God: The father, the Potter ✡ "We Are All The Word Of Your Hands" - Israel365

But now, Hashem, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You are the Potter, We are all the work of Your hands
Isaiah 64:7 (The Israel Bible™)

וְעַתָּה יְהוָה אָבִינוּ אָתָּה אֲנַחְנוּ הַחֹמֶר וְאַתָּה יֹצְרֵנוּ וּמַעֲשֵׂה יָדְךָ כֻּלָּנוּ
Hear the verse in Hebrew

u-ma-a-SAY ya-d’-KHA ku-LA-nu
 

God: The Father, the Potter

Yeshayahu (Isaiah) presents the Children of Israel's confession of impurity and unworthiness of divine assistance to Hashem (God). The prophet then prays to Hashem on behalf of the Children of Israel and begs God to not be angry with them forever. The Children of Israel humbly acknowledge that they are like clay, and that Hashem is their potter. The people hope that God will not forsake the work of His hands. In addition, the Children of Israel hope for a return to their land, the rebuilding of the holy cities and the Beit Hamikdash (Holy Temple) which had been destroyed years earlier. This same appeal has been echoed for generations, and only in our times has begun to be answered.

Kent Simpson: Jesus Our Mentor - And How His Angels Minister For Us

Kent Simpson:
Kent Simpson
Jesus, Our Mentor And Teacher

Jesus is not only our Savior and Lord but also our Mentor and Teacher through His Holy Spirit. He is our King and our example. Even so, when Jesus came to earth, it took Him three and a half years to show His disciples how to walk in the supernatural with evidence through signs and wonders. While here, He was able to receive the encounter of miraculous interventions. Jesus did many healings and many miracles, in many different ways.

Sometimes Jesus would spit in the dirt, make mud, and place it on a blind man's eyes. Other times He would put His tongue upon them. It is written that He would even spit directly on the blind eyes. You do not see these same types of ministries today because it is not socially acceptable.

How did He know what to do in order for miracles to manifest? Jesus has shown us how. First, He prayed to the Father and whatever the Father told Him to do, Jesus did it. And it always worked, 100% of the time.

You Are Gifted, Whether You Are Aware Of It Or Not

Today we want to see 100% accuracy in the gifts of the Holy Spirit moving in the Body of Christ. The world needs to see the evidence that Jesus is alive and working through His Body, the Church. We are each members of the Body of Christ, and each of us has a function and purpose.

We all have a gifting whether we are aware of it or not. The gift is there, even though it may lay dormant for a long time.

We may even perform greater works than HeWe need to be aware of how Jesus moved and walked: The things Jesus did were done according to the will of the Father. He said, "I do nothing of My own authority. I speak what I hear the Father say" (John 8:28). This is the true Christian way. His works while on earth were demonstrations of what we are to do. We may even perform greater works than He, according to John 14:12.

Many times Jesus would pray to find out what the Father had to say, and when Jesus prayed there were angels ascending and descending upon Him, giving Him instructions from Heaven above. Jesus prayed, "Thy will be done in earth, as it is in Heaven" (Matthew 6:10).

That means we need to find out first from Heaven what needs to be done. When we find out what it is that we are to do, nothing can stop us because the authority of His Word is working through us.

How The Authority Of God's Word Works Through Us: Angels Of Our Lord

When Jesus was born in a manger, there was an army raised up to find him. Every child two years old or under was to be slaughtered, because King Herod heard that a king was born, and Herod feared losing his position.

An angel appeared unto Joseph and Mary and warned them to leave the city, for King Herod sought the life of their newborn Son. They left the city and stayed away for a number of years. Then an angel appeared to them again and let them know that it was safe to return, for King Herod was dead.

This was just the beginning of many encounters with angelic hosts in the ministry of Jesus Christ.

ElijahList Prophetic Resources

When Jesus stood before those who were to judge him, Pontius Pilate said to him, "Do You not know that I hold Your life in my hands? I can give You life or I can take it" (see John 19). Jesus replied that Pilate did not know what he was talking about. He knew He had thousands of angels at His disposal. Upon His word, the angels could have destroyed everything.

When Jesus walked into a city, people came from everywhere to seek Him. Jesus did not have to advertise His presence. People just showed up in the middle of nowhere because the angels of the Lord gathered them. Many times Jesus could not find a place to be alone so that He could seek the will of the Father.

These encounters are important to us because they are examples of how our lives should be. We are not to worship or pray to angels, but they are there as ministering spirits for us.

Angels, His Ministering Spirits

Fear Not by Marybeth StaffordMinistering spirits are angels sent to minister, not to us but for us. When you came into the Kingdom of God, an angel was appointed unto you. When you gave your life to Jesus Christ, it is recorded in the Gospels that an angel went before the face of God and reported your name to Him so that it could be written into the Lamb's Book of Life. These ministering spirits are waiting for you to yield unto the will of Jesus Christ, that He may dispatch them on your behalf to minister for you.

