shocked as they look back thinking, “someone has made a big mistake and obviously lost their minds.”  Many think they are not ready.

I have good news for you if you don’t think you’re ready.  Through it all, you were destined for this purpose and you will again minister, but you will wear a white cloak of humility, holiness, and Integrity will radiate from your faces!

Developed through trial and tribulation, you have been branded as mine and I have chosen and prepared you ever so carefully.  However in their minds, they no longer see the object of leading others as a goal in mind.  They have counted the cost and would rather be in a supportive role like a spoke.

“As Moses thought he wasn’t usable due to his failure, I prepared him and he was the meekest man that ever walked the earth.  Moses didn’t start out that way.  As these remember the burning bush, these will understand, it’s not by might or power but by My Spirit,”  says the LORD.

“I mature you My beloved, through hardships and all sorts of pressing, loss and death in so many ways.  My chosen ones finally realize and know what the price is for serving Me; It is called death to self.

Many will quickly balk at this revelation, and step quietly away, then others will rejoice when they see it’s true!”  says the LORD!

Hear the word of the LORD!  “You are ready!  Get in gear!  You shall move through places it has taken other’s months and years to complete!  Like Moses was prepared on the backside of the desert, so have I prepared you!

There are many ministry platforms being erected along with support roles for the functioning of the entire Hub and spokes.  I have spoken and time for unveiling has come.

A HUB is Apostolic.  A hub is like a wagon wheel, with hub, spokes and outer wheel.  Apostles often can be understood symbolically.  A pioneer spirit with a wagon and wagon wheels speaks to be connected via spokes to be functional.

The spokes speak of various ministry connections that are lining up.  These are all different but have the corporate vision, and anointing.

These do not lose their identity in Me, in the process.

Spokes means five fold ministry connections to the hub.  Once the parts and spokes are connected, then the outer wheel will be added.  Then the wheels can move and go places within the pioneer’s directions and leading.

There are those who are stationary, but in their position these shall become strong pillars or poles that bring stability and order by MY Spirit,”  says the LORD!

“I don’t dwell in houses of man’s making but I shall cover My beloved under the shelter of My wings.”

Vision:

I can see huge pieces of canvas like material used to create a canopy or tent being unfolded.

The network is being formed into a greater measure.  Each link crisscrossing at the national and international level and there are greater and more advanced HUB’s releasing others into their ministries as many have been prepared on the back side of the mountain even as I prepared My servant Moses who was the meekest man ever known.

The time is short and laborers are few.  I AM advancing and training My elect with a quick work.  The great net is being sewn, seam to seam, being mended to house the network structure support.  These network’s shall hold up the great tent being unfolded in the heavenlies.  For a open heaven shall manifest says the LORD.

Stretch the cords, anchor the stakes and spare not! Make sure to stretch forth the canopy for the incoming glory and ingathering of all the catch in the networks.

I see such overhanging shelter or shade; a covering as a canopy of clouds for the great network and the great catch of harvest.  For the glory of the LORD shall be manifested and great witness of the gathering of souls of men.

I will reveal My protection, splendor and such revival that has never been seen in history. Such an ingathering from the great network and the canopy and covering over each link to link.

There shall be connection to connection and structure to structure, more support and more coming into connection.  They are coming and you must prepare beloved!  The great canopy or tent is being erected for protection and care of the souls that are being gathered in.

I AM LORD and preparing a canopy of authority that shall cover the globe.  Each pole or pillar and each stake are positioned deep and anchored on the rock.  The poles are points of stability.  The LORD is preparing ropes or support to hold the structure tightly.

Canopy speaks of temporary shelter designed for moving on the earth.  For the LORD does not dwell in earthly temples made of men’s hands.  The canopy is for man’s sake.  This canopy is the glory cloud, for the GLORY OF THE LORD SHALL BE REVEALED ALL FLESH SHALL SEE IT TOGETHER, FOR THE MOUTH OF THE LORD HAS SPOKEN IT!

Under the canopy, I saw as far as the eye could see.  I saw flames of fire from various hubs coming from the ground, and upon further investigation found the source of the fire to be open oil wells.  These flames could be seen for miles under this canopy.

