Moriah Destiny Shelley Makes Her
Debut
Pastor
Shelley and his wife, Stacey, are proud to announce the
birth of their new little girl:
Moriah Destiny
Born
2006-08-20
The whole
family is so excited as well as all who know
them!
Some of
the meanings of the name Moriah are:
-
Chosen of Yah (Jehovah)
-
The Lord Is My Teacher
-
Land of the Vision
-
Divine Providence (God provided the Ram
instead of Isaac on Mount Moriah)
-
Mount Zion (The Temples were built on
Mount Moriah)
It's a
very prophetic name because the destiny of the
Bridal company is the top of Mount Zion.
We will get there because of vision, divine
providence and because we are chosen of God and the
Lord is our teacher! The fulfillment of our
destiny is at hand!
May the
Lord bless this new little one and woo her quickly into
His Bridal Chamber!
The Infusion of Fire
Most of
you will remember the divine night-time
encounters that Pastor Shelley had recently
here in Jerusalem. At the end of
the posted sermon portion, "04/29/2006 AM - Night Vision
of Overcomers Teaching Angels (Jerusalem) - Excerpt -
Part 1," he said:
It
wasn’t that I saw fire in this vision. But I woke
up and the first thought that came to my mind is
"We’ve got to have the Fire.
We’ve got to have the Fire of God in our
lives" - not just corporately as a body,
but we’ve got to have a real
baptism of Fire individually.
We've got to have the Fire of the
Lord.
Then he
continued to preach about "The Infusion of
Fire," which was not included in the posted
excerpt. We have now edited and posted
the whole sermon on Pastor Shelley's
website:
If
you go about one-third of the way down, you will come to
the Fire part of his message. It includes some older prophecies
about the Fire. Here is a portion of one of them
where the Fire is melting together two spiritual
mountains:
I saw those two mountains as they were
melting.
I saw
the tops of these mountains begin to
melt,
and
they began to run low and run
together.
They
ran down the sides of the mountains
until
they formed a
plateau.
The
breach, the chasm, between the two mountains
was gone
because the tops of the two mountains
had melted
down.
And
they formed a plateau.
I
heard the Voice of the Spirit saying, not one stone is
lost.
Not
one stone is lost.
But
it’s the repositioning.
I’m repositioning the stones and the
soil.
And nothing is lost from the
Spirit.
Nothing is lost from the
Truth.
But
I’m melting them together and repositioning
them
to
form a great plateau and a foundation
for the Bridegroom to stand
on.
Hallelujah.
When
the Bridegroom comes in His fullness,
He’ll
stand on that plateau that’s being
formed
by the
repositioning of these stones -
the mountain of the Spirit and the
mountain of Truth
becoming a great
platform
for the Son of Man to stand on in
these days.
I
believe God was speaking to us about a time when those who have stood on the Word
of Truth and those who have been schooled in the
Spirit . . . when they’ll begin to come
together and flow together and not against one
another.
He
also reminds us about his last trance vision where
he found himself climbing spiritual Mount Zion and
saw the Fire through cracks in the mountain.
He knew he had to get the Fire inside of him,
but he did not know how. Then he saw a
man who was a little higher on the
mountain getting the Fire:
But
all of a sudden, I saw how he got the
Fire. He just asked for
it. He said, "Lord, I need
the Fire."
And all of a sudden,
he bent over and placed his mouth near the
crack.
And all a sudden, I
heard a swishing sound almost, a vacuum sound, and I
heard the Fire as it went up into him from the crack
like "whoooh" - just like that -
"whoooh." And now it was inside of
him. And he swallowed the Fire that
was inside Mt. Zion.
I remember hearing
thunder and voices up a little bit higher, and I
couldn't hear what they were saying.
But
I knew that I needed the Fire to give me the strength to
get up to where those thunders and voices were
sounding.
Then
Pastor Shelley explains that if the blade of
a sword is placed in a fire, the blade
becomes so hot that it is "infused" with fire.
This
is what God wants to do for us. We don't become the Fire, but He lays us
in the Fire until we take on the nature and the
characteristics of the Fire. It's an
infusion.
I
don't have time for what a lot of people have time
for. But what I have time for now is
I must get this infusion of
Fire into my
life. I've got to
have it.
