THE NEW CREATION MYSTERY REVEALED PART 3 THE TIMELESS, ETERNAL GIFT

We have already talked about the “Who” in part one and the “where” in part two. Now lets talk about the “when”.

The modern view is sequentially  laid out on a timeline to be fulfilled on certain days by certain events that would be experienced with the Adamic nature and looking for another day for the Christ to finish His work of salvation but lets hold that up to all of scripture.
Jesus the man said a lot of things that do not fit the time dispense theory commonly used like when the Jewish leaders were claiming to be from Abraham. Jesus wraps up His discourse with them by saying “Abraham rejoiced to see My day and he saw it and was glad”. What day is that? The “day of the Lord”. This to many is an outlandish statement but bear with me and you will see more scriptures open up to you. The purpose is to show a sequence but not one bound by emc=square big bang time and matter.
The day of Pentecost came and the Holy Spirit was given for this could not happen until Christ returned to the father and many things He spake to the disciples that they remembered after Christ was glorified. They were instructed to keep silent on some things until after He was glorified. And the scriptures say “Now the son of man is Glorified and God is Glorified in Him. As God is Glorified in Him, He will Glorify the son immediately”. You see all power from heaven and earth were invested in Christ on earth.
The Son must be Glorified in all power to move forward in the Spirit. The hour is coming and now is (depending where you are in the sequence) when you will not on this mountain nor in (earthly) Jerusalem worship the Father. For the Father is Spirit and truth and is seeking such to worship Him. Maybe you. And if the Son is not in all power and authority then there is yet another work of the Jesus man then salvation is later but Glory is the trophy of the finish.
We need to ask “who is our Jesus”? Mary wanted to worship Christ when He rose from the dead at the time the tomb was empty and He said “do not cling to me for I have not ascended to the Father”. I would like to point out here that many do not distinguish between the resurrection from the dead and the ascension into heaven. For this reason the ascension is later but scripture says that He made us sit down in the heavenly’s.
A spiritual truth is that you can only be as developed as your teacher and if your teacher is a man, then you shall be a good man but if you are not beholding the fully Glorified Christ in the mirror you are not receiving the full gift. Even as the disciples said when they saw Christ at the transfiguration. Why do the scribes say Elijah must come first? Well he does come Elijah has already come if you are able to receive it. Well what does that mean? If we are not able we do not receive it? Yes! Precisely! If you are not able to receive things by faith you can’t have it! Bingo!
This is the whole point of faith and how to receive the eternal, timeless gift that is in Christ. All must enter through faith. If you see it, it is not faith for faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. You get that? Proof of the invisible. You see the Jewish people of that day were looking for a physical, visible kingdom with the God man sitting on a throne and this was their condemnation. “Oh Jerusalem if you would have only known this, your hour of visitation, but now these things are coming upon you!” What a sad reality. They missed it because they would not receive it by faith. What about us?
The book of Hebrews describes this timeless gift we are talking about and the Lord says “so I swore in my wrath they shall not enter my rest, although the works were finished from the foundation of the world”. So here we are in modern day Christianity speaking of another day like many have done throughout time. The scripture goes on to say “Since there remains that some must enter it, and those to whom it was first preached did not enter because they lacked faith. For the Gospel message was preached to us as well as them but the word they heard did not profit them not being mixed with faith. But we who have believed do enter that rest.”
Now here is the thing. The works were done the 6th day. All of the trees that were yet to grow were created, all the seed of every man was already in Adam, every detail was complete the 6th day and just needed to be played out. Even as scripture says that they will look upon the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. This is the place we are invited to now.
This is the gospel message. (Hebrews 4.2) The timeless gift. Enter His realm, His Rest.

THE NEW CREATION MYSTERY EXPLAINED PT 2

The New Creation is not new in the sense of being just made. It is new in the sense of never getting old. In this place time as we know it has no value or effect. For time is a measurement of the “getting old creation”. The one of the big bang of time and matter.

The New Creation is also young for it can never age. It never lacks luster or fades. It never needs repaired or painted. It is not new in the way we perceive new in having never been before. In a similar sense we could call our creation old since that day of sin it began to decay corrode and erosion began when Adam was told “in that day you shall surely die”. Death had become.
This day which has no end also has no beginning. It as is not getting older or decrepit, it is not getting younger or infantile. It just is and always is perfect. That “which was and is to come”. Is always perfect. It has been and will be always perfect, un-taintable by humanity. This is the paradise of God. Everyday is the grand opening, the feast, the main event, the wedding. The gospel message and all its teachings are to bring us there. Which is the day which has no night. It is forever young, in eternal unfading glory, for The Lamb of God is its light. The place of our calling.
Paul talks about this when he says “For our outward man is perishing, yet our inward man is renewed day after day”. It is forever new. All the focus and teachings of scripture define this place as not a future reality, but concurring (unceasingly occurring)  for those born of God who walk according to the Spirit. Those who “since you are resurrected with Christ set your mind on the things that are above”. “He has raised us up and made us sit together with Him in heavenly places in Christ”.
So then we who are in the Spirit are in this New Creation. Not that it was created but it is a creation in the sense that it has specific features having order and design. But as it has no end and no beginning, having always existed in God the Father because it is God the Father. The not-created creation. As Christ said when asked of His Kingdom. “It is not of this world”, not of big bang time and matter.
Whatever is eternal is God. All things have been given to the Son, and we are joint heirs with Him, of the eternal life that was with the Father and manifested in the Son. He who has the Son has this life, this always New Creation.
The Kingdom of God is at hand.

THE NEW CREATION MYSTERY EXPLAINED PART 1

God created man in His image; male and female. God chose to display His hidden attributes in the male and female as they came together. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and cleave to his bride.

We know from the creation account that God spoke. When God spoke His Word came forth. When God spoke His Breath/Spirit came forth. The Father, being the source, then the Son and Spirit. The Spirit brooded over the face of the waters. Not that one was lessor or greater than the other, but different in purpose, being equally God with all the attributes, displaying complimentary characteristics.

It was said of Christ that He declared the Father. He said, “If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.” It was necessary that Christ was also the fullness of the Father, His completeness, as scripture says, and that if He was the fullness of the Father, He had to be male and female.

For Christ to appropriately display the fullness of God, and He did, for in Him dwelleth the fullness of the Godhead, He had to display the same attributes as the Father before it was said He made male and female to display His likeness, before this split.

How did Christ on earth do this? The first creation started with the Word and the Spirit leaving the mouth of God, and they split as they departed. The Word creates, the Spirit incubates. This is what happens inside us when we receive them; the Word and Spirit. The new creation we become occurs when the Word and the Spirit become one again. We can catch a glimpse of this phenomenon in  other unions or marriages. We call this the procreation of a species. The two becoming one and begetting according to their own likeness, be it a mammal or a fish or a reptile. You get the picture.

In heavenly terms, this is what is referred to as the Wedding banquet that we are invited to. It is the coming together to be one in the Holy Word and the Holy Spirit, the true union. This has to take place before there are any offspring. This is the union that takes place in the heart of believers when they accept Christ and The Holy Spirit.

How and when did Christ on earth display the Father in both male and female? It was at His baptism that Christ received the Holy Spirit, thereby fulfilling all righteousness. It was at that time the Father said this is my beloved Son in Whom I am well pleased. https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/Matthew-3-17/ God the Father could only be pleased if the Son were a true chip off the ol’ block, correctly displaying who He was from before the beginning, before His Word and Spirit went forth.

The first creation started with the split. God divided light and dark. earth and sky, land from water, etc. But more importantly, when the Word and the Spirit come back together, being united, or wed, or married, this was the union of the new creation. God Says, For my Word will not return to me void but shall accomplish all that I desire https://www.kingjamesbibleonline.org/search.php?.  What is it that God desires? That we shall go out (birthed) with joy, and be led forth with peace. We are those born of that union, the union of the Word and Spirit, reunited to procreate true images of that union born in His likeness, in His fullness. We receive the engrafted Word, and are begotten by the Word of truth to be a kind (kind begets kind) of first fruits of His creation. Male and female made He them in His likeness. From the book of John, “That which is born of the flesh is flesh, that which is born of the Spirit is spirit, you must be born again.” This is pretty radical if you can grasp what we are saying.

So back to Christ’s baptism for a fuller explanation. The Holy Spirit descended upon Him in bodily form like a dove and remained upon Him. The Spirit was given to the Son without measure. They received of each other’s fullness.

John the Baptizer knew this, and knew this was his purpose. “Make straight paths the way of the Lord” he said.

John the Baptist did not know Him but was told, “Upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon, THIS IS HE!  I have seen and testify that truly this is the Son of God.”

But it doesn’t stop here. John made an even more radical remark when his disciples were asking about this Christ man. They asked, “Who is He whom you testified of back at the Jordan?” John then replied in present tense. Meaning then! Not later. He said, “He who Has the Bride is the Bridegroom, but the friend [John meaning himself] of the Bridegroom, who stands and hears Him, rejoices greatly because of the Bridegrooms voice.” That is why this joy of mine is full. And from the Greek, THEY must increase but I must decrease, THEY who come from above are above all. That is the two in one, the Word and the Spirit. As Christ said to Nicodemus “WE speak what WE know and testify what WE have see and you do not receive OUR testimony”. How about you?

If you are still here, without any further adieu, may we introduce to you “The Bride and Groom. The Word and the Spirit. For John did not talk about THEM as engaged, or as though THEY would be married on a future date, or the soon to be or THEY would have been called fiance. He said “He who has the Bride is the Bridegroom”. This is an introduction only for the newly weds and completely in-appropriate for the un-wed couple. Stay with us for there is more.

The baptism of Christ was necessary “to fulfill all righteousness”. To accomplish the full task and purpose of the Son on earth. To Accomplish all! For the Word and the Spirit to come together to have offspring. That is those born of Word and Spirit. Which is us! If you believe. And if this is not the truth, and the wedding has not taken place, then those who claim to be born again are born out of wed lock. Then we would all be born from pre-marriage fornication, we would be bastards.

If you are waiting to see a future wedding, you are walking by sight using the reason of your carnal mind as it relates to the physical senses. For “He is the God who calls things that do not exist as though they do”, because they really do where it counts. In Spirit and truth. This is a message for those who are “called out”, which comes from the Greek word Eklisia, the word translated Church. The “called out” of the world. To be be called into. And the into is “In Christ”. This mystery and many more are “in Him”. Which is where “all the hidden treasures of God are”. Be it a mystery or a revelation, be it the Spirit or the body.

None of these are realities to the human senses. Kind begets kind and kind associates with kind and ye must be born of the spirit to associate with us.

If you have stayed with us this far you are of this kind. If this is the first time you have seen and accepted this the Bride and the Bridegroom, Welcome home.

We will explore this new creation in greater depth. What is the new creation? For those who believe, it is you, it is Him, it is us, it is Them. This is how we put Them on. It Is now, He is now, the Kingdom of God is at hand! The King, the Queen, the City, and His government. If this was not true you would have a King without a kingdom. And what is a King without a kingdom? What is a judge without a court? What is a husband without a wife? He is or He isn’t. Check mate. The true King is always standing.

**A REMINDER OF KINGDOM REALITIES NOW

A REMINDER OF KINGDOM REALITIES NOW

I know you know these things but it’s good to keep it fresh.

Col 1.13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the Kingdom of His Son.
2 Pet 1.3 His divine power has given us everything that pertains to life and godliness.

2 Pet 1.4 We are partakers of the divine nature having escaped the corruption of the world.

These are all past tense.

Since we have these things our spirit is already where our body wants to go, but our body will never go there.

He has (already) qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance. We don’t need another day.

