Dear Friends in Y'shua,
Many of you have been anxiously awaiting for the Lord to
give Pastor Shelley the final trance vision in a divinely promised
three-part series. (The first two visions are described here:
http://www.jerusalemrevival.com/vision_1-01.jsp.)
I am excited to report to you that this long awaited
event came close to happening Sunday night, October 9!
Revelations during Sunday night
service in Alabama, October 9, 2005
During the worship in the first part of the service,
Pastor Shelley got revelation after revelation, which he wrote down
as they came. When the service was turned over to him, the Presence
of the Lord continued to be felt as he sang and led some songs the Spirit
put on his heart. It was obvious that the Lord was giving him
visions during this time because he would close his eyes and be quiet while
the congregation continued to worship (I was watching in Jerusalem via
computer streaming).
Later he said that he broke several visions because he
felt that if he yielded to them, it would have produced a very long evening
and by the Spirit he did not think that this was the time to yield all the
way. He believed that the long awaited trance
vision could have happened then, but that God preferred to just prepare
everyone that it is coming very soon.
He then shared some of the revelations that he
received. (Direct quotes from Pastor Shelley are in italics.)
He saw a Covenant line being drawn
by the Holy Ghost. He said that it’s time to cross over
the line now and accept His Covenant will for us. Pastor
Shelley has been teaching from the weekly Torah portions that the Jewish
people read. The whole book of Deuteronomy is God's Covenant with
the children of Israel, including Gentile believers in Y'shua - the
strangers in their midst who have been grafted into the olive tree of
Israel.
We cannot expect to partake of the blessings of the
Covenant without obedience to it. There are also curses promised to
those who disobey the instructions of the Covenant. The Holy Spirit
has been gradually and carefully leading Pastor Shelley into understanding
how to interpret each stipulation of God's Covenant. It is
basically our Marriage Contract, which was given further understanding by
our Bridegroom when He walked on the earth and is being revealed further by
the Holy Spirit in our day.
The Lord told Pastor Shelley,
"Tonight I’m calling heaven to witness the line that’s being drawn."
He is calling heaven to witness this promise that He is
making to us and that that He is requiring of us for this new season.
The congregation there just came to a unanimous decision to
discontinue their Sunday evening service (which is a staunch Pentecostal
tradition) and have a Saturday night evangelistic service instead which
would begin at 6:00 PM while it is still Shabbat.
God said, "I am
pleased." And He spoke so sweetly to my spirit that we
have pleased Him because we have stretched ourselves beyond tradition
and we’ve made a good decision. And God said,
"I’m going to use the decision of rearranging your services."
Because it requires more than a change of times. It requires
a change of our lives.
The Lord said, "It’s a prophetic
act to establish in the spiritual realm that the order of the priesthood is
changing" - the promise that God has been giving us over and
over through the years that the last ministry of the End-time would
be a change, and that the Spirit would not operate among us in the order of
the Levites, but it would operate among us in the order of Zadok.
What’s so special about those Zadok priests? Immediately,
by the Spirit of God, they are able to discern between that which is good
for them and that which is not. What could be greater than the
supernatural leadership of the Lord in your life?
So I’m laying something in the ground. I’m
laying tradition in the ground. I’m laying everything that is unlike
Him – religion – I’m laying all of that behind me. I want to
move into that relationship, that oneness. Listen, you’ve gotta lose
a lot of you. You’ve gotta lose a lot of Churchanity.
You’ve gotta lose a lot of things that are dear and precious to you if you
truly come into that oneness, into that invisible union of the Bride and
the Bridegroom.
He spoke to me about the Seven
Thunders, sitting there, clearly. Refer to our past
e-mail, "Update from Jerusalem - Great Change Is Coming! (June/July
2005)," for more revelation about the Seven Thunders of the Book of the
Revelation.
He said He would soon remove us
from the oven and let us set up on the counter. When
you take a cake or a roast out of the oven, you have to let it "set up" or
rest for a while. The temperature actually continues to rise a bit
and it continues to cook, but it is a setting up process. I think
it’s just good to know God’s going to let me spend some time out of the
oven.
I saw that counter like a platform that had legs on
it. And it reminded me of something that Bro. Branham said when
he talked about that little Bride being put on that pedestal and on
display. How wonderful it would be if God would bring us to the
place where He had something in us that He could display, that He could
show forth.
For more detailed excerpts from what
Pastor Shelley shared go to:
http://www.revival.org/sermon.jsp?id=831
To summarize, here is exactly what he said regarding
the awaited vision:
Four or five times I felt myself moving into vision
again. I broke the vision and I’ll tell you why. Because I sensed
that if I yielded, it would have taken us into a long meeting – longer than
what we’ve been in. And I sensed in my spirit that God was just
preparing me for something. I want to say this again.
You’re tired of hearing it. I want to say again – I believe that
it’s very near. I believe it’s very near that God is
going to show us something that we’ve been praying about.
I believe it’s very near.
I believe I could say that it could have been
tonight. But I do not believe that it’s a part of what we have
known on this side of that line. I believe that it is a part of
what we’re going to know on the other side of that line.
Hallelujah. Now you better make up your mind to get over there where
He is. If there’s resistance in your spirit, you better lay it
down. If there’s slackness in your spiritual life, you better lay it
down. If you’re still full of argument and criticism, you better
lay it down.
Some thoughts about
Succot
We are now entering the time of Succot (the Feast of
Tabernacles) which starts the evening of October 17th and ends October
25th with Simchat Torah (the Rejoicing of the Law). Last year in an
update I shared that Y'shua was born around the time of Succot -
probably in a succa (temporary booth).
Christmas is a pagan feast day dressed up to be
"Christian" and it isn't even close to the time when Y'shua was
born! Pastor Shelley preached a wonderful 2-part message on
this subject which you can read online from his website at:
http://www.revival.org/sermon.jsp?id=788 (12/12/2004 AM - The Birth
of Jesus at Succot - Part 1)
http://www.revival.org/sermon.jsp?id=789 (12/12/2004 PM - The Birth
of Jesus at Succot - Part 2)
In this message he gives the Biblical proof for
determining when Y'shua was born. So if you
have a desire to commemorate both His First Coming and His soon-to-be
Second Coming, they are both represented in the Feast of Succot.
Why celebrate using a pagan feast and pagan traditions
when God has given a Biblical precedent that the devil stole from the
Church?
Selah! (Pause and calmly think about that.)
Open Doors in Iceland
Pastor Shelley had planned to be in Jerusalem for Succot,
but God set up a divine appointment for him in Iceland. In July, he
went by invitation to the Omega TV studios in Iceland to preach to the
local believers as well as to all of Iceland via TV and to Europe, the
Middle East and Western Asia via satellite on The Gospel Channel.
He has been invited back for October 24 - November 3 to preach also via
cable to the UK and to tape messages that can be played after he
leaves. This is a very wonderful door that the Lord has opened
for God's anointed End-time Message to go forth into the Nations before
the Lord returns.

