It’s one am
and the Lord woke me up with the Word “TWELVE” ringing through my head. He showed me I have 12 women coming to the REST Approach and I have 12 women participating in the Maranatha Study. Jesus had TWELVE men He called to Him, to be his disciples and learn from Him. TWELVE men who responded to His call, TWELVE men who would be sent out. And then I remembered Revelation 21 and saw the New Jerusalem as I remembered the 12. “I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband.” Revelation 21:2 And I peered in and I saw the glory of God, “and its brilliance was like that of a very precious jewel, like a jasper, clear as crystal. It had a great, high wall with TWELVE gates, and with TWELVE angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the TWELVE tribes of Israel. There were three gates on the east, three on the north, three on the south and three on the west. The wall of the city had TWELVE foundations, and on them were the names of the TWELVE apostles of the Lamb.” Revelation 21:11-14 So, now I am curious, and shocked! The Lord woke me up out of a deep sleep to seek and understand the meaning of TWELVE, and this is what I found, “Twelve can be found in 187 places in God's word. The Revelation of Jesus, written by John, alone has 22 occurrences of 12. The meaning of 12, which is considered a perfect number, is that it symbolizes God's power and authority, as well as serving as a perfect governmental foundation. It can also symbolize completeness or the nation of Israel as a whole.” And so, now I am about to continue to read the next section of Matthew 20. I know in my heart and to the depth of my soul, that Holy Spirit is about to show me more about the significance of the number TWELVE. This is what the scripture says, “Now Jesus was going up to Jerusalem. On the way, he took the Twelve aside and said to them, We are going up to Jerusalem, and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles to be mocked and flogged and crucified. On the third day he will be raised to life!” Wait, stop! Holy Spirit is showing me that Jesus is not going but coming back. And He’s bringing with Him the New Jerusalem. “Then the mother of Zebedee’s sons came to Jesus with her sons and, kneeling down, asked a favor of him. “What is it you want?” he asked. She said, “Grant that one of these two sons of mine may sit at your right and the other at your left in your kingdom.” “You don’t know what you are asking,” Jesus said to them. “Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?” “We can,” they answered. Jesus said to them, “You will indeed drink from my cup, but to sit at my right tht or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared by my Father.” When the ten heard about this, they were indignant with the two brothers. Jesus called them together and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles Lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave - just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Matthew 20:17-28 TWELVE Holy Spirit is saying to me that 12 must serve and 12 must teach. TWELVE must drink from the cup of prosperity and then spit it all out in the floor. TWELVE women will come together to support and encourage each other, as they learn to die to self and not let the cup of Jesus pass from them. The Lord is saying to me, Do not forget the Word that I gave - “I am wringing out the remnant for one drop of My blood covers a multitude of sin.” “In 2016, you heard the trumpet sing, it won’t be long before you hear it again.” “2020 represented the year of reckoning, it’s the year I declared I would be bringing My judgement down - across the globe.” “In 2021, I showed you flint. Iron sharpens Iron is what I am doing with TWELVES. I am building My Kingdom back!” “The Lord is multiplying. There will be much suffering until the Lion of Judah roars out loud!” “The angel who talked with me had a measuring rod of gold to measure the city, its gates and its walls. The city was laid out like a square, as long as it was wide. He measured the city with the rod and found it to be 12,000 stadia in length, and as wide and high as it is long. The angel measured the wall using human measurement, and it was 144 cubits thick.” Revelation 21:15-17 12 times 12 equals 144 It will all be worth it! The humble shall inherit the earth. “I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple. The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.” Revelation 21:22-27 The Lord says, “I am preparing hearts for engagement.” “Get ready, says the Lord, the battle is coming. The Day of the Lord is quickly advancing.” “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave - just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” What I’ve learned in this last hour is that TWELVE must suffer and TWELVE must serve as we cry out, Maranatha - Lord Come!
