____________________________

I awoke from a dream a few days back— and I recalled, whilst still in the dream, and dreaming— that I was to remember two words:  Rowan and Kenan.

I had no idea what I would find, a story— birthed out of two words— but that is our Father:  study to show yourselves approved:  so that is what I did, I went into studying these words out in the dictionary, and in scripture.

And this is what I found:  and he has a point.

Rowan—  Rowan is a name that is typically associated with courage, strength, and wisdom. It is also believed to bestow protection and good fortune upon the bearer. The name also refers to the Tree with red berries, which is prized for its robust wood and defense capabilities.  The Rowan tree has a long, sacred history;  since ancient times people have been planting a Rowan beside their home— as in Celtic tradition— it's known as the Tree of Life, and symbolizes courage, wisdom and protection. Look at the delicate leaves, perfectly symmetrical on either side of their stem.  It was the early Christians who regarded the beautiful bright red berries as symbolizing tiny drops of blood, the very essence of life and inevitably, creation.  The Arabic version of the name Rowan is a feminine name that means "a river in paradise." 

Sorbus aucuparia – Rowan

“The rowan tree lives a double life. Due to its extreme hardiness and its tolerance of tough conditions, rowan is found higher up mountainsides than any other tree except the silver birch, and is often called the mountain ash because of this.  But it is also one of the most domesticated of trees, often planted well away from its wilder habitat. It frequents gardens in towns and in the countryside, where it never gets too big for its bounds and its neat habit, pretty spring blossom and autumn display of lipstick-red berries can be appreciated up close. This association of homes and rowans is not purely ornamental, however, and harks back to a belief that the rowan has protective qualities. It has long been widely planted near doorways as protection against witches and other bad spirits.”

Interesting— the Rowan tree is called the Tree of Life, is associated with character traits of courage, strength and wisdom, and bestows protection/defense and prosperity (good fortune) upon the bearer or possessor;  as well as its leaves are perfectly symmetrical (same/as/like) on either side, it represents the blood of Christ, the essence of life and creation— and in Arabic (similar to ancient Aramaic, which YahShua spoke) —it represents ‘a river in paradise.’

What we have learned with this word is that when we live in and with the Tree of Life (God himself), walking and abiding in the Truth, and person of— we walk in courage, strength and wisdom in this world, with protection and defense with Yah— as we bear him up within: and it is all with being like/same/as with God, one in Spirit, resuming our proper conduct with God— and in this— the leaves are for the healing of nations:  the people, as they walk like/same/as God himself in their conduct, with him at the helm— will bring healing to the nations— as possessors of Life themselves within them— ambassadors bringing him (the Truth and Life) everywhere they go— by their fruits (conduct, and results of).

They will represent the blood of Christ;  they will have allowed him to function through them, and will bring his fruits, of his Spirit— to the world around them:  pure, holy and clean— like he is— and in that, healing, deliverance, and wholeness will come to the people of nations, as God himself will manifest through his manifest sons (duplicates, submissive, clean and refined for him to use, as his temple vessels).

Life and creation will flow from them, for he flows from them— when they are living in the Tree of Life:  they flow from the river in paradise, from the throne room of Yah himself;  and he flows by the river of the Spirit, into them, and through them.

As well— the Rowan tree, or the Tree of Life has a double life:  first it can ENDURE HARSH CONDITIONS, it is hardy and tolerates a lot of rough conditions— and is found HIGHER UP THE MOUNTAIN— only the silver birch accompanying it with its heights above (and interestingly “the silver birch is a hardy tree itself, a pioneer species, and one of the first trees to appear on bare or fire-swept land.”  Meaning— we will all go through a fiery refinement— to reach the heights of where God dwells, abides, lives, breathes and finds his being— at the summit of the Mountain of God).

But it’s second, or double life is that it went from wild (like the wild olive branch, grafted into Yah), to domesticated— away from it’s wild environment— and now abides with the home:  Yah is our home, we are his vessel, a home away from home— or a person to indwell— aside from his own body and vessel:  converted people— are converted back into his image (this is true repentance and life in Christ), and with this— they go from wild (or untamed) —to domesticated, or living as one with God— in his ways, his rules, his conduct, his image— and thus, are grafted together as one:  the conversion story. 

AND IT NEVER GETS TOO BIG FOR ITS BOUNDARIES:  Yah is attempting to keep us in his ways— when we will be submissive, soft, obedient and humble— we will never grow larger than God’s bounds;  he will always be the one in charge, and we will walk, look, sound, speak, and live— as he does— and by his lead:  pride will be dealt with, and humility will be our robe.

Now— in this— in living in the Tree of Life (the person of God) —we will then be protected, as nothing comes against God and godliness:  and in this— we are protected against evil spirits, and witchcraft.

Evil, or unclean spirits— live in dry places, the dust of the earth— the carnal man’s nature that is opposite of God and godliness:  satan, it is said— licks up the dust of the earth— that means, he eats and dines in this place, the place of carnality in man;  it’s is why we are to deal with this nature— AND KILL IT OFF— for witchcraft, rebellion— dwells therein.

_______

Genesis 3:14

“And the Lord God said unto the serpent— Because you have done this— you are cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon your belly shall you go— and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.”

Micah 7:16-17

“The nations shall see and be confounded at all their might: they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.

They shall lick the dust like a serpent, they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth: they shall be afraid of the Lord our God, and shall fear because of thee.  Who is a God like unto thee…”

1 Samuel 15:23

“For rebellion— is as the sin of witchcraft— and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.  Because you have rejected the word of the Lord— he has also rejected you from being king.”

________

We cannot walk in rebellion to the Lord, we cannot walk— not as he walks— live, not as he lives, breathes and finds his being— and think we will arrive where he is.  We cannot walk another path— and think we are heading in the same direction, or will arrive in the same place:  we cannot walk as the heathen, who walk in opposition to him and his ways— and think we will rule and reign with him— as he is not actually allowed to rule and reign our vessel, inside, in obedience and submission.

To walk with satan— is not walking with God;  and satan eats off our carnal nature, indulging with us in all ways we will walk like/same/as him:  he seeks worship, and he gets it— when we do as he does, and find our being, living, breathing, speaking and indulging in what he does:  when we banquet at the table of the flesh getting what it wants, how it wants it, and when it wants it:  we are then— dining with satan, and licking the dust of the earth.

The dust of the earth— carnality— that sits at the table of hell and sin, and indulges therein:  serpents are found in the dry places of the soul, attached to carnality.

I was speaking this to someone recently about their dream— witchcraft, the mouth, idolatry, and dry riverbed rocks— laborious, and in sweltering heat, slaving away to carry them— was the theme:  this speaks of uniting in carnal ways, walking in rebellion, witchcraft (a witch was present, who was anointing her tongue with poison), and slave labor— to demons— or satanic yokes of bondage and hard labor of their union— was present:  demons inhabit the dry places.

And the river was dry, which would be the living waters of the Spirit— meaning God’s Spirit was not being heeded, or abided with and in— and they were in bondage to devils, and laboring in yoke with them, carrying ‘dry stones,’ which symbolizes— not living stones, alive in Christ— but representing death, dryness of spirit, demonic yokes/bondage/burdens— and all through rebellion to be as God is, to walk/live/abide, like/same/as he does, and is:  this is idolatry upheld within man.

He’s coming to deal with all of this— through massive refining fires— given to the whole world— to come out of Babylon within, and be saved:  converted.

Satan dwells in the dry places, he survives in man where man will eat of rebellion, disobedience, and walk opposite of God— he will dine on our flesh nature, and as we uphold it— he will couple with us in it:  making him the one we obey— and not God holy, true and pure:  we must stop letting serpents lick the dust of our fallen nature— whilst we couple with them in it:  and put off that yoking, or coupling with satan, sin and rebellion.

Witches do not enter into eternal life— they are his opposite— born in fleshly lusts, and walking therein— a witch must die:  and new creation in Christ Jesus must be birthed:  how many of us are walking as the new creation— clean, like/same/as he does (and is doing something about the areas we do not, or are not yet— getting disciplined)?  How many of us are coming into sanctification, and coupling with it— for sanctification is God’s ways?  Are we excusing our behaviors of sin— or are we dealing with a witch (carnal, fleshly walk) as it should be— and we are killing the witchcraft taking place within us?

