TEACHING: TO SWALLOW JESUS, THEN BE SENT 7/17/08
John 6: 56-58
He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in
Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and I
live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will
live because of Me. This is the bread which came down
from heaven — not as your fathers ate the manna, and are
dead. He who eats this bread will live forever.
To have been sent with a portion of His heart is the
greatest honor I have ever experienced. He told me that
He sent me in His stead, with His heart and His message
and that happened through the intimacy of swallowing His
cup, the cup of Jesus.
It has been a 2-way reciprocation in being sent but
having intimacy with the Lord in doing so. When He
downloads His message into those He sends, they
literally experience a part of Himself in what He feels
through the message. I found that swallowing His cup is
not opinions and beliefs about God, rather it is
experiencing God’s very heart and all that He
expresses. We can talk about God all we want, and have
opinions and interpretations of things He says. But
until we walk in His shoes, with His heart, we remain
unchanged, non impacted, and non influenced. Scripture
says we do not change because we do not fear God. (Ps
55:19)
I came to the conclusion a long time ago that the reason
God chose me was because I was one of the ones that
needed to change the most. I once heard Bob Jones say
that you better be careful what you prophesy, because a
prophet has to live out what he prophesies. If nothing
else, that ought to put the fear of God into all of
us... to see and hear, and then PRAY.
God’s heart is filled with emotion... longings,
yearnings, tenderness, anger, wrath, justice, mercy,
grief, nurturings, comfort, pity, joy, everlasting
love... He FEELS just like human beings feel, only it
is in the purest, most holy form and the immenseness of
what He feels is something that we can not bare. God’s
emotions are intense.
Rom 11:22 AMP
Then note and appreciate the gracious kindness and
the severity of God: severity toward those who have
fallen, but God's gracious kindness to you — provided
you continue in His grace and abide in His kindness;
otherwise you too will be cut off (pruned away).
I have walked through seasons with Him in this, but
these last few years as a prophetic intercessor have
been an experience of knowing the bitter yet sweet,
tough yet tender Pathos of God. It is knowing a part of
Himself that few people on earth want to know. I always
skipped past the books of Jeremiah and Lamentations
because they are not exactly happy books. Now after
walking out some deeply impacting and painful
intercessions these last few years, my life and heart is
forever changed for having known His pain and how He
feels about us. Now I understand that Jeremiah
experienced the Words that the Lord imparted into him.
Scripture talks about eating a portion of God’s Word and
when we do this, we receive a part of Himself inside.
Like honey to the taste, His Word is so sweetly
satisfying when He puts it into our mouth. Then with
each Word, it brings forth an expression of His heart,
His emotions, a part of Himself. Some of that is
painful.
Ezekiel 3: 1-3 NKJV
Moreover He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you
find; eat this scroll , and go, speak to the house of
Israel." So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat
that scroll. And He said to me, "Son of man, feed your
belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I
give you." So I ate, and it was in my mouth like honey
in sweetness.
Rev 10:9-10 NKJV
So I went to the angel and said to him, "Give me the
little book ."And he said to me, "Take and eat it; and
it will make your stomach bitter, but it will be as
sweet as honey in your mouth." Then I took the little
book out of the angel's hand and ate it, and it was as
sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had eaten it, my
stomach became bitter.
Jesus spoke of eating His body and drinking His blood.
He is the bread of life and He gives us His hidden
manna, which is our bread from heaven. This is a symbol
of swallowing Jesus, where He is distributed throughout
every cell of our body.
John 6:53-58 NKJV
"Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the
flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no
life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood
has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last
day. For My flesh is food indeed, and My blood is drink
indeed. He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides
in Me, and I in him. As the living Father sent Me, and
I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on Me will
live because of Me. This is the bread which came down
from heaven — not as your fathers ate the manna, and are
dead. He who eats this bread will live forever."
Matt 20:23 NKJV
So He said to them, "You will indeed drink My cup ,
and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized
with.
Matt 26:26-28 NKJV
And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed
and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said,
"Take, eat; this is My body ." 27 Then He took the cup,
and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink
from it, all of you. 28 For this is My blood of the new
covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of
sins.
TO COMFORT HIM IS TO KNOW, THEN ACCEPT HIM
I know that through what little of Himself He has poured
into me, it has given Him comfort in my understanding
Him. It is very humbling to receive that honor of
having something to give back to Him that ministers to
His own need. Each time we each receive and embrace a
part of Who He really is, it gives Him great pleasure in
reciprocation that He has reached out and connected with
us in meaningful acceptance.