Try to
take time to read the whole message. I believe it
is very important for the Bridal
company who is preparing to meet her Bridegroom
and needing to be without spot or wrinkle!
Royal Order of the Flame . . . and
Israel
As I was
thinking about the situation in Israel during
this cease-fire, with everyone accusing everyone of
guilt for everything imaginable, I suddenly remembered a
special vivid dream that Pastor Shelley had
in Jerusalem in 2003.
It took
place in a medieval castle where Pastor Shelley and
those associated with him were keepers of a
Flame that was kept in a raised pit. They
had to guard the Flame and ensure that it would
never go out. They were called the
Royal Order of the Flame.
There were
several episodes in the dream, but he shared only two of
them at that time. Here are his descriptions
of each one:
The second
one is what particularly came to my mind as I was
thinking about Israel. In this episode,
the enemy attackers who wanted to put out the
Fire had managed to get inside the
castle. Pastor Shelley said:
And
all of a sudden I knew that the only thing
that was going to stop
these men was the
Fire.
And it seemed to me
in the dream
we had never used the Fire
before.
It had just been
something that we protected.
But
we had never utilized it
before.
That's
the kind of Fire that God wants to send to His Bride in
these last days.
It’s going to be a
Fire-Bride.
It’s
going to be a Bride so full of the Fire of God
that
nothing can stand in her
way. Hallelujah.
Israel is also the Royal Order of the
Flame, chosen by God to keep His Fire burning
spiritually like her priests were to keep the Fire on
the altar of the Temple from going
out.
(Rom
9:4) Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and
the glory, and the covenants, and the giving of the law,
and the service of God, and
the promises;
But I realized that
Israel is trying to use her own strength to
protect the Fire and the enemy is "entering the
castle." We must pray
that her leaders would inquire of the Lord and use His
Fire against the enemy.
Then nothing will be able to stand in her
way!
All-Consuming Fire
Most of us
received the baptism of the Holy Spirit
by recognizing our need and
asking the Lord for
it. He is telling us that we can
receive the baptism of Fire in the same
way.
Not only
will it burn away the chaff in our lives and strengthen
us for our destiny, but His Fire will infuse His
character in us, including the ultimate -
perfect love.
The Lord
gave me a simple little chorus this week as I was
thinking about how much I need His Fire within
me:
All-consuming Fire,
take Your place in
me.
All-consuming Fire,
have Your way in
me.
You can
listen to a short clip of it by going
to "All-Consuming Fire" at the end
of the "Spontaneous Worship from
Jerusalem" section on the right side of
our website www.jerusalemrevival.com.
More Jerusalem Sermons
Posted
Two more
sermons have been posted from Pastor Shelley's recent
services in Jerusalem:
If you
have a wounded spirit, you cannot easily hear the real
clear Word that God wants you to hear. Ask the
Lord to send the angels that gather to take hindrances
out of your way.
Ever feel
a little bit of hopelessness creep in? This
message will give you back your hope!
In Closing
Thank you
so much for your prayers and your gifts!
Thanks to you and God's wonderful grace and
faithfulness we were able to make our quarterly
rent payment! That is always a big relief for
me when it is paid!
We still need to rely
on you to hear God's Voice to help us
with our day-to-day expenses, including the
monthly Jerusalem taxes and saving up for the next
rent payment. Thank you in advance for
letting the Lord use you to provide miracles
for us here in Jerusalem! He keeps a good record and will reward you
handsomely!
As I
am sure you have read, the "cease-fire" is very fragile
between Hizbullah and Israel, not to mention all the
other enemies of Israel plotting their wicked schemes! I
love all of Psalm 37! Here is just one little
appropriate part:
(Psa
37:35) I have seen the wicked in
great power, and spreading himself like a green
bay tree.
(Psa
37:36) Yet he passed away, and, lo, he
was not: yea, I sought him, but he
could not be found.
Keep praying, filling up those heavenly
golden prayer bowls! God hears and
answers!
(Luk 3:16) John answered, saying unto
them all, I
indeed baptize you with water; but one mightier than I
cometh, the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to
unloose: he shall baptize
you with the Holy Ghost and
with
fire:
May you recognize your need for the Infusion of the Fire of
God and ask Him for
it!
Blessings
from Jerusalem!