Because it is required to walk in sonship with God, as our Father:  for he must actually BE THE FATHER OF OUR WAYS— and we must actually love him properly— which comes through OBEDIENCE to his mandate, conduct, regulations of our person, and resume his image once again:  rebellion will be dealt with, and in great tribulation— to recover souls unto him.

________

Kenan—  Kenan comes from a root word H7064 that means "fixed dwelling," like a nest or chamber. The word also means "possession." Qeynan (קינן) can mean "to possess," or "to mourn, lament, or sorrow after."  Kenan is also an Irish name that means "ancient."  Kenan is a baby boy name of Hebrew origin. Pronounced KEE-nan, this baby name means “acquire.” From the ancestors of our Lord’s mother, Mary, to the son of Enosh— Kenan is associated with brave men in the Old and New Testament.

_________

There is to be a possessor or us, we were bought with a price— and we are not our own, scripture tells us this;  but often times I hear and see people still doing their own thing, being led about like a bull with a nose ring— of satan— as they continue to live with him, do not kick him out of operations within their vessel, and thus remain in bondage, yoked and convenanting with sin and death— as they wonder why their relationship with Yah is stressed, confusing, hindered/blocked, or otherwise— estranged.

It is because another god is exalted within— a witch, if you will— one who indulges in the carnal nature, walks opposite of God and godliness, and upholds fleshly ways:  it is a person who needs the holy fire of God to burn, cleanse, and remove all that is not him:  because death is upheld within— not life, and lies and opposition to him are upheld within— not truth and unity (same as he is, we are = unity with God).

So, he will come with much tribulation— to cleanse the sinner, and part him from his iniquity— for he has been unwilling to part with it of his own free will to align with God— and uphold holiness and righteous living, within their person:  he will come to save some— by fiery trials of cleansing purification.

Kenan— means, one who possesses, and mourns or laments in sorrow after us— in our ways— he is ancient, and he comes to acquire:  he is a jealous God, and jealous lover— and he comes to separate us from our sin (our flesh desires, and affiliations with satan, where we dine with him— and not our heavenly Father).

We are to dine at the table of holiness, righteousness, truth and love:  the Tree of Life.

That means we are to be as he is— holy;  we are to walk righteous paths of conduct— not highway paths that lead to hell, walking separate from God, estranged and opposing him;  we are to live and abide in the truth— not lies, deception, sin and inquity— indulging in the dust of the earth with the serpent (carnality):  and we are to love God as he detailed to us— with all our soul’s efforts to come into alignment with him, and to obey him and his commandments of us.

There is no other way— obedience, reverence, sacrificial living, and humble servitude toward God and godliness.

The Tree of Life

__________________________

When the tree of life is mentioned— keys are given;  and we will see the attributes of Rowan and Kenan applied:  

Rowan— courage, strength, wisdom of God and godliness (not the sensual wisdom of carnal living and understanding, which is devilish), protection from Yah and prosperity— when living right with him, under him, in obedience to him and his kingship— as we bear him up, exalt him inside:  the Tree of Life and person of.  As we walk like same as him (symmetrical leaves, and the blood of Christ applied for cleansing us), bringing in the essence of life itself and creation (recreation) —as we walk and abide in the river that flows from the enthroned God within— the Spirit river of God, in us, leading us, correcting us, and cleansing us— as he returns us to our original format:  as he is.

Going from wild, to domesticate— under submission, refined, and obedient to Christ Jesus and his Spirit now, enduring, coming up higher, ascending up to the greatest heights of unity with God (the mountain summit tree) on the mountain of God, never getting too big for our britches (or boundaries, with God), but being humble, submissive, and obediently loving toward him— and in this— he protects  us from walking with devils/demons/uncleanness (and an unregenerate spirit), and to come out of witchcraft (carnal ways):  that is Rowan.

And Kenan:  because God is our possessor, we are bought and paid for with a blood covenant that we agree to, and came under— we are not our own, and we are not to act as if we are, and indulge in ungodly ways, attributes, activities, thoughts/mindings, and deeds contrary to him and godliness/holiness/righteous living in Christ Jesus:  he’s coming to deal with rebellion and witchcraft (flesh), for it hinders his people from unity with his Spirit, and in their salvation or uncoupling, unyoking partnership with satan, in covenant with his sin and death (opposition to God, and estrangement).

He comes to possess the land (that’s you and I), and he is mourning that this is not taking place yet within so many— he sorrows and is grieved, for his fixed dwelling (supposed to be our vessels/persons/souls/garden hearts) have gone after another, and walk in another’s ways, and in intimacy and familiarity with:  he is ancient, his paths are ancient, and we are to walk therein with him;  and he’s coming to ACQUIRE us, within, in our souls, in our alignment with him, in our ways, our thoughts, our tongues, our emotions, our deeds/actions and affiliations:  HE COMES TO ACQUIRE WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY HIS— even if we are opposing his possession and infilling of himself in our vessels— with his ways erected, and his leadership in us— enacted:  he comes to recover us, but with that— he comes to deal with our rebellion and witchcraft— to do so:  tribulation and salvation— by fire.

These verses and scripture help us understand this pursuit, mission and work— that Jesus Christ will be attending to— as he comes with his sword (truth and Spirit) to divide his household, and cleanse his bride with fire:  so she is ready to be received— at the end of the age:  currently— she is spotted in her garments (what we walk covered in), and she is perverted/twisted in her conduct (wrinkled) —and he intends to cleanse her, and iron her out:  by fire and great shaking;  everything God does is good, and given to the purposes of salvation— everything.

Kenan—  He comes to make a permanent dwelling with us, a fixed dwelling— to nest up in a chamber with us— within the heart of our souls/soil:  he aims to possess us— both in legality, and in spirituality with his Spirit, as two become one;  and he mourns, weeps, laments and sorrows after his creation— to acquire his people through the ancient paths, that the Ancient of Days walks upon;  he desires we resume his image and come into union with his Spirit once again— being saved from union with satan, the carnal, estrangement from him, and sin and death.

He desires to recreate his creation in us— he desires to change men around completely inside (repentance) —but man must come into agreement with him to be as he is, and to be in submission to his Spirit and leadership in us, through correction, admonishing, chastising and scourging our insides— in a purification cleansing, to align us with him again:  if this is not taking place— we are still needing that salvation and yoking union with him, and we need to submit and become supple in his hand, and humble in our being once again.

These verses and scripture references— will show us this, and how he will cleanse us from this union to the flesh nature, and service to self:  these references will enlighten us to who he is, who we are, and what comes to be in this salvation process— as he will bring us into union with him, cleaned up, and ironed out.

Genesis 2:9

“And out of the ground made the Lord God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil.”

_______

In the MIDST— the tree of life exists;  this means— in your midst you are to be as he is, at your centermost, at the heart of your soul/soil:  this is the place the Truth must be alive in us, where we are rooted and grounded in him and his ways:  but— likewise— if we will continue to indulge in the other tree, that can be found in the MIDST of man’s soil/soul— man will remain in sin and death, eating off of satan’s table of the unregenerate soil, born of the carnal nature— and upheld in the soul of that man:  the tree of good and evil knowledge.

Living in the TRUTH— is separate from knowledge:  it is truth LIVED, not known of— LIVED— within the centermost soil/soul of man, coming back into unity with the living God.

_______

Genesis 3:21-24

“Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.  22 And the Lord God said— Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now— lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat— and live forever (in the state of death separation):  23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.”

_______

Coats of death (skins) now covered man, the dust of the earth— as they partook in the knowledge of death (sin/evil/opposite nature of God and godliness):  and because we began to walk in this, and we are babies learning— and we are not God— we fall prey to this nature, because it beckons us to indulge in things God does not— to walk contrary to him;  and man is weak in this fleshly nature, God said so, and it’s why the second covenant came through YahShua fulfilling the law, and becoming the one and only, final sacrificial Lamb for us:  because through the weakness of the flesh— a better sacrifice was needed.