We are a digit, A singularity, a human, defined as a person in place and time. This is our old nature. It was Christ who became a man for us to become like Him. We knew Him once as a man, a digit, a singularity, but henceforth know we Him like that no more. He is no longer a singularity and if anyone is “in Christ” they are no longer constricted to their old humanity, but are a “new creation” in His image, being ubiquitous. Not being restricted to this creation of time and space. God is spirit and He seeks those to worship Him in spirit and truth.

So being “in Christ”, “in the Spirit”, we have been quickened, we have been translated, we have been Raptured, we are where flesh and blood cannot go. This is why we “know no man, who is a believer, after the flesh” being a digit, a human. “For we have this treasure in earthen vessels for the excellence and the Glory is of God and not our digit. And since we are “in Christ”, “in the Spirit”, we too are partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light right now. Col 1.12

Our carnal desire is to be with Christ in our bodies but this can never be. Flesh and blood does not and cannot inherit the Kingdom and this body does not go there. It is not for the physical eye or the physical ear.

If we were Raptured, or taken away from this world in our current condition, we would freeze in our current condition. “Let him who is unjust be unjust still he who is filthy let him be filthy still, he who is righteous let him be righteous still, he who is holy let him be holy still” Rev 22.11. God would have to re-create the same current earthly conditions to finish His work in us. That is why we are here.

This is why eschatology and end times fascinations can be dangerous by being an escape from the greater work God wants to do in us now. Eschatology focuses on and speaks of another day and derails the work of the Holy Spirit now. Today! If you hear His voice. For there remains a rest for the people of God.

If anything is unfruitful, it is a teaching to the body of Christ that morphs with every new fear, to keep people spiritually paralyzed and focused on that and not real growth. Who does that sound like? I mean Nibiru? Blood moons? What will they think of next? These are carnal fascinations with no eternal fruit.

So why do we need a rapture? To be saved? To be delivered from this evil world? To be quickened? To be translated? This has already happened if you are “in Christ”. And if you are already in His will, why would you want to go somewhere else?

What shall separate us from the love of God “in Christ” Jesus? Height? Depth? Government powers? Demonic principalities? A sword? A famine? Martial law? Through all these we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

As in Daniel there were 3 men threatened with fire, and their reply? God is able to deliver us from the fire, but even if He doesn’t I will not worship your image. It was in the fire where the forth man was seen. We know who He was. Fear not these end time images they present for they will expire and they will present another. We are where we need to be. In Him.

**GODS UBIQUITOUS KINGDOM


Posted on January 26, 2014 by ADMIN

Ubiquitous meaning, existing or being everywhere at the same time : constantly. In other words every where, all the time, forever.

This is how I explain the Kingdom of God and Christ, also being heaven. This place cannot be defined as a single place and this place is not related to time. It is a timeless truth, hence, eternal. Meaning eternity past and eternity future. We usually think that eternity means from now forward but that is not true. To be eternal is to be timeless. Either God is or He isn’t. We know Him as alpha and omega, beginning and end and this doesn’t do justice to what eternal means either because it points to a start and an end. The truth is time has a start and an end but eternity does not.
Same way with the attributes and characteristics of God broke down for our understanding as seen in the law and the prophets, then seen more clearly in Christ in a human body, which is the mystery of God, the infinite, becoming a digit, a singularity, a man.
But this break down of the nature of God was for us to grow in an understanding of God. God never changed in who He was for that is impossible, but through the word we understand different attributes of God. So we can see Christ as the lamb of God and we can see Him as Son of God and many other aspects, but He is all these things simultaneously.God did not become anything or He was not God. Christ was made man for a little while so that He by the grace of God ,would taste death for every man. He laid aside His deity for this purpose, but He never un-became anything, and He never becomes anything. Hebrews 13.8 Christ the same yesterday today and forever.
Knowing God this way we can say of His eternal gift to us, that it is of His same nature and character that He is, or it isn’t really eternal. His reward is with Him. He is the reward or His gift would have a start and an end. Now this is hard for our brain to apply this principle when reading His word. We like to bring it down here and put perimeters on it, a beginning a timeline and an end.
There are two aspects of creation that define it. The beginning and the end. All of the ubiquitous aspects of God are not of the 6 day creation. They are pre-existent. The 6 day creation can only dimly describe it. But this is what we do. We lay the feast’s out and wait for them to happen. We do this with end time views too. We see on a timeline and think God is subject to that, and He is but not as it relates to time. Some people are under Gods judgment and others confess and are saved, while yet another receives His spirit and another receives the kingdom, but because these are eternal aspects of God, each person understands in his, or her own order. (1 Cor 15).
So Christ came in the flesh to redeem mankind, but there are those who were redeemed before Christ came, showing the timelessness of His gift being the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. As Abraham saw “The Lords Day” and was glad, before it happened in time. And John on the Island of Patmos was in the spirit on the Lords day before the end of the world. Christ died and was resurrected but He was the “resurrection and the life” before He died or Lazarus could not have been resurrected. Or what about the angel John went to worship, who was of those who “keep the testimony of Christ”? How does that fit our human timeline? That person had a glorified body.
Paul referring to Isaac and Ishmael said that the flesh has always persecuted those born of the spirit, meaning them way before Christ came, but in our timely, carnal thinking no one was born of the spirit until after Christ was on earth, putting God on a time frame. And teaching that no one received the Holy Spirit until the time of Pentecost, but Joshua and David and Daniel as others already had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, for in their mind Christ was the already Glorified King. John 7.39 for the spirit was not given for Christ was not yet glorified, pointing to a revelation. You can’t prove this anyway, except with scripture.
Here is the truth of the matter. Yes Christ has to be Glorified in ones mind to receive His spirit but that relates to a sequence of revelations, if you are able to accept it, not a day a month and a year. Like when the disciples asked why the prophets say Elijah must come. He has come if you are able to receive it. Are you? We all have the same stages in our walk with Christ, but because one person knows Him only as having died on the cross does not mean that another cannot know him as being seated with Him.
Here then is the error of time dispensational thinking. It makes it easy for the carnal mind to think that God became, or is becoming and must still do in this age. Leaving people looking for another move by Christ or to come later and be King another day, he has always been a king. But the Holy Spirit has repeated throughout time that “Today is the day” “in an acceptable time I have heard, I have helped” and “now is the acceptable time”. He was born King and never denied He was a king. This thinking puts people in a holding pattern in their relationship with Christ, making the eternal God a subject of His own creation, bound by time. Yes He is revealed through a sequence but of revelations not time. From Hebrews 4 “And in this 7th day they shall not enter His rest, although the works were finished from the foundations of the world”. It is the revelation that takes us closer to God, it is not as the event seen happen, for if it is seen it is not of faith. As with Isaiah, in the year that king Uzziah died he saw the Lord high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Many are still looking for this to happen in time as a 2nd coming.
We can take the same principle of “Ubiquitous” and apply it to the gift of eternal life, and us being joint heirs with Christ. God is, or He isn’t. The gift is or it isn’t. It is Him or it is not eternal. If it is locked into space and time it is not of Him.
When a species is born it is identified by it’s features, A fish by it’s fins, a bird by it’s wings. A human has specific features, a head, arms, legs, and a torso, having fingers and toes. After it is born it doesn’t grow new arms or add toes. As with us, we “are complete in Him who is the head of all principality and power”. And “now we are the children of God”. We each, individually as born again believers have His Fullness.
The point I would like to make is that as His offspring we are now becoming only in understanding not in nature. Meaning, we are or we are not. Now that we bear His image in the spirit, being born again, we put on this new man. That we grow in understanding and applying our new nature, the transformation of our understanding in the inward man being renewed day by day as or outward man perishes, but we have already been birthed or we are not born again.
So we ask, Whats the difference between growing and becoming. Well becoming indicates that He is not yet or we are not yet, that we are partial and limits our ability to understand and receive. But we are complete in Him who is the head of all principality and power. Of his fullness we have all received  And He has given us everything that pertains to life and Godliness through the knowledge of Him who calls us to glory. The work He is doing now is awakening us to this in the spirit, to these realities. As Paul says, I press on to lay a hold of that for which Christ laid hold of me
If we believe we are not yet and that Christ also must become, both being progressive in nature, we take the power out of our conversion and are enticed to lay things out in a time dispensational manner thereby distancing ourselves from some of the promises of God and God himself which is the very nature of our inheritance. . To wait for the work of God to happen like in a 2nd coming for our carnal senses of site hearing, taste and touch, to believe it? This is the very enmity of God by the carnal mind to subject God and His timeless eternal gift to the “time sensitive” created realm by which carnal man is uncapsulated in, not God, and not the new man. Hence “the kingdom of God does not come with observation.
As scripture says “as He is so are we in the world” and “we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the glory and the excellency may be of God”.
An invitation went out from the beginning of creation to enter the rest of God. This can not happen in a dispensational brain for it tell us it is later, being subject to the laws and nature of this creation we need to see it physically. This is the snare of eschatology. But we are a new creation, a timeless one,, a Ubiquitous one.
I challenge you at this point to think about what the Holy Spirit has shown you by revelation the things that are yours now by faith. If we are “seated with him in heavenly places”, what does that mean? To accept the cross and resurrection is really just the basics from baptism. Can we see past the cross? Let us go on to maturity not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works of faith of baptisms, laying on of hands and resurrection from the dead. Resurrection is a foundation doctrine, it is the milk of the word.
John 3.8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.”
So if we are waiting for another work of Christ, be it a “latter rain”, the “manifest sons”, a “rapture” a tribulation a resurrection or whatever, we make null some promises of God and put ourselves in “unfaith”, “unbelief”.
The old testament picture was to go up to Jerusalem. This should be our current focus in the faith. Colosians 3.1, if you are then raised with Christ seeks the things that are above. And I will add, seek not the things on earth regarding the faith.
Blessings.

**THE BOOK OF JOHN AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.


Posted on December 28, 2013 by ADMIN

THE BOOK OF JOHN AND THE HOLY SPIRIT.

The interpreters of the book of John used great liberality to defend their understanding of the Godhead they call the “trinity”. They homogenized the various terms and Greek words, like “autos” which means self, “that one” and ‘they”. These gender neutral terms are all brought forth into English and capitalized into the male words “He” and “Him”. These words they applied to verses that described the Holy Spirit, the helper, the comforter, our other parent, so that we are not left to be orphans. I sure hope He doesn’t share this task with another male.

These gender neutral words should have been interpretated as female. Below is how those passages would read if they knew the Holy Spirit, whom “the world cannot receive for they do not see her or know her. But she will be with you and in you.” That is where you see Her.

Christ said in John 14.16 I will pray the Father and He will give you another comforter, my helper, (helpmate) that She may abide with you forever 17. the Spirit of truth whom those of the world (of the carnal mind) cannot receive. because it neither sees Her or knows Her, for She dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans, meaning without a parent. (And He wasn’t talking about the Father)

25 these things I spoke while being present with you 26 however My Help mate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name (who shared My name as being wed to Me), She will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things that I have said to you. (She will nurture you.)

26. but when the Help mate comes whom I shall send to you from the Father, She will testify of Me. (And verify who I am and who We are)

15.5 But now I (the Son) go away to Him (the Father) who sent me, 7. nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, My Help mate will not come to you, but if I depart I will send Her to you. 8. And when She has come, She will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgement.

(His Help mate is clearly not the father either, but the third person of the Godhead of which the Father said from the beginning “So God made man in His image, male and female made He Them.)

  1. 12. I have many things to tell you but you cannot bear them now. 13. However when (She) the Spirit of truth has come, (She) will guide you into all truth, for (She/) will not speak of Herself (as a She) but whatever She hears She will speak and tell you of the age to come (And also we will hear and testify too). 14. She will glorify Me, for She will take what is Mine (as a co-owner ) and declare it to you. (she will break My things down in small pieces for your understanding) 15. All things that the (1) Father has are (2) Mine, That is why I said (3) She will take what is mine and declare it to you.

