Y "Establishing God's Right Hand"
[His Kingdom]
Lesson Three
Part One
Y The Inactive Hand of God
Y "The Son of Man will send out His angels [stars], in His right hand, and they will gather 'out of His kingdom
all things that offend and those who practice lawlessness', and will cast them into the furnance of fire. There will
be wailing and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the 'kingdom of their Father.'
He who has ears to hear, let him hear."Mt 13:41-43.
The establishment of God's Kingdom on earth, that is, 'the deliverance of Israel [national] and/or Israel
[spiritual] from the oppression under the 'nations' and Satan's rule over them, will not be because God's Hand
is shortened, laying behind His back, nor because of the wicked spirits in Satan's Kingdom, but the unbelief
in evil-doers within 'Israel' who through their trans- gressions "prevent" the establishment of the Heavenly
Kingdom on earth. This is why we see deliverance, then judgement, deliverance, then judgement again, then
another remnant, etc., until a remnant refined in fire appears!
Since these wicked do sin ... "how could I deliver My great Right Hand." 'The delay in the deliverance of
God's people is caused by the wicked in their own ranks. As Enoch and Jude tells us ... in particular the
'idolatry' was made responsible for the delay in the establishment of God's Kingdom. The Church is full of
idolatry! Can our 'prayers' be hindered? Absolutely! It is "the prayer of a righteous man that availeth much,"
said James.
God uses the apocalytic eschatological symbolical expression of the Right Hand of God [Majesty on High] as
representing Israel and the Kingdom of Heaven on earth!
Y How can I explain this? First, keep in mind what Jesus our Lord revealed. Jesus came to John the Baptist to
fulfill all righteousness ... God's complete standard. He is baptized in water and the Holy Spirit ...
that is, the Right Hand of God descended from Heaven, from behind God's back,
and 'rested' upon Yeshua ha Mashiach without measure. He was tempted in the wilderness forty days and
overcame Satan by "the Sword of the Spirit." The Lord returned from the wilderness in the 'Power of the
Spirit' ... He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. He was handed the book of
Isaiah [but of course] and He 'found' the place where it was written:
"The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me," etc.
... and He began to say to them,
"Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your
hearing."
'From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." Let me say
it this way, "Repent, for the Right Hand of Heaven/God is here, now, to be active among you."
Mt 3:13-17; Lk 4:14-21.
Y The inactivity of God's Right Hand ...
laid behind Him ... is the symbol of Israel's oppression and sufferings among the nations of the world and the
temporary suspension of the "realization" of the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. The deliverance of God's
Y 2
Right Hand is the deliverance of 'Israel' and the establishment of the Heavenly Kingdom.
Besides, God's Right Hand also represents God's activity for bringing about the deliverance, and is the
instrument of the realization of the Kingdom.
Seeing the Kingdom of God manifested in the end of times will be the final redemption.
The final days began with Messiah ben Joseph; Yeshua's first coming, that being the spring Feastival, His life,
death and resurecction! He 'set up His Kingdom', and by it worked salvation for Israel, if they repent, and for
the Gentiles, if they repent, accept His sacrifice by faith and become part of the common-wealth of God's
Son-Jesus, 'Israel'. Now the establishment of God's Kingdom will be marked by the appearance of Messiah
ben David and the banquet for the righteous.
Y The inactivity of God's Right Hand and its continued inactivity is the 'sins' of the wicked ... within Israel.
Israel's downfall, her idolarty! Worldliness, secularism, coveteousness [which is idolatry]! What was the sign
that God did to show that His Hand was not active? The destruction of the Holy Temple. The Holy Temple
was where the Shekina(h) dwelled! Israel had profaned it!
The sign of the downfall of Israel, also implied the total suspension or cessation of the activity for the realization
of the Kingdom of God on earth [God's Right Hand]. The real catastrophe in the destruction of the Temple
was the removal of the Shekina from the Temple, the presence of the Shekina in the Temple having made it the
representative of God's Kingdom on earth. [God removes His Shekina from the Temple on account of Israel's
sin, and this is the cause of the destruction of the Temple. Ichabod!
"I have no longer an abode on earth"].
Y Destroy this Temple
and in Three Days ...
I will Raise it Up!
"Lord, who has believed our report?
And to whom has the Arm of the Lord
been revealed?"
Isaiah said these things when he 'saw'
His Glory and spoke of Him!
The Kingdom of Heaven was revealed 'in' Jesus Christ, Christ/Messiah was the Right Arm of God revealed in
flesh and blood!
"Although He did so many signs [manifest-
ing the activity of God's Right Hand]
before them, they did not believe in Him."
John 12:37-41.
