Holy of Holies and the Mystery of the Ark
“the ark of the covenant overlaid on all sides with gold, in which were the golden pot that had the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant;” Hebrews 9:4
Slowly, your eyes and whole being is drawn toward the grandeur of the Living Light. You are afraid to look, yet deep inside you understand that if God was going to kill you, He would have done it by now. No, you are not going to die. Yet, in a mysterious way, something has passed away - before you even entered - and now you’re in this presence, this atmosphere of the Holy, you know you will never be the same. Though it is almost imperceivable, your strength is returning to you and your legs are no longer shaking the golden censor of prayer that hangs from your hand. The air is so thick and its thickness should make breathing difficult, but it is not.
This sweet aroma that wafts through the air is invigorating. The Light that shines from between the two Cherubim is no longer painful, but it is still frightening. The AWE is palpable as is the invisible Love that seems to melt into every cell of your body. How can one person feel such a broad swath of emotions and understanding in the same small moment of time? It is as if you are being intravenously fed matters of the Spirit and in a sense you are.
THE ARK
The Ark rests in the Holy of Holies, the Holiest Room in the Tabernacle. It is the Room of the Spirit. God, who is Spirit, places His presence there. The Ark is not just a Gold covered box for the Mercy Seat to sit upon, it represents the physicality of God and as such that which is inside the Ark represents the aspects of God within Him, which is the Spirit of God. Inside the Ark, that you dare not touch, is the Golden Pot of Manna, the Tablets of the Law, and the miraculous rod of Aaron that budded. This Ark is now to rest in your spirit, and these three items represent three types of spiritual blessings that your spirit receives once you enter God’s presence.
Remember, it is the Breath of God that gave Adam life and made him a spiritual being, or one who contains spirit. All great blessings that proceed from God originate within our spirit. Thus the reasoning why Jesus said, “the Kingdom is within you.” God works on your inside before He works on your outside.
MANNA
Manna was the food of the Angels. God sent it six times a week and as such was sent from Heaven (EX. 16:14-15) It is given to not only sustain you, but in a greater measure it is meant to preserve you. By eating of it you would not die. As long as the children ate of it nothing failed, but when they chose quail over Manna things changed. This is what Jesus was referring to when He said if you eat of His body you would not die and never hunger. This Bread/Manna that came down from Heaven (manna) was Jesus - He is the Bread of Life. But Jesus also said that man does not live by bread alone, but by the Word of God.
THE TABLETS OF THE LAW
The Tablets of the Law is the Word of God. The Apostle John also identified Jesus as the Word of God that was from the beginning. That Word was with God and that Word was God, that Word is God. Now that you have eaten of the Manna/Word, your mind is being renew from the presence of the Word running through your system. You mind is being made ready to read, comprehend, and apply that Word to your life at levels you have never anticipated. You will come to understand that Manna allows the mind to be renewed in the spirit (Eph 4:23). When the mind is spiritually renewed you not only understand the ways of God, but your mind begins to submit to your spirit. Now your body can do what your mind, led by the spirit, directs it to do. The spirit of man is most fulfilled when the soul and body submit to spirit’s direction and purposes. Your spirit is designed to receive Spirit to spirit communication from the very Spirit of God. It is designed to rule you under the Spirit of the Living God.
AARON’S ROD
The Rod of Aaron represents the supernatural elements of God, signs, wonders, miracles, and healings. It is the Spirit of God, that gave power to the Rod of Aaron. When that same Spirit enters and dwells within you, it brings that same power. Thus it is written that the same spirit that raised Christ from the dead now dwells in you. The verse, you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit enters you is far more than a trite, wistful thought. Aaron’s rod budded and produced fruit, you will be known by your fruit. The problem is not that Aaron’s rod is not working today, it is that you have been programmed, by your culture, to believe the Rod no longer buds.
All of that is about to change.
