Sad estate of the modern Prophet and eschatology

Yes modern Christianity has been hijacked and has become as ineffective as the Jews in the time of Christ. They are not entering the Kingdom, nor are they allowing those to enter who are trying to do so. Mt 23.13

 

For even John the baptist asked “are you the Coming One or do we seek another.” And Jesus could have gone through a discourse of His 2nd coming and define the supposed raptures and resurrections and 7 year tribulation or whatever you see as the kingdom come and a future coming one to save and resurrect you but instead He said “Go tell John what you see” Then He describes of those who see hear walk and are resurrected then. But He must come again to do that?

 

It is the basic tenants of your faith that you announced at your baptism that you go into the water to put off the old person to be resurrected, raised up new “in Christ”  that you  now deny?

 

But our Lord has come! Hosanna, Oh Lord save now! Blessed is He who comes in the name of he Lord!” Whom are you seeking?

 

We have forward  speaking prophets that are proclaiming a 2nd coming, and another  resurrection and another kingdom to come, but the message was and still is “The Kingdom of God is at hand”.  This is that which was from the beginning. That which we have heard and handled, for we speak what we have heard and testify what we see.  

 

The false forward speaking prophets being naked and unashamed, show their ignorance and  spread confusion and lies and disruption to the body of Christ in our day by speaking of another coming one. Who authored that? The law and the prophets were till Christ. The scriptures having been fulfilled then, now we can only speak of the accomplishments of Him who said “it is done”.   For the law and the prophets were till John, now men are pressing into the Kingdom.
The prophets of old spoke forward of a coming one and the prophets of our day should be speaking of Him who came. The law and the prophets were finished with John. Jesus having fulfilled them need not fulfill them again
Even Jesus said these words to His disciples “there are some standing here today who will not taste death till they see the Son of man Coming in His Kingdom, see the Kingdom of God present with power.  Christ is not just being manifest at a 1st and 2nd coming. That is the conclusion of all the visual seekers but He says “I stand at the door and knock” Who is opening? Who is listening?
They say in their hearts “He has a second coming after certain events” of which these always change to fit the carnal fascination of the day. When the truth is He has come for some and they have received it like those of the day like Peter, “We were eye witnesses of His majesty when we made known to you the coming of our Lord”.
And it is not as though if we see Him we would be a better believer for even Peter having said these words said to us; but you have the prophetic word which is more sure than what we heard, and you do well to pay attention to it as a light that shines in a dark place till the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. This is where and how the Lord is coming for He does not come with observation for the Kingdom of God is within you (Luke 17. 20+)
It is “He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and the Lord of lords who alone has immortality dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To whom be honor and everlasting power. AMEN! (1 Tim 6.15+)

Creation serves God

Posted on July 26, 2014 by ADMIN

Just as it is commonly thought that the gifts of Christ are actuated at a second coming, so too with the wrath of God.  But Romans 1..18 says that “the wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness. The wrath of God is not so much  a physical place as it is a spiritual reality. Although it can manifest at a place of time and matter, but it is more so the condition of the inner man.

In Ephesians 2 Paul talks about how we were children of wrath but when the grace of God appeared (not to the eyes) He quickened us. He gave us a new spiritual address. Instead of being a subject to the “prince of the power of the air, He made us alive in Christ.

In our being made alive our quickening,  even creation itself changes its disposition towards us. When the Israelite’s came out of Egypt it was through water they were saved and it was the same water that was a burning judgment from God on those who chased them down.

Of this new way creation served them like at Passover, when the angel of death passed over the Israelite’s picturing the first born of God, it killed the first born of Egypt. The same thing that kills makes alive depending on your spiritual location or disposition..

So we see too with the quail. Numbers 11.31 31 Now a wind went out from the Lord, and it brought quail from the sea and left them fluttering near the camp, about a day’s journey on this side and about a day’s journey on the other side, all around the camp, and about two cubits above the surface of the ground.”

