Sons of Issachar

Prophetic Word Dec2014-for the coming year(s)

This Prophetic Teaching was given at a prophetic Conference held in December of 2014.
I expounded on it a bit further and brought in some other points, but This Word of The Lord is From Ken Peters of The Gathering Church in Corona, Ca. 

The Central Coast and those in the surrounding areas, but especially Santa Maria, are to become the Sons of Issachar. Now Issachar means one who will bring a reward, and he will make that which needs to be maintained a benefit.

Gen49:14,15Issachar is a strong ass couching down between two burdens:

15 And he saw that rest was good, and the land that it was pleasant; and bowed his shoulder to bear, and became a servant unto tribute.

           Now when we look at this, we see that Issachar was going to be a beast of Burden, and would carry specific burdens. Remember the Ox and Ass, or the Apostle and the Prophet. Jesus was an ox (Apostle) and he came riding on a donkey (Prophet-John) and when we look at Issachar (a strong ass-a prophet) he was going to carry a King and Plow a field. These, are the burdens that the Donkey (prophet) would bear.

           We must begin to build a New Testament Temple, the Tabernacle of David. This Temple needs all the Furnishings-this is going to be for those with a mind for the prophetic to search out and find what these things are (the furnishings), and what their spiritual implications mean in this New Building. (I am not going to give them to you, for true Sons will search them out to find it themselves.) For the one who plows the field is the one who is given the field, and we have been given this field, and the way that we will plow it, is through the prophetic. Remember that Issachar was a strong ass (Prophet).

           God is going to start to use Prophets to give words to those that are faithful and correction to those that are not. In addition, those who think they are prophets BUT spend very little or minimal time in The WORD, and Prayer are operating in a different spirit. For you cannot Prophesy without the Word of God in you and prayer. Therefore, those who think they are prophets, First have a responsibility to “CHECK” themselves, and then bring an adjustment to their own lives before they even think to bring an adjustment to others. There will be some that say, “I prophesy by faith.” HOWEVER, Faith is a by-product of The Word of God, Prayer, for faith comes by hearing, and hearing comes by the Word of God. Then, there is a releasing of what you have heard in prayer back to the Father to get the Revelation to Prophesy.

           Now to bow your shoulder means to (Intercede), and this is what Issachar did between two burdens. In addition, Elijah, which was a much-anointed prophet, was not known in the New Testament as a Prophet, but as one that Prayed Fervently.

It is not enough to prophesy, its a time of prayer.

1Chr12:32 And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their commandment.

           So then, these prophets or Sons of Issachar are going to be, if we believe the word of the Prophet, those that are going to have an understanding of the end times, and they will have Specific Strategies on what Israel (the Church, Believers) are to do. The meaning of the word Sons means, ones that follow in the same footsteps, i.e. son of David would walk in the footsteps of David. Son also in the Hebrew means one that is going to build, or a builder of the Family Name.

           We are in a time of transitioning from words of “Fluff,” such as “I see prosperity coming to you, breakthrough is coming, Deliverance is on its way, and God wants to heal you.” As believers, we should know these things already, without some “Prophet,” telling us that they are coming. It is time for Prophets to begin to give Specific Direction, and Instruction to the Body, for we are to “DO, the WORD OF GOD,” and this includes Prophecy.

Prophecy should be something we do to enter into,

obtaining and pulling out

 the Promise of The Word from the dimension of The Spirit.

           It is First the Natural, and then the Spiritual. V.A.F.B. protects the natural, Santa Maria is also known for its Agriculture and Oil fields, and thus we are the breadbasket spiritually for the Nations. Moreover, when we look at these we can see we have the Breadbasket, The Oil of Anointing, and the Protection,

These sons of Issachar knew what Israel ought to do. 1Chr12 David's mighty men, search out these men, and their tribes.

           We have to be able to move into what God is going to do NOW! We have to be able to execute. It is not enough to know, you have to be able to execute. We cannot stay in the Old Order, if there is No Prophet in a body (Church) you are at, then, where are they getting their direction from, an Administrator. Knowing and understanding our Critical Elements for forward movement. You can’t move forward if your looking back, and The Old order can’t identify who you are.

Prophetic Word, “If you do not give my people what they are suppose to have from The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit I will open the sheep gate. See there should be a Three Dimensional Flow coming into the Body.

