Called, Anointed & Appointed ~ by Elaine Tavolacci, 1/17/20
Posted: January 18, 2020 in Chosen, Precious jewels in HIS serviceThe LORD says, “Just as I have called David as a young shepherd boy to be a King, I have called you to be used in an extraordinary way.”
There is a story in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 16 about the calling of King David.
The LORD told the Prophet Samuel to fill his horn with oil and go to anoint one of Jesse’s sons to be the next King. Each one of Jesse’s sons passed before Samuel.
The first one named Eliab passed before him. Samuel thought that surely he was the one to anoint because he considered his outward appearance.
But The LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For The LORD does not see as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but The LORD looks at the heart.”
Abinadab then passed before him. Abinadab had a son named Eleazar who was consecrated to guard the ark of the covenant in Abinadabs house after it was returned from Palistine captivity, (1 Samuel 7:1).
It remained in his house for twenty years. He then had Shammah pass before him. Shammah was the warrior who is credited with having single-highhandedly defeated the Philistine soldiers at a lentil patch. He may also be the man who defeated 600 men of the Philistines with an ox goad.
After each one of Jesse’s seven sons passed before Samuel, he told Jesse that The LORD has not chosen any of them.
Samuel then asked if he had any other sons, Jesse said yes the youngest son who is tending the sheep. Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.”
So he sent for David and brought in. David was ruddy with bright eyes and handsome features. When Samuel had seen David, The LORD said to him, “Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!”
Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of The LORD came upon David from that day forward.
In the same way, Jesus is anointing the next generation. Just as He passed Davids brothers up, He is also passing many others up to find the one who has a heart after Him.
He is not looking for someone who is brilliant or renowned, but He is searching for the one who spends time with Him in the secret place.
There are some who have been abused, used and rejected from their youth. To the world they are known as “Generation X” or “the Millennial’s”.
They are tenacious in faith, radical for Jesus and are ready to transform the world with the glory of God. He has a master plan for their lives and they are going to defeat their enemy with the same weapon that he used against them.
The LORD says, “Just as I have called David as a young shepherd boy to be a King, I have called you to be used in an extraordinary way.
Just as I anointed him and raised him up to be a mighty warrior, I also anoint you to be strong and very courageous.
There is no need to be fearful or fainthearted because you will minister in My Strength and Anointing. You will know the authority that I have placed on your life as I raise you up for the end times.
As the world looks at you and see’s your faults and failures, I see you as the mighty warrior that I have created you to be.
Don’t see yourself in defeat, neither see yourself as the person who you once were because I have created you to be a giant slayer.
You will arise and defeat the powers of the enemy because you have been called to greatness. You have been created for My end time plan.
Just as David confronted and killed Goliath, so shall you stand against the giants and conquer them. Just as David killed the lion and the bear, you are well able to overcome every obstacle and adversity that comes against you.
I will train your hands for war and your fingers for battle, an have gifted you and called you to do great exploits. I have created each one of you for a unique purpose and placed My anointing upon your lives.
I strategically designed each one of you to be different from the others. Don’t try to emulate the calling of someone else, but imitate their life by following their blameless lifestyle and holy way of living as you clothe yourselves in robes of righteousness.
I have given you the personality and the temperament to be just as you are and to do all that you were called to do.
You are unique because you are not of this world but you have been set apart for such a time as this. You have been chosen for a particular assignment.
As you stay steadfast in your convictions and uncompromising in your walk with Me, I will visit you and speak to you.
As I anointed David, I now anoint you, saying ‘Arise, anoint him, for this Is the one,’” says The LORD.
“But The LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For The LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but The LORD looks at the heart,” 1 Samuel 16:7.
“And Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and bring him. For we will not [e]sit down till he comes here.” So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with bright eyes, and good-looking. And The LORD said, “Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!” Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of The LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel arose and went to Ramah,” 1 Samuel 16:11-13.
Prayer of submission and activation: A Watchman’s Petition – “Here I am LORD, Send Me!” – Tim Foster, 1-14-20
Posted: January 16, 2020 in Chosen, Precious jewels in HIS service, Sanctified to carry God's Glory to the lost = modern Esther's 4:14
Jeremiah 31: 6For there shall be a day when watchmen will cry in the hill country of Ephraim: ‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion, to the LORD our God.’”
