I fell asleep on the couch and woke up to go to bed. No sooner did I lay down and I saw a very, very, very old woman's skull with very long dark like black colored hair coming from this lady's skull literally charging at me. Coming rapidly towards me in the spirit I saw this. It was very real, and I told it no and to go away. It left and I wondered who in the heck was this old lady skull image charging towards me. It was odd because you know what a skull looks like don't you. A bone structure with no human flesh on it like one would see when looking at an individual. It was odd to see this long black colored hair coming from the back of the skull and that is how I knew it was an old lady (even though it had not gray but black colored hair.)
How does one try to go back to sleep after experience something like that! Needless to say, I was up the entire night and had a busy day the next day. I have 2 books I pulled off of my library shelf the other day both written by Kenneth E. Hagin. I began reading them both. "I Believe in Visions" & "Greater Glory." Last night I felt led to sit on my back patio and read the rest of "Greater Glory." There definitely was a theme threaded throughout this book about the greater glory and clapping can stop this greater glory manifestation. I have been in services and have even done this myself in regard to clapping at a word being brought forth. Brother Hagin shares a vision he had in 1987. In the vision it is he and Jesus standing about the area where the ceiling of the building they were in and looking down on one of the camp meetings they held in this building. "Then Jesus turned to me and said, "Clapping is neither praise nor worship." That was powerful when I read that and as I continued to read, he then shared how clapping is applause. He likened it to "If clapping were praise and worship, then people at political rallies are praising and worshipping God when they clap. And people at ball games are worshipping God when they clap. You shouldn't clap for God; you should reverence Him."
He goes on to share how there is only 1 scripture in the bible referencing us to clap our hands, Psalm 47:1 and do not take it out of context ok. This verse was given to the main musician, so it is showing us it is fine to clap while we sing. He goes on to further say the book of Psalms tells us more than 150 times to praise God. He then emphasizes that praising God is more important than clapping. This was a real eye opener for me as I was reading this. Then Jesus told him "The world claps, but the saints praise." He goes on to say what He told him, "Tell My people to quit clapping and start praising. Then they will move up to greater glory." He shares that is where he got the expression of "greater glory." Isn't that fascinating to you, it is to me. Then he goes on to teach when we learn to clap and not clap.
"It is all right to applaud and let the speaker know you're glad he or she is there. But I think that when a singer or a choir sings a beautiful, anointed song, instead of applauding them for what they did, we should lift our hands and praise God. If you enjoy the singing, you should say Praise God, Hallelujah or Glory to God. Just praise God and give Him the glory, don't applaud the singers!" Wow, that filled in a piece of the puzzle to me in that moment of reading because now I know where the glory shout that wells up inside of me at times and is released comes from. Thank you, Lord, for that divine insight moment. He goes on to share how important it is to react in this manner as opposed to clapping when a preacher makes a good point while preaching. "Don't start clapping, because if the preacher keeps on preaching, and some folks will miss what's said. But if you'll start praising God, it will be like saying, Sic'em to a dog! That preacher will take off, because you're flowing with the Holy Spirit when you praise God! But you're out of the flow, when you're clapping. He references Hebrews 13:15, the fruit of your lips is you saying something. So don't clap-open your mouth and praise God!"
He goes on to share how we are "clap happy" and how we clap over anything or even everything. Imagine that, pay closer attention now when in a service and see if the greater glory is evident by the reaction of the people gathering. I am going to start being more observant in this flow or lack of flow in a meeting with the greater glory of God there or not. I like this further point he states, "it shows bad manners when people get up and leave a service when the Spirit is moving. It grieves the Holy Ghost, and if we grieve Him, we can't move into the greater glory. We need to learn to flow with the Holy Spirit and return to true praise and worship." He shared of how he was in a meeting, and he spoke forth a word for someone, and no sooner did he speak the word everyone there started clapping and then the anointing lifted from him, the anointing left. Then he goes on to remind me how we will each stand before God and have to give an account for what happened in services we attended in our life. Pretty heavy stuff, don't you agree?
Some closing thoughts in this 41-page short but powerful booklet if I may share with you. "Yet in many churches today, when someone answers an altar call, people will start clapping, Thank God that people are being saved. But we're not to applaud them - we're to thank God. We're to give Him the praise and the glory. When you're clapping, you're not flowing with the Spirit. You're trying to worship God in the natural. And some folks have gotten in such a habit of clapping that when you try to get them to praise God, they don't know how. I know that's why the Lord told me that the body of Christ had gone as far as we could go, spiritually. But when we quit clapping and start praising God, we will move up to greater glory! Now you'll get all kinds of responses to that statement, but the Word of God is clear on the matter."
I watched the Joan Hunter Jubilee Celebration last night. I fell asleep on the couch. So, I get up to go to bed and no sooner did I lay down around midnight the recently fixed (like yesterday) doorbell began to go off repeatedly. Enough so I say Lord speak, I am listening and went to take the batteries out of the doorbell so it would stop continually ringing and that is how I find myself writing now. I then before writing watched the service again while not falling asleep with Charlie Shamp preaching. It is close to 3"30AM now and I feel led to look up what a skull means in a dream/vision given to you. I just know it comes forth from some sort of witchcraft related stuff. I broke all of that off when it happened. I am telling you all there are Christians out there speaking word curses over the lives of people (Holy Spirit gave me this years ago during deliverance ministry to reference this as Charismatic Christian Word Curses). It would not surprise me in the least bit if that image experience came forth from a woman who appears to be holy and says all the right things and even prayers too, but she has a heart not right with either God or towards me. So, her prayers are then released as curses and not blessings. Men, do not be fooled by these types of women. They sound really good in their words or even their resume on paper but are you really checking their heart attitude. Are they pushing their agenda on you to use you to fulfill their hearts desire. Really search this out because that may be the missing piece as to why blessings, miracles and more than enough income is seeming to be placed on pause. It just may not be you but some of the people you are surrounding yourself with and their secret agendas. Oh, men can operate in this capacity also.
With research via Dr. Barbie Breathitt's "A to Z Dream Symbology Dictionary" this is what I found out:
"Skull: you or someone else is acting like a bonehead, the head, seat of thought and intellect, represents a warning of death or poisoning of a relationship through treachery from a friend or business associate.
Hair, long on a woman: glory and covering; church; beauty; submission. Sexy and seductive; you will receive some important news.
Black, hair: a beautiful Asian person, a thing of beauty, someone who is up to evil intent. It is important to discern the context of the dream and on who and how the hair appears."
I wasn't far off on my thoughts was I before doing the research. Be cautious out there because the ones that seem to be too good to be true just may be doing some Christian black magic so to speak to get their agendas fulfilled. Hum, I wonder if that is connected to a Jezebel spirit, I'm just saying!
Well, Holy Spirit prompted me to look up Jezebel in the very same dictionary I reference above, and would you like to know what that means.
"Jezebel: means chaste, takes what is not rightfully hers; lying spirit of control and skilled manipulation, a demonic spirit that inhabits both men and women; jealousy, envy, witchcraft; false religion; sexual seduction or enticement."
Hey, it was worth lack of sleep today this early morning to hopefully help you all fill in a few missing pieces to a puzzle in your life, thanks be to God with Holy Spirit directing this writing project today, 6/9/2023.
