I’ve taken the gargantuan article I’ve prepared earlier (while watching the US Elections in between), ran it through ClaudeAI, and asked it to help me out with taking each item in that prophetic word shared November 2014 – the scepter all the way down to the fruit.
To be precise, I asked Claude to summarize all the insights we got and analyzed from each line, to answering four questions: (1) What has God done?, (2) What is God doing?, (3) What will God do?, and (4) What is God leading us to do?
The AI did a fantastic job with the data that I provided, and what I’m about to share is my consolidation and analysis from the raw output.
- The Golden Scepter represents divine authority and favor flowing from eternal sources Through it we remember and acknowledge how, through Christ, we have not only been granted eternal authority; He is continuously providing heavenly favor and mercy. This tells me that we have the authority only as far as He provides it, which reminds me of our trust and dependence on Him.
The sun shall be no more your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give you light; but the LORD will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your glory. Isaiah 60:19
20 Now may the God of peace who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, 21 equip you with everything good that you may do his will, working in us that which is pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever. Amen.Hebrews 13:20-21
I believe our good Father will continue to assert and demonstrate His divine authority over all things, even as we keep today’s chaos in mind.
I believe that the One who resurrected our Savior and our Good Shepherd is faithful to continually equip us for ministry. Our good God consistently shines the light of eternity and He moves in His infinite power – in us, upon us and around us.
Thank You, Father.
- Speaking on the thorns, I am aware of Christ’s parable of the Sower and the Seed, and am fully acknowledging that the seed may just be about the Word that leads to salvation; God forgive me if I’m taking His word out of context.
I’m only saying that because it feels as if the thorns mentioned represent my personal cares of this world; They’re what ‘chokes’ me from the inside out – unstable financial security, deep-rooted sexual temptations, the possible consequent state of being ‘out of rhythm’ with seasons and timing, and also possible short-sightedness and myopia.
They may also represent the temptations of the world; what ‘chokes’ me from the outside in – the deceitfulness of riches, the temptation to fall and to stay in love with money (and making it the only thing that matters); and/or what I’m calling ‘the big 3’ which satan confronted Christ with in the wilderness: temporary comfort and relief (stones into bread), short-term security (jumping off a building), and ultimately limited power and authority (the kingdoms of the world).
I give thanks to God, because in His infinite wisdom, and by His great power and everlasting love, He takes away these thorns in the right way, at the right time.
I believe that He directs me to find more than mere security, but peace that goes beyond all understanding – from His divine providence, what only He could provide and point out. Our eyes are open to the truth: All that comes from the Lord is good and is infinitely superior to any form of temporal, material wealth.
I believe that He reprograms my mind, a mind fractured and damaged by pornography and resultant perversions, resulting in hurting myself and others; I believe He does only what He could do, and I believe that it works. It’s all looking less sensual and genuine, and more transactional and exploitative. It makes me seek what only God could provide and facilitate… this is the Truth, and I wish I had the Bible verses to back it up here, but I believe this is true.
I’m sorry, I know I’m going through all of there in length yet again, but I think all this is important.
I believe that He directs me further, to be more discerning when it comes to dealings in this fallen, temporal world. Through the Holy Spirit, I am reminded and convicted of righteousness – that is, that no matter what I have or don’t have, I will ALWAYS have the Creator of the Universe as my Father, and He will always have me as His beloved – all through the finished work of Christ.
This constant reminder allows us to see things as they really are – money, power, authority and influence are mere tools and not all that there is to have. In fact, I believe that in righteousness we’re realizing that it’s not as appealing for us to have these things, because it’s far easier for us to know we have a Father who is a great Provider, and a Savior who is the absolute King of Kings and Lord of Lords, among many other titles.
And there it is – in place of these thorns, we are brought to contentment and satisfaction, we are brought to so much more, by way of the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Christ was crowned with thorns – my cares of this life and deceitfulness of riches – so the Holy Spirit would rest upon our heads. And He still dwells in me, as I am in Him, constantly working on every aspect of my being so I am not choked by worldly securities, and so I breathe His guidance in fully.
I believe that through the Holy Spirit, thorns will continue to be discovered and removed as they are seen, and walls that limit us would be torn down.
Finally, it’s not riches or our own works that we boast in – it’s the Holy Spirit as a crown on our heads that authenticate us as God’s own, and remind us of the great opportunities and responsibilities we have as His representatives, here in this world.
