11th Hour - The Quickened Word

Prophetically speaking, we’ve been looking forward to the 11th hour for a few years. As the following rhema reveals, the 11th hour is power packed with last day evangelism, world-wide judgment, and God’s last day army launched to go forth to a hurting world.

[2] Dream - The 11th Hour

Note from Sandy: I tried to find a date for this dream. The best I could find was that one site posted it on 12/1998. So that means the dream took place prior to the posting. I found another site that said he had the dream one year prior to posting, although it did not say when they posted it.

Taken from the Internet - From Pastor J. Conrad Lampan

Conrad Lampan is a Pastor from Claudio Freidzon’s Church in Argentina (now living in the US)

". . . and your old men shall dream dreams and your young men shall see visions . . . " Joel 2:28 About one year ago I had a dream. The Lord was on His way entering the gates and we, all those saved by His blood, were in some place between heaven and earth waiting for the number of people to go with Him to be completed. Continually people from earth were joining us in our waiting. They were the people that were being saved at the last moment.

The "Eleventh Hour" workers were working at full strength. The earth was in darkness. From where we were I could see people like ants going back and forth as if with no idea of where they were going to.

The place where we were waiting for the Lord to appear had no light but it was not dark. We were able to see each other and to communicate with each other. It was like being in some "waiting room" in our way to heaven.

Two things impressed me at that moment. One the Fact that the Lord was already on His way to take His Church home to heaven. All who were there expected to listen a trumpet any moment. At the same time I was struck looking down to earth: I did not like what I saw: Now as I write about that dream I remember when He: ". . .SAW THE MULTITUDES, HE WAS MOVED WITH COMPASSION ON THEM, BECAUSE THEY FAINTED, AND WERE SCATTERED ABROAD, AS SHEEP HAVING NO SHEPHERD" -Matthew 9:36 That was the feeling I had when I looked down to earth from that place above.

I became concerned about those people who were still on earth probably lost forever. At the same time I did not see up there with the rest of us some people I knew well, relatives, friends and others.

In that precise moment I heard a voice saying to me "You may go down to earth and try to reach those people, but remember: YOU HAVE ONLY ONE HOUR" That was all I needed to be wide awake and with my soul in a state of travail. Never before had "the eleventh hour" meant so much to me as in that moment.

I called a friend of mine who attends church at Pastor Claudio Freidzon’s Church and told her the dream. She was so impressed that she decided to share it with the people during that afternoon service.

When she called me back later that day I could hardly believe what I heard. Just before she shared my dream with the congregation, three more people shared there own dream. The same night I had my dream those three people dreamt almost the same thing and all three were told that they have "ONLY ONE HOUR TO GO."

Then I knew that the Lord was trying to tell something to us.

Be blessed and be a blessing

[3] Quote from Bob Jones

Written by Keith Davis from the Internet

http://www.bobjones.org/

"On Aug. 7, 1998, Bob, myself and others were traveling to Mobile, Alabama for a meeting that evening. At 10 minutes before 11 a.m. the spirit of prophecy came upon Bob in a powerful way. Initially, he began to prophesy words of exhortation concerning individuals, some of which have already been fulfilled. He then began to recite "be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be dismayed for I am with you wherever you go". Immediately I recognized that he was quoting Joshua 1:9. I then recalled that I had in my Bible a copy of a commission from this same passage given to a powerfully anointed prophet of the prior generation. As we began reading the commission we noticed that the Lord gave this commission by divine visitation on August 7, 1957 at 11 a.m.

At approximately the same hour on the same date a commission was given out of Joshua 1:9.

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." (NKJ)

[4] Quote From Bobby Conner Shepherds Rod 99

[Excerpt from Internet http://www.bobbyconner.org/]

"The Little Clock with a BIG Sound

My little travel clock was sitting on the bed table when suddenly it began to tick so loudly that it sounded as if someone was striking an anvil with a hammer. I looked and the time was 11:00PM. This was strange because the actual time was only 10:30PM. The Lord said, "Oh no! It is much later than you think!" He said it is the 11th hour. This is speaking of time being very short, and that the time of the end-time judgments being upon us. The Lord said this stood for Psalm 11:1-7: "In the LORD I take refuge. How then can you say to me: "Flee like a bird to your mountain." For look, the wicked bend their bows; they set their arrows against the strings to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart. When the foundations are being destroyed, what can the righteous do? The LORD is in his holy temple; the LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes the sons of men; his eyes examine them. The LORD examines the righteous, but the wicked and those who love violence his soul hates. On the wicked he will rain fiery coals and burning sulfur; a scorching wind will be their lot. For the LORD is righteous, he loves justice; upright men will see his face." (NIV)

[5] A Prophetic Sign

John Paul Jackson is one of the original Kansas City prophets. He heads Streams of Shilo Ministries in Fort Worth Texas. The Lord told his Mother she would carry John Paul in her womb 11 months as a sign that he would be a prophet of God in the 11th hour. She delivered John in the 11th month as she was told by God.

[6] The Great Door Of Hope and The 11th Hour

11TH HOUR RHEMA

Excerpt Sandy Warner Rhema 11/3/95

Heard: Joel 2 rain. That’s God’s confirmation. You’re on this ark.

Vision: [I saw written] "We’re in this together."

Heard: Door opened. It’s the 11th hour.

Heard: What time is it? Look at your watch. Be careful. Watch where you’re going. Step carefully in sync. Together. Be one. A friend: look at your watch. IT’S TIME. Let me borrow your watch.

COMMENTS FROM SANDY: The Lord often speaks to me in short snip-its, a combination of picture visions and phrases. I speak these into a mini recorder as I am waiting upon the Lord. Often there is a supernatural bridge of understanding that is imparted which I do not record. Later when I go to type them, I realize how condensed these things are which I write that I hear and see and I have found that it does not make sense to others without my interpretation. Therefore, I want to interpret the above, but also expand upon it to puzzle it together with past rhema about the great door of hope and the 11th hour.

UNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE GREAT DOOR OF HOPE

Those who have ridden out the storms in their life have been in an ark of safety, like Noah's ark. Their preparation and training, was behind closed doors. By this time, their flood waters have receded and their door of hope will open during the 11th hour. When this great door of hope opens, some will have no idea how late the time really is, neither will they understand that their trials have actually made them forerunners for others who are following in their steps. Because of overcoming in their own trials, they will receive the authority to deliver, heal and release others who will be walking in places they once walked. Their very weakness will become their very strength in ministry. Suddenly their promises will be fulfilled and they will step forth into ministries that will reach the world. As they walk out that door, it will be a time of unified effort and will be a season of going forth, endorsed and endued with power upon high. The Lord will rain His Spirit upon all flesh, and He will be using the body of Christ to release His Spirit upon a hurting and troubled world.

At that time the world will be going through the same storms that the forerunners went through. Those who already went through their personal storms will now be released to fly above the storms. They will be kept from the world wide storms, for these storms will be under their feet. However the world must now come to the Lord and be purified through these storms. Their storms will be stronger and more severe, and more condensed into a shorter time period. As the world goes through its increasing levels of shaking and sifting, the Lord will be using His people as supernatural vessels to heal the wounded, to give hope and raise up, to encourage and to nurture those who come to the Lord during this time.

Timing wise, much of the material in the files and rhema at this site puzzle together, because of this forerunner concept. Those forerunners who have gone through "siftings" and "transition" (file themes) will be used as vessels of "rain" and "glory" (file themes) for the ones following behind them who will go through great siftings and transition.

WORDS TO PONDER MENTIONING THE GREAT DOOR OF HOPE

DOOR

Word to Ponder given to Sandy Warner in 1984

I have brought My people to a door. A door of promise, a door of destiny. Many have approached this door before, with seeds of promise, only to look at it, and see the insurmountable walls. They were given the instructions at Jericho; the time waiting was much more than the time moving. Years of waiting have passed, and the moving has been in circles. But this has not been without purpose.

I have gone before you and set up your place. Indeed, you have circled long enough. Once again, you stand before the door and look at insurmountable odds. But I say unto you, the hour is due. At My command, these walls shall fall, and every man shall enter straight before him. I go before you shouting "Grace." These walls shall fall and you shall be astonished at MY mighty hand on your behalf.

There are many who have been so sifted by the plow, and blackened by the fire, that they have lost sight of this door of promise, this great door of Hope. They have been turned inside out, and backwards; some are even upside down. But I have been turning the perspective so they may see My view. I am facing them forward, securing feet in front of the door.

Have no fear if you cannot see the door of promise. Your eyes may still be burning from the smoke. Trust Me to turn you in perfect direction. Have hopeful expectation of what I shall do. For when it opens, it shall open suddenly, and the Light from the other side will be so bright, there will be no questions as to your direction.

I give good gifts to My people. Pick up those hopes lost from yesterday, and dare to believe, this time from MY perspective. Even as the door stands before you, I stand on the other side. When I open the door, you will not walk alone. We will occupy together.

"I know thy works: behold I have set before thee an open door and no man can shut it..." (Revelation 3:8)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SONGS IN THE WILDERNESS

Word to Ponder given to Sandy Warner in 1997

Your songs are precious to Me. I hear the longings of your heart as I woo you into My arms. One by one, I watch the passions in your life drift away as you turn your heart toward Me. Step by step, My Spirit calls to you, and you leave other loves behind.

Even so, I ask you a question. You obey Me, you serve Me, but do you love Me? Your obedience pleases Me. Your service is responsible and even your sacrifice is faithful. But do you love Me? "Of course I love you!" you reply. Even still, I ask, "Do you love Me?"

Our union is not complete until you call Me Husband, instead of Master. I want to share a love that only comes through an undivided passionate heart… a heart of yearning, a heart of unquenchable longing to be satisfied. A heart that comes back for more and more and more and more, still wanting more. I want all of you. Do you want all of Me? How much do you want? How much is too much?

For Myself, I want ALL of you. Sing Me another song and let’s dance the wind together. Listen to My Spirit call you with the wooing of My heart.

"Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her. And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt. And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi <My Husband>; and shalt call me no more Baali <My Master>. For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be remembered by their name. And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies. I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD. " (Hosea 2:14-17, 19-20 KJV)

[7] Sands Of Time - Held Back No Longer

3 visions & 1 dream

Encouragement from Sandy Warner

8/25/99

Recently an intercessor friend had a vision of a huge wall of sand moving down in a funnel like shape. He said it was almost like a dam of sand beginning to move. When I heard the Word, the Lord imparted to me that it was His hour glass of time. I had remembered a previous Word about His sands of time in an hour glass and I understood that He had been holding back time, in a divine delay. Now He was holding back no longer. The impact of this Word touched me in places that I am still pondering. His time table just moved forward!

In the early 80’s the Lord gave me an intercessory assignment that He called, "Waiting for the brethren." I was so innocent back then, I had little idea of what that meant. As His Words and revelation began to puzzle together, I understood that it was an intercessory place of "waiting." Like a scribe, I recorded His Words, stood in the gap, and waited for what He had said to come to pass. There were other important aspects to the assignment, but they are not relevant to this posting. The point is that I was in a time of waiting.

In 1996 I had a dream where I traveled to the upper part of a river and saw it was being held back behind a restraining wall. The wall was bulging and leaking and damp. As I touched the wall, I could feel the power of the water surging, like a vibration. I looked down on the other side of the wall and there was a deep, deep gorge where the water was supposed to flow, but it was like a small creek. I knew it was only a matter of time when that dam would break and I felt uncomfortable being right there.

In the next scene, I was further down stream and I saw the river flowing extremely fast and powerful. The water was also quite deep and wide. The dam must have let go as the current was very strong. I saw an unusual sight on the bank above me. Many drift boats were in the water, being held back with taut ropes. The men were waiting at the oars, inside the boats, and the women were holding the lines on the bank. The current was so strong, it was all the women could do to hold onto those ropes. Their bodies were leaning far backwards against the tug of the ropes. As I looked at this strange sight, it was as though the only way to get the boats into the river was this method, as the current was too strong any other way. (I have had several years of river running experience and I have never seen the current so powerful.) Suddenly the women let go of the ropes, and jumped into the current to swim and catch the boats.

The powerful current reminded me of a friend’s vision in the early 1980's when he saw an almond branch cut off of a tree, then placed beside a river to dry out. The branch dried for a very long time, and in the vision at the same time, he literally felt all his cells become dry and weak. He felt as though he had no water left in him. Then when it was time, he was pushed into the river. The river started small, but soon became a huge torrential current that was much too strong and too fast for him to do anything but just ride through the water.

In 1997 I saw a vision where I saw water pouring over a giant dam. Then I was suddenly in the water above the dam and felt the current take me. I was floating safely with my head above water but the pull was very strong like a forceful magnet. The Lord opened my ears and I heard the roar of a huge falls like Niagara Falls. The sound and the pull of the water was extremely powerful.

I heard the Lord ask, "Can you afford it? Can you afford not to?" Then I heard Him say that it was only a matter of time and when it came, to let go and be carried along by the gravitational pull of His powerful flowing Presence.

The sands of time are moving and He is holding back no longer! We are in a time and place whereby promises of yesterday are going to quickly come to pass. The power of His Presence is a mighty force and will become so strong that to jump in will take us swiftly to radical places. The time is soon coming for courageous decisions to jump into what God is doing. He is asking us the questions whether or not we want to jump in as well as consider the consequences if we don’t! Jumping in takes courage, and may come at a cost. However, the cost will be greater for those who do not take the leap.

OVERCOMING HOPELESSNESS

For many, one of the acts of courage in taking the plunge will be to overcome hopelessness. For years, they have been held back in the collecting sands of time. In the process, they suffered losses in the pain of waiting upon God to answer prayers and fulfill His promises. I am reminded of the men who were so weary that they could not go with David into battle, so they stayed behind at the brook Besor to watch over the stuff. It is interesting that Besor in the Hebrew means cheerful and comes from a root word basar meaning "to be fresh, i.e. full (rosy, (figuratively) cheerful); to announce (glad news): -messenger, preach, publish, shew forth, (bear, bring, carry, preach, good, tell good) tidings." These people were exhausted and waited for the announcement of good news! When David came back with the spoils of the enemy, he proclaimed, "But as his part is who goes down to the battle, so shall his part be who stays by the supplies; they shall share alike." So it was, from that day forward; he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day." (1 Sam 30:24-25 NKJV) Those who stayed behind received equal pay!

The same is true in the parable of the vineyard workers who did not join the other workers until the 11th hour. (Matthew 20) They received the same pay as those who had born the heat of the day. What is even more encouraging is that when payday came, Jesus said, "So when evening had come, the owner of the vineyard said to his steward, Call the laborers and give them their wages, beginning with the last to the first." (Matt 20:8 NKJV) Those who were sitting along the sides because no one hired them, not only were put to use, but were the first to be paid - equal wages.

Our God is a just God. He knows the pain of years of waiting, the suffering in being placed on the shelf, the agony of holding on for any morsel of good news - He sees the hearts who have faithfully trusted in Him, no matter what the odds and He understands that the wages for this kind of suffering is worthy of equal pay with those who have been in a different kind of battle.

I share this Word for all; those who are already in the river, and those who are still waiting for the river to come. Prepare your hearts, for the day is fast coming when His rush of water will reach you, and you will need to make the decision of a lifetime whether to "go for it" - no matter what the cost.

If you are one who dried - then died, waiting by the river, then perhaps the following Word to Ponder will encourage you. My heart and prayers are with all who have borne the battle of waiting, as well as all who have worked in the heat of the day.

Lovingly,

Sandy

DELAY

[Taken from Words to Ponder, volume 1 by Sandy Warner]

You have suffered the pain of delay. You have wept and I have wept. I cried at Lazarus’ tomb. I cry at yours. Like Mary and Martha, you turned to Me - your only trust, your only hope, your only God. I wasn’t just your God Who delivers, you trusted Me as your Friend. Is it any wonder I cry at your tomb?

I have suffered every ache in your heart as you have died the slow death of disappointment. I have grieved over the death of My Beloved.

I was so proud of you. You, who knew no thought of war, of evil confrontation. I taught you to stand, and you stood valiantly. My Beloved, My courageous one. You believed Me. You trusted Me explicitly. You followed Me wholeheartedly through the battlefield. I was so proud of you. How can I reach you, when you lie in the tomb of disappointment? I weep for you.

I will defend My Beloved. The enemy has no victory. I allowed the delay. Did I not say if you would believe, you would see the glory of God? Is anything too hard for your God? Would you trust Me to be your Friend, though you lie in the coldness of the tomb? Listen for My voice. I will call and there shall be a mighty resurrection.

All that was taken shall be restored unto you. There will be nothing lost. And you shall live to see the glory of God. You will not only see My glory, you will live in it. Weep no more My Beloved. For soon I am coming with vengeance upon the enemy tactics. You shall enjoy the spoils of war. Your reward is coming.

Think not that I am a God of disappointment. I am coming with healing in My wings. When My voice calls, I will raise you up.

"Come, and let us return unto the LORD: for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth." (Hosea 6:1 KJV)

PART TWO: WORLD WIDE STORMS

[8] Preparation for the coming storms

Excerpt Article by Sandy Warner 1/7/99

Mindset Preparation

If one understands the birthing process, we are in the transition stage of labor pains. This is when the pains come closer together, and are more severe. God is birthing a new thing, a holy generation, separated unto Him and then sent to a desperate world. The world is going to shake and quake, just like a mother giving birth. This is a time when we need to press into our personal relationship with the Lord, join with people who are like minded, make practical preparations for hard times and then stand and believe God will multiply what we do not have and protect us like Goshen during the Egyptian plagues.

Food Preparation

I would feel amiss if I did not pass on the knowledge the Lord has given me about food needs. We are living in the times of the story of Joseph when he understood there would be 7 good years and 7 bad years and they needed to prepare for the bad ones. Some time in our future, I don’t know when, there will be 7 years of world wide famine and it will become so bad, that Pharaoh will collect the world’s grain in order to distribute it. The distribution of such is at the cost of captivity, to the point that people will sell their souls for a pot of beans. (Gen 47:19, Rev 13:17, Rev 14:9&10, Heb 12:16,17) With this knowledge, I have chosen to throw myself and our preparations into a spiritual ark, with limited practical supplies, but expecting God to multiply what we have for ourselves and others.

Every geographical location has a different set of needs, including each and every family’s needs. If in the end the Lord chooses not to multiply our limited & practical supply, then He has purposes for us to change geographical locations in His perfect timing. If you remember in the story of Joseph, his family did not move and change locations until 2 years into the famine. I place that sentence here, for those who are concerned they may be in the wrong location. If God has not told you to move, then wait for His direction. He will not leave us without specific and personal guidance during a time when we need Him so desperately.

Location Preparation

The Lord is going to provide "Goshen" refuges like when God separated the Israelites from some of the plagues. (Ex 8:22, Ex 9:26) These refuges may be entire cities, little neighborhoods, or single families under divine protection. I had heard the Lord tell me Goshen when I was praying about this. Later as I was seeking His input as to what He meant, He brought several Words through the established prophets like Bob Jones and Rick Joyner. The one that blessed me the most was the story of Rick buying property on an island and later that island suffered 2 hurricanes. Both times the Lord supernaturally protected the island. The first time, the Lord redirected its path to go around the island before resuming its original course. The second time, the island was protected even in the direct path of the hurricane.

Rick shared that God told him it was a promise for the storms to come. But what I saw that Rick didn’t bring out: the entire island, for Rick’s property’s sake, was protected. (Rick was not on the island.) Think about the people who lived there and were not spiritually prepared - they were delivered too. (Job 22:30) What I received from this living parable is if I wasn’t prepared, and I was concerned and didn’t have my own guidance as to geographical location, I would find those people who have the spiritual promise of "Goshen" and live near them.

Spiritual Preparation

Finding a Personal Goshen - Separated from, but living in Egypt

Jesus said, "I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. (NKJV John 17:15) The Lord made it clear in Moses’ story of opposing Pharaoh, that He wanted to separate His people. "And in that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, in which My people dwell, that no swarms of flies shall be there, in order that you may know that I am the LORD in the midst of the land. "I will make a difference between My people and your people. Tomorrow this sign shall be." (Ex 8:22-23 KJ)

"And the hail smote throughout all the land of Egypt all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail smote every herb of the field, and brake every tree of the field. Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, was there no hail." (Exo 9:25-26 KJ)

"Then the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, darkness which may even be felt." So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days. They did not see one another; nor did anyone rise from his place for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings." (NKJV Exodus 10:21-23)

In the midst of hail, Pharaoh called for Moses. Moses said as soon as he had gone out of the city the hail would cease. MOSES WALKED THROUGH THE HAIL UNHARMED. (Ex 9:27-29)

For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD. (I King 8:53 KJ)

Therefore "Come out from among them And be separate, says the Lord. Do not touch what is unclean, And I will receive you." "I will be a Father to you, And you shall be My sons and daughters, Says the LORD Almighty." (NKJV 2 Cor 6:17)

There are many scriptures speaking of separation. Without getting into a whole new article on law verses grace, for myself, I came to the conclusion the only ark I could prepare that would dwell safely in "Goshen" is to separate myself from carnal entertainment. I read someone’s revelation a while back that said the word "tain" in entertainment meant to hinder or restrain. The Lord gave the revelation to the person that entertainment was hindering people from entering into God’s Presence. This is exactly what I had found to be the case. It was only after craving Him and setting aside carnality that He had brought me into the personal promise of "Goshen". I pass this on not to preach, but for those hungry hearts who are desperately wanting to find "Goshen" - a safe place within the secret place of the most High. (Psalm 91)

"Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously?" (NKJV James 4:4,5)

Prayer Preparation

Recently I read an article called "The Pride Virus" on grievous prophetic "Words" that are on the Internet. The article talked about the prophets apparent boastfulness and pride in prophesying coming judgments.

Like the author, I too have spent countless hours reading the prophetic on the Internet sites and came to the same conclusion... a deeply grieved spirit. In addition to witnessing the prophetic pride emanating from such "Words" I have also deeply grieved over the anger behind so many "Words." I have received dreams from the Lord about these things and His heart is that mercy still triumphs over judgment. And even within judgment, it does not mean that He is angry with us. He can weep when He spanks. I believe that many prophesies are falsely representing His emotions.

What the prophetic people do not understand is that they have authority in their vote. And every time they speak anger and judgment they are casting their vote for such to occur. On the contrary, those who are prophetic intercessors are standing in the gap, asking for forgiveness and weeping for the sins of a blind nation. They are still begging that even in chastening, God will have mercy and release us from our blind eyes and help us come to a quick repentance.

Financial Preparation

This year (98) I saw a vision of the digital readout on the big screen at the New York Stock Exchange. It was scrolling across with various numbers. As I gazed, it turned into ticker tape scrolling across the screen. As I watched the ticker tape scroll, suddenly the ticker tape ran out. No more tape. It totally stopped. We all know the market is ready for a plunge, but I didn’t see a plunge, I saw it stop.

In the 1970’s the Lord told us to get out of debt and to stay there. We sacrificed a lot to do so but we obeyed. If there was ever a time to make sacrifices and get out of debt, it is now.

There is a "fun" article that covers my personal testimony on overcoming anxiety about the future in another file. Preparation by overcoming anxiety is an important spiritual issue. The article is #14, "Shake Rattle & Roll With the Punches." To read it now, you may click here. CLICK.

[9] Word To Ponder

From the book Words to Ponder II by Sandy Warner

OVERCOMING THE GREAT STORM OF EVIL

Pharaoh would not let the people of God go without a fight. And the children of Israel suffered because of it. Understand that in the greatest historical hour of My glory, there shall also be the greatest historical hour of evil destruction. Resistance in every way shall surround the people of God. This will be a time of severe testing.

This great dark storm advances only as My glory advances. When I pour My glory, this causes a violent reaction in the spirituals. Like the pains of childbirth, the advancing occurs in measured lots, not in a continuous fashion, but rather in stages with periods of rest. As the climax nears, the stages come closer together, until at last they are continuous without tapering. I shall help and encourage you all the way, but know where there is greatest darkness, My glory is also the greatest. I will back My Words with My great acts and you shall be greatly encouraged.

Even when you see mass chaos, destruction, great sufferings, tragedy and pain, know that I AM God. Much will be accomplished that could not be accomplished without the storm. First, I want you to come into your possession. This is not possible through warfare or My gifts, but only possible by going through the storm. In you, I want My perfect will. You shall be perfected, and in you shall be the image of My dear Son. This is not an instant occurrence, but a lengthy process in and through the storm.

Second, there are blessings to be obtained that cannot be obtained without pressures generated by the storm. I have things in store for you, but this is not available without going through the pressures. These pressures will bring about an internal fighting that cannot remain stoic and indifferent. They will call for inner resolution until you are carried forward into the blessing I have prepared. Greater blessings and grace are in storage, but not until each pressure has been completely fulfilled.

Third, in the violent collision of two opposites, there will come a polarization of good unto good, and evil unto evil. This will ultimately cause a separation of the two. I separate and purify that which is Mine from that which is not. This principal works among men and also in the spirit. Evil spirits will seek out the spirits of men who have like tendencies. They will capture and contaminate them, uniting together for a greater power. Mankind cannot live without attachment to a spiritual force. Ultimately he will either be attached to Me or to the evil one. He cannot have both, he must choose one. This is a time where eternal choices will be made with obvious clarity. This is a time of powerful cleansing. I will have a pure and spotless people, separated unto Me alone.

Fourth, this is the final hour in which My people shall overcome the evil one. I will give new revelation and understanding so that they may have clarity of vision to know what they are fighting against. That which is hidden shall become manifest. The victory through overcoming, is definite, but there is a price to pay. The victory is not won without the battle.

During this time I need your whole cooperation in thoughts, intents, attitudes, feelings and actions. Each and every part of yourself counts in overcoming the evil one. It is not a time to look upon yourself, but to Me. Keep your eyes on Me, please Me and you shall destroy the dark forces that surround you.

Lastly, My remnant shall gather together that which remains upon the earth. United, they shall rebuild and restore all things under My government and rule. They shall reign and bring all things together in Me.

"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death." (Rev 2:11)

[10] Sealed With a Shield

Words to Ponder Volume II, by Sandy Warner

This is the time to earnestly seek Me, for I want to place you safely within My covering. If you are willing, I will seal you with a clear shield. Sealed, so that the enemy cannot penetrate vulnerable places. Clear, because it is invisible and only seen through the eyes of faith.

The enemy will try to burn your life with trials and afflictions. The enemy will press your life with onslaughts. Yet the very attempts of heating and pressing becomes the enemy’s downfall. For like the process of lamination, I surround My own with a clear film of protection. Through the heating process, My own become bonded and glued with My protection and they are forever preserved. All attempts of the enemy become thwarted as he tries to reach through the shield. Once sealed, they dwell secure in a place of unwavering faith. They may observe the enemy’s schemes, but knowingly, My own stay safe within the confines of a nurtured place.

Ask Me for this special unwavering faith. Come within My covering and I will give you abiding rest.

“Who hath also sealed us, and given the earnest of the Spirit in our hearts.” (2 Corinthians 1:22)

[11] Supernatural Protection & Provision

Dream from Willie Jefferson (April 1996) Taken from the Internet

I had a dream that I was in my parent’s house with other members of the family during a severe thunderstorm. The storm’s intensity grew, and the rains, wind and lightning was severe. Suddenly a large tornado appeared, and tore up everything in it’s path. The house was violently shaken, and we all dived for cover. We covered ourselves with anything soft which came to hand. Just as quickly as the tornado came, it went and the storm with it. As we came out from hiding I noticed that nothing was broken in the house. Since the sun was out and the storm had suddenly finished we decided to look around.

