Paul Wilbur: Celebrating a Life of Worship - ROSH HASHANAH Celebration
Paul Wilbur: Celebrating a Life of Worship
CBN.com –MUSIC CAREER
In the mid-seventies Paul was a young college student studying to be an opera singer and cantor. In Judaism, a cantor leads liturgical prayer and chanting during the service. While he was pursuing his Master’s degree, Paul recalls when he would ask a girl out for a date they would invite him to go to church. During one of those church dates Paul met a man named Jerry Williams. Jerry’s passion for the Lord as he sang drew Paul back to church week after week. Soon, Paul joined a Bible study in his graduate dorm eager to know more about the God of the Bible. A few weeks later on a fishing trip with Jerry, Paul became a Christian and his life took him in a radically new direction.

During one of those church dates Paul met a man named Jerry Williams. Jerry’s passion for the Lord as he sang drew Paul back to church week after week. Soon, Paul joined a Bible study in his graduate dorm eager to know more about the God of the Bible. A few weeks later on a fishing trip with Jerry, Paul became a Christian and his life took him in a radically new direction.
He started Harvest, an early Jesus Movement band, and then formed Israel’s Hope, dedicated to bringing the message of the gospel back to the Jewish people. In 1994, Paul finished his fourth year at Midwest Christian Center in Tinley Park, Illinois when the Lord spoke to him very clearly and said, “Ask of me and I will give you the nations.” After much prayer and fasting, Paul and his wife left their local ministry to answer the call of God to the nations. They sold their home, cars, furniture and Baldwin piano. Then they received a call from Don Moen of Integrity Music. Don wanted Paul to record a new project in the land of Israel. The breakout recording, “Shalom Jerusalem”was recorded live in 1995. Then Don asked Paul to do a two week tour with him in the Philippines. That was the beginning of Paul’s international, cross-cultural, multi lingual ministry that continues to this day.
“The heart of worship is communication from our hearts to God. You can’t expect people to reach out to God in a language they can’t understand. Our goal quickly became to carry the music, message and ministry of the Kingdom to the nations in their own language,” shares Paul. Some of his other releases such as 2005’s “The Watchman,” 2008’s “Paul Wilbur Live” and 2010’s acclaimed “Desert Rain,” were often recorded in a variety of languages. Paul uses the universal language of music to proclaim God’s love for His people. He says, “Singing songs in different language can be challenging at times, but when you are passionate about something it makes the work light.” To date, Paul and his team have recorded twenty projects with Integrity in four different languages (English, Spanish, German and Portuguese). He says, “I am humbled that the Lord trusts me with these opportunities.”
ULTIMATE COLLECTION
Integrity Music recently released Paul’s latest cd, “Ultimate Collection” which consists of some of his most popular worship songs. One of the songs on the CD is called “Adonai.” The song came out originally in 2006 and was nominated as one of the worship songs of the year and continues to be a favorite with his audiences. In Hebrew, “Adonai” means “you own it all.” The song is a declaration that Jesus is Lord of all of you. Paul chose the song for this CD because it was important for the Christian community to make a statement that, “Jesus is Lord.”

ROSH HASHANAH
Paul first led worship for Rosh Hashanah at CBN in 2008. He says it has been a “great honor” to lead worship for this celebration. Paul appreciates the way Pat affirms this celebration for messianic believers each year with such honor. Year after year, worship has been the focal point of this event. “Pat’s vision for this celebration has impacted millions around the world,” shares Paul.
Once again, Paul and his band will be performing at CBN’s Rosh Hashanah event, Wednesday, Sept 24, 2014. This will be streamed live at 7:00 – 8:30 pm ET on www.cbn.com.

"Rosh Hashanah 2014: Year of Secrets Revealed" Johnny Enlow
Johnny Enlow, Santa Clarita, CA
The Elijah List
Descending Angels with Scrolls
September 24 is Rosh Hashanah and the beginning of the "Year of Secrets Revealed". Some time ago, I was shown that a great angel who would be released to God's people this Rosh Hashanah, and he is coming accompanied by a great host of descending angels. The vision I saw looks almost like a solar flare being released from Heaven. This angel being released is an angel entrusted with revealing God's secrets, unravelling mysteries, and solving riddles. He is a great angel of wisdom, and I saw in a vision he and his angels coming down with many scrolls to hand out to trusted ones all over the globe.
Proverbs 9:1 says: "Wisdom has built her house, She has hewn out her seven pillars." The Lord is releasing the wisdom for building His house on the seven mountains of society and He is sending His very trusted angel with building plans. Scrolls with wisdom for building and advancing, will be released this year in an unprecedented fashion. Many have now been catapulted into the new territory they are called to occupy, and now comes the wisdom for how to occupy the land that was so intensely gained.
It is the Father's great joy to send in His mighty angels to join in the fun and adventure of advancing His Kingdom through His awake and arising Church.
There will be scrolls with secrets and wisdom for building and advancing churches, Kingdom centers, ministries, Kingdom businesses, and technologies and medical breakthroughs.
