The Cloak of Twelve Monkeys by Gayla Holley
I dreamed I saw a cloak and it had 12 monkey heads sticking out of it. These monkeys were alive and their bodies were hidden underneath the cloak. Only their heads were showing.
They were acting as a pathway. As an open channel.
If something occurred that these monkeys could affect, they took charge and caused trouble.
The pathways were well established and a different monkey was connected to each pathway.
The 12 human attributes that the monkeys were working through were named,
1 Pain
2 Impatience
3 Instability
4 Insecurity
5 Self justification
6 Impudence
7 Loose talk
8 Frustration over lack of control
9 Reliving past hurts
10 Tolerance of inadequacy
11 Ignorance
12 Immorality
These avenues once accessed caused major spiritual upheavals to the human and loss of spiritual ground. Causing the soul to once again have to start over and rebuild their personal spiritual development, relationships with others and their reputation before others many times.
Take off the robe of fleshly behaviors and put on the mind of Christ. Keep it firmly intact and refuse the admittance of carnal reactions to these 12 human attributes
Arthur Peter, Missionary Extraordainaire!
I met Arthur in a side room at a a sparsely attended conference in Las Vegas at a Golf Resort some years ago. I had walked into a discussion chaired by my friend and mentor Jim Davis of David Ministries. As I sat down Jim focused questions on Missionary Work in this era to me! This wonderful, young Missionary to the Philippines asked a question. I was so intrigued a sowed a small seed into him at the conference and have followed him ever since with the anticipation of God's great use of his wisdom and zeal! Please go to Flower and Arthur's web address and after you have enjoyed sharing the vision, send them a gift to help in the work!

location April 2005. Not long after moving, we started our first church plant - House of Prayer.
Now 2 years later April 2007 the Lord has blessed the church with growth and brought disciples on our path. Now it is time to enter into phase 3 where we start discipling people who want to enter into full time ministry. We are excited about what God is doing in our midst and our looking forward to the final phase where we start sending the native disciples out to start their church plant. However, this will not be before finishing the discipling period of about 4 years.
THE SILVERSMITH
Some time ago, a few ladies met in a certain city to study the
scriptures. While reading the third chapter of Malachi, they came upon
a remarkable expression in the third verse:
"And He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver (Malachi 3:3)"
One lady proposed to visit a silversmith, and report to them on what he
said about the subject. She went accordingly, and without telling the
object of her errand, begged the silversmith to tell her about the
process of refining silver.
After he had fully described it to her, she asked, "But Sir, do you sit
while the work of refining is going on?"
"Oh, yes madam," replied the silversmith; "I must sit with my eyes
steadily fixed on the furnace, for if the time necessary for refining
be exceeded in the slightest degree, the silver will be injured."
The lady at once saw the beauty, and comfort too, of the expression,
"He shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver." God sees it needful to
put His children into a furnace; His eye is steadily intent on the work
of purifying, and His wisdom and love are both engaged in the best
manner for us. Our trials do not come at random, and He will not let us
be tested beyond what we can endure.
Before she left, the lady asked one final question, "When do you know
the process is complete?"
"Why, that is quite simple," replied the silversmith. "When I can see
my own image in the silver, the refining process is finished."
