VALLEY GATE & DUNG GATE

SEPTEMBER 24, 2011

Elul 25th - 26th, the 6th month on the sacred Calendar. This is the month of Preparation and Purification. The shofar blast is sounding and calling us to awaken, turn, draw near to Him and move forward. There are 4 days left and we enter the 7th month.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ELUL 25

In the Book of Nehemiah, the 12 Gates & Wall were restored in 52 days on Elul 25. "So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days." Nehemiah 6:15 According to ancient tradition Elul 25 is the first day of creation. It is the day the Creator spoke and said, "LIGHT BE," or as some translations record, "Let there be light." Six days of cycles later, Adam was created on Tishrei 1 - Feast of Trumpets, Rosh Hashanah, the New Year.

The hidden mystery of the 12 Gates being finished on Elul 25 is Light. When the soul has traveled through the 12 levels of consciousness, soul comes to Light or expresses the purest form of Light. This is the fully manifested light of the new creation with the ability to create worlds even as the Creator. At this point, soul has merged with spirit in a union that makes them inseparable. This is the inner Marriage Supper of the Lamb, where the living soul (mind, will, emotion, intellect and imagination) is swallowed up completely into the life-giving spirit. The frequency from this union totally transforms the human form into a divine form, a body of light.

THE VALLEY GATE

Before the privilege of soul expressing through a light body, there are other very valuable lessons and experiences. The 4th level of consciousness seems to be in direct contrast with the glories of expressing the divine form. It is the Valley Gate. The ebbs and flow, ups and downs of life are what teaches us how to appreciate and keep balanced.

The Valley Gate led to (2) very important Valleys in the Bible. Valley implies going down. I was told many years ago that the way up is down, I found that to be true. Humility and humiliation is very much necessary as soul is expressed through the 12 levels of consciousness. This helps to strip us from the ego.

VALLEY OF HINNOM

With out going through a lengthy explanation, the valley of Hinnom is Hell. This is where the rebellious souls (people) offered their children to the fire-god Molech as a sacrifice to be burned. This Valley was littered with bones and the stench of death causing many to be defiled. The Valley Gate led to this horrible place.

Hinnom was situated between Mt Zion and the Hill of Evil Counsel, but it led to the plains of Rephaims. Hinnom means to lament, mourn. The hill’s harsh name goes back to a Byzantine tradition identifying it as the place where the High Priest Caiphas and his associates decided to arrest Jesus. John 11:47-50 Rephaim means dead ones. The Rephaim links back to the hybrids (human-angel/alien mixture).

The 4th level of consciousness is the awareness of evil and the soul experiencing it. The realities of heaven within or without can be fully appreciated by those that have been to hell and back. The Valley of Hinnom should not be a place where one would camp out or want to reside. However, a traveler leaving or entering the Valley Gate many times will become defiled by death all around. David said, "You will not leave my soul in hell." Later, Hinnom was called Gehenna in Greek, this is the word translated in English from the Bible to mean Hell. Gehenna or Hell evolved into the garbage dump outside of Jerusalem, where the fire burned continuously and the worms or maggots lived forever. Hell is hot and filthy, the lust and carnal thinking can make it even hotter. Plus, there is the hill of evil counsel at your side whispering and conspiring against the soul; planning to imprison it. On the opposite side is Mt Zion where Solomon's Temple stood in great splendor and glory. It was literally heaven on earth with a 24/7 - 24,000 voice prophetic choir. 1000 freshly anointed voices sang and prophesied each hour, for an hour long; their voices in surround sound reverberating throughout Jerusalem and the valley. 1 Chronicles 25

Heaven and Hell are closer than most people realize, they are between your ears. It is in this 4th level of consciousness the disciple realizes just how close they are. It is our thought process that gives us access to both realities. If you find yourself surrounded by what we call evil, or even committing evil acts; all you have to do is turn and look up. You may have gotten stuck in the plains of addictions among the Rephaim, walking dead ones; just turn and look up. If you have been taken captive by the religious plotters that conspired to take your soul away, just turn and look up. The angelic prophetic voices and mystical music of heaven will lift you up. You will see the glittering Temple of God on Mt Zion. As you turn and look within, the grace of God will find you.

VALLEY OF KIDRON

[Another important valley that's opposite the Valley Gate is Kidron. Kidron is also called, the Valley where God will judge. This was a place where idols were brought and destroyed. Kidron leads directly into Gethsemane where Jesus prayed until his sweat and tears were as blood. John 18:1 Kidron is the place of overcoming and deliverance].

