Here’s what I can remember: </p>
<p>I was with my wife Cassandra in a hotel room, and felt the Lord urging me to go out, though I didn’t know for sure the reason. Cassandra was reluctant to see me leave, but acquiesced and let me depart. </p>
<p>I walked for a distance, and came to a hotel ballroom where there was a concert taking place with thousands of Filipinos in attendance. It was an event that normally I would have been a part of, but I was absent, and I somehow understood that many people were disappointed that I was not there. </p>
<p>I entered the big ballroom, and while still at the back I went to a sink and began brushing my teeth. (In actuality I had fallen asleep right after eating fruit and lettuce, without brushing, so my mouth was yucky and needed to be cleansed. Perhaps this had an affect upon my dream). Just as I began brushing my teeth, a man onstage (a local singer who was becoming increasingly known among Filipinos) spoke into the mic: </p>
<p>“I’d like to sing this song by Steve Kuban. As a child I sang it often, and it encouraged me a lot when I was growing up. Since brother Steve is not here to sing it tonight, I will be the one.” And then he began singing For the Lord is My Tower. </p>
<p>The moment he began, my heart leapt within me. I felt the urge to run down to the stage and give him a thumbs up and wave of encouragement. If he didn’t see me (because of the bright lights shining in his eyes), I decided I would go up onto the stage and start singing with him. “What a happy surprise that will be,” I thought, “for him, and for the audience too.” </p>
<p>So I quickly finished brushing my teeth, and ran down toward the stage. But by the time I got near, he had finished singing, and now another performer began the song, “The Philippines is for Christ.” I paused at the bottom of the stage, realizing that it’s not appropriate for me to go onto the stage, because it wasn’t my song. But still I wanted to wave to him and encourage him. (The singer may have been composer Ernie Palacio himself, but in the dream I wasn’t sure). Though “The Philippines is For Christ” is not my composition, it was one of the songs on my gold album “More of the River” which helped popularize it among Filipinos. For this reason, and because I sang it in my Philippine concerts worldwide, some people think I wrote it. </p>
<p>I also thought that by going closer to the stage, certain pastors would be blessed seeing me, knowing that I was there in the midst of the people. I wanted them to know my heart is with them. </p>
<p>I stood down below the stage and waved up to the singer. He saw me and responded back with a wave and a big smile. </p>
<p>I wanted to remain in the auditorium and enjoy the concert, but still I felt a pressing need to depart and follow the leading of the Lord, though I wasn’t sure what He was up to or where He was taking me. I exited the auditorium through a door beside the stage. </p>
<p>Once I was in the backstage area, I walked through a dimly lit passageway. It led to the backstage area of an adjacent ballroom, where dancers, processionalists, flag-wavers and tambourinists were praising the Lord to music. I saw them gathered in the backstage area, then watched them stream out into the ballroom to perform. And as they did, I knew from the voluminous response that the audience were being greatly blessed. </p>
<p>I continued walking along the dimly-lit backstage area, until finally emerging into the well-lit main foyer outside the ballrooms. There was still an urgency in my heart to “get back”, and it was at this moment I realized in the dream that my mom was downstairs in the main auditorium, and was needing me to come to her. </p>
<p>I proceeded to make my way through the hotel ballroom areas, unsure exactly where to go, as I was unfamiliar with the layout of the rooms and ballrooms, as I had never before been here. </p>
<p>Enroute I popped my head into a smaller ballroom, and to my surprise saw about a hundred people gathered for a graduation ceremony. I entered into the top of the room, which was like a university classroom, with the Master of Ceremonies standing below at a lectern on the main floor, with the graduates assembled beside him, dressed in graduation attire. There were also many guests in the seats where university students sit during classes. </p>
<p>The head professor (or perhaps Master of Ceremonies?) looked up, saw me </p>
<p>[and another person whom he first addressed while I waited. When they finished a brief exchange, he turned to me looking up, ] </p>
<p>and said, “Brother Steve Kuban, it’s good to see you here! Please can you stay so we can have some pictures with you?” I realized this was an important occasion! I saw all the grads assembled in their graduation attire, students of many ages and levels. I wondered what class or level they were each graduating from? I saw a printed program listing the various grades from elementary up to high school, and perhaps beyond, for there were some advanced calculus math symbols listed beside some of the higher levels. I knew that this was an important moment for the graduates. It was such a warm thought that the Master of Ceremonies was asking me to stay and be part of their photos. Of course I wanted to stay. </p>
<p>But I had a sense of urgency to return back to the main auditorium downstairs (6 floors below) because my mom was there and needed me. So I told the Master of Ceremonies, “I’m so sorry, I need to get back to my mom. She’s 95 years old, and needs me.” He was visibly disappointed, and replied, “Well, okay brother Steve, we surely understand if you must go.” </p>
<p>But I felt sad because this occasion was important to 100 graduates, and if they could have a photo with me which might make the occasion even more special, I surely want to be available. It’s even more special to them, than for the other folk who were in the concert in the main auditorium, because of the occasion, and because these folk were not dressed in ordinary clothes, but dressed in their graduation gowns, marking the uniqueness of the occasion. </p>
<p>But seeing the disappointment in the MC’s voice, I felt bad, so I made an an offer that I honestly wasn’t sure I could keep: “Please if you can wait ten minutes, I will first go attend to my mom, and then, if there’s any way possible, I will come right back.” The MC was happy and said they would wait for me to return. </p>
<p>In my mind, I thought, “They probably are thinking that I won’t come back. The MC knows it, the people know it … and I know it.” I hated the thought that I had just promised something to lessen their disappointment but in reality the likelihood of me fulfilling my promise was low. I knew my mom would be tired and have little desire to accompany me to yet another event that took my attention off her, onto my “adoring fans” (as she calls them). </p>
<p>I hurried away from the lecture hall and made my way back down to the main auditorium. On the way, I passed some tables covered in extravagant sweets, like chocolates cups filled with exotic nuts. I bit one, and it was delicious. I thought, “Wow, all these awesome sweets sitting on the tables, why haven’t the people gobbled them all up, and pocketed the leftovers?” Seeing the lavish display made me realize how extravagantly this occasion had been provided for. There was more than enough for everyone, and much still remaining. </p>
<p>I continued several flights down the main stairway and arrived at the second floor. It was an ornate balcony overlooking the main foyer, which was as beautiful as any ballroom or foyer I had ever seen. </p>
<p>By this time, the concert had finished, and there was a steady stream of concert-goers exiting the main auditorium. I wondered, “Where is my mom? Has she left her seat? Is she coming out?” From the second floor vantage point, I was unable to see people’s faces clearly, especially the women who were wearing hats. I tried to remember what my mom was wearing, or what her shoes looked like —hoping I might recognize her in the crowd by her shoes or clothing. I seemed to remember that she had been wearing black, so I was looking for a woman wearing black, that might be her. </p>
<p>Then amid the crowd, one elderly woman stood out: she was walking just like my mom — slow, deliberate, careful, with a walking stick in one hand. She was on her own (though there were streams of people passing around her exiting the auditorium). I ran down the remaining steps to the main floor and then ran toward her. Yes, it was my mom! But I was surprised, for she was wearing a brilliant blouse completely studded with sparkling diamonds! I met her and took her by the hand, and told her she looked so beautiful. </p>
<p>Then my mom spoke to me: “Thank you for helping me! I had lost my key, but you helped me find it. I am so grateful to you Steve.” In that moment, I remembered that I had recently helped my mom find her key and get out of a difficult and helpless situation she found herself in. I identified with her feeling of helplessness and need, and to reassure her I replied, “I understand mom. Something happened to me, where I was helpless and needed help, and Cassandra and Ian came and helped me (my wife and stepson). I understand.” </p>
<p>*(And indeed, just before falling asleep, that’s what had happened! It’s rare for me, even almost unthinkable, that I am in such a position to desperately need someone’s help. I am usually very independent, even fiercely so. But this morning, just before reading today’s Shabbat Torah, I decided to take one additional tablet of doxazosin which helps keep my blood pressure low. I never take a second dose. But this morning, after having taken one tablet at 1am, I decided to take an extra one, to see if it might lower my blood pressure. But unknown to me, doctors warn that increasing the dosage can cause one to get dizzy. And that’s exactly what happened to me 30 minutes after taking the second tablet — suddenly, while reading Torah out loud, I became very dizzy, and the room started to spin. I knew I needed to immediately get off my chair and lay down on the bed beside me, before I might faint. I was barely able to crawl onto my bed, the room spun so intensely. I tried lifting myself up several times, but every time the room spun and I had to fall immediately back onto the bed. I felt helpless. But I needed to pee, but was unable to get off the bed in my own power. (Believe me, I tried to get up first, on my own, but every time I lifted up my head, the room went spinning and I had to fall back onto the bed. I was absolutely unable to get to the toilet, even though it’s only 12 feet away from my bed.) So I asked for Cassandra and Ian’s help, and they held and supported me, to the point where I was able to walk to the bathroom, with them holding up most of my weight. I felt strength enough to walk the few steps, because they held me up.) </p>
<p>So I told my mom that I understood her situation of feeling helpless and needing assistance. </p>
<p>My mom was really happy, and was SO thankful for the help I had given her. Her words and actions were very sincere and genuine. </p>
<p>I took her by the hand and led her away from the crowds of people. I decided not to ask her right away whether I could take her upstairs upstairs to visit the graduates. I didn’t know if there was an elevator, and there was certainly no way she could walk up six flights of stairs. So I resigned myself that I wouldn’t be able to go back up to see the grads. </p>
<p>As mom and I walked along the foyer of the hotel main ballroom floor a short distance, I saw a nearby elevator. With courage I asked mom: “Can we just zip upstairs for a few minutes? There are some graduates who asked me to take pictures with them. We can go up in this elevator.” My mom agreed, and as we entered the elevator I pressed the button to go up to the sixth floor …. and that’s when I woke up.</p>Steve Kubantag:stevekuban.com,2005:Post/55065922018-10-28T13:15:00-04:002021-11-30T02:58:29-05:00Be a Well-Oiled Machine With Precision<p>The Lord spoke an encouraging word to my heart this morning about being a “well-oiled machine with precision.” I was able to transcribe half of the prophecy today and will upload the rest when I’m able, as well as post the audio. </p>
<p>181028 Be a Well-Oiled Machine With Precision </p>
<p>Be a well oiled machine with precision. It is certain that if your body is well you can do a better job. It is certain that if your soul is well you will be at peace and effective, your mind and your will and your emotions in their rightful place in subjection to my Spirit. </p>
<p>My son, when you were young, you would take your bicycle apart right down to the ball bearings — hundreds of little pieces spread across your basement floor on a newspaper, right down to the ball bearings. My son you learned to operate with precision. </p>