***SARAH A TYPE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND THE SIN OF SODOM

SARAH A TYPE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND THE SIN OF SODOM

Abraham the father of the elect  himself was a picture of God the Father, our Father who is in heaven. The one who ‘made man in His image male and female made He them”. Abraham and Sarah are pictures of our invisible parents.

Abraham broken down in three parts from the Hebrew concordance.

Ab, means father.

Ah is derived from Eve and is female. Eve in Hebrew is Chavah and pronounced havah. Meaning female inside out. If you understand Eve, or Chavah was the one protected inside the man. That a deep sleep was put on Adam to have her extracted, the one His rib, then you can understand that she was in Him, then turned inside out. That man being made in the likeness of God, male and female made He them in His image. That it was the female that portrays the Holy Spirit.

So then Abrah=father and mother. That leaves us to understand ham, the last syllable in the name Abraham. That the “ah” from Havah was added.

Ham or Cham, once again the c like in Chavah is silent, and means “tropical habitat, or Paradise. This name is patronymic meaning: a name derived from the name of a father. This would be Jesus, or rather Yeshuah corrected from the Hebrew. Yeshuah derived from the father, who came from the father, in the name of the father means Ab-ah, or Abba

So we see the three components of the Godhead body in the Name Abraham. It is interesting that Abram was tested and his new name was given, showing God’s female we call Ah, was in Him. Hence Abr-ah-ham. The same with saria became Sar-ah. You can see this pattern throughout names in the Hebrew script as well as El. The El comes from the Aramaic and symbolizes a similar transition of charecter in the recipient. As it was said of Jesus/Jeshua, EmmanuEL, meaning God is with us. You get the picture.

The Lord in the beginning brought forth Eve from Adam. She was in Adam and from Adam. God brought her out to display distinguished complimentary characteristics of Himself in the first parents. Eve was Adams hidden insides brought out or made visible for us to understand our heavenly Father being displayed in two parts male and female. As He said in the beginning “let us make man in our likeness male and female”.

This image takes on more light in Abraham when The Lord said that from him would come the seed, and Hagar with Ishmael did not count. Abraham’s seed was in his hidden self, the one he was covenanted with in marriage, Sarah. Sarah was  hidden in him. She was identified as in Abraham’s tent.  Abram gave seed to Hagar, but technically and spiritually she was not one with him. Hagar was of Abram’s work of his flesh but Sarah was of a promise by an invisible word, of the spirit. This one shall come forth from you. He meant Sarah.

Isaiah 51 brings this into view. “Listen to me, you who 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. Look to Abraham your father and to Sarah who bore you.

He directs you not to Abram and Sarai but to Abraham and Sarah after the name change they portrayed  our parents, but were they? In a sense being the father of faith but more so in the sense of being a type, a picture or a model of God Himself. Abraham means “father of a multitude”. God is really our Father and not Abraham.

Paul expounded on this in Galatians referring to Hagar as being in bondage to the earths elements being a visible city bound by time matter itself, but the invisible city which is Heavenly Jerusalem, who is free the mother of us all. As Isaiah put it “Sarah who bore you”.

We being born by the Word of God and the Spirit of God are not born out from a woman like from Eve who was visible, to come into being from an invisible place called the womb, to live in  a visible place called earth, but keeping in contrasts, we are born from the visible to the invisible. We are born into the Spirit, into Christ. Just as Sarah was in Abraham’s tent,  and Eve was the rib in Adam, so too the Holy Spirit is hidden in Christ. This is the one the world cannot receive because it neither sees her or knows Her.  The one Christ said I will not leave you orphans, I will send you my helper and I don’t believe He meant another male. It was Adam and Eve pictured not Jesus and Steve.

As the Spirit is in Christ so too are all born of that union. We too are hid in Christ. That when He is revealed we shall be seen with Him in Glory. The earth itself will be delivered from corruption to the glorious liberty the sons have already experienced.

There you have the two births. Nicodemus asked how can this be? Of this being born from above and Christ  said “If I tell you earthly things and you don’t understand, how can I tell you heavenly/invisible things? Nicodemus should have known Abraham and Sarah as family pictures, as Paul did. He understood allegories, so can we.

Once again the prophesies and pictures point to, and have their fulfillment in the eternal. Explaining eternal unseen realities. As we understand these realities we can enter.

Something to enhance your study of the scriptures and understanding our parents, “male and female made He them”. Abram had his name changed to AbrAHam, Sarai to SarAH It was at the name change when they recieved the Spirit and the child of promise was birthed. AH is feminine. Watch the “AH”. RebekAH, HannAH. You get the picture.

Another common thread is that all the fathers of faith married their sister be it Abraham, Isaac Jacob and even Moses. This is because not only is the Holy spirit Christ’s wife  but she is also a sister because they display the Father in two parts sharing their origin. They likewise share the same destination going back to the Father the Bride and Groom now being Parents of all those born of the Spirit. To be eternal, having the gift of eternal life our parents have to be eternal. For more on this read the other articles on the Plurality of God.

Abraham in Egypt  referred to his wife as his sister and she was, but it wasn’t until Pharaoh recognized her as his wife and restored her to him that his kingdom was able to have children.

These truths we are talking about brings further understanding to when the 2 faceless angels went down to Sodom. The men of the city wanted Lot to bring them out so that they could know the angels carnally. Meaning with their physical senses. They wanted to define them in this creation of time and matter.  This was despicable to the two angels and itself is spiritual fornication.

This is as it says in Revelation 11.8 the great city which is spiritually called Sodom where the Lord was slain. They want to know Him carnally. The representatives /angels of God being the word and the Spirit, the Bride and Groom.  Again from Revelation 18.23 and Jeremiah 7.34,16.9, and 25.10 that “no more in you will be heard the voice of the Bride and the Bridegroom. The voice of the parents of the new creation. Let the just be just and the unjust be unjust still.

In Sodom they reached out and pulled Lot in. They struck the men with great blindness so that they could not find the door. Is this not like the end time seekers who  are blind to the door to the Kingdom at Hand right now? It is so close yet so far away for it does not come with observation but is inside. But They want to know Christ as a man king, and the spirit/Bride as a physical reality at a place where time and matter intersect that they call Jerusalem. This is knowing God carnally and completely misunderstanding Him. It is the sin of Sodom, spiritual blindness and wearying themselves trying to find the door.  This is why their story changes with every new wind. But we who know Him who is true and Faithful…

To the immortal invisible who alone dwells in unapproachable light whom no man has seen or can see. 1st Timothy 6.16

In 1st Peter 3 the women are taught  to let their beauty not be the outward adorning, but let it be the hidden person of the heart. And that is what the Holy Spirit is. The hidden person in the heart of Christ.

The Holy Spirit is the Bride, the wife and the Holy City. As in Jeremiahs day and described in Revelation, of the Voice of the Bride and the Groom. They say come. And, While it is called today, today if you will hear His voice, male and female made He them. Word and Spirit. Even with us our word goes nowhere without our breath/spirit. The two are one/ Echad and we are one in them in Him, that which is from the beginning which we have seen and we have heard we declare unto you that you may have fellowship with us and with the Father and Jesus Christ the righteous in whom is hidden the spirit.

*The Bride Becomes a City


Posted on December 4, 2013 by ADMIN

THE BRIDE BECOMES A CITY

Simply put the Bride becomes a city in our understanding, realizing that which already was. We become citizens. Like Christ becomes a King in our understanding but He already was for they are unchangeable.
The Bride is eternal and the third person of the trinity. We are born of the Spirit and of the Word/DNA. Our citizenship is heaven (Phil 3.20) When you see this She will come up every where in scripture. But we must plant it in the spirit to reap the spirit and be raised in our understanding. The carnal mind is enmity against God and rejects this. It has to be spiritually discerned, or assimilated.

As Abraham portrays the father of all, his wife portrays the mother of us all. Isaiah 51.2 “Look to Abraham your father and Sarah who bore you”. Not that they were our parents but they portrayed our heavenly parents. She was the barren persecuted by the one with child, Hagar, inferring to the law culture. (Galatians 4) Yes Jerusalem of the earth had her day but we are from the one who was barren, the one of promise, of faith. As seen in Sarah, Rebekah, Hannah, you get the picture. These are all shadows of Heavenly Jerusalem the mother of us all. (Gal 4.26-27) Jerusalem above is the mother of us all. As it is written; rejoice oh Barren, you who did not bear, break forth and shout you who did not travail, (not having the curse of Eve) for the desolate has many more children.

The old covenant mother was earthly Jerusalem in bondage to time and matter. The new covenant Mother is Heavenly, spiritual, and free. That which is born of the flesh is flesh but the spirit renders spiritual beings. These are invisible, hidden “in Christ”as is She. The hidden person of His heart.

The City of God is as eternal as the Son and the Father. She is not becoming anything She already wasn’t. As Christ is the same yesterday today and forever so is She. Just as Christ didn’t have to become something for His sake but ours, so too with Her.

It is our understanding that becomes clear to those who are led by Revelations. That is why she is seen as the final revelation in the Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. But She already is our mother. Ss Christ said “another Helper” not Himself, not the Father. (see articles on Ekienos)

Here is a truth to help us understand this better. Our new citizenship is from Heaven and is not accessible to our human body. In Zechariah 3 the Lord said of Joshua the high priest; Take away his filthy garments, see I have removed your iniquity from you. He was then clothed in rich robes. The robe of righteousness.

This refers to our inheritance eternal in the heavens. And as we put this on by faith, we get “a place within My house and My courts, says the Lord. I will give you a place among those who walk here”. We have received it, meaning Her. This is the same as Hebrews 12.22 “you have (already) come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to the feast gathering, and ekklesia of the firstborn. To the spirits of just men made perfect.” This have all His saints and holy ones, two terms that mean invisible.

There is nothing you cannot bury by faith. Paul counts all thingd as dung. Put it behind you that you may become the unleavened loaf.
The Kingdom at hand Has the King of kings in the City of cities. The one whom all others are modeled after.

The Kingdom of God is at hand!

