For the last few weeks I have been praying that God would cleanse my thoughts and the memories stored in my mind which might keep me away from His perfect Christ-like thoughts. Then something happened to me that became a perfect example of how God carefully helps us. I was awakened at 1:30 AM in the morning from a deep sleep by bitter heartburn raging in my stomach. I got up, took a few antacids for the pain, and then lay back down to go to sleep. Just as I drifted off I heard a voice speak, “Don’t worry, it will all go out in the dross.”

As I continued to sleep, I had an incredible dream! I was in a church with a very famous husband and wife team I knew from my past, (but I also realized in the dream that they were now in heaven). After the service, Sandy and I took them out to eat. The restaurant was incredibly crowded so I went with the waiter to look for a place where we could all privately share with each other, because they were a very elderly couple. I found some empty seats and the couple came and joined us.

I knew this was a very rare moment for us to be able to meet privately with this extremely famous couple. We all sat there, ate our dinner, and had some friendly, light conversation. When I woke up out of sleep, I still had the heartburn, but I questioned myself as to why I didn’t ask the couple questions about the mistakes they had made in their lives. I again drifted back into sleep and the same voice spoke again, “It will all go out in the dross.”

Immediately I started dreaming again. Sandy and I were with the same couple, and this time we were about to travel together in a car. Again we did not share any unpleasantries and had a nice, peaceful time together. When I woke up, the heartburn in my stomach was completely gone. What was making my stomach bitter went out in the dross, just as the Lord had said.

Then the Lord spoke to me, “You asked me to cleanse your thinking and your memories. In your dream you could not remember any of the bad mistakes that the couple had made, and that is because those memories are carnal knowledge. Carnal knowledge does not protect you from attacks, instead they are tricks that the enemy uses to make you think you are safe, that you won’t make the specific mistake the other person made, and you’ll win all the time. But the enemy is just attacking you from a different direction. If you trust your carnal knowledge to protect you, you will lose. It is only the fresh words from the Holy Spirit that are your true daily protection, and this is why your daily prayer is so important for your future.”

Wow! I called our family together and told them the dream the Lord had just given to me. My son, Sunny, had an incredible insight to this truth. He said that when he had gone to meetings in Hollywood, he observed that there were so many people in the industry that were trying to impress, manipulate, and trick everyone into thinking they were someone that they only wished they could be. The only protection he felt he could trust was the Word of God in his spirit.

When I heard my son say these words, I understood this was truly the wisdom of God. Carnal knowledge is not our protection. The Spirit of God daily living in us is our only true protection.

In last week’s blog, I told you about God speaking to me concerning a prophetic act that would affect a company, whose executive had confessed his company was badly influencing America in a evil way. Usually prophetic acts like this are done totally in private. In this case however, the Lord told me to share it with you openly in my blog, and also do it publicly on Periscope’s Thursday broadcast.

I believe the reason for this public display is to teach you how prophetic acts are done. God is going to begin whispering to you, asking you to obey His simple command. This will dramatically change the situation around you, your family, work, school, government ~ and even personal situations that you face, including your own health.

Sister Elizabeth is a faithful prayer warrior in our church. She recently told me that she felt the Holy Spirit telling her to merely drive by our building on 1970 Ocean Ave. This was in simple obedience to God‘s command, and is the essence of what a prophetic act does. Her obedience releases Heaven to do the work. On the day she communicated with me about the change in her driving route, the Lord gave me a dream about the building. It confirmed how important her activity and obedience concerning our building on Ocean Avenue was.

This is the reason, when I heard the news item concerning this American corporation, that God responded in my spirit and said, “I will give you a prophetic act that will consume the darkness in this company with fire, and turn it to smoke that is blown away in the wind of the Spirit.” Over the next few days, through a series of prayer meetings, the Lord had me buy a collection of 12 matchsticks. The prophet Timothy Snodgrass felt the Lord tell him we should anoint the matchsticks with frankincense to release a sweet-smelling fragrance unto the Lord.