CONFIRMATION BOBBY CONNER QUOTES:

After writing the above I turned on God TV with Bobby
Conner and heard him say the following:
“The Bible tells us what it is. The hidden manna is
that sealed book. The promises that God has for His
people during these end time days. The Bible says it is
sealed in Revelations chapter 5 but in Revelations
chapter 8, it is opened now. That seal is now opened
and you and I now have the invitation to come and eat
that open book. Here’s what He says when we take it out
of the hands of the angel and eat it, it is sweet in our
mouth but bitter in our belly.. It’s wonderful to
consume it, but is doesnt stay in, you have to put it
back out into the nations.
In Revelations 10:8, we eat the prophetic Word. We get
it in and then we spew it out across the nations. I am
glad we are in a time of sacred secrets and mystic
mysteries. He shouts His truths, but He whispers His
secrets.”
Rev 10:8-11 NKJV
Then the voice which I heard from heaven spoke to me
again and said, "Go, take the little book which is open
in the hand of the angel who stands on the sea and on
the earth." 9 So I went to the angel and said to him,
"Give me the little book." And he said to me,"Take and
eat it; and it will make your stomach bitter, but it
will be as sweet as honey in your mouth." 10 Then I
took the little book out of the angel's hand and ate it,
and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth. But when I had
eaten it, my stomach became bitter. 11 And he said to
me, "You must prophesy again about many peoples,
nations, tongues, and kings."
[Note from Sandy: This AM as I was thinking about this
same scripture I heard the Lord say to me several times
with emphasis, each time I thought of the verse:
“Nations!”]
One time Bobby heard the Lord in the throne room and
could not understand what He said. When Bobby asked,
God said, “This Word doesnt have to be heard in heaven,
it has to be heard on earth.” So He cast down on the
earth and Bobby hears that Word coming. [Bobby]: “I
heard it coming from His throne onto earth like thunder
and it burst across the earth. It was the Word,
“Access!” You and I now have access to the
throne of God.”
“This is a time for God is looking for somebody to talk
to. Not only is God wanting somebody to talk to, He is
wanting somebody to talk to Him. The Lord talked to me
the other day about prayer. He said My people dont pray
like they should. They dont understand the value of
prayer. He said I am going to give you a statement that
will change the people’s who idea concerning prayer. “Appointment
with the King.” Can you imagine that, God
Almighty has set up an appointment, an audience with the
King.”

UPDATE wayne confirmation 7/24/08: QUOTE FROM
AKIANE’S LIFE STORY
Wayne did not know I had written the above message on
swallowing God. Wayne’s was reading Akaine’s book today
(child prodigy) and mentioned that she was given to be
filled up with thousands of words until she was filled:
“Very early one morning, we found 8 year old Akaine
gazing through the window at the sky, her calm face
glowing. When we asked what she was doing, she answered
simply, “I was with God again, and I was told to pray
continually. He showed me where He lived, and it was so
light. He was whiter than the whitest of whites. I was
climbing transparent stairs; Underneath I saw gushing
waterfalls. As I approached my Father in paradise, His
body was pure light What impressed me the most were His
gigantic hands – they were full of maps and events.
Then He told me to memorize thousands upon thousands of
wisdom words on a scroll that didn’t look like paper,
but more like intense light. And in a few seconds I
somehow got filled up. He showed me the endless
universe, its past and its future, and He told me that
from now on I needed to get up very early and get ready
for my mission, I hope one day I’ll be able to paint
what I’ve been shown”..... the next day Akaine wrote a
very long poem...”