The very sea that produced living things with fins and gills brought forth birds to feed His people. So too with the rock Moses smote for water. The creation itself in that way was renewed serving the new man in a different way

You can be in the form of a man and think it not strange to be equal with God (Phil 2.5) and you can likewise be in outer darkness gnashing your teeth in hatred like those who despise the testimony of  Christ    Your man can be on planet earth but in what is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt where our Lord was slain. (Rev 11.8) Physically it was Jerusalem.

So the Lord uses the physical for us to understand what we can’t otherwise see, and He appears at will for He is not subject to time and matter. The time delay is for us to grow in understanding. This is the age of salvation but there is coming an end where “time will be no more (Rev 10.6) and when it will be said …

Rev 22. 11 11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous[a] still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”

This is the age of grace. and what you become of it with your free will. What you receive in the spirit is your reward. Be it according to your faith. if you are able to receive.

To be “In Him” is your port hole into eternity. Not just a promise of a later time like in a 2nd coming but now in the presence of God. This is the reconciliation to the Father now. (Rom 5.11 and 2 Cor 5.18-21).  What you hope the 2nd coming to accomplish, has been done, “in Christ”

2 Peter 2. 9 then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment,

This being reserved in judgment is usually seen by an addictive nature. The prince of the air fuels this by taking them captive to do his will. (2 Tim 2.26)  Many people are captivated by their physical senses doing service to that which they do not see. Holding to a pattern of self destruction..

So the wrath is now and has a culmination. When that light comes on then each one shall be judged for what manner of work they’ve  done.

Be on the watch for He is coming at a time when you think not, to execute judgement and reward, and He is also coming in a way you do not suppose Him to be for He comes as a thief. Why? Be cause most people are expecting Him like the commonly taught 2nd coming. To some He is even now standing at the door knocking for Judgment begins with the house of God. And if so, what will happen to the ungodly and sinners? ( 1st Peter 4.17-18)

In My Fathers house are many dwellings

Posted on July 26, 2014 by ADMIN

Jesus Christ in John 14.2 Says ” In my Fathers house are many mansions. If it were not so I would have told you so. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will Come Again and receive you to myself, that where I am you may be also.

And this He did. The mansion with the rooms were already there. The preparation was His word. This was accomplished by the word of God as was the first creation. Jesus Christ who spoke the creation of time and matter, spoke these words to the Father.John 17. I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word;21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. 22 And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: 23 I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me”.

These are the words of the new creation, if you are able to receive it. Just as certain as when He said “let there be light” and there was. So He too spoke saying “that they (meaning us) may be one as we are one”.

This is what it means to be “in Christ”. And as He said “I go to prepare a place for you”. And He did too. The same voice created the physical creation by His  word. One creation for the visible, one invisible as is He.

Christ is hidden and we are hidden “In Christ” as well. This is the new creation that is the same as “when Christ who is our life is revealed then we also shall be revealed with Him in Glory”. 

We have to learn to see Him as He appears with the eyes of our understanding, as He who always was, and we have to see him as He truly is for He was a man for only a short time. But His true person is better understood from the mouth of the Father who said in Hebrews 1.8-10 But to the Son He says “Your throne Oh God is forever and ever, a scepter of righteousness is a scepter of Your Kingdom, (the eternal, always was Kingdom) You Lord in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are a work of Your hands. They (all time and matter) will perish but You remain; and they will all grow old like a garment. Like a garment You will fold them up and they will be changed. But You are (always) the same and Your years will not fail”
 
Those are words from God the Father about God the Son, ascribing all things to Him, deserving of all Glory and honor, showing that Jesus did not become something He already wasn’t in the eternals, but just that He came here and walked it out as a man, for our understanding so that we could follow Him, that “where He is we would be also”. And “Father that they may be one as We are one” And this is as much an act of faith as your first confession of faith “In Christ”.
But eternity has never been under construction. It just is. This age we live in was made in 6 days and God in Christ rested from all His works to not create like that anymore. The only construction hence forth is offspring of His Kingdom. The only thing that changed was an earthly name which came with a path change.
 