Jesus went up to the Temple ... it was the time of Passover, and "He found those who sold oxen and sheep,
doves, and the money changers doing business. When He had made a whip of cords, He drove them all out of
the Temple, with the sheep, and oxen, and poured out the changer's money and overturned their tables."
[What do you think would happen if a Man or Woman of God would overturn the tables in our churches
today ... stacked with tapes, books, bottles of holy oil and holy water for sale?] And He said to them who
sold doves, "Take these things away or out of here! Do not make My Father's house a house of merchandise!"
What ZEAL!
Saint, are you the temple of the Living God?
Are you the Father's house? Are you Jesus' Right Hand extended?
"What 'sign' do You show to us [by what authority] since you do these things?"
Y 3
"Destroy this Temple and in three days I will raise it up." Has Jesus been raised from the dead? Is He not
seated at "God's Right Hand?" Is He not the HEAD of His body ...
the Temple? Are we not in Him ... God's Right Hand? Why did Peter pray with boldness, "Lord, look on their
threats and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by streching out Your
Hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the Name of Your holy Servant Jesus. And
when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken, and they were all filled
with the Holy Spirit, [the Kingdom] and spoke the word of God with boldness."
Acts 4:23-31.
What do you suppose, besides healing, are the other 'signs' and 'wonders'?
Y "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land
for yourself? ... Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."
"Ananias hearing these words, fell down and breathed his last. So great 'fear' came upon all those who heard
these things."
By the way, he and his wife were believers!
Because his wife agreed together to 'test' the Spirit of the Lord ... Peter said, Look, those who have buried
your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out." "Then immediately she fell down at his feet and
breathed her last. ... So great fear came upon all the church and upon all who heard these things. And through
the "hands" of the apostles many signs and wonders were done among the people. And they were all of one
accord ...in Soloman's Porch."
Acts 5:1 seq.
Y Because of other miracles of healings and the preaching the sect of the Sadducees put the apostles in prison
... ...
"But at night an angel of the Lord opened the prison doors and brought them out."
The angel gave them a comand, "Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life."
Acts 5:17-21.
Y "Give me this power," said the sorcerer who offered 'money' to Peter and John, "that anyone on whom I lay
my hands may receive power." But Peter said to him,"Your money
perish with you, because you thought that the Gift of God could be purchased with money." Hummm what
boldness and zeal!
How many, of God's people, think they can
buy positions in the Churches now-a-days?
Evidently, Simon knew about 'prophetic words' ... being a sorcerer, "Pray to the Lord for me, that none of
these things which you have spoken come upon me."
Acts 8:9-25.
Y A certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name was Bar-Jesus, who was with the procounsul ...
tried to prevent Paul and Barnabas from giving the Word to Sergiius Paulus turning the procounsul away from
hearing the 'fath'. Then Paul filled with the Holy Spirit [Right Hand of God], looked intently at him and said, "O
full of all deceit and all fraud, you son of the devil, you enemy of all righteousness, will you not cease perverting
the straight ways of the Lord? And now indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you shall be blind, not
seeing the sun for a time." And immediately a dark mist fell on him, and he went around seeking someone to
lead him by the hand. Then the procounsul believed, when he saw what had been done, being
Y 4
astonished at the teaching of the Lord.
Acts 13:4-12.
What did the Lord Jesus say? "If I by the 'finger' of God cast out devils, etc., then know that the Kingdom of
God has come upon you and overtaken you ... unawares."
What did the Egyptian's sorcerers, soothSAYERS and magicians remark regarding the signs and wonders
God did through Moses and Aaron?
"This is the 'finger' of God!" What did God reveal to Moses? "With a mighty stretched out arm will I bring
judgements and deliver My people and make Myself a Name." The Lord repeats these signs and wonders
again with His mighty stretched out Arm in the 'last days' when He intends to 'display the holiness of His
Name' and Establish His Kingdom! Ezekiel prophesies the wonders of it all in chapters 36-39. And of course
there is the Book of Revelations. Saints of Jesus, we need to be His Arm, His Hand, extended!
The Father's & Christ's Name are in His Right Hand ... the Spirit is active when you use "In My Name" et
cetra. Lk 11:20; Ex 7-14.
Y John G. Lake, after serving eight years in the ministry, became dissatisfied and believed God for more. I,
myself, am so empty and dissatisfied. William Hinn, Benny Hinn's brother, went through such an emptiness.
The Church is full of 'programs' and 'movie making'; movies which display a fictional supernatural ... but our
Lord is after
"realities" ... and the arm of flesh can't produce that, so flesh produces what it's talents are and calling it the
work of the Holy Spirit!
O Jesus. fill the void and longing in the hearts of those whose eyes are 'looking' for You, whose arms are
reaching for You!