<p>When you were in grade 6, you would take the book on computers out of your library week after week after week. Yours was the only name signed on the library card — as was your practice with many books throughout those years — and you learned how computers talk. How they take data as binary digits, zeros and ones, off's and on's, form that into words, bits of information becoming bytes, eight bits is a byte, and how a computer thinks and processes data. </p>
<p>Computers are very precise. My children understand they're not like the sons of men. The sons of men are happy if they get a percentage right. But a computer insists on getting all the bits in every byte. Because of the difference between the way man thinks and the way a computer processes data, it's sometimes difficult for human beings to appreciate the fact of a computer's precision. But think about this, my children. When you transfer a file, be it small or large, it consists of a number of bits, bytes, words of data. And when you transfer it from one place to another, from one storage to another, every single bit must be accounted for. Look at any video that you have taken. Look in its details, and you will see how many bits and bytes of information is contained, right down to the very bit. Why is it? Is a computer satisfied if it transfers a file and there are bits and bytes missing? It's not. Because of its precision. </p>
<p>When you were young, My son, and began to transfer data, in your human mind you imagined that computers must miss a byte or two, or three, or even hundreds on a big file of millions of bytes. After all, how can anyone keep track of so many bits and bytes? And you had a hard time, My son, really coming to that point of realization of the precision of the computer environment and mechanism. Such is the power of precision. </p>
<p>I want to talk to you about your human mechanism. When you are a well oiled machine you've got pieces that fit together. My son think of those chain links in your bicycle chain. Think of the dérailleur. Think of the cogs and gears the sprockets. Think of the wheels, the hubs, and yes the ball bearings inside those hubs. Think of the pedals that transfer the power from the human leg. Think of ankling, how to generate even more power than just going around in circles. My son these are things that get the job done. This is how you go from A to B, as a human being on a bicycle. All of these things are important. You built that bicycle, but you built in a sense of rebuilding what had been there before. You took it apart, and you greased and you oiled you lubricated every piece that needed to be. You tightened up the cabling so that when you would pull the brake the calipers would grip the wheels evenly. You don't want to have oil though at that point, otherwise the fast bike won't go slow. Yes, there's a place for oil and a place for grease. But there's a place for friction too, My son. All of these things are needs in the mechanism of a bicycle. And a bicycle is a simple machine compared to a piston driven camshaft engine in a car, or other vehicles that are much more complex than these. But when you're driving down the road at 70 mph, that engine is working with precision. That's how you can get from A to B. And speed? RPM's 2,000, 3,000. Think about how fast this engine is burning gasoline and converting energy to torque and out through the driveshaft to the wheels and "there you go." </p>
<p>I want to speak to you about your body. Your body is an essential machine. When your body ceases to function well, then you're unable to cover the ground that I need. When your body ceases to beat the heart any longer, then you cease, in your bodily functions. </p>
<p>Your body's necessary, as necessary as wheels on the car. Without your body. My son, you won't get very far. Your body must be a well-oiled machine. Even prophesying My son. The prophecies will come forth with more gumption when your body is beating well, circulation's clear and strong, brain receiving blood and oxygen. All of these things you know to a bit, though not as much as one who studies medicine and physiologics. </p>
<p>But there's a real connection between your body and your mind. And I need you to be sharp, My children, all of you. I need you to be sharp. To function as a well oiled machine for me. As long as you breathe. And for whatever part there is of you that may not function well, may the other parts of your body make up for the difference, so that you can be sharp. Even as one who is blind can hear more accurately. </p>
<p>My children develop those senses. Have your wits about you. This is not complex, not nearly as complex, as the actual mechanism of your physical body. Not nearly as complex as the neurological movements that transact in your mind. Man has not even yet come to understand the complexities of the human computer, the human mind. But what he has discovered is that without the oxygen and the nutrients that the brain needs, it won't last more than minutes. So, how delicate, how essential is it that you take care of your brain? Of your lungs, of your heart, and of your arteries and veins, so that the blood can flow and deliver the oxygen to every organ. Indeed, "the life is in the blood." Therefore be careful what you eat, and be careful what you allow to contaminate, and clog those arteries and veins. </p>
<p>My son I want you to be strong. My children I want you all to be strong. My daughters I want you to be strong, for Me — so that all of you can get the job done that have called you to be. That you can fulfill your destiny. Your life hangs upon your very next heartbeat. You want to know how close you are to eternity? You’re a heartbeat away. So take care, please, of your human machinery. </p>
<p>My son, my daughter: you have a job to do for Me. Each one of My children has a different job, but each one is catered individually. This is your life. This is your calling. This is your past. This is your history. This is who you are, and this is who you have been. And this, My son, My daughter, is what I want you to be. It's a complex mechanism, destiny — and it requires your cooperation with Me. I want you to be something. I put it in your spirit, put it in your mind, put it in your heart and your emotions, so that you will move in that direction and obey me. And if you obey what I say, then you will move toward the next step of fulfilling your destiny. </p>
<p>My son, as I spoke and sang through you: "Do everything I say." And if My children will do everything I say, if you will do everything I say, you will perfectly fulfill my plan for you, which is your destiny. </p>
<p>I want you to be a well oiled machinery with precision. "Oh, but the human mechanism! It gets in the way, doesn't it!" My son, just like in your mind you couldn't conceive, as a young child, the perfection of a computer, because of your imperfections. You actually thought that when a file was transferred, a file of a million bits and 8 million bytes, you actually thought that, "Surely some of them must be dropped along the way. Nothing can be that perfect." And it was hard for you to understand the precision of ComputerLand. But it is very precise. It can make up for what is missing, just like you can hear things even when data are missing. Your mind puts it together. </p>
<p>(With lossy compression, pictures that you see on your computer screen are far smaller in size than the original one, because of compression. You can see jerky videos, blurry videos, poorly-resoluted videos, and your mind can still piece it together and create a good image, even though so much is missing. But hear ye, the file size is what is transmitted. When it's compressed, the file size is smaller. But when it gets transmitted, it's still accurate to the bit and the byte, because computers are well-oiled machines of precision.) </p>
<p>Cry out to me for more precision! Cry out to me for more obedience! Cry out to me for more revelation! And cry out to me for perfect heart impression! I will work through the imperfect you. I will make up for many things that you lack. I'll even fix your disobedience, to bring the best forth. For "All things work together for the good of those who love the Lord and who are called according to His purpose." And you surely are called — all of you, My children. But that human mechanism that can get in the way when it doesn't do jobs well, misses data, drops bits and bytes along the way, or through utter disobedience or through lacking.... </p>
<p>My son and daughter I've given to you many prophecies, many words through these lips. I have stirred and work cooperatively with this human vessel of imperfection to bring forth prophecies, to give you direction. You have these. You record them, and some you transcribe (though it should be many more than you do) so that it can be there to remind you what I told you. </p>
<p>My son don't worry too much about whether or not the words coming out of your mouth are formed and said exactly the way that's from My heart to you, because I work with you. I use your vocabulary. I use your lips, your vocal cords and larynx. I use your mind to process the impressions of the Spirit that I give to you. That's why when you see the books of the Canon of Scripture, these were human agents who penned, yes in their own flesh imperfection, but because I work through them, I use them, and I wrote these words, and I give the inspiration, so that these words come alive to you and accomplish its mission. My word shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish its mission in you. </p>
<p>And it is very good My children that you read My Word every day. It is your daily food. It is the air you breathe. That's Me, My presence, My very Word living in you, sustaining you, bringing that oxygen of the spirit to the nerves and organs of both your physical being and your spirit. "I pray that your soul may prosper" (3 John 1:2) even as your spirit prospers. And that your body will be quickened that you might manifest with perfection His purpose.</p>Steve Kubantag:stevekuban.com,2005:Post/55853872018-09-21T20:45:00-04:002020-03-10T16:31:44-04:00Tabernacle Yourself With Me<p>Every day during the feast of Sukkot you truly set your heart yourself apart to meet Me. It's difficult to spend time with Me when you're busy, when you're rushing about, and touring, setting up and singing and traveling. You have done well. You have both done well. And I've opened the door for you to come to Israel and to be a part of the United Nations for Israel. But my son and daughter, what is UNIFY apart from Me? What is anything apart from Me? </p>
<p>I give you this time to just rest in Me, to draw near to Me, to truly make a booth and tabernacle together with Me. For truly it is the tabernacle of Moshe that signifies God with man. And you can be in the outer court, doing the service — and that's what you have done, as you travelled and traversed and climbed mountains, planted flags, set up equipment and sang. You're truly doing a good job, but it's part of the outward things to be done. But the tabernacle represents more than just doing — more than sacrifice, more than the obligations and requirements of the Torah. </p>
<p>But the whole picture of the tabernacle is the Holy of Holies: where I meet with you. And this is only a place that those who know Me through the blood of Messiah can come. There's no way that the ordinary Israelite could go into the Holy of Holies — off-limits, impossible to access. But the holy holies is accessible for you, because of the blood of Yeshua your high Priest. So tabernacle with Me. </p>
<p>The day will be soon here of Simchat Torah — Dancing with the Torah. And my son, I love it when you dance with Me. I love it when you sing the songs of Zion and when you sing My Torah. It is My Word. And you cannot change My Word, but you can add music to My Word. You can't change any more than any translators can change — and every translation is its own. But the essence of the Torah remains the same. But you can change the beat, you can change the music, you can create your own, and thereby it's a marriage. A marriage of Me, My Torah, the engagement of the Holy Spirit, and you. My betrothed. </p>
<p>This is what I long for. That we would have intimacy together. That we would sing together, dance together, because when you dance, I dance. When you sing, I sang. I rejoice over you with singing. YHVH Thy Elohim in the midst of thee (that's tabernacling) is mighty. My essence. He will rejoice over thee with singing. And He will rest in his love. The Lord Thy God in the midst of thee is mighty, My son. </p>
<p>So come dance with Me, sing with Me. Because I want to sing to through you. I want to bring forth the depth of intimacy — the intimacy that will bring forth word that will bring forth song in this marriage. </p>
<p>My son: with you, what are your offspring? Do I birth children in you? My son, I birth songs in you! These songs are essence and are treasured possessions. Because I carry the essence and tabernacle Myself in the hearts of the people when they sing My Word. It becomes a part of them. And when you write a song, it becomes one of your children. </p>