I also saw oil coming up out of the ground that was tapped so the oil was directed to the precise location of the greatest need.  There would be those that would come to the hubs and ignite all those around you as the fire is spreading!

There would be those, a new generation to come and tap into the well of oil and they would come and fill buckets with the oil, filling up their lamps.  The people then could light their lamps and great illumination would come to different areas under the canopy.

Outside of the canopy was gross darkness and I saw the hand of God pulling back the darkness like a curtain, and then I saw lots of little lights coming from all directions coming to the greater light.  Single lamps all walking in the light they have have been faithful and they seek the corporate anointing and corporate authority.

Between the flames of fire and the lamps, the light was like the midday sun in some area’s but there are so many who are still in darkness yet their light has not failed and these walked in what light that these were given.  Many during this season, are seeking out the greater light and the fire under the canopy, these are the hungry and thirsty and they will not be denied says the LORD.

I also saw many wells and springs of water in various places under the canopy.  Many springs springing up spontaneously in many different locations under the canopy, like a fountain comes up and sprinkles over a pool.

Then I saw geysers like “old faithful” spew forth intermittent jets of hot water and steam.  I also saw hot springs bubbling forth purity.  This water came into contact with the hot rock below the surface and produced the steam of release.

Many of MY old Faithful ones shall continue to spew forth what is hot and not lukewarm and bring release to the captives says your God.  Look for the wisdom in old faithful and the ancient path that I shall place in your life says your God!

“Sing, O barren, thou that didst not bear; break forth into singing, and cry aloud, thou that didst not travail with child: for more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, saith the LORD.
Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; for thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left; and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and make the desolate cities to be inhabited.
Fear not; for thou shalt not be ashamed: neither be thou confounded; for thou shalt not be put to shame: for thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproach of thy widowhood any more.  For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; the God of the whole earth shall he be called,
 (Isaiah 54:1-5 KJV).

Come Closer in Intimacy and Dependence

If you are truly dead to the flesh, don’t demand an apology! Realize you are dead and your life is hid in Christ.

The secret to power with God, is in our intimacy and passion towards him. There are no short cuts in developing a relationship; it takes a lifetime.

A person who is dead to the flesh, doesn’t care about what people say about or against them. If they are talking bad about you, that is your proof you are doing something right for GOD!

If you are truly dead to the flesh, don’t demand an apology! Realize you are dead and your life is hid in Christ.

For your sake, release the offense and let them go! Why? Because the longer you hold onto the person with a grudge, the more your crucified flesh comes back to life! Once done, you can easily get into trouble and loose your sharp edge!

We becoming dull without feeling and then we find our self having a spirit of offense that sets up squatters rights!! Forgive the person and let them go!!! Give no place to the devil in your life!

We want our life hid in Christ for He covers us by his blood!

So while we are in this life as we die daily to our flesh, we should see ourselves as cracked earthen pots that house the glory of God! We host the King of glory on the throne of our hearts as we willingly host and breathe his presence.

Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the church: Whereof I am made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God; Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present everyman perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily. Col 1:24-29 KJV

“I am calling you away closer in intimacy and dependence on ME says the Lord. The closer you remain in me the further away you get from this world’s system. I AM calling you to live from a different system. My system, says the Lord!”

The Big Top

The atmosphere was heavy with amusement and the expectations of entertainment. I heard the word “comedy.” I saw the taming of the tiger and in one ring was a person putting his head in a lions mouth.

“How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel! As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river’s side, as the trees of lign aloes which the Lord hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters.  He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters,”   Numbers 24:5-7a KJV.

In prayer I saw a big top tent used for a circus.  I saw three rings in the inside where exhibitions were performed.  There were spectators on both sides on bleachers with balloons, eating cotton candy, peanuts etc.

The atmosphere was heavy with amusement and the expectations of entertainment.  I heard the word “comedy.”  I saw the taming of the tiger and in one ring was a person putting his head in a lions mouth.  During this scene, the crowd applauded the men who were “taming the tigers and lions.”

