In scripture God is referred to as Lord. But that was a name, or rather a title God adopted later, to teach the Israelites by way of contrasts who He is. You see in the Exodus God had this to say to Moses.

“² And God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am ^[a]the Lord. ³ I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name Lord^[b] I was not known to them.

You see the people on whom God had set His affection on, being the 12 tribes of Jacob, had drifted so far from their created purpose of being made in Gods image of ruling and reigning over their own affairs, to turn around and serve others. Someone else lorded over them.

This was not Gods original plan for His chosen but He knew this would happen. So God created a polar opposite of Himself we call Pharoh and Egypt, by which to teach them this lesson.

It was the Egyptians who applied the title “lord” for themselves to rule and reign over the Israelites, then imposed hard labor upon them, so that they would know who gives instructions and whom they serve. They lorded over them. But this was to be short lived as God had promised Abrahham. (Genesis 15.13+14)  God had His redemption plan for them “and afterwards they would “come out with great possessions”.

This was given to us in picture form for us to understand God’s act of redemption we get through the good news of His Son. As we always say, scripture is given to make visible invisible lessons and realities of God in Christ Jesus, so that we may know clearly know who our Father is and in whose image we are redeemed to reflect through these understandings. For even in the time of Moses, the priests and Levites were instructed “that his heart may not ^[e]be lifted above his brethren. (Deuteronomy 17.20)

We then as the elect, pictured as the sons/offspring of Abraham, need to know this lesson clearly and understand why our Heavenly Father didn’t relate to the them by the title “Lord” before their bondage in Egypt. Why? Because He doesn’t want you to be lorded over. Our Father wants us seated side by side with Him, and not looking down on us. For this reason Paul said, be ye reconciled to the father.

You see Paul in the book of Galatians said that “a slave (someone who serves a lord) differeth not at all from an heir, but is under guardians and tutors until time appointed of the father”. For if you are serving God as Lord, at what point do you become an heir and partake of the fullness of the father? And when do you do the works of your Father? Not father Abraham, because he too is just a picture for us to understand our Heavenly Father in His original construct of that which is is before He ever said “let there be light”. We know this as The Sabboth days rest. (Hebrews 4.1)

Even as Isaiah 52 says ““Listen to Me, you who ^[a]follow after righteousness,
You who seek the Lord:
Look to the rock from which you were hewn,
And to the hole of the pit from which you were dug. (Think of contrasts here)
² Look to Abraham your (Heavenly) father,
And to Sarah (your Heavenly Mother) who bore you:” as pictures of your Invisible Parents.

The Elect are those who put off the analogies and return to our God given purpose “seated with Him in the Heavens far above all principalities and powers” (Eph2.8) to rule and reign with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, our only Lord and master, that doesn’t Lord it over us, but confides. What a blessedness to associate with the Father in this way.

We are not “children under guardians and tutors’ or serfs but co-heirs of the things of the Father given to us, explained in His word, for us to operate as designed as a restored and matured image of God, doing the works of The Father. Our Father who art in Heaven.

And again from Paul “I plead with you by the mercies of God. Be ye reconciled to the Father (not Lord) for He made Him who knew no sin (Jesus) to become our sin (and take into Himself the penalty for our sin in exchange) for us to become Gods righteousness (that was) in Him.”

We see here at the cross, the lightning strike of God’s judgment from Heaven we think that was aimed at us, unloaded on His own Son. He took that bolt of judgment on Himself, and through the blessed blood of Christ through the eternal spirit, He purged our sin laiden conscience, to empty us of fear, doubt, loneliness and to fill us with Himself, not for us to call Him Lord, but Abba Father. What a blessedness to know that you have nothing to give but admiration, love and dedication in return. And that’s what repent means, to turn or return. That was your first step.

We can understand by the parable of The Prodigal Son. That when he realized his demise of working with and eating with the swine. That coming to his senses.. and returning home to get his inheritance. The Father met him along the road when he saw him coming. Then returned his robe and re-assigned his portion given to him as heir and not a serf. It was here he was operating as designed. We call this the restoration and salvation being realized, being clothed and seated with the Heavenly Father.

