   Hello! I’ve read the whole Coffee Talk in about a month. There’s a question that has lingered in my mind all the time. How do you not accidentally quit the breaking process? I mean… just wander off. I want Him to continue but my greatest fear is me accidentally blocking Him. Maybe I’m just too big for me still… Smile.

   WHOAAAA! OMGsh! Everything that you just wrote about is confirmation for what the Lord has been showing about the heart for a long time. I’m excited!!!! I just wanted share something concerning having a soul submitted to the spirit that the Lord showed me:

   And with this the words of the prophets agree, just as it is written:
   16 ‘ After this I will return
   And will rebuild the tabernacle of David, which has fallen down;
   I will rebuild its ruins,
   And I will set it up;
   17 So that the rest of mankind may seek the LORD,
   Even all the Gentiles who are called by My name,
   Says the LORD who does all these things.’ (Acts 15:15-17 NKJV)

   What is interesting about the tabernacle of David is that in the ark was “in the mist” of the tabernacle for everyone to come and worship around it (1 Chronicles 16). Being that David is known as the man after “God’s own heart”, I believe that David’s tabernacle can be a type of picture of soul being submitted to the renewed spirit, thus you being on one accord with the Spirit of God. In essence, it’s like being hooked up to His heartbeat.
   I know a probably say this a lot but I believe this again is how we say “not my will but Thy will be done” in me. This is earth(our earthen vessels) aligning with heaven. And since the veil has been torn and heaven can flow through us from spirit to soul to body, we will truly be salt and light to a dying world. We will shine in dark places and add flavor to the tasteless. Life will literally flow from us to dry places. Again, I’m excited!!! Thank you JP for the insight

   Yes indeed, “a journey I am still on”

   Rento,

   You can really trip yourself out about “what if” senarios all day. Its been my experience that ultimately it comes down to actually making a choice and stepping out on faith.

   Prayer is the washing of your hands. Earnestly pray that God leads you and directs your path. When you come to a fork in the road, ask The Lord which way to go.

   When you dont know what to do (or need help) you pray for God to answer and this is truly the meaning of Psalms 55:22 “Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.”

   Interesting point there is that our righteousness is by faith: Romans Ch 4.

   This all takes maturity and even common sense because God doesn’t like to be tested. (I’m guilty of testing God on multiple occasions!)

   “FEW MENTOR OR FATHERS

   There are many who talk or teach about this, but the reason why you do not see more who live this type of life it that so few allow this level of breaking in their lives. Most quit before the breaking is complete. Thus there are few spiritual mentors or as the Apostle Paul writes “fathers, because there are just a few who have been willing to trod the path before you did.” - John Paul Jackson

   I am beginning to realise this….I am starting to see a whole new relationship between Prophecy and Theology through engaging and wrestling with this material - a man’s Anointing makes room for him [cf.Proverbs 18:16] and starts to communicate with you - I am going to sum up the current stage in my reflections by quoting from the ‘Homily on the Prologue to the Gospel of John’ by John Scottus Eriugena (this is not an uncritical endorsement of neo-Platonism - I just like this in this specific context of Prophetics and Theology):

   “The voice of the spiritual eagle [the symbol for John the Apostle and all Prophetics] resounds in the ears [hearing] of the Church. May our external [outer] senses grasp its fleeting [transient] sounds and our interior ‘mind’ [inner spirit] penetrate its enduring meaning. This is the voice of the high-flying bird of… that spiritual bird who soars above all theory [academic theology], on swiftest wings of the most profound [innermost] theology and intuitions [insights] of the clearest and most sublime contemplation, transcends all vision and flies beyond all things that are and are not. By the things that are, I mean the things that do not wholly escape perception, either angelic or human… and by the things that truly are not, I mean those that actually surpass the powers of all [rational discursive abstract] understanding [into the realm of real spiritual discernment]“. [Loosely translated].