<p>Think about this. Abraham had many children. I promised him he would have offspring. As the stars of the sky in the sand on the shore many, many will be the offspring of of Avraham. And what I promised you, my son? Where your offspring? Where is it: your inheritance? The blessing that will come to you? Because a man's children and his grandchildren are his blessing. Avraham blessed his grandchildren, and blessed his sons and their wives. And they were all blessed because of him. So my son carry this blessing. These are truly your children. They are truly your inheritance. They are truly what will provide, even in your old age. The songs that I gave. </p>
<p>So you must pay very careful attention to the songs my son. It's the songs that must come forth. And they are songs of tabernacle. I am blessed when you sing songs of intimacy, because that's worship. I'm blessed when you sing songs of the blood, because that is your access, your propitiation. I'm blessed when you sing songs of love to Me — that's true intimacy. What is marriage without love? What good it's really to be a love relationship. And as you well taught, the worship must be a love session with God. So love Me get close to Me. Don't worry about all the buttons and the beats and the styles. I at first would rather that you just play and let your fingers float over the keys without having any distractions. There is a time to fly the jet, but there's a time first to learn. There's a time first to lead worship, and a time for you to play the keyboards and to beat out the music and play it. </p>
<p>But there's the time that you have to learn intimacy with Me, and that must always be continual. You must always go deeper and deeper in Me. You must not allow the technology to interfere. Technology is a great blessing, but you'd better not worship technology. </p>
<p>This is what's happened with the generation that you are in. The information age should be such a great blessing. You remember well my children having to do your assignments and going to the library and having to get books and encyclopedias to study to get the information. But now that's old-style. Now you can search literally for almost everything on the Internet, because it's the information age. And so this should be a blessing. </p>
<p>But people have lost out with me, because they're so busy with technology. Really when they watch on YouTube and they feel satisfied, they're missing out on their own worship. They are letting the video do the worship. And because it satisfies a portion of them, they feel good, and they feel that they have encountered me. But nothing has transpired of value, as far as intimacy with me. They let the video replace me. </p>
<p>How is it that even the elect can be so deceived? It's not a difficult thing to have intimacy with me. That's worship. Encounter me. That's what it is for me to tabernacle myself with you. I come and I live in you, but you have to come to me. I tabernacled myself with Israel through the tabernacle in the wilderness. I was there for them, but they had to come to me and it was through the priests and the Levitical ministry, those sons of Levi. They had a responsibility to be priests between YHVH and the people. But I want all my children to be priests to me. I want all of my children to be able to come into the Holy of Holies. And the way has been made. </p>
<p>But now you must make the effort to make the pilgrimage to me. You can live in the holy of holies while you drive. You can live in the holy of holies while you work. You can be completely enshrouded in my cloud of glory, no matter what you're doing in your hands, feet, in your travels wherever are you. But that's the secret of my presence. I will hide you in the secret of my presence. </p>
<p>My son from the very early days I rang this bell in your heart. It was Me that called you. It was Me that set you there. It was Me that allowed you to hear every one of those messages, "In the secret of His presence." Because this is the Divine essence, this is the pre-requirement for worship. </p>
<p>I'm not impressed if they sing songs and clap their hands, but they miss Me! But that's what happens with technology. It's replacing the essence of worship. So my son, how can you help? How is it that you can use the gift I've given you, to set the hook, hold on, and you can bring them to have Divine encounter with Me, themselves? Not to worship vicariously. Because that's what happens with this technology: "Oh I will worship vicariously. Let Hillsongs have the worship time, and I'll just kind of hang on . . . watch what they do, listen to the sound. . . . Okay, I'm done my worship time. Time to go home." </p>
<p>It's a sad day when the congregation worships vicariously. "Let the band worship. Let the singers worship. Let the worship leader worship… and I will watch. When it's over, I will feel happy that I worshiped." Well, this falls far short, and is not what brings change in people's lives. They may feel emotional and soulical responses. Some will weep and cry because of how they felt when that song was played. But my son, it's when they encounter me in the Spirit. Because the Father is Spirit. Those who worship Him can only worship truly in Spirit. </p>
<p>So you must in your own personal lives, cultivate that connection with Me and that worship with Me. You must, in your own personal lives, be worshipers first — because you can't bring them where you yourself have not been. My son, it's easy to just play, because you've been playing all your life. It's a tool, and it's well honed — but I want more, because those who are skilled at what they do can be more effective at what they do. But the effectiveness that I speak of is not disconnected with the integrity of your heart. It's not separate and removed from your spiritual worship. </p>
<p>So it's not enough to practice scales. It's not enough to get the beats and select good words. But you have to practice worshiping me, to practice getting into the Holy of Holies with me. You have to practice being in a different dimension with me. Oh, let your fingers do their job. You're well-trained. You can always train better, and therefore be more effective. But it's the worship itself that has to be practiced. It's that regular continual communion with me. You've heard many fathers say, "I don't spend much time with my children, but the time that I do spend is quality." But quantity cannot be substituted. Those who are with their children often, frequently, regularly… they'll have more intimacy than those who come once a week for a few hours at a time. So abide in Me, let My words abide in you, and you will bring forth much fruit. The new songs. The new compositions. The new essences. </p>
<p>So where are you now? I could choose to put you where I wish, where I want to. So look at this season right now as time for you to tabernacle yourself with Me. After all, you're the one that is supposed to build the booth. Not Me. And Israel and Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, and all over the nation they are building booths right now get all right and ready for this jubilant occasion. There is much that people can learn when they're out under the sky instead of inside their homes, as a reminder for them of what their forefathers went through coming out of Egypt and moving across the desert. Hallelujah.</p>

Some choose not to study My Word because they think that once they graduate to heaven they'll have all of eternity to study, so what point really is there, to put all that effort in now? "After all, eternity is a long time and I can learn a lot. Then, when I arrive and have lots more time than I do on earth..." </p>
<p>But I say to you, my children, your position in heaven will be directly related to how intensely you sought Me. If you don't seek Me while I may be found (Isaiah 55:6), then do not anticipate that all of eternity will enable you to get off "Scott free" for what you didn't do in this life for Me. And this is the same as your good works. Because the day will come when you will stand before the Lord your God, to give an account for every word that was spoken, and every deed that was done in your body, in this lifetime, before you've come home.(Matt 12:36; 2 Cor 5:10; Rom 14:12; Heb 4:13; 1 Pet 4:5) </p>
<p>That's why I say, My children, study now to show yourself approved. Dedicate yourself now while you have the time. Because when you give yourself early on to a cause, and you read My Word, that cause will become deeply embedded into the soul, and warp and woof, of your life. It's like a tree: the sooner it gets planted, the deeper will grow the roots, and the more fruitful and (in many times) the taller and stronger, broader and greater shall be the tree. </p>
<p>I want you to be like a tree planted by the streams of water. And the water is the washing of the Word. The water is My Torah, My Law and the Word of God. Do you want lots of water? Then drink lots of My Word in this life, and don't trust that eternity will give you the time that you need. </p>
<p>There are positions. The 12 tribes of Israel, they are the gates (Rev. 21:21). And the 12 disciples, they are here in the New Jerusalem (Rev. 12:14). </p>
<p>But you too have a place in my kingdom. Every one of you. But where will that place be? Well, most certainly it won't be the Pearly Gates with the tribes of Israel, and it won't be the disciples, apostles of Yeshua, because those are already taken and established. So then, where are you? Where is your reward? What is it that you will receive for having been faithful to the Lord? </p>
<p>My children, have faith. As Yeshua declared, "I go away to prepare for you a place. And doubtless I will come again and receive you and take you with Me. For in My Father's house are many mansions." (John 14:2) </p>
<p>Those who devote their life to build their house upon the solid rock — Yeshua, the Rock that won't move — the LORD YHVH, their God, their Elohim — in this life will have a very wonderful place in Heaven. But those who neglect building their house on the Rock-strength, will find that it gets wrecked. The biggest mansion, on the strongest and most firm terra firma of this life; if you don't build your house upon the Rock, it will not abide. </p>
<p>And I want your life to abide. The life — that's really your house. Build your life upon the solid Rock. The Rock of Yeshua. For the Rock that followed them in the desert was none other than He, the Lord of Glory. (1 Cor. 10:4). The First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, the pre-incarnate Christ. (Isaiah 44:6; Rev. 1:17; 2:8; 22:13) </p>
<p>My children, this is what you can build upon in this life. And when you do, you will learn my Word. My Word will be that Rock of Strength to thee, that will be the Citadel. It will be the security. The Word of God is timeless and will never fade nor wither. It will last forever. And when you place your life in YHVH's hands and build your house on the Rock in your life — on the Rock rather than on the shifting sands — you are preparing for eternity, so grand. </p>
<p>I'm not impressed by those who build big mansions in their time on earth at the neglect of My Word. I'm not impressed with those who try their best to be their best, but they do it apart for Me. For unless you abide in Me, nothing that you do can avail for eternity. What I am impressed by, is a life that is sold out to pursue passionately the Lord your God, to love Me with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind and all your strength. This will surely please the Lord. </p>
<p>I am the LORD. I am YHVH your Elohim. These ordinances and these commandments: live in them! (Lev 18:5) Because they are your house. You want to live in a good place? Then live in my Word, let it be your abode. Hide My Word in your heart. Learn my Torah. </p>
<p>The degree to which you are faithful to love Me and obey Me in this life, will determine the place where you will be in the afterlife. Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these other things that you need in life will be added unto you. It's my promise. If you seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness.(Matthew 6:33) </p>
<p>Some today say that, "We live in the day of grace, and that any sin that you do, you can simply ask forgiveness and God will forgive you." But then in My Word, is it not clear that you are to live holy? You're to set yourself apart in this life for Me. If you live a 'habit' of sin, and grace is 'easy' then really, is that living for Me? When you know the truth that you shall be holy, even as I am holy? </p>
<p>People go to church once a week, but if they live devilishly the rest of the six days and the rest of the 22 hours (other than when they were in church), that doesn't please Me. David said, "This shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock." What is it that pleases Me? A broken and a contrite heart. A heart that follows hard after Me, and a heart that has as its priorities the things that are priorities to Me. </p>
<p>I have angels, cherubim, seraphim and creatures, Heavenly creatures, that cry out, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty" — and they do this for eternity. This is important, this proclamation, because I am holy. And without holiness no man shall see YHVH. Don't think that if you live devilishly but try your best on Sunday to go to the house of the Lord, that that pleases Me. Because I am YHVH, and before Me everything is revealed. I know the secrets of your heart. I know your secret heart. I know whether you really love Me. </p>
<p>Not anyone can stand sin-less in the walk of this life. "For we all have sinned," declared John. "But if we sin, if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:19). And I will, because the blood of the Lamb has availed, and will avail still, for all eternity. He is the same, and the work that He did, once he came into the Holy of Holies when he shed his own blood, and presented it upon the place of propitiation in heaven to pay for your sins, to provide the Divine atonement, so that you can be free from the wages of sin, which is death eternally. </p>
<p>Yom Kippur is a day of rejoicing for those who really are in love with Yeshua and recognize that "He was wounded for your transgressions and bruised for your iniquities, who understand that the chastisement of your peace was upon Him, and with his wounds you are forever healed." (Isaiah 53:5) </p>
<p>Yom Kippur is a day of celebration, because you know you can come boldly before the throne of Almighty Elohim, YHVH Tzevaot, and obtain grace and mercy for your hour of need. The high priest was not allowed to come just any time. But you are! And I want you to come, because I've made the way for you. When Yeshua died upon the cross, the veil of the temple was torn in two from the top to the bottom. And at the same time in the physical, the cloth was being torn, literally the cherubs around the Lord were torn in two. What is it that Yeshua was doing for you? He came boldly through the cherubim that surrounded the throne room of God, those who cry, "Holy, holy, holy!" who encircle and protect around YAH. Yeshua came, and He split the cherubim and seraphim, right to the mercy seat of God. </p>
<p>This is worth celebrating. You don't have to be like those who do not understand that Yeshua is the way the truth and the life and He gave His life for all of man. You don't have to be like those who worry about whether their names are written in the Lamb's book of life. You who know, because I've given the earnest of your inheritance, the Ruach HaKodash – as the Earnest of your inheritance. (Eph 1:14). The Spirit of the living God is alive in you. You are the temple of the holy God. I choose to live in you. How wonderful is this truth? </p>
<p>The joy that's in you — the joy and the happiness, the exhilaration, knowing that no sin can get the best of you, if you have a heart that's after YAH. Some say that, "There are certain kinds of sins that, if I do those, I cannot be forgiven." But I say unto you, my children, you are now slaves of righteousness. You were slaves to sin, and you did those things that were against God. But now, if the Ruach HaKodesh is in you, you're set apart and sealed for Me. Now you have a new heart. Now you have a new Master. Your old master was sin, and you were a slave to sin. and you did its biddings. Thanks be unto God, because of Yeshua. He's given you the victory now. I purchased you. I bought you with a price. Now therefore glorify God in your bodies, which are the Lord's (1 Cor 6:20). "I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless I live. But it's no longer I who live, but Messiah lives in me." (Galatians 2:20) And if Messiah lives in you, My children, then you have the power to choose to live righteously. You have the power within you, for "Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world." (1 John 4:4) You can reckon yourselves dead to sin, because that's the accomplished work of the great High priest, the true highest Kohen (Rom 6:11; </p>
<p>My children, I'm happy for you. And I want you to be happy too. Every day, look at the ring on your finger, that engagement which is the Ruach HaKodesh dwelling in you, the Divine down-payment that assures you — and His Word is true and faithful, He will not forsake you — that the marriage is coming. You're betrothed unto Me now. </p>
<p>There will be a great day of celebration. And with the Lord one day is as a thousand years. So however long it's going to take, until that day, it'll be but a blink in the eyes of eternity. </p>
<p>So maintain faithfulness to Me. Maintain passion for Me. Maintain dying to self, and living unto Me. Maintain living the Torah and My ordinances and my statutes and My Laws. Let My commandments be hidden in your heart. Ask of Me and I'll give you an ability to follow the Torah. Ask of Me and I will give you those things that will enable you to overcome the flesh, for "You've been given exceeding great and precious promises whereby you can [and shall!] escape the corruption that is in this world through lust." (2 Pet 1:4). It's the lust of the eyes, the pride of life that gets men down, gets them in trouble, and puts them in strife. I want you to avoid that. And therefore, I give you My special Word, My Torah, that you can hide in your heart and live in. </p>
<p>Let your life be that which is so, so surely secured, that you have died to sin. That's why I'm asking you read My Word study My Word. </p>
<p>The Torah is coming alive into you, My children. And those promises and those commandments and those directives that many Christians overlook — "They're a little bit too complicated. They're obscure. They're deep in that Levitical book. I don't look there very often." You've heard preachers say these very words, and they almost laugh mockingly "Oh yes, how many of us understand the book of Leviticus. Haha..." As though Christians shouldn't read the third book of the Torah. That's mocking Me. But it's true. Many don't understand God's rules. </p>
<p>But when you read My Torah faithfully, as it is "religiously", but not with a religious spirit, but rather with fervor and discipline. That's what is meant by that term, "He follows the Lord religiously ." It means he puts the words and promises of God in high priority. That's what you're doing My son and My daughter as you spend time to read my Torah. And what you're finding is that it's becoming a part of you, by repetition, by reading it regularly without omissions. And it's not once a passage per year for you, My children, you're reading it regularly, as I have asked of you, every two months read My Torah and Haftarah, and understand the Britt Kadashah. Read the Psalms because they are the life, they are the joy, they are the songs that take my Torah and put it into life, and that life will go in you. As David said, "Thy Word have I hid in my heart; that I might not sin against You." (Ps 119:11) The Torah are the exceeding great and precious promises given by YAH, that you can escape all that corruption and all that lust and all that pride of life, that haughtiness and that obstinence to want to do what you want to do. Watch out! If you make your neck too hard it will be broken without warning and without remedy. But resiliency that is based on My Torah pleases me. The one who says, "I will not live the way that the world beckons, promises, threatens mockingly: 'If you don't live the worldly life, you're a fool'." </p>
<p>No, My children. If you live the way of the world you're a fool. Because wisdom comes from fearing God. But the fool has said in his heart, "There is no God." There are many, many in the world — they are fools. And why would you allow a fool to cause you to lose out?" So stand with My Word, live My Word, because it is your life. </p>
<p>My son as you input my Word, My Torah, as you put in the Hebrew words, there is meaning. There's so much for you to learn in the days to come. You have to study my Word from those who are anointed ones, who through their discipline and years of training, their devotion and gaining understanding — this is the beauty of the teacher. The teacher has taken the time. It's become a part of his or her life, and it has borne the fruit that I promise it will bring. So therefore when they stand up and speak, or even as they sing, it comes from a heart of conviction. "I've walked this way, and I know His word is true, the word of YHVH. And now, let me share it with you what I've learned." </p>
<p>It's so important that you share My Word. It's so important that if you're going to be a good teacher but it has already become a part of you. My son when you've tried to teach just reading notes on a paper or a pad that you've put down (often from what other people have said) and it's not yet become a part of you, doesn't it feel weak? when you stand and try to preach that word, if you're always looking? </p>
<p>But when you get in the flow of the Holy Ghost, and it comes out of you because you know that you know...Then the conviction, the anointing rises, and when people hear you speak they know that this is not just foolishness or frivolity, nor it is something you learn by rote, but it's something that you eat. And what you eat becomes a part of you. So therefore eat my Word My children. Eat my Word, and it will come out through the writings, through the speakings, through the singing, through the compositions, especially for you, My son, because, as the prophets spoke over you in 1982, you're going to bring heavenly things down to earth where the people can grasp them, comprehend them, understand them and thereby apply them. You can't apply something you don't understand. But when you understand that the application becomes very strong in you. </p>
<p>And I want your songs to be songs of high-value. Songs (as Lamar declared) songs of the Divine. Songs of the Almighty. Songs that are high, to bring down YHVH's revelation to mankind, to bring the work of Yeshua where people can grasp it and understand, and they can know that this makes a difference in their life. </p>
<p>My son I release you to put together songs of meaning from my Torah. I release you to bring the essence of what it is that has been written, into a way that will touch the audience with Revelation. </p>
<p>You have many audiences. You have young, you have old, you have those who are Messianic and those who are church-bold. You have so many different ones that are patriotic and faithful to their cause. And so, as My songs come out of you, You'll be able to present My Word in such a way that every one of these will grasp it and appreciate it for their own particular situation, their calling, and their placement. And I give you the ability to groove. And the music's very important; it's a vehicle that I will use, and I have used, and shall use more in you. The beat itself carries an anointing. How can that be? Well David played the harp and the evil spirit left Saul. There is an anointing in the music, and that music is made up of many ingredients: in the rhythm, the beats, the records, the progressions, the melody, the samples, musics anointing is of all of these. </p>
<p>The eagle throws out the comfortable things so that the eaglets are no longer comfortable, they have to get out. That's when they learn to fly. So My children, in the coming days, you're going to find it prickly, uncomfortable. You can find it taxing and requiring of your faith. And I test your faith, so that it might grow stronger, and I cause you to learn to fly. My son, for you sometimes you gravitate to what it is that you're used to do, or your good to do, or where they welcome you. It's in a sense, a way of making it easy for you. You could run to Trinidad and there find that many will welcome you, and that's good, but I need you to do your work in America. I need you to do the work that's necessary for you even hear in South Florida, here in Orlando, here in Jacksonville. I put within you the exploration to come here many times. Even when Carol and Jerry were here, and you would find reason to come and visit and then connect to people that I have aligned for you. It will not be difficult. My son don't say that you're old and don't say you're irrelevant. Don't say that your songs don't apply to the Church today. Not true. They need them more than ever before, and more so that will come from you. </p>
<p>So with the need for your keyboard, and the need for the peaceable-ness, the tranquility of home base...and my daughter, she holds on to you. She does not want to leave this place because she has a work that she needs to do too. And the best place for her is the nest. She's willing to go wherever you ask, but she's asking you stay here, because "We have to fly right here. Because this is where our home is. This is where my son is. And this is where your keyboard is. And yes my husband this is where all those important stuffs is. You know the stuff that you have as memories, and pictures and recordings and videos. You have so many memories that are here, and they need to get out into the ears of the people, so they'll understand your life. So that the book can be written that will be a book that will bring life to them, and they'll understand you. And this after all, my husband, is your museum. This is the physical place where you can grab hold of these things which you cannot do once you leave Orlando." </p>