Like He said in Deuteronomy 28. And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them.” This is the will of God for you.

It is interesting how the Egyptians who lorded over God’s people had the same agenda as modern day corporations, who are motivated by money for profits, with quotas and expect more labor for more bricks with less straw and longer days for greater profits. But “You shall not serve God and Mammon.” So you can discern which agencies serve who by what projections motivate what companies and what their end game is, to Lord it over you.

Isaiah 26 says “Other master’s we have had besides you. However we won’t make mention of their names”. And in the world their names are many and their associations are webs to trap you from what God has for you.

: Beware of what contracts, terms and conditions you accept and make sure they don’t take you away from God’s terms and conditions spelled out in His contract, signed by His Sons blood. When someone rejects God’s provisions, they don’t get the next best thing but the opposite. Don’t be found there:

You see by way of contrasts laid out in scripture, we can see who we are and who we are not, as seen with this lesson on lords. If God has made us joint heir’s of His things given to His only Begotten, and passed on to us in our understanding for our crossover, not of the Red Sea where all our enemies were pictured as drowned, and not the river Jordan where the people of that last generation were baptised. We know baptism is to associate with a “newness of life”. By our verbal profession, to bury our old person  of sinful flesh, to be raised in newness of life and a new understanding to serve God to “be ye Holy, even as I am Holy”. And so we do. By persistence in seeking the Father, this is what you get. His invisiblness of that which was before He ever said “let there be light”.

Even as Moses was instructed to tell Pharoh “thus saith the Lord God, let My people go that they may serve Me in the wilderness”, showing us two things. That the Egyptians unknowingly served the Lord God to teach them a lesson, that God did not want His people to serve others.

If His people had learned the lessons in their crossover of the red sea where all their enemies were drowned, and through the wilderness where they were completely provided for, it would have been for the completion of their glory, but they did not.

Even Moses was denied entrance to the promised land, or, land of promises we see in scripture, and died shortly after his last gander of the land of promise from Mt Nebo, where the Lord God said to Moses “but you shall not enter” because of their folley.

The lesson from the wilderness was for God to show them, that even in their fear, He would deliver them time and again to earn their trust. And having done that, He would then take them through assorted obstacles and enemies, to teach them how to master, or be a lord unto themselves with their own God given abilities to rule and reign in truth, without Gods intervention. Meaning, you do it. Yes with the tools He has given you, you use them instead of hammers and chisel’s. Use the words He has given you in scripture. This is how you do the works of the Father, and show you are one of His. He didn’t leave us beggars and serfs. You just don’t know who you are yet.

Our baptism, or crossover shows that being made in the image of God and fallen, then that image buried by fear first. It needed to be washed off and re-energized, then raised with a new outlook appropriated by them, and now by us, to be our own masters and lords over various situations. This is the Resurrection given and allocated to us at the cross. That is where all are enemies are defeated. We just have to learn to appropriate this. At the cross Jesus Christ said “it is finished. This is our crossover to excersize lordship, our lordship in this life.

And how do we do this? With what we do? No, with what we say first, then what we do. We walk in the word, Gods word. In this way we part the seas, bring forth water from a rock, move mountains, and overcome all our enemies by our words. Like our Father said “let their be… and it was so. And like the Son said “rise up and walk”. And so we do. We do the walk of faith.

This is how we join the rest of God set in place on the 7th day of creation, to which the trumpet sound has called us since the day God capped His creation with humans. This is our exit, a word we get from Exodus which means departure, so we know where our crossover takes us and where we leave our enemies.

And from Hebrews 4.

4 Therefore, since a promise remains of entering His rest, let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it. ² For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, ^[a]not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. ³ For we who have believed do enter that rest, as He has said:

although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. ⁴ For He has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way: “And God rested on the seventh day from all His works”; ⁵ and again in this place: “They shall not enter My rest.”

