As God’s people, we are in the time frame of the biblical month of Iyar|Siv, which is associated with the tribe of Issachar. The tribe of Issachar is the connector in the first unit of the army of Israel -as there are four units arranged into three tribes each- that connects the tribe of Judah with the tribe of Zebulun (cf. Numbers 2:2-3.5.7.9).
 
Numbers 2:2-3.5.7.9:
2 ‘The Israelites are to camp round the tent of meeting some distance from it, each of them under their standard and holding the banners of their family.’
3 On the east, towards the sunrise: the divisions of the camp of Judah are to camp under their standard. The leader of the people of Judah is Nahshon son of Amminadab. …
5 The tribe of Issachar will camp next to them. The leader of the people of Issachar is Nethanel son of Zuar. …
7 The tribe of Zebulun will be next. The leader of the people of Zebulun is Eliab son of Helon. …
9 All the men assigned to the camp of Judah, according to their divisions, number 186,400. They will set out first.
 
We already know that everything first has a special place with God, so there is a special significance resting on the alignment of the first three tribes of Israel, which result in the first unit within God’s people (cf. Exodus 13:12-13; Exodus 23:19).

Exodus 13:12-13:
12 you are to give over to the Lord the first offspring of every womb. All the firstborn males of your livestock belong to the Lord.
13 Redeem with a lamb every firstborn donkey, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck. Redeem every firstborn among your sons.
 
Exodus 23:19:
19 ‘Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the Lord your God. ‘Do not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.
 
There is a revelatory truth hidden in this connection that we need to take a look at more closely in the light of the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in order to see God’s plan more clearly (cf. Ephesians 1:17-18).
 
Ephesians 1:17-18:
17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, …
 
The Residence of the Prophet Samuel and the Dynamics of Prophecy
 
Among other things, the Holy Spirit calls us to be quickened by the power of worship (note: Judah means ‘praise, worship’) to come to a new place of fellowship with God, which is like the dwelling place (note: Zebulun means ‘dwelling, habitation’) of the prophet Samuel, who lived at Naioth in Ramah, where David sought refuge from Saul (cf. 1 Samuel 19:18-19).

1 Samuel 19:18-19:
18 When David had fled and made his escape, he went to Samuel at Ramah and told him all that Saul had done to him. Then he and Samuel went to Naioth and stayed there.
19 Word came to Saul: ‘David is in Naioth at Ramah’; …
 
In this context, it is about the community of saints who reside or settle in the prophetic culture of God by living in the dynamic of the spirit of prophecy. This results in a spiritual expansion like the prophetic ecstatic state into which Saul’s messengers, and later Saul himself, entered when they came into the presence of the company of prophets (cf. 1 Samuel 19:20-24).
 
1 Samuel 19:20-24:
… 20 so he sent men to capture him. But when they saw a group of prophets prophesying, with Samuel standing there as their leader, the Spirit of God came on Saul’s men, and they also prophesied.
21 Saul was told about it, and he sent more men, and they prophesied too. Saul sent men a third time, and they also prophesied.
22 Finally, he himself left for Ramah and went to the great cistern at Seku. And he asked, ‘Where are Samuel and David?’ ‘Over in Naioth at Ramah,’ they said.
23 So Saul went to Naioth at Ramah. But the Spirit of God came even on him, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth.
24 He stripped off his garments, and he too prophesied in Samuel’s presence. He lay naked all that day and all that night. This is why people say, ‘Is Saul also among the prophets?’
 
The Hebrew word ‘nājôt’ means ‘dwellings’ and comes from the root word ‘nāwāh’, which means ‘pasture, to come to the goal’. (Part excerpt from the Elberfelder Study Bible on the word ‘nājôt’ and the word ‘nāwāh’ with the word key number: 5293*, 5199*, 5196*)
 
It is God’s focus that we get to the next subgoal through Christ Jesus and glorify the Heavenly Father in this way (cf. John 10:9 i.c.w. Psalm 23:2).
 
John 10:9:
9 I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. They will come in and go out, and find pasture.
 
Psalm 23:2:
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, …
 
Jesus when He rode as king on a donkey to Jerusalem and there was publicly acknowledged by the people as the prophet and proclaimed king, as well as later entering the house of God, the temple, also reveals the connection within the first formation of the tribes of Israel between Judah, Issachar and Zebulun.
 