So I took 12 matchsticks and, in front of the Periscope audience of prayer intercessors, I anointed the matchsticks with oil and then Sandy, my sweetheart, lit them with fire. (You can see this simple prophetic act if you go to the June 27 Periscope prayer meeting In Richard Gazowsky‘s account on Periscope.)

The Lord told me when the prophetic act was done, the prophet Timothy Snodgrass and my family would know the meaning and fulfillment of the action. Afterwards, Brother Timothy told me, “I sensed that the 12 matches represented 12 apostolic Christian Reformers, who would light a fire of reformation within the company itself, and bring the fire of the Holy Ghost into the undisclosed company to bring about change.”

My children felt that the 12 matchsticks also referred to divine multiplication. In the high-tech industry, there are 12 billion-dollar companies and each one will have the apostolic process occur that Timothy mentioned. By the spiritual revelations released through one simple prophetic act, Heaven’s power is shown when we agree with Heaven’s plan!

I love resting in the still quiet pasture of Heaven’s perfect will, and being a true sheep, for resting is truly our call. But my rest was interrupted by a news report from an executive who was employed by a major U.S. corporation, which had been part of a process deceiving billions of people into hurtful thinking. This news was very troubling deep in my spirit. But suddenly the Lord spoke to me and said, “I will give you a simple prophetic act that will turn this whole complex deceptive operation into smoke that will be carried away quickly in the winds of time.”
In past years, I have become very familiar with God’s use of simple prophetic acts that cause incredible battles to be won. In the Old Testament, the prophet Elijah said, “‘Take bow and arrows.’ And he took unto him bow and arrows. And he said to the king of Israel, ‘Put thine hand upon the bow.’ And he put his hand upon it: and Elisha put his hands upon the king’s hands. And he said, ‘Open the window eastward.’ And he opened it. Then Elisha said, ‘Shoot.’ And he shot. And he said, ‘The arrow of the Lord’s deliverance, and the arrow of deliverance from Syria: for thou shalt smite the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have consumed them.’”
But I must tell you, there are dynamics in a prophetic act that are not mentioned in the initial request. We realize in its completion that it is extremely important to the outcome.
Now let’s go back to Elisha and look at the rest of the story: “And Elisha said, ‘Take the arrows.’ And he took them. And he said unto the king of Israel, ‘Smite upon the ground.’ And he smote thrice, and stayed. And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, ‘Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times; then hadst thou smitten Syria till thou hadst consumed it: whereas now thou shalt smite Syria but thrice.’”
So we see by this Biblical example, the prophetic act had a hidden requirement that tested whether the king was committed enough to do the act in a way that showed God he wanted Syria removed for good. We are sheep, which means we do not fight the battle. God‘s angels fight the battle, but we still have to be committed to our belief that God‘s army will finish the job completely.
To truly understand this spiritual dynamic, you must see that God wants His church to rest.  Yet we still must be involved and committed spiritually to the heavenly activities that are about to happen and service our generation.
I want to take a moment and explain that a prophetic act is not a large dramatic incident. It is a simple action that is just as normal as walking down the street. What makes it different is that you are doing it in obedience to the spoken revealed word of God for a special time and special place. For example, it was normal for an ancient king in Elisha’s time to have a bow and arrows in his palace. But at the moment the prophet said, “Smite the ground with the arrows,” the whole situation changed because the prophet of God Elijah had spoken the revealed word of God.
Another purpose of this prophetic act: Heaven needed to see if the receiver of the miracle had the faith to believe Heaven’s army would accomplish the miracle. When the king of Israel tapped the ground three times with the arrow, his uninspired commitment to the prophetic act showed that he didn’t have the faith required to believe Heaven’s army would complete the task.
Heaven can and will measure your faith to see if you’ll believe God through the entire process of Heaven performing miracles on your behalf. There are hundreds of prophetic acts listed in the Bible in its wonderful stories. Moses parted the Red Sea by simply placing his rod in the water at the right time. The greatest prophetic act was Jesus’ death on the cross at Calvary, which saved the souls of all mankind!
Now that you see the big picture of how important prophetic acts can actually be, you understand about the prophetic act that was revealed to me ~ why my family and I were so concerned that it was done exactly according to God‘s purpose for America. Then it took an unexpected turn.  My family felt a check in the Spirit that something was wrong and we didn’t know what it was.
Then I remembered the Scripture where Jesus said, “Are not there twelve hours in the day? Wait for the daylight so that you don’t stumble in the dark.” I prayed this prayer on Periscope, and in the middle of my prayer the Lord showed me a vision of a lighted pathway, and He said, “I will show you clearly the way to go through this darkness.”
As I get ready to go to sleep this night, I am waiting for the Lord to light the pathway. This is the secret of everything with God. You must learn His ways and follow His pathway completely. Next week I’ll tell you the rest of the story…

