Seasons of Revelation

well hello how is everybody doing we now have picture as well as sound hopefully we have both coming through uh hope everybody is doing well we are doing our live on a different day and a different time we normally do our lives on wednesdays at noon essential standard time but i'm going to be traveling i'm not going to be around i'm actually going to be traveling over the next couple weeks and we thought instead of having a two-week break we would find a place where we could fit this in so we were able to fit it in now i've got about half an hour and i have some things that i wanted to share just a little short teaching and we'll see as our as our comments come in where everybody's coming from well hello sandra it's good to see you it's been a while uh janelle welcome glad you could hop on hey as you guys are hopping on go ahead and let us know where you're coming from where where are you at here whether you're in the united states or whether you are in other places lauren i know is from norway welcome glad to have you in um let's see somebody is still healing from being tired and fatigued from covid that is a real thing let me tell you when i had that in december january the end of december beginning of january this year that was about two weeks where i was so worn out i mean i i'll i i've got a peloton so i'd ride quite a bit and you know i'll do almost 10 miles over nine miles in half an hour normally and i could not walk around the block i mean i i went to go for a nice slow walk with my wife and i got about you know half a block from the house and had to basically turn around and just come back home i was not able to handle it it was uh it was something else but blessings on you may the lord just release strength and health over you and stamina and restore all of your energy everything that was stolen by that sickness be restored in the name of jesus christ i just i want to release that over everybody if you have if you have a physical illness right now i'm just i want to release health and healing there is uh there's so much power in prayer and sometimes we we hear oh i'm you know i've got a headache or i've got this going on and well we're not thinking about praying right now we don't always think about it always always think about praying all whenever you hear somebody's going through something somebody is not feeling well just immediately lift up a prayer and and release that over them it's astounding what can happen i i don't know if you saw our streams gathering from saturday night but if you did not see it i encourage you go hop on even if you just watch the first few minutes when kathy is doing the announcement she shares a testimony somebody that got uh just miraculously healed over the weekend it was beautiful it was beautiful beautiful so um yeah awesome well i want to talk a little bit about seasons of revelation and understanding how to press in for revelation a little bit uh this is not going to be a dream interpretation video we do those every other time so the next time we get on we'll be doing dream interpretation this one i'm gonna just spend a little bit of time of teaching let's see boy we've got uh people from all over the place we've got the the virgin islands welcome we have india we've got south africa uh saw here's norway we've got maryland we've got people from all over wonderful guys welcome so glad that you're here so let's talk just a little bit about seasons of revelation if you ever notice that there seems to be certain times when uh there's there seems to be more revelation that comes out i i've noticed this over the years uh there there was a guy that passed away and a number of years ago a lot of you have heard of him bob jones he was a prophetic guy and he had this experience where god would start and come and speak to him on yom kippur it's or excuse me um not on yom kippur on the day yeah yom kippur is david thomas i was thinking i've got mixed up in my head rosh hashanah and yom kippur yom kippur is the right one which is the day of atonement god would come and would give him messages often messages for the year and and that was something that that would happen it was rather unique that that was not something that we know of in church history it was kind of a new thing and and for a season of time god did that for him he would give him messages and he would share those messages and often there'd be very helpful very uh very intriguing the some of the revelation that came out that would define the the following year what happened is is people started hearing about this and then began pressing in and a bunch of people now it's actually a pretty common thing most people that are around the prophetic don't think anything of people giving prophetic words about the the the new year the the jewish new year specifically or the day of atonement what was called the shepherds rod or different feasts different jewish feasts that would happen sometimes even in natural in not in in natural is not the right word but not in jewish feasts but even holidays that we have such as christmas and different messages that would come at certain times of the year and i i've noticed something that is very intriguing to me there there seems to be seasons where more revelation happens and the reason for it most of the time is because people are actually asking that the reason that more people are getting revelation around those times is not necessarily because god waits to speak until those times but because people are asking