Blessings,
John Paul

Greetings John Paul,
I am not a blog writer or text messager etc. but I must thank you for the Coffee Talk and all the words written about the three rooms. I cannot begin to tell you how much confirmation, revelation and impartation these words have given me. I’ve had numerous visions, dreams and desires over the last 29 yrs. of salvation that I thought some were just my imagination. However, God has revealed to me that I am not crazy or off. One thing I will share is a vision I had years ago where it appeared like I was standing at the bottom of a stairway or some room. It was pitch black however, there was a door, or what I thought was a door at the top that I could only see light around the edge on the right side and the bottom of the door. I don’t know how many months or years went in between the vision but it would come back. However, when it did the door was open a little more and I could see more light each time. This happened maybe 4 times. The last time the door was completely open and I was standing at the door. In front of me was the brightest light. I asked if I could go in and I heard God say yes. I thought in this room were eyes, legs, hands and anything people needed to be healed hanging around the room. However, when I stepped in, there was no floor and no ceiling, all I could see was light, light and more light. I was a little uncomfortable because I like being stable and my feet weren’t standing on anything so I guess I was floating. Then I heard God say ” you are not in control in here”. I am an artist and over the years I had planned on painting these visions. When I read these writings about the rooms, the veil was what I thought was the door; the amberesque light you described was the color I have seen for years in the sky, in dreams and visions and even at a women’s conference where the smoke was that color & very thick but I was calling it coral color for lack of a better word.
I am extremely blessed by these written words concerning the three mysterious rooms. After I tasted of the presence of God years ago I felt compelled to let God do whatever was necessary for me to enter into the Holy of Holies. I thought I was messing up too much and He wasn’t letting me in however, God spoke to me in February of this year that the intensity within me to go was Him drawing me in, I am feeling His desire for me to come in there. I’ve not had anyone to talk to or ask questions about the things I’d see or dream but the timing was now to read these precious words that brought much peace and expectation for my future destiny.
Thank you for the price you paid in order to have this type of wisdom and insight. You had to have gone throught it in order to give out what you’ve given in the depth you’ve spoken about it all.
I copied and read all the way back to Jan. 09. I’ve been checking every day for the next writing since Feb. Today 3/19/10 I looked and needed this word and God knew to have you post it for now. I am standing in full faith for what man would say is ridiculous and impossible at this time in my life. When I read these words about the three rooms & the light, I leave the planet and go somewhere else; caught up in what is being said.
May God continue to catapolt you into greater demensions of His Presence and Glory to help the body of Christ step into our destiny!

I was thinking about the ending of the Indiana Jones movie: “Raiders of the Lost Ark”. The government “crated” the ark and put it on a shelf to gather dust in a warehouse.
Because we don’t understand the mystery of the ARK, we often are guilty of crating up the power of GOD and relegating it away from us.
The HOLY SPIRIT wants to be released from the confines of the imprisoned walls surrounding the ARK that we have safely put HIM in or allowed others to (as John Paul says “programmed” us).
How do the walls come down? Is it from the outside or the inside that you disassemble these walls that keep us from allowing “CHRIST in us” to freely operate from the deepest core of our being!?!
Y’all I am looking forward to reading your new posts and thank you John Paul for releasing fresh manna to us.
Love,
Linda
I believe it is worth the wait in between coffee
talks. I like it!
Thank you John Paul. I can’t begin to describe the priceless richness of the true meaning of the Temple of God to my whole being. I reread and mediate on the visuals that you create with your words. My hunger is to know my God and Savior more deeply and intimately and pass on this great treasure to others.
God Bless You,
Larry
JPJ—Yet, in a mysterious way, something has passed away - before you even entered - and now you’re in this presence, this atmosphere of the Holy, you know you will never be the same.
“Never be the same” In worship one evening I experienced the presence of God say those very word, and in Church recently during service it was said frequently, and again I receive confirmation.
Thank God for confirmation!
Dear Linda et. al you all:

Be Blessed,

PS: I made an attempt on the previous entry, and I kept forgetting the link, oh well lol
I believe the most important thing Mr. Jackson mentioned in this is: “All of that is about to change.”
Everything leading up to that last statement was information (good info, dont get me wrong) but that last statement was pure revelation.
Political parties like the idea that they can bring change, but they have no idea about the real change that God is about to bring.
God brings revolution, not just a spin.
I agree Shaun “All of that is about to change.”
It will be jaw dropping.
Shirley and You Guys,
Thank you for releasing that site to your radio talk show, even though it may have been difficult to open up your past traumatic hurts. Isn’t it amazing HE used the avenue of dreams to guide you. Hallelujah! HIS redeemed have been commissioned to be in the ministry of reconciliation.
Ailene, continue to share with us. You will fit right in this motley group of the redeemed.
Shaun, someone needed to hear that “God brings revolution, not just a spin.” We never know what is going to touch someone.
I was thinking about that last blog. Many years ago I asked the LORD to put in the field for ministry. He actually planted me in Wal-Mart for several years and I worked with a Fran…It was marketplace ministry in more ways than one.
