The Holy City, Jerusalem Wife of the Lamb

The Holy City, Jerusalem Wife of the Lamb Dimensions:

Spiritually 

There is no temple is in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple

The city shines with the glory of God

The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him.  They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp

There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.

The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it

The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into the city

Nothing impure will ever enter the city, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life

I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.

The City in general 

A measuring rod of gold was used to measure the city, its gates and its walls

The city is laid out like a square, as long as it was wide

One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia (approximately 1,400 miles) in length, and as wide and high as it is long

The brilliance of the city is like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal

The great street of the city is of gold, as pure as transparent glass

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse.

Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city. Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

Wall and Gates 

The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits (72 yards) thick

The wall was made of jasper, and the city of pure gold, as pure as glass

The city has a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates

On the gates are written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel

There are three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west

The twelve gates are twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl

On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there

Foundation 

The wall of the city has twelve foundations, and on them are the names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

The foundations of the city walls are decorated with every kind of precious stone:
The first foundation was jasper,
the second sapphire,
the third agate,
the fourth emerald,
the fifth onyx,
the sixth ruby,
the seventh chrysolite,
the eighth beryl,
the ninth topaz,
the tenth turquoise,
the eleventh jacinth,
and the twelfth amethyst



My interpretation of what The Holy City The New Jerusalem will look like:
- God and the Lamb are the temple and they will be seated on a throne either in the middle of the city or there back to the center of one of the walls
- God and the Lamb will have servants who serve them.  Those honorable servants will be clearly marked as the name of the Lord will be written on their foreheads.  Which means people in the future will certainly have some form of a body with a head.
- At our present earth is governed by the sun and to a much lesser extent the moon.  Without the sun all plant life would cease to live and no one would be able to see anything as eventually all light sources outside of sun would cease.  We would be in complete darkness which would lead to chaos.  Ultimately no sun means no life.  In the new world to come the concepts of sun, moon, and any form of light will be obsolete.  God himself will replace those things and he himself will be the basis of all knowledge, intelligence, and power.   In other words all people living in the Holy City will walk by Spirit not by the lesser forces of might or strength.  The servants of God will always see through the eyes of God.  They will see as he means for them to see and not by the lower powers we presently see by.  They will see and experience the world from truth of how God meant for us to see things.  
- Mankind of this age have three eternal destination in the after life: the New Jerusalem, the nations of the earth, or the second death also referred to as lake of fire
- the battle against impurity will continue through all eternity however it will never be enter the Gates of the Holy City
- decay and vulnerability of death will ever be present outside of the gates of the Holy City.  At any time of the Holy presence of God is death.  The people of the nations will rely upon the Holy City for all life as the light will be shown from the glory of God, the leaves are the source of healing for the nations, and the river of life flows from the throne of God.  All three of these vital sources must regularly be supplied and are only available from the source of all life which is the Holy City.  
- the city will be a square open on the top.  There are a total of 12 gates three on all four sides of the city.  The city is a little less than 1,400 miles long as it wide as it is tall.  1,400 miles is like going from the farthest southern tip of Texas to mid Iowa.
- the city will have 12 foundations my guess is the entire make up of the entire city including walls and foundations will be like a rectangle like the old testament tabernacle.  Perhaps the foundations in their entirety will also be 1,400 miles in length, height, and width.  Perhaps each one will be 1,000 stadia (over 115 miles)

Thoughts on the great river, jumbo merge (ge 2:9-14; re 22:1-4) 

Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city.  10 A river watering the garden flowed from Eden; On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.from there it was separated into four headwaters. 11 The name of the first is the Pishon; it winds through the entire land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 (The gold of that land is good; aromatic resin[a] and onyx are also there.) 13 The name of the second river is the Gihon; it winds through the entire land of Cush.[b] 14 The name of the third river is the Tigris; it runs along the east side of Ashur. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

  3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads.

Right vs. Holy

Let the one who does wrong continue to do wrong; let the vile person continue to be vile; let the one who does right continue to do right; and let the holy person continue to be holy.
- Revelation 22:11

According to the book of Revelation the most high sacred scriptures the character of a person falls into one of four general categories:
1) wrong (also listed as unjust, unrighteous, impure, or evil doer)
2) vile also known as filthy
3) right or
4) holy

Furthermore I would then state by faith that every decision has four possible directions wrong, vile, right, or holy.  In any case at all times the children of God are always called to live holy lives and to call shots that are whole.  I believe the definition and difference of wrong and vile are obvious.  However distinguishing right from holy requires a high degree of discernment.