Father in Heaven – As Isaiah heard Your calling “Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?” my response is the same as Isaiah’s “Here am I. Send me!” [Insert Petitioner’s Name Here]
As for the little boy, Samuel, You came and stood by him, calling, “Samuel! Samuel!”
Then Samuel said, “Speak, for your servant is listening.” – So it is with us LORD – your chosen vessels, we cry out to go and speak for you LORD – we desire to go and be the face of Jesus to those people who do not know Him or You – Father.
As You spoke to Moses on the mountain top, You instructed him and the Israelites to leave this place and go to the Land of Promise – You said that “Your presence will go with them, and You will give them peace.” In the same way, we as your chosen vessels, pray that you would send us out into the harvest of the many and that Your presence will go with us and you will give us peace.
And with this assignment of leaving our worldly careers behind us and moving on with our Godly careers in your Kingdom – we call for the promises You made in Your Word for the super-natural giftings, blessings, and abilities – through the Power of Holy Spirit that resides in us.
Father – we come and petition to be sent out in the same way the Jesus sent out His twelve disciples where He instructed them to proclaim “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” And to “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse lepers, cast out demons.”
Father – we pray these words of Jesus apply to our mission where Jesus says in John 14:12-14 — 12 “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.”
We pray to “Let our light so shine before others, that they may see our good works which will glorify You, our Father, in heaven.”
We continue to supplicate many more requests in the name of Jesus where He said in Matthew 7: 7-8 — 7“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.”
And with this, we humbly ask for the following:
• For unbelief to melt away in all of our interactions with others on the mission
• To have the courage that young David had when he faced Goliath – that nothing would ever inhibit or cause us to depart in fear – that NOTHING would stop us in delivering the message of the Mercy, Love and Forgiveness – the true message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ
• To never let our fleshy pride get in our way so that we constantly put forth a “Christ – like” attitude of humility and selfless love in all that we do
• To NOT back down from any advisory in or out of the faith – to stand upon the true Word of God and not falter in any way by misrepresenting the Truth found in the God’s Word
• To speak for the LORD – never from our fleshy selves – that in every situation, the words that come from our mouths would be identical to what our Lord – Jesus would say.
With all these things, we ask by the Power of Holy Spirit and in the Name of Yeshua HaMashiach – Jesus the Christ, our LORD and SAVIOR – AMEN.

(Carol’s note: What a perfect word for the beginning of this blog’s 6th year of friendship with the Lord.) The Greatest Adventure You Have Ever Known – Jeffrey Stewart – 1/4/20
Posted: January 6, 2020 in Chosen, Precious jewels in HIS serviceThe Father says:
“Some of you yearn for a deeper walk with Me. Though I have many sons and daughters, I have few friends. Friendship with me is a walk that brings immense joy to both of our hearts. Ask Me to draw you into a walk of friendship with Me. Allow Me to take your hand, and let us walk in a journey of great joy and love that never ends. One that starts here on earth and continues on throughout eternity. Ask Me to give you the grace, every day, to walk with Me as My friend. I will share My hopes and dreams with you, My deepest secrets with you, as you entrust every care, every hope, and every dream with Me. I am the best listener you have ever known, treating your every word as a precious jewel. You yearn for true happiness. True contentment. True joy. Those, and more, will be found in our friendship. I invite you to explore the wonders of My heart. To see others through My eyes of love. For to be My friend is to truly walk as one heart with Me. To share our lives with each other. My friends, though few, know life in its true fullness. They look forward to each new morning and go to sleep in My loving arms. Walk with Me as My friend and know what it really means to live. The door stands open before you. And through the door, the greatest adventure you have ever known.”