*OUR NEW CITIZENSHIP PASSPORT

OUR NEW CITIZENSHIP PASSPORT

Our New Citizenship
We are card carrying members of the Kingdom of God. Not written with binary code on a magnetic strip on a piece of plastic, but having the word of God written on our circumcised hearts with the finger of God.
We are the true Israel of God. As plastic credit cards allows privileges in society, our citizenship is heaven and we have certain privileges.
From Galatians 6.15, What avails heaven, or grants access now for us is this new creation in us. We can now go boldly to the throne of Grace anytime. We can go in and out and find (food) pasture anytime. We have a city whose gates are always open to its citizens (fellowship). A place where there is no day or night, no sun or moon, but the lamb is its light, for He is the true light that has come into the world. Where those who are sorcerers, murders, and idolaters and whoever lives or loves a lie cannot enter. Where flesh and blood cannot inherit this kingdom. Where those who go can only go through faith.
Hebrews 12.22-24 paraphrase.
For we have come to Mount Zion,the city of the living God, heavenly Jerusalem, to the general assembly, to the called out ones, the firstborn, those who are registered in heaven, to God the judge of all, to the place of just men made perfect, to Jesus the mediator between God and men with the New Covenant being in force because the blood was already spilled which the blood of Abel testified to.
The False Gospel of Another Day. One yet in the future.
You cannot partake of this Kingdom if in your mind it is yet future. That if you believe that Christ still has to fulfill Danial 9 and finish transgression, make an end of sacrifice and sin, that He must seal vision and prophesy and anoint the Most Holy. If you believe these havr to be completed in the end times and eschatology you are not entering in. Like the Pharisees who thought the kingdom would appear before them, Christ said to them “you are not entering My Kingdom and you are not allowing those who are trying to do so” either. Of those leaders He said “it is better for you to be tied off with a millstone and drowned then for you to offend any of My little ones”. You are a denier of the true Christ and offer a counterfeit kingdom in Satans realm.
Satan showed Christ all the kingdoms throughout time and offered them to Him. Christ rejected them, all of them. And again with His words “My kingdom is not of this age” meaning of the creation of the big bang of time and matter.
The word of God is not constrained but your thinking is. He is looking for those to worship Him not in earthly Jerusalem but “in Spirit and truth” now. (John 4) His Kingdom is found “In Christ”. The lack of thinking in faith keeps people out. The carnal mind is enmity to God and thr veil that blinds people to His Reality. Or is it to be fulfilled in our lifetime? At any point in time? In this age at all? If you answered yes the god of this age has blinded you and robbed you of your reward, your inheritance. To be “In Christ” is to grow in understanding of Him and His Kingdom. The one that’s “at hand’ even now. “Do not seal the prophecies of this book for the time is at hand!” Rev 22.10. At Hand now today and 2000 years ago.
Paul begged those who were in Corinth to understand this. We are ambassadors from Christ as though God was pleading through us because of the work of Christ. The heralding call was ” be ye reconciled to God’. To recieve the atonement, meaning at-one-ment now.
Like Adam and Eve before the fall. As workers together do not receive the grace of God for an unfruitful purpose. For God says “In an acceptable time I have heard, and of the day of salvation I have helped”. Behold now is the accepted time! Now is the day of salvation! Why in the world do we look for a second coming as though that is the solution? The great doctor has seen our illness and our affliction and has given us the diagnosis, the treatment, the solution and the saving. Him who spoke a word and the lame walked has spoken to us and it is not the second coming. For on Him was laid the chastisement for us all and by His stripes ye are healed. When did that happen? The new covenant is in effect and is only for the new creation,
There cannot be a king without a kingdom or He is just a dreamer. And this kingdom has a capitol city and a time. In this case anytime you are able to accept it by faith. Then you would be citizens of a Holy nation of Kings and priests if you have been there.
Are we not seated in Heaven according to His word? Then as ambassadors from that place we too offer the same invitation as our Lord. Repent, believe the Gospel. The Kingdom of God is At Hand. Enter into the true union and full blessings of being “In Christ”.
Welcome home:)

* GODS UBIQUITOUS KINGDOM


Posted on September 24, 2013 by ADMIN

UBIQUITOUS KINGDOM

Ubiquitous meaning, existing or being everywhere at the same time constantly. In other words every where, all the time, forever. This is how to explain the Kingdom of God and Christ, also being heaven. This place cannot be defined as a single place and this place is not related to time. It is a timeless truth, hence, eternal. Meaning eternity past, present and eternity future. We usually think that eternity means from now forward but that is not true. To be eternal is to be timeless. Either God is or He isn’t.
We know Him as alpha and omega, beginning and end and this doesn’t do justice to what eternal means either because it points to a start and an end. The truth is time has a start and an end but eternity does not.
Same way with the attributes and characteristics of God broke down for our understanding as seen in the law and the prophets, then seen more clearly in Christ in a human body, which is the mystery of God, the infinite, becoming a digit, a singularity, a man. But this break down of the nature of God was for us to grow in us an understanding of God. God never changed in who He was for that is impossible, but through the word we understand different attributes of God. But “God became flesh and dwelled among us”.
So we can see Christ as the lamb of God and we can see Him as Son of God and many other aspects, but He is all these things and more simultaneously.God did not become anything or He was not God. Christ was made man for a little while so that He by the grace of God ,would taste death for every man. He laid aside His deity for this purpose, but He never un-became anything, and He never becomes anything else later. Hebrews 13.8 Christ the same yesterday today and forever.
Knowing God this way we can say of His eternal gift to us, that it is of His same nature and character that He is, or it isn’t really eternal. His reward is with Him. He is the reward or His gift would have a start and an end.
Now this is hard for our brain to apply this principle when reading His word. We like to bring it down here and put perimeters on it, a beginning a timeline and an end.
There are two aspects of creation that define it. The beginning and the end. All of the ubiquitous aspects of God are not of the 7 day creation. They are pre-existent. The 7 day creation can only dimly describe it. But this is what we do. We lay the feasts out and wait for them to happen. We do this with end time views too. We see God on a timeline and think God is subject to that, and He is but not as it relates to time. Some people are under Gods judgment and others confess and are saved, while yet another receives His spirit and another receives the kingdom, but because these are eternal aspects of God, each person understands in his, or her own order. (1 Cor 15).
So Christ came in the flesh to redeem mankind, but there are those who were redeemed before Christ came, showing the timelessness of His gift being the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. As Abraham saw The Lords Day and was glad, before it happened in time. And John on the Island of Patmos was in the spirit on the Lords day before the end of the world. Christ died and was resurrected but He was the resurrection and the life before He died or Lazarus could not have been resurrected. Or what about the angel John went to worship, who was of those who keep the testimony of Christ? How does that fit our human timeline? That person had a glorified body.
Paul referring to Isaac and Ishmael said that the flesh has always persecuted those born of the spirit, meaning them way before Christ came, but in our timely, carnal thinking no one was born of the spirit until after Christ was on earth, putting God and His gifts on a time frame. And teaching that no one received the Holy Spirit until the time of Pentecost, but Joshua and David and Daniel as others already had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, for in their mind and Christ was the already Glorified King. John 7.39 for the spirit was not given for Christ was not yet glorified, pointing to a revelation and not an event.
You can’t prove this anyway, except with scripture.
Here is the truth of the matter. Yes Christ has to be Glorified in ones mind to receive His spirit but that relates to a sequence of revelations, if you are able to accept it, not on a day a month and a year. Like when the disciples asked why the prophets say Elijah must come. He has come if you are able to receive it. Are you?
We all have the same stages in our walk with Christ, but because one person knows Him only as having died on the cross does not mean that another cannot know him as being seated with Him in heavenly places
Here then is the error of time dispensational thinking. It makes it easy for the carnal mind to think that God became, or is becoming and must still do in this age, leaving people looking for another move by Christ or to come later and save us or be King another day, he has always been a king. But the Holy Spirit has repeated throughout time that Today is the day and the acceptable time saying I have heard, I have helped and now is the acceptable time. He was born King and never denied He was king.
This thinking puts people in a holding pattern in their relationship with Christ, making the eternal God a subject of His own creation, bound by time. Yes He is revealed through a sequence but of revelations not time.
From Hebrews 4 And in this 7th day they shall not enter His rest, although the works were finished from the foundations of the world. It is the revelation that takes us closer to God, it is not as the event seen happen, for if it is seen it is not of faith. As with Isaiah, in the year that king Uzziah died he saw the Lord high and lifted up, and the train of His robe filled the temple. Many are still looking for this to happen in time.
We can take the same principle of Ubiquitous, and apply it to the gift of eternal life, and us being joint heirs with Christ. God is, or He isn’t. The gift is or it isn’t. It is Him or it is not eternal. If it is locked into space and time it is not of Him.
When a species is born it is identified by it’s features, A fish by it’s fins, a bird by it’s wings. A human has specific features, a head, arms, legs, and a torso, having fingers and toes. After it is born it doesn’t grow new arms or add toes. As with us, we are complete in Him who is the head of all principality and power. And now we are the children of God. We each, individually as born again believers have His Fullness.
The point to make here is that, as His offspring we are now becoming only in understanding in the spirit of the mind not in nature. Meaning, we are or we are not. Now that we bear His image in the spirit, being born again, we put on this new man. That we grow in understanding and applying our new nature, the transformation of our understanding in the inward man being renewed day by day as or outward man perishes, but we have already been birthed or we are not born again.
So we ask, Whats the difference between growing and becoming. Well becoming indicates that He is not yet or we are not yet, that we are partial and limits our ability to understand and receive. But we are complete in Him who is the head of all principality and power. Of his fullness we have all received.  And He has given us everything that pertains to life and Godliness through the knowledge of Him who calls us to glory. The work He is doing now is awakening us to this in the spirit, to these realities. As Paul says, I press on to lay a hold of that for which Christ laid hold of me
If we believe we are not yet and that Christ also must become, both being progressive in nature, we take the power out of our conversion and are enticed to lay things out in a time dispensational manner thereby distancing ourselves from some of the promises of God and God himself which is the very nature of our inheritance.
To wait for the work of God to happen in our carnal senses of site hearing, taste and touch, to believe it. This is the very enmity of God by the carnal mind to subject God and His timeless eternal gift to the time sensitive created realm by which carnal man is encapsulated in, not God, and not the new man. Hence the kingdom of God does not come with observation and the person that thinks so is unfit to participate in what God has for them.
As scripture says “as He is so are we in the world” and “we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the glory and the excellency may be of God”.
An invitation went out from the beginning of creation to enter the rest of God. This can not happen in a dispensational brain for it tell us no, being subject to the laws and nature of this creation we need to see it physically. This is the snare of eschatology. But we are a new creation, a timeless one, a Ubiquitous one.
I challenge you at this point to think about what the Holy Spirit has shown you by revelation the things that are yours now by faith. If we are seated with God in heavenly places, what does that really mean? To accept the cross and resurrection is really just the basics from baptism. Can we see past the cross? Let us go on to maturity not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works of faith of baptisms, laying on of hands and resurrection from the dead. Resurrection is a foundational doctrine, it is the milk of the word.
John 3.8 The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear the sound of it, but cannot tell where it comes from and where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the Spirit.
So if we are waiting for another work of Christ, be it a latter rain, the manifest sons, a rapture, a tribulation a resurrection or whatever, we make null some promises of God and put ourselves in unfaith, and unbelief.
The old testament picture was to go up to Jerusalem. This should be our current focus in the faith. Colosians 3.1, if you are then raised with Christ seeks the things that are above. And I will add, seek not the things on earth regarding the faith.
The Kingdom of God is at hand.

*Jerushalome King Shalome


Posted on August 24, 2013 by ADMIN

We see historically Jerusalem as the place where the Israelite’s gathered to celebrate the feasts and perform the sacrifices. Jerusalem means city of peace, or city of Shalom. Strong’s concordance connects shalom, with who we know as King Solomon. Solomon means peace. JeruShalom was the city of Solomon. Solomon was the physical representation of the son of David.

We know Christ is the real object of the son of David prophesy because all the gospels refer to Christ as the son of David. Solomon was an earthly fulfillment but he was not eternal so Solomon could not have been what God was referring to with the promise of “your son will build me a house for my name”, 2 Sam 7.13+16.

And this house was the center of the city. It was this city Yerûshâlaim (corrected to Hebrew) that all believers would come at the appointed times to celebrate the feast’s with the sacrifices and rest on the Sabbath. This is what Yahweh meant in Due 12. The Israelite’s having come out of Egypt were told by God to seek the place of the 12 tribes where Yahweh puts His name. It was in this place that the sacrifices would be performed, where they would rejoice and where His rest for them would be.

Jesus comes from the Greek name Joshua, which comes from the Hebrew yehôshûa, and the name means Yah-saved and he brings into the land as promised, meaning the place where the promises are fulfilled.

Now after the land was split up between the tribes they went back to war. In other words coming into that land was not the literal fulfillment of the promise or they would have no wars. They would be at rest. But the Holy Spirit was indicating to them and us, that the promise was not literal. see Hebrews 4.8 .