John Lake said, "I had an intense longing for an intimacy and consciousness of God. There was such a hunger
for God that I prayed, 'God, if You will baptize me in the Holy Spirit, and give me the power of God, nothing
shall be permitted to stand before me, and a hundred-fold obedience!'"
God answered the prayer, "I knelt in prayer in reconsecration to God; an anointing of the Holy Spirit came
upon me. Waves of His
'glory' passed through my being, and I was lifted into a new realm of God's presence and power." After his
work in Africa, he launched the 'Healing Rooms' ministry in Spokane, Washington ... which are being
resurrected in various places today.
Y God's purpose has always been that the 'local church' should be the healing center. We should not have to
travel for miles in order to see God's healing manifestations, nor wait for a 'healing evangelist' to hold 'healing
meetings' so that we can receive from the Lord. The Bread is for the children! We do not have to go to
Jerusalem! "The hour has come, and now is, that you will no longer worship God in Jerusalem or here on this
mountain ... but the hour has come when the Father seeks those who worship Him in Spirit and in Truth."
We, Saints, must understand that the Lord's Hand can be for us or against us. Israel in the Old Testament is an
example for us who call ourselves by His Name. The New Testament teaches the same ... only not practiced
nor preached. If you do not believe that ... then 'read it again for the first time!'
We take the 'Lord's Supper' without truly
examining ourselves and the apostle Paul
Y 5
says, "This is why some of you are sick and some have died." Isn't this God's word too? What, may I ask, is
the parallel to this statement? Taking His 'Communion'
should also have the life giving Spirit of healing and deliverance. "This is My body ... that is broken for you, this
is My blood ... that is shed for you," said the Lord Jesus.
This is the "New Covenant" in My blood.
Y Divine Government
&
Godly Fear
Every truth that is revealed to us in God's Word is there not only for our information but also for our
inspiration. His Word is not to gratify our curiousity ... but to correct our thinking about the sovereignty of
God. The Word is to teach and motivate in us 'godly fear' and 'righteous living,' in order to bring into
subjection our rebellious spirits.
God's sovereignty humbles as nothing else and brings that Me, Myself and I into lowly
submission before Christ. What is your MO.
Can anyone who knows you or I read our MO? What is our work pattern? What does our yard look like?
What about the inside of our homes? Do we start something and never finish it? Then there is our eating,
buying,
habits. What about our 'words' we let fly out of our mouths ... making promises we do not keep. Is our word
worth anything but a plug nickel? Dependable? Do we have an MO before the Lord seeking His presence
daily? Is the one we express mostly and talk about ... Me?
Y The closer we come to the Sovereign Himself, and truly experience His Presence daily ... will make us
humble ourselves under His Mighty Hand, then, the Lord can say of us like He said to Satan of Job, "There is
none like him in the earth, a perfect and upright man, one that fears God, and hates evil." These were God's
words to Satan.
But when the testings were all over and Job was face to face with God he said, "I have heard of You by the
hearing of the ear; but now my eye sees You: Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes."
Thus, a sight of God, God revealed in awesome majesty, caused Job to abhor himself, and abase himself
before the Almighty.
Job 1:8; 42:5-6
Y Isaiah beholds the Lord on His 'high and lifted' Throne. The seraphim's faces are veiled, and they cry, "Holy,
holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts." The effect of this sight caused Isaiah to say, "Woe is me! for I am undone;
because I am a man of unclean lips,
and dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts." A
glimpse of the Divine King humbled Isaiah, bringing him, as it did, to a realization of his own nothingness.
Is 6:5.
Y Daniel, seeing the Lord toward the close of his life in human form "clothed in linen" with His loins "gired with
fine gold" ... symbolic of holiness and Divine Glory,
"His body like beryl, and His face as the appearance of lightning, and His eyes as lamps of fire, and His arms
and His feet like the color to polished brass, and the voice of His words like the voice of a multitude,"
quaked, and those with him fled. Daniel stated, "No strength was left in me; my comliness turned into
corruption, then I was in a deep sleep on my face, my face toward the ground." The sight of the Soverign God
is for flesh to wither up, and man to humble self before his Maker. What should our attitude be toward the
Supreme Sovereign?
Godly Fear; yes, christian! Godly Fear!
Y 6
Y Why is it that, today, the world is so utterly unconcerned about spiritual and eternal things, and they are
lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God; even among the 'christian world'? This is true even on the
battlefields. Why is it that defiance of heaven is becoming more open, more blatant, more daring? It is
because, "There is no fear of God before their eyes." Why has the 'authority' of the Scriptures of late been
sadly lowered? Why is that, Christian? Why do we not believe and submit ourselves to His Word? If we
don't, why should darkness?