In this context, Judah points to the dimension of the king, Issachar to servanthood in the Holy Spirit, and Zebulun to dwelling in God (cf. Matthew 21:4-11).
 
Matthew 21:4-11:
4 This took place to fulfil what was spoken through the prophet (cf. Zechariah 9:9): 5 ‘Say to Daughter Zion, “See, your king comes to you, gentle and riding on a donkey, and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.” ’
6 The disciples went and did as Jesus had instructed them.
7 They brought the donkey and the colt and placed their cloaks on them for Jesus to sit on.
8 A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the road, while others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road.
9 The crowds that went ahead of him and those that followed shouted, ‘Hosanna to the Son of David!’ ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ‘Hosanna in the highest heaven!’
10 When Jesus entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred and asked, ‘Who is this?’
11 The crowds answered, ‘This is Jesus, the prophet from Nazareth in Galilee.’
 
The Donkey Tied to the Vine
 
It is relevant to know that in the blessing of Jacob on his son Judah, it says that he will tie his donkey to the vine and his donkey’s colt to the choice vine. This was fulfilled by Jesus’ commission to His two sent disciples, who untied the donkey and the colt in order to bring them to Jesus (cf. Genesis 49:11a).
 
Genesis 49:11a:
11a He will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch; …
 
Since Issachar carries the prophetic potential to discern the times to give divine counsel to God’s people and bears the mark of a donkey (cf. 1 Chronicles 12:32 i.c.w. Genesis 49:14), it is necessary that we have our prophetic ability tied to Christ alone. The reason is because only He is the true vine, as well as we are called to continue to live in His truth. As a result, we produce good fruit accordingly, which means decisions in accordance to God’s will, and thus the Heavenly Father is glorified (cf. John 15:5.7-8).
 
1 Chronicles 12:32:
… 32 from Issachar, men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do – 200 chiefs, with all their relatives under their command; …
 
Genesis 49:14:
14 ‘Issachar is a scrawny [strong] donkey lying down among the sheepfolds.
 
John 15:5.7-8:
5 ‘I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. …
7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
8 This is to my Father’s glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
 
Moreover, the vine is an upward-twining plant that calls us to ascend in Christ Jesus in kingly authority to bring God’s kingdom treasures to earth and carry them to their predestined place through the wisdom of Issachar.
 
The ‘Carnivore’, the ‘Herbivore’, and the Dwelling Place of God
 
Based on the connection of the three tribes of Israel in the first unit, the connection between a carnivore/meat-eater as Judah has the emblem of a lion, an herbivore as Issachar has the emblem of a donkey, which point to the dwelling place, is also clear. From this we may discern the call of God encouraging us to eat His flesh, that is, His solid food (cf. Hebrews 5:14), and meanwhile be guided in the spirit of wisdom and revelation like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah who ate vegetarian food (cf. Daniel 1:11-12.14-17) as we enter more deeply into the dwelling place of God, namely, His presence (cf. John 14:2).
 
Hebrews 5:14:
14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.
 
Daniel 1:11-12.14-17:
11 Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah,
12 ‘Please test your servants for ten days: give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. …
14 So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days.
15 At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food.
16 So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead.
17 To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.
 
John 14:2:
2 My Father’s house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?
 
The East Wind and God’s Intervention
 
Additionally, we may expect the Lord to speak to us with the presence of His face as the Son of Man and to intervene in the form of the ‘east wind’ because it is the first unit of the army of Israel that encamps in the east (note: in front). This may result in the economy of the ‘wicked’ being shaken (cf. Exodus 10:13-15 i.c.w. Psalm 48,4-7).
 
Exodus 10:13-15:
13 So Moses stretched out his staff over Egypt, and the Lord made an east wind blow across the land all that day and all that night. By morning the wind had brought the locusts; 14 they invaded all Egypt and settled down in every area of the country in great numbers. Never before had there been such a plague of locusts, nor will there ever be again.
15 They covered all the ground until it was black. They devoured all that was left after the hail – everything growing in the fields and the fruit on the trees. Nothing green remained on tree or plant in all the land of Egypt.
 
