Dear Rosanna, this Blog serves to recap our hour of fellowshipping coupled with bible study.
Dearly Beloved’s I pray that all is well with you and your loved ones, God’s Blessings be with you all, In Jesus Christ name. Amen!!! Sealed with LOVE!!!
Preface
Rosanna, let the record show, that when I shared with you that in 2016 God directed me to follow the teachings of Derek Prince, you, Rosanna, shrugged your shoulders and stated that your preference is to follow the bible and I am in agreement with that.
However, I emphatically assured you that God uses people from all walks of life as his disciples; and I can assure you one thousand percent (1000%) that Derek Prince was a chosen disciple of God to preach and teach God’s Word.
The beauty that I find in Derek’s teaching is his means to take the Word of God, The Bible, and: dissect, sort, and make it comprehendible, a means to interpret God’s Word in truth, digestible.
Derek Prince, to me, was chiseled, molded and pruned to be God’s chosen vessel to preach and teach the gospel according to God’s Will.
Reading the Word of God on our own is essential, however, the interpretation is critical; hence, we should not lean on our own understanding and Trust in The Lord as He leads us and direct us to partake in the fellowship of those who are chosen.
Equally important, when God directs us to do something, obedience is an absolute must!!!
My greatest desire is to please our Heavenly Father and to do His Will!!!
For it is written:
Jeremiah 29:11
New International Version
11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Noteworthy: I share an intimate connection with Derek Prince on the premise that, like him, I too had a supernatural encounter with God: The Holy Trinity. The relations of our supernatural encounter with God is so similar and endearing and I thank God Almighty for His Directives to me to follow Derek’s Teaching, this directive was delivered to me by the Rhema Word of God, Governed by The Holy Spirit speaking through me.
For the record, the Rhema Word of God is defined as follows:
Utterance or a spoken word
Rhema is a Greek word that means an utterance or a spoken word12. It is often used to refer to the spoken word of God2, as opposed to logos, which is the written word of God. Rhema can be a specific word or phrase that God speaks to an individual through prayer, reading the Bible, or prophetic words2.
Moving On to our, hour of Fellowshipping…
Rosanna and Alyssa, I give all praises to God: Our Heavenly Father, Our Lord Jesus Christ and The Holy Spirit for bringing us together on this day, Wednesday, January 31, 2024 for a time of fellowshipping coupled with bible study.
Rosanna, the Topics of Discussions which you brought to the table are: The Family System and Passover of The New Covenant.
The Scriptures which you based the subject matters on are: Hebrews 8:5, Hebrews 12:9, Matthew 6:9, 2 Corinthians 6:17, Galatians 4:26, Revelations 22:17, John 4:13-14, Revelations 21:9-10, Luke 22:20, Luke 22:7-15.
For the record, I requested to video tape our session, however, Rosanna, you were not comfortable with my request to video tape on the premise there would be a chance of “agreeing to disagree” on some subject matters and so we proceeded with you taking notes for me to have as a means to recap for my viewers.
My Prayer
Holy Spirit, please guide me in truth as I share with our viewers The Topics of Discussion. Please bring to memory all matters discussed during our session. May God’s Will be done. In Jesus Christ name. Amen.
Moving On
Topic of Discussion #1: The Family System
Rosanna, It was apparent to me that your agenda was to reinforce the subject matter of a Mother God, which Alyssa had discussed with me during our initial visit including Cecilia.
The scripture you shared as a means to validate your belief of a mother god is Hebrew 8:5 which reads as follows:
Hebrews 8:5
New International Version
5 They serve at a sanctuary that is a copy and shadow of what is in heaven. This is why Moses was warned when he was about to build the tabernacle: “See to it that you make everything according to the pattern shown you on the mountain.”[a]
Moving On
Rosanna, your interpretation of this scripture is your means to say that our family system here on earth is a “copy and shadow” of heaven, in the sense that there is God The Father and God The Mother.
Moving On
The following is an excerpt from Derek Prince (now deceased since 2003) with a breakdown on Hebrews 8:5. At the end of this excerpt I will include the link for the entire sermon and access to Derek Prince Ministries…
The excerpt read as follows:
Going on in [Hebrews] verse 5. We’ll read the verse and then we’ll comment on it. It begins with “who.” That is, the priests who offer on earth.
