Grace and peace to all the Saints!
As the eschatological scriptures are being fulfilled in our midst, we continue in His Presence, aligning ourselves with the Father’s calling, functioning in His eternal will. [Pastor]
Having triumphed in His grace over pains and challenges of the past, let us rejoice with the Father in the vision He has given. [Teacher]
Moving with Him in the breath of His Spirit, we transition into His new horizon of service. May we not become weary; rather, let us be vigilant in prayer, enduring with patience and worship until breakthrough is realized and we are drawn up and beyond the borders of our spiritual existence. [Apostle]
The flaming sword of the Lord goes before us in judgment and grace, and humbly we arise so that we might shine in the midst of the darkness of these strange days. [Evangelist]
We dwell in the secret place of the Most High, and we have no need to fear. Through our intimacy with Him, He strengthens us with might by His Spirit to stand against evil forces. The Lord is our strength and song, and He is become our salvation. Our affections are set upon Him, and we will declare His doings among the nations. [Prophet]
The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him. Exodus 15:2

First Saturday Prayer Insights Report
April 2023
The saints are living in an unprecedented moment in time. So much is transpiring in the natural, as the eschatological scriptures are being fulfilled in our midst. While spiritual and natural shifts can be unsettling and disturbing to us, we must constantly align ourselves with His calling and eternal will. In this month of the fast of feasting, we have to ask God to cleanse us from our proclivities to act or react in the natural to the wickedness and challenges surrounding us. Such a miracle transcends our natural capabilities, understandings or trained responses. While each of these have an important place in our lives, we must recognize our desperate need for a spiritual empowering beyond even our pneumatikos positioning. We need Him and His light in the midst of these strange days. We humbly arise so we might shine as His light is beginning to make itself known.
~ ~ ~
Continuing to welcome and rest in His Presence, knowing all things flow from this dynamic of function in Him. Also feel a strong pull in my spirit, drawing me up and beyond the borders of our spiritual existence. It is like breakthrough in the most extraordinary way.

In Mark’s gospel, he shares the words of Christ given in a parable and three times the Lord emphasized the word, watch (to be vigilant), in a three-fold promise-selah-fulfillment pattern. We know that selah is an intercessory word and warfare term introduced at the end of a promise. Our Father releases to us power or exousia to explode upon circumstances He grants in a prophetic challenge or promise for us to arise. It is followed by a selah which is an undetermined amount of time where we exercise patience which is the second watch in verse 35. This second selah is the gap between promise and fulfillment and is where we must be willing to endure until the breakthrough of the spirit is evident in our hearts and the promise is realized which is the last watch in verse 37.
Some of us have been wearied in the selah waiting and have fallen asleep through inactivity and lack of prayer. The selah is to endure with patience and worship until the acceptance and answer are obtained. The enemy will attempt to hide the need for the selah encounter by providing a substitute. We must rouse ourselves and collect all our facilities and take a stand. By pouring ourselves out before God in absolute abandonment, we recognize that He is our deliverer and source of supply.
Mark 13:34-37 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far (absent from one’s own people) journey, who left his house, and gave authority (exousia) to his servants, and to every man his work, and commanded the porter to watch. 35 Watch ye therefore: for ye know not when the master of the house cometh, at even, or at midnight, or at the cockcrowing, or in the morning: 36 Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping. 37 And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.

While I was praying, I felt oil being poured on my forehead. An intense heat spread over me and I began to smell frankincense. At the same time, a verse from Psalm 23 came to me, 5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
We truly don’t need to fear if we are dwelling in the secret place of the Most High.

God is so good, so gracious, and so loving. He is present and providing every opportunity for transformation in order to smoothly transition into His new horizon of service. The past is past, but relevant. It must be viewed through eyes of grace, not bitterness, in order to recognize it as a miraculous journey to where we are now. Every step necessary to our development. We must now rejoice with our Father in what was challenging and painful because we have triumphed in His grace! May we never cease to accept His hand of partnership, whatever the cost. His grace is sufficient for every step!