This better sacrifice (the Lamb) is now available to partner with, inside— and slay the serpents that want to lick from your carnal nature, and dine on you, and with you:  he has come to set the sinner free, and uncouple him from his carnal nature, and recreate him— to walk with him, as he finds HIS BEING, and to be set at liberty from satan.

But he cannot do this— if we remain in rebellion and witchcraft (carnal ways);   for we ourselves oppose him and his godliness, and his leadership to come in and conform us to his image:  we must PARTNER WITH HIM (that is— yoke up with him, not satan) —and to do this— we must relinquish satan, and dining with him;  because he only brings death, and feeds off of us in our carnality, and leads us in our ways that align with him— to separation from God— both now, inside, in distance and blockages from our rebellion and witchcraft (carnal fleshly ways), and then for eternity— if we do not become repentant, turn around completely inside, for real.

Because God does not desire for any to perish in this way, in his sinful ways— he will come with refining fires, and tribulation (which means ‘to shake’) —because he desires to save some, by pulling them through fire:  that is— refine them by fire.

And the Tree of Life was taken from their access— because he did not want man to exist in this broken, twisted, and estranged state from him— forever;  and so God set us out of his Garden space— and to go get to work:  that work— we are tilling— is our souls/soils— to bring forth the union once again, to slay principalities and powers within our vessels— and to regain our original shape once again, by laboring in love with our Father in the garden of our hearts/souls/soils once again.

Too often man thinks outside himself only— like principalities and powers being entities outside of our person/body/vessel;  and whilst they do exist there— demons inhabit the interior of man through the flesh:  so it would behoove us to understand that God is expecting WORK from us, to come back into union with him, the truth, and proper conduct— in union with him, to become one in Spirit with him, once again.

We are called to TILL OUR VESSELS/HEARTS/SOULS/SOIL.

Now— through repentance (a complete turn around inside) we have gained access back to the Tree of Life— to union with God, through submission, sanctification, obedience, honoring him, and resuming our original image of conduct, disposition, demeanor, attributes, deeds and character— that of Christ Jesus, the Son who exemplifies to all sons— how to be in union with the Father.

And this is when the flaming sword of the cherubim— open up the way to us to return to him once again:  let us honor him with our whole souls, and in our ways:  and be found worthy of eternal life (that’s life with God), and the kingdom of God.

_______

Matthew 10:37

“He who loves father or mother —more than me— is not worthy of me: and he that loves son or daughter— more than me— is not worthy of me.”

_______

No idolatry— no other gods before him, he must hold preeminence in us, and highest exaltation in our hearts.

_______

Matthew 10:38

“And he that takes not his cross, and follows after me— is not worthy of me.”

_______

If we do not die to carnality— and we continue therein— he says, we are not worthy of him:  that is— we are not honoring him, obeying him, nor exalting him within us.

_______

Matthew 22:8

“Then saith he to his servants— The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy.”

_______

He is calling, inviting and beckoning to come into union with his Spirit— and to wed, or unite, or yoke to his Son— but many in his church are not coupling with him in covenant— they are not upholding him, his truth, or his ways inside of themselves:  and he must point this out, and he must bring refiner’s fires to assist us in our reprobate ways being dealt with:  for we are invited to be a bride, if we will not be clean in all our ways, as he is— we may be invited to the wedding, but we will not marry him:  and it is because we would not marry him in his person and ways, of his Spirit– in the earth, our vessels.

There will be a bride, there will be guests of the groom, and there will be friends of the groom:  which category we end up in, if we get invited at all— is determined by our walk with God, or our rebellion and fighting against him— in this lifetime on earth, in our vessels.

Servants were mentioned above in the reference— servants serve him— not their own interests in their vessel or lives:  and that is key.

And so— those who were called— were not found worthy;  for they refused him:  so he went and called unto those who were willing to yoke with his Spirit (this is marriage).

_______

Luke 3:8

“Bring forth therefore— fruits worthy of repentance…”

Luke 21:36

“Watch yourselves, therefore— and pray always— that you may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.”

Ephesians 4:1-3

“I therefore— the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you— that you walk worthy of the vocation wherewith you are called— with all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;  Endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit— in the bond of peace.”

_______

The bond of peace— the yoke to godly order in our vessels (disciplined therein);  a prisoner— a bondslave to Christ, let us therefore be found worthy of our vocation— that means, our invitation to walk as he is, with him, endeavoring— that is— make prompt effort, diligently, earnestly.

Watch yourselves— this is discipline mentioned of our character and deeds, conduct and fruits we show out of us;  commune with him constantly— be in submission to him always, to be counted worthy to escape that which comes for the wicked— as we stand before the Son of man.

Bring forth fruits worthy of repentance— fruits are results, and repentance is the new creation Christ has been able to form in you, walked out in manifestation:  so— he is expecting a new man to be walked out, and manifest to all who come in contact with us— wherewith he himself is able to manifest his person to the world, this is a witness of Christ, in a person;  and this happens— when we are repentant, for real— changed around and walking as he walks, in union with his Spirit, wherewith he is the one in charge of the vessel he possess:  submission, obedience, reverence, sacrifice and humble servitude— lived in the truth, and in harmony with the Spirit thereof. 

_______

Colossians 1:10

“That you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing— being fruitful in every good work— and increasing in the knowledge of God.”

_______

There is a purpose to all this— that we would be pleasing to him, a delightful aroma in his presence— being fruitful in HIS FRUITS, his results, coming forth from us, with all good workings coming from us:  this is maturity.

And it is accomplished— through gaining knowledge of God within us:  who he is, what he is, as he is— and we couple with who he is, what he is, as he is:  these are the manifest ones.

_______

1 Thessalonians 2:12

“That you would walk worthy of God, who has called you unto his kingdom and glory.”

2 Thessalonians 1:11

“Wherefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling— and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power.”

_______

It was brought up to me today, why we have the authority, as Christ Jesus is in us, and we in him— but we do not walk out the greater works yet:  and that is the problem— many are not walking and abiding in Christ (the truth, rooted and ground, submissive and reverent of him) in their vessels:  and all the authority is his, we only gain his authority when we serve him— and he indwells us, and fills us with his holy Spirit— whom works all the works of Christ in us.

Are we pleasing to him, a delightful aroma— or are we religious, compromised, hypocritical, spotted as unclean in our tongues, thoughts, or actions still?

Are we walking as we walk in the kingdom of God, here in our earthen vessels— under him, honoring him, pleasing him, worshiping him— as we come out of death and sin— and walk and live as he does, with him?

Because all authority working THROUGH us— is because he has preeminence in us, and is actually the highest one in us— and his dominion rules within us:  until that happens— we will not walk out the greater than works;  because those, are, and have always been— the Father’s works through us.  And if we are doing satan’s works in us— we are not doing the Father’s works, nor exalting him as the most high one in us, and his dominion is not in action within us.

Are we even doing the former works in our vessels?  I ask that— because casting out demons (from within ourselves first, then others) is the former workings of the Father in us;  healing the sick— a former work— are we laying on hands and healing the sick?  Are we mending the brokenhearted— as we bring Christ to them, and set them free with his truth and Spirit?

These are just some of the former works— and if we are not in union with his Spirit, nor working in these former works— how, or why— would our Father work the GREATER works— for we still have need of getting disciplined (trained and obedient) to/with the former workings of Christ.

He either has the leadership role within us, and we are obedient to him, and submissive to his leadership— or he does not:  and without him being in dominion within us, and we resuming our rightful place— below him, and acquising to him in all authority being given back to him— and becoming obedient in this relinquishing of the throne of the soul/heart…

Without this taking place for real inside— we walk in our own authority, or satanic authority— which brings death, powerlessness, and lack of the will of God— for we have not made ourselves subject to the will of the Father, but to our own carnal will.

He has much cleansing to do in his people, who are called by his name (character and authority) —but of whom walk with another character and authority— not his:  this is hypocrisy, lukewarm, and compromised.

No greater works can be done in these individuals— for the former works are not done in them, and it is because they remain at odds with him, in opposition to him, disobedient— and not doing the former works— to which they were to steward all along.

