Blueprints and Scrolls

Written by members of NW Ekklesia Council: Sue Beckman, Mike Farley, Diane Holladay, Del Hungerford, Paulette Rahm

The history of books can be traced back to ancient civilizations using scrolls made from materials like papyrus and animal skin. The Dead Sea Scrolls were written between third century BCE and first century CE. The Bible is full of scrolls that became books. Just like there are different types of books, there are different scrolls. The word “book” in the Bible – Strongs H5612 (Hebrew sepher) and G976 (Greek biblion) is where we get the word “book”, “scroll”, and “Bible.”

The Bible’s Blueprints

Genesis 1:1-2 says that in the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. He took the intention of His design and brooded/hovered over the waters with His design. The result was that in seven days, the heavens and the earth were created. He established a blueprint that He manifested in creation. You too can discover the blueprint God has placed in you to partner with Him (2 Peter 1:3).

What is a blueprint? The home you’re living in is an example of a blueprint that was designed and built. Each room has a purpose: the kitchen has the purpose of food preparation, the bathroom for elimination and cleansing, the living room for relationships, and the bedroom for rest. The exterior of the home protects you from the elements, the doors allow entry and exit, etc. All of this is built on a solid foundation. Anything you build will need a blueprint.

Does the Bible refer to blueprints? Blueprints in the Bible are referred to in different ways, such as scrolls, books, destinies, callings, and mandates. These topics will be explored in greater detail in future BLOGs.

Discovering Our Blueprints

Our lives were designed by God before the foundation of the earth (Jeremiah 1:5, Ephesians 1:4, John 17:24). Let’s look at the temple and how it was designed (Exodus 25-40, 1Kings 5-6). There’s great detail on the structure of the temple and also to the calling of each of the twelve tribes of Israel. We are the temple of the Holy Spirit and look how it was designed (1 Corinthians 3:16-17, 1 Corinthians 6:19, Ephesians 2:21-22, 2 Corinthians 6:16). 

We invite you to explore more about your blueprint or book, which includes discovering your true identity and unique purpose in God’s master plan. This topic will be covered in greater depth in future blogs.

Kingdom Government

Kingdom Government

Mike Farley

Kingdom government is the rule of God, which we endeavor to bring to earth using biblical principles. The creation is waiting for the sons of God to be revealed, for they shall be priests and reign with Christ as kings for a thousand years. Christ has come, and opened the heavens to us so that we may participate in His government.

Kingdom government is best explained directly through scripture. All scripture is taken from the NKJV of the Bible.

The death, burial and resurrection of Jesus was for the purpose of saving the world. The bible was written to save the lost.

  •  Acts 4:12Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
  • 1 Corinthians 3:11 “For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.”
  • John 12:47 ...for I did not come to judge the world but to save the world.”

Christ has come and opened the heavens to us so that we may participate in His government.

Ephesians 2:6 “…and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.”

We are told to preach and demonstrate the authority and power of God.

Matthew 10:6-8 “But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as you go, preach,     saying, “The kingdom of heaven is at hand.’ 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.”

The gifts of the Spirit were given to demonstrate the power of God and train up believers so that they would preach the Word of God, the good news, so that people could be saved.

 Acts 1:8 But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”


All Scripture is given by inspiration of God.

 2 Tim. 3:16-17 “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”


In the parables we are instructed to not be lazy in working for the advancement of the kingdom.

 Luke 19:12-27 Therefore He said: “A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for  himself a kingdom and to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, and said to them, ‘Do business till I come.’”

His written word illuminates our path. Developing a thorough knowledge of scripture provides security as we venture into “He will teach you all things”. As we learn extra biblical revelations they must not contradict scripture.

Psalm 119:104-105 “Through Your precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way. 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.”

Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; 6 In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”

John 14:26 But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.”

We will need to develop a strong personal character lest we ourselves fall to temptation and pride.

  • 2 Tim. 2:15 “Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
  • Matthew 5:37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is more than these is from the evil one.”
  • 1 Corinthians 10:12-13 Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. 13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”


To do this we must work on your own Inner healing and deliverance

  •  Matthew 7:3-5 And why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but do not consider the  plank in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me remove the speck from your eye’; and look, a plank is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye. So that, after removing the plank in your own eye, you can see clearly to remove the spec in your neighbors eye.”
  •  Ephesians 5:18 And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the       Spirit.” 


We see Kingdom Government as the presence of Christ and His council is made up of His sons.

  • Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them.”
  • 1 Kings 22:19-22 Then Micaiah said, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by, on His right hand and on His left. 20 And the Lord said, ‘Who will persuade Ahab to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead?’  So one spoke in this manner, and another spoke in that manner. 21 Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord, and said, ‘I will persuade him.’ 22 The Lord said to him, ‘In what way?’ So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said, ‘You shall persuade him, and also prevail. Go out and do so.’”


Jesus is the King of kings and the Lord of lords, and we are to rule and reign with Christ.

  • 1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light…” 
  • Ephesians 3:6 “that the Gentiles should be fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of His        promise in Christ through the gospel…”

In order to do that we must learn wisdom and mature as men and women of God. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of His throne. As a benevolent King it should be no surprise that He has councils made up of His sons. In the Old Testament these were typically made up of angels. Now that Christ has come and opened the heavens to us we may participate in His government.    

Ephesians 2:6-9 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.”

All creation waits for the maturation of the sons of God so that we may reign with Christ.

  • Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the             sons of God.”  
  • Ephesians 3:10 to the intent that now the manifold wisdom of God might be made known by        the church to the principalities and powers in the heavenly places…”


Christ has come and opened the heavens to us we may participate in His government

  • James 1:5 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.”
  • 2 Timothy 2:12 If we endure, we shall also reign with Him. If we deny Him, He also will deny us.”
  • Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with    Him a thousand years.”
  • 1 Corinthians 6:1-4 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints? 2 Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life? 4 If then you have judgments concerning things pertaining to this life, do you appoint those who are least esteemed by the church to judge?”

Matthew 6:9-13 In this manner, therefore, pray:

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Creativity and Identity

Creativity and Identity

Sue Beckman

Where does our creativity come from? Did I inherit this creative nature of mine? For myself, I wondered most of my life. You see, I was adopted and knew nothing of my birth parents. My dad was the creative person in the home where I grew up. He played trumpet and liked to sing. My mom enjoyed listening to music and watching movies. She could appreciate the arts.

My adoptive family WAS my family. I knew nothing else. I was accepted, loved, and cherished as a person. My three sisters were also adopted, and I had two foster brothers. We all were nurtured and loved in the same way.

As an adult in my 60s, I wanted to know where I came from, so I took a DNA test. I found out I was Swedish primarily, with some Irish, Scottish, English, and French in me. This was all well and good. But where did I get my creative side? I found out it was from my birth father's side, as he was a singer, as am I. My half-sister on my paternal side was in theater, and so was I. So, I found out it was from my paternal side.

As believers in Christ, our creativity is derived from our Father in Heaven. He created the heavens and the earth! In Genesis 1:1-3 it says, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth, Now the earth was formless and empty, (void) darkness was over the surface of the deep, and Spirit of God was hovering (brooding) over the waters. And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light."

Now, that's creativity! God, being who he is, had a thought. 'Oh, I want to create something.' So, within this void, this nothingness, he had an idea and brooded over it like a hen broods when sitting on her eggs, waiting for them to hatch. If you continue reading Chapter One of Genesis, you will see the rest of creation become real.

We have the same DNA that continuously wants to create – something. The saying, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," is true. It is in all human beings whether we acknowledge it or not.

Now, that's creativity! God, being who he is, had a thought. 'Oh, I want to create something.' So, within this void, this nothingness, he had an idea and brooded over it like a hen broods when sitting on her eggs, waiting for them to hatch. If you continue reading Chapter One of Genesis, you will see the rest of creation become real.

We have the same DNA that continuously wants to create – something. The saying, "The apple doesn't fall far from the tree," is true. It is in all human beings whether we acknowledge it or not.

Our identity comes from our parents and the world. People may say, "Oh, isn't she cute? Oh, she can sing like a bird. Oh, she can't dance or paint. Oh, she doesn't have the math gene." However, as believers, our true identity – who we are in God's mind- is quite different from what the world says we are.

I like what the Apostle Paul says about our identity in Christ Jesus in Ephesians.

"We have become his poetry, a created people that will fulfill the destiny He has given each of us, for we are joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. Even before we were born, God planned in advance our destiny and the good works we would do to fulfill it." Ephesians 2:10 (The Passion Translation)

There are so many scriptures that speak of our identity. "Our completeness is now found in him.” "We are ambassadors of the Anointed One who carry the message of Christ to the world…" “But you are God’s chosen treasure-priests who are kings, a spiritual “nation” set apart as God’s devoted ones.”

Romans 8:17 says, “And since we are his true children, we qualify to share all his treasures, for indeed, we are heirs of God himself. And since we are joined to Christ, we also inherit all that he is and all that he has. We will experience being co-glorified with him provided that we accept his sufferings as their own.”  Marvelous! We are “true children” of God. We have an inheritance that is nothing like what we inherit on earth. It’s better.

So, look at yourself. Our identity comes from our Heavenly Father, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. We have his DNA in us. With that DNA in us, we also co-create with him daily.

Think about it. When you do a craft with kids or just for yourself, you are co-creating with the Creator of us all. When you sing a little ditty that you made up because it just came to you, you are co-creating. When you cook, garden, work on a car, or build something, you co-create with Father God.

You can also co-create and make something new while sitting with Father God and dreaming with him. One of the most marvelous things one can do is brood over a dream.

I brooded for five months with Father God about a choir. I missed singing in a choir. Father asked me to dream with him. He also encouraged me to dream BIG. So, I sat with that. I had to get over some insecurities I had while spending the time dreaming. In the end, I started a choir at the church we are currently attending in our small town. They hadn’t had a choir in about 10 years. When we performed our first piece during the service, the congregation loved it. They were quite encouraging to the choir members and me. The choir came from dreaming, brooding, and knowing that I am a child of the Most High God who created everything.

Remember that you are “God’s chosen treasure,” and he loves each of you. He wants the best for you, but you must also give your best to him. As we do, “we will experience being co-glorified with him provided that we accept his sufferings” as you own.

As you reflect on your identity, take time and have a good conversation with God. Begin dreaming – imagining. What dreams do you have? Write those dreams down. Talk with him about those dreams. Take time to listen to his response. Can you begin to see them come to fruition? Allow yourself to brood over these dreams. It may take time; it may come to pass quickly. However, nothing will happen if you don’t dream. Make the decision to take a step into that dream to make it a reality.

