Kiss of Betrayal, Twisted Justice

in the AV, forms of the word φιλέω can be found twenty-five times. the word was translated to love twenty-two times, but only three times it was translated to kiss. interestingly, each time the word was translated to kiss, it actually pertained to the kiss of Judas. the first time in Matthew, the second in Luke, and third in Mark. the kiss of Judas was clearly the greatest kiss of betrayal in the history of mankind, but I wonder if that phrase could also translate to an embrace of betrayal by the most infamous apostate.

while studying the definition of betrayal, I heard Habakkuk. the name Habakkuk means embrace. I also heard the word twisted.

...the wicked surround the righteous; so justice goes forth [twisted].(ESV)

Then those who had seized Jesus led him to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders had gathered. And Peter was following him at a distance, as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and going inside he sat with the guards to see the end. Now the chief priests and the whole council were seeking false testimony against Jesus that they might put him to death, but they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. At last two came forward and said, This man said, 'I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to rebuild it in three days.' And the high priest stood up and said, Have you no answer to make? What is it that these men testify against you? But Jesus remained silent. And the high priest said to him, I adjure you by the living God, tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God. Jesus said to him, You have said so. But I tell you, from now on you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven. Then the high priest tore his robes and said, He has uttered blasphemy. What further witnesses do we need? You have now heard his blasphemy. What is your judgment? They answered, He deserves death. Then they spit in his face and struck him. And some slapped him, saying, Prophesy to us, you Christ! Who is it that struck you?
(ESV)

Dream: Kiss Mark

my viewpoint was up close, as an aged female healing evangelist ministered deliverance prayer close to a young man of short stature in front of a sanctuary platform. the woman had protruding lips covered with lipstick; the man wore a white button-down shirt.

the moment the minister turned the man to face me, the right hand side of his face suddenly appeared very aged and wrinkled, which I discerned as a work of the enemy manifesting.

then she turned the man to face her again, and unintentionally smudged lipstick on his shirt as she prayed, which next appeared as a red kiss mark right over his heart. whenever she had ministered prayer, her lips were across from his heart.

for starters, the kiss mark might symbolize the love of Jesus ministered through a happy accident.

Symbolism: Birds

Eagle

the eagle can symbolize prophetic gifting, and if it was flying near the ceiling, or high in the sky, that could have a heavenly association. eagles are keenly far-sighted; prophets of Jesus are foretold future events.

Cardinal

the name for the birds we call cardinals comes from the title of the red-garbed high ecclesiastics in the RCC, but if that reference is taken back to ancient times—before the existence of the College of Cardinals—then the red bird might symbolize a prince of the church, which is a generic reference for a clergyman.

also, cardinals have grosbeak-type bills for cracking seeds, which might symbolize an ability to get to the heart of the Word—symbolized by the seed.

Anointing for Healing

In the book The Sacred Anointing, Steven Brooks wrote about receiving a visitation from Jesus, who taught him: Tell the people, that when you lay your hands on them and My anointing flows through you and then into their bodies, tell them it works the same way as if someone had an infection, and they were given an antibiotic.

Jesus also taught Brooks: The moment the anointing goes in, it will destroy the sickness or disease. Sometimes the results will be instantaneous. Other times the manifestation will occur within two, six, or eight hours later. When the anointing is received with faith, it will always produce results.

Face Beams

in 2010, during a church service, I saw little rays of light coming out of the face of a pastor as he stood on the platform, looking up, and praising God. the rays were at least two inches in length. that pastor had gone on ministry trips to India where healing miracles were taking place.

Pure Worship

have had mixed feelings about interpreting the tongue, since I do not want to misunderstand it, but since speaking in a tongue is pure worship and praise between my spirit and Jehovah, then actually all I have to do is agree with it—not necessarily understand it, or interpret it, or whatnot. the tongue will remind me of His wonders, which will then edify me.

Sanctified Imagination

meditating on the word of God sanctifies the imagination, not only in the sense of purification but also in preparation for a holy purpose.

the mind of Christ realizes eternity in its fullness. [Jesus] is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us...(HNV) so the mind of Christ transcends the limits of our imagination. we need to ask Jesus to take us to the outer limits.

