Prophetic Words & Scripture Readings at Live Stream on December 2, 2020

Scripture Reading at beginning of meeting Luke 21:34-36 - "Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life and that Day catch you by surprise like a trap.  For that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth.  Be vigilante at all times and pray that you may have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man."

Vision/Prophecy:  I had an image of Jesus on the cross.  And basically his words were, "I love you this much."

As we were singing, "I need you", it was just overwhelming for me how much we need him and just a sense that "now is overlasting."

Scripture Reading Psalm 91:1-8 - "Security Under God's Protection.  You who dwell in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in the shade of the Almighty, say to the Lord, "My refuge and fortress, my God in whom I trust."  He will rescue you from the fowler's snare, from the destroying plague.  He will shelter you with his pinions, and under his you may take refuge; his faithfulness is a protecting shield.  You shall not fear the terror of the night nor the arrow that flies by day, nor the pestilence that roams in darkness, nor the plague that ravages at noon.  Though a thousand fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, near you it shall not come.  You need simply watch; the punishment of the wicked you will see."

Prophecy:  I kept getting the word "Shalom".  "Shalom, my people, shalom.  I am coming to bring a peace beyond your understanding.  Shalom.  You must forgive, my people, you must forgive.  With forgiveness comes a peace that will be beyond any understanding.  Shalom."

Scripture Reading Philippians 4:13 - "I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me."

Scripture Reading Isaiah 41:10 - "Fear not, I am with you; be not dismayed; I am your God.  I will strengthen you, and help you, and uphold you with my right hand of justice."

Prophecy:  What came to me was a question, "What do you desire?"  And it was like the Lord was speaking and he was saying, "Do you desire me?"  And the other thought that came to me was to prepare your hearts.  Sorry, I should have added the word, "Advent".  "What do you desire?" and "Do you desire me this Advent?" and "Prepare your hearts."

Word of Knowledge:  "Just a sense I've been getting is that the people of God during these COVID 19 days are praying more for the conversion of souls and just trying to get closer to Christ and the effect it's having is that hearts are being softened and the more we pray, more hearts will be softened and that more people will come back to the Lord."

Prophecy:  "Come, come, my people, I come to bless you.  I've come to indulge myself with you, to embrace you, to give you a wholehearted hug, a wholehearted joy of myself given to you.  I  will come even more and more.  I come because you are my heart, you are my soul, you are my love to my people, my dear people that I lost.  Looking for a smile at them.  Reach out your hands to them and smile.  Give them a kind word.  I will give you the word at the moment.  Give them the word that I am giving you because they need me, they need me to be with them.  Come, my dearest children, come.  I love you so dearly.  Spend time with me.  Spend lots of time with me because I  enjoy being with you all.  I enjoy being with you, my children, my dearest children.  Come.  You are my joy.  You are my heart.  You are my love.  Come, come, my dearest, come."

Teaching

Joseph gave a teaching on "Relationships".  Trinity.  Matt 3:16-17  Baptism of Jesus - "This is my beloved Son.  I listen to his voice."  Here we have the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit together.  Perfect relationship.  In John 17:21-26, Jesus' prayer was, "So they may be all one, as you, Father, are in me and I in you, that they also may be in us."  Holy Family had difficult times.  We have our own difficulties. Growing up,  Joe felt he was not heard in his family.  Later on in life, after reading "The Healing of Memories" by the Linn Bros. and prayer, his father came to his memory when Joe pondered the question of the need of forgiving someone.  One of the questions in the book, "Do you think Jesus loved your father?"   Joe asked for forgiveness for harbouring this grudge.  He felt deep remorse and at the same time, he felt that his father was released from pergatory.  Later on in life, Joe and his teenage daughter clashed.  He asked the Lord what to do.  The Lord told him to write her a letter.  The next morning, her attitude was changed.  Then the Lord told him to spend time with her.  After three months, they were able to have a conversation.  The Lord healed the relationship.  In Acts 4:32-35, the early Christian community was united heart and soul and they testified to the resurrection of the Lord with great power.  When we are of one mind and of one heart, then Jesus can work; that's when you see signs and wonders.  That's when the group becomes a testimony and a witness to outsiders.  Negative thoughts break unity in the community.  Jesus loves these people.  1)  If there is someone, you don't like, Jesus told us to love our enemies.  Pray for those who persecute us.  2)  Consult the Lord.  3)   Wait upon the Lord.  When he doesn't give an answer, he wants you to wait.