Outside, the path of the tornado was obvious. Every house in it’s path was destroyed, nothing remained of them. Strangely, our house was in the middle of the path, but remained intact- and it was the only one! There was no damage to our entire property. I was awed by the savagery of the storm, and God’s providence and protection.

1 Dream & 2 Visions of Supernatural Provision

Taken from the Internet by Bryan Hupperts June 20, 1997.

Dream: "I had a vivid dream where I was somewhere in the northern United States or Canada running through a snow covered field. I was in unfamiliar farmland and was running in a jacket but had no shoes or socks on. My feet were blue, numb, and bleeding. I was being hunted for some kind of political crime and was running for my life. In the dream, I staggered into a farmhouse with no electricity and was taken in by an elderly couple. They nursed me back to health.

When leaving the farmhouse (wearing borrowed socks and shoes) I told the farmer that the Lord was going to regard his sacrifice and risk for helping me. I went outside and raised my hands to heaven and began worshipping the Lord. A flock of Canadian geese were flying overhead and they swooped down and flew in a circle around my head perhaps 12 to 15 feet off the ground. The farmer kept shooting at them until the ground was covered with goose flesh. God rewarded his faithfulness. And I turned and began to run again. Then I woke up.

Vision: In my first vision I saw a young mother standing in the snow with a young baby. She was famished and crying out to God for food. Though it was snowing, she was praying for a miracle. She was standing next to an apple tree in hibernation which suddenly began to blossom and grow apples. It took perhaps 15 minutes and she ate and fed her baby. Then she worshipped the Lord.

Vision: In the second vision I saw a farmer in winter with only a little seed telling his neighbors that God had told him to sow and he would reap a harvest. They all looked hungry. His neighbors mocked him and all walked home. The farmer sowed his seed and threw himself on the ground and prayed through the night. He fell asleep and when he awoke, the field of grain had grown to maturity overnight. He called for his shocked neighbors and told them to help themselves and he stood joyfully proclaiming Jesus to them. Many came to faith!

There are dark and terrible days ahead as God continues to humble our nation. He is working to bring us to a place of godly sorrow to work real repentance in us. In spite of whatever happens, God knows how to care for those who are His and for those who will believe Him. He is still in the business of multiplying loaves and fish. We serve a mighty, wonderful Savior!

Miracle Provision

Almost Nothing To Eat in Cuba - Story taken from the Internet

(This was forwarded to me. Sorry, I do not have the original address)

"It was the last week of the month. As I was getting ready to prepare our Sabbath meal, I stood in front of my pantry, looking at the empty shelves. What can I do? I thought. The small ration that the Communist government of Cuba allowed per family per month was gone. Only two cups of rice and a small bit of oil and part of a loaf of bread were left. From my summer garden I had a green plantain (a banana that you cook), two tomatoes, and a small head of lettuce. That was all the food I had to feed my family for Friday night, Sabbath and Sunday. Because the first day of the next month was on Monday, I could not go to the store to buy more food until then. For my little family of three - my husband, Hugo, our daughter, Lena, and me - there was not enough food. We usually had visitors come to our home for Sabbath dinner, "But not this Sabbath!" I thought.

I put the rice to cook in a little pot. With one of the tomatoes I made a little salsa and cooked six small "meatballs" made out of the single plantain. There it was - all of our food for two days! When Hugo arrived home that afternoon, I explained our food situation to him.

"Please don’t invite anyone home for dinner tomorrow," I asked. He understood. When I heard our doorbell ring a little later and went to see who was at the door, I heard the voice of a young man who had come from a distant city. We knew he was interested in one of the young ladies in our church, so we had told him that whenever he wanted to visit our church, he was welcome to stay in our home. But why today? I thought. The fact was, though, that he was there; and I knew that we would have to share what little food we had with him.

While the young man took a shower, I quickly prepared a glass of water with sugar and a slice of bread for each member of my family. That was our supper. When our visitor came out of the bathroom, I served him a little rice, two of the plantain balls, and one leaf of lettuce made into a salad. "We have already had our supper because we have to go to the church for the AY meeting." I explained to him. When we arrived at the church that evening, I learned that the girl our friend had come to visit was out of town. "Oh no!" I thought, "Now we will have to feed him lunch tomorrow!"

My husband gave me the solution the next morning. "Let’s tell him that we are fasting today so you can then give the food to him and Lena." I agreed.

While sitting in church that Sabbath morning, I noticed a man from a neighboring church attending with his young son. He had to bring his older son to a nearby hospital and had decided to stay at our church for the church service. My thought was, "Two more for lunch today!"

Later in the morning Hugo whispered to me, "There is a couple visiting from Havana. When I was in the Seminary, I was assigned to the church where they are members. Many times they had me to their house for Sabbath dinner. We have to take them home."

My immediate reaction was desperation, but in a flash, Bible stories passed through my mind: the manna in the wilderness, the oil and flour of the widow, the little boy’s lunch that the Lord used to feed thousands. "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today, and forever" (Hebrews 13:8), I remembered. Trusting only the Lord, my Provider, I answered my husband with a confident, "Sure, invite them home. The Lord will provide."

When we arrived home after church, the visiting lady graciously offered her help in the kitchen. "You’re on vacation," I said. "It’s time for you to rest. I will take care of everything in no time!"

Going into my kitchen, I knelt in front of the stove on which sat those two little pots with almost no food in them. I told my Lord and Provider, "Lord, here are my fishes and my loaves. It is all I have, and You have asked me to feed these people as You asked your disciples to do that day long ago. I give you what I have. You do the rest."

While the rice and the plantain balls were warming on the stove, I took the small head of lettuce and the tomato which I had saved for the salad. Walking over to my china cabinet, I reached in to take out a small salad bowl, but it was as if the Lord was talking to me. "Where is your faith? Haven’t you asked Me to multiply your food? You need a larger bowl - enough for all the people and some left over." "Forgive me, Lord," I said, taking out the largest salad bowl I had. As I took off leaves of lettuce, washed them, and cut them into my salad bowl, I did not see the leaves multiplying, but it seemed that the head of lettuce was always the same size, and more and more leaves were coming off it. When I finally got to the last leaf, the bowl was completely full. Then I began to cut the tomato, and it remained the same size until I had enough to combine with the lettuce into a nice tossed salad.

The same thing happened with the small piece of bread! Always I was able to cut another slice until I had filled a basket. By now my faith was very strong, so I took out a big serving dish for the rice. I had to laugh when I saw that big dish beside the small pot, but I knew what the Lord was doing. I began scooping the rice into the serving dish, and always, the same amount was left in the pot until the dish was completely full. And there was still the same amount of rice left in the pot!

"Lord," I said, "You are providing not only for these people today, but You are providing also for us tomorrow, aren’t you?" I could imagine a smile on His lovely face while He was nodding to me. Then came the plantain balls. When I turned on the stove to warm the food, I saw that there were only four plantain balls left. Now, I had a big bowl in my hand, and I smiled, in spite of myself. When I took the pot lid off, the pot was full of plantain balls! I filled the big bowl full, and there were still enough balls left in the pot for the next day!

When I was ready, I went into the living room. To my husband, I said, "Honey, I know you were planning to fast today, but since we have these beloved brethren with us, why don’t you join us for dinner? You can fast at any other time, if you want." Hugo looked at me as if to say, "Are you out of your mind?"

As our visitors went into the bathroom to wash their hands, I led my husband to the dining room table. He could not believe his eyes, and two big tears rolled down his cheeks while he whispered, "Thank you, Lord!"

That Sabbath dinner was the best dinner of our lives. Though a very simple meal, it was provided directly by the Lord. Yes, my friends, "My God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19). The only limit to what God can do is my lack of faith because He is the same yesterday, and today, and forever."

[12] An Ark in Winter

From the book Words to Ponder II (1998) by Sandy Warner

AN ARK IN WINTER

Even in the midst of cold circumstances, I promise to protect you. Like Noah, be diligent and prepare an ark. Keep a record of My Words, and use them to build a safe place. For My Words are a strong refuge from any storm. My Words will grasp you safely in an environment of faith. In spite of the howling winds and rain, you will be nestled warm inside the comfort of My Words.

If you are faithful to build this ark, I will use you to provide shelter for your loved ones. They will be fed and cared for during the winter season. When the winter is over, the rainbow of My promises will shine brightly. You will look back upon the ark of My Words, and know that I have been faithful to keep them safely through to fulfillment.

"By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house…" (Hebrews 11:7)

[13] Divine Protection in a Promised Ark

From the book Words to Ponder II by Sandy Warner

A PROMISED ARK

A Word to the Intercessors

It was My plan that sent you ahead of your family to the hill of the Lord. Higher and higher you have climbed, each step seemingly in slow motion. In the process, unknown to you, I have sent you ahead to prepare an ark for winter. In the days ahead, you will be given My divine provisions. All that sail with you shall be saved. You, and your children, "They shall be Mine," says the LORD of hosts, on the day that I make them My jewels. And I will spare them as a man spares his own son who serves him." You and your household shall be saved. At that time they shall again discern between the righteous and the wicked, between one who serves God and one who does not serve Him.

I send you to unite with kindred hearts, those brave and gallant ones like knights of the round table — servants of sacrifice, bearing arms to serve their King. Like you, they have learned the secret of being carried by the winds of My Spirit. Search for them. They are yielded, flexible to My will, yet with strong and straight arms they send their arrows to the targets. They are consistent in their timely service to their King. Knights in My Kingdom, they are people of vision and power, anchored to My Word, energized by speaking My Words.

In the days to come, those of fearful hearts shall find comfort in your Words. For you - My special chosen ones will dwell safely in the ark you have prepared and under your wings shall those of fearful hearts be safe from the coming storm.

[14] Vision - A House of Refuge

from Ching Co ching@cebumail.com

I saw an great vast of people and all of them are on their knees with head bowed. Some of them have their heads bowed down to the ground...the scene was frozen like a picture and there was no movement.. Then it was followed by a spotlight from heaven shining on those people that are on their knees. It was like a spotlight from a stage play where everything is frozen and nobody is moving. But the light was moving and each person that is hit by the light, with that I will see a house...so bright and so shining that your eyes squint by looking at that.. Then I saw people walking towards these shining houses...people from many nations as their faces are reflective of different nationalities. It was like a slow motion picture and they were all walking slowly towards the lighted house. I saw a name in these houses and it was marked "House of refuge"..

The light that was shining upon the house began to become more bright and brighter as I am looking at it until I feel like I can no longer look directly at the house without hurting my eyes. THE INTERPRETATION OF THE VISION: The Lord impress in my heart that the kneeling people represent the people of God who are lifting up prayers to Him and there is a great number of them.. The meaning of the FROZEN picture is symbolic of FINISHED WORK OF INTERCESSION. It seems that the past years, the people of God, a great number of them, specially those that hunger and thirst for righteousness have been through great battle in all area , very great and intense for I saw a woman in labor pain, and many of these people have been faithfully crying out to God.

The light represent the angels that God has send out to His people and in the days ahead. God will sealed not only individual people but there are instances when WHOLE FAMILIES are being called and sealed by the Lord for His special work.

The house of refuge represent saints whose WHOLE FAMILY HAS BEEN SEALED BY THE LORD'S ANGELS FOR WORK OF GREAT NATURE. And their whole family will in the future become like "House of refuge" in a sense that the work of the Lord in these families will be very evident and people around them will know that the Lord alone has done great and mighty works in their lives. And these families will be sealed with a special anointing and favor by the Lord and will be set apart in the communities where they are living and great light will be upon them and great change will come upon the lives of everyone in that family from the oldest to the youngest and the IMPACT that they will have in that area or community where they live will be so great and so powerful and so evident and cannot be denied.

THE WORDS:

" My people, as in the days of old..I am calling my people back to Me! I Am bringing in those chained in darkness into My marvelous light. And I will use you to be My Light to them. There are multitudes of them waiting in the dungeon of sins and despair.

" And I have given the order for them to be release. The prisons doors are about to be opened. And soon they will come in droves as in the days of old when I brought my people out of Egypt. But this time, they will enter into their inheritance, this time they will come into My rest.

" My people, I've accepted with open arms all the incense of prayers that you have lifted up to me. They come to me in various forms, some by your suffering, some by your tears, some by your moans, many by your faithful obedience...and all these are pleasing aroma unto Me..None of them have fallen to the ground but all of them have been planted by Me in fertile soil and they are taking root and bearing much fruits that will last forever.

" My people, do not be afraid of the great onlaughts that is coming upon you and your love ones. It will be for a short time only. For I have you covered by My great Hand. No weapon forged against you will prosper. The stronger the attack, the nearer the victory. The more the attack, the bigger the reward and brighter will be the Light shining..

" As in the days of Joseph, so you will shine and your whole family will be sealed and will be set apart. And people around you will see, and people surrounding you will be amazed and they will know that My favor is upon you , and they will understand that the great day of salvation draws near and My faithfullness will be revealed from heaven and My righteousness and My justice will be seen in your lives.

" As in the days of old, great will be the power that will be unleased upon your lives. And when they see the work that I will do in your lives and your loved ones, you yourselves will be amazed and you will stand in awe and you will acknowledge that I Am one that loves you and I honor those that are obedient to Me unto death and those that harken unto My voice..

" The season for shining forth is near..The season for My people to arise and shine is here..So rejoice My people. Rejoice My faithful servants. Rejoice My loved ones.. For I am preparing..For I Am on the Way..And a great day is coming..A great and mighty days like never seen before.. People of God, servants of the Most High God, please test everything for me. If anybody have received similar words or vision, I will surely appreciate your confirmations.

GOD BLESS HIS PEOPLE!

[15] Surgery In The Storm

Word to Ponder given to Sandy Warner 4/14/00

SURGERY IN THE STORM

One by one you come out of rough waters. Clean, washed clean from the waves. And the troubled waters became still. It was My work. I sent the storm to serve My purpose and you knew it not. But now you see, for within its midst you cried out to Me and finally yielded. You said, "Not my will, but Thine be done." And I heard. And I drew you out.

Now after the surgery of yielding your carnal ways, what now? Under the stormy waters I built a fine foundation. An apostolic one, a holy one, prepared and ready for service. This mantle, and the authority that comes with it is yet hidden. I AM keeping it for the 11th hour. In the mean time, We will circle and gather more who are yet striving with Me in the rough waters. They cling to their lives as though it will save them. I give them additional time to come out.

"Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked." (Deuteronomy 10:16 KJV)

PART THREE: WARRIOR KNIGHTS EMERGE

[16] Understanding the Knight Rhema

By Sandy Warner

The Lord speaks in parables to help us understand His Words. He uses anything and everything to do this. In history, there was a culture where knight’s once protected the land. This was literal history. In the following rhema about knights, He is using the name knight as a symbol, a parable, a reference point so that we can understand by way of past cultures and apply His Words to a world that desperately needs dread champions — who like David, were willing to face Goliath. These are those who are willing to lay down their life, knowing the real risks and yet boldly face their enemy without flinching.

The posting of this rhema is not meant to be applied literally, or to suggest that people become literal knights, carry literal swords, or resurrect old cultures. It is also important to know that at the time this rhema was received, due to the sheltered position of the scribes (myself, Grandma Anna, and Shirley) we had not heard the term knights from any other person or ministry. These were Words from the throne room of the Lord, speaking about His last day heroes of faith.

UPDATE COMMENT: It is my understanding that the knights are those called by God who have overcome great obstacles in order to keep a safe watch over the people of God. He calls them heroes for having laid thier lives down for their brethren. They will be the first fruits of those to experience the fulfillment of the feast of Tabernacles. Like all the feasts, this feast will have both a literal and spiritual fulfillment. The tabernacle in the OT was the moving tent that carried the ark of God. There is coming a day when the Lord will pour His Presence in these heroes and they shall be the ones to do the greater works that Jesus spoke of. They shall be filled with the 7 spirits of God and have His Spirit without measure in the same way that Jesus had on earth. (Isa 11:2)

[17] Knight Rhema

THE KNIGHTS TO BE REVEALED IN THE 11TH HOUR

Sandy Warner Rhema 12/29/95

HEARD: There is a man coming at 11:00.

VISION: Then I saw a figure dressed like a knight camping as a watchman by a fire. The picture broadened and I saw a multitude of one-man tents, each well lit with a fire and candle. These were the knight’s tents.

HEARD: That’s what makes him so powerful. Establish a king. Ruler. A hero of faith.

Sandy Comments: The Lord often speaks to me in dark, or riddled speech. I believe this is speaking of those modern day heroes of faith who have laid their lives down for their King. They keep their watch fires burning, waiting to be sent to the front lines of faith. Tents are a symbol of the Tabernacle or abode with God.

THE WARRIOR KNIGHTS ARE PROTECTED IN ARMOR

Grandma Anna Rhema 7/31/92

HEARD: My knight in shining armor.

VISION: I saw a person dressed like one.

THE CHOSEN KNIGHTS ARE PREPARING

Grandma Anna Rhema 8/31/92

HEARD: Be stilled in the iron furnace of affliction. Diamonds need heat. Hearing intensified. Sharing intensified. Run with quickened feet. Do not fear. I close the ranks. Given to those I declare. The Knights.

VISION: A battle field in a desert place in early morning. Many soldiers readying their camp. Getting dressed. Reveille just sounded. Men drinking water out of tin cups. Brushing their teeth.

A BATTLE BEING WON ON BEHALF OF THE KNIGHTS

Grandma Anna Rhema 9/1/92

HEARD: And He made them exceedingly strong. And carried them up in the chariots of the whirlwind. One by one they were picked up and brought to Me. Spoken of as near at hand.

VISION: A swing being held ready to let go.

HEARD: Battle being fought on the behalf of My knights. Over soon. Won't take long to mop up. All dirt and water. A mighty torrent is coming. Stop mourning and see into the distance. Let joy arise in your heart.

PART THE WAY FOR THE COMING KNIGHTS

Vision given to Shirley on 10/11/92

VISION: At morning prayer I saw the knights in full armor on white horses, followed by an army marching in full armor. As they went, a large crowd of people parted to let them through.

MARCHING WITH THE BANNER IS AN UPHILL JOURNEY

Vision given to Shirley on 12/19/92

VISION: I saw a chess board with the knights coming forth on their horses. The pawns were lying down. The king and queen were still in place. I saw no bishop or rooks. (This was seen while I was praying).

EXCERPT HEARD: Hunger. My Word is a lamp. Satisfies. Banner unfurled. March. Prepare. Uphill journey. Road clear.

Shirley Comment: In the game of chess the knights are powerful and can jump around obstacles, they can be hidden, and can move two spaces forward or one to the side.

THE KNIGHT'S MANTLE

Grandma Anna Rhema 3/30/97

VISION: I saw seven things written enclosed in a box which had a rainbow colored border which was highlighted having a golden glow about it. I read them all and was fascinated with what they said. One said "The Seven Spirits of God." The phrase slid off the page and turned into the satin collar I have seen worn by the knights in previous dreams.

I have seen the knights dressed in two different ways. Each time the Lord has identified them as His knights. One is with their being in full metal armor. The second has them wearing a blue and white satin cape. It has two layers with a larger white layer underneath. There is a smaller blue layer on top. The cape covers them. They appear like eagles poised ready to fly.

KNIGHTS FLEE COMPROMISE AND ARE UNVEILED WITH POWER

Grandma Anna Rhema 10/22/98

HEARD: More joy. Less stress. The knight membership. Unveiling of power, to break through. Many indignantly complaining. We want to throw off the mantle of compromise and return to the truth.

KNIGHTS RESTORE ORDER AND HOLINESS

Still small voice given to Shirley on 5/31/94

HEARD: Restorative power. Holiness.

HEARD: Snug fit.

[Question: Lord, what is a snug fit?]

HEARD: Shoes. To him who is able. A round table.

[18] Library Research

By Shirley

Pastor saw a picture of a mace and it was quickened to me to do a library study. This was interesting in context to what I heard above about the knights having restorative power. Today the mace is a club-shaped staff used as a symbol of authority. It is most often seen in legislatures where it is used chiefly to restore order. The mace used in the House of Representatives is about three feet long. It consists of ebony rods bound with a silver band. A longer ebony rod in the center of the handle has a silver globe mounted on it with a silver eagle on top.

The mace was a weapon of the Middle Ages used to break armor. A knights mace could be used with one hand. It was fairly short and almost always made of metal. It played an important part in the knights weaponry as early as the 13 century. He carried it on his saddle by his spear.

In King Arthurian legend there was a round table divided into 25 sections, a place for King Arthur and 24 knights. It is an interesting metaphor when you consider the scripture: Rev. 4:4 And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold.

(The twenty four elders are also spoken of in Rev. 4:10; 5:8, 14; 11:16 and 19:4. These scriptures all refer to them falling down and worshipping God).

[19] Words to Ponder About Knights

BUILDING AN ARK

Given to Sandy Warner 1999

In the days to come, those of troubled hearts will find comfort in your Words. For you - My special chosen ones, will dwell safely in the ark you have prepared. And others will find shelter under the covering of your wings and be safe from the coming storm.

"And they shall be mine, saith the LORD of hosts, in that day when I make up my jewels; and I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him." (Malachi 3:17)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

KNIGHTS IN WAITING

Given to Sandy Warner 8/1/96

Stay tuned for new beginnings. Good gifts of resurrection and power are coming in the 11th hour. Having just won a major victory over a storm, you stand before the great door of hope. You are testing the waters to see what has changed. Not satisfied with human trial and error, you seek Me, the King, to tell you first hand. I will tell you, but the door is too hot to touch and is yet closed. Satisfied that it won't be long, you lie down to rest before the door, keeping your eyes pasted there.

You feel old and cumbersome, but I say, "No, you grow sweeter with age. You've stood the test of time." In the mean time, your children have grown and have "No place", they say. I say, "Lie," for they have an advocate fighting on their behalf. Even now, while they wait, their place and position is already won. Only now wait for the gate to open, that great door of hope. In the waiting process, you will become strong and established. Waiting on Me, causes the stings of the enemy to flee in fear. You stand, they flee.

"After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight. Then shall we know, if we follow on to know the LORD: his going forth is prepared as the morning; and he shall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and former rain unto the earth." (Hosea 6: 2,3)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

KNIGHT OF THE ROUND TABLE

Given to Sandy Warner 9/25/95

Fear not, Knight of My Round Table. I AM bringing things swiftly to completion. I finish that which I have begun. Do not let the past length of your journey discourage you. The beacon light of My power is so close you can almost taste it. Deep calls to deep at the noise of My waterbrooks. Fear not, even though you do not understand My specific plans, I have provided a safe journey.

Listen to those silver haired eagles who have given their lives to sitting at My feet. In spite of the length of their journeys, they have learned the lesson of renewing their youthful strength. In quietness and confidence, they hunger and thirst for My Words. They have learned to be flexible, because in their youthful training of hard knocks, they sought the One Who does not change. Their future is in the constancy of My Presence. So is yours.

"Deep calleth unto deep at the noise of thy waterspouts: all thy waves and thy billows are gone over me. Yet the LORD will command his lovingkindness in the daytime, and in the night his song shall be with me, and my prayer unto the God of my life." (Psa 42:7-8)

[20] Poem, Rise Up And Fight

Still small voice given to Shirley on 12/14/98

"As in the days of old.

The knights were brave and bold.

They fought the battles royal.

And carried home the spoil.

Your cry to battle comes.

Rise up and fight.

Hail to your conquering King.

Fear not, be brave.

Your fight has just begun.

Your steed is swift and strong.

Your armor of the King."

PART FOUR: WORLD WIDE MINISTRY & RESTORATION

[21] More 11th Hour Rhema

Sandy Warner Rhema 12/31/95

Heard: The 11th hour.

Simultaneously I also literally heard the buzzer on our dryer go off. I knew this was not an accident because in earlier rhema I had seen a vision of our dryer turning over and over drying clothes. In context, the Lord revealed that after a washing, He was drying out the body of Christ, and making them thirsty for Him. When I heard the dryer button go off, I knew we were very thirsty and waiting for our "sifting" and drying process to come to an end. It would soon be time to be dressed (endued) with His power and be sent forth to evangelize the world through His signs and power.

Sandy Warner Rhema 9/11/96

As I was reading my past rhema about the 11th hour, I heard the Lord say "Evangelist!" I understood that the 11th hour is the hour of evangelism.

[22] The Last Hour - Tommy Hicks Vision of End Time Restoration

TOMMY HICKS VISION 1961 (NOTED EVANGELIST)

My message begins July 25, about 2:30 in the morning at Winnipeg, Canada. I had hardly fallen asleep when the vision and the revelation that God gave me came before me. The vision came three times, exactly in detail, the morning of July 25, 1961. I was so stirred and so moved by the revelation that this has changed my complete outlook upon the body of Christ, and upon the end-time ministries.

The greatest thing that the church of Jesus Christ has ever been given lies straight ahead. It is so hard to help men and women to realize and understand the thing that God is trying to give His people in the end times.

I received a letter several weeks ago from one of our native evangelists down in Africa, down in Nairobi. This man and his wife were on their way to Tanganyika. They could neither read nor could they write, but we had been supporting them for over two years. As they entered into the territory of Tanganyika, they came across a small village. The entire village was evacuating because of a plague that had hit the village. He came across natives that were weeping, and he asked them what was wrong.

They told him of their mother and father who had suddenly died, and they had been dead for three days. They had to leave. They were afraid to go in; they were leaving them in the cottage. He turned and asked them where they were. They pointed to the hut and he asked them to go with him, but they refused. They were afraid to go.

The native and his wife went to this little cottage and entered in where the man and woman had been dead for three days. He simply stretched forth his hand in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and spoke the man’s name and the woman’s name and said, "In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command life to come back to your bodies." Instantaneously these two heathen people who had never known Jesus Christ as their Savior sat up and immediately began to praise God. The spirit and the power of God came into the life of those people.

To us that may seem strange and a phenomenon, but that is the beginning of these end-time ministries. God is going to take the do-nothings, the nobodies, the unheard-of, the no-accounts. He is going to take every man and every woman and he is going to give to them this outpouring of the Spirit of God.

In the book of Acts we read that "In the last days," God said, "I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh." I wonder if we realized what he meant when God said, "I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh." I do not think I fully realized nor could I understand the fullness of it, and then I read from the book of Joel: "Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain -" (Joel 2:23). It is not only going to be the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, but he is going to give to his people in these last days a double portion of the power of God!

THE VISION

As the vision appeared to me after I was asleep, I suddenly found myself in a great high distance. Where I was, I do not know,. But I was looking down upon the earth.

Suddenly the whole earth came into my view. Every nation, every kindred, every tongue came before my sight from the east and the west, the north and the south. I recognized every country and many cities that I had been in, and I was almost in fear and trembling as I beheld the great sight before me: and at that moment when the world came into view, it began to lightning and thunder.

As the lightning flashed over the face of the earth, my eyes went downward and I was facing the north. Suddenly I beheld what looked like a great giant, and as I stared and looked at it, I was almost bewildered by the sight. It was so gigantic and so great. His feet seemed to reach to the north pole and his head to the south. Its arms were stretched from sea to sea. I could not even begin to understand whether this be a mountain or this be a giant, but as I watched, I suddenly beheld a great giant. I could see his head was struggling for life. He wanted to live, but his body was covered with debris from head to foot, and at times this great giant would move his body and act as though it would even raise up at times. And when it did, thousands of little creatures seemed to run away. Hideous creatures would run away from this giant, and when he would become calm, they would come back.

