THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION

MY MOURNING DOVE

Lately Father has been speaking to me of the imminency of His taking out of the Bride and that the workers will be sent out. This is in line with the context of my devotional teachings and has become a focus on the Spirit being poured out, what the harvest workers will be exposed to, and preparing them for their assignments. This teaching in particular focuses quite a bit on the disposition of the Bride and the responsibility of the Worker Bride. As usual, Father has spoken to me by numbers and dreams and various means to confirm the content for this teaching as He wants it communicated to His children. Once again, there is a great imminency of His return to take His Bride. And while we have heard many times that He is coming soon, we know that the Bride will be watching and praying, responding to His call to make ready to stand before the Son of Man. I pray that we will all be earnest in hearing and applying what the Father is speaking in this devotional teaching, while there is yet still a little time.

About a month ago I was in my kitchen, and the Spirit came over me and I began to cry. I began crying out to Him longing to see His face. I told Him it felt like a long-distance relationship where you read each other’s letters but you never see each other’s faces. I long to look at His face and look into His eyes; I want to behold Him. I told Him I wanted to see His countenance and stand before Him and touch Him. What was interesting is that I was not even thinking about these things; it was the Spirit that came over me. It was the Spirit in me that started crying out for Him. The words that came out of my mouth are, “When are you coming?”. I told Him that dates have come and gone and I am longing to see Him, asking again, “When are you coming; when will I see you?”. I didn’t expect Him to answer me as it was simply a cry from my heart. (Honestly, we should stay away from people who say the Lord told them a date as to when He is coming; this is not going to happen.) It was the next morning that I woke up with the following words, “My mourning doves will take flight in the morning”.

Anytime I hear the word dove, I think of the Song of Solomon where He is speaking to His bride, and He calls her a dove. You will remember that in Luke 11 Yeshua’s disciples asked Him what the signs for the times to come would be, to which He responded that He will be here as a greater Solomon. When He said this, He is referring to two things. The first is that He is the Bridegroom, and the second is that He is the Builder; He is a Bridegroom Builder. This is also what the Bride is; she is a Bride Builder. Of course, they will be working together.

About seven years ago, I went into my garden and found a baby dove. This little dove was a newborn with no feathers, eyes not open, and it was completely dependent on its mother. It was as good as dead, and as I looked at it the Spirit said to me, “This is what I am bringing you into… as good as dead”. And since then, this is what He has done in me. This is what I spoke about in my last devotional teaching, “Counting the Cost”, where He puts you in such a place of dependence and death that unless He is the life in you, you do not have any life in you at all. This is what He brings the Bride into.

Let’s go to the Song of Solomon and read all of chapter 2, as it is such a beautiful love letter.

SONG OF SOLOMON 2

¹ I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

²As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

³As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

⁴He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

⁵Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.

⁶His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.

⁷I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.

⁸The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.

⁹My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.

¹⁰My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

¹¹For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

¹²The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

¹³The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

¹⁴O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.

¹⁵Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.

¹⁶My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.

¹⁷Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.

When I cried out to Him asking when I would see Him, I was sick with love and desperate to see Him, just as she shares in verse 4. I wasn’t crying out to leave this earth and the things of this earth, because I know I am going to be here to work; but I was crying out to see His face and be with Him. In verse 8, she hears His voice! This reminds me of a past devotional teaching called “When God Speaks” that covers this hearing of His voice. She continues speaking about how He bids her to rise up and come to Him and all is fresh and new and the green figs and tender grapes have appeared. She is specifically speaking here of their young ones of the harvest, and she wants the little foxes that spoil the vines to be taken away. In verse 16, she is speaking of how her beloved feeds among the lilies which represent the virgins who follow the Bride. In my teaching called “The Queen of the South”, I talk about the lilies and how these are the virgins who accompany the Bride. In verse 17, it is speaking of the morning, and this ties back to what He said to me that morning, “My mourning doves will take flight in the morning”.