What this presents to us is that His Word is lightly esteemed and is easily set aside. Ho-hum! Yet, the demons
tremble at His Word. What needs to be stressed today is that God is a God to be feared, and His sons and
daughters need to be the first to fear the Lord and demonstrate that fear in holiness and power!
"The fear of the Lord is the beginnning of wisdom." But you say, 'it is only unbelievers, the unsaved, those
outside of Christ, who need to fear God.' But the Spirit tells us, "To work out your own salvation with fear and
trembling." There was a time, when a believer was spoken of as a "God-fearing man or woman" which all are
nearly extinct ... tell me now, 'we haven't drifted.' "To this man will I [the Lord] look, even to him that is poor
and of a contrite spirit, and trembles at My Word."
Pro 1:7; Ps 103:13; Is 66:2; 1 Pet 2:17.
Y Reverence begets obedience and Irreverence begets disobedience. If we are obedient we can be used in
the ministry of God's Right Hand extended. We can be filled with our own less importance, less self-sufficiency
and talents, by the revelation of His Holy Spirit and be filled with His glory and gifts. People, whether in the
world, or in the church, really do not want to be distracted by what we wear or adorn ourselves with ... but
truly would like to see the Majesty of Jesus' life giving Spirit manifested ... even in our bodies.
What do you say? What did they say?
"We would see Jesus."

Y ''THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD''
LESSON Two
Part One
[The Right Hand Cont'd.]
Y ''LORD of the Universe! How long will You sit upon Your Throne like a mourner in the days of his
mourning with Your Right Hand behind You, and not deliver Your children and 'reveal' Your Kingdom to the
world?''
1) 3 Enoch CH. XLIV 7, P. 138, 139.
The Hebrew Book of 'Three Enoch' tells us that the Lord had His Right Hand laid behind Him...because of the
sin in His 'Inheritance'.
Y The Right Hand or the Right Arm of the Lord represents the actual proof of evidence or the actual
manifestation of the Kingdom of God on earth. That the Right Hand of God laid behind the Lord is a symbol
of His ceasing in His activity in the affairs of His people...whether it is the individual assembly, where two or
three are gathered in His Name in agreement or the individual. Then we go through ritualistic motions day after
day, week after week ... year after year. We become "Talking Heads" just like the world on the Television
Talk Shows! But, God was active in Christ, who said, "Repent, The Kingdom of God is at HAND." Or, The
Right Hand of God is here! How Beautiful!
Y The individual, who needs the second witness, has it in the Person of the Holy Spirit. The Lord told me this
when there was only my Sister to stand with me...being accused by others, that I was bewitching people and
Satan anoints people too.
The Lord Jesus gave me these scriptures one
day when I was crushed deeply in my spirit
"If I bear witness of myself, My witness is not true. There is ANOTHER who bears witness of Me, and I
know that the witness which He witnesses of Me is true ... I have a greater witness than that of John's; for the
works the Father has given Me to finish
. . . the very works that I do .. .bear witness of Me, that the Father has SENT Me."
2) John 5:31-47.
Praise the Lord Jesus, because, from that moment on I was never afraid to move 'when' the Spirit moved nor
could I care less then nor now what anyone had to say about me! This is why one must learn the leading of the
Holy Spirit that God has given each individual believer in order to direct him/her! That is the voice we tune our
ear to hear. . ."What the Spirit is saying to the Churches. He that hath an ear to hear, let him/her hear."
Y THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES
"Then the Pharisees and Sadducees came, and 'testing' Him asked that He would show them a sign from
heaven. He answered them, "When it is evening you say, 'It will be fair weather, for the sky is red;' and in the
morning, 'it will be foul weather
today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Hypocrites! You know how to discern the face of the sky, but you
cannot discern the signs of the times." Or, the signs of God's Right Hand.
3) Mt 16:1-3.
What signs was Jesus referring to which the Pharisees and Sadducees could not discern?
It was this. . . "the signs and wonders which He worked among them which
Y 2
produced the proof that the Messiah and the Kingdom [reign] had come in the Power of the Holy Spirit, and
that, as the Scriptures declared, "He would put on the armor of God and make His own Right Arm to be His
salvation or deliverance. . [to rule for Him] and He became His own Intercessor." AND, "Although He had
done so many 'signs' [of the times] before them, they did not believe in Him ... Lord who has believed our
report? And to whom has 'THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED/MANIFESTED?"
4) Mt 16:1-3; Jn 12:37-38.
Y What did the Apostle Paul write to the believers regarding the same armor for the warring intercessor of
God, and then with the SWORD of the Spirit ... which would make him/her God's own Intercessor and Right
Hand extended, that is, the Kingdom of the Messiah manifested? [Note the Sword cuts both ways.]