people are looking people are expecting you can actually begin to develop seasons of revelation in your own life when you position yourself with hunger and you begin to ask god to speak to you and so it's not really about the day it's not about the particular season it's about the faith and the expectation we're told in romans that we prophesy according to the measure of our faith and so as we develop faith and expectation that god's going to be speaking to us we're going to start to hear him more the more that we are looking for him to speak the more we hear him one of the things that we teach in the prophetic courses the art of hearing god and in streams academy is this principle that what you focus on you make room for what you focus on you make room for now there's some natural reasons for that the way god created humanity part of the the way that he created us as humans is we have this portion in our brain that scientists have called the reticular activating system it's the ras and the reticular activating system is a portion of the brain that filters stimulus so you have stimulus that is coming in through all of your different receptors all five senses whether it's the the feeling of the air around you your skin you you have sense of touch uh a feeling when i touch my hand i can feel my hand touching my hand there's sound that's going on there's a buzz from the electricity there's other things that are happening i can hear vehicles just barely going on the road uh that's not far from where we're at we have all these different sounds i'm seeing so many different things i'm sitting in my office right now and i have a camera right in front of me i have a computer screen right in front of me it has comments that people are coming in i've got a bookshelf that's right there with decorations i've got my door that has all these things i have right over here i have a map that's on the wall of the world with all of this on it so many stimulus and every day excuse me every day we have all this stimulus that that is coming into our brains and if we paid attention to every bit of the stimulus all the time some some scientists suggest it's around 3 billion bytes of information per second that's a lot of information 3 billion bytes of information per second that's coming into our brain we can't pay attention to all of it and so god gave us the reticular activating system to filter out the revelation so we know what to pay attention to what not to pay attention to not just revelation but any type of stimulus now our natural senses as well as our supernatural senses go through the reticular activating system so in the natural if you come into a room and you smell the fragrance that's in the room maybe there is a musty smell or maybe it you put on your cologne in the morning like i i put on some cologne this morning and i can't smell it right now but you know i've had multiple different times at the end of the day or or something during the day i give my wife a hug and she was like oh you smell good i can't smell the clone anymore but it's still there and the smell is still there and the smell is still strong i just have gotten used to it so i'm not paying attention to it anymore so we begin to filter out things we we start not paying attention those of you that are guys or those of you that are women and you have guys in your life the one of the one of the jokes that we make about the male brain is like we can see something and when it's not where we expect it we can't see it we lose stuff just this morning i i was asking donna i'm like hey do we have any more napkins because where we keep out napkins that we can use we'd run out a napkin so i was looking for him and i didn't see any and she goes they're right there they were on the shelf below where they normally are i didn't see him until she pointed him out our brains they tell us what we're looking for what we're not looking for and it can cause us to see things that we expect to see that aren't there and also not to see things but also to pay attention to certain things that are important to us a lot of you have had this experience if you've ever gotten a new car and then you're driving on the road and you start to recognize how many of the same cars on the road it's like when you went and got that new car everybody else went and got the same new car i'm not everybody everybody but there's so many more of them i mean there were just a few that were on the road and now there are hundreds and they're all over the place that's the reticular activating system now tying this into seasons of revelation you can train your reticular activating system to pay attention to certain things and when you begin to look for something you will tend to see it the more you train yourself to look for it the more you tend to see it and so people that begin to pray and ask the lord god what is your word for over this coming year it's it's the head of the year it's it's rosh hashanah i want to know what your is or it's january it's come january 1st what's your word over the year if you pay if you press in and you look for that you'll probably hear something and it's not because necessarily there's a special season of revelation because paul when he was talking to the colossians he said don't get too caught up on days and in seasons as if one day was better than another day don't get caught up now he's specifically talking about revelation in the spiritual life because he's talking about people that that press in and they say that that asceticism