End Time regathering of G-d's People in Israel

Repost of word of Lord delivered 2-27-09

This morning at 5:30 am the L-rd spoke a very clear word to me, so much so, that I had to rise quickly out of bed with urgency to write this word from the L-rd. I could have written more but my hand got tired so here is what I received from the L-rd from about the time of 5:45 am - 7:15 am:

Background to the word I received:

 

The first thing I do when I believe the L-rd is going to run some new words through my spirit is to clean up the area around...

The Ministry of the Night

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Thursday, June 16, 2011, In : Encouragement 
A very sweet believer decided one night to send this word from AW Tozar to people on his email list. Ricky Aquas didn't know what I was wrestling with the last few days but this word was exactly what I needed. Let me share it with you struggling saint.

The Ministry of the Night
 
If God has singled you out to be a special object of His grace you may expect Him to honor you with stricter discipline and greater suffering than less favored ones are called upon to endure.

And right here let me an...

2011 Time To Get Ready

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Thursday, June 9, 2011, In : Prophesies 
I received this prophetic word on June 9th 2011. As I read it I began to come to grips with the content. These words synchronize with the words the Lord has been speaking to me this year.

 

Prophesy Cheryl Jones – released June 8 2011


I like to share with you a word the Lord has put upon my heart, to release concerning some of you in this hour. You can no longer ignore your assignment. Some of you can feel the tugging and the pulling from the Lord.


I pray that every heart that reads this, y...

Fire Baptism of Jesus Christ 3

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Tuesday, January 18, 2011, In : Holy Spirit 

Part 3


I Jn. 5:6-8, “This is the one who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood.  And it is the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is the truth.  For there are three that bear witness, the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.” 


While scholarly men still attempt to teach that Pentecost was a one-time historical experience, even to the peril of their hearers, the Lord still baptizes His...

Fire Baptism of Jesus Christ 2

Part 2 - Fire Baptism of Jesus Christ
 


Part 2 


I want to ask this question of those of you who have taken the call to serve Christ with your entire life, “do you believe that Jesus still prepares His servants today to preach His message the same way that His first century disciples were prepared by Him to preach His resurrection on the day of Pentecost?” 


We have this reality in common with the 1st century believers. Like you and I, Christ’s disciples were scared and were waiting for...

Fire Baptism of Jesus Christ 1

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Tuesday, January 18, 2011, In : Holy Spirit 

The Fire Baptism of Jesus Christ!


Part 1

I have witnessed over my most of my adult life such a high level of antagonism, fear, and confusion on what it means to be “baptized” in the Holy Spirit. What we might call the immersion of fire, or, immersion in the Holy Spirit.

 


In this writing, I hope to reshape, in biblical fashion, the conversion experience that was intended to be normative for all believers in Jesus – Yahshua. That the baptism experience of the Holy Spirit is to ...

God the Holy Spirit - Part 1

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Monday, December 6, 2010, In : Holy Spirit 

God The Holy Spirt


For so many people in the church today there remains a great misunderstanding about God the Holy Spirit. But current spiritual landscape dictates that we face head-on things of the spirit realm.  Strong delusions are coming to the church that will force us to agree with God and His "sent" ones to prepare HIs People for the close of the Church Age.


One doesn't have to search hard to find claims of Holy Spirit manifestations of healings, words of revelation, supernatural mir...

Quick Fix or Complete Overhaul!

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Thursday, April 2, 2009, In : Encouragement 

I believe that these words might be a little controversial, it will spark within you either support or strong disagreement.  I don't believe that you will be able to walk away neutral on what I am going to share with you about the state of the church in North America. 

I pray that as your emotions begin to rise up and boil over, please allow the words I share be filtered through the word of God and prayer and soul reflection. I pray you will seek access to the Spirit of God to aid you in the ...

Stand Amid the Rubble!

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Thursday, April 2, 2009, In : Prophesies 

If you have ever read these blogs you know that I believe we are in the midst of difficult days.  I believe that all institutions, governments, churches, families, and ministries are being tried in the fire of refinement or they are being judged for their lack of response to God's overtures of grace.

Exposure of our heart to one another and our sincerity of communication will carry us through these difficult times.  We know that the same Lord who wooed us into the family of God is the same L...