Kingdom Stewardship

Kingdom Stewardship

Paulette Rahm

Welcome to Kingdom Stewardship. You will be stepping into the Kingdom age where you are transformed in relationship with God and man, discover your true identity, explore the supernatural, and bring heaven to earth while learning about the natural and spiritual worlds. It is about being a SON to co-labor, rule, reign, co-create and beyond. It is about discovering the unseen realms and becoming one with God and creation. Once you enter this journey you will never be the same. Fasten your seat belts; there may be some turbulence and in that turbulence you’ll want more.

It all started with Matthew 6:33

“But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.” Matthew 6:33 (Amplified Bible)

In Matthew 6 Jesus teaches about giving and how to give, praying and how to pray (the Lord’s Prayer), and the value of forgiveness. He continues with fasting, the true treasure and wealth (mammon), and the cure for anxiety. He then adds a BUT. When you see a BUT it is important to pay attention. Behind the BUT is an instruction that every believer should follow. “BUT seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all these things shall be added to you.”

When I first came across this verse in Matthew I had tons of questions. Question 1) Seek, what does that mean and look like? I followed the instruction and searched it out and discovered John 1:1- 5 “In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself. 2 He was [continually existing] in the beginning [co-eternally] with God. 3 All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him not even one thing was made that has come into being. 4 In Him was life [and the power to bestow life], and the life was the Light of men. 5 The Light shines on in the darkness, and the darkness did not understand it or overpower it or appropriate it or absorb it [and is unreceptive to it.” (Amplified Bible)

As I set myself to know “all these things will be added to you"( the promises) HOW? by seeking the Kingdom first. I discovered 2 Corinthians 1:20, “For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us. 21 Now He who establishes us with you in Christ and has anointed us is God, 22 who also has sealed us and given us the Spirit in our hearts as a guarantee.” (NKJV)

Question #1

WHO is the Kingdom of God? WOW Discovery!!!!! The Kingdom is the Word and the Word is God and Christ. John 1:1 says, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. 4 In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. 5 And the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.” (NKJV) This truth is an adventure in itself and I would highly recommend the benefits of seeking it out. (Note, I use the word Christ and not Jesus, why? Because Jesus is God-man in the flesh and Christ is Spirit.)

Question #2

If the Word is God/Christ and Christ is the Kingdom, where is the Kingdom?   Luke 17:20 says “Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, ‘The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, “See here!” or “See there!” For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.” (NKJV) Okay everyone, brace yourself. The Pharisees were asking the same question we are asking and Jesus replied, the Kingdom of God is within you.

WHAT!! What does that mean? Jesus just stated He is the Kingdom which means He is from God, He is the Word and He is the Son of God meaning He is God in the flesh and when we believe, we too are part of the Godhead. John 14:19 says, “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.” (NKJV) Yep! It blew their minds and mine as well. The word Oneness came alive in me.

Question #3

If the Kingdom is in me then what are the things that are added to you? I found this promise to be easy and hard to understand. Yet this truth must be grabbed and activated. Giving, praying, forgiveness, fasting, what are true treasures, wealth, and living without anxiety come from the Kingdom or from being in Christ Jesus. SO, what is going to be added?

This is where exploration comes in. This is where one must step through the DOOR of Salvation, (John 10:9) I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture.(NKJV) Cross the threshold and enter the KINGDOM. This is where training and stewardship of the KINGDOM begins. In the process of this journey, we will discover our real identity as Sons of God.

Wholeness and Health

Wholeness and Health

Diane Holladay

As those who love God and are called according to His purpose, we desire His wholeness for us and the health that comes from living His word in our spirit, soul, and body. Our foundation is His Word. When we miss the fullness of His word living through us, we can experience the need for healing. Most relate the need for healing to issues in the physical body that can be addressed by prayer and medical physicians. In this article, I will briefly outline the components of health and wholeness that are important in our journey with Him in His creation, covering:

  • What is wholeness?
  • Consequences of straying from his Word
  • Our journey back to health
Along the way you will discover a perspective I received from God about a common situation in our healing ministries.
What is Wholeness?

What does wholeness mean to you?

Wholeness starts with the God of all.

John 1:1-3: In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him; and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

Genesis 1:1-3: In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, ‘Let there be light: and there was light.’

Romans 11:36: For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things.

And we were created in His image:

Genesis 1:26: Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. …So God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created Him; male and female He created them.

So, all was created through Him and in Him (for there is nothing else). He is the father of our birthright:

Ephesians 4:6: One God and Father of all, who is over all and through all, and in all.

Just as God has free will, He has given us free will also, along with his guidance and a clear summary:

Matthew 22:37-40: And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all you mind. This is the great and first commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
Consequences of Straying from His Word

We know our history: Our free choices have led to all falling short of the glory of God, and ever worse, separation from God. Yet God.

Jeremiah 32:27: I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?

And those of us who believe in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior have been rescued from that separation by His intense love in spirit, soul, and body. Our spirits are saved, but our soul must work out our salvation in fear and trembling (Philippians 2:12). Have you ever wondered why we must work out our salvation when our spirit is saved?

Romans 12:2: Do not conform to the pattern of this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

To summarize many more scriptures and to include what science has learned so far about God’s design, our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions directly impact our body. And when our body starts to manifest symptoms of dis-ease, it can impact our thoughts and emotions. At that point we can start spinning out of control. 

Our thoughts and emotions are part of our soul, and our soul is our connection between our spirit and the physical world we live in. So, our spirit is aligned with God, but we need to exercise our free will to bring our soul and body into the alignment of abundant life that God intended us to live. And that process is a training camp in how to be governors, lords, and kings.

