The Torn Veil
“Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, … So when the centurion and those with him, who were guarding Jesus, saw the earthquake and the things that had happened, they feared greatly, saying, “Truly this was the Son of God!” Matthew 27:51, 54
Standing becomes difficult, and the enormity of the chilling sound of the Veil tearing is hard to shake. The thunder of the event is still ringing in your ears, almost as if even creation itself had been torn at the same moment. The fact is - it has been.
THE FRUSTRATION OF THE EARTH
The tearing of the Veil has caused an earthquake so severe that solid rock tore in two. It almost seems as if the earth itself was preparing to receive the redemption Jesus came to bring. Just a short time later, Jesus would descend into the Earth to proclaim the good news of that redemption. The breaking of the Earth would reach Sheol -all this was part of Sheol’s response to Satan’s four thousand year grip being torn from him. Thus, in this earthquake, the earth has already begun to respond to the hope that righteousness would rule over it. The Earth’s groaning process had begun, and would last until the Sons of God are manifest. The timeless nature of the veil being torn is profound and far reaching, and a casual glance or thought of it will not capture the historical and eternal future impact this moment will spawn. A prophetic picture of the last days has been painted.
THE GRAND ALTERATION
In one moment of time God had displayed His Son, the earth had been altered, Heaven had been opened, and mockers became believers as the centurion soldier proclaimed the truth that Jesus was the Son of God. Up to this point, it seems more dark spirits proclaimed His deity than did mankind. That too was all about to change.
So you find yourself standing in a small, tented room, being impacted by an event that will not even happen for one thousand six hundred years. When this event would happen, it would transpire at the ninth hour or three o’clock in the afternoon. At this time the temple was far from empty. In fact, most of the priest’s would have been busy preparing for the Sabbath evening gathering. They too were caught by the enormity of what had just happened. They were now beholding that which was forbidden until now. You can almost hear them thinking, should they look, should they turn away; would God strike them, or is He the one who did this?
OUTSIDE OR INSIDE
It is good to make a mental note here, only those ministering in the holy place noticed anything had changed. The rest were outside the Screen that had not torn. Those ministering in the outer court had no visible clue as to what had happened. Likewise in the church today, so many are content to remain in the outer court, and never taste the deeper things of God. While the Veil between the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies was torn, the Screen between the Holy Place and the Outer Court was not touched.
It still takes an inner resolve to have an intimate relationship with God. You must come into the Sanctuary to do so. Only in this covering of this setting can you come so close to the Father that you know when His breath and the wind of His spirit has shifted. Today, most of the church remains oblivious to any move the Father makes, because they are content to remain outside, in the Outer Court.
More on the Torn Veil in the next post.
Blessings,
John Paul

Just a general question: Have any of you ever had a hard time telling someone about what the Lord revealed to you in the inner court or Holy of Holies or the shift you notice in the atmosphere only to have them reject it? What I found was, like JPJ mentioned, you can’t explain an inner court revelation to people who have an outer court mentality. Sometimes you have seen it with your eyes and heard it with your ears, but because they are in the outer court, so they can’t see what you see or hear what you hear. This can be disheartening, but I believe that the Lord needs people in the last hour who will stand up and declare His revelations even in the face of opposition from those who are supposed to be the church, but are still lingering in the outer court.
Thank you for sharing this much needed teaching today. God bless.
What you may know is over this last weekend, once more the veil was torn. Prophets all over the world are reporting this revelation. I will post on it.
OUTSIDE OR INSIDE “It is good to make a mental note here, only those ministering in the holy place noticed anything had changed.” “It still takes an inner resolve to have an intimate relationship with God. You must come into the Sanctuary to do so. Only in this covering of this setting can you come so close to the Father that you know when His breath and the wind of His spirit has shifted.” JPJ Psalm 91 and “Matters of the EARTH”, may we continue our journey in HIS Great Love!
thank you pastor Jackson….
Such encouragement. Thank you!
I have been writing a lot on my blog lately about how I want to quit churchianity. I believe God is shifting the power and the anointing The Church once enjoyed, elsewhere, to those who are willing to go deeper than the outer court, often found far away from the boundaries of institutional church, of today’s church.
Bless you
Hi Gene:
I read your prophetic commentary on Face Book. Actually you said it was an edited version. It would be good to see the original. It is such an important word for today. Earlier this week, the Lord had given a quick fleeting word when I was in Starbucks having my protein drink and metro-electro water on a very hot day, lol :), that there was a shift that just happened in the atmosphere and in peoples lives. Things look like they were going to go one way but the Lord shifted
everything to get back on track. The train of our lives was heading for a collision and He put the train right back on track as the physical atmosphere as well as the spiritual atmosphere of our lives changed just like that. The Lord also showed me that the atoms that were released into the earth’s atmosphere from the explosion of the sun was a good thing for the earth and many things in our bodies shifted in relation to the magnetic shifts of our intercellular and intracellular structure. There was a change within our DNA structures. Healings beyond our knowledge. He also showed me that this change in the earth’s magnetic field through the infusion of extra atoms is for many children and adults who have been affected by autism. The children and adults magnetic fields that have been afflicted with autism were way off and He changed the atmosphere and magnetic field of the earth to heal them. We will begin to hear more testimonies in the days ahead regarding people who were suddenly healed of autistic symptoms for no apparent reason. He has extended years of physical life to many people. With this shift many believers will be living way past 100 years of age. I hope that this blesses you John Paul, :). You were awesome on the web stream this evening from the Bridge Church in Orlando. All you said this evening was a huge confirmation and revelation of what God is doing in the young rising warriors, the people who are sitting on the 4th row. Thank you for your prayers and continued prayers.
In response to Laydownyourcrown:
Coffee Talk is a safe place to share inner court revelation. God is so awesome here in this place.
Blessings and More Blessings:)