A righteous person makes good decisions absent of the whole.


Decisions to live a right life or make a right decision leads to fatigue and more importantly a life in relationship with facts (law) and not the Holy Spirit of God.   A holy life and decisions based in the objective of a holy outcome yield divine optimization.  Holiness is the key to entering the Presence of God.  In his Presence ones life and decisions made; will be carried on the back of the Almighty.  One will find rest and most importantly one will establish a intimate friendship with God.    

Four Cups: How to manifest miracles

Christ Jesus Everlasting King of all heavens and earth has proclaimed all authority and power has been given to us to provide boundless FREEDOM to every person.  However every mountain that needs to be moved has a key.  The key is found in the mystery of the Lord's Prayer which decoded is the first four fruits of the Tree of Life.  The first four fruits are the blood of the lamb which is also referred to as the Four Cups.

In short to concur the impossible requires a journey into the desert from out of Egypt to the promise land.  The journey in this case is the meditation of the Four Cups.   To bring about miracles in impossible or difficult situations one must ask four questions:
1) What do I need to STOP doing?
2) What do I need to START doing?
3) What do I need to FIX?
4) What do I need to ADDRESS?

You have the power and authority to fulfill the answers of these these four questions.  The answers are the offering required to exchange a higher dosage of blood to free you of the situation faced and fulfill the impossible.  Your investment of energy into the Four Cup questions releases a more abundant flow of the blood of Jesus to remove the impossible barrier that faces you.

According to the following text a healing practitioner appointed by Christ Jesus can increase his power and authority to override the afflictions of another through prayer,  specifically the Lords Prayer.  The Lords Prayer was divine spiritual law from garden of Havilah spoken to the disciples in code.  Decoded the Lords Prayer is the first four fruits of the Tree of Life and is what is known as the Four Cups.    
Matthew 6:5-15;Matthew 10:1; luke 9:1-6;mathew 17:1-20; Mark 9:1-29;luke 10:1-24;luke 11:1-11 

Use your limited ability to fulfill the Four Cups and in exchange God will use his boundless ability to remove the impossible for you.

Opportunity: The Definition of Everlasting Life

This journal entry is dedicated to my wife Kayla L. Briggs the third love of my next to God and his beloved son king Jesus of all of created things.  Kayla is the one who shared with me the following scripture that is the inspiration of my now new understanding of the definition of life from a biblical perspective.  

Whoever pursues righteousness and love 

finds life, prosperity and honor 

Proverbs 21:21 NIV

I find it interesting that the bible frequently list "life" as one of the benefits of the kingdom of heaven.  Life is most often thought as the all inclusive benefit or reward of our faith in Jesus Christ.  However life is not the benefit of heaven.  It is more so the opportunity of duties utilized to obtain the benefits of Gods will.

Opportunity can be defined in the following manner: 

- a set of circumstances that makes it possible to do something
- an appropriate or favorable time or occasion
- a situation or condition favorable for attainment of a goal

- a good position, chance, or prospect, as for advancement or success 

Therefore God gives us the set of circumstances (opportunity) that result in the benefits of life.  Consider the following scripture as an illustration of this point

He dreamed that there was a ladder (stairway) placed on the earth, and the top of it reached [out of sight] toward heaven; 

and [he saw] the angels of God ascending and descending on it [going to and from heaven].

Genesis 28:12Amplified Bible (AMP)

My interpretation of scriptures leads me to conclude that life (opportunity, circumstances) is the ladder that is built by our hands.  God gives us the responsibility of building and maintaining life.  When we build the stairway of life it allows the angels of heaven to deliverer the benefits of heaven.  These benefits include provision, long life, prosperity, health, success, fulfillment, honor, glory, praise, loving relationships, etc.  Therefore the angels of God are responsible for producing our success.  We are responsible for understanding the pattern of life, building that ladder of opportunity, and maintain this set of circumstances or opportunity that create the ideal conditions for the work of the heavenly angels.  

Again life is liken to the ladder in Jacobs dream.  The ladder is much like a job in which comes with a pattern which we are responsible to build based upon this God given plan. The better the pattern of the job description is fulfilled the better the reward of the job.  According to the book of Revelation life has twelve (12) steps in this ladder stairway.  The first four steps are the blood of Jesus otherwise called the Four Cups.  The next five steps are what is called Prayer Incense and the last three are the Harp. 

