The party continues without interruption and prophetically I believe it will extend to the neighbors, as that which was lost is continuing to be found. One definition of continuum is continuous extent or whole, where no part can be distinguished from the whole except by arbitrary division. In other words to use the math application of continuous it is a function where changes in x-value result in small changes in a corresponding y-value without sudden jumps needed.
(Okay without going into my usual technicalities give me a little leeway here; I promise I am going to make application to the Spiritual side of this. Something is considered continuous if a point (call that point c) meets these conditions: any positive number (those kinds of positive numbers we love to see in the checkbook) ε (Epsilon), no matter how tiny, there is a positive number δ (Delta) where all of x will be the same distance from δ from c, the value of f(x) will be within the distance ε from f(c).)
What I’m seeing is the Delta change again but throw in Epsilon an arbitrarily small positive amount affecting the whole causing a smooth process of change verse, shuddering jumps and jerks. Paul Erdős (late mathematician) used the term epsilons referring to children. Change is much easier for children to assimilate and go with, mainly because they are constantly changing whether they like it or not. As adults we often are a bit obdurate to change because we think we like what we find familiar and what has a proven track record (although I find the ‘proven’ part is usually just a personal perception and can easily be shown to be ineffective for the ever changing circumstances we are in). Like it or not, beloved, when these dinks invade the glory presence delta (change) will be and is their nature and we can find that the continuum is a result for all of the Xers and Yers moving smoothly along. When the c’s (Christians) allow the Delta (change needed) and the Epsilons (the children that we are supposed to be like according to Scripture) we find ourselves moving smoothly without the bone jerking, soul jerking reaction most of us have to change. I don’t know about you but I’ve been in a vehicle where the shocks were not sufficient and the ride was not pleasant, it was uncomfortable to say the least, though we did get to where we were going. These little Eps will need us but never mistake we really, really need them to participate in this last day move for we will be moving in realms where we have never moved before and their input will be as viable as ‘seasoned’ C’s.
Further reports of the party
Sunday the 20th Ruach (the Holy Spirit) graced us with His manifest presence and people began to receive His joy. Many who have never experienced laughing in the Spirit were finding depths of joy welling up and spilling out of their lips. I was able to give the report of continuing to be able to eat what had been forbidden with no meds to help and no nausea or colon complications from this. I prayed with the dinks and there was a strong anointing on them already. Do not mistake the joy I’m talking about with just thrills and chills, I’m talking the loosing of bonds as a result from the demonic being broken which is manifest in the release of joy in the Lord, for His goodness, His grace and for the love of Abba. To share with you just how determined Abba is to continue the spillage, TA left his cell phone and we called Bren who had not made it to the morning service (office work), TA remembered and came back for the phone before she got there but had left. Kathy Dawn and I were still reveling in His goodness and grace when Bren came in. I shared what had happened but told her no condemnation for having missed it, and then I said, ‘whoa, who says you gotta miss it?’ We stood up and began to pray and whoosh, down and the joy hit, laughter bubbled up, we even had a wonderful witness from her it went like this, ‘A big woo-hoo.’ This was in response to my woo-hooing over her. Again something the enemy had been trying to do was broken for her.
Monday night at prayer a person was released from a demonic hindrance which had been plaguing them for a couple of years.
Wed the 23 I spoke on giving up your rights. Since Ruach had given me this for three different people I realized it was something that needed to be expounded to the general family. Basically we give up our rights in order to receive what He will and is going to do. Example, Yeshua gave up His rights of all heaven to come to earth and look what He accomplished, Paul gave up his rights to claim the Roman citizenship before being beaten and the entire jail was shaken and the jailer and his family were saved. Hannah gave up her rights to raise Samuel and Abba’s voice was heard again in the Tabernacle. On and on it goes. Others who stood on their rights ended up barren, dethroned, dead…Basically give up your right to be hurt and the pain will leaven because then forgiveness can flow from you. If you cling to your right to be hurt (they did this to me, it was not my fault in any way, I have a right to be hurt, angry…) you will turn bitter. I you cling to your right to be respected you might miss dancing before the Lord as King David did and having your family (the Kingdom) promised to you. Give up your rights to your dream to have His. David gave up the right as King to build a Temple and Abba built Him a house. Okay you get the pic, if not email me and I’ll fill you in ad infinitum.
During the prayer time Wed. I was crying out for laborers for the harvest and Ruach spoke to my heart and said, ‘those who are being raised up out of wheelchairs, out of demonic bondage right now, out of spirits of infirmity, will the be laborers for this Harvest.’ Sadly many who’ve been on the church pews will remain on the church pews but Abba will have His Harvest, His kids will come home, Yeshua will have His bride and Ruach is out laboring in us, with us and through us.
That night I felt totally peace but not the overwhelming presence I had come to have since Louisville. I have not gotten much sleep at all since this party began mainly because I keep getting such an overflow of joy I have to (at least I feel like I have to or bust) get up and dance. (I think I have dance lag) This night however I didn’t feel that overwhelming, so still not getting much sleep I was beginning to fret I’ve done something or maybe He was stepping back so I would pursue Him. Getting up I said, ‘Okay Abba, I need to know what’s up cause I can’t stand having peace but not feeling the joy. Have I muffed it?’ He gave me instantly the Scripture, Ps 84 that no good thing would be withheld. Okay kosher then what’s up? Ruach let me know that He had banked the Presence ‘so I could sleep!!’ ‘Oy Vey, okay, I understand but here’s the deal, I can’t stand not to experience this closeness and yes, I need sleep so surely there’s a way that I can know You’re here but not be so overwhelmed with the joy that I can’t sleep.’
I left it with Him and trusted that Thursday night would present the solution. He’s so good. I went to bed around midnight and when I lay down the cloud of His presence filled my side of the room. I went whoa, this is way cool. He said, ‘go to sleep, I’m here’. I closed my eyes, then peeked out again to make sure I was seeing what I knew I was seeing and sure enough the cloudy Presence grew even more dense, I extending my hand out and I could not see it for the density of the cloud. He said, ‘go to sleep, you can see I’m here’. I finally closed my eyes and quit peeking and sleep I did. Woo-hoo! I decided to get ready for Sunday and the baptisms I might need to fast and make sure the place was demon clear, I asked and then went to the Scripture, no indication that I was to fast. Then I heard His say, ‘it’s time to snuggle, not struggle’. In other words, stay in My Presence and He would do what was necessary to ‘getter done!’
I did feel that it was okay to paint in preparation for the baptismal service so I got to the church around 9 to do the platform and baptistery. Okay playing my new music (Newsboys Go) can be dangerous when on a ladder but it sure makes painting fun. I probably could have painted faster without the dance breaks but hey, a girls gotta let the joy flow. Bren had taken on the task to do a floral thingy for the baptistery and she brought it by at lunch. Whoa it’s gorgeous and really looks fantastic since hanging it up. Jake, Sarah and kids joined me around 3 and we kept up the painting. Dave arrived around 4 and when we decided to get pizza for a meal we were joined by Mike. I know some of you are wondering; did Kathryne eat pizza? Yep, two slices of pepperoni and pineapple. First pizza in years. I got home around 8.
The 26th I got up no stiffness, no sore arm muscles from 10 hours of painting and dance breaks. I headed back to the church where Dave and Kathy Dawn were working. I did some last min. trim work and we worked on rearranging the platform. Jose and Kat arrived to relocate the drums. We were joined by Henry for worship practice (TA was ding a bike run for the food bank) and things were ready. In the midst of all of this I got a call from the Funeral Home would I work tonight (Saturday night in W’boro???) I knew they had to be desperate to call me for Sat and to work in W’boro so I said yes. Going home around 2:30 I was thinking how stupid, you need to rest, tomorrows a big day. I lay down for 20 mins and actually slept for 15 of those and got up to wash my hair, when I heard Him say, ‘someone needs your witness, that’s why you need to go.’ Okay this puts a new spin on the night. Sure enough I was able to give a fairly full witness to someone who’d asked for prayer for Steve with Leukemia (please pray for Steve), about what had been going on with me. It was way cool. There were other things which occurred but too much to go into.
Sunday the 27th I got up at 5 to worship and we left early to get the water started in the baptistery. I anointed the sanctuary. Jose and Kat got there early and the rest of the worship team soon followed. We had great practice and this was followed by an anointed SS lesson. It was reported that someone saw a glow around Jose as he taught. Ms Helen had almost decided to back out of being baptized because it is hard for her to do steps but suddenly said she wanted to give it a go. We had ladies scrounging for ‘extra clothes’ for her and hey we came up with the goods. Dave commented after that he felt more like a catcher in the baptismal pool verse the baptizing official. Let’s just say the power was awesome and visible. Several saw visual manifestation, too cool. We prayed for not only those being baptized but for whosoever and Rauch again was breaking up the deep. There were some who felt physical manifestations of His Presence which they had not felt before and the cool thing was it was lingering. I prayed with some of the kids and felt an overwhelming anointing coming off Daniel H. I tell you it was enough that it could have knocked me down. Wo-hoo Epsilons!
