When Angels Manifest in the Form of Wind




One of the times I've encountered angels was in the form of wind—and was probably the most intense experience I've had.
My husband, Robert John, and I were just engaged and decided to tithe together jointly for the first time. Though we weren't married, we decided to make our first tithe, our first gift, together. We were at his mom's house on the computer when we gave to a ministry online. As soon as we clicked "Donate Now" on the ministry's website it was as if all these high-powered fans started blowing in the room. It was a really intense encounter with the wind of heaven!
As the winds ripped through the room, we instantly felt filled and refreshed with the Holy Spirit and God's joy. There was an intense sense of God's pleasure with our unity, our unity in giving and our unity in giving to the kingdom. Because God loves it all—He loves our unity, He loves giving and He definitely loved what the ministry that we gave to was doing. He loved where our first tithe was going.
But there was also a sense that something was activated by that act of giving. We know from the Word that angels are dispatched on assignment. There was a connection to this action we had just taken as a couple, and now the angels were going to carry out the assignment on our behalf.
Shortly after this experience, I went to speak at a conference, and it was just nine days before we were to get married. For us, even our wedding was a step of faith. We were going to be newlyweds, and we were paying for the entire wedding ourselves. We were simply trusting God to cover the bills.
At this conference, completely unprompted, one of the other speakers got up and announced that I was getting married in nine days. It was just a fun moment. But afterward a couple who had traveled there all the way from Ireland came up to me and said, "Faytene, while that minister was sharing about you getting married, we really felt like we wanted to sow into the beginning of this new phase in life for you and your husband. If we want to make out a check, who would we make it out to?"
I was humbled and had no idea what they were going to do, but I gave them my bank information. They ended up wiring $10,000 into our new beginning!
It was the blessing of our Father, who wanted to bless us at the beginning of our new phase. Looking back, I believe there was something dispatched in the spirit realm through that joint act of giving, that first tithe we made as a couple.
For me, the manifestation of the wind is a confirmation of that. It was a fruit of the Father's goodness being poured out on us. We were able not only to get married, but also to get married with our entire wedding completely paid for. I believe the angels were involved in administrating that blessing!

Sharing Love From Sweden - HEART FOR THE POOR - Eva Haglund


HEART FOR THE POOR
Eva Haglund

Today there are many people who are poor. There are many who do not have food. Some do not care about the poor and we can find egoism and lack of love. Some look down at the poor. This happens also in some churches.

This is not what God wants. Jesus identifies with the poor. He came as newborn baby unto a stable.  He did not come to a castle or a palace but to a simple stable. He did not just think about Himself. He was a giver and He gave everything, including His life for us at the cross because of His love for us. Jesus has love and compassion.

Jesus took the two bread and the seven fish as the boy gave Him and blessed them. It multiplied and it was a help for many. People were listening to His teaching and then they needed to eat.  We can see here that Jesus also thought about the poor.

He taught a parable in Luke 10 that a man was robbed and was wounded and did not have money, but the Samaritan by showing compassion in his big trouble. Jesus wants us to show compassion and help people. In Philippians 4:10 -14 we read when Paul had lack and Christians helped him. We also read in Acts 3:6 "Silver and gold I do not have but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." He did not have any money here either.

In James 2:1 is written "My brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ , the Lord of glory with partiality. For if there should come into your assembly a man with gold rings, in fine apparel and there should also come in a man in filthy clothes, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say to him, "You sit here in a good place" and say to the poor man, "You stand here or sit at my footstool," have you not shown partiality among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?"

Sometimes people who are begging and other people who are poor are looked down at. The value of a human being is not in the clothes. Jesus did not look down at the poor. He said in Matt 25:40, "Assuredly I say unto you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren you did it to Me." Here we see that He cares about the poor,too.

Sometimes among Christians there is little care about the poor . Some are not interested in helping them. There can be people sometimes who hardly have any food and people do not think it is important to help. There are other Christians who have a warm heart and have a heart of caring for the poor. In Acts we can see how they cared about each other when some did not have food. We read in Acts 2:44, "Now all who believed were together and had all things in common and sold their possessions and goods and divided them among all as anyone had need." 

I do not think we all need to sell our possessions and divide them but I think that you can understand the heart they had for each other. When anyone was in a need, lacking food, they helped each other. When Christians live closer to each with more fellowship and friendship, it is easier to see if anybody is poor. We read in Acts 2:46 that they had fellowship in houses and shared the bread. It needs to be restored more of this fellowship among Christians. The Bible also teach us to show hospitality. In 1 Peter 4:9 "Be hospitable to each other without grumbling."

To care about the poor we read James 2:15 where it is written, "If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food and one says them "Depart in peace, be warmed and filled, but you not give them the things which are needed for the body what does it profit?" Our faith ought to be shown in works. Love is to show practical care and love is greatest.

When Jesus was with His disciples near the sea in John 21 He made bread and gave to His friends. He gave them fish as He had prepared and fixed a warm fire when they came from the sea. It could be cold and He talked with them. He showed care and love and shared His bread with others.