Speed has become a determining factor in so many industries. In the computer industry it’s processing speed which is measured in “power”. In the mail and package industry the speed of delivery is what really counts; the list goes on and on. If you study how speed affects a certain portion of an industry you discover that the determining factor of what is the best speed is not always time-dependent. This is especially true in the spiritual “industry” of following God’s perfect plan for your life.
First, you must realize God’s plan is determined by the Holy Ghost. This is why the wind of the Spirit determines your daily movement. But there are also parallels that we can learn from other industries that will help us move with the speed of the Holy Ghost. In order to have their jets fly better the airline manufacturing industry had to design the shape of the fuselage of the plane to allow it to be more aerodynamic, so travel would be much smoother through the air.
The same is true in our own personal lives. We must remove the objects caused by trying to guess or pre-determine the direction God is sending us or asking us to go. With fewer fleshly expectations in planning our own futures, miraculously our lives become smoother. Our attitudes are less fussy because we are waiting for God to speak, and not trying to guess what He’s going to say.
The removal of trying to plan your expectations increases the level of sophistication and your ability to hear little tiny nuances of instruction from the Holy Ghost. This guidance from God is especially important as your level of responsibility increases. This might even offend some of you: God’s glory involves great wealth. Money is like uranium. It has very powerful uses, but it also is extremely dangerous and must be handled with care. Love it, and it will kill you. Matter-of-fact, the Scripture says, “The love of money is the root of all evil.” This presents the question, “Why would something so dangerous be so important to the speed of the Holy Ghost?”
The speed of the Holy Ghost insures perfection. Paul instructed us about this truth in James, “Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.” This is the secret mysterious truth that we are realizing in patience, and it is the secret ingredient in the speed of the Holy Ghost.
A story that illustrates the necessity of having patience to reach perfection is found in the story of the British automobile maker, Rolls Royce. In Manchester, England, Henry Royce was building cars, but he wanted them to reach a level of perfection nobody was even looking for. He wanted a car that would start by just turning a key switch. At that time all cars were started by a hand crank, and that meant the owner or driver of the car had to go out and turn the crank handle to get the car started.
Henry knew that no refined person would want to mess up their clothes trying to start their car. He knew he needed an electric switch that would start the car every time. This turned out to be a more difficult task than he ever thought possible. After years of research and making multiple starters, he initiated an intricate series of inventions done on the electric car starter, until he finally perfected one! He had produced the first electric starter that worked every time! Until the 1970’s, the Rolls Royce was the only electric starter that worked consistently. For over 30 years, his invention was never duplicated.
When God leads you on the pathway of perfection, He puts you into a future which no competitor can even compare.  Let His purpose of perfection have its perfect patient work in your life until you are complete, lacking nothing. Welcome to First Class: a Rolls Royce life!

The premise that I wish for you to consider is that the Scripture tells us, “Know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?” If our body is the temple, then the temple is complete when the presence of God is in us. Because of this I have discovered that every day when I wake up in the morning I seek the presence of God to enter into my body, which is His temple, and I begin the day in perfect alignment with God‘s purpose in me.

“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.”

How important is perfection? What is God’s view of perfection? This is not man’s view of perfection. God‘s view of perfection is much more complex because it not only deals with being perfect in obedience and fulfillment, but in our attitude and intentions at the moment we encounter specific situations. All of this is covered by our innocence in our obedience.

