Shalom, y'all!
I
am heading west and south to Alabama on Wednesday
night, God willing (and if the unions don't
close down the airport like they did last week), so
I need to practice a southern drawl!
Winter Campmeeting in Alabama: December 31
- January 7
 If you are able to come
to Smiths Station, Alabama, for the Winter
Campmeeting hosted by New Hope Revival
Ministries, I absolutely know that you will be
blessed!
It will
include a prophetic watch night service
beginning at 9:00 PM on Dec. 31.
Pastor
Shelley has been laying a foundation of teaching on
heavenly portals and will continue to
bring much revelation about accessing the
Throne, as the Spirit leads, throughout the
Campmeeting.
If you are
unable to attend in person, you are most welcome to
stream the services via the Internet. Just go to
www.revival.org
and click on "Live Services" on the top
right side. You need to register (free) the first
time to establish a user name and password.
After that you can stream any of Pastor
Shelley's services, including his regular
weekly ones.
The regular service times
are Saturday at 6:00 PM, Sunday at 11:00 PM and
Tuesday at 7:00 PM (EST). Please note that
there will be no services Tuesday, Dec. 26, or
Saturday, Dec. 30.

The Light of the World
I will be in Alabama in time to celebrate
Hanukkah, the Feast of Lights or Feast
of Dedication, which begins Friday night,
December 15.
It can be calculated through
clues from the Scripture and through the historian,
Josephus, that Y'shua was born during the time
of Succot, the Feast of Tabernacles, and
conceived in Mary's womb around the time of
Hanukkah.
Follow these links to read two
wonderful sermons where Pastor Shelley preached on this
subject:
The Light of the World was conceived
while the Menorah in the newly cleansed
Temple was once
again aflame with light sustained by a one-day supply of oil that
miraculously lasted for eight days.
God's
timings and symbolisms to reveal
Himself are perfect and amazing! We
only need to seek for His clues.
Pastor
Shelley's congregation will commemorate the holiday by
gathering together in someone's home to light
the Hanukkah candles and tell the
Hanukkah story to the children (with the adults
listening in).
 Then everyone
shares a meal of foods fried in oil to
remember the miracle of the multiplication of
the oil. Some of the popular foods are
potato latkes, falafel balls and homemade jelly
doughnuts.
These are pictures from Hanukkah in Alabama which
I took last year. There is something
so special about gathering together
with the saints, meditating on the
things of God and sharing a
meal.
And these
are the best kinds of "warm fuzzies"
that you can give your children!
Have a blessed
Hanukkah!
Lock Up the
Lie
(1Pe
5:8) Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil, as a roaring
lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may
devour:
(1Pe 5:9)
Whom resist steadfast in the faith,
knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in
your brethren that are in the world.
In my last
update, I shared with you a very short
summary of what Bob Jones, a widely respected
prophet, told Pastor Shelley about how to
close a negative portal over your head.
He told Pastor Shelley that he must teach this to his
congregation.
On September 9,
2006, Pastor Shelley preached a lot about this subject
after returning from a prophetic conference in
Nashville. I have just posted some major
excerpts from that sermon which you can read
at:
Here are a few
excerpts where Pastor Shelley tells what Bob
Jones shared about the
vision God gave him and the meaning of it:
He said, "I’m
going to tell you a vision. I saw a ship. It
was a beautiful ship. It was a state ship.
It was full of beautiful
Christians. And the Christians that were
on this ship were just as beautiful as the ship
itself."
 But he said, "A strange
thing happened in this vision. I wasn’t
asleep. But there was a lion that got
loose on board this ship."
"This lion
ran into the dining room of the ship and started
eating people’s lunches. And, of course,
nobody was fighting with the lion. Everybody just jumped
up and ran away and let the lion eat their
lunches."
He said, "I
couldn’t stand to see the lion eating everybody’s lunch,
but I didn’t want to be eaten either, so I ran out.
And I ran into a room where there were two
doors."
"When I ran into the room where the two
doors were, the lion followed
me."
And he said,
"I locked . . . I ran out the door and locked one door,
and I ran back around and locked the other door.
And the lion was locked up in this room with two
doors."
"I knew that
this was a liberty ship. And I
knew that Truth ran loose through this
ship. It was a ship . . ." And
remember, he’s speaking symbolically. "I knew that Truth
prevailed in this ship that this lion had been
loosed on."
"And I said,
‘Who is this lion?’"
And the
Spirit of God said, "The lion is a
lie." A lie - the lion represented a
lie.
Bob Jones said, "This lion was
not the Lion of the tribe of
Judah. This lion represented a
lie."
 He said,
"And what I did in the vision, I locked the lion
up in this room."