Hi Guys and Gals,
Monday night the leaders of the revival felt that a dam broke and many waters could flow because the barriers were gone. Many people were touched and healed. It was an happening place.
If you are planning on going to Church of His Presence, check that web page or John Kilpatrick’s site. They meet in a civic center so not every night is available for their meetings…They are believing God will open somewhere else to meet that will meet the need of the hour.
Tuesday, we drove over and attended White Dove’s monthly SOS meeting. Paul Keith was out of town, but we spent three hours “caught up” in worship and intercession with Joann McFatter……..We were floating in the heavens……..:)
I guess I am selfish—I know we need revival in the land—but there is nothing like intimate worship at His throne…and basking in His Sonlight.
I hope I would have been worshiping and ministering to the Lord and not in the outer court…
I think revival is going to hit many places simultaneously —not just in one spot— and that will draw people’s attention to the bigness of God.
Now for the beach report. We spent time at Gulf Shores, AL and Destin, FL. Driving down the miracle strip, as it is called, many hotels and businesses had signs thanking God for His help.
The beaches were only about 1/3 filled, but the beauty was not marred. The crews were standing alert, but we did not see any major problems…
As for the heat, we like going to the beach at sunset and taking a stroll, so the blazing sun did not bother us.
I felt a renewing in my spirit and that some new things were released and started for me, too. Hallelujah!!!
JPJ, Will Cd’s or DVD’s be available from your meeting in Orlando earlier this evening? I didn’t sign up for the live streaming, because sometimes dial up doesn’t come in…
Enjoy your weekend amigos!!!
Love ya,
Linda
Hi Linda:
That is so awesome what God is doing on the Gulf Coast
We serve an awesome God. “Miracle Strip” I like that, lol :). I was praying in a Holy Place where many people go to offer prayer and receive communion and I heard God say so clearly and plainly, “ENJOY THE SHIFT”, and then I laughed out loud, lol, lol, lol.
Yeah God!
So folks enjoy the goodness of the Lord in the shift of His Presence
In His Love,
Shirley C.
John Paul:
My curiosity is killing me,what is a ‘whirling durvish’? I have heard you use this term at least 3 times during conferences. The 3rd time being during the Bridge Orlando Conference online and I am just trying to picture it :). I hope that I am not in that category,
lol.
Blessings,

This is important. The great difference between Prophecy and [Academic] Theology is the ability to see more and speak about it in a really arresting expository and exegetical way so that it has the Prophetic Power of Revelation Preached, rather than endlessly striving to say something new and actually saying nothing of real or enduring substance.
…what can be plainly seen, has been made known.
2 Corinthians 4:2b we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
Also what you shared about outside and inside, made me think of how since I have been saved, that I have heard people in churches say, that cant be God! I know Im quite new, but why couldnt it. The bible says Hes the same yesterday when I woke up, today when I woke up and forever when I wake up. And Im not quite sure if people know what same means in Christ. Maybe He hasnt shown us some of the things He is the same about yet, but I think He has. Maybe He has and some cant see it, because the veil of their heart hasnt been ripped into yet. And maybe some cant see what same means because even though the veil of their heart is ripped into, they still havent ventured out of the tent yet. Just a thought.