"Even though I walk through the valley of the shadows of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me." Psalms 23

WHO BUILT THE VALLEY GATE

The valley gate repaired Hanun, and the inhabitants of Zanoah; they built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof, and a thousand cubits on the wall..." Nehemiah 3:13

Hanun mean Gracious, grace. Zanoah means to cast off, a marshy or stinky place. It takes the grace of God to bring us out of our stinky places or mindsets. We have seen from the beginning of this study, many of the names surrounding the work of restoration points to Grace. We are reminded that this is not a work produced by flesh or religious doctrines; it is a work of grace within us.

Key words for the Valley Gate are; DEFEAT & DELIVERANCE. Allow this to be your affirmation. WHAT APPEARS AS MY DEFEAT IS MY DELIVERANCE

--------------------------------------------------

THE DUNG GATE

The 5th level of consciousness introduces us to the Dung Gate, which is an extension of the Valley Gate. Isn't that the way life is sometime? It seems like its full of sh@# and people are full of sh@#.

This level of consciousness teaches us the harsh reality of; out of all of our studying, reading, education, attending seminary, list of alphabets after our name, awards and accolades from men; YOU DON'T KNOW SH@#!!! The Apostle Paul was groomed and raised to be a Pharisee from a child. He was very zealous, well versed in the law and spoke several languages. After many years and even many years after his conversion; he had an epiphany. "IT'S ALL DUNG!!" That is one of the most powerful and liberating awakening anyone can have. In order to see it or define it for what it is, one must be very close to it.

Paul realized, it's not about how much I think I know, how many churches I plant, souls I win, bodies I heal, prophecies I get right. As great as those things are; the career, education, family life, prosperous future; it's nothing. He had to let it all go, dump it. It was nothing compared to getting to intimately know Christ. He also talks about winning Christ; which is the full awareness of the Christ within.

"The very credentials these people are waving around as something special, I'm tearing up and throwing out with the trash - along with everything else I used to take credit for. And why? Because of Christ. Yes, all the things I once thought were so important are gone from my life. Compared to the high privilege of knowing Christ Jesus as my Master, firsthand, everything I once thought I had going for me is insignificant Dog Dung. I've dumped it all in the trash so that I could embrace Christ and be embraced by him. I didn't want some petty, inferior brand of righteousness that comes from keeping a list of rules when I could get the robust kind that comes from trusting Christ, God's righteousness." Philippians 3:7-9 - Message Bible

WHAT WAS THAT ALL ABOUT?

At this point, the disciple must realize that both the shame and glory of the superficial life is nothing more that raw or glorify waste. But wait a minute, God did not allow you go through all that dung for nothing. Paul had to study, get an education and sharpen his oratory skills. He would one day stand before dignitaries, declaring the mysteries of God. These were things that no man could teach him. He could now understand the spirit of the law and all the things he had learned. The Dung Gate is very important for taking out the waste, when it is no longer necessary to be a part of our body (life).

As smelly and crappy as your situation might appear to be, it is serving a purpose. Whenever you feel that around every corner dung is being thrown your way, the Universe is trying to let you know, it time to GROW to next level. There are some attributes in you that need to be fertilized. There are some dream seeds of greatness that wont germinate and Grow until after you have been dumped on several time. The fastest growth will come from fertilizer dumped on you by your family, people closest to you.

WHO BUILT THE DUNG GATE??

"But the dung gate repaired Malchiah the son of Rechab, the ruler of part of Bethhaccerem; he built it, and set up the doors thereof, the locks thereof, and the bars thereof." Nehemiah 3:14

Malchiah means King of Yahweh, or appointed king by God. Rechab means Horseman, rider. Bethhaccerem mean house of vineyards, winery.

This 5th level of consciousness teaches us as the soul is purified that; everything is considered waste compared to the knowledge of Christ. However, the souls' level of authority and power is determined by how much sh@# (dung) you can handle. At this level the kingship anointing is passed on to those that know how to adapt to dung and transmute it into fertilizer.

"He raises up the poor out of the dust, and lifts up the beggar from the dunghill, to set [them] among princes, and to make them inherit the throne of glory: for the pillars of the earth [are] the LORD'S, and he hath set the world upon them." 1 Samuel 2:8

Nothing is wasted. The key words for the Dung Gate are: "LET GO" & "GROW". Let this be your affirmation: I USE EVERY OPPORTUNITY LIFE BRINGS TO GROW

Let Psalms 27 be your meditation.
