The Covering & Intimacy With God

Hello Everyone! We Bless You In Jesus Name! We Love You! The LAST DAYS . . . What A TIME That We Are Living In! It is The DAYS Of The JUSTICE Of The LORD and We are Seeing Many Things That Were Hidden In The Dark Come To Light! Hallelujah! Thank YOU LORD!

“That’s because I am the Lord and I love justice. I HATE stealing and EVERYTHING THAT IS WRONG.” (ERV)

“And I will faithfully give them their recompense IN TRUTH, and I will make an everlasting covenant or league with them.” (AMPC)

Isaiah 61:8 (ERV and AMPC)

When praying about this Month’s Teaching Letter, I found The Lord ministering to me the word “ark” and another word that we will get to within this Teaching. The word “ark” is written in The Word of God many times. We find that a righteous man named Noah was told by God, Himself to build an ark to save himself and his family from a flood that would “clean” the evilness that had manifested greatly in the World.

“This is the history of the generations of Noah. Noah was a just and righteous man, blameless in his [evil] generation; Noah walked [in habitual fellowship] with God.” GENESIS 6:9 (AMPC)

Noah walked WITH GOD! Noah was INTIMATE and CLOSE To God! Noah lived a life in right standing with God and a JUST life. A JUST LIFE of doing what was of right and justice and truth. A Just life. Just also means uncompromising. Noah living in the EVIL GENERATION that he was in, in his time of History did so in a blamelessness, repentant, just and in right standing life with God. And, this life he led was INTIMATE and CLOSE To God! Noah was in a PLACE OF INTIMACY WITH GOD that POSITIONED HIM To Be Used Of God To RESCUE And KEEP A People that Jesus Could In The Future Come Through To Rescue and Redeem ALL MANKIND THROUGH!

THE ARK WAS A MERCY MISSION STRAIGHT FROM GOD! The WAY, Himself had to come to redeem, rescue and pay for ALL that we needed and could NOT pay for ourselves!

Noah’s obedience to God, his relationship and intimacy with God and his personal decision to live an uncompromising life gave The Lord the Way and right and Ability to get Jesus in the earth and to get to us! THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR MERCY and PERFECT PLAN! Hallelujah!

When you look in the New Testament we find something SO IMPORTANT! We are told by Jesus that before He returns to get His Bride, the Church, it will be like the days of Noah!

Matthew 24:36-39 (AMP)

“But of that [exact] day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. 38 For just as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, [men] marrying and [women] being given in marriage, until the [very] day when Noah went into the ark, 39 And they did not know or understand until the flood came and swept them all away--so will be the coming of the Son of Man.”

THE TIMES OF NOAH WILL LOOK LIKE THE DAYS OF JESUS COMING!

‘The earth was depraved and putrid in God’s sight, and the land was filled with violence (desecration, infringement, outrage, assault, and lust for power).” Genesis 6:11 (AMPC) That word, “violence” is the word “hamas.” “Hamas” can mean great violence, desecration (corruption, blasphemy, defilement), infringement (misconduct, taking what is not yours, entitlement), outrage (fury, rage, wrath), assault (ambush, attack) and lust for power. This truly describes our Time in so many ways.

When Noah was given this SO VERY SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT FROM GOD, there was MUCH direction given and a “knowing” given to Noah on how to do this Mission. Noah was told EXACTLY HOW to make this ark that would carry his family. Genesis 6:14 (AMP) tells us, “Make yourself an ark of gopher or cypress wood; make in it rooms (stalls, pens, coops, nests, cages, and compartments) and cover it inside and out with pitch (bitumen).”

When looking at Bitumen online it is found to be very “durable, adhesive, and built to withstand pressure and time.” Roads, highways, airport runways, parking lots, racetracks are just a few of the things that bitumen is in! Bitumen is used to waterproof buildings, bridges, and tunnels. (superiorasphaltlc.com) And yet, we find that THE LORD had put this substance in the earth for ARKS ALSO!

Bitumen or “pitch” or “tar” was and is still used greatly! It is made by God to, “withstand pressure and time.” And what a pressure Noah’s Ark would have endured! The rain, the ocean, over EVERYTHING! The “time” of all those days! That gopher wood would have to have had something SO STRONG to HOLD IT TOGETHER and TO KEEP ALL THE WATER OUT! God’s Precious Seed of People that He carried in that Ark would be covered and preserved!

Bitumen, or pitch or tar means in the Hebrew Strong’s Number #3724, “kopher.” Which means To Cover, Ransom, Sum of Money, Henna, Village.

OTHER ARKS

MANY ARKS were used in The Word of God to show us how God would carry, direct, rescue, deliver, protect, move, guide, speak to, and be with His People – let’s continue looking at them.