The following is the greatest discovery of opportunity that ever was, is, or ever will be known to mankind.  They are eternal.  They are the eternal life.  These twelve steps are the summary of the pattern of life leading to the presence of God.  The presence of God is an opportunity or life with endless boundless eternal benefit and reward.

I vow to commit my entire life to the pursuit and consumption of these twelve fruits of the tree of life!  May God allow me the grand opportunity to be a witness of rewards associated with the practice of this Tabernacle Patter.

Praise God I love you!


Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. 3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.
Revelation 22:1-5 NIV 

My son, pay attention to what I say; turn your ear to my words. 21 Do not let them out of your sight, keep them within your heart;  22 for they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body. 23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.

Proverbs 4:20-23 NIV

Four Cups: Activating the powers of the Garden of Eden

Revelation 22:1-5

CUP 1 of Salvation = Purity
Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city.

CUP 2 of Deliverance = Edification
On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month.

CUP 3 of Redemption = Divine Restoration
And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

CUP of 4 Fulfillment = Protection
3 No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. 4 They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5 There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.


Mark 14:23-24
23“This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many,” he said to them.  24 Then he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and they all drank from it.

Much like how DNA is to the physical life of each person, the blood of Jesus is the seed of the Garden of Eden including the river of life and the tree of life.  According to Revelation 22, Mark 14, and many other scriptures the tree of life is within every person that has accepted the blood of Jesus.  Therefore to activate the powers of the Garden of Eden within you one must only ask and then act upon the following four questions:

S.S.F.A (Stop, Start, Fix, and Address) 
1) what do I need to STOP doing?
2) what do I need to START or continue doing? 
3) what do I need to FIX?
4) what do I need to ADDRESS?

The written answers to the aforementioned questions is the Garden of Eden including her life giving waters and tree.  The powers of the Garden of Eden are activated when the believer actively engages the request of S.S.FA.

Two Witnesses: Appointed Anointed to Stand and Serve

Revelation 11:3-6Amplified Bible (AMP)

3 And I will grant authority to My two witnesses, and they will prophesy for twelve hundred and sixty days (forty-two months; three and one-half years), dressed in [a]sackcloth.” 4 These [witnesses] are the two olive trees and the two lampstands which stand before the Lord of the earth. 5 And if anyone wants to harm them, fire comes out of their mouth and devours their enemies; so if anyone wants to harm them, he must be killed in this way. 6 These [two witnesses] have the power [from God] to shut up the sky, so that no rain will fall during the days of their prophesying [regarding judgment and salvation]; and they have power over the waters (seas, rivers) to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every [kind of] plague, as often as they wish.

Revelation 11:3-6 New International Version (NIV)

JOB  3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”  4 They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”

Hidden Manna 5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die.

3.5 Prophecy Power 6 They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.

Zechariah 4 New International Version (NIV)
1 Then the angel who talked with me returned and woke me up, like someone awakened from sleep. 2 He asked me, “What do you see?”

I answered, “I see a solid gold lampstand with a bowl at the top and seven lamps on it, with seven channels to the lamps. 3 Also there are two olive trees by it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.”

4 I asked the angel who talked with me, “What are these, my lord?”

5 He answered, “Do you not know what these are?”

“No, my lord,” I replied.

6 So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.

7 “What are you, mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground. Then he will bring out the capstone to shouts of ‘God bless it! God bless it!’”

Purpose of the two witnesses
8 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 9 “The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this temple; his hands will also complete it. Then you will know that the Lord Almighty has sent me to you.

10 “Who dares despise the day of small things, since the seven eyes of the Lord that range throughout the earth will rejoice when they see the chosen capstone in the hand of Zerubbabel?”

11 Then I asked the angel, “What are these two olive trees on the right and the left of the lampstand?”

12 Again I asked him, “What are these two olive branches beside the two gold pipes that pour out golden oil?”

13 He replied, “Do you not know what these are?”

“No, my lord,” I said.

14 So he said, “These are the two who are anointed to serve the Lord of all the earth.”

Revelation 11:3-6 (MBriggs Interpretation)

3 And I will appoint my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days (three and half years starting at June 1, 3830 AD - Jan 1, 0001ADA), clothed in sackcloth.” 4 They are “the two olive trees” and the two lampstands, and “they stand before the Lord of the earth.”  5 If anyone tries to harm them, fire comes from their mouths and devours their enemies. This is how anyone who wants to harm them must die. 6 They have power to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain during the time they are prophesying; and they have power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.

