BLOOD AND WATER

Alexandra MendezLeave a comment

John 5:6-8 This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three are in agreement.

Hebrews 10:19-24 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus, by the new and living way that He opened for us through the curtain, that is, through His flesh, and since we have a great priest over the house of God, let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.

Blood
Gen 3:21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them. (He shed the animals’ blood to cover their sin)

Exodus 12:5-7 Your lamb must be an unblemished year-old male, and you may take it from the sheep or the goats. You must care for it until the fourteenth day of the month, when the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel will slaughter the animals at twilight. They are to take some of the blood and put it on the two sideposts and tops of the doorframes of the houses in which they eat the lambs. (a shadow of the crucifixion)

Leviticus 16:14-16 He is to take blood from the ox and sprinkle it with his forefinger toward the surface of the Mercy Seat. Then he is to sprinkle the blood on the surface of the Mercy Seat with his forefinger seven times. He is to slaughter the male goat as a sin offering for the people and bring its blood beyond the curtain and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bull: He is to sprinkle it on the Mercy Seat—that is, over the surface of the Mercy Seat. Then he is to make atonement on the sacred place on account of the uncleanness of the Israelites, their transgressions, and all their sins. This is how he is to act in the Tent of Meeting, which will remain with them in the middle of their uncleanness. (today the Sacrificial Lamb lives to intercede for us at the right hand of the Father, as stated in Romans 8:34, Revelation 5:9, 12)

Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement for your souls; for it is the blood by reason of the life that makes atonement.

Zechariah 9:11 As for you also, because of the blood of my covenant with you, I will set your prisoners free from the waterless pit.

Matthew 26:27-28 And when He had taken a cup and given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you; for this is My blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for forgiveness of sins.

Romans 3:25 whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed;

Ephesians 1:7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of His grace.

1 Peter 1:18-19 knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers, but with precious blood, as of a lamb unblemished and spotless, the blood of Christ.

Revelation 7:14 I said to him, “My lord, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb (parallels Rev 22:14).

Water
Gen 2:10 Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers.
Gen 16:7 Now the angel of the Lord found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.

Genesis 16:13-14 Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her, “You are a God who sees”; for she said, “Have I even remained alive here after seeing Him?” Therefore the well was called Beer-lahai-roi; behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

Genesis 21:19 Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water; and she went and filled the skin with water and gave the lad a drink.

Genesis 21:30-31 He said, “You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand so that it may be a witness to me, that I dug this well.” Therefore he called that place Beersheba, because there the two of them took an oath.
Genesis 26:18 Then Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the same names which his father had given them. (YHVH is a covenant God)

Ezekiel 47:1-12 Then he brought me back to the door of the house; and behold, water was flowing from under the threshold of the house toward the east, for the house faced east. And the water was flowing down from under, from the right side of the house, from south of the altar. He brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around on the outside to the outer gate by way of the gate that faces east. And behold, water was trickling from the south side. When the man went out toward the east with a line in his hand, he measured a thousand cubits, and he led me through the water, water reaching the ankles. Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the knees. Again he measured a thousand and led me through the water, water reaching the loins. Again he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not ford, for the water had risen, enough water to swim in, a river that could not be forded. He said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he brought me back to the bank of the river. Now when I had returned, behold, on the bank of the river there were very many trees on the one side and on the other. Then he said to me, “These waters go out toward the eastern region and go down into the Arabah; then they go toward the sea, being made to flow into the sea, and the waters of the sea become fresh. It will come about that every living creature which swarms in every place where the river goes, will live. And there will be very many fish, for these waters go there and the others become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. And it will come about that fishermen will stand beside it; from Engedi to Eneglaim there will be a place for the spreading of nets. Their fish will be according to their kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea, very many. But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they will be left for salt. By the river on its bank, on one side and on the other, will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither and their fruit will not fail. They will bear every month because their water flows from the sanctuary, and their fruit will be for food and their leaves for healing.”

Zechariah 14:8 And in that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter.

Psalm 23:2 He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters.

Psalm 36:8 They drink their fill of the abundance of Your house; And You give them to drink of the river of Your delights.

Psalm 46:4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, The holy dwelling places of the Most High.

Isaiah 41:18 I will open rivers on the bare heights And springs in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water and the dry land fountains of water.

Isaiah 66:12 For thus says the Lord, “Behold, I extend peace to her like a river, And the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream; And you will be nursed, you will be carried on the hip and fondled on the knees.

Matthew 3:6 and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, as they confessed their sins.