“...who do their priestly service [I’m amplifying a little bit] in what is a pattern [or a model] and a shadow of the things in the heavenlies, as Moses is warned by God when he’s
about to make the tabernacle; for, God says, See that you make it all [or everything] according to the pattern which was showed you in the mountain.”
So, what the writer is saying is the Levitical priests on earth do their priestly service in something that is only a model or a shadow of the real thing which is in heaven. And in substantiation of that from the Old Testament we can turn to the passage that’s actually quoted. We’ll look at Exodus 25 at two successive verses. This section of Exodus deals with the instructions for making the tabernacle and all its furniture and utensils. Exodus 25:9, the Lord is speaking and He says to Moses:
“According to all that I am going to show you, as the pattern of the tabernacle and the pattern of all its furniture, just so you shall construct it.”
God is very specific. He says, “I’m going to give you an exact pattern and you’ve got to make it exactly according to the pattern. But the pattern that I’m giving you is a pattern of which the original is in heaven.”
Then in the same chapter, verse 40:
“And see that you make them after the pattern for them, which was shown to you on the mountain.”
So when Moses was up on Mount Horeb in communion with God and God gave him the instructions for making the tabernacle and all its furniture, God showed him an actual pattern or maybe showed him the original. He didn’t just have the dimensions, he had the dimensions but he’d seen what he was supposed to make it like. You see, there are many things in the Bible that although we have the dimensions, we really don’t know how to make them. One is the tabernacle. Lots of different very learned scholars have worked long but they’ve never come up with a definitive, final picture of what the tabernacle was like. The other is the temple of Solomon. Concerning the temple of Solomon, David says that when he was making preparation for it, God caused him to know by His hand upon him in writing the pattern. So David, by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, had a pattern, a blueprint of the temple. We don’t have the blueprint. If you have just the dimensions without the blueprint, it’s not at all clear in some ways what you’re supposed to produce.
The point I’m making is that the tabernacle that Moses made was based on an original in heaven. I think that’s very clearly stated there. I don’t think there’s any possibility of interpreting those words otherwise. You see, why I’m laboring this point is because I think a lot of Christians think that material things on earth are real and spiritual things in heaven are kind of misty, shadowy, amorphous—like little bits of mist that float around. They think if anything were specific it wouldn’t be spiritual. I know that was my attitude as a teenager attending the Anglican Church I [End of Excerpt]
The following is the link to Derek’s entire sermon: Analysis of Hebrews: Chapter 8 | Sermon | Derek Prince Ministries, I pray that The Holy Spirit will prompt you to read and or listen to it, in its entirety, Heavenly Father may Your Will be done, In Christ Jesus name.
Moving On
Rosanna, God Almighty, Our Heavenly Father, Is The Creater, He is a Spirit, a Triune Being: The Father, The Son (Jesus Christ) and The Holy Spirit. THERE IS NO MOTHER GOD!!! PERIOD!!!
We humans, God’s creation, are triune beings: spirit, soul and body.
Topic of Discussion #2: The Bride of Christ
Rosanna, the scriptures you reference relative to Christ’s Bride are:
Revelation 22:17
New International Version
17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
Revelation 21:9-10
New International Version
The New Jerusalem, the Bride of the Lamb
9 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a mountain great and high, and showed me the Holy City, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God.
Moving On
Rosanna, it is evident that you interpret the above two scriptures as a means to support your belief that the Bride of Christ is singular in the manner of a spirit being, hence, a mother god.
Again, I invite you to visit Derek Prince Ministries website: Derek Prince Ministries USA | Ultimate Bible Teaching Collection , to educate you on the fact that the bride of Christ is the Church, believers in Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah, and PERIOD!!!
For It Is Written…
Hosea 4:5-6
New International Version
5 You stumble day and night,
and the prophets stumble with you.
So I will destroy your mother—
6 my people are destroyed from lack of knowledge.
“Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also reject you as my priests;
because you have ignored the law of your God,
I also will ignore your children.
Moving On
The topic I brought to the table is: Have either of you (Rosanna and Alyssa) been baptized in The Holy Spirit.
You both answered: Yes, I then asked if either of you had been given any gifts, namely, the gift of tongues, the answer was no.
Rosanna, you indicated that you spoke two different languages, however, these are your secular languages, not spiritual languages administered by The Holy Spirit.
After further discussion it became apparent that both you and Alyssa believe that the water baptism signifies being baptized in The Holy Spirit.