5) Eph 6:14 seq.
Hear these Prophetic Scriptures:
"Here am I and the children whom
the Lord has given Me!
We are for SIGNS AND WONDERS
in Israel [Natural & Spiritual.]
From the Lord of hosts,
Who dwells in Mount Zion. . . . .
Should not a people seek their God?"
6) Isa 8:18 seq.; Heb 2:13.
"Hear O Joshua, the High Priest,
[foreshadowing Yeshua, the Branch, and the
children God has given Him.]
You and your companions who
sit before you,
For they are SIGNS AND WONDERS
[PORTENTS, A WONDROUS SIGN]."
7) Zech 3:6-8.
Y WE ARE THAT BODY, THE
"SIGNS OF THE TIMES!"
WONDROUS SIGN
Strong's #4159:
A miracle, sign, token, wonder. Used 36 times in the O.T. it's first occurrance is in Ex 4:21, where God
mentions the "wonders" that Moses will perform before Pharaoh.
[With an outstretched Arm/Hand]. . . .it is translated 'miracle' and 'sign' and Ezekiel is discribed as a 'sign'
himself to the House of Israel. Saints, how much more should we who are called by His Name be for SIGNS
AND WONDERS IN THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD MANIFESTING THE 'GLORY' OF GOD. . "FOR
IT IS YOUR FATHER'S GOOD WILL TO GIVE YOU THE KINGDOM, FEAR NOT LITTLE FLOCK.
SELL WHAT YOU HAVE AND GIVE TO THE POOR. . . .FOR WHERE YOUR TREASURE IS
THERE WILL YOUR HEART BE ALSO," SAID JESUS.
8) Ezk 12:6, 11; 24:24, 27; Lk 12:32,33.
"O sing a new song! For He has done
marvelous things;
His Rifgt Hand and His Holy Arm have
gained Him the victory."
9) Ps 98:1,2.
Y When, one day, I was shown that the saints could expect God to work with them in delivering people who
needed to be 'healed' ... [of whatever their bondage was, because it is all considered healing] I said with
amazement, "I didn't know we could expect God to do that!"
I had to go 'outside' the walls of the 'church'
Y 3
in order to learn and be equipped
for the work of the ministry of the Holy Spirit. [And I am not speaking here of a Bible School]. This is so
very, very sad!!! I believe the indiviual 'church' should have it's own 'School of Ministry' and be able to equip
people to be the "Signs and Wonders" of the Lord's Right Hand.
When I look over the congregations I see on Christian Television and knowing that most of the believers are
not active in producing the proof of the Resurrection of Christ in power, I get sick in my spirit. I'm meaning the
character of life.
I remember how our forefathers were persecuted and suffered martyrdom in order to translate the Word of
God into the language of the people ... they 'taught' them to be able to read and we, who call ourselves
'Christians', yet, spend a few minutes of our time each day, if that, in fellowship with the Lord and His Word,
still expect to be the overcomers who are to reign with Him and inherit the Kingdom, I marvel that we can be
so tricked by false hood! This is a religious spirit and the Lord knows we have plenty of that in us! It's called
selfdeception.
Y If the born again one after a year or two doesn't begin to grow-up ... then Babies Blame Yourself. We are
told in Hebrews Six to leave the elementary teachings of Jesus ... and go on to perfection. Then those who
have gone on should be teaching others what is being revealed to them as they travel on to different levels and
glories in the Lord. But because the Shepherds haven't gone on themselves ... they will not allow those who
have to teach, train and transfer the Spirit that is upon them to anyone else! It is absolutely true when it is said,
"A person is a product of his or her enviornment."
JUST TAKE A LOOK AROUND. The people said of the disciples, "They were ignorant and unlearned men
... but they knew that they had been with JESUS."
Y The Lord says, "Behold My Hand is not shortened that it cannot deliiver,
Nor My ear heavy that it cannot hear."
So why does'nt He stretch out My Hand? Why does He not hear?
"Your iniquities have separated you from Your God;
And your sins have hidden My face from you.
Your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has
muttered perversity,
No one calls for justice, no one pleads for TRUTH.
You trust in EMPTY WORDS and speak lies."
9) Isa 58:1 seq.
Y BE YOUR OWN INTERCESSOR
AND WALK UPRIGHT
The Lord, after seeing this condition of His people, He then said, "He would be the Intercessor and His own
Arm of Righteousness would sustain Him." This is exactly what He expects His disciples to be and do. When
the 'Intercessor' pleads with the Lord in prayer and is in the Word EACH DAY before beginning his/her day, I
believe, that that one is anointed to do the work of the Holy Spirit's outstretched hand in whatever situation
he/she finds him/herself to do. I know this to be the truth. The problem with our believing this though, is our
lack of 'training, teaching, faith' and disciplining oneself, walking before God with a clear
"conscience."