UPDATE CONFIRMATION 7/27/08: QUOTE FROM ANNIE’S
VISIONS
God is so wonderful, I love when He speaks! I just now
found Akaine’s book and typed it above a few minutes
ago. Now Wayne just asked me where our copy of Annie’s
Visions was so I retrieved it and opened it with
anointed hands. (Anointed hands is my favorite way to
read a book: just open it randomly because He lives in
my hands and eyes and draws them to His message. He
draws me to what is pertinent for that moment and what I
am thinking.) He is SO amazing. I was walking down the
hall back to my computer and opened the book and had NO
memory of this vision being in her book. This is where
the book opened:
ANNIE’S VISION: THE FULLNESS OF HIS WORD
“Once again in marvelous mercies He reached down;
lifting me up in His arms of love, He took me into the
world of light to show me more of the wonders and
mysteries of His unseen things.
God does not communicate with us as we communicate with
one another. His words and ways of communicating are so
utterly different from ours that there is really no
comparison. Sending forth a few bits of information or
an idea that will enlarge man’s fund of knowledge is our
way of communication, but it is not His. When God
communicates with us, He sends forth a word with a part
of Himself in it. His way of communicating is to send
forth a very part of Himself to us. His word, if word
it might be called - is a part of Himself in living
power filled with light, vibrant life and creative
force. Thus, when His Word comes to us it is filled
with the very life of God Himself.
He has given His own ones a special gift: the faculty
of reception that enables them to receive this
communicated part of Himself. This ability, which is
far superior to hearing, is a spiritual sense that
enables them not only to receive this living word from
God, but also to receive all the fullness with which it
comes to them. No part or portion of His word is either
lost or screened out for lack of our ability to receive
its fullness. In this way He gives us, time after time,
a living part of Himself which builds up His nature
within us.
From God came forth a living word, accompanied by a
force of fulfillment, which caused His word to be
executed and thereby fulfilled. This word was sent to
bring forth, as it were, a very concentrated essence
from among His owns ones, which came forth by the power
and force of His word sent to them.”

TO KNOW THE FELLOWSHIP OF HIS SUFFERINGS
To swallow the Words of Jesus is to swallow Him. To
swallow Jesus’ works is to swallow Him. We each are
given the right to eat at His table every day and we
need to pursue Him until we find our rightful daily
portion. It is vital to know the Presence of God and
Who He is, now and in the days to come, when exposed to
the supernatural - so that we may accurately discern
between the religious mindset and hearts of God and
men. We will not be able to do this unless we have
supped with and swallowed Jesus and known Him and the
fellowship of His sufferings.
Phil 3:7-11 NKJV
But what things were gain to me, these I have counted
loss for Christ. 8 Yet indeed I also count all things
loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus
my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all
things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain
Christ 9 and be found in Him, not having my own
righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is
through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from
God by faith; 10 that I may know Him and the power of
His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings,
being conformed to His death, 11 if, by any means, I may
attain to the resurrection from the dead.
He truly bears our grief and sorrows and He will use any
available vessel He can to seek out and minister to
those who are suffering. And God says, “Who will go for
Me? Who is willing to walk in My shoes and carry My
heart?” When you go, you shall see the labor of His
soul and be satisfied.
Isa 53:12 NKJV
He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him,
There is no beauty that we should desire Him. 3 He is
despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and
acquainted with grief .And we hid, as it were, our faces
from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. 4
Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and
afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for
our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are
healed. 6 All we like sheep have gone astray; We have
turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid
on Him the iniquity of us all. 7 He was oppressed and
He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was
led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before
its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. 8 He
was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will
declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land
of the living; For the transgressions of My people He
was stricken. 9 And they made His grave with the wicked
— But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no
violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth. 10 Yet it
pleased the LORD to bruise Him; He has put Him to grief
.When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall
see His seed, He shall prolong His days, And the
pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in His hand. 11 He
shall see the labor of His soul, and be satisfied. By
His knowledge My righteous Servant shall justify many,
For He shall bear their iniquities. 12 Therefore I will
divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide
the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His
soul unto death, And He was numbered with the
transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made
intercession for the transgressors. |