Matthew 17:15 “Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic and is very ill; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.” (A brother in the faith shared his perspective during a bible study, saying he see this as symbolic of intercession; the father prays for his son, who falls into the fire, and through his father’s prayers the boy falls into the Living Waters of mercy)

John 7:37-39 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

John 4:10 And in that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter.

Rev 7:17 For the Lamb in the center of the throne will be their shepherd. He will lead them to fountains of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.

Rev 22:1 Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb.

PROPHETIC DREAM 3

Alexandra MendezLeave a comment

This dream was from last year.

I’m in what looks like a library but you can also purchase books there. I purchase some books and leave them along with my purse on the table. I go to look for more books on the shelves and hear the young people at the table next to mine snickering at my book collection. Apparently they weren’t fans of christians. When I go back to the table to gather my books and leave, I see my belongings have disappeared.

I go to the librarian to express my alarm at my books and purse being stolen and she simply reprimands me for “making too much noise.” I’m angry as I search for my things and go to each table one by one to ask if they saw anything. The kids that were mocking me just minutes before get up from their seats and help me search. The leader of the crew even goes to the librarian with some choice words for her. I’m pleasantly surprised at his support.

The books and purse are my faith and livelihood. In the coming days of persecution both will be severely tested and hard to come by for believers. The librarian represents the government who wants to silence us and secular society who could care less about our plight. The young people are the non christians who may ridicule our beliefs but who are moved with compassion and eventually show us kindness. No matter how bad it gets, the Lord will send ravens to feed his servant (1 Kings 17:6). I pray this blesses you.

PROPHETIC DREAM 1

Alexandra MendezLeave a comment

This was at least three years ago.
It’s dark out, not a normal darkness but absolute pitch black. I sensed danger and did not want to go outside. I’m in a house with a handful of strangers, we’re getting to know one another. We’re all concerned with what’s happening outside, apparently complete wickedness was being practiced and our lives are in danger. We encourage one another, saying people need our help.

We have a mountain of empty water bottles that we know need to fill. We each take as many as possible and agree to step out. Upon opening the door we see it has turned to day, the sun is shining. There is a large body of water between the house and the rest of the world. We fill our empty bottles with water and each head out in different directions. When I woke up from the dream, the Holy Spirit said to me, “You are to bear one another’s burdens.”

I remember sharing this on my old Facebook account and asking my friends to share any interpretation they might have. Within five minutes someone tagged me on another post sharing the same bible verse. It was then that I understood the dream.
The house of strangers represents the church, the body of Christ, believers in the end times. Wickedness will have encompassed the land, as we are seeing the satanic agenda slowly and carefully being pushed.

Gay marriage being legalized has opened the door to transgender rights, which is now pushing for children to have the legal right to be transgender without the need of parental approval. This in turn will push pedophilia; now, pedophiles are being called pedosexuals and minor attracted persons (MAP). To top it all off will be the conditioning and legalization of bestiality, incest, and people demanding the right to marry inanimate objects-these are all currently being fought for.

AI (artificial intelligence) is being introduced into society and is expected to become the norm, with the public having been conditioned for decades through television and film. Dozens of new genders are being introduced, including the clover gender, which gives grown men the right to demand that society accept them as little girls trapped in men’s bodies. And this is just the tip of the iceberg, folks.

The church is expected to fully embrace all of this if they want to keep their 501c3 status. Pastors are already being handed written orders by the government to push particular environmental agendas; inevitably they will be required to accept these new sexual norms of society. I have prophesied this and shared repeatedly: in another forty years the church will have drag queens making altar calls while animals run around the sanctuary-and they are not just for sacrifice.

It will be at this time that the true men and women of God will rise and refuse to accept this sacrilege. The church of Christ will be driven underground. All the stories we read about the persecuted church in countries like China and in the Middle East will become our reality here in the States.

The empty bottles and the large body of water represent the gospel. We are to fill them with the Living Water and satisfy the thirst of a lost and dying world. The Living Water separates us from the land: we are a set apart people, in the world but not of it. The sun (Son) shines and overcomes the darkness. We walk in the light of Christ. I pray this blesses you.

PROPHETIC DREAM 2

Alexandra MendezLeave a comment

This dream was over six months after the first one I shared.
Again, it’s dark out. I’m in the city but at the same time I’m in the country, surrounded by tall, dry grass. There are strangers all around me but we’re all at a distance from one another. I’m alone, as are others, while some are in small groups of family or friends. I can sense how dangerous it is to be out, but we are all stuck where we are. Out of the blue a pride of lions appear and walk towards us. I’m frozen in shock and fear, as is everyone else. We’re all holding our breath as the lions get closer, and I honestly believe I will be mauled. However, instead of attacking, each lion joins a group or individual and walks behind him, facing the other direction. The lions are there to protect us. They have our back.
The lion is Christ. He is the Lion of Judah (Revelation 5:5). The righteous are bold as a lion (Proverbs 28:1). Christ will send His angels to encompass us. We need not fear what is to come. I pray this blesses you.