We really must resume his image, become reverent to him, stop bucking him, submit, obey, and love him properly:  and that will never come through upholding the flesh nature, or dining with satan— coupling with his spirit and works.

1 Timothy 5:17

“Let the elders that rule well— be counted worthy of double honor— especially those who labor in the word and doctrine.”

1 Timothy 6:1

“Let as many servants as are under the yoke— count their own masters worthy of all honor— that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.”

_______

He is our Master/Lord, do we honor him— so that we do not blaspheme the name (character and authority) of God?  His doctrine— is how he teaches us to walk out the truth:  blasphemed means— defame, vilify, which means— to damage the reputation of a person by saying, writing, or doing bad things —about them, that is not true.

Hereby we understand we are to live the truth, live the gospel, represent God in all godliness walked in— as we couple with his Spirit.  How many of us are blaspheming him, defaming his character and authority— as we walk contrary to his character and authority— whilst claiming we are his:  Christian?

We must covenant yoke with him for real— and truly be his servants, those who serve righteousness, holiness, truth— and love him for real, as he said to:  in obedience.

The elders who rule well— rule their vessels well, in discipline— in their submissive agreement to the word (truth and person of) and the doctrine of (the teaching of how to walk the paths of righteousness, understand the word, and be in union with God) — are given double honor— which is esteem;  and these are forerunning pioneers:  elders of the faith, and servants of the most high God.

_______

Hebrews 10:29

“Of how much sorer punishment— suppose ye— shall he be thought worthy, who has trodden under foot— the Son of God— and has counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified— an unholy thing, and has done despite [insult] —unto the Spirit of grace?”

James 2:7

“Do they not blaspheme that worthy name by which you are called?”

If we step all over the Son of God, in our vessels, and we defame his character and authority in us (his name), but we wear his name upon us— as Christian— we count the blood, the covenant of blood, the cleansing work of the truth of God, where he sanctifies us— an unholy thing;  we do this— because we do not choose to couple with proper living, and we uphold another covenant, to another god— and dine with satan instead:  and in this we have insulted the Spirit of Grace:  we have blasphemed— which means, taken his name in vain (emptiness), and we have need of repentance, and reverence to him.

We damage his name-sake, and reputation of his Spirit, conduct, and person— by doing, demonstrating, speaking and living— in opposition to him (opposite him), and yet claim we do not:  but our fruits will show who is our god— what comes out of us:  we do spite (insult) to his Spirit.

{Wisdom and the Tree of Life}

Proverbs 3:11-26

“My son— despise not the chastening of the Lord; neither be weary of his correction:  For whom the Lord loves he corrects; even as a father (corrects) the son in whom he delights.

Happy is the man who finds wisdom [H2451 good sense, skillful wit], and the man that gets understanding.  For the merchandise of it— is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof— than fine gold.

She (wisdom) is more precious than rubies: and all the things you can desire are not to be compared unto her.

Length of days is in her right hand (long life— is because of godly wisdom); and in her left hand— riches and honor (wealthy in spiritual inheritance, as well as favor of God).

Her ways (wisdom) are ways of pleasantness— and all her paths are peace.

She is a tree of life to them who lay hold upon her: and happy is every one who retains [acquires (Kenan), obtains, keeps fast to, follows closely, maintains, takes up with] her.”

{God’s wisdom brings a tree of life to us, his overflowing abundance of his person— if we will maintain, follow, and keep fast to his wisdom— and live by it/him;  and if so— we will acquire happiness.}

“The Lord by wisdom —founded the earth (and he will found ours as well in the same way— by his leadership and wisdom being adhered to in our vessels:  this is the foundation, and cornerstone— by which we are founded upon in our souls); by understanding— he established the heavens (our thoughts, symbolically— as we come to understand him, obey him, and be founded in the truth, by his wisdom and counsel).

By his knowledge— the depths are broken up (our carnal foundation, deep within our souls), and the clouds (our thoughts and minding) drop down the dew (spiritual waters of godliness, that comes from above, and drops upon us from the window of heaven).

My son— let not them depart from your eyes (keep your perspective clear— on God and godliness): keep sound wisdom and discretion (discipline and separation):  So shall they be life unto your soul, and grace to your neck.”

{We gain God’s grace in our inner man, and life to our souls— if we will walk in agreement with HIS WISDOM, not our own— doing our own thing:  we become disciplined in his ways, and we separate from all else;  our thoughts are cleaned up— wherewith his higher ways drop upon us like the dew from above;  and the carnal foundation is destroyed [and the yoking to it] when we exalt God and godliness in us.  And we will be happy— if we will obtain and keep, adhere to, and exalt his WISDOM within us:  established by his leadership of our person/vessel.  

Our paths will be peaceful, godly ordered steps, and we will have long life— if we will exalt his wisdom— which comes of his counsel and ways— and we will swim in the knowledge of God (knowing God, directly, personally):  and a tree of life will be erected inside of us— a river of the holy Spirit in which we are rooted and grounded in, as we obey him, learn of him— and keep his ways.

And that wisdom of God— comes through chastening and correction.

All I have done is sum up what has been spoken already in these verses.}

“THEN— shall you walk in your way safely, and your foot shall not stumble.

{We only stumble on the cornerstone— when we won’t erect our lives on the truth and person of— he then becomes not a cornerstone in which our person’s insides have been built upon— but a stumbling block of separation now, by which we will be pulverized by— as we trip over his person and ways— in rebellion to, and in stubbornness of.}

“When you lie down— you shall not be afraid: yea— you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.  Be not afraid of sudden fear— neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes.

For the Lord shall be your confidence, and shall keep your foot from being taken.”

{When we will uphold him for real, inside, and be conformed to his image again— that’s inner conduct— then we rest in all things, as we walk the paths of right standing with God— and we will not be afraid of the desolation of the wicked, and our sleep will be sweet— because we KNOW— we walk right with God, and in his ways, and we exalt him and his ways within:  in this— we know we are not the wicked.}

Strong/Strength & Courage

_____________________________________

Deuteronomy 31:6

“Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord your God— it is he that does go with you; he will not fail you, nor forsake you.”

Deuteronomy 31:23

“And he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said— Be strong and of a good courage: for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with you.”

_______

Be strong— is a command, be of good courage— is a command;  fear not, nor be afraid are both commands— are we obeying his command?  He says— This is why you are to be strong, courageous, not afraid nor fearful— Because I go WITH you— and so, you are not alone;  as well— because I will NOT fail you, nor forsake you, which means— loosen, relinquish, leave destitute, or refuse.

When scripture tells us to obey his commandments— all these are examples in scripture;  are we subduing our flesh nature— and remaining resolutely fearless, courageous, and strong— obeying God’s commandments to do so— because we know in whom we have believed, and are persuaded is able to keep us.

If not— we walk in sin, and we transgress his leadership, love and provision in our lives— and we do not walk in love toward him, for we walk contrary to his commands— which is how he told us to love him:  if you love me, obey my commandments.

He says— you shall bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them— and I will be with you;  this is the same for us— we are spiritual Israel, the people of the FAITH in God— do we hold TRUE FAITH in God, that he’s real, and we honor him in laying our lives down, and placing them in his hand— because he IS WITH US?

Do we believe he will bring us into the promises too— as he has done with his track record to others in his household— in the past?

This is to live by faith, this is to live by obedience, and this is to live by his command;  and this is why the remnant has always been the remnant— and the leadership of the remnant— the remnant of the remnant, the forerunners with the Lord— are who they are;  because they are fearless, courageous, strong, faithful and obedient— and it is why they see God face to face.

They live life from the tree of Life, from the tree of faith in the Truth, and he is a person;  they do not walk by sight— giants phase them not, hard work— phases them not;  and dire circumstances just give them a reason to trust in their God’s right arm— not their own.

In fact, a brother in Christ recently brought up a scenario in scripture— where Peter reached with his right hand, and took an infirmed man by his right hand— and he was healed.

Do we know why this was significant, in its symbolism?  Do we know that NOTHING in scripture is there by coincidence, or for no reason?