All of a sudden this great giant lifted his hand toward the heaven, and then it lifted its other hand, and when it did, these creatures by the thousands seemed to flee away from this giant and go into the darkness of the night.

Slowly this great giant began to rise and as he did, his head and hands went into the clouds. As he rose to his feet he seemed to have cleansed himself from the debris and filth that was upon him, and he began to raise his hand into the heavens as though praising the Lord, and as he raised his hands, they went even unto the clouds.

Suddenly every cloud became silver, the most beautiful silver I have ever known. As I watched this phenomenon it was so great I could not even begin to understand what it all meant. I was so stirred as I watched it, and I cried unto the Lord and I said, "Oh, Lord, what is the meaning of this," and I felt as if I was actually in the Spirit and I could feel the presence of the Lord even as I was asleep.

And from those clouds suddenly there came great drops of liquid light raining down upon this mighty giant, and slowly, slowly, this giant began to melt, began to sink itself in the very earth itself, and as he melted, his whole form seemed to have melted upon the face of the earth, and this great rain began to come down. Liquid drops of light began to flood the very earth itself and as I watched this giant that seemed to melt, suddenly it became millions of people over the face of the earth. As I beheld the sight before me, people stood up all over the world! They were lifting their hands and they were praising the Lord.

At that very moment there came a great thunder that seemed to roar from the heavens. I turned my eyes toward the heavens and suddenly I saw a figure in white, in glistening white - the most glorious thing that I have ever seen in my entire life. I did not see the face, but somehow I knew it was the Lord Jesus Christ, and He stretched forth His hand, and as He did, He would stretch it forth to one and to another, and another. And as He stretched forth His hand upon the nations and the people of the world men and women - as He pointed toward them, this liquid light seemed to flow from His hands into them, and a mighty anointing of God came upon them, and those people began to go forth in the name of the Lord.

I do not know how long I watched it. It seemed it went into days and weeks and months. And I beheld this Christ as He continued to stretch forth His hand; but there was a tragedy. There were many people as He stretched forth His hand that refused the anointing of God and the call of God. I saw men and women that I knew. People that I felt would certainly receive the call of God. But as He stretched forth His hand toward this one and toward that one, they simply bowed their head and began to back away. And each of those that seemed to bow down and back away, seemed to go into darkness. Blackness seemed to swallow them everywhere.

I was bewildered as I watched it, but these people that He had anointed, hundreds of thousands of people all over the world, in Africa, England, Russia, China, America, all over the world, the anointing of God was upon these people as they went forward in the name of the Lord. I saw these men and women as they went forth. They were ditch diggers, they were washerwomen, they were rich men, they were poor men. I saw people who were bound with paralysis and sickness and blindness and deafness. As the Lord stretched forth to give them this anointing, they became well, they became healed, and they went forth.

And this is the miracle of it - this is the glorious miracle of it - those people would stretch forth their hands exactly as the Lord did, and it seemed as if there was this same liquid fire in their hands. As they stretched forth their hands they said, "According to my word, be thou made whole."

As these people continued in this mighty end-time ministry, I did not fully realize what it was, and I looked to the Lord and said, "What is the meaning of this?" And He said, "This is that which I will do in the last days. I will restore all that the cankerworm , the palmerworm , the caterpillar - I will restore all that they have destroyed. These, My people, in the end times will go forth. As a mighty army shall they sweep over the face of the earth."

As I was at this great height, I could behold the whole world. I watched these people as they were going to and fro over the face of the earth. Suddenly there was a man in Africa and in a moment he was transported by the Spirit of God, and perhaps he was in Russia, or China or America or some other place, and vice versa. All over the world these people went, and they came through fire, and through pestilence, and through famine. Neither fire nor persecution, nothing seemed to stop them.

Angry mobs came to them with swords and with guns. And like Jesus, they passed through the multitudes and they could not find them, but they went forth in the name of the Lord, and everywhere they stretched forth their hands, the sick were healed, the blind eyes were opened. There was not a long prayer, and after I had reviewed the vision many time in my mind, and I thought about it many times, I realized that I never saw a church, and I never saw or heard a denomination, but these people were going in the name of the Lord of Hosts. Hallelujah!

As they marched forth in everything they did as the ministry of Christ in the end times, these people were ministering to the multitudes over the face of the earth. Tens of thousands, even millions seemed to come to the Lord Jesus Christ as these people stood forth and gave the message of the kingdom, of the coming kingdom, IN THIS LAST HOUR. (Note from Sandy, ALL CAPS my emphasis) It was so glorious, but it seemed as though there were those that rebelled, and they would become angry and they tried to attack those workers that were giving the message.

God is going to give to the world a demonstration in this LAST HOUR as the world has never known. These men and women are of all walks of life, degrees will mean nothing. I saw these workers as they were going over the face of the earth. When one would stumble and fall another would come and pick him up. There were no "big I" and "little you," but every mountain was brought low and every valley was exalted, and they seemed to have one thing in common - there was a divine love, a divine love that seemed to flow forth from these people as they worked together, and as they lived together. It was the most glorious sight that I have ever known. Jesus Christ was the theme of their life. They continued and it seemed the days went by as I stood and beheld this sight. I could only cry, and sometimes I laughed. It was so wonderful as these people went throughout the face of the whole earth, bringing forth in this last end time.

As I watched from the very heaven itself, there were times when great deluges of this liquid light seemed to fall upon great congregations, and that congregation would lift their hands and seemingly praise God for hours and even days as the Spirit of God came upon them. God said, "I will pour my Spirit upon all flesh," and that is exactly this thing. And to every man and every woman that received this power, and the anointing of God, the miracles of God, there was no ending to it.

We have talked about miracles. We have talked about signs and wonders, but I could not help but weep as I read again this morning, at 4 o'clock this morning the letter from our native workers. This is only the evidence of the beginning for one man, a "do-nothing, and unheard -of." who would go and stretch forth His hand and say, "In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command life to flow into your body." I dropped to my knees and began to pray again, and I said, "Lord, I know that this thing is coming to pass, and I believe it's coming soon!"

And then again, as these people were going about the face of the earth, a great persecution seemed to come from every angle.

Suddenly there was another great clap of thunder, that seemed to resound around the world, and I heard again the voice, the voice that seemed to speak, "Now this is my people. This is my beloved bride," and when the voice spoke, I looked upon the earth and I could see the lakes and the mountains. The graves were opened and people from all over the world, the saints of all ages seemed to be rising. And as they rose from the grave, suddenly all these people came from every direction. From the east and the west, from the north and the south, and they seemed to be forming again this gigantic body. As the dead in Christ seemed to be rising first, I could hardly comprehend it. It was so marvelous. It was so far beyond anything I could ever dream or think of.

But as this body suddenly began to form, and take shape again, it took shape again in the form of this mighty giant, but this time it was different. It was arrayed in the most beautiful gorgeous white. It's garments were without spot or wrinkle as its body began to form, and the people of all ages seemed to be gathered into this body, and slowly, slowly, as it began to form up into the very heavens, suddenly from the heavens above, the Lord Jesus came, and became the head, and I heard another clap of thunder that said, "This is my beloved bride for whom I have waited. She will come forth even tried by fire. This is she that I have loved from the beginning of time."

As I watched, my eyes suddenly turned to the far north, and I saw seemingly destruction: men and women in anguish and crying out, and buildings in destruction.

Then I heard again, the fourth voice that said, "Now is My wrath being poured out upon the face of the earth." From the ends of the whole world, the wrath of God seemed to be poured out and it seemed that there were great vials of God's wrath being poured out upon the face of the earth. I can remember it as though it happened a moment ago. I shook and trembled as I beheld the awful sight of seeing the cities, and whole nations going down into destruction.

I could hear the weeping and wailing. I could hear people crying. They seemed to cry as they went into caves, but the caves in the mountains opened up.

They leaped into water, but the water would not drown them. There was nothing that could destroy them. They were wanting to take their lives, but they could not.

Then again I turned my eyes to this glorious sight, this body arrayed in beautiful white, shining garments. Slowly, slowly, it began to lift from the earth, and as it did, I awoke. What a sight I had beheld! I had seen the end-time ministries - the last hour. Again on July 27 at 2:30 in the morning, the same revelation, the same vision came again exactly as it did before.

My life has been changed as I realized that we are living in that end time, for all over the world God is anointing men and women with this ministry. It will not be doctrine. It will not be a churchianity. It is going to be Jesus Christ. They will give forth the word of the Lord, and are going to say, I heard it so many times in the vision and according to my word it shall be done.

Oh, my people. listen to me. According to my word, it shall be done. We are going to be clothed with power and anointing from God. We won't have to preach sermons, we won't have to have persons heckle us in public. We won't have to depend on man, nor will we be denomination echoes, but we will have the power of the living God. We will fear no man, but will go in the name of the Lord of Hosts.

[23] My Temple

MY TEMPLE

Word to Ponder given to Sandy Warner prior to 1996

Behold! This is the temple I have chosen to rebuild. This is the hour My trumpet will sound a wake up call. My people will give heed and rise to decision. The chaff will be removed, the dross will be left behind. From the very first stone, all that takes place will advance My kingdom. Choices will have eternal significance and I will rebuild.

The beginning of the final hour has arrived. Satan knows his time is short, for My people will rise and take the captivated places of their lives back from him and he shall fall. With aggression, My army will advance and back his forces all the way to the pit. They will take the land I have prepared for them, and they will succeed. For this is the hour I have chosen.

I will pour a double portion of My Spirit out and you will go forth to rebuild, never to lose again. You will no longer be the tail; you will be the head, rising above shame. I have chosen you to usher in My Kingdom. I have spoken it, it shall surely come to pass.

"Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision..." (Joel 3:14)

TIMING IS EVERYTHING

[And Pay Day is Coming]

A prophetic story

Hi Loved Ones,

My birthday was one week ago and today as I was taking down birthday cards, my husband said, "Happy Birthday!" I thought that kind of strange, but when I looked at him, he was grinning. One hour later I received a belated birthday card in the mail. (How did he know?) Now this particular birthday card, ($) I had been expecting and dreaming about for a few months. When it didn’t come, I have to admit I was disappointed. In my mind I had already spent that money several times.

So today, I had just begun to write this post about how God speaks to us through clock times and numbers -- and -- my husband drops this birthday card on my desk. My heart is thumping as I open that card. The outside says, "Timing is Everything..." Before I tell you the rest of this prophetic story, please hit ‘pause’ . . . because that too is a part of this encouraging Word from the Lord . . . .

The following story is an excerpt from my book, "101+ Ways God Speaks (And How to Hear Him)." This story took place in 1994 and is about Pastor Dale Howell, of Cornerstone Church in Grants Pass, OR. Since that time, this church has been identified by Bob Jones as one of the 3 eagle’s nest to be birthing eagles in the PNW.

# 80. HE SPEAKS THROUGH NUMBERS AND CLOCKS

I have a pastor friend who had a most interesting experience with numbers. It all started the year before when he prayed, "Lord, please come and pour out Your Spirit upon us. Do anything You want, I just want to know that it is You and not some deception of the enemy." About the same time he noticed every time he looked at a digital clock the time would consistently be 11:11 (AM and PM). This continued for several weeks.

Then one morning when he was rushing to get ready for an appointment he looked at the clock - 11:11. He said, "Lord?" Immediately he had a sense it was a scripture, but determined not to look, lest he select the one that suited him. At the end of the day as he rolled into bed he glanced at the clock to see what time it was. You guessed it — 11:11. The next morning, again 11:11. "Lord, which scripture?" Finally He heard the Lord say, "Luke!" This was the verse: "If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?" (Luke 11:11) At last he understood.

The Lord was answering his prayer by saying He had given him a written guarantee that if he asked God for something he would not get a counterfeit. That night as he went to bed he again glanced at the clock - 11:11 pm. The next day he shared this with his leaders and after the meeting an elder’s wife walked into her bedroom and glanced at their clock. It was 11:11.

That Saturday he prepared a message that would end with the 11:11 message and when he went to bed that night he looked at the clock — again it said 11:11. Smiling, he went to sleep. Sunday he preached the message and glanced one time at the back wall of the church. It was 11:13 which was significant to him because the Lord had said He wanted to pour out His Holy Spirit that morning. Luke 11:13 says, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him!" That night when he went to bed the clock said 11:13! From this, he was absolutely convinced they had received the move of the Lord which was the outpouring of His Holy Spirit!

The story doesn’t end there. After I had heard about the 11:11 message, we had a fun confirmation to the above story. My son said, "Hey look!!! Our clock says 11:11!!!" I started laughing, and said, "I gotta write this down!" Knowing nothing about 11:11, he asked me, "Why? Is that another parable?" (I am always noticing allegorical parables, and he knows that.) I said, "Yes." He wasn’t satisfied with that answer and was curious. So I told him the long story about 11:11’s. When I finished he couldn’t run fast enough to look up Luke 11:11.

Shortly after that, he and I started noticing 7:11’s. It became so frequent we were both wondering what it meant, just like Pastor. We saw 7:11 in our bedrooms, on the TV, on the microwave, on his wrist, in the car, on the computer. 7:11’s were popping up everywhere. My son was reading the Bible through for the first time, and the first day he read the New Testament his eye immediately jumped to 7:11. He could hardly believe his eyes! "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!" (Matthew 7:11)

After that the Lord started using 11:11 and 7:11 to confirm things He was sharing. One in particular was that He was promising the body of Christ an entire season of 11:11’s! YES LORD! Then one night I had a dream that many people’s journals were sprinkled with 11:11 on lots of pages. When I woke up from the dream I heard the Lord say, "11:11." Immediately following, I glanced at my clock — it said 11:11.

Then an amazing thing happened. One night in the car John started counting 10, 9, 8, etc. I looked at the digital clock and it said 7:10. I realized what he was doing, so I started at 19, 18, 17. etc. After doing my countdown very methodically and in perfect rhythm, when I got to 4, I slowed and said, "fooouuurrr, thhhhrrreee..." and then it turned to 7:11. If I had not stalled out the 4 and 3 it would have been absolutely perfect on the dot! From that day on, I understood that we were in a season of "countdown" towards 11:11-7:11. And of course, the Lord confirmed that understanding with more you-know-whats.

Right before I added this 11:11 story to this section in this book, I was going through my journal to find more stories or examples I could add. When I searched, I was happy to find 26 more tid-bits. As I sat in my car at a stop light, I thanked the Lord for giving me so many and then I was reminded that part of my promise was that I was going to be a food gatherer for the body of Christ. I realized that was what I was doing, collecting stories for hungry people. I was feeling kind of silly, and somewhat jokingly I said, "OK Lord, I’m supposed to gather food, so let’s gather some!" As soon as I said "some," I glanced up through the windshield. There looming directly above me was a 7-11 grocery market sign. (He had the last Word on that one!)

Between digital clocks, car odometers, wrist watches, video camera timers, VCR’s, computers, microwaves, score boards, exercise bike timers, signs and broken calculators — for all the trouble the Lord has gone through, all I can say is THIS SEASON IS REALLY GOING TO BE GOOD!