Thank You for Your

We appreciate all of you who have given financially to
help us to be able to keep a ministry base in Jerusalem. All of
our sowing here over the years is about to bring forth an abundant harvest

due November 15th and we could sure use your help! Perhaps
you could consider taking some of what you would normally spend on
Christmas presents and send it to Jerusalem for Succot! I know
that the Lord would be pleased and would consider it part of stepping over
the line from man's tradition to accept His Covenant!

CD of live spontaneous worship from Jerusalem entitled,
"Coming Out From the Shadows, Revealed In Your Bride."
Details for giving donations are at the end of this e-mail.
Final Thoughts
Needless to say, I am very excited that we are so close to
the fulfillment of some of God's promises. We wait and wait and wait
and wonder why it seems to take so long to see the manifestation of God's
promises, and then suddenly the fog lifts and we begin to see things
starting to come together! I assure you that
I will faithfully send you an update when God writes the next chapter which
should be coming soon!
In the last trance vision when Pastor Shelley was taken to
the Eternal City, the Angel said to him, "Remember, this time you will
see, but next time you will receive Revelation to teach others how to stand
in these realms." This time it’s for me to see and tell only
what I see. Next time, more.
Spiritually, the Bride will soon be given access to the
heavenly realm - not naturally to visit, but spiritually she will visit.
In spiritual realms, she will visit. She will be then given
strength, wisdom, and learn of His character for the final work that she
is called to do. She cannot be trained in this in the dimension we
have lived in. She must be trained in heavenly realms for the
final work.
It's time to cross over God's
Covenant line into Succot - intimacy with Him and the fulfillment of His
Promises!
Succot Sameach! (Happy Succot!)
Blessings from Jerusalem!