Revelation 19:16: And on His robe and on His thigh a name was written, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

2 Timothy 2:12: If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him: if we deny Him, He also will deny us.

Revelation 5:9-10: And they sung a new song, saying, You are worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for You were slain and have redeemed us to God by Your blood out of every kindred and tongue, and people, and nation; and have made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on earth.

In my journey back to alignment, I have found we often pray for God to fix our problems, and we don’t take responsibility for our free choice in our soul and body. One day we can start over with the new heaven and new earth, but our current state requires our training so we know how to govern a new heaven and new earth according to God’s design, including our free will. Using a disease parallel, if we are given an organ transplant, what changes have we made with our whole being that will give abundant life to this new organ rather than the disfunction that led to our current organ needing to be replaced? Learning to govern our free will involves being intentional about aligning our thoughts, emotions, and physical lives so they bring the abundant life God intended. That is a lesson in governing, starting with ourselves.

Hopefully you have come to believe that many people have visions from God, for it is abundantly clear in the Bible. Of course, we need to test them to ensure they line up with His Word, or the spirit of His Word (if all Jesus spoke was written down, there would be no room to contain it). Sometimes God can make his message very vivid to us, as He did years ago when a group of us sought the desire on His heart at that time. What we saw in the spirit was a vision of a woman in a hospital bed ministering to an unsaved visitor. This visitor was a man sitting in a chair and leaning on the side of her sickbed. He had chains on his wrists and was getting prayer from the woman in the sick bed so that he could be released from his chains and be saved. The knowing that we received from the Lord was that He does not want His people ministering from sick beds. He wants them whole, in spirit, soul, and body. It became clear that He does not want the sick healing the sick. He wants us to be healthy in spirit, soul, and body, living the way of life He designed for us, and then we can be effective ministers in the harvest fields with Him.
Our Journey Back to Health

Let’s go back to the beginning. We are to love the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, and mind. And we know our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions impact our physical body.

Proverbs 4:20-22: My child, pay attention to my words; include your ear to my sayings. Do not let them out of your sight; keep them within your heart. For they are life to those who find them and health to all you’re their flesh.

Another beginning point: Love your neighbor as you love yourself. That means that we need to love ourselves so much that we are secure in our identity and can appreciate Christ’s many-membered body. It’s a great parallel for us. 

We have many things in common as human beings, but we were each designed uniquely with unique callings. When someone has a different perspective from ours, we can respond with negative thoughts, beliefs, and emotions, or we can reframe them from God’s perspective of love and calling. We are all interconnected. There are many scriptures and scientific facts that reveal our interconnectedness. But the news and abundant cultures have a way of bringing division instead of an honoring perspective. Romans 16:17 warns us to avoid those who cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which we have learned. Since He is love, we should exude love too. And it starts with loving ourselves, so we are secure enough to truly love others.

So how does that compare to our common approach to health issues? Our culture has been to consult a medical doctor, follow their protocol, and ask God to heal us (through prayer). We know that Christ already provided for our healing, and we know we are called to pray.

Isaiah 53:5: He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed.

As there is so much to say on this topic, let me cover a few highlights. Science discovers new revelations over time, confirming God’s design and His Word. The latest discoveries in neuroplasticity and quantum physics continue with that alignment. 

What we observe through our belief systems, perspectives, intentions, senses, and cultural norms through our body, soul, and spirit affect what is manifested. We can change. Now is a critical time for us to make changes that align with God’s design, starting with ourselves so we are healthy and have learned self-governing, able to co-labor with Him for broader healing in His creation. Beyond ourselves, we partner with Him to mentor others, grow corporately, and govern for the restoration and well-being of His creation.

We have lightly covered several topics related to wholeness and health, and these just scratch the surface related to what is available for you. We all have opportunities. If you would like more information, you can contact one of our board members, including myself, to join in our collaborative journey as His many-membered body.

Sound and Frequency

Sound and Frequency 

by Del Hungerford

“In the beginning, God hovered [vibrated and moved] over the earth.” The entire universe was created with sound and frequency. (Genesis 1:1-2) As co-creators in Christ, we step into God’s sounds that resonate from the beginning of time answering creation’s groaning. (Romans 8:19-23). How do we respond to creation’s groaning? In John 14, Jesus tells his disciples that He’s the Way, the Truth, and the Life. He then says that He’s in the Father and we are in Him. I call this the “in Him reality.” Since we’re “in Him,” we are now responsible for carrying out a mandate to fulfill Romans 8:21 where “creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.” (NIV) This is a restoration process in which we get to participate in the kingdom business, “God and Sons.”

Throughout Genesis 1, God creates the heavens and the earth. How did he do it? First, He framed the existence of the universe through intention by securing a three-cord strand that’s not easily broken. (Ecclesiastes 4:12) His thought to create, followed by the intention of setting creation, and finally the action of hovering and speaking was God’s three-stranded cord. “Cord” comes from the Hebrew word “chut” (pronounced Khoot), that refers to weaving, threads, a connection or something that binds. To a Hebrew, cords “symbolized connection and continuity, both physically and metaphorically.” (Strong’s Lexicon, 2339)

According to quantum physics, the “observer effect” is what changes a particle into a wave. God “observed” the heavens and the earth and continues to do so.  This is the “continuity” mentioned in the Strong’s definition of “cord.” John 1:1-5 provides further details, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (NIV) I dare say that because of the “observer effect,” if God ever chose to no longer observe and tend to the universe, it would collapse and cease to exist. Even in this scripture, we know Jesus was with God in the beginning and that the light within Him continues to shine. In that, it all began with a frequency – the frequency of a thought, followed by an intention (framed blueprint), and then the creation. Genesis 1 and John 1 are the three-stranded cord “recipe” that allows creation to exist.