"God in this vision
helped me to lock two doors - the soul and the
spirit, the two ways that the enemy has
access that way."
"The
Spirit of God then began to tell me that I need to tell
you people that you’ve got to lock the lie up.
You’ve got to lock up the lie. You’ve got to
isolate the
lie."
He said we need to begin to
disagree with the lies. He said
that cruise ship was like a
maze.
And he said, "What has
happened is people have let the lion, they’ve
let the lie, roam freely in the maze of their
mind."
"But
this was a Truth ship. This was a liberty
ship." So he said, "What people need to begin to
do is let Truth roam the maze of their
mind."
And God showed Bob Jones the only way to
do it was to lock it up, lock it up in a
room.
He said, "Two doors - I ran out one,
locked it, come in, locked the other one, and ran
out. And the lion was locked in
there."
And he said, "I want to tell you
something." Listen carefully. He said,
"That lion will not die
overnight."
 So there’s only one way to get rid of a
lie that comes through your soul - that is to lock it up
in one room and what? And what?
Starve him to
death.
It’s
going to be a long process because some
of these lies are fat. Some of these lies are
fat. And it’s going to take a long time
for them to starve to death,
perhaps.
And
you’re the only one who can determine the
process of death. You’re going to have to
starve it to
death.
Can
somebody tell me how to starve it? What does that
mean, starve it to death? Don’t what?
Don’t feed
it.
He even said to me,
"When you’re teaching this, remember to tell them
it takes 21 days to close a negative
portal."
And he gave many
Biblical examples of why 21 days was significant -
through the Scripture. There are many
things. Many times God used a span of 21
days, three
weeks.
He said, "I’m not going
to try to prove it to you. I’m just going to tell
you what the Lord has showed me. It takes 21 days
to close that negative portal. And in doing so
it’s like dealing with that lion."
I encourage you to read the
complete posted sermon excerpt for Pastor
Shelley's insights, challenges and
suggestions to help you close any negative
portals.
We all have them in certain areas at
different times, but they can be
closed!
Pastor
Shelley's New Website Video
Clip
Now that Pastor Shelley and some
dedicated technical brothers from his ministry have been
successful at producing high quality programs
in his church sanctuary for his satellite TV
broadcast on the Gospel Channel, The Eagle's
Cry, he has been able to record
a video greeting for all who visit his
website.
Just go to www.revival.org
and click the play button on the video
screen that appears. Wait a few seconds
for it to download enough to start streaming. If
you don't have a fast broadband connection, just follow
the instructions for downloading the video clip to
your computer and then watch the downloaded
version.
I
believe that you will be blessed by the
clip! And for those who are unable to
watch The Eagle's Cry it will give you an
approximate example of what it looks like.
Many
people have contacted the ministry and said that
the Presence of God just came in their
rooms as they watched the program. Others
have said that they felt like Pastor Shelley was sitting
right next to them, talking just to them.
New Sermon

discover more of the hidden treasures
that God has prepared for seekers to find.
He shares a few of these deeper
Truths. Check it out!
Update from Jerusalem
Archives
Sometimes the
updates that we send out come back to
us because mailboxes are full, people have
changed their addresses or some servers just don't seem
to like us.
I just felt to
remind you that each update is posted to our
website and can be accessed at the link
"Update from Jerusalem Archive," on the
left side of our home page. So if you haven't
heard from us in awhile, just check there.
In
Closing
I plan to be in
Alabama for a month - leaving Jerusalem
Dec. 13th and returning Jan. 16th. God
willing, I will send you at least one update from
there. I always continue to edit Pastor Shelley's
sermons while I am in Alabama and help in any way that I
can in the office there.
If you are able to help us financially
during this time, it would be so
appreciated! Your donations mean
so very much to us and we thank God for every one of
them and you!
Every month is a
miracle as God takes the "oil" that you
give and miraculously multiplies it to
meet our needs! I always stand in
awe at how He does it!
Thank you so much for your love, your
prayers and your financial
blessings!
May this
truly be a Season of Miracles for you as you lock up the
lie!
(Joh
10:22) And it was at
Jerusalem the feast of the dedication,
and it was winter.
(Joh 10:23) And Jesus walked in the temple
in Solomon's porch.
(Luk 1:31) And,
behold, thou shalt conceive in thy
womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt
call his name JESUS.
(Luk 1:32) He shall be great, and shall be called
the Son of the Highest: and the Lord
God shall give unto him the throne of his father
David:
(Luk 1:35) And
the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy
Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of
the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that
holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called
the Son of God.
(Joh 8:12) Then spake
Jesus again unto them, saying,
I am the light
of the
world: he that
followeth me shall
not walk
in darkness,
but shall
have the
light of life.
Blessings from
Jerusalem!