To dissect a little further, let’s go back to verses 10 – 12. We can see from the winter being past and the flowers appearing that it is springtime, and this is obviously a reference to new life. The singing of the birds is a reference to worship, a time of joyful singing about this new life. The voice of the turtle spoken of is actually the turtle dove, a mourning dove to be specific. When Father said that His mourning doves will take flight in the morning, He was referring to the turtle dove. The turtle dove is singing a song of mourning for His return. Many people are so used to hearing of the return of Yeshua that they are actually not even looking for Him anymore. They are busy with eschatological studies and trying to understand all of these things, but there is not actually a true mourning for His return. They are busy with the things concerning His return but not necessarily focused on Him. This turtle dove in verse 12 is truly mourning for His return. In verse 14, she is talking to Him, and she is telling Him that He is her dove. This dove is different from the one in verse 12. This one in the Strong’s is defined as a “rock dove”. She is telling Him that He is her Rock and she wants to hear His voice in the secret place. This mourning dove and rock dove are love birds completely in love with each other. The words “day break” in verse 17 refer to the morning, specifically with “day” referring to a day, time, or year. The next words “until the shadows flee away” refers to a sundial. Specifically with the “shadows”, the Strong’s says that it is that time when the sun is as its highest peak and there are no shadows, which is basically noon. So He comes and breaks forth in the morning until the time when there are no more shadows, and she welcomes Him to come as a roe or a hart and break through the darkness and come upon the mountains. The mountains speak of tribulation, so she is saying for Him to come to her during those difficult times and get her. With regard to the “mountains of Bether”, “Bether” means a sacrifice that is cut in two, which immediately gives us an understanding that this is about covenant. She is in covenant with Him.

During the time the Worker Bride, this turtle dove, is being prepared for the Rock Dove, in the valleys and hills, she is crying out and been cut as she has placed herself as a sacrifice on the altar (Romans 12). He as the High Priest has dealt with every area in her life, and she has entered into covenant with Him. She identifies with His death by allowing Him to bring her to a place where she is as good as dead. She is that dove who has entered into covenant with Him. The mountain “Bether” made me think of Yeshua on the cross when He was pierced in His side, or when the Rock was cleft, and what flowed out of Him was water and blood. What flows out of a woman when she gives birth is water and blood. The piercing or cleft from which the Bride comes out speaks of that birth that will take place when the escape, or rapture, takes place. That event will birth things that will take place as spoken of in Acts 2, where signs and wonders will happen and the great harvest will come in. That will only be for a short while.

She also refers to Him as a roe, and this means “beauty, glory, and honor”. She tells Him to come in His majesty and glory, to come forth in all His beauty. Think of Solomon the king. She also mentions Him being as a hart, which is “a ram, sacrifice, mighty, splendor, glory, chief, a pillar, a strong man”. In my “Queen of the South” teaching I speak of how He is the pillar and the Queen is standing next to Him as a pillar, with her being on His right hand, which means “south”. She as the Queen of the South, the Bride rising up with Him, is also a pillar, and they have been made into one. This is her, the turtle dove, crying out to her rock dove to come as a pillar in His stately, kingly stature as the Bridegroom Builder, to come over the mountains and find her. In my recent teaching, “My Disciples”, I also spoke of how the Bride is also seen as a deer (or hart) as Psalm 42:1 says, “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God”. Also in Habakkuk 3:19 it says, “The Lord God is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places”. The Bride is also a deer or a doe, and the enemy is hunting her; he’s after the Bride and he’s after the Bridegroom.

A few days ago I woke up at 23:21, which is 2321, and in the Strong’s it is a Greek word that means “friend of God”. Once again, the word “friend” is a covenant term. The words “loving-kindness” and “friend” both refer to being in covenant. If you go back to David and Jonathan (who was from the tribe of Benjamin), they had covenant with one another. The Word says that their souls were knitted together as one, which is very important for us to understand. David took of his armor, his coat, and shoes and sword and gave it to Jonathan. In the same way, Christ comes to us to be in covenant with us through the cross, where He has been slaughtered like the animals were slaughtered before Abram. He stands in covenant with us as His Bride, and we are in covenant with Him as well. He says that whatever is His is ours, and whatever is ours is His.

The other day I was thinking about this verse in Song of Solomon 2:16 where it says, “My beloved is mine, and I am His…”, and I was pondering this and wondering if we really understand and believe these words that we are truly His in covenant. Is everything really His, including our spouses, our jobs, our children, our parents, our siblings, our possessions, our dreams, our ministry? Can He take any of these things from us when He wants and how He wants, should He want to? Have we really counted the cost? Are we as good as dead, so that whatever happens we are so resigned to His perfect will that we are truly all His? A few years ago I said to Him, “You are my everything”. Then He said to me, “I am only your everything when I am all you have”. The price that He asks of us is ultimate, but so is the glory, the intimacy, and the friendship; so is the way He is over us when we give Him all, when He sees we long to give Him all. The Word says in 2 Chronicles 16:9, “For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him”. This speaks of the heart being perfect – the heart of one that longs to give Him everything and is willing and who is pure and authentic toward Him. This is a process, as they search their hearts and ask the relevant questions about themselves. They ask if the Word of truth is true in them. And if they find out it is not true, they seek Him earnestly, because they desire to give Him all. This is not in fear but in awe and love. When you’re in love, you will give anything to that person. No one has greater love than he who lays down his life for his friends (John 15:13), and He calls us His friends (John 15:15). “Friend” is a covenant term that once you have entered into it, you can truly say, “I am His and He is mine”. Psalm 25 tells us more about this relationship.

PSALM 25

¹⁴The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him; and he will shew them his covenant.

The word “secret” is Strong’s H5475 and it means “counsel, secret counsel, familiar converse, intimacy with God, a circle of family, familiar friends”. This “secret” is the intimacy and close union that the Father has with those who fear Him and who have set apart their lives for Him. Not those who have said a prayer at some time, but those who are actually living their lives in a way that is completely given over to Him. He shares His heart with them; they know Him, and they are in His inner circle as His closest friends. They are His Benjamins as He is Joseph; they are the Elijahs and the John the Baptists, and they are friends of the Bridegroom. The word “show” is H3405 and it means “to make myself known or to reveal oneself. “Covenant” is H1285 which means an “alliance of friendship and an alliance of marriage”.

A few days ago I woke up at 5:22, and I looked it up in the Strong’s. It is a Greek word that means “I take away, remove, pass, I am taken away, withdrawn”. It is from the word H142 which means “to raise, take up, lift, I raise, lift up, take away, remove”. He is clearly speaking that He is coming soon to take His dove away.

Let’s read more about the dove in Psalm 68.

PSALM 68

¹³Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.

With regard to “lien among the pots”, we know that Christ was crucified outside the camp. This is a reference to the potter’s field where all the broken pots were thrown out. We are all broken pots outside the camp that He will use. He uses broken vessels, and He pours out His gold into all the cracks so His glory can shine through. We have lien among the pots and become so dark like the Shulamite who says not to look upon her because she is black, as she is referring to her sin because she is clay and dust like the pots. She is aware of all of this. He says that even though we have lien among the pots and become black, our wings (of the dove) will be covered with silver with feathers of yellow gold. I looked at a commentary on this from the Biblestudy.org website, and I would like to share what I found, because it so beautifully speaks of the Bride.

COMMENTARY ON PSALM 68:13 – BIBLE STUDY.ORG

The philosopher observes that the necks of doves appear of a golden colour by the refraction of light. And this describes the saints and people of God as they are by grace. They are comparable to the dove on many accounts: like doves of the valleys, every one of them mourn for their iniquities; like the trembling and fearful dove, tremble at the apprehensions of divine wrath, and judgment to come under first convictions; and are fearful of their enemies, and of their own state; are humble, modest, and meek; think the worst of themselves, and the best of others; flee to Christ for refuge, and to ordinances for refreshment; are chaste and affectionate to Christ, and harmless and inoffensive in their lives and conversations. Being "as the wings of a dove covered with silver" may denote the purity of doctrine held by them; the words of the Lord being as silver purified seven times, and the preciousness and sincerity of their faith, by which they mount up with wings as eagles; and the holiness of their conversation, being as becomes the Gospel of Christ: and being as the "feathers" of a dove covered "with yellow gold" may denote their being adorned with the graces of the Spirit, as faith, hope, and love; which are more precious than gold that perisheth, and are called chains of gold, see; or their being clothed with the righteousness of Christ, signified by gold of Ophir [this is a reference to Psalm 45 where the Bride stands in gold of Ophir, who is the Queen of the South – my note], and clothing of wrought gold; or their being enriched with the unsearchable, solid, substantial, and durable riches of Christ.

It describes the church in the latter day, when her light will be come, and the glory of the Lord will rise upon her; when her stones will be laid with fair colours, and her foundations with sapphires; when she shall have the glory of God upon her and be as a bride adorned for her husband.

Here we have a description of the Queen of the South, and she is the mourning dove that will take flight. In Song of Solomon 2:10 when he tells her to rise up and come away, it means to take flight. I know Father was without a doubt referring to Song of Solomon 2 when He gave me the words that His mourning doves will take flight in the morning. We also find here that her foundations are with sapphires.

Not long ago I had a dream about doves that is very applicable to this teaching.