For those who don’t know me, I’m a retired classical musician who performed in professional ensembles and taught in public schools and universities. As a Son of God, I began to see some interesting connections between creation and music theory. Where there’s a pattern, follow the path and see where it leads. I found a video from the World Science Festival in 2014 where cosmologist Mark Whittle explains the Big Bang, which isn’t really a big bang. It’s more like an expansion that continues to resonate in the cosmos today (a measurable frequency in Hz). In the video, Whittle plays the note, many octaves higher than the original, on a flute. The note is an F# near the A=440 concert pitch (for enquiring minds who want to know). At first, this only fascinated me since I had nothing to connect it with. A few years later, I discovered there are musical frequencies associated with the Hebrew letters. I explain this in my “Frequencies of Creation” series on the Healing Frequencies Music website.

Everything in creation follows patterns. We see it in math, science, art, color, sound, the flow of water, etc. Once I found that the gematria (numbering system) within the Hebrew letters lined up perfectly with the musical harmonic series, I accidentally (or did I?) ran across the World Science Festival video again. Whittle says the first harmonics that came out of the initial F# were the interval of a minor 3rd followed by the Major 3rd. It didn’t follow the traditional musical harmonic series pattern. To be fair, every sound has its own “voice print” where it utilizes various parts of the harmonic series.

The musical frequencies of the Hebrew letters are more about musical “keys,” not specific notes. The name of God (tetragrammaton) includes the letters Yod, Heh, Vav, Heh (YHVH for future reference). When taking the musical keys of those letters (E, E, G, E), they create the musical interval (distance between two notes) of a minor 3rd between the E-G. Out of the sound of creation, the voice of Yahweh was heard. Next, Yeshua sits in the middle of that name as the “Shin.” We now have YHSVH (E, E, Eb, G, E). Eb to G is a Major 3rd and G back down to E is a minor 3rd. Therefore, the voice of God came out of the Big Bang that morphed into the voice of Yeshua. Because the original sound of F# with its two harmonics (A and A#) continue to resonate throughout the cosmos, we are continually wrapped in the voices of Yahweh and Yeshua.

The “voice print” of the Divine Creator is still evident in the universe today. As Sons of God, we step into our call (mandate, blueprint, etc.) to bring creation out of bondage and decay through a restorative process by partnering with God’s sound and frequency through a variety of methods (including worship) you’ll see throughout this site. When placing our individual puzzle piece into the puzzle, we activate the necessary tools to fulfill what we’ve been called to do as Sons of God.


Worship

What is worship? We think it’s going to church on a Sunday morning where a team of musicians lead the congregation in a set of songs that prepares the heart for the upcoming sermon. Worship is a “state” of the heart. It doesn’t come from walking into a Sunday service expecting the worship team to “lead you in.” Why is that? To fully understand worship, we must first understand that we are to live a “lifestyle of worship.” We become worship through our actions of thankfulness, adoration, gratitude, etc. Music is only a small part of praise and worship.

 When we learn to live from an attitude of worship, that changes things! It was a long time before I truly understood worship even though I was on various worship teams for nearly 30 years. At first, it was all about joining a group of people and working in unity to bring another group of people into a place where they could step into the presence of God. Honestly, that's not a heavenly model. But that's the legacy of worship we've worked with for years.

I know of times when a worship team didn't care what people in the congregation did and simply went about what they felt the Lord was leading them to do. Those worship services were the best, even though some of the musicians weren't so good. Then, in other worship services, the musicians were excellent, but the worship fell flat. It was more of a performance than worship. Over the last several years, the move to entertain people to keep them in the pews has far outweighed the need for true worship.

When we draw, paint, write, sing, play an instrument, dance, move, or create something, we can function with an attitude of worship. We do that by using a cliche phrase... "as unto the Lord." See yourself in that place in the Throne Room (or other places you're led to go) where you're creating from a heavenly position and responding by what you're doing there, not here on earth. You'll be amazed at how it creates something new within you.

We are told throughout scripture to “sing a new song unto the Lord.” (Psalm 96:1, Psalm 98:1, Isaiah 42:10) This is done both corporately and individually. It’s about heartfelt worship and praise with enthusiasm and a fresh perspective. Spontaneous worship (the new song) can reflect a new understanding of God's character, a deeper appreciation for His blessings, or a heightened awareness of His power and glory.

 In NW Ekklesia, we first go before the Lord as described in Revelation 4:1. God is as close as the air we breathe (Genesis 2:7) so His presence is around us all the time. We don’t need to bring His presence into a room because it’s already there. As I describe in my  class Kingdom Worship Basics, we go to the Throne of God and begin corporate worship from there. Our musicians “tune in” as we begin to engage with the sounds and frequencies of the Throne Room. What occurs next may translate to dance, artwork, music, singing, movement, or something else creative. If we have a sense of direction before we begin, we may start with an activity (usually a song) everyone knows but eventually we morph into spontaneous expression. Our goal is to foster an attitude of worship in whatever we do.

Conclusion

“Praise and worship” are attitudes of the heart. Praise in Hebrew is ידה yadah {yaw-daw'} – give thanks, make confession, thanksgiving, cast, cast out, shoot, to throw, to shoot, to cast, cast down, throw down, to give thanks, laud, praise, to confess, confess (the name of God), to confess (sin).

