Ezra 9: 8 - And now for a little space grace hath been shewed from the Lord our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in his holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.
Revelation 3: 2 - Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die; for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

Revelation 3: 11 - Behold, I come quickly; hold that fast which thou hast, that no man take thy crown.

America, America!

Oh, how these scriptures speak volumes of our "America" in this day. Again, as has happened already so many times in the course of writing for these sites - I taught all of these scriptures in such great depth back in my teaching days - with no foresight of their relativity to our wonderful America, now in this day, today!

The settings in these particular portions of the Bible (scriptures above and to the right) truly do apply to our America in 2008! All of the emotions that ran so deep, for those who remembered the former glory in these historical situations, are so parallel to those of us who actually hold dear a recollection of a certain America.

Today, America is a much different country, heading down a much different road. The great standards which made us so attractive are seemingly, now, crumbling and falling to the ground. There is a new weaving going on amongst us. The very wool that's been pulled over our eyes, is the wool that is preparing for us, here in this country, a brand new garment with which to cloak ourselves. And where were we while this new pattern was being selected and new foundations were being laid here for us, in our very own nation? Where were we? I can tell you with a vision that the Lord gave me back in the summer of 2007:


Vision:

I was standing at a distance in front of a cabin on a wooded lot. The Lord directed my eyes to the front porch which extended the length of the house. There, He pointed out to me, two dogs - the likes of the dog on the Hee Haw Show (from years ago). The two dogs were sleeping.

Off to the right of them was a very large bowl which served as a feeder for the two. As we all know, dogs are very protective of their food! I looked up to see a person sneaking up the front steps, taking great effort not to be heard. The intention was to steal the bowl, of course.

As the thief approached closer and closer and was then just short of being able to grab the dish, the dogs opened their heavy eyelids, just long enough to allow one to know that they were not sleeping. Their eyelids closed once again. The culprit continued forward and when no response at all came from the vicious guards, the spoil was seized and the bandit slipped away from the porch; bowl in hand. I could see that the "at ease" fellows had "chosen" to allow their possession to be stolen. They made no attempts to protect it.


In the fall of 2007, I learned of a new major moral law being slipped through our judiciary system in my home state of Iowa. This law would change the entire course and direction of our land. Following a series of dreams early on the morning after the passing of the bill in Iowa, I began immediately via phone and after the leading of the Lord to approach Iowa pastors; where I myself, in the past, had also been a pastor. My calls, of course, to learn the plans of the pastors, regarding this newly revised law.

At that time and over the course of several visits to Iowa in relationship to this matter of concern, I very quickly and sadly learned of a great lack of awareness and/or sensitivity to what God had awakened me from a deep sleep to reveal to me, as something of a great passion in His mind and heart. Please, do not misunderstand; this was not the situation among clergy alone but among everyone I spoke to in Iowa. I learned that very few people were informed, in any way, of this major change in law!

My heart immediately pained me and I was set aback to think what God's heart must be feeling. At that time the Holy Spirit began to bring to my remembrance puzzling visions that He had shared with me over the past five years. It was then that the appointment for this vision of the immobile canines, was finally revealed to me.

Oh, yes, I believe that many of us see that things are being done in a truly new fashion in our nation. Changes are being executed before us that we know full well will bring about a ruin to us, our children, our grandchildren and onto who knows how many generations thereafter.

I believe that we know the right course for mankind. I also despairingly believe that we have chosen to close our eyes, pretending to be asleep, in an attempt to escape what we know would be the appropriate actions of mature, full-grown, overseers! (It was then that I began to understand the extent of God's focus on the New Testament Priesthood, as He was giving revelation for the book that He mandated me to write in 2004.)