CONFRONTING THE SPIRIT OF FEAR

Alexandra MendezLeave a comment

As a child and throughout my adult life the spirit of fear had a tight grip on me. I remember a co-worker making a sly comment about how many times I would say I was afraid of this or that. For those of you that don’t know my story, I come from a long line of Jezebels (please see The Jezebel Spirit). It took a number of years for me to be completely delivered from this destructive spirit and all it’s familiar spirits, fear being one of them.

I truly believe most if not all prophets enter into a lifelong battle with spirits of fear and discouragement. Depression is another one. The prophetic is a lonely mantle, and depression is always lurking. Fear, however, seems to be the spirit with which we have to be on constant guard.

Lets look at a few biblical examples. Elijah was gripped with fear after Queen Jezebel’s threats. Mind you, he had just won a major victory against this witch, yet ran in terror at her death threat. John the Baptist sat in jail and was plagued with doubt over Jesus being the Messiah-after having witnessed the revelation directly from YHVH Himself! Why? Fear had wrapped it’s ice cold tentacles around his heart after the evil Herodias, another Jezebel, had manipulated her husband, King Herod, first to put John in jail, then to have the prophet’s head lopped off. Even the Apostle Paul had bouts of depression laced with fear and doubt but I believe that unlike past prophets Paul had the advantage of the spirit filled, praying church in constant intercession for him; more importantly, Paul had the Comforter Himself, the Holy Spirit.

The spirit of fear is very real and has many faces. Fear will steal your joy and rob you of your peace (Job 3:25). It will trick you into doubting God and disobeying His orders, which will only result in disastrous consequences (Genesis 19:29-38, Matthew 25:24-30). Perhaps this is why throughout the bible the Lord admonishes us to “fear not”. Brethren, we have an arsenal of weapons made available to us. Read the word daily, spend time in prayer, fast from food and worldly entertainment. Don’t let fear bully you; push back, Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. The enemy may be the prince of this world, but you are co heirs with Christ. I pray this blesses you.

PRAYER AGAINST WITCHCRAFT

Alexandra MendezLeave a comment

Please read my post Subtle And Overt Witchcraft for examples. If you know for certain you are being attacked by a witch, I recommend doing a clean sweep of your home. Look for anything the witch or warlock has given you as a gift. This is their point of contact with you and can use it to spy on you (through the demons attached to the object) as well as astral project into your home. Please read my post Anointing Oil.

Once you have a clear understanding of what it means to anoint your home, go through the steps carefully and prayerfully. Pray over each object to remove it’s attachment to you and throw it out.

If you have never had them in your home but have eaten with the witch or wizard, they may be using the saliva from your eating utensil (a sister in Christ went through this experience, so I know it is very possible). It is extremely important to cut off all ties with the witch and break any connection with them.

Please pray the following prayer after anointing your home. Make sure you anoint yourself and put on the full armor (read my post The Full Armor):

Warfare Prayer
Heavenly Father, I come before Your throne of mercy and ask you to free me from the bondage this witch (or warlock) has placed me in. I plead the redeeming blood of Christ to pay for my deliverance. Break the chains and free me from the cage I have been locked in spiritually. Father please send warring angels to battle and overcome this witch’s demons sent to torment me. I blind their spying eyes with hot pokers covered by the blood of Christ. I cut out their tongues with the sword of the Spirit covered in the blood of the Lamb. I make them deaf by putting into their ears hot wax covered in the blood of the Messiah.

Cage them in the same cage I had been placed in and cover it with the precious Blood. Send back these demons defeated, deaf, dumb and blind to their mistress (master). I ask You to leave her (him) no room for doubt that I have the Living God protecting me. Lord, if it be Your will send back seven fold every curse that she (he) has sent to me so that she (he) is shaken to the core and repents. I claim this witch (warlock) for the Kingdom of Christ and prophetically write her (his) name in the Lamb’s book of life. May this servant of darkness be set free and become a faithful and powerful servant of the Lord Jesus Christ.

It is easy to get angry and wish them harm, but they are just lost, as you and I once were. Pray for your enemy. Imagine the damage that witch or warlock can do to the kingdom of darkness if someone cared enough to pray for their salvation. I pray this blesses you.

