TO BE ROOTED IN HIS LOVE: FOUNDATION FOR 220 POWER
9/15/23 TO BE ROOTED IN HIS LOVE: FOUNDATION FOR 220 POWER
AM DEVOTIONS – THE HIDDEN MYSTERY
Lord where do You want me to read this morning?
HEARD: Ephesians three.
As I read the chapter in my Art Bible, these phrases were quickened to me and I highlighted them:
- Mystery
- Filled with all the Fullness of God
- Rooted in love / to know the love of Christ
Ephesians 3:1-21 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles, 2 If you have heard of the dispensation of the grace of God which is given me toward you: 3 How that by revelation he made known unto me the mystery; (as I wrote before in few words, 4 By which, when you read, you may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) 5 Which in other ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; 6 That the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in Christ by the gospel: 7 Of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of the grace of God given unto me by the effectual working of his power. 8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; 9 And to make all men see what is the plan of the mystery, which from the beginning of the ages has been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: 10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, 11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord: 12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence through faith in him. 13 Therefore I desire that you faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory. 14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; 17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; 19 And to know the love of Christ, which passes knowledge, that you might be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
CONFIRMATION: After reading and highlighting in my Art Bible, I went to Anna’s Bible to see what she had underlined and if she had any cross references. Sure enough she had circled the word MYSTERY and then drew a line all the way down the page to THE FULLNESS OF GOD! She saw it too!
Paul had so many prepositions in this letter, I felt like he was like William Branham going all over the place trying to get to the point. (smiles.) I do believe the hidden mystery is all about coming into the perfect man, which Paul speaks about in the next chapter. And yes I do see that Paul said the mystery was that the Gentiles are also heirs of Christ.
I heard my spirit say, I eat Mexican food. And suddenly I saw the outside of the Mexican restaurant in Grants Pass. I immediately remembered the time when my son was sitting at the table with us in that restaurant and he confirmed the Word of the Lord about ROOTS.
7/29/00 ROOTS
I dropped my jaw when Mahesh talked about feeling like Kunta Kintae when he had his first born son. Kunta Kintae was the family patriarch of the book and movie called “Roots.”
After I had been slain in the spirit and shook like a leaf, as I went to get my bag over by the stage I noticed that someone had placed a book called, “Roots” on top. It impacted my spirit and I was stunned, knowing it was a Word from the Lord. It struck me very strongly as a confirmation about Mahesh’s Word.
7/25/99 CONFIRMATION ROOTS: Today at lunch at the GP Mexican food restaurant, my son not knowing anything about the Root’s book said that Mahesh reminded him of the guy who starred in Roots. (Earl Grey, who played Kunta Kinae) Alex Haley wrote the book, and Alex is the same “root” as Alexandria.
I saw the motion of Kinta Kintae lifting his son above his head and offering him to the Lord right after he was born. Yesterday on my walk when I was listening to the part where Jesus hung on the cross, I was so I impacted by the Father’s pain of giving His son to the earth, and then also suffering the short separation on the cross. (Jesus has so much favor, He still covers us today in our corruptions!) I understood the Father’s sacrifice in giving His son away.
HEARD: You graduated. The lessons of love. To be One with Me. I gave you My heart.
Ephesians 3:17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
2/02/14 220 POWER: ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE
IMPORTANT WARNINGS ABOUT 220 POWER
For those operating in the Lord’s 220 power, it is important that they be rooted and grounded in love, faith and truth. Those who have gone through death to self – have developed the character to flow in this anointing. It is important that all experiences in the Lord be grounded in both the scriptures and revelation. (Logos and rhema)
QUOTES FROM BOB JONES SHEPHERD’S ROD 1997
On February 20, 1992, the Lord gave a vision and in this vision I was shown a movie projector. Yet I noticed the cord for the movie projector was not plugged in. I asked the Lord to plug the projector in so that it would operate. However, the Lord stated that it wasn’t grounded properly and if it were plugged in it would actually burn itself up. The Lord indicated that it needed to be grounded in three scriptures:
(Eph 3:17) – Rooted and grounded in love.
(Col 1:23) – Rooted and grounded in faith.
(1Ti 3:15) – Rooted and grounded in truth.
The Lord indicated that the wiring necessary for His sovereign power was 220 wiring. The truth for this can be found in Ga 2:20. I HAVE BEEN CRUCIFIED WITH CHRIST AND IT IS NO LONGER I WHO LIVE BUT CHRIST WHO LIVES IN ME AND THE LIFE WHICH I NOW LIVE IN THE FLESH I LIVE BY THE FAITH OF THE SON OF GOD WHO LOVED ME AND GAVE HIMSELF UP FOR ME.
The Lord is announcing in this year’s Day of Atonement revelation that He has now built sufficient character in some leadership during the past five years essential for maintaining and reflecting the power for end-time ministry. With this character the Lord is saying ” I can now begin to show the church previews of things to come”.
In addition to this wonderful promise we are also given a warning through Ga 2:21. This warning clearly stipulates that we should not frustrate nor nullify the grace of God anymore.
============
The following is a short synopsis of Bob Jones’ vision God’s 220 power. I have done my best to keep the integrity of the Word. This synopsis is from a 9 page article called “The House of God” which can be found at his website: http://www.bobjones.org/articles.htm
SYNOPSIS OF THE ARTICLE CALLED “THE HOUSE OF GOD”
Vision given to Bob Jones; written by Paul Keith Davis
http://www.whitedoveministries.org
Prior to the end of 1999, Bob was taken in the Spirit to see a beautiful house, but the Lord said, “Yes, this is a very beautiful house, unfortunately, it has no lights.”…. Bob saw a reducer on the circuits and this had diminished the power flow. Then he noticed that the ground wire had been severed. A ground wire in electrical language usually touches the earth to protect from shock or burn out. Because the ground wire was severed, the hot wire had burned out. A hot wire is the wire that carries the power flow to the lights.
The Lord explained that the severed ground wire was the “Logos” or written Word of God. And the hot wire was the “Rhema” or the revealed spoken Word of God. He explained that all rhema must have a solid grounding in the Logos Word of God. It is very dangerous to have “hot wire” rhema or revelation that is not grounded in God’s Word. This can cause error and calamity. This is why a reducer had been placed upon the wiring of this beautiful house. The Lord did not want the power flow to destroy the house or its occupants.
QUOTE: “The Lord said that we were not properly wired and equipped to handle the great source of power to be dispersed in this generation. This symbolic expression emphasized the great need for continued preparatory refinement. It is imperative we are properly “grounded” and empowered with both the “Logos” and “Rhema” revelation of the Lord’s plans, purposes and will. It is the development of Godly character and maturity essential for the release of this magnitude of power.”