With this in mind we look at Solomon in the same light. The promise is not literal. If Solomon was the literal fulfillment he would still be alive and reigning in Jerusalem. The people got that and spoke of Christ saying “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord”.

A question then arises. Does Yahweh put His name on a land or a people or a person?

The old covenant picture was the city. All the sacrifices and the feast’s were in the city. The city was in the land. And from Heb 1.1 god spoke at appointed times in various ways in times past to the fathers, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son. Meaning God communicated to them through these various ways but now the Son supersedes the pictures of something eternal, and brings you into the Eternal saying “The Kingdom of God is at hand”, an invitation still in effect at the time of this writing.

As Christ said “I will no longer speak to you in parables but I will tell you plainly about the Father”. What the land, the city, the sacrifices and the feast’s had taught about God, are now manifest by the son. Meaning, He brings the real deal.

When Moses first saw the Lord he was told “Take your sandals off for where you stand is holy ground”. Then he was instructed to make the things he saw on that mountain that was holy ground. This is where the blueprints and the calendar was obtained for the old covenant.

The whole purpose of the old covenant was to bring a certain people with a certain language to the place to worship God, in a certain land at a certain city on certain days with certain activities. This is very pinpointed and specific, to the law and the Jerusalem back then.

With Christ, John the Baptist said “it is He who comes after me who was preferred before me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to unloose”.

Instead of taking off sandals like Moses because the ground was holy, this time it was the man that was holy. Don’t touch his sandals. This marked the start of the new covenant. The promises of God were no longer at a certain place on a certain day but a certain person. This is the true place where God put His name, is not a land or a city like the old covenant, but a man, the Son.

Paul says that all the promises of God in Christ are yes and amen. That “in Christ” the promises dwell. All eyes were on the land and the city, are now should be on the Son. We can see that the Holy Spirit indicated that the land was not of this age, that the Son was not of this age. Does it seem strange that the land is not of this age? That the Son is not of this age? It is not the land that is Holy but the true son with Holy sandals He is Holy, and those who are “In Christ” are in the true land where the promises have their reality.

If  the “holy land” has been replaced by the son who is Holy and those who were pictured “in the land” were just learning how to live “in Christ”, meaning the same thing. The same way those who honored King Solomon were learning to honor Christ as the real King.

Earthly Jerusalem or JeruShalom was given a king  Sholom/Solomon. The city wears his name. We bear the name of Christ. We are of his city, we are a royal generation, a holy people. Why? Not because we are in a holy land, for that is an oxymoron but we by faith are in true Holiness or Holy land “in the Son” who has the Name, who sanctified all of this by His blood. He sanctified a people not a place.

So who are the citizens? John 1.13 those born not man or flesh but of God. Who then is the Jew? Rom 2.28 the jew is not the outward appearance but the inward circumcision of the heart.

Where then is Israel? Gal 6.15-16 “in Christ”. The only thing that matters is the new creation, as many as walk by this rule, peace, or Shalome be upon them, upon the true Israel of God.” Amen

It has never been about land and lavished buildings and extravagant festivities. These were all tutors to bring us to faith. To understand their eternal counterpart. (Galatians 4)

In this way, The Kingdom of God is at hand. Amen!

*Answer of a Good Conscience. Peter 3.21


Posted on July 24, 2013 by ADMIN

ANSWER OF A GOOD CONSCIENCE 1 PETER 3.21

Peter was speaking of the baptism in chapter 3 he says. there is also an antitype that saves us namely baptism. not the removal of the filth of the flesh but an answer of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ. who has ascended into heaven and is at the right hand of God, angels and authorities and powers having been made subject to Him.t

Here is a remarkable truth. It is not necessary for God to need our bodies out of the way to get on with us in a relationship like He had with Adam and Eve. It is the marred conscience that is in the way. He requires us to have a good conscience and this is the gift we get by identifying with Christ on the cross. But we don’t stay at the cross. We move on as God allows.

1 Peter 4.1 Therefor since Christ suffered in the flesh arm yourself with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin.

It does not say arm your body, or kill your body but arm your mind. It is here we find the gift, for Christ by the grace of God has tasted death for every man, especially those who believe. The question then is if we arm our mind what happens to the sin? Isn’t God watching that? Having put off the flesh by faith we have to redefine sin.

In Zach 3 we see Joshua the high priest standing before God and Satan accusing him. The Lord rebuked Satan, then says of Joshua “Is this not a brand plucked from the fire? The Lord instructed those who stood by to remove the filthy garments and to cloth him in rich robes.

We also are a brand plucked from the fire and furnished with rich robes, the righteousness of Christ by faith, and if our conscience or Satan accuse us we have a good answer for a clean conscience. Look at the cross. The glorious reality of this truth is this. We no longer keep track of sin in the old fashion. God doesn’t. Blessed is the man in whom the Lord does not impute sin”. This imputation is the same as an accountant who keeps tabs of debt. Maybe like your credit card monthly bill. But we open up our spiritual billing and the account always reads “paid in full”.

So then here is how we define sin now as it pertains to the clean conscience, the new man.

In Romans 14 Paul was talking about our freedoms when it comes to what day to worship, what foods to eat, what to drink and in general what is our mind set now that we are past sin according to law. Verse 22 do you have faith? And, Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. But he who doubts is condemned if he eats because he does not eat of faith, (and here is the key) for whatever is not of faith is sin.

Sin relates now to faith being actions in the mind as it pertains to the leading of God, verses the body carried away with cravings. If we understand as it says in Hebrews 11.6 that without faith it is impossible to please God, we learn that it is more important to follow His Spirit then to go back to law. We know if an external law helped, Christ would not have gone to the cross. This then is the struggle of the flesh, we would rather have a list of “thou shalt not” on the refrigerator than to follow the spirit. Then to follow the unction of the Spirit.

So then when Satan, ourselves or anybody accuses us and tries to put us on the defense and throw our minds into a whirlwind of apologizing, making excuses, and confessing we have an answer of a good conscience. This becomes the act of faith that pleases God. With Joshua the Lord had the sin removed and had him robed in fine linen and we do that by faith. This pleases God.

I do not taint my relationship with my heavenly Father by dwelling on sin in the flesh. It is an insult to the Spirit of grace. The sin factor is gone in the spirit, in the heavens and in our minds if our mind is set on the Spirit, the things that are above, This pleases God. We are unobstructed and unhindered, without excuse to relate to God. Let nothing come between you and that. When we hear correction from the heavenly voice we make the necessary adjustments in our walk and move on.

Back to 1 Peter we read that Satan is like a roaring lion seeking whom he may devour whom resist steadfast in the faith,  knowing that the same is being experienced by your brotherhood in the world.”

Here is the key. Are we “in Christ” or “in the world”? If we succumb to the accusations like Joshua, we have to ask ourselves are we in the flesh or in faith. For if you are in the flesh, you are in the world where Satan is active. If you are in the faith Satan’s words fall on deaf ears. God is not listening, He is not imputing. Why are we.

This is where we appropriate our faith and give God the Glory. Instead of apologizing for yet another short coming on our part, bless God because he paved the way once for all. This is faith and this pleases God. He really is not happy with continual apologies and confessions as though that keeps us clean like the continual sacrifices of old. He didn’t like that either. But he likes an answer of a clear conscience washed by the blood of the lamb. The accuser of the brethren is cast down when we do that. We are accounted as seated with Him in heavenly places. Far above all powers and principalities. The roaring lion becomes  toothless road kill .

Here are a couple other verses that expand on this

Heb 10.1-22 with sin gone by faith, another act of faith is to enter the holiest of all by the blood of Christ.
John 17.15 Christ prayed not that we would be taken out of the world but that we would be protected from evil.
1 John 2.12-14 are the words that “you have overcome the wicked one’.

My work of faith is to follow the Holy Spirit. I do not glorify Satan for any of his mischievousness for he is limited to what God allows him. Like the serpent who was a staff in Moses hand, so is Satan in the hand of Christ, all power and authority having been given to Him.  It is when I test the boundaries of the promise. To be in Christ by faith, or in the world. If I fill myself with the spirit and not the world satan stands no chance.

This obviously does not apply to murderers, fornicators and such. On gray area items Paul said. “I am free to do all things, I will not be subject to the power of them.”  If you can’t control it you may be giving room to the enemy.
Accept the gift of a clear conscience and explore the greater realities in Christ. In this way,
The Kingdom of God is at hand.

THE WISDOM SOLOMON MET. EXCERPTS FROM THE BOOK OF SOLOMON IN THE KING JAMES BIBLE

I have found it unfortunate that steps taken by the church fathers to protect their form of religion and to promote their doctrines have truncated the word and purpose of God.

Having seen the Holy Spirit in the bible as the comforter, another helper so you are not left orphans and as the gift given in place of Jerusalem, I decided to dig a little deeper and this is something I found to help me understand the 3rd person in the Godhead. The Wisdom Solomon knew is this person. Solomon,s name means “peace”. With Solomon as Davids son and king, with his wife and city Jerusalem, meaning city of peace. So you have the king of peace in the city of peace. But these were only pictures given to teach us about those whom we cannot see. So may we introduce to you “King Shaloman in Jerusalem-shalom. Same root words. This ones name is Wisdom.

Blessings

1.3 For froward thoughts separate from God: and his power, when it is tried, reproveth the unwise.

4 For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter; nor dwell in the body that is subject unto sin.

5 For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and remove from thoughts that are without understanding, and will not abide

when unrighteousness cometh in.

6 For wisdom is a loving spirit; and will not acquit a blasphemer of his words: for God is witness of his reins, and a true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.

7 For the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world: and that which containeth all things hath knowledge of the voice.

 

6.12 Wisdom is glorious, and never fadeth away: yea, she is easily seen of them that love her, and found of such as seek her.

13 She preventeth them that desire her, in making herself first known unto them.  John 14.17

14 Whoso seeketh her early shall have no great travail: for he shall find her sitting at his doors.

15 To think therefore upon her is perfection of wisdom: and whoso watcheth for her shall quickly be without care.

16 For she goeth about seeking such as are worthy of her, sheweth herself favourably unto them in the ways, and meeteth them in every thought.

17 For the very true beginning of her is the desire of discipline; and the care of discipline is love;

18 And love is the keeping of her laws; and the giving heed unto her laws is the assurance of incorruption;

19 And incorruption maketh us near unto God:

20 Therefore the desire of wisdom bringeth to a kingdom.

21 If your delight be then in popthrones and sceptres, O ye kings of the people, honour wisdom, that ye may reign for evermore.

22 As for wisdom, what she is, and how she came up, I will tell you, and will not hide mysteries from you: but will seek her out from the beginning of her nativity, and bring the knowledge of her into light, and will not pass over the truth.

23 Neither will I go with consuming envy; for such a man shall have no fellowship with wisdom.

 

7.6 For all men have one entrance into life, and the like going out.

7 Wherefore I prayed, and understanding was given me: I called upon God, and the spirit of wisdom came to me.

8 I preferred her before sceptres and thrones, and esteemed riches nothing in comparison of her.

9 Neither compared I unto her any precious stone, because all gold in respect of her is as a little sand, and silver shall be counted as clay before her.

10 I loved her above health and beauty, and chose to have her instead of light: for the light that cometh from her never goeth out.

11 All good things together came to me with her, and innumerable riches in her hands.

12 And I rejoiced in them all, because wisdom goeth before them: and I knew not that she was the mother of them.

13 I learned diligently, and do communicate her liberally: I do not hide her riches.

14 For she is a treasure unto men that never faileth: which they that use become the friends of God, being commended for the gifts that come from learning.

15 God hath granted me to speak as I would, and to conceive as is meet for the things that are given me: because it is he that leadeth unto wisdom, and directeth the wise.

