The Rapture? Or are we talking about another way of looking at things? Rising of the Spirit for a time such as this (Esther 4:14)? We do get synchronicities, it is where we get to see something over and over again in the spiritual, but we must not forget to confirm it by the Truth. Our walk has been an instruction of balancing Spirit and Truth. If we rely too much on the Spirit, then doctrines will be created and it will be too loose without THE MEAT or sustenance. If it is too much on Truth or “Law” then the walk becomes too dry and rigid, religious. Too much spirit will also become too religious in its own right, you are to know the Holy Spirit for many come as a form as an angel of light only to realize they are deception; therefore, you need the Word to confirm. Remember, that too much law can also make one’s heart cold and not enough love, then there is nothing as well.

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 

God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
John 4:23-24

The Greatest Gift
1Corinthians 13
13 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. 2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body [a]to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.
4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not [b]puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, [c]thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8 Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part. 10 But when that which is [d]perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.
13 And now abide faith, hope, love, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

This is our walk and it may resonate with many of you. If it does not, it is ok to disagree with us. You have your own unique walk and will reach those you need to. In our understanding as of now, we are all on this planet to create a better heaven on earth for each of us, where HE resides. His Kingdom is in us. It is time to Pay it Forward, Make things right, and Change the world every place we set our feet on!

Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 

nor will they say, [f]‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’ For indeed, the kingdom of God is [g]within you.”
Luke 17:20-21

BUBBLES AND BREATH…….

These pictures here were on Kauai when we still lived there. They are from April 2019. Abba kept talking to me through bubbles. Yup even in BUBBLES! They need the breath in order to RISE up. The moment we are born, HE breathes His breath in us to live on this earth. It is what Abba Yah did to Adam, His first Son who had the indwelling Spirit, He breathed life into Adam who came from the red dirt for we come from the earth and will return to the earth once we pass on from this life. The bubbles also have iridescent colors to them, the spectrum of the rainbow. As there are 7 colors to the Rainbow, there are 7 Spirits to Abba YaHuWaH and His 7 Feasts. So is it fair to say that bubbles are a reflection of us when HE blows HIS breath upon us? Did you know that we are to die a second death in order to be given another LIFE to live? I was dead and now I am alive and it explains it so well in Ezekiel 37:

The Dry Bones Live
37 The hand of the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. 2 Then He caused me to pass by them all around, and behold, there were very many in the open valley; and indeed they were very dry. 3 And He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?”
So I answered, “O Lord God, You know.”
4 Again He said to me, “Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, ‘O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: “Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, and you shall live. 6 I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and put breath in you; and you shall live. Then you shall know that I am the Lord.” ’ ”
7 So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.
9 Also He said to me, “Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, son of man, and say to the [a]breath, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe on these slain, that they may live.” ’ ” 10 So I prophesied as He commanded me, and [b]breath came into them, and they lived, and stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
11 Then He said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They indeed say, ‘Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!’ 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up from your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel. 13 Then you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have opened your graves, O My people, and brought you up from your graves. 14 I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken it and performed it,” says the Lord.’ ”
One Kingdom, One King
15 Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, 16 “As for you, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: ‘For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions.’ Then take another stick and write on it, ‘For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the house of Israel, his companions.’ 17 Then join them one to another for yourself into one stick, and they will become one in your hand.
18 “And when the children of your people speak to you, saying, ‘Will you not show us what you mean by these?’— 19 say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand.” ’ 20 And the sticks on which you write will be in your hand before their eyes.
21 “Then say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord God: “Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land; 22 and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again. 23 They shall not defile themselves anymore with their idols, nor with their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will deliver them from all their dwelling places in which they have sinned, and will cleanse them. Then they shall be My people, and I will be their God.
24 “David My servant shall be king over them, and they shall all have one shepherd; they shall also walk in My judgments and observe My statutes, and do them. 25 Then they shall dwell in the land that I have given to Jacob My servant, where your fathers dwelt; and they shall dwell there, they, their children, and their children’s children, forever; and My servant David shall be their prince forever. 26 Moreover I will [c]make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forevermore. 27 My tabernacle also shall be with them; indeed I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 28 The nations also will know that I, the Lord, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary is in their midst forevermore.” ’ ”