THE BLOOD HAS PURCHASING POWER

Alexandra MendezLeave a comment

The blood of Christ redeems (Zechariah 9:11, 11:12-13, Matthew 27:9-10, which refers to Jeremiah 32:7-9, Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:14). In chronos, Jesus died on the cross a little over 2,000 years ago. In kairos, however, He was the sacrificial Lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world (Revelation 13:8). So long before you were born, Christ made the conscious decision to be brutalized, scorned, mocked and killed in order to redeem you from sin and sin’s wages, death (Romans 6:23). He bought you with the purchasing power of His blood.
This means that any blood covenant made between you and a gang, a coven or anyone can be broken and that spiritual contract deemed null and void once you accept Christ as your Lord and Savior. His precious blood covers, redeems and purchases your freedom. If you have made a contract with any of these groups or an individual, once you accept Christ in your heart and declare it with your mouth (please see my Self Deliverance post) then you can simply say the following prayer aloud:
Lord Jesus, thank You for freeing me from that bondage. I now declare my past affiliation(s) erased both in the spirit and in the natural. I render any and all contracts null and void. The blood of Jesus has paid for my freedom; it is the escape clause in every contract. I am no longer bound to (state the name of the gang, coven, group or individual). I have been set free by my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. May the pact this bloodline has now made with You never be broken. I declare this in complete assurance in the powerful name of Jesus of Nazareth. Amen.

Please, seek the Lord while He may still be found (Isaiah 55:6). I pray this blesses you.

SELF DELIVERANCE

Alexandra MendezLeave a comment

A simple yet complete step by step guide to remove generational curses, soul ties and strongholds. Please be completely honest with yourself and with YHWH. This post is specifically for born again Christians; I don’t suggest you complete these steps if you have not surrendered your life to Christ. Make sure you are born again and are committed to living a sanctified life set apart and dedicated to Him. Looking for quick relief from torment only to go back to the very addiction, persons or places to which you were in bondage is extremely dangerous. Christ Himself warns that when a demon leaves, he will immediately look to return to what he considers his home, bringing seven more demons with him (Luke 11:26).

Deliverance is not a game, nor is it to be taken lightly. Over and over, we see in the bible that YHWH is a God of covenants (yes, even in the New Testament!): enter into covenant with Him today. Make the commitment to start a brand new life, denouncing whatever it was that had you bound.

How do you become born again? “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved” (Romans 10:9). Once you have made this confession of faith, ask for the baptism of the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:5 and 8, Acts 2:38, 1 Corinthians 12:13, Romans 6:1-4). Pray for the Lord to place you in a full gospel church that preaches repentance. Although it isn’t necessary for salvation I do suggest getting water baptized in your church.

Reading the Word is vitally important. Science in many aspects is right in line with Scripture: nature abhors a vacuum. As you are about to purge spiritually, it is vital that you fill that vacuum with the Holy Spirit. It takes seventy-two hours to read the bible cover to cover. Even if you only read for one hour a day, you will complete it in ten weeks. I also strongly suggest going on a week-long fast to prepare yourself for deliverance. So you understand exactly what you will be facing as you ask the Lord to deliver you, let me explain demonic spirits, soul ties and strongholds as simply as possible.

Soul tie: we get this term from 1 Sam 18:1, which states that the souls of Jonathan and David were knit together. Not every soul tie is demonic or toxic; most people have (or should have) healthy soul ties to their loved ones.

Strongman: demons understand rank and authority. They have the strongman (Matthew 12:29) and its familiar spirits. A good illustration is the skull and the spine attached to it. The skull is the strongman and each familiar spirit is a disc in the attached spine.

Stronghold: there are many verses in the Old Testament that speak of strongholds whenever the Israelites went into battle with an enemy and attacked their cities. Most notable is the battle of Jericho (Joshua 5:13-20). It was the Israelites’ obedience and praise that won them the victory. A stronghold can be a behavior or an addiction. Not only do you need to be delivered from it, you must retrain your thought patterns and discipline yourself to not fall back into it. This means making some serious life adjustments.

It is important to identify and bind the strongman first in order to cast out its familiar spirits. In some cases, serious strongholds and generational curses may take a stronger anointing; if you sense that seven days won’t be long enough, continue for another two weeks and complete a twenty-one day fast. It will be a whole lot easier on your body and spirit. If you are married or engaged, please have your spouse/fiance do this with you. Make every effort to enter into the covenant of marriage free from bondage. I pray this blesses you. Remember, Christ came to set the captives free!