Many in business are only one insight away from advancing their technology to critical mass and angels will deliver scrolls that carry the insight or secret on how to move forward. Whatever Kingdom venture is in need for wisdom, this Hebraic year, 5775, the wisdom for that will become available. If last year was the year of the door into your new territory, this year is the year of the window into how to structure and advance in that new territory.
Architects with Blueprints
In this vision of descending angels, I see that they are arriving as architects with blueprints. Most of our plans of the last few years have not worked so well because they have lacked Heavenly wisdom. Heaven's architects are now being sent and they have thousands and thousands of missions. They will dole out scrolls to all who are humble enough to acknowledge they need this help, and are okay with Father sending some of His angelic friends to provide these scrolls.

The Holy Spirit can provide all wisdom and reveal all secrets, but He and the Father also love including angels in the process.
The scrolls will be put into your dreams and day dreams. They will show up in night visions and day visions. They will at times be sent to you through a prophetic word. Many will have actual dreams of receiving a scroll. The more time spent in worship the more you can clear out the clutter from your own preconceived ideas or plans. The new coming wisdom will be much better than our old half-baked plans, and so we want to resist the temptation to run with the half-baked plans just because we invested so much in them.
The secrets from above are going to be game-changers and so they must be valued as such. I looked up the word "architect" and as a verb it means "to plan, organize and bring to fruition". If that sounds like something you need, this will be a great year for you should you keep your eyes on the Lord. Though the term has been misapplied elsewhere, He really is the Master Architect. An architect is defined as "one who designs and supervises the construction of buildings or other large structures".
Our Master Architect is now sending the wisdom for "large Kingdom structures" to be built. A great harvest has already started and it will be soon noted and documented. As it gains steam it will put great demand on Kingdom minded Believers to have infrastructure in place that accommodates the harvest.
From resources to buildings much is needed. Great blueprints are coming down for everything related to the harvest and related to the reformation of society.
It will be a rare thing for a non-reformation minded Believer to receive one of these scrolls, as that is a common theme for all who will have secrets revealed, mysteries unraveled and riddles solved. God is now ready for things to go structural into society. The era of Renaissance has begun that will expand nuanced knowledge of God into every system of society. These scrolls ultimately are secrets of God that reveal more of who He is and this new knowledge will advance Him.
5775: Grace for an Expanded View of Him
We are in the middle of a ten-year period where the focus is on us "learning to see". The Lord is correcting our vision impairment, and this year it is as if we get the upgrade glasses that we have needed. For the next 5 years there will be a yearly upgrade available much like Apple does with the iPhone. However, we do have to turn in the old and request the upgrade. (Photo via flickr)
All corrective spiritual vision begins with the ability to see Him in an expanded way. If we can't see Him better, we won't be able to see other things in an improved way. Many of us carry very defeated narratives of what God can do in society because of our impaired vision of Him. This year we get a much need upgrade, and make sure to make your request known to the Holy Spirit.
The number 5775 is a unique configuration. 5 is the number of grace and 7 is the number of God in His perfect and expanded form. It is the 7 Spirits perspective of God and all He has and all He will be for society (Revelation 4:5 and 5:6). This is a year where God provides grace for us coming and going. He will be our rear guard as well as He who graces us to move forward. The 77 is about seeing the perfect God as Redeemer AND as Reformer. The special grace is available for those able to see Him as both. This grace is designed to keep you in a hopeful place, but you must refrain your mouth from hopeless conversation.
I also saw the numbers 5775 laid out over a map of the United States. The land of the United States was set up by God as a refuge for past Jews, as well as present and future Jews. It also explains why we have a primary assignment to ensure Israel's security and that when we mess with that, we ourselves become insecure. The ISIS crisis came up on the radar for us as a nation at the specific time we were chiding Israel for defending herself from terrorist rockets. It is a main part of our call as a nation to provide security for Israel. Most of that is by prayer but it is also to be military.
As I saw the 5775 laid out over a map of the United States, I saw that the 5's were over each coast of America. One over the East Coast and one over the West Coast. This represented increase protective grace over our coasts, but especially it represents a grace of a move of the Holy Spirit.
I believe from one sea to the other shining sea we will begin to hear about God breaking out. A great grace is coming to our coast lands.
Many have been seeing tsunamis come to our shores but they will be of glory and not of devastation. God is not unhappy with America as a country, only slightly annoyed with the gloom He sees in His Church.
A key chapter for the year is Psalm 75. Psalm 75 is the response chapter to Psalm 74, even as 5775 will be the response year to 5774. Psalm 74 was a chapter of pleading for help from the oppression and attack of the enemy. The chapter starts out with, "O God why have you cast us off forever?" and stays in that vein throughout. There are many verses that could bring understanding to the desecration and martyrdom many Christians experienced this last year at the hands of ISIS and other extremists. "The enemy has damaged everything in the sanctuary. Your enemies roar in the midst of Your meeting place. They set up their banners for signs"(Psalm 74:3-4)
"They have set fire to Your sanctuary, they have defiled the dwelling place of Your name to the ground. They said in their hearts, let us destroy them altogether. They have burned up all the meeting places of God in the land" (Psalm 74 7-8). The chapter closes with the psalmist invoking God to, "Arise, O God for Your own cause" (verse 22).