           We are Issachar and we have to see it all prophetically. We are strong beasts moving the Kingdom Forward, and know what Rest Produces in the Kingdom. This is the generation where years will take months and what takes months will take weeks. Issachar people are those of Vision for the land and of the Land, those who bear the burden in Intercession, those who become servants not celebrities. We are those who do the Work for the Master, and rejoice in the tents of worship. We are those who call people to the mountains, the high places of God.

Issachar people challenge you to come to a higher place, they take one scripture and expound on it, bringing you Fresh revelation and a Hunger to find your OWN!

A Prophetic Year 2015

A Prophetic Year 2015

We are coming into seasons, when Church Leaders will trust in their prophets and bring about a greater success in the Midst of the Body. For the truth that comes from the Prophetic Word, will bring about direct effects on the Spirit of the lives of those who not only hold on to, but also develop the Prophetic Words that have been spoken on them. They will cultivate their minds to receive, their hearts to conceive and their Spirit has to birth that which is intended for their destiny. For the measure of the anointing that is being transferred through The Prophetic, will give you Great MOMENTUM for this coming year.

For if, you will trust the Prophets of God, then you will walk in great success. For the breath of God will usher into us in these next 40 days Great Spiritual Experiences, that can bring you into realm of the Kingdom. For if, you will not reduce the word to the mere analytical mind of your own thoughts, then you will experience the Fruit that will be birthed from that Word. We must adjust our prayers and decrees with what we know God is going to do, for HE is working to draw us into what he is currently doing. He is looking for a people who will hear, and then not just adjust their walk, but adjust their own words with what he has said, then your walk will align with what you are saying, as you hear him speak and align your mouth with what you hear.

A principal in the midst of us is far above all others, a priority so to speak, of our life. We must be worshippers, those that MINISTER NOT TO OTHERS, NOT TO THE CHURCH, BUT UNTO THE LORD Himself. See, you can live off the corporate experience that you receive every Sunday Morning, but we must be those that want to do more then merely live, for you will not excel unless there is an intimate individual time. Revelation is the Child of the intellectual intercourse with The Father, in your alone time. See True Intimacy will produce revelation, and we must be able to know within our own selves that we know The Way into the Throne Room of Intimacy without the help of any others. This is your Intimate Worship, when we can come in alone, and leave filled with Him. When we as individuals can have our own encounters, excluded from the regular gathering times, it is then, that we can come together already filled, and not expecting to be filled, it is then that when we come together that the corporate Glory will begin to flow from out of what we have done as individuals in our own time.

When we can come into this place, we will be those that are hidden by The Lord, and when he hides you, he does not hide you from out of the view of others, but out of their reach. He hides you high atop The Rock; preparing a table for you in the Midst of your enemies, for you will feast right in the middle of those that are against you, partaking of what The Lord has given to you, for all to see. See we have entered into that Realm of Presence, where we are untouchable, but at the same time, able to be seen. Spiritual Experiences are when people say what The Lord is saying, leading you to The Way of your own Experiences; when YOU begin to decree what you have heard him say.

The Bride(STILL in Days of Acceleration)

We as the Bride of Christ are coming into seasons

 of preparation;

specific spiritual things that must be laid upon us

 

in order for us to be presented to The King

 

 

The spiritual Bath Mikveh-The bridal “Shower,” so to speak, is not of the uncleanness of the person, but truly about us encountering and experiencing the Power of The Holy. There are places in which the Word of God prescribes immersions, not only for women, but also for men into these "Spiritual Baths." We must also understand that these are no longer ritualistic performances that have set ways in which we must do them. For we have passed over from those things that are Natural, into a Spiritual realm, even though we ourselves are still natural beings.

Here are some prescriptions that were given in The Old Testament for the Spiritual Bath. 

The scribe who works on a Torah scroll or(the believer who finds himself studying in the Word of God), must first immerse himself before writing God's name(we can say there must come a time of JUST reading The Word before we write out anything we want to study). ALL Converts are required to immerse themselves in the mikveh, marking their rebirth as members of the people of Israel(Baptism which makes us The Spiritual Israel as paul states when he declares circumcision is of the HEART and not the outer flesh). Also, some men and women, in preparation to become "dead" to past sins and begin the year with a pure heart, immersing themselves in this “Spiritual Bath.”