Worship is the Hebrew word שחה shachah {shaw-khaw'} – bow, bow down, obeisance, reverence, fall down, stoop, crouch, to bow down, prostrate oneself before superior in homage or before God in worship or before false gods or before angels. False gods are those things in our lives that take away from our relationship with God (jobs, stress, family drama, careers, etc.).  

Frequency is sound and sound is frequency. We measure sound through Hz and color through nanometers while other frequencies are measured in MHz, GHz, etc. Thoughts, intentions, and actions also create frequencies which affect the attitude of the heart. Worship is frequency/sound that comes from the attitude of the heart. An “attitude of gratitude” is a necessary ingredient in pure worship. Therefore, you will see worship discussed in other areas and topics throughout this website because worship is a lifestyle that incorporates our spirit, soul, and body.

2023 – The year of Grace upon Grace

A couple of weeks before the end of 2022 I started pondering the significance of 2023. I realized that there were five, fives in 2023. four times five is twenty, and two plus three is five. The number five symbolizes grace.  It’s grace, upon grace, upon grace, upon grace, upon grace!

That’s amazing considering the facts about the coming events and circumstances for the new year look pretty dismal. One of my prophetic/mystic friends just told me that he is afraid for this year. Let’s look at some of the information we currently have.

  • Forbes and Business Insider have reported that the fertilizer shortage will continue. That means another decreased harvest and continued increase in food costs.
  • The European Parliament has brought lawsuits against Pfizer. Their quote is “Pfizer lied and people died.” There’s increasing evidence of the lack of due diligence on the part of the vaccine manufacturers. Continued deaths and illnesses will continue to be contributed to rapidly developed and unresearched injections.
  • The CDC states that we are in a period of increased death rates. The highest since the 1960s. They haven’t pinpointed the cause as yet and expect it to continue for now.
  • Increasing drought conditions around the globe are expected because of chemtrails. Watch The Dimming. It is documented fact that governments are involved in geoengineering.
  • Mass shootings are increasing. As of November 25, there were 611 mass shootings in the US. That’s about two a day. Again, the trend is expected to increase in 2023.
  • National electrical infrastructures are failing. Private wiring poses one of the biggest problems. Nations can make plans to update power lines. But it is another thing to get houses and business buildings to rewire. Per CNN, NBC, and Reuters more brownouts and blackouts are expected.

It all sounds very dismal.  However, the Lord says 2023 is to be grace, upon grace, upon grace, upon grace, upon grace. How can that be? Let’s take a look at grace.

Charis in Strong’s Concordance is (G5485). I am just going to use two definition points out of the many. His grace is that which is joy, pleasure, delight, sweetness, charm, loving-kindness, goodwill, and favor. Really?! During a year that is forecast for recession? Hmm…

Let me continue with another definitive point. Grace is benefit and bounty. We all know that bounty can be defined as a price on an outlaw’s head. However, I don’t think that’s what applies in this case. God’s bounty is:

  • Liberal generosity
  • A high-yield harvest
  • A reward
  • An extra allowance

Now to add another blessing, grace resides in God’s glory. First, glory is God’s presence. But let’s look at the definitions again. There is more than one word in scripture for glory. We are going to use Doxa (G1391).

  • Splendor and brightness
  • Magnificence, excellence, preeminence, dignity
  • Grace
  • Majesty

He is all these things. He is magnificence. He is excellence. He is majesty. He is grace! It’s part of Him. It’s in His presence. It’s in his glory!

Here’s the bad news. It is not going to be dumped on us because we are believers. We have to take a bit of responsibility and make some effort to live in his grace. How? Get in his presence.

Matthew 6:33 Seek first the kingdom of God. That’s the seat of his presence in your heart.

Psalm 91 The whole chapter is good. But, let’s just look at a few verses.

Verse 1. He who dwells in the secret play of the most high shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

  • Dwell-to have a permanent home
  • Secret place-a covering, the lord’s bosom

In other words, to live directly under God.

Verse 3. For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the deadly pestilence.

He will deliver you from someone who wants to capture and kill you. He will deliver you from COVID-19. If you choose to live in his presence.

Verse 4.

He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness is a shield and buckler.

Remember the four faces of god? One of them is an eagle. I see Father God as an eagle when I read this verse. If we will do our part and get next to Him or even bury ourselves in his feathers, He will be faithful and protect us. He will do it not only with a shield but with a buckler. Apparently, it’s a shield that surrounds.

So… if we dwell in and under Him, we will be in abundant grace for 2023. We will live in grace, upon grace, upon grace, upon grace, upon grace.

I don’t know about you, but I am excited about this coming year. I don’t have the typical new year resolutions like loose 30 lbs or starting a fitness plan. My goal is to go so deep under His wing that I will smell like eagle feathers.

I invite you to come and join me.

Say Something!

At the beginning of this year, God impressed on me that our ekklesia (fellowship, church) would change. I had the sense that some people would leave. I also knew that it would be friends that I would never expect to leave. I hate the tearing, the dismantling of relationships. Even though God warned me, I find myself grieving.

People move on for several reasons. Some go on to greater things or different kinds of ministry. Others have their life’s focus changed. I know one person that hasn’t been with us has a new job. It’s very demanding and she’s on a steep learning curve. Then again, some leave because of hurt and offense.

My dad’s side of the family didn’t communicate well. When conflict happened you had to be a master at reading inferences and body language. Rifts in his side of the family have lasted as long as fifty years. All because people couldn’t express how they feel in a safe environment. I purposed in my heart not to be that way. Frankly, if you have an issue with the ekklesia or me, I prefer that you yell at me than slink away in silence.