and and the the um restriction the affliction that's the word i'm looking for the affliction of the body is a path under revelation you know some that will say that certain days or certain seasons are a path into revelation some that will say uh oh i can't remember the third thing this is all in colossians chapter two and and that that some people they just keep on going on about their visions they keep on going on about their experiences with angels and it's not actually promoting godliness but it's drawing us back into religious systems what what paul calls the elementary principles of this world and we're not holding fast to christ and and if we just hold fast to christ that is the way to greater spirituality so fasting is good but it's not a path to higher spirituality understanding times and seasons is good but it's not a path to higher spirituality the this this place of of pressing in at certain seasons that that's good as long as it's about jesus christ and it's not a path to a higher realm of spirituality or or to a higher realm of the prophetic it's just merely god responding to faith and when we press in to faith we're going to get revelation so if you will develop your trust that god is going to speak you will find him speaking more and here's the key don't get too caught up in what day it is or what time of the year it is it's always good to to be aware and asking god what he's doing and what's happening in the season but if we put our trust in certain days what will happen is when god's speaking on another day we might miss him we're looking on the top shelf for the napkins and they're actually on the shelf below but because they're not where we expect we completely miss it we don't even see it and it's not only guys that do that we all do that and we need to really change our interaction with this and come back to simple faith our god is a god who speaks he loves to tell his children secrets he loves to tell us what's going on in his heart jesus told his disciples in john chapter 15 and we get brought into this no longer do i call you slaves but i call you friends why because a slave doesn't know everything is going on with the master but i'm going to tell you everything that the father reveals to me a slave just gets told what to do but a friend gets drawn into the heart and we've been drawn into the heart and the heartbeat of god never stops beating it doesn't beat more in certain seasons and in other seasons he is the same today yesterday and tomorrow he does not change there is no shifting or shadow of change with him he is eternally the voice the word of god the speaking god the one who spoke the universe into existence whose word is still holding all things he is the one who speaks to his kids and if you are his sheep if you are one of his if you know jesus you are one of his children you can hear his voice it's your birthright you can hear the voice of god every single one you don't have to have special gifting special calling to be able to hear you can hear the word of god see before the coming of christ you had to have a special calling you had to be a special person to be able to hear the voice of god the few got to hear but with the coming of jesus christ he has given the holy spirit to everyone who believes and everyone who believes has access to the heart of god like paul says in first corinthians 14 you can all prophesy one by one that all may learn and all may be encouraged you can all prophesy and then earlier in that chapter the first verse of that same chapter chapter 14 of first corinthians he says you know pursue love pursue love and eagerly desire spiritual gifts especially that you may prophesy desire look for long for because as you desire and as you long for revelation you will find windows opening up for that now if you have the faith or if god has spoken to you saying that he's going to speak to you at a certain time believe it trust in it look for it but if god has not spoken that to you don't wait for a certain time just because somebody else he talks to somebody else at this time of the year or this time of the year doesn't mean that that's what he does with everybody he meets with each one of us individually and we can all hear from him whenever he's speaking and so hold your faith not in the time or the season but hold your faith in the god who speaks because he is our father he is a loving father that longs to communicate to his children so let me take a look at some of these comments this is we've got quite a few comments i'm just going to kind of scroll through here and see if there's any good questions that i can i can hit on um i i will mention if you typed in a dream i'm not doing dream interpretation today we'll we'll do that another time when we do a different live so hopefully we will catch us catch up uh that so somebody asked when is yom kippur uh i think we just had it if i remember correctly i'm gonna pull up the exact date it was just a yeah it was on the 16th so it started on the evening sundown of the 15th and went through sundown of the 16th this coming weekend is the feast of tabernacles so that was the yom kippur was on the 16th rosh hashanah which is the jewish new year was on september the 7th so it started in the evening of september the 6th which was labor day for us and went through the the seventh so that was the those two particular days and this is um you can easily find any of the jewish dates like i've got apple calendar and it has all the jewish holidays written on there i think i