<p>So My son is she pulls upon you and says, "Come on, learn to spread your wings right here where you are. You have the qualifications, Doctor. You have the recommendations, you have the proof, and that's the authentication of your life and ministry. And besides, you can do miracles on that keyboard. And I'll make sure to publish and proclaim everything that you do, so that you will gain a great name. I want you to have a great name, my husband, because it's the name God has given you — "Yacob" — His beloved Jew. </p>
<p>And I'm going to give to you more My son, but this is where I'm stirring you. You cannot leave. You cannot leave. Oh I'm not saying you can't go for a day or two, or perhaps a week, but right now you need Orlando. You need your keyboard, you need the peace and shalom of your home. You need the comfort and security, instead of that ambiguity that is out there and the uncertainty when you're far away living day-to-day and place to place. And that's why I'm saying I'm going to make it uncomfortable for you. What is that uncomfortableness? It's not that I'm chasing you out of Orlando, but rather I'm chasing the "easy exit" that you gravitate to, the thing that says, "Oh, I can go where I'm loved and needed, and they know me." But every time you leave, you leave your keyboard. You leave this place. You leave that peacefulness and that security. I want you to find how wonderful home is. It is wonderful. You know it. The peace you feel, the comfort you feel, even having Suby at your disposal. Having especially your weapons right here. I'm not asking you to take them away, but I'm asking you, My son, dig down and stay. Stay here. But get out where they need you, all over Florida. It's easy. This is a place with thousands and thousands of churches. And not only that, but thousands of places of blessing, and hundreds of denominations and groups that are able to use you. </p>
<p>It didn't take you long when you go someplace foreign, when nobody knew you. All it takes is for them to have a few moments with you, and My Spirit bears witness. And so too, even just your voice, My son. You've called pastors out of the blue, and they didn't know you, but the very sound of my words in your lips and your voice cords, your vocal cords, tell them it's by My Ruach's anointing. "This is the man for you. This is the man that will help your congregation." So step out in faith, as I make this place a little bit uncomfortable for you, so that you can get out there. </p>
<p>And even more than Florida, America needs. And there will be thousands and thousands that will hear about you. In fact one retweet of music that you've done, something you've sung, or that you speak, shared 'out there' will bring thousands of new listeners to have awareness of who is Steve Kuban. This doesn't take a lot of work. But you have to work smart. And you have to sow the seed abundantly. Put it out there. There's limitless seed. Don't think that you only have one little cup and you have to worry and cry about each one that you put, hoping that it won't go in the ground and die. I give you so much seed that you can put it everywhere. But still you have to plant it wisely put it in the ground where people love the sound of the joy of the Lord. That's your joy, My son, it shines upon you as you dance and as you sing to everyone. Put that worship sound out there, because those who know the joyful sound will also know the sound of worship that is pure, a sound of a heart devoted to Yeshua. They're wanting it. You've heard many tell you that your sound of worship is different and the songs you write are different. They have depth great meaning. They have the anointing. And these are from those who hear many songs and song leaders and sing many compositions. </p>
<p>My son, more shall come. But what you have, maximize. The songs that you have written, get them out there. The CDs that you have, make sure they are available for people to get so, that when they hear about you they'll click on one button and they'll be able to get that anointing and that music, and they'll share, and thousands will be able to benefit, and they already do. Remember what I told you: Spotify. Pandora. SoundCloud. i-Tunes. Amazon. And so many more. Get it out there where people will be able now to hear the Word of the Lord. </p>
<p>In the coming days it will be necessary for you to register all of your songs, and it will be necessary for you My son to put on one album as many songs as can fit, and then you give that to CD Baby as a professional album. Therefore, they will then put you into their system for every one of those songs. How many songs can fit on a CD? You could do one a minute and you would have 80, and thereby as a professional submission you could technically provide 80 songs for them to follow, to log, catalog, and claim so that everywhere anyone plays those songs, money will come to you My son. Those albums that you have already recorded that have been beautiful, they can be played and then logged, tracked, and you can receive money from them. And remember digital distribution. Those who are streaming versus those who are downloading versus those who allow you to choose what you stream and others that say we will choose for you. Well My son, those who really want to customize their catalog of listening, they will be paying extra. And they'll pay extra, some of them because you and all your music is available on that platform. And they will want nothing better than to create a Steve Kuban channel. This is their playlist: all the songs that they have missed. And the many more that you come, to bring them to bless. You'll have many people, and they'll pay premium subscriptions. And then they'll play it over and over, and you'll get more My son, if they keep playing your songs when they are premium subscribers. Premium subscribers can choose what they listen to. Those who are free have to take what they can get, and they won't hear you very much, because there's so much other music out there. Analyze the logs of CD Baby. My daughter I commission you this way. You need to see where is it that the money has been made. It hasn't been all that much, but the track record now is there and the documents are there, and you will be able to get a better understanding of what pays and what doesn't. You'll be able to understand why I am telling you these things: That streaming is the way of the future, and subscriptions are the way that people are going to be able to get away without having to pay a dollar for every song. You're going to see that those that download songs will become a very small minority compared to those who just stream along. But they will pay premium subscriptions because, after all, it's a good thing to be able to download and listen and keep thousands yea millions of songs potentially for the same price. </p>
<p>It's not uncommon for someone who really doesn't have much skill to have his video played a million times or even more. If someone can do this just because they happen to be at the right place at the right time and the video went viral. If people can do this because they've learned the secret of what people want to hear. If the girl with a comely face, a face that people generally speaking, would not race to find and look at — if she's learned that "I can apply makeup to this face, and I can put it out there and many young girls will follow and I will become a professional video vlogger." And they have a million followers! And most of them young girls that want to see, "How does she make that comely face into such a face of beauty?" And that girl has learned. </p>
<p>And My son if they can do it so can you. Because the value of what you have is so much more than cosmetology. So it's very possible that millions of people can listen to you. And you've already seen an example of this, My son. And that video had nothing to do with the song, but it was the music that played, and the fact that you registered that song that enabled you to make hundreds and hundreds of dollars. And that's just one little song. How much more shall come. </p>
<p>I'm giving you these encouragements my children on Yom Kippur, because Yom Kippur is a day that you should understand that He's made the way for you, and He has declared that whatever you ask in His name, the Father shall do for you. He made the way for you, and is given unto you everything that you need for life and godliness. And life is paying the bills. Life is having income. Life is doing what you love to do, so that then you are free to do what brings joy to you. </p>
<p>I want you to be happy, and my daughter I want you to be fulfilled, and I want you to have the promises that are yea and amen in Him the Messiah come tangibly unto you. My children, you know how happy you are when you've received a big amount of money, and you come home, you put it in, and pay the bills and everything is going well, and you have abundance more to be able to bless your son, and to be a blessing to everyone. So it can be again for you. And it will. </p>
<p>So move forward now in the recommendation of your Master. Move forward now, and take these words. Get out of your comfort zone My son. Don't just call the ones that you know will receive you, but rather call those in Orlando who will open their doors to you. And as they open their doors to you, the word will get around, and you will become one that is desired, and the blessings will abound. </p>
<p>Those who have many connections here in this area, when you ring the bell in their church, they will recommend you no problem to others. So it won't be that you're going to have to go to churches blindly, but rather it will be that you will be recommended by those who then have seen. And soon this place will become much more profitable for you than it has been in this year that you've been here. </p>
<p>Joy come forth from My son and my daughter. Joy come forth to My son and My daughter, on this Yom Kippur, this day that they understand once again that I made the way, so that they could have everything they need to do My work and My will, right until the day that they leave and come to Me. And then they will find that all the study they did, all the devotion they had, and all the faithfulness to proclaim the good news through every means at their disposal, and especially through the Internet, will have now prepared them for their eternal position. And O the joys that are awaiting them in the heavenly Kingdom. </p>
<p>If the earthly tabernacle and the earthly sacrifices availed so much, how much more so the heavenly? And if this earthly joy and position that you have to do the work of God has bring you so much joy, how much more joy will there be in heaven waiting for you? So let this life be an example. Let this life be a model. Let this life be the exam that will then, based on the results, position you for the blessings that are yet to come in the life hereafter. This is my word to you my children on Yom Kippur 5779.</p>

You were My instrument to bring My Name to your father, and to bring My Name to your family. For it is in My Name that they can be saved. And there's no other name. There’s only one name Who can save, and that is the name of Yeshua, Who is YHVH’s salvation to every man, woman and child. </p>
<p>What do people remember, long after the day is gone? This is what you must impress thereupon. And My son, as you have through the gift I’ve given you presented a song, so again present a song that will remind them that <em>he lives on</em> — he’s not dead and gone. But he’s with me, and he is with Nanay, and<em> they are with Me</em>. And they are not weeping and mourning! </p>
<p>There is a time to mourn, a time to cry. Certainly the loss is real. And it’s okay to cry, because you miss him. But the memories of his love and his life, and his sacrifice to provide for all of his family — the memory of his hard efforts and work, so many miles walked, miles flown, miles away from the precious ones, so that he could provide for the precious ones of his life — those live on. And he still is pressing on, because through you, his memory lives on.<em> It’s your responsibility to let his legacy live for today. </em></p>
<p>He’s with Me, and he will always be. He knows My Name — <em>Yeshua Who saves</em> — and he did not miss the boat. He is with me, on the other side. </p>
<p>Proclaim, declare, celebrate his life. Celebrate that he came to Me, when I came to him through your lips, My children. He spoke My name in faith. </p>
<p>You’ve done your part. My daughter you’ve done your part. You were faithful. You made the journey, and you spoke carefully, lovingly, with conviction. You have not hidden My name, nor the truth of My Word. You have been faithful to do what you needed to do. </p>
<p>And as I have promised — "You shall be saved, and your household."</p>
<p>You spoke with your mother at length on the phone. You reminded her strictly, "There's no other Name to call upon." And she heard, and she knew. And My son, your songs spoke to her, for My Ruach HaKodesh remained, and caused that to be impressed upon her spirit. And so too, both of you, you’ve been faithful to travel the miles, and do what you needed to. My son, it was not easy to do what you did: to record the song, and have them sing along, and then to edit all this. You went through a task, but because you did, thousands can see, and they know: she’s with Me. So too, as you’ve done your part, exerted your effort, paid the price (and there’s still a little price to pay, but it won’t be as tasking as it was the first time, but still though important), so My son, commit it, write it, sing it, record it, and declare it: <em>He did not miss the boat. </em>No. He’s with me now, My children.</p>
<p>Don’t be sad, and don’t be afraid, and don’t listen to anything that anyone else opposite to this might say. Because he’s with me and I’ve had My way. And this came My children, because you chose to pray. And when you pray, nothing can get in the way. “Thy will be done, heavenly Father, Thy will be done in my father Homberto." I have heard. I've answered the prayer of faith. I have saved the sick, I have healed their wounded broken spirit, and given life when it counts, where it counts. </p>
<p>My daughter, through this proclaim My Name. Through this declare your love for your father. Declare the good things. Because when a father is on his deathbed, what he really wants to know, is that he's done what is right for his children — and he knows, because of your faith and proclamation. You have told him. And this is what he would long for for his children. And so be faithful My daughter, to make his memory great, to do your part. It’s one part of many, but it’s your part, and it’s something you cannot escape. If you don’t do your part, it won’t be done. So <em>do your part to make his memory great.</em> And this will be a statement of not only your faith, but the faith of Homberto, who called upon My Name. And because he did, he is saved.</p>

<p>180513 Motherhood </p>
<p>My daughter it's indeed funny that mothers are the most important element in the human race to actually bring forth life—and yet so few understand that I am more than a mother to all mankind. I am seen in these various manifestations of fatherhood, but yet they don't see my motherhood. Of course I'm a mother. I brought you forth. All of you. When you were being fashioned in your mother's womb, was it not from my will that I brought you? </p>
<p>The degree of connectedness between a mother and her child is indeed a type. Every flecked of connectedness that I have with you, my child, and all of you, my children. Can a woman forget the child of her womb? Sometimes. Not often. But even that sometimes. But yet I declare that I shall never forget you. </p>
<p>My daughter. I've given to you a child so that you may know motherhood. Were it not for Ian, how could you possibly understand this dimension of life? You have received life from your mother. And yes, she has been a great blessing to you, and because of what you've learned being a child daughter of hers, that even itself has been a great help to you to understand what it is to have a mom who truly cares for you — sacrifice and unselfishness. </p>
<p>But my daughter, it's Ian that I gave you, so that you could truly understand the pulse, the very breath and life, the heartbeat of motherhood. And there is much purpose for this, because I have a purpose for him. And that's the cry of your heart: </p>
<p> "Oh Lord, bless him, let him grow up and into You. Let him become more like you. Let him use his life for you. This is the fruit of my womb. And as the matriarchs in the Bible have done, so do I unto you. I give him to You. He's Yours, not mine. Ultimately he's Yours, Yours YHVH. So bless him. Grow him, teach him, develop him, strengthen him and sharpen him. And because I’m his mom, I will do everything in my power for him to grow up into You." </p>
<p>My daughter, this pulse, this heartbeat, this relentless cry of your heart, is indeed a reflection of My heart for all of My children. When you grow up to understand the place and role that I have for you, and why I have directed and guided you in my hand, you will realize My daughter that you're an extension of My motherhood. Because there are lives that I wish to attach in a dimension that is spiritual, but they need the Spirit. They need to hear My voice, not just feel emotions and thoughts that would be naturally Mine. But they need to feel the impulse of the Spirit, because that is how the Holy Spirit broods over His children. Indeed, some have said the Triune God, Father, Son and Mother, as a hen broods over young, so I brood over Mine. </p>
<p>You're going to learn how the things you do with your hands are going to bring My presence, My anointing, and My healing. And it will be in the capacity that My heart cries over My children as a mother, you're going to realize that your gifts are indeed to be used by Me, by My holy Breath, My Ruach Hakodesh – to be you must to touch their, even as My mother's heart longs to touch and teach and develop them. You're going to understand that when My son sings and the anointing comes forth, it's through the Ruach of motherhood that I want to touch them. And My children will hear me through his lips — because it's not him who sings (he's but My instrument), but it's Me Who sings in the Spirit. I blow upon them. For I am the Ruach of Elohim. </p>
<p>My daughter grow. Come here. You will see this as you begin to understand and see the manifestation of my plan being worked out through this. And you will see *my gifts, my gifts to my children. Because you have come into motherhood. You're going to learn what it is to be a spiritual mother to My children in faraway places. People and children of mine that you have never yet met or seen with your own eyes, you're going to feel My heart for them, and you're going to understand that through this music they're going to hear Me, they're going to feel Me, they're going to sense My care and My provision, My protection and My grace to bind up their wounds. </p>
<p>As a mother binds up her child's broken heart, scraped knee, and broken toys, so My daughter will you understand this is what I want to do for each of them, My girls and my boys. I want to see them grow up into adulthood even more than you want to see Ian grow up into adulthood. </p>
<p>You know this is going to take on a new dimension My daughter, because the more that you send forth the words and the music, the more you will understand it's the Ruach Hakodesh – indeed the "Spirit of Motherhood" that goes forth to them, and it's Me longing to reach them. Yeshua said, "The Spirit, the Ruach of YHVH is upon Me, for He has anointed Me." You're going to understand you're anointed my daughter, in the same capacity and dimension as your husband. Even as the disciples, even as the apostles, even as the authors of My Word and my Psalms and Proverbs. Yes Lemuel knew this is what a blessed woman is, a blessed mother of Israel (Proverbs 31). And so prepare for this. </p>
<p>Your way to see your hands, is an extension of My holy breath, My Ruach reaching out through the lens, through the silence, to the songs, and through the words that you post. You're to see hurting ones. You can understand My compassion for them. And as it is said, "How can they hear, if no one is sent to them?" My daughter, how lovely are your feet, because you are a sent one. </p>
<p>If you don't post that, they won't hear. You may not know what your postings will do. You may not know, and people won't be seeing you. If anything, they will be seeing your husband, but with if and went*. </p>
<p>And each time he is hidden in me under the anointing of the Spirit, it's Me that they will see in him. You've seen the transformation that comes. One moment he's your husband standing on the stage. Ah yes, you know him as nobody else does. But then you see him transformed and he becomes My instrument, the instrument of Yah. You're going to be like that. You're going to see and recognize that it's not you, but it's Me in you. And you're My instrument to deliver My Word, to bind up the brokenhearted, to give sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are bound by Satan's torments and by their own problems. You will be My instrument to set them free, My daughter, because you will be in the Ruach Hakodesh – His blessing. </p>
<p>Don't worry, I keep perfect score. People will say,"Oh Steve, thank you, send more." And you will not be worried because they're not seeing you. Because you know that if you're faithful to do what I call you to, I keep perfect score, and the blessing and reward will also be yours.</p>Steve Kubantag:stevekuban.com,2005:Post/55856452018-03-24T00:05:00-04:002021-01-08T13:40:45-05:00Let Go of the Arrow<p><a contents="" data-link-label="Home" data-link-type="page" href="/home" target="_blank"><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/234369/d293b9a2a2dc45eaca8db9b04ad8da092965ca3a/original/screen-shot-2019-01-08-at-12-00-59-am.png/!!/undefined/b:W1sic2l6ZSIsImxhcmdlIl1d.png" class="size_xl justify_center border_" /></a>(Note: Be sure to watch the video below which has the entire prophecy spelled out. Click on “CC” and the words will appear.) </p>
<p>The LORD YHVH gave me an interesting and encouraging word of personal prophecy this morning about using my musical gifts for Him, and it came to me in the image of “shooting arrows.” As a child I began using a bow to shoot arrows from age 6, doing target practice and then hunting wild game birds (grouse), and YHVH used this image and memory to greatly encourage me this morning to stop being afraid to use my gifts for Him. </p>
<p>Today is Shabbat, and as is my usual practice, I set the entire day apart for Him. In the morning before getting out of bed, I lift my hands upward to Him and pray, dedicating myself and this special day for His purposes. </p>
<p>This morning, however, as I lifted my hands and prayed, I was struck by the thought of how many times in the past I've wasted valuable time just "doing my own thing," instead of focusing and intently doing HIS WILL with the precious day and the precious hours. </p>
<p>I wept, and asked Him to forgive me for wasting so much valuable time where I could have been making music, recording songs, and doing other things that have eternal value, rather than just 'doing my own thing.' Especially on Shabbat. </p>
<p>Last night as was going to bed, I viewed a YouTube video of a man in India who had been born without arms. He was amazing to watch. He ate, using his feet to bring food from the plate to his mouth. He worked industriously as a tailor, threading sewing needles with his feet and operating his sewing machine! He measured clients stretching out a measuring tape between his two feet to get their exact sizes, and then custom-made their suits and dresses! Wow, can you imagine? Amazing! This man was doing the best with what he had, and he was doing an amazing job at it. I was very inspired. </p>
<p>So as I awoke this morning and pondered how to use my life and talents for God, I became acutely aware of how MUCH God has given to me, especially my God-given musical talent to play music by ear, and to create songs spontaneously on the keyboard that genuinely touch people's lives. Add to this the amazing spiritual anointing He has given to me, to create songs and music that help people receive healing, victory and deliverance in His Mighty Names Jesus, Yeshua, Jehovah, and YHVH. Whenever I sit down at my keyboard and begin playing, incredible music just flows out. It’s an amazing gift from God — a gift that everyone, even kings and millionaires, could wish for, but a gift that can never be bought with money or desire. I asked myself, “Am I using what He has given me, to the best of my ability?” And I thought about that man in India, who had no arms, yet look what he was able to do! And I suddenly felt shame, because I knew I wasn’t doing my best with ALL that God has given me. </p>
<p>Then I thought about the Yamaha Tyros 5 Arranger Keyboard He gave me, where every song I play sounds like an incredible orchestra or live band playing, and it even adds vocal harmonies to my voice to make me sound like a duet, a trio, a jazz quartet, or even an entire choir all at once. Unbelievable what technology can do today. So my talent is a gift from God, and this keyboard is a gift from God, and they have both been created to make beautiful music for God! </p>