[end of excerpt . . . and Hallelujah, end of pause!!!]

~~~~~~~~

. . . So let me tell you about that birthday card, "Timing is Everything." On the outside there is a pair of trapeze artists. She is hurling through the air and due to timing, misses her catcher. There is a file at my site called, "Transition" and in that file is an excellent story from an anonymous writer about transition being just like flying through the air on a trapeze. It is a most unstable time when you don’t know where you are going to land. So I am thinking about transition as I notice on the card that there is a net below to catch this trapeze artist in case she falls.

I think, "At least she wont splat on the ground!" as I remembered a vision the Lord gave me a couple months ago. This is an entry from my journal: 2/19/01: I went to bed very weary about every area in my life. I prayed, "Lord not one sparrow falls to the ground without You noticing." I was thinking of a sparrow taking a dive bomb and falling in a splat. I kind of grimaced at the thought and then kiddingly said, "Lord could we try that one more time?" I suddenly saw a vision of a big giant hand reaching out to catch a little tiny bird as it was falling from the sky. I saw dust being blown off the bird, then its feathers were being smoothed. The bird began to eat sunflower seeds in the giant hand, and when the seeds were gone the hand filled with water like a bird bath and I watched the bird frolic in the water. The final scene I saw the bird rub its head against this caring hand in a loving nudge. ("Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy." Jude 24 KJV)

Turning to the inside of this prophetic "Timing is Everything" card, I read, "Sorry mine was off! Happy Belated Birthday. Next time I will try to turn my calendar when March is over!"

Beloved of the Lord, God’s calendar is turning! We may think He is really late and His timing is off. We may think everything in our lives has fallen apart while we were waiting, but God says, TIMING IS EVERYTHING. He has a season for everything and we have been in a divine pause for His perfect purposes. (John 11:40)

Was there a check inside that card? OF COURSE there was a check. Am I glad it arrived one week late??? Yep. Now why would I be glad about that? Because since I had been expecting it and had spent that money in my mind several times already, I would have spent it that very day of my Birthday. But what I didn’t know was that when one is in transition, sudden events can change in a moments time. I hit a sudden event a couple of days after my BD, and the circumstances around what I wanted changed drastically. I didn’t know this, but the Lord knew. Now I am so glad I did not spend that money.

We have been in a divine delay for 11 years and PAY DAY IS COMING. What the enemy has meant for your harm, God meant for your good. What the enemy cursed, robbed and stole, the Lord will turn around for blessings, gifts and recompense. What you died to and gave to the Lord, will be multiplied over and over again. Wherever you cast your bread upon the waters, it is about to come back to you in a tidal wave. Why? Because God always repays with interest. We have been storing up a lot of promises and good gifts in our spiritual banks. And in that divine delay towards their fulfillment, we have been accruing spiritual interest on those promised good gifts. "Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life." (Prov 13:12 NKJV)

On the back of the card is a Pinwheel, and on the back of the card envelope are 2 pinwheels and some swirls as though the wind is blowing. We are now coming into a season when the Lord breathes life upon our circumstances, everything can change SUDDENLY. Yes! We are entering the days of suddenlies. "The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit." (John 3:8-9 NKJV)

I will close with a Word to Ponder the Lord gave me in the 80’s. The Words to Ponders that He gives me are prophetic, based upon visions, dreams, scriptures, and His still small voice.

Oh and by the way… today when I woke up and turned over, the clock said 7:11. :)

Lovingly,

Sandy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Suddenly

A season of "suddenlys." Long you have waited for this fulfillment. Now you are confirmed. I have promised it, I am doing it. Suddenly, all at once, what was not, is.

Have hope! Years of prayers are not lost. Why so long? Because the battle was greater than yourself. Great warfare has taken place in the heavenlies and worldwide strongholds have been broken. Your portion is coming. Give Me time to set things in order. Be prepared. Even now the prey is being divided and sent on its way.

Flood waters covered the land, but now they are receding. With each new day, new land is emerging. Inheritance free and waiting to be occupied. Yes. Go for it.

"...So the service of the house of the LORD was set in order. And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people: for the thing was done suddenly." (2 Chronicles 29:35-36)

[25] Responses From Readers To The Above 11:11 Story

NOTE FROM SANDY: When I originally wrote the above post, I wanted to add a section to it saying that the Lord had told me that it was a sign of it being the 11th hour. However due to limited space I did not. That is the reason I posted these wonderful 11:11 responses in this file, the 11th Hour. The joy of the 11th hour story in scripture is that there are a whole lot of people who have callings on their life and have been placed upon the shelf, waiting to be launched into ministry. This is the hour these wonderful, refined and prepared workers will come forth!

Matt 20:1-16 NLT
Story of the Vineyard Workers

"For the Kingdom of Heaven is like the owner of an estate who went out early one morning to hire workers for his vineyard. 2 He agreed to pay the normal daily wage and sent them out to work.
3 "At nine o'clock in the morning he was passing through the marketplace and saw some people standing around doing nothing. 4 So he hired them, telling them he would pay them whatever was right at the end of the day. 5 At noon and again around three o'clock he did the same thing. 6 At five o'clock that evening he was in town again and saw some more people standing around. He asked them, `WHY HAVEN'T YOU BEEN WORKING TODAY?' 7 "THEY REPLIED, `BECAUSE NO ONE HIRED US.'
"The owner of the estate told them, `Then go on out and join the others in my vineyard.'
8 "That evening he told the foreman to call the workers in and pay them, beginning with the last workers first. 9 When those hired at five o'clock were paid, each received a full day's wage. 10 When those hired earlier came to get their pay, they assumed they would receive more. But they, too, were paid a day's wage. 11 When they received their pay, they protested, 12`Those people worked only one hour, and yet you've paid them just as much as you paid us who worked all day in the scorching heat.'
13 "He answered one of them, `Friend, I haven't been unfair! Didn't you agree to work all day for the usual wage? 14 Take it and go. I wanted to pay this last worker the same as you. 15 Is it against the law for me to do what I want with my money? Should you be angry because I am kind?' 16 "And so it is, that many who are first now will be last then; and those who are last now will be first then."

UPDATE NOTE FROM SANDY: On 5/02/01 when I posted these stories to my website, for some reason my line connection to upgrade my site was very slow. It kept timing out on me and I was not able to put the file onto the site. I was just about ready to quit and do it another day when I decided to try one more time. It went through just fine with no problems. When the last second finished uploading my eye happened to glance at the little clock on my computer. It said 11:11. God certainly has a sense of humor! He is also really speaking to us about this hour and its significance in the time we are living.

11:11 HIGHLIGHTS THE 11TH HOUR

From: Cheryl

Did you catch that the servicemen came home from China on the 11TH day of the month on the 11th day of captivity?

Romans 11:11 "I say then, they stumbled that they should fall? Certainly not! But through their fall, to provoke them to jealousy, salvation has come to the Gentiles." NKJ

NOTE FROM SANDY: I feel this is a real prophetic sign that the captives are going to come home in this 11th hour!

From: Andrea

Dear Sandy, I also have seen 11:11 and 7:11. I felt that the Lord was telling me that it was the 11th hour and that we should get ready for His soon coming!!! Andrea

Dear Sandy,

I was relieved to finally read someone else's 11:11 stories. It's been happening to me for at least 2 years, maybe even three. It's uncanny how I can glance at anything with numbers on it, and there it is again: 11:11.

I've even gotten frustrated and yelled at God a few times, asking, Okay, so when are you going to give some revelation on this?

I got one that was pretty good.

I was searching scripture again for 11 references, asking the Lord to please show me SOMEthing. I finally started looking for anything that said "the eleventh hour" knowing it was referred to at least once. What I found was a very curious, amazing thing.

In my NIV, there is only ONE reference to the "eleventh hour." It is in Matthew 20. It is the story of the workers hired for the day in the vineyard, some hired early in the day, some later on. All were paid the same wage for a day's work and the guys who worked all day got miffed.

When they began to GRUMBLE in verse ELEVEN, the owner put them in their place, saying "Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Are you envious because I am generous?"

So I look up the word "grumble" in Strong's just to see for sure what it meant, thinking God may be after a warning for those of us living in the eleventh hour, feeling a little put out at the young upstarts who are outrunning us.

You guessed it. The definition for "grumble" in Strong's is exactly that--grumbling, murmuring, complaining, whining, etc. But what's interesting to me is this: the number assigned to the word is #1111.

I really enjoyed a forward I received on 11:11 today....This was my experience with it...and there are many more...

11:11

"The Leaven! The Leaven!"

"It's time to get out the leaven!"

Date posted: 7-24-1999

For awhile, everyone I knew kept getting 11:11. Then I did and it drove me crazy! By that I mean that I would not be thinking of looking at a clock, but at exactly 11:11, my head would turn quick and see it! If I was asleep, I'd awaken and see it on the clock! If I was doing something during the day, I'd immediately look at my watch at 11:11! It began to happen to me so much that I couldn't ignore it! When on a ministry trip in Maryland, I got out of my car just in time for a nearby church to ring the 11th hour! - When I got back in the car, there it was, 11:11 !!! ~ Truly, the Lord was saying, "It's the eleventh hour!" - But I felt there was more...

As I kept getting the 11:11 thing, I felt that the Lord impressed on me Hebrews 11:11. In that, I sensed these things:

(1) I felt that the book of Hebrews is important during this time and that through the word "Hebrews" that He is saying that the church that is arising will be the church HE BREWS and I saw a big huge pot full of hot water "brewing" on a stove. He said, "Look at this!" - and then He reached down with a huge wooden spoon and took off the dross - and HE kept "BREW-ing" it.

I heard "He BROODs over us night and day." - And I sensed that He was saying He's "brewing" and HE's BROOD-ing over us, and in the process of it all, He will scoop off the dross.

(2) When He gave me Hebrews 11:11*, I heard, "The church is My Sarah" - (it means princess) - "and she is not too old to conceive the promise to birth as many souls as there are grains of sand on the beach or stars in the sky in many nations."

*Hebrews 11:11 says: By faith even Sarah* herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised; (New American Standard Bible)

SARAH comes from the Hebrew for "princess." - The root name is SERAPHINA, which comes from the Hebrew for "afire" or "angel." - He's going to make His ministers flames of fire!

(3) Finally, one day I had an open vision of the Lord racing through a church (which I felt represented THE church as a whole) - much like I would envision that he did when He upturned the selling tables in the temple - and I heard what I believe was the Lord's voice cry out: "The leaven!" "The leaven!" - "It's time to get out the leaven!!!" - I sensed such an urgency in His cry that we must quickly get the leaven out of that which comes across the pulpit and out of our mouths and bring forth the pure, hot Word of God, as well as getting the leaven out of our personal lives & relationship with the Lord. - Leaven is a "puffing up" or a "sweetening" agent put into bread to cause it to "taste better" and to "look better" (rise). Jesus is The Bread of Life - THE Word - Reading the pure Word is the UNLEAVENED Bread of Life! - No matter how we try for it not to happen, when we get it from over the pulpit, it has a little bit of the flavor of the person speaking it - a little "leaven." - We ALL need to get the PURE WORD, the UNLEAVENED WORD for ourselves.

(4) Additionally, it was as if the Lord said through the number 11 to beware for the final apostasy (falling away from God's truth - 2 Thess. 2:3) is at hand. In it, there will be many "Judas" type of situations arise, even among our personal relationships. But take heart! After Judas came Matthias to take his place. Matthias means gift of Yahweh. (Acts 1:15-26). There are many "Matthias' " whose time is now at hand and are coming forth "for such a time as this." In this, I believe that, as many have said, it is time for the apostolic to come forth in greater measure.

NOTE FROM SANDY:

Joni was kind enough to also forward the following 2 posts that were sent to her:

Subj:More on 11:11

Date:4/13/2001 5:07:06 PM Eastern Daylight Time

From: revolutionnow@juno.com (Cindye D Cooates)

To: JoniAmes@Aol.com

Dear Joni,

I got an e-mail from Lloyd Phillips about your insight on 11:11 and I just had to make a connection and elaborate on what else I have seen in this as well.

My husband and I have seen this 11:11 for about 6 months and knew it was a message that we needed interpreted.

1>The first thing that I got was from the parable of the Workers in the Vineyard (Matt 20:1-16.) This gives kingdom insight! We must seek this first! I know this is why I got this FIRST!

The owner hired a laborer for the 11th hour and paid him the same as the ones who worked all day and even in the heat. The 11th hour is cooler and not as sweaty. Although the work load was light, The waiting to work was the difficult thing. God sees our waiting as "work" and worthy of reward. We are caught up in the actual time put into the work, but God sees the time waiting to labor just as valuable as the time actually laboring. He is sovereign and generous. The last will be first and the first will be last. The things that we are waiting to do in the kingdom are as if we are already doing them to God if we are in deed waiting to do His will, He counts the struggle as worship(work)! In Hebrew work & worship are the same.

2>This goes with what you got in Hebrews 11:11. Just when you think that your too late or the "window" of opportunity is over, you will see God open that window and pour you out a blessing! Sarah did the right thing by JUDGING GOD FAITHFUL! The leaven is judging ourselves more faithful than God. We have judged God slack and slow instead of faithful! That is how Sarah gained strength the conceive the SEED! Conception occurs in the PSUCHE (Feminine in Greek) Soul. The Womb of the soul gains strength to hold the SEED (SHEM Hebrew. for seed or semen) We can carry the SEED in the PSUCHE if we judge the PNEUMA (God the Holy Spirit) FAITHFUL not slothful!!!! GOD IS FAITHFUL who promised!!! We must carry the SEED of our FAITHFUL GOD in order to succeed! (This one will preach and I plan on preaching it soon)

3> The land in Duet. 11:11 is watered by God! We will not have to water it as a vegetable garden (vs.10 bringing water in from an outside source as in irrigation or irritation!. Itwill be ALL GOD! A 3rd Day dimension like the Holy of Holies. God will water this land Himself. It will not be like Egypt dry of God's glory, but a land flowing with milk and honey. REVELATION OF the WORD (The sincere milk of the Word and the honey of revelation) We will not have a draught of reveled proceeding Word but we will have abundance of LIFE! Our days shall be long with much light able to SEE!

We will pocess this land as God already owns it. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. We are His children and we have inherited land from our DADDY!

4< This leads to John 11:11 which speaks of resurrection! God will resurrect what has died because ANYTHING that EVER had the LIFE of GOD in it SHALL BE RAISED FROM THE DEAD! This is truly a place of transition from death to life! A bridge like Lloyd said. A PASSOVER if you will or an over pass. This warns of the fear of death. We must not loose heart when things of God die! That's the process! He is the Resurrection & the LIFE!

Leaven is malice and wickedness (twisting of truth) We must not think of God as malicious or a truth twister. He is Faithful and we must judge Him RIGHTEOUSLY! This is how we will have the promise!

Summary... My youngest son is 6. The first day of March 2001, He spoke this prophetic word... In March the winds blow the seeds. (Hebrews 11:11) In April the rain waters the seeds that the wind blew.(Deut. 11:11) In May new life comes and everything grows. (John 11:11)

I have been blessed Joni, by the gift that has been cultivated in you. I am very grateful for the time you took to write these things to bring clarity to God's people. You are a blessing. My heart is glad to have "met" you through Lloyd who has been an incredible blessing to my husband, Stan and me.

I am enclosing an article on leaven that I just had published in the Atlanta Journal as I seriously doubt you would ever read it otherwise. (scroll to the bottom to get it) You are in North Carolina. Right?

Sandy, Just read your piece on timing via ELIJAH LIST. I had an experience in year 2000 for several months - could have been longer - when every time I looked at the clock, any clock, all hours, and it would say, 11:11 or 1:11. I wouldn't mention it even to my husband as it seemed so strange & maybe it was 'just me'. I then asked some intercessor friends and their thinking was that it was the 11th hour - in time, for something?? I don't know. It has now ceased - particularly right after I miraculously survived a brain aneurysm with no deficits and don't know if there is a link there, but was a little more than interested in reading your story since it so paralleled what happened to me. Dee

From: Renee

Thank you so much for that word! I have mad myself crazy with the 11:11 thing! I decided that it was a witness (two) of the eleventh hour (End Times) but felt dissatisfied with that answer. Unfortunately, I gave up asking and decided I "knew." Also, when you said we have waited eleven years-YES! God gave me some promises way back in 1989 and 1990-I have held fast to those things He said, but as the years passed, it seemed so long. Just recently, however, some things have begun to happen, fulfilling the beginning signs of birth being imminent. Very exciting times in which to be living. Thanks again - Renee

11:11 HIGHLIGHTS HEBREWS 11:11

Date: Sat, 14 Apr 2001

From: Joanne

Dear Sandy

I had a very similar experience with 11:11 (interesting if you cap 11:11 it's !!:!! :) ). Mine was in reference to Hebrews 11:11.. He (Abraham) considered him faithful who had made the promise....we have had so many circumstances that have warred against our maintaining belief in God's faithfulness. such is the wilderness.....also for several years the Lord kept giving me 11:17 on the clock........I am no longer of this world in John 17:11.........a reversal of Kingdoms from this world to His celestial kingdom.........I am just now walking in the understanding and revelation of this other Kingdom in a way my heart and not just my mind is aligned to it.

He is so fun, isn't He..one continual spiritual scavenger hunt!!!

Blessings and Happy birthday,

Joanne

P.S. There is an alignment coming from the Spirit of God that has to do with the pinwheels on your card.....I have been seeing this in those I have prayed for with some understanding God has given me re: the whirlwind effect of His Spirit and it is bringing a sudden shift of inertia to align with His Kingdom and covenant blessings..

From: Jeanette

I just read your "11:11" story....really blessed me. Frankly, I can't remember the exact date but it was about 15 years ago when 11:11 started speaking to me. I was on a car trip to a conference and my car clock said 11:11 at the same time a signpost said 11 miles to a place I had been debating about stopping to see a friend I hadn't seen for a few years. When that happened I "knew" I was supposed to stop. I did and I found out that my dear friend, who had also been my pastor at one time, only 38 years old, hemophiliac, many transfusions...told me he had AIDS! It was a shock needless to say I hugged him and we cried together. That was in September - in October his wife called and said he was dying and thought I would like to come see him. My parents were visiting - a rare visit - but I told them I HAD to go NOW! They understood even though they had traveled half-way across the United States to see me and my family. (I live in North Carolina, they lived in Texas.)

David was in a hospital in Raleigh - 2 and a half hours from where I live. At that time hospitals didn't want to acknowledge there was such a thing as AIDS and had him in a Burn Unit!! To make a long story short we had a wonderful visit. I sat up with him all night to give his family a rest and was able to pray over and with him through this process. His wife called two days later and said that David had died. NOW, without the 11:11 I would have missed one of the most precious experiences of my life.

Some years later I was at a prophetic conference in Kansas City and the speaker asked how many had had an 11:11 experience but didn't quite know the reference. Well, I tell you, I was making a note about an unrelated subject and just about fell off my seat when he said 11:11. For me it was at that point just between the Lord and me, knowing that it was a sign to me about the timing of the Lord, but I didn't know that others had experienced the same thing!!

The speaker said that the Lord had given him Hebrews 11:11 which in a sense ties in with Luke 11:11: "By faith Abraham, even though he was past age (timing-JW) - and Sarah herself was barren - was enabled to become a father because he considered him faithful who had made the promise." Good stuff!! I cried at the faithfulness of the Lord. I had gone to that conference with the need for a real fresh drink and I hadn't been in my seat 5 minutes until 11:11 was mentioned. That whole conference had those sweet personal touches from the Lord....He's so faithful.

Thank you for allowing me to share this with you. I have never written this all down before so it continues to be encouraging to me. As a lot of believers, there are many unfulfilled personal promises in my life but I KNOW that Pay Day is coming....Praise His Holy Name... Jeanette

From: Vicki

Thanks for the good word and confirmation of the Lord speaking. He has been speaking to us for quite some time with the times on the clock!!! I have seen 11:11 many, many, many, many (muchos) times!!!! The scripture he quickened to me was Hebrews 11:11.......

Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged HIM faithful who had promised!!!!!

Timing is everything!!!! He is Faithful who has promised!!!!! Thanks again!!!! Blessings, Vicki

From: Leslie

Hi Sandy, I have been getting 11:11 too, nearly every time I look at the clock. I attend Harvest Rock Church, Here in Pasadena, CA, and one of our pastors, Pam Wright, has spoken on Hebrews 11:11 for quite a long time. Her and her husband, also one of our pastors, also they have been receiving 11:11 and 7: 11's for along season. It has been their promise that God was working out everything according to schedule for them, even when their seemed no hope. First, I must tell you that some of our intercessors have been getting that same message, and the same scriptures about Luke 7:11. But the other one, the one that God used for Pam and Rick, and now me too, is Hebrews 11:11. Abraham and Sarah's promise fulfilled. It is the fulfillment of prophetic destiny. It is that fulfillment, when everything in us says "it's impossible." Both scriptures seem to go together, don't they?

The 11 Phenomena is really something, isn't it? John Paul, by the way, says that the number 11 represents the prophetic. Bless, you Sandy, you are a jewel in the Lord's hand. Leslie

From: anonymous

Dear Sandy, What a sweet precious word from the Lord! I was so blessed to read your article for Elijah List this a.m. and when I saw the reference to 11:11, I dropped my mouth!!!!! Several years ago, I kept seeing 11:11 on every digital clock, microwave, etc., just as you have. I asked God what it was about, but, got no word for several weeks--just lots and lots of 11:11's. My husband and I were believing for a baby and praying daily in that regard (we'd had 2 miscarriages previously). One evening in the shower, the Lord spoke AUDIBLY (the one and only time that has happened) to me: "Hebrews". I jumped out and wrapped a towel around my body and raced to my bedside to get my Bible. There it was; God's promise. "By faith, Sarah herself also received strength to conceive seed, and she bore a child when she was past the age, because she judged Him faithful who had promised." I was estatic.

However, about a year and a half later, my husband left me and I dropped that "dream" from my life. The Lord has since given me Rhema word to stand for the restoration of my marriage. I have, in the past year, gotten 11:11 "messages" from God. I wondered if He still intended my husband and I to have the family we always dreamed of. This past week, the Lord had been telling me (and I'd been sensing in my spirit) that He is getting ready to do some "suddenlies" in the lives of His children. Then, this morning, I read your article. All day today, the Lord has told me to "hang on to that dream"; He is showing me and confirming to me that He, indeed, will keep His promises and my marriage will be restored and my husband and I will have the family God intended us to have. Did you ever feel you were giving birth to something in your spirit? Well, that is how I am feeling!!! I know that is my precious Heavenly Father confirming and preparing me for things to come---in His timing, of course. But, I am so very blessed He used you and your article and your experiences with 11:11 to speak to my heart!!! That made it so very personal to me and God knew how that would bless me beyond measure! He love us so much and will do things so personally to touch our hearts! It's just incredible. Thank you for writing your experiences with 11:11, "cause God used it to encourage me! We serve an awesome God!! Blessings to you!!

From: Jill

Dear Sandy, Your message was very "timely." The Lord had just spoken to me through numbers last night about a significant spiritual season in my area through the dates 4-4-97 and 4-4-01, exactly 4 years apart. I asked for and received a scripture, Isaiah 4:4 (vv. 3-5), and I asked for confirmation that this was Him speaking. I believe that your message is one of the confirmations, and that there will be one or two more. Thank you! Regarding your request for stories, I'll share the most recent one, but there are many. The Lord began causing me to notice the numbers 11-11 two years or so ago. The first scripture that He associated with the numbers was Heb 11:11, which really encouraged me for myself and for New England, because of our spiritual barrenness: "By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised."

I gradually came to receive the numbers as a prophetic promise of the restoration of all things, and of fulfillment of both personal destiny and of New England's destiny. Although I was past the age, and past every natural circumstance for the restoration of those things robbed from my life, they would indeed be restored beyond my wildest dreams, and I would be filled with joy and laughter -- just as Abraham "hoped against hope," and God fulfilled the promise of a son to him and Sarah in the 11th hour.

Well, on to the recent story of 11-11. As a group of pastors in our area were gathered this spring for prayer, we discussed plans for the celebration of a regional Passover Seder on April 11. Exodus 11 popped into my thoughts in a way in which I wondered if God was showing me something -- or was it just me in the natural knowing that Exodus describes the first Passover celebration? I looked up the chapter and read the first verse, "The Lord said to Moses, 'Yet one plague more I will bring upon Pharaoh and upon Egypt [the plague of the firstborn]; afterwards he will let you go hence; when he lets you go, he will drive you away completely."

The pastor who was speaking "accidentally" announced that our Passover Seder was scheduled for October 11, which happens to be the birthday of his firstborn son! There it was -- April 11 and October 11, 11-11. And even the "firstborn son" concept was present! I found myself speaking to the group that April 11 and October 11 were prophetically related to our area, that we were going to PASS OVER, to experience a new level of release and freedom from the spiritual forces which had kept our area bound. The season would begin on April 11 and would culminate on October 11. After my boldness to speak this (not usual), I got in my car and began praying, "O God, O God, if that was You, if that was really You, please confirm it so that I can have peace that I did not misspeak, and faith to hold on to it." As soon as had I uttered my prayer, I happened to glance at the clock on my dashboard and was amazed once again to see those precious numbers -- the time was 11:11. Blessings and love to you~ Jill

11:11 HIGHLIGHTS ISAIAH 11:11

NOTE FROM SANDY: Last year (9/2000) I heard the Lord say Isaiah 11:11. Then I found out that Bonnie Chavda had also given this scripture as a promise for Cornerstone Church in Grants Pass, Oregon. I was blessed by this confirmation, because when I heard it, I felt the Lord was also telling me that the church I attend, (a few hours north) would be restored. This is obviously a work the Lord is going to be doing now.

Isa 11:11

It shall come to pass in that day

That the LORD shall set His hand again the second time

To recover the remnant of His people who are left,

RECOVER

OT:7069

qanah (kaw-naw'); a primitive root; to erect, i.e. create; by extension, to procure, especially by purchase (causatively, sell); by implication to own:

KJV - attain, buy (-er), teach to keep cattle, get, provoke to jealousy, possess (-or), purchase, recover, redeem, X surely, X verily.

From: Doug

A few weeks back wife started getting the 11:11 thing on the clock , radio etc. We went on a trip to Cal. and stopped to see an old pastor friend of ours. We told him about the 11:11 thing. He said "O" I know what that is. He said I just talked to Bob Jones on the phone and he gave me Isaiah 11:11 for our body. (Then it will happen on that Day that the Lord will again recover the second time with His hand the remnant of His people who will remain.) Doug & Debi

From: Brenda

Hi - I was so excited to read this about 11:11. A friend of mine and myself started seeing the 11:11 thing about the same time - a couple of years ago. Everywhere I looked it was 11:11 - I would go to the store and my purchase would be $11.11. We knew it HAD to be something big but we didn't understand what it meant!

God gave Isaiah 11:11 to my friend - through that we knew that it had something to do with the inheritance but still didn't have a full grasp on it. My son who is now 12 also started seeing it. None of the clocks in my house are set to the exact same time so I would end up seeing 11:11 4 or 5 times a day! About a year ago, I started seeing 3:33 - I don't have a clue what that's all about, but I'm waiting expectantly for God to show me!! Thanks for sharing and giving more insight into this!! In His Love - Brenda May

11:11 HIGHLIGHTS THE 11TH MONTH

From: Lynda

Hi Sandy, I really enjoyed the word printed and sent from the Elijah List yesterday. And I receive it!!! You asked for us to write about the number 11. I don't know if this means anything special, other than my brain may be stuck on the 11th month. This past few weeks, every time I write a check, when I go to write the date, I strongly want to write 11 for the month. Just this week at the store, I mentioned this to the cashier. 11:11 makes sense to me. When I read your post last night, I was a bit amazed! I will ask the Lord about it. Thank you and God bless you and bring increase to you in every way! Sincerely, Lynda

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From Amy:

Sandy, I just wanted you to know that since I graduated high school in 1988, I have been looking at the clock at exactly 11:11. Every year November 11th would come around and I would end up being greatly disappointed that nothing spectacular happened. Year after year. You don't know how much this message "Timing is Everything" meant to me today, especially since I have been asking God our Father for so much, wanting Him to release me into ministry--the ministry I know He placed on my heart.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From: Emily

Hi Sandy, I just wanted to tell you that God spoke so CLEARLY to me through your word on numbers and clocks. I am also an emerging author and God speaks to me prophetically but when my husband and I began receiving 11:11 from the Lord we didn't know the interpretation. I believe he sent your word to tell me what he has been saying. Also, we believe it is a date--11/11. Not sure why or the entire meaning of that date yet..... Thanks so much for sharing. God is so good and he truly is giving good gifts to his children! Be blessed, emily

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From: Kathi

At the end of your article that was just posted on the Elijah List, you said that you have been waiting 11 years. As I read that I believe that the Lord quickened to my spirit that when it's been 11years and 11 months (11:11) you will receive what you have been waiting for...he often is said to come through in the 11th hour and for you it will be the 11th year, 11th month. He speaks to me in numbers also so that was fun to read. Kathi

From: Maureen

Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2001

Dear Sandy,

Just a couple more 11.11's for you. This morning at church a couple of things happened. First I had a prayer meeting with the group on the Ministry Team for today. I shared about the 11.11's which fitted in with a dream someone had had. We thought the two together were words God was giving for the service.

During the worship time, I noticed the worship leader glance at the clock on the pillar (to let the leaders know how over time they are running!) A few seconds later I noticed the Vicar, who was standing close to the clock, look up. This prompted me to look at my watch it was 11.11.

At the end of the service a couple in my house group came up. The lady wasn't feeling good and wanted me to pray with her. Her husband said she felt like their weekend had been taking stuff to the dump. Maybe there was something in it? I said something had come through on the Elijah list about a year ago on going to the dump. I prayed with my friend, and used the scriptures from Luke 11, although I didn't say anything to them about it.

I said if I could find the prophecy on my computer I would let them have it. I did find it, and when I went to print it I saw the date was the 11/11th Hmm. Think this may be a word for them.

I then thought the 11th of 11th sounded familiar, and realized it was the date the war ended and we supposedly won freedom.

All those who at the moment are saying Lord we want more of you and want to die to ourselves again, are being led into a new place of freedom, where God is revealing stuff that has bound us for years, yet we have been unaware of it. Suddenly we are seeing these things and being released into a new place of freedom, to see and hear God more clearly, to do His will.

These are certainly amazing times.

With love

Maureen

NOTE FROM SANDY: The First World War ended on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918. I feel this is a prophetic sign to us that we have yet to really perceive its full significance.

THE NUMBER ELEVEN

NUMBER 11

From: Bill

John Paul Jackson says 11 is the # of the prophetic. He says 11:11 is the # of the double, like Elisha. I had always had the 11:11 experience also and wondered about it. When J.P. came to Atlanta for a conference recently we left the Church parking lot to go pick him up at the airport. The other guy with me (Robey ) said, "look at the time". It was 11:11. We picked him up at the Airport, terminal 11. We went back to the church at exit 11, mile marker 11. Oh yea, he spoke on Nov. 11. That would be the eleventh month and eleventh day. It was, of course, a prophetic conference.

The conference was Nov. 9-11. That would be 911 in either direction. I was telling someone over the phone at work while looking at our building codes. My eyes fell upon the code for building under construction. It was 911. Of course after J.P. explained the 11:11 thing I started noticing it everywhere also, like you. Many times I noticed the time 11:11 when I needed encouragement or to stay focused on the importance of prophetic ministry.

One day I noticed my tag # on my truck was 311. God's # is 3. Someone called me one day and pointed out my phone # ended in 9274. 9+2=11 and 7+4=11. Then my wife and I noticed my social security # 2+5+4=11, 2+7=9, and 0+3+5+3=11. That would be 911 in either direction. I am a fireman and E.M.T. I work in the 911 business. Also, I hope I am helping in the CONSTRUCTION of healthy prophetic ministry. I got a new firefighter tag for my truck recently. The new # is 029CF. 2+9=11. The CF is for Christ Formed. I don't talk about this stuff to too many people, for obvious reasons, but I thought you might appreciate it. Oh yea, my birthday is 04-10-60. 4+1+6 = you guessed it!..... My shoe size is 11 and I have two feet ya know! Blessings, Bill

Hello Sandy, Yes!!! The Lord is constantly speaking to me through numbers. He has done this for several years--starting after I began learning about my Hebraic roots. Names and numbers in Hebrew are very significant, which is why we should pay close attention to them in the Word. God is ALWAYS speaking to us through numbers....and names.

I'll just share a couple of quick recent encounters with numbers through which God has been speaking prophetically not just to me personally but for the body of Messiah.

First of all, the number 11 has been predominant for the past few months. Eleven has positive and negative meanings. It means "destruction & disorder"; and also means "judgment--God's righteous judgment."

At first I was concerned about the negative meanings when I started seeing the number 11 popping up all the time in my life. However, the Lord showed me that in order for "new" to come forth, many times there must be a destruction or disorganization of the old. A friend also shared with me that God had shown her that we are called to create something "new" from destruction. Now, on a personal note, when I first noticed the number 11 occurring so much, there was much "chaos" going on in my life. All was being turned upside down.

Then it was later on that I learned 11 also means "judgment." By this time, I felt that God's judgment was upon my life and that He was cleaning up and out everything that wasn't Him.

My second quick story and what has been happening most recently involves double numbers--7:55pm, $10.33, 1185 SuchnSuch St, etc. They keep coming up on everything! I see them continuously on clocks, addresses, phone numbers, scriptures, purchases, odometer readings, bank account balances.....

I am in Jerusalem right now establishing a house for intercessors which will be dedicated to worship intercession, and as I was preparing for the trip, I asked the Lord how long I was to be gone. He told me to look at the last time I was in Jerusalem which was last fall. When I looked, I was in Jerusalem EXACTLY 5 weeks. He told me to do the same this trip--so I'm here for EXACTLY 5 weeks. Just before I departed from the states, I suddenly heard "55" and then a friend prophesied "double grace" which is 55 since 5 means grace.

While I've been in Jerusalem, each time I've seen double numbers, I've heard "double portion." So, I say, "Yes, Lord!" Now to finish with what God seems to be starting to do now. I've just noticed this in the past few days. The number 12 is occurring more and more. That's the number for His "divine government." Hallelujah!! Maybe that means 11 is transitioning into 12! Blessings, Riva

11:11 TESTIMONIES

From: Karen

My son and I were called to Wales 1½ years ago. Our ticket amount was 1111 and we arrived in London at 11:11. Joseph was brother number 11, and the blessings on the crown of Joseph are being released in this hour to God's people. (DEUT 33) We have also noticed the multiple elevens 22,33, ect. In Jesus Christ Karen

NOTE FROM SANDY: This particular entry is VERY prophetic in relation to the 11th hour and Joseph coming out of prison and being released into the ministry for which he was greatly prepared.

~~~~~~~~~~

From: Ed

Sandy, What a blessing to know 11:11 is not me and my imagination. For about 3 and a half years almost daily in the AM and P.M. the numbers would show up on clocks radios and clocks and even when it was 2:45 in the PM at times I would see 11:11.

Also the LORD showed me 2 Chrn. 29 a couple of years ago along with the term suddenly. It is a confirmation that this is what the LORD has on HIS mind to encourage us. Like Psalms 37........"deep calls unto deep." Also another prophet I get mail from said that the LORD showed him that this is the year of King Hezekiah. Also the LORD shows me 1:11 as well. This really had me concerned that I was losing it at first. I think I have read every scripture with a one in it trying to understand this. The one in Luke really hits home. He also wakes me up and takes me to Isaiah. Recently HE had me in chapters. 43 & 44. I really needed to have HIS gentle loving reinforcement of the dreams , visions and purposes HE has spoken over my life.

I am truly a blessed man of GOD and even more blessed today having read and finally putting to rest the "11:11" mystery of GOD. I bless you and pray the Favor of GOD over your family and loved ones and your ministry. Blessings to be your portion in CHRIST....Amen...........ed

Thank you for your word today. As an added for you. Here in the U.K. I read it before breakfast. I've had lots of calls to make today, then realized my mobile phone is free on Saturday. I started adding people to the directory on it, then have continually tried to phone a friend. As I am being picked up for the day at 12 and still had my hair to dry I put the phone down. As I went to pick up the hairdryer it was as though the numbers on the phone had become much brighter. Sure you're ahead of me now. Yes, it said 11.11. That did make me smile. I then went to refresh myself on the verse and then read your follow on v13. When I came back to the phone it said 11.13. I hadn't had all this in my mind after reading it. It's just God, I guess quickening it for me. I wonder when this happens, just how much I miss!

Thank you for your words, my team of intercessor's always find yours are spot on, when I pass them on to them.

Easter blessings to you and your family

Thank you for sharing this. I've passed it along to several. In particular I shared it with a friend, Jack Taylor in Melbourne, FL (author, gifted preacher and traveling teacher and minister) whose wife, Barbara passed from this world to the presence of Jesus at 11:11 (am) on January 23rd. Happy resurrection Day!

Blessings and peace,

Hello Sister,

All I could do was smile when I read "Timing is everything." From the time I was in my early 20's (1980 ), the amount of times I looked at the clock and saw 11:11 was unreal. Bank clocks, wall clocks, watches....anything and everything that could display 11:11 had so when I looked at them. I often wondered if it was the Lord's way of trying to show me something, and I even started going through the Bible looking at all the 11:11's that I could find.

So, to make a short story long...the reference to Luke 11:11 and 11:13 was more than an encouragement to me, and I will claim these scriptures also and wait on the Lord, to see what great and mighty things He will do for His children here at Restoration Church.

Thank you for your ministry sister, in the love of Jesus,

Rick

Interesting enough, 11:11 is also a very special number for Lora and I. In fact Lora's email address is lora11_11...and she has a book on the Number 11. She is naming her personal corporation "Verse 11"...because Chapter 11 is not good due to the bankruptcy thought...I can't tell you how many times I see the clock @ 11:11 and that is my signal to pray for Lora and others in my family...

THAT IS AMAZING!!! Our church has been getting 11:11 for several years, people have been incorporating it in their emails addresses and license plates, phone numbers, etc. It has been a number of confirmations for us, too! Thanks, can't wait to hear what our church thinks about your email when I send your letter around!

From: Kathryn

Hello, Sandy, Thank you for encouraging me through your 11:11 story. I too have been seeing 11:11 on my clocks and appliances for quite a while now--two or three years now. Although I go to bed at different times in the wee hours of the morning, I often awaken at 11:11.

From: Linda

Dear Sandy, As I was reading about 11:11, I glanced at the clock on my computer and it said 11:13. I thought, "To bad I didn't read this 2 minutes earlier." THEN, as I continued to read, I read what Luke 11:13 said and just thanked the Lord for the reminder of His promise. PTL! Blessings, Linda

Dear Sandy,

Yesterday something amazing happened to add to the story. A woman in our church was discouraged but kept getting 11:11 during the day. I had forwarded that email from you to her and she was so touched that the Lord would confirm it to her. Beyond that, though, last night at the ministry team meeting we were worshipping, and the Lord gave me a picture of a mogul field (the toughest part of a ski hill). I wondered if He was saying we were IN a mogul field but the easy part was in sight, or whether we were stuck in the mogul field. He said to me, "Timing is everything." I knew in skiing a mogul field that timing is everything. You have to be in a rhythm or you will fall on that difficult part of the slope.

But I did not know what He was referring to and what that had to do with my life-- I still did not connect the timing word with your letter, even though I had just read it and forwarded it a couple of hours before. At the ministry team meeting the letter was read from start to finish, and all of a sudden it "clicked," TIMING IS EVERYTHING. I knew the Lord was telling me to go back and STUDY your letter for encouragement. He also gave me another word: "It is all in the knees." I know that when you are in a mogul field you have to stay FLEXIBLE, any stiffening of the legs will cause you to lose your balance and fall. I felt perhaps He was encouraging me to go with the flow and not get too worked up about the bumps. Actually when you are REALLY good at skiing, the mogul field is the most exhilarating part of the hill.