The pattern for us is our Lord Himself. We
Y 4
know from the "Gospels" His 'pattern of habit' before dawn every morning. He 'interceded' for the people He
was to minister to, He also ministered to His Father. He asked that the Right Hand of the Kingdom would be
revealed with "signs & wonders, so that, His Father's Name might be
glorified." Grant that Your will be done today My Father...and I praise and thank You for it. I know that He
received instructions and visions from the Spirit
How do I know He prayed in this manner? He taught His disciples by example to do the same. When He and
His disciples left camp for the day ... He never stopped to pray to His Father
regarding any questions asked of Him nor did He lift His voice to the Father when He healed the sick or cast
out devils. He only had to command or state, 'Let it be so.' And the angels were obeying in their appointed
ministries.
A prime example of this is what Jesus said at the 'tomb of Lazaaarus.' After they rolled the stone away, He
said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me." When was that? It was in the early dawn that morning in
prayer. "And I know that You always hear Me, [I don't need to pray now], but because of the people who
are standing by I said this, that they may believe You SENT Me." Then He revealed or manifested the Right
Hand of God in His Glory shouting with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!' This is our pattern, Saints! This is
the method Jesus taught His disciples. By My Spirit, by the Finger of God on His Right Hand!
John 11:1-44.
Y Do we understand why a Minister of God should walk into his pulpit or platform with confidence? It is
because of his own petition before the Lord expecting the Lord to be at his right hand with His Right Hand to
do, to confirm His own word. The Lord Jesus said, "God is at My right hand...that I should not be moved." I
feel sorry for Pastors who have to enter their pulpit, after some worship singers or singer who
have not spent time with the Lord as he has, and then try to bring the Spirit's anointing into the assembly of the
congregation. It would be so wonderful if 'he' could just walk into the 'anointing' that had been created for him
by a singer or singers who truly were anointed themselves. SELAH! Sometimes I think, 'Pastor, forget all the
chit-chat, announcments should be overwith ... in the anointing created for you just begin to speak your
anointedn Word.'
Y It was the Lord's intended purpose for
THE CHURCH to be the 'HEALING CENTER' in the Kingdom on earth as He demonstrated it to His
disciples. We need to demonstrate this very power ... because this is the reason why people come to the
'Christian' seeking supernatural help! I pray the Lord will lay His Hand upon those who truly want to be
discipled for 'doing the
WORKS of the Kingdom with Christ Jesus'.
"Many of us are called, but few of us answer the call and then are chosen."

"SPIRITUAL BREAKTHROUGH"
Lesson Two
Part Two
[Right Hand of God Cont'd.]
Y Spiritual Breakthrough
One of the greatest teachers that I have sat under, although I have never met him personally,
is brother Morris Cerullo. And I am taking portions of his teachings for us to 'study' from his prophetic words
to a generation of believers who answer the call in obedience to the Holy Spirit. These disciplined
bondservants will not be able to straddle the fence and compromise with the worlds methods of harvesting and
sustaining their spiritual life, nor can they be 'uncommitted' any longer.
Y When in December of 1976, I attended one of Brother Cerullo's seminars, in San Diego, California, it
happened on the closing day, I, with many others, passed through a line of 'elders' [?] who anointed us with
oil. As I remember, there were perhaps fifteen or more elders and each one anointed us. However, there was
one black man whose anointing was different than all the others, at least on me. The oil 'may' have been in the
hollow of his left hand and with his right hand's forefinger dipped into the oil, he then "rubbed in a circle"
several times the oil into the center of my forehead! Then I passed on through the line. Brother Cerullo laid his
hands on each of us having passed through the anointing line.
Within one half hour, on our way back to Visalia, California, the center of my forehead begin to burn like fire.
It was so hot I thought of placing a cold compress on it. I asked my boss, who went with me, if there was a
red spot on my forehead. He ansered, "No, I can't see anything." My forehead continued to burn with intense
heat untill we arrived home which was about a six hour drive.
Each day thereafter, the firey anointing spread down over my eyes to my cheek bones, then as I pressed on in
my dedication, the anointing raised to the crown of my head also. Many times, while working, I had to get up
and walk around thinking my head would cool down a bit. Then about eight months later, with my yearning to
know the Holy Spirit's voice, the Lord begin to anoint my inner right ear. It was such an intense heat I would
place the tip of my little or forefinger into my ear and rub. I often tried to explain the heat like "dry ice" might
feel. To this very moment I cannot discribe this anointing ... except I have learned what the different anointings
are for. And little did I know what ministry of 'warfare' Jesus had called me to. I had at first no idea what was
trying to attack me in the unseen world of the spirit. But I tell you this . . . I was as bold as 'hell' . . . just as they
were against me!
