Bottled UP


[vision]8/29/11

I received an email from a friend today asking to partner with her in prayer... As I read this email I thought, "Man, God way are so many of your faithful children in hardships right now?"  As this was the third prayer request I had received today.

HEARD:  Breakthrough is coming.

SAW: A clear wine bottle with a cork in place.  Inside the bottle, I saw the chest and arms of a man.  The arms were folded across the chest.  Very strong muscles.  The bottle looked to small for the man as he completely filled the bottle.  Tight squeeze.

Quickened thought:  Spirit man inside the earthly vessel.


Job 32:18-20

New International Version (NIV)

18 For I am full of words,
   and the spirit within me compels me;
19 inside I am like bottled-up wine,
   like new wineskins ready to burst.
20 I must speak and find relief;
   I must open my lips and reply.

HOW OUR SPIRIT MAN GROWS  5/15/11

We have been told in scripture to grow up/ build up our spirits and so this teaching is about how our spirit grows.

WE ARE CREATED WITH 3 PARTS: SPIRIT, SOUL AND BODY

1 Thess 5:23-24
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and bodybe preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

Philem 25
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.

Rom 8:14-17
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spiritof bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs — heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

Heb 4:12-13
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to thedivision of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.

When the Lord created Adam, He created him a living being.  This Hebrew word has its roots in being a living breath.  When a person dies and takes his last breath, it is his breath that literally leaves his body.  That breath is our spirit.

Gen 2:7
And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

OT:5315 BEING
nephesh (neh'-fesh); from OT:5314; properly, a breathing creature, i.e. animal of (abstractly) vitality; used very widely in a literal, accommodated or figurative sense (bodily or mental):

KJV - any, appetite, beast, body, breath, creature,  dead (-ly), desire,  [dis-] contented,  fish, ghost,  greedy, he, heart (-y), (hath,  jeopardy of) life (X in jeopardy), lust, man, me, mind, mortally, one, own, person, pleasure, (her-, him-, my-, thyself-), them (your)- selves,  slay, soul,  tablet, they, thing, (X she) will,  would have it.

OT:5314 BREATHE
naphash (naw-fash'); a primitive root; to breathe; passively, to be breathed upon, i.e. (figuratively) refreshed (as if by a current of air):
KJV - (be) refresh selves (-ed).

Zech 12:1-2
Thus says the Lord, who stretches out the heavens, lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him:


OUR SPIRIT BYPASSES OUR BRAINS
The spirit part of us - we do not remember, recall or understand with our intellect.  We have been told to build and grow up our spirit man, yet because our spirit man bypasses our minds or realization of what is going on, we need to know how to built this part of our being.

1 Cor 14:2-3
For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

1 Cor 14:14-15
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.

NT:3563   UNDERSTANDING
nous (nooce); probably from the base of NT:1097; the intellect, i.e. mind (divine or human; in thought, feeling, or will); by implication meaning:
KJV - mind, understanding. Compare NT:5590.

CLOCK TIME:  2:12  chariot wheel

 0212 'owphan {o-fawn'} or (shortened) 'ophan {o-fawn'}
¤ from an unused root meaning to revolve; TWOT - 146a; n m
¤ AV - wheel(s) 35, fitly 1; 36
¤ 1) wheel 1a) chariot wheel 1b) wheel in Ezekiel's vision 1c) wheels of the ten bases beneath the lavers in Solomon's temple

The clock time of 2:12 is chariot wheel. 

HEARD:  Welcome.  The Spirit bids me welcome.

TRANCE:  I was taken up to the Lord last night.  Just as it happened, I was slain under His power, saying, “Jesus!!”  I remembered seeing things on earth below as we departed into the heavens.  I remember hearing a LOT of things, but have NO memory of what.

I remember this happening to Annie, sometimes the Lord would tell her a lot, but she was only allowed to remember a small portion of it when she came back to earth.

I have wondered about that.  Our spirit man sits in heavenly places and is one with the Lord, and itknows.  But on earth, we must overcome our flesh and part of the training of such is the exercise of our free will and our faith.

Eph 2:6-7 NKJV
...and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus...

PIX:  I saw a stack of progressive “to go” restaurant boxes, with the largest on the bottom, and the smallest on top. 

He is building His home inside of me, my spirit man that will be built one Word/ meal at a time. Jesus Christ is my foundation, the Word is which we build and grow up in Him.

TRANSLATED TO THE THRONE 2/11/98
My Love, I have promised you many journeys to My throne room.  And you have already been here many times.  I have allowed you to remember snipits of those times, so that you will know that I fulfill My Word in your life.  But those things that you have not remembered, do not regret.  I have ordained exactly what you shall remember and exactly what you are not be able to resurrect to your natural mind.  Your spirit man remembers everything so do not worry about your destiny.

“This boasting is all so foolish, but let me go on. Let me tell about the visions and revelations I received from the Lord. 2 I was caught up into the third heaven fourteen years ago. 3 Whether my body was there or just my spirit, I don't know; only God knows. 4 But I do know that I was caught up into paradise and heard things so astounding that they cannot be told.”  (2 Cor 12:1-5 NLT)

OUR SPIRITS ARE CONSTRUCTED AND BUILT UP LIKE A HOUSE
Wayne was raised up as a home builder and we built our own home when we were first married.  Building a house has so many facets and stages; each stage of building is dependant upon the other stages being completed in chronological order.  In the same fashion, our spirit man grows.

WORD TO PONDER:  GROWING UP IN THE LORD  11/4/94
Your spirit man is growing from the inside out and you will one day grow so big that it will break all the yokes surrounding you.

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.”  (Isa 10:27 KJV)




WHAT CAN WE DO TO CAUSE OUR SPIRIT MAN GROW or BE BUILT?
The following scriptures use this word, "edify" which means to be built up just like building a house, from the ground upwards.

NT:3618 TO EDIFY
oikodomeo (oy-kod-om-eh'-o); from the same as NT:3619; to be a house-builder, i.e. construct or (figuratively) confirm:
KJV - (be in) build (-er, -ing, up), edify, embolden.

NT:3619
oikodome (oy-kod-om-ay'); feminine (abstract) of a compound of NT:3624 and the base of NT:1430; architecture, i.e. (concretely) a structure; figuratively, confirmation:
KJV - building, edify (-ication, -ing).

NT:3624
oikos (oy'-kos); of uncertain affinity; a dwelling (more or less extensive, literal or figurative); by implication a family (more or less related, literal or figuratively):
KJV - home, house (-hold), temple.

NT:1430
doma (do'-mah); from demo (to build); properly, an edifice, i.e. (specially) a roof:
KJV - housetop.

1)  PRAYING & SINGING IN TONGUES / THE HOLY SPIRIT BUILDS US

1 Cor 14:4
He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself.

1 Cor 14:14-16
For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my understanding is unfruitful. 15 What is the conclusion then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will also pray with the understanding. I will sing with the spirit, and I will also sing with the understanding.

Jude 20-21
But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit.

THE BAPTISM OF THE HOLY SPIRIT AND SPEAKING IN TONGUES

2)  LOVE BUILDS US

1 Cor 8:1
Now as touching things offered unto idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge puffeth up, but charity edifieth.

Eph 4:16
From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto theedifying of itself in love.


3)  PROPHESY AND GOOD WORDS BUILDS US

1 Cor 14:1-5
Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy. 2 For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries. 3 But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men. 4 He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church. 5 I wish you all spoke with tongues, but even more that you prophesied; for he who prophesies is greater than he who speaks with tongues, unless indeed he interprets, that the church may receive edification.

Eph 4:29
Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

========

THE SPIRIT OF PROPHESY IS THE REPORT OF JESUS

1 Cor 14:31-33
For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged. And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

Rev 19:10
For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

Rev 1:4-5
John, to the seven churches which are in Asia:  Grace to you and peace from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne, 5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth.

NT:3141  TESTIMONY
marturia (mar-too-ree'-ah); from NT:3144; evidence given (judicially or genitive case):
KJV - record, report, testimony, witness.

WORD TO PONDER:  COURAGE  3/17/98  (I BUILD YOU UP WITH MY WORDS)

I desire to build you beyond your present state.  This can not happen without your cooperation.  Widen your heart, increase your capacity to receive what I have to say.

You separate us by placing walls of smallness around yourself.  You think that if I were to speak important Words to you or about you that this might build pride.  But this is a lie of the enemy, desiring to keep you thwarted.  He is very afraid of this hour for he knows that I AM building a mighty army, fully equipped with weapons of destruction.  The enemy will do everything to keep your perspective small, fearful and full of defeat.

By way of comparison, if you were to draw a tree depicting what you consider your stature, you might think of a tall hedge or a fruit tree.  But I say taller, and even taller still.  Picture the strength, might and majesty of the tallest redwood trees, and then grow taller.  The might and power of your spirit man can grow as tall as the tallest mountains.  But I need your cooperation to receive the Words I speak into your life.

When I speak Words of courage and valor and bravery and might into your life, then swallow them.  When I speak your calling, then receive it.  When I say you have authority, than practice it .  When I say you can pull down strongholds, then believe it.  When I say you can move mountains, then accept it.  This doesn’t happen overnight.  It happens by steps and degrees of your willingness to believe and practice what I give in perfect increments.

What I AM building is an army that can face giants in the land.  With the power and dominion of who they have become, this army will ultimately defeat those giants.  They will grow to surpass all odds and all obstacles no matter how tall. For they have grown taller than the obstacles.  They have chosen to believe My Words spoken over them.  Believe it, when I say a mighty army, I mean a mighty army.