Moses, whose name means “drawn out of the water,” was the chosen Representative to be used to set God’s People free. Moses, a Deliverer of the Hebrew People, was a shadow and type of The Deliverer, Jesus who would come. Moses’ assignment was to lead the Hebrew People from slavery, oppression and poverty to the Promised Land of God.

Jesus, The Deliverer would lead His People to freedom and to His Promised Land where we would be saved, free and partakers of the wonderful New Covenant. Moses’ life, like Noah’s was saved, by an ark that was “pitched with tar.”

Exodus 2:3 (AMP) “And when she could no longer hide him, she took for him an ark or basket made of bulrushes or papyrus [making it watertight by] daubing it with bitumen and pitch. Then she put the child in it and laid it among the rushes by the brink of the river [Nile].”

Just like the Ark of Noah had “bitumen” or “pitch” on it to keep it waterproof, so was the “ark” or basket that was used to rescue Moses.
And isn’t it amazing that Moses was saved by an ark and then God would use him to build The Ark of The Covenant (God’s Presence) for His People, The Hebrew Children years later!

God used an ark to save and rescue His People from death when the flood of Noah’s time occurred. And God used an ark to rescue and protect Moses, the Deliverer of God’s People when death was against him. Moses was moved down a body of water in an ark. He was saved to represent a remnant of baby boys that were being killed by the Pharaoh at this time. As God saved a remnant of people in Noah’s Ark, God would save Moses, a baby boy sentenced to death, to live and save His People again! God has always used arks to save, carry and rescue His People! Thank you Lord!

The next ark that we want to talk about is The Ark of The Covenant. “Ark” in Hebrew is tebah which means “box, chest, and coffin.” The Ark was a container that was commanded by God to be built so that His Presence would be with His People. We find God’s specific directions of how to build The Ark of The Covenant in Exodus 25:10-22. God’s Promises, His Commitments, His Covenant that He made with the Hebrew People were to be placed inside of The Ark.

“When the Ark is finished, place inside it the stone tablets inscribed with the terms of the covenant, which I will give to you.”

(Exodus 25:16 NLT)

God always has been and always will be serious about His Covenant with His Children. God has always wanted to be with His Children, since the Garden of Eden when He walked with Adam and Eve in the cool of the day. And He never changes. He wanted to be with His Children and speak and fellowship with them.

“There I will meet with you and, from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim that are upon the ark of the Testimony, I will speak intimately with you of all which I will give you in commandment to the Israelites.” (Exodus 25:22 AMP)

Meeting In INTIMACY With His People Has ALWAYS Been Our Father’s Heart . . .

AND IT STILL IS!

God wanted to be with His People; therefore, He placed His Presence in a container called an Ark and He, within that container would intimately speak, direct, counsel, and guide His Children. Then when Jesus came to fulfill and pay for The New Covenant something changed with The Ark.

We see that when Jesus was on the cross, still paying for The New Covenant that He and Father God was making with His People, a huge change occurred. “And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. 51 And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split. 52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many.” (Matthew 27:50-53 (NASB))

The veil was the curtain that separated man from The Ark of The Covenant, God’s Presence. Only one man (The High Priest), one time a year (The Day of Atonement) could go behind that veil and approach The Ark of The Covenant or God and His Presence. When Jesus yielded His Spirit and died for us, He was laying down His Life and Blood to pay for The New Covenant that we now have. The veil that was hanging in front of The Ark of God in The Tabernacle and later The Temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. No One else but Father God, Himself could have torn that curtain! WHY? Because Father has always wanted to be INTIMATE and CLOSE With His People!

Anyone who would go behind that curtain would have died in God’s Presence at that time (Remember, only the High Priest could and only on The Day of Atonement; this happened at Passover.) Also, the veil or curtain weighed a tremendous amount. No one could have physically torn it. God was letting us, His Children know that approaching Him was no longer exclusive to just one man. Now all could enter in and be with God! All could ask Him questions and get His Answers! All could experience His Wonderfulness, no longer just one man, one time a year. We can all come boldly into the Throne Room and be with Him! (Ephesians 3:12) Praise The Lord! Now there is something that we read that is worth repeating. We found in Matthew 27:50-53 something incredible. ”And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice, and yielded up His spirit. 51 And behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth shook and the rocks were split. 52 The tombs were opened, and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; 53 and coming out of the tombs after His resurrection they entered the holy city and appeared to many.”