Another way of looking at this is as a father who looks at his beloved son, and sees in his son a complete reflection of himself. As the father is perfect, his reflection results in the father realizing that his son is perfect. This is how God looks upon us each and every day. Our own obedience to His voice is what leads to His pleasure at our perfection.

I have realized over the years when God’s presence enters into His temple, it is a sign that He is pleased with our level of perfection. As our own obedience draws His presence, so His glory shows up in us. This is how to experience heaven on earth, and why our daily goal should be His presence.

The true treasure chest of experience you can open each and every morning is in the wee hours of dawn when you find yourself awake but you haven’t yet opened your eyes. As you lay in bed, try to remember the dreams regarding the things that God spoke to you in the night. Rehearse them in your mind even before you open your eyes, and mull over the details. Many times you’ll find that as you think about the details, you will see even deeper into the experience God gave you in your dreams.

As you fully awaken, take the time to write down what you have just seen. With today’s modern technology you can literally speak it into your phone, which will then type it all out for you. Whatever method you use, make sure you make a record of it. This becomes a treasure ~ and might even be a map to the treasures that God has waiting for you in your life experiences!

Next, take time to pray about your dream and ask God questions about anything that you don’t understand: “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally, and upbraideth not.” You will be amazed at how patient and kind God is with the wisdom He shares with you!

Over the last week we have realized this prophecy given by the prophet Timothy Snodgrass is reaching its time of fulfillment. The time is now! He mentions God will speed up your promotion and God is moving you into a new movement. This is the movement of your life coming into a new existence, causing everything to change. Even when you are at the bottom, the top thing which you did not like, you will suddenly love. If you dress every day in casual clothes that look roughed up and worn you may be comfortable. Then you look at those who are dressed like they are walking the red carpet, and they make you feel uncomfortable. But suddenly in the new movement, you’re walking the red carpet yourself! You can not only be comfortable with the uncomfortable, but you can laugh and enjoy every delicate, perfect, classy thing God is doing.

Now the prophecy:
A word from Brother Timothy 9/11/2015
No more delay, it’s time to move into acceleration
You’re getting ready to move into the major leagues
Stand in faith because you’re about to move into a new movement
There is a time God has set aside for your acceleration
God is giving you a complete skin makeover
The change of the appearance is a sign of Solomon’s wealth that is coming to you
There is new wealth and health coming to you
The anointing to build homes homes homes homes homes homes homes homes homes
You will buy homes you will give homes you will sell homes you will buy property
God is giving you a mansion anointing
When God says go, He can get you there
Simple patents simple downloads simple revelation
God is accelerating your thought process
You’re not going to stay at your old home, the old is passing away
You will go from your new home to London back to your home in California
Scotland, London, England, Eastern Europe, Europe
Multiplication of finances
A celebration is coming of the moving into your new life out of the old life
Ridiculous celebration, ridiculous joy is about to be released in your family
You’re getting ready to break into mansions
You will have mansions in many nations
The wealth of Solomon is coming to you
God is getting rid of every age related infirmity
Every day you are getting younger

How you wake up each morning is so vital to how much of heaven you will have on earth each day. For me, the best way to begin each day is with prayer based on the pattern of the Lord’s Prayer. Begin by honoring the Lord. Agree with God‘s master plan. You find the key to this salutation in the words, “Thy will be done, on earth, as it is in Heaven”. Here, we agree with His plan for America, for the earth, and for our lives.

Prayer is more than just repeating phrases. It must become an intercession of the heart, and a communication that goes down to the root elements inside our being. It is a consistent process of listening and obeying every word God speaks, be it in words, dreams, visions or any other whisper from His divine voice. Each day, God’s communication separates fleshly thoughts and intents of the heart by simply obeying what He tells you to do. Obedience results in a little more of Heaven each day.

