PRAISE IS THE POWER THAT OPENS THE DOOR

Lower down is a prophetic dream I had about praising God. The Lord said to me this morning it is time to post the prophetic dream and My Bride needs to praise me in Scripture. He is restoring the garment of Praise to His Bride at this very time. But He is saying you have to put this garment on yourself. He is saying --- Go back to "Scripture in Song" ---- No more worship songs of "self and soul"  in my house.!!  You have been worshipping "the beast" in my house. Because you have taken scripture out of your voice the enemy has come in like a flood. Because you have been feeding the flesh the enemy has been feasting on your flesh and he's been magnified in your life. He has broken into your house and robbed you of the joy and victory that is yours. . As you praise me with scripture you will be filled with FAITH & POWER TO OVERCOME AND MY ANNOINTING WILL INCREASE IN YOUR LIFE.

The fruit of our lips giving thanks...... You know the old song --- "This is my commandment that you love one another that your joy may be full. That your joy may be full. That your joy may be full. This is my commandment that you love one another that your joy may be full."

As we were singing this song there came a tremendous release in the Spirit and an outpouring of His Love and joy --- then I had a vision. In the vision I saw our Father's cup being filled and overflowing with JOY. ....I saw our Father full of JOY!!  I was serving Him and His cup was being filled. Praise God!! To bring joy to our Father. What a wonderful honour and privilege to serve Him in such a way.

As Greg and I have been praising Him with scripture the spirit of prophecy, vision and revelation has been coming upon us in an increased measure.


A dream about the garment of Praise

1988, 1989 that I had it. Not sure which. The dream was so vivid that I can recount it 20 or so years later.

 
That night I had a dream.

 The landscape in the dream was very arid. Blackness was all over the earth, it was perpetually night, there was no moon and no stars. There was no day, no sun, no light.  It was also stormy, freezing cold, howling, windy and rainy. There were no trees, no grass, no flowers, no  life. Just earth and rocks.... very arid.

 I was amongst a group of people and we were all wearing old, protective storm weather gear, like sailors would wear on a ship in a storm. Big full length, heavy oil skin coats and oil skin hats. We all carried a lantern each, they looked like old ship lanterns. There were naked, broken bodies lying everywhere and we were all pushing large old wooden carts, picking up the broken bodies and laying them in the carts. We worked steadily, quietly and diligently, and we worked together in unison.

 As we were doing this I looked up and far out into the darkness, it was as if my eyes were looking to the uttermost parts of the earth. Then God spoke to me and He said "Before I return, a counterfeit supernatural wave of power manifesting miracles, signs and wonders and declaring to be of me is going to come upon the earth like the world has never known before and it will deceive many."  I then saw it coming out from the uttermost parts of the world, high up, out of the black, night sky and descending upon the earth, then sweeping across the world with speed and deliberation. I immediately got a sense of the urgency of the hour and time was short.

 The dream then shifts to myself. My day is about to start, but remember it is dark and there is perpetual blackness. I'm getting dressed. There are many garments laid out for me to wear, quite a few under garments also. I'm putting them all on. It's quite a laborious task putting each of these articles of clothing and accessories on, doing up all the buttons etc. In fact the real hard work in my dream, wasn't picking up the broken bodies and putting them into the carts, it was getting dressed each day.

  It is cold and I want to dress quickly. I come to a waist jacket and I decide it isn't that necessary and I won't put it on today, I'll skip it. I'm thinking, after all it won't keep me warm, it's not the  jersey or oilskin coat. Thats the  clothing that really matters in this type of weather. And immediately the Lord rebuked me and said "that waistcoat is the "garment of praise" You must wear it." I then woke up immediately, in the middle of the night and I felt the Lord speaking in my spirit saying.... This is why you have been getting discouraged Maria, you haven't been praising me through this difficult time in your life.

 
Each article of clothing was speaking of more than just the foundational truths like grace and faith, love, prayer, or the armour of God, but other biblical principles eg. "Put on the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness",garments of righteousness. Another principle which should be stated as foundational is eternal judgement, not many like to speak of that one.

 God only emphasised the garment of praise to me in the dream, the garment I was overlooking and lacking. The lantern was clearly His Word.... "Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path."  This speaks of His word in the night hour,the dark hour of our lives. And we all have them.

The broken, naked bodies speak of our dear brothers and sisters that have not been clothed in these garments in this dark, cold, self seeking and brutal hour. Simply because they just didn't know how to. These are the ones who have been smashed and broken in the current dark, cold & loveless spiritual climate. These are the casualties.

 Psalm 142:7

 Psalm 109:30
I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

I read some scriptures out loud as well, today (its what the voice of the Lord said). During my quite time, for about 45 minutes, the Lord spoke a lot, sometimes too fast to be able to write it all down (this is basically the reason I did not do bible study at all anymore, but I kept on reading every day of course). TheLord forbid' me too pray for the two guys I told about, who I think, have the impressions that they are still praying for me, but instead the Lord asked me to stretch both hands, which I did. Also once it happened during service, the Lord did not let me look at the preacher, on command. Later on, I could hardly imagine why not, but thats the way its like.

Tonight, during our national remembrance of WWII at 20.00 pm (GTM +1), I prayed for our queen and our prime minister, almost kind of cried, before the panic was there. it was a man dressed up like a orthodox jew and there were about 50 wounded people.   

The most 'glorious' thing was this afternoon. I was sitting outside and about twenty, thirty pigeons came flying from behind my back. I could feel the wind and I just had to laugh out of joy. It looked magnificent.

Later it turned out a kind of car accident happened near a place called 'pigeons' (Duiven).

And I have entered with thanksgiving and worship  this morning for me, but after night shift, so 13.30 am (GMT+1).

(and I have rebuked, long while back even since that word came up in my mind, just before latest edit i did as well: do not rebuke, on which I rebuke by which I mean I say: I rebuke, and bc it is an order of the Lord the strength is in his word. It is my faith that it has a supernatural reason and result, but i really have no clue.., keep on following the directions)

But I really hope THIS is the fullfillment of the two dreams of Kathy Bippus, so reigning in Christ and speaking life int our circumstances (while typing heard: 'do not prophecy', also heard about twente minutes back, my response is: the revival will be great, i do this for weeks literally )

and do not speak there is a song, when he speaks the earth trembles. So after the speakcommand i say something like 'please come closer'.  

The 'albeit i'll beat' (response Eilene), was just a gift. I bet Í will never know what kind of prayer or by whom I got the gift. Thats something I'm curious of. Bc it was fun, and I sure didn't made it up myself. So glory to God!

(getting the impression someone is setting at desk next to me, behind pc and  hearing repeatedly 'and zip not', i'm having one of the firms finest cup a soups )