Thank You, Father.
Okay, let me see if I could keep things concise from here on out.
- We see the Jordan River as a channel of blessing, and also a point of congregation. In the past, the Lord has been faithful to bless us so we’re able to bless others.
I see clearly how I have been blessed, much so that I’ve had many opportunities to be a conduit of His blessings. I haven’t necessarily taken note of all of the times I’ve done all that – and I really don’t think I should keep tabs on things like that… But I WILL admit that I haven’t made additional efforts to bless others as much as I believe I should have.
Nevertheless, in those times and seasons of abundance, I believe that the Holy Spirit has been faithful to me – just as He is faithful to me now – by way of causing me to overflow continuously with life and living water.
Through this part of the prophetic word I am led to believe that I am being encouraged to be a gathering point for others, facilitating unity in Christ, focusing on Him as our firm foundation instead of causing division by way of placing undue focus on non-essentials.
As we let His living waters flow freely through us to others, I also believe that God is naturally faithful to cause overflow to be consistent.. He makes me a channel of blessings specifically for young men, expanding my influence like spreading waters. I’m selfishly claiming a wife and children, and the strength and maturity to make my family thrive, as further manifestations of the Holy Spirit’s authentication, validation and credibility upon me. 😀
- Lions are known for their power, while young lions are known for their hunger. Through this journey of interpreting prophetic words and their meaning over time, we see how, as young lions ourselves, true strength comes through faith in Christ, and dependence on God, on our Father.
And just so we’re clear, this is not primarily OUR faith in Christ. No, by His finished work, He was the One who authored this faith in us. Sure as He is the One responsible in writing the first lines in His blood, He is also responsible – willing and able – to finish our faith.
Christ is the Author, Editor-In-Chief of whatever I have that is considered as ‘faith’. It’s by this faith that I am hungry, and it’s by our Father that I am well-fed, and therefore made strong.
I believe that the Lord is leading me to continue to road, and to proclaim His goodness with boldness and purpose. At the same time, I’m to continue trusting Him beyond all natural limitations, and to focus on the ‘greater works’: That is, the greater feats of everlasting love, peace beyond understanding, and mercy that continues to be new every morning.
These greater works are acts coming FROM the love of God, beyond what the world insists are amazing miracles. I believe that the Lord will continue to be our literal strength, causing us to make things happen, to jump over things that are already happening, and to walk in power no matter what circumstances come.
- Light and Transformation – Once we were in darkness, but we’ve learned that even before we were aware of darkness, we were blind. Light and darkness from the outside did not matter, because all our eyes ‘saw’ was black and dark to begin with.
So, through Christ, not only were were raised along with Him at His resurrection – our eyes were given sight, and He called us from darkness into the light… and He continues to reveal His glory and grace!
We thank God, because I believe He is leading us to continue to help others by having their own eyes when they call upon Christ, that they may heed His call to come from the darkness into the light. I believe He is leading us to continue to use our eyes, not only to avoid death and darkness, but to continue to behold the Light, and consequently to see everything else from a new reality we’re in – an eternal perspective.
I believe that the Lord will continue to show revelation after revelation, opening our spiritual ‘eyes’ even further as the fate of this reality and the coming of His glory unfolds; We are bold, not only to seek but to truly see His face and His infinite glory, while hearing His counsel.
- We are saved. This means that we have been welcomed into God’s family, looking to Him as our Father, and His seeing us, regarding us as His beloved, victorious children. We know this by the finished work of Christ, and by the consequent power of the Holy Spirit – the Spirit of Adoption that causes us to call Him our Father.
Earlier we’ve seen how the Holy Spirit plays such a critical role in our being.. we read that as we are crowned by Him we’re authenticated – meaning, it’s projected to the world and to us that we are His, and He is ours. However, on top of that we’re also seeing that the Holy Spirit continually confirms our identity in Him.
We’re being led to continue walking in His authority, as a child dependent on his Father, while leading and guiding others in understanding their adoption through the Holy Spirit.
I’m personally being encouraged that our Father makes me a father myself, raising up physical and spiritual sons who will continue to turn this world upside down, conquering in the name of the Gospel.
- We grow, and we bear fruit. By the Holy Spirit we enjoy development both initiated and maintained by all that’s divine – not for ourselves, but for the community, primarily.