Anyway, our pastor has been getting 11:11 since the late 70s. Most of the church tuned in the 80s and that form of confirmation has been going pretty strong ever since then. Even my kids get 11:11s and squeal. Many times I have wondered about something, looked up, and seen 11:11 on the digital clock.

Thanks again,

Kathy

I haven't even finished the article yet, but was so freaked, when I read Luke 11:11. The Lord has been speaking to me through dreams lately. Not like sleeping dreams, a word will come just as I am waking up, generally in the morning. Anyway, 3 mornings ago I woke up with a voice saying "HOW MUCH MORE WILL HE GIVE YOU THE HOLY SPIRIT". I felt the quickening of the spirit as this "dawned" on my spirit in a new way. You see for several months He has been speaking to me as I have been struggling to hear Him. We've been in a place where we were between a rock and a hard place.

Thankfully the 'rock' is HIM! But out of some very frustrating times in prayer, well more like really being mad, I have heard this; You can learn to play music either by reading music or by ear. You can be taught to play music by reading it. And you can make music. But you cannot be taught to play by ear, you can be led to it, but the learning is internal and follows a different methodology, one that is unseen. The Lord said I am teaching my people a new way. An inner listening and hearing. A way that we don't "know" in the natural. My prayer life has changed my relationship has changed. And when He said "how much more will I give you the Holy Spirit" in regard to things we are facing, I "saw". I've always looked out 'there'. But when I cry out He will give me the Holy Spirit "who will lead us into all truth". And He will lead in this inward way. He is teaching us to 'hear' and its not as we have been doing it.

Anyway, I'll go back to finish what you wrote. I am blest to hear you are out there. Look at Hawaii, there is something mighty on the way here. The voices of the Hawaiian Christians will ring the pacific basin like a beautiful lei of fragrant flowers and the Spirit of Aloha will be known for what it has always been, HIM

From Tony

Hi so many times in my life I have been Praying, going into deep worship or think of a new idea and wondering if it is of God and I look at the clock and it's 11:11. At times in my life it seems like the only times I look at a clock throughout a few days is at 11:11. When I finished reading the part of your story about 11:11 it was 11:11 and that would not have happened if my wife wouldn’t have asked me to put on some worship music so she could sing my son to sleep. By the way that’s Morning Star, Warfare. May God bless you always. Tony

Dear Sandy: Praise God for the message I received last night on the Elijah list!! It has been 11:11 am and pm, since I was about 18 years old - I am almost 40!!! I have only inquired or the Lord recently about this, though, as I just thought it was something "weird" and I kind of got used to it happening all the time. Literally a couple of days ago, I finally asked the Lord, "Is there something to this?" Then I got your story late last night. The Lord is so good!!. My husband left me and my two sons (4 and 9 yrs) two and a half years ago and the Lord put me in a season of praying, fasting, freedom, character building, refining, etc as he never gave me a release to file for divorce. Recently, my husband came to the end of himself, although he was already saved and this very week is in Post Falls, Idaho - We are from Texas, at Elijah house which is an intensive counseling ministry for inner healing and deliverance. After I read your email last night, he had forwarded me some forms to fill out from Elijah house and the time that he forwarded them was - you guessed it ...11:11pm. Anyway, I was very encouraged by your word. God Bless You!!!

From: Virginia

Sandy,

I couldn't believe it.....as I began to read your email on the mailing list of the story of the pastor and the time on the clock, etc....I found it very interesting, especially when I read the time was 11:11. I had been noticing several weeks ago and still do at times, that same thing and same number...11:11....as well as double digits (ex: 12:12; 13:13) and like him a.m. and again p.m. - waking up in the middle my the night seeing a double digit before me. It didn't take too many times for this to happen that I realized that it was not coincidence, but God....just didn't realize what He was trying to tell me, etc. I asked, but until this email, had not had an answer. I am definitely going to be more sensitive to it and seek Him regarding specific scriptures as shown in this email. I do believe He is not finished and now has my attention once again and ready to discover what more He is desiring to show me with these various numbers. Thanks for sharing this....knowing others are experiencing this same "phenomenum" is definitely interesting and GOD to say the least.

God Bless! Virginia

Dear Sandy, I just had to write and tell you about my mom, who has told me for the last year that every time she looks up at the clock it is 11:11 .... she said "there must be some spiritual significance to this, but I don't know what it is."

Tonight I got this Elijah List story about "Timing is everything" and as soon as I read 11:11 I hurried to the telephone and called my mom and read it to her .... She begged me to print out a copy for her so she could show it to several other people who she told about this 11:11 thing. Unfortunately, I can't get my printer to work so I had to forward it to my computer at work and I told her I'd print it out there for her.

When I get the whole story of the 11:11 from her, I'll email you with all of the information she gives me concerning this. She was thrilled to get the confirmation that it did indeed have spiritual significance!!!! Thank you for your story. Love, in Christ, Sandy D.

From: Joy

Dear Sandy,

I just finished reading your "11:11" testimony in the Elijah List, and just had to write a quick note to you. I didn't even get half way through the thing, when I picked up the phone, (it's very early morning here), and called my friend Debbie. Debbie, is my 'heart friend', for she and I have the same heart regarding the things of God. We find there are very few people like us... (aliens, we are!), who just want to talk about God and live for Him. It's all we do.

I live about 3 hours North of her, and she and I were just in Pittsburgh PA to hear Tommy Tenney at Joseph Garlington's church. We decided to go at the last minute, and I tell you the truth....EVERYWHERE we looked we kept seeing "11" the number 11....exits, rooms, just everywhere! It was funny. And, we said, "God? What are you trying to tell us?" The Lord had spoken about it being April 8....(new beginnings), and the previous day was the 7th, (perfection). So we were inundated with 11's on the 8th. We never quite talked it out with God to see what it meant!

As soon as I read your "11:11" testimony, it bore witness to what we saw! We have been praying and praying and talking about how we DON'T WANT TO MISS IT! Whatever God is going to do. But it seems so hard right now, and though we are weary, we are determined to press in. There are so many things He has promised us both.

Also, the Lord spoke the worked "transition" to me for this year. So,....I am holding on! Thanks be to God for He is the net! Amen?

When I talked to Debbie this morning, she seized the word! It will give her a jewel to contemplate all day. Thank you! This is just fun of God, isn't it? I just love the way He speaks and does things. You have encouraged us both greatly!

From: Neil

God often speaks to me in exactly the way you described, numbers, with my clock etc When I started to realize this, nobody could confirm that it was God who was speaking, but He convinced me.

A few days ago, I looked at my car clock and the time was 11.11 and I knew that it was significant (that still small voice) but was waiting for his confirmation and wondering what he was saying. Now I understand that he was preparing me for this email. I have been telling my friends for a while now that my circumstances are going to change quite radically. I have been in the "hope deferred" stage for a while now as I have waited and waited for God’s promises to be manifest. Lately the Vineyard song" All your promises are yes and amen" has been on my heart frequently.

It is so close now that I can see it!!!

Thank you for the timely encouragement,

Neil

From: Toinette

Hi Sandy, I am so glad we are not the only one's that are kookoo!!!!!!!! My husband is prophetic and the Lord really speaks to him in numbers also. I don't know if it was last year or the year before but the Lord hit him with the 11:11 too. It lasted a half a year, every time we turned around it was 11:11. We had all kinds of scriptures with it, we thought something was going to happen on Nov. 11, we ran with it. I don't know what all the Lord spoke to him about it but I do know that when my husband read your word this morning before work it lit him right back up. He woke me up and said you got to read this word. He left for work expecting even more. We live in Zion, Illinois founded by John Dowie and we are believing God is going to do some great and mighty things in this town again, we are redigging wells. We are being hooked up with John Lake's healing homes in Spokane in September. 2 rivers meeting, just like Pensacola and Toronto. Can't wait. Please keep our city in prayer, it is really big what God is going to do.....Blessings and thanks for the encouraging words God chasing together, Mark and Toinette

From: Barbara

Hi Sandy,

No great story, except that during the last two weeks, I was telling my husband that 11:11 must mean something because I kept getting it!

So I usually go to the Psalms when this happens, but often there is not a corresponding one. At one time, I was so convinced of the meaning of something that I read something like Chapter 2 vs 13 (just an example because I cannot remember the real example) in every book of the Bible.

That in itself was significant because it was incredibly instructive just to read from every book. I love the numbers because they get my attention. Patterns get my attention... draw me from the flesh to the spirit so to speak.

Cracks open the hard shells of all this unbelief.

Peace of Jesus.. have to go.. it is 9:32. Have to go look it up!

From: Larry

Dear Sandy,

Received the article, "TIMING IS EVERYTHING" via the Elijah List this morning, April 18, 2001. You’re right the TIMING IS EVERYTHING!

I have been part of a prayer group in Bolivar, Mo for over two or so years. It’s unofficially called Bolivar SWAT Team because of the nature of the prayer assignments the Holy Spirit gives us. When I read the article, I realized that it was speaking to a lot of what we prayed upon in the meeting last night (Tuesday, April 17) especially the portion about "Transition." Several of the group are going through some serious transition in their personal circumstances. We stayed a lot on this subject seeking God about timing and other related issues. Several in the group often see and understand things in the Spirit by what they see in the natural realm, (i.e. words, signs etc.). They ask the Lord to confirm with His Word and we pray it out oftentimes.

Usually when I see a prophetic word that confirms something we are dealing with or that just stands out to me I print it and give a copy to Carol our group leader the next time I see her (i.e. at church, etc.) It is amazing how many of the things Steve chooses to put out on the Elijah List go right along with the spiritual flow of the group!

This time I printed a copy and took it directly to Carol where she works, so she might be able to read it later today. Her employer, Carl, is a local chiropractor who is also a part of the SWAT Team.

I learned later that Carl had a few moments so he took the article to his office to read it. A few minutes later Carl called Carol back to his office. He shared with her that he had been up late last night reading and praying. When he was going to bed he looked at his digital alarm clock and you know what it read? 11:11!

Carol then read the article through and as she read the last part about a "season of ‘SUDDENLIES,’" The phrase, "your portion is coming" stood out. About 4 am this morning she was awakened and spent time praying and reading the word. The Holy Spirit impressed her to read Psalm 73. As she read it one verse stood out, verse 26, which says,

"My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever."

We thank you for being obedient to submit this Word. It has been a great encouragement to us. After all the "TIMING IS EVERYTHING!" With my love in Jesus,

Larry

Dear Sandy, I could hardly believe my eyes when my husband showed me your prophetic story from off the internet. I was saved in 1976 when I was in college. A few months after my salvation experience, I began noticing my digital clock am and pm at 11:11 It got to be a joke with my roommates when I would comment that "there it is again- 11:11". I knew in my heart it was more than just a coincidence. After several months of this occurring I had been asking God what it was all about. One Sunday, I was in church, and the pastor said, "Turn to Duet. 11:11." The hair stood up on my arms. God has used that verse many times in my life, especially when it is before a move. The verse talks about 'a land which you are about to cross over, a land where the eyes of God are continually upon that drinks from the rain of heaven'

The first move was to Argentina as a young missionary. It is a land of green hills, and spiritually it has had many revivals-it is definitely .a land that drinks of the water of heaven. Then I moved to Atlanta again a land of green hills- there I drank much rain from heaven when we were in a sovereign move of God. In 1994 God called us to the hill country of Texas where we pastored a church for six years. A few months ago the Lord led me to Duet. 11:11 again. We are preparing to move to the town of Cross Plains (a land we are crossing over to) to be on staff at Living Waters Church. This church, unlike any we've been in, in our twenty years of ministry...has an incredible flow from the streams of heaven. The land we are specifically looking at for our homesite is a hill in the middle of the valleys and plains.

There have been countless 11:11's along the way, also. It seems when I'm down or need reassuring I'm in the right place or doing the right thing, there will be an 11:11. God is saying to me He is there. His eyes are continually upon me.

In my adult life I have not shared my 11:11 except with my husband. I wasn't sure how people would react. I was so encouraged to hear this happens to other people and God has told me to include the Luke 11:11 verse to what He is saying about our upcoming move.

Thankyou so much for sharing this testimony and Happy Birthday. You're right, God is never late- even if we are. Nancy

From: Anna

Last evening, as a member of the Elijah List mailout, I received and read your message concerning 11:11. This morning, the first e-mail that I opened was from a friend who sent it last evening at 11:11! The message was a written prayer/blessing. Whenever I tried to forward it to your office, my computer showed, "11:17," rather than 11:11. I don't know why a six-minute discrepancy occurred. I'm not computer literate, though I taught typing for twenty years [b.c.--ie., before computers :-)].

I have noted with interest 11:11 for quite sometime, not from a spiritual standpoint, however. Recently a little friend tried to use the methodology that her kindergarten teacher had taught her about adding, taking away and learning to tell time. As we were motoring along, I heard myself say, "8:08 is the same when read backward (from right to left) or forward (left to right) and it looks the same whether it is right side up or upside down. I added that the same is true for 11:11."

I don't recall the point that she was trying to get across, but she did not like my response one bit. Nor did she like my response that 11:11 resembled a section of a railroad track, especially if a sequence of 11:11's were vertically placed end to end. Though quite young, she has an artistic talent that far surpasses what many adults could ever hope to achieve. I believe that she comprehended well, and the next day after church we had a good laugh about the Arabic numerical system.

. . . And I asked her to forgive me for purposefully confusing the numeral "zero" with the alphabetical letter "o." Children obviously have a clearer concept of this than adults, because she emphatically corrected me each time that I used the incorrect terminology.

Was so blessed to read your entry on the Elijah List site. I have seen 11:11's for the past 18 years, even before I was walking with the Lord, and always marveled over it. Since we moved to Montana(9 years ago now), I have seen these continually.

One day about 5 years ago, my wife and I were praying together, and she read a scripture to me, "Through the blessing of the upright, a city is exalted, and by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down." I asked her the reference and she said, Proverbs 11:11! I knew it was a word from the Lord, as we had been praying over our community and valley. It was a word to speak blessing and not cursing (as we were tempted to do many times, because of the hardships we have endured while living here).

Since that time, I have continued to see the 11:11's, and always felt there was more to it, and asked God to speak to me more about it. Just a couple weeks ago, the scripture came to my mind, "A city set on a hill cannot be hidden" Matt. 5:14. It was then I realized that the city I needed to be blessing was the HOLY CITY, the body of Christ!! I feel more of God's blessing and anointing to do this than just about anything else I pray for.

Lately I have felt a strong desire to ASK for more of His Spirit, and particularly desiring the greater gifts for the edification of the body. The Luke 11:11 passage has come to my mind often and been my prayer quite often lately. Thank you so much for confirming what I have heard whispered in my heart by God. God bless you! I can't wait to read your book.

Shortly before the 11's started, I began to see rainbows all over the place. It began one day when I saw a band of a rainbow in the sky. The next morning when I awoke, the same shaped rainbow band was on the wall above my bed. Then when I went downstairs, there were over a dozen little rainbow bands all over my dining room and kitchen walls (from the sun coming through the dining room light fixture). This occurred on 3/11/00. Then, a couple days later the 11's began.

I've been asking since then, "Lord, what does 11:11 mean?" Thoughts about double blessings, 11th hour, Mark 11:23-24 about believing when you ask God have been rummaging through my head. Confusing myself. Even still after reading your post.

Back on 7/11/00, I believe it was you who posted a word on the Elijah List about Prayer opening the door - it references queen Esther. The morning it posted (7/25), I had been thinking about God's goodness, and how in my false humility and lack of confidence I refuse it. No, no I don't deserve it. When He's saying, "Everything I have is yours - you're royalty, it's free, given to you, bestowed upon you. Come and take - don't be shy or ashamed..." And I felt that God was saying, "Don't be afraid to be wrong in your asking as though this is a one time chance. As you ask, I will fill you/your needs, and I will always be asking you, 'what do you want?'. Continue to respond and I'll continue to fill." We grow in our response to His question (what do you want), and He delights to answer "Yes and Amen" through Christ Jesus. I have had many desires on hold for several years -promises/prophecies/hopes. It's been difficult, but I've seen beginning breakthroughs in some of the areas. I really had given up on the asking about 11:11, figuring it was just another distraction until I read your post. And while I'm still wondering a bit about the direct application - it seems as though the Lord is saying "I remember my promises (rainbows)" - and I'm very encouraged and hopeful for the "suddenlies"!!

Bless the Lord oh my soul and forget not one of his many benefits :) It's amazing to me that this has been going on with others. I'm blessed to be a part of His 11:11/7:11 move!

Thank you -

Molly

Hi Sandy,

I was overwhelmed and excited when I read this posting on the Elijah List. For the past 4 years, 11:11 and 7:11 continually come before me, by continually I mean usually a few times a week, and sometimes several days in a row for several weeks. I am still not clear on what this all means, I have prayed and asked God, but He seems to be silent on the issue, or I'm not understanding. I see the numbers on my clock in my bedroom, on my clock on the phone in my office, on my palm pilot, on my computer, driving down the road on billboards, sitting with someone and they have a digital watch on and 11:11 shows up. I have fallen asleep and out of a sound sleep wake up and look at the clock, 11:11. A couple of years ago my wife and I went to Ireland, we had gotten to know some people over there through internet and when we were in Ireland we stayed with one of the couples, and the address of their house was 1111.

From: Joy

Hi there,

I was very interested in your @ about 11;11 as I have been getting that for some months my boyfriend was also getting the same.

Bob Jones even mentioned and asked the Morningstar congregation for a show of hands on how many people were getting 11;11 - he felt it was Isaiah 11:11 I believe.

The Lord speaks to me through no's at times - esp car number plates and digital clocks.

Much love,

Joy

Sandy,

I just HAD to write and tell you what happened when I was reading your letter tonight. I just got home from church at about 10:30 and decided to sit down and read my email from the last week. (10 from the Elijah List). I skimmed through most of them and then came across yours. As I'm reading it I'm thinking that the whole numbers thing is kind of strange and that I may just delete this email before I finish. Praise God I didn't!

This last year God has been doing incredible things in my life and in the lives of my family. God told us to leave a beloved body of believers last June and has taken us on a journey to meet Him more intimately and become acquainted with the work and POWER of the Holy Spirit. I have really struggled to understand a lot of it and have questioned him often. I have repeatedly been referred to the two scriptures you referenced in your letter: Luke 11:11 and Matthew 7:11. They have never held as much power as they did tonight for me.

I was crying out, "Yes, Lord, yes!" as I was reading them feeling that God was confirming to me that the new things I have been learning and experiencing were indeed from Him. Just then, I looked down at the clock on my computer and guess what time it was? 11:11! I said "Oh, Wow!" then looked over at my VCR which time said 11:13! God is amazing!

I hope this blesses your heart the way your letter did mine.

In Him,

Lisa

From: Sarah

Hi Sandy,

My name is Sarah and I read with great interest your story on the Elijah List about the numbers 11:11. I have a story about 11:11 to add to your list.

When my second husband and I were married January 22, 1971, we were finding the number 11:11 in everything. The hotel room we stayed in was 1111; the day of our marriage, 22, was 11 doubled which was 11 11. We used that number for various things from code numbers to a sign of love for one another. However, in 1986,at the end of 15 years we separated to later divorce. It was especially hard because he was and is a fine generous man but with problems he will not address. So, for me every time I glanced at my digital clock and saw 11:11, it was a painful reminder of what could have been.

For years I would see 11:11 especially as I would go to bed, it seemed my body clock was set on 11:11. I got to my early 50's still single and discouraged with where my life seemed to be going, which was nowhere. I felt what can I do with the rest of my life that would be useful to God and anybody else. One night as I reached to turn out the light (at 11:11 of course) I asked God why it always had to be 11:11. The next morning I prayed and asked God to give me something else that 11:11 could stand for so it would not always be a hurtful reminder. Then I wondered about bible verses that were 11:11. The first thing I thought of was chapter 11 of Hebrews the famous chapter of faith. Then I turned and read, "By faith, Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised."

You can imagine what that did to me. The Lord was telling me, Sarah, that by and through faith I could have power to conceive (ability to bring to life) whatever hopes and dreams I could imagine, no matter what my age because God my father is faithful to his promise to produce impossible life in me. Now when I see 11:11, I say, "by faith, Sarah" and I rejoice, as it is such a wonderful reminder of my Father's love for me.

At the age of 57, "by faith Sarah" entered college as a freshman in January of 2000. I am finishing up my second spring term with a GPA that will come up from its present 3.6 when grades are posted. I am working toward a degree in Social Work where my giftings can be best used. I am still single and it is difficult working and going to school but God has promised and now the 11:11 on the clock just serves to strengthen me.

May God continue to use your writings to encourage.

By faith,

Sarah

Dear Sandy

About 5 years ago I was going through a very very difficult time. The enemy was doing double time on me. Every time I looked at a clock I would see 11:11. It might be on my stove, microwave, by the bed, on a bank sign, but it was every where!! In my mind, and I did realize this was from my mind not my spirit, I kept hearing, "the 11:11 stands for bars, and you are in jail in this situation and can't get out!" It became very depressing!

But after nine agonizing months the Lord delivered me! However the 11:11 continued, EVERY WHERE!! I am no longer intimidated by it but just irritated. Then last night when I got in bed, guess what.....11:11. I prayed "Lord, what is the deal?" And immediately I heard, "it's a verse." I was tired and it was late but I started looking up all the 11:11's I could find. But fatigue got the best of me.....then this afternoon, I went to the computer and read the Elijah List letter, with your story!!!!! WOW....is all I can say. What a mighty awesome God we serve. And to think the enemy tried to steal this precious message from the Lord from me.

Thank you so much for sharing...

Bless You.......

From: Kim

Hello Sandy,

My name is Kim and I could not believe the story you wrote about the 11:11 thing. I have been having that happen to me off and on for months. It has been absolutely amazing!

I have asked my prophetic friends for an answer and have not been happy with their responses. What you wrote about God and how He will not give us a stone was right on. Every time I had noticed the 11:11 on my clock or watch, I would smile a "knowing God loves me" smile. It made me feel content and loved and I did not know why. Now I do.

Thank you and have a 11:11 day,

Kim

From: Irving

The Lord began to give me these 11-11's about 3 months ago up here in Springfield Massachusetts. As you have testified I would continuously be drawn by the Holy Spirit to look at the clock at exactly 11:11 and the Lord would show me II Samuel 11:1 that this is indeed the time that Kings will go forth into battle and not to be idle and looking around. As I talked to others about this they would look at me a little funny but later in the same day the headlines of the Boston Globe newspaper would have 11-11 in large bold print on the front page which I would show to all those who had doubted. So many times this happen that I was in awe knowing that 11 is the number of the prophetic, John Paul Jackson being carried in his mother's womb for 11 months. Also 11 means the hour of chaos in which the prophetic will rise up in the church to be answer.

Christ in you

From: Renee

Dear Sandy,

A number of years ago I too began seeing 11:11 on the clock every time I looked at it. I questioned the Lord about it because I knew it was prophetic, but I never got an answer. Even to this day when I would see 11:11 I would wonder. Talk about God's timing! The pastor's story and yours about your belated birthday card came just at the time I needed it! And just now as I write this, I glanced down at my computer's clock and it says 11:11!!!! Isn't God awesome???

Get ready! Get ready! Get ready! The season of suddenlies is upon us!

Blessings,

Renee

From: Betty

Dear Sandy,

Thank you so much for your words of encouragement. I needed that. I was reading several days of Elijah List emails and when I finished reading yours the digital clock in the corner of the windows program was - GUESS WHAT? - 11:11 PM. I take that as a prophetic word that PAYDAY IS COMING. I have been questioning the Lord about why it has seemed so long for my prayers to be answered. Now I know.

THANK YOU. GOD BLESS YOU!!!

From: Ann

Dear Sandy,

I was fascinated by your "Timing is Everything " article on the Elijah List because for months my husband and I have been see 11:11 everywhere and we didn't have a clue what God was saying. Even this weekend we found 11 cents in a creek and knew He was up to something which He confirmed a little later by sending us two people to witness to. We are not sure why we keep seeing this and will study your article. If you have any more insights I 'd sure like to hear them.

From: Joan

Sandy:

For months now I get numbers. 11:11 is often one of them. But always when I have looked at a digital clock I see the number 8:30 or 10:28 or 4:27.

These are the month/day dates of mine, husband's, and daughters birthdates.

I even went so far as to go to several book stores and search out a book on Biblical numerology... haven't found one yet.

At this writing, I have not yet read your message. I'm looking forward to devouring it with pen/pad and highlighter. :-)

Love

7:11

From: martin

Hi Sandy, This is incredible! The Lord has been giving us 7-11 for over 2 1/2 years now. We have been getting the number 7-11 every way you can think of. Digital clocks, score boards during football games, microwaves and just about any other way you could imagine. My wife even had a post card sent to her about an Italian spaghetti sauce named 7-11. We had our electric bill come with 711kilowatt hours. The first time I noticed it the Lord said to me take note when I looked at our digital clock and it read 7-11. The next night while I was praying the Lord spoke to me take note again while I looked at the clock and it was again 7-11. Since that time it seems like the only number we see at times is 7-11!

The Lord also showed me Matthew 7-11 as the scripture he was referring to. How wonderful the Lord is to confirm this in such a special way! The very first thing our daughter wrote when we gave crayons to Her for the first time was a perfect 7 and then an 11 and at the time our daughter didn't know any numbers! The Lord also has been using this number to confirm things to us. I have a really powerful revelation to tell you concerning this number and the prophetic meaning to it. Praise the name of Yahweh Forever! Marty

From: Rebecca

Hello Sandy,

Thank you for your work published today on the Elijah List! I have been seeing lots of 7:11's on my clocks---particularly my bedside clock and the digital clock on my car dashboard. All that came to mind was the old 7-11 grocery store ad: "Oh thank heaven, for 7-11." So I just took it as a reminder to praise and thank Him, and would always do so joyfully! But you have given me the rest of the meaning, about my Father knowing how to give me good gifts. Your entire word was so encouraging. That the things He has promised are on the way. He has also spoken to me about this year being a year of suddenlies, but I haven't seen the suddenlies yet. So your word was an encouragement, and will help me not to become discouraged in the waiting! And to know that he does indeed have good gifts for me and that timing is everything . .

Thank you so much for this word! I met you once, Sandy, at the Albany Vineyard. It's been perhaps 8 months or a year ago. I get to attend the Prophetic Conference next week at the Albany Vineyard. Will you be attending also? Perhaps I will see you there. My house is on the market, and I feel I am to relocate somewhere in Oregon, but the place is not clear to me yet. When the house sells I may just get an apartment in Portland, and keep working at my current job until God reveals the next step. I would love it if you would say a short prayer for me about this! Thanks so much! All of God's richest blessings!

Rebecca

From Lanita

Well, the Lord just reminded me of something else and I thought I'd add another e-mail to your list. I'm sure you are getting many. The Lord gives my daughter scriptures when she will be still long enough to listen. Last year He gave her Jeremiah 7:11. I happened to be reading in Jeremiah a few minutes ago and noticed the note I had written in the margin. I believe its a very timely verse for today. When a friend of mine asked the Lord about our churches being a den of robbers, she asked the Lord: "What have we robbed, Lord?" And HE answered, "My churches have been robbed of my presence."

From: Melanie

Hi Sandy,

God has been showing me 7-11 for years now...I always knew it wasn't a coincidence, but I never knew what it meant. I have told so many people about it and nobody had an answer. See, I just assumed it was God telling me he was thinking about me.. Because my birthday is 7-11-77. I always felt lucky my entire life!!! Haha...

