Back to: Are the Lights Still Burning in Goshen?
Echad

Yesterday as the Sabboth began I went to a prophetic site and found a post where that ”still small voice” echoed in me and I responded. Since that time I have been up and down the rollercoaster of THE LIVING GOD wondering what is going on here. Just now as I received THE TRUMPET 3/ 5/ 99 and the image of ”payday” puts things together in a peculiar way….
here is the issue I was commenting on….
Shema begins with Deuteronomy 6:4-9…>Sh’ma Yisrael Adonai Elohaynu Adonai Echad.
Hear, Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One.
I probably would not have commented on this, Albert, since I am not very
familiar with Jewish practice… However, God has had that particular part of the Word on my heart for some time.
Shalom Albert and Mark,
Well Mark, I’ve gone out of my way to study the HEBREW because for a long time the SH’MA has not only been in my heart, but a driving force…..
“HEAR OH ISRAEL!!!!!” Every Shabbot it is declared to each and every congregation. I was puzzled why ELOHIM ADONAI ELYON thought it was so important. Then again, looking back with 20/ 20 hindsight we know it did little good. In the last few months as I have seen and heard each separate VOICE of ELOHIM and found relationship the awareness of a far deeper TRUTH is there for us to grab. but let me share one little rhema with both of you….
ECHAD means one….unity….single minded/ spirited/ purposed….now look at this interesting prayer….that was said when all 11 disciples were sound asleep….think how JOHN got this info to share with us….
John 17:
11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled.
13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.
14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.
17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
18 As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth.
20 Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
My brothers, the JEWISH MESSIAH would have used that same HEBREW WORD,
ECHAD…that we might be echad as Y’SHUA and ABBA are. That we might be ”separated” from the world, just as HE was. that simply means…to be HOLY….
MARK, my brother, I have tried to respond to your last post and could not find the words. ECHAD is that wondrous unity based on HOLINESS which delineates the church from the BRIDE. Thank you brothers for reminding me what this battle is all about.
ELOHAYNU, ADONAYNU, MELEKAYNU, Y’SHEYANU…. SHABBOT SHALOM
That is what I shared with two brothers and an entire www yesterday. Now I received from my brother Bill Burns…
March 5, 1999: I am bringing to you, My church, an eleventh hour payday for those of you who have been faithful to Me, for those of you that have remained steadfast, for those of you who have persevered without doubting and without dragging My name through the dust of this world.
—snip—-
That I am preparing a people to walk in the glory of My presence? I have spoken to you and said that I am sifting you, and I am taking out of you everything that is wrong.
My brother Bill, ABBA is making us ECHAD….separated from the WORLD just as THE KING OF GLORY walked in our world but refused to conform to it. there is a ”unity” of separation….of ”being called out” that is our destiny and our measure. To conform to the example and image of THE SON in the midst of darkness….in the midst of Egypt. when the ”church” calls for unity it is a political or economic ploy for it does not point to the cross as our goal to emulate.
My Brothers, in the FOURTH THUNDER the KING OF GLORY warned that no longer would HE allow the misuse of HIS NAME. This you confirmed when HE mentioned through you the image of ”dragging MY NAME through the dust of this world”. Too many of our brothers and sisters have ”dusty” feet from their simply walking in this present world. HIS IMAGE to us is to meet each at HIS BANQUET door with towel and basin. to wash the dust of so they could sit at the table clean and pure.
My Brothers and Sisters, I ask that you tarry a moment and allow me to wash your feet. The Battles and Struggles of these past days and weeks have worn you down, stolen your peace, and strained your faith. But HE who has called you to enter HIS REST and to dine at HIS TABLE says BE STILL AND LISTEN.
THIS TIME OF CONFLICT AND TRIAL IS FOR BUT A SHORT SEASON. THE SIFTING CONCLUDES AND THE SEPARATION IS COMPLETED. ENJOY MY SABBOTH AND MY PEACE. I AM THE LORD OF THE SABBOTH AND THE PRINCE OF PEACE. I AM
YOUR VICTORY AND YOUR SONG. AS I AM THE LAMB AND THE LION, LET ME BE TO YOU COMFORT AND STRENGTH. COME INTO MY REST. COME INTO THE PLACE I HAVE PREPARED FOR YOU, ALL WHO LABOR FOR MY GAIN.
I AM THE REWARDER OF ALL WHO SEEK ME.
I AM THE RECOMPENSE FOR ALL WHO ARE POURED OUT IN MY NAME.
BE ONE, BE COMPLETE. FOR AS I AND MY FATHER HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ONE SO
SHALL YOU MY BELOVED BE ONE WITH ME. FOR YOU ARE BONE OF MY BONE AND FLESH OF MY FLESH. I PROCLAIM YOU AS MINE, BOUGHT WITH A PRICE.
ESTEEMED FROM AMOUNG ALL THE DAUGHTERS OF THE EARTH ARE YOU
DAUGHTER OF ZION. THE DAUGHTERS OF KINGS SHALL MINISTER TO YOU. THE HOSTS OF HEAVEN AWAIT YOUR COMING. ALL CREATION DESIRES TO SEE YOU AS I HAVE ALWAYS SEEN YOU.
FEAR NOT MY BELOVED. I HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN YOU. I HAVE NOT FORSAKEN
YOU. IN MY FATHER’S TIME IT IS ALL COMPLETE. NOW QUICKLY PREPARE YOURSELF AND WATCH FOR ME. I COME WHEN THE WORLD LEAST EXPECTS. I COME FOR MY BELOVED WHEN NO ONE LOOKS. I COME AS I PROMISED…
LIKE A THIEF IN THE NIGHT….
REJOICE IN MY LOVE FOR YOU DAUGHTER OF ZION. LISTEN TO MY SONG IN THE NIGHT. I WILL DRY YOUR TEARS AND FILL YOUR HEART WITH LAUGHTER. BE STILL MY BELOVED, BE STILL AND WAIT. WATCH FOR ME.
So let me dry your feet, little sister, the MASTER awaits you as surely as you have waited for HIM. you have prepared yourself and are most properly adorned. Enter HIS REST….enter HIS PRESENCE. refresh yourself at HIS TABLE. oh TASTE AND SEE THE GOODNESS OF THE LORD….
your servant, oh DAUGHTER OF ZION,
shemuel