Let me give you an example of what I am talking about. A close girlfriend of mine used to be a part of the ekklesia. We had been friends for almost 20 years. I had shared new teaching on the topic of the Kabbalah. The origins of the Kabbalah date back centuries to the times when Jews were mystics. It’s an example of the Tree of Life. It’s not the twisted teachings that were made so popular by the singer Madonna and it’s not the mess that one trendy Christian teacher presents it as today. His views are very one-sided.

During that time, my friend announced that she wouldn’t be fellowshipping with us anymore. She was moving on to help another ministry. A few months went by, and the leader of that ministry came to visit with me about doing some joint activities together. As a side note, he made mention of my friend. She had told him about my Kabbalah teaching. She had taken offense. She thought it was the stuff Madonna was spewing. She told this man that I was leading the ekklesia astray. Wow! I was shocked. I had no clue. What a misunderstanding. But “really,” my dear friend couldn’t or wouldn’t let me know what she was thinking. The greatest loss was her’s.

There’s an old quote from Alcoholic’s Anonymous. “Our secrets make or keep us sick.” This is a prime example. Usually, there’s a misunderstanding or a lie that the hurt or offended person believes. In that case, if we don’t communicate, we are the ones that are being robbed of community, support, friendship, and fellowship.

Another friend doesn’t hang with us much because of personality issues. One of the ladies in our group bugged him. She’s very direct when she speaks. He would come to me and complain. I repeatedly told him that he needed to tell her and clear the air. Redundantly telling me wouldn’t solve the problem. At one point I set a goal for him. I gave him a week to talk to her. He didn’t do it. My friend, Del Hungerford says, “Our offenses create fences.” And that’s what happened in this case. It’s one of the reasons he stopped fellowshipping with us.

Saying nothing and staying away when there’s an issue doesn’t solve anything. It leaves the problem to fester like a thorn in an infected wound.

I know that most of the changes for NW Ekklesia this year are by divine plan. I encourage “us all” to SAY SOMETHING when you have an issue or conflict. The bottom line is you will feel a lot better.

Intimacy with God

 

It’s your turn

Hebrews 4:3 says that his works have been finished since the creation of the world.  He has done everything he is going to do for you. What does that mean? He is sitting on His seat of rest, and He is waiting for you. I repeatedly hear people say, “I don’t’ feel close to God.” “I have no intimacy with God.” Then I find out that they are doing nothing about it. Peter, James, and John were Jesus’ best friends because they desired him and desired to be with Him. It wasn’t because he liked them better than the other nine disciples.

I wondered why people don’t do more to seek after God. I quickly realized it was mostly because of wrong assumptions and lies.  Let’s review a few.

Hindrances to Intimacy with God

  1. It’s a lot of work. At least that’s the way a lot of us think. I can almost feel my clients tense up and groan when I talk about seeking after God. But when you fell in love with your significant other, did it feel like work? No. You were wrapped in the mystery and adventure of getting to know that person. You desired to be with them all the time. It was difficult to leave them until the next time you would meet again. You thought about them all the time. That’s the way it should be for you and God.
  2. You don’t know what to do to get close to God. Rather than try something, you do nothing at all. Well, I will give you a list of ideas. But please, don’t just do nothing. There’s an old saying. “You can’t steer a ship unless it’s moving.”
  3. You don’t feel worthy. Hogwash!!! He created you. He desires you. You argue that you have done terrible things and have disqualified yourself. God doesn’t look at it that way. Moses was a murder. David was an adulterer. God made you. It is his heart’s desire for you to live in his presence.
  4. God doesn’t like you or love you. Somehow you believe that you were created a second-class citizen. You think that you were made differently than most people. Psalm 139 says that He formed you and knitted you together in your mother’s womb. It says that you were fearfully and wonderfully made. Jeremiah 1:5 says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born, I consecrated you.” Also, Romans 8:29 For unto those who he knew beforehand, he also marked out beforehand the way that they might be conformed to the image of his Son. He has always known you. You just don’t remember. If you don’t believe this, tell me, and let’s work on it together.

The journey

It starts with you, your heart’s desire, and the effort you are willing to put into the adventure of knowing God. Artisans don’t become great without practice. If you desire to be full of His wisdom, if you want to fall in love with God, if you are yearning for His peace and His Joy, “you” must do something about it. He is waiting for you to come to Him. Why is he waiting? Because He has done His part. He wants you to seek Him. It will help you understand your love for him.  Matthew 6:18 also says,” Seek first the kingdom of God.” He’s a gentle person. He isn’t going to force you into anything you don’t want to do. My Dad used to say that the process is as important as the end result. It’s in the doing that truth gets cemented in our lives. He wants you to understand the value of your relationship with Him.

What’s more important to a man, a Mercedes. or a Fiat? The Mercedes because it cost him more. The same thing is true with God. Seeking Him will help you value God in your life.

So, what can you do to know Him?