Now, a Spiritual Bath, or the mikveh as the Jews say, is a physical enactment, and a private transforming moment. A mikveh is any body of mayim hayim, literally, "living water,"(Jer2:13). So then, with this given, I would search out verses that have the Words "Living Water," in them, and see what The Lord says your Spiritual Bath is to be for this coming year.

Esther(a secret, hidden amongst the myrtle trees) prepared herself with months of treatments before she was presented to the King, calling for a time of sacrifice with prayer and fasting. It is through this that The King attended to her cry, the decree was changed, and the enemy’s plots exposed.

We are coming into specific seasons, where pieces of the Book of Esther will begin to unfold and release prophetic movements into The Body of Christ, Now! The Lord is preparing Modern Day Mordecai’s who have God’s heart, a spirit of adoption, to prepare Esther, (the Bride of Christ) “for such a time as this.”
The Holy Spirit has been searching for who will be chosen by the King, those of us who sense the “pleasure of the Lord” and where this presence rests. for we are still in “Days of Acceleration,” and we must move when we sense the Momentum of God moving. Prophetic Govt’s must be released in the times of our corporate worship to sense where the Lord is going, and what we are to do once we get there (this does not mean the pastor taking or assuming all 5 offices. We can no longer have just one finger that points, but we need every finger, every office in a different person to form a HAND in order to grasp what The Lord is doing). This must happen, in order for the Church to move forward with the momentum of the Lord through these “Days of Acceleration.” For there are specific things we must do in order to be propelled forward.This will release the Holy Spirit’s fresh oil upon our works, words, and giftedness, speeding up open doors that have been closed and bringing closure to things of the past. God’s presence will release favor upon chosen vessels, and the purposes of God will accelerate at a rapid speed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Prophetic VISION

REVELATION GIFTING'S 

WITHIN THE BODY

        We must have the Prophetic Vision to “SEE” gifting’s in people(The Church) who are coming into a season of being "released from their caves." These will emerge with a new zeal and fire through the completion of spiritual phases in their development; they “learned” the lessons needed to move up Higher. They will be connected to The Spirit in a way as never before, producing new prophetic flows with more spiritual intensity in the realms of The Prophetic. There will be Greater seasons of building prophetic relationships, as strategic assignments are entrusted. These assignments will come with an anointed "shift," meaning an influx of prophetic awareness will ignite a stir of the Holy Spirit, because the Spirit will be "pulling those who have believed" to the next level, Holy Ghost constructed fellowships. God is infiltrating fellowships with one cause, an "uneasiness" in comfort. "Light" will shift in the lives of individuals where true friendship builds HIS DIRECTION through The Spirit. 

The Two are ONE

The Holy Spirit is beginning to set up strategic passages that He has carved for the body to move through. These Living river currents will be opened up and received by those who are Pressing into it. Doors will open within the realms of the Spirit! We must have a clear cut ear to hear the right direction that we must go, for not all prophetic moves or words have there beginnings IN HIM.  

There is an Anointing being placed upon The Family, to reposition, and place them in the proper order, helping them to walk into the Destiny for their own Household. This repositioning  will occur as the Prophetic begins to breakout within the homes of Disciples. The Holy Spirit will move on the family to reveal the unfolding of what HE has ordained husbands and wives to be; a Unit in the midst of The Body. We see a glimpse of it in Hos2:1

Hos2:1 Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.

We have to see this as Brothers(Ammi) and Sisters(Ruhamah) in the Lord. See this is where the strategy of The Spirit is found, for when a brother(Ammi) and sister(Ruhamah) in the Lord marry, the Two Become ONE. So then we now have “Ammi-Ruhamah,” which interpreted is Ammi-My people, and Ruhamah-Have obtained mercy. When the two become one we have “My people have obtained Mercy,” this is why it is so crucial for Husbands and wives in the Lord to walk together in UNITY!

It is this revelation that will shift husbands and wives to seek out the perfect will of God for their lives. Both will come to agreement with God's process and where He desires to take them. It is this oneness that will shift their personal lives, bringing in a time of testing the ability to see the relationship as God sees it; blessed unions.

 

Obedience Conference.