MY DREAM - FOUNDATION

A dove was sitting on my shoulder, and it was a beautiful dove (the commentary just shared is how I saw this dove). It had the most beautiful sapphire, emerald green, and deep pink colors. This dove loved me; it would come against my neck and just wanted to be held. This dove was so lovable. I wanted to go downstairs and tell my husband about it. However, my husband in a fit of rage threw something out of the door of the room he was in, and I knew I couldn’t share this with him then because the dove was so fragile and would be frightened very easily. I turned around to go back, and there were dogs all around me. Then when I got to the top of the stairs, I saw the feathers of this dove on the floor covered in blood. End of dream.

Interpretation

The government of the love of the Holy Spirit was resting on my shoulder. As I went down the stairs, this represents going down in humility. My husband represented the back-slidden church that is angry. In protecting the dove, the Holy Spirit, and then onIy finding the feathers and the blood represents the persecution that Christ in us will suffer as we are persecuted. The dogs represent man, or man’s best friend, and the Lord said He would bring those friends along my path. We can see how the Bride and the Spirit as the dove are all the same thing.

I’d like to now share a related word that Father gave me back on July 5, 2021.

WORD FROM FATHER - MESSAGE OF HOPE

My precious Doves, you who have a single eye, focused on Me, not only in your lives, but a heart wholly given over...I will send you out in flight to all the nations, that the token of true peace in the midst of chaos may be seen by all.

As I descended on My Son when He rose from the waters of baptism, so I will descend upon you, you who have risen in My might from the waters of the baptism of death into new life.

Just as your life has been sustained by My Spirit, so I will sustain you. I will shine upon you and you will declare My glory amongst the nations so that all will call upon Me in a time of need. For only in Me will they find true peace in a time of war and calamity.

Arise My Doves and come away with Me. Arise and shine with My glory that will come upon you.

You have given me your all, now I will give you all things in this time of great need. That you may be a comfort to My people, just as I have comforted you. That you may speak tenderly to them as I did to you. That you may rise with healing in your wings, as I rose over you.

So come My Doves, let us fly over the nations. Let us bring hope, faith and love amidst the darkest hour. I will bear you up with My wings, My Doves. I will be the wind beneath your wings. I will cause you to soar above the storms that the eyes of the blind may see and the deaf may hear and call upon Me.

The window of opportunity, only a small opening. But those who desire to be free to know My ways, will hearken.

So come and fly away with Me. A message of hope in a dark world where there will seem as if there is no hope at all, is what you will be.

Amen.

The other day, Father lead me to read 2 Chronicles 3 about Solomon building the temple. The Spirit came over me, and as I was reading He began speaking and gave me the word now titled “Greater than the Latter” (YouTube video). This was about the glory of the Lord that will greater in the time to come, because that One greater than Solomon will be here.

The Worker Bride are all builders, and we will build the Church with Him. This is just like the ark, which represents the Bride that brings in the animals, or the flock, into the ark of safety. She will bring them in. The ark was made of different woods, and cedar wood was one, which is actually the gopher wood that is spoken about. When Solomon made the temple, he made the pillars of cedar wood because of its durability, its length, and its ability to sustain harsh weather. These pillars represent endurance, durability, and strength, and of course being on the right hand.

A while back Father began speaking to me about the forum I had been involved with, and He guided me through a dream that He gave me that showed me I would be moving offices, so to speak.

MY DREAM – MOVING OFFICES

In this dream, I was packing up everything I had in my prayer room, including my art materials and books and other things. We were living on a farm, and I was going to move my office to an abandoned house on the property. When I walked into the house, there was dust everywhere and it was unkept, but there was nothing in there. But I then found two women in the scullery who were washing dishes. Someone was with me, who I believe represented the Holy Spirit. I then went to look for a room where I could put my things. End of dream.

Interpretation:

The Father was telling me that He was taking me away from where I had previously been ministering to people and would be taking me to a new place.

