To Seek Out A Matter - Jesus' (Yeshua's) Name on the Barn Roof - Now Think On This by Steve Martin
To Seek Out A Matter
- Jesus' (Yeshua's) Name on the Barn Roof
June 14, 2019
Greetings Love For His People friends and Now Think On This readers,
As the Lord gives us dreams, visions, and prophetic words (as promised He would), we must be diligent in seeking what He is saying to us, and not dismiss them as "odd, weird, not understandable". He enjoys giving these opportunities to us in order for us to know and walk in His ways. It is our choice whether we will seek further understanding or not.
"God gets glory from concealing things; kings get glory from investigating things." (Proverbs 25:2, Complete Jewish Bible)
I share the following email written on June 14, 2019, with you, for your consideration too and further thought, as I shared it previously with others.
Ahava and shalom,

Liz,
In further prayer in regards to the word/vision you received during our staff prayer time on Tuesday, June 11, 2019, of the Lord wanting us to "paint or place His Name on the roof of the Barn, for all to see", I am not wanting to simply dismiss it, as does happen at times due to lack of understanding or unbelief. I am believing it was given to us and for us to seek His thoughts more certainly. And so I have. These are my thoughts.
1. The Lord says that His Name is over Jerusalem, as He has chosen it to be as such. It is He Himself Who has placed His Name there.

1. The Lord says that His Name is over Jerusalem, as He has chosen it to be as such. It is He Himself Who has placed His Name there.
1 Kings 14:21, "Now Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the Lord had chosen from all the tribes of Israel to put His name there." NASU
Also in Ezra 6:12, "May the God who has caused His name to dwell there overthrow any king or people who attempts to change it, so as to destroy this house of God in Jerusalem. I, Darius, have issued this decree, let it be carried out with all diligence!" NASU
Being He has chosen Jerusalem to put His Name there, we know it is a very special place. He thus has chosen to dwell there and will return there,
In my spirit, what I put forth in consideration is that what you saw in the spirit is that the Lord is also putting His Name on this place, and it is thus a very place. Not just some ordinary "barn", but as barns are known for gathering and storing until the time for planting, and then gathering/storing the harvest is done, so will this place be.

I believe He has never given up on this place, even as He has never given up on Jerusalem. Once He chooses, it will never be forsaken or left to destruction, but will (has been) restored for His end-time purposes.
We can take it a step further and consider that even as He is returning His Chosen Ones to Israel (aliyah), He will/is bringing back His people, in this area, to this place, even as we must remain steadfast in preparing for those days which are coming to this place, the Barn.
With that said, I again share these prophetic actions that the Lord has given me in the last month also, that I believe relates to what He has spoken through you.

Be blessed, Liz, as you remain faithful to hear, see, and to boldly speak!

The Overflow - Now Think On This by Steve Martin
The Overflow
“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For behold, darkness will cover the earth and deep darkness the peoples; but the Lord will rise upon you and His glory will appear upon you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” (Isaiah 60:1-3, NASU)
Many in the prophetic realm who have been part of congregations where this gift of the Holy Spirit is received and treasured have been hearing in the last decades of how stadiums will be filled with believer gatherings in these last days of revival. I certainly have heard this proclaimed. Men like Paul Cain, Bob Jones, and others, whom I highly respected, and heard personally several times before they went on to glorious rewards, spoke of that which the Lord Jesus said was coming, through His Holy Spirit.
And it is coming.
Even as Isaiah prophesied in his words to Israel and the Jews (quoted above) and repeated by Yeshua during His walk on the earth in the Promised Land, again to the Jews, I believe this promise is also given to those who have been grafted into the olive tree, the believing Gentile Body of Christ. Together in our days, the One New Man is beginning to truly operate, to complete the eternal plans and purpose of our Father God, His Son Jesus, through the work of the third part of the God-head Trinity, the Holy Spirit.
The glory of the Lord will rise upon us. His glory will appear upon us. Nations are coming to the light He is causing to shine through us. That will include kings, presidents, and leaders in high positions.
Though the darkness abounds, even deep darkness, the people of God – both Jews and Gentiles who are created as the Body of the Lord here on earth – will have His light shine through us in that very darkness.
Because of this light, the Light of the World, the same light residing in the spirits of believing men and women through His Holy Spirit, in addition through the children of all ages following His commands, the nations are coming. They are being drawn to His power.
Yes, the nations are coming.
Are we ready?
Recently during our weekly staff meeting of Antioch International Church in Fort Mill, South Carolina, USA, during our regular time of prayer to start the week, the Lord gave me the word “overflow”. I knew what He was talking about when I heard the word in my mind. I then spoke it out loud as a proclamation of faith. We were needing one of the large rooms, 23,000 square feet, for the “overflow” that was coming.
The overall large complex, known as The River Place, is 103,000 total square feet space, housing three main event/gathering place buildings, and is still in the process of being completely renovated. Our plan is to further restore that which was lost decades ago, for the purposes now in use, including that as an event venue location for all types of organizations.
While this may certainly, and is, occurring, I felt the Lord was saying more specifically, that one particular space, known as the Studio, will be more for use for “overflow” than for these outside client rental events. A primary purpose will be to hold the overflow of the spiritual gatherings coming to the main building, known as The Barn, due to the vastness of the numbers of people.