You see— the right arm of the Lord is his dominion, strength and rule:  it is when the infirmed man chose to TRUST GOD, and PUT HIS LIFE IN GOD’S HANDS— that he relinquished his strength, dominion and rule of his own vessel— and stretched forth his right hand:  and that is when the right hand of God, or the right arm of God— was able to take over, become most high in preeminence in that man’s life, soul and body— and God’s dominion and rule was shown through his love and strength to heal:  it is in our SURRENDER to TRUSTING IN GOD, for real— that we are delivered, in ANY circumstances.

Courage, Strength, Fearlessness = Faith in God.

These are all examples of Rowan:  Courage, Strength, Wisdom (faith/trust in God is godly wisdom), and protection of Life (from the Tree [or the being rooted in] Life itself/himself);  as well as hardiness and tolerance to to tough life conditions— ascending the mountain of the Lord (doing life with God in this realm) —higher up in his ways and thoughts and actions of his leadership;  becoming domesticated— not wild any longer— to doing life with God, God’s way:  in this— we are applying the blood of ‘at-one-ment’ again, intimacy with God through Christ Jesus— and we have protection from witchcraft (carnality power wielding), and bad or evil spirits, and being in affiliation with them.

And it all comes through BEING— what he told us to be;  he is commanding us to BE— a certain way in life, and to OBEY— a certain leader within our vessels:  this is a reverent conduct toward our God, it is stewarding what he has given us well:  and he gave us himself fully— he gave us his word, his command, his person, and his kingdom reign over all enemies.  But are we loving and obeying him, and taking up his command within ourselves— and BEING— as he has instructed us to be in this life?

_______

Joshua 1:7

“Only— be strong and very courageous— that you may observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded you: turn not from it— to the right hand or to the left— that you may prosper whithersoever you go.”

1 Chronicles 19:13

“Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people— and for the cities of our God: and let the Lord do that which is good in his sight.”

1 Chronicles 22:13

“Then shall you prosper— if you take heed to fulfill the statutes and judgments which the Lord charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; dread not— nor be dismayed.”

_______

Dread not— means do not fear, nor morally revere, nor be frightened in any way;  and be dismayed not means— do not bow yourself down in confusion of fear, be discouraged, or terrified:  can we see why the fearful and unbelieving are the first two mentioned in Revelation— who have their part in the Lake of fire?

Because they are not of God— they are of ‘another’ spirit, and it is fearful and unbelieving— IN GOD;  and they are not a valiant people, behaving themselves valiantly— in trust to God, nor entrusted to his faithfulness to deliver his people, to love his people, to show his dominion of rule, over the lives of his people— in the face of their enemies:  fearfulness— is a lack of moral reverence to God, a lack of faith in God, and high reverence to negative results, due to the presence of satan in this life, in the lives of those who are scared of him and his minions— because they do not have faith in God holy and true— nor are they convinced and persuaded that he is able and willing to be their protection and provision;  nor are they convinced that he will bring them into the promises he has sworn to his people.

He has a people— and they are believers of his goodness and faithfulness, his strength, his love, his high rule of dominion— and they lay their lives in his hand— which means that they believe in him biblically, with his track record and his personal attributes of himself— that they are DOUBTLESSLY CONFIDENT IN WHOM THEY HAVE BELIEVED, and they ARE PERSUADED INSIDE THEIR SOULS— THAT HE IS ABLE, AND WILLING:  they are the remnant of believers in Yah.

_______

2 Chronicles 15:8

“And when Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominable idols out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from mount Ephraim— and renewed the altar of the Lord— that was before the porch of the Lord.”

2 Chronicles 32:7

“Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him.”

_______

Here is the key— fear, unbelief, doubt, and more— are sins;  they are lack of trust in God:  and when we do that— we have faith in the enemy and our carnal strength, wits, and reasoning in this world— of a devilish wisdom, not a godly, nor heavenly wisdom of the knowledge of God’s person.

And in these verses we find two keys— those sins and transgression— make IDOLS in our lives:  our own reasoning, wits, strength, doubt, unbelief, confusion, dismay, fear and many other idols— things that stand erect inside of us— that are not God, nor godliness— BUT ARE BOWED TO and UPHELD within.  

It was when the man of God PUT AWAY ALL THE ABOMINABLE IDOLS IN THE LAND— that would be our earthen vessels, spiritually speaking… and when he RENEWED THE ALTAR OF THE LORD— in us, that’s our hearts and what they are really doing and believing inside— that things were now set right with man and God.  

And it was before the porch:  this is where the priest cries out in petition to God— weeping between the porch and the altar— the entrance (the doorway to) the altar;  the place where we lay it all down, our whole lives— and give God ALL OUR ATTENTION, DEDICATION, REVERENCE and TRUST:  this is where true partnership exists in the life of the believer— for we are all priests of the Lord, now.

And there are MORE WITH US (in the spirit realm, serving God) —than there is with the enemy, in the spirit realm;  and not only that— but all dominion and power, and highest rule— has been set in the hand of Christ Jesus, who sits at the right hand of God (his rule and dominion, and strength of) —and he goes with us, and before us— and we know in whom we have believed:  this means— WE KNOW HIS TRACK RECORD, and the TRUTH OF HIS PERSON— and we do not doubt in this.

Proverbs 11:28-31

“He who trusts in his riches— shall fall; but the righteous shall flourish as a branch.

He who troubles his own house— shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

The fruit of the righteous— is a tree of life; and he who wins souls— is wise.

Behold— the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner.”

_______

Keys— if we trust in carnality (riches in the earthly ways) we will fall in relationship with God;  but those who are living upright with God— will flourish like the branch of the Lord— to the tree of life.

He who troubles his own house (vessel— by idolatry and conduct and attributes opposing our Lord) —shall inherit the wind— a substance we cannot see nor grasp onto;  and fools will serve the wise of heart:  this means— the immature will serve the mature in the house of God— wherewith God has been able to cleanse them from unrighteousness (not walking upright with God in his ways, and by his leadership), and reform and conform them to his image again, and hence— this is why they will lead in his house.

Many do not want to submit godly leadership, especially— God himself;  and they resist— by continuing in their own fears, doubts, beliefs, reasonings and pride:  and this will only lead to destruction, and a falling away from God and godliness.

Proverbs 13:1-21

“A wise son hears his father's instruction: but a scorner hears not rebuke.”

2 “A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.

3 He that keeps his mouth— keeps his life: but he that opens wide his lips— shall have destruction.

4 The soul of the sluggard desires— but has nothing: but the soul of the diligent —shall be made fat.

5 A righteous man hates lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and comes to shame.

6 Righteousness keeps him who is upright in the way: but wickedness overthrows the sinner.

7 There is he who makes himself rich— yet has nothing: there is he who makes himself poor— yet has great riches.

8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor hear not rebuke.

9 The light of the righteous— rejoice: but the lamp of the wicked— shall be put out.

10 Only by pride comes contention: but with the well advised— is wisdom.

11 Wealth gotten by vanity —shall be diminished: but he who gathers by labor— shall increase.

12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick: but when the desire comes— it is a tree of life.

13 Whoso despises the word shall be destroyed: but he who fears the commandment shall be rewarded.

14 The law of the wise is —a fountain of life— to depart from the snares of death.

15 Good understanding gives favor: but the way of transgressors is hard.

16 Every prudent man deals with knowledge: but a fool lays open his folly.

17 A wicked messenger falls into mischief: but a faithful ambassador— is health.

18 Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuses instruction: but he that regards reproof shall be honored.

19 The desire accomplished is sweet to the soul: but it is abomination to fools to depart from evil.

20 He who walks with wise men —shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

21 Evil pursues sinners: but to the righteous— good shall be repaid.”

Proverbs 15:2-4

“The tongue of the wise uses knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools pours out foolishness.  3 The eyes of the Lord are in every place— beholding the evil and the good.  4 A wholesome tongue— is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.”

Revelation 2

“Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;  2 I know your works, and your labor— and your patience— and how you cannot bear those who are evil: and you have tried them who say they are apostles— and are not— and have found them liars:  3 And have borne (patience), and have patience— and for my name's sake —have labored, and have not fainted.

