Dear
Friends in Y'shua,
After a
very busy and wonderful time of having Pastor Shelley,
his family and a few saints from his congregation here
with us in Jerusalem, it is once again time to begin to
share with you the awesome way that the Lord was
faithful to keep His promised
appointment. I will try to keep this
update short by giving you a brief overview of what the
Lord did. Even Pastor Shelley is
only gradually revealing the content of the divine
visitations he experienced.
The Promise - Appointment in
Jerusalem
Most of
you will remember that on January 7th, Pastor Shelley
had an open-eye vision during the worship portion of a
service. He saw the Four Living Creatures marching
or dancing in a rectangular pattern, making deep,
worshipful bows after every few steps. They
suddenly stopped, and the one closest to him, the one
with the face of a Flying Eagle, said, "We have an appointment with you
in Jerusalem. The time draws near."
Pastor Shelley
sensed that this appointed time would be during his
upcoming visit to Jerusalem.
Night Vision of the Seven Church Age
Messengers
Very early
on Saturday morning, April 15th, Pastor Shelley had a
3-hour dream that was so real that he feels it was a
vision in the night. He saw the seven
church age messengers (Rev. 1:20) sitting around a
table. One by one, they took
turns drawing him aside to talk with him
privately. He could even feel each one put his
hand in the small of his back as they walked to a corner
of the room.
Both the
noted theologian, Clarence Larkin, and William Branham
had received revelations about these seven church age
messengers. Pastor Shelley saw Paul,
Ireneaus, Martin, Columba, Martin Luther, John Wesley,
and William Branham in this
experience. And each was dressed
in the costume of his day.
The messengers each shared with Pastor
Shelley about the difficulty of facing great
rejection in their lives because of the various
revelations that they were given. For
example, Paul said that he almost went back to his
former life as an ordinary Orthodox Jew, denying
that Y'shua was the Messiah, because of the rejection
that he suffered.
But each one also spoke
about the miracle of the
overcoming anointing. They each shared
what kind of an anointing it took to overcome in their
church age and how God had given it to them when they
needed it most.
Bro.
Branham used to preach that the evil of every age was
being gathered together and released into this
current age of Laodicea. He mentioned that again
to Pastor Shelley in this night vision, but added a
wonderful revelation. He said that every portion
of the Lord's anointing and glory that it took to
overcome in each church age was being gathered together
into one great measure. This great measure
of overcoming anointing is going to be released very
soon upon all those who have eyes to see and ears to
hear.
There were
more details that Pastor Shelley shared and even more
that he will share at a later time. I plan
to share more in future updates, God willing.
As wonderful as this divine experience was, Pastor
Shelley did not feel that it was the fulfillment of the
promised appointment. But he sensed that it was
leading up to the awaited visitation.
Fulfillment of the Promise
About two
weeks later, after spending his birthday (April
28) in Jerusalem for the first time, Pastor Shelley
retired for the night and had an unusual and
awesome divine experience. He was
suddenly awakened to see a very, very large angel
standing at the foot of his bed. When he
reached over to try and arouse his wife, his arm
became paralyzed and he was unable to touch
her. Then he
looked up and saw the white bedroom
ceiling disappear as well as the
roof. Only the night sky was overhead
with the stars shining.
Then he was moved out of the bed and up
into the air in a very unusual way - like
flying. He was still wide awake and could
see our neighborhood with its shops as he was being
lifted higher and higher. Suddenly
he came to a beautiful ladder with angels
ascending and descending on it. The
ladder was suspended somewhere between the old
city of Jerusalem and the new city. He
joined the line of ascending angels and effortlessly
climbed the ladder.
Pastor
Shelley then came to a realm of heaven where classes
were being held. A multitude of angels
were being taught by mortal men from past church
ages that had gone into the Presence of the
Lord. They were teaching these angels
about the difficulty of life on the earth and the
importance of the overcoming anointing.
He was told by an angel that the overcomers from
past ages were preparing the angels for what is
ahead. These angels were being given instructions of
where to go and what needed to be done. They were
to bring breakthroughs, miracles, deliverances,
etc.
One of the
special purposes of these coming angels will be to
announce destiny. They will reveal to each
believer the fullness of his own destiny and will
instruct each one as to what should be his
next step.
Then the
Lord took him even higher to see some other things that
were going on before the Throne. Heaven
was very busy and full of activity with angels bustling
all around. He sensed that similarly a
great busyness was about to take place on the earth
spiritually.
Pastor Shelley went on into the Presence
of the Lord and saw the Four Living
Creatures. But he has not yet shared that
part of his experience.
More to Come
I am
really awed by these divine experiences and at God's
faithfulness to interact with His Bride in these last
days. I will share more details of these visions
as soon as I can. Pastor Shelley has been busy
validating each part with the Word of
God. Now that he is back home in Alabama,
he has begun to lay foundations through his
anointed preaching and to gradually unfold more of what
he experienced.
The enemy
is not happy with all that has transpired. The day
after Pastor Shelley returned home, the computer server
that contains both the Alabama and Jerusalem ministry
websites "crashed" and the data was corrupted.
Hopefully all will be restored and reconstructed by the
time you receive this.
Treasury Room of the
Kingdom
I wish
that Pastor Shelley could have visited the divine
Treasury Room to make a withdrawal of funds to pay
our quarterly rent which is due next Monday, May
15th! Maybe that will be physically
possible some day, but in the meantime that Treasury
Room is in the pockets and bank accounts of our faithful
friends!
We are
very grateful for the money that you have given that has
paid for our daily expenses so far. Now we
need a big miracle because we currently have very little
money to pay for the rent. Would you please consider being
part of the miracle? This Jerusalem ministry exists because of
your faithfulness to hear God's voice to invest in the
prophetic destiny of Jerusalem. Please take a moment to send
a check or make an online donation as soon as
possible. We
would appreciate it so much! (Donation details are
at the end of this update.)
In Closing
I don't
know how to express what these divine visitations mean
to me, even if I wasn't the one who had them.
How exciting that angels are being instructed in
order to soon announce to us our destinies
and our next steps!
It is
awesome to realize that we are about to
experience the consolidation of all of the overcoming
anointings that have been given to the overcomers of the
past ages! I am in need of such an
anointing just to overcome my own flesh, no less the
evil that is increasing in the world! But God has
been dramatically giving divine appointments
to today's prophets to announce his new season of
overcoming for the Bridal Company!
He
who has eyes to see, ears to hear and a heart to
perceive will be an overcomer!
Blessings
from Jerusalem!