We were dead in religion is what we found out immediately after our experience. HE pulled us out from our home and beloved family and friends and sent us to Kauai to hear HIM better. His Holy Spirit breathed His Breath upon Mike and I on November 19, 2013. We are still Mike and Marcy, but He opened up our minds, through the Holy Spirit, to be given understanding of the Scriptures and many things around us. For no man nor religion could convince us of other doctrines, IT is HIS Word living in us. We are walking with the Ark of the Covenant in us. The mature believer will understand this meat we are talking about. If it does not make sense, we can point you to more scripture and others who are also receiving this understanding. Also, we are not saying that we are walking this perfectly, absolutely not, only our King and Priest Messiah Y’shua did this and we need HIM. We are walking with HIM. His Word is also a sword in our tongue and we are living sacrifices as well as stones which makes our Messiah Y’shua the Chief Cornerstone. Who would want to be a brick? Don’t you want to be a stone? Bricks all look alike, and that comes from religion. The stones understand their place in this world and the breath or the HA that HE has given us just like Abram became AbraHAm and Sarai became SarAH after they laughed and that’s because The Holy Spirit or Ruach HA Kodesh was breathed upon them in order to have a child at their old age. So when we have too much wine, we laugh right? Abraham and Sarah were some of the first bubbles just like wine can have bubbles. Well what does He say about us being new wineskins?

Matthew 9:17
17 Nor do they put new wine into old wineskins, or else the wineskins [a]break, the wine is spilled, and the wineskins are ruined. But they put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

All in all, I have shared about bubbles, the breath, stones & bricks, wine, and wineskins. You must be saying how crazy and weird can I be right? Well I’d rather to be set apart in order to understand the parables given to us in Scripture than not having the Set Apart Spirit and be a brick. For people like us, we study Scripture line upon line, precept upon precept. A modern Berean or an Essenes.

RISE UP, BLOSSOMS, AND TZITZITS……..

It was a year after we were given His breath that we began to study the Torah in depth and we learned that we were to wear Tzitzit (tassels). These tassels in Hebrew is called “tzitzit” (singular) pronounced “seet-seet.”  In the King James Version of the Bible they are translated as “fringe” or “fringes.” These fringes are attached to the “borders” or “corners” of their garments, or tallit.

The LORD also spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the sons of Israel, and tell them that they shall make for themselves tassels on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they shall put on the tassel of each corner a cord of blue.  It shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of the LORD, so as to do them and not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you played the harlot, so that you may remember to do all My commandments and be holy to your God.  I am the LORD your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt to be your God; I am the LORD your God." (Numbers 15:37-41)

 The Septuagint translates the Hebrew word tzitzit into the Greek word κράσπεδον (kraspedon- Strong's #2899).  This word is found in two other verses of the Septuagint in addition to the three places noted above.
 The Hebrew word translated as "corner" in these verses is כנף - kanaph.  It literally means "wing" or "extremity".  It is used in Genesis 1:21 to describe "every winged bird" that G-d created.  It is also used in Psalm 17:8 when David cries out in song "Keep me as the apple of the eye; hide me in the shadow of Your wings."
 The word in the Numbers 15 passage that is translated as "garments" is the common Hebrew word בגד (beged).  It literally means "garment" or "covering".  The noun beged comes from the root verb bagad which means "to cover".
 How to wear the Tzitzit:  The commandment in Deuteronomy indicates tzitzit should be affixed to garments "with four corners".  Since most attire does not have four corners, a special, square "prayer cloak" was devised to which the tzitzit could be affixed.  This is the tallit gadol (the big tallit).   The Hebrew word tallit comes from a root verb (talal) which means "to cover". 

By Psalm 11918.org

We wore them faithfully for two years from Jan 2015 to March 2017. Interesting to note, we met many believers (awakened around the time we were) who wore them too and they wore blue and white tassels (Hebrews). Jewish people only wear all white and this is not in scripture. They too are following additional doctrine through the Talmud.

However, out of the blue, Mike and I received the same feeling in March 2017 to stop wearing them. We now have a different understanding and that we use the tzitzits on the four corners of our prayer shawl as we go in our prayer room and war with our hands (Psalm 144). Abba keeps teaching us through His Holy Spirit. There is so much to learn and we have not stopped learning, in fact, the more we know the less we know. We are to remain humble, teachable, and with a compassionate heart.

Tsiyts in the Hebrew Strong’s Concordance #6731 also means to blossom: blossom, flower, plate, wing; Or tsits {tseets}; from tsuwts; properly, glistening, i.e. A burnished plate; also a flower (as bright-colored); a wing (as gleaming in the air) — blossom, flower, plate, wing.

I love the Hebrew language. It gives a deep understanding and straight forwardness of words. The English as well as the Greek distorts or falls short of what the Jewish Sages actually meant to say. In other words, to wear Tzitzits means to blossom, bloom, flower, plate, wings or fly. The plate…..hmmmm, like being served on the silver platter?

Did Y’shua (Jesus) wear Tzitzits? Take a look and read how HE could have carried a cloak:

While He was saying these things to them, a synagogue official came and bowed down before Him, and said, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live." 