At the time of the dream I had no idea of what that new place was, but I knew to be obedient to what He was showing me. This was not an easy thing for me to do, because I had been involved with the people of this forum for almost five years and I love them very, very much. No longer being involved there was a death I had to enter into, but it was also a prophetic act of Him showing me that I would go from place to place, just as Yeshua said we would go from house to house, representing church to church. The other day I was speaking to the Lord about how He had told me He would be moving me to this new place but had not yet shown me where it is. Afterwards as I was going about my day, suddenly He reminded me of John 21 when He spoke to Peter the exact words He used when He told me I needed to go. This is in verse 15 when Peter came from the ship and sat down on the beach, and Yeshua was making them breakfast. He then asked Peter, “Do you love me more than these?”. When I read those words, I knew He was asking me if I loved Him more than those to whom I had been ministering. Of course, my answer was “yes”. My name is Pietra, a derivative of Peter, and I knew He was speaking to me, just as He is speaking the same to the church. The next thing He said to Peter was “Feed my lambs”. Then a second time He said, “Feed my sheep”, and even a third time, “Feed my sheep”. Each of these times He said this actually has different meanings. The lambs are a reference to the first fruits; they represent the Bride… who is innocent and unblemished. The place where I was ministering at that time were those types of workers, and I had been ministering to them for quite some time. He wasn’t saying to me at that time He moved me to feed His lambs, but instead He showed me that now where He is sending me is to feed His sheep. I had been feeding the lambs, but He is now sending me to feed the sheep. Remember that in Luke 10, Yeshua tells His disciples that He is sending them as lambs amongst the wolves, so the disciples, or the Worker Bride, are those lambs, the first fruits. They will be sent to the different churches, or houses, to where the sheep are… those who are lost. This is part of the imminence of the message He is bringing to us. He is saying that He is sending us out to the sheep, to minister to the churches. He is saying that the time is here when His dove will be taken, and once she is taken, His glory will be upon her and He will send her out to the churches.

Going back to the dream of me moving offices and seeing the two ladies in the scullery, I had a quick related vision just yesterday. I saw a dove come into my scullery and sit on my dishwasher. Immediately the Holy Spirit reminded me of this dream with the two ladies in this abandoned house that was so dusty. What He wanted to share with me is that the two ladies represent those who will be sent out two by two, and they are servants. In dreams, there is a difference between being in a kitchen verses a bathroom. The kitchen represents servanthood, and the bathroom represents sanctification. Once again just yesterday, He was showing me that the dove will rest upon those servants who will be cleaning the house of God getting rid of the foxes in the vineyard, or the house of God. They will tend to the figs and the vines, which is a reference to their children. Remember these servants are pillars, which also references foster fathers and mothers in the Strong’s concordance.

During this week as I was preparing this message, many people spoke to me about occupying and cleaning house with either a related dream or something physically happening. My friend Myha has had two dreams about a house being dusty, I had my dream about the abandoned house being dusty, and I remember that sister Donna had a dream about the dust that filled the church and the Bible. The church is asleep at the moment, represented by the dust, and He is sending in His servants to clean and to get rid of the things that need to be cleared out. They will speak with authority about the things that need to be cleaned up to help awaken the church and get them ready, because of the judgment that is coming. We are spiritual mothers and fathers sent to the churches. Let’s now read Luke 11 where Yeshua is speaking to the Pharisees about a house being cleaned.

LUKE 11

²⁴When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.

²⁵And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.

²⁶Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

²⁷And it came to pass, as he spake these things, a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, and said unto him, Blessed is the womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou hast sucked.

²⁸But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it.

Here He is talking about a house where an evil spirit is taken out. But the spirit comes back to find it swept and cleaned and no one is there, and it brings back in seven other spirits worse than itself. Then Yeshua ends in verse 28 with saying that those who hear the Word of God and keep it are blessed. Occupying the house is to hear the Word of God and keep it; we occupy by hearing and obeying. These blessed ones are those who are authentic and do what the Word of God says – not some of it, but all of it. Now we will look at verse 21 of Luke 11.

LUKE 11

²¹When a strong man armed keepeth his palace, his goods are in peace:

Here He is talking about a strong man who is in the house who keeps his palace and does this by hearing and obeying the Word of God. This strong man is walking in obedience, and his goods are safe and cannot be stolen. After this is when He begins to talk about the evil spirits leaving and coming back, because they have found it unoccupied. This “strong man” in the Strong’s means “strong, mighty, living beings, strong either in body or in mind, one who has strength of soul to withstand the attacks of satan, exhibiting many excellencies; of an inanimate thing, strong, violent, firm, and sure”. This strong man references the pillar, that Christian or Bride, who is able to come against the enemy because she walks and lives in obedience to the Word and she keeps it. She has grown and has become strong; she herself is a strong man, strong in both mind and spirit. The word “keepeth” means “to observe for oneself something to escape, to avoid, to shun, and flee from; to guard oneself for safety’s sake so as not to violate, to keep, to observe the precepts of the law”. This once again refers to hearing the Word and obeying it, and by that growth becoming a strong man that protects the palace – or your house. The church as a whole is one body, but the body has many members; or in the case many houses and a temple, as our body is a temple. Luke 21 tells us the following:

LUKE 21

³⁴And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.

