A PORTION OF MANNA

By

Barbara J. Strauser

1983 - SET FREE

WE ARE BOUND TOGETHER AS ONE. YOU WILL SPEAK THE WORDS THAT I WILL GIVE YOU. THESE WORDS WILL PRECLUDE ALL PREVIOUS UNDERSTANDING. ONLY THE TRUTH THAT YOU HAVE WILL REMAIN: JESUS CHRIST IS THE SON OF GOD AND SAVIOR OF THE WORLD.

FEAR NOT, THINGS WILL BE AS I HAVE TOLD YOU. THIS WORK WILL GO FORWARD.

These words marked the beginning of my encounter with the Spirit of Truth, who Jesus has promised would lead us into all truth. Day after day words have been spoken to rearrange my mind and to transform my soul.

PEACE, PEACE, MY PEACE IS UPON YOU.

THE OBEDIENCE OF THOSE I HAVE CHOSEN IS SO IMPORTANT NOW. THE TURNING OF EVENTS IS RESTING ON OBEDIENCE. EACH ONE TURNS IN HIS TURN, EXCHANGING POSITIONS, MOVING AS EACH IS MOVED. NOT AHEAD OF ME BUT IN TIME, IN TIME. EVERYONE MUST OBEY NOW. ONE DISOBEDIENT CHILD CAN STYMIE THE MOVE. DON’T LET THAT ONE BE YOU.

THOSE I HAVE CHOSEN ARE OBEDIENT. THAT IS WHY THEY HAVE BEEN CHOSEN. THEY HAVE SHOWN ME THEY ARE WILLING AND EAGER TO OBEY. THESE DAYS ARE EXCITING TIMES - THE CULMINATION OF ALL THINGS THAT HAVE GONE BEFORE, THE CLIMAX, THE PINNACLE OF EVENTS.

EVENTS AND TURNINGS ARE TIMED. THEY MUST SYNCHRONIZE, ONE WITH THE OTHER. THIS IS WHY OBEDIENCE IS SO IMPORTANT.

~*~

LET ME USE YOU THIS DAY. TOGETHER WE WILL BE ABLE TO DO ALL THINGS. THOSE WHO HAVE TURNED THEIR BACKS ON ME WILL WELCOME ME INTO THEIR LIVES NOW. THE TIME OF AWAKENING IS HERE. WHOLE LIMBS WILL BE RESTORED. TISSUE AND BONE AND FLESH WILL BE RESTORED. ZEST FOR LIVING WILL BE REGAINED. THIS VIGOR WILL BE PUT TOWARD MY KINGDOM. THE WATER WILL BE FRESHENED. THE GREAT PUTTING DOWN OF THE FLESH IS AT HAND. THE BODY WILL BE HEALED.

HEALING WILL BE COMPLETE WHEN THE HOLOCAUST OCCURS.

Read Isaiah chapter 35

The healing that must be completed is of Christ’s body, which is the church. The holocaust offering will signal the Feast of Tabernacles. This is the Feast of Ingathering that is to occur at the time of the Final Harvest. The Feast of Tabernacles is a Jewish festival and a type and shadow of the greater celebration to come. The greater celebration will be at the turning of the age by the ultimate union of Christ and His church. The sublime will have been accomplished in the obedience of those who willingly lay down the robe of the flesh to take up the sword of truth and don the garment of peace, which is righteousness. That body which has been purified by obedience to truth is prepared through the processing for priesthood, and becomes the unprofaned flesh of the elect, the holocaust offering of the final Feast of Tabernacles. They no longer live by the blood but by the spirit.

LOOK AT THE ELM LEAVES THAT COME OUT ON THE TREES IN THE SPRING. THE GREEN SHOOTS THAT COME SOON FORM INTO THE SHAPE THAT THEY WILL HOLD. THEIR STIPULATED STRUCTURE KEEPS THEM AS ONE STRONG PIECE. SO IT IS WITH MY ELECT. AS EACH ONE COMES FORTH IN MY STRENGTH ALL SUPPORT THE BODY. ONE BROKEN RIB WEAKENS THE WHOLE. BE BONDED TOGETHER AS THIS LEAF. OBEDIENCE AND FAITHFULNESS PUT FORTH IN LOVE IS THE BONDING MATERIAL. NOW IS THE TIME FOR THIS STRENGTH.

I find it most interesting to note the importance of one broken rib, remembering that Eve is called Adam’s rib. The Spirit has taught me that Eve represents the soul. It is the soul that must be captured by the recreated spirit and taught, retrained and brought into obedience to Christ before the resurrection of the dead in Christ can occur.

"For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in his own turn: Christ, the first fruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power" (1 Corinthians 15:22, 23)

~*~

THIS IS THE PINNACLE OF EVENTS. I WILL MANIFEST MYSELF IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION, AND THIS COMMUNITY WILL SING MY PRAISES.

I ORDER YOUR STEPS - THE HOUSE OF THE LORD IS YOUR ETERNAL HOME. YOU HAVE ARRIVED. THERE IS NO STRIVING TO REACH THIS DESTINATION, ONLY A RESTING IN ME.

REACHING OUT IS MY MIGHTY ARM. I AM PLUCKING THEM UP WHERE THEY HAVE FALLEN - MY SOLDIERS. THEIR WEAPONS ARE SURE AND TRUE, MIGHTY IN POWER. WIELD THEM AS A SWORD. BEHEAD THE ENEMY. LET THE FOE FALL IN HIS BLOOD.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME CONCERNING THE UNRIGHTEOUS. I HAVE MY OWN WAY OF DEALING WITH THEM. DO NOT FEAR; I WILL BRING THEM IN.

THE SUPERNATURAL IS IN THE NATURAL. THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU WILL SEE THE MANIFESTED BODY OF CHRIST IS IN HIS HEALED, UNITED, MANY-MEMBERED BODY.

"Repent, then, and turn to God so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Christ, who has been appointed for you - even Jesus. He must remain in heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophet". (Acts 3:19, 20)

The congregation where the Lord will manifest Himself is the joined body of the elect. This is the New Holy Nation of Spiritual Israel, the community of people rising as one man - one mind, one will, and one purpose. The Supernatural in the natural is the Lord enthroned in His temple to make all things new and bring time to its fulfillment. (See Matthew 19:28 and Ephesians 1:10)

LONG BEFORE THINGS WERE

BEFORE THE BEGINNING,

WHEN ALL SPACE WAS VOID

WITHOUT ANY ENDING

THE SPIRIT OF GOD MOVED

BEYOND THE BEGINNING.

NOW TIME IS CHANGING

TO UNENDING,

AS IT WAS BEFORE THE BEGINNING.

ALL THAT WAS

MOVES ALWAYS FORWARD

TO THE BEGINNING OF TIME

THAT IS NOW

"Whatever is has been long ago, and whatever is going to be has been before; God brings to pass again what was in the distant past and disappeared". (Ecclesiastes 3:15)

~*~

I asked the Spirit of the Lord about the mystery concerning God and man in the time that is not recorded; also wanting to know how contemporary man is joined to that period.

THE MISSING LINK IS ENCLOSED WITHIN THE HEART OF THE EARTH.

MY SPIRIT MOVED BEYOND THE BEGINNING OF TIME, AS YOU KNOW IT. WHAT ALWAYS WAS ALWAYS SHALL BE. THERE IS NO BEGINNING TO THE ENDLESS SPIRIT OF GOD. THE ANCIENTS MADE NO ATTEMPT TO UNCOVER THE SECRETS OF WHAT HAD BEEN BEFORE THEM, AND THE SHADOWS OF THE PAST WILL REMAIN SHADOWS IN THIS AGE. WHEN ALL IS REVEALED, AND ALL TRUTH IS KNOWN, SO SHALL BE THE MYSTERIES OF UNFATHOMED TIME.

YOUR REVELATION IS IN THE NOW. THE THINGS TO BE SHOWN TO YOU ARE FOR THESE DAYS. THIS IS THE ERA THAT CRAVES THE ATTENTION OF THE PROPHET’S UNDERSTANDING. I HAVE CALLED YOU TO THE UNVEILING OF THE TIME THAT IS NOW.

MY WILL IS FOR THE REVELATION PERTAINING TO THE RETURNING OF MAN TO HIS FATHER AND THE SON TO HIS KINGDOM IN EARTH. LOOK FOR THE EVENTS TO OCCUR THAT ARE CLEARLY MARKED AS WRITINGS OF REVELATION. THE WORDS HAVE BEEN WRITTEN AND ARE REVEALED UNTO THE VESSELS OF MY CHOOSING.

THE TIME IS RIPE AND THE STRANDS OF THE AGES HAVE MOVED TO THE NOW THAT IS HERE. THE EPOCH IS UPON MANKIND THAT WILL WITNESS THE APPEARING OF THE KING OF GLORY.

The soul of man is the treasure chest within the heart of the earth. The jewels of all knowledge and understanding in God’s wisdom are waiting to be placed there. But without the nourishment of the Holy Spirit the soul will atrophy, and knowledge will fade away without truth being revealed to man. Man searches for truth in the strength of his own knowledge but that tree has no seed-bearing fruit - only logic.

Now is the time when the Wisdom of the Lord will reveal to His chosen all that cannot be comprehended in man’s own understanding. It is to the called out remnant that He speaks of the mysteries of His kingdom, thus bringing all that was in darkness into the light.

The Kingdom of God is upon us. The elect have been prepared through the concerted effect of the season of Christ’s indwelling. Hindrances have been removed making way for the connecting link to man’s beginnings to be found and joined through the Revelation of Christ to His church.

"Everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: ‘"Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.’" (Ephesians 5:13, 14)

~*~

THIS IS THE TURNING. I AM TURNING WHAT HAS BEEN ON THE INSIDE TO THE OUTSIDE. WHEN YOU HAVE RECEIVED ALL OF THE FULLNESS OF ME, WHEN FAITH AND LOVE HAVE COME TOGETHER, THIS IS THE NEW CREATION - THE NEW CREATURE WHO WALKS. THE PERFECT FORM IS IN THE MANIFESTATION OF FAITH AND LOVE COMING TOGETHER IN THE MANY MEMBERED BODY OF CHRIST. THIS IS THE NEW MAN I WANT ON THE OUTSIDE. THIS TURNING IS REVERSING THE CURSE.

Christ is our hope of glory. When He has been formed in us and self is dead, we will see Him as He is. Then it will no longer be we who live but Christ, for HE IS LIFE. Christ will appear in glory with those who long for His appearing because He has become their LIFE.

Before, when people looked at Jesus they saw a man - the Body of the LIVING WORD. When Christ again appears people will look at a man and see Jesus - THE LIVING WORD in His body.

"Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other. Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven. The LORD will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest. Righteousness goes before him and prepares the way for his steps" (Psalms 85:10-13. See Romans 13:14; Galatians 2:20 and Colossians 3:3, 4)

~*~

THE TRIBULATION IS FOR THE SAINTS. AS THE RAPTURE OCCURS, SO DOES THE TRIBULATION. THE RAPTURE IS THE RAISING UP OF THE SAINTS AS CHRIST RISES IN THEM. THE TRIBULATION FREES THE WORLD OF SIN. BOTH ARE INTEGRAL PARTS OF THE SALVATION OF THE WORLD.

"Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day" (John 6:54)"

"And the lawless one will be revealed, who the Lord Jesus Christ will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming". (2 Thessalonians 2:8)

~*~

At this point the Lord began to show me Matthew, chapter 24. Always His directions have been:

SEEK TO KNOW, ENDEAVOR TO FIND OUT. THE BENEFITS OF THE MIND OF CHRIST ARE TRUTH WITHOUT COMPROMISE, STRENGTH WITHOUT FEAR. I WILL GUIDE YOU INTO ALL WISDOM.

~*~

THE MOVEMENT AT HAND IS ONE OF GREAT MAGNITUDE. IT SWEEPS OVER THE LAND AS A CLOUD ENVELOPING IT. THE THUNDER OF MY POWER WILL BE KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE. DO NOT LOOK AROUND TO SEE FROM WHENCE IT COMES - IT COMES FROM WITHIN YOU. MY VESSELS ARE POURING IT OUT.

~*~

THE CONTINUANCE AND FORM OF THE WORLD IS IN JEOPARDY. THE OCCLUSION OF THE SUBTERRANEAN FORMATIONS MOVES AS THE MOLTEN GRANITE FLOWS, FILLING GAPS, CLOSING HOLES. SLIDING BOULDERS COLLIDE.

This word of the Spirit of the Lord left me mystified. I did, however, "seek to know, endeavor to find out." In my spirit I knew that it had to do with the Church of the Firstborn as spoken of in Hebrews 12:22-24. Even though I did a word study, it was several years before I had a clear understanding.

Continuance: A remaining in place, position or state.

Form: Intrinsic character, established way of behavior.

Jeopardy: Risk, danger, peril

Occlusion: Closing, obstruction; shut out.