   1 Corinthians 9:27 but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.

7. JDC August 19th, 2010 11:12 am

   Hi everyone, i also wonder about this process, similar to the first poster. How do u make decisions and know that u are going the right way. Not wondering off or anything. Im sure everyone at this point must have wanted to go on. But if so few make it, what can we do to not, not make it. John Paul, is there any way you can write about how to decide how to go forward? I feel myself regenerating sometimes but it also feels like regenerating my soul which seems contrary to the process- almost like im sacred my soul is winning- wondering if im supposed to go back into the dark. its like all the desires of the soul have lost appeal almost to the point of wondering whats the point of anything, but at the same time having a hard time working out what the spirit is wanting to do.How do we know we are making right decisions? Our decisions affect others… Jdc

   John Paul,

   The last couple of days on Facebook you’ve posted comments regarding fasting…It stirred up something inside of me that was too long to put down as a comment.

   Several years ago I was pressing into the things of GOD and HE spoke to me that to get to the next level–I would have to fast 40 days. HE told me the day to start.

   I only told a handful of people who walked in “faith” so they could intercde for me during this time…No one would have guessed that I was on this extended fast.

   A major apostle came through our region so I went to him for prayer. I told him I was on day 23 of a 40 day fast. He told me that years ago when he was on a 40 day fast that on day 23–God told him he would operate in signs and wonders–and he said he would pray that over me…

   My pastor had been out of the country for several weeks and I told him I was on day 23 of a 40 day fast and I would appreciate his prayers. He looked bewildered and like why would GOD call me to a 40 day fast, even though he didn’t speak it out loud. I didn’t think he took me seriously.

   I finished the fast–and it turned out to be the day–that a very well known prophet was coming to my church. He prophesied over me about being a pioneer and trailblazer in the spirit who opens up that which has been closed…etc.

   The next day this prophet said God was going to move in an apostolic way and shift the region. At one point he came and pulled me out of the crowd and asked me to pray. I started to pray and then the LORD spoke and told me to have everyone on stage to start rearranging the furniture on stage…even the prophet without any hesitation started moving items around.
   Somehow GOD showed up big time that morning and JESUS was in the house.

   I gained new ground with the LORD and some type of mantle came to me—but in the natural I lost whatever reputation I had at church. People thought I was crazy–maybe a loose screw–and the only liberty I have is when I pray at church back in the intercessory room. I don’t know if I am an embarrassment but I’m not given an inch.

   The prophet told me that my ministry would be outside my church, and that I would just be a servant to my church. That is true.

   We pay prices to move into deeper things of the LORD.
   We move on HIS authority. GOD knows what is inside each of us and what HE has place and called us to.

   The test is to keep on keeping on—even when in the natural you are not understood. This has been a “sore” in the past but the healing has come.

   Maybe I needed to get this out of my system and speak it out.

   Love,
   Linda growing in faith

   Hi John Paul,

   I love this….thank you again:)

   Nancy

    Hi Linda,

    Thanks for sharing your testimony. It was really encouraging. It actually reminds me of the post two weeks ago about the inner and outer court–maybe they just didn’t get it. It even more reminds me of what our Savior went through in His hometown of Nazareth. Because they knew where He came from(who His father and mother were; what they did for a living; Matthew 13:55-56) they didn’t believe that God had called Him. It says how they were astonished that God had given Him such wisdom in the scriptures(similar to you pastor’s astonishment with God calliing you to fast). Therefore, the Word said that He could do no “mighty work” there because of their unbelief. All He could do was lay hands on a few people (Mark 6:5).

    Maybe people in your church our caught up in who they think you are and are thus missing their “blessing” since they’re focused on the “vessel” God is using instead of the “Blesser”. But like Jesus, God has called you in the field to a people ready to blessed in spite of the vessel God is using. These people are not caught up in status or church as usual but these are people that are truly hungry for His Presence.

    I think it is absolutely amazing the way that God is using you and many others to bring Heaven to earth in these last days. Once again, I’m excited! Stay encouraged and know that your Savior experienced it first [And we all know what happened in His ministry after He left Nazareth for the field...]

    “The loss of the rule of Soul”

    It was the beginning of a new epoch in time – soul’s rule had come to an end!

    Will is submitted to Wisdom, and Wisdom (spirit) has convinced Will (soul) that Communion (spirit) with the God who IS Love; is far better than living in a place of abdicated authority, by its desire to control us and rule over our lives through fear. And Conscience (spirit) agrees with a hardy amen!

    Looking back through the corridors of time upon man’s 6000 years of recorded history there were only a select few seers and prophets of old who were given a glimpse into the future – the time in which we now live.