Psalm 48:4-7:
4 When the kings joined forces, when they advanced together, 5 they saw her and were astounded; they fled in terror.
6 Trembling seized them there, pain like that of a woman in labour.
7 You destroyed them like ships of Tarshish shattered by an east wind.
 
It is significant that we move forward with God’s intervention to see the triumph of God over our enemies, who are also His enemies. It is like what was happening at the time of the parting of the Reed Sea in the persecution of the people of Israel by the hordes of Pharaoh, whose purpose the LORD thwarted (cf. Exodus 14:21-25).
 
Exodus 14:21-25:
21 Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and all that night the Lord drove the sea back with a strong east wind and turned it into dry land. The waters were divided, 22 and the Israelites went through the sea on dry ground, with a wall of water on their right and on their left.
23 The Egyptians pursued them, and all Pharaoh’s horses and chariots and horsemen followed them into the sea.
24 During the last watch of the night the Lord looked down from the pillar of fire and cloud at the Egyptian army and threw it into confusion.
25 He jammed the wheels of their chariots so that they had difficulty driving. And the Egyptians said, ‘Let’s get away from the Israelites! The Lord is fighting for them against Egypt.’
 
We should turn our faces to God’s face, so that He may touch us with the necessary dynamics of His Holy Spirit for the future, and that we may even boldly fulfil our apostolic mission entrusted by Him (cf. John 20:21-22).
 
John 20:21-22:
21 Again Jesus said, ‘Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.’
22 And with that he breathed on them and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.
 
Amen and Amen.

PROPHESIED ON THE 3’rd OF MAY 2023 | 12’th OF IYAR | SIV 5783, NAJOTH BERLIN – SPANDAU
 
“There is the beauty and promise given to you by God, which will make you realize your new place of destination predestined by the Father, which is already filled with His presence!
 
Go and enter that new place, which results in hearing the LORD speak to you in a fresh way! This will take you to revelatory knowledge and instruction for your future ahead!
 
There is the pressure of believers, which is leading you to take a new path because of their views (cf. Genesis 16:6 i.c.w. Genesis 21:10)!
 
Do not be afraid of the ‘desert’ because the ‘desert’ is waiting to be filled with who you are (cf. Genesis 16:7)!
 
Be sure that you walk in the truth of God’s Word and the power of the spirit of prophecy in order to nourish your spirit being with it! By it you release the streams of living water in the desert refreshed with confidence (cf. Genesis 21:14)! Thereby the potentials come to the surface, which until this time lay hidden in the ‘ground’ of the desert, says the spirit of the prophet (cf. John 7:38 i.c.w. Isaiah 35:1-7)!
 
There is the value of vision and obedience that reveal the presence of God’s love (cf. Luke 11:34a i.c.w. John 14:23)!
 
That which before seemed paralyzed suddenly comes into motion, so that there is a rising and awakening to the truth, says the spirit of the prophet! There is the fragrant ‘dust cloud’ of unrestricted obedience and purity of heart that emerges from the desert, accompanied by a great momentum of the truth of God’s Word (cf. Song of Songs 3:6-8 i.c.w. Ephesians 6:14a, 17b)!
 
This fragrance and the truth of the Word of God will be a pungent stench in the camp of ‘Jezebel’ and her false prophets, so that I will leave them alone in their apparent place of safety and pass My righteous judgment on them, says the LORD (cf. 2 Corinthians 2:14-16 i.c.w. 2 Kings 9:17a.20b; Revelation 2:20-22)!”
 
Amen and Amen.
 
In His Wisdom,

A prophetic word is spoken with the intention in the will of God so that it becomes ‘flesh’, which means that it manifests itself as light in the dark chaos so that it brings forth life and hope.
 
Whenever God spoke His word, and continues to speak it today, it comes to manifestation in our time. The Word of God can also be called the invisible breath of God, which is enclosed with earthly substance, so that what God has spoken or promised becomes visible to people (cf. Genesis 1:1-5 i.c.w. John 1:1-5.14).
 
Genesis 1:1-5:
1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
3 And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light.
4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.
5 God called the light ‘day’, and the darkness he called ‘night’. And there was evening, and there was morning – the first day.
 