Subterranean Formations: Structure or groups close enough together to be considered a unit; hidden under the surface of the earth, secret undercover arrangement of parts that join.

Molten Granite: Lava-like. [Granite is the strongest of stone and may be polished to a high sheen.]

Sliding Boulders: Detached, worn rock slipping and gradually passing out of power.

Collide: Come into violent contact; conflict; clash.

~*~

The Church of the Firstborn is coming together as the living stones rise up. One by one they are joined. This is Jerusalem, the New Jerusalem that has not yet been seen. Spiritual Jerusalem has been hidden from the natural eye for only the spiritual eye can discern it. But as all of the godliness that is in mankind is turned over to His righteousness, the eruption of the Kingdom of God shall take place, and the abomination that makes the world desolate shall be removed when it is revealed. As this body of people advances upon the world they are like molten granite, covering all that is in their path. All that is of the world system will be struck on its foundation, tumble and slide away as if it had never been.

Nothing within the system of the world can survive this move. But the Kingdom of God will solidify and become strong and solid. It will stand as a rock filling the whole earth gleaming like polished stone. (See Daniel 2:31-35)

~*~

I AM THE LORD, YOUR GOD. I CHANGE NOT. MY WORDS GO FORTH TO INSTRUCT MY OWN. AS I FILL YOU WITH THE WORD, YOU ARE THE WORD IN THIS DAY. MY WAY OF DOING THINGS IS COMING INTO THE WORLD NOW. NEVERMORE WILL POVERTY IN THE HEART OF MAN STEAL AWAY THE BLESSINGS OF HIS ETERNAL SOUL. MISTAKES OF THE PAST WILL NOT BE CARRIED OVER INTO THE FUTURE.

LET THE WORDS THAT POUR FROM YOUR LIPS BE MY WORDS. AS THEY COME FORTH THEY SHALL TAKE FORM AND PRODUCE THE BODY. THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD WILL BE WON FOR ME.

"Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death. Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short." (Revelation 12:10-12)

As you continue to read this book and seek the Face of God, you will find more understanding concerning this passage of Scripture.

BEHOLD, I DO A NEW THING.

1984 - THE OPEN DOOR

"What if God, choosing to show his wrath and make his power known, bore with great patience the objects of his wrath - prepared in advance for glory - even us, whom he also called, not only from the Jews but also from the Gentiles? As he says in Hosea: "'Those who were not my people I will call my people, and her who was not my beloved I will call my beloved.'" (Romans 9:22-27)

From the beginning of time the Lord has prepared as the inheritance of His Son those who will gloriously walk in the array of His righteousness. We cannot know that we are one of these until we begin to listen as He speaks. He will go to great lengths to get the attention of one so chosen.

READ PAGE 293: READ AND UNDERSTAND. (Command as I prayed.)

I held on my lap a particular Bible in which on page 293 was 1 Peter 1:22-2:17. I inscribe those words here for they are for His servants in this Day:

"Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, form the heart. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God. For all men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever. And this is the word that was preached to you.

"Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy and slander of every kind. Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good.

"As you come to Him, the living Stone - rejected by men but chosen by God and precious to him - you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For in Scripture it says: "See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame."

"Now to you who believe, this stone is precious. But to those who do not believe, 'The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone," and, "A stone that causes men to stumble and a rock that makes them fall.' They stumble because they disobey the message - which is also what they were destined for.

"But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may declare the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light. "

"Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

"Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul. Live such good lives among the pagans that, though they accuse you of doing wrong, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day he visits us.

"Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every authority instituted among men: whether to the king, as the supreme authority, or to governors, who are sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to commend those who do right. For it is God’s will that by doing good you should silence the ignorant talk of foolish men. Live as free men, but do not use your freedom as a cover-up for evil; live as servants of God. Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the king".

The above passage of Scripture was the basis for teaching in 1984.

~*~

THIS LAND IS MY LAND. THE COMING CHANGES ARE FOR THE BENEFIT OF MY CHOSEN. THE RIGHTEOUS SHALL NOT PERISH. THE LIVING WORD WILL ACCOMPLISH THE FINAL WORK IN THE WORLD - THE DOMAIN OF MANKIND. HE WILL BE RETURNED TO MY DESIGN - THE FULLNESS OF THE POWER AND GLORY OF GOD. HE WILL SHINE WITH THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF HIS HEART AND THE PURITY OF HIS MOTIVATION. YES, THIS CREATED SON OF MINE IS AT LONG LAST RETURNING TO THE FULLNESS OF FELLOWSHIP WITH HIS FATHER.

The land is the land of individual lives. He is, after all, Creator and Owner of he land. We are but the husbandmen of the earth of our lives.

WHERE THE WHEAT AND THE TARES GROW TOGETHER, THE WORD WILL DIVIDE THEM. THIS WILL JUST OCCUR. THE WORD MUST BE SPOKEN. THE WHEAT RECEIVES, THE TARES REJECT. DO NOT TRY TO CUT AWAY THE TARES - JUST MOVE AMONG THEM. THE WORD WILL DO THE WORK.

"For the word of God is a living thing, active and more cutting than any sword with a double edge, penetrating to the very division of soul and spirit, joints and marrow - scrutinizing to the very thoughts and conceptions of the heart." (Hebrews 4:12, Moffatt Bible.)

As the word cuts through the flesh to the place where the soul came away from the spirit, one’s heart is circumcised. This penetration by the word allows entrance of the Spirit who brings life to our eternal souls. Upon the heart of flesh is then written God’s message of love bringing unity once more for the spirit and soul. Land is thus won for the Lord.

RISE UP AND TAKE POSSESSION OF THE LAND! NOW IS THE TIME TO LET THE SPIRIT TAKE CONTROL OF ALL THINGS. DO NOT HINDER THIS WITH THE FLESH. FALLING AWAY NOW ARE THE CARES OF THE WORLD. THE CARES BECOME AS NOTHING. AS YOU GO ABOUT IN THE NATURAL REALM PERCEIVE THAT IT HAS MERGED WITH THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT. SEE AND UNDERSTAND THAT THE SPIRIT BRINGS UNITY.

~*~

Salvation unto Glory:

FIRST THERE IS A TEARING AWAY OF THE FAT. THIS IS THE PART THAT NO ONE WANTS IN HIS LIFE. THEN COMES THE SCRATCHING AWAY AT THE SURFACE - THE THINGS THAT ARE LYING ON THE TOP OR ONLY LIGHTLY EMBEDDED. NEXT COMES THE TIME WHEN THE HAMMER AND CHISEL ARE APPLIED. THIS ACTION REMOVES THE THINGS THAT HAVE BECOME PART OF YOUR LIFESTYLE OVER THE YEARS. SOMETIMES THE WOUND MAY BLEED AND WILL HAVE TO HEAL. IT IS SOON COVERED OVER WITH NEW TISSUE - LOVELY AND PURE.

WHILE ALL OF THIS WORK IS GOING ON THE POLISHING HAS BEGUN. STILL, THERE IS A DEEPER WORK TO BE ACCOMPLISHED - THE PURGING OF THE SOUL. NOW THIS IS THE WORK THAT LEADS TO THE NARROW PATH - THE WAY IN WHICH YOU CANNOT MOVE FROM SIDE TO SIDE OR LOOK BACK. THE WORK AT THIS TIME IS DONE COMPLETELY FROM WITHIN. YIELDING TO THIS SINGLE PURPOSE IS REQUIRED. THIS IS THE TIME WHEN MY CHILDREN MUST WALK IN PERFECT OBEDIENCE, NOT RETURNING TO THE PAST BUT MOVING EVER FORWARD, EYES ALWAYS UPON ME. AS THE REFINING FIRE BURNS WITHIN, THIS IS THE COMPLETE AND FINAL CLEANSING APPLIED AND WORKED OUT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT OF ALMIGHTY GOD. WHEN THE WORK IS FINISHED THE CLAY POTS WILL SHINE LIKE THE SUN - THE SON!

~*~

The priesthood of a believer is the birthright of one who is born again by the Spirit. However, this birthright must be claimed by one’s soul coming into agreement with his recreated spirit. This then is the spirit taking possession of the land. Before the body of Christ assumes its position as a kingdom of priests all dominion, authority and power in the world must become a footstool for Christ. Those who revere the name of the Lord will trample under every wicked thing in their individual lives as they claim the land of the soul into the domain of the recreated spirit.

THE REFINING FIRE IS EMPLOYED IN THE FINISHING OF ALL CLAY VESSELS THAT POUR OUT THE WATER FOR DRINKING. THIS IS NOT PUNISHMENT BUT PERFECTING.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the likeness of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And those he predestined, he also called; those he called he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified" (Romans 8:28)

~*~

MY DEAR ONES, YOU ARE CONFINED IN THE BODIES THAT YOU MUST HAVE TO MOVE UPON THE EARTH. BUT THIS HINDRANCE NEED NOT STOP YOU. JUST BE HIDDEN IN ME AND WE SHALL MOVE AS ONE. THERE IS NO BARRIER THAT CANNOT BE CROSSED, NO OBSTACLE THAT CANNOT BE MOVED. I AM THE POWER THAT PLACED ALL THINGS IN PROPER ORDER - ALL TURNINGS AND EVENTS IN THEIR PLACE; STAY WITH ME. MOVE IN OBEDIENCE, ALWAYS IN TIME. DO NOT TARRY.

THE BLESSINGS THAT I AM IMPARTING ARE BEYOND COMPARE. YOU HAVE WEALTH UNTOLD. MY GOLD AND SILVER CANNOT BE MELTED DOWN BUT STAND FOR THEIR INTENDED USE.

~*~

TROUBLED WATERS RUSH ABOUT THE ROCKS, SMOOTHING THE EDGES UNTIL ALL ARE REFINED AND READY TO BE USED.

AS YOU STAY IN THE WORD YOUR SPIRIT IS GROWING TO FILL ALL OF THE SPACE AVAILABLE. SOON THE SHELL YOU OCCUPY WILL JUST FALL AWAY AND FREE THE PART OF YOU THAT LONGS FOR THE FULLNESS AND THE GOODNESS OF ME. THE FLESH CANNOT BIND THE SPIRIT WHO HAS BEEN FREED. AS YOU MOVE INTO THIS AREA THE INSURMOUNTABLE WILL YIELD TO JOY. THE DAY HAS BEGUN. THE TIME IS NOW TO LET ALL THINGS OF THE PAST BE COMPLETELY SWALLOWED UP IN THE GREATNESS OF THIS AGE.

AS YOU DELVE EVER DEEPER INTO THE TRUTH I WILL REVEAL MORE AND MORE TO YOU. IT WILL BECOME PART OF YOU - YOUR LIFE’S BLOOD. YOU WILL TRANSFUSE THIS MAGNIFICENT TRUTH TO THE HEARTS OF OTHERS.

THE JOY IS HERE -- THE WANDERING CAN CEASE. THE TIME OF SEARCHING IS THROUGH. ALL IS LAID OUT AS AN OPEN BOOK. IT IS WRITTEN -- NOW THE FULFILLING.

~*~

THIS IS A PROFOUND REVELATION:

NEW BIRTH: THE REENTRANCE OF THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST INTO THE SPIRIT OF MAN.

RESURRECTION: THE SPLENDID ARRIVAL OF THE VESSELS INTO THE HOLY OF HOLIES.

HOLY CITY: THE EXEMPLARY FACT OF THE CHILDREN BECOMING ONE IN CHRIST AS THEY ARE BUILT UP IN THE SPIRIT OF THE MOST HIGH GOD.

RUDIMENTARY THOUGHTS OF THE DIVINE MAJESTY OF ALMIGHTY GOD RACE THROUGH YOUR MIND. I WILL GIVE YOU A CLEARER PICTURE OF MY LIKENESS. YOUR SOUL TREMBLES AT THIS BUT YOUR SPIRIT IS DELIGHTED.

We stand before the Lord as a mirror, a reflection of what we believe Him to be. But until we see Him as He really is we cannot be like Him. A reflected image is a reversed likeness of the original. When we merely reflect Christ a distorted image is shown to the world. We must behold Him face to Face to know Him as He truly is. Then, with unveiled faces we will bear His likeness and our service will be changed to obedience to revealed TRUTH. In the world we shall become as He is as we move from glory to glory.

I WANT ALL OF MY CHILDREN TO REACH FOR HEIGHTS JUST BEYOND THEM. TO REMAIN IN ANY LEVEL IS TO WITHER. TO PRODUCE THE FRUIT ONE MUST CONTINUE TO FEED ON THE WORD AND BE NOURISHED BY MY SPIRIT.

THE STUMBLING BLOCK OF TRADITION MUST BE REMOVED. THE HINDRANCE OF DENOMINATIONS MUST GO. UNITY IN ME WILL BRING THE STRENGTH NEEDED FOR THIS TIME.

CALCULATE THE DAYS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST AS THE WINNING ADVANTAGE THAT TAKES YOU FROM GLORY TO GLORY.

