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.

NW Ekklesia's Blueprint

NW Ekklesia also has a blueprint from God:

NW Ekklesia is an equipping center with the purpose to train, equip, and release people into their true identity and calling, to manifest heaven on earth through divinely aligned dimensions.

Please refer to the NW Ekklesia blueprint topics on our website:

  • Sound and Frequency
  • Wholeness & Health
  • Kingdom Stewardship
  • Creativity & Identity
  • Kingdom Government

Members of the council met to dig a bit deeper into blueprints and scolls, how they are different, how they are similar, how they relate to an organization, and how they relate to group and individual identity. Check out the video below!

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 4:12 “Nor 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.


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.

Intimacy or Fear?

Last week was one of those weeks. Several people sent me links to videos about current events and politics. I am sure that they intend to help prepare people for disasters and difficult seasons. However, most of the time these videos are based in fear. When we operate from fear, we entertain the ridiculous. For example, President Trump does not have the power to invoke martial law globally. Every country in the world would have to agree with him on this issue. Have we ever seen all the governments of the world agree on anything? Why would we think this could happen now? President Trump also does not have a secret command base underneath Antarctica by which he will govern the world. How would that be possible? In what reality would China and Russia ever let go of their controls to let someone else protect them? When we get in fear, we react rather than think. (However, if you are in the right frame of mind, the absurd can be entertaining.)

All week long I found myself thinking, “If we just had more intimacy with God?” I know my Father. He is for us and wants to provide for us. So, what is the problem? We are in the way and is our personal stuff in the way? Is our fear, our desire to provide for ourselves, and our ability to self-comfort all in the way of God’s word, His glory, and His love.

As I thought about preparing this blog, I found myself wondering how do I avoid just handing out another opinion? How do I resonate with your heart? I would like your feedback. I think the answer is in God’s love and intimacy because that is what keeps pulling at my heart. More love! More intimacy! Let me know if this is true for you.

I don’t find myself agonizing or panicking over current world events. Sometimes I think maybe we are headed for something like the race riots of the 1960s, or maybe civil war could break out again. Candidly, I spend most of my days enfolded in what God is doing. I see physical healings, provision, relational healings, and more. I am aware of God’s glory all over the earth even in these times. I make attempts to minister to those who reject me and my teachings. Because of being enfolded in all of that, I miss a lot of the current goings-on. I am not saying that this is what God wants for you. Maybe you have found God’s will for your life and it’s to be in politics. But, if that is true, you will know because of the fruit you will bear. You know…love, joy, peace, patience. If you are involved in politics and full of frustration and division. Could it be that something is wrong?

I am going to share some scriptures with you. They are well-meaning. However, they are just words if they don’t sink into your heart. Can I encourage you to spend some time meditating on them?

Jesus is our King.

Revelations 19: 16 “On his robe and on his thigh, he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.”

Jesus is our Lord and King. No one else should be king in your life, not the mayor of your city, not the governor of your state or territory, not the president or prime minister of your country. Yes, you should give your government what is required of you. These leaders were put in your life for a reason. But you don’t serve them. You serve your Lord Jesus first.

Acts 5:29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men.”

God is the Reigning Authority.

Psalm 97:1, “The Lord reigns, let the earth rejoice;

    let the many coastlands be glad!

 2 Clouds and thick darkness are all around him;

    righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.

 3 Fire goes before him

    and burns up his adversaries all around.

 4 His lightnings light up the world;

    the earth sees and trembles.

 5 The mountains melt like wax before the Lord,

    before the Lord of all the earth.

6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness,

    and all the peoples see his glory.

 7 All worshipers of images are put to shame

    who make their boast in worthless idols;

    worship him, all you gods!”

Our Answers are in Him and His Kingdom.

Matthew 6:33, “Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.” God’s righteousness includes integrity, virtue, and justice. Justice is the act of setting things right.

 

Okay, that’s all I have for now.

For you, I pray the peace that passes understanding. May you be enveloped in His love.

Life can be Painful!

 

Boy, I’m telling you. There are seasons and then there are seasons. As of late, I feel like I’ve been living in a coffee grinder. I’m ground up, but refined. I’ve had to look at myself in a new light. I found things inside of me that I didn’t know existed. They were mostly lies. I had a great fear of loss. I didn’t know that I thought myself unworthy of God’s provision.  I also found that I had difficulty accepting honor from others. But, I believe the biggest one was, “Who would want to listen to me.” Seriously, you can’t travel, teach, and speak when you are continually tripping over these issues. Yet, God kept nudging me forward.

