The opening of the Northern Highway part II – 22 July 2008

On Sonday the Lord started downloading the programme and what to do and where I had been bobbing from the bed to the couch to the kitchen and back to the bed the first 4 days I suddenly had a lot of energy, focus and enthusiasm. The programme came first and I made long lists of questions to be answered when I get to the internet. I also sent those SMSes with questions that no-one answered, alerting me that no-one had been getting any of the SMSes I thought I sent from my Greenland SIM. So when could use the internet on Monday I spent most of the precious hour I had trying to catch up on all the missed connections on the bulksms website – praise the Lord for bulksms.co.za!   Monday was the first really beautiful day, with the bluest sky and such a bright sun in it! All my 40 day cycles start at sunset of the eve of the date. So this Highway was supposed to start at sunset on 21 July, the only problem was that the son never sets this time of the year in Qaanaaq. (I wonder how the Arctic Jews would deal with the beginning and end of the Sabbath in a place where they have days and nights that last for 3 months.)   I had a funny urgency to tidy up and pack, so I did that on returning from my internet outing, even though I was not to fly for 2 days. When the dishes and my clothes were washed, and all the papers that I had strewn all over were sorted and put away I humbled myself and sought the Lord.   He first gave me Ps 47 to proclaim and I worked with that for some time. Then I started writing out all the scriptures he had already given me on the map. Rom 8:19, Isa 35:8, John 14:6, Johan 3:16-17, Mar 16:15, Gen 13:17, Isa 49:6, Isa 62:11 & Ps 47.   Then He started to give the following list of things to do: - At the beginning blow the shofar to declare the opening of the Highway from the Northern Ends of the Earth to Jerusalem - At the beginning and at every border blow the sofar to sound a warning: read Rev 22:20 - At the beginning and at every border blow the shofar to make an announcement: read Rev 22:12-15 - Before coming to each border hear special scripture for country, and at the border write it on the map of the country and proclaim it. - Call the bride of Christ to arise in each country. - In every capitol anoint the Gate for the Bride - At the beginning and at each border tell the gospel to the earth and ask for permission to take stones to Zion to petition for the revelation of the Sons of God. - In every country read all of Revelations aloud - Before leaving a country proclaim Is 40:3-5 - Worship the Father 7 times a day for 20 minutes   So I also wrote Rev 22:20 and 12-15, Isa 40:3-5 and for the bride Songs 1:1 & Ps 2:12   When I was done it was after 10 pm but still the brightest day outside. I prepared everything meticulously, I almost did not know myself. Usually I just kind of fall in and go with what I have. I wrote the special scripture for Greenland Is 40:3-5 on the map of Greenland. I wrote the instructions on what to do on a little piece of paper and on the back of the map. I took the map, the extra little paper with the copy of the instructions, my Shofar and the little silver bag that my mother marked so beautifully for Greenland and put them all in my jacket pockets. I also put on or in my pockets gloves, scarf, cap and thermal underwear.   Then at about 11pm I set out up the mountain behind Qaanaaq to go to speak to the icecap that stretches from there to the north pole. I climbed to a place from where I could see the icecap on Friday, so I knew a bit of what it looked like up there. So now, after 5 days of being almost exclusively in the Lord's company, I was tuned into Him in a special way and was talking to Him out loud as I went along. When I reached what I thought was about half-way up the mountain, I realised I had forgotten the 40 stones from Zion. I sat down on a rock looking down at the House I had come from, and wondered if I should go back. On discussing the matter with the Lord he reminded me that I had told my currently absent hosts when I met them in Nuuk that I will leaver the stones in Qaanaaq. I concluded that they have to be buried under their house, since their house is the only functioning church in town.   Then I continued up the mountain. The rest of the journey to the ice was amazing to the point of miraculous. What I thought was about as high as the Maggalies in Waverley where I live, turned out to be more like Tablemountain in Cape Town. My eyes deceived me on the first scouting trip, and where I estimated that it would take an hour to get to the top it took almost 3.   But the Lord got me up there, with much soul searching and repentance along the way. He kept on reminding me of people I have not completely forgiven, then I had to stop and forgive them before I could go on.   And the Holy Spirit gave me silly little songs to encourage me: Keep on keeping on we are almost there, Keep on keeping on hallelujah Lord.   And on and on like that. Over newly post snow-cover terrain that basically consists of rocks of every size stretching on as far as the eye can see. I was so thankful for the 21 day fast with walking around the farm I did until I flew on the 11th. My body Is really stronger now than it has ever been since my early teens. I could jump from rock to rock up there like I could remember doing as a child – or perhaps it was really miraculous.   About halfway, when I started realising that I had totally underestimated this walk, I experienced what had stopped me in my tracks when I came up there the previous time: while I could see around me for miles, and it was obvious that I'm alone, I felt a presence of something that was setting its will against me. It was trying to use fear and intimidation and I felt like it was looking at me from the icecap. I rebuked it and prayed many beautiful things as the Holy Spirit lead, and I felt the Lord come beside me and cover me under His wing. Then I was safe. But I did realise that the battle is on, and I asked Him to wake intercessors to pray (what were you doing 3-7am SA time on Monday Morning? In the amazing power of the Lord I actually started to enjoy the walk. I drank from the little fountains along the way, and took many pictures.   When I finally reached the icecap I was amazed at my own faith. I put on all my warm gear, walked to the edge. Put my foot on it and claimed the North Pole for the Lord, called it to attention, and in the ice wind (there were actually little grains of ice coming of what looks like a big ice dune) I turned my back to the North to speak over the length of Greenland. There was a little piece of my human brain thinking 'this is crazy', but it was as if my spirit knew that the whole cloud of witnesses, all the angels, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and all of creation was paying attention – in a non-threatening kind of way. So I thanked Him that He would arrange for all the amplification that may be required for the furthest galaxies toe hear, and I thanked the Spirit for His guidance as I go ahead (by now I was almost frozen stiff). Then I just went through the instructions as I wrote them down. I struggled a bit with my gloves and the reading off the map in the wind. When I came to the point of telling Greenland the gospel and asking for permission to take the stones, I started crying (a very uncomfortable thing to do in the ice wind). I was really under the impression that creation is aware that 'corruption does not inherit incorruption', and that it was willingly resting in the hands of its Creator to be made new in whatever way He chooses.   I took a stone from the edge of the ice. Thanked God that the amplifiers were off again, and returned down the mountain with strength that almost shocked me.   The Lord is doing something really amazing. The more I see of it, the more amazing it becomes.