You see the old way failed. “Father if there is any other way” And having expired the earthen model called “Jerusalem” where those went up for the feasts, Christ the new and living way being not patterns and pictures and earthen articles in an earthen city of “likenesses of the Kingdom of God. Christ being in heaven now to appear on our behalf is not waiting to come back here to build something. For that carpenters son is a Son of another carpenter, God. And the building they are doing is not in heaven, and not on earth, but in your heart and mind and soul.
 
So in the old model that people were walking out by going up to the feast of at-one-ment, was what should have been taking place in their hearts. “Father that they may be at-on-ment with us that they may behold My Glory”
That is why the man Jesus said to the Jewish leaders “you are not entering the Kingdom and you are keeping out those trying to enter”. They were in old Jerusalem and never had the kingdom but just an earthen model for instructional purposes only. To to learn of the invisible never changing reality in the spirit. The carnal mind idolized those buildings and knew not God of which Christ fulfilled all the the buildings artifacts and procedures passed on by the house of Moses and the house of David which shadowed heavenly, but the body is of Christ, not a future 2nd coming kingdom.
 
As the Lord said in Isaiah 1.11+ What is the purpose of your sacrifices to Me? I have had enough!, when you come appear before Me who has required this of you to trample My courts? Bring to Me no more futile sacrifices, your sacred assemblies I cannot endure, your appointed feasts My soul hates. How the faithful city has become a harlot”. 
 
These are pretty harsh words about a model that people want to return to. Rebuild Jerusalem so God can come? There is a certain curse for those who pursue this for this is the sin of what is spiritually called Sodom. (Isaiah 1.10 + Rev 11.8)
 
Jesus instructed us to “seek the Kingdom of God”. And in Colossians 3. Paul says “being raised with Christ, seek those things that are above”. And this is done NOT by laying out a chart of a timeline of how this jesus will come back to planet earth to set up a kingdom because “like a cloak you shall fold them up, but Your years shall not fail”. Seek Him, be “In Him’ be “In Christ” Seek this. Not a coming thing as though it had not been but that which always is “the kingdom of God at hand” ever present always open to the one of faith.
 
So these wall charts plotting out Christs return on a time line is a faithless thing that at heart does not know Him.
I understand that to some it is so ingrained that Christ will come in a certain way, to see the truth will take some time. It is those who taste the new wine, some like the old better. But new wine goes in new wine skins. You must be renewed in the spirit of your mind. This is where the building project of God takes place, not on earth.
 
The eternal cannot be created for it pre-exists all creations visible and invisible.
The 6 days of creation that exist now only serve the purpose for us to receive the Kingdom that “cometh not with (carnal) observation” (Luke 17.20) That we may seek the above for as the Father said of the Son, “You Lord in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, the heavens are the work of Your hands, they will perish, You remain, like a cloak You will fold them up and they will be changed.
 
That is why Jesus said of Jerusalem “not one stone shall be left one upon another”. Not that he foresaw a coming enemy and was sad but He being God, judged and expired that idolistic concept of Himself as being the enemy.
That which detained people was taken away for Him to establish another and He became a “new and living way” to the Father. This is your salvation already accomplished. Not Him coming back to planet earth to live here. That was never the intent of God. That too is an idolistic notion that separates you from God.
For all the law and the prophets were until John the baptist, now the Kingdom is preached and all are pressing their way into it. (Luke 16.16) Are you? Or are you waiting for a 2nd coming?
In My Fathers house are many dwellings. I go and prepare a place for you. And from there, Christ had a conversation with the Father. And this is the account in John 17. 24-26
 
24 “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me, may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. 25 O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them. 
 
This is the intent of God and our call to the eternal Kingdom of God “In Christ”.
If you are “in Him”, you are in the Kingdom and you must grow into a greater reality of this truth. This is the place He prepared for you is “In Him”. And it is not that the place is new. It is the realization in your heart that is new. This is the work of God, and this is why “the Kingdom of God is at hand.

