I was asked by someone if I thought we had to go away to get healed. No, before leaving Kathy and I discussed that we did not have to go anywhere to get healed, this is why I know He was throwing us a party. On the trip down we also discussed that nothing might ‘manifest’ while there because this was our personal party and we were expecting to go home and unwrap the gifts with our family. Though I began to eat what I had not been able to while on the way home from the trip, it is the continuing unfolding of the eating and bowel functions which show forth that the healing is now, not some sign gotten on the trip. However there was further confirmation in Ruach’s directing our thoughts in this area by Joseph’s dream. Remember I said I didn’t want to know what his dream was till we got home? Arriving home on Friday night I had about an hour to get unpacked etc before going to Scarlett’s b’day party. Once we got to Jake and Sarah’s I asked Jose what his dream had been. He shared it as I remember it thusly: We were in our church (Trinity) but it was bigger, Todd Bentley was there and sat some big boxes at each corner of the church building, then he on a table, which sat in the middle of the room, he placed an empty glass. He then just disappeared into the crowd. The glass began to fill from the bottom up. Next Jose saw Bentley again in the church and he said he recognized our platform at TCC only bigger and Todd had a marker in his hand, he pointed at Tracey and asked him to come and write something on one of the boxes. Tracey was demurring as we all know Tracey can but the crowd started cheering him on and finally he took the marker and went to write on the box. Jose said he couldn’t read what he wrote but it was in beautiful script handwriting. I started dancing around the kitchen (been doing a lot of that dancing) and said, ‘I know what the boxes are, they are the gifts we’ve come back to open.’ Do I know what’s all in the boxes, nope, but I believe we will have some authority to write what is our hearts desire and receive it like a gift wrapped in the boxes. This also goes with a prophetic word Kathy gave a few Sundays ago, that Abba was saying we would be the one’s to limit what was going to be received, He was not limiting it, so put out the biggest pot you had. Consequently did we have to go away to get healing? No, we were not even anointed and prayed for there, we went at Yeshua’s invitation to party and to come home and open the gifts. I had also expressed to Kathy while on the trip that I was determined that people would not think you had to go to a special meeting (nothing wrong with going, I plan on as He allows going to other meetings) to be healed, because we had to get out of the mindset that we can’t have it, be it, do it right here. This was confirmed by Todd when he said he was sent only to impart to others and they were to take it back home.
Beloved, the kingdom of God has come to you (Matt. 12:28), the Spirit of power, the one who raised Yeshua from the dead can dwell in you (Rom. 8:11) and when that is so, you can and will release rivers of living water (Jn 7:38).
We have dealt with demonic spirits since returning, spirits of control and know that we will continue to displace them so the kingdom can find fullness in our midst. I know many don’t want to think demonic activity can mess with Christians so let me give you one example though there are many. In 2 Cor. 12:7 Paul says he has a messenger of satan sent to buffet him because of the surpassing revelation he receives. He sought for it to go but was told merely that Abba’s grace was sufficient for him. I don’t know about you but I’m not about to judge Paul as being too weak to deal with demonic activity nor as one who was not living a strong enough Christian life or he wouldn’t have had to deal with them. He was an apostle, unusual miracles were done by his ministry, he raised the dead at least once but demons tried to mess with him. I really don’t care what the thorn manifested itself as; the word buffet literally means to rap with the fist, they beat him up a lot. We expand the kingdom by Ruach’s loosing power which delivers many from the kingdom of darkness in salvation, healing, and deliverance from addictions…The Kingdom is near, the time is now, seek His face and find life.
