2013, "The Year of Recapture"

Sunday, I released a word that Holy Spirit whispered in my ear: " This is the Year of Recapture."

You shall recapture  many things that have been seemingly lost this year. This is a year of abounding, abounding grace and blessings; those blessings that you did not capture that were abounding, overtaking you will be recaptured this year. You have sought the kingdom, My Supernatural Dominion and now these things in the natural shall be added to you, not only added but multiplied, multiplied grace.

Thirteen in man's eyes is superstitious, unlucky, but  in the kingdom this is a year of great blessings, provision and increase.

Why does the number 13 give people such a bad case of the heebie-jeebies?

"The number 13 has a number of very old references that tend to be associated with groups of 13 people," 

"At the Last Supper in Christian theology, there were 13 dinner guests, so that number is unlucky because Christ was betrayed. 

So it was the religious group that gave us this superstition.However, we know differently.

The number 13 promise has such a blessing on it what God has promised in his strength. 

Later on  in research I found:
Definition of 'Recapture'
Recapture is an accounting/investment term
1. A condition set by the seller of an asset that gives him/her the right to purchase back some or all of the assets within a certain period of time. 2. A situation where an individual must add back a deduction from a previous year to his or her income.3. A stipulation that allows you to buy back your shares at some future point in time, if you wish. 4.For example, when a business sells an asset and must recapture (add back) some of the depreciation.

Synonyms for recapture: get back, reacquire, recover, reclaim, re-collect, recoup, regain, repossess, retake, retrieve

Scriptural references to 13:
(Gen 17:25)  And his son Ishmael was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

"The number 13 when it comes to the Jewish culture, this number signifies a turning point from within one's life, a turning point that indicates increased responsibility and accountability. 
When a  Jewish boy comes of age at 13-years-old he has become a "bar mitzvah" and is recognized by Jewish tradition as having the same rights as a full grown man. A boy who has become a Bar Mitzvah is now morally and ethically responsible for his decisions and actions.

The Body of Christ shall come into more maturity in this year, more responsible and a greater visibility in the world system.
(1Ki 7:1)  And Solomon was thirteen years building his own house. And he finished all his house.

Again the house the Lord is building (us) is coming into completion .(Eph 2:21)  In whom all the building fitly framed together groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord:

(Measurement of the temple: Eze 40:11)  And he measured the breadth of the gate-opening, ten cubits. The length of the gate was thirteen cubits.

The woman with an issue of blood had it for 12 years but in the 13th year she walked free from issues. 13 is a time to be done with cycles that are not DONE.

In theNew Testament there were 12 disciples but when Judas betrayed...they appointed Matthias .... 

Matthias which means gift of God or to accomplish. God said forget who betrays you...celebrate the gift of God and be productive ... accomplish.

The wall of Jericho fell on the 13th time around...one time each day for 6 and 7 times on the 7th day = 13.

Abraham was 86 when the promise of Isaac was given..... 86+13= 99- 13 is the difference between a promise made and a promise manifested.

The number “13” does not mean “evil,” but rather it is a most powerful God-given promise that will change the world for ever. Some of the more  aspects of the promise are:

10+3= 13...Ten - Relates to human governments and law. Three - Signifies completion or perfection, and unity. 

The number 13 is the difference of what man can do and what God can do.
The number 13 is the number of (new) life, new cycle.
The number 13 promise always brings excitement, hope and desperation for the promise to be fulfilled.
The number 13 promise is always presented in the presence of unfavorable circumstances, though in time, the circumstances will give way to the birth of the promise.

 In researching--Always look to Genesis, the seed book:

(Gen 1:12-13)  And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And the evening and the morning were the third day.

 This is the 3rd Day: After “two days,” after 2,000 years, He has promised to “revive” us. He is quickening us, restoring us to life and health. “In” (during) the Third Day He has determined to “raise us up.” He has roused us from sleep and empowered us to stand up again. 

We are recapturing our inheritance in Him.