³⁵For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.

³⁶Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

The day referred to in verse 34 is the day He will come. This will not come as a snare to the Bride as it will to the world and lukewarm church, for she will be watching and waiting with urgency in her heart. She will know that it can happen at any time, so she will actively watch and wait. The Spirit in her will cry out in mourning, and she will be a mourning dove. In verse 36, to be “accounted worthy” is to be deemed worthy by keeping our palaces as a strong man. “Account” means to “tally up, counting the cost, those who have not only counted the cost but paid the cost of following Him”. Psalm 45 says that she left her people and her father’s house. The Queen of Sheba, who represents the Queen of the South, left everything to go to Solomon to learn his wisdom. Let’s look more in Luke 11 about this.

LUKE 11

²²But when a stronger than he shall come upon him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his armour wherein he trusted, and divideth his spoils.

²³He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

Yeshua is speaking here about someone who comes into your house who is stronger than you and takes what you have, because you have not kept the Word. Everything of you is taken; they steal from you. He says that this is the reason you are spoiled… because you are not for Him. You think you are for Him but you are actually not, because you are divided. You are not completely His; you have still kept things from your life back from Him. The word “scattereth” is G4650 and it is the word “skorpizo”. It means “apparently the same from G4651; to dissipate, put to flight, waste, be liberal, disperse abroad, and scatter”. This says that you are not gathering in, you are not part of those who bring in souls, and you are not occupying until He comes. You are in your house doing your “Christian thing”, and you think you are right with Him, but you are not a strong man. The enemy is going to come, and he is going to spoil your house. He’s going to take from you, because you are not strong enough to endure. Because your heart is not perfect with Him, you are actually scattering. This Greek word “skorpizo” actually means scorpion, so this connects to the scorpions that will come into the church and be against the prophets of God and those who will be sent out.

Let’s also consider that Yeshua, as we read in Song of Solomon 2:15, is a hart, and this means a strong man and a pillar as well. Let’s look at this in context of what will happen when He is here and He leaves, as we see in Psalm 19.

PSALM 19

¹The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.

²Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.

³There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.

⁴Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

⁵Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

⁶His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.

Here we find the strong man as a bridegroom, and back in Luke 11:21 there is a strong man who protects his palace. This is also Yeshua protecting our palace and our heart. The reference to the sun coming out of his chamber in verse 5 is like in Song of Solomon when the day breaks and he comes forth. When the son comes and enters into the darkness, the darkness cannot overtake it, referencing John 1 where the light comes in with John the Baptist as a light pointing to the Light. This is the Bridegroom, again with all the imminency of His return.

Back in Luke 11:23 when He says, ^”He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth”, the word “gathereth” means “to fish, to bring into a house”. He is saying that there is no middle ground here… either you are gathering or you are scattering. When the house is found empty and unoccupied, that means not only are you not doing what is expected of you in obedience, you are also not bringing in souls. You are not ministering to people; you are not busy as a servant. Yeshua told us to occupy till He comes.

In Luke 19 Yeshua gives a parable right at the end of the chapter, and He is talking to the servants, or the workers. He gives them a parable where He gives the servants each 10 pounds, and this number means completeness. In other words, He has given more than enough to do what is needed. Each one did their own work to increase the 10 pounds, and based on what they did during this time of the harvest, they were given cities as a reward. The one who increased by 10 pounds had 10 cities, and the one who increased by five pounds had five cities. This is just how the workers will inherit the kingdom and rule and reign with Christ during the millennial reign. Apart from Him being their main reward, this will also be their reward. Prior to this parable, Yeshua speaks of His call, which is also our call.

LUKE 19

¹⁰For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost.

This scripture speaks of the lost sheep – not the lambs – but the sheep that need to be fed who have wandered off, who have not kept their palace, who have been compromising, and who have been ascribing to being something but not being the real thing. They are not truly in love, utterly and desperately in love, and they have not forsaken all for Him.

A few years ago I had two visions that I would like to share, as they hold hands with the dove. We read that the foundation of the dove, Jerusalem, will be sapphires. I received these two visions on May 2, 2021.

MY TWO VISIONS

The first vision was during my morning prayer. I saw a little boy of approximately 8 years old, sitting on the ground looking very dirty. He had black curly hair, a beautiful child. He looked poor and was lifting the edge of what looked to me like a square piece of sackcloth from the ground, as to carefully peek underneath it. And what he found was absolutely beautiful. It was a very huge blue sapphire. I would say about the size of a football. It was buried under the ground. End of vision.