Special Seer Gifting

Deborah Shambora was flattened from behind by a galloping horse. the force of the impact damaged both of her retinas, leaving behind scar tissue, which seriously impaired the physical vision in both eyes.

but here is the amazing part: while seated in a church service, she could clearly see, with the eyes of her spirit, all kinds of angelic ministry all around her—in real time. Jesus did not heal her natural eyes yet, but He did open her spiritual eyes to see clearly in the spiritual realm.

Psalm 18:37

early this morning, while listening to Psalm 89(believed to be composed by Ethan the Ezrahite; Ethan means enduring), verse 37 stuck in my mind. Matthew Henry wrote something interesting about it:

That which is said and sworn is that God will have a church in the world as long as sun and moon endure, v. 36, 37. The sun and moon are faithful witnesses in heaven of the wisdom, power, and goodness of the Creator, and shall continue while time lasts, which they are the measurers of; but the seed of Christ shall be established for ever, as lights of the world while the world stands, to shine in it, and, when it is at an end, they shall be established lights shining in the firmament of the Father.

Vision: Blue Angel

I saw a large angel with big blue wings in the middle of a sanctuary—a kind of three dimensional still frame vision. the interactive aspect of that vision was the ability to rotate the view to any angle, in the sense that I could orbit my view around the angel to view it from any angle, but I was unable to zoom in or out. though it did not feel like I was actually orbiting the angel, instead, I was rotating it as an object, along with the sanctuary—a challenge to describe. then I heard the phrase, he is causing trouble.

Intense Gifts

some believers have received gifts that became very intense—so intense that they asked God to turn down the gift. my question is: why did God turn it up to begin with? was there a purpose for that? maybe if the gifted just roll with it, they will be able to tolerate the intensity gradually over time—just as eyes adjust to bright light. why not leave the volume knob right where Jesus set it?

Timing the Delivery

sometimes we need to take some time to digest the revelation manna that Jesus feeds us. because a knee-jerk reaction could lead into an awkward situation which could have been avoided otherwise by taking time to meditate, pray, and even fast. it just depends on His guidance, the situation, and the nature of the vision. or sometimes we receive an inward witness in our spirit in form of a stop sign, or a green light.

Mind Catching Up

sometimes when we experience something supernatural, it can feel like there was some kind of a shift where everything seems slightly different. sometimes I think our mind needs to catch up to where our spirits have gone. like in healing videos, where someone on the street experiences a healing miracle, including heat, tingling, then all of the pain instantly goes away. then they suddenly walk away—I think their mind needs to catch up.

Experiences at Bethel

during the conferences at Bethel—for about an hour before each session—they open a room upstairs where people gather to pray, etc. I joined the people pacing slowly in a circle. inside the circle, was a woman laying on her back, I could not see the angel, but could tactually discern what seemed to be an angel crouched next to her.

also, at that conference, I heard clearly what seemed to be an angel say, do you want to co-labor with us? say, 'I love You'.

during the praise/worship music, I discerned power emanating through the voice of one of the Bethel worship leaders whenever she sang. then, during the worship music, I received an open vision of a white substance flowing forward out of her, which fanned out downward over the top of the platform and toward the audience. the substance appeared as a white liquid, which was wavy in the sense that it was lively, but at the same time, it remained unified—lively, but not splashing around. to me, that speaks of both being full of life, and of the unity in the body of Christ.

Understanding Parables

while Jesus was speaking parables among the people, if they were not seeing and hearing God, how could they possibly ever understand the meanings?

understanding parables also seems like looking at the reflection of your face on the surface of the water. but if you do not plunge your whole head into the water—to break the reflective surface—each parable will remain extrinsic.

there is so much more to life, and so much depth, when we find Jesus in all of this.