Granted, Jesus says according to: Matthew 28:18-20
New International Version
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
However it is also written by John The Baptist
Matthew 3:11
New International Version
11 “I baptize you with[a] water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with[b] the Holy Spirit and fire.
Moving On
Rosanna and Alyssa, it is apparent that neither of you are believers of the supernatural acts of God: The Holy Trinity, however, I urge you to read the book of Acts; and too, I emphatically urge you to visit Derek Prince website on this subject matter.
I could elaborate further, I feel that there is so much more that I could say, but this is about the choices you make according to your will and desire to please our Heavenly Father.
For many are called, but few are chosen, and God is seeking those who will worship him in truth, spirit to spirit, this too, The Rhema Word of God has been spoken through me, governed by The Holy Spirit. You can read my Blog titled: Dearly beloveds, I have two testimonies to share with you…12/10/2023
The following is an excerpt from that Blog:
My Testimony #2…
Again, during my evening prayer on December 8, 2023, The Holy Spirit revealed for the 2nd time that The Father stated that the world would know that I am His Dunamis Warrior Princess. He stated that I worship Him in truth, Spirit to Spirit and that many do not know Him this way.
For It is written…
John 4:23-24
New King James Version
23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
Romans 8:30-31
And those he predestined, he also called; those he called; he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified. What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Matthew 10:27
(NKJV)
Jesus Teaches the Fear of God
27 “Whatever I tell you in the dark, speak in the light; and what you hear in the ear, preach on the housetops. [End of my excerpt]
Moving On
Alyssa, you asked me; how do I know that the supernatural acts that I have encountered, are of God.
My response to you was: Faith coupled with the fact that I know who I was worshipping, God tells us to test all spirits.
I also shared with the both of you that in 2016, after my encounter with God: The Holy Trinity, I went through a period of testing, it was intense; HOWEVER, I persevered, I endured, I trusted in The Lord with all my heart, I did not lean on my own understanding, HALLELUJAH!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!!
For the record, The Books of Acts speaks abundantly on the supernatural. At one point in my life, I did not believe in the supernatural; however, God has increased my measure of faith as I keep my eyes and thoughts on Him: The Holy Trinity, seeking ye first the Kingdom of God and His Righteousness.
I invite you both to view my videotaping titled: Credits, on the premise there were a number of Christian authors whose books were instrumental in satisfying my thirst and hunger for knowledge, wisdom and understanding.
Noteworthy: The first book of Derek Prince that I read is titled: Curse or Blessing, You Choose. I highly recommend reading it to all my viewers, you will have a life changing experience.
In closing, there is so much more I could say, however, I pray that the both of you will not be spiritually lazy and that you too, will embrace Derek Prince teachings.
Derek Prince was a man with great compassion for the truth of our existence as human beings and the only place he found that truth was in the Word of God and the Living Word of God following his supernatural encounter with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
The Bible is our lifeline to eternity!!!
The right Interpretation of the Word of God is crucial, and Derek Prince has masterfully concord this, in my opinion; AND apparently God is in agreement, because Derek is a chosen one; and too, God directed me to follow Derek’s teachings. I stand in obedience to God’s commandment. HALLELUJAH!!! AMEN!!! SO BE IT!!! THANK YOU, JESUS CHRIST!!!

Romans 12:3
New King James Version

Hebrews 12:9
New International Version
9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of spirits and live!

9 “This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
2 Corinthians 6:14-18
New International Version
Warning Against Idolatry
14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? 15 What harmony is there between Christ and Belial[a]? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. As God has said:
“I will live with them
and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they will be my people.”[b]
17 Therefore,
“Come out from them
and be separate,
says the Lord.
Touch no unclean thing,
and I will receive you.”[c]
18 And,
“I will be a Father to you,
and you will be my sons and daughters,
says the Lord Almighty.”[d]
John 4:13-14
New International Version
13 Jesus answered, “Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, 14 but whoever drinks the water I give them will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give them will become in them a spring of water welling up to eternal life.”
Luke 22:20
New International Version
20 In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.[a]
Luke 22:7-15
New International Version
The Last Supper
7 Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.”
9 “Where do you want us to prepare for it?” they asked.
10 He replied, “As you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him to the house that he enters, 11 and say to the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher asks: Where is the guest room, where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?’ 12 He will show you a large room upstairs, all furnished. Make preparations there.”
13 They left and found things just as Jesus had told them. So they prepared the Passover.
14 When the hour came, Jesus and his apostles reclined at the table. 15 And he said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.