I AM THE BEGINNING AND THE END. I DO NOT HESITATE TO FULFILL WHAT I HAVE DESIGNED. MY LEADING WILL BRING ABOUT ALL THAT IS OF ME. WHEN MY CHILDREN COOPERATE THE MOVE WILL BE SWIFT. WHEN THEY LINGER AND FALL BACK THE FULFILLMENT IS STYMIED BUT NOT STOPPED.

MY CHILDREN, MY OWN CHILDREN HAVE SO MISCONSTRUED THE WRITTEN WORD THAT THEIR UNDERSTANDING IS IN TURMOIL. THE FULFILLMENT OF THESE THINGS SHOULD NOT BE LOOKED AT IN THE NATURAL REALM BUT IN THE REALM OF THE SPIRIT. I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND KNOW WHAT HAS BEEN WRITTEN BEFORE BUT HAS REMAINED A MYSTERY.

"We do, however, speak a message of wisdom among the mature, but not the wisdom of this age or of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. No, we speak of God’s secret wisdom, a wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory before time began. None of the rulers of this age understood it, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. However, as it is written: "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" - but God has revealed it to us by his Spirit" (1 Corinthians 2:6-9)

THESE DAYS ARE AS BITTER WINE IN THE MOUTHS OF THOSE WHO DWELL IN THE FOREST, BUT THEY ARE AS HONEY TO THOSE WHO ARE BEARING THE FRUIT OF THE VINE.

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." (John 15:5)

THE ROAD THAT YOU ARE SET UPON IS SO NARROW THAT BY YOUR OWN EFFORT OR DETERMINATION YOU COULD NOT STAY WITHIN ITS LINES. BUT AS YOU ARE CAPTURED IN ME I WILL CAUSE YOU TO WALK WITH EASE - NEVER WAVERING, NOT FAILING.

THE DAWN OF THIS DAY IS THE MIGHTY OCCURRENCE THAT HAS BEEN NEEDED IN THE AGES PAST BUT HAS NOT BEEN ALLOWED BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF UNDERSTANDING WITHIN MY CHILDREN OF THE EARTH.

~*~

TEARS ARE SHED AND BODIES ARE SACRIFICED IN THE YIELDING TO THIS DAY. THE WAY IS NOT EASY BUT VICTORY IS SECURE IN ME. DO NOT HATE THE PATH UPON WHICH YOU WALK FOR IT OPENS TO ENTRANCE INTO THE NEW JERUSALEM. AS YOU CONTINUE TO WALK IN OBEDIENCE YOU WILL SEE THE CHANGES TAKE PLACE.

THE KING OF GLORY REIGNS SUPREME IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE SELECTED VESSELS WHO ARE UNDER THE FIRE OF PERFECTION BROUGHT ABOUT IN THE PROCESS OF SANCTIFICATION. THE GOODNESS OF THE FATHER WILL BE THE DOMINATING FORCE IN THE SURRENDERED CLAY POTS. THE SPIRIT WITHIN THEM SHALL POSSESS THE LAND THAT WAS PROMISED SO LONG AGO. THE CANAAN OF THIS DAY FAR SURPASSES THAT OF THE ANCIENT PAST. THE SPIRIT SHALL DO POSSESSION OF THIS LAND. YOU CANNOT FAIL. THE VICTORY IS SEALED.

THE EARTH, THE EARTH IS IN THE VALLEY OF DECISION.

AS THE RECREATED SPRIT WITHIN YOU MATURES, THE CLAY POT, WHICH IS THE RECEPTACLE FALLS AWAY AND THE SPIRIT SOARS. IT IS TIME FOR THIS OCCURRENCE. LET THE RECREATED SPIRIT HAVE THE LEAD IN ALL THINGS. LOVE MUST HAVE HER PERFECT WAY. MANY POTSHERDS WILL BE LEFT IN THE VALLEY OF DECISION.

The Valley of Decision is called Jehoshaphat.

The Father has a perfect plan to develop and it is fast coming into focus. In this Day we must be attentive to every motion being put forward from the realm of heaven. When we hesitate to submit to the movement of the recreated spirit we throw a stumbling stone in our own pathway.

Today, if you hear His voice, fall back into Christ and enter the Sabbath rest remaining. The call in this Day, which is called TODAY, is to step where the Father steps, speak as He speaks and do what we see the Father doing. It is the only way that Canaan will be gained. What the Hebrew nation did only in part must fully be accomplished through the soul’s acquiescence to the recreated spirit - becoming one again in Christ.

Remember that we were separated from God in our lost and undone condition; excluded from the Kingdom of God - without hope in the world. But we have been included through the poured out blood of Jesus and the continuing presence of the Holy Spirit. What God ordered, Jesus Christ has ordained. What He has ordained, He will establish. The Kingdom of God shall become in earth as it is in heaven. This is the Canaan that must be entered while we abide in the bosom of the Father. The over-spreading of righteousness will increase until all are enveloped and heaven and earth have become one.

"In keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness" (1 Peter 3:13).

BEFORE YOU IS A LESSON IN FAITH. THIS PATH IS VERY NARROW. IT IS LIKE A ROPE STRETCHED OVER AN ABYSS. THE SAFETY IS IN ME. DO NOT FEAR; ALL IS WELL. YOU SHALL SUCCEED. I DO NOT PUT MY OWN FORWARD WITHOUT PROVIDING. MY ARMS ARE HOLDING YOU UP. FROM THIS TIME YOU WILL EMERGE STRONG AND COMPLETE IN ME.

THE LESSON OF FAITH IS TO WALK IN LOVE.

IN EXISTENCE NOW IS THE FORCE THAT DRIVES FAITH THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE. THE TRAVELING OF THIS FORCE IS NOT ERRATIC BUT RIGHT ON TARGET. THE TRACK IT WILL TAKE IS LAID OUT AND FIRMLY FIXED. THIS NETWORK OF FAITH WILL DRAW WITHIN ITS AREA, THUS REACHING ALL. THE DRIVING, MOVING, POWERFUL FORCE IS LOVE. YES, FAITH IS MOVED BY LOVE. THIS WAS NOT MEANT TO BE A SECRET, ALTHOUGH THE LACK OF ITS OPERATION IN THE WORLD HAS MADE IT SEEM SO.

A YIELDED VESSEL IS MY POT OF GOLD. WITHOUT SUCH AS THESE MY WORK ON EARTH COULD NOT BE ACCOMPLISHED. WHEN LOVE POURS FROM THESE VESSELS THE MAGNIFICENT WORK COMES FORTH - LOVE AND THE WORD, LOVE AND HEALING. ONLY THROUGH THE MANIFESTATION OF LOVE WILL THE CHANGES BE SEEN.

WHAT I HAVE FOR YOU TO DO HAS NOT BEEN DONE BEFORE EXCEPT WHEN JESUS WALKED AMONG MEN. IT WILL BE LOVE IN OPERATION; LOVE RADIATING OUT. THIS IS HOW I AM MOVING IN THESE DAYS - BY THE FORCE OF LOVE. LOVE MAKES FAITH OPERATE WITHOUT ANY CONSCIOUS EFFORT. WHEN PURE LOVE CONTROLS THE WONDERS DO NOT CEASE.

BEFORE WHEN MANY MIGHTY MIRACLES TOOK PLACE IT WAS BECAUSE OF SPECIAL ANOINTING. I AM DOING THIS BY MY MIGHTY POWER. THE POWER OF LOVE WILL DO THE WORK. BECAUSE OF THE LOVE, NOT THE MIRACLES, BECAUSE OF LOVE PEOPLE WILL BE DRAWN TO THE LORD.

POWER

GOD’S POWER IS LOVE.

GOD’S LOVE IS POWER.

GOD IS LOVE.

Yielding completely to God in all things will bring forth His love in our lives. As we walk in this perfect love united in the body of Christ all love is available to us. The power of love working through this body brings about the turning so desired.

THE MYSTERY OF GOD IS LOVE!

Only by God’s love can the body of Christ be made manifest together in the world. Only through this body can God’s love operate in the fullness of power in the world.

Love is not merely being polite or in control. It is letting the full thrust of the nature of God come forth in power from each individual of the corporate body of Christ. God has spread His love abroad in our hearts to be given away. It is in the giving that the power is known.

THE RESURRECTION POWER IS LOVE!

AS YOU WALK IN THE LOVE LIFE YOU WILL BE BLESSED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT OF MY PLEASURE. YIELDING TO WALK IN LOVE WITH YOUR FELLOWMAN IS WHAT IS NEEDED. IT WILL UNLOCK THE FAITH THAT IS BUILT UP WITHIN YOU. MOVING BY LOVE IS OBEDIENCE TO YOUR FATHER.

"Let no debt remain outstanding, except the debt to love one another, for he who loves his fellow man has fulfilled the law. The commandments, "Do not commit adultery", 'Do not murder', 'Do not steal', ' do not covet', and whatever commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: 'Love your neighbor as yourself'. Love does no harm to its neighbor. Therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." (Romans 13:8-10)

"You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace. But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love". (Galatians 5:4-6)

THE TURNING OF THE WAY BACK TO THE FATHER IS COMPLETE IN THE SPIRIT. THE CHILDREN NEED NOT WANDER SEARCHING FOR TRUTH, FOR IT IS RIGHT AT THEIR DOOR. NOW IS THE TIME FOR OBEDIENCE TO THE FULLEST EXTENT. THE REMNANT OF THE ELECT MUST BE READY TO RESPOND TO MY MOVE WITHOUT QUESTION.

THERE IS AN OPENING FROM THE DARKNESS INTO THE LIGHT, AND THE CALLED-OUT ONES WILL SEE IT. THEY WILL COME THROUGH. THE WEAVING OF THE FABRIC OF OBEDIENCE TAKES COOPERATION OF THE INDIVIDUALS COMING TOGETHER AS ONE. WHEN THIS IS ESTABLISHED THE CLOTH OF GOLD WILL BE SPREAD OVER ALL, AND THE BLESSINGS WILL BE REALIZED.

ALL WHO HAVE HAD A GLIMPSE OF THIS PERFECTION DESIRE THE PEACEFUL WAY OF MY KINGDOM. THE CURTAIN IS BEING DRAWN ASIDE FOR YOU TO BEHOLD THE SPIRITUAL REALM. NOW MORE MAY SEE AND RECEIVE UNDERSTANDING AND INSTRUCTION FOR THESE DAYS. I WANT NONE TO SUFFER FOR LACK OF OPPORTUNITY TO ENTER INTO FELLOWSHIP WITH ME. I DO NOT WITHHOLD THE TRUTH. MY CHILDREN ONLY FAIL TO AVAIL THEMSELVES OF THE OPPORTUNITY TO KNOW.

IT IS MY DESIRE, MY STRONG DESIRE FOR ALL OF MY CHILDREN TO BE ONE WITH ME

(See John 17:21-24)

Many places in Scripture we find the Lord’s promise to reveal the secret treasures of the Kingdom of God to a particular people at a particular time. Scholars have gone "to and fro" searching for truth, and all the while it has been available within all who walk by the recreated spirit. When this revelation is known by all of the elect the elemental principles of the world will be overthrown in favor of holy righteousness in Godly men made perfect.

As we wait for this appearing of Christ in His flesh should we not be faithful to our hope that Christ in us is preparing us for glory?

THE COVENANT SHALL NOT BE BROKEN THAT IS SET BETWEEN ALMIGHTY GOD AND HIS CHILDREN. THE REIGN OF CHRIST IN MANKIND WILL BRING ABOUT THE GLORIOUS CULMINATION OF THIS PROMISE.

THE LAND THAT FLOWS WITH MILK AND HONEY HAS BEEN REACHED ONLY IN PART IN THE NATURAL REALM. TO POSSESS THIS LAND REQUIRES PERFECT OBEDIENCE ON THE PART OF THE ELECT. HALFHEARTED EFFORTS WILL NOT SUFFICE. ONLY THE TRUE AND HARDY OF SPIRIT SHALL TRIUMPH. THE TURNING OF THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS LEADING TO THIS VICTORY HAS BEEN SET. YES, IT HAS EVEN OCCURRED. THOSE WHO HAVE DROPPED THE TEMPTATIONS AND CARES OF THE WORLD TO FIND THE NARROW WAY HAVE MADE THE CHOICE OF QUALITY.

BECAUSE OF THE ADVENT OF THE SPIRITUAL AND NATURAL REALMS MERGING, MANY GREAT AND WONDROUS THINGS SHALL TAKE PLACE. THE SPIRIT WILL QUICKEN THE MINDS OF MY CHILDREN. YOU WILL HAVE UNDERSTANDING IN AREAS THAT BEFORE WERE A COMPLETE MYSTERY TO YOU. THE ONES WHO BRING THE DESIGN FOR THE MACHINERY AND TOOLS OF THE WORLD ARE GOING TO HAVE BREAKTHROUGHS IN AREAS THAT HAVE ELUDED MEN FOR YEARS. THE QUALITY OF THE PRODUCTIONS OF HUMANKIND WILL RISE. WATCH! YOU WILL SAY, "THE LORD HAS TOLD ME THIS!"