Obedience in Spiritual Gifts

in the operation of spiritual gifts, believers can do a very awesome job in Jesus' name. because Jesus—aka Wisdom—does not have a single uncertain opinion. there is no shadow of doubt; no fog of uncertainty in the crystal clarity of His wisdom—His eyes are infinitely crystal clear. what it all means exactly is secondary, so leave the infinite details to Him. of primary importance to each child of God is the perfection of obedience.

a believer moving in a seer gifting, or discerning of spirits, may receive a vision of a very bizarre nature, so bizarre that they might be concerned about delivering it. enough times, believers are worried about tarnishing their reputations, or looking foolish among others, which can cause them to shrink back from challenges Jesus sets before them. if something like that happens, just remember that Jesus is testing. or maybe someone will ask Jesus for another sign to raise your confidence in Him, as Gideon did. again, it is not necessary for anyone to personally fully understand it all, but just to follow the voice of Jesus—He moves through the prophetic voice.

When we receive a revelation, it not only creates the foundation, but also includes the authority and power to accomplish it.†

that authority and power to accomplish it can refer to Jesus moving through the prophetic voice—it is all Him.

Open Heavens

open visions are the highest form of visions.

the phrase open heaven can refer to a glory realm where miracles readily occur, and where there is a higher level of angelic activity—while open heavens may also extend over geographic regions. some sanctuaries are known for higher levels of supernatural activity. for example, right after arriving at one conference, I walked straight to the spot the home congregation was calling the hot spot which I understood to be a portal. I stopped on the spot, and right after bowing my head to pray, I heard I love you whispered over my right ear.

angels are known to participate with us in our worship. I saw an angel with a happy countenance reach down and touch the shoulder of a missionary who was leading worship, but I only saw the angel's right arm, right shoulder and his head. Seer Jonathan Welton, saw seraphim—or fire angels—standing among worshipers in Brazil at Casa de Davi.

Hagin's Special Anointing

in the book, I Believe in Visions, Kenneth Hagin described a special anointing to minister to the sick that Jesus gave him:

...when I would pray and lay hands on the sick, I was to lay one hand on each side of the body. If I felt fire jump from hand to hand, an evil spirit or demon was present in that body causing affliction. I should call him out in Jesus' Name, and the demon or demons would have to go.

If the fire or the anointing in my hands did not jump from hand to hand, it was a case needing healing only. I should pray for the person in Jesus' Name, and if he would believe and accept it, the anointing would leave my hands and go into that person's body, driving out the disease and bringing healing. When the fire or anointing left my hands and went into the person's body, I would know he was healed.

whenever Hagin felt the anointing begin to wane, he was instructed to fast and pray until it returned.

in time, he was given a gift of discerning of spirits, and no longer needed to use the two-hand method.

A Sign Came through the Angel Section

from the perspective of a seated congregation, Jesus commonly stations angels on the left hand side of the platform. in that area during church services, sparkles of light can be seen—including slightly brighter flashes.

one Sunday—all at the same exact moment—I saw a flash in the angel section, heard the word praise, and felt a sensation like a tingling run through my side—through the inside of my body—extending about twelve inches. but for some ridiculous reason, I took the sign as some sort of warning or threat; as if I was not praising enough, and Jesus was using an angel to goad me, so I silently began to praise Jesus.

how I now understand the sign: I was supposed to ask around the congregation to find out if anyone present currently had an illness which matched the area of the tingling sensation, then I was to pray for healing, which in turn would bring praise to Jesus.

Silver Symbolism

in dreams and visions, silver symbolizes such things as wisdom, the soul(Eccl.12:6), and the spiritual realm. add to that how the statue in Nebuchadnezzar's dream had a chest of silver. Jesus guides our hearts deeper into the riches of His.

Before the silver cord is severed,
Or the golden bowl is broken,
Or the pitcher is broken at the spring,
Or the wheel broken at the cistern,
And the dust returns to the [earth] as it was,
And the spirit returns to God who gave it.
(HNV)

X-ray Knee

I entered a realm in the spirit; three angels were there. we stood behind a person who was probably unaware of our presence. I could see the back of the person's knee joint through their pant leg, which appeared as an x-ray image. in that image, joint inflammation appeared as the color of red. then the angel passed his hand over the knee joint, and it was healed instantly—all of the red inflammation disappeared.

Ever-Bearing Strawberries

there is a main category of strawberry plants called june-bearing, which bear a single crop in early summer. the other category is ever-bearing, because of several crops.

the ever-bearing category represents the kingdom of heaven in the sense that we are to be urgent in season and out of season(HNV).

even though figs were out of season when Jesus searched the whole tree for fruit, after finding none, He dropped it.

