To be read the evening before Feast 2003 begins

By MariaMaria #632 CM/FM 3432 10/02

Dearest Family,

1. The Lord has prepared a very special opening for our time of feasting together this year. As we unite together, setting aside this time as sacred and dedicated to Him and His Words‚ He has sent three of our powerful helpers of the spirit to lead this opening meeting and to set the stage for what is to come! Close your eyes as you listen to this vision, and ask the Lord to help you see it in your mind's eye, so that you can really partake and grasp in the spirit what is happening. Without further ado, I turn the meeting over to our main speakers and those who will be leading the meeting, Natalia, Tola, and Tor.

2. (Vision: ) I see Natalia, but she's not alone—she's accompanied by Tola and Tor! The light they radiate is so bright! Natalia is more gorgeous than ever. Her arms are raised high in praise, and her beautiful hair is flowing around her body. She's dressed in the same gown that so nicely clings to her figure, but there's a difference this time. Her gown, though it's the same shape and style as before, looks like the same flowing liquid gold as Tola and Tor's bodies. The golden gown is so radiant that it looks like it's on fire, like white-hot molten gold in a furnace. It seems Natalia is filled with the same key power burning inside her as Tola and Tor, and it looks like her clothing is made of, or filled with, the same substance.

3. Tola and Tor are standing on either side of Natalia, and the three of them are emitting the most brilliant golden glow! What a trio! The impression I get is that they're turning up their power; it seems to be illuminating brighter than ever‚ as if it's welling up inside them.

4. There's another very awesome thing about Natalia: She's holding her hands up in praise, and in each hand she's holding a giant golden key! They're studded with diamonds and look ornate, much like the keys embedded in the chests of Tola and Tor. The keys Natalia is holding also look like they're edged in fire—similar to the keys turned to swords. You'd think they would burn her as she grips them in her hands, but they don't.

5. She's holding them high, as if she's very proud of them. She's holding them up to display them, like she's demonstrating victory—much like athletes do at the Olympics or world championships when they hold a trophy high above their heads in a victory pose. Natalia is holding these keys up, praising the Lord for victory!

6. Tola and Tor's hands are raised in praise‚ just like Natalia's. They're standing on either side of Natalia, and all three of them are looking upward with their arms lifted high in praise. They're praising the Lord in tongues. It sounds very authoritative, very commanding, but comforting and soothing too.

7. (Natalia speaking: ) I come to you, children of David, to once again lead you in praise and thanksgiving. Let this night be a time of praise, of thanksgiving, of dedication—of dedicating your time and yourselves in the days ahead, solely to the Master, Your Husband and King. Kick off this Feast season with heartfelt praise and prayer. Count your blessings and give thanks and praise to the King of kings for the strong power that is given you to command.

8. Count your blessings for all that the King has done for you‚ and sing praise for all He is yet to do for you and through you! Join in praise, dear mates, for it is in your praises tonight that you will bring down great blessing and anointing of the Almighty. According to your praise you will receive strength. According to your praise you will be established and settled. According to your praise you will be filled with the hot gold magic power of the keys! According to your praise your channels will be opened wide to liberally receive power and revelation in the days ahead. Open wide and receive! Let it begin with your praise‚ for it is through your praise that you will be made ready.

9. I have led you on various occasions in praise to our King. Tonight I come accompanied by Tola and Tor, who stand by my side. The three of us are here to carry out a special request from the King this night. Following after us are many helpers and spirit beings who join together to uphold you in prayer and to witness this milestone event.

10. Our Husband has asked that we, Natalia, Tola, and Tor, lay hands upon you, His chosen brides, to pray for you and anoint you in the power of the keys. When one of you is in need of healing‚ a change in your life, or the anointing for some new task, you call for the elders of the church, for the laying on of hands, the anointing of oil, and for intercessory prayer. So our Husband has sent us to lay hands upon you, His beloved brides, to pray for you, to anoint you with the firepower of the keys of the Kingdom which we carry, to pray that you will open wide and receive all that He has for you during these Feast days.

11. As you lay hands upon one another in prayer, so will we lay our hands upon you and anoint you this night with an extra surge of key force. With this extra boost of key power your receptivity will be enhanced‚ so that you might gain the maximum strength and benefit during this Feast time.