Let’s just all say out loud together . . . WOW! The People of God that was in “tombs” had them to open and the bodies of the Saints were now moving and resurrected! That’s just about too much to comprehend isn’t it? Yet, let’s remember that the Hebrew name for “ark” is tebah which means “box, chest, and coffin.” And let’s not forget that those Arks or COFFINS were probably sealed with something to make them waterproof! For, Arks need to be waterproof! And a coffin IS an Ark! And to remind our hearts, bitumen, or pitch or tar means in the Hebrew Strong’s Number #3724, “kopher.” Which means To Cover, Ranson, Sum of Money, Henna, Village. Those TOMBS were opened and those COFFINS’ seals of bitumen were broken and the PRECIOUS PEOPLE OF GOD WERE ONCE AGAIN RELEASED FROM THEIR ARKS and ALLOWED TO LIVE! Just like Noah and His Family and Moses! And on that Day, God’s People CAME OUT OF THEIR ARKS TOO in Jerusalem! Praise The King! The “Village” of that “graveyard” GOT SET FREE & REDEEMED! The Ransom Was Paid!

GOD HAS HAD US ON THIS RIGHT HERE! And We Are Still On!

Now, We Have A Part in The Intimacy Relationship With God!

“Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of KNOWING Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain) Christ (the Anointed One).” Philippians 3:8 (AMPC)

Even At The Time When The Ark Of The Covenant Was The Way To The LORD

“There I will meet with you and, from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim that are upon the ark of the Testimony, I will speak intimately with you of all which I will give you in commandment to the Israelites.” (Exodus 25:22 AMP)

Image by Unsplash

Throughout TIME from The Ark of The Covenant to NOW, God wants us to be CLOSE and INTIMATE with Him. HOW DO WE BECOME MORE INTIMATE AND DEEPER WITH GOD? WE TRUST HIM. WE TRUST HIM WITH ALL OUR HEARTS. We Don’t Lean On Our Own Understandings, Thoughts and Reasonings. We ACKNOWLEDGE HIM In All Our Ways. We ASK Him About EVERYTHING!

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV

“Trust in the Lord completely, and do not rely on your own opinions. With all your heart rely on him to guide you, and he will lead you in every decision you make. 6 Become intimate with him in whatever you do, and he will lead you wherever you go.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (TPT)

Then After Asking HIM About Anything and Everything, WE OBEY WHAT HE SAYS. We Do Not Do Our Lives In Our OWN WAY. We ASK HIM And Get HIS ANSWER and Do Not Do Things, Anything, Our Own Way. And yet, we see in The Passion Translation that HE SEES Our Asking and Seeking HIM FIRST On Everything In Our LIVES . . . And really see this Church! HE SEES Asking HIM FIRST . . . IN ALL OUR WAYS . . . As INTIMACY WITH HIM! Every Time that we TRUST HIM and ASK HIM FIRST on anything and everything of our lives, we are giving HIM our ATTENTION, we are giving HIM . . . OUR Honor, Showing Him that HE Is The Leader, The Master, The Authority and LORD Of Our Lives! (TPT) says, “Become INTIMATE WITH . . .” Which IS What The Lord Has Told Us To Pursue!

To Be MORE DEEPLY and INTIMATE With Him! PROGRESSIVELY BECOMING . . . MORE INTIMATELY ACQUAINTED With HIM!

“. . . progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him . . .” Philippians 3:8 (AMPC)

So Verse 6 of Proverbs 3, lets us know that when I am Asking and Acknowledging The Lord and Seeking Him about EVERYTHING and NOT Leaning On My Own Thoughts and Ways . . . I AM BECOMING INTIMATE WITH HIM! The LORD SEES my asking of Him and acknowledging Him and not leaning on what I think, NOT ME GOING ON what my opinions are. HE SEES me asking HIM FIRST . . . HE SEES that as INTIMACY!

AS STATED BEFORE . . . Every time that I did not or every time I do not Acknowledge HIM or ASK HIM and I lean on my own thinking, ideas and knowledge . . . I have NO INTIMACY With The LORD! For, I am living on my own without me acknowledging GOD and Doing Life My OWN WAY! Church, THIS IS A KINGDOM TRUTH and REVELATION, STRAIGHT FROM THE FATHER’S HEART and IT IS HIS WAY! And, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT WE THINK OR HAVE AN OPINION ON, EVEN IN THIS REVELATION! THIS IS HOW THE LORD SEES IT! THIS IS THE WORD! THIS IS THE WAY, HIMSELF! HE SEES Our OBEDIENCE TO HIS WORD As Our LOVE For Him.

“If you [really] love Me, you will keep and obey My commandments.” John 14:15 (AMPC)

CALLING THE ARKS!

When The Ark of The Covenant, or The Container of God’s Presence was now unrestricted, God was able now to not just be with one man, one time a year; He was now able to be with and in His People! He was now able to be mobile again within His People! And He was no longer confined to one container or Ark, The New Covenant allowed Him to be in many people, CONTAINERS in many places all at one time! Now we The People of God, The Church, The Bride of Christ are God’s Arks of the Covenant! We are His “Containers” that His Presence is carried in! We carry Him with us everywhere we go! We have Him IN us AT ALL TIMES!