GOD is up to something……..I don’t know what is being “birthed” in the Spirit realm…
I’ve had this sense of expectancy all day and butterflies swirling around inside me. I am excited and alert!
Are any of y’all sensing this?
Linda
i consider myself fairly sensitive to the spirit. But i wonder about ‘corporate’ feelings and stuff like that. Not that i dont believe, but so many times people say its a year of this or a year of that and im normally not feeling it at all. Like a few years back it was the year of double portion for example but God seemed to be doing something else with me? Because there seemed no obvious signs of double portion. So when u say God is up to something, i dont want to miss it but also dont know what to think of it.. Do u mean He is up to something in your life or in general across the globe? Jdc
JPJ,
I can’t tell you how much this blog has mirrored my life and helped put language to my journey over the last few years. I know others would say the same. Thank you.

WHAT ISIT ALL ABOUT? CRYING OUT TO GOD, I STILL DO NOT UNDERSTAND MY I Q IS PRETTY LOW BUT THEN JOSEPTH PARKER HAS BEEN MY MENTOR I LOVE YOU BUT STILL ITS ALL A MYSTERY HOW COME I DONT SEE ANYONE WHO IS FREE/
I’m understanding the hell in my life so much better now!! : ) An earthquake experience is a HUGE transfer of authority! In surrendering to such a journey we’re choosing to represent, and experience that shift, and satan looses his grip on MORE than just us!! He has to hate the reality of that! …doing everything he can to keep people satisfied in outer court activities, and possibly convincing them that they’re in the inner court. Inner court people weaken the power of darkness and loosen his grip…sometimes just by being in the room! Compelled even more to cling to him…not wanting to miss anything the inner court has for me to experience in my fleshly body! Desiring all the more to wear out the avenue provided by His extravagance!!
so sorry, I meant “compelled all the more to cling to Him, meaning the Lord!” …it sounded a bit confusing as I re-read it! and by “wear out” I meant travel very, very often!! : )

This always comes down to one thing - the Pursuit of Holiness. After all this time I have finally decided Augustine was wrong and Pelagius was right - we do make a choice -it does involve Faith, Volition and Response to the Grace of GOd ever being torn open for us and it seems to me that the Parable of the Sower can be read as four simultaneous conditions and responses of the Human Heart or different parts of our Hearts in wrestling with the Surrendered Life…
Matthew 13:18-23
18″Listen then to what the parable of the sower means: 19When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path. 20The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy. 21But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away. 22The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful. 23But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”
Hi Y’all,
WOW!!! today’s posts were awesome!!! (Millisa–ShirleyC–Shaun–Johannes–Jane keep on sharing these wonderful thoughts with us!)
Earlier today I was reading and came upon a couple of verses that brought a smile to me. I added and took a little from it so it would fit us at Coffee Talk…
“Hear instruction and be wise, and do not disdain it.
Blessed is the man who listens to me,
watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors.
For whoever finds me finds life,
and obtains favor from the Lord.”
__Proverbs 8:33-35
We come to the gate (computer site of Coffee Talk)
and wait for the daily posts of instruction and wisdom being released…
Isn’t it amazing how God speaks to us and through us in various ways!?! We each hear Him through these different ways in a personal communication from Him.
Shaun, all of us can identify with you. I think God’s purpose is that we don’t interpret ourselves. He has made us not be isolated and islands to ourselves. We have the many functions of the body of Christ, released through each other, to bring edification and exhortation.
Jane, Don’t let the devil deceive you. Ask the Holy Spirit to bring the confirmation of your salvation to you. Stick your tongue out at the devil and look upward. We all have doubts and questions–but we know Who the answer is.
Does anyone know the meaning of “dimes”??? My intercessor’s group that I am a member of have been overtaken by dimes appearing in our lives the last few months. My pastor was going to get in touch with John Paul, and ask him about the significance of these dimes in our lives. He’s been in Kenya these past few weeks so I don’t know if he got in touch with you, John Paul, about this before he left…
Do any of you have any revelation about “dimes”?
Everyone–be blessed and continue sharing your wisdom and God’s instructions with us!!!
LOL—Lots of Love–Lots of Laughs–