12. But first you must prime the pump through praise, dear ones, for through your praises you bring down the blessings of God! Through praise you make the connection with key power. Through your praise you bring on the anointing of the Almighty! It is through your praises to the King that you open yourselves up to receive the greatest surge of heavenly power. Lift your arms in praise! Sing His praise! Ring out His praise! Let your spirits be refreshed and your channels be opened wide!

13. Let us begin with praise to the King! I know there are more things in your lives to be thankful for than you can count—and I ask that you continually praise our mighty Provider for your abundant blessings on a daily basis. Now I would like to lead you in praise for a specific topic. But before we begin, I open the floor for a few minutes of praise to the King on any topic that comes to your mind. Call out your praises in short, concise phrases‚ in "popcorn style," as you call it. (Pause here for a few moments of praise.)

14. Praise You, wonderful Love, our Husband and Lover and King!

15. And now, dear Family, I want to lead you in praise and thanksgiving for the most awesome, the most powerful, the most priceless and treasured possession you will ever have. Join me in praise for the thing that He magnifies even above His Name. Shall we begin?

113. And now‚ dear Family, kneel before us, and let us lay our hands upon your heads.

Note: To make this little ceremony more meaningful, please kneel or sit on the floor in a comfortable position and lay hands on the Family members closest to you.

114. (Vision:) I see a gathering of about a dozen Family members. It looks like they're gathered together in the living room of their Home. They're sitting on couches in a circle—a typical devotions or united meeting.

115. It's awe-inspiring to see the spirit helpers so close. I feel them so close, as if I could reach out my hand and touch them. I have the sensation that I'm right there, right in the middle of it all, in the living room with these Family members.

116. It seems this is representative of all our Family Homes worldwide, because every single person in this living room represents a different nationality, from North, South, East, and West‚ all parts of the world. It's a Home of mixed nationalities. I get the impression it's significant, that it's representative of the entire Family.

117. Natalia, Tola, and Tor are hovering above us. These three look so big and powerful compared to everyone sitting here, and so very majestic. They're hovering over the Family and the room is illuminated with the same brilliant light. It looks like the core of the sun itself is in this room! It's magnificent!

118. Natalia, Tola, and Tor all take a position among the Family members seated here‚ spacing themselves in the midst of everyone. Now each Family member is kneeling down like they're getting ready to have prayer, as some of us do sometimes if we're having prayer and others gather around us to lay hands on us. Natalia, Tola, and Tor are laying their hands upon our heads. Natalia leads out in prayer, and she and Tola and Tor all take turns praying for the Family.

119. As they're laying hands on everyone and praying for them, there's a terrific surge of power flowing from their bodies into each Family member! It's like a tremendous electrical current passing through the bodies of Natalia, Tola and Tor, out their hands into the Family members. Each person they touch is just glowing with an aura of power, as if they had so much energy inside them that it's emanating from every pore!

120. I can see it running through each Family member beside me. They're receiving this tremendous charge of power! The liquid gold is being infused into them. Each one has a soothing, sweet smile on their face, as if this power really feels good. It seems invigorating, and it's recharging them. It seems to be giving them peace and calm‚ but it's also very charged with high-voltage power. They are loving it! It gives them lots of pleasure. Everyone looks electrified‚ and yet they're so peaceful; they're so happy and look extremely content.

121. (Natalia continues in prayer:) We—Natalia, Tola, and Tor—call on the power of the keys of the Kingdom! We thank You‚ dear Love, our Husband, our Provider, our Miracle Worker, our King, for the awesome firepower that You have put within us. We thank You that this same mighty power that brings destruction to the enemies of God also brings light and life, strength‚ power, energy and fortitude to Your brides. This same power that conquers all evil also charges Your brides with strength and stamina and all that is needed to do Your will.

122. We thank You, our mighty Lord, that the keys and the Word are one. We lay our hands upon these, the children of David, Your faithful, Your brides‚ Your called-out ones in the Time of the End—these whom all the prophets of all ages look to; these who are little and weak, who are nothing in themselves‚ but who are everything in Your sight; these who are destined to fulfill Your sovereign will of establishing Your Kingdom on Earth! We lay hands upon these to whom You have given the keys of the Kingdom, these who are destined to defy Satan and his dark kingdom, these whom You will empower to defeat evil, these who are Your chosen ones of the Last Days.

123. In obedience to Your command, dear King, we lay hands on these as we call on the keys of the Kingdom. By the authority vested in us, we pass the firepower of the keys to them, in the name of the keys of anointing and of strength and power; in the name of the keys of rejuvenation, of revelation, of wisdom, of insight, and of miracles; in the name of the keys of receptivity we infuse these with an extra surge of key power!

