The Invisible Thread: Going Where No Man Has Gone Before

By Pastor Lorraine Davis

If you have ever wondered what the covenant is about and how we can apply it to our daily lives, this is a good instruction manual. The Invisible Thread will help you understand who you are, who God says you are, and how to apply the promises He gave to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, David, and to us through the extravagant love-filled covenant of promise through the blood of Yeshua. I am a prophetic dreamer with many illustrations of the covenant in action through my own life.

About the Author

The Invisible Thread from Holy Spirit is dedicated to my parents who continuously encouraged hard work and have a relationship with our Creator. Daddy passed away exactly forty-one years ago. Mom went to be with Yeshua just recently at ninety-four. Over their lifetime, they raised up four ministers who serve the Lord in various ministries.

This book recognizes the love-filled blood covenant given in the beginning and how we can access the tools of the covenant relationship. A very easy read while learning more about ourselves in the process. "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which thou know not" (Jeremiah 33:3 KJV).

Manuscript Notation

In the manuscript, the name of our heavenly Father has been changed from the Lord to His Hebrew personal name, Yahovah. The name of God, which is a title, has been changed when referring to the attribute of Creator, Elohim. The name of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, has been also stated as His Hebrew name, Yeshua or Yeshua Ha Messiah. The name Jesus or Yeshua and God or Lord are used interchangeably. This includes scriptures where quoting Satan's name is never capitalized unless at the beginning of a sentence.

In Elohim is my salvation and my glory; The rock of my strength, And my refuge, is in Elohim. (Psalm 62:7 NKJV)

Preface

After spending eighteen days in the hospital, ten on the respirator, my whole perspective on heaven, relationship, and Yahovah's kingdom changed. I saw things from His view and not always from the earth's natural circumstances. Dying can change a great deal of your thinking!

I had written a couple of books; wanting to write another book I needed a title. My younger brother Bob suggested The Invisible Thread. It immediately drew me into the underlying concept of the scarlet cord of Rahab in Joshua 2:18. I began to write what was on my heart. The Holy Spirt began to give me unction. The covenant has always appealed to my love of biblical history, as well as understanding how to apply the principles in daily living. The invisible thread of love, blood covenant, and redemption all come together in searchable mysteries of the Holy Word of God.

I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart, And watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when I am corrected. The Just Live by Faith. Then Yahovah answered me and said: Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. (Habakkuk 2:1–2 NKJV)

Introduction

Before the dawn of creation, there has always been an invisible thread that connects us with our Creator. His plan existed before He threw out the stars, called into existence a planet for humanity to live on or a promise lasting as long as seed time and harvest. Yahovah started a process whereby we can absolutely depend on Him for every possible need, desire or provision called a love-filled blood covenant. His covenant has given us tools, gifts, benefits, and provisions. When we fully understand what has been secured for us, we cannot just survive but thrive in the attributes of His everlasting love. God's extravagant unending love invites us, His creation, to participate in a dance in His love affair with us.

Open my eyes, that I may see wondrous things from Your law. (Psalm 119:18 NKJV)

Who Are We

Yahovah's love created us with a plan in place, building, trusting He can and will always have our best at His heart and the best for ours. The only way we can learn to trust His love is reading His Word, spending quality time with Him, living faithfully by listening to Holy Spirit. He continually gives us guidance and instruction. If we are accepted in the beloved as in Ephesians 1:6, then it is our duty, obligation, and love journey to find what our path is. Psalm 139:16 NKJV says in essence, He already knows us. It's in His book. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.

The Passion Translation (TPT) says it even more plainly. You saw who you created me to be before I became me! Before I'd ever seen the light of day, the number of days you planned for me was already recorded in your book (Psalm 139:16). I heard one teacher say in the womb, God's own fingers are shaping our being to be what His love desires for us. He writes it in a book for each of us. We are not an accident but a part of His eternal plan for our lives. I heard Yeshua once tell me He has sent many prophets, teachers, preachers, scientists, and world leaders to have them aborted before their assignments could be filled. The adversary devised the evil destroying our youth. World policies, unethical education programs, and weak religious teaching have given the enemy an open door to intentionally damage the kingdom of God. God has a plan, but He gave dominion to man who has taken our authority, using it to fulfill the challenger of the faith's evil strategy. Man is the key. He either submits to God or succumbs to the designs of the enemy.

During the extended time spent in the hospital, the verse in Psalm 139:16 kept going over and over in my mind. One learns just how vulnerable and tenuous or fragile life can be, recognizing the value of every breath, every moment His grace stretches, giving another day to live. He gave me back life. I was given five medications; each separately could have caused death. I died. But God had other plans. This is no wasted life. We have such amazing grace in a relationship fulfilling, intimate, and definitely full of life, love, and abundant blessing. We are in covenant relationship with our King/Creator. As I lay absolutely helpless, not able to move even a finger or to speak above a whisper, I did not know where I was, how I got there or why.

Yahovah began to speak to me in an audible voice. He said He had birthed me for an assignment. I ask, You mean like Sarah and Mary?

His laughing response was Well, not exactly. He explained to me this assignment was one only I could do. When it came time, I would know what it was and what to do. I drifted back to sleep once again into the paralytic coma quiet I had been in for ten days.