4 Nevertheless— I am somewhat against you— because you have left your first love.

5 Remember therefore from whence you are fallen— and repent— and do the first works; or else I will come unto you quickly, and will remove your candlestick out of his place— except you repent.

6 But this you have— that you hate the deeds of the Nicolaitanes— which I also hate.” 

(The Nicolatians— They walked in idolatry, and they assumed the lifestyle of the heathen. They CLAIMED to be Christians, but they practiced sexual sins, upheld liberties and Persian Gnosticism, and they lived in unrestrained indulgences.)

7 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches; To him who overcomes— I will give to eat of the tree of life— which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write— These things says the first and the last— which was dead, and is alive;  9 I know your works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but you are rich) —and I know the blasphemy [vilification, evil speaking, and defamation] of those who say they are Jews— and are not— but are the synagogue of Satan.

10 Fear none of those things which you shall suffer: behold— the devil shall cast some of you into prison— that you may be tried; and you shall have tribulation ten days (the number for godly order): be faithful unto death— and I will give you a crown of life.

11 He who has an ear— let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches; He who overcomes— shall not be hurt of the second death.

12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write— These things says he who has the sharp sword with two edges;  13 I know your works, and where you dwell— even, where Satan's seat is: and you hold fast my name— and have not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you— where Satan dwells.

14 But I have a few things against you— because you have them there who hold to the doctrine [teachings] of Balaam— who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel— to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

15 So have you also those who hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes (sexual immorality and idolatry) —which thing I hate.

16 Repent— or else I will come unto you quickly, and will fight against those with the sword of my mouth.

17 He who has an ear— let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches; To him who overcomes— will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written— which no man knows— save he who receives it.

18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write— These things says the Son of God, who has his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;  19 I know your works, and charity, and service, and faith— and your patience, and your works (of); and the last —to be more than the first (true servants).

20 Notwithstanding— I have a few things against you— because you suffer [tolerate, and allow to remain] that woman Jezebel— who calls herself a prophetess— to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

21 And I gave her space to repent of her fornication— and she repented not.

22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed— and those who commit adultery with her— into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

23 And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he who searches the reins [innermost mind] and hearts [thoughts, feelings, mind]: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

24 But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira— as many as have not this doctrine, and who have not known the depths of Satan— as they speak [relate in discourse] —I will put upon you no other burden;  25 But that which you have already— hold fast till I come.

26 And he who overcomes, and KEEPS MY WORKS— unto the end— to him will I give power over the nations:  27 And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

28 And I will give him the morning star (our Lord’s presence with us).  29 He who has an ear— let him hear what the Spirit says unto the churches.”

Revelation 22:1-2, 10-21

“And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal— proceeding out of the throne of God, and of the Lamb.

2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bore twelve manners of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

10 And he said unto me— Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand.

11 He who is unjust— let him be unjust still: and he who is filthy— let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous— let him be righteous still: and he that is holy— let him be holy still.

12 And, behold— I come quickly; and my reward is with me— to give every man according to his work, shall it be.

13 I am Alpha and Omega— the beginning and the end— the first and the last.

14 Blessed are they who do his commandments— that they may have the right to the tree of life —and may enter in through the gates— into the city.

15 For without [outside] are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers [prostitutes, practicing debauchery, set at liberty— liberally practicing fornication with evil spirits and their ways], and murderers, and idolaters— and whosoever loves (to lie), and makes a lie.

16 I Jesus have sent my angel to testify unto you these things— in the churches [the called out congregation]. I am the root and the offspring of David— and the bright and morning [dawning] star [brightness, or revealing].

17 And the Spirit and the bride say— Come. And let he who hears— say, Come. And let him who is athirst —come.  And whosoever will— let him take the water of life freely.

18 For I testify unto every man who hears the words of the prophecy of this book— If any man shall add unto these things— God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:  19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy— God shall take away his part [allotment or share] out of the book of life— and out of the holy city— and from the things which are written in this book.

20 He who testifies these things— says— Surely I come quickly. Amen. Even so —come, Lord Jesus.  21 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.”

Kenan—  Kenan comes from a root word H7064 that means "fixed dwelling," like a nest or chamber. The word also means "possession." Qeynan (קינן) can mean "to possess," or "to mourn, lament, or sorrow after."  Kenan is also an Irish name that means "ancient."  Kenan is a baby boy name of Hebrew origin. Pronounced KEE-nan, this baby name means “acquire.” From the ancestors of Mother Mary to the son of Enosh, Kenan is associated with brave men in the Old and New Testament.

Kenan [H7064]:  

Genesis 6:14

“Make yourself an ark of gopher wood;  rooms [H7064] shall you make in the ark, and shall pitch it within and without— with pitch.”

_______

In our Father’s house are many mansions, or otherwise known in the Strong’s as— rooms, places, fixed dwelling with God;  and we— in the ark, or in the private partnership abiding with God in his temple (our souls and bodies) —we are to have spaces God indwells us, possesses us, has permanently indwelled— of which the ancient has acquired within us now, and possesses fully— and no longer sorrows after to reconcile:  Kenan.

_______

Numbers 24:21

“And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said— Strong is your dwelling place, and you put your nest [H7064] in a rock.”

_______

Do we dwell in the Rock, are we sharing a room inside of God, a nest, a dwelling place in God, and God in us?

_______

Deuteronomy 22:6-7

“If a bird's nest [H7064] chance to be before you in the way in any tree, or on the ground, whether they be young ones, or eggs— and the dam [mother] sitting upon the young, or upon the eggs— you shall not take the dam with the young:  But you shall in any (or all) wise —let the dam go— and take the young to you; that it may be well with you— and that you may prolong your days.”

_______

Why is this verse in here?  Because we see that length of days, prospering in long life is mentioned several times throughout the compilation of these scripture verses speaking on Rowan and Kenan with the Lord:  and here we see that MERCY— brings you long life, and that we may be well:  it is mercy— to let the adult bird go— if we harvest her eggs— that she may go and prosper more, with her life intact.

_______

Deuteronomy 32

“Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth— the words of my mouth.

2 My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distill as the dew, as the small rain upon the tender herb, and as the showers upon the grass:  3 Because I will publish the name of the Lord: ascribe greatness unto our God.

4 He is the Rock— his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity— just and right is he.

5 They have corrupted themselves— their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.

6 Do you thus requite the Lord— O foolish people and unwise? Is not he your father that has bought you? Has he not made you, and established you?

7 Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask your father, and he will show you; your elders— and they will tell you.

8 When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam— he set the bounds of the people, according to the number of the children of Israel.

9 For the Lord's portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.

10 He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him— he kept him as the apple of his eye.

11 As an eagle stirs up her nest [H7064], flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, takes them, bears them on her wings:  12 So the Lord alone did, as he led him— and there was no strange god with him.

13 He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;  14 Butter of kine, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and you did drink the pure blood of the grape.

15 But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: you are waxen fat, you have grown thick, you are covered with fatness; then he forsook God who made him— and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.

16 They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations they provoked him to anger.

17 They sacrificed unto devils— not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods— that came newly up— whom your fathers feared not.

18 Of the Rock who begat you— you are unmindful, and have forgotten God —who formed you.

19 And when the Lord saw it— he abhorred them— because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.

20 And he said— I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very froward generation— children in whom there is no faith.

21 They have moved me to jealousy with that which is— not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy— with those who are not a people; I will provoke them to anger— with a foolish nation.

22 For a fire is kindled in my anger, and shall burn unto the lowest hell— and shall consume the earth with her increase— and set on fire the foundations of the mountains.

23 I will heap mischiefs upon them; I will spend my arrows upon them.

24 They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat— and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts upon them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.

25 The sword without, and terror within— shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also, with the man of gray hairs.

26 I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:  27 Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say— Our hand is high, and the Lord has not done all this.

28 For they are a nation devoid of counsel— neither is there any understanding in them.

29 O that they were wise, that they understood this— that they would consider their latter end!

30 How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight— except their Rock [God, figuratively in Strong’s] had sold them, and the Lord had shut them up?