And we can talk to Him and He can talk to us! He no longer is within the one Ark! He is in Covenant with us through Christ Jesus to do more, be in more places, get more done, save more people, heal more people, feed more people, DO MIRACULOUSLY MORE NOW THROUGH ALL OF US, AS HIS ARKS OR CONTAINERS!

“I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. 13 You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, so that the Son can bring glory to the Father.”

(JOHN 14:12-13 (NLT))

Jesus was letting us know, even here that with more Arks or Containers with God’s Presence walking around with God in them, we can do MORE or GREATER WORKS in this earth! What an awesome Plan and Planner God is! Truly, He is a Genius!

In the beginning of the Teaching Letter, we read about the coming of The Lord in Matthew 24:36-39 (AMP). Let’s look at that again. “But of that [exact] day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. 37 As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. . .”

The Word says in Genesis 6:12 (AMPC) that mankind was corrupt, cruel, brutal and violent, “And God looked upon the world and saw how degenerate, debased, and vicious it was, for all humanity had corrupted their way upon the earth and lost their true direction.” We are definitely witnessing a great move of people that truly are beginning to look like those described in the days of Noah and when they behave like this – “so will be the coming of the Son of Man.”

When Jesus returns He will gather His People that are born again and are carrying God’s Presence inside of them. He will gather the Arks or Containers, His People, carrying Him in them. The Arks of God will assemble together as One Body, His Body, all forming One Ark carrying The Presence of God, and will be raptured or “carried” to The Bridegroom, Jesus to be once and for all IN HIS PRESENCE! And this assembling of The Arks, God’s People who now carry The Covenant with them, will be safe from “The Flood” of Destruction that will happen.

As in the days of Noah, Noah preached and warned people of the coming flood. Noah was living with the people he was warning and constructing an ark, a container for them to be saved in. But none listened except for Noah’s family. Like Noah, we urge you today, receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and live for Him with all your heart!

Build a strong and sturdy Ark or Container within you. Serve Him, Love Him, Worship Him, Study Him and His Word, Follow Him and Obey Him AND GROW IN YOUR INTIMACY WITH HIM! And when it’s time for the great “carrying away” of The Ark, Jesus’ Body, made of God’s People when “The Flood” comes, you will be safe with The Lord forever!

Arks and Containers of God’s Presence and Covenant, this is your finest hour!

Are you needing to have peace in your life and you know it has to begin with getting your life right with God? Allow me to lead you to The One that Loves You SO MUCH! Just say this prayer and mean it with all your heart.

"Lord, forgive me. I am not where I need to be with You. I have been living my own way. Jesus I believe You died on a cross and rose from the dead for me. I confess, I am a sinner and I need a Savior. Jesus, please come into my life and save me. Please fill me with The Holy Spirit and Power and use my life, use me! I make You, Jesus The Lord of my life. I will follow You all the days of my life in Jesus Name!"

BUILDING UPDATE From Pastor Dewayne!

Hello all!

This is Pastor Dew. Just wanted to update you on the Construction!

We Praise THE LORD for HIS STRENGTH and WISDOM, for us as we MOVE FORWARD! Hallelujah!

We have just about all the rough in electrical finished and will start the plumbing rough in very soon. We made some changes also to the kitchen area which will make it a more worker friendly place. We are still awaiting the contractor to get free to dig a ditch and install pipe for the water supply to the Center. We are still working to get all the electrical and plumbing roughed in. Alan Lynch came up and helped us install a lot of the vent piping for the waste system. Still a little more to go and we can call the County inspector to come look and if everything looks good we will get to start the insulation/sound proofing of several walls.

Please Keep Praying for us as we continue to Build and continue fulfilling HIS WILL in this Mission. We are getting closer and closer. Each new step is very exciting!

FULL SUPPLY IS OUR FAITH.
In the JOY of The LORD.

ANNOUNCEMENT To The Body Of Christ!

The Lord has said TO ANNOUNCE that it is time for, “The Lord’s Offering!”

“And they came, each one whose heart stirred him up and whose spirit made him willing, and brought the Lord’s offering to be used for the [new] Tent of Meeting, for all its service, . . .” Exodus 35:21 (AMPC)

Whenever there was a Place of God that was to be built for The Lord AN ANNOUNCEMENT was made to God’s People that the OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE was at hand. Exodus tells us that, “Whoever is of a willing and generous heart, let him bring the Lord’s offering.” The Word of Life Center is being built In Hico, WV and Soon Another TWLC In Leland, NC for The King and His People and HE is Announcing that it is Time for His People Who Have A Willing and Generous Heart To Give For His Houses!