To each and every one of us there is at least one angel appointed as a guardian to watch over us. But there are more angels that are to be dispatched by the word of God. Jesus had thousands of angels at His disposal, and they ministered for Him. And He says, "Greater works you will do," in John 14:12.

If you have more than one angel, you may find something is working in your life that you truly could not have done on your own. You do not have the intellect to comprehend what God will do through you as He appoints an angel to minister for you. There are testimonials of people who knew they were supposed to die years ago. Their lives were spared for a purpose, by angels who were watching over them until their appointed time to be with the Lord.

How do we obtain these angels? How do we receive the appointment of these angels? If we do not pray to them or worship them, how do we get their assistance as promised to us in Hebrews 1:14 NKJV: "Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?"

Baptized by the Holy SpiritIt all begins with the impartation of a spiritual gift of the Holy Spirit.

When you received the baptism of the Holy Spirit, there was a gift appointed unto you. That gift is still there with you. If you look back and recall when you received the baptism of Jesus, not only of the water but the Spirit, according to Acts 1, then you will see that there was a spiritual gift given unto you.

Maybe shortly after you received the Holy Spirit you prayed for somebody and they were healed. Maybe you had a dream and it came to pass. Maybe you had a vision or a word burning in you for somebody and you could find no relief until you were able to deliver that word.

Take a moment and think back. What area of spiritual encounter did your ministering spirit perform through you?

Angels are appointed by the Holy Spirit to minister in accordance with the spiritual gifts that have been imparted into you. For, you see, the angels are the ones who are doing the ministering for you. It is not your own willfulness or power that overcomes the natural so that you can walk in the supernatural. No! It is the angel of the Lord who was sent to do the work for you.

Your Appointed Angel Seeks To Do His Word

When Peter was in prison, the congregation was praying for his safe return. An angel went to the prison and kicked Peter to wake him up. The angel told him to get his things and then led him out of prison. Peter came to the house where they were praying for him and knocked on the door. A girl peeped out and saw Peter but did not let him in; instead she went to tell the others. But they replied that it could not be Peter at the door but it must be his angel. Why would they say such a thing?

It should be an effortless deed to walk in the supernatural. An angel is going about seeing to it that the word of God is fulfilled in your life. There are so many references in the Bible about angels. If you were to look up all of the encounters, you would surely be blessed to know that angels are still here ministering for us. An encounter with an angel will set you free.

When will your next encounter be?

Bob and Bonnie Jones: Poison Gourds! Young Prophets to Address Religious Spirit (The Elijah List)

Bob and Bonnie Jones:
Poison Gourds! Young Prophets to Address Religious Spirit

Bob and Bonnie JonesIn a vision I saw a group of dedicated people, like the sons of the prophets, but one of them had put green gourds in the cooking pot. Immediately I knew this was a parable from 2 Kings 4 with Elisha and the sons of the prophets.

Elisha came back to Gilgal during a famine in the land. The sons of the prophets were sitting before him, and he said to his servant, Set on the big pot and cook pottage for the sons of the prophets. Then one went into the field to gather herbs and gathered from a wild vine his lap full of wild gourds, and returned and cut them up into the pot of pottage, for they were unknown to them.

gourdsSo they poured it out for the men to eat. But as they ate of the pottage, they cried out, O man of God, there is death in the pot! And they could not eat it. But he said, Bring meal [as a symbol of God's healing power]. And he cast it into the pot and said, Pour it out for the people that they may eat. Then there was no harm in the pot. 2 Kings 4:38-41, Amplified

The young prophets made this pot of stew and partook of it and then cried out to Elisha "death is in the pot!"

These were the next line of prophets that would carry forth the word to the people, but the enemy used this opportunity to try and kill all the young prophets at once.

A lot of people have been gathering that which they think is fruit, but in fact it's a gourd that represents a religious spirit. It looks just like a vegetable but it has death in it. Instead of gathering the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) many of the vegetables with the wrong spirit got thrown into the cooking pot. These have brought forth mixed messages and confusion that leads to death.

Therefore the Body has received stew that contained bitterness, strife and jealousy instead of faith, hope and love.

Just as the young prophets cried out to Elisha (verse 40), I feel the Body is crying out to the prophets of today for the truth. The true prophets have been going through a time of cleansing and purifying to rid themselves of any poison that might be left in them. 

One cannot bring a pure word while they are struggling with infectious spiritual disease that will contaminate the whole Body when they release it. We need to have a more sure word of prophecy being poured out from purified vessels.