John 1:1-5.14:
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind.
5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. …
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
 
Carrying God’s Promise Together
 
Therefore, it is essential to know that what God has promised us as His people cannot be claimed or carried alone. This becomes clear in the statements of Moses, who said that he alone couldn’t carry the people of Israel because of their greatness but also because of the resistance against God that occurred again and again (cf. Deuteronomy 1:9 i.c.w. Exodus 18:18; Numbers 11:14).
 
Deuteronomy 1:9:
9 At that time I said to you, ‘You are too heavy a burden for me to carry alone. …’
 
Exodus 18:18:
18 You and these people who come to you will only wear yourselves out. The work is too heavy for you; you cannot handle it alone.
 
Numbers 11:14:
14 I cannot carry all these people by myself; the burden is too heavy for me.
 
Moses needed a united group of people to bring the people of Israel into God’s promise, which finally happened under the leadership of Joshua (cf. Joshua 1:1-3).
 
Joshua 1:1-3:
1 After the death of Moses the servant of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses’ assistant: 2 ‘Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the River Jordan into the land I am about to give to them – to the Israelites.
3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. …’
 
The Necessity of True or Genuine Leadership
 
It is necessary in our walk with Jesus Christ that we as saints create an environment that reaches people and changes the world. The key to bringing forth such an environment amid the body of Christ is the restoration of true leadership.
 
True leadership involves one or more anointed leaders empowered by God to a level of maturity in competent leadership and authority in a specific region. It also requires possessing a special measure of dominion over demonic principalities, which mature leaders are assigned by God.
 
This means that the person with the leadership gift has the right to exercise dominion authority in his or her God-assigned field of responsibility to establish the Kingdom of God in that assigned region.
 
A leadership gift, or a person in a leadership position, implies that the person in question sees not only to the next level, but to the next dimension. This means that the leader must have supernatural vision, seeing the dimension not primarily with the natural eye.
 
A dimension cannot be grasped in its fullness with the natural eye because of its size, but with the spiritual eye that looks from the revelatory power of faith (Note: light), just as Joshua and Caleb did when they recognized the ‘dimension’ of God’s promise with its fruits and also existing opponents and said that it is possible to take the Promised Land (cf. Numbers 13:28-30; Numbers 14:6-9).
 
Numbers 13:28-30:
28 But the people who live there are powerful, and the cities are fortified and very large. We even saw descendants of Anak there.
29 The Amalekites live in the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live near the sea and along the Jordan.’
30 Then Caleb silenced the people before Moses and said, ‘We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it.’
 
Numbers 14:6-9:
6 Joshua son of Nun and Caleb son of Jephunneh, who were among those who had explored the land, tore their clothes 7 and said to the entire Israelite assembly, ‘The land we passed through and explored is exceedingly good.
8 If the Lord is pleased with us, he will lead us into that land, a land flowing with milk and honey, and will give it to us.
9 Only do not rebel against the Lord. And do not be afraid of the people of the land, because we will devour them. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us. Do not be afraid of them.’
 
Rebekah and the God-promised Position of Jacob and Esau
 
For us to properly understand the appointment of individuals by God to leadership positions in the body of Christ, the example of Rebekah and the birth of her twin sons Jacob and Esau reveals relevant aspects.
 
Rebekah was pregnant by her husband Isaac with twin sons when the LORD informed her that the younger was to rule over the elder (cf. Genesis 25:21-23 i.c.w. Luke 22:27).

Genesis 25:21-23:
21 Isaac prayed to the Lord on behalf of his wife, because she was childless. The Lord answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant.
22 The babies jostled each other within her, and she said, ‘Why is this happening to me?’ So she went to enquire of the Lord.
23 The Lord said to her, ‘Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples from within you will be separated; one people will be stronger than the other, and the elder will serve the younger.’
 
Luke 22:27:
27 For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as one who serves.
 
Even though Esau was born first before Jacob, there was a spiritual and significant sign in the preliminary stages of the birth and in the birth process. Jacob held the heel of Esau, which was an indication of Jacob’s superior position to Esau. Jacob was the ‘hand’ and Esau was the ‘foot’.
 
If we apply this sign to the body of Christ, it shows that the hand finds its use in a higher position of the human body than the foot.
 