Y Saints,we need to learn this,when I was ministering to individuals who had been involed in different kinds of
demonic activity, that person would fall into a trance; I could hear in my 'right ear' 'electronic
Y 6
beeping and pulsating sounds' . . .static, strange sounds which I had never heard before until this age of
technology, which we live in right now! That should tell us something . . . don't you think?
These unclean demons caused terrible static on our phones. And I remember one time, Satan blew out all four
of our telephone transformer units at the same time at the Visalia TraveLodge where I was resident manager.
My Sis and I were in the middle
of a deliverance involving a demonize young girl who was a patient at Tulare View Hospital. Her mother was
allowed to bring her home at night and return her in the morning. The demons [ten, sometimes more or less]
followed her home! She could see them walking up and down the corridors and in the rooms. They entered
and left the patients at will. The medical staff had and have not a clue what they are dealing with! And they
cannot be told anything either!
Y Believe me when I tell you . . . you are not warring against flesh and blood; you are warring against powers
and rulers of the darkness of this world... and as Brother Cerullo says, "DON'T TAKE IT LIGHTLY!!!" I
could relate many more 'real life stories' my sister, Jackie, and I have experienced, and how God stretched
out His Right Hand . . . working with us! Believe what is written in the Word regarding our enemy because
his
stratagies have only become more 'like light' than ever before . . . and especially in the 'CHURCH'.
Consider your old man dead . . . and learn who you are in Christ Jesus and to what levels you can attain to in
Him! With the war in Iraq I was taught by the Spirit what the Lord is doing among His people.
We are tole that this war with Iraq cannot be won with only our Air Command ... but we need our Ground
Forces as well. After the planes have accomplished their work then the Infantry is sent in.
You see, God is positioning a group of saints to be in the 'air force' ... Strategic Air Command. That is, waging
war in the heavenlies in prayer and God sending His angels in response to those prayers loosing and binding
the Enemy as He did in the day of Moses which we have already learned. This gives the infantry, ships at sea,
et cetra freedom to work God's work! This will give us the "Breakthrough" in the Spirit Realm!
To me, the greatest hindrance to tbe believers today, as in many other generations, is the casual la-dee-da
teaching regarding sin. We should not
blame Israel for the sins it commited when the 'Christian' Church is full of worldiness and idoatry.We cannot
go on with the Lord as long as we live this hypocritical kind of life. If we, who call ourselves by His Name, do
not repent and turn from all of our wicked ways , , , we will find ourselves in outter darkness. We are told to
be found BLAMELESS at His coming.
Y THE INBREAKING OF GOD
"A POWERFUL SPIRITUAL FORCE IS ABOUT TO BE RELEASED WITHIN THE BODY OF
CHRIST,
THAT WILL BRING ABOUT THE GREATEST MANIFESTATION OF THE POWER OF GOD THAT
THE WORLD HAS EVER SEEN."
Y 7
"This powerful spiritual force is going to make the Church the all-powerful SUPERNATURAL
"ORGANISM" God intended for it to be . . . including even the manifestation of what was experienced in the
birthing of the early Church two thousand years ago," prophesied the prophet Morris Cerullo.
He continues, "Never forget it and 'by revelation' understand it, that the Church was born two thousand years
ago a baby, not full grown. It has gone through tests and trials, and the workings and the dealings of God in the
lives of it's children:
a) Maturing
b) Coming into understanding
c) Partaking in revelation
d) Being moved upon by the Holy Spirit.
There is a powerful spiritual force . . . and it is imminent. It is not years into the future, but it is at our very
doorstep."
Y If you remember in our 'Faith' Lesson . . . Margaret Macdonald prophesied in 1830 when the Spirit
came upon her, "that there was to be a glorious 'inbreaking' of God as the Body of Christ had never known
before, and that this Body would be filled with the fullness of God and reared up, and that persecutions would
increase from antichrists in the same measure that the Holy Spirit was out poured. Also, many in the Body of
Christ would fall way."
I also shared the 'revelation' given to Marvin Ford, having died, and being taken to heaven...the Lord
Jesus gave him a message for those who have hears to hear. "He [Jesus] would come TO His Church in an
unpresedented way before He came FOR His Church. 'Unpresedented' means not the same as was
previously known or done: different and fresh.
I heard a TV evangelist say this very same thing just yesterday on TBN .
Y I believe we need to focus our eyes on the FACE of Christ in order to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit. His
first priority for us, His saints, is to be blameless, without spot or wrinkle and to be walking in complete
holiness. I know we don't
like to hear that...but His Glory will not be manifested in unclean bodies...and I pray ministers will begin to
walk it, 'wear' it, and preach it loud and clear...because there will be two lampstands that are a church militant
in the power of the Spirit proclaiming the Gospel with God's stretched out Armworking SIGNS &
WONDERS confirming His Word!