But we know that “He who the Son sets free is truly free”. From the entanglements and the snares that try to detain us. Those monsters become our food for our growth into the things of God that proove we are His. This is the mastery our Father gave us. This is how we know we are His because we become the thing that He said,,, Word! With our words our enemies fear us, and We come out with great sustainance. We can rest assured in this, “in Him”, “in Christ”, The Word of God. Word!

The Kingdom of God is at hand! Enter in, be rich in Him and enjoy in this Glorious Salvation that was at first spoken of by the prophets, but now confirmed in us, and hopefully by you too… If you are able to receive it. Amen.

To Work in the Harvest

There is no greater calling and no greater reward than the infamy of living on through our words like Christ does. Not really our words, but the words of God in us, being the knowledge and understanding of His information. Which is His genetic structure and DNA spelled out in the gospel, and reiterated by us to be received by you in your inward parts. Recieving the engrafted word which is able to save your souls” as our brother James put it. For you to become more like Yeshua/Jesus. This is your re-scripting. This is as Romans says “be ye renewed in the spirit of your minds”. And so we do.

This is what we leave called our testimony and our witness. Not of something about us but about Him. That He lives, so we can live in the fashion that He does NOW in what we call “Spirit and Truth”.

It is because death had no hold on Him, it has no imposition on us either. All that He was and is and is to come, is in us now… if you can truely see and recieve Him (engrafted in your inward oarts) as He truely is… Word. (John 1.1)

What is in us of His, becomes our business as being “joint heir’s of the things of God”. This becomes our responsibility. We too do the works of the Father, being the transference of Himself, from us to you, to have a self like His Self we receive through “The Gospel once and for all delivered to the saints”. This is the sanctified, authorized mechanism from the Father.

Meaning, the message has it’s finalization in this present age in the here and now, and need no encore presentation called a second coming. The cross is sufficient for these things.

The next carnal event to be physically experienced by humanity is NOT the completion of the gospel. No! We already have that. But the expiration of the gospel. When God comes, it is to reward His saints and to judge all others, not to save. He saves, remanufactures and restores now. Otherwise why continue in the gospel? But Paul said the gospel is the power of God for salvation. And the salvation proccess is not complete if you are held in limbo waiting for God to do something else for you. That’s an insult to the Christ of the cross. The only true saving.

This is true godliness and the purpose of the Gospel and the reason for the cross. We aquire our pass to the Father where we pass over death, then reach out to lay hold of why God laid hold of us, which is the fullness of life. To participate in the things God has for us NOW of His invisible attributes, freely given to us for the taking.

Scripture has this to say of those who pressed into The Kingdom of God in Hebrews 12. ²² But you have (already) come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, ²³ to the [j]general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in (as, we are let in to) heaven (being us), to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect”. This is presented as a past tense event.

This is how we know we are His. And His purpose was the “bringing many to Glory” through The Gospel. That “the gospel message of — Christ is the power of God for salvation”. Meaning the complete aquisition and accualization of our full salvation package according to godliness, meaning god-like-ness.

And because “all have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God” showing us two things. That the fall is from Gods Glory, and what the purpose of the gospel is, is “The Glory” restored. That Glory exudes through the words we espouse, and returns you to “the Father of Glories”. This is how you know you are His.

Even as Paul spoke to the Thessalonians saying, “to which God called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the Glory of our Lord Jesus Christ”.  No second coming involvement necessary. That would mean He has another work to do and it was NOT finished at the cross, but that’s blasphemy. He is “seated waiting for His enemies to become His footstool” because He finished His task.

The only enemies He didn’t defeat are your doubts and fears. But thats is why He gave us the Gospel. For us to undo our doubts, fears and disbelief with the tools He has furnished for us in the gospel we preach.

Further proof that Glory is not an end times allocation, is the Angel eho John stooped down to worship in the conclusion of his Revelation. The Angel replied “see that you do not do that, for I am one of thy brethren who keep the testimony of Jesus Christ. Worship Him”. Here is one who obtained perfection and Glory even way back then. So much so in fact that John thought it was Jesus. And who knew Jesus closer than the disciple John, who put his head in the bosom of our Lord? So you can see how this is attainable for you too.

