Juan Carlos Ortiz prophesied of a Holiest Place generation
I've never done more than 6 weeks in the evangelical thing . Nearly none of the Jesus Move have . Many in the Jesus Move went from Enlightenment raised atheism and humanism and crashed through two states into what is , in the heavenly tabernacle the second room experience .. ..the Holy place .
So I honestly don't know what trying to do a going into your inner room thing is like as an evangelical .
The point of tongues , the point of the release of the Holy Spirit , is to zap you into the reality of these things . That was why Jesus suffered so badly and then was able to give everybody the three keys through Peter .
Repent .
Be baptised in water
Be filled with the Spirit
Today's Move of God like Juan Carlos Ortiz prophesied , does the full Ephesians hit !!!!
See , as it says in Ephesians ....Jesus never raised us in Christ and left us in an ante room , saying " ok wait just there , I'll see you later ".
He didn't plonk us in the Outer Courts with an ice cream .
He didn't put us in the holy place with some Bethel Redding earbuds . " Just sit right there and enjoy the Charismatic level ,while I just have fellowship with the 24 elders ".
No , Jesus raised us in Himself and has us seated with Him in the heavenly places .
One of the reasons we are baptised in the Spirit with fire and given the gift of tongues is because our poor Tavistock BBC occult mind is so far out of the loop , and having to catch up , God connects our spirit right away to accelerate us in Himself .
If baptism in the Spirit drove the normal Jews who didn't believe in Jesus as the Son of God nuts ....think what they felt about complete outsiders who had never done their 1700 years or whatever since Abraham .....Corinthians , Asia Minor people , Romans ..... No nothings spiritually from a Jewish standpoint .
We don't know what that's really like , but we do know what dynasty's of State Anglicans thought of us in the Jesus Move . We were teens and we were telling them .....them ...them.......about Christ .
Bishops , ordained Religious Instruction teachers , Anglican raised kids and adults . I'd not had much to do with Catholics until Germany . Anglicans were bad enough . And as for the Methodists I was raised with .....they didn't like me at all .
The Holy Spirit is given to
Convict us of sin , righteousness and judgment .
He is given us to be our Comforter , our military strengthener , our relating Friend , our Indwelling God .
He is our Teacher .
He is sent to lead us into all Truth so we don't go down spiritual cul de sacs.
He teaches us how to pray . He helps us in our weakness with groans and utterances too deep for words . If we ask anything in Jesus Name , conformed to His Person , it will be done for us .
Having been inside the worldwide tribe who took church from the firstlevel to the secondlevel I already had to ' leave ' my earthly family once .
I didn't leave geographically until later , but people like Benny Hinn and myself knew what it was like to even be in the same house as others , while part of that generation relocating church on earth .
We and the current Move of God are doing what Juan Carlos Ortiz prophesied . In the last 40 years we are moving the church kicking and screaming from the secondlevel ,the Pentecostal then charismatic church of the last 100 years , back into Acts .And two of the key indicators are
Addressing 1 Corinthians 12 : 14-26 head on , so we have the knowledge of the Book Surrounded by Idiots , except now in a Body of Christ and Tabernacles 4 Woods context ....
Addressing the Jerusalem Gate 10 of Nehemiah called Miphkad . Which means when we go out on fishing trips we nolonger try to be the lone Marvel Comic Super guy bringing in the biggest nets ....but we are prepared for that Samaritan , MKUltra dynasty family witch who like John 4 , we are asking to draw water for us .
Gate of Miphkad means relearning church completely without a king .
Because we have a Melchizedek king priest called Jesus .
In the third level we don't do rabbi synagogues any more . We do 1 John 1 Church .
We are a Gate , a Core of loving elders who have crossed the 1 Corinthians 12 : 14 -26 dysfunction barrier into Body homeostasis .
Do you know our body has about 24 parallel systems listed by Martin Felt in his 1990 book the Felt Formula .
This was written before the great upsurge in knowledge about prebiotics and probiotics and the gut biome wasn't even a phrase .
Thirdlevel Church is arriving on Platform 9 3/4 in your very city and town .
I hope Bill Johnson likes it . I hope Stan Warren and all the other Warrens that are left down Thorney Road like it . I hope Bridge Church and Elim Church and the Catholic Alpha Course priest Hayling Island like it .
But when God inspired Joel to write His " In the last days I will pour out My Spirit " prophecies
And
Ephesians 4 ,St Paul on the Mature Man
And
The latter house shall be greater than the former House , Jesus wasn't asking people's permission .