One thing for certain, it is not a harley davidson, painted faces, high fashion clothing, silk suits, showboat
music, and dancers, [that dazzle the eye] trying to inspire admiration for the Gospel of the Kingdom, that will
work God's works. NO, these air-borne militant saints are wearing 'SACKCLOTH'. . . Selah!
Y REVIVAL OR HARVEST
"There is a great difference between revival and harvest. To understand the great difference we must go very
deep in the Spirit to grasp His revelation. What God will do through harvest in these last days... before the
Day of the Lord... will far outweigh what God will do in revival."
"Revival is when you take something that was dead and revive it . . . bring it back to life. Harvest is different.
It is when something NEW springs forth.
Y 8
God is bringing REALITIES into our hearts because we hunger and thirst for HIM and HIM alone." M.C. .
. . Remember Margaret Mcdonald's prophetic message, "Now shall the Body of Christ know 'realities'! Stop
receiving into your spirits teachings and music that does not have God's seal of approval on it.
"Brothers and Sisters, we cannot be spiritual scientists placing God's word in test tubes. Can you imagine
Jesus looking at the leper and saying, "Well, I'm not sure whether My word is going to work, but I'll try and
see what happens."
This move that Jesus is doing now is not for us to test." M.C. And surely not for us to TEST the Lord any
longer; we might find ourselves dropping dead in the presence of this Anointing! Stop making God's House a
House of Merchandise and Entertainment . . . His House, who we are, is a House of PRAYER . . . made up
of all nations!!!
Y The other day my son, Greg, stated that they had changed the wording regarding the 'Wrestling Match' on
TV to 'Wrestling Entertainment' because it wasn't REAL.
I said, "You hit the nail right on the head! ENTERTAINMENT IS NOT THE REAL THING!" Saints, it is not
REAL!
O that we could see and understand that!
I am reminded what the Lord said to his disciples, who were called to the 'Harvest Fields', when He
descended from the mountain where He was transfigured. A man came to Him and begged Him to deliver his
son who was demon possessed saying, "I TOOK HIM TO YOUR DISCIPLES . . . BUT THEY COULD
NOT HEAL HIM."
And our meek and mild Jesus said, "HOW LONG MUST I PUT UP WITH YOU! . . . BRING HIM HERE
TO ME." Does this not tell us something about what the Lord has been saying to the Church?
Why do we pursue every stinking program to win the lost and mature the saints but the one and only program
that the Lord commanded us to follow? When they responed to His rebuke by asking, "Why could not we
cast it out?" He answered, "because you have no faith." What faith is that, you ask? His very words, the
'reality' of His "show and tell".
He had been teaching them and showing them and had sent them out not only to preach the message of the
Kingdom but to actually show by demonstration that the Kingdom is at hand/here, now. That is, tell them and
demonstrate the Power and Authority of it! It was confirmed by God. It was a must then and it is a must now
for the 'disciples' to come into the MIND OF CHRIST which is the MIND of the Holy Spirit. We are not to
gather together in His Name to be entertained! O God deliver us from this deceiving fleshly activity!
Y O Preachers and Teachers, rather instead, equip the sheep with the armor of God and the Sword of the
Spirit . . . lest they find themselves one evil Day without any extra oil in their lamps. And we have to give an
account to God for our actions . . . 'being the cares of this world and the decietfulness of 'riches' which has
produced the "Laodicean" Church of America'!
We are attending the "Living Word Church" in Edmond, Oklahoma. I must say our Apostle, Prophet, and
Pastor are preaching and teaching the 'five-fold ministry' equpping the saints. We are a multi-cultured
Y 9
congregation. And we love it! I can think of six different nations represented in our local Assembly.
The Church has recently opened a new ministry called ...
"The School of The Prophets".
Y I have given you George Wahington's Vision which was given to him in 1776-7, by America's Angelic
Prince, showing him her destiny . I believe we are at that 'time and season'.
Y AN UPDATE WAS GIVEN ON JANUARY 7, 2002.
On Benny Hinn's program, This is Your Day, Dutch Sheets and Cindy Jacobs were guests. They spoke of an
"Angel ", wrpped in the American flag, which the Lord had given them in a vision, and said it was the Angel of
America. I called the Angel, in the vision of George Washington, "The Prince of the Union", because
Scriptures name Angels the "Prince of that Nation" which it is prince of or over. See Daniel. The Angel that
appeared to George Washington wore a 'bright band around his forehead' that read "Union" and addressed
the president, "Son of the Republic."