Obedience Conference

Our GOD is the only one that is GOOD all the time

No One is GOOD but the FATHER only.

Jesus was The firstfruit of a New breed that was about to come full force to the earth; "Disciples of Help". These are now being conceived to bring an anointed assistance with and by The Spirit; they are the "Helper's Breed." 

Many Leaders (pastors) will be threatened by these helpers of The Spirit, communing within themselves that their own pastoral shine will diminish. The insecurities of their own heart will counsel them that they have arrived to tear down what has already been built, just as the pharisees did in the time of Christ. In essence, these anointed helpers are only there to bring what The Lord is currently releasing in the form of Fresh revelation, mingled with New Prophetic Direction for specific bodies.

This, "new breed," is being set up for a specific purpose in believers gatherings all around the world. The spiritual basis for their current conception is being found in the scripture pouring itself out into the earth; have an ear to hear what the Spirit is doing now! 

When the birthing takes place, they will bring about an understandable hearing that gives prophetic direction to do! This helpers anointing, is mantled over them like a swaddling cloth, from the conception of The Spirit; the Ultimate Helper. They will not be positioned to teach you how to do, but will manifest what to do, you will have to decide whether or not you want to do!

Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of Hearing the Words of the LORD:

There is a Famine of the HEARING of the Word of the Lord, for the Word of the Lord is The Spirit's word concerning the Word of God, it's the literal Logos, The Written Word. Those that can hear this Word flowing in the midst of the river have been born from out of the river, born of water and The Spirit; the Spiritual Word. Spiritual Moses'.

John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 

At this present moment, God’s word is everywhere, and in any translation or version you would like. You can take hold of this treasure any time, from an App on your phone, to an e-book for your nook, but, the famine is not in the availability of The Word of God, it's in the hearing. The Intelligent understanding that enables the believer to perform the Word of the Spirit. See, the Word of GOD is able to recognize the intentions and motivations of the heart; the Word can see what the heart is thinking. This is why the hearing must become the substructure of what we build our Spiritual lives upon; its crucial to our survival. If we can hear, and then consequently do obediently that which we have read and heard, the Word will discern that the motives and intentions of our Prayers, will not be spent on our selfish desires. 

The Bible says that the most deceitful thing in us, besides the tongue, is our heart. Our heart is the basis upon which our tongues speak, for it is out of the abundance of the heart that the mouth will...This is why we so need the Word of GOD to bring guidance to our hearts.

We must understand the Word of GOD

 AND

have a teachable Spirit, 
not thinking within ourselves that because we have a title or position, we have attained. 

John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

Deut 29:29 The secret things belong unto the LORD our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.

We are coming into a TIME of Revealing, and The Helper's Breed will manifest what is being revealed in Vision.

Josh 1:8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Everything in The Word of GOD matters!

The hour to seek the Word of the Lord is now. Have an understanding, and take hold of the right direction for your life. The destiny that has been created is already lying before you; now walk in the appointed place that you hear from The Lord.

1 John 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. 

Jer 18:1,2 The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying, Arise, and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words. 

Stepping Stones of Identity

Stepping Stones of Identity

So many times, we often struggle to find our Identity in Christ, who are we and more important, who are we to be?  Of course, we know the automatic answers that we often give as believers, we say things like "I am a child of The Most High, I am the beloved in Christ, I'm the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus." 

But specifically, who are you IN CHRIST. I know that most of us might think we know, especially if you're already a Pastor, with a congregation, this is your gift and calling. But what about the rest of us?
I was speaking to a prophet on this subject during a recent men's group and he had said it took him over a decade to Recognize that the gift he was operating in was actually the mantle of His calling.

So then, what is your gift, and how does this specifically run along side with your calling, and how do these two function together in the midst of the corporate body, along with the operation of them in your everyday life.

We recently had a Men's group and with the input of others , I came up with this short little lesson that I am going to share with you, hopefully it can help you answer some of these questions with the Leading of The Holy Spirit.

Stepping Stones to Identity

Prayer-that ALL would come into their Biblical Identity, being drawn in spiritually because of a hunger for what The Lord is doing. "We Want More, LORD!"

The Lord is guiding us to the point that we would reflect less of Who we are

and More of Who HE is IN us. 

We are becoming Spiritual Mirrors that catch HIS Glory 

and reflect it into The World.