As I prayed, I sensed a wiping away of things that the enemy intended as a hindrance to partnering with the Father and accomplishing His plan and purpose for the earth.
~ ~ ~
Saw a Delft wooden painted Dutch shoe and is pointing towards East.
Saw a squared tent full of junk and I heard the scripture about “I rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness.” Saw a beautiful bloomed sunflower.
I heard: “Be drunk of the Spirit!”
I saw justice Ketanji Jackson with her glasses on, presiding over something evil and doomed.
Finally, saw a cat sitting on the top of a stand and I felt like that cat was tapping in some sources of evil.

As we enter this Fast of Feasting month, we take the presence of God and move forward in the commissioning of the Lord. Not looking back in past defeats but moving forward in victory for what the Lord wants done. Rejoicing in the vision He has given us and the task at hand. Blessings to all the Saints as we partner with God renewing our mind in the things to come.

I was walking in chest deep water, to and through the reeds.
I felt like there were a lot of saints stretching across a wide area walking along with us toward a horizon also a border. We were combing through this territory, scattering the enemy, but also taking inventory of provisions that were hidden there.
Moving in Him/His breath across the water, our breathing capacity was expanding to accommodate His plan.
I felt led to pray for us, to really cherish and protect this treasure and gift of His breath.
During prayer, Noah came to mind and how he was able to move across the water… and
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
I also saw and heard:
A saint in Arizona and a saint in Florida playing drums at the same time and everyone worshiping.

I was reminded of Samson who lost all his strength through being disobedience. However, when he repents and calls on God, his strength is renewed.
Judges 16: 28 And Samson called unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes.

I saw the saints drawn to a fast deep flowing stream. We were thirsty. We kneeled down to drink. The Lord was watching over us. We all had white linen on. Yet as we knelt down we removed our linens to wash them in the water so they would no longer have any spot or wrinkle upon them.
Those who remained alert and were wearing the fine linen without spot or wrinkle, got up and followed the Lord. I could see our inner being had been strengthened with the power of His might.
Then saw the field where He was leading us to. I saw the sword of the Lord glowing red and orange with flames going before us into the new.
Ephesians 3:14-21 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
Whatever you have affection for is what you will consume and take in (life things or death things). And as a result, that is what will rule your tongue (speech).

To be in line with the month of April and the fast of feasting, I was in intercession with these verses from Isaiah:
Isaiah 12. 3-5. Therefore with joy shall you draw water out of the wells of salvation. 4. And on that day shall you say, Praise the Lord Yehovah, call upon his name, declare his doings among the people, make mention that His Name is exalted. 5. Sing unto the Lord Yehovah, for he has done excellent things; this is known on all the earth.

I am going to heal the Saints of all the wounds of the past.
Particularly those who did not grew up in a Christian family.
The deep wounds of the soul will be completely healed.
So the enemy will not be able to use their past against them.
For those who decided to forgive.
New beginnings, there are some saints who will start a new life this year.
Increase of salaries, new jobs, so the saints will be able to help financially the advancement of the kingdom.

The LORD is my strength.
Exodus 15:2 The LORD is my strength and song, and he is become my salvation: he is my God, and I will prepare him an habitation; my father’s God, and I will exalt him.
It is Moses and the people of Israel who sing this song to the Lord (Yahweh) after crossing the Red Sea, a very large and vast obstacle, impossible for an individual to cross. Moses obeyed God’s command and God’s oz power, His creative power, manifested itself: the waters parted and the Hebrew people were able to cross on dry land.
According to Deuteronomy 34:10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face.
Zechariah 4:6 [6] Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.
The strength of the Lord is our strength against evil forces. This strength comes from our relationship, from our intimacy with God. It is a power that the enemy and his hordes will not be able to resist, for it is not our strength, but the strength of the LORD.