Thanks~ In him

[26] Responses from Readers About Other Quickened Numbers

NOTE FROM SANDY: Although these stories about how God speaks through numbers are fun, encouraging and confirming to our faith, I felt that when there were several witnesses to the same number, that it was a confirming sign of what the Lord will be doing in the 11th hour, since the post was about the 11:11 story. That is why these other wonderful stories are posted in this file. So enjoy the rest of these!

For those who see double or triple numbers, it is a sign of confirmation from the Lord. This comes from the following scriptures:

"As for having the dream twice, it means that the matter has been decreed by God and that he will make these events happen soon." (Gen 41:32 NLT)

"But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established." (Matt 18:16 KJV)

"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them." (Matt 18:20 KJV)

"This is the third time I am coming to you. In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established." (2 Cor 13:1 KJV)

222 & 22

From: Edith

Dear Sandy, I too have been getting 11:11 and some 7:11 over and over for about 3 years now. The other number that I get a lot is 2:22. I wake at night and it is 2:22--any enlightenment on 2:22? It happens so much I feel it is something significant for me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From: Nancy

Oh Sandy, that does my heart good! Since June of 2000 I have CONSTANTLY seen the number 11:11, than 7:11( so many times in a week, you would find it hard to believe) and one night i just said "Lord, I remember when you let me see an angel in my room and now it's so dry and I'm confused, and I wonder if I'm making this 11:11 thing up-would you confirm this"? The next morning my husband woke me up to say that the night before he looked at the digital clock as he made the coffee and it was 11"11, and the first time I actually looked at the clock that morning it was 11:11.

Honestly, I could not recount all the stories. But then in Dec. of 2000, there began to occur on top of those numbers, the number 111, and 222. On the clock, on the exercise machine; always 1:11 or 2:22. On Jan. 1., my daughter looks at the car clock on the way to lunch and it is 1:11 of 1-2001-NEW BEGINNINGS!!!!

I believe the 2 repeated continually in triplicate represents "division, separate" as in divide and come away from and separate yourself unto the HOLY. The fact that it is usually in threes to me indicates the SOVEREIGNTY OF THE TRIUNE GOD. One last one, for fun!!! In Oklahoma we are wild consumers of a soft drink called "Dr. Pepper". It used to be advertised that people drank it at "10, 2 and 4" for their health(because it was rumored to have prune juice in it-yuk-it doesn't). Well, my sister had come home from the hospital and her newborn had been diagnosed with a syndrome that is very very difficult to bear, and the outlook (medically speaking is not good).. My heart was on the floor and I was praying for Peter Nathaniel and I looked at his birthcertificate and it reminded me that he was born on 10-24! i.e. 10, 2 and 4 DR PEPPER!!!! Okay, that 's just the way the Lord speaks to my heart and says to me "I AM THE HEALER". Thanks for sharing-what an encouragement! nancy

From: Carol

I read your account about "7:11" on the Elijah List and I noticed that you were wanting people to write in any "number" stories they may have.... When I was seeking the Lord about what to pray for a friend of mine who was going with an intercessory prayer/worship team to Israel this year in March, I saw the number 22 in a vision and the Lord gave me 2 Chronicles 20:22 to pray over this intercession/worship team. The number 22 means LIGHT. 2 Chronicles 20:22 "And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes against the men of AMMON, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were defeated."

Before my friend left I had two t-shirts made with the number 22 and the name of the prayer group put on the back of each shirt. One shirt was for my friend to wear in Israel during the trip and one t-shirt was for me to wear here in the states during this same time frame. It turned out that 22 people signed up to go on this trip to Israel and the group left on the 22 day of March. While they were in Israel, 22 Arab nations convened in an Arab League summitt in Amman, Jordan (which is the biblical capital of Ammon). The summit was entitled "Accord and Agreement" and the Arabs met to discuss the Palestinian issue and Israel. I believe the Lord used the intercessory worship of this group to send confusion into this summit, as the newspaper accounts said the summit was anything but "accord and agreement" between the 22 Arab League members (the stumbling block was Iraq's insistence to have all of the Arab nations put pressure on the United Nations to lift the "no-fly zone" and lift the economic sanctions on Iraq, however, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are still suspicious of Iraq ever since the Gulf War Invasion of Iraq into Kuwait and these nations could not be persuaded to agree with these objectives) . While my friend was over in Israel I was driving down the interstate during the middle of the day and the interstate street lights lit up all the way down only as far as Exit 22 (which I take to get to my children's school). One last 22 occurred when our Pastor asked my friend to talk about her trip to Israel; he has asked her to speak on the 22 day of April.

Shalom! Carol

From: Virginia

Hi Sandy, This story you related about 11:11 got my attention. I, too have a story. Mine is with the #22.Every where I look is the #22.Clocks,odometor,highway signs, car tags, etc .If we get new numbers on bank cards, grocery cards,etc.,22 is there. I drove school bus 22.My husband rode on bus 22 when a student. His ss # is 422.....Many times pastor uses scriptures in sermon with verse 22 all through sermon. I asked the Lord what it meant. This is what He said. He has given me a GREAT love for Israel. There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. There are 22 verses in Rev. He said when I see the # 22,it will remind me to "Pray for the peace of Jerusalem. "Psalm 122:6. also...the V in my name is the 22nd letter in the alphabet...God bless you, Virginia

From: Judy

My family and another family have seen these numbers repeatedly and over several years. One night i saw it on a license plate that was neon green in color so that it glowed in the dark! We have seen these numbers on computers, license plates , clocks over and over again so that it makes us really wonder what is God saying. One time on way to New York- Utica- saw numbers 222 a lot too. Any idea what mean? i also have been seeing 1111 a lot too.

316

From: Justin

Dear Sandy, I was reading your letter submitted to the Elijah list, and I was excited to hear how the Lord has spoken to you through numbers. I can relate. One number that comes to mind that I have seen several times is 3:16. I have seen this consistently on clocks around my apartment. I am always reminded of John 3:16. At first I thought it was just a coincidence, than I realized that it happened quite frequently. It has really encouraged me, and reminds me of the Father's great love. Not just for me, but for the world. I believe my calling includes reaching the nations for Christ.

Thank you for sharing your experiences with the Body of Christ. Your brother in the Lord, Justin

Hi Justin,

Your number story is a real blessing! Thanks so much for sharing it! I have to give you a confirmation that BEFORE I read your last line about calling to the nations, the Lord quickened to me that your scripture meant that you were called to be an evangelist.

May the Lord bless you as you pursue Him.

Lovingly,

Sandy

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Luke 11:11-12 NKJV

If a son asks for bread from any father among you, will he give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him a serpent instead of a fish?

Matt 7:11-12 NKJV

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

From: Jane

Good Morning Sandy........ Thank you for your teaching/comments in the e-mail from Elijah List on "Timing is Everything". Earlier this year my daughter who was 10 at the time....became 11 about a month or so after this happened......had a vision during one of our Sunday meetings at the body we attend....a Vineyard Church. It goes like this.....in her own words.....

........."There was a woman, walking down the street.....she was well-off...money-wise....and she was a Christian. While she was walking down the street a plain little box just dropped down out of the sky from God. She knew it was from God, but she just threw it behind her and kept on walking. Then a little waif came up behind her and picked up the box and opened it. She looked at it and looked at it and it was a diamond ring with blue velvet background. She kept the gift.......she knew it was from God."

........My daughter began to realize.....she has been seeing 11:11's for a while....that it might be the Lord speaking to her.....so she asked the Lord what the 11:11's meant. Karley heard the Lord tell her to look in John 11:11........KJV " These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth, but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep."

Sandy......I have not been seeing the 11:11's........I see 3:16's all over the place.....I'll be driving down the road and feel the urge to look at a house.....and there over the garage is the address......316......my grocery, drug-store tickets....3:16.....digital clocks.....etc. This has been going on for about a year and a half. I have asked a few people about it......of course there is John 3:16.....I also received Colossians 3:16 "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord." At the same I was seeing the 3:16's......the Lord allowed me to experience a couple of visitations......in which I was given "singing lessons".....since then I receive prophetic songs......

Along with the "suddenlies"......in the fall of 1999 while attending a conference at the School of the Spirit in Mobile.....I had some experiences. On 3 occasions......when I would lay down....to rest or nap.....the room would begin to spin....(like in my drinking days....???!!!)....and I would begin to see a road......and I was traveling down it very fast going forward.....and the trees and the things by the side of the road were whooshing by.......and I asked the Lord what was happening....and He said....."it is the season of suddenlies"......... Thanks for your being faithful to share with us, Sandy...... Blessings to You and Your Loved Ones..........jane

333

From: Yvonne

Good Morning Sandy, My heart leaped when I read your article this morning. I'm quite sure a few of my friends were also amazed when reading it, too. For about 10 years the Lord has used the number 333 (Jer. 33:3) to speak to me. Before HE would real a mystery I would see the number. At first I use to wake up at exactly 3:33am in the morning to spend quiet time with HIM, and it would amaze me how I would wake up at exactly 3:33am. It progressed to the most amazing adventures of my life!

Before HE'D show me something I would be prepared to receive, because I would see the number 333. I wouldn't even be looking for it , and there it would be. HE would be guiding my eyes. Be it on houses or every license plate that Anchorage, Alaska could even hold. I could pick a book and it would reference the number 333, and there would be the scripture. HE has used the most profound ways to let me see it. I also believe HE has been training my eyes, as well.

How many stories I could tell you about , but the list would be REALLY endless! Just a two examples..... 1.One time our two families were camping in a remote Alaskan camp site. One we had never been to before. We all went on a long hike. There they were; to men, on this path just standing there (strange, just standing there). Upon the leg of one of the men, down his gray sweat pants in big, bold letters of green were, 333. I was so amazed, not to mention my girlfriend. We couldn't even begin to understand why anyone would have put those numbers straight down their legs. We never have even noticed athletic pants like them before in stores .Needless to say, HE got my attention even way out there! Don't ask me why we didn't say a word to them....I guess, being in "awe" would be the best answer.

Another time, I went to a retreat with some sisters in the Lord. In the evening one lady brought out those calendars that you rotate and place daily scripture on your desk. Why she brought it out could have only been the leading of the Lord! She said lets look at the scripture of everyone's birthday. So she went around asking, and my birthday date of course had Jer. 33:3 as the srcipture reference! He again revealed something during the retreat.

My family has traveled quite a bit in the last twelve years , and HE has proven HIS heart towards me with HIS number in countless ways. Best of all, it is HIS number, and I just simply call upon HIM, and He is always faithful to show me great and wondrous things I do not know.

What touches my heart so much is how perfect HIS timing is! How really in control HE is of our lives (my head doesn't just know this, but my heart). I homeschool my sons; so life is full, and this is HIS way to gets my attention. I'm so glad He takes the time for each of His beloved children. You have again been a blessing with your articles. May He increase your love for all the saints sweet sister! Sincerely, Yvonne

Sandy, I read what you said, on the Elijah List about Numbers. When I saw that," I thought well," maybe I'm fixing to find out about, what seeing certain times on the clock means. Cause you see, for a couple or more years now, I would happen to look at the clock and it would be 3:33. This happened so much that I really began to wonder if there was a reason, or meaning for this. I would tell members of my family about it. I'm glad I finally found out that this has happened to someone else. I am not use to being aware that God is showing ME something through things. Although I know of people that He shows them things like that. I am a Ministers wife. My husband passed away in 1998. He had a bad case of Alzheimer’s. Thank you for inviting anyone who has had this to happen to them, to write you. I don't have the answer to my number 3:33 yet. The Lord may tell you what it means. If He does, please let me know. I REALLY enjoyed reading your article about this subject. God Bless!!! ~:Mary:~

From: Carolyn

I had designed and written a line of greeting cards, called Ribbons and Rainbow. Things were going really well with the cards. People were blessed and we were blessed by them too. The income of the cards was substantial and upon going to the bank we found we could qualify for a house if the price of the house came down by 33,000. STILL, we needed to sell our house. Not a buyer was in sight. AND our hearts quaked at the thought of spending so much on a house.

One night in the midst of waiting, I had a dream that the people who owned "the castle house" as we came to call it (it has a turret in the front} bought our little house so we could purchase the castle house. The next day following the dream, I called my realtor and she said, "Hey, let's give it a try." You guessed it, they agreed to purchase our house. So, we made them an offer. First, they said no. Somehow, I didn't think this was over. So, I prayed, "Lord, if this is not what you want please close the door, if it is, could you please let me know by my birthday because I need to close the door and quit hoping.

Well, at sundown, on my birthday, one month after this prayer, the phone rang with the biggest birthday present I've ever had! Yes, they agreed to come down 33,000 dollars to a selling price of 333,000. Well, the story gets more serious now. We moved in and the castle felt like we was finally home. However, I would continue to worry that we had overextended ourselves. Well, the more I would worry, the more the number 333 would show up. EVERYWHERE. It got to be that I would laugh out loud. 333 showed up on the clock when I wasn't thinking about it: I would receive change in 333; glance at house numbers 333, people would say 333; items at the store would add up to 333. IT WAS EVERYWHERE to constantly remind me of God's hand in bestowing us with this house.

Well, I of little faith am dealing with this in a really heavy way right now. The card company told us the line would go on for 5 to seven years. GREAT! BUT, 3 months later I got a phone call that they would drop the line because the card company that sold my cards was being bought by another card company. UGH, did our world go tumbling. Not just because of finances. It just hurt. The cards are so HIS. They are so fun to create with Him. So fun to watch people receive His heart through them. Oh well. My heart still hurts.

Anyway, my income pays for the house. My husband's handles everything else, including Christian school for our four children. Well, the income stopped from the cards stopped last month, a year after I was given the notice. (At first, they wanted to stop income immediately, but the Lord interceded and gave me a year to provide income in another way. Still, all through this 333's were everywhere. Interestingly, they popped up only when I was anxious about finances.

Today, we are in a real dilemma. I have been doing interior design and faux finishing for people to provide income, but it is exhausting me and taking away from my family. My heart really wants to paint big pastel original art revealing the Father's heart. I have a PASSION for it and yet that is not a steady income. We ask ourselves everyday, do we sell our house? Was this gift just for a short season?

One day recently, the Lord gave me Jeremiah 33:3 and when I opened my bible I read all about restoration! We can now approach other companies about the cards. Maybe someone will pick them up. Three people have given me short words about the door shutting because something bigger is coming. Still the 333 are there, now with 444's and sometimes 555's. Do you have a sense of what God would be saying with the addition of these numbers?

You can see why your word really hit home for me. One, your experience started with a greeting card. Smile. Second, I have sparrows flying all around in my cards. I feel like the little one tail spinning, falling out of control. I loved that part of your word. Thirdly, the words you wrote, "check inside the card" sprang out at me! Could the Lord be telling me the cards will have another home to feed the sparrows and provide a check for our family? Oh Lord, let it be!!!

444

NOTE FROM SANDY: For several years myself and a few other scribes that I know are wakened at 4:44 in the morning with either visions, dreams or His still small voice. It got to be very common. The Lord gave us the following scripture as a promise to associate with the number 4:44:

Ezek 44:4 KJV

Then brought he me the way of the north gate before the house: and I looked, and, behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD: and I fell upon my face.

I read in the Shepherd's Rod that Bob Jones is quickened to 4:44 in the mornings. I don't know the significance of that.

From: Jane

I really appreciated the article on God and numbers. He speaks to me this way and people think I'm strange, so I share it only with believers although some of these "unbelievers" have been convinced ..because God said I would never be ashamed.

To make a long story short, in the last nine years I have been through some very tough and challenging circumstances where I lost everything, husband(non-believer) money, business, health, home, job etc. through various means. Whenever I could not take it any more

I would be in traffic, crying, driving somewhere for some reason, and at these hardest times a car or other vehicle would zip in front of me and stay there till I was almost home and the license plate would be...letters...777.God was telling me that whatever it looked like or felt like He was with me and He knew.. I was comforted. This continually started to happen, always at the lowest points of my life, and always with me crying in the car that I could not take it anymore. I was always comforted. It occurred to me to share this with several persons on separate occasions. When I told them the story.. they smirked or said, yeah, right!!! Within two - ten minutes a vehicle would come along and pass in front of us so we had to follow...you guess it. License plate...numbers 777 every time. God never let me be ashamed.

The second part of the story is that for all these years, and still difficulties, when I get home, whenever I happen to glance at the clock in the afternoon, for whatever reason, it is most of the time 4:44 (total restoration)! I have seen some restoration in the last year and it's coming faster, and more abundantly. So I know I am in the season of suddenlies, and if you faint not, and prevail you will received the promises. Be alert as to how God talks to you! I love it! In Christ...Jane

From: Jan

I wanted to share with you our experience with the numbers thing. Recently I was awakened to aloud knock at the door. It was 4:44 a.m. I shot up out of bed and roused my husband. Of course, when you hear a knock at the door at that time, it usually means there is a problem or an emergency of some kind. I said, "Somebody is knocking at the door!" We both shot up immediately, ran around to the door I thought the knock was coming from, then examined all the doors. We looked in the yard. My husband even went outside. There was nobody to be found. After that, we continaually saw 4:44 on every clock.

The most unusual event was when I was trying to fix my Rainsoft water treatment system. The electricity had gone off and I had to reset the clock and the timer for it to regenerate. I was trying to get it to 3:34, which was what time it was. I was pressing the button, moving it one number at a time. I had to close to that time, and when I let off the button to leave it at 3:34, I looked at it and it said....you guessed it....4:44. That wasn't possible in the natural.

We spent some time with Bob Jones the following week. I didn't mention any of this. He brought up the subject and mentioned a knock on the door. I told him I had heard the knock, and felt it must have been in the spirit because we found no one. He laughingly asked us to look on his wall at his pictures that had been nailed to the wall. We all laughed. He said that the Lord had knocked on his door so many times and so loudly, that by the time he ran to the living room, saying, "Okay, Lord, I'm coming as fast as I can", all the pictures would be in the floor by the time he got there from the Lord knocking so hard, so he just nailed them to the wall. He said that the knock was an invitation from the Lord to go higher into your calling, or to be elevated to another level.

I told him about the 4:44 thing, and he said it was Psalm 44:4. - "You are my King and my God who decrees victories for Jacob".. Of course we weren't the only people seeing the 4:44. We have had similar experiences with 3:33 in the past. I was awakened for the past several mornings at 5:00. I haven't figured that one out yet. This morning, the Lord gave me Psalm 111. Undoubtedly, I'm sure I will be seeing 1:11 a lot over the next few weeks. In Christ, Jan

From: Dave

Hi Sandy. I just read your e-mail on the numbers 11:11 and 7:11. I was very encouraged by it. You asked us to share stories about ways God speaks to us. I have a couple for you.

Almost a year ago I was having a week where I kept waking up in the middle of the night. The first few times it happened I glanced at the clock and it was around 4:20am. When it got to be about the 4th or 5th night of this I began to get slightly frustrated by it. In the back of my mind I was thinking that God may want me to spend some time with Him but I was resisting this possibility. Finally on the last night this happened, I got up out of bed and stood up and asked the Lord. "Are you trying to tell me something?". Immediately a song came to mind. It was based on a scripture-memory tape that I hadn't heard in years.

The words were "My son pay attention to my words, incline thine ear to my sayings...." I figured that the time on the clock was just a coincidence and the Lord was just waking me up to tell me something. I went downstairs and just decided to try to find this scripture. I knew it was in Proverbs so on a whim I turned to Proverbs 4:20 (this was the time on the clock when I woke up this night). The scripture He spoke to me was in this exact verse.

The other story related to numbers and words is related to a tornado that hit the Cincinnati area. This tornado occurred on April 9th, 1999. The central point of where the devastation occurred was in Blue Ash, a suburb to the north of Cincinnati. A few days after this tornado hit I felt the Lord was telling me that the date of this tornado had significance as well as the area where it hit. I started looking up the meanings of all of these numbers and words.

April is the 4th month. Number 4 = universal or worldwide 9= judgement (but can also represent finality)

Then I checked out the biblical meanings of the words BLUE ASH

BLUE= Of heaven or from heaven ASH= Destruction or devastation

Now this was getting more strange by the minute. I didn't share this with anyone until a friend called me. She said she had driven through the area hit by the tornado and my name came to her mind. I then proceeded to share this information with her. She then said she also believed that the Lord was telling her that this date was significant. She asked me if I knew that this tornado hit on the 99th day of 1999. This was an incredible coincidence (or was it?). Sure enough April 9th was the 99th day of the year 1999.

That day I was driving into work. I asked the Lord if He wanted me to share all of this with one of my pastors (the one who oversees the prayer ministry). Then the Lord gave me a scripture in response to my question "If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."

When I looked up this verse in 2 Chronicles 7:14 I noticed the preceding verses starting with verse 13 "When I shut up the heavens so there is no rain, or command locusts to devour the land or send a plague among my people,..." I realized that God did indeed allow this to take place.

I just recently got e-mail. I didn't realize what I was missing. I have just started reading the elijah List and have been enjoying it. Thanks for sharing . -Diane C.

Hi Sandy ...I was so touched by you letter on timing. I’ve noticed others have been having the same thing happen to them...for me its been the numbers 420. I wake up at 420..radio 420 TV 420 this has been happening so often I keep asking lord what does this mean...in the world among the teens this means time to get high. Also its

Hitlers birthday.. Yuk.. And the day these children in Colorado were killed in their school ...so I asked again why this number Lord...the number 4 means worldwide.. 2 means witness.. But i could find no meaning for the 0... But i never thought of looking up the scriptures...i have been reading Matt, Mark, Luke, and John the last few weeks...i found many answers there in the word in Matt. They left their nets and followed Him... In Mark. Seed was sown in good ground and they reaped 30..60...100 fold.. Lukes the peoples eyes were on Him...and in John it was about worship...after reading your letter. I walked into my dinning room where i have a grandfather clock...I does not run as its very loud ii glanced up at it...its hands were on 420...frozen there in time...i thank the Lord for your letter and the way I look at time ...I am making a major move to the south pacific, after waiting almost 15 years thinking about things ill leave behind...I am reminded of leaving the nets and following Him.....thanks again for sharing be blessed. Jesus in me loves you. Carol

555

From: Jim

Sandy, I enjoyed your message this am on the Elijah List. You asked us to write if we had similar experiences. Just yesterday I was meeting a business associate who was late (I thought). He called me on my cell phone and I noticed that the clock in the car was at 1:11. I was jolted a little when I saw it, as if the Holy Spirit were saying "Look at that!"

What I understood at the time was that God was hinting to me that He was in control of this business relationship. I saw it as a representation in number form of the Holy Trinity: God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

This had happened to me several times last year when we were going through a particularly difficult time. I would have the alarm clock set for 6 am, but I would wake up at 5:55 with a quickening in my heart. Since 5 was symbolic for "grace," I felt that God was speaking to me in a very indirect and gentle way the word which says "Grace be multiplied to you" and "my grace is sufficient for you".

I thought it was neat about seeing the numerals as scripture references. I'll keep that in mind for future reference.

Yesterday, God spoke to me in another way that was really "cool" as my 13 year old might say. I am going to another city to preach and prophesy on Friday night. The minister there, who invited me, was dialing her phone yesterday to try to reach someone at city hall in her town, and she somehow got me instead. She said that she knew that she dialed the right number and did not dial an area code, but she was connected to me anyway.

What I sensed at that point was that God was confirming what I was hearing for a message for Friday night by having that happen. In other words, the word will be effective for that city. Let me know if you sense anything else that I am not seeing. Be blessed. Sincerely, Jim

Hi Sandy,

I wanted to tell you what happened while I was reading your quickened word this morning.

My husband was on the phone checking our pretty much non-existent bank account, when he finished with the press 1 press 2 etc, he hung up and the phone rang. There was no one on the line and he paused to listen and he said he was hearing music, then all of a sudden a customer service rep came on from the bank and wanted to know how she could help and he said I didn't call you, you called me. Anyway here I am reading the part of your letter that says PAY DAY IS COMING, at the exact time she is saying may I help you and I get that quickened word feeling, you know the one. I knew instantly this was not a mistake call that God wanted me to really pay attention to what you were writing in that part of the letter. All the while knowing in my spirit that it was intended for this moment and this hour!!!! Gary and I have had so many words about great wealth and inheritance coming our way, just recently a new one from Timothy Sherman. And also just this passed three weeks we have both had major breakthroughs with healing and emotions and inner issues, supernatural from God. And I have had the 11 11 thing happening again along with 555 and 333 and 222. It is so wonderful how God works in our lives with little things like numbers and cards and phone calls. He truly is in everything around us because He IS EVERYTHING AROUND US!!!! This truly is the time for suddenly'!!! And Hope becoming the tree of Life. I like this fruit!!!

Lovingly and Many Blessings to You and Yours on this resurrection weekend!!!!

From Sean

I have had lots of experiences with this thing. I used to get 5:55 all the time, then everything was always 55 minutes after the hour. Then I would get 3:33 (am and pm). 5 has always been a number for Grace with me.

Another thing that is weird is my windshield wipers. After going through a grievous time in my life, full of pain, and then sin, I was driving in my car. I was crying, and aching. I asked God to please just come and wash me. My wipers cycled on my windshield. I felt the presence of the Lord. Then my back ones went. He spoke to me and told me He was wiping away the sin in my past, and cleansing me as I go forward. Periodically, when I am praying, my wipers will go! I have even had it checked and such, because I didn't want to be disappointed!! It hadn't happen in a long time, until yesterday. It usually accompanies ministry, where God will visit with me, and take me through some kind of healing, or deliverance. Sometimes it is just fellowship. It is our special "signal". Trust me, I need all I can get!!!!

I was encouraged by your post, and can relate. It seems seasonal with me. God Bless

you, Sean

From: Geoff

One day me and a group of intercessors were down on riverfront park. There was due to be a concert the next day and an outreach involving some of the local churches there. As you probably know 5 is the number of grace. I had recently had a tremendous grace experience so it was even more significant to me at the time. Anyway we were praying and I noticed that it was 5:55 and coming up to 5:55 and 55 seconds. I gathered everyone together and explained the 5:55 thing and got everyone to agree for an amazing move of grace to sweep over the city. As it got to 55 seconds we all agreed. As it hit 55 seconds we just waited. As we waited a gentle breeze began to blow. Eventually it turned into a strong wind. It was a pretty amazing experience but you had to be there obviously.

1234

From: David

I enjoyed the e mail about the numbers and the clocks . I recently had a time where i kept seeing the number 12:34 a lot i didn’t know what or if it meant anything. But i would look at my car clock and it would be 12:34 or i would go to bed and look across the room and it would be on 12:34 and so on. I thought maybe it was a countup as compared to a countdown . A countup to what i dont know. I didn’t think about it maybe being connected to a scripture. If you have any idea on this i would like to know. Thanks.