Chapter 75 then carries the response theme of the psalmist thanking God for His righteous judgment. "We give thanks to You, O God, we give thanks! For Your wondrous works declare that Your name is near" (verse 1). The Chapter ends with, "All the horns of the wicked I will also cut off, but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted" (verse 10). In the very middle of the chapter it says, "But God is the Judge; He puts down one, and exalts another" (verse 7). This we will see manifested this year among the nations. Evil men will plot, but God will show Himself as Judge. The horns or power of the wicked will be cut down. It will be another bad year for the wicked.
Focus on the Mountain of Education
The Mountain of Education will be the mountain of great focus this year. The enemy illicitly exercises authority on this mountain through an initial stronghold of humanism. Humanism is a pseudo wisdom that is the polar opposite of true wisdom. True wisdom is both the goal and the vehicle for advancement in Education, and God is now sending in big help to begin breaking down education strongholds as well as to accompany His rising sons and daughters.
Many of the new scrolls being released in this next year will be for those attempting to make Kingdom headway in this vital sector of society. New wisdom for new schools, new curriculum and new classroom ideas will be released as the Kingdom of God begins to make a dent in that mountain. If you have a call on this mountain and understand the assignment, position yourself for being advanced.
Interstate 35 Becomes a Highway of Holiness
Isaiah 35 speaks of a "Highway of Holiness" (verse 8) and I believe that this is geographically the redemptive destiny of Interstate 35. I see a powerful artery of the Holy Spirit pumping blood through the heart of the nation with a beat of righteousness and life. Exactly 7 years ago, the I-35 Minneapolis Bridge collapsed and it is now time for a 7-year period of great life and joy to pump and beat through all of I-35. The last 7 years have been years of testing for the I-35 corridor, but now starts a season of great grace.
Many on this route have contended to stay on the battlefield and they will now be greatly rewarded. Minneapolis, Des Moines, Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio are seven key I-35 cities where the saints are making heroic stands against darkness in the nation and prevailing. There is a strong call to pray and intercede all up and down this corridor and this year begins a 7-year period of great authority in prayer. (Photo via Wikimedia)
A very elite prayer force has been prepared in refining fire and now new fuel will come on prayer gatherings. An angelic company will also be releasing scrolls to the prayer movement leaders, and it will cause a season of praying effective and effectual prayers, as hidden secrets from God are released regarding His Reformation agenda.
I saw the multiples of 5 x 7 and 7 x 5 come out of the 5775, and I believe that these multiples that also equal 35, also speak of a strong vein of intercessory prayer and authority for and toward the nation of Israel. The I-35 cities are the watchmen cities of America and Israel, and new oil and wine is coming on them in 5775.
The Harvest Has Begun
I referred to this earlier, but a great prophesied Harvest has in fact already begun. Two great men of God have gone on to their reward in Heaven since Rosh Hashanah of 2013. These two men are Bob Jones and Arthur Burt. Both of these men carried key prophetic promises from the Lord that they would not die until they had seen an unprecedented harvest begin – with spiritual flooding after spiritual flooding taking place.
Bob Jones passed away on Valentine's Day of this year and Arthur Burt at age 102 just passed away in August. God did not lie to either of them and that which they both saw has now begun. Last year was a year of great natural flooding all across America and now the spiritual floods will follow. The harvest Bob Jones saw was worldwide and brought in a billion youth. That harvest has now begun to come in and will progressively increase over the next ten years.
The New Prophetic Level
As might be expected with the coming of angels bringing secrets of God, there will now be a sudden spike in the prophetic level of those already operating in the prophetic.
It will begin to become common place for names, addresses and dates to be revealed prophetically. More importantly than even this the prophetic will now begin to carry much more wisdom for building, as this is what is on the heart of our Papa. (Photo by Jennifer Page "Warrior Angel" via elijahshopper.com)
He will be showcased as the Wise Builder, God during this next season and it will be something that greatly progresses the advancing Church. Furthermore many of the new Believers coming in will evidence this advanced level of the prophetic and it will be key for further stoking the harvest fire of God.
Judah Will Again Lead
Judah, meaning "praise", was the lead warrior tribe of Israel. For many years the worship songs were staying years ahead of the rest of the Church – in what revelation the lyrics were carrying. Over the last several years the preaching has overtaken the lyrics and has been in the lead from a standpoint of revelation. I saw scrolls coming down to worship leaders, song writers and psalmists, and they will now begin to receive the advanced songs of this age of restoration that will become the anthems of a Reformation generation.
Judah will again take the lead as great songs of freedom, hope, and the greatness of God in society will now begin to create a new marching beat for the Body of Christ to march to. This will begin to happen in 5775 and ever increase after that as there will be no ebb to the coming advancement in worship. From now on Judah will stay in the lead. In like manner as you allow Judah/praise to lead in your own life, you will find victorious living as its fruit.
In 5775, the world will not end, the Rapture will not take place, the Great Tribulation will not start. God will be the story line of the year and the secrets He reveals to His kids will be the main newsworthy advance of the year.
To share in that: Awake, Arise, Shine.