Therefore bring forth fruit worthy of repentance!(HNV)

...the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, shalom, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. ...(HNV)

Signs in the Sky

So, the sun and the moon, God created, as signals on His feast days for signs of His appearing.
—Mark Blitz

• אוֹת(sounds like the word OATH) means sign or signal.
• מוֹעֵד(sounds like the words mow + AID) has been translated season, feast, appointed time, etc.

during the last days of this age, the return of Messiah will be signaled by marked changes in the appearance of the sun and the moon.

Religious Shortsightedness

in Matthew 16, the religious leaders refused to recognize the signs of the appearance of their Messiah, even as He was putting his Father's eternal power on display through countless miracles, so the Pharisees and Sadducees were without excuse, but that did not keep them from asking Jesus for a sign.

[Jesus] answered [the Pharisees and Sadducees], When it is evening, you say, It will be fair weather, for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening. You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.(ESV)

since the two main religious sects were using signs in the sky simply to prognosticate weather patterns, they were neglecting signs of greater importance—the signs of the times. because most of such signs signaled festivals commemorating the wonders, grace and deliverance of God, with the greatest sign being the appearance of their prophesied Messiah—whom they stood before. the festivals signaled the consummation of heavenly things, not natural things. their vision fell short of heaven in such a way for so long—including their long season of prophetic drought—that they totally missed it.

could the Pharisees and Sadducees be used to represent the modern Protestants and Catholics?

Cataclysmic Distraction

after being distracted by the punishing waves, Peter began to sink—Jesus allowed him to sink for a reason.

from that account, we should understand how it is a mistake to allow the threat of any approaching cataclysmic end time events to become a focus of fear and distract us from Jesus, even as some disastrous events themselves will serve as signs of the return of Messiah.

Four Total Lunar Eclipses

NASA has predicted four successive total lunar eclipses with red moons during Jewish feasts:

• Total Lunar Eclipse(Red Moon): 15th of April 2014; Passover
• Total Lunar Eclipse(Red Moon): 8th of October 2015; Feast of Tabernacles
• Total Lunar Eclipse(Red Moon): 4th of April 2015; Passover
• Total Lunar Eclipse(Red Moon): 8th of October 2015; Feast of Tabernacles

instead of allowing our minds to become obsessed with cataclysmic imagery, we should search for clues in Scripture that will help us understand what such signs in the sky actually mean as they apply to biblical prophesy. while always keeping in mind that the main event is the coming King of Kings.

if our minds become obsessed with cataclysmic imagery, and such an obsession grows large enough, it will drop down into our hearts to manifest as a fear responses, even panic.

Spiritual Vision: Red and Yellow Shield

I saw one particular manifestation a couple of times during church services, and the same manifestation actually appeared above and behind the judge's bench in traffic court. it was circular like orbs, but larger, and much more distinct. it had a three-dimensional form that reminded me of a little buckler shield. it was opaque with glowing and blended shades of yellow and red--it would remain stationary wherever it manifested. in traffic court, it appeared as if it was mounted to the wall behind the judge's bench(between one and two feet above the level of the top of the judge's head), and once I saw it on the wall behind the platform during a church service. at both the church services and traffic court, the manifestation looked identical.

I would not characterize that manifestation as an orb, since the typical orb is comparatively more ethereal—in a delicate, light and airy sense. this thing was so distinct that it appeared as a solid. it was opaque in the sense that I could not see through it at all. I saw it three times. two times, it hung on a wall. but I did not discern anything, as far as this presence affecting the atmosphere or the environment, or anyone noticing it. one time it was stationed in the air above the platform, away from the wall, while the pastor was preaching, but no one seemed to notice.

Santeria to Salvation

there is a man who once practiced Santeria, and he would astral project to different areas to put curses on them, but one time while astral projecting, he saw a group of Christians praying on a street corner, and while he tried to put a curse on that same area, he discovered that he could do nothing. eventually, he repented, and became a believer.