Ignited for Flight (Transformation coming to jewels of God’s right hand.) – Fresh Oil Releases, 4-12-19
Posted: January 2, 2020 in Fire-Torch Humans being prepared/refined by God!, People who follow the Lord - Biographies, Books and Websites = Holy Spirit's Fire of Truth, Precious jewels in HIS service, UncategorizedThis morning as I was sitting quietly before Him, the Lord said to me, “Listen, daughter” and I could hear nothing but noise pollution, a kind of static. He urged me to listen more deeply and as he said this, I saw a dark grey atmosphere and peering deeply into it, I finally saw shards of what looked like diamond shaped glass strung on a piece of thread.”What is it, Lord?” I asked. “It is a wind chime. Keep listening” and as I concentrated, I felt as if I was listening through a great depth of distance in the spirit. Finally, I heard a tiny sound of one piece of glass striking another. Then it happened again and again and I realized I was hearing the sound of the coming of the wind. The glass shards began to move more and more violently as the wind got closer and closer until they were tinkling incessantly.
Then I saw a mighty wind sweep through the porch of an old dilapidated house. It swept up the dead leaves that were lying around on the porch and tossed them away and then burst through the front door into a large empty hallway. As it did so, the strength of the wind knocked out some of the pieces of the staircase railing. I saw the walls of the house begin to crack at the impact of the wind’s strength and wondered if it was going to fall down. “Follow the wind,” the Lord instructed me and we went up those stairs to the upper floor. There was just one huge room there and the whole floor was covered with what looked like people curled up on their knees with their faces to the ground in a prayer position. They all seemed to be covered with white shrouds. There was no movement or sound in that room until the wind entered the area.
When I looked closer, I saw they were actually butterfly chrysalises. The mighty wind roared around the room touching each one and as it did so, a flame appeared on the top of each chrysalis. Then they all started rocking about as a result of something being awakened within and one by one, those within began to emerge from these chrysalises. I watched one in particular and the occupant stood on his feet in the form of a small boy and he stretched his arms in the air as a child does when it is awakened from sleep.
This boy had wings on his back and as they stretched out to form their full shape, the flame from the empty chrysalis ignited the wings and they became a set of double flames in deep orange and tipped with an almost indigo color. They were burning but not being consumed. I looked around the room and everyone who had emerged from their own individual shroud chrysalis was also a male boy child and all had a pair of flaming wings. The mighty wind was somehow hovering gently and lovingly over the company in this upper room almost like a hen brooding over her chicks and then when the last one was completely equipped with his set of fiery flame wings, it picked up speed, sweeping them all into its movement and burst through the ceiling.
I saw the tiles of the roof being tossed every which way as the mighty wind exited the building, carrying its precious cargo of fiery flaming sons. Then it seemed to spread out, no longer in the shape of a whirlwind but filling the whole upper atmosphere above the destroyed old house and I saw the butterflies being distributed in every direction until they were out of sight. Somehow I knew they were being carried by the wind of the Spirit to their specific appointed assignments.
Afterwards, I asked the Lord what the house represented. “It is the house of religion,” He replied. “It has become an empty shell, with the souls of dead men walking littering its porch as they lie about, indolent in the sunlight. These ones are of no use to My Kingdom. My wind has come for those in the upper room; those who have submitted to the process of experiencing My death; those who have been willing to enter the tomb of transformation and be set apart for My later purposes. They have been waiting patiently in prayer for me to come and release them and now is the time. I come to set them aflame with a double portion and a baptism of fire. I come to awaken and endue with garments of fire. I come to empower and release and open up the way for their flight to their assigned places in My end-time Kingdom plans.
I will remove the ceiling with which the house of religion has hemmed them in. I come to break off the words which have bound and imprisoned and cast off and set aside my jewels. I will open up the tombs sealed by the religious spirit and no manmade barrier will hold us back any longer. We will move together, My sons of fire and I, and vacate the premises of the place of preparation. The sky is the limit for My faithful ones. Spirit-led, Spirit-fed, flowing in a fiery anointing; the sons of the right hand are about to be released to take over their Father’s business.”
When I was searching for a picture of a white chrysalis, I came across this image and realized that the glass shards I saw which the Lord called a windchime were actually the butterfly chrysalises strung on a thread. It was these sleeping ones which were being moved ever so slightly and then more strongly by the approaching wind. In other words, in spite of being totally wrapped in grave shrouds, these saints within have become super sensitive to the moving of the Spirit. Even the slightest breeze is picked up by them and the glass shards tinkling and making a sound together speaks of the fellowship of these hidden saints in the Spirit.
