I just returned from a trip to
Wales, England and Scotland. Three
conferences and group tour of Wales. It was wonderful, as any God adventure is.
While I was travelling every day
I kept having dreams of ladders and tables. They were painted lovely
colors. Purple, red, blue green lilac
etc.
While doing a conference in
Bedford, England with "His Fragrance Ministry," I again saw a ladder
(over Bedford). I was still wondering
what was going in the Spirit and what God was saying with the ladders and
tables.
On Friday night at the end of the
meeting I was talking to someone and out of the corner of my eye I saw a huge
angel standing to the side of the room.
I mentioned it to a few women standing nearby and one of them who was
with our tour group, Carol, went over to that place at the side. Next thing I
saw was Carol totally taken up in the spirit and she was "gone" from us. We eventually mostly carried her back to the
bus. Later she told us she had an encounter with an angel from William
Wilberforce ministry. Someone else separately had a vision of slaves in the
hold of a ship. I was still seeing the ladder with angels going up and down it
over Bedford, England.
William Wilberforce was a great
abolitionist born in 1759. For 20 years he fought for freedom from slavery in
Britain. He was also discipled by John Newton, writer of the famous hymn,
"Amazing Grace." It was in
Bedford also that John Bunyan wrote. "Pilgrim's Progress" and many
other books when he was in prison there.
Proponents of Grace
So then after that conference in
Bedford, I saw many ladders and tables being put in place. What does that
mean? Well, William Wilberforce, John
Newton and Bunyan were all proponents of grace - they all disengaged from organized
religion where people were controlled by a hierarchy. Bunyan was put in prison
twice (once for 12 years) for preaching that ordinary people could read the
Bible for themselves. Galatians 5:1, "It was for freedom that Christ set us
free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of
slavery."
There is a mighty move of being stirred
- many great callings being released. But God is sending a great spirit of
LIBERTY because we have to hear God for ourselves. It's a wake up for people
who already think they are awake. It's a new calling for many people who think
they have nothing much to offer. God
wants to break that box you have put yourself in or you have allowed others to
put you in.
It's interesting to me that
William Wilberforce hated school and did everything he could to avoid it yet he
became one of the most powerful men in history after he met the Lord in his
twenties.
I know Jesus is THE ladder in
that He is the one that connects us to God, our heavenly Father. But there are
ladders and places where people have been praying, and getting rid of the enemy
in the gates and opening up many heavenly portals. That's part of the church's
ministry - to take the enemy from the gates in the Name of Jesus.
When I was in New Zealand last
year we discovered an ancient spirit guarding the coast line near Ohope - when
the Pastor and Margaret Knight and I kicked it out, a huge angel came into NZ
to call the intercessors to pray for certain things. Just like Daniel, the
angels of God do get held up sometimes. That's why we have to live in the
Spirit realm. By the way, there is nothing hard in that, every one of us can
live in the Spirit realm. It's our inheritance in Christ. You don't have to
qualify - Jesus died and rose again and qualified you forever and He lives
always making intercession for YOU.
Table Layers
Maybe you are one of the groups
who have been praying, allowing God's ladders to be set up where the angels of
God can bring the things God has prepared for you and others.
In these places I've discovered
what I call "Table-layers."
These are people who lay a table and provide food for others to come and
eat. In different areas there are those who make available the tables of God.
They invite the various ministries to come and then they open the table for
others to come and eat. These are going to be tables and ladders to bring great
freedom to the Body of Christ. That is why angels like the one in Bedford - who
helped Wilberforce bring the freedom to the slaves are involved in this move of
liberty. We must be free from our concepts and boxes and listen to what He is
saying in this time.
I know there are many surprises
for all of us, and open doors. Do you remember the angel from New Zealand who
came to my house a few years ago and sang me the whole song from Aladdin, "A
Whole new world?" It starts off with an
invitation remember, the prince says to Jasmine, "Do you trust me?"
and she replies, "Yes" and then she takes his hand and he takes her
on a wonderful ride where she sees things from a whole new perspective.
We seem to think sometimes that
for God to bring a move to our place (house or church or meeting place) we
sometimes have to do something to "qualify." Well yes you do - you have to just believe.
He is a covenant keeper. He will do as
He says
In the Hebrides revival (see my
book "Bright and Shining Revival") the pastor on the Isle of Lewis (Hebrides
Islands) and six men from his church got together in a barn and called out to
God for a visitation. Guess what? God
heard them because He said, "When you call I will answer." When He said, "If you call on me, if you
seek me, I will heal the land."
They did what He said (seek Him) and then started to declare what He
said. They believed Him and told people, "God is coming, He is healing the
land." They didn't keep praying because they got the answer when He said
it the first time.
Praying and Believing
Then the power of God came and
whole towns were saved. The Spirit of God chased people in the bars and dance
halls they ran out, to the church or the police station. I spoke to people
myself who told me that when the presence of God came down they packed up and
left the Islands and went to live on the mainland until it was over They told
me, "If we stayed, God would get us."
They didn't qualify for a spiritual ladder- they just prayed and
believed. God sent a ladder, an open heaven and they laid a table for people to
come and dine.
Maybe you are praying and
believing - maybe you are a table layer. You don't have to qualify for that
either. You have to step out in faith as you are led by the Spirit, LIBERTY = FREEDOM to do what He tells you to do, go
where He tells you to go and say what He tells you to say. Come on, let's run
after Him. Jesus died and rose again to purchase your freedom, not your
religious mindsets.
Don't be in the hold of the ship
when the captain is inviting you to His table.
The seating is in the heavenly places, already prepared for you. Don't miss the beautiful setting that has
your name on it already. There's not another you - you're it. God didn't make a
spare one of you in case you don't work out.
This is a note from Carol
Bengele, who had the initial encounter with the angel from William Wilberforce
ministry, "I am not sure what the total significance of that encounter is
but I know it was monumental. Keys are being given to those who have been
crying out to see the religious slavery broken off of God's children. Keys to set the captives free both saved and
unsaved. The new Abolitionists are
arising who will do whatever is necessary to loose the bound and oppressed. As
for Moggerhanger (The meeting place in Bedford where the conference was held), I
believe it will become a place where freedom will be ministered at every level
and to every level of society. People will come to breathe in the atmosphere
and receive a key to influence the lives of those in their own nations. It will
be known as "The Freedom Center." Cast
off the shackles that keep you bound to anything but Christ. Freely you have
received now freely give." - Carole Bengale
God is sending "cows" (a
continual means of provision) small businesses, to help you to prosper. We all
have things to do and places to go. I just returned from a wonderful trip to
the U.K. Now I am headed for Australia and New Zealand next week. I would love
to see you - here is my itinerary.