 

7

22 For wisdom, which is the worker of all things, taught me: for in her is an understanding spirit holy, one only, manifold, subtil, lively, clear, undefiled, plain, not subject to hurt, loving the thing that is good quick, which cannot be letted, ready to do good,

23 Kind to man, steadfast, sure, free from care, having all power, overseeing all things, and going through all understanding, pure, and most subtil, spirits.

24 For wisdom is more moving than any motion: she passeth and goeth through all things by reason of her pureness.

25 For she is the breath of the power of God, and a pure influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty: therefore can no defiled thing fall into her.

26 For she is the brightness of the everlasting light, the unspotted mirror of the power of God, and the image of his goodness.

27 And being but one, she can do all things: and remaining in herself, she maketh all things new: and in all ages entering into holy souls, she maketh them friends of God, and prophets.

28 For God loveth none but him that dwelleth with wisdom.

29 For she is more beautiful than the sun, and above all the order of stars: being compared with the light, she is found before it. .

 

8.

1 Wisdom reacheth from one end to another mightily: and sweetly doth she order all things.

2 I loved her, and sought her out from my youth, I desired to make her my spouse, and I was a lover of her beauty.

3 In that she is conversant with God, she magnifieth her nobility: yea, the Lord of all things himself loved her.

4 For she is privy to the mysteries of the knowledge of God, and a lover of his works.

5 If riches be a possession to be desired in this life; what is richer than wisdom, that worketh all things?

6 And if prudence work; who of all that are is a more cunning workman than she?

7 And if a man love righteousness her labours are virtues: for she teacheth temperance and prudence, justice and fortitude: which are such things, as en can have nothing more profitable in their life.

8 If a man desire much experience, she knoweth things of old, and conjectureth aright what is to come: she knoweth the subtilties of speeches, and can expound dark sentences: she foreseeth signs and wonders, and the events of seasons and times.

9 Therefore I purposed to take her to me to live with me, knowing that she would be a counsellor of good things, and a comfort in cares and grief.

10 For her sake I shall have estimation among the multitude, and honour with the elders, though I be young.

11 I shall be found of a quick conceit in judgment, and shall be admired in the sight of great men.

12 When I hold my tongue, they shall bide my leisure, and when I speak, they shall give good ear unto me: if I talk much, they shall lay their hands upon their mouth.

13 Moreover by the means of her I shall obtain immortality, and leave behind me an everlasting memorial to them that come after me.

14 I shall set the people in order, and the nations shall be subject unto me.

15 Horrible tyrants shall be afraid, when they do but hear of me; I shall be found good among the multitude, and valiant in war.

16 After I am come into mine house, I will repose myself with her: for her conversation hath no bitterness; and to live with her hath no sorrow, but mirth and joy.

17 Now when I considered these things in myself, and pondered them in my heart, how that to be allied unto wisdom is immortality;

18 And great pleasure it is to have her friendship; and in the works of her hands are infinite riches; and in the exercise of conference with her, prudence; and in talking with her, a good report; I went about seeking how to take her to me.

19 For I was a witty child, and had a good spirit.

20 Yea rather, being good, I came into a body undefiled.

21 Nevertheless, when I perceived that I could not otherwise obtain her, except God gave her me; and that was a point of wisdom also to know whose gift she was; I prayed unto the Lord, and besought him, and with my whole heart I said,

9.

1 O God of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who hast made all things with thy word,

2 And ordained man through thy wisdom, that he should have dominion over the creatures which thou hast made,

3 And order the world according to equity and righteousness, and execute judgment with an upright heart:

4 Give me wisdom, that sitteth by thy throne; and reject me not from among thy children:

5 For I thy servant and son of thine handmaid am a feeble person, and of a short time, and too young for the understanding of judgment and laws.

6 For though a man be never so perfect among the children of men, yet if thy wisdom be not with him, he shall be nothing regarded.

7 Thou hast chosen me to be a king of thy people, and a judge of thy sons and daughters:

8 Thou hast commanded me to build a temple upon thy holy mount, and an altar in the city wherein thou dwellest, a resemblance of the holy tabernacle, which thou hast prepared from the beginning.

9 And wisdom was with thee: which knoweth thy works, and was present when thou madest the world, and knew what was acceptable in thy sight, and right in thy commandments.

10 O send her out of thy holy heavens, and from the throne of thy glory, that being present she may labour with me, that I may know what is pleasing unto thee.

11 For she knoweth and understandeth all things, and she shall lead me soberly in my doings, and preserve me in her power.

 

17 And thy counsel who hath known, except thou give wisdom, and send thy Holy Spirit from above?

18 For so the ways of them which lived on the earth were reformed, and men were taught the things that are pleasing unto thee, and were saved through wisdom.

 

10.

1 She preserved the first formed father of the world, that was created alone, and brought him out of his fall,

2 And gave him power to rule all things.

3 But when the unrighteous went away from her in his anger, he perished also in the fury wherewith he murdered his brother.

4 For whose cause the earth being drowned with the flood, wisdom again preserved it, and directed the course of the righteous in a piece of wood of small value.

5 Moreover, the nations in their wicked conspiracy being confounded, she found out the righteous, and preserved him blameless unto God, and kept him strong against his tender compassion toward his son.

6 When the ungodly perished, she delivered the righteous man, who fled from the fire which fell down upon the five cities.

7 Of whose wickedness even to this day the waste land that smoketh is a testimony, and plants bearing fruit that never come to ripeness: and a standing pillar of salt is a monument of an unbelieving soul.

8 For regarding not wisdom, they gat not only this hurt, that they knew not the things which were good; but also left behind them to the world a memorial of their foolishness: so that in the things wherein they offended they could not so much as be hid.

9 Rut wisdom delivered from pain those that attended upon her.

10 When the righteous fled from his brother’s wrath she guided him in right paths, shewed him the kingdom of God, and gave him knowledge of holy things, made him rich in his travels, and multiplied the fruit of his labours.

11 In the covetousness of such as oppressed him she stood by him, and made him rich.

12 She defended him from his enemies, and kept him safe from those that lay in wait, and in a sore conflict she gave him the victory; that he might know that goodness is stronger than all.

13 When the righteous was sold, she forsook him not, but delivered him from sin: she went down with him into the pit,

14 And left him not in bonds, till she brought him the sceptre of the kingdom, and power against those that oppressed him: as for them that had accused him, she shewed them to be liars, and gave him perpetual glory.

15 She delivered the righteous people and blameless seed from the nation that oppressed them.

16 She entered into the soul of the servant of the Lord, and withstood dreadful kings in wonders and signs;

17 Rendered to the righteous a reward of their labours, guided them in a marvellous way, and was unto them for a cover by day, and a light of stars in the night season;

18 Brought them through the Red sea, and led them through much water:

19 But she drowned their enemies, and cast them up out of the bottom of the deep.

20 Therefore the righteous spoiled the ungodly, and praised thy holy name, O Lord, and magnified with one accord thine hand, that fought for them.

21 For wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and made the tongues of them that cannot speak eloquent.

*Ex-Resurrection and the Ascention

Ex-Resurrection, the Ascention

Acts 4.20 We cannot but speak the things we have seen and heard.  These are the words of Peter spoke to Jews when they arrested him. Sounds like the words Jesus spoke to Nicodemus, that “We speak what We know and testify what We have seen”. Peter may have understood the plurality of God in himself as Jesus displayed as should we.
Paul had first hand insight to the plurality of God dwelling in us. He knows when the plurality is present in him or if he just speaks on his own authority, meaning solo. Read I Cor 7.25+40 as examples.
We make this point because God does not want us to be in darkness, meaning uncertainty. We can “walk in the light as He is in the light”.
I was drawn to Philippian 3 this morning to dig into, having my proverbial knife and fork in hand, bib under my chin, seated at the Kings table, partaking of this great feast. For We often sup together (Rev 3.20).
My focus was to return to vs 10. where I had previously caught a glimpse of the ascension as our proper focus. It reads “that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection (anastasis), and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death,  if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection (ex-anastasis)  from the dead”.
In researching the greek words interpretated “resurrection” used two times in that passage, I find the translators again show their confusion. These are two different words for resurrection. One of them arises from the other. The first use for the word “resurrection” is the word “anastasis” and is rightly translated “resurrection”. The second time resurrection is used is the word “ex-anastasis”, which they also translate resurrection, and that was a blunder.
This is the one and only time in the scriptures “ex” is used with “anastasis”. So one could simply deduce that they are NOT the same and should not have been translated the same or Paul would have used the word “anastasis” twice instead of adding an “ex” attached to the front of them which explicitly differentiates it from the other. When you are in a thing, to leave is to exit. This is a more appropriate view of anastasis and ex-anastasis. The second one leaves the first.
I believe Paul was showing us a difference and  even a contrast. Ex-anastasis, meaning out of resurrection. Ex means out like exit. Pauls inference to leave the resurrection was referring to the ascention as an object of our faith. A topic largely overlooked in scripture, but part and parcel of the gospel.
So as a believer you are in the resurrection from baptism, being raised to newness of life “In Christ”, which Paul commonly teaches, like in Romans and elsewhere. That you are raised from the dead, for you to be able to ascend. This is the correct picture of the resurrection (from the dead) to then ascend is more accurate.
This is why Paul wrote in the same chapter “ I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Describing for us and elevation change.
So you can be called “ex” out of the resurrection, like popcorn in a pan. We reach forward in the faith. To know the “resurrection” or the “power of the resurrection” is the ascention. It’s the difference of seeing a rocket on the ground verses experiencing the take off. Arise, let us go up from here, as Christ commonly said. This is clearly what Paul is trying to convey here in Philippians 3 by saying things like “I press towards the prize, the upward (ascending) call”, and “I leave those things behind and reaching forward (ascending,) to those things that are ahead” or above. And “as many as are mature have this mind”.
Paul goes on to say “follow my example’. And his focus is then stated in verse 20 saying, “For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. So to ex-anastasis, ex-out of the resurrection is to look to the things above and ascend, (Col3.1) Look to the things that are not seen (I Cor 4.20). Or even like in Hebrews 11 that “they looked to the city whose builder and maker is God”.
To put this into proper perspective, I was watching a Youtube clip about “Christian Zionist” and the push to support Israel, Jerusalem, and a third temple. It was Christian leaders with  Zionist Jews. To this Paul addresses perfectly as a contrast of focus, stating,  “Brethren, join me in following my example, and note those who so walk, as you have us for a pattern. For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ, whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their mind on earthly things. For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.
So if we are hidden “in  Christ” to be revealed in the last time, that we will appear with Him in Glory? Don”t short sell your inheritance. Don”t be like Esau who traded his inheritance for an earthly morsal. For that is what we do if we buy into the lie of an earthly city for god. That is dispicable.
Hold fast to the word of faith, for in due time we will reap if we do not faint.
So which Kingdom is ours? I think the distinction is clear. For as many as have this hope? Peace be upon them, upon the Israel of God.
For those who understand old testament pictures, When Abram went into Egypt he said that Sarah was his sister. Why? Because he was afraid they would kill him. And rightly so, those in the world, in Egypt, kill the Bridegroom and take the bride to themselves. They build the city. They deny Christ, the King of that city, the true city, they build a counterfeit. Be it Rome, Mecca, or Jerusalem.
As many as are mature look to our citizenship from above.
The Kingdom of God is at hand, as you arise in understanding. Blessings

Pilgrims

PILGRIMS

We are Pilgrims. Yes we have an eternal hope, which means we are on a heavenly journey. This journey is pictured in scripture as, going up to Zion and going up to Jerusalem. It is growing in the understanding and the internal likeness of our risen Lord.