Sometimes today there are Christian conferences which cost money but the poor cannot come because they cannot afford it. I think that these conferences ought to be for all, also for the poor. Church is also meant for the poor - not just for them who have enough money. If the poor are welcome to conferences it is also a testimony to relatives around. 

This is agape love and is a testimony to the world. The Gospel is also for the poor and church ought to be a welcoming church for the poor.

I  think about Jesus who had to stay in a stable and was not welcome into a house. There are also prophets who are left out from meetings because they are poor. The heavenly Daddy has a heart of love and compassion and we see in the parable of the lost son His heart of caring and He rushed towards the son. He cares for all people and He cares about the poor.

We read in Matt:14:14, "And when Jesus went out He saw a  great great multitude and He was moved with compassion for them. "He took the five loaves and the two fish as He got from the boy and blessed them, broke the bread and gave them and the fish to the disciples to give it to people. I think He also thought of the poor among the people here. He had a heart for them and cared about them.

There are people who are poor around us and we cannot help all but we can help some if we have anything to give who we meet in our way. We need to share our bread and in Isaiah 58:6 - 8 we read, "Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every joke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out, when you see the naked that you cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then you light shall break forth like the morning. Your healing shall spring forth speedily. And your righteousness shall go before you and. The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard."

God also gives back when we help the poor. We can bless also Jews who are poor. Sometimes there also poor Jews in Body of Christ - Messianic Jews. Anyone who blesses Israel God will bless. We read in Genesis 12:3 it is good to bless Israel and the Jewish people.

We need to share our bread and Jesus shared His bread. Jesus also showed the greatest love to us at Calvary.  

In  John 3:16 is written "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life."

Yeshua/Jesus gave His Bread. He gave His life for us because of His love.

"I am Readying You" says your Father, "To Rule and Reign with Me"

by Karla Shrake, May 30, 2013


"For surely these are the days My prophets have spoken about, days of challenge, transition and increasing turbulence. But as you will shortly see these are also days of great opportunity for the good news of My gospel to go forth as never before in history. Multitudes upon multitudes will be coming into My Kingdom very shortly, indeed it has even begun," discloses your Father.

I hear the Lord saying He is 'readying' us for the days in which we live, and for the days to come.

- to be prepared mentally or physically, prepared for immediate use
-to be fit, set, conditioned, primed, ripe, braced, fortified, steeled, qualified, trained, and seasoned

That is quite a list! We say yes Lord, we thank you for readying us and establishing us in all these ways!

"Keep the airwaves full of My glory," invites your triumphant Lion-Deliverer. "Your worshipping Me in spirit and in truth is your greatest tool of preparation, for it lifts you above the smog and releases and imprints My DNA more deeply into you, the DNA of resurrection life and overcoming grace. As you abide more and more in worship and in My Word be assured I am readying and strengthening you. 

As you live lifestyles of loving and helping one another and reaching out to the lost, understand that I am fortifying you as only I can do. As you flow in these things you are creating a highway in the wilderness, a highway of holiness that is preparing the way for My soon return," explains your Lamb-Bridegroom.

"My dear children I am calling you to stand before Me in a state of alertness, for I have much to disclose in this prophetic season, many winning plays and strategies I have to share with you. Stay in a state of focus, keen and sharp focus, keeping your ears and hearts attuned to Me first and foremost. I have much to reveal to you," repeats your Father, "of things that will soon take place for surely I am releasing instructions and guidance for this season to those who are seeking Me. I am preparing and training you to rule and reign with Me."

"Know that the sound of My voice is being turned up more and more so that it can be heard above the noise of the distractions and disturbances of the enemy. Even the whispers that come from My throne room are being heard more and more clearly by those who have their hearts toward Me as their Father-Instructor. 

The sound of My voice will be heard in the land in a new way and it will echo deeper and deeper into the hearts of man in this late hour. For even in My people there is much change and renovation that I am initiating. I am securing you into a more solid foundation of My truth, purpose and plan that you might rule with Me more effectively. For I am needing many last-day Noahs to build in preparation for what is to come........" 

 Part II to be continued in the next newsletter.


Dear Friends,

It is so good to know our Father is busy preparing and readying us. There is much passivity and complacency in our land and even in the Body of Christ. Truly we must rely solely on Him and keep our focus ever-toward Him as our one source of life, strength and direction.

Ultimately only He can ready us for the times in which we live, but it is our part to stay very close to Him and listen and obey His instructions. We know from the Bible that the last days are full of challenge and many faith-adventures, but it is so comforting to know that He already triumphed over all things. We have been given a 'winning script' and as we step into it and walk it out in obedience and faith, we will receive the crown of the overcomer.

"Heavenly Father we as the Davidic Warrior prayer family thank you for readying us for our destinies that we may remain steadfastly faithful to You and your plan for our lives. We honor Your voice of instruction and preparation as we set our hearts and our gaze upon You, the One we love, Amen."

Love and blessings to you,

Karla