12 Days of Christmas & Candy Cane

12 Days of Christmas

The Twelve Days of Christmas" was written in England as one of the "catechism songs" to help young Catholics learn the tenets of their faith - a memory aid, when to be caught with anything in writing indicating adherence to the Catholic faith could not only get you imprisoned or worse. In this song, gifts are hidden meanings to the teachings of the faith. The "true love" mentioned in the song doesn't refer to an earthly suitor, it refers to God Himself. The "me" who receives the presents refers to every redeemed person. The partridge in a pear tree is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. In the song, Christ is symbolically presented as a mother partridge which feigns injury to decoy predators from her helpless nestlings.

The other symbols mean the following: 

2 Turtle Doves = The Old and New Testaments 
3 French Hens = Faith, Hope and Charity, the Theological Virtues 
4 Calling Birds = the Four Gospels and/or the Four Evangelists 
5 Golden Rings = The first Five Books of the Old Testament, the "Pentateuch", which gives the history of man's fall from grace. 
6 Geese A-laying = the six days of creation 
7 Swans A-swimming = the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit, the seven sacraments 
8 Maids A-milking = the eight beatitudes 
9 Ladies Dancing = the nine Fruits of the Holy Spirit 
10 Lords A-leaping = the ten commandments 
11 Pipers Piping = the eleven faithful apostles 


12 Drummers Drumming = the twelve points of doctrine in the Apostle's Creed

Origin of the Candy Cane
A candymaker in Indiana wanted to make a candy that would be a witness, so he made the Christmas Candy Cane. He incorporated several symbols from the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus Christ. He began with a stick of pure white, hard candy. White to symbolize the Virgin Birth and the sinless nature of Jesus, and hard to symbolize the Solid Rock, the foundation of the Church, and firmness of the promises of God. The candymaker made the candy in the form of a "J" to represent the precious name of Jesus, who came to earth as our Savior. It could also represent the staff of the "Good Shepherd" with which He reaches down into the ditches of the world to lift out the fallen lambs who, like all sheep, have gone astray. 

Thinking that the candy was somewhat plain, the candymaker stained it with red stripes. He used three small stripes to show the stripes of the scourging Jesus received by which we are healed. The large red stripe was for the blood shed by Christ on the cross so that we could have the promise of eternal life. Unfortunately, the candy became known as a Candy Cane -- a meaningless decoration seen at Christmas time. But the meaning is still there for those who "have eyes to see and ears to hear." Every time you see a Candy Cane, remember the Wonder of Jesus and His Great Love that came down at Christmas, and that His Love remains the ultimate and dominant force in the universe today.

 WHY DID JESUS HAVE TO BE BORN? 

JESUS, THE WORD MADE FLESH

Jesus was born of a woman, but Jesus had no earthly father. This is what makes the virgin birth a must. The bloodline was from His Father God. The embryo in Mary’s womb was the pure Word of God. Therefore, Jesus had pure blood, filled with life from His father God. He was born of a virgin, with the bloodline of God in His veins. In the womb, the baby does not receive blood from His mother. Jesus received no blood from Mary; therefore He was pure and did not receive the sin nature of fallen man. There was no death in Him but He yielded to the death on the cross, Jesus was born of a woman so redemption could become a reality.

The seed that the woman took when she said” Let it be done unto me according to your word,” was an incorruptible seed. This was a fulfillment of Gen. 3 where God prophesied in Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity Between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel.”

Why did Jesus have to be born? God chose to make covenant with man. Jesus came in the form of a man with a body of a man in order to have dominion and authority. Jesus Christ was a man anointed with Holy Ghost. This made it perfectly legal for Jesus to destroy the works of the devil which He accomplished.

  The seed Mary received was the Word, the incorruptible seed that took on flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus Christ is the living Word of God. His name is Emmanuel meaning, “God with us.”

Luke 2:11 “For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 

Galatians 4:4 But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons.