The center ring was used for the main attractions, usually the trapeze artist, tight rope walkers, live canon shots etc.  I kept hearing, “Entertainment and Comedy.”  The crowd seemed to go wild the more dangerous the acts were.

I saw a clown with a frown and he was dressed and looked like a hobo.  This clown had a tear in his eye and down his face.  This clown was known as an outcast of the clowns.  Rarely was this clown allowed into the rings especially the center ring, and he stayed mainly on the outside of the rings and would mingle with the people as to get their attention off what was going on in the rings.

This clown was known as “Weary” as he would try to take an old broom to sweep the spot lights away from the rings and try to put the spot lights out.  This made the ones in the rings very angry and they would harass the clown.  This clown was very sad because no one quite understood the messages he tried to act out.  This is why he was so adamant about putting out those spot lights.  Because of his message.

The Big Top represents what a lot of Christians are sitting under, a circus type atmosphere.  The three rings are the counterfeit version of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The various acts are all designed to get the eyes focused on the actors instead of the TRUTH.  This also represents “one night stands with the Lord,” or prostitutions of the anointing.  Making something look real when it is not.

The taming of the tigers and lions are an example, because they are already tamed to do the act, just as the devil plays the game to make it look good so folks believe that they are right in their perceptions.  The people in the stands were eating junk food and quite swept away with the actors.  For they could not discern between what was real and not real because of their chosen diet, and the lack of the WORD of GOD.

The clown with a frown and tear that looked like a hobo represents the prophet and those who have been chosen of God to help get the focus back on the Lord through the various techniques HE shall use.

The clown or prophet would take the broom to try to sweep the spot light off of the entertainment.  His tear and frown represent the burden of his message, and the tears for the peoples release from deception and error.  The silence spoke volumes and the pantomime or acting out of the true prophets message would often go misunderstood, and he would be persecuted.

The sheer volume of noise in the place, and the desire of the people to see more spectacular acts would motivate the people to curse the clown and shout at them to make them shut up.  The clown was the outcast just like many prophets and Christians are that are proclaiming the truth.  It is the LORDS will that our focus be placed back on the main attraction of HIM and HIS WORD.

“But it seems to me that God has given me and the other  apostles the last place.  We are like men sentenced to die.  We are like a show for the whole world to see, angels and people.  We are fools for Christ’s sake.  But you think you are very wise in Christ.  We are weak, but you think you are strong.  You receive honor, but we are hated.  Even now we still do not have enough to eat or drink or enough clothes.  We are often beaten.  We have no homes.  We work hard with our own hands for our food.  People curse us, but we bless them.  They hurt us, and we accept it.  They say evil things against us, but we say only kind things to them,”   1 Corinthians 4:9-14 ICB.

Have we become entertained in the church and deluded because of it?  Have we depended on others to lead us in the right path instead of allowing the HOLY SPIRIT to guide and lead us into all truth?

Like those in history have we evolved into an organized pagan church with just the outward shows but no inward changes?  We the church must repent of these things, for the sakes of our deluded brothers and sisters. We have a work to do, to point people to Jesus so they can find eternity with HIM.

“For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord; because they called thee an Outcast saying, This is Zion, whom no man seeketh after.  Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will bring again the captivity of Jacob’s tents, and have mercy on his dwelling places; and the city shall be builded up her own heap, and the palace shall remain after the manner thereof,”   Jeremiah 30:17-18KJV.

Recognizing the Prophet

We need to know what the office of REAL PROPHET is and they will be needed for guidance during blinding circumstances coming to America and the world.

We need to know what the office of REAL PROPHET is and they will be needed for guidance during blinding circumstances coming to America and the world.

You won’t know a true prophet for what they wear, eat or drink, contrary they will not be known for their charisma.  They will be well known by God and shy away from people trying to elevate them.  You will see them weeping in the midst of meetings completely different from the rest who are auctioning for money, “if you give a thousand – God will give you a Rolex.”

You will see them weep and pray as they watch pulpiteers taking the glory that only belongs to God and puffing up a person for their accomplishments.  You will see these weep as they walk out of meetings in the middle of what is seemingly important and the Spirit of God will be with them.  The spirit will weep through them and grieved by the sin in the camp.  They will oppose the meeting and give glory to God by WALKING OUT and not listening to gain sayers.