John Paul, I will be praying that you and Bro. R T
bring home the “gold” as you minister later this week in Vancouver. My church used to host Word, Spirit and Power conferences and Bro. R T was one of the “three wisemen” who came to minister.
“The SPIRIT of the LORD GOD is upon me because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor; HE has sent me to heal the brokenhearted. To proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound.
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our GOD: to comfort all who mourn,
To console all who mourn in Zion.
To give them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that HE may be glorified.” __Isaiah 61:1-3
GOD plants us in all sorts of places so we can touch lives for HIM…..even Coffee Talk Blog, eh , y’all !?!
Growing into an oak tree and a little sappy at times,
Linda
Wow those last words are pure. Thank you John Paul. Thank you. Thank you for growing into maturity in your prophet gift. Thank you for revealing the awe of the God who is our Father, Jesus who is our life, the Spirit of the Living God who is our power. We are called to heal the sick, cast out demons, cleanse the lepers and raise the dead.
This is how it will be done. Releasing the Spirit of God in us to others. WOW!
I had a recent experience where I blessed my friend’s mercy portion of her spirit. The words flowed from the Holy Ghost in me and when I was done. I basked in the Holy of Holies. I knew where I was. I breathed wile I sensed the thickness of the atmosphere. I felt the light all around me and within me. It was incredible!
Bless you child of the most High God whom I able to call brother,
Sonia
Hi everyone,
Thanks for all your concern and sentiments. We are bonded through this blog and I pray the Lord gives us more visual assosiations with each other. After all we are in the kingdom age that is not only spiritual, but also scientific and technologicly very advanced. JP thank you for this new blog. You help me to embrace my time of visitation even though it cost me as I had to be hospitalized for the intense revelations. I am now trying to get of the meds which have wrecked havoc in my life. I am praying for you guys, and ask you to pray that the Lord restore order to my mind. The tears are beginning to flow and this is the healing. But I want to have revelations and not get pulvarized in my mental state. Wow, the Lord is really giving us the rewards of our diligence in seeking Him. Praise his holy name! Jesus, Jesus, Jesus!!!!!!! Blessings, Holly
HEAVENLY FATHER,
We recognize this land (USA) has grown dark. The leaders have grown fat–choosing pleasure over following fully after your precepts and law.
They have built their high tower and supposedly indestructible system on sand, yet they believe in their arrogance it will stand.
They do not have any honor or respect for YOU and are not restrained from following after their own lusts and agendas of man.
They have become like Lucifer–wanting to upstage the KING of KINGS–and draw people away from YOU.
We understand YOU abhor evil and YOU are a just GOD.
You weigh everything that is said or done–evil and good. This land has been tipping low, but in the last few days, we have tipped the scale into evil even further because we chose not to follow after YOUR justice and holiness.
O FATHER GOD, before YOU release the fury of YOUR judgment upon this land—remember YOUR bride is also in this land. Remember you have sons and daughters in this land. Show mercy to us and place us in a safety net. Walk amongst us in the judgment fire YOU bring.
YOU gave a word to Jonah–”Yet, forty days and Ninevah will fall.”
Give us a time frame to get right with YOU. We know we have tried your patience over and over, but we plead for your mercy and grace.
Give us time to help the peoples of this land to believe in YOU once again. Help our hearts get right as we humble ourselves before YOU. Give us time to repent from our evil and violent ways so you will relent from the disaster YOU are planning for this land.
Release the company–the army–that YOU have in training for such a time as this. Release YOUR faithful namesake to go to the uttermost part of this nation with a word to turn the evil tide back. May we be allowed to do mighily exploits in YOUR name, before YOU curse and doom us.
Remember YOUR “nation” that resides in this nation.
I lovingly entreat YOU for the life and the welfare
of YOUR beloved people.
Love,
Linda , one of many
“If MY people who are called by MY name will humble themselves, and pray and seek MY face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. Now MY eyes will be open and MY ears attentive to prayer made in this place. For now I have chosen and sanctified this house that MY name may be there forever.”
2 Chronicles 7:14-16
“The problem is not that Aaron’s rod is not working today, it is that you have been programmed, by your culture, to believe the Rod no longer buds.
All of that is about to change.” Amen
Inside the Ark….is your interior Calvary.
“The verse, you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit enters you is far more than a trite, wistful thought. Aaron’s rod budded and produced fruit, you will be known by your fruit.” - John Paul Jackson
“A Verse, a Verse, give me a Verse”, the Preacher cried:
OK.
