There Is No Going Around, We Must Go Through!

I had an interesting conversation the other day with my niece and namesake Cheryl (who we call Tulla.)We were talking about life and the things that happen to get us “tied up”, by our own mistakes, sometimes by adverse results of other’s choices and sometimes just by events that happen that are out of our control but still they have the same affect of making us stuck in life.

Tulla and I both love to crochet, (although she is much better at it than I am), her mom (my sister) Diane taught me when I was round 13 years old.

So in our conversation I thought the analogy of yarn seemed to be fitting as I compared our lives to a long strand of yarn, stretching from one end to another. Along the way, there are the inevitable knots that occur, sometimes just one; usually from trying to go too fast or not paying close enough attention to our stitches, but those are easy to fix. Other times there can become a cluster of knots that seem to come from out of nowhere and these are not so easy to fix as they often seem to take on a life of their own, and can be more than frustrating.

We both laughed as we identified with the fact that we could spend hours, even days, trying to loosen, unravel and untie this mess and sometimes the harder we would work at unraveling it, the more the knotted mess would mysteriously grow. The point I was making was that the beginning and the end are distinct and no matter how many knots occur along the way we still end up where God had intended us to be, sometimes despite the knots and sometimes because of them. This reminded me of one of my favorite scriptures in the bible Genesis 50:20, “what was intended for evil, (or to harm me) God will use for good.”

Tulla then said something that really struck us both “yes, and there is only one way to fix the knot, you have to go back through the way you came” there is no other way!” Exactly! I replied!

I sat in silence for a second as I thought about the depth of what she had just said and then she followed up with something we had heard her mom say countless times “there is no way around; only through” referring to going through difficult situations and problems in life. This felt like a very profound moment, almost as if we had uncovered the answer to some mysterious riddle.

I’ve continued to contemplate this and realized that as we journey along the path of life, our disobedience and mistakes can cause knots along the way, tangling up the yarn and diverting us from God’s intended path…momentarily. But rest assured there is nothing that takes God by surprise!

When we find ourselves off course, entangled in the mess of our choices or mistakes, it is essential to recognize that we need to go back the way we came. This is what I refer to as “Full Circle Moments” in life where we are given grace and wisdom to untangle our mess.

Just as we patiently and carefully untangle a knot in a ball of yarn, we must retrace our steps, seeking forgiveness, making amends, and realigning ourselves with God’s will.

Sometimes, untangling the knots requires humility, as we acknowledge our mistakes and take responsibility for our actions. It may involve seeking forgiveness from others or making difficult decisions to rectify the consequences of our disobedience. Just as we gently pull and separate the strands of yarn to untangle a knot, we must be willing to address the issues that caused the entanglement in our lives.

As we untangle the knots, we gradually find ourselves back on the right path, where we were meant to be. It is a process that requires patience, perseverance, and a willingness to learn from our mistakes. We may need to seek guidance from God’s Word, prayer, and wise counsel to navigate through the complexities of untangling our lives.

Ultimately, as we untangle the knots and realign ourselves with God’s will, we begin to experience the freedom, peace, and purpose that come from being in the right place once the course correction has taken place. We discover that God’s grace is sufficient to redeem our mistakes and turn them into opportunities for growth and transformation.

Just as the untangled yarn becomes a smooth, unbroken strand, our lives can be restored and aligned with God’s perfect plan. The journey of untangling the knots reminds us of God’s faithfulness, His willingness to guide us back on track, and His ability to use even our disobedience and mistakes for our ultimate good.

I am praying that we will all embrace the process of untangling the knots, trusting that God’s loving hands are at work, leading us back to the center of His will, where we can experience His abundant blessings and fulfill the purpose He has for our lives.

Prophetic Word For Year 5784/2024: Kingdom Era & Gates of Glory

Three years ago we stepped into a whole new decade on God’s calendar when we entered the biblical year 5780. 80 According to messianic Jews and some Christian gentiles who study the times and seasons say it refers to the word PEY which means THE MOUTH. We all know and experienced the huge worldwide attacks on our mouths and breaths when COVID-19 hit in 2020/5780.

I tell you the truth, the devil’s war is always against the Church of Jesus Christ on the earth and he is not very much concerned about others who are not in Christ and have no authority over him. The Church of Yeshua threatens the devil so badly and he has no problem shutting down the whole earth if he can just to try to annihilate the Church in every season of power and glory. Let’s remember that wicked laws for a whole nation were erected just to resist one person in the Old Testament and that was the prophet Daniel. What about Elisha the prophet when a whole ferocious well-equipped army strategized against him to come his way, arrest him, and kill him because he kept exposing their secrets and war tactics to the King of Israel? Don’t be surprised my brothers and sisters when I tell you that, let’s know our bible really well and our defeated foe we are resisting in the name of the Lord.

