Open
Heavens Prophetic Conference, Jerusalem
In December 2007, Sadhu Sundar
Selvaraj was sent by the Lord to fast and pray in Jerusalem.
He stayed in Pastor Shelley's apartment, where he had many
heavenly visitors giving him details for a
prophetic conference the Lord wanted him to host in
Jerusalem.
This
powerful conference was just held June 6-10 with speakers
who minister under an open heaven. They were
Sadhu Sundar Selvaraj, Neville Johnson, Paul Keith Davis, Steven L.
Shelley and Steven Brooks.
The Lord told Sadhu that He would be present in the
conference as the Lion of Judah and that He would
roar from Zion and utter His Voice to the end of the earth
as we would intercede on behalf of
Israel.
Sadhu
was told that
the princes of darkness are seeking to entrench in the
ground of Israel. The enemy proposes to sprout untruth and
evil from the Land. It's not an ordinary fight for
land. The politicians are planning to give up Jerusalem before
the end of the year. The Lord called us to Jerusalem
to uproot and purify the Land with
intercession and proclamations.
Sadhu was instructed by the Lord that we were all
to remove our shoes before entering the tent
because it would be holy ground for the Holy One of Israel
to visit. High-ranking angels would come, carrying
the Presence of the Holy God.
There
were more than 400 people from many different nations worshipping
the Lord in a tent on the Mount of Olives with songs
that were only to and about Him. It was truly an
awesome experience!
Night
Visitation of Three Biblical Priests
Pastor Shelley had a
wonderful divine experience in his bedroom on
the third night of the conference while his wife was
sleeping. Paul Keith and Wanda Davis stayed in Pastor
Shelley's apartment during the conference, although Paul Keith only
arrived on this night after speaking in a conference
in England. Pastor Shelley shares about his
experience:
During the first night that Paul
Keith was spending the night in our apartment, I was
awakened in the night with
conversation. And it sounded like it was
coming from Paul Keith and Wanda’s room.
I got really awake, and I got
really worried. I
thought, “Oh no, their bed’s not comfortable. Maybe they can’t sleep, or
they need water.”
I was just about
to get up to go see what they needed when all of a sudden
this unbelievable Presence of God filled the bedroom where
I’ve met with the Lord many times. And it was so powerful
and so beautiful that it changed the whole atmosphere of the
room.
And I had a
physical feeling, like my hair standing up at
attention. Then, in the spirit
realm, three handsome Biblical-looking priests walked
right into the bedroom and stood at the foot of the
bed. I started
tearing up and began to worship the Lord. I knew this was a
visitation.
They were
dressed in priestly garments like from the priesthood of the Old
Testament. It was the first time I’ve ever seen anything like
that, except on the Day of Atonement when I saw the High Priest
changing garments. The
one in the center seemed to be older than the other two, but all had gray beards and gray
hair.
They said to me,
“We’ve come to bless
you.”
And I said,
“Wonderful. I need to
be blessed. Who sent you?”
They said,
“We have come from the Father of
Lights.”
Now the Scripture says that all good
and perfect gifts come from the Father of Lights so I recognized for
sure that if the Presence of God hadn’t confirmed that these
were holy messengers, then their answer certainly was the
confirmation.
Since I don’t know who they were, I’m
not going to say who they represent, but
it was very
real.
And all of a
sudden they just simply crossed their hands,
stretched them
out and
pronounced over us the Aaronic
blessing. And the Presence of the Lord
became so real that I truly felt like I had received a blessing from
heaven.
(Num 6:22) And the LORD spoke unto Moses,
saying,
(Num
6:23) Speak
unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless
the children of Israel, saying unto them,
(Num
6:24)
The LORD bless thee, and keep
thee:
(Num
6:25)
The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto
thee:
(Num
6:26)
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee
peace.
(Num
6:27)
And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and
I will bless them.
This Aaronic blessing is the
invoking of the Name of the Lord over the people of
God.
And what I
didn’t think about at the time was that this was
Shavuot (Pentecost). At sundown on Sunday
evening, Shavuot
began.
So about the time that these three
priests appeared in the realm of the spirit, many Jewish
people were on their way to the Kotel, the Western
Wall, to receive the blessing of the
priesthood, the
Kohanim.
They stay up all night long on
Shavuot, studying the Law of God. And then in the wee hours of
the morning, about three o’clock, they all start
walking to the Wall. It’s the
time of the year that they wear solid white from top to bottom -both
men and women.
And about that time is when these priests
appeared. It was so
special!
The next morning, Paul Keith and Wanda didn’t know
what had happened. But
I really believe they received the blessing of the priests
before they came to our room. The only difference was
that they slept through their blessing and I happened to wake
up and get mine.
From that point
on, the rest of the conference was different for me. My interaction with
the Presence of God was totally different. I felt completely plugged in
to the purposes of God over that
conference.
And every person
that we ministered to from that moment on received a
special impartation and gave testimony to
it. Even miraculous healings took place
because of the blessing of the Lord.
When God invokes His Name, when the Name
of God is invoked over you, everything about you
- body, soul, and spirit - is called to
attention. And
you are then living under the Name.
It is a blessing to be able to
live and minister out from the
Name.
[How
interesting and timely that the July 2nd edition of the
Jerusalem Post has an article entitled "Third Temple preparations begin with priestly
garb." It
relates that Jewish men who are descended from the Levites are being
measured for priestly garments to be made for them for use in the
Third Temple. Click

More To Come . . .
In the next
update I hope to share some highlights of the preaching
from this prophetic conference.
One of the
major intercessory concerns was that the enemy wanted to bring
about events in Israel that would cause the
Battle of Armageddon to begin before God's timing so that the Bride's revival and the harvests of
harvesters and souls could not take
place!
It is
time for intercession to be intensified!!!!!

amazing provider, and He uses your faithfulness and
generosity! Thank you so much for your prayers and
financial support!
I will arrive

SHALOM!
May you be blessed