Strike the Doorposts and the Very Foundations will be Shaken

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Wednesday, April 1, 2009, In : Prophesies 

“Strike the doorposts and the foundations will be shaken”

Do you know where this verse comes from in the Bible?  This verse is found in 

Amos 9:1:  

I saw the Lord standing by the altar, and He said: "Strike the doorposts, that the thresholds may shake, And break them on the heads of them all. I will slay the last of them with the sword. He who flees from them shall not get away, And he who escapes from them shall not be delivered.

This verse has been grabbing my heart since 2006.  I can't ...

You Are My Beloved

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Wednesday, April 1, 2009, In : Encouragement 

Listen, My Beloved,

Everywhere you look today, look for love…you will see me.

See love in the eyes of family and friends

See love in the eyes of a stranger.

Wherever you go today, know that I am there.

I am in the deepest valley and on the highest mountaintop.

I am in the darkest shadows and the brightest light.

I live within your heart as peace, strength, and hope.

Beloved, follow your heart today, and trust Me.

Trust Me for guidance in all that you do.

Follow your heart today,...

Incredible Emptiness!

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Monday, March 30, 2009, In : Encouragement 

Listening to the Relient K song "give until there is nothing left" I started to reflect on what it means to “give my life" away.  As I thought about all the things that I have given up in my service to Christ I thought quietly to myself, "is there a limit to how much we can give?"

Has anyone outside of Jesus ever given it all away?  Paul was poured out like a drink offering which ultimately led to his eventual execution.  John gave it all and it led him to be dropped into a caldron ...

Livin in the Invisible!

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Monday, March 30, 2009,

My family and I are walking the way of Abraham of old.  If you trust your history and the great men we read of in history then you will find great comfort in studying these men and their lives.  Sometimes we find more comfort in the past then we do in the present or the foreseeable future.  Abraham was blessed because when God said, "Go" he went.  His journey led to no-where-ville, he left what was familiar, a place where he knew the order of things, to a unknown invisible world of follow...

Chills, Spills, and Thrills

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Monday, March 30, 2009, In : Encouragement 

In the way of success or failure there seems to be a very pivotal moment when providence frames a path to great success or a near miss of fortune leading to a face flattening failure.  Are you seeking to fulfill a dream?  Are you battling to make your way through the hard places and on the verge of collapse?  Why do some of us find the way of success and some the rocky road of painful regret?

I do not have all the answers.  I do not know why some of you are emotionally broken and destitu...

Build the Impossible!

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Monday, March 30, 2009, In : Encouragement 

And David said to his son Solomon, "Be strong and of good courage, and do [it]; do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD God--my God--[will be] with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.

Do you believe that you are called to reach people for Christ?  Do you hurt inside for people who you know are lost and without hope?  Are you tired of watching your friends fall prey to the lies of the enemy?  Do you w...

Daniel's Prophesy for TBTS for Jesus

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Monday, March 30, 2009, In : Prophesies 

I went and locked myself in my room after I finished eating.

God told me to lay back down again, so I closed my curtains and did so.

This time wasn't a really a symbolic dream as much as the other. 

It was in downtown winston on
marshall street where that concrete slab/stage is with the concrete stairs the circulate and the creek is which is behind the presbytarian church is.

It was broad daylight, the Sun was out and there were some minor clouds. The clouds were golden and glorious look...

Destroy this temple and in 3 days I will raise it up again

Posted by Jonathan Keener on Thursday, March 26, 2009, In : Prophesies 
I believe that this is the first time I have offered to you who read our blogs, a word from God.  Today I feel constrained to do so because it was a very strong word from the Lord and the understanding of this word will impact all of our lives for years to come.

From yesterday afternoon to this morning I felt a heavenly tug on my heart from the Lord…. seeking my attention.  I wrestled a little in prayer with Him, I also sought Him by worshiping in song, and I took a couple of walks to get th...

Words


Jonathan David Keener There have been times when the Lord has interrupted my day with strong utterances from the Father thru the Spirit. These are words that flow from my heart and personal, and sometimes the Lord will have a word sent to me by another. They are timely words from the Body of Christ and encourage my heart. If we allow the Lord to move on our hearts we will hear collectively the Voice of the Spirit calling us back to the Father. By a deepening in our love of the Savior of all mankind. Shalom, Jonathan