    There was one Prophet in particular, he said; “the wise would understand.” Daniel 12:10

    The sun is setting on soul’s rule.

    A new day is dawning

    Spirit is arising.

    THE LOSS OF THE RULE OF SOUL

    “” John Paul and all, many blessings!

    John 6:65 And He was saying, “For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father.” faith working through Love….

13. Peter August 22nd, 2010 5:45 pm

    Linda,
    I really appreciate your testimony. Several friends and I completed a 40-day fast this summer, and it was a spiritually awesome time. This a group of people who left a local church last year. We all went our separate ways to seek the Lord more in line with His calling and a belief that all the gifts mentioned in Scripture are for today. But at least 30 of us continue to meet weekly to worship, pray, take communion, and fellowship. Although we go to different places on Sunday, on Friday, we are of one accord! Many pastors have dropped in and find it a restful blessing.

    So I say all that to ask: why do you go to a church where you and your gift are rejected? I did that for 15 years, and realized I was not growing in the Lord in part because I put myself under leaders who denied the power of God. They would testify to the inerrancy and verbal inspiration of the Bible because that is part of the denominational creed, but in practice they would deny that God still needed to use miraculous signs or prophetic words today. So we left. In Love. But firmly. Families were divided, which is hard, but Jesus said that kind of thing would happen if we take following Him seriously. So, what keeps you there?
    Pete

14. Linda Burns August 23rd, 2010 12:29 am

    Peter,

    Reflecting back, I realize that GOD has not stopped training me–even though I have been hidden away. HE has taught me–not man–in very unique ways. I know that any gift or talent from GOD must go through a refining and maturing process so that excellence can develop and be established in my life.

    As I have laid down my life and allowed the HOLY SPIRIT to crucify my flesh and ambition–HIS life is coming forth more and more in me.

    I have a calling to go to nations—but like Jesus I can only move when my FATHER tells me HE has released me.

    If the butterfly comes out of the cocoon at the wrong time–the wings will not develop and be strong enough to fly. I desire to emerge in HIS strength and HIS sending me forth…Hallelujah!!!

    Each of us have a specialized training and a path to walk on. I encourage you to fulfill and reach all that he has placed inside you.

    Don’t allow bitterness or rebellion to have any root–Keep your joy!!!

    Blessings brother!
    Linda

    “Will is submitted to Wisdom, and Wisdom (spirit) has convinced Will (soul) that Communion (spirit) with the God who IS Love; is far better than living in a place of abdicated authority, by its desire to control us and rule over our lives through fear. And Conscience (spirit) agrees with a hardy amen!”- Heart2Hear

    This is great. Archimandrite Aimillianos of Simonopetra (Greek Orthodox)made an interesting comment on this process when he observed in a talk entitled, “Have we received the HOLY Spirit?” in his book, ‘The Way of the Spirit - Reflections on Life in God’, when he said this:

    “This [increasing] Union [with God], apparent in daily life, is most evident in the person himself, who unceasingly matures, because God unceasingly empties Himself (cf. Philipians 2:7, that is, gives Himself to, and thus acts upon the person until their ultimate encounter [the Consummation].”

    I like the treatment of the Incarnation as a process of God continually and unceasingly emptying Himself into our Humanity until we fully become His Spiritual Tabernacle - that dwelling place of restored Communion, Authority and Power.

    ……… i think i just fainted

17. JRobe August 23rd, 2010 6:18 pm

    So beautiful! I feel my spirit swelling! The journey that sent me in pursuit of deeper realities… I will wait, grope, wrestle, and run for a room full of hidden mysteries!

18. JRobe August 24th, 2010 10:57 am

    I just had to return after praying through this during the night. The tearing of the veil, equivalent to the breaking of our soul… what an INTIMATE REALITY!! One that makes me eager to permit even more of the breaking process so my spirit can pour fourth DIVINE SECRETS… I love my King!!!

19. One of Those August 24th, 2010 1:15 pm

    I don’t know; all I can think is that I’m becoming harder, angrier, more bitter, and more frustrated….if all this I’m going through even is a ‘dark night.’ There is no more ‘trust in God’ left in my bank account. I’m seriously ready to pull up tent pegs and move on. There isn’t a guarantee of anything including whether or not this is a dark night or that there will be a light at the other end of the tunnel.