David

From Amy:

The other clock time I see often is 12:34. I guess I should start asking the Lord what this means--next time it comes up I'll do exactly that and let you know how He answers. Thanks for sharing. God with you, amy

From: Jytte

My 2 youngest children are 9 and 10. My 10 year old was born on 7/11/90 and my daughter was born on 8/7/91 and weighed 7 lbs 11 ozs. That always struck me as funny, that Michael was born on 7/11 and Jennifer weighed 7#11oz. I use to say 'and there is a store in WI called 7/11'. Also, both of these kids, esp Michael would always watch the clock, and when it turned 12:34 he would tell me, or when it was 11:11 or 2:22 or even if it was 8:44 he would say 8-4=4. He would make math problems out of every time and I remember at the time it always seemed to be a good number to use. This was like a game to him for at least a year...funny thing Michael means "Who is like God" I enjoyed the Word you sent. Jytte

The time I notice on my clock in the bedroom is 10:01 I felt like it was God saying keep your eye straight ahead do note look to the left or right but to me. The Ones are my hands one the side of my eyes and the 0's are my eyes looking straight ahead.

~~~~~~~~~~

From: Chrysan

Sandy,

I read your prophetic story that was posted on the Elijah List. I wanted to let you know how much it blessed me!

I am a worship leader at an Assembly of God Church in Yorktown, Virginia where my father has been the senior pastor for 14 years. The church has great purposes to bring the Lord glory at a world wide level, however the last 7 years have been years of serious testing. The glory of the Lord is powerful in the church and we know we are moments away from a major breakthrough. I will not go into the details here for the story is long. Suffice to say the entire staff has lost most everything they owned and have had to take jobs outside of the church in addition to their full time church duties because the church finances have gotten very tight. When we started to pursue revival over 2/3rd's of the church left because they felt we didn't need so much repentance and talk about holiness. We have a small remnant left after the pruning and the Lord is about to use these people in a great way.

However, our pastor has consistently seen 10:01 at gas stations, on grocery receipts, clocks, watches, ect. for years now. It has really "bugged" him. He has sought the Lord on the meaning of 10:01. I have sent him your prophetic story and I have asked him to write the story of 10:01. I myself have seen 11:11 for years. I never knew what it meant but I have seen 11:11 everywhere. My checkbook has even had a balance of $11.11 some weeks. This has been going on for about as long as our pastor has seen 10:01. We are very number conscious as we know the Lord speaks through numbers. The other number I have seen, but not as regularily is 1:11 but it hasn't been near as frequent as 11:11.

Your prophetic word almost made me jump out of my skin. I really thought I was going crazy and somehow had trained my mind to notice these things. If you have any scriptural insight or other stories about 10:01 if you could let me know about them because our pastor is in need of encouragement right now. After 14 years of ministry, ridicule from the religious crowd and losing all that he has, he has been the last staff member to take a full time job over 50 miles away from his home only 3 weeks ago as we are waiting for the delivering hand of the Lord.

[27] Responses from Readers: Numbers Are Quickened To Other Reference Points

BIRTHDAY’S

NOTE FROM SANDY: I was touched that the Lord would quicken so many people’s birthdays to their eyes and hearts. Although several were not sure what the Lord was saying to them, I feel it is a loving sign from their Heavenly Father Who is saying, "From the day you were born, My eye has always been upon you. You have never left My heart, and you are dear to Me!"

Dear Sandy:

I appreciated this word today because today is my birthday. Instead of feeling at peace I have been battling discouragement all day . The suddenlies message encouraged me. But part of what struck me about this has to do with numbers as you pointed out. Today I am 44, my mother was 22 when she had me and she is now 66. I can't say that I know what the significance of this is or if it has any significance at all but it has been on my mind as well today so because of it I was really drawn into your post.

Blessings,

Cindy

From: Cheryl

Dear Sandy,

I saw your article on the Elijah List E-mail that I receive about 711 and couldn't believe it. The Lord has been speaking those numbers to me for a couple of years. I felt like for me it meant perfect mercy. Since it's also my birthday date, my husband has even learned to say Happy Birthday when he looks at the clock in the morning and it has that time, haha. I've had many special days from the Lord and usually expect to receive something special from him on the days that I inadvertently notice it. Now I know that it also means other things from reading your article. I will be looking for your book to read about the different ways that God speaks and know that it will be very helpful. Sincerely, Cheryl

From: Carol

Aloha Sandy, I am a Spirit-filled sister in the Lord. When I opened the Elijalist email tonight, I about fell off my chair seeing all of the 11:11's. My birthday is 11:11 and the Lord has been doing the same things with me for quite a few years now. I noticed it first when I would do something, like witness to someone or have a heart cry about something, I would catch the digital clock somewhere and know that God was pleased and/or what I said or did, or where I was, was "right on".

As I was cautious in sharing this, not wanting to be "goofy" about this, someone told me that they had a "number thing" with the Lord also. I was greatly relieved.

So, I have been enjoying this confirmation from the Lord a lot. As it is also my birthday, I have felt doubly blessed.

I will digest your email a bit more tomorrow to see what specifically is in it for me.......lots, I would imagine. Praise the Lord!!!

Just for fun, we have a tradition in our family that when someone's birthday digits come up on a clock, we sing Happy Birthday to them (that could be 2 birthdays in one day if you stay up late enough). It's fun to hear often "Hey, Mom, it's your birthday" or "Hey, Mom, it's 11:11" and hear my kids sing to me. And they remind me when it's their "birthday" also. We also say, "It's almost my birthday" when it's a minute or two before the digit changes to the exact time, representing someone's birthday. We do this wherever we are, not just at home. Others have gotten a real kick out of our personally unique tradition. Thank you for the word tonight. God bless you. Carol

From Judy

I enjoyed your article. I have over the years looked at the clock 10:19 which also happens to be my birthday. The Lord has always quickened to me Luke Behold I give you power . . . . and that is where I know I flow is taking authority over the powers of darkness.

I get weak at times and forget, but after your article today, I will closely pay attention and remember to do warfare.

Blessings, Judy

From: Jean

Dear Sandy,

I just finished re-reading your prophetic story regarding 11:11 and God's timing and I feel compelled to write you a note for you "fed" me real good this morning!

For many years I have been seeing on clocks everywhere (even stopped clocks) 11:17. This is my firstborn's date of birth. I began seeing the numbers during her last year of high school (1987) She has been on a journey since then which led her to receive the Lord and then stray far from Him. After my first reading of your message this morning, I spent time working around my house wondering if 11:17 has been a scripture all these years, but couldn't hear from the Lord on it. I was standing in the middle of my kitchen trying to decide what to do next and thought "I have about 1/2 hr. left to get the house straightened up, what time will that be?" I turned around to look at the clock on the microwave and.....11:17!! I knew the Lord wanted me to tell you about it!

Also, several years ago the Lord reminded me of something he had changed in my life and said "remember when that used to bother you, then suddenly....." He was showing me how suddenly things can change and I have been sensing we are moving into a season of suddenlies.

Last of all I want to tell you that in your prophetic word the Lord said "with each new day, new land is emerging". Last night on the way home from an 8 hr. trip with my husband, we passed a car dealership in the town of Cortland, NY. This building had big light-up letters across the top saying CORTLAND CHEVROLET - but the only letters that were lit were LAND. It hit my spirit and I knew it was important.

So Sandy, thanks for gathering the good food and sharing it with me this morning. Even though I don't have a lot of understanding of specifics, I am certainly encouraged.

In Abba's arms, Jean

From Donita

Dear Sandy: Thank you for sharing this story! After reading this, something inside of me triggered! For several months, my eyes were always drawn to a clock that said 8:19. I kept passing this off, because this is my birthday. I wasn't understanding why I always looked at the clock, or a watch, etc. and it always said 8:19. I thought this was rather strange! I never thought to ask the Lord why I always seemed to be drawn to a clock that said 8:19. The Lord was also talking to me about the number "7" for several months about four years ago. I read and researched references in the bible having to do with the number 7. So now after I have read your story, my next question to the Lord is, Lord, what Chapter in the bible can I find 8:19 and what are you saying to me or to the church? Perhaps the Lord is saying 8:19 (my birthday) and the number 7 is indicating completion?? I don't know, but I know who knows, and that is our Lord J esus Christ! Now, I know to press into the Lord for more answers! God Bless you and thanks for sharing this! I feel as if the Lord has linked something in my spirit that I was not understanding, and maybe at the time, I wasn't suppose to, until NOW. God Bless, Donita

Dear Sandy, I really enjoyed your article on 11:11. I have a friend who a few years back has dreamed 11:11 and I am sure she will be e-mailing you about her experience. However, the reason I am responding is that for probably the past 8 years, I have seen 10:13 almost every time I look at the clock. I have searched the scriptures for every place that I can find 10:13 Since my birthday is 10/13 I have paid particular attention to this, however I am really not sure if It means a whole lot or not. Is there any insight you may have on this. (Romans 10:13 says anyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.) Perhaps this speaks of the great harvest and the gathering. If you have anything to share with me I would greatly appreciate hearing from you. Thanks so much. Mary

TRANSITION

From: "Lloyd Phillips"

To: "THE AP LIST

I wanted to write a short response to the 11:11 post as it has come up a number of times. I thought Joni's post on "The Leaven! The Leaven!" was quite enlightening. It seems a lot of the communication which the Holy Spirit is bringing across the body of Christ is in fact due to the season which we are now entering. I believe it all centers around the 444 and 222 revelations, Id' like to comment on them, but can not at this time. I believe these number revelations are part of His unveiling of secret things, bigger than any of us could quite comprehend yet it is needful that the Lord act in order to bring to pass His will. Deut. 29:29 "The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but those things which are revealed belong to us and to our children forever...

The 11:11 has been showing up for a time, and more frequently with a number of people. The number 11 it's self is a number which is imperfect, a transitional number, if you will. Between 10, ordinal perfection/ divine order, and 12, governmental order/ divine government. I call it a "bridge" number. It is the number representing the prophetic, which is always a bridge to get us from where we are to where the Lord is directing. Since the number is occurring twice in a row the biblical principle of confirmation comes into play meaning that the subject matter will surely be brought to pass - Gen 41:32 "And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass".

Recently this number was brought to my attention by a friend who has been given it a number of times recently. She had prayed about it and felt the Lord gave her Duet 11:11 "but the land which you cross over to possess is a land of hills and valleys, which drinks water from the rain of heaven".

With the words "cross over", this verse witnessed to me since 11 is a bridge word. Also the prophetic usually points a direction, which this verse certainly does. I believe it is important to keep in mind with all these signs that we are being shown only a part, and each person is wise to seek council and input (as many are), as to what in their own life the Lord is pointing them towards, and which direction is He pointing them to the "land which drinks water from the rain of heaven". As Joni said - "We ALL need to get the PURE WORD, the UNLEAVENED WORD for ourselves". Blessings, your fellow laborer, Lloyd

Dear Sandy,

I just wanted to thank you for sharing this...and how very "timely" it is!

My life, and those of many of my family and friends are, and have been, in a time of transition. For some, the time of transition has been so long and so painful, that hope almost vanished.

My husband and I are churchless at present. We firmly believe God moved us out of this church for His Purposes...in our lives and in the world around us. It has been a painful time...leaving the old, and leaving loved ones, always is! And not knowing what God has for our future can be fearful...we have had to get our eyes back on Jesus over and over again. We both sensed that we are being stretched according to God's purposes for us, and glory in that He sees something about us worth stretching...although, even what He sees worth stretching has nothing to do with us, but is all of Him! It is so good to hear that this time of transition may be coming to a close, and that this is a time of "suddenlies!"

Yesterday, John and I got our first "suddenly", and we are still wondering if it is true. Without going into details, something that could have destroyed us individually and in our marriage has been hanging over our heads for 18 long years. It was sent by satan to destroy us, but we kept our eyes on Him who can keep us through all things...and He has...kept us through all things. To God Be The Glory!!! We learned yesterday that this awful thing has probably been lifted away...our transition to freedom from this has begun! HALLELUJAH!

We have been in transition for a season...as far as our ministry for the Lord is concerned, and the waiting has been arduous, to say the least! Just as Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the third day...we have entered into the third day, and the SON is about to rise on our circumstances!!!!

Weeping may endure for a night, but joy truely doth come in the morning!...and there is always a morning...Jesus made it so! Amen?

Love in Christ,

Rose

Dear Sandy,

What a wonderful email you wrote on timing. And so perfect in this season of Resurrection! It blessed my heart and soul, especially since I have been in transition (among many others, I'm sure,) and things are beginning to open for me that I'd not had any thought about. Enjoy this Easter season.

Thanks for sharing.

Your word on timing and suddenly's is so meaning full to me! I'm printing it out so I can ponder it more. We have been in transition for 1 1/2 years. And God told me last summer it would be suddenly.

Thanks

From: Helen

Sandy, this word about the suddenlies is so appropriate. Andy Blythe a wonderful, prophetic teacher who comes to my woman’s aglow is saying just about the same thing. Boy, did I need to hear this tonight. I just got home from singing at a little Baptist church right by my house. Anyway, this word is so perfect for me and my husband. We need some suddenlies and we are in this season of transition. I feel like we are on a trapeze and do not know where we are going to land.

God bless. Helen

From Terry

Dear Sandy, I want you to know that your writing on transition on the Elijah List was ON TIME for me! You have no idea how it spoke into our situation. A few months ago God called my husband and I to Stirling in Scotland to pioneer a work. He called us out of a church where we had been two of the main pillars for 30 years. We had been in transition for some time and now we were being prodded and poked out of the nest, it was a most devastating time for us until we realized what God was doing. We were out on the ledge, we jumped off and found ourselves soaring like an eagle, it was exhilarating! We didn't know where we were going to land, we just knew God has his hand on us and was carrying us on the thermals of His Spirit! We didn't know if we would land splat on the ground. We had given up everything, our house, our church, our leadership positions, our jobs, our lifes work. We landed in Stirling where we knew no-one and had nothing, to pioneer a work here, in a place that is known to be so hard to plant churches, many have given up and gone again. So we are here 'digging' in the ditch. It is hard. We lack support. We lack finance. But we KNOW God has put us here.

We had a prophetic conference at the beginning to launch us. Significant things were said. This is a strategic time and a strategic place. God has Stirling on His agenda. God is putting us alongside people who are also pastoring in the area and relationships are forming, we know that unity is on His heart. Thank you for Jude 24.

Now we are waiting for His SUDDENLY. My screensaver has the words running across it, This is a new day, see what God will do today! and every day I look at that, and am expectant of what God will do TODAY. We know that He will be on time. Bless you. Terry and June

Hi Sandy, Have you ever seen the old movie called "The Greatest Show on Earth" with Charlton Heston? It's has two parts and it is long, but you'll see the bride, and her transition on the high wire. Watch who's heart she carries in the end, and who's passion within her moves her. Watch with HIS eyes..... Sincerely, Yvonne

Dear Sandy,

Thank you for your encouraging word. You're right, timing is everything - and the timing of my receiving this word could not have been better. I can totally relate to the trapeze artist in midair ~ not knowing where I will land. Trusting the Father, and trying hard to wait patiently for all that has been promised, but yet looks so far off, if not impossible.

Thank you for the encouragement ~ you are making a difference :)

Sandy:

I can't thank you enough for gathering food for all us people out here on the internet. What a blessing. Your words are so synchronous with what God's doing in my life. I've been on Divine hold for 10 years, almost to the month. But wonderful words are coming through people like Dick Mills (if you know him) and others, words that are converging hope on my life. And, of course, the oppression is greater than ever...even while hope increases--a sure sign of the last moments before dawn!

Thanks so much, sis! 7:11 to ya. --

SUDDENLIES

From: Julie

Sandy,

I have been receiving the Elijah List for at least 1 yr. I have never written or responded to any of them. Tonight as I read your greatly encouraging letter, God has ministered to me. (Not that He doesn't other times, just this one was more personal.)

Yesterday a new member of our church came to ask a few questions and seek direction for her new walk with God. I had been up praying for hours before she arrived (not just for her, my normal prayer time) and just before she arrived I asked God to let me share only what needed to be shared. I did share some of my past experiences that related to her situation. These were concerning being married to an alcoholic and being in abusive situations. At the end I was testifying to where God has brought my husband and I. We will be married 22 years this summer. I laughingly said, "It was 11 years of hell, then 11 years of better, but the next will be awesome." Thus 11/11.

As I read your letter I understood how prophetic those words were. I have had serious doubts recently about whether my husband will ever join me AT church. He has been saved for 11 years now. He prays and is a totally different man than he was. He just has no conviction to GROW. God has promised me many things. Not just with my husband but in other areas as well. I finally let go of them all. I decided as long as I could seek His face and sit in His presence, nothing else mattered. When I finally reached this place, one by one He is fulfilling his promises. I played piano and led worship for about 11 yrs. I have not played until recently for about 4 yr. SUDDENLY I get a call 10 min. before time for intercessory prayer and was asked to lead the prayer warriors in intercessory praise. Go figure! God is faithful. I no longer even desired to play. It was really difficult, but God played through me. In one week's time the passion to play for the King is so strong. Through the letter you shared I see the significance of the years!!! Through the encouragement at the end of "Why so long?" I am greatly encouraged.

The mention of the flood waters: I have had a recurring dream for many years now. It involves flood waters. I never understood until recently exactly what God was saying. In the dream I was always calm and confident in the Lord, but the people around me were not. They were then being swept away in the flood waters and I seemingly walked or stood above the waters. I would keep shouting to the people to see the Lord, but they could not even hear me. They would not pay attention to me. I know that the flood waters will recede and the inheritance is sure for those who have looked to God and God only. Not ministry, not security in marriages or finances or anything else. But willingly have said it does not matter if I can sit in His presence.

Finally, in the past few months God returned me to some old "Words" given to myself and my husband 11 yrs ago in 1990. One word to me spoke of King Hezekiah. I reread all about his life. I found it interesting that you also mention him and the verses in Chronicles referenced!

Thank you for your obedience.

Julie

Dear Sandy:

I was so very encouraged by you word. The Lord has been reminding me that I have been storing up treasure in my heavenly bank account. The enemy has been giving me practice at rebuking the tormentors and running to God about the deposit in my earthly bank account. I've petitioned the Lord for a withdrawal from heaven to meet the needs of my family.

His response has been the promise of the bread upon the water...then an intercessory leader doing an expanded teaching on that scripture.

Last night my pastor was talking about thinking about something and then almost immediately it happened. Immediately, the Lord quickened me to remember what He had taught me about the suddenlies of the Lord: "Those who wait upon the Lord will receive the suddenlies of God." (Our ministry is Open Door House of Prayer...we spend a lot of time waiting on the Lord!!)

This morning as I was spending time with the Lord, I kept feeling the urge to check my e-mail. I shooed the thought away thinking that it was just me, because I had just had time for a quick down-load scan yesterday. Then, as the though persisted I felt that the Lord had a message for me in the e-mail.

Your Elijah List post was the first one I opened (and because of the title the whispering voice of skepticism tried to get me just to do a scan delete---thank God, the Holy Spirit's voice is so sweet and encouraging). You referred to the suddenlies of God!!.

As I read your word I began to weep as the Holy Spirit ministered to me. OH I LOVE YOU LORD!! Now I am writing this long e-mail to someone I don't know!

When I finished reading your Elijah List post, I looked at the computer clock and it read 10:15. I asked the Lord and got Joshua 10:15. On my way to look up the scripture, I thought is that the place where the sun and the moon stood still until the enemy was defeated?

Well, Joshua 10:15 is after that and before the five kings necks were stepped on. I asked the Lord am I tried to pull something out here in my own mind???

Joshua 10:15 Then Joshua and all Israel with him returned to the camp to Gilgal.

Gilgal means wheel...the root word means wheel in heaven, whirlwind, stir up dust. Immediately, Ezekiel 1 comes to mind. I had a back ground on my desktop for several weeks with a pocket watch that says "God has all the time (1:04). My son changed it, but I had to change it back just now!!

Ezekiel 1:4 And as I looked, behold, a storm wind (kjv--whirlwind) was coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing forth continually and a bright light around it, and in its midst something like glowing metal in the midst of the fire.

So...God's up to stuff...I don't know why I had to share this with you. But here it is.

God Bless you. Susan

Dear Sandy, After reading your "Suddenlies" on the Elijah List, I was caught by your reference to 2 Chron 29:35-36.

Based on that same chapter, God had me make a prophetic prayer journey over New Years weekend to St. Augustine, FL. I just thought you would enjoy reading what the Lord did the first day of the first month of the new millennium (2 Chron 29:17). I, too, anxiously await the fulfillment of His "Suddenlies", perhaps this Pentecost (11:11!!!)

The Lord provided a way for me and another intercessor to go to St. Augustine, which is the oldest city in the U.S. We actually had a couple of 'assignments', one of which was sanctifying the temple according to 2 Chron 29.

During December 2000, the Lord impressed me with these scriptures : 2 Chron 29:10 NKJ, "Now it is in my (King Hezekiah’s) heart to make a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that His fierce wrath may turn away from us." Verse15 says the King was to gather the brethren, sanctify themselves, and at the words of the Lord, to cleanse the house of the Lord. In verse 16 they removed the debris they found in the temple. Verse 17 says "Now they began to sanctify on the first day of the first month…". This exploded in my spirit for the first day of the first month of the next millennium was Jan 1, 2001. This seemed of monumental importance in God's order of things.

Once we arrived in St. Augustine, we spent the last two days of the year 2000 ‘removing debris’ (vs 16) as we went around the city repenting for everything the Lord brought to our attention. Not only were there obvious locations in the natural, such as the slave auction site in the square overlooked by the first Catholic church, the Indian cemetery, the fort, but word associations like a tractor trailer owned by Gay, etc. Even three signers of the Declaration of Independence were held prisoner at the fort, which represented our legal system and government being held captive. Actually, I can’t think of anything we didn’t eventually repent of, knowing it was applicable to the entire nation, since this city was like the gate to the nation. After asking the Lord if doing this in our month of January would apply, even though the Jewish calendar is different from ours, He responded yes by putting a Nissan car dealership right in front of us. The first month of the Jewish year is Nissan!

Then at the breaking of the dawn of the first day of the new Millennium, we were at the gate, worshiping and declaring the Kingdom of God. We threw open the gates of the city, and the nation, to the lordship of Jesus, and welcomed Holy Spirit. This was in response to Chuck Pierce's word at the Oct. 2000 Concert of Prayer in Okla City. God had spoken through Chuck that He would judge us state by state based upon how Holy Spirit was welcomed in an area, as well as on our complacency. We blew our shofars and waved our prophetic flags in declaration of the things God had us praying, and calling forth the new Apostolic leadership for the end-time remnant to be anointed with a fresh Pentecost experience of Belief and empowerment. Here is your 11:11!!!!! While we were doing this, the cleanup crew came by with their blowers, removing the debris from the walk and street! I love the way God confirms things. We did all God put in our hearts to do until we felt released.

We went back to the motel to clean up and check out. While bathing I was asking the Lord if we had done all He wanted us to do to sanctify the temple. When I dressed, I had to switch my underwear to white, but didn't think any more about it at the time. Then I decided to anoint myself with oil, since we are actually the temple of the Holy Spirit, and dedicate myself to Him. When I did, the oil burned my face so badly that all I could do was try to wash it off. Nothing helped until I smeared my eye-makeup remover all over my face. What a relief! As we dressed, I still didn't realize God had started another step of the process that we thought was completed. We checked out of the motel and planned to shop briefly before starting home.

He guided us into an art gallery, to a huge bell labeled "Bulls-eye Bell", that we were to buy. We took it back to the city gate and rang it three times to call the temple of God into sanctification. Since the temple is within us, I later asked the Lord for confirmation of this. He showed me 2 Chron 29:25 where Hezekiah stationed Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals in his sanctifying process. Unger's Bible Dictionary says cymbals were made into bells by putting more curve in them. It was later that the Lord showed us how He had prepared us as His Levites, without our even realizing, by having us freshly bathe and be anointed, and change clothes for the holy work, before we could take the last step of sanctifying the temple. How He amazes me.

In Unger’s Bible Dictionary, the last definition of bell says it "predicted the coming of a millennial age when all things, even to the lowest, should be sanctified to God."

The original assignment that took us to St. Augustine in the first place was to drive through the barrel of the gun formed by the state of Florida. The gun points to the Bay of the Holy Spirit, (the original name of Mobile Bay), and wants to kill what God wants to birth here. This meant driving eastward from Mobile, along Interstate 10 to the waterfront in Jacksonville, FL. We were to clean the barrel of the gun along the way. Jacksonville is where the hammer would hit the firing end of a bullet, which looks like a small bulls-eye. When we walked back from the beach, the Lord showed us how the parking lot turnaround area formed a 'bulls-eye' out of pavement, curbing and the little island the cars circled around. We thanked Him for this sign that we were at the right place and hitting the mark.

The next step was to disarm the gun by pulling the pin on which the hammer pivoted so it couldn't fire anymore. The pin was in St. Augustine, just below Jacksonville. Through our search, the Lord showed us the Bridge of Lions represented the pin. It connected the Matanza Island (Matanza means killing) with the mainland. The street name on the mainland that crossed the bridge was King Street. It was as though the people of God cannot be the priests and kings unto the Lord that they are called to be until the connection is broken with killing and the distortion of God's value of Life. The Lions of Judah must rise up and lead the way with worship in the battle for Resurrection Life in God's people. Again that would be your 11:11. It is the revelation of Jesus' resurrection to the disciples which resulted in them BELIEVING and being empowered for God's purposes.

May this Pentecost bring a new empowerment to the remnant to believe and carry His glory and fulfill His purposes of divine order. SUDDENLY !!!!!

From: Michele

You see I had a child who was placed for adoption. God has used many signs to confirm over the years that He had not forgotten about the lost son. I would often be woken up at 6:23 and see the clock at that time, which was his time of birth, and also I would see the clock at 11:26, which is the date of his birth, November 26. Even when I felt like God was putting this off, I would see those numbers and know that God was letting me know in language I understood that He knew and was listening. My other children were born on the 9th, and the 17th of the month and these added together are the 26th, the day my son was born on. I believe God wanted me to know that He remembered that the children were a set meant to be together. I am standing in faith that as this new season is ushered in that God's suddenlies will be preformed in this situation, so that the fulfillment of God's promise to bring him back is restored.

Hi Sandy,

Today the Lord was showing me much of me being so little in Him so immensely enormous and how caring he is of me. I saw myself as a little chick so tiny I fit on 1/3 of his extended finger and it was like a dance floor to me. I suddenly zoomed in and saw the lines that would make up a finger print to be ridges I could slide up and over. So your story of falling and him scooping you up into his hand feeding and providing enjoyment in His Being gave you life meant so much to me.

And the section on the suddenlies. I use to ask him how long Lord? Why? Then I stopped as I just needed to trust instead. You did renew hope in me as I still cry within and this has given me hope again with the words suddenly. Just today I saw a huge figure by the water. I was so low or small I only say the hem and big sandal ...when the rod/staff touched the water a suddenly happened and the water dried up and I was able to walk out of the water on dry ground when I hit the shore line I grew in stature and felt strength come upon me and the ground had life in it, This was a suddenly occurrence. So reading your words today confirmed that which was spoken earlier today to me again giving me life and hope in Him. And all who He is and how big He is , how capable He is and nothing in myself only in Him.

Bless you

Karen

MISC

From Debora

The first time God spoke to me was through two pairs of cows, hours apart from each other but on the same day. I had no ideal what was happening to me. Later I learned of a book called "Types and Symbols". One day, awhile after these things started happening to me, I was at an estate sale. A sign had the numbers largely printed 110. I guessed it was the number of the auction for that day. The numbers went into my spirit. I knew that it was significant but not sure why. Everywhere I went for months and months those numbers showed up. They would be involved with significant events in my life. After each time I would wonder or assume if that was the meaning behind the number's 110. I had looked a couple of times in scripture but didn't find anything that meant anything significant to me at the time. Finally one day I was reading a book that had a scripture in it. Psalms 110 was part of the scripture that was being referred to. It was exactly what God had been trying to tell me. This time the timing was everything. The scripture became revelation to me and made the ministry I was being called into understandable as thought I was looking through God's eyes. And afterwards that number still showed up in significant ways. It was sort of like looking at one of those pictures that look like a lot of waves of colors then your eyes focus in another dimension and you can see crystal clear the picture in a 3 dimensional setting.

Hi Sandy!!

Got your word on "timing" today. And it was just in time! I had recently had an experience with the numbers thing myself. I was at the drive thru at Hardee's and I looked at my clock and it said 2:13 and then she gave me my amount due: $2.13. So I was quickened that God was giving me a scripture about what He had put on my heart, I found it, got it all put together and believing it was for our church--I emailed it to my pastor. But I have not heard anything back from him--so I began to doubt that I was hearing right. So I prayed this week--"God show me that I am really hearing from you and it is not my flesh." And I got my confirmation in scripture, by email and now from your word today. Thank you so much for obeying the Lord. He is so awesome to speak and provide for us today. He cares when no one else does. He is teaching me to be totally dependent upon Him.

I do hope you had a happy birthday. I keep you in my prayers. I am so thankful that God has led me to people to help and encourage me as I learn my the Spirit.

God Bless You!

Love,

Sarah

Dear Sandy,

Bless you for that confirming word. Let me explain. Were you at the Northwest Intercessor's Conf. in March this year? Well, I was there praying with these ladies from my church. They were definitely in travailing prayer. So I asked the Lord, "What is this about?" And I felt impressed that it was "time." All I could hear was "time....time....time." When I feel something so strongly, I always ask for a Scripture to explain it. And the Lord gave me Isaiah 42:13-14:

The Lord shall go forth like a mighty Man

He shall stir up His zeal like a man of war

He shall cry out, yes, shout aloud;

He shall prevail over His enemies.

I have held My peace a long TIME,

I have been still and restrained Myself

Now I will cry like a woman in labor,

I will pant and gasp at once.

And I just knew, it's time, it's time, it's time.

Well, even though I was at the conference, I did not attend a lot of the workshops. So last week a friend gave me Chuck Pierce's tape from 03/09/01 and asked me to transcribe it. Guess what he talked about: TIMING. It's time. Kairos and all that. I was so floored.Like the 7-11's and the 11-11's. I keep hearing "it's time." Yes!

Many blessings to you,

Love,

Earlene

When my daughter was having her first baby my first grandchild God used numbers to show me he was with me and my daughter. It had been a very difficult time in my life and my daughters and I had been praying alot. I realized this at the time of the birth of the baby. The number 7 is Gods number of completeness. I had been concerned about being there for the birth as I am a nurse and my daughter wanted me there for the Birth. I had been working out of town when I got the call that labor had begun. It took me 7 hours to travel by car I arrived at the hospital. she was in Labor for 7 hours. I arrived at the hospital just in time for the delivery. She was in Labor room number 7. Her apartment where she lived was # 7. The birth of the baby was on the 17. I had prayed that there would be a way I could be there for the delivery. I had a job where I traveled most of the time. I know this is not cincidence I know that God was showing me he was with us.

Dear Sandy: This was really sweet. I have to think on it. I no doubt heard the Lord's love. Also, I read your word a second time because often at work I have to scan things. When I read the word a second time I remember that as I was driving to the bus yesterday morning (5:35 am-grin) I was pondering what it meant to be hungry spiritually and how Tommy Tenney in his book "The God Chasers" describes what people do when they are really hungry which is really foreign to most people in the US. I was thinking about how do I respond to my hunger. If I am really hungry what do I do and and how do I satiate it. And then I claimed the promise "Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness for they shall be filled" and remembered that the Lord often satisfied even the physical hunger of multitudes when they were in pursuit of him.

It finally dawned on me that all of your references to 7:11 and 11:11 were a confirmation of that because the Lord was affirming that he heard me and that he would truly satisfiy the hunger of my heart only way a caring father would. He was standing behind his promise because I was standing on it.

What 44, 22, 66 means I don't know. But it did lead me to give ear to your word and maybe it was simply route directions to that. Blessings, Cindy Landry

Dear Sandy, I was so fascinated by your article today on the Elijah List. It's so encouraging when you hear about the Lord speaking to others in numbers, also. People just really can't understand it when you tell them about it, unless its happened to them also.

My family sees 10-23, and has for about 18 months now. It started out with my daughter, who was 12 at the time (and appears to have a prophetic gift). She told me one day, "Mom, every time I look at the clock I see 10:23." I passed it off for awhile, until I began to realize it was continuing in other places. And now we were witnessing it. She would see 10-23 on scoreboards. We would be checking the temperature on the TV weather channel, and she would notice the wind speed would be 10-23 miles an hour. Then when we went on vacation, the cash register in front of us rang up $10.23. It went on so much that my husband, who is the worlds biggest sceptic, had to agree there was something to it.

Then my son began to see it on clocks and computers. Still today we all occasionally will see it. Shortly after all this began, I was earnestly asking the Lord to show me what this meant. One morning He had me turn to Jeremiah 11. It spoke loudly to me because of things going on in our lives at that time. I did not notice until the next morning when the Lord said go back to it---------------at the top of the page was 10:23 and at the bottom of the page in the footnotes, it said 10:23. Isn't the Lord amazing? I wondered if October 23 (10-23) had any significance, but last year it passed with no big events, that I am aware of. But who knows about this year. I just know we keep seeing it. Last night, I saw it again on my little kitchen timer. ha! I just thought you'd like to hear our family "number" story. Thanks for sharing yours. I enjoy your entries on the Elijah List and plan to buy your book today.

Thank you so, Sandy, for sharing all that you did about Timing, Numbers, and Divine Delay.

It was 11 years ago that the Lord first took me to Israel for 1 year as His ambassador. I sold my home, car, and most of my earthly things and went there in July 1990...just 2 days before Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait. I remained there during the build up to and during the Gulf War and was an intercessor/spiritual warrior. I returned to the U.S. in July 1991 and, since that time, there have been many more trips there, as well as to Russia, the Ukraine, Jordan, the Sinai, and Turkey.

One of the first things that happened during my first trip to Israel in 1990 was that my wrist watch stopped at 2 minutes before Midnight! It was very difficult to understand this and most difficult to get a new battery for it. For days and days, I looked at my watch and wondered...never thinking to ask the Lord if this meant anything. After a few weeks of this, someone took me to a jeweler who put a new battery in it and it never caused me any more problems...until almost five years later.

During the summer of 1995, I spent 3 months in Odessa, Ukraine doing spiritual mapping before a crusade was to be held there by a Messianic Jew. My watch stopped again...at 2 minutes until Midnight. It was then that I knew the Lord was trying to get a message to me. Every morning for weeks, it was the first thing that I saw upon awakening...and I just knew that I knew that I had to leave it there until the Lord let me know what this meant. The spiritual opposition was so great against having this crusade...so great, in fact, that less than a week before the dates, the contract for the stadium in which it was to be held had not been signed.

The Lord impressed upon us intercessors/spiritual warriors to persevere and press in because "the time is so short." That was the message! After this, it only took a few minutes and little money to get the battery changed -- again. (One evening, survivors of the Holocaust were honored during the crusade, and many accepted Yeshua [Jesus], as well as many other Jewish People.)

Remember, this is the same wrist watch that I wore in Israel and I never had any problems with it except in Israel and now in Odessa. This is the Lord's message: "The Time Is So Short!"

A few years later, my wrist watch stopped again...at exactly the same time: 2 minutes before Midnight. This time it was at my home in Indiana in the U.S. It was at this time that I realized that the Lord was meaning this message for the U.S., too....and that the Jewish People have to leave and return to Israel...soon!

Confirmation of my watch stopping at 2 minutes before Midnight on three, separate continents over a period of 7 years and its meaning came through a prophetic word from the Lord through a brother in Jesus who sent it out in a pamphlet entitled: "Two Minutes to Midnight!" He is the only one I have shared this with until now.

Never before -- or after -- these three, separate times has my watch stopped... Three is the Lord's perfect number and means "completed." His message to me using my wrist watch is completed: "Time Is So Short!"

Hi Sandy!

The Lord showed me through Luke 11:11 (Just saw this: One is the number of unity. Here are four ones: the trinity and us?) At any rate, the Lord showed me that the fish and bread are spiritual symbols. So when we ask for something spiritual will He give us something like a snake? something demonic. No, of course not! This was such a happy thought that I remember it often.

Blessings and Love,

Val Kosky

From: Barb,

Dear Sandy, Thank you for the word on timing.

The Lord gave me a specific promise out of scripture 16 years ago. He gave me another scripture a couple of years later relevant to that promise. I then started seeing that scriptural address on clocks, several times, until He got my attention to realize it was the scriptural address. Over these years, I have seen that number hundreds of times. It has come to be a loving encouragement to me as I wait for His timing. I have NEVER heard anyone else say what you did. But I am glad you said it. thank you, Barb

Hi Sandy,

I was reading your word on Pay Day and just a few nights ago I had a night vision where I saw a tremendous flood coming. And within the same week I had a dream I was getting on a bus. I saw the member of our worship team (I'm the flute player) and the Lord was at the front of the bus. He looked like Morley Safer (spelling?) on 60 minutes. He said come up her with me in this section and He had a smile on His face. Well, I talked to my friend about he dream and we came up with the symbolism of 60, Isa 60, and the hour. This is the hour.

Something else happened last week. My husband who I have been praying for, for 11 years had a heaven experience. He is an alcoholic and gambler but very successful in business. He was dosing on the couch and I had a tv station on called World Link TV. It is music from all around the world. He said as he was dosing off the music suddenly became awesome and he was standing in heaven. He said it was the most awesome experience and that he wants to go back. He said I was there in a white dress. But you have to know my husband, he is not one to talk about God so this really did something to him. He is one who hangs out with the guys. I am seeing changes in him. Thank you Lord for your faithfulness.

Also, in September the Lord spoke to me "It's a new day what was is now". Blessings, Cheryl

Hi Sandy, Thank you so much for sharing about the "Timing is Everything"; it encouraged me so much. I think you are right about the 11 years when I look back, yes, we have all been through the fire for about that time, I used to count all sorts of things like weeks and months then I just gave up. A few years ago I would enter the new year with great expectancy, this is it Lord. This year I barely crawled into the year and had to fight discouragement alot. But I do believe we have entered the time of the Glory.

I had to go to the bathroom so I grabbed a Morris Cerullo magazine which I had almost thrown away since I do not really follow his ministry. In the first column he told about his call to be a preacher, "I felt the warmth of His Presence surround me, and He enveloped me with His Light. It shone all around around my countenance." Then the Lord quoted to him Isaiah 60:1."Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee." - So I knew the Lord was confirming what He had just spoken to me in prayer as being true.

Then an hour later my friend came to pick me up, we were going to south Florida where she had to work. The minute I got in the car I started telling her what happened, and she gasped and said that morning she dreamt that someone asked her if she had read the Morris Cerullo magazine. {So she knew she had to read it} When we got to the hotel she looked at the magazine and there was no message there for her so I knew the Lord was just confirming again what He told me----That may not mean alot to you, but I can tell you it meant the world to me, I really believe the time is finally here, Jubilee, Harvest, Restoration, the Glory --- everything we have been prepared for, Praise the Lord. Thank you again for sharing.- I tried to get to your web site but it wouldn't come up. Have a blessed weekend. Sincerely, (Mrs.) Channie Gittens

Hi Sandy,

A few years ago I would enter the new year with great expectancy, this is it Lord. This year I barely crawled into the year and had to fight discouragement a lot. But I do believe we have entered the time of the Glory.

This story is not about numbers but I think it is still encouraging. -- Monday morning, April 16th, I read my Kenneth Copeland devotional and he talked about the glory coming upon and affecting our flesh, the kind of power to bring in the end time harvest. Then I went to pray and I sensed the Lord saying the glory is coming, it is here, and I just felt a glorious freedom. {Before the 11 years I was pretty well off, never had to think about finances for one minute}. I felt just like I did way back then when there was no pressure. So I asked the Lord to confirm it so I would know that it was not my senses or wishful thinking. I had to go to the bathroom so I grabbed a Morris Cerullo magazine which I had almost thrown away since I do not really follow his ministry.

Dear Sandy,

April 11 - Saw a Digital Clock in the dream - 11:26 - Heard Hebrews 11:26 (woke up AM) I just knew God was speaking to me powerfully and I couldn't wait to look up the verse. I had been praying fervently for revelation to break through financially.

[By Faith Moses was] Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt; for he looked to the reward. Hebrews 11:26

Love in Christ,

Hello again,

I would like to share something simple and recent God has been sharing with me with numbers and how it relates to my relocation to Hong Kong next year....

I've been to HK about five times and in May it will make it a sixth time. The previous trips have been mission related. This next one is vacation and preparation. This move is an Abraham move and it is one that will put me in the next place for the prophetic call in my life. Well....we all know that the number "8" is the number for "new beginnings". One thing I didn't know was that "8" is a lucky number for the Chinese people. I found this out when I went to a dinner our Chinese school (where I'm taking Chinese) was having. They gave out tickets for door prizes and my ticket had "888". When I told the people at the table (who were Chinese) that my number was "888" they were excited and said "8" was the number of success, good fortune and luck for the Chinese (of course I looked at it from the spiritual aspect). I knew God was saying something, but I was not sure.

Recently, I went to exchange US dollars for HK dollars for my up coming trip to HK in May. As I was observing the writing on the bills, I saw...."July 1st 1997" (which was HK turnover to China) and the register number on the bill's last three numbers were...you got it...888! Then it dawned on me that the Lord is showing me that this is a WHOLE NEW BEGINNING for me. It is something He has ordained and something He is doing. Out of all the HK bills, God used that one to speak to me about new things for me and what He is doing new in Hong Kong and China. I expect to see more of His confirmation this way.

HE TRULY IS AWESOME!

From: Susan

Sandy,

In the 80's I had the number 13 given to me by the Lord. Then the movie came out with 2-13's in it. Desperately Seeking Susan. It had Floor 13 and Room 13 in it. My name is Susan. So, I went to the Bible and looked all the 13s up. The Jews were supposed to die on the 13th day in Esther and instead Haman, their enemy died on the 13th day. What the enemy meant for bad God has turned to the good. Friday 13th is always a good day for me. I also found out that 26 is God's number-13 doubled. I haven't gone through the Bible and read all the 13:13 verses but I will. Your article has prompted me to do so. I don't think I have the full meaning for me yet.

From: Kathy

Dear Sandy

I just couldn't believe it when I read your message on the Elijah List. I have been saved since the seventies and even though I have somewhat gotten used to God doing unusual things, when I started seeing numbers repeatedly on the digital clock in my car, I wasn't sure what to think. I must admit, at first I thought it was just a coincidence-or that I was somehow, subconsciously sensing when to look and catch the double digits...

But after months and months of this-I knew God was up to something-but I'm still not sure what...Maybe you could let me know what you think... My situation is a little different than yours, in that my doubles varied every time I "happened" to catch them.. for instance, I would get-2:22,3:33, 4:44, or 10:10, 11:11, etc.. One time I just "happened" to glance at the clock, as I left my car to go into a store-It read 4:44 - I went in, took no notice of the time while in the store, and as I seated myself in my car, to drive away-The clock read 5:55.

It is still happening, although not as frequently.. What I started to do, was to take that "minute" before the time changed, to pray for my family, and for a while there I was praying quite often...in addition, of course to my regular prayer time every morning. I might as well add, another thing that I think God has instituted to get my attention-is putting cars in front of me with letters that match the initials of family and friends on license plates.

Now I do not scan every license plate that passes me-I don't even think about it, until there is a car directly in front of me and we stop at a light or something. This happens fairly frequently and again I pray for the person whose initials are represented until the car pulls out of my sight. Lastly, something that God used to do all the time-less often now, was have me see people that I thought looked like someone else. At first, I didn't get the point and would just dismiss it. But when it got to be more and more often, and I started to find out that there was something going on with the person I was reminded of-I knew God was at work again and I then prayed for those people too.

Our God is very inventive-Right?

Please let me know if you have any ideas about my repeated numbers-I didn't think of looking for scripture until I read your message...Perhaps on the days I got the Double clock numbers-the numbers did have scriptural meaning...I will have to pay more attention...

Of course-10:10-could be obvious-John 10:10-A well known verse. Well, Sandy, it was fun writing this-I look forward to hearing from you. God Bless!

[28] Grandma Anna’s Revelations with Clock Numbers

A teaching and personal testimony of how God speaks to Anna with clock times

In our born again spirits, the Lord created the ability to hear Him in unusual ways. The world hears Him with natural ears and with natural understanding, but many other hidden ways are available to His own who are pursuing Him with all their heart. He loves to play hide and seek, and I love to find where He is hiding or what He is hiding. I find Him in the most unusual places, and in the most unusual ways when He speaks to me by way of the Holy Spirit. "But the Helper, the HOLY SPIRIT, whom the Father will send in My name, He will TEACH you all things,… " (John 14:26 NKJ) The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the COMMUNION [Gr. fellowship] of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen. (NKJ 2 Corinthians 13:14) [my capitalization]

Here is a fun example. For many years, I have been in the habit of recording the clock time of when I hear the Lord’s voice. One day I was quickened by the Holy Spirit to look up the clock time which corresponded to the numbers of the Hebrew and Greek words in the back of the Strong’s Concordance. I was amazed to find the meaning of the words confirming and adding richness to what I had heard. l skimmed some more recorded clock times in my journal and when one was quickened to me I looked up the meaning in first the Hebrew and then the Greek. Often, I found the Holy Spirit would confirm both meanings, although sometimes it was just one and not the other. Since then, He has quickened many clock times, and I love this additional treasure to my spiritual ears.

About the same time, the Holy Spirit led me to find still another hidden treasure related to the above. I was quickened to look at the scriptures where the clock time definitions of the word first appeared. The theologians call this the Law of First Mention. Yes! Another treasure! Often there is a quickened connection, a sentence or a thought, and even though it’s taken out of context, the Holy Spirit confirms and adds beautiful richness to what I hear.

EXAMPLES:

Here are some recent examples taken from my journal in the last few months.

1. JOURNAL ENTRY: On 11/6/00 page 8919 at 5:36 A.M. I heard, "Ephesians 6:10." "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might." (Ephesians 6:10 KJV) That particular day, I was quickened by the Holy Spirit to look up both the Hebrew and the Greek numbers of the clock time #536 in the Strong’s Concordance..

2. HEBREW MEANING: The Hebrew meaning of the clock time #536 was WEAK AND FEEBLE. That was EXACTLY how I was feeling that day!

3. GREEK MEANING: The Greek meaning of #536 was "firstfruits, persons consecrated to God for all time."

4. SCRIPTURES: I was also quickened to look up the scriptures in the Old Testament as well as the New Testament where #536 was first mentioned. "Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak <536>: O LORD, heal me; for my bones are vexed." (KJV Psalm 6:2) Then I turned to the New Testament scripture where #536 was first used. "Not only that, but we also who have the firstfruits <536> of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, eagerly waiting for the adoption, the redemption of our body." (NKJ Romans 8:23)

5. CONCLUSION: What an amazing picture of how I was feeling that day in my almost 71 year old body. I was greatly encouraged knowing that the Lord had reached down to me by way of the Holy Spirit and was saying "I know exactly how you feel, let Me be your strength."

