Breakthrough, Guardian and I stand in the tent of prayer talking about how to defeat the spirit of delay.
Me:
“Is there anything specific that we can do right now? I literally get hundreds of messages from people who are struggling to get some kind of breakthrough. Surely there must be something small that we can all do to tip the balance in everyone’s lives?”
Guardian:
“Continue to diligently worship for these 21 days. Create a culture of worship. Your battle is not against flesh and blood.
Though you have received many instructions that would lead to massive breakthrough, you need the fullness of the power of the Holy Spirit to do what needs to be done.
Continue to worship together in spirit and in truth.
Do not underestimate the power of worship Courier.”
Breakthrough:
“Honor wisdom with sacrifice. It is important to continue to serve the sources of wisdom diligently so that you may turn their instructions into consistent action.
You are the son of obedience, be obedient to your calling as Courier. All have different callings and different roles. The heart must not try to do the work of the kidney, nor must the spleen try to be the liver.
Focus on what you are instructed to do.”
Me:
“Financial pressure is a real focus stealer though. Should I just ignore the financial weight of a growing vision?
I have been instructed to never take up offerings on this land. Yet it costs money to do what we have been instructed to do. That, and we have personal expenses every month.
All I do is pray, which sounds very romantic, but even with twelve hours of prayer each day I don’t really see a difference in ministry finances to the days when I did not pray so much.
It might have been better if you let me get a good job and finance this vision myself.
And most of the messages I receive are from ministers and believers in the same position. Most are under terrible financial strain.”
Breakthrough:
“When a culture of honor is born, you will lack for nothing. But until then you will fight many battles.
The issue is that believers do not understand honor. They do not know how to give honor where honor is due. Instead they work to be equals with everyone around them.
Honor is focused love as faith is focused free will.
In a culture of honor, a river of impartation flows freely. It is this culture that we work to cultivate among you these 21 days of order.
Look at each other through the eyes of sacrifice. Look for excuses to bless and edify one another. Give honor where honor is due. Work to recognize spiritual rank and serve with proactive humility so that rivers of impartation may flow freely!
Work to honor every instruction from the angel of order so that his rewards may easily be released.”
Guardian:
“For most, 21 days of worship is almost an impossible commitment. You should be meeting together like this daily but the enemy fills your lives with all sorts of other commitments. All blessing is a matter of focused consistency. The spirit of delay is a stronghold with walls like the city of Jericho.
You bring it down with a bombardment of word, worship and obedience.
These 21 days are an opportunity for you to set a precedent of daily focus.
Consider this Courier:
A man is bombarded by the pressures of this world every moment of every day. Yet he is under the influence of heaven for a few hours each week. Some completely neglect the gathering of the saints and wonder why they are caught up in a culture of rebellion.
They proclaim to love God but they refuse to spend time with His children.
The key to all heavenly blessing is in the advance of the kingdom as a kingdom.
A strong army can take ground and capture resources. A weak army can only plan and scheme and grumble while they retreat from every battle.
Your strength is in what you do together. These 21 days are the foundation of unity that this vision requires.
All across the world, people will watch this vision grow and they will ask how it is so blessed.
And you will teach them that unity commands blessing. A culture of unity and honor is a culture of victory.
When you are all of one heart and one mind, you will begin to live in community as they did from the time of the upper room and the spirit of delay will have no legal precedent to stop your advance.
Work to become an army. Work to become a model of efficient discipline. Do this together and you will see incredible things.
But start by worshipping together each day.
These 21 days are very important and those who are diligent in observing the instructions of the angel of Order will see the fruit!”
Breakthrough:
“Alone you are weak. This is the greatest of all lessons you must learn.
In community you are strong.
We work diligently to bring this revelation to you all son of obedience.
The enemy overwhelms the strongest among you with financial pressure because you insist on being alone in your own space with your own family and your own financial burdens.
This is not how it is supposed to work. You are all supposed to carry each other’s burdens. But how can you carry someone’s burden when you all insist on living isolated lifestyles?
You should all be having constant conversations about how you can live in community so that these burdens may be lifted.”
Me:
“I have started speaking to a few of those whom I think will be the twelve who create the first community. We are all very excited about it.”
Breakthrough:
“Yes, you do well to start this journey. But know that the longer you procrastinate, the longer you all carry burdens that you are not meant to carry.
Think like a kingdom. Work together as if you are literally building a physical kingdom. For the kingdom of God is not of this earth but all that is in the spirit eventually manifests on this earth and brings with it the blessings of heaven.
So seek first the kingdom, work towards building strong communities, worship together daily, give honor where honor is due.
Do these things with focus and discipline and you will see the walls of Jericho fall.
Seek first the kingdom. All that you need is in seeking first the kingdom!”
Me:
“The kingdom is all!”
I wake up.