    If this is all designed by God it feels like being a trapped spelunker in an unfathomably tight space in a hopelessly dark place without anyone knowing you are trapped there. Your so deep no one could ever get to you. As the claustrophobia and panic set in your only option is to wait for divine intervention which you have no guarantee of, or rip the oxygen from your mouth and try to swim out without your tanks. Neither one seems like an option. You know you will die if you remove your respirator but you could just as well die ‘waiting’ on God. It is the most unbearable frustrating mess! Arggh

    One of Those,
    This will be the second time that I’ve typed this out to you. I hit send and it disappeared…:) It must have got lost in cyberspace…

    I went to a revival earlier tonight. The evangelist shared on the basket fragments.

    JESUS said after feeding the 5000–the 4000 etc. to pick up the fragments and put them in a basket. Nothing is ever lost–or unimportant to HIM.

    We can be going through hell–waging a battle with the enemy–bruised–battered experiencing great loss–

    We look at our lives and all we see are the left overs-the fish heads–bones–half eaten bit of bread–nothing of importance to the natural eye–just useless crumbs…..

    At some point in our life JESUS will reach forth in our basket and pull out a crumb or leftover–He will bless, break and give) and after passing through HIS hands–our crumb becomes “life” and “substance”. It actually ministers to someone who is going through what we went through in the past…..

    One of Those–I know you feel like you are in outer space–or in a pit–or a deep well. Nothing makes sense. This continual engagement with the enemy and the soulish nature is wearing you down.

    JESUS saves every morsel–HE even has your tears stored in a bottle–HE sees every broken piece that you’ve experienced gathered in a basket for remembrance.

    HE is resurrection power–supernatural power. HE makes all things new. Makes stale bread fresh and turn water into wine…

    You are called to minister and touch others from your brokenness. It is not pleasant right now–but HE knows what that Leftover is going to bring forth at a later date to feed someone…

    Hang in there sister!!! As you’ve been told before–You are one of HIS and you are one of us here on Coffee Talk Blog.

    You will eventually see the light growing brighter and brighter in your dark nights of the soul and spirit…

    Love,
    Linda

    “you could just as well die ‘waiting’ on God” - One Of Those

    Jacob really thought he would…which is why he started wrestling for his Life the night before meeting Esau and CLUNG ON in Prayer until Daybreak - even though his Opponent had already demonstrated that with just a single touch, He could dislocate every bone in his body - Jacob knew he was outmatched, outclassed and out of excuses [overwhelmed] - but he suddenly broke though into the Spiritual Discipline of ‘Clinging’ [on] Prayer [Prevailing Intercession] and it was this act of submission that enabled him to be turned into Israel.

    Genesis 32:24 So Jacob was left alone, and a Man wrestled with him till daybreak

    Hosea 12:4 Yes, he wrestled with the Angel and prevailed; He wept and sought His favor, he found Him at Bethel [...the House of God or the House of Healing or the Tabernacle of His Presence or all of the above simultaneously].

22. Cookie August 25th, 2010 12:58 pm

    Hang in there everyone. That’s all I can say. I am in a position similar to Linda’s. My Pastor listens to what I have to say but has problems with my gender and the source of my information; the Holy Spirit by dream, vision and insight. I am tempted sometimes not to ever go back but the Holy Spirit said I will speak to you here. He hasn’t said anything different and so I stand. My prayers is Lord, help me accept where I am and your decisions over my life! I have had said to my Pastor, I’d rather minister under a tree like Deborah than be a source of dissent in the house of God. There is too much at stake right now. Given the state of the US and even the world, it is necessary that we learn to wait and be still; as painful as it may be. I think of where we are heading and I want to be in a position to help. I don’t want to go backwards or be powerless. I want to be and make a difference. The Holy Spirit says to me all of the time, those who serve at the altar eat at the altar. Our strenght is in the Lord! May God strengthen you in these difficult times!

