THE STAFF AND THE SWORD MINISTRY
JULY 20, 1987
THE BURDENS BASKET As the Lord leads us to minister the REAL SEALING we are first led to have all 'burdens, concerns, needs, wants, desires' written down on paper, put into the 'Burdens Basket" then we join in prayer and lift up the basket to Jesus praying to 'Cast all our cares on Him, and to take up His yoke`. This Jesus showed us to do before we left on this foundations work and Sealing trip. Next Nancy-TONI prays for each person that the 'soulish infirmities' or things that hinder our walk with Jesus be removed. Lastly we extend the REAL SEALING. Today, with the Holy Spirit Insight of "NO ROOM AT THE INN(of our hearts)', it is obvious that Jesus is leading us to give-up to Him our burdens that we in turn may receive more of Jesus Christ and His Love. It is become obvious that what prevents us from entering into a deeper more real living relationship with Jesus are the things that burden us, that FILL up our hearts to where we cannot receive Him or His Loving Help or His Perfect Will for us. This order of things is central to the REAL SEALING and back in 1982 the 'Burdens Basket' and prayer for "Soulish Infirmities" was NOT part of the Sealing then --it is today. Why? Over the years Jesus made it clear that this work He sent me to do, would NOT be completed apart from ( Nancy-TONI). Nancy-TONI was not present in 1982 except by "Spirit", today she is present in body and Spirit. Thus this work can move to completion. The "Burdens Basket" in itself brings to our attention that there are many things that take our focus away from JESUS. There are many things that fill our hearts, have our focus, that can fill us up to the point to where there is NO ROOM IN US for JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF. JESUS CHRIST SECOND COMING In the years I was a closet intercessor()969 to 1976) Jesus showed me thru the Bible how that men 2,000 years ago had a 'view of how He would come' based on the Bible; but that when He DID COME, these learned men, Priests and scholars, had NO capacity to recognize Him tho it was evident and obvious who He was, the Messiah, the Living Son of God. Why? Mens hearts were filled up! Owing to mans fallen nature, owing to the truth of the Bible, no man can have more than a PARTIAL UNDERSTANDING of Gods Word. Thus we NEED be led by the Spirit of God, live by Faith and Trust in Christ to show us the way we ought go. But again, the men of that time 2,000 years ago had their focus on what they understood -also on what they wanted -- their hearts were filled up, there was NO ROOM IN THEIR HEARTS for the Messiah Jesus Christ, thus they could NOT receive Him and could only reject Him. When Jesus drew me out of my prayer closet in 1976 and brought me into the Church's it was obvious to me after a time that men were no different today than they were 2,000 years ago. I heard and read of how Jesus would come again as men taught, they quoted the Bible but inwardly I KNEW that what they understood was only PARTIAL, thus faulted. After a time I came to realize that JESUS SECOND COMING would be like JESUS FIRST COMING. Thus when JESUS COMES AGAIN men would not recognize it, they would be blinded by their over focus on what they understand(which is partial-imperfect). And just as with Jesus First Coming, now in Jesus Second Coming, the scriptures would be fulfilled right before their eyes and they would do no less than was done 2,000 years before --reject and hate Him, seeking to kill Him all over again. The very ones who would seek to resist Jesus Second Coming are the very ones who make up the bulk of the Church leadership today. When back in 1985 Jesus plainly told me that the 95% of Church leaders who rejected Him preferred Satan as Messiah over Him -- I understood that these preferred 'mans ways' over and against Gods Ways.
