Prophetic word for today (p.i.)
Provoked

The tree points to believers bearing the cross, believers who operate in the anointing of the Lord and are as oaks of righteousness in the planting of the Lord. This is the reason why brother Rubie goes to the tree to get (anointing) oil.

"1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified." (Isaiah 61:1-3)

These "tree" believers operate in the fullness of the anointing, meaning that they also operate in the "dark side" of the anointing, the side that calls us to suffer and die for the sake of others. That is the reason why the tree in the dream is stoned, just as Stephen was stoned (Acts 7:54-60). The latter part of 2006, especially December, has been a "season of stonings" for God's remnant. Through these stonings, however, God's vindicating power operations are being fully released.

God has placed His remnant in vulnerable circumstances in which they have drawn the vicious attack of the enemy. The enemy has fallen for God's trap, thereby provoking God to bring a prompt reply.

Shortly before I read this email, I was saying to the Lord, "Lord, I am tired; my strength is slowly draining away. I feel like a clock whose hands are about to grind to a halt". Therefore, I was surprised to read the words "power [is] running low" at the start of the dream's narration. It was God saying,

"I am about to release My vindicating power, and through the destruction that I shall cause, you shall regain strength, for I shall destroy the spiritual entities that are draining your strength"

My heart awaits your vindication, oh Lord. My heart lies in wait, for my strength is running low, and my heart melts in weary sadness inside of me.

This word was sent (and is being posted) on December 23, 2006, exactly one year after December 23, 2005, the date when God's patience ran out on America, the date in which America sealed her 4-year revival delay, the date in which God ordered the removal of the Ark of the Covenant from America, clearing the path for a devastating series of judgments.

The goat that appears in the dream is spiritually related to the stubborn American "goat" mentioned in a previous word. It also points to the "scapegoat" of Leviticus 16:8-10 that draws unto himself the ire directed at others in order to release redemption into their lives.

Two or three days before reading this email, as I was walking down the street, the Lord (out of nowhere) got me to thinking about the story of the "egg person" that fell off a tree. I kept asking myself, "What's that egg's name? What's that egg's name?" A couple of hours later that same day, as I was listening to a programme on BBC Radio 4, someone casually mentioned "Humpty Dumpty", and, I said, "Thank you, Lord; thank you for your reply". It is only until now that I remember this. It is no spiritual coincidence that brother Rubie's dream mentions eggs falling off a nest. America, in its current state,  is a Humpty Dumpty, and all the king's horses and all the king's men will not be able to put it together again. This will allow for the rise of a new America that shall see the glory of the True King. A Church that sits on the wall, halfway between man's matriarchal paradigms and God's male spirit nature (Exodus 15:3) cannot see the glory of God.

This word is a spiritual continuation of the two words posted on xmas 2005.
