There are some wonderful divine
experiences that Pastor Shelley has had since our last update,
but I felt the importance for this update to share a
revelation concerning the fullness of
time that came alive to
him last week as he was preparing to minister in Iceland as a guest
of the Gospel Channel. Here are some highlights of what
he shared.
"The
Power of the Highest Shall Overshadow
Thee"
(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.
It can
now be calculated that Yeshua was conceived at the time
of Hanukkah, the Feast of Dedication, also called the Feast
of Lights. He was the Light of the
World! He was born nine months later during the
Feast of Succot.
Mary, this little virgin girl, grew up with the
hope that one day a Savior, the Messiah, would come. Greece and Rome was
closing in, and the angel came to her telling her that she
would be the one to carry the Messiah in her
womb.
It
Was the Fullness of
Time!
(Gal 4:4) But when the fullness of the
time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman,
made under the law,
(Gal
4:5)
To redeem them that were under the law, that we might
receive the adoption of sons.
This concept of the fullness of times is
important. The people
were so oppressed by the Greeks and Romans.
Everything economically and politically was in
place although it looked wrong. But it was the fullness of
time to God.
Paul Keith Davis calls it a fullness of
time juncture.
I saw it like a glass being filled up with water. More water would keep being
added to the water.
Finally when the glass was completely full, I knew in my
heart that it was the fullness of time. When the fullness of time came, God sent forth His
Son.
A father was very particular
about the adoption of sons because that son was
then authorized to conduct the business of the
father.
You don’t get up from
the altar adopted.
You get up as an heir of God and are treated like slaves and
servants. You then grow
in grace and faith. But God knew you before you were born. Your name was written in the
Book of Life.
He knows who are heirs and will come to
adoption.
Jesus went through this. Though He were a son, yet
learned He obedience from the things He suffered. He had to prove
Himself. His
adoption ceremony started in the Jordan River when He was
baptized. It
was a process.
On the Mount of Transfiguration, God said, “This is My beloved Son. Hear ye
Him.”
Once Again, the Fullness of Time Has
Come!
We are almost there again. The cup is almost full
again. The Bible says
that there will be another fullness of
time and sons will be born. You are looking at one of
them tonight.
The Bible calls it the dispensation of the
fullness of time.
Many preach that that is the Millennium, but it isn’t. There will be a great cooperation between the saints
in heaven and the sons of God on the
earth.
We have been waiting since Azusa Street and the
50’s and 60’s for the manifestation of the sons of
God.
We are waiting for the Parousia,
the coming of His full Presence in His
Bride.
It cannot be completed until the Bride comes into
maturity. We
are in the process of moving from heirs to sons as He leans on us
and we respond.
Bro. Branham said that we have come here
bypassing our theophany body to be tested and tried. My
theophany body is closer to me now than ever
before.
Someone is going to come into full
maturity and it will cause others to push in and come into
it.
I always knew from the Scripture that there was
a quick short work for the manifestation
of the sons of God.
 That great adoption ceremony is
beginning to take place in the hour we are
living in right now. There are sons who are coming
to a place of maturity now.
They have been tested and tried, but they have kept the
testimony of Jesus.
They are now authorized to conduct the Father’s
business.
The purpose of the Lord Jesus Christ was not just
to redeem the lost, but also to bring a company of sons to
full adoption to carry out the work of the
Father.
This is the truth I
breathe for.
It is not how I make my living. I get up in the morning
because I know I am about to see the fulfillment of
all the prophets and sages have prophesied
about.
If you could get 50,000 people all over
the world to come to their adoption, you could turn the world upside
down.
The cup has been refilling again in the
last 2000 years.
It is now 2008 and we would not have believed we would be
here now. Bro. Branham
said that the Rapture was long overdue and that we were
living on borrowed
time.
This Is the Dispensation of the
Fullness of Times
(Eph 1:5)
Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by
Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his
will,
(Eph 1:10)
That in the dispensation of the fullness of
times he might gather together in one all things in Christ,
both which are in heaven, and which are on earth;
even in
him:
(Eph 1:11)
In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being
predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things
after the counsel of his own
will:
(Eph 1:12)
That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first
trusted in Christ.