124. We ask that You open their channels wide, that You prepare their minds, hearts, bodies and spirits to receive what You have for them in these days of Feast 2003. In the power of the keys we claim complete openness so that they might receive the fullness of Your Word. In the power of the keys we claim clear focus and solid concentration for them in the coming days. We call on the keys of receptivity that they might receive with gladness and joy what You are about to give.

125. Through the keys of the Kingdom we claim clarity of thought and focus of mind for each of these brides, that they might receive the full power of Your Spirit through the Words You give. In the power of the keys we claim that each connection would be strengthened‚ reenergized, and reinvigorated. We call on the keys for power to fully absorb Your Word. We claim the key power of transformation of mind and renewal of spirit. In the power of the keys we ask that they become one with Your Word.

126. We release the firepower of the keys that we carry within us into these. We are Yours, dear King; we too are nothing without You. We thank You that You have chosen us to be conduits of Your incredible power. In the power of the keys we lift all barriers that would block Your Word from our mates and co–workers. We claim instant, clear connections so that they may be fed, enlightened, and transformed by Your keys and Your Word, which are one.

127. Open their eyes that they might see the complete wonders of Your Word, that they might take pleasure in the pure, sweet, renewing, energizing, invigorating, restorative, marvelous, alive, sensational, shocking, phenomenal, exciting waters of Your Word! With the key power vested in us‚ we open strong lines of concentration, focus, and absorption. We ask that each connection will be kept strong in the power of the keys. We claim key power for solid feeding times and feasting on Your Word.

128. In the power of the keys we ask that each one would have an insatiable hunger for the Words of life, the Words of revelation, for the fresh, hot, living Word of the Last Days, which You give to the children of David. Give them desperation for Your Word! Infuse them with the strength and power that only comes from Your Words. We call on the keys that each person will have a strong desire for the Words that give life abundant.

129. In the power of the keys we bind all static from the Enemy. In the power of the keys we set impenetrable force fields in place around each bride. We ask You to restore, renew, strengthen, guard and protect each connection, dear King. On Your key promises we stand. We praise You, the King of kings, for the great things You have done for the children of David!

130. Rest in your loving Husband now, dear mates. Sleep in His arms, and get ready to receive all that He has to give you in these days. Truly you are most blessed above all who have ever lived upon the face of the Earth. Do not despise your birthright, but stand strong in the power and might and strength of your Lord! Claim it, believe it, cherish it, act on it‚ and obey His Words.

131. Give glory and praise to your Husband and King, for all that is true and pure and right, all that will last, is in your hands. Give Him praise and glory for choosing you, weak as you are; for trusting you with the Words of life, the Words of power‚ the keys to all victory, the keys to overcoming, the keys that conquer all.

132. Glory to Whom glory is due! All praise and honor and glory to the King of kings! All glory to our Husband! You have not chosen Him, but He has chosen you. He has ordained that your mind and spirit should be opened to the deep things, the true things of the marvelous world of His Spirit—the real world, the only world that is forever! Give Him praise and honor and glory, for you are truly most blessed among all who live on Earth.

133. Rest now, dear mates. Rest in Him. Commit your sleep to Him. Learn of Him in the night seasons. Be strengthened and renewed. (End of message from Natalia.)

134. (Mama prays: ) Thank You‚ wonderful Husband and Lover, for the spiritual riches You bestow upon us. Thank You for making it possible for us to set these days aside for You. We want to be fully and completely Yours, sweet Love. We want to drink in Your Spirit in great measure. We want to love You and we want to be loved by You. We want to be changed, renewed‚ and recommitted.

135. Bless us all now with a good rest. Unite us in You, sweet Love. We are spread all around the world on our various mission fields where You've called us, but we're all serving You and one in You, and we've all committed these days to You, and You alone. Keep each of us and our loved ones safe in Your care‚ and as we sleep, please prepare our spirits to receive all that You have to give us.

136. We praise You and glorify You‚ our dear, dear Love. Thank You for the privilege of being Your brides and knowing You and being able to communicate with You so intimately. Give us all a good rest in Your arms now. Continue to renew us and help us to set aside everything but Your Word so that we can be wholly Yours during these special days. We love You, wonderful Jesus. We are Yours.