PEY, the mouth should mean a lot to the enemy that we saw him paralyzing all nations for the sake of it. Why? Why all that attack over the mouth, the words of authority, the breath of God in the Church, the sons and daughters of glory? Not only do we see the enemy trying to shut our mouths literally with masks but also we see the rise of oppression and persecution over the Christian voices in media especially and all kinds of other platforms. We also see the overwhelming release of demonic voices in the form of agendas, activities, and movies on big famous media altars. What’s going on? It is surely a war, a huge war against the VOICE in the earth. Who will own the voice of dominion? The Light or darkness?

In 2023, the Lord gave me a huge weighty prophetic word that was confirmed by highly esteemed prophetic and apostolic voices in the body of Christ. As soon as I released that prophetic word, the next day and in hours, I saw the confirmations and I was amazed at how God confirms his word when he wants to establish it.

I am not going to paste the prophetic word of 2023/5783 here, I will refer it to you if you want to read it again because it is powerful and it is not the end of it BECAUSE we build on those words, from glory to glory. You can click here to read it!

I can tell you one thing only about that word: God works in cycles and I have discovered that things shift when it is 3 (3 months, 3 years, etc.). In 2023, Three years after 2020, the Lord gave this word to us:

“As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and defeating them, until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.” Daniel 7:21-22 (Read full word here)

The word of the Lord for 2023 was that God is moving us from the Church age to the Kingdom age where his people will be like Joseph in high secular places. Also, it was the year when the Ancient of Days started rising and pronouncing judgment in favor of the holy people of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the Kingdom.

September 15th, 2023 we step into a whole new biblical year in the Lord 5784. We are still in the decade of the 80s (PEY, MOUTH, BREATH, VOICE) and we still have 6 years to wrap the PEY decade. But I believe that something shifted in 2023/5783 after 3 years cycle of heavy warfare the earth didn’t see before on that scale and I believe from now on we will see Daniel 7:21-22 coming to pass more and more in Jesus’ name. It is the day for the new wine!

What is the Holy Spirit saying about the biblical year 5784/2024? 

First of all, I want you to know what I am going to share with you here comes from the Holy Spirit who led me to research some things closely and heard from him directly without further knowledge of Hebrew mysteries. Following the Holy Spirit is marvelous and amazing to me and you will know why as you continue reading!

Remember we are building on the prophetic word of 2023/5783, so let’s keep the context strong and together. Many prophets said that Psalm 23 was for the year 2023/5783 and I also got my own personal witness and conviction from the Lord about it. Actually, I wrote a whole book (that I was not planning but God has it in mind) and it is based on Psalm 23 “My Cup Overflows” – A devotional, prayers, and decrees for your increase! When we stepped in January 2023, the Holy Spirit mandated me to write it, and I did it by his grace and released it in a week, yep It was supernaturally made, praise God! It is God’s heart for his people to be prepared for increase and the inspired chapters given to me by the Holy Spirit deal with specific areas of life to help us experience the GOD increase in them. (You can learn more about it here)

Now, after mentioning all this I can share with you what I believe the Holy Spirit is revealing to us about 5784/2024 because God is all about anointing us to know times and seasons to align with him, be aware and watchful, and advance his purposes in his light!

Holy Spirit told me to research the Hebrew pictogram of the number 4 in 5784, and that is the letter dalet which means “DOOR, ENTRANCE”. When I got to know the meaning of it, I felt the Holy Spirit reminding me of PSALM 24, which I was just reading last night. Isn’t it awesome how God orchestrates things and prepares them for us ahead of time? Halleluiah.

Let’s read Psalm 24:

“The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein. For He has founded it upon the seas, And established it upon the waters. Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle. Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors! And the King of glory shall come in. Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. Selah.” NKJV

Yes, you saw correctly the word gate/door mentioned many times in Psalm 24. How did the gate lift up and open for the King of Glory to come in? Through the VOICE command. The PEY, the mouth, and voice declarations, the decade of 80. Hey, It gets better! The Holy Spirit then told me to sum the total of 5784 (5+7+8+4) and to my amazement, it is the number 24. God first told me about Psalm 24 in my heart after knowing that 4 means a DOOR/ENTRANCE and then he told me to sum 5784 which is 24. I don’t know about you but Holy Spirit to me is addictive!

While I was doing some research I read this: “Messianic scholars believe that these symbolic meanings of the number 4 are relevant to the messianic age. They believe that the number 4 will play a role in the events that lead up to the coming of the Messiah and the establishment of his kingdom.” Also, dalet is linked to a meaningful name of God which is “The True Judge”. Do you remember the word for 2023? The Ancient of Days judging for the saints and overturning laws and empowering them to move from Church to Kingdom in the world and the marketplace? We will see this happening in 5784, in the 4 corners of the earth, a worldwide revival in Jesus’ name.

I believe God will place his people in high places using their COMMANDING VOICE (Psalm 24) to open the gates for the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ to be established on the earth. Like every other prophetic promise we receive, we need to battle for it! “There is a wide-open door for a great work here, although many oppose me.” 1 Corinthians 16:9

If this is not an exciting day for the Church to be alive, I don’t know what else is exciting!