THOSE OF THE LOWLIEST ESTATE TO THE HIGHEST WILL SEE THE GLORY OF THE FATHER. I HAVE NO FAVORITES. SOME OBEY ME MORE READILY THAN OTHERS, BUT MY LOVE AND CARE IS FOR ALL.

I WANT MY CHILDREN TO PROSPER IN THE EARTH IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. I INTEND TO HAVE THE DOMAIN OF MAN RETURNED TO ITS ORIGINAL DESIGN. THE TECHNOLOGY FOR CHANGE IS IN ME. IT IS AT HAND. YOU WILL SEE A GREAT TURNING OF EVENTS IN THE NATURAL AS WELL AS IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM. DON’T YOU KNOW THAT THE ROOT, THE INTELLIGENCE FOR ALL ADVANCES IN THE WORLD HAS ALWAYS COME FROM ME? MANY TIMES WHAT I HAVE GIVEN HAS BEEN MISUSED - PUT TO THE WRONG PURPOSE. BUT THE INCREASE OF UNDERSTANDING IN ANY AREA WOULD NOT HAVE COME IF I HAD NOT BEEN THE SUPPLIER.

THIS IS THE MOVE OF THE SPIRITUAL INTO THE WORLD - INTO THE PLACE WHERE MY CHILDREN DWELL. BEFORE, I HAD TO MOVE ABOVE THEM BUT NOW WE ARE ONE. MAN IS GOING TO REALIZE WHERE HIS KNOWLEDGE IS COMING FROM. HE WILL SEE THINGS HAPPEN IN SUCH A GLORIOUS WAY THAT HE WILL KNOW THE SUPERNATURAL IS IN THE NATURAL. HE WILL RETURN TO HIS FATHER, BOWING BEFORE THE THRONE WITH LOVE.

NOW WALK IN THE HIGHEST REALM AND LOOK ABOUT YOU. YOU WILL SEE THE THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING WITH YOUR SPIRITUAL EYES. THE PROPHECY OF OLD IS TURNING TO THE FULFILLMENT OF THE NEW.

THE WAYS OF THE WORLD ARE CHANGING FAST, LIKE A WHIRLWIND. THE RUSH OF THE SEASON APPROACHES. THIS WHIRLWIND IS SWEEPING AWAY ALL THAT IS CROSSWISE TO THE WORK OF THE LORD, LEAVING BEHIND THE PERFECTION OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IN ITS PLACE. SEE THE WORKING OF THIS MIGHTY MIRACLE. THE SANDS OF TIME TELL THE STORY. ALL HAS BEEN WRITTEN IN REFERENCE TO TODAY.

"Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded? He brings princes to naught and reduces rulers of this world to nothing. No sooner are they sown, no sooner do they take root in the ground, than he blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff." (Isaiah 40:21, 23, 24)

STARS ARE RISING TO THEIR ASSIGNED PLACES. THEIR BRIGHTNESS SHALL SHINE AND LIGHT THIS WORLD WITH MY GLORY! THE PEACE THAT PASSES THE UNDERSTANDING OF MANKIND WILL BE THE DOMINANT FORCE FOR THESE DAYS. LET THE SHOUTS OF JOY AND LAUGHTER RING OUT! GATHER ALL WHO WILL COME INTO THE SAFETY OF MY SHELTER. I AM STRETCHING OUT THE STAKES OF MY TENT. THERE IS ROOM FOR ALL.

THE OIL OF BLESSING IS POURED UPON YOUR HEAD. YOU WILL BE STEADFAST AND FIRM IN THE LORD YOUR GOD. YOU WILL NOT FAIL. YOU WILL NOT WAVER. THE FIRM FOUNDATION IS FIXED FOR YOUR STANDING.

THE SPICES AND RARE PERFUMES ARE BROUGHT BEFORE YOU. THEY ARE PRESENTED FOR THEIR INTENDED USE. THE TIME FOR BURIAL IS AT HAND. REJOICE! YOU ARE THE OVERCOMER! YOU HAVE THE VICTORY.

The spices and rare perfumes which the Lord gives may be compared to those used in ancient times for the preparation of a body for burial. In the spiritual, as well as in the natural realm, they have properties to exact cleansing, purging and purifying work to prepare human flesh for burial. The flesh must be dead to all who are anointed as a living sacrifice to the Lord. The presentation of these substances alludes to the spikenard used by Mary of Bethany to anoint the head and feet of Jesus. When his feet were anointed the aroma spread throughout the whole house. The feet of the body of Christ must be so anointed in this DAY, and the whole house of God will be blessed!

RISING UP AT THIS TIME IS A STRUCTURE THAT WILL SHOW FORTH MY GLORY. THIS IS NOT A STRUCTURE MADE BY HUMAN HANDS, NOR DESIGNED BY MAN. THIS EDIFICE IS WHOLLY OF MY POWER, STRENGTH, DESIGN AND PURPOSE. COUNT THE POLES AS THEY RISE. YOU WILL SEE QUALITY UNKNOWN UNTIL THIS GENERATION.

structure: Arrangement of parts or constituent tissues or particles in a substance or body.

edifice: A structure, especially a large massive building such as a palace or a church.

poles: Staffs or rods held as symbols of authority, such as the scepters of kings. Poles also describe the framework of a portable canvas structure. The Lord is stretching out His tent.

The structure being erected is the body of Christ, who is the Church of the First-born. The poles rising are representative of the triumph of the elect ruling as kings and lords over their land. When Christ reigns as King of kings and Lord of lords, these poles will be erect, the structure of the church will be complete and the final celebration of Tabernacles will occur.

"Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God." (Revelation 3:12)

"They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is the Lord of lords and King of kings - and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers." (Revelations 17:14)

"Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and aliens, but fellow citizens with God’s people and members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit." (Ephesians 2:19-21)

AS WE MOVE TOGETHER, YOU ARE ALWAYS PREPARED FOR WHATEVER YOUR CIRCUMSTANCES MAY PRESENT. THE SOURCE OF ALL LOVE, UNDERSTANDING, WISDOM, COMPASSION AND PERFECTION IS YOUR STRENGTH AND SUPPLIER.

THE WAY OF THE WISE IS PAVED WITH GOLD AND PRECIOUS GEMS. THE WAY OF THE DESTITUTE OF SPIRIT IS STREWN WITH TRASH AND GARBAGE. WHY DO THEY NOT OPEN THEIR EYES AND EARS AND LEARN OF ME? BECAUSE THEY HAVE BEEN SO LONG DECEIVED. THEY HAVE FEAR OF UNMERITED KINDNESS. THEIR MINDS CANNOT UNDERSTAND BECAUSE THERE IS NO LIGHT IN THEIR SPIRITS. WE MUST CAUSE THE LIGHT TO SHINE THERE.

THE SPIRIT OF GOD MOVES BY DIVINE DECREE, ENVELOPING LUST AND TURNING IT TO LOVE; GREED BECOMES POWERLESS, YIELDING ITS DOMAIN TO THE SPIRIT OF RELINQUISHMENT.

ALL I HAVE TOLD YOU SHALL COME TO PASS. THESE ARE THE DAYS OF FULFILLMENT. LET YOUR UNDERSTANDING NOW BE MY WISDOM. DO NOT TRY TO DISCERN IN YOUR MIND WHAT I AM DOING OR WHAT DIRECTION TO TAKE. THE SPIRIT SPEAKS TO SPIRIT.

THE SPILLING OF MY BLOOD IS THE REDEEMING FACTOR OF THE NEW COVENANT. THE ROBES OF THE RIGHTEOUS ARE WASHED IN THE CRIMSON LIFE-GIVING BLOOD TO MAKE THEM THE GARMENTS OF HOLINESS.

GOING THROUGH YOUR VEINS NOW IS THE SUBSTANCE THAT GIVES LIFE TO YOUR MORTAL BODY. LET ME EXCHANGE THIS LIFE FORCE FOR THE LIFE FORCE OF MY SPIRIT. AS YOU GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF PUTTING AWAY THE MORTAL FOR THE IMMORTAL YOU WILL FIND THIS SUSTAINING LIFE MOVING THROUGH YOU, QUICKENING YOUR MORTAL FORM TO THE SUBSTANCE OF IMMORTALITY.

"Then one of the elders asked me, "These in white robes - who are they, and where did they come from?" I answered, "Sir, you know." And he said, "These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore;

‘They are before the throne of God,

and serve him day and night in his temple;

and he who sits on the throne will spread his tent over them...’"(Revelation 7:14, 15)

JUST AS THE WORD BECAME FLESH AND DWELT AMONG MANKIND, SO NOW THE BODY OF CHRIST HAS BECOME THE WORD IN THIS DAY. THE WORD IN THIS BODY WILL BE THE INSTRUMENT TO BRING THE FULFILLMENT OF MY DECREE: "THE WORLD IS MINE AND I SHALL POSSESS IT". IT IS THE LIVING WORD WHO GIVES LIFE TO THE CONGRUENT BODY OF CHRIST.

The prophets of old foretold what Jesus would do and the truth He would say by use of parables. The twenty-fourth chapter of Matthew is comparing the appearance of the Son with the clouds of witnesses to the sun as it moves with the clouds from east to west. The first light of dawn is but a glow in the horizon; by noon it has reached its zenith. It continues to move across the sky reaching its highest point as the earth turns, hour-by-hour, until the whole world has had the benefit of the brightest shining of the sun at noonday. God has given the Spirit of Christ to bring the Light of the Son to the world, and the way we experience Him determines the quality/quantity of our light.

I am endeavoring to speak plainly to you of what has been shown to me concerning the second advent of Christ’s appearing in the body prepared for Him. Spirit speaks to spirit. Therefore, much has been perverted and taught without truth-revealing Light. We have been trying to understand in our finite minds things that the Spirit of God speaks only to the recreated spirit. Because the Spirit has been given, those who have the Mind of Christ will allow the recreated spirit within to teach.

Everything has its season, even the things built by God. When the time is ripe for Christ’s appearing all that has been built will be brought down in favor of the higher order. The walk by the spirit will be finished. In his dissertation on LOVE, Paul clearly refers to the passing away of incomplete things in preference for the perfect. (See 1 Corinthians 13)

The return of Christ is not the same thing as His appearing. Christ Jesus comes to us like a thief in the night to raise us up by way of His Spirit. His appearing will be in His reformed body when Christ has become the life of our soul, just as He has said. The body-of-many-members will show forth His glory, and He will be seen. Not as one man in one place, but by the many who are in one accord shall the One Man be seen. This is what the spirit bears witness to. This is the purpose for which the seal of ownership keeps us. The Spirit recreated within is the deposit guaranteeing the better thing that is to come.

TAKE THE THINGS YOU ARE LEARNING AND APPLY THEM INTO YOUR LIFE. TO TEACH THIS TRUTH IS THE GOOD NEWS. TO BENEFIT FROM IT IS THE BLESSING

THE ONES SELECTED TO CARRY TRUTH TO THE WORLD ARE COMING TOGETHER IN THEIR UNDERSTANDING. AS I TEACH, THEIR SPIRITS RISE TO GREATER HEIGHTS TO BE USED BY ME.

The recreated spirit must train the mind, will and emotions - the realm of the soul. Until the soul is trained and captured into the recreated spirit, the image of carnality works in and through the personality, which is seated in the soulish realm. This is why we hear the term, "carnal christian". For this reason it is most important to allow the word to work within to prepare each one for greater use.

Paul wrote: "Be made new in the attitude of your minds; and put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness."

James scribed: "A double-minded man is unstable in all he does...."

We must heed the wisdom of these men for they were servants of the Lord.

Late in 1984, the Spirit of the Lord began to identify the Festival of Lights, speaking these words: ...THE OUTSHINING OF THE CHILDREN WHO COME THROUGH THE WAY OF THE PATH IN VICTORY - VICTORY IS IN THE RISING UP. JOSHUA FORESHADOWED THIS.

The Festival of Lights is Hanukkah, the Feast of Dedication. This celebration commemorates the purification, renewal and re-dedication of the temple to the worship of Almighty God.

We are called to the observance of this feast as we submit to the preparation necessary to yield our lives to the perfect will and purpose of God. As we learn obedience to the TRUTH that has come to us we are purified and raised up to walk in love - the outshining of His glory, priests in the order of Melchizedek.

1985 - COME ALIVE!

During a time of intense prayer on the first day of the New Year, in my spirit I was aware of a high trumpet sound that seemed to reverberate throughout the universe. The words "ROSH HASHANA" were spoken into my understanding.

Rosh Hashana is called "A Day When the Horn Sounded", and the sounding of the ram’s horn is to acclaim God as Ruler of the Universe. This is the festival that ushers in the New Year and is a time of penitence. [The Jewish Community celebrates this Sabbath festival in September or October]. Rosh Hashana is preparation for the solemnity of the Days of Judgment - a time for spiritual re-awakening and repentance. The liturgy of this occasion stresses God’s sovereignty and His willingness to forgive those who repent.

