Dear Saints,
The Lord has offered to us the opportunity of partnering with Him in what is to come, and unreservedly we say, “yes,” that the will of the heavenly Father may be accomplished throughout the earth. [Apostle]
Answering the call to come up higher, we are established at His right hand, anointed for clarity of direction to go forth in the boldness of His Spirit as the waters of life flow freely, miraculously touching peoples and nations. [Evangelist]
At His commissioning, we stand ready to expand and teach the deeper things of God to all the world, making new disciples. Standing in His purpose together as one, our partnership with the Father is secure, and we are undeterred by the enemy’s opposition. With increased sensitivity to the directive of the Father, and secure in our connections as the body of Christ, we move forward in the brightness of a sunrise of a new day. [Teacher]
Earnestly we seek first His Kingdom, knowing that what we have need of, He is supplying. Equipped with fresh armor and supply in partnership with the angelic, we fight and overcome principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places. He is with us in this pathway as a lamp unto our feet and a light unto our path. Wisdom is ours at every step. [Prophet]
With diligence we have labored to build a spiritual house for the habitation of the living God, a place of worship and commune, and for honor and service to Him. We are blessed with His presence always, even to the end of the world. We are one with the Father, and we abandon ourselves to Him! [Pastor]

First Saturday Prayer Insights Report
September 2024
The Lord stands with us in this hour, and offers us the opportunity of partnering with Him in what is to come. It is up to us to welcome Him, and to do whatever is required in serving Him and the will of the heavenly Father. What a time to be alive, and what a blessing to be offered such a privilege!
~ ~ ~
Sensed a deep measure of establishing at the right hand, and the subsequent anointing for gleaning clarity of direction going forth. Also, God is soon to be placing us in crucial scenarios where we must obediently speak to the rock. As we do, we will witness the generous flow of the water of life, His Spirit miraculously touching peoples and nations.

The Fathers Church received many years ago a prophetic word about our church being a little Bethlehem signifying “the house of bread.” Another name for Bethlehem is Ephrath which is fruitfulness. The saints of our church and network have been slowly building this house that God would choose to put His name here. It is a convenient location in Texas where both the priests and people worship and commune in the presence of God. In the Old Testament, the people lamented that the ark of God was obscure and located in a remote place for they were inquisitive and looking for answers. The ark was found in a town called the city of woods for over twenty years and was eventually brought to Jerusalem. We have been laboring to spiritually construct for twenty years as well in a wooded area of Dallas a footstool where God could take up residence and where we would be fruitful. All of us have labored to build this house for honor and service to God. Our church is the house of the living God and it is His rest forever, and we will be blessed with His presence always, even to the end of the world. God made promises to David in Psalm 132 and we are recipients of these blessings as well.
Psalm 132:1-18 LORD, remember David, and all his afflictions: 2 How he sware unto the LORD, and vowed unto the mighty God of Jacob; 3 Surely I will not come into the tabernacle of my house, nor go up into my bed; 4 I will not give sleep to mine eyes, or slumber to mine eyelids, 5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, an habitation for the mighty God of Jacob. 6 Lo, we heard of it at Ephratah: we found it in the fields of the wood. 7 We will go into his tabernacles: we will worship at his footstool. 8 Arise, O LORD, into thy rest; thou, and the ark of thy strength. 9 Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness; and let thy saints shout for joy. 10 For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed. 11 The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. 12 If thy children will keep my covenant and my testimony that I shall teach them, their children shall also sit upon thy throne for evermore. 13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation. 14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it. 15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread. 16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy. 17 There will I make the horn of David to bud: I have ordained a lamp for mine anointed. 18 His enemies will I clothe with shame: but upon himself shall his crown flourish.

While in prayer, I received a vision of a person standing in a pasture all alone. It seemed like it was winter because the grass was dead and there were dark clouds in the sky. The longer I looked at the vision the more it began to change, the grass began to turn green and the sun started to shine. This represents the season we go through as Saints; we are one with the Father and all we need to do is abandon ourselves to Him. The seasons may change, but our place with the Father never does, we are one with Him.

I kept hearing “transition” and “shift”.
This will need to be prayed into, but I was feeling that our biannual seminars would transition to seminars in the nations rather than in Dallas, and that the Saints would gather in the nations. I also felt that God was going to bring breakthroughs where people have become stuck in routines that are keeping them from moving forward.
There was a strong presence of the Lord being facilitated by the playlist that was on, and I was able to go into a deep place of prayer, but after a time, as if to emphasize what the Spirit was saying about shifting, Don Potter’s Come Up Here song came on and it created such a dramatic atmosphere shift that it pulled me, and others, I noted, right out of our prayer journey.