Ephesians 4: 11, 13 - And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting (maturing) of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ; till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect (mature) man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ; that we henceforth be no long children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; but speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ;

Upon my return home from my first actual visit to Iowa, where I attended a rally for awareness regarding this bill (hosted by Iowa Family Policy Center, along with a few concerned area pastors who had formed a coalition in efforts to arouse awareness, as well as to mobilize a core who would be willing to learn options for recourse action), I received this vision as I entered the door of my home; heavy with intercession over what I had just left behind in Iowa:


Vision:

I was standing on a road. The skies were dark gray. I looked ahead to see a "crossroad". There on the right hand corner, stood a mass of little children. Their faces were placid! Everything was pictured in gray and black; even the very atmosphere itself. The children's hands hung limp at their sides. It was as though they were frozen in time. I looked up , by the Spirit, to see the street sign on the opposite corner. It was marked with that days date. I looked beneath the sign, at a sight that left me cold, beyond descriptive words. There on that corner, stood masses of elderly men - men from "this day". I then heard voices coming from the children behind me. They were still in that frozen posture, their mouths not moving. The air however, was filled with their emotional cries! I heard voices weeping, crying out repetitiously, ongoing with no interruption, "Why? Why? Why? Why didn't they do something? Didn't they care about us? Why? Why didn't they act? Why didn't they say something on our behalf? Where was their fatherly protection over us? Look at us now! And they're not here to help!"

(It is a wonder to see by the Spirit of God. However, what we see, is not always something that we would invite. Truth, as difficult as it may be, sets us free - no matter what that truth may be!)


I, and many others along with me, today are like those in Isaiah 64: 11; weeping in intercession over "burnt ruins".

God has placed intense callings upon many of His people in this nation. I was exposed to such ministries one year ago (2007) through a divine leading which placed me in Virginia Beach for the 400th Commemorative Celebration of this nations' beginnings. I had to go and see what this was all about, as much of the advertisement for the event identically matched things I'd seen when writing the book "Manifesto-Before the Cock Crows (2004) by revelation of the Lord.

God has raised up in this day - charged ones - by His own Spirit; to trumpet an admonition in our land.

I have carried within myself, by the Spirit of God (since 1979), a great burden for this nation and the world at large. I have song after song, teaching upon teaching, prophecy and yet even more prophecy, speaking directly to this hour - yet having come from One in a time, who knew this time long before it's now arrival.

I am enthralled at the powerful, passionate, fiery, called out missions/missionaries that I see traversing this land! They are presently - sweeping the nation and it's peoples with the same urgent message that swept over them - and demanded nothing short of the response that each one of them now displays in their open, moving, ministries !

The Bible speaks of a people who would tremble at His word. I gave way to the illusion that I'd experienced that in my life in the past. Today and every day since my experience in 2004, proves to me that I was wrong. Now, I know the trembling over the Word of God. Sometimes it seems more than my physical body and mind lend capacity to properly serve.

Isaiah 66: 5 - Hear the word of the Lord, ye that tremble at his word;...

God speaks a very, very strong message to the nation(s) - now - at this very specific time! This, in His words to me in 2004, is a "monumental moment in the history of mankind"! (See word of the Lord - 2004 - for the nations: izzyherald.blogspot.com)

I pray that we will all have an ear to hear what the Spirit has to say!

We have seen good times in this nation. What constitutes a guarantee that those times will remain with us? Our privilege to prosperous times, has come by way of others' lives, sacrificed unto the standard of good, right, Godly and wise choices!

God is reaching down, cautioning us to stop and reflect; to truly take an account; to evaluate our steps at this monumental moment in time. Things will go accordingly. Our days will be spent in the midst of the outcome of our deliberations. What will it be? What will the consensus conclude; for us all?


Admonish: To reprimand mildly, or warn of a fault; caution. To counsel against an anticipated error. To give solemn instruction; guide.

Admonition: A mild reproof; warning counsel; reprimand. Warning, caution.


Understand that all of the bad in our land, including natural disasters, poverty, sickness and disease, is not coming from God, as a punishment for our wrong choices or our sin. NO!
The truth that man doesn't comprehend about God, is that God gave man dominion. God gave the instructions that would cause things to work together for our good. He gave those instructions to mankind. At such time as those instructions are ignored, everything changes. Man is responsible for all outcome - not God. And Satan deceives man and turns him against God with erroneous conceptions about God.

Here's what the Lord spoke to me:

God gets blamed for everything that goes wrong
Hardly ever gets credit for anything that goes right
And for not existing at all - that's some track record!

