"Separation, Distinction and Portion" - Christine Beadsworth

The tip of spear is part of the whole spearhead, so although it passes through
an area as a forerunner, the rest of the spear passing through that same area
impacts the tip. If there is turbulence as the main part of spear head passes
thru, the tip will feel it. In the same way, although some of us have celebrated
the beginning of the Fall Feasts, the rest of the spearhead following the
orthodox calendar will be marking them towards the end of September, and
we are still connected to them as part of the faithful remnant. I believe the
Spirit of the Lord needed a forerunner company who were willing to step out
in faith according to what they believed and move ahead of the rest of the
remnant, even if it meant they were out of sync with the majority of the
spearhead throughout the last 6 months of 5782.
God needs courageous forerunners who will be willing to be unpopular, while
being obedient to what the Spirit is showing them personally. The two spies
who went into the Promised Land ahead of the rest waiting on the other side
of the Jordan were exposed to more revelation and information that the rest
of the people of God did not see or hear – and they were doing it on behalf of
the whole company. In the same way, the tip of the spear pierces through veils
and boundaries, cutting a path and opening the way for the rest of the
spearhead to follow in.
Do you remember the Lord speaking to me some time during 5781 about the
door to the Bridal Chamber closing. At the time, I knew the Lord was
connecting this event to the parable of the wise and foolish virgins; the wise
and foolish ‘Bethulah’ in Matthew 25. However, because of the Lord taking a
group as the ‘tip of the spear’ and marking the Feast of Trumpets a month
earlier than the orthodox Jewish Calendar, I have had questions as to how this
closing of the door applied and when it would take place.
Firstly, I want to suggest to you that this is what this early Feast of Trumpets
celebration has been about. The tip of the spear is sharp and penetrates the
target before the rest of the spear head – and even then, not the whole
spearhead penetrates the target but only a portion is hidden. Up to half of the
whole spear head remains clearly visible and exposed and shakes along with
the shaft of the spear. Early celebration of the Feast of Trumpets means early
preparation of the heart; getting our inner hearts rightly aligned to His
plumbline of holiness and receiving of endtime mandates ahead of the
company following on behind. It provides distinction and orientation;
movement out of a larger company into a smaller company with a specific
calling. There is a smaller company who needed to go ahead of the bulk of the
remnant, in order to be assigned to their specific roles and endtime mandates
BEFORE the larger company came to their Fall Feast appointment.
Now, we need to refresh our memories concerning the types and shadows in
the ancient Jewish wedding ceremony. Once betrothal had taken place the
bride would wear a veil (indicating separation unto the prospective
bridegroom in holiness) and would focus upon getting herself fully ready for
the big day. The bridegroom would leave the betrothal ceremony and go
immediately to prepare and build a place attached to his father’s home. This
room would be the bridal chamber and only once the father decided it was
ready and done to his satisfaction, would he release his son to go and get his
bride.
So, the almost ‘completely ready’ betrothed woman would put a lamp in the
window to signify she was watching for her beloved’s coming. She did not
know the exact day or hour in which he would arrive. Then, at midnight on the
appointed day (remember the Jewish day starts at 6pm), the friend of the
bridegroom would blow a shofar very loudly to awaken the betrothed woman,
alerting her that the bridegroom was on his way and she should go out to meet
him. She would awaken, do the last-minute things (like fill her lamp and trim
the wick) and leave her father’s house with her bridesmaids to spend the last