31 For their rock [God] is not as our Rock— even our enemies themselves being judges.

32 For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:  33 Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.

34 Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?

35 To me— belongs vengeance [revenge and quarrel] and recompense— their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come upon them— make haste.

36 For the Lord shall judge his people— and repent himself for his servants— when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.

37 And he shall say— Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,  38 Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.

39 See now that I, even I, am he— and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.

40 For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say— I live forever.

41 If I whet my glittering sword, and my hand takes hold on judgment— I will render vengeance [revenge and quarrel] to my enemies, and will reward them who hate me.

42 I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour— flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives— from the beginning of revenges upon the enemy.

43 Rejoice, O nations— with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries— and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

44 And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.

45 And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:  46 And he said unto them— Set your hearts unto all the words which I testify among you this day, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.

47 For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing— you shall prolong your days in the land— whither you go over Jordan to possess it.

48 And the Lord spake unto Moses that selfsame day, saying,  49 Get yourself up into this mountain Abarim, unto mount Nebo— which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel for a possession:  50 And die in the mount whither you go up, and be gathered unto your people; as Aaron your brother died in mount Hor— and was gathered unto his people:  51 Because you trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you sanctified me not in the midst of the children of Israel.

52 Yet you shall see the land before you; but you shall not go thither unto the land which I give to the children of Israel.”

What is coming– and why

Isaiah 10

“Woe unto them who decree unrighteous decrees, and that write grievousness which they have prescribed;  2 To turn aside the needy from judgment, and to take away the right from the poor of my people— that widows may be their prey— and that they may rob the fatherless!

3 And what will you do in the day of visitation, and in the desolation which shall come from far? To whom will you flee for help— and where will you leave your glory?

4 Without me— they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away— but his hand is stretched out still.

5 O Assyrian (today: the Assyrians are the indigenous people of northern Iraq, northwestern Iran, southeastern Turkey, and eastern Syria), the rod of my anger, and the staff in their hand— is my indignation.

6 I will send him against an hypocritical nation— and against the people of my wrath will I give him a charge— to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

7 Howbeit he means not so, neither does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off nations— and not a few.

8 For he saith— Are not my princes altogether kings?

9 Is not Calno— as Carchemish? Is not Hamath— as Arpad? Is not Samaria— as Damascus?

10 As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images did excel them of Jerusalem and of Samaria—  11 Shall I not, as I have done unto Samaria and her idols— so do to Jerusalem and her idols?

12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, that when the Lord has performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem— I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria (today: the Assyrians are the indigenous people of northern Iraq, northwestern Iran, southeastern Turkey, and eastern Syria) —and the glory of his high looks.

13 For he saith— By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am prudent: and I have removed the bounds of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man:  14 And my hand has found as a nest [H7064] —the riches of the people: and as one gathers eggs that are left— have I gathered all the earth; and there was none that moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.

15 Shall the axe boast itself against him who hews therewith? Or shall the saw magnify itself against him who shakes it? As if the rod should shake itself against those who lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself, as if it were no wood.

16 Therefore shall the Lord— the Lord of hosts— send among his fat ones— leanness; and under his glory— he shall kindle a burning— like the burning of a fire.

17 And the light of Israel— shall be for a fire, and his Holy One— for a flame: and it shall burn and devour his thorns and his briers —in one day;  18 And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitful field— both soul and body: and they shall be as when a standard-bearer faints.

19 And the rest of the trees of his forest shall be few— that a child may write [record] them.

20 And it shall come to pass in that day— that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob— shall no more again stay upon him who smote them; but shall stay upon the Lord— the Holy One of Israel, in truth.

21 The remnant shall return— the remnant of Jacob— unto the mighty God.

22 For though your people Israel be as the sand of the sea— yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption— decreed— shall overflow with righteousness.

23 For the Lord God of hosts shall make a consumption— determined— in the midst of all the land.

24 Therefore thus saith the Lord God of hosts— O my people who dwell in Zion— be not afraid of the Assyrian (today: the Assyrians are the indigenous people of northern Iraq, northwestern Iran, southeastern Turkey, and eastern Syria): he shall smite you with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against you— after the manner of Egypt.  25 And for a very little while— and the indignation shall cease, and my anger— in their destruction.

26 And the Lord of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him— according to the slaughter of Midian, at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea— so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.

27 And it shall come to pass— in that day— that his burden shall be taken away from off your shoulder, and his yoke from off your neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.

28 He is come to Aiath— he is passed to Migron; at Michmash he has laid up his carriages:  29 They are gone over the passage: they have taken up their lodging at Geba; Ramah— is afraid; Gibeah of Saul— is fled.  30 Lift up your voice, O daughter of Gallim: cause it to be heard unto Laish, O poor Anathoth.  31 Madmenah is removed; the inhabitants of Gebim gather themselves to flee.

32 As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion— the hill of Jerusalem.

33 Behold, the Lord, the Lord of hosts— shall lop the bough with terror: and the high ones of stature— shall be hewn down— and the haughty shall be humbled.

34 And he shall cut down the thickets of the forest— with iron— and Lebanon shall fall by a mighty one.”

Jeremiah 49:16

“Your terribleness has deceived you, and the pride of your heart— O you, who dwell in clefts of the rock, who hold the height of the hill:  as though you should make your nest [H7064] as high as the eagle— I will bring you down from thence, saith the Lord.”

Obadiah 1:4

“Though you exalt yourself as the eagle, as though you set your nest [H7064] among the stars— thence will I bring you down, saith the Lord.”

Habakkuk 2

“I will stand upon my watch, and set myself upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer— when I am reproved.

2 And the Lord answered me, and said— Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables— that he may run who reads it.

3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarries— wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry (forever).

4 Behold— his soul which is lifted up— is not upright in him: but the just, shall live by his faith.

5 Yes also, because he transgresses by wine— he is a proud man— neither keep his home— who enlarges his desire as hell, and is as death— and cannot be satisfied, but gathers unto him— all nations, and heaps unto him— all people (like the multi cultural ways of America):  6 Shall not all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say— Woe to him that increases in that which is not his!  How long?  And to him that ladeth [dip, cover, honor, glory, promote] himself with thick clay!

7 Shall they not rise up suddenly that shall bite you— and awake, that shall vex you— and you shall be for booties unto them?

8 Because you have spoiled many nations (like America) —all the remnant of the people (other nations) shall spoil you; because of men's blood— and for the violence of the land, of the city— and of all who dwell therein.

9 Woe to him that covets an evil covetousness— to his house— that he may set his nest [H7064] on high— that he may be delivered from the power of evil!

10 You have consulted shame to your house— by cutting off many people— and have sinned against your soul.

11 For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.  12 Woe to him that builds a town— with blood, and establishes a city— by iniquity!

13 Behold, is it not of the Lord of hosts— that the people shall labor in the very fire (they called upon themselves), and the people shall weary themselves— for very (much) vanity [emptiness, worthlessness]?

14 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea.

15 Woe unto him that gives his neighbor drink, who puts your bottle to him, and makes him drunken also— that you may look on their nakedness!

16 You are filled with shame— for glory: drink yourself also, and let your foreskin (symbolic of no covenant with God or holiness, uncovered— not clothed in righteousness, and FLESHLY) be uncovered (shown to all): the cup of the Lord's right hand— shall be turned unto you, and shameful spewing shall be on your glory.

17 For the violence of Lebanon shall cover you, and the spoil of beasts, which made them afraid— because of men's blood, and for the violence of the land— of the city, and of all that dwell therein.

18 What profits the graven image— that the maker thereof has graven it; the molten image— and a teacher of lies— that the maker of his work trusts in— to make dumb idols?

19 Woe unto him who says to the wood (idolatry) —Awaken; to the dumb stone— Arise, it shall teach!  Behold— it is laid over with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all in the midst of it.

(This symbolized that the fleshly and idolatrous people, who serve not the Lord God in their souls, nor his righteousness— have been given to selfish gains (Mammon) in this lifetime and realm— and have gone into idolatry, and called it forth to awaken and arise— in their souls:  and they TEACH IT TO OTHERS, they exemplify this to others in their actions, words, and conduct.  WOE— he says, comes to them.)