When , in 2014 , God put it in me to pray for these Samaritan women ....and Men ....like Ronald Bernhard .....to emerge from ' the System' , the Illuminati .....Jesus didn't ask my permission or anybody else's permission . He didn't ask Bill Johnson's permission or the permission of Robin D Bullock , Charlie Shamp or Elijah List.
He just said " This is what I'm going to do , pray ".
He said in Isaiah " I will give you the treasures of Darkness ".
At the moment , because these guys were raised in Mengele's Supersoldier Programme , during the period he was Dr Green in Paraguay , and during the Boys of Brazil period .....so many of these guys are clairvoyants and astral projection people , and remote viewers ......I have no idea how the Holy Spirit turns that around .....all I know is that Jesus is baptising with the Spirit and with fire like He did me and Morris Cerullo and David Hathaway at around 13 and 14.....so Jesus can do this stuff .
He doesn't ask our permission .
If you want another look at what Jesus Kingship means , checkout Psalm 2,because Bill Johnson and Stan Warren seem to think it's about bigger recording studios for earbuds .

The Holy Spirit and Power by Janet Denton
DEAR PASTORS AND LEADERS,
IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE LATEST CHRISTIAN LINGO ARE THE FOLLOWING; AUTHENTIC, REAL, UNITY, COMMUNITY, RELATIONSHIP, PASSIONATE ABOUT PEOPLE, GENUINE FAITH, PURPOSEFUL RELATIONSHIPS, PRACTICAL EVANGELISM, EXPERIENCE GOD, AND DISCOVER FAITH TO NAME A FEW.
THESE ARE ALL WELL AND GOOD, SOUND BECAUSE THEY (CHURCHES) SAY THEY WANT TO BE LIKE THE FIRST CHURCHES IN THE BOOK OF ACTS THAN WE MUST GO TO THE FIRST CHAPTER OF THE BOOK OF ACTS AND START WHERE THEY STARTED,...."BUT YE SHALL RECEIVE POWER, AFTER THAT THE HOLY GHOST IS COME UPON YOU: AND YE SHALL BE WITNESSES UNTO ME BOTH IN JERUSALEM, AND IN ALL JUDEA, AND IN SAMARIA, AND UNTO THE UTTERMOST PART OF THE EARTH."
ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT JESUS SAID TO THE APOSTLES IS TO WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE HOLY SPIRIT AND POWER!
PRAYER CAME NEXT "WITH ONE ACCORD AND SUPPLICATION" WHAT WAS THE "ONE ACCORD" THEY WERE IN? THE POWER THAT JESUS SPOKE OF AND SUPPLICATION FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT TO COME. THE HOLY SPIRIT WOULD COME UPON THEM AND ENABLE THEM TO DO THE IMPOSSIBLE.
BUT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ONE CHURCH OR FELLOWSHIP THAT I HAVE BEEN TO THAT HAS EVEN MENTIONED THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT LET ALONE THE ABILITY TO BE WITNESSES BOTH HERE AND FAR, WHY?
THE EYES ARE NOT ON JESUS, THE SEEKING OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, HIS PRESENCE AND THE POWER AND DEMONSTRATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH THE EVIDENCE OF SPEAKING IN TONGUES!
INSTEAD IT IS UPON THE "FEEL GOOD," "I UNDERSTAND YOU PAIN" ATTITUDE (WELL MEANING) VICTIMS COMING TOGETHER TO BOND TOGETHER SO TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE IT THROUGH.
Janet Denton
THIS LATEST CHRISTIAN LINGO SOUNDS GOOD BUT WHERE IS THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT TO HEAL, SET FREE AND LEARN TO LIVE FROM HEAVEN TO EARTH?
ALL THE "REAL," "AUTHENTIC," RELATIONSHIP BUILDING IS SOUNDS SWEET AND WELL MEANING BUT IT IS NOT GOING TO GET ANYONE HEALED, SET FREE AND CATAPULTED INTO THEIR "NEW NATURE" IN CHRIST. I PROMISE YOU, I HAVE SEEN THIS HAPPEN IN CHURCHES FROM THE NORTHWEST ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE TO LAS VEGAS, IT LOOKS GOOD, THE P&W IS LOUD, THE HUMOROUS STORIES GET A GIGGLE, THEY TAKE 10-15 MINUTES JUST TO CONVINCE THE FOLKS WHY THEY SHOULD GIVE, IT IS USUALLY CASUAL AND COMFORTABLE BUT WHERE IS THE "FIRE" OF THE HOLY GHOST?!
YES, MEETING IN SMALLER GROUPS IS GOING TO MORE PEOPLE TO BECOME MORE FAMILIAR WITH EACH OTHER, BUT WHERE IS THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT? "BORING!"
INTERESTING TO NOTE THAT AS SOON AS THEY WERE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT THEY BEGAN SPEAKING IN OTHER TONGUES (LANGUAGES) SO ALL COULD UNDERSTAND "THE WONDERFUL WORKS OF GOD."
YOU SEE IT WAS NOT ABOUT "RELATIONSHIP BUILDING" OR BEING "REAL," "AUTHENTIC," "GENUINE," "PURPOSEFUL," OR "EXPERIENCE" BUT IT WAS ABOUT "P R O C L A I M I N G !" THE WORKS OF GOD/JESUS THAT HAS SET US FREE FROM SIN, SICKNESS, DISEASE AND POVERTY WITH SIGNS AND WONDERS FOLLOWING.
SHORTLY THERE AFTER IT WAS COMMANDED TO THEM TO "REPENT" (CHANGE YOUR WAY OF THINKING AND BEING, SEPARATE YOURSELVES TO GOD), AND BE BAPTIZED EVERYONE OF YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS, AND YE SHALL RECEIVE THE GIFT OF THE HOLY GHOST." 3,000 WERE ADDED TO THEIR NUMBERS IN ONE DAY! NO WONDER THE FIRST CHURCH GREW SO FAST, IT WAS ALIVE WITH POWER AND DEMONSTRATION, IT WAS FULL OF FIRE AND THE PRESENCE OF GOD!
DOES YOUR HEART ACHE FOR THIS TOO? MINE DOES AND NO SWEET, WELL INTENTIONED MEETINGS AND HOUSE GATHERINGS BENT ON RELATIONSHIPS IS GOING TO START THAT "FIRE" THAT THE WORLD NEEDS TODAY.
SEPARATE YOURSELVES UNTO GOD, SEEK THE HOLY SPIRIT UNTIL YOU ARE BURNING WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT TO SET THE WORLD ON FIRE FOR JESUS!

Coming Out of Darkness Part 17 - Gary Sigler
Facebook on Wednesday, 06 April 2011 at 16:03.
God’s Plan
God is El Elyon,(Most High) and He has a plan and a purpose. He placed His Seed not just in you and me. God has placed His Seed in all of humanity. The Gospel of John says that Jesus was the
true light that lights every man that comes into the world (John 1:9). Is this
true or false? Proverbs tells us that the spirit of man is the candle, or lamp,
of the Lord (Prov. 20:27).
Every person has within their being the Seed of
God, and that Seed needs the Divine Sperm to quicken it and regenerate it.
God calls out the Church, reveals Himself to the Church, and then begins to
impart unto the Church His essence, His nature and His character, so that they
in turn can go to the world and bring reconciliation to all of creation.
God has been with us in the wilderness. When we suffer, God suffers. Why? Because, more than you ever realize, God and man truly are one. In the very core, in the very center of your being, lies the Seed of God. And when you are regenerated, that Seed of God is what brings to you the feeling, the emotion, the regeneration of God.
Every person that was ever born is special, but you are not any more special
because you know God than the man who doesn’t. Didn’t Jesus say,
"No man can come unto Me except the Father draw him"
(John 6:44)? Then
how can you take credit? How can you say that the reason you know God is that
you have done certain things, or you haven’t done certain things?
When God
chooses you out of all the people in the world, and for His own plan and
purpose generates His Divine Seed within you, all of a sudden you become aware,
you become conscious of God. Why? It is His plan and His purpose to restore
the creation back to Himself.
Romans 8:21 says that
there will come a day when all of creation shall be loosed from the bondage of
corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. Is that true or
not? If you are typical in your Christian thinking, it is not yet true for you.
But who does "all of creation" include? Those who have run to an
altar? Those who have said some words? Sometimes we think it’s a magical
phrase: "Jesus, I receive You." Will there really come a day in the
history of the world when all of creation shall be loosed from the bondage of
corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God? Oh, I can’t wait
for the revelation to come to the Church! We have such a message! We have the
hidden mysteries of the Gospel yet to be revealed.
Our country is in such a
mess, yet even as Christians, we say, "Well, if we could just get rid of
that Obama. If we could just get rid of the whole political system and start
over." But let me tell you that we, you and I, are responsible for what is
happening in Washington today. It’s not Obama’s fault. It’s not the Democratic
Party’s fault. It’s not the Republicans’ fault. The people of God have lost the
revelation of the Father-heart of God, and
we have not become the salt of
the earth. What is the salt of the earth? If I am the salt of the earth, I
am the flavor, and if I am truly salted with His essence, I am absolutely free
to do anything! But in the doing of whatever I do, I am salt, and from
the very essence of my being, something will permeate, and people will be
affected. If you have the essence of God, you don’t have to preach the Gospel,
in the sense of the "religious" Gospel.
I worked at NASA for six
years, and for at least half of that time, I didn’t try to preach the Gospel at
all. But I tried to be the best worker, the best friend. That is a gift that
God has given me, I just love people. But after three years, I mentioned to a
man who worked with me, "John, have you ever been aware of God in your
life?" and this big bruiser of a guy almost hit me. He said, "Don’t
you ever mention that name in my presence again." Because, he said,
"I’ll tell you one thing, Gary. If there is such a thing as a God, I can’t
wait to see Him, and I’ll tell Him, ‘You SOB,’ for the mess that He made this
creation to be." But I want you to know that when I left NASA, this man
had tears in his eyes, and he said, "Gary, all of my life I’ve heard about
the love of God, about, you know, all preaching and this and that," and he
said, "You’re the first person I’ve ever met whom I could say actually has
the love of God and walks in what they say they believe."
You don’t have to preach the Gospel. And if you are around me, you find out that I’m just a joker. I have a lot of fun. Yet I know that deposited within my being, there is such a precious, precious anointing of His love for humanity. Again, does that make me special? NO! No, it doesn’t. As I said, for 13½ years I did everything; I never prayed less than an hour a day. I never read less than ten or twenty chapters of Scripture a day. Yet for 13½ years I was a failure.
Not totally, for I did make some progression, but I wasn’t free. But when I realized that holiness is wherever God is, then God began to speak in small ways and reveal to me, "You’ve been saying for years that Jesus lives in you—don’t you think it’s about time that you became aware of it?" And today, I’m aware of it, but not nearly enough, because when we have the heart of the Father unveiled to us, we will be world-changers.
God is not a bigot. I was taught as a young Christian, "If a Jehovah’s Witness comes to your
door, slam it in his face, because those people really believe what they say, and you will become so deceived." That’s the kind of love that I was taught. And the Mormons? "Oh my God, don’t even get close to those guys!
Some of the things they teach are demonic!" We have no concept of the
Father-heart of God. We don’t really have an experience of what we say we
believe, or we would not be in fear of a Jehovah’s Witness, we would not be in
fear of a Mormon, we wouldn’t teach our kids not to play with the
"JW’s".
If we had the essence of God and we were the salt of the earth, what would we fear? Because we would salt the earth. You really are the salt of the earth. But the Lord said,
"If the salt has lost its flavor . . ."
(Mt. 5:13), and for the most part that is what happened. In 2,000 years, we lost the flavor. The Church isn’t really able to salt that much anymore. What did the Lord say?"It’s good for nothing. It needs to be cast out." Some people will tell you that means that if you lose your salt, you lose your flavor;you’ve lost your salvation and you will go to hell and burn forever. Let me tell you what it really means.
When you lose your saltiness, the fire of God
begins to bring purification. It’s not a negative experience! El Elyon knows just exactly what you need to cause you to bow the knee, just as He knew what it would take to turn Jonah, who was running away from Him.
You are free to do anything you want to do, you are free to turn your back on God. But I have news for you. Try it! Sure, you can make the choice. You are free. But you really don’t have a free will.
Your will is either captivated by the enemy through the fall, or you have given yourself to God. I used to drive out into the desert every morning in California, and I would say, "God, I give you
permission to do whatever it takes. I say to the principalities and powers in heavenly places, I give God permission to do anything He wants to do in my life." I lost my free will. If I ever had it, I lost it then. God became El Elyon to me, whether I liked it, or whether I didn’t. And there have been many times when I didn’t like it. The fire gets hot.
But although we look at these experiences as negative, we have to understand the Father-heart of God. You will be judged, but it won’t be a religious judgment. God is not that big, ugly being up there full of vengeful wrath. I know that the Bible talks about the wrath of God, and I know that the day of His wrath is coming, but the concept of "sinners in the hands of an angry God" is really not the right concept of your Father God. God as your Father will put you through the fire.
What happens to gold if you throw it in the fire? It is purified. Gold, silver and
precious stones. What is in you? The gold. Do you have the Divine Life and
Nature of God, or do you not? If we can say, as the Apostle Peter taught us,
that we have the Divine Life of God in us, then we have the gold, but we will
have to be purified by the fire.
I hope you can hear what I am saying and go a little bit further with it. God has no pleasure in the death of the wicked (Ezek. 33:11). John said that Jesus would baptize with the
Holy Ghost and with fire (Mt. 3:11). Well, we have taken the Holy Ghost and Pentecost,
but we left off the fire, because the fire isn’t the fun part. But we need the fire, because when we have the heart of the Father unveiled to us, we will be world-changers.
At one time I had a nature that loved all of the wrong things. On the inside of me, I had a desire for God,but my natural character and makeup was much stronger than my desire for God.
So, everywhere I went, ministers would say, "I can’t help you. You have to make a choice. You have to decide, are you going to obey God or obey your flesh?" Well, what am I going to do if my flesh is stronger? I tried obeying God, but it didn’t work. So God put me in the fire.
All of us will go through the fire. Your natural, human character and personality—all of those
human traits that you have inherited from your father Adam, all of the disobedience, all of the erring of your ways, everything in your being that is antichrist (and the Church is full of antichrist today) must be burned. El Elyon will put you in the fire until you come up out of it a pillar of smoke, and this is not just for you alone.
Prayer: Burn Within Us
Father, by the power of Your Holy Spirit, by the very essence of your being, I ask You to burn upon the altars of our hearts. I ask you to send forth that holy fire that would consume every area, every avenue of my thought and my being.
God’s Plan
God is El Elyon,(Most High) and He has a plan and a purpose. He placed His Seed not just in you and me. God has placed His Seed in all of humanity. The Gospel of John says that Jesus was the
true light that lights every man that comes into the world (John 1:9). Is this
true or false? Proverbs tells us that the spirit of man is the candle, or lamp,

God calls out the Church, reveals Himself to the Church, and then begins to
impart unto the Church His essence, His nature and His character, so that they
in turn can go to the world and bring reconciliation to all of creation.
God has been with us in the wilderness. When we suffer, God suffers. Why? Because, more than you ever realize, God and man truly are one. In the very core, in the very center of your being, lies the Seed of God. And when you are regenerated, that Seed of God is what brings to you the feeling, the emotion, the regeneration of God.

El Elyon will put you in the fire until you come up out of it a pillar of smoke, and this is not just for you alone.
You are only fortunate in this sense of the word: that God is calling you now. God has called us out now to begin to purify us so that we can take the message of reconciliation to the world.
I had a prophecy given to me a few years ago, and when this prophecy was given to me, God spoke right behind it and said, "This word was not for you, this word was for the Church." It was for me, but not just for me. You know what I mean. And the word was this:
"There is going to be a day when people
will look into your eyes and immediately be ushered into the presence of God,
be regenerated, and be filled with the Spirit of God." When that
happens, you’ll know for a surety that we have come up out of the wilderness.
We need to be the offering that is consumed upon the altar by the fire of God, and it hurts. But
you know what was said of Jesus (and you would have this same attitude if you
understood the heart of God), it said that for the joy that was set before Him,
He endured the cross.

happens, you’ll know for a surety that we have come up out of the wilderness.
We need to be the offering that is consumed upon the altar by the fire of God, and it hurts. But
you know what was said of Jesus (and you would have this same attitude if you
understood the heart of God), it said that for the joy that was set before Him,
He endured the cross.
Andi f you have the plan of God for your life revealed to you, then for the joy that is set before you, you also will endure the fire!
There is not much talk in the Church today about suffering, but if you will be godly, you will
suffer! And it won’t be by people persecuting you (although that could be a part of it); you are going to suffer in the very essence of your being, because everything in you that you thought was godly is going to be stripped away.
And if you haven’t had this experience yet, there will come a day when God will rip that flesh away from you and let you look at it and see it as it is, and you will realize that, if not for the grace of God, you could be a murderer,you could be a rapist, you have all of the tendencies that any man ever has had in your flesh and you are capable of the most vile acts, were it not for the grace of God."And He will baptize you with the Holy Ghost and with fire"
(Mt. 3:11).

Prayer: Burn Within Us
Father, by the power of Your Holy Spirit, by the very essence of your being, I ask You to burn upon the altars of our hearts. I ask you to send forth that holy fire that would consume every area, every avenue of my thought and my being.
O God, I ask that you would burn, and burn, and burn within my being, and that You would cause the essence of Your being, the Seed of Your Life, that is within me to rise and to stand. O Father, may that Seed of Your Life come forth within Your people!
Lord, we, as the collective Body of Christ, stand undivided. We say,
"Come, O Holy One, come, fire of God, come and burn within our
being."
Lord, we, as the collective Body of Christ, stand undivided. We say,
"Come, O Holy One, come, fire of God, come and burn within our
being."
Father, only You can burn out the rebellion. Only You can burn out the disobedience. It is only by the purifying fire of Your Holy Ghost that we can live and not die. Oh God, bring the fire. El Elyon, reveal to us your Father-heart.