    Dear Precious Loved Ones Of The Beloved Bride
    Groom King

    This past Saturday, I had an awesome time in a special prayer experience called, “Ministering Unto The King”. The group was small and intimate with no agenda but to minister unto our Beloved Bride Groom King.
    As we were all ascending into the Glory realm and His peace was flowing and the stillness came in I kept seeing people coming through the front doors of this particular church in Natick. There was Glory emanating all around. The Lord is desiring to call the whole community into this inner court worship. I saw people coming in at all different shifts, along with different musicians at different times. The Lord said that, it won’t be like Kansas. There will be a different emphasis. This inner court worship “Ministering to the King’s sole purpose will be to bring people into the inner courts/Holy of Holies worship from the outer courts and becoming Apostles of the inner court. Many ministries are still in the outer courts. This will be like an interior Exodus, the journey from the soul to the spirit where spirit is given full liberty to rule over our soulish nature without strife and in ease. This will be geniune transformation. This will begin to change the atmosphere. The Lord is saying that this will be His Holy work once we say yes as a community. I get the word 24/7 inner court worship with no agenda. It goes beyond intercession. It may start as intercession but it will eventually be all about Him. The Father has shown us a glimpse on Saturday what He wants. In this atmosphere our souls will get cleaned as our spirits become elevated and full of His light and Glory. We will be given an ease as well that will be tangible and will carry us from one day to the next touching lives and touching hearts. This is going to get bigger because now is the time says the Father. The Father has His Divine thumb print on “Ministering To The King” and ‘Apostles of the Inner Court’. If its the only ministry that comes forth in a strong and powerful way, it will accomplish much. He is looking for inner court lovers after His own heart. Thank you Jesus. The Lord is also saying we individually and corporately need to continually consecrate ourselves as inner court worshipers with no agenda but to minister unto the Lord,through ministering unto to the Lord in intimate worship and receiving communion in His Presence. Thank you John Paul for talking about “The Communion Effect” in this month’s e-letter. It is a confirmation to my spirit.

    To Cookie and Linda:

    Just being present unto the Lord and ministering to the King with no agenda is all we need to do in these circumstances. I understand where you are coming from, I also walk in these same shoes from time to time. It’s a very paradoxical situation and an uncomfortable one to be in for sure because you want to do the Lord’s will but you don’t lie the uncomfortable feeling that it produces. I am with both of you’all in this one. Anyone else :)?

    I’m thoughally enjoying your blogging back an forth! It takes me back to when Moses took his sabbatical through the desert for “fourty” days, only too tend sheep “fourty” more years while his brethern back “home” were waiting for their “Messiah”! And when he showed up fourty years later, they wondered around and around and around and you guessed it, “FOURTY YEARS”!!! So Moses gets a head start, and doesn’t begin his ministry untill age “80″, ending at onetwenty, which includes fourty years of “hearing” complaints about all the security/comfort they had back in Egypt-(world), for over four hundred years! Ready or not, here “He” come, again! No, not Dolly’s song! Although they could of been singing some form of that song back then? But seriously, we are too descern the times! Just keep your eyes on “Jesus, and leave the “REST” up to Him!!! Aloha, Esteban
    Where ever He leads, I shall follow!!!

    Dear One of Those,

    You are truly ‘One of Those’ chosen by your Heavenly Father God, Almighty Powerful God….being raised up by HIS own hand.

    You are a warrior, you are not one to ever just quit, as a matter of fact you are one who keeps fighting. You are not one to just roll over for the enemy and say “here I am, I give up”

    Being tempered is never easy, not for any of us:) But you are almost through this….you’ve come so far..Please don’t throw it all away now.

    Your Heavenly Father God loves you and your family so very much, at a time when you think HE does not hear you, HE is right there with you, especially now….with this blog and obviously all here who love and care about you, HE is saying, “I AM INVESTING A LOT OF MYSELF IN YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU, DON’T LET GO OF ME NOW, I’M NOT DONE YET”

    You are truly ‘One of Those’ chosen ones. So stay strong, see it through, you are almost there. I’m praying for you Psalm 91 for your protection, Ephesians 6:10-20 that you are covered with the armor of God, John 14:27 that you be saturated with God’s peace and John 15:11 that you have God’s joy. Pray these also over yourself and your family, make it personal and put your name and your families names within the scriptures. We’re all praying for you:)

    Blessings and God’s Healing Power,
    Nancy:)