The nations are coming. They are coming to the light. And we, among other places where He is preparing for this mighty outpouring of His Holy Spirit, have the Light of the World in our midst. His Name is Jesus. He is revealing Himself in glory and power, and taking back that which was lost, stolen, and completely dead.
The overflow spaces - all around in the nations too - will be needed. Because they will be filled with hurting, lost, poor, people “in need of everything”, we must be diligent today in preparing them for such a time as that which is coming.
NO LONGER WILL IT BE THOSE SPOKEN WORDS OF THE PAST, WHEN IT HAS PREVIOUSLY BEEN SAID “DECADES DOWN THE ROAD” WILL THIS OCCUR. NO LONGER WILL IT JUST BE SAID, “O, MY KIDS WILL SEE THIS MOVE OF THE LORD.”
It is now. You, they and I will see this work of the Lord. NOW is the time to get ready for the masses to come. Now is the time, not only for the Jews to be returning to Israel in masses, in aliyah, but also for the people within the nations of the world to finally come to Jesus in huge numbers.
Get yourselves ready for the overflow. Get your gathering buildings ready for the overflow. Get connected, dedicated, and with more resolve in your heart to be a part of what the Lord is doing and is certainly going to be increasing in His wonderful, creative doings.
The overflow is coming. It is just around the corner.
Get ready.
"Arise, shine; for your light has come,
And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
For behold, darkness will cover the earth
And deep darkness the peoples;
But the Lord will rise upon you
And His glory will appear upon you.
Nations will come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your rising.
Lift up your eyes round about and see;
They all gather together, they come to you.
Your sons will come from afar,
And your daughters will be carried in the arms.
Then you will see and be radiant,
And your heart will thrill and rejoice;
Because the abundance of the sea will be turned to you,
The wealth of the nations will come to you.”
(Isaiah 60:-5, NASU)
Shalom and ahava (peace and love in Hebrew).