The Lord is calling us to a personal observance of this rite so that we will be prepared for the time just ahead. Although we are judged as righteous by God because of the recreated spirit, Scripture tells us to judge ourselves so that we may learn righteousness before judgment is in all the earth. An introspective view of our lives is needed as we examine our souls in the Light of the Standard of Christ Jesus. The fitted garments of righteousness are prepared as we meet the measure of that Standard.

A PREPONDERANCE OF THE WORD OF TRUTH IS FORTHCOMING.

"Every good gift comes from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like the shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth so we might be a kind of first fruits of all he created." (JAMES 1:17, 18)

AS YOU ALLOW ME TO RISE HIGHER IN YOU AND YOU GROW UP IN ME THE TRANSFORMATION WILL JUST OCCUR. BE OBEDIENT IN ALL THINGS.

WHEN THE BITTERSWEET DAYS OF YOUTH HAVE PASSED THE TIME FOR THE SAGE OF MATURITY ARRIVES. THIS PROCESS CANNOT BE STOPPED. IT IS THE WAY OF LIFE. NOW IS THE TIME TO ALLOW THE DAYS OF MATURITY TO HAVE FULL SWAY. DO NOT LOOK BACK AT THE WAYS OF YOUTH. DO NOT REGRET WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE BUT LOOK FORWARD. MUCH IS YET TO COME.

REPOSE

"Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion."

"Since the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us be careful that none of you be found to have fallen short of it. For we have had the gospel preached to us, just as they did; but the message they heard was of no value to them, because those who heard did not combine it with faith. It still remains that some will enter that rest, and those who formerly had the gospel preached to them did not go in because of their disobedience.

"If Joshua had given them that rest, God would not have spoken later about another day. There remains, then a Sabbath rest for the people of God; for anyone who enters God’s rest also rest from his own work, just as God did from his." (Hebrews 3:6; 4:1, 2, 8-10)

The rest, into which the Father is calling us is to be, is that of falling back into Him, no longer working for the Lord but allowing Him to propel us to do His perfect will and purpose.

THE FLESH CANNOT ENTER THE HOLY OF HOLIES. NOW IS THE TIME FOR THE BREAKING AWAY.

It is not self-control that the Lord requires of us but self-dead. Self merely under the control of obedience is liable to escape. Self-rule taught by the world must die to be replaced by love for God. This will happen when we put on Christ as we move into His bosom.

"I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, nor does the perishable put on the imperishable". (1Corinthians 15:50)

BEHOLD THE LORD!

Those who love the Lord constantly seek Him, but to behold Him is to see Him as He is. We must put away all of our former impressions of God and allow Him to reveal Himself to us in all of His glory. We must go past the place of our understanding and seek Him face to Face. We need to experience the Lord so that we can magnify Him in all of His activities and ways.

Until we truly BEHOLD Him, we cannot be like Him.

KEEP YOUR EYES TO THE EAST

The east is the place of rising, and it is with the eyes of the recreated spirit that we may see this place. The appearance of Christ on the Mount of Olives is not an occurrence to be witnessed by the natural eyes. It is a phenomena seen only by the new creation. Those who are firmly rooted in Christ are his clouds of witnesses and they will know His appearing. He will appear just as He left - ascending in the clouds. (See Acts 1:9-11 and 2 Peter 1:16-21)

DO NOT PARTAKE OF THE TABLE OF THE WORLD BUT OF THE TABLE I HAVE SPREAD BEFORE YOU.

"Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by ceremonial foods, which are of no value to those who eat of them. We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle have no right to eat." (Hebrews 13:9-10)

The Lord wants His elect to dine at His table and to drink the wine provided for the celebration of the Wedding of the Lamb. To partake of the table that the Lord has laid is to partake of the Bread and Wine of His Life. He is the Host of the table and the Repast from which we feed. At His table all knowledge is opened to His own. The ecstasy of His presence is revealed, the fullness of His life given. Those who feed there shall rise in the excellence of His Power to shine as the sun [the Son]. The Word fully revealed shall be made manifest in his family. At His table, all that is the death realm will be consumed by LIFE.

"I am to be the only inheritance that priests have. You are to give them no possession in Israel; I will be their possession. They will eat the grain offerings, the sin offerings and the guilt offerings; and everything in Israel devoid to the LORD will belong to them. The best of all the first fruits and of all your special gifts will belong to the priests. You are to give them the first portion of your ground meal so that a blessing may rest on your household. The priests must not eat anything, birds or animal, found dead or torn by wild animals." (Ezekiel 44:28-31)

WHEN YOU REMOVE SOMETHING FROM THE LAND, PLANT IT BACK. THIS IS HOW YOU WILL SEE THE FRUIT OF YOUR TOIL.

TOIL: a snare that is like a network.

The word is the seed that has been planted in the land of our lives. We harvest the fruit of this implanted word continuously through faith. Each time a revelation of truth or fruit of the indwelling Spirit springs up we pluck it and enjoy the refreshing fruit. But we must know that no single benefit is the final harvest.

Out of every harvest of the word there is seed to be planted back. We must break up the soil of our lives and plant back the seed of the crop we have so enjoyed. Plant back love, the first fruit of the implanted word to be harvested, and love will bring forth all of the other Spiritual Fruits. Faith has stored the Spiritual Fruit, and faith is moved by love.

As the word is planted in each soul a network of faith is being laid throughout the universe. This network is a snare where it is laid, as love grows, faith is activated, capturing every evil thing and transforming them to the righteousness of God through Christ.

"Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." (Hebrews 11:6)

EXTRAPOLATE. BRING WHAT YOU LEARN OVER INTO THE THIRD PART - TODAY!

To extrapolate is to take the expertise or knowledge gained from an explored area, and through the understood, existing continuity use it in an unexplored field.

The shadows of old are shattered in the revelation of the Day that is TODAY. Shadows were cast by the truth that has existed since the beginning of time, but TRUTH itself was not seen because of unprepared hearts. Jesus Christ came fulfilling types and shadows in the flesh of His body and then presented His Spirit to lead us into all truth. So now when we read the Old Testament we can understand what is being spoken to us from there. This is the way the Lord is teaching now. Extrapolate! Let the Spirit lead.

"'I the Lord do not change. So you, O descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your forefathers you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,' says the LORD Almighty.

"But you ask, ‘How do we rob you?’

"’In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse - the whole nation of you - because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this,’ says the LORD Almighty, ‘and see if I will not throw open the flood gates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not cast their fruit,’ says the LORD Almighty. ‘Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,’ says the LORD Almighty." (Malachi 3:6-12)

"For the Lord’s portion are his people, Jacob his allotted inheritance." Deuteronomy 32:9)

When you give yourself to the Lord you have given your tenth; He will provide the remaining ninety percent as He brings you to perfection.

THE REDEEMED SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.

Through faith righteousness is imputed.

"Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness". (Romans 4:3)

Faith is wholehearted reliance on God’s promises and is the means of issuing in righteousness. We are justified through faith, not because of it. Imputed righteousness is God’s grace. Faith is not the grounds for justification. It is the way of it!

THIS IS THE TRANSFORMATION.

The word is sown in the man of flesh to raise up the man of the spirit. As we re-focus our vision from the things of the world to Christ we will be changed. We will be changed from the most infinitesimal part of our inner being to our outer shell.

"And we, who with unveiled faces all contemplate the Lord’s glory; we are being transformed into his likeness with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit". (2 Corinthians 3:18)

The word planted in the human spirit is Christ, the Living Word. He does not come to conform to His surroundings but to change the place of His abode to agree with His nature. He is the light of our soul, and this light reveals every area that needs to be chastised, taught and retrained. Obedience in giving over the will is vital as we focus on the Lord.

JUST AS EVE CAME OUT OF ADAM, THE SOUL WILL RETURN TO THE SPIRIT.

Adam represents the man of the SPIRIT. Eve represents the SOUL.

In the beginning Adam and Eve were one. God separated them in His first step toward freeing mankind from the carnality hidden within his soul. It has been His plan even before the heavens and earth were formed to join every individual soul to the Universal Spirit of God in holy righteousness.

It is the purpose of mankind to find his abiding place within the bosom of the Father and there learn obedience to His perfect will and purpose. The recreated spirit in every born-again child is the Spirit of Christ. This Spirit recreated in the human spirit will relentlessly seek reunion with the soul until the bride herself appears.

From the beginning the recreated spirit was the designated mate of the soul. But even one so desirable does not easily overcome the rebellious nature of the un-trained soul. Within the soul domains remain that want to rule. The triggers of the sense realm, which are the mind, will and emotions will continue to influence the attitudes and actions of the individual self. These principalities must be conquered one by one. The mind must be re-taught, desires retrained and the will must learn submission to the recreated spirit. The soul will then be joined to the recreated spirit in joyous surrender.

See the analogy concerning the wife as the soul and the husband as the spirit in the following Scripture:

"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. In this same way, husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies. He who loves his wife loves himself" (Ephesians 5:25-28)

PROVISION HAS BEEN MADE AND WILL SUFFICE FOR THE FUTURE. THE WAY OF MANKIND IS EXEMPLIFIED IN THE REMARKABLE MOVEMENT OF THE SPIRIT IN THIS DAY. ALL THINGS ARE COMPOUNDING TO BRING FULFILLMENT OF THE PLAN SET FORTH IN THE BEGINNING. WHEN THE RAGE OF THE ENEMY IS EVIDENT AS IT IS TODAY, YOU CAN BE SURE THAT THE FORCES OF MY STRENGTH ARE AT WORK IN A MOST EFFECTIVE WAY. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE REIGN OF THE KINGDOM IS COMING INTO FOCUS.

STAY TRUE TO THE LIFE WITHIN YOU. THE FORMATION OF CHRIST IN YOU MUST SUPERSEDE THE STRENGTH OF THE WORLD.

See Galatians 4:19

THESE ARE THE DAYS OF FULFILLMENT. THE WAY OF THE LORD IS SUPREME IN THE LAND.

LET NO ONE BE DECEIVED. THE SHELTER FOR THESE DAYS WILL BE FOUND ONLY IN ME. DO NOT LOOK FOR A WAY TO STORE UP SUPPLIES FOR THE FUTURE; YOUR FUTURE MUST BE IN ME. ALL ELSE WILL PERISH. PUT YOUR TRUST IN THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND LOOK TO ME TO SUPPLY YOUR NEEDS. YOU WILL KNOW THAT IT IS THE CREATOR WHO SUSTAINS LIFE, NOT THE WAY OF THE WORLD. THERE IS NO ESCAPE FROM THIS TIME; THERE IS NO WAY OUT. ALL WILL HAVE TO TURN TO THE LORD OR PERISH.

MORTIFY THE FLESH SO THAT THE SOUL MAY BE SANCTIFIED. THE FIRE IS UPON THE ALTAR.

Before one can become a living sacrifice all that is of the flesh nature must be eliminated. The Living Word will do its work to displace death in the soul, thus preparing it for purification. Sanctification precedes purification. When obedience to Truth is learned the sanctified soul becomes an altar in which death is consumed in the Life of the spirit. Jesus Christ is the High Priest of this offering.

The sacrificial animals and the high priests who prepared them for the obligatory offering during ordination into the order of Aaron’s Priesthood were all types and shadows of the experience of the preparation of priests in the order of Melchizedek. The animal for the sacrificial offering had to be unblemished, thoroughly cleaned and washed and drained of blood. All parts that were considered to be unclean were burned outside of the temple before the unprofaned flesh of the sacrifice was laid upon the altar. So it is in this day. The sacrificial animal represented the soulish area of man, and Aaron was a type of Christ. The prepared Holocaust Offering was pleasing and acceptable to the Lord.

"'In the whole land,’ declares the LORD, ‘two-thirds will be struck down and perish; yet one-third I will bring into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on my name and I will answer them; I will say, ‘They are my people,’ and they will say, ‘The LORD is our God.’" (Zechariah 13:8, 9)

The fire of God is a consuming fire of righteous holiness. Nothing can survive this fire that has not first been prepared.

THE ONLY PLACE YOU CAN GET HURT IS IN THE FLESH.

The soul clings to the world by way of the sense realm. All that transpires from there is in danger of being wounded unto death. When the human soul finds its hiding place in God it is sustained by the Life of the Spirit and cannot be wounded. The flesh deprives the soul of Spiritual Life because of fear. The soul’s fear of the flesh being wounded is detrimental to the raising up of eternal man. The wounding of the flesh nature unto death brings eternal life to the soul.

"The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life." (John 6:63)

THE ANOINTING IS UPON THE WORD. WHEN YOU SPEAK THE ANOINTED WORD THE YOKE IS BROKEN.

The word in our hearts is the seed of the hope of promised glory. When one receives Christ Jesus the fulfillment of the law has come to him. To love is the only requirement. The word frees us from the slavery to fear because the Word is Life. Bondage to death has been in the area of sin for separation from God is death.

