We have entered the Feast Of Tabernacles
Arthur Burt

This was no ordinary meeting! In fact, it was no ordinary Arthur Burt meeting! Those who have heard the ministry of this vessel of God know that often he calls upon his vast history, knowledge of scriptures, and great stories to weave the fabric of his teachings. A recent stroke has affected his memory, hence rendering him unable to call upon his normal array of resources. God is using this in a most extraordinary way.

While this condition was somewhat evident in the meeting , it was even more so in the airplane flying Arthur to Dothan, Alabama. What makes this condition of such incredible dimension is the fact that Arthur must often call upon the Holy Spirit to speak before he speaks. What made the meeting so special were the things we heard coming from his lips. What we heard was, for the most part, the breath of God. I will attempt to convey some of the more important elements of what I heard:

"We are not soon to enter the (Feast of Tabernacles); we have already entered it. Only those who have ears to hear will experience it. You must 'come out' before you can ever 'enter in.'" Paraphrased, You must leave something old to arrive at something new. God wants to pour out the new wine, but will only pour it into the new wineskin - those prepared to receive.

"God is about to do something entirely new in music; something entirely new."

"We are coming to a place of being led of the Spirit of God in all we do. This is happening in a remnant company of believers now. The evidence in their lives of God's power, favor, and blessing will be a testimonial example for the Body. Many attributes make up that remnant company, but one of the most extraordinary is the revelation of John 5:30 "Of my ownself I can do nothing..." Said differently, When we realize that we can do nothing apart from God, then we are prepared to be used of God. Even as we act with God in an endeavor, it is not us but Him doing the work, therefore we can never accept the glory.

This morning in prayer I felt I heard the Holy Spirit say to me:

"The stone has been rolled away and the resurrected Body is coming forth, into the light.. Physical evidence for all to see is now manifesting in the remnant body. This Third Day Company will do mighty exploits in my name and glorify me. Do not grow weary in well-doing (obeying me), and soon extreme physical evidence of my hand upon you will avail itself. I will glorify myself through my remnant company."

"I will soon separate the prophets into two clearly distinctive groups - those that are in it for the money, and those who are not. Those who are not will offer a pure word from having heard my voice. Many who have gained name recognition (in my name) as significantly prophetic are not; while others who have remained hidden and unassuming ARE! My true pro phets speak to the heart (spirit), while the false speak to the head (intellect).

Arthur Burt describes himself as "a piece of paper blown by the wind from one place to another", but more often as simply a vessel of God's mercy. "If you ask me who I am, I will tell you. I am nobody, and the message I bring today is that every somebody will now have to become nobody. We must lose our identity in the body of Christ, because Father will not give his glory to anybody but Christ." Check out his website at www.arthurburt.com