An expert witness may or may not also be a percipient witness, as in a doctor or may or may not have treated the victim of an accident or crime.  A reputation witness is one who testifies about the reputation of a person or business entity, when reputation is material to the dispute at issue.

Prophesy - say that (a specified thing) will happen in the future, to prophesy, to be a prophet, speak forth by divine inspirations, to predict to prophesy with the idea of foretelling future events pertaining esp. to the kingdom of God to utter forth, declare, a thing which can only be known by divine revelation to break forth under sudden impulse in lofty discourse or praise of the divine counsels
under like prompting, to teach, refute, reprove,

Clothed -  to throw around, to put around to surround a city with a bank (palisade) of garments, to clothe one to put a thing on one to clothe one with a thing to put on or clothe one's self. put clothes on (oneself or someone); dress."she was clothed all in white" synonyms: dress, attire, robe, garb, array, costume, swathe, deck (out), turn out, fit out, rig (out); More provide (someone) with clothes. past participle: clothed "they already had eight children to feed and clothe" endow with a particular quality.  "you have been clothed with power from on high"

a garment of the like material, and clinging to the person like a sack, which was wont to be worn (or drawn over the tunic instead of the cloak or mantle) by mourners, penitents, suppliants and also by those who like the Hebrew prophets, lead an austere life.

Sackcloth is a coarse, black cloth made from goat’s hair that was worn together with the burnt ashes of wood as a sign of mourning for personal and national disaster, as a sign of repentance and at times of prayer for deliverance.

Olive trees - the two witnesses are the olive trees that each harness the lampstand, operate not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.  Zerubbabel is stronger than any mighty mountain as he is able to level any impossible obstacle to the ground.  The Glory of God will be shown through the works of Zerubbabel and he will have great support from many.  Those supporters will gladly receive the capstone which we interpret as Eternal Tabernacle Prayer.  Not only will Zerubbabel be the one to bring forth the Eternal Tabernacle to the world but they will be the leading voice of the church from the time of the laying of the capstone until the time of the beast 0ADA.  The confidence and reliance the Church will give to Christ Jesus will reach unprecedented levels as a result of the witness of the work of Zerubbabel.   The host of heaven will do the work of identifying and declaring the mantle of Zerubbabel.  Not by his own strength or power but by the Spirit will he be established to the whole world.  A small nothing that no one ever knew will rise to be a world leader of the God's people for a couple millennia on earth until the day of 0ADA.  Their will be two Zerubbabel's one for the western world and the other for the east.  The one for the west will be a Cush and the other will be the old testament Jewish captive that stood before the lord of Babylon.  The Zerubbabel's are twin souls having the same job (appointment) and favor of God (anointing).  Zerubbabel has high appointments and anointing from Apollyon as well up until 3.5 years before 0ADA.  The Jewish Zerubbabel laid the capstone of the Second Temple that dwelled in Jerusalem.  The Cush Zerubbabel will lay the capstone of the Eternal Tabernacle that dwells in the hearts of every being called to the land of Havilah.  The Jewish Zerubbabel will soon return to Earth with the rest of the Saints that patiently wait to take dominion upon the Earth.  The Jewish and Cush Zerubbabel will share a twin assignment to continue the building of the Eternal Tabernacle in every person that will receive the Gospel.  They will also serve as the anointed prophets to herald the word of King Jesus to the inhabitants of the Earth as well as to represent Kingdom of God before The Ruler of the Earth.

Gold Pipes - the two witnesses will both be equipped with a spiritual gift of harvesting revenue without toil.  Their job is to manage the wealth and profits of other people so that those people and they themselves will prosper.  The income is unlimited and will flow abundantly to them as readily as water from a spout.  The flow of income is readily abundant, pure, and unending.  The income made will pour out from an organization liken to a company or enterprise that will be highly valuable.   