In all things shared on these sites, I come only with what I know, by the Spirit of God revealing. I would not be alerted of these things on my own. I know God's intention through all divine revelation to be one of advancement and not condemnation. The words that I share with you here, are in His words to me: "A ring for the Body of Christ today; unto the bringing about of a great cloud of Glory, to possibly be witnessed and experienced, amongst us all!"


In Him,

Izzy Herriette & Co/Ginger Renken
In speaking with many Iowans, recently, regarding law making issues there, I learned that the mindset amongst us today, could easily lean towards that of: These are just signs of the times and there's nothing that we can do to combat what things are coming.

This may very well be the case! Is it 'that time' that we read of in scriptures in Matthew 24? Or is it a time, like those that we read of in the scriptures - where nations went awry for a season?


Luke 19: 13 - And he called his ten servants, and delivered unto them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come.

This illustration, was one that Jesus gave to the people who, as that scripture particularly refers (vs. 11) -... he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear.

Here we see a people who truly thought a certain way about the timing of the kingdom of God, and Jesus instructed them only: 'Occupy till I come.'

Is His appearing drawing nigh? We are to be watching the signs set out before us in scriptures, that would tell us that we are getting close.

Even if we are on the threshold of that Glorious, long awaited event (which by the way, many signs are pointing to that as being a true possibility), what do we do in the meantime? Sit back and just watch things 'fall'? What if we do that now and we're not really at 'that time'?


In the writing of the book in 2004 (Manifesto - Before The Cock Crows), this was one of the very prevailing attitudes that the Lord forewarned of, for the days coming. He said that men would choose to do nothing, due to idea that the time is close for the return of Jesus and that these are just those 'wicked days' that Matthew 24 speaks of.

If we look at Matthew 24, though, I could share with you what the Lord revealed as an answer, for all of us. It's basically the same as what we read in Luke 19:

Matthew 24: 42-45 - Watch, therefore; for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready, for in such a time as ye think not the Son of man cometh.

We are, according to scripture, always to be abounding in good works, upholding righteousness, strengthening ourselves unto those works and living them out with whole hearted devotion, especially for/before those up and coming generations.

(Generation! Yet another subject all its' own, which I will share some God given enlightenment on, at a later time.
Take a look at the Genesis 1 picture on the main page of the Izzy Herreitte & Co site, for the time being.)


1 Corinthians 15: 58 - Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Isaiah 35: 3,4 - Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not; behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you.

The instruction is and always has been the same: Occupy till He comes! Continue to be led by the Spirit of God and by the wisdom of God that comes from His Word.


How much sharper we need to be now, in our hearing and doing! A 'generation' depends upon it. And I'm not speaking of that generation in terms of years and/or ages. I'm speaking of it in terms of: a 'kind'!

So, do all that you do now, out of a steadfastness for that 'kind'! Please! Continue strong, therein!

Can we change the signs? Create new?

Can we change the signs?  Create new?
Nehemiah 4: 2 - And he spake before his brethren and the army of Samaria and said, What do these feeble Jews? will they fortify themselves? will they sacrifice? Will they make an end in a day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish which are burned?

Could there still be windows of time for change?

Could there still be windows of time for change?
Psalm 18: 2 - The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Psalm 107: 20 - He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

Psalm 91: 14 - Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

Are there still roads for amendment?

Are there still roads for amendment?
Nehemiah 1: 3,4 - And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire. And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven.

Nehemiah 2: 2 - Wherefore the king said unto me, Why is thy countenance sad, seeing thou are not sick? this is nothing else but sorrow of heart...

Nehemiah 2: 3 - And said unto the king, Let the king live for ever; why should not my countenance be sad, when the city, the place of my fathers sepulchres, lieth waste, and the gates thereof are consumed with fire?

Nehemiah 2: 4, 5 - Then the king said unto me, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed to the God of heaven. And I said unto the King, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou woudest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my father's sepulchres, that I may build it.

Nehemiah 2: 6-8 - and the king said unto me, (the queen also sitting by him,) For how long shall thy journey be? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased the king to send me; and I set him a time. Moreover I said unto the king, If it please the king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond the river, that they may convey me over till I come into Judah. And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the palace which appertained to the house, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall enter into. And thee king granted me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.

The courts of our land vs. the court of Heaven.