April 2023 – Summary
Clothed in the mantle of mission, we embrace the directive from the right hand of the Throne so that, constantly washed from the past and delivered from all bitterness, we go forward aligned with the eternal Word and, breathing new life, pursue His heart’s purpose for the restoration of all things on earth. (Apostle)
In a vibrant communication between heaven and earth, our eyes are resolutely turned to His purpose. As partners in His ways, we rely on the Spirit to confront what would keep us from going deeper into Him so that we are ready, where He has positioned us, to work in the freedom of the Spirit. (Teacher)
In this prolific season of submitting our lives to Him, He makes us living letters, grants us His wisdom where He positions us as channels of the heavenly provision He pours into our tereo, rekindles our gifts and talents which brings life and fruitfulness to the desolate places of our land. (Prophet)
In His grace, the Lord makes His joy burst forth, fills us with strength and His love as the intercession of the saints expresses itself through sighs that declare His decrees and make the powers of darkness retreat which causes an opening in the sky, and the fire of His presence overwhelms us with His peace. (Evangelist)
Carried together in His breath, the Spirit takes us higher in Him to the high places where we are given to perceive heavenly activity and feel an acceleration in the things of the Spirit commensurate with what the Father’s heart desires to communicate to His saints in the days to come. (Pastor)
My ears had heard (shama) of You, but now my eyes have seen (raah) You. Therefore I retract my words, and I repent (nacham) in dust and ashes.” Job 42:5-6
The Lord is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments. Habakkuk 3:19

April 2023 – Report
It is about breathing, I see a fire rising under God’s exhalation and in response to this exhalation, we breathe in something new. Right after that, we rise like birds carried by ascending winds. This bird lands on a kind of stake that connects the sky and the earth, there is a lot of activity in the heights. Then I see a wheel, like that of a cart, under the impulse of a movement, it starts to turn faster and faster in the direction of the clock. It goes so fast that it opens and becomes a tunnel. Inside everything is dark but I know that God is there, I hear myself praying “Elijah”, at one point everything lights up, it’s gold, I’m in a heavenly place… I feel joy and strength expressed in sighs that are like decrees, they sweep the atmosphere…
~ ~ ~
Vision of green and yellow flowers that are blooming, they seem to be made of crystal and in the middle of them, a vegetation rises like a column, a very dense vegetation. Then vision of a seam in orange threads with two pieces of thick green fabric. Vision of someone climbing up the rungs of a ladder and at the end, songs of praise and thanksgiving.
~ ~ ~
I walked very slowly as if weightless. Then I rubbed my hands and fire came out of my hands. I heard: “I call you, I call you”. He put his hands in my hands and I found myself with Him in the garden of Gethsemane, I was on my knees and I was crying. I heard, “Give me your lives”. Then I followed Jesus on the way to the cross wearing the train of His royal robe, he was wearing a very large crown. Jesus went up to heaven and I went up like a bird, I felt peace, freedom and joy.
~ ~ ~
I heard three times: “write, write, write” and then “you are a living letter”. I saw again this bird that flies in the winds and cannot land because of its feet and then this verse: “He makes my feet like the feet of deer. And he sets me on my high places” (2 Samuel 22:34). Then a vision of a naked man with the helmet of salvation on his head, he was called to cover himself, to take the cloak.
~ ~ ~
Vision of someone on the edge of a beach, a huge wave comes over us and a wall of glass rises to protect us, it goes up to the sky. Vision of people drowning, we are in a kind of dome that protects us from the storms but there is a crocodile in the dome, in the middle of the crowd, I heard: “I put burning coals on your lips, intercede for the nations, be ready, each in his place, you are strategic pawns. The glory of God lit up the dome, we were called to come out of there by rising up under the guidance of the Spirit. Those who did not want to come out were forced to because of the crocodile. And finally this word: “Follow me and I will make you a soul hunter” (Jeremiah 16:16)
~ ~ ~
I feel fear. I see an umbrella that is like a protection and I hear bells ringing. I see a troop of men and women. I feel rest while I am in His hands. Vision of a form that rises with one of its wings weakened as if broken but manages to ascend in praise, the sky is open.
~ ~ ~
Then Job replied to the Lord: “I know (yada) that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted. You asked, ‘Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know (yada). You said, ‘Listen (shama) now, and I will speak (dabar). I will question (shaal) you, and you shall inform (yada) Me.’ My ears had heard (shama) of You, but now my eyes have seen (raah) You. Therefore I retract my words, and I repent (nacham) in dust and ashes.” Job 42:1-6
~ ~ ~
During this time I had the passage from Luke 7, of the centurion having his servant sick and who, not finding himself worthy that Jesus enters under his roof, makes him say:
“Say a word …and my servant will be healed,” Jesus responded, “I tell you, not even in Israel have I found such great faith.”
This short phrase, “Say a word (logos)” kept repeating in my mind.
Being continually washed from our past and delivered from all bitterness, may we continue to work in partnership and alignment with the logos, His eternal Word at His right hand, for the restoration of all things according to His purpose.