Not only have we been strategically planted for maximum growth, we also thank God because it’s by His Spirit that fruit is produced through us, in every circumstance.
it’s by the Holy Spirit that we are led to look beyond personal achievements, and to find our motivation and security in the impact we give in the communities that we serve in. It’s but natural that the more we interact with our circles of influence, we are affirmed of our being literally planted in His presence.
We give thanks to God, because He alone is able to cause holistic growth in us, like the trees of Lebanon… But not only that, by His Spirit, He will cause us to produce abundant fruit and ensure lasting impact.
Some more themes that Claude noticed through all of this:
- Power and Dependency: “God gives the power. Faith precedes strength. Christ is the Author and Finisher of our faith.”
- True strength is not found or seen in physical feats, not even in mental toughness. Strength is truly found in divine dependency.
- True power is manifested through love (for ourselves and each other as Christ loves us), and
- True power is demonstrated in discipleship.
- Progressive Revelation: We see movement from what our senses see in the external, to what our spirit discerns in the internal.
- We allow things to go through time for natural deepening of our understanding.
- We witness the integration of personal and universal truth, and the consequent transformation by the renewing of our minds.
- Spiritual Productivity
- God gives the growth, the Holy Spirit bears fruit through us, for others before ourselves.
And through all we’ve gone through in the analysis of these words from 10 years ago, we’ve come to believe that the Lord is leading me, and us, to:
- POSITION: Stay rooted in Christ while reaching out to others
- PROCLAIM: Bold witness with heaven’s authority, proclaiming Christ and His finished work.
- POUR: Let His blessings flow freely through you, staying focused on being a source of blessings
- PLANT: Invest in the next generation, serving them with grace as we have received grace.
- PREPARE: Maintain readiness for greater works, while staying hungry in the Spirit. Take in Scripture and prophecy, being humble and discerning – testing all things while holding on to what is good, striking the balance between analysis and receptivity.
- PERSEVERE: Keep trusting despite circumstances, keep trusting in divine timing, prioritize said dependency over impulsive self-effort, recognizing that this is an ongoing journey and adventure.
- PARTNER: Work with God in His plans for community transformation
And as we power through, we wait on the Lord, in all He will do:
- PROVIDE: Supply all necessary resources and authority, being a channel of blessing to others
- PROTECT: Remove hindrances and tear down walls
- PROSPER: Ensure ministry growth and fruit-bearing, for others’ nourishment. Continued development of pattern for testing prophecy
- PERFECT: Complete the work He’s begun in you, establishing model of spiritual development
- PROLIFERATE: Multiply your impact through others, Continued growth in grace and knowledge, benefiting the community, increasing influence on future generations
- PROGRESS: Keep moving you forward in His purposes; Development of spiritual discernment and deepening dependency on God
- PREVAIL: Ensure victory through your obedience
Granted, God will continue to provide for us, prospering, protecting, and ‘perfecting’ us; Through Him we shall continue to proliferate and progress, and we shall prevail, just as He has prevailed.
As such, we’re reminded to hold our position in Christ, proclaim His goodness, pour out and overflow His blessings, planting them to one and all who would receive. We’re to make the necessary preparations, partnering with God, and we shall persevere.
As early as July 2014, I had this to write:
In Christ, we are more than conquerors. In Christ, we are more than mere servants, but sons and daughters, channels of the Fathers loves (sic). We are no longer slaves, but heirs to the Kingdom of God! Our labor will never be in vain because we are in Christ, and no matter what happens, our Father will cause it to work for our good, because we love out of the everlasting and unfailing love He poured on us.
Did you catch it? There’s a word there that I mentioned which comes up after seeing all those P’s.. and I already made mention of it, more than 10 years ago.
From one point of view, we are channels, where the great and mighty river of living water flows in, flows through, and bursts forth.
For all I’ve wanted to get from all of this, I’m just pleasantly being brought back full circle – to continue to be dependent in Christ and His finished work.
And these are the final lines I haven’t touched in the prophetic word:
continue to wait in me. do not be afraid. believe in my promises. put your faith in me.
do what is right. do what is holy. do what is just.
look forward and look up. i love you my child.
I want to keep reading, writing, praying, and working out. I need to move more.
As Dan Koe advises, move from a surplus of knowledge to application, move from solid application to consistency, move from dedicated consistency to experimentation, and move from meaningful experimentation to knowledge.
May the cycle continue naturally, especially in this case. And in everything else I’m writing.
One last run through it here tonight:
