The Golden Lampstand and the 2 Olive Trees

One day, as I was reading the prophetic books during my 7-year-wilderness, God took my spirit up to the 3rd heaven and showed me a vision similar to the one that Prophet Ezekiel saw in Ezekiel 1, a vision of God's throne with 4 of His cherubims with the faces of a lion, an ox, an eagle, and a man and their wheels of fire. Just as Prophet Ezekiel reacted when he saw this vision, I too was in fearful awe of the Almighty God and stood still before Him unable to speak. When God spoke, it was like thunder, and yet my spirit understood what He was saying. God told me that He wanted to reveal to the Church all the revelations that we would need to be transfigured. He then led me to Zechariah 4 and showed me the golden Lampstand and the 2 Olive Trees. The golden Lampstand turned into Jesus, and He stood amidst His 7 Spirits. When I asked God what the 2 Olive Trees were, He took me back to the vision when Jesus called me "Mary Esther" and showed me the faces of God the Father and Holy Spirit, our heavenly Mother. When I first tried to see the face of the Holy Spirit, I couldn't make out the face because I thought the Holy Spirit was male, but when Jesus told me that the Holy Spirit was like Sarah, Abraham's wife, I saw the face of the Holy Spirit for the first time, and it was the most beautiful female face I'd ever seen. The face of the Holy Spirit was warm, motherly, peaceful, and the most gracious face I had ever seen.

Once I had the revelation that the Holy Spirit was female, for Genesis 1:27 says that God created humans in their image, male and female, Jesus was able to open my eyes to the full revelation of the golden Lampstand and the 2 Olive Trees in Zechariah 4. The first lesson Jesus taught me was that order is very important in God's Kingdom. Taking me to Mt. 28:18-20, Jesus said that it was crucial that God's people be baptized first by God the Father, then God the Son, and lastly God the Holy Spirit. "Baptized" can not only mean "immersed in water" but also "anointed by the Spirit of God."

Jesus then showed me that the Olive Tree standing left of the golden Lampstand

represented God the Father and that He had 9 fruits of agape love mentioned in Gal. 5:22-23: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Jesus said that God the Father could also be seen as the Jewish menorah with 9 candles. Each candle represents one of the 9 fruits of agape love. Jesus told me that it is important for the lost people of the world to first partake of the 9 fruits of agape love (the 9 fruits of God the Father) before eating from His tree (the Tree of Righteousness) or the Olive Tree that represents the Holy Spirit because developing the character of agape love will ensure that the believers will not abuse His authority or the power that comes from the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit.

After partaking from the Olive Tree that represents God the Father and producing the 9 fruits of agape love, we can then eat from the Tree of Righteousness, which represents Jesus Christ. Once we produce the fruit of righteousness and receive the Spirit of Christ, which is also known as the Spirit of Peace, we become born-again Christians. As born-again Christians, we can now partake from the Olive Tree that represents the Holy Spirit, which means we can begin to claim the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit and start learning how to use them in order to bear the fruits of the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit. John Wimber prayed one year for sick people to be healed. During that year, he didn't see anyone get healed, but because he kept praying for sick people, he finally produced the fruit of the gift of healing and received the anointing or the Spirit of Healing, which is one of the 9 Spirits of the Holy Spirit.

As born-again Christians, as we are growing in the 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit and been anointed with all 9 Spirits of the Holy Spirit, God will also call us to ministry and give us the authority to be a leader in His Kingdom. In Zechariah 4, Jesus is seen as the golden Lampstand with a bowl in the middle and 7 candles. When we are born again, the bowl in the middle is lit by the Spirit of Christ, but once God begins to entrust us with His authority, His 7 Spirits, which are represented by the 7 candles in the golden Lampstand, He will teach us how to produce each of the 7 fruits of righteousness and receive His 7 Spirits, which are Spirit of Adoption, Spirit of Truth and Grace, Spirit of Life (see Jn. 14:6), Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, Spirit of Counsel and Empowerment, Spirit of Revelation (Spirit of Prophecy), and Spirit of Reverence and Obedience (see Is. 11:2) in order to be a godly leader in His Kingdom. Each Spirit of Christ gives God's chosen leader authority to lead His people in a certain way. For example: If God gives a leader the Spirit of Adoption, he/she has been given the authority to make disciples for Christ.

If we as a Church follow the order prescribed by God to be baptized by the Spirits of the Trinity, all the abuses in the Church by false leaders will be gone, and the sheep of God will be safely shepherded by true ministers of God who are fully equipped with all the Spirits of the Trinity.