The courts of our land vs. the court of Heaven.
Much of what makes for our building, takes place in those judicial courts - Supreme Courts. We the people, in this nation, should have a say in the determinations made within those corridors.

What do we the people of this nation have to say these days? Are we exercising our given rights? Are we having 'sway'? If we sit back, folding our hands and shaking our heads, we have no right to complain at what rules our lives.

The courts in our land appear far more complicated than in time past. Laws are now passed that we the people don't seem to have the right to vote for/against. What truly are our rights?


Once again, in writing the book, the Lord awakened me ten days in a row at precisely 3:00 A.M. each of those days, September 2 through September 12, 2004. During that time, He poured out divine insights to me. Of those insights, these were first:

Psalm 82 - 87 - These chapters dealing with the foundations of the earth being out of course (Psalm 82: Living Bible); God presiding over heaven's court; God pronouncing judgment on the judges of the land; God questioning how long these judges will continue to hand down unjust decisions; how long will judges shower special favors on the wicked?' (Psalm 82: Living Bible).

You can read through those chapters to learn the entire message. (This information came with an intense power from the Holy Spirit of God. I've not experienced the likes of, any time prior. This was severe! A direct warning from the Lord. [And I'm sharing minimal, here, from the volume of the book!])


Is there time and opportunity for us to turn things around, to change the tide, so to speak?

We can appeal to the Supreme Court of Heaven for help. And I happen to know that this is the place from which our best and greatest help will come!


Will you be an active part of the appeals? By your prayers of intercession, you can be!

Pillars In Construction:

Pillars In Construction:
2 Chronicles 3: 17 - And he reared up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.

1) Jachin: (Hebrew) - "He will establish" - 1) the 4th son of Simeon and founder of the family of Jachinites 2) a priest and the head of the 21st course in the time of David 3) a post-exilic priest in the time of Nehemiah

also, prepare, establish, ready, stablish, provide, right, fixed, set, direct, order, fashion, certain, certain, confirmed, firm, preparation 1) to be set up, be established, securely determined 2) to be directed aright, fixed aright (moral sense) 3) direct toward (moral sense), to arrange, order, be restored


(This, in light of what I shared above - regarding the priesthood of our day? This pillar, which upheld the building, was representative of the priesthood supplied for the building up of, this particular kind/generation.)


2) Boaz: (Hebrew) - "fleetness" 1) ancestor of David, kinsman-redeemer to Ruth, daughter-in-law of Naomi 2) name of the left of two brazen pillars, erected in the porch of Solomon's temple

(Fleet: Is part of a tremendous vision in the book: [I'll state it in short] - a continual line of strength and powers appointed for the keeping of a succession, in this case a 'kind', even/especially in the event that interruption should dare press rank; at such time necessitating saids' action - immediate, all out, preauthorized, prearranged, swift to execute appropriate response! [Once again, speaking of the influences to sustain this generation/fleet.])

(The 'redemptive' factor - a door, window; repentant; in need of help or another chance? [And of course, the redemptive power of salvation extended to us, only by way of the cross of Jesus Christ, the Son of God and one's faith therein.])

(Kinsmen redeemer: [Another part of the book.] The wooden shoe forms I've displayed on the sites, hanging from umbrella and fence, could be connected to the kinsmen redeemer. This kind or generation, needs the kinsmen [priest] to redeem it - all kinsmen partaking in that endeavor today by teaching that will bring about a re-formation!)

Ruth 4: 7 - Now this was the manner in former time in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things; a man plucked off his shoe, and gave it to his neighbour; and this was a testimony in Israel. Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, But it for thee. So he drew off his shoe.

also, "in him is strength"

(1) a kinsman of Ruth, afterwards her second husband

(His strength [kinsmen redeemer] was strong enough [legal] to deliver, bring back, place in an upright, blessed position; a second time. This is what's called for in this day, and of course, it applies to the redemptive work of the Cross of Calvary on any day, as well.)


There are some noteworthy similarities between these pillars and our position as people before the living God today:

In our building, whether it be our personal lives, family, business, government, society or in any other area, God wants us to be established. He provides all the ways and means to make that possible for us. The number of promises written down in the Word of God, confirming that fact, are too numerous to display here, on this page.