So you havta havta believe in scripture, that you are transitioning from the glory to the glory as by the spirit” (2 Corinthians 3.18) no second coming involvement necessary. Because when Christ returns, it is to close this era He allocated for saving, sanctifying and building up His Elect. For now “the Kingdom is preached and all are entering”. Then the final judgement and to collect those who are His and then wrap up this age. “For the Elects sake these days will be cut short” and “Christ will appear a second time apart from sin (dealt with at the cross) for (the conclusion of) salvation.” (Hebrews 9..) This is the only place in scripture that uses the verbage “second time” because His comings, meaning, His appearings are many, and His final appearing is for judgement.

We know Him as the:

²⁰ Behold, I stand at the door and knock (even now, but you can’t see Him) and. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. ²¹ To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.” Let them who have ears to hear listen to the Spirit”. Because the person of the flesh cannot receive this. “Ye must be born again”. Hopefully this will help you in your endeavor.

And from 1 John 5. ⁴ For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.” So you can see this is not a time sensitive message but something that is “at hand” even now.

The carnal man is enmity against God. It is not subject to the ways of God, neither in deed can be so that those who are in the flesh cannot please God.” But we do. (Romans 8)

Even as we see of the wedding feast (Matthew 22). That once the Master of the ceremony closes the doors, many will say “master, master, open up to us”. Meaning, they thought they had the ability to enter in later, and we’re left without because they “went to buy” wedding garments (from the world). But you cannot buy from the world the things you need to interact with God.

So we are taught to put on Christ one revelation at a time as we learn from Him by His many appearings. Even as Paul said, the gospel I preach to you did not come by man, not is it taught by man, but by revelation of Jesus Christ”.  That those who went to buy garments for the wedding, went to the wrong source to obtain the acceptable clothing to participate in this ceremony. We are clothed in Christ. The true ceremony and union by which we are all wed to One, amalgamated, enmeshed and intertwined together to make up one body, the Body, Bride and Groom of the family of God pictured as the Bride as shown here.

Revelation 21

“Come, I will show you the ^[g]bride, the Lamb’s wife.” ¹⁰ And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the great city, the holy (a word that means invisible) Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, ¹¹ having the glory of God. ¹⁷ Then he measured its wall: one hundred and forty-four cubits, according to the measure of a man, that is, of an angel.” 

(Note: Angel is another word used to describe the invisible. In this case of those of us whose transition is complete before the close of this age.)

Showing for us here our union. That the wedding union was ours as well. In this way we become wedd, we are one. God is echad, and we are one with Him, in His Son. We are hidden “in Christ”. The place where God his all His treasures.

This is our consumation and fullness of time we are gathered to. Fortunately for us God and His Holy Spirit are everywhere so we don’t need to worry about our physical location to participate in this because we are “in Christ”.

Are you getting this? Have you gotten ready? Are you invited to the wedding. “The time is now ready”. Matthew 22

It is God who lives in us through His only Begotten for continuing to begat children in His name throughout the ages. Just as “in the beginning was the word”. He begats others with His words in us. This is why Paul said “I have begotten you through the gospel” because we play our role.

We call this our testimony. Not so much of our old self, but our new self. The Glorious one Christ, came to ensure that we could attain. For “On Him was laid the inequity of us all and by His stripes we are healed.” Meaning, Glory restored and your work of salvation is the process. “All men have sinned and fallen short of the Glory of God”. We are fallen no more, but raised and seated in the Heavenly places in Christ”.

“The word was with God and the word was God, He was in the beginning with God”. John 1.1 Now He abides in us and us in Him.

With Gods word in us we become like Him. And because of that, God now resides in us and through us who become word. Just like He lived in that Son, He lives in us.

Even as Jesus said “I and the Father are one”. Even as Paul said “I plead with you now by the mercies of God, be ye reconciled to the Father” for us to be there too. For He made Him who knew no sin, to become sin, so that you could become the righteousness of God in Him.” That’s right. His exactitude in us. This is the Glory restored, as other worldly but not at a future event, but a con-curring re-acurring reality of life in the spirit.