This process must be done daily. Which is why we pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.” Eating is one key to obtaining a perfect body in perfect health. This one aspect of your prayer session can literally transform your physical body as described in The Bible when it says, “Moses was 120 years old when he died. His eyesight was sharp; he still walked with a spring in his step.” Paul says in Romans, “Those who think they can do it on their own end up obsessed with measuring their own moral muscle but never get around to exercising it in real life. Those who trust God’s action in them find that God’s Spirit is in them—living and breathing God! Obsession with self in these matters is a dead end; attention to God leads us out into the open, into a spacious, free life. Focusing on the self is the opposite of focusing on God. Anyone completely absorbed in self ignores God, ends up thinking more about self than God. That person ignores who God is and what he is doing. And God isn’t pleased at being ignored.” This is heaven on earth in our physical health.

God wants us to have heaven in our personal relationships with the people around us, “And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” As I interact with my family, how can I truly show them through words and actions how much I appreciate them and the debt of love that I owe them? Sometimes this part of my daily intercession can literally take hours. I wait in meditation concerning each person until God speaks and His words cut off any bad part of my interaction with them. Make each relationship with each family member heaven on earth. You can tell that each aspect of the Lord’s Prayer is really detailed. Each aspect of this daily prayer requires intercession; most of my own intersession is done through speaking in tongues.

In the pathway of thoughts and actions that we will journey today, “And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:”. If you have been praying with us on our daily intercession on Periscope you will have noticed many times we ask God to direct our thoughts. We need God’s help in our thinking. The Bible actually encourages us, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.” The direction of our daily thoughts should always be in humility as a servant to serve every person we meet, as well as our family members. When you become a true servant to your family, you will not even rise up in anger in a conversation to defend yourself or to convince them of your opinion. This is a hard position to take, but it truly leads to Heaven on earth for every person in your family, for your actions will deliver you from evil.

When your intercession accomplishes a realization of these aspects of the Lord’s Prayer in your daily life, you will spend your day declaring, “For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.”

See you in prayer!

One of the most beautiful things I have ever experienced is the spiritual washing by the Word of God. What I am describing is a very complex spiritual activity which heaven offers to those who embrace the wind of the Spirit daily. How can you embrace that which is unembraceable?

God’s power may appear to be an illusion but it’s actually a reality. It’s the rock that everything we depend on is built upon. As John said with such clarity, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.” To truly understand what John is saying here, we must realize he is not speaking in a spiritual metaphor or for poetic entertainment. He is actually speaking a straightforward truth.

Words from the mouth of God are building blocks for all human action. Our belief in the truth of these words is the mortar that binds them together and eventually leads to the construction of skyscrapers of success. Let’s look at the fine aspects of the Word of God, particularly at one idea I’ll call the “rain” of the word of God.

The finesse experienced in words from God can sometimes only be seen in daily prayer and observation of God’s ways. The message Bible puts it this way, “His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense.” The pinpoint accuracy of God’s word in us can remove the slightest emotion or intent of the flesh that can cause so many problems during the day.  I find it extremely valuable to allow the rain of God’s word to come upon us from the top of our heads to the soles of our feet. It cleanses every detail of our human condition. The way His word does its work in us is very simple: when you obey exactly what the Lord tells you to do, that action washes away the ugly part of sin and corruption that is in you. Evil in you can be removed as easily as a breath of air blows a feather away.

Now comes the hard part: The Apostle Paul mentions a difficulty of discernment when he says, “But solid food belongs to those who are of full age, that is, those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.” This simply means that you recognize the voice of God when he speaks in you and you obey that voice alone.

The key to this last verse is the statement, “by reason of use“. Let me give you an example. My son told me one reason The Golden State Warriors are one of the best basketball teams in the NBA is because they physically shoot more baskets than anyone else in the league every single day. One of their players shoots around 2,000 shots a week. He shoots a minimum of 250 every day, plus another 100 before every game. It’s by “reason of use”.

The same principle occurs in the spiritual realm. Listen daily for God’s voice through dreams, visions, through whispers of words, and also the reading of the Bible. The word of God in your life will rain on you and begin to cleanse you and purify you making you perfect for the Master to use.