While still in the hospital, days later, I remember being in His presence, feeling the wind in my hair as I traveled the universe with the Creator. I saw things in space I had never seen in books, movies, or my well-used imagination. We had several conversations where I asked hard questions; He indulged me with answers. I started to leave this experience out; but recently, at 2:00 a.m., I was once again in His presence. I asked about the book. He told me I had left things out that needed to be added. "Remind my children, I made the universe to share spiritually with my family. Like Spock on the USS Enterprise as he looks out the forward observation window and asked Captain Kirk, Where do we go? His response was the same as Elohim's. Out there, where no man has gone before. Engage. His finger pointed outward toward the window. We limit ourselves to the few feet of ground under our feet, thinking it's all there is. Not so. He told me He wants to share His universe. Be creative in your imagination." Our creative God gave us His Creativity.

Yahovah told Abram to look up and count the stars; Abram looked up at those same stars, planets, and immense space. The scene hasn't changed, but our perspective of the vastness of it all has. We can sit on the Master's shoulder, feel the wind in our hair, travel the universe of creative ideas, begin to experience the bigness of our God. I believe He would have us enjoy our relationship not just don't, don't, don't.

My first nights actually awake from the coma, I had the same dream two consecutive nights. I dreamed a small leafy plant I helped plant grew. When I turned around, it became a whole field full of plants as far as the eye could see. As I walked away from the garden, I was suddenly attacked by a being with a thousand eyes. Somehow I gathered up the corners of the sky and flung the whole thing into outer space and declared, I belonged to Yeshua Ha Messiah, and you [the being] had no right or authority in my life. The first night I believe there was an actual battle in the spirit, but I didn't have the strength to understand. The second night, I acknowledged my authority and acted.

I had several more encounters with Yahovah in the nights following. Some of which were as real as my car in the driveway. I know without a shadow of a doubt, He was teaching me of His extravagant, magnificent love, relationship, and authority. I saw the universe from a whole different perspective. It was vast with planets, stars, and cosmic movements; it was His playground. I heard Him say, We have our playgrounds in our dimension, and He has his. It has changed my life dramatically. I preached Lazarus and I have a lot in common: we both rose from the dead, we went about telling everyone, and we were never the same again.

Too many in today's world spend time in church but little time in the presence of the Creator. Our time in His Word is more valuable than the air we breathe. Church buildings are not what make an ecclesia or the governing body on the earth. The family of God is a living entity; when in agreement, will move mountains, bring justice in the courts of heaven, and deliver healing where only the Great Physician can operate.

I once had a dream of being cowered down behind a large rock in a major battle. I was waiting for my next order. Suddenly, a captain I did not recognize in the early dawn came up beside me. I stated I did not recognize Him, to which he responded, You know me, I am Captain Victory. Just press in a little harder. Listening to our Captain gives us assurance, He is listening to our every prayer, waiting and willing to answer our requests.

Yeshua can be found throughout the Scriptures by recognizing He existed before time. History places Him in a two-thousand-year-old story as a baby, a young man of twelve, and finally a short ministry. His twelve disciples didn't fully understand who was walking, talking, and leading them.

The pattern of the tabernacle with the sacrifices, atonement, and blood shout out the pattern of redemption. Sacrifices had to be repeated daily and yearly. The blood of Yeshua provided a one time everlasting experience of redemption, grace, and hope. Even some church members have a hard time believing the Son of everlasting God came to earth to be as we are, to live as we do, undergoing the same temptations, experiencing humanity. His humanity gave Yeshua knowledge to understand our whole lifetime of temptations, emotions, grief, and disappointments. He took His own blood into the Holy of Holies. The unsurpassed value paid it all—it is finished!

To understand the implications of the term it is finished one must look at both the Hebrew/Aramaic and Greek words. Since the return from Babylon nearly one thousand years earlier, most Jews spoke Aramaic. The Hebrew word pronounced kalah (Strong's word 3615) defines the action Yeshua shouted at His death. It is finished, accomplished as planned, debt legally paid in full. As Yahovah finished (kalah 3615) creation in Genesis 2:1–2, Yeshua finished or completed the redemptive plan.

The whole chapter of Psalm 22 was prophetically written of His death by King David. Over Yeshua's head was written a sign in Aramaic which stated Yeshua Hanozri Wumelech a Yehudim, which is YHVH—Yeshua, the Nazarene, King of the Jews. Another words, Yahovah's Son in the flesh was on the cross giving His life for ours. (W is pronounced as V in Aramaic and Hebrew.)

Yeshua completed, kalal, accomplished all he was sent to do. The Greek word tetelestia (Strong's word 5055) finished the task, goal, or purpose of the plan created pre-man. It is finished!

Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My life that I may take it again. No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This command I have received from My Father. (John 10:17–18 NKJV)

For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My [own] life so that I may take it back. No one takes it away from Me, but I lay it down voluntarily. I am authorized and have power to lay it down and to give it up, and I am authorized and have power to take it back. This command I have received from My Father. (John 10:17–18 AMP)

Isaiah 52:13–15 (KJV) declares there would come one who would die, and they would finally see the plan established and revealed from the beginning in Genesis 3:15, "And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel."

Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high. As many were astounded at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men: So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider. (Isaiah 52:13–15)
