I dozed off about 12:45, a quarter to one.  About 3 o'clock I heard somebody come into the room. And I jumped up, leaning up in the bed because I thought maybe one of the brothers needed prayer, or something was wrong.  And I felt such a peace.  I couldn't see anybody.  I felt such a peace.  And I just laid back down and prayed a moment or two.  Closed my eyes and prayed a moment or two for whatever the need was, because if the Lord wakes you up, and you know it's the Lord waking you up, there's a need.  So I prayed, "Lord, if it's at home, my wife, my children, my church people, or if it's the need here or some terrible plot is being carried out, you know, would you undertake and move!"

And all of a sudden, I began to smell the sweetest fragrance.  It just filled the room while my eyes were still closed.  And when I opened my eyes again, I saw the Angel of the Lord standing about four feet from the end of my bed, and He was walking towards me.  And I felt Him when He bumped the end of the bed.  My bed moves real easy, and I felt the Angel of the Lord when His leg pushed the bed against the wall.  It moved the whole bed as He stood close to the bed.

And I appreciate His visitation so very much!  And the Words that He spoke, I appreciate them. And I want to do it!  I want to do what the Lord would have me to do.

And so I have known His Presence then from that moment on.  He just stays close.  I felt Him in the service this morning.  I just appreciate that He loves us enough to come to us, even when we don't see Him.

It was about three o’clock in the morning.  And I heard a noise in the bedroom.  And I thought that one of the brothers had a need or something that had come up and wanted me to pray and had come into the room.

I raised up off the bed, and the door was still closed.  And I sensed if one of them had come in... wasn’t likely that they had... but if they had, they would have left the door open.  And the door was closed.

I closed my eyes again.  And I began to smell... I know I’ve smelled Him before... and all of a sudden sense His fragrance.

And if you believe that’s not Bible, I’ll show you in the Bible where the Bible said, where the Bride comes forth leaning on her Beloved, she comes forth with His perfume.  Now if He’s got perfume, He’s got a fragrance.

I smelled that sweet fragrance, my eyes still closed, ready to try to go back to sleep.  I smelled that sweet fragrance in the room.  And I sensed again that someone was coming towards me.

And with my eyes closed, only sensing His fragrance in the room, I literally felt something, someone bump the bed at my feet and push it against the wall where it had slipped down into the night.

And immediately I opened my eyes.  And for the first time in a long time, I saw there in vision standing the Angel of the Lord.  And I immediately began to weep.  It was so wonderful and so precious and so awesome.

And it might have even been then that the thought came to me... because it came real quick, “When I could not go to where He was, He came to me.”

And it was a privilege.  I’ve experienced it many times in years past.  But it’s a privilege that’s overwhelmed me.

And without going into a lot... and not knowing exactly what I want to share and what I don’t want to share yet... I won’t say too much, except that He spoke such precious words.  And would you think I was being corny or something if I said it was like honey?  His words were so sweet and so precious.  I think I saw Him clearer than I’ve ever seen Him before... enough to make out most of His features.

And to see Him in Jerusalem was a special blessing for me.  The first time I had a vision like that in Jerusalem.  And the only thing I would want to say is what I shared with the congregation in Jerusalem.  And that is... He promised to meet us in a very special way here (Alabama) this winter.

And I’d like to share more, but I can’t just this second.  In fact, I started sharing it as I took the pulpit in Jerusalem.  And the anointing and the Presence of the Lord came so sweet.  I was weeping as I told it.  Such a sweet Presence of the Lord.

And then I was telling too much.  And all of a sudden I felt that anointing lift.  My tears dried up.  I felt nothing.  And I moved on and preached.  And that really stayed in my mind then.  I said something to the brothers.  I said, “See, I was sharing it and going to tell.  And all of a sudden I was about to say a little bit more.  It wasn’t time, or wasn’t the place.  And that anointing just lifted.”

Get your eyes off the world.
Get your eyes off of the things that are going on around you.
Shut your ears to the things that the devil would howl at you
and His accusations against you
and tune your eyes upon Him and your ears upon His voice.

For God will have a people in the last days
who will hear the call of the Spirit,
Come out of her, My people.
Come out of Babylon.
Return to the City of God.
Come back to the Mountain of the Lord.
And I will dwell with you in the tabernacles.
I will dwell with you in the succa.
I shall be your God, and you shall be My people.
That is His promise to us.
We’ve got a lot to be thankful for this morning.