Is. 9:6-7 For unto us a Child is born,  (Son of God) Unto us a Son is given; (Son of Man) And the government will be upon His shoulder.(Body of Christ) And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice. 

A WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT FOR YOU FOR THIS CHRISTMAS SEASON 

The same Seed that was planted in the womb of the virgin Mary when she was overshadowed by the Holy Spirit is the very SAME Seed that was planted in you when we were born again. Just as the angel said to Mary on that day, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. So has it been with you. 

You have received the Holy One. Yes, I have come, but I want to come out of you in a greater way, says the Lord. I have sent forth the Spirit of The Son into your hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!” You have also cried out, Daddy, to Me. For it is truly Christ in you, the hope of glory. You have been born again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the word of God which lives and abides forever.

Now this in this season the Christ shall come out of you in marvelous ways, for you shall see many souls born into the kingdom this YEAR. I am strengthening relationships in every area of your life, your family, your friends, and in your brothers and sisters in Christ. I shall make your influence increase and give you favor among those who you thought not. They have been listening to you although you haven’t realized it. Now is the time to see the fruition of all your labors.

 For Jesus was the first fruit of many brethren. You are that brethren. Just as He multiplied and produced so shall you if you will be ever faithful and obedient, especially during this season. The Law of the Kingdom is reaping and sowing and I want you to think of all the things that you have sowed. This is the season that you are not going to reap just the 30, 60 or 100 fold increase, but an infinite increase.  Also, you are in the season of restoration and all things that have been plundered from you.  I am restoring, says the Lord, this season.

Remembering I am coming out of you in a greater way.   I am making the way straight for you, parting the Jordan for you, bringing you into the land of promise. Watch and see what I have to say in this coming year.  You are coming out to come in, into full provision, true sonship/ daughtership, full deliverance, total divine health and life.

I am capturing your heart and bringing you unto Myself. You shall partake of the resurrection life, the glorified position I have for you to walk in. Totally in Me you live, and move and have your being. That shall become a reality for you this season. This shall one of the best years you’ve ever experienced for the Spirit of Christ shall prevail. 

This season is not about giving or receiving, but about the Spirit of Christ in the world. The world shall turn to Me; the knowledge of the glory of the Lord shall cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. Nothing can stop the Seed, Christ Jesus and nothing can stop you if you determine this in your heart. 

The Spirit Filled Life

There is a threefold manifestation of the Holy Spirit's infilling. 

1. The Realization of Christ's Abiding Presence 

 We have Christ  (Spirit of Christ, Holy Spirit) abiding in us in all His fullness.

Our soul has to acknowledge that. As our mind is renewed, every need is supplied, every desire  is fulfilled, every hunger is satisfied, every thirst is quenched. It is to have our whole life perpetually refreshed and replete in Him. Such a realization of His abiding presence in its fullness is one of the rich rewards of a Spirit-filled life. 

Ephesians 3:16-17, 19, R.V., "That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, that ye may be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inward man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. That ye may be filled unto all the fulness of God." 

2. The Reproduction of Christ's Holy Life 

The reproduction of Christ's holy life within the believer is another speakably precious benefit of the Spirit-filled life. 

The Spirit-filled Christian is the one who is most like his Lord. 

2 Corinthians 3:18, R.V., "But we all with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord the Spirit." 

Galatians 5:22-23, R.V., "But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness, self-control: against such there is no law." 


3. The Reenactment of Christ's Supernatural Power Through Us 

The reenactment of Christ's supernatural power through us is the third outstanding mark of a Spirit-filled life. All power belongs unto God and He has delegated this power to His Son and the Son in turn transmits that power to the one whose life is united with His. When He gave that last commission to the disciples He said, "All power hath been given unto me in heaven and upon earth, go ye therefore and make disciples of all the nations." The "therefore" fully implies that, as He sent them forth to accomplish such a superhuman task, He promised to endue them with supernatural power. 

Acts 1:8, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."