Prayer-That The Spirit would reveal Who you are and prompt you to be more in tune with hearing HIM. You can only truly know who you are by Hearing Him, and then acknowledging what you heard, by DOING IT!! We would miss everything if we couldn't hear who we are, and who we are to be. Once we have heard, we have the responsibility to accept who it is that we are. For it is in this acceptance of our Personal Identity, that the directions, words, and decisions we make will flow, they flow from this starting place. 

You have to get rid of who others think you are, especially if it doesn't fall in line with Who You Know The LORD says you ARE!

You must EXERT FAITH in the pursuit of The Lord, finding your Destiny In HIM!

Who are you? Be specific-Who has God called you to be, not only in your own right as an individual believer, but also as a member of the Body of Christ? If you have no idea, right now is the time for the tugging, you must come into the presence, and tug on The Spirit, ask HIM to give you your biblical Identity, ask HIM to give you your New NAME. Throughout the scriptures we see God's people receiving a name change from the Lord, Abram became Abraham, Sarai became Sarah, Hoshea or Oshea was now Joshua, even our Lord received a name change, for he was to be called Immanuel which at birth came to be Jesus. You see, HE calls all his Sheep BY NAME, HE calls them by there Biblical Honor, their Kingdom Authority and Their Heavenly Character.


NOW, who are you to be? Realize that from the previous answer you gave, that this is just a Stepping Stone of Identity, the foundation of who you are to be being laid in Christ. Now go, and build even further from this first foundation stone of identity, for this is the Spiritual House(YOU) that is to be built(currently doing), like a man building his house upon the rock. There is a building that is to be currently taking place, a building that The Spirit is doing IN YOU, upon the foundation, which is Christ, The Corner Stone upon which every other stone fits. 

You have to watch what your heart is established in, for this becomes your mindset and the things that you repeat. 

YOU have to Habitually Re-pattern ourselves.

So now, who are you not? This is a very important factor, for when you know who you are, you can cast aside all other voices that say who they think you are. You can throw aside even your own thoughts which try to remind you of the past person you used to be. So, Who are you not?



In the midst of your New Identity and the Spiritual Realization of it is where your Provision lies. This PRO-VISION is not only for you, but also your family. See, we all have an appetite, and love to eat our own favorite foods which our taste buds enjoy. When we look at this spiritually, we will see that the daily manna we receive will be established by what we feed ourselves. This then is what The Father will send to us.

What does it mean to bring your family Pro-Vision?


And what does it mean to bring it in the midst of who you are? 


example-if God has called you to be a worshiper(remember that this can change with the seasons and timings you are currently in), but, if this is currently the case, then your pro-vision will first flow from out of this aspect of Worship. Are you currently flowing in the prophetic, so then, this too, is the place where your pro-vision will flow from; it will come from the flow of the Prophetic. 

You also have to understand that your pro-vision is not just going to be in this one arena of Spiritual Callings and Gifting's, but at the same time, this is the place where your founding pro-vision (foundation provided) will be from, and the rest of the building will come from this founding. 

Here are a couple of examples of what I call Identity Stones:
A new brother in the Lord had been reading his daily devotional, and it had to do with "Waiting on The Lord." Later that day, he was driving home from work, and while remembering the devotion, a car pulled in front of him and nearly hit him; he almost got into a wreck. It was at this time that he realized, that everything had lined up with the "Timing of The Lord," as he waited on GOD. When he came to share this testimony, we saw that his "First Stone" that the Lord was setting up was a "Timing Stone," and everything that He was going to build was going to start with this "First Stone," for everything was going to be in HIS(The Lord's) Timing. 
Another brother of mine, kept getting songs in his head, with the chords to them as well, but he kept putting off writing them down, not sure what to do. I told him to get a journal and begin to write them down. After a bit, he finally got a Journal, and then I shared that His "First Stone" was going to be a "Faith Stone." For it was this step that he needed to take, as he wrote down what he was hearing, see it was going to take faith to bring it forth. These are just a few examples of What the Lord is currently doing, as he sets up Stepping stones of Identity. 


Write your Identity Stone(s) here and begin to ask The Spirit how to build on them, also keep a watchful eye on additional stones that The Spirit will set up and join to your current foundation stone(s)
