One thing that most of us have discovered through experience, is that if it does not come from God it’s completely worthless. But then at the same time we know the danger of operating as a solo act, or even worse when there is authority over us finding that we’re not in perfect sync with the perfect will of God. What I am clearly talking about is the precious diamond that every visionary person is seeking ~ for the perfect will of God and the perfect authority to protect you.
When I was a young man of about 24 years I learned one of the greatest lessons, that has affected my entire life, from the Chinese teacher “Watchmen Nee”. In his Christian book on spiritual authority he talked about the many classical stories in the Bible ~ where being under authority is very important to success, and not failure, in your life. The lessons that he talked about were so important, and impacted in my life to such a degree, that it has caused me to stay under my mother’s authority until even today when she is 92 years old.
My family and I just completed a tour of Europe where we witnessed the castles and the splendor of rulership over the last 2000 years. We also noticed how men and women learned how to be under authority ~ and because of this were given great authority. But there is another lesson that was a little harder to see.
This is when rulers are under authority, and at the same time are humble and submitted to the presence of God. Those rulers did things that ended up affecting the entire continent of Europe. They were in submission in their personal relationship with Jesus Himself, and Jesus gave them great visions that became the inspiration for we now call the Renaissance.
So we see that it is not just vision alone that is important. There were leaders like Louis XVI, who had great vision but it did not include a personal relationship with Christ ~ and it resulted in the French Revolution. We know that true visions come from God. Yet we also realize that new wine, lasting visions cannot be done single-handedly but require a group effort. That’s why our church, “A Place To Meet Jesus,” must submit to visions from God as a group effort as we see the next Renaissance unfold around us. And hopefully the world will join in and open up the doors to even colonize outer space!
Apostle Paul wrote these powerful words: “All this energy issues from Christ: God raised Him from death and set Him on a throne in deep heaven, in charge of running the universe, everything from galaxies to governments, no name and no power exempt from His rule. And not just for the time being, but forever. He is in charge of it all, has the final word on everything. At the center of all this, Christ rules the church. The church, you see, is not peripheral to the world; the world is peripheral to the church. The church is Christ’s body, in which He speaks and acts, by which He fills everything with His presence.”
Obviously the vision that God has given us is so great it is impossible for us to achieve it in any manner by ourselves. For this reason we must take these instructions given to us in the Scripture to heart: “Go to now, ye that say, ‘To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain’: Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. For that ye ought to say, ‘If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.’ But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.”
God is about to lay out and uncover the great visions of the future for us. But let us not start drawing up schedules and plans based on what we see in the future, but instead follow follow, FOLLOW, FOLLOW His presence!
A Place To Meet Jesus 
Brother Richard the Revelation that you received in relationship to the Seven Umbrellas was a true Word from the Lord. The Seven Umbrellas represent Seven Cities of Refuge throughout the World in relationship to the Seven Major Continents. There are Seven Last Days Kingdom Governmental Apostles of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah who will be over these Seven Major Ports (Cities of Refuge).
Jerusalem is the Central Hub that will connect to these Seven Major Cities throughout the World like Spokes in a Wheel or Umbrella forming a Huge Umbrella. A Wheel (Hub) within a Wheel. These Seven Cities in turn are Central Hubs forming the Seven Umbrellas in relationship to the Seven Major Continents.
The Churches under the leadership and covering of the Ascension Gifted Apostles who connected to these Seven Cities (Governmental Centers) under the Authority of the Seven Governmental Apostles will form these Seven Umbrellas (Place of Refuge). They will create a Ring of Fire.
San Francisco is one of these Cities of Refuge. The Central Hub in relationship to the Umbrella that will be formed over the Continent of North America. There is a Major Connection between Jerusalem the Eastern Gate also referred to as the Golden Gate and San Francisco the Western Gate (Golden Gate). The Doors that are opening for Brother Gershom in relationship to the Governments of the Nation of Israel is very important for the Work that God is doing in this hour.
Shanghai China is another one of these Center Hubs who is connected to Israel and the City of Jerusalem. China is a Friend of Israel. And there is a Major connection between the City of San Francisco and Shanghai China.
Cape Town South Africa is another one of these Center Hubs that will connect to Israel and the City of Jerusalem. South Africa is a Friend of Israel. And there is a Major Connection between Cape Town South Africa and the City of San Francisco.
Sydney Australia is another one of these Central Hubs that will connect to Israel and the City of Jerusalem. Australia is a Friend of Israel.
PS: It is one thing to have the Revelation it is another thing to have the Understanding of the Revelation.
“THE TRANSITION FROM PENTECOST TO TABERNACLES”
The 12 Apostles of the Lamb were Fathered by God (Jesus) they were not schooled and train by the Leaders of the Old Order (Pharisees). They did not submit themselves to the Leaders of the Religious Order of that Day and come under their Authority.
It was because the Jews in Judea and the Leaders of the Religious Order in Jesus day refused to receive the 12 Apostles of the Lamb that the Temple was destroyed and over a Million Jews were slaughtered. They refused to come under Jesus Wings (12 Apostles).
We see another example of those who refused to make the transition from the old order to the new order that God was establishing in relationship to the House of Saul and the House of David. Only the Tribe of Judah and a Remnant of the Tribe of Levi made the transition and went with David the other 11 Tribes and their Leaders remained true to the House of Saul under the rule of Saul’s Son.
The Nominal Church in this hour is like the House of Saul. Only a Remnant of the Ascension Gifted Church Age Apostles in this hour will make the Transition and embrace and come Under the Authority of the 12 Last Days Kingdom Governmental Apostles of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah.
We need both the Ascension Gifted Apostles and the Last Days Kingdom Governmental Apostles working Hand in Hand with the Establishing of God Kingdom on the Earth in this hour. A Network of Ascension Gifted Apostles working hand and hand with the Kingdom Governmental Apostles. We see a Prophetic Type of this with the Seven Kingdom Apostles in the Boat with the Net in their Hand Pulling in the 153 Fish (Overcomers).
These Hidden Lions (Governmental Apostles) who have been in God’s Caves of Preparation over the Last 14 Years being Fathered by God are about to come out of Hiding. They were not called to Minister during the Church Age God has been preparing them for the Age to Come.
This Age is coming to an end and we are about to see a Commissioning of these Governmental Apostles. Satan who is the Prince or God (Ruler) of this World has had his Day. It is a New Day the Day of the Lord. What we are seeing in this hour is the Transition from Shebna (Instructors) the Leaders of the Old Order to Eliakim the Fathers of the Remnant.
Only a Remnant of the Bride will go on to Perfection to be a Part of the First or Better Resurrection in this hour. The Church of the First Born (Firstfruits) the Delivers on Mount Zion the Many Sons who will be brought to Glory.