Healing Power

Elisha got meal, which is a symbol of healing power (verse 41), threw it in the pot and stirred it and said, "Now eat!" The meal neutralized the poison. The religious spirit has been operating in the Church for a very long time.

But I feel the real prophets are going to come against it in such a powerful way that it will neutralize this poison and bring healing of all kinds to the Body.

Our job is to take the death out of the pot.

There's a lot of false doctrines and heresy being taught right now and once the prophets start dealing with it, it's not going to be pretty. In fact it will be rather messy. But it's going to take a remnant that's dedicated to the Lord to address these false doctrines and heresies. This is not for the faint of heart but for those who have a heart after God's. These untruths are poisoning the Body of Christ and killing it.

Highway of holinessElisha who was chosen by God and mantled by Elijah with a double portion of his spirit (2 Kings 2:9-13), returned to Gilgal during a famine in the land.

Gilgal means a place of faith (2 Kings4:38), and I believe that is where this generation of prophets must dwell.

There has been a famine of hearing the inspired word of God because many of the prophetic voices have been eating from the wrong cooking pot.

Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord God, when I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but [a famine] for hearing the words of the Lord. Amos8:11, Amplified

Now is the time for the tried and true prophetic voices to deliver the "real meal" that will bring healing power and deliverance to the Body and salvation to the unsaved.

Mature Remnant

The Lord is calling forth a mature remnant to promote them with new authority.

They will have the ability to come together in unity because they have settled their affections on Him (Colossians 3:2). Therefore, they can agree with one another in unity. And when they do, they will have koinonia (communion) together for the common purpose of the Church.

When they meet together in unity, a higher wisdom will be imparted. This remnant can be found in 1 Corinthians 2:6-10: "However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.

Church ablazeThe Church has gone through a rather severe testing for the last six or seven years but that time has come to an end. Now is a time of closing out the old books and opening new ones. It's an end of one time and the beginning of a new one. 

Those who've been promoted will become the leaders of the Church and they will minister by what they hear from the Holy Spirit. In this promotion there will be an understanding of what God wants done and how to do it.

Get ready to bury the good and bad past and come into maturity where everyone hears from God in corporate meetings. Then His plans and purpose can be set in motion because the Body has come into agreement with Him. Then at the end of this time the greater works will begin. And one of the things we will do first is glorify the Father in great signs and wonders.

I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father. And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in My Name [as presenting all that I Am], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son. John 14:12-13, Amplified

Father Loves Mashed Potatoes

We're coming to a forty-year timing in the Spirit. In 1974, the Father told me that He loves "mashed potatoes" and that is what He wants out of all of us. He wants all of us to come together in unity as one Body. Then when the greater works comes forth, no one person will get the credit.

It will be corporate because His Body of Believers will function as one under the leadership of the Holy Spirit and in demonstration of His power. The Father wants mashed potatoes – to where love is revealed in a remnant group and the love would be revealed for Him, His Son and the Holy Spirit.

Tomato vs. Potato
The tomato and potato are of the same family. The tomato grows above ground on a vine and represents revealed love that everyone can see.

Whereas the potato represents concealed love because it grows underground and remains hidden so only the Father can see it. 

Now, get ready for this hidden love to be revealed. 

There's a revealing of the Father's love in His Body and the mashed potatoes are the koinonia.

When the Body comes together in love, there's no distinction between the Believers. Like mashed potatoes, they all look the same and are mixed together for His purpose.

And this love we will have for Him is greater understanding. For all things are in the hands of the Father and He does with them as He chooses. And He chose to give His sons and daughters special understanding that must come concerning the future.

Through corporate love understanding will be given. There were two hundred sons of Issachar and that was corporate understanding. When those who are of mature wisdom come together a higher wisdom is imparted. I would say that higher wisdom is understanding.

The Holy Spirit has been moving for the last forty-five to fifty years in equipping and preparing for what is about to come forth in the Body of Christ.

Once meal is thrown into the cooking pot and the religious spirit dealt with, the Body will heal and come together in corporate love, koinonia. New leaders will arise and take their place and walk in demonstration power. Then we'll begin to see new things coming to the Body of Christ.

Church services like we've known in the past and present are coming to an end because there's going to be a significant change. We can't continue on the same road we've been on and expect the Holy Spirit to anoint it. 

The old system of doing things is coming to an end and we are in for a new beginning.
Church ablazeIt's only a remnant that will enter into it.

There's a hunger and thirst for the next step, and those who have remained steadfast through these years of testing shall advance to the next level of authority

And many shall be those who follow them because the religious spirit will be put to death. When it tries to raise it's head, the Body will quickly discern it and not allow it to take root in the Body again because Holy Fire will devour it.