 That is a big Scripture. God is revealing to us that
the cup is filling
up.
This is not a prophecy concerning the Millennium, but
the last days on earth. It is speaking about a
divine union and a heavenly
cooperation between the church on the earth
and the church in heaven. We are going to be gathered
together for His purposes on the
earth.
The Cloud of Witnesses are not made
perfect yet, even though they are in the Presence of
God. They without us
cannot be made perfect.
Bro. Branham said that those who have died in Christ have not
gone into the fullness of heaven, just into the Presence of
God.
There is going to be a last generation who will come to their place of
adoption in the End-time. We will be gathered
together with the Bride of every age and go together to the Throne
of God. I
believe that with my grandmother, I will see Jesus. I don’t believe in soul
sleep either, like a Mormon.
Everything in the casket is dead.
My loved ones are in heaven and are at peace in
the Presence of God, but they are longing to go before the
Throne. They know what
the holdup is.
They are waiting on us – until we step into our final
place. They
are cheering us on in another dimension. They are with
us.
What a destiny I have! What a hope! The first time the cup got full, Jesus came. The next time, the Parousia, the
coming of Jesus manifest fully in His Bride, comes to the
earth.
There is no way in the world the Bride of Christ
is going to be defeated!
God will send from heaven every creature that He
needs to in order to make sure the last generation
fulfills their destiny!
Let the Daystar arise and shine in our
hearts!
Tell the Lord, “I am ready for
whatever You have for me.
I am ready for my life to be changed. I am ready to be a true
witness. I want my life to shine forth with the Light of
Jesus.”
"Revelations of the Open Book"
Conference - Tucson, Arizona
Pastor Shelley is very excited about this
conference, sponsored by WhiteDove Ministries, and
feels it will have great prophetic significance for the Bride in
2009. It is being held in the same hotel and the same conference room
that was used by Bro. William Branham when he lived in
Tucson.
Come and partake of
revelations which are for our generation that
have been given by God in a prior generation concerning the Open Book of Revelation
10!
(Rev
10:8)
And the voice which I heard from heaven spake unto me again, and
said, Go and
take the little book which is open in the hand of
the angel which standeth upon the sea and upon the
earth.
(Rev
10:9)
And I went unto the angel, and said unto him, Give me the little
book. And he said unto me, Take it, and eat it up; and it
shall make thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth sweet as
honey.
(Rev
10:10) And I took the little book out of the angel's
hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as
soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
(Rev
10:11) And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy
again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and
kings.

In Closing
 I have been so blessed
by your outpourings of love and prayer during this health trial
that I am going through! Thank you so very much! I
have not done very well at responding back in many cases, but please
know that I have treasured every e-mail and been so grateful for
every love gift and prayer!
I had my
fourth chemo treatment a week ago and am gradually recovering from
the resulting side effects. A recent CT scan showed that the
lung tumor is now smaller so my doctor is now going to stop
one of the two cancer drugs for the next six treatments (three weeks
apart). That should lessen the side effects, praise
God! After every three treatments, a CT scan
will be done to assess the results.
The radiation
treatment that I had about three months ago has gradually
reduced some of the pain in my pelvic socket so although I still
need to use a cane, I am grateful that the pain is less!
But I am still believing for a new lung and pelvis from
heaven's body parts storehouse!
Thank you
again for your faithfulness to help us financially! And we
always praise God for His faithfulness to bless you in return!
If you can send a love gift to end 2008,
we would be most grateful! It will help us to pay our Jerusalem monthly taxes and
other ongoing expenses!
(Joh 1:4) In him was life; and the
life was the light of
men.
Happy Hanukkah! Happy celebration of the Light
coming into the world!
May
the Holy Ghost overshadow you in 2009 during this second coming of
the fullness of time!
Blessings,
Grace and Shalom from Jerusalem!