Those pseudo ministers inside, will be lead by familiar spirits that are anointed by satan.  YES, there will be an anointing. and that is the most confusing portion to people, as they want to believe the best when God is grieved with the whole lot.  People will say, “What a meeting!  Did you see minister so and so do that?”  Only God gets the glory and I warn you, if you see or hear ministers glorifying anything other than God, get OUT!  The Spirit of God does not contradict the WORD.  Please read and pray and bless those who sacrifice for your souls.

When a prophet shows up, the man or woman doesn’t have to say a word.  The demons will recognize a prophet long before people will, and will seek to silence them.

Do NOT, I repeat  DO NOT stand in the way of God’s will, for even in compassion, we can get into trouble.  Stand back and watch what the Lord will do.

People think it is mean to have to confront sin.  God thinks if sin isn’t dealt with, the ministry will be ruined and souls left for satan.  IF the five fold ministry was not allowed to operate, there are holes and avenues where the enemy keeps his strong holds.

Pray for the prophets and all the leadership as God is sweeping his house, refining over and over his ministers and burning the chaff and uprooting what tree will not produce good fruits.  This season God will lay the axe at the root of the tree.

It hasn’t been a easy process, but God has to break off all constraints that would hinder the prophet from speaking thus say the Lord.  Believe me, you can be standing in the midst of people you love, and have to deliver a word and YOU KNOW it is GOD, and the Lord gives that prophet confidence and often the confidence is misread as pride, cockiness, haughtiness, when in fact it is confidence to face those who oppose Gods will without flinching, and to stand in a whole group, and you, seemingly being the only one who is seeing it.  Jezebel makes sure to remind a prophet how alone they SEEM and how much they suffer to shake the faith of the prophet.

God does give the mature prophet assurance in mind and heart.  Yet the entire relationship with Christ is what the prophet lives for.  Remember to pray for those who walk in this place and if you know a real prophet, be a blessing to them.  Pray for them.  They get enough negativity and hell they walk through, yet God gets them to a place where there is no fear of man, only the pure fear and reverence of the Lord.

The mature prophet knows that he or she knows what they carry is right, and the strength to carry the word is powerful on them.  However, the true prophet has been so broken, they not only don’t want to do it, but don’t want to be seen, for it never fails that anointing will arise, if sin is in the camp.  I have seen it happen over and over.

The prophet doesn’t enjoy having to face adversity.  They are every bit as human as the next person, but they cannot love man over God.  That is a true living statement.  A true prophet, will want no profit or glory.  They only seek to give glory to God and be hidden in the Lord’s breast, to hear his heart beat.

True mature prophets are so broken and humble, they avoid all flattery and people trying to lift them up.  There is no profit in being a prophet except the closeness to the Lord and knowing that the Lord will be glorified.  These have given up everything, and are willing to give everything else if asked, because nothing will hold them or restrain them except the Spirit of the Lord.

It is not glamour and glitz, but on the contrary, humility and death to anything in life.  Don’t be surprised if a true prophet shows up in camel hair and eating crunchy crickets and wild honey.  Some are wild and they provoke an action to reaction to get to the heart issue.  Why would God provoke a heart to action to reaction?  It isn’t because God doesn’t know their heart, it is because God wants THEM to see their own hearts.  Big difference.

Remember when Elijah had to go to King Ahab?  He met him on the road and the king asked, “Have you come to trouble Israel?”  So we see that prophets facing leaders of all sorts and the devil uses a mirroring technique to try to shake the prophets will to obey.  They try to make the prophet think they are confused, like Jezebel did, and still does in churches today.

Elijah was anointed with a message to the gods of Israel.  “I have not come to trouble Israel but YOU king Ahab.”  As you read this, apply it and pray and bless those you know who walk in this office.

God will bless you.  Remember to let the writer know you are encouraged by the word from the Lord.  For it comes to help build you up into maturity.  To bless a prophet is to be blessed and to curse one is to curse God.

May God keep you conditioned to receive from whatever vessel HE chooses.