<p>And I realized: "What kind of a treasure is this that God has given me? This ability to play and create such amazing music? And to have this kind of equipment to do it?" Truly it is a treasure from heaven, contained in this earthen vessel of my hands, lips, voice and mind. </p>
<p>Then I considered some of the songs He has brought forth through me over the years, spontaneously, in just a few moments of time, that became very powerful songs of healing, victory and deliverance in His name to people, like "For the LORD is My Tower", "Hallowed Be Thy Name", and "I Will Fight For You." These all came to me in mere moments of inspiration, as I played my keyboard or guitar simply worshiping the Lord. What amazing fruit that came from just a few moments of well-spent time. </p>
<p>As I thought about these things, I began to sense Him speaking to my spirit prophetically. I saw in my spirit a vision of a man holding a bow and arrow, pulling it back....but hesitating to let it go, because he was afraid he might miss the bulls-eye. And I realized that was me! </p>
<p>I began to speak out loud and record the personal prophecy, and quickly the Lord revealed to me ways in which I am like that man who has pulled the bow back, but is hesitant to release the arrow, for fear that he may miss the target or bulls-eye. (As you listen to this prophecy, perhaps the Lord will speak similarly to you about areas in your own life, where your fears and inhibitions of ‘missing the mark’ may have caused you to be hesitant to ‘release the arrow’.) </p>
<p>In my case, for many years I used to play and record songs every single day, using a simple and inexpensive electric piano, a Yamaha “Portable Electric Grand” model DGX-230, which costs about $250). Despite it’s low price, it was easy to use. It had a modest selection of beats and sounds accessible through 50 buttons, which enabled me to ‘get into the spirit’ while playing, and focus on manifesting what was accurate prophetically and musically (that is, I could focus on singing and playing what God wants, rather than worry about the technical aspects of the keyboard). </p>
<p>Then 18 months ago, the Lord gave me a big promotion: He provided a very powerful and capable musical arranger keyboard, the Yamaha Tyros 5. It can do ten times more than my simple keyboard could ever dream of doing. But I have found that since getting this new keyboard, I have not played and recorded as often. Why? Because it’s a huge complex keyboard created and designed for professional musicians. It has about 200 buttons (compared to my previous one that had 50 buttons), and requires a much higher degree of technical excellence to use, especially live. And because it has thousands of different sounds, beats variations and advanced features, it’s quite easy to make a mistake while playing and touch a wrong button. In short, it’s intimidating. It’s like flying a jumbo jet when, for a long time, I was used to flying a small private plane. It’s bigger, faster, more powerful...and carries a lot more passengers. And it’s a weapon, like a fighter jet. That’s a BIG step up beyond a Cessna private plane. And this causes me to be reluctant to get in the cockpit and fly. I’ve become someone who has a powerful bow and arrow, who pulls back, but is afraid to ‘release’ that arrow, for fear that he might miss the mark. </p>
<p>But this morning, the Lord reminded me that when we pull the arrow back, it’s better to release the arrow, even if we miss the bulls-eye, because that way we can see where our aim is ‘off target’, and can thereby get better and closer to the target, by observing how and where we missed the mark! What a liberating and encouraging word! </p>
<p>Here is what I heard Him speak to me: </p>
<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HHOs9rkz3os" width="560"></iframe></p>
<p>My son, if you don't let go of the arrow, it won't do any good. But it is important to aim before you let go. I say unto you, sometimes you're so afraid of missing the mark, of not getting the bull's-eye, that you don't let go of the arrow. My son, when you let go of the arrow, even if you don't hit the mark, at least you'll see where that arrow ends up to be, and you'll be able to adjust your means and your ways. If 'every year you have', is one arrow, I give to you many. But let them go. Aim the best you can, and let it go. And then when it hits, you'll know how better to aim the next arrow. And you will hit the bull's-eye. </p>
<p>Aim for the mark that is Yeshua. Fix your eyes on him, the Author and the Finisher of your faith. And get to work. I'll give you a good supply of arrows to fly, to do your work for Adonai, Elohim, YHVH, El Shaddai, El Elyon on high. </p>
<p>For indeed, these are your hands that I've given to you. This is your voice that I have given to you. This is your mind-tool that I've given you. And this is my Ruach, which is the anointing. Because it's not by your might, nor is it by your power, but it is accomplished by my Spirit, saith YHVH Tseva'ot.Every day have confidence that my will shall be done, as you yield to me, and honor my Son. </p>
<p>I have said so many things to you, about what you should do. And yet sometimes you hold 'on-to', and you never let that arrow go. Well my son, declare today: "No! No longer!" No longer shall you hold on to these arrows. No longer shall you be susceptible to the fear of missing the mark. Your goal is to hit the mark. And the arrows will help you to fine-tune your view. </p>
<p>I say unto you, my son: You are a weapon — my weapon that I will work through. And many will be rescued from darkness and hell, because you held the bow well, and you let go of the arrow. It is a sword, as my Word. And my Word shall be effective in you. For my Word shall not return back to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I've sent it to do. For my Word is indeed my arrow to accomplish my will. </p>
<p>My son, when one has been in an accident and is laying in bed, unable to walk for a season, their muscles atrophy. And then they have to be rehabilitated, and it must be done gradually, otherwise they will injure their legs and their knees. Their muscles have to get strength gradually. </p>
<p>I say unto you: Yes, you're out of practice. Yes, you are at the helm of the ship that you know not very much about, its capability, nor even its instruments. But you DO know how to fly my son, you DO know how to walk. And I will cause you to be rehabilitated, and your muscles to be strengthened. I will cause your ear to be tuned to what I say, and to what I play, and it shall come forth to your fingers, and your lips. </p>
<p>My son, focus on this: What I've told you to do, DO. Don't ask, just do. Just do. Just do! Send out your emails. Accept your friends. Don't waste a lot of time. Enlarge your support base and fan base. Because every ear is an ear that I want to be able to hear, for my glory, says YHVH, LORD Tsave'ot. </p>
<p>Make the best of what you have. There's no point waiting and waiting and waiting for the perfect studio or perfect environment. There's no use waiting and waiting, because in waiting you don't let the arrow go. But rather get up off the bed and walk. Sit down and play. </p>
<p>My son, you "don't have the anointing," you say? to come forth from a perfect song from YHVH? Well, sing and play anyway, and you'll be amazed at what will come forth from YHVH. Many times because you're out of practice, you don't want to even begin the process of writing new songs from my Word. Well then, my son, go ahead and sing an old one. At least let the pump be primed. Because I will use you, and I will bring forth my songs line by line. </p>
<p>This instrument will require proficiency and excellency and knowledge. The instrument that you had before, which you used day after day, more and more, it didn't have nearly the capabilities of this. But you used it, and out came mighty songs of healing, victory and deliverance. My son just have confidence that as you play this instrument you will learn more and more. You will learn what to do and what not to do, and you will explore as you do. Imagine how "Jeremiah One" came alive to you. How much more so with this mighty weapon of war! </p>
<p>I give you this promise my son: your dad and mom gave you instruments that became doors to great things. And I'm your heavenly Father, and I give you this instrument and I give you these hands, and these lips, this voice, and the anointing of my Ruach. And I give you my Word poured into you, planted into you, sown into you, to bring forth! And all of this shall be for my glory, says YHVH Tsave'ot, in the power of the Ruach HaKodesh – to lift up the name of Yeshua, that the world might be changed and saved. </p>
<p>My daughter, you're going to get better and better. You're going to get better and better at what you do, and the excitement is going to overwhelm you and overcome you, when you begin to see thousands of people that will view what my son does, and they're seeing it because of you. This excitement will gain hold, and will cause you to take more seriously than ever before the divine injunction, yea my commandment, that you publish this Good News to the world. And the blessing will come, my children, rest assured. Because when you do the will of YHVH, it's my good pleasure to open Heaven's doors.</p>Steve Kubantag:stevekuban.com,2005:Post/54579872017-01-20T17:05:00-05:002018-10-20T00:34:06-04:00Prophecy for America (Inauguration Jan2017) ~by Dr. Steve Kuban<ol> <li>

<p>This is my first time to write in my journal for 2016. Today the LORD spoke another very powerful word to me prophetically, and also to Cassandra. Today is her birthday! </p>
<p>As we begin 2016, on this very special day, Cassandra's birthday, I want to say THANK YOU, LORD, for calling Cassandra to Yourself. You have always had a very special plan for your daughter, and I'm truly amazed to think that in Your divine love and foreknowledge, you ordained for us to meet for the first time at a 24-hour praise and worship gathering years ago, and spoke to her so clearly of your plan and purpose. Holy Spirit, when I was deaf to Your voice — for I know, that had I been able to receive Your word, I surely would have, but alas I wasn't ready. And thus the long period of time where she had to hold it silently in her heart, with many tears, until such time as You brought forth and ordered all things to unite us, and ‘woke me up’ to the Voice of Destiny that was calling! You ordained my steps, and her steps, so that the day would come when we would serve you together as husband and wife, a team united in heart and passion, purpose and focus, to proclaim Your Name to the world and take true worship to the nations! </p>
<p>THANK YOU precious LORD, for Cassandra Kuban! </p>
<p>To my beloved wife, Cassandra: I pray for you, and wish for you, my dear, every longing of your heart to be filled with Him! Every passion of your life to be satisfied fully in Him. Every dream He has given you, to be realized in this lifetime! And for whichever of those dreams which may yet remain unfulfilled when your mission on this earth is over, to be ultimately realized in Him in Heaven and Eternity! HAPPY BIRTHDAY darling! I love you! </p>
<p>As we begin this new year: </p>
<p>The LORD has been doing a deep work in both our lives, in many ways. It's multi-faceted, with many different aspects. I can only speak for myself, but suffice to say that much of what YHVH has been doing in me, He is also simultaneously doing in her. </p>
<p>About September 2014 (15 months ago) the LORD began speaking to Cassandra through prophecy that He was preparing to join her heart to Israel. This was a confirmation to her. He called her to go with me to Jerusalem, and we obeyed and went together in November 2014, arriving to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the live recording of "The Lord is My Tower" (which we commemorated at Isra-Phil church with Pastora Kezia Garcia's Filipino congregation in Tel Aviv). During these ten days YHVH did a very deep work in her, and in me also, for no one who walks the streets of Jerusalem for the first time ever leaves the same. </p>
<p>Then three months later, in February 2015 (11 months ago) we went together to Israel again, to be students in Bishop Dominiquae Bierman's "Bible School on Wheels" conference. We traveled through Israel, even standing at the border of the Golan Heights blowing shofars and looking across into Syria. Then we found ourselves in the middle of a big snowstorm stuck in Jerusalem on Shabbat! (YHVH has a powerful way to get our attention and hold us still, so we can hear Him!) It was then, through these times, that YHVH, put a huge "hook" into our hearts and drew us both deeply into an understanding of our Hebrew roots. (I had previously sat under Bishop Dominiquae's teaching beginning in 2005 when I first met her in Queens, New York, and then toured Israel together with Bishop Arnold Cabalquinto's group and his group). That was the beginning for me, personally, of this very special journey of learning about my Jewish roots, of what it means to truly be 'grafted in' to Israel.) </p>