First and foremost, anoint yourself. Grab a pen and paper and write down the names of all past lovers. Then, write the names any family members, friends (both past and current) and even co-workers with whom you have toxic relationships or with whom you just don’t get along. As you begin the process you may feel nauseous or actually vomit-don’t be frightened. This is perfectly natural and is even alluded to in Leviticus 18:25: “And the land is defiled: therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.” You may want to have a wastepaper basket or tissue handy.

Say the following out loud: I break any and all soul ties with (say the names of the men and women with whom you have had sexual encounters of any kind). I send the piece of their souls back to each one, I take back the pieces of my soul that were left with them and I remove the residual DNA left in my body and theirs. I break any vow or covenant made with (name them one by one) and release them, as I also release myself. Father forgive me for any sexual deviancy, abominable acts, perversion and relations committed outside of the marriage bed. (This includes homosexuality/lesbianism, incest, bestiality and use of objects or sex toys. Do not be ashamed, simply repent.) I seal those doors behind me with the blood of Christ.

Now go through the rest of your list: Father, I sever all unhealthy soul ties with (name each person). I am sorry for harboring resentment towards them and release them as I release myself from bondage. Lord please teach me to develop healthy relationships with (whomever you wish to keep in your life, as long as they are not a danger to you or your christian walk). I forgive them for any wrongdoing. I also forgive myself and am heartily sorry for any wrong I have done to them. That is all now covered under the Blood.

This may sound odd, but we can indeed have soul ties with the dead. If you have suffered abuse and/or harbor bitterness and resentment towards the person who hurt you and who is now dead, you must make the conscious decision to forgive them and sever that tie. Think about it: you are dragging around a corpse in the spirit. Release them.

Now let us cover generational curses. This is vital! Someone needs to end the toxic cycles that plague your family, generation after generation. Think of any specific issue that seems to repeat itself in your family: that’s a generational curse. And to be crystal clear: even if it doesn’t affect you, it just might come after your children and their descendants. Don’t adopt the attitude of King Hezekiah (2 Kings 20:16-19). Please be the one in your family who is brave enough to face those demons and slay them.

Suggested Prayer:
“Father I come before Your throne of grace and humbly set before You my family. I ask You to break off of me any generational curses brought upon me by the sins committed by ancestors from both my mother and father’s bloodlines. I declare any and all generational curses covered under the blood. Neither I nor my descendants shall suffer the penalty of my ancestors’ sins. I break any demonic covenants and altars erected by any of my ancestors from either side of my family, including masonry and witchcraft.” Now ask the Holy Spirit to reveal every familiar spirit attached to each generational demon and renounce them one by one. Be as methodical and thorough as possible. If you reach a point in which you sense something surface but cannot identify it, simply say, “whatever stubborn spirit hiding must leave me right now in Jesus precious name!” Use godly wisdom and discernment. For instance, if you find yourself on the floor denounce every spirit holding you bound on the floor. Say aloud, “I renounce every evil, demonic inheritance and replace them with a godly inheritance to my bloodline, both in spirit and in the natural as stated in Proverbs 13:22.” Every generational curse is now covered under the Blood.

“Lastly, I renounce (any current strongholds-cigarettes, drugs, alcohol, fornication, overeating, etc.) and cast out each familiar spirit attached to them. I seal every last open door with the precious blood of the Lamb. Father, I take my cue from Genesis 3:14 and assign guardian angels to stand guard at my eye, mouth and eargates. Do not let me reopen those doors, ever. May the pact this bloodline has now made with You never be broken. Lord, take this newly cleaned vessel and make it a vessel of honor filled with the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 2:20-21). In Jesus’ mighty name I pray. Amen.”

Once you feel at peace you will know your deliverance is complete, or as much as the Lord will allow in His perfect timing. The key is truly wanting to be set free. All the Lord wants is a willing vessel. He will take care of the rest. As time progresses the Holy Spirit will continue to reveal other spirits that you need to be delivered from. Your Heavenly Father is merciful and gracious and will not burden you with more than you can bear. He will reveal them a bit at a time, so that you are not overwhelmed (Deuteronomy 7:22). Obey the Holy Spirit and renounce the bondage to each spirit immediately.

It doesn’t have to be a long, drawn out process. As you mature in your faith it becomes easier. Continue to fast and pray, read your Word daily and live a holy life. Do not wander from the shadow of YHWH’s wing (Psalm 91). Keep pressing in. “And ye shall seek Me, and find Me, when ye shall search for Me with all your heart.”-Jeremiah 29:13