"No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him." (1 John 3:6)

"There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love." (1 John 4:18)

Lord, what is sin?

THE WILDERNESS IS SIN.

THE BARREN LAND IS SIN.

THAT WHICH DOES NOT BEAR FRUIT FOR THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS SIN.

THOSE WHO HAVE COME INTO MY FOLD ARE FREE FROM THE BURDEN OF GUILT FOR THE ACTS OF INJUSTICE AND ERRORS IN THEIR LIVES. THE DIFFERENCE OF BEING IN SIN AND COMMITTING ACTS OF SIN IS JESUS CHRIST.

MY CHILDREN MUST BE FREE FROM CONDEMNATION IN ORDER TO WALK BY THE SPIRIT. JESUS TOOK AWAY CONDEMNATION FOR THOSE WHO ARE IN HIM. WHEN YOU RELY ON YOUR OWN RIGHTEOUS ACTS AND THE KEEPING OF RULES AND REGULATIONS AS THE MEANS OF SALVATION, YOU SIN. THIS IS SEPARATION FROM YOUR FATHER INTO THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

THOSE WHO RELY FULLY UPON CHRIST JESUS FOR SALVATION, KNOWING THAT BY THEIR OWN EFFORT THEY CANNOT ATTAIN RIGHTEOUSNESS ARE THE REDEEMED, AND THEY ARE SEEN BY THE FATHER AS THE IMAGE OF JESUS.

IT IS NOT THE CESSATION OF WRONGFUL ACTS THAT MAKES ONE PURE BUT THE CLINGING TO CHRIST.

SIN IS SEPARATION FROM GOD AND SEPARATION FROM GOD IS DEATH.

"There is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. Because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death" (Romans 8:1, 2)

warning! To those who persist in iniquity after having received Jesus as Savior, read and heed Hebrews 10:26,31.

Father, what is the purpose for the Ten Commandments today?

IF YOU NEED THE TEN COMMANDMENTS YOU DON’T HAVE JESUS.

JESUS SETS A HIGHER STANDARD THAN PERFUNCTORY OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW. HIS STANDARD IS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. THE LAW WAS FOR MAN WITHOUT A SAVIOR AND IT WAS DESIGNED TO HOLD THE PLACE FOR THE ENTRANCE OF THE CHRIST OF GOD.

THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT SUPERSEDES THE TEN COMMANDMENTS.

Clinging to the Ten Commandments is bondage to the law. You cannot be faithful to part of the law and divorce yourself from part of it. When one looks to the keeping of the rules of Moses as the standard of the measure of his righteousness, he is being unfaithful to the One Who Has Come. Christ came in the flesh of man to finish the flesh walk of mankind. Now man must walk in Christ. In Him the Ten Commandments are fulfilled along with all of the law and its requirements.

Will You tell me, Lord, what was the meaning of the blood and water that flowed form the wounded side of Jesus?

THE LIFE OF THE FLESH NATURE IS IN THE BLOOD. JESUS POURED OUT THE LOWER NATURE OF MAN BY HIS BLOOD AND SUPPLIED THE LIFE OF THE SPIRIT IN THE WATER THAT FLOWED FROM HIS WOUNDED SIDE.

"...the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given you the blood to sprinkle upon the altar as an atonement for your souls; it is the blood that makes atonement...."(Leviticus 17:11; Living Bible)

"...whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." (John 4:14)

The life of the soul of fallen man lies in the blood of his flesh. God appointed the shedding of blood as the means of expiation for the guilt of sin. The blood that flowed from the wound in Jesus’ side poured out the life force of death-bound man. The renting of His flesh also caused water to flow symbolizing the Spirit that flows for eternal life. The water and the blood bear witness to the fact that support of the death nature was poured out and the Life of the Spirit given.

Father, what was the significance of the drink offering?

THE DRINK OFFERING POURED OUT ON THE BLOODY SACRIFICE TYPIFIED THE WATER THAT POURED FROM THE SIDE OF JESUS WHEN HE WAS CRUCIFIED.

Most Gracious Lord, I want to know, what is the meaning of Babylon?

BABYLON IS THE BOORISH WAYS MAN HAS DEVISED TO CIRCUMVENT THE MOVE OF GOD IN THE WORLD. BABYLON WILL BE PUT IN A STRAIGHT JACKET

THE PURITY OF MY PEACE WILL REIGN. DARKNESS AND LIGHT CANNOT FLOW TOGETHER. THE TRUTH HAS BEEN SHROUDED IN DARKNESS.

BABYLON IS THE WHORE WHO HAS PROSTITUTED HERSELF WITH THE WORLD. I HAVE NO LOVE FOR HER. SHE HAS NO HUSBAND, ONLY A PARAMOUR. BABYLON HAS SPAWNED A CHILD - THE RELIGIOUS SPIRIT. DO NOT LET YOUR GARMENTS BE STAINED BY THIS FALSE SERVANT.

boorish; Cruel, lecherous.

circumvent: to surround as by craft or stratagem; to gain advantage over by deception.

shroud: A garment for the dead.

spawn: To bring forth or be the source of something regarded with contempt and produced prolifically.

When man moved away from the glory of God he began to build his own poor kingdom by his strength in the carnality of his flesh. That kingdom is Babylon, and it exists in darkness.

The way of carnality is without compassion. It is cruel and lecherous, crafty, full of deceit. The building up of this wickedness has surrounded the things of God to make them seem foolish to the logical mind. From Babylon the Spirit of Truth has been wrapped in deceit and made to be viewed as dead. The carnal nature is aimed toward keeping the soul separated from the Spirit of God. Babylon has no seed and cannot propagate life. It can only spread as does decay, mold and fungus, and it spreads without abandon to the detriment of mankind. The souls of those in Babylon are as spoiled and rotted things - infected things, dead things, yellow like decayed things. For they exist in darkness.

THE CEILING OF MAN’S UNDERSTANDING IS BEING RAISED IN PREPARATION FOR THE APPEARANCE OF CHRIST.

The Lord is filling his clay pots with new wine just in time for the wedding feast. The best has been saved until last! This magnificent event was foreshadowed at the wedding in Cana.

"On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, ‘They have no more wine.’ ‘Dear woman, why do you involve me?’ Jesus replied, ‘My time has not yet come’ "His mother said to the servants, ‘Do whatever he tells you.’ Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, ‘Fill the jars with water.’ So they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, ’Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet." They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, ‘Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.’" (John 2:1-10)

During the wedding celebration the stewards notified the host that they had run out of wine. At the news Mary, mother of Jesus, implored Him to remedy the situation. At His behest the jars were filled with water and when the master of the banquet tasted the water that had turned to wine, he declared that the best wine had been saved for last.

So it is in this day. The new wine [revelation] cannot be put into old wineskins [flesh] but the clay pots [elect] have been filled with the water of the word, and as it is savored it becomes the wine for the Wedding Feast of the Lamb.

AND THE SEA SHALL GIVE UP ITS DEAD.

The sea is the teeming masses of those who are dead to Christ.

I WILL ESTABLISH MY CHURCH IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION.

The congregation is the community of people coming together, bound by their common faith and love for Christ the Lord. [This is the Church of the Firstborn.]

"You have come to Mount Zion, to the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. You have come to thousands of angels in joyful assembly, to the church of the firstborn, whose names are written in heaven. You have come to God, the judge of all men, to the spirits of the righteous men made perfect, to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Able". (Hebrews 12:22-24)

1986 -FIRMLY FIX

THE CHURCH AGE HAS BEEN FOR THE CARE AND FEEDING OF MORTAL MAN. THE KINGDOM AGE IS FOR THE BUILDING UP OF ETERNAL MAN CAUSING MORTAL MAN TO DIE.

THE YEAR HAS ARRIVED THAT WILL SEE THE BLESSINGS RETURNED TO MY CHILDREN. I AM FULFILLING THE DECREE MADE BY FAITH SO LONG AGO. SPLENDID OCCURRENCES STAND BEFORE YOU. HAVE NO FEAR. ALL IS WELL.

DO NOT HESITATE TO CALL UPON MY NAME FOR YOUR NEEDS IN EVERY AREA OF YOUR LIFE. MY SUPPLY IS COMPLETE. I LISTEN TO YOUR VOICE. MY LOVE FOR YOU IS STEADFAST AND STRONG. I AM A SHIELD AROUND YOU AND I PROTECT FROM WITHIN.

YOU DO NOT BELIEVE THAT I WILL ALLOW THE EVIL WILL OF CARNALITY TO CONTINUE, DO YOU? THE VICTORY IS ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED IN CHRIST JESUS. THE DISPLAY OF POWER TO BE SEEN IN THE COMING DAYS WILL BESPEAK THE TRIUMPH AWAITING ALL WHO WILL ALLOW MY LIFE FULL SWAY IN THEIR BEING.

Read Isaiah 28:16-29; 43:1-21

The reference to "year" is to denote the beginning of an event or to mark the event itself. In this instance I believe that it is in reference to the beginning of the fulfillment of the new order - heaven and earth becoming one.

The framework for this event was revealed long ago to the Prophet Daniel. Men have struggled with the mysterious sounding "sevens" and have prophesied the moment of their unfolding. But it is not a time to be marked by men. Rather, it is an unseen occurrence that will have glorious repercussions in the natural realm. The "final seven" of the prophecy was begun in the three and one-half year ministry of Jesus and will be completed by Christ moving His flesh and bone body to bring in everlasting righteousness. This is not a set time but an event orchestrated in the Spiritual realm where time is not measured.

MY GLORY WILL BE SEEN THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE. THE POWER OF MY COMING HAS BEEN STORED IN THE VESSELS WHO WILL CARRY IT - THE SHEKINAH! THE OUTSHINING WILL BE SEEN. BE READY. THE DAY FAST APPROACHES.

THE WISDOM OF THIS MOVE IS THE MIND OF CHRIST; HE PROPELS THIS BODY.

"Now God has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight without blemish and free from accusations - if you continue in your faith, established and firm."... (Colossians 1:22)

We are called upon to finish in our flesh what remains of the afflictions that wounded Jesus, for the sake of His body, which is the church. The resurrected body of Jesus bore the wounds of the cross, and it will bear those wounds until the flesh of His body is healed, united and standing as the ascended Christ.

MY BODY SHALL RISE AS ONE.

CHILDREN ARE BORN IN THE WORLD WITH A HUMAN NATURE, AND THE INHERITANCE OF A BLOODLINE. FOR THAT NATURE TO BE TRANSFORMED TEMPTATIONS MUST BE OVERCOME. JUST AS I WAS TESTED IN THE WILDERNESS MY CHILDREN ARE SUBJECTED TO TRIALS IN THE WORLD. I PROVIDE STRENGTH AND SUPPORT SO THEY CAN HAVE VICTORY OVER THE WORLD. AS YOU WALK THROUGH THE WORLD THE TEMPTATIONS ARE PREVALENT. I AM THE OVERCOMER. STAY IN ME.

LET THE DEAD BURY THE DEAD.

YOUR FLESH NATURE IS DEAD. QUIT LOOKING AT IT. IT WILL NOT RISE AGAIN TO CONSUME YOU. THE DEAD IN CHRIST MUST BURY THE OLD NATURE. DO NOT GO BACK TO LOOK AT IT FOR FEAR THAT IT HAS RISEN. FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT RISE UP. IT IS NOW THE CHRIST IN YOU WHO LIVES.

THIS IS LIKE EVERY THING ELSE - YOU MUST LEARN TO TRUST. WALK IN THE NEW NATURE.

OIL AND WATER DO NOT MIX. OIL IS FOR ANOINTING; WATER IS FOR SATURATING. THE WAY I AM MOVING YOU IN THIS DAY IS BY SATURATION IN THE LIFE OF CHRIST. THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM THE WALK BY THE SPIRIT.

WHAT I WANT TO GIVE YOU IS NOT AN ANOINTING FOR A SEASON. THIS IS FOR ETERNITY. LET YOUR WILL GO. LET GO OF ALL THE CONCERNS OF THIS WORLD IN ORDER TO KNOW MY GLORY. THIS HAS NOT BEEN DONE BEFORE. IT IS THE DESIGN OF MY PURPOSE. YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THE REASON FOR YOUR BEING.

THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE FIRSTFRUIT OF THE PROMISED INHERITANCE. IT ENABLES YOU TO MOVE ON TO THE SATURATION OF THE LIFE OF CHRIST.

HE WHO HAS EARS LET HIM HEAR.

I AM BUILDING UNTO MYSELF A PEOPLE. A PEOPLE WHO WILL NOT STUMBLE OR FAIL. A PEOPLE WHO WILL BE ONE IN MIND, LOVE AND PURPOSE. THIS BODY WILL MOVE UPON THE WORLD AND BY THE WORD OF THEIR MOUTH DESTROY THE STRONGHOLDS OF EVIL AND CAUSE THE LAST VESTIGES OF SATAN’S POWER TO BE GROUND UNDER THEIR FEET.