The KNOWING And Another GENERATION

In This Month of JULY 2025 The LORD would have me to tell You, Bride Of Christ . . . I hear The Spirit Say, “Your King and Bridegroom Loves You! HE Anticipates His Coming To Get You! He Longs For You and His Love Is Perfect For You! Nothing Can Separate You From HIS LOVE. HE And ALL OF HEAVEN IS EXCITED About Your Arrival! MUCH is Being Prepared For You There! SO MUCH! YOU ARE LOVED By LOVE, HIMSELF!” Hallelujah! Thank You Lord! We TOO are excited for The Coming Of You To Get Us! GLORY TO THE LORD JESUS!

HELLO Beloved Of God! We are going to be beginning this Month by watering our hearts and The Seed, the DEEP SEED that The LORD MINISTERED TO US ABOUT AND IS STILL MINISTERING TO US ABOUT! So, Let’s Get Right To It Beloved Of The LORD! Let’s HOVER OVER This Again! And RECEIVE THIS With ALL OUR HEARTS In Jesus Name!

“Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of KNOWING Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain) Christ (the Anointed One).” Philippians 3:8 (AMPC)

The Holy Spirit is Telling Us To GROW DEEPER and MORE INTIMATE NOW! To Seek HIM and “become MORE DEEPLY and INTIMATELY ACQUAINTED WITH HIM.” This is not for just when we are in Heaven with HIM! We are TOLD TO DO THIS NOW, Beloved of The Lord! Where we live NOW in Earth; INTIMACY with Him is required NOW!

THE RELATIONSHIP between us and HIM and the DEGREE OF CLOSENESS we are with Him IS DEPENDENT ON US. Jesus IS ALL IN In His Love For Us! There is NOTHING in this life and in this Earth that can compare to The LORD Our GOD and Our Walk and Relationship With The Lord Our God.

The KNOWING of HIM. The LOOKING at Him. The PERCEIVING of Him.

To BECOME AWARE of Him. To BE ATTENTIVE to Him. To be CONSCIOUS of Him.

To be SENSITIVE to Him. To be INTIMATE With Him. To RECOGNIZE Him.

To UNDERSTAND Him. To be ACQUAINTED WITH Him. To be INTRENCHED In Him.

MORE DEEPLY. MORE FULLY. MORE CLEARLY.

HOW DO WE BECOME MORE INTIMATE AND DEEPER WITH GOD?

Image by Unsplash

WE TRUST HIM. Yes, WE TRUST HIM WITH ALL OUR HEARTS. We Don’t Lean On Our Own Understandings, Thoughts and Reasonings. We ACKNOWLEDGE HIM In All Our Ways. We ASK Him About EVERYTHING! Then After Asking HIM About Anything and Everything, WE OBEY WHAT HE SAYS. We Do Not Do Our Lives In Our OWN WAY. We ASK HIM And Get HIS ANSWER and Do Not Do Things, Anything, Our Own Way.

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)

*TRUST HIM - DON’T LEAN ON OWN THINKING and OPINIONS. (Prov. 3:5)

*IN ALL WAYS ASK HIM, SEEK HIM - ASK HIS WILL ON - HE TELLS YOU and I WHAT TO DO and Then WE DO IT. (Proverbs 3:6)

“Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take.” Prov. 3:6 (NLT)

The Passion Translation (TPT) Proverbs 3:5-6 Says It Like This To Us.

Proverbs 3:5-6 (TPT)

(TPT) says, “Become INTIMATE WITH . . .” Which IS What The Lord Has Told Us To Pursue! To Be MORE DEEPLY and INTIMATE With Him! PROGRESSIVELY BECOMING . . . MORE INTIMATELY ACQUAINTED With HIM!

“ . . . progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him . . .” Philippians 3:8 (AMPC)

So Verse 6 of Proverbs 3 lets us know that when we are Asking and Acknowledging The Lord and Seeking Him about EVERYTHING and NOT Leaning On My Own Thoughts and Ways . . . I AM BECOMING INTIMATE WITH HIM!

The LORD SEES my asking of Him and acknowledging Him and not leaning on what I think, NOT ME GOING ON what my opinions are. . . HE SEES me asking HIM FIRST . . . HE SEES that as INTIMACY! WOW! WOW! WOW! Every time that I did not or every time I do not Acknowledge HIM or ASK HIM and I lean on my own thinking, ideas and knowledge . . . I have NO INTIMACY With The LORD! For, I am living on my own without me acknowledging GOD and Doing Life My OWN WAY! THIS IS A CRITICAL and WEIGHTY REVELATION, Church! And, IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT WE THINK OR HAVE AN OPINION ON EVEN IN THIS REVELATION! THIS IS HOW THE LORD SEES IT!

* HE SEES Our OBEDIENCE TO HIS WORD As Our LOVE For Him. “If you [really] love Me, you will keep and obey My commandments.” John 14:15 (AMPC)

* HE SEES Our Asking and Seeking HIM FIRST On Everything In Our LIVES . . . As INTIMACY WITH HIM!