Then I had another vision later in the afternoon, that of the front page of the “TIME” magazine. I knew that it was the “TIME” magazine because of the yellow outline. On this page was a picture of a little blond girl with ponytails. She was looking ahead of her. Very innocent and cute. But I think there was something different about her. The cute factor was not there, but a seriousness I would say. In big bold yellow letters the heading read: “WE ARE HERE.”

And then the same morning on my YouTube feed, one of these random videos came up of rescuers that rescued a girl of the same age, also with two ponytails, from out of a well.

Interpretation:

The poor boy and the two girls resemble the sons and daughters of God. The disposition of the children of God is that they are poor in spirit and innocent. They are in the dust and the sackcloth speaks of mourning and a humble attitude of heart, as well as the fact that the boy was sitting on the ground. The treasure that he found was “veiled” or hidden under the sackcloth. The “TIME” magazine is an indication of “timing” and the “WE ARE HERE” heading is saying, the TIME IS NOW for the manifestation of the Sons and Daughters of God.

We read about this in Romans 8, which for me is quite interesting that it says that the whole of creation is waiting for this manifestation. That means heaven and earth are waiting for this manifestation. This is not about just the rapture/escape taking place but that His glory will be manifest in His sons and daughters.

The blue sapphire is the treasure found. It is found in the ground, not on the ground. This speaks of the foundation being sapphire, just like the dove with her fair colors. Isaiah 54 says that her foundation of the New Jerusalem/Zion is laid with sapphires. This points to the Church being the foundation, and the workers in the Seals period will finish the foundation laid by the elders spoken of in Hebrews 11 and 12.

The Spirit kept prompting me to go back and read these visions, and of course now I understand why. We know now that this foundation has to do with sapphire. Let’s look now at the state of the current church, remembering that we’ve discussed that she is unoccupied, dusty, broken down, not doing what she is supposed to be doing, and she is lost. The church of the lost sheep is where we will be sent.

We find an example of this in Acts 5 when we read about Ananias and Sapphira. They came to Peter at the time when the church had all things in common, which means that everything they owned belonged to everyone. They shared everything, because everyone was in need and they were being persecuted. Because they shared everything, no one had need or want any longer. Ananias and Sapphira sold their land to contribute to the church, but they decided amongst themselves to keep some back and only give in part. When they came to Peter, the Holy Spirit revealed to him that they had lied by giving the impression they had given in full when they only had given in part. Peter told them that they had lied to the Spirit. What this tells us now is that the church in this state of poverty and brokenness, in contrast to the Bride, has not given all. They have lied not only to the Spirit, but they have lied to themselves. They convince themselves they are ready and are part of the true Bride and that Yeshua will come and get them. Because Ananias and Sapphira lied to the Spirit, judgment came over them. They were not truthful when the Holy Spirit convicted them. The name “Ananias” means “Jehovah has graciously given”, and “Sapphira” means “sapphire”. She represents the church that only gives in part, to whom the Worker Bride will be sent.

At one point, I realized that my Telegram account had 77 subscribers and I continued to see this number. It is a Greek word in the Strong’s that means “without cost”. That is no coincidence that my last devotional teaching was called “Counting the Cost”. This church is made up of those who have not counted the cost and were not willing to pay the cost, which is everything – absolutely everything. They were not willing, and they lie to themselves saying they have given all. They say and think they love Him with all their hearts, but they don’t. They still keep back; they still hold back and have not forsaken all to be His disciple. I also saw that my YouTube subscribers were at 392, and this is a Hebrew word in the Strong’s that means “to lie or deception”. These in the church have lied to the Holy Spirit and they have deceived themselves.