 

In the process of searching my heart. I found that two sections of scripture had become extremely meaningful. The first is the Beatitudes, chapter 5 of Matthew. The second, Psalm 36, verses  5 through 9. I going to tell you about the most meaningful verses and leave the rest alone for now.

The Beatitudes (CSB)

3 “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

Have you ever felt that? Dear God, “There is nothing left of me!   I am nothing, and I have nothing to offer.” Then it dawns on you that through Him, you have so much more. Your inheritance “is” the kingdom of heaven. In and of God, you have exceedingly more than enough to live in the kingdom of heaven here on earth and do His will.

4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

Have you had a dear loved one die? Have you lost realms and reams of friends because of the path God has directed you to walk? What about a near-death experience? There’s nothing like being told you were dying. Oh, let’s not forget bankruptcy. Financial trouble because you lost your job or your mate left you is such a stressful experience. The only place to turn is to God. Only he can truly help.

Recently, I  spent the evening crying and singing worship songs? I knew it was okay to mourn. I knew joy would come in the morning. However, for that moment it was all I could do to just grieve.  And… joy did come in the morning!

5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

I have lost count the number for times I’ve cried out to Him. I  just wanted to see His face and know Him. I’d call that to hunger and thirst. Wouldn’t you? Did you know that righteousness, in this case,  means to be just like Jesus? God says He sees the end from the beginning. He sees us as whole and complete. That means we are already just like him. As we accept the truth, and our faith grows, the manifestation of Christ in our lives will become obvious.

7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God.

10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for the kingdom of heaven is theirs.

Recently, I stood my ground on some issues. I held someone accountable for their actions. I told them they needed to repent. Remember, that repenting is a change of mind which brings about a change of ways or actions.  Consequently, I was pronounced bitter and unforgiving. That’s a very mild form of persecution. What would happen if another religion or government told you that you had to renounce your faith? Wowsers! I think it would take the grace of God to live through that. But, the end result is that the kingdom of heaven is yours. I think the more we ascend and spend time in the kingdom of God that it will become an increasing reality to us.

Psalm 36 is the cap to my blog today. It’s all about His love for us. He is our refuge in intimacy. We are safely nestled next to His body under his wing. When we stay in His love, we see His provision from His house and His wellspring. What a picture of love that is me.

Take a moment to meditate on this passage. It will comfort you and encourage you. Especially if life has some challenges right now.

Psalm 36 (CSB)

5 Lord, your faithful love reaches to heaven, your faithfulness to the clouds.

6 Your righteousness is like the highest mountains, your judgments like the deepest sea.

Lord, you preserve people and animals.

7 How priceless your faithful love is, God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings.

8 They are filled from the abundance of your house. You let them drink from Your refreshing stream.

9 For the wellspring of life is with you. By means of your light, we see light.

 

See you in His light,

Anna

Self-pity (Part 2)

I am finally back to finish this post. I went to Restoration of all Things conference in England. Nancy Coen, Justin Abraham, Lindy Strong, and Mike Parsons spoke. Wow, it was probably the most significant meetings I have attended to date. Here’s the link if your interested, https://freedomarc.org/roat

OK, off the rabbit trail and back to the task at hand. How do you help someone that’s drowning in self-pity and a victim spirit? First of all, I know how annoying repeated ramblings of these persons can be. But, that’s no reason to ask them to leave. The only time I let go of someone is when they are dangerous to others. I never tell them to go away. If they are complaining in a group setting, I will say now is not the time or place for this. I will ask them to schedule a meeting with me during a private time. If they don’t want help, they’ll eventually stop coming to your meetings.

Now for those that do want help, I have a protocol of 3 simple steps. But don’t be deceived. Those steps may take months to accomplish.

Step 1) Healing sessions (You may have your own techniques that work also.)
I ask them to go back in their memories to the first time they felt the root of their pain. For example, if they can never get over grieving the loss of a loved one, I ask him or her to go back to the very first time they felt that kind of pain. Usually, it’s when they were a child. I then ask them (in their imagination) to stand before either Father God, Jesus, or Holy Spirit. I ask him or her to stand where they feel the safest. I then tell them to imagine that they’re holding that memory and pain in their hands. From here on out, I use a repeat after me prayer. it goes something like this.

Father, here is the pain from _______. Please take all my negative emotions and memories, they are _________. I ask them to state everything that comes to mind. I tell them a significant key to this is to let God take those things rather than give them. If God takes them, it’s very difficult to get them back. Then I wait until the person feels the burden of all those memories and emotions lift. If nothing happens, then you usually need to go further back in the person’s memories. Believe it or not, I’ve had to go into the womb with people. After that, they should be able to recall the memory without any pain. I have had people tell me it’s like watching a black and white movie.