Every Time that we TRUST HIM and ASK HIM FIRST on anything and everything of our lives, we are giving HIM our ATTENTION, we are giving HIM . . . OUR Honor, Showing Him that HE Is The Leader, The Master, The Authority and LORD Of Our Lives! We also come into THE PRESENCE Of The King with ALL THE OTHERS who are observing, magnifying and giving HIM THEIR ATTENTION in The Throne Room Of God!

“Each of the four living creatures had six wings and was covered with eyes all around, even under its wings. Day and night they never stop saying: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.” 9Whenever the living creatures give glory, honor and thanks to him who sits on the throne and who lives forever and ever, 10the twenty-four elders fall down before him who sits on the throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They lay their crowns before the throne and say: “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” Revelation 4:8-11 (NIV) GLORY!

And, in Seeking HIM and not ourselves and what WE THINK, we are setting ourselves up to HEAR HIS VOICE! To HEAR The Wisdom and Truth and Correctness to the Questions we ask and need for our lives! To truly KNOW what HE would want us to know about!

To know THE RIGHT ANSWERS!

To know THE RIGHT TIMING!

To know THE RIGHT DIRECTION!

“Yes, furthermore, I count everything as loss compared to the possession of the priceless privilege (the overwhelming preciousness, the surpassing worth, and supreme advantage) of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord and of progressively becoming more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him [of perceiving and recognizing and understanding Him more fully and clearly]. For His sake I have lost everything and consider it all to be mere rubbish (refuse, dregs), in order that I may win (gain) Christ (the Anointed One).” Philippians 3:8 (AMPC)

“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)

Another GENERATION

There are TIMES IN History that HISTORY MUST BE REPEATED TO THE NEXT GENERATION. And this next section of the Teaching has been directed by The Lord to do this and get this Truth out in OUR TIME. It is because IT IS TIME TO. The TIME has come back around in History and MANY OF HIS PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA OF THIS. This is not to bring ANY FEAR to you Beloved. This is to Prophetically INFORM YOU!

Just like when Jesus told us in Matthew 24, Luke 21 and Mark 13 Prophetically what would be taking place at that time, the near future and still yet IN OUR TIME. Jesus was speaking to them then and to us now to prophetically “inform” His People. Jesus was not telling us the “signs” because He was behind the “signs” or causing the “signs” of Matthew 24, Luke 21 and Mark 13. He was telling us what it would look like in these Days that we are living in. And Jesus needs THE GENERATIONS TO TELL EACH OTHER! Tell the People of God IN YOUR TIME and Tell Your CHILDREN and have them TELL THEIR CHILDREN! THIS IS JUST HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS BELOVED.

The Lord begins in the Book of Joel 1:1-4, 6-7, by giving us a Message about this People, God again calls, "The Locusts."

"The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. 2 Hear this, you aged men, and give ear, all you inhabitants of the land! Has such a thing as this occurred in your days or even in the days of your fathers? 3 Tell your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. 4 What the crawling locust left, the swarming locust has eaten; and what the swarming locust left, the hopping locust has eaten; and what the hopping locust left, the stripping locust has eaten. . . 6 “For a [heathen and hostile] NATION [of locusts, [illustrative of a human foe] has invaded My land, mighty and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it has the jaw teeth of a lioness. 7 It has laid waste My vine [symbol of God's people] and barked and broken My fig tree; it has made them completely bare and thrown them down; their branches are made white.”

TELL YOUR CHILDREN OF IT . . . AND LET YOUR CHILDREN TELL THEIR CHILDREN . . . AND THEIR CHILDREN ANOTHER GENERATION! TELL THE CHILDREN AND GENERATIONS . . .WHAT? TELL THEM ABOUT THE “[heathen and hostile] NATION [of LOCUSTS, [illustrative of a human foe] . . . !”

GOD, HIMSELF, THE WORD Is The One Who Is Calling This People, HE calls them a “HEATHEN and HOSTILE NATION OF LOCUSTS!” This is The Word Of God stating about these People in the PAST and telling us NOW in Our Generation to TELL IT AGAIN and TELL IT . . . OVER and OVER!

