JoAnn
McFatter: "The Divine Exchange Between Heaven and Earth--A New Sound Is
Being Released"
Constant
Exchanges
There
is at all times, a sound being released from earth to Heaven, as well as from
Heaven to earth--a divine exchange, so to speak. In the unseen realm, it is in
the form of energy patterns, waves, particles. Although the vast majority of it
is not heard with our natural ear, it is sensed by us because we are part of
this existence.
What is coming from our end is "heard" by God, and I believe
that He has an ever-flowing response back to us, which we need to be aware of and
"tune into" with our spirit man, so as to tap into that constant communion we can
have with Him. We often refer to it, as does Scripture, "spirit to spirit,
deep to deep." In John 17, Jesus prays concerning our oneness with Him,
"...that
they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and you in Me."
Regardless of
whether we are conscious of it or not, without that constant exchange, this world
as we know it, would not even exist..."in Him all things consist."
In the Beginning Was the Word
When God set up this whole existence of ours, He put it all in motion with the
release of His sound, His Word, "Let there be Light."
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were
made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was
life, and the life was the light of men. And the light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness did not comprehend (overcome) it." John 1:1-5
Science is just now catching up with the Word, but what they are
discovering these days, especially in the quantum world of physics, is
absolutely amazing as it pertains to Scripture.
He released His sound...His Word out of Eternity. All we have experienced,
all we do experience, and all we will
experience, is held together by His Word. Science calls it the zero energy point, which
is at the very center of the smallest particle. It is what keeps everything from
collapsing all around us. Jesus is the fleshly Manifestation of that Word--He IS
the Word.
In Him All Things Consist
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by
Him all things were created that are in Heaven and that are on earth, visible
and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All
things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in
Him all things consist." Colossians 1:15-17
It is all held together by Him, again, "...and in Him all things consist." I had
to look up the word "consist." I've heard this passage misquoted many times. I,
myself, have misquoted this passage because of the way I've heard it said so
often as "all things exist," rather than "consist." I looked up the word
"consist" because the Holy Spirit used that word specifically, and the misquote drew my
attention to it. The word consist means, "To be made up or composed, to be
comprised or contained, to exist together or be capable of existing together." I
found this very interesting--all of this is made capable of existing together
only in Him.
A Sound of Breakthrough
There is a sound of BREAKTHROUGH being released from Heaven in this hour that I
believe can even be activated by our sounds of worship mixed with the sound of
faith here on the earth. Our agreement with Heaven's agenda will truly affect
the outcome.
It may be strange to hear the phrase, "the sound of faith" or "the sound of good
works," but energy that is released from these things really does have a sound.
Worship is a sound, whether it be audible or inaudible to our natural ear,
flowing from us to the Father. When we direct our hearts, our intent toward Him,
even when we don't verbalize it, there are waves and/or vibrations that are
released into the atmosphere that He sees, smells, hears, tastes--that He
receives unto Himself.
Obviously, Scripture uses metaphor to describe the
exchange between God and His creation--"Taste and see that the Lord is good."
Our prayers are as an incense unto Him and He "fills His nostrils" with it.
There are so many examples. But if you were to really look at what is happening
at a subatomic level, that unseen realm, our words and sounds are releasing
energy into the atmosphere that everything around us is affected by.
See and Smell the Spirit Realm
I am reminded of something Neville Johnson (a father to the body of Christ in
matters of the Spirit) shared in a teaching session. He went through a period of
time, I believe several months, where the Lord caused him to see and smell the
spirit realm--particularly, the realm of emotions. He actually saw the colors
and smelled the fragrance that was released from people as they entertained
emotions.
If a person was angry he saw red coming from them with a foul scent
accompanying it. Jealousy in a person released a greenish grey color, again with
a particular foul smell. The most fowl scent of all came with self-pity. Demons
would see and smell it and flock to the person to fuel the emotion. It worked as
well on the flip side of that.
Positive emotions released particular colors and
pleasant fragrances, causing angels to come. My point is that we see, hear, and
sense only in part what is taking place in the unseen realm. Actually, Neville
begged God to "turn it off" because it was driving him crazy to be constantly
aware of all of this. God is constantly aware of all of this, and even more, in
all of creation at all times.
John Paul's Heavenly Visitation
I remember John Paul Jackson shared an experience he had in Heaven during a
visitation. He said every fiber of his being was illuminated as if it were alive,
and he was conscious of how everything in his body was connected--even things
science and the medical field are not yet aware of.
In his thoughts, he knew that
God was that aware of every aspect of creation at all times--every blade of
grass, every particle of every atom, as well as every creature, every human on
the earth--not to mention the things of Heaven. What we say and what we do, does
not go unnoticed by God. Every intent of our heart, every action, every word,
every song, it's all "breathed in," so to speak, by God.
John Paul went on to
say that when a word was released in Heaven, with it came music, fragrance, a
color of light, and a numerical equation. I was undone by this statement, as I
had been studying physics, light, sound, and color for a couple of years, and at
that point, I wasn't even sure why.
I would go to the book store, stand in
front of the science section and throw my arms up to God, saying "What?! What am I doing here?!" Then a couple of titles would catch my eye, and I
would buy the books, go home, and try to read them. Well, when John Paul
mentioned the numerical equation with each word I just started sobbing. That's
what physics is all about--mathematical equations!
My heart was so relieved,
thinking, "This is You, God. You really are behind this!" Many of you have that
same sigh of relief, "I'm not going crazy after all, and I am hearing God on all
of this." I can't tell you how many people have said the same thing to me in the
last few years--God is up to something!
Spirit to
spirit Understanding
Something's up in the Spirit and it's a
spirit to spirit understanding He is giving us in this hour. Things have
escalated drastically and there is a divine acceleration going on. I liken it to
an earthquake. If you were to say that the end of time as we know, is at the
epicenter of the quake, then the closer we get to it, the stronger and faster the
ripples will be that pull us toward it.
God is going to be releasing
understanding at a greater pace. We are going to be much more acclimated to the
unseen realm, and I believe we will be more able to sense and discern what is
happening as a result of our actions and our words. We will see and hear
more clearly His response and Heaven's response, as we become more skilled in
the ways of the spirit and the unseen realm.
I am setting the stage to move into some explanation of just how our words, our
actions, our worship affect the unseen realm. The church is finally exploring
that which was meant for us as believers from the beginning of time. We lost the
understanding of His ways as we trusted more and more in the thoughts and ways
of man...the opinions and traditional ways of thinking in Greek-based philosophy.
We need to begin to pray and ask for the fullness of God to be released in our
spirits, that we might be enlightened to the way He meant for us to walk with
Him even on this earth. He said He would have those who worship Him in spirit
and in truth.
Worship Is Key in the Releasing
There really is something on the horizon in the not so very distant
future.
Worship will be key in releasing much of this. It will be used to change the
atmosphere for the Light to penetrate the darkness "and the darkness will not
comprehend (overcome) it."
As He is lifted up, He will draw all men
unto Him. God is unlocking mysteries and allowing us to peer into things we've
not understood until now.
There is a line in a song that He gave me that goes, "Breaking the sound
barrier, breaking the barrier of sound between Heaven and the ground." We've got
to get in touch with the power of our words and, yes, even the intent of our
hearts. As we align ourselves with the "Sound of Heaven," these things will begin
to manifest on the earth.
Grace...grace.