He said to “follow me that where I am you may be also”. He said “tell the others that I have ascended to my God and your God, to My Father and your Father.” This is our journey and our pilgrimage. This is seeking the things that are above. “Where Christ is sitting at the right hand of the Father”. This should be our focus. As Paul said “to lay hold of why Christ laid hold of me.
For the spirit and purpose of prophesy is the Revelation of Jesus Christ. “Lo the volume of the book is written of me”. To shine the eternal light on the Son seated now with the father in Glory, as being our objective of faith.
The purpose of the Holy Spirit according to Jesus is to “take what is mine and declare it to you”. “To tell you things to come” as it pertains to the invisible Kingdom. If I may translate, “to take what is mine, break it down in small enough pieces for human consumption”, divided up in feast days and priestly services, better seen in the life of Jesus on earth as the bread of life, to understand our sanctification and heavenly calling.
We being called both Priests and Kings in His Kingdom need to understand both the sacrifice and the reward. The resurrection and the ascension. Our flesh may be deprived of these things but as we are instructed to “recon our bodies dead”, to be alive in the Spirit so we can recon other things also.
If we don’t learn this one tool “to recon”, meaning to consider and appropriated by faith, then we might as well throw away the first 8 chapters in the book of Romans. “It is God who gives life to the dead and calls those things that do not exist as though they do. Paul’s point is our body is dead because of sin but alive because of His Holy Spirit who now dwells in us.
This is the premise of our faith. He calls things into existence we cannot see, and this is what we will be judged by as believers. If we believe or not. “Hath God really said?” Our flesh always sides with the Devil because “The carnal mind is enmity with God. It is not subject to the laws of God and neither indeed can be so then those who come to God in the flesh cannot please Him”. Meaning the carnal demands are at war with The Father. As Christ rebuked Peter saying “get behind me Satan for you are not mindful of the things of God but of man”. Showing us that Peter was still operating off his old nature.
But “we by the Spirit thus judge that if one man died for all then all are dead”. We live in Zombie land. Now what do we do? We judge some more and we recon some more, we believe some more. Faith being the substance of things not seen that we collect in the Spirit of our minds.
I believe that is what overcomes the obstacles pictured to Joshua and Caleb. Yep we saw the great deliverance from Egypt, and we saw our enemies drowned by the water of the Red sea, but that’s it. If we can’t see it with our eyes we won’t believe it? Our carnal mind will lay things out on a time frame and call it “dispensations”, then we will see it and believe it? Like Thomas said, “Unless I put my fingers in the wounds”. Or of Mary regarding Lazarus, “Lord if you had only been here, by now he stinketh. And Jesus wept”. But not over Lazarus death, but because that is not an obstacle for Him, but our unbelief is. That is Christ wept.
From 1st John, What overcomes the world? Our faith. Not the facts or our deeds.
Let us define the initial topic of “pilgrimage”. This being the journey from when we first stepped into “the promised land” shown in the book of Joshua. The passing over into it though baptism, which portrays us being baptized into Christ, now being in Christs promises. This is the true promise land being His Word, we now journey to The City of God. We now grow in understand by revelation of us seated with our Lord in his Kingdom that is “not of this age”, meaning not of this creation, being the place we are called. The heavenly, invisible one. The one that some in this age experience now by faith.
Hebrews 12.22

22 But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 23 to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect (of which they acquired while they were in the flesh). 24 to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.”

Hear the Heavenly Voice

25 See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, how much more shall we NOT escape, if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven, 26 whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, “Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven.” 27 Now this, “Yet once more”, indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain.” So we should know what composition to expect.

28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear (not to be mistaken for an Adam like, self preserving fear.  29 For our God is a consuming fire.”

Now we will see that the mindset of pilgrimage is a key to the kingdom now, by faith, from Psalms 84.5-7

Blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
6 As they pass through the Valley of Baca,
They make it a spring;
The rain also covers it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength;
Each one appears before God in Zion”.

Even Moses understood the pilgrimage and the heavenly place for us that the Lord built with His hands, meaning not of this creation. Here from the song of Moses in Ex 15, which if you remember it was also sung in the book of Revelation.
Ex 15. 17 You (God) will bring them (His people) in and plant them

In the mountain of Your inheritance,
In the place, O Lord, which You have made
For Your own dwelling,
The sanctuary, O Lord, which Your hands have established.” And not the works of men.

That is the focus. Eternal, Holy, separate from sinners and this created realm down here.

So then, “Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord?
Or who may stand in His holy place?
 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol,
Nor sworn deceitfully.
 He shall receive blessing from the Lord,
And righteousness from the God of his salvation.
6 This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him,
We who seek Your face. Selah
The Kingdom of God is at hand in this way.

Tomb where no man lay

TOMB WHERE NO MAN LAY.

The eternal gift of life is timeless. What has been given to us “In Christ” cannot not be lost or taken away because it is not related to the creation of emc=square of time and matter or any of things made from the Big Bang. That is why we are instructed to not look at the things that are seen for the things that are seen are temporary but the things that are unseen are eternal. The gift from God can never be seen with human eyes. “Flesh and blood does not inherit the kingdom”. For even Christ himself, the one who brought immortality to light through the gospel, did not appear in His royalty. And His own words? “My Kingdom is not of this age”. Meaning this creation that we physically experience.

We are called to His eternal Glory. Paul said “to be found “In Him” not having my own righteousness but that which is by faith in Jesus Christ. Paul also said of his listeners that it was his desire to present them to the Lord as “chaste virgins”. This has nothing to do with our humanity or our past, of which Paul counted all as dung, but it has everything to do with us being found “in Christ”.

We see in Zechariah 3 Joshua the high priest standing before the Lord and Satan accusing him. And what did the Lord say of Joshua? Is this not a brand plucked from the fire? The Lord proceeded to instruct those who stood by to “take away the filthy garments, see I will clothe you with rich robes”. Those who stand before the Lord, and we all do if we have His Spirit, are never seen by Him in our old nature. For “even the holy angels behold the face of the Father when they see these little ones”. Us. It is only our guilty conscience and the fallen angels that try to drag our stinky old carcass into the presence of our Father. Like a cat dragging a half dead rat into the house. Get that thing out of here!

And this is what we do whenever we bring before the Lord our failures or our human accomplishments, good and bad. Our continual confessing of sin or bragging are equally repulsive to the Father. When it comes to sin His answer has always been the same. He dealt with it at the cross. Both of those actions deny the perfect offering, the sinless sacrifice, the lamb without spot or blemish. The one who died to free us from sin. Anytime we try to drag are old carcass into His presence it is as if we say ” No Christ wasn’t enough”. Even from Hebrews 10.2 that the worshipers once purged should have no consciousness of sin. Receive this gift for it is part of the package.

The Lord acknowledges those who exist on the resurrection side of the cross. This is why “if anyone is “In Christ” he is a new creation, all things are made new”. We offer ourselves living sacrifices which is our new spiritual man. As we learn to put on Christ we find ourselves in a place where no man can go, where no man has been, meaning those born from Adam.

You see Christ came to us by a virgin birth and He lay down after the cross in a tomb no man lay in before to display this truth. The place where He came from and where He went has nothing to do with man or time and matter And as we accept the gift, the new creation in His like likeness, the one who is spirit and truth, we too are found, that is our souls that have been purified by the word of truth, we are found as a tomb where no man lay and like the virgin whom no man has defiled. A place before and after all humanity Why? Because that is the timeless eternal gift spotless, pure and undefilable reserved for us in heaven. Which cannot be tainted by humanity and that includes our old dead carcass of a man.

Our human body and our mind as it relates to our old self are non existent and have no place before the throne of God. They are pre-Christ and unclean and nothing that is defiled can enter. The sacrifice you take into His presence is His Son Himself and that is what He sees in us. If there was any other acceptable gift then the Son, then the Son died in vain. This is what it means to be found “in Him’.

Are we “in Christ” or “in the world”? Are we trying to bring the half dead rat into the house of God? Are we offering up continual efforts of doing the best we can and covering our short comings with confessions instead of His blood? This is where Satan wants you to confuse you. The roaring lion who is seeking whom he may devour, knowing that this suffering is experienced by our brotherhood where? “in the world”. To that I say, get “in Christ”. Put on the “new man”.

I John 2.12+ I write to you children because your sins are forgiven for His names sake. I write to you new men because you have overcome the wicked one, and because you are strong and the word of God abides in you.

IN THAT DAY

The Coming of the Kingdom, by faith or fact?

Lk17.20 Now when He was asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God would come, He answered them and said, “The kingdom of God does not come with observation; 21 nor will they say, ‘See here!’ or ‘See there!’[a] For indeed, the kingdom of God is within you.”

22 Then He said to the disciples, “The days will come (like today) whenyou will desire to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it. 23 And they will say to you, ‘Look here!’ or ‘Lookthere!’[b] Do not go after them or follow them.

 

John 19.36 36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.”

 

Christ clearly states that His Kingdom is of a different make up. He indicates that with the temple too when He said He would rebuild the it in 3 days. He was talking about His body. Subsequently we see the brick temple of that day ripped from top to bottom to where “the earth quaked, and the rocks were split”. Mt 27.51. Totally condemned and put out of business. Any structure of our day with that damage would not allow access but tear it down. But He rose victorious. And of that old age of a physical kingdom being Jerusalem, in Mt 11.13 that “all the law and the prophets were until John” the baptist. Meaning that all the pictures that were played out through the feasts and the sacrifices in the tabernacle/temple, were pictures of the eternal reality, the invisible kingdom, but not the kingdom itself. So when Christ kept saying “the Kingdom of God/Heaven is at hand” He meant right here right now!  The whole old order had expired as seen as the main theme in the book of Hebrews. 8.1 Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who isseated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens, 2 a Minister of the sanctuary and of the true tabernacle which the Lord erected, and not man. And again in Heb 8 13 In that He says, “A new covenant,” He has made the first obsolete.(mosaic) Now what is becoming obsolete and growing old is ready to vanish away. (the city the temple and the sacrifices up to 70 a.d.by Titus) So then the law, the sacrifices, the temple, the city, and the land have all expired as having had only temporary, pictorial meaning to describe the eternal. Eye has not seen nor cannot see the kingdom of God, nor ever will. But it is revealed by the spirit. So Christ truly set up the Kingdom to those born of the spirit, even as Paul said in Galatians that we are born from above, heavenly Jerusalem. So it is from that place that we are of the new creation, as Paul said in 2 Cor  17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.  So flesh and blood does not inherit the kingdom. I Cor 15.50  Once again in John 4 when Christ was talking to the lady at the well, 21 Jesus said to her, “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, worship the Father.23 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. 24 God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.” I plead with you not to follow the seekers of a kingdom on earth. Or even as Paul pleaded in Cor 5.20 “be ye reconciled” 6.2 2 For He says:

“In an acceptable time I have heard you, And in the day of salvation I have helped you.”[a]

Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

 

Too many people are looking over there when it is right here, “at hand”

Is Christ really coming down in this age to sit on some silly chair in a temple made by men?

 

Look at what YHWH told Ezekiel when he was taken up in visions to see something like the structure of a city. Ez 40.2. After an in-depth examination of that city in that heavenly vision he was instructed to “describe the temple to the people of Israel that they may be ashamed. Ez 43.10

 

Ashamed of what? At the notion that YHWH dwells in buildings made in this age by masons. Acts 17.24, Ex 20.25

This may be hard to receive but that whole thing going on in modern day Israel is anti-Christ. Not only is Christ the Temple, but the true city is a timeless eternal one (Heb 12.22, Mt 25.34) Anything else is a counterfeit. And we can say this also of “the land”. Let me demonstrate from scripture.
In Ex 4.22 the Lord said “Israel is my son, my firstborn“  Well we know Christ really is, but Israel is a picture of Christ. And we know they divided up the inheritance in Joshua and Israel became a land, hence “The promised land”. But Christ is the true son and the true land. That is why the “promised land” is not mentioned once in the New Testament, because those who are truly in the land, are in Christ, are in the firstborn, are in His Son, are in the spirit, and livingin His promises they are born from above and of that kingdom.
So since we are hid in Him (Col 3.1) let us seek the things that are in Him and not in the world. Keeping our eyes on Him and His kingdomthat is “not like this world”. Let us now enjoy the things He reveals to us by the spirit and the fruits of that Kingdom, looking for the blessed hope of being revealed with the One of whom we now enjoy being in His presence .