Lord make us part of your GREAT move in Jesus’ mighty name. Amen!

Get ready folks and share the good news.

Happy New Year and blessed Rosh Hashanah to you!

It’s Impossible For Me To Get Sick

In Christ Jesus, you are loaded with benefits! Sometimes we can’t fathom how much God loves us in his only begotten Son Jesus, who sent him to sacrifice and die for our sins, redeem us, and make us sons and daughters of glory. “In bringing many sons and daughters to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through whom everything exists, should make the pioneer of their salvation perfect through what he suffered.” Hebrews 2:10

Jesus didn’t die only for you but SUFFERED to make you a son and daughter of glory, a brand new creation! A creation that didn’t exist before was made available to us in Christ as we receive him in our hearts by faith. When you get a new car that you like so much and costs you, sometimes everything, you rush excitedly to discover all its features and benefit from what is made available to you in this technology. You read the manual, ask the company of origin, Google it, etc… You just want to know everything about your new car and brag in the presence of your friends when they show up for a ride.

Your new creation in Christ, your spirit man, is a new technology loaded with benefits. When the enemy can’t keep you from receiving salvation, the very next assignment after you become born again is to block revelation knowledge against the GOD KIND OF LIFE that’s in you now that became your identity. But if you are hungry and diligent to pray and study the word sincerely, ask the company of origin, Google the Holy Spirit, etc. you will journey into discovering the unique powerful new creation that you are now in the Lord! Halleluiah.

The benefits are a lot but the Holy Spirit wants to cover just one powerful benefit to you here that’s wonderful that I consider a fresh revelation to me. Sometimes we can’t take it all in and Jesus said that the Holy Spirit will keep revealing the truth about God and our inheritance. It is a life of progressing in the light of revelation season after another. When I came to the Lord years and years ago, I started renewing my mind with the word of God and getting to know his nature that sickness is not from God and that Jesus is our healer and when we get sick he is our source and all those wonderful revelations. Many are still struggling with the basics of that but God is your helper and will shift you to truth, don’t give up! I am not in that place anymore where I question if it is God’s will to heal or not, even when we have questions that don’t seem to have an answer. I am anchored in the word of God, I decided that his word doesn’t change no matter what, and I won’t lower the word of God to catch up with my experience or people’s experiences, I let my experience catch up with the word of God.

How many individuals and denominations came up with a wrong theology that God doesn’t heal anymore just because they tried believing for it and didn’t manifest? If you want to live in a constant place and position of victory, never change the word of God and his nature just because you are disappointed or don’t understand it. We know God’s perfect will in Jesus Christ and Jesus healed everyone who came to him, period. It is God’s will to heal, and God uses anything to usher his manifestations of healing in for you, his word, angels, doctors, diet, etc. But at the end of the day, it is his will to see you healed. He is your source in all cases!

I am anchored and so convinced in what I am sharing with you here, nothing can change my mind about that, no man or devil on earth! I even went through a long season of sickness and never questioned his will to heal and I am standing in healing today. So all this is not strange to me, what is incredible and what is freshly NEW to me is God’s will for me not to get sick from the beginning! Nobody told me that before until recently.

We are taught that you have a healer when you get sick, but nobody unpacked the scriptures to us in a proper way that in Christ you are dead to sin and dead to sickness. I am seeing those scriptures now in a fresh new way where the apostle Paul and others command us to CONSIDER ourselves dead to sin and to sickness. They don’t tell you to receive healing, they tell you to consider yourself dead to sin and sickness with Christ and ALIVE unto God. When you connect to that reality by faith, you start experiencing the substance of it just as when you believed and received your salvation. The new creation package and its loaded benefits are activated by REVELATION & CONSIDERING.

Now that I see clearly that in Christ I am redeemed and free from the curse of sin which is death in all expressions including sickness, I’ve decided to consider myself dead to sin and to sickness. In other words, what the Holy Spirit is trying to convey to you is that it is not just his will for you to get healed when you get sick, he wants you to live as “The Healed of the Lord” without knowing sickness anymore, starting of this day and THAT happens by just considering you are dead to sin and to sickness and alive to RIGHTEOUSNESS & HEALING.

I recently watched a precious preacher named Andrew Wommack who was teaching about healing in an amazing way and unpacking scripture for us. He said this statement that he had been saying for himself for 50 years and he got sick only twice just because of stupidity for not sleeping for many days because he was ministering, the statement was this: “I don’t believe in sickness and I won’t get sick and you can’t make me throw up”. He lived and is living by this for years and is seeing the power of it and that was crazy awesome to me. It was so stretching to me but I witnessed the truth deep in my core.

I am dead to sin and to sickness therefore I won’t get sick! Cheers. Would you challenge yourself today by the Holy Spirit and start embracing this tremendous truth and inheritance you have in Christ Jesus?

God bless you