I felt called to pray between the truth and mercy gates. A wheel was pushing water into our altar area. Above the water wheel structure I noticed an electric turquoise blue color through the cracks. Looking down into the water I saw little metallic bubbles in the water.
Diving down to the bubbles they looked like iridescent rocks and they looked much larger. They were pieces of gold.
I knew there was some correlation to the opposite corner in the sanctuary where the storehouse is located, and I felt led to go praise Him in that corner.
While praising Him I was calling forth these deep corridors to be opened for us, and I was welcoming more heavenly hosts to join and praise with us.

Nature declares the glory of the Lord. Look up, lift up your eyes to the King of Glory. Psalm 19:1-6; Isaiah 40:25-26; Isaiah 51:4-6
Psalm 119:105 Thy word:
– lamp unto our feet – candle, lamp, glistening/ sparkling.
– light unto our path – bright, clear, illuminating light, as a flood light.

I saw the saints all kneeling on a narrow path that extended beyond them and then began to branch off, much like a connection of spider veins. They were all part of the same path, but it extended off in many directions. The kneeling saints had their arms raised and from Heaven, a sword descended to tap each saint on their shoulders, as though they were being knighted. Then I saw angels come behind them and begin to place distinct pieces of armor on them. This gathering is definitely a time of unique commissioning by the Spirit that will expand the saintly message into all sorts of places across the earth that have been reserved for the times of the end. Father is using the partnership of the angelic to help equip us with fresh armor and supply, that will not only help us teach the deeper things to new disciples, but to fight against and overcome the principalities, the powers, the rulers of darkness of this world, and spiritual wickedness in high places. In many ways, this timeframe is like a call to arms – a marshalling time to stand ready to move at a moment’s notice for end-time missions.

Proverbs 8:1-3 Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice? 2 She standeth in the top of high places, by the way in the places of the paths. 3 She crieth at the gates, at the entry of the city, at the coming in at the doors. Wisdom at each step is ours.

2 Corinthians 6:1 We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
Hebrews 12:14-15 Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
God was speaking to me about the necessity of partnering together with one another, as well as with Him.

Our connections with one another as the body of Christ and our partnership with the Father are being made secure. We stand in God’s purpose as one, undeterred by the enemy’s opposition. Our sensitivity to the directive of the Father is increasing, so that we are instant in season and out. These things of our secure connections and our increased sensitivity are causing the saints to move forward in the brightness of a sunrise of a new day.

I kept seeing scenes of Samson. Slaying the lion then returning to take honey from the carcass and bringing down the Philistine temple with his right hand on one pillar and his left hand on the other pillar. This after being blinded due to his own disregard for the Lord’s anointing.

I saw us upon mount Zion. The Lord came to commune with us.
We were being instructed how to position ourselves correctly to walk in His path of inheritance He is leading us in.
From this place we stood on mount Zion I could see a valley below. A great waterfall flowed from the mount down to the valley where there was a huge fountain. The waters flowed out from the fountain as far as the eye could see, covering the whole earth.
Joshua 1:5-9 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Be strong and of a good courage: for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. Only be thou strong and very courageous, that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest. This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success. Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.
Joel3:18 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow with milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow with waters, and a fountain shall come forth of the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.

I heard “Repent for the Kingdom of the Lord is at hand.” I then saw the Saints standing in a single line waiting to go through a doorway, each one was carrying a suitcase. As we took our turn to cross over the threshold into the new horizon, we were required to leave our suitcase at the door. We were not permitted to cross over with it. We cannot bring anything old or from the past with us into this new terrain. We must enter with a renewed mind, not letting what we see or hear keep us from achieving what God has for us in this new season. We must earnestly seek first His Kingdom fully believing that everything we have need of will be supplied for us and, in fact, is already waiting for us.

In prayer I saw a group of people trying to cross a rushing river. There seemed no way to cross, but then a stone pillar rose up out of the water. The leader stepped onto it and as he looked for the next place to step, another rose up and then another, all across the wide water. Each one only appeared as needed and then disappeared after the last person crossed. When all were safely across, we looked back and marveled at God’s remarkable provision as there was once again no obvious way across the water. It reminded me of the parting of the Red Sea. It was something only God could do, came at the perfect moment of necessary timing, each piece only came as the step was being taken. God is good and will surely make a way even when there seems to be no way.