The next thing that I ask them to do is wait until the Lord gives them something. They will get an impression or see something in the spirit. When you create an empty space from something negative, it needs to be filled with something positive. What better thing than a gift from God. Yes, it’s usually symbolism but it can have a deep meaning.

Step 2) The next step is getting them to engage with the firestones. Gal 5:22-23 “The fruit of the spirit (or maturity) is, love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against which there is no law.” This is actually a path to maturity and it goes up the mountain of the Lord. Some people can engage with all these steps quickly. Others will take months on each step. But for healing purposes, the most important are love, joy, and peace. They need to continue to go back to these steps until they have revelation and understanding. You’ll know when this is accomplished because people who get new revelation from God can hardly wait to share. You’ll see and hear the difference.

So why love, joy, and peace? Well, God’s love is the foundation for everything. As stated in Nehemiah, joy is our strength and Philippians tells us that peace guards our hearts in minds.

Nehemiah 8:10 the joy of the Lord is my strength

Philippians 4:7
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Step 3) Help them find their identity. A good place to start is Arthur Burke’s redemptive gifts material. Taking a redemptive gifts test won’t hurt either. You can also go to Freedomarc.org and search their blog for the material. Lastly, and this is very important. Ascend with them. Help them explore their personal mountains and their gates.

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any more questions,

Feeding your Ability to See in the Spirit

(Part 2, Tongues and Meditative Prayer)

 

Can you improve your ability to see in the spirit? Can you improve your ability to travel in the spirit?  What’s the difference between seeing in the spirit and remote viewing? What’s the difference between traveling in the spirit and astral projection?  Should Christians open their third eye? … Wow, that’s a scary thought.

 

Some Christians are really afraid to face these issues. Some think it’s evil or demonic. However, I find that most believers who fellowship and associate with us see these activities as things that the Lord would have us do.    I am going to address these issues from the standpoint that supernatural activity is a part of a victorious Christian life.

 

You know that when we become born again, we receive the Holy Spirit. Simply, our spirit connects with God. Therein lies the difference to all of this.  If you are not a believer, you are using your soul to see,  or travel outside of your body, or prophesy, or participate in healing.  Several symptoms earmark the differences. If these practices are done by the guidance of Holy Spirit, we have peace and God’s love guiding us. People who do these practices by their soul say that it is uncomfortable. Testimony given says that it can even be painful.     But, as believers, we have very clear tools to guide our way. Galatians 5:22-23, ” The fruit of the spirit is love,  joy,  peace,  patience,   kindness,  goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. Against such, there is no law.”  You should sense those attributes when you participate in supernatural activities. If you don’t, STOP!

 

I’m going to divert from my train of thought for a moment and talk about the third eye. What is that?    Its when a nonbeliever forces open the pineal gland or force the pineal gland to function in the brain?  God gave us the pineal gland. It’s a little bitty cone-shaped gland that’s near the pituitary gland, the auditory canal, the top of the spinal cord, and the optic nerve. It’s at a transitional or pivotal point in the brain.  Opening it can be done by satanic ritual, new age practices, or other religious rituals done by groups such as the Hindus.  It is forced to work.

 

However, when we participate in supernatural activities through God’s peace and love  The organs and glands of the brain work as a symphony our spirit and Holy Spirit. Yes, you’re nervous system, your endocrine system, and your organs all support supernatural activity. God built us that way.   I think God knew what He was doing when he placed the pineal gland adjacent to those other glands and nerves.

 

If you haven’t read the first half of this blog, I encourage you to go back and do so.  Because, when we pray in tongues, or pray and meditate on the name of Jesus, or say the  YHVH, the pineal gland secretes Melatonin and the frontal lobe of our brain relaxes. Basically, we go into a receiving mode.  We hear God more clearly. We see visions. Some people even smell and hear in the spirit.

 

So here’s the $50,000,000 question. How do you feed your supernatural abilities? You make praying tongues, meditating on God and his word a continuing practice in your life.  Practice in one form or another improves your life. You become a better gardener when you practice gardening techniques. You become a better musician when you play your instrument daily.     You will improve your intuition, discernment, ability to prophesy, seeing in the spirit, traveling in the spirit, and more if you practice it. Once again, it begins with praying in tongues along with prayer and meditation on God and his word.

 

Let me know if this post helped you. I’d love to hear from you.

 

Abundant blessings,

 

Anna