had to subscribe to that calendar and tell it that i wanted to but anytime you want you can look up jewish holidays on google and then the year so jewish holidays 2021 and it'll list them all out with the dates that they are in the the roman calendar um that is awesome uh so lauren asked can you please explain atonement simply one time so the day of atonement was the day where there was a sacrifice that was made for all the sins of israel that that they had not recognized and they had not already brought a sin offering for and so if someone was would catch themselves oops i didn't mean to do that i was sinning they would bring a sacrifice shed the blood and that would there would be a sin offering that was given but on the day of atonement there there were sins maybe the whole nation had sinned maybe they didn't realize it there were unintentional sins they'd fallen into sin and so they would have a special sacrifice where blood it was the only time of the year where anybody was allowed to come into the most holy place after moses had passed away and moses had access he would go into the most holy place and meet with god regularly but after that nobody had access to go into the most holy place except for once a year the high priest would bring in blood into the most holy place and sprinkle it on the mercy seat that was on top of the ark of the covenant and so atonement literally means a covering so it's a sacrifice that covers sin so that the sin is not seen so that people can be whole and pure and this is the the picture that the writer of hebrews pulls up when he's talking about the sacrifice of jesus he said that it used to be people somebody had to go in every single year and bring in an atonement for sins because every year there need to be a fresh atonement there needed to be a fresh offering and they would bring the blood of bowler of goats or such things into the holy place and it would be the for the forgiveness of people because without blood there is no forgiveness but jesus went once and for all into the the true tabernacle not the tabernacle made by hands but the true tabernacle which is in the heavenly places and he brought his own blood as a sacrifice once and for all so it's not going to have to be done again and again and again every year like the previous sacrifice his sacrifice is once and for all and i love that there's this little phrase in there that the writer of hebrews said that if if the if the sacrifice for sin had removed sin so atonement covers sin but it doesn't remove sin if the if the sacrifice had removed sin then there would no longer remain any consciousness of sins and then he says the blood of jesus removes sin it actually removes the sin and so we can live without the consciousness of sins that we have brought under the blood when we repent of our sin we confess it before the lord we bring it under the blood of jesus we're completely forgiven and we no longer have to live as we can live as if we had not sinned we do not have to live in the in the reminder of that sin in the consciousness of that sin it's removed it's gone and we can live out this life so it is a beautiful beautiful thing let me see we've got people from canada on uh proverbs 31 answered your question as well lauren um okay so heard and saw the words to cut in my dream what would that be well it's a hebrew word that talks about tabernacle and we're actually coming up into the feast of tabernacles take a look at the feast of tabernacles there's a few different things you'll find some some places in numbers i think in exodus and numbers deuteronomy uh it talks about it in zechariah as some interesting but it was pointing to the time when god would take up his dwelling with us we're we're in that time of tabernacle because god is living within us and we are in this journey and so it was a prophetic sign for the season the the season of the the christian from the time of jesus's resurrection until he returns so that is that okay my sheep know my voice and i know my sheep yes um and then this will be our last question here uh tommy jones asked do you have an understanding of the word codify holy spirit dropped this word in my spirit never heard this word uh i relate it to the ten commandments maybe related to something else well the the the word codify means to set it into code it's it's taking something that is general and establishing it making it more specific um and so to codify something is to make something law uh so that that's what it is it's talking about something that was a principle that it's gonna be more um more poignant uh in in in a situation so yeah it has to do with like the code of conduct it's like this is the standard this is now this is what things are judged by or determined by um not all judgment is a pronouncing judgment but it's what it's it's discerned by it's like with this lines up with this then it's okay type of a thing and so that would that would codify um awesome guys there are so so many things on here uh i've really enjoyed this time i hope that you found in a couple of you mentioned that there is um that you you found some some things beneficial from this time hopefully we've been able to answer some questions we're going to be doing this again we will be back in a few weeks i'm going to be gone traveling over the next couple weeks and then we'll be back and we'll be doing dream interpretation the next time we do a live until then the lord bless you press in listen to his voice because he wants to speak to you god bless you guys