<p>But it was during the "Bible School on Wheels" conference in February 2015 that YHVH did a DEEP work in both of our hearts and lives. Having "fallen in love" with Jerusalem about three months earlier (Cassandra and I had spent about 14 days, almost all of them in Jerusalem, other than the concert in Tel Aviv), now YHVH began a deep work in our hearts through Bishop Dominiquae's teaching. It was explosive and life-changing! We learned much about Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah. We learned about the LORD's's personal name, YHVH. We learned about Torah (the Law), and about the importance of our Jewish roots and Hebrew foundations. We learned about the tragic expulsion of all things Jewish that was done by the early Catholic Church, especially from the Council of Nicene forward, that effectively divorced "Christianity" from its Jewish roots, and the Jewish people; and how we in these last days are called to bring about restoration of our Jewish roots to the Church. We learned so very much! And this work has continued deeply in our hearts to this day. </p>
<p>In 2013 I had begun studying in much detail the Jewish Feasts. God was giving me so much revelation about their timings and purposes, and how they point to Yeshua. </p>
<p><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/234369/e6ac82599348f21440f93ac9067aac55df304357/original/screen-shot-2019-01-07-at-10-12-39-pm.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /><img src="//d10j3mvrs1suex.cloudfront.net/u/234369/8559273c83345993726cadc37c5e19eec77a444c/original/screen-shot-2019-01-07-at-10-13-10-pm.png/!!/b:W10=.png" class="size_l justify_center border_" /></p>
<p>ments and keeping His laws and statutes (Joshua 1:8). </p>
<p>So, this past 14 months has been, more than anything, a "Journey into Jewishness" for us both. And such we are still on today! And it is wonderful! </p>
<p>This has been one of the most important aspects of what's happened to us this past year and a bit, which is literally permeating our entire lives. It's truly changing us! We stopped eating pork and shrimp which (for someone who loved 'sinigang na hipon' and shrimp as much as me) has meant a big change to our eating habits. We began keeping and observing "Shabbat" from Friday at sundown till Saturday sundown. We began to understand how the Torah is God's Law, not just for the Jewish people, but it's His law for all of us today, who know and love the Jewish Messiah, Yeshua HaMashiach. And so, so many other things. When we were in Yerushalayim this last time for Sukkot (a day before the knifing of the young men in the Old City, which was the start of the intifada in Israel that is still happening as of today), I walked the streets of Jerusalem wearing a kippa (Jewish skull cap). There's a deep love in my heart for my Jewish heritage and my Jewish roots, which come through because of our Jewish Messiah Yeshua! </p>
<p>So today, we are experiencing many blessings that are coming out in our lives in ministry as an outflow of this major paradigm-shift of the past 14 months. (For me, it's been 10 years of growth in these areas, and actually 32 years of growth after my first connection with Israel through the ICEJ (Friends of the international Christian Embassy Jerusalem) from 1983 to 1985. I praise Yah for his wondrous ways of working in our lives! </p>
<p>YHVH has been deepening my calling to be a prophetic musician. This began to take deeper root in 2010, as I began to record some of our late night praise and worship sessions. As God gave me new songs, I'd record them. Many of my early prophetic video and audio files go back to 2010 in this regard. He gave me some very beautiful melodies and songs like, "I'm Calling Out to You" and "She's With You, Lord" which He birthed spontaneously the night Cassandra's mom died. </p>
<p>Then in 2012, the LORD began taking us much deeper, with many prophecies about "the Lands of the Sands." He was calling us to the Middle East! That was tough because of my travel situation, but YHVH undertook miraculously and provided the means whereby we began to go to the Islamic countries of United Arab Emirates and Qatar, then Bahrain and Kuwait. And we have kept going until this day. It's been an amazing ride! A "magic carpet" ride! Thank you LORD! </p>
<p>Then on August 10, 2012, after coming home from two months of intense ministry in Qatar and United Arab Emirates, YHVH called us to dig down deep and meet him in the mornings — every morning — for prayer and worship. I set up my camera, and a recorder — and God began giving me many very intense prophetic songs. Then He gave me the 45-minute prophetic song called "Battle School" — a warning in musical prophecy, where He took over the keyboard and began speaking and of things that would soon happen in America (He kept stressing “The lines are drawn in the SAND”— then Hurricane Sandy hit the USA) and that the devil was going to specifically target and kill ‘the women and the children’ (remember the ‘SANDY Hook’ shooting in Connecticut, where 26 women and children were murdered? This musical prophecy came before this) and spoke of other troubles that would soon come about in the Middle East (descriptions were given of things that would soon become commonplace stories in world newspapers). This prophecy was of an entirely higher level, and marks a major transition point into my prophetic ministry. </p>
<p>So from August 2012 onward we would meet Him every day, and the release of the prophetic became more and more powerful! After 100 days I heard Him say to write a book, "100 Days in His Presence" incorporating the prophecies of the first 100 days (the Lord said, "You have everything 'in the can' - meaning essentially I didn't have to 'write' anything more for the book to be done, because it was already written, through the prophecies He’d given). I’m still working to finish this, may the LORD give me grace to do so. </p>
<p>I have so much more to tell. But Cassandra is now ready to meet with the LORD, and for us to receive the "new song" He has for us today. It's very wonderful, that since December 22nd, 2015 (14 days ago) YHVH has given me powerful anointed songs every single day! (Most are 30 to 50 minutes in duration.) And Cassandra has been transcribing the words and posting the "raw" (unedited) videos on my YouTube site. It's really amazing to see how the LORD just "flows" each time I sit down to play and sing for Him. He's given me hundreds of songs since 2010, and most of them are very anointed, but what’s happening now is really a very special evidence of His love and provision (I pray I can finish and publish many of these in the days ahead! They’ll be a great blessing to so many, especially those who love the Name of Yeshua and Yahveh/Yahweh) </p>
<p>Cassandra has "grown into" her role in this ministry — she's setting up the lights (she even urged us to purchase proper studio lights), and using her new iPhone 6+ to record video. She's heard and received from YHVH that one of her roles and responsibilities is to be a modern-day Baruch, and me a Jeremiah. And now she's taken on the responsibility to be a "publisher" of these good tidings which God is bringing forth through my hands and lips (as well as the performances in various places). This is such a blessing! She's declaring—she's saying unto Zion—"Your God reigns!" and publishing these songs and prophecies to the world! Wow! May Yahveh bless her! What a great day in which to live! The technology and tools that are available to us, to send the gospel of Yeshua to the uttermost parts of the earth, is unprecedented — and we must make every effort to do so, while there is still time! </p>
<p>Since Dec. 22nd (which was the 33rd anniversary of God’s calling upon me to leave my music vocation and enter ‘full-time ministry’) Cassandra has written down and transcribed every song, in its entirety, and post them online. (And before that there were times she transcribed hundreds of prophecies YHVH gave us. We need prayer for the protection of her hands, and mine too, because with all the typing we both get sore wrists and fingers and it's very painful. There indeed is a price which we are paying in all of this!) </p>
<p>So we are both very excited at the flow of the prophetic that's taking place! Cassandra has in the past two years taken on the role of being a publisher of our many photos and videos during our travels. She has uploaded thousands of photos onto Flickr and Facebook, and taken on the role of editing my website www.SteveKuban.com. This is really wonderful. She's become a huge help to me to "Take worship to the nations". And I'm seeing her in a different light than before. I’ve often seen myself as a type of “David”, and now I see Cassandra as truly a Jonathan to me. She's so much more than 'my wife'. She's my covenant-partner, who is intensely focused so that we might both fulfill God's call and mandate upon us in our lifetime. </p>
<p>So today on January 4th, as I finish writing this first journal entry for 2016 (which is also Cassandra’s birthday), she bids me "Come" to the studio, to play and prophesy. Everything is set up, ready to go. My keyboard, the microphone, the speakers, the lights, the recorder, her camera (of course) mounted and ready...my Bible—my KJV study Bible, which I love to use, with all its informative marginal notes and Hebrew words—is in place on its stand. And the beautiful curtains of gold are all set, thanks to her! </p>
<p>As we begin 2016, on this very special day, Cassandra's birthday, I want to say THANK YOU, LORD, for calling Cassandra to Yourself. You have always had a very special plan for your daughter, and I'm truly amazed to think that in Your divine love and foreknowledge, you ordained for us to meet for the first time at a 24-hour praise and worship gathering years ago, and spoke to her so clearly of your plan and purpose. Holy Spirit, when I was deaf to Your voice — for I know, that had I been able to receive Your word, I surely would have, but alas I wasn't ready. And thus the long period of time where she had to hold it silently in her heart, with many tears, until such time as You brought forth and ordered all things to unite us, and ‘woke me up’ to the Voice of Destiny that was calling! You ordained my steps, and her steps, so that the day would come when we would serve you together as husband and wife, a team united in heart and passion, purpose and focus, to proclaim Your Name to the world and take true worship to the nations! </p>
<p>THANK YOU precious LORD, for Cassandra Kuban! </p>
<p>You spoke prophetically this morning that everything of the past (which served its purpose to propel and lift me higher, like a booster rocket, into your Destiny for my life) I must relinquish and allow to fall away. For if the booster-rockets that lift the rocketship are not jettisoned immediately after they have finished their portion of the mission, it will drag the rocketship back down crashing on earth, and destroy the entire mission. So LORD, I say thank You for everything in my past that you so graciously used. Thank you for every person — they are also bless-ed in my heart, and I am so grateful for each and everyone. And today I say, "THANK YOU for Cassandra!" whom You have used to aid and rescue me in my waywardness (and often meandering journeyings). This unity of spirit and purpose — this drive and delight that you have put in both of our hearts, separately and yet together — propels us skyward, and also draws us Heavenward, toward the Mark of our High Calling in Yeshua HaMashiach, Whom we both love so dearly and seek to serve faithfully. </p>
<p>This unity comes from you, O LORD! May we treasure this! And may we guard carefully this well-spring of life that you have so graciously given us, knowing that out of our hearts spring forth the issues of life. Father, LORD Yeshua, my Love forever, I pray you will make this day as special as it can be for Cassandra! Thank You for creating her "just the way she is" (and so beautiful! Indeed, I'm not worthy LORD of such beauty!). May you fulfill her dreams and desires to be evermore united with you, Father, Yeshua, in Your Holy Spirit's power — so that she can fulfill her days and her mission given by You. Together we lay our all on the altar! — that we might be worthy vessels of the High Calling which you have ordained for each of us in your foreknowledge and purpose. </p>
<p>To my beloved wife, Cassandra: I pray for you, and wish for you, my dear, every longing of your heart to be filled with Him! Every passion of your life to be satisfied fully in Him. Every dream He has given you, to be realized in this lifetime! And for whichever of those dreams (like Abraham's city) which may yet remain unfulfilled when your mission on this earth is over, to be ultimately realized in Him in Heaven and Eternity! HAPPY BIRTHDAY darling! I love you!</p>Steve Kuban