Could we just lift our hands and give the God of eternity glory.
We glorify you, Y'shua.
We glorify You.  Hallelujah!
We magnify Your Holy Name.
Y'shua.  Y'shua.  Y'shua.  Y'shua.  Y'shua.
We exalt you in this place.
We magnify and sanctify Your Holy Name.
Hallelujah. (tongues)

Hear the Word of the Lord.
Hear the Word of the Lord and take your harp down off of the willow
and begin to practice again the songs of Zion.
Sing them again.
Sing them again for your exile is almost over.
Your dispersion is almost over.
Your Diaspora is almost over.
For I’ll bring you back to My Holy Hill
and establish you in Zion, said the Lord.
Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.

Begin to practice the songs of Zion,
the songs of praise.
Begin to rehearse the songs of victory,
the songs of joy.
Rehearse among the people the shouts of the King.
Oh yes, hallelujah.  Hallelujah.

For we will dwell with Mashiach in this Holy Hill.
It’s His Word, His Promise.
Hallelujah.
Out of Babylon.  Out of Babylon.  Into Zion.
Oh, yes.

For the Lord said,
It is My desire to take from you the thoughts of Babylon.
For too long My people have thought the thoughts of exile.
They have not thought like those who have been established in My Word and in My Land,
but they have thought the thoughts of the Babylonians.
Yea, they have thought like those who have been dispersed.
But I, the Lord thy God, shall bring you home, saith the Lord.
Yea, my people, you shall come home in Me.
And I shall give you the thoughts of Zion,
not the thoughts of Babylon,
not the thoughts of exile.
But I shall give you the thoughts of Zion, saith the Lord.
For the Word of the Lord shall go forth from Zion
into the uttermost parts of the world.
And a remnant shall be called.
Yea, she shall leave, yea, leave the place of comfort,
the place of familiarity,
and she shall come home to Me, saith the Lord.
Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.

She shall not fear or dread man.
She shall not fear the repercussion or the punishment of man,
but she shall hear My Voice and depart from idolatry
and stand with Me in My Holy Hill by My Spirit, saith the Lord.
Hallelujah.

For I’m making up My jewels.
I’m calling My remnant forth.
And she shall know Me, and she shall be strong in My power.
I’m breaking down the spirits of witchcraft, saith the Lord,
the spirits of rebellion and stubbornness.
For I shall not have a people who are stiff necked and hard hearted.
But I shall have a people, saith the Lord,
with a heart that I can write My Word in.
With My own finger I shall write My Word into her heart, saith the Lord.
Hallelujah.

I shall wash her mind.
Yea, I shall wash her and purify her thoughts.
For I shall give her by My Spirit a mikveh, saith the Lord,
and shall purify her from the ways of Babylon, from the ways of exile.
She shall know the truth, and the truth will set her free.
Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.  (tongues)

Do not fear to make a stand, saith the Lord.
Do not fear.
For I shall strengthen your backbone, saith God.
Even when you are weary, I shall cause your back to be straight, saith the Lord.
I shall cause your face to be set like a flint,
even against the howling mob.
Yea, I shall cause you to be established in the Word of the Lord.
And My Word shall go forth from your mouth.
And it shall accomplish that which it is sent forth to do.
For I shall even cause the enemy and those who follow him
to be like stubble before you
and the Word of the Lord like a fire in your mouth, saith God.

Do not be afraid to speak up for righteousness.
Do not be afraid to establish and witness for the truth.
For I shall give you divine appointments, saith the Lord,
and you shall know that it is Me.

For I am not finished with the church, saith the Lord.
No, I have almost come to a close, but I am not yet finished with her.
For the hour is near, saith God, that I shall turn from the church,
and I shall cause My mercy to be extended again to the lost House of Israel.
But, yea, I am not finished with her just yet.
And I shall go forth among her by My Spirit
and call her forth, saith the Lord.
Many shall leave the place where she has dwelt so long.
Many shall leave the things that she has walked in and lived in for so long
and walk in present truth.

For I shall cause a light to shine upon My Word as never before.
Yea, it shall be a lonely path, but I shall promise, with my blessing, reward.
I shall comfort her along the way.
And when I have finished with My remnant and My Bride, saith the Lord,
then, then, then shall I send a great and a mighty outpouring of My Spirit upon this Land.
But even as I am visiting My church, calling out My Bride,
I shall continue to bring the exiles from all the four corners of the earth
and establish them in the land of Israel.

For I, the Lord thy God, would say unto thee,
I shall never suffer the heathen to wrestle it from her hand.
For I have given it unto her, saith God.
Yea, it shall seem like in the Spirit a tug of war.
Many shall look upon the things that are reported in the world,
and they shall see My people pulling,
yea, and the enemy of God pulling.
And you may wonder in your heart from time to time who’s winning.
But I say unto thee, it is not important this hour who seems to be ahead.
For I have said that My people shall be the head and not the tail.
I have said that I will prosper them and give them the Land.
And I shall keep My Word and My Covenant.