This means that Jacob was given the leading position. It was necessary for Jacob to receive the first born blessing through the assistance of his mother Rebekah (cf. Genesis 27), because from the beginning his father Isaac wasn’t brave enough to prefer Jacob before Esau, to position them in this way according to the paternal order. That would have prevailed peace between both brothers and thus each of them would have known where their place would have been.
 
In the end, Jacob understood this approach or God’s plan by later blessing his grandsons Ephraim and Manasseh in this way, blessing the second born – Ephraim before the firstborn – Manasseh, where later it was Joshua from the tribe of Ephraim who was allowed to lead the people of Israel into the Promised Land on God’s behalf (cf. Genesis 48 i.c.w. Numbers 13:8.16; Joshua 1:1-3).
 
True Leadership in the Right Position/Order of God and the ‘Perfection’ of the Ecclesia
 
These events signify for the body of Christ at this time that there are some servants and ministries that have gone through years of difficulty and opposition to enter into their promise. This period of battles, however, would have been avoidable in its degree of severity had leadership been in the right place and government in the right order.
 
The apostle Paul wrote of the ‘perfection’ of the Ecclesia in terms of its form, saying in 1 Corinthians 13:10: ‘But when completeness (Note: perfection) comes, what is in part disappears.’
This ‘perfection’ is not directly related to the end of times but means a functioning perfection of the Ecclesia in the end times, ruling from the dimension of the Father’s hand in full ‘manhood maturity’ on earth so that Christ can come again in power.
 
The maturity of the ecclesia meant here involves order and governmental rule, which means that the saints in the body of Christ must recognize their positions or places and serve in them in a responsible manner. When this happens, all of heaven on earth will support us.
 
God wants us to come together as saints in unity in order and under true leadership so that we can serve effectively in the Spirit of the LORD (cf. Isaiah 11:2 i.c.w. Luke 4:18-19).
 
Isaiah 11:2:
2 The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him – the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord – …
 
Luke 4:18-19:
18 ‘The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, 19 to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour.’
 
The Allocation of the Anointing and the Expectation of the Time to Come Alive
 
All of this clearly shows that it is necessary that especially people in leadership positions in the body of Christ move in the anointing of God. God’s anointing is given to those who are sensitive to the time, place and phase in which God is working.
 
Sensitivity based on our surrender to the Holy Spirit is required if we are to receive the fresh, beginning anointing for this time (cf. Luke 19:42.44b).
 
Luke 19:42.44b:
… 42 and said, ‘If you, even you, had only known on this day what would bring you peace – but now it is hidden from your eyes.
… 44b They will not leave one stone on another, because you did not recognise the time of God’s coming to you.’
 
As we get to enter anointed into God’s appointed time, moments arise that are filled with the breath of divine life. God created us to bring the life He gave us into His created moments of the temporary time (cf. Genesis 1:1), so that it becomes vital time.
 
When Adam and Eve were created by God, time received human-divine vitality (Note: ‘Adam’ means ‘man/red soil’, and ‘Eve’ means ‘life’.; cf. Genesis 1:26-28 i.c.w. Genesis 2:21-22).
 
In this way, time becomes a significant moment connected to God because He brought time into existence.
 
Every believer who carries Jesus Christ in his heart thus becomes a potential that gives time a living value, in that the people whom the believer encounters in his daily life receive blessings through him in the way the Holy Spirit reveals it to him. This means, the moment is filled with life and time comes alive.
 
Even when we are at home as believers and some kind of boredom wants to spread, we have the possibility to fill this time with life by taking in the breath of God in the form of His written Word (cf. John 1:14 i.c.w. John 6:63; 2 Corinthians 3:6).
 
John 1:14:
14 The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
 
John 6:63:
63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you – they are full of the Spirit and life.
 
2 Corinthians 3:6:
6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant – not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
 
To increase in fresh anointing, it is necessary that we as saints not only read the Word of God, but study it and ask the Holy Spirit for divine revelation.
 
For a deeper understanding of authority and its importance in our lives in both individual and community contexts, we recommend the teaching ‘Authority in Spiritual and Earthly Life’.
 
(Note: This teaching is based, among other things on revelations from the Book of ‘The Anointing Of A Thousand Times More’ – ISBN: 0-9725533-1-2 from Tudor Bismark.)
Amen and Amen.