The High Priests Breastplate

Posted on July 26, 2014 by ADMIN

Caiaphas the high priest made the statement that “it is expedient that one man (speaking of Christ) should die for the people, and not only that but that He would gather together in one (in Christ) all the children of God scattered abroad.

 
This is about believers scattered about in different doctrines, beliefs and denominations. and a great truth. As He said “where two or more are gathered together in my Name there am I”, gathered “in Christ”. And as we are gathered to eternal truths that were with the father, we are gathered to something much more than a city  at a specific point in time. We are gathered to something more solid then a mountain of granite. For the form of this world passes away, so that the eternal remains. And it is not as if the eternal has to be brought down or brought back like at some 2nd coming. No it is much easier than that.
 
Deu 30.11 Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach. 12 It is not up in heaven, so that you have to ask, “Who will ascend into heaven to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 13 Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you have to ask, “Who will cross the sea to get it and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?” 14 No, the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart so you may obey it.   This is the word of faith we preach.
 
What we are gathered to are these transparent stones of truth. It is from this quarry that we are hewn. Like Peter being a living rock, we too are living stones being built, assembled, or gathered up a spiritual habitation for God.
 
 The High Priests ephod with 12 stones
 
The high priest had an ephod which was a breast plate with 12 stones positioned on the front, over his heart. And it is these 12 stones gathered together that he holds very dear. 12 is the number of tribes of Israel and the number of disciples and symbolizes the foundation of the house of God. (Rev 21) We are His house. It isn’t until the high priest puts these on that he goes into the Holy of Holies. Without them He does not enter. What he holds dear he takes into the very presence of the Father Himself. 
 
Isn’t that what Christ prayed in John 17? Father that they may be one with us? And this prayer was said by the same person who said “let there be light”? And that did not take some 2000 plus years but “it was so”. And isn’t this He who said “take up thy bed and walk”? So too in Gethsemane He spoke and prepared a place for them and us that “where I am they may be also”. This was for them and is operational for us today. This is the message. He became sin for us to become righteous “in Him” so “be ye reconciled”. Be one with. Be gathered to the Father now, be gathered to the truth. For we have such a High Priest eternal in the heavens now appearing to the Father. For this reason we can go boldly to the throne room of grace. This is a current reality of life in the spirit to all who believe. Take caution that no one rob you of this reward of faith for your heavenly Father desires this with you. This is what He paid for with His Son. He does not come back to do this.
 
You see this is the age of transformation and transfiguration. For we are being transfigured into the same full image from glory to glory by the spirit. (2 Corinthians 3.18)
 
But there are those who believe that they are left in limbo waiting for Christ to come back and do something. That they will not believe to receive. But when Christ does come back, it is not to pick up where He left off to finish a work in you as though He did something half way. For the just shall live by faith, and without faith it is impossible to please Him. For when He comes he would not save for He already did that. For when you see it, it is not of faith, for we are saved in this hope, but hope that is seen is not hope.
 
There is a coming a time when “time is no more” (Rev 10.6). That only the eternal remains (Heb 12.27). That which we have acquired in this age, that which we have received from Him we keep. This is our whole purpose to lay hold of why He laid hold of us. But what about when He comes? 
 
Revelation 22.11 He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous[e] still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.” Again, time is no more. The time we live in is to put on Christ now. This time has an end.
So if we have the notion that His work will continue later we may be found slothful stewards. For He is close at hand who judges us and His reward is with Him to give as He wills. And He wants to today. “It is the Fathers good pleasure to give us the Kingdom” But if we are looking for it with our eyes it is passing before us like the wind. This is not an event but a life style. The flesh will return to the dust like it came. The transformation of our heart, mind and soul and putting on the new body is now. If we do not put on Christ and the invisible truths about Him that are Him now, we may be found naked and ashamed when He comes to wrap up this age. For we groan within ourselves not to be unclothed but to be further clothed in immortality. This is the invisible work of the “Kingdom of God at hand”.