His very same self, comes out of our self for yourself to be like His self. This is the Gospel making a complete circle. That “Gods word does not return to Him void” or fruitless, but with you in His word which takes you to Him. The circuit is complete in this way. That “you are complete in Him who head and ruler over all principalities and powers”.

Can you fathom that! That is the gift of God in Christ Jesus. If you were born again and set out to lay hold of why Christ laid of you, this is the gift.

The promises of Jesus are fulfilled in us where he said that “If anyone loves Me, they will keep My word; and My Father will love them, and “We will come to them and we will make Our home with them.” And so they did.

Yes, one word or, one strand of Heavenly DNA we call word, one after another until He is fully realized and accualized in us.

God’s word is his seed, his seed is his DNA, it’s through his word he transfers His genetics and in this way we become like Him and genetically re-modified to interact with Him perfectly. As first John said that “when we see Him as He is we become like Him”? And so we did. That “in the beginning was the word”, this word that now abides in us and comes to you through us, and brings forth the same life to you that we have that was in the begging with the Father, that was given to the Son, to give to us, to give to you to complete the circle to become one. (1 John 1)

This oneness (koinania) happens in the wedding chamber, the union where offspring comes to be. Kind begats according to kind. And in the chamber, just outside of human perceptions, we are born again and born from above of the spirit and of His kind, and kind begets kind. (John 3)

This is why John the Baptist said “²⁹ He who has the bride is the bridegroom; but the friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice. Therefore this joy of mine is fulfilled.” Meaning, he attended the wedding. There is none born among women that are greater than John the Baptist. But those who are born of the Kingdom are greater than he” speaking of we, if you are able to receive it.

With these Words, John the Baptist was the witness and best man at the wedding. His joy was fulfilled? Yes, the anticipation of the previous age and generations had come to a close. This is The new Creation of the newly created people in God’s image both halves restored. The split that started when Eve was taken from Adam, was mended when Jesus Christs counter part descended upon Him like a dove, and remained upon Him in bodily form, to never depart. And John the Baptist the friend and best man at that ceremony. That was his purpose in life. “They must increase, but I must decrease, to close out the old covenant and creation, to usher in the new. A new man, or humanity called Christians. More than a religion but a new race and a new culture called “The Kingdom of God at hand”. Not within reach of your hand but graspable to the re-spirited mind of faith.

This is why Paul said “if anyone is in Christ they are a new creation (newly created). Old things have past away and all things become new and all things are from God”. The origination and source of everything we become of what us new. Not that it is new in having never been before, but it is new in the sense that it never gets old or fades. Only things if creation do that. So don’t forget where your new self comes from.

For this reason Paul the apostle called Jesus “the last Adam” because this Jesus was the prototype of a new type of man. A spiritual one. His physical vessel had nothing to do with this. This was a private ceremony. And if you understand this ceremony, it is because you came into the chamber to witness the event. Even as it is written in Mathew 22 “come to the wedding. It is now ready”. It is always ready because it’s a personal experience with the Godhead who made man in His likeness, male and female. We see the female He had before He said those words.

It is called a union because it is the place where Gods Word called the Son, and Gods Holy Spirit that Jesus Christ called the teacher, comforter, and other parent and His helper like Adam had so you are not left orphans. It is as these two come together in you, that you experience and know them. You become one with them, the same way Adam knew Eve and begat, or birthed their image.

This is how you are born again. Jesus Christ the last Adam is the first born among many. There are those who are born coming out crying, but we go out with joy and are led forth with peace.

In this way the gospel is a conduit for the things of God freely given to us who are born again in this way.  With God there is total conveyance of everything that He has and is and given to us His Elect. We are those who take God at His word and become the thing that He said. We are His retroactive recipients of “The Kingdom prepared from (before) the foundations of the world”.

So we say “The Kingdom of God is at hand.