Jesus got up and began to follow him, and so did His disciples.  And a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak; for she was saying to herself, "If I only touch His garment, I will get well."  But Jesus turning and seeing her said, "Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well." At once the woman was made well. (Matthew 9:18-22)

The tallit gadol (tah LEET gah DOHL) is a four-cornered garment that was created as a cloak to cover the entire upper body.  The tzitzit are affixed to the "extremities" (the corners) of this cloak.  Today it is generally worn only during times of prayer; however, in the days of Yeshua, it was common to carry this cloak throughout the day rolled up on one's shoulders.  It was likely this type of cloak that the woman with the issue of blood reached out to touch.  (Matthew 9:18-22)  Tallit gadol means "a big covering".

Psalm11918.org

FLIGHT AND WINGS…..

Therefore, tzitzits or fringes also means wings. Did we fly (wearing tzitzits to learn Torah and understand) to the heavens to meet our Maker? Is this what it means to go up to Mt. Zion? Are we the children of Zion? Is this the rapture? Is this the meeting in the clouds? Is it because we are studying Torah, Keeping Shabbat, and His Holy Feasts? Is this what it means to FLY? Balloons and bubbles need air to fly, do we need His Ruach or HA or HIS BREATH to fly too? Our Spirit Rises! Our understanding changes. HE changes it because we give all Glory to Him. He gives us a peace (Shalom) beyond our understanding and we personally wore Tzitzits/wings/blossoms that are now on our cloaks/mantles/garments/prayer shawls. Search and ask HIM yourself. There are many believers filled with much fear in these days ready to be raptured up. Our hearts go out to them and the least we can do is pray for one another.

This to us is what it means to be CAUGHT UP in the Spirit in order to transform ourselves to the likeness of our Messiah. This is definitely a personal journey with our Maker, our Potter and we are the clay being molded to His image as His Sons and Daughters of Israel. All of Yah’s people in the Bible go through a fire to be purged, and refined into a polished metal work. He calls us His precious jewels. Abba Yah uses everything to reach us from animals, colors, metals, jewels, breath, music, etc…..Abba speaks about His Mighty Ones and Sanctified Ones throughout Scripture especially in Isaiah 13 and Revelations 14. Seek out the Scriptures…..you will love it if you have not done so.

Ephesians 5:14
 For this reason it says,
 “Awake, sleeper,
 And ARISE from the dead,
 And Y'shua will shine on you.”

 Isaiah 26:19
 Your dead will live;
 Their corpses will RISE.
 You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy,
 For your dew is as the dew of the dawn,
 And the earth will give birth to the departed spirits.
 

To conclude the experience of the Rise of the Spirit, we need the goading of the Holy Spirit through Fire. There is not only a water baptismal where the religious leaders baptize you with, it is only The Father that gives His Spirit to us if we accept It. Ask and you shall receive (Matthew 7:7-11).

John 3:5
 Jesus answered, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Acts 2:4
 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit was giving them utterance.

Acts 2:38
Peter said to them, “Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Y'shua (Jesus) for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

 Matthew 3:11
 “As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and FIRE.

Could it be that we receive the FIRE of the Holy Spirit after we repent because we want to change? He gives us an unction, a thirst that is only satisfied by His Ruach doing His will. Ask and we will receive He tells us. We asked many questions and HE has been leading us, teaching us, showing us some amazing things that confirm with others in this path; they too know and understand what we are talking about. This makes us feel taken out of this world or I should say: Caught Up with Him on the clouds or Mt. Zion. Selah *

OCEAN WAVES…..

Riding the waves, going with the current, FLY!!! There are believers who are balancing Spirit and Truth and are riding the currents in these dark times. People see the darkness around them from plagues, control, violence, illnesses, sex and violence, and natural disasters, etc…..but you are the light on the mountain.

14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Matthew 5:14-16

11If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me," 12even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you. 
Psalm 139:11-12

Whatever hardship you may be going through, cling onto the hem (fringes/tassels) of our Messiah Y’shua. We cannot do it on our own. Call out to HIM, get closer to our Father, and that my friend is RIDING THE WAVE. If we fight this on our own, we will lose. We need the Higher Power to lead us through it. We need our Faith and Obedience in Him and He will pull us through.

“One day he got into a boat with the disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side of the lake.” So they set out, and as they said he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water and were in danger. And they went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And he awoke rebuked the waves, and they ceased, and there was a calm. He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even winds and water, and they obey him?” (Luke 8:22-25)

THIS IS IT…….

When we hold fast to faith, to BE STILL, relaxed, and remembering the Truth, we will find our way out of the water by riding the wave. HE is the breath of Life and gives us wings of an eagle in order to soar even in dark times, even in those difficult moments, whatever the circumstance or situation that is very difficult, go to HIM…..our Abba Yah, His Son Y’shua, and the Holy Spirt. He is our Mighty Comforter. THAT IS IT……FAITH: Relax, Believe, Soar, Blossom, Fly, Ride, Float, RISE! And last but not least….Search out the Scriptures like a Berean! Shalom*