27. Holly August 26th, 2010 10:58 am

    Dear One of Those,
    I understand completely what you are feeling. You put my thoughts into words exactly. The options don’t look too good. One thing my precious son said to me this week is that we are about to enter the fall season. With the changing of the weather to cooler and the beautiful color the trees will turn into we too, will experience a change in season. We always change with the seasons. God is making warriors out of us. He is developing a strong mental attitude. It will not be the circumstances that change necessarily but we will change. Our inner core. I know it is hard to hear to hang in there, I am feeling it too. Remember that we are eternal and what happens here on earth is not what is important. The fact that Jesus came here and died and all that this blog talks about we really should be rejoicing in our salvation. I have to trust my children to the Lord as I have no means to help them. And my son is really suffering trying to live on his own since he was 17. He is 20 now. I am helpless and have to just entrust him to the Lord. So I can relate to your state of helplessness. This blog is a life line for us that the Lord has provided to bring us through these trials. That is what John Paul has been called to do. So if nothing else be grateful for coming here today and taking a drink in the fountain. I know it feels good to have others acknowledge you as it helps me too. Focus on anything that makes you grateful and hold on to it. And remember that we are all in this together. Blessings on all of you here who have written and have strengthened me today with your words. Blessings, Holly

28. Holly August 26th, 2010 11:03 am

    One more thing I want to say today and that is about Noah. Just imagine him building an ark on dry land and the ridicule that he must have had to endure. He said that God talked to him and told him all these things were going to happen. Yeah, right. But he plugged along and built that ark and so the human race went on because of his faithfulness. It takes a lot of faith and patience to walk this walk. Think on Noah today!

    I had no idea that what I had written about would in turn cause such a perfect responce! Also, I’m still not sure about the term, “One of Those”? But, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR KIND LOVING WORDS! Its been almost two months since my family moved back to the mainland, while I try my best to work on our home here in Hawaii to get ready to rent or sell? Call it rest at a price, a price I’m willing to pay knowing the God we serve is willing and able to perform His Word!!! And yes you’re right to say it’s never easy to stand alone, but I’m never alone or I wouldn’t be here, especially after what happened last night! So please continue to pray because I’m tired of being sufficated at night and waking up to see purple dots everywhere. It seems I’m hated more than I know!!! Plus something in the Spirit was trying to drag me down the hallway untill I yield out the name of Jesus! And yes they do flee, in the name of Jesus!!! Thank You for your love from one who knows the battle all too well!!!
    To the author and finisher of our faith who was and is and is too come, praise be with you, Amen! ALOHA

    I got into a tough time, and sought the Lord, insisting That he was the same today as he has alway been, and to recieve his Holy Spirit Baptism, and He came to me in the most supernatual way, with visions and dreams and teaching me so much, after 8 months of pure Love I believe I went into the Dark night of the Soul, I have only been refreashed a couple of times. At first I had no clue what was going on but the Spirit when I asked question showed me Songs of Solomon, Job, and just about every other trial, he told me how he see’s me and now I know he is working out fruit, I came out of that and now I believe I am in the dark night of the Spirit because I see light in the Spirit.

    My question is, my gifts seem to be getting weaker, and I know a visitation will stregthen them. I ask to be stregthened in my inner man. But I miss the intense Love of the visitations, the visions, ect. I was given a Vision of warning for the Church I go to and gave it to the Pastor and he kept it to himself and Half of it has already happened, the pastor used to to think I was crasy until, he saw half of the vision come to pass, now if I could get him to share the rest of the vision with the congragation!!! I also feel the anointing growing. I have found as long as I keep telling the Lord I want to be the Man of God he see’s me as I have not left the process. I know I make it because I asked him how he see’s me and he told me.. Woo Hoo. I have been, telling him when it is hard or it hurts, praising him constantly for what I know he will accomplish in me.

    I pray for strength for all going trough this and I also pray for more worker in the field so we can help each other more, and become on in the Spirit.

    John Paul,

    Interesting I give that verse to me niece about a royal priesthood recently. This was before she left for college. Anyway, why is it you write something to totally breaks me and makes me cry. I don’t know why in some ways God has shown me similar things in a different way, becoming like Stephen in front of the Jews, he looked like an angel.

    Thanks for going more in depth of what I understood of somethings.
