Shalom from
Jerusalem!
Through a great miracle, God
made the way for me to be able to go to Alabama for
Pastor Shelley's campmeeting. I shared and led
worship for a small tour of intercessors in
Jerusalem and they gave me a personal offering
equal to the price of an air ticket! Three days
later I was in Alabama! God is
amazing!
It was a
very special campmeeting - full of revelation and the
Presence of God! Special guest, Paul Keith Davis, lifted
us to a new height with a deeper understanding
of our spiritual inheritance that is available now for
us to walk in.
Pastor
Shelley shared an awesome experience he had
with a White Eagle the night before the
campmeeting started. His preaching was powerful as
he expounded on the implications of this
visitation! I hope to share about this visitation
soon in the next update.
In this
update, I feel the urgency to tell you about a
tremendous visitation that Pastor Shelley
had with an angel several weeks ago. Here
are excerpts of what he related to his local
congregation on June 30th:
Appearance of the Pillar of
Fire
While driving home from
working out on Monday, June 25, 2007, there was a
bright Light that entered the cab of my small
truck.
It came in from the right side
and hung in the center of the windshield. It came
in with a swishing sound and eventually left with the
same sound. It looked very much like the
Pillar of Fire that used to be seen in our services in
the early 90's.
It was
amber in color and
almost 24 inches
long. It was in no way a reflection.
It hung in mid-air, approximately 18 inches away
from the windshield, which put it almost against my
right cheek.
I was
quite blinded by the brightness and
shook almost violently from the
manifested Presence that accompanied this
visitation.
I then
pulled the truck off onto the right shoulder of the
road, making sure to pull far enough off to be safe from
any passing cars. But in the 20 minutes that I was
there, as I recall, not one single car passed in either
direction.
Angel Appears in the Passenger
Seat
Suddenly, next to me in the passenger
seat of the truck, appeared an angel who had
the appearance of a man. His garment was covered
with small licks of Fire giving it the appearance of a
robe of
Fire.
I
could see that it was separate licks, separate flames.
But as it moved, it looked like almost the whole
robe was on Fire. It was
unbelievable.
I’ve never seen this angel before. He
turned and looked at me and smiled a knowing and
compassionate smile. He then said, "Your
prayers have been heard." That’s a good
thing to hear from an angel.
A Strong Angel Is On the
Way
"Your prayers have been heard.
And I am sent to tell you that a strong angel is on the
way." (I thought this one was
strong aplenty.) But he said, "I am sent to tell
you that a strong angel is on the way to deal with principalities that have
taken up position over some of your people to hold them
back, to keep them from the fullness of their
ministries."
Hallelujah.
He
then said that many strongholds will also be
broken and that a new liberty
will be added to those who are set free by the Sword of
the Lord. That’s a good thing.
He
then spoke briefly about several in our local
congregation and their coming
deliverance, which I have promised that I
will not speak about until I know that the strong angel
has come. I’m not going to talk about
it.
He then said, "When he
comes, he will deal with many other strongholds and principalities
over the state of Alabama. There will be
noticeable shifts and new levels of authority that will
be released upon those that have been
appointed.
"He will place a mark upon those who
are sighing and crying."
Does anybody remember a Word the Lord gave us
many years ago about the Angel in
Linen, who was an inkhorn rider that would come
and put the mark on those who were sighing and
crying? That means calling out in seriousness
and desperation. This is
serious.
I want
you to listen carefully. If you’ve not been
stretched already by an angel with flames of Fire on his
clothes, you’ve got to hear this.
The Spirit of Saura
As
soon as he spoke those words, something moved
across the hood of the truck. I did not
want to look away from the angel. I was turned
towards him.
The angel was as real and more
real than you are. I didn’t dare do
it, but I felt like if I would have reached out and took
his hand, that it would have been a hand -not like in a
movie.
You
know, in the movie when they show things like that, if
you touch them, your hand goes right through them.
I don’t know what you call that, but you know what I
mean? They have an appearance, but no substance
- like an apparition or something like
that.
But
this angel was so real and so . . . Well, I’ll
just tell you this. When he shifted, the
truck moved. So if it was just a vapor, I
don’t see how a vapor could move the truck. My
truck is little enough and has the right suspension
so when that
angel shifted in his seat, just like you would if you
were tired of sitting in one position, the cab of the
truck moved. So I’m just telling you that to tell
you that it wasn’t a vision. I
didn’t see a vision. I didn’t have a vision.
It was that real.
I
didn’t want to turn and look away from the
angel, but he gave me a nod, indicating that I
should look. And when I did, one of the largest lizards that I’ve ever
seen in my life was looking right in the windshield at
us.
I’m telling you what. Even in the
presence of that angel, I nearly came out of my
skin. My heart pounded in my chest till I
thought my breath would be cut off.
It was not in the natural because a
lizard of this size would not be indigenous to the
United States. Most of its body
covered most of the hood of the truck, and its
tongue was darting in and out. Behind its head was
like a hood of flesh. And it was covered with
spiny skin. And it was clearly
angry.