Look What the Lord Has Done! 24 years ago on April 4, 1995 - Now Think On This by Steve Martin
Tom Fahey (guitar) and Steve Martin (tambourine) - 1993
Look What the Lord Has Done!
- 24 years ago on April 4, 1995
Steve Martin
"Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from each tribe, and command them, saying, 'Take up for yourselves twelve stones from here out of the middle of the Jordan, from the place where the priests' feet are standing firm, and carry them over with you and lay them down in the lodging place where you will lodge tonight.'"
So Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the sons of Israel, one man from each tribe; and Joshua said to them, "Cross again to the ark of the Lord your God into the middle of the Jordan, and each of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel. "Let this be a sign among you, so that when your children ask later, saying, 'What do these stones mean to you?' then you shall say to them, 'Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the Lord; when it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off.'
So these stones shall become a memorial to the sons of Israel forever." (Joshua 4:2-7, NASU)
Many of you know that the Lord encourages us to always look forward, to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and where He is going. Paul says that in Philippians 3:13-14, "Brethren, I do not regard myself as having laid hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."(NASU)
And yet he later says in the next chapter, "Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things. The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you." (Philippians 4:8-9, NASU)
So do we look back, as Joshua encouraged, or do we look forward, from what Paul instructed?
Can we say, "Look what the Lord has done!" in our lives, and believe Him for the future yet to come?
Imagine my surprise when I looked on my personal Facebook page on April 4, 2019 and saw that they had uploaded a photo from April 4, 1995, as part of their "See Your Memories" feature. It was a capture in time of my good friend Tom Fahey and I leading worship at a conference for Mahesh Chavda Ministries (All Nations Church) in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. From 24 years ago this month.
In 2013 I had posted it on Facebook, noting that Tom and I were once again leading others into the worship of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, as members of our Ahava Love Band. At that time, it had been quite a while, 18 years, since we had played and sang together on a worship team. We also were members of Antioch International Church in Fort Mill, South Carolina, on the same Heritage USA former property, during that time, where we were united in worship leading, in that same time frame.
What really caught my attention in regard to this “See Your Memories” post was the message I wrote along with the photo in 2013, noting that it possibly could have been from the time we also led worship at a conference on the former Heritage USA/PTL property 1995. And then to see that it may have been in The Barn on that property, the large venue which Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker had built in the early 1980s, using it as a spiritual well for 1500 people, gathered to sing and give praise to our Lord every Friday night.
I know it well. Laurie and I were there a few times for those large gatherings, along with my Mom and Dad. We were living in Michigan back then and they in Iowa, between 1985-1987. We each had contributed for Lifetime Memberships and were making use of them.
So what is the big deal? And what is The Barn?
I have been writing in the last few months as to how the Lord is restoring His people - both for the Jews making Aliyah (returning) to Israel after centuries, and the Body of Christ coming back together, to be a mighty force in these last days. Both re-groupings are the fulfillment of prophecy, and the outworking of His plans and purposes for us and the nations.
Open eyes can see much of this happening now. Open hearts can experience it even more.
Back to the future - my good wife Laurie and I returned to The Barn in May 2018, as we rejoined our friends, our spiritual family, once again at Antioch International Church, who are the main occupants of the large facility, since their move there five years ago in April of 2014. Then in February 2019 Laurie and I once again were singing on that very same platform as part of the worship team. The very same place from where we had helped lead worship 24 years ago, along with Tom and several others. Sometimes I find it hard to believe.
In my heart, that moment was, and is, very special.
Does the Lord want us to look back? In many cases, I would certainly answer, "No." No to those things which have caused hurt, shame, loss of hope, loss of life (natural and spiritual), and more. He wants us to forgive, forget, and move on.
On the other hand, (recall Tevye in "Fiddler on the Roof", when he was contemplating the situation, speaking, "On the one hand...on the other hand...") I know the Lord wants us to recall some of the former things, for it brings us renewed hope, vision, and ability to see His promises fulfilled, showing His ongoing, never-stopping faithfulness.
He commanded Joshua to take stones from the river bed (see verses above) and build an altar on the other side, after crossing over. This was to be done in remembrance of His miraculous acts. It was to be able later to tell their children, "Look what the Lord has done!"
The Lord Jesus Christ, seated on the throne next to His Father God, along with the Holy Spirit, are moving in our land, and in the nation of Israel. They together are restoring the old wells of life, returing people to the places of their inheritance, and bringing hope and renewal into the hearts of their people, Jews and Gentiles, the One New Man.
Even today I was watching the Jim Bakker Show online, as I often do, speaking about our Jewish roots. Jim was showing these photos from Heritage USA, which I share here.

There are more than seven ministries on the former Heritage USA property now. Each of the following has come and restored much of that which was lost, dead and buried. And now resurrected.
We need to give thanks to these, among others unnamed:
1. Rick Joyner at Morningstar - the Grand Hotel, Tower, and Administration building (approx. 2003)
2. Mahesh and Bonnie Chavda at All Nations Church - Fort Hope (26 acres across the railroad tracks, purchased and restored since 2000)
3. Dr. Peter Wyns, Jesse Enn, Matt Wyns at Christians For Messiah Ministries and Antioch International Church (The River Place complex) - The Barn, the Studio (since 2014)
4. Russell James - the Upper Room (2015)
5. Lathan Wood at The Movement - the Heritage warehouse and admin building (2016)
6. Todd Bentley with the Secret Place Church - Heritage storage (2016)
7. Jorge Parrott - CMM worldwide missions ministry - located in The Barn office building
These and all those on their staffs and volunteer teams have been used by the Lord to bring restoration in both the natural and the spiritual.

Back then, in the 1980s and 1990s, we were singing the song, "Look What the Lord Has Done!" (made popular by Karen Wheaton and Lindell Cooley.) We are singing it again!
After all, the Lord never changes. He is always giving us reason to sing and shout His praises!
After all, the Lord never changes. He is always giving us reason to sing and shout His praises!
I can give high praise today to the Lord and say to others, "Look what the Lord has done!" as I look back on these past 24 years. I see what the Almighty God of Israel has done in our lives. I see what He has done, and continues to do, in the lives of believers, here on the former Heritage USA property, in Israel, and in all the nations.
I trust you can say that too, once you consider His love and actions He has done for yourself.