John 15:5 “I am the Vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in Me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from Me you can do nothing.”
MARVEL NOT AT THE DARKNESS, GROSS DARKNESS IS COMING. REMEMBER I TOLD YOU, SUCH A TIME AS THE WORLD HAS NEVER SEEN NOR EVER WILL AGAIN.
Burn, Burn, Burn, Now is the time to start spreading the good news about the Kingdom to all who will listen. Blow the horns, sound the alarm, keep blowing on this fire and fan the flames. All of you mighty Oaks of Righteousness, the King standeth at the door. Look up for your redemption draweth nigh. Encourage each other with these words. You, Beloved of the Lord sing, and dance, and shout, play your instruments and begin the procession as we march together into the fulness of the Lord’s kingdom. We are growing lighter as the world is growing darker. You are the Light of the World and the Salt of the earth. Sprinkle that salt everywhere, do not hold back. Push, Push, Push. The kingdom of God suffers violence and the violent take it by force. Oh Lord Jesus, you have shown us your Mercy. Everyday we wake up is a good day just because You made it. And we will bear your easy yoke and carry your light burden. You have made a way where there was no way, You have made a highway for our footsteps to follow. We will march with each other and we will march hand in hand and together we will spread the news that God is in our land, and they’ll know we are christians by our love, by our LOVE, yes they will know we are christians by our love. Blessings, Holly
Lord, I thank you for you for your “LOVE” going out and going forth throughout all the earth. I thank you for the purifying fires of your Holy Spirit cleansing our bodies, mind, will and emotions so that all of the dross will be burnt out of many of your people’s lives in the days to come so that what remains is fruit that will endure to the very end.
In His Love,
Shirley C.

Hello,
WE are ministers in a very dark world. The work the Lord is doing in each heart is preparation for what is coming. Be courageous and stand firm till he is ready and the appointed time is upon us. This work is not easy but let him guide you and stay little. His pure Love and Pure Light is examining each one of us. Fear not little ones, it is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom!
Hang in there Holly !!!
Sometimes GOD’S ways don’t always make sense to us. We think we’re to move in a direct line from point a to point b. HE on the other hand has us changing directions, changing paradigms, making detours, taking the scenic route, etc. We hear the ticking clock and think we won’t arrive on time to fulfill what HE has called and destined us to accomplish.
HIS word tells us that HE makes the crooked paths straight.We may think everything is topsy-turvy–but HE sees complete order as HE directs us.
Enjoy your trip Holly ! Smell the flowers–enjoy HIS colors and shout those prophetic declarations from the top of your lungs. You are coming to the place HE wants you to fulfill for HIM. HE may even take you on journeys at the twinkling of an eye.
“Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land and feed on HIS faithfulness. Delight yourself in the LORD, And HE shall give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in HIM, And HE shall bring it to pass, HE shall bring forth your righteousness as the light, And your justice as the noonday. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for HIM, Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass. Cease from anger and forsake wrath; Do not fret—it only causes harm.” Psalm 37:3-8
Rest Holly and don’t fret…don’t feel guilty for resting or being weak at times. HE is the powerful one!!!
You are right on schedule!!!
Love ya,
Linda
I like the way you use scientifc method - ‘conjecture and refutation’ - You have a very similar approach to Karl Popper in his book, ‘Conjectures and Refutations’ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Popper - it makes for some very interesting and interrogative readings of Scripture and a fascinating inter-engagement with the way you do Prophetics - illuminating in every way.
“Marvel not” Gross darkness is already present and can be seen if you know what you are looking for (or at.) Light is much more interesting to look at anyway.
Mentioning things brings attention to it so its probably better to not mention it. Even Peter walked on water until he got distracted by the darkness of the storm/waves they were in. Look at Jesus please.
Thanks,
Shaun Brehm
I would just like to learn how to walk on the water with my eyes opened

“If the SPIRIT of HIM who raised JESUS from the dead dwells in you, HE who raised CHRIST from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through HIS SPIRIT who dwells in you.”–Romans 8:11
May we gain a deeper revelation of the resurrection power of JESUS in our lives–the fellowship of HIS sufferings as we are conformed to HIS image.
Thank YOU for dying for us and raising from death’s grip!!!
Help us to gain deeper revelation of the resurrection power that is made available to us.
HAPPY EASTER Y’ALL!!!
Linda