The angel looked directly at me.
I looked back at the angel.
He looked directly at me and he said,
"Speak to it."
I
answered that I was not sure what to
speak. I said, "I don’t know for sure what I am to
speak. I don’t know who I’m speaking
to. I don’t know what this
is."
This
is where it gets really big. He answered that I
should take authority over the spirit of
"saura." And as far as I know, in
my life I’ve never heard that word. If I have, I
surely don’t recall it.
I
cannot remember ever seeing or hearing this word
before, but I rebuked the
spirit by name, with authority. And this lizard or
dragon-like thing flinched when I spoke to
it.
Then
for a few quick seconds it was transformed into a
large evil-looking dark-colored
snake. Then there was a flash of
light.
I’m sitting in broad daylight on the side of
the road. I’m not in a dream, I’m not asleep,
and I’m not having a vision.
There was a flash of light and what
looked like a fire - the Pillar of Fire
still hanging here, the angel still sitting here.
And all of a sudden as that flash came, it just
exploded into nothing like little
particles. It just vanished, just
totally exploded out of the way.
The
only thing that the angel said to me after that . .
. I mean, I expected him to pat me on the back and
tell me what a wonderful job I did. This was a
powerful feeling.
He
looked at me like this. He said,
"Good," and nodded his
head.
Well, immediately I thought about Bob Jones.
How many times I’ve heard Bob Jones say something
like that. When he’s praying over something,
releasing something, he’ll say, "Good. Good.
Good."
The
angel responded just that way
- "Good."
The angel
then gave him a prophetic Word to give
to Paul Keith and Wanda Davis concerning an increase in
revelation, their ministry and financial
support.
Answers On the Way
I then
thought of several questions that I wanted to
ask the angel - some about what he said
concerning Paul Keith and Wanda, some about the conversation
that we had had about situations in this church and
ministry, etc.
But he
must have discerned my thoughts because before I could ask a
question, he said, "When this strong angel
comes, all the answers will
come much quicker than they do
now."
He
then faded from my sight,
and
the Pillar of Fire that had hung there
the entire time moved out the right side of the truck
with a swishing sound.
About
"Saura"
In researching the name "saura,"
it was discovered that it is the feminine form
of the word "lizard." The word "dinosaur"
comes from the same root. This name has
been used in different ways down through history
even to powerful dragon-like beasts
of ancient times.
Bob Jones told Pastor Shelley that "saura" means
"witchcraft" and represents the
occult and counterfeit which is
going on in the soulish realm.
The true supernatural operates in the spirit
realm.
And Bob said that God let Pastor Shelley see that
spirit because He's giving him
and the Body standing with
him, authority over
it.
That very
day, Bob's wife, Bonnie, had gotten a Word from the
Lord that the seven Spirits of God were
being released in the earth to take back the
power that's operating out of the soulish
realm, which really belongs to God and should
be operating in the spirit man. Hallelujah!
Pastor Shelley is
preparing to speak soon in greater depth concerning
this "saura" spirit and the far-reaching
effects that it has possibly had
over many regions and
nations.
Pastor Shelley Spoke in Red Deer,
Canada
Pastor
Shelley just returned from being one of the
speakers for the "Rivers of God's Love
Conference" in Red Deer,
Alberta, Canada, sponsored by Peter and
Cathryn Nash's ministry, Frontline Worship Centre,
July 29 - August 4. Other
speakers included Todd Bentley, Paul Keith Davis and
Randy DeMain. Several of us in Alabama were
blessed to be able to watch the conference by the live
webcast.
It was a
powerful conference with many people who had
been wounded from being abused in
some way in their past getting gloriously
delivered and set free in response to prayer
from a Word of knowledge that Paul Keith Davis
gave.
Pastor
Shelley then preached a special anointed message about
bringing forth the proof of our intimacy with
our Bridegroom. He was especially blessed
to be able to minister prophetically and impart an
anointing to each of the many young people attending the
conference.
In Closing
It's that
time again! Our
quarterly rent is due on August
15th! We still need a lot to be
able to pay it.
The Lord
gave Pastor Shelley a clear Word that He would
continually provide for us to maintain our base of
worship, prophetic declaration and the release of His
Word and revelation from Jerusalem. God
uses your faithfulness to help us fulfill this
Jerusalem mandate!
If you would be able to help us
financially, we would appreciate it so
much! Perhaps God would
speak to your heart to donate online today so
that we can use the money right away to pay the
rent and keep a good testimony with our Jewish
landlord!
We believe
this ministry is a good Kingdom
investment, allowing you to share with us the
thrill of plowing new
spiritual ground for these End
days.
(Mat
13:41)
The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and
they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that
offend, and them which do
iniquity;
(Mat 13:42) And shall cast
them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and
gnashing of teeth.
(Mat 13:43) Then shall the righteous shine
forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who
hath ears to hear, let him
hear.
May the Lord send
you His strong angel to deal with
principalities and strongholds that are trying to
hold you back from the fulfillment of your
destiny!
Blessings from
Jerusalem!