 

Avenues to intimacy

  1. Read or listen to books You need to lay a foundation that is unshakable. It starts with knowing the bible and other supporting works like the Book of Enock, The Book of Jubilees, The Book of Giants. Why you ask? Well, 2 Timothy 2:15 says, “Study to show yourself approved to God.” Also, John 8:32 says, “You shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” The word know means to bury within you. I’ll say it again if you hate reading use an app like Audible and listen. If you have a short attention span, listen to the same book three times. You will understand something new every time.
  2. Learn meditation A great place to start is http://www.practicalmeditations.online/ This is Kirby De Lanerolle’s website. Another link is the Fuse Life podcast https://youtu.be/jyYS-48MvXU This is an interview with Taylor Remington. It will explain meditation to you if you are unfamiliar.
  3. Silence Spend time in silence and just focus on the presence of God. Start with just five minutes once or twice a day. If your mind wanders, it’s okay. Just do it again. You will find yourself more and more focused as you practice. Have you ever heard someone say, “We are changed in His presence?” This is one of the ways.
  4. Living Loved I highly recommend Katherine Wang’s course on intimacy with God. It’s a series of 20-minute lessons with practical exercises. Not only will it make you feel closer to God, but it will also improve your sanctified imagination.
  5. Sounds, Frequencies, and Sound Baths I know this may sound crazy to you. But it helps detox and align your cells. There are a few links I recommend for this. Elisabeth Cooper Music https://elisabethcooper.com/, Del Hungerford at Healing Frequencies Music https://www.healingfrequenciesmusic.com/ The third is Laura C https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6tTPQqW1ghZBoPm_BuGDdw. Listen! Sit silently in God’s presents. Things will manifest in you and through you.
  6. Divine Journaling. Get a notebook just for you and God. 1) Ask him a question and write it down. 2) Write down any thoughts that come to your mind. If you think it’s just your imagination or fantasy, share the journal with someone you trust. In time, you will know when it is you talking or daydreaming and when God truly answers you.
  7. Use your imagination You can do many things in your imagination. Go for walks with God. Dance with Jesus. Let Holy Spirit wrap her skirts around you like hugging your mom’s legs when you were a child. Sit on a park bench with Jesus. Go sailing or horseback riding with God and journal what happens. Again, if you think it is pure fantasy, share it with and friend and see what they think.

Well, that’s about it for now.  I pray this blog help’s you.

Waiting for your Armor of God?

You are wearing it now!!!

I just completed a teaching on the armor of God less than a year ago. Yet, I was working on helping one of my clients with her armor and more bits of revelation came to me. Consequently, if you have seen the teaching and activation on my YouTube channel, this blog will expound a bit more on this subject.

Do you remember in the 90’s it was popular to memorize and quote Ephesians 6 every day? It was recommended that you put on your armor of God every morning. For some reason that never sat well with me. I don’t know why. I just didn’t understand what good it would do. Everyone used the quote “put on the armor of God.” That was the phrase. “put on.” But, scripture doesn’t say anything about putting on the armor of God. It says to take up the arm of God, or it says to take unto yourself the armor of God. The Greek word, Dia, is used in Ephesians 6:13. It means to place with or to place in. Regarding time, it means through or during. So, we are to place the armor of God with us and in us. We are to have it throughout time and during time. What does that mean? The end of the verse says, “to withstand in the evil day. “  The word for evil here is, Poneros, meaning pressed and harassed by labors, bringing toils, annoyances, perils; of a time full of peril to Christian faith and steadfastness; causing pain and trouble. Our world is currently in unrest. Many countries are living through political turmoil. A plague has spread throughout the world. It’s affecting the economies of most countries. It’s been sixty years since we have seen protests and rioting over issues that divide us. I think that is what I would call evil days. Wouldn’t you? Could it be that we need our armor now?

Guess what? Most of us have at least some of it on right now. And some of us have all of it on right now. We have our armor on because of our choice to seek after God and become like Christ. Do you know the difference between someone who chooses to tell the truth and a person of integrity? There are people who have no problem telling truth or lies. What they choose to say depends on each situation. It’s actually called situational ethics. The person that has made truth a lifestyle lives in it. Making truth of lifestyle means they are always wearing their breast of righteousness. Now that’s a person of integrity.

I used to think of the phrase in verse 17, the helmet of Salvation, as solely eternal salvation. But that’s not true. It’s salvation from our troubles. It’s salvation from the onslaught of those who would do us harm whether it be a war or someone trying to break into your house. It can be temporal and well as eternal of salvation. The same verse then mentions the sword of the spirit. What spirit? Whose spirit? Well, it means Holy Spirit and your spirit. This is my opinion. But I have come to think of it as the combination of the two of us. If the Holy Spirit is a gas and I am a gas, then we mingle. Gases mingle. Somehow, we become one cloud. Scripture says that both the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit are the word of God. What is the word of God? Most people would answer “the bible.” To be more accurate, it is revelation. When you have a relationship with God, He speaks truths and mysteries to you. Think about it. Have you ever had an “Ah Ha” moment? It’s God making know to you what his word truly means. The people who wrote the bible first had revelation. If they didn’t have revelation, nothing would have been written.  Simply, when you make living in His presence, receiving His truths, and revelation a lifestyle, you always have your sword and helmet with you and in you.

Are you starting to understand why quoting the scripture every day back in the ’90s caused me concern? Because no amount of memorizing the scripture or imagining dressing in it made the armor effective. When you carry truth, justice, God’s word, love, peace, and faith, with you and in you. Your armor is on!

Keeping short accounts helps keep the armor on too. Do you have peace with all men? Did you get angry and hateful recently? Did you choose fear over faith about an event in your life? Take a moment to give all of that to God and receive his forgiveness. Just like that! Your armor is on!

I would then recommend meeting with some friends and taking a look at each other’s armor. Its fun and you will learn a lot about your friends. Here’s the link to a video when we did it together.

Here’s the link to my video about your armor. I hope you enjoy it. https://youtu.be/yU74LaZoVz8