At the beginning of our time together we were reflecting upon the given directive for this month, that of not looking back at the past and our need to submit the things that tie us to the past, to the Lord and really let them go.
The Lord gave an image of a person with a strong elastic band stretching back from the person and it was fixed firmly to the ground at a long distance away and the person was not able to move forward because of this, it was like they were held back, limited.
We felt led to pray, to give the Lord permission to cut that elastic and release us from the things binding us, setting us free to move in the freedom of the Spirit of the Lord.
These Scriptures followed.
Isaiah 40:28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the Earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. 29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and young men will utterly fall. 31 But they that waiteth upon the lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; and they shall walk and not faint.
Zechariah 4:6 Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubabbel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit ,saith the Lord of hosts.
Habakkuk 3:18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
19 The Lord is my strength, and he will make my feet like hinds’ feet, and he will make me to walk upon mine high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.
~ ~ ~
It was a fruitful time to reflect on the directive and ask the Holy Spirit how to apply it in our lives during this month of fast and feasting.
During the time of intercession, I received an image that deeply affected me. I saw myself with my forehead leaned against someone’s forehead and I know that in me that it was the Holy Spirit.
It is time to confront the things that keep us from growing closer to Him. It’s time for spring cleaning!
~ ~ ~
I saw three things in succession: a purple cloak, a very bright white staircase and a dark blue atmosphere. It was like a progression: the calling of the sons, the march of the saints to the high places, and this time to shed the old clothes of the past then, the manifestation of the glory.
Zechariah 3:3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. 4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
I felt the joy of submission and of letting myself be stripped of the dirty clothes at the same time as a breath of freedom to continue pursuing the Father’s purpose so that His kingdom comes.
~ ~ ~
I have received this word: People of the earth, be silent before my throne, I am the Holy God! thrice Holy! My thoughts are far above your thoughts and my Ways are far above your ways (Isaiah 55:8)
I had the impression that at one point Jesus was consoling France and giving her back the crown she had lost.
~ ~ ~
I flew like a bird, and I heard myself saying, “Go up higher, go up higher! Go on ahead! and continue the race until the end!
I smelled a very curious scent, it was strong and stung my nostrils; it was like peppermint there was a background of flowers.
I saw the light blue color, holiness.
At one point we sang in unison, it became one sound. The angels had gathered us and were singing with us.
~ ~ ~
I saw France covered with ice. I found myself in the Narnia movie (the White Witch). All of France was frozen, it was all the witchcraft that was done against it and had blocked all the blessings and talents that the Father had placed on this nation. Christ in us was judging witchcraft and like in the movie Narnia, all the power of witchcraft is disappearing and all of France is greening again and all her gifts, talents and purposes are being released.
~ ~ ~
The Lion of Judah has roared many times in the Holy Fire to purify, to burn away the works of darkness to draw His sons and daughters closer to Him, (elevation).
The things of yesterday will not happen again. Put your hands to the plow and never look back.