The Calendar, New Moon or New Month?


Posted on May 24, 2013 by ADMIN

STRONGS #2320 NEW MOON? OR MONTH

I find it interesting that Judaism, Messianic’s, Ephramite’s, Nasarene’s and sacred namers for the most part use the lesser light of the night to rule their days, months and years. Doesn’t Islam, Wickans, Pagans, satanist and other cults do this?
Let’s look at this.

In the Strongs concordance from the Hebrew it translates chodesh # 2320 as months with the exception of when it is used for new moon only 8 out of about 250 times, and only in connection to the phrase “new moon”. Other than those 8 times, it is never used in equation with the luminary called the “moon”, just in reference to the measurement of time. New moon could easily be a mis-translation.

Strongs translates Yareach # 3391-4 as moon. These are associated with luminaries and the heavens. There are few times this word for moon is translated “month”. Usually in connection with pagan month names possibly in reference to pagan names brought up from Egypt and in exile in Babylon.

Other than the already mentioned minor exceptions moon/yareach and, month/chodesh are not interchangeable. New moons [2320] should be translated new months because it refers to times, not luminaries, where it is always translated months.

There goes the verses supporting a moon month from the scriptures.

Think about the moon as an anti-type. In size its about the same as the sun to the naked eye, but infinitely smaller. It possesses no light of itself. It is called the lesser light in importance but it determines the days months and years? Mmh! What does the sun do?

The only feast celebrated by night is the Passover. Which pictures coming out of darkness into the light.

My research has led me to Enoch’s calendar or also known as the Essene calendar, which is more stable then the Gregorian calendar.

The point is this. God gave a miraculous clock in the sky and it’s not the moon. To the one who sets us free, why would he bind us to laborious task of following the moon?

More important is the admonition by Paul from Galatians 4.9-11

But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? 10 You observe days and months and seasons and years. 11 I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain.

PRIVATE: 2. HOLY SPIRIT IS FEMALE. GREEK GENDER AUTOU MEANS SELF NOT HE OR HIM

The following information was copied from the link below.  I have found that the translators from Greek to English chose to interpret the Holy Spirit as “He” and “Him”. Not only did they select to make the Spirit male, they chose to capitalize all references that one.

 

The point is this. There is more indications that the Holy Spirit is feminine. God in the beginning chose to reveal Himself in male and female. Gen 1.27 So God created man in His image. In the image of God He created him male and female. The purpose was to reveal Himself through Adam and Eve the parents of the first creation who were contrasts of the Bride and Bridegroom of the new creation, being the Word of God and the Breath, or Spirit of God. Those of the new creation are born of the Word and Spirit, both being equally and fully God. Please read the 1st article on this topic for a fuller understanding before you proceed.

(with the proper personal pronoun) of the other persons:

HE
Note: This pronoun is generally part of the translation of a verb. Frequently it translates the article before
nouns, adjectives, numerals, adverbs, prepositional phrases and the participial form of verbs. Apart from
these it translates one of the following:
1. autos ^846^, “he himself and no other,” emphatic, e. g., <Matt. 1:21>, where the RV brings out the
emphasis by the rendering “it is He”; <3:11> (last clause), where the repeated “He” brings out the emphasis;
in some cases it can be marked only by a circumlocution which would not constitute a translation, e. g.,
<8:24>; this use is very frequent, especially in the Gospels, the epistles of John and the Apocalypse; see
also, e. g., <Eph. 2:14; 4:11; 5:23,27>. See SAME, SELF, THIS, VERY.
(from Vine’s Expository Dictionary of Biblical Words, Copyright (C) 1985, Thomas Nelson Publishers)
Pronouns have many different uses in Greek.  One of the most common pronouns is autos. Its
ordinary use is to “stand in” for a noun to avoid repitition.  “James loved Mary, but Mary
couldn’t stand James” reduces to “James loved Mary, but she couldn’t stand him”.
In English:  (the third person personal pronoun is used like this)
Masculine  Feminine Neuter
Subjective: he   he it
Possessive: his her its
Objective: him her it
The only significant difference between the third person pronouns and the first and second is that
the third person singular pronouns HAVE GENDER.  The GENDER and NUMBER of
pronouns are determined by the GENDER and NUMBER of the antecedent, and their case is
determined by their function in the sentence.
In Greek:
Masc Fem Neut     Translation
Nominative: autos aute auto he she it
Gentive: autou autes autou his her its
Dative: auto aute auto to him to her to it
Accusative: auton auten auto him  her itSession 6-7 Addendum 3
We refer to autos in reference in its function as a personal pronoun.  This is because of its
translation in terms of the Holy Spirit as “he” and not “it”.  The words in John 14:17 in reference
to the Holy Spirit is “auto”, what would appear to be the neuter nominative case of the third
personal pronoun.  So, if He is PERSONAL and not IMPERSONAL. or masculine versus
feminine, why would AUTO be used and not AUTOS???
In this use (as a pronoun), the gender of the Greek pronoun (autos in this case) is determined
NOT BY NATURAL GENDER but BY THE GENDER of the ANTECEDENT.  For
example, if the antecedent if “world”, which is kosmos in Greek,  you would use the masculine
form of the pronoun (autos).  However, you would not translate autos as “he” but as “it”.  We
think of the world not as a “he” but as an “it”.  The translation of the of the pronoun is therefore
based on the natural gender of the Greek noun.
Why is the pronoun for the Holy Spirit “it” and not “he” then?  Because pneuma, the Greek
noun in this sentence, which is translated here as “Spirit”, is the ANTECEDENT of the pronoun
“auto”.  The word pneuma is NEUTER in Greek, and therefore, its pronoun SHOULD be
rendered “auto”, the NEUTER third person pronoun in Greek.  However, the English
translation would be rendered based on the NATURAL GENDER of the word being
reference, in this case the Holy Spirit.
How do we then know that the Holy Spirit is masculine, i.e. and therefore PERSONAL. Rom
8:26 is another place where “auto” is used as the pronoun for the Spirit, and this is still because
the antecedant is a NEUTER noun in the Greek:
Rom 8:26 And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know
how to pray as we should, but the Spirit
4151
[Pneúma] Himself
846
[auto]
intercedes for {us} with groanings too deep for words; (NAS)
pneuma = neuter, therefore auto = neuter, i.e. “itself” [KJV]
John 14:17 and Rom 8:26 are confusing only because of our inability to express English
perfectly into Greek. However… every other instance of personal pronoun usage in reference to
the Holy Spirit is MASCULINE, i.e. and therefore personal. ONLY BECA– — USE IT WAS THE TRANSLATERS CHOICE!

away, the Helper

From the Holy MT Sinai, to The Holy Sandals

FROM THE HOLY MOUNT TO THE HOLY SANDELS

Holy is a funny word. Sometimes we think it means to be pious or self righteous, a state of being perfect or clean or religious. But the truth is, simply put, holy means other dimensional, not of this world, unlike what we can comprehend naturally.

Every time the Mosaic priest and those who did the temple services, washed themselves and put on clean turbines and white linens, they were not making themselves holy but making the point that what they were doing was acting out like actors in a play, the unseen realities in heaven, so that you could see with the eyes in your head, of things that are in the spirit.
Moses went up to the mountain to the burning bush, and was told “take your sandals off, where you are standing is holy ground”. If you think about it that is an oxymoron itself. Holy ground? But he was instructed to take off the sandals, later told to make things according to the pattern seen on that “holy ground”. That God was showing him things from His dimension, the holy one, the invisible one, the place of the before time. The one eyes cannot see,nor can ear hear, but they are made known by the patterns shown at the mount.
The things seen on the holy mount starting with the burning bush were invisible, eternal realities broken down in concept for our understanding. God broken down into smaller concepts for human consumption. So then the eternal image as seen on the mount, was portrayed by them through the feasts, the rituals, the tabernacle and such for, them to understand the invisible.
But with Christ we have a new way, a living way to the Father that replaced those images. The image that now portrays the invisible is Christ. No longer take your sandals off as Moses was told, but keep your hands off Christs sandals. Like John the baptist said ” I am not the Christ, but the One who comes after me, whose sandals I am not worthy to loose”.
All the pictures, patterns and parables of the old from the mount and even the city of earthen Jerusalem had now been expired and found not on a mount or in a city but in the person many today called Jesus, meaning The Christ. As the Father said “this is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased”. Christ then correctly declares the Father, for “In Him” are all the Fathers invisible attributes, for in Him dwells the fullness of the Godhead body” to include all the aspects of the Father.
From Hebrews 1.1 God who in times past spoke to the fathers by the prophets and in fragments, in these last days He has spoken by the Son. His Son being found in a human body was the final revelation from God. As Christ declared at our crossover “it is finished”.
And from 2 Corinthians 5.17 “We once knew Christ in the flesh but from now on we don’t look at Him like that anymore”. What the old images could not do in that man did not assimilate them into the spirit, (God’s realm) God did, by sending Him in the likeness of the flesh (of something He was not before) condemning sin in the flesh, so that we who no longer walk according to the flesh, fulfill the righteous requirements of the flesh and now walk according to (in obedience and harmony to) the spirit…
This is the purpose of all revelation is for us to assimilate Him, His Kingdom at hand. That is what the new testament phrase of “put Him on” means. To assimilate, to become Him. As He is so are we, as John said.
Here is the scary part. The teaching in Romans 1 it says the gospel is to the Jew first. It says they knew God in all His invisible attributes, eternal power and  Godhead. This they knew from the patterns. But their hearts were darkened and they changed the Glory of the invisible God into an image of corruptible man. This was their first digression and if you study the passage, it is those whom “the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against those who suppress the truth.
My question then is this. Why in the world is it commonly taught that king Jesus will come onto the human stage and set up a kingdom of this world and rule it as a man? This is the same digression as the Jews who provoked the wrath of God. As Christ said “not one stone shall be left upon another”. You see all power from heaven and earth was already given to Him.
This was the lesson of king Saul. The Israelite’s rejected the invisible God from being their king and wanted a man. And what did God give them? Read 1st Samuel 8. Saul was a curse.
You see time and matter are given to us to learn how to assimilate the ever ready always present “kingdom of God”. God is not waiting for another day for King Jesus to do another work. On the cross He said “it is finished” He is waiting for us to wake up! He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the Kingdom of His Son. He has given to us everything that pertains to life and Godliness through the knowledge of Him who calls us to glory and virtue, that through these precious promises we are now partakers of the divine nature having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust’s. Need I say more? This is all in the scriptures. God made Him who knew no sin to become sin for us so that we could become Him.
I will end with this thought. Adam was created a man from the earth. He had a relationship with God and severed it with un-faith. Christ restored that so that now we can have what Adam lost. A relationship with the Father right now in our vessels made from clay. If God were to wipe out the earth so that you could get on with knowing Him, He would have to create the same earthly environment with all it’s tests and trials for you to grow in a knowledge of Him. As Christ prayed in John 17, Father I pray that you do not take them out of the world but that you keep them from the evil one.
Today is the day!!!