“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.  And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.”  (Malachi 4:2-3)


4)  PEOPLE BUILD US

Rom 14:19
Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.

Rom 15:2
Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.

1 Thess 5:11
Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

Since our associations with people help build our spirit man, it is very important that we make healthy choices in our times of fellowship.  The Lord once told me that associating with a certain person was unhealthy for me because the unbelief in that person was cankering my own faith.  I did not accept or understand that and it took me a long time to understand why. 

This person was yoked in unbelief and no matter what I shared of what heard or saw from the Lord seemed to help this person.  The lack of feedback, thankyous, enthusiasm and reciprocal fellowship began to decay my own faith because I realized the Words were hitting a brick wall.  This decayed my faith and passion and I realized that instead of being built up, I was being torn down due to the unbelieving spirit in that person.  So I changed and turned to prayer for that person instead of personal communications.  I am instead standing on God's promise that this person will one day grow up in the Lord and become equally yoked in faith.

1 Cor 15:33 AMP
Do not be so deceived and misled! Evil companionships (communion, associations) corrupt and deprave good manners and morals and character.

2 Cor 6:14
Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers.


5/13/95:  TEAM EFFORT TO BUILDING TOGETHER
HEARD:  A team effort.  Respond to what you have.  Confirm the feeble knees. 

Pay attention.  Build up.  Unload My tools.  Hundreds of them.  We are committed to being together.  Body.  Would you want to do it?  Unload them all.  Would you want to?  Traveling.  I don't know how to do it.  Awesome.  100's of them.  Across the nation.  You bet.

5)  GOD BUILDS US

1 Peter 2:4-6
Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Acts 20:32
And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified.

1 Cor 3:9-11
For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building. 10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon. 11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Eph 2:20-22
And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone; 21 In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord: 22 In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit.

6/02/07  LIVING STONES, LIVING SONS
Heaven and earth.  Builder.  Getting us a helper.  Settling in.  Living stones, perfect fit.  Let’s put the pieces together.  Prepared.   And you cant put them back.  Fit snugly.  It behooved Him to bring many sons to glory. Yes My footmen.  All over the earth walking.  Fully manifested. My grace.  Equipped.  Such a show has never been seen.  Treasures galore.  I saw hands moving through many colored gems and valuables.  See them one by one.  Inspect this, it’s real.  Genuine article, 100 proof.  My creations.    It’s such a joy to watch them.  Me in them, fully.  Cant undo them.  Rank.  Fit snugly.  Precisely where they belong. Keeping My sons.

851 of them   {in the sense of obedience; cut off, take away}  My grace.  Manifested grace.  Great grace walks with them.  My sons.  Beloved.  Treasures in the earth.  They’re the forerunners taking their places.  Shouts of grace, grace.  Great grace among them. 

WORD TO PONDER: LIVING STONES 6/02/07
After having been set aside, carved and prepared you with My image, I AM sending angelic helpers to set you into place. You are My living stones, and I AM placing you to fit snugly into position within My living temple, even as My body functions with every joint and sinew fitting perfectly together as one. Let not man put asunder what I have joined together. It is a snug fit, no refunds and no returns. It is fitting to Me, that I precisely fit many sons, rank and file, into My glory.

They are Mine! Look at them carefully, I have prepared My jewels as My genuine creation, walking in the fullness of their 100 fold promises. I AM sending them as transparent vessels of loving faith. They are My feet, walking the earth to show My love, My ways, Myself. They are My sons, the manifestation of My Name. I AM keeping My sons, they bring Me such joy!

1 Peter 2:4-5 NKJV
Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, you also, as living stones , are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.

Eph 2:19-22 NKJV
Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, 21 in whom the whole building, being fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord, 22 in whom you also are being built together for a dwelling place of God in the Spirit.


6)  STAY AWAY FROM WHAT IS NOT EDIFYING

1 Cor 10:23
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

========

8/30/06  DOES IT BUILD OR TEAR DOWN?
PIX: I saw a covering meant to hold back a landslide. 
HEARD:  Help us to keep away from all that is not edifying.  Does it build?  Does it help? 

WORD TO PONDER: IN DANGER OF A LANDSLIDE 8/30/06
Precious one, build a covering around your loved ones by staying away from all that is not edifying. Ask yourself, does this build? Does this help? What you listen to is what they hear. What you speak is how they will speak. Is this something that builds character, thought life, morals, choices? Does it encourage and inspire living a holy and scriptural life? Help your children stay away from danger by building a hedge to protect them with your own godly choices.

Phil 4:8 KJV
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Eph 4:29-32 NKJV
Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification , that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.

1 Thess 5:11 NKJV
Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.