THIS BODY IS MY STRENGTH IN THIS DAY AND SHALL SHOW FORTH MY GLORY. BEHOLD! I DO THE NEW THING THAT I HAVE PROMISED.

Jesus was the sacrifice of flesh and blood to rid mankind of the carnal nature. He returned by His Spirit so that we could have life to the full. In His body the strength of carnality was cursed to death and drained away. Now the activity of the carnal nature is bound to man only by his own will. The strength of evil comes from within fallen man at his acquiescence and to his peril. Evil is not a force. Evil is a strength that feeds off of the human soul through the sense realm, which is influenced by carnality. The way out of this turmoil of despair is Christ Jesus - the Way, the Truth and the Life.

Mankind’s finest hour is upon him because the Father God is calling His righteous remnant to be the manifested example of life in abundance. These have learned overcoming power and are the traffic directors to detour the flow of humanity away from Babylon and toward the Kingdom of God.

"To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son". (Revelation 21:6, 7)

MY WORDS ARE SPOKEN TO MANY. THEY MAY BE RECEIVED EAGERLY OR THEY MAY BE REJECTED. THE WORST THING IS FOR MY WORDS TO BE TWISTED. HOW CAN THE WORLD BE SET FREE IF MY CHILDREN TWIST THE TRUTH? MY WORDS NEED TO BE RECEIVED WITH A FRUITFUL HEART. THE INTERCESSION OF THE SAINTS PREPARES THE WAY.

MY WORD DOES NOT CHANGE FROM AGE TO AGE. YET, UNDERSTANDING CHANGES AS TRUTH IS REVEALED. THE WRITTEN WORD WILL NOT FADE AWAY BUT WILL BE FULFILLED.

MANY TIMES MY CHILDREN COME TO ME AND THEY WANT TO KNOW TRUTH, A REVELATION OF THE WRITTEN WORD. AS KNOWLEDGE COMES AND THE CHANGING TIMES ARE UPON YOU, THE REVEALED WORD, WHICH I HAVE INDELIBLY INSCRIBED UPON YOUR HEART, WILL BE FULFILLED TO YOUR UNDERSTANDING.

DISCOVER KNOWLEDGE THROUGH WISDOM GAINED IN COMMUNION WITH ME. THIS WILL OPEN THE DOOR TO THE LIGHT THAT IS NEEDED IN THIS DAY.

"He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant - not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life." (2 Corinthians 3:6)

THERE ARE STEPS TO BE ACHIEVED IN EACH LEVEL OF YOUR GROWTH IN THE LORD YOUR GOD. WHEN YOU REACH THE UPPERMOST STEP IN EACH LEVEL YOU THEN START A NEW CLIMB TO THE NEXT ECHELON. DO NOT BE DISMAYED WHEN THE NEW OPENS TO YOU. EACH IS AN ADVANCEMENT IN THE WALK WITH THE LORD. AS YOU MOVE ABOVE THE AREA OF ANOINTING YOU WILL HAVE A DIFFERENT PERCEPTION OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

MY NATURE IS UNCONDITIONAL LOVE. THIS NATURE IS COMING FORTH NOW IN MY VESSELS - JUST TRUST THIS TO HAPPEN. ALL THAT WOULD HINDER THIS OCCURRENCE IS BEING HELD BACK. FEAR WILL NOT BE RELEASED. FAITH AND LOVE WILL FLOW TOGETHER.

UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS THE TIME OF THE SABBATH REST. YOUR RESPONSIBILITY IS TO RESPOND TO ME IN OBEDIENCE. YOUR PLANS HAVE NO PART IN THIS DAY. THE DESIGN OF MY PURPOSE IS PERFECT. THERE IS NO FLAW. WHERE THERE IS NO FLAW THERE CAN BE NO FAILURE.

JUST AS THE WORLD LOOKED AT CHRIST JESUS AND SAW A MAN, SO THE WORLD WILL SEE CHRIST WHEN THEY LOOK AT ETERNAL MAN.

THE WATER IS THE WORD - THE WORD IS IN THE VESSELS. THE RIVER OF LIFE SUPPLIES THE FOUNTAIN THAT FILLS THE VESSELS. THE FOUNTAIN IS CHRIST. THE VESSELS OVERFLOW WITH LIVING WATER - FIRST A TRICKLE THEN A STREAM. FINALLY A MIGHTY RIVER WILL SERVE ALL THE LAND.

"If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, streams of living water will flow from within him." (John 7:37, 38)

"On that day living water will flow out from Jerusalem" (Zechariah 14:8)

ORDERED

ORDAINED

ESTABLISHED

The Kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. It is the sphere of God’s rule.

The LORD God Elohim ordered the Kingdom of God into being before the foundation of the world. It was ordained in the realm of mortal man by Jesus Christ. It is to be established in earth as it is in the heavenly realm by Christ and His body -eternal man.

WHEREVER THE KING OF GLORY ABIDES THERE ALSO IS THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

garden of eden- The Kingdom present.

the fall of man - The Kingdom far removed.

appearance of jesus - The Kingdom among men.

upper room experience - The Kingdom of God within man.

appearance of christ in the flesh of his many-membered body - The Kingdom of God in earth as it is in heaven.

SANCTUARY

The sanctuary is Holy Ground. We abide in the Holy Spirit until we find our resting place in the Holiest Place, which is the Bosom of the Father. In His Sanctuary the full inheritance in Christ will be realized.

BECAUSE OF THE WORDS SPOKEN FROM THE RECREATED SPIRIT INTO THE NATURAL REALM THORNS AND THISTLES WILL BE PRODUCED FOR THE LORD. THESE THORNS AND THISTLES WILL ERADICATE THE OLD, THE ADVERSE, AND MAKE WAY FOR THE PLANTS OF THE FIELD TO SPRING UP.

"The Lord will demolish their altars and destroy their sacred stones. The high places of wickedness will be destroyed - it is the sin of Israel. Thorns and thistles will grow up and cover their altars. Then they will say to the mountains, "Cover us!" and to the hills, 'Fall on us!'" (Hosea 10:2 & 8)

PROPAGATE

As the plantings of the Lord spring up they propagate in their kind throughout the world. Light must come for this event to occur.

Light is spread two ways - by waves and by particles. The most effective tool to produce Light is praying in the Spirit. Light is propagated by waves when such prayer pours from the lips of a submitted servant of the Lord. Principalities tumble and the atmosphere is recreated in this Light. The Light causes the seedlings of the Word to spring up in the fields of the world. When the seed of the Word comes up as a shoot it has taken human form. When the Word is spoken and done in individuals it is further propagated by particles of Light.

"Then all of your people will be righteous and they will possess the land forever. They are the shoots I have planted, the work of my hands, for the display of my splendor" (Isaiah 60:21)

THE PLACE I WANT YOU TO BE IS IN MY BOSOM. THIS IS THE PLACE OF REPOSE WHERE THE CONFLICTS OF THE WORLD WILL BE REMOVED.

JUST AS I PLANTED A SEED WITHIN YOU, THE SEED FROM THE FRUIT PRODUCED THERE IS BEING PLANTED BACK INTO THE PLACE OF ITS ORIGIN - MY BOSOM. IT IS THERE THAT YOU WILL GROW UNTIL YOU ARE ABLE TO STEP FORTH FULLY FORMED IN THE LIGHT OF MY GLORY. WHILE THIS SEED GOES THROUGH ITS GERMINATION AND GROWING PERIODS IT IS HARDLY SEEN, BUT WHEN MATURITY IS REACHED, OH THE BEAUTY OF ITS BLOOMING!

THE VALLEY OF ARMAGEDDON IS FILLED AND THE FIERCE BATTLE CONTINUES. DECISIONS ARE MADE AND SAINTS SELECTED. THE ENEMY’S STRONGHOLDS ARE WEAKENED AND DEFENSES ARE DOWN. PRAYER IN THE SPIRIT ACCOMPLISHED ITS INTENDED WORK.

RECOMPENSE FOR EVIL DEEDS WILL BE FORFEITED BY THE EVIL DOER. I WILL NOT ALLOW JUSTICE TO BE SKIRTED. WITH ALL THE JOY THAT HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED IN THE FAITHFUL HEART THE NEW SONG WILL BE SUNG. THE SHOUTS OF VICTORY WILL BE HEARD THROUGHOUT THE LAND.

I AM TELLING YOU THESE THINGS SO THAT YOU WILL HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE DAYS AHEAD.

Armageddon is the proverbial place of spiritual battles. Spiritual strongholds are weakened and torn down through prayer, and obedience comes as the time of refreshing overtakes the human heart. Armageddon is not a battlefield for war among men. It is the war that is fought by the recreated spirit against the ranks of the enemy in the ground of the human soul. Flesh is thus consumed by the righteousness in recreated man.

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realm...." (Ephesians 5:12)

"And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests...." (Ephesians 5:18)

MY WAY CANNOT FAIL. THE CURSE IS REVERSED AS JUDGMENT COMES AND THE WORLD LEARNS RIGHTEOUSNESS.

THE LESS THAT THE FRUIT YOU ARE BEARING MINISTERS TO THE NATURAL REALM, THE HIGHER YOUR PLATEAU OF LIVING IN CHRIST. THIS IS BREAKING AWAY. BREAKING AWAY FROM THE WORLD MUST OCCUR.

AS I STEP, YOU WILL STEP.

AS I SPEAK, YOU WILL SPEAK.

AS I KNOW, YOU WILL KNOW.

THE RICHNESS OF THIS TIME HAS NEVER BEFORE BEEN MET. LET ME COMPLETE THE FULL PURPOSE OF MY PLAN FOR YOU. TOTAL SURRENDER IS YOUR PASSAGE TO THE HEIGHTS. LET ME TAKE YOU THERE.

THE REVEALED WORD IS THE WAY THAT OPENS TRUTH AND WISDOM TO YOU. EVERYTHING YOU NEED AWAITS. PRAYER REMOVES THE HINDRANCES.

Show me the way, Father.

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM LORD. FORSAKE ALL THINGS THAT WOULD BIND YOU TO THE WORLD.

DO NOT HINDER ME BY LOOKING AT CIRCUMSTANCES.

LET MY LOVE AND LIFE FLOW THROUGH YOU.

DO NOT MAKE JUDGMENTS CONCERNING OTHER LIVES.

THE TIME IS RIPE FOR THE FALLING AWAY OF THE TIES TO THE WAYS OF THE PAST. LOOK FORWARD!

THIS IS THE DAY THAT THE LORD HAS MADE. REJOICE AND BE GLAD IN IT.

I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE. TODAY I HAVE MOVED INTO THE AREA OF THE MIND AND BROUGHT A SEPARATION. WHERE THERE WAS DOUBT AND FEAR I HAVE BROUGHT THOUGHTS OF FAITH AND LOVE. WHERE THE EVIL ONE HAS STOLEN I HAVE BROUGHT YOU PEACE.

WHEN YOU SEE FAITH AND LOVE ESTABLISHED TOGETHER, YOU WILL SEE THE PERFECT FORM. THAT PERFECT FORM IS THE NEW MAN WHO WALKS - THE NEW CREATION. THIS WILL BE MANIFESTED IN THE FLESH OF YOUR BODIES, MY MANY MEMBERED BODY. THIS IS THE RESURRECTION - THE PROJECTION OF ME.

DEAR CHILDREN, YOU NOW HAVE LIFE BECAUSE I LIVE. CHRIST IS THE LIFE.

We have been pardoned and made the righteousness of God through the cross of Christ, but His Life saves us. His body of condemnation was nailed to the cross, thus cursing sin to death. His blood poured out reversed the curse of our mortality. But it is His Spirit given that enables us to go on to know the Lord and brings us Life everlasting. It is this source of Life that shall work in us the complete transformation back to His divine nature.

"Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God’s wrath through Him! For if, when we were God’s enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation." (Romans 5:9-11)

THERE IS A BREAKTHROUGH IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM. BECAUSE OF THE OBEDIENCE OF THE SAINTS I NOW HAVE CONTROL OF THEIR SPIRITS. THE CONCEPT OF LOVE RULING THE UNIVERSE IS COMING INTO REALITY THROUGH THE LIGHT OF UNDERSTANDING. THE PATH OF OBEDIENCE HAD TO BE FIXED AND WALKED UPON IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM BEFORE THIS COULD BE SEEN.

AS THESE CONTINUE IN YIELDED OBEDIENCE THE RESULTS WILL BE SEEN IN THE NATURAL REALM. UNCONDITIONAL LOVE WILL BE KNOWN AMONG MANKIND. THE UNDERSTANDING AND THE POSSESSION OF THE WAY OF LOVE IS COMING INTO THE WORLD.

AS THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD BECOME AWARE OF THIS LOVE THEY WILL BE DRAWN TO ITS SOURCE, AND ENTER IN THROUGH THE SON. INDIVIDUALLY THEY WILL COME TO BE UNITED IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

YOU CANNOT ENTER JERUSALEM CARRYING A LOAD ON THE SABBATH.