~~~~~~~

1. JOURNAL ENTRY: On 1/15/01 on page 9021 I wrote that at 12:35 A.M. I heard, "That’s all I needed for Christmas." I hadn’t heard Him say anything to me that connected and I wondered what that was all about. The Holy Spirit quickened me to look up the clock time in both the Hebrew and Greek numbers.

2. HEBREW MEANING: I found the Hebrew meaning of #1235 to be "holy shekel." The Holy Spirit gave me the revelation that the Lord’s life is THE HOLY SHEKEL. At Christmas time, our culture has its priorities on material wealth, spending their "shekels". However, the Holy Spirit wants us to focus on the fact that Jesus Christ is the Holy Shekel who spent Himself for US.

3. GREEK MEANING: I was also quickened to look up the Greek meaning. It meant to be fully awake.

4. SCRIPTURE: The Holy Spirit also wanted me to look up the scripture in the New Testament where #1235 was first used and then I was doubly blessed. "But Peter and those with him were heavy with sleep; and when they were fully awake <1235>, they saw His glory and the two men who stood with Him." (Luke 9:32)

5. PERSONAL AND CORPORATE CONCLUSION: So what did the Holy Spirit teach me? What do I (we) need for Christmas? We need to get the sleep out of our eyes and internalize the painful price our Beloved Jesus paid for us. We need to stir up the intimate flames of very thankful passion for Him so that we may see His glory!

~~~~~~~~

1. JOURNAL ENTRY: On 1/25/01 on page 9020 I wrote in my journal that at 2:09 A.M. I heard, "A stronger anointing is coming by way of zip." This riddled speech gave me a chuckle, saying so much in such a few words. Zip is a software program that sends things much faster than regular email. Material can be sent more quickly, as Zip compacts the data and then the receiver who also has Zip can quickly extract it. By way of the gift of interpretation, I knew the Lord was saying He can say things in fewer words when He uses riddled speech so He will be sending a greater quantity of revelation that way. So, not only will a stronger anointing be coming upon our hearing, but because we also have "Zip," we can extract what He said, or in other words we will have more anointing to interpret it.

2. HEBREW MEANING: Even though I thought I understood all that He meant, the Holy Spirit quickened me to look up the meaning of the clock time of #209 in Hebrew: It meant STRONG. He wanted to confirm the Lord’s message, Yes, there is a STRONGER anointing coming.

3. GREEK MEANING: I also felt led to look up the meaning in the Greek. It meant "No man forbidding him, without hindrances, freely." It was quickened to me that He was adding richness to His "Zip" Word. From this, I knew that I knew, that doors which had been closed were going to open because of this stronger anointing.

4. SCRIPTURE: Then when the Holy Spirit quickened me to read the New Testament scripture where this Greek #209 was first used, everything flowed together beautifully. "Preaching the kingdom of God and teaching the things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ with all confidence, no one forbidding him <209>." (Acts 28:31)

5. PERSONAL CONCLUSION: So with all the above, now I had a more confirming picture. Then the Holy Spirit gave me the revelation that the Lord was speaking of a Daniel anointing - that the Lord liked to play hide and seek clear back to the time of Daniel. "This man Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, has a sharp mind and is filled with divine knowledge and understanding. He can interpret dreams, explain riddles, and solve difficult problems. Call for Daniel, and he will tell you what the writing means." (Daniel 5:12 NLT)

Remember that I heard, "A stronger anointing is coming by way of zip." So how does all this fit together? We will receive the "Zipped" riddles, "unZip" the riddled speech - interpret it, then walk through open doors to teach what we have heard and learned. (Which is what I am doing now - just three months later! Smile.)

6. CORPORATE CONCLUSION: This is also a Word for the body of Christ. The Holy Spirit is going to bring us a stronger anointing than previously. It will come upon us more quickly than we expect and it will come in such a small package that it may not look like much at first. So, because of the quickness and the seeming simplicity of the package, we will not be aware of its powerful contents until we open it up and let our faith expand it within us.

~~~~~~~~

1. JOURNAL ENTRY On page 9039 2/9/01 I wrote that at 5:21 A.M. I heard, "The maze of life." Yes, I thought, - walking through life IS like a maze. (I enjoy the Lord’s way of putting things.) The Holy Spirit quickened me to look up the Hebrew and Greek definitions.

2. HEBREW MEANING: The Hebrew of #521 meant "a cubit - a measure of distance." By way of Holy Spirit revelation, I immediately understood that walking through life is a measure of distance and it is certainly like walking though a maze! Our life is like a confusing network of interconnecting pathways and Christ is our CUBIT. He is the measure by which we walk. What a fun and enriching confirmation to what I had heard.

3. GREEK MEANING: The Greek #521 meant "without instruction." This said to me that in going the distance in our Christian lives, not only is Jesus the measure by which we walk, but when we pray and ask the Father for guidance, the Holy Spirit comes and teaches us how to walk out the guidance we receive. The Word says the Holy Spirit is our teacher and helper. Without His instruction, we will wander aimlessly, going the wrong way at the various intersections in the "maze of life".

4. SCRIPTURE: Then it was quickened to me to look at the scripture where the Hebrew #21 was first used. "NKJ Ezra 6:3 In the first year of King Cyrus, King Cyrus issued a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem: "Let the house be rebuilt, the place where they offered sacrifices; and let the foundations of it be firmly laid, its height sixty cubits <521> and its width sixty cubits," The words taken out of context of "Let the house be rebuilt" and "let the foundations of it be firmly laid" really stood out to me.

5. CONCLUSION: So now I had an even more confirming message. I understood Him to say that He wants our lives to be rebuilt with our foundations firmly laid in Him and always moving through life with Him as our measurement, and waiting for guidance and direction at every intersection of our lives.

~~~~~~~

1. JOURNAL ENTRY: The same morning of the above entry, 2/9/01, I wrote that I heard the Lord speak at 8:12 A.M. "If you are quality and you need help, will you please go and get the help you need." Quality means holiness unto the Lord in my spiritual language. So I knew He was saying that a group of people pursuing holiness needed help, but who were they specifically, and how were they ensnared? I felt led by the Holy Spirit to look up both the Hebrew and Greek meaning of #812.

2. HEBREW MEANING: The Hebrew meaning of #812 is "cluster." The meaning was not quickened to me in regards to what I heard and I wondered why I was supposed to look them both up???

3. GREEK MEANING: The Greek meaning is "soldiers marching out of order or quitting ranks." In my language with the Lord, soldiers speak of intercessors. Thus, intercessor soldiers who are QUITTING ranks need HELP. And soldiers marching together are supposed to be in a unified CLUSTER when they march. So now I understood how the Hebrew meaning fit after all. (smile)

4. CONCLUSION: There are intercessor warriors breaking ranks for one reason or another and they need help. They need to pray to be led to a unified cluster of intercessors they can trust and who are under the guidance and authority of trusted leadership. There they will find the help and comfort they need.

~~~~~~~

1. JOURNAL ENTRY: On page 9062 of my journal on 3/3/01 I wrote that at 2:07 A.M. I heard "Members of war international" This obviously was about an international war group, but I did not know any more than that until I was quickened to look up the meanings of the Strong’s numbers of the Hebrew and Greek.

2. HEBREW MEANING: The Hebrew meaning of #207 is "vigorous." By way of revelation, I knew immediately that the Lord was using "vigorous" interchangeably with the word zealous.

3. GREEK MEANING: The Greek meaning of # 207 is an "eagle." Since the Lord often speaks of prophetic intercessors as eagles, I knew He meant these "members of war international. " were zealous, prophetic intercessors doing warfare.

4. CONCLUSION: By His using the word "Members" I knew He was speaking of a group. I suddenly knew by Holy Spirit revelation that He desires His zealous prophetic intercessors to unite world wide and organize in world wide prayer.

COMMENTS FROM SANDY: Don Kistler is a completed Jew. I think the book is out of print. Here is what it says on the back of the book:

"The Arithmetic of God contains 187 pages of numbers proving the infallible Word of God: line upon line, precept upon precept (Isaiah 29:13), using over 2000 scriptures from His Holy Book. All given to the scribe by the Audible Voice of God under a light so bright that a towel had to be put over his head or the scribe would have been blinded, but he lay prostrate on a floor and wrote the notes that Jehovah gave him." "NUMBERS ARE THE SAME SINCE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD."
