Well, I got this Word, then had to immediately look it up, and was surprised at the root meaning.

I’ve heard of the food, but had not remembered the immortality part. Also, I was reminded of the perfumed small bottles of oil I got while in Israel of spikenard, lily of the valley, frankincense and myrrh.

So asking The LORD what He wanted to say and got:

“I AM setting up a very wealthy Banqueting Table for My Sons and Daughters to come feast at.

I AM wanting to share more of The Word and The Wisdom about My Word, so ask when you read, for Wisdom that comes from above.

I AM a wealthy Father, and I love to lavish My Children with gifts, just out of My Love for them.

I AM pouring out Anointings, and rubbing My Bride with oils, getting her ready for her wedding day.

I AM preparing her like Esther was perfumed, and readied to go into the king. I AM rubbing and rubbing on you and like lotion penetrates the skin softening it and making it pliable, and oil penetrates, leaving the smell of it.

I AM softening you to the work of My Spirit, that you will be pleasing to your King when He comes to make His home in you in greater measure.

Esther was rubbed with myrrh for 6 months and then other oils. Myrrh is the symbol of suffering and death.

Some of you are dying some more to your own agenda and thoughts of what life should be for you. Some are surely being rubbed with myrrh, for only then can you be raised in glory with Me.”

“And [if] we are His children, then we are His heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ sharing His inheritance with Him; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory,” Romans 8:17 AMP.

“I gave up My Glory, that you could receive salvation and healing and all that I have planned for you.

A good Father is not selfish with his children. He does not take the food off the plates of his own children to feed himself, or covet what they have for his own.

He isn’t given to partiality and stinginess. He longs to impart something of worth to his own that will endure for eternity.

I AM that Good Father and I know exactly what I AM doing. I know the beginning from the end. I know what will help you to lay down your life as I laid down Mine. I know what will build your character and what will heal your character!

Nothing will be left untouched when I AM finished. I AM the perfect Creator! You were not an after-thought! I know you inside and out.

I know you in ways no one else does. I do only what is good for you. Taste and see that The LORD is good!

I also know how to set the table and just who to set next to each other. Just like at a wedding feast you take care to set some next to others, I know who fit together and who do not.

My wisdom is wiser than the wisdom of men. I AM aligning you with those who will work together with you and bring to the table talents you had not thought of.

I can see ahead to the outcome of what I AM bringing together and Father knows best!

I AM also accurate in My Timing and will see to it that all is worked out in perfect timing and preparation for each task and each team.

Just like football teams pick new players and lineups for each year, I AM lining up teams in My Army that will be perfectly suited to bring down strongholds over cities and nations, tribes and clans.

Each Warrior is suited with the appropriate tools and weapons of warfare. So trust Me in putting it all together.

Just like a flower arrangement is made with varying colors and types of flowers, I AM assembling My Army in Troops and Teams that will destroy the ramparts of the enemy.

Apostolic Teams will go forth in Power and Glory to shake the nations. Nothing will be withheld from those who are willing to go for Us.

Prepare your hearts for battle My Love. Put on your Armor daily!

Do not forget the enemy is prowling about for whom he may devour. Do not think I will allow him the upper hand!

I know his ways and am greater and more powerful than any weapon he can bring against you.

I then saw a match striking, and what seemed like a powder keg being lit. What has been a small ember burning inside you, is nothing to what I am about to do in you!

I AM turning up the HEAT My Bride, and all that you have longed for will be fulfilled. Keep your eyes on Me!”

I was led to look up strike and some stood out :

“Now out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS and LORD OF LORDS,” Revelation 19:15-16 NKJV.

“He shall pass through the sea with affliction, and strike the waves of the sea: all the depths of the River shall dry up. Then the pride of Assyria shall be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt shall depart,” Zechariah 10:11 NKJV.

“In that day,” says The LORD,”I will strike every horse with confusion, and its rider with madness; I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness,” Zechariah 12:4 NKJV.

“And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse,” Malachi 4:6 NKJV.

“Then Paul said to him, “God will strike you, you whitewashed wall! For you sit to judge me according to the law, and do you command me to be struck contrary to the law?”” Acts 23:3 NKJV.