Shirley, I borrowed your LOL <3
Hi John Paul. We have met in Syracuse. My son Michael met you while ministering in Syracuse. John Paul 13 years ago my husband and I left the state if Floida to Pioneer a church in our home town. The church is going well. As for me personally, the first week of moving here I became very Ill with one thing after the other and each attack was severe illness and disease. I have had to quit itinerant ministry since 2007. I have felt as if I am in a place of obscurity. There is mo more to give up and to the Lord. I believe I to my understanding that I have emptied desires, dreams, wrong thinking and much mote. I have wondered if I have experienced. The z” Dark night of the soul” and of recent “The dark night of The Spirit. I know Papa does not put sickness or disease upon us. What I do know Isherwood works in us to do of His good will and pleasure, conforming us into the image of Christ. For me these 13 years have been so very dark and I have had to fight to stay alive. I believe with Papas strength and help and am seeing the light of day. The Joy that comes in the morning. Prior to becoming sick I was traveling the states and the nations. I loved ministering to all sorts of people and to see them set free by the life in a spoken prophetic word. This is such a new season for me I can’t profess that I even know how to function in it. If you have anthony to share with me please do. Sincerely Diane Bristol. Michael’s Mother.
I would like to share an experience. Ive held it in for years..I found this website. Dont know what else to do. In 2005, our faith and courage was to be tested in a way that if I knew was coming, I would have ran fast the other way and kept running. At that time I was verrry far from our Lord. End of 2005 marked one of the darkest chapters in my life. Too lengthy to go into details. I must say, briefely, however, that it was a Spiritual battle that was taking place (at the time I did not realize) where life or death would be the outcome. I cannot go into details. After we finalllllly starting seeing “the light at the end of the tunnel”, I was a completely different person from before. To save time, I will jump right into the experience.
About 2 weeks after coming out of “the valley of the shadow of death”, myself and my wife were asleep in our home. I was dreaming that I and my wife were owners of a large court, Greek or Roman style,,,which had 2 large iron doors. Behind these doors, were 2 extremely large, ferocious Male lions. Though they were large and quite strong, they were ours and would do us no harm. They were our “protectors”. I woke up from this incredibly strong dream. At first I did not understand what I saw. Slowly, I started to see that our ceiling on our bedroom was filled with a cloud…a mist..or like a fog. Out of this fog or cloud, a light was being emitted out. This light coming from inside the cloud was brightening up our room with a beautiful glow. I have to say now, that the cloud itself was not what awed me. What kept me in complete awe, was the FEELING that I felt coming from the cloud.It is honestly impossible to describe..human words or gestures cannot describe it. It was a feeling of complete PEACE and REST…incredible peace and well-being that I had never felt in my life (I was 40 at the time). At that time my wife wakes up. She says ” Joe, what is that?” She was also seeing and feeling and seeing what I was. She then says ” Its beautiful”.
Obviously, without my saying a word, she was also experiencing what I was. After a long period of experiencing this beautiful feeling..we heard noise toward the right side of our house..right outside our bedroom window. It was the sound of metal clashing rhythmically, like the sound of large cymbals. While experincing this, my wife told me that she was having a verrry powerful dream when she woke up. She told me that she had a dream about a court..with 2 large iron doors..and inside were 2 large Male lions, which were very large and ferocious..but were ours. Not too long after..we were talking about our experience, we both “got” the same message. Its difficult to explain, but we both received a message..which was one and the same. The message was ” Rest now, I am in control.You have no need to fear or worry about anything. I will make all things new.” About a year after this, I was reading my Bible . That night I asked my Lord “Father, what was that experience that took place that night,I would like to know. Please Father..somehow tell me what that was.” Next morning, I wake up early as usual. For about the next hour, I kept hearing the words “EZEKIEL 10 EZEKIEL 10″ over and over..like an old song in your mind you just cant get rid of. After some time ,I gave in and said “OK, though Ive never read EZEKIEL, and I THINK its a book somewhere in the Bible..ok, I will read it..if it exists” The following is from EZEKIEL 10 that I read that morning :
3Now the cherubims stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.
4Then the glory of the LORD went up from the cherub, and stood over the threshold of the house; and the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the LORD’s glory.
5And the sound of the cherubims’ wings was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Almighty God when he speaketh.
After I read this,,,I remembered I had prayed for an answer the night before..as to what the cloud, brightness, and noise of that night a year ago was. The Lord is good…ALL glory to the Lord. Hallelujah.
Thank you for your time, Joe.
NOW I UNDERSTAND , WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM YOU KNOW WHO? ISA 60