"The Locusts" will also destroy anyone who is not a “believer” in Muslim and their brutal ways in the future. And we see very clearly in Joel Chapter One, that God is identifying that these People He calls "Locusts" are to be talked about. In fact, God says to us,

"Hear this, you aged men, and give ear, all you inhabitants of the land! Has such a thing as this occurred in your days or even in the days of your fathers? 3 Tell your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. (Joel 1:2-3)

God is communicating to us to LISTEN! LISTEN YOUNG AND OLD! NO SUCH THINGS HAS EVER OCCURRED LIKE THIS! TELL YOUR CHILDREN AND HAVE THEM TO TELL WHAT "THE LOCUSTS" HAVE DONE IN THE PAST AND NOW IN THESE LAST DAYS . . . WHAT THEY WILL DO! YOU MUST NOT FORGET WHAT THEY HAVE DONE IN THE PAST! YOU MUST NOT FORGET WHAT THEY DO TO PEOPLE! OR, YOU WILL NOT RECOGNIZE THEM AND KNOW WHO THEY ARE RIGHT NOW IN OUR DAYS, THESE LAST DAYS WE’RE IN CHURCH!

And we would know by what we saw around us AND read in The Bible to what Time we we’re living in. Jesus told us in the midst of the “signs” of these End Times something that we all have to keep before our hearts, our minds and our eyes and that is DO NOT FEAR!

“See that you are not frightened, for those things must take place, but that is not yet the end [of the age].” Matthew 24:6 (AMP)

Joel 1:6-7 (AMPC) it reads, “For a [heathen and hostile] nation [of locusts, illustrative of a human foe] has invaded My land, mighty and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it has the jaw teeth of a lioness. 7 It has laid waste My vine [symbol of God's people] and barked and broken My fig tree; it has made them completely bare and thrown them down; their branches are made white.” (CROSS REFERENCE Revelation 9:7-8)

REVELATION GENERATION

When you are looking at The Bible, you will normally find cross references when you are reading some verses that tell you the parallel verses that go with the verse you are reading. When one is reading in Joel 1:6 the cross reference that it tells you to go to is Revelation 9:7-8. The Book of Revelation came to us in the Bible through The Holy Spirit in a Heavenly experience that was given to the Apostle John while he was on the Island of Patmos. Jesus told John that He wanted to show John things in the FUTURE! What was shown to John was FOR OUR GENERATION! Really get this Church! It was for a GENERATION in THE FUTURE! IT IS FOR US! When Israel, (The Fig Tree) became a Nation, sprouted up in Matthew 24:32-34 THIS GENERATION WILL NOT PASS AWAY!

“From the fig tree learn this lesson: as soon as its young shoots become soft and tender and it puts out its leaves, you know of a surety that summer is near. ³³So also when you see these signs, all taken together, coming to pass, you may know of a surety that He is near, at the very doors. ³⁴Truly I tell you, this generation (the whole multitude of people living at the same time, in a definite, given period) will not pass away till all these things taken together take place.” MATTHEW 24:32-34 (AMPC)

When you turn to Revelation Chapter 9 we find that The Apostle John was describing what The Lord showed him when the fifth angel blew his trumpet (verse one.) We see in verse three that, “Then out of the smoke locusts came forth on the earth, and such power was granted them as the power the earth's scorpions have. . . .(Verse 7) “The locusts resembled horses equipped for battle. On their heads was something like golden crowns. Their faces resembled the faces of people.”

Ok, are we starting to see WHO these “locusts” are that God is telling us about both in Joel and in Revelation. God IS NOT TALKING ABOUT AN INSECT COMING AGAINST HIS PEOPLE! God is describing A PEOPLE that will rise up against His Children and He describes them as locusts! This Group of People will have a forming as a Nation! Masses of amounts of people. Remember, God told us in Joel 1:6-7 (AMP),

“For a [heathen and hostile] nation [of locusts, illustrative of a human foe] has invaded My land, mighty and without number; its teeth are the teeth of a lion, and it has the jaw teeth of a lioness. 7 It has laid waste My vine [symbol of God's people] and barked and broken My fig tree; it has made them completely bare and thrown them down; their branches are made white.” And in Revelation 9:3,7 we clearly see, “Then out of the smoke locusts came forth on the earth, and such power was granted them as the power the earth's scorpions have. . . .7 “The locusts resembled horses equipped for battle. On their heads was something like golden crowns. Their faces resembled the faces of people.”

The locusts are PEOPLE! Not insects or a pestilence formed to come against God’s People . . . No! It’s a PEOPLE, it’s a “[heathen and hostile] nation [of locusts, illustrative of a human foe].”

When you look up “grasshopper” in Hebrew in Strong’s #0697 you find “arbeh” which translates to locusts both meaning of the same, grasshopper means locusts (0697). Then when you continue looking deeper into this word, you find Strong’s #7235 “rabah,” which means to increase in number. And then on to 7232 which means rabab – to shoot an arrow, then 7231 – to cast together and increase in number.

Now that we know that the locusts are not insects that God is warning us about and that it is a People, we must now answer the question, So, WHO are the locusts? First we must begin with Ishmael. He is recognized as an important prophet and patriarch of Islam. He came from Hagar, the handmaiden of Sarah and Abraham. Ishmael is recognized by Muslims as the ancestor of several prominent Arab tribes and being the forefather of Muhammad, the Muslim prophet.