"This is what the LORD says: 'Be careful not to carry a load on the Sabbath day or bring it through the gates of Jerusalem. Do not bring a load out of your houses or do any work on the Sabbath, but keep the Sabbath day holy, as I commanded your forefathers.'" (Jeremiah 17:21, 22)

Jerusalem is an event in the development of the elect in Christ. Jerusalem is the Holy City - Bride of Christ. This place is gained in each individual soul as submission to the recreated spirit is achieved. Jerusalem is the bride formed in the congruent body, as the elect become one in Christ. The entrance into Spiritual Jerusalem is open only in the time of the Sabbath rest in Christ. All that is done, thought or said must be by His motivation. Take no thought; make no plan. Carry no concern, no care, and no burden. This is not a call to passivity but to relinquishment. Relinquish your mind, will and purpose in favor of submission to Christ.

The Sabbath is the Day of the rest remaining. It is a time to worship God in perfect obedience. (See Hebrews 4:1-11)

"I urge you, brothers, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God - this is your reasonable act of worship" (Romans 12:1)

THE MAN OF THE FLESH IS DEATH-BOUND - MORTAL.

Eternal man must be raised up to effect the death of mortal man. As the seed from the Fruit of the Spirit is planted back and grows stronger and stronger the man of the flesh nature recedes. This is the course that has been laid out and must be walked upon.

The "good works" done by natural man have been done to improve the lot of death-bound man. It is time to make way for the Christ-man to come forward. As the Kingdom of God begins to rule the need for the "good works" of the flesh will be removed.

S-I-N: WALKING SEPARATELY FROM GOD.

All of the pain in the world is caused by separation from God. There would be no personal acts of disobedience; there would be no turmoil, no illness, and no tragedy if people were not disconnected from the Creator. However, times of trouble come to the righteous as well as to the unrighteous. Although the redeemed belong to God’s Kingdom, they live in a fallen world where fallen things happen. Sin abounds because the world system is an operation that is separated from God. Sorrows are the result of the choice made long ago. Babylon functions in the world through the minds of men controlled by the carnal nature as they design the plans and methods of humanity. The energy of the lower nature [influence of the prince-of-the-power-of-the-air] charges the atmosphere with evil as it moves from person to person and place to place, until all are touched by the sway of darkness.

When mankind fell from the Eden of God the tranquility of the earth was given over to the realm of carnality. Man’s failure caused everything under his guardianship to land under the dominion of the carnal nature. Almighty God cannot be blamed for the physical results of the world moving upon the track that carnality chooses. God’s immutable law has been set in the realm of heaven, and the out-working of its intent even among the disobedient people of the earth will not be altered.

Man has found it very convenient to blame all of the evil that besets him on some wicked entity that has power beyond man’s control. But it is man himself who controls that power, and we are advancing toward the day of reckoning when according to our enlightenment we will be called to account for our deeds. I say to you: The Savior has come. He has given us overcoming power. How can we then continue to walk in less than Christ when we have been called to such a great salvation?

DRINK ONLY OF THE LIVING WATER. THE LIFE MOVING YOU NOW IS THE VITALITY THAT YOU HAVE LONGED FOR.

SWEET ARE THESE DAYS FOR THEY WILL SEE MY PURPOSE LIVE. MY PURPOSE WILL BE RESURRECTED IN THE OBEDIENCE OF THOSE OF MY BODY. IT WILL BE SEEN AND RECOGNIZED BY THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD. MY PURPOSE IS LOVE ALIVE - ALIVE IN MY CREATION WITH HARMONY RESTORED THROUGHOUT THE UNIVERSE. THIS LAND HAS A SONG TO SING BUT IT MUST BE SUNG WITH ONE VOICE.

THIS IS THE REFRESHING.

The Lord refreshes those whom He has redeemed. He reclaims those He has refreshed. He will restore all into the Kingdom of God.

Lord, what was the meaning of your partaking of the broiled fish and the honeycomb?

THE HONEY IN THE COMB REPRESENTS THE WORD THAT MUST BE DRAWN OUT TO BE FULLY ENJOYED.

THE BROILED FISH WAS UNPROFANED FLESH [without blood] WHICH HAD BEEN PUT TO THE FLAME. IT REPRESENTS MAN DRAINED OF CORRUPTION [unprofaned] BY EXCHANGING THE LIFE OF THE BLOOD FOR THE LIFE OF THE SPIRIT. HIS FLESH IS PURIFIED AS IT COMES INTO CONTACT WITH THE LIFE OF GOD [fire]. THIS FIRE CAUSES ETERNAL MAN TO RISE IN THE GLORY OF GOD. AS I APPEAR HE APPEARS WITH ME. IN THIS WAY I PARTAKE OF HIS NOW UNPROFANED FLESH.

The flesh nature of man has been trained by the elemental principles of the world. These principles must be overcome, cast away and consumed before man may be presented as a living sacrifice to the Lord. This wondrous event can come only after the New Life Substance has been presented into the heart of men.

DO NOT HOLD ALMIGHTY GOD WITHIN THE CONFINES OF YOUR OWN FAITH. RELEASE YOUR FAITH TO THE POWER OF HIS FAITH! GOD’S FAITH IS FACT.

When we wait upon the Lord to move in answer to our prayers and according to our faith, we rely on works. We are seeing our faith as the vehicle to move God. Trust God. Faith is the avenue of trust not the vehicle. Touch His garment in the Name of Jesus. This is faith in God and it enlarges our trust. Even faith as small as a mustard seed will cause the Kingdom to grow to a large tree.

Mighty miracles occur at the laying on of hands and a command of a word because of anointing. This is a gift of faith and its power is the Holy Spirit. The way God moves in the "in-part walk" is by the Spirit recreated in the human spirit. Today a remnant is rising who will move in the saturation of Christ’s Life, not by anointing. Things that are viewed now as miracles will indeed pass away for sin and death will be overcome.

WHEN THE FALL SEASON APPROACHES I WANT YOU TO BE READY TO LIVE OUT MY WORD. CAN YOU DO IT? ARE YOU READY TO TRUST MY FAITH? LET ME BE THE ARMED GUARDIAN OF ALL THAT YOU SPEAK AND DO. BE READY AT MY COMMAND TO STEP FORTH.

THIS DAY SHALL SET THE STANDARD. I IN YOU; YOU IN ME. THIS IS YOUR STRENGTH.

The fall season presents the Feast of Tabernacles.

In all that the Lord does and calls us to there is perfect form and order. He speaks of things to come as though they were now present. He prepares us by causing us to understand the things that await our arrival.

The Feast of Tabernacles is called a Sabbath observance, or a Sabbath of complete rest. To rest in God is a matter of trust as He brings forth the final fruit of His planting. This great transformation is to occur individually in the remnant of the elect and it will be celebrated in the time of the Sabbath Rest that is called TODAY.

The Feast of Tabernacles is a celebration of the full harvest. When this feast was celebrated in days of old the sacrificial animal was carried to the altar for the holocaust offering while the people chanted this excerpt from Psalm 118:

"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the LORD."

Just before His crucifixion at the time of the celebration of "Tabernacles", Jesus said in the voice of Christ:

"Look, your house is left to you desolate. For I tell you, you will not see me again until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.’" (Matthew 23:38, 39)

Watch for the fulfillment of theses words as the celebration of Tabernacles is celebrated in this day in the congruent body of Christ.

NOTHING WILL BE CHANGED IN THESE DAYS EXCEPT THROUGH THE TRUTH SPOKEN WITHOUT ADULTERATION FROM THE MIND. WORDS SPOKEN FROM THE UNRENEWED AREA OF THE MIND WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED OR EXCHANGED. THE RAMPAGE IS ON. THE VICTORY IS MINE. DO NOT BE TROUBLED IN THIS BUT STAND FIRM. TRUST THE HOLY ONE WHO REIGNS IN THE EARTH. YES, IN THE EARTH. YOU WILL SEE.

Somehow I keep hearing these words: "You are as old as you are going to get." I know this is the Spirit speaking truth to me.

YOUTH IS TO BE RESTORED - THE RAVAGES OF TIME REVERSED. WATCH! WATCH AND SEE!

I WILL REBUILD TISSUE AND SINEW AND SKIN AND BONE. I WILL REPLACE WHAT HAS BEEN DESTROYED. THE CRIPPLED AND THE MAIMED WILL COME TO BE HEALED IN MY LIVING WATERS. THIS IS FIRM! IT IS A PROMISE. YOU WILL BEHOLD IT.

WHEN THE RICHNESS AND THE FULLNESS OF MY BEING IS ESTABLISHED IN EARTH THESE THINGS WILL COME TO PASS.

When we reach the place of the changeover from a person of the flesh to one of the spirit, our chronological age will cease to exist. In Christ we are a new creation. It is in this creature that He will form a new area that corresponds to the sense realm, but without the influence of the fleshly intent. This is the resurrection of Christ in His many-membered body of flesh and bone.

IT IS A FAR, FAR BETTER THING THAT I DO THAN HAS EVER BEEN DONE BEFORE.

"But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so they will be like his glorious body." (Philippians 3:20, 21)

Not only will mortality take on immortality, but also Christ will use His many-membered body as His own. The power of Christ moved in Jesus, and that same power will enable His body to do the greater things that Jesus spoke of through many rather than only one.

PERPETUITY

The Father holds the inheritance of the children of God in perpetuity until time has reached its fulfillment.

God seals us with the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of the better thing to come. This sacred trust is sealed by the down payment of the recreated spirit, and interest is paid until maturity is reached when the full inheritance is available. The interest is like an annuity paid during the earth walk of mortal man, and it is in the form of Spiritual Blessings - gifts of the Holy Spirit, the Name of Jesus, privilege of prayer, sacraments of baptism, communion and more. These are tools to be used until the whole body grows up to the measure whose standard is Christ.

When we receive Jesus as Savior we are children of the Father with the privilege of an inheritance promised. Just a his father cares for a child, so it is with a child of the heavenly Father. He is protected and his daily needs are supplied to him. By the power of the Holy Spirit and the authority of the Name of Jesus, those of the rebirth learn to command and needs are met because of the benefits granted the sons of God. But he who overcomes will receive the full inheritance as the son of the Father, for maturity has then been met.

"...we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is...." (1 John 3:2)

"He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son". (Revelation 21:7)

"When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory." (Colossians 3:4)

UNTO YOU A SIGN IS GIVEN, UNTO YOU THE SON IS BORN. THIS IS THE SIGN BROUGHT BY CHRIST JESUS - HE WAS A SIGN UNTO HIMSELF. THIS IS THE REVELATION I WANT YOU TO HAVE OF MY BIRTH.

The Lord chose to give a sign that the house of Israel would rise again and the evil intent against it would be overturned. Here are the words of Isaiah:

"...Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel" (Isaiah 7:13, 14)

Immanuel means, "God with us". Jesus the Christ, born of a virgin, was the sign of the greater thing to come. The greater thing is Christ reborn of the virgin bride -- the Church of the Firstborn. Christ will be made manifest in the form of the many-membered body - the son of the Father.

For to us a child is born, to us a son is given....

"Of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the LORD Almighty will accomplish this" (Isaiah 9:6, 7)

"A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit" (Isaiah 11:1)

Jesus is the shoot from out of Jesse, and the branches are His congruent body, which will bear the fruit. In the first advent of Christ’s appearing in human form He was born through the womb of a virgin, for the spirit of mankind was dead. The second advent of His appearance in human form He enters through the spirit of a virgin bride, for now the flesh is dead. Before, the world beheld the Christ and saw a man. Soon they shall see a many-membered-man and behold the Christ.

"Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets." (Amos 3:7)

YOU ARE TO WALK THE WALK OF THE OVERCOMER. WHEN AN ATTACK COMES JUST LIFT UP ABOVE IT. WHEN TROUBLE COMES DO NOT BECOME ONE WITH IT.

We aren’t dealing with flesh and blood but with principalities and thieves of power. Remember to speak to the higher man, never to the place where one has stooped which allowed evil to operate in his being. Deal with the higher man with words that build up. Minister to the spiritual area and trample under all that is crosswise to the Lord’s perfect will and purpose.

"Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written: 'It is mine to avenge; I will repay' says the Lord. 'In doing this, you heap burning coals on his head.'" (Romans 12:17-20)

COMMUNE WITH ME

To commune means to have a close, intimate relationship with another person - communication, fellowship,intercourse. In this connotation intercourse denotes spiritual communion.

Jesus gave the sacrament of the Lord’s Supper as a means of communion. He directed His disciples to partake of the elements of bread and wine in remembrance of all that He was doing until the Feast of Tabernacles was celebrated in the Kingdom of God. The Communion Table is for the fragmented body of Christ. The Wedding Feast is for the healed body united in Christ. He seeks communion with His bride, the Church of the Firstborn. This is the union that will bring forth the family of God in the Son.