In my previous devotional “Counting the Cost”, I spoke about how the Father brings us to dust. I also spoke about Ecclesiastes 3 where Solomon prayed that man would know that without God they are as beasts; and just like the beasts die and return to dust, the same is true for us. During this week, I was listening to a song by a group of men, and it was absolutely amazing with beautiful voices bringing me to tears. As I turned the song off, the Spirit came over me and I started to cry and sob. I realized what I was crying about was man. This was in complete contrast of what I had spoken about in “Counting the Cost” where it is about becoming like dust and being as beasts without God. At the time of the song, the Spirit was showing me the cost that He paid when He lost Adam (man) to a lie. When He made Adam there in the garden, He said it was “very good”. His glory in that dust was very good! When the serpent came and lied, he stole from God; he stole His son. He broke the communication and took away the glory. He stole from God because of a lie, and this is why God hates lies. When we lie to the Spirit and we lie to ourselves, it causes many sons and daughters to be stolen from the Father. This is what the Bride and Workers will be doing… they will be going to get His sons and daughters. They will be ruthless with the enemy’s lies and deception. When I saw these men singing so beautifully, I was thinking how all of us were created for Him… every single person. When you see someone that is in satanism or is a homosexual or transvestite, and you see them suffering, you are seeing a son or daughter who was stolen from God. You see them stolen and broken by the enemy, and Father longs to bring them back. When God cried out to Adam in the garden asking where he was, we also see Christ on the cross asking the Father where He was and why had He forsaken Him. He entered into the dust of humanity and into this life in order to bring many sons and daughters back to the Father. The manifestation of the sons and daughters of God is not just about the great revival that will take place during the tribulation, but it is the return of that which He originally intended… the return of the prodigals. Like the parable of the prodigal the Father longs to run to them with kisses and take them out from the pigs, giving them a new robe, new shoes, a new ring, and a banquet. We as the elder brother will be rejoicing, instead of the other elder brother in the story who was more like a Pharisee. This is the heart of the Father… that we will go to the dusty house of the churches and bring His children back. There is no middle ground. “He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.” (Luke 11:23)

The Bride can honestly say, “My Beloved is mine, and I am His”. She is in covenant with Him where everything that she has and everything that she is – all of her – is His. What is hers is His and what is His is hers. She has paid the price by leaving everything, and she is utterly in love with Him. She longs and mourns for His return. Ask yourself if you are really longing and mourning for Him to return. She is watching and praying. She lives in truth and authenticity, and she worships Him in spirit and truth, because she and the Spirit are one.

I remember when Father started the sanctification process in my life. My aim and purpose was to be one with Him; that was my sole desire and was what drove me to give Him my all. It wasn’t so I would be accounted worthy to escape and be a worker or work for Him, but being a worker and a servant was the outflow of my union with Him. It’s not what I can do for Him but what He can do through me. When Yeshua prayed the high priestly prayer in John 17, He was praying that we would be one as He and the Father are one. Being one is that covenantal oneness where one soul is tied with the other in full union, so that when the Spirit cries out of us, it means that we are one with the Spirit. Whatever is in your house that is not fully given over or is still divided where there are still room in your house that you have not allowed Him to come and clean… this means you are still not completely one with Him. He desires to be a strong man in your house and occupy through you, so that together with the Spirit you are one voice. You hear the same thing, see the same thing, and speak the same thing.

The Bride has been baptized not just in water but in His death, a real felt death. She has truly entered into the baptism of death, and that is what the Jordan represents. She is also not hesitant, wondering if He will come and fetch her, and she is not unsure. What Bride knowing that her Bridegroom is coming will stand at the window and question and hope that He will come get her and not reject her? That is not the Bride of Yeshua, no! His Bride has come from a place of being unsure to knowing and expecting that He is coming to get her. This is not prideful; it is knowing how much He loves her. When you know how much someone loves you, you trust them. Not only do you prepare yourself, but you are expecting them. She is not unsure; she is watching and waiting, not out of fear but out of knowing. She is ready. When you are in the place where you don’t know if you are ready because you still have issues to deal with, remember that His eyes are roaming to and fro in search of those whose hearts are perfect towards Him. In other words, their whole being wants Him, cries out to Him, and is willing to pay the price. Whatever He shows them to do, they do it. They are in preparation the whole time; they are occupying by hearing His words and keeping them. Although it is a process and they may not be finished with their sanctification, it is because their hearts are perfect towards Him that makes them ready. They are watching and waiting.

The question is, are you ready? Is your heart perfect towards the One who is making it clear that very soon He is coming to get His dove? Are you as this dove mourning for His return, because you long to see His face… not because you want to leave earth, but because you want to be with Him? Are you that dove who is so in love with Him that every moment is about Him?

I will now end with a prayer:

Father I thank you for this message. I pray that you will deeply work in the hearts of every person who listens to and reads this message. We can become so busy with your work that we neglect you, and we constitute this as the whole when we are really only giving part. Just because we are busy with your works does not mean that we are in love with you. Help us to make that distinction, and help us to be willing to pay the price and occupy. Help us to cry out and mourn for you to return, because we can’t wait to see you. I pray this in the name of Yeshua. Amen.