Then in Judges 7:12 we find that,

“And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.”

The Midianites come from Abraham’s other wife, Keturah that he took after Sarah died. Keturah and Abraham had six sons; Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah. The Amalekites are descendants of Esau, the twin of Jacob, who latter was named Israel! They were the twins of Issac, Abraham’s son. Amalek is a son of Esau's first-born son Eliphaz, from where the Amalekites come from. And the children of the east, is just that, the people living in the Eastern part of the World. And the Bible says that they are like “grasshoppers” which also means LOCUSTS.

So, let’s put this together. Ishmael, the Midianites and the Amalekites are all descendants of Abraham. God said Ishmael would be a great Nation and he was an archer. The Midianites and the Amalekites came through Abraham too! The Bible says that these two are “like grasshoppers for multitude!” And all the descendants from these three are related and a part of the Religion of Islam!

We have No fear! Fear is a spirit! So What Do We Do? We Do What The Word Says!

“Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and we can see that the Lord is wanted us all to know that, petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.⁷And God’s peace shall be yours, ” Philippians 4:6-7 (AMPC)

"Finally, believers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable and worthy of respect, whatever is right and confirmed by God’s word, whatever is pure and wholesome, whatever is lovely and brings peace, whatever is admirable and of good repute; if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think continually on these things [center your mind on them, and implant them in your heart].” Philippians 4:8 (AMP)

“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.” Romans 12:2 (NKJV)

“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” 2 Corinthians 10:5 (KJV)

"Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the Enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.” Luke 10:19 (AMPC)

"Lord, forgive me. I am not where I need to be with You. I have been living my own way. Jesus, I believe You died on a cross and rose from the dead for me. I confess, I am a sinner and I need a Savior. Jesus, please come into my life and save me. Please fill me with The Holy Spirit and Power and use my life, use me! I make You, Jesus The Lord of my life. I will follow You all the days of my life in Jesus Name!"

The Shepherd's Corner

Hello Disciples!

We look forward to Discipleship this Month of July with anticipation. And we are in expectation of Hearing From The Lord as we seek Him for what He has for us. As we partake in the study of God’s Word, we learn that it is important to lean in and hear from Him. This is what being a Disciple is all about. Although it may take practice in listening and to stay diligent, we will become sensitive to His Voice.

And as we continue to look at how essential it is to Become MORE Deeply and Intimately Acquainted with The Lord as Philippians 3:8 (AMPC) tells us, we begin the process of Changing into that Disciple that hears His Voice clearly.

If you are not a part of our Discipleship Class, we would love to have you join us. Contact us At https://www.jamiecarte.org/discipleship/

BUILDING UPDATE From Pastor Dewayne!

BUILDING THE LORD A HOUSE!

Hello all!

This is Pastor Dew. Just wanted to update you on the Construction!

ALL of our framing in the Entry is complete except for the bathrooms and we made a couple changes. We moved our stairs to the second floor area out to the kitchen wall which gave us a huge storage area beside the kitchen. We Praise THE LORD for HIS STRENGTH and WISDOM, for us as we MOVE FORWARD! Hallelujah!

We have just about all the rough in electrical finished and will start the plumbing rough in very soon. We made some changes also to the kitchen area which will make it a more worker friendly place.

West Virginia American Water just set our water meter for TWLC and we have accepted a quote for the water line to be dug and put into The Center. Just awaiting the Contractor to get free to dig ditch and install pipe.

As soon as we get all the electrical and plumbing roughed in we will call the County Inspector to come look and if everything looks good we will get to start on the insulation/sound proofing of several walls.

Please Keep Praying for us as we continue to Build and continue fulfilling HIS WILL in this Mission. IT’S SO EXCITING TO SEE GOD MOVING!

WE ARE GRATEFUL!

FULL SUPPLY IS OUR FAITH!

In the JOY of The LORD.

PASTOR Dew

ANNOUNCEMENT To The Body Of Christ!

The Lord has said TO ANNOUNCE that it is time for, “The Lord’s Offering!”

“And they came, each one whose heart stirred him up and whose spirit made him willing, and brought the Lord’s offering to be used for the [new] Tent of Meeting, for all its service, . . .” Exodus 35:21 (AMPC)

Whenever there was a Place of God that was to be built for The Lord AN ANNOUNCEMENT was made to God’s People that the OPPORTUNITY TO GIVE was at hand. Exodus tells us that, “Whoever is of a willing and generous heart, let him bring the Lord’s offering.” The Word of Life Center is being built In Hico, WV and Soon Another TWLC In Leland, NC for The King and His People and HE is Announcing that it is Time for His People Who Have A Willing and Generous Heart To Give For His Houses!

Thank You So Much For Praying & Giving!