Lampstands - we know the lampstand is the divine Harp also mentioned in the book of Revelation.  The lampstand is the instrument used to communicate the will of heaven to the musician.  The lampstand simultaneously lights the path of the player and brings delight to God who is the audience of the music.   In this case the two witnesses are the musicians who serve as the lead ambassadors of the Kingdom of Heaven before King Apollyon and his Kingdom Babylon the ruler of Eden.  In his absence The Witnesses will peacefully negotiate directly with the sons of Apollyon and will later work directly with Apollyon when he appears.  The Witnesses will also administrate the business of the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.  All negotiations and administration will be channeled through the perspective of the lampstand.  

Harm - the penalty of anyone who wants to, wills to, intends to, or tries to harm the Two Witnesses is assassination by fire.  The verbal command from the two witnesses is all that is required to be eaten by fire.  Anyone that wants to harm the witnesses will painfully be devoured by fire that will lead to death.  Meaning those that have the intent to harm the two witnesses will die by fire even when the Two Witnesses are not aware of the intent.    Harm is defined as any action that would threaten anything the two witnesses have an interest in or care for.  This would include but is not limited to body, people, organizations, possessions, plans, etc.  There is no limit on what degree of harm would be classified by heaven as a breach of "want" to harm.  There is no mercy, lesser penalty, or gradient to the law.  Any level of planning or intent to harm the Two Witnesses is automatically without due process bares the burden of an immediate and brutal death by fire.   Desire to harm may not result in death however when the desire crosses over to wanting to harm them then the person would be immediately put to death more than likely by the host of heaven or by command of one of both of the two witnesses.  The witnesses will be made aware of all threats and will have no fear of loss.  Refer to Elijah in 2 Kings 1 as an example of such power.

Enemies - the two witnesses will have those who are actively opposed or hostile toward them however the seed of their feeling will not reach beyond the realm of desire as any action beyond that point would result in death by fire.

Power - power of choice, liberty of doing as one pleases.  During the time they are prophesying they have the ability to shut up the heavens so that it will not rain and turn water into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they want.  In other words these two earthly beings will be granted all the controls of earth for three and a half years June 1, 3820 AD - Jan 1, 0001 ADA.   

Plague -  For three and a half years of the prophesy they will have the power to cause a blow, stripe, wound, public calamity, heavy affliction, and continual trouble or distress to the earth.  They have the power to strike the earth with any and every kind of plague, as often as they wish.  The two have power from God to shut up the sky, so that no rain will fall during the days of their prophesying; and they have power over the waters (seas, rivers) to turn them into blood, and to strike the earth with every [kind of] plague, as often as they wish.  They essentially will have the power of Moses listed in Exodus 7-11.


Interpretation of the Two Witnesses
In days to come two men will represent King Jesus of the New Jerusalem to come before the all mankind.  They will serve as ambassadors of King Jesus and the stewards of the will of heaven on earth.  The world Church will listen to them and will be well equipped by the power and resources of the two witnesses.   They will unit the Church body under one mission and common purpose of building the Eternal Tabernacle within the hearts and mind of as many people that will receive the good news.  In order to fulfill the word of the Lord, the Lord will move the heart of Apollyon King of Babylon to support the two witnesses in their appointed assignment of building tabernacle temple message (Ezra 1 - 2).  The two witnesses work directly with King Appollyon the ruling lord over all the earth and enjoy his full support on all their efforts (Zec 4:14; Rev 11:4). 

The two witnesses are and will be equipped with certain Powers and Resources that will help many people come to believe in the message of Jesus Christ and his will the Eternal Tabernacle.  The building of the Eternal Tabernacle started with the Jewish Zerrubabbel from Zechariah 4 and will be completed by both of them upon their rising to life in Revelation 11:7-13.  The two witness will harness the power of the following recourses:
- lampstand
- the favor of the kingdom of heaven and the kingdom of earth
- no harm is allowed to come upon them or anything or anyone they care for
- unlimited and abundant flow of universal financial currency given to them without toil.  Their financial profession will be more in line with being investors.  
- during the last three and half years of their lives upon earth they will reach the height of their power as they will be given authority over all the ecosystem of the earth.  Anyone that moves from desire to harm to intent is liable to die by fire.

The Lord's Prayer: Song of the Four Cups

Our Lord and dear savior Jesus Christ the eternal ruler of God's creation gave us two songs that serve as keys to unlocking the will of heaven on Earth.  The first was given to us when the disciples asked Jesus for words of power to override evil.  In the days and places Jesus walked the Earth the use of dark words including magic spells, heck's, curses, sorcerers, and charms were commonly used  throughout popular society.  People had access to power derived from words they spoke that were given to them from spiritual beings banished from heaven and now roaming the earth.

