Understanding the Importance of Crossing
Over Sandy Warner
RHEMA 6/05/07 OUR FAMILY IS CROSSING OVER
HEARD: Crossing over. In the next few days, all accomplished. Zeal for My house, you have done well. All present and accounted for.
PIX: I saw some salt that had been placed on my grandson's lips and he was tasting it.
[Salt is a keeping preservative.]
HEARD: I can just see him.
Pix: I saw the number 81.
Hebrew OT:81
OT:81 'abaqah (ab-aw-kaw'); feminine of OT:80:
KJV - powder.
LOFM: Song 3:6 NKJV
Who is this coming out of the wilderness like pillars of smoke,
Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all the merchant's fragrant powders?
Greek NT:81
NT:81 adelphotes (ad-el-fot'-ace); from NT:80; brotherhood (properly, the feeling of brotherliness), i.e. the (Christian) fraternity:
KJV - brethren, brotherhood.
LOFM: 1 Peter 2:17 KJV
Honour all men. Love the brotherhood . Fear God. Honour the king.
COMMENTS: Crossing over is a huge forward advancement from 40+ years of wandering in circles in the wilderness. When Israel crossed over, the flood waters were rolled back to Adam when the priests took their places and stood in the gap. In this parable, today's intercessory priests have been standing in the gap for a number of years and we have been getting free from generational sins and bondages.
Right now in a window of time, God's people are being permitted to cross safely over the river of Jordan (death) to Gilgal, where we as a people will release our stubborn ways and go through the remainder of a circumcision of heart from the world, and be consecrated to God.
Deut 10:16-17 NKJV
Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be stiff-necked no longer.
Deut 30:5-6 NKJV
Then the LORD your God will bring you to the land which your fathers possessed, and you shall possess it. He will prosper you and multiply you more than your fathers. And the LORD your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.
Now at this time when the last priest walks across from having stood in the gap, the line of demarcation is drawn for those who did not cross over, for the waters will return. Those who cross over after that, will do so with rising flood waters and go through much difficulty in order to get there. I believe they will do so in another window of time where they will pass through much tribulation and suffering in the world.
In the intercessory assignments the Lord has given me, I have prayed much about this line of demarcation, about who crosses over. As a great comfort I felt the Lord granted me the following scriptures as His promise of the importance of holding onto our loved ones as their intercessory covering and keeping. God is a God of families. He also gave me a warning in regards to this promise, which is also below.
HOLD ONTO YOUR LOVED ONES
All That Sailed With Paul On His Ship
Acts 27:22-24 NKJV
And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship. For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve, saying, 'Do not be afraid, Paul; you must be brought before Caesar; and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.'
All That Were In The Same House Under The Blood
Ex 12:22-24 NKJV
And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning. 23 For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you.
Noah's Family And All That Were In The Ark
Gen 7:13-16 NKJV
On the very same day Noah and Noah's sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark — 14 they and every beast after its kind, all cattle after their kind, every creeping thing that creeps on the earth after its kind, and every bird after its kind, every bird of every sort. 15 And they went into the ark to Noah , two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life. 16 So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him; and the LORD shut him in.
Rahab's Request That Her Family Is Spared
Josh 2:18-19 NKJV
When we come into the land, you bind this line of scarlet cord in the window through which you let us down, and unless you bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father's household to your own home. 19 So it shall be that whoever goes outside the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we will be guiltless.
Lot Is Safe Because Of Abraham's Prayers
Gen 19:29 NKJV
And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham , and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot had dwelt.
Gen 18:16-28 NKJV
Then the men rose from there and looked toward Sodom, and Abraham went with them to send them on the way. 17 And the LORD said,"Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing, 18 since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? 19 For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his household after him, that they keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice, that the LORD may bring to Abraham what He has spoken to him." 20 And the LORD said, "Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very grave, 21 I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know." 22 Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before the LORD. 23 And Abraham came near and said,"Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked? 24 Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it? 25 Far be it from You to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
26 So the LORD said,"If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes." 27 Then Abraham answered and said, "Indeed now, I who am but dust and ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord: 28 Suppose there were five less than the fifty righteous; would You destroy all of the city for lack of five?
Cities of Refuge Appointed
Num 35:6-7 NKJV
"Now among the cities which you will give to the Levites you shall appoint six cities of refuge, to which a manslayer may flee. And to these you shall add forty-two cities .
Joseph Saves His Family From the Great Famine
Gen 47:1 NKJV
Then Joseph went and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brothers, their flocks and their herds and all that they possess, have come from the land of Canaan; and indeed they are in the land of Goshen.
The Unbelieving is Set Apart When Living with the Believer
1 Cor 7:12-16 NKJV
But to the rest I, not the Lord, say: If any brother has a wife who does not believe, and she is willing to live with him, let him not divorce her. 13 And a woman who has a husband who does not believe, if he is willing to live with her, let her not divorce him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean, but now they are holy. 15 But if the unbeliever departs, let him depart; a brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases. But God has called us to peace. 16 For how do you know, O wife, whether you will save your husband? Or how do you know, O husband, whether you will save your wife?
WARNING FROM WISDOM: When I was praying over this, the Lord emphasized the following scripture to me:
Acts 27:24; 32 NKJV
"...indeed God has granted you all those who sail with you.' ... Paul said to the centurion and the soldiers, "Unless these men stay in the ship, you cannot be saved."
It is very important that in keeping your loved ones, that you do not cut off relationship with them. Remain loving, forgiving, supportive in intercessory prayer. If they have forsaken your loving covering and broken relationship with you, and you have tried to repair it without success, release them to the Lord as the father did over his prodigal son. {Luke 15}
The Lord will deal with them in the world of famine until they come to their right senses and return in humble repentance. After much intercession over the prodigals, the Lord has convinced me that famine, not coddling is the only way to draw them home again. He grants all people free will and as intercessors, we too must honor the free wills of those who depart. Always look for and expect their return, just as the father did and warmly welcome the prodigal with open arms, open heart and without condemnation, accusation and judgment. Great joy will take place in that day!
Isa 60:5 NKJV
Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. 2 For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; But the LORD will arise over you, And His glory will be seen upon you. 3 The Gentiles shall come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising. 4 "Lift up your eyes all around, and see: They all gather together, they come to you; Your sons shall come from afar, And your daughters shall be nursed at your side. 5 Then you shall see and become radiant, And your heart shall swell with joy; Because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, The wealth of the Gentiles shall come to you.