Generational Timeline

below is my understanding of our generational lines, but I could be misunderstanding it. so it is important that Jesus has the final word on any aspect of its validity and acceptance. so I am better off suggesting it as food for thought to be taken with a grain of salt.

each of us moves on a discernible linear generational timeline—leading straight and directly before us linearly, while at the same time following straight, directly behind us linearly, which I think of as a person's  generational line. on such a discernible generational timeline, are all of the lives of our ancestors—trailing back to Adam. with successive generations directly before us linearly.

in that sense, perspectively, if anyone struggles with generational iniquity, it could mean that at some point on such a generational timeline, the enemy was legally given access to the generational line through some specific sin event many generations ago. specific iniquity could continue through successive generations if such a generational curse is left unbroken.

here is also that four generation rule. the awesome thing is that, since Jesus is the Breaker who leads the breakthrough, every generational curse is as good as broken.

Demonic Hierarchy

based on Ephesians 6:12, we wrestle against:

1. πνευματικὰ τῆς πονηρίας ἐν τοῖς ἐπουρανίοις

• translation: spiritual wickedness in high places
• highest level of demons that should not be confronted by people, but should be left to Jesus to handle instead; perhaps similar to how Michael the Archangel said, the LORD rebuke you.

2. κοσμοκράτορας τοῦ σκότους τοῦ αἰῶνος τούτου

• translation: rulers of the darkness of this world
• highest level that people deal with in the hierarchy of darkness.
• the unsaved are ruled over and dominated by them.
• in demonic possessions, they go in first to establish and rule over their kingdoms
• the demon who said, My name is Legion, was likely a ruler of the darkness of this world.

3. ἐξουσίας

• translation: powers
• rulers of the darkeness of this world rule over powers

4. ἀρχάς

• translation: principalities
• powers rule over principalities

5. the lowest level of evil spirits are like automatons.

Dream: Ministry Scenes (May5-2013)

the dream changed to three different scenes—all related to Christian ministry.

scene one: in the town I grew up in, I was walking down its suburban streets to the local convenience store. along the way, I met a man, then witnessed to him.

scene two: I'm standing among other believers who have gathered in a prairie to listen to a message. the man who was preaching was sitting under a strange kind of overhang—shaped like a little Quonset hut—which appeared to be made of haphazardly braided hay. but there were so many openings in the building material, that it would have only provided 50% shade at best. latticework of disheveled twisted hay sounds strange, but that is one way to describe it. at the very top of the hay Quonset—above the preacher—there was a large praying mantis eating the hay(but I think they only eat insects, though the bigger ones will eat animals). I reached up, grabbed the big bug, and shooed it away, so it darted away through the air, in a straight line, away from the preacher. and the bug flew much faster than a mantis would. (I found out that hay is sometimes stored in large metal Quonset structures, and can be neatly braided for various purposes)

scene three: I was at a meeting with other believers in a rented room of a school, but we were all standing, and I did not see any chairs. then I turned around to see a nine-foot tall basketball player standing right next to me. he was in his basketball uniform, and needed prayer for a tendon injury in his hip. as I put my fingers on the tendon, he moved away because of the pain. but then I prayed again, and could feel the tendon, which seemed over-sized. as I prayed, I asked a woman near me to join the prayer, and she laid her hand on his side above mine—she seemed a little nervous about doing so.

---

after having the dream, I now feel more encouraged to pray for healing—even more courage.

Interactivity in Closed Visions

as opposed to how open visions work, I have received a couple of closed visions with unique characteristics, having to do with interactivity.

in one closed vision, I saw a group of five seers staring directly at me; they were huddled together in the middle of a room. in that vision, I was able to visually zoom in and zoom out. so I zoomed in close to see that they all had oversized pupils—one of the reasons why I thought they were seers. and the seers did not move, but they looked very real. it is a strange realm in how everything looks very real, while at the same time, everything is frozen in place.

in another vision, I saw a large angel with big blue wings in the middle of a sanctuary—a kind of three dimensional still frame vision. the interactive aspect of that vision was the ability to rotate the view to any angle, in the sense that I could orbit my view around the angel to view it from any angle, but I was unable to zoom in or out. though it did not feel like I was actually orbiting the angel, instead, I was rotating it as an object, along with the sanctuary—a challenge to describe.