This was a joyful and tearful moment of intercession for my histemi, Dallas and Brazil. Guided by these verses in,
Isaiah 61.3-4.
To appoint unto them that mourn in Tziyon, to give them beauty for ashes,
the oil of joy for mourning, the garnet of praise for joy the spirit of heaviness,
that they might be called trees of righteousness,
the planting of the Lord Yehovah, that He might be glorified.
And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations,
and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
He is with us in this pathway.

September 2024 – Summary
Led by the Spirit to turn fully toward the new horizon, abandoning the things of the past and all that might hold us back, as saints and sons, united in heart and mind, consumed by His passion, we say, Here I am, send me! (Apostle)
By leaving our securities in the perspective of advancing into the new, we walk by faith and not by sight, and the Lord assures us of His provision to get us through this season clothed in our identity as sons of the Most High God! (Pastor)
Positioned for a time like this and equipped to embrace new depths of the Spirit, we surrender our thoughts to be free to respond to the Spirit’s injunctions and press toward His heart to run toward the goal! (Teacher)
Desiring an expansion in our ability to breathe in His breath, our supplication ascends to the Father in the offering of ourselves, so that we become like lungs charged with divine breath, continually breathing in and out things from above to earth. (Prophet)
As we approach the year of Judgment and Burning, the Lord’s grace is there to move circumspectly toward the goal and embrace what He has planned from all eternity, and as His fire sets us ablaze and transforms us, His light comes to illuminate the darkness and bring His life! (Evangelist)

September 2024 – Report
The spirit reminded me of a vision he’d given me in early 2023 in which there was a basin with fountains. A river flowed out of the basin. The sculpture adorning the fountains that fed the river was like a large palm leaf that covered the entire width of the river. I think this palm leaf is the image of Jesus who takes us from one side of the river to the other, who allows us to cross it.

At the beginning, I felt like a call to stop thinking, to stop everything, and the Spirit showed me for the second time wings spread out in white, I felt that I could fly in the spirit, I perceived the power of the beating of my wings which made me go up more and more, I saw a lot of light, under my wings, the shadow was light of life. I was reminded that we have all been given “kanaph” wings, which are also a garment, our identity as sons of the Most High God. These wings are powerful enough to lift us close to His heart; they burn with the fire of His passion, but are not consumed…
As I prayed for the saints, God showed me an orchard, He showed me that physically the Amazon trees were the lungs of the earth but that spiritually, His orchard was His inspiration and His exhalation, His response…

2 Corinthiens 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight🙂
~ ~ ~
During this time of prayer, I saw an incandescent lava flow with brilliant red-orange and orange-red colors in the middle of the night.
It moved and traced its path gently and as if, to express what I felt, as if in a quiet assurance, without any doubt, without any uncertainty! As if this lava had an intelligence or a thought and a purpose!
Nothing could stand in its way and by daybreak, the landscape had changed. Nothing was as before.
Prayer to be washed and purified by the Blood, of everything that has been up to now: Eyes, ears, mouth, heart and I had the passage
Isaiah 6:1-8 1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the LORD sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. 2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly. 3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. 4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. 5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts. 6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. 8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.

A time of reflecting upon the Pathway of Purpose, where the Lord, by His Grace has positioned us . At the same time very aware of the need to go forward and embrace the new depths of the Spirit of the Lord, that He desires to lead us into.
To be an offering unto Him, open and available to His Spirit.
Philippians 3: 12-14 12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus. 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Amen

The Spirit brought my thoughts back to the seal of the New Testament, and its phren root that gives us the impulsion to breathe in His breath, and in this season, to go even deeper into His breath with this yearning, this supplication for Him to expand our capacity to breathe in, to function by giving of ourselves, and then to breathe out on earth what comes from above, like a lung, that of the saints, as channels of His life so that it may be communicated and established through the message entrusted to us. In the midst of these thoughts, I saw a place where the earth was turning green.

What is our purpose in this season? Like the principle “Grace, grace” (the double repetition of a word in the Bible illustrated by Zechariah 4:7), there is an invitation from God to pay attention to the purpose He gives us in this season.
We feel this emphasis in the spirit of the seminar theme “Pathway to Purpose”. We more or less know the broad outlines of God’s plan for our lives, but at this particular time God is releasing a special grace.
This is a season of transition in preparation for the year of the Spirit of Judgment and Fire as our Son.
Psalm 119:105 Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.