20 But the Lord is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him.”

Rowan and Kenan— two words the Lord brought to me in a dream, about a week ago, now;  and two words that have said SO much— in all they have described in scripture, and in life with God.

Rowan—  a name (character and authority of that character) associated with courage, strength, and wisdom, as well as— protection, good fortune or prosperity (long life, and abundance) to the bearer of;  as it represents life with God, the tree or rooted system we are grounded into of God himself and his character and leadership in our lives:  the Tree of Life.  Of which the leaves (for the healing of people, hearts/souls/minds/bodies— the sound whole of them) are symmetrical (same as like God, on all sides of the stem/vine);  and of which speaks of the essence of life itself and creation, and brings the river that comes of Paradise itself, the throne of God into the garden of God (the souls of men, the heart, mind, thoughts, emotions, will and actions of deeds— expressed bodily) —to each and every man, which is the Spirit of God that flows unto every child of God.

And this life we have lived with God, we have lived through much, endured, overcome harsh conditions set against us in this life, have tolerated much, and have become hardy— and have moved up higher on the mountain of God because of our ability to endure in faith/trust in God, and handle what others could not at the summit of the mountain, or life with God— and have now been domesticated to life with God, in godliness of character— worthy of the name of Christ Jesus in our lives— as we exemplify the Father to world, being brethren born after Christ himself:  we are no longer wild, untamed, nor doing our own leadership of self in this lifetime, and have been converted.

These do not grow too big for their boundaries set by Yah in their lives, they are obedient, reverent, submissive, love God— and his commandments and statutes in their lives, and in this— are protected by God, as they have him really erected as most highly regarded inside of their vessels:  and in this, idolatry of unclean spirits, their ways and attributes are kept away, and their vessels remain cleaned out and filled with the God of holiness and truth:  and all power of the flesh is killed— witchcraft— and they are set free from the bonds of sin, death, and hell:  they are the children of God.

And also, Kenan— where God comes to have a fixed dwelling within man, a permanent place in which he is the leadership, the Father figure, the counselor, the teacher of man— in the ways of God, and godliness (walking in his ways);  where he is a jealous God, jealous to recover us— his creation made in his image, in which we have perverted, and turned from inside:  to possess us again.

He mourns, laments and sorrows after us, and union with us again— in a reconciled relating inside:  we think relationship, much of the time— but do we recall that relationship— is a partnership wherewith we RELATE to one another (no unreconciled differences), that is— we come into agreement to be like/same/as in our inner person, to be in union, be returned to, and re-conformed into his image once again:  this is RELATING-SHIP (relating to one another, in a marriage) with God holy.

He is coming to acquire that which is his;  did you give your life to him, with your mouth and your free will choice— when you received him as your God, Savior and Lord?

Well— get ready for him to recover you in all your parts then— because you also agreed to marry him, and he will have a clean, spotless, ironed out, wrinkle free partner— which means— one who looks, speaks, acts, thinks, and resembles him again:  one who has chosen to be one with him, in all his ways and person.

He is the ancient one, the Ancient of Days— and he’s coming to perfect a partner for his Son— YahShua being the Godhead bodily;  this means— the parts of God, all his parts— are given to the body, the word, the Son of God;  and we will partner with him, and the Spirit, and the Father— all in one— forevermore.

In that— we are to walk the paths he walks (righteous, ancient paths, the archetype in which we were created);  we are to be re-conformed into his likeness once again, we are to bow to his leadership in us, we are to desire to walk in only his fruits (conduct), and we are called to serve him first, and then the others— as we walk in only his fruits— becoming servants of the Lord, righteousness, truth, mercy, grace, love— and all other attributes of God and godliness:  we are to be born again, born anew into all that God is:  for he desires to take his whole person— AND LIVE BODILY IN YOU NOW— as he did with the Son, YahShua Ha Maschiach, Jesus the Christ.

We are the anointed ones now, for the anointed one himself dwells within us— and when he does not indwell us, nor are we given over to him or godliness— but yet we have given ourselves to him in a word of commitment, with our covenant vows we made to him when we received him, and his sacrifice, and his leadership and ownership of us into our lives— with his accomplishment on the Cross…

He will come with reproof, chastisement, correction, refinement of fire, and tribulation— over an unruly house, a household who will not be submissive, reverent, like/same/as him, converted, nor ruled by him inside their vessels:  and he is jealous to recover us— so he will then correct his household, and the nations will shake.

This is coming, and this is because we have not willingly given ourselves over to righteousness, nor the King of:  and he’s coming to establish his rule in the earth (that’s our vessels, each and every one), and he will come with fire to cleanse his people, his bride, and the earth of her fornication with devils, idolatry, rebellion, witchcraft, dishonor, and disobedience to his lordship, his kingship, his fatherhood, and his person.

We will see great tribulation and refining fire— because he comes to deal with the rebellious, the disobedient, the unruly, the ones challenging his kingship— as they have become their own kings— laying down their one rulership within their vessels, and likewise will have no other master or lord over them, nor allow him to father them in his ways, correct them, humble themselves to him, nor serve him— but serve themselves, and indulge in things he does not— walking out witchcraft, or otherwise known as— wielding the powerful image of God that we are made in, in fleshly ways, carnal ways, and in opposition (fighting, as an enemy) to God.

If he desires that none should perish, but that all would repent and be saved— we should understand— this is for just that;  he will now show us the error of our ways, in great calamity and woe, brought to the house of God, and the nations— for they have gotten into bed with each other, and the ways of Babylon, Balaam, and the Nicolations— have gotten into the people— and they indulge in their sin, and repent not.

So— in order to honor and recompense those who are walking out Rowan with him, respecting him, in obedience to him, serving him, his ways of righteousness, and his people— he will come in with the power of Kenan— a jealous love to recover his people, in which he sorrows over, and after, with a jealous love to save, deliver, refine, redeem, and recover from the clutches of satan and the carnal ways— to walk the paths of righteousness, on the highway of holiness once again, with the Ancient of Days— erect and accounted for within their vessels:  the Godhead bodily in us.

To dwell with us, inside, in a permanent, respectful, obedient and honoring vessel (us), forevermore— is his desire in this earth:  and he is coming to acquire just this.

Let us remember Rowan, through Kenan— is his goal:  oneness— in strength and courage of faith/trust in God, walked out by his wise counsel as the father of our ways, the counselor of our souls, ridding us of an evil spirit and fleshly, carnal, witchcraft ways—  through acquiring our souls unto him again, possessing us truly— as he mourns and sorrows over us being opposites inside our person, as an enemy, as an opponent to him and his ways:  as the Ancient of Days sends forth his sword of truth and dominion to recover us— through great shaking (tribulation), woe, and calamity— unto those who call themselves by his name, but with souls that are far from walking with him in his ways.

He comes to recover— and he will pull some from the fires of refinement, as will his servants— and some will be saved from their pride, selfishness, idolatry, rebellion, uncleanness, disobedience, irreverence, and devilish indulgences;  as he now brings in the person of the Lord himself— to a wicked and adulterous generation;  and in so— the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea:  and we will usher in the kingdom reign of Christ— in the earth, especially— our own vessels; and will usher in— the Millennial Reign of Christ.

Through fire— will many be saved;  he himself shall be saved— yet so as by fire 

(1 Corinthians 3:15):  we are the wheat or the chaff, wheat will come through refinement and be re-conformed— chaff will resist this salvation;  and he is coming with fire to refine, save, and recover— those who will humble themselves before him, serve him in their earth, and lay their lives down— given to his conduct and person— conducting their vessel:  to go unto the rest of the dying world, and harold the good news of Christ Jesus and his salvation offer to all:  and to work the great co-laboring mission of God, in the earth realm:  pulling many from the fire.

Have compassion with some— making a difference, Jude said, right before this;  but with others, he said…

Jude 1:23

“And (or but, with) others— save with fear (trembling) —pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh.”

This is how he will save many— through fire.

He is coming, and with him, is his reward.

He is the reward.