Consequently the disciples desired powerful words that would overrule and cast down evil that was spoken either over their own lives or those they desired to help.  Christ Jesus gave them the Lord's Prayer as the antidote for driving evil from our lives and the world around us at large.  Whom ever speaks The Lord's Prayer purifies the world of evil each time they are uttered to a predetermined degree on each application of use. 

The Lords Prayer is one of two songs produced and distributed by Jesus as keys to unlocking the will of heaven onto earth.

The Lords Prayer drives demonic evil away while the other song does the very opposite and drives the presence of God into the earth. 

9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name,

CUP 3 of Redemption = Divine Restoration
10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

CUP 2 of Deliverance = Edification
11 Give us today our daily bread.

CUP 1 of Salvation = Purity
12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

CUP 4 of Fulfillment = Protection 
13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

Over time as your faith increases you will say both prayers together as one song and will say Matthew 6:9-13 and  Revelation 15:3-4:

1. Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

2. Give us today our daily bread.

3. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.

4. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.


1. Great and marvelous are your deeds, Lord God Almighty.

2. Just and true are your ways,  King of the nations.

3. Who will not fear you, Lord, and bring glory to your name?  For you alone are holy.

4. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous acts have been revealed.


The Lord's Prayer Matthew 6:9-13
9 “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.  13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.’

NO MAN IS AN ISLAND By Pastor Lee Domingue

A man who isolates himself seeks his own desire; he rages against all sound judgment. Proverbs 18:1

Every one of us as Legacy builders must understand that the quality of our success in every area of life will be dependent upon the quality of our relationships. Any king who thinks he can fulfill his destiny without several strong, intimate relationships is a fool.  I cannot put it any plainer than that.  As my Pastor Chris Hodges says; "show me you friends and I will show you your future."

We were made in the likeness and image of God (Genesis 1:26) and God is a relationship! Think about it: He is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. So in essence, although all three are one, they are still each a distinct and unique Person, each engaged in a relationship with each other. It’s a mystery, and difficult to wrap our minds around, but that doesn’t make it less true. The very thing that makes God, God, is relationship.

In addition, when God walked on this planet, He was all about relationships. Jesus cherished His time with the 3 (Peter, James, & John), with the 12 Apostles, and with the 70 who were mentored by Him and sometimes even were sent out into ministry. If Jesus needed the support and comradery of friends, how much more do we?

Every Legacy builder must make it a priority to build and to nurture vulnerable and God-centered relationships. These people around you will sharpen you, keep you accountable, and inspire you to be all you can be. They will be there to celebrate your greatest victories and to support you through your toughest trials. Make it a point today to reach out and nurture the God-given relationships in your life.

NO MAN IS AN ISLAND

By Pastor Lee Domingue

Church of the Highlands, Feb 2, 2016  

-------------------------------------------------------------

I received this message written by Pastor Lee Domingue as an instruction of divine discernment.  I believe the truth of No Man is an Island will help me make wiser decisions when considering new ventures in both ministry and in business.  The most effective method of building and sustaining any organization of any size requires a dedicated small group of people that jointly buy into the vision, passion, and labor of the purpose of that unit.  

From my understanding a healthy organization appoints one leader to SERVE as the shepherd of the group and one to two other co-leaders that assist the leader to drive the entity to fulfillment.  

Ideally the strongest attributes of the leader should be that s/he is led by the Holy Spirit, servants heart, humility, a collaborator of ideas both externally and internally, an effective communicator, loves to share, and has a high unwavering code of conduct and ethics.   

In addition to the aforementioned a good co-leader also has one or more of the following attributes to contribute to the team: leadership, energy, people connections, finances, real estate, possessions, team builder, or talent (maintenance, staffing, sales, technical,etc).   Underneath every co-leader, as the organization grows, their should be one to two other co-leaders that support her in the same likeness as discussed earlier.  This pattern should repeated at every area and level of the organization.   

My purpose and that of KM Briggs, LLC in general is to serve as a co-leader much more often then as a leader.  It is our desire and passion to support leaders who are the heart and soul of the organization that God has appointed them to lead.  

Thank you Jesus for Pastor Lee and his message that has helped to cultivate a stronger understanding of my purpose and that of KM Briggs, LLC as a whole.  May you continue to bless all the passions and cares of Pastor Lee.       

Amen
