The Lord is
saying. You are my jewel, My precious one. Do not grieve or be
afraid and in torment, do you not know that I have overcome all
these things that come to disturb. Walk on cheerfully, knowing
I am in control and that I am making all things new and restoring
that which is lost through your mistakes and others. I am bigger
than your failings. Walk on rejoicing.
As
you come to him, the living Stone-rejected by men but chosen by
God and precious to Him you also, like living stones, are being
built into a spiritual house to be a .........holy
priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through
Jesus Christ.

Peter 2:4-6
Another Heavenly encounter!!!
More about the promise of wholeness portrayed in the Rainbow
This morning (29th March 10) when
I went to the Lord, He was very happy and said He wanted to show
me something. He took me in the spirit up the grassy hill where
the grass is so lush and beautiful. There were yellow flowers
there that were so sweet and the moment was so precious and joyful
with Jesus. He told me to look and see what I could see, so I
looked over the horizon.. I could see the hills that stretched
far over the distance, but He asked again. As I focused my spiritual
eyes I could see a closer image, a shadowy image, that became
clear to me that it was a man. Jesus told me to ask the man who
he was. So I did...and he told me he was Noah and I was so overjoyed
because of the revelations of the rainbow that he had shared with
me recently that I started to dance.
He told me that there was much excitement and it had caused a
quite a stir in the heavenlies with those who had gone before
because these heavenly revelations were being shared on the earth.
Noah wanted me to explain again what
I had grasped from the scriptures, so I reiterated to him about
the revelations and the scriptures that were opened up to me that
day when the Lord took me to see him. I knew he was doing this
so I would formulate them, remember them and get them deeper in
my heart.
The seven colours of the rainbow
associated with the promise in Isaiah 54:9
For this
is as the waters of Noah unto me: for as I have sworn that the
waters of Noah should no more go over the earth; .......
Seven signifies wholeness, completion
and perfection. (seven is also the word for oath ... to seven
oneself) Imagine when God first gave the rainbow how wonderful
to think He 'sevened' Himself and it was shown in seven glorious
colours. And as Noah had said we had a greater covenant, because
God sevened himself again....
........so
have I sworn that I would not be wroth with thee, nor rebuke thee.
Isaiah 54:10 For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my COVENANT
OF PEACE shall not be removed," says the LORD, who has compassion
on you.
The covenant of Peace that can't be
broken is (Shalom) means wholeness, no deficiency and there in
the Hebrew it indicates that when it (the peace) is paid for,
it will have been worth it. This was written many hundreds of
years before the COVENANT OF PEACE was paid for by Jesus with
His Covenantal blood being spilled. Jesus went through the terrible
death because of the joy set before Him of buying us back and
bringing us into all that He has for us.
It was revealed to me that God CANNOT
fail to fulfil His promises because His covenant that cannot be
broken.
The next verse In Isaiah 53:11 &
12
I had seen in my spirit...the jewels
cut like massive shiny flat paving slabs measuring about 15ft
by 7ft, the deepest richest colours. Beautiful deep purple so
shiny and translucent and I could see the beauty of each stone
deep within it. Its hard to describe .... There was a red one
and yellow, violet, green , blue orange... all the colours of
the rainbow and each one represented one or even more promises
that I could stand or even dance on..... Dance on when I was confident
and to weakly try to stand on when I wasn't. I knew these stones
were being laid in my heart as God's word and I knew that if I
let His word abide in me and if I abode in Him I could ask anything
and it would be done for me by my Father in heaven and thus I
would bear much fruit. John 15.
After describing to Noah the things I had grasped, he said "Yes
but there is more. He told me.... or should I say I experienced
the scriptures being opened to me without words. The scriptures
came to me. Isaiah 53 "He shall divide the spoils with the
strong" and in the New Testament "The violent take the
Kingdom by force". I remembered how Smith Wigglesworth had
said that we have to violently come against those things that
are trying to destroy our peace.
And then I saw it ... The peace that the Lord died to give us...the
wholeness ....the Shalom that means nothing missing nothing broken
.... it was all ours... wholeness, completion RIGHT NOW... every
bit of it paid for by the blood of Jesus and rightfully ours.
But we have to police it. To believe it. We have to guard it in
our hearts and to violently tell the arguments against the truth
that they have to leave. To be forceful and not passive against
the symptoms, the lies, the strongholds. We have the power to
bring down the strongholds, the structures in our thinking that
the devil has set up to undermine the promises. Everything is
ours in Christ and we have to fight to believe it. The fight of
faith. Jesus said those who overcome will inherit all things.
We should fight too for our children's
peace, those things that come against their peace we have authority
over, and we need not to be passive but claim this ground. We
have to rule over the demonic forces that come to steal our children's
peace.
Jesus said there was something Noah wanted to give me from himself
and the hosts of heaven. In their excitement and love they had
prepared a gift and I could sense them looking on in great anticipation
about this gift and I knew it was because of the revelation of
the rainbow and wholeness. I turned and looked and I saw something
in Noah's hand wrapped loosely in white tissue paper. I kept looking
at Jesus and looking at Noah and they were smiling and looking
at each other in anticipation of me seeing this. It was a massive
diamond. I kept looking inside it and the Lord kept telling me
to look and see but at first I couldn't make it out, what was
in it.. Then I saw that inside the diamond were seven stones of
the colours of the rainbow, ruby emerald sapphire amethyst.....
I asked if I could have it in a ring and yes I put it on my finger
as a reminder of the wholeness that Jesus had promised me. The
wholeness that was already mine, that I was to guard in my heart
and to extricate the invaders that seek to own my property.