I then discovered that this particular chrysalis belongs to the monarch butterfly. This speaks both a negative and positive prophetic meaning. Monarch conditioning was a tool used by the CIA to control people’s minds through abuse, drugs, isolation and deprivation.
Spiritually, this connects to what the Lord said about the religious spirit speaking words over His jewels which sealed their tombs so that they would never be able to be free of the limitations and control placed on them. In my vision, I saw the Holy Spirit come in power and completely destroy the power of those schemes against His saints.
In a positive prophetic sense, the word ‘monarch’ means ‘King’, so the release of these Monarch butterflies from their tombs speaks of the release of saints with a double portion of fiery Kingly anointing. As they are carried by the wind of the Spirit to their appointed places and assignments, they will operate in a ruling anointing, passing righteous judgments by the leading of the Spirit.
For the waiting ones in the upper room, prepare to receive your double portion anointing as the sons of the right hand.
Selah
John 3:8 The wind blows (breathes) where it wills; and though you hear its sound, yet you neither know where it comes from nor where it is going. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.
Romans 8:14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
Psalms 104:4 Who makes winds His messengers, flames of fire His ministers.
Isaiah 66:15 For behold, the Lord will come in fire, and His chariots will be like the stormy wind, to render His anger with fierceness, and His rebuke with flames of fire.

Shine Bright for ME! ~ by Pastor Debra Lowe, 12/24/19
Posted: December 25, 2019 in Fire-Torch Humans being prepared/refined by God!, Precious jewels in HIS serviceThe LORD says, “I AM constantly speaking, but of all the words that I speak to you daily, you hear 3%.
It is moments like this where you ascend, and keep climbing the holy hill to come closer, where you can hear Me in a whisper.
You no longer have to strain to hear My Voice over the shouts of the world or the shouts of your own heart, over the shouts of troubles and trials, you can hear Me.
This is why I said, ‘Do not forsake the assembling of yourselves together,’ because there is so much more power when you ascend together to bring you to that secret place to the holy hill where you hear My Voice clearer.
So I desire for you to take this example and live it daily in your day life. Every day living like this, ascending to the high place, because then you can hear more clearly what I AM saying to you.
I AM trying to get you to know where we are in the moments of history so that you will not miss out on what I have planned for My very own.
This is the season where My Children will begin to truly shine, those who have not had their lights put out by the pressures, those who have not allowed the salt to become worthless.
For all who have come to the place that no matter what they have seen or gone through, that they are consistently walking with Me.
They will hear Me, and they will begin to shine bright. Their brightness will bring some of the others that have lost their luster and their shine to come back, for they will recognize the beacon and hear Me calling them back to Me again,” says The LORD.
“There will be some in the deep recesses of hell, yes, even on this earth that the enemy has desired to kill, and I will be calling them back by the very light that shines from you.
So I say to you My Children, it is time to arise and shine. Arise and shine and let My Glory begin to pour out and emanate from you so that many may fall under the power, the presence and the glory of your God that will begin to exude from you, because you will be the lighthouse in this world of darkness.
This is the season that we are in, so I AM polishing and shining up My diamonds and My gold, so that they will sparkle in these last days that men will come to see the glory, the shine, and wonder that is going on in you. They will begin to understand that there is a God and I AM He and they will look for Me and I will be found of them.
This is our season, this is your season, so I say shine bright My holy diamonds. Shine bright My precious gold. Shine bright for Me,” says The LORD.
This is our season!
“You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its taste (purpose), how can it be made salty? It is no longer good for anything, but to be thrown out and walked on by people [when the walkways are wet and slippery],” Matthew 5:13.
“You are the light of [Christ to] the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden; nor does anyone light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good deeds and moral excellence, and [recognize and honor and] glorify your Father who is in heaven,” Matthew 5:14-16.
“And let us consider [thoughtfully] how we may encourage one another to love and to do good deeds, not forsaking our meeting together [as believers for worship and instruction], as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more [faithfully] as you see the day [of Christ’s return] approaching,” Hebrews 10:24-25.
“Arise [from spiritual depression to a new life], shine [be radiant with the glory and brilliance of the Lord]; for your light has come, and the glory and brilliance of The LORD has risen upon you,” Isaiah 60:1.