Do not be discouraged. Do not be political, saith the Lord.
But keep your eyes on Me.
For I shall bring the exile home.
Yea, I shall empty Russia, saith the Lord,
and bring forth My people from the north of her, even to the south of her.
Yea, I shall bring My people from every province,
from every place that she has been scattered.

Yea, the Lord would say unto thee,
There shall come the greatest exodus of Spanish speaking people.
For I shall bring My elect that has been scattered among the Spanish nations of the world.
They shall come home to Israel.
I shall establish them in the Land as I am pouring out My glory upon My people,
upon My church and calling forth My Bride.
Yea, I shall be working simultaneously calling the exiles home.
And the greatest exodus of My people has not yet come,
for it is just ahead.

Oh, I am repositioning now.
I am preparing now to change the government, saith the Lord.
I’m preparing now to bring down leaders
and to raise up leaders that My hand is upon.
For soon Israel shall open up her gates
and shall welcome home, saith the Lord, those that have scattered across the world.
I shall not let governments stop it, saith the Lord.
Neither shall I let bureaucracy or red tape hinder My Word from coming forth.
For I shall even call the darkest skin home, saith the Lord, without prejudice.
I shall establish even the dark skinned in this Land like never before.
She shall be filled with those that I have chosen.
And nothing shall stand, saith the Lord, nothing will stand in My way.
Not the seed of Ishmael, saith God.
Neither the Jew who has stiffened His neck and hardened his heart
and turned from the God of his fathers.
None, saith the Lord, shall hinder My Word from coming to pass in this Holy Place.
Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.

For the Lord would say unto thee again,
yea, the Lord would have you to know
that I shall begin quickly to make a change, saith the Lord,
in the spirit of terrorism in the world.
I shall cause the masterminds, those full of hate and venom,
to be brought down, saith the Lord.
Many of them shall begin to meet their just reward.
For I am a God that does not lie.
Yea, the Lord would say unto thee,
There shall even be a change soon as terrorism shall break forth
in nations that have never been touched by it.
And what it will cause, saith the Lord, is a shifting in the government.
And many, instead of pulling away, will begin to stand firmer.
And by doing so, it shall bring justice, saith the Lord, for this world.
Surely, troublesome times will be upon this Land.
It is My Promise.  I have already spoken it.

But yea, the Lord would also say unto thee,
I shall not allow the times to become so hard
and so wicked that My people cannot go forth
and do the things that I have called them to do.

Yea, the Lord would say unto thee,
I shall make mountains low and crooked paths straight
for My people to go forth from nation to nation and do the will of the Lord.

Yea, the Lord would say unto thee,
Watch close.  Watch very, very close.
For I say unto thee, even in the next few months,
there shall be great changes and repositionings in governments.
There shall be tragedies.
There shall be great outbursts even in places that have never known the sting of terror.
They shall know it, but it is My hand allowing it.
And I shall get glory from it in the end.
For there shall be something that the world has never known.
There shall be a move of My Spirit in nations that have been shrouded with false religion,
with the strongholds of Islam, saith the Lord.
I shall penetrate the darkness.
I shall go behind the veil and reveal Myself.
And all of these things will come to pass
because of the things that I have spoken unto you this day.

Rejoice, My people, and come with Me, saith the Lord.
Come with Me, saith the Lord.
(tongues) Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.

I saw just then in the Spirit, a great shaking among the Hassidim.
I saw God beginning to reveal and expose the filthiness and the perversion
that has been hidden among the Hassidic people in this Land.
I saw the Lord beginning to expose.
Because there is a remnant of people there who want the righteousness of God.
But I saw in the Spirit that they have been overtaken with secret sins.
And some of it ugly and dark and black.
And it shall begin to surface as never before.
It shall be seen in the news.
It shall be talked about from house to house.
Do not be afraid and do not even be shaken, saith the Lord.
But know that it is Me, that I am doing it.

It shall cause men’s faith to be shaken.
It shall cause their confidence in rabbis to be shaken.
And it shall cause them to search for something more.
I shall turn them, saith the Lord, from the false religions of Eastern mysticism
that have invaded their ranks.
And I shall cause them to know the power of My Holy Spirit.
They shall know and feel and experience My Presence as never before.
And all of these shakings and repositionings and shiftings
shall bring about the preparation that is needed for great revival in this Land.

For the Lord would say unto thee,
those who fight it now and oppose it will one day be those who push it forth.
Yea, those who despise the very name of Y'shua shall one day embrace the name
and publish it throughout the world, saith the Lord.
For I shall tear down the enemies of the Messiah.
And I shall cause the people to be loosed out from under their evil hand.
And you shall know it, and you shall know it’s the season,
when I begin to uncover and uncover.

Yea, and it shall not only reach throughout this Land,
but through other lands, saith the Lord, where the Hassidim are concentrated.
There shall be great shiftings and changes.

Yea, I say unto thee again, that many rabbis who have stood in the way
and would not go in and would not let people go in,
I shall move them from the scene.
And yea, I shall even cause their graves to be a reproach to the people
instead of a place of prayer and worship.
For there shall come a real eye opening.
And My people will be here and live to see it, saith the Lord,
for it is nigh at hand.
Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.

Yea, the Lord would say unto thee,
America shall never be righteous again,
for My hand has been withdrawn in many ways, saith the Lord, from her.
And as a nation, she shall never be exalted in righteousness again.

But I say unto thee, that I shall have a remnant of people who will hear the Word of the Lord,
and they shall know that I am God.
And they shall come with Me into the Feast of Tabernacles, saith the Lord.
But yea, I, the Lord thy God, would say unto thee,
I shall stand in this hour.
And I shall perform the miraculous.
And yea, I will not suffer, saith the Lord,
I will not allow the government of America to be left without a witness.
And I, the Lord thy God, shall leave My witness in place, saith the Lord,
for My Word to be established.
And yea, it shall not be the end of troubles,
nor the end of filthiness and violence.
But yea, I shall do it as a testimony to the power of prayer.
For I will, saith the Lord, change the policy of America toward Israel.
I shall bring down judges who have spoken against her,
and I shall conquer those in Congress who have voted against her.

And yea, the Lord would say unto thee,
My judgments shall fall upon the United Nations.
I shall bring judgment upon those men and women
who have exalted themselves to the place of gods.
And I shall do My work without them, saith the Lord.
For there will be a people who will not fear the word that comes forth from her.
There will be a people who will move in the timing of the Lord.
For this is the days of acceleration.
And I shall move quickly to bring My Word to pass.
And you shall know that I am not slow to do My will in this hour.
It shall come quickly, saith God.
Hallelujah.  Hallelujah.  (tongues) Hallelujah.

But I saw this beautiful...  What did we decide to call it?  Not a diadem, but what did we say we were going to call it?  A scepter.  A beautiful scepter appeared before my eyes.  I was standing at the barrier wall of the Kotel, and a beautiful scepter appeared in a diagonal position between me and the Kotel.

And I saw this beautiful liquid begin to drip off the tip of the scepter.  And my first thought was it was oil.  But I saw that it was dripping very slowly.  And it wasn’t dripping off like oil at all.  And the Spirit of revelation came, and I realized that it was honey.  It was honey that was dripping off of that scepter.

And it was special, because I remember the story of Jonathan in the woods.  How many of you remember the story of Jonathan when the people, the armies, had become so weak from all their fasting in the war.  And Saul in all of his hatefulness had declared that no one should be allowed to eat or drink anything, but to stay in the battle.

And Jonathan came to a field in the woods.  And honey was dripping out of the trees.  And he took his staff and dipped it down in the honey and tasted it.  And the army began to scream at him, and they said, “You can’t do that.  Don’t you know your father Saul has placed a curse on anyone who would eat or drink until the battle is won?”

And Jonathan, the Bible said, as soon as he tasted that honey, he became enlightened.  His spiritual eyes were opened, and he began to see his father for who he really was.  And he began to tell the people that his father had oppressed the people of Israel too long, and it was time.  All these years, Jonathan had done everything that he could to defend his father and to be loyal to his father.  And he was never willing to admit that his father could be blamed for some of the peril that was going on in the land of Israel.

But as soon as he tasted that honey, he recognized that his father was the one who was standing in the way of the people from being what God had ordained him to be.

As I was standing there, and I saw this honey dropping down off of this scepter, it reminded me of that call that was going up from the elders, “Don’t eat the honey!”  And it reminded me of how the rabbis are keeping people so far away from some of the things that we would like for them to hear and to discern and to understand.

And when people begin to find out there’s more than rabbinical Judaism, that the Messiah has come, the rabbis are always there... many of them to say, “Don’t eat the honey!  Don’t eat the honey!  Don’t eat the honey!”

But as I was standing there, I just began to pray, “Oh God, if You just let one person, just one person dare to defy the edict of the rabbis and taste that honey for himself, his eyes would be enlightened, and he would see the Message of the Endtime, and he would want to share it with somebody else.

It’s hard to enjoy honey all by yourself when you’re standing in a crowd of hungry people.  You just want to share it.  And if somebody licks their lips enough, and you smell it, you want some of it.

I see God getting ready to do that, and I’m so privileged and so honored to have a small part in what the Lord is doing in the Endtime, not only here (in Alabama), but in the Land of the Bible.  It’s just the blessings of the Lord